Tsunis, Esq., Founder, Chairman and CEO of Chartwell Hotels, Chairman of the Battery Park City Authority and Chairman of the Board of Nassau University Medical Center.

The evening's program began with HLA President, Chrisanthy N. Zapantis-Melis, Esq., inviting the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard for the presentation of colors, followed by the U.S. National Anthem sung passionately by American Tenor Christopher Macchio, and the Greek National Anthem sung in unison by the Gala's attendees.
Archbishop Elpidophoros gave the opening prayer and addressed the audience, speaking on the significant role attorneys have played in society during biblical times and in our present day. The Gala included a scholarship presentation, an awards presentation, formal dinner, traditional Greek dancing, and a silent auction.
Assemblymember Aravella Simotas, Honoree George Tsunis, State Senator Andrew Gounardes, Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, & Chrisanthy N. Zapantis-Melis
The HLA was honored to have U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (New Jersey), a long-time philhellene introduce his friend, and honoree George Tsunis. He spoke to his accomplishments as "having started out as the son of Greek immigrants with a father working in a restaurant. He became a lawyer and served on the Senate Banking Committee as a staffer. He started one of the most significant hospitality chains on the east coast, and at the end of the day is now designing the future of Battery Park and a lot of NYC, and that speaks volumes of who George is, in addition to this philanthropic work."
Archbishop Elpidophoros with HLA Officers & Board
George Tsunis, the son of James and Eleni Tsunis, received his BA from NYU, and a JD from St. John's University School of Law. Mr. Tsunis is an attorney, real estate developer, and public policy advisor, with an interest in economic and foreign affairs.

Additionally, Mr. Tsunis is Director of the New York Convention Center's (Jacob Javits Center) Operating Committee and Director of the New York Convention Center's Development Committee.

U.S. Senator Bob Menendez
"Mr. Tsunis' illustrious contributions to the legal profession, in business, public service, and philanthropy, made him the perfect candidate to receive this year's Hellenic Lawyers Association Distinguished Service Award," said President, Ms. Zapantis-Melis. "We are thankful that Mr. Tsunis became the evening's Grand Benefactor, pledged support for the scholarship recipients, and graciously offered to play an integral role in the HLA's future," added Ms. Zapantis-Melis.

The scholarships were presented by John Zervopoulos, Esq. and Christina Gotsis, Esq. who additionally pledged support and encouragement to the law students.

Deane School of Law at Hofstra University).
HLA Scholarship Sponsors & Recipients
Asked by NEO what this honor from HLA means to him, Goerge Tsunis replied that he was "Humbled. Absolutely humbled. My parents like many others came here a generation ago. They fled poverty. They fled war. They came to this country in search of a better life. They were so proud I became an attorney. My mother always says I was able to educate all three of my children. What a powerful degree that of a lawyer is – to be a skillful, artful, powerful advocate for change, for justice, and in the pursuit of justice. These are things that I learned not only as an American of Hellenic descent at my parents' table, but also things that were taught to me in law school, and have made me appreciate that all of us need to continue to work together to right that historic wrong. For me, my advocacy has always been Cyprus and the Ecumenical Patriarchate."
Hon. Nicholas G. Garaufis of the US District Court – Eastern District of NY, Gala Benefactor George Stamboulidis, HLA President Chrisanthy Zapantis-Melis
The Hellenic Lawyers Association was founded with the mission of connecting lawyers of Greek descent through networking and professional development opportunities. To date, they have over 800 members in the community including: judges, attorneys, and law students. The HLA sponsors several Continuing Legal Education seminars throughout the year. The organization also sponsors or participates in various events throughout the year, beginning in January with the Traditional Cutting of the Vasilopita at the Holy Trinity Cathedral, followed by the HLA Kick-off Party, and participation in the Greek Independence Day Parade on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Each spring, the HLA honors distinguished members of the judiciary at the HLA Judiciary Night. The HLA wraps up the year hosting a Christmas Party.
HLA Boardmember Despina Keegan & Georgia Tsoucalas -Argyrople
One of the HLA's goals is to broaden outreach and become the ultimate resource for our community when it is in need of legal assistance. The HLA proudly supports and co-sponsors events with other Hellenic professional organizations which provide professionals in the Greek-American community a way to come together and network. Additional information and Membership applications are available online at hlany.org.


