He went to the hospital in the morning. By mid-afternoon, he was dead from COVID-19.
Most people won't die from coronavirus. But many families will feel its pain. Just as John Sprinkle's family now does.
By Mark Brown@MarkBrownCST Nov 13, 2020, 5:45am CST
Share All sharing options for: He went to the hospital in the morning. By mid-afternoon, he was dead from COVID-19.
John Sprinkle, who died Nov. 6 from COVID-19, enjoyed honoring veterans. He served in the color guard of the American Veterans Motorcycle Riders Association.
John Sprinkle of Evergreen Park observed his 36th birthday Nov. 4.
He didn't celebrate because he had been feeling sick. But he went on Facebook the following day to thank everyone for wishing him well.
The next morning, having trouble breathing, he called 911 to take him to the hospital. He was able to walk to the ambulance and waved to a neighbor.
A couple of hours later, he texted his sister from the emergency room, saying he was feeling better.
At 3:38 that afternoon, Sprinkle was dead from acute respiratory failure caused by COVID-19.
Just like that.
The toll from the coronavirus pandemic is mounting again, much like it was in the spring, and I've decided to return to what I was doing then: telling the stories of the victims.
John Sprinkle was a simple, good-natured soul. He lived at home with his parents and worked at a gun shop in Crete. He loved animals and target shooting.
But his main interest was his involvement with a pair of veterans service organizations: the American Veterans Motorcycle Riders Association for many years and more recently with American Warriors Motorcycle Association.
Sprinkle was neither a veteran nor a motorcycle rider. But his grandfather served in the Navy during World War II and inspired Sprinkle to believe in the importance of honoring military service. The motorcycle groups gave Sprinkle the opportunity to take an active role in showing his respect.
He enjoyed carrying the flag in the AVMRA color guard at ceremonies and selling merchandise at events to raise money for veterans homes.

Nobody worked harder than Sprinkle to support the group's efforts, said his friend Billy Neyen, 63, of LaGrange, a Navy veteran.
"He would dive into anything he could get his hands on to help veterans," Neyen said.
On holidays such as Veterans Day, Sprinkle typically would be at a commemoration somewhere, dressed in his color guard uniform. His motorcycle vest bore his self-bestowed nickname: Bubba.
Between such engagements, Sprinkle was there to help everyone else, letting them borrow his truck, feeding his sister's cat, babysitting Neyen's dogs, driving a friend to a doctor's appointment.
"You could call 100 people right now, and they'd all say he had a heart of gold," said his sister Rose Sprinkle, a hospital administrator who used to work in Barack Obama's Senate office. "It sounds so cliché, but he would do anything for anyone at any time, and he never had a bad thing to say about anybody."
John Sprinkle and his sister Rose Sprinkle.
His aunt Christine Wollner marveled at his positive attitude.
"He just didn't seem to have a bad day," she said.
His death was out of the blue, but the COVID diagnosis wasn't. Sprinkle's 71-year-old father, also named John, tested positive days earlier, and Sprinkle had been tested. It's unclear whether he knew the results before heading to the hospital.
Sprinkle was seriously overweight, maybe 5-6 and 285 pounds. That can put people at greater risk if they contract COVID-19.
He had no other known health problems, emphasis on "known" because he didn't have health insurance and didn't go to the doctor, his sister said.
The afternoon he died, she raced to the hospital to be with her younger brother. She knew from her phone conversations that the situation was dire. But, when she entered his room wearing full PPE, doctors already were trying to resuscitate him.
"I held his hand. I told him how much we loved him. I said I was sorry I couldn't take care of him and fix it."
The doctors and nurses also were crying.
"You could just see it was breaking their hearts, too," she said.
After he died, they left her alone with him.
"I probably said the word 'no' two million times. I said no, no, no…"
Rose Sprinkle doesn't know how her family was exposed, and there's no sense speculating.
Her father was hospitalized hours after her brother's death and has been there since. He seems to be holding his own. Her mother Patricia, who also tested positive, is isolating at home.
Most people won't die from COVID-19. But many families will feel its pain.

