.... Huh. Jeez, only after sitting down to comment did I realize just how much there is to unpack with this page. Looot of stuff that's just been implied is finally being just outright said. Okay...
This is one of those "scenes planned since the start of the chapter" pages, as it goes into sort of the wider significance of bringing back Decay Conductor. As Lore mentioned, the person who stopped her last time was Marvelous Man. He was a tier above so many other heroes in terms of sheer raw power, and she was able to come very close to killing him. That establishes her as a high-level threat, which Marvelous Man is no longer around to fight. The reason so many other heroes have popped up trying to fight Decay Conductor is to just illustrate how serious his absence really is. Without him around to handle this threat, other heroes have to rise to the challenge, and many of them are falling far short.
That's already humbling for most other heroes, but it hits especially hard to the kids and even moreso to Lore. Part of removing Marvelous Man was done with them assuming they could take his place and it's now becoming clear that the job is more demanding than they thought. That alone isn't enough to make them give up, obviously, but it's a sort of hard thought. I wanted to make it clear where Lore is coming from when she sums up that she views Decay Conductor as her responsibility.
That's also why Lore is so confrontational with Protocol. In general I think Lore probably has some self-esteem issues that rear up when she's being supervised by someone she doesn't trust. Protocol being around made her genuinely question if she's good enough for the job and that's what causes her to lash out. Still not a good quality to have, hence why it's important she walks past it.
Speaking of, I do like that she asks Andy for his honest opinion on if she's doing that, and that she doesn't even refute it when she hears it. Just a quick moment that shows their relationship.
But the big one.... Lemme link back to the page where Alex and Grant had this discussion....
http://bluebloodheroes.thecomicseries.com/comics/693
Like I said when we did the stats, Grant's intelligence score is rooted in ethical thinking and a sort of greater awareness of the consequences of peoples' actions. I think he was starting to put together over the course of this fight that the only way Decay Conductor could potentially be stopped might be by killing her. She can turn prison cells to dust and casually stroll out. She can transform handcuffs into water. There's no really safe way to contain her long enough for arrest, let alone long term.
Hell, go back a couple of pages in this chapter and you can see when this thought hits him.
I just like this idea coming up and that Grant would be the one to naturally realize it might be the only way going forward. It feels like a realistic flow of events, especially the horror and hesitation it brings on.
Hell, when I wrote the script for this page I was so happy with the dark tone that I asked Martin if the caretaker bit was undercutting it too much. I'm actually really glad its here since it throws a really welcome relief into the subject. Plus I just absolutely love the gag. ^^

Sort of funny, I was fully behind this joke but there was some stuff after this I suggested be rewritten for various reasons. We'll go into that when the time comes though.
Also kind of funny - this is the first actual public show we've done of Dorothy's new eye style... and it's almost entirely hidden by the glasses. Guess kind of a tease for seeing them properly in Monday's WaR page I suppose.
Actually kind of funny is that redoing a different panel from that same scene with Alex and Grant was what we used as kind of a test drive for the thicker lines when we started sipping our toes into that a bit. Weird how often we've come around to that scene of late I guess.... particularly given the pair of WaR chapters Grant was in were in many ways an outright sequel to that one. And even then the train stuff directly leads into what Alex has coming up next so.... Yeah, I'm getting off topic.
Either way, yeah, am hoping everyone enjoys this sequence, think it hits a good balance between being serious and introspective while also being rendered silly by where it happens to be taking place.

These are dark greyish flies abo ut 8mm long with yellowish hairs on the back with over lapping wings.
They are slow moving when in flight and are a nuisance in the house.
If cluster flies have found their way into buildings to hibernate they can be difficult to control, because they search out difficult to reach spaces. It is essential to seal as many openings as possible to prevent the flies from entering the building. If this is not a practical option, treatments of i.e. the loft space, can be carried out with an appropriate insecticide preparation that will fill and treat the entire void space area.
PLEASE NOTE: loft spaces can be roosts for bats. An inspection for bats must be carried out first, before any treatment.
Infestations can be controlled through surface sprays and specialist crack and crevice treatments.


As of May 2011, PJ's appears to have closed.
Scooter's 759th bar, first visited in 2010.
This strip mall sports bar is really showing its age, but it's not a bad place to stop in and have some cheap drinks. There's a bit of a musty smell but that didn't really bother me.
The bar is long and L-shaped. The venue is fairly large — much bigger than it looks from the outside. There's a couple of pool tables, MegaTouch, several tables, and an area for live music and dancing. Karaoke was underway during my visit.
I've seen this place packed several times while driving by, but on the particular Friday night I visisted there were only a handful of people in the bar.

Q: Creating Custom "new" LIST button for custom object I have a junction object called relationships. It is tied to Projects and Accounts. I am just trying to create a custom list button that adds a new record.
So far I have this:
window.open("{!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New)}");
Settings are on execute javascript but I tried all the other settings too. It always leads to a broken page. Have tried many variations--anyone have any advice on how to simply create a new record? The reason I do not want to use the original "New Relationship" button is because I want to change the label to something more custom "New Account" on the project object, and "New Project" on the account object.
thanks!

