jet over the atlantic ( also known as high over the atlantic ) is a 1959 drama film directed by byron haskin and stars guy madison , virginia mayo , and george raft .

the film 's title was misleading as the airliner was a bristol britannia turboprop-engined , not " pure " jet-powered aircraft .

george raft 's biographer everett aaker called jet over the atlantic " a precursor of the disaster genre . "

for many people in britain there has been no avoiding the jet stream ' s effects . meteorologists say its high winds are responsible for bringing two ferocious atlantic storms to northern britain .
the latter phase of the flow evolution also included some modifications within the interior of the wag . as the atlantic jet deflected more predominantly into the northeast , some atlantic water from the strait entered directly into the wag , in agreement with earlier studies [ 8 ] , [ 37 ] , [ 38 ] . a small relatively weak cyclonic eddy was formed within the center of the gyre , possibly due to the instability of the jet . another stronger cyclonic eddy , located on the southern side of the gyre , may have originated from the closing branch of the wag well before it reached the south coast by the strong curvature and westward advection of the jet . this type of gyre structure offered a variant of the atlantic jet - wag system [ 10 ] .
airbus believes the hypersonic jet could have both civilian and military applications . in civilian trim , the craft could serve as private jet or as an airliner with room for 20 passengers . in military trim , the jet could serve as a hypersonic transport for commandos or as a reconnaissance plane like the sr71 blackbird .

this boom is seen as one of the main reasons concorde was not a commercial success , with noise complaints leading to it being banned from operating at high speed over land by many countries , negating the main attraction of travelling on the jet .
dozens of other flights also benefited from the jet stream’s winter surge , but those same windshave also triggered severe storms across britain .

i used to think i’d never meet an aeroplane disaster movie i didn’t like , but now i’m not so sure . this film is . . . weird . . . and not in a good way . in fact , i’m not sure that jet over the atlantic isn’t the universe’s way of punishing me for getting too much of a kick out of films about bombs on planes .
the rest of jet over the atlantic is very strangely constructed : it keeps feeling like bits are missing , as if they chopped out random scenes to make it shorter . it is also profoundly dishonest . while the random action of the poisonous fumes , which affect some people more than others , is actually likely , the fact that no - one dies but minor characters – minor spanish characters – is pretty damn tacky .
but what about flights over the ocean where there are no navigational aides ? aircraft follow tracks that are made up of predetermined sets of latitude and longitude coordinates across the ocean . for example , these are the north atlantic tracks ( the same general principle applies to the pacific ocean as well ) .
however , the intriguing thing about this scenario is that it parallels that offered by the other aeroplane disaster movie of 1959 , jet storm , wherein a grieving father plots to blow up a plane on which the man who killed his daughter in a hit - and - run is travelling , killing not only the guilty party but himself and everyone else in the process . jet over the atlantic was , as i say , an american production shot in mexico ; jet storm is british . the two films were released within two months of one another in their respective countries , and must have been in production at around the same time . it is hard to think that one could have influenced the other , which makes this a peculiar coincidence indeed .
the surface distribution of the vertical component of the relative vorticity normalized by the planetary vorticity at day 120 ( fig . 3c ) very closely resembled the surface flow and density fields ( fig . 3a , b ) . we recalled that the absolute value of this ratio is an estimation of the rossby number ; thus , it characterizes the degree of nonlinearity of the flow field . the circular path of the atlantic jet around the wag was related to the generation of an anticyclonic relative vorticity ( fig . 3c ) due to the upward tilting of the interface and compression of the upper layer flow along the strait [ 10 ] , [ 32 ] . the jet around the gyres was surrounded by several cyclonic eddies with positive relative vorticity and dense water patches . the eddy closest to the exit section was associated with the strong density gradient that set a strong vertical geostrophic shear and thus the generation of cyclonic vorticity [ 10 ] . this cyclonic vorticity deflected the atlantic jet towards the northwestern coast . further downstream , the outer flank of the jet generally featured a strong relative vorticity gradient from negative ( around −0 . 5 on the inner side ) to positive ( up to + 0 . 5 on the outer side ) in agreement with previous observations [ 39 ] . the rossby number reached values over 0 . 5 along the jet , which indicated its nonlinear character and the relevance of ageostrophic motion .

but it’s peculiar for another reason . both of these films were , self - evidently , inspired by the real - life bombing perpetrated by jack graham , who blew up a plane in order to murder his mother for her ( non - existent ) insurance money . yet although this actually happened , both jet storm and jet over the atlantic shy away from the sheer cold - bloodedness of it , offering instead bombers who have been driven insane by the death of a child , and who are suicidal as much as homicidal : bad enough , but not nearly as bad as the reality .
computer model guidance suggests that a u . s . landfall is within the realm of possibility , with a turn out into the north atlantic also still on the table .
the jet - front system was set up and maintained by the flow and stratification characteristics prescribed at the western inflow section . the atlantic jet entered from the strait of gibraltar at a fixed rate in the form of a buoyant surface intensified current in the absence of sub - inertial ( weekly to monthly ) variability in response to changing atmospheric pressure and wind patterns of the region . the jet remained stable and coherent without mesoscale - submesoscale variability in response to the frontal instabilities [ 5 ] , [ 7 ] , [ 12 ] , [ 22 ] , [ 37 ] , [ 38 ] , [ 54 ] , [ 57 ] , [ 58 ] .
what this means is that the weather pattern across the u . s . next week will probably feature a wavy jet stream . how this jet stream pattern interacts with irma will be a big question that forecasters hope to answer , since an east coast trough could help to sweep the storm out to sea .
a three dimensional biophysical model was employed to illustrate the biological impacts of a meandering frontal jet , in terms of efficiency and persistency of the autotrophic frontal production , in marginal and semi - enclosed seas . we used the alboran sea of the western mediterranean as a case study . here , a frontal jet with a width of 15–20 km , characterized by the relatively low density atlantic water mass , flows eastward within the upper 100 m as a marked meandering current around the western and the eastern anticyclonic gyres prior to its attachment to the north african shelf / slope topography of the algerian basin . its inherent nonlinearity leads to the development of a strong ageostrophic cross - frontal circulation that supplies nutrients into the nutrient - starved euphotic layer and stimulates phytoplankton growth along the jet . biological production is larger in the western part of the basin and decreases eastwards with the gradual weakening of the jet . the higher production at the subsurface levels suggests that the alboran sea is likely more productive than predicted by the satellite chlorophyll data . the mediterranean water mass away from the jet and the interiors of the western and eastern anticyclonic gyres remain unproductive .