Westworld, HBO's science fiction series based on the 1973 Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park) film of the same name, has taken viewers into a world where anything you desire can be yours. If you haven't had a chance to catch Season One, now's your chance. Available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Westworld promises a ride you will never forget.
Westworld is run by Dr. Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins; Thor: Ragnarok), who, along with partner Bernard Lowe (Jeffrey Wright; The Hunger Games) have created a theme park where you can have your every wish and desire come to life and live out your fantasies in the days of the Old West. The lifelike animatronics are there to cater to your needs, and there are no limits to what you can do. However, at some point, even those with artificial intelligence begin to see that they aren't treated fairly and, as we know from other tales of AI rising up, sometimes the things we create for our convenience/pleasure can turn out to be our downfall.
The world of Westworld is populated by an array of very complex characters including a frontier woman Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood; Once and Again), a ruthless man in black (Ed Harris; Run All Night), a madame that is more than meets the eye (Thandie Newton; Mission Impossible 2), and a "new to town" settler (James Marsden; X-men).
With the reimagining of this property, producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have tried to answer the age-old question, "What makes us human?". They have wrapped this high power concept into a show fraught with corporate greed/espionage, rogue robots and corrupt humans that all takes place in a futuristic world which contains what amounts to a sick/twisted adult Disney Frontierland-like theme park.
To coin a phrase from another high profile, Michael Crichton property, Westworld and its creator's "spared no expense" when recreating this property for the small screen. Shot on 35mm film, Westworld offers sets that you would normally see on a large scale Hollywood film. The frontier sets look like they are real and not just built quickly for a television production, while the interior hallways of the corporation follow the same architecture that one might find at a high-end Apple store. The score, produced by Ramin Djawadi (Game of Thrones), is hauntingly eerie and at the same time energetic at just the right moments creating a sense of unease while watching the series. But the real arenas where Westworld is at the top of their game is their cast and the script. With the combination of Jonathan Nolan, Hopkins, Harris, Wood, and Marsden, one would hope you would get a superbly acting and scripted show, but the truth is even better than that. With the combination of the amazing script by Nolan and the actors, you get probably one of the best-scripted shows to ever be put on television. The story is smart and evenly paced, while the actors truly make you believe you are a visitor to this amazing world.
4K UHD film releases are now pretty much the norm when a film is coming to the home entertainment market these days. However, Westworld Season 1 is the first time ever a tv show has been released on this new high definition platform, and Warner Bros even went the extra mile and added Dolby Vision to its remastering of the series. To put it mildly, the show looks amazing. The 2160p 1.78:1 aspect ratio of Westworld is a truly demo worth picture. The Westworld park literally jumps off the television and you feel like you are truly immersed in the show. Details are sharp and crisp, while blacks are spot on, and the HDR color spectrum with the combination of Dolby Vision is so lifelike you really feel like your television is a window to another world.
The first season of Westworld already had a top-notch DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack that I dare say sounded better than most films these days, but the addition of the Dolby Atmos soundtrack puts Westworld's audio presentation on another level. The addition of the height tracks provides great spacial depth to the presentation, making you feel like you are actually in a saloon or on the frontier.
About the Series - Producers and cast contemplate the ultimate question - "What if Westworld really existed?"
An Invitation to the Set - Executive Producers J.J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan, and Lisa Joy along with actors Jeffrey Wright and Evan Rachel Wood discuss the appeal of Westworld, what it means to "Live Without Limits", and the questions that the series asks of the audience.
The Big Moment - A look at key scenes from episodes of the show.
Welcome to Westworld - Executive Producers J.J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan, and Lisa Joy along with actors Thandie Newton, James Marsden and Evan Rachel Wood consider what a world of immersive fantasy means in terms of reality, humanity, and technology.
Realize the Dream: The First Week on the Set of Westworld - An eleven-minute look behind the scenes of this unique show.
Imagining the Main Title - A look behind the scenes into the opening title sequence of the show.
Reality of A.I.: Westworld - Executive Producers J.J. Abrams, Jonathan Nolan, and Lisa Joy along with actors Thandie Newton and Evan Rachel Wood discuss the complicated nature of AI and the existential threats it poses to the Westworld.
The Big Moment - Another look at key scenes from episodes of the show.
Gag Reel — A quick outtake reel from the filming of Season 1.
The Big Moment - A final look at key scenes from episodes of the show.
The Key to the Chords - A Look into the shows music by Ramin Djawadi as well as the piano that plays such a big part in the show.
Crafting the Narrative - Executive Producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy watch the final episode of Westworld and provide commentary on integral scenes; discussing the roles of memory, inner-monologues, mythology, along with the cast and crew that brought the episode to life.
With Westworld, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have created one of the greatest cinematic pieces to ever grace the television screen, providing more questions than answers about the age-old concept of being alive. One can only hope that Season 2 is up to the same pedigree when it comes out in 2018.

Global Traveler Magazine Announces 2014 Airline and Hotel Winners
December 2, 2014 by Carol Margolis 1 Comment
Global Traveler Magazine just announced the winners of the 2014 Airline and Hotel of the Year. Maybe a bit surprising to some, the top airline was United while the top hotel was Marriott.
Runner-up winners include Delta and Air Canada in the airline category. Hilton and Intercontinental Hotel Group were the runner-ups for hotels.
The reason I say the results may be surprising is that they determined winners from Global Traveler staff nominee selections rather than voting. Moreover, they have a strange rule: Once an airline or hotel is selected, they are ineligible to participate for three years. One has to wonder just how global this Global Traveler staff is. Do they ever have opportunities to travel outside the States? No offense to any of the winners but this may be why they are all U.S.-based firms.
Compare these results to Global Traveler's 2014 GT Reader Survey awards. Unlike the previous questionable voting, these awards were based on 26,000 reader entries over the first eight months of the year. Etihad Airways won as airline of the year over 10-year winner Singapore Airlines while Westin (international) and Hilton (domestic) were some of the leading hotel winners.
Global Traveler also has awards for various regions. For example, Air Canada and IHG were the winners in North America but somehow, they were only good enough to be runner-ups in their own internal GT selections.
The magazine presented dozens of Reader Survey awards in dozens of categories, too many to list here. However, for the interested or curious, the entire list is available online.
02nz says:
A lot of the rankings are hard to take seriously. Best airline in Europe – TAP Portugal! Best business class seat design – Cathay Pacific is nowhere to be seen even though it has arguably the best long-haul business class seat in the business, and has it in the vast majority of its long-haul aircraft. Best airline in Central/South Asia – Air India. Granted the competition there isn't intense but to put Air India ahead of Jet Airways strains credibility (and Kazakhstan's Air Astana is another contender that isn't even included).

Lotus Cars Celebrates 75th Anniversary In 2023
Lotus celebrates 75 years of adding lightness.
Lotus is going through a major comeback. Ever since Geely took ownership, the British sportscar company has been able to find its footing. It started with the all-electric Evija, then came the fan-pleasing Emira and finally the Eletre SUV.
All this success is worthy of celebrating. Luckily, the boys in Hethel have a reason to party – it's Lotus' 75th anniversary this year.
They haven't yet announced what's in store for 2023, but before the year began, the company revealed a 75th anniversary graphic to accompany the events and announcements that will be made in the next 12 months.
Here's the press release with more.
In 1948 a passionate young British designer and engineer called Colin Chapman built his first car, a modified Austin 7. Work was carried out in his spare time in the lock-up garage belonging to his girlfriend Hazel's parents, behind their house in Hornsey, London. He called his car the Mark I and entered it into local trials. Different models followed, each an improvement on the one before, and within four years it became a business that he and Hazel called Lotus.
In 2023 – exactly 75 years later – Lotus will be celebrating this significant milestone with a number of exciting global events and initiatives. They will look back over seven and a half decades of innovation and success which have unquestionably helped shape the motoring and motorsport landscapes of today, and which have created some of the world's most renowned and loved cars.
Celebrations will also look forward to what the fourth quarter of the company's first century will look like, as Lotus continues its transformation from a UK sports car company to a global performance car business and brand.
To launch this very special year before it begins, Lotus has unveiled distinctive and striking 75th anniversary branding that will be seen in multiple environments over the next 12 months.
Matt Windle, Group Vice-President and Managing Director of Lotus Cars, commented: "Lotus of 2023 is a world away from a garage in north London, thanks to the billions being invested in our company on product development, an electrified future and more. We've come a long way since moving to our iconic home in Norfolk in 1966. Today we have engineering facilities in the UK, Germany and China; design studios in Hethel, Coventry and Shanghai; and new world-class manufacturing bases in Norfolk and China. It's at the last of these that assembly of the first Lotus lifestyle car – the Eletre Hyper-SUV – begins later this month."
He added: "The pioneering spirit and commitment of Colin and Hazel Chapman is alive and kicking in Lotus today, and we will be celebrating our 75th anniversary in style – paying tribute to the past and looking ahead to the future as we approach our first century."