A: the URL for parameter requires two inputs, the Action, and the ID for the record.
When I do what you have I get a JS error. However when I do this I get the correct URL:
window.open("{!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New,null)}");

If you want to see what is being returned to troubleshoot use this:
alert("{!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New,null)}");

Then copy and past the url and see where it takes you.

A: Here are steps to implement.

*

*List View button

*Behaviour : Display in existing window without sidebar and header

*Content Source : URL

Here 'a2A' is custom object first 3 characters of id.

A: The following did the trick as per the help above. I had some issues in the code.
Settings:
1. Behaviour : Display in existing window without sidebar and header
2. Content Source : URL
3. Code: {!URLFOR($Action.Relationship__c.New,null)}; –

Syndic No.27 ~ Easy Essays No.6 "Religious & Academic Entitlement"
Religious & Academic Entitlement
By LeRoy Chatfield
I never attended a non-religious school until the early 1960s, when I spent two summer quarters at Stanford University taking courses in their department of education.
The rest of my education was received in Catholic Schools – elementary (1940s), high school (late 1940s, early 1950s), and college (mid 1950s). But overlaid on this Catholic School education was an intense 24/7 nine-year period (1949-1957) devoted to the practice and training to live as a religious monk. The prescribed rule of conduct and the daily regimen for this education had first been set out in the 1680s by a priest from Rheims France named John Baptist De La Salle who founded a religious teaching order that came to be known as the Brothers of the Christian Schools.
In turn, his rule – as did that of most other religious orders – borrowed heavily from the Rule of St. Benedict, which was written in the middle of the 6th Century. In effect, all my teenage and college years of religious training were based on a regimen dating back at least 15 centuries.
In addition to receiving a traditional and classic education, living the life of a religious monk at such a young age provided me with some extraordinary learning opportunities – how to live with other males in community, how to meditate, how to study, how to set goals and apportion time efficiently, how to perform manual labor, how to make my bed, dress myself, take care of my clothing, etc., how to be silent, how to listen, how to sing Gregorian Chant in choir and perform liturgical services, and I learned how to set personal boundaries, to respect authority and tradition, to develop a code of personal discipline and the need for accountability.
On the other hand, I received no training in interacting with or being in the company of females, I learned almost nothing about the social graces associated with living outside a monastery, nor did I receive any education about human sexuality except the often repeated warnings about forming particular friendships. (While never explicitly stated, the fear was such exclusive friendships could lead to homosexuality).
However, the one attribute from my religious monastic experience that impacted me the most and stayed with me long after I had moved on to a new life with new careers and married responsibilities was that of entitlement. I felt entitled. Sad to report, I feel entitled.
Entitlement is a two-edge sword. It can generate a sense of empowerment that is a powerful motivator to accomplish the seemingly impossible; it does not accept no as a final answer. I can do this! I will do this! I have to do this! I deserve this! I will work harder than others! I will overcome! In defeat are sown the seeds of victory! Si Se Puede!
The other edge: I am better than others! I have been chosen and called to do this! The work I undertake is more valuable than the work others choose! I am right when all others are wrong!
In my case the entitlement stemmed from the religious notion of being called to service: God has chosen me and I have responded. In fact, the Catholic Church makes just such a distinction in its explanation of the hierarchical importance of its members.
The clerical state: ordained priests, men and women of religious orders who have taken vows of poverty, chastity and obedience are placed in the highest status of church membership. They have responded to the call of dedicating their lives to the service of God and have pledged to live a life of celibacy.
The laity: non-clerical members of the church who have been baptized and follow its tenets and for the most part seek the married life.
Additionally, the Church ranks a life of celibacy higher than a life of marriage.
Throughout my monastic religious training, this hierarchical ranking of clerical (special!) vs laity (ordinary!) was reinforced in ways both obvious and subtle.
For example, the religious monastic state required the participant to leave the world and his/her family behind, to forsake the family name for a new name given by religious superiors; to wear a religious uniform that set one apart from those in the non-religious state who wear traditional clothing. Visiting family and relatives was infrequent, highly regulated and took place in a monitored environment.
Essentially, I learned that if I wanted to live in the highest-ranked church status, it was necessary to leave any previous life and create a new one that was superior.
This sense of entitlement carried over into my religious teaching career. Because of my status, I expected to be treated with deference and respect not only by students but by their parents, relatives and the public-at-large. I was not to be contradicted and my classroom decisions were deemed to be final. Because of my higher church status, I deserved this special treatment.
However, as I found during the course of my postgraduate work at Stanford University, a sense of personal entitlement is found not only in religion but also in academia. In my first class, taught by a visiting professor from McGill University, I was informed that because I had been accepted by Stanford, I was in a privileged academic category. His reasoning went something like this: Stanford accepted only the most qualified, the highest ranked and the most deserving applicants, therefore it was incumbent on him to treat us as such and he intended to do so.
If we deigned to attend his class on a more or less regular basis, we would automatically earn a C grade. Further, if we participated in the class, we would receive a B grade. In addition, those who turned in the prescribed "papers" would receive an A grade. Mind you! This was the early 1960s, many decades before any type of grade inflation was tolerated in academia.
In essence, this well-known and highly regarded professor was simply acknowledging the obvious – graduate students accepted into Stanford had already been judged to be the best and were entitled to receive special treatment – in his class this was his way of showing his respect for their privileged status.
Today, at age 85, I still wrestle with and try to check my feelings of entitlement. I know better but having had centuries-old religious entitlement drummed into me is not easy to shake off. Let's just say I am in recovery and it is one day at a time.

