Q: Wrong decoded base64 utf8 image files I'm using nodejs for getting base64 file but i`m do it in wrong way and i suddenly encoded base64 from utf8 charset. I want to recover my files that stored in db, I tested lot of ways to get back my data but the result is nothing.
My problem for uploading images solved in this question:
Converted base64 image does not work, how can I get true base64 image?
The sample stored image in my db is like this (Its png image with real size: 23275 bytes):
https://files.fm/u/vt5f5chn
please help me to recover my files with any tools or programming languages.
Edit1:
I used this code to store data in mongo:
In my server file (pure nodejs):
    // Get the payload,if any
    const decoder = new StringDecoder('utf-8');
    let payload = '';
    req.on('data', (data) => {
        payload += decoder.write(data);
    });
    req.on('end', () => {
        payload += decoder.end();
        req.data = {
            payload
        });
        // ... other codes

In my api that stored data in mongo:
const newAttachment = new TicketAttachment({
    name:fileName,
    type:fileType,
    size:req.data.payload.length,
    content:req.data.payload
});

newAttachment.save();

EPL: Leicester thrash Newcastle 4-0 as Burnley hold West Ham
Leicester left Newcastle still rooted in the Premier League relegation zone with a 4-0 thrashing of the Magpies on Sunday, while West Ham's Champions League ambitions were dented by a 0-0 draw at Burnley.
Despite being hit by a coronavirus outbreak that left Brendan Rodgers without seven players, the Foxes gave Eddie Howe another reminder of the task he faces to keep Newcastle in the top flight as Youri Tielemans struck twice at the King Power.
Howe will be able to call on the resources of the Saudi sovereign wealth fund in the January transfer window and results elsewhere this weekend mean they remain just three points adrift of safety.
But Newcastle face Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United in their next three games and, on this form, will be lucky to escape that run without another severe hit to their goal difference.
Leicester had won just two of their previous nine games in all competitions and were dumped out of the Europa League by Napoli on Thursday.
However, they got the break they needed to edge in front before half-time when James Maddison engineered contact with Javier Manquillo to win a penalty.
With Jamie Vardy watching on from the bench, Tielemans took responsibility from the spot to open the scoring seven minutes before half-time.

Newcastle 0-4 Man City: Cancelo rocket helps City secure Christmas top spot
Villa vs Burnley postponed two hours before kick-off
Patson Daka's form has seen him earn his spot ahead of Vardy in recent weeks in the Premier League and Zambian had the easiest of tasks to roll in his seventh goal of the season from Harvey Barnes' unselfish pass to double Leicester's lead.
Tielemans rounded off a fine team move for his second of the afternoon before Maddison's fine finish compounded Newcastle's pain five minutes from time.
Victory lifts Leicester to eighth and back in the fight for a place in the top four while West Ham wasted the chance to extend their advantage over the chasing pack.
The Hammers have won just one of their last five league games as Nick Pope frustrated David Moyes' men with a string of saves at Turf Moor.
West Ham edged one point ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United, but Tottenham, who are not in action this weekend due to their own Covid outbreak, are just two points back with two games in hand.
A point also does little to aid Burnley's hopes of survival as they remain in 18th, but are now just two points adrift of safety.

The Forsyth County Sheriffs Office is currently investigating two deaths at a home in north Forsyth.
A man and a woman were found dead early this morning inside a residence off Memphis Street in north Forsyth, according to sheriff's office spokesman Cpl. Doug Rainwater.
Rainwater said that deputies arrived at the residence at about 3:45 a.m. after a friend of the family called 911 for a welfare check at the house.
When deputies entered the residence, they immediately found a deceased man and woman, and two unharmed children inside. Rainwater said that they believe all four individuals lived at the residence, but they have not confirmed their relationships with each other.
The sheriff's office is reporting that both deaths are from an isolated incident with no danger to the public, and the scene is being investigated as a crime by the major crimes unit.


CYBG's £1.7 billion takeover of Virgin Money has been formally completed, marking one of the first major banking deals since the financial crisis.
The two banks – which together hold £84 billion in assets – received final approval to merge during a court hearing on Friday.
Virgin Money's London-listed shares have now been cancelled, with the all-stock deal resulting in another 540 million new CYBG shares entering the market.
A raft of resignations also followed the deal's completion. It includes Virgin Money chairwoman Irene Dorner and chief executive Jayne-Anne Gadhia. However Ms Gadhia will work as a senior adviser to CYBG boss David Duffy over the next 18 months. He will be supported by CYBG finance chief Ian Smith, while Virgin Money's chief financial officer Peter Bole will become group integration director to help with the changes across both businesses.
Hugh Chater, managing director of the core bank of Virgin Money, will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Virgin Money business. Mr Duffy said the deal will help it compete with larger rivals, including Barclays, Lloyds and RBS.
He said: "Today marks an historic milestone for CYBG and Virgin Money, creating the first true national competitor to the status quo in UK banking with a clear ambition to provide customers with the best service in the UK.
"Bringing the two banks together creates the UK's sixth-largest bank combining strong product, service and technology capabilities alongside an iconic brand with well-known consumer champion credentials.
CYBG said there were no plans for an "immediate" changeover, but the retail sides of its brands including Yorkshire and Clydesdale banks would transition to Virgin Money branding over the next three years.
It is exploring a similar move for users of its small- and medium-sized enterprise banking services.
News of the merger initially sparked concerns over plans to shed more than 1,500 jobs. However, CYBG has pledged to maintain a "substantial base" at Virgin Money's Newcastle headquarters for at least three years.
The combined group is expected to result in annual cost savings of around £120m by the end of September 2021.
With more than six million customers, the bank will also hold £70bn in customer loans and around £58bn in mortgages.
Virgin Group chief executive Josh Bayliss said: "The combination of Virgin Money and CYBG will bring huge benefits for customers, employees and communities alike.

