Q: Only 1 row in recordset but all rows in table get updated The query retrieves a single record as is confirmed by the recordcount but every single row in the table gets updated
I am using vb6 and ms ado 2.8
The Firebird version is 2.5.4.26856 (x64).
Firebird ODBC driver 2.0.3.154
The computer is windows 7 home edition 64 bit
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset

Dim cs As String
Dim dbPath As String

dbPath = "c:\Parkes\Parkes.fdb"
cs = "DRIVER={Firebird/Interbase(r) Driver}; DBNAME=localhost:" & dbPath & "; UID=SYSDBA; PWD=masterkey;"
cn.ConnectionString = cs
cn.Open

Dim sQuery As String

sQuery = "select memo from clients where clientID = 10021 "
rs.Open sQuery, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

If rs.BOF <> True Or rs.EOF <> True Then
'putting msgbox rs.recordcount here confirms only 1 record in recordset
    rs.Movefirst
    rs.Fields("memo") = "blah"
    rs.Update

End If

Set rs = Nothing
Set cn = Nothing

If I alter the query slightly by also selecting a second column, the client surname then only rows with the same value in the surname column as that of of the row where the clientid is 10021 get edited.
sQuery = "select memo, surname from clients where clientID = 10021 "

I cannot understand how more than one row should be edited when the recordset contains only a single row
EDIT: Having read around the web a bit this is my understanding of what is happening.
It seems that the update method identifies which records to update based on the selected columns in the recordset.
So if you select fields a,b,c,d and are updating field a, it will only update records in the database whose values for a,b,c,d match those in the recordset.
The best way to ensure that you only update a single record is to include the primary key in the selected fields.
So if I had written my query as in the line below, only a single record would have been updated because the clientID column contains unique values.
sQuery = "select memo, clientID from clients where clientID = 10021 "

It makes sense thinking about it but the way I wrote the query originally seems to work fine, in my experience, with other databases or am I wrong?

A: I tested your code everything was fine and only update one row. I only want to suggest you a simple way to check whether record exist or not. that could be like this:
if rs.rows.count > 0 then
   ' no need to move recordset to first by default its on the first row
end if

DOT Lavatory Rules for Planes

DOT Proposes Rule to Improve Lavatory Access on Single-Aisle Aircraft
By PVA National Staff
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a new proposed rule for public comment to improve restroom access for passengers with disabilities on single-aisle aircraft. The proposed regulation calls for limited improvements to lavatory interiors, enhanced criteria for onboard wheelchairs, and training of flight attendants. Comments on DOT's proposal are due by March 2, 2020.
The proposed rule is intended to improve the accessibility of single-aisle aircraft with seating capacity of 125 or more seats as they are increasingly being used by airlines for long-distance flights. Specifically, it would require airlines that operate new single-aisle aircraft with seating capacity of 125 or more seats to ensure the accessibility of features within the aircraft lavatory, including but not limited to toilet seats, assist handles, faucets, attendant call buttons, and door locks.
The proposed rule also includes training and information requirements that would apply to the airlines' operations. Airlines would be required to train flight attendants on proper procedures for providing assistance to individuals with disabilities to and from the lavatory from the aircraft seat, including hands-on training on the retrieval, assembly, stowage, and use of the aircraft's on-board wheelchair, and training regarding the accessibility features of the lavatory. To ensure that passengers with disabilities have accurate information about the types of accessibility features available on aircraft and can plan their flight appropriately, DOT proposes to require that airlines make information concerning the accessibility of aircraft lavatories available on the airline's website, on the aircraft, and upon request to individuals with a disability.
In addition, the proposed rule would establish improved performance standards for onboard wheelchairs, which are used to transport non-ambulatory passengers to lavatories from their seats. Under the regulation, the onboard wheelchairs would need to align with the height of airline seats for easier transfer and have wheel locks and other features for safety and stability. The chair would allow entry in a forward manner for passengers who can perform a stand-and-pivot transfer. The rule also would require the chair to be capable of completely entering the lavatory in a backward orientation and fitting over the closed toilet lid so that the door can be closed for privacy in performing non-toileting functions.
In August, the Access Board proposed voluntary guidelines for onboard wheelchairs to supplement DOT's performance criteria. These proposed guidelines, which contain non-binding technical specifications for the dimensions, features, and capabilities of onboard wheelchairs, would provide airlines and onboard wheelchair manufacturers with an example as to how DOT's performance criteria could be met. The Board is currently finalizing these guidelines based on the public comments it received.
Unfortunately, the proposed rule does not address the size of lavatories. Instead, DOT will issue an advance notice of proposed rule making (ANPRM) to solicit comment and gather information on the costs and benefits of requiring airlines to make lavatories on new single-aisle aircraft larger, equivalent to that currently found on twin-aisle aircraft. PVA strongly believes in the need for fully accessible lavatories in line with the agreement made during the 2016 negotiated rule making on accessible lavatories and will strongly support larger lavatories in the ANPRM.