Sledding video production crews run the full gamut, from groups of friends riding together and capturing footage to full-blown professional operations producing commercial products. Somewhere in the middle is the White Dumpster crew based out of northwest Montana.
The crew has been publishing sledding videos as White Dumpster on YouTube since 2016, and they've recently released their 2018 season edit entitled, We Out Here. The footage follows the gang as they shred some of the very deep snow that was present in Winter 2018-19.
Mountain Sledder contacted producer, Travis Berro, to find out more about White Dumpster and their latest production.
MS: First things first—how did your crew come up with the name 'White Dumpster'?
TB: We wanted something off the wall and original, but simple and bold at the same time. Snow is white and it dumps. White Dumpster.
MS: How was it that the White Dumpster crew came to ride together in the beginning? Are you friends from way back, or have you gotten together through snowmobiling?
TB: It's a combination of both. Three of us attended college for engineering at Michigan Technological University in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where we rode 3-4 times a week. We separately moved to different areas of NW Montana, then all ended up around the Flathead Valley. Since moving here we've met other like-minded folks through the local snowmobile scene, social media, at the trailhead and on the RMSHA circuit.
MS: Being based in Montana, is most of your riding done in your home state?
TB: Yes, most of our riding is done in northwest Montana. The snow has been so good the last few years, so we haven't wanted to leave. It look us years of exploring to find all the honey holes of our local areas, which allows us to focus on filming.
MS: No need to hand out any secret spots, but do you have any favourite riding areas that are well-known?
TB: We are sworn to secrecy by the locals, but we do enjoy taking a trip to Revelstoke a few times a year. It's fun to ride the more open terrain that Revelstoke has to offer vs. our very technical tree riding of northwest Montana.
MS: In the Winter 2018 edit, we see the crew discussing the avalanche forecast, making a plan and performing a transceiver check before heading out for the day. What resources do you use to help understand the avalanche hazard where you ride?
TB: We are very fortunate to have the Flathead Avalanche Center here in the valley that is committed to posting detailed avalanche forecasts everyday. They are an excellent resource for staying on top of the conditions. We also pay attention to the weather patterns throughout the seasons, even on days we don't ride, to try to keep up with the changing snowpack. We use an app called 'Avalanche Forecasts' by Sebnarware that ties into our local avalanche center. It is a very easy-to-use app that covers every forecast center in North America.
MS: How do you and the other riders find the time to commit to filming and producing edits?
TB: It is a huge time commitment—from setting up the shots down to the editing. When the snow is really good, it is hard to stop the group and take out the cameras. We love sharing our photos and videos with other sledders, our skier friends, and our families, so it's all worth it in the end.
MS: It looks like much of the We Out Here edit was filmed in deep, mid-storm snow. What are your favourite conditions to ride and film?
TB: Our favorite conditions are bluebird and pow. Nothing results in more high fives. But as we are usually weekend warriors, we don't get to choose the days we ride. Winter 2018 dumped snow non-stop on us, so we kept at it, no matter the conditions. We ended up with one of the deepest snowpacks in the country, so it felt like the whole season was mid-storm.
MS: Are there plans to produce a feature-length film at any time?
TB: Yes. Keep your eyes peeled in Fall of 2019. We have some great riders and locations lined up to make this happen.
MS: What does the White Dumpster crew have planned for this upcoming winter?
TB: We are currently working on the outline for the season. We are excited to be throwing a leg over new sleds this year, and expanding our riding crew. Our film equipment is expanding allowing us to capture new perspectives we haven't presented yet.

Q: Nodejs Post to Neo4j UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning & DeprecationWarning errors I am using NodeJs v8.9.4 & Neo4j 3.5.5. My neo4j database is on Graphenedb & my app is on Heroku, but the issue exists on my local app and db as well.
Up until last week, the code below has been working with no problem at all. I have been able to post to my neo4j database using my nodejs app.
Problem: When I use my app to post or create a new node in neo4j, I receive the following errors:
(node:12184) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): ReferenceError: err is not defined
(node:12184) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.
POST /beer/add - - ms - -
Again, I have never seen these errors until last week.
I can Get and read data from my neo4j db into my app no problem. I've tried running the same Post from my local app to a local neo4j db. Again, this used to work no problem, up until last week, but it won't work locally either. My code has not changed at all. I can provide more of my server.js code or index.ejs code if necessary.
server.js file
const driver = neo4j.driver('bolt://localhost:7687', neo4j.auth.basic('neo4j','neo4j'));

//Post to create beer node
app.post('/beer/add', async (req, res) => {
  const {beername, abv, ibu, rating, beertypename, breweryname} = req.body;
  try {
    const result = await session.run('Match (bt:BeerType {name: {beertypenameParam}}), (bry:Brewery {name: {brewerynameParam}}) Create (bt)<-[r:IS_A]-(b:Beer {name: {beernameParam},ABV:{abvParam},IBU:{ibuParam},Rating:{ratingParam}})<-[r2:BREWS]-(bry) Set b.date = apoc.date.format(timestamp(),"ms","MM/dd/yyyy"),b.Uid = apoc.create.uuid() Return bt,b,bry', {beertypenameParam:beertypename,brewerynameParam:breweryname,beernameParam:beername, abvParam:abv, ibuParam:ibu, ratingParam:rating})
    if (result) {
      res.redirect('/');
      session.close()
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(err)
  };
});

