Q: UnitTest to add a new line in a Csv File doesn't work I try to do my UnitTest to write a new line in a .csv file but when i call My function data.TestAddToCsv() doesn't add a new line. If i use it in my program instead it works.
This is my program method function :
public void AddToCvs(Estate estate)
{
    try
    {
        if (estate is Apartment apartment)
        {

            string line = apartment.address + "," + apartment.cap + "," + apartment.city + "," + apartment.aream2 + "," + apartment.id + "," + apartment.numRoom + "," + apartment.numBath;

            File.AppendAllLines(apartmentFilePath, new string[] { line });
        }
        else if (estate is House house)
        {
            string line = house.address + "," + house.cap + "," + house.city + "," + house.aream2 + "," + house.id + "," + house.numRoom + "," + house.numBath + "," + house.gardenm2;

            File.AppendAllLines(houseFilePath, new string[] { line });
        }
        else if (estate is Box box)
        {
            string line = box.address + "," + box.cap + "," + box.city + "," + box.aream2 + "," + box.id +     "," + box.numParkingSpace;

            File.AppendAllLines(boxFilePath, new string[] { line });
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

this is my [TestMethod]
public void TestAddToCsv()
{
    string address = "Via Catania";
    string cap = "54896";
    string city = "Milano";
    int aream2 = 200;
    string id = "A8";
    int numRoom = 8;
    int numBath = 2;
    string mainApartmentPath = @"C:/Users/FMF-guest/.../bin/Debug/net6.0/ApartmentCsv.csv";
    string testApartmentPath = @"C:/Users/FMF-guest/.../AgenziaImmobiliareTest/ApartmentCsv.csv";

    var lineTest = "Via Catania,54896,Milano,200,A8,8,2";
    Apartment newApartment = new Apartment(address, cap, city, aream2, id, numRoom, numBath);

    DataFiles data = new DataFiles();

    data.TestAddToCsv(newApartment);

    File.AppendAllLines(testApartmentPath, new string[] { lineTest });

    var result = File.ReadAllText(mainApartmentPath);
    var expectedResult = File.ReadAllText(testApartmentPath);
    Assert.AreEqual(expectedResult, result);

}

Try to change the public/private state of my function or create a new equal function using public variables for my programm but still doesn't work

A: Firstly, it seems like there's a typo in your test's acting code, you're calling the test method itself:
data.TestAddToCsv(newApartment);

instead of the method declared in the first snippet box (which also contains a typo):
 data.AddToCvs(newApartment);

You may consider a bit of refactoring of your code first:
(I assumed your class hierarchy from the code you posted)
public abstract class Estate
{
    protected string Address { get; set; }
    protected string Cap { get; set; }
    protected string City { get; set; }
    protected int AreaM2 { get; set; }
    protected string Id { get; set; }

    protected Estate(string address, string cap, string city, int areaM2, string id)
    {
        Address = address;
        Cap = cap;
        City = city;
        AreaM2 = areaM2;
        Id = id;
    }

    public new virtual string ToString()
    {
        return $"{Address},{Cap},{City},{AreaM2},{Id}";
    }
}

public abstract class EstateForPeople : Estate
{
    protected int NumRoom { get; set; }
    protected int NumBath { get; set; }

    protected EstateForPeople(string address, string cap, string city, int areaM2, string id, int numRoom, int numBath)
        : base(address, cap, city, areaM2, id)
    {
        NumRoom = numRoom;
        NumBath = numBath;
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"{base.ToString()},{NumRoom},{NumBath}";
    }
}

public class Apartment : EstateForPeople
{
    public Apartment(string address, string cap, string city, int areaM2, string id, int numRoom, int numBath)
        : base(address, cap, city, areaM2, id, numRoom, numBath)
    {
    }
}

public class House : EstateForPeople
{
    public int GardenM2 { get; set; }

    public House(string address, string cap, string city, int areaM2, string id, int numRoom, int numBath, int gardenM2)
        : base(address, cap, city, areaM2, id, numRoom, numBath)
    {
        GardenM2 = gardenM2;
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"{base.ToString()},{GardenM2}";
    }
}

public class Box : Estate
{
    public int NumParkingSpace { get; set; }

    public Box(string address, string cap, string city, int areaM2, string id, int numParkingSpace)
        : base(address, cap, city, areaM2, id)
    {
        NumParkingSpace = numParkingSpace;
    }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return $"{base.ToString()},{NumParkingSpace}";
    }
}

At this point you don't need to build the string equivalent of an Estate, you can easily use .ToString's overrides to turn classes into their string representation.
The write responsible class may become something like this:
public class DataFiles
{
    public string GetPathFor<T>(T estate) where T : Estate
    {
        return estate switch
        {
            Apartment => "apartment path",
            House => "house path",
            Box => "box path",
            _ => throw new NotImplementedException()
        };
    }

    public void AddToCsv<T>(T estate, string path) where T : Estate
    {
        File.AppendAllLines(path, new[] { estate.ToString() });
    }
}

Then you can refactor your test:
   public void TestAddToCsv()
    {
        //Arrange
        var testApartmentPath = @"C:/Users/FMF-guest/.../AgenziaImmobiliareTest/ApartmentCsv.csv";
        Apartment newApartment = new Apartment("Via Catania", "54896", "Milano", 200, "A8", 8, 2);
        DataFiles data = new DataFiles();
        var expectedLine = newApartment.ToString();

        //Act
        data.AddToCsv(newApartment, testApartmentPath);
        var wroteLine = File.ReadAllText(testApartmentPath);

        //Assert
        Assert.AreEqual(expectedLine, wroteLine);
    }

And in your production code:
{
        /*
         * ...
         * code here
         * ...
         */
        var apartmentPath = data.GetPathFor(apartment);
        data.AddToCsv(apartment, apartmentPath);
        /*
         * ...
         * eventual code here
         * ...
         */
    }