Piers Morgan Calls Vegans 'Terrorists' During 'Milk Is Murder' TV Debate
Joey Carbstrong described the verbal sparring as a 'character assassination'
TV host Piers Morgan calls vegans 'terrorists' (Photo: ITV/Good Morning Britain)
Controversial TV host Piers Morgan labeled vegans 'terrorists' during an on-air debate about the ethics of milk - attacking the character of vegan activist Joey Carbstrong.
Carbstrong was invited onto Good Morning Britain along with celebrity chef Anthony Worrall Thompson to discuss whether milk is murder.
While Worrall Thompson engaged in debate with Carbstrong - who described dairy farming as an atrocity - Morgan changed the topic of the conversation to a personal attack, talking about the activist's criminal past.
Milk is murder
During the segment, Co-host Susanna Reid said: "People will be familiar with the phrase 'meat is murder', and even that in its time was a controversial statement. But to say milk is murder is taking that quite far, isn't it? Lots of people - vegetarians for example - will happily consume dairy products - and not think they are doing anything wrong."
Carbstrong said: "They are disconnected from the process. 50 percent of the cow flesh in this country comes from spent dairy cows. All of the animals in the dairy industry will end up in a slaughterhouse, so they will be killed against their will."
Reid answered: "So an efficient use of those animals then."
Carbstrong replied: "It doesn't make it moral whether it's an efficient use of an animal. If we were talking about dogs in those slaughterhouses, we'd never say that that's moral."

'The food chain'
Reid admitted that 'we have a totally different view of our animals at home', and the vegan activist agreed, saying: "We'd never subject them to the abuse we do to cows."
"But this is the food chain," said Worrell Thompson. "You know, the spider eats the fly, the cat eats the mouse, a tiger would eat us if we got in its way. That's what's been going on for 8,000 years - we've been drinking milk. Our bodies have actually mutated to produce an enzyme called lactase which which allows lactose [milk sugar] to be digested by our gut."
Piers Morgan interjected saying: "I think the problem with the vegan movement at the moment, is that a lot of people might be tempted to take up a more vegan-based diet, but they hate this type of vegan terrorism stuff."
"Take the vegans out of the picture," said Carbstrong. "It's about the animals."
'No way to debate'
After discussing the ethics of exploiting animals for their milk, Morgan asked the vegan if he was a man of peace, saying 'this is what it boils down to'.
"I don't believe in harming other human beings or animals," he replied.
Morgan said: "So in September 2011, you were arrested when police found a loaded sawn-off pump action shotgun."
'Character attack'
Carbstrong said: "Oh, a character attack." Morgan said: "No, a fact," and asked why he was carrying a weapon.
Carbstrong asked: "Has this got anything to do with the topic at hand? Would this be relevant if I was speaking up against dog abuse or child abuse? It's true - I was incarcerated for something I did in my past. But this is no way to have a debate on dairy...Just because I did something wrong in the past, doesn't mean I can't do something right now."
Anthony Worrell Thompson told Piers Morgan to 'leave [Carbstrong] alone' saying people are allowed to make mistakes in their past. He added that he 'respects vegans' and called them 'pure'.

Joey Carbstrong has spoken at length about his past. According to the activist, spending six months in prison made him question the path he was taking. He decided to dedicate his life to advocacy and fighting for the rights of animals.
He has been criticized in the past for some of his statements, including saying that hunters deserve to die.
In recent years, he has softened his approach, telling The Telegraph: "Now I promote a peaceful, love-based approach in my advocacy. I never used to be like that, but I am now. Any of these things I will publicly condemn."
Morgan often engages in loud debate with vegans on Good Morning Britain - and earlier this year was credited with helping charity Veganuary have its most successful campaign yet, when the TV host ranted about the initiative to his audience.
Morgan called Veganuary 'hell' - and labelled vegans 'plant murderers'. Despite this, the charity's Co-founder Matthew Glover thanked the TV star for promoting the cause.
Glover told Plant Based News: "If we had ever agreed with Piers Morgan on anything we might have been concerned but as it is, so many people loathe the man that his tweets have actually made people sign up to take part in Veganuary. So we have something to thank him for. He is inadvertently making the world a kinder place."

