Determinants and underlying causes of frequent attendance in midwife-led care: an exploratory cross-sectional study
BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth volume 19, Article number: 203 (2019)
An adequate number of prenatal consultations is beneficial to the health of the mother and fetus. Guidelines recommend an average of 5–14 consultations. Daily practice, however, shows that some women attend the midwifery practice more frequently. This study examined factors associated with frequent attendance in midwifery-led care.
We conducted a cross-sectional study in a large midwifery practice in the Netherlands among low-risk women who started prenatal care in 2015 and 2016. Based on Andersen’s behavioral model, we collected data on potential determinants from the digital midwifery’s practice database. Prenatal healthcare utilization was measured by a revised version of the Kotelchuck Index, which measures a combination of care entry and numbers of visits. Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the likelihood of frequent attendance compared to the recommended number of visits, adjusted for all relevant factors. Separate models were fitted on the non-referred and the referred group of obstetric-led care, as referral was found to be an effect modifier.
The prevalence of frequent attendance was 23% (243/1053), mainly caused by worries and/or vague complaints (44%; 106/243). Among non-referred women, 53% (560/1053), frequent attendance was associated with consultation with an obstetrician (OR = 3.99 (2.35–6.77)) and exposure to sexual violence (OR = 2.17 (1.11–4.24)). Among the referred participants, 47% (493/1053), frequent attendance was associated with a consultation with an obstetrician (OR = 2.75 (1.66–4.57)), psychosocial problems in the past or present (OR = 1.85 (1.02–3.35) or OR = 2.99 (1.43–6.25)), overweight (OR = 1.88 (1.09–3.24)), and deprived area (OR = 0.50 (0.27–0.92)).
Our exploratory study indicates that the determinants of frequent attendance in midwifery-led care differs between non-referred and referred women. Underlying causes for frequent attendance was mainly because of non-medical reasons. Implication for practice: A trustful midwife-client relationship is known to be needed for clients such as frequent attenders to share more detailed, personal stories in case of vague complaints or worries, which is necessary to identify their implicit needs.
In 2016 the World Health Organisation advised at least eight prenatal visits during pregnancy to decrease perinatal mortality and to increase positive experiences of pregnant women . The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) advises three additional visits for nulliparous women . Despite these recommendations, the number of face-to-face visits varies between five and fourteen worldwide [1,2,3,4]. The current prenatal care schedule of low-risk pregnant women in the Netherlands comprises an average of 14 visits in pregnancy, the highest number of visits for low-risk women worldwide . In addition, the Royal Dutch Organisation of Midwives (KNOV – Koninklijke Nederlandse Organisatie van Verloskundigen) recommends adjusting the number of prenatal visits to the medical care, needs, and preferences of the woman. More visits could be initiated by the care provider as well as by the caretaker [5,6,7].
Frequent attendance, defined as patients receiving significantly more visits than recommended, has hardly been studied in midwifery-led care whereas it is a recognized problem in general practice and hospitals. For instance, 10% of patients account for approximately 40% of encounters to general practices [8, 9]. Frequent attendance has been associated with psychosocial problems such as anxiety, high perceived stress, low self-esteem and poor self-regulation [8, 9]. Women are more often frequent attenders than men . Feijen-de Jong et al. investigated prenatal health care utilization in primary midwifery care in a multicentre prospective dynamic cohort study in the Netherlands and showed that 66% of the participants had received the recommended number of visits, 21% fewer, and 13% more . A Swedish study showed that 25% received the recommended number of visits, 17% fewer and 57% more .
Previous studies have found a positive association between frequent attendance and preterm birth, low birth-weight, perinatal mortality, lower Apgar scores, induction of labour and caesarean section [11,12,13,14]. Due to the increasing number of women seem to be having more visits than recommended, resulting in increased workload of midwives and their clinics without apparent improvement of outcomes, it is essential to understand why some women require more visits than others; understanding this phenomenon can contribute to the improvement of the healthcare organization, planning and execution of care and most importantly, might improve perinatal outcomes. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the prevalence, determinants, and underlying causes of frequent attendance in midwife-led care, and whether these differ from those who are referred to an obstetrician. We used Andersen’s behavioral model of healthcare use as a guiding framework to categorize the determinants of health care utilization. This model suggests that the use of health care depends on predisposing, enabling, need and health behavior factors .
Dutch healthcare system
The care for pregnant women in the Netherlands is organized as follows: low-risk pregnant women receive prenatal, natal and postnatal care from a midwife, high-risk women receive care from an obstetrician while women with intermediate risk received joint care. In case of a change in the medical condition of a low-risk woman, an obstetrician is consulted and in case of a determined medical condition, the woman is referred to an obstetrician, who will provide care during the remaining pregnancy period and birth. Otherwise, the woman is referred back to the midwife.
Women with psychological problems are often referred to the Psychiatrist-Obstetrician-Pediatrician-clinic, an outpatient setting where pregnant women are evaluated by obstetricians, pediatricians, and psychologists and receive advice from this multi-disciplinary team. For the clarity of this paper, the word ‘visit’ is used related to midwifery-led care, the word ‘consultation’ is used related to consultation of an obstetricians and other specialists in hospitals.
This exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted in a large midwifery practice, located in a medium-sized city near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The practice was organized in two teams, each consisting of four midwives. On the 25th of January 2018, the Medical Ethics Committee of the VU University Medical Center (ref. 2018.019) approved this study to collect and analyse retrospective data of January 2015 to January 2017. Women gave permission to use their anonymous data, their verbal consent was obtained during the intake and noted in their files while they watched; the beforementioned Medical Ethics Committee approved this procedure of obtaining consent.