I expect the //Post to create beer node code above to create a new node/object, but it does not. However, I can still create relationships/edges using my app. For example, executing the following code to create a relationship between 2 nodes/objects in my app works fine...
server.js file
//Post to create relationship between beer and seller
app.post('/beer/seller/add',async (req, res) => {
  const {beername, sellername} = req.body;
  try {
    const result = await session.run('Match (b:Beer {name:{beernameParam}}),(s:Seller {name:{sellernameParam}}) Create (b)-[r:PURCHASED_FROM]->(s) Return b,s', {beernameParam:beername, sellernameParam:sellername});
    if (result) {
      res.redirect('/');
      session.close()
    }
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(err)
  };
});

How can I fix my //Post to create beer node code?

A: The problem is in this line:
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(err)
  };

This will generate a syntax error when run - err is not defined, but e is. I'm guessing up until the past week, your code has never generated an error that has been caught by the try/catch.


Following the first legal case involving a supplier of illegal IPTV boxes enabling viewers to watch unauthorised content, a man has been sentenced to four years imprisonment.
Mr Terry O'Reilly was today sentenced to four years in prison and a second supplier who worked with O'Reilly, Mr Will O'Leary, pleaded guilty and received a two-year suspended prison sentence.
The Premier League brought a prosecution against O'Reilly and O'Leary after the pair were discovered to be selling devices to pubs and consumers which facilitated mass piracy, including the broadcasting of Premier League football on unauthorised foreign channels. The prosecution was supported by FACT following an early investigation by PIPCU.
The case was heard at Nottingham Crown Court where O'Leary and O'Reilly were both convicted for Conspiracy to Defraud.
The Premier League was represented by David Groome and Ari Alibhai of QEB Hollis Whitman.
Premier League Director of Legal Services, Kevin Plumb, said: "Like other creative industries the Premier League's model is predicated on the ability to market and sell rights and protect its intellectual property. It is because of this that clubs can invest in star players and managers, and world class stadiums – the very things fans enjoy about our competition.
"This case is particularly important as it is the first involving sellers of so-called IPTV devices which enable people to watch illegal content. The Courts have provided a clear message: this is against the law and selling systems which allow people to watch unauthorised Premier League broadcasts is a form of mass piracy and is sufficiently serious to warrant a custodial sentence.
FACT Director General, Kieron Sharp said: "As the first sentencing of IPTV boxes in England, today's result should send a hard-hitting message to anyone involved in selling illegally modified set-top boxes. The sale and distribution of these boxes, which are loaded with infringing apps and add-ons allowing access to copyrighted content, is a criminal offence and the repercussions could result in years behind bars.
Detective Chief Inspector Pete Ratcliffe of the City of London Police's Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit said: "This conviction shows how important working with industry and other bodies is to modern day policing.

If you found yourself in a situation where you need hairdressing scissors, you need to make sure that you go for the best. This is because beauty matters never provide room for errors and in any case, you do not want to be the culprit of mistakes caused by imperfect hairdressing scissors. It is always recommendable that when you go into the market to buy hairdressing scissors, you for the professional scissors. The reason why this is the case is that there are many benefits that are associated with these types of scissors. Some of these benefits are explored in this article.
While you might be having a lot of money, the truth is that you do not want to spend your money unwisely. There will be no point of buying a pair of hairdressing scissors today and tomorrow you are in the market trying to buy the same scissors. That will not only be a wastage of resources, but also a wastage of time. The best way to avoid such scenarios is going for professional hairdressing scissors which have been proved to be very durable.
Another good thing with professional hairdressing scissors is that they give you a perfect experience when you are making use of them. This is because they are made up of quality materials that do not rust easily. In addition to that, their blades are always sharp due to the fact that they do not rust. This is important because it makes cutting much easier, faster and effective.
Another good thing with professional hairdressing scissors that you need to note is that they are cost-effective. Once you buy them, you will forget about buying another pair soon. This is because they are made up of strong materials that guarantee them the ability not to break even if they fall. In addition to that, their services are great, and you will always feel that you have the value of your money whenever you make use of them.

