Exquisite Gardens Designed by The Aldrich Company

ECAUSE OUR CLIMATE IN SANTA BARBARA allows for year-round, outdoor living, creating open-air ‘rooms’ to linger in, becomes the primary goal of all good garden design. “I take my cue for a landscape design from the home’s architectural style - be it Mediterranean, Contemporary, Traditional, Tropical or Seaside,” shared Alida Aldrich, principal designer at The Aldrich Company. “Once the design is laid out onto a Plan, a carefully Alida Aldrich crafted ‘Plant Palette’ ﬁnishes off the seamless blend of building and landscape architecture.” Aldrich, born and raised in Los Angeles, studied Landscape Architecture at UCLA, and Horticulture at Pierce College in Woodland Hills. She launched her landscape design business in 1982. Having an appreciation for the

Futuro médico, cúrate a ti mismo: vete a la galería

Future Physician, Heal Thyself: Get Thee to a Gallery

By Tom Jacobs / Paciﬁc Standard Magazine, Printed with permission

NVISION A NEW GENERATION OF DOCTORS who are more compassionate toward their patients, less prone to jumping to conclusions, and less likely to feel burned out. Then imagine such characteristics could be cultivated by tweaking the physician-training program. Sound good? Well, new research suggests such a shift is entirely possible. The key is exposing our future MDs to the arts. “The humanities have been pushed to the side in medical school curricula,” said Mark Kahn of the Tulane University School of Medicine, the paper’s senior author. “Our data suggests that exposure to the arts is linked to important personal qualities for future physicians.” “The fields of art and medicine have been diverging for the past 100 years,” added first author Salvatore Mangione, of Thomas Jefferson University. It’s time, they argue, for finding a way to meld them back together. The study, published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, features a survey taken by 729 medical students at five schools in the United States. Using a scale of zero (never) to four (daily), they reported how often they engage in various arts-related activities, including listening to music, playing an instrument, attending a theater production, or hanging out at museums and galleries. They then filled out a series of questionnaires designed to measure personal qualities that are important in a medical doctor. To measure wisdom, they reported their level of agreement with 21 statements, including “I don’t worry about other people’s opinions of me” and “I’ve learned valuable life lessons from others.” Empathy was measured by their response to statements such as “It’s difficult for a physician to view things from patients’ perspectives.” Other scales measured selfefficacy, emotional intelligence, and tolerance for ambiguity.

Una nueva investigación encuentra que los estudiantes de medicina que disfrutan de la música y el arte tienen cualidades que los hacen médicos mejores y menos estresados.

Burnout was measured by their responses to such statements as “I have difficulty concentrating” and “I feel I am unable to be sensitive to the needs of co-workers.” The researchers report students who spend more time enjoying and/or participating in the arts had higher levels of wisdom, empathy, and tolerance of ambiguity. Confirming previous research, they also demonstrated superior performance on a test of visual-spatial skills. Furthermore, “as humanities exposure increased, physical fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and cognitive weariness all decreased,” they write. Exposure to the arts “most strongly predicted wisdom,” the researchers continue, adding that wisdom could be the common thread around the characteristics that define a good doctor—“empathy, openness to possibilities, emotional resilience, mindfulness, humility, a knack for learning from life, plus a cathartic sense of humor.” Despite that, “wisdom is not a focus of today’s medical education, which concentrates primarily on information and knowledge,” they write. Kahn and his colleagues caution that these findings demonstrate correlation, not causation. It’s conceivable future physicians with higher emotional intelligence and overall wisdom naturally gravitate toward the arts and humanities. But it’s more likely that regular exposure to the deep wisdom of great artists has a profound effect. “If we wish to create wiser, more tolerant, empathetic and resilient physicians,” the researchers conclude, “we might want to reintegrate the humanities in medical education.” Playwright Anton Chekhov was a physician. This research suggests he is still very much worth turning to for a consult.

MAGINA UNA NUEVA GENERACIÓN DE MÉDICOS que sean más compasivos con sus pacientes, menos propensos a sacar conclusiones precipitadas y menos propensos a sentirse agotados. Entonces imagina que tales características podrían cultivarse ajustando el programa de formación para médicos. ¿Suena bien? Bueno, una nueva investigación sugiere que tal cambio es completamente posible. La clave es exponer a nuestros futuros médicos a las artes. “Las humanidades se han echado a un lado en los planes de estudio de las facultades de medicina,” dijo Mark Kahn, de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Tulane, autor principal del artículo. “Nuestros datos sugieren que la exposición a las artes está vinculada a cualidades personales importantes para los futuros médicos.” “Los campos del arte y la medicina han sido divergentes durante los últimos 100 años,” añadió el primer autor Salvatore Mangione, de la Universidad Thomas Jefferson. Es hora, argumentan, de encontrar una manera de unirlos de nuevo. El estudio, publicado en la Revista de medicina interna general (Journal of General Internal Medicine), presenta una encuesta realizada por 729 estudiantes de medicina en cinco escuelas en los Estados Unidos. Utilizando una escala de cero (nunca) a cuatro (diariamente), informaron con qué frecuencia participan en diversas actividades relacionadas con el arte, como escuchar música, tocar un instrumento, asistir a una producción teatral o pasar el rato en museos y galerías.

