Ten years after the country's accession to NATO, the situation of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic and the Defence Sector is quite unflattering. It is a reflection of the disconnect between the modernisation requirements of the Slovak Armed Forces and the resources available to carry this out. The lack of political interest, inadequate allocation of funds, serious shortcomings in strategic and defence planning, the absence of comprehensive projects for systemic armaments as well as long-term instability in personnel are some of the reasons why Slovakia today lags behind most of its allies in terms of overall military preparedness as well as the quality of equipment and armament.

Were you injured in a personal injury accident and need the best legal representation?
Accident injuries are, unfortunately, a very common occurrence in Georgia. Hiring a professional lawyer that will fight for you and your case is critical.
The police report about 6,296,000 vehicle traffic crashes every year. That doesn't include the 10 million crashes that people don't report to the police. If you were recently in a crash and hit by a car, don't hesitate to call for help.
Otherwise, your medical bills could start to stack up. You'll have to worry about missing work, losing wages, and covering expenses alone.
Instead, consider contacting a personal injury lawyer in Jackson. With an experienced lawyer on your case, you won't have to fight alone.
On the fence about hiring a lawyer? Keep reading to discover the eight reasons you should contact your Jackson personal injury lawyer right away. By understanding these reasons to call a lawyer, you can protect your legal interests in the future.
Don't wait to call for help. Discover why The Mabra Firm is the Best Personal Injury Law Firm in Jackson.
Your Injuries are Long-Lasting
If you were hit by a car, it's likely your injuries are severe enough to make you miss work. There's a chance you sustained a serious, lasting injury as well. You're not alone.
In fact, about 4.4 million Americans are badly injured after a crash and require medical attention. Another 20 to 50 million suffer non-fatal injuries that result in long-term disabilities. Meanwhile, about 38,000 people die every year due to car crashes.
In fact, road crashes are the leading cause of death in the US for people ages 1 to 54.
Meanwhile, pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities continue to rise. In fact, more pedestrians and cyclists were killed in 2018 than in any year since 1990.
Did you leave the scene of the crash with only a few scrapes and bruises? It's possible you won't realize the severity of your injuries until weeks after the accident. Make sure to schedule an appointment with a doctor right away.
Only a physician can assess your physical health. Their assessment can help build your lawsuit. Your personal injury lawyer will use the doctor's report to prove you were injured as a result of the crash.
Make sure to keep track of:
- Your medical bills
- The doctors and specialists you visit
- The medications you take
- Any treatments you receive
If you sustained serious, long-lasting injuries, don't hesitate to contact a personal injury lawyer. Your lawyer will use this information to calculate your damages. They'll ensure you fight for the compensation you deserve.
Gap in Treatment
After your initial appointment, it's also important to keep seeking treatment. Otherwise, opposing counsel might argue your injuries aren't as severe as you claimed.
They could argue there was a gap in your treatment plan. A gap in treatment can occur:
- Between the initial car accident and when you first began receiving treatment
- After you initially visited a doctor, then waited a few months for a follow-up appointment
Either way, a gap in treatment could hurt your case.
First, make sure to visit a doctor immediately after the car accident. Remember, you might not recognize the severity of your injuries right away. It's possible you're suffering from internal bleeding.
You could also develop a disability that could impact your quality of life.
Then, continue seeking treatment. Follow-up with your doctors, chiropractors, and any other specialists you visit. Track your symptoms as well.
If anything changes, let your Jackson personal injury lawyer know.
The Medical Bills are Stacking Up
The severity of your injuries could impact your case. An insurance company will calculate the severity of your injuries based on:
- The doctor's assessment
- The type of injuries you've sustained
- How long it will take for you to recover
- The total cost of your medical bills
Over time, your medical bills will continue stacking up. You could struggle to pay for your treatments if you're out of work.
Meanwhile, you might reach the policy limit on the driver's insurance policy. The insurance company will try to argue you sustained your injuries another way. They'll try to pay as little as possible, leaving you to pay out-of-pocket.
Instead, hire a personal injury lawyer Jackson residents trust. They'll calculate your losses and ensure you receive proper compensation.
Negotiating With the Insurance Company
Remember, the insurance company will want to pay as little as possible after you're in an accident. They might even try to blame you for what happened. In some cases, the insurance company won't take your claim seriously, either.
