Satisfying Shine Debuts Commercial Litter and Debris Pickup Services in Lebanon, OH 12-10-2024 10:52 PM CET | Politics, Law & Society Press release from: ABNewswire Lebanon OH - Satisfying Shine, [ https://www.satisfyingshine.com/ ] a locally owned and operated exterior cleaning business, is introducing a new commercial litter and debris pickup service [ https://www.satisfyingshine.com/commercial-litter-and-debris-pickup/ ] to assist the needs of property owners in Lebanon, OH and other nearby locations. It can prove to be frustrating when garbage collects on a property; with this new service, clients can reach out to Satisfying Shine for the prompt removal of all waste items. This allows property owners to focus on their other responsibilities instead of spending time focusing on garbage disposal. The company provides more information below. Construction Debris Pickup For Builders and Renovators A construction, renovation, or remodeling project can result in many different byproducts. Drywall has to be cut to size, resulting in drywall scraps. Wooden beams are in a similar position. Other forms of construction debris that can accumulate on a job site include bricks, cinder blocks, zip ties, insulation, glass shards, packaging waste, and sawdust. Collecting all this scattered trash can add a considerable amount of time to construction projects, which is why commercial litter and debris pickup can be convenient. Scheduling service with Satisfying Shine allows local contractors to focus on their tasks without having to stop to deal with garbage collection and disposal. Bulk Trash Collection For Business Owners Anyone who owns a business understands the concept of a "truck day". When a shipment arrives, employees go through the process of unpacking all the delivered products. Then, all the boxes, bins, and other examples of packaging waste have to be disposed of. Satisfying Shine alleviates the frustration of a "truck day" with bulk trash collection services. The company is delighted to collect any waste and take it to an appropriate disposal facility. Satisfying Shine is also happy to help with other forms of bulk trash at businesses. For example, the company can remove and dispose of broken appliances, pieces of furniture, expired merchandise, and bagged garbage. General Litter Collection at Commercial Properties An unfortunate part of maintaining a commercial property is the chance of litter being scattered across the area. The more popular the property is with the general public, the more likely these messes are to happen. Perhaps the best examples are the parking lots of supermarkets and shopping centers. Anyone can recall a time when they visited these places only to see abandoned drink containers, plastic bags, and other trash strewn about. The team at Satisfying Shine can pick up and dispose of this waste. This helps improve the property's appearance and makes the space more inviting to customers.

Simple Hacks to Make the Holidays Merrier (and Cheaper)Fiji’s Parliament will debate on the Fiji Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Bill 2024 on Wednesday. Parliament had agreed in September last year to establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to heal the wounds of the past that were inflicted due to the political upheavals and coup-related events in Fiji. A Steering Committee was appointed which carried out a comprehensive consultation exercise and the Bill will now be debated on Wednesday. While moving his motion to debate the Bill Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka said he is hopeful that many Fijians and their families who have suffered gross human rights violations will find healing and closure. “I just draw attention to the essence of this motion, to have this bill processed through Standing Orders 51. And I took a great risk moving this motion today, because I know we have on the government side a minority in the vote.” However, the Opposition Members of Parliament raised concerns that the Bill should not be fast tracked and debated as yet. Jone Usamate argues that more consultations need to be conducted with the ordinary people and the Bill should go through the full parliamentary scrutiny. “We should allow the representatives of the voters, voters of this country, the representatives of certain committees, to have the opportunity to look into the bill itself, to look into the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I believe, ultimately, in my heart, in my mind, that it is absolutely necessary that this bill should go to committee.” Usamate explains that both aspects of this Bill need to be given the same importance “What we tend to do a lot when we talk about Truth and Reconciliation, we focus a lot on reconciliation without the truth. True Reconciliation happens when the truth comes out. Opposition MP Alvick Maharaj also raised concerns saying the Bill should not be expedited. “We should not bypass the system. It was placed in Parliament for the first reading. And this was supposed to be the second reading, and the bill was supposed to go to the committee. Now we are actually amending the procedures using the standing order to convert a normal process into a 51. If this is about truth and reconciliation, what do we actually have to hide? It’s not about me and you. It’s about the general public.” However, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Professor Biman Prasad said the Bill was tabled in parliament two weeks ago and the Opposition MPs had the time to look through it. “I think we should be really grateful that the Prime Minister, under his leadership, has taken the step to do this process of truth and reconciliation in this country. And the term of this Parliament is another two years. It is urgent. It is appropriate. There’s been enough consultation. There’s been enough discussion.” Once the Bill is passed the Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be established. The Commission will consist of five Commissioners appointed by the President, three of whom should be citizens of Fiji, the chair is also to be appointed by the President from among the Commissioners....

