In this game I will be asking a popular youtuber the price of 10 Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Their goal will be to guess the price of each card as closely as possible. For each dollar away they are from the correct answer they receive a point. As points add up, the lower the price. Today we see if your favorite youtuber can win the $1000 grand prize. DZeph is a long time Yu-Gi-Oh youtuber and player with over 200,000 subscribers. He is known for his discussion videos about specific Yu-Gi-Oh cards and archetypes, and more recently his series Master Saga and Master Roulette. Today we find out if he knows his Yu-Gi-Oh prices. Welcome back to Guess That Price. This is Episode 14. Well, it was recorded 14th and then we didn't actually record so that I did 15, but so this is back to 14. It's like a rerun. This is round two with DZ. He's already been through all, not these questions, but he's been through 10 questions. He actually finished fourth out of everyone and then he realized he didn't record his whole episode. It doesn't count anymore, but he does get to retry. Maybe this extra 10 questions will help. Do you think you're going to do better or worse than last time? I'm hoping better, but man, you guys missed a legendary run. There were a couple of times where I got it right on there, which was pretty crazy. I think we were talking about that I had 10% was the number at the end or whatever, which is good. I hope I can do better. You'd think I'd be able to, but I don't know. Maybe the questions are going to be harder this time. We'll see. Yeah. So if you were expecting any DZ related questions, those were in the last video that you didn't see. So sorry. Now these are just random. So we're just going to have to see how he does. Multi-faker is worth $0. By the way, we did that question one last time. That is not in this quiz. So unfortunately for him, that was one of the easiest questions he had. We're going to have to go into question one. It feels weird because like we've already done this and nobody has actually seen it. It just feels like it's the first time for them, but it's not really for us. So let's just go straight into question one. You know the rules. You've done this before. Question number one, or should I say question number 11 for Doug? It is charge of the light brigade secret rare first edition from the duelist Genesis. This is where we're starting here. I told you it's a little different than the multi-faker. Yeah, a little different. So with charge of light brigade, I know this card has skyrocketed considerably over the years. I've owned, I think I actually do still own a couple unlimbs of this card, which are much lower than the first set as far as I know. But I know this card was like pretty expensive a couple years ago because I did actually, so I had two unlimbs and one first set and I did sell the first set probably three years ago, which once we find out this card price, I'll probably cry about. But yeah, I think this is definitely going to be in the tier two category. I doubt it's going to go all the way to 251. It's kind of a tough first question though, because it could be all over the place. It could be anywhere. Yeah, I really just have not paid attention. I know this card has gone up a lot, but I just have not paid attention enough. I actually think this feels so bad. No, there's no way I can pass the first question. I can't be that wrong. You could. I mean, that's the last lifeline people use because they don't like it. It's like the least effective, I think. So if you were to swap this out, that might be a good idea because it's like the worst lifeline, I think. Yeah, I used it on the 10th question last time. He's another first question this time. Yeah, nobody knows that though, so it's all good. No, I'll just guess one. Yeah, no, I'll do the swap. I'll do the swap for the same tier. Okay, so you're right in between there. So you were saying you thought it was in tier two, so keep that in mind for when you swap it out. This next one could be in tier two. Okay, so you do in fact want to swap this card? No, no, no, I'll just guess 160 final answer. Tell me how bad it is. Okay, all right, that is the most back and forth ever seen. First it's tier two. Well, I was telling you last episode that I'm the type of person to hold the full restores until after the elite four. So yeah, it's just I just might as well save them for later and then you just never use them. So you started tier two, then you're like, I'm going to use the lifeline. They're like, no, let's just go 160. Yeah, well, I will tell you you were right about the tier. It's in tier two. Yeah, this card is worth $198. Okay, that is nowhere near as far off as I thought I thought you were going to say like 230, 240. No, honestly, when you said like tier two, I was like, I think he's in the right, like, right place. And then you were going to swap it. I was like, maybe not. And then you came back for 160. That was a pretty solid guess. Okay, I mean, last time multi figure, you guessed $1 and it was zero. So you're a lot closer then. Yeah, this is also a tier two card, which is a little bit harder. So not a bad start. Maybe you can, you know, do what you did last time. We're just going to have to find out. Let's go to question two. Yeah, rivalry of the warlords collector rare first edition from Kings court. This one, I believe is either 80 or $90. It did skyrocket in price for like a month or so. I think pack had talked about it or something. Or actually, I think it was like John mentioned that like, it should be more expensive. But then it eventually went back down. And I think that right now, because I looked at buying this card back at Niagara, when I was thinking about playing Altergeist for a brief moment. And I think at that time, it was a bit more expensive. Maybe I'm wrong, though, but I feel like this card is definitely, it's definitely under $100. I don't think it's over $100 anymore. Although, oh man, first ed Kings court is probably actually more than I know. I don't, it hasn't been played in the war. Yeah. I don't think there is an unlimited Kings court. Okay. Is there not? That's actually one that I don't know. I don't think it's unlimited run. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. Yeah, they didn't ever reprint this one. Okay. In that case, okay, that's good to know because that means that the prices I'm thinking of have only ever been the first ed price. So that's good. Yeah. In that case, I will in fact guess, I feel like I saw it for $79.99 or maybe $89.99. I like just looked at this card last week. Or apparently I did it. I don't know. I'm going to guess $90. I'll guess $90. $90. All right. Rivalry of the warlords collect a rare first edition from Kings court. Yeah. You said $80 to $90. I was really hoping you'd split the difference. It's $86. Oh, but closer to $90, closer to $90. You're technically picked the right side. If you're going to pick one of them, you're only four bucks off. You get that bonus great start again for the second time. Okay. Let's just go to question three. There's not a lot to say there. You crushed that one. Red eyes, dark Dragoon, starlight rare, first edition from Brothers of Legend. Okay. I'll tell you this. I don't know. Yeah. So this is one where I've, I don't think I've looked at the price and probably since it came out. Yeah. Like I think I kept track of it the first like month. And then I was like, yeah, who really cares? Cause I feel like at one point I saw this card at $250, which seems, you know, I think $250 is like not that outrageous of a price because it's not really play. I mean, it's just not played at all. Like you can't play it right now.  