Participants and measurement tool
Eligible participants were pregnant women at the specified midwifery practice during the study period with an ongoing pregnancy. Women with a miscarriage and women who only received postnatal care were excluded. Included participants were classified based on the level of health care utilization according to the Kotelchuck Index-Revised, see Appendix [3, 12].
In brief, the Kotelchuck Index-Revised, a validated tool for measuring the level of care utilization, is based on the number of face-to-face visits with the midwife, adjusted for gestation and onset of care and aligned with the number of recommended face-to-face prenatal visits by the KNOV. Utilization of care was defined as inadequate (less than 50% of the recommended visits), intermediate (50–79%), adequate (80–109%) and adequate plus (110% or more) [3, 12]. In this study, women with adequate plus utilization of care were considered to be frequent attendance (cases) and were compared to women with the adequate utilization of care (controls). Women with the intermediate or inadequate utilization of prenatal care were excluded from the study because these groups were irrelevant in view of the goal of our study.
The digital midwifery database was searched to identify eligible participants. Two researchers (JG and BW) extracted data from the database, which were anonymized and de-identified. In this database, the medical charts of all pregnant women guided by this midwifery practice are included. The chart includes medical care records of pregnancies, demographic characteristics, lifestyle and medical information of the pregnant woman. Possible reasons for frequent attendance were identified based on the additional information in the charts of frequent attenders documented by the midwife.
Based on the Andersen’s model, several variables concerning predisposing, enabling, need and health behavior factors were considered as potential determinants of frequent attendance [3, 15]. In this study, Predisposing variables consisted of sociodemographic factors such as age, ethnicity (Dutch, western non-Dutch, non-western non-Dutch), marital status (relationship yes/no), occupation (yes/no), and level of education. The level of education was subdivided into low (primary school and some vocational training), intermediate (secondary school and completed vocational training), and high (college and/or university). Enabling variables included deprivation (yes/no), year of the start of prenatal care (2015/2016), and team (team 1 or team 2); both teams consisted of four midwives. Needs variables consisted of perceived and evaluated needs. Perceived needs in this study were telephone consultations initiated by clients (numbers), psychosocial problems (no/yes in the past, yes at present), and sexual violence (no/yes). Evaluated needs included parity (nulliparous or multiparous), the start of pregnancy (spontaneous or assisted), duration of getting pregnant (in months), reasons for frequent attendance, attendance to health care professionals other than the midwife, the number of ultrasound examinations, and prescribed drugs. Reasons for frequent attendance were defined based on the information in clients’ dossiers. Consultation of other healthcare professionals was subdivided in visits with a general practitioner, a medical specialist e.g. an obstetrician or an internist, or a visit to the Psychiatrist-Obstetrician-Pediatrician-clinic (POP). Health behavior variables consisted of smoking (no/yes), alcohol consumption (no/yes), intake of folic acid (no/yes), and body mass index before pregnancy (BMI). We classified BMI according to the World Health Organization Classification of adults: underweight and normal weight, overweight, and obesity .
Descriptive analysis included contingency tables to summarize the study population. Categorical data were reported as absolute numbers and percentages. Normally distributed continuous variables were reported as means with standard deviations and non-normally distributed continuous variables as medians with interquartile ranges.
Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted effects of frequent attendance associated with the variables described above. Variables with a prevalence of less than 5% were excluded from the regression analysis. The team was included in the models as a fixed effect because the two teams provided care to an equal number of participants. Age was re-coded to be centered around the mean to have a meaningful baseline. Backward elimination was performed to obtain the leanest model possible, where each time, the variable with the largest p-value was removed from the model until all variables were significant (p < .05). The model assumptions were checked and the final model was assessed on overall performance (Nagelkerke’s R2) and discrimination (specificity, sensitivity, and overall accuracy).
Referral to obstetrician was considered an effect modifier of prenatal healthcare utilization.3 Therefore, additional analyses were performed comparing referred and non-referred pregnant women with χ2 tests for categorical variables and separate logistic models were fitted on the subsets of non-referred and referred participants. All analyses were executed using SPSS (version 24).
Between January 2015 and January 2017, 1497 women received prenatal and/or postnatal care by the midwifery practice. The flow chart of the eligible study population is shown in Fig. 1. The final study population consisted of 1053 women: 810 (77%) received adequate healthcare, and 243 (23%) received adequate plus health care (frequent attendance).
Results of the complete study group
The characteristics of the study population are shown in Table 1, column 2. The prevalence of frequent attendance in 2015 and 2016 were 19 and 24%, respectively. In our cohort, the average age was 29.2 years, 48% of the women were primipara was 48, and 53% had a non-Dutch background. Of all women, 96 (9%) participants reported to use prescribed drugs, mainly Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and thyroid medication.
The underlying reasons for more than the recommended visits in the midwifery practice in the 243 frequent attenders, independent of referral, are shown in Table 2. The most reported reasons were being worried/having vague complaints (44%), followed by abdominal pain (15%), medical problems (13%), psychosocial problems, e.g. behavioral, emotional and/or relational problems (12%) and experiencing high pregnancy burden (8%).
Table 3 shows reasons for consultation with an obstetrician and reasons for referral to an obstetrician. More than half of the study population, 572/1053 (55%), had at least one consultation with an obstetrician, ranging from one to seven; the mean of the number of consultations for frequent attenders and adequate users was 2.7 (SD 2.97) and 1.9 (SD 4.83), respectively. Of the whole study population, 493/1053 (47%) were referred to an obstetrician. Half of the women referred, 252/493 (51%) had at least one prior consultation with an obstetrician. Frequent attenders were more likely to be referred compared to adequate users (respectively 54.7 and 44.4%; p = 0.005). Women of non-western non-Dutch origin were more likely to be referred compared to women of Dutch or women of western non-Dutch origin (respectively 51.6, 44.8, and 31.8%; p = 0.002). Women living in a deprived area were more likely to be referred, compared to women not living in a deprived area (respectively 55.8 and 44.6%; p = 0.003).
