Lady Emma Caroline Wood ( – ) was a British novelist and artist.   She wrote over a dozen novels, at least one under the pen name C. Sylvester.

Life and career 
Emma Caroline Mitchell was born on  in Portugal. She was the youngest daughter of Admiral Sampson Michell, a British Royal Navy officer who served as Commander-in-Chief of the Portuguese Navy.  Initially she was raised in Lisbon, but when Napoleon invaded Portugal in 1807, Admiral Mitchell left his family in Truro, England and sailed with the Portuguese royal family to Brazil, where he died in 1809.

In 1820, she married the Rev. John Page Wood, later 2nd Baronet.  Thanks to the influence of his father, Sir Matthew Wood, 1st Baronet, Emma Wood briefly served as Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Caroline before her death in 1821.  Emma Wood would have thirteen children, including novelists Emma Barrett-Lennard and Anna Caroline Steele, Field Marshal Sir Henry Evelyn Wood , and Katharine O'Shea, the mistress of Charles Stewart Parnell.

In the 1830s, Emma Wood exhibited watercolor paintings and became a professional book illustrator.  She illustrated a book of poetry, Ephemera, that she and her daughter Anna published under the names Helen and Gabrielle Carr.

After Rev. Wood died in 1866, Emma Wood began publishing novels, many nautical themed.  John Sutherland wrote about her Ruling the Roast (1874) that he suspected there was "an autobiographical element in the portrait of Myra Leith, the unhappy heroine...who unwisely marries the oafish clergyman son of an earl."     

Emma Caroline Wood died on 15 December 1879 in Belhus, Essex.

A University College Entrance Program (UCEP) is an education program in Canada, designed for adults who were unable to successfully complete Grade 12 level courses, but wish to go into a post secondary education. Many schools offer such a program, which allows a student to gain the necessary prerequisite courses.

UCEP programs helps students get the matriculation courses they need to go on to college and university study, giving them the skills, experience and knowledge that are essential for post-secondary success. Students may also enjoy field trips, theatre productions, and exposure to different area colleges and universities to become familiar with post-secondary education. 

Similarly, UCEP students may receive individualized counseling support to help them work through any barriers to reaching their academic potential. Often, this means overcoming obstacles that prevented these individuals from completing their Grade 12 level courses in the first place.

The 1964 Provincial Speedway League was the fifth and final season of the Provincial League in the United Kingdom. Twelve speedway teams took part. A second division of British speedway would not return until 1968.

Season summary
The 1964 season started in controversy which led to the Provincial League running 'black'. Officially the 1964 Provincial League season did not exist.

Wolverhampton Wolves refused to move up to the National League after winning the Provincial League title in 1963. The two leagues could not agree about the situation which led to the Provincial League being outlawed by the Speedway Control Board.

All National League riders were forbidden to ride on Provincial League tracks. Provincial League riders were warned by the Speedway Control Board that they were in breach of ACU regulations and could be suspended from all competitive racing. They were also barred from the Speedway World Championship.

The Stoke Potters, St Austell Gulls and Rayleigh Rockets all withdrew from the league for various reasons  before the season started. The Sunderland Stars joined the league but then withdrew after riding only three matches. However Glasgow Tigers and the Newport Wasps joined and completed the season.

Newcastle Diamonds won the final Provincial League and their first title.

Ángel de Saavedra y Ramírez de Baquedano, 3rd Duke of Rivas (; 10 March 179122 June 1865) was a Spanish poet, dramatist and politician born in Córdoba.  He is best known for his play Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino (Don Álvaro, or the Force of Fate) (1835), the first romantic success in the Spanish theater.

Career
De Saavedra fought in the war of independence and was also a prominent member of the advanced Liberal party from 1820 to 1823.  In 1823, Rivas was condemned to death for his liberal views and fled to England.  He lived successively in Italy, Malta and France, until the death of Ferdinand VII in 1833 and the amnesty of 1834, when he returned to Spain, shortly afterwards succeeding his brother as duke of Rivas.

In 1835 he became minister of the interior under Isturiz, and along with his chief had again to leave the country. Returning in 1837, he joined the moderate party, became prime minister, and was subsequently ambassador at Paris and Naples and director of the Real Academia Española.

