Legends of the SkyThe Jenny | Wednesday, 7 p.m.
Travel back to the era of the early aviation pioneers as they competed to build a newer, better, and faster aeroplane for America just as the drums of war were sounding in Europe. The JN4 "JENNY" aeroplane became the first mass produced aerial trainer, the first to carry the U.S. Mail, the first to introduce America to the sky through its colorful barnstorming story, and the plane that taught such greats as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart to fly. A combination of stunning HD aerial footage, historic newsreels and photographs, interviews with aviation experts and more bring the long-lost story of the JENNY to life.

During the special, Graves gives a private tour of the house, a repository for his cherished collections, a laboratory for his design ideas and, most importantly, his beloved home for more than 40 years.

Howells, writing a note for the BBC in 1940, went on to say that he had added eleven other pieces, each named after a friend.
So there came into the book 'Fellowes's Delight' (for Dr E H Fellowes, the great madrigal authority), 'Hughes's Ballet' (for the Irish composer-critic), 'Samuel's Air' (for Harold Samuel, pianist), 'De la Mare's Pavane' (for Walter de la Mare, the poet); 'Sir Hugh's Galliard' concerns Sir Hugh Allen, Professor of Music in Oxford University; 'Sargent's Fantastic Sprite' is for Dr Malcolm Sargent, conductor; and 'Foss's Dump' for Hubert Foss of the Oxford Press. 'My Lord Sandwich's Dreame' is for the Earl of Sandwich – poet as well as Peer of the Realm. H E Wortham (most famous now as 'Peterborough' of London's Daily Telegraph) has 'Wortham's Grounde'; and 'Sir Richard's Toye' was for Sir Richard Terry of Westminster Cathedral fame.
After Lambert's early death his work was continued by Thomas Goff (the dedicatee of the later Howells' Clavichord). Howells wished to commemorate Lambert's life and work in a 'garland' of tributes consisting of a series of twelve pieces written by composers who had been photographed by him. All who were approached agreed, but in the event none put pen to paper. Howells therefore decided to write the whole collection himself.
Tributes following the composition of this work were many and fulsome. Walter de la Mare wrote that 'it was a quite unexpected joy that awaited me inside the package'. John Gardner wrote of 'De la Mare's Pavane' (always the most popular piece of the set): 'I was absolutely spellbound by it & have had its stately, sad & tender first phrase running thro' my head for the past hour. A gem if ever there was one, & proof t., granted the genius & skill, artificial rubies are a possibility!'
Sir Richard Terry writing in The Queen (7 November 1928) made the most searching observations when he wrote:
Sooner or later it was bound to come that some modern English composer would set himself or herself to write music for these resuscitated instruments of the past. The danger would have been considerable, had the first attempts been mere imitations of the old idiom.
Luckily the first attempt has been made by one whose creative musicianship cannot be called into question; whose sympathy with both the Tudor instruments and Tudor composers is undeniable, and above all it has been made by one who is content (out of the plenitude of his critical knowledge of Tudor music) to reproduce the spirit of the old music rather than to give us a mere reproduction of its mannerisms or a repetition of its cliches.
Mr Howells has absorbed all the wealth and variety of Tudor rhythms, but keeps his own individuality intact. His music is modern inasmuch as he uses chords and progressions unknown in Tudor times, but the spirit of the old composers is there all the while. In other words, he and his instruments are one.

"Raw elegance" said Miuccia Prada following her wonderfully tender Autumn Winter 2013 show. "There are so many restrictions today. It's outmoded to be romantic - not for me personally but in the world. So you have to have something nasty too." By nasty the first lady of Italian fashion - or just fashion, actually - presumably meant the vaguely industrial nature of the cinematic backdrop with its fire escapes and metal screens. It was populated, though, with wistful projections of black cats, birds in flight and the silhouette of a loan female. She was also talking about the flat tractor-soled shoes which, she explained, "I had to really fight with my assistant to get in."
In fact, this was probably the most personal collection the designer has sent out for years, featuring many of her favourite things, most of which her audience struggled for some time to understand but which she has stood by ensuring the world is a more interesting place to be. Among them are the colour brown: sequinned and embroidered pieces came in that hue which is far from the most predictable or obviously commercial shade. Then there were heavy tweeds in a signature sludgy and gently jarring palette of mustard and burnt orange, turquoise and green.
"We wanted to elevate the humble and camouflage the rich" Prada said and, again, this is something she understands well and realises with unparalleled sensitivity. A fabric as basic as gingham was trimmed with an oversized gauntlet sleeve whispering of the drama of Hollywood's Golden Age, the most delicate beaded cocktail dress was worn over nothing more haute than a chunky grey rib knit.
"We felt it was important to be very human," the designer concluded and with its mix of high and low, toughness and whimsy, pragmatism and escapism this was just that - and more.