As summer fast approaches the thought of holidays enter our heads. Wanaka is not only a fantastic winter destination but it is pretty good in summer too!
With the crystal clear water of Lake Wanaka at our doorstep and some astounding surroundings there is an abundance of activities for the adventurous and non-adventurous alike.
If you are looking for something to get that adrenaline pumping then maybe free falling from 15,000ft will do the trick or possibly a high speed jet boat down the Clutha River. If on the other hand you would prefer something a little more sedate, then grab that fishing rod and head on down to the river, or, sit back, relax and take in the views that surround this amazing location.
We think the best way to experience Lake Wanaka, is to get on it. Stand Up Paddle Boarding, Kayaking, Sailing or a Luxury Cruise are some of the ways to get out on the water and see the area from a different perspective.
Here at Release Wanaka we have the local knowledge to make that summer holiday unforgettable. With our 'Wanaka Fixer' in tow you can experience the best this area has to offer. Click here to find out more.


I so relate! This spoke to me even though I'm not doing the study. With Spring Ministries, the task is way too big for me. But God showed me I needed to strategize (is that a word?), delegate and let others do what I can't do.

With HTML frames, you can display more than one HTML document in the same browser window .Each HTML document is called a frame, and each frame is independent of the others.
The web developer must keep track of more HTML documents.
The HTML frame set element holds one or more frame elements .Each frame element can hold a separate document.
The frame set element states How many columns or rows there will be in the frame set and how much percentage /pixels of space will occupy each of them.
The<frame> tag defines one particular window (frame) with in a frame set.
In the example below we have a frame set with two columns.
Note: The frameset column size can also be set in pixels (cols="200,500"), and one of the columns can be set to use the remaining space, with an asterisk(cols="25%,*").
Tip: Add the <noframes> tag for browsers that do not support frames.
Important: You cannot use the  tags together with the <frameset></frameset> tags! However if you add a <noframes> tag containing some text for browsers that do not support frames,you will have to enclose the text in <body tags! See how it is done in the first example below.
How to create a html frame set with three documents, and how to mix them in rows and column.
Most websites have put their content in multiple columns(formatted like a magazine or newspaper).
Multiple columns are created by using
or
 tags.Some CSS are normally also added to position elements or to create backgrounds or colourful look for the pages.
The simplest way of creating layouts is by using the HTML
 tag.
The following example uses a table with 3 rows and 2 Columns –the first and last row spans both columns using the colspan attribute.
Note: Even though it is possible to create nice laytouts with HTML tables , tables were designed for presenting tabular data-NOT as a layout tool!
The div element is a block level element used for grouping HTML elements.
The biggest advantage of using CSS is that,if you can place the CSS code in an external style sheet,your site becomes MUCH EASIER to maintain .You can change the layout of al your pages by editing one file.
Tip: Because advanced layouts take time to create, a quicker option is use to a template. Search Google for free website templates (these are pre-built website layouts you can use and customize).

