  We Love Tiong Bahru

  Singapore Urban Sketchers

  Tiong Bahru is Singapore’s first public housing estate. Built in the 1930s by the Singapore Improvement Trust (SIT), the original 784 flats, 54 tenements and 33 shops housed over 6,000 people. 
  Its name is uniquely Singaporean— ‘tiong’ is Hokkien for cemetery and ‘bahru’ is Malay for ‘new’—a reference to the presence of a burial ground in the area before the SIT development. 
   
  The neighbourhood was known as a ‘den of beauties’ in its early years, reputedly because the rich housed their mistresses here. Some of the old remains: the characteristic balconies and staircases of the buildings; its neighbourly spirit; its smallness, which means everything is within walking distance. The return of trendy eateries and modish lifestyle stores has also restored somewhat the allure of its early glamour years.

  Good hearted Alex and her friend adventure-loving Steve are at it again, embarking on new and exciting exploits. The adventure begins when Steve asks Alex to check out his new, exciting railway that, once finished, *will take you anywhere you could want to go.* The railway is fun...until they wound up in the dessert getting *chased by spiders and pricked by cacti!* They also happen upon an old temple, with a sign, warning intruders to stay out. 
  After deciding the sign must be ancient, the duo hops down into the tower to explore various treasure traps that are down there. Suddenly – BOOM – a TNT trap has been set, leaving Alex and Steve running for their lives. 
  To Alex’s dismay, Steve has been off in the dessert again, scoping out the old temple. He sees a *mysterious stranger* in a robe leave the temple, making sure that nobody could see him in his travels. Well Steve saw him, and has a bone to pick with him if he were the one who set the trap. 
  The only problem is, Steve found potion bottles in the temple after the stranger left, confirming he is a wizard. And wizards can be dangerous. Will Steve convince Alex to take one last trip to the dessert to confront this Wizard? Will they stay safe? Time will tell when you read “Wacky Wizard” 
  A tale with too many twists and turns to count, “Wacky Wizard” will have any young reader captivated – even the ones that don’t like to read.

  Superman Is Jewish? - How Comic...

  Zeddy Lawrence once said, "It may not be true in all cases, but it's a pretty good rule of thumb. If the word 'man' appears at the end of someone's name you can draw one of two conclusions: a) they're Jewish, as in Goldman, Feldman, or Lipman; or b) they're a superhero, as in Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man."In Superman Is Jewish? Harry Brod reveals the links between Jews and superheroes in a penetrating investigation of iconic comic book figures. He describes how the role of each hero reflects the evolution of the Jewish place in American culture-an alien in a foreign land, like Superman; a figure plagued by guilt for not having saved his family, like Spider-Man; outsiders persecuted for being different (X-Men); a nice, smart guy afraid people won't like him when he's angry (the Hulk). Brod blends humor and sharp observation as he considers these well-known figures' overtly and discreetly Jewish characteristics and talks about how their creators-including Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby-integrated their Jewish identities and their creativity. His lively guided tour takes us from the Passover Haggadah's exciting action scenes of Moses's superpowers to acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winners and overseas animators.Brod has written and lectured extensively on this fun and provocative topic and through his expertise explores the deeper story of how one immigrant group can influence the larger culture through entertainment and, in the process, see itself in new, more empowering ways. Not just for comic book fans, Superman Is Jewish? is a story of America, and is as poignant as it is fascinating.

The source of their advanced weaponry: Stark Industries. Against such fearsome firepower, the city’s only hope lies with the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and with the ultimate human weapon: the golden avenger known as Iron Man.