After marathon negotiations lasting more than 20 hours, the state's legislature raised the renewable portfolio standard (RPS) and sets a deadline to create a "grid" charge for distributed-generation customers — but current customers are exempt.
The Michigan legislature met yesterday afternoon to pass a sweeping bill that increased the renewable portfolio standard (RPS) from 10 percent to 15 percent and created a deadline to implement a "grid" charge for future distributed-generation (DG) customers.
After more than 20 hours of negotiation, which included personal intervention of Gov. Rick Snyder in the wee hours of Thursday morning, the bill passed both houses of the legislature and only awaits Snyder's signature. He had made the bill a priority for this legislative session.
The increased RPS means Michigan utilities will have to generate 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by Jan. 1, 2022. But the provision of the bill of most concern to solar advocates was the "grid charge," a charge the utilities say they have to have on DG solar customers pay their fair share of grid upkeep.
(There is no evidence that solar customers harm non-solar customers by increasing costs on them. In fact, most studies show solar consumers are a net benefit to non-solar customers).
Under the provisions of the bill, the Michigan Public Service Commission (PSC) must establish a "nondiscriminatory, fair, and equitable" grid-charge by Dec. 1, 2017, though the PSC can implement it any time before that deadline.
Current DG solar customers are exempt from the grid-charge, as are customers who join a net-metering program before the PSC institutes it. Only customers who install solar after the grid-charge is instituted will pay it.
Reactions from solar advocates were mixed.
Similarly, The Alliance for Solar Choice (TASC) spoke about the potentially conflicting messages the bill sends to solar customers.
"We were encouraged to see elected officials from both sides of the aisle work to improve the bill to protect a consumer's ability to generate their own electricity with solar," said Amy Heart, a TASC spokesperson. "We still have serious concerns over how the distributed generation tariffs will be calculated based on the language in the bill.
"It's now up to elected officials to help guarantee a fair, equitable process — and we look forward to working with Governor Synder and legislative leaders to ensure no discriminatory charges will be levied on solar customers going forward," Heart added.
Moved the Michigan Renewables Energy Program from the PSC to the Michigan Agency for Energy.
Maintained a 10-percent customer-choice carve-out, giving customers electricity choices outside of the state's two major utilities.
Defined "qualifying facility" (QF) as qualifying cogeneration facilities or qualifying small power production facilities from which an electric utility in the state has an obligation to purchase energy and capacity within the meaning of Sections 201 and 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) and associated federal regulations and orders.
Required the PSC to, at least every five years, conduct a contested case proceeding to reevaluate the procedures and rate schedules, including avoided cost rates to implement provisions of PURPA as it relates to QFs.
Allowed, for small utilities (less than 1 million electric customers), the PSC to conduct periodic reevaluations using notice and comment procedures instead of a full contested case.
Serve as liaison for businesses and individuals by guiding energy issues, problems, and disputes to the appropriate entity, agency,or venue for resolution.
Monitor activities of the PSC, Michigan Agency for Energy, and other state regulatory entities and communicate those entities' decisions, policy changes, and developments to businesses and individuals. Issues to be monitored include renewable sources of energy, energy efficiency and net metering, among others.
Convene regular meetings to share information and developments pertaining to energy issues, policies, and administrative processes affecting businesses and individuals in the state.

In vivo mutagenesis by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. Ile(709) in motif A functions in base selection.
Department of Pathology, Joseph Gottstein Memorial Cancer Research Laboratory, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-7705, USA.
The fidelity of DNA replication by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I (pol I) was assessed in vivo using a reporter plasmid bearing a ColE1-type origin and an ochre codon in the beta-lactamase gene. We screened 53 single mutants within the region Val(700)-Arg(712) in the polymerase active-site motif A. Only replacement of Ile(709) yielded mutator polymerases, with substitution of Met, Asn, Phe, or Ala increasing the beta-lactamase reversion frequency 5-23-fold. Steady-state kinetic analysis of the I709F polymerase revealed reductions in apparent K(m) values for both insertion of non-complementary nucleotides and extension of mispaired primer termini. Abolishment of the 3'-5' exonuclease activity of wild-type pol I increased mutation frequency 4-fold, whereas the combination of I709F and lack of the 3'-5' exonuclease yielded a 400-fold increase. We conclude that accurate discrimination of the incoming nucleotide at the polymerase domain is more critical than exonucleolytic proofreading for the fidelity of pol I in vivo. Surprisingly, the I709F polymerase enhanced mutagenesis in chromosomal DNA, although the increase was 10-fold less than in plasmid DNA. Our findings indicate the feasibility of obtaining desired mutations by replicating a target gene at a specific locus in a plasmid under continuous selection pressure.

