A Linslade singer and his fellow musicians still have a glimmer of hope in their bid to reach Saturday's final of ITV1's Britain's Got Talent.
Liam Wells, 20, and fellow members of The Collaborative Orchestra and Singers, finished fifth in the public vote of last night's semi-final heat which was won by 12-year-old singer Beau Dermott, and saw dancer Balance also make it through to compete for the £250,000 prize along with the chance to perform at the Royal Variety Performance.
Liam's 66-strong group failed to make the cut, but there remains hope because as well as the public choosing a wildcard act from the third-placed performers who didn't make it through across the five semi-final nights, the judges can also select any act voted out in the semi-finals stage.
And with The Collaborative Orchestra and Singers getting a standing ovation from the judges at the Wembley Park Fountain Studios after their rendition of The Beatles' Hey Jude, they could yet be saved.
The patriotic performance started with footage of the group travelling across London in an open top bus and the action then cut to the studio where the orchestra were already on the stage, with singers once again popping up amongst the audience, who were waving Union flags as the red, white and blue ticker tape poured down.
Judge Alesha Dixon purred: "That was epic. You have taken over the entire stadium. This act has the Royal Variety Performance all over it."
Amanda Holden added: "It was sensational. The atmosphere you created in the room, the energy that you bring. You are all so gifted. It would be amazing at The Royal Variety."
Simon Cowell said: "I have never seen or heard anything like this on the show."
While David Walliams said: "It is just so exciting. At one point I didn't think there would be anyone left there watching it and that everyone was in the choir!"
Liam was naturally disappointed not to have made it into the top three.
He said: "It happens. We are all happy that we got to the semi-final stage. We saw Beau's rehearsal and we knew she was going through, but I thought we might come second.
"We did everything we could. We put all our energy into it, but it was obviously not enough, although I think there's still a chance we could be the judges' wildcard.
"The performance was really British, it was all our idea. I think a lot of people loved us. It's now about trying to keep that energy going and we want to use this publicity. We want to do a rock event, it'd be really cool in a stadium."
Liam, a former pupil at Cedars Upper, plus Linslade Middle and Linslade Lower schools, moved to London from his family home in Vimy Road, to pursue his love of music back in November and now works at Ted Baker in Covent Garden. He performs with a friend at open mic nights and has been busking in Covent Garden.

Manufacturer: Wintec (View all products by Wintec)
Model: Wintec 500 A/P (View all All Purpose 500 reviews)
Category: All Purpose Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle in February 2005 via internet from Four Winds Saddle Tack Store at fourwindstack.com. The sale price for the Wintec 500 A/P with CAIR was $499 including a complete gullet kit and free ground shipping (U.S. only). It was shipped to me from the Colorado store to Boise, Idaho within the estimated 7-10 days. This saddle was selected over others for its low cost and because the fit could be adjusted to accommodate different horses.
Likes: The saddle lives up to its "easy care" reputation. After a few rides I wipe it down with a damp cloth and do nothing else to maintain it. It adjusts to fit my two horses comfortably. One of my horses has high withers (Appendix Quarterhorse) and the other has low withers (Arabian) and both are made comfortable with a simple gullet change. I have used it for gentle trail riding, English riding lessons and hours of personal practice.
Dislikes: This saddle is stiff. The synthetic material does not break in like a leather saddle so can be a bit uncomfortable. Also, the gullet is not as easy to change as advertised. Some hand and arm strength is needed to unscrew the gullet, pull the old gullet out and fit the new gullet in.
Quality: The costruction and quality appear to be very good. The synthetic material has not faded, curled or cracked and is without a scratch after falling off the saddle stand and fence several times. The hardware appears to be steel and it has not bent, broken or lost its shiny finish. After repeated gullet changes (some not so skillfully performed) the saddle has not lost its strength or broken down at the flex points.
Summary: This is really a nice saddle for the beginning rider or an intermediate rider to use for practice. It is also a cost- effective saddle for horse owners with more than one horse. I liked it well enough that I just bought a second, larger, Wintec 500 A/P saddle for my boyfriend.

Have A Humble Sewer Damage Repair Incident?
Though floodings are probably best known for causing substantial water damage to businesses and homes, they can furthermore bring about sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into buildings via drain pipes.
These types of backups not only produce damage that is hard and expensive to restore, but also create health hazards.
Almost all home-owner and business insurance coverage policies do not take care of sewer backup unless specific sewer backup insurance coverage is added to the insurance policy.
Sewer backup policy coverage is available for purchase from most insurance carriers for a small cost, usually less than $100 on a yearly insurance plan.
Many house owners and businessmen may perhaps not realise that they accountable for the maintenance tasks and repair service of their home or sewer lateral the pipe between the city sanitary sewer main, nearly always positioned below road, and the property.
The sewer lateral is owned and taken care of by the homeowner normally including any area that might extend into the road or common access. A fractured or weakened lateral or one loadeded with tree roots can possibly permit groundwater to weep into the structure, triggering the potential sewer backup issues.