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems bring a lot of benefits, especially to small businesses who are trying to be more competitive. A good CRM solution lets your small business keep track of their customers as they go through the sales funnel and beyond.
The same system also helps deliver a more personalized customer experience. Any sales executive can pull customer information and tailor the way they serve customers accordingly.
Of course, you need the best CRM to fully benefit from its use. There are several CRM solutions to choose from, and we are going to take a look at the best CRMs for small businesses in this article to help you pick the right one.
Salesforce is almost synonymous with customer relationship management. This cloud-based CRM solution is used by businesses – small and big – to keep track of their customers. The solution offers a wide range of features, including customer contact management and advanced data analysis.
Since Salesforce runs from the cloud, there is no need for big initial investments. You can sign up for an account and start using Salesforce immediately. Salesforce is easy to integrate with other solutions that support small businesses.
Another big advantage of using Salesforce is the access to its automation features. You can automate anything from invoice creation to onboarding and upselling by defining several simple parameters. These automation features are why Salesforce is regarded as one of the best CRMs for small businesses.
If you are looking for a free CRM solution to use, Hubsport CRM is the option to look into. Hubspot CRM lets you store customer details and contact info for free. The system also runs in the cloud, so your sales executives always have access to those details no matter where they are.
For more advanced features, however, you'll have to pay Hubspot's reasonable service fee. Alternatively, you can use PieSync to synchronize contacts between multiple platforms and solutions.
If you do choose to pay the service fee, you get additional marketing and sales tools to use. Invoicing and managing customer history become easy with these tools at your fingertips. Hubspot CRM also suits professionals and freelancers who want to grow their operations.
Pipedrive is all about integration; it is the CRM solution to use if you want to create a seamless workflow that involves other business solutions. It may not be as capable as Salesforce – it certainly lacks the automation features that Salesforce has – but you can use PieSync as a workaround.
Piedrive also integrates well with Gmail and Google's own G Suite. Piedrive lets you dig deep into customer engagement. If you are not afraid of getting your hands dirty with data and numbers, Piedrive has the tools for gaining contextual insights on your customers.
You cannot go wrong with any of these CRM solutions. If you feel like you're still unsure on which one to opt for, see if you can find some demos and reviews online to help you make the right choice.

Code 8 (2019): Crime / Drama / Sci-Fi
Kay	2010s, Film Reviews	 December 29, 2019 December 29, 2019 1 Minute
A power enabled construction worker teams up with the wrong people in an effort to save his dying mother.
Canada strikes back! Only three months after Freaks (2019) https://kgpfilmreviews.com/2019/11/30/freaks-2019-drama-mystery-sci-fi/, Code 8 makes an appearance and leaves a lasting impression. Take the superpowers out and you are left with a strong existential drama about working-class people who try to survive one day at a time and a son who would do anything wrong under the Sun for his dying mom. Great performances from the cousins Stephen and Robbie Amell but also Kari Matchett, Laysla De Oliveira, Greg Bryk, Kyla Kane, and Vlad Alexis. Directing, editing (great opening sequence montage), photography, production design, visual and sound effects are of Hollywood standards, proving that the studios don't need hundreds of millions to make a decent sci-fi. Also, the music nails it and it is not used as a means to tell you how to feel at all times. It is minimal as it is emotional. Through the crowdfunding website Indiegogo, the producers managed to gather over two million dollars from 28,400 backers. Both Freaks and Code 8 come from the Canadian film school and leave a different flavour to the one left to us by the X-men franchise. A round of applause for all cast and crew!!!
Code 8 spinoff series has already been announced by the film's director Jeff Chan and writer Chris Paré. Really looking forward to it as there is still so much to unfold in terms of both story and character development.

