Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Collectible Guide: Chapters 1 – 4
Where to Find all Outfits, Guardian Collectibles, Items, and Archives in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy 2021.
Welcome to our Guardians of the Galaxy Collectible Guide, created to accompany our Guardians of the Galaxy Trophy Guide.
The collectibles in Guardians of the Galaxy are quite easily missable (at the time of writing) because using Chapter Select actually resets your compendium collectibles to whatever they were at the start of that chapter, so in order to earn the Platinum, you will need to collect all required compendium collectibles in a single run.
Note that this doesn't affect Outfits or Guardian Collectibles, but you might as well collect them while you're at it. Especially since the Guardian Collectibles act as Compendium Items when interacted with on the ship.
To help ease the pain of this, our Collectible Guide is written in a chronological walkthrough-like format to help ensure you collect everything you need along the way. In this guide, I will help you locate:
All 45 Outfits
All 15 Guardian Collectibles
All 32 Items
All 34 Archives
Note that the Items and Archives are part of the compendium, which you only need to collect 65% of (100% is impossible anyway, due to some collectibles and choices preventing you from collecting others). The compendium also consists of Characters, Factions, Creatures, and Places, all of which will unlock naturally throughout the story and require no additional effort on your part.
Saving at the start of every chapter is advisable. This way if you miss a collectible, you can replay the chapter immediately and try again. Note that as you don't need every Guardian Collectible, Item or Archive, you can miss a few, but if you miss too many you'll struggle to earn the platinum in just one run. You will also definitely need every Outfit.
Due to the fact that some collectibles become unavailable depending on various choices and/or actions, I have tried to make clear where and when this is the case to aid you in a successful playthrough.
Please note that once you have collected every Outfit in our Collectible Guide, you will still need to acquire and equip the following Outfits (they unlock naturally):
Unlocks in…
Gold-Lord Star-Lord Outfit Chapter 14
Golden Guardians Drax Outfit Chapter 14
Golden Guardians Gamora Outfit Chapter 14
Golden Guardians Groot Outfit Chapter 14
Golden Guardians Rocket Outfit Chapter 14
Sun-Lord Star-Lord Outfit Chapter 16 – For finishing the game (Also a Digital Deluxe Item)
City-Lord Star-Lord Outfit Chapter 16 – For finishing the game (Also a Digital Deluxe Item)
Social-Lord Star-Lord Outfit Chapter 16 – For finishing the game (Also a Pre-Order Item)
Sleek-Lord Star-Lord Outfit Chapter 16 – For finishing the game
Space-Lord Star-Lord Outfit Chapter 16 – For finishing the game
As some of them unlock at the end of the game, you will need to start a New Game Plus save and then go through your outfits equipping all the newly-acquired ones.
When you leave Peter's room at the start of Chapter 1, turn right and enter Rocket's room. On the ground to your right, you will see the Team Costumes Archive.
Continue the story until you reach the "Quarantine Zone". As soon as you arrive there, look for the Nano-Resin Incident Report Archive on the yellow crate on the ledge to your left.
A short while later, after sliding down a metal sheet, you'll come to a fork in the road. Rocket will say "Pretty sure that way's a dead-end". Go right, towards this supposed "dead-end". Start going that way and then take a hard right on the blue metal plating.
Walk along it to the edge and look down to your left, where you'll see an opening.
Enter the opening and look for the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Rocket Outfit on the ground inside.
Return to the fork in the path and go left this time. You'll need to crouch through a half-opened door. Once through, immediately look to your left and pick up the Pride and Fall Archive at the end of the room.
Continue until Rocket makes a bet with Starlord. There will be a counter at the top of the screen, indicating which of you has destroyed the most parasite nests.
Head inside the ship and continue until there's a short obstacle you need to actively vault over. On the ground to the right of it, you'll see the QZ Disposal Archive. Collect it.
Continue until you have involuntarily dropped down into a new area of the ship, and crouch under the containers as you make your way through.
Look for some "Brittle Material" in the corner of the room and shoot it to reveal a Ravager Comm Bracelet Guardian Collectible under it.
After your first big conflict against some green balls, climb up to the floor above, where there is some Brittle Material blocking the way. Opposite the Brittle Material, on the ground, is the Failed to Send Message Archive.
Proceed a bit further into the eye of a large robot and the bet between Rocket and Starlord will intensify. This large room is filled with targets to help you increase your score over Rocket's. You should focus on beating Rocket's score as much as you can for now as there's a trophy for beating him.
Once you're happy with your score, look for a cage on the top floor of the room and go inside it to find the Unthinkable Archive.
You will now want to proceed through the level for quite a while until after a cutscene where Groot and Rocket are reunited. If you beat Rocket's score, you should unlock the trophy here.
After that cutscene, go around the corner to your right and crouch under a gap in the pink goop.
There's a purple container inside, containing the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Groot Costume.
Proceed through the level until after you've been introduced to weapon upgrade workbenches.
Not long after that, you'll drop (again, involuntarily) into an area where a new enemy type is introduced.
After you have defeated them, jump up onto the ledge above and then immediately turn around to see some Brittle Material. Shoot it with your newly acquired rapid cooldown ability and you will find the Spinal Control Unit Guardian Collectible underneath.
Proceed onwards until you're reunited with Drax and Gamora. You will use their abilities to climb up to a new room where the dialogue leans heavily on speculation of what their upcoming enemy is going to look like.
In the center of the room, there are some big steel pipes. Approach them and collect the A Miracle! Archive on the metal frames next to them.
You should note that there's a costume that you may see while you're here, submerged underwater. Rest assured that this cannot be collected in this Chapter, but we will come back for it in Chapter 7.
Near the start of Chapter 2, you'll be following a character called Nikki. She'll eventually give you a choice to either Encourage her, or Take Control. Choose whichever you like, but immediately after doing so, stop following her.
Ahead of you, at the corner where Nikki turns right, you'll see some yellow pipes with a small gap under them.
Crouch underneath to enter a secret room with the Nova Lord Starlord Outfit inside.
Continue the story and Nikki will eventually take you to her secret hideout. Inside, look for some purple monitors behind some metal crates.
Behind those crates, you will find the Broken Translation Device Guardian Collectible.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT MISS. During the Elevator Ride with Ko-Rel and Nikki, side with Nikki at every opportunity. If you fail to do so, she will not trust you enough to give you the Nikki's Personal Device Item, and you won't be able to access several collectibles in Chapter 7.
The correct dialogue choices are:
Stick Up For Nikki
Re-Activate Elevator
Try to help Nikki
Take the blame
If you do everything correctly here, you'll get the item at the end of the dialogue.
Note: During this mission, you'll need to choose whether to sell Groot or Rocket, which will change Chapter 4 quite extensively. I recommend that you choose to sell Groot, this will get you a lot more money, which is very helpful for Chapter 6.
Chapter 3 starts on your Spaceship. Go into Rocket's room again to find the Spinal Control Unit Item. This will only appear if you picked it up as a Guardian Collectible in Chapter 1.
When you interact with it, Rocket will talk to you about it (If he's finished arguing with Drax). You need to talk through all possible dialogue to add it to the compendium.
Now, go into Star-Lord's room and look for the Ravager Comm Bracelet Item by the mirror. Pick it up and exhaust all dialogue with Gamora when you put it back down. This will only appear if you picked it up as a Guardian Collectible in Chapter 1.
Next, go into the hangar (downstairs) and look for the Broken Translator Device next to a flower pot on a storage crate. Pick it up and exhaust all dialogue with Groot/Rocket when you put it back down. This will only appear if you picked it up as a Guardian Collectible in Chapter 2.
Proceed through the level as normal until you've told Rocket to use a "Wing Control" console to open the path forward. At the top of the red ramp, turn left and you'll see a crashed spaceship.
On the ground next to it, you'll see the Collateral Damage Archive.
Return to where the other guardians are, but do not go where you're supposed to. Instead, go right down the path next to Rocket…
…and look for an opening at the end of the path which leads into a cave.
It may seem like there's nothing in here, but look for some destructible goo (yellow in visor-view) and shoot it out of the way to enter a new area with more Jellies.
Defeat them and then look for some Brittle Material that you can shoot. Enter the opening behind the Brittle Material and look for the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Gamora Outfit on a ledge nearby.
Continue through the level as normal and kill your first Slakebeast (a big blue octopus-faced quadruped).
After that, use Gamora to help you up a wall where you can shoot down a big reactor unit for Drax to carry.
Instruct Drax to place the pillar against the wall opposite the spaceship wing.
Use the pillar to reach the ledge, and then jump to the platform below you to pick up the Chitauri Sear-Cuffs Guardian Collectible on there.
Return to the guardians and then make Drax put the pillar where it's supposed to go. Then, instruct Gamora to cut the cables holding the spaceship up, causing the wing to drop down and form a ramp.
Walk up the wing and then look for the Off the Grid Archive to the left.
Proceed through the level until you unlock the Ice element for Star-Lord's blasters. You'll initially use this ability to freeze two platforms in place and then you'll ask Gamora to cut away some obstructive cables.
Pass through the opening where the cables were, and then immediately look on the ground to the left. There, you'll see the Stupid Job Archive.
After a big conflict with two Slakebeasts, command Groot to build a bridge so that you can get over to the Waterfalls.
Cross his bridge and then go left at the end, where you'll see some Brittle Material.
Break through it and then use your Ice Blasters to freeze the water geyser.
Jump up the ledges and collect the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse Groot Costume.
Chapter four is a bit of a weird one. The Chapter changes depending on whether you chose to sell Groot or Rocket during Chapter 3. You can make whichever choice you want, but this will change the layout of Chapter 4. All required collectibles can still be obtained, but their locations are different, which means I've prepared two guides for you; the Groot Sold path and the Rocket Sold path.
Proceed through the level until you have sneaked past some guards to enter Lady Hellbender's Throne Room. Inside, immediately go right to collect the Don't Do It Archive on a ledge quite far down this path.
Continue following this path until you're on the left side of the same room, you can find a purple container with the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Drax Outfit inside.
Continue onwards and you'll take an elevator down from the Throne Room into a big room full of sleeping guards. Don't follow the other guardians here.
Instead, very carefully clamber over bar-like the wooden table on your right and then avoid knocking over bottles or touching any guards as you shimmy between a sleeping guard and a red container.
Crouch under the containers at the back of here into a small area containing the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse Rocket Outfit.
Continue the correct way through the room of sleeping guards and sneak into the next area. Inside, there are a few prison cells in different rooms. Drax will split off to explore a room on your left, follow him inside.
To the right of this room's entrance, behind a red and black crate, you'll find the Assassin's Ring Guardian Collectible on the ground.
Return to the previous room and now head to the next room along in the room, where Groot is locked up. On some haystacks to your right, you'll find the Care of Our Charges Archive.
Near the start of the chapter, you'll find yourself negotiating with Lady Hellbender. Afterward, you'll slide down to an area with an angry drone.
Destroy the structure on your left with your blasters and then jump over to the platform behind it and vault the low wall on the right.
Immediately afterward, turn right and look for the Drones Archive on a nearby crate.
After the last collectible, continue through the narrow gap and then stop. Don't enter the tunnel on your left with the other guardians.
Instead, walk past the tunnel entrance and look for some platforms you can jump across.
At the end of these platforms, you will find the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) Drax Outfit.
Continue until you end up in the sewers with the rest of the Guardians and head through until the path forks.
Take the left path, where you'll find the Five Horsemen of the Apocalypse Rocket Outfit.
Continue following the story until you're led into a vault. At the center of the vault, there's a big skull. Go behind the skull to the opposite end of the vault and the Unknown Ghilaron Species Archive can be collected from the arm of a weird-looking sofa.
To the right of the last collectible in the same vault, at the other side of the counter, you'll find the Assassin's Ring Guardian Collectible.

