"Firms of Endearment: How World-Class Companies Profit from Passion and Purpose" by Jagdish N. Sheth, Rajendra S. Sisodia, David B. Wolfe, priced at $39.99 is available for free for a limited time in Amazon. It is good business book to read.
"Today’s best companies get it. From Costco® to Commerce Bank, Wegmans to Whole Foods®: they’re becoming the ultimate value creators. They’re generating every form of value that matters: emotional, experiential, social, and financial. And they’re doing it for all their stakeholders. Not because it’s “politically correct”: because it’s the only path to long-term competitive advantage.
These are the Firms of Endearment. Companies people love doing business with. Love partnering with. Love working for. Love investing in. Companies for whom “loyalty” isn’t just real: it’s palpable, and driving unbeatable advantages in everything from marketing to recruitment.
You need to become one of those companies. This book will show you how. You’ll find specific, practical guidance on transforming every relationship you have: with customers, associates, partners, investors, and society. If you want to be great—truly great—this is your blueprint.
We’re entering an Age of Transcendence, as people increasingly search for higher meaning in their lives, not just more possessions. This is transforming the marketplace, the workplace, the very soul of capitalism. Increasingly, today’s most successful companies are bringing love, joy, authenticity, empathy, and soulfulness into their businesses: they are delivering emotional, experiential, and social value–not just profits.
Firms of Endearment illuminates this, the most fundamental transformation in capitalism since Adam Smith. It’s not about “corporate social responsibility”: it’s about building companies that can sustain success in a radically new era. It’s about great companies like IDEO and IKEA®, Commerce Bank and Costco®, Wegmans and Whole Foods®: how they earn the powerful loyalty and affection that enables truly breathtaking performance.
This book is about gaining “share of heart,” not just share of wallet. It’s about aligning stakeholders’ interests, not just juggling them. It’s about building companies that leave the world a better place. Most of all, it’s about why you must do all this, or risk being left in the dust... and how to get there from wherever you are now."

I received this error today when I visited Feedly Reader, I found the following solution after going through several websites and comments.
First, download the Feedly extension from Softpedia (use "Save as" option), Chrome doesn't allow installation from other sites. After you download the Feedly .crx extension (Feedly_14_0_484.crx), drag and drop the extension directly to your Chrome extensions page chrome://extensions/
Then, Feedly should work fine.
If you're in a rush (or want to call USPS during non-business working hours) calling the 1-800 number for USPS (1-800-ASK-USPS), visit online and enter the package information details here:
https://redelivery.usps.com/redelivery/
and enter the details from the peach-colored slip that was left in your door or mail box, in all the four sections:
1.) What's your delivery address?
2.) What is the article number?
3.) When did we try delivering it?
4.) When do you want to get your items?
After you fill the second section, it will give a false message and ask you to go to https://redelivery.usps.com/redelivery/, when you're already there. Just ignore the message and fill the rest of the sections.
However, USPS may not be able to redeliver all the missed packages, in those cases you need to go the nearest shipping center (not the nearest post office). To find the nearest shipping center, either call 1-800-ASK-USPS or go to link and choose "Pickup Services" option: https://tools.usps.com/go/POLocatorAction.action

If you like "Ides of March" movie, then you will love this series. I'm glad it was on Netflix and didn't appear on regular TV channels, otherwise they would have distorted the story. Kevin Spacey and others have done a remarkable job.
Plus it is an entire series, we can watch it without long months of delays. This show is based on a BBC series.
It is available in Netflix: http://goo.gl/osHja
House of Cards (UK version): http://goo.gl/ypYZl
House of Cards (Album): http://goo.gl/a0E9g
If you like political shows, also watch Borgen (Denmark) one of the best series in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borgen_(TV_series)
I don't really like political shows, we all know how despicable the politicians are except for a few, but the above two are worth watching.
Here is the House of Cards Trailer:

| Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Lid Lifter |
Main advantages are:
a) it is easier to clean,
b) doesn't come in contact with the food,
c) there are no sharp edges, so it is safer to use,
d) durable design,
e) prices ($14 to $16) are comparable to other can openers.
Initially, you will find it awkward cutting the cans this way but you will see after a few repetitions it does a great job.
There is another can opener from the same Swiss company, Kuhn Rikon Auto Safety Master Opener, which does more than opening the cans, it can open the bottles and other food containers as shown in the video below.

