Debunking the Penang transport masterplan 'spin'
No Comments on Debunking the Penang transport masterplan 'spin'
Why is the state ignoring hard scientific evidence and still opting to bulldoze through the excessive highway constructions at all costs, asks Roger Teoh.
This article on the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) is in response to state representative and Penang Island Municipal Council (MBPP) councillor Chris Lee's letter to the editor 'The PTMP and social justice to Penang's society'.
First of all, I would express my gratitude to the Penang state government for finally acknowledging and responding to one of my articles. The statements highlighted in bold below are extracts from state representative and MBPP councillor Chris Lee's article.
Setting aside my DAP membership and voicing my concerns as an independent academic, I will be analysing these statements in turn and leave it to the intelligence of Penangites to formulate their own judgements on the PTMP. Most importantly, I believe Penangites deserve the right to be accurately informed with the true blueprint and consequences of the proposed PTMP.
"There are 151km of planned public transport encompassing LRT, monorail, BRT and tram; while only 72km of strategic bypasses, cross channel link and missing local roads are proposed"
As of now, the Penang state government has made many amendments to the proposed PTMP, with cost ballooning after each iteration (the latest estimate of the PTMP is over RM50bn). These changes affect not only the delivery timetable but also the financing costs and feasibility of the overall plan.
With so much uncertainties, it appears to the public that only Phase 1 of the PTMP can be practically delivered, which consist of one 17.5km LRT line (Penang International Airport-Komtar) and 42km of new highways (Penang Undersea Tunnel, PIL 1, PIL 2/2A and North Coast Pair Road). Even the cost of PIL 1 has risen from RM6bn to RM8bn.
Furthermore, the proposed financing model based on payment from sale of reclaimed land is precarious as the property market is facing strong headwinds in Malaysia and globally. Poor market sentiments will affect land prices and land sale, that will in turn impact on the implementability of subsequent PTMP phases.
With all these changes and uncertainties, it is extremely misleading for MBPP councillor Chris Lee to include future public transport lines in his figures as they are purely concepts with an uncertain and non-committal implementation timeline.
As a consequence of implementing only Phase 1 of the PTMP, it is statistically forecasted that public transport quality and modal share will deteriorate indefinitely until these future urban rail lines are constructed. Since one LRT line is insufficient to be regarded as a viable alternative to the car, the so-called "safety net" by Chris Lee might only be available after 2030, or even not at all.
"Claims of excessive focus on highways are over-dramatised, as the proposed highways are needs-based to improve road hierarchy and enhance the efficiency of local and regional traffic diversion"
The description of "excessive highways" is proven on the basis of statistical analysis relative to other cities around the world. At present day, Penang Island has 82.9km of highways (108.1 metres of highway per 1,000 people), and 0km of public transport routes with a dedicated-right-of-way.
Since road traffic vehicles are expected to increase as a direct consequences of excessive highway building, how will the Penang state government solve parking problems in an urban core with limited land space?
To make matters worse, highways are investments with diminishing returns as it does not holistically solve urban transportation woes which traffic congestion is moved downstream to its exits and within dense urban centres.
These concerns are highlighted and explained in my first article 'An independent review for an optimised PTMP', which was written almost a month ago and still awaiting the Penang state government to address these problems raised.
In other words, highways proposed by the PTMP are a waste of public funds with little value for money. These limited funds available should be used more efficiently and effectively by redistributing it towards constructing more urban rail systems.
"Highways also cater for other forms of transport such as buses and motorcycles. Would one not turn to bus and motorcycle if one cannot afford to drive a car?"
It is absolutely true that poorer Penangites will be able to satisfy their mobility needs through the use of motorcycles. However, is this really the outcome desired by the Penang state government?
Looking at statistics on global transport safety, motorcyclists have the highest fatality risks when compared to all other modes of road transport with 1,640 deaths per billion journeys. Conversely, urban rail (trams, LRT and metro) is one of the safest modes of transport at 20 deaths per billion journeys.
Putting it into context, motorists are 82 times more likely to die in a road accident when compared to a commuter using a rail-based public transport. According to the Malaysian Digest, there were 321 road deaths in Penang in 2015, with motorcyclists accounting for 70 per cent of road accidents (around four motorcyclist deaths a week).
Hence, do we really want poorer Penangites to increase motorcycle usage at the expense of an unacceptable increased risk of fatality?
While the Penang state government is expected to rebut this fact by highlighting the inclusion of motorcycle lanes in the proposed highways, transport safety is only improved marginally as motorists are only protected on that particular stretch of road, and not their entire journey.
Well, what about buses? Ask yourself, would you take the bus if journey times are two to three times longer relative to a motorcycle or a car? This is also the main reason why more urban rail lines are desperately needed in Penang to reduce the door-to-door travel time difference between public transport and private motorcars, making public transport more attractive.
"In the argument on higher GDP per capita that European countries have as compared to car-centric North American countries, it is still open for debate whether the productivity rate of those cities is due to transportation or other economic factors."
Chris Lee correctly pointed out that urban transportation is not the only contributing factor causing European cities having a higher GDP per capita than car-centric North American cities. However, the right transportation system adopted by a city is still crucial and plays a significant role in boosting its economic productivity.
For example, travellers using public transport will still be able achieve a limited amount of economic productivity while commuting such as replying to emails, working with laptops/tablets on trains, etc. These activities are taken into account in public transport economic appraisals in the UK, which the value of time and loss of economic productivity while commuting is scaled down.
In addition, there are also lots of secondary knock-on effects and wider-economic benefits through mass transit and urban rail developments, such as social agglomeration and increased liveability in contribution to a higher GDP per capita in a city.
At this point, there is indeed ongoing research at Imperial College London in attempt to monetise and quantify these additional benefits and positive knock-on effects gained through an increased emphasis on rail-based public transport. I am absolutely certain that these wider economic benefits are not taken into account in economic appraisals produced by cities in developing countries such as Penang.
Nevertheless, the argument of building more road building to boost economic development in Penang is totally unjustified. It is just a matter of investing in the right transport infrastructure such as urban rail, which will allow economic development to be amplified and achieved more effectively.
Why is the state disregarding statistical evidences?
In conclusion, since transport studies are largely based on empirical data, the best way to formulate the most effective and efficient transport policies for Penang is to adopt an evidence-based policy methodology similar to developed countries.
Note that I have been using quantitative evidences and case studies to support my key points. I hope the Penang state government will also follow suit and improve the quality of this healthy debate by using data and statistics to justify its claims.
Most importantly, why is the state ignoring hard scientific evidence and still opting to bulldoze through the excessive highway constructions at all costs? If the Penang state government is truly committed in solving urban transportation woes for all Penangites, it needs to move away from its defensive mentality and be open to new ideas to holistically solve these deficiencies for a better PTMP.