You have now a much clearer separation of responsibilities among you're classes and methods and testing and maintaining will be easier as well.
The key point here, to clearly answer your question, is to be aware of what you are testing. I'm not completely sure about what was wrong in first place with your test due to the typos I earlier reported but even without typo you were making things hard in that test.
If I got it correctly you were double writing the string representation of an apartment, once through the unit under test (AddToCsv()) and once directly calling File.AppendAllLines, but in two different files. Than reading both files and try to assert that both strings were equally write.
As you write test for your code try follow a much linear flow:

*

*Clearly state what's your unit under test

*Have clear what's the purpose of the unit under test (a tons of times, this is not easy due to lose decoupling and no SRP applied)

*Have clear which is the condition you're testing (best case, worst case, corner cases, throw exception case, etc...)

*Write test (and code) as simple as possible

*Do trustworthy assertion

In your specific case the answer to these question should have been:

*

*AddToCsv()

*This method should write a string into a file

*Given a path (whatever path) the unit under test writes a given string

*Provide a test path, the string that have to be written, call the unit under test

*Assert that the unit under test did what you were testing. In this case it wrote something (and eventually, if the writing outcome is as expected. This is arguable, you can also write two different test for these two different aspect of the assertion, but in my opinion for such small unit under test it's ok to put them together).

Learning how to properly unit test things is a hard and not always clear path but in the end (and I'm still far from the end as well!) it pays. A lot.

People look at social login as just an easier way to log in. That's true, but it's a bit simplistic.

What gets overlooked is how the very best companies and stickiest products maximize social login not just at login but at every step of the customer journey. They pull user information to create more personal onboarding experiences and they pull social data to make addictive notifications that bring users back to the app.

Here are 3 ways to use social login to improve conversion rates, get users to activation as quickly as possible, and re-engage and retain users. In short, social login helps you broaden your funnel, turn users into customers, and drive down churn—which provides the basis for long-term and sustainable growth.

## Increase Your Sign Up Conversion Rate by 20%

Social login makes it super simple to sign up for a new product. You reduce friction by providing 1-click sign up rather than having to fill out multiple form fields, put in your email and select yet another password.

![Pinterest Social Login](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/pinterest-social-login.png)

It's no surprise then that social login helps lift conversion rates. The numbers vary wildly on exactly how much conversion rates improve—and in addition, much of this data has been provided by social login providers themselves, who are obviously interested parties. However, the numbers generally show an improvement in conversion, and in some cases, very significant increases.

* "[40-60% increase](https://www.quora.com/What-impact-does-social-login-have-on-conversion-rates) in conversion rates with some reaching upwards of 130%"
* "Conversion rates [increase anywhere from 20-40%](https://www.quora.com/What-impact-does-social-login-have-on-conversion-rates) after social login implementation"
* "Conversion rates [increase up to 20%](https://www.quora.com/What-impact-does-social-login-have-on-conversion-rates)["](https://www.quora.com/What-impact-does-social-login-have-on-conversion-rates)
* "Both options (traditional form plus social login) [converts 8.5% more](http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/53155/any-stats-data-advocating-integrated-social-logins-over-traditional-user-passw) website visitors to form submitters"
* "Social login increases registration rates by [up to 50%](http://janrain.com/product/social-login/)"

![Website to Form Conversion](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/website-to-form-conversion.png)

Even MailChimp—which came out against social login after [experimenting with it for a month](https://blog.mailchimp.com/social-login-buttons-arent-worth-it/)—showed a 3.4% lift in conversion from landing to login. MailChimp ultimately decided to rip it out based on concerns around branding and design. Nevertheless, given that MailChimp deals with tens of millions of visitors a week, a 3.4% conversion rate improvement captured a huge absolute number of people with a minimal amount of work.

### Key Takeaway

Per ounce of work, implementing social login is one of the quickest wins around for driving up your sign up conversion rates and widening your funnel.

{% include tweet_quote.html quote_text="Implementing social login is one of the quickest wins around for driving up your sign up conversion rates." %}

With an identity as a service provider like Auth0, you get nearly every [social login](https://auth0.com/learn/social-login) option without having to do any additional work. Turning on a social login provider is a matter of flipping a switch rather than learning yet another API.

![Enabling Social Login in Auth0](https://cdn.auth0.com/content/social-login/enabling-social-providers-2.gif)

Then [customize the login](https://auth0.com/docs/libraries/lock/customization) to emphasize social login or even potentially only allow social login. A/B test different configurations to optimize your conversion rate.

![Login Customization](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/login-customization.png)

## Activate Users During Onboarding Immediately via Personalization

Personalizing your onboarding flow is one of the most powerful ways to improve your activation rate and turn more trial prospects into paying customers.

But how can you personalize your onboarding flow for people you don't know anything about? They just signed up and haven't used your product at all.

% include tweet_quote.html quote_text="Personalizing your onboarding flow is one of the most powerful ways to improve your activation rate and turn more trial prospects into paying customers. " %}

The answer is Facebook. Or Google, Twitter, GitHub and LinkedIn. On all of these social networks that we use, we've grown a massive bodies of information about ourselves that you as an app developer can use to tailor a personal onboarding experience.

![Facebook Social Login Setup in Auth0](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/facebook-setup.png)

Here is a short list of user attributes you can pull from [Facebook via social login](https://auth0.com/docs/connections/social/facebook):

* Basic Profile
* Home town
* About Me description
* Email
* Location
* Birthday
* Website
* Education History
* Work History
* Friend List
* Friend's Likes
* User's Likes
* And more . . .

