Get to Know... Oktak
I am... a designer, crafter, businesswoman, wife & mom, displaced Tokyoite and an avid cat-lover.
I was... a typical "indoor" girl who loved all forms of art - painting, drawing, sewing, dancing, playing music. I remember being four years old and loving rainy days. I was mesmerized by the shapes of rain, and loved crafting as I listened to music.
I will be... focusing more and more on giving back as I grow older. What little I've achieved in life would amount to nothing if I did not give back to anyone.
One of my favorite quotes (this is from the film, "Monsieur Ibrahim"): "What you give is yours forever, what you keep is lost forever".
I am motivated by... beautiful colors and fun designs, and the happiness they bring!
Many people don't know that... I've played the piano since I was four and am pretty good at it!
Most days, you can find me... at home, working on a new project with a cup of tea.
I'd like to learn... Japanese calligraphy, to dress myself properly in a kimono, and take up French again.
I have never... traveled to South America or Australia - those are the only 2 continents I've never set foot on. I'd love to visit some day!
If I won the lottery, I would... buy an apartment here in New York! (We've been looking for several years!) It doesn't have to be lavish, and I'd give the rest away to my favorite charities.
I'd like to thank the Academy for... recognizing my work! It truly feels wonderful to know that other people enjoy what I make as much I enjoy making them. It makes everything worthwhile. Thank you June!!

Prospective Students
Honors Orientation
Orientation Overview:
All First Year Students admitted to USF are required to attend a mandatory two-day University Orientation prior to their first semester of attendance. This Orientation program is vital because it informs students of the benefits, requirements and possibilities of University life. During this session, students learn about financial aid, academic requirements for their major, the wealth of student organizations available, and much more. Students who have been admitted to the Honors College will also have an Honors-specific Orientation during the University session. Admitted students must attend all Honors College presentations during their Orientation to ensure they are fully admitted to the College and receive the appropriate benefits.
Orientation Registration:
To sign up for one of the mandatory USF Orientation sessions, please visit the orientation webpage.
As an Honors College student you will be directed to those sessions that have open seats specifically for Honors students. Choose the sessions that best meet your needs, complete all online forms, and submit the required Orientation fee.
You will receive a confirmation in the mail from the Office of Orientation.
Orientation Details:
- Please arrive on time for your scheduled two-day session.
- Make sure to bring copies of any dual enrollment transcripts or accelerated exam scores (AP, IB, etc.).
- Before your orientation, continue to research majors, minors, and courses of interest on the USF website. Become fans of the Honors College and Honors College Student Council to learn about upcoming events and to connect with other Honors students. You may also wish to volunteer or shadow a professional in your community, and enjoy your summer!
- You will see the Honors College staff and student mentors twice during the two-day session. These times are:
- Mandatory College Information Session* (Lunch meeting on the second day). See your Orientation booklet for time and location details.
- Mandatory Advising/Registration Session* (Afternoon of the second day). Specific time and location details will be given to you on the first day of orientation.
*Note: These sessions are mandatory for admitted Honors College students. You will not be able to finalize your Honors College admission without attending both sessions.

