Tanker truck accidents can lead to catastrophic injuries and death. Tanker trucks are often used to haul hazardous, highly flammable liquid, which can erupt into flames and may cause an explosion. Many people involved in car accidents with tanker trucks suffer severe burns and smoke inhalation injuries. Injuries resulting from an accident with a tanker truck can be extremely expensive to treat and cause long-term pain and suffering. Injured tanker truck victims can face painful and expensive recovery. Broken limbs can leave a tanker truck accident victim unable to work for weeks or months. More severe injuries, such as paralysis or traumatic brain injury, can mean a lifetime of medical bills and physical therapy. The tanker truck accident may completely change life for the victim as well as their spouse, children and other loved ones.
Tanker Truck Accident Lawsuits Require Trucking Law Experts
Tanker trucks are used to transport hazardous materials, including:
- Gasoline
- Diesel
- Ethanol
- Industrial Chemical
- Household petroleum-based products
Trucking insurance rarely covers all of the losses and expenses that result from a truck accident.

Tanker Trucks Pose Unique Dangers on the Roads
There are many reasons why Tanker Trucks and all large trucks cause wrecks. Often the reason is negligence or recklessness on the part of the truck driver or trucking company, such as:
- Aggressive driving or tailgating
- Speeding and ignoring reduced truck speed limits
- Long work shifts / unrealistic travel schedules
- Driver fatigue
- Distracted driving, such as cell phone use
- Impaired driving (i.e., alcohol and drug abuse)
- Failure to inspect tires, brakes and lights
- Failure to install blind-spot mirrors
Contributing factors to rollovers include:
- An improperly filled tank
- High center of gravity for the truck
- Speeding around a curve
- Improperly trained drivers
- Stopping short
If the tank is not filled properly, the liquid will move freely inside of the Tanker Truck and cause its weight to shift and making the truck very difficult to control. The driver may also lose causing the rollover Tanker Truck to roll.
Tanker Trucks must adhere to a specific set of regulations different from other tractor- trailer trucks. Because of the hazardous nature of the loads, Tanker Trucks must meet strict engineering guidelines mechanics for these vehicles must be specially trained.
Negligence on the part of the driver or the people responsible for filling the Tanker Truck tank and can result in a tragic accident. Owners who hire the drivers or enforce training protocols can also be responsible for a Tanker Truck accident.

Coulsdon Windows is a new window cleaning business located in (as you may have guessed!) Coulsdon. The company has been set up by Teodor, and he is running it with the help of his friends and family.
We were contacted by Teodor after he saw our great reviews on FreeIndex. He chose our Small Business Website Design service as he was on a tight budget. This certainly wasn't a problem for us, and we were more than happy to help a new business develop its online presence.
Teodor sent us his brief the same day, he already had a logo (which helped with the colour scheme) and all he wanted was a one-page website with a Call to Action contact box to enable people to request a callback, this meant we could quickly create his website to get him online sooner.
The design mockup was reviewed by Teodor, and he requested one minor revision, which was to leave some space in the header for a gallery which he will add photos to in the future. Teodor then approved the final design, and we started the quick development process.
After a couple of days, we had a full working site for Teodor to view and test. Finally, we checked for cross-browser compatibility, bugs and security issues.
I was really impressed with the service... Thank you so much, Cameron and the team.
Cameron is the Director and Lead Developer at ALG Websites. Cameron has over ten years of experience in the world of Website Development!
What our happy clients say about us and our work!
Now I have a great site which looks and performs very well thanks to ALG.
Moving my website to ALG Websites was not as straightforward as I had hoped. The service I received from ALG was exemplary.
I was really impressed with the service… Thank you so much, Cameron and the team.
Really pleased with the work. Great comms and great aftercare.
The logo is fantastic thank you ever so much… I'm sure my customers will love it as much as I do!
Built and hosted my company phone system menu. Really friendly staff and I'm very impressed with the work. I'd recommend if you're in need of a good development company.
Really nice people, really good work and great prices. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding website, you helped contribute to such a special day in our lives.
Keep up the fantastic work, i may be using you soon.
Great quality services provided. Would recommend!
I was quoted a very good price and the work was completed very quickly. 5 stars will use you again.
If I ever need a new website built or know someone who needs someone one I will send them to ALG websites.
Really professional company, great communication, great prices, great quality of work. So glad I found you.
If you're in need of a website or hosting I'd really recommend ALG Websites. You most definitely get what you pay for and I cannot praise high enough.
I am in love with my new logo. It's great and I cannot wait to use it on my club material. You've been really helpful and patient. A truly fantastic company!
Cameron was great! He kept me fully up to date with how my work was coming along. Anything I wanted adding or changed was done really quickly. Very reasonable pricing and amazing quality of work. Super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend services.
They were very helpful and quick with building the Cahaza TV website. It looks amazing and was very professional. Furthermore; any changes we asked for were made within 12 hours, so very good service. Very happy.
I want to thank all of you for the time and work you put into my project. I am over the moon with the site, it's wonderful to see my ideas on the screen working like I imagined.

