![]() ![]() Gather all available facts to make informed decisions with the medics. Once comfortable, continue through the procedure and just keep breathing.ĭon’t dismiss true concerns so you can decide what might be best for you. If at any point you get nervous, keep breathing and open your eyes. Mentally walk yourself through the procedure before it happens while doing slow breathing exercises - breath in for five counts and out for five (or longer) while walking yourself through what to expect with your eyes closed. Knowing what certain tests feel like can make it go smoother and easier to manage. Knowing options are always open to you if you need it can help put you at ease. Talk to them beforehand so they know you're anxious, and see what they can do to help you get through it. Most of the time, certain tests don't take much longer than 30 seconds and afterwards they'll leave you alone so you can recover if you need it. If the doctor's good, they'll keep you talking and talk to you for further distraction, and walk you through each step they take. It’s definitely worth asking something like ‘I do find this procedure extremely painful, could you try with a X?’ The procedure is easier for them to perform if you’re not squirming around in pain so there’s no reason for them not to at least try. Acknowledge you understand people don’t necessarily enjoy it for fun. Say if it’s your first time doing a certain procedure and mention your concerns. Take headphones and listen to music, explain you're nervous and would not like to hear much about what's going on but just to be told when they've started and when they've finished. You can also bring a jacket or different pants to change into. ![]() Wear a long skirt or a dress so you can just pull it up rather than take your clothes off. Can an X-ray be done instead of a biopsy? If not, ask for them to take your concerns into account and go from there, such as a less invasive tool designed for the same purpose. Is there something on hand to relieve even a little pain? Can it be self administered at home? Can you sit in a different chair? If you cannot possibly resolve something as much as you’d like, ask for them to at least tell you what’s going on and ask how they might cope with similar sensations. If they need to use a speculum, ask for a small one! Even if they can’t use all their time convincing you of how convenient something might be, still tell them if you cannot do certain methods while feeling safe. Even if it’s not worth it to spend nearly an hour on preparing something especially for you, still let them know what might work best for you. If it’s a same day appointment without any preparation beforehand, still let them know any needs. Do you know any breathing exercises or any methods to accommodate my specific needs? It’s not anything personal, it’s not distrust, but I want it to go easy for both of us. When it comes to certain exams, I’ve sensory issues, trauma, etc. Can we talk beforehand and walk me through the procedure as it will happen, step by step?ĭo you have any non invasive ways to check for X? Can you do it another way instead? Do you have any smaller and/or softer instruments to get the job done? Can you apply something (like warmth, gel, etc.) to the instrument beforehand? Is there a way to get around it? Can I say if I wanted to stop (said procedure) during any time? Can I make informed decisions to decline X? ![]() If you have a distraction tool (like telling jokes) to use I’d still like to let you know about X knowing my concerns will still be taken into account. How long will it take? Can we count up or down to the number?Ĭan you explain what you're doing as you begin to do it? Because it’s been hard in the past when X, so can we look at some techniques? Can I drink water before or during the procedure?ĭo you have a heat pack or ice pack nearby? I want to get it over with and I’d like it to be easy for both of us. Thank you for taking the time to care for me (be sure to show gratitude before, during and/or after) If you experience intense pain and find it hard to tolerate, request for ways to make it easier. If you are having trouble tolerating certain exams, tell them to keep it in mind so the procedure can be easier on both of you. I’m not saying you should go under deep sedation just to get teeth cleaned, especially if you don’t need it. Even if it temporarily lasts a second, a person's pain should be taken into account. Although benefits can outweigh much, it’s still a worry. ![]()

![]() Packing more elements into a given space increases the visual weight of the space. You can use additional characteristics to control visual weight. You don’t have to limit yourself to the primitive features above. Vertical objects appear heavier than horizontal objects. The irregularity gives the impression that mass has been removed from a regular shape. Objects with a regular shape appear heavier than objects with an irregular shape. Texture makes an element appear three-dimensional, which gives the appearance of mass and physical weight. Textured elements appear heavier than non-textured objects. Elements in the foreground carry more weight than elements in the background. The further from the center or dominant area of a composition, the greater the visual weight an element will carry. Red is considered the heaviest color and yellow the lightest.ĭark elements have more visual weight than light elements.Įlements located higher in the composition are perceived to weigh more than elements located lower in the composition. Warm colors advance into the foreground and tend to weigh more than cool colors, which recede into the background. Large elements have more visual weight than small elements. Let’s start with the primitive features that I mentioned in the last post: size, color, value, position, texture, shape and orientation. Below are some of the characteristics you can change on any element and a description of how changing them will either increase or decrease the element’s visual weight. It’s in the combination of features that your eye will help.įortunately, others have isolated and tested these characteristics. You can isolate each characteristic to know that something bigger weighs more than something smaller, for example. This doesn’t mean that you have to randomly try things and see what attracts your eye the most and the least. The areas of a composition that attract your eye are those that have greater visual weight. ![]() You use your experience and judgment to determine which elements have greater or lesser weight. There’s no way I know of to precisely measure the visual weight of a design element. To create elements of different visual weight, you would use different combinations of primitive features. Some combinations of features will attract the eye more than others. It’s not any one feature, but rather their combination that determines the visual weight of an element. The sum of these characteristics or primitive features is what determines an element’s visual weight. A large red object carries more visual weight than a small blue object. Red tends to attract the eye more than blue, and larger elements attract the eye more than smaller ones. In that post I mentioned how, through these features, you can show contrast and similarity between elements.įor example, contrasting elements by making one very big and the other very small makes it clear that the elements are different.Ĭontrolling the combination of these features is how you control visual weight. In the previous post in this series I talked about primitive features, or the intrinsic characteristics of an element, such as size, color and shape. ![]() The more an element attracts the eye, the greater its visual weight. Two-dimensional objects can attract attention. Visual weight is a measure of the force that an element exerts to attract the eye. Physical weight is a measure of the force that gravity exerts on an object, but two-dimensional objects (such as elements on a web page) don’t have mass and, therefore, don’t have any physical weight. “ Design Principles: Connecting and Separating Elements Through Contrast and Similarity”.“ Design Principles: Space and the Figure-Ground Relationship”.“ Design Principles: Visual Perception and the Principles of Gestalt”.You can find the first three posts in the series here: ![]() Note: This is the fourth post in a series on design principles. Both are important concepts to understand if you want to create hierarchy, flow, rhythm and balance in your composition. We refer to this force as visual weight and to the perceived direction of visual forces as visual direction. These forces also appear to act on other elements, imparting a visual direction to their potential movement and suggesting where you should look next. The greater the force, the more the eye is attracted. Every element on a web page exerts a visual force that attracts the eye of the viewer. ![]() ![]() ![]() of Peregrines and Prairie Falcons competing for prey and nest sites on a.

