Presided by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, alongside HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco, the fundraising Gala took place on Thursday, 24 September 2020, on the Terraces of the Opera of Monaco, with COVID-19 protocols strictly enforced for the health and safety of all guests, and for those working behind the scenes. Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 10/15/2020 10:19:34 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 10/15/2020 10:19:34 AM 17-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Sting was honored by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco on behalf of his environmental activism, most notably for his work through the Rainforest Foundation. In 1989, the Rainforest Foundation co-founded by Sting, Trudie Styler, and Dr. Franca Sciuto began with a promise made by Sting to the Indigenous leader Raoni, of the Kayapo tribe, to help him and his people obtain legal rights to their traditional land. In fulfilling this promise, Rainforest Fund, as it's now known, has partnered with Indigenous communities on approximately 300 multi-year projects in over 20 countries, with a particular focus on human rights of Indigenous Peoples and their battles against the illegal loggers, settlers, mining, and oil interests. "We gave much thought as to whether to hold this event or not, given the prominence of ongoing concerns and health issues," stated HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. "However, the commitment of all the individuals involved in protecting our planet and of all of you... led us to make this decision. And we did so because the challenging situation in which we are living does not erase the environmental crisis. "Our health depends on the health of the environment in which we live. That is why more than ever before we need to continue our efforts and actions to protect our planet for future generations." Dame Helen Mirren, Kate Beckinsale and Andy Garcia served as Masters of Ceremony. Each separately shared from the stage their personal commitments to the work the Foundation does, and their concerns for the ongoing crisis our Planet faces. Award-winning singer, songwriter, actress Leona Lewis was the evening's delightful headline performer. Supporting the Foundation at the Gala, a list of notables included actresses Maisie Williams ("Game of Thrones,") and Sienna Miller ("The Loudest Voice" "Wander Darkly"), and actress, comedian, writer and producer Rebel Wilson ("Pitch Perfect"), model Alton Mason, and fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. Presided by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and founded by Global Fundraising Chairman Milutin Gatsby, the Gala brought together global philanthropists, policymakers, business leaders, scientists, and celebrities. Gatsby stated, "The time is now. Each of our positive actions to live more sustainably and consume more consciously on Planet Earth now matter more than ever before." Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 10/15/2020 10:19:34 AM Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 10/15/2020 10:19:34 AM “For 15 years, the Prince Albert II Foundation has invested in regenerating and healing humanity's broken relationship to nature/' asserted Olivier Wenden, Vice-President, and CEO of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. He continued, "There is no project too large or too small for us to address, educate, empower, and support in relation to our Planet's biodiversity. COVID-19 has revealed our fragility as a species and delivering a very clear message; personal health is tied to our Planetary Health." The Gala's signature auction, as always, was an evening highlight, helping to raise substantial funds that support the Foundation's critical and comprehensive portfolio of conservation projects. Items included: a private dinner with HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco; an autographed Schiller water bike with a personal water-biking lesson from HSH Princess Charlene; a doubles tennis match with the ATP #1 Men's Singles tennis professional Novak Djokovic, and HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco; an Aston Martin V8 Vantage “X Pack'' (one of 36 in the world); a day on the set of Andy Garcia's next film; an all-electric limited-edition “Grace" car with HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco's Royal Crest; an exclusive, customized Aston Martin DBS Vantage Junior Edition 1/1; a six-day Arctic expedition with HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco aboard the Commandant Charcot, a hybrid electric exploration “clean ship-certified" five-star vessel; a first-time-ever journey to Mount Athos for three nights and 33 guests; a week on board the LA DATCHA SeaXplorer 77 yacht for 12 guests and a crew of 25; a week on board the SERENITY Super Yacht for up to 28 people and a week-long private island experience at Calivigny Island for 12 guests. For lovers of art, offered up were works by street artist Banksy, an oil on canvas from Roberto Matta, and an exceptional oil on wood piece from revolutionary artist Joan Miro. This year, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation was proud to partner with the Monaco Red Cross in support of their humanitarian activities on the ground in fighting the global pandemic and climate change. Select projects will be mutually chosen to benefit IFRC with the Foundation's financial grants. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian network, reaching 150 million people in 192 National Societies, including the Monaco Red Cross, and through the work of over 13.7 million volunteers. The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation was established on the principles dedicated to mitigating climate change, conserving the integrity of ocean and land ecosystems, and reinforcing the importance of our planet's health and the health of all humanity.

  • From Pearl Harbor (1941) to Pearl Harbor (2001)
    COPAS—Current Objectives of Postgraduate American Studies 17.2 (2016) From Pearl Harbor (1941) to Pearl Harbor (2001): On the Emancipatory Potential of Nursing During Wartime and its Representation in Hollywood Film Susanne Bueechl ABSTRACT: This essay examines the representation of the nursing profession in the Hollywood movie Pearl Harbor (2001). As cultural products of their time, films tell us about the social and political conditions in which they were created. In the late 1990s and early 2000s a conservative feminist backlash, which Susan Faludi described as early as 1991 was still impacting the emancipation of women. In its often reactionary portrayal of the women nurses of World War II, Pearl Harbor seems to reflect more the situation of women in the 1990s than doing justice to the role of nurses during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Thus, through a cultural studies-informed analysis of the movie and its protagonist Evelyn Johnson, expectations of nurses during World War II will be examined and challenged. KEYWORDS: Pearl Harbor (film); World War II; Nursing; Emancipation; Gender; Feminism Introduction For decades, the discourse on the feminist movement before, during, and after World War II, was dominated by the notion that the war resulted in a backlash which “crippled the appeal and effect of feminism for almost half a century” (LeGates 288). While the war years had a considerable effect on emancipation due to the large incorporation of women into the work force, this development was also not without problems and did not mean that women achieved unequivocal equality. Particularly the years following the war are considered to have had an ebbing effect on women’s emancipation and thus on the achievement of social equality for women (LeGates 374).

  • Loki Production Brief
    PRODUCTION BRIEF “I am Loki, and I am burdened with glorious purpose.” —Loki arvel Studios’ “Loki,” an original live-action series created exclusively for Disney+, features the mercurial God of Mischief as he steps out of his brother’s shadow. The series, described as a crime-thriller meets epic-adventure, takes place after the events Mof “Avengers: Endgame.” “‘Loki’ is intriguingly different with a bold creative swing,” says Kevin Feige, President, Marvel Studios and Chief Creative Officer, Marvel. “This series breaks new ground for the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it, and lays the groundwork for things to come.” The starting point of the series is the moment in “Avengers: Endgame” when the 2012 Loki takes the Tesseract—from there Loki lands in the hands of the Time Variance Authority (TVA), which is outside of the timeline, concurrent to the current day Marvel Cinematic Universe. In his cross-timeline journey, Loki finds himself a fish out of water as he tries to navigate—and manipulate—his way through the bureaucratic nightmare that is the Time Variance Authority and its by-the-numbers mentality. This is Loki as you have never seen him. Stripped of his self- proclaimed majesty but with his ego still intact, Loki faces consequences he never thought could happen to such a supreme being as himself. In that, there is a lot of humor as he is taken down a few pegs and struggles to find his footing in the unforgiving bureaucracy of the Time Variance Authority. As the series progresses, we see different sides of Loki as he is drawn into helping to solve a serious crime with an agent 1 of the TVA, Mobius, who needs his “unique Loki perspective” to locate the culprits and mend the timeline.
