Based in Bournemouth Aladar De Vekey was a mandolinist and sole teacher agent for Gibson guitars from 1910 to 1932. To what level De Vekey was involved in the design and manufacture of these instruments is unclear but they are well made and unique looking, very much like a small parlour guitar with a 10th fret neck joint.
I have had the pleasure of inspecting, photographing and drawing two different types of these uke's ,they range from type 1 to type 4 depending on materials and ornamentation, and was struck by their sweet sound and well designed ergonomics.
I have made detailed drawings and templates involving interior video film using an endoscopic camera.
I have built two replicas one a spruce and mahogany version of the number 1 and my own interpretation of the instrument. Prices start from £700 please contact me if you wish to talk about De Vekeys drop me a line.I love these instruments and enjoy discussing them with other enthusiasts. Enjoy the photos.

Walter Zenga in talks with the Football Association of Serbia to become new coach
Serbia have been searching for a new coach since November after Sinisa Mihajlovic left his post to take charge of Serie A side Sampdoria, with the national team already out of contention to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.
Ljubinko Drulovic was appointed on a caretaker basis but Serbia appear to be closing in on their man in the form of Italian coach Zenga, who guided Serbian powerhouse Red Star Belgrade to the league-and-cup double during his only season in charge in 2005-06.
Speaking to Romanian broadcaster Dolce Sport, the 54-year-old, who has been out of work since departing UAE outfit Al Jazira in May, confirmed talks have taken place with the 30th ranked nation.
"There are discussions with the Serbian Federation. A major nation, one that I am very attached to it is Serbia," said Zenga.
"To have the opportunity to coach the national team of Serbia would be an incredible advantage."
Zenga also said he had other offers on the table: "We must always weigh things right. I'm in talks with clubs all over the world, from Turkey to UAE."
Serbia, who will play France in an international friendly in September, have been drawn alongside Portugal, Denmark, Albania and Armenia in Group I for UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying.

The first epidemiology report into this H5N1 avian influenza outbreak has been published. No evidence has so far been found to indicate introduction via infected poultry or poultry products or vehicles/people transporting them, from countries which have undisclosed infection in their domestic turkey, geese and duck population. Wild birds cannot be ruled out as a source of infection; there is no evidence of H5N1 infection in the local wild bird population or in GB as a whole, but continued surveillance may help clarify the infection status of the wild bird population. Further surveillance, testing and epidemiological work on this outbreak is ongoing.
Further information: News Release

Defra today announced that it is lifting the ban on bird gatherings, shows and pigeon racing which has been in place since confirmation of avian influenza in Suffolk on 12 November. This decision is based on expert consideration of surveillance and tracing results.
As a precautionary measure, the ban will remain in place within the Restricted, Surveillance and Protection Zones in Suffolk and Norfolk. Birds from those zones will not be able to be taken to gatherings in the rest of the country.

Also today, the decision has been taken to reclassify the cull at one of the four dangerous contacts premises identified yesterday to a slaughter on suspicion of Avian Influenza. Samples have been taken for laboratory testing.
A full epidemiological investigation is underway and all avenues into the origin of this outbreak are being investigated. Surveillance of poultry premises is underway, surveillance of wild birds has been increased in Norfolk and Suffolk and the national targeted wild bird surveillance programme is ongoing.

14 November 2007
Following initial epidemiological work and veterinary assessment, four further premises have been identified as Dangerous Contacts. All poultry on these premises will be culled as a precautionary measure. These premises are within the existing Restricted Zone. This action is in line with DEFRA's contingency plans and takes into account the level of assessed risk at this early stage in the outbreak.
In addition, some general licences to address immediate welfare issues in the area covered by the zones are being issued today.
For further information please click here.

However, an anonymous commenter pointed out that the man in the portrait could be the son of a deceased brother of the speaker, making him the speaker's nephew. This depends on interpreting "Brothers and sisters I have none" as leaving open the possibility that the speaker once did have a brother.