In an environment where goods are scarce, intermediaries can push up the prices to pocket the money. “I think they’re doing exactly what anyone else would if they were selling something too.” This is capitalism. “Are they taking advantage of the situation? Yeah,” Drury said with regard to dealers. But it’s hard not to recognize that in some corners, businesses and CEOs and salespeople are likely looking at the current economic landscape and thinking, “Eh, why not bump that price tag up a little more?” And who can blame them? That’s capitalism. I am not going to litigate whether profiteering - which is generally legal in the US - is driving up inflation. After all, corporate greed wasn’t invented in the pandemic. Other economists have dismissed this, saying it’s a flimsy excuse, and that other factors, among them supply chain problems, increased demand, and commodity prices, have much more of an impact. Some Democrats and economists argue that corporate greed is playing a role, basically saying that companies are taking advantage of the moment to boost their profits even when it’s not necessary, and contributing to higher inflation overall. “It comes down to if someone’s willing to pay it, and they can sell it and keep selling it, I think they’re going to ride that train as long as they can,” Iglar said.Īmid the current inflationary environment, there’s a broader debate going on about what’s causing prices to rise. How much are dealer markups contributing to this average price increase? The answer is certainly not all of it, or maybe even most of it. ( Used car prices are up a ton, too, but for this story, we’re focusing on new ones.) Going by the Consumer Price Index, which measures what consumers pay for goods and services, new vehicle prices are up 12.4 percent over the past year. “If there are five people raising their hand to buy the exact same product, you just go with whoever is bidding the highest.”Īccording to Kelley Blue Book, the average new car price in the United States was $46,085 in February, $5,000 more than it was a year ago. “At the end of the day, it’s saying, ‘Look, if you don’t buy this, the guy right behind you or the gal three people behind you is going to, and they’re going to pay me $1,000, $2,000 more than you’re willing to, so I have to go with them.’ It’s one of the first times in history where the dealer has so much demand that they can actually do that,” said Ivan Drury, senior manager of insights at Edmunds, a consumer research company.

Tens of thousands of dollars over the sticker is something of an outlier, but across the country, people on the hunt for a new vehicle are being met with significant dealer markups, thanks to supply shortages and high consumer demand. “I can’t justify spending that much over sticker.” Iglar emailed another dealer trying to get a sense of what their markups were, and a week later they responded they were adding on $15,000. “We were both shocked and politely declined, saying while we would like to have the car, we can’t justify over-spending for it,” he said. The dealership wanted to charge them $20,000 over the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (or MSRP). The salesman was “super nice” throughout most of the process, Iglar explained … until it came to the price. In the fall, he and his wife were in the market for an SUV and made an appointment at a Mercedes dealer in New Jersey.

![]() ![]() It offers the precision you demand to achieve exacting routing standards, along with the fast, easy performance you want in order to spend less time setting up and more time routing. Whether youre upgrading an existing router table, setting up a new one, or even building your own custom table, the Precision Router Lift is the perfect routing accessory. A built-in micro-adjust scale can be zeroed out at any point to establish your baseline bit setup, so you can make exact bit height changes, and readjust to the exact same setting confidently every time for repeat cuts. The Precision Router Lift is designed so that every full revolution of the adjusting crank moves the carriage"and your bit"exactly 116", though adjustments down to thousandths of an inch are possible. Precision is more than part of the name with this lift, too. The lift also simplifies changing bits by allowing you to do that from above the table, as well. This makes adjustment fast, simple, and accurate so you can set up your router faster, and then dial in the exact bit height you require using the Precision Router Lifts built-in micro-adjustment scale. Instead, simply use the lifts included crank to adjust the height of your router bit easily and precisely from above the table. With the Precision Router Lift, theres no more reaching under the table to make adjustments or change bits, plus vastly improved control over all adjustments, large or small. The lift replaces the standard insert plate in a router table (the 38" x 914" x 1134" plate fits all Kreg router tables plus many popular brands) and accepts any of 20+ popular router models"without the need adapters or modifications"in a high-performance carriage that you raise and lower from above the table. INCRA and JessEm Tool, the respected leader in Router Lift innovation, teamed up to bring you this INCRA JessEm Mast-R-Lift II. Out of the box, it is set up to accept the ubiquitous Porter-Cable 7518 router, but it can easily be reconfigured to fit 20 other popular models without extra adapters or modifications. ![]() Like our entire top-of-the-line aluminum router mounting plates, the V2 plate has eight easily accessible leveling screws, adjustable side plungers, solid brass starting pin and three Twist Lock rings.Take control of your table-mounted router for quick, accurate, reliable, and repeatable setups The Precision Router Lift helps you elevate your routing capabilities by providing precise control when making router setup changes or changing bits.
