One does not just waltz in off the street and saunter out with a 5980/1R-001: No watch for you, sir — yet.Shreve, which dates back to the Gold Rush and operates a second boutique in the posh Stanford Shopping Center mall in Palo Alto, told Rezaei on that day in 2020 “that if he built up his ‘purchase history’ by buying a sufficient amount of other merchandise over time … they would offer the Promised Wa...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:14:19 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- If Silicon Valley was a nation, it would be deemed as a politically unstable country with extreme wealth inequalities, according to a new report released Tuesday by professors with San Jose State University's Human Rights Institute.

New data compiled by researchers outlines the region’s persistent inequalities, and "the astronomical concentration of wealth into the hands of an incredibly small number of households and companies," the report states. On the other end of the wealth spectrum, "San Jose leads the nation in young adult homelessness (ages 18-24)," the report states."Wealth disparity in our region is severe, re...

A diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes can be life-changing, and a Maryland teenager is using his experience with the disease to help other students adjust more easily to their diagnosis.Connor Pugh, 17, of Brookeville, has lived with diabetes for years. A rising senior at Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring and a Life Scout with the Scouts of America, Pugh came up with the plan to create diabetes kits as part of his Eagle Service project.The kits contain items ranging from insulin coolers to water bottles, ID bracelets and even sharps containers for needles.“It’s very hard to deal with needles when you’re out and about,” Pugh said.There are also calculators in each kit to help with insulin dosage calculations.Diabetics have to monitor their food intake and take that into account for insulin dosages, so calculations are just a part of their daily routine, which Hugh said can get “very complicated with decimals and whatnot, so a calculator is probably a necessi...