Please remember that the deadline for completing the survey is Wednesday, December 19th. Thank you for taking time to share your input.
Our hope for this process is that student achievement will improve, parent involvement will increase, the community and business supporters will engage more meaningfully, and the financial resources will be available to elevate the Little Rock public schools, families and local economy.
All children deserve the opportunity to learn in quality environments and grow their motivation. We have opportunities to speed up the remodeling and revitalization of LRSD so the community can be sure we have the best learning spaces to prepare our future leaders for the problems of tomorrow.
What are we shooting for?
High performing school systems are like powerful "charging stations" where all children get the cognitive, social, and emotional skills they need and the workforce preparedness to drive their futures. The Little Rock School District's intent is to make sure every child gets to charge up for a good future here.
What outcomes are we trying to improve?
Aging Facilities. The average age of our school buildings is approximately 60 years. Given that reality, we know there will need to be a continual investment in school facilities to support our students.
The public school enrollment has been on a multi-year downward trend, and it's uneven throughout the district with several zones losing population. We have to turn this around by investing in our schools, both the buildings and the student experiences in those buildings, so parents will trust us to educate and inspire their children.
Some schools are jam-packed and a several are underutilized. We have regions in our city where we have a loss of students as well as increased competition. We have to use our facilities wisely.
We just completed extensive improvements in many structures, recreation facilities and energy use but we have over $300 million in remaining upgrades on our priority menu. We face a growing threat from Charters who have resources to purchase and redevelop outdated buildings if we don't use our resources to better the whole community.
While other schools may have high churn rates of teachers, in the LRSD we have a wealth of well-trained, highly motivated and experienced teachers who are key to attracting students and parents. We are challenged in recruiting new teachers especially as we approach retirements of our highly trained teaching pros. We want to attract more young and innovative teachers into our system who will join this powerful cadre of professional teachers.
Despite significant progress and collaboration, we have much to do to lift grade-level achievement. Every day, our principals, community, business, faith and non-profit leaders are working together on this.
There is rising demand for affordable Pre-K and the district needs more seats and more spaces to accommodate young students from birth to Pre-K4. The outcomes from our Pre-K programming are high for every child who participates. Expanding our high quality Pre-K to more working families will require some fees or additional funding because of the regulations around government Pre-K funding that we must abide by. We will have to design an affordable response.
We have an opportunity to prepare our students for hundreds of job openings in the Little Rock area, and our businesses desperately need us to scale-up our career exposure and 21st Century skill development so our students not only learn information, but they learn to DO and MAKE things. Our hospitals, bankers, construction companies and manufacturers are willing to invest with us so every student has an opportunity to learn skills that prepare them for high-paying jobs in our local economy.
What opportunities do we have?
The updated master facility plan for LRSD has to be completed this fall and submitted to the state. LRSD can compete for millions of dollars in additional facilities funding through this process.
The community including the city, businesses and non-profits are ready and willing to step in and share the responsibility and resources with us.
The new Little Rock Southwest High School opens up new uses for our remaining buildings, and we need community agreement on our next revitalization targets.
Because revitalizing our facilities takes many planning and construction cycles, we have to outline a set of practical moves that can be put in motion now.
How will we remodel and improve the educational experience across the district?
Step 1: Improve learning environments across the district to support academic growth and achievement outcomes that will return local control.
Step 2: Expand the learning choices for families and students by expanding Pre-K, Career/Tech exposure and experience, and establishing more K-8 sites to provide a stable path all the way to graduation and post-secondary achievements.
Step 3: Identify additional savings that can be allocated to increasing staff pay and supports with a specific priority of elevating the starting teacher pay at competitive rates. The LRSD is now near the bottom statewide for entry-level teacher salaries.
Why we believe this is sensible and fair?
Establishing a pragmatic five-year plan now positions the District to compete for critical state facilities funding that will help modernize our school system and open up access to more early childhood and career readiness resources that are in great demand. There are new opportunities to consider in most parts of the city to improve access to quality programs or services. By creating together a common-sense Blueprint for the next five years, we can remodel our school system as a real launch-pad for our community's future. The changes we need to make to our school system are like remodeling a vintage but outdated house—keeping what works, and updating what doesn't, to make it more functional for the future.
What are we doing to improve student achievement and how does that play into the discussion?
Our buildings are old and there is strong evidence that improving learning environments improves learning. We need to show that we care and are willing to invest in our children's education and future. Each school is also working on their improvement plans, tailored to the needs of those students and neighborhoods. The district has committed resources to update materials and tools to assist our sites. We also have moved forward with an aggressive professional development plan to support our staff which in turn supports our students.
What happens if we do not act in unison now? We have to realize that we are losing students to outlying communities, private schools, home schools and charter schools. We must compete to attract and retain students. We are stewarding our public school system as we move toward the re-establishment of local control.