Luego completaron una serie de cuestionarios diseñados para medir las cualidades personales que son importantes en un médico. Para medir la sabiduría, informaron su nivel de acuerdo con 21 afirmaciones, incluyendo “No me preocupo por las opiniones que otras personas tienen de mí” y “He aprendido lecciones de vida valiosas de otros.” La empatía se midió por su respuesta a afirmaciones como “Es difícil para un médico ver las cosas desde la perspectiva de los pacientes.” Otras escalas midieron la autoeficacia, la inteligencia emocional y la tolerancia a la ambigüedad. El agotamiento se midió por sus respuestas a declaraciones como “Tengo dificultad para concentrarme” y “Siento que no puedo ser sensible a las necesidades de mis compañeros de trabajo.” Los investigadores informan que los estudiantes que pasan más tiempo disfrutando y / o participando en las artes tienen niveles más altos de sabiduría, empatía y tolerancia a la ambigüedad. Confirmando investigaciones anteriores, también demostraron un rendimiento superior en una prueba de habilidades visoespaciales. Además, “a medida que aumentaba la exposición a las humanidades, la fatiga física, el agotamiento emocional y el cansancio cognitivo disminuían,” escriben. Exposición a las artes “predice con mayor fuerza la sabiduría,” continúan los investigadores, agregando que la sabiduría podría ser el hilo común en torno a las características que definen a un buen médico: “empatía, apertura a las posibilidades, capacidad de recuperación emocional, atención plena, humildad, destreza para el aprendizaje de la vida, más un sentido del humor catártico.” A pesar de eso, “la sabiduría no es un enfoque de la educación médica actual, que se concentra principalmente en la información y el conocimiento,” escriben. Kahn y sus colegas advierten que estos hallazgos demuestran correlación, no causalidad. Es concebible que futuros médicos con mayor inteligencia emocional y sabiduría general graviten naturalmente hacia las artes y las humanidades. Pero es más probable que la exposición regular a la sabiduría profunda de los grandes artistas tenga un efecto profundo. “Si deseamos crear médicos más sabios, más tolerantes, empáticos y resilientes,” concluyen los investigadores, “es posible que deseemos reintegrar las humanidades en la educación médica.” El dramaturgo Anton Chekhov era médico. Esta investigación sugiere que todavía vale la pena recurrir a una consulta.

EORGE LEGRADY WAS JUST 23 when the James Bay Cree invited him to visit four of their villages to document, through photographs, their way of life in the subarctic of Québec. It was 1973, and the Québec Maggie Ekoomiak, an Inuit living in a James Bay Cree village, and provincial government was pushing a plan George Legrady, behind her. that would flood vast areas of Cree land for a hydroelectric project. Legrady, now a professor in UC Santa Barbara’s Media Arts & Technology Graduate Program, would go on to shoot roughly 3,000 photos over the three months he spent with the Cree, a First Nations people who had been hunter-gatherers on their lands for millennia. Today, 180 of those images are featured in The James Bay Cree in 1973, Legrady’s 65-by-9-foot wall installation on exhibit in the UCSB Library’s Art & Architecture Collection through the spring quarter. The photos are organized in 20 thematic clusters of nine images each showing their way of life in the James Bay Cree villages, from housing to traditional activities, social interactions, weddings, dancing, portraits of elders, young George Legrady men and women, children, a hunting trip, and nature. The exhibition also includes two videos of village scenes recorded during two return trips in 2012 and 2014, edited by Andres Burbano, a Media Arts & Technology alumnus who is today a professor of design and media in Bogota, Colombia. For Legrady, a digital media artist, the photos are “historical documents.” The Cree find them of critical value, he said, because they represent their ancestors and make them reflect on how their lives have changed. When the Cree invited him to their James Bay villages, the Québec government was planning to build the James Bay Project, a series of dams for hydroelectric power that would have flooded much of the Cree’s traditional hunting grounds. Legrady’s photos, which were exhibited in Montreal and Toronto after his visit, gave Canadians an intimate look at the Cree way of life, and of the importance of hunting and fishing. They lived in simple wood homes, but they still hunted, dried fish, and largely kept to their traditional ways. James Bay Cree members Charles Bobbish, Gordon Neacappo, Ultimately, the hydroelectric project Stephen Lameboy, and John Pashagumeskum, Fort George, flooded a traditional hunting area the size Quebec, 1973. of England, but the tribe gained significant control over 75 percent of its land and self-governance. “About 5,000 Cree had been hunting on traditional lands in northern Quebec since prehistoric times,” Legrady explained. “The overall territory they had is about the size of Texas or Germany. The Cree had never signed treaties passing the land over to Canada. They began negotiations in 1973 and continue to do so to this day, but they have successfully managed to acquire control of much infrastructure in their communities, receiving royalties, and I believe, they now have ‘nation with a nation’ status. “The North has yet to settle much of northern Canada,” he continued, “but this may be in the process of changing as climate change opens up the area for mining, shipping, and other major industries. These effects will undoubtedly impact the ecologies of the land and the traditional way of life of the First Nations who occupy these lands.” In 2012, Legrady received a National Science Foundation Arctic Social Science grant to digitize the photographs and present the images back to the Cree. He has digitized and archived about 700 for use by the Cree and ethnographers. “This photographic project has always been intended to have multiple goals, to reach out to multiple communities and a range of interests that include indigenous history, ethnography, social research, studies in visual communication, and the arts,” Legrady said. “As a digital media artist today whose work has focused on interactive installations, data visualization, and autonomous camera vision, George Legrady’s “The James Bay Cree in 1973” photo exhibition I consider this James Bay Cree project a in the UCSB Library. crucial first step in my evolution as an artist.”

