A quick one for you this week as we hear about another PPAC show gone wrong!

Hope and Resilience was the message from this heartwarming interview with David and Marie Osmond. They have an upcoming show at the Providence Performing Arts Center on Thursday, December 22nd, at 730pm. Stephanie got to catch up with David and Marie to talk about Christmas in the Osmond household and the current tour. Marie not only gushes about how David is wonderful to share a stage with but shares her message that miracles are still happening, and her promise to deliver a little Christmas now is just what we all need. This informal chat is a very open and honest conversation between Marie and David, and they both convey so much love and light. I hope everyone takes in the show at PPAC.

In this episode, Physical Therapist and Advocate Dr. Mercedes Aguirre Valenzuela, PT, DPT, talks about advocacy in physical therapy. Today, Dr Valenzuela talks about the different types of advocacy and the latest updates in advocacy. How is grassroots advocacy different than lobbying? Hear about APTA advocacy, making a difference as one person, and get Mercedes' advice to her younger self, all on today's episode of The Healthy, Wealthy & Smart Podcast.   Key Takeaways Three types of advocacy: Self-advocacy. Advocating for yourself. Individual advocacy. Advocating for someone else. Systems advocacy. Advocating for changing policies, laws, and rules. “You don't have to be a member of a certain group in order to send an email or make a phone call.” “Don't feel like you have to start on your own.” “You can really make a difference, even as one person.” “Get used to making mistakes, not being perfect. It's all part of learning.”   More about Dr. Mercedes Aguirre Valenzuela Dr. Aguirre Valenzuela received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Rutgers School of Health Professions in 2020. Her dedication to professional advocacy has led her to leadership roles in the APTA on a National and State level. She was selected to serve as an APTA Board-sponsored Centennial Scholar and worked on the APTA “PT Moves Me” national campaign. In 2022, she began her term in the public policy and advocacy committee (PPAC) and CSM Steering Group. Within the Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy, she is an active member and was elected to be in the Nominating Committee. In the state of New Jersey, she is an APTA Delegate as well as a Key Contact in her district. Clinically, she currently works in the early-intervention and school-based settings. Outside of the clinic setting, she uses social media to educate PTs/PTAs/students on how to advocate for their profession and encourage them to run for office.   Suggested Keywords Healthy, Wealthy, Smart, Physiotherapy, Advocacy, Lobbying, Legislation, APTA, Representatives, Interventions,   Resources Our Experiences Matter When it Comes To Advocacy APTA Patient Action Center   To learn more, follow Dr. Valenzuela at: LinkedIn:         Mercedes Aguirre Valenzuela Instagram:       @theptadvocate   Subscribe to Healthy, Wealthy & Smart: Website:                      https://podcast.healthywealthysmart.com Apple Podcasts:          https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/healthy-wealthy-smart/id532717264 Spotify:                        https://open.spotify.com/show/6ELmKwE4mSZXBB8TiQvp73 SoundCloud:               https://soundcloud.com/healthywealthysmart Stitcher:                       https://www.stitcher.com/show/healthy-wealthy-smart iHeart Radio:               https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-healthy-wealthy-smart-27628927   Read the Full Transcript Here: 00:00 Hi, Mercedes, welcome to the podcast, I am happy to have you on and to see you again.   00:06 Nice to be here. Thank you for having me. Yes. And today we're gonna be talking about advocacy, which, in physical therapy, which I have spoken about with a lot of different people over the years. And I think it's great to get different perspectives on advocacy, especially from younger therapists, because I think it's great that you guys get involved. So my first question to you is, how did you get involved into an advocacy work for the profession? And why is it important to you?   00:37 So I graduated in 2020.   00:43 I was very even before I started PT, school, I was very into politics, legislation and public policy.   00:53 And then once I went into PT, school, I never learned about what the abt does in terms of advocacy, I felt like he kind of mesh, kind of like the two things that are really impassionate about and enjoy. And so I became more involved as a student. And then once I graduated, I wanted to create   01:16 content that was related to advocacy and explained in a very simple way. What are like the current updates going on right now? Because I feel like legislation, can we, it can be a bit intimidating for people to understand and to really get into. And I wanted to show people, what are the updates without all these extra details that they don't really want.   01:46 And that's what I've been doing thus far. And it's been really a great learning experience. When we talk about advocacy, I think that there are a couple of different types of advocacy. So could you go into a little bit more detail on the different types of advocacy, especially in the PT world?   02:09 Yeah, you're correct. So there are several definitions of advocacy.   02:16 I can just give you three of them. So number one, is self advocacy. So advocating for yourself, for example, you're advocating for a pay raise or a change in work conditions. There's individual advocacy, so advocating for someone else, for example, sending out a letter to your patient's insurance company in order to get more PT visits. Then there is systems advocacy, which is my personal favorite. And it's about changing policies, laws, rules, and how they can impact multiple people's lives. And that is more targeted at a local state or even national level.   