The amount of tax collected from company car drivers and their employers by HMRC in the 2018/19 tax year has increased by £170 million (7.5%) to £2.46 billion.
New technology, which allows drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel, should be avoided by fleets if given the go-ahead by Government.
The Association of Fleet Professionals says fleets need to be able to plan EV strategies if a ban on the sale of new diesel and petrol cars is brought forward.
Classification of journeys causes headache for fleets, because of the rise of homeworking due to coronavirus, says the Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP).
More people are wanting to travel on their own in their own vehicle due to Covid-19, leading to an increase in private car usage for business journeys, says Jaama.

Fermilab earns ISO 20000 certification for IT services
||UL DQS Inc. CEO Ganesh Rao presented Fermilab with the official ISO 20000 certificate on Wednesday. UL DQS completed Fermilab's audit, leading to the laboratory's ISO 20000 certification in December 2012.

Fermilab recently became the first DOE national laboratory to earn ISO 20000 certification for excellence in information technology (IT) service management processes. The certification was the culmination of a five-year program led by Fermilab’s Computing Sector.
ISO 20000, an international standard for IT service management, is an approach to providing IT services that focuses on the customer. ISO 20000 requires that every stage of an IT service—from planning to delivery to improvement—meets business requirements and customer expectations. The standard was developed to reflect the best practices for IT service management within the IT Infrastructure Library, or ITIL, framework.
“Since we began the certification process several years ago, our goal has been to deliver the best possible IT-related services to the lab,” said Fermilab’s Associate Director and Chief Information Officer Vicky White. “Moving forward, we will continue to create a better computing experience for employees and users.”
The Computing Sector received the official certification in December and a ceremony was held at the laboratory on Wednesday, Feb. 13.
Fermilab’s certification included 13 core services, including FermiMail and Network Services, as well as 15 processes such as managing changes to an IT service and having procedures in place to optimize the availability of services. Maintaining certification status involves annual audits and a plan to continually demonstrate improved services and processes.
“The ISO 20000 certification journey has truly been a team effort,” said Tammy Whited, Fermilab service manager. “The staff was open to change and embraced the concept of improving the end user’s IT experience here at the lab.”
While the majority of ISO 20000-related improvements at Fermilab are behind the scenes, one improvement in particular is quite visible: the centralization and standardization of the Service Desk. Now, everyone at Fermilab has access to the Service Desk to report IT-related issues. In fact, you are encouraged to report problems to the Service Desk so they can be logged, tracked and fixed.
More service improvements by the Computing Sector that will be visible to end-users are in the works—look for a new Web tool soon that will allow employees to reset their forgotten services, Kerberos and KCA passwords. And, as a continuation of the certification process, the next IT audit at Fermilab is scheduled for November 2014.
“Fermilab should be proud of this significant accomplishment,” said Michael Weis, Fermi site manager, Office of Science, Department of Energy. “ISO 20000 certification demonstrates the lab’s continuing commitment to excellence and the staff’s ability to build strong systems to improve performance.”


ECONOMISTS have spent the previous decade wringing their palms over the well being of the euro space’s financial system. Final 12 months, in a welcome respite, it expanded by a sturdy 2.three%, outstripping forecasts and matching America’s development charge. Nevertheless it has appeared much less rosy-cheeked since.
Signs embrace moderation in a lot of month-to-month indicators. Industrial manufacturing fell in January and February, as did enterprise confidence; retail-sales development was disappointing. The buying managers’ index (PMI), an output survey considered a superb early indicator of GDP development, has fallen from exuberant—and maybe unsustainable—ranges on the flip of the 12 months, although it nonetheless factors to first rate development (see chart).
Germany, the bloc’s largest financial system, has not been immune. A abstract indicator compiled by the Macroeconomic Coverage Institute, a German think-tank, which incorporates manufacturing, sentiment and interest-rate information, means that the chance of a recession has risen, from 7% in March to 32% in April.

The relaxed atmosphere, which is just correct and pleasant and not overdone. I miss an open fire.
Perfect quality and price balance. Nice pub. Excellent swiming pool.
All was ok! Cant smoke on balcony!
Location, nice view to Lake Tamula. Wireless internet access. Instead of double room we got a twin one. Floor wasn't clean when we arrived and also wasn't cleaned next day (sandy spots). Roller-blind on windows was partly out of order. And some other minor faults and because of these IMHO the hotel is a bit overpriced.
It was pretty much the only place deserving the name of a hotel in a small out-of-the-way town. Also view of the lake from the room window was rather inspiring. Hotel is not up to modern standards and I'd rather see the * or ** rating than no rating at all. The price was too high for the quality
The desk clerk was very helpful including speaking English. The view was also excellent.
The lake Dusty and unbearable noisy from other customers at both nights!!!

