Today
is Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s birthday, She was an American lawyer who
served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States from 1993 until her death in 2020. 10 quotes from her:
- Fight
for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will
lead others to join you.
- Real
change, enduring change, happens one step at a time.
- I
am a very strong believer in listening and learning from others.
- Whatever
you choose to do, leave tracks. That means don’t do it just for
yourself. You will want to leave the world a little better for your
having lived.
- I
just try to do the good job that I have to the best of my ability
and I really don't think about whether I'm inspirational. I just do
the best I can.
- When
contemplated in its extreme, almost any power looks dangerous.
- Reacting
in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade.
- Reading
is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading
shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come
true.
- So
often in life, things that you regard as an impediment turn out to
be great, good fortune.
- Women
belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be
that women are the exception.

Birthday
Roman
Candle, aka Cyprius Melville. He believes he is the reincarnation of
a Roman general, and became obsessed with the Roman period of history
and studied it extensively. His obsession reached a point where he
would dress as a Roman soldier every day. This was seen by the
authorities as a mental illness, and Melville was forced into
treatment and to take medication for his “condition”, which made
him angry as he didn’t believe he was sick. He found a home with
the band of Villains called the Gunpowder Lot, who allowed him to be
himself. He has the ability to fly and create repulsion and stun
beams; the origin of his powers is unknown. He is also an expert
sword fighter. Find him in Who's That Girl?

Matt Webster lives in a tower block and attends a failing school. He dreams of being a spy like James Bond. Little does he know that he is being watched by someone who can make him into even more than that – a superhero.
His first solo mission is to attend a ball at the Decembrian Embassy and discover who is planning to steal a priceless diamond. While there, he meets the mysterious Lady Antonia du Cane, and is powerfully drawn to her. It soon becomes clear, however, that Lady du Cane is not what she seems. Matt’s quest to discover who she really is almost costs him his career.
A modern day Guy Fawkes gathers a coterie around him with the aim of blowing up Parliament with a nuclear bomb. To achieve this, they need money. Lots of it. Selling the Heart of Decembria Diamond will provide more than enough. All that stands in their way is the Freedom League – but the League is beset by internal disagreements. Can the heroes put their differences aside in time to save the day?
