Abstract
The following topics are discussed: galactic extinction, primary distance indicators, distance moduli in the Local and Sculptor groups, luminosity index, HI line width, velocity dispersion, sosies, supernovae, Malmquist bias, distance to the Hercules supercluster and Hubble constant. The best estimate is still 90 ≦ H0 ≦ 100.