03:05 And when you're talking about systems advocacy, is that when you know we as physical therapists, ourselves, and maybe encourage our patients to send a letter to CMS or send a letter to your Senator, advocating for whether it be you know, the stock, the Medicare cap, that was a number of years ago, things like that.   03:26 Yes. So what are you are describing right now is a grassroots movements.   03:34 So, grassroots movement is similar to how the way grass grows from the bottom up. So we are the grassroots advocates, we are at the bottom we are what legislators call constituents meeting, someone who can vote.   03:53 And we advocate for things that affect the top so the top is like policy, law, etc.   04:03 And the APTA has grassroots movements. For example, as I mentioned before with CMS, it was the hashtag fight the cut movement, which was one of them. And there are examples of different types of movements in grassroots, such as me to or love wins, black lives matter. So that's kind of how grassroots advocacy works. How is that different than lobbying? So how does that work if you can compare and contrast the two?   04:35 Sure. Let me explain what a lobbyists first perfect, though a good start. So a lobbyist is someone whose job is to build relationships and network with legislators and their staff. And that lobbyists represents an Oregon   05:00 datian So the APTA hires lobbyists. And their job is to advocate for us, they don't have to be physical therapists themselves. But we can also do the acts of lobbying, such as making phone calls to a legislator, sending emails, even having meetings.   05:24 But it's not like our job because you know, we have our own stuff to do.   05:30 Right, exactly, exactly. So you can be part of a grassroots advocacy effort, and then kind of take that into the act of lobbying not as a professional lobbyists, like you said, but like, for example, when a PTA and I know the private practice section will do this, will have groups of physical therapists go to meet with their lawmakers from their state on Capitol Hill, and also individual states will have lobby day within the state. Yes, correct.   06:08 And you don't have to be a member of a certain group and whatnot, in order to send an email write a phone call is really what you want to see change personally, or even like a small group of people don't ever feel like you have to like be a part of something big. Like, it's about what you are passionate and care about. Right. So if you're not part of the APTA you can still lobby on behalf of patients. Is that correct? Yes, I wouldn't call it necessary lobbying, but like advocating, advocating, like, you can still send a phone call, Hey, I had this patient experience and I want you to know about this and be aware about this. There's going to be a one this change in my practice, ag whatever like your state is advocating for you can still do that without being a member. Right. And how do we know as physical therapists? What is on legislative agendas, let's say for the APTA Is there a tool we can use to find out what's going on? Yes. So the APTA has an advocacy network, and you can join, it sends a newsletter,   07:29 every month, every couple of months, you can also visit that abt patient Action Center, which they have pre written emails that you can send out to your legislators, and you don't have to be a member in order to do those things. Great. So the APTA patient Action Center, and there's an app for that, right? Yes, there is a PT,   07:57 advocacy app that you can use, and you can also go on your browser as well. Right, right. So I think the big takeaways from there is there, there is an app for that.   08:10 Or, or you can go online, and you can find sort of pre written letters and things that you can send off to your senators or your congress people, whether that be at the federal or the state level. And you don't have to be an APTA member in order to have access to that. Yes, perfect, perfect. Okay, what are our current advocacy updates? What's on the table? What's on the line? What do we need to know? So for the last couple of Congresses,   08:47 there has been a bill that has been introduced called the Allied workforce diversity Act, which helps in recruiting a more diverse allied health workforce, as well as retaining those students and   09:07 just increasing the graduation rate as well, because sometimes you get these students in these programs, but they don't graduate. So that's the goal of that bill. It has not passed in the last couple of Congresses, but it was that bill was merged. Like the right the wording of it was merged into a pandemic bill, which has a high very high probability of passing. So that has been great news. That bill is called the prevent pandemics act.   09:43 And it's just to modernize the country's pandemic response, and they felt that workforce diversity was really important in it. So that's   09:56 that that's pretty huge since it was, has been a battle   10:00 To get this bill to pass for the last couple of Congresses, another one, if you're in pediatrics going to try to diversify these updates.   10:11 So there is a bill called the specialized instructional support personal services act.   10:21 You can also find it as a gross gross CIPS Act, as well, they call it hr 7219.   