Hiking Half Dome in Yosemite: everything you need to know
Our guide to hiking Half Dome in Yosemite won't get you to the top, but it will give you an overview of how to prepare and what to expect from this fearsome feat
Our guide to hiking Half Dome in Yosemite won't get you to the top, by any means, but it will give you an overview of how to prepare and what to expect from this fearsome feat (Image credit: Jordan Siemens)
Yosemite National Park is home to an abundance of iconic, bucket list sights, among them the majestic cliff face known as El Capitan, plunging Yosemite Falls and the mighty head of Half Dome surveying the valley from the east. Half Dome is visible from many points in the park that don't involve a major hike, including from the famous Tunnel View and perfectly reflected in the surface of Tenaya Creek in the springtime, but if you're curious about getting to the top of it, you're not alone. In fact, this magnificent hunk of rock attracts about 50,000 hikers each year, but that certainly doesn't mean it's easy. Our guide to hiking Half Dome in Yosemite won't get you to the top, by any means, but it will give you an overview of how to prepare and what to expect from this fearsome hike.
What is Half Dome?
Half Dome is an impressive granite rock formation that dominates the eastern end of Yosemite Valley (Image credit: Ezra Shaw / Staff)
Half Dome is an impressive granite rock formation that dominates the eastern end of Yosemite Valley. One side of it is a sheer face while the other three sides are a smooth, round formation, giving the appearance of a rock dome that has been sliced in half – this impression is an illusion, however, and while some of the original rock formation was shaved away by passing glaciers millions of years ago, geologists do not think that the original shape was twice as large as what remains today.
What's so special about Half Dome?
(Image credit: George Rose / Contributor)
Half Dome is one of many domes in Yosemite – in fact, the park has dozens of rock domes, more than any other place on earth – but it is by far the best known. Its distinctive appearance is one of the landmark spectacles in Yosemite National Park and it stands at a whopping 8,842ft above sea level, even higher than its neighbor El Capitan. It was originally named 'Tis-sa-ack', meaning Cleft Rock, by the native Ahwahneechee people who are said to see the face of a woman in its rock face.
Half Dome's unusually sheer, smooth pitches have inspired climbers, pioneers, artists and outdoor gear companies for centuries. The first known ascent of Half Dome took place in 1875 by George G Anderson, who drilled bolts into the eastern face. Conservationist John Muir followed in his footsteps shortly afterwards, that same year. Famed landscape photographer Ansel Adams took many of his legendary images of and from Half Dome, and his ashes would later be scattered on its slopes. Finally, the shape of Half Dome was the inspiration for The North Face's iconic logo.
How hard is it to hike Half Dome?
The final steep climb to the top requires the use of cables which are bolted into the rock (Image credit: Keri Oberly)
You can hike Half Dome in a day, but don't expect it to be a cakewalk. Most people hike Half Dome from the Mist Trail, one of the best hikes in Yosemite that takes you first to splendid Vernal Falls, then to stunning Nevada Falls. For most people, the hike to Nevada Falls on its own makes for a challenging enough dayhike, but at that point you're still not even halfway to the top of Half Dome.
The total hike to Half Dome involves about 14 miles roundtrip on foot – 16 if you count the walk from the parking lot to the trailhead. As such, many people opt to break the hike up over two days and camp at Little Yosemite backpacking campground, an hour beyond Nevada Falls. In addition to its length, the hike gains almost 5,000ft in elevation, making it incredibly steep.
The surface is smooth granite that becomes treacherous when wet, and the final steep climb to the top requires the use of cables which are bolted into the rock. Hikers have unfortunately died from falls on this part of the trail, and its exposed nature makes it especially dangerous during lightning storms. Needless to say (but we'll say it anyway because it's important), hiking Half Dome is not recommended for beginners or anyone who is out of shape.
Do you need a permit to hike Half Dome?
The journey to Half Dome begins with a single permit (Image credit: jerry bensinger / 500px)
Hiking Half Dome has become increasingly popular, with so many people attempting the climb that dangerous delays and bottlenecks were occurring routinely on the single file Cable Route section. Consequently, since 2012, you have needed a permit to hike Half Dome. The National Parks Service issues 300 permits per day – 225 for dayhikes and 75 for backpacking. Permits are required seven days a week when the cables are up – usually from Memorial Day to Columbus Day – and permits for day hikers are distributed by lottery via Recreation.gov, with a preseason lottery in March and daily lotteries during hiking season. Backpackers need to apply for a separate permit along with their wilderness permit.
Hiking Half Dome: what to expect
If there are storms predicted, you should not attempt Half Dome as it is simply too dangerous (Image credit: San Francisco Chronicle/Hearst Newspapers via Getty Images / Contributor)
If you've obtained a permit to hike Half Dome, the most important thing to do is check the weather forecast before you go. If there are storms predicted, you should not attempt Half Dome as it is simply too dangerous. Upon arriving at the park and again on the day of your planned hike, you should talk to park rangers about current conditions and what to expect. In addition, here are some other considerations to take and details of what you might expect on the day.
For a long, difficult hike such as this, you should plan to leave early – around sunrise or perhaps even earlier. Expect the hike to take between 10 and 12 hours, and set a time at which you'll turn back, even if you haven't reached the top – you don't want to get stuck up there at night.
Expect the hike to take between 10 and 12 hours (Image credit: Getty Images)
The nearest parking is at Curry Village, about a mile away from the trail along a flat, shaded road, or you can take the shuttle to Happy Isles Nature Center.
For a hike such as this, it's crucial to wear proper hiking boots with good tread that you've already broken in, and not running shoes. Hiking season in Yosemite often involves mild, dry weather, but you'll want to dress in breathable, quick drying layers and carry a waterproof jacket for the waterfalls as well as rain and a warm layer like a fleece or down jacket since you'll be hiking at high altitude where the temperatures are cooler.
On the cables section, take your time and pay attention to what you're doing (Image credit: htrnr)
It's vital to bring enough water – a gallon is recommended – and the last place with potable water is at the bridge crossing below Vernal Falls. If you have a water purifier, Little Yosemite Valley is the last place to refill.
You'll also need to carry enough food for the day. You can buy provisions at Curry Village, but you'll probably need to do so the day before, since the shops and restaurants won't be open before sunrise.
You should also carry a headlamp – the length and difficulty of this hike mean that hikers are frequently beginning and descending in the dark, and you don't want to be caught out without a light source.
Consider also using trekking poles to help your knees on the downhill, but make sure they can fold away in your backpack for the cable section as you'll need both hands free.
Most people hike Half Dome from the Mist Trail, one of the best hikes in Yosemite that takes you to splendid Vernal Falls (Image credit: Anna Gorin)
The rocky Mist Trail starts out steeply alongside the mighty Merced River as it roars over granite ledges, offering frequent glimpses of Half Dome on the way. The first part of the trail is paved until you reach the bridge, where there are toilets and drinking water. As you start to climb up alongside Vernal Falls about 1.5 miles in, you'll want waterproof gear for the strong spray during the exhilarating single file section cut into the rock face that requires focus and holding on to the ropes.
Pause at the top of Vernal Falls, where you can relax on giant rock slabs and watch the water tumbling out of view, then carry on going to Nevada Falls which is about two more miles in. The crowds after Vernal Falls thin out considerably and Nevada Falls is another magnificent Yosemite standout that is worth the steps.
After this, there's a long sandy section through Little Yosemite Valley where you can camp if you have the permits and the gear. Hike through the wilderness for four more miles until you reach the sub Dome, which requires a steep climb up to the cables. Here, you might start to notice the effects of high altitude hiking, and soon you'll be exposed as you will be above treeline so make sure to pay attention to the skies.
Climb the sub Dome to the cables where you'll have to wait your turn to begin the hair-raising climb to the top – after all, there will be about 299 other people up here with you. On the cables section, take your time and pay close attention to what you're doing.
At the top, you'll find a broad surface to rest on and enjoy unparalleled views of Yosemite – however, here you're only half way! You still need to return the way you came, and descending the cables is more difficult than climbing them. You'll want to reach the top early and have ample time to recover and plenty of food and water to fuel your return journey.