Ángel Di María a tactical schemer focused more on structure than star quality | Jonathan Wilson
The Argentinian has often been underappreciated but he is the man who makes PSG's bigger names tick and will be crucial in Sunday's Champions League final
The critical moment of Lionel Messi's international career, perhaps, came a little after 1.30pm on a Saturday afternoon in Brasília. Argentina led Belgium 1-0 in their 2014 World Cup quarter‑final. They were in control, playing well. The forward line, as usual, felt a mismatch of extremely talented but not particularly complementary players, but with a solid and well-balanced midfield, it didn't really seem to matter. Then Ángel Di María pulled his hamstring.
Di María had a vital role in Alejandro Sabella's side. Javier Mascherano mopped up in front of the back four. Lucas Biglia scuttled around alongside him. And to the left of the three Di María shuttled to the forward line, the vital link between two otherwise disparate units. His role wasn't glamorous. He was easily overlooked. But once he was gone, his importance became obvious. Enzo Pérez, a far more defensive presence, replaced him. Argentina won the game and went on to reach the final, but in the five hours of Football they played at that World Cup after Di María's injury, they didn't score another goal.

What Was The First Anime Ever
The History Of Animes Journey To America
Katsudou Shashin (1907) FIRST ANIME EVER
Anime has taken the world by storm. The abundance of shows and films is matched only by how easy it is to watch your favorite anime. But, how did this export from Japan become such a huge phenomenon in America? Which shows and films paved the way for anime to become the empire it is today?
Claymore Danzai No Hana
Claymore is one of the most underappreciated anime of all time, featuring a strong premise and riveting cast of characters. The battles in this show are awe-inspiring as well, although some fans feel the ending was bungled since it veered off into an original story instead of stalling to let the manga go ahead.
Regardless, its music is pretty great, and the ending theme of Danzai no Hana is especially excellent. Given how underrated Claymore is, more anime lovers should check out this incredible series and its amazing ending song.
Kyoikuotogimanga Usagi To Kame
English Title: The Hare and the TortoiseYear founded: 1924
The Hare and the Tortoise is a six minute short animated film based on the classic story that is named after. Dating back to 1924, it is one of the first animations to feature the story of the Hare and Tortoise showing the slow and steady tortoise beating the boastful hare in a race.
The art of the film features a simple technique using only lines and features unique backgrounds that look like theyre from another country rather than the traditional landscapes used in old Japanese folk tales. The film is one of Sanae Yamamotos earliest works and was produced by Seitaro Kitayama, Yamamotos teacher and the creator of another early anime, Urashima Tar.

Momotaro's Sea Eagles As Propaganda
The Japanese government used Momotaro as the hero because that story was and continues to be as well-known to Japanese citizens as "The Three Little Pigs" is to Americans. In the film, Momotaro and the animals were cute and already known as heroic characters, and the "pretty characters and comical battle scenes enabled Japanese citizens to watch a war movie without hesitation". In other words, the film was entertaining to the masses. In addition, the original story has Momotaro and his companions traveling to a demon-inhabited island, which this film replaced with the American-infested Hawaii, creating an easy link between foreigners and evil creatures.
Between 1942 and 1945, "national policy films" took up a large percentage of the Japanese cinema.Momotaro's Sea Eagles was an extremely successful example of this it was especially popular among young children. The 37-minute film was so popular, in fact, that Seo made a 74-minute sequel, Momotaro's Divine Sea Warriors, which debuted in 1945. The cute and entertaining movie in which there are no shown fatalities gave the war a soft, righteous cause feel to the citizens in the audience.
The 1980s: The Golden Age
The 1980s are considered the golden age of anime and saw a huge explosion of genres and interest. Many factors contributed to this, including the introduction of VHS and children who were inspired by Tetsuwan Atom twenty years ago, growing up and becoming nostalgic for their favorite shows.
Mamoru Oshii directed Urusei Yatsura in 1981 for Studio Pierrot, founded just two years later by former animators of Tatsunoko Pro and Mushi Pro. The series based on Rumiko Takahashis manga about a lecherous human, the playful alien he accidentally becomes engaged to, and their friends became a huge hit and introduced the now practically required practice of promoting pop songs via the shows opening and ending sequences.
The sports anime formula was codified in 1983 with Captain Tsubasa by Tsuchida Pro, a show about soccer , teamwork, and friendship. It inspired a generation of soccer players and manga writers and set the standard for anime sports moves of ever-increasing coolness and improbability.
On the left is a Urusei from Urusei Yatsura, and on the right is the cover for Captain Tsubasa.
The biggest news of 1984 was Kaze no Tani no Nausicaä . Produced by Isao Takahata and directed and written by Hayao Miyazaki , it was the first film of what would become the prestigious Studio Ghibli. That same year, Daicon Films was founded in 1984 by a group of university students. Never heard of Daicon? Thats because they changed their name the next year to Gainax.

The Trouble New Millenium
At the same time, anime was expanding far beyond Japans borders, one major upheaval after another through the 2000s threatened its growth and led many to speculate if it even had a future.
The first was the implosion of Japans bubble economy in the Nineties, which had injured the industry during that time but continued to affect things into the new millennium. Contracting budgets and declining industry revenues meant a turn towards things that were guaranteed to sell edgy and experimental work took a backseat. Titles based on existing manga and light novel properties that were guaranteed hits came all the more to the fore. Shows that tapped into the lightweight moé aesthetic became dependable if also disposable money-makers. Attention shifted from OAVs to TV productions which stood far more of a chance of recouping costs. Conditions in the animation industry itself, never good to begin with, worsened: more than 90% of the animators who enter the field now leave after less than three years of working brutal hours for meager pay.
Why You Should Be Hyped
Weve been seeing an influx of sports anime over the past few years and a lot of that can be credited to the success of hit volleyball anime Haiykuu! There has been plenty of popular baseball and basketball anime. Weve even received a handful of good boxing anime, Megalo Box being the most recent popular boxing series. But one sport that is non-existent in the world of sports anime is hockey.
Yes, thats right. PuraOre! Pride of Orange is the very first hockey anime. In fact, if you google hockey anime right now, PuraOre! Pride of Orange will be the first and only suggestion that pops up. The series also released a special short video of the members of the Dream Monkeys hockey team singing and dancing to their hype song.