Cranborne Chase is a large chalk plateau that covers parts of the counties Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire in south-west England. The plateau forms part of the substantial and ancient English Chalk Formation that covers much of the southern parts of England. Cranborne Chase lies next to Salisbury Plain and the West Wiltshire Downs in the north, the Dorset Downs to the south west and the South Downs running south east.
The 379 square miles of Cranborne Chase and the West Wiltshire Downs are designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is currently the sixth largest AONB in the country. The highest point is found in Wiltshire at Win Green which stands at 910 ft.
Cranborne Chase has a history that extends way back to Neolithic times. Countless earthworks are dotted around the countryside. Stone circles, or evidence of them, can be found all over in an important part of what was once ancient Britain. There are many Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments and the remains of a number of Iron Age settlements on the downs, including the hill fort at Badbury Rings (Vindocladia). An old Roman villa has recently been excavated by the Time Team television program in the area of Minchington. When the Saxons invaded England, the Romano-British population of the downs tried to keep the invaders out of Dorset by building a five mile long defensive ditch, now known as Bokerley Dyke, across the top of the downs.
The thick deciduous ancient woodlands that once covered the downs here would have gradually been cleared by early farmers. However, so long is the history of habitation in this area, the forests would have grown back several over the centuries as soils became exhausted and the agricultural was subsequently abandoned. As a result large areas of this land, though continuously inhabited for over six thousand years, did remain wooded from the Middle Ages until World War II . Then, demands for food production during the war outstripped the weakness of agriculture in the area and intensive farming started clearing woodlands once again.
Visitors to the area could call on the village and estate that gave the area its name. Cranborne Manor , the Dorset home of Viscount Cranborne, boasts wonderful gardens that are open once a week in the Spring and Summer for the public to enjoy. The Cranborne Manor Garden Centre , which specialises in old fashioned roses, clematis and all the best plants for a country garden, is open every day.

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Is Corroding Away Nazi Subs And Shipwrecks
German U-boat U-166 laying on the seafloor of the Gulf of Mexico. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
By Tom Hale
In April 2010, an explosion at the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig sparked one of the biggest human-made environmental crises of all time. Over 4.9 million barrels of oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico, leading to catastrophic damage to marine life and the wider ecosystem.
A new study has highlighted another, unexpected victim of the oil spill: Nazi submarines. Writing in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, scientists led by the University of Southern Mississippi have detailed how the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is subjecting the area's historical shipwrecks to more corrosive waters and causing them to disintegrate at a startling rate.
The metal of one wreck in particular, the German submarine U-166, has experienced a huge amount of corrosion. The submarine was in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II on a mission to sink merchant ships and naval vessels, an operation known as the Second Happy Time or the "American shooting season" to the Germans. U-166 sank numerous US ships during this, but the troublesome sub was eventually sunk by a depth charge in the summer of 1942 by a US ship captained by Herbert Claudius. The wreck has laid on the seabed of the Gulf of Mexico ever since and was hunted down by an archaeological survey in 2001.
Strangely enough, its recent problem with corrosion actually has its roots in bacteria living on the seafloor. The researchers argue that the influx of crude oil has provided the area's anaerobic bacteria with carbon and sulfur to munch on. With a surplus of energy, bacterial communities have boomed and formed a dense biofilm of microorganisms that can easily stick to surfaces like a ship's hull. Unfortunately, this biofilm pumps out a corrosive by-product that can degrade metal.
To prove this, the team placed a series of carbon steel disks at historic shipwreck sites within the area affected by the Deepwater Horizon spill and others many kilometers away in "cleaner" water. The ones placed under the shadow of Deepwater Horizon were home to a much more diverse and abundant community of bacteria, including anaerobic bacteria capable of "feeding" on the carbon found in crude oil. They also documented increased metal loss in the carbon steel disks.
The researchers concede that more work is needed when it comes to understanding the interactions between biofilms, oil spills, and steel surfaces in the marine environment. However, they hope this study will provide people with a fresh, more human angle on the ongoing disaster of Deepwater Horizon.
"Given the historical and cultural significance of the U-166, we should go back," study author Leila Hamdan told New Scientist, who first reported on the research. "The deep sea is a place that not a lot of us can connect with and this gives us a reason to care."


