I tried all the methods that you have mentioned here but still my problem persist.
My problem is that I cannot open a video file to play on Windows Media Player using OPEN WITH on the Context Menu. I can Open With all other media players except WMC. However, I can play any video clip directly Opening it on the Windows Media Player Icon on my desktop. If I keep this WMP window open and try to use Open With command on Context Menu it works but only once. The next time I try to open the same file error message shows up. "Server Execution failed" So my problem is that I can open WMP directly from the ICON on desktop but not from the Context Menu from desktop.

Tried all steps including re-installing. Only step 1 and 4 worked. 1 only works the next time i start windows media player, the problem returns immediately. 4 works – but I don't want to have to re-install all my applications and setup under a new user account. Is there anything else I can do?
thanks man, here i thought it was some complicated technical issue and it wasnt. Helped a lot.
Troubleshooting Method 2 works for me.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I was searching to solve the problem and my search ends here.
Thank You! I never thought to check Task Manager, and sure enough, WMP was there. It wasn't showing up anywhere else and when you can't find it you can't close it. Sure enough, I "ended the task", checked to see if video plays, and BAM!…I'm back up and running. Thanks again. (WHEW!) Another lesson learned. If that ever happens again..and I know it will!……..

Kenneth is named Dunlop Multi-Skill Champion 2016
Published: 22 June, 2016
Fourteen-year-old multi-skill student Kenneth Sylvester from Doncaster College has been named as the overall winner of Dunlop's Multi-Skill Champion Competition 2016.
The competition was launched by the manufacturer as a way to celebrate and recognise the best multi-skill tiling and decorating students in the country.
Eighteen students aged from 14 to 40 from FE colleges across the UK, which provide the City & Guilds Construction Skills qualification (6219), competed against each other in a series of tiling and decorating tests at the competition's grand final, which was held at Dunlop's Innovation and Technology Centre in Stoke-on-Trent on 16 June.
Following the rigorous assessment, Mr Sylvester was declared the winner and was presented with the winner's trophy and £1,000 worth of tiling and decorating tools, products and equipment, as donated by sponsors Bellota and Coleman Brothers.
After being named the winner Mr Sylvester said: "I'm absolutely speechless, I don't think this will sink in for a long time. I just can't put it into words what it means for me, it's the best thing I ever done.
"Doing the multi-skill course at the college and taking part in this competition has been amazing. I've enjoyed every minute of it, and I just got the hang of it so quickly. It's definitely something I want to do when I finish college."
Gareth Birks, national technical support manager at Dunlop, added: "This is the first time we've run this competition and the interest has been amazing. We've been teaching in colleges for many years and thought this would be a great opportunity to recognise student's skills, while familiarising them with our range of Dunlop tiling adhesives and decorating fillers and smoothers.
"Congratulations to Kenneth who despite his relatively young age was a deserved winner, showing great skill and application, and to all the other competitors for taking part."
Debi Boulton, Dunlop sales and marketing manager, concluded: "The Dunlop Multi-Skill Champion competition was a great chance for construction skills students across the country to test their skills against their peers and win tools and products to give them a good start in the construction industry.
"Multi-skill students are often overlooked and under supported compared with other trades, but with the help and support of suppliers like Dunlop we can ensure they are given the tools and training to succeed in their chosen careers."

A succinct discussion of selected topical, legal matters
Dear Friends and Colleagues
I take great pleasure in submitting the March 2018 edition of Talking Point to you. This edition is also on our website at http://walkers.co.za/.
William Blackstone (1723 –1780) was an English jurist. He struggled in private practice, and gave it up to become a roving lecturer on English law. He had spotted a gap in the market, and the lectures were financially and reputation-wise very successful. The same applied to his subsequent legal text book, and he was appointed to a prestigious Oxford professorship in English Law.
His treatise on the common law of England, Commentaries on the Laws of England, was originally published in four volumes in the late 1860s. It was republished many times, up to the late 1940s; and is perhaps the most influential of all English Law publications. The Commentaries are still regularly referred to in Courts in the English speaking countries, including recently in our Constitutional Court.
His most famous quote is known as Blackstone's ratio:
"It is better that ten guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer."
Some of his views may be considered dated by today's standards, but decide for yourself:
"So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community."
"The public good is in nothing more essentially interested, than in the protection of every individual's private rights."
"[Self-defence is] justly called the primary law of nature, so it is not, neither can it be in fact, taken away by the laws of society."
More quotes from William Blackstone
In this issue:
Auditors at it again
We discuss a Canadian case with certain elements perhaps similar to a matter currently very topical in South Africa. "Garth Drabinsky and Myron Gottlieb built a North American theatre empire …. Seeking ever more spectacular success, they resorted to manipulating the company's financial records. When the scheme came to light, [they] went to jail.
Marital strife and the workplace
We discuss a case involving a SARS employee and her spouse committing fraud, and the latter becoming the whistle-blower when marital strife and acrimony arose.
Good, old-fashioned insider trading
We discuss a Canadian case of which local investors in listed shares ought to take note. The extended definition of an "insider" is broad; and if the source is reliable, it is probably inside information.
Hurry up and do not wait
What should the purchaser do if the seller of immovable property fails to effect transfer promptly? We discuss a case that illustrates that simply sitting back idly is a bad idea.
Uber confusion
Are Uber drivers employees (with concomitant rights) or independent contractors? There have been different answers to this question in different jurisdictions. We discuss a local judgment relating to this question.
Does freedom of speech include the right to shut up?
The famous legal case in this issue is one of the most inspired cases in USA history; in which the Supreme Court overruled its previous opinion regarding children in public schools being obliged to salute the American Flag and to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
As always, I would greatly appreciate your feedback on Talking Point. Please email me at email@example.com.