2019 Honda Passport Model Review
41.2-77.9 cu ft
What's' New For the 2019 Honda Passport?
In 2019, the redesigned Honda Passport rolls off the assembly road ready for adventure. This year's Passport is more rugged, powerful, and eye-catching than ever before. Simultaneously, it's also the most tech-savvy and luxurious Passport yet. The latest Passport will be offered soon for sale, but preliminary reviews by auto critics show that there's plenty to get excited about in the newest edition of this popular midsize SUV. Since the Passport re-enters one of the most competitive classes of vehicles in the world this year, Honda held nothing back in making the Passport as unique as possible.
While other automakers take a conservative approach to styling their SUVs, Honda took the opposite approach with the Passport. At first glance, the Passport, featuring an enormous front end, complete with elongated headlights and an oversize grille, shows that this is a car that's not to be looked over. Along with its commanding exterior, the Passport features a sophisticated mechanical system with an independent suspension system and adaptable four-wheel drive to help you get through the toughest terrain. While its exterior shows that the Passport likes to work hard and play hard, the interior is surprisingly modern and luxurious. Sporting features like an advanced infotainment system, navigation, and all the latest in modern safety features, this SUV is ready to take on anything.
Which Trims & Features are Available for 2019?
In 2019, the Passport is produced in four trim levels. Each one offers something different, but they are all equally appealing and generously equipped. The base level of the Passport is called the Sport. The Sport seats up to five passengers with two rows of seats. There's plenty of room for both passengers and all your cargo or travel gear with a total of nearly 80 cubic feet of space in the trunk and over 115 cubic feet of space in the passenger seating area. Interior amenities like a state-of-the-art infotainment system with handy features like Android Auto, navigation, and Apple CarPlay keep you and your passengers informed and entertained no matter where you're going.
There is also an easy-to-read dashboard display feature so you can quickly see key information like gas mileage, engine RPMs, and other statistics about the performance of your Passport. By upgrading to the EX-L, you will get more in the way of creature comforts. The EX-L has a taller touchscreen (that has an eight-inch screen) and a hands-free liftgate so that you can easily and safely access the trunk if your hands are full. Leather trim around the interior gives the EX-L a more elegant appearance. The third of four trim levels is the Touring. This one adds to the list of amenities heated seats in the back as an interior upgrade. While there is plenty in the way of safety across the board, this trim gives you front and rear parking sensors too. With the top-level Elite, you'll add heated and ventilated seats, a phone charging mechanism, and a heated steering wheel.
Passport Performance
There is just one engine that powers the 2019 Passport. This engine has a displacement of 212 cubic inches. It is coupled with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The SUV's engine can crank out up to 280 HP at 6,000 RPM. It also has the capacity to produce a maximum of 262 LB-FT of torque at 4,700 RPM. With this engine, the Passport can go from 0-60 in about six seconds.
The 2019 Honda Passport has a Long List of Safety Features
As with its other vehicles, Honda takes safety quite seriously in the Passport. In all trim levels you'll find the Honda Sensing package, which gives you a number of driver-assist amenities. This comprehensive package include collision avoidance with emergency braking, a road departure warning sensor, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. Additionally, you'll still get all the passive safety features you'd expect in a 2019 vehicle, including plenty of airbags in both rows.
We are ready to tell you more about the 2019 Honda Passport and to get you on the road for a test drive, so drop by Bell Honda today.

