Bohemia Müller Ltd. is an electric installation firm, engaged in related activities for maintenance and servicing power equipment. Gradually the organizational portfolio was accompanied with design, engineering and system engineers. Last year, the company implemented the new information system Microsoft Dynamics NAV from NAVISYS.
KRÁLOVOPOLSKÁ RIA stands among the most well-known engineering-supply companies in the field of energy. Within five years, the company has increased almost threefold, especially through participation in projects for the modernization of large thermal power plants in the Czech Republic and at units 3. and 4. at the Mochovce nuclear power plant in the Slovak Republic. Because of this the company had sought after an enterprise information system that would help it effectively manage large projects and related financial flows, and which would give the management a tool for effective strategic leading. Ultimately the company chose Microsoft Dynamics NAV business solution with BIZ4BuildIn from NAVISYS. Investments in the ERP system, will give the company returns within two years.
ÚJV Řež, a. s. (ÚJV) not far from Prague will invest 333 million crowns annually on research projects. Some of the projects at the starting gates are radiopharmaceuticals, components for PET tomography and even large-scale projects to improve the efficiency and safety of nuclear and thermal power plants. Since 2001, Microsoft Dynamics NAV has been taking care of the economic side of ÚJV. In 2009 it also took on and supported the demanding agenda of managing research projects.
The company BigBoard Prague is one of the oldest operators of advertising space in the Czech Republic. They entered into the Czech market in 1994 and quickly became known for their bigboards - billboards with what was at that time unprecedented dimensions of 9.6 × 3.6 meters. In 2004, the company first decided to implement Microsoft Dynamics NAV. They were not entirely satisfied with original implementation, so in 2011 they decided to migrate to a new version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, and this time with NAVISYS.
NOEN specializes in designing and engineering machinery and equipment for the surface mining of minerals, transport equipment, equipment for handling material at waste disposal sites and supplying machinery and equipment for Stockyard bulk storage materials. From January 2012 the company has been using Microsoft Dynamics NAV with the branch solution BIZ4BuildIn from NAVISYS. This brought a number of streamlining processes and prepared the company for entering foreign markets.
Lorenc Logistic entered the Czech market in 1992. Originally a carrier and forwarder from Klatovy, it now also offers its own warehouses, truck service, refueling station and a carwash. Despite the economic crisis, the company maintains a turnover of three hundred millions CZK a year and is planning to expand abroad. Microsoft Dynamics NAV, an international system supporting national languages and legislation, is to help with this goal.
There was a requirement for a new information system to control all processes within one information system and to find a strong partner to complete the implementation and to be flexible in reacting to future needs concerning further development and maintenance of the information system.
TENZA, a.s. is today one of the leading Czech companies supplying technologies for production, distribution and exchange of heat. It is also spreading its activities into the areas of water, infrastructure and civil engineering. Having organized a tender, Tenza selected NAVISYS to become the supplier of its information system based on Microsoft Dynamics® NAV and the field-specific BIZ4BuildIn solution. This solution embodies the fundamental business logic of companies trading in building industry, or dealing with project oriented job orders.
Company Selectra ltd. was using a tailored and many times adjusted transport program until August 2005. This system unfortunately did not communicate with other fields – invoicing and CRM.
Building Plastics company used a foreign system without an adequate local support. Among the crucial drawbacks of the original information system were the problems of Czech legislation implementation, non-transparent accounting in the system and its frequent critical errors.
MANUTAN company made its business processes more efficient and optimized through the Dynamically Controlled Warehouse by NAVISYS.
AUSTIS company deals in production of building industry chemicals. One of the most important activities in this area is colour toning. AUSTIS has chosen a field-specific solution by NAVISYS based on the platform of Microsoft Dynamics NAV (previously Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision).
ISH&MSA Čerpadla a.s. decided to implement Microsoft Business Solution - Navision 4.0 information system extended with a unique field-specific solution by NAVISYS.
Effective from May 1, 2016, COFELY Inc. has taken on the new name of ENGIE Services Inc. The registration of this change was placed in the commercial register, while the company's other data remain unchanged.
