| There are about 5,000 different species of ladybugs in the world. These much loved critters are also known as lady beetles or ladybird beetles. They come in many different colors and patterns, but the most familiar in North America is the seven-spotted ladybug, with its shiny, red-and-black body. The name "ladybug" was created by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when pests began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading insects, the farmers named them "beetle of Our Lady." This eventually was shortened to "lady beetle" and "ladybug." In many cultures, ladybugs are considered good luck. Most people like them because they are pretty, graceful, and harmless to humans. But farmers love them because they eat aphids and other plant-eating pests. One ladybug can eat up to 5,000 insects in its lifetime! Most ladybugs have oval, dome-shaped bodies with six short legs. Depending on the species, they can have spots, stripes, or no markings at all. Seven-spotted ladybugs are red or orange with three spots on each side and one in the middle. They have a black head with white patches on either side. Ladybugs are colorful for a reason. Their markings tell predators: "Eat something else! I taste terrible." When threatened, the bugs will secrete an oily, foul-tasting fluid from joints in their legs. They may also play dead. Birds are ladybugs' main predators, but they also fall victim to frogs, wasps, spiders, and dragonflies. Ladybugs are happy in many different habitats, including grasslands, forests, cities, suburbs, and along rivers. Seven-spotted ladybugs are native to Europe but were brought to North America in the mid-1900s to control aphid populations. Ladybugs are most active from spring until fall. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm, secluded place to hibernate, such as in rotting logs, under rocks, or even inside houses. These hibernating colonies can contain thousands of ladybugs. |

| Charging an laptop battery is as easy as plugging the laptop into an electrical outlet and leaving the machine off for a span of time. If the computer and battery are operating properly, the battery will charge during this process. However, if the laptop is in use and the battery requires a charge, there are a few steps to take to decrease the power demand from using the laptop and increase the power available to the battery charging mechanism. The laptop’s “Power Plan” may be changed or customized with just a few simple steps. 1 Right-click on the Power icon in the system tray at the bottom right of the Windows desktop. The Power icon looks like a D-cell battery and may appear to have a power cord connector in front, if the laptop is currently plugged into AC current. 2 Select “Power Options” from the context menu. The Power Options settings page will appear. Three power plans are provided by default: Balanced, Power Saver and High Performance. 3 Click the radio button in front of the “Power Saver” option to increase power to the battery charger while the laptop is in use. 4 Close the Power Options window by clicking the “X” in the top right corner. The selection will save on exit. By Tammy Clevenger |

| Maria’s hand glided through the warm clear water. Stroke after stroke she moved lazily in the Australian summer. She wasn’t a good swimmer; swimming in the shallow creek brought both fear and excitement. She didn’t bother with bathers, she just threw on a t-shirt and some shorts. She cracked her neck and fingers and lay back floating on the water. Closing her eyes she started humming, forgetting her life, forgetting about her parents arguing, forgetting about her loss and sorrow. Forgetting everything. Maria’s heart skipped a beat when a dark shadow lurked slowly around her. She stayed on her back not daring to move. The possibility of sharks was high. Her heart stopped. What was she supposed to do? The shark would either attack or not, she was doomed if it did. Tears rolled down her cheek as she felt something brush against her left shoulder. Maria felt herself flying through the water. She gulped for air as she screamed. Falling she grabbed a tuft of grass at the edge of the bank. Maria heaved herself up and coughed out some water. Rolling over she peered into the water, adrenaline pumping her veins. She nearly kicked herself, a dolphin was grinning at her, its eyes sparkling. A huge grin spread across her face, she had never seen such a magical creature so close before. The dolphin echoed and splashed a huge gust of water at Maria. Giggling she reached over and patted the slippery latex like surface of its head. Dolphins were always happy; they needn’t worry about trouble. Maria played with her little friend for ages until the horizon made a beautiful orange colour. “I have to go now, but I’ll be back tomorrow!” she whispered. It appeared as if the dolphin knew what she had said. Maria would wait for another day of play and wonder. By Emma Parker 7A |

| Now you must know that a Town Mouse once upon a time went on a visit to his cousin in the country. He was rough and ready, but he loved his town friend and made him heartily welcome. Beans and bacon, cheese and bread, were all he had to offer, but he offered them freely. The Town Mouse rather turned up his long nose at this country fare, and said: "I cannot understand, Cousin, how you can put up with such poor food as this, but of course you cannot expect anything better in the country; come with me and I will show you how to live. When you have been in town a week you will wonder how you could ever have stood a country life." No sooner said than done: the two mice set off for the town and arrived at the Town Mouse's residence late at night. "You will want some refreshment after our long journey," said the polite Town Mouse, and took his friend into the grand dining-room. There they found the remains of a fine feast, and soon the two mice were eating up jellies and cakes and all that was nice. Suddenly they heard growling and barking. "What is that?" said the Country Mouse. "It is only the dogs of the house," answered the other. "Only!" said the Country Mouse. "I do not like that music at my dinner." Just at that moment the door flew open, in came two huge mastiffs, and the two mice had to scamper down and run off. "Good-bye, Cousin," said the Country Mouse, "What! going so soon?" said the other. "Yes," he replied; "Better beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear." |
