INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're aware that one of your dogs has any sort of medical problem that can be passed on to its offspring, you shouldn't breed it. Breeding a dog with medical problems will make sure those medical problems continue to cause problems for Labradors and their owners in the future. Some common Labrador health problems include: Joint problems like hip or elbow dysplasia Progressive retinal atrophy (a disorder that causes blindness). Cancer Even if you're not aware of your dog having any medical problems, it's still a good idea to have it screened. While your Labrador may be a purebred, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best breeding stock. This is because it could have serious medical issues that can be passed on to its offspring. To verify your dog is good breeding stock and doesn't have major hereditary problems, have it genetically screened. Some companies and organizations that conduct screening on Labradors include: The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals which will test for dysplasia Companion Animal Eye Registry which tests for hereditary eye problems OptiGen which tests for a variety of genetic disorders Tell your vet you're planning on mating your dogs. Let them know that you'd like them to check for any potential medical problems that could endanger the pregnancy or cause complications, and that you need your labradors to be up-to-date on their vaccinations. Ask them to run a blood test to check your dogs' blood sugar levels, blood cell counts, and more. This way, they'll be able to rule out problematic disorders like diabetes and Cushings. If your female dog has had complications with a prior pregnancy, you and your vet need to evaluate the risks of future pregnancies, which can include life-threatening injury and additional failed pregnancies. This is especially true if your dog delivered premature, had a miscarriage, or suffered prolong bleeding after a successful pregnancy.

SUMMARY: Avoid breeding Labradors with hereditary medical problems. Screen your Labradors for hereditary medical conditions. Take your Labradors to the vet for an examination before breeding. Talk to your vet if your Labrador had pregnancy complications in the past.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This can be solved by doing a quick search on the Internet or by talking to all your connections at your boxing club. When you're ready, your coach will likely let you know. You'll likely know, too. This step is more paperwork than anything. Visit USAboxing.org (if you're based in the US, of course) to get a list of information by state. Once you do this, you'll be able to find open events that you can participate in. You will do this by filling out an application and undergoing a physical examination from your doctor. This is done at the state level through the State Athletic Commission when it comes to the US. You will have to contact the necessary people to get your license to compete in events. There is a minimal fee and it varies by state. Other than that, it's just a bunch of forms and a physical assessment. These events are the way most fighters get their initial experience. The fights don't count towards your record, but are the safest and most practical way of getting experience. You'll be able to find them through connections and through your organization's website, which should post upcoming events. You'll be classed by age, weight, and record initially. You can be an amateur boxer in the US at just 8 years old! The difference between amateur and pro boxing is that you will be allowed to wear protective headgear. This is essential in the beginning stages of your fighting career in order to prevent potentially fatal injuries while you learn to protect yourself. Again, you will be placed according to your weight, age group and class, which will begin as "novice" if you're 17 or older. You'll start out in local and regional tournaments, with a long-term goal of competing in the U.S. Amateur Championships and earning a spot on the U.S. Boxing team. Some coaches are pretty sketchy. They'll encourage to fill a slot in a weight class just so you can get going and they can start profiting off of you. Don't do this sometimes it's just not healthy and your body will take to injury much more easily. Only compete where you feel comfortable, not where your coach says you should go. Think about where your weight normally stays around (provided it's consistent and you're fit, of course). You may be able to compete at about 5 pounds more or less than that, but anything greater will likely put strain on your body and be unhealthy. You're going to be facing really, really talented individuals. You think you're fit now, but you'd be surprised the strides your body can make, especially when it comes to endurance. At this level, here's what you should be capable of: Running 35 miles (4.88.0km) without getting too tired Jumping rope for 30 minutes straight Hitting the heavy bag for 15 minutes non-stop Being able to spar with any amateur from any gym (not including pro-level amateurs with over 100 fights) Sparring double the required rounds (amateur boxing is 3 rounds)

SUMMARY: Find your local amateur boxing organization. Register as an amateur boxer. Participate in unsanctioned boxing events. Begin your amateur boxing career. Don't just fill a vacant slot in a weight class. Get even more fit.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When a high concentration of dish soap is combined with water, it forms a catalyst bath for siliconeit allows the silicone to cure faster. In the large bowl, combine approximately 64 ounces of water with 4 ounces of blue dish soap. Mix the soap and water together with your hands. Use a pair of scissors to cut off the tip of the 100% silicone. Insert the bottle into a caulk gun. Empty enough of the 100% silicone into the catalyst bath to surround your master part. If you are unsure how much you will need, use the entire bottle of 100% silicone. Submerge your hands into the catalyst bath and slowly gather the strings of 100% silicone into a ball. Massage the ball with your fingers. Pull, stretch, and fold the 100% silicone as you knead it. Continue to knead the 100% silicone until it stiffens and becomes less malleable. Retrieve your master part. Carefully flatten out the 100% silicone so that it is inch thick. Cover the master item with the 100% siliconepress the 100% silicone into all of the knocks and crannies of the master part. Once you have formed the mold, attempt to wiggle the master item out and back into the mold. If you can easily achieve this, the mold is ready to cure. If you can not, reform or cut away parts of the mold. Applying a release agent to the master item will make it easier to remove from the mold. Pour soapy water onto a paper plate so that it just coats the surfacethis will prevent the silicone from adhering to the plate. Set your mold and master item onto the plate and allow it to cure for 1 hour. When the mold is no longer tacky to the touch, remove the master item. While the mold is curing, it is essential that the master item remain within the mold.

SUMMARY:
Create a catalyzing solution with soap and water. Catalyze the silicone. Knead the 100% silicone in the catalyst bath. Form the mold. Allow your mold to cure.
