Did you know?
Today we sing Happy birthday, Lady Liberty! The old girl of New York harbor is celebrated on what is the 130th anniversary of her arrival in the Big Apple on June 17, 1885. According to the National Park Service, she arrived to "great fanfare" and was even greeted by then-President Grover Cleveland. Although, despite the "fanfare," the pedestal wasn't yet completed and the parts of the statue that were shipped over had to remain on Liberty Island, then Bedloe's Island, until the stage was completed and she could be displayed.In 1878, having just been completed, in part by its designer Frederic Auguste Bartholdi., the statue in their write-up on the doodle as "more than just a symbol of solidarity. It’s a reminder that all countries thrive on the exchange of ideas and culture. The National Park Service's dedication to maintaining and restoring the statue ensures that message will live on." In total, there were 350 pieces packed into over 200 cases sent from France of the statue.

The importance of properly using extension cords
When used and cared for properly, they can be a convenient and safe solution to a temporary electrical need. Safe usage also involves acknowledging they are a temporary solution, and not meant to be used as a long-term ‟extensionˮ of your household’s electrical system.
The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) offers the following tips to help avoid electric shock and electrical fires1:
• Don’t overload extension cords.
• Don’t substitute extension cords for permanent wiring.
• Don’t run extension cords through walls, doorways, ceilings or floors. If the cord is covered, heat cannot escape, which may result in a fire hazard.
• Never tape extension cords to floors or attach them to surfaces with staples or nails.
• Don’t use an extension cord for more than one appliance.
• Make sure the extension cord or temporary power strip you use is rated for the products to be plugged in.
• For outdoor projects, use only extension cords marked for outdoor use. If you are using them outdoors, do not allow them to run through water or snow on the ground.
• Don’t use an extension cord that has a lower wattage rating than that of the appliance or tool you are using with the cord.
• Never use a cord that feels hot or is damaged in any way. Touching even a single exposed strand can give you an electric shock or burn.
• Use extension cords with polarized and/or three-prong plugs.
• Never remove an extension cord’s grounding pin in order to fit it into a two-prong outlet.
• Buy only cords approved by an independent testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL), ETL-SEMKO (ETL) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA).
A temporary solution
Remember, extension cords are a temporary wiring solution and are not a substitute for permanent wiring. If you find you’re using them on a permanent basis, consider updating your home’s electrical system.
