Note that that nonresident visitors are routine- ly only allowed a 90-day permit per calendar year, although in the past excep- Info tions had been made for visitors who owned an apartment or house and cruisers who visited the island especially for the hurricane season. About eight months ago, Immigration officials started applying the 90-day rule more strictly. & Updates Concerned parties have asked the authorities to work out solutions for certain tar- get groups, such as visiting boat owners, who wish to stay longer, but meanwhile adjust your itinerary accordingly.

CHRIS DOYLE Curaçao is a great place to visit in the summer. It is safe, it has a diverse culture, there are good facilities for hauling out and maintaining yachts, and there are excellent flight connections to the USA and Europe. Marine Protected Area Staff Gain Law Enforcement Skills In April, skills including emergency first responder, self-defense, interview tech- niques, evidence gathering and case preparation were learned by marine protect- ed area staff from all the Grenada marine protected areas plus from five other Caribbean countries at a comprehensive law-enforcement training course held in Grenada. Captain Jayson Horadam of MPA Enforcement International says, “The seek Customs’ permission prior to visiting Barbuda; you cannot arrive there directly staff of the marine protected areas have built strong alliances with their counter- from foreign waters without it.

A Mexican Train Domino game was held at Whisper Cove Marina and nearly EC$500 was raised in honor of Marita Boodry of the S/V Aurora. The proceeds were donated to a Mt. Hartman man currently battling cancer and to the Grenada Pink Ribbon Society. Why donate the funds in Grenada instead of Marita’s home country? The answer is simple. People everywhere are affected by cancer and home is a feeling as much as a place. For many in the yachting community, Grenada is home for many months dur- ing the year. They feel welcome here, they have many friends in Grenada and some of those friends or their families have been touched by this disease. It was an opportu- nity to honor a friend’s memory and do something positive at the same time.

Critical and Popular Reaction to Ibsen in England: 1872-1906 by Tracy Cecile Davis Thesis supervisors: Dr. Richard Beacham Prof. Michael R. Booth Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, Department of Theatre Studies. August, 1984. ABSTRACT This study of Ibsen in England is divided into three sections. The first section chronicles Ibsen-related events between 1872, when his work was first introduced to a Briton, and 1888, when growing interest in the 'higher drama' culminated in a truly popular edition of three of Ibsen's plays. During these early years, knowledge about and appreciation of Ibsen's work was limited to a fairly small number of intellectuals and critics. A matinee performance in 1880 attracted praise, but successive productions were bowdlerized adaptations. Until 1889, when the British professional premiere of A Doll's House set all of London talking, the lack of interest among actors and producers placed the responsibility for eliciting interest in Ibsen on translators, lecturers, and essayists. The controversy initiated by A Doll's House was intensified in 1891, the so-called Ibsen Year, when six productions, numerous new translations, debates, lectures, published and acted parodies, and countless articles considered the value and desirability of Ibsen's startling modern plays.

SENC 21 CO., LTD. PREFACE In response to a request from the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, the Government of Japan decided to conduct a preparatory survey on the Project for Construction of Artisanal Fisheries Facilities in Barbuda in the State of Antigua and Barbuda and entrusted the survey to the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). JICA sent to Antigua and Barbuda a survey team from 5 January to 31 January 2009. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, and conducted a field study at the survey area. After the team returned to Japan, further studies were made. Then, a mission was sent to Antigua and Barbuda in order to discuss a draft basic design, and as this result, the present report was finalized. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the project and to the enhancement of friendly relations between our two countries. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda for their close cooperation extended to the teams.