What Are The Most Popular BMW Colors?
BMW has been quite particular about picking launch colors for its most coveted halo vehicles throughout the years (think: M5 and M4 CS). But, more often than you may imagine – particularly lately – that aura of uniqueness filters down to
BMW has been quite particular about picking launch colors for its most coveted halo vehicles throughout the years (think: M5 and M4 CS). But, more often than you may imagine – particularly lately – that aura of uniqueness filters down to us ordinary humans. Customized paint requests are now available at the Spartanburg factory, making individual orders simpler to submit and execute than ever before — a genuine win-win situation. Today, we'll take a look at some of the most famous BMW colors of all time.
Violet Techno
European Auto Source builds a Techno Violet Metallic BMW E36 M3 Image 15 830×519 Image by European Auto Source Techno Violet was first offered as an optional paint on the 5 and 8 series in the early 1990s, but it is most known for being available on the E36 M3. It has remained a fixture in the BMW individual paint vocabulary until this day. Despite the fact that the E36 M3 had the largest manufacturing numbers, there are reportedly approximately a dozen E46 M3s in Techno Violet in the United States, as well as lots of F8x vehicles.
According to the forums, a lot of soon-to-be G8x owners are also ordering the hue. There are also a few of extremely desired E31 850CSi vehicles circulating. Though it's currently only available as a BMW unique color, it used to be possible to get a nice basic 3 Series with it for a little fee.
2015 BMW 730Ld carbon black 7 750×500 BMW 730Ld carbon black 7 750×500 BMW 730Ld carbon black 7 750×500 Carbon black was first introduced on the E39 M5, and it has since become one of the most popular BMW hues. The M Sport Package is now the sole requirement, despite the fact that it was previously only available on real M vehicles. Carbon Black is available on all BMW models from the X3 to the 8 Series, including the premium 7 Series and grand-tourer 8 Series.
Carbon black is known for its metallic tint, which seems more "blue" than black. While its extended manufacturing duration has made it a safe pick, there is another hue that has been around for a little longer…
Alpine White (Alpine White)
Alpine White will undoubtedly become a historical narrative, having been introduced in a place before time (well, 1979). Alpine White is available on everything from the 1 Series to the 8 Series, and with no end in sight, it will most certainly predate some of our readers – and writers – while outlasting the other half.
Alpine White, unlike the majority of the other colors on this list, has a metallic counterpart in the equally popular Mineral White. Alpine, although equally readily accessible, has lasted longer and is still a free gift, making it more popular than its more metallic cousin.
Blue of San Marino
San Marino Blue was introduced for the first time on a one-of-a-kind E92 M3, although most people remember it as an initial color for the M6 Coupe in the early 2010s. It reached its pinnacle of uniqueness as one of just five colors available on the ultra-rare F80/F82 generation M3 and M4 CS. San Marino Blue, unlike many of the other hues on our list, isn't easy to come by these days. To receive it, you'd have to order it as an individual color. This, I believe, will add to its uniqueness and allow it to fetch top money in the future.
The 620-horsepower BMW M140i was pushed hard at the Nurburgring.
Blue Laguna Seca
Lacuna Seca is a bit of an outlier on our list, since it was only offered on one model and for a brief period, but it remains firmly entrenched in the hearts and minds of BMW fans all around the globe. Laguna Seca Blue M3s (or LSB as it's more generally known) were introduced on the E46 M3 and rapidly became the gold standard for E46 exchanges, usually trading more than other colors even early on in the car's unavoidably collectable futures market.
Apart from it,
There are a few potential champions who certainly deserve to be included. Let's start with Dravit Grey, the most current. Dravit, which debuted very recently, has a unique shimmer in the sunshine, blending gold and mild red colours while preserving a beautiful dark grey color.
Evolve Automotive provided the image. Tanzanite Blue has likewise established itself as a front-runner in the "future classic" market, having debuted almost ten years ago in 2012 and now appearing as an option on everything from the 3 Series and X3 to the G80/G82 automobiles.
Lime Rock Grey is a one-of-a-kind hue that debuted on the F80/F82 M3 and M4 CS and hasn't been – and I doubt it will ever be – offered as a no-cost or low-cost option on another vehicle. It's named after Lime Rock Park in Connecticut, a world-famous racing circuit that also happens to be a favorite of the local BMW CCA.
So there's a short rundown of some of BMW's greatest colors throughout the years. Though several of them started out as M-specific hues or still are, virtually all of them are now widely accessible colors that don't always fetch the price premium that their unique tints indicate. That is, at least, our opinion, which raises the question: what are your favorite BMW colors?
BMW Group's earnings are the highest in the company's 106-year history.
"I will never sell my E36 BMW M3," says a podcast host.

Gabriel Nicolaus Raspe (* 4. Dezember 1712 in Crelpa Rittergut b. Neustadt an der Orla; † 25. Oktober 1785 in Nürnberg) war ein deutscher Buchhändler, Kunsthändler und Verleger.

Leben und Wirken
Gabriel Nicolaus Raspe wurde am 4. Dezember 1712 auf dem Rittergut Crelpa, zwischen Saalfeld und Neustadt an der Orla gelegen, geboren. Sein Vater war der Verwalter des genannten Brandensteinischen Gutes und späterer Steuereinnehmer und Bürgermeister von Laucha an der Unstrut. Seine Mutter war eine Enkelin des rudolstädtischen Superintendenten Soeffing. Dieser Ehe entstammten neun Kinder, von welchen Gabriel Nicolaus der zweite Junge war. Raspe besuchte die Lateinschule in Naumburg und absolvierte eine Lehre als Buchhändler in der Körner'schen Buchhandlung in Leipzig. Nach seiner Lehre arbeitete er in verschiedenen Buchhandlungen in der Weygand'schen Buchhandlung in Helmstedt, in der Zimmermann'schen Buchhandlung in Wittenberg und Zerbst und nahm schließlich eine Stelle in der damals berühmten Buchhandlung von Gleditsch in Leipzig an.