10:30 So this bill is going to create grant program, a Department of Education to increase partnerships between school districts and colleges to train specialized instruction support personnel. So PTS are included as that type of personnel, as well as PTAs. And they, and this is great, because, um, I was I worked at a school based physical therapist, and there is such a need for more therapists, so I could understand why they wanted to kind of increase, have more of a network between programs and school districts in order to retain the therapists.   11:17 Especially I,   11:21 you know, I saw, we're going to school way therapists, but like, I just always get emails all the time, like, we need therapists, we need therapists. And, you know, there's some kids that like I can't even see, even in the same school. So   11:34 very important for you school, PTs and PTAs. Out there, there is also a pelvic health bill that has been introduced. So moving on to pelvic health, the purpose of this bill is to educate and train health professionals on the benefits of pelvic floor physical therapy.   12:00 I think that's such a huge thing for pelvic health therapists is just a lot of people that don't know what it is. And you know, patients that go to their physicians for answers, they don't provide them the enough guidance, because they don't know that that help is out there.   12:20 So they'll be great. And the bill will also help to educate postpartum women on the importance of pelvic floor examinations and physical therapy.   12:33 And what it is and how to obtain a pelvic physical therapy examination, which would help increase access. And this bill was actually worked by representatives from a BT pelvic health, which is pretty amazing that, you know, Pts helped in creating this bill.   12:57 Yeah, and that was introduced into the house already are in committee. It was introduced, like into the house. Yep. Fabulous. Yeah. Anything else on the legislative docket? I can talk about a federal agency. Yeah, go for it. Update from the NIH. Okay. So the ABA is part of the disability rehab research coalition. And they some, which is occupational therapists are part of it, a lot of associations are a part of it. And they submitted a comment to the NIH requesting them to consider designating people with disabilities as a health disparity population, which I didn't think that they weren't. So I was really surprised by that. And this is just so important, because for the purposes of federal research, for this minority group, and it will develop and inform critical policy solutions to reduce and eliminate health disparities for people with disabilities. So I don't know the current update, but it is great that it is being brought up at this time. Perfect. All right, so we've got allied workforce diversity act. We've got the HR hr 7219, which was for school based PTS, and that was a really, really long   14:29 name for that bill. Yeah. And then we've got the pelvic health bill. So all those those three bills plus an update from the NIH. And if people go to the advocacy APTA PT Action Center, they should be able to find more information on that on those bills and how to contact their Congress person, correct?   14:56 Yes, perfect. So   14:59 in turn   15:00 terms of like federal agencies, if you're talking about the CDC, NIH, that's not necessarily something you just send an email to.   15:09 But for other legislations, yes, you can find pre written emails in regards to that. Excellent. All right. Well, that is a great overview of where we are right now. And current current advocacy updates. Thank you so much. Now, next question. What advice do you have for students and younger physical therapists, new career physical therapists who might want to get into advocacy? But maybe they feel like, Oh, I just don't know enough? Or I'm too new. What do you say to that?   15:43 Well, I will say contact me because I love   15:48 going to students sake meetings at different states and talking about advocacy, I have been to a few SEC meeting, so contact me and I will gladly, you know, present and help you guys out in any way possible. But also, when I was a student, I was really interested in to advocacy. And there wasn't much going on around in my program student lead wise. So I contacted my trusted professor, which is someone that I looked at as a mentor, and they really helped and guided me. So don't feel like going to have to start on your own, you know, find a professor that you trust and you feel is kind of already involved in advocacy in some level.   16:37 And they will help you out as well. Perfect. And who was that professor for you? Let's give them a shout out. It was Dr. Mike Rella. Ah,   16:48 yes, yeah. She just retired, right? Yes, he did. Yeah, that's a loss for sure. Yeah. But yeah, she really helped me out a lot. Oh, amazing. Yeah, she's a nice, she's a nice lady, for sure. Well, it's great that you had that professor to help guide you. And I think that's great advice for students and, and new graduates is reach out to those professors, because they, they can really help to guide you through advocacy, and through a whole bunch of other things as well. And they can also follow you on social media. Right. So what is your what is your social media handle? And where can people find you? At the PT advocate? Perfect, and that's on on Instagram? Perfect. That's the gram. Just the gram for now. That is great. And is that the best way for people to reach out to you they can just slide into your DM. Vic about advocacy only please?   