You can use all of that information to make the onboarding experience incredibly personal. For example, after you sign up to Instagram via Facebook, the app's personalized onboarding flow kicks in and they show you your friends staring right back at you.

![Instagram On Boarding](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/instagram-.png)

That gets you to the "aha!" activation moment very quickly. Rather than having to build a follower list manually out of vague recommendations, the app is able to pull the exact people you want to follow (your friends) via Facebook Graph API after social login. You immediately have a highly relevant and personal feed, and that shows you the value of Instagram right away.

Instagram heavily emphasizes social login on their home screen. Log in with Facebook is the top and highlighted option, whereas email is put underneath in plaintext.

### Key Takeaway

Don't leave your onboarding flow generic, delivering the same experience to everyone no matter how different they are. Do whatever you can to personalize your onboarding flow. For many apps, that means pushing the user through social login and using the information culled from their network to create a highly personal onboarding experience.

[Appcues](http://appcues.com/) is a user-onboarding-as-a-service that makes it super simple to create personalized user onboarding flows. As an incredibly easy way to get started with personalized onboarding flows, take the info that you pull from social login and drop it into your onboarding messaging using simple user properties like `{aboutMe}`, `{website}` and `{educationHistory}`.

![Appcues Welcome](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/appcues-welcome.png)

A more advanced technique is to distill social login information into buyer personas. For example, suppose that you pull a user's job history from Facebook or LinkedIn social login. You can segment trial prospects into 4 groups, your 4 buyer personas: engineer, marketer, product manager, and designer. Then giving each a different onboarding flow tailored to their user case.

![Role Based OnBoard](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/role-based-onboard.png)

## Drive 3x Engagement with Push and Email Notifications

According to mobile analytics platform [Localytics](http://info.localytics.com/blog/push-messaging-drives-88-more-app-launches-for-users-who-opt-in), users who enable push notifications have nearly 3x the engagement rate versus those who disable push. That's because user notifications via push on mobile or email are one of the biggest drivers of engagement and re-engagement.

We're all familiar with notifications that tell us what has happened to us—for instance, when someone likes or comments on our Facebook post. Or, when someone mentions us on Twitter or hearts our photo on Instagram.

The problem with those notifications is that they require that the users themselves are already active. In the words of former [Facebook product manager Meenal Balar](http://firstround.com/review/heres-what-a-real-growth-strategy-looks-like-road-tested-by-facebook-and-remind/): "We found that the notifications we were sending to our most engaged users didn't make a huge impact — they were coming back to the site every day anyway."

Where you'll make the biggest impact with notifications is by engaging *inactive* users. Foursquare, for example, is able to email you with a personal, relevant message even if you haven't been active in the app. It will notify you with where your friends have been going and what they've been liking.

![Foursquare personalized email](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/foursquare-email.png)

That shows the massive power of driving users to make friend and following relationships in your app. You can deliver effective notifications based on what connections are doing in the app because you know that they'll be relevant and interesting to the user. To complete the loop, the notification will reactivate the user and get them back in the app.

It's social login that provides the basic social graph upon which your app's social graph will be built. Like in Instagram, as above, the moment you sign up, you can connect to the social graph you've painstakingly built on Facebook or Twitter. Further, as social connections join the app, you can notify the user and ask them to make that connection inside of your app as well.

The upshot is that the user's social graph inside of your app will be stronger, and that will provide the basis for more relevant notifications. This can re-engage your users in your app, showing them how their friends are using at the value they get from it. Ultimately, what you're aiming for is a "smile graph", where [retention](https://amplitude.com/blog/2015/11/24/cohorts-to-improve-your-retention/) might dip initially, but over time, users get reactivated and they become active in the app again. Retention then curves back up and growth takes off.

![Evernote Smile Graph](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/evernote-smile-graph.png)

### Key Takeaway

Social login strengthens connections in your app which provides the basis for notifications that improve retention. Make sure that you're using the information you get from social login over the entire customer lifecycle, not just during onboarding.

To Janet Choi at Customer.io, [notifications about what your friends are doing](https://customer.io/blog/persuasive-emails.html) are among the most powerful because of a neurobiological mechanism in the human brain called the "framing effect." We as humans don't process wins and losses the same—we fear loss much more than we enjoy gain. What results is the emotional trigger commonly known as FOMO, or fear of missing out, which is a powerful driver in social apps to get people to re-engage to see what they're missing.

[Customer.io](http://customer.io/) is a SaaS product that makes it easy to send lifecycle emails based on what happens in your app. You can use it to set up a simple recurring email where you point out what your friends are doing in the app.

For instance, at social-location check-in app Swarm, they take a very literal approach to this tactic. Approximately every 2 months, they sent out an email with the subject "You're missing your friends' check-ins". It includes a count of how many of my friends checked in and how many check-ins they logged with a call to action to satisfy your FOMO, open the app, and join in on the fun.

![Swarm Email](https://cdn.auth0.com/blog/social-login-makes-apps-grow/swarm-email.png)

## It's Better Together

Social login is so useful because our social and professional connections provide the foundation for so much of what we do both for fun and at work. Fundamentally, we rarely have fun and get stuff done alone—we do it in social and professional contexts.

When you connect via social login, you're importing that context into the app to get up and running more quickly and to make the experience richer. Whether you have the latest hot social consumer app or a B2B enterprise app, integrating social login is one of the simplest things you can do to make every aspect of the user lifecycle more sticky and drive growth.

Press the spacebar to cycle between static and dynamic webcam detection. In static mode the webcam captures a static background image at the moment when static mode is selected. (Thus you should get out of the field of view of the webcam first) It then differences new webcam images with this stored one to determine the location of moving foreground objects. In dynamic mode the webcam is continuously updating its background image. This makes it a little easier to use and less sensitive to lighting changes or moving the webcam. However it also means if you stay still it will eventually misinterpret you as part of the background and will continue to do so for a little while after you move again.
Press either mouse button to cycle the display between reproduction of the entire webcam image and display of only the foreground objects. This last mode can be useful in seeing how the webcam sensing algorithm works and how best to interact with the scene.


