King, Jack

There are four different ways to draw a royal flush in poker—an ace, king, jack, queen, and ten, all from any one of the four suits. To compute the probability, you need to know how many five-card hands there are in a deck of 52 cards. Use the barrel metaphor put the 52 cards in the barrel. On the first draw, there are 52 possibilities. On the second draw, there are 51 possibilities, etc. In five draws, there are... 

The right-hand card was from the minor arcana, the jack of swords as the snare to avoid. I have known that card to refer to me, which made no sense in this context, but it can also mean my old foe, Filiberto Vasco, the vizio —the king of swords would imply his superior, Missier Grande. I had no need of tarot to warn me to beware of Vasco. If he as much as caught me wearing a sword after dark he would turn me in to the night watch.

Nortbem jack pine populations were more susceptible to tbe eastern pine sboot borer (King, 1971 Jeffers, 1978 Hodson et al, 1982, 1986). Jeffers (1978) observed that incidence was correlated with length of the terminal shoot during the period of borer oviposition in May, with longest terminals having highest incidence and shortest terminals the lowest. Source variabibty was also described for resistance to the northern pitch twig moth, but was not related to latitude (Hodson et al, 1982, 1986). 

Jack pine needlecast fungus ranges from Wisconsin to Nova Scotia. Source differences were found in susceptibility to it, and consistent over years and across sites, when tested in the Lake States (King and Nienstaedt, 1965). The most resistant jack pine populations were from Lower Michigan, the least resistant from northeastern Minnesota.