Natural gas futures bulls ran out of steam Tuesday after a string of consecutive daily gains as forecasters were calling for supportive April cold to moderate by next week. Spot prices were mixed, with a few Midwest points strengthening on calls for spring snow as much of the Northeast eased off Monday’s weather-related gains; the NGI National Spot Gas Average dropped 9 cents to $2.92.
The May contract settled at $2.738 Tuesday, down 1.4 cents after trading in a 5-cent range from $2.711 to $2.761. June also fell 1.4 cents on the day to settle at $2.770.
NatGasWeather.com said the midday weather data was mixed Tuesday but showed “a rather pleasant temperature regime over most of the country late next week into the first several days of May. We see this transitioning weather sentiment from bullish this week to bearish by the end of next week due to demand looking rather light over most regions to close out April.
“...With deficits quite large and increasing after the next two” Energy Information Administration (EIA) “storage reports are accounted for, we see this putting the pressure on strong production reducing deficits, something that still won’t start happening for another three to four reports out.”
Bespoke Weather Services said afternoon guidance continued to show “a gradual pattern breakdown as we move into the end of April.
“...In the short-term lingering cold could keep cash prices relatively firm, and Thursday’s EIA print will show a decent week/week tightening,” Bespoke said. “However, the natural gas strip shows little evidence of a major rally, making any move back towards $2.77-2.78 a strong opportunity to gain short exposure with an unlikely test of $2.80-2.82 easily holding. Meanwhile, once cash eases we would look for the front of the strip to pull back another 5-10 cents.”
Turning to the spot market, some uncharacteristically cold spring temperatures continued to have an impact on prices across the northern United States Tuesday.
After “strong spring storm” passed through the Midwest and Northeast to start the week, “demand remains strong across the North and East with temperatures running 10-25 degrees below normal,” NatGasWeather said Tuesday. “There will be a brief break...across the Great Lakes and East, although a colder trending system is still on track to arrive Thursday-to-Friday with rain and snow showers.
“This second system won’t push as deep into the South and Southeast, thus requiring less national demand than the current system, but still stronger than normal,” the firm said. “The West will see weather systems continue to track inland with rain and snow, but with mild breaks in between, averaging out to near normal.”
Most points in the Northeast moderated Tuesday after gaining to start the week, though the constrained Algonquin Citygate added another 35 cents to $6.95. Transco Zone 6 New York fell 10 cents to $2.90.
Genscape Inc. was calling for New England regional demand to fall slightly day/day Wednesday, from 2.94 Bcf/d down to 2.39 Bcf/d. Appalachian regional demand -- including New York and New Jersey -- was expected to taper off to around 9.21 Bcf/d Wednesday after reaching 14.42 Bcf/d Tuesday.
In the Midwest, prices were mixed, though some points continued to climb as temperatures were expected to remain cold across much of the region, with snow forecast for some areas. Radiant Solutions was calling for temperatures in Chicago and Minneapolis to stay around 15 degrees colder than normal Wednesday.
Chicago Citygate added 11 cents to $3.73, while Joliet jumped 23 cents to $3.84. In the Midcontinent, Northern Natural Ventura surged 44 cents to finish a hair under $4 at $3.99.
The National Weather Service late Tuesday was calling for “another late season snowstorm” to hit “parts of the Upper Midwest on Wednesday as a surface low pressure system slides eastward across the central Plains and into the middle Mississippi Valley.
“To the north side of this low, temperatures will be well below normal and cold enough to support accumulating snowfall,” NWS said. “Expect snowfall to start” Tuesday night “across western portions of the Dakotas...where accumulations of generally less than six inches are expected.” Snow was expected to “ramp up across portions of the upper Midwest” Wednesday.
NWS is calling for six-to-12 inches of snow from eastern South Dakota to southern Wisconsin.
“The surface low moves into the Ohio Valley and the Northeast on Thursday, and mainly light accumulating snowfall will spread into portions of the Great Lakes and interior New England,” the forecaster said.
In California, SoCal Border Average shed 12 cents to $2.26, while SoCal Citygate retreated sharply after spiking by nearly $1 on Monday. The point finished 99 cents lower to average $3.11.
The import-constrained Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) on Tuesday had revised higher its projected receipts through the end of the week. The utility was forecasting daily receipts of around 2.6 Bcf/d, up from receipts of around 2.46 Bcf/d Monday. System demand is expected to hover around 2.5 Bcf/d through the end of the week, according to the utility.
Further upstream in West Texas, prices weakened for the second straight trading day. El Paso Permian gave up 11 cents to average $1.51 (including a low of $1.10), while Waha tumbled 13 cents to $1.81.
In Canada, NOVA/AECO C fell C4 cents to average C$1.12/GJ after adding C34 cents Monday. Record April demand in the region hasn’t been enough to prevent widening negative AECO basis differentials, according to Genscape.
“Alberta demand is holding strong well into April as the province -- as with many U.S. markets -- deals with one of the coldest Aprils in history. This month’s average population-weighted temperatures are the lowest of any April since at least 2009,” the firm said.
The cold comes as Alberta has seen seven straight winters of structural demand growth, including a temperature-adjusted 0.55 Bcf/d of year/year growth this past winter, according to Genscape.
“Combining the cold with the structural demand growth already present in the market, we see demand reach record highs,” Genscape said. “Demand is averaging an April record high of 5.69 Bcf/d and has not dropped below 5 Bcf/d on any single day. To put that in context, April demand has never topped the 5 Bcf/d mark in the last 11 years.”
While Alberta has also seen an increase in exports, helped by the region’s cheap spot prices, AECO basis continues to widen. Using Daily GPI prices, Genscape calculated an average negative basis of US$1.57 month-to-date, “by far the weakest April on record. The weakness is driven by both provincial production growth and intensified gas-on-gas competition into AECO’s traditional export markets,” the firm said.
“This month, the province is pumping out an average 12.38 Bcf/d, only slightly below March but more than 0.85 Bcf/d greater than last April.”
Genscape said its SpringRock production forecast shows Alberta output continuing to grow “as oilsands demand for condensates from liquids-rich Alberta basins remains high” and Canadian crude “continues to discount its way into U.S. oil markets.”
With production strong, regional storage inventories are in-line with the five-year average “and expected to fill relatively quickly given the forecast for sustained production growth and the looming retreat in weather-driven demand, suggesting further weakness for AECO,” the firm said.