Football had a come from behind win on Friday against Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes with a final score of 25-19. The Ventures trailed by 2 with under 5 minutes to play before Braden Mussat connected with Klayton Cornell on a 48 yard touchdown on 4th and 8. That was Klayton's 2nd TD reception of the day. John Stickney reeled in a 5 yard touchdown pass from Mussat in the 1st half. Mussat finished with 3 touchdown passes on the day. Joey Laino had a 38 yard field goal and 2 extra points. Kendel Taylor had a key 2 point conversion and 95 yards rushing. The story though was the defense. The team had 2 goal line stops at the end of each half to keep the Lakers off the board and to seal the victory. Jerry Thayer recovered a fumble at the 1 at the end of the 1st half to stop a Lakers drive while Lucas Juricic helped defend the final incomplete pass in the end zone with under 15 seconds left. The Ventures move to 7-1 on the year. They will conclude their regular season at Livonia Clarenceville on Friday.

Jordan Palmer Familiar With Jaguars Offense

The Jacksonville Jaguars invited veteran quarterback Jordan Palmer to their mini-camp over the weekend on a tryout basis. Palmer impressed the coaches enough to sign on as the team's third string quarterback after the team released Dan LeFevour, who spent part of last season on the Jaguars roster. Jordan, who's older brother is Oakland Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer, spent three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals as a back up before being released last year and is familiar with Bob Bratkowski's offensive system.
It's not much of a surprise Palmer was the quarterback to stick to the roster, as coaches seem to prefer to have a guy they've worked with in the past who can assist the other quarterbacks in picking up small nuances of the system. The Jaguars haven't made it publicly known yet if they plan to carry just two quarterbacks into the regular season as the have quite a few times in the past, but Palmer will look to make another impression on the coaches when OTA's roll around and training camp starts.
Palmer has a bit of a leg up on Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne, as he's played under Bratkowski calling plays before. While Palmer has just a handful of game experience in the NFL with the Bengals, it's likely he's someone Bratkowski will want around in the meeting room for at least training camp. It's highly unlikely that Palmer will push Henne for the Jaguars No. 2 quarterback spot but if he can play well enough in training camp and the preseason he may stick as the third quarterback.
As I mentioned, in the past the Jaguars have kept just two quarterbacks, but after the 2010 NFL season when the Jaguars dealt with injury after injury at the quarterback position, the team has tried to carry three.
It's unknown if the Jaguars will bring in another camp arm for training camp.

Act Like a Kid Again at the Waterworks in New Zealand
By Molly Fosco • JUN 07 2018
Because this park lets adults be kids again … and then drink beer and barbecue by the river afterward.
Geo facts & figures
Adults have it rough. We have to go to work and pay our bills. And forget about playing on the swings at the park — they're much too small for our adult-size bottoms. Unless you're at The Waterworks eco-park in Coromandel, New Zealand.
In 2005, Jeffrey Howarth bought 10 acres of farmland on New Zealand's north island. After 10 years of world travel, he planned to settle down and enjoy some peace and quiet in the country. But around Christmastime, Howarth noticed groups of visitors flocking to his homestead. He had no idea that the Waiau River and lush surrounding forests were a popular holiday destination. The laid-back Howarth decided to embrace the situation. With the help of locals, he began building giant slides and swings out of discarded material to entertain his visitors.
Here's another attraction you will see on your next visit! Can you guess how it works?
A post shared by TheWaterworks (@thewaterworkscoromandel) on May 29, 2018 at 1:50am PDT
Over the years, those few playground essentials have grown to include oddities that even Hogwarts wouldn't have in store. Strolling through the park's subtropical forests, you'll come upon a man of metal turning a whimsical water pump, a hamster wheel big enough for an adult human to fit inside and musical instruments made from random odds and ends like knives and oil barrels. Everything is constructed from recycled materials, and the mechanics run entirely on hydropower or human-power — no electricity required. "We're the only eco-park in all of New Zealand," Lynda McGregor, the park's marketing manager, says proudly.
But the park, with its massive playground equipment, rife with nostalgia, is definitely a fantasyland for adults.
As you might imagine, The Waterworks is also a hit with kids. The bikes you can "ride in the sky like E.T." are very popular with little ones, says McGregor, as are the Flying Fox zip line and the climbing wall. But the park, with its massive playground equipment, rife with nostalgia, is definitely a fantasyland for adults.
And when it's time for a break? There are areas to barbecue or pull up a cooler of ice-cold Speight's beer and have a picnic. The market café also sells dishes made from fruits and veggies grown onsite, as well as organic coffee and ice cream. The swimming hole has great cannon ball spots, and there are plenty of kauri trees tucked away from other exhibits, which provide quiet, shady places to rest. Want to make a weekend of it? Camper vans are permitted in the park overnight.
On a recent visit from the U.K., Susan Logan and her husband found Waterworks in a local guidebook. "We were surprised and delighted once we got inside," she says. "We had great fun squirting each other, and bear in mind we're retirement age!" And while she can't name a favorite attraction overall, she was tickled by the "guest" near the entrance to the outdoor privy — a life-size witch scaring the crap out of bathroom-goers a bit prematurely.
We have loads of different quirky attractions for you to come and play with, at The Waterworks!
The quirks of Waterworks are endless. You can hand-feed a family of eels that live in the river, says McGregor, and comical stories and quotes on walls will entertain visitors as they stroll through the park.
But the best thing about The Waterworks is how easy it is to let loose. The playful environment will turn even the stodgiest curmudgeon into a giggling, rambunctious 10-year-old.
Go There: The Waterworks
Where: Located along the historic 309 Road in Waiau Valley. From Auckland: Drive up State Highway 25 along the west coast of the Coromandel Peninsula from Thames for about 50 minutes. From Whitianga: Either take the 309 Road from the east coast of the peninsula or follow SH25 from Whitianga to Coromandel Town. Map.
Hours: Open daily 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. (November to April) and 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. (May to October). Closed Christmas Day.
Cost: Adults - NZ$25 ($17.60), children 15 and under - NZ$20 ($14.10) or NZ$75 ($52.77) for a family.
Pro tip: The region's subtropical climate makes the park enjoyable year-round. If you want to avoid the crowds, don't go during high season (the scorching summer months of December and January).