Since 1953, when the Alaskan Way viaduct opened to traffic, Seattle has been separated from its downtown waterfront. As head of the city's Office of the Waterfront since 2014, Marshall Foster has made it his mission to undo that 65-year-old error. When it's finished, the waterfront project will include a new tunnel bypassing downtown Seattle, a reconnected street grid, a replacement for the crumbling seawall and a new promenade to Pike Place Market. And Foster, an implacable leader who has spent the past decade steering the project through controversies and building bridges between sometimes warring stakeholders, will deserve much of the credit.

During her high school career, she worked on five shows as stage crew. For one show, she worked as the student director.


Retailers, as well as the wider rational population, breathed a small sigh of relief on Thursday when Business Secretary Vince Cable announced that the Government will slash the burden of bureaucracy by removing over half the existing regulations faced by the industry as part of the ongoing 'Red Tape Challenge'. These long overdue reforms will consign 130 ineffective and needless restrictions to the scrapheap. The move has been welcomed as a step towards a freer, friendlier and hopefully more profitable retail sector.
Regulation has always been a drain on business time and resources, but it's especially absurd when the Government enforce costly restrictions that yield little or no benefit to employees, customers or the environment. This was evident in the law requiring shops selling chocolate liqueurs to have a full alcohol licence, or the time-wasting rules of safe pencil use. It's common sense to scale back on laws like this, and get rid of redundant ones that no longer apply. It will also boost short term confidence for smaller retailers in particular.
The move should only be the start of tackling the major burdens on business, and a great deal of work remains to be done. Regulation will still be excessive and burdensome after yesterday's announcement is made reality. Opportunities for job creation continue to be missed, and consumers continue to be short changed. In truth, this announcement merely skirted the edges of the obstacles in the way of small businesses. Cutting entrenched bureaucracy is easier said than done; it has been promised before and was promised by both parties in the Coalition's Programme for Government, but efforts must be stepped up so that actions speak louder than rhetoric.
If anything, new regulations lingering like dark clouds on the horizon will make things tougher, worsened by incoming directives from Brussels. For example, the forthcoming EU Directive on agency staff will have a devastating impact on the ability of firms to make sensible business decisions. This measure has been estimated to single-handedly add £40 billion to the costs to British businesses in the next 10 years, putting yesterday's announcement chillingly into perspective.
As business leaders acknowledge, the time for positive gestures has passed. Now is the time to deal with the major barriers that stand between the incentives of the market and the ability of firms to respond. Additions to the bureaucratic mountain must be resisted. Yesterday's announcements are welcome but must be the first move of a much more drastic scaling back of regulations. As Matthew Sinclair pointed out on Monday, excessive regulations hit small firms particularly hard and if we want them to grow, create jobs and wealth, and help boost that much-discussed 0.2 per cent growth figure, then the Government must get off their backs and let them get on with it.Retailers, as well as the wider rational population, breathed a small sigh of relief on Thursday when Business Secretary Vince Cable announced that the Government will slash the burden of bureaucracy by removing over half the existing regulations faced by the industry as part of the ongoing 'Red Tape Challenge'.

Review: Mazda 3
Mazda has just announced that the new MPS version of the Mazda 3 will be sold only through a select band of dealers.
So presumably the plebs who don't live anywhere near these special dealers will be left only with a choice of lesser models if they don*t want to travel to avail themselves of the hot and sporty version.
But do not be alarmed. I often find that less is more with cars like this. You don't really need to have the all singing, all dancing model to get the pick of the range and anyway the only reason these cars are made half the time is for their halo effect. You see one or read about it, think it sounds not half bad, and then trot along to the showroom where you sign up for the basic 1.6 petrol model.
Is the public really that gullible? I'd like to think not but cash-strapped makers would hardly be going along this route if they didn't think it worked. True, they had all got a long way down the development road before the recession hit but it's still cheaper to cancel a model before you make it rather than after you have thousands of unsold examples sitting in compounds waiting for buyers.
A clear demonstration that the strategy works is that many enthusiasts are talking about the Ford Focus RS even though you can't get this 300 bhp super hatch for love nor money for months to come. The hope for Ford is that once motorists read the reviews and see how everyone says the standard Focus is a great handling car they will nip down to a showroom and sign up for a Focus Style instead.
With Mazda, you'll be looking for a £13,500 1.6 S five door although it might be a better idea to go to a slightly classier model if you like a bit of comfort. Mazda is claiming that even the basic model will be worth more than its rivals after three years and 60,000 miles according to data from independent leasing companies, the people who analyse every last penny they spend on every car they buy and know at precisely what mileage a car should be moved on.
The car joined the Mazda line-up in June but there won't have been too many registered until September as most buyers will have waited for the 59 number plates to arrive before collecting their new cars.
We've been driving the 1.6 petrol TS2, a £15,500 combination that's not offered in the restricted range of four door Mazda 3 models. Many people might be tempted to flash a bit more cash on the diesel, but at £16,960 it's going to take an awful lot of mileage to account for the difference through lower running costs. The average driver will be far better off saving on the initial outlay, and potential interest if the money is borrowed, and plump for the petrol car.
Certainly from my experience I would say the petrol engine makes a pretty good choice. It may not be so frugal with its 35.5 mpg fuel average but for most people covering 250 to 300 miles a week it will probably do the trick. If you care about such things, you can always set yourself the challenge of trying to coax it up to 40 mpg by adapting your driving style.
Don't go to extremes, though, and cause motorway chaos by crawling along at a slow pace in the rush hour. I had a neighbour who used to drive like that going back a fair time and his car was always at the head of the queue on the way to work.
The Mazda 3 makes a fairly good job of fulfilling the role of family hatchback. I don't think the styling is as exciting as it used to be when Mazda called the car the 323 but if what you want is competence then you might be willing to overlook the lack of dramatic metalwork.
As with previous Mazdas, I found the interior a bit black and gloomy but the standard of finish was up to the mark compared with our own Ford Focus. Despite Mazda chasing the fleet market these days, its cars still make an interesting left field choice. If you want to be different, then this new 3 is worth a look.

