But later that year, on August 31, he lost for the first time, in an eight round decision to Anthony Fletcher. On June 4, 1981, Bramble beat Ken Bogner by a knockout in seven rounds. In his fourth fight, Bramble faced the more experienced, fringe contender Jorge Nina, winning by a disqualification in the second round. Cotto was the guy who lost to the stars such as Floyd Mayweather, Canelo Alvarez, and Manny Pacquiao.Bramble began boxing professionally on October 16, 1980, knocking out Jesus Serrano in round one. Miguel Cotto was 20-6, with 16 KOs in world title fights.Ĭriticism: When Cotto fought the true greats of his era, he never won. Title Wins: Kelson Pinto (WBO 140 lbs), Carlos Quintana (WBA 147 lbs), Michael Jennings (WBO 147 lbs), Yuri Foreman (WBA 154 lbs), Sergio Martinez (WBC 160 lbs), and Yoshihiro Kamegai (WBO 154 lbs) Sad, that his prime was impacted by Antonio Margarito, who was caught with weapons in his handwraps, as Cotto would still go on to be great, but a bit of luster was lost in that bout – even after he avenged the loss. ![]() A good boxer, who started his career out with a huge knockout streak, leading to many different periods in his career. A boxing icon with iconic look and an iconic style. 05) Miguel CottoĪccomplishments: As big of a star as “Tito” Trinidad and Camacho, who fought all the greats of his era. Ortiz is 14-4, with 9 KOs in world title fights.Ĭriticism: He produced similar performances against great fighters to lower-tier fighters it is easy to overlook or sum up his career quickly because a lot of his fights looked very similar making him one of the hardest legends to watch. Title Wins: Kenny Lane (NYSAC 140 lbs), Joe Brown (WBA 135 lbs), (WBC 135 lbs), Ismael Laguna (WBA & WBC 135 lbs) Ortiz could do everything, but for that reason was not one of the more fun fighters to watch, as he didn’t have one trait that jumped out of the screen at you. ![]() When we think of the Puerto Rican boxing tropes, they started with Ortiz, and he fought in an era, where you just had to fight people. A major influence on fighters like Miguel Cotto and Wilfredo Gomez. ![]() 04) Carlos OrtizĪccomplishments: The first WBC lightweight world champion, a pioneer, and holds the most world title wins at lightweight at ten. “Macho Time” was one of the fastest fighters ever, but his vices outside of the ring took over at a certain point leading to a shortened prime, and one of which, not unlike Adrien Broner – when they left their prime, the guy we fell in love with, never came back. Title Wins: Carmelo Negron (NY Golden Gloves), Rafael Limon (WBC 130 lbs), Jose Luis Ramirez (WBC 135 lbs), Tony Baltaza (WBO 140 lbs), and Greg Haugen (WBO 140 lbs)Ĭriticism: What could have been. Camacho is the reason that New York City is veiwed as the venue for Puerto Rican boxers to this day. Camacho invented the ring walk, and was social media before social media. Prime Camacho was one of the five best Puerto Rican Fighters ever, but addiction hurt his career badly. 03) Hector CamachoĪccomplishments: One of the most colorful personalities boxing has ever seen. Title Wins: Dong Kyun Yum (WBA 122 lbs), Juan La Porte (WBC 126 lbs), and Rocky Lockridge (WBA 130 lbs)Ĭriticism: In hindsight I wish we could have gotten more of him at 122 lbs. A big reason was Salvador Sanchez is thought of so highly is because of his win over Gomez A three-division world champion that many consider the greatest super bantamweight of all-time was a master of turning defense into offense, and one of the biggest punchers in the lower weights. ![]()

The city is located where the Mississippi River flows into the Gulf of Mexico, so its residents have access to a rich variety of both saltwater and freshwater fish and shellfish. Seafood plays an important part in the cuisine of New Orleans. Soul food is very popular in New Orleans. It often features hearty, flavorful dishes made with economical ingredients. It is closely related to the cuisine of the Southern United States, but its origins trace back to West Africa. Soul food was created by the African-American descendants of slaves. While not always spicy, Cajun food is known for its unique use of many seasonings, including garlic, hot peppers, and filé powder. Cajun cuisine uses less fish and more shellfish, pork, and game than Creole cuisine. The Cajuns spoke their own dialect of French. Some of the Acadians settled in rural areas of southern Louisiana in the 1760s and 1770s. The Cajuns are descendants of the Acadians, French-Canadian colonists who were expelled from the Maritimes by the British. It tends to be hearty, rustic fare, complex in flavor but easier to prepare. Ĭajun cuisine is also based partly on French cuisine and also makes use of local ingredients such as onions, bell peppers, and celery. ![]() Creole dishes often include onions, bell peppers, celery, tomatoes, and okra. Like French food, it sometimes makes use of rich sauces and complex preparation techniques. It was also influenced by later immigrants from Germany, Italy (particularly Sicily), and other locations. Ĭreole cuisine is a fusion, unique to the New Orleans area, of French, Spanish, West African, and Native American cuisine. The Creoles, most of whom originally spoke a dialect of French, created a sophisticated and cosmopolitan society in colonial New Orleans. Some Creoles are people of mixed race who also have West African and Native American ancestry. The Creoles were the American-born offspring of these European settlers. Before Louisiana became a part of the United States in 1803, it was colonized for more than a century, first by France and then by Spain. Dishes invented in New Orleans include po' boy and muffuletta sandwiches, oysters Rockefeller and oysters Bienville, pompano en papillote, and bananas Foster, among others.Ĭreoles are descendants of the settlers in colonial Louisiana, especially New Orleans. Seafood also plays a prominent part in the cuisine. The cuisine of New Orleans is heavily influenced by Creole cuisine, Cajun cuisine, and soul food.

