High winds and rain stop painted apple moth
spraying again
For the seventh day running, the
Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has called off targeted
aerial spraying against the painted apple moth in west
Auckland. Forecasted high winds and rain mean there will not
be spraying on Sunday, 18 August.
A decision will be
made tomorrow as to whether spraying is foreseeable for
Monday, 19 August. Spraying will start as soon as weather
conditions are favourable.
The aerial spray zone covers
some 800 hectares and affects 3,400 residential and business
properties. There are a few minor changes to the spray zone
from last spray. These include extending the area around
Huruhuru Creek in Henderson and Massey West, and near the
railway line in Henderson and the area at the bottom of the
Te Atatu Peninsula.
As in previous sprays the seaward
margins of Te Atatu, Glendene, Kelston, and New Lynn; the
Waikumete Cemetery; parts of the Avondale Peninsula and
Waterview and low lying land alongside the north-western
will also be
sprayed.

Spotify has to be one of the most interestingly futile mouse-wheels of 21st century capitalism. Run, run, run goes the Spotify mouse but it never, ever makes a profit. For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