Amid die-hard resistance from within his own party, President Clinton asked Wednesday for broadened authority to make international trade deals, inflaming a dispute that has come to reflect the deepest fears of working Americans.
"This is about more than economics . . . " Clinton declared in a White House ceremony. "It's about whether other countries will continue to look to the United States to lead to a future of peace and freedom and prosperity. About whether the world will be growing together instead of coming apart."
Indeed, Clinton had to delay plans to unveil a detailed legislative proposal because of the divisive political debate. Under the authority Clinton seeks, known as "fast track," Congress would be able to say yes or no to trade deals but it could not alter them.
Critics, who argue that free trade can create downward pressure on the wages of working Americans, want future treaties to guarantee that U.S. trading partners meet labor and environmental standards. The White House, they maintain, has been too sanguine about the downside of the global economy and its effects on workers at the bottom of the income ladder.
In particular, they say, the North American Free Trade Agreement has hurt American workers by raising the specter that their employers may move to Mexico.
"As much as anything, the experience with NAFTA is energizing people" to resist the White House plan, said Thea Lee, assistant director for public policy at the AFL-CIO.
Clinton attempted to answer his opponents Wednesday, describing the push for broader trade authority as essential to future increases in America's standard of living through increased commerce overseas and pointing out that previous presidents enjoyed such power, which expired in 1993.
"We have to make sure that all Americans can reap the fruits of the economic growth we have enjoyed as a nation," Clinton said. "But we cannot do that by stepping off the path of economic growth."
Advocates of trade agreements say that export-based jobs, which are fostered by trade deals, typically pay above average and that such gains more than offset the disruptions faced by some workers, at least over time. Studies of NAFTA's effect on job displacement have yielded conflicting conclusions, although analysts widely agree that low-skill, low-wage workers are increasingly vulnerable to technological change at home and competition from abroad.
Clinton acknowledged that trade could have negative effects "on some communities or businesses or workers" in the short run but he maintained that the effects would be "overwhelmingly positive" for the vast majority. Changes in the economy "are going to occur anyway," making efforts to improve access to education all the more important, Clinton said.
Speaking directly to critics, he maintained that "our commitment to workers' rights and environmental protections are and long have been reflections of our fundamental values."
At the East Room ceremony, Clinton was joined by a high-tech executive from Orange County and a corn farmer from Iowa. Both described exports as crucial to their fortunes.
Susan Corrales-Diaz, chief executive of Systems Integrated in Orange County, said that her firm now does a quarter of its business internationally and that foreign sales have been critical to its success after cutbacks in the military.
"Simply said, if the U.S. doesn't set the rules for trade, they will be set for us," she declared in the East Room ceremony. After she finished, an impressed Clinton commented: "If all else fails, you can give speaking lessons."
In fact, the politics of trade have become increasingly roiled. The White House finds itself caught between the demands of key Republicans, who stoutly resist imposing tough labor and environmental requirements in trade negotiations, and many other members of both parties, who desire precisely that.
House Minority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.), who is leading his party's opposition to the fast-track proposal, seized on Clinton's delay as a sign that the administration is prepared to accede to the Democrats' demands and hinted that he is willing to negotiate a compromise.
"The delay in sending up a detailed bill is hopefully a sign that a majority of Democrats and their concerns are being heard," he told a press conference. "Democrats want to forge a policy that unites, not divides us," he said.
Key Republicans, meanwhile, sought to step up pressure on the administration to send a detailed proposal to Congress quickly, hinting that there might not be enough time for both houses to pass the legislation if the president does not move quickly.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Bill Archer (R-Texas) warned that "every day's delay complicates the prospects for passing fast-track legislation."
Administration officials want to push the bill through the House before the president's trip to Latin America in October. If the Senate does not complete action on the bill before Congress adjourns, the debate will spill over into 1998, which is a congressional election year. Republicans are warning that some GOP supporters of fast-track legislation may stray in the face of a campaign.
Times staff writers Donald W. Nauss in Detroit and Art Pine in Washington contributed to this story.