This morning was perfect outside weather so I went on a pasture walk. The Tunis greeted me when I made my way out to where the sheep were spending their morning. Have I mentioned how much I like these girls? The Border Leicesters act like I am invading their space, no welcome wagon from that group!
I love watching the ewes grazing and the lambs playing. I did manage to get a few pictures of lambs. but it is not easy since they do not spend much time standing still. I didn't get any pictures of the goats, they were off browsing in another part of the pasture. I have to say I am surprised that they have not had their kids yet. They waddle around and look like they could kid any day but I have been thinking that for weeks.
I did make a mental list of what needs to be done while I was out looking around.
-A small tree is down on the fence.
-Cross sections of fencing need put up so we can do rotational grazing this summer.
-We need to rid our pastures of Thistle and Burdock (not a friend to wool) .
I will have to add it to the master list of things to do this Spring. It amazes me how fast the work adds up. Anyone else have an ever growing list of things to do this Spring?
These girls didn't mind a visit!
Your sheep are beautiful. And yes, I have a LONG list of things that need to be done. But it's just me so I have to do what I can when I can. Sheep shearing tomorrow, I hope, so I need to make a little catch pen. It's supposed to be really nice and sunny the next few days.

Wednesday 24 September – Saturday 27 September 2014.
Burgess has a powerful presence at this year's Monaco Yacht Show, with more superyachts exhibited than any other brokerage house. Eleven luxury yachts will be on display, plus many more at anchor, making this an incredible opportunity to see a wide selection of the Burgess brokerage fleet gathered in one place.
Visit us at stand QH18 on the Quai de l'Hirondelle where you will be warmly invited to arrange viewings, meet with Burgess brokers and managers, or simply enjoy the Burgess hospitality. We are, once again, partnering with Wahoo who will be providing sublimely comfortable courtesy tenders to whisk Burgess clients between yachts in different parts of the harbour, and to those anchored outside the port (weather permitting).
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will provide luxury transfers to and from the show exclusively for Burgess clients who will travel first class in a Phantom Drophead Coupé, Wraith or Ghost limousine.
The Burgess hospitality is legendary, so let us use our knowledge, passion and connections to give you a bespoke perspective on this elite superyacht event.
CAKEWALK is one of the stand-out yachts in the large yacht market and will attract considerable attention. This jaw-dropping megayacht has it all: a private owner's deck, expansive exterior decks, guest elevator connecting all levels and a climate-controlled full beam tender garage. At an impressive 85.6m in length, and 2,998GT, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a powerful yacht of vast proportions that is ready for immediate cruising.
The award-winning German-built SYCARA V is a new addition to the Burgess fleet. Designed with minimum partitions in the guest entertaining areas to enhance her interior volume, she has extensive accommodation for 20 guests in eight flexible cabins. Spacious decks offer a variety of dining and sun lounging areas and further highlights include an extensive gym, massage room and an elevator connecting all decks.
With six decks of superlative style and unprecedented space, BATON ROUGE is magnificent in every respect. Boasting top design credentials and a quality Dutch build, she has exceptional volume for a 62m yacht. Tim Heywood's exterior styling has created vast living areas, both inside and on deck, while Redman Whiteley Dixon's stunning beach house interior creates comfortable spaces that are never overstated. This is a unique opportunity to purchase one of the most sought-after yachts on the water today.
One of the world's most visionary sailing yachts, the multi-award-winning TWIZZLE combines advanced technology with a level of comfort rarely found on a yacht of her class. She boasts one of the most advanced rigs ever created and has immaculate Redman Whiteley Dixon/Dubois Naval Architects design credentials. Chic guest areas and stunning deck spaces ensure that, whether racing in regattas or cruising around the world, TWIZZLE will rise to any occasion.
ILLUSION is arguably the best value Feadship on the market today. A substantial refit in 2010 included a 5m stern extension and a complete engine room and interior overhaul. Bannenberg & Rowell masterminded her new modern art themed interior which provides an attractive contrast to the classical lines of her de Voogt exterior, lending significant commercial appeal. Pedigree build quality and an expert refit at Pendennis ensure that ILLUSION represents exceptional value at a newly reduced price.
The pedigree FARIBANA V combines the enduring quality of a Dutch-built yacht with sophisticated, timeless Andrew Winch design. Beautifully maintained, this yacht completed her five year Lloyd's survey in 2013 and was fully repainted in 2012. With impressive volume, beautiful, classical entertaining areas and an elevator that serves all decks, FARIBANA V is well-priced for a yacht of her size and quality.
ZENOBIA combines the stunning exterior lines of Donald Starkey, superior build quality of Abeking & Rasmussen, and the meticulous design and detailing of Alberto Pinto. This yacht boasts excellent living areas, enormous deck spaces and flexible, generous accommodation, making it ideal for entertaining. Fully repainted in 2014, this yacht is in excellent condition, has had minimal usage and one owner since delivery.
Sleek, with navy and white livery, BLUE SCORPION was built in 2006 by Baglietto and has seen very low levels of usage. This modern yacht features a subtle, minimalist interior with Asian influences, Chinese artwork, and plenty of light and space. Versatile deck spaces, including a seven-man jacuzzi and multiple entertaining areas, both indoors and out, have helped this yacht achieve an exceptional charter record. In immaculate condition following a full repaint in 2013, BLUE SCORPION offers great value for her size.
The distinctive, award-winning TOLD U SO is for sale for the very first time. In addition to an outstanding pedigree, this unique yacht and her iconic Missoni-themed interior is the custom creation of Molori Design. The stunning TOLD U SO has had one owner since delivery, has an enviable reputation on the charter market and must be seen to be fully appreciated.