this is , simultaneously , the most frustrating and the most interesting thing about jet over the atlantic . the screenplay never lets us in on what happened to laurie , or why sir robert thinks he was responsible for her death ; though for what it’s worth , lady leverett shakes her head vehemently when he accuses himself . since his guilt and grief are about to send sir robert into full - on angel - of - death mode , it would be kind of nice to know .

during the subsequent month ( fig . 2b ) , the anticyclonic eddy along the sw - ne - oriented african coast was detached and gradually dissipated within the basin . the anticyclonic gyre at the gibraltar exit section expanded gradually northward . the atlantic jet entering the basin as a zonal jet fed this gyre and flowed around it to the south coast . it then proceeded mainly eastward , whereas a weak branch turned westward to close the gyre circulation . later ( fig . 2c ) , the orientation of the atlantic jet shifted gradually towards the northeast and the anticyclone near the gibraltar exit section evolved to form a well - established wag structure covering the basin up to 3 . 5°w longitude . similarly , the coastal anticyclone to the east of cape tres forcas expanded offshore ( fig . 2b ) and evolved into a meridionally elongated eag between 2 . 5°w and 1 . 0°w ( fig . 2c ) . the meanders of the northern coast were eventually detached and made the westward boundary current along the spanish coast that is less well - depicted due to its interaction with the gyres . the region between the wag and eag was occupied by a cyclonic circulation ( fig . 2c ) .
according to patentyogi ' s deepak gupta , this means the airbus jet could make the trip from london to new york in just one hour . that ' s a significant improvement over the 3 1 / 2 hours it took for the now retired mach 2 concorde to make the same trip . the concorde was a joint venture between airbus ' two predecessors , france ' s aerospatiale and british aerospace .
the surface density distributions accompanying the circulation fields in fig . 2a–d show how the initial horizontally uniform dense water mass ( ∼27 . 8 kg m −3 ) was freshened and spatially structured up to the density range 27 . 0–27 . 5 kg m −3 by means of the steady inflow of atlantic water . at day 120 , the atlantic jet attained a surface current speed of 0 . 7 m s −1 and a density of 26 . 5 kg m −3 near the gibraltar exit section ( fig . 3a , b ) . they were modified to the ranges of 0 . 5–0 . 6 m s −1 and 26 . 5–26 . 8 kg m −3 around the wag , whereas the surface density of cyclonic eddies inside the wag exceeded 27 . 0 kg m −3 . the atlantic jet was separated from the ambient water mass by a well - marked narrow front identified by the density variations between 26 . 8 and 27 . 3 kg m −3 around the wag . however , it appeared to lose much of its initial momentum and weakened by half around the eag and further eastward along the coast ( fig . 3a ) . as the jet weakened , its density increased to the range 27 . 0–27 . 4 kg m −3 along the western side of the eag and 27 . 2–27 . 4 kg m −3 along its eastern side , with respect to an interior density of ∼27 . 1 kg m −3 . the southward spanish current flowing along the eastern side of the eag attained a speed of approximately 0 . 2 m s −1 and separated the alboran surface water mass from the rest of the basin further east ( fig . 3b ) . the weakening of the atlantic jet eastward was consistent with the gradual reduction of the zonal density gradient towards the eastern side of the model domain .
the 172 is still rolling off textron aviation’s production lines in wichita , kansas , which means that you don’t have to buy a secondhand model should you want one of your own . so if you live in the uk or europe , you have two options – partially disassemble the aircraft and pack it into shipping crates , or get it flown over the vast expanse of the north atlantic .
up on issuing from the gibraltar strait , the atlantic jet deflected northeastward , looped around the wag and proceeded eastward in the form of a boundary current along the north african shelf break / slope topography . its meandering around the wag was imposed mainly by the generation of anticyclonic relative vorticity due to the upward tilting of the interface and compression of the upper layer flow along the strait . another intense meander developed along the african coastline in response to perturbations developed in the boundary current triggered by the coastline irregularities and the topographic beta effect . in our model , the continuous supply of a fixed rate of atlantic water mass from the gibraltar strait caused the wag to cover the entire western alboran basin in its mature state . in reality , its growth is modulated by the subinertial variability of the upper layer transport across the strait and by the impacts of the regional atmospheric conditions on the alboran sea circulation system . despite such variability , the northeastern expansion of the wag and the presence of its front near the northern coast is a persistent feature of the atlantic jet - wag system as it is corroborated , for example , by the seasonal surveys carried out in 1996–97 in this region [ 14 ] , [ 50 ] . the mature state of the flow structures developed in our simulation resembles the one observed during december 1996 [ 9 ] .

the performed simulation from the biophysical model linked the efficiency and persistency of the autotrophic frontal production to the meandering atlantic jet of the upper layer circulation system of the alboran sea . the simulation started initially with nutrient - starved conditions , it excluded the horizontal nutrient transport from the gibraltar strait and also the likely modifications of ageostrophic vertical motion from other physical processes , such as wind - driven vertical advection and turbulence , and enhanced buoyancy - induced mixing by strong winter cooling . identifying the relative contributions of all of these processes remains to be explored in future studies .