Water Damage Humble Mitigation Pros On The Job.
Common Triggers Of Sewer Back-up:
Clogs As A Result Of Tree Roots: Trees and shrubberies searching for water could secure their way right into sewer line splits creating in depth damages. These could start out tiny, accessing a tiny rift within the pipe; however as the tree or bush continues to mature, so does the root. Tree roots can easily get into the service pipe at junctions and produce clogs. They can also progress a long distance, and roots from different varieties of trees behave in different ways.
In case you suppose that municipality trees are responsible for sewer line damages, your plumbing contractor can call the town and specimens of the roots can be made use of to help detect the trees and who is responsible for cleanup. In many instances a blockage is the result of a mix of municipality and individual trees. In this case costs are divided among the metro and residential property owner.
Sanitary Main: A stoppage can occur within a city hygienic main.
If the blockage is not identified in time, sewage from the main can back up into households and offices by flooring drains. Typically this occurs progressively, supplying the homeowner time to telephone a registered plumber to check the damage. When water is getting in your basement at a quick rate, get in touch with the town public works facility and describe the difficulty promptly in order that a city manager will check things out.
Water in Basement: Much basement flooding is not connected to the hygienic sewer equipment. Oftentimes, dirt settles adjacent to the structure and, unless fixed, generates rain progressing towards the structure and along the outside of the foundation wall. This is even more true in older structures where splits may have come about within the foundation or floor slab which in turn enable water to get into the basement. The cement floor and basement walls of those properties might have degraded to the point that they are no longer waterproof. Therefore, water can turn up in a basement which has never had a water issue. That regularly transpires whenever the soil is filled immediately after repeated or substantial rain storms. Drainage may be bettered by seeing to it that water recedes from the property. Property owners can as well protect against flooding by water-sealing the cellar.
House owners and company insurance do not cover flood damage: Only flood insurance will cover your losses in the event of a flood. Federal flood insurance policies can be purchased directly from an insurance agent or a company representative, and are available to communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Water Damage Restoration Humble
Different Ways to Prevent Backups in Your Lateral and in the City Main
Unapproved Plumbing Connections: Do not connect French drains, sump pumps and other flood control equipment to your hygienic sewer. It is against the law, and rubble and sand will most likely plug your line. Speak with a plumbing technician to set right the unlawful connections.
Change out Your Line With Brand-New Plastic pipe: A way to prevent tree roots from getting in your line is to change your pipes and valve with brand new plastic piping. In case you still have situations with tree roots flourishing in your lateral, you may have to have root systems cut periodically.
Put up a Backwater Deterrence Shutoff: A backwater shutoff is a attachment built within a sewer line, and at times within a drainpipe line, in the basement of your property or business to stop sewage system backflows. A suitably mounted and taken care of backwater shutoff permits sewerage to head out, though just not to come back in. Property owners are responsible for the installing and routine maintenance of backwater control devices. The charge to put in one depends upon the style of plumbing in your house or business and the challenge of installation. Consult an experienced plumber.
Take Care of Paper Products Appropriately: Paper towels, disposable (and fabric) diapers, and feminine products can surely bring about many concerns in the property owner's lateral and also in the town main given that they do not degrade rapidly, as toilet tissue does.
Dispose of Lard Suitably: Cooking oil ought to be put into a heat-resistant container and disposed of properly, when it cools down, not in the sink. Pouring grease down the drain with warm water can most likely give rise to considerable troubles. As the grease cools down, it is going to harden either in the sink, the owner's line, or in the main sewer causing the line to constrict and in the long run stop up.
Step By Step If You Encounter A Sewer Backup:
A sewer backup can produce health issues, destruction of your prized possessions, damage to your home or business, and can easily even create electrical malfunctions. Fast cleansing of the affected property can help prevent and minimize the inconvenience mold and additional destruction. In case of sewer back-up, at once prepare for the cleaning of your property. That ought to include:
- Rinsing out and sterilizing plumbing equipments.
- Wet-vacuuming or erasing spillage.
- Mopping floors and wiping walls with detergent and anti-fungal.
- Steam cleansing or getting rid of drenched rugs or curtains.
- Removing or repairing wrecked wallboard or wall surface treatment.
- Cleaning of ductwork.
How You Can File Your Insurance ClaimWith respect to insurance claim objectives, take before and after pics of the impaired areas and record any kind of property damages. Save all invoices associateded with repairs, clean-up or problems and call your Independent Insurance Rep as early as feasible.