Ashes to Dust

Winds spread ash from the Thomas Fire over a large part of the Santa Barbara area.

Researchers at the Bren School conducted a study on the composition of Thomas Fire residue

By Julie Cohen / The UC Santa Barbara CURRENT / UCSB Ofﬁce of Public Affairs and Communications; Printed with permission.

OR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS IN DECEMBER, ash particles swirled like snowflakes across much of Santa Barbara County, blanketing the area in a dusting of grayish-white. N95 particulate masks became a ubiquitous sight as people donned them for respiratory protection, wondering — and worrying — just what those ashes contained. Now scientists at UC Santa Barbara’s Bren School of Environmental Science & Management can tell us. A study of Thomas Fire ash collected at 18 points in Santa Barbara, Santa Paula and Goleta reveal a significant metal content — about 20 percent — with the balance likely consisting of common elements such as carbon, silicon, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and hydrogen. “Naturally, many in the community were concerned by our exposure to the ashes and what they might contain,” said environmental biogeochemist Arturo Keller, a professor in UCSB’s Bren School of Environmental Science & Management. “I thought to myself, ‘We can answer this question quite easily,’ and decided to start collecting ash for analysis.” Led by postdoctoral scholar Yuxiong Huang, the UCSB researchers, Arturo Keller including visiting scientists Anastasiia Minakova, graduate student Qian Gao and undergraduate Shogo Kono, focused on 25 elements in total, determining their concentration with a state-of-the-art Agilent instrument that can detect levels at partsper-trillion. Most abundant were calcium, aluminum, potassium, iron, magnesium, sodium and phosphorus, which together represented 98.6 percent of the metals. Their concentrations were compared to screening risk levels (SRL) for residential soils, which assume a long-term exposure to the soils. Because most of the ash was removed in the weeks after the fire, most people would not be exposed to these levels. Nevertheless, the SRLs are a useful benchmark. Of these seven most prevalent elements, only potassium was measured much higher than the risk level. As a common plant nutrient, its presence would be expected in residues from combustion of native vegetation. Aluminum and iron came in at 25.4 percent and 31.1 percent, respectively, of the SRL and therefore individually would not pose a risk. The remaining elements were mostly metals. Cobalt and manganese were the most significant, although still below their SRLs. Arsenic, lead and chromium were about 10 percent or less of their SRLs. “Although the individual levels of these metals and other elements is below the screening levels, their combined presence in the ash is of concern,” explained Keller, co-director of the UC Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology and a participating faculty member in the campus’s Chemical Life Cycle Collaborative, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency. “It was very wise to have received early on the recommendation from authorities to avoid being outdoors during the fires and to use the masks to reduce the likelihood of inhalation.” The UCSB investigators also are studying factors that affect water quality. Through collecting and analyzing freshwater and coastal water samples in the area, they will be able to develop a better understanding of the effects of the Thomas Fire and the subsequent mudslides. “We hope to provide this very useful information to our community and the authorities to better assess any residual risks,” Keller said. His team is exploring options for emergency funding to expand its monitoring efforts and would like to work with nonprofit groups and others who can help with sample collection.

