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..

Just lovely
Size: 8.5" x 5.8" x 1.9", Color: Orange
Purchased this several months ago and liked it, but I had received so many complements on this tray since then I had to submit this review. The tray is sturdy and put together well, and the size is exactly what was given before purchase.

Easy to place on remote, and stays secure
Color: Blue Glow
I purchased this remote cover to replace an older one that has become stretched out and doesn't stay on the remote anymore. This cover is of good quality, and fits well on the apple remote. The pretty blue color is nice and easy to see. It does glow a typical green color in the dark making it easier to spot at night. The silicone material helps to keep the remote from slipping from your hand or across the table or countertop. I love that it also keeps the remote from being damaged, should someone accidentally drop it.

I should have bought this years ago
Color: Glow White
One of the best items to invest in. I wish I would have known this was available before I dropped my Apple TV remote. I've never liked how small and thin the remote was. It's difficult to grasp and slips out of my hand regularly. It finally hit the tile floor on the corner with enough force to crack it but thankfully it still works. Once I saw this cover I immediately had high hopes. It slips right on and stays on. It gives the remote some much needed bulk. It's been a week and I haven't dropped it yet! Like others have stated, the Glow in the Dark "feature" is pretty nonexistent, so don't rely on that as your deciding factor. Just choose the color you like. My only negative experience, which I don't really blame on this cover is the lack of finger contact near the upper corners of the touchpad that controls the "jump forward 10 sec" while using PLEX media. The cover needs to grab those corners to stay on and I think the manufacturer did about as good a job as possible to keep the edges tight. The cover is just thin enough to allow my fingertip to push toward the edge to trigger a touchpad response. It takes a little getting used to but it works. I NEVER liked the Apple touchpad sensitivity/control on any setting so I blame the lack of control on Apple. I wish I had ordered the cover multi-pak just in case the corners wear out over time. But for now, I couldn't be happier with the results. I wish I knew it existed years ago.