a model was created to assess the performance of an ads - b receiver scheduled to be launched on the canx - 7 nanosatellite . the model takes into account neutral atmosphere and ionospheric effects , aircraft - satellite geometry , and antenna radiation patterns . the region of interest for this study is the north atlantic region as this area presently uses procedural air traffic services instead of radar - based services that are used over land . it is also relatively quiet in the 1090 mhz frequency band .
the average annual mean primary productivity of the alboran sea exceeds 100 gc m −2 yr −1 [ 11 ] , comparable to those observed in mesotrophic systems and among the highest within the oligotrophic mediterranean sea . a major part of the plankton productivity ( > 300 gc m −2 yr −1 ) appears to be associated with the atlantic jet , as documented by observations performed along the frontal zone around the wag [ 12 ] – [ 14 ] , the eag [ 6 ] , [ 15 ] – [ 17 ] and along the algerian coast [ 18 ] , [ 19 ] . the link between the frontal jet structure and phytoplankton production is so robust and persistent that it may appear in the form of a narrow zone of relatively high chlorophyll concentrations around the anticyclonic gyres even in the long - term mean winter ocean color data ( fig . 1 ) .

the roles played by different dynamical processes on the biogeochemical characteristics of the alboran sea have not yet been quantified . excluding the models that treated the alboran sea as a part of the western or the whole mediterranean sea [ 20 ] , [ 21 ] , the only coupled physical - biochemical modeling effort dedicated to the biochemical - physical interactions in the alboran sea [ 22 ] simulated the annual plankton production cycle in reasonable agreement with the observations system , but it did not explore the specific role of frontal dynamics . following the objectives of the socib ( balearic islands coastal ocean observing system ) strategic plan [ 23 ] , the present process study puts forth the meandering frontal jet to control the first order dynamics of the physical - biological interactions governing the observed biological production characteristics of the alboran sea . the individual roles of other physical factors ( such as wind , strong winter turbulence mixing , and modulation of the atlantic jet by tidal and subinertial variability within the gibraltar strait , etc . ) were not addressed here and were left for a future study .

whatever the cause , it has proved a boon to travellers . online flying forums were abuzz with passengers describing their own experiences of flights that had taken less than five and a half hours to cross the atlantic , along with reassuring messages from pilots that the speeds were well within the tolerances of modern planes .
ads - b data will be collected over the north atlantic region in the gander and shanwick oceanic control areas ( ocas ) . nav canada provides air traffic services in the gander oca and maintains archival data for the shanwick oca . this region was chosen since it is relatively quiet with respect to 1090 mhz transmissions and truth data will be available to assess the performance of the payload . ads - b information will be stored onboard the satellite then subsequently downlinked at utias . data analysis , including signal strength , lost transmissions , and signal collision probability will be conducted at rmcc .
the vertical density structure of the circulation field is depicted by fig . 4a for the transect that crosses the wag diagonally and then extends zonally across the eag towards the algerian basin ( see fig . 2d ) . it identified the low density anticyclonic gyres with isopycnals in the range of ∼27 . 0–28 . 0 kg m −3 deepening towards their centers within the upper 100 m layer and to 28 . 5 kg m −3 between 150–200 m . the latter represented the interface between the atlantic and mediterranean water masses , in agreement with previous observations [ 8 ] , [ 14 ] . two frontal zones for both the wag and the eag were identified by the upward sloping isopycnals greater than 27 . 5 kg m −3 towards the surface . the vertical structure of the jet accompanying these well - marked narrow frontal zones extended to 200 m with a gradual reduction in its strength from 0 . 7 m s −1 at the surface around the wag and 0 . 3–04 m s −1 elsewhere ( fig . 4b ) . as stated previously , the strength of the jet and its vertical dimension reduced eastward with the almeria - oran front being the weakest one .
to get off the ground , the craft will use two turbojets mounted under the fuselage as well as a rocket motor mounted in the rear . as the airbus lifts off the runway , it will climb vertically like the space shuttle . right before the jet reaches the speed of sound , the turbojets shut down and retract into the belly of plane — leaving only the rocket motor to guide it up to an altitude of more than 100 , 000 feet .

the wind stress and the total heat flux at the surface were set to zero to exclude the likely effects of wind - and buoyancy - induced vertical mixing , as well as the coastal upwelling / downwelling events on plankton production . the nitrate content of the initial nitrate profile within the upper 100 m layer was also set to zero in order to minimize the contribution of initially available nitrate for supporting plankton production . in addition , the advection of biological fields along the gibraltar strait were switched off to exclude the lateral supply of nutrients and biogenic material from the gibraltar strait . under these conditions , plankton production within the alboran sea originated solely from the diapycnal advective and diffusive fluxes provided from deeper levels by the quasigeostrophic and ageostrophic processes . in the subsequent section , we demonstrated that the ageostrophic processes dominate within the frontal jet and lead to strong plankton production , whereas the quasigeostrophic processes predominated away from the immediate vicinity of the frontal jet .

according to airbus , much of the plane ' s aerodynamics are designed to limit and reduce the sonic boom it will create when it reaches supersonic speed . in the 1970s , the concorde was beset by complaints of sonic booms and noise pollution created by its four rolls - royce olympus turbojet engines . consequently , it was prevented from operating over land .

