'Laocoön and his Sons': Snaky Business with Sculpture in Ancient Rhodes

The myth of Laocoön dates back to the seventh century BCE as part of a series of poems that told the story of the Trojan War.
By Dr. Amanda Herring
Assistant Professor of Art History
The sculptural group known today as the Laocoön or Laocoön and his Sons has been both one of the most influential ancient artworks in the history of art and one of the most fiercely debated. It has been copied by countless artists, and numerous books have been written about it, yet there is still little scholarly consensus about the circumstances of its creation.
Athanadoros, Hagesandros, and Polydoros of Rhodes, Laocoön and his Sons, early first century C.E., marble, 7'10 1/2″ high (Vatican Museums); speakers: Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker
The statue was discovered in 1506 on the Esquiline Hill in Rome by a farmer working in his vineyard. The Laocoön was only one of a number of ancient artworks that had been abandoned, forgotten, and eventually buried under later buildings and streets. During the Renaissance, a number of these artworks were rediscovered, either accidentally during construction projects or purposefully by people hunting for the artworks which had become greatly admired. One of the first people to see the statue was Michelangelo, who was sent by the pope, Julius II, along with architect Guiliano da Sangallo, to inspect the statue after its excavation. Julius, like many of his sixteenth-century Italian contemporaries, was a connoisseur and collector of ancient Greek and Roman art. He purchased the statue, and it has remained in the collection of the Vatican ever since.
Most likely dating to the first century B.C.E. or first century C.E., the statue is made of six blocks of Greek Parian marble. It is over-life sized, at a height of 6' 8". The composition depicts the tortuous death of Laocoön and his two sons by snakes (read the full story below). All three are nude with clearly defined, exaggerated musculature. Bands of clenched muscles are visible under the skin of Laocoön's torso as he reaches up to fight off the snakes. The statue, like all ancient Greek and Roman marble sculptures, would have been painted originally. The bright green of the twisting snakes and the red blood drawn by their bites would have stood out against the tan flesh of Laocoön and his sons.
Laocoön is at the center of the composition, sitting in a twisted position on an altar. One snake sinks its teeth into his hip. Laocoön throws his head back as he screams in agony. His hair and beard curl in deeply carved locks, contributing to the sculpture's dramatic tone. Based on surviving paint on his eyes, some scholars have argued that he has been blinded by the bites of the snakes.
Laocoön is flanked by his two teenaged sons. The figure on the left, the younger of the two, has gone limp, and it is likely that he is already dead. The older son, on the right, pulls snake coils off his leg and arm. He turns to look at his father, an expression of horror and confusion on his face.

With its emphasis on theatricality and exaggerated realism, it is similar to artworks of the so-called Hellenistic baroque, such as the Nike of Samothrace and the Great Altar at Pergamon. While the style is most closely associated with the city of Pergamon and the island Rhodes in the second century B.C.E., Hellenistic baroque had an enduring popularity, and artworks in the style continued to be produced into the Roman Imperial period, with Rome becoming a center of Hellenistic art.
The Story of Laocoön
The myth of Laocoön dates back to the seventh century B.C.E. It was part of the Epic Cycle, a series of poems that told the story of the Trojan War (Greeks against the city of Troy, in present-day Turkey). Today, only the Iliad and the Odyssey survive, but we have fragments or descriptions of the other volumes. Laocoön appeared in the now-lost Ilioupersis (the sack of Troy) by Arktinos of Miletos. Versions of Laocoön's story appeared after that, notably in a now-lost fifth century B.C.E. play of Sophocles.
The version closest chronologically to the Laocoön statue appeared in Roman writer Vergil's Aeneid, published in 19 B.C.E. The Aeneid tells the story of the Trojan warrior Aeneas who escapes from Troy during its destruction and makes his way to Italy, where he rules over the Latin people. The story of Laocoön forms part of book two, which recounts the sack of Troy. The Greeks pretended to give up their siege of Troy with its unbreakable walls, leaving only a large wooden horse as a final offering to the gods. In actuality, some hid out of sight while others hid inside the horse. Only a few Trojans spoke against bringing the horse inside the city. The first was Cassandra, who was blessed with the gift of prophecy, but cursed that no one would ever believe her. The other was Laocoön, a priest of Neptune (Greek Poseidon). He warned the Trojans with his now famous line, "I fear the Greeks, even when they bring gifts." But the gods had decided the Greeks were to win the war, and no one, divine or mortal, can defy fate. So the gods sent a pair of snakes to silence Laocoön. They came from the sea, attacking Laocoön and his sons while he made a sacrifice. They bit and wrapped themselves around the three, killing first the sons and then Laocoön. This is the moment represented in the marble statue.

