An important moment in our movement (JoPM article): The evolving language of patient engagement
An article of importance to our movement appeared in June, in our Journal of Participatory Medicine. It's an analysis of twelve years of literature about patient engagement, documenting what words people used, what context they appeared in, and (perhaps most importantly) how the language has shifted – a sign of cultural evolution. Finally, the article proposes a framework for measuring how engagement is progressing on three levels.
The article is The Challenges of Conceptualizing Patient Engagement in Health Care: A Lexicographic Literature Review, by Barella et al, at Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Catholic University of the Sacred Heart), Milan. Its reading level and psychological vocabulary are beyond me personally, but I can understand enough to want more exploration (and more customer-friendly explanations!)
As far as I know, this is the first comprehensive study that looks at what people have been saying, and what they mean, when they're talking about patient engagement. That's important when you're trying to shift culture, as our Society is, because culture lives in language. If you want change but you don't know what people are saying, and what they mean, you can't possibly speak effectively and suggest that people think (and speak) differently.
Researcher seeks patient input: what should a stent decision aid include?
Preface by e-Patient Dave: We have often written here (see posts) about Shared Decision Making, in which patients are engaged in choosing among treatment options. A key method is to give patients a "decision aid" (DA) – a document or video that explains the options, with pro's and cons.
A vital question in the design of a DA is, which factors should patients be informed about? And who decides that? In this case a researcher is asking for patient opinions (!) on what should be included in a DA for stents. (See the National Institutes of Health introduction to stents.) SPM member Marilyn Mann (@MarilynMann) knows a lot about stents – this is her first post here.
Adnan Chhatriwalla, MD, is a cardiologist at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, and is co-investigator for DECIDE-PCI, a study designed to develop and test a decision aid (DA) for patients who have decided to have one or more stents inserted in their coronary arteries. (Note: this is not about whether to have a stent at all — that would be a separate decision.)
The DA would help these patients choose between the two types of stents — bare metal stents and drug-eluting stents.
Let's crowdsource what a "good" medical record tool for patients is (and list some products)
Ah, social media. On Facebook a couple of hours ago, Swedish SPM member Sara Riggare posted:
Responses were quick and robust:
- "Web MD has an app that you can download that I use. I find it pretty useful." - Mark Burek
- "That's a sticky question. I tried Caresync ([SPM member Amy McFall Gleason's app) and thought it useful. I think I'll check out the app Mark recommended." – SPM member Casey Quinlan
- "Have you tried Family Medical Manager?" – Pernilla Jackson
- "Although I'm not a user with active conditions to manage, I'm strongly drawn to Hello Doctor. I was an advisor for a short time but withdrew because I wanted to be able to talk about it, unencumbered. A big limiting factor is that it's iPad-iPhone only." – me
- "We should include the blog post by Society for Participatory Medicine president-elect Nick Dawson, "Evernote is my EMR." – me
In minutes the idea arose of starting a discussion here on the blog – a much better place than Facebook for a discussion you want to return to. Then this:
Amy, I'm thinking this could become a totally unguided exploratory spreadsheet (Google Doc), with features down the left side and products across the top. It may soon become too big to be usable so something fancier is needed, but we could start.
So here we are:
This is a spontaneous project to collect thoughts on two things:
- What good tools do we know of, to keep track of our own health information?
- And by the way, what do we mean by "good"?? What features do we (the patients, the users, the ultimate stakeholder) say we want?
We'll start with comments on this post. Game on!
By the way, we'll welcome non-hype contributions from makers of such products. Give a short description of the product and link to its site. Our goal is to inform e-patients and families about their options – and about what factors to consider.
Recently in JoPM: Jessie Gruman tribute, book review on asthma
We don't tell you often enough here of new pieces in JoPM, our Journal of Participatory Medicine. Of course you can subscribe to the journal on their site, but I hope to specifically point things out here. (See also our past posts in the JoPM category.) Here are two recent ones:
- A Tribute to Jessie Gruman, Founding JoPM Co-Editor by Charlie Smith – a brief tribute from our other founding editor, who worked closely with her and knew her well. (Our own post about her passing is here.)
- Book Review: A Cure for Asthma? What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You — And Why (June 26), by Shahank Kraleti MD and Diane Jarrett EdD (U of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock), on the decades of work by David Hahn, MD to get medicine to listen to the results he's had in curing asthma in many patients, through antibiotics. It's not a miracle cure of course; he asks medicine to listen, test his ideas, do more research. My view: e-patient families should certainly know about this option.
Two other posts are forthcoming this week about specific, important items in JoPM. Again, you can subscribe on the right side of the JoPM site, so you'll get notified promptly of all new releases, even if we're late in our reporting here.
Communicating the experience of illness in the digital age
At 9am on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014, Stanford Medicine X will host a discussion led by Pamela Ressler, Colleen Young, Meredith Gould and me about the power and pitfalls of people sharing their health experiences online.
We are "flipping" the panel by sharing resources and participating in online discussions throughout the summer, hoping to include as many people as possible in the process. You can check out our Storify, which lists our ongoing series of blog posts (this one is the second — Pam kicked it off on her blog last week.)