flights enter and exit the track via a pair of waypoints on either side of the ocean so that all flights are properly aligned and air traffic control can estimate their position over the ocean correctly . you can even view each day’s nat tracks with a gold or business subscription to see which tracks are active and how busy they are .
stafford finds his fellow officers out on the tarmac . they are accompanied by a certain handcuffed individual who we recognise as goon # 1 , and who speaks bitterly about , “that stoolie ! ” the prisoner is taken over to the ambulance that is to transport mattoon , to identify him . instead he helpfully exclaims , “that ain’t the guy that squealed ! that’s the chump we framed ! ”
saudi - born bomb - maker ibrahim hassan al - asiri , believed to be a member of aqap , was also said to be behind a powerful bomb hidden in printer ink cartridges which was intercepted at a uk airport en route to the us in 2010 , where it was timed to detonate over the east coast .
the wag grew further toward the northern coast and eastward during the rest of the integration period ( up to day 120 ) ( fig . 2d ) . the steady growth was related to the continuous supply of the atlantic water mass at a steady rate . the eag expanded meridionally and towards the wag due to its interaction with a transient meander that developed off the cape tres forcas . therefore , both gyres tended to cover the entire meridional extent of the basin during their mature states . the spanish boundary current proceeded mainly southward , crossing the basin near the eastern flank of the eag and joined the algerian coastal current . this southward current , together with the eastern flank of the eag , formed the adjacent almeria ( spain ) –oran ( algeria ) front representing the eastward limit of the alboran sea circulation system [ 6 ] .
automatic dependent surveillance - broadcast ( ads - b ) is an air traffic surveillance technology in which aircraft transmit position and identification . the development of space - based ads - b will allow precise control of aircraft in areas that are not covered by radar , such as oceanic regions and high latitudes . the royal military college of canada has developed a spaceborne ads - b receiver scheduled to fly on the canadian advanced nanospace experiment - 7 ( canx - 7 ) satellite . the payload is planned to collect data over the north atlantic region , which will then be compared to truth data provided by air traffic services . a model was created to determine power levels arriving at the satellite to provide confidence in the ads - b receiver and antenna proposed for canx - 7 . the model takes into account neutral atmosphere and ionospheric effects , aircraft - satellite geometry , and antenna radiation patterns . a simulation was run by inserting real aircraft data from the north atlantic track system into the model and placing the satellite at altitudes of 400 , 600 , and 800 km . results of the simulation indicate that power received at the satellite , ranging between −98 . 5 dbm and −103 dbm for the selected altitudes , will be sufficient to successfully conduct the mission .
answer : civilian radar ends about 200 miles from the coast . a new york - to - london flight is an average of seven hours , and the portion when it ' s over the ocean and out of radar contact is four hours .

the available in situ observations may support the fact that the model replicated the dominant mechanism underlying plankton productivity in the region . for example , observations performed along a meridional transect extending from the spanish coast to the center of the wag during july and december 1996 [ 14 ] , [ 50 ] identified the frontal zone of the atlantic jet bordering the northern flank of the wag with relatively high geostrophic currents up to 0 . 75 m s −1 and chlorophyll concentrations up to 3 mg l −1 compared to concentrations less than 0 . 5 mg l −1 within the gyre interior . a similar survey performed during may 1998 [ 13 ] reported even higher chlorophyll concentrations up to 6 mg l −1 within the frontal jet zone . the may 1991 observations [ 26 ] along a north - south transect crossing the aeg meridionally also identified the frontal zone at the northern periphery of the eag by the upsloping of the nitracline , higher concentrations of chlorophyll - a , and particular organic nitrogen with respect to adjacent waters . as in the present study , these features were explained qualitatively in terms of the cross - frontal secondary circulation [ 15 ] , [ 26 ] . moreover , the primary production along the almeria - oran front on the eastern flank of the eag was found to be 2 . 5 times higher when compared to the more oligotrophic surrounding waters during the same observations [ 55 ] . they were also supported by 10 to 100 times higher vertical particle fluxes measured at 100 m and 300 m depths [ 56 ] . in situ measurements [ 16 ] , [ 17 ] have also detected anomalously high chlorophyll - a concentrations associated with the almeria - oran front along the eastern flank of the eag .

lodged their quarters somewhat nearer together
and brought faggots , presumably to make a bridge between their camps . count solmes and marshal villiers came this evening to see the fortifications ,
which they liked very well ;
they left next day . a ' drum ' of sir william stanley ' s surrendered .
as the film career began to fade , hulbert resumed his stage work , scoring notable hits in the hulbert follies and panama hattie . he died in sydney in the middle of a world cruise taken for the sake of his health .
clearly conveys , hirschfeld ' s critical view of europe ' s colonialist politics and its attendant christian - inspired ideology was underpinned by his jewish sense of belonging to an exiled and homeless people whose traces never failed to captivate his attention . thus , he mentions , for instance , his meeting in shanghai with arthur sopher , the author of a monograph titled
hirschfeld was well aware of the limited validity of his perceptions of asia as a result not only of the time and geographic constrictions of his journey , but also—and more importantly—of the specific cultural outlook that sustained his research and emancipatory endeavors . as a reserved foreigner prepared to relativise his cultural standards , hirschfeld observed with interest , for instance , that a picture of the imperial couple could be found in almost every japanese brothel room , and that the prostitute and her client would reverentially bow in front of the picture ' before proceeding , she to her business and he to his pleasure . '
despite his general distaste for organised religion , however , hirschfeld does not regard asceticism as a necessary component of religious worldviews .
although the relative popularity of the term ' third sex ' in the twentieth century was mainly due to hirschfeld , he repeatedly stressed that he never used the concept in his scientific publications , but only in the context of his political and educational writings .
he had a hit with the gershwin musical primrose in 1924 and spent the rest of the decade in musical comedy . 1924 was also the year in which he married his wife enid trevor . hulbert scored one of his greatest successes in r . k . o . loudspeakers in 1931 though he largely abandoned the stage in the 30s to concentrate on his film and broadcasting career .
its merely tactical - rhetorical postulation does not entail a revocation of his fundamental insight that ' all human beings are intersexual variants . '
having coped for decades with the christian prejudice against sexual minorities , hirschfeld was well prepared to present his sexological contentions in cultural settings dominated by the mighty ideologies of far - eastern religions . his general assessment of the situation in asia is pointedly reflected in a passage of
hirschfeld ' s claim that his own sexological teachings resumed and prolonged classical asian traditions was certainly instrumental in eliciting from his audiences an overwhelming response to the educational and emancipatory ideals he advocated . thus , after reminding his audience in patna , india , during an english - held address that ' sex and love are as old as mankind , but [ that ] sexology is the youngest of all sciences , '
his lordship advised the governor to issue a new proclamation commanding soldiers never to walk without their arms or leave their quarters : the former proclamation much disobeyed . this night the enemy
entrenched himself within caliver - shot of wau port .
this morning the lord general and the governor decided to make a sally there , but put it off because captain bannester brought a false report that the enemy was
drawing down round about .
might have undone the night ' s work in a couple of hours . the evening after very foul .
hirschfeld ' s interest in the role religion plays in the sexual cultures of asia is hardly surprising if one recalls that , since childhood , the jewish sexologist had to deal with the religious and racial bias of his christian surroundings . his frank identification with the ideals of german enlightenment and
hirschfeld also refers to his conversations in calcutta with baghdad - jews , and in bombay with a coloured jewess who came originally from south india .