Q: CSS "background-position: center" doesn't work for mobile I'm currently working on a website page where one image covers the whole page. Here's my code.

.cover-bg {
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: cover;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
}

.banner { /* linear-gradient darkens out the background image */
  background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5), rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)), url("../images/image.jpg");
  background-attachment: fixed;
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
}

This works perfectly fine on PC and Mac and even works well if I shrink the browser size. However, it just doesn't work on mobile (the image is not centered, so the image looks very ugly). I've already done hours of research online and tried all possible solutions other people did to solve this problem, but nothing works for me. Does any of you kind people know how to counter this problem?
On mobile, I tried both Safari and Chrome (both don't work), and I'm assuming that Firefox won't work either.

Michael Broadbent, 2002: I cannot think of any other wine which automatically, unconsciously, conjures up such a variety of (mainly) happy associations. It is, par excellence, the wine of celebration; it has an almost unassailable position in the hierarchy of wine.
This tasting of older champagnes was held in the first week of May, 2016, in Wellington. The atmosphere in the room beforehand was exciting, a great sense of anticipation being evident amongst the group. And during the tasting, I can say, having now presented quite a few tastings of older wines over the last 20 years, that I can scarcely recall seeing (some) tasters so rapt ... one Victoria University of Wellington academic looked absolutely beatific. What a joy to see.
The logistics of placing the wines before the tasters was not quite such fun. It being likely that pressures would be low in some of them, the bottles were opened then and there, at the start of the tasting. Old champagne corks pose their own unique challenges, there being only the relatively small head to grip. Corks become cemented in, over decades. The relatively recent invention of the perforated rubber-like grip-cloth is a boon, in this task. But I had taken in quite a toolkit to deal with emergencies, when that aid was insufficient. And when all else fails, one can cut the cork off flush with a strong knife, and use a strong double-acting mechanical and all-metal corkscrew on the stub.
The other challenge with old champagnes is cork taint, and associated musty odours. Because of the mushroom shape of the cork, with the head above the neck of the bottle, not within in it, there is much more scope for dust particles to accumulate under the head, foil notwithstanding, and over decades gradually become the locus for mould spores to establish. From there fungal mycelia can and do creep down the shaft of the cork. One of the bottles showed threshold TCA mustiness, and sadly, the 50-year old bottle, the 1966 Bollinger, had to be rejected due to more overt, but still not crippling TCA. I had it as the second to last wine, the wines being arranged to hopefully build in depth of flavour, so unfortunately this upset the sequence, the replacement 'in reserve' bottle being a relatively light wine. The tasting was not presented blind, both for the above timing of opening reason, and also because at least one bottle had a very distinctive shape.
In titling this tasting, why would I say a �definitive� tasting ? Presumptuous surely. It simply is, that for any person whose appreciation of wine is not set by snob values or advertising / PR criteria, any tasting including Pol Roger�s Cuvée Winston Churchill tells us all that needs to be known about the beauty of the champagne style. And the more so, if the example is from a great year, as ours is. Cork permitting, this wine should be sensational.
But we could also hope that any tasting that includes a wine which wine-searcher values at $NZ1408 (at the moment of writing) is also worth tasting. Even if it is 1976 Bollinger RD (Recently Disgorged) in fact disgorged in 1987. Frankly � the valuation seems nuts. And then there is Bollinger vintage. This wonderful bolder style of champagne is now so rare in NZ, it currently is not available anywhere in the country. The tasting includes THREE vintages from 1966 to 1990, all well-rated vintages. Who has tasted a 50-year old champagne ? And there is the nv Bollinger bought at the same time as the 1982, to answer the question: how well do non-vintage champagnes keep ?
The tasting also includes two examples of the beautiful 1996 vintage, the second best vintage of the last 40 years, according to Wine Spectator, whose vintage charts are arguably the most thoughtful around. The exquisite 1996 Pol Roger Chardonnay (Blanc de Blancs) will be set against the 1975 of the same label, to further illuminate the question: how does champagne age. And we have Bollinger Vintage from 1990, the best vintage of them all, according to that source.
So study the list, and ask how such a tasting could be assembled today (in New Zealand). Then ask, how on earth does one value the tasting, and the tasting fee ? A single bottle of vintage Bollinger is approx. $NZ210 today. A single bottle of Taittinger Comtes or Bollinger RD is over $400 today, for the current vintage. The total wine-searcher valuation for the set is $5780.
This is a unique opportunity to compare some of the great labels of (the less pretentious side of) the Champagne world, and see how they age. Provided the 1966 has a sound cork, and just trace pressure, it should at the least be a lovely old (loosely speaking) grand cru Chablis style. And Lechere was famous in his day. The Ayala should serve as a foil to some of the better-known labels.
Please note that in sharing in this tasting, tasters accept the risk of corked bottles. That is just the same as if you had cellared the wine yourself. There are no back-up bottles. If a wine is profoundly corked (for it can happen even with compound champagne corks) one of the reserve wines above will be substituted. So 12 wines, but maybe not a key one.
# �For my Library Tastings the presentation is based on 12 wines all out at once, �so comparisons can be made. �Note however the pours are small (30 ml), both to enable more to share sometimes rare bottles, �and to lower the entry price. �Please come prepared to sniff and sip and savour rather more than initially drinking. �Such a small volume can very easily be consumed, �without thinking. On this occasion, it is too hard to present the wines blind, when coupled with the complications old champagne corks may provide, and the impracticability of decanting bubbly.

