Keep The Holiday Cheer Alive With Oilinator Universal Spill Kits

Dear Friends,

The holidays are upon us once again and we at Monarch Green wish you and your family a safe and joyous holiday season. We have had an especially great year, as we’ve added some exciting new products specially designed to keep households, workplaces, and communities around the world safe from the negative impacts of oily and watery spills and messes that harm the environment and are costly if left unattended or cleaned up incorrectly.

One never knows when an emergency spill is going to occur.  We do, however, know it is not a matter of “if”, but “when”! There are plenty of big disasters we all hear about, such as those that contaminate oceans and waterways with thousands-of-gallons of harmful chemicals. However, it’s equally important to note that plenty of other spill emergencies take place much closer to home every day! Whether it’s in your home or your workplace, it makes good sense to be prepared for an emergency.Some may not believe it is logical to have a large-scale emergency cleanup kit in their home or office. However, in many cases it could be very beneficial to have a 5-gallon spill cleanup within close reach.

Here are some of the reasons why an affordable and always ready to use Heavy Duty UNIVERSAL 5-gallon capacity oily and watery spill kit is ideal for keeping your home and workplace safe this holiday season.

Monarch Green’s Spill Cleanup Kits Are Affordable, Easy To Use, And Very Effective

5-gallon capacity Monarch Green Spill Kits, considerably smaller than a typical briefcase, are incredibly effective when it comes to quickly and efficiently cleaning up small to medium sized spills. Whether it’s gasoline, diesel, oil, paint, radiator coolant, household cleaning materials, solvents, or any other watery or oil mess,  a 5-gallon capacity spill kit will help you protect you, your family, and co-workers safe in the process.  Monarch Green’s fast acting absorbent products will make it easy!

Monarch Green’s Spill Cleanup Kits Are Cost-Efficient, Easy To Store, And Certainly Worth The Modest Investment.

It may be unlikely that you think about being prepared with an emergency spill kit on a daily basis. In fact, it’s more likely that it’s something that will only come up when you actually need it—and in many cases it may be too late unless you plan ahead. Following the old adage “It’s Better To Be Safe Than Sorry” may save you lots of money and grief. Monarch Green Spill Kits can be stored indefinitely for immediate use when those spills happen.

From all of us at Monarch Green, we would like to wish you a safe and happy holiday season.

Scary Halloween Bug & Pest Stories

Halloween is a great time for scaring people with all forms of creepy, crawly critters. We love to hang fake bats from the chandeliers, and put giant inflatable spiders on the front lawn to scare trick-or-treaters. But, if your home or business has a problem with real bats, spiders, or ants it’s time to call the home pest control experts at Brezden.

Our local pest control company has been protecting homes and businesses in San Luis Obispo from pests since 1980. Before it gets too scary, give us a call and we’ll conduct a pest inspection and provide a free estimate for our state-of-the-art pest control services.

This is also the time of year when we start to think about getting our homes ready for winter. Ask us about Thermal Acoustic Pest Control or T•A•P insulation from Pest Control Insulation Systems. This blown-in, eco-friendly cellulose insulation will keep bugs out and warm air in.

Don’t get scared by real pests this Halloween. Call Brezden today for ant control, bird control, and rodent control services and we’ll be there faster can you can say “pestbusters!”

Have a Happy Halloween!

John & Maria Brezden

Scary Halloween Bug & Pest Stories

While we are very serious about our home and commercial pest control services, we like to have a little Halloween fun, too. In the spirit of Halloween, here are some of the scariest bug stories we could find:

Termite Queens: ScienceChannel.com says that termite queens will lay up to 30,000 eggs a day, and live for many years. Don’t let her move into your house. Call Brezden for termite treatment now!

Ants Don’t Sleep: And neither will you if you have an ant infestation in your home. Our ant control services can help make sure the humans in your house can at least sleep well.

“The Birds”: The terrifying movie classic found its inspiration when Alfred Hitchcock remembered a newspaper article he read in 1961 about hordes of dead birds washing up onto the streets in the quaint, seaside California town of Capitola. Birds can easily become a nuisance if their numbers grow too large, or if they start nesting in your house, roof, or eaves. For bird control at Brezden we use bird netting to deter nesting birds, and sensitive traps to capture pigeons.

Bedbugs: An adult bedbug can survive up to one year without feeding, but they will move distances at night for a blood meal which is why infestations occur in beds commonly. Merely washing bed linens or other infested areas might not eliminate the source. Professional bed bug control services determine the places where bed bugs are living and eradicate them right at the source.

Rats: No matter how airtight you might think your home is, rats can always find a way to get in. They can get in through any type of vent, move small barriers that are blocking their path, squeeze through tiny holes, or swim through the water pipes. Our rat control services can help protect your home from these pesky creatures.