among the many issues hirschfeld deals with in his travel report , none seems to have engrossed his attention the way that prostitution did . in japan he visited for study purposes the famous ' gay - quarters ' —i . e . the brothel districts—of tokido in osaka , and yoshiwara and shimbuko in tokyo .
at the time hirschfeld embarked for america , he had no inkling that his trip would mark the beginning of his personal exile . becoming only gradually aware of the threats the pre - 1933 developments in germany meant to his life and work , hirschfeld began to reflect on the quintessential nexus between nomadic existence and freedom at the beginning of jewish history . recalling ' that the currently sedentary nations , before finding home and stable , wandered around without any restrictions , '
the woman was very fond of the cat . in fact , she was sometimes heard to say , “sir puss is the most beautiful cat in all of christendom ! ” in his turn , sir puss seemed fond enough of the woman , although it’s fair to say that his affections were largely down to food .

india ' s taj mahal . although many of hirschfeld ' s elaborations in this respect are clearly designed to acquit religion per se from the charge of being inimical to sexuality and erotic love , his overall line of argument seeks to show that no historical religion is capable of satisfying the theoretical and emancipatory demands made by his sexology .

the critical commitments that underlie hirschfeld ' s emancipatory stance were not limited to his challenge of the distributional scheme of binomial sexuality . toward the end of his life and prompted by the rise of nazism , hirschfeld sketched out a conceptualisation of race based on biological assumptions comparable to those of the doctrine of sexual intermediaries and leading to similar deconstructive results .
during his stay in america , hirschfeld decided to extend his travel . he left san francisco for the far east in march 1931 , and eventually visited japan , china , indonesia , india , the philippines , egypt and palestine . echoing the enthusiastic reception of hirschfeld in america , indian scholars addressed him as ' the modern vatsayana of the west , '
notwithstanding , hirschfeld—unlike many jews of his generation—remained to the end an opponent of baptism as a means of social integration . far from seeking assimilation with the christian majority , hirschfeld openly admitted that his own advocacy of sexual minority rights was largely a struggle against the age - old sexual ideology of christianity . mindful of his own biography , hirschfeld stressed that jews and homosexuals were ' the world ' s scapegoats , who , since the introduction of christianity , have been held responsible for all the suffering and misery in this world . '
[ sexual science ] , the monumental compendium of hirschfeld ' s life work , reiterates and explicates the challenge his doctrine of sexual intermediaries poses to the immemorial ideology of binary sexuality .
the decade was a productive one . his brand of silly - ass comedy was much in demand and , though not an original cast member , he fitted right into the aldwych farces a night like this and thark . his best - remembered work however came in the 40s when he teamed up with will hay for the ghost of st michael ' s and my learned friend .
on these conditions they released him and restored him to his former government , except that they were to be privy to all that he wrote to her majesty , the council , or willoughby .
instead of reuniting nina ' s son john with bernard , his father , huxley made john the d . h . c .

huxley traveled across america on the final leg of his round - the - globe journey in 1925 - 26 . summing up this trip in
the outlook for american culture ,
he declared that america had shown him the
immediately coming civilization
( 1 ) . during spring and summer 1931 , events of the last decade coalesced for him . huxley connected his negative vision of america in 1926 with his mounting disbelief in the utopian possibilities of mexico and the american southwest as they had been set forth in the plumed serpent ( 1926 ) and mornings in mexico ( 1927 ) . he brought this vision of fordian america and his increasing disdain for lawrence ' s southwest to bear on the contempt he had felt for wells ' s men like gods ( 1923 ) .
excuses his temerity in writing , because it is on behalf of one so esteemed by her majesty and the lords of her court as is the seigneur de sonoy , and in the matter of those debts of 4000 florins which he cannot pay without selling his possessions , his means being at most 500 florins de rentes , and his possessions being in the enemy ' s hands . the 4 months ' delay in fulfilling her majesty ' s promises to the writer has ruined sonoy and his friends . her majesty told him that she thought sonoy was informed as soon as leicester arrived in england of the earl ' s resignation of the government , whereas actually it was always concealed from him . the earl of leicester told him that he had means enough to maintain the governor sonoy in england if her majesty did not , but leicester is dead . sonoy acted by the earl ' s command and in acting lost all—friends , goods , and some five or six thousand florins of wages ; therefore he now wishes walsingham to secure him an audience with her majesty that he may explain his position to her . can certify the truth of all this , as he has for 15 years managed his affairs . sonoy is a man of few words , therefore michel writes this . must lament the loss of the late earl of leicester , who gave him a house at wanstadt and 40 l . stirling de rente , and spoke to her majesty in his favour to get him a benefice . the earl ' s death has deprived him of this means . —grootebrouch , 28 september , 1588 , stilo novo .

such as should come to this service being appointed , they unanimously chose the writer as their leader , and took him out of prison after he had sworn not to seek revenge for his great injuries .
in making this assertion , hirschfeld was certainly drawing on his personal experience as a jewish non - aryan traveling through asia and confronting the greatest cultural diversity ever brought about by the racial spectrum of humankind .
his principled critique of sexual colonialism , however , did not hinder hirschfeld from denouncing the autochthonous exploitation of women , or even young girls , for instance , in the context of south indian temple prostitution .
he was not prepared to relativise his stance when condemning murderous or life - threatening practices such as widow burning , the exposure of female babies or the circumcision of women . while admitting that hinduism and buddhism are more tolerant religions than christianity with regard to non - normative sexualities , hirschfeld never concealed his dismay in view of the roles women have been forced to assume in the social fabric of far eastern cultures .