Save the Children Philippines joins International Day of Peace celebration

Save the Children Philippines joins the celebration of International Day of Peace with a call to end discrimination against children who face deprivation owing to lingering armed conflicts, natural disasters, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
"*As the world struggles to find solutions to the pandemic, we call for the fulfillment of rights of children to health, learning and protection from violence as their plights continue to be sidelined*," said Atty. Alberto Muyot, Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Philippines.
This year's International Day of Peace is themed "Shaping Peace Together" and calls on the global community to spread compassion, kindness, and hope in the face of the pandemic.
Save the Children Philippines has launched the "Restoring Livelihoods and Learning in Marawi" project, in partnership with Japan Fund for Poverty, Government of Japan, and Asian Development Bank.
The project aims to provide livelihood and emergency employment to displaced families during the Marawi Siege in 2017 and ensure continued learning of their children.
"*The pandemic made the lives of the financially-challenged and conflict-affected people here twice difficult*," said Asinah Munid, Kagawad of Barangay Lumbayangue in Saguiaran, Lanao del Sur.
The program implements short-term emergency employment for working-age men and women in more than 90 barangays in the province of Lanao del Sur.
In addition, it aims to implement projects on social, economic and agro-forestry community projects like road and school repair, waste management program and other labor services.
Edwin Horca, BARMM Team Leader of Save the Children Philippines said the project provides immediate income to internally displaced families so they can support education and nutrition needs of their children.
The medium and long-term livelihood projects will be implemented in coordination with local and national government agencies.
"*Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is providing children and their families the chance to get back on their feet and rebuild their communities*," said Horca.
About Save the Children
Save the Children believes that every child deserves a future. In the Philippines and in 117 countries, we work hard every day to give them a good start in life, protect them from violence and any other damage, and help them learn crucial skills. When crises affecting children strike, we are among the first to respond. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

