A professor in UCSB’s Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, David Low, will pursue a progressive global health and development research project called “Strategy for development of enteric pathogen-specific phage”. Low’s research, notes Kenny Slaught, focuses on a new way to deal with major bacterial pathogens that are becoming resistant to many powerful antibiotics. Low will engineer phage to selectively target and kill several pathogenic bacteria to jettison any possibilities of enteric diseases in babies. They will engineer a series of different T2 lytic bacteriophage that connect multiple different regions of the BamA protein located on the surface of several pathogenic bacteria, which will ensure they only infect these specified bacteria. Furthermore, they will test the different phage for capacity to eliminate pathogenic E. coli and Shigella, and determine whether or not they have the ability to develop resistance.

Strong supporter of the Santa Barbara’s heritage and arts, Kenny Slaught has pledged his backing towards the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s “The Image More” campaign by highlighting it on his blog at KennySlaught.com. The Santa Barbara Museum of Art plays an outstanding part in the local community by providing educational programs and linking residents and visitors to truly brilliant works of art. Currently, the museum has launched a big overhaul project that includes the launch of the Imagine More campaign, an exciting fundraising endeavor that will provide for superior gallery area, more community space, necessary updates to the building, and a matchless experience. The museum hopes to raise $50 million in capital to reach these goals through the Imagine More Campaign.

Kenny Slaught firmly believes that new intuitive software and mobile applications give investors and builders a greater selection of lending and borrowing opportunities across a variety of real estate asset classes and geographies. The Golden State’s crowdfunding or peer-to-peer lending initiatives emerged with the adoption of the Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act of 2012, which significantly democratized the process in which firms can raise funds for real estate acquisitions and development. The new law allowed the previously banned practice of advertising or publicly seeking private funding from accredited individuals and firms. Individuals with a net worth of $1,000,000, excluding ownership of their personal residences, or with an yearly income of $200,000 or a household with $300,000 per annum, if filed together with a spouse, can become an accredited investor. Kenny Slaught points out that the amendments gave the green light to California borrowers and lenders to participate in debt and equity financing, in which loans generate income in the form of interest, without an official financial institution presiding as an intermediary. This has created a new avenue for property owners and funders to browse new investment offerings, perform due diligence, as well as access dashboards to monitor how assets and financial products are performing.

Kenny Slaught notes that Hospice of Santa Barbara delivers a wide range of services not only for those facing terminal and chronic illness, but also for their families. Many of the organization’s programs focus on the needs of children as they struggle with the impending or recent passing of a family member. Around 20 percent of children suffer the death of a loved one prior to turning 18, and one in 20 children sees the loss of one or both parents before they reach adulthood. Hospice of Santa Barbara seeks to provide those in these situations with free mentorship through numerous programs. This support helps children cope with their grief to avoid or alleviate depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Some of the most famous Santa Barbara architectural sceneries include, the centuries old Hotel Virginia, El Pueblo Viejo district in historic centre and the two pink towers of the Old Mission, which is the common venue of retreats and festivals. The vibrantly colored tiles of the County Courthouse houses stunning displays of murals and other attention-grabbing attributes.  Nearby, is the clock tower and observation area, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city. The Lobero theatre not only houses the regions leading performing arts events but also goes back to 1873 and was modernized in the 1920’s by George Washington Smith. Kenny Slaught gives some cases of the lavish history in Santa Barbara, where, because of the founder’s progressive planning, many antique, architecturally significant buildings line the streets of the old districts.