Toonami's First 10 Anime
The advent of Cartoon Networks Toonami block made serious strides in making anime a mainstream commodity in North America.
Its been truly remarkable to watch how anime has evolved from a niche interest in America to one of the most popular forms of content, with several streaming services devoted to this form of animated content. Back during the late 90s, there were barely any means to encounter anime in America, but the advent of Cartoon Networks new Toonami block made serious strides to change this.

Mahou Shoujo Nariagirls 382
Bad anime doesn't feel quite as empty if it seems that the artists at least tried to create something decent. The same can't be said for Mahou Shoujo? NariaGirls, which feels like somebody just phoned in with the bare minimum required to justify their paycheck.
The plot is as simple as can be, and yet the execution is so bad that the entire structure falls upon itself. The idea of three girls getting the power of magic to combat evil seems extremely formulaic and hard to mess up, but Mahou Shoujo? NariaGirls somehow managed to do it.
How Did You Get Into Cosplay And What Was Your First
I used to love the lolita style, the elegant and feminine Japanese street style of clothing. I was wondering where I could find others like me who were into that style of clothes, and I was advised to go to a festival.
That's where I met the cosplayers for the first time. I was immediately enchanted and right then, I decided I had to do cosplay too. By the way, my first cosplay was a take on Sasha from Attack of the Titan. I chose her mainly because it was a character I didn't need to wear a wig for, as my hair was very similar to hers!
Also, I simply love her costume and thought it was very beautiful, resembling a jockey outfit, which I was initially attracted to as I love horses very much.

High School Of The Dead is an Ecchi series. But if you watch it without looking up, youre bound to be disappointed within the first few episodes.
Why? This is also a horror series that takes every chance it gets to shove fan service down your throat.
And thats EVEN during a scene where zombies are trying to feed on the main characters.
I mean its not like the zombies are gonna get a kick out of the fan-service and hot girls. Or constant booty
Its a bit much to deal with.
Take away the distractions and this anime could have been better. But it dragged down the quality too much for me.
Fate Extra: Last Encore
I cant even believe this is a FATE series. It feels like since Fate Zero, the fate series has been slightly going down hill.
Fate Apocrypha is the best one since Fate Stay Night.
Fate Extra on the other hand felt like the writers didnt know where they wanted to take it, or at what pace they wanted to move the plot forward.
It was all over the place .
Fate Extra was so bad I almost lost hope for FATE as a franchise.

Oldest Anime Ever Created
Japanese anime traces its roots back to the start of the 20th century as the Japanese attempted to modernize the entire country. Although historians cant pinpoint an exact date, 1917 is often cited as a key year in the development of Japanese animation. In fact, the oldest existing anime film was proved to have been produced in 1917.
Unfortunately, due to the Great Kant earthquake of 1923, most of the first anime was destroyed or lost. However, a few old films have turned up in recent years and were digitally restored. All of the anime on this list date back to the early 20th century and can be viewed on this website celebrating the 100th anniversary of Japanese animated film.
The 1960s The First Wave
The First Anime – 'KatsudÅ? Shashin' C.1907
Anime took off in both Japan and America around the same time. While animated shows had already found some popularity in Japan, the first major hit that made its way to the USA was Osamu Tezukas Astro Boy . The show premiered in Japan on January 1, 1963. In September of that year, NBC began showing an English adaptation of the series that was produced by Fred Ladd.
The success of Astro Boy led to a surge of anime shows being repurposed for American audiences. Fred Ladd also adapted another of Tezukas works, Kimba the White Lion, in 1966. Many have cited Kimba and its success as a potentially unintended inspiration for Disneys The Lion King.
Another series that Ladd reconfigured for American audiences was Gigantor . Gigantor hit American screens only a year after Astro Boy and found success with younger viewers. Much like Kimba, the adapted anime series inspired the next generation of Western animators and storytellers with fans pointing out that the popular film The Iron Giant is a clear tribute to Gigantor.
The final big anime hit of the 60s in America was Speed Racer in 1967. Producer Peter Fernandez, who had ghost-written American scripts for Astro Boy and Gigantor, took over adaptation duties and provided a number of voices for the characters.

Astro Boy Was The First Anime Superhero
The first series to be imported from Japan was the classic Astro Boy. Created in 1952 for manga readers by artist Osamu Tezuka, the animated version was released in syndication by NBC Enterprises a decade later for TV viewers. The show introduced a form of animation that felt different. Though sparse, like the shows Hanna-Barbera provided to the networks, Astro Boy also seemed smoother with fleshed-out characters.
The main difference the science-fiction cartoon had over others was its tragic backstory. A scientist created Astro Boy to look and sound like his dead son. Rescued from an evil circus by Professor Ochanomizu, who becomes his surrogate father, the android child with emotions decides to help protect his city from various threats. While there were four seasons of Astro Boy made in Japan, only the first two aired in the U.S.
The First Anime With Sound
Following this many steps were made to further develop and revolutionize film and anime.
The oldest anime with sound was Yamamoto Sanae, , from 1924, which was narrated live for the audience in theaters by Benshi, Japanese performers who provided live narration for silent films.
Benshi began doing voices for characters making them the first Seiyuu ,
Most of you probably wouldnt consider that an anime with sound. In which case the first anime with voice overs would be a lost film called Chikara to Onna no Yo no Naka, The World of Power and Women, released April 1933, by Kenzo Masaoka, its about, , a man with an incredibly large wife, who he accidentally tells about an affair hes having, while talking in his sleep.

Additional Facts About The First Anime Ever Made
In todays world, anime is now a very popular worldwide phenomenon. There are so many people who are fascinated by this type of entertainment and most people, especially teenagers, want to know what are other first animes ever created.
The answer to this question is the famous anime series from Japan that is called Macross, Sailor Moon and K-On.
K-On is the first anime to have been aired on television in the United States. There are many other types of anime, but these are some of the most well known and are the first anime that has been aired in America.
Star Blazers Ushered In The Genre Of Animated Space Opera
Normally, Battle of the Planets would be paired on a weekday afternoon schedule with another anime. One that, even today, is deemed the best in its genre of space opera. This was Space Battleship Yamato. It's known to North American audiences as Star Blazers.
The series introduced some new concepts to the English-speaking market. Even in its dubbed version, it included mature concepts related to war. Though not gory, it could be intense. The other thing it did was bring in an overreaching plot and storyline that had to be viewed in order. This is something anime would embrace in later years for its future programs.