Q: 3 dimensional array result print in html table I am trying to print results in HTML table. Please help me to resolve.
<?php global $wpdb;

$result1=$wpdb->get_results("select name from table1");

$result2=$wpdb->get_results("select name from table2");

$result3=$wpdb->get_results("select name from table3");

$result_one = array();
$result_two = array();
$result_three = array();

//putting values in array

foreach ($result1 as $result) {
    $result_one[] = $result
}

foreach ($result2 as $result) {
    $result_two[] = $result

    foreach ($result3 as $result) {
        $result_three[] = $result

        $results = array(
            $result_one,
            $result_two,
            $result_three,
        );
        $array_length = count($result_one);
   ?>

Next i want to print $results in HTML table.
Example
------------------------------
   Name1  |  Name2   |  Name3
------------------------------
   Row1      Row1       Row1
   Row2      Row2       Row2
   Row3      Row3       Row3
   Row4      Row4       Row4
   Row5      Row5       Row5

Thanks for support.

A: <?php
$result1=array('ROW1','ROW1','ROW1');
$result2=array('ROW2','ROW2','ROW2');
$result3=array('ROW3','ROW3','ROW3');
$result_one = array();
$result_two = array();
$result_three = array();
//putting values in array
foreach ($result1 as $result) {
$result_one[] = $result;
}
foreach ($result2 as $result)
{
$result_two[] = $result;
}
foreach ($result3 as $result) {
$result_three[] = $result;
}
$results = array( $result_one, $result_two, $result_three);
?>

Name1	Name2	Name3

<?php foreach($results as $row){ ?>

<?php foreach($row as $val){?>
<?php echo $val;?>
<?php } ?>

<?php }?>

A: You can simplify your code a lot by removing the loops and just creating your array like this:
$result1=$wpdb->get_results("select name from table1");
$result2=$wpdb->get_results("select name from table2");
$result3=$wpdb->get_results("select name from table3");
$results = array(NULL, $result1, $result2, $result3);
$results = call_user_func_array('array_map', $results);
$table = "
\n";
$table .= "\t
Name1	Name2	Name3
\n";
foreach ($results as $key => $value){
    $table .= "\t
\n\t\t";
    foreach ($value as $key2 => $value2){
        $table .= "".$value2."	";
    }
    $table .= "\n\t
\n";
}
$table .= "
\n";
echo $table;

Formula One: VIDEO – Scuderia Ferrari preview the Chinese GP
April 12, 2016 Jon Wilde - @jonnywilde	Leave a comment
Scuderia Ferrari driver Kimi Raikkonen talks through his 2007 victory at the Shanghai circuit in his maiden and championship year with the Scuderia.
"There were tricky conditions, it was wet to start with and then the track was drying up, so obviously there was a point to change the Intermediates tires and then we got a ride. Obviously not the easiest race to anybody, but we came out quite easily." The track has changed little over all these years, but remains pretty interesting. "The circuit is quite challenging. First of all, you must mind the start with first few corners where you can get a lot of lap time, if you can get it right though. It's not an easy circuit, but it's fun."
Scuderia Ferrari Race Engineer Riccardo Adami previews the 3rd Round of the Formula One World Championship coming from Shanghai. Commenting on the unpredictable weather seen at the venue and the impact it has on how the team approach vehicle set up. Also reflecting on the possible impact of Pirelli brining the supersoft compound to the circuit for the first time.
"It will be a challenge in setting up the car because we have a very long straight and also slow speed and high speed corners, so we should try to find the trade-off between those particular aspects of the track with the set-up of the car. Shanghai is a circuit with a particular shape. Turn 1 is a corner with longitudinal and lateral load transfers. So, we'll try to find the right compromise between braking, but also the stability of the car in the corner." And the challenges don't end there: "The weather usually is very unpredictable. Over the last few years we have challenged ourselves with cold and rainy conditions. So, especially when it is cold, the front tackle becomes weaker, so then we need to tackle the set-up in this regard in order to find the good balance of the car"
This kind of track can make an engineer's life hard, but luckily there are moments of relief: "China is not a big issue with the braking because there is not a high energy under braking circuit, even if it can be tricky with the balance of the car as I said for Turn 1, but also the other braking places on the track. So, we need anyways to raise our attention on this topic." Finally, a word on the new challenges brought in by the 2016 regulations: "This year we will also have a third compound available, the Supersoft tire, while last year we had only Mediums and Softs, therefore it will be a very important item to understand the behavior of this compound in performance and degradation. So, we need to address a proper programme in order to find the right strategy for Sunday."

