The work addresses the following questions in the context of interglacial climate dynamics: (i) What are the amplitudes of natural climate variations on timescales of several years to millennia? (ii) Do abrupt changes in the large-scale circulation of the Atlantic Ocean occur in interglacials? (iii) Which biogeochemical feedback mechanisms control the natural limits of atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols? (iv) Which linkages exist between climate and pre-industrial cultures? The work is based on an integrated approach in paleoclimate research, in which all available paleoclimate archives (terrestrial and marine as well as ice cores) are combined in order to yield a comprehensive and quantitative analysis of global environmental variations. Moreover, through a close linkage be-tween paleoclimate reconstructions and results from Earth-system models detailed insights into the dynamics of climate variations are gained.

Elwood Lucien is a young West Indian artist who lives within bicycle-riding distance of The Blue Basin - a site that becomes both the prophetic beginning of his art and the poetic end to his youth. After falling in love with the world of art as a child, he finally garners international attention. It seems, however, that Elwood is not made for fame; he is disgusted by the false adoration and insincerity of society people and shies from their attention.

After years spent alone, wandering from one tumultuous relationship to the next, Elwood meets Fauna on a beach. She is beautiful and different from all the women of his past and they experience an immediate connection. Her family too welcomes Elwood with open arms and it seems he has finally found what he has been searching for all his life; a home and a sense of purpose to his art.

With Fauna at his side, Elwood now begins his new life with greater promise and resolve. However, the past too arrives through old lovers and unpaid debts, and he realizes the irony of success that haunts each great artist: the greater the art, the greater the price one must pay.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Public Relations, Werbung, Marketing, Social Media, Note: 2,0, Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1. Problemstellung Die heutige Medienvielfalt ist grosser denn je. Konsumenten sind, auf Grund der schnellen technologischen Entwicklungen, stetig wachsendem Werbedruck ausgesetzt. In Deutschland streiten sich rund 60 Fernsehsender, 300 Radiostationen, 400 Zeitungen und 600 Zeitschriften um Rezipienten. Hinzu kommen die neuen Medien und die damit verbundene Werbung. Somit herrscht ein reges Durcheinander fur den Einzelnen. Eine Studie des Instituts fur Marketing und Kommunikation" aus dem Jahr 2004 besagt, dass deutsche Konsumenten durchschnittlich uber 6000 Werbekontakte pro Tag wahrnehmen. Allerdings wurden bei dieser Studie die Werbeeindrucke aus den neuen Medien nicht hinzugezahlt. Interessant ist die dagegen Auswertung der bewusst erinnerten Werbekontakte der letzten 24 Stunden; diese befanden sich im Schnitt bei drei. Der heutige Kunde ist gegen diese immense Flut von Werbung grosstenteils immun, so dass die Werbeindustrie zunehmend auf auffallige Kampagnen setzten muss. Beispielsweise lockt Preis-Aktionismus zunachst viele Konsumenten, schadet aber auf lange Sicht der Kundenloyalitat und der Markenbindung. Daraus resultiert ein hart umkampfter Werbemarkt, der zufolge hat, dass sich Werbetreibende kontinuierlich nach neuen Plattformen umschauen mussen. Das Internet und das daraus resultierende Web 2.0 verzeichnen daher in den letzten Jahren einen stetigen Zuwachs; einerseits an Nutzern und andererseits an Werbeinteressenten. Dies bestatigt der Zuwachs des Werbeinvests des Internets im Jahre 2010 von 43,1% im Vergleich zu der Steigerung der Gesamtwerbeausgaben von 10,7%. (Vgl.: Kapitel 4.7) Um in der Zukunft erfolgreich werben zu konnen, mussen Werbeplattformen Moglichkeiten bieten besser auf ihre Kunden einzugehen. In der Werbung gibt es heute nur noch weni