This study aims to measure the latent mean difference in perfectionism and marital satisfaction by counseling help-seeking attitudes. The respondents were 327 married graduate students from a research university in Malaysia. An online self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The respondents completed the Almost Perfect Scale- Revised, Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale, Marital Satisfaction Scale, and Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychology Help Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examined the instruments and the results indicated that construct validity were achieved. The latent mean difference in perfectionism and marital satisfaction by counseling help-seeking attitudes were tested using multigroup invariance analysis. The respondents with negative attitudes toward counseling help-seeking (n = 159) reported a higher latent mean in perfectionism but a lower latent mean in marital satisfaction compared to those with positive attitudes toward counseling help-seeking (n = 168). The implications of these findings for counseling services are discussed.

The Final Season of 'Preacher' Has Been a Chore
By Dustin Rowles | TV | September 17, 2019 |
For those of you who haven't been watching the fourth and final season of AMC's Preacher, let me sum it up through the first eight (of 10) episodes, so far: Cassidy is held by the Grail in Masada and tortured by an American mobster called Frank Toscani, who repeatedly slices off Cassidy's foreskin (he's a vampire, so it grows back) and uses it to manufacture a facial cream. This goes on for roughly three episodes before Cassidy escapes, takes a shotgun, and blows Toscani's brains out through his butthole.
In the fourth episode, Jesse and the pilot of an airplane crash into the sea and float on a life raft for days, where God essentially tortures the pilot to spite Jesse. The pilot gets a sunburn so bad that his skin melts before a shark comes along and bites his arm off and he eventually dies from both exposure and loss of blood.
Over the course of roughly the first eight episodes, Herr Starr — who already has an opening shaped like a vagina on top of his bald head — is repeatedly tortured and humiliated. Cassidy's foreskin, at one point, is used to replace his ear. God sics a dingo on him, which eats off Herr Starr's penis. A group of Australian cannibals rescue him, replace his penis with a faucet spout and eat his leg. Afterward, Herr Starr tries to kill himself, but his nipples are ripped off in the failed attempt.
One character who is not tortured is Humperdoo, the inbred descendant of Jesus Christ who is so severely intellectually disabled that he's cloned hundreds of times, and his clones are often violently killed. Humperdoo, however, is only kidnapped and held hostage by Tulip and Cassidy, although he's too intellectually disabled to realize it. After Herr Starr's failed suicide attempt, he retrieves Humperdoo and brings him to God, who puts the apocalypse into motion.
Meanwhile, over the course of the first eight episodes, Jesse survives one airplane crash; he is shot in the back by Arseface (who has otherwise served no purpose since season one); Jesse dies after falling from another plane that God tries to destroy with an atom bomb. Jesse is repeatedly tortured in hell — he is imprisoned in a cage attached to a tube filled with ants; he is burned alive; and he is trapped in a barrel with rats, among other things. He survives, God brings him back to the real world, and then rips out his eye.
That's it. It took eight episodes for Cassidy to escape the Grail, reconnect with Tulip, and for Jesse to finally meet God, only to be rejected by him. Meanwhile, it's basically been one torture sequence after another. The season hasn't been without its moments, but they are few and far between. While I do appreciate the dark humor, it'd also be nice if they had grounded it something resembling a storyline. They have all these great characters — The Saint of Killers, Hitler, Arseface — who have mostly been wasted, so that the series can focus on torturing Herr Starr and moving Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy around the game board, pulling them apart and putting them back together again. The series is not saying anything this year, except that God is a "motherf**ker," a point that it has belabored over and over.
Granted, I don't hate the final season of Preacher — Ruth Negga and Joseph Gilgun keep it occasionally interesting — but it definitely feels like a show that Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin have given up on. It's a shame, because while there were missteps in the first three seasons, Preacher still felt focused. Now it feels like one of those albums a musician has to complete to fulfill a record contract so he can sign with another label. It's been the bare f**king minimum.
On the upside, if you haven't watched the fourth season and would still like to see the final two episodes, there's no need to watch the other eight episodes. All you need to know is that God is about to start the apocalypse, and that Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy have finally reunited to take him on, probably with the aid of the Saint of Killers.

