chair and a very small smile appears on his face. He acknowledges a friend who’s watching. I feel sick. Poker commentators refer to sort of situation as a “throw up” spot. I think about the decision for a while, and eventually decide that, since my opponent is a good player, it’s more likely that he’s trying to induce a call rather than a fold. I have competing instincts in this hand: I want to fold to stay alive in the tournament, but I realise there’s a good chance he’s bluffing. Further, I have a slight premonition of him showing his cards if it’s a bluff. (If I fold he does not have to show his cards). Finally, I fold, and he turns over the bluff - 72 of diamonds - and everyone gasps. I leave to get a cup of coffee feeling like quite the donkey. People tell me not to worry about is as I pass. Soon after, I read a very interesting book on poker tells, and discovered that the “little smile” is indeed a common tell for a big bluff. This has proven useful in a number of occasions, as a checklist of things to look for when I suspect a…

Above the hallway there are signs that say Poplar Bluff Mules class of 2022 or 2021. These are the years that these students will graduate from Poplar Bluff high school. The teachers even have found ways to incorporate the Mule with…

causes obstruction. The force of the wind exerts pressure on any object it comes across. The variation of this pressure has varying effects on types of objects. According to aero-dynamics, the objects which come across the wind are classified as bluff bodies and stream-lined bodies. Bluff bodies are the ones with sharp edges and regular geometrical features. Stream-lined bodies are the ones which have a definite stream-line shape. Wind being a fluid, behaves differently when it strikes either…

Field Trip Critique of Yellow Bluff Fort The historical site that I decided to visit was Yellow Bluff Fort, Historic State Park. I chose to visit this site after I read the content in Module eight. Module Eight spoke about the battle between the Union Confederate navies at St. Johns Bluff which opened up the St. Johns River for use by the Union. Yellow Bluff Fort is actually located near the St. Johns River. The most amazing part about Yellow Bluff Fort is that it was an imperative position…

Laura Augustin’s ‘Sex at the Margins’ (2007), and Jerker Edstrom’s 2010 article ‘Time to Call the Bluff’ highlight similar barriers to effective development programs. Augustin challenges imperialism in international aid, particularly concerning prostitution. Her work discusses Western aid workers’ desire to impose their own morals and control those that they help, for example, determining what aid is received (Augustin, 2007). Edstrom notes similar issues within HIV/AIDS interventions:…

At Brookland-Cayce High School in Columbia, South Carolina, a 10th grade student contacted the principal of River Bluff High School.
