Abstract
The paper reviews the disaster plan put out by Queens, N.Y. It shows that awareness about the importance of Community Disaster plans is on the rise and the American Red Cross and fire department are doing their best to educate the community of Queens, New York. The paper shows that what is important is that the disaster plan is practiced regularly and carried out as planned during times of emergency. It surmises that the disaster plan is very effective and covers nearly all issues helping to save more lives and property.

From the Paper
"The Disaster Plan although very useful and helpful can be further improved upon by giving more importance and consideration to a few issues. The most important is working out a plan on how to help the disabled and handicapped members of the neighborhood. This also applies to elderly people who may have mobility problems. Although the above disaster plan applies to them, a few more points should be taken into consideration. The old and the disabled should provide a spare key to their house to any of the nearby neighbors. All emergency health supplies and necessary medicines should be kept within easy reach."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief essay on Fabian Bielinsky's film "Nine Queens", which argues that the main social message of the movie is that when everyone is a mercenary nobody is safe from the negative impact of corruption.

From the Paper
"The main social theme in Fabian Bielinsky's film "Nine Queens" is that in a corrupt society or economy, everyone is a mercenary and worries only about their own profit. As Marcos says of one woman alleged to be superior to the con artists in the film, "Can't you see the way she swings her ass? There are no saints." (Nine Queens) The young con-artist, Juan, meets Marcos, a mature con artist, intent on scoring the Big One by swindling a mark named Vidal Gandolfo. Most of..."

Abstract
This paper presents an examination of potential unexpected disasters that could effect the New York Borough of Queens and emergency procedures which would need to be taken. Possible problems mentioned include the ethnic richness, terror targets, air crashes, natural disasters and extreme temperatures. The author discusses procedures which should be taken for each of these disasters and stresses the need for disaster planning.

From the Paper
"When reflecting upon the correct procedures to pursue in the event of an emergency, it is important to be mindful of the specific types of hazards that might be more likely to face a particular area. Depending on the location and the nature of the area's topography, a particular area may be more likely to suffer emergency situations with natural causes, human causes, and technological causes than other areas. New York City, because of the events of September 11th, has become increasingly alert to the necessary procedures one must take in the event of unexpected disasters. However, the emergency procedures of the outer boroughs of the City have not always come under equal scrutiny as the emergency procedures of lower Manhattan. Thus it is important to review the possible emergencies that might afflict one of New York City's boroughs. In this particular case focus will be on the types of problems most likely to afflict the borough of Queens."

Abstract
This paper explains that the songs. "Genie in a Bottle," sung by Christina Aguilera, "Boom, Boom", sung by Britney Spears. and "Naughty Girl", sung by Beyonce Knowles. are among the "Top 40" pop songs that have heavy sexual references, which many people may not even notice. The author points out that all three pieces have blood-pumping music and a sort of seductive melody, which seem to inspire highly sexually suggestive movement. The paper concludes that, while there's nothing particularly wrong with sex or with art that displays sex, it seems strange that "Top 40" songs that are played everywhere, especially by teenagers, would be quietly pumping in lyrics about mutual masturbation, prostitution, and orgies.

From the Paper
"Aguilera's character seems to maintain a temporary morality, saying "that don't mean I'm gonna give it away" to which she has already added "baby, baby, baby" as an indication that she is already losing control of her body. This loss of control is soon made explicit as she says "My body's saying let's go"(assumably to "give it away"). That this is sexual is so obvious that, when Disney wanted to show the video to children, they required Aguilera to change the lyrics to "My friends are saying let's go." as if to pretend that she was going to leave, rather than going to have sexual intercourse."

Abstract
This paper will argue that the depiction of Eleanor of Aquitaine (as played by Katharine Hepburn) in "The Lion in Winter" is of a much more assertive figure than the Queen Victoria (as played by Judi Dench) of "Mrs. Brown". The latter queen, for all her power, is characterized as a repressed emotional woman, while Eleanor is defined by her unconventional social and political assertiveness.