Im Jahr 1739 wurde er von der Witwe des verstorbenen Johann Stein zum Leiter der Johann Stein'schen Buchhandlung in Nürnberg berufen, die er nun bis zu dem 1743 erfolgten Tode der Witwe Steins fortführte. Ein Jahr später verheiratete sich Raspe mit der Tochter Steins, Dorothea Maria Stein, und führte dann in Gemeinschaft mit dem jüngeren Stein, seinem Schwager, die umfangreiche Sortiments- und Verlagsbuchhandlung weiter, deren Firma nun von 1744 bis 1753 "Stein und Raspe" lautete. Während dieser zehn Jahre brachte die Handlung ca. 75 Verlagswerke auf den Büchermarkt.

Nach dem Tod seiner Frau 1752 trennten sich Stein und Raspe 1754 in folgender Weise: Stein übernahm die Sortimentsbuchhandlung und Raspe die Verlagsbuchhandlung. Raspe heiratete 1758 erneut, eine Tochter des Amtsverwalters Krakhers zu Rechenhof, Maria Margaretha Sabina Regina, und baute seinen Verlag weiter aus. Im Jahre 1763 hatte Raspe die Auslieferung des gesamten Verlages der Firma Johann Friedrich Gaum in Ulm und Johann Michael Seiz in Nürnberg übernommen, schließlich besaß er mehr als sechshundert Verlagsartikel. Nach seinem am 25. Oktober 1785 erfolgten Tod wurde dieses Kommissionslager wiederum aufgelöst. Ein besonderes Verdienst erwarb sich Raspe durch die aufopfernde Pflege der naturwissenschaftlichen Literatur, sein wohl bedeutendstes Werk als Verleger ist die Geschichte der Kriege in und außer Europa von Christoph Heinrich Korn.

Seine Witwe setzte die Verlagsartikel fort und führte die Handlung bis 1815 mit fremder Hilfe weiter. Im Jahr 1816 übernahm der Buchhändler Bauer in Gemeinschaft mit den Erben die Handlung, so dass von nun ab die Firma "Bauer & Raspe" lautete. 1835 ging das Geschäft an Julius Merz über, 1867 kam die Firma an Ludwig Korn und 1872 an Emil Küster.

The Heima's Tricks Have Jennifer Lopez Grabbing Her Head in 'World of Dance' Sneak Peek (Exclusive)
Television By TooFab Staff | 4/18/2019 1:53 PM PT
Boys, Babes and Beats: The Scene at Coachella 2019 View Photos
The explosive b-boy group brings out tricks never seen before on this or any other dance show as they vie for one of only three spots in their division.
The Heima continues to come on strong in the Upper Team division on "World of Dance," and their latest routine from "The Cut" has Jennifer Lopez grabbing her head in shock at some of this b-boy crew's ridiculous stunts.
Hailing from South Korea, this crew has been redefining breakdancing with their unique fusions of the street style with contemporary storytelling sensibilities and a unique visual style. After battling their way through the first two rounds of competition in their division, they face their biggest challenge yet in "The Cut."
'World of Dance' 5th Judge: Heart-Shaped Balloon Unexpectedly Moves Panel to Tears
In this round, half of the remaining contestants will not make the cut meaning it's time to pull out all the stops and every trick in the bag. And that's just what the Heima did. In this exclusive clip, their stunning routine had the judges catching their breath through crazy moment after moment.
Derek Hough, Ne-Yo and J.Lo weren't the only ones gasping, either, as the crowd was absolutely losing it as The Heima laid out tricks and moves and visuals never seen before on this or any other dance competition show.
They had what can only be described as a pretzel roll between two of the dancers, a surfboard move in the middle and one guy spinning on his head so fast it looked like he was going to drill a hole through the ground.
'World of Dance' 5th Judge: The Duels Wrap Up with Season's First Perfect Score
The Heima has never failed to impress, but they also come into the round ranked third in their division. And in this round, only three move on from each division. So the pressure's on and the stakes could not be higher.
Can they scrape by again? Will this outstanding performance be enough to supplant the two groups that have stayed ahead of them on the scoreboard through two rounds of competition thus far: The Kings and Unity LA. If they can't beat either of them, they just have to beat everyone else. No big deal, right?
"The Cut" wraps up with both The Heima's Upper Team division, as well as the Juniors battling it out, Sunday night at 8 p.m .ET on NBC.

