Order of the Golden Chain Order of the Golden Chain The Order of the Golden Chain is a fraternal social organization for Freemasons and their immediate female relatives. The Order of the Golden Chain originated in June 1929 in Asbury Park, New Jersey, when a group of Master Masons and their female relatives met to fulfill a need for a non-sectarian fraternal organization that would be related to Masonry. This was made necessary as the result of the break with the Order of the Eastern Star, caused by the passage of a mandatory resolution which changed the status of the organization from what had been
Slice genus of "K" is 1 while the genus and the smooth slice genus of "K" both equal g. The (smooth) slice genus of a knot "K" is bounded below by a quantity involving the Thurston–Bennequin invariant of "K": The (smooth) slice genus is zero if and only if the knot is concordant to the unknot. Slice genus In mathematics, the slice genus of a smooth knot "K" in "S" (sometimes called its Murasugi genus or 4-ball genus) is the least integer g such that "K" is the boundary of a connected, orientable 2-manifold "S" of genus "g" properly embedded in the