March 26/18 17:34 pm - Commonwealth Games Profile - Ariane Bonhomme
Ariane Bonhomme will attend her first Commonwealth Games at Gold Coast as a member of the women's squad that will race on the track and the road. This will be her first major Games. Bonhomme, from Gatineau, Quebec, will turn 23 just before the Games begin.
"I started cycling when I was a short track speed skater, trying to find something fun to keep in shape during the summer time. I was in Grade 6 when I did my first road race. I soon fully transitioned to cycling due to a knee injury that kept putting me on the back burner in short track."
"I've always been very competitive, so reaching the national team was a clear path for me. I've always wanted to go to the Olympics since I was very young, so it was very natural to make it a goal of mine from the first couple times I started racing bikes."
2012 Road Worlds Junior Women Road Race
Bonhomme first represented Canada as a Junior at the 2012 Road Worlds, finishing 69th. She joined the Elite ranks in 2014 and immediately began racing in the top domestic races such as GP Gatineau and the Delta Road Race, as well as the national championships, riding with the local Ottawa-based The Cyclery team. However, she also joined the NextGen women's endurance track program when it started for the 2015-16 season.
Leading Canada 2 at the 2015 Milton International
2016 Grand Prix Gatineau
2016 U23 Women's ITT winner
Member of the Gold medal Team Pursuit squad at the Milton World Cup 2017
In 2016, she represented Canada at the Pan Am track Championships in Aguascalientes, Mexico, winning a gold medal in the Team Pursuit and a bronze medal in the Points Race. In 2017, she became one of the first riders to graduate to the Olympic Pool and began to represent Canada at World Cups, as part of the Team Pursuit squad that won a silver medal in Poland and a gold medal at the Canadian team's home track in Milton last December.
"Obviously, some of the victories or good results I've had are some important moments in my cycling career, like winning the gold medal in the Team Pursuit at the Milton World Cup, but I think the most important moments are the ones that no one really ever hear of."
"The moments of injuries or struggles to get results that could have easily end up in quitting the sport. I've had my fair share of these moments, from broken bones to concussions or overtraining, and it's that key moment when you realize that this is temporary, that with a good support network you can get out of this and that it will be all worth it when you get to stand on the podium with three of your best friends that makes it all worth it."
"I've always had a very strong support system around me, from my parents, to my friends and [NextGen coach] Jenny Trew and Chris Reid with The Cyclery team and I could never thank them enough for believing in me."
Most recently, Ariane was on the Canadian Team Pursuit squad that finished fourth at the world championships this year.
"World Championships were an amazing experience! It's something that I've always dreamt about and being there for the first time was pretty surreal and amazing. Racing alongside these three very talented and experienced riders was also so much fun. I was grateful to have them to walk me through the process. It was obviously heartbreaking to finish just outside the podium, but it sure gives us fire in our belly to redeem ourselves at the Commonwealth Games."
For Ariane, the Commonwealth Games represent another step in her development as an athlete.
"I am very excited to participate in my first major Games! The whole team has been very helpful into giving us information about how it is going to work. We are all pretty excited to get to the Gold Coast and get the show going. We are ready to race hard!"

In real life, 1966 was dominated by Beatlemania and the Vietnam War. On Mad Men, 1966 was the year of Megan Draper. Don's hip new wife received epic proportions of screen time and story lines on season 5, but her outfits also notably heralded in mod fashion. Her hemlines got shorter, her colors got brighter, and actress Jessica Paré's long, lean frame made for an ideal late-'60s fashion plate. As it turns out, even modern-day companies need to keep up with this historical transformation—Banana Republic is centering its next Mad Men collection on Megan's style. Select stores and the website will begin selling the items on March 1.
The 50-plus pieces of apparel and accessories for men and women will demonstrate the era's new love of prints and geometry. The women's collection will feature shift dress with shorter hemlines and keyhole details, along with mirrored heel shoes, graphic scarves and geometric jewelry. Men can channel their inner Roger Sterling with bold plaids and stripes, sport coats, fedoras and skinny ties.
The upcoming line is the third c0llaboration between the workplace style chain and the retro show. Previous collections showcased Betty's predilection for more conservative early '60s looks like full skirts and cardigans. The new apparel pieces will range from $49.50–$140 for women and $44.50–$375 for men. Accessories will cost between $29.50–$128 for women and $45–$69.50 for men.