I wanted to share this with you. So, today you get a bonus Kitchen Tip!
Even though I love a good hot dog on the BBQ (so yummy), in actuality hot dogs really gross me out. When you think of what is in them, it really depresses me. However, today I came across this post on another blog that I frequent and it answered a lot of questions that I had about hot dogs. I hope you enjoy it! I figured it is appropriate since many of us will either be hosting or going to BBQs this weekend.
Happy 3 day weekend!!
0 comment on A Bonus Kitchen Tip!!
Applegate brand (the one the post you refer to mentions) is the best, tastiest brand of hot dog. They are pricey but well worth it. We always use these on the grill. If you haven't tried them yet, give it a shot – I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
I have tried their cheeses. I am super excited about trying their hot dogs. Thank you for confirming how good they are :).

It's finally here people.
The baseball season is back. Hope is in the air. The hope of a division title. The hope of a World Series title.
For some fan bases, hope is all you got. But for Red Sox Nation, Boston is a true contender.
U.S. & World
They key, like any team, is to stay healthy. Yes David Ortiz is gone, and David Price is starting on the disabled list, but this team has some insane talent.
Let's start with pitching. Chris Sale brings something that Price doesn't: attitude, fire, and passion. I'm not saying Price isn't a good pitcher. The guy is a Cy Young winner, but Sale provides something different that the Red Sox need. Rick Porcello is coming off a Cy Young year. He's comfortable now in Boston and I like him to keep it going. I actually expect Eduardo Rodriguez to take another step. He has to stay healthy. That's been his issue, but if he does, he'll be a solid number 4.
Back to Price. I'm worried about him. Not just the mind, but the elbow. Hopefully he can play this season and if he does I bet he wins his first playoff game as a starter in his career for the simple fact that the pressure decreases with the addition of Chris Sale.
Offensively, while this team is without Big Papi, it's still loaded. Mookie Betts will contend for an MVP.
Pedroia, Xander, Hanley, Moreland, and JBJ will all be solid.
The two X-factors here will be Andrew Benintendi and Pablo Sandoval.
The rookie showed flashes of awesomeness last season, but let's see what he can do in a full season.
And can Panda recover from a brutal start in Boston? If he does it's huge. Plus he's money in the post season. That's where they'll need him. And maybe Price too.

Digital Administration Code (CAD)
Guido Scorza
Italian and EU Regulatory affairs
In short
We have to start writing fewer laws and more software [less codes and more code] and, above all, we must ensure that the laws themselves — which are, by definition, both general and abstract — depict only those principles capable of resisting the passage of time and incapable of burdening us with the innovations and technologies of the past.
Detailed, rule-based regulations are to be translated into bit. Conventions for data exchange between administrations in API [Application Programming Interface] and administrative processes in which discretionary activity is either absent or modest are to be transformed into machine to machine processes, making them more efficient and democratic.