For the last several years we've been spending the 4th in San Diego with my parents and my brother's family. This race has become a fun tradition that started 3 years ago. It's hard to wake up early on the 4th but totally worth it. This morning, my dad joins us which is a fun treat! He drops us off at the start and heads off to find parking. We check in and do a warm up over to the car. Once we get my dad in a good spot to watch at about Mile 1, we head back to start.
We are at the start just 5 minutes out but are informed the race is postponed for 10 minutes until the Coronado Police give the okay. What to do…stretch. As I scan the crowd, I see a familiar face that appears to be an ICTN Tri Camp Alumni, Dan Cadriel. I do a double take because he lives in Arizona. He recognizes us, too. What a crazy, but fun, reunion!
After 20 minutes past the start time, it's time to go. Wow, I've never had a big delay like this before in any race! My legs feel flat and I've lost some motivation but I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like that. Lord, I don't know what will happen today but may I still smile and give you the glory! I'm not expecting anything great but with the Lord, I need to remember anything is possible.
Ready, set, go! We are off! I feel tired from the start and discouraged. Why even try to push hard, it's just too hard and there is no way I'll PR today. I know my dad is up ahead and I want to show him a good attitude. I smile as I pass and say hi.
Mile 1 is 7:13. Okay, well sub 7 pace is probably not an option. Gotta keep trying!
Mile 2 is 7:04. I'm feeling pretty good and I've noticed a blond gal way in the distance. Hum, I think I'll try to catch her. Lord, you know I needed some motivation to snap me out of this dull-drum pace.
Mile 3 is 7:01. Getting faster and getting closer to the blond girl! I've passed a few other girls now. We are now on the Amphibious Naval Base. It's fun to get a behind-the-scenes look.
Mile 4 is 6:54. Wow, a sub-7! Thanks Jesus! Just when I thought I was done, I'm back in the game! The lead runners are heading back and I'm looking for Troy. Wow, these guys and gals are super fast! This race certainly attracts the career road racers!
There is Troy! He looks great and he's smiling big. We high 5. I hope he beats his best time today!
Mile 5 is 6:56. Alright! Another girl goes by but I don't panic. I'm still gaining on the blond and I've done a second sub-7 mile.
Mile 6 is 6:56. Lord, You have turned this whole race around. I could actually get a PR! I pass the girl that passed me and move within feet of the blond! I keep pushing and soon I'm passing her. I tell her good job and continue on.
Mile 7 is 6:55. I just need to continue this pace and not let up. I move up behind a guy and try to pass but he picks it up. This goes on three more times. I know that he's using more energy with these surges and I patiently wait for him to get tired. Soon I am able to pass and we both encourage each other.
Mile 8 is 6:57. The last few miles of any race just seem long. I remind myself that my Dad is up ahead along with the finish line. There are fewer runners around me then in the previous years. I don't see any women at all. A guy passes me at a fast tempo and I try to go with him. He pulls away but he does help me remain focused.
There is Dad! I wave and tell him we'll meet up soon.
Ugh, this is getting tough! I look at my watch and it looks like I could PR but only by seconds. A PR is a PR and I'll take it if it comes!
Mile 9 6:56. Go, go, go! I dig but there doesn't seem to be anymore, I'm maxed out. I make the turn to the finish and bring it home. I cross the line and stop my watch. No way, it's a PR by about 2 seconds. Thank you Lord!!


If we were to say to you "blazer and jeans," how would you respond? Recoil in fear of a first date where that once-promising Tinder flirt turned out to have somehow borrowed your dad's wardrobe? Or is it that you just can't remember the last time you wore such a simple look? Back in the noughties this easy two-step outfit was a tried-and-tested smart-casual go-to for girls who didn't do grunge and wanted to look professional at every turn—so why did we ever give it up?
Nowadays, in the face of endless trends, a very outré outlook for spring and a sea of bomber jackets, the old-fashioned duo may not seem like an obvious choice. But inspect the closets of today's key arbiters of style and you'll spot this classic combo making a triumphant return. Pernille Teisbaek is doing it. So is Caroline Issa. Add in model Sasha Luss, Chiara Ferragni, Linda Tol, and, oh, just a little-known lady you may have heard of—Alexa Chung.
The 2016 update lies in the pieces themselves: These are no ordinary pinstripe office-appropriate jackets or basic skinny jeans. We're talking about velvet, embroidered or patterned tailoring set against raw-edged, straight-leg jeans. If ever an outfit provided 24/7 support, this is it.
Style Notes: Backless slip-on mules take this traditional look into the future.
Style Notes: With a waist-tied plaid shirt, Sasha adds a little edge to an otherwise polished ensemble.
Style Notes: Very plain jeans and a white tee act as the perfect backdrop to a statement jacket.
Style Notes: The street style set's fringed jeans can be easily smartened up with the addition of a classic black piece of tailoring.
Style Notes: You can easily look the business in this pairing, simply add posh flat shoes.
Style Notes: A velvet blazer and camisole are a sensual way to dress up the season's tough jeans.


I'm tired. You're tired. It's 2017.
In 2018, I predict we'll all be even more tired. What's more: I predict our readers are going to get more tired — and that means they're going to stop responding to this insane, frantic mass of news we're throwing at them by the minute.
This will have tangible results. Traffic numbers will stop breaking records. Celebrity journalists will lose some of their starpower. And yes, subscriptions and donations will plateau.
When this happens: I predict a round of handwringing from journalists who just can't understand why people aren't responding.
Fatigue is, of course, a natural result of the news cycle and the people making all of the news. There are impressive feats of journalism and whistleblowing and accountability surfacing every hour, and more that do not even crack the surface of "mainstream" media attention.
I'm not suggesting we stop doing any of this real journalism — I'm saying that we need to prioritize it, clearly and sometimes at the expense of our own egos and pet projects. It's also fundamental to our job to help tired people figure out which news of the day actually matters. Take a look at your timelines and notification panels: There's a whole lot more on there than vital, urgent, it's-your-civic-duty-to-know-this journalism — and most of it's redundant. We've all got social strategies and traffic goals and publishing holes we're trying to fill, and we know how to write headlines and social copy that oversell what we've actually got. The cost comes when people train themselves to ignore us.
There's an answer: forcing ourselves to ask the question "is this really worth a reader's time?" What if we chose to ask for our readers' attention only — and I mean only — when we had something new to say? I'm talking about raising the bar on sending the seventh tweet promoting the same story, commissioning an extra Facebook video that autoplays a point everyone already knows, or pushing the same alert as every other competitor in the market.
I expect that whatever we'd sacrifice in an afternoon of clickthrough rates, we would make up for in an undervalued component of reader trust: mutual respect.

