Article: This minion uses a toilet paper roll as a base. It is simple and easy to make, and perfect for anyone who loves to work with glue and paint. Here's what you will need: Toilet paper roll Blue and yellow paint Black and yellow paper Black marker 1 2 large googly eyes Glue Paintbrushes Newspaper Masking tape or paper tape Black yarn or pipe cleaners This will make your minion nice and solid. If you cannot find a toilet paper roll, try cutting a paper towel roll in half, or into thirds. This will make the domed shape of the minion's head. This will cover the top of the head and make it smooth. Keep covering it with tape from different angles until you can't see the newspaper anymore. Make sure that you are using masking tape or paper tape, or the paint won't stick to it. Regular scotch tape is too smooth. The yellow part will be the body of the minion and the blue part will be the overalls. Use a thin brush to paint two "n" shapes across from each other, right above the blue part of the tube. This will make the straps. Start by placing the minion down on a sheet of black paper. Trace around the minion using a pencil. Take the minion off the paper and draw an "m" right above the circle. Make sure that the bottom of the "m" is touching the top of the circle. Also, make sure that the "m" is the same width as the circle. The arches from the "m" will make the shoes. Cut the circle out; be sure to include the "m" shape. Glue the minion down onto the feet. Use school glue or tacky glue to line the bottom rim of the toilet paper roll. Place a few drops of glue onto the newspaper inside the minion as well. Press the minion down onto the feet. The arches from the "m" should be sticking out from under the minion, like shoes. If you want, you can paint or color the hands black to look like gloves. Minion arms are shaped like long, skinny rectangles; they have three loops at one end, sort of like a three-leaf clover. Fold the bottom of each arm by 1 centimeter. Put a drop of glue onto the folded part, and press it against the minion, just below the shoulder strap. Glue one or two large googly eyes down for the eyes. Use a marker to draw around each eye. This will make the frame of the goggles. Next, use a marker to draw a line going around the entire head, from one side of the goggles to the other. This will be the strap. If your minion has two eyes, make sure that the googly eyes are touching each other. Minion eyes are very close together. Use a black marker to draw the mouth. You can also use it to draw the buttons and pocket on the overalls. In the movie, the minions had a letter "G" on the front pocket of the overalls. You can use that, or use the first letter of your name to make the minion your personal minion.

Article: As long as you have the money, try to make sure that all of your settlements have at least one building being produced on the construction panel. If you have conquered a city and it already has a religious structure from a different culture, destroy it and build your own. The only exception to this is when that city's happiness rating is too low to last a turn without that building without revolting. However, if you have the ability to upgrade the city and the citizens are becoming too restless, delay whichever current structure you are building with the new one that will advance your city.

Article: Stand up and walk around the house as a study has shown that a 10-minute walk can increase your energy for two hours. Being active brings oxygen to your brain and muscles. Be careful not to overdo it because if you waste too much energy doing something active you may become tired as your body tries to recover. Be active when you feel tired. Get some oxygen into your body and your heart rate up to give you the jolt of energy when you feel yourself starting to fade. If you have had a long day or simply feel too tired to stay up, take a nap to recharge. It's best to nap for five or 25 minutes. If you take it close to your usual bedtime, then you won't feel tired like you normally would. Ride this energy to stay up late. If you have been watching your tv, mobile device, or computer for many hours, your eyes will need a break. The glare from the screen could be causing your eyes to strain making you fatigued or sleepy. Take breaks to look away from the screen and let your eyes relax. Look out the window, take a walk around the house, and adjust the brightness of your screen to make sure you don't strain your eyes trying to stay awake. Avoid sugary foods because, while sugar may give you an immediate boost of energy, it may also make you tired immediately afterward. Try snacks like celery sticks with peanut butter, fresh fruit, nuts, or baby carrots. Let your friends or cousins know that you are trying to stay up late and perhaps they may be willing to text or chat over the phone to help you. If you feel yourself fading, ask for their help and talk to them. Talk to them about anything. As long as you have a conversation your mind will be engaged and forced to keep you awake. It may be easy to come up with conversation topics beforehand to make sure that you will always have something to talk about. For example, you can ask your friends to talk about a tv show, your parents about vacation ideas, or family members about what's happening in school. Bright light can wake you up and keep you alert. Only have bright lights on in whatever room you're in because having all the lights on in your house may make your family angry. You may get sleepy if you're dehydrated. Water can not only hydrate you, but it will keep you awake as you need to pee. You may eat fruits and vegetables that contain water like watermelon. You can also have a cold shower or splash cold water on your face. The cold will send a jolt through your body and get you awake. Wake up with cold water. A glass of cold water in the morning will jolt your metabolism. Fill a large water bottle and drink it over the course of the night. Refill it if you drink the whole bottle and still feel thirsty. If your parents allow you, drink something with caffeine in it like soda. Some brands have more caffeine than others. Energy drinks have a lot of caffeine and may not be healthy if you are young. Caffeine can be extremely addictive so make sure you only consume a little bit if you are allowed. Do not drink a lot of caffeine or you will crash. Ask a friend or family member to give you a wake-up-call or, better yet, stay up with you. Having someone else there to push you through your fatigue will make the night go by faster. You can play board games, cards, watch movies, or simply have a conversation. Keep each other accountable.
