Apple is offering rare iPhone discounts in China [url=https://meg555net7.com]m3ga.at[/url] Apple is offering temporary discounts on its iPhones and other products in China, in an extremely rare move for Apple that comes as competition within Asia’s smartphone market grows more intense. https://mega555m3ga.com m3ga.gl As part of a sale pegged to the Lunar New Year event, Apple’s official Chinese website is listing discounts of up to 500 RMB ($70) on the latest iPhone lineup. Other flagship Apple products, including the Mac and iPad, are also going to be discounted up to 800 RMB ($112) and 400 RMB ($56), respectively, as part of the promotion, which runs from January 18 through January 21. Although third-party sellers at times discount Apple products, Apple itself very rarely offers deals or sales, part of its effort to maintain a premium brand image – something that has been particularly important as Apple seeks to attract high-end buyers in China. https://mega555darknetX.com m3ga.at The move to slash prices on the iPhone comes just over five months after Chinese tech giant Huawei released its latest smartphone, the Mate 60 Pro. The Huawei smartphone has been eagerly embraced by Chinese consumers – so much that its use of an advanced chip has come under scrutiny from US officials. Around the same time that Huawei’s marquis smartphone was released, the Wall Street Journal reported that China had banned the use of iPhones by central government officials, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. A Chinese government spokesperson, however, later denied that China had issued any laws or rules to ban the use of iPhones. -

Comments on TimberWest's logging plan for TFL 47
TimberWest's response is here. The DIFCP's reply to that response is here. TimberWest ended the dialogue at one response, as usual. DIFCP is putting together a complaint to the Forest Practices Board about TimberWest's proposed forest stewardship plan for the Johnstone Strait blocks of TFL 47 and the rate of logging that has occurred there. -

Most of BC's 2023 wildfires burned in a small area of BC subject to intense industrial development, but nobody is talking about that. Why not?
This whole thing is making me sick to my stomach. Why aren't people outraged, indeed. -

Tree planters are misinformed about the impact of what they are doing
As a 21-year veteran BC treeplanter who has planted more than a million trees in BC, and who supervised the planting of ten million more, I think you do treeplanters a disservice by implying that they're too stupid to understand the scale of the voracious industrial devastation they are crawling through, or how treeplanting is used as propaganda by the logging industry to justify what they do. All the treeplanters I know are keenly aware of this, and many of them become informed, conscientious forest protection activists as a result of their experience. Nobody quite sees the true state of BC's forest destruction quite like treeplanters do. It is regretable that you also describe treeplanters in PG as "sticking out like a sore thumb." Treeplanters, who bring millions of dollars into the PG economy every year are routinely abused there, -for example, when the the spring season was delayed by a late snowfall and treeplanters were stuck in town, former Mayor Colin Kingsley advocated "throwing all these hippy layabouts out." Since then, I have never spent a single dollar in Prince George. -

The NDP’s recent revamping of forest legislation returns stewardship of BC forests to the government and provides powerful new tools for the public to make a difference
Awesome work, as ever David! So grateful you're hard at it! As I write, the helicopter is taking timbercruisers past our community here on Denny Island, -off into the heart of the so-called "Great Bear Rainforest," where the bloodshot relentless eye of voracious Big Logging has now turned.. -

Are recent mill closures a result of too much logging? Or a consequence of Mountain Pine Beetle infestations 1999-2010
What about all the perfectly healthy Doug fir, sub alpine fir and spruce that was indiscriminately harvested along with the dead pine as well as all the advanced regeneration and understory that was trashed by the clearcut logging of species diverse stands all in the name of mountain pine beetle?