9 years ago I met this amazing woman of God in Lagos Nigeria and my life has not remained the same. Guys, its interesting to know that the song the Lord used to bring us together is just about to be released. 2007 – 2016 Its taken 9 good years…. Phew! Can I tell the story?
In Dec 2006, I received a telephone call for a production job. It was Purist on the line. She had gotten my contact from a friend who recommended me for the job. Purist had tried other producers working hard on this single but it wasn't quite what she wanted yet. A meeting was arranged so in January 2007, we had our first meeting ever at a restaurant at Anthony village Lagos Nigeria. Few minutes into this meeting, I heard clearly in my spirit…… Don't worry.. I won't tell you what it was exactly.lol. Interestingly, Purist got the same word in her spirit just as we discussed in that same meeting. I noticed she kind of chocked on her drink but couldn't tell why. We finished the meeting and an agreement was reached but none of us said a word about what we had heard.
I ran home and shared with my friends what had happened to me. I shared a room with 3 of my very good Christian brothers at the time, Bernard, Amos and Francis but on that day I only mentioned this to Bernard. He advised that I just focused on the job and see what the Lord would do. I did just that… When the day for her recording session came, it was so easy… I could hear all the right sounds…. The heavens were open. Purist was in shock as it was the sound she heard in her spirit. I mean as far as sound effects I used for the intro …. Creating a story…Soft wind, rainfall and thunder… Infact, fast forward, 9 years later, few months ago I really struggled to remake this song. I wished I had the data or audio stems from 2007. I was stunned by what the Lord had produced with my hands 9 years ago… The chords, the arrangement, the sound quality… I could not believe it.
The song is titled "My side of story" and it's the first song Purist ever wrote. It talks about her struggles and challenges growing up as a preachers kid. Wish I could attach the demo from 9 years ago to this message but yeah…. You get to hear the song on the Encounter album. God is awesome!
Yeah… I know you're probably waiting to hear the rest of the story. After the single was done, Purist and I became friends. The rest is history… Today we are happily married still loving and serving Jesus.
Guys, by His grace, I've been making music for years but this project is just unexplainable. My sincere prayer is that the Lord will use it for His glory. Sincerely, this is God at work. The Encounter Album will be launched this Sunday 28TH of August 2016 at the Thameside Theatre, Orsett road, Grays Essex RM17 5DX. If you are outside of London and really cannot make it, don't worry, the album will be available for purchase online. Please visit www.puristogboi.com for more details.

Applause Worthy!
Broadway performer enjoys judging Fiesta-val
Marc Dalio's route to Broadway took an interesting set of turns, some luck, and the support of his parents and mentors.
With a long list of professional theatrical credits, including starring roles in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables, Pippin, West Side Story, South Pacific and others, Dalio - a choral judge for Fiesta-val - wasn't very interested in singing or theater growing up.

Our family business always has Fiesta-val included in the yearly offerings to our music clientele looking for a fantastic competition experience.

In most traditional martial arts the spinal alignment is maintained in a straight upright position. But despite telling students over and over again, many of them still tend to lean forward. In the video below, I hope to provide a demonstration of why keeping the back straight and upright helps techniques to flow more easily, fluidly and efficiently!
If you're an instructor, it could be a good way to teach your own students.
Ironically, it involves using a small drum on a stick, the same as in the second of the original Karate Kid films. These little toys provide a great metaphor for teaching technique!

Are you looking for a simple and fun activity to get your kids out into the local forest or even the back yard this summer? Thinking about the living organisms that rely on a simple log can be a great way to learn about decomposition and the soil cycle as well as an excuse to get your hands dirty and get out and explore your forest. We tried this activity with our family nature club and it was a blast! This is a GREAT exploration for kids of any age!
Rotten Log Puppet Show:
Rather than just going out to roll logs and see what is underneath we started our activity with a puppet show. A butterfly was a real estate agent and many animals (ants, worms, etc) came looking for a new home (an old wrapping paper roll made the perfect "log"). The log was the ideal place to provide food and shelter for a wide variety of animals. We talked about how the log is a home and the importance of putting logs back after we turn them over.
Children's Literature Connection:
Next we read A Logs Life by Wendy Pfeffer. This book shows the process of a tree to soil with wonderful illustrations. Through this book we introduced the word decomposition.
Outdoor Activity:
Before heading outside each child got a sheet of paper with pictures of the animals they might find under a log. We talked about what each animal would eat and determined which were decomposers. As we entered the woods we listened for other animal sounds. When we got to the log, children were asked to feel if it was hard or soft, wet or dry, and use other senses before looking under the log. This helps focus children so the log turning isn't as much chaos. We turned over one big log together and looked; then children were free to explore on their own.
Art and Nature Connection:
At the end, children could draw their favorite living organisms they observed in their nature journals.
Have fun rolling logs with your friends and family and discovering decomposers everywhere!!!!