Right. I think dark magician is not good. Is that what you're trying to say? Um, you know, they took a hit when Anaconda lost, you know, they needed two multiple avenues to get there. But yeah, it's pretty sad. But, uh, so I think that the dark Dragoon, um, is definitely not at its peak anymore. I believe that this is one that has not gone up in price. This might sound ridiculous. Uh, once we find out the price, I really think it's under 250, but how close that's one where I can be like really wrong. I'm just looking at the lifelines again. Tell me which amount tier I think I do know that lower or higher. I will guess. I'll guess $230. Final answer. $230. All right. Red eyes, dark Dragoon, starlight rare, first edition, brothers of legend. This is like six million. In fact, correct. When you said it is below $250. Okay. It's $240. Oh, okay. So close. Okay. It was so close. I was about to say, I think it's around that price. I think it's around that price. Yeah. You, you absolutely nailed that one right off the bat. You were like, I almost passed that one at the very last second there, like the tier. Yeah. I was like, I'm just not going to say anything and just see what he says because like, I'm just, I'm not going to interfere here. You're already so close. If you want to switch it, you can switch it. Okay. Question for hopefully this one will trip you up because we can't be having you get like 1% again. Okay. Well, you know, you can't be improving on your score from last time. Okay. We have blue eyes, alternative white dragon, blue letter, secret miscellaneous promotional cards. This is the one that they gave out and like the Twitter thing, the Joan and stuff. It's that version. Okay. This is a wild one to put on here. My first guess would be that this is $999. Like I think it's like really close to the cap. I actually think it's cards probably around like $800. I don't know. I've never looked at the price of any of these blue lettered cards. I've never won any of them, either. Unfortunately, I really wanted this alternative. Looks very cool. But man, I, this could be anywhere, like really, really anywhere. So I'm actually quite worried about it. This could be the swap right here. I'm going to be honest, this could be the swap right here because it seems like a pretty decent one. Yeah. Oh, but I remember that they kept giving out these. So I feel like the price has probably gone down a little bit. So I don't know. It could be anywhere between $500 and $800 in my mind. And that's just like so, I mean, that's way too big of a range. It's a big range. Yeah. I'll do lower or higher. You don't want to swap this one. Yeah. I think I can actually narrow it down if I do lower or higher. Okay. Sure. Let's go. I like the swapping the tier one. I like to, you know, it's not the best one, but I like it. It's an underdog. Okay. You just like it to keep it just in case or something. So I'll do lower or higher and I'll say $650. Okay. So you're splitting the difference between your $500 and $800. Yeah. I like the strategy. This card is higher than $650. Okay. So I'm going to guess, I mean, it could just be $651. Who knows? But I'm going to guess $725. $725. Final answer. $725. The blue eyes alternative white drive.  This card is $749. I'm feeling pretty good. I feel like that worked out. I thought you were disappointed. I was like, that's insane. No, no, no, no. I was just like in disbelief that that strategy worked out because I really, I have no clue on this card. Now you were very, very close because this is like, I mean, this is a really high number. So it's a huge percentage of your total like 24 minus 10. So you're 14 off. So that is a big time guess for like your potential final score. Yeah. Let's just go to five. Like that was, that was well played. I'll give you that. That was well played. All right. This is the halfway point after this one. We have a book of lunar eclipse starlight rare first edition from the lightning overdrive and I want to reiterate so far two tier twos one of tier one and tier three so far. Okay. So book of lunar eclipse is a card that at one point I knew the price of, you know, when gauge was talking about it and everyone was kind of following the price of the starlights and stuff. Not sure if he ever got a chance to use that. But I know this card is below a hundred dollars. The question is how far below I feel like I've seen this card. It's definitely been at $70 before. But the question is, is this a card that could go to like 50, I mean a $50 starlight? What am I talking about? Like even the that shitty trap card is I think like storm dragons return. Yeah. Yeah. Surely book of lunar eclipse is more than storm dragons, although that was actually from like a set that's hard to get. So maybe that actually increases it a little bit. I'll guess 70 final answer. I think it's like right around there. $70 book of lunar eclipse starlight rare first edition. This card is $96. Really? So you're in the right tier. But yeah, it was like just under a hundred. I can't believe that's the one that I've gotten the most wrong. Oh my gosh. Is that actually your worst one so far? I think so percentage wise, right? I don't know. Maybe charge was, probably charge was, probably charge was, probably charge was. Yeah, charge. Charge was the worst. But okay. But still, I mean really not bad because you're in the right tier.   You're doing really well through the halfway point. Let's see how the back half goes. You do have two more lifelines. Don't forget about that. You really have a dropped one either. All right. Question number six. We have the track trap tricks alamiris starlight rare first edition from eternity code. Man. Yeah. You are really throwing some that I do not know. Hey, you're basically like number 16 now because so there's been a lot of cards I've used. So I'm trying to get into some random ones. Hopefully you can reuse my list for someone else. I'm going to I think. Okay. So the trap tricks. I think this is like actually pretty expensive. I think this is over $250. I'm pretty sure. What question is this six? You said a question six. Yeah. This will be your, uh, you have two of tier one, two of tier two, one of tier three so far. Okay. Yeah. I feel like this is over. Oh, especially because it has to be over two. There's no way this card did not spike over 250. If it wasn't already there after the trap trick structure deck was revealed, surely that has made it crazy. But then that might have probably hyped or something. Um, that actually kind of scares me. I think I might do, I'll do tell me, uh, yeah, I'll do tell me the tier that it's in because I don't know if it's in tier two or tier three. The trap tricks. Alamaris, however you say this card is tier three. I'll do 300 final answer. $300 final answer. We've got the trap tricks. Alamaris starlight rare first edition from eternity code. This card is $289. Okay. Okay. So it's spiked a little bit.  I have absolutely no idea. Yeah. I thought it was like around 200, but I can't remember. Yeah. It probably went up from like a tier two to a tier three card from after that. And you basically nailed it with your bonus. So, uh, yeah, very nice. You've got four questions to go. You could still swap one card the rest of the way. Keep that in mind. Haven't really dropped a big one yet. So you kind of got one to play with there. Let's see what number seven has. We have pot of duality ultimate rare from astral pack five. Okay. Um, so I do know that here this is in, this is in tier three. This is a card I have bought and sold and bought and sold and bought and sold a lot of times. I seem to be very fickle when it comes to pot of duality, I guess I just never want to own it for more than like a year. I do know this card is quite expensive. I think it is near 300. I think this card is pretty expensive because I know that like the last time I sold it, I remembered like regretting it quite a bit because I think it spiked like over a hundred dollars because I feel like I sold them when it was like 250 and then it spiked to over 300 after that. Is it still that though?  