Synagogue Church reopens Sunday, set to begin live service
By Jesutomi Akomolafe and Victor Gbonegun
After 21 months of protracted closure and public suspense on reopening for Church Services at The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), life will begin to beam again as from Sunday, December 5, 2021, at its Ikotun-Egbe
RCCG donates N15m lab equipment to Lagos school
After 21 months of protracted closure and public suspense on reopening for Church Services at The Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN), life will begin to beam again as from Sunday, December 5, 2021, at its Ikotun-Egbe, Segun Irefin sprawling headquarters in Lagos.
The Guardian learnt the Church's gate would be open for its global members, who have been yearning for the commencement of the usual live services programmes.
This was contained in a press statement from the church's Leadership on Friday.
Late Prophet T B Joshua, the Founder and General Overseer of the Ministry had in March 2020, suspended the regular Sunday Services following the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, which almost paralysed the whole world.
Till his passing on to glory on June 5, this year, the church remained under locks and keys, saying he was yet to hear from God on church reopening.
"We will only reopen when we receive an instruction to do so from God," he said.
It was learnt that there has been pressure from members globally for the church to resume services after the passing of the prophet.
However, the church's new leadership under Prophetess Mrs. Evelyn TB Joshua maintained the position of her late husband that "the reopening of the church for normal Sunday services will only commence with the intimation of the holy spirit."
Meanwhile, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Rose of Sharon Parish, Ikeja, Lagos State, has renovated and equipped the science laboratory of the State Senior High School located at Muiz Banire Street, Ikeja, Lagos with N15 million worth of equipment.
Speaking at the commissioning of the laboratory, the state's commissioner for education, Mrs. Folashade Adefisayo said the facility would enhance learning and teaching in the school.
The commissioner who was represented by an official of the Ministry, Mr. Ogunfuyi Taiwo Hassan, said the state government is determined to improve the teaching and learning of the sciences.
Also speaking, the pastor in charge of the RCCG, Rose of Sharon Parish, Ikeja, Pastor Emeka Obiagwu said the renovation and equipping of the laboratory was to mark the 25th anniversary of the parish as well as serve as part of the Christian Social Responsibly of the church aimed at positively impacting society.
Reacting to the gesture, the Principal of the school, Mrs. Adeola Judge, thanked the church for the initiative, adding that it would boost teaching and learning of science.

Discovering a lucrative realm of existence that is kept in the shadows, Julie becomes a sex party hostess, catering to couples who indulge in the art of swinging. Unfortunately, Julie enters a tumultuous time where one drawback after another makes her realize that she may be in over her head. As her life starts crashing down, Julie tries to escape the madness by moving to Los Angeles to salvage what's left.

