Balancing act: Survey offers tips for keeping meetings short, productive
Nick White, Getty Images
Throughout my career, I've had a love/hate relationship with one unavoidable part of the average office worker's life: meetings.
As a reporter, I was often sent to cover meetings for the newspaper, handling everything from city councils and school boards to legislative committees and utility commissions. I've sat through hundreds of hours of such meetings, dutifully taking notes and searching for stories to write.
Occasionally I'd get a decent story out of a meeting. Sometimes I'd get an idea for an even better story. But often, I'd wonder why I went. I'd leave the meeting feeling frustrated, commenting to my sympathetic reporter wife, "There went another three hours of my life I'll never get back."
Flash forward a few years, and I became an editor, managing teams of writers. While still not a huge fan of meetings, I am now the person not only running them but also forcing others to attend them.
With this new perspective, I must grudgingly admit that meetings are not inherently evil. It's just that we rarely do meetings right, and that means we end up wasting precious time. For someone who is always looking for ways to improve his or her own work-life balance and to support others in their similar quests, such time-wasters are public enemy No. 1.
I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. For example, one woman on the team I manage now is so famously opposed to meetings that we've jokingly named the art of skipping a get-together after her.
For further evidence, I offer the results of a recent survey by Robert Half Management Resources, a provider of finance, accounting and business systems professionals on a project and interim basis. The survey, which was conducted by an independent research firm, was based on interviews with more than 400 U.S. office workers age 18 and older.
Those workers were initially asked, "In general, what percentage of the time you spend in meetings is wasted?" The mean response was 25 percent.
Would you agree that, for every hour you spend in a meeting, about 15 minutes is wasted? I probably would.
As a follow-up question, people were asked which mistakes meeting leaders most commonly made. Two responses tied for the top spot: "not having a clear purpose or agenda for the meeting" and "not sticking to an agenda." Those two were followed by "not ending on time," "not starting on time" and "inviting people who don't need to attend."
Before I go any further, I must confess that I've been guilty of all of these meeting sins. And I'll probably commit similar transgressions in the future.
However, I try to avoid these problems. When I started my new career about three years ago, I was holding a weekly one-hour meeting with my team. After a while, I realized that much of that time was filled with updates that could be handled in smaller groups, so I cut the meeting back to once every other week. I was thrilled to give my team the gift of time, and no one has ever complained that we're not meeting often enough.
Paul McDonald, senior executive director for Robert Half, said in a press release about the survey that misguided meetings can do more harm than good.
"An unnecessary or poorly conducted meeting can bring everyone down, because attendees feel like their time is not valued," he said. "Leaders can avoid this situation by clearly establishing the purpose of the discussion, ensuring the right people attend and providing them an opportunity to contribute."
Robert Half offered several tips for leading effective meetings in its press release and a related blog post, and I think many of them are worth sharing. For example:

We're moving into a post-PC world. With shipments of traditional computers slipping and the stocks of all companies involved tanking, it looks to be the beginning of the end for computers. Long live the tablet!
Tablets are great for lounging around at home with – for watching videos, checking your e-mail and favorite sites, playing a game or two to kill the time. But when it comes to work, which ones are the best to help you stay productive and get the most done?
(1) iPad mini ($329-$659) – This is the tablet to beat right now. You get everything you have come to know and love about iOS in a sleek and easy-to-carry 7" form factor. Why does size matter? First and foremost, you can type standing up. You do not need to put the iPad mini down to use it. It's small enough that you can tuck it in your pocket everywhere you go, yet still packs the same power that the iPad 2 has (which is a solid tablet in its own right). While it doesn't have Office, the App Store does offer Apple's iWork suite of Pages, Numbers and Keynote, each at a reasonable $10. If you're used to the Microsoft environment, it make take some getting used to when transitioning over, but mastery of this software will keep work productivity high. iPad is the most popular tablet on the market, which means it'll also be the most popular in the workplace. Another nice perk of buying an iPad for work is the ability to have one with built-in LTE. The downside to the iPad is the inability to add-on storage, but connecting to Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, iCloud or any other cloud solution solves the problem nicely. I have had an iPad mini since the day it came out. While I had very little use for a full-sized iPad, the mini's a keeper … for now.
