In his gifts last year, Santa added an extra “Be Nice” note for half the children. This year Santa has got the “Annual Niceness Score” for each kid from their parents. Santa decided to see if the kids who got the “Be Nice” note actually behaved nicer or not? 🤔 But sadly, the variance in the metric was too high and the test was underpowered. Santa thought of 3 ingenuous ways to increase the power of his results using CUPED. 1. Stratification: Santa realized that boys are more mischievous than girls which can be used to reduce variance. 2. Adjusting for Good School Performance: Santa realized he can use kid’s school performance to reduce more variance. 3. CUPED: Finally, Santa used each kid's last year’s niceness score for the highest power. Bring a cup of hot chocolate and understand the core intuition behind why CUPED works in this Christmas edition Webinar 🎄on 23rd December, 10:00 am EST: https://lnkd.in/gczQ4mxP

It's no small feat to travel 160,000,000km, to visit 200 million children, in 800 million homes, in only 34 hours... Luckily Santa has magic on his side. According to Arnold Pompos of Purdue University, Santa would have to travel a total of 160,000,000km – further than the distance from the Earth to the Sun – to visit 200 million children in 800 million homes spread over 3x1013 m2 of land around the world. He would have about 10 hours, from 8pm to 6am, to deliver the presents. Luckily, children happen to be spread across a wide range of time zones, buying Santa an additional 24 hours. Even so, covering this distance in 34 hours is certainly no mean feat. Crunching the figures, we get a speed of 4,705,882km/h, far slower than the speed of light, but still fast enough that the air resistance is likely to vaporize Santa, along with all the children’s gifts… if he wasn’t riding a magic sleigh.

Authors working hard to promote conscious books Book 1 Mula about mindfulness and a fun introduction to yoga with age appropriate moves to try in the back What I love about these books is the joy that kids get from the action part and how they skip straight to that on the second and third read. Little do then know that we always win because not only have they enjoyed a good book but we got them to move too! Book 2 Unicake helps parents address the importance of a healthy balanced diet whilst having fun too. What I love about this book is the sparkle and fun 🤩

What a buzzing festive gift fair Books 2 Door Limited had at Birmingham NEC this weekend! Over 15,000 visitors to the show made this an excellent experience. Connecting with Sweet Cherry Publishing authors like Lauren Hoffmeier who traveled all the way from New York City for her book tour, and the incredibly talented Red Author best known for "Unicake" and many other titles was a real treat. We distributed 250 copies of picture books for free to children at the event in a generous gesture of good will to promote reading and share literary joy. A super successful book signing event!

WARNING: Get your tissues ready because you will need them. As we prepare for Thanksgiving this week, which is a time when we focus on gratitude and outwardly express our thankfulness, I want to share an example of why the work our teachers do matters. Oftentimes they have students who are challenging and who other teachers give up on, but there is always that one teacher who refuses to give up on that student. This video is about one of those teachers. At a time when public education is being demeaned and teachers perform a thankless job, it is important to show how their work matters, especially when they do not give up on students who may have given up on themselves. As a school communicator, I will always advocate and highlight the thankless work of teachers and other educators because the work they do truly makes a difference and shapes the future of our communities. So, as you are preparing for Thanksgiving and share everything you are grateful for in your life, please be sure to thank a teacher or someone who works in education. Happy Thanksgiving!

Every parent gets frustrated when their kids take things (and them) for granted. They fail to appreciate all they have. And they’re right. But here’s the problem: most of us don’t know how to teach our kids to be grateful, so we end up simply telling them over and over that they should be. This doesn’t work. Gratitude comes from focusing on what we have, not what we don’t. Teaching this requires action—not just words. Years ago, my son, husband, and I traveled with Food for the Hungry to Bolivia, where we met people living in huts who shared what little they had with pride and joy. We saw their gardens and their fish ponds—simple things that made them feel like they’d won the lottery. It changed us. What makes kids grateful? Experiencing the struggles of others and seeing joy on the faces of those who have less. To teach this, take your kids to serve those in need—whether at Habitat for Humanity, a soup kitchen, or a memory care facility. Gratitude is learned through action, not words. P.S.

Imagine capturing the story of how they met, their early years together, and all the timeless memories that have shaped your family. A true celebration of their lives. Let’s break it down: They raised four amazing children, who went on to bless them with ten grandchildren. Now imagine each child and grandchild writing about their favorite memory—no more than 1,000 words each—of a moment they shared with them. That's 14 chapters filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. Plus, two more chapters dedicated just to their remarkable journey together. This is more than a framed picture from a family picnic or a family tree with just dates and dashes. This is an emotional tribute, a heartfelt message from each child and grandchild telling them exactly how much they've meant over the years. It’s the story of their legacy, in their family’s own words. This is a gift they will hold close to their hearts for years to come. At Our Legacy Book Series, we specialize in capturing these memories and creating a stunning, personalized keepsake book—a treasure that will live on through generations. When’s your grandparents' next anniversary? Or maybe a family reunion? There’s no better time to start creating this unforgettable gift. Let’s make sure your grandparents receive something truly meaningful. Reach out today and let’s get your book started! Their legacy deserves to be remembered, and you have the power to make it happen.
