When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

In today’s podcast, we feature two fans of the Pokémon TCG (trading card game), Alistair and Raja, who will be opening their Pokémon Prismatic Evolution ETBs (Elite Trainer Boxes) to give us a Pokémon cards opening experience. These ETBs are the main cause of the long queues at Jewel Pokémon Centre in Singapore, where police had to be called in to maintain order and ensure the public’s safety.

The ETBs contain cards from the new Pokémon Scarlet and Violet card series, and this unboxing episode includes the opening of a Prismatic Evolution God Pack, which contains some of the rarest cards with the lowest pull rates.

A Viewer Asked Us: ‘Who Should Control My Life If I Can’t?' 30:46

7 days ago30:46

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) and why do all working adults need it ASAP? If both spouses die simultaneously without writing a will, whose parents will the assets be distributed to? Can money and inheritance really tear apart a “perfect”, loving family? In today’s podcast, we take a deep dive into why you NEED an LPA as a working adult and why it is a key component of retirement planning, financial planning and estate planning. We also share our own take on a viewer’s dilemma about who to appoint as the donee and executor of her LPA and will—her older child, who has different values when it comes to money, or her younger child, who tends to be more reliable but lacks financial knowledge. We discuss some of the key considerations, including the pressure it places on the donee to manage the inheritance prudently, the effects money could have on relationships between family members, and the option to distribute the LPA to both parties to minimise conflict. What would you do if you were the donor? Share your thoughts in the comments section below! 🧠 LPA definition from HealthHub: A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) allows you to appoint someone you trust to make decisions and act on your behalf if you lose the mental ability or mental capacity to make decisions for yourself, like in the event of a stroke, mental illness or accident. It gives you and your loved ones certainty and peace of mind. #lastingpowerofattorney #lpa #willwriting #wills #trusts #financialplanning #estateplanning #legacyplanning #retirementplanning #personalfinance #singapore #dailyketchup #trending Hosted on Acast.