Studies have shown a link between chronic depression and the immune system, suggesting that immune system function can decrease when faced with stress and sadness. Depressed individuals seem to produce inflammatory responses in the body, which can decrease healthy metabolic processes and immune system function. The disorder, categorized by the symptoms of sadness and fatigue, has been shown to increase susceptibility to preventable illnesses like a cold or the flu. It is known that the immune system is affected in a large portion of the depressed population, promoting many health experts to advise patients to seek natural stress-reduction techniques to help alleviate depressive symptoms, which in turn may help strengthen immune function.
Research has indicated that individuals suffering from a moderate to severe case of depression tend to react negatively to an invading virus or bacteria entering the body. It is known that those who suffer from depression release inflammatory responses and hormones, like cortisol or adrenaline, which can decrease healthy immune function. In these studies on depression and the immune system, individuals who were depressed were more likely to develop an illness such as the cold or flu compared to people who were categorized as generally happy. More and more researchers agree that depression not only affects the mind and emotions, but has a deteriorating effect on the health of the body.
Depression and the immune system have been studied intensely when dealing with patients who have immune-related diseases, like cancer. It has been shown that individuals who suffer from depression due to a disease diagnosis can unknowingly weaken their immune system. This may slow the overall curing of the disease, as depression, anxiety and stress have all been shown to release hormones that depress the immune system. Many treatment facilities dealing with diseases associated with the immune system often suggest using therapy to help alleviate depressive symptoms.
Health experts specializing in depression and the immune system suggest that those who suffer from depression seek natural outlets of expression to help alleviate depression. These outlets usually include some type of talk therapy, which can be very helpful in reducing stress and depression in some people. By alleviating depression and depressive symptoms, most health specialists agree this can improve immune function and prevent an individual from being more susceptible to viruses or illnesses. For severe cases of depression and anxiety, most doctors recommend an antidepressant to relieve excessive and somewhat dangerous thoughts and emotions associated with the disorder.

Animandel - I have noticed changes in hospitals. Some of the more notable ones being that many hospitals have relaxed the rules for visitation hours. Being alone in a hospital all day and night can be depressing. Visits from friends and family mean a lot.
Hospitals are more relaxed than they were at one time. Uniforms are not so rigid. They are more diverse and cheery. And more personal items are allowed in rooms to give the patient a sense of home.
Post 2
Drentel - That's why so many hospitals have made changes over the years. We now see that a patient's mental and emotional health is connected to his or her physical health. No longer is treating the broken arm and dismissing the frighten ego acceptable.
Post 1
If there is a connection between depression and the immune system then that is unfortunate. After all, when you are ill ( I mean seriously ill) getting depressed can be a natural reaction, and if that is going to weaken your immune system then your chance of recovery is not going to be as good. I think that is an example of the double edged sword.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

text: Hello - I've spent the better part of the last day re-installing python 2.7 (from windows binaries from both activestate and python.org) and PIL. I've done this on two Win7 machines, one 64-bit and one 32-bit. On the 64bit machine, I've installed (and uninstalled) both the 32bit and 64bit versions of python (again, both activestate and python.org binaries). Everything in python and pil works as expected except that certain calls in pil return the error related to the jpeg decoder (IOError: decoder jpeg not available). I've spent hours searching through forums trying to find the fix but no luck. It appears that this type of error has been present for years but not everyone encounters it (based on what I'm seeing in the forums). It also appears that those that do encounter it must resort to tweaking the source and re-compiling pil. Note: I do not know (or really want to know) how to compile from source which is why I'm using the binaries... I've done enough trial and error testing that I believe: - this issue is not unique to my system and - that a significant portion of other people are also encountering it and - that no "easy" (or at least non-techie) fix is available on the net - and please spare me the "real men compile from source" comments :) Thanks for your help, Brian Current Python version is: Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:31:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Simple code to reproduce problem: \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ import Image path_filename_big = "c:\\temp\image\\big\\test_big.jpg" path_filename_small = "c:\\temp\image\\small\\test_small.jpg" def image_to_thumbnail(image_file): im = Image.open(image_file) size = 50,70 im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS) im.save(path_filename_small) image_to_thumbnail(path_filename_big) \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Traceback (most recent call last): File "T:/Dropbox/Dev_Gsi/Python/testing/Testing.py", line 41, in <module> image_to_thumbnail(path_filename_big) File "T:/Dropbox/Dev_Gsi/Python/testing/Testing.py", line 37, in image_to_thumbnail im.thumbnail(size, Image.ANTIALIAS) File "C:\Users\brayb\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python27\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1559, in thumbnail self.load() File "C:\Users\brayb\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python27\site-packages\PIL\ImageFile.py", line 189, in load d = Image._getdecoder(self.mode, d, a, self.decoderconfig) File "C:\Users\brayb\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python27\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 385, in _getdecoder raise IOError("decoder %s not available" % decoder_name) IOError: decoder jpeg not available

Meet our New Virtual Foster LUCY
Lucy came into foster on 8/30/2014 from a back yard breeder. She was in rough shape and we were told she was 9 years old (however she was really 3). She had pyometra (infection in the uterus) as well as several mammary masses which unfortunately were cancerous.
There were so many masses that the opinion was to remove all Lucy's mammary glands. After lots of thought, the foster family decided not to do that as it would be to much for her after everything she had all ready gone through. They decided to look into Homeopathic Medication and although the foster family had never tried this before, they thought it was worth a try. They just could not put Lucy through all that invasive surgery.
Unfortunately she will never be adoptable due to her medical issues but that doesn't matter, she is a forever virtual foster and she is cherished by her foster family. She is being brought back to health through holistic medicine and you can read all about in her BIO on her Facebook page. You can read all about her remedies, her natural food diet and ban against all chemicals and be a part of her family, virtually. So far, little Lucy is comfortable and doing very well.
If you would like to send her something from her wish-list, you can find it here;

