# Aronson's sequence

Aronson's sequence is an integer sequence defined by the English sentence "T is the first, fourth, eleventh, sixteenth, ... letter in this sentence." Spaces and punctuation are ignored. The first few numbers in the sequence are:
    1, 4, 11, 16, 24, 29, 33, 35, 39, 45, 47, 51, 56, 58, 62, 64, 69, 73, 78, 80, 84, 89, 94, 99, 104, 111, 116, 122, 126, 131, 136, 142, 147, 158, 164, 169, ... (sequence A005224 in the OEIS).
In Douglas Hofstadter's book Metamagical Themas, the sequence is credited to Jeffrey Aronson of Oxford, England. The sequence is infinite—and this statement requires some proof. The proof depends on the observation that the English names of all ordinal numbers, except those that end in 2, must contain at least one "t".
Aronson's sequence is closely related to autograms. There are many generalizations of Aronson's sequence and research into the topic is ongoing.
Cloitre, Sloane & Vandermast (2003) write that Aronson's sequence is "a classic example of a self-referential sequence." However, they criticize it for being ambiguously defined due to the variation in naming of numbers over one hundred in different dialects of English. In its place, they offer several other self-referential sequences whose definitions rely only on mathematics rather than on the English language.

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings | |
| The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | |
In his AllMusic review of the album, Scott Yanow wrote:
   In most cases the guitarist did little more than play the melody, using his distinctive octaves, and it was enough to make him saleable. Of his three A&M recordings, A Day in the Life (the first one) was by far the best and, although the jazz content is almost nil, the results are pleasing as background music.

In Qadian, Najibabadi was superintendent of the Madrasa Nur al-Islam of Ahmadis for five years.

# Gangushahi

Gangushahi is a Sikh sect that is mostly found in the Shivalik Hills region.

## History

The Gangushahi sect that can be traced back to Gangu Shah, also known as Gangu Das, whom was a manji preacher assigned by Guru Amar Das to the Shivalik Hills region, being given a seat in the Sirmur region. Gangu Shah had been born into a Basi Khatri family in Garhshankar. According to Sikh lore, Gangu had presented four pice weight of gur, all of his material possessions, to Guru Amar Das before the guru dispatched him to on the preaching mission to the Shivalik Hills. Over-time, his preaching attracted many followers, with the group growing into their own order. The great-grandson of Gangu, Javahar Singh, consolidated a new sect of Sikhs based on the following of Gangu. During this time, the Gangushahi leader Javahar Singh commanded a large force in the hills region. The Gangushahis constructed their own shrines at Daun (near Kharar in Ropar district), which had been built under Gangu Shah, and Khatkar Kalan (near Banga in Jalandhar district), which had been built under Javahar Singh. These shrines are still places of veneration to this day by followers of the sect.
The Gangushahis were ex-communicated by the Khalsa when their incumbent gaddi, Kharak Singh, in circa 1708 (around the time of Guru Gobind Singh's death) said the rest of the Sikhs congregations were "widowed" since no Sodhi was on the gaddi, implicitly implying that he is left to lead the Sikhs as a guru. Furthermore, there are claims he performed miracles. The Gangushahis under Kharak Singh were against the khande di pahul ceremony, insteading advocating for the original charan amrit initiation ceremony.
Gangushahis still exist today, albeit in small numbers, inhabiting the Shivalik Hills region, particularly in the areas of Jauharsar, Pinjaur, Dagshai, and Nahan. They maintain their own deras and they do not strictly adhere to mainstream Sikh customs nor rehat (codes of conduct).
