- 3632: Gangs
- ... disagree with some of, no actually a lot of the stuff I am about to say. Before I babble on about gangs I have to say one thing.

- ... here tonight, / You, my rose," (Line 1-2). Her poetry was not condemned by her society, although later scholars ridiculed it.

- ... even further to state that people rise to their own level of incompetence if they are not willing to learn new skills to fit the new job. The chart below is adapted from Louis Allen’s Theory of Operating Priorty. This chart graphically shows how the need for managing and supervising skills increases as you move up in an organization. As we rise further up the ladder in organizations, our responsibilities ... management, the more time you should spend in managing, planning, and leading tasks and the less time on operating tasks.