It is quite funny how these things work. A while back I had a series of blog posts around Kevin O'Leary's treatment of award winning journalist Chris Hedges. As it turns out, Chris Hedges will be giving a keynote at McGill later this month. The event, which will be held on January 27th, 2012 is open to the public, you just need to register first.
I, along with my Protestcamps.org colleague, Anna Feigenbaum will be both be giving workshops at the day long event which has the title: Media, Politics and Protest Camps in the Occupy Social Movement. My workshop, which has the title Occupy! the Media will provide an introductory look into ideas of media framing and how the mainstream media has represented the Occupy! movement. It will also explore various innovations in the media strategies of various Occupy movements from the use of uStream to the self-publishing of digital newspapers and posters with OccupyDesign and the OccuPrint project.
Full details of this free workshop can be found on the Media@McGill site.
Hope to see some of you there!

How to improve your meetings
It does not matter if we work for small or large firms, the one sure guarantee is that part of our role involves participating in meetings. The more senior we become, the more meetings we attend.
The webinar we ran today reminded me of the wasted time that many of us endure during ineffective and poorly planned events.
This graphic is a great reminder of some of the key factors that can help us me more effective in our communications.

Well…that pitching post hasn't happened yet for a variety of reasons, so here I am writing this post. Hey, we can't help it if we've been caught up in bringing you a wonderful slate of awesome and interesting authors. It happens.
So, let me begin by saying…in the weird combination of circumstances that helped me get my agent, pitching was key. Reiterating: Pitching was key. Since 2007, I had been diligently querying agents over the course of 4 manuscripts. Last year I decided I would attend two pitch conferences, and I ended up pitching to agents, some who took queries and some who did not. In the end, I went with an agent whom I wouldn't have met and sent a manuscript to if I hadn't gone to San Francisco Writers. This agent did not accept open queries.
Pitching may sound to many of you like your worst nightmare. Hey, that's cool. Paper is where authors often present best. We are, a bunch of us, introverts, and the idea of running through a pitch with someone in person, no, that frightens. Even a 140-word tweet, like something you would send in #PitMad or #SffPit frightens the bejeesus out of us. How do you reduce a 120K novel to its tiniest form?
On the other hand…
Some of are more trained for pitching. I am an introvert, but I play an extrovert at my day job as a professor. Every semester I teach, and I've been doing that since 1986. Presenting well, live, is what I do. You might too. You might have one of those professions where you get to talk, a lot. Or you may have a thing for theater or speech class. Some of us do like speaking and do have professional personas. If you are that person, consider pitching.
How do you pitch? Many conferences have pitching as part of their programming. There are pitches at World Con, for example, where you get an unprecedented half hour with an agent. The kind of scenarios at both of the conferences I went to were more like speed dating. We had a couple of minutes, a bell rang, and we talked to another agent.
The key to a good pitch is practice, practice, and more practice. You might get nervous. Knowing the pitch so well that you can follow through on it when you are jittery is important! I've heard agents don't want you to read the pitch, so even though the pitch has a great deal in common with the cover letter, never read your pitch. Don't rattle it off like it's a race. Speak the basic plot and stakes, the genre and word count, and the comps. Emote if you can.
One of the things that helped each time I pitched was that I was on a team. In San Francisco, there were three of us pitching together. In New York, there were 4. We all practiced in our hotel rooms and gave each other tips and suggestions during the process of writing the pitch and during the day before and the morning of the pitch. This is important for the extrovert and the introvert. Never just wing it. We all repped professionally, dressing business so it looked like we took our writing seriously. In general, you want to pitch a finished book, just like you want to query a finished book, the exception being non-fiction.
Now, this might sound great to you. Get a group of friends together, find a writing conference with pitches, and go! That said, be prepared to spend a bit of cash. I like in Iowa. There are no pitch conferences in Iowa. Granted, there are opportunities closer than California and New York, but I'm gonna have to go somewhere. So, there's plane and hotel and the conference itself. These conferences aren't at your average SF/F conference rates. They generally are costs comparable to professional conferences. Is the investment worth it? Well, I understand from the statistics I've seen that pitching is more likely to get you an agent than a query, but getting an agent through either method is slim. Still, there's networking, it's another opportunity, and most writers conferences come with opportunities to meet professionals, get hot tips, and ramp up your game. Genre conferences are a different kind of networking opportunity. Mixing it up with a pro conference can teach you a lot about publishing, and get you a pitching opportunity at the same time.
It should come as no surprise that, having had a positive experience with most of the pitching I did, I would recommend it. Not every pitch was well-received. You will be told no, and you have to deal with that on an immediate time scale. Brush it off. It's not personal. If you feel it's personal, again, maybe pitching is not for you.
Good luck!

