In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your school has closed down since you graduated or they could not help you, get in touch with the office of the school district. Their website should be easy to find through an Internet search. Even if you can reach your school district, there's a chance they'll refer you to the Department of Education, if they handle diplomas in your state. If you'd like, you can try contacting your Department of Education before contacting your school district. The agency that handles these requests varies from place to place. Departments of education usually have websites that are easy both to find and to navigate. You might find this page under an unexpected heading in the site directory. On the page for the New York Department of Education, for instance, the information about requesting diplomas is under a section titled "High School equivalency." If you can't find the information you need by navigating the website, try a Google search for something like "Tennessee Department of Education copy of diploma." The school district or Department of Education website should have contact information if you need additional help. Most likely, the listed number will call an administrative assistant, who can redirect you to the person you need to speak with. Once you have learned about the specific process for your school district or state, simply follow the guidelines. As with requesting a copy from your high school, there will usually be both a form you need to fill out. In most cases, it will ask you for basic information, like your name, mailing address, year of graduation, and your signature. Most of the time, the Department of Education or the school district will charge you a processing fee. Typically, it is somewhere between 5 and 15 dollars. Be prepared to provide a money order or certified check if you're mailing the forms in. You often cannot use a personal check. If you're paying online, you should be able to use a credit card. Almost always, this will be mailed to you. Only expect an electronic copy if you are specifically promised one. It will take the Department of Education or the school district about 2-3 weeks on average to process your request and send your copy.
Summary: Find how to request a copy on your school district's website. Find your state's Department of Education website if you can't reach the district. Find the records request page if there is one. Call or email the Department of Education if you have questions. Fill out any required forms. Pay the processing fee. Wait 2-3 weeks to receive a copy of your diploma.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Genealogy websites like Ancestry.com or FamilySearch.org provide online access to records that can help you to build a family tree and find out about relatives you didn't know that you had. Some online genealogy services even provide DNA testing to complement your findings in the online databases. Consider using DNA testing services to enhance your search. DNA genealogy services have successfully reunited siblings as well as children with their parents. If the missing person is a blood relative of yours, a DNA genealogy service may help you locate the person. If you know the profession of your lost or missing loved one, search corresponding trade organizations' member databases. Using this method, you may be able to find out where the person works or at least narrow their location down to a city or region. Visit popular social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, and search for your missing friend or relative. Try searching for different variations of the person's first and last name, first and middle name, and nicknames. If you still cannot find any information on your lost friend or relative, consider searching the prison system. The Federal Bureau of Prisons website features an inmate locator tool that allows you to search for inmates in the United States by name. Try searching for your missing friend or relative using people search websites like Pipl, Zabasearch, and YoName. These websites search social networking sites, blogs, and other potential places where your friend or relative's name might turn up. The Department of Motor Vehicles website has a court records search feature that may help you to locate a lost or missing person. You can easily search using the person's name and select from a list of names and details that most closely resembles the person you are seeking.
Summary: Use a web genealogy service. Search the records of local trade organizations. Search social networking sites. Search the prison system. Use a people search website. Search court records.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The empty roll should be on a plastic spindle or roller. Remove both the empty roll and the roller holding it. Slide the spindle out of the grooves it is resting in, by lifting it upward and to the rear of the dispenser. Smaller tape dispensers may not have a spindle. You should see a plastic core (or roller) with the empty cardboard tape roll surrounding it; remove both of these from the dispenser. Slide the empty tape roll off its spindle, and discard it. If the empty roll is cardboard, it can probably go in with your paper recycling. Remove a new, full roll of tape from the box. Check the box to make sure you've got the correct size for your dispenser. Hold the full roll so that when you pull the tape, the strip of tape will unwind across the top of the roll. The sticky side of the tape will be facing down, toward the floor. (If you are holding it the wrong way, the tape will extend away from you, as it pulls from the underside of the roll; the sticky side of the tape strip will be facing upwards, toward the ceiling.) Slide new roll of tape onto the tape dispenser spindle from either direction; most rollers will fit into the dispenser either way. Hold the spindle so that the paper tab on the end of the roll is facing up and toward the front of the dispenser. Slide the spindle and the new full roll of tape back into dispenser. Settle it into its holding grooves so that it moves freely. Hold onto the paper tab at the end of the tape, and pull it towards the cutting edge at the end of the dispenser. Pull the tape over the sharp edge, and pull down on the tape to cut off the colored tab.
Summary:
Remove the empty roll. Remove the empty tape roll. Ready a new roll. Align the tape. Slide the tape roll onto the spindle. Align the spindle. Load the tape.
