> 3 dayBetter than expected. This is a perfect set for those who are getting started with lashes. The assortment of lashes is grand, you can go for an everyday look, or a perfect night-time look. They look great. The glue is great. I love the mascara it came with, perfection. Plus the curler was a nice bonus. Very happy.

> 3 dayLove the product but was discontinued. I dont know why. I bought a different brand and got side effects. Hopefully, it will be back on the market soon!

> 3 dayI have been using this cover for 2 months now and it is wonderful! I get compliments regularly and it is so cozy and warm for baby. I probably would not have spent the extra money on a cover but I was able to borrow a friends chicco Carseat so I felt like it was ok since I hadnt spent money on an actual Carseat :)

Greater than one weekThick and top quality. We used these in bathroom, by the pool and on the beach. Washes well, color doesnt fade significantly after at least 10 washes. Try to find a sale, which happens often for Caters product. Otherwise kinda pricey for a towel.

> 3 daySo excited to get this in the mail today. Im a FTM who is cloth diapering, and while I havent actually used it yet, it is well made and exactly what I had hoped for in terms of size and materials- the lining seems great and the entire thing much sturdier than I expected! Cant wait to use this in my girls room!

> 3 dayAfter innumerable days searching for something not pink or purple, since its for my baby girl, I found this beautiful set. The picture does not make justice for the details found on the quilt and the bright colors the bedding actually has. Very lively. This crib bedding set is absolutely gorgeous!

> 3 dayI am in love with this! The stickers are super cute and the molang diary is really great quality. I plan on using it for university. I wanted to upgrade from the first version. It is much bigger and I like that it has a button closure

> 3 dayI bought this for a friend who just had a baby. Very high quality, great, soft fabric, and it will keep her little one cozy as the weather changes. Great buy and sizing was perfect.

Greater than one weekThese dummies are great for night time, as you can find them immediately in the dark without disrupting your little one by putting the light on, or by scratching around too much and waking your baby up. This came with a really convenient self sterilizer too, which you can put in the microwave. I highly recommend this product.
How An EPIRB or PLB Rescue Works
The Anatomy of a Rescue - Stage 1
When activated, EPIRBs and PLBs send a unique distress signal on the 406 MHz frequency to the Search and Rescue Satellites.
Each beacon is programmed with and sends a unique digital code called a HEX ID or Unique ID. The HEX ID identifies the type of beacon and, Search and Rescue use the HEX ID to identify the beacon registration information provided by the beacon owner.
This information can include: who the beacon owner is, the type of vessel the beacon is associated with (for EPIRBs), emergency points of contact, float plans, trip plans, and much more.
The Anatomy of a Rescue - Stage 2
After the satellite receives a beacon signal, it relays the signal to ground stations referred to as local user terminals (LUTs).
The LUT processes the data, computes the location of the distress beacon, and transmits a decoded alert message to its associated national Mission Control Center (MCC). This happens almost instantaneously after the initial beacon signal is received.
The Anatomy of a Rescue - Stage 3
The Mission Control Center then geographically sorts the data, and transmits a distress message to the closest appropriate SAR authority and another MCC if the beacon is registered to another country.
The RCC (Rescue Coordination Center) investigates the beacon alert and launches rescue assets to find the parties in distress.
Rescue Overview
- 406 MHz Distress Call Is Activated
- Search and Rescue (SAR) satellites forward distress signal down to earth Ground Stations
- Ground stations forward the distress to the Mission Control Centers (MCC)
- The MCC alerts the closest Rescue Coordination Centers (RCC)
- The RCC call emergency contacts and dispatch the closest SAR teams
- SAR teams arrive on scene and rescue survivors
- Worldwide – Over 48,000+ people rescued since 1982
- United States – 9,753 people rescued since 1982