As of October 2015 Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016 is available on the market including a Czech localized version. This new version comes with plenty of efficient improvements and attractive news for users. The producer has once again pushed the boundaries regarding the speed of implementation, ease of orientation in the user interface and also strengthened support for your business ambitions.
ÚJV Řež, a.s . (formerly Nuclear Research Institute Inc.) is a dynamic company that is engaged in projects to increase the efficiency and safety of nuclear and thermal power plants, radioactive waste disposal, preparation of radiopharmaceuticals for PET tomography components and other technical services. From 2001, the economic side of business at ÚJV Řež, a.s. ran on the old enterprise information system Microsoft Dynamics NAV. In 2009 it took on and supported the demand for the management of research projects. The company now, with its long-term supplier NAVISYS, has upgraded to the current version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2015.
ISH PUMPS OLOMOUC a.s. is a traditional manufacturer of pumping equipment for chemical, petrochemical, mining and energy industries.

Triton Pardubice, one of the leading companies engaged in the production of data and power distribution cabinets and metal furniture, made the decision to upgrade to the latest version of the ERP system Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2. The implementation partner is NAVISYS who already has long-term experience in managing Triton's information system.
MORAVIA CONSULTING Ltd. is among the companies working in distribution, logistics, marketing and technical support for calculators, spare parts and sensors.

Iraq is heading for civil war followed by a break up of the country if the current wave of violence continues, says a senior Iraqi politician.
The warning came as a desperate effort to stem the bombings that killed over 500 Iraqis in May saw officials introduce a ban in Baghdad on certain types of vehicle most likely to be used by bombers.
"If we go on like this we will have civil war and then partition," said Dr Mowaffak al-Rubaie, a former Iraqi National Security Adviser who remains a close adviser to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, in an interview with The Independent.
"I've never seen so many people talking about partition, but this is not a peaceable solution," he said, adding that he believes that a partition of Iraq, which is divided between Shia and Sunni Arabs and the Kurds, would be as bloody as the division between Pakistan and India.
His fear of Iraq disintegrating is echoed by the UN envoy to Iraq, Martin Kobler, who said on Thursday that "systemic violence is ready to explode at any moment if all Iraqi leaders do not engage immediately to pull the country out of this mayhem".
The surge in violence is taking place all over the country. In contrast to the sectarian civil war of 2006-7, when bombings were mostly carried out by al-Qa'ida on Shia targets, Sunni civilians are now being hit by bombs. An explosion in a Sunni mosque in west Baghdad yesterday killed seven people. Some 30 Sunni mosques have been bombed and 100 worshippers killed in recent weeks.
Iraqi security forces say they foiled an al-Qa'ida plot to pack explosives into oil tankers entering Baghdad from Basra to detonate in an oil facility in the capital. The vehicle ban, which started yesterday, is on older cars with temporary black licence plates, which are often used by bombers because they are difficult to trace.
Dr Rubaie, long at the centre of Iraqi security, says that the two most effective ways to control the wave of violence would be a policy of national reconciliation and the transfer of responsibility for preventing terror attacks from the Iraqi military to the intelligence services. He said: "We need to improve our human, signal, internet and cyber intelligence."
Iraqis complain that, despite hundreds of checkpoints, the bombers always seem to get through. Senior intelligence officials say that decisions are taken on a day-to-day basis and there is no strategy. Soldiers manning check points may also be disinclined to stop suspected suicide bombers and get killed in the process.
Dr Rubaie said that the government needed "to go the extra mile" to conciliate the Sunni minority demanding justice, equality and jobs. The Sunni started peaceful protests five months ago, but violence surged after government forces broke up a protest at Hawijah near Kirkuk on 23 April, killing some 50 people.
The attacks on Sunni mosques are an ominous development since they imply that Shia militiamen, who played a central role in the sectarian bloodbath of 2006-7, are once more active. In Sunni areas al-Qa'ida members who used to keep their identity secret now flaunt their presence.
Baghdad has been a largely Shia city since the sectarian cleansing at the height of the civil war. Few mixed areas are left, and the Sunni have been pushed into enclaves, mostly in the west of the city. Sunni in these areas are feeling acutely vulnerable to a renewed drive against them as the tit-for-tat bombings deepen sectarian hatred.