considering hirschfeld ' s basic premises , it becomes apparent that he did not intend to establish—as his critics often suggest—a theory of homosexuality as a ' third sex ' intermediate between the heterosexual male and the heterosexual female .

when aldous huxley revised the brave new world typescript ( 1 ) between 27 may and 24 august 1931 , he strove to americanize his dystopia . his cleverest expedient was to ink in additional insults to henry ford , so that a novel that began as a satiric rendition of the future according to h . g . wells grew increasingly anti - fordian . with ford as synonym and stand - in , each new uncomplimentary use of his name further condemned the world state for being america writ large . mustapha mond ' s jurisdiction forms part of an insanely rational society for which several of huxley ' s finest holograph insertions blame america ' s archetypal technocrat .
they have received her majesty ' s letters , but their intercession with the prince their lord has not availed to procure restitution of certain english merchants ' confiscated goods . as the goods were inadequately described , his highness is unable to dispense with the punishment appointed for this breach of his commands . they pray that they may not be blamed for this decision , especially as no advantage to themselves has resulted from it . will further petition the prince to remit some part of his right and , if possible , to restore the said goods . pray that their state may remain in her majesty ' s grace and favour . —königsberg , 18 september , ' 88 .
in point counter point ( 1928 ) , huxley ' s spokesperson , mark rampion , condemns
americanization
as the deification of
machinery and alfred mond or henry ford . . . in the name of society , progress , and human happiness
( 415 - 16 ) . initially , huxley believed his archvillain in brave new world could be a caricature of either sir alfred mond or henry ford , hence the choice of the former ' s surname for the world controller ' s . however , by the time mustapha mond enters the novel in chapter 3 , he is hailed as
his lordship
( bnw 37 ) , henry ford ' s disciple and successor - - not
alfred mond or henry ford
but both . the current resident controller for western europe is named for a figure familiar to british readers , but the position he occupies relates to an american industrialist , known the world over , who had made businesses such as sir alfred ' s possible . mond continues a parodic papal succession that makes the ford factory and the wellsian scientific utopia extensions of each other .

the second footman william assists the first footman thomas in serving at table , opening doors , hauling luggage , polishing silver and shoes and anything else that his easy - going nature can be imposed upon to undertake . he reports directly to mr . carson who is stern with him , but most of the abuse comes from thomas by way of insults and dumping his work on him . he has a crush on daisy , the kitchen maid , but she only has eyes for thomas . raised on a farm , his mother wanted him to go in service in a big house to better himself . william has only ever wanted to work with horses , not serving canapés and champagne to toffs .
the head housemaid or parlormaid , anna holds the highest ranking of the lower female servants . responsible for cleaning main rooms and bedrooms by dusting , changing bed linens , drawing the curtains and sweeping floors , she reports directly to mrs . hughes . she also acts as maid to the three crawley daughters mary , edith and sybil , though they do not seem very appreciative of it . hardworking , reliable and compassionate , she has improved her station in life from her family’s tenant farmer background . she is an ally of mr . bates , and feels deeply for his physical challenges . determined to understand him more , she unearths his secret , and the reason why he will not act on his feeling for her .
the viceroy and bassaies batten upon him like ravens upon carrion , and , whilst enriching themselves at his expense , do all they can to oppugn his former government . they keep sinan bassa ( the late viceroy and recently bassa of damasco ) and encourage him to ask for the admiralty , seeking at the same time to terrify hassan with tales of his liberality ,
meaning thereby not to fleece him only , but even to shear him bare .
they maintain privily certain who accuse him of intercepting , when he was beglerbye of argier , presents from the king of fess to the grand signor , and of killing the ambassadors . hitherto he has always extolled her majesty to the other bassaies , and has now handed over to barton an english captive brought by the galleys from tunis . he promises that soon there shall not be one english captive left in turkey and that his friendship with barton shall be as strong as the enmity between their predecessors .
distinctly conveys , hirschfeld attained in this decisive period of his life a deeper understanding of the jew as the ' eternal wanderer , ' whose ancestral history of nomadic freedom belies the inveterate christian misconception of the eternally doomed ' jewish ahasver . '
taking account of the entanglements of power in asia , hirschfeld castigated not only the repressive politics of the colonial regimes of the time , but also the curtailment of personal freedom resulting from the millenarian traditions of the colonised nations themselves . hence , his critique of european imperialistic policies did not prevent him from scorning the idealisation of cultural differences commonly associated with asia ' s exoticism . although hirschfeld hinted at the cultural relativity of his views on issues such as necrophilia among the tamils in the malabar coast
as the butler of a grand manor house like downton abbey , mr . carson is the senior male domestic servant and shares the management of the house with the housekeeper . he is in charge of the pantry , wine cellar , dining room , silver , kitchen and the male staff who report to him . butlering is a time honored position in the hierarchy of service to a great family estate like downton , and carson wears his mantle with pride and dignity . like other household servants , butlers were required to remain single and focused entirely on the family that they were serving . carson has worked at downton since he was a boy and compares events and actions against the high standards that he has known in the past . because of his longstanding relationship with the family his allegiance is to violet , the dowager countess and not with his current mistress cora . ironically , he supports their desire to break the entail for lady mary even though it is against the norm and not in line with tradition .

