The Art Newspaper's digital editor Alexander Morrison is in Basel for the annual Art Basel fair. He talks to our art market editor, Kabir Jhala, about the atmosphere at the fair after a long downturn in the art market and underwhelming auctions last month in New York. While some major museums around the world would rather avoid the topic of returning objects acquired in the colonial period to their countries of origin, The Wereldmuseum in Amsterdam is attempting to get on the front foot, with an exhibition called Unfinished past: return, keep, or...? One notable aspect of the show is that it is not presenting any human remains. Ben Luke speaks to our correspondent in the Netherlands, Senay Boztas, about the future of human body parts in Dutch museums. And this episode's Work of the Week is Untitled or Not Yet (1966) by Eva Hesse, which is in a new exhibition at The Courtauld in London, called Abstract Erotic. The exhibition unites Hesse with fellow sculptors Alice Adams and Louise Bourgeois. Ben talks to Jo Applin, the co-curator of the show.Art Basel continues until Sunday, 22 June.Unfinished Pasts, Wereldmuseum, Amsterdam, until 3 January 2027.Abstract Erotic: Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Alice Adams, The Courtauld, 20 June-14 September; Louise Bourgeois: Drawings from the 1960s, the Courtauld, 20 June-14 September.Summer subscription offer: get up to 50% off an annual print & digital subscription to The Art Newspaper. https://www.theartnewspaper.com/subscriptions-SUMMER25P&D?promocode=SUMMER25&utm_source=special+offer+banner&utm_campaign=SUMMER25 Hosted on Acast.

She has arranged nine marriages but personally keeps romance at arm's length after a messy break-up. Things change for the “eternal bachelorette” when she meets wealthy charm-bomb Harry Castillo, played by Pedro Pascal. As romance blossoms, Lucy's life is upended by the return of her broke ex-boyfriend, John, played by Chris Evans, forcing her to choose between a perfect match and her imperfect ex.

This episode features Andrew Bartolini of Ardent Partners discussing the 2025 State of ePayables report. While accounts payable (AP) has advanced over the past two decades, full automation is still uncommon. Key findings highlight the need for alignment between AP, procurement, and treasury, the underreported fraud risks, and AI's growing impact.

A routine spa day flips paranormal when the masseuse pauses mid-rub, senses hidden fears about a looming MRI, and calmly announces she's psychic. Details spill out about a friend killed in a car crash, a family line of “seers,” and a gift the client insists she doesn't have—until every light in the room dies without anyone near the switch. Back home, dread pools in the dining room, whispers echo through empty halls, and a sister casually confirms the family's second sight. This is a daily EXTRA from The Grave Talks.

In our following after Jesus, there comes a time in which we will wrestle with spiritual complacency. In this series we will dive into Philippians 3 to discover how Paul encourages us to wage war against settling for less in our walk with Jesus.

In Acts 28:16–31, we are reminded that we are still “Facing a Task Unfinished;” a task that is as urgent and important as in the time of Paul.

"Unfinished business? I have no unfinished business. I have my treasure, my mansion, I have everything. I'm just perfect!” We watched “Casper” with the hilarious Michael Valvo and we've got a lot of unfinished business! Let's face it, this movie was an awakening for a lot of people. We all either wanted to be best friends with or just wanted to be Christina Ricci in this movie. Christina was the epitome of ‘90s middle school coolness and as Kat Harvey she is cool goals, and Bill Pullman as her dad Dr. Harvey makes us feel some type of way, as always. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten about one Mr. Devon Sawa - the human incarnation of Casper that launched countless little girls and queer boys into an absolute tizzy. And yes, Cathy Moriarty as the one and only Carrigan Crittenden is the ornery, French-tipped, bleach-blonde, smoker-voiced vamp we all aspire to be. Even her ghost has acrylics!  Thanks for listening and don't forget to subscribe, rate and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

4/27/2025 Rev. Paul Bang Nehemiah 6:15-7:4 15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. 16 And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God. 17 Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them. 18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah: and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah as his wife. 19 Also they spoke of his good deeds in my presence and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to make me afraid. 7 Now when the wall had been built and I had set up the doors, and the gatekeepers, the singers, and the Levites had been appointed, 2 I gave my brother Hanani and Hananiah the governor of the castle charge over Jerusalem, for he was a more faithful and God-fearing man than many. 3 And I said to them, “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are still standing guard, let them shut and bar the doors. Appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, some at their guard posts and some in front of their own homes.” 4 The city was wide and large, but the people within it were few, and no houses had been rebuilt.

