10ticks wins prestigious Innovators E-commerce award
10ticks.co.uk beat off stiff competition to win a prestigious E-commerce award
at the national awards gala dinner at The Grosvenor House Hotel, London October
6th 2005.
The awards recognise best practice in the development of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) by UK business and public sector communities.
Awards are presented to individuals and/or project teams that demonstrate
clarity of thinking and development/deployment of an approach that has the
capacity to change the ICT paradigm in their particular technology/market
sector.
The National ICT Innovators Awards are designed to exemplify the true applied
technology innovators in the marketplace today and were open to all sizes of
organisations from SME's to large enterprise and the public sector.
10ticks Director Ian Fisher said, "We are absolutely delighted to have won such
a high profile award. It reflects the passion and dedication of the 10ticks
team and their commitment to the improvement of Numeracy standards in this
country. As a company we exemplify everything that these awards stand for and
are very proud of our achievements."

Record Beating Acrostic
An acrostic word square is based on a grid of words where the words read the
same vertically and horizontally. One of the most famous was found in the ruins
of Pompeii, it read:
ROTAS
OPERA
TENET
AREPO
SATOR
It also makes a passable Latin sentence translated as "the sower Arepo holds
the wheels at work". Now a Cornish engineer, Ted Clarke, claims to have
completed a 10-letter acrostic, but there are doubts over one of the words. The
acrostics is:
DISCUSSING
INCANTATOR
SCARLATINA
CARNITINES
UNLIKENESS
STATESWREN
SATINWEAVE
ITINERATES
NONESEVENT
GRASSNESTS
Experts are expressing doubts over the word nonesevent, Mr Clarke says the word
should be more correctly nones-event. Whether it is accepted or not, it is the
best attempt todate for a 10 letter acrostic. A previous best 9 letter
acrostic:
FRATERIES
REGIMENAL
AGITATIVE
TITANITES
EMANATIST
RETITRATE
INITIATOR
EAVESTONE
SLESTERED
Shave It off
What do you do when you get bad news? Hide? Not Dot Thorne, or Aunty Dot as
known to us in the 10ticks office. Dot has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Her reaction, raise money for a local children’s hospice by shaving off her
hair. She is an effervescent character who enjoys life so why not read about
her story, support her charity or just send her a good luck message at the
website below. She will appreciate it