Here's what happened in my life over the past week:
- My sleep has been messed up, and I've felt really unfocused and vaguely physically unwell. The heat has probably been messing with my lithium levels, and I don't think it's helped that there's been horrendous air quality from forest fire smoke.
- I went to yoga once, and also had a massage. I'm still not thrilled with my new massage therapist, and I have a feeling things aren't really going to improve much. I feel kind of guilty thinking about bailing on her, but my vacation in October could be a good excuse to disappear a bit more subtly.
- I had found out a few weeks ago that one of my jobs was going to be ceasing to exist in the fall, as the program was shutting down. After an initial freak-out, I went into hardcore avoidance mode. Anyway, this week I found out that I will be getting work with the company that's pretty much taking over the work that my current employer has been doing. It wasn't a competitive application process; it seems like they're taking any nurses that want to switch over. Strangely enough, I don't feel particularly happy or relieved, maybe because I've switching from not thinking about it due to avoidance, to now not having to think about it because it's just not an issue any more.
- I did a night shift Wednesday at my other job to cover for someone who'd called in sick. I didn't get called until around 7pm, and I was so tired already at that point that should have just said no, but I agreed to take the shift. I can't nap without meds, but 7pm was just too late to take any meds before an 11pm shift. So I was a total mess. I ended up sleeping almost all day and night Thursday. I realized when I woke up still feeling gross on Friday morning that I had managed to miss 3 days in a row of morning meds, and I was probably going into venlafaxine withdrawal.
- Near where I live there are some flowers that attract a ton of fat, fuzzy bumblebees. It's mesmerizing – it makes the perfect mindfulness moment.
- My guinea pig boy has been hiding out in his house more lately. He's getting very old for a guinea pig, and I wonder if he's not feeling very well. My girls, on the other hand, have been extra adorable this week with their begging for food behaviour. They're not hungry by any stretch, they're just sticking their furry little faces out the cage door hoping that by looking cute I'll decide to give them extra treats.
How has your week been?