Trojan war stories were popular in ancient Rome, especially during the reigns of the Julio-Claudian emperors (27 B.C.E.–68 C.E.). The myths connected the Romans back to the ancient and revered past, giving them legitimacy as a cultural and military power through these connections. The Julian family traced their lineage directly back to the Trojan warrior Aeneas, and so actively promoted art and literature like the Aeneid that focused on Troy.
While Laocoön was a recurring subject in texts, he was not as popular in art. Images of Laocoön have been identified on a few pots made by south Italian Greeks in the fourth century B.C.E., but most of the known images are Roman. Gems dating to the late imperial period as well as two first-century C.E. paintings from houses in Pompeii depict the death of Laocoön. Artworks are few, however, and the marble statue is the only monumental depiction of the subject to survive.
Pliny and the Laocoön
The Laocoön is fairly unusual among surviving ancient artworks because it is described in an ancient text, Natural History, by Pliny the Elder. Most of the famous artworks described by ancient authors have been lost and those artworks that have survived are without ancient textual description.
Pliny, a Roman aristocrat and scholar, published the first volumes of The Natural History in 77 C.E. This encyclopedia was intended to record all known knowledge. In his discussion of famous statues, Pliny describes the Laocoön as he saw it in the house of the ancient Roman emperor Titus, and attributes it to the artists Hagesandros, Polydoros, and Athenodoros of Rhodes. Pliny praises the statue as superior to all other artworks. Despite some inconsistencies between the Laocoön statue and Pliny's description, notably the statue is made of multiple blocks of stone rather than a single block as Pliny says, it is widely accepted that the Laocoön in the Vatican is the statue described by Pliny.
Dating the Laocoön
Another example of a Greek sculpture that was brought back to Rome, then copied. Lysippos, Apoxyomenos (Scraper), Roman copy after a Greek bronze statue from c. 330 B.C.E., 6′ 9″ high (Vatican Museums)
The circumstances surrounding the creation of the Laocoön, including its date, have been long debated by scholars. While one scholar proposed that the statue was actually a Renaissance forgery by Michelangelo, this theory has been widely discredited, and most scholars date the statue between 150 B.C.E. and 70 C.E. Each of these proposals examine why a statue in the Hellenistic Greek style was found in Rome, and the role of Romans as patrons and collectors of Greek sculpture.
The Romans, especially in the late Republic and early Empire, were active connoisseurs of Greek art. As they conquered Greek territories, they imported large numbers of Greek artworks to Italy, removing them from homes, public buildings, and sanctuaries. Romans displayed Greek artworks in their homes and public spaces, many in contexts far removed from their original locations and purposes. These artworks took on new meanings as symbols of the wealth and education of their owners. The Romans also commissioned copies of famous statues as well as new compositions inspired by Greek originals. Rome became a center of Hellenistic art as Greek artists moved to Italy to work for wealthy Romans.

Theories that posit the earliest date for the Laocoön propose that, based on stylistic similarities, the Laocoön is contemporary to the second-century B.C.E. Great Altar at Pergamon and that it was made in the Greek island of Rhodes before being exported to Rome. Other scholars propose that the marble statue found in Rome was a copy of an earlier second-century Greek original. Most writers, however, argue that the Laocoön was made in Rome for Roman patrons.
Part of the Skylla group, 1st century B.C.E.–1st century C.E., marble, Sperlonga (left photo: Carole Raddato, CC BY-SA 2.0; right photo: Sailko, CC BY 3.0)
Support for a Roman context for the creation of the statue comes from the site of Sperlonga, located between Rome and Naples. Here, the emperor Tiberius had a grotto for dining and entertainment decorated with monumental marble statues. The statues are over-life sized and depict scenes from the Trojan war or the life of Odysseus. They are in the same dramatic, hyper-realistic style as the Laocoön, and an artist's signature was found on the sculptural group that depicted Odysseus' run-in with the sea monster, Skylla attributing the statues to Hagesandros, Athenadoros, and Polydoros of Rhodes—the same artists to whom Pliny attributes the Laocoön. Debates over the creation of the Laocoön statue are therefore intertwined with the Sperlonga statues.
Most recent scholarly discussions have centered on whether the sculptures were made specifically for the grotto and Titus's palace or whether they were made earlier and moved to these locations. While there is still no definitive consensus, most scholars now place both the Sperlonga statues and the Laocoön in the first century B.C.E. or first century C.E. Their dramatic, Hellenistic style, along with the focus on Trojan war themes place them in line with the concerns of upper-class Roman patrons in these periods.
An Unquestionable Legacy
From Pliny to Michelangelo to modern visitors to the Vatican Museums, the Laocoön statue has made an impact on its viewers. Its dramatic depiction of the agony of Laocoön and his sons forges an emotional connection with its audience. While scholars continue to debate how and when it was created and its ancient context, its legacy is unquestionable.

