Summary:

Thousands of ash trees are earmarked to be removed because of a deadly disease which leads to their collapse.

About one in five trees in the city’s woodland are ash, and the unprecedented felling operation will leave the city’s woodland looking very different.

But the fungal disease ash dieback has already left many riddled with infection and if the trees are left unfelled, the council says they could cause serious damage to both people and property.

Work has already started at Coney Hill Woods, next to Mill Road near Waterhall, and Coldean Lane. But to carry out work on the scale needed, the council needs to apply to the Forestry Commission.

TORONTO, May 18 (Reuters) - Canadian exporters are adjusting their currency hedges and buying the loonie at stronger levels, in a sign market players are growing more confident that the currency’s commodity-linked surge this year will stick, foreign exchange dealers say.

The Canadian dollar has climbed nearly 6% against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of the year, the biggest gain among the Group of 10 currencies. On Tuesday, it touched its strongest level since 2015 at 1.2013, or 83.24 U.S. cents.

A stronger loonie could crimp the profit margins and reduce the competitiveness of Canada’s exporters. While some are holding out for a pullback in the currency, others are positioning themselves for a further push higher on the back of soaring prices for some of the commodi ...

Summary:

Allergies can develop at any time, in any horse, and for virtually any reason. Many allergic reactions are evident as a mild case of transient hives. More severe ones, however, can truly take a toll on your horse’s health and make him miserable. Allergies primarily affect the immune, respiratory, and integumentary (skin) systems and, if unmanaged, can seriously impact an animal’s performance and well-being. So let’s review why allergies happen, how they affect your horse’s body, and how to treat them—or, better yet, how to avoid them altogether.

Allergies and the Immune System

The powerful network of cells and antibodies known as the immune system can recognize dangerous invaders and disarm them before they hurt the host. Such an immune response is essential for survival; it protects a ...

Howard Marks put it nicely when he said that, rather than worrying about share price volatility, 'The possibility of permanent loss is the risk I worry about... and every practical investor I know worries about.' So it might be obvious that you need to consider debt, when you think about how risky any given stock is, because too much debt can sink a company. Importantly, Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL) does carry debt. But is this debt a concern to shareholders? When Is Debt Dangerous?

Generally speaking, debt only becomes a real problem when a company can't easily pay it off, either by raising capital or with its own cash flow. Part and parcel of capitalism is the process of 'creative destruction' where failed businesses are mercilessly liquidated by their bankers. However, a more fre ...
