#AEICakeWars
AEI's communications teams is a great shop that loves to work with the other AEI departments, including government relations, development, and policy areas. And once in a while, we like to blow off some steam. Here's our version of Food Network's Cake Wars. All the cakes were built on themes that AEI values and which make America great, including freedom, global leadership, the pursuit of happiness, and the desire to learn and educate.
Tourette's Syndrome
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neurological
disorder characterized by repetitive, stereotyped, involuntary movements and
vocalizations called tics. The disorder is named for Dr. Georges Gilles de la
Tourette, the pioneering French neurologist who in 1885 first described the
condition in an 86-year-old French noblewoman.
The early symptoms of TS are typically
noticed first in childhood, with the average onset between the ages of 3 and 9
years. TS occurs in people from all ethnic groups; males are affected about
three to four times more often than females. It is estimated that 200,000
Americans have the most severe form of TS, and as many as one in 100 exhibit
milder and less complex symptoms such as chronic motor or vocal tics. Although
TS can be a chronic condition with symptoms lasting a lifetime, most people
with the condition experience their worst tic symptoms in their early teens,
with improvement occurring in the late teens and continuing into adulthood.
Tourette Syndrome Presentation
School Project I presented in November 2009. Brief description: "Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by tics: involuntary, rapid, sudden movements or vocalizations that occur repeatedly in the same way. The cause has not been established and as yet there is no cure."