Advice on coping with loss
by Hannah Wessel
I found this advice on Reddit. It was posted in response to a lady who asked for advice on coping with the loss of her best friend. It seems an unlikely place to find inspiration and advice, but I think this reply is incredibly moving and it has helped me deal with my grief since I lost my mother.
"Alright, here goes. I'm old. What that means is that I've survived (so far) and a lot of people I've known and loved did not. I've lost friends, best friends, acquaintances, co-workers, grandparents, mom, relatives, teachers, mentors, students, neighbours, and a host of other folks. I have no children, and I can't imagine the pain it must be to lose a child. But here's my two cents.
I don't want it to be something that just passes.
I wish I could say you get used to people dying. I never did. I don't want to. It tears a hole through me whenever somebody I love dies, no matter the circumstances. But I don't want it to "not matter". I don't want it to be something that just passes. My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love. So be it. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to love. And the scar tissue is stronger than the original flesh ever was. Scars are a testament to life. Scars are only ugly to people who can't see.
As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves.
As for grief, you'll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you're drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of the wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it's some physical thing. Maybe it's a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it's a person who is also floating. For a while, all you can do is float. Stay alive.
In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don't even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you'll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between, you can breathe, you can function. You never know what's going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything...and the wave comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life.
Somewhere down the line, and it's different for everybody, you find that the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O'Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow you will, again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you'll come out.
If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves
Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow you don't really want them to. But you learn that you'll survive them. And other waves will come. And you'll survive them too. If you're lucky, you'll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks."
The quote echoes a passage from Marcel Proust on the loss of a mother which I also find myself re-reading
"Now there is one thing I can tell you: you will enjoy certain pleasures you would not fathom now. When you still had your mother you often thought of the days when you would have her no longer. Now you will often think of days past when you had her. When you are used to this horrible thing that they will forever be cast into the past, then you will gently feel her revive, returning to take her place, her entire place, beside you. At the present time, this is not yet possible. Let yourself be inert, wait till the incomprehensible power ... that has broken you restores you a little, I say a little, for henceforth you will always keep something broken about you. Tell yourself this, too, for it is a kind of pleasure to know that you will never love less, that you will never be consoled, that you will constantly remember more and more.

La chiesa di San Rocco è una chiesa sussidiaria a Peio, in Trentino. Risale al XV secolo.

Storia

Sul sito era presente, prima della chiesa, una fortezza celto-retica, e infatti alcuni scavi e ricerche hanno rinvenuto armi e suppellettili a conferma di tale struttura. La prima chiesa con dedica a San Rocco a Peio fu eretta probabilmente in seguito ad una epidemia di peste che colpì il territorio, nel 1495, e la sua consacrazione venne celebrata nel 1500.

Durante il XVI secolo gli interni vennero affrescati, e rimangono ancora tracce di questi lavori nel presbiterio.

Attorno alla metà del XVII secolo l'edificio venne ampliato con la navata di maggiori dimensioni che ci è pervenuta. In quel periodo la chiesa fu meta di una visita pastorale e in tale occasione venne disposto che gli affreschi venissero coperti.

All'inizio del XX secolo, dopo anni di abbandono, l'edificio fu oggetto di restauri che riguardarono le strutture murarie e il pavimento della sala.

Nel 1915 la parte davanti alla facciata e che prima faceva parte del sagrato fu utilizzata come camposanto per i caduti austro-ungarici del primo conflitto mondiale.

Descrizione
L'edificio della chiesa ha una conformazione alquanto inusuale, è cinto da un muro e l'ingresso è il suo pronao avente una tettoia con copertura in scandole di tiglio così come il resto dell'edificio, sulla cui sommità vi è la cella campanaria a vela avente una sola campana. Il sagrato della chiesa durante la grande guerra era diventato luogo di sepoltura degli austro-ungarici morti durante i combattimenti, solo successivamente hanno trovato sepoltura i nove militari le cui salme sono state recuperate dopo il disgelo dei ghiacciai del Piz Giumela e del Presena.
L'aula, di piccole dimensioni, a unica navata, ha volte a crociera con il presbiterio dalla forma quadrata. Il solo altare presente nell'edificio è posto sul presbiterio ed è dedicato a san Rocco. L'ancona che contiene l'immagine del santo è ammalorata a causa del tempo e delle infiltrazioni d'acqua. L'opera fu realizzata dalla bottega dei Bezzi di Cusiano.

Reigning Cage Warriors Women's Flyweight Champion "Meatball" Molly McCann has signed for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, and will make her first octagon appearance at UFC Fight Night 130, which takes place in her home town of Liverpool.
Nolan King first reported the news on Twitter, and McCann confirmed the news to SevereMMA today.
The Liverpudlian confirmed to SevereMMA that she has signed a three fight contract with the UFC, and will face Gillian Anderson in her promotional debut.
McCann (7-1) has not lost since 2015, and since then has strung together six straight wins, with wins over names such as Lacey Schuckman and Bryony Tyrell. The outspoken Next Generation MMA fighter captured the Cage Warriors strap in her previous performance, stopping the aforementioned Tyrell in the second round of their bout at Cage Warriors 90 in the Echo Arena.
Robertson (4-2) appeared on The Ultimate Fighter Season 26, but was eliminated by Barb Honchak. She was, however, still given a shot in the UFC, and submitted Emily Whitmire in her debut at the TUF 26 Finale. The most notable name on the Canadian's record is Cynthia Calvillo, whom she lost a decision to on the Global Knockout show.
UFC Fight Night 130 takes place live from the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England, on Sunday, May 27. The card is set to be headlined by a pivotal welterweight match-up between hometown favorite Darren Till and Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson.


FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Fort Wayne's NBC) – Fort Wayne Police are trying to figure out how a man ended up dead in a field on the city's south side Saturday morning.
Around 9:30 a.m. Saturday, someone walking in the area spotted the body of an adult man in a cornfield in the 3300 block of Oakwood Drive and called police.
At this point, police are talking to neighbors in the area to find out what may have happened to the man.
Police would not say either way if the investigation was suspicious in nature or not.
The identity, cause, and manner of death will be determined by the Allen County Coroner following an autopsy.

Psychologists, who previously didn't have prescriptive authority, hope the new rule will increase Iowans' access to medications.
Leslie and Scott Carpenter look at issues related to helping someone with a mental illness.
Iowa psychologists are closer than ever to prescribing psychotropics and supporters of the move say it will help improve access to treatment.
"Iowans with mental health issues will now have another option when it comes to a medical profession that prescribes psychotropics," said Dr. Elizabeth Lonning, of the Psychology Health Group in Davenport.
Lonning helped develop the legislation which was first passed in the 2016 legislative session. Prior to the law's passage, only psychiatrists and other primary care physicians were allowed to prescribe.
Prior to the legislation going into effect, the Iowa Board of Medicine and the Iowa Board of Psychology were authorized to approve joint administrative rules.
Those rules were finally implemented in February, but Lonning said it could be at least a year before psychologists complete several requirements and start prescribing under provisional licenses.
Psychotropics are used to treat mental disorders. Supporters say allowing psychologists to prescribe alleviates a lack of access to the medications, particularly in rural areas.
Iowa has one of the worst rates for access to psychiatric treatment, coming in at 47th for the number of psychiatrists per capita, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. It places 44th in mental health workforce availability and 51st, including the District of Columbia, for its ratio of state psychiatric beds to residents.
Peggy Huppert, executive director of the Iowa chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said although the national organization was against the proposal, they are still generally in support of increasing access to mental health care.
The national alliance, she said, expressed concerns the application and training process isn't rigorous enough.
A statewide association of physicians, the Iowa Medical Society, also pushed for stricter training during the rule's drafting to protect patient safety.
Requirements to obtain a license are reviewed by the Iowa Board of Psychologists and include years of supervision. Psychologists first complete several steps to get a provisional license. After they complete a minimum of two years of supervised practice, they become eligible to apply for an independent license.
At the same time, Huppert said the organization acknowledges there's a shortage of prescribers in Iowa and rural areas in particular need better access. It's not clear, but it's possible, that by merely increasing the number of prescribers, no matter their location, people in rural areas could see increased access, she said.
Huppert added it takes about two to three months to see a psychiatrist in Polk County. In rural areas, it's more difficult as patients may have to travel or are using telehealth to talk by phone or video to a psychiatrist who can prescribe. The psychiatrist could be located anywhere in the country.
Lonning said she doesn't know how many psychologists will apply and not all of them will want to. The process is time-consuming but they've made it possible for psychologists to complete it while they continue to work.
"I think that psychologists that want to do this will be able to complete the process," she said.
She added it may not affect folks in Iowa City, or other cities with a higher concentration of psychiatrists, because of the lack of support from the psychiatry community.
"Psychologists who do this are going to go through a lot of steps," she said. "We've designed this to ensure they absolutely will be safe."

Motorcycle Racing News Aprilia: Kyalami Circuit Not Congenial
Aprilia: Kyalami Circuit Not Congenial
Just days after their splendid double win at Monza, the Aprilia Alitalia Racing Team have arrived at Kyalami for the South African Round of the 2010 World Superbike championship.
The Kyalami motorcycle racing track couldn't be more different to the ultra-fast Monza layout, so a major commitment will be called for to confirm the competitiveness shown at Monza by Max Biaggi and Leon Camier on their Aprilia RSV4 machines.
Last year, on the RSV4's first racing appearance at the circuit, Max Biaggi scored two fifth places on the motorcycle but was always able to run pretty close to the top positions.
Max Biaggi says: "We leave for Kyalami satisfied with the Monza weekend but ready to begin to look for good results again," confirmed Max Biaggi. "It was right to celebrate Monza as a great victory but it would be stupid to create false illusions. This year we're going to have to fight at every race, for each and every point."
"We are up at the top and we are not hiding our cards, but all the top 5 or 6 riders are very close and the first Italian round of the season was a demonstration of this."
"Kyalami is not a circuit that is congenial for us, its characteristics and the rough surface might not work in our favour. The right set-up for the race will be fundamental ".
The Kyalami race will also see the presence of the 25 year-old current South African Superbike champion Sheridan Morais on a Team Emtek Aprilia RSV4, with the support of the KMSA importers and the Aprilia Racing Test Team.
Morais, the 3rd Aprilia rider, won the last round of the domestic Superbike championship and currently lies second in the standings.