The final logistic regression model on the entire study population included enabling, need, and health behaviors variables, but no predisposing variables. Women who started their prenatal care in 2016, with an assisted start of pregnancy, a consultation with an obstetrician, a history of sexual violence, more than average ultrasounds, and were overweight had higher odds of frequent attendance, whereas women living in a deprived area had lower odds of frequent attendance (Table 4).
Analyses showed referral to an obstetrician as an effect modifier, therefore, we split the results by referral (Table 4).
Results of non-referred pregnant women
The characteristics of the non-referred population (frequent attenders and adequate users) are shown in Table 1, columns 3 and 4.
The final logistic regression model on the subset of non-referred participants included only need variables: consultation with an obstetrician and a history of sexual violence. Women with one or more consultations with an obstetrician and women with a history of sexual violence had higher odds of frequent attendance (Table 4, columns 4 and 5).
Results of referred pregnant women
The characteristics of the referred population (frequent attenders and adequate users) are shown in Table 1, columns 5 and 6.
The final logistic regression model on the subset of referred participants included enabling, need, and health behavior variables: deprived area, year, consultation with an obstetrician, psychosocial problems, number of ultrasounds, and BMI (Table 4, columns 6 and 7). Women living in a deprived area had lower odds of frequent attendance, whereas women who started prenatal care in 2016, with one or more consultations with an obstetrician, psychosocial problems in the past or present, who had more than average ultrasounds, and were overweight had higher odds of frequent attendance.
We assessed the prevalence, determinants and underlying causes of frequent attenders of prenatal care by referred and non-referred women in a large Dutch midwifery practice. This exploratory study showed that almost one in four pregnant women received adequate plus care and were considered frequent attenders. The strongest associations of frequent attendance in both the non-referred and the referred participants were consultation with an obstetrician. In the non-referred group a history of sexual violence, and in the referred group psychosocial problems showed the strongest associations. The underlying causes of frequent attendance were mainly due to worries and/or vague complaints and abdominal pain.
In our study, 23% of the study population meet the criteria and were considered frequent attendees and accounted for a significant number of prenatal visits. Our findings are in line with a large retrospective study in the United States that reported a frequent attendance rate of 30% among low-risk pregnant women . Contrary, a Dutch national study reported a prevalence of frequent attendance of 13% between 2009 and 2011 in primary midwifery care . The higher frequent attendance rate in the current study could be explained by several interventions that were introduced since 2011 to improve perinatal care. These interventions were introduced because of a relatively high perinatal mortality rate in the Netherlands compared to other European countries and were aimed at increasing awareness for psychosocial problems, e.g. implementation of the Psychiatrist-Obstetrician-Pediatrician -consultations, and mainly targeted at women living in deprived areas and women with a non-western non-Dutch background [18,19,20].
A majority of frequent attenders had complaints related to psycho-social problems, a broader definition including everything that affects the functioning of woman’s daily life such as worries or having vague complaints , one of the perceived needs according to Andersen’s model; medical reasons were less identified. This observation is in accordance with previous studies in general practice [8, 22]. Pregnancy-related anxiety, defined as worries and fears related to the health of the child, giving birth, parenting and/or caring for the child, is an important psychological factor [23, 24]. Most pregnant women report pregnancy-related anxiety, which may be in the continuum of normality since it is an indicator of an important motherhood task of protecting and caring for the unborn baby . Nevertheless, higher levels of pregnancy-related anxiety is a known risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes [25,26,27,28]. Preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal mortality, and lower Apgar scores are also related to frequent attendance [11,12,13].
Even though medical reasons were less reported as an underlying cause, frequent attenders did often have consultations with an obstetrician, one of the evaluated needs according to Andersen’s model. These consultations were mainly because of medical reasons such as decrease in fetal growth, less fetal movements, and blood loss. The beforementioned symptoms are related to fetal distress and obstetricians could more carefully monitor the condition of the fetus for the best possible outcomes.
Finally, we found a strong association between frequent attendance and a history of sexual violence, one of the perceived needs according to Andersen’s model. Sexual and domestic violence is an important problem worldwide. The prevalence of sexual violence under the age of 18 is over 20%, with even a higher prevalence across all ages [29, 30]. The reported prevalence of sexual violence during pregnancy is 17% while only a third of the women disclose the sexual violence to their caregiver [31, 32]. Compared to women without a history of sexual violence, women exposed to sexual violence are more likely to fear child birthing, have negative birth experiences and adverse perinatal outcomes [31, 33]. Building trusting relationships with women is of importance to improve care and to facilitate births in a sensitive way so that re-enactment of abuse will be minimized . In 2017, the #metoo movement started a public confession about the sexual violence of famous and non-famous women. As a subsequent result, a public debate on this subject started in many countries. The #MeToo movement is of great importance to provide a safe and supportive environment where sexual violence could be openly discussed, including in maternity/prenatal care. As only about a third of pregnant women reveal sexual violence to their caregiver, we expect an underreporting of women who experienced sexual violence. Therefore this subject should be discussed on a regular basis throughout the pregnancy. We also recommend being alert to physical complaints such as chronic pelvic pain, as these could indicate a history of sexual violence .
