1.
If you are looking for peace and quiet when buying a new home, you could definitely look into a 19 th
century disused military fort right in the middle of the Thames Estuary. Built in 1855, it lies off the Isle of
Grain in Medway, Kent, exactly where the River Thames flows into the North Sea. The building, which is
completely surrounded by water, offers amazing sea views and is about a kilometre off-shore.
2.
This unique property, which has been for sale for some time now, is massive and, according to many estate
agents, has quite a lot of potential. It has enough space for up to seven large bedrooms. It can also be
transformed into an off-shore hotel, a nightclub or a casino, an outdoor activities centre or even a film
location. One of the visitors came up with the idea of turning it into a recording studio.
3.
At the moment the building, called by one of the local estate-agents ‘an absolute monster’, has no
electricity or running water. It will, of course, need to be completely renovated, which will cost a lot of
money – not less than £1,000,000. What is more, accessing the property is not very easy – you need a boat
or a helicopter as it can onlybe reached on foot when the sea is low.
4.
The owner of the fort is Simon Cooper – a builder from south-east London. He purchased it in 2004 hoping
to change it into his home. As his plans didn’t work out, he has put the property back on the market and is
looking for a buyer willing to spend half a million pounds on this unique building. Considering its size and
extraordinary location, it seems like a good deal and it is still less expensive than some of the one-bedroom
flats for sale in the surrounding area.
Have you ever heard the anecdote about a father shopping with his two teenage daughters? When the
girls were still young children and sometimes fooled around in a shop, the only way he could stop them
was to promise to sing them their favourite song. When his daughters grew into adolescents, this method
seemed to work in a completely different way. The father would stop the girls’ misbehaviour in a shop by
warning them he was about to start singing their favourite song in public.
This story illustrates very well what most parents are already aware of: that their dancing or singing in
public produces completely different emotions in young children and teenagers. What four- or six-year-
olds find very entertaining, becomes extremely embarrassing for adolescents. Social scientists all over the
world have always been interested in what causes such contrasting reactions. It seems that they have
finally come up with some answers.
Researchers at the University of London conducted a study which suggests that adolescents process
emotions such as embarrassment and guilt differently to adults. The results of the study, which was
published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, show that in some situations adolescents use a
different part of their brains.
Almost 30 people were invited to participate in the study – 19 girls between 10 and 19 years old, and
ten
women, aged between 22 and 32. They were asked to imagine a wide range of situations that cause
different emotions. For example, to create the feeling of embarrassment, the participants were supposed
to think about their father dancing in a supermarket or about dropping food on their clothes while eating
out with friends. They were also asked to think about some situations in which they felt guilty, frightened
or disgusted. While the study participants were imagining these situations, their brains were scanned using
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). It was the first time brain imaging technology had been
used to study this issue.
The researchers found that adults and teenagers use the same parts of the brain when considering
emotions such as fear or disgust. Neither of these emotions are connected with the opinions of other
people. However, the brain scan studies showed clear differences in brain activity when study participants
were thinking about embarrassment or guilt – adolescents used the part of the brain called the medial
prefrontal cortex, while adult participants did not. One of the researchers, Dr Sarah-Jayne Blakemore,
believes that the findings of the study could explain other medical conditions such as some eating
disorders and anxiety, which are linked to self-image and are experienced mainly by teenagers.
