... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Holidays Calendar explains our celebration of Avogadro's Number 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)
The word “Mole (unit of molecular quantity)” is built on the word Molecule. 
Referring to 'the growth on a human's skin,' Mole is built on ancient words that mean "to |Stain, |Soil, |Defile" (|Miasma). 
Referring to 'the burrowing mammal' (and 'the spy who infiltrates enemy offices'), Mole is built on ancient words that mean Earth-|Thrower (|Moldwarp, |Mold). 
Referring to 'the massive structure used as a breakwater,' Mole is built on ancient words that mean Mass, |Barrier (to Exert oneself, |Effort, |Hardly, |Scarcely, Weary, |Tired, Fatigued, Exhausted, Hard Work).

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 Scorpio (in the wake of Libra) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: director Sam Raimi, director Ang Lee, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, director Phillip Kaufman, Ryan Reynolds, Emilia Clarke, soccer-star Pele, Johnny Carson, Weird Al Yankovic, Michael Crichton, Dwight Yoakam, Meghan McCain, Barron Hilton, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Nancy Grace, Dr. Clarence Walton Lillehei (pioneer of open-heart surgery) ...

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
You can add
 your- or your friends'- or famous people (whom YOU
recognize)
 in the comments!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating Saint John of Capistrano and/or Blessed Virgin Mary, with the clergy wearing White Vestments for the Optional Memorials (Green Vestments otherwise)