A number of radical Dutch Muslims are on the run after the failed attack in Belgium and the terrorist attack in France. In the Hague alone 11 Muslims have fled. Four of them were arrested in Turkey. They were on their way to Syria.
A former PVV politician from The Hague who once helped produce a film depicting Islam as evil and extreme, Arnoud van Doorn sings a totally different tune these days.
Arnoud van Doorn, Hague council member, party leader for the Islāmic Partij van de Eenheid (PvdE), and former PVV member, was sentenced to a 1,000 euro fine for selling weed to minors, leaking confidential information, and possession of a weapon. He also heard a conditional community service sentence of 40 hours against him.
The Hague City Council member, Arnoud van Doorn (Partij van de Eenheid) is facing 6 month imprisonment with 2 months probation for selling weed to minors, leaking confidential information, and possession of a weapon.
In spite of internal arguments in the past years, the PVV is almost the largest party in the City of The Hague.

Author: Kathryn Gaw
LinkedIn has had an interesting year. In February, the firm reported its worst trading day ever, wiping $11 billion off the company's value , and soon after the company reported an annual loss of $166 million. But then just last month, Microsoft surprised everyone by announcing plans to acquire the social networking site for a massive $26 billion . When the company went public in 2012, it was valued at a relatively modest $8.6 billion, so according to Microsoft, the company's value has more than tripled in just four years – yet the stock price tells a different story .
LinkedIn shares have been incredibly volatile over the years, and 2016 may be the most volatile year yet. February's stock drop scared away many investors who have lost faith in the company's ability to deliver consistent returns. So why is Microsoft prepared to pay so much for it?
The hidden value of LinkedIn
Despite its stock volatility, LinkedIn is still remarkably popular among professionals across the world. In the first quarter of 2016, there were more than 433 million registered users on the site , placing it on a par with Instagram (just under 500 million users ), and dwarfing Twitter's 310 million users . However, unlike other social media behemoths, LinkedIn has never really capitalized on its huge database. On the contrary, it has been besieged with security concerns and usability complaints . While these issues have certainly been contributing factors in the company's stock price, they are also easily fixed – with the right expertise, of course.
Microsoft certainly has the expertise. There have been rumors that Microsoft plans to embed LinkedIn with Skype , cornering the market in video conferencing once and for all. LinkedIn also has a vast archive of original, shareable content which could easily be used to drive up SEO hits and further increase its user base. It also has a lot of potential when it comes to customer retention – while Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat each appeal to particular age groups; LinkedIn is for everyone. It is used by professionals, job-seekers, employers, and students in just about every country in the world, and once they join, users are unlikely to 'age out' of the network – there will always be a reason to keep your LinkedIn account, whether you are networking, hiring or simply snooping on your colleagues.
Under Microsoft's guidance, LinkedIn has the potential to grow into a hugely profitable, highly effective company which more than justifies its $26 billion price tag.
But in the meantime, the volatility continues. LinkedIn has still not recovered from February's stock drop, and despite a boost from Microsoft's acquisition plans, it is still a long way off the highs of September 2013, February 2015 and November 2015.
At the time of writing, there has been no timeline set for the Microsoft takeover, but the company has confirmed that it will pay for the deal by issuing new debt. Debt issuance is a lengthy process which adds months onto the acquisition timeline, meaning that a full takeover is unlikely to happen this year. But it will happen, and when it does there is a good chance that we will see LinkedIn stock soar to new highs, and finally achieve some stability.
In the meantime, stock options can be picked up for less than $200 apiece on the New York Stock Exchange (NASDAQ), offering a bargain entry into a company which has already proved that it has huge growth potential.
And that's why now is a great time to buy LinkedIn shares.

Q: Extract date and time from text in GoogleSheets I am trying to separate the date and time alone from the text Reported By:  Name 1   16/2/2021 9:44 AM.
Currently, I am using the following formula:
=REGEXEXTRACT(A19,"(?:.+)(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4})")

However, the output is 6/2/2021 instead of 16/2/2021.
I also haven't figured out the time part yet.

A: Option 01 Extract Date and time Only
Try this in C2, to get time and date extracted to their cells in one go, take a look at This Sheet.
={INDEX(SPLIT(TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A2," ../.+"))," "),1,1),CONCATENATE(TEXT(INDEX(SPLIT(TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A2," ../.+"))," "),1,2),"h:mm")," ",INDEX(SPLIT(TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A2," ../.+"))," "),1,3))}

Explanation
1 -  in this formula we are matching with REGEXEXTRACT the first slash / and 2 .. charchters before and every thing after the slash .+ to grab 16/2/2021  9:44  AM
2 - TRIM any additional spaces this way we get the correct output even with diffrent spacing.
3 - SPLIT using " " as a delimiter.
4 - INDEX to get the column for each column resulted from the SPLIT function in the Array {} {INDEX(SPLIT(output,,1,1),INDEX(SPLIT(output,,1,2),INDEX(SPLIT(output,,1,3)} Like this,1,1 Row 1 Column1 to get 16/2/2021.
5 - Format the output of column 2 of the SPLIT function which is the "time" 9:44 AM in this example with the TEXT function and set the format "h:mm".
Option 02  Extract text, time, and date all at once.
Paste this in B3.
={TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A3),TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A3," ../.+")),"")),INDEX(SPLIT(TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A3," ../.+"))," "),1,1),CONCATENATE(TEXT(INDEX(SPLIT(TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A3," ../.+"))," "),1,2),"h:mm")," ",INDEX(SPLIT(TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A3," ../.+"))," "),1,3))}

Explanation
Option 02 is the same as Option 01 but we add this TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(TRIM(A3),TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A3," ../.+")),"")) in the start of the Array {} to get the text, we basically SUBSTITUTE the outputed date from this formula TRIM(REGEXEXTRACT(A3," ../.+")) with "" nothing.