(2) Microsoft Surface Pro ($899-$999, $999-$1129 with keyboard) – It's going to be hard to beat a tablet that was designed to replace a laptop. While Microsoft's Surface Tablet with Windows RT tanked when it was released in the fall (and rightfully so), the Surface Pro is the real deal. It runs the full version of Windows 8, which means any program you can install on your desktop or laptop can be installed here, too. That means Microsoft Office, which doesn't look like it'll hit Android or iOS until Fall 2014, but which you'll still have to buy separately here. There are two real downsides. The first is the cost – it's head and shoulders above most of the market when it comes to price. You can pick up the cheaper model (a 64 GB version) without a keyboard for $899, but you'll want the keyboard to maximize productivity and get the most out of the Surface. The other downside is that there's no option for LTE. Maybe on the Surface 2, but not yet.
(3) iPad 4th Gen ($499-$929) – iPad is the King of the tablet market for good reason. It seems as though most major mobile software is developed for iOS first, then ultimately ported to Android. Aside from form factor, every advantage that the iPad mini has over its competitors is true of the full-sized iPad as well. That means no Office, but the iWork suite. It means it'll be common in the workplace and easily used and incorporated. But it also means that there's no expandable storage. The full-sized iPad is far, far more powerful than the mini, and has a much better screen as well.
(4) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ($499-$549) – What list of electronics would be complete without an entry from Samsung? The Note 10.1 is another 10" Android tablet that's great for the workplace. While there is no first-party keyboard for the device (like there is for Surface or the Infinity), third-party Bluetooth keyboards work with it. What sets the Note 10 apart from most of the rest of the tablets on the market is its top-tier stylus. The S Pen, which Samsung uses in both its phone and tablets lines of products, is great when you need a precise touch. Working on a spreadsheet for a presentation in the morning? The S Pen has your back.
(5) Nexus 7 ($199-$299) – While the next-gen Nexus 7 should be hitting store shelves later this year at a cheaper price (and maybe even with LTE!), that doesn't mean you should pass over this little guy. At a 7" form factor, it's more portable than both the Surface and iPad… and it's much cheaper, too. At the $299 price point, you can get 3G coverage from either AT&T or T-Mobile, which is a nice feature, even if it's outdated by this point. (But staying connected on the go, however slowly, is still better than not staying connected at all.) If you're wondering why a cripled 7″ tablet is on my top five list for work tablets, I've got one word for you … price!
(6) COMING SOON: Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 ($399 for the Wifi version) – While the Wifi version hit store shelves on April 11, the LTE version isn't available, though Samsung says it's working on that. If the LTE version were available today, this would be the #1 tablet on this list. It has power… unlimited power: it's as powerful as the Galaxy Note 10 in a smaller form factor, with none of the issues. It comes with the same S Pen that makes the Note 10 shine. This product was aimed to take down the iPad mini, and when the LTE version comes out, that's exactly what it'll do.
Do you use a tablet for work? Which have you found works best?

There are a million factors that can influence each shot you take – and unless you're a trained photographer, you often just focus, click…and cross your fingers.Of course, you can take some of the ambiguity out of your picture-taking with this Hollywood Art Institute Photography Course & Certification package, now […]
Cool-looking study. Almost cool enough for me to forgive the use of the word "methylome" in the title. It's in the cue for later reading.
my understanding of epigenetic changes is that they are reactions
to a local environment and wouldn't be expected to persist as the
environment changed; That they are a mechanism for a population
to temporarily optimise for a local environment over a time scale
faster than DNA/protein mutation. But the science daily article seems to
suggest that the conventional opinion is/was that epigentic changes are
broadly persistent, is that really the case? Is there really such a consensus at this point?
Am I so out of touch with biology?