Rangers Look to End Season at Home on a High Note; Face Struggling Sabres
The Blueshirts off our backs will be on display following this contest, as this marks the end of the Rangers regular season at home in Madison Square Garden. A season where there were as many ups as there was downs, the team heads into Thursdays games against the Sabres looking to end the season on a positive note.
Health is Important
The Rangers will be without forward Chris Kreider and defenseman Ryan McDonagh as they heal up from some late season injuries that have slightly changed the dynamic of the team as they head into the post season. It’s positive news for McDonagh as coach Alain Vigneault at practice Wednesday said that there is a 50/50 chance that McDonagh plays the season finale in Montreal.
That all depends on the playoffs, and how the teams around the Rangers are fairing. Kreider on the other hand, was seen skating for the first time with a cast on his hand. I’m sure it is safe to say his return is a little further down the road.
The next two games for the Rangers are important. Getting all four possible points is important to the Rangers. With the Rangers up two points on the Blue Jackets and the Flyers, and have played at least one more game than each, these final games are important in terms of seeding and of course home ice advantage. If the Rangers drop the last two games (not saying they will), and both the Blue Jackets and Flyers win out a possible first round matchup against either the Bruins or Penguins are possible.
Yet, the best case senario is win the two games out, see what happens to the Flyers and Blue Jackets and get ready for one of the two on home ice starting the 16th. Thursday’s game in Tampa for Philadelphia, and Friday’s contest for Columbus, also in Tampa will tell you a lot in terms of McDonagh playing Saturday against Montreal. Same with Lundqvist, who was also given the 50/50 chance tag by Vigneault.
The Ranger are a much better team than the Sabres. The Sabres do not have a true number one in net right now, and that’s why I think it is safe to say the Rangers will defeat the Sabres by a convincing score of 4-1. And Ranger fans will be happy when their favorite Ranger gives them their jersey.
I’m really excited to find out who gets the Justin Falk jersey tomorrow night!