I thought I'd share some historical context. Because really, none of what we plan to discuss is new. It's ancient. People have always gathered together to share what they know about health and illness, hoping to help and learn from others. What's new is that we have the ability to expand our networks, inject more data and background resources into the conversation, and then archive them for later searching or other use.
Susannah Fox is leaving Pew Research
I know many of our readers already saw this, but, from her personal blog:
In one way, I'm sad to see that her work at Pew is over. In her 14 years there, time after time her work made clear what was actually happening as people use the internet in pursuing health. Time after time this popped a rumor balloon.
But though she's leaving Pew, her work continues: her post says she's writing a book (! … can't wait to read that), and she has a new part time gig at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. I can't imagine a better place – RWJF has been pivotal to our movement: they funded the e-Patient White Paper by our founder "Doc Tom" Ferguson, and they're all about creating a culture of health.
Susannah's 245 blog posts at e-patients.net are here, and her 14 years of work at Pew are here.
Guest post by Zack Berger, MD, PhD: The pledge of the patient-centered physician
This blog welcomes guest posts from SPM members on relevant topics. Zack Berger of Johns Hopkins (@ZackBergerMDPhD) is highly committed to participatory medicine, and as this post shows, his book Talking To Your Doctor gets right down into the how-to's. (More on this at end of post.)
This is his pledge as a patient-centered clinician. – e-Patient Dave
The pledge of the patient-centered physician
Medicine is a relationship between two people. I have my expectations, needs, and wants, and the patient has theirs.
However, the patient's needs, wants, and expectations are more important than my own. She is the center of her health.
I will always:
- Ask the patient what she wants, hopes, fears, believes to be true about her health.
- Ask the patient what she prefers.
- Tell the patient what options are available.
- If I am not able to do what the patient wants, explain why not.
- Ask the patient what her priorities are – whether in the moment, or in general.
I will never:
- Assume that the patient wants the same things I do.
- Blame the patient for their illness.
- Belittle the patient for powerlessness.
- Treat a patient worse than I would treat a family member.
- Check a box before I check with the patient.
How I arrived at the pledge:
Doctors are talking a lot these days about being "patient-centered," but most of it, especially at the institutional level, is feel-good boilerplate without much bite. Eventually we need to get to realizable behaviors that every practitioner is expected to adhere to. At this stage, we need to advance from general principles to more detailed statements. This is what I am trying to do here.
Zackary Berger, MD, PhD, is an internist and epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, with a joint appointment at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and Associate Faculty at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. He maintains an active practice as a primary care doctor and precepts in the residents' adult medicine clinic.
His research centers on the role of the primary care doctor in cancer care, particularly prostate cancer, and doctor-patient communication in general. He is particularly interested in how provider and patient can navigate through situations of medical uncertainty buttressed by an ongoing caring relationship. Berger's book, Talking To Your Doctor, came out in 2013, and his next book, Making Sense of Medicine, is due out in 2016.
Jessie Christine Gruman, 1953-2014
I'm saddened (really saddened, as I write this) to report that one of the titans of our movement, Jessie Gruman, died unexpectedly yesterday at home in New York. She had long been sick, but the demise was sudden.
In addition to the mountain of work she produced as founder of the Center for Advancing Health (CFAH), Jessie was one of the early forces in SPM: she was the founding co-editor-in-chief of our Journal of Participatory Medicine (JoPM). As many of you know, she was in her fourth cancer, all initiated by the megadoses of radiation she got as a teen for her lymphoma, before medicine knew it would later cause cancer after cancer in adulthood.
(Other well-known lymphoma e-patients in our community include Alicia Staley and Kym Martin, wife of "Gimme My DaM Data" songwriter Ross Martin).
SPM President Josh Seidman was one of the Ziff Patient Engagement Fellows sponsored by CFAH, so he was among the first to be notified. In an email last night he wrote to some of us,
Keeping Patients in the Dark: SIIPC14
Several SPM members were in attendance at the recent SIIPC14 conference at Dartmouth, where the ongoing work on healthcare system transformation has been the source of much great content on e-patients.net over the years.
Casey Quinlan – yes, yours truly – has put up a post on the Mighty Mouth blog that gives one woman's perspective on the conversation in the room and on Twitter during the conference, and in some precincts since.
The Doctor as Patient
Charlotte Yeh is the Chief Medical Officer of AARP Services, and has had a long career in government and as a practicing emergency physician. (Our paths first crossed years ago when we were both working on pre-hospital care reform in Massachusetts.) She wrote a piece published in the current issue of Health Affairs about her experience as a patient after being hit by a car while crossing the street in Washington, DC. Read it. After detailing her frustration with the clinicians in the acute setting more focused on protocols and diagnostic testing than on the patient before them, and her satisfaction with the clinicians in the rehabilitation setting who asked her to define her own goals, she concludes:
If I resolved anything on my care journey, it is that the "North Star" guiding all care must be providers using "any means possible," to know the patient, hear the patient, and respond to what matters to the patient. It should make no difference where you practice; any provider can do this. Emergency departments can't hide behind the excuses of "we're too busy" or "it's too chaotic" to avoid connecting with every patient.
It is time to frame a new paradigm of care, a consumer-driven approach that concentrates attention on the art of medicine. This might begin with a reinvigorated focus on patient-centered care and mastering the skills of listening, empathy, and patient partnership.
Strong words from a clinical leader, published in in a journal that is a key forum for health policy discussion. Here's hoping that she is able to engage others in this conversation in a meaningful way.

