# George Smith (philanthropist)

George Smith (16 February 1831 – 21 June 1895) was a manager of the Whitwick Colliery Company Tileries in Leicestershire, England during the nineteenth century, who campaigned against industrial child labour. Smith highlighted the plight of children employed in the Leicestershire and Derbyshire brickyards of mid-Victorian England, some of whom were as young as eight years old and worked for up to seventy-five hours a week.

## Life

George Smith was born near Tunstall, Staffordshire, on 16 February 1831. His father was a brick maker, and when nine years old George was working thirteen hours a day in the brick fields. Nevertheless he contrived to obtain some education, so that in time he improved his position, becoming manager of a brick and tile works. In 1857 he discovered, at Coalville, Leicestershire, valuable seams of clay, and on the strength of this discovery organized a large brick-making business there. He advocated legislation in the interests of brick makers, and in particular called attention to the cruelty suffered in the brickfields by child workers, whose claims he pressed at the National Association for the Promotion of Social Sciencecongresses.
In 1871, Smith published The Cry of the Children. This work awoke the interest of the earl of Shaftesbury and of A. J. Mundella, and, in the same year, was passed an act providing for the government inspection of brickyards, and the regulation of juvenile and female labour there. Smith's share in this act aroused great antagonism, and at the end of 1872 he was dismissed from his position at Coalville, and reduced to great poverty. Nevertheless he turned his attention to the conditions of life of the hundred thousand persons living on canals. As the result of his representations on the subject the Canal Boats Billo was introduced by George Sclater-Booth, 1st Baron Basing(afterwards Lord Basing). This bill, which came into force in 1878, provided for the education of children on canal boats, and regulated the sanitary condition of life on board. In 1884 was passed another bill strengthening the provisions of the first. From that date onwards Smith devoted his attention to improving the condition of Gipsy children which he had described in his Gipsy Life (1880). A Moveable Dwellings Bill embodying his views was several times introduced into parliament, but always defeated.
In 1885 Smith received a grant from the Royal Bounty Fund. He died in Crick, Northamptonshire on 21 June 1895.

# Costa Group

Costa Group is Australia's largest horticultural company and a major supplier of produce to food retailers. The company had an IPO in 2015 and was officially listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

## Operations

Costa Group grows most of its produce at its own farms and greenhouses. Divisions include:
* Produce: berries, mushrooms, tomatoes, citrus fruit, bananas, avocados and table grapes
* International: grows proprietary varieties of blueberries and other berries for international markets
* Costa Farms and Logistics: Responsible for logistics and wholesaling, as well as banana farming and marketing

## History

Costa has undergone significant changes and growth since its origins in a family-owned fruit shop that was founded in Geelong in 1888. Today, the Costa Group stands as Australia's largest horticultural company with diversified operations across the supply chain from farming and packing to marketing and distribution.
Costa entered into a strategic partnership with Paine + Partners in 2011 to support further growth and development of the company. The company floated on the Australian Securities Exchange in July 2015.
Since 2011, Costa has been undertaking a strategic transformation program focused on increasing its scale and vertical integration within its portfolio and reinvesting in the business to refresh core assets and fund growth. Expansion initiatives have included the development of the berry and sweet snacking tomato categories organically, the acquisition of Adelaide Mushrooms (a mushroom producer with operations in South Australia and Tasmania) and additions to its citrus footprint through the entry into long-term leases of ex-Timbercorp orchards in 2011.
The formation of the African Blue JV in Morocco in 2007 and the formation of a farming joint venture in Southern China have enabled Costa to grow its international interests. Costa now grows approximately 368 ha of blueberries in Morocco and 381 ha of blueberries, raspberries and other berries in Southern China.
As part of its strategic transformation program, Costa has exited categories such as leafy vegetables, potatoes and stone fruit, as well as downsized non-core operations including table grapes, bananas and logistics.
In September 2023, the Board of Costa agreed to a takeover offer from a private equity consortium led by Paine Schwartz Partners, Driscoll’s Inc and the British Columbian Investment Management Corp at AUD 3.20 per share, valuing the company at approximately AUD 1.5 billion. The takeover was completed in February 2024.
# Richard Laurence Millington Synge

Richard Laurence Millington Synge (28 October 1914 – 18 August 1994) was a British biochemist, and shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the invention of partition chromatography with Archer Martin.