Contract can be formed by company's actions, High Court rules
The actions of two companies can lead to a binding contract being formed even if there is a mistake in the terms of the contract itself, the High Court has ruled. The High Court determined that a contract had existed between Statoil ASA and TTMI Sari because Statoil had paid TTMI for delivering its freight – even though there …
A typo
Should be Sempra Energy, not Sempa...
Other than that - demurrage (penalties for vessel's idle time beyond an agreed laytime limit in ports) is a legal cesspit. Anything can happen there...
And, anyway, a constructive contract is not such a unique event...
I don't know about cesspit...
But vessel owners have an expensive resource on their hands, and idle time costs money. If you can't return the resource (book to a library, rental car to the agency, 'escort' to the pimp) when agreed to, expect to be charged overtime.
What's the news here?
Offer, Acceptance, Consideration, Intention to create legal relations.This seems like first term contract law. What am I missing?
I am not sure I follow this.
Basically this says that the agreement between Statoil and TTMI which involves a payment for services means there is an implied contract.
Have I missed something?
Common sense being used?
shiver me timbers.
@what's the news here
You are working as a contractor. They decide not to pay you on the basis that your contract was with Megacorp and they are in fact megacorp-uk (a wholly owned subsiduary of megacorp bermuda holdings holdings ltd)
This ruling says - "come of it, you're getting paid".
Had this happen to me....
BBC paid the contractor, then the contractor refused to pay me, the sub contractor, because of a miss-print in their contract papers..
Only the big guys get to fight it out in court, the little guys get shafted.
Seems a fair exception
The exception being that the reality of an existing yet unsigned arrangement just indicates that administrators have to catch up with real world events.
Not to do so would probably bring an internal conflict (think civil war) to one or both organisations?
And such conflict would not be good for any senior or executive managers never mind for the board itself?
Hint: it would imply that the Board is out of touch with reality
It implies at least one side doesn't employ enough lawyers
Seriously, in-house counsel would just said "pay up", although internal politics usually play a part in this sort of thing.
The case law on this situation goes back over a century, and it's clear: if you behave as if there's a contract, there's a contract. In shipping and industry, there'll be common practices which the court will imply the parties intended to be bound by.
Trust me, I'm not a lawyer.
This is well established already
If you do a regular job for someone and they regularly pay you for it, that's a contract. It's a bit unusual for a written contract to be re-written by the actual way the parties carry on, there is usually a clause that says you can't do that, you have to actually change the written contract.

I very rarely enjoy Heidi Klum on a red carpet. There's usually too much going on. Tiers, feathers, straps, chains, too much going on. Which is why last night was such a refreshing surprise. It was a neutral dress in colour and shape. And then a splash of interesting around the neck. Didn't make me fall over with admiration, but compared to this Full Story
Worst Dress as an Organism: Heidi Klum
Etalk has sent me on two or three baking shoots. And each time I've had to ice a cake. You're supposed to hold the icing bag and delicately pulse it around in the shape of shells or rosebuds. I suck at it. My sh-t ends up looking like whatever it is growing on Heidi Klum's dress which, at first, I thought was clumpy cake icing but as the night wore on and as more photos emerged, became something even more terrifying.

Never in Paris, OK in Milan
Remember when Karl Lagerfeld dismissed Heidi Klum because: "I don't know her. She was never in Paris." It's one of my favourite quotes of all time, and that's something coming from a crazy bitch who's good for it every time he opens his mouth. Click here Full Story
Le Karl losing his touch?
There was a rumour circulating last week that Karl Lagerfeld was being replaced at Chanel. Obviously a major development. The rumour was swiftly debunked. Karl is still perched in place… But at 75, maybe Karl – blasphemy! – is losing his touch? It's not possible. Full Story
Oscar Rerun: Heidi Klum
Why does Heidi Klum go to the Oscars? Don't understand why she's invited year after year. Nothing against her but there's just no sense to it. None. And didn't she wear almost the same thing last time? It was red, and kinda origami-ish, and if not for the hair, could you tell it apart? Not really. Full Story
Heidi Klum gets the bitchbeating fan
From the mouth! Heidi is launching Top Model in Germany and has been criticised by local fashion queens, among them some dude called Wolfgang Joop, who said she was "fat" and also Karl Lagerfeld who has delivered a dressing down the only way he can. (Heidi Klum) is more bling bling and glamorous than current fashion. Full Story
Overdressed, overtried, overold
It's Hayden Panettiere at the Madonna concert last night with red lips, heels, all black and a plunging neckline. She's 18! At a concert! Heidi Klum wore jeans, Kate Moss was casual, so was Lucy Liu, especially Isla Fisher…but Hayden had to be Hayden. Like a 40 years old. Only time she dresses her age is when other people do it for her on her tv show. Full Story
Worst Emmy Poppins: Heidi Klum
If you're Heidi Klum, after squeezing 15 children out of that tiny body, and having it bounce back so enviously quickly, would you dress like half of Mary Poppins? This is what she wore during arrivals. She changed more times than she's had babies but still… the dress she chose when she'd be most photographed was an Armani. Full Story
Hollywood Mom birthday party
How 'bout it moms? Is this what you wear to celebrate your son's 6th birthday? It was Romeo Beckham's day yesterday so his mom organised a party with all her famous friends at Universal Studios Hard Rock Cafe. While he and his brother dressed up as superheros, as usual, Victoria's bones were balanced atop her ubiquitous stilettos in a short tangerine jumper that matched her skin. Full Story
The Worst Heidi
It's all relative, of course. Heidi Klum's worst is everyone else's impossible best. But last night at the Peabody Awards was an example of how a beautiful woman can age herself horribly. And it was far from Heidi's best. Not really sure what is it but she looks like there'd be vodka coursing through her veins and a raspy cigarette voice coming out of her mouth. Full Story
How to Dress for a Kid's Birthday Party
If you're Posh, that is. Brooklyn turned 9 yesterday but dad was stuck overseas on a football tour so mom handled the party planning duties and threw a bash for 30 kids at Pink Taco, complete of course with kiddie swag bags – blue sport sacks filled with toys. Of course Victoria dressed for the occasion – appropriately. Full Story
Best Red: Heidi Klum
Don't really care for her personality and not particularly down with the hype about her gorgessity but when it comes to wearing a dress and doing it justice… Heidi Klum is the sh*t. I almost missed a cue on live tv last night because of this dress. First of all, she's tall. Like legitimately tall. Full Story