So I feel like the card, yeah, it must be, is it more than 300 though? I'll guess 320 final answer 320 pot of duality ultimate rare astral pack five. Doug, you were pretty confident about this one. I kind of was, but but it's $200. How the money is falling. It has gone down. It seems for whatever reason. I don't know why. I actually don't, you were so confident. I double checked while you were talking because I was like, this guy, no, he's like, sure. So I was like, let me double check. And there's multiple listed for 200 near mint. So I don't know what happened to this card. I mean, right. Like you said, flu is still pretty popular. So like, but it's like just flu, right? Like nothing, literally nothing else. Oh, and mystic mine isn't in the format. That was the deck that played it. So that was half as many. I guess half as many now. So the good side for you is you had one to play with. Yeah. So you can kind of throw this one out. It's no big deal. But now you got to, you got to be perfect the rest of the way. Not to have to drop another one. Okay. Question number eight, you could still swap one as well. So let's keep going. Blackwing Armor Master Starlight Rare First Edition from Battles of Legend Crystal Revenge. I don't know, man. No, it's this card. It's new, man. I've never, I've never seen this cards picture next to a price in my life. The question is, do I think I can logic my way into figuring out this card's price? It is a cool starlight. It's a nice, you know, crow card. But I feel like, you know, that, that Blackwing dragon crow card already exists. It's not the first Blackwing and it's not the first crow starlight. And it is an Edison reprint, but it's like, I know a lot of people with older formats do like you. They might just use like the ultimate rare of this because they're like using the, the highest old rarity. But starlights are cool. Oh my gosh. I don't know, dude. You do still have a swap if you want to use it. I really want to try to save this swap for the next question. So your, your breakdown, your tier breakdown could help you out a little bit because you have three tier two and only two of the others. So it's like between one and three, unless this is a fourth tier two before the last two. Oh no, I think it's lower. I think it's low. I think it's like, I'm almost willing to guess like 50 bucks. I'm just, I'm just worried if it's like that low. I mean, it's a starlight. I feel like I'm trying to treat it like a collector's rare, but it is a starlight, but it's in like battles of legend. It is a starlight. And like, but the battles legend, we did see that Levi. Gosh, I'll swap. It's, I'll guess $80. I'll guess $75. Final answer. Just get this out of my sight. $75. Get this out of his sight, he said. I don't want to see it. Blackwing arbor master starlight rare from battles of legend crystal revenge. He doesn't like these starlight rare apparently. That's what we've learned today. This is $90. Oh my gosh.  I literally like felt that. I thought you were going to just say like $300. $250. Any number.  This was probably one of the cheapest ones in the set for sure. I mean, it's like, it had to be, but what if it wasn't? Yeah. Yeah. What if it wasn't? What if it, I mean it is new. So you never really know what the brand new stuff. It's just like really expensive randomly. So okay. Not bad. You're only like 15 off then minus your 10. You're looking good. You almost said 80, which would have been great, but 75 still awesome. Let's get to the last two. You're still doing really well. Yep. All right. Question number nine spirit reaper super rare from champion pack three. And then we have blackwing super rare from turbo pack booster one. Bad news. I do not know either of these. Not even a little bit, which is a little surprising. I knew spirit reaper at one point, but since like the, the boom of old collectors or old champion pack cards, I really don't know with black whirlwind. I mean, it's the highest rarity, but I mean blackwings did get support. I'm just trying to think about which one of these I think I know the least. Yeah. To swap out because like the spirit reaper I'm thinking is pretty expensive where the black whirlwind. I'm actually thinking it's not that expensive. And I think it's easier to guess things that are less expensive, less of a range. You know, if I'm just guessing under a hundred versus anywhere, I think I have to swap. Yeah. I really, I have to stop the spirit reaper. I have no clue. No clue with the spirit reaper. Unfortunately. All right.  Yes. I've saved it till the end once again. Ironically, this fits in with your quiz, a one you've already done. So I don't know if that'll help or not. Who knows? We're just going to have to see your new question instead of the spirit reaper.  Oh, guess for the spirit reaper, probably 300 is where I would have guessed. All right. 300. We've locked that in. Your new question. Palladium Oracle Mahad, the Melissa Miscellaneous Promotional Cards. So this is the same thing as the blue eyes alternative white dragon, but obviously a different card. So it's the same situation. Pro. Two blue ones on here. It wasn't supposed to be. It's supposed to be a backup. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Only thing. Only thing. God, do I know that one less? No, I might figure that one out more because at least it's like a recent card, but it's like once again, is that one where they just gave it out over and over and over again?  I think it was the guardian angel that went out a bunch of times. How much was that blue eyes one? Did we? It doesn't even matter. This card's in such a different category. Yeah. The blue eyes was $749. There's no way that. God, it's that. I will just, you know, trust my gut here.  I'm going to go. I don't feel comfortable about anything. I'm just looking at this black whirlwind image for the last five minutes and just crying. I'm going to go 450 on the blue oracle and 70 on black whirlwind. 70 and 450. Those are your final answers for the quiz. They are. In fact, my final answers for the quiz. Okay. First, we will do the black whirlwind. Then I will tell you, actually, first I'll tell you what your spirit Reaper. Yeah. Doug. Yeah. You should have just stuck with a spirit Reaper. No, no, no, no, no, no. The spirit Reaper's $315. You almost nailed it right on the head. I should have known as soon as you started looking for the replacement and we couldn't find one. That was the sign. I should have just said, nope, I'm sticking to it. Yeah, that should have been the sign. You should have stuck to it. You did decide to replace it. Yeah. You said $450. It's not that bad, but it wasn't as good as the spirit Reaper. It's $370. Okay. Okay. So it's all right. I mean, you're in the range. Yeah. You're going to end up being 80 minus 10, so it's not terrible. Yeah. Black whirlwind. This card, you guess 70 is $150. So you're equally off on both of them. So that's actually the, because it's percentage wise that the one gets dropped, or is it the biggest difference? It's just total number. Total number. Yeah. So you're still dropping the pot of duality. Okay. That's the total number over total number. Right, right. Oh my gosh. Black whirlwind. Is that it? Ah, geez. Yeah. Messed it up on the final ones. It could have been the support that brought it up. It could also be people playing in Edison as well. Yeah. I didn't even think by Edison. Yeah, of course. Damn. Okay.  Let's see if you beat last time. Okay. Or not. We're going to have to figure it out. It's going to be close, I think. Let's hope.  Overall. I am ready. I'm ready to find out. So the total value of all your cards on this quiz was $2,468. You were off by $288. You also got nine tiers correct, which means you were $198 off. If you could do some quick math. Yeah. I'm seeing what you're saying. You beat last time. Even with those last two, you beat last time. You were 8.02%. Nice. Nice. So that would officially put you at third play. No, wait. Yeah. Third place. 0.1% ahead of distant. Oh, I passed Coder this time. So second time, Doug is in third place. That's crazy. First time, Doug is just you last time you lost to Coder. This time you beat Coder. Yeah. So pretty impressive performance because we had all the issues. I am definitely down to honor this 8% in the giveaway. So make sure you guys enter that for a $250 giveaway. It's like the video. Be subscribed. Let me know how Doug did down below. Let me know if you wanted to see the original one. I mean, I can't actually show it to you. I just want to know if you actually were interested. Just your audio. All right, Doug, how do you feel about the second performance? I feel good. These ones were a lot harder. I'll just tell you guys that right now. The other ones, there were a couple that like I actually got right on there and there were cards that I had a little bit more experience with. This was a tough quiz. I hope people don't think that I got the score only because I retook it. I really think that this one was like, I almost want to say like twice as hard. This was significantly harder than the previous one, which is how it should be. But great game show and thanks for having me on. Yeah, I feel like you last time pretty much knew the ballpark of every card. This time you'd like kind of guesstimated if you like nailed them a couple of times. So it really was only a 2% difference. So you're pretty consistent about where you were at in terms of the stuff. So you did, however, bump it up into that next category of $250 giveaway. So congratulations. This was awesome. Thanks for being on here. Make sure you guys go check out DZ on his YouTube channel and he sometimes streams on Twitch as well. So go check him out there and I will see you guys in the next one. See you. Peace.