I'm a big proponent of letting your hair dry naturally, but many times that's just not possible. Fortunately, there are good quality hair dryers available that work with you to prevent heat damage. There are also useful methods for how you can blow dry your hair without damaging it, and I'll talk about those later.
Since I don't have all the time in the world to let my hair dry every time I wash it, I need to use a hairdryer sometimes. So, investing in a good hairdryer which doesn't cause damage and can dry the hair quickly is an important investment for anyone who is trying to grow and maintain long hair that is healthy.
At least 1800 watts and above.
Remember that you're investing in something that you are going to be using often and possibly for years. So think about that when deciding which one you want to go for. Choosing a quality product will always give better results.
I have listed below three different Hair Dryers that will dry and style your hair without causing hardly any heat damage (if any) in the process.
A great hair dryer from Kadori, which is a more affordable hair dryer for most people, yet still provides a good and fast blow dry.
I've put this as the first choice because not only is it within the price range for most people, you get the most 'bang for your buck' as it has all the features that I've talked about here.
This hair dryer also has other features like wind speed power settings, 3 temperature settings, and a cool shot button.
Its affordability is reason enough to invest in this hair dryer. It is a more entry-level professional hair dryer but certainly doesn't lack the quality that you'd expect from one in this category.
Using the LI A 2500 x-air technology, Kadori claims that its hair dryer can reduce time to trying by up to 70%, which means much less heat damage. Not bad for a lower priced, professional hair dryer.
This hair dryer works great for people with thick hair and also generates negative ions, meaning you can dry your hair much faster than with regular cheap blow dryers.
Some people report that they have seen their dry time reduced by 5 – 10 minutes compared to their previous (cheaper) hair dryer.
It's ceramic, which means you'll get a much faster drying time and it'll be healthier for your hair as the heat is spread more evenly and not concentrated in one area.
This hair dryer also contains many of the features that you would generally expect for a mid to high-end hair dryer. It has 2-speed settings, 3 heat settings, a cool shot button to get that awesome finish, and a long chord.
This hair dryer is an excellent choice if you want a quality hair dryer which will cause minimum damage to your hair, and also not break the bank when it comes to cost.
So, you've probably heard of Dyson vacuum cleaners, which are pretty good! Well, you can expect nothing less from their Supersonic Hair Dryer.
This hair dryer meets all of our criteria and some more. It contains smart technology using its microprocessor to measure the temperature of the air flow at 20 times per second, and intelligently adjusts the heating element as you dry your hair, which means that your hair never overheats and you don't risk damaging your hair because it stays at a constant temperature.
This will help you keep the natural shine to your hair, and avoid that dull look, which can occur with hair that has been damaged by heat.
The hair dryer comes with many features and accessories such as Heat Settings, 3 Airflow Settings, Cold Shot, Ionizer, Filters, Concentrator, Diffusor and more. So, you're well equipped to style and do your hair however you want.
The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is rather expensive, but this hair dryer would be my top pick. However, due to the price of it, unless you really just want the top of the line, it's probably not for the average person who just wants to get a decent blow dry.
Watch the video below to find out the hair dryer works to prevent damage during blow drying.
How their technology helps prevent damage when blow drying.
There are a few important things that you need to look out for if you want to buy the best hair dryer to keep your long hair looking healthy and attractive. Not investing in a good quality hair dryer will make it much more difficult to maintain long hair, unless you have your own schedule and aren't ever leaving the house.
Below are a few tips on how to choose the best hair dryer to prevent hair loss.
Choose a hair dryer that has more power. I would recommend a hair dryer that is at least 1800 watts. If you have thick hair like me, you probably want to go for something a bit more powerful. The less time that you have the hair dryer heating your hair, the less damage there will be.
If you want to dry your hair fast, then look for an ionic function on the hairdryer. This will help evaporate moisture more quickly, and so you'll spend less time blow drying your hair, which again means less damage.
To help diffuse or concentrate heat, many hair dryers come with attachments that will be useful depending on your hair type and how you want to style your hair.
Attachments like concentrators and diffusers are important for certain types of hair, different styles and protecting from concentrating too much heat in one area.
You'll want blow dryer that has various heat settings. This seems like a no-brainer, right? We need more speed and less heat. A cool shot button is also useful to prevent over-drying of the hair. When your hair is mostly dry, perhaps a little damp, just use the cool shot button and finish off.
Many of the professional hair dryers are made with better quality materials and so they will last longer and feel lighter than the cheaper models.
Having a longer power cord is important for a couple of reasons. One reason is that it's safer and gives you more room to move around. If you're drying someone else's hair or your own, and the power socket isn't near, then having a longer cord is useful. It's also not recommended to use an extension cable to these devices either because of the power they draw.
If you're drying your hair incorrectly, then you can easily damage your hair, making it look dull and dry. But I guess you probably know that by now.
There was a study that really surprised me when I read it a few years ago. It basically shows that not only can you dry your hair with very little damage, but drying your hair with a hairdryer is less damaging than air drying!
As long as the temperature did not exceed 95 degrees C, and the hairdryer was held at a distance of approximately 15 cm with continuous motion, there was actually less damage than drying the hair naturally.
If you were to use the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer then these overheating issues won't be a concern because their microprocessor enables the hair dryer to automatically adjust, so it remains at a constant temperature.
But if you're using some of the cheaper options, like most of us, then this is good news because no longer do we have to worry so much about damaging our hair when using a hairdryer.
Dry Shampoo – Good or Bad?


Team Christina's Devyn DeLoera has established herself as something of a fan favorite in Season 3 of The Voice. Devyn is one of the artists who interacts the most with Voice fans and fellow artists, whether it's on Twitter or by hosting a spontaneous UStream chat, and fans have embraced her outgoing personality.
Now that it's her turn to be part of The Voice, Devyn's living out the ultimate performer's dream – in joining Christina Aguilera's team, she's working one-to-one with the artist who inspired her to sing in the first place. She got there by having the courage to sing one of Christina's own songs, "Ain't No Other Man," for her blind audition. What was going through her mind when she made that decision?
There's no doubt that chance paid off and Devyn is thrilled to be a part of Team Christina. "I thought it would be easy to handle [working with her] and it's definitely not. I get really nervous," she admitted with a laugh. "In my opinion, she's the best singer in the world right now. To me, this is like somebody [I] wouldn't ever meet, too far up for me to ever know, and she knows me.
Although she already knows whether or not she survives the knockout rounds, which were pre-taped earlier this summer, Devyn has already set goals for life beyond the show. "I would love to maybe get some recognition from other labels if [I] don't win," she said. "I would love to continue doing something in this industry. I love to sing; it's my first passion for sure.
You can keep up with Devyn on Twitter (@DevynDeLoera) and see if she makes it through to the live rounds as Team Christina takes the stage tonight at 8 PM ET/PT on NBC.
Love you Devyn! Keep it up girl!