First up on our list of the best DJI Mavic pro accessories is a spare battery (at least one!).
Although the Mavic sports a 27-minute flight time, having a spare battery or two is a must have.
27-minutes can go pretty quickly when you're flying a drone and can be over before you know it. It's a pretty rubbish feeling when you've got to stop filming when you've run out of batteries.
Having at least one spare battery will double your flight time and provide you with a lot of freedom in the air.
Knowing that you have spare batteries allows you take your time and pull of some awesome shots. If you're not happy with them, you can always re-shoot with out the stress of running out of batteries.
Although they're expensive, having a spare battery or two is invaluable to any drone pilot. They're definitely one of the best Mavic Pro accessories for any owner.
Filters – A must have for filmmakers and photographers
If you've got a DJI Mavic Pro, the chances are you're looking to shoot some aerial photographs or videos.
It's true that the Mavic Pro has an awesome camera, but it isn't perfect. Having a set of ND filters can really take your footage to the next level.
If you're flying on a sunny day, over exposure can completely ruin your shot. You can attach a neutral density (ND) filter to your drone to limit the amount of light that the camera picks up.
Similarly, when an ND filter is applied to your drones' camera, you're able to reduce its shutter speed without the shot being over exposed. This allows you to shoot some awesome looking photographs with your drone!
This set comes with 6 DJI Mavic Pro filters, consisting of:
It's safe to say ND filters are one of the best DJI Mavic Pro accessories for serious filmmakers and photographers.

Spare Propellers – Must Have!
Propellers are one of the most important parts of your drone. It's extremely important that they're kept in top condition with out any scratches or damages.
Even the slightest fault in your drones' propellers can have disastrous effects.
It's always best to play it safe when it comes to propellers and having a spare set is a very, very good idea.
Although they're important, they're extremely fragile and tend to be easy to break. Luckily for us, spare propellers are pretty cheap, so it may be a good idea to pick up a few sets.
When mounting new propellers, take the time to make sure they are correctly fasted to the drone. They're pretty easy to attach, but it is worth taking extra care whilst you're doing this.
iPad Mini
Being able to have a clear view of what your drone is recording is incredibly important for both filmmakers and photographers.
When I first started flying drones I used to use my smartphone to pilot my drone. That was until I got an iPad Mini. It makes it far easier to see the live feedback from your drones' camera, and allows you to shoot with more accuracy.
It is worth noting that the iPad Mini 4 comes in two varieties, WI-FI only and cellular and Wi-Fi.
Have a Wi-Fi only device means you can't make use of the drones' follow me function. You're also unable to change your home point once the drone has taken off. If you're not interested in using these functions, then a Wi-Fi only model will be more than adequate and a bit cheaper.
If you're looking to get the most out of your drone, then a tablet such as an iPad Mini is one of the best Mavic Pro accessories for you. If this doesn't take your fancy, be sure to check out our list of the best tablets compatible with the DJI Mavic Pro.
Tablet Holder + Lanyard
If like me, you prefer piloting your drone with a tablet, you're going to need a tablet holder.
If your tablet is longer than 6.8 inches and thicker than 0.34 inches, a tablet holder will be required.
Fortunately, they're incredibly affordable and easy to attach to your transmitter.
No tools are required; you simply just place it inside your transmitters device clamps. The tablet holder is also mounted via a rotating gimbal that allows you to have the tablet at the desired angle.
This holder in particular is the number 1 best selling tablet holder for the DJI Mavic Pro.
It's built out of aviation aluminium-alloy and high quality ABS that is not only durable, but also incredibly lightweight.
The tablet comes alongside a lanyard that you can attach to your transmitter. This makes holding your controller a lot easier and also prevents you from dropping it on the floor (something I have unfortunately done).
Sun Shade – A must have if your flying with a tablet!
Flying in the sun is awesome, there's nothing better than taking your Mavic out for a spin on a nice summers day.
Unfortunately, flying on a sunny day isn't as easy as it may seem.
The sun creates a glare on the devices screen, which makes it hard to see what's going on. This is especially true when flying with a tablet.
Having a sunshade for your device will combat this problem and provide you with a clear and undisturbed view of the screen.
This is particularly important for those of you who are looking to fly using FPV and are filming with your Mavic Pro. Glare on your screen will make it hard to see what you're recording and you won't know if you need to shoot it again.
For anyone flying in the bright conditions, a sunshade is one of the best DJI Mavic Pro accessories.