- "I am your official representative for your hunt. You seek our legendary swamp ape?"
- ―Kashina Furt, to Parella
Kashina Furt was a Male Pa'lowick who lived on the planet Lowick, the homeworld of his species. At some point prior to 19 ABY, the Hutt Parella Jiramma Baco traveled to Lowick on an expedition to hunt the Gorach, a legendary being that he believed to live on the world, and he hired Furt to act as his guide. As the hunt commenced, Parella sent out some droid drones to carpet-bomb the jungle region in which he suspected that the Gorach lived, which forced the creature to reveal itself. Furt whimpered at the sight of the beast and the pair set off in pursuit of the creature, although Furt struggled to keep up with the Hutt's pace. The hunters eventually located the Gorach's lair and Parella tossed Furt inside, to test whether the hideaway was safe to enter, which caused him to pass out. Parella continued the hunt without him, and soon afterward he slew the Gorach. When Furt came to, he found the Gorach's home to be filled with high-quality works of art and he realized that the being had been a skilled artist. He made his way back to Parella's ship and told him of his discovery, and he was distressed after he informed him that he had killed the artist.

We do not serve liquor and we are not a restaurant. Proud of it, too.
Our Story
With a mission to be a part of and drive their local economy, Andrew found no better location to launch their craft brewery than in the blossoming "Stadium District" entertainment neighborhood at 990 Tony Canadeo Run near Lambeau Field. Utilizing a part of a building built in the 1960's that stands as the last manufacturing zoned property on Lombardi Avenue, Badger State partnered with local contractors to build a small, buzzing brewhouse and offices. Following a successful first year of operation, the brewery was expanded in mid-2014 and again in 2016. The facilities now include a Tap Room, Beer Garden, and 10,000 square feet of brewing space that houses a 15-barrel brewing system as well as event hall capable of hosting up to 500 visitors.
Flashback to 2012 where the story of Badger State Brewing began… Almost ten years prior to the grand opening, our future Head Brewer and Co-Founder Sam began homebrewing beer in Green Bay, Wis. as a way to enjoy his time outside of work, which caught the attention of his cousin and eventual co-founder Mike. Increasingly intrigued by the brewing process and chemistry involved, Mike steadily watched and began helping Sam brew on weekends.
As Mike began to share his interest in homebrewing with friends, Founder Andrew bought Mike a brewing kit as a Christmas present six months later – a small act of friendship, which later would later bring the three together to take a leap of faith into the craft beer industry. Andrew called Michael and asked if he could teach him more about brewing, and Michael introduced Andrew to Sam during an hot summer afternoon of brewing.
By 2012, with a makeshift, all-grain gravity run system, the three brewed every weekend perfecting their recipes and expanding their love of the craft beer culture. Recognizing the growing pace of the craft beer industry and opportunity at hand, Andrew proposed taking their dedicated hobby and talents to professional careers and compiled a business plan followed by all necessary permits and licenses. Their passion for craft beer and love of the community motivated the opening of Badger State Brewery in 2013, helping lead a new generation of craft beer industry and expansion in the Greater Green Bay area and the State of Wisconsin. Andrew and Sam now run the day to day operations of the brewery along with their talented staff. Fortunately for the gang, Mike now works in Green Bay as an Optometrist an is able to continue to spend free time working at the brewery as well.
Our desire to continuously innovate and brew excellent craft beers is best summed up by our fabled hometown coach: "We will chase perfection, and we will chase it relentlessly, knowing all the while we can never attain it. But along the way, we shall catch excellence."
Our Name
Badger State Brewing Co. is founded on what makes Wisconsin a remarkable place to live – hard work, community and fun. Whether you were born and raised here or new to the area, Badger State Brewing invites you to be a part of a state rich in culture, tradition and craft beer. We look forward to meeting you in the tap room or during one of the numerous sampling events we pour our beers at throughout the year!