Be okay with being different!
We tell our kids this, and our friends, but most of us don't really believe it deep down. If you think about it, how often do you find yourself slipping into that place of needing to find a way to fit in? The only problem with that is that to have the results in your life that only five percent of the population has, you need to think and perform and be like the five percent of the population who are taking charge of their lives. When you start owning who you are, owning your power, being more productive, more loving, more physically fit and energetic and happy, you're lifting your standards and are no longer settling for mediocrity. Honestly,did any of us ever say, "When I grow up, I'm going to settle for being mediocre, average, and fitting in"? Of course not. The problem is that most people spend their time watching TV, being reactive, being busy just being busy, planning, and playing the victim, letting life coast by.
What you want to be is an anti-victim, an A player, and a leader. Own your inner visionary and you can change the world. Did you know that every visionary was first ridiculed before he or she was revered?
It happened to me. When I first started out as an author, many of my family, friends, acquaintances, and even fellow authors would pooh-pooh me for even thinking I could succeed, saying things to bring me down instead of getting behind me and saying things to lift me up. They had that negative instinct, which is the first reactive instinct in all of us. Just know that you really can change the world and do amazing things, or you can choose to fit in with the herd. You can't do both. I chose not to fit in with the herd but rather to walk that lonely path that has given me so much self-confidence, love, and gratitude, and it's changed me into a better person.
One of the challenges is understanding how. How do you manage to be different from everyone else? How do you manage when people don't understand you? When you're a leader and are running your best life, it's a lonely sport. People will wonder why you're getting up so early, why you're being so positive, why you're not participating in a conversation to gossip and tear someone down, why you're radiating your best and being optimistic or loving with strangers, why you're doing world-class work when most people are just coasting, just getting by. No one signed on for settling, so don't settle, and don't spend the best hours of your day, or your life, being busy just being busy. Embrace the fact that you're different, and be okay with every part of yourself, inside and out, that's different from everyone else.

There has been a recent increase in cases of mumps in our area including local colleges and elementary, middle and high schools. Mumps is a virus that we vaccinate against with the MMR vaccine, there is no treatment or cure. Mumps infection can have no symptoms or it can cause swollen, painful salivary glands, fever, headache, fatigue, and appetite loss. Complications from mumps are rare, but can be serious if left untreated. These include inflammation of testicles or ovaries which can cause infertility, pancreatitis, and hearing loss. Most severely mumps can cause meningitis or encephalitis which can lead to death.
Vaccination against mumps is about 88% effective. Mumps outbreaks can still occur in highly vaccinated U.S. communities, particularly in close-contact settings. In recent years, outbreaks have occurred in schools, colleges, and camps. However, high vaccination coverage helps limit the size, duration, and spread of mumps outbreaks.
It is EXTREMELY important to vaccinate against mumps to prevent extensive outbreaks of the disease. High vaccination rates increase herd immunity to protect children under 12 months who cannot get the MMR vaccine and those who are immune compromised and are more susceptible to disease.
Please do your part for the health of your child and the health of our community and nation. Public health is all of our responsibilities!! Vaccination saves lives!!

A watchable first feature by English writer-director Mike Figgis, beautifully shot by Roger Deakins. It's America Week in Newcastle, and an American gangster/businessman (Tommy Lee Jones) is trying to take advantage of this by forcing the owner of a local jazz club (Sting) to sell his building. Meanwhile, a Polish free jazz group arrives at the club, and a young Irishman (Sean Bean) working there gets involved with a part-time hooker (Melanie Griffith) working for the American. While there's something rather glacial about this international parable and noirish exercise, apart from a few amusing gags, the actors, settings, and music manage to hold the interest, and the underlying themethe precise equivalence of Reaganism and gangsterism for most English peoplestill has its points.

