The greatest benefit of taking a lump sum distribution from your 401(k) plan either at retirement or upon leaving an employer is the ability to access all of your retirement savings at once. The money is not restricted; you can use it however you see fit.ou can take a lump sum distribution from a previous employer's 401(k) plan up to the total vested account balance. After placing a distribution request, the plan sponsor or custodian sends a check directly to you, and the account is closed with the custodian.
When Did the Statue of Liberty Turn Green? Although the process of weathering that turned the copper covering of the 1886 Statue of Liberty from brown to its current green was gradual, color images indicated that the transformation was complete by 1920.
Copper turns green because of an oxidation reaction; that is, it loses electrons when exposed to water and air. The resulting copper oxide is a dull green. This oxidation reaction is the reason the copper-plated Statue of Liberty is green rather than orange-red. According to the Copper Development Association, a weathered layer of copper oxide only 0.005 inches (0.127 millimeters) thick coats Lady Liberty.
