Sarah (7798 KP) rated Wunderlist: To-Do List & Tasks in Apps

Great for organisation
If you'e anything like me and are pretty forgetful but crave organisation, then this is a perfect app. It completely removes any need to have old fashioned paper lists and gives you an easy to use list function.
It's easy to create and amend lists, easy to add items and even to share with other people. I use this all the time for my weekly shopping list and I couldn't live without it, it's so easy to use on the move.

David McK (3425 KP) rated Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) in Movies
Dec 10, 2019 (Updated Sep 25, 2022)
"Your mission, should you choose to accept it …"
Tom Cruise's 5th outing as IMF (no, not the International Monetary Fund) agent Ethan Hunt, with the star risking life and limb in a film series that, improbably, each seems to be better than the last (with, maybe, a slight blip for M:I 2).
Disavowed by a government oversight agency, Hunt is on the track of a mysterious anti-IMF organisation known only as The Syndicate (with that organisation previously hinted at in earlier movies) and first encountering Ilsa Faust, eventually culminating in a show-down in London.
Well worth a watch.

I am so happy that I was among the first ones to have the chance to read this book.
Since I am working in a big organisation, as an administrator, I find myself into various situations constantly. Me and my team often find mistakes that are in the system, which makes it not work - or BONKERS :D
This book helped me understand how things (don't)work in an organisation, and how to realise that, get over it, understand it, and start using it in your advantage.
It's a wonderful book full of examples that I could relate to, making you realise that all big organisations work in a different - but also same way, and they all have their gaps full of bonkers.
I would definitely recommend it to every person working in a big organisation, to every person curious about big organisations, to every person that wants to become a leader and learn a few tips and tricks, to every person that loves learning.

David McK (3425 KP) rated Cape Storm (Weather Warden, #8) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
At the end of the previous book in the Weather Warden series (<i>Gale Froce</i>), Joanne - and, by extension, the entire organisation - had gone public with their powers over the forces of nature.
Not only that, but she had also got married to her Djinn lover David. On the minus side, however, she has also had a Demon Mark latched onto her, by her old nemesis 'Bad Bob' Beragnine (sp?).
This novel picks up from the end of that, with the warden organisation out to hunt down Bad Bob while a storm is about to lash the coast of Florida (nature doesn't like being messed with), and while Joanne must try to stop herself from going to the 'dark side'.

Leah (: (569 KP) rated Created (Talented Saga book 4) in Books
Aug 23, 2018
This is the fourth book in the series and as one acronym’d organisation dies another appears to take its place.
Talia and Erik continue to mature as individuals and together as a couple. It appears they are tired of being told what to do and are going to try and make their own decisions and right and wrong and what needs to happen in their world.
We get more answers in this book, however we still don’t know what will happen in the future.

Trello - lists, collaboration, it does it all
Trello is a tool that can be used to do multiple tasks. You can use it to organise multiple tasks, assign people to tasks, create lists and much more. I used trello to organise/ assign the work load of a small team of technicians. I have also used it to keep track of my day to day in a sales role and plan the progress of a book I am trying to write.
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Kong: Skull Island (2017) in Movies
Apr 14, 2017
In the final days of the Vietnam War, secretive organisation Monarch secures government funding to lead an expedition to a recently discovered island in search of new species. And they find them. Boy, do they find them.
Critic Review By Jonathan Pile - Empire
Original Score: 3 out of 5
Excerpt:
Two films in to the MonsterVerse and it’s been a mixed start — both Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island fumbling the human characters, but nailing the kaiju. There’s potential, it’s just yet to be fully realised.

Great all star cast film
One of those films with a massive all star cast. A group of friends who come together during World War one run into each other again in the 30s when two of them are accused of Murder. However there seems to be a secret organisation at work trying to affect the Politics of the US.
One you need to have your brain switched on for to follow a busy plot with twists and turns. Worth watching to see the talent on show starring together.

"Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Taking that maxim to heart, the third novel in Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series picks up from where the second - 'Heat Stroke' - left off. Set primarily in and around Las Vegas, this novel introduces a new organisation - the Ma'at - and also refers back to previously unmentioned events in Joanne's life. I also reckon you would need to have read the previous novels to get the full import of what is happening, what the occassional reference to events in those novels.
While still an enjoyable read, this also didn't quite grab me as much as the previous two in the series.