The insurance company won't have your best interests at heart. They might take advantage of you if you try to argue your case alone.
Instead of letting it reach that point, hire a personal injury lawyer to fight for you.
Look for a personal injury lawyer with years of experience. They can leverage their prior experience negotiating with insurance companies. They'll understand the laws and procedures involved when building your case.
In the meantime, don't speak to the insurance company alone. They'll use anything you say against you. Don't apologize, either, which they could use as an admission of fault.
Instead, speak with your personal injury lawyer. They'll coach you on what to say. Your lawyer will have your best interests in mind.
With their help, you can fight to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and any other damages.
You Were at Fault
Did you step into oncoming traffic without looking? The insurance company might try to argue that your negligence led to the accident. If you think you were at fault, don't speak to the insurance company alone.
Instead, hire an experienced personal injury lawyer. Tell them what happened.
Your lawyer will help you determine the best course of action moving forward.
Otherwise, the insurance company won't cover your losses. You'll have to pay out-of-pocket to cover your medical bills instead.
Look for an attorney who has years of experience in Jackson. They'll understand the complexities of your case. With their help, you can protect your best interests.
Liability is Unclear
Every day, more than nine people are killed due to distracted driving. Drivers are 23 times more likely to crash while texting and driving. In fact, more than 1,060 people are injured in crashes due to distracted drivers.
Even if the other driver was at fault, you might struggle to prove it. The insurance company will try to argue that liability is unclear. They won't want to admit that their client's negligence caused the accident.
If liability seems unclear, start searching for a "personal injury lawyer near me" right away.
An experienced personal injury lawyer will have a network of experts they can rely on. They'll gather evidence that proves the driver was negligent for the crash. They can even call on a medical expert to prove what caused your injuries.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer will help strengthen your case. With their help, you can prove the driver was liable. Then, you can fight for the compensation you deserve.
Trying to handle a case on your own, however, could lead to costly mistakes. You might struggle to gather the evidence you need to build a lawsuit. Meanwhile, one small issue with your paperwork could get the case thrown out.
Don't risk it. Instead, call a personal injury lawyer with experience. They'll ensure you receive the compensation you're due.
The Insurance Company Refuses to Pay
Remember, the insurance company will want to pay you as little as possible. In some cases, they might refuse to pay altogether. You could struggle to cover your medical bills and lost wages as a result.
Call your Jackson personal injury law firm right away. They'll keep the insurance company from stretching out negotiations. Otherwise, you could experience delays receiving the compensation you deserve.
You Don't Know What to Do
The best course of action moving forward isn't always clear. If you're not sure what to do after you're in an accident, speak with a personal injury lawyer. Schedule a free consultation appointment right away.
Your personal injury lawyer will ask you what happened and learn as much as they can about your case. Then, they can help you explore your legal options.
Otherwise, you might have to navigate this unfamiliar territory alone. You could struggle to make the best decision without experience to lean on.
Instead, leverage your lawyer's experience and expertise. Ask them about similar cases they've handled in the past. What was the outcome of those cases?
You can explore each of your legal options before and make an informed decision. With a lawyer at your side, you'll have peace of mind.
You Want to File a Lawsuit
Do you want to file a personal injury lawsuit? Remember, one tiny issue with your paperwork could cause delays. Don't try to handle it alone.
Instead, hire an experienced personal injury lawyer in Jackson. We'll help you gather evidence, file your lawsuit, and win your claim.
With our help, you won't have to go through it alone.

Find out if you were involved in this breach
We'll help you quickly see if your email address was exposed in this breach, and understand what to do next.What to do to protect your personal info
Though passwords weren't exposed in this breach, there are still steps you can take to better protect your personal info.
- Avoid sharing your phone number
Try to avoid giving out your phone number when signing up for new accounts or services. If a phone number isn't required, don't enter it.
- Use an email mask
Giving out your real email address makes it easier for hackers or trackers to find your passwords or target you online. A service like Firefox Relay hides your real email address while forwarding emails to your real inbox.
Try Firefox Relay- Avoid using addresses in passwords
Using addresses or the street where you grew up weaken your passwords. Since it's easy to find this info publicly, it makes these passwords easy to guess.
- Use unique, strong passwords for every account
Password reuse puts all your accounts at risk. This means that if one password gets exposed, hackers have the keys to many accounts.