Welcome back everyone. We are talking about the Apostolic Ministry and we will continue from where we stopped. We said that in the early church, the apostles had a certain function and we talked about each one of those. We listed out teaching, we listed out signs, wonders and miracles, church administration, church government, preaching, leadership authority. They were the targets of persecution. They strengthened the local church and they also expanded into new territories. So this is how these apostles led the early church as we go further. Beyond the apostles of the land, we have other apostles such as Paul. Paul we know is one of the founding apostles later or actually before Paul is Barnabas. Barnabas who is a Levite, a godly man, generous man, encouraging personality. He is also in leadership and he is the one who is actually instrumental in bringing Paul into the picture. So Barnabas is one of the apostles. There are names of others mentioned and they are termed as apostles. That is why we are listing them out here and the scripture references are given in the notes. You have Andronicus, Junior, Silas of Silvanus, Timothy, Titus, James, the Lord's brother are some of the other names of apostles. In case you are wondering, apart from the 12 apostles, who are other apostles? So these are the people who are called as apostles also. Now why are they called? Maybe the features that we enlisted just now. They carry some of those features and that is what, multiple features and because of that it marks them as apostles. So let us continue to discuss these characteristics. We have understood the characteristics from the apostles of the Lamb. Now what are these characteristics? As we look at Paul's life also, we will include Paul's life and the lives of other apostles in the Bible. So what are the features of the apostolic ministry? Now as I started off saying, we cannot have a fixed formula. Because if you look at the life of Paul and if you look at the, let's say the life of Timothy, according to us, we categorize them differently. But when the Bible points out that even Timothy in a couple of places, 1 Thessalonians 1-1 versus 2 Thessalonians 2-6, he is referred to as an apostle. So then you wonder, okay, Timothy did not work the way Paul did, but he still called as an apostle. So there's no formula or a fixed method with which we can look at someone and identify them. We'll have to take it case by case and look at the features and be led by the Spirit of God to actually term them as an apostle. So what are these features? What are some of the traits of this ministry gift of the apostolic? The operation of this gift is such that we see that those who are called as apostles are generally called to a specific work. Or we might even say specific people. When we look at Apostle Paul, we know that he was called to the Gentiles. Primarily that was what was he not preaching to the Jews he was, but ultimately a lot of his work was for the Gentiles. Now, if you consider Peter and Paul states this in what he's saying, he states in one of the scriptures that Peter was for the circumcised or he was saying that Peter's primary ministry was to the Jews. So you notice the apostolic generally a call to a work or a call to a people group. Now, not always is it a people group, but it can be a work, a certain kind of work that God wants us to do. So that's how we would understand it. Now I know that many of us have that understanding apostolic. Oh, I am called to Africa. I'm called to South America. So a region, we go by the region, we go by the people, I'm called to the Indians, I'm called to the Australians, something like that. But in today's understanding, we'll see later, it's not so much just that we could even look at the apostolic as called to the field of media or called to business. Okay, I'll come to that later. And that's what we have to understand. Call to a specific work and could be a specific people also, but not necessarily. So that is one feature as we look at the apostles in the Bible. Now, going forward, they have a distinct work in establishing the local churches. When we see what Paul writes in 1 Corinthians chapter 3, you know, he states that he was the one who actually laid the foundation of that church. But later on, he says he talks about Apollos. Apollos came and he watered. So he did the groundwork. Apollos came and he did the little more building, strengthening the church sort of a work. So even there, there is an understanding of what kind of work usually God gives to an apostle. You might find that an apostle lays the foundation, moves on, lays the next foundation, moves on, lays the next foundation, moves on, moves on, moves on. So it depends on what God is called that person to do. So that might be the nature of their apostolic work. So even the distinct work that God gives to that individual and in this case, Paul's case, it was establishing and building up local churches. The other feature is stepping into open doors. Now we know as we look at the life of Apostle Paul, he was praying, he was seeking God for open doors. So once he and Barnabas were set apart for the ministry to which God called them, the missionary journey started. So how did the missionary journeys actually take place? Paul was waiting on the Lord for guidance. Let's go. This is an open door. This territory is open. And you remember the Macedonian call. He wanted to enter Asia but ultimately he had a vision and a man from Macedonia was calling him. So open doors, they had open doors to the unreached and so he went in those areas. And what did he do? Actually stepping into those open doors caused the opening up of territories for the gospel. So then the gospel went into Macedonia and that entire region, you have all those cities of Philippi, Neapolis. So over there and all he, Apollonia, all those places, he was able to share the gospel. He was able to do the work, the powerful work of God over there that he moved on. So from there he moved on. You have he went to the Akaya region, he went to the Galatia region. So new territories where he actually established the work of God. And similarly even today, we'll come to it later but I'm just giving you a picture. So it need not be physical territories. It could be some, you know, like as I took the example of media, something new in the field of media, new territories to conquer, new things to pioneer. So God can use it. This is how the Apostolic ministry works. Apostolic grace on a person's life will cause these things to happen. Then we already said that the power gifts of God are functioning. So whenever we talk about calling, right, in the supernatural, keys to the supernatural, we studied that the grace of God, the grace and the gift of God, we must recognize that. Because when God calls us for something, he will empower us. There will be grace. There will be gifts that are company. Even the power gifts of God, that is the gifts of the Holy Spirit will accompany. And we know from the lives of these apostles, wonderful miracles were done, mighty miracles were done through their lives. And similarly today, when the Apostolic is moving into new regions, trying to establish the work, we will find some amazing supernatural things take place because of the grace and the gifts of God which have been given and which are part of that calling. Now moving along, revelatory gifts of the Spirit. So under the revelatory gift, what comes there, we can have a deeper understanding of the Word of God and not just that the operation of the gifts of the Spirit and the revelatory gifts there where God releases prophetic words or discerning of what needs to be done and Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, revelation that God provides supernaturally to these people in order for them to do the work. So as I told us, even Macedonian call, now Paul is wondering, where do I go? What do I do? But God is working through revelation, helping him understand. And this equipping of the revelatory gifts is not just for direction, but also regarding the Word of God. I already said that we cannot get back into founding the Scriptures because it's already done. It's been established for us. But can the Scriptures have deeper understanding without changing the integrity of the Word of God? Yes, it's possible. As we go forward with God and in the moves of God, see for example, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, it was always there in the Bible. But something happened in the 1900s that people began to understand the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit at another level. So that's what I'm talking about. Through the apostolic, the revelation of certain truths can just come alive. We term it present truth. It doesn't mean the Bible has changed or the Scriptures have changed. No, we cannot do that. That would be an error. But with the integrity of Scripture, as the Holy Spirit breeds on us, as the move of God is upon us, there is a deeper understanding or an understanding at another level and God generally does that. So apostles are the ones who usually lead the way when it comes to such revelation. So that also is part of the apostolic ministry. So far, what did we see? We're called to specific work, specific people. They have a distinct work of establishing or building. There are open doors and they open up new territories for the Gospel. They're equipped with power gifts. They are the ones who have revelatory gifts. And let's move on. A few more features here. They establish strong leadership. They are equipped with strong leadership and administrative capacities. Why is this? Governments, apostolic has to do with governments. Let's quickly read 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and verse 28. Can somebody please turn to that? 1 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 28. Here are some of the parts God has appointed for the church. First are our causes, second are prophets, third are teachers.  