Gilbert Arenas suggests Lakers use big lineup 'that would kill'
Cameron Fields
The Los Angeles Lakers have a good deal of size, with players such as LeBron James, Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Davis all being listed at 6-foot-8 or taller.
Former NBA guard Gilbert Arenas recently suggested the Lakers use their size to their advantage this season. Arenas was on the Knuckleheads podcast with former NBA players Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson, and he said a lineup of James, Kuzma, Davis, Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee "would kill."
"LeBron at the point, Kuzma at the two," Arenas said. "Anthony Davis at the three. You can go JaVale and Dwight. In hindsight you'd be like, 'Oh, they'd get killed.'"
Arenas added that the Lakers wouldn't run into matchup problems anywhere, particularly on defense. He mentioned how with the lineup's size, other teams would struggle trying to find shots.
"On defense you got all 6'10 (sic) and above just locking down," Arenas said. "Play like a zone type and just say 'Oh, go to the basket.' You got five freak athletes jumping trying to block that shot."
Arenas picks the Lakers to win the championship and would put out a lineup "that would kill" consisting of James, Kuzma, Davis, McGee, and Howard: pic.twitter.com/Hu6BH7R4ho
— TheLakersReview (@TheLakersReview) October 11, 2019
As for offense, Arenas said teams wouldn't be able to defend the lineup well because of the potential for matchup problems, particularly with James playing point guard. Standing at 6-foot-8, James, with his ability to play point guard, has posed matchup issues for opponents through his whole career — that's nothing new.
But with the rest of the lineup, the lane and the floor would be shrunk. Kuzma and James are the best shooters of the bunch, and even both of them haven't shot at least 35% from three for their careers.
McGee and Howard both thrive down low, particularly in the dunker's spot. It would be difficult to have two rim runners dominate in that offense, especially considering there wouldn't be that much space present to begin with.
Teams would essentially just have to stay home and hope that James or Davis doesn't dominate in the paint too much.
James and Davis would be the only players who could truly present problems for an opposing defense in this lineup. And Davis playing at the small forward wouldn't be as effective because he succeeds as a hybrid power forward who can pull defenders out, but also play well inside.
In theory, Arenas' suggested lineup for the Lakers is interesting to think about defensively. The Lakers would have an abundance of length on defense.
But on offense, there wouldn't be enough space for each player to do what they do best.
Cedi Osman: 'I never felt like LeBron was a tough teammate'
Anthony Davis on Dwight Howard: 'He wants to help this team win'
Frank Vogel is the latest to praise Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee
LeBron James: Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee 'have been very good, if not great' in camp
Lakers-Pelicans recap: LeBron James shows MVP form again in 5th straight win
Unlike many of their recent games, the Los Angeles Lakers actually fell behind early on in Friday night's ESPN-televised affair against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans, who were entering Friday's game in the opposite way the Lakers did, losing four straight games. But after leading by as many as 15 in the second quarter, the Lakers continued the trend for both teams, eventually demolishing the Pelicans 115-92. With Lakers defense held the Pelicans to 92 points, it was the fifth time this season the Lakers have held a team to fewer than 100 points this season as...

VISIT TO BELFAST CITADEL - 16TH-18TH NOVEMBER 2018
Friday Evening and Saturday Morning
An advance party of 5 bandsmen, Harry Browning, Matthew 'Moley' Frost, John Sharman, David Taylor and Keith Watts left Birmingham airport on Friday afternoon. After the short and uneventful flight, we were met at Belfast International Airport and taken to Belfast Citadel. Our mission was to work with the renowned 'Kid's Alive' Band in preparation for their joint performance with BCB in Saturday's concert.
The evening consisted of some small group work as well as full band rehearsal on the piece for the concert, Andrew Mackereth's 'Young Crusaders'.
There were upwards of 50 youngsters present, though we are told that there are about 85 'on the books'. The Kid's Alive Band' is testament to the hard work and foresight of Bandmaster John Moore and his small but dedicated group of helpers in trying to give some purpose and musical training to the large number of young people who live in the vicinity of the hall.
After a good night's sleep, we were back at 10 am on the Saturday. Unfortunately, due to an important national education examination, there were fewer children present, but this gave us the opportunity to do some small group work and some individual tuition with those that were there.
When the rest of the band arrived mid-morning they were amazed to hear the cacophonous sounds, coming from various parts of the hall.
The main challenge facing John and his team is the wide range of abilities to be catered for, from raw beginners to some very competent players. But what an opportunity they have to introduce these youngsters to the Army, to faith, as well as to develop their musical talents.
As we went into lunch, the first of many excellent meals which you will no doubt be hearing about later, I'm sure that I can speak for my four colleagues that we counted it a real privilege to be involved in this venture.
John Sharman
Saturday afternoon and evening
With a buzz of excitement and the clock ticking towards 2.30pm, the band emerged from the Belfast Citadel corps building to form up, behind the police escort, in preparation for the march of witness through Belfast City Centre to Belfast City Hall.
Once at Belfast City Hall, the band made its way through the Christmas Market crowds to the Garden of Remembrance and The Cenotaph in front of the City Hall where a large crowd soon gathered to hear the band play. The band then moved inside through the main entrance into the grand hall, with its centerpiece being a huge Christmas Tree, and up the central staircase to the first floor Rotunda under the magnificent City Hall Dome where they played a couple of hymn tunes before marching back to Belfast Citadel.
After enjoying a fantastic Chinese buffet prepared by a number of the local Chinese community who attend the corps, the band then moved to Belfast Methodist College, the venue for both that evenings' festival and also Sunday worship.
The Saturday evening festival commenced with Peter Graham's 'Intrada, Bless the Lord' cleverly combining the traditional 'Stand up and Bless the Lord' with the contemporary 'Bless the Lord, O My Soul' before moving straight into Philip Littlemore's arrangement of Morten Lauridsen's 'O Magnum Mysterium' bringing an early taste of Christmas to the evening. Two of the bands soloists were featured in the first half of the programme. Deputy Bandmaster Mark Sharman played the trombone solo 'You can't stop God' by Kevin Larson and Neil Blessett followed with the lovely horn solo 'King ofKings' written for him by Gavin Lamplough.
Other pieces featured in the first half were Steven Ponsford's 'Servants of God' and Paul Sharman's 'Undefeated' before the band finished with Leslie Condon's much loved 'The Present Age'. The composition portrays a Christian's struggle to stay on the right path through the challenges of modern life and features the much-loved song, "I'll Follow Thee", and later on in the piece with a beautiful
arrangement of "It Is Well with My Soul".
In the second half, the band's euphonium soloist David Taylor played 'Varied mood' written by Ray Woodfield. Other items from the band included 'La Fiesta', & '007 Light'. The band also joined forces with Belfast Citadel's magnificent Kids Alive Band to play Andrew Mackereth's 'Young Crusaders'. In an evening of musical highlights, special mention must also be made of the contribution from The Northern Ireland 1990's Youth Chorus, recently reunited for a 20 year anniversary, who blessed the audience with their three items.
After Major Adrian Allman's message, the band played Roger Trigg's 'Faithful' written recently on the occasion of the band's 125th anniversary.
The evening ended with the band playing Eric Leidzen's March 'On the King's Highway'.
Paul Meredith
Today's meetings were again held in the Methody Whitla Hall in Queen's University. BCB started with William Himes 'All that I am'. A very emotive piece of music for both player and listener. It was great to hear from the home corps' Kids Alive Band again. Full of youthful exuberance and energy, it was a delight to see so many youngsters giving their all in such a joyful and fulsome manner. Belfast Temple Songsters joined with the local brigade for a massed item and good to see two local corps happy to work together in such a meaningful way.
Major Adrian spoke very touchingly on the sacrifices that we all have to make in our service for the Lord. Sometimes very difficult sacrifices, sometimes very personal ones, but necessary for our continued and successful relationship with our Lord in all that we do.
This was followed by a Cornet and Euphonium duet 'I'll not turn back' played very sensitively by Matthew Frost and Craig Hughes. The meeting came to a conclusion with a spirit of togetherness amongst the whole of the congregation.
The band was then treated to a fantastic Carvery lunch at a local hotel.
Martyn Pearce
The Sunday afternoon concert began with Andrew Blyth's lively march 'Faith on Track' before featuring 3 pieces that were new items to more recent BCB programmes. First, Oliver Ridley (Soprano Cornet) and Andrew Dickinson (Tenor Horn) performed the beautiful duet 'Pie 'Jesu' from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Requiem'. This was followed by the exciting Cornet Trio 'The Heralds', written by Phil Catelinet and ably performed by Nicola Redhead, Matthew Frost and Harry Browning. The final new item for the afternoon was the Bill Gordon arrangement of 'Extracts from the Finale Symphony No. 4' by Tchaikovsky. This exhilarating piece features a number of challenges for a Brass Band but the performance was well-received by the audience in attendance and a video of the performance can be found below.
The next 3 pieces were much lighter, taking influences from a variety of dance styles. 'Telling it' written by Sam Creamer is a salsa-style arrangement of the tune 'I want to tell you what the Lord has done' while 'Where I love to be' is a piece written in the style of a Tango by Kevin Larsson. The final piece in this section was another composition by Sam Creamer and was a Dixie-style piece entitled 'Anytime'.
As our time in Belfast came to a close, we ended with a more reflective section. Andrew Mackereth's beautiful arrangement 'Beside the Sea of Galilee led into some final thoughts brought by our Commanding Officer Major Adrian Allman. To end our time in Belfast, Eric Ball's 'Triumph of Peace' was performed. This well-known piece has been a mainstay of BCB programmes for many years, under the leadership of a number of bandmasters and includes the hymn 'Peace in our time, O Lord', and in world facing much uncertainty was a perfect way to end what had been a great weekend where the band had been so graciously received by their hosts.