Re: More than one thumbnail displayed on the same line?
In the event 8. feb. I have made an event with 3 thumbnails aside.
In the event they are placed on the same line.
You will see them aside both when hovering the event, and when viewing the event.
If it is in the display you mean, then you could use display1.
In display1 it is possible to have 2 thumbnails on same line.
If you put the one thumbnail in extratext1 and the other in extratext 2, then youwill have the one thumbnail to the left - then the text and then the 2. thumbnail to the right.
… again show on different lines.
I'm sure it's obvious - to everyone - except me (alas).
There is no separator other than space.
Open the event window. In the description box you write the text you want.
Then when it comes to the thumbnails : Still with the event-window open, then click on the thumbnail in the dropdown. You should then see some thumbnails.
Left-click on one of them. Pressing ALT+TAB you go back to the event-window. Place the cursor where you want the image to be. CTRL+V to insert the thumbnail. Then ALB+TAB to go back to the thumbnails. Pick another thumbnail .... and so on.
If you insert the thumbnails on the same line ( no RETURN) then you should see them on the same line.
It is actually not the thumbnails you insert, but the name - the calendar will convert the name to an image when viewed in the event.
Again .. thanks ... I do appreciate the help. I do exactly as you say - but the icons appear one over the other (2 lines) - not side by side. Very strange ??
You could then create a user that had access to own events - and then send me the login details - not here - in the contact-form.
I could then log on and try in your calendar. My testcalendar is a beta of the latest version.
I had a careful look and it appears that when on the Settings page, under Views, "Show images in month view" is not checked, then in the hover box with event details, thumbnails are shown next to each other, which is fine. However, if "Show images in month view" has been checked, in the day cells in Month view the images are shown under each other.
change line 49 from . . .
In other words: delete ."<br>"
Now the thumbnails will be shown in line (if they are not too wide and fit).
PS. I will change this is the next calendar version.
That has fixed it. Many thanks to you both for finding the little devil and making me happy. Best wishes, John.


