 * 5. **** How do Search Engines Work? **
 * __Noteworthy features:__ Google is probably the largest search engine out there. It offers many different options for its users such as google images, google talk, g-mail, google earth, a book search, picasa which is a pixel converter photo organizer, google maps, google docs, google blog, among a host of other options. It sends out "spiders" which means that it searches by looking at specific words. Amy at Merino **

 * __8. What are the Noteworthy features of each search engine?__**
 * __Noteworthy features:__ Yahoo is a directory not a search engine. It lists sites, as opposed to pages. Directories only include the titles and descriptions of Web sites, not the text of their Web pages. As a result, there is less information, but they might be a good place to start. Directories are made by people not computers. They're organized by topic, so finding something useful beside the one you are looking for is possible. So if you are looking for info on a subject use Yahoo, but if you want more specific info, or want to enter an exact question, a search engine is better. (Denise at Merino) **

" Eradication
Once a structure is infested with fruit flies, **all potential breeding areas must be located and eliminated**. Unless the breeding sites are removed or cleaned, the problem will continue no matter how often insecticides are applied to control the adults. Finding the source(s) of attraction and breeding can be very challenging and often will require much thought and persistence. Potential breeding sites which are inaccessible (e.g., garbage disposals and drains) can be inspected by taping a **clear plastic food storage bag** over the opening overnight. If flies are breeding in these areas, the adults will emerge and be caught in the bag. //After the source of attraction and breeding is eliminated//, a pyrethrum-based, aerosol insecticide may be used to kill any remaining adult flies in the area. A better approach, however, is to construct a trap by placing a **paper funnel** (rolled from a sheet of notebook paper) into a jar which is then baited with a few ounces of cider vinegar. Place the jar trap(s) wherever fruit flies are seen. This simple but effective trap will soon catch any remaining adult flies which can then be killed or released outdoors**."** Denise from Merino []

28. How many words are there in the English language?
==There is no single sensible answer to this question. It is impossible to count the number of words in a language, because it is so hard to decide what counts as a word. Is dog one word, or two (a noun meaning 'a kind of animal', and a verb meaning 'to follow persistently')?==
