1908 MESSINA EARTHQUAKE MEDAL

December 28, 1908 from about 5:20 to 5:21 am an earthquake of 7.2 rs occurred
centered on the city of Messina, in Sicilly.


 Reggio Callabria on the Italian
mainland also suffered heavy damage.

The ground shook for some 30 to 40 seconds, and the destruction was felt within
a 300 km radius. Moments after the earthquake, a 40-foot (12 m) tsunami struck
nearby coasts causing even more devastation. 93% of structures in Messina were
destroyed and some 70,000 residents were killed. Rescuers searched through the
rubble for weeks, and whole families were still being pulled out alive days
later, but thousands remained buried there. Buildings in the area had not been
constructed for earthquake resistance, having heavy roofs and vulnerable
foundations.

Malta also suffered from an earth tremor and was then hit by a tidal wave caused
by the Messina earthquake. The King of Italy sought help from Britain and a
Field Ambulance section of RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps) with two members of
the QAIMNS (Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service) and a
Stationary Hospital were transported to Messina in Sicily by the Royal Navy.
They took with them ten days supplies and rations.

Once in Sicily the RAMC and the Queen Alexandra's Sisters cared for survivors of
the Earthquake on board HMS Minerva and HMS Duncan which were set up as dressing
stations. A Stationary Hospital was set up in nearby Catona in what was a market
place on the 2 January 1909. The QAs worked with two volunteer nurses from Malta
until the 15 January 1909 when all four nurses returned to Malta. There is more
written about the Messina Sicily Earthquake 1908 in the book Queen Alexandra's
Royal Army Nursing Corps (Famous Regts. S) by Juliet Piggott..

Effective dermaplaning wands
These razors work really well for removing my peach fuzz. I have a fuzzy chin and hair on my knuckles that’s hard to get off with a larger razor. These come in two sizes for precision dermaplaning. I apply some jojoba oil to my skin before dermaplaning and there is no irritation. I love the frosty translucent handles, they look clean and professional. There are twelve to a pack and they come in a little box to keep them all together. These are a great value for the quality.

Fast & Easy
These work really good. I have been waxing for over 20 years and I just wanted to try something new. This set comes with two different sizes. I used the large blade for my chin and lip. And the smaller blade for my eyebrows. The handle is sturdy and not flimsy. Comes with a case. I already stuck one of each in my travel bag!

work well + good value for the pack
Finally got a chance to try these recently. They're exactly like the ones I already had, that I paid a little more for. I think these are a good value and work pretty well - not as well as the better beauty store razors, but better than like dollar tree or something. I like the size of the handle. I consider them disposable, especially if you're using with a hair identifying powder spray or oil.

A Year of Easy Smoothness
I love that this set comes with 12 razors, giving me a full year of monthly replacements. The handle feels solid and comfortable to hold, and the different sizes are handy for both facial and eyebrow use. They glide smoothly and exfoliate gently without irritating my skin. My only minor complaint is that the blades aren’t as sharp as I expected, so I have to go over an area a few times to remove all the peach fuzz. Still, for the price and convenience, it’s great value for the money and makes skincare feel fresh and polished.

Love that they come in a plastic container
I prefer this brand of razors because they don’t have the line sections on the blade. They are very sharp! Be careful. I love how sharp it is because I don’t need to do double passing on my face, and I can be as light as a feather with it and know it’ll still work. It did not cause any skin irritation, and was great at removing the dead skin cells off the top layer of my face.