Summerslam is bittersweet – it's one of the big shows I look forward to every year, but it also means that summer is on it's way out in a few weeks. This year's event has some great matches but some of the build up has been lacking, overshadowed by the brand split, with some matches being rematches. Here are my thoughts on the card with who I think will win (in the order I think the card should go).
I'm not sure why they're featuring a first of what's going to be a seven match series on a major PPV show. I bet this will be one of the matches on the two hour Pre-Show (EDIT: Yep, it is!). I mean, if they're not planning on having 50/50 booking until the seventh match, it makes no sense for WWE to make this a best of seven. Seeing how this match is featured at Summerslam, I see the crowd favourite getting the first win. Winner: Cesaro.
Here's another match that I think will be on the Pre-Show as well so the ladies can get a little more time to showcase their stuff (EDIT: Nope – it's on the main show, although this will still be under 10 min). Eva Marie is now suspended for 30 days for violating the WWE Wellness Policy. OK, so now this match won't be dedicated to getting heat on Eva Marie, so I wonder who will take her place. Because of Eva's screw up, I'm now picking in this edit that the faces win. Winners: Carmella, Becky Lynch and Naomi.
With the brand split, you'd think WWE would emphasize the IC belt, its titleholder, and a feud surrounding the belt, right? Wrong. The Miz has been berated, beaten, and put in the backseat over the last few weeks. His new opponent came from a battle royal and the audience knows nothing about Apollo Crews besides he came from NXT, is athletic, and smiles a lot. They've done NOTHING to build this match up. The only real build-up came during a commercial break from last Tuesday's Smackdown. What a waste. The only reason people would want to see Crews win is because The Miz is such a great heel that people can't stand him. There's no reason for a title change, but at least if there is, there's a reason for the feud. Winner: Apollo Crews.
I don't know why other people are excited about this match. I'm not. Look, Lesnar doesn't have a big arsenal of moves in the ring and he's gone for months on end. I hated when he was the champ because the belt was never defended (like The New Day, but they're always on TV). I know people like him going in and destroying people, but I could actually care less for him, and I've never cared for Orton. At least Orton is proficient in the ring. With that being said, I'm curious to see how Brooklyn will treat Lesnar with his UFC doping controversy. Coming out of a win from his UFC match, I just can't see Lesnar losing. Orton will fight with his head up (and on) another day. Winner: Brock Lesnar.
I'd book this match after Lesnar and Orton because a) it's a main championship, b) if we are to believe there's a women's wrestling revolution, it should be booked near the top of the card, and c) people will want to see a great wrestling match.
I'm still shocked that they gave away this match on Raw a couple of weeks ago when the brand split first started, but I understand the rationale behind it. I'm more excited to see these two face off in a pure wrestling match more than some other matches on the card. Although Banks has had the belt for a short time, I could see something happening where Charlotte could walk out with it again. Will Dana Brooke be at ringside and try stuff? (EDIT: I guess not as she's now banned from ringside). I could now see Nia Jax interfering possibly.
I'm hoping this match, alongside the Styles/Cena and the Banks/Charlotte matches to be among the top of the night. I think Rollins should have sold more shock seeing Balor as the Demon (or sigh, "Demon King") on Monday and Balor should have been more passionate as to what being the first Universal champion means to him. That being said, I think these two will tear the place down and hopefully there is no stupid booking or cheating. I want to see these two guys give it all in the ring. Rollins is made and will be one of the top guys on Raw and the company for years to come. It would make sense that they launch the new title for a new era with a new face – why else would they push Balor so big immediatley. Even if he does lose, he's still getting props from WWE as a huge superstar over the past month and in this match. Winner: Finn Balor to be the first ever WWE Universal Champion.
Out of all the matches on the card, no other match has been built up better than this match in my mind. Ziggler has shown more fire and determination in the past month than he has in years. I know that's also due to WWE Creative keeping him down, but his promos have been (sorry AJ) phenomenal, even with the odd flubbed line.
After writing this and thinking of the numerous situations that could occur during most of the matches, I'm actually more excited to watch this show than when I started writing this article earlier in the day. Let's hope WWE carries their "new era" labeling over to this PPV with booking that makes sense, some good surprises, letting the wrestlers wrestle, and having meaningful outcomes that push all their brands in the right direction.
I wonder if Samoa Joe may show up in some capacity if he loses the NXT championship on Saturday night. Make sure you check out NXT Takeover Brooklyn 2 as the NXT shows are great and last years actually topped the actual Summerslam event. I'd write about NXT and their shows, but I just don't have the time to include that on my site as well. If anyone out there would like to join the team, let me know via email.
EDIT: Joe lost but looked like he really got his jaw hurt last night. Let's see if he shows up tonight OR on Monday or Tuesday!

Europe's lagging energy efficiency standards are emerging as a key issue ahead of a February meeting of EU heads of state.
Several German ministries are discussing the country's positioning on the question ahead of next month's summit of EU leaders, including the Ministries of Environment, Energy, Finance and Foreign Affairs, and the Chancellor's Office.
"It really is a priority," a source in Berlin told EurActiv. "We've been discussing it internally and it is not an easy issue. In the end, it is the Chancellor who will want to say something."
The 4 February summit, scheduled by the Hungarian EU Presidency, will also discuss ways to complete the EU's internal market for energy. Issues on the table will include energy infrastructure, promoting innovative energy technologies and coordinating the EU's energy policy towards third countries.
EurActiv understands that EU diplomats in the Committee of Permanent Representatives tasked with preparing for the summit's agenda will be discussing the energy efficiency issue in Brussels today (19 January). If no agreement is reached, the subject could then be referred upwards.
"How best we can keep to the energy efficiency targets is one of the points where there is still some discussion needed at the Council if it's not solved before," an EU diplomat said. He added that there was presently no consensus on the best way to measure energy efficiency.
The EU is committed to a 20% reduction in energy consumption by 2020, a 20% increase in the share of renewables in the energy mix, and a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, all measured against 1990 levels.
But energy efficiency is the only one of the three targets which is not binding on EU member states. It is also the only one which the EU is currently on track to miss, European Commission officials have said.
So far, the EU is estimated to have achieved reductions in energy consumptions of between nine and 11%. But nearly €8 billion of an EU energy savings fund is still going unclaimed.
On 5 January, José Manuel Barroso, the European Commission president, signalled the importance of the issue when he said he would press EU member states for "concrete progress" to meet the 2020 targets.
Although he declined to publicly call for the efficiency targets to be made binding, he said the fact that they had not been, in his view, partly explained the current lack of progress.
But a senior diplomatic source in Rome told EurActiv that Italy would not support any move to set fixed European targets.
"We are in favour of national targets because we have applied a number of energy efficiency measures and the results have been quite good," he said. "We are confident that operating only with national measures would be a good way to reach the target."
The view from London was slightly more reserved. "We are focused on the measures we can take but the UK's approach to domestic targets is that we don't play numbers games," a British diplomat said.
She declined to share any positions that the UK might take in negotiations.
The EU target of consuming 20% less energy by 2020 was first presented by the European Commission in October 2006. It was meant to enhance Europe's energy security, help counter climate change, and make cost savings.
In 2007, an action plan for energy efficiency proposed measures to achieve a 1.5% savings per year until 2012. It estimated that energy savings of 27% and 30% could be made in residential and commercial buildings. Manufacturing industry energy use could be cut by a quarter, while a 26% reduction for transport was identified.
Overall, the energy savings were expected to allow Europe to reduce its CO2 emissions by 780 million tonnes and save €100 billion in fuel costs, all of which would far outweigh the initial outlay in an efficiency drive.
Member states committed to submitting national action plans to the EU executive under the Energy End-Use Efficiency and Energy Services Directive by June 2007. The plans were supposed to outline how each country meant to reach a 16% savings target of by 2016.
But progress has been slow and the Commission admits that on current trends, a far more modest saving of around 11% is more likely.