17:48 Yes, or piece, you know, yeah, yeah, or pediatric care. Perfect. Perfect. All right. So what do you want people to take away from this conversation? If you can kind of distill it down to a couple of points? What would that be? I know, sometimes we can feel that we're just one person, one change can we make? And I know I feel that way. Sometimes too. Even though I have this advocacy, Instagram, sometimes I'm just like, all the stuff that's going on in the world's I walk in Mercedes do what can I even do about this, but you can really make a difference even as one person, that phone call that email that you send, even just reading about it and being aware and talking to colleagues about it or your patients about it, increasing a word that awareness of that can still be great and can still make a change. Don't feel like you are alone. There's a whole Association backing you up in this, and it's all for, you know, to progress our profession. So don't feel alone. And don't feel that like you can't not make a change because you can and your voice is really important. I love it. And last question, it's when I ask everyone, knowing where you are now in your life and your career. What advice would you give to your younger self? I would say get used to making mistakes not being perfect.   19:21 Because when I was a student everytime made a mistake, I was like, oh proceeds How could you do that? That's horrible scar for life. And as a new grad, I make a mistake every other day, every day. So just get used to it saltwater learning. Yeah, and I can say as someone who's been out for over 20 years, I make mistakes every day, too. Yeah. So it's never it's never ending we'll have mistakes and that's okay. Because like you said, you'll constantly learn from them. Thank you so much, Mercedes, for coming on and talking about advocacy. I love your passion. And I think it's great to see new graduates out there and making a difference. So thank you for that. And thank you for coming on. Thank you   20:00 for having me. My pleasure, everyone. Thanks so much for tuning in. Have a great couple of days and stay healthy, wealthy and smart.   20:13 Thanks for listening. And don't forget to leave us your questions and comments at podcast dot healthy, wealthy smart.com

Have you ever been to see a show at the Providence Performing Arts Center and marveled at the gorgeous building? Well, you might be surprised to know that when PPAC opened in the late 1920s, the theater showed a different kind of show–movies! I'm joined by special guests Lynn Singleton and Alan Chille this week to dive into the history of Providence's Movie Palace, these elaborately decorated movie theaters designed to make the average person feel like royalty. And Lynn and Alan will share some amazing behind-the-scenes stories that shed light on everything that goes into keeping a historic building like this one open for all to enjoy. Episode Source Materialhttps://preservation.ri.gov/sites/g/files/xkgbur406/files/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/providence/prov_weybosset-street-220_loews-state-theater.pdfPPAC History | Providence Performing Arts CenterLoews Cineplex Entertainment - Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_(movie_theater)Movie palace - WikipediaThe Theaters of Providence Part 2 – The Modern Era - Online Review of Rhode Island HistoryRapp and Rapp - WikipediaProvidence Performing Arts Center - WikipediaProvidence Performing Arts Center | Rhode TourProvidence Performing Arts Center in Providence, RI - Cinema TreasuresThe Theaters of Providence, Part 1 – The Early Years - Online Review of Rhode Island HistoryLoew's State Theatre, Palace Concert Theater & Ocean State TheatrePolitics and Pasta History of film - WikipediaSilent film - WikipediaProvidence Performing Arts Center (Loew's State Theatre) | SAH ARCHIPEDIAPalace Theater, (Ocean State Theatre, Performing Arts Center), 220 Weybosset Street, Providence, RI“Playing the Palace”: A History Of Motion Picture Palaces - The CreditsMovie Palaces Let Everyday Americans Be Royalty | Smart News| Smithsonian MagazineA very short history of cinema | National Science and Media Museum

The state volleyball tournament begins on Thursday at the Broadmoor World Arena and Discovery Canyon coach Melissa Bravo took the time to talk about the strength of the PPAC, the current double-elimination format at state and how sports will encourage the development of high school kids.

Chiplets are the new “It” heterogeneous integration technology. Many believe they provide the solution to power, performance, area and cost (PPAC) for everything from mobile computing and automotive applications, to 5G, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence. In this podcast episode, Françoise speaks with 3D InCites' Community Members, Kevin Rinebold of Siemens EDA, and Robin Davis of Deca to explore how successful chiplet integration begins with a collaborative design flow. To get started, we'll get some of the chiplet back-stories, beginning with the advantages of disaggregating SoC into hardened IP blocks of different nodes, and reintegrating them on an “interconnect fabric.” From there, we define what we mean by chiplets, what differentiates them from system-in-package, and how different advanced packaging architectures can be implemented to create chiplet packaging.  We also discuss the main challenges of designing chiplet packages; such as who owns the design? Is it the IC designer or package designer? How do we manage the die shift? How do we manage multiple designs?Additionally, Kevin and Robin talk about their companies' respective design kits, and how they are working together to enable a chiplet ecosystem.Papers/presentations referenced by Kevin and Robin include: Using a System Technology Co-Optimization Approach for 2.5/3D Heterogeneous Semiconductor Integration – Siemens EDA Adaptive Patterning Techniques for the Chiplet Era – Deca Contact the Speakers on LinkedIn:  Kevin Rinebold Robin (Gabriel) DavisKiterocket A global strategic marketing agency serving the semiconductor and sustainability industries.