By today's standards your seat would be considered on the higher side. Do you keep it at that height for tricks, comfort, both?
For me it's more comfortable to do barspin variations.
I change most often my grips and seat because it has greater wear.
Nothing in particular, I think.
What do you have between your sprocket and BB and what purpose does it serve?
I use a piece of rubber next to the cranks so they don't rotate when I do tailwhips.

Why Open Adoption Isn't Confusing To Children
For decades people have debated the effects of open adoption and whether ongoing contact was harmful to the individuals involved.
Of particular concern was whether it caused problems for children. Some argued that open adoption created confusion about who a child's real parents were, which lead to issues with self-esteem and identify.
But now the co-author of a groundbreaking study on open adoption says his findings contradict these concerns and others regarding birth families and adoptive parents.
According to Harold D. Grotevant, the Rudd Family Foundation Chair in Psychology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, open adoption
does not unsettle adoptees
does not increase birth mothers' grief
does not exacerbate adoptive parents' fears of losing a child
The way he sees it, open adoption requires a whole new way of thinking of adoption.
"Rather than 'subtracting' children from their birth family and 'adding' them to their adoptive family," he says, "open adoption means that the family has been transformed and extended to form what we call an 'adoptive kinship network."
According to Grotevant's study, children know the difference between adoptive and birth parents and understand their different roles.
Unlike in closed adoption, where children filled in the gaps of their birth family history with fantasy, in open adoption they know that their birth relatives are real people.
Even if they're not regularly in contact with their birth family, they have access to information about what they look like, their personality traits, their medical history, and often the reasons they were placed for adoption.
The frequency, type and directness of contact between children and their birth family varies widely from one relationship to the next and changes over time as circumstances change.
What matters most, according to Grotevant and what really hit home for me, is not the frequency or type of contact, but what he calls the "perception " of it.
"In general, children who had contact were more satisfied with arrangements than those who did not. When family members were dissatisfied with their contact, it was almost always because they wanted more (rather than less) but were unable to bring it about," he says.
"It was this satisfaction, rather than the actual level of contact, that predicted better adjustment among adopted adolescents and young adults."
Adoptees aren't the only ones who benefit from open adoption's ongoing contact, according to Grotevant. Birthmothers do too.
Until the 1980s, when his study began, most adoptions were closed. Women gave up their parental rights and had no contact or information about their child's whereabouts or well-being.
But in today's open adoptions, birthmothers are actively involved in choosing parents for their baby and have the option of keeping in touch with their child and their adoptive family after placement.
Some people worried that this type of ongoing contact would impede a birthmother from grieving her loss and have a detrimental effect on her relationships and mental health.
In fact, Grotevant says, researchers found the opposite was true.
"Birth mothers in more open adoptions who were more satisfied with their contact arrangements had less unresolved grief 12-20 years after the placements than those involved in closed adoptions," he says.
"Birth mothers are often comforted by having information about and some contact with their children, knowing that they are safe and doing well, and having the reassurance that their decision to place the child for adoption was a good one."
As for ongoing contact for adoptive parents, his study found that it also has advantages. Again, Grotevant compared the concerns that people had back when the study started with the reality today.
Initially, adoptive parents were fearful that birthparents would be looking over their shoulders or showing up unannounced on their doorstep to take back their child.
Again, his research found the opposite to be true.
"Adoptive parents were least afraid in open adoptions, often because the birth and adoptive parents had had a conversation about this issue and the birth mothers would often say, 'Why would I take my child back? I placed my child with you. I just want to make sure that my child is OK,'" Grotevant writes.
"In closed adoptions, where adoptive mothers knew little about a child's birth mother, fears tended to grow out of negative stereotypes about birth parents that were not informed by reality."
Although the study looked at most of the major stakeholders in adoption relationship, Grotevant did point out that one voice was msising: birthfathers.
Although other research suggests that birthfathers have some of the same wants and needs as birthmothers, they could also create new complications and challenges to family relationships created through open adoption.
And Grotevant doesn't shy away from saying these types of relationships are more complicated than others. But he also points out that they can be more rewarding and, like any relationship, require work.
He identified three keys to success: flexibility, strong interpersonal skills, and commitment to the relationships.
The good news is that all of these skills can be learned. The bad news is that they need to be supported by post-adoption professionals and of now, these resources are lacking.
And although his findings didn't address the topic, the legal supports needed to resolve major disagreements between birth families and adoptive parents are also largely absent.
Still, Grotevant ends his findings on a high note. "Our research has shown impressive levels of resilience, capacity, and success for all involved in open adoptions as far as they have developed to date."
With all of the stereotypes and myths surrounding open adoption, hopefully his research will serve as a reality check and put people's questions and concerns in the proper context.
At the same time, open adoptions are still relatively new and evolving. It will be interesting to see how they — and the children at the centre of them — develop in the years to come.