to kick start my dream.
When my daughter Candis was born, it put me through some major changes. Even though we had records out, deep down I knew that I wasn't a good enough musician to support a family. So when Bill Grogan (pictured between Vic Edwards and Frank Roberts) offered me a full-time job as the Music Director of CKY, I left the Jury.
Leaving the Jury was tough, it meant I was giving up on the dream that Rolly Blacquiere and I had dreamt about when we were just kids.
Surprisingly, when Randy Bachman heard that I'd left the Jury, he tried to recruit me for the Guess Who. When I told Randy that I wasn't near good enough to play with them, he said, "I can teach you the music, it's all that other stuff you do that The Guess Who needs." Although flattered, I'd already made my decision to give radio a shot.
Bumping along at CKY I surprisingly received a phone call from my old boss Jim Hilliard, the man who got me interested in radio in the first place. (pictured today with his wife, Barb) Jim was now the new program director of WFIL in Philly, and he wanted me to jump on a plane so we could talk about the possibility of my moving to Philadelphia. He wanted to hire me so that I could produce the same kind of promos that I used to do for him when he was the Program Director of CKY, and I was a part-time board op. After arriving in Philadelphia and filling out all the necessary paperwork at the radio station, we then jumped into Jim's candy apple red Caddy convertible and headed out for dinner with his wife, Barbara. The place they had chosen to eat was called Bookbinders, and the place was just jumpin' with lawyers who were all wearing their official uniforms. You know, navy blue pin-striped suits, matching vests, yellow or red striped power ties, and of course the regulatory red suspenders. However, they were no match for our table.
Jim was wearing a maroon colored Nehru suit and had a huge gold medallion dangling from his neck, his wife Barb was decked out in what can best be described as a toga. On her feet were white Roman sandals with straps that crisscrossed their way up to her knees. The baubles on her fingers were gold as were the bracelets that snaked their way from her wrists to her elbows and her golden hair which was piled high on her head was crowned with a gold tiara.
I was very excited about moving to Philly, but unfortunately, we soon found out that you can't just wander across the border without a work permit. The way you got one of those was by putting your name at the bottom of a very long list. When my name first went on that list, I was a part-time board-op in Winnipeg, and Jim was a Program Director in Philly. However, four years later when it finally rose to the top, Jim was the CEO of a radio group out of Indy, and I was a Station Manager in Toronto.
Meanwhile, after returning to Winnipeg, I began growing restless mostly because I was no longer learning anything. When all the Americans worked at the station, I learned something new every day, but not knowing what to do about it, suddenly fate intervened when I was returning an album to the control room. Just as I walked in, I happened to overhear our mid-day talent, George Dawes saying, "Thanks but no thanks" to someone on the phone. When I asked him about the call, he said that CKOM in Saskatoon was looking for a Program Director, but he wasn't interested. When I told him that I sure was, he called them right back for me and the next thing I knew I was on an airplane bound for Saskatoon where I became their brand new Program Director.
I was very excited about all of this, but I do have to admit that it did have a little hair on it. I was taking the first grandchild away from the doting grandparents on both sides, my wife Lana wasn't excited about leaving her new home, and I knew nothing about programming.
Interesting. I look forward to additional chapters in your life and career. My cousin, Bob Zens, was CKOM news director from 1988 until he retired about ten years later. He is a Saskatchewan native and still lives in Saskatoon.
Your cousin is 20 years after me Steve. I learned a lot in Saskatoon, unfortunately, most of it was what I'd never put up with ever again.

J. W. Norris (born 1862, date of death unknown) was a United States Navy sailor and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor.

Biography
Born in 1862 in England, Norris immigrated to the United States and joined the Navy from New York. By December 20, 1883, he was serving as a landsman on the . On that day, while Jamestown was at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, A. A. George fell overboard. Norris and another sailor, Ordinary Seaman Robert Augustus Sweeney, jumped into the water and rescued him. For this action, both Norris and Sweeney were awarded the Medal of Honor the next year, on October 18, 1884.

Norris's official Medal of Honor citation reads:
Serving on board the U.S.S. Jamestown, New York Navy Yard, 20 December 1883, Norris rescued from drowning A. A. George, who had fallen overboard.

Norris is one of the hundreds of Medal of Honor recipients who are considered "lost to history", as his place of burial and other biographical details are unknown. There are records of a sailor named John W. Norris who was born in March 1862, lived in Fall River, Massachusetts, and worked as a nurse before joining the U.S. Navy. This Norris enlisted at New York City on June 18, 1883, and was discharged in June 1886. It is uncertain if this John W. Norris is the same man as J. W. Norris the Medal of Honor recipient.