Abstract
A discussion of religious iconography as it relates to the Catholic Queens of England, Elizabeth I. and Hamlet?s Gertrude. This paper contains a discussion of the virgin-whore dichotomy as it relates to the depictions of the Catholic Queens of England and Elizabeth I. in comparison to Gertrude. It also deals with an interesting change in religious iconization as England made its movement in support of the Protestant faith. The argument defines and discusses three areas in which queens are compared to religious icons and how their success and failure in these areas establishes their places in the virgin-whore dichotomy.

From the Paper
"To give the queen the desired position in the dichotomy as the virgin, queens were often equated with religious icons, making their legacies almost saintly. These images of holiness defined both the queen's positions in the monarchy and the standards to which the future queens were held. After the fall of Catholicism in England, the iconizsation of the queen changed. Elizabeth in particular wasn't associated by allegory alone to the Virgin Mary, but rather became the Virgin Mother of England in body as well as by allegory. This strengthened both her political position and her position in the virgin-whore dichotomy of the time. By comparing Queen Elizabeth, who was seen as a saintly, virginal figure, to Shakespeare's character Gertrude, who was seen as lusty and betraying, the major virgin-whore dichotomy of the Elizabethan and post-Elizabethan age can be exemplified."

From the Paper
"Queen Elizabeth was not the original successor to the throne. The Queen's Uncle, King Edward VIII, who was king at the time of her birth, brought scandal to the Royal family when he began to spend time with a so-called commoner, American divorcee Wallis Simpson. (Green, Robert. Queen Elizabeth II. Franklin Watts, 1997.) . The Church of England, bowing to the prevailing social views of the time, did not view King Edward's actions as acceptable behavior, particularly due to his royal position. (Green, Robert . Queen Elizabeth II. Franklin Watts, 1997.) In the wake of the scandal, Queen Elizabeth's father Prince Albert became king when his brother abdicated the throne to marry Simpson. This made the way for the young Princess to inherit the title."

Abstract
In this article, the writer reviews the film 'The Queen', using feminist critical theory of Stanton, Wollstonecraft, Freidan, and De Beauvoir. The writer discuses the meaning and content of the film and its depiction of the private versus the public as a crucial issue Queen Elizabeth must deal with.

From the Paper
"'The Queen' starring Helen Mirren depicts a week in the life of the British royal family immediately following the death of the former Princess of Wales Lady Diana Spencer in an automobile accident in Paris while in the company of her boyfriend Harrods' heir Dody Fayed. More than a mere retelling of the story of how the much-loved and extremely popular even in divorce Princess Diana came to be the primary antagonist of England's Queen Elizabeth II, the film attempts ..."

Abstract
With a career spanning over 20 years, and a string of hits that remain sporting event anthems, Queen still remains one of the most beloved rock bands of all-time, even after the tragic death of Freddie Mercury over ten years ago. This essay discusses everything a person could want to know about this legendary group. Within the essay you'll find the humble origins of the four band members in Britain, their struggle to get noticed by the public, their eventual rise to super-stardom, and the eventual tragic death of Freddie Mercury at the hands of the AIDS virus. It also includes a bit of post-Queen information on the surviving members of the band and what they have been up to in the years since.

From the Paper
"Throughout rock and roll history, Britain has produced some of the most important and revolutionary acts. There's been the controversial bad boy genius of the Rolling Stones, the front-running of "glam rock" by David Bowie, and of course the unparalleled skill and style of the Beatles. These artists, along with many others who have come out of Britain, have made important political and social statements with their music that captured the hearts and minds of their generations and beyond. However, one of Britain's most legendary acts often didn't have very much to say at all in terms of politics, or trying to revolutionize the music industry. Instead, this group focused on becoming what is arguably one of the best disposable pop groups ever, and one of the greatest bands at performing true "stadium rock." This group was Queen, and they were embraced as one of England's most cherished bands (probably second only to the Beatles), while even finding moderate success in America as well."