Project "Recycle in New Lights" was an idea of young people interested in ecology and sustainable development, who willing to connect different points of view and to discus topics of recycling, responsibility and innovation in approach to ecological challenges, bringing together different types of identification and understanding of the problem trough different countries. Aiming to incorporate European awareness on cultural differences and similarity, social inclusion of youth with fewer opportunities, trough discussion and workshops that have the ecology and sustainable growth as the main topic.
The whole exchange was based on the idea of discussing the theme of recycling and environmental preservation by using improperly discarded materials and turning them something useful in this case into lighting items such as lamps and chandeliers.
Venue was Bar (coast Montenegro) lasting for 9 working days, where 30 youngsters and 6 youth leaders came from EU and Balkan countries + Montenegro, met through workshops, creative presentation and discussions, aiming to reach understanding, develop solidarity, promote tolerance and see cultural diversity trough intercultural dialogue.

Our gracious hosts Bill Destler and Rebecca Johnson will be retiring from RIT next June, so this is your last chance to enjoy their hospitality at RIT's Liberty Hill, 2201 Lehigh Station Road, between Pinnacle Road and Pittsford-Henrietta Town Line Road. Food, conversation, swimming, and music are on the schedule.
The deadline is coming up this Sunday, June 12, to submit applications to the 2016 New Voices Emerging Artists Showcase. Designed to introduce Golden Link audiences to emerging local and regional acoustic folk musicians, New Voices is a juried competition, sponsored by Bernunzio Uptown Music.
Winners will be invited to perform a 20-minute set on the main stage at Golden Link's 45th Turtle Hill Folk Festival, during the day on Saturday, September 10, 2016, from 4–5:30 pm. Applicants may be solo artists or groups.
Brooks Williams is really the proverbial triple threat: a fiery guitarist, a smooth-as-silk vocalist, and a stunning songwriter. He has been ranked in the Top 100 Acoustic Guitarists, and was nominated best male vocalist by the UK folk roots website Spiral Earth in 2014. He plays a Golden Link concert as part of his spring U.S. tour on Saturday, April 9 at 7:30 pm at the Rochester Christian Reformed Church in Penfield.
Originally from Statesboro, Georgia, Brooks spent many years in New England (which is where I first saw him), before moving to England. His music is hard to categorize. It's primarily blues and Americana, but there's a bit of jazz and rockabilly thrown in for good measure. And he writes amazing songs, so he can also be considered a singer-songwriter. As his press bio says, imagine Doc Watson, Willie Nelson, Lonnie Johnson, and Blind Boy Fuller sitting in a bar having a jam, and you're almost there.
A new collaboration between Golden Link Folk Singing Society and Bernunzio Uptown Music in Rochester's East End will bring three winners of Golden Link's 2015 New Voices Emerging Artists Showcase to Bernunzio's as part of the new "New Voices" concert series.
Kicking things off on Saturday, March 26 at 8 pm will be the songwriting brothers Matt and Nathan Corrigan of Tough Old Bird. They play a potent blend of folk and blues that reflects the rural landscape they come from – a place where the last train just pulled out and the carnival is always on its way to the next town.
Golden Link's upcoming March Music Madness concert (Saturday, March 12, 7:30 pm, Rochester Christian Reformed Church, Penfield) is like a mini-festival to help beat the midwinter blues. It's designed to showcase great local performers and give folks a chance to socialize and make music together.
The evening features the beautiful sounds and irresistible grooves of acoustic "BluesGrass" quartet The Crawdiddies (pictured), as well as the American folk trio The Brothers Blue, who were named audience favorite at Golden Link's "New Voices" Emerging Artists Showcase in September 2015.
To add to the "madness," there will be a sing-around/jam session (open to all ages) hosted by Dean Santos starting at 5 pm, followed by a chili supper from 6–7 pm. Jamming will continue through the supper hour. Bring your friends, family, voices, and instruments and join in the fun!
Named for a Northeast woodland flower, the New England acoustic trio Low Lily has put down roots in their exploration of different branches of American folk music, from Celtic and bluegrass to Appalachian, popular music, and their own compositions. Low Lily performs on the Golden Link concert series on Saturday, February 27 at 7:30 pm. "A band definitely on the up. Sweet harmonies ... tight arrangements ... divine." (Fatea, U.K.).
In May, Golden Link finishes our 45th year of existence – just for Tuesday evening sing-arounds that's about 5,400 hours of music, roughly 81,000 songs. Quite remarkable!
Responses to a recent survey repeatedly mentioned two things about the club that have played a role in its longevity: music and community.

Q: How to get perf stat list all possible events I'm analyzing some weird program run time behaviour with perf, with some help on IRC. By default perf stat only lists a few counters, and not those of interest, so there is an annoying ping-pong of "include this counter in the output" and me adding it to the list of arguments passed via -e and pasting the result.
Is there a way to make perf stat simply emit all counters, so that one report is all the experts need to help me?

A: Short answer: no.
Rationale:
The performance monitor counter (PMU) unit of a CPU is implemented
by a number of additional registers so, that, for some chosen event
the designed register is incremented.
Now, the number of registers is limited, because adding register
to CPU is very "costly" thing.
So, there are many more events then available PMU registers to count
them.
Bottom line, you have to choose the subset of CPU events to monitor
using CPU PMU unit.

