Suit (cards)
In playing cards, a suit is one of the categories into which the cards of a deck are divided. Most often, each card bears one of several pips (symbols) showing to which suit it belongs; the suit may alternatively or additionally be indicated by the color printed on the card. The rank for each card is determined by the number of pips on it, except on face cards. Ranking indicates which cards within a suit are better, higher or more valuable than others, whereas there is no order between the suits unless defined in the rules of a specific card game. In most decks, there is exactly one card of any given rank in any given suit. A deck may include special cards that belong to no suit, often called jokers. While English-speaking countries traditionally use cards with the French suits of Clubs, Spades, Hearts and Diamonds, many other countries have their own traditional suits. Much of central Europe uses German suited cards with suits of Acorns (Clubs), Leaves (Spades), Hear ...

List Of Barley-based Drinks
Barley, a member of the grass family, was one of the first domesticated grains in the Fertile Crescent and drinks made from it range from thin herbal teas and beers to thicker drinkable puddings and gruels. Barley has been used as a source of fermentable material for beer for thousands of years and whiskey for centuries. Barley beer was probably one of the first alcoholic drinks developed by Neolithic humans. More recently, it has been used as a component of various health foods and drinks. In 2016, barley was ranked fourth among grains in quantity produced (141 million tonnes) behind maize, rice, and wheat (all of which are used for beer).
