VW Diesel generator powers Area 62 DTES Street Market
The power went out at Area 62 – 62 East Hastings last night. All our power comes from a single 15 Amp plug, and a circuit breaker inside a building where we have no access tripped and killed the plug. This will cost us hundreds of dollars in ruined frozen ice cream, and will render our office useless. We will also be unable to brew coffee on Monday for any visitors during the week at our Area 62 DTES Street Market.
UPDATE Our VW Diesel generator is now powering Area 62 DTES Street Market

The tobacco hornworm is sometimes kept as a pet by children throughout its range.
M. sexta is a common model organism, especially in neurobiology, due to its easily accessible nervous system and short life cycle. It is used in a variety of biomedical and biological scientific experiments. It can be easily raised on a wheat-germ-based diet. The larva is large, and thus it is relatively easy to dissect it and isolate its organs