Loom, Black Honey, and Prom are X-Posed at The Barfly
By Chris Patmore, London Correspondent
X-Posure is a monthly music night at the renown London venue The Barfly in Camden. Hosted and curated by XFM Radio presenter John Kennedy, it is a chance for established bands on the cusp of breaking through to get some, well, exposure, with each gig recorded for playing on Kennedy's radio show. With a reputed 10,000 (yes, ten thousand) unsigned bands playing in the UK capital every week, getting heard is no easy task, which makes this all the more important for the bands appearing.
June's gig featured three bands that are continuing the growth of driving guitar music with its roots in punk, garage and grunge. Opening the evening was PROM, who describe their music as industrial surf. Singer-guitarist Angela Won-Yin Mak showed that the grrrl movement is still very much alive.
Although not officially the headline act, Black Honey were definitely the big draw of the night. If Tarantino-esque was a genre of music then this would be very much in that category. It has a dark heart of psychedelic surf music that is tempered with Texas desert rock while still managing to retain the anger of urban living.

With my wealth of knowledge and experience, you can always count on the my abilities to know where the big fish are and bring you there to help you catch them. Having been around these waters for as long as I have, I know all the places the fish like to play. Knowing where to find good places to catch big red fish, flounder, tarpon, trout, and even sharks, has become almost second nature to me with my mastery of the waters in Savannah.
That's me!

DROID is a software tool developed by The National Archives to perform automated batch identification of file formats. Developed by our Digital Preservation department as part of its broader digital preservation activities, DROID is designed to meet the fundamental requirement of any digital repository to be able to identify the precise format of all stored digital objects, and to link that identification to a central registry of technical information about that format and its dependencies.
DROID uses internal signatures to identify and report the specific file format and version of digital files. These signatures are stored in an XML signature file, generated from information recorded in the PRONOM technical registry. New and updated signatures are regularly added to PRONOM, and DROID can be configured to automatically download updated signature files.
DROID is free and open source software made available under the New BSD License. The source code can be downloaded from our GitHub repository.

gzip compression is automatically enabled on all responses over a certain size, for most mime types. Because of the overhead of compressing/decompressing, tiny files don't receive any compression
PHP settings
Because we do all compression centralized in nginx itself, you should not send compressed output from PHP, as nginx will then de-, and recompress the output. HTTP compression in nginx is already highly optimized for Magento.
Unlike other hosting environments, you should not set
zlib.output_compression = On in your PHP setting, as this will actually slow down your site.
While HTTP compression is often referred to as 'gzip compression', it actually supports many different types of compression, one of which is 'Brotli'. Brotli is a new compression algorithm designed by Google specifically for HTTP steam compression. It's supported by all modern browswers. Brotli compression is preferred over gzip compression, and will be used with any client that explicitly indicates to the webserver that it supports Brotli.
Brotli provides 20%-26% better compression than other existing compression algorithms. This will especially be beneficial to users visiting your webshop with their mobile device. The reason behind this is that the webpages will be smaller in size and will therefore load faster and use less of their mobile data.