recalling lawrence in new mexico - - on the fringe , that is , of an expanding industrial state indifferent to his appeals to its
aboriginal
past - - huxley predicted his former mentor ' s increasingly marginal significance as a social prophet . whether john is in malpais or fordian london , he never fits in , much less sparks a general renewal . on the reservation , the savage is resented as an anomaly ; transported to london , he becomes a novelty , not the world state ' s redeemer but its latest curiosity .
despite the wealth of evidence he reports , however , hirschfeld avoided making elaborate emancipatory claims concerning the sexual minorities he encountered throughout his journey . given the pervasiveness of the oppression of women in asia , hirschfeld considered their emancipation the most urgent task of any libertarian sexual politics .
on november 15 , 1930 magnus hirschfeld set out for the united states , where he had planned a lecturing tour . acknowledged at the time as one of the most eminent theorists in the history of sexology , he was saluted upon his arrival as ' dr . einstein of sex . '
nearly three months after the missive to mrs . roberts , huxley completed an enormous redoing . in a letter to his father late in august , he sighed with relief at having
got rid of
a
satirical novel about the future
( letters 351 ) . ( 23 ) between 27 may and 24 august 1931 , huxley transformed brave new world from a burlesque of
the wellsian utopia
into a modern
satirical novel
of ideas about
the future
in general . his quarrel was with the oncoming situation and all who were bringing it about .
much of the americanization of the world state depends on huxley ' s clever uses of henry ford ' s name . prominent places and famous landmarks , such as charing cross tower (
charing - t tower
[ bnw 68 ] ) and big ben (
big henry
[ 99 ] ) , have been renamed for ford ; the highest religious and temporal authority , mustapha mond , is addressed respectfully by fordian titles , namely ,
our ford
or
his lordship
( 35 , 37 ) . in 306 pages , one counts at least 110 references to ford and things fordian . in chapter 3 , with a total of 19 allusions to ford , they come in clusters - - on pages 60 , 62 , and 63 , for example . in chapter 5 , which has no fewer than 21 references to ford , eight occur on pages 91 - 92 . chapter 4 , which makes only one reference to ford , may have been written earlier , before chapters 3 and 5 . when bernard discusses with lenina their trip to new mexico , she asks if it will start from
the charing - t tower
( 68 ) .
as they were quietly going in through the ' port , ' one turned back , and refused to go in without money , which conway promised him . but he thereupon refused to go in unless all were given money , and despite conway ' s promise that all should be satisfied , called to the soldiers to stay . conway seized him and ordered the sergeant - major to take him into ward , whereupon he drew his sword upon conway and shouted to the soldiers
to help him if they were men .
at least a hundred drew their swords and the guard bent their pikes against conway to keep him out . conway drew his rapier ,
ran in
the chief of them , exchanged the rapier for a pike , and aided by the sergeant - major and his own men won the ' port , ' whereupon they all ran away , crying
arm , arm .
his unambiguous rejection of christianity , however , never led hirschfeld to accept jewish religious orthodoxy or political zionism as possible solutions of the heatedly debated question of jewish identity . instead , he opted for a secular understanding of judaism focused on the realisation of universal humanness as the true and final aim of history .
in view of the unsettling consequences hirschfeld ' s doctrine entails , it is not surprising that post - world war ii german scholarship has consistently avoided dealing with the deeper aspects of hirschfeld ' s sexological thought , and thereby contributed to the on - going misrepresentation and underrating of his work as a whole .
when bernard telephones helmholtz watson from new mexico , he learns that the d . h . c . is planning to follow through on his threat to send him to iceland . huxley worked into chapter 6 two preparations for bernard ' s discovery of the d . h . c . ' s son instead of his own : the director ' s earlier threat to exile bernard - - it occurs in section 2 , right after the d . h . c . ' s revelation of his own trip to the reservation ( bnw 114 ) - - and the phone call to watson . of the seven references to ford in chapter 6 , two appear during bernard ' s interview with the d . h . c . and another two are part of the telephone call . a fifth - -
our ford loved infants
( bnw 109 ) - - is one of the four holograph emendations discussed earlier .
originally , as bernard ' s contemporary , watson too would have been old enough to be john ' s father . in the revised typescript , where he is the 25 - year - old bernard ' s closest friend , watson still gives the impression of being an older , maturer person ; as his enlightenment begins , he experiences a secondary adolescence , a supplementary growth or rebirth . although huxley conceived watson ' s expanded role late , he managed to make his importance clear by chapters 15 - 17 , the confrontation with mond . in contrast , huxley compromised bernard marx by inserting two handwritten paragraphs in which he invites miss keate to one of his parties to meet the savage . huxley also typed in the advances bernard makes to eton ' s headmistress during the showing of the penitentes film ( ts 152 - 54 ) . before bernard became popular as the savage ' s guide , he frowned on casual sex .
hirschfeld dismisses the possibility of resolving them by means of the asceticism preached by most world religions . thus not surprisingly , hirschfeld underscores the affinity between his own thought on sexuality and the eroticism permeated with the ethical , but a - religious principles of confucius , whom hirschfeld apostrophised as ' the chinese nietzsche . '
hirschfeld proceeded to pay tribute to such outstanding indian forerunners of sexual science as barburavya , king of penchal , gonikaputra , dattaka and vatsayana . at the same time , hirschfeld reminded his listeners , ' a short time after this classical period… , a long period came of nearly 2000 years , in which only theologists [
few explicit references to our ford or america can be found in the first 27 pages of the brave new world typescript . this suggests that the first chapter of the novel was completed before huxley fused henry ford ' s america with h . g . wells ' s worldwide utopia as his novel ' s target . once he did so , brave new world became increasingly anti - fordian : one definite and two possible references in chapter 1 increase to five in chapter 2 ; the count rises to 19 by the third chapter , where the d . h . c . ' s allusion to ford in his flivver is the ninth reference .
by the time huxley penned the savage ' s suicide , however , lawrence ' s influence , waning steadily since his death , had faded almost completely . lawrence ' s excessive admiration for america may have been the last straw . doubtless , lawrence was sincere in declaring that new mexico had