2014 Fierce 40 Previews: #37 Florida
#37 Florida Gators
2013 Recap:
Usually when you say Florida and 4 wins you are talking about their win total a month into the college football season, but that wasn't the case in 2013. Florida ended the season losing 7 in a row en route to a 4-8 season, topped off by a 26-20 loss to Georgia Southern in a game where Georgia Southern didn't complete a pass.
Will Muschamp had a fantastic second year at Florida and seemed to solidify his position as head coach before the wheels fell off in the second half of 2013. There were a number of changes on the staff and a lot of fingers pointed in different directions. This is an important year for Muschamp and the program in general, especially recruiting in a hotbed full of talent like Florida.
Quarterbacks/Running Backs:
Jeff Driskel is back at quarterback and many can argue the collapse the Gators suffered last season had as much to do with Driskel and his injury than anything. Florida is going to run a wide-open offensive system as they take a page from the Duke Blue Devils with offensive coordinator Kurt Roper arriving from the ACC school. The question will be whether Driskel has enough mobility with his leg to be as mobile as the offensive system needs him to be. Skyler Mornhinweg is the backup as he started a handful of games last season.
As much as Florida wants to open things up throwing the ball, the Gators need to sticks to the basics of ball control and running the football. Florida has talent in the backfield and the offensive line is a bit healthier so run blocking should not be a concern as it was last season. Kelvin Taylor and Mack Brown will split duties in the backfield. The duo combined for 8 touchdowns on the ground with 1,100 yards and again most of this was done with very little help from the passing game, so both backs were facing a ton of eight and nine man fronts. The Gator staff has said they would like to utilize the backs catching the ball more this season, so it will be a priority for Florida.
Best Draft Prospect: Jeff Driskel UFA 2016.
Wide Receivers/Tight Ends:
Many seem to be down on Florida and the receiving corps but the problem actually is getting the Gator receivers the football. Quinton Dunbar had 40 catches and 548 yards but didn't find the end zone last season. He has reliable hands and has shown the ability to get open, so this is a case where the player is much better than the numbers indicate. Sophomores Ahmad Fulwood and Demarcus Robinson will be vital to the passing game, yet both are very raw but have an abundance of speed. Florida has playmakers who are capable of getting yards after the catch and getting downfield. Execution has to be better with the passing game and the timing needs to improve. The Gators will be using a more spread system but timing is still the key factor and a healthier and improved offensive line should help this aspect as well.
Florida will be using less of the tight end in the new system and this is a departure from the great Florida tight ends of the past. This is a case of the coaches changing the system and catering to the personnel on the team.
Best Draft Prospect: Demarcus Robinson WR 5th Round 2017.
Offensive Line:
The offensive line was banged up all last season as the Gators only enjoyed a handful of games where the five starters from opening day played together. Chaz Green and Max Garcia have the most experience and again both battled injuries for most of 2013. Garcia makes most of the calls for the line and is the vocal leader while left tackle D.J. Humphries seems to be the most pro ready and best prospect we can see. The best part about the line is Garcia gets to move back to center since he saw time at left tackle in addition to left and right guard due to injuries that caused constant shifting. Florida cannot go through another season with constant injuries because then the depth is not there. This is one of the weakest lines we have seen in years at Florida and if the injuries continue it could be like a quilt with patchwork everywhere.
Best Draft Prospect: D.J. Humphries OT 3rd Round 2016.
Defensive Line:
The Florida Gators could be getting back to the Gator teams of old with an imposing defensive line predicated on speed, yet this group has a little more size then we usually see from the Gators. Junior Dante Fowler Jr. had 10.5 tackles for a loss with 3.5 sacks and 3 forced fumbles, and he only started a few games last season. It may not show up in the stats but Leon Orr looks to be the anchor of the line. He is a senior and the Gators will count on his leadership, but he has the style of play that sees him do the dirty work for others and he doesn't seem to mind. Orr should hear his name on draft day this season in the mid to late rounds. Jonathan Bullard is a starter at defensive end and he seemed to be one of the better run defenders the Gators had in 2013. Gerald Willis was a big recruit from New Orleans and he could contribute right out of the gate for Florida. If the offense struggles again it will be the defense carrying the team and controlling the football.
Best Draft Prospect: Dante Fowler Jr. DE 2nd Round 2016.
The linebackers did not play up to expectations a season ago but in talking with the Gators coaching staff, this is the area of the football field they have seen the most improvement. Antonio Morrison seems to have fully recovered from the knee injury that ended his season a little early and Neiron Ball will see a dramatic rise in the pedestrian 25 tackle total he posted a season ago. Jarrad Davis was the benefactor of some injuries last season and he started to show signs of big improvement. Fifth year senior Mike Taylor is back and he actually led the team a season ago with 65 tackles.
Best Draft Prospect: Antonio Morrison LB 5th Round 2016.
The Gators will have freshman corner Jalen Tabor start and hope they strike gold a second consecutive year. Sophomore Vernon Hargeaves III has established himself as perhaps the premier young cornerback in college football. How good was Hargreaves? He was the standout in a secondary that saw two players get drafted and a third most assuredly making the roster as an undrafted free agent. Hargreaves had 38 tackles, 3 interceptions and led the Gators with 11 pass breakups. You will see later Hargreaves is going to make an impact as a return man, as many of the Florida cornerbacks have done in the past. Marcus Maye and Jabari Gorman are both new starters at the safety position but they have a significant amount of experience and are not too green to make an impact. With increased pressure on the quarterback I would expect to see a correlation for the Gators secondary to make more big plays.
Best Draft Prospect: Vernon Hargreaves III CB 1st Round 2017.
Special Teams:
Johnny Townsend won the punter job last year after Kyle Christy faltered out of the gate following a fantastic 2012. Christy still has yet to reclaim the starting job and this area of the football team probably cost Florida a game or two during 2013. At kick returner, the player that was supposed to lead the Gators also is the backup. Andre Debose was thrown through a window during an altercation and faced discipline from the team and also suffered a knee injury that shelved him for the season. Vernon Hargreaves is the punt returner and may even handle kickoffs if Debose gets into trouble again. Florida has yet to really settle on a full time kicker as last season was an adventure, but Austin Harden seems to have the job at the moment. Even a slight improvement in special teams should yield the team immediate results.
Best Draft Prospect: N/A.
The end of September through October looks to be the toughest stretch with Alabama on the road followed by LSU and Missouri at home before hitting the road again on November 1st against Georgia. Florida State always closes out the Gators schedule so this schedule is no stroll in the park.
Draft Outlook:
Vernon Hargreaves III is the jewel for the Gator as he looks like the only true 1st round prospect on the roster, but Dante Fowler Jr. has the power and talent to change that. The defensive and offensive lines are loaded with mid tier prospects so Florida will not see a shortage of draft talent any time soon. Defensive tackle Leon Orr remains a wildcard for this season as he will not get the eye-popping stats, but he is a solid player that can be counted on to excel at his assignments snap after snap.