We had the most gorgeous weather this weekend, it was a joy to be
outside. I tackled the weeds out front again and gained another four or
five feet on the lawn part, where we had removed the lawn last year and
not replanted it. I am battling a huge number of bizarre weeds now but
oh well. I also cleared some weeds of the garden bed there, deadheaded
the achillea and started pulling out the gaillardia. Kind of hated to do
that but I cannot keep it deadheaded during the summer and it looks bad
if I don't, so out with it. We have enough of it growing now along the
edges of the lawn and some other areas that I can still have some
growing and not feel bad about neglecting it. But it will take me months
to clear out the actual garden beds I'm afraid (and I am still not sure
what I want to do with it all in the long term...I need more drought
tolerance there). I am putting out enquiries to people I know who have
gardeners, just to get the basic stuff done and give me time to do other
Like, for instance, mowing the front lawn - I am embarrassed to say we
haven't mowed for weeks but at least it was only about 8" tall. I wasn't
brave enough to try the back lawn. The dogs have been after gophers
there so there are huge holes plus long grass, a person could fall in
and never be seen again. We'll have to fix that eventually, it's on my
20 page to-do list. Plus the sycamores are way overgrown so to mow the
edges you are fighting your way through branches. Having them hang down
to the ground like that is a pretty nice effect when you're sitting
under the tree but not so great to mow around. I should have had them
trimmed last year but I was feeling broke at the time. Husband says we
can do it ourselves but I had a flashback to the last time they got
done...the tree trimmers brought in a cherry-picker and this huge
shredder, it took them hours to do the two trees. I am thinking it might
be worth the thousand dollars just so we don't have to deal with getting
rid of the debris let alone climbing up to saw off branches.
Oh yes, the end of the sprinkler adventure. The first thing husband did
when he got home Thursday night was go to the store and buy a cap for
the sprinkler valve, sawed off the valve and glued on the cap. Shoot, I
could have done that but I figured why not fix it just once. But he
wasn't willing to wander out to the street every time he wanted water,
which is what I was doing. Saturday he started digging around and
discovered the shut-off valve for that system about 18 inches below the
surface, completely corroded, wouldn't have done me any good to find it
when the valve broke anyway. He replaced that and moved it up so you can
get to it and then replaced the sprinkler valve. So that's done.
Not much blooming out front since it's so neglected, a couple roses is
all, and some eupatorium - can't remember the name of it, it's a light
purple flower. A few Shasta daisies too. They never did bloom much this
year, perhaps they need dividing. In the dry garden, salvia greggii
looks okay as does the Russian sage, and the zauschneria is blooming
like crazy. Desert willow is still blooming too. In the veggie garden, I
salvaged the last of the Italian peppers and found a few bell peppers
and a couple eggplant. Sadly I never got around to doing much with the
Anaheims, I was too discouraged with the whole pimiento fiasco and hated
looking at the whole thing. I have a few bags of roasted Anaheims but
that's all. Maybe this coming weekend I'll pick what's left if the
chickens don't get there first.

This OnPoint reports on two recent UK employment law decisions which remind employers of the perils of failing to comply with appropriate procedures in relation to the conduct of disciplinary, grievance and other matters.
Following appropriate procedures in the employment context is often essential – not just, for example, to avoid unfair dismissal generally but also to avoid uplifts (of up to 25 per cent) to the compensation awarded by the employment tribunal in unfair dismissal and other claims to reflect unreasonable breach of the requirements of the ACAS Code on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. In terms of the structure of their employment documentation, employers will often provide - explicitly and sensibly - that their disciplinary and grievance procedures are not contractual. They do this to avoid claims for contractual damages from employees in circumstances where the procedure is not followed and the employee argues that this is a breach of contract. The employee could then claim constructive dismissal and/or, in a disciplinary/dismissal case, damages for the period of time it would have taken for the employer properly to complete its disciplinary process before dismissing - which could be a significant period in relation to poor performance situations.