The internet is buzzing with back-to-school lunch suggestions, organizational tips, and photo shoot ideas (so many chalkboards). Many of you found my Summer Calendar For Kids post a real lifesaver (it was pinned at least twice – my head is still spinning). So I thought I'd create a budget-friendly, simple, and nutritious meal plan for all those lunches we parents need to pack for our little darlings. Don't worry, I snuck in a little treat each day, because life should be enjoyed, right?
Busy families do not have time or energy to create a new lunchtime meal every day. To maximize simplicity I've carefully selected four items that will keep your offspring nourished and ready to learn.
You might be worried that your children will become bored with the same items each day. No. You can keep things fresh and exciting by cutting the cheese sandwiches into triangles, then squares, and if you're feeling really Pinterest-y, go ahead and try rectangles. Kids are easily duped.
Feeling a litte adventurous? Go ahead and swap out the apples for bananas. You be you.
Breakfast for the parent on the go. All in less than ten minutes.
Bryan's mom also simplified this process. Everyday for lunch, he received a jelly sandwich, chips, dessert, and some type of juice box. I guess he managed not to die, but the lack of fruits and vegetables still kills me. I have to eat what we have for lunch, so we have more varied fare. Plus, I can force them to eat vegetables.
Surprised the scurvy didn't get him.
You are pinning or have pinned these exceptionally brilliant Ida's right?
Is Ida taking credit for my stuff again?

... and for the absence of an M version.
It's a known fact the manual gearbox is dying a slow death in the sports car segment, but we have no one to blame but the very people shopping for these cars. Well, not all of them. The take rate for cars that have a three-pedal setup is decreasing year by year, with most customers deciding to go with an automatic transmission. BMW's man in charge of research and development, Klaus Fröhlich, explained in an interview with Road & Track why the new Z4 is offered exclusively with an eight-speed ZF auto.
There are two reasons why the shiny new soft-top convertible doesn't have a manual. Simply put, the sports car segment is shrinking and people buying these cars usually want an automatic. That's why it would not make a lot of financial sense to invest time and money in engineering a manual transmission for the Z4 since very few would actually buy it.
Full technical specifications released:
BMW Z4 sDrive20i, sDrive30i Detailed; M40i More Powerful In U.S.
The silver lining is Fröhlich does not completely rule out the possibility of adding a third pedal to the Z4, but it will only happen if customer preferences will change by reversing the trend to opt for a manual instead of an auto.
For the very same reasons, the chances of seeing a Z4 M are slim. Frohlich explained he had to make a lot of efforts to convince high-ranked folks from BMW to green light the regular version in the first place. A full-fat M version would be hard to justify, unless there's a sudden demand resurgence for sports cars.
That means people interested in a performance-oriented Z4 will have to settle for the next best thing, the M40i. It has a turbocharged inline-six 3.0-liter engine producing 355 horsepower in Europe where there are tighter emissions regulations. Technical specifications for the U.S. model will be out later this month and we're expecting the North American version to pack somewhere in the region 380 hp.