Speak, Silent One
The first feature of Manuel Gutierrez Aragon, Habla, mudita (1973), focuses on the relationship between a book publisher (Lopez Vazquez) and a deaf-mute shep< -herd<-ess (Kiti Manver) in a mountainous countryside setting. Interpreted by some as an allegory about the isolation of Spanish intellectuals toward the end of Franco's regime, the film was shot by cinematographer Luis Cuadrado.
A rather awkward and ineffectual story about two Hungarian-American brothers in San Francisco trying to establish their identities, directed by Steven Kovacs. Despite the evident sincerity of the themethe generational and cultural gap between the values of the father and those of his two sons (one of whom eventually discovers he is gay)and its treatment, the film lacks the craft to put it all together into a coherent form. With Eric Larson, Robert Locke, Tara Erra, Vander Gaw, and Neil Young.… Read more »
Shy People
Andrei Konchalovsky's engrossing feature about a New York journalist (Jill Clayburgh) who invites her teenage daughter (Martha Plimpton) along on an expedition to the remote bayous of Louisiana to hunt up some remote relatives for a magazine article she's writinga journey that leads her to the imperious and eccentric widow Ruth (Barbara Hershey) and her family. The interesting and exciting thing about this exercise in comparative anthropologywhich can incidentally be read as a brilliantly understated cold-war allegoryis that it is never complacent or obvious; the relative values of civilization and primitivism are constantly juxtaposed, but without the kind of facility that one would expect from such a venture. The mysticism and poetry of Konchalovsky's conception, moreover, are never forced, and never allowed to interfere with the film's value as entertainment (adventure, comedy, and melodrama, with a faint touch of fantasy)yielding a movie that manages to be Russian in conception without sacrificing any of its local truths. Gerard Brach and Marjorie David collaborated with Konchalovsky on the script; with Merritt Butrick, John Philbin, and Mare Winningham. Chris Menges is the talented cinematographer; the music is by Tangerine Dream. (JR)… Read more »
The cops and the crack dealers are in cahoots in this New York smash-banger, and a legal aid attorney (Peter Weller) and an undercover cop (Sam Elliott) mutter macho witticisms out of the sides of their mouths, kick occasional ass, and allow their stuntmen stand-ins to prove that they're the good guys. The problem with routine crime and law enforcement fantasies of this kind is that their vague stabs at authenticity are completely subverted by action sequences that belong in Road Runner cartoons. James Glickenhaus wrote and directed this childish nonsense pretty skillfully, as if it made sense. With Patricia Charbonneau, Antonio Fargas, and Blanche Baker. (JR)… Read more »
Sexuality In Experimental Cinema
Pretty much a hodgepodge program, with the following titles: James Broughton's Four in the Afternoon (1951) and This Is It (1971), Kenneth Anger's Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome (1954), Paul Sharits's Peace Mandala/End War (1966), George Kuchar's Hold Me While I'm Naked (1966), Ed Emshwiller's Relativity (1966), and the late Curt McDowell's Nudes (A Sketchbook) (1975). The problem with collections of this kind is that, interesting as many of the individual titles are, they seldom go well together, and seeing half a dozen very different experimental filmmakers at one stretch tends to require too many mental gear changes.… Read more »
Bob Hope plays a hypochondriac millionaire who thinks that he only has two weeks to live; Martha Raye plays a gold digger who marries him at a Swiss spa. Elliott Nugent directed this 1939 comedy, scripted by Preston Sturges along with Don Hartman and Frank Butler; Andy Devine, Alan Mowbray, Gale Sondergaard, Sig Rumann, and Monty Woolley are among the stars. Graham Greene seemed rather fond of this when it came out.… Read more »
The Nether Regions
This varied program of ten short, tasteless underground shockers is also billed as The Lower Depths, but if we listed it that way, you might confuse it with the adaptations of the Gorki play by Renoir and Kurosawa. The films to be shown: John Waters's notorious and very early The Diane Linkletter Story (with Divine), 14 short films made with Otto Muehl's Reichian Viennese commune, Willard Maas's self-regarding Orgia (filmed by his wife Marie Menken), Curt McDowell's Polanski parody Stinkybutt, Rudy Burckhardt's satiric Sodom and Gomorrah, Stan Brakhage's The Women, Herbert Jean de Grasse's satiric The Organic Vampire, David Devensky's Caterpillars and Ants, Richard Beveridge's Keep Bright the Devil's Doorknobs, and Osamu Tezuka's Jumping.

Naked Spacesliving Is Round
Significantly, when Vietnamese filmmaker Trinh T. Minh-ha gives herself a director's credit in her remarkable meditation on West African life and architecture, she places an X over the word directed. Why? Because a central aspect of her project is the dislocation of the authority by which we generally presume to understand the alien, and redirection and indirection are equally descriptive of what she is up to. A composer and a poet, she pans and cuts in irregular rhythms, continually stopping and starting, and rather than direct our focus and interpretation like an anthropologist, she interweaves three distinctly accented female voices speaking English, each of which conveys a different kind of discourse, traversing the images at different angles. Like the separate typefaces in Mallarme's poem A Throw of the Dice Will Never Abolish Chance, these voices and mesmerizing recordings of African music encircle and commingle with their subjects rather than appropriate them in linear/colonial/narrative fashion. (Sample: The house is composed like the human body. The earth or clay is the flesh, the water the blood, the stones the bones, and the placid surface of the walls the skin.) The results are both beautiful and instructive, a duet between filmmaker and subject, disclosures and enclosures, which remains perpetually fresh and unpredictable over the film's 134 minutes.… Read more »
Cantonese director Yim Ho's delicate and touching film charts the return of Coral (Josephine Koo), an attractive Hong Kong businesswoman in her thirties, to her native village in southern mainland China. Staying with her childhood friend Pearl (Si Quin Gao Wa)now a school principal married to a farmer, with a daughtershe discovers that her urban life and problems have irrevocably estranged her from the ways and attitudes of the village, although she and Pearl make many heartfelt efforts to bridge their differences. Kong Liang's screenplay eschews melodrama and big events for quiet insights, and a remarkably dense portrait of the village emerges, framed by Yim with a distinctive grasp of composition, landscape, and personal detail that occasionally evokes the complexity of a Brueghel. The performances are nuanced and moving, and one comes to know these peoplenot only the heroines, but Pearl's defensive and tongue-tied husband, an unruly and mercenary little boy, a man who can't read the letters in English his son sends him from UCLA, a wise uncle, and many otherson a first-name basis.… Read more »
Edgar Reitz's 15<4-hour film is an attempt to restore a sense of continuity to 20th-century German history by presenting 63 years, from 1919 to 1982, in the life of Schabbach, a small village in the Hunsruck region. The chief characters are the members of the Simon familythe grandfather is a blacksmith, the grandson will be the founder of a precision optical companyand the shape of the plot is dictated by the century's constantly changing economic and political conditions, driving some members of the family to emigrate, others to form alliances with the Nazis, others to find prosperity in the postwar economic miracle. Reitz avoids the ceremonial eventsbirths, deaths, marriagesthat usually punctuate this sort of family chronicle, concentrating instead on the textures of daily existence and the shifting relationships among the characters. Though not without its longueurs (the treatment of the 50s, for example, is largely limited to an extremely conventional tale of adolescent frustration and romantic revolt) and marked by a rising nostalgia for the good old days as opposed to the debased present, Reitz's project stands as a monumental act of imagination, teeming with evocative incident and Proustian detail.

