Q: Oral history is a powerful tool for teaching kids about the past. Interviewing Grandma is a great way to not only learn about her life as a young woman, but to pass on family and regional history that might otherwise be lost. Sit down with your child and make a list of questions to ask Grandma about the past. Record the interview using your smartphone and preserve the resulting oral history for future generations. Grandparents often have lots of old photos lying around that tell tales about a family’s history. Ask your children’s grandparents to locate old family photos and then make copies of the originals. Using the originals, have your children work with their grandparents to create a scrapbook with the photos and any stories Grandpa might want to share. Learning about their ancestry is an empowering and interesting endeavor for kids. Consider asking your kids’ grandparents to sit down with the children and sketch out a family tree. This will give Grandma an opportunity to share stories about her parents and grandparents that she might not otherwise share.
A: Interview the grandparents. Make a family history scrapbook. Make a family tree.

Q: If any of the characters in your cartoon will have spoken lines, you will need a voice actor to recite those lines, and your voice actor will need a written script so that he or she knows what needs to be said. You need to know the script before you can animate the cartoon. The mouth moves in different ways for different phonemes, and you will need to animate these different mouth movements in a believable way so that any voice overs you add later will match them. If there is no dialog in the cartoon, you might be able to skip a formal script. You should still write down a basic narrative of events so that you can keep track of the story and its different pieces, though. Write multiple drafts of any script before beginning the production phase. Write your first draft, set it aside, and come back to it in a day or two to see how you can improve upon it and make it flow more effectively. A short cartoon may only consist of a single scene, but if your cartoon is a little longer, you might need to divide it into multiple scenes or acts for easier management. When you sketch out a formal storyboard, each major change in action should be shown in one of the storyboard squares. Minor changes should be described, but may not need to be drawn out.  Use basic shapes, stick figures, and simple backgrounds. A storyboard should be fairly basic. Consider drawing your storyboard frames on index cards so that you can rearrange them and move parts of the story around as necessary. You can also include notes about what is happening in each frame so that it will be easier to remember later on.
A: Write a script if there is any dialog. Jot down a basic narrative of events. Divide your story into main parts. Sketch out each major change in action.

Q: Above a latitude of 50° north, it will be difficult to see the Milky Way. This latitude includes anything north of Normandy, France; Vancouver, Canada; and Inner Mongolia, China. Travel south for the best view. Use a compass or an app on your phone to point you to the south. If you are viewing the Milky Way in summer, you should see the first bands rising from the south. It will look like a white cloud of stars or a dense, misty cluster across the sky.  If you’re viewing the Milky Way in spring, turn slightly to the west. If it’s autumn, look slightly to the east.  Keep in mind that the Milky Way will not look like any pictures you may have seen of it. Cameras are able to pick up more light and colors than a human eye. Look for the densest cluster of stars; this will be the core. If you are very far north, the core may be partially covered by the horizon. If you are closer to the equator, it may be up above the horizon. In the core of the Milky Way, you may see some dark patches. These may only be visible in the darkest skies. This is called the Great Rift. It is a series of thick clouds covering part of the Milky Way.
A: Avoid going too far north. Look to the south. Focus near the horizon to see the core of the galaxy. Pick out the Great Rift by searching for dark patches.

Q: " You can determine the value of the money factor in one of two ways depending on the information that is provided to you by the dealer. It might be an interest Annual Percentage Rate (APR) or a "rent charge." rent charge. If the dealer provides you with the interest rate APR, divide the interest rate by 2,400. For example, if the interest rate is quoted at 6 percent, the money factor = 6  /  2,400 = 0.0025. If the dealer provides a "rent charge" or "lease charge," add the residual value to the net capitalized cost. Then multiply that total by the number of months in the lease term.  Divide the rent charge or lease charge by this number to compute the money factor.  For example, if the dealer quotes a lease charge of $3,465, the money factor = $3,465  /  [($22,000 + $16,500) x 36] = 0.0025. "2400" is the denominator after conversion of a percentage to decimals, yearly interest to monthly interest, and applying it to average principal amount outstanding during the lease. Multiply that total by the money factor. The result is the financing portion of your lease payment. For example, financing fee = ($22,000 + $16,500) x 0.0025 = $96.25.
A:
Calculate the "money factor. Compare APR vs. Add the net capitalized cost to the residual value.