Two recent decisions of the Employment Appeal Tribunal ("EAT") highlight a couple of potential pitfalls for employers even where the procedures which have been adopted have been carefully drafted to ensure non-contractual status and the ensure that the applicable legislative requirements are satisfied.
In Blackburn v Aldi Stores Ltd the EAT confirmed that for any employer to fail to follow its own grievance procedure may be a breach of the implied term of trust and confidence. This can be the case even where the grievance procedure is not contractual in status. If the employer commits a breach of the implied duty to maintain trust and confidence, the employee in question will be able to claim constructive dismissal - and therefore potentially unfair dismissal - as well as being able to argue that he or she is no longer bound by any express contractual restrictive covenants.
It has been long established that an employer can constructively dismiss an employee if it does not take reasonable steps to consider a grievance complaint which any employee makes. To fail to do so is a breach of the implied duty to maintain trust and confidence. Consistent with that principle, the employment tribunal took the view in this case that, where there is no contractually binding procedure in place, the employer's duty when dealing with a grievance is to allow the employee the opportunity to bring his or her complaint, to have that complaint heard and to give reasonable consideration to it. In the employment tribunal's view, no set procedure has to be followed.
The EAT disagreed – an employer's failure to follow its own grievance procedure is capable of amounting to or contributing to a breach of the implied term of trust and confidence. That said, the EAT made clear that whether the employer's breach is serious enough to constitute constructive dismissal will depend on the facts. Minor timing issues will not necessarily breach the employer's obligations sufficiently seriously to constitute constructive dismissal compared, for example, with a total failure to follow the prescribed process.
In St Francis Hospice v Burn, amongst other aspects of the employee's claim, the employment tribunal found that the employer acted unreasonably when it refused the employee's request to be allowed to be accompanied at a meeting with the Hospice management. This was not a disciplinary or grievance meeting to which the specific statutory right to be accompanied applied. The employment tribunal considered that the employer's decision was part of wider repudiatory breach of the implied duty to maintain trust and confidence.
The employer argued that this decision was wrong on the basis that employees' right to be accompanied to meetings is prescribed by statute and applies only to specific situations, principally disciplinary and grievance meetings. The employer therefore argued that the employee could not establish an implied entitlement to be accompanied to meetings wider in scope than the statutory right - on this basis the employer could not be in breach of contract by refusing to do more than statute requires it to do.
The EAT rejected this argument. Whilst, as in any case, the factual situation is crucial, the employment tribunal was entitled to take the approach that the question was whether a refusal of a request to be accompanied was a breach of the implied term to maintain trust and confidence in all the circumstances of this case. The employment tribunal was entitled to conclude that it was - the employee had had an extensive period of sickness absence, she was in a state of anxiety about attending a meeting unaccompanied, her GP had supported her request to be accompanied and the employment tribunal found that her concerns were genuine. The employment tribunal was therefore entitled on the facts to find the employer to have committed a breach of the implied duty to maintain trust and confidence despite the employee having no statutory right to be accompanied to the particular meeting in question.
These two decisions serve as a reminder of the need for employers to be aware of the risks of deciding not to follow their grievance and other procedures, even if they are not contractual, and to be aware that employee requests for accompaniment should not be rejected out of hand just because they go wider than the strict statutory rules.

DENVER -- Chase Utley kept up his strong hitting.
Pinch-hitter Tomas Perez drove in the tiebreaking run with a two-out infield single in the ninth inning, and Utley homered and had a career-high five RBI to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 Thursday night.
"I just try to stay consistent and take it one day at a time to try to stay out of a slump," said Utley, who was hitting .365 19-for-52 over his previous 12 games and had 10 RBI from July 14-17. "I try to get a good pitch and hit it hard."
Utley went 3-for-5 with his career-best 15th home run and Kenny Lofton scored two runs and drove in two for Phillies, who snapped a three-game losing streak.
"Chase is hitting great," Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. "He really smoked that last ball."
Ugueth Urbina (1-0) worked the eighth inning and Billy Wagner pitched the ninth for his 22nd save in 24 chances.