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the phenomenon of frequent attendance in primary midwifery care. The dataset was robust with detailed and unique information; de-identified and anonymized data were extracted from the digital midwifery database including medical charts, containing information concerning sexual violence and psychosocial problems. These facts are not available in national registrations of birth outcomes. The study cohort was similar to the Dutch national pregnant population women with respect to average age (29.2 years versus 31.1 years), and proportion of primipara (29.2 years versus 31.1 years) . However, the proportion of non-Dutch women in our study was significantly higher (53% versus 26%); this could explain the higher prevalence of referral compared to the national pregnant population (47 and 35%) . Furthermore, our sample size was large enough to examine the distinction between referred and non-referred pregnant women and showed that these two groups had different medical and non-medical problems that needed more care provided by the midwives.
The performance statistics of the regression model on the subset of referred participants indicate that this model could explain well the occurrence of frequent attendance and that the results could be generalized to the underlying population of pregnant women in prenatal care. In contrast, the performance statistics of the regression models on the entire study population and the subset of non-referred participants indicated that these models could not completely explain the occurrence of frequent attendance and could not be generalized to the underlying population of pregnant women in prenatal care. Different models might be obtained with a larger and different study population, adjusting for several relevant factors that were not included in this study [35, 36]; e.g. mental health was not included in our study, whereas women with a mental disability have more prenatal visits compared to women without .
Our research recommendation is to repeat this study in a larger database that includes multiple practices to make the results more generalizable. In addition, we recommend exploring, through qualitative research, women’s underlying reasons and perceptions regarding the use of prenatal health care. This would add information for policymakers in order to adjust prenatal guidelines to the needs of pregnant women.
In our exploratory study of low-risk women, frequent attendance was observed in almost one in four pregnant women mainly because of non-medical reasons. Associations with frequent attendance differ between non-referred and referred pregnant women. Non-referred frequent attenders had relatively more a history of sexual violence, whereas referred frequent attenders had relatively more often psychosocial problems.
Implications for practice
To provide the best possible care, a trustful midwife-woman relationship is needed for women to share more details in case of vague complaints or worries to identify their implicit needs. Furthermore, the presence of sexual violence should be explored at least twice during pregnancy, because only a third of women disclose a history of sexual violence during pregnancy. Such information can be used by midwives to attune the prenatal care to the woman’s specific needs. This implies that (student-)midwives have to learn to be flexible with the guidelines about the prenatal visits schedule and have to decide together with every individual pregnant woman when and how prenatal care is provided.

Kotelchuck Index-Revised. Index for assessment of the adequacy of prenatal care utilization in the Dutch primary midwifery care context.
This index, based on the Kotelchuck Index, is a validated tool for measuring the level of care utilization, is based on the number of face-to-face visits with the midwife, adjusted for gestation and onset of care and aligned with the number of recommended face-to-face prenatal visits by the KNOV. Utilization of care was defined as inadequate (less than 50% of the recommended visits), intermediate (50–79%), adequate (80–109%) and adequate plus (110% or more).

A beautiful country property that is located on a noisy county road. Pat and Peter were interested in a landscape that would somehow help with that problem. In the front of the property we planted a dense selection of evergreens, trees, shrubs and grasses. Along the side of the house we installed a pond with two waterfalls that provides enough sound to help muffle the traffic noise. Rock gardens were built around the waterfall to give a more naturalistic appearance and these were planted with dwarf evergreens and shrubs. These raised beds also give excellent viewing of the rock garden and alpine plants that are planted there.

When my mother couldn’t help me heal from abuse, she sought help. She looked for a woman who could see my pain and reach into my heart and help me heal. For the love of her child, my mother humbled herself and let another mother, mother me. This woman became my Godmother. That’s the name I gave her because I knew God sent her to help save me. She poured out her patience, her talents, and her love and continues to this day.
God sends us women to love on us in remarkable ways. Sometimes these women are our own mothers, aunts, or grandmothers; yet, other times these women are sisters, friends, mentors, or women of wisdom. Whatever their title is in your life, they are God-sent. “What was your mother? A lioness! Among lions she couched, among young lions she reared her cubs.” Ezekiel 19:2
True motherhood requires strength beyond what we think possible, patience beyond what we have, and love beyond measure. Sometimes this mothering comes from our own moms, and other times from those the Lord sends; regardless, know that loving on one another is what Jesus calls us to do. I have had the honor of having many moms. Each one bringing knowledge, wisdom, and love so unique that my life couldn’t be as blessed as it is without each and every one of them. As I reflect on this past Mother’s Day I want to thank all those women who mothered this mother until I became the mom I am today.
Finally, I want to thank the two amazing women, my daughters, who have loved me each and every day. All the blue days, exhausted days, and overwhelmed days were made bearable because of your smiles and hugs. Thank you for loving on me.
MacKenzie and Alexandra you two are my heart, my blessing, and my greatest gifts from God. I LOVE being YOUR mom!
Have you had “other mothers?” Have you been the “other mother” to someone who needed your help and love?

Social media is supposed to be all about connections. So what happens when those connections fray?
Most of my online connections started organically enough – the first people I ‘friended’ on Facebook were real-life friends, relatives and online friends whose relationships had been cultivated during years of getting to know each other through our blogs.
Next came the coworkers, the old high-school and university buddies, the long-lost roommates we spent hours discovering in the wormhole that is another person’s friends list.
And then came Twitter, where my collection inflated; our personal boundaries for claiming knowledge of one another expanding exponentially to anybody that engaged online; anybody that followed me first; anybody that wanted in.