What you want is a school that can recognize advanced abstract reasoning skill in young children and a school that is Flexible. Remember that some local public district in the Chicago area have many gifted kids in them, and that a private school that markets itself to 'the gifted' may not have more advanced kids than your local public school. Some have above average athletic ability, and some have 'just' age-average. This is where the above 'age+3' analogy breaks down. Handwriting at age-average is totally normal for gifties - although there are a few who are well above average. Chicago also has 'Saturday enrichment classes' that might have kids who have 'playdate potential.' You might find that on a playdate with one of those children, your son looks like a completely different kid. If you compare how your son has done to the child in the thought experiment, you might decide he has above average 'friend-making' skills. How would an average 6 year old with average 'friend making' abilities do? Zoom forward in time 7 months and the situation is the same - how is our thought experiment child doing now? The teachers don't seem to recognize that her readiness to learn zone is 3 years advance of the other children so all the daily activities are appropriate to ND 3 year olds. Let's say that one of the more ND (normally developing) kids in his classroom, age 6, returns to school in September 2011 to find that she has been placed in a preK room with 3 year olds. ![]() Having an IQ that is 3 to 4 SD beyond the other kids isn't exactly like being 3 or 4 years older, but it is close enough for a thought experiment to get an example of what I mean from above. He may be above-average in ability, but be placed in a situation that even overcomes those 'above-average' skills. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to this conclusion when looking at the information you have presented. It seems that he has below-average ability to make friends. #104049 - 06/03/11 03:42 AM Re: interpret low digit span score on WISC IV We are also thinking of looking for a school where they may have special program for gifted children. Having read the forum for a few days now, would the discrepancy between VCI/PRI and WMI/PSD become some kind of "bottleneck"? It also seems making friends is not easy for some gifted children, right? As part of the WISC test, he also got scores on WIAT-II: Word Reading 117 and Math Reasoning 151. He basically reads a lot himself all the time and has a lot of math work from home. Other than this, he is doing well in school even though he says he learns little from school. The reason I did this private WISC testing is that my son does not have friends in school. ![]() But My son's handwriting is just average though. Thanks ukmum, I don't have specific concerns related to digit span right now. Otherwise finding academic peers amoung agemates can be tough. How are things going at school for your son? Does he have special educational needs due to his IQ strengths? There are a few school districts in the US where scores like your son's aren't unusual - a few. WMI and PSI are rather randomly distributed compared to VCI and PRI, which are felt to reflect intellectual strength.Īre you in the U.S.? If so I would apply to DYS program. But if you think you see an issue, tell us, and we'll help figure it out. I wouldn't worry about the Digit Span unless you are slapping your head and saying 'So that's why when I tell him to brush his teeth, change into pajamas, feed the dog, lay out clothing for the next day, read to his little brother, and go to bed, he always leaves one step out!' The reason I'm not so concerned is that the other WM scores are very high, and the Speed index is high as well. Did they tell you that your sons score is really unusually high? Also unsually well balanced for scores that high - even with the 'lowish' Digit Span. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Each faceless reduces overall intel point generation by 3/5/6/7% depending on difficulty (regardless of what job the faceless is doing).Įxample: A haven with six level-0 resistance members and one level-1 assigned to intel, plus a scientist liaison, generates 9 "points" per day. A scientist assigned as haven liaison adds an extra 20% bonus to the entire haven. A level-1 resistance member is worth 1.5 points, a level-2 is worth 2, and the Avenger scanning is worth 4. In the table below, a basic level-0 resistance member is defined as one "intel point" per day. The probability is based on the mission's "percent chance" stat, multiplied by the number of intel points collected past the required minimum. Once the minimum is reached there is a random chance (1/4 of discovery chance) to discover the mission at every update. A mission cannot be detected until you generate intel equal to the "required intel" value. The difficulty of discovering a certain type of mission is controlled by two numbers: "required intel" and "discovery chance". ![]() Each mission keeps a pool of collected intel points. These points are applied to undiscovered missions in the region at certain update intervals, currently 4 times a day (every 6 hours). Havens each generate "intel points" from having personnel assigned to intel gathering. A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created, not when it is discovered most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. The mission is not visible at this time the local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Missions spawn automatically as the days pass, and expire after a given window of time.
8/26/2023 0 Comments Closet shelf depth![]() In a typical shoe rack shelf, the space that a single pair of adult shoes will occupy is 12 inches or 30 centimeters. Most shoe racks will come from the smallest 18 inches, or 46 centimeters, to some, can even have a width of 30 inches or 76 centimeters. Shoe spacing in your shoe rack will ultimately depend on the wideness or the width of the one you are looking to buy. If you are looking to store shoe boxes on your shoe rack, this depth might work too, although you can always go for bigger sized ones. Although, if you are looking for standard ones, the typical shoe rack shelf depth of 13 inches or 33 centimeters will be enough for every user in the household, from kids to adults. Ideally, a shoe rack’s depth should consider and follow the size of a person’s shoe. There are two-story shoe racks with a height of 17 inches or 43 centimeters, while three-story shoe racks made with a combination of wood bed and metal frames usually have heights of 33 inches or 84 centimeters. The height of your shoe rack will depend solely on how many shelves you want your shoe rack to stack. There are also various styles and types to choose from, making setting a standard size difficult across brands. ![]() Shoe Rack HeightĮvery shoe rack is unique to each other, meaning that one shoe rack can easily have different dimensions to the next. ![]() The standard size of a shoe rack is made to fit in spaces that are 18″, 24″ or 30″ wide.