早安，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第1582天，我是咔图摄影教育中心的讲师星明。我发现在我认识的人当中（包括我自己在内）有相当一部分的摄影爱好者，尤其是通过摄影获得过报酬的人，都有或曾经有过想成为一名职业摄影师的想法。除了想要把爱好当成职业这个看似很诱人生活方式以外，我们也会期盼着通过更多的拍摄实践，让自己的爱好更加精进。但是把爱好当成职业，真的有想象中那么美好吗？下面我就结合我自己的一些经历和见闻来分享一下我个人的看法。首先，成为职业摄影师以后，各种各样的项目会逼着你快速掌握更全面的技术。比如在拍摄活动时，因为场景要经常变化，需要频繁改变相机参数，这就需要你对相机的各项参数和相机的设置都了如指掌。如果要进行棚拍，就需要你对影棚的灯光、附件、布光等等比较熟悉。想要拍人像，那就得培养自己和模特沟通以及引导模特的能力。这些技术能力的提升，在一定程度上确实可以保证摄影师能够顺利按时完成项目，不至于出什么岔子。© 星明但有这么一句话，技术决定下限，审美决定上限。而职业摄影师的审美却很容易被自己的客户裹挟而陷入瓶颈。比如大部分的会议摄影是比较公式化的，对于构图、色彩甚至人物的表情都有一定的限制，留给摄影师自由发挥的空间就没剩多少了，再有想法也得按照人家的要求来。再举个例子，人像摄影算是一个个人风格比较突出的领域了吧，但是依然摆脱不了客户的审美对摄影师的影响。比如说现在有个妹子来找你拍写真，相信大部分人想要拿到的照片都得是皮肤要白点、腿要长一些、要显瘦、还要p掉痘痘……很多时候，摄影师为了取悦客户，需要花大量的时间去学习和掌握这些大众的审美。但这些真的是摄影师自己喜欢的吗？© 星明好像是两年前吧，我有幸和叶老师一行人一起参加了PPAC（亚洲专业摄影师协会）的颁奖会，来现场领奖的有来自世界各地的职业摄影师，他们的作品都非常的精致，非常的漂亮。可是在听完叶老师的讲座之后，当场就有好几位摄影师来找叶老师交流，他们普遍都陷入了因为客户的审美方向比较狭隘，导致他们始终都在拍摄类似风格作品的情况。他们也很苦恼，也想要在不影响收入的情况下可以拍摄自己真正喜欢的作品。所以你看，把爱好作为职业，换来的不一定是美梦，也可能是一场噩梦。当然，今天说这么多并不是想让大家打退堂鼓啊，我只是想提醒有心要成为职业摄影师的同学们做好心里准备，把爱好变成职业的同时，也会给自己的爱好加上不少束缚。要突破这些束缚，你所要付出的努力，相比爱好还只是爱好的时候要多得多。好，今天就聊到这里吧，我是咔图摄影教育中心的讲师星明。每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，我们不见不散。

ABOUT PPACPhiladelphia Photo Arts Center is an artist-focused institution rooted in Philadelphia that supports the study, production, and exhibition of contemporary photographic practices for a broadly diverse audience.ABOUT TEN YEARS: TEEN PHOTO ALUMNI EXHIBITIONPhiladelphia Photo Arts Center celebrates its 10-year anniversary by featuring creative works by students who participated in the Teen Photo program over the last decade. Alumni were invited to submit their work for the Ten Years: Teen Photo Alumni Exhibition and share how creativity has manifested in their lives and through their photography.Teen Photo is a free afterschool program for Philadelphia public high school students. From September to May, students are provided with full access to PPAC’s equipment, materials, and teaching staff, as well as a DSLR camera to take home for the duration of the program. Students are divided into four sections and meet weekly with dedicated mentors to share photos, learn technical skills, and go on art museum visits and photo walks. As the teens expand their thinking, both critically and creatively, they build confidence and develop a love of learning that helps them grow in every aspect of their lives. The program has grown from eight students in 2010 to 69 students in 2019. In total, the Teen Photo program has served 260 Philadelphia high school students since its inception.Ten Years: Teen Photo Alumni Exhibition will feature the work of 27 local artists. The photographs from the exhibition will be printed, mounted and framed by Philadelphia Photo Arts Center. The exhibition will be on display from March 12 – May 2. Proceeds from the sale of the works will be split between the artist and Philadelphia Photo Arts Center.This exhibition is made possible with the generous support of the Honickman Foundation, the John S. and James L.

TEN YEARS LATER. . .we review the shows we saw like, a month (or more) ago: An Iliad at Trinity Rep, The Revolutionists by Epic Theatre Company, and the national tour of School of Rock at PPAC. Maybe we'll explain why this took so long next time!