A classic 'yesbut'. As the methylation state is influencing local gene transcription, the methylation state of the current generation can have a very strong influence on the reproductive capability of that individual plant, and so even a short-lived transient change can exert a strong selective pressure. Selection also isn't affecting just that epigenetic change, but is occurring at the whole-genome level. Finally, it really matters what genes the modifications are influencing – even a transient shutdown for a few generations of a major DNA repair enzyme can lead to massive mutations at the DNA level, which will certainly have a significant effect on the long-term evolution of that plant's descendants.
She's arguing that the epigenetic changes themselves won't persist, and not the epigenetic mechanism, right?
Is there a reasonable consensus that the epigenetic mechanism(s) is the result of evolutionary selection? It seems reasonable to think that the ability to turn genes on and off in response to environmental changes is a very useful adaptation for a species, and would be selected for.
How could epigenetic mechanisms undermine evolution any more than having a complex nervous system does?
A nervous system with the capacity to develop new behaviors over time in response to environmental conditions is not considered a problem at all. How could a much more simple thing like a switch that turns off a gene in response to an environmental condition be a problem? Seems such a switch would be a nifty thing that would itself be subject to natural selection.
The difference between epigenetics and a complex nervous system is that the epigenetic changes can be inherited.
So the classic study of (I think) Scandinavian farmers who experienced a famine having "genetically" heavier grandchildren. Or verious epigenetic differences in the grandchildren of smokers vs non-smokers.
That fact that it can be inherited makes it very different, although this paper seems to be arguing that it doesn't make a big difference in the long term.
Maggie, you're mistaken about what epigenetic variation is. It's not "what happens when an environmental trigger turns genes on and off, or makes them express differently".
Epigenetic variation consists of differences (among people) in the occurrence of chemical groups (e.g. methylation) attached to DNA, rather than differences in DNA sequence.

Audie Award Winner, Fiction, 2014
Audie Award Nominee, Solo Narration - Male, 2014
Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special 12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless - mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the "steam" that children with the "shining" produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant "shining" power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep."
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.
©2013 Stephen King (P)2013 Simon & Schuster
"Will Patton's delivery enhances King's prose in ways that make King's work so much more enjoyable in audio than just reading it…Patton's narrative voice captures the rhythm of King's words. His character voices, filled with a variety of regional American accents, remain consistent. Most importantly, the sinister aspects that embody characters and moments of this novel are superbly executed and will certainly leave listeners on edge." (AudioFile)
"King, not one given to sequels, throws fans a big, bloody bone with this long-drooled-for follow-up to The Shining." (Booklist)
"…a gripping, taut read that provides a satisfying conclusion to Danny Torrance's story." (Publisher's Weekly)
Say something about yourself!
"pretty great on all fronts"
The performance is outstanding. Just outstanding. The story is really fun to listen to because it brings back memories of The Shining I didn't know I had. I read that book as a young girl and it had a big impact. So, this was really great.
Utility Infielder
"Will Patton makes this work"
Will Patton's ability to convey emotion and range without going "over the top" is remarkable.
A mom who has no time to pick up a book. Before being a mom I had a book on me at all times or was reading all the time.
"Better then I thought it would be"
blew my mind
How King made me feel like This book was real and not fiction
His voice did not drone on and his voice changed with different parts
yes. and I wished i could of
"Good King with the typical flaws"
I'm glad Stephen King decided to follow up on the life of Danny Torrance. Both the novel and the movie are among my favorites growing up. The story is good and entertaining for the most part, but nothing that happens is really surprising or different from other King stories. Other than Danny and Abra, I really wasn't grabbed by the other characters.
It's also a little long...could have been cut down by a couple hours...but this is typical for King. The name of the book is not fitting to the storyline...Danny's "Dr. Sleep", while important, isn't the main driver of the story.
If you are a fan of King...this is worth the read. If you are not, or are not familiar with "The Shining" novel, then you may want to pass.
For fans of Will Patton...he is excellent, as usual.
"Awesome Sequel"
Yes! It draws you in and makes you feel all warm and cozy, then it hits you over the head with a sack of marbles.
The meeting at Cloud Gap and the ensuing fight.
Abra and Dan fighting Rose The Hat at the Overlook
The nightmares have come to life again!
