Hunter Douglas Blinds vs. Levolor – A Brand Battle Royale

So why aren't they stronger brands? The company I work for recently conducted some focus groups to determine brand awareness of our website and company as well as the brands that we carry.

My Love/Hate Relationship with Iceland
I was originally going to title this article, "Why I like Iceland" But the truth is that title doesn't express my true feelings about this country. The truth is far more complex. There's a great line in one of my favorite movies, "Lawrence of Arabia," where Lawrence is speaking to Auda, the leader of the Howeitat, who is very effectively convincing him to join him in his battle against the Turks something he didn't...

Not the least of which is their dominance in the area of renewable or green energy utilization for energy production. In the area of renewable energy, Iceland is one of the world leaders. Currently, renewable or green energy sources provide 72% of the country's electricity needs. And, Iceland is one of the few... (posted by David 4 years 9 days ago.)