More chefs, more music, more Chefs of the Orchestra and a little Star Wars on the side. Chef Lou Rossi, executive chef of Castle Hill Inn in Newport RI and Matt Koons, CHI's food and beverage director, each describe an amazing weekend at Castle Hill. You might say North is gonna meet South in your mouth. A Southern Soul Weekend with a top-flight dinner and a big-time brunch all with Southern style with two chefs from resorts in Georgia and Florida. There is much more to the story and Matt and Lou will tell it all. Then, its off to a galaxy far far away with the Star Wars score performed live by the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra while "Star Wars: A New Hope" plays on the big screen at PPAC! Conductor Lucas Richman swings a mean baton and Bruce and the maestro break it down.

在学会将规矩打破之前，我们还是要先学好规矩。叶梓老师（PPAC年度盛典）讲座回看方法:1、APP或电脑登录网易云课堂2、搜索“摄影直播大讲堂”3、选择章节1，课时10或复制链接：https://study.163.com/courses-search?keyword=摄影直播大讲堂点击进入，选择章节1，课时10早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第945天。　　阳光/咖啡在摄影早自习的微信群里面向我提问。他说看了我在PPAC的演讲《凭什么这就是美》，他觉得非常棒，但是有个问题想问我，他说对于他们这种小白是不是还是要先学习摄影的规矩，然后才能将规矩打破？　　后边的Single西安同学就赶快回答了，他说的很明确，他说不学规矩，你怎么把规矩打破呢。他说天下事皆是如此，基本功有多扎实，成就就会有多高。　　我觉得Single说的是有道理的。我的态度是什么你呢？首先需要强调一下，我在PPAC的讲座是针对摄影比赛里已经打入决赛的选手们做的（讲座），他们显然已经不缺基本功，不缺摄影器材的操作、摄影的技法，因为他们全都是了然于胸的，没有问题的。所以我不能再跟他们说在规矩上你们要如何做的更规矩，因为那样的话其实束缚了他们的发展。我在PPAC主办方的安排下在当地拍摄的照片　　所以我去做演讲的目的——或者说PPAC之所以请我去给他们做演讲——就是为了要打破他们的那些成见。如果他们觉得这样做是对的，我就非得反过来说那样做才是对的，至于事实是否真的如此，我想也不一定。对不对？但是我作为演讲者、作为教育者，我有责任要通过一个比较激进的讲法来触发对方的一些思考和改变。这就是第一个问题：你要搞清楚我的演讲对象是谁，是不是你。　　第二个问题就确实是像Single西安说的那样，对于绝大部分的摄影爱好者而言，我们都应该先把基本功做扎实，然后才去想如何去打破它。为什么要这么去做？为什么不能一开始就走到一个所谓的自由的境地？主要是因为大部分人可能都没有天资，他们在一开始就去接触高级的武功的时候很容易走火入魔，因为那些高级的武功心法听上去虽然很诱人，好像可以一步登天，好像可以直奔自由的境地，但是事实上往往导致人们走火入魔。　　比如说我说的“凭什么要减法原则”这件事情：做减法原则的时候是很容易把照片拍得漂亮的，这种做法是安全的，但是如果一上来就让每张照片都不干净、不简洁、不突出主体，那么其实你就很容易拍出一些完全失败的照片来。也就是说做减法你很容易成功，但是不做减法你很容易失败。对于绝大部分人而言，先学那些被归纳出来的技巧和规矩，显然是最安全的做法。　　同样的这种学习方法我们也会在佛教中见到。有的流派可能会更讲究“次第”，就是所谓的阶梯。大师们会要求他们的弟子去完成一个一个的学习任务、一个个的作业，做完后我才能教你下一个任务、下一个道理。但是有的流派可能更讲究“顿悟”，也就是说他们相信我只要点到那个感觉上、点到恰当的位置，我可以让他在那一瞬间得到一个非常高的感悟，如果一次两次三次点到他，这也是一种很好的教育方法，让他一步走到一个比较高的层次上。那么谁会这么修？禅宗会比较强调这种顿悟的修法，但是你要知道禅宗有一个大的前提条件，就是说这种修行方法只适合于那一些非常有天资的人，而不是适用于普遍的大众的学习方法。我在PPAC主办方的安排下在当地拍摄的照片　　同样我们再回到摄影里来，你会发现绝大部分人都是适用于先学规矩、再打破规矩的，要先立再破；但是一小部分人，比如说我的学员里大概有三位这样的学员——是根本不需要再学习规矩，可以直接跳过这个阶段，直接学习一些更高级的“心法”的。我们在网易云课堂上已经有了将近50万的学员，但是我现在只找到三个可以这样来学习的学生。我们不能讲一定要先立后破，但是大部分时候确实如此，这就是我的答案。　　今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第945天，我是叶梓，每天早上6:30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