Moody's affirms South Africa's Ba2 rating amid economic challenges and political changeouth Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol said on Wednesday he would lift a surprise martial law declaration he had imposed just hours before, backing down in a standoff with parliament which roundly rejected his attempt to ban political activity and censor the media. In South Korea's biggest political crisis in decades, Yoon shocked the nation and declared martial law on Tuesday night to thwart "anti-state forces" among his domestic political opponents. But outraged lawmakers unanimously rejected the decree. Yonhap news agency said the cabinet had agreed early on Wednesday to scrap the martial law. Protesters outside the National Assembly parliament shouted and clapped. “We won!” they chanted, and one demonstrator banged on a drum. The main opposition Democratic Party called for Yoon, who has been in office since 2022, to resign or face impeachment. “Even if martial law is lifted, he cannot avoid treason charges. It was clearly revealed to the entire nation that President Yoon could no longer run the country normally. He should step down," senior DP member of parliament Park Chan-dae said in a statement. "South Korea as a nation dodged a bullet, but President Yoon may have shot himself in the foot," said Danny Russel, vice president of the Asia Society Policy Institute think tank in the United States. The South Korean won currency came off a more than two-year low against the dollar after Yoon's reversal, while exchange traded funds linked to South Korean stocks similarly cut losses. Yoon's surprise declaration of martial law, which he cast as aimed at his political foes, was voted down by 190 lawmakers in parliament. His own party urged him to lift the decree. Under South Korean law, the president must immediately lift martial law if parliament demands it by a majority vote. The crisis in a country that has been a democracy since the 1980s, and is a US ally and major Asian economy, caused international alarm. After Yoon's announcement of martial law in a TV address, South Korea's military had said activities by parliament and political parties would be banned, and that media and publishers would be under the control of the martial law command. Helmeted troops briefly tried to enter the parliament building. Parliamentary aides were seen trying to push the soldiers back by spraying fire extinguishers. The White House said it was pleased Yoon had backed down. “We are relieved President Yoon has reversed course on his concerning declaration of martial law and respected the... National Assembly’s vote to end it," a White House spokesperson said. Earlier, US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said the United States was watching events in South Korea with "grave concern." Some 28,500 US troops are stationed in South Korea to guard against the nuclear-armed North. Yoon did not cite any specific threat from the North, instead focusing on his domestic political opponents. It was the first time since 1980 that martial law has been declared in South Korea. Russel, who was the top US diplomat for East Asia under former President Barack Obama, said South Korea was now looking at the prospect of snap elections. "Political uncertainty and domestic strife in South Korea is not our friend. Political uncertainty and domestic strife in South Korea is North Korea’s friend, however. You can be sure that North Korea is licking its chops," he said. Yoon, a career prosecutor, squeezed out a victory in the tightest presidential election in South Korean history in 2022. He rode a wave of discontent over economic policy, scandals and gender wars, aiming to reshape the political future of Asia's fourth-largest economy. But he has been unpopular, with his support ratings hovering at around 20 percent for months. His People Power Party suffered a landslide defeat at a parliamentary election in April this year, ceding control of the unicameral assembly to opposition parties that captured nearly two-thirds of the seats. There have been more than a dozen instances of martial law being declared since South Korea was established as a republic in 1948. In 1980, a group of military officers led by Chun Doo-hwan forced then-President Choi Kyu-hah to proclaim martial law to crush calls by the opposition, labor and students for the restoration of democratic government.None

