Il progetto Books4You nasce dalla passione per la lettura e per la
letteratura in genere dei suoi fondatori. E' il primo Social Talent
Letterario abbinato ad un Social Network tematico e diretto a tutti
coloro che amano scrivere, raccontare e che non hanno mai avuto la
possibilità di veder pubblicare una loro opera. Books4You è uno
strumento web con l'intento di permettere a scrittori non
professionisti di pubblicare le proprie opere, partecipare ad eventuali
concorsi e mettersi in gioco sondando l'indice di gradimento che il
pubblico esprime nei loro confronti. Nel portale Books4You sarà
disponibile una biblioteca virtuale e del tutto gratuita che conterrà
tutte le opere di questi autori. L'intento è di dare visibilità alle
opere e promuoverne la lettura augurandoci che tale fucina possa essere
un trampolino di lancio verso il successo. Vai su

More than half of America’s boomer caregivers, ages 40 to 60, need support and help, according to a new survey conducted by AARP and the Ad Council. The survey coincides with the launch of a new multimedia public service advertising (PSA) campaign created to provide information and support to the more than 42 million unpaid caregivers nationwide, many of whom feel isolated and alone in caring for their loved ones. The new Caregiver Assistance PSAs, created pro bono by ad agency Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP), illustrate the physical, emotional and mental strain on caregivers, communicating that there is help and “together we can be stronger.”

Drivers of vehicles with good small overlap front ratings from the Insurance Institute from Highway Safety can expect to be protected well in a frontal crash involving the left corner of the vehicle. But how would the passengers sitting next to them fare in a right-side small overlap crash? A new study shows that good protection doesn’t always extend across the front seat.
The Institute conducted 40 mph passenger-side small overlap tests on seven small SUVs with good driver-side small overlap ratings. Only one of the vehicles, the 2016 Hyundai Tucson, performed at a level corresponding to a good rating, and the others ran the gamut from poor to acceptable.
The results have prompted IIHS to consider instituting a passenger-side rating as part of its TOP SAFETY PICK criteria.