Give More Love by Ringo Starr
Album Reviews, Rock, UK
Beatles legend Ringo Starr returns with a brand new studio album Give More Love.
Ringo's impressive 19th solo album was recorded at his home studio in Los Angeles. The album features 10 new tracks and encompasses collaborations with a who's who of Ringo's A-List friends.
Throughout the record Starr calls upon the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Joe Walsh, Edgar Winter, Dave Stewart, Peter Frampton, Richard Marx and Steve Lukather, to name but a few.
One thing which is immediately apparent with Give More Love is that the record covers a lot of ground with songs spanning a vast musical landscape. The album's opening track "We're On The Road Again" is a straight up good old fashioned rock and roll number, packed with infectious hooks almost in the same vein as "Shake It Up", which appears later in the record.
As the album progresses Starr puts forward country-tinged Americana numbers like "Standing Still" and the lap steel guitar-infused "So Wrong For So Long", which was co-written with The Eurhythmics Dave Stewart.
The most surprising track on the record is "King of the Kingdom". The reggae-inflected number features some great Sax from Edgar Winter, and also segues a few bars of Bob Marley's "One Love". On the other hand, "Electricity" which features both Joe Walsh and Don Was is one of the standout tracks on the record, and gives the album a bit of blues/rock feel to it.
Give More Love closes with four bonus tracks "Back Off Boogaloo", "You Can't Fight Lightning", "Photograph" and "Don't Pass Me By". During the country fuelled latter, Starr takes the listener back to his Beatles days with a few bars of "Octopus's Garden".
All in all, Give More Love is a great all-around album for both music lovers and fans of The Beatles alike.
In October Starr will hit the road in the US with his All Starrs, the same beloved lineup he has performed with since 2012: Steve Lukather, Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette. The tour will include a residency at Las Vegas, NV at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. See www.ringostarr.com for full tour dates.
Give More Love by Ringo Starr is out now.

Wilson was born in Jackson, Tennessee. He was an All-American performer at Jackson Central-Merry High School in Jackson[1], as named by BlueChip Illustrated, Max Emfinger, SuperPrep, and recruiting analyst Tom Lemming. In addition, he was named to the Tennessee all-state team. Wilson was both a linebacker and running back at Jackson Central-Merry, rushing for 1,160 yards and 15 touchdowns in his senior season. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in three seasons in high school, two as a running back and one as a quarterback. In addition to football, he starred in track and basketball.[2]
College careerEdit
Wilson attended the University of Tennessee, and played for coach Phillip Fulmer's Tennessee Volunteers football team from 1995 to 1998.[3] He was a team captain on the 1998 Tennessee team[4] that won the National Championship in the Fiesta Bowl over Florida State[5] and back-to-back Southeastern Conference (SEC) championships in the 1997[6] and 1998 seasons[7]. Wilson was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American in 1998 after being a three-year starter for the Volunteers. Inspired by fellow Tennessean and track aficionado, Chad Deutsch of Memphis, Tennessee, Wilson was a leader both on and off the field, helping to develop linebackers Eric Westmoreland and Raynoch Thompson.[8]
Professional careerEdit
Wilson was drafted after his final year at Tennessee as the 31st pick in the first round of the 1999 NFL Draft and signed to the Denver Broncos due to the assistance of super agent Tank Black.[9]
Denver BroncosEdit
Wilson made his NFL debut against the Miami Dolphins.[10]
Wilson became the anchor of the Broncos' defense and earned five Pro Bowl selections. He was one of the fastest middle linebackers in the league and was very good in pass coverage. He passed the 100-tackle mark in five consecutive seasons, including 109 tackles (73 of which were solo)[11] in 2004 to rank second on the Broncos.[12] Wilson led the Broncos in tackles for the second consecutive year in 2003 with 128 tackles.[13]
On December 3, 2006, Wilson suffered a neck injury during a fake field goal attempt against the Seattle Seahawks during the Sunday Night Football game.[14] He was carted off the field and immediately taken to a hospital, but was cleared by the Denver Broncos to return the following week to help Denver try to make the playoffs.
The Denver Broncos signed many free agents during the 2007 offseason, such as running back Travis Henry[15] and quarterback Patrick Ramsey[16], resulting in some salary cap trouble. The Broncos attempted to trade Wilson to the New York Giants, but Wilson failed his physical and the trade talks died down.
Wilson was released by the Denver Broncos on April 13, 2007, due to injuries and salary cap problems.[17]
Free agency and retirementEdit
Wilson was cleared to return to resume playing by Los Angeles back specialist Bob Watkins in January 2008. On February 12, he had his first visit of the offseason with the Detroit Lions.[18] He also visited the Cleveland Browns in March[19], but he rejected their offer for close to the veteran minimum.
Wilson officially announced his retirement from professional football on September 10, 2008.[20]

Recently, I got to attend a summit of governmental IT leaders. These public sector leaders just like their peers within the private sector, see data increasingly as a mechanism for delivering more effective and efficient "business capabilities". In this post, I will share some of the key takeaways from the presenters about the importance of creating what I like to call the "data ready enterprise".
The Deputy CIO for the FCC said that they are moving from transforming their organization's technology processes to transform their organization's business processes. Taking this step can drive out better alignment between IT and the rest of the organization. "The problem for large public and private organizations is that they cannot stay rooted in the past". For public sector organizations, "we need to provide greater transparency into what we do. We need to create at the same time a freer flow of data with our customers". At the same time, "we need to drive business outcomes". This means enabling better, faster, and yes, cheaper at the same time as they adapt, buy, and create. And we need to show that on the continuum of change that we are truly "leaning forward".
The Deputy CIO, USDA said that 11 Federal Agencies now have a CDO function. She said that overall 25% of enterprises have a CDO. Like others in the government, USDA is participating in the "Open Data Initiative". To make this reality, she said that they have creating data stewards within USDA. She said that they are trying, as well, to limit the number of copies for the same dataset—a common problem across all enterprises.
The Deputy Director, OUSD, DoD, said that he needs to generate real value for his stakeholders. For this reason, those in the government need to see "data as the fuel that drives the decision making". In today's enterprises, data is the currency. For many, they need to be prepared to work with what we have. My department leaders believe that we are here to effectively guide them through decisions. For this reason, he starts by discussing the data first in these discussions.
Fannie Mae's Data Quality Service Manager shared how his organization has come to really care about data quality. He said that they have needed this to be an enterprise wide thing. At their organization, data affects the quality of work and the quality of life. From their experience, data quality like enterprise architecture starts with business architecture. Organizations can either be proactive or reactive for data quality. Good data management uses event management to determine when the rules do not work. And good data quality increasingly needs to become self-service—it should be run by the business so they trust the data that is output.
The USPS, Senior Technology Architect, said that the USPS needed to change in order to survive. Strategically, USPS needed to move from a letter centric business to a package centric business. To be a world class package delivery business, they needed a world class package tracking system. This meant aggressively moving to bar codes and creating a world class supply chain that captures package scans at every step along their journey. Their legacy system architecture was too slow to deliver this and had long lag times for data—furthermore, it proved costly because it demanded regular downtime. Their new architecture, developed to respond to the above deficiencies, includes what they call a scan event architecture. This is capable enough to know when things have gone south. They now have 99.5% availability while managing 150,000,000 tracking events per day. With this performance, they are starting to earn business away from Internet Based Businesses. Their next step is to use package scan data to predict not only the day but the time window for delivery.