Thanko made an innovative product for Japanese traditional food, Onigiri (Rice Ball), as a follow-up to their USB warming bento box pouch released last month.
It's a small pouch that a convenience store rice ball will fit into and will make the rice ball warm by connecting to a USB port. The case itself can warm up to 60 degrees celsius, so the rice ball becomes warm enough for eating in 15-30 minutes.

Holiday Illumination 2014
Tokyo Midtown - Roppongi
From upscale shopping centers to out of the way local grocery stores and business of all sorts (even a few private homes here and there), Tokyo is currently enjoying a very tasteful veneer of light-based holiday spirit.
Tamiya Incorporated, a Japanese radio-controlled cars manufacturer, is going to release the electric radio-controlled car R/C Tractor Kumamon Version. It will be sold as a construction kit for ¥16,200 and as finished goods for ¥30,024.
R/C Tractor Kumamon Version has Kumamoto Prefecture-proud Kumamon in the driver's seat and pictures of tomatoes and a watermelon - specialty products of Kumamoto Prefecture - on its exterior.
The Action Camera market is quite the thing at the moment. Ever since Nick Woodman thought it would be a nice idea to capture action shots of his surfing trips and set about creating a little silver box that made him a Hero, companies of every size seem to be bending over backward to put out diminutive cameras that can both take a beating and deliver quality videos of crazy people doing crazy things.

I Love Riding in the City – Mohamed Shalaby
NAME: Mohamed Shalaby
LOCATION: Newark, NJ
OCCUPATION: Writer
Where do you live and what's it like riding in your city?
I live in Newark, New Jersey and I'm proud to call it home. A Jersey boy at heart I love riding around my city and taking in all of its sites and history. I find it cool to ride past locations that I have seen in various movies. For example Rounders staring Matt Damon and Find me Guilty staring Vin Diesel are two of my favorite movies that were filmed in areas that I ride past every day. Passing by such places often gets me thinking about all of the different possibilities that life has to offer. Anyway in terms of safety I find Newark to be quite safe because people generally respect bike riders and keep their distance when they spot a biker on the road. Besides everything else already mentioned the geography of the area offers a great variety of flat stretches of land, hills and parks that are lot of fun to ride
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
My favorite city to ride in is New York City. Whether cruising up or down one of its many bike lanes, streets, or avenues there is always something new to take in. Riding in NYC is like eating a really good piece of apple pie. You have to use all five of your senses or your surly to miss something special and fun. I especially love riding on the 12 plus mile bike lane/trail that starts on the Westside of downtown New York City and ends all the way up in the city of Inwood. Whether your young or old the buzz of the city and the good vibes of the people will motivate you to keep pedaling onwards no matter how tired you feel. Basically, I love NYC energy.
Why do you love riding in the city?
I love riding in the city because things are always moving and changing. Either your keeping up with things or your getting left behind. I live for the push and every time I ride I look forward to pushing myself harder than all the other elements racing against the wind.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city… Poetry anyone?
I rode last night on lighting and we rode yesterday morning on sunshine.
We still ride every second of every day don't we?
Like rays of light we traveled in time and met somewhere past the finish line.
Even though along the way somebody got a flat everything was ok.
Strangers helped one another that day and became friends forever plus one more day.
So this is the end, you get your bike and I'll get mine and I'll race you to the start of new beginnings.