Bats: Inspiring many vampire movies, bats have an insatiable hunger. Their sharp teeth shred the food they find into tiny digestible pieces. On a good night, they can consume about 50% of their body weight – imagine a hundred pound person trying to eat fifty pounds a day! They forage for fruit, insects, and sometimes blood. At Brezden Pest Control, our bat control experience has shown that the best way to keep bats out of your house is to put up netting to prevent re-entry.

Halloween Pest Q & A with Your San Luis Obispo Pest Control Experts

Don’t get spooked 

by bugs, pests and rodents this Halloween. Here are answers to your most common pest questions from our home pest control professionals:

Do bats carry rabies? The good news is that only 5% of bats are likely to carry rabies. The bad news is that, unless the offending bat is caught after the bite, painful treatment for rabies can’t be avoided. Bats with rabies have been known to bite humans as well as household pets. Our bat control services can help keep everyone safe.

Can bed bugs spread disease? Bed bugs impact residents of San Luis Obispo and communities in and around the Central Coast of California. Bed bugs suck the blood from humans and animals, usually while they are asleep. While bed bugs do not actually spread disease, their parasitic habits are uncomfortable yet avoidable with proper bed bug control.

What should I do about a dead animal on my property? It is usually best not to touch or move the dead animal yourself, as it may be infected with some type of disease. Call Brezden for all your dead animal removal needs.

Monarch Green, Inc.® Launches New Website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – October 28th, 2014, Newport Beach CA: Monarch Green, Inc.® is an environmentally friendly organization which provides products that quickly absorb spills. The company recently launched a new website which makes it easier for site visitors to find information they need on the fastest and safest ways to clean up oil and other spills.

The “Home” page presents an introduction to the maker of high-capacity absorbent products, along with an overview of the innovative, patented products Monarch Green provides. Visitors can quickly gain information on why Monarch Green’sproducts are better. An “About Us” page explains that Monarch Green repurposes industrial products into distinctive, renewed uses.

An easy-to-read “Features & Benefits” page provides visitors with essential product information, lists industries that can benefit from these products, and outlines application methods for the Oilinator®, IncrediSorb® and Protector™ products. A “Videos” page allows prospective users to see products such as the spill kits, sorbent mats, bilge boom sock, and drum topper in action.

“We don’t think spills should be made worse through the clean-up process,” commented Monarch Green’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder, Thomas R. Rossi. “We offer a complete line of environmentally friendly products that clean up spills without incurring additional damage to the environment. This website is a crucial information source for those who may not be aware this option is possible.”

Monarch Green’s product line started with Spillinex™, a 100% recycled product later re-formulated with second generation improvements and re-named Incredisorb®, with the unique ability to contain and adsorb a wide variety of spilled liquids to the maximum, most efficient available, saturation capabilities. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized Spillinex™ as an environmentally safe sorbent for use during the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill. For use on water and land, each pound will adsorb one gallon and more of oil, petrochemicals and hydrocarbons, and will not sink even after saturation.

Specialized Oilinator® products contain the IncrediSorb® compound using a unique, equally oleophilic (oil attracting) and hydrophobic (water rejecting), fabric. This creates a wicking process that ensures petroleum related substances are absorbed to the maximum saturation point. Oilinator® products include a Power Mat, Super Sorbent Mat, bilge boom socks, flexible boom and drum topper, which work on hard surfaces or water.

Eric Edson Highlights 5 Romantic Comedy Screenwriters

“Before launching into your next romantic screenwriting project, learn a few tips from the masters of the genre…”

Through his book The Story Solution and his online screenwriting blogs, Eric Edson recommends studying the scripts and professional growth of screenwriters who have already achieved box office success.  By learning about the career journeys of those who have already sold screenplays, today’s up-and-coming authors can better prepare themselves to earn tomorrow’s screen credits.

To help writers gain an understanding of screenwriting development in the romance and romantic comedy movie genres, Eric Edson has reviewed here the experiences of several romantic movie screenwriters.  The selections were based on movie box office success, novelty of approach, and how each script was turned into a winner.  Studying the journeys of these romantic movie screenwriters can serve as a foundation of knowledge for what to expect when developing other movie genres as well.

After much consideration, Eric Edson recommends the following romantic movie screenwriters as exemplars of effective screenwriting techniques: Mark Andrus & James L. Brooks, Nancy Meyers, Kevin Wade, Marc Lawrence, Katie Ford & Caryn Lucas and Pete Chiarelli.  If you are seeking knowledge that will help you sell a screenplay, consider studying these romantic movie screenwriters and their work.