For years, Republican lawmakers and their conservative voter base have been denying scientific facts such as climate change and evolution. And Neil deGrasse Tyson is sick and tired of Republicans doing this to the detriment of our country.
Unfortunately for our nation and the world we live in, these science illiterate people are now in power and are using their power to turn their denial of science into national policy.
To that end, Donald Trump's budget strips funding from federal programs designed to curb climate change. Even the National Institutes of Heath and NASA face unprecedented cuts because Republicans don't like science.
And that is infuriating to Tyson, who appeared on CNN with Fareed Zakaria over the weekend to lambaste the GOP for being science deniers.
"If anyone utters the words, 'It's just a theory,' it means they're missing a piece of their education where they do not fully understand what science is and how and why it works," Tyson said. "I try not to beat folks over the head in power because they are duly elected by a population that wants their leadership to serve them."
In spite of that, Tyson then took aim at the people who put these Republican politicians into office.
"So as an educator, I look at the electorate and I say, if you're going to make an informed decision, not only about the country's future but especially about your own future, it would be greatly enhanced by just learning how knowledge is acquired and how it is affirmed in the scientific arena."
Tyson pointed out that Republican voters are only listening to what other people tell them without doing their own research and seeking out information from experts and viable sources.
And he's right. Many conservative voters tend to ignore what real scientists say, and instead hang on every word that a right-wing college dropout like Sean Hannity tells them. When people would rather get their information from Hannity or Rush Limbaugh instead of real scientists, it hurts the nation. And what's worse is that children get false information from their parents, and they take it with them to school and spread the misinformation to their friends.
This epidemic has hurt education as a whole in the United States as we lag further and further behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to science and math.
Sadly, it will only continue to get worse with Donald Trump in office as education funding gets cut and conservatives push for replacing science with Bible study.
And that's why, despite what conservative voters believe, Tyson thinks lawmakers have a responsibility to get educated and know the facts.
"In a free country, think what you want. But if you now rise to power and have jurisdiction over legislation and you pivot that on what you don't know about how the world works, that's a recipe for disaster. It's the beginning of the unraveling of an informed democracy."
Here's the video via YouTube.
Science-denying Republicans use their misinformation campaign to justify their war on women, making wholly false claims like legitimate rape can't result in pregnancy, that contraceptives cause abortion and that fetuses feel pain after 20 weeks. And there's the claim that abortion causes breast cancer, something that is absolutely false.
The bottom line is that Republican denial of science is harming this country, and the damage is getting harder to repair and reverse. At some point, our coastlines will be under water and women will die because Republicans won't listen to facts that get in the way of their agenda.
America needs leaders who understand science and listen to it. Because right now, Republicans are ignoring science and that is putting our nation and planet in peril.
Perhaps scientists like Bill Nye and Tyson should consider running for public office. It would be fantastic to watch them give Republicans a science lesson on the House or Senate floor.

Do you war with an itchy and dry scalp? even as it is normal for the skin found on your scalp to die and fall off, some people experiences immoderate dryness and irritation. This embarrassing itching and powdery flakes experiences is a condition that is completely and highly irritating.
At the same time as there are numerous over-the-counter and prescription medicinal drugs, normally in shampoo form for excessive dandruff, a number of those may additionally contains sulfites, which certain humans may be allergic to. Human beings with bronchial asthma, low blood sugar, liver disease or porphyria might also go through an intense suffering and need to speak to their health practitioner or physician before the usage of a medicated shampoo.
Instead of the usage of medicated shampoo, why not try a less expensive and less harsh remedy on your itchy scalp? Let us look at 7 less harsh treatment for itchy scalp.
1. Wash your hair each day
Washing your hair on a daily basis can help remove the unfastened dandruff and rinse it down the drain. This can save you scales from building up in your head. It is also highly important to shower after exercise or any tedious activities that leads to much sweat. Sweat will cause the dandruff to loosen, so a snappy shower will help wash it away.
2. Use baking soda
Try using baking soda instead of your normal shampoo. Wet your hair and rub a tablespoon of baking soda into your wet hair and scalp, and let it take a seat for about one minute. Wash and rinse out with warm water. Be patient with baking soda, you will notice that your scalp is much less dry after approximately two weeks, because it will start making its own oils so as to moisturize your head.
3. Rotate your shampoo
Rotate between the use of 3 distinctive sorts of shampoo. Your scalp can come to be resistant against one kind and the dandruff may additionally return. Rotate shampoos to take away this trouble.
4. Rinse with lemon juice
Rinse your hair with lemon juice after shampooing. Lemon conditions and softens the hair, which will lead to keeping dandruff at bay.
5. Stop scratching your scalp
As a whole lot as it is prone to itch, try and keep away from scratching your itchy scalp. This can only lead greater irritation or even greater scratching.
6. Use coconut oil
Rub some warm coconut oil into your fingers and then rub it on your scalp. Coconut oil will moisturize your scalp and even though may additionally appear greasy, will assist to reduce dandruff relatively. Just use a little bit of the oil, it will go a very long way. You may also put coconut oil on your scalp and cover your head with a towel wrap throughout the night. Make it certain to rinse the coconut oil out thoroughly in the morning.
7. Use tea tree oil
Tea tree oil smells cute and is a herbal antiseptic. Rub a little bit of tea tree oil in your scalp and permit it sit for approximately 5 minutes. Rinse the oil out with warm water and repeat daily till your scalp seems much less dry. After this, do a tea tree treatment once every week.
After all said and done, adopting one of these less harsh treatments will make you have an itch-free and less dry scalp. If there are any additional less harsh remedies, including them by commenting below will be highly appreciated.

