A SECOND AMAZING ADVENTURE begins as Hetty and her dad arrive at
their beach hut for the summer. A summer storm uncovers mysterious
clues which reveal the secrets of the areas smuggling past. Hetty
and Charlie are convinced there is treasure hidden somewhere around
Hengistbury Head. Does it exist? someone else is also on the trail.
The race is on, who will find it first? Life is never quiet when
Hetty and Charlie are around the beach huts for the summer! Helen
and Sarah have teamed up again following the success of their first
adventure story 'Hetty's Hut' which was enjoyed by a wide ranging
audience of both young and old. This time they have taken their
inspiration from stories of local smugglers as well as the beauty
that surrounds them.
When Hetty's Dad agrees that they can live in her grandparents'
beach hut at Hengistbury Head, near Christchurch for the summer,
she is so excited. The prospect of a fun-filled summer spent
exploring and having fun takes an unexpected turn as Hetty and her
new friend Charlie desperately try to evade the attentions of a
strange man who seems to be watching their every move. Who is he
and what does he want?

Commencing in 2001, the Europa Lecture has become a high-profile
fixture on the EU-New Zealand calendar. As witnessed by the fifteen
lectures reproduced in this new volume, the speakers were selected
for both their high-level profile as well as their importance to
this bilateral dialogue. This volume includes speeches from three
Prime Ministers, a President, four European Commissioners as well
as four Foreign Ministers both European and New Zealanders. Each
lecture, naturally, reflects the important issues of their day and
cumulatively they produced a unique record of how EU-New Zealand
relations have evolved, matured and continued to converge since the
start of the new millennium. The earlier lectures reflect a general
optimism in the European integration project, perhaps best
highlighted by the historic enlargement of 1st May 2004. However,
with the onset of the global financial crisis and then subsequent
Eurozone debt crisis, the anticipated trajectory towards a
supranational "ever closer union" was interrupted and the EU found
itself confronting a period of both internal and external criticism
and anxiety. It was in these less than auspicious times that
significant effort towards enhancing New Zealand's bilateral
relations with the EU gained momentum. These initiatives are
expected to bear fruit in 2016 with the signing of a Partnership
Agreement on Relations and Cooperation and - BREXIT not
withstanding - a fully-fledged EU-NZ Free Trade Agreement before
2020. This collection of lectures ends just as the rise in
Euroscepticism became evident and the first serious murmurings of
BREXIT could be detected within British politics. The impact the
UK's decision will have on EU-New Zealand relations remains
uncertain although, as the introductory chapter to this volume
suggests, since 2015 New Zealand's media have seemingly begun to
conflate coverage of the EU as being tantamount to BREXIT. If this
trend does come to dominate the New Zealand media landscape then
Kiwi perceptions towards Europe run a risk of becoming unbalanced
and a "Back to the Future" perspective reflecting the difficulties
of the 1970s may again come shape perceptions.
In the context of sustainable development, this book describes how
we are moving from representative to participatory democracy, and
how we are now in a "stakeholder democracy," which is working to
strengthen represented democracy in a time of fear. Since the 1992
Rio Earth Summit the idea of stakeholder democracy has grown, with
stakeholders engaged in helping governments and intergovernmental
bodies make better decisions, and in helping them to deliver those
decisions in partnerships amongst various stakeholders, with and
without government. Seen through a multi-stakeholder, sector and
level lens, this book describes the history of the development of
stakeholder democracy, particularly in the area of sustainable
development. The authors draw on more than twenty-five years of
experience to review, learn from and make recommendations on how
best to engage stakeholders in policy development. The book
illustrates successful practical examples of multi-stakeholder
partnerships (MSPs) to implement agreements and outline elements of
an MSP Charter. This will provide a benchmark for partnerships,
enabling those being developed to understand what the necessary
quality standards are and to understand what is expected in terms
of transparency, accountability, financial reporting, impact and
governance. The book is essential reading for professionals and
trainees engaging in multi-stakeholder processes for policy
development and to implement agreements. It will also be useful for
students of sustainable development, politics and international
relations.
Autistic girls can be frequently misunderstood, underestimated and
therefore anxious in a school environment. This practical book
offers an innovative life skills curriculum for autistic girls aged
11 to 15, based on the author's successful workshops and training,
which show how to support girls' wellbeing and boost their
self-esteem. Including an adapted PSHE curriculum, this is a
straightforward guide to educating autistic children on the issues
that matter most to them. It covers all essential areas of
wellbeing, including communication, identity, self-regulation and
triggers, safety, and physical and mental health, and offers the
reader strategies to help the autistic girls in their lives enhance
and develop these.

In the first volume of How Canadians Communicate the editors
examined and assessed the health of Canada's cultural industries
circa 2003. In this second volume, they not only undertake a new
examination of Canada's current media health, but also turn their
attention to analysing the impact of the startling pace of global
media proliferation on our country's media institutions. The
revolutionary changes underway in mass media technology, from blogs
to peer-to-peer networks and the ubiquitous cell-phone, have all
imposed structural modifications to global communication systems,
inexorably altering the fundamental ways in which Canadians
communicate. The editors have carefully chosen essays that address
the central issues of today's global media environment from a
uniquely Canadian perspective.Grouped under the headings 'The
Debate over Policy', 'The Quest for Identity', and 'The Struggle
for Control', the topics ranging from media concentration to
foreign ownership and the challenge of mass communication in an
increasingly multicultural community, underscoring the way in which
our media has operated in the past and how it must now adapt to a
new media landscape. There is little dou
Women, Equality, Power is a celebration of an outstanding leader
who continues to strive and work for change, and it's a rallying
call for other women leaders, whether they are in positions of
political, economic or social power. Helen Clark has been a
political leader for more than 40 years, since first running in
local elections in the 1970s. She entered New Zealand parliament as
a 31-year-old in 1981, led the Labour Party to victory in 1999 and
was Prime Minister of New Zealand for nine years. She then took on
a critical international role as Administrator of the United
Nations Development Programme in New York. One of her key focuses
throughout this time has been the empowerment of women, and she has
paved the way for other women to step up and lead. With a foreword
by the Rt Hon. Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand, this
is a timely and important book. 'If more issues of importance to
women are to rise to the top of political, legislative and budget
priorities, more women must sit at the top tables . . . Women must
be drivers of development - not just passive beneficiaries of plans
designed by others.' HELEN CLARK ONZ 'Helen Clark often said, and
continues to say, that having women in leadership positions not
only sends a powerful message to other women but also changes
societies' perceptions of gender roles and encourages girls to
believe that no door is closed to them.' JACINDA ARDERN, PRIME
MINISTER OF NEW ZEALAND