By the time spring and summer roll around, we're basically starving for some good ol' vitamin D straight from the sun. The problem is that we love the warm sun on our skin and having a radiant glow, but we're smart enough to know it can do a lot of damage — wrinkles, discoloration and, worst of all, skin cancer.
With all the different products and information available, it can be overwhelming to know exactly what you need. We went to local dermatologists and skincare experts to find out the best ways to protect our skin, their best summer skincare advice and their favorite products to use for protection, prevention and what to do if you get sunburned.
Here's what the experts had to say!
What's your favorite summer skincare product and why?
The No. 1 thing to remember this summer is SUNSCREEN! Sunscreen is vital for protecting your skin from harmful UV rays that can lead to sun damage-causing wrinkles, sun spots and skin cancers. My favorite sunscreen product during the summer is EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41. It is my go-to sunscreen for the beach or pool. It provides water-resistant, broad-spectrum, chemical-free sun protection with a tinted color allowing you to forgo using make-up. For kids, I love Blue Lizard sunscreen, which is a broad-spectrum, water-resistant physical blocker sunscreen. Kids love how the bottle changes color in harmful UV rays. Regardless of what sunscreen you choose, just remember it only works as long as you are using it regularly, so find one that works for you! Of course, I can't just have one favorite summer skincare product. I also love topical Vitamin C products year round, but especially during the summer, as they protect against environmental damage caused by free radicals.
What's the best thing someone can do to protect his/her skin throughout the summer?
Try to avoid being in the sun during the peak hours when UV rays are strongest, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Since this can be difficult, it is important to seek shade during these hours when possible and protect your skin by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least an SPF 30 or greater and sun-protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses. Most people forget that you need to apply at least 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen at least 30 minutes BEFORE you go outside and reapply every two hours or after swimming/sweating. If you are unsure if your sunscreen is effective for UV protection, look for the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation on the bottle or go to skincancer.org. And don't forget your lips! A safer option to that sun-kissed glow is either using spray tans or sunless tanning lotions.
Once you're burned, what can be done to prevent peeling or damage?
As soon as you feel or see any sign of a sunburn, get out of the sun and start treating your skin. A cool bath or compresses can help control the skin inflammation and relieve some of the pain. A dose of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, such as ibuprofen or Advil, may help to limit the damage and decrease the appearance of the sunburn by reducing swelling and redness. Because sunburns draw fluid towards the skin and away from the body, be sure to drink extra water to keep yourself hydrated. Once sunburns occur, you cannot necessarily prevent peeling, but you can moisturize your skin, preferably with a product that contains aloe or antioxidants, which will improve the appearance of the sunburn and help to exfoliate the skin naturally. Applying liberally and frequently can help improve peeling. In addition, aloe and hydrocortisone-containing products can help with discomfort. Avoid picking, peeling or using exfoliation products or products containing glycolic acid, retinoids or salicylic acid. Allow the peeling to occur naturally while moisturizing the skin, and then wait three days before restarting any of these products. If your skin does not appear to be healing or you have any concerns, it is best to see your dermatologist.
Best piece of summer skincare advice?
During the hotter summer months, you should consider switching up your skincare routine. You might want to skip out on using your retinoid and retinol-containing products or reduce the frequency to using them a few times a week during the summer as they can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. These products work by replacing dead skin cells with new healthy skin cells that are more sensitive and prone to burning from the sun's UV rays. In addition, avoid heavy foundations and concealers that can clog pores and switch to lighter products. A slightly more acidic cleanser can help control shine and sweat more efficiently during the hot summer months. Look for ones that contain glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Have fun this summer and remember to wear sunscreen daily paired with a wide-brimmed hat!
