President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. As his motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza, gunfire rang out, fatally wounding the president. Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination but was then himself killed by Jack Ruby before he could stand trial. This led to questions about a possible conspiracy. The Warren Commission was formed to investigate but their conclusion of a lone gunman was later disputed by other investigations.
The document discusses the importance of building Zion and working together consistently and concertedly as members of the Church to establish it, rather than just envisioning or describing it. It notes that members either build Zion or weaken it, and quotes scripture encouraging seeking the good and not giving up on the road to Zion.

Nosql query processing system for wireless sensor networksNikhil Bhaware
This document describes a proposed system for NOSQL query processing in wireless sensor networks. It discusses sensors and wireless sensor networks, existing SQL-based query processing systems like TinyDB and TikiriDB, and the need for a NOSQL abstraction. The proposed system would design a NOSQL query syntax, use ANTLR to generate a parser and lexer, implement a query processor and data packets, use mesh routing, and integrate Redis for storage. It would analyze performance on Cooja comparing NOSQL and SQL queries and conclude NOSQL provides better scalability for sensor networks. Future work could include further query optimization.
The document is a chapter from a book titled "Wheat and Tares" by Harold Camping. The chapter discusses the parable of the wheat and tares from the Bible and draws three main conclusions:
1) Local churches throughout history have been made up of both true believers ("wheat") and unbelievers who appear saved but are not ("tares"), and it is impossible for pastors/elders to accurately distinguish the two.
2) Only God can truly see people's hearts and know who is saved. Outward appearances can be deceiving.
3) According to the parable, the wheat and tares will only be fully separated at the end of the age, not before. Having both
This document provides a lesson outline about preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. It discusses prophecies from Zechariah and Malachi about the last days. It encourages readers to pay a full tithe and offerings to experience blessings. It also explains that while no one knows the exact timing of the Second Coming, the faithful can look forward to it and live righteously to hasten the day.
The document discusses war and its impact on different kingdoms. It mentions enlisting in war and the invisible war against evil rulers and authorities. It talks about tools and weapons for fighting in this war, including the Bible and the blood of Jesus. Memory verses and scripture are provided related to spiritual warfare.
Ezekiel was a prophet called by God to serve as a watchman for Israel. Through symbolic actions like lying on his side for 430 days and preaching, Ezekiel warned Israel of coming judgment for their sins and idolatry. He also had visions of Israel's future restoration, including receiving a new heart and spirit, dry bones coming to life, and the rebuilt temple. Ezekiel prophesied of a time when Satan will be bound for 1000 years and Christ will rule during the Millennial Kingdom before the final battle and judgment. The Minor Prophets also warned Israel and surrounding nations while offering hope for the future through messages focused on obedience, justice, and restoration.

This passage from Isaiah 58 discusses God's condemnation of empty worship rituals among his people that are not accompanied by righteous living and care for the oppressed. God explains that true worship requires loosening bonds of wickedness, sharing with the hungry, and clothing the naked. The prophet Isaiah lived during a time of rebuilding after the exile when the temple had been reconstructed but the city walls remained in ruins. God promises blessings of light, guidance, strength, and renewal for those who repent from sin and pursue justice. The sermon references other passages emphasizing that God desires mercy over sacrifice and that true salvation will come through God himself acting as righteous judge and redeemer through the coming Messiah.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Doctrine and Covenants 87:2
In late November 1832, some Saints had moved to Zion but had not consecrated their properties as the Lord had commanded.
But because they had not consecrated their properties, they had not received their inheritances according to the established order of the Church.
The Prophet Joseph Smith addressed this issue in an inspired letter to William W. Phelps, dated November 27, 1832. A portion of this letter is recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 85.
Later, on December 6, 1832, Joseph Smith received the revelation recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 86 as he was working on the inspired revision of the Bible.
This revelation provided further explanation of the parable of the wheat and the tares and the role of the priesthood in helping the Lord gather the righteous in the last days.
Throughout 1832, the Prophet Joseph Smith and other Church members likely learned through newspaper reports of distresses sweeping the earth.
For example, they were aware of disputes about slavery in the United States, and they also knew about the nullification of federal tariffs in the state of South Carolina.
The Prophet stated, “Appearances of troubles among the nations became more visible this season than they had previously been since the Church began her journey out of the wilderness” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 249).