A: Answer
The following formula should have the result you desire:
=REGEXEXTRACT(A19,"\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}")

Alternatively, this formula also returns the time:
=REGEXEXTRACT(A19,"\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4} \d{1,2}:\d{2} [A|P]M")

And this one puts the date and time in separate cells:
={REGEXEXTRACT(A19,"\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}"),REGEXEXTRACT(A19,"\d{1,2}:\d{2} [A|P]M")}

Explanation
In the formula you were using, the non-capturing group that begins your regular expression contains .+. The . matches any character and the + means that it looks for one or more matches. The + quantifier is greedy, meaning that it will match as much as possible.
As the regular expression begins processing, it starts matching every character from the beginning of the string, eventually matching the entire string. Then the regex begins trying to match (\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}) but it can't because the entire string has already been matched. However, the regex notices it can backtrack with the .+, which starts giving up characters from the end of the string backwards. Eventually (\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}) becomes fully matched when regex tries 6/2/2021. Because (\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4}) has been fully matched, .+ stops giving up its characters because of its greedy behaviour.
In short, because .+ can match Reported By: Name 1 1 (including the first digit of the date), it will.
The new regex I provide doesn't bother with the non-capturing group and so it doesn't have that issue. If a non-capturing group is necessary for some reason, you could use the following instead, adding a space in the non-capturing group.
=REGEXEXTRACT(A19,"(?:.+ )(\d{1,2}/\d{1,2}/\d{4})")

John Lennon's Stolen Belongings Retrieved by German Police in Berlin
© Chris Dorney | Dreamstime
According to The Associated Press, around 100 items which previously belonged to John Lennon have been retrieved by German police in Berlin.
The items were brought to light three years ago after they were reportedly stolen from the New York home of Lennon's widow Yoko Ono in 2006. Confiscated from an auction house in Berlin, the items include two pairs of Lennon's signature round glasses, a cigarette case, several diaries, a handwritten music score, a recording of a 1956 Beatles concert, and more.

The investigation is ongoing, but Berlin police have arrested a man in his 50s in relation to the crime, while a second suspect remains in Turkey.
Beatles memorabilia has always been coveted, but as Rolling Stone points out, Lennon's belongings in particular are some of the most desired and expensive items in the rock world, with a lock of his hair selling for $35,000 last year.

Cat Got Your Tongue?
(11/1/2002) If the Internet community learned anything from the Bonsai Kitten farce, it's that you don't pick on cats without earning the wrath of those who love the cute furry pets.
SAMPLE CHAIN LETTER TEXT
--CONTROVERSIAL CAT EXPERIMENTS LEADS A BIG LAWSUIT:
This is some $1.68 million study - that is sure to make you mad and sad at the same time....
I believe that there is some benefit to be gained by using animals, including cats, in certain scientific studies, as long as they are never subjected to pain, suffering and unnecessary death. It seems that this "study" I'll be sharing with you today is totally improper. See what you think....
It was reported last month that The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the federal National Institutes of Health (NIH) for concealing information about a controversial experiment involving live cats at Ohio State University (OSU) in Columbus.
It seems that many experiments, funded by the NIH and conducted by Ohio State University veterinarian, Michael Podell, include the following:
--1. Podell giving cats methamphetamine ("speed"), a powerful drug of abuse.
--2. Podell infecting cats with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV).
--3. Podell subjecting cats to spinal taps and other stressful and painful procedures before killing them to examine their brains.
These experiments were done in an attempt to create an "animal model" that would show the brain damage known to occur in humans who are both drug abusers and infected with the AIDS virus.
PCRM is suing NIH under the Freedom of Information Act for withholding many of the details of Podell's work. They want to know his justification for choosing cats for his experiment, his behavioral testing procedures, and his plans for removing the cats' brains.
When the PCRM received a copy of Podell's grant application for review earlier in the year, they found that the NIH had removed large portions of pertinent data.
PCRM believes that this is improper research. They argue that research of the effects of amphetamines and HIV would be more properly done in HIV-positive individuals already being treated with amphetamines for depression and in HIV-positive drug abusers.
They stated, "Cats cannot show language deficits, subtle learning problems, hallucinations, delusions, or other neurological effects that are known to occur in drug abusers. Moreover, the cat virus, FIV, is very different from HIV, and cat results would not apply to people."
Many critics, including neurologists, AIDS activist organizations, and physicians specializing in drug addiction, have spoken out about the study's serious scientific shortcomings.
But in spite of all the outcry, the dozens of protests by a Columbus animal protection group, and national media coverage, the division of the NIH called the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), recently granted Podell the second installment on his five-year, $1.68-million study! Yes that's $1.68 million!
I just thought you might like to know about some of the goings on with the so called scientific cat experiments. Can you imagine this happening to one of your babies?
What's this guy, a vet, even, going to do to them next?
I'm going to write a letter to the NIH and Dr. Podell right away, how about you?
END CHAIN LETTER TEXT
The basic claims in this chain, which started circulating in January, 2002, are true. Dr. Michael Podell was an Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences and Center for Retrovirus Research, College of Veterinary Medicine at the Ohio State University. His FIV research provoked a great deal of protest from animal rights and AIDS research advocates alike. Podell abandoned the study and the University after several death threats and is now a veterinarian in private practice.