Learning Conference Lunch and Learn Series
Since its inception, Building Strong Brains Tennessee (BSB TN) has connected brain science and communications science to change the culture in Tennessee to be informed by ACEs, Trauma and Resilience (ATR). This culture change in addition to appropriations in the TN state budget for BSB ACEs Innovation Grants have prompted many professionals, communities, and philanthropists to use the latest brain science to better prevent and mitigate ACEs, trauma and toxic stress. Four years of comprehensive, coordinated and collective work from both the private and public sector have positioned TN as a national leader in ACEs response.
In an effort to continue to propel and expand this cutting-edge work, BSB TN was planning to conduct a two-day learning conference to support professionals and community members to learn from innovative efforts happening at the national and local level. The goal of this conference is to advance trauma-informed philosophy, policies and funding, programs and professional practice in a variety of professional sectors and communities across the state. However, the coronavirus pandemic has required that we rethink our plans and not hold the conference at this time, in light of the necessary precautions to which all of us want to adhere. As a result, the conference content committee has moved forward with crafting a learning conference “lunch and learn” series throughout the spring and summer, with the key theme focusing on advancing equity. An excellent line-up of nationally recognized and visionary speakers have agreed to this online format.

Corporate Seventy7 performed at our company Christmas Party and they were fantastic. The lead singer had a great voice and they played several genres from different eras of music. They created a fun atmosphere you usually can’t get at corporate events and made a memorable night of it all. I'd highly recommend this band for all types of events!
- Elton on TheKnot.com
I watched Corporate Seventy 7 perform earlier this year at a private party. I truly was blown away at their performance. The party was non-stop dancing!
Corporate Seventy was a total hit for my cocktail hour at Miss Houston Latina 2019! They entertained our guests with very fun yet sophisticated beats! The whole team is awesome and super talented. They also provided me with a costumed list of songs before the event and were very open to suggestions and feedback! I highly recommend them for any kind of event plus: They’re bilingual! Their manager Susan made it super easy to book, and was very kind throughout the whole process! Thank you for being part of my special event!!

Japan has remained at the forefront of digital currency innovation. One of the world’s biggest Bitcoin exchange, Mt Gox, was based in Japan. However, after the $460-million Bitcoin theft and bankruptcy filing by the exchange in 2014, Japan didn’t immediately grow defensive. Instead, it formed new regulations that helped in the growth of the small crypto market. In a new blog post, Ripple explained Japan’s emergence and its consistency in the crypto market.
Ban Is Not an Option in Japan
Ripple detailed how some policy makers considered Mt Gox as a sign that crypto trading should be banned. In a three-part blog series, Ripple’s Sagar Sarbhai will make a case for digital currency regulations. The posts will focus on supportive regulatory structures in Japan, Abu Dhabi, and Thailand by forward-thinking policy makers who are driving crypto demand while protecting consumers from harm. The first of the three parts focuses on Japan.
Emerging economies like China and India have adopted a negative stance on cryptos but not Japan. Consequently, over half of the cryptocurrency trade in the world takes place in Japan. Countries that have complex FX markets have a problem in grasping the scope of digital currencies. One of them is India, whose central bank, the Reserve Bank of India, recently submitted an affidavit to the country’s Supreme Court saying that Bitcoin cannot be considered a currency because of the existing Foreign Exchange Markets Act.
Ripple’s Three-Pronged Approach to Regulation
Sarbhai comments on Ripple’s commitment to regulation, writing:
“Ripple believes in collaborating with regulators and working within the existing financial system … We believe regulation will help organizations use digital assets to develop innovative solutions, while also protecting consumers who use these services or invest in digital asset markets.”
- “Recognize that bans or ‘one size fits all’ approaches can stifle innovation.”
- “Virtual currency use case: address risk through a licensing framework.”
- “Liquidity tool use case: provide guidance for banks to leverage digital assets.”
Ripple also considers important “an approach that balances risk while promoting innovation.” Japan allows digital currency exchanges to be fully licensed in the country and considers Bitcoin a legal tender, which helps in balancing regulation and innovation. The blockchain company believes that though there are some negatives to this approach, there are many positives too that present a glorious example for other, more conservative, countries to follow.