## Life

Richard Laurence Millington Synge was born in West Kirby on 28 October 1914, the son of Lawrence Millington Synge, a Liverpool stock-broker, and his wife, Katherine C. Swan.
Synge was educated at the Old Hall in Wellington, Shropshire and at Winchester College. He then studied Chemistry at Trinity College, Cambridge.
He spent his entire career in research, at the Wool Industries Research Association, Leeds (1941–1943), Lister Institute for Preventive Medicine, London (1943–1948), Rowett Research Institute, Aberdeen (1948–1967), and Food Research Institute, Norwich (1967–1976).
It was during his time in Leeds that he worked with Archer Martin, developing partition chromatography, a technique used in the separation mixtures of similar chemicals, that revolutionised analytical chemistry. Between 1942 and 1948 he studied peptides of the protein group gramicidin, work later used by Frederick Sanger in determining the structure of insulin. In March 1950 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society for which his candidature citation read:
   Distinguished as a biochemist. Was the first to show the possibility of using counter-current liquid-liquid extraction in the separation of N-acetylamino acids. In collaboration with A.J.P. Martin this led to the development of partition chromatography, which they have applied with conspicuous success in problems related to the composition and structure of proteins, particularly wool keratin. Synge's recent work on the composition and structure of gramicidins is outstanding and illustrates vividly the great advances in technique for which he and Martin are responsible.
In 1963 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Magnus Pyke, Andrew Phillipson, Sir David Cuthbertson and John Andrew Crichton.
He was for several years the treasurer of the Chemical Information Group of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and was an honorary Professor in Biological Sciences at the University of East Anglia from 1968 to 1984. He was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science (ScD) from the University of East Anglia in 1977, and an honorary doctorate from the Faculty of Mathematics and Science at Uppsala University, Sweden in 1980.

## Personal life

In 1943 Synge married Ann Davies Stephen (1916–1997). Ann Stephen was the daughter of psychologist Karin Stephen and psychoanalyst Adrian Stephen. Ann's sister Judith (1918-1972) was married to documentary artist and photographer Nigel Henderson.

## History

Dufne (today called Üçyol) has been identified as the site of the Roman castrum Daphnoudis (Greek: Δαφνοῦδιν, romanized: Daphnoudin) in the province of Mesopotamia, mentioned by George of Cyprus in Descriptio Orbis Romani. Mar Aho the Anchorite founded a small monastery at the village in the sixth century AD called the Monastery of Dafneth, also known as the Monastery of Mar Aho. The Monastery of the Cross at Atafiya, also known as the Monastery of Makhar, was located near Dufne; it was believed to have been constructed by Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus (r. 591–518) and designed by the architects Theodosius and Theodorus.
Cyril Yuhanna, son of the priest Simon of Bati, who had been ordained as metropolitan bishop of Midyat and the Monastery of the Cross at Atafiya (fl. 1468–1519) by Ignatius 'Aziz, Patriarch of Tur Abdin, was from Dufne. Basilius Denha, maphrian of Tur Abdin, resided at the cloister of Mar Barsoum near Dufne in 1749, where he transcribed a book of husoyos (supplicatory prayers) for the Resurrection. Dionysius Israel Sha’o of Basibrina, who had been metropolitan bishop of the Monastery of the Cross at Bethel in 1779, was transferred to the metropolitan see of Makhar and the Monastery of Dafneth (1792–1798).
Cotton was cultivated at Dufne using irrigation from the Tigris. In 1914, it was populated by 200 Assyrians, as per the list presented to the Paris Peace Conference by the Assyro-Chaldean delegation. It was located in the kaza of Midyat. There were 40 Assyrian families in 1915. The Assyrians adhered to the Syriac Orthodox Church. Amidst the Sayfo, the village was attacked by Kurds of the Rama tribe led by Amin Ahmad and the Assyrians were captured and taken to the Tigris, where they were killed and their bodies were thrown into the river, leaving only six survivors. The priest Shi'mun (Simon) was skinned alive. There were no remaining Assyrians at Dufne by 1987.