David Bell doubled to left leading off the ninth against Mike DeJean (4-2), and moved to third on Ramon Martinez's sacrifice bunt. After Jimmy Rollins was walked intentionally, Perez hit the ball in the hole between first and second but second baseman Aaron Miles couldn't throw him out.
Utley followed with two-run double to right field off Dustin Mohr.
"I look forward to those situations. And when I do I like to hit the ball hard," Utley said.
"I made the right pitch to Martinez and he hit it to the right place," DeJean said. "I threw Utley a splitter below the knees and he went down and got it."
Trailing 2-1 in the fifth inning, Philadelphia took the lead with four runs against Byung-Hyun Kim. David Bell walked and, one out later, advanced to second on a wild pitch. Rollins extended the inning by beating out an infield hit with two outs, and moved to second a wild pitch. Lofton followed with a two-run single to center, and Utley hit a towering home run to left off Byung-Hyun Kim.
"Charlie is always saying to make sure I run every ball out, because that gives energy to the team," Rollins said. "It was one of those situations where I was going hard from the beginning, and that let us get the big hits by Kenny and Chase."
Phillies starter Robinson Tejeda left the game with one out in the sixth after walking Miles and giving up a single to Matt Holliday, who was thrown out at second trying to stretch the hit into a double. Garrett Atkins drove in Miles with a grounder off reliever Geoff Geary to make it 5-3.
Luis Gonzalez hit a solo home run off Rheal Cormier in the seventh inning to get Colorado within 5-4.
Colorado tied it at 5 in the eighth inning against Urbina. Atkins and Eric Byrnes singled with one out and pinch-hitter Jorge Piedra's single to right scored Atkins.
The Phillies took a 1-0 in the first inning when Holliday misplayed Utley's line drive into an RBI double in the first and scored Lofton who had drawn a one-out walk.
Colorado tied it at 1 on Kim's sacrifice fly to center in the third, and went ahead on Byrnes' RBI double off the wall in left in the fourth.
"We made too many mistakes that cost us," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "There were two plays that Miles couldn't make and we didn't capitalize on scoring opportunities in the fourth and eighth innings."
CF Bobby Abreu got his fifth his outfield assist of the year when he threw out Holliday at second in the sixth inning. ... Rollins was picked off in the fourth inning. ... Rockies 1B Todd Helton took batting practice for the first time since straining his left calf muscle last Monday. ... RHP Jose Acevedo will start in Shawn Chacon's place Friday. ... RHP Aaron Cook will make his 2005 debut for the Rockies on Saturday.

Eminem – Recovery Review
Editor's note (Allan): This post was created in 2010 and was not published out of error. Out
of respect for Spencer here is the post today.
of respect for Spencer here is the post today.
When I reviewed Eminem's last album, Relapse, I was less than impressed with the Detroit rapper's insistence on creating loathful shock songs instead of focusing on himself. Apparently he was just as disappointed with such a sub-par effort. Enter Recovery, a seventeen song, heart-wrenching, soul-baring tour de force. Eminem tackles real issues with his own life and his own past behavior in honest and poignant songs.
The album is a swirling mix-and-match of cocky, angry, funny, and introspective feelings. The album opener, 'Cold Wind Blows', is angry and funny. The next song, 'Talkin' 2 Myself', is honest. A few tracks later, 'W.T.P.' is cocky and funny. And so on. The angry songs are typical Eminem, if not quite as heavy as the rapist fantasies loaded onto Relapse. The funny and the cocky songs aren't bad, but they're really just comic relief from the real meat of the album. When Em gets serious and truthful is when the genius really shows through. Cuts like 'Going Through Changes', '25 To Life', and 'Love The Way You Lie' explore different aspects of the rapper's own experiences or feelings, and they do so with brilliantly flowing lyricism. The stories are thought-provoking and realistic, and it's nice to hear someone rap about something other than drugs, money, or strippers.
In both the honest songs and the less serious ones, Eminem is still as clever as ever, and wordplay is rampant. In 'Won't Back Down', he raps, "girl shake that ass like a donkey with Parkinson's." It gets a bit more serious in 'Love The Way You Lie': "But you lied again, now you get to watch her leave out the window, guess that's why they call it window pain." Regardless of the mood of the song, Eminem's lyrical skills don't suffer, and he's always going to have something clever to say.
