Offshore Wind Leaves Good Mark on James Fisher Results
James Fisher and Sons has reported a revenue that climbed 9% in 2017 compared to the previous year, exceeding GBP 500 million for the first time. With an underlying operating profit of GBP 55.8 million, the company marked a 10% increase from GBP 50.8 million posted for 2016. Three out of four James Fisher's business divisions saw a boost in their profits, with the Marine Support division – which serves the offshore renewables sector – leading with an increase of 17%.

Strong growth in Marine Support helped by uplifts at Specialist Technical and Tankships divisions more than offset a GBP 0.4 million reduction to underlying operating profit in the Offshore Oil division, James Fisher said.
According to the company, Marine Support's underlying operating profit increased by 17% to GBP 24.5 million due to strong performance at Fendercare, which initiated ship-to-ship (STS) transfer services in Brazil, good growth from Subtech in Africa and the Middle East, and further progress in the offshore renewables sector.
In 2017, James Fisher Marine Services (JFMS) continued to provide integrated marine services to the Galloper offshore wind farm construction project, under a contract worth in excess of GBP 30 million, which is scheduled to be completed in 2018. In November 2017, JFMS announced the award of a GBP 3.1 million package of services to support the construction of the East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm.
JFMS's Rotos 360 has completed over 70 wind turbine blade repairs on ten wind farms since it was acquired in March 2017. At the Lynn and Inner Dowsing offshore wind farm, it completed a full turnkey repair project to repair 27 turbines in a contract worth GBP 3.4 million.
Over the last few years, James Fisher has made a number of acquisitions of marine service businesses which have been integrated into JFMS. After Rotos 360, JFMS acquired EDS HV Limited (EDS), a provider of high voltage cable connections and cable repair services, in December 2017. Last year, EDS supplied its services to the Rampion wind farm.
Regarding 2018, James Fisher said its Marine Support division had commenced the year with good prospects in its offshore renewables and marine project activities as well as firm demand in the ship-to-ship transfer business. Looking ahead, James Fisher said that all four of its divisions are well placed for the future, with Marine Support benefiting from the opening of new markets for STS such as in Brazil, from the development of its subsea project businesses, and its expanding presence in offshore renewables.
The company states that the growth of a completely new activity in offshore renewables is one of the factors that enabled it "to absorb external shocks and continue to grow" over the last ten years. Here, James Fisher named external events such as the financial crisis of 2007/2008, the fall in oil prices in 2014, and Brexit.

We stopped for water under the sparse shade of a great Elephant Tree in the Toliara Province of south-west Madagascar. The insects produced a cacophony so loud that we had to raise our voices to be heard! We marveled at this old tree and its massive trunk measured 5' around with several stout roots visibly starting above grade and plunging into the red clay earth. Operculicarya decaryi is an attractive small tree in the cashew or sumac family, the Anacardiaceae that has a thick bumpy and twisted trunk zigzagging branches and alternate odd-pinnate leaves with tiny shiny dark green rounded leaflets that are often beautifully tinged red in cooler weather. In its native habitat this plant is a drought deciduous upright tree to nearly 30 feet tall with a 3 foot wide trunk but more often it is seen in cultivation as a semi-evergreen small tree or even a bonsai specimen with its decorative trunk or even roots exposed in very small containers. Mature plants have small reddish to brown flowers at the tips of the branches in late winter that are not showy with male and female flowers on separate plants (dioecious), with small globular fruit that ages from yellow-orange to red on female plants - seed is viable only when male and female plants flower together. Plant in full to partial sun in a well-drained soil and water only occasionally in summer months less in winter, a bit more regularly if in a container but even then it requires very little water. Other common names include Jabily and Tabihy. In 2010 this plant was proposed as for inclusion as an Appendex II listing of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). We grow this exceptional bonsai tree in 2 gallon containers and ship them bare root.

Taraji P. Henson is really sharing the love these days.
When Henson broke her silence about their relationship with ESSENCE, she wanted to make one thing clear: things are going really well!
Over the holidays, Hayden gave Henson a puppy for Christmas and the couple has been spotted globetrotting when the actress isn't filming.

O Myanma Economic Bank (; MEB quando abreviado) é um banco público comercial localizado em Mianmar (Birmânia).

História
O Banco Econômico da Birmânia foi estabelecido como subsidiário do Banco Comercial do Estado (SCB) em 2 de abril de 1976, sob a Lei do Banco de 1975. A lei reverteu a lei de 1967 (Lei do Banco Popular da União da Birmânia de 1967), dividindo o Banco Popular em quatro bancos estatais separados, a saber, o Union of Burma Bank (UBB), o Burma Economic Bank (BEB), o Banco de Comércio Exterior da Birmânia (BFTB) e o Banco Agrícola da Birmânia (BAB). Em 1963, todos os bancos foram nacionalizados como resultado do Caminho Birmanês para o Socialismo. O governo birmanês já havia consolidado todos esses bancos nacionalizados no Banco Popular da União da Birmânia. No seu estabelecimento, o Banco Econômico da Birmânia foi formado para servir como a principal instituição bancária de recebimento de depósitos e bancos.

Em 1989, o Myanmar Investment and Commercial Bank (MICB) foi separado do MEB para fornecer serviços especializados de banco corporativo e de investimento. Em 1993, a Myanma Small Loans Enterprise (MSLE) foi separada do MEB.  O MEB e outros 4 bancos birmaneses foram autorizados a negociar com bancos estrangeiros só a partir de março de 2004.

Em dezembro de 2013, o Daiwa Securities Group e o Japan Exchange Group anunciaram um acordo de joint venture firmado com o Myanma Economic Bank para estabelecer a Bolsa de Valores de Yangon.