Rastita Design Challenge Part 3: Call for test knitters
Cory's call for test knitters here.
I mentioned in my previous Design Challenge post that test knitters are a really important part of getting a clear and correct pattern. Well, it's about that time!
I'm looking for a few test knitters for my as-yet-unnamed cowl. In fact, if you have any ideas for a name I'd love suggestions for that too.
Skills needed:
It's a relatively simple project, but you will need to know how to knit, purl, increase & decrease, and pick up stitches, as well as working with two colors of yarn.
Supplies needed:
size US 7 needles, or size needed to obtain gauge
buttons (3-5 depending on button size)
two colors of DK weight yarn (I used Malabrigo Rastita)
As far as yarn amount goes, if you don't mind a short cowl then 50g of each would probably be sufficient. I had 100g of each and was able to make a fairly long cowl with a bit of yarn left over.
I'll send the pattern to all test knitters by Friday 11/15, the test knit needs to be finished by Sunday 12/15.
In return, you'll get a copy of the final eBook with both my pattern and Cory's Folded Lotus pattern.
I don't have any awesome modeled pictures of my cowl yet, but you can get a pretty good idea from the sneak peeks in the previous posts. I'll try to update this post with a better picture soon.
If you're interested in test knitting my cowl pattern, please email me at starielknits at gmail dot com.