For anyone who was as disappointed in Eminem's last two efforts, this is a must-listen. As he says in 'Talkin 2 Myself', "Them last two albums didn't count, Encore I was on drugs Relapse I was flushin' them out." He raps later on the track that "the new me's back to the old me." And he's right. This is by far the best thing to come from post-retirement Eminem, and maybe one of the best mainstream rap albums of the best few years.

FastMed Examines Rashes
Schedule a ZipPass Check-In today!
or call our toll-free number 855-2 FASTMED
It's summer … time to sit back, relax by the pool, and enjoy some sun! But taking it easy is hard when you're plagued by an itchy rash. If you've contracted an irritating skin condition, you need to know what it is in order to treat it. FastMed Urgent Care can give you pointers on the most common of these summer maladies and how to deal with them.
Types of Rash
1) Heat Rash
Fun in the sun can often lead to heat rash, an annoyance caused by blocked sweat glands.
- Heat rash presents as reddened skin with tiny bumps or blisters, and feels itchy or "prickly."
- It proliferates in areas of the body that are — you guessed it! — too hot.
- Dampness and poor air circulation also contribute.
- To treat and avoid heat rash, wear loose clothing in the hot weather!
2) Poison Ivy, Oak or Sumac
If outside adventures have led you through too many bushes, you might contract poison ivy, oak or sumac. These plants contain urushiol oil, to which most people are allergic.
- Each of these rashes presents with itchy, large raised bumps or blisters.
- Poison sumac is usually the most severe.
- Each can require medical intervention if they cover extensive areas of the skin or sensitive areas like the mouth or eyes.
- Treat these rashes with calamine lotion or other anti-itch creams. If necessary, use an oral antihistamine.
- Seek medical attention immediately if severe swelling or difficulty seeing, swallowing or breathing occur.
3) Eczema
Eczema, or dermatitis, is a chronic inflammatory condition thought to be caused by an overactive immune response.
- Eczema presents with large, raised, itchy, red areas that can appear dry and scaly. They occasionally ooze.
- There are several types of eczema, and they respond differently to treatment.
- If you have a treatment-resistant rash, see a doctor — only a medical professional can diagnose eczema.
4) Hives
Hives are an allergic reaction. They are primarily caused by your body's immune response to something in your environment, and can also be caused by stress.
- Hives appear as very large itchy, raised areas of the skin. When severe, they can become welts.
- Hives can flare up suddenly, and the reason is not always obvious.
- Hives usually only last for 6-12 hours, and go away on their own.
- To treat persistent hives, use antihistamines.
5) Chiggers
"Chiggers" is the colloquial name for the larvae of certain mites. (Pleasant, hmm?) They tend to populate plants near ground level in humid, hot weather. They are very small and red, and swarm and feed on skin, causing a rash.
- Chiggers present as extremely itchy red bumps that can look like welts, blisters, pimples, or hives.
- Chigger bites generally appear in groups.
- Most bites occur in damp places like the crotch, groin, knees and armpits.
- Chiggers can be treated with hydrocortisone, pramoxine or lidocaine creams or gels for pain, and calamine lotion for itchiness.
If you're itchy, FastMed Urgent Care can help — you don't even need to make an appointment! Just come on in to a location near you or sign in online. Our short wait times and expert care will soothe your suffering skin and get you back to your summer.

Tony Stewart re: Education Corridor
At his retirement announcement Thursday, I asked Tony Stewart a question from the audience re: the attempt by Rep. Bob Nonini and the Republican Pachyderm Club to stop the Education Corridor project. Here's some sound bites from his response:
*"If we don't do this now, this city will suffer for the rest of its history."
*"$10 million is peanuts compared to what we will get out of this."
*"You can't teach someone to be visionary."
*"I was called a "commie" by people who opposed the purchase of the NIC beach. You won't find people now who'd admit that they opposed the purchase.
*"You have to have courage to do the right thing."