Fantastic sequel from the Master Storyteller. Dan Torrance is a fully believable character and the struggles he deals with feel real and gritty, full of life. The story quietly forces you to care about the characters and the reader's performance draws you into the story even deeper than I thought possible. I have listened to it several times and I normally do no re-listen to my audiobooks.
"Another great 18 hours"
I end up endearing myself to not only the story, but the story teller as well and while I think Will Patton is an EXCELLENT actor, I so thoroughly enjoyed listening to him read my favorite author and he was exceptional at it.
The mental link between Abra and Dan
Dan Torrence
Oh yes! I had to stop go back and say "WHAT"! Great gotcha moment when we found out that they were related.
Stephen King is hands down my favorite author since I was a teenager and I'm in my 50s now. He is one of my comfort foods that was able to grow and age with me. I've moved from curling up in bed reading, to listening on long car rides while visiting my foster kids. I'm a GAL, court appointed special advocate. I travel my county to visit my kids. I don't have much time to curl up anymore, but I still have Mr. King. Thank you all for your questions.
"Closing a 40-year chapter"
Yes, because who doesn't want to know whatever happened to Danny Torrance?
The Shining, because it's the sequel to it.
He's just so good! Any voice is great and the delivery in between dialogue is perfect.
Don't you want to know what happened to Danny Torrance?
Avid listener & reader, love a variety of genres, generally have 4 or five books downloaded & switch them depending on my mood.
"Perfect to follow the book the Shining!"
Read "the Shining" it's so much better than any of the movies. Doctor Sleep follows it perfectly.
"A surprising, emotional sequel to "The Shining""
strong, patient storytelling
stephen king really builds good relationships in doctor sleep, even the new heroes get a well-rounded backstory that makes their decisions more effective and give them more emotional weight
everything, patton was absolutely awesome, i firmly believe listening to patton is the best way to experience this book
well, danny is the bridge between the shining and this sequel, and he is very compelling, his story of redemption is the most surprising thing about this book, i actually cried at the end, didn't expect that
this could have been a disaster, but king really delivers a great sequel. I will say that the villains here are a bit cartoonish, and the climatic battle is over in just a couple of pages, but the real strength of the book is the relationship between danny and the other characters with the shining. that is smartly the focus of the majority of the book and it is very poignant and effective
Immigration lawyer in Kansas City. I like Character driven dramas, fantasy (monsters, magic and witches oh my!) and coming of age stories. Favs include: The Book Thief, The Game of Throne series, Harry Potter Series, Dresden Files, Nightside series, anything by Neil Gaimen, 100 Years of Solitude.
"Can't stop loving Stephen King"
I love that this book brings back one of my all time favorite Stephen King Characters, Danny Torrence. I always wondered what happened to him
I could have listened to thins book all the way through without stopping, but on the other hand I didn't want it to end. I have often wondered where in the Stephen King Universe Danny Torrance and his Shine ended up and now I know. I didn't want it to end.
Since I read IT locked in the bathroom because I was so terrified and loved every minute of it when I was 11 I have devoured every Stephen King book I could get my hands on. This one did not disappoint. Loved it so much.

Clark Family Homes
Posted in the Milan Forum
#1 Apr 28, 2012
I have been in some new buildings built by Clark Family Homes. I was at 3 different sites while they was being built and seen so many wrong things being covered up. Large cracks in concrete floor, plumbing being done wrong ect.. I have talked to the same 3 owners after it was complete and they moved in and was told that they was having problems with leaks, drain problems, driveway issues as in curb too high and car would drag if they tried to enter the driveway. Seems like they are cutting corners as much as possible on their building as long as they can cover it up.
#2 Apr 28, 2012
Must be talking about creek side or willow trace,i know if you are in a car you will rip the bottom outta your car at wiillow trace
#3 Apr 28, 2012
Heard it all myself. Cheap cheap cheap
#4 May 4, 2012
Owner is very rude,
United States
#5 May 7, 2012
Years ago I lived in a double wide home and I can assure you that it was built better than Clark Family Homes are now. They won't repair any of their mess ups. It is a brick home but that is the only good thing. They are as cheaply built as possible. The reason the curb is so high is they are saving money by not digging ditches. The street is the means on dealing with the water drainage. Just hope that you are not at the lower end of the street. The water will end up in your yard, that is if you have a yard. Most of their homes the yards are so small and hardly any backyard at all.