If you think Humayun's Tomb looks a bit like the Taj Mahal in Agra, that's because it was the inspiration for the Taj Mahal's creation.

Autumn is around the corner and I'm on the hunt for a pair of chunky heeled boots. Two pairs caught my eye, one from Woolworths and the other from Truworths, but I'm still looking for the perfect pair of boots.
Brown boots from Truworths (R475.00)
Black boots from Woolworths (R350.00)
The chunky heels are comfortable and great for everyday wear. They're pretty right?

I enjoyed reading about Vinay & Puneet Behl in The Last Word column ( JofA , Aug.06, page 96). It's so lovely to hear from foreign-born individuals who are happy to be here in the United States.
When I see and read about how much hate there is in the world for America and Americans, I get very frustrated and sad for all of us. How nice that these two CPAs are so proud to be here!

Possessions that you would consider "prized" belong not in a box in the garage or on a dusty shelf, but on display so everyone can enjoy them. Though some larger items might need to be mounted on their own (that Picasso that's been hiding in the attic might require an entire room to itself), a well-placed curio cabinet is just the ticket for smaller treasures, especially for those that are a part of a set.
Traditional Curio Cabinets
A traditional curio is generally made of hardwood and glass. They come in many forms, from tall to short, cylindrical to rectangular, but all are meant to display and accent whatever you decide to put into them. Though it is quite easy to find traditional looking curio cabinets that are brand new, it is often worth the effort to shop around online and in secondhand stores. You may be able to find one that not only suits your purposes, but has a bit of history to it, as well.
Contemporary Curio Cabinets
If your home décor is a bit more on the modern side, you might do well to opt for a curio cabinet that is more contemporary. Though they can still be made of wood, many of these curios are fashioned of metal and mirrors to truly accentuate the pieces they hold. The mirrors are generally positioned in such a way as to offer a good view of the objects in the cabinet from multiple vantage points. They are also quite helpful for viewing the side of the object that is not facing outward, without the need of actually taking the object out of the cabinet. Unlike a traditional model, a contemporary curio cabinet will most likely need to be purchased new.
Curio Cabinet Lighting Design
Try to optimize how your prized possessions look with wise curio cabinet lighting choices. This process is not nearly as easy as it sounds. The best lighting fixtures and placement can be significantly different for a mirrored-back, glass-back, or panel-backed cabinet. Curio cabinet lighting design is also a tough thing to get right, if you're looking at imported or custom-built cabinets. More specifically, if you're looking at one of these types of cabinets, you better off narrowing your search to units that already have curio cabinet lighting included. Indeed, many contemporary curios come complete with all the lighting you'll need, but if you are going for the traditional look, you may have to come up with your own lighting scheme.
Need to find a pro for your curio cabinet?Find Pros
Curio Cabinet Installation
No matter what style cabinet you purchase, it is important to make sure that it is fixed solidly in place. Since they are most often used to hold things of value, curios need extra stability. You don't want your valuables falling down if the cabinet gets bumped into (not to mention the fragility of all the mirrors and glass). Curio cabinets with flat backs can usually be anchored to a stud in a wall pretty easily, and often come with hardware designed just for that purpose. Round curio cabinets might be a bit more tricky, but with a little imagination, they can usually be fixed to a stud using just a few nails or screws, and a little bit of wire. Curio cabinet installation is something most homeowners can handle, at least in terms affixing the cabinet to a stud. More complicated installation might require the services of a professional. Built-in curio cabinets are one interesting possibility to add a wrinkle to your cabinet.
Curio Cabinet Placement
On a similar note, curio cabinet placement is something that definitely boils down to personal preference. If you have a lot of space, you might consider putting the curio in a room that needs a touch of flavor. Those with limited space and no opportunity to create a built-in nook for curio cabinet placement could easily make use of a cabinet that hangs on the wall or a model that is designed to fit into a corner.

I'm thinking of putting my Curio cabinet in my entry hall. Wondering how that would work? I have an open floor plan & don't really have much wall space. This might be my only option