　　早安，我是叶梓，今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第938天，又是周六了，首先祝大家周末愉快。 叶梓老师（PPAC年度盛典）讲座回看方法:1、APP或电脑登录网易云课堂2、搜索“摄影直播大讲堂”3、选择章节1，课时10　　我们约定的是在周六要为大家分享一张我拍的照片，并且讲讲照片背后的故事。所以今天就讲讲去年在新疆拍摄照片的时候遇到的一个场景吧。这个场景是很美的，对面有初秋的树林，所以它里边有黄色有红色，甚至还有一点点紫色，当然有很多的绿色在里面交织在一起。林子下面是有条小河，小河水流非常湍急，河中间有很多比较尖锐的大块的岩石是黑色的，质感非常的好，河里面还偶尔飘着一两根朽木。好，那么面对这个场景我怎么拍照呢？叶梓摄影　　我首先被石头吸引了，所以我就用长焦镜头对准石头，然后用高速快门连拍了很多张照片。我的想法本来是想把水花给记录清楚，因为这个水特别干净，所以它扬起来的时候有点像玻璃般的质感，我想把玻璃般的质感拍出来。但很快我就发现我做不到。第一，因为水花不够高，它的形态不够完整。第二，当天是没有阳光的，所以水花没有被（光线）射透，就出现不了那种晶莹剔透的感觉。叶梓摄影　　所以很快我就换了一种策略。我直接安装了一片ND1000的颜色超深的中灰减光镜，使得我的快门速度降到了60秒那么长。这样一来水花就变成了水雾，这种水雾确实能够凸显石头的质感，让石头的那种坚韧，那种挺拔，那种粗糙都淋漓尽致地表现出来。　　而且因为水面很浅的，而水底是不平的，所以这些水它在流过这些水底的礁石的时候都会呈现出一种起伏状，最后就导致虽然我用了60秒的快门把水拍成了雾气，但是你依然能在这一团雾气中隐隐约约地分辨出这些水的转折，哪个地方高哪个地方低，碰到石头以后水又是如何绕道而行的，基本上你都能看得出来，所以这样的话就让我们的画面没有那么的单调无聊。我还蛮喜欢这张照片的，不过我还想尝试一些更好的东西，因为对面林子的颜色真的是太吸引我了，所以我还是想把它们都拍下来，于是我就拍了第三张照片。叶梓摄影　　你可以看到这张照片里面最大的问题其实就是那些礁石太乱了。我其实找了很多的角度，尝试了不同的焦距，都没有办法把这些礁石组成一些比较简单的几何形状，它们看上去永远都是一种随机的状况分布在画面里面。我觉得这样搞下去是浪费时间，所以我又换了一种策略，拍出了第四张照片。叶梓摄影　　　　我是怎么想这件事情的呢？我为什么会使用一个更广角的镜头呢？因为我在拍第三张照片的时候就已经绝望了，既然当我直接拍摄对岸石头的时候永远都不可能做到简洁，那我可以做两件事：　　第一件事情是我可以降低相机的高度，也就是降低机位来进行拍照，这样一来河段的石头它就会互相重叠在一起，从而变成一片石头而不是一颗一颗的石头，在最后的视觉效果上他们是被简化了的。　　第二是我可以搭上我这边的近景，也就是说在画面的下方拍上我这边的河岸的一些情况，一旦两个河岸都被拍进来，河流本身就形成了一个比较简单的形状，它就像是某几个字被打上了引号，它就像是某一个公式里面打了一个括弧，这条河的两岸起到了一个夹击河流的作用，起到了一个聚拢目光的作用，起到了一个让整个构图变得更整体的作用。　　我在这里还耍了一个小心机，我走了很久去寻找一堆礁石能够在我的画面的右下角形成一个三角形，我确实找到了一些地方，但是我觉得这个地方是最合适的，因为这里刚好有一根朽木，它做一个分界线搭载了水和礁石之间，它起到了一个强调的作用，它明确的告诉我照片的观众说“你们要把右下角这个区域当成一个三角形来看待”。　　那么这么一来画面就出现了四个三角形：天空是一个三角形；山体是一个在右侧超出了咱们画面范围的一个三角形，你可以在脑中把这个三角形补足；水面现在也是一个非常明显的锐角三角形；画面最右下角是一个深色的三角形。你看画面中出现了四个大的三角形，这就已经是一种比较简洁和有规律的构图了。　　接下来这四个三角形之间还有两个关系：第一个关系，以水平面为分界线，上下对称的关系。你看看是不是这样子，上面的天空和下面的礁石是对称的，山体基本上那个趋势和我们的水面是对称的。第二个规律是从上往下数，每个三角形之间的明度（就是它的明亮程度）是明暗间隔的关系。从上往下数是明-暗-明-暗，其中水面的颜色和天空的颜色刚好能够呼应一下，从具体细节上来说，右下角的这根朽木又刚好跟左边的林子呼应一下。　　那么从今天的故事里大家可以学到什么东西呢？我觉得有两点：第一点是显而易见的，我们自然界的景观是不会变化的，但是我们作为人可以主动的去选择从何处，从哪个角度，从何种高度来观察自然界，在看似完全没有规律的地方找出规律来概括自然界。　　第二点是很多人在拍风光，尤其是拍彩色的树林的时候，他们都会想要一缕阳光射过来，因为这样树叶的颜色会更鲜艳，因为这样对比度会更高、更醒目、更好看，这几乎已经成为了一种格式作文。但是你别忘了，在像这样的阴天里，我们拍摄的彩色树林，它有一种安静的力量感。所以我们摄影人出去玩从来不会说哪种天气好，哪种天气坏，我们会根据不同的天气所形成的不同的光影效果来决定我到底应该怎么样来拍照，我们脑子里想的是怎么样去利用它，而不是怎么去抱怨它。　　好，今天我们就聊这么多，别忘了看看今天微信公众号摄影早自习下方挂着的第二条图文链接，是非常重要通知，因为这是我们今年全年最大的福利了。叶梓老师（PPAC年度盛典）讲座回看方法:1、APP或电脑登录网易云课堂2、搜索“摄影直播大讲堂”3、选择章节1，课时10或复制链接：https://study.163.com/courses-search?keyword=摄影直播大讲堂点击进入，选择章节1，课时10　　12月18日、19日我将前往海口做演讲，这是PPAC（亚洲专业摄影师协会）的年度盛会，我们将全程直播国际评委们对决赛入围作品的点评过程，并且还会直播来自于世界各地的摄影专家们的精彩演讲。直播的时间会持续两天之长，是谁会做演讲，他们会做些什么样的演讲，具体什么时间，如何观看都请在今天的微信公众号“摄影早自习”的二条里寻找答案。　　今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的第938天，我是叶梓，每天早上6：30，微信公众号“摄影早自习”，不见不散。

Sebastian Maniscalco joins the Tara Granahan Show to discuss his upcoming show at PPAC.