#6 May 19, 2012
I messed up the transmission cover under my car turning into my driveway. I ask why they can't make the entry better and he never would rely
United States
#7 Jun 7, 2012
Good Luck on getting help fixing things. After the builder leaves you are on your own. They say they will fix things but they won't. You better learn how to to plumbing too.
#8 Jun 9, 2012
So, CFH won't fix your housing woes? Go figure. Yes, cheap as possible is an understatement. The less money spent on building your house, the more can be spent on an island far, far away. Ahh, the good life. DTB is no different on construction methods. He is, however, different on vacations though. Crack the whip, cut your sub contracting prices, and purchase cheap materials. Get it built as fast and cheap as possible is the game. In return, you get a house that meets minimum, bare minimum, code requirements, and assurance that it will stand the test of time..after you get everything fixed when the warranty runs out. They maintain they're standard of living by raising house prices and cutting the profit margin of subs. I'm sure you've heard the adage, "You get what you pay for"...well, that's no longer true. Typical of small town corporate America....LOL.
#9 Oct 15, 2012
"they was building" LOL obviously you are some of their competition and can't use correct grammer, much less know how to build a house. They build great homes and you don't know what you are talking about. Curbs are dictated by City Standards, not the builder.
#10 Oct 19, 2012
Steriod Murphy started this on Topix. He doesn't like Kevin Clark! Steve can't get Kevin Mayor election vote in Medina!
#11 Oct 26, 2012
The bad built homes are there. All someone has to do is look. Or ask an owner now. They can tell you how many problems they are having. And as far as the curbs being so bad that small cars can't even use the drive without dragging the car that is true too. Once again just drive up the road and see it. And if curbs are dictated by City code then why aren't other builders curbs so bad????
They are homes built as cheap as possible
#12 Nov 4, 2012
Let's get a few things right. The curb hight has nothing to do with city codes, it is up to the developer has control over that. As far as the quailty and "cheap" homes being built by Clark, and DTP,I know all to well. Those contractors sub everything out, eerything! All they do is drive around and write checks. The past few years the codes have changed alot. With all of the seismic codes now, the homes are better built. Some contractors are btter about warrany, I work for a contractor and do warranty calls. Concrete cracks are ok, only when one side sinks lower than the other, then u have a problem. Most cracks are from to much water in the mix when being poored. Clark Family Homes are a running joke amoung the construction trades, They are all about how many they build not how good. With the recession it has pretty much done away with bad contractors and one's who weren't serious about it.
#13 Nov 9, 2012
No one with any sence is going to believe you. Posts are written by competition or sub contractors that have been replaced. Maybe even the same person writing them all. The developer does the curb heights as drawn in plans by a civil engineer. No new subdivisions have ditches only rural areas. If your car drags get metal plates over the curb. Drive through any subdivision and the owners with corvettes or other sports cars have done this. I am a sub contractor that have worked for Kevin Clark and Dave Bunny in the past. I'm not a big fan of either of them but crying about things you know nothing about on topix shows your very low class. No house is perfect and if your complaints had any relavance at all im sure they would be addressed. These guys have been in business for a long time for a reason. So go on and build your two perfect houses a year and leave everyone else alone.
#14 Nov 10, 2012
Empire State Building was built in 15 months.
#15 Nov 11, 2012
I have been in a lot of subdivisions and none have the curb so high the people can't use the drive safely. And most have drainage problems. The yards flood so easy, that is if they are lucky enough to have much of a yard at all. Once again just drive around and look for yourself!!! The homes in front of Temple in Milan have a curb but not so high that you can't use the driveway. But the real problem is the homes being built so cheap and the cutting corners by the builder. No lights in closets, no vent above stove to pull the heat/smoke out, concrete floor is not level. Doors don't seal and not installed properly. Just cutting corners.