Zazie In The Metro
Arguably Louis Malle's best work (1960). Based on Raymond Queneau's farcical novel about a little girl (Catherine Demongeot) left in Paris for a weekend with her decadent uncle (Philippe Noiret), this wild spree goes overboard reproducing Mack Sennett-style slapstick, parodying various films of the 1950s, and playing with editing and color effects (the cinematography is especially impressive), all in an effort to create equivalents to Queneau's extravagant wordplay, though gradually it becomes a rather disturbing nightmare about fascism. Forget the preposterous claim by a few critics that the movie's editing influenced Alain Resnais, but there's no doubt that Malle affected Richard Lesterand was clearly influenced himself by William Klein, credited here as a visual consultant. A rather sharp, albeit soulless, film, packed with ideas and glitter and certainly worth a look. In French with subtitles. 93 min. (JR)… Read more »
Though Michelangelo Antonioni's only American film was very poorly received when it was released in 1969, time has been much kinder to it than to, say, La Notte, which was made a decade earlier. Antonioni's nonrealistic approach to American counterculture myths and his loose and slow approach to narrative may still put some people offalong with the uneven dialogue (credited to Fred Gardner, Sam Shepard, Tonino Guerra, Clare Peploe, and the director)but his beautiful handling of 'Scope compositions and moods has many lingering aftereffects, and the grand and beautiful apocalyptic finale is downright spectacular. With Mark Frechette, Daria Halprin, and Rod Taylor. 112 min. (JR)… Read more »
A George Lucas special-effects fantasy epic about war, peace, munchkins, and magic directed by Ron Howard, although reportedly executive producer Lucas periodically took over the reins to make it his own. Screenplay by Bob Dolman, based on a story by Lucas; the lead actors are Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Jean Marsh, and Billy Barty. This is pretty much the Lucas mixture as usual, this time in a Tolkien mode, with everything from the Old Testament to Kurosawa to Disney fed into a blender and turned into wallpaper. For easy-to-please five-year-olds of all ages. (JR)… Read more »
Michael Radford's follow-up feature to Nineteen Eighty-Four deals with the hedonism and decadence of aristocratic English colonialists in Kenya in 1940, where the opening months of World War II had relatively little impactspecifically, in a place called Happy Valley near Nairobi. Drugs, sexual intrigue, and the murder of the Earl of Erroll (Charles Dance) comprise the main bill of fare. Based on the best-selling book by James Fox, with an all-star cast including Greta Scacchi, Joss Ackland, Sarah Miles, Geraldine Chaplin, Ray McAnally, Murray Head, John Hurt, and Trevor Howard. An exceedingly handsome filmthanks to Roger Deakins's cinematography, and the beauty of both the African settings and Scacchibut also a fairly empty one whose voyeuristic relationship to the upper-class decadence seems rather two-faced. Although far from boring, this is a serious disappointment for fans of Nineteen Eighty-Four. (JR)… Read more »

The recent invasion and occupation of the northern part of Mali by groups of Islamist rebels brought havoc to the region. The imposition of a particularly draconian form of Sharia law was accompanied by the wanton 'purging' of cultural sites and artefacts deemed at odds with the extreme Islamist views of the occupying Ansar Dine, the so-called 'Defenders of the Faith'. This began with the razing of ancient shrines of Sufi saints (the Sufi version of Islam being considered especially idolatrous) and culminated in the Ahmed Baba Centre in Timbuktu being deliberately torched as the militants were finally driven out of the city by French troops at the end of January.
Reviewed in the AR in April 2010, the Ahmed Baba Centre was purpose built to house a unique collection of Mali's historic manuscripts. Covering an array of subjects from poetry to astronomy, these fragile, calligraphic treasures testify to the richness of Africa's cultural and intellectual past, challenging the commonly held notion that the continent could only sustain an oral tradition. Ironically, in view of recent events, many were polemical tracts on issues such as slavery, divorce and the possibility of peaceful coexistence between Christians, Jews and Muslims. Now part of this priceless heritage is lost forever.
Between the 12th and 16th centuries, Timbuktu became an important centre for commerce through the trading of gold, salt, ivory and slaves, and quickly coalesced into a vibrant, multicultural city. This pluralistic society attracted thousands of scholars, transforming Timbuktu into the pre-eminent cultural locus of Muslim Africa. Today some 700,000 manuscripts are estimated to exist in various libraries and private collections, but as Mali is desperately poor, preservation efforts are largely dependent on foreign aid.
However, as impoverished Mali struggles to recover its equilibrium, the nuances of heritage preservation would seem to be a low national priority. And as the militants, mainly Tuareg tribesmen, have dispersed into the desert rather than being definitively routed, they may attempt to regroup and launch further assaults. Parts of Timbuktu's old town have UNESCO World Heritage status and could still be at risk if the conflict reignites. During their tyrannical tenure, Ansar Dine radicals threatened to destroy the three great mud mosques of Djingareyber, Sankore and Sidi Yahia, even though these sacred sites played a pivotal role in the early Islamisation of Africa. Burning books, a dependably despotic act with many resonant historical precedents, clearly proved a much easier option.
