If you've never had fruit with chili and limon, then you have not lived ... truly not lived. Is there anywhere in Burbank to get this? Nope! Not only do we not have street vendors, we really have no restaurants de Mexicano with authentic. I'm talking authentic tamales, taco de lengua, tripas, menudo, etc Where?? EastLos or downtown LA. I think it's bullshit that we have a strong Hispanic / Latin community, yet our restaurants do not reflect Burbank's cultural diversity; so to speak. Arrrrgggghhhh .... Sharkey's in Toluca Lake ... OMG, although the post is about street vendors, Sharkey's has the best, the very best chips & salsa bar & guac!! The tacos, not lengua, are still very authentic as the chips. Make the trip to Toluca Lake for their food!! Orale! And the staff are simply the best!! Station 51, fire guys from Universal, are here 3-4x a week. Trust them ♥ Can you imagine having food trucks or pop up vendors at the train station? OMG Jesus! The Amtra...

  Go where there is soil and foliage and where there are sprinklers. The breakdown of urine is good for soil and plants ... a natural fertilizer. [Camping and homelessness]. Primary Components Human urine consists primarily of water (91% to 96%), with organic solutes including urea, creatinine, uric acid, and trace amounts of enzymes, carbohydrates, hormones, fatty acids, pigments, and mucins, and inorganic ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-), magnesium (Mg2+), calcium (Ca2+), ammonium (NH4+), sulfates (SO42-), and phosphates (e.g., PO43-).1 A Representative Chemical Composition of Urine Water (H2O): 95% Urea (H2NCONH2): 9.3 g/l to 23.3 g/l Chloride (Cl-): 1.87 g/l to 8.4 g/l Sodium (Na+): 1.17 g/l to 4.39 g/l Potassium (K+): 0.750 g/l to 2.61 g/l Creatinine (C4H7N3O): 0.670 g/l to 2.15 g/l Inorganic sulfur (S): 0.163 to 1.80 g/l Lesser amounts of other ions and compounds are present, including hippuric acid, phosphorus, citric acid, glucuronic acid, ammonia, ...

I'm always talking about Singapore & SARS, so here is a bit of information: Communication pathways During the SARS outbreak, using various methods of distribution, made it easier to facilitate messages regarding prevention and protection measures. For example, the CDC’s (Centers for Disease Prevention and Control) website for detailed information regarding SARS, received more than 2.6 million visits. Those visiting the website took advantage of travel alerts and other pertinent reports. I believe having this site as a central hub for information was positive and a key component in reaching large audiences of people (Arguin, 2004). Other methods of communication were the media, i.e. radio, TV, social media, print, and health related documents, such as pamphlets, hospital flyers, and other educational materials. It is of the utmost importance that all materials are in different languages and that terminology is universal, so that nothing is lost in the translation. Health and Ris...

I saw someone I know spread out on the street; prolly high on drugs and / or alcohol. Where are the ambassadors? That's how you know their main job is just to keep homeless away from the downtown area for trade and commerce; has nothing to do with "altruism". Some of the reasons for homelessness: Rent increase Job layoff Chronic illness Domestic violence Relationship ending College related [loss of work study, roommate, financial aid, scholarship] Alcohol Drugs LGBTQ+  [can't find work, parents kick you out of house] Mental illness Age out of the foster system Cost of living Racism [Blacks and Hispanics overrepresented statistically] Multiple incarcerations Lose voucher or funding with group housing By choice [saving for a big purchase, tryna get out of debt] Looking at this list, be aware that these categories can overlap, thus exacerbating the situation.  Back to my example: Homeless Multiple incarcerations, frequency increasing Estranged from family History of ment...
