Tics can be started by an emotional sensation.
What is Tic?
A tic is a repeated, impulsive action, reflexive in nature, which the actor feels powerless to control or avoid. Only when the individual performs the tic, is tension and anxiety released within the individual with a tic disorder. Tics can be triggered by an emotional state or sensation, or can happen for no obvious reason. General types of tics include verbal tics, facial tics, and other muscular tics. Physical and psychological therapy and medication can cause tics to go away, often permanently. Muscular tics look something like twitches or quick grimaces, and often affect the eyes and hands. Muscular tics can affect multiple muscles at once. Some forms of stuttering are caused by muscular tics in the throat, tongue, or vocal cords when speaking or preparing to speak.

Fire devastates Cutty Sark
The Cutty Sark ship, one of London's most popular tourist attractions has been devasted by a fire, which police think may have been started on purpose.
More than 40 fire fighters were called to the 138-year-old tea clipper ship in Greenwich early on Monday morning.
The ship had recently been closed to visitors so improvements costing £25 million could be carried out.
A spokesman for the London fire service said the whole ship was affected by the massive fire but nobody was hurt.
Police don't know what caused the fire yet, but said they were treating it as suspicious. That means the fire may have been started on purpose rather than by accident.
Chris Livett, from the group which looks after the ship, said the fire was a significant setback but they were determined to put the ship back together again.
He said the decks could not be saved but the damage didn't appear as bad as first feared.
Half the planking, as well as all the old artefacts on board, escaped damage as they had been removed while the refurbishment work was under way.
He added: ""She's been through storms and hurricanes. She's been battling all her life. She's not dead yet, far from it.""
The Cutty Sark was used to carry tea around the world in the 19th century. It now sits at a dry dock at Greenwich as a living museum."

Fire devastates Cutty Sark
The Cutty Sark ship, one of London's most popular tourist attractions has been devasted by a fire, which police think may have been started on purpose.
More than 40 fire fighters were called to the 138-year-old tea clipper ship in Greenwich early on Monday morning.
The ship had recently been closed to visitors so improvements costing £25 million could be carried out.
A spokesman for the London fire service said the whole ship was affected by the massive fire but nobody was hurt.
Police don't know what caused the fire yet, but said they were treating it as suspicious. That means the fire may have been started on purpose rather than by accident.
Chris Livett, from the group which looks after the ship, said the fire was a significant setback but they were determined to put the ship back together again.
He said the decks could not be saved but the damage didn't appear as bad as first feared.
Half the planking, as well as all the old artefacts on board, escaped damage as they had been removed while the refurbishment work was under way.
He added: ""She's been through storms and hurricanes. She's been battling all her life. She's not dead yet, far from it.""
The Cutty Sark was used to carry tea around the world in the 19th century. It now sits at a dry dock at Greenwich as a living museum."

The older apartment is more expensive
Finding an Apartment
My wife and I need a new place to live. We spent the past week-end looking at apartments. We found two apartments that we like but we can’t decide which one we like better.
I like the first apartment that we saw. It is closer to work. It is in a newer, cleaner building. The inside is brighter because it has bigger windows. The view is nicer too. Unfortunately, it is more expensive. The rent is too high.
My wife likes the second apartment that we saw. It is in an older building and it is in a more interesting neighborhood. The apartment has larger rooms.
The rent is cheaper. Unfortunately, it is farther from work than the other apartment. It would take both us longer to get to work.
We are going to look at more apartments next week-end. Maybe we will find an apartment that we both like!