DJI Mavic Pro Range Extender
Another great accessory for your Mavic pro is a range extender. These Windsurfer extenders are lightweight, portable and provide a boost in your drones' maximum range.
It is worth noting that when you're flying your drone, you should always keep it in line of site at all times. In fact, this is the law in most countries.
Before you fly it is always a good idea to brush up on the rules for your country/area.
These range extenders do much more than just increase your Mavic's maximum control distance.
They allow your transmitter to establish a stronger connection to the Mavic Pro; this allows the live feedback to be more stable without lag or technical disturbances.
When you're using these extenders, make sure they are facing the general direction of the Mavic Pro for maximum performance.
Landing Gear Extensions
Up next on our list of the best DJI Mavic Pro accessories are Landing gear extensions. These are a great alternative to a landing a pad and have become a go to accessory for DJI Mavic Pro pilots.
These extensions raise the DJI Mavic Pro 5cm higher and are also designed to act as shock absorbers.
As I previously mentioned, the Mavic Pro rests tantalisingly close to the ground, which makes taking off in some areas dangerous.
These will protect your Mavic Pro from any unwanted bumps or shakes when landing.
Not only are they cheap, they're also very lightweight. Weighing only 27.9grams, they will have virtually no effect on your Mavic flight time.
These landing gear extensions in particular have received an abundance of praise and have amassed a collection highly rated reviews on Amazon.
Backpack – Must Have!
No drone set up is complete with out a backpack or case. The Lowepro View Point BP 250 is an excellent example of a high quality backpack for your DJI Mavic Pro.
Lowepro are a world-renowned manufacturer of high quality camera accessories and equipment. The BP 250 is no exception.
This is actually a multi-purpose backpack and can be used to transport regular camera equipment, or even the DJI Spark.
Inside the backpack you can fit your DJI Mavic Pro, transmitter, 15" laptop, 10" tablet, spare propellers and charging cables.
The Lowepro BP 250 is designed with portability in mind. It weighs only 2.75lbs and is small enough to be used as carry on luggage for flights. This is great if you're looking to go travelling with your Mavic Pro.
Costing less than $100, this really is one of the best Mavic Pro accessories around.
DJI Mavic Pro Hard Case – Must have!
If you're looking for something a bit more heavy duty to protect your Mavic Pro, then this hard case is the perfect solution.
The Nanuk waterproof hard case is one of the best in the business and designed to provide your DJI Mavic Pro with the ultimate protection.
The outside of the case is manufactured using durable and high quality material that provides high impact resistance for your equipment.
The inside of the case is filled with custom coat foam to perfectly house the Mavic Pro and accessories.
It can be used to store the Mavic Pro, transmitter, 4 batteries, ND filters and charging cables. If you're feeling creative, you can also cut your own custom holes into the shock absorbing foam.
The Nanuk is IP67 waterproof rated, which means that it can be submerged in water at 3ft for half an hour with no adverse effect to the equipment inside. I doubt your going to be going swimming with your Mavic any time soon, but it's nice to know that you can!
Also, if you're not a fan of the color, you'll be pleased to hear it is available in orange, yellow, black, silver, graphite and olive.
Joy Stick Protector – Best bang for your buck
When travelling with your Mavic Pro, it's important that you take good care of both the drone and the transmitter.
Joystick protectors are a cost efficient way of ensuring that your joysticks stay in good condition.
Having a faulty joystick can be detrimental to your drone and travelling with your transmitter is an easy way to break it.
These protectors in particular cost less than 10 bucks and act as both a screen and joystick protector. You can travel easy knowing your equipment is safe.
SD Card – Must Have!
To rap up our list of the best DJI Mavic Pro accessories, we have a spare SD card.
Especially with the Mavic Pro, it's important that you have an SD card that's good enough to store high quality footage.
The SD card featured in this article is a 64GB class 10 micro-SD card that is perfect for storing your Mavic's 4k footage.
This is one of the most popular SD cards for Mavic Pilots due to its fast read and write speed and affordable price tag.
This is one of the best DJI Mavic Pro accessories for filmmakers and photographers who will be shooting on a regular basis.