Sleep a Full 8 Hours

Remember when we were younger? We could not get enough sleep and had an endless bounty of interrupted deep stage sleep. It seems to be the norm: the

older we are the less sleep we get. I am 52 years of age and starting to hear my friends say, myself included, “last night I only had 5 hours of sleep and was up 3 or 4 times.” The more I study sleep and sleep behavior the more I find we have the means to control our sleep patterns, both positively and negatively. The biggest issue I hear the most is “bedtime” shifting to times earlier and earlier in the evening. Try to change your Chrono type (Are you a morning or evening person?). In my experience, going to bed too early, say 7-9 pm, will make for a long night of tossing and turning. My suspicion is we are attempting deep sleep at a time too close to dinner, food and fluid intake. If you can stay up a little later, your body’s metabolism can begin to work at a normal rate, reducing reflux and eliminating any emergency bathroom trips. As humans, our primary goal is to reach our optimal REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycle. This is when most cell regrowth and physical recovery happens, which we find even more important as we age.

As Americans, we have been urged to add daily exercise routines into our lifestyle.

I certainly agree that consistent exercise is a foundation for overall good health. My suggestion is to abstain from any vigorous exercise within 4 hours of your predetermined bedtime. A light, brisk walk is always preferred. When I exercise before bedtime, my body temperature rises and takes nearly 3 hours to come back to normal levels. In the meantime, I toss and turn and emanate moisture, which in turn makes me feel clammy and uncomfortable. Of course, at Spencer’s Santa Barbara County Mattress Co., we specialize in designing and building mattresses that will help reduce and alleviate many of these sleep disturbances. If you are sleeping

Up For Reﬂux

Elevate Your Feet warm and damp, it may be as simple as removing your mattress protector, however, that is usually not the only factor to a poor night’s sleep. Most protectors are made of plastic and petroleum products that are notorious for bringing your body heat right back to you. Unfortunately, most mattresses in the industry are using many of the same products in the bed itself. One of the only real solutions to this problem is building a mattress using cottons, wools and natural materials. These materials are fantastic at allowing airﬂow and drive the moisture directly away from your body. It’s the closest thing to nature’s built in A/C system. After all, we came from nature why not surround ourselves in nature?

Let’s talk about another issue many of us have dealt with for years. It goes by a few names I’m

sure you’ve heard: HEARTBURN, ACID REFLUX, GURD. We suffer nightly from this very common burning sensation in our stomachs and throats. Luckily, there are many easy ways to ﬁx this. From prescribed remedies, to the good ol’ fashioned apple cider vinegar. Simply elevating

your head with a foam wedge approximately 8 inches in height may even help. An ancient Chinese remedy for acid reﬂux is cinnamon. If none of these bring relief, we supply electricdriven adjustable beds where the head and foot can rise to any position to assist with upper respiratory issues, circulation, and pain relief throughout our bodies. These are also great, but a bit more pricy than cinnamon candies. All of these are viable options, and hopefully we can guide you in the right direction.

We have spoken about your physical health, now let’s talk about the psychological aspect of sleep. Have you heard about the

“Hotel Effect?” Often, we are told, “We went on vacation, stayed at a hotel, and slept much better on their mattress than ours at home.” Well, the dirty little secret was most likely NOT the mattress. 95% of hotels use inexpensive and inadequate mattresses in even the nicest of rooms. Now, I’m not saying the mattress isn’t important, because they do replace them more often due to the overuse and abuse. When traveling, most people make a change to their circadian rhythm. It’s a good thing

- Just what the doctor ordered! You are emotionally available and away from your normal daily routine and stress. A good hotel will touch all our senses - making sure your stay and experience was exceptional. Imagine this: It’s been a long day of travel. Now its bedtime, a little later than normal. You close the curtains and adjust the thermostat for the perfect room-controlled temperature. You then peel back the crisp, clean hotel sheets slip between them, only to snuggle up with a perfectly weighted comforter. Your head billows into the luxurious pillow. You quickly fall asleep and ﬁnd yourself waking up later than normal not sure it was even possible. You get out of bed, open the curtain only to ﬁnd the sun brightly shining. Does this sound all too familiar? And you say to your partner, “Wow! I slept great! It must have been the mattress.” I don’t want to talk myself out of a sale, but I do want to alarm you as to how important it is to create the optimum sleeping environment. It is critical we strive for 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep nightly. For further information on what we can do to help you, please feel free to call or visit our mattress factory and company showroom, where we can arrange to bring the hotel experience into your personal household. Respectfully,

Spencer

P.S. Throughout my life, I’ve coined the phrase “Lights Out!” This means No TV - No Radio - No Light. Try it. It works. Sleep well!