If you're looking for an YouTube alternative and want to share videos with others, you can use Easyvideoembeds.com. After you add a video (.mp4 or .ogg format), it gives a simple code which you can then embed in your site.
How it works:
1. Upload a video file that you want to embed (.ogg or .mp4 format)
2. EasyVideoEmbeds gives you code to embed the uploaded video on your website
It is simple, but if you want to delete or edit the title and contents of the video, then YouTube is a much better choice. Also, there doesn't seem to be a delete feature if you want to delete the video later, maybe the new site will add this feature and others.

If you're in Facebook here is her full letter, if not in Facebook you can read below via Daily Kos: http://goo.gl/lufUF
This page is dedication to my wonderful Daughter who was smart, beautiful, and full of life with a deep compassion to animals. The Person Rehtaeh once was all changed one dreaded night in November 2011. She went with a friend to another’s home. In that home she was raped by four young boys…one of those boys took a photo of her being raped and decided it would be fun to distribute the photo to everyone in Rehtaeh’s school and community where it quickly went viral. Because the boys already had a “slut” story, the victim of the rape Rehtaeh was considered a SLUT. This day changed the lives of our family forever. I stopped working that very day and we have all been on this journey of emotional turmoil ever since.
Rehtaeh was suddenly shunned by almost everyone she knew, the harassment was so bad she had to move out of her own community to try to start anew in Halifax. She struggled emotionally with depression and anger .Her thoughts of suicide began and fearing for her life, she placed herself in a hospital in an attempt to get help. She stayed there for almost 6weeks. The bullying continued, her friends were not supportive. She needed a friend and eventually along the way a few new friends came along and a few old friends came forward.
Rae then moved back to Dartmouth, always with the concern of what will be said about her, said to her. Again, she was the one raped…she was the victim being victimized over and over again. One year later the police conclude their investigation to state that it comes down to “he said, she said” they believed the boys raped her but the proof in a court of law was difficult to gather. The photo sent…”well Leah, that’s a community issue!” The bullying never stopped but she learned to keep her head high and surrounded herself with the ones who truly cared. I will have eternal gratitude for her friends Jenna, Dawid and Mike for the past few months. They are the ones she leaned on for strength and courage.
Just two weeks ago she stopped smoking pot, started looking for work and with the help of one of her teachers and a new therapist she was making progress. When the calming effects of the pot subsided, her feelings of anger began to re-surface and she was struggling. I will say that she has told me many times that “Mom, although I often feel like killing myself…I could never do that to you because you would be devastated.”
This past week she was having lots of mood swings and her boyfriend Mike and Jenna wore the brunt of it but Thursday April 4th she had a great day, made plans for the weekend etc. Later that evening she had an outburst, acted on that impulse and locked herself in the bathroom. And to stop any rumours from spreading…. She acted on an impulse but I truly in my heart of heart do not feel she meant to kill herself. By the time I broke into the bathroom it was too late. My beautiful girl had hung herself and was rushed to the hospital where she remained on life support until last night.
This page is to celebrate the Rehtaeh we knew and loved. One of Rae’s pet peeves was that when someone passed away, suddenly they were liked and people cared. She wouldn’t want people who bullied her, talked about her, put negative statuses about her over the past year, and sent awful messages to be on this page. I know who you are because everyone message was a pain we shared together, there was not much that she didn’t tell me or show me. People were so very cruel to her so if you were one that felt it ok to bully someone in so much pain –STAY AWAY. Rehtaeh is gone today because of The four boys that thought that raping a 15yr old girl was OK and to distribute a photo to ruin her spirit and reputation would be fun. Secondly, All the bullying and messaging and harassment that never let up are also to blame. Lastly, the justice system failed her. Those are the people that took the life of my beautiful girl. Rehtaeh stood up for others, showed compassion to animals and people. She was an amazing artist .She made my life complete. When Rehtaeh was born I dedicated everything to her and promised her the world. Others in this world took that away from her.