The Washington Post ‘s senior politics editor claims the newspaper removed him on Monday, and it remains unknown if he will stay with the publication. In a reported email, Dan Eggen said he was “crushed” by the news, the New York Post reported Thursday. The outlet continued: “I struggled with how to write this message since there is an element of begging to it that is not particularly attractive. But what the hey: I was informed Monday that I will be removed as senior politics editor at the end of the year. I will leave it to others to explain why,” the email said. ... His dismissal as politics editor comes as WaPo scrambles to come to grips with Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The report comes after the Washington Post ‘s editor-at-large Robert Kagan resigned from his job in October once the newspaper said it would not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris (D) in the presidential election that Trump later won, per Breitbart News. Breitbart News reported on October 30 that the Washington Post lost 250,000 subscribers after its decision not to endorse a presidential candidate. The paper’s owner, Jeff Bezos, wrote in an op-ed, “What presidential endorsements actually do is create a perception of bias. A perception of non-independence. Ending them is a principled decision, and it’s the right one.” Bezos, who founded Amazon, later offered Trump a “big congratulations” in a social media post after Trump won reelection. “Big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory,” Bezos wrote. “No nation has bigger opportunities. Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love,” he added. The Breitbart News piece also reported that “Bezos has several large contracts with the U.S. government.” It is interesting to note that the recent New York Post article said Bezos “reportedly wants to hire more conservative opinion writers.”

Two data brokers banned from selling ‘sensitive’ location data by the FTCPanic among spectators at soccer game kills at least 56 in the West African nation of Guinea CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Officials and witnesses say chaos erupted at a soccer game in Guinea after fans protested a referee’s call and thousands of panicked spectators tried to flee the stadium, leaving at least 56 people dead in the West African nation. Local news website Media Guinea reported that security forces used tear gas. A journalist covering the game for a local sports website tells The Associated Press many of the dead were crushed as they tried to escape through the stadium gates. The world’s latest sports crowd disaster unfurled Sunday in the second-largest city in the military-run nation. Information there is sparse and government-controlled at the best of times. It was not immediately clear how much the death toll could grow. Houston's Al-Shaair apologizes for hit on Jacksonville's Lawrence that led to concussion HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s Azeez Al-Shaair took to X to apologize to Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence after his violent blow to the quarterback’s facemask led to him being carted off the field with a concussion. Back in the starting lineup after missing two games with a sprained left shoulder, Lawrence scrambled left on a second-and-7 play in the second quarter of Houston’s 23-20 win on Sunday. He initiated a slide before Al-Shaair raised his forearm and unleashed on the defenseless quarterback. In the long post, Al-Shaair says "To Trevor I genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening.” Mollie Marcoux Samaan stepping down as LPGA commissioner after 3 1/2 years of record prize money Mollie Marcoux Samaan is leaving after more than three years as LPGA commissioner. In a surprise announcement Monday, Marcoux Samaan says she will step down in January, just three weeks before the LPGA starts its 75th season. Liz Moore is the chief legal and technology officer. She'll be serving as interim commissioner until a search committee can find a permanent replacement. Marcoux Samaan was the athletic director at Princeton when she took over the LPGA in May 2021. Prize money has soared during her tenure. She also has faced criticism for the LPGA not gaining in popularity during a rise in women's sports. Jets are sticking with struggling Aaron Rodgers as their starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers will remain the New York Jets’ starting quarterback despite speculation the team could bench him in what has been a disappointing season. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said during a video call that he still believes Rodgers, who turned 41 on Monday, gives the Jets their best chance to win. Rodgers was 21 of 39 for 185 yards and touchdown passes to Davante Adams and Isaiah Davis but also had an interception returned 92 yards for a touchdown by Leonard Williams in the Jets’ 26-21 loss to Seattle on Sunday. College playoff bracket offers last dress rehearsal and one more chance to see where the SEC stands The next set of College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday night under heavy scrutiny before the final bracket is set on Sunday. It will be one last chance to see just how much the selection committee loves the Southeastern Conference. The best gauge will be whether Miami, which suffered its second loss over the weekend, is placed behind any or all three SEC teams with three losses — Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina, all of which are coming off wins. Whatever happens, the SEC is likely to have at least five teams in the 12-team field when the final bracket comes out. Kansas holds off Auburn for No. 1 in AP Top 25 as SEC grabs 3 of top 4 spots; UConn slides to No. 25 Kansas continues to hold the No. 1 ranking in The Associated Press Top 25 men’s college basketball poll. Auburn is pushing the Jayhawks in the latest poll after winning the Maui Invitational and checked in at No. 2. Two-time reigning national champion UConn nearly fell out entirely after an 0-3 week at Maui, falling from No. 2 to 25th. The Southeastern Conference had three of the top four teams with No. 3 Tennessee and No. 4 Kentucky behind the Tigers. The poll featured six new teams, headlined by No. 13 Oregon, No. 16 Memphis and No. 18 Pittsburgh. Ryan Poles to remain Bears general manager and lead search for new head coach LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears president Kevin Warren said Ryan Poles will remain the general manager and serves as the point person in the search for a head coach to replace the fired Matt Eberflus. He says Poles will have the “final say” if the two have differing opinions on who should get the job. Chicago had never fired a coach during a season. But a six-game losing streak marked by questionable coaching decisions spurred the founding NFL franchise to change course. The Bears let Eberflus go Friday and replaced him on an interim basis with offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. TCU, Duke climb into top 10, Notre Dame drops in women's AP Top 25; UCLA and UConn remain 1-2 TCU has its best ranking ever in The Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll after a convincing win over Notre Dame. The Horned Frogs jumped eight spots to No. 9, the first time the school has ever been in the top 10. The Fighting Irish, who were third last week, fell seven spots to 10th after losses to TCU and Utah. UCLA remained No. 1, followed by UConn, South Carolina, Texas and LSU. USC, Maryland and Duke are next. Michael Andretti's Formula 1 dream comes to bittersweet fruition without his involvement Michael Andretti has been sidelined from his namesake motorsports organization and won’t have any role with the Formula 1 program he spent the last four years desperately trying to launch. His effort to get a program partnered with General Motors into F1 was approved last week, a month after he stepped aside from his teams. F1’s decision to expand its grid for Cadillac F1 came amidst a federal antitrust investigation into why Liberty Media refused to admit Andretti Global and after Andretti partners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter claimed controlling interest of the fledgling effort. Guardiola hits 'reset' with Man City floundering in the Premier League The season starts now for Pep Guardiola. The Manchester City manager saw his team extend its remarkable winless run to seven matches and drop 11 points off the pace in the Premier League by losing 2-0 to Liverpool on Sunday. But that is all in the past for Guardiola. He says “Reset. There’s a feeling we start from here this season.” How he intends to move on from the worst run of results in his managerial career remains to be seen. It all starts Wednesday with a home game against Nottingham Forest. The midweek round of games also sees Liverpool travel to Newcastle and Arsenal host Manchester United.

As lawmakers in Concord prepare to elect a speaker of the House on Wednesday, a Republican challenger to GOP Speaker Sherman Packard is emerging. State Rep. Kim Rice is back in the House after a one-term hiatus, and it's possible she could take the gavel with a bipartisan coalition. When contacted by News 9, Rice declined to comment on challenging Packard, a fellow Republican and the incumbent speaker. If Rice is going to pull off an upset, she will need help from Democrats. >> Download the free WMUR app to get updates on the go: Apple | Google Play