Botanical Name: Saccharum officinarum, S. sinense, S. barberi
Sugar was originally imported to Europe to be used as a medicine. Sugar is used as a preservative and sweetener in many foods and beverages. Numerous studies continue to be undertaken to help clarify how using too much sugar can harm the body while the right amount can support brain function and help to energize. To date, it is known that too much sugar leads to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, inflammation, tooth decay, dementia, hyperactivity and a host of other related ailments and conditions.
Watch a short video, from Ann Christensen, Founder and Creator of White Rabbit Institute of Healing™ – Does the Body Actually Need Sugar?
Below is an overview of sugar, combining the best of Western Science, Oriental Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Shamanism, Folklore, and a wide range of healing modalities. Gain a balanced and thorough understanding of the healing properties of sugar.
How to take FULL advantage of Sugar's healing powers...
JOIN ME in an exploration of the healing herb, Sugar (Tang). Dive deep into the benefits and applications of Sugar, from Eastern and Western perspectives, and so much more!
Western Name: Sugar
Also Known As: Sugar Cane, Sugarcane, Plume Grass, Lump Sugar, White Table Sugar

Medicinal Uses: Small amounts support healthy digestion, helps moisten the intestines and nasal passages, supports brain and muscle activity. Used to help sweeten formulas that may not taste good. The sweet flavor is associated with nourishing the body and cells. Too much can cause unwanted Dampness and health issues.
Basic Habitat / Botany:
Sugarcane is a species of grass in the genus Saccharum. It is a perennial grass in the family Poaceae. It has beautiful red, purple, or white-striped stalks with thick stems that look like bamboo. The stems can grow to be 2 inches in diameter and up to 20 feet tall.
The origin of sugarcane is so old that it is difficult to trace its origins. The common variety Saccharum officinarum, was domesticated in 4000 BC in New Guinea. S. sinense and S. barberi, are believed to have originated in Southern Asia and India, respectively. The grasses require tropical, frost-free climates and enough rain during the growing season to help the plant reach its full potential.
Parts Most Frequently Used: Raw Sugar Crystals, Refined (removes the molasses)
Flavors/Temps: Sweet, Neutral, Moistening
Caution: Excess sugar can be harmful to your health.
Key Constituents: Sugar is a Carbohydrate composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Nutritive sugar, Non-nutritive sugar, Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Lactose, Sucrose, Polysaccharide
History/Folklore: One of the earliest written references to sugar is found in Chinese manuscripts dating back to the 8th century B.C. It was originally imported to Europe to be used as a medicine. Sugar is an excellent preservative and sweetener for bitter-tasting formulas and herbs. Sugar is also noted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for its moistening properties.
The Chinese used sugar to make desserts and as an ingredient in other culinary recipes. By 647 A.D., they were establishing their own sugar plantations to cultivate sugarcane closer and more cheaply at home.
The Crusaders also brought sugar home with them to Europe after their campaigns in the Holy Land. It was commonly called “sweet salts.”
Sugar was brought to Brazil by the Portuguese and to the Caribbean in the 1400s.
The word “sugar” derives from the Sanskrit “sarkara,” via the Persian word for sugar, “shakkar.”
It was brought to sugar plantations in the Americas and West Indies during the 18th century when sugar became available for common people to use instead of honey or molasses. Sugar production played a large role in the perpetuation of the slave trade, the role of migrant workers, and consequently the spread of ethnic cultures around the globe as cheap labor.
By the 19th century, sugar was considered a necessity. It drove colonization and created many unforeseen social changes felt all over the world. The distribution of modern ethnic populations was in large part influenced by the slave trade. This includes Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Sugarcane is the source of 70% of the world’s sugar supply. The rest is from sugar beets. Sugarcane is also used to produce ethanol, although usually made from corn, sugarcane has proved to be twice as effective. After being used to make sugar, the rest of the plant is used to make paper products or animal food. It is also used as an ingredient in producing biodiesel.
Today the average person is said to consume about 53 lbs. of sugar a year, or the equivalent of 260 food calories per person per day. The American Heart Association recommends less than 9 teaspoons per day for an adult male, less than 6 teaspoons for an adult female, and children 2 to 18 years of age.
There are two types of sugars: natural and added. Natural sugars, aka complex carbohydrates that are found in fruits and milk, help regulate blood sugar and provide nutrition. Added sugars, such as white sugar (sucrose), brown sugar, and syrups are simple carbohydrates that provide little nutritional value and can cause blood sugar spikes.