WOHO Ghost Bike Grips and Handlebar Tape
WOHO has updated their lineup with two new ways to keep your hands on the bars. Both feature their latest graphics, which depict skulls and lightning bolts. Very metal, indeed.
The grips will be pretty familiar to anyone who's used lock-on grips in the past. They've got aluminum clamps, 3 mm hex screws and a hard plastic core. The grip portion is thick and soft, with deep indentations around the graphics, making them very grippy. They're comfortable, though some people with smaller hands may find that they prefer a thinner grip. I'm surprised WOHO missed the opportunity to brand the bar plugs with a logo, though. Measurements are 5.18″ x 1.3″ x 1.3″, they come in red, blue, black or white, and they retail for $16.49.
The EVA foam bar tape is also pretty standard, but it's nice, thick and of course features an adhesive backing. In addition to pink monogrammed bar plugs and vinyl tape to finish the wrap, they include two extra strips for behind the brake lever clamps. The graphics are printed, so expect them to wear away with use. The tape measures 190 X 3 cm and retails for $15.49.

Pedicab Drivers Dwindling in NYC
Aaah New York…always trying to find a way to get over on the tourists.
According to this summary by AnimalNYC, a number of pedicabs drivers were price gouging riders, culminating in one ride costing $500. In response, NYC stepped up regulations on pedicab drivers, creating something of a disincentive to get in the business or stay in the business. Let's hope this is just a weeding out process and ownership / ridership rebounds.
As AnimalNYC detailed:
Since the city has tightened regulations and cracked down on pedicab drivers, the number of pedaling transit providers has taken a steep dive. Only 903 drivers decided to renew their license this year. That's down from 1217 at the beginning of 2014.
After an incident in which some tourists were charged $500 for a short pedicab ride, there has been increased scrutiny on the service: Regulations were put in place requiring drivers to charge by the minute, post visible prices, and use timers approved by the city.
Road Rage Psychology
I've always felt the argument that one rule-breaking cyclist ("You ran a red light?! Now we're all gonna die!!") is what compels drivers to hate all our collective guts, is very weak. Human nature is far more complex and subconscious than this, as is argued by BBC writer, Tom Stafford, as he pulls from evolutionary theory and social psychology to give a more thorough explanation of this road rage phenomenon. He explains,
…It's not because cyclists are annoying. It isn't even because we have a selective memory for that one stand-out annoying cyclist over the hundreds of boring, non-annoying ones (although that probably is a factor). No, my theory is that motorists hate cyclists because they think they offend the moral order…
… Humans seem to have evolved one way of enforcing order onto potentially chaotic social arrangements. This is known as "altruistic punishment", a term used by Ernst Fehr and Simon Gachter in a landmark paper published in 2002. An altruistic punishment is a punishment that costs you as an individual, but doesn't bring any direct benefit. As an example, imagine I'm at a football match and I see someone climb in without buying a ticket. I could sit and enjoy the game (at no cost to myself), or I could try to find security to have the guy thrown out (at the cost of missing some of the game). That would be altruistic punishment.
I don't think there is much of a cooperative answer to this problem of cyclists avoiding generally accepted traffic laws, in part as a way of protecting ourselves, but maybe this theory can help you shrug off the haters as you circumvent the moral social order next time the light turns red on you.
Newton Bike Shop Hostel

The Newton Bike Shop & Hostel is located along the Trans Am Bicycle Trail, so it was a logical move to add a hostel to their services, but this would be a great idea for any shop with extra space to utilize. Cyclists could stay in a casual bike-centric environment even just during short weekend trips or vacations. Skip to 1:30 for the information on the hostel aspect of Newton's Bike Shop.

