Football Squares is meant to be a party game, so it’s best played as part of a football party. Throw the party at your home and invite all of your players. If anyone can’t make it, you can contact them via text or phone if they win the game. The numbers written into each square are meant to represent the last digits of each team’s final score for each quarter. For instance, imagine you have the Green Bay Packers written at the top of the board and the Texas Longhorns on the side of the board. During the first quarter, the Packers score a 10, while the Longhorns score 15. The winner for that quarter would have a 0 on the top half of their square, representing the Packers’ score. They would also have a 5 on the bottom half of their square, representing the Longhorns’ score. Always look at the last digits of both scores to determine a winner. Look at the last number for each score (for instance, the ‘9’ in ‘19’) and choose a winner whose numbers match up with the outcome. Award them their money (or another prize of your choosing) and congratulate them! Repeat with the winner of each quarter until the end of the game. There are 5 common options for prize distribution.  Give the winners of each quarter 25% of the cash prize.  Award the winners for the first 3 quarters 10% of the money. The winner of the last quarter gets the remaining 70%.  The winner of the first quarter gets 10% of the money. Give the winners of the second and third quarters 20%. Whoever wins the final quarter gets the other 50% of the cash prize.  Award the first 3 winners 15% of the prize. The last winner receives 55%. Give the first winner 10%, the second 20%, the third 30%, and the last winner 40%.

Q: Saffron has a flavor profile similar to vanilla: sweet and musky. The two typically work well together, but they are not similar enough to serve as strict substitutes for one another. Turmeric and safflower are often used instead of saffron to give foods a similar color, but the flavors are much different. . Harvesting saffron is a labor-intensive process, so if you want high-quality saffron, prepare yourself for an expensive purchase.  Examine the saffron before you buy it. Good saffron consists of fine, evenly sized threads that are deep red in color with an orange tendril on one end and a trumpet-shaped flute on the other. If the tendril looks yellow, the saffron is likely real but of slightly poorer quality. Additionally, a stronger scent also indicates a stronger, better flavor. In comparison, fake saffron may look like shredded, irregular threads with disconnected tendrils and pieces of bark mixed into the package. The scent may not be very strong and usually smells like bark. Simply put, whole saffron has a stronger flavor than ground saffron. Ground saffron can be a good substitute if you cannot find or afford the whole spice, though. If you do decide to buy ground saffron, go through a reputable spice seller. Less honest sellers may cut saffron with other spices, including turmeric and paprika, to reduce the overall cost. Saffron doesn't spoil, but it will gradually lose its flavor in storage. Proper storage can preserve the saffron for longer periods, however.  Wrap the saffron threads in foil and place them in an airtight container. Store them in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. For longer storage, keep the container of saffron in your freezer for up to 2 years. Note that ground saffron should be used within 3 to 6 months and stored in an airtight container and a cool, dark place.
A: The colour of red saffron doesn't change if you dip in water or milk. Get what you pay for Opt for whole saffron instead of ground. Store the saffron carefully.

Article: If you stumble upon an artist with work that you’re interested in, contact them via email or show up at a gallery opening and tell them that you’re interested in potentially buying their work. They’ll likely have more work that they’d be able to show you, and you’ll be able to learn more about a specific piece that you’re interested in buying.  Most artists have personal websites where they showcase and sell their work. Some artists will be resistant to working with a buyer that wants to buy their art as an investment, especially if they’re well-established in their field. Many established artists have representatives and agents that deal with potential buyers. If you know an artist is being represented, contacting them directly can come off as an insult to the artist. Gallery owners make a living buying and selling art. They are likely to be regularly purchasing or soliciting investable art. Ask gallery owners to keep an eye out for work that you might be interested in buying. You’ll be the first person they call when they come across a potential investment. Evaluators are professional appraisal experts, and their estimates hold quite a bit of weight when it comes to selling or buying art. A professional evaluation will put potential buyers at ease, since they’ll know that they aren’t overpaying for a work. Inversely, a professional evaluation will let you know whether or not a potential purchase is worth considering at its available price. Most galleries and studios have specific evaluators that they work with. Ask about evaluations when inquiring about a piece’s price. Gallery owners will appreciate the ability to offer a piece to their clients before you put it on the open market without their assistance. Apart from being a courtesy, it’s possible that the original gallery owner will have buyers readily available for you, since they’re in contact with other people that are likely to have the same tastes in art. An easy way to test whether an evaluation is accurate or not is to try listing the work online for a price higher than its been evaluated at. You may be able to get a higher price than you’d expect by using a non-traditional venue to sell your work. This will also give you a sense if the original appraisal is an accurate representation of what a piece of art is worth at the current moment. Lumas, Society 6, SaatchiArt, and Artfinder are all reputable online venues to sell works of fine art. If the international market takes a dip during a recession or slow period, don’t lose your cool. The market for fine art can be fickle, but that doesn’t mean that you should sell at the first sign of trouble. Fine art is usually a long-term investment, and you should generally hold on to assets during tumultuous periods in the market. If you haven’t gotten an evaluation that you’re happy with and the market isn’t particularly strong, hold on to your investment. Holding on to an asset is the best way to let it appreciate over time, especially if you’ve got your hands on a piece created by an up-and-coming or well-established artist.  It can take time for a work to appreciate in value, so be patient! You may end up waiting for quite some time if you want to get high prices for your work, so don’t buy a piece expecting to always sell it off right away.