Career best for Amir as Khulna Tigers book spot in BPL final
Six-for for Pakistan fast bowler
Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir welcomed career-best figures, as the Khulna Tigers beat the Rajshahi Royals by 27 runs in the Bangladesh Premier League earlier this week.
The result secured the Tigers a berth in the 2019-20 BPL final, which will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka, on Friday. Their opposition will be confirmed later this week. Unibet have the Khulna Tigers priced at 1.85 to win the BPL.
Amir's haul of six for 17 included the key dismissals of Pakistan team-mate Shoaib Malik and West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell.
What Amir said
"When you are bowling under lights, you have to look for swing. I think I was hitting the right areas. I knew their openers were in good touch, so I thought if I could get both of them, we would have a good chance. It worked out. I think there was something for the bowlers, if you hit the right areas," said Amir.
"The wicket was giving you something. I wasn't trying too much, but just trying to hit the right areas. It always feels good. They give you confidence and you take momentum to the next game. It is good for me and the team. We have reached the final. I will try to keep this momentum in the final."
The 27-year-old Amir retired from Test cricket last year. His decade-long Test career missed five years due to a suspension for spot-fixing. He is still available to Pakistan's limited-overs squad – and is in contention for a berth at the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
"It has been an honour to represent Pakistan in the pinnacle and traditional format of the game, but I have decided to move away from the longer version so I can concentrate on white-ball cricket," he said at the time.
"Playing for Pakistan remains my ultimate desire and objective, and I will try my best to be in the best physical shape to contribute in the team's upcoming challenges, including the 2020 T20 World Cup.
"With the World Test Championship commencing shortly, and Pakistan boasting some very exciting young fast bowlers, it is appropriate that I call time in Test cricket so that the selectors can plan accordingly."