Tonight I attended a football match to promote awareness of the White Ribbon Campaign.
As a long term supporter of the White Ribbon campaign I was pleased to attend tonight's event. The White Ribbon campaign is about men saying that violence against women is unacceptable. That message is crucial today. There can never be an excuse for violence against women. It should not be condoned in any way, shape, or form.
I would like to congratulate all those involved in organising tonight's match and all those who took part in the match. One team was made mostly of ex Dundee United players, although Barry Smith of Dundee FC was playing for them as well, the other team was made up of supporters of the White Ribbon campaign.
This afternoon I attended a meeting of the City Council's Scrutiny Committee. There was a very good report on community learning in the area covered by the catchment area of Braeview Academy. The report raised a slight concern about involving young people in representative structures. For example, the average of a Community Councillor is apparently 63 years old. I know that the council has done a lot of work with young people such as through the Youth Council.
I asked a question about the report on Braeview Academy. The report talked about Curriculum for Excellence and the school working with partners on this issue. The headteacher spoke about the various partnerships the school was involved in, teaching young people subjects like hairdressing and car mechanics. Curriculum for Excellence is an important change in the education sector, the City Council's Education Department are confident that Dundee's schools are prepared I hope that they are correct in this assertion.
There was a report on the corporate performance of council with regard to the visitor numbers to council supported museums. The refurbishment of the McManus Galleries has been an outstanding success. After an initial spike in numbers in the year 2010-11 number have fallen back a bit in 2011-12. I asked if numbers were up on the position prior to the closure of the McManus Galleries. I was pleased to hear that visitor numbers are up from the period pre-closure. I also asked about how Leisure & Culture Dundee were working in partnership with the V & A, I knew that everyone in the committee is looking forward to this world-class British institution opening in Dundee but it is important that the V & A should not be to detriment of our other cultural attractions. I was reassured that work is underway which will build partnerships with the V & A. The recent exhibition of Cecil Beaton photographs of the Queen was a start of this process and more is on the way.
Today I attended a site visit to the new schools in the West End at Blackness Road. The schools, St Joseph's, a replacement for Park Place Primary and for Park Place Nursery. It was good to see that progress is being made on the building. They appear to be on track for the schools opening after the October holidays this year. The schools will certainly be different from their current settings. I hope that they are an improvement and that the moves to these schools is successful for everyone involved.
The pictures here show the outside of the schools from Blackness Road. The green room is the new gym hall and the other picture is of a classroom.
I want the new schools to be a success when they open. These schools opening on this site will also have an impact on the local community in this part of the West End. I am working with the council to try and ensure that disruption is minimised and that children can get to and from the school as safely as possible.
I recently met with the Dr Jim McGeorge, the University Secretary at the University of Dundee. It was good to hear about the work of the University and what it is doing in the local area. I was able to update him on what is happening in the West End.
It is important that the university is a good neighbour. It is such a big institution that it is inevitable that problems occur from time to time. Generally I find that the University is quick to deal with issues that arise and is always keen to find a solution.
It is also really important that the city recognises the importance of the University to Dundee's economy and reputation. The City Council needs to be sure that it is supporting the university when it can.
I am happy to raise concerns anyone has with the University, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Tonight I was at the last meeting of this term of the Development Management Committee, this was a very brief meeting. There was a very brief agenda, and the Convener thanked all the staff who had helped run the fifty-something meetings of the committee since 2007.
Today I have said that there is no place for Loan Sharks in Dundee. I was responding to claims by Tayside Police that Loan Sharks were operating in Dundee and that this was leading to other crimes such as shop-lifting. I believe that there should be a wide range of financial solutions available to people across the city, such as credit unions. I'm also concerned that changes to welfare provision from the Conservative/Liberal Democrat Government will lead people into more financial hardship.
There can be place for Loan Sharks in Dundee. The police, the council, voluntary organisations and financial organisations should be ensuring that there are viable alternatives to loan sharks right across the city.
I support credit unions and I think that the council should be looking to see what extra we can do to support Discovery Credit Union so that it can take its work right across the city. Credit Unions offer low-cost loans to people and hopefully keep them out of the hands of loan sharks. We also need to be sure that people understand credit and what they will have to pay back if they take out credit.
There are also problems caused by banks, some of which we own, withdrawing their services from large parts of the community, as we have seen with bank closures in Dundee over the past couple of years.
Everyone must do all we can to stop loan sharks operating in Dundee. These people exploit other people's misery and cause more problems than they solve.
I welcome movement on improving Dundee Station. The SNP Administration brought forward proposals to the very last meeting of the current council to be held on 23rd April 2012.
I have long been campaigning for this investment in my ward. It is essential that Dundee has a rail station which is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. I am pleased that progress is being made at long last. Regenerating our city is important and the whole Waterfront development will go some way towards doing this. Improving the station will have an impact on people across the city and will also give visitors to our city a warm welcome. The current station is a very poor advert for our great city. I am glad that the plans suggest keeping much of the Victorian infrastructure at platform level, I have to say though that these could do with a little bit of a revamp and I hope that this will be included in the project.
I call upon Network Rail to invest in our city and in the rail infrastructure of our country and come up with the final £2.2 million to make the project possible.
We should be investing in the rail network and supporting greater use of Dundee Station. I was glad when the Scottish Government recently scrapped their daft plan not to have through trains to or from Dundee to England. We also need to promote new services, such as the Tay Estuary Rail Scheme and we need to look at more regular services to Scotland's other cities. I hope that the refurbished station will be a transport hub for the city and that it will have much better links with the City Centre and West End than at present. I hope it will have better links with buses than at present and I hope that taxis will be catered for in the new station.
I hope that this overdue investment in our city will happen sooner rather than later and that it will be a great success for our city.
The photograph shows Jim McGovern MP and myself campaigning for improvements to the station.
I have responded to reports of vandalism at the McManus Galleries. As the councillor who took the lead in the refurbishment of the McManus I am sickened by vandalism to this important part of Dundee's heritage. It is disgraceful that anyone would vandalise this beautiful building. The McManus belongs to the people of Dundee so it is likely that in some sense whoever has done this has done it to their own property. This has caused as much as £2,500 worth of damage. There are much better things that £2,500 could be spent on than repairing the work of vandals. I hope that those who are responsible are caught.
Anyone with information should speak to Tayside Police on 0300 111 2222.
Only recently I visited the excellent FCB Caddell exhibition at the McManus.


We live in a world where we can acquire every substance what a human organism needs to sustain itself. Unfortunately, a lot of them are made by a chemical process, or even worse, by trying to remake it synthetically. We people as every other living and breathing organism on this planet survived thousands of years adapting to our surroundings, to our environment, by consuming natural, organic food like plants and animals. Even though we have evolved with every generation, our body can't put up with the speed of today's forever advancing technology. Genetically modified foods (GMO), chemically processed foods (ex: soy), can cause all kind of health issues in the long term. Food is what keeps us alive, you're body changes after your eating habits.
Now days, as people have less and less time, they always try to achieve everything faster, and unfortunately, its the same thing with the preparation and intake of food too. The majority of people are more likely eat fast foods or use some kind of flavored sauce instead of getting that flavor from eating vegetables, they tend to drink soft-drinks with artificial sweeteners rather then drinking or preparing some fruit juice that has all the vitamins and minerals they need. Remember, just because you can get it faster, does not mean its better then something you make your self a little bit slower!