Battlegrounds Mobile India teased the Sanhok map, and the release date remains a mystery
Battlegrounds Mobile India teased the popular Sanhok map through a poster on its official Facebook page. The game is the Indian version of PUBG Mobile, and its name was recently revealed by publisher Krafton. Battlegrounds Mobile India has yet to release date, but the developer said it will be released soon.
The game is expected to be very similar to the original PUBG Mobile, but with some India-specific changes. Krafton also announced that it will establish an esports ecosystem and introduce gaming content on a regular basis. The official BattlegroundsMobile India Facebook account shared a poster that appears to be of the location of Sanhok's Ban Tai map – Sanhok is one of the 4×4 maps on this map. -play.
Sanhok was added to PUBG Mobile in September 2018 and is now available on Battlegrounds Mobile India. Compared to the original Erangel and Miramar maps, this is a relatively small map, but larger than the last map Livia added to the game. The poster did not reveal any further details about the game and its release date remains a mystery.
The game will be pre-registered before being released to the general public. The developer recently shared the latest "Battlegrounds Mobile India" privacy policy, which requires players under the age of 18 to agree. These players must provide the phone number of their parents or guardians in order to play.
The policy states that if a parent or guardian believes that their child provided personal information without their consent, they can contact the developer and request that the information is removed from the system. PUBG Mobile launched in India in September 2020 along with 117 other Banned Apps.
Since then, Krafton has been working hard to bring the game back to India. A few months later, PUBG Mobile India was mocked as the Indian version of the game and marked the return of PUBG Mobile to the country. However, this was unsuccessful, and now, finally, Krafton announced Battlegrounds Mobile India, and its launch looks more promising.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II dose-finding study of the short acting β1-blocker, landiolol hydrochloride, in patients with suspected ischemic cardiac disease

The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of the short-acting β1-receptor blocker, landiolol hydrochloride (0.06 and 0.125-mg/kg), to placebo during coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a phase 2 dose-finding study. A total of 183 patients suspected of having ischemic cardiac disease and scheduled to undergo an invasive coronary angiography were randomized to groups treated with landiolol hydrochloride (0.06 or 0.125-mg/kg) or placebo. The heart rate, safety, and the performance of coronary diagnosis using landiolol hydrochloride were evaluated in a multicenter, doubleblind, randomized, parallel study. The patients' heart rates during the coronary CTA were 67.6 ± 8.7 and 62.6 ± 7.8 beats/min in the 0.06 and 0.125-mg/kg landiolol hydrochloride groups, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than the heat rate of 73.7 ± 11.8 beats/min in the placebo group (P = 0.003 and P<0.001, respectively). No adverse events or reactions occurred at an incidence of 5 % or greater, confirming the safety of landiolol hydrochloride. The proportion of correctly classified patients was significantly higher in the 0.125-mg/kg landiolol hydrochloride group than in the placebo group (73.6 vs. 50.0 %). Landiolol hydrochloride at doses of 0.06 and 0.125-mg/kg significantly decreased the heart rate compared with a placebo. The present findings suggest that landiolol hydrochloride is safe and useful at a dose of 0.125-mg/kg to improve coronary diagnostic performance during coronary CTA.

YA, SHURE, YA BETCHA! DIS IS DA LATEST AIR SERVICE TO SPROUT UP IN MINNESNOWTA. ALSO SERVING VISCONSIN, NORT DAKOTA, AND MOONTANA. TRY IT, YOU VILL LIKE IT!
If you are traveling soon, consider Lutheran Air, the no-frills airline. You're all in the same boat on Lutheran Air, where flying is an uplifting experience. There is no first class on any Lutheran Air light. Meals are potluck. Rows 1-6, bring rolls; 7-15, bring a salad; 6-21, a main dish, and 22-30, a dessert.
Okay then, listen up: I'm only gonna say this once. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, I am frankly going to be real surprised and so will Captain Olson because we fly right around 2000 feet, so loss of cabin pressure would probably indicate the Second Coming or something of that nature, and I wouldn't bother with those little masks on the rubber tubes. You're gonna have bigger things to worry about than that.
Just stuff those back up in their little holes. Probably the masks fell out because of turbulence which, to be honest with you, we're going to have quite a bit of at 2000 feet ... sort of like driving across a plowed field, but after a while you get used to it.
In the event of a water landing, I'd say forget it. Start saying the Lord's Prayer and just hope you get to the part about forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us, which some people say "trespass against us," which isn' t right, but what can you do?
The use of cell phones on the plane is strictly forbidden, not because they may interfere with the plane's navigational system, which is seat of the pants all the way. No, it's because cell phones are a pain in the wazoo, and if God meant you to use a cell phone, He would have put your mouth on the side of your head.
We're going to start lunch right about noon and it's buffet style with the coffee pot up front. Then we'll have the hymn sing; hymnals in the seat pocket in front of you. Don't take yours with you when you go or I am going to be real upset and I am not kidding!
Right now I'll say Grace. "Come, Lord Jesus, be our guest and let these gifts to us be blest. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, may we land in Duluth or pretty close. Amen."