If you are only here for the #WEPFF, please scroll to the dove at the song portion of today's post.
My THEME for the A to Z challenge 2017 is an ongoing speculative fiction story featuring telepathy.
Each letter post is titled and inspired by a commonly misused word or phrase.
The story started with All Intents and Purposes.
Hunger Pangs
Ora huffs as she scoots away from me. "It's rude to scream while someone is talking. Are you a bad person?"
"No, I'm not." Is she a telepath? Is this why we're both here?
"Why did you ask me about my favorite book if you didn't want to know?"
I check my chain and find no weakness. It's secured with a bolt thicker than my finger. Can you hear what other people are thinking?
Ora doesn't answer at first. I hear her move, her chains jingle as she repositions. "I'm not supposed to talk about that."
Can you think about it?
I'm privy to memories playing in her head. Adults tell her how dangerous it is for people to know what she can do. I've heard the same lectures.
Ora, have you called out to those grown-ups?
"No one can hear me anymore. The bad man took my gift." I relive more memories with her. Every strike, the click of lock on her chain, her hair being pulled, the first time she wet herself, and the time passing alone in the dark.
I'm going to be very loud. Maybe louder than anyone you've ever heard in your head. Don't be afraid, okay? She agrees, but I feel her fear intensify. I dial up my internal volume. My every breath vibrates my whole body. It's like standing in front of a massive speaker at a rock concert. I scream for help in my mind. I scream the name of every telepath I know, and a few who I've only heard of in passing. Ora cries and stomps her feet.
Sorry, sorry. My inner volume dialed back down, I slide as near to her as I can. She rolls against me. I stroke her hair as she cries.
They can't hear you, either, can they? He took your power.
I close off my mind while I think. I know I still have my powers because I can hear her. This is all new to me, being blocked from the world. What are my options?
My thoughts are interrupted by growling gurgles. Ora apologizes for the sound of her hunger pangs.
"When did you last have something to eat or drink?"
She cries. The darkness makes time imperceivable.
If I had the courage, I would chew off my leg to break us out of here. Would that work? I don't even know where here is, who the abductor is, or why we've been taken. Is this the work of the Homeland Security Mind Task Force?
"Would you sing to me?"
I brush her hair with my fingers as I sing a Bikinis for Eskimos song.
So little love
they've not taken away.
My need for peace,
it grows more with each day.
Please tell my heart it will be okay.
This fight will end,
and we'll see again,
that every wish wasn't wasted away.
There's so much more
than fighting these wars.
Please understand that we are the same.
Our goals are yours.
Just with different names.
is what we need.
Then more peace and harmony.
You give more love,
and I'll give it too.
This world is made
for me and for you
So little love
they've not taken away.
But with more peace
we'll grow stronger each day.
Then our hearts, they'll be okay.
We'll end their fight.
We'll do what's right.
We are the light.
We are the light.
We are the light!
We are the light!
Word Count (of the song only) : 149 FCA
Yes, that song is by me. That's my fictional band in another story.
A pang is a feeling of emotional or physical pain, and is the correct term to use for describing hunger. It is a pain, but there is technically more going on in the body, and that is why pang is more accurate.
What would you do if you had the courage?

text: Royal Prick: A British Stepbrother Romance by Nikki Wild is a light and airy story, alternately narrated in a direct and fast-moving manner by a Gwendolyn and her stepbrother Tristan. Tristan is the bastard son of a lord, born out of wedlock, and when their father announces Gwendolyn's mother is pregnant with a legitimate heir, the only way bad boy Tristan can rightfully inherit his father's estate is to marry a gentlewoman before the child is born. What woman in her right mind would ever consider marrying him in such a short time? Did I mention Gwendolyn is also a matchmaker? When Tristan appears in her office to seek her help in finding a wife, her repressed teen crush for him flares up and you can see where this is heading….she wants Tristan for herself, and he wants her, but can they be honest with each other? And can they survive the scandal that is sure to follow? This is a quick, fun story with lots of steamy sex and an HEA. My book included two bonus books. There are a few errors – 'two' for 'too' and 'our' for 'your', but generally it is well edited and a pleasant read. 4 stars.