The Athletics have all the pieces for a World Series title run
Alex Martin, Reporter|September 27, 2020
Julian Mendoza
A photo of a Chico State baseball player on Feb. 18
The Oakland Athletics are going back to the playoffs for the third year in a row, but for the first time as a division winner since 2013. With the coronavirus pandemic still around, Major League Baseball decided to have a shortened season that was limited to just 60 games.
This season the playoff format will be different as eight teams from each league will join the playoff bubble for the opportunity to compete for a championship.
While the playoffs are about a week away, the A's currently ride a 33-20 record and are 6 ½ games ahead of the Houston Astros.
The A's success starts with manager Bob Melvin. Melvin is in his 10th season with the A's, twice winning manager of the year. This is now his third division title as their manager. He won it in 2012, 2013 and 2020. Melvin has created a winning culture in Oakland and this might be the year they make a deep run in the postseason.
The A's won the AL West this year with big bats and great pitching. Pitchers that stood out on the team this season were Yusmeiro Petit and Joakim Soria. Petit came out of the bullpen with a 1-1 record and an earned run average of 1.83. Petit also struck out 17 batters in just 24 games.
Soria, a member of the bullpen, had a mediocre record of 2-2 with an earned run average of 3.10 and struck out 23 batters in 20 games.
The A's also had great hitters that stepped up this season and were key players that helped win the division. Marcus Semian, the A's shortstop and MVP runner up last year, had seven home runs with 23 runs batted in.
Matt Chapman, the anchor at third baseman, had 10 home runs with 25 runs batted in. Chapman will miss the title run because of pending hip surgery.
The A's also acquired two veterans through trades. Tommy La Stella, who was acquired from the Angels, and Jake Lamb, from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Two veteran players who can make a huge impact for them in the playoffs.
The A's are trying to win their first World Series championship since 1989 and their 10th in franchise history. With the young talent they have and a successful manager, I think if they get timely hitting and great pitching, they can bring home a championship to the city of Oakland.
The A's will be taking on the Houston Astros in the first round of the playoffs. Their toughest opponent would be the Los Angeles Dodgers assuming both Oakland and Los Angeles got to the World Series to face each other.

Q: Check if a number is divisible by 3 I need to find whether a number is divisible by 3 without using %, / or *. The hint given was to use atoi() function. Any idea how to do it?

A: The current answers all focus on decimal digits, when applying the "add all digits and see if that divides by 3". That trick actually works in hex as well; e.g. 0x12 can be divided by 3 because 0x1 + 0x2 = 0x3. And "converting" to hex is a lot easier than converting to decimal.
Pseudo-code:
int reduce(int i) {
  if (i > 0x10)
    return reduce((i >> 4) + (i & 0x0F)); // Reduces 0x102 to 0x12 to 0x3.
  else
   return i; // Done.
}
bool isDiv3(int i) {
  i = reduce(i);
  return i==0 || i==3 || i==6 || i==9 || i==0xC || i == 0xF;
}

[edit]
Inspired by R, a faster version (O log log N):
int reduce(unsigned i) {
  if (i >= 6)
    return reduce((i >> 2) + (i & 0x03));
  else
   return i; // Done.
}
bool isDiv3(unsigned  i) {
  // Do a few big shifts first before recursing.
  i = (i >> 16) + (i & 0xFFFF);
  i = (i >> 8) + (i & 0xFF);
  i = (i >> 4) + (i & 0xF);
  // Because of additive overflow, it's possible that i > 0x10 here. No big deal.
  i = reduce(i);
  return i==0 || i==3;
}

A: A number divisible by 3, iirc has a characteristic that the sum of its digit is divisible by 3. For example,
12 -> 1 + 2 = 3
144 -> 1 + 4 + 4 = 9

A: The interview question essentially asks you to come up with (or have already known) the divisibility rule shorthand with 3 as the divisor.
One of the divisibility rule for 3 is as follows:

Take any number and add together each digit in the number. Then take that sum and determine if it is divisible by 3 (repeating the same procedure as necessary). If the final number is divisible by 3, then the original number is divisible by 3.

Example:
16,499,205,854,376
=> 1+6+4+9+9+2+0+5+8+5+4+3+7+6 sums to 69
=> 6 + 9 = 15 => 1 + 5 = 6, which is clearly divisible by 3.

See also

*

*Wikipedia/Divisibility rule - has many rules for many divisors

A: Subtract 3 until you either
a) hit 0 - number was divisible by 3
b) get a number less than 0 - number wasn't divisible
-- edited version to fix noted problems
while n > 0:
    n -= 3
while n < 0:
    n += 3
return n == 0

A: Given a number x.
Convert x to a string. Parse the string character by character. Convert each parsed character to a number (using atoi()) and add up all these numbers into a new number y.
Repeat the process until your final resultant number is one digit long. If that one digit is either 3,6 or 9, the origional number x is divisible by 3.

A: My solution in Java only works for 32-bit unsigned ints.
static boolean isDivisibleBy3(int n) {
  int x = n;
  x = (x >>> 16) + (x & 0xffff); // max 0x0001fffe
  x = (x >>> 8) + (x & 0x00ff); // max 0x02fd
  x = (x >>> 4) + (x & 0x000f); // max 0x003d (for 0x02ef)
  x = (x >>> 4) + (x & 0x000f); // max 0x0011 (for 0x002f)
  return ((011111111111 >> x) & 1) != 0;
}

It first reduces the number down to a number less than 32. The last step checks for divisibility by shifting the mask the appropriate number of times to the right.

A: Split the number into digits. Add the digits together. Repeat until you have only one digit left. If that digit is 3, 6, or 9, the number is divisible by 3. (And don't forget to handle 0 as a special case).

A: You didn't tag this C, but since you mentioned atoi, I'm going to give a C solution:
int isdiv3(int x)
{
    div_t d = div(x, 3);
    return !d.rem;
}

A: bool isDiv3(unsigned int n)
{
    unsigned int n_div_3 =
        n * (unsigned int) 0xaaaaaaab;
    return (n_div_3 < 0x55555556);//<=>n_div_3 <= 0x55555555

/*
because 3 * 0xaaaaaaab == 0x200000001 and
 (uint32_t) 0x200000001 == 1
*/
}

bool isDiv5(unsigned int n)
{
    unsigned int n_div_5 =
        i * (unsigned int) 0xcccccccd;
    return (n_div_5 < 0x33333334);//<=>n_div_5 <= 0x33333333

/*
because 5 * 0xcccccccd == 0x4 0000 0001 and
 (uint32_t) 0x400000001 == 1
*/
}

Following the same rule, to obtain the result of divisibility test by 'n', we can :
                multiply the number by 0x1 0000 0000 - (1/n)*0xFFFFFFFF
                compare to (1/n) * 0xFFFFFFFF
The counterpart is that for some values, the test won't be able to return a correct result for all the 32bit numbers you want to test, for example, with divisibility by 7 :
we got 0x100000000- (1/n)*0xFFFFFFFF = 0xDB6DB6DC
and 7 * 0xDB6DB6DC = 0x6 0000 0004,
We will only test one quarter of the values, but we can certainly avoid that with substractions.
Other examples :
11 * 0xE8BA2E8C = A0000 0004, one quarter of the values
17 * 0xF0F0F0F1 = 10 0000 0000 1
comparing to 0xF0F0F0F
Every values !
Etc., we can even test every numbers by combining natural numbers between them.