Evan Tapper spends 90 minutes every week hanging out with a group of children and teens in Toronto. It's vital time spent at a place the kids would probably rather not be.
"We do flip books, we do drawings, we've done casting with plaster and mono-printing on glass plates. We did a different type of sculpture with tape and wire," recalls the Winnipeg born-and-raised multimedia artist.
"I don't give much direction and they usually just talk and work."
This is no ordinary after-school program. Tapper volunteers at the Redwood Women's Shelter in downtown Toronto -- something he's done since 2005. In the summer of 2008, he also ran a children's book club there.
The art club began in 2008.
"Often these kids don't have things of their own because they're in a sense, homeless. A drawing or painting, sculpture becomes more important than any stuff other kids would have," notes Tapper, 37.
While there is a youth counsellor at the organization to bring the kids to events, Tapper says he feels his program enhances their stay there.
"They're dealing with so much -- they are transferring to a new school and they don't know anyone and they're living in this secret place ... Schedule becomes an important thing."
Tapper also sees the significance of having a male figure at the shelter -- one that is non-threatening. It has its moments. He acknowledges some of the problems of dealing with children that have had to survive violent environments.
"One girl yelled at me. I just gave her time," recollects Tapper, who's been an artist for 14 years. "Another girl wasn't looking at me or participating so I said to her: 'When you're ready, you can join us at any time.'"
His work at the shelter is a natural branch of his own interests. Tapper -- who holds a BFA from the University of Manitoba and then left Winnipeg in 1998 to pursue an MFA at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh -- is an unabashed feminist.
Feminism is empowering for men
"To me it's the most obvious thing. I think men are responsible for 99 per cent of the violence against women. Women have enough stuff to deal with. Once you realize that, you have to do something," explains Tapper.
"I find that empowering as a man. It means a man doesn't have to be in a role. Men and women are equal [and] can do anything they want ... Women are free not to be mothers and people can be with others who are not the opposite gender." Tapper says his art changed while at Carnegie Mellon after a female professor told him: "I'm tired of assholes pretending to be feminists." While he was upset and disappointed by her statement, it prompted him to examine his own voice and take into account white male privilege.
"Some people look at my work as if it had authority...I question the power of that authority."
That line of questioning sparked the interactive work Fleeting Intimacy -- done in 2000 at the Carnegie Free Library. Tapper, an energetic soul who uses both his face and body to express himself when talking, would ask people at the library if he could sketch them while they talked about themselves. The interaction was also videotaped.
"For the first time, I couldn't speak -- I put the microphone off me and had to listen to other peoples' stories. Everything changed and it was their voices. All I did was draw caricatures for five hours a day in the library. I realized people are there because they are homeless or lonely."
The search for disparate perspectives continued when Tapper won a one-year residency at the Center For Contemporary Art in Kitakyushu, Japan, where he lived from 2003 into 2004.
While staying at a steelworker's dormitory, he uncovered a lot of manga and comic books with plenty of sexual violence.
"They were really strange with white-looking character doing these masochistic sexual violence. I pulled a stack of manga from the trash -- with rubber gloves -- and I scanned this sequence, which had a white man raping this woman with this sword and he ties her up and rapes hers."
In re-imagining the story, Tapper blurred the female figure and made the male character more prominent. In the video piece, called Graphic Material, Tapper overlays a monologue with himself as the artist trying to change the narrative of the rape story along with the male character.
"I say that I found him in the pages of this comic book and, he's saying, 'Please help me get out of this...I want out of this, I want another world in which this is not okay.' The character explains 'I'm drawn this way but I don't want to be here.'"
Tapper says he could never imagine being the one who inflicts violence.
"That's just horrifying, mysterious and complex to me," he admits. "And I know, for a fact, people just like me are capable of doing this."
Completing the story of Vashti
Tapper -- who has taught at the State University of New York College at Fredonia, McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. and at the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) in Toronto -- says he likes deconstructing stories that have been imprinted onto people.
That's where In Search of Vashti comes in -- a site-specific audio project which played at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto during the summer of 2006.
During the 45-minute piece, listeners hear different women tell their own version of an historical story. It provides an alternative ending to the story of Vashti, the Queen of Persia. Tapper chose the ROM because it is one of the few museums that have a Persian Collection.
In the Book of Esther, Queen Vashti was married to the King of Persia. He had a big party lasting 10 days and called for his Queen to wear her crown and entertain her guests. He sends for her but the messenger returns and says she doesn't want to come. This distresses the King and his ministers as her refusal could set a precedent for the women in the empire. So it was decided from then on that Vashti would no more come before the King. In the search for a new queen, Esther is found and that begins a new chapter in the book.
"The rabbi's always write these weird things like God gave her a skin disease. Well, she didn't want to parade herself in front of a bunch of drunken men," Tapper snickers, as if saying: isn't that obvious?
"Her absence is really the power. You never hear her voice."
Tapper said he felt an impulse to refute what was being taught to him and to women.
"Anyone I went to Jewish school in the 1980s would say: 'Wasn't she evil?'"
Tapper decided he would re-tell the story to different women of diverse backgrounds and ages and then turn the mic on them and ask them to finish the story of Vashti.
"A woman from the Caribbean said Vashti stayed and was an advisor to Esther. Someone said she probably became a man. A woman from Cameroon said the messenger fell in love with her and told Vashti: 'No I will never hide you.'"
Currently, Tapper is creating a 10-minute animation (It's Not Me, It's You) around a couple, Eddie and Moe, exploring "layers of xenophobia and homophobia." While that may sound heavy, Tapper -- always clever and eschewing the obvious -- is manufacturing a cutesy kind of world.
"Eddy's a satyr so he's hyper-masculine but he's got braces, glasses and he's goofy."
Eddy likes to make crafts and is an online sex worker. He lands on a game show for couples with his mermaid girlfriend, Moe.
Eddy actually made an appearance in the fall of 2008 at the Electronic Access Arts Centre in west-end Toronto, where Tapper set up a craft table while a video loop of Eddy played.
The project circles back to Tapper's fierce principles: "I don't understand why men don't embrace feminism as a value for social change and freedom. I think it's fear ... they think it's against them but it's really for them."