Three Ways to Handle Unfinished Work - Mike CohnOver the past three weeks, I've been sending you tips about spillover on agile teams. We've talked in depth about the problem of habitual spillover—when a team routinely rolls unfinished work forward from sprint to sprint.This week, I want to share 3 ways to handle the unfinished work that will occasionally be left over by even a great agile team. 1. If You Want a Guarantee, Buy a ToasterMy first bit of advice for how to handle unfinished work is to remember that even the best agile teams sometimes miss their goals. That's OK and even desirable to a certain extent.Sprint goals are not guarantees. (As Clint Eastwood's character Nick Pulovski says in The Rookie, “If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster!”) Leaders, stakeholders, and even the team themselves might need an occasional reminder about this.A team's commitment to a sprint goal is a promise to do its best to achieve that goal. If team members are perpetually forced instead to make a guarantee, they will guarantee less in order to be safe.Sometimes a team needs to make a guarantee. There might be times when a client or customer needs a capability by a certain date. The finance group may need to run year-end reports in early January, for example.In general, though, we don't want to force a team into a guarantee. We ask a team to commit to something reasonable and then we're understanding if they miss it. Falling short on the occasional commitment is not a failure-–it's usually a sign of bad luck or a team that's striving to do too much. 2. Don't Roll Work Forward AutomaticallyMy second bit of advice is to resist the urge to automatically roll over the unfinished work into the next sprint. Put it in the product backlog instead.The item may be back on the product backlog for a millisecond, but there should be a conscious decision by the product to continue work on it.(Logistically, I don't care if it's easier in your tool of choice to move the item to the next sprint rather than to the product backlog first. The key is that there is a decision to continue the work.)If the product owner decides the team should work on the partly finished item immediately in the next sprint, bring in the product backlog item as is. Don't re-estimate it. Don't rename it. Don't take partial velocity credit. Just bring the item into the next sprint and take the full velocity credit when it's complete.But if the item is deferred for later, go ahead and split the story into what makes sense. Take partial velocity credit for the work you completed last sprint, then write a new story that describes only the missing functionality and estimate that story. 3. Document the CauseMy final bit of advice for dealing with unfinished work is this: Whenever work is unfinished at the end of a sprint, the team should take time in the retrospective to consider whether it was preventable.Sometimes unfinished work is just bad luck or bad timing, such as a team member being ill or a problem being found late in the sprint that could not have been found earlier. Sometimes it's just the result of aiming too high for one sprint.But you might uncover something that is becoming a bad habit.Whatever the cause, it's always worth considering whether something can be done to prevent it from affecting future sprints so that your team can succeed with agile.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

What happens when we lose our loved ones before we lose them? This happens to so many of our families. Our loved one experiences a slow decline, cognitively, or physically, that takes place over years that feels like forever. The decline crowds out earlier chapters.Our mother has not been herself for so long I can't even remember what she used to be like.It's been so long since my father was who he really was, I can't remember him before his dementia set in.What do we do with this pain when we lose our loved ones before we lose them?We are about to say Yizkor. Yizkor offers us a poignant way to flip the script.It is true that we sometimes lose our loved ones before we lose them. But because of Yizkor, it is also true that after we lose our loved ones, we still have them.

I've been working with moms for years, helping them plan weeks they can win. One of the biggest challenges I see is what happens when you get to the end of the week with loads of unchecked tasks still on your list. In this episode, I'm sharing a brand new process (complete with a downloadable flowchart!) that I've been using for years but finally put down on paper.  This simple framework will help you: Process every unfinished task effectively at the end of the week Stop carrying over the same items week after week Know exactly where each task belongs in your planning system Set yourself up for a clean slate and a winning week ahead Whether you're using the Thriving In Motherhood Planner or your own systems, these principals will work for you! I walk through what to do with tasks that need to happen daily, weekly, or monthly, plus how to handle ideas that don't have deadlines but you don't want to forget. The goal isn't to do everything – it's to make intentional choices about what matters most and create momentum in your life by having weeks where you actually finish what you plan. Download the free flowchart HERE and start processing your own unfinished tasks today!

But he wasn't the only one with a story to tell.   We discuss Richard's experience writing The Horrors of Fox Hollow Farm: Unraveling the History & Hauntings of a Serial Killer's Home that he co-wote with the current owner of Fox Hollow Farm, Rob Graves.