In 1813 he published Ensayos poéticos, and between that time and his first exile several of his tragedies (the most notable being Alatar, 1814, and Lanuza, 1822) were put upon the stage. Traces of foreign influence are observable in El Moro expósito (1833), a narrative poem dedicated to John Hookham Frere; these are still more marked in Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino (first played on 22 March 1835 in Madrid), a drama which emerged from heated literary controversy.

Don Álvaro is of historical importance inasmuch as it established the new French romanticism in Spain. The play was used as the basis of Francesco Maria Piave's libretto for Verdi's opera La forza del destino (1862).  As a poet, Rivas's best-known work is Romances históricos (1841), adaptions of popular legends in ballad form.

Marriage and children 
He married María de la Encarnación de Cueto y Ortega (1806–1885) and had 9 children, including : 
 Enrique Ramírez de Saavedra y de Cueto (1828–1914), 4th Duke of Rivas
 Gonzalo de Saavedra y Cueto (1831–1899), mayor of Madrid

Performing arts presenting organizations facilitate exchanges between artists and audiences through creative, educational, and performance opportunities. The work that these artists perform is produced outside of the presenting organization.

Performing arts presenters are typically found in three varieties:
Those attached to a college, university, or other educational institution, with performances usually taking place on campus;
Those that are an administrative branch of a theater or concert hall, usually presenting performances only in that space;
Those that are independently administered outside any specific venue, usually renting multiple venues for performances.

The Association of Performing Arts Presenters, located in Washington, D.C., is the largest organizing body of performing arts presenters in the United States. The primary international organizing body of performing arts presenters is the International Society for the Performing Arts.

Performing arts presenters as a segment of the live performance market confronted particular difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) chair, Maria Rosario Jackson was quoted in the Chicago Tribune as saying, "Few areas of the U.S. economy were hit harder than the performing arts, with the value added by performing arts presenters (including festivals) to Gross Domestic Product falling by nearly 73% between 2019 and 2020." A press release from the NEA added the following quote, "Performing arts presenters and performing arts companies joined oil drilling/exploration and air transportation as the steepest-declining areas of the U.S. economy in 2020."

The Magnificent Nose and Other Marvels is a children's picture book written by Anna Fienberg and illustrated by Kim Gamble. It won the 1992 Children's Book of the Year Award for Younger Readers, and the 1992 Crichton Award for Children's Book Illustration. It tells five interconnected stories about children with unusual gifts.

Plot
The book is divided into six parts. Each of the first five parts tells the story of a character, and the final part features all of the main characters together.

Lindalou
Lindalou is born with a golden hammer and nail, the use of which is her main interest. She learns to make wooden boxes, and meets Aristan, a magic spider. After making a trio of boxes, she opens them to find more tiny golden tools: a saw, a clamp and a plane. With these tools, she builds a house in the shape of a boat. Lindalou's story ends when she and her family fly the boat to Kathmandu.

Andy Umm
The timid boy Andy Umm becomes a Cleaner and Animal Feeder at Silliaza Circus. The lion tamer at the circus, Sir. Leonard, refuses to work with the bad-tempered lion Fidel the Ferocious, and leaves. Andy, who can speak to animals, is told by Aristan that Fidel is troubled by the departure of his friend Daphne, a mouse. So Andy finds Daphne in a field, who returns to the circus, appeasing Fidel. The circus show that night is successful, and Andy is made Head Lion Tamer of the circus.

Curious Ferdinand
Ferdinand Feedelbenz, a very curious boy, is fascinated by the human body. One day, he is given spectacles that allow him to see inside the bodies of others and diagnose their illnesses. He becomes a famous doctor, and is called to see the Prime Minister of the land. Aristan is found to be inside the Prime Minister's ear.

Ignatius Binz
Ignatius Binz grows up in a perfume factory, and has a highly sensitive nose. After meeting Aristan, Ignatius eaves home and searches for adventure. After successfully preventing a fire in a bottled gas factory, Ignatius becomes captain of a fire brigade.

Valentina Lookwell
Acting upon the advice of Aristan, Valentina Lookwell makes paintings that reflect the inner characters of people. After resolving a conflict between a postman and dog, it is discovered that Sir. Grimbald, the landlord of the street, is intending to replace the existing homes with a Crocodile Park. After Valentina makes a painting for Mr. Grimbald, the plans to replace the street are dropped.

The Last Word
Lindalou, Andy, Ferdinand, Ignatius and Valentina gather on an aeroplane and meet Aristan and a writer. The writer is implied to be the author of the book.