Yesterday, OnePlus released the first beta build of OxygenOS based on Android 8.0 Oreo for the OnePlus 5. With the final Oreo update for the device scheduled to be available in Q1 2018, OnePlus 5 owners still have to go through a long wait to be able to get their hands on the device.
However, if you cannot wait to taste Oreo on your 5, you can always install the beta build of Ore-based OxygenOS on your device. While the first beta might be buggy, most users have not reported any deal-breaking bug so far. Since installing the beta build does not require you to format the device, you will not have to go through the trouble of setting up your device again as well.
Do remember that once you have installed the beta build of OxygenOS on your device, you will automatically get OTA updates to future beta builds but not for the stable builds. So, if you like to live life on the edge and don't mind coming across a few bugs every once in a while, read below on how you can install the first beta of Android 8.0 Oreo on your OnePlus 5 below.
Step 1: Download the latest beta build of OxygenOS based on Nougat for the OnePlus 5 from here. Transfer it to your desktop and rename it to "oxygenos.zip".
If adb/fastboot are not already set up on your PC, follow the instruction here (Mac users, follow this guide). If you are on Windows, make sure to install the necessary drivers for the handset as well.
Step 2: Bead over to Settings -> About Phone on your OnePlus 5 and tap on Build Number 7 times to enable the hidden Developer Options. Once the toast notification pops up, head over to Settings -> Developer Options and enable the 'Advanced Reboot' option.
Step 3: Long press the Power button to bring up the power menu. Tap on Reboot followed by Recovery.
When your OnePlus 5 boots into recovery, select English as your language followed by Install from ADB. Tap on OK when prompted.
Step 4: On your PC, fire up a new command prompt or Terminal window, and then type in the following command:
adb sideload oxygenos.zip
In case you get a file not found error, simply type in "adb sideload" and then drag 'n' drop the Oxygen OS zip file inside the command prompt or terminal. You can also simply copy-paste the location of the file inside the window. Press enter and wait for the file to be sideloaded. Once the transfer is complete, the update will automatically be installed on your OnePlus 5. At the end, you will be prompted to restart your handset. If not, the device should automatically reboot itself, though do remember that the first boot can take a long time.
If you encounter any bugs in the beta build of OxygenOS on your OnePlus 5, which you will, do share them with the OnePlus team so that they can be fixed in the next update. OnePlus will likely roll out a couple of more Oreo-based OxygenOS beta builds for the OnePlus 5 before dropping the final version in Q1 2018.

A vitamin supplement you can buy in pharmacies and health stores could be one of medicine's 'holy grails' - it may slow the progress of Parkinson's, the neurodegenerative disease.
Researchers are going to test if the supplement, coenzyme Q10, will be the very first therapy to actually fight the disease, instead of just masking the symptoms, which every drug at the moment does.
The Rush University Medical Center is keen to test the supplement after earlier studies found that Parkinson's sufferers have low levels of the coenzyme, which is usually produced by the body naturally. Other research has shown that the coenzyme also protects the area of the brain that is normally damaged by Parkinson's.
The researchers have already discovered that 1200 mg doses of the coenzyme, given to Parkinson's sufferers, showed 'promising results' after 16 months.
In the new trial, the researchers will be testing the 1200 mg and a 2400 mg dose, again over a 16-month period.