Sometimes, I would (and still do) get a scary, first-day-of-school kind of feeling about interactions on social media. Do I know you well enough to friend request you? Should I follow or are we not there yet? Are your rules the same as mine? Am I overstepping or do I just not see the welcome mat laid at my feet?
Eventually I began to impose arbitrary systems for keeping track of my social media connections: if LinkedIn was my Rolodex, Facebook would be my address book and Twitter would be my catchall. I would engage with the appropriate level of privacy vs. information sharing, deciding who would be interested in, and with whom I would feel most comfortable, sharing personal photos; who would benefit most from my off-the-cuff witticisms; who would most appreciate carefully vetted news items and of course, with whom I could most expertly and benevolently share my professional work and build my profile as a writer.
But this is a system that is difficult to sustain. If Twitter is supposed to be a place where literally anybody can talk with anybody else, at what point do I move somebody out of the, ‘we have knowledge of each other online’ category to the, ‘Following’ category? If I met you at a conference and we shared a laugh, am I obligated to follow you on Twitter? If you follow me on Twitter, am I obligated to accept your Facebook friend request? If there is no way in hell our businesses will ever overlap and I don’t even really like you very much, must we exchange LinkedIn profiles?
Sometimes, when this all gets to be too much, I demote people. Well, that’s harsh. What I do is semi-regularly happen upon somebody in a friend list somewhere that I realize either a) I haven’t interacted with in a long, long time b) has consistently been bringing me down with their online shenanigans c) has truly done something to piss me off or d) unfollowed me though I didn’t realize it and so I return the favour.
It all becomes very petty, actually, a game I tire easily of playing. I start to think about opening the boundaries altogether, removing all semblance of personal information from social media and just letting everybody in everywhere. Or I start to think about stopping altogether. Shutting it down, privatizing, getting off, getting out. Both are liberating, scary ideas for a person living so much of her life online.
A meaningful interaction, a wonderful shared post or a tweet from somebody I had been missing usually brings me back around and out of the throes of any virtual existential crisis I may be edging toward. I manage my time online in a more productive way, and appreciate the people in my online space more, at least for a while.
And then, this week, two things:
First, a real life friendship took a total nosedive. For the sake of not airing dirty laundry, I will assume my culpability in this, but regardless of who was right or wrong, the friendship is certainly strained. Fractured. Tense and tenuous and not something I feel like I can put any more energy into at the moment.
So why is this person still sending me messages on Facebook? Why is this person still tweeting me?
If the basis of all of our online interactions stem from the fact that we have had a real life relationship, and that relationship is now – at least to me – fragmented, how is it at all possible to compartmentalize our friendship so intentionally, so perfectly, that we will no longer spend time on our real life relationship but can continue to interact online?
Next, somebody I know decently well intentionally blocked me on Twitter. Being blocked, I had assumed, was a mistaken flick of a wrist, so I candidly, and with no malice, inquired as to why I was being treated as tweeter non grata.
As it turns out, the person that had blocked me was going through a virtual existential crisis of their own. For survival or therapy, this person had culled their very small list of followers to an even smaller list, consisting only of people that this Tweeter felt had not crossed the lines that they were now imposing on their followers.
This person had halved their small followers list, and I had landed on the chopping block, despite having never crossed any of the lines that had been laid out. They had jumped the gun. I was invited back. Unblocked.
But the damage, to my ego and to our friendship, was done. This person’s instinct was to lump me in with the expendables. The unwanteds.
This person was an old-school blogging friend to me, somebody that had accepted my hospitality and whose family had shared dinner at my family's table.
Yes, I was hurt.
I refused the offer to become a follower again. I removed this person from my Facebook profile, because, in my order of things, if you do not want me on Twitter, the most impersonal, most inclusive of social media, than I certainly do not want you on Facebook, where you are privy to my more personal interactions.
In both of these instances I am trying to reconcile the order in which I prioritize relationships with the order in which they prioritize theirs.
I am trying, but failing, to find a place where the real life connection is so easily discounted and the online becomes a place to ignore, bolster or dissolve the real.
I can’t do it. And I am totally flummoxed that it is happening. Perhaps we simply deal with conflict in different ways. Perhaps conflict has become a more complicated, layered thing in the world of social media 2.0.
In both of these instances, the real life portion of the connection seems to be the disposable thing, the part that was not cherished or cultivated, the energy siphoned from the real to the virtual, where, it seems, fences are broken and mended at the click of a mouse.
I can’t do it. As much as I am a creature of the internal, safe, glowing screen, I am more a creature of the light. I need to know where I stand with people and get confused by passive-aggressive actions.
Sometimes, it’s easy. Sometimes we exchange virtual business cards or a laugh at a conference and then enjoy the simple space we take up in each other’s online life.
And sometimes the lines become more blurred; our relationships become harder to contain, harder to compartmentalize. We begin to see people simply as chattel, as numbers, as lists, to be contracted or expanded according to whim or want.
I just cannot allow myself to remain on someone’s list when my place in their life seems to have already been culled.

New Study: Immense Economic Benefits of the Barnett Shale Set to Increase
The immense economic benefits of shale development have been highlighted yet again with the recent release of an economic study by The Perryman Group (TPG) titled, “The Economic and Fiscal Contribution of the Barnett Shale: Impact of Oil and Gas Exploration and Production on Business Activity and Tax Receipts in the Region and State.”
The report finds that development in the Barnett Shale contributes $11.8 billion in gross domestic product every year as well as more than 107,650 permanent jobs. It also provides $480.6 million in local government revenues and $644.7 million in state revenues.
Even better news: this economic growth shows few signs of waning. As TPG president Ray Perryman put it, “Exploration activity for both natural gas and oil is likely to increase in the future as price and global market conditions change.”
