University of Cambridge, language: English, abstract: Pay for
performance, is a motivational aspect in human resource management
in that the hired workers receive increased benefits for their work
output if the team they belong to, department or group reaches
certain set targets by the organization they are affiliated with.
According to Conyon and Murphy, (2000) and Bebchuk and Fried,
(2006), pay depends on performance of an employee in relation to
the threshold set as measurement. Pay for performance has different
categories and they include the following: Competence based payment
rewards and training links directly with competency platforms,
measured upon on the employee demonstrating specified
qualifications like: identifying, analyzing and solving problems,
taking responsibility and making critical decisions concerning job
description, leadership qualities traits that are relevant to the
job, customer satisfaction i.e. good interpersonal skills, dealing
with conflicting views and means of resolving them or having
certain qualifications. Profits resulting to payments of bonuses or
being given shares according to organization performance in their
set financial years; this is common and well embraced in the
private sector, in which share options as a means of reward are
offered to senior managers or top performers based upon
organization criteria. Profit related pay has lost its value and
appreciation from the time government stepped in and did away with
tax exemption on Performance for Pay schemes. The main criteria
followed in PFP are: setting goals, results analysis and connecting
the streams of accomplishments to rewards which is in form of
payments. The objective and main purpose of pay for performance is
to benchmark clear goals and materialize employees with the firm's
reasons for existence; to inspire workers through exten

abstract: Marketing has always been one of the most crucial and
critical functions in organizations for last several decades. Since
several years, organizations have been depending on various
marketing methods to promote products, services and brands. As time
passes, the types of marketing strategies that are considered for
have changed. Techniques that were used in 1950s shall not be
helpful for organizations that operate in today's environment. In
the same way, techniques that are currently used in today's
environment shall not be useful after 50 to 60 years (Kotler and
Keller, 2012). Unless marketing activities are planned based on
present market conditions, it is not possible for organizations to
reach wide-range of customers that spread across the world. As
there are no boundaries in the target markets of most of the
organizations, organizations have to use the combination of both
traditional and online marketing methods. While traditional
marketing methods such as print, radio or television marketing
primarily restricted to tap domestic customers, it is online
marketing strategy that helps organizations to reach customers, who
spread across the world, with minimum marketing budget. Online
marketing is the process of sending marketing communications and
advertising messages to customers through various methods that used
over internet. Internet marketing forms a wide-range of techniques
such as search engine marketing, social media marketing, email
marketing, affiliate marketing, blog marketing, and buzz marketing
etc. As per the recent report revealed by Internet Advertising
Bureau in 2009, the revenues of online ad sellers have increased to
$21 Billion. The global online advertising spending in 2001 was
around $82 Billion and it is expected to grow 12-14% every year to
reach

Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, grade: A, The University of
Liverpool, course: Information Management, language: English,
abstract: Social network sites have millions of users worldwide
with the sites integrated into the daily practices of the users
with increasing numbers recorded among university students.
Examples of popular social network sites used commonly by
university students include Facebook, Bebo, MySpace, Cyworld and
many others. The largest of the sites among university students
being Facebook created in 2004 by Zuckerberg with its rate of usage
at 90% (Stutzman, 2006). In addition, Facebook has stimulated a
platform for a lot researches on its various aspects for instance
in academics (Hewitt & Forte, 2006). Furthermore the growth of
social network sites on schools can be attributed to the growth The
intense usage of social network sites within academic institutions
has resulted into social capital formation and on the other hand
resulted to new platforms of effective communication. In addition,
the social network sites are also associated with social capital
measures for instance bonding and bridging of social capital.
Furthermore, self esteem moderates the relationship between social
capital and social network sites. Individuals who have low self
esteem tend to gain confidence from using social network sites as
compared with their counterparts who have high self-esteem. This
aspect acts as a psychological boost to individuals specifically
students who are introverts and can act as an academic boost for
them. Studies conducted earlier on social network sites had data
being collected at one-point-in-time thus making it difficult to
determine a time order in relationships among users of the social
network sites, social capital and self esteem. The growth of social
network sites was not phenomenal and popular and thus the
underlying reasons which attracted different segments could