Works of master craftsmen Escherick sell well at Rago Arts
Works of master craftsmen Escherick sell well at Rago Arts
As one of the most influential American furniture makers, there was much interest
A superb collection of rare and conceptual pieces of furniture have been sold by Rago Arts and Auction Center in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Wharton Escherick's stylish, angular 'Wagon-Wheel' table, made in 1932, was expected to sell for just $80,000-110,000.
Unsurprisingly for a piece constructed by the man once called the 'dean of American craftsmen' it beat this estimate, actually reaching a price of $198,400.
Wharton Escherick's master craftsmanship can be seen in this table
It was a piece he made at a time when he was exploring themes of organicism and cubism, and so he sought to combine the contrasting styles together, as can be seen in the way the table top is sharp and angular, but the legs are curved and more natural.
His style changed over the years though, as his work took on a more natural curved, free-form flair. This can be seen in the second highest selling piece of the auction, which is a Escherick sideboard made in 1969.
The work, which is visibly smoother and almost looks as if it is flowing, was sold for $173,600, again above its estimated worth of between $100,000-150,000.
Produced later in his life, Escherick's 'organic' sideboard made $173,600
Other famous furniture makers whose work featured in the sale included Judy Kensley McKie's Hippo Bench, which sold for $62,000 - more than double its high end estimate - Philip and Kelvin LaVerne's incredible looking console table, which reached a value of $57,040, and Harry Bertoia's remarkable 1970s bronze sculpture.
Clearly, the high prices achieved by these pieces, with many of them selling well above estimates, proves that there is a lot of interest in furniture sales currently.
Other sales which have been reported recently by Paul Fraser Collectibles have also seen successful, meaning that for those with an interest in fine furniture, now is the time to get involved and make an investment.

text: Weird dream last night... I was with some friends (Mike, Cindy, and probably some others) on board the USS Peleliu. I think it was at sea at the time, but we were visiting it as part of some kind of tour. I commented that this was the ship I'd been on for two weeks (and indeed, it was) and every time they would show us some part of it, I'd say "Yeah, I was here." In my dream, I had bare feet. I knew this was a no-no, and someone even commented on it once. I kept trying to hide it, even though I knew it was pointless. I wanted to take over the tour and show Mike and Cindy the other parts of the ship that I'd been to, but wasn't sure if that would be OK. At one point, I saw Gy. Hayes, the guy who was in charge of the group I was working with when I was on board IRL. Waved hi to him, but was worried he'd want to take me aside to help them fix some IT problem. Weird, kinda disjointed dream. I need to learn how to tell stories better.

READING'S new parking regime has been effectively scrapped for the rest of the month following its shambolic start.
Parking chiefs have ordered wardens to stop ticketing cars with the old-style yellow, square permits after thousands of motorists did not get their new badges in time for the system's start on Monday last week.
Initially ticketing was suspended until Friday last week but with hundreds of people still waiting for the new permits, Reading Borough Council announced it had stopped ticketing until March 31.
And anyone who has been issued with a ticket while displaying an old permit will have it automatically cancelled.
On top of this any cars that are parked on single yellow lines will not be ticketed as long as they are displaying an old or new residents' parking permit until March 17.
Evening Post surveys of streets in the residents' parking zones on Friday and over the weekend
indicated hundreds of permits had still not arrived.
Reading Borough Council, which had originally claimed the majority of people had their permits for the start of the scheme, said it expected all but 60 of the 4,575 motorists to have their badges by today.
Councillor John Howarth, the head of transport, said: "When it became clear to me on Monday last week that permits were arriving late I issued an immediate apology on behalf of the council for any confusion caused by the introduction of new restrictions.
"Because of the delays, the old residents' permits will remain valid until March 31 and parking attendants will not issue any tickets to cars parked in residential bays displaying an old permit until after that date.
"They will put a leaflet on car windscreens to remind those people who haven't applied for a permit to do this as soon as possible.
"The transition to the new scheme is proving difficult and I am determined that sensitive
enforcement should be carried out until the scheme is fully in place.
"Along with the leader of the council I have written directly to the [wardens'] contractors reiterating this."
Council leader David Sutton added: "Enforcement will continue on cars parked illegally on double yellow lines and in residential parking areas without any permit."
A council spokeswoman said around 60 permits that had been posted had still yet to arrive but was
confident the rest would get their permits today.
She added: "If people let us know that they haven't received them we will send them a free replacement."
The new permit scheme, a limit of two cars per household and a £50 charge for the second pass, replaced a free and unlimited system.