On December 25, 1832, Joseph Smith received the revelation now recorded in Doctrine and Covenants 87, which includes prophecies about the wars and judgments that would be poured out upon all nations in the last days

The phrase “steady the ark of God” refers to “an incident during the reign of King David in ancient Israel. The Philistines had captured the ark of the covenant in battle but returned it when they were struck by plagues (see 1 Samuel 4–6). David and the people later brought the ark to Jerusalem in an ox cart, driven by Uzzah and Ahio. ‘And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error, and there he died by the ark of God’ (2 Samuel 6:6–7; see vv. 1–11). The ark was the symbol of God’s presence, His glory and majesty. When first given to Israel, the ark was placed in the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle, and not even the priest was allowed to approach it. Only the high priest, a type of Christ, could approach it, and then only after going through an elaborate ritual of personal cleansing and propitiation for his sins. …
“However well-meaning Uzzah’s intentions, he approached casually what could only be approached under the strictest conditions. He had no faith in God’s power. He assumed that the ark was in danger, forgetting that it was the physical symbol of the God who has all power. We cannot presume to save God and His kingdom through our own efforts.
“‘Uzzah’s offence consisted in the fact that he had touched the ark with profane feelings, although with good intentions, namely to prevent its rolling over and falling from the cart. Touching the ark, the throne of the divine glory and visible pledge of the invisible presence of the Lord, was a violation of the majesty of the holy God. “Uzzah was therefore a type of all who with good intentions, humanly speaking, yet with unsanctified minds, interfere in the affairs of the kingdom of God, from the notion that they are in danger, and with the hope of saving them” (O. V. Gerlach).’ (Keil and Delitzsch, Commentary, bk. 2: Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, ‘Second Book of Samuel,’ p. 333.)” (Doctrine and Covenants Student Manual, 2nd ed. [Church Educational System manual, 2001], 188).
The Lord referred to this incident in modern revelation to teach the principle that we should not take upon ourselves the responsibility to give direction (“steady the ark”) to our priesthood leaders or others whom God has called and appointed (see D&C 85:8). Yet there are those who fear the ark is tottering and presume to steady it.
Some members of the Church may see problems and be frustrated with the way they feel their leaders or others are addressing those problems. They may feel that even though they do not have the authority to do so, they need to correct the course of their ward or even of the Church. However, the best intentions do not justify such interference with the Lord’s Church.
President David O. McKay taught:
“It is a little dangerous for us to go out of our own sphere and try unauthoritatively to direct the efforts of a brother. You remember the case of Uzzah who stretched forth his hand to steady the ark. [See 1 Chronicles 13:7–10.] He seemed justified when the oxen stumbled in putting forth his hand to steady that symbol of the covenant. We today think his punishment was very severe. Be that as it may, the incident conveys a lesson of life. Let us look around us and see how quickly men who attempt unauthoritatively to steady the ark die spiritually. Their souls become embittered, their minds distorted, their judgment faulty, and their spirit depressed. Such is the pitiable condition of men who, neglecting their own responsibilities, spend their time in finding fault with others” (in Conference Report, April 1936, 60).

Tares are a type of poisonous weed. Wheat and tares are almost identical when they sprout, but they can be distinguished once they mature. If a reaper tried to pull out the tares before the wheat and tares matured, he or she would likely destroy much of the wheat as well.
Joseph Smith was reviewing and editing the inspired revision of the Bible (the Joseph Smith Translation) when he received this revelation.
Video: Jesus Declares the Parable of the Wheat and the Tares (1:17)
Point out that in the parable, the householder instructs his servants to first gather the tares to be burned and then to gather the wheat in the barn (see Matthew 13:27–30). Invite students to read Doctrine and Covenants 86:7 silently to discover an insight this revelation provides that clarifies the order of gathering.
• What do we learn from verse 7 about the order of gathering?
• What does this teach about what will happen to the righteous and the wicked in the last days? (Students should identify the following doctrine: The Lord will gather the righteous during the last days and then destroy the wicked at His Second Coming.)
t
In December 1832, newspapers throughout the United States were reporting on this conflict. It was at this time that Joseph Smith received the revelation in Doctrine and Covenants 87 prophesying that “wars … will shortly come to pass, beginning at the rebellion of South Carolina” (D&C 87:1). In early 1833, not long after this prophecy was given, the United States government peacefully settled the issue with the state of South Carolina. Some may have believed the crisis had passed, but it had been only temporarily halted and South Carolina would still rebel.
Invite students to refer to the section introduction for Doctrine and Covenants 130 and identify the year in which Joseph Smith gave this reaffirmation of the prophecy in section 87.