This was my first attempt at gnocchi, and I have to say that I was pretty impressed. In general I'm not a huge fan of gnocchi. I don't like it, and the last time I had it, I ended up having and allergic reaction to it. But things went much much better this time.
The ingredients needed for gnocchi are very simple. You need mashed potatoes, flour, salt, and an egg. There is a "correct" ratio of potatoes to flour, but I simply added enough flour until the potatoes and the egg came to the right texture to be rolled into snakes before being cut and shaped.
I skipped taking pictures of the rolling and the mixing because my hands were absolutely disgusting and I wasn't risking ruining my camera by doing that. Basically, I took baseball sized pieces of dough and rolled it out into a rope and cut it into small pieces. When cut the dough looks almost pillow shaped. I then dropped the gnocchi dough pillows into boiling water for 2 minutes or until it floated on top of the water. At this point I put it in ice water to stop the cooking then moved them to a cookie sheet to await further use. Once I was done I made a pink sauce, and dumped the gnocchi in.
Then I stirred it all together and let it simmer until Kristyn and Anne got here to eat. I think one of the best parts about it was that I let it simmer in the sauce, they got a good flavor from residing in the delicious pink sauce for so long.

Off Beat
Strib to Land With Softer Plop
LAST YEAR THE Sacramento, California-based McClatchy Co., parent company of the Star Tribune, floated plans to shrink its newspapers (see the February 23, 2000 installment of this column). Those plans will become reality with the rollout of The Svelter Newspaper of the Twin Cities on March 6. In line with what has become a national epidemic in the newspaper industry, the Strib is cutting the size of its printing web from 54 to 50 inches. (The web is the width of four newspaper pages.) The width of an individual page will shrink from 13.5 to 12.5 inches, or roughly 7.5 percent. Star Tribune spokesman Frank Parisi tells Off Beat that as a result the paper hopes to save five percent on its newsprint costs (which he declines to enumerate). But does this mean that there will be less room for news stories in the paper? In an article about the shrinkage trend last week, Washington Post writer Geneva Overholser noted that "what many newspapers are not saying is that the overall newshole--the amount of information available to readers--is shrinking right along with the page." Parisi disputes the charge: "Our newshole has grown 15 percent in this last year, so we're not concerned about that," says he, adding that focus groups have embraced prototypes of the smaller paper as "easier to manage."
Strib Staffers' Wallets to Land With Softer Plop

CEO Gary Pruitt was in town last week for the paper's annual employee meeting, an event that transpired without the customary "success sharing" bonuses. Strib spokesman Frank Parisi says the paper fell short of both cash-flow and revenue targets for the year: "Since we didn't meet or exceed our targets, we told employees several weeks ago that there was not going to be any success sharing."
Only in the Twin Cities
LAST WEEK, AS Off Beat was out getting our semi-annual dose of culture, we happened on a new installation at the Walker Art Center by artist Kara Walker--a series of drawings tied to the museum's celebration of Black History Month. What caught our attention was a warning above the gallery entrance noting that "the works in this room illustrate an artist's reaction to and analysis of racial stereotyping. The language is frank, and the images may be unsettling." Certainly, Walker is no stranger to controversy; her previous work, including a piece in the art center's 1997 "no place (like home)" exhibit consisting of cutout silhouettes of grotesque 19th-century African-American stereotypes, generated a letter-writing campaign by fellow black artists decrying her politically incorrect images. It was somewhat surprising, nevertheless, to see a museum preface an artist's work with the art-world equivalent of an NC-17 rating. Has Tipper Gore, the cultural maven behind parental-labeling of popular music, turned her attention to high culture now that she has some time on her hands? Walker spokeswoman Karen Gysin explains that while such curatorial advisories are not usual, nor are they particularly unusual. "It doesn't happen all the time, but we've definitely done it before," Gysin says, noting that during last year's often explicitly sexual Let's Entertain exhibit, signs advised parents and teachers to preview the work on display before exposing their impressionable charges to it. "Not everything is for everyone," says Gysin. "We want to give the public as much information as possible if there's something in an exhibit that people might find objectionable."
What's in a Name?
IT'S TIMES LIKE this that we're glad we don't work for a mainstream news outlet. Was it just us, or did it actually take a little extra effort to keep the bland-faced professional-newscaster veneer intact when speaking aloud the name of the University of Minnesota's newly minted alleged child-porn connoisseur? Not that we'd ever stoop so low as to make fun of someone's name, but Off Beat did lean a little closer to the tube every time an anchor was compelled to reveal the identity of our own Professor Pervo.

