James Platten Syder, known as Jim Syder Sr. (1880-1945) was an English greyhound trainer. He achieved the highest training accolade when winning the English Greyhound Derby.

Early life
Born in Fakenham, Norfolk during 1880, he was the son of a cattle salesman. He moved to Edmonton, London as a young man and also became a cattle salesman.

Career
In 1927 he made the decision to change career, entering into the fledgling industry of greyhound racing. He was one of the first greyhound trainers to gain employment at Wembley Stadium following the introduction of the Wembley greyhound racing

He trained the runner-up in the 1928 Cesarewitch. One year later he won the inaugural 1929 Puppy Derby and inaugural 1929 Trafalgar Cup, with a puppy called So Green. So Green went on to reach the 1930 English Greyhound Derby final losing out to Mick the Miller.

His son Jim Syder Jr. started working for him in 1930, as a kennel hand and the father and son team reached another Derby final with Golden Hammer in the 1931 English Greyhound Derby.

They resided at Horsenden Farm (now a tourist attraction) in Greenford and later London Road, in St Albans but trained out of the Wembley Kennels. The first classic success arrived in 1935 when Grand Flight II won the Cesarewitch. Grand Flight II later reached the 1936 English Greyhound Derby final.

His greatest achievement was in 1937 when Wattle Bark won the 1937 English Greyhound Derby, Syder trained three of the six finalists. Also in 1937 he won the St Leger with Grosvenor Bob.

Wattle Bark reached the 1938 English Greyhound Derby final before World War II intervened. Before racing returned to Wembley on a regular basis Syder died during April 1945 and the Wembley licence passed to his son.

For the American educational psychologist and expert on educational assessment, see Nancy Cole.

Nancy Cole (October 15, 1902 – July 7, 1991) was an American mathematician who made important and pioneering contributions to Morse theory.

Early life and education
Cole was the daughter of a Boston grocer and the descendant of Mayflower immigrants. As a high school student in Plymouth, Massachusetts, her interest in mathematics was sparked by teacher Lucia Richardson. She studied at Jackson College, the women's sister school of Tufts University, from 1920 to 1922, mentored there by mathematician Edith Bush, before transferring to Vassar College, where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1924. She returned to study at Radcliffe College in 1926, earned a master's degree at Radcliffe in 1929, and completed her Ph.D. in 1934. Her dissertation, The Index Form Associated with an Extremaloid, was supervised by Marston Morse, and she was acknowledged by Morse for her assistance in preparing his 1934 book The Calculus of Variations, which began the study of Morse theory.

Career and later life
Between finishing at Vassar and beginning graduate study at Radcliffe, Cole taught college preparatory courses in Hartford, Connecticut, and while at Radcliffe she worked as an instructor at Vassar in 1927–1928 and at Wells College in 1931–1932 before taking a faculty position at Sweet Briar College in 1933, taking a position previously held by Ethel Moody and working at Sweet Briar with Eugenie Maria Morenus.

During World War II, she moved from Sweet Briar to Kenyon College, where from 1943 to 1944 she taught mathematics for the Army. After working from 1944 to 1947 at the Connecticut College for Women, she became an assistant professor of mathematics at Syracuse University in 1947. She was promoted to associate professor in 1952, and retired as associate professor emeritus in 1971.

She died of a heart attack on July 7, 1991, in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Recognition
Cole was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1950.

The Robert S. Pierson is a bulk carrier built for and operated on the North American Great Lakes.

The vessel went through several owners and several names.
In 2007, she was sold to Lower Lakes Towing, a Canadian company. Her last namesake was Robert Scott Pierson, the founder of the shipping firm Soo River Company. An earlier vessel named after Pierson operated from 1980 to 1982.

When first commissioned in 1974 she was owned by the Union Commerce Bank, of Cleveland, Ohio.
She was operated by Oglebay Norton Company and named the Wolverine. For the next 32 years, she was operated by various divisions of Oglebay Norton.  

Oglebay Norton assumed ownership of the vessel in 1994. In 2006, Oglebay Norton sold off its entire fleet to the Wisconsin and Michigan Steamship Company. In 2008, the vessel and two sister ships, the David Z. Norton and the Earl W. Oglebay were acquired by Grand River Navigation, for $20 million.  Grand River then sold the Wolverine to its Canadian partner, Lower Lakes Towing of Port Dover, Ontario. It was at this point she was renamed the Robert S. Pierson.

The Holland Sentinel, commenting on the sale, reported that the change of ownership to Canadian hands would prevent the vessel from visiting Holland, Michigan, formerly a major port of call, "as U.S. cabotage laws limit the ability of foreign-flagged vessels to make deliveries here."

The vessel was not built to seawaymax dimensions, she was specifically designed to navigate "Cleveland's winding Cuyahoga River".
She is  long. Her capacity is just under 20,000 tons.

On March 20, 2017, the Pierson was the first ship upbound in the Welland Canal, and the captain received the Top Hat at the Lock 3 Centre in St Catharines, Ontario.

The House of Water () is a 1983 Venezuelan drama film of the nation's Golden Age directed by Jacobo Penzo. The film was selected as the Venezuelan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 57th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.

Plot
A young man, Cruz Salmerón Acosta, from the impoverished village of Manicaure, Araya, rejects the dictatorship of Juan Vicente Gómez. Despite fighting for his ideals, he achieves nothing, returning to Manicaure with few opportunities. He ultimately dies alone of leprosy.

Cast
 Franklin Vírgüez as Cruz Elías Salmerón Acosta
Doris Wells as Asunción León Costa
Hilda Vera as Cruz' mother
Alicia Plaza as Consuelo
Elba Escobar as Ana Dolores Ramos

Production 
The film was scored by Juan Carlos Núñez, and includes a cameo by film critic Rodolfo Izaguirre playing a priest. It was one of the first films to receive funding from FONCINE.