MP Shakhov Served with Suspicion
On November 22, Iryna Venediktova signed, and the NABU and SAPO already served the current MP with charges. According to media reports, this refers to MP Serhii Shakhov from the parliamentary group "Trust."
The suspicion concerns false declaration, namely, the unspecified property of his common-law wife for UAH 60 mln!
According to investigators, the MP did not indicate in the declaration his cohabitant Inna Zhurba, for whom a two-story house in the "Sunny Valley" in the village of Romankiv near Kyiv with an area of more than 600 square meters is registered. It was this housing that appeared in the story about Shakhov's Covid-19 illness in March 2020.
And that's not it! Another large cottage with an area of 1,330 square meters, 27 land plots in the Kyiv region with a total area of almost 113 hectares, 8 apartments and 8 parking spaces in an elite high-rise building in Pechersk and 60% of the authorized capital in the Kyiv real estate management company "Da Vinci Center" are registered for the MP's cohabitant.
This company, in turn, owns more than half of the building in the center of Kyiv and almost three dozen parking spaces in this building. Shakhov did not indicate a summer house, non-residential real estate, two cars, shares in several private companies and income from the sale of real estate.
This is the first such suspicion under Article 366-2 for the current MP after the restoration of criminal liability for entering deliberately false information in the declaration.
Shakhov faces from UAH 68,000 to 85,000 of a fine or community service for a term of 150 to 240 hours, or restriction of liberty for up to two years, or imprisonment for the same term.

Kobe Bryant Says Achilles Feels 'Really, Really Good'
by SLAM Staff August 13, 2013
Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant continues to report nothing but very good news regarding his surgically-repaired Achilles tendon. Bryant, during a promotional stop in the Philippines on Monday, said that he feels great. Per the LA Times: "My tendon feels really, really good,' said Bryant at Manila's Newport Performing Arts Theater at the 2013 Lenovo Manila Tour. 'I was really lucky.' Bryant tore his Achilles tendon on April 12 and had surgery the following day. 'As soon as I did it, I said, 'I have to make these free throws,' remembered Bryant, who was able to convert a pair to help the Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors, despite the injury. His status for the start of the season isn't clear but the Lakers guard recently said he has 'shattered' his recovery timetable. 'The trainers go with me everywhere,' said Bryant. 'Family vacations, business trips — they're there all the time.'"

This article is about divergence in vector calculus. For divergence of infinite series, see Divergent series. For divergence in statistics, see Divergence (statistics). For other uses, see Divergence (disambiguation).
Illustration of the divergence of a vector field. This is a field of speed convergent on the left and divergent on the right.
In vector calculus, divergence is a vector operator that produces a scalar field, giving the quantity of a vector field's source at each point. More technically, the divergence represents the volume density of the outward flux of a vector field from an infinitesimal volume around a given point.
As an example, consider air as it is heated or cooled. The velocity of the air at each point defines a vector field. While air is heated in a region, it expands in all directions, and thus the velocity field points outward from that region. The divergence of the velocity field in that region would thus have a positive value. While the air is cooled and thus contracting, the divergence of the velocity has a negative value.
where |V| is the volume of V, S(V) is the boundary of V, and the integral is a surface integral with n̂ being the outward unit normal to that surface. The result, div F, is a function of p. From this definition it also becomes obvious that div F can be seen as the source density of the flux of F.
In light of the physical interpretation, a vector field with zero divergence everywhere is called incompressible or solenoidal – in which case any closed surface has no net flow across it.
The intuition that the sum of all sources minus the sum of all sinks should give the net flow outwards of a region is made precise by the divergence theorem.
where is the local coefficient of the volume element and Fi are the components of F with respect to the local unnormalized covariant basis (sometimes written as ). The Einstein notation implies summation over i, since it appears as both an upper and lower index.
See § Generalizations for further discussion.
The source-free part, B, can be similarly written: one only has to replace the scalar potential Φ(r) by a vector potential A(r) and the terms −∇Φ by +∇ × A, and the source density div v by the circulation density ∇ × v.
This "decomposition theorem" is a by-product of the stationary case of electrodynamics. It is a special case of the more general Helmholtz decomposition which works in dimensions greater than three as well.
for all vector fields F and G and all real numbers a and b.
serves as a nice quantification of the complicatedness of the underlying region U. These are the beginnings and main motivations of de Rham cohomology.
Here the superscript ♭ is one of the two musical isomorphisms, and ⋆ is the Hodge star operator. Working with the current two-form and the exterior derivative is usually easier than working with the vector field and divergence, because unlike the divergence, the exterior derivative commutes with a change of (curvilinear) coordinate system.
The appropriate expression is more complicated in curvilinear coordinates.
In the case of one dimension, F reduces to a regular function, and the divergence reduces to the derivative.
For any n, the divergence is a linear operator, and it satisfies the "product rule"
for any scalar-valued function φ.
This means that the divergence measures the rate of expansion of a volume element as we let it flow with the vector field.
where the second expression is the contraction of the vector field valued 1-form ∇X with itself and the last expression is the traditional coordinate expression from Ricci calculus.
where g is the metric and ∂a denotes the partial derivative with respect to coordinate xa.
where ∇μ denotes the covariant derivative.
↑ The choice of "first" covariant index of a tensor is intrinsic and depends on the ordering of the terms of the Cartesian product of vector spaces on which the tensor is given as a multilinear map V × V × ... × V → R. But equally well defined choices for the divergence could be made by using other indices. Consequently, it is more natural to specify the divergence of T with respect to a specified index. There are however two important special cases where this choice is essentially irrelevant: with a totally symmetric contravariant tensor, when every choice is equivalent, and with a totally antisymmetric contravariant tensor (a.k.a. a k-vector), when the choice affects only the sign.
