#DidYouKnow that #July30 is also #HappyBirthday to #ArnoldSchwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger & #DerekWaters @derekwaterss & the WHOLE #BirthdayCohort of #WhistleblowersDay @Wikipedia | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -of 'whichever of these holidays & or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Your Fellow Internet-Users explain an act of Congress that protects the #whistleblower in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
A |Whistleblower| is a person, usually an employee, who |exposes |information or |activity within a private, public, or government organization ... |activity that is deemed illegal, illicit, unsafe, or a waste, fraud, or abuse of taxpayer |funds---the word obviously a combination of Whistle & Blower (as a Referee is when a player Violates the Rules of the Game).
#BlowTheWhistle
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Leo ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Vivica A. Fox, Tom Green, director Richard Linklater, Derek Waters (DRUNK HISTORY-an), Lisa Kudrow, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher Nolan, Terry Crews, Yvonne Strahovski (CHUCK's undercover girlfriend), Laurence Fishburne, Henry Ford, Hilary Swank, Paul Anka, Jaime Presley, Jean Reno, Delta Burke, Emily Bronte, Frank Stallone, comedian GloZell Green ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
about them) in the comments, thanks)