This week we handle one of the lightning rod issues of our current culture: race. As our nation is faced with attempting to unify races, many within the church are calling for the same action. But is there truly a systemic racial divide within the bride of Christ? What's the answer to fixing the racial rift in America? What does scripture have to say on the issue? And, what other related social issue of our day is even more important for Christians to address? Join two of the whitest men you know attempt to gently seek scriptural guidance on this hot button issue. We hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! As always, thank you for listening! Please check out our blog at www.twothievespodcast.com and send any and all feedback to twothievespodcast@gmail.com. Soli Deo Gloria!
This week: the doctrine of repentance. The most basic teaching of the man who was sent to make way for Christ is unfortunately glazed over far too often in the modern American church. A command not just for the lost, but for the redeemed in Christ all the more. At such a critical juncture in our country, this is an issue that God's people must be willing to convey as an essential part of the Great Commission. Without repentance, we cannot see our need for a savior. Without a savior, we are hopelessly condemned.
Yep… We're going to be those annoying Calvinists who keep reminding you that all political elections pale in comparison to the true, eternal election of God the Father. If you're sick of hearing about The Donald, exit polls, and the electoral college, join us as we tackle what may be an even more controversial type of election. So how should we view the 'U' in TULIP? Just how is God's election 'unconditional?' Where do we get the concept from in scripture? What are some common objections to unconditional election? We hope you give us a listen this week as we address this contentious point of Calvinism.
All of your feedback is welcome at twothievespodcast@gmail.com. If you haven't had a chance, check out our website and blog at www.twothievespodcast.com. Please rate us 5 stars on iTunes!!! Thanks for listening!!
Fortunately for all of us, we're only one week away from quite possibly the most divisive election is U.S. history. For the most part we've stayed silent on the issue. But as we've discussed politics more and more we've come to see how someone's theology affects their political approach. Or, unfortunately, the other way around. So how does our theology influence our outlook on government? Does God even care about what happens in our election? Is Donald Trump the cure for what ails America? Join us this week as we answer these questions as well as discuss Two Kingdom Theology, wicked leaders, and the judgement of God. Your feedback is always welcome at twothievespodcast@gmail.com or our contact page on www.twothievespodcast.com. If you are an Android user, check us out on the Podcast Source app!

Collection of Diogenes the Cynic of Sinope Images Quotes
Adam Sherif Saturday, March 2, 2019 Edit this post
Collection of Diogenes the Cynic of Sinope Quotes
Diogenes also was known as Diogenes the Cynic (Ancient Greek: Διογένης ὁ Κυνικός, Diogenēs ho Kynikos), was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynic philosophy. He was born in Sinope, an Ionian colony on the Black Sea, in 412 or 404 BC and died at Corinth in 323 BC.
Diogenes the Cynic of Sinope Image Quotes:
"Behold! I've brought you a man."
― Diogenes of Sinope
"When someone reminded him that the people of Sinope had sentenced him to exile, he said, "And I sentenced them to stay at home."
― Diogenes
"And at last, becoming a complete misanthrope, he used to live, spending his time in walking about the mountains; feeding on grasses and plants, and in consequence of these habits, he was attacked by the dropsy, and so when he returned to the city, and asked the physicians, in a riddle, whether they were able to produce a drought after wet weather. And as they did not understand him, he shut himself up in a stable for oxen, and covered himself with cow-dung, hoping to cause the wet to evaporate from him, by the warmth that this produced. And as he did himself no go good in this way, he died, having lived seventy years;"
― Diogenes, The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers
"You are a simpleton, Hegesias; you do not choose painted figs, but real ones; and yet you pass over the true training and would apply yourself to written rules"
A philosopher named Aristippus, who had quite willingly sucked up to Dionysus and won himself a spot at his court, saw Diogenes cooking lentils for a meal. "If you would only learn to compliment Dionysus, you wouldn't have to live on lentils."
"Blushing is the color of virtue."
"I am a citizen of the world."
― Diogenes of Sinope, The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers
"I have nothing to ask but that you would remove to the other side, that you may not, by intercepting the sunshine, take from me what you cannot give."
"It takes a wise man to discover a wise man."
"To one who asked what was the proper time for lunch, he said, "If a rich man, when you will; if a poor man, when you can."
"It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little."
"Once he saw the officials of a temple leading away someone who had stolen a bowl belonging to the treasurers, and said, "The great thieves are leading away from the little thief."
"When people laughed at him because he walked backward beneath the portico, he said to them: "Aren't you ashamed, you who walk backward along the whole path of existence, and blame me for walking back along the path of the promenade?"
Diogenes replied, "But if you would only learn to live on lentils, you wouldn't have to flatter Dionysus."
"It is not that I am mad, it is only that my head is different from yours."
"Alexander the Great found the philosopher looking attentively at a pile of human bones. Diogenes explained, "I am searching for the bones of your father but cannot distinguish them from those of a slave."
"Of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anybody's feelings?"
"The foundation of every state is the education of its youth."
"Dogs and philosophers do the greatest good and get the fewest rewards."― Diogenes of Sinope
"The art of being a slave is to rule one's master."
"Poverty is a virtue which one can teach oneself."
"No man is hurt but by himself"
"In a rich man's house, there is no place to spit but his face."
"What I like to drink most is a wine that belongs to others."
"The only way to gall and fret effectively is for yourself to be a good and honest man."

She takes care of them alone after her husband disappeared.
Mariam is on the list of women around the world who have given birth to the most number of children.
Top on the list is a Russian woman who gave birth to 69 children.
Mariam Nabatanzi is a Ugandan woman, a mother of 38 children having lost six of them.
She got married off when she was just a year shy of teenage-hood, to a man 28 years older than her.
"I take care of my children by myself. Others have asked me to give birth for them but I cannot do that," she told Citizen TV's Saida Swaleh during a recent interview at her home.
She recalls how distraught she was when she was married off to a man 28 years older than her.
Mariam says she had no idea she was going to be married. She only realised what had happened after she escorted a relative but ended up being given off to the man. This was in 1993.
She gave birth to her first children when she was 13: a set of twins.
The Ugandan woman however currently lives alone with her children in Kabimbiri village, Mukono District in central Uganda.
According to her, the man disappeared after becoming violent and marrying other wives.
During a past interview with Daily Monitor, Mariam narrated how her husband humiliated and tortured her during their 25 years of marriage.
"….he beats to the pulp when I try to reason with him over any issue, especially when he gets home drunk….the children hardly know who he is since he is an absent father who gives his children names over the phone and not physically," she said.
She gave birth to all of them through vaginal birth except the last born who was delivered via Caesarean Section.
Ugandan media first carried her story in 2017 when she was listed among women who have had the most children.
They referred to her as the most fertile Ugandan woman. However, Mariam Nabatanzi says she tried using different contraceptives but they failed her.
"I even visited several doctors to ask them to help me because I felt my fertility would kill me but they were unable to intervene," she told South Africa's Citizen newspaper.
On the top of the list is a woman only identified as Mrs. Vassilyev, a peasant woman from Russia who gave birth to 69 children.
This means that she was pregnant for 18 out of her 40 years.