Rapid Digitization Boosts B2B Ecommerce During Pandemic
By Chanel J. Ramsey on	 December 26, 2021 Ecommerce
Bombay: Riding the digital wave, B2B e-commerce companies have nearly doubled their books since the pandemic.
As the traditional supply chains that served Indian businesses dried up amid restrictions imposed by Covid, well-capitalized B2B e-commerce players took hold of the market by helping companies starving for raw materials. Companies like Bizongo, Udaan, Medikabazaar, Moglix, Ofbusiness and Inframarket have seen 100 to 300% growth in order volumes and revenues since April 2020.
These companies are also showing considerable investment interest from institutional investors at high valuations. In 2021, B2B e-commerce players raised a record $ 2 billion (around 15,000 crore) in 60 rounds, according to data from Tracxn.
"The growth of B2B e-commerce will have an impact on the global economy; it will reduce inefficiencies and ensure better quality and better prices for everyone in the value chain, "said Sujeet Kumar, co-founder of Udaan, a unicorn B2B platform with operations across food commodities, fruits and vegetables, consumer goods, electronics and lifestyle products.
According to Bizongo founders Aniket Deb and Sachin Agrawal, traditional supply chains were disrupted when Covid lockdowns were imposed.
"The lack of digital options to maneuver supply chains is a big problem; raw materials often come from multiple sets of suppliers, fragmented players and even SMEs. Traditional supply chains are full of ad hoc processes … Actors like us are helping companies streamline their supply chains, "said Deb, CEO of Bizongo.
"ETtech is a highly focused goal that brings Indian tech companies and the vibrant startup world to life."
Kunal Bahl, Co-founder and CEO, Snapdeal
"I read ETtech for in-depth articles on tech companies"
Ritesh Agarwal, Founder and CEO, Oyo
"I read ETtech to understand trends and the biggest Indian tech space, everyday"
Goyal from the depths, Co-founder and CEO, Zomato
During the pandemic, access to capital and finance became extremely difficult, providing B2B e-commerce companies with new and greater opportunities.
"This has improved the product margins of these B2B players, making them very profitable with a high return on equity to boot," said Pankaj Naik, ED and co-head (digital and technology) of Avendus Capital, who has helped several B2B companies raise funds.
Bizongo, Moglix, Udaan, OfBusiness, Ninjakart and Zetwerk are among the companies that have raised significant sums from institutional investors this year. As recently as last week, the industrial goods and services procurement platform OfBusiness raised $ 325 million from a group of private investors.
"India's B2B e-commerce market is one of the fastest growing in the world and is expected to reach over $ 1,000 billion by 2024," said John Curtius, Partner of Tiger Global, which has invested in multiple B2B platforms. Indian. "Over the past two years, adopting a digital and automated supply chain ecosystem through platform-based methods has become the key to business growth for manufacturers, traders, retailers, resellers, wholesalers and retailers. Such growing digital adoption by Indian consumers presents a lucrative opportunity for B2B startups, "he added.
However, Curtius is quick to point out that limited digital penetration in remote areas and among many MSMEs could pose a challenge for this industry. "In addition, a slow post-Covid recovery or other protracted economic downturn – similar to the one that hit the economy before Covid – could hurt the outlook for the sector," he told ET in an interaction by e -mail.
Pankaj Makkar, MD, Bertelsmann India Investments, estimates that the B2B e-commerce market in India is 2-3 times larger than the B2C market. "It will help B2B businesses to grow at a much faster rate," he said.
"As a general rule, the margins of B2B e-commerce players should be lower than those of direct consumer companies; but this could be offset by high volumes of repeat orders. Another option available to these players is the launch of private labels … The B2B sector will continue to show investor interest, "he added.
The B2B e-commerce players in India can be divided into 3-4 ways – a few focusing on multi-product categories (or sectors), while many specialize in one or two sectors. The likes of Udaan or Bizongo serve several sectors; but Infra.market (supplier of building and construction materials), Medikabazaar (supplier of medical / health products), Moglix (industrial products) or Zetwerk (manufacturing and heavy engineering) target narrower segments.
"The opportunity is huge, even if your business is limited to one sector or sub-sector," said Vivek Tiwari, Founding CEO of Medikabazaar. "We are currently managing the entire supply chain of several large hospital chains across the country. Our customers also include small nursing homes, free-standing hospitals and dispensaries. We have also started to attract customers from small towns, "he added.
B2B e-commerce operations are different from B2C players such as Amazon or Flipkart. Take the case of Moglix, which sells products in price ranges from low to very high, often reaching thousands of rupees per unit. The quantity requisitioned can also vary, from a few grams to several tonnes. Their delivery locations are mostly remote, on a manufacturing site or a factory.
"While GMV is a metric, customer retention, strength of the supply chain, digital infrastructure and finance are more important when it comes to looking at B2B businesses," said Rahul. Garg, founder and CEO of Moglix. "We are seeing the penetration of technology deepen; in B2B, customers are looking for complete solutions, including financing options. Keep in mind that for every B2C transaction, 6-10 B2B transactions take place in the background. "

marketing Legend
Ryan Carlson, CMO of Okta
To say 2020 has introduced unexpected twists and turns for CMOs is an understatement. Even in the face of seismic shifts and unprecedented challenges, modern marketing leaders call upon their wealth of experience and wisdom to change course as needed and lead their organizations forward.
We interviewed five of those leaders to gain insight into what makes them tick and the insights and advice they can share as inspirational role models. Here we provide a glimpse into the third of these five CMOs: Ryan Carlson of Okta, whose character has allowed him to continually rise above challenges.
Like every effective leader, Ryan embodies the concept of yin and yang – how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary.
Sit down with Ryan and you quickly get a sense of his relaxed demeanor and down-to-earth nature. Inspired by his Colorado upbringing, he's likely to be wearing a flannel shirt as he regales you with tales about his younger days spent fly-fishing, backpacking, snowboarding, and hiking.
That casual manner and Ryan's authenticity immediately put you at ease. However, they also belie an inner intensity that fires Ryan's refusal to back down from a challenge – a characteristic that has served him well since his youth.
Upon graduating from a small rural high school, Ryan headed for the city to attend the University of Colorado. His Electrical Engineering degree paved the way for his entrée into product marketing – experience he would parlay into an eventual CMO position at a company he zeroed in on early for its great promise: Okta.
It may surprise you to learn that Ryan had to make several runs at the company where he has spent the longest stretch of his career. As he says, "I felt Okta was going to be special — I believed strongly in the company and its product. So I invested the time and energy to become part of their story."
Today, even the naysayers acknowledge the success of our Active Directory campaign. I still refer to it when I want to remind my team and our partners to be bold."
That time included nine months landing a Product Marketing position after initially being rejected. This dogged determination would also help Ryan ultimately earn his seat as CMO – again after being passed over the first time around.
Ryan's gutsiness has established him in other ways throughout his career. In a notable example, this pluck drove him to take on the biggest of tech titans: Microsoft. In what still stands as Okta's most successful marketing campaign, Ryan led the charge to "Rethink Active Directory," in spite of considerable internal opposition.
For a closer look at Ryan's standout career experiences and the authenticity, boldness and hustle that have helped him convert challenges into opportunities, enjoy this extended profile.