Bike Mechanic
Velopress recently released a new book giving you a behind the scenes look from those who keep the peleton's bikes rolling smoothly…the mechanics. With photos and interviews, Bike Mechanic gives us detailed stories from the UCI World Tour along with practical tips and tricks to use on our own rides.
Crisp photography makes Bike Mechanic a tool-lover's dream, with drool-worthy images of the machinery and equipment that keep bicycles running smoothly. Mechanics reveal their favorite workflow during races like Paris-Roubaix and the Tour de France, open up their toolboxes and workshops, and show off the techniques for bike tuning that they've honed during years of practicing the craft.
Bike Mechanic is available for $24.95 through Velopress.
Travel With Care PSA
Those good friends at People For Bikes have just released a nationwide PSA campaign called, Travel With Care, showing cyclists as everyday people, wearing occupational gear instead of lycra and helmets. As they explain,
Travel With Care inspires the general public to see every bike rider as a neighbor, friend or family member—just a normal person who chooses to bike. In addition to humanizing bicyclists, the campaign's message is built around bettering behavior by both people in cars and on bikes by asking them to travel with care and to "melt icy relations on the road."
The campaign consists of billboards, print materials and placements on buses and street furniture. The campaign spawned from a similar PSA initiated in our Urban Velo hometown of Pittsburgh PA.
Solar Bike Paths Are Here (or there)
Pardon the annoying video, but the description of what a solar roadway is, how it works, and it's larger social potential is well described. Fittingly, one of the first solar roadways just went down in the Netherlands, as a 70 meter bike path. Yes, bikes leading the way, of course. It's an expensive technology, but if the funding can be found, the returns down the line will continue to expand practical usage on a larger scale. This article at Collective Evolution gives a good summary of the first solar roadway now in use.

I Love Riding in the City – Thomas Connolley
Name: Thomas Connolley
Location: Wantage, England
Occupation: Scientist
Where do you live and what's it like riding in your city?
I live in Wantage, a small town about 13 miles south of Oxford, England.
Wantage is compact and most places I need to go, apart from work, are within a 10 minute walk or bike ride. There is one bicycle shop, several reasonable cafés and there are good mountain biking and road biking routes. Wantage is close to the Ridgeway National Trail, which is open to cyclists and follows a route that has been used by humans for thousands of years. The town also has a branch of the Cyclists' Touring Club (CTC) who organise various rides and tours.
I mainly use my bike to commute to work, 8 miles away. I have a choice of routes, either a busy main road, or a beautiful cross-country route using back roads and tracks. I'll take the main road if it is icy or in really wet weather. The back country route can get very muddy. It's not a route for a road bike, and I think it's important for cyclists to assert their right to be on the main roads as well. There's an active bicycle users group on the site where I work who campaign for cyclists' rights and better infrastructure. There are several towns and large employment sites in the area which are within a half hour ride of each other, if only the infrastructure was better. Most people commute by car.
What was your favorite city to ride in, and why?
Probably Canberra, the capital of Australia. It is well planned, with good cycling routes to get around town and good places to ride at the weekend, for both roadies and mountain bikers.
The one drawback are the swooping magpies! Some male birds get very territorial and aggressive in the spring, and will swoop on pedestrians and cyclists. Aussie readers will know what I mean!
Why do you love riding in the city?
Bicycles are like the fairytale "seven league boots". You can get so much further for no more effort than walking. I've always used a bike as a means of transport, for getting to work, running errands or just going for a ride. I love moving through places and landscapes at bike pace. Unlike a car or bus, there are no barriers between you and the world. Even the fickle English weather feels good! I've got a fairly demanding job and the half hour rides morning and evening are such a good way to relax and balance the mind and body. If I've been working on a technical problem during the day, the answer will often come to me on the ride home.
Or just say whatever you want about riding in the city… Poetry anyone?
Ride clean. The only thing you need to be "on" is your bike.

Police: Suspect shoots 2 officers, then kills self
A suspect is dead after allegedly opening fire on police, wounding two officers.
WAFB TV reports the suspect had active arrest warrants from two agencies in Livingston Parish and East Baton Rouge Parish deputies also wanted him for questioning.
Officers got a tip the man was at a Baton Rouge hotel around 1 a.m. Thursday.
When officers knocked on the man's door, they say the suspect opened fire.
Authorities say a state trooper was shot twice and his injuries are not considered to be serious. A sheriff's deputy suffered a superficial wound.
A SWAT team entered the room and found suspect dead. Police believe the man killed himself.
The names of the injured officers were not immediately released. Police have not yet released the name of the suspect.

