Article: In most cases, the pipe should measure 4in (10cm) in diameter. Jot this measurement down for reference when you go to buy the new flange. If you're able to take the old flange with you to the hardware store, this measurement is largely for backup purposes. However, if the old flange has broken into pieces, you'll definitely need this measurement. Find a new flange that replicates the size and shape of the old one as closely as possible. This way, you'll be sure of a solid fit. If you can't find a good match or need help in general, ask an employee at the store for help. If you don't have the old flange, buy a new flange that matches the outflow pipe measurement you took. Some new flange kits come with a wax ring, while others require you to buy the ring separately. In any case, make sure you have a new wax ring to go with your new flange. Instead of wax, some newer rings are rubber gaskets instead. However, you can install a rubber gasket the same way you'd install a wax ring.

Measure the interior diameter of the exposed outflow pipe. Take the old flange to the hardware store and buy a matching one. Purchase a new wax ring that fits your new flange.
Article: In tennis, one person starts the first serve of the game. Most players choose by flipping a coin, and in most cases, the person who doesn't serve gets to choose which side of the court to play on. The server keeps serving until the game ends. For the next game, the other player will serve. The game starts with both players on the baseline. The server chooses a corner of the baseline to serve from, and the other player positions themselves on the opposite back corner. So if you serve from the right corner of your side of the court, your opponent will stand in the far left corner from your point of view. You should be standing facing the opposite corner. Keep one foot slightly above the baseline and the other about 45 centimetres (18in) away inside the court. There isn't a required way to hold the racquet as long as your hand is around the handle. Grip the racquet firmly in your dominant hand and hold it out with your arm extended, until the head of the racquet is roughly parallel with your head. When you aren't serving, you can hold the racquet with both hands. Usually, the dominant hand will grip the top of the handle with the other hand at the bottom, but there's no required position as long as you keep your hand or hands on the handle only. If you're serving, toss the tennis ball into the air towards your racquet. It's okay to toss the ball around a few times without using your racquet or to bounce it on the court before beginning your official serve. Get used to the ball and how it handles before you serve. If you want to do a practice toss, don't hit it with your racquet. This counts as a fault, which could give your opponent a point! Save practice hits for non-game times. If you aren't serving, continue holding your racquet and waiting. When the ball approaches the head of your racquet, strike it hard diagonally towards the other player's service area. Aim towards the section of the service area closes to them. The idea is to force the ball to bounce once before they can return the serve. If the ball hits the net on the way to the other side of the court, it's called a "let" and you can do the serve over again. If the ball stays on your side of the court, goes out of bounds, or if you miss the serve altogether, it's a "fault." You can get one do-over for a fault, but if you fault twice in one serve, the point is awarded to your opponent and the game moves on to the next point. Immediately after you serve the ball, run to the opposite side of your baseline. Hit the ball firmly with the face of your racquet pointed slightly upward. It takes some practice to learn how to return the serve successfully, so don't worry if you do badly the first few times. The point is only awarded when the ball falls out of play, so keep playing until one of you wins a point! Points can last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, but as a beginner, your points will probably be awarded quickly. When the point is awarded, you'll call the score and serve again until the game is won, and then again until the set is won.

Article: If you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, the most common treatment is to use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine to help regulate your breathing. A CPAP machine may take some getting used to, but it will allow you to get a full night's rest. Ask your doctor about other devices as well. There are a number of appliances and devices other than the CPAP that may help keep your nose and throat open and help prevent sleep apnea. These include tapes that help open the nose or head straps that keep your jaw forward. Make sure that you talk to your physician and dentist before you try any devices. They will be able to give you recommendations on the best devices available. . If you are overweight, then losing weight may significantly improve or even cure your sleep apnea. To lose weight, you will need to burn more calories than you consume. Doing things like keeping a food diary to keep track of calories, eating more fruits and vegetables, and replacing high calorie beverages with water can all help. Talk to your doctor for recommendations on a weight loss plan that will work for you. Exercise can help you lose weight and help to maintain cardiovascular health, but it can also help ease the symptoms of sleep apnea. Start out easy and work your way up into more strenuous exercise. Start by trying to get 30 minutes of moderate activity, such as a brisk walk, at least 5 days a week. You can also join a gym or do aerobics, strength training, yoga, tai chi, or chi gong. Find something that you enjoy so that you will stick with it. The way that you sleep can also aggravate sleep apnea. Avoid sleeping on your back because this can cause your throat muscles to tighten up and your tongue to drop back into your throat. This will increase the risk of sleep apnea. Try sleeping on your side with a pillow propped behind your back to keep you from rolling onto your back. . Smoking can make sleep apnea worse, so it is important to quit smoking if you have sleep apnea. If you are a smoker, ask your doctor about smoking cessation programs in your area. Many communities offer low or no cost help to quit smoking. Alcohol and tranquilizers increase the risk of sleep apnea, so it is best to avoid these altogether if you have sleep apnea. If you have trouble falling asleep at night, try drinking a cup of warm milk or herbal tea instead.
