Welcome to the first 10ticks Newsletter of 2003 and a Happy New Year to you
all.
p2pt
We have added a new section in the Parent Area. You have to be logged in to
view it, p2p. This is a discussion group where you can chat or discuss
ideas with other parents. It is very simple to use. Post a message and wait for
a reply! You can turn the e-mail alert on or off to know when a reply has been
posted. The name attached to the message only shows your first name,- or you
can post messages anonymously for those embarrassing problems!.
P + (5E) + (3H) for unlimited Joy
Is this the mathematical formula for happiness? Occupational Psychologist Carol
Rothwell claims this formula she developed is just that. To reach a state of
happiness you need personal traits (P) such as adaptability, outlook on life
and resilience. Add to that your 'existence needs' (E) such as health, friends
and money as well as your 'higher needs' (H), such as a sense of humour, self
esteem and ambitions.
It isn't as straight forward as that though. Falling in love loomed larger in
men's sense of happiness than in women's. Spending time with family was the
most important sense of happiness for women in a survey of 1000 people,
followed by a good holiday, sunshine and dieting. Men were most cheered up by a
good holiday, a good sex life and sporting victories.
Scots ranked giving money to charity more than twice as high in their sense of
happiness than the national average.
E-Cards
Due to the success of the Christmas card area we have developed a whole page of
e-cards in the student area.

Last Newsletter Puzzle - Answer
Divide the face of the clock into three parts with two lines so that the sum of
the numbers in the three parts are equal.
The total of the numbers is 78, hence the three sections each need to add up to
26. Draw the two lines so the three sections contain (11, 12, 1, 2), (9, 10, 3,
4) and (5, 6, 7, 8).