A: A number is divisible by 3 if all the digits in the number when added gives a result 3, 6 or 9. For example 3693 is divisible by 3 as 3+6+9+3 = 21 and 2+1=3 and 3 is divisible by 3.

A: inline bool divisible3(uint32_t x)  //inline is not a must, because latest compilers always optimize it as inline.
{
    //1431655765 = (2^32 - 1) / 3
    //2863311531 = (2^32) - 1431655765
    return x * 2863311531u <= 1431655765u;
}

On some compilers this is even faster then regular way: x % 3. Read more here.

A: While the technique of converting to a string and then adding the decimal digits together is elegant, it either requires division or is inefficient in the conversion-to-a-string step. Is there a way to apply the idea directly to a binary number, without first converting to a string of decimal digits?
It turns out, there is:
Given a binary number, the sum of its odd bits minus the sum of its even bits is divisible by 3 iff the original number was divisible by 3.
As an example: take the number 3726, which is divisible by 3. In binary, this is 111010001110. So we take the odd digits, starting from the right and moving left, which are [1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1]; the sum of these is 5. The even bits are [0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1]; the sum of these is 2. 5 - 2 = 3, from which we can conclude that the original number is divisible by 3.

A: well a number is divisible by 3 if all the sum of digits of the number are divisible by 3. so you could get each digit as a substring of the input number and then add them up. you then would repeat this process until there is only a single digit result.
if this is 3, 6 or 9 the number is divisable by 3.

A: C# Solution for checking if a number is divisible by 3
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int num = 33;
            bool flag = false;

            while (true)
            {
                num = num - 7;
                if (num == 0)
                {
                    flag = true;
                    break;
                }
                else if (num < 0)
                {
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
                    flag = false;
                }
            }

            if (flag)
                Console.WriteLine("Divisible by 3");
            else
                Console.WriteLine("Not Divisible by 3");

            Console.ReadLine();

        }
    }

*Here is a pseudo-algol i came up with .

Let us follow binary progress of multiples of 3
000 011
000 110

001 001
001 100
001 111

010 010
010 101

011 000
011 011
011 110

100 001
100 100
100 111

101 010
101 101

just have a remark that, for a binary multiple of 3 x=abcdef in following couples abc=(000,011),(001,100),(010,101) cde doest change , hence, my proposed algorithm:
divisible(x):

    y = x&7

    z = x>>3

    if number_of_bits(z)<4

        if z=000 or 011 or 110 , return (y==000 or 011 or 110) end

        if z=001 or 100 or 111 , return (y==001 or 100 or 111) end

        if z=010 or 101 , return (y==010 or 101) end

    end

    if divisible(z) , return (y==000 or 011 or 110) end

    if divisible(z-1) , return (y==001 or 100 or 111) end

    if divisible(z-2) , return (y==010 or 101) end

end

Current Exhibitions Upcoming News About Us
Xavier Cha
July 13th – August 24th, 2019
Reception Hours: Saturday, July 13, 3—6PM
Location: 3006 W 7TH ST STE 220 Los Angeles CA 90005
Exhibition Hours: Wednesday—Saturday, 12—6PM and by appointment
No OB Bear Parking. Meter and street parking only. Please rideshare.
Commonwealth and Council presents SUB, an exhibition of three recent video and sound works by Xavier Cha, shown together for the first time in Los Angeles.
What do I see when I look at myself? A body not my own. "abduct" deals with the horror and alienation of being self-aware in a physical body—how our very facial expressions seem to betray us, converting emotions into a wild neuromuscular grotesquery that plays over us like the strings of a marionette. We routinely exert editorial self-control over our own digital likenesses, yet this is a function of our broader capacity to be taken and possessed: subjected. Seeing the uncanny physical manifestations of our everyday emotions—the crease of a smile, the twitch of an eye, the furrow of an eyebrow—disturbs us, gives us away. Yet bodies also dissemble, encoding our every expression within a malleable corporeal-psycho-social system. We can't connect with the self-seeing bodies in "abduct" because they are in disconnect with themselves, and we remember that "I" is always somebody else.
"Ruthless Logic" draws us into the illusory dream state of someone lost in thought while staring at clouds. This "real-time" perspective gets interrupted by stylized martial arts fight scenes representing the incessant mental gymnastics underway in the protagonist's subconscious mind as she copes with everyday depression, insecurity, self-sabotage, and suicidal thoughts. Cha disrupts the usual climactic arc of action sequences, instead establishing a sense of infinite loop, displacing the expected satisfaction and thrill with a study in unresolved processing taking place at two distinct levels of reality—a state of fraught simultaneity resembling schizophrenia or psychosis.
Cha works collaboratively, directing a host of specialized participants, generally from outside the art world, through intensely controlled scenarios grappling with architectures of subjectivity, illusions of agency, and the vexed human condition of our digital capitalist age—where we exist as both consumer and consumed. "abduct" was performed by (in order of appearance) Zac Porter, Mahalet Dejene, Aurelien Gaya, Claire Buckingham, Summer Bills, Robin Baker, and Eva Sólveig, with sound design by Aaron David Ross. Cha produced "Ruthless Logic" in Hong Kong at the legendary Shaw Studios, working with local film industry luminaries including action choreographer Jack Wai-Leung and cinematographer Kwan Pun Leung, and with martial artists German Cheung and Rafael Reynoso, who performed the kung fu fight scenes. The soundtrack is by Lawfandah, who also scored "Hypnobirth"—a participatory sound installation in which clinical hypnotherapist Bianca DeGroat recites a subliminal earworm across shared space to unlock the subconscious and guide us through the dream-like world within. Even this enigmatic terrain reveals the entangled economy of personal agency and external control. Sound engineering for "Hypnobirth" is by Ali Noori.
To reserve a 30-minute hypnotherapy session please contact Audrey Min at together@commonwealthandcouncil.com. The sessions will be available throughout the duration of the exhibition during the gallery's regular hours.
Xavier Cha (b. 1980, Los Angeles; lives and works in Brooklyn, NY) received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles and BFA from Rhode Island School of Design.