United States
#16 Nov 11, 2012
Have a couple comments on your post. First learn how to spell if your dealing with warranty claims that should entail some type of written communication. Nothing makes an impression like someone that is there to assist yet can't spell. "water in the mix when being poored" thats a good one, correct spelling should be "poured" Here,s a hint for you, all those red lines appearing as you type is SPELL CHECK.
Second you state concrete cracks are okay. Truth is they are never acceptable,several years down the road issues such as that have been determined to be an entry point for radon gas,plus left unattended that small crack you see today will enlarge itself overtime leading to a collapse or settling of the home. Example a door that in past had no issues on opening or closing now seems to bind and stick.
The real reason new homes have cracks in the concrete walls and floor is most often the fill dirt was pushed against the foundation to soon, the ideal time to wait before doing so would be 30 days but with builders on a time line, not happening. Builders have the practice of pour it today backfill it tomorrow, that isn't enough time for the concrete to cure leading to stress pressure exerted against uncured concrete.
#17 Nov 18, 2012
You really don't have a clue. If half ur comment is about my spelling, get over it. When I'm typeing this out their isn't no little red lines under miss spelled words. I'm in construction not a teacher. You show me any slab that doesn't have cracks. Go to Walmart or lowes u wil still cracks in the slab. As for backfilling to soon is crap.I have build houses only two blocks high, tamped three differant times, and still have minor cracks after the poor. Either the mixture was off or cured to fast.
United States
#18 Nov 24, 2012
Have no clue. Heres a clue, You say- Quote " I have build houses only two blocks high" Those two blocks high in construction is referred to as a "STEM WALL" Come on The Fact get it together if your going to be in construction talk like it, you say your not a teacher on spelling 'well what about the construction lingo' going to take a pass on that one also.
Have no clue why you refer to Walmart or Lowes about slab cracks, Are they supposed to be at state of the art on construction? I think not, those building's house there goods for market to the public and nothing else. Were talking about residential homes around 2 to 3 thousand square feet not mega box stores around 300 to 500 hundred thousand square feet.
In the future if your still pondering the slab cracks. You say too wet of a mixture. Then the alternative would be to perform a SLUMP test on the concrete when it arrives on site, that would eliminate any question of a bad batch. Another fault to lay the blame with cracks in slab would be the soil wasn't compacted enough or the rebar was not sufficient, or the soil needed a base under it such as gravel or blue dust. In essence if you do your home work prior to pouring the concrete down all the cracks in concrete would and could be eliminated. SLUMP TEST is quite simple and easy to perform, before concrete is poured, although many variables at work producing concrete cracks.
In summary your last statements conflicts. You say- Quote " Either the mixture was off or cured to fast" Which is it, if the mixture had to much water then it cured to fast meaning it did not have enough water. Either too much or too little water, move past that water deal and concentrate on the other variables. And by the way again a SLUMP TEST will take all the guess work out of the water issue.

Stories emerge of people supposed to be on MH17
In the days following the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, stories are emerging about people who intended to be on the flight, but for whatever reason did not board, ABC News reports .
Australian newlyweds Simone La Posta and Juan Jovel were supposed to fly back from their honeymoon on MH17, but they decided to leave a day earlier.
"We are feeling lucky but at the same time our hearts bleed for these families that are expecting their loved ones to come back," Jovel told ABC News.
Another family -- Barry and Izzy Sim and their baby son -- had to change flights because there weren't enough seats.
"You get this sick feeling in the pit of your stomach," Barry Sim told ABC News. "So yes, just... we started getting butterflies. Your heartbeat starts going."
Dutch cyclist Maarten de Jonge was not only scheduled to fly on MH17, but also intended to be on MH370, the flight that went missing in March, ABC reported .
In both cases, de Jonge ended up changing his flight at the last minute, according to a Netherlands public broadcaster RTV Oost .
"What has happened is terrible, so many victims, that's a horrible thing," de Jonge said in a translated statement on his website . "I have my story done and I would like to leave it ... my story is ultimately nothing compared to the misery in which so many people are paid."
De Jonge told RTV Oost that he plans on flying to Malaysia soon, and he's not worried about the flight.