Mostly a Rant Today
I took this shot at the Seattle Zoo in Woodland Park on a recent trip. I'm not sure what it is but I like the image.
So what do you say when you've got to say something?
This past week the Trump administration and Fox News continued to trumpet lines of racial fear and hatred, calling immigrants invaders and dangerous to our country. These words were echoed by the shooter in El Paso, whose deadly rampage was specifically directed at Mexicans. White nationalism is rapidly on the rise, fueled by the Trump's often repeated words. Meanwhile they've enacted vast budget cuts toward investigating organizations of domestic terror. Hmmm, I wonder why?
Dayton, Ohio, where I once lived, joined in the list of 250 US cities just this year to experience a mass shooting. Calls for Trump to own up to his words, apologize, and remove them from his 2020 campaign website have met deaf ears.
He is a shameless bully. Bullies don't attack powerful people who can fight back. Instead they build themselves up by victimizing the most helpless and vulnerable among us. In this case he's chosen poor people of color who have little or no legal power or ability to defend themselves. As such our country is now embracing a terror campaign against people whose only crime has been to come here seeking work and a better life for themselves and their families.
Clearly his supporters either don't care about his behavior or just plain love it. Some are probably even happy to see people killed. Some are one issue voters, whether for 2nd amendment rights, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant, pro-Israel, or simply what-do-i-think-is-best-for-me.
I'd like to think it's out of benign neglect that other people who voted him in still adhere to Trump, but it's not benign, not any more. So far Trump hasn't gotten millions of people killed (yet), just hundreds, or maybe thousands. There's still plenty of time for that. But how long can Christians support him and his administration despite vast corruption and his clearly un-Christian treatment of anyone who'se not white or rich.
The faces of children in detention centers, and those whose parents were swept up by ICE agents says it all. Our USA, a place we grew up to be proud of, a place of laws, justice, and freedom, a land of immigrants, is now and forever will be known as a place of state sponsored domestic terrorism. We have let it happen here. Three cheers for the red, white and blue.
Trump and white nationalism are a cancer on America.

THIS is the South African 2010 World Cup song everybody is talking about. FIFA and SAFA have not yet backed this track, so it's creators have decided to take the melody to the people. The foot-tapping beat is called "Stand As One" and after I listened to it it gave me tingles down my spine. Any feedback and comments will be passed onto the creators. Otherwise just enjoy it!
Come on Dance! As we blow our Vuvuzela!!
Yeah it was aired on 94.5 KFM last week by Darren Simpson on the KFM breakfast show. Great sound, great lyrics and great vibe. Definitely one of those songs that you just can't but help feeling patriotic and want to stand up and dance along.
I am forwarding the song to whackhead tomorrow.
Hopefully he will give it recognition and airplay.
@Craig: Good luck with Whackhead. Would be great to hear your song.
Is it available for watch anywhere? On YouTube perhaps?
I have just heard Craig L Furlong's song called Stars on 2010 and am completely blown away!!!
Enjoyed "Stand as One" but you guys must hear the other one too!!
Craig please post it on Utube soon!!! TURN UP THE VOLUME – and it feels like you are there!!!
Wow, so intrigued to hear this song now! How were you granted the luxury of hearing it if it's not on YouTube yet? Craig, please do share!
Hi Galen – I will put it on YouTube on Monday once I figure out how. It sounds like you could be my biggest fan.
Hi Galen – i have my song ready – have not done a video for it though so not sure how to upload it onto the net…. maybe you have some advise.
@Craig: Did you come right with uploading your song yet? If not, what you can do is just have an image of something showing with the song playing underneath. Find/create an image and import both your pic and song into Movie Maker. Make the image show for the duration of the song. OR you could have the lyrics show up as text slides while the song plays.
Let us know when it's up – I can't wait the hear it!
If You are looking to watch the World cup 2010 online you can try http://world-cup-2010-fifa.com/ this is what i've been using to watch some of my favorite TV show at work during my lunch time and it's an amazing experience – the quality of the sound and video is superb.
@Galen, any news from @Craig yet?
@Deems: Craig emailed me his song. Some suggestions were made and he then sent an edited version. It's not bad stuff but I have suggested that he creates a slideshow to compliment the vid and so that he can get it on YouTube. I will put it up on here when it's done, so watch this space!

BALLANTYNE, ROBERT MICHAEL (1825-1894), Scottish writer of fiction, was born at Edinburgh on the 24th of April 1825, and came of the same family as the famous printers and publishers. When sixteen years of age he went to Canada and was for six years in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. He returned to Scotland in 1847, and next year published his first book, Hudson's Bay: or, Life in the Wilds of North America. For some time he was employed by Messrs Constable, the publishers, but in 1856 he gave up business for the profession of literature, and began the series of excellent stories of adventure for the young with which his name is popularly associated. The Young Fur-Traders (1856), The Coral Island (1857), The World of Ice (1859), Ungava: a Tale of Eskimo Land (1857), The Dog Crusoe (1860), The Lighthouse (1865), Deep Down (1868), The Pirate City (1874), Erling the Bold (1869), The Settler and the Savage (1877), and other books, to the number of upwards of a hundred, followed in regular succession, his rule being in every case to write as far as possible from personal knowledge of the scenes he described. His stories had the merit of being thoroughly healthy in tone and possessed considerable graphic force. Ballantyne was also no mean artist, and exhibited some of his water-colours at the Royal Scottish Academy. He lived in later years at Harrow, and died on the 8th of February 1894, at Rome, where he had gone to attempt to shake off the results of overwork. He wrote a volume of Personal Reminiscences of Book-making (1893).

Professional's Category: Great Main Street
Main Street, Sylva
Main Street in Sylva blends the town's rich cultural history with a vibrant downtown atmosphere and the surrounding beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Main Street is anchored by the Jackson County historic courthouse, the most photographed courthouse in North Carolina. From its perch 107 steps above Main Street, this Nationally Registered