Brian Lynch: Expansive Presentation
Seated in the living room of his New York Chinatown loft, where monologist Spaulding Gray and beat icon William Burroughs were once tenants, trumpeter Brian Lynch dissects the spheres of influence of current activity.
More a colleague than a sideman with Eddie Palmieri and Phil Woods for more than a decade, and an alumnus of Horace Silver and the last edition of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Lynch is a respected insider within the hardcore Latin and bebop communities. He established firm leader credentials on a series of albums between 1986 and 2000 for Criss Cross, Sharp Nine, Cellar Live and Ken Music. These showcased his skills as a compelling storyteller with a fiery style built on encyclopedic knowledge of post-bop trumpet syntax, and as a strong jazz composer with a penchant for constructing tunes defined by insinuating hooks and slick turnarounds, tweaking harmony but never abandoning groove and melodic essence. But the albums did not, as Lynch said, "completely reflect my activity as a musician."
But now, Lynch is finally documenting a more expansive presentation of his sound. "You have to marinate for a long time," Lynch, 48, said. "You play with everybody and do all kinds of things, and the payoff comes in your 40s and 50s when you can come up with something original. Jazz had to develop a bit, and awareness of the hand drum and comprehension of the clavé is now a requirement in learning the language of the music. I don't know if we've developed a real classic form that would take its place as a true statement of the hybrid."
An example of this hybrid appears on trombonist Conrad Herwig's The Latin Side Of Miles Davis (Half Note) and on Que Viva Coltrane (Criss Cross), a Herwig-Lynch collaboration, on which Lynch reharmonizes tunes like "Freddie Freeloader", "Miles Mode", "Wise One" and "Straight Street." He rephrases the melodic line to follow idiomatic guaguanco, songo, bolero and timba pathways over which the co-leaders, saxophonists Mario Rivera and Paquito D'Rivera, and pianist Edsel Gomez solo with grace and elegance.
Joined by tenor saxophonist Ralph Bowen and a first-class rhythm section, Lynch addresses his own compositions in a similar manner on a forthcoming Criss Cross date, Jazz Con Clavé. And in the spring, EWE will release Lynch's six-part composition for nonet entitled the "Spheres Of Influence Suite." On the eve of the recording in late November, Lynch performed it at the Jazz Gallery for two packed houses.
After the long, intense first set, replete with orchestrative detail, striking melodies, virtuosic improvising and mind-blowing rhythmic dialogue, the sidemen had nothing but compliments for the leader. "This music is amazing," said Tim Ries, who tripled on baritone and soprano saxophones and flute, sharing the front line with Lynch, Herwig, Miguel Zenón and Craig Handy.
"It has the freedom and deep harmonic sense of jazz, but with the roots of Afro-Cuban groove," Ries continued. "Playing it is like being an acrobatic high-wire walker. There's a net underneath you, and you have all the freedom in the world to explore. Over the last 15 years, he's evolved into one of the great composers and trumpet players. The music just flows out of his axe."
"This music is hard, with a lot of technical complexity – rhythmic variations and ensemble nuances," said Zenón, who began to work with Lynch soon after moving to New York. "Once you learn how to play it, though, it makes a lot of sense. Any time you hear Brian's music, you can tell it's his. It's fresh."
Not long after his 1981 move to New York, Lynch began to crack the codes of the "Spanish tinge" in the bands of salsero Angel Canales and cantante Hector Lavoe. "I had my style of soloing, which was pretty progressive," Lynch said. "Someone said, 'Bebop is cool, but you've got to play some drums.' Sometimes you're just at the right moment for that to hit you the right way – and that hit me the right way. Later, Eddie Palmieri made me aware of the classic Cuban music of Arsenio Rodriguez and Chappottín, and early son groups like Sexteto Nacional. It reminded me of the time when I was finding all the Blue Notes, and all the pieces in the puzzle began to fall into place. It's important to know your genealogy, so you can take your place within it."
"I still like to use structures that involve playing a lot on chord changes," Lynch continued. "I'm not coming up with any big concept here. Luis Perdomo's and Miguel's music has it – it's the way a lot of people want to play. The drummers I work with are used to using the cycle of the montuno to make their statement, but they have the sensibility to listen to me and play with the melodic line as well as the rhythmic component. They're jazz musicians. They want to learn as much as they can about the different facets of jazz."
"I'm getting into deeper levels of knowing how the rhythm works, and using my imaginative capacities to draw my own conclusions about it. They're learning how to contribute in terms of authentic 'Jazz Norteamericano.' Not to boast, but I'm an exemplar of that. I live in the music of Art Blakey and Horace Silver, and the tradition of the Trumpet players who came out of those bands. Fats Navarro, Woody Shaw and Freddie Hubbard are where I live. That's the house that I was born in."
Still, Lynch calls many places home. His schedule involves juggling gigs with Woods and Palmieri, as well as with nuevo cancionista Juan-Carlos Formell, Buena Vista Social Club alumnus Barbarito Torres and the Latin alternative group Yerba Buena. He arranges for Japanese pop star Mika Nakashima and producer Shinji Ozawa, and teaches master classes at various institutions. Periodically, he presents a realized fusion of his varied influences in Manhattan rooms like the Jazz Gallery, Sweet Rhythm and the Zinc Bar. "It's earn as you learn, and I have first-hand experience of how all these musics work for me," said Lynch, who is preparing to record a Spheres of Influence-Eddie Palmieri collaboration for ArtistShare this spring. "I can say the same things within a traditional Cuban trumpet style as I can playing a modern jazz tune in a modern jazz style. The principles are similar, but the expression is different."
Still, he emphasizes, "the mainstream thing about swinging and saying something on the changes" remains a first principle. "That's my lifetime study, to say something of my own in that idiom, and then carry the banner of my heroes into other contexts," he said. "I like to see how my sensibility can mesh with different things. I love it all – playing on a montuno with a loud band or playing a delicate ballad with Bill Charlap. It's like turning an object around and seeing different facets of it – and the object is the music."