The study identifies the economic and fiscal benefits of the Barnett Shale-related activity until 2023. It examines the cumulative economic benefits (including multiplier effects) to the region over the next ten years with an estimated $141.5 billion in gross product and 1,268,161 person-years of employment in the region. Tax benefits within the region include $5.7 billion for local governments. Additionally, “For Texas, the contribution of the Barnett Shale is estimated to be $153.4 billion in gross product and 1,354,727 person-years of employment. The statewide activity should provide tax receipts of $6.1 billion to the local governments and almost $8.0 billion to the State.”
The region has been a national energy generator and the study confirms the numbers stating, “More than 15 trillion cubic feet of natural gas have been produced from the Shale since 2001, with daily average production so far in 2014 exceeding 4.75 billion cubic feet per day. Oil production in the first few months of 2014 averaged almost 4,800 barrels per day. In 2011, the daily oil production averaged over 19,800 barrels.”
Contrast that incredible economic growth with what could happen in the City of Denton, which has been ground zero for activists bent on shutting down new exploration and undoing the past decade of job growth. According to another study released earlier this summer by The Perryman Group, a ban on drilling in Denton could cost the city $251.4 million in economic activity and 2,000 jobs over the next 10 years; slash tax revenues by $5.1 million to the city; and reduce revenues to the Denton Independent School District by $4.6 million. In other words, it’s a choice between economic growth or economic decline.
The Barnett Shale’s record of production is a remarkable precursor for the decade ahead, and it’s clear that communities that embrace development will reap the economic benefits for years to come.

Selecting the Perfect Furniture
Not all clients consider the benefits of having the architect also serve as the primary interior designer for a project. There are a numerous benefits, that range from comprehensive design aesthetics to understanding how all the details come together – to create well-rounded and thoughtfully designed project.
CHARACTER + AESTHETIC
Having the architect serve as the lead furniture designer/selector has many benefits for a client. First, the architect generally sets the overall design idea for a project, so they know exactly what pieces of furniture match the design aesthetics they were intending for a space. Likewise, they can better choose pieces that fit a space well. For example, a round space could benefit from round furniture pieces to accentuate the characteristics of a room
STYLE + CONSISTENCY
The same quality holds true for picking out furniture fabrics in a project. If the architect is the lead designer in the this area, they can choose patterns + colors that again match the overall feel + style of your project. This allows the furniture to work well with other pieces, has colors, and patterns that feel cohesive and additionally fit well within a space.
Beyond the aesthetic benefits a project gains financially from having the architect as the lead interior designer. The architect is uniquely positioned to be a natural non-biased party in the selection of furniture as they do not represent specific manufacturers or have financial stake in pushing new products or those that may have a higher margin of profit for a vendor. The architect, can compare multiple vendors that offer similar products to help clients pick furniture that both matches their budget and project style.
Architects can therefore help owners put together competitive solicitations for quotations, where they can then issue to multiple furniture vendors for competitive quotes. This process helps to assure owners get the best possible pricing and the creates amount of flexibility in choosing what furniture to purchase for their project, and helps their dollar stretch further.
DAKOTA COUNTY | PLEASANT HILL LIBRARY
Kodet Architectural Group recently conducted this process with Dakota County for their Pleasant Hill Library in Hastings, MN. The project features over 50 unique furniture families, each selected to match the architecture of the project and unique fabric selected to match the overall, “autumn leaves” color theme of the library. The variety of furniture pieces is intended to give patrons of the library the greatest variety of seating options. This will serve the library well long-term, to ensure there is always various spaces available to meet the needs of every individual, families, groups, young and old regardless of abilities to create a welcoming and inclusive space for the community.

In the southern part of the Lower Cumberland watershed, thousands of Christmas trees, blueberries, prairie grasses, and wildflowers adorn the hills of Erin’s Farm. This idyllic farm is located on just under 250 acres in Cunningham, Tennessee, about thirty minutes south of Clarksville. Linda and Gary Hamm own the farm and tend it with their children and grandchildren.
Conservation is of the utmost importance to the Hamms, who won Montgomery County NRCS “Conservation Farmer of the Year” Award in 2021. The award was well-deserved, as everything the Hamm family does on their farm is centered around connection, conservation, and restoration.
For example, the Hamms grow blueberries as part of a U-pick operation, in part, because they are easy to grow without chemical pesticides or fungicides. Similarly, they grow Christmas trees on their hilly land to help absorb and clean rainwater and minimize erosion. A half-acre Butterfly Field attracts endangered and migrating monarch butterflies and feeds a multitude of other insects and birds.
Not to be overlooked are the humble prairie grasses that abound at Erin’s Farm.
We often associate prairies with the Great Plains, but Tennessee also had an abundance of prairie land before European colonization. The important ecosystem functions of these lands were diminished as the native prairie grasses were replaced with invasive European forage grasses in the 19th century.
Erin’s Farm is doing its part to restore the prairie grasses by taking out fields of invasive fescue and lespedeza and replacing them with native, warm-season grasses such as Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem, Indian Grass, and Switchgrass.
These native grasses control soil erosion and aid in water purification. They are drought-tolerant and do not require chemical inputs. Growing as tall as eight feet, they provide food sources, good nesting cover, and brood areas for birds. The grasses encourage native wildflowers, which have room to grow in the spaces between the clumps of grasses.
Other River Friendly Practices
The rolling land on which Erin’s Farm is located would be prone to erosion if the Hamms did not take many careful measures to protect the stability of the soil. For instance, they hand-plant their Christmas trees so as to not have freshly turned-up dirt wash down the hill. Their one hundred and sixty acres of forest serve to filter and clean rainwater before it runs into Sullivan Branch that starts on their property.