Vogue International editor Suzy Menkes described lighting designer Thierry Dreyfus as "the man who is making the City of Light live up to its name. The designer is the master of the soft glow, bright beams and laser lines. Dreyfus may be an artist with light, but he is too modest to give himself that title.
Dreyfus' impressive runway CV includes lighting show for Dior Homme, Helmut Lang , Calvin Klein , Sonia Rykiel, Chloé, Marni and Jil Sander to Yves Saint Laurent 's retrospective "Haute couture" show. He has also worked consistently with Ann Demeulemeester since 1989.
Dreyfus' commissions are not limited to shows however. In 2005 he was tasked with lighting the reopening of the Grand Palais in Paris. To do so he believed he had to "make people dream." In 2006 made lights of fire in the fountains of the Château de Versailles, as well as creating an 80m high ladder for the Bibliothèque Nationale de France for La Nuit Blanche. He was commissioned by Starwood to imagine specific and contextual light installations for the façades of Le Méridien in Shanghai and San Francisco.
At present he is compiling images for a planned published portfolio entitled "photography of light."

This year we asked students to send us an original, unpublished, 800-word essay detailing what they think is the most important issue facing their generation. We received hundreds of submissions from high school and college students in forty-one states. We chose one college and one high school winner and ten finalists total. The winners are Bryce Wilson Stucki of Virginia Tech University and Hannah Moon of Brooklyn College Academy in Brooklyn, New York. The winners receive a cash award of $1,000 and the finalists, $200 each. All receive Nation subscriptions. —The Editors
A question not too many Americans are forced to ask themselves: Where are the people that look like me? Imagine with me for a moment you're just entering the ninth grade excited to see all your friends from last year, but as you walk into your high school you encounter a feeling completely foreign to you. You are the only one in your entire school who remotely looks like you. You are the only black face in an ocean of white faces, and every glance at you is an attempt to ignore your existence. No one even bothers to wave. Gone are the bonds with the friends you once had, gone are your lunch buddies, the table where everyone is like you, and where you are understood.
This is my reality, a reality I'd grow to know well throughout my high school years as I watched black face after black face picked off one by one each year like a cancerous tumor, leaving only ragtag humiliatingly low numbers of survivors. And every year, as the solitary number seemed to inch closer and closer, I would ask myself, "What is happening? Where are all the black kids going? Why doesn't anyone seem to care?" A black face in my high school would become as foreign as a repressed memory that everyone just seemed to forget existed.
I'd discover that this mysterious epidemic extended beyond the hallways and the lockers of my high school to infect schools across the city and the nation. In my city predominately black schools have the lowest graduation rates in the state of New York. At city schools, where the majority of students are black, only approximately 45.9 percent graduate, while predominately white schools in the suburbs have a graduation rate of 94 percent. Nationally, every twenty-six seconds a student drops out of school. This statistic for black Americans is a ticking time bomb for a race in which less than half of our students graduate.
Political and cultural critics argue that the devastatingly high dropout rate of African-Americans is a direct consequence of the unfortunate and often "typical" circumstances affecting members of the African Diaspora, the age old tale of teenage pregnancies, single-parent households and rundown urban environments. By making such a one-sided assumption America places the blame firmly on the shoulders of African-Americans themselves.
I believe the high dropout rates of black Americans are a consequence of a conservative white America's hunger for power; it is a result of a premeditated cycle of oppression that Americans pretend to ignore. A cycle created with laws forbidding black slaves to gain an education, transforming into further black disenfranchisement after the Reconstruction, as black Americans moved to urban centers and were confined to slums, a result of discrimination and unequal pay leading to white flight from cities, and the reality for so many of my generation, (black, poor white and brown) today.
No one cares about us. Our cities are making budget cuts to our already substandard education; we do not have teachers dedicated to both understanding and meeting our needs, nor do we have adequate supplies. And no one has cared to make our education as much of a priority as it for white Americans. We are in the pothole that we see today as a result of centuries of constraint of the advancement of our status. It is a cycle that has enslaved us. An uneducated group cannot advance economically or socially because it cannot afford to break out of that which confines them to a slum. They do not have the means to leave.
I have been a witness to America's failure within its high school educational system. I witnessed educators unwilling to make an effort to help minority students achieve academic success. And as a result of this I have watched black students become disempowered by circumstance and fall victim to a devastating statistic.
And as I visited college campuses I found no greater hope. I am still in search of more who look like me, especially black males. I realize that I have, and so many other ethnic minorities, have become a commodity to so colleges and universities because of our color and rarity. What does this rarity mean? We as a nation have created a generation of uneducated minorities, who cannot be leaders, politicians or businessmen and cannot better their communities because the United States has for centuries used education as a weapon to keep individuals who look like me down. And if nothing continues to be done, the epidemic will demolish our communities.
If a black kid falls out of school in the ghetto and no one is around to hear him, does he make a sound?
