Abstract: Each language we have on earth seems to possess peculiarities that could bring us a lot of joy if ever correctly isolated, since we could be associating those with skills, and some of those skills might be priceless for those pursuing careers in Science. It is impossible to deny that each people could be described through a set of unique characteristics. Maybe it is time to talk about unique and supplementary skills that come associated with those descriptions because maybe it is time to have our systems turning to the side of perfecting and matching those skills to the point where we can select individuals in a way to optimize the processes involved in the resolution of major human problems, such as crime

It is a modest endeavour to decode the eco-supportive symbolic message conveyed by the poem to the denizens of mega-materialistic world, which driven by the illusion of superiority turns too egotistic to recognize enigmatic phenomenon of the magnificent Nature............

Abstract: This paper presents an experiment with forecasting of result fluctuation in four major search engines- Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Baidu using simple keyword "Catchwork" in the field of Library and Information Science. The forecasting of search engines was carried out by time series analysis collecting 100 days of sampling and latter by method of trend projecting 50 days of forecast data was generated which was taken into evaluation. The evaluation reveals that Google shows huge negative secular trend while Bing also shows downward negative secular trend. Yahoo! shows a straight or neutral secular trend, while Baidu remarkable shows a positive secular trend producing a consistent growth in the database of Baidu in terms of results towards the simple term "Catchwork".