If a pest or fungal outbreak occurs on their trees or berries, they opt for natural controls instead of chemical ones. Natural pesticides and fungicides cause little if any harm to pollinators, water quality, and soil biology. A healthy, balanced ecosystem leads to fewer outbreaks overall and more resilient plants.
A forestry management plan helps the Hamm’s maintain their forest. Forested land with mature tree canopies is crucial to healthy waterways. Tree canopies slow down rainwater as it falls, allowing for more groundwater absorption. They shade creeks and keep water temperatures cool, allowing more oxygen to dissolve in the water, which in turn is beneficial for aquatic life. Their root systems also absorb rainwater and filter pollutants.
River Friendly Farm Certified
In 2023, Erin’s Farm was certified as a River Friendly Farm by the Cumberland River Compact.
“Having this certification is a great reminder for us to make meaningful choices. When we are reminded that the water is connected and that we are all connected, we will be reminded to be kind, caring and just in how we tend the land,” says Mariel Newkirk, daughter of Linda and Gary Hamm.
The River Friendly Farm certification program with Cumberland River Compact recognizes farmers who are good stewards of water and land resources, connecting them with consumers who value a healthy environment. As a River Friendly Farm, Erin’s Farm is ensuring cleaner water, healthier soil, and a more resilient climate for the people and creatures living in the surrounding environment.
How to Support Erin’s Farm
You can support Erin’s Farm during the winter holiday months, when the public is welcomed to select and cut down a Christmas tree. White, Scotch, and Virgina pines in all shapes and sizes mean you’ll find the perfect tree for your home. And you can rest assured the Hamm’s natural farming practices mean you’re not bringing home any unwanted chemicals. While you’re there, enjoy a steaming mug of cocoa around a fire while your kids bundle up and hop on a hayride.
In the warmer months, visit the farm to pick their organically grown blueberries or to enjoy the pollinator habitat.

What happened? On Monday, February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed decrees recognizing the sovereignty of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics…
British pay surge speeds down to six-month minimum notwithstanding record employment
UK employees’ pay surge has speeded down to its weakest value for six months notwithstanding record employment, thus contributing to the BoE’s conundrum because Britain’s major financial institution considers whether to have interest rates lifted for only the second time since the global financial downtime or not.
On the year average weekly wages tacked on by 2.5% for the three months to May, decelerating from the previous three month period when they managed to soar by nearly 2.6%.
Excluding bonuses, pay surge speeded down by a similar amount, hitting 2.7%. Evidently, both readings turned out to be in line with the average estimate in a Reuters survey of market experts.
The UK economy is definitely picking up after a slowdown for the first three months of 2018, when strangely heavy snow affected demand, while the BoE worries it’s actually bumping up against the speed limit, which would start driving inflation.
Additionally, Tuesday's data disclosed that the unemployment rate was still at its joint-lowest value since 1975 sticking with 4.2%, while the proportion of folks in work tacked on to a record maximum of 75.7% after 137,000 jobs were generated for the three months to May.
However, economic surge since 2016's Brexit vote has been poor by historic standards because of high inflation as well as business uncertainty. By the way, the International Monetary Fund had Britain's surge forecast cut for this year to 1.4%.
Pay surge appears to be one of the pieces of data Britain’s key financial institution is likely to consider most closely at as it meetings whether to have interest rates lifted next month in what would be only the second rate hike since before the 2008 global financial downtime.
BoE Chief Mark Carney told that both the British economy in general and wages were soaring as the BoE had predicted in May.

September 25, 2010 06:43:09 PM IST Bollywood Trade News Network
Divya Dutta, the actress known for her versatility and her strong roles has always stood distinct in all her films. Be it VEER ZARA, DELHI 6, BAGHBAN or WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR, she has managed to make her own space in all the films she has done.
The actress also has a streak of upcoming big films like HISSS and Sanjay Leela Bhansali productions' MY FRIEND PINTO, Amole Gupte's STANLEY KA DABBA and many others in pipeline. But along with her hard work it seems like a godly affair that has brought her a long way. Divya who originates from Punjab, has always been inclined towards acting since her school and college days. During those days only, she had visited the Golden Temple like many others in Amritsar and tied the holy ribbon to a wish tree there, popularly called 'Dukh Bhanjani Ber'. It is believed that if one has a wish to be fulfilled, the person can visit the temple and with pure divinity tie the holy ribbon to a branch of the tree and the wish comes true. And after the wish comes true, one has to come back and untie any ribbon from the tree. Thus Divya had also wished to be a successful actress one day and here she is.
However Divya has not untied her wish ribbon yet as she had not got a chance to visit The Golden Temple since years. But to her surprise the almighty whom she believes in immensely, gave her a reminder to pay back the dues. Divya got a dream about the Wish Tree recently and it was not just a normal dream but a kind of a show reel for Divya, portraying her journey till date. The dream brought the forgotten memories alive and Divya has decided that on her upcoming birthday on 25th September, 2010, she will defy all the schedules to make it to the Temple and untie the ribbon and thank god for all the success in life.
The past beckons for Divya now and she will be visiting the Golden Temple on her birthday as what better day than a birthday, where you get to start a new lease of life?
"It will be the most memorable birthday I believe and with such an incidence my faith in God has become stronger. I feel that a superpower has always been around me, showing me the way with a search light guiding me of wrong and rights always," says Divya.

So my list has five girls(?) named Burwell who attended the Mordecai school:
Eliza Blair Burwell was there for both sessions of 1812.