- Store passwords in a safe place
Put your login details in a secure place only you can access, such as a password manager. This also makes it easy to keep track of all your different passwords.
- Be cautious about giving out personal information
Don't hand out personal data if you don't have to. If you are asked to enter or give out your email address, ZIP code, or phone number, you can say no.
- Update software and apps regularly
Updating your smartphone apps, browsers, and operating systems makes your devices more secure. These updates fix bugs, software vulnerabilities, and security problems.

During a heated debate on the floor of the Michigan state House, Rep. Lisa Brown made an impassioned speech against a bill that seeks to put new regulations on abortion providers and ban all abortions after 20 weeks.
Brown, a Democrat, argued that her Jewish faith allowed for therapeutic abortions when the mother's life is in danger without regard to length of pregnancy.
"I have not asked you to adopt and adhere to my religious beliefs. Why are you asking me to adopt yours?" she said. But what came next is what got her in trouble: "And finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but 'no' means 'no.'"
The Detroit News reports today the House Republican leadership did not allow Brown to speak on a bill about the retirement of school employees.
The News reports:
"'What she said was offensive," said Rep. Mike Callton, R-Nashville. 'It was so offensive, I don't even want to say it in front of women. I would not say that in mixed company.'
"Majority Floor Leader Jim Stamas, R-Midland, determined Brown's comments violated the decorum of the House, said Ari Adler, spokesman for the Republican majority."
Brown called a press conference, today, the Detroit Free Press reports. She defended her use of the word "vagina," saying it is the "anatomically medically correct term."
"If they are going to legislate my anatomy, I see no reason why I cannot mention it," she said according to the Free Press.
"Regardless of their reasoning, this is a violation of my First Amendment rights and directly impedes my ability to serve the people who elected me into office," Brown added in a statement released by her office.
Brown was not the only woman silenced on the floor today. Rep. Barb Byrum was also not allowed to speak on the floor.
"Byrum, D-Onondaga, caused a disturbance on the House floor Wednesday when she wasn't allowed to introduce an amendment to the abortion regulations bill banning men from getting a vasectomy unless the sterilization procedure was necessary to save a man's life," the Detroit News reports.
Video of the House action was uploaded to YouTube:
Update on June 17 at 11:16 a.m. ET.: Vagina Monolgues:
Brown has announced that in protest, she will perform "The Vagina Monologues" on the steps of the Capitol.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Sapphires are on the whole, very durable stones and are safe to use in jewellery dips and ultra-sonic cleaners, however avoid using heat with untreated stones as this could affect the colour and future recertification. Avoid coating with borax before applying heat as borax may eat into sapphires.
More care is needed with treated stones.
Sapphires can be treated to improve colour by a process called diffusion. Older stones treated in this way may only have treatment near the surface, so if you become aware that you or a customer has a stone treated in this way avoid repolishing.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Scones are among my favorite treats. They're easy to prepare, and even in their most basic state, they make an irresistible accompaniment to a steaming pot of coffee or tea. They're at their best, however, when imaginations run wild and creative cooks, using a bit of this or that, come up with flavor combinations that make their scones truly unique. Today's recipe was developed by Aimee Olexy for Food and Wine magazine and it is truly unique. When I first saw the recipe, I must admit I was underwhelmed, but I had an unused bag of crystallized ginger and I thought this would be as good a place as any to use it up. It was fortuitous happenstance. It took all of twenty minutes to make these scones and I suspect they are well on their way to becoming a family favorite. They are light, lemony and moist and have that soft texture that one expects in a creamed scone. If you enjoy mildly sweet European pastry, I think you, too, will love these gems and make them often, I know I will. Here's how they are made.
Glazed Lemon Cream Scones with Crystallized Ginger...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Aimee Olexy and Food and Wine magazine
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup + 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2) In a bowl, whisk flour with granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest and salt.
3) Using a wooden spoon, stir cream and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into dry ingredients. Fold in crystallized ginger.
4) On a lightly floured work surface, gently knead dough just until it comes together. Pat into a 9-inch round, a scant 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 8 wedges and arrange them 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet.
5) Bake scones for 20 to 25 minutes, until slightly firm and lightly browned on bottom but pale on top. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
6) In a medium bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar with remaining 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of lemon juice until glaze is smooth. Drizzle lemon glaze over the scones and let stand for 15 minutes before serving. Yield: 8 scones.