Over here, we see that God has appointed these in the church. First are apostles, second prophets and then it goes on. We'll understand the meaning of it. It's not a gradation of the ministry gifts, but it's more like generally the apostle is the one who makes the way. So that's why we have the apostle listed there first and then the rest of the gifts follow over there. So when we look at this, we recognize that why does God appoint in this way? They kind of come first because they are stepping into the open door. They have the mindset that yes, this can be done or they are pioneers. That word pioneer best describes somebody who's an apostle. They think of new ways of taking the gospel out. So, for example, again, coming to today's terminology, how about doing something in technology for the gospel? Now, ordinarily, we may not think that we will maximize technology, but the apostolic things like that, why not go into new territory? Why not use technology? Why not do this? So they have strong, how do you say, they pioneer, but to actually make it happen in a proper way, they also carry governmental and administrative capabilities. So that's how they're able to steer, they're able to pilot or direct the work of God.  So generally, when we talk about apostle or you look at any apostle, you might think that strong personality, very determined, very clear, very, you could say, like a possibility thinker, visionary. So that kind of picture comes to our mind because they are capable of heading in a new direction and they carry the ability to lead people, they carry the ability to provide administrative support to the people who are following. Okay, so that is a feature of the apostolic governmental authority over churches. So in the Bible, when we look at the churches that were established, as I already said, Apostle James, he was the one who was heading up the Jerusalem Council when certain decisions were made in Acts chapter 15. But even otherwise, as you read the writings of Paul, he was instructing the churches. He had governmental authority over the churches, he was telling them, hey, this is right, this is wrong, do like this, don't do like that. You know, I'm pleased that you're doing like this, but I'm so sad that you're not honouring the Lord. So what is he doing? He's guiding, right? He's guiding. He's helping them stay aligned to the purpose of God. So appointing leaders, writing letters. Why do they write letters? They have established churches, people are born again. That's wonderful. Let's move on. No, you don't see that in the early church. They established churches, but even when Paul has gone far away, he is, you know, a couple of years ahead. What does he do? He's still thinking, oh, what happened to the church in Philippi? What happened to the church over here? What happened to the church? I heard that there's a church in Rome. He's never even been to the church in Rome, but he writes to them, to tell them, you know, these are the things about grace, these are the things about law, teaching them the truth, guiding them, having that governmental authority to instruct them, right? Because he carries a responsibility of establishing the churches in the right kind of, if you will, blueprint. We've done that in the house of God course, where we understand what the church is supposed to be. And an apostle carries that responsibility to ensure that the churches are aligned to the word of God, aligned to the doctrine. When things go right, wow. When things don't go right, sometimes they can be quite firm in, you know, instructing them and correcting them as well. Of course, in a loving way, which is how Paul actually guides us. So these are all things that they do as far as the government, exercising governmental authority over the church is concerned. Okay, and there are a lot of scriptures here. I would suggest that you go back and read them up. So even here, the scriptures mention appointing local leadership, there are scriptures establishing divine order in the church. You know, how should you take communion? What is the right way of taking communion? He gave them instructions, clear instructions, then bringing correction. He did that even from a distance sometimes. He had to tell them, oh Corinthians, you are so good in the gifts of the spirit, but you're also carnal. Okay, come on. This is how you should be. This is how you should operate in the gifts of the spirit. So he brought correction. He had responsibility to care for the churches as well.  There were also collections being taken to take to churches that were afflicted. So a lot is needed to be done as somebody who carries governmental authority and the apostles actually did it. Now, what are some of the other things that they did? So you notice there's so much that they're doing. So when you think of the apostolic, the picture we get is very strong, very decisive, having a direction, then establishing things as per the word of God. Okay, pioneering, they're moving in new territory and then establishing the kingdom, good administrative capacity. So it's a really powerful calling that God calls people into. Now, along with all this, there are those other features of they are able to teach, preach, because when you look at people like Peter, John, James, Paul, they were good teachers. They taught, they instructed, they strengthened the churches. They also, like when you look at Apostle Paul, he prayed for the churches. So these are all other accompanying things they teach, they pray, right? They really care for the church enough to actually pray for the churches. Not that I established the church in Philippi, now let me move on. I have another, you know, I have a list of churches under my name. That's not good enough, but they really, really pray. They want to see those churches having that, that, you know, character of Jesus. So hard work to ensure that the churches are built the right way. That is the apostolic calling. What else do they do? They are interested in imparting and activating spiritual gifts. We see Paul writing to the Roman church and he says, you know, I really look forward that I may come to you that I may impart the gift, right? That I may impart gifts to you. And that is the heart of Paul, where he wants them to go to the next level in the operation of the spiritual gifts. Okay. So they desire to strengthen the church in all these ways. Then they are involved in taking gospel out to the lost people, proclaiming the gospel that we've already seen. So under the apostolic, you would see that sometimes in people who carry this kind of a calling, they make big decisions. How do I reach the nation in a short period of time? Okay, I come up with this. Of course, being led by God, but they are very bold, very radical. Radical is the word that they want to reach, isn't it? They're willing to go the extra mile. They're willing to travel. They're willing to take risks. So this is how it comes across. So the apostolic calling has this image of if you, I don't know how to say it, but then when you have, let's say a forest area, okay? And that forest area has to be cleared up for a building to be built there. Then you know how you have machines, powerful machines which are used to cut down to be tall trees. And they're just breaking into the forest. That's the picture you get of the apostolic ministry, entering new territory. Even if people say you can't do it, the spirit they carry is, yeah, I can do it. God is telling me to do it. I'll go very bold, okay? So that's the picture of the apostolic calling and the apostolic ministry. And of course, this is the ultimate way in which it looks, but we can have expressions of it. You can even have a very mellow and calm person as an apostle as well. It's not about the personality. It's about the grace that they carry to do things for the kingdom of God, the way they can extend the kingdom, establish people of God in the word of God, in the things of God, so on and so forth. But the spiritual sense, it's the picture we should have, we say apostolic is pioneer, okay? Pioneer, taking new territories, establishing