How to Respond to an Offensive Comment at Work
Know when it's worth speaking up.
Amy Gallo
Buy Copies
Ler em português
Editor's Note: We revised this piece after several readers pointed out that the original version put the burden on the recipient of an offensive comment to address larger systemic biases. New expert perspectives were added to address those concerns.
Your colleague says something that immediately makes you feel uncomfortable. He thinks he's just being funny, but the comment is inappropriate — maybe even offensive, sexist, or racist. What should you say or do if you find yourself in this situation? Is there a way to draw attention to the comment without making the situation worse? And are you risking your reputation, job, or career by speaking up?
There's no denying that this is a tough situation. Joan Williams, founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at UC Hastings College of the Law, says that deciding how to respond is risky because it involves "two of the most corrosive elements of bias in the workplace": the uncertainty of whether what you heard is bias and the fear that you might be penalized for how you handle it. It's normal to question yourself in these situations, wondering whether you heard the person right and whether you're overreacting.
Keep in mind that the onus isn't on you to fix gender or racial bias, says Ruchika Tulshyan, author of The Diversity Advantage: Fixing Gender Inequality In The Workplace. And yet, she acknowledges, people need to know how to respond in the moment. "Telling people to wait 100 years while we address long-standing bias isn't helpful," she says. Here's some advice for the next time a colleague says something offensive and you're wondering whether to act.
Accept your emotional response
It's normal to feel mad, upset, or confused. "When someone does something to violate your identity, you might get angry. It's a natural response when our humanity is denied," says Tina Opie, a professor at Babson College. She advises slowing down and thinking through what just happened. Ask yourself why you are having the emotional response that you are, and give yourself time to feel those emotions before you decide what to do. "Personally, when I've let my emotions get the best of me, I didn't get the results that I wanted," she says. Your initial goal is to make a rational decision, one that you'll feel good about later on, for how to respond.
Weigh the benefits of speaking up…
There are good reasons to speak up, such as "preserving your own sense of integrity" and "ridding the workplace of racism," notes Williams. "If you don't speak up, you're signaling that this is OK. You've essentially just given the person permission to do it again." This might also be an opportunity to change your colleague's behavior for the better. Research by Alexander Czopp, the director of the Center for Cross-Cultural Research at Western Washington University, and his colleagues shows that "addressing offensive behavior in the right way in the moment can change it in the future."
If you're in a position of power, the stakes are higher. Managers have a responsibility (in some cases a legal one) to make sure no one feels threatened or uncomfortable at work, and studies show that you have more influence if you are not the subject of the bias. "When it comes to sexism, for example, men tend to be more persuasive when confronting people," says Williams. "We afford them more credibility because it's not their 'game.'"
…against the costs
Williams adds that you need to consider whom you're dealing with, what their reaction might be, and what the political costs will be if you call them out. They might be dismissive ("You're overreacting. It was just a joke.") or get defensive ("What are you accusing me of?"). So ask yourself: How does this person normally react to being challenged? Are they generally self-aware? Well-intentioned?
You'll also want to consider the person's authority over you and whether they're likely to penalize you for speaking up. "Your job security or personal safety may be at risk," says Czopp. This is especially true if you're a woman or person of color. Williams's research shows that women and people of color get more pushback when they're assertive. That's not to say you shouldn't speak up, but you should be realistic about the consequences of doing so.

