article: Skip cards force the player after you to lose their turn and are great to stop those with UNO from playing. Play one if the person next to you has UNO, skipping their turn and allowing the next person to play. It will also give you one more turn to play. When this happens and play returns to you, try another strategy or make sure you get rid of the card in your hand that is worth the most points.  Make sure you don't hold on to too many skip cards. Holding one or two can work in your favor, but stock piling them will add up to a lot of points if you're caught with them. They are worth 20 points each. If you are playing two player UNO, you can use your skips right away because it gives you another turn automatically. Just be careful to end on a skip that you can match. You don't want to have to draw cards because you can't match the color. It is advise-able to use the odd number which you think is not with the opponent. So, he will withdraw a card and if he did not get the card, the next turn is yours. Reverse cards change the direction of play. They can come in very handy when trying to manipulate game play, making it where the player with the least amount of cards doesn't have a chance to play. Use a reverse if the next player has fewer cards than you or has UNO. This takes away their turn and gives your fellow players a chance to make them draw cards.  If you are playing with two people, reverse cards act exactly like skip cards. In this instance, you can use the skip and reverse cards as early as you want. It's a great way to quickly reduce the number of cards you have in your hand. Make sure you don't hold on to too many reverse cards either. They are useful, but they are also worth 20 points each if you get caught with them. Wild cards change the color of game play. These can be very useful if the player after you has been on a streak with one particular color and is running low on cards. Play it to change the color to one that you think they might not have. You can also use these to change the color of play to a color that you have a lot of. This will help you get rid of more cards and help you win the hand. Don't stockpile these cards too much. They are worth 50 points each if you get stuck with them at the end of the round. Draw 2s are great cards to fill up the hands of those around you and ensure they can't win. If the player after you only has a few cards left, play a draw 2 in order to make them draw two cards. This will give you the advantage because they will have to draw cards and miss an opportunity to play a card as well. Wild draw 4s work in a similar way, but you can use them to your advantage by changing to a color that matches more of your cards. This way, you make the person after you draw more cards and you get the added bonus of playing more cards from your hand.  If you see the person that goes before you has only a few cards left, use a reverse and then a draw 2 or wild draw 4. Although they will be able to play one card, they will have to draw cards on their next turn, filling their hand back up and getting you closer to winning. If you want to stockpile a few of these to use at opportune times, try keeping draw 2s instead of wild draw 4s. If you are caught with a wild draw 4, it is worth 50 points, but the draw 2 is only worth 20.

article: If you know that dogs frequent a particular area, choose another path for your walk. This is especially important if the dogs are strays as they are more likely to be hungry or territorial.  While it's common for dogs to share walkways with people, think about how comfortable you are around dogs before you go to an area that is popular for dog walking. Dogs can sense emotions and will know if you're uncomfortable, which could trigger a stressed dog. Be on guard while walking on country roads. Unwanted dogs are often dumped in the country and left to fend for themselves, which leads to roaming dogs along country roads. Always carry a big stick and other protective items such as a stun gun while walking alone on a country road. If you are going on a walk to explore a new area, ask the locals about the likelihood of dog encounters. Dogs roam in packs in some countries or rural areas, so get information about how to stay safe before you go exploring. Dogs are very territorial and will aggressively defend their home. If you see a dog or know that a dog lives at a particular house, change up your route to avoid the dog. Large dogs can jump fences if they're agitated. If you see a dog that is walking near you or is engaged in an activity nearby, don't walk up on it. It's best to quietly walk in the opposite direction. Surprising a dog can make even the gentlest dog act out aggressively because it's afraid.

To operate a nonprofit, you'll need to raise funds. The first step to finding donors is to make an effort to cultivate public support for your organization. Here is where your mission statement and goals will come in handy.   Host a public meeting to talk about your organization's goals and plans. Advertise this meeting through press releases, newspaper articles, social media outreach, and paper advertisements. Explain what your organization hopes to accomplish and why at your first public meeting.  Develop an online presence. As you begin to publicize your nonprofit, it's vital to develop a web presence. You want people to be able to locate your website for more information. There are many sites that provide website templates and allow you to operate a website for free or a small price.  Create a mailing list. Compile a list of animal-loving friends and colleagues. Ask them to suggest additional people to add to your list. Ask people to provide their e-mail and physical address when hosting your first public meeting. When you begin setting out requests for donations, you'll have a list on hand to pull form.  Contact the media. Hit up local newspapers and radio or TV shows. Send out press releases. A short human interest interest segment on the nightly news can do wonders for gaining support for your organization. A membership program can help support operating costs of your nonprofit. Members are not the same thing as board members in that they do not get voting power. They are simply regular donors for the organization.   You can make your membership program as simple or complex as you want. Some membership programs offer benefits for members, like special prizes like tote bags or water bottles. Other nonprofits simply ask members to donate because they believe in the cause. How you execute a membership program is up to you.  To recruit members, send out pamphlets and other publications explaining what you're doing for animals and why. Explain any benefits or perks of membership. If you have different levels of membership (such as gold, silver, and bronze) explain what each level entails. Sometimes simple phone calls are a great way to raise funds. Have board members phone people on your mailing list and ask for donations. Keep in mind many people are wary about giving money over the phone, so prepare for setbacks and resistance. Once again, go to your mailing list. Use this to send out e-mails and letters asking for money. Have a simple means to donate online. A GoFundMe page can work well, as well as a section of your own website where people can easily donate. You can provide addressed envelops in letters so people can easily mail in checks to your organization. The first step to dealing with your organization's money is to establish some kind of accounting system. A good system will document income and expenses in easily understandable categories.   It's a good idea to hire a bookkeeper or accountant at this stage. If you do not have familiarity regulating money, a qualified accountant can help you decide how to allocate funds.  Create a budget. Based on your goals, needs, and current funds decide how the money you've earned will be allocated in the coming financial year. Once again, a qualified accountant or bookkeeper can help with this process.  Establishing an accounting system is vital to a nonprofit. Not only does it help board members have a clear understanding of how money is being spent, the IRS requires you put together a budget to prove your nonprofit status.