Children and Youth, grade: A, State University of New York at Stony
Brook, language: English, abstract: Juvenile delinquency has been
ranked as one of the most serious problems facing the United States
today. It has become a national problem, as opposed to being
restricted to the large cities. The nature of juvenile delinquency
has changed over time such that the delinquent activities being
engaged in by the juveniles have changed over the years. The
relevant juvenile justice agents have attempted to prevent and
control this vice. However, it seems like more still needs to be
done are the methods that have been employed have not yielded the
desired results. (Muraskin & Roberts, 2005) There is no
universally accepted definition and approach of addressing juvenile
delinquency. For instance, to the criminologists, juvenile
delinquency entails all public wrongs committed by the young
between the ages of 12 and 20. Sociologists take a broader approach
since they postulate that delinquency includes many violations of
legal and social norms, including minor offences, serious crimes,
committed by juveniles. The sociologists the specifics of youth
deviant behavior with the home, peers, family, neighborhood, as
well as other variables which, influence the formation of young
people's social environment. It is against this backdrop that this
paper seeks to delve into the issue of juvenile delinquency by
looking at its causes, prevention, control and the way forward.

Project Report from the year 2012 in the subject Computer Science -
Software, grade: A, University of Cambridge, language: English,
abstract: Java is considered a unique language and many of its
properties are also found in other languages. The extensive usage
of Java language by programmers indicates that the Sun Microsystems
have founded the right amalgam of sophistication and functionality.
Java is actually derived from C++ language which increases the
complexity of software with its features. However, the origin of
Java is C++ and it uses many of its features by eliminating the
drawback found in origin language. Java has eliminated direct
memory access, pointers, multiple inheritance and pointers etc.
Java was integrated with the support for World Wide Web and made it
lucrative for the purpose of programming over network. One of the
main benefits which is associated with Java language is object
orientation. Primitive languages such as Pascal, C and Basic are
referred as procedural languages. These languages however offer the
programming facilities to devise the software but they do not
provide them in efficient way and do not provide robustness in
nature. While Java devise software by keeping the concept of
objects and classes under consideration. Classes contain the member
of class along with the data and methods which further work upon
the data. Java is actually object oriented in nature, however;
there also exist many other object oriented languages such as
Visual Basic, C++, Smalltalk and Delphi. (Reilly, Reilly, 2002)
Programmers happily adopt object oriented languages as they provide
safety and ease as compared primitive procedural languages. One of
the positive aspects of Java language is its simplicity as
programmers refrain from using C++ due to complexity as it allows
the direct memory access, dangling pointers and explicit memory
de-allocation and allocation for structures and objects.
Furthermore, Java supports inheritance but disallow the multiple
Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject History -
Miscellaneous, grade: A, University of Cambridge, language:
English, comment: very good., abstract: Contemporary art is now
judged as a historical experience commencing from the end of world
war II, in 1945. The current crop of artists is contributing their
mite to the highly multifaceted and globalized economy of cultural
packages. The year 1945 was turning point, because after the war,
and the establishment of American superiority, the cultural
political and economic power shifted partially from Europe to the
US. It was not surprising because the erstwhile European
colonialism also waned considerably. A new generation of artists
has evolved around this time, who consistently overturned the
existing modernist practices and established new tools for dealing
with contemporary art in Europe and North America, leading to what
Guy Debord described as "society of the spectacle," which gives
prominence to the visual arts, which in turn dictate the various
cultural practices, and in general, specify the way people
interpret, contest or maneuver contemporary life (Amelia, J.,
2006). Assuming that, post world war II, contemporary arts is now
60 years old, it is indeed a surprise that so much of history has
come to pass with such speed and density of events during this
short period in world history. This has necessitated the need for
developing the capabilities of understanding and appreciating the
visual arts since 1945. These facts serve as a vital addition to
the existing texts on social, aesthetic and chronological
development of contemporary art. Most of these surveys concentrated
on the Euro-American art since 1945, with just a little attention
to non-European American art developments and history (Amelia, J.,
2006). As art continues to bargain on its affiliation to
globalization it wonders what consequences globalization will have
on it. We also wonder whether art history could go global, and if
so, what i