Don't accuse
If you decide to say something, be careful not to level accusations. Czopp's research shows that blunt statements, such as "That's racist," result in much more defensive reactions. He says that most people have an exaggerated view of what these terms mean: "We think of white supremacists, the KKK, and cross-burning — anything that implies that we're on the same continuum as those things is upsetting." Williams agrees: "It might feel righteous to call people out, but no one wants to hear that they're being sexist, racist, or otherwise offensive." And when people feel defensive, they're less likely to hear you or be willing to change their minds.
Explain your reaction to the comment
Tell the person how their comment makes you feel. You might say, "I know it wasn't your intent, but that made me uncomfortable" or "I'm confused by what you said." Opie offers this statement that she's used in the past: "When you said that my hair is unprofessional, it made me feel like you didn't value me as a human being." Don't think of this approach as sidestepping the issue, Czopp says; it's actually "more likely to change their behavior in future situations" because it shows the person the negative impact their statements can have and why they should change.
Follow your initial statement with a question like "What did you mean by that comment?" or "What information are you basing that on?" Sometimes "the person is just clueless and doesn't know how their behavior is being interpreted," Williams explains. Be compassionate if possible. "Have we all made stupid comments? Sure," says Williams. Opie suggests saying, "Tell me more about that thinking." By engaging the person in a discussion, you can explore their biases and try to clear up any possible misunderstandings. You might even ask them to simply repeat what they said. This will prompt them to think through what they meant by the remark, as well as its effect on others.
If the person doesn't understand how their comment was offensive, you may want to offer an observation or more information. It's not your job to do this, but you can if you want to. For example, if the person suggested that a female colleague is slacking off by leaving work early, you might say something like: "I read an interesting study the other day that found that when working moms leave the office, we assume they're taking care of their kids. But when working dads leave the office, we don't even notice." It's important to do this in a way that isn't passive-aggressive. The more genuine you are about sharing information and not trapping the person in their biased comment, the more likely they are to hear you.
Try alternative approaches
If you decide that you're not comfortable addressing the comment, there are other things you can do, says Czopp. For example, abruptly changing the subject can send a subtle message to the person that you disapprove of the remark. The difficulty with this approach, he says, is that "you have to rely on the person's emotional intelligence to pick up on the cue." You might also wait and see what happens. Sometimes the person who made the comment will realize their mistake and even apologize.
Or…just call it out
Of course, you may decide that you're not concerned about the other person's sense of self or their ability to change. "You may feel that you need to just call it out," says Williams. For example, you might just say, "That comment was offensive to women." And that's fine to do as long as you've weighed the costs. If the person gets their hackles up and gets defensive, "you've now got another piece of information about who this person is," she says.
Appeal to someone in authority
If the comments continue and you feel uncomfortable, consider escalating the issue. Williams says there is power in numbers. "Can you find others who have been offended and make the case that the person is creating a hostile climate? If you've tried to deal with it on your own and haven't had success, you can privately bring it to a senior person." You might say something like: "A whole group of us are having this experience, and we'd like your advice." Just keep in mind, warns Williams, that "as you ratchet it up, you expend more political capital."
And if you're a leader, take action
If you have power and authority in your organization, take offensive comments seriously. Tulshyan says those who are "in a position to create a better, more inclusive work environment, where people can bring their whole selves to work, should use that power." Opie agrees that the ultimate responsibility for fixing the problems of discrimination at work lies with leaders. If people come to you angry or upset about a comment directed at them or someone else, don't dismiss them. Listen.
Principles to Remember
Think carefully about whether you want to speak up, weighing the costs and benefits of doing so.
Recognize that if you are in a position of power, you have a responsibility to address offensive comments and create an inclusive work environment.
Ask questions that encourage the person reflect on what they said and clear up any misunderstandings.
Neglect to think through the political costs, especially if you're the target of the comment.
Assume the person knows they're being offensive; it's possible that they are clueless.
Accuse someone of being biased — that's likely to put them on the defensive and unlikely to change their behavior over the long term.
Case Study #1: Focus on your reaction
Ben Brooks had just started a new job at a top-tier management consulting firm, and he and an older colleague were on the phone with the rest of the practice. After Ben made some remarks, the colleague responded with, "You fag!" Ben was so shocked that he didn't even respond. "This was someone I looked up to; he had helped hire me. He didn't know I was gay and seemed to treat it as 'locker room talk,' but I instantly shut down." Ben left the office feeling hurt and angry, "wondering why I had moved across the country to be called a 'fag' at work."
After cooling down, he went back to his colleague's office to discuss the situation. Finding it empty, he left a note saying that he needed to speak with him. When his colleague found him later that day, Ben started off by establishing rapport. "I said that, if I ever offended him, I wanted him to let me know. He agreed." Ben explained why his colleague's earlier comment had upset him. "He said sorry right away, but in a compliance sort of way that wasn't overly genuine." Ben took a deep breath and shared that he was gay. "When I explained how hurtful it was, he nearly melted in his chair in a puddle of shame," he says. The colleague was mortified and apologized profusely, and Ben forgave him.
"We all make mistakes and deserve second chances when we take responsibility and apologize," says Ben, who is now the CEO of PILOT, a tech startup helping managers retain their best talent. "I'm certain he never called anyone a 'fag' again." He and the former colleague remain friends.
Case Study #2: Don't accuse
Daniel Wagner (names and some details have been changed), the co-owner of an executive search firm based in New York City, has worked for more than a year with Carol, the founder of a youth education organization. In the course of advising her on leadership hires, he's been frequently taken aback by some of Carol's comments and requests. For example, she once emailed Daniel's team to ask them to find photos of job candidates so she could see what they looked like. She also asked that they determine the age of an applicant. After one meeting, Carol commented that the interviewee "dressed like she was Amish." When discussing an African-American woman up for another job, she expressed concern that her skin color might prevent people from taking her seriously. Daniel and his team were upset by these remarks.
But all along, Daniel's approach has been to be direct and honest with Carol. "As the senior person on the team, I was constantly trying to insert myself before she got herself in too much trouble," he recalls. For instance, when she asked for inappropriate information about candidates, he replied, "We don't request that information because we won't make a decision based on that. We focus on competencies." And when she asked for the photos, he said, "Please don't ask us to do this again. It's not OK."
At the same time, he never accused her of being racist or biased. "I didn't want to make assumptions about her intentions or moral character…. My parents make [the same sort of] comments sometimes, so I've been exposed to good people who say inappropriate things."
Carol's responses have varied. Sometimes she denies she'd been offensive and says, "You must've heard me wrong." Other times she apologizes. But over time, Daniel's input seems to have helped. "She says fewer offensive things now. It's gotten a lot better."

Hans Christian Andersen - Samuel Goldwyn Presents 1952 DVD
Danny Kaye stars in the title role of this fictionalised musical biography of story-telling cobbler Hans Christian Andersen, which dramatises many of his famous tales including the famous 'Ugly Duckling'. In the small Danish town of Odense, Hans Christian Andersen, a cobbler by trade, has an extremely active imagination and makes up stories to tell the children who eagerly await his next tales. Although his fables all have morals and lessons of love and humility, the schoolmaster (John Brown) bans Hans from telling his stories to the children. After refusing to admit defeat, Hans is banished to Copenhagen where he and his shop-hand Peter (Joseph Walsh) must try to make a living. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Scoring of a Musical Picture, Best Song ('Thumbelina') and Best Colour Cinematography.