Sugars are monosaccharides (glucose (dextrose), fructose (found in fruits), and galactose (found in milk), xylose, and ribose), disaccharides (sucrose, common table sugar, or lactose (another sugar found in dairy products), or oligosaccharides. The monosaccharides are called “simple” sugars, the most important being glucose.
Sugars are important organic energy-carrying molecules used by plants and the body in many different ways. The monosaccharide, galactose, for example, is found on red blood cells and is used by scientists to determine blood groups. All plants contain sugar as they use and make glucose as a primary product of photosynthesis. Fruits generally contain more sugar than vegetables, but all plants contain and use sugar. The proper amount of sugar enjoyed in fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs is not the problem, the issue is too much sugar, and especially refined and processed sugars.
Too much sugar (particularly fructose as is found in high-fructose corn syrup) can overload your liver causing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It can cause insulin resistance, leading to diabetes and too much sugar is known to cause inflammation and overactive cell growth in the body, increasing the potential for age-related illnesses and cancers. Eliminating processed foods, that are loaded with sugars of various kinds, is a good step toward reducing sugar excess in your diet.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, craving sugar is a sign of a weak digestive system. They consider excess sugar to be agitating and disruptive to the functioning of the body’s systems as a whole. Too much sugar can result in a condition they call Internal Dampness, which can lead to sinus congestion, water retention, athlete’s foot, and other Damp conditions. In the right amount, it is considered nourishing, giving cells the energy they need to function properly.
In TCM, a little sweet can aid the digestive process and provide nutritional value. The sweet flavor can also help lubricate the body’s functions. They consider “full sweets,” those found in yams, carrots, certain herbs, and whole fruits to be best as they are naturally integrated with other nutrients, fiber, and proteins that help slow the metabolism of sugar. Processed sugar can overload the body’s systems. This is why after eating a lot of processed sugars you can feel bloated and fatigued versus strong and focused.
Exercise helps burn off excess sugar by stimulating metabolism.
Two excellent non-sugar, plant-based substitutes for sugar are monk fruit and stevia. They do not disrupt blood sugar levels or contain any carbohydrates or calories. Erythritol and Xylitol are sugar alcohols created to be used as sugar substitutes but are not naturally occurring substances. They are made from corn.
Staying properly hydrated helps to flush out excess sugar from your body.
A Quick Sugar Overview…
- There are several types of sugar, not all are bad for you. Glucose, Fructose (found in fruit and vegetables), and Galactose (found in milk), are sugars your body can use. Your body converts sugar into glucose to use immediately for energy and to store for later use. Glucose is also stored for later use, so your body always has what it needs on hand to function properly.
- Your brain, nervous system, and red blood cells all need a bit of sugar to function properly. The brain requires about 130g of glucose (a particular form of sugar) per day to function properly. During starvation the brain is competing with the body for glucose to survive. Sugar is the brain’s main fuel. It cannot function without it.
The right amount of sugar can give you an energy and mood boost.
- Sugar from fruit, vegetables, herbs, and dairy products contain high quantities of antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other compounds that can help properly digest sugar, reducing the negative impacts on your system.
- In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) the sweet flavor associated with sugar, and other non-sugar sweeteners and herbs, is identified with providing nourishment and moisture.
- Too much sugar is known to cause heart disease, weight gain, diabetes, depression, and a host of other ailments associated with excess sugar consumption.
- Sugar is addictive. The more you consume, the more you crave.
- Processed sugar and sucrose (white table sugar) have no nutritive value.
- In TCM too much sugar is said to cause digestive disorders and Dampness, a Pathogenic Factor that can, among other issues, impact blood pressure, cause urinary tract infections, acne, weight gain, headaches, and stomach disorders.

When to Access Your Credit Reports?
Your bankruptcy attorney St. Louis MO Tobias Licker offers a free consultation for more information about any question that cannot be answered through the general answers on this website. Preparing your petition starts with providing a list of your creditors to our office, and other information about your income, expenses, and property you own. We recommend that you check your credit report when providing information about your creditors. When we download your credit report, it will save you time as we will include all creditors from your credit report on your bankruptcy petition. In most cases, clients start their case after the initial consultation and have us download their credit report. You only would need to check which creditors are not listed on the credit report as not all creditors report to credit bureaus.