kingdom values. So that's the picture that we should have in our minds. So what else do we see? Some of the other features of apostles, they were able to work with other apostles. So notice how Paul always lists out, oh, I want to thank so and so, I want to thank, you know, this apostle or that leader. So in the early church, these apostles were not like the sole leaders. Somewhere we get this picture that everyone was going behind Paul and Paul is the ultimate, there's nobody else. Not true. And we see they were working with others also. There were not just other apostles that Paul was associated with, but there were, you know, elders in the church. So they're all these positions of leadership. So it's more like a teamwork. Yeah, the calling is a strong calling. But how do you think you can establish a work unless you know how to relate with a whole set of people, a whole bunch of people. So that is something that we see in scripture. So today in our times, somewhere we have this understanding, oh, the apostle is a very strong personality. They will lead everything on their own. It won't work. And that's not the example we get in the Bible. So apostles, they related with other apostles. You see, even when that circumcision issue happened, Paul, he took it to the Jerusalem. He took it to Jerusalem apostles. Those apostles also did not decide on their own. They said, okay, let's have a council. So other leaders, elders were also there in that team. So there was a huge team of leaders who sat and discussed. Then as the Holy Spirit, if you read that passage, you see that they made a decision as the Holy, please the Holy Spirit and it pleased everyone. So with consensus, they made decisions. So there was an incredible teamwork, which also happened. Right. So apostles calling is not like a standalone calling. Now, moving on apostles, they were the target of persecution that we have said. And especially for the apostle, there were challenges. Like if you look at the journey of Paul, even in Corinth, there was a time when he only became very afraid because of the kind of opposition that was rising up. And you know, people, the mobs were rising up against him. And at that time you read that God came to him and said, don't be afraid. You know, I have others here. So God only had to encourage him. So being an apostle and you know, pioneering things without always be easy. So there are what we call as the tough things of apostleship where it can get very hard at some points. But what gives the grace, right? But these apostles need to have that ability to depend on God in these difficult times where maybe we're not able to penetrate into a territory or God there. And then there are other challenges or there's persecution. People are rising up against us, whatever it is to be able to bear all that and still keep the work going. There we talk about the sufferings of apostleship. One needs to have that ability to not give up. Yeah. And generally apostles, as we see in the Bible, they became mentors. They became, you can use the term fathers to many others. So when you read about Apostle Paul. You also read about the Timothy and the Titus and all those other names come along. Why? They invested in others. They groomed other leaders, younger leaders. They gained confidence in the work of the ministry and that way, what happened? People could follow their example and continue the work of God. So they left, they instructed those who were rising up well. You see Timothy, Second Timothy, beautifully Paul enlist so many things which are required for Timothy to prepare him. So how is he acting? What is the role that he's taking up as a spiritual father?  So in that manner, in the spiritual sense, the apostles raise up many leaders. Okay, sons and daughters, if you want to call them. So that also is part of the apostolic calling. So just want to pause here. Any clarity coming through where you're able to get a picture? What is this apostolic ministry? How long is it going to take to complete apostolic ministry? I hope it's forming a picture in your mind. Is it okay? Okay, thank you. How about the others? I just feel like they do everything. Yeah, you could say so. Yeah, the apostolic is like that. It's a very pioneering role, pioneering, powerful. Okay, come on, let's go ahead. So now that we have talked about the apostolic and the apostle, you know, it feels like this very grand personality or a person that God is using to extend his kingdom. But like every other calling in the Word of God, nobody arrives, you know, right after they are born into the kingdom. We know that God is a God who takes everyone through preparation. And we've said this, the greater the calling, the greater the preparation. Okay, God takes us all through preparation. But especially when it comes to, let's say, people who are in the offices. God puts them through a lot of preparation because for the anointing of the lot to be poured out, you need, for the new wine to be poured out, you need the new wine skin. And for the forming of the new wine skin, or new wine skin is what it's godly character. It takes a while. It takes, you know, the decisions of that person to align themselves to what God is doing in their lives. So God has to work so much in that person to first prepare the person. And when the person is prepared, then they can carry the calling, they can carry the anointing, they can serve the Lord. Okay, so that's how God usually works. So when it comes to the forming of an apostle or the shaping up of an apostle, it doesn't happen overnight. God puts them, at least from what we learn in the Bible, there is a good training that the individual has to go through. So if you look at the life of Apostle Paul, this again, all of you probably have done it in fulfilling God's purpose for your life book. Paul had a long journey. And this journey can be categorized as far as the apostolic is concerned as the commissioning. So in Acts chapter 9, when he encounters God, at that point came the commissioning. Maybe even he didn't have an idea, and we see how God speaks to Ananias and he says, Oh, this man, I'm going to use him like this. So God gives that revelation to Ananias. And ultimately, you know, Paul understands, he understands the calling, the commissioning. God is calling him to do something. So it starts with the commissioning, but that's not the end of the story. Then the grace of God has to increase on that person's life, that particular calling. So the apostolic grace increased over Paul's life. Now, in that period of the apostolic grace increasing, we will see that all his ministry was not public. A lot of what he did was, you know, in an obscure kind of a setting where people didn't give him much importance. But ultimately, it was Barnabas who went, he brought him and then we see the apostolic ministry begin to emerge right through Paul's life. And so he starts doing things. He starts going to different places and he starts preaching and the supernatural works of God take place. He establishes churches. He instructs churches and keeps moving to new territory and engages in the doctrine, writes the epistles. So much work is done. That's when we are able to recognize, oh, look at what is coming out of his life and his ministry.  So that's how the journey of the life of an apostle is. You start with commissioning, but to reach that position or calling or the fullness of that calling to be an apostle, it took years of journey with God and working with that grace of God upon his life to be able to do what God called him to do. So these are the sections. Apostolic commissioning, apostolic grace, apostolic ministry and finally the apostle. Now, I've told you the different sections, but I'm just going to sum up the journey of Paul. We know that he probably encountered the Lord Jesus at the age of 33 or around thereabouts in Damascus and later it took several years of equipping before he came into the apostolic ministry. So what happened right after that? He received this commission. Initially, for about three years, he was in the regions of Damascus and Arabia. He wanted to do ministry. We are quite clear on that when we read about him, but people were not willing to accept him because he was a persecutor turned a proclamer of the gospel. So then people were very suspicious of this individual known as Paul. So for three years, he just spent time in Damascus and Arabia because he was not accepted by the people even though he wanted to talk about Jesus and what Jesus did in his life. And after this, we are told that he visited Jerusalem for 15 days and even there it was not a very friendly environment for him. People wanted to kill him. So then he moves on to Tarsus. That's where he stays for a while and a very long while. 