I don't leave home without making sure my vitamin C serum is on. In the industry, we refer to it as a powerhouse antioxidant. It lightens, brightens and tightens! Besides the sun, you also have free radical damage, pollution and other environmental components that age and attack the skin, so a professional vitamin C serum is a must! My go-to favorite is the Vitamin C Reversal Serum by Circadia by Dr. Pugliese.
I can't say it enough, SPF! I like to inform my clients, though the SPF number is important, the quality of ingredients also makes a huge difference in protection. The number tells you how long you have until you need to reapply. So SPF 35-45 daily is needed. I also encourage my clients to invest in a quality wide-brimmed hat. They are super cute and not just needed for the Kentucky Derby! Baseball hats really only cover your forehead and are not enough protection. Don't forget to put SPF behind your neck, around your ears and chest. My favorite is Circadia's Light Day SPF 37. It is an environmental protection product, with stem cell technology, UV protection, has anti-aging peptides and full broad protection.
Natural aloe is great. My new favorite soothing ingredient is calendula. It can be found in creams and salves, but my go-to product is Circadia's Aloe and Calendula Calming Mist. This misting spray not only calms and soothes, but also keeps the skin hydrated. Please no picking or peeling skin prematurely as you can cause more damage!
Stay hydrated, get yourself a fun summer hat, and please wear a quality SPF! They are not all created equal, save the inexpensive brands for your body and invest in a quality SPF/antioxidant protection for your face. It's the only one you get!
Image Skincare Prevention + Daily Ultimate Protection Moisturizer SPF 50. It's a lightweight product with a built-in broadband spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen providing your skin with ultimate protection and prevention. The best part is, it's paraben-free!
I know it's obvious, but minimal sun exposure like wearing a hat while outside and keeping your sunscreen applied every single day.
With a mild sunburn, a pure aloe is still your best go-to for immediate relief; but, as it subsides, I recommend SkinMedica TNS Essential Serum at night to prevent scarring, and Image Skincare Vital C Enzyme Masque each morning to remove the peeling skin. However, if it's a serious burn with blistering, seek medical care.
Hydration is so important when you're out in extreme heat, inside and out. So, a hyaluronic on your face before your sunscreen in the mornings and lots of water during the day will keep your skin glowing.
SUNSCREEN! As trite as it may sound, it is the ultimate summer skincare product. Zinc oxide-based sunscreens scatter, reflect and absorb UVA and UVB rays better than any other sunscreen ingredient on the market. Not only will a great sunscreen protect you from future UV damage, but it can also help erase signs of photo-aging that already exist in your skin, like wrinkles and brown spots. EltaMD has based their entire sun protection line around transparent zinc oxide, so you get incredible protection in a wearable formulation. UV Sport SPF 50 is my go-to for summer as it is oil-free, water-resistant and lightweight.
Be more vigilant about incidental sun exposure. We collect more sun damage over our lifetime with small amounts of daily exposure than with beach trips and boat outings. UPF sun-protective clothing is becoming much more mainstream with companies like Tory Burch, J.Crew, Lululemon and Lilly Pulitzer incorporating more fashionable silhouettes into their lines. UPF measures the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches the skin, unlike SPF, which is the UVB rating sunscreen. UPF clothing is tightly woven fabric that offers breathable sun protection while out running errands or while hanging out at the beach.
Hop in a time machine and put your sunscreen on! Honestly, once the skin has been burned, the DNA damage is done. DNA damage can result in the destruction of skin cells, which is one of the reasons why the skin peels after a burn. Your body has its own natural mechanisms to repair DNA damage after a sunburn, but not all cells get repaired. Don't bother with aloe in a bottle. It is over-processed and doesn't possess the natural anti-inflammatory effects of fresh aloe vera. Drink lots of water, take cool showers, and apply a product with copper peptides, like a copper recovery serum to help your skin repair damaged proteins and stimulate new collagen synthesis.
Taking the time to prevent sun damage now will save you time and money down the road. Wear your sunscreen. Don't actively sunbathe. Increase topical and internal antioxidant protection all year, but especially during the summer, when your exposure is at its highest.
We hope you enjoy the warmer weather. Just be sure to take the time to protect your skin this season!
