 Khovanov homology theory of free knots. There is a polynomial invariant of free knots \cite{Manturov2010}, can it be categorified?

FACTUALLY BOTH ARE IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH.
SCIENCE:-the journey in search of the truth is Out-ward bound i.e. at the physical plane.
AND any tangible proof cannot be provided, but for each individual's understanding.
HENCE, THE PERCEPTION OF 'CONTRADICTION' ARISES.
Are also known. But can it lead to happiness in an individual self?
A BIG NO.WHAT FOLLOWS ON IS THE IN-WARD JOURNEY.

SXSW 2009: The Sounds (part 3)
The. […]Spearheaded by the European physics community, planning is underway for the UN-endorsed International Year of Light (IYL) in 2015. With the encouragement of the General Secretary, Thierry Montmerle, IAU Commission 50 (site protection and promotion of dark skies access) is assembling members for a working group to enhance communication and enable coordination of astronomy-oriented activities for the IYL.
The IYL is intended to showcase the science of light, innovations and applications of lighting engineering and design, and the impact of light on health science, communications, entertainment, urban nightscapes, and the developing world. One of the themes will be astronomical — “Cosmic Light” — which includes Dark Skies Awareness, and it is expected to be a cornerstone programme in the global outreach activities.
At a recent IAU planning meeting in Paris, it was stated the intention of having a strong astronomy-oriented component and delegated full responsibility to the IAU to carry it out. Piero Benvenuti, Assistant General Secretary, will serve as the IAU representative on the IYL Executive Committee. A proposal for the constitution, charge, and support of Working Group activities has been considered by the Executive Committee at their meeting in Australia in April 2014.
The IAU will build on the heritage and infrastructure of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (IYA2009) to provide astronomy cornerstone activities for many of their themes. At the same time, IAU’s strongest contributions are likely to be crosscutting between more than one of the IYL main themes. The IAU knows that astronomy themes naturally involve the nature and origins of light, the function of astronomical optics, as well as the cultural and scientific value of dark skies preservation.
Given the relatively short lead-time of less than a year, the IAU assumes that it will be building on existing programmes, particularly ones that have been successful legacy projects from IYA2009. The IAU notes the paradigm from the IYA2009 that the successful programs were built by the dedication and enthusiasm of their proponents in a bottom-up fashion.
The IAU envisions three or four major programmatic aspects to its “Cosmic Light” cornerstone. Those listed as examples have a basis in already developed activities for IYA2009, and are suitable for attracting sponsorship support to extend the content and global reach.
Worldwide Astronomy Education and Public Outreach to raise public awareness of the value of protecting dark skies.
The Education and Public Outreach category has examples of (IYA2009-inspired) activities, many of which are ongoing, that could be adapted to support the themes of the IYL in their current modes.

Stanley suffered a second successive loss as they were ruing missed chances at the Kassam Stadium.
Oxford were clinical in front of goal with James Henry and a Matty Taylor brace giving Karl Robinson’s men the three points in their promotion charge.
Stanley got into double figures for chances created but were unable to get enough on target and slipped down to 16th in the league.
The Reds started well, bossing the early stages and had a great chance to open the scoring after Joe Pritchard had a goalbound strike blocked, following good work from Jordan Clark.
However Oxford broke quickly in the 13th minute and Marcus Browne fed Henry to the right of the area and he fired home his 13th goal of the season.
Unmarked Bristol City loan striker Taylor headed over the bar for Oxford as the home side grew into the game but Stanley were still a threat, Sam Finley weaving his way into a good position to set up Colby Bishop but the defence managed to clear.
Stanley came close to equalising on the half hour mark when Clark’s looping header was hooked off the line by keeper Simon Eastwood. The ball fell to Dion Charles in the six yard box but his initial strike was blocked, the ball came back out to him but he fired over.
Oxford continued to break at pace and Ross Sykes did well to block a Henry ball in while unmarked Browne got the ball at the far post but his effort was deflected wide.
From the resulting corner, Taylor forced a superb save out of Joe Bursik and, in the last action of the half, Stanley’s Charles raced onto a ball but blasted over.
The home side doubled their lead on 48 minutes when Oxford once again broke quickly and Cameron Brannagan’s cross found Taylor in space and he fired home the second at the far post.
Bursik then produced a superb save, sticking out his leg, to deny Henry a third and he also pushed out a Browne 30 yard free kick.
Stanley still searched for a goal, Pritchard got the ball unmarked in the area but couldn’t connect properly and the Reds felt they should have had a penalty for handball but nothing was given.
John Coleman then changed it around bringing on Benny Ashley-Seal for Charles with 25 minutes to go.
However it was Oxford who struck next on 72 minutes when Henry’s cross in found Taylor who had got in front of the Reds defence and headed home his 16th goal of the season.
Defender Sykes wasn’t far off with a looping header and Ozzy Zanzala came on but the Reds were unable to get on the scoresheet.Did you see...?
How unusual is this? Not at all.
Writes Ms. Judson, “I never agreed with the idea that personality is defined by objects; I would rather say that objects are defined by personality. Yet when someone is dead and belongings are all that is left, dispersing those belongings feels like an erasing of that person’s physical presence on the earth.” I understand completely. Many of you understand. It can be agonizing to dispose of a loved one’s accumulated belongings. But it has to be done. I wish I could have contacted this Olivia Judson person and offered her my book as a modest bit of help. It wouldn’t have solved all her problems. But it would have helped.
Find a Cupboard Full of Old Table Linens? What to do...
Few young people today want the bother of caring for old tablecloths, napkins, and place mats that require careful laundering and ironing, but there are serious collectors out there who cherish fine table linens. Occasionally you’ll find a retailer who specializes in such things, but most are sold through vendors at the better antique shows. Dealers are not usually interested in modern fabric blends, only in 100% cotton or linen. It is hard to tell linen fabric from cotton or blends, sometimes even for the experts, so if you don’t know what your fabric is made of, just bring everything to a dealer for an opinion. As always, check with more than one before taking your best offer.
Complete sets are preferred. I once had a dealer offer a very small amount for a unique tablecloth because it didn’t have matching napkins, which her customers naturally preferred. But even one-of-a-kind items can be recycled into pillow covers, pillow cases, aprons, sachets, guest towels, and such. A single decorative napkin or cocktail napkin (lace, embroidery, crochet, applique, cutwork) can be pressed between two pieces of plexiglass and hung in a window in place of a curtain. Again, those who deal in antique linens often make such products or know where they are made.
And those informal, colorful, printed tablecloths from the 1950s are popular these days!
While We’re on the Subject of Beds...
Blankets and Bedspreads?
If you’ve inherited the contents of a house, you are certain to find old blankets and bedspreads on the beds and in the closets. Assuming you can’t use any more of them in your own home, what are your options?
Old blankets have little value, unless they are 100% wool and in good condition. Just price new 100% wool blankets and you’ll appreciate what you have! Hudson Bay blankets are desirable today, as are Pendleton labels. Both brands have been popular since the days of the Indian trade. Take any 100% wool blankets home if you can. Use them to pack fragile things for the trip back. Dry clean and keep them, or sell in a yard sale, or donate to a local charitable service organization.
Bedspreads, on the other hand, have almost no value. At an estate