13 years is what is estimated for Paul's time in the region of Tarsus, Syria and Silesia. So notice how he was commissioned but three years in Damascus, Arabia, 13 years in Tarsus, Syria, Silesia, 16 years already. Now Paul may have thought, what is happening? Why am I not an apostle yet? Why am I not able to lead churches? Why are people not accepting me? But there's a preparation which he is going through. Now it's towards the end of these 13 years in that Tarsus, Syria, Silesia region that Barnabas comes and takes him to Antioch, one of thriving churches. And there one year Paul spends teaching the word of God. Then what happens? Then is when you have at the end of 17 years, 17 years where God that acts after 13 happens, when they are ministering to the Lord as a leadership team in the church of Antioch where God says, ok, set apart for me Paul and Barnabas for the ministry to which I have, call them. So that is the beginning of the actual apostolic ministry of Paul. Up until that time, what did Paul do? How many churches did he establish? What did he teach? We actually don't have an idea. We are in the biblical texts.  So from the time of the calling, ultimately after 17 years is when Paul is taking up the first missionary journey with Barnabas. So it's taking that much time. Now is it going to take that much time for every apostle? No, only God knows individuals. He knows the timelines. He knows the kind of preparation they need to go through because he knows the kind of work that they have to handle. But here's the point. For any calling, God doesn't launch the person the next day. We all have to journey through our own plan of preparation that God has for each one of us, whatever that calling is. And if it is a great calling, if we are called into, let's say, I'm just using the term great calling for our understanding, but every calling is great. But especially in the offices, then there's an incredible amount of preparation that goes in. Then yes, after that 17 years, you find that finally the missionary journeys start taking off and the rest is history. But from Paul's example, as an apostle, we recognize that God is not in a hurry. We may want to jump in right away, but it cannot happen. We have to take God's path in order to fulfill any calling of God. So what I will do is I think I will stop today and let you all think there's so much we have discussed. You may want to revisit all these concepts again, maybe listen to the lectures again. And let's come back next week. We will talk some more. If I'm able to summarize all the key points within next class, hopefully I think we can wrap up our talk on Apostolic ministry. And another thing that I'm attempting to do is I'm attempting to put up your question paper, your final question paper as soon as possible. So by next week, I want that to be out so that you can start working on your second assignment and your first assignment marks also will hopefully come through by next week. So then you have enough time to study your portions well, answer your questions and successfully complete this course and semester. So as we stop right now, any thoughts, questions, clarification, what do you feel about the role of an Apostle? Yes brother. I was eagerly waiting for this pastor. I'm glad to know, but was it helpful? Was it helpful? I think it was and is and I think it will still be helpful. Wonderful. Praise God. Any questions?  I'm scared to call anyone Apostle here. Okay, so yeah, so Jeffina, I think she would need a little more time and so does everyone. So what we can do is we can go back and study whatever has been discussed so far. It'll give an idea and then also if you have any practical questions, you bring those questions next class, we'll try and answer them. So for now, let's pray and close. Would somebody like to lead in prayer please? Let's pray. But we want to thank you for this time of learning. We thank you that you're teaching us your word in a beautiful level of God. We pray to God that we would understand the significance of each ministry that you are revealed to us, you have revealed to us in the new covenant. We pray to God that we would equip ourselves to the work of the ministry of God, that help our lives to be an example in front of people. In front of you or God, we pray that we would be placing you in all that we do, Lord Jesus. We thank you for this time of learning. Ambulances once again before your presence in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you, John. And feel free in case you needed to leave the class and go on to the next class. I noticed brother success has a question, so I'll just take that question and then I will end this call. Yes. Thank you so much, Ma. You just asked a question under my system was having to shake. The course is okay. It's very good, but I still need the if where there is a way we can also pray together because I still need that fire more. When we meet like this, I feed the fire but I still need more fire. If there is another course, maybe another semester, they can put a prayer prayer section. That would be very, very wonderful. Corporate prayer helps a lot in this particular course and ministry. Thank you so much. Yes, brother success. We understand that and I will take your feedback to our faculty. Let's see what best we can do in the coming semester. Thank you. So thank you everyone. Have a blessed day. God bless. We'll catch up again next Wednesday. Take care. Bye. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


If we're going to build offline applications, we need to store more than static assets. We need to store data. One of the best places to do this is in a database. Hi, I'm Sarah Clark, and I'm here to introduce you to IndexedDB. Let's start with what IndexedDB isn't. It's not a relational database and it doesn't use SQL. You could build these features on top of it, but that's not what you get right out of the box. IndexedDB is an object store. It holds JavaScript objects. You can store objects, strings, arrays, numbers, anything that can be cloned, even files. You can do basic searching and sorting, as long as you're not writing a complex query. It even supports transactions. When you open a database, you can add data to it directly, but you'll more commonly create an object store and add the data there. Each database can have multiple object stores. They're a little like a table. For example, there could be a user's object store containing user profile data. While the object store will assign a unique key to each user object, you can also define indices such as index by email address. You can then use the index to retrieve the data in the object store by the email as well as the unique key. Let's look at an object store for a set of musicians. We've defined the key to be the artist name, which we extract from the name property in an object. We could set indices on the other properties if we want, although here we're not. It's time to look at some actual code. The raw index DB API is a bit tricky to work with. It's an older asynchronous API that uses callbacks and fires events to signal completion and errors. To make things easier, we'll use the index DB promised library, a small wrapper around the index DB API that uses promises. This was written by Jake Archibald here at Google and is open source. If you want to see the original API, MDN has an excellent write-up. We're going to follow the usual pattern of opening a database and creating object stores. We'll then populate those stores with data. IDB.open creates or opens a database. It takes a name, version number, and an optional callback function to manage the object stores. It also returns a promise. Why use a callback function here? The object stores can only be created and destroyed during the open call. Putting them in a trailing promise would be too late. The upgrade callback is only called when the database is first created or if the version number is greater than the existing version, namely an upgrade. The next step is to create the object stores. Before I show you some code, let's talk about what goes into each object store. You want all the objects in a store to have the same format so you can index them. Some objects may have extra properties, but you want the core properties to all be the same. Now that's out of the way, let's take a look in the upgrade callback. Inside the upgrade callback, we'll receive an upgrade database object. We can then create the object store by calling create object store. If we try to create an existing object store, we'll get an error. So remember to check the object store names first. Like any other database, each object store can have a primary key. This is a value that uniquely identifies each object in the store. If you want a primary key, you need to define it when you create the object store. You do this by passing an options object after the name. In the first example, we're using an email address as the key. The email address has to be unique for each object. The second and third examples use a key generator to assign a serial number to each object. The second example stores the number separate from the object, and the third example stores it in the object's ID property. Sometimes you want to search on something other than the primary key. You can do this by adding