Analysis 
At the Sofía en el cine film website, the film is said to go against traditional modern (particularly American) movie narratives which typically show that destiny is both achievable and aligns with the desires and ideals of the hero. To defy expectations, the film shows Cruz' failure to achieve what he really wants. Sofía en el cine also suggests that the film frames this to suggest that the individual can be brought down by their environment, that misery of nation creates misery of its people even as they try to escape it.

The name of the film is analyzed by Alexis Correia, examining the symbolism through the film that the idea of a house of water relates to; Correia proposes that first, it refers to being in the womb, then a life of false appearances, and then the house where Cruz dies alone. Correia also suggests that water, as vital to life, is not present in the 'house' of Manicaure, which is experiencing drought.

Response
Alexis Correia looks at the characterization of Cruz, suggesting it is mostly enabled by the dialogue written by Tomás Eloy Martínez and actor Franklin Vírgüez' "timeless" appearance; in the film, Cruz cares more about ideals than his art or youthfulness, which Correia believes is captured by the actor and multiple memorable lines. Correia also praises the cinematography, some of which he compares to Eisenstein.

Habib Sissoko (born 24 May 1971) is a former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Career
Born in Juvisy-sur-Orge, Essonne, Sissoko joined Olympique Noisy-le-Sec in 1996, moving on to CS Louhans-Cuiseaux in the 1997 close season. He joined Preston North End in February 1998, making his league debut, as a second-half substitute for Kurt Nogan, in a 1–1 draw away to Wycombe Wanderers on 21 February 1998. He played seven times for North End before being released at the end of the season.

He joined Airdrieonians on trial in August 1998, scoring a late winner on his only appearance having come on as a 70th-minute substitute for Stuart Taylor in the home game against St Mirren on 22 August 1998.

In October 1998 he joined Portuguese side União Leiria joining Belgian side Cappelen in the 1999–2000 season. He was released at the end of the season and returned to England, joining Torquay United on trial, signing on a free transfer in July 2000. He was one of three French players to play for Torquay that season, the others being Jules Mendy and Khalid Chalqi.

His Torquay debut came on 12 August 2000, a 2–0 defeat away to Kidderminster Harriers, with his first goal coming two weeks later in a 3–2 win home to Blackpool. Despite a good start to his Plainmoor career, Sissoko struggled to establish himself in Torquay's struggling side. He was sacked by the club on 23 April 2001 after an angry reaction to being substituted in the defeat away to local rivals Plymouth Argyle.

In July 2001, Sissoko signed for Parisian side Red Star 93.
He subsequently played for Nîmes Olympique before joining Stade Brestois 29 in 2003, immediately becoming embroiled in controversy. On leaving Nîmes he still had a three match suspension in place, but played in the first three games for Brest after his move, against AS Cannes, US Raon-l'Étape and Libourne-Saint-Seurin. Brest won all three games and the three clubs appealed. However, the French Football Federation rejected the appeal and allowed the results to stand, confirming Brest's promotion to League 2 instead of Cannes, who Sissoko subsequently joined in 2004.

He was released at the end of the season and in October 2005 he looked set to sign for Belgian side Louvière until the end of the season, but it fell through. On 16 November 2005, he signed for FC Rouen. His contract with Rouen was terminated in March 2006, 'a victim of his bad temper'.

John Collins Warren (May 4, 1842 – November 3, 1927) was an American surgeon and president of the American Surgical Association.

Early life and education

Warren was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on May 4, 1842 to Dr. Jonathan Mason Warren and Annie Crowninshield. He was the grandson of famed surgeon John Collins Warren, Sr. and the Secretary of the Navy, Benjamin Williams Crowninshield, and also the great-grandson of surgeon John Warren.

He was educated at Boston Latin School and at a private school run  by Epes Sargent Dixwell, that was also attended by future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. He graduated from Harvard College (1863) and from Harvard Medical School (1866). Warren then continued his medical studies abroad at the Imperial Hospital in Vienna, and at other hospitals in Berlin, Paris and London.

Medical career

In 1869, Warren returned to Boston and opened a private practice. Warren held several positions at Harvard Medical School. He was instructor in surgery at Harvard, 1871–1882; assistant professor of surgery, 1882–1887; associate professor of surgery, 1887–1893; and professor of surgery from 1893 until his retirement in 1907.
 
Dr. Warren's principal area of expertise was the surgical treatment of tumors, particularly in the treatment of breast cancer. He developed a special knife for the dissection of breast tumors and had it produced by Codman and Shurtleff, makers of surgical tools.

In addition to his work with Harvard medical school, Warren was employed by Massachusetts General Hospital as a surgeon from 1876. In 1908, after his retirement, he was made an overseer of Harvard University until his death on November 3, 1927.

During his life Warren was honored both at home and abroad for his work. He was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1900), and an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (1900). The honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by Jefferson College (1895). From 1873 to 1881 he was editor of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal and in 1896 served as president of the American Surgical Association.  He published Surgical Pathology and Therapeutics (1895); The Anatomy and Development of Rodent Ulcer; Pathology of Carbuncle and Columnal Adipose; The Healing of Arteries after Ligature in Men and Animals; and edited the International Textbook of Surgery (1900).

Family

Warren was married, May 27, 1873, to fellow Brahmin Amy Shaw of Boston, the daughter of Gardner Howland Shaw and Cora Lyman, and niece of the scientist and congressman Theodore Lyman III. They were the parents of two sons, John Warren (b. 1874) and Joseph Warren (b. 1876).
