Talk:Interleave sequence

message: Isn't there a difficulty with the second case? Where a decimal ends with recurring 9's, or 0's (i.e. certain rationals with non-unique decimal expansion), it is less than obvious that the interleaving with something else is well-defined? Charles Matthews 20:38, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: One way of fixing this is to just make a once-and-for-all decision that (say) all expansions end in 0 recurring in preference to 9 recurring. Then you get a well-defined injection. This should probably be mentioned in the article somehow, but I can't think of a good way of putting it at present. Algebraist 14:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Difficulty w/ second case

message: This article needs to be better connected to better-developed articles in real analysis, such as Sequence and Limit of a sequence. The first bullet point is a rather trivial consequence of the basic fact that all convergent subsequences of a convergent sequence have the same limit; and it would be best if readers who stumbled here first were able to discover the wider context. 
A more aggressive reform would be fixing Subsequence and merging this article there. But I don't know how to start there. --Dnavarro (talk) 13:38, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: With the new group being forced to pay expansion fees again. I would say that the Renegades are dead and the new team is a separate expansion club.

text: My understanding is that the Renegades franchise was revoked by the CFL from the previous owners and now held by the CFL, which has suspended its operations. The fee, as I understand it, is for purchase of the franchise not technically speaking an expansion fee. The CFL has always intended to simply find a new owner for the Ottawa team.

Talk:Granita

message: Granita is not the same as Italian ice. Granita is not always a dessert; it can be herb-flavored and used as a palate cleanser. Also, granita can also be much grittier and less smooth than Italian ice. For example, many recipes on the food network website call for freezing flavored water in a 13x9 pan and scraping it with a fork multiple times. Putting the frozen mixture in a blender, like the Italian ice article suggests, would make for a much slushier consistency. --Jacquelyn Marie 21:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Muhammad Ahmad 

message: I'm having trouble verifying this information (these two rulers don't seem to be included in lists of rulers either here or here), so I'm moving it to here pending referencing:
"The Mandara kingdom was composed of a number of uncoordinated city states until Abdul Ali Atuk united them into a very wealthy kingdom.  Atuk built roads using his enemies' warriors as slave labour.  This had a particular advantage over "average" slaves becuase slaves who used to be in the military were much stronger than others.  He is believed to have had 3 wives and many sons.  It is widely believed that he went to Mecca for Hajj but there remains a lack of information how he got there and the exact year he went.  
"After his Hajj, Atuk became a feverant Muslim and claimed that he was a decendant of Muhammad the prophet.  He converted his empire to Islam partly because of his Hajj and pressure from other strong Muslim nations in the region.  One of Atuk's sons was caught and killed in a slave raid when he was on a trip in Western Africa.  Atuk then spent the rest of his life trying to break up the slave trade until his death.  His greatest victory was that against Portuguese slave raiders in the Congo and an invasion of French west Africa which resulted in many slaves and people in forced labour camps being set free.
"Atuk was suceeded by his grandson, Majean Isn Atuk, who by the end of his reign watched the empire his father built recollapse into city states.  Majean was assassinated by an unknown group of men.  It is commonly believed that chiefs of western city states killed him because he was against the slave trade like his grandfather.  The city state chief were believed to have been approached by France or Belgium and offered large sums of money in exchange for slaves."
