It arranged finance and handled imports from those two companies of products such as tea, silk and jute.  Matheson & Company also became involved in venture-capital, specializing in mining.  The company was a member of the consortium that formed the Rio Tinto Company.  After 1912 it became a subsidiary of Jardine Matheson. Robert Thom (; 1807 – 14 September 1846) was an English nineteenth century Chinese language translator and diplomat based in Canton (modern day Guangzhou) who worked for the trading house Jardine, Matheson & Co. and was seconded to the British armed forces during the First Opium War (1839 – 1842). The British Central Africa Company Ltd was one of the four largest European-owned companies that operated in colonial Nyasaland, now Malawi.  The company was incorporated in 1902 to acquire the business interests that Eugene Sharrer, an early settler and entrepreneur, had developed in the British Central Africa Protectorate.  Sharrer became the majority shareholder of the company on its foundation.  The company initially had trading and transport interests, but these were sold by the 1930s.  For most of the colonial period, its extensive estates produced cotton, tobacco or tea but the British Central Africa Company Ltd developed the reputation of being a harsh and exploitative landlord whose relations with its tenants were poor.  In 1962, shortly before independence, the company sold most of its undeveloped land to the Nyasaland government, but it retained some plantations and two tea factories.  It changed its name to The Central Africa Company Ltd and was acquired by the Lonrho group, both in 1964. Eugene Charles Albert Sharrer was a British subject by naturalisation but of German descent, who was a leading entrepreneur in what is now Malawi for around fifteen years between his arrival in 1888 and his departure.  He rapidly built-up commercial operations including wholesale and retail trading, considerable holdings of land, cotton and coffee plantations and a fleet of steamers on the Zambezi and Shire rivers.  Sharrer was prominent in pressure groups that represented the interests of European planters and their businesses to the colonial authorities, and was responsible for the development of the first railway in what had become the British Central Africa Protectorate, whose construction was agreed in 1902.  In 1902, Sharrer consolidate all his business interests into the British Central Africa Company Ltd and became its principal shareholder Shortly after this he left British Central Africa permanently for London, although he retained his financial interests in the territory.  Very little is known of his history before he arrived in Central Africa but he died in London during the First World War.

The London Penny Post was a premier postal system whose function was to deliver mail within London and its immediate suburbs for the modest sum of one penny.  The Penny Post was established in 1680 by William Dockwra and his business partner, Robert Murray.  Dockwra was a merchant and a member of the Armourer and Brasiers Livery Company and was appointed a Customs Under-Searcher for the Port of London in 1663.  Murray would later become clerk in the excise office of the Penny Post.  The London Penny Post mail service was launched with weeks of publicity preceding it on 27 March 1680.  The new London Penny Post provided the city of London with a much needed inter-city mail delivery system.  The new Penny Post was influential in establishing a model system and pattern for the various Provincial English Penny Posts in the years that followed.  It was the first postal system to use hand-stamps to postmark the mail to indicate the place and time of the mailing and that its postage had been prepaid.  The success of the Penny Post would also threaten the interests of the Duke of York who profited directly from the existing general post office.  It also compromised the business interests of porters and private couriers.  The Penny Post was also involved in publishing various criticisms towards the British monarchy, the Duke of York in particular, which ultimately led to the take over of the Penny Post by crown authorities.  The earliest known Penny Post postmark is dated 13 December 1680 and is considered by some to be the world's first postage 'stamp'. The Bonyic Dam is a gravity dam on the Bonyic River, a tributary of the Teribe River about 24 km southwest of Changuinola in the Bocas del Toro province of northwestern Panama.  The project produce hydroelectricity at a 32.64 MW power station about 3.8 km downstream of the dam.  The builder and operator is Hidroécología Teribe (HET) S.A., a private Panamanian company whose majority stockholder is Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM), a public utility company owned by the municipal government of Medellín, Colombia.  The dam construction was subject to controversies that have resulted in the removal of its funding by the Inter-American Development Bank.  The Bonyic dam would obstruct access for migrating fish to La Amistad International Park.  Members of the local indigenous people, the Naso, have periodically blockaded the single road to delay construction for a cumulative total of four years.
