VW Diesel generator powers Area 62 DTES Street Market

November 16, 2015 Leave a comment

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

Tobacco hornworms in Vancouver pet store

November 13, 2015 Leave a comment

Manduca sexta is a moth of the family Sphingidae present through much of the American continent. Commonly known as the Carolina sphinx moth (as adults) and the tobacco hornworm and the goliath worm (as larvae), it is closely related to and often confused with the very similar tomato hornworm (Manduca quinquemaculata); the larvae of both feed on the foliage of various plants of the family Solanaceae. 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