PCA Named New Hampshire's #1 Private K-12 School
PORTSMOUTH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY NAMED 2022 #1 BEST PRIVATE K-12 SCHOOL IN STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
DOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE (September 22, 2021) – Portsmouth Christian Academy (PCA) has been named 2022 #1 Best Private K-12 School in New Hampshire by Niche for the fourth year in a row.
With over 140 million reviews and ratings for schools across America, Niche.com is a market leader in connecting schools with students and families across the nation.
PCA earned this #1 ranking by scoring highly on a variety of factors including SAT/ACT scores, student-teacher ratio, the quality of colleges that its students consider, and reviews from students, parents, alumni, and employees. The statistical data used in this ranking was obtained from the U.S. Department of Education and then analyzed by Niche's team of data scientists to create the 2022 rankings.
Mike Runey, PCA's Head of School, says, "It's an honor to receive this national distinction by Niche for the fourth year in a row. We are proud of the excellent education that PCA delivers to families, and this recognition is an affirmation that we are carrying out our mission to inspire students to maximize their God-given potential."
Runey goes on to say, "With the changes and challenges for schools the past few years, families are searching for an education best fit for their children's learning needs. With honest reviews from other parents and students on Niche.com, we hope that families get a firsthand account of what schools like PCA are truly like in order to find a place best fit for their child to thrive. Reading feedback from parents, students, and alumni, I'm grateful to be part of a community partnering with families to make an impact."
With more than 700 private schools in New Hampshire, PCA's recognition as the #1 Best Private K-12 School is a noteworthy accolade.
The Sayre family remarked, "PCA provides our son with a high-quality education, an opportunity to grow in his walk with Jesus Christ, and a chance to rekindle and grow his friendships from his start at PCA. The teachers, staff, and leadership are all second to none… We are blessed to call PCA part of our Seacoast home!"
Alumni, Caroline writes, "PCA challenged me academically, socially, and spiritually. I left PCA genuinely feeling prepared for the life ahead of me."

I was shocked to see that the NHL is battling an outbreak of mumps — yes, the mumps. It's a disease from my generation's childhood that we in the medical community thought was kaput. Not so. It has affected a handful of teams, taking players completely off the ice for up to a week.

Hello.. I am trying to test jBPM6 persistence using OpenJPA and MySQL database. The version of the jBPM that I am using is the 6.0.1.Final.
I am getting several exceptions.
At first, I would like to ask if there are specific instructions somewhere or any other discussions referring to using jBPM with OpenJPA which could be helpful.
<openjpa-2.2.2-r422266:1468616 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.util.MetaDataException: "org.jbpm.persistence.correlation.CorrelationPropertyInfo.id" declares generator name "correlationPropertyInfoIdSeq", but uses the AUTO generation type. The only valid generator names under AUTO are "uuid-hex" and "uuid-string".
There has been a demand for OpenJPA support from the community for some time, but unfortunately, I haven't had the time to add support for it. Some members have forked the source code and then been able to modify the code to support it: I believe the necessary changes consist mostly of changes to the entity classes (JPA annotation tweaks).
At the moment, we only support hibernate 4 with drools/jbpm. I'm hoping to add OpenJPA compatibility by the end of the 2014.

My situation was a little different from most. The majority of cars I sold I were bought from a wholesaler (who was getting them at auction). I didn't know any history on them except what was included at the auction, which usually isn't much. I did sell two of my personal cars as well which I knew lots about having them for 15 and 10 years. I also sold one other vehicle for a friend, so I had some knowledge of the vehicle. I'm going to approach this as if you are only going to consider selling your personal vehicle. Most people don't know a car wholesaler that will work with them not to mention it is a lot of work to flip cars.
Craigslist was good source for selling cars but now they charge real high price…if you want to sale 25-30 cars on craigslist your cost will increase..of course there is by owner category that is free but flagging issues are high..I think this is the perfect time for any business who want to beat craigslist….

Air France-KLM CEO sees lower long-haul traffic
Published: Sept. 20, 2016 at 6:56 a.m. ET
Inti Landauro
PARIS--The number of long-haul passengers flown to and from France by Air France-KLM will likely fall by between 5% and 10% in the fourth quarter, Chief Executive Jean-Marc Janaillac said Tuesday.
Tourists from countries such as the U.S., Japan, China and Korea were dissuaded from traveling to France after recent terror attacks in the country and the trend will likely continue, Mr. Janaillac said.
He said the number of passengers to France in July and August had fallen by 14%.
The French tourism industry has been severely hit since late 2015 as potential tourists stayed away following terror attacks that have killed more than 200 people since November 2015. A wide range of companies and institutions such as AccorHotels and Paris's main museums already reported falling attendance in the summer.

Crazy money, Ludacris Net Worth | Comes Under Top 100 Richest Rappers
By Giza Mdoe on November 16, 2020 Business, Net Worth
Ludacris Net Worth 2021
The rapper and actor from Champaign, Illinois, Ludacris has a net worth that is estimated to be $80 million making him one of the top 100 richest rappers in the world.
Ludacris net worth
The college graduate has music and acting in his resume and has over the years acquired a considerable amount of fortune over the years. Known for pioneering the sound of deep South Hip-Hop to the mainstream, 'Luda' is one of the most recognizable names in the music industry.
Ludacris wrote his first rap when he was only nine years old, and moved on to join his first rap group at the tender age of only twelve. After high school, he studied music at Georgia State University.
Born Christopher Brian Bridges, Ludacris is the CEO of the record company 'Disturbing Tha Peace' and with three Grammy Awards under his belt, Ludacris has a net worth of $80 million.
The fact that his birthday is on 09.11 only served to add the insanity of his persona which the millionaire rapper describes himself as having a split personality and which in his words is simply ludicrous.

Ludacris Instagram Profile
It is that core of genius-insanity that Mr. Bridges says led to the coining of his alias Ludacris.
You can, in his coined name see the loony and genius at work combining ludicrous and his first name Christopher to come up with the hip hop household name Ludacris, a favorite on former President Obama's playlist.
Ludacris joined the world of fame and fortune after he signed with Def Jam Records where he produced his first album: Back for the First Time which hit the number four spot on the US Billboard 200.
His next two albums Word of Mouf and Chicken-n-Beer and that he moved on to be nominated for a Grammy and when his fourth album, The Red Light District, came out, it debuted at the number one spot on the Billboard charts.
Some huge moneymaker singles for Luda include "Money Maker," which was a number-one single and that album sold 309,000 units. Later, Ludaversal debuted at the number three spot on the Billboard 200.
Ludacris' acting career features famous roles in Fast and Furious, Hustle & Flow, and Crash. Notably, between August 2014 and August 2015 alone, Ludacris earned approximately $8 million from his acting and musical endeavors.
The genius musician is also an apt entrepreneur who co-owns Conjure Cognac, a line of headphones called Soul by Ludacris. He wouldn't be truly from the south if he did not own a restaurant and other than the food business, he is also into real estate.
He started small when in 2007 he bought a condo in Los Angeles and then a second unit in the same building then bought a $4.8 million house in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, and also owns a very large and impressive estate in Fayetteville, Georgia.
Trouble in paradise: It has not all been sweets and candy for Luda, in 2014 Ludacris was taken to court by his ex-girlfriend over child support. Tamika Fuller sued for $15,000 a month to help her raise their 2-year daughter Cai.

Laroque-Timbaut est une commune du Sud-Ouest de la France, située dans le département de Lot-et-Garonne (région Nouvelle-Aquitaine).

Géographie

Localisation
Commune de l'aire d'attraction d'Agen située dans le Pays de Serres à  au nord-est d'Agen et  au sud-ouest de Villeneuve-sur-Lot.

Communes limitrophes

Hydrographie
La commune est traversée par  la Masse d'Agen affluent de la Garonne.

Transport
Accès par le train en gare de Laroque sur ligne de Niversac à Agen et par la route départementale 656, ancienne route nationale 656.