an index for another property. Indexing makes lookups faster, but it also makes the database larger, so I use these with care. To create the indexes, call create index on the object store. In this example, we're adding an email index to the store. We can add the unique, colon true option to make sure each address is unique. You can also add a multi entry option for arrays. This chooses between indexing every value in the array or treating the whole array as a key. Now that we have a database with object stores, let's see how to get data in and out. Index DB supports the usual CRUD operations, create, retrieve, update, and delete. It also uses transactions to group these operations together. These operations should look pretty familiar. Add, get, put, delete, and get all, do what you expect. Now cursor is something different. It extracts values by index or key. You have to wrap the operations in a transaction. This groups the operations together so they happen as a unit, such as reading a value, modifying it, and writing it back. Transactions help ensure the database is always in a consistent state. They're also important if you have multiple copies of your app running as they prevent simultaneous writes to the same data. When you work with the transaction, you first open a transaction on the database. Transactions may be read only or read write. You then open any object stores and indices you will need. Finally, you can perform the operations. It seems like a lot of steps, but it's needed to preserve the integrity of the database. Let's look at adding data. Remember that we're using Jake's promise wrapper so the database itself is delivered inside a promise. We let it resolve, create a read write transaction, then open the object store. Now we can add our value. Notice that we're returning transaction.complete at the end. This is a promise that settles when the transaction is done or has an error. It's important to wait for this when a transaction changes the database. Getting data is a bit simpler. Open a transaction and the object store, then call get. You don't have to wait for the transaction to complete as you're only reading. Getting the data is a good enough result. By the way, you may wonder when the transaction closes. IndexedDB manages transaction lifetimes automatically. You can safely assume they're closed by the next time the browser enters the idle loop. Updating data looks just like adding data, except that we're using put instead of add. This could be made into a read modify write operation by calling get, updating the object, and then writing it all in the same transaction. Call delete to remove an item. By now you should see the pattern. Since it changes the database, you need to wait for the transaction to complete. We haven't talked about how to search yet. IndexedDB lets you get a block of data based on a key or index. Any fancy you're searching is up to you. The easiest way to get all the data in an array is by calling get all. Since this is a read-only transaction, you don't need to wait for it to complete. Another way to retrieve all of the data is to use a cursor. A cursor will select each object in an object store or index sequentially, allowing you to do something with each element. Once we get a cursor, we need to use it to read each element. This is a bit tricky. Essentially, you want a loop to get the value from the cursor, exit if the cursor is null, and call continue to advance the cursor. This is one of those rare spots where using promises makes things more complicated. This time, we've given our function a name so we can call it from inside of itself recursively. To recap what this code is doing, we break out if the cursor is null. Otherwise, we get the object from the cursor's value property and print it. We then call continue to advance the cursor and recurs into our function. Take a moment and breathe, we're almost done. We don't have to get all the data. We can select a subset. Both open cursor and get all will take an IDB key range value to select a subset of values. You can specify any one of these three, lower bound, upper bound, or plain bound with a lower and upper value. There's also an only method that's not shown here. And here we are. If we wanted all products from Soda and later, sorted alphabetically, this is how we would do it. We would create a range with a lower bound and pass it to get all. We're about to get to the lab, but first you may want to check out some of these polyfills and tools. These make index DB easier to use. Now it's your turn. Go to the index DB lab. In there, you will get to practice and experiment with everything we've talked about here. Have fun and thanks for watching.


In entertainment news, now the family of Israeli writer who's article inspired the 1986 Tom Cruise movie Top Gun, is shown in film studio Paramount Pictures for copyright infringement over its sequel. They claim the studio did not have the right to e-heard you noise a 1983 story Top Gun when it released the sequel Top Gun Maverick Last Month. The film earned $548 million globally in its first 10 days of release. The Paramount says the claim was without merit and vowed to contest it.


I'm Rob Jann from Dynatrace. I'm a technical alliance manager and I work closely with Red Hat to evangelize our Better Together story. So with the OpenShift platform, driving innovation, as well as Dynatrace bringing advanced observability, we're really helping customers transform faster. So today I'm going to talk a bit about one of our customers, Portion from Attic, who's partnered with both us and OpenShift to kind of talk about their journey. So if I can, well, guys, we'll work on the slides. But anyway, just keep moving along with our lightning round. So, you know, within the automotive industry, this is where Portion from Attic is an IT provider really delivering software services to that industry. So their software is really driving what's happening in the automotive industry in particular between the megatrends of connected cars, autonomous driving, electric vehicles. And all this is really driven by software. So that software is driving the transformation of these industries. We heard it a bit about with the bank just now. And so Portion from Attic, as they're pushing transformation into the automotive industry through their services, they really needed to do something to really help drive the customer experience improvements. So what they did is they really shifted over to OpenShift for the containerized environment platform. That was the underpinning of that. And as they shifted with OpenShift platform, they really got greater agility and scalability with Kubernetes orchestrated platform. And it really helped them to deliver things faster. So as we just heard in the last example, being able to deploy apps faster really brings these services to the customers a lot faster than the legacy applications. So with them in particular, here we go. Let's see if I can get my slides out for you all. Hopefully this will work. There we go. All right. So let me get that off so you guys can see my slides. Okay, there you go. So there are some slides that kind of go along with what I'm talking about. But really what Portion from Attic is transforming, to meet these transettes is describing. And as they went through that shift, they really were trying to get greater agility with their continuous integration and delivery pipelines as a result of having a containerized platform. And they really were reducing that delivery time. So that meant as they were relying on these solutions, they still needed to address though the complexity introduced by this containerized platform, more distributed applications. And so that's where Dynatrace comes in. So with Dynatrace, we're really partnering with Red Hat because we have a fully automated agent rule out that goes out into the environment through the operator model that you guys know. And at the heart of Dynatrace is an AI engine. So as we're drawing in the AI-assisted answers from user sessions real-time, distributed tracing real-time, it really allows them to optimize their code and get to the innovations more quickly. So in turn, this is driving DevOps to deliver things faster, reducing mean time to resolution as a result of these new features that they're introducing. And we're really hoping to accelerate the pace of innovation with Red Hat. So we're proud to be partners. We love that OpenShift users can really get the benefits of advanced observability with Dynatrace. You can check us out on the Red Hat Marketplace to learn about our product, to get a free trial, to see how we're working better together. And if you're here, some of you guys are here in person at KubeCon, so we also have a booth, so feel free to step down, see a demo, and see what we're all about. So thank you very much for the lighting round. Hopefully we'll keep the lightning... I hear it's one of the most fabulous booths on the entire show for. Alex from Bales, you're up. Come on up here. Alright. Thank you very much.