July 3-4, 2019
Tour Diary - July 3-4, 2019
July 3 ~
I'm heading to Hannover with two shows, one in a record shop and one in a club I've never been to. I typically play a place called Kulturpalast in Hannover but that's not on the schedule. This time it's Rocker. I've already been warned about the place from Emily and my itinerary says something to the effect of "don't be afraid to go wild." I'm a dude with an acoustic guitar, when Joe Strummer went acoustic it still wasn't "wild".
25 Music is a great record store that has an amazing selection and even has a life size cutout of Josh Homme from Queens of the Stoneage. I knew it was him because of the MotorAve guitar that the cutout is playing and I love MotorAve Guitars guitars.
Anyway. I set up in the area they have sectioned off for live performances, they bring me some snacks, I peruse the shelves and think about the nightmare of trying to travel with vinyl records and opt to buy nothing. It's something that absolutely sucks about modern car rentals as well - no cd player. I've got a couple of cds already and I don't have anything to listen to them on. And yet I'm traveling and selling cds. At some point this is going to be an issue, maybe that's today. I'm also selling USB keys with my albums on them but I haven't sold a single one. NOT ONE. Where do we go with this? I don't know.
There's about 10 people listening in the record store, I play busking style, no amp, no PA, no microphone. I love playing this way. It feels very pure and I can move about and not be tied down to one spot.
I get a decent response from everyone but one guy really loves it, buys a cd and turns out he's a radio dj from Salzburg. He's got a bunch of questions about where I'm going, any shows in the Salzburg area and tells me about his radio show. He's very nice and he tells me he's going to come to tonight's show.
Record stores can be tough because yeah, it's advertised but record stores don't tend to have a lot of customers anyway and they are invested in the stacks looking for whatever. It's not as dire as the scene in Spinal Tap but so much of that movie isn't even comedy, it's just real touring documentary with punchlines.
There's no money in the hat here.
I'm about 10 minutes away from where I'm playing tonight and have about 4 hours to kill. I don't really feel up to exploring as I will just have to come back here so I seek out a restaurant and there's a hamburger place right around the corner from Rocker - and it's packed!
I'm beginning to notice the area that I am in is the Red Light district of Hannover. There are many strip clubs and the advertisements are not just for stripping but for what services are also offered. I'm beginning to feel very bad for Emily and Tori coming to play this venue last week. They are pretty progressive and capable women but putting women who aren't working the Red Light district IN the Red Light district just doesn't seem right to me.
I sit down for a burger and open up the next Richard Bratigan book that I'm reading. The waitress is helping the table next to me, she is wearing yoga pants that are not completely opaque and I can see the tattoo on her left ass cheek. I catch myself staring inadvertently and quickly look away. Then she comes over to take my order, leans over in front of me and her top falls down and I can see her entire bra and all the way to her belly button. This restaurant is not part of the red light district but the service definitely feels it.
It's a breezy day and everyone is bustled up outside and I pull my hood up over the back of my neck and just lose myself in the book. It's near 30 minutes later that I get my hamburger. Now it's as good a hamburger as I've ever had in Germany. I'm going to say it's near as good as White Trash was in Berlin. I finish a few more chapters, eat my burger and am on my way.
The strip bar next to Rocker is called Titty Twister and has a sign out in front advertising for blow jobs. I'm not a prude but it is still a bit of a "whoah, what am I looking at?" Rocker is a tiny dive bar club that assembles the stage when they are having bands. It's a former Red Light venue that now is just a bar but still has all the interior charm of it's former owner/operators. There are red lights hanging over the bar and a bunch of American themed stuff like the front of a 1970's Chrysler complete with Texas license plate. They also have the original sign that was something like "Palais D'Amour" or something. I'm playing before a punk band tonight and they are called Jack Pott. There's a soundman, everything gets dialed in fairly quickly, I sound check and then sit around and wait until 9:30 set time.
Out on the street there's dudes hanging around waiting for the other clubs to open. That feels creepier than anything else, just these dudes lurking about sizing up everything that walks by. I go back in the club and talk to the bartender and soundman.
"I love having live music but it's so hard to get people to come see anyone unless it's a cover or tribute band and why do people want to see people pretending to be Motley Crue?" It's a good question and one I don't have the answer to. "We tried having a cover charge for the bands but then no one would come in, they'd just hang out on the street and listen and look in." I'm supposed to pass the hat here, when I start playing I am playing for 10 people and 4 of them are in the other band, 2 of them work here and I know 3 of the other 4. .
I rock it up, I make show. Everyone seems to like it. I get no money in the hat. But the guy from the radio show has come and brought two friends to see me. When I finish his friends want to get the hell out of this area and to a different bar. He and I talk for a few and we make vague plans for me to play in Salzburg this year or next year and I record a station ID for his show.
Jack Pott is ok. They make a good bit of melodic noise with some crazy keyboard flourishes. They get appropriately "wild" in their last song and then it's over. I'm sitting with the bartender and the soundman, they are both rolling their own cigarettes and chain smoking them. She has blonde hair, blue eyes and a black dress that you can see thru to her underwear in an intentionally sexy way. He...I don't remember what he was wearing. It was clothes like pants and a shirt. No one ever cares what a man is wearing unless it's ridiculous. She wants to buy my cd but she only has 6 euro in tips so far, we make a deal for a Rocker bar t-shirt and the euro. I haven't made anything here but I do have another shirt now so I can go one more day without doing laundry and that's not nothing.
It's a long drive home even though it isn't far.
It's July 4th but that means nothing here. I check the facebook and wonder if the orange turd is going ahead with the Red Square style Kim Yong parade and see it's happening. That juxtapositioned with concentration camps on the southern border, reports from the agency in charge saying that "reports of abuse and neglect are made up and sensationalized" and then two days later when it's reported, with pictures and multiple reports that no, it's not sensationalized and they are lying. Well, it's hard to be very ra ra USA today. And thinking back to the dickwad last week blasting me and defending the concentration camps and it's that thinking that has become normalized in the US. He's a guy that when he was recording in my studio, his thinking was "Bobbo is straight and white like me, it's ok for me to say homophobic and racist things in his presence and it will be ok." No it never is.
And we have to have that same conversation over and over again with assholes like him and it's exhausting. And it's exhausting to continue to fight for empathy. I have a few family members I have decided to not talk to anymore because of this. There was no point in me telling them I'm not talking to them, I'm just done trying to reach them. They should know better. They were raised better. They want to defend trump and all this shit that he has stirred up. Done.
And it's the 4th of July and I really just want to sit down and cry for my country for what it's become and what we have learned about our fellow citizens.
Instead I've been invited to a friend's house for a bbq. It's not a 4th of July bbq, it's just a Thursday bbq and that's alright with me.


I had the best time last Saturday and Sunday.
I spend time with my new stamping friends. God has truly blessed me with a group of amazing women who not only like stamping but embrace me and love me in so many ways. I am simply grateful!
I was wondering if they were going to like these projects or not. And to my joy they did!!
All these projects displayed different techniques done with the Big Shot Die-Cutting machine. Needless to say I like this machine a LOT! Check these out!!
I will show a few more projects tomorrow.
It is such a joy t share these with these amazing women. I appreciate each of them.
Your projects are beautiful! That bird card, with the embossed panel also, and the cutest glitter bird... Adorable! I LOVE the bag and it's flower and double bow, too, LOVE THAT! The last card is so cute with the embossed panel and then the pop of smoothness and color. Fabulous projects; thanks so much for sharing!!! LOVE!
The treat bag is my favorite! It looks so elegant and pretty. It's as if the bag itself is the present with no need to peek inside! Glitter is popular this year- wooo hoooo!!!
