It is extremely complex and sophisticated. The functions of the brain were found by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks in 400 BC. It was Hippocrates who first discovered that brain played an important role in sensation and intelligence.

Here are some of the ways you can express your happiness in English.

You can be…

- (absolutely) delighted

- thrilled to bits

- over the moon
- really pleased

- so happy

Or you can say…

- I couldn't be happier.

- That is fantastic / wonderful / great / marvellous!

When you hear good news you can say:

- What great / wonderful / fantastic news!
- We've been waiting so long for this (moment).
- Thank God! / Thank God for that!

Pronunciation tip

Stress the adverbs and adjectives for greater emphasis:

- I'm really pleased.

- What great news!

Public speaking can be very stressful. I know that whenever I get up in front of a crowd I go through a panic moment. It takes a lot of discipline, practice and preparation to put on a good presentation and even knowing what you need to know can be hard.

A year or so ago I wrote on the subject of first time speaking. Since that time I’ve been able to use many of those tips as well as some new tricks to help get myself ready for speaking engagements. I also had a chance to spend time with a speaking coach which helped more than I’d have ever guessed.

Now when I’m speaking, while not 100% comfortable, I do feel much better and I’m able to not only make it more fun for me, I think I pass along that good feeling a bit more to my audience. I’ve got several good tips, tricks and resources that will hopefully help some of you. These things should help whether you’re speaking at a large conference, giving a small internal presentation to you coworkers or classmates or giving a sales pitch. They’re pretty universal.

It’s a one-off version of India’s people’s car encased in 80 kilos of 22-karat gold, 15 kilos of sliver and 10,000 semi-precious and precious stones, including diamonds, rubies… The car was unveiled at Tata Theatre in Mumbai by none other than Ratan Tata, Chairman of Tata Group. The car itself is priced at a relatively modest $3,000. But at its current price – $1,819 per troy ounce – the gold alone adds $4.68 million.

Moving home is generally considered to be one of the most stressful things to do. But what about moving to a new home and town, leaving your friends and family and finding money to pay your fees and living expenses? Pile on the pressure of exams and part-time work and you can feel like you’re juggling too many balls. The average student graduates with around £17,500 of debt, which can also be a big worry. People deal with these stresses differently; some people’s personalities, due to genetic factors or previous experiences they have had,may mean that they become overly anxious.

THE TWO FELLOWS AND THE BEAR

Two fellows were traveling together through a wood, when a Bear rushed out upon them. One of the travelers happened to be in front, and he seized hold of the branch of a tree, and hid himself among the leaves. The other, seeing no help for it, threw himself flat down upon the ground, with his face in the dust. The Bear, coming up to him, put his muzzle close to his ear, and sniffed and sniffed. But at last with a growl he shook his head and slouched off, for bears will not touch dead meat. Then the fellow in the tree came down to his comrade, and, laughing, said: “What was it that Master Bruin whispered to you?” “He told me,” said the other, Never trust a friend who deserts you in a pinch.

London, July 7 (IANS) Scientists have found that a glass of milk may contain up to 20 painkillers, antibiotics and growth hormones.

Through a highly sensitive test, scientists found a host of chemicals used to treat illnesses in animals and people in samples of cow, goat and human breast milk, Daily Mail reported.

Though the doses of drugs were far too little to create an effect on anyone drinking them, the results highlight how man-made chemicals were now found throughout the food chain.

The highest quantities of medicines were found in cow's milk.

Researchers believe some of the drugs and growth promoters were given to the cattle, or got into milk through cattle feed or contamination on the farm.

A Spanish-Moroccan team analysed 20 samples of cow's milk bought in Spain and Morocco, along with samples of goat and breast milk.

Their breakdown, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, revealed that cow's milk contained traces of anti-inflammatory drugs niflumic acid, mefenamic acid and ketoprofen - commonly used as painkillers in animals and people.

It also contained the hormone 17-beta-estradiol, a form of the sex hormone oestrogen.

The researchers claim their new 30-minute test is the most sensitive of its kind. If the findings are true for Spanish and Moroccan milk, they could equally be true for milk produced in Britain and northern Europe.