12 I prophesy, in the name of the Lord God, that the commencement of the difficulties which will cause much bloodshed previous to the coming of the Son of Man will be in South Carolina.
13 It may probably arise through the slave question. This a voice declared to me, while I was praying earnestly on the subject, December 25th, 1832.
• In what year did Joseph Smith reaffirm the prophecy in section 87? (1843.)
How many faithful Latter-Day Saints were killed in the Civil War. (answer= NONE) Why? They followed the prophet west and avoided the war.
Church History in the Fulness of Times Manual chapter 30:
As the conflict deepened, the Saints viewed the Civil War with mixed emotions. They considered the bloodshed and devastation in the “states” a judgment upon the nation for the murders of Joseph and Hyrum Smith, for not keeping the commandments of God, and for the injustices inflicted upon the Saints in Missouri and Illinois. Members of the Church followed Joseph Smith’s lead in firmly supporting the American Constitution. John Taylor expressed the feelings of many Latter-day Saints when he addressed them:
“We have been driven from city to city, from state to state for no just cause of complaint. We have been banished from the pale of what is termed civilization, and forced to make a home in the desert wastes. …
“Shall we join the North to fight against the South? No! … Why? They have both, as before shown, brought it upon themselves, and we have had no hand in the matter. … We know no North, no South, no East, no West; we abide strictly and positively by the Constitution.”2
After war had raged for nearly a year, President Young acknowledged that the Saints were much better off in the West: “Had we not been persecuted, we would now be in the midst of the wars and bloodshed that are desolating the nation, instead of where we are, comfortable located in our peaceful dwellings in these silent, far off mountains and valleys. Instead of seeing my brethren comfortably seated around me to-day, many of them would be found in the front ranks on the battle field. I realize the blessings of God in our present safety. We are greatly blessed, greatly favored and greatly exalted, while our enemies, who sought to destroy us, are being humbled.”3
Church leaders never seriously considered supporting the Confederacy, and when President Abraham Lincoln asked them for soldiers to guard the transcontinental telegraph lines and transportation routes, the Church responded enthusiastically. The Saints also willingly paid an annual war tax of $26,982 imposed on the Utah Territory by the United States Congress. The Brethren repeatedly reaffirmed their loyalty to the Union. Indeed, just as some states were trying to get out of the Union, Utah was trying to get in.
President Joseph Fielding Smith noted: “Scoffers have said it was nothing remarkable for Joseph Smith in 1832, to predict the outbreak of the Civil War and that others who did not claim to be inspired with prophetic vision had done the same. …It was not, however, within the power of man to predict in the detail which the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith, what was shortly to come to pass as an outgrowth of the Civil War and the pouring out of war upon all nations.” (Church History and Modern Revelation, 1:358–59.)
In 1958 Elder Joseph L. Wirthlin noted:
“The Prophet Joseph gave us this marvelous revelation in 1832. The Civil War came in 1861;
the war between Denmark and Prussia in 1864;
Italy and Austria in 1865 and 1866;
Austria and Prussia in 1866;
Russia and Turkey in 1877;
China and Japan in 1894 and 1895;
Spanish-American in 1898;
Japan and Russia in 1904 and 1905;
World War I in 1914–1918;
then the next war was a comparatively small one, Ethiopia and Italy, when the people in that land of Ethiopia were taken over and controlled by Italy. I am grateful to the Lord that they now have their freedom. Then, the World War just passed [World War II] and, of course, the Korean War. [Since 1958 there have been, among numerous other wars, the Vietnam War in Southeast Asia, the war in Angola, the Six-Day and Yom Kippur wars in the Holy Land, and the Persian Gulf War.]
Truly - War has been poured out upon all Nations - as the Prophet Prophesied!!!
D&C 87:2. Has War Been Poured Out on All Nations?
“These nations of Russia, China, Korea, Syria, Israel, Egypt, Arabia, Lebanon—all of these nations are now in an attitude of war of some kind. Just what the results are going to be, I do not know. Of course, from the revelations we can and do know that some day there will be one great war in a certain area, that area possibly may be in and around some of these countries I have mentioned, probably around Israel.” (In Conference Report, Oct. 1958, p. 33.)
Help students understand that the “chastening hand” of God refers to the fact that the Lord uses His judgments to prompt His children to repent of their sins (see Helaman 12:3). In addition, some of the judgments described in these verses will occur as the Lord punishes the wicked for their unjust treatment of the righteous.
