A $4 cheque from 1976 written by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to Radio Shack sold for over $36,000 at the Boston-based RR Auction on Wednesday. The cheque joined the hot market for Steve Jobs' signature, who drew the cheque against the Apple Computer Company account at a Wells Fargo Bank in Los Altos, California. However, it is not the first time a Steve Jobs-signed item sold for such a high price. In 2022, a $9.18 Apple Computer cheque signed by Steve Jobs in 1976 sold for $55,000, and another cheque of $13.36 from the same year to Elmar sold for $37,654 in March 2023. In 2018, Steve Jobs' signature on a job application for "electronics tech or designer engineer" from 1973 sold for $174,757. The auctioneer classified it as the Apple co-founder's earliest known signature.

They auctioned it for $1,594,500. On Wednesday, the RR Auction sold the $4 cheque to Radio Shack for $36,850. RR Auction said, "The biggest tech innovations of the 20th century are all, in varying degrees, indebted to the Boston-based electronics store". They described the item on sale as "a superb cheque signed by the innovative persona." Not only Steve Jobs' signatures but also his business cards have high value.

It was the highest price ever paid for a pair of sandals at an auction. Apple's first official address at 770 Welch Rd, Ste 154, Palo Alto, will be next on the auction list. The auction house said it was "the location of an answering service and mail drop they used while operating out of the famous Jobs family garage." A private collector has had the artefact in his collection since the 1990s, according to an auction house, Mercury News reported. (With inputs from agencies)

Scientists have pinpointed the location of the place where an asteroid hit Earth approximately 750,000 years ago. In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the planetary scientists released evidence showing that the location of impact crater they have been seeking for decades is on the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos.

Scientists have pinpointed the location of the place where an asteroid hit Earth approximately 750,000 years ago. In a study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the planetary scientists released evidence showing that the location of impact crater they have been seeking for decades is on the Bolaven Plateau in southern Laos. Although the evidence for the asteroid's size and event's timing is far and wide, the discovery of the location has been a multi-year study. Earlier studies say an asteroid hit the Earth's surface about 789,000 years ago, producing many rocks in southeast Asia and Australia. These black glassy rocks, called tektites, formed the most prominent debris spray from an extraterrestrial impact. Although older and bigger collisions have produced larger sprays, geological processes have long buried the evidence. However, the tektites are recent enough to be visible in several places. Also Read | Twin temples linked to Hercules and Alexander the Great discovered on top of each other in Iraq The location remained hidden for a long time due to geological conditions and thick rainforests. It is also in the world's most politically isolated nations. The team led by Professor Kerry Sieh of the Nanyang Technological University mentioned in the study that "the unexpected ordnance hampered fieldwork for decades." Sieh's team used a layer of pebble and boulder-sized rocks called Bolaven diamicton to identify the impact site's location. According to the research team, the impact broke the ancient sandstone and basaltic lava to form the diamicton. The research team also studied the conclusions of other studies on the impact crater, which convinced them it had not been found as it was filled with lava. From 2015 to 2023, they conducted field research, gathering and analysing tektites from the Bolaven impact and marking their locations on the map. They found small samples that would fit in hand and large deposits up to nine meters thick. Later, the maps pointed to a radical pattern of thickening ejecta (material thrown out during volcanic explosion) linked around a single plateau. The team believed this indicated where the asteroid crashed into the Earth. When the team introduced the idea of the crater being beneath the Bolavean Volcanic Field, they did not have enough evidence to convince the geologists. However, they have five separate datasets that point towards the location. Although the team needs to perform more research at or near the proposed impact site's vicinity, they are confident about the recent study, calling their results "all but definitive."

Juanita Castro Ruz was a Cuban-American activist and writer, and also the younger sister of Fidel and Raúl, both former presidents of Cuba, and Ramón, a prominent figure of the Cuban Revolution.

Juanita Castro Ruz was a Cuban-American activist and writer, and also the younger sister of Fidel and Raúl, both former presidents of Cuba, and Ramón, a prominent figure of the Cuban Revolution. She passed away on 4 December, 2023 in Miami at 90. Here's everything you need to know about Juanita Castro. Juanita Castro's Early Life Born in Birán near Mayarí on 6 May 1933, Juanita Castro was the fourth child of Ángel Castro y Argiz and Lina Ruz González. She had three brothers, Ramón, Fidel, and Raúl, and three sisters, Angelita, Emma, and Agustina. Castro had six other half-siblings. Juanita Castro's Political Life Juanita Castro actively participated in the Cuban revolution. In 1958, she went to the United States to raise funds to support the rebellious movement. However, she felt betrayed by the growing influence of Cuban communists in the government once the revolution was over. Initially, she supported her brothers' efforts to overthrow dictator Fulgencio Batista. However, Fidel and Raúl's government policies clashed with family interests, as after taking power in 1959, Fidel Castro became a hard-line communist and pushed those who disagreed with the government. WATCH | News anchor slams body shamer on live TV who asked if she’s pregnant, criticised her appearance In this climate, Juanita Castro, a staunch anti-communist, became a CIA double agent under the codename Donna to oppose her brothers' policies. In her book, Juanita wrote about how she collaborated with the CIA briefly after the US blew up the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. Juanita told the CIA agent that she didn't want the money. She did not support any violence against her brothers or others. However, she smuggled messages and documents back into Cuba inside tinned goods. The CIA communicated with her using shortwave radio. When she fled to the US, she helped find a CIA-backed non-profit organisation that worked against the Castro government. Juanita Castro's Later Life After her mother's death, she fled the island, went to the US and never saw her brothers again. In her later stages, she settled into a quiet life in Little Havana. In 1973, she opened a pharmacy, Mini Price, which she later sold to CVS Pharmacy. She became a US citizen in 1984. In 2009, she co-wrote her autobiography with Mexican journalist Antonieta Collins, The Secret History. She died in Miami, Florida, on 4 December, 2023, at 90. (With inputs from agencies)
