When after six long hard years I finished my Open University degree in psychology I thought at last I can be a psychologist and do exciting things. Well that is what I thought anyway. As it happened at the time my UK businesses were going down the river (mainly thanks to the Thatcher incompetence years) and the future looked pretty bleak. I had while doing the O.U. degree took some other short courses in Stress Management and psychotherapy. So I opened a little stress clinic for private clients. This was ok too but not very fulfilling.
At the same time for several years I taught A-Level psychology at college’s through-out the Midlands. (During all this time I studied for my MSC and PhD in Denmark.) So I asked myself a serious question – why not go overseas and work -get out of sinking Britain for a while. Since those days I worked in research in South America (Ecuador), Borneo, with orang-utans, a lecture in Russia to Moscow University, talks in Poland, and many other adventures. One day in between all this back in England I applied for a post in China at a University to teach Cultural Studies and School Psychology, low and behold they wanted me. That was four years ago now.
I have since moved to another University in Wuhan, Central China and taught five courses in psychology there. In the last year I came to Shanghai, did a little English teaching to start with but then met a nice woman who was a Chinese psychologist and she introduced me to my present post. I now work for a large Chinese company as their foreign expert in psychology and counseling. I train new counselors towards their license and work as the Clinical Director of the EAP department. (Employment Assistance Program). Here we provide counseling to companies staff and management. My job is to control the marketing and the quality of service by supervising the counselors on staff.
I am a true working psychologist and while I enjoyed teaching I am more interested in actually dealing with people everyday and have over the years counseled many hundred clients myself. I still work on research and publish my papers regularly – so far this year twelve, most published world-wide.
When I look back to the years of hard-work at the O.U. and the countless papers I thank heaven I did it. My degree gained late in my 30′s released me to a new life and a new adventure everyday. A psychology degree prepares you for more than you realise, working with animals (comparative psychology) working with Human Resources (psychometrics & personality) working with clients (abnormal & health psychology) working in Social research (social psychology) and many many other areas. Something I will never regret.

Dublin
Dublin is a popular shopping spot for both Irish people and tourists. Dublin city centre has several shopping districts, including Grafton Street, Henry Street, Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre, Jervis Shopping Centre, Powerscourt and the newly refurbished Ilac Shopping Centre. On Grafton Street, the most famous shops include Brown Thomas and its sister shop BT2. Brown Thomas also houses several boutiques such as Hermès, Tiffany’s, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
Dublin city is the location of large department stores, such as Clerys on O’Connell Street, Arnotts on Henry Street, Brown Thomas on Grafton Street and Debenham’s (formerly Roches Stores) on Henry Street. Grafton Street is nearly as renowned for its buskers and street-performers as for its fine shopping.
A major €750m development for Dublin city centre has been given the green light. The development of the so-called Northern Quarter will see the construction of 47 new shops, 175 apartments and a four-star hotel. Dublin City Council gave Arnotts planning permission for the plans to change the area bounded by Henry Street, O’Connell Street, Abbey Street and Liffey Street. Following appeals to An Bord Pleanála, the scale of the development, which was to have included a sixteen-storey tower, was reduced. The redevelopment will also include 14 new cafes along with a 149-bed hotel. Prince’s Street, which runs off O’Connell Street, will become a full urban street and pedestrian thoroughfare. Construction, which began in November 2008, led to the loss of 580 retail jobs. It is hoped that the Northern Quarter will open for business in 2013.
The city retains a thriving market culture, despite the arrival of new shopping developments and the loss of some of Dublin’s traditional market sites. Several historic locations remain, including Moore Street, one of the city’s oldest trading districts. In addition, there has been a significant growth in local farmers’ markets and other alternative markets, while 2007 saw the Dublin Food Co-op, the city’s only wholefoods co-operative, relocate to a large warehouse in The Liberties area where it is now also home to a range of market and community events.
Since the mid 1990s, suburban Dublin has seen the completion of several modern retail centres. These include Dundrum Town Centre, the largest commercial centre in Europe (on the Luas Green Line), Blanchardstown Centre, The Square, which has recently undergone a major refurbishment, in Tallaght (on the Luas Red Line), Liffey Valley Shopping Centre in Clondalkin, Northside Shopping Centre in Coolock, and Pavilions Shopping Centre in Swords.

Summer
Summer is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, between spring and autumn. It is marked by the longest days and shortest nights. The seasons start on different dates in different cultures based on astronomy and regional meteorology. However, when it is summer in the southern hemisphere it is winter in the northern hemisphere, and vice versa. In areas of the tropics and subtropics, the wet season occurs during the summer. Tropical cyclones develop and roam the tropical and subtropical oceans during the summer. In the interior of continents, thunderstorms are most likely to produce hail during the afternoon and evening. Schools and universities have a summer break to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days.