Welcome to the New Cultural Coast of Thessaloniki
In the last decade, many architectural projects have come to fruition in Thessaloniki, Greece. One that particularly stands out, and has a special place in many young people's hearts, is the regeneration of the central pier of the city's port.
This project started in 1997 within the framework of the "European Capital of Culture" program for the city of Thessaloniki. The first part of the project included the restoration of the historic buildings of pier A, which used to act as the harbor's warehouses.
Today, one might find the following structures gracing the city's pier:
- The Museum of Photography;
- The Cinema Museum;
- The Contemporary Art Centre (as part of the State Museum of Contemporary Art);
- Buildings used for screenings during the Film Festival of Thessaloniki;
- And cafés and restaurants with a striking view of the sea and the city.
The second part of the project was undertaken by the architect K. Oudatzi in 2010 and was completed by March 2012. The main objective was to transform the empty spaces of pier A into a vibrant public space that highlights the key elements, such as the restored buildings of the historic site.
Something that I deem extremely significant is the fact that although the architect had chosen a modern design for the tracing of the pedestrian paths, the seating areas, and the urban equipment, she also decided to incorporate the original blocks of the pier. Therefore, a mild landscape restoration along with a smooth integration of new structures was achieved, without tampering too much with the area's historic identity.
The pier's benches are also something that seem to appeal to a younger demographic. These have a very simple but particularly elegant design, and are also really comfortable. Another thing one might notice walking around is the olive trees – the trademark trees of Greece – which can be found planted across the area, and also the combination of the "wall washing" lights, which help you navigate around, and the more dramatic, almost "theatrical" ones, which turn focus to the historic buildings.
Every day the pier is filled with people of all ages and backgrounds enjoying the sun by the sea. Is there a place like that in your city?

Prudent Technologies, Inc. protests the award of a contract to Tidewater, Inc. by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) pursuant to request for proposals (RFP) No. R-ATL-01810, issued to procure lead evaluation services for single-family properties owned by HUD and located within specified geographic regions; the award at issue here is for lead evaluation services within HUD's Denver region.

Theory of Silk Weaving a Treatise on the Construction and Application of Weaves, and the Decomposition and Calculation of Broad and Narrow, Plain, Nov
Excerpt: ...To obtain it in drams, divide the latter number by 17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers. Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of ... Show synopsis Excerpt: ...To obtain it in drams, divide the latter number by 17,3 as 1 dram is equal to 17,3 deniers. Suppose we find 20 cocoon ends in a thread of silk: add 1/3, and we have 26-2/3 deniers, which, divided by 17,3 make 1,54 drams. As silk is always more or less uneven, it is safer to count the cocoon fibers of several threads and to take average thereof. It requires the experience of years to judge with any degree of certainty as to the origin and quality of silk, whether it be "classical," "extra," "sublime," etc. There are machines wherewith to ascertain exactly the twist, that is, the number of turns the silk has received in the throwing process. In the dyeing we distinguish two great classes, of which the names themselves give a good definition. "Bright" has a brilliant luster, while "souple" has more of a dull, subdued appearance. To find out whether the silk has been weighted in the dyeing process, we may compare it with other silk of which the exact conditions are known, or we may burn a small quantity of it. Unweighted silk does not burn readily and leaves a residue of white ashes, while heavy weighted silk burns lively, leaving black, charry ashes. pg 70 4. REED CALCULATION We count the number of repeats of the weave in a given space, generally 1/4 or 1/2 inch, and multiply this with the number of threads one repeat contains, which gives us the reduction of the warp. Suppose we had a taffeta, which, as we know, has only 2 ends to a repeat, and counted 30 interlacings per 1/4 inch on one pick; we would have 60 threads per 1/4 inch or 240 per one inch. In this case the reed may be 80 by 3 or 60 by 4. Another instance: In an 8-shaft satin we count 10 warp-threads, which bind on the same pick in 1/4 inch; this, multiplied by 8, equals 80 ends per 1/4, or 320 per one inch; the reed will be an 80 with 4 in a dent or a 64 by 5. In short, the number of the reed is found by dividing the number of warp-threads that are to go in one dent, in the number of
