 Community Counselor. We were all thrilled to be with her.
My present au pair, Charlie, was so excited to have her “home.” The two blonds tooled around Wichita and made appointments at their favorite hair salon.
Kim expressly wanted my friend Vicki to come to lunch. Vicki loved meeting Kim during her year in Wichita, in fact all my friends did.
Jean Ann, another pal, got us front row tickets to a play she was directing, but it was Vicki who made sure Kim got to have box seats to her two favorite sports: Basketball and Baseball (and what a winning season the Wichita State Shocker basketball team had last year!). Vicki even hosted a goodbye lunch for Kim, so it was old home week if only for that one wonderful lunch together.
For her last night with her host family before she jetted off back home to Frankfurt, Kim requested to have a “sleep over” with six year old Allie, just the two of them, with popcorn and music and games, until Allie fell asleep.
Mika and Klay, Allie and Luke’s mother and father, did a great job last year of transitioning their children from Kim to Charlie, their new au pair from South Africa who arrived two days after Kim left and who has been just as much a precious child care provider and part of the family as Kim. Oh, the two young women have different personalities, but they are both loved, cherished and embraced by the whole family.
Kim is now working for a travel agency, and Charlie is packing, getting ready for her long trip back home. Charlie has mixed emotions about going back. She is eager to see her parents and siblings, but she’s fallen in love with America. Charlie has been in the States two years with two different families. She is one of the kindest, humblest young women I’ve met. I will miss her terribly. But then a new au pair, also from South Africa, arrives even before Charlie leaves. New adventures on the way.
While it’s time to say adieu, we who work with the EurAupair organization, never say goodbye. Because you never know when we’ll have the great privilege of seeing our au pairs again.Email marketing optimization is an exercise in understanding your audience and leveraging the data you can collect on them. Most email software provides you with metrics like open rate and click-through rate, but with some advanced tools, your analysis can go much deeper and provide you with data that can be even more helpful.
We recently took a look at the timing aspect of our own email sends. Primarily, we wanted to know how many days are needed to see the full effect of a campaign. The email we sent contained a call-to-action to download one of our newest ebooks. So the question for this campaign was, how long did it take for this specific email to generate landing page conversions? Through the tracking tools available in HubSpot and Performable, we were able to track campaign performance at a granular level.
70% of conversions took place within the first day.
82% of conversions took place by the 2nd day.
92% of conversions took place by the 5th day (in this case, a Monday).
69% of conversions took place within the 1st day.
91% of conversions took place by the 5th day (which this time, was on a Saturday).
Based on our two tests, the majority of conversions (about 70%) from our email sends occur within the very first day of the send, and there wasn't a major difference in the data between a Tuesday and a Thursday send.
However, depending on your own audience and content, you will likely see different trends in your data. If you can access such information about your own campaigns, it might help you plan your campaigns accordingly and make smarter marketing decisions based on concrete data. While our data didn't vary substantially, yours might!

HomeVideo GamesBethesda Softworks Announces Tango Gameworks New Project!
Yesterday Bethesda Softworks announced that Tango Gameworks is working on their latest project, a survival horror game under the codename: Zwei.
Tango Gameworks has come on board with survival horror master and director, Shinji Mikami. Who is recognized for my personal favorite survival horror game series: Resident Evil.
Mikami and his team at Tango Gameworks are committed to making a game that will harbor the realization of pure survival horror.
Many would feel that the genre has been stagnant and even waning with the releases of Silent Hill 4: The Room and Resident Evil 5. Well it looks like the tides are shifting once again with the tease of this project.
A collage was released to give us a visual representation (found below) of the tone and atmosphere that "Zwei" will have.
So what do you guys think about this? Are your survival horror game senses tingling! I know mine are!

A: In China könnte das Platzen der Kreditblase unter der Annahme eines jährlichen Rückgangs der Kapitalkosten um 2% und eines immer noch respektablen Konsumwachstums von 3-5% einen Rückgang des jährlichen BIP-Wachstums auf 1-2% zur Folge haben.


Q: Translate "Cray set up Cray Research Superservers, Inc. (later the Business Systems Division) to sell this system as the Cray S-MP, later upgrading it with faster SuperSPARCs as the Cray CS6400. Cray was never very successful in this market even though their design was one of the most powerful available, possibly due to it being foreign to their existing market niche." to German?