Everybody knows Arizona is a low tax state. Our legislature has been cutting rates for decades, and as a result, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, we're number 35 in overall state taxes; only 15 states have rates lower than ours.

The latest piece of street art by Banksy went missing, but it magically reappeared in the most unlikely of places. During an interview with CCTV, Broad Plain Boys Club Manager Dennis Stinchcombe said he removed Banksy's "Phone Lovers" from a wall on Clement Street and plans to sell it for hundreds of thousands of pounds to save the club.

The goal of the Archdiocesan conciliation process is shaped by, and anchored in, Scripture. Simply, that goal is to assist those engaged in disputes to settle those disputes within the context and spirit of peace and reconciliation. The goal then is to bring not only resolution to problems, but to restore broken relationships whenever possible.
Conciliation achieves its goal by creating an atmosphere where faith, prayer, respect for truth, compassion for failure, understanding human weakness, openness to conversion and readiness to change are part of the fabric of the resolution to the problem.
Employees, pastors, agency directors, lay volunteers and individual members of the Church who have been unable to find a solution to a Church-related problem may contact the Office of Conciliation to initiate the process to determine whether or not the problem is within the jurisdiction of the Office of Conciliation. If the problem falls within the aegis of the Office of Conciliation, and the disputing parties agree to enter into the conciliation process, a Volunteer Conciliator is assigned to assist the parties in resolving their disputes.

I finally caved and set up a Facebook account for Studio Style Blog! I've had Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram linked to this blog for a long time, but hadn't taken the time to setup an official Facebook page. So here's my shameless plug… go like Studio Style Blog on Facebook!
I've added every single post from the start of Studio Style Blog so there's a ton of great content to scroll through if you happen to have missed a post.
And if I haven't said it lately, thank you to all of my wonderful readers, new and old. The blog has really taken off lately and site traffic is increasing each month. None of this would be possible without you! Thanks for following along.

A short reprieve
Dan I and took a few days to spend some quite nights alone at a beautiful bed and breakfast place up at Newport Beach. It was wonderful. The drive wasn't too long, the traffic was not California awful and we found the place with little or no problem. Remind me to call them about their elevator being out all weekend. Ordinarily this wouldd not have been a big dealio but since I have oxygen strapped to my face to accommodate for some tired lungs, an elevator would have just made our stay a bit more convenient.
Decorated Victorian style by the owners, The Dorymann's Inn was just what they had shown me on web--large quiet rooms with nice juicy bathtubs and fireplaces in each room. It was located right across from the beach and pier so once the car was parked, it was all good.
Somehow all this rest has made me more tired than when we got started out. All the meds I'm taking for pain just make my brain feel retarted.. No hand to eye coordination and lots of slow, rolling fog. Like of the Edgar Allen Poe Variety.
So I am out of wok for a couple of months. The worry list is beginning. I have to remember that this is no scam, this is real and my claim is real and I am worth it to do this right. My goals are
- To rest
- To attend all doctor appointments with a second pair of ears and a second pair of arms...this news keeps getting worse so I need my best huggers now,
- To eat regularly and healthfully. You would not believe it it...last night I triumphantly finshed half a bowl of lobster bisque, then had half of a deliciously concocted salad made of crunchy asian pears, spring greens, blueberries, gorgonzola cheese and candied walnuts followed deliciously by a perfectly done, medium steak diane with mushrooms that filled the air with its precious aroma. It was so good. I ate as much as a I could and ever so gracriously, when asked, I turned in my fork and refused desert.
We paid the check and headed back to our room in the secret hallways of our sweet little place. By the time we had reached the halfway mark to our roomI knew it was not to be. The food had sort of lodged it's way in my chest and had quit descending. By the time I got all the way up to our room, I headed right for the bathroom. Bye Bye my delightful dinner, we will meet again.
When will I start chemo? Maybe Wednesday. Like I said I still feel tired. And since this one willl make all hair fall out, I would like to try to duplicate my hairstyle and it's highlights, which I rather like. I do have two wigs left over from my last run in with TAC chemo which made me egg bald for a year but frankly I'd rather wear mickey mouse ears than put one of those wigs on my head again. Yuck.