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I had the pleasure of continuing the conversation following the Women in Physical Therapy Summit with both Dr. Michelle Collie and Dr. Sandy Norby. Dr. Michelle Collie is the CEO of Performance Physical Therapy, a multi-clinic private practice with over 130 employees in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Michelle dedicates time to teaching, mentoring and coaching women through their careers. Dr. Sandra Norby is CEO and Co-Founder of HomeTown Physical Therapy which provides a practice model for ownership and champions the leadership of women in physical therapy. In this episode, we discuss: -Reflections on the Women in Physical Therapy Summit -What it takes to open a private practice and be a female entrepreneur -Why prioritizing self-care may improve your ability to lead others -The future of the Private Practice Section and public advocacy of physical therapy -And so much more!   One of the most important qualities of successful entrepreneurs and leaders is the strength to remain true to themselves. Dr. Collie stresses, “We need to have the courage to be authentic and not change who we are for other people.”   The Women in Physical Therapy Summit has provided an opportunity to build a strong nationwide community. Sandy’s biggest take away from the conference is that, “All of us women now have a confidant or a connection… At a drop of a hat, we’d all be very willing to help them out.”   As evidence supporting the efficacy of physical therapy continues to build, it becomes easier to share this information with the public and juxtapose non-invasive physical therapy treatment with less conservative and more costly interventions. Dr. Collie finds that, “It’s an exciting time for PTs. We are all learning how to advocate better for our profession because we are all respecting and understanding the value of it.”   For more information on Dr. Collie: Dr. Michelle Collie PT, DPT, MS, OCS is the CEO of Performance Physical Therapy, a multi-clinic private practice with over 130 employees in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. A graduate of the Otago University Physiotherapy program in New Zealand, Michelle came to America in 1994 to gain additional clinical experience. She completed post-graduate studies at MGH-IHP in Boston Massachusetts followed by becoming a board certified clinical specialist. Michelle chairs the National Private Practice Marketing and PR Committee and devotes much of her time to advocating for the profession of physical therapy. The Performance Physical Therapy team have received multiple awards including the 2012 RI Outstanding Philanthropic Business Award and the 2014 prestigious National Private Practice of the Year award. With over 25 years of experience, Michelle has provided clinical instruction, published articles and presented at a local and national level on physical therapy, marketing, entrepreneurship and leadership. Finally, Michelle dedicates time to teaching, mentoring and coaching women through their careers.   For more information on Dr. Norby: Sandra Norby, PT, DPT is CEO and Co-Founder of HomeTown Physical Therapy, LLC.