Lucy Burwell was there for both sessions of 1817.
Martha C. Burwell was there for four sessions, 1811-1812.
Mary W. Burwell was there for both sessions of 1812.
And N. Burwell was on the rolls for 1809.
I have most of these names attached to Mecklenburg County, Virginia, and the adults named Armistead Burwell and Richard Boyd are found in the ledger, paying for their accounts (possibly also William Robards). Martha C. Burwell was married to Grandison Field in November 1816, and is mentioned as "Mrs. Field" in some of the Mordecai letters after that date (for example, 3 July 1831, Caroline Plunkett to Ellen Mordecai, in the Jacob Mordecai Papers at Duke University). So that's where I'm starting from.
I know this is a recurring theme of this blog, but there were a lot of Burwells in the area--and even several Armistead Burwells, all related. One branch of the family even ran a girls' school in Hillsborough NC, in the 1830s. (That linked website for the Burwell school does some of what I'm trying to do here, in listing all the known students and, where possible, their life stories.)
With that in mind, we'll start with the one we know most about: Martha Christian Burwell (b. 1795) was the youngest child of a very large family of Burwells--she was the sixteenth and last child born to Col. Lewis Burwell (1745-1800), who served in the Revolutionary War, and the fourth child born to the second Mrs. Burwell, Elizabeth Harrison (1754-1824). She would have been a five-year-old when her father passed away, and was a teenager during her years at the Mordecai school--seventeen when she left, making her one of the older students. She married Charles Grandison Field in 1816, in Richmond. (His name is sometimes spelled Feild or Fields or Feilds, by various branches of the family.) Charles Grandison Field and Martha moved to Tennessee in 1836, with their whole household, including a significant number of slaves. (Among the slaves in that group were the ancestors of Tennessee Assemblymen John Boyd and William A. Feilds.) Martha was widowed in Tennessee, and seems to have remarried at least once. She might have had children, but I can't find mention of their names (she might also have raised step-children). I saw one mention of her dying in 1898, which would mean she was over a hundred years old--possible, but without seeing it mentioned in multiple places I'm not going to assume that's true.
The other Burwell girls couldn't have been Martha's sisters, because all her sisters were older than her and wouldn't have been young enough to attend the Mordecai school. Unfortunately, they all have fairly common names for the Burwell families, and I'm not locating any that are the right age.
Thus end the Bs! Next entry, we move onto the C names.

The hooligans have been miserable the last couple of days with the heat and humidity, and it’s only spring. I’ll need to get all of them shaved soon now that it’s warmed up. Marla a friend of mine has a stable and she loaded a load of shaving from the stalls into her dump trailer. After we hauled it to my house, a lot of the shavings wouldn’t slid out of the trailer despite several forward and backwards rocking, so we took turns forking it out. Both of us were very aromatic by the time we got finished unloading.
When Marla first got out of my truck she was tackled by Patches. I have fed them food with glucosamine and chondriotin sulfate, plus Patches gets a biscuit for joint health when I retire into the house in the evening. She has a back injury inflicted by her last owner, and it’s really made a difference in her mobility and personality. She’s feels better and is actually playing with Blackie and Levi now plus now tackling visitors.
After I took Marla and her trailer back home, my three kept near all afternoon. I don’t know if it’s due to the storm forecast for later tonight or if it was due to the horse smell on me.
I have some late blooming iris pictures tonight, plus the oriental lilies are starting to bloom a little early this year. Most Oriental and Asiatic lilies will get up to 4-6 feet in height. Some dwarf varieties are available. I have one called Tiny Ghost that only gets up to a foot in height and has a dark red bloom. I thought it had died over the winter, so I bought another one and when digging in last years planting area I found the bulb in very good shape, but for some reason still dormant. Now I have a pair. In one of the pictures you will see a mass planting of coreopsis. I started out with one of two plants of it plus a Gaillardia (blanket flower). Both reseed readily, plus the gold finches just love them and cone flowers and help to spread all. I tend to let things stay in a bed if they make an effort to come up. Profusion zinnias are another that will reseed and come back the next year. I have several coming up in the flower beds that look a lot better than the ones in the greenhouse. I had to replant several of my seeds in the greenhouse this year as mice got into my containers and ate the seeds. I gave the mice some nice little green pellets to eat in the mean time.
With the rain coming, I got my corn and cucumbers mulched. Oh my report on planting the cuc seeds in toilet paper rolls to keep the cut worms at bay. The other day I notices several of the rolls out in the yard and garden. The half roll partly in the ground made a nice bowl for the deer or this large groundhog that lives in the dry creek, or maybe one of the hooligans to just pluck out of the ground. I didn’t see any potting soil or plants anywhere, so maybe it was critters that got them. Since I over planted, I still have a good mess growing in the tomato cages. After mulching I got a couple of the Cherokee Purple and a Black Prince heirloom tomatoes in the ground. The Black Prince is a new one for me this year. It already had a couple of small tomatoes on it. Patches sat on it before I could get wheat straw and cages around them. She didn’t break it so I think it will be okay.

Why are you allowed to move the x to the other side?
How come there's a 2 on the bottom now?
@cthomasknight, the easy way to remember what to do is to keep in mind that 'dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of the fraction'. That's what Gretacig does in her response:
2/3 * x = 6 but you need an equation with a shape like x = ....
This can only be achieved by dividing left and right by 2/3. Now apply the rule above, about multiplying by the inverse of the fraction (so dividing by 2/3 is multiplying by 3/2).
2/3 * 2/3 * x = 3/2 * 6, where 3/2 * 2/3 = 1, leading to
1*x = 2/3 * 6 ==> x = 18
