TIL the idea that Jehova is the name of God came from a mistranslation. Because Jews can't say the name of God, they used the consonants of the the name (JHVH in latin) mixed with the vowels from the word "adonai" (lord) as a shorthand, but 14th century Christian scholars didn't know this rule. en.wikisource.org/wiki/19…

An App that tells you if a song has been used in a Movie or TV Show, and then finds it and plays it for you. It can also do a reverse search where Users can type the name of a TV Show/Film, and it tells you what songs are being played in a specific scene.
  • I'm not sure how many of you have ever felt like this. But as an aspiring Filmmaker, I love Music in Films. I always hear a song I like and imagine how it could be used in a Film. No matter the genre, I always picture it being played and try to work out the scene in my head. Sometimes I hear a song I REALLY like and wonder if it has been used in a Film before. And to figure out if it has, I just have to do a random Google search and hope I get lucky. But imagine an App where you can type the name of a song, and when you press "Enter." It searches for what Films and TV Shows have used that specific song, if any, and then gives you the Film Title or TV Show name along with the Episode Title. Followed by the exact time stamp in that Film/TV Show where the song was played.
  • Just an idea I always wish was a reality. It's kind of like Shazam and WhoSampled. But instead of telling you what song is being sampled, it tells you which Film/TV Show the song was featured in. Just a thought...

Local ward got a new bishop. What should I expect as someone who used QuitMormon? Can he still see my name on ward lists? Email! Phone number? Annotations? Past discipline? Etc?

My wife is still on the records. The new bishop contacted me earlier this year when he was still the EQP and wanted to come to my home and meet me and my wife even though I resigned a year and a half ago. I told him I was no longer a member of the church and wished not to be contacted and asked him to tell the bishop and ward council just to leave my family alone. He said he was sorry and didn’t realize the situation and that he would pass along the information.

Now this guy is bishop. From what I’ve heard of him and seen from him he is a great guy. But I just don’t want anything onto change. I don’t want to become a target again and I don’t want anyone coming by for my wife to fellowship her. She doesn’t either and we have made it clear to the ward that church people aren’t to come by the house. Does anyone have experience with this kind of change and what information the new bishop will have about me?

[MySQL] How to write a query that finds the names of all customers that had more than 10 different products on their shopping list for a specific date. I can't figure out the specific date part.

For one of my homework exercises I'm supposed to write the query that's given in the title, but I have no clue how to check that the products were purchased on the same date.

The only way that I know of would be to have a from clause as for example:

"FROM shoppinglist as sh1, shoppinglist as sh2, shoppinglist as sh3 etc

WHERE sh1.date = sh2.date, sh2.date = sh3.date etc"

But that would be a lot of work for 10 different dates, so I'm assuming that there is supposed to be a faster way to do it.

I was able to make a query that finds all the cID's of people that purchased 10 different products, but I can't seem to augment it in such a way that all the purchases were made on the same day. This is the query that I came up with:

'SELECT sh1.cID

FROM shoppinglist as sh1

GROUP BY sh1.cID

HAVING count(distinct sh1.pID) > 10;'

returns the cID's of customers that have made 10 purchases, so how would I augment it in order to make sure that those 10 purchases are made on the same day?

I'm using the following schema:

customer(cID, cName, street, city)

Customers with unique cID and other attributes

store(sID, sName, street, city)

Stores with a unique ID and other attributes. Stores with the same name but different sID (and address) form what we call a store chain.

product(pID, pName, suffix)

Products with a unique ID

shoppinglist(cID, pID, quantity, date)

What a customer wants to buy on a certain date. (Every customer creates at most one shoppinglist per day.)

purchase(tID, cID, sID, pID, date, quantity, price)

A transaction: what a customer bought in one go; every transaction (tID) corresponds to one customer (cID) buying from one store (sID) on one date (date); at some point during the course we see that this actually means tID β†’ cID,sID,date

inventory(sID, pID, date, quantity, unitPrice)

Inventory of a store as published at the start of a date.

The information supplied to use about SQL is really really bad so I can't seem to figure it out myself. So any help would greatly greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Basically, back in one of my liberal arts college class on Myths and Legends we learnt about this theory wherein people seem to claim a certain land based on a myth of an ancient origination from that particular land (eg: Israel Palestine issue/ Ram Janmabhumi in Indian history). What is this theory called? There are many more examples of this throughout history I'm sure.