liberated [ him ] from the present era of civilization , the great era of material and mechanical development
( phoenix 42 ) . but huxley foresaw no such liberation . the more he reconsidered , the more ineffectual new mexico seemed , an eminently ignorable appendage to the real america that ford and his ilk not only epitomized but were exporting worldwide .
in his search for prehistoric traces in current cultural configurations , hirschfeld ascertained the unabated magical and ritual relevancy of lingams in widely dispersed locations between japan and western india . he mentions for instance that remains of a phallus cult associated with hopes for fertility and male progeniture have survived in japanese rural areas independently of buddhism and shinto .
done with purple ribbon and essentially free of emendations , ts 119 stops three quarters of the way down the page once it has overlapped the lines crossed out on the much older ts 120 . bernard asks john to tell him all about his life
as far back as you can remember ,
and the savage recalls that
their sorrow at the earl of leicester ' s death . praise his zeal for the true religion and the preservation of these low countries . they hope her majesty will make good their loss by some more signal favour . they thank god for her glorious victory over the spaniards . —utrecht , 18 september , 1588 , stylo veteri .
like in the case of his sexual doctrine , hirschfeld ' s elaborations on race are guided by jean - baptiste lamarck ' s philosophical contention that , with regard to the infinite fullness of inherited characteristics and forms , ' all classifications of living beings are ultimately only
artificial instrumentalities
: nature itself … acknowledges neither classes nor species . '
next morning ( sunday ) the victualler ' s man arrived with some provision of corn , and many soldiers were at the waterside
to see the goings forth of the boats and the comings in .
a few evil disposed soldiers threw the victualler ' s man off the bridge into the haven , and when he regained the shore pelted him with ' clotts ' and stones . captain hody and the sergeant - major tried to restore order , but the soldiers disregarded them
by reason their officers laughed at their doings and gave no admonition of redress .
captain hody was himself hit once or twice , and threatened to draw his rapier upon them , but they rudely answered that it belonged not to his charge .
huxley demoted bernard from virile protagonist to farcical antihero , a process that coincided with the savage ' s decline from lawrencian standard - bearer to futile alternative . huxley transformed marx into a smallish man with a large inferiority complex ; he transferred bernard ' s original physique and potential for rebellion to helmholtz watson . no longer intent on making bernard and john father and son , huxley chose watson , not bernard , for john ' s closest friend . in chapter 13 , john has
made up his mind to talk to helmholtz about lenina
( bnw 222 ) ; his confidant in the typescript was
bernard
( ts 179 ) . when the savage instigates a riot , helmholtz plunges in while marx hesitates on the sidelines .
the d . h . c . says he took his new mexico trip
twenty - five
years ago , when he was bernard ' s age ( bnw 111 ) . because brave new worlders do not age visibly , the unnamed narrator finds it
hard
to pinpoint the d . h . c . ' s age - -
thirty ? fifty ? fifty - five ?
( 3 ) . if one assumes the director is in his fifties , having abandoned linda a quarter of a century ago , john and bernard are both roughly 25 . in huxley ' s original conception , a less comical , potentially more heroic bernard would have been the director ' s age , that is , twice john ' s .
huxley did not tour mexico until 1934 ; he did not visit the american southwest around taos until 1937 . for chapter 7 in the typescript , he relied on the plumed serpent and lawrence ' s essays in mornings in mexico ( 1927 ) . bernard and lenina witness a mixture of zuni and hopi rituals that provide a contrapuntal variation on the solidarity service bernard attends in chapter 6 . as parodies of each other , malpais and the brave new world exhibit variant forms of barbaric behavior . john ' s recollections , the bulk of chapter 8 , make sense with or without bernard ' s request for them . as john begins to remember , the narrative moves inside his mind ; thanks to indirect discourse , the savage does not speak his reverie aloud to bernard .
. the interpretation of this doctrine as an open - ended scheme of sexual distribution superseding all closed systems of categorial subsumption was propounded for the first time by the present author in his 1998 essay ' der tod adams . geschichtsphilosophische thesen zur sexualemanzipation im werk magnus hirschfelds ' [ ' the death of adam : historical - philosophical theses concerning sexual emancipation in the work of magnus hirschfeld ' ] .
mr . tressam also wants him to write to the lord chancellor on his behalf
to make his way
: he can do good service , it seems . if orders be sent by some discreet man to barny at calysse , the matter could proceed . begs burghley to think the best of him ( conway ) until he hears the truth of the late disorders here . burghley ' s last letter fell into the soldiers ' hands and convinced them that conway had written for pay , lendings , and better victuals , whereupon they were filled with remorse for their past unkindness towards him , and resolved that he alone should have the credit for ending their disorder . hearing of this , he spoke earnestly to them and successfully concluded the matter . — ostend , 14 september , 1588 .
the position of chauffeur in 1912 was a fairly new necessity to the aristocratic class . automobiles were quickly replacing horse and carriage as the chosen mode of transport , and the replacement of the retiring chauffeur with branson is a must for the earl and his family . branson is responsible for transport the crawley’s to their daily activities and the maintenance of the fleet of automobiles used for their personal service . he reports directly to the earl , and is not considered part of the household staff , nor is he part of the outdoor servants either . branson not only brings chauffeuring expertise to downton , his political ideologies connect with the earl’s youngest daughter sybil , who finds they share a passion for social justice and progressive politics which leads to an adventure that turns dangerous for lady sybil and branson’s position at downton .
as the enemy long hovered about berghen and all intelligences assured his intention of besieging it , the lord general went to the hagh to seek aid from the states . on september 13 , being informed more certainly of the enemy ' s intention , he hastened to berghen , arriving on saturday afternoon , the 14th . the enemy were then
encamped on every side the town , within cannonshot .
immediately afterwards they advanced towards the stenberghen port , but were repulsed ( with heavy loss , as a captured lieutenant - colonel of the regiment lately barlaymont ' s confesses ) by a sally . a scots lieutenant , who surrendered that evening , confesses that at the same time the duke of parma had two pages slain by a cannon - shot and a marquis had his horse killed as they rode round the town on antwerp side .