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat du Bassin du Sud-Ouest », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique altéré » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Il s'agit d'une zone de transition entre le climat océanique et les climats de montagne et semi-continental. Les écarts de température entre hiver et été augmentent avec l'éloignement de la mer. La pluviométrie est plus faible qu'en bord de mer, sauf aux abords des reliefs.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot », sur la commune de Sainte-Livrade-sur-Lot, mise en service en 1989 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Agen-La Garenne », sur la commune d'Estillac,  mise en service en 1941 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000, à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Laroque-Timbaut est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.

Par ailleurs la commune fait partie de l'aire d'attraction d'Agen, dont elle est une commune de la couronne. Cette aire, qui regroupe , est catégorisée dans les aires de  à moins de .

Occupation des sols

L'occupation des sols de la commune, telle qu'elle ressort de la base de données européenne d'occupation biophysique des sols Corine Land Cover (CLC), est marquée par l'importance des territoires agricoles (87,9 % en 2018), néanmoins en diminution par rapport à 1990 (90,7 %). La répartition détaillée en 2018 est la suivante :
terres arables (38,9 %), zones agricoles hétérogènes (28,9 %), prairies (20,1 %), forêts (6,6 %), zones urbanisées (5,4 %).

L'IGN met par ailleurs à disposition un outil en ligne permettant de comparer l'évolution dans le temps de l'occupation des sols de la commune (ou de territoires à des échelles différentes). Plusieurs époques sont accessibles sous forme de cartes ou photos aériennes : la carte de Cassini (), la carte d'état-major (1820-1866) et la période actuelle (1950 à aujourd'hui).

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Laroque-Timbaut est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), mouvements de terrains et séisme (sismicité très faible). Il est également exposé à deux risques technologiques,  le transport de matières dangereuses et le risque nucléaire. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels
Les mouvements de terrains susceptibles de se produire sur la commune sont des affaissements et effondrements liés aux cavités souterraines (hors mines) et des tassements différentiels. Afin de mieux appréhender le risque d'affaissement de terrain, un inventaire national permet de localiser les éventuelles cavités souterraines sur la commune.

Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. La totalité de la commune est en aléa moyen ou fort (91,8 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Depuis le , en application de la loi ELAN, différentes contraintes s'imposent aux vendeurs, maîtres d'ouvrages ou constructeurs de biens situés dans une zone classée en aléa moyen ou fort.

La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1993, 1999 et 2009, par la sécheresse en 2003, 2009, 2011 et 2017 et par des mouvements de terrain en 1999.

Risque technologique
La commune étant située dans le périmètre du plan particulier d'intervention (PPI) de  autour de la centrale nucléaire de Golfech, elle est exposée au risque nucléaire. En cas d'accident nucléaire, une alerte est donnée par différents médias (sirène, sms, radio, véhicules). Dès l'alerte, les personnes habitant dans le périmètre de  se mettent à l'abri. Les personnes habitant dans le périmètre de  peuvent être amenées, sur ordre du préfet, à évacuer et ingérer des comprimés d'iode stable.

Toponymie
Laroque Timbaut (Rupes Théobaldi) porte son nom d'origine germanique : le rocher de Thibault.
Théobaldi, seigneur de Metz en l'an 505, semble avoir donné son nom au village juché sur le rocher.

 La tour de l'Horloge : entre la halle et l'horloge le sol était à même le rocher, une simple passerelle reliait les deux édifices. Autrefois, l'horloge était une tour de guet. Il n'y avait ni pont-levis, ni herse. Pour la fermeture, il y avait une simple porte.
 Le château fort et le donjon : le château est cité dans un acte de 1271. En 1272, les seigneurs agissant chacun en raison de leur droit sur un quart de cette seigneurie, donnèrent des coutumes. Les plus puissants furent sans aucun doute les Durfort.
Il ne reste plus rien du château. Il fut détruit bien avant la Révolution, par la faute du dernier seigneur de Laroque, Raffin d'Hauterive. C'est la population qui entreprit la démolition par vengeance. Il ne reste que le donjon, voué au XIXe et au début du  à une réserve d'eau. Il desservait les bornes fontaines, situées à chaque coin de rue du bourg. Cette citerne était alimentée par des pompes, actionnées par une grande roue.
 La rue de Lô : c'est la plus ancienne rue de Laroque. On aperçoit dans cette rue les soubassement des fortifications du château et les dépendances où logeait les domestiques et les serviteurs du château.
 Remparts et la porte du Traître. En 1418, par la porte de Cordoue, les Anglais s'emparèrent du château par trahison. Le lendemain, le traître fut pendu à cette porte par ces mêmes Anglais. Ils furent chassés peu de temps après par le seigneur de Montpezat.

Advice for gurdwaras on coronavirus
March 20th, 2020 | Posted by Singh in Current Issues | Press Releases - (0 Comments)
Why we should seriously consider the temporary closing of normal gatherings in gurdwaras to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19)
We have been followed the evolving government guidance on the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic closely and are aware of guidelines being disseminated by other Sikh organisations in response to it.[i] Many gurdwaras have already taken steps to curtail or completely stop services.
Although it's not an easy decision to make, following discussion with medical professionals some of whom are at the frontline of tackling the disease, we have concluded UK gurdwaras should seriously consider temporary closure of normal gatherings to prevent transmission of Covid-19.
The reason we have come to this conclusion are as follows:
Public Health England have advised that those who are at increased risk of severe illness include those over 70 (without underlying disease) or those over 70 with comorbidities.[ii] Many of those who regularly frequent gurdwaras are over 70, and many of them are likely to have comorbidities like diabetes or heart disease.
During services in the gurdwara the congregation normally sit near each other. Public Health England have issued guidelines around social distancing and advise to, 'avoid large gatherings, and gatherings in smaller public spaces such as cinemas, restaurants and theatres.'[iii] Gurdwaras carry similar risks, especially large gatherings like the Anand Karaj (Sikh wedding ceremony).
Although recommendations on hand washing for 20 seconds with soap and respiratory hygiene[iv] have been issued, there remains a risk of transmission during the preparation and serving of langar (free kitchen).
As many Sikhs live in extended families, if someone were to pick up the virus from a gurdwara setting, there is a risk they could become a 'super-spreader' and Covid-19 could be transmitted to different generations in the same family, including the most vulnerable.
We have a wonderful religion and it would be useful if we devote some of the time that we and our children would normally spend in visiting the gurdwara, on reflecting on the Gurus' teachings through studying Gurbani at home with our children, and through listening to, or watching Sikh religious programmes on radio, TV and the internet. Focusing on the teachings of Gurbani will help to carry us through these difficult times.

Why we need the APPG for British Sikhs to be transparent with their 'ethnicity' campaign
August 27th, 2018 | Posted by Singh in Current Issues | Press Releases - (0 Comments)
On 23 July 2018 the APPG for British Sikhs, which is run by the Sikh Federation UK, announced they had written to 250 gurdwaras asking them if they supported their campaign for a separate Sikh ethnic tick box for the 2021 census. They say they received just over one hundred responses, confirming: 'in a remarkable show of unity all 112 Gurdwaras, that include the largest Gurdwaras in the UK, have indicated they are in favour of a separate Sikh ethnic tick box.'
The figure of 112 was reported in the Times and has been something referred to in a number of articles in the mainstream media. We now have concerns about whether or not this number is accurate. A tweet by @SikhFedUK on 23 August 2018 (above) suggested Hounslow gurdwara (Alice Way) were one of the 112 that wrote to the APPG for British Sikhs in support of the ethnic tick box.
We asked Hounslow gurdwara if this was the case or not. The Joint General Secretary told us: 'I was surprised to hear that allegedly, Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha Hounslow had changed its position on Sikhi not being an ethnic group. Having checked with the President and the General Secretary today (both copied on this email), I confirm that we stand with the NSO and have not changed our position. We are of the view Sikhi is a religion made up of diverse ethnicity which cannot be classed as a single ethnic group.'
We have asked the Sikh Federation UK for comment, but they haven't yet responded.
Interestingly, when Dr Jagbir Jhutti-Johal from the University of Birmingham raised legitimate questions in an article titled 'Sikh ethnic tick box in the 2021 Census and a question about research and methodology', she was bombarded with vitriolic tweets, some deliberately tagged into her employers. Given what we now know about Hounslow, should the secretariat to the APPG for British Sikhs not urgently release the list of 112 gurdwaras, briefing supplied and responses received?