Mark Andrus & James L. Brooks – “As Good As It Gets” – Romantic Movie Screenwriters

Take Jack Nicholson as an obsessive-compulsive novelist, Helen Hunt as the waitress mother of an asthmatic son, and Greg Kinnear as a gay-bashed artist, add superb screenwriting sensitivity, and you’ve got the recipe for box office and Academy Award success in 1997’s “As Good As It Gets.” Mark Andrus had his MBA when he took a creative writing class while waiting to hear from law schools. His then enrolled in a Master of Professional Writing Program. Early in his career, Andrus wrote “Old Friends,” a screenplay about the vilest man in New York City and his gay neighbor. After a lot of meetings the project fell into limbo until James L. Brooks became involved and the two collaborated on a rewrite that turned into box office gold.  LESSON: The one personal quality that all successful screenwriters share is relentlessness.  Never stop.  And never stop rewriting.

Nancy Meyers – “It’s Complicated” – Romantic Movie Screenwriter

What could be more complicated than a divorced Meryl Streep and a since-remarried Alec Baldwin reigniting the spark at their son’s graduation? How about adding Steve Martin as the dependable but non earth-shaker as her new love interest? Screenwriter Nancy Meyers makes it all seem quite easy to understand in “It’s Complicated.” After an early interest in acting, Meyers decided to pursue screenwriting after she saw “The Graduate.” She graduated from American University in Washington, D.C. with a degree in journalism and spent a year working in public television. After moving to Hollywood, she took film-making classes where she connected with directors such as Martin Scorsese. Elements of her own life crept into this film such as a brief stint as the owner of a small cheesecake business and components of her own divorce story.  LESSON: Mine your own life experiences for story elements, yes, but don’t write an autobiography.  Our real lives are mostly boring.  Write the unusual in terms of what you know.

Kevin Wade – “Working Girl” – Romantic Movie Screenwriter

Remember Harrison Ford before Indiana Jones? He was almost outshone by Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver in Kevin Wade’s 1988 debut as a screenwriter with “Working Girl.” The film features a notable opening sequence following Manhattan-bound commuters on the Staten Island Ferry accompanied by Carly Simon’s song “Let the River Run.” Wade says the idea for the script came to him in Manhattan’s Battery Park one morning in 1984 as he wondered about today’s immigrant story. He decided to represent his heroine as “an immigrant every day.” To make sure his script sounded realistic, Wade spent months interviewing Wall Street workers.  LESSON:  Keep your story accessible to the widest possible audience, and keep it feeling real through careful research.

Marc Lawrence, Katie Ford & Caryn Lucas – “Miss Congeniality” - Romantic Movie Screenwriters

To help Sandra Bullock combine her onscreen charm and lovable physicality, this trio of writers penned 2000’s “Miss Congeniality.” Lawrence graduated from Binghamton University with a degree in English and later worked on NBC’s Family Ties. Ford had started as a stand-up comedian before she went on to write and produce some television series and films. Lucas gained writing credits working on “The Nanny” before combining her skills with Lawrence and Ford for the perfect movie script.  LESSON:  Be open to working closely with other writers.  Don’t let any over-sized ego or defensiveness about working with others stop your pursuit of the best possible script.

Pete Chiarelli – “The Proposal” – Romantic Movie Screenwriters

Peter Chiarelli came out of the University of Washington with a BA in Communications and Economics.  2009’s “The Proposal” was only the second screenplay he’d ever written, but he wanted it judged on its own merits.  He originally put the name “Jennifer Kirby” on the front page.  Eventually the truth came out, and the picture has grossed more than $314 million worldwide since then.  LESSON:  Sometimes a selling ploy, like the use of a pseudonym, can keep buyer focus where you want it most – on the work itself.  

Eric Edson’s commitment to excellence includes providing aspiring screenwriters with a professional’s knowledge of the screenwriting industry.  We hope this information helps you learn about the screenwriting process. 

About The Story Solution Book: The Story Solution was written by accomplished screenwriter Eric Edson.  It reveals the 23 actions used in all successful movies to create dynamic, three dimensional heroes and link all parts of a captivating screenplay.  Eric also offers screenwriting tips, screenwriting resources, and screenplay reading recommendations.

CNN: Apple manufacturer to replace some of workforce with robots

(Mashable) -- Foxconn, a company that manufacturers parts used in
Apple's iPhone and iPad, said it aims to replace workers with 1
million robots in the next three years, Xinhuanet reports.

The robots will be assigned simple tasks currently done by human
workers, such as welding and assembling parts. Foxconn currently has
10,000 robots; in the next year, this number should jump to 300,000
and up to one million in the next three years.

With the move, the company aims to cut labor expenses and improve
efficiency, Foxconn CEO Terry Gou said at a workers' dance party on
Friday.

Foxconn has a massive operation in China with about 1 million workers.
The company caught the headlines after a string of suicides which
prompted HP, Apple, Sony and other companies to launch an
investigation into Foxconn's business practices.

More recently, an explosion in Foxconn's Chengdu plant in China left
two people dead and 16 injured.