The shameful treatment of Amrik Singh Chandigarh
May 13th, 2018 | Posted by Singh in Current Issues | Press Releases - (0 Comments)
Giani Amrik Singh Chandigarh
The NSO has spoken at length to Amrik Singh Chandigarh who shared a full and detailed account of the background to the violent attack against him, which we understand is currently under investigation by police authorities.
It is simply appalling that the victim of an unprovoked assault, is being blamed by some for shameful violence at Singh Sabha Gurdwara Southall earlier this week.
Last weekend Amrik Singh [pictured], a well-respected preacher from India was invited to speak at Gurdwara Singh Sabha Slough and his exposition of Gurbani was well received there. He was then invited to Singh Sabha Southall. His preaching urges us to respect the teachings of the Gurus and the Guru Granth Sahib and not to follow false gurus and sects.
His uncompromising stance on the primacy of Guru Granth Sahib upset a gang of known hooligans from Tividale gurdwara in the Midlands. The gang owe allegiance to the so-called Dasam Granth in its entirety; despite the fact that it was compiled by non-Sikhs and much of its contents extol the exploits of Hindu gods and goddesses.
This is not the first time that this sect has resorted to physical violence against those that reject their distortion of our Gurus' teachings. Another Sikh, beaten up by them a few years back, still walks with a limp. Unfortunately, some members of the Managing Committee in Southall belong to this sect. When they got to know of the invitation, they alerted the thugs who turned up at the gurdwara determined to stop Amrik Singh speaking.
In an attempt to diffuse the situation, the President, Gurmel Singh Mahli, invited the sect members and Amrik Singh to join him in a committee room to sort out their differences. The assault on Amrik Singh took place as they were on their way to the meeting room. Unfortunately, the President then decided to take the side of the sect and asked Amrik Singh (who had not spoken a word) to apologise or he would be barred from speaking in any UK gurdwara. Knocking off Amrik Singh's turban undoubtedly hurt his sense of dignity and self-esteem and his physical injuries will last longer. In offering this visitor to the UK our sympathy and support, we should also look at and take action on the following underlying issues.
Members of a gurdwara managing committee must commit themselves to following our Guru's hukam to be true to the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib and not those of any other cult or sect.
Violence of any sort in a gurdwara should be reported to the police and perpetrators and their supporters should be barred until they give the sangat a public apology for their behaviour.
Gurdwaras should only be places for the preaching of Sikhism. Those that want to preach distortions, however sincerely held, should do so in separate places of worship.
Action Required by Sikh Organisations in the UK
The NSO requests the Sikh Council, the Sikh Federation, City Sikhs and other Sikh groupings to join with us in condemning both the actions of the hooligans from Midlands, and the dereliction of duty of the management of Singh Sabha Southall for allowing its premises to be used as venue for anti-Sikh behaviour.
A prompt condemnation of the Takhsali bully boys will speak volumes. So also will silence.

Trump's War on Islam and Clash of Civilization Wrecking Crew!
In the few days since Trump took office, the new administration has re-deployed Islam at the center of its anti-terrorism campaign. Trump expressed this shift in his inauguration speech, which had the following line to frame the new administration's relations with Islam and the Muslim world: "We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones and unite the civilized world against radical Islamic terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the earth." In this short line, Trump ushered his new policy where terrorism is identified with a religious identity. The administration will translate this shift into a set of policies that will target Muslims as a group both domestically and internationally. What does this shift mean and, more importantly, what are the ramifications for American Muslims and Muslims across the globe?
Words are important and the use of the label "Islamic" is not incidental and is intended to establish a causal link between Islam and terrorism. Here, the emphasis is on the "Islamic" part rather than "radical" or "terrorism" itself for this matter since the latter are terms that include a host of actors and is not confined to Muslims. For the Islamophobia industry, Islam itself — not only terrorism — is the main target and the emphasis all along has been to draw a wider net that can give credence to the clash of civilization thesis. Islam, as a focal point of attack and problematization, has been a key ideological thread connecting the clash of civilization advocates and the political, social, economic and religious concentric circles they operate within.
Indeed, civilization clash advocates all along have called for a militant and confrontational strategy toward the Muslim world. Writing and theorizing about the hoped-for confrontation was not enough to produce the needed results, thus the Islamophobes worked earnestly over a 15-year period to create the source materials to push it into the centers of policy making circles. The "Islamic" in the framing is the critical piece that is utilized to refocus the anti-terrorism effort at Islam itself as the source ideology for everything gone wrong in the world today. Certainly, the Islamophobes assert an immediate causality between Islam, as a tradition, and on the current terrorism, which also goes a long way to explain the hyper attention given to classical Islamic text and history. By positing Islam as the problem, the Islamophobes can mobilize the needed arguments for constant military intervention, strengthening partnership with Israel and frame it as the model to emulate on security issues, express support for autocratic dictators in the Arab world, rationalization of torture, restrictions on movements of Muslims and others, impose limits on fundamental freedoms and push for securitization of the Western society itself. Trump is the foreman of the clash of civilization wrecking crew intent on pushing for a confrontation with Islam.
Trump on several occasions during the campaign and on TV called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering into the United States." In one interview, Trump stated that "Islam hates us" and "we are at war with Islam." At times when pressed by journalists on banning Muslims, Trump included radical Islam in the response and then pivoted to demand extreme vetting for immigrants and refugees from the Muslim world, as if none existed at the time. Trump continued, "It's radical, but it's very hard to define. It's very hard to separate. Because you don't know who's who." Thus, the inclusion and the constant references to Islam are not incidental and reflect deep-seated antagonism and open hostility that are shared by Trump's inner circle of advisors and operatives, who collectively share a clash of civilization world view and are intent on acting upon it. It's critical to remind everyone that the supposed clash of civilization is a highly contested thesis and Trump's wrecking crew are proposing to test it in the lab, the Muslim world. Sane voices are in short supply in the White House and within the current administration.
"Flynn: We are at war with a radical component of Islam. … Islam is a political ideology based on a religion.
Here, it is important to point out the dubious trans-historical claim of a Judeo-Christian world, a recent construct that emerges only after WWII. In reality, European Christian history is but a long series of pogroms, death and destruction visited upon the Jews and other minorities ; events like the Inquisition and the Holocaust are the norm, rather than an exception when the history is examined. I would maintain that a Judeo-Muslim world is a far more accurate description of history than Bannon's obfuscation and attempt at reading back into history the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict while absolving Christian Europe of its never-ending anti-Semitism that provided the ideological and theological railroad that led to the camps and the Holocaust.
Islam becomes the new foil through which Trump, Bannon, Flynn and other clash of civilization advocates make it possible to cleanse the blood that fills the pages of European and Western history. Islam becomes the all-encompassing problem that threatens and undermines Western civilization rather than the rich and powerful 1% that have pursued a scorch earth social, economic and political policy that left the 99% behind. Trump and his clash of civilization wrecking crew are working to mobilize, mine and manipulate historical memories so as to foment a global war, which if it happened would prove their thesis. Destroying the world to prove an ignorant thesis is a very high price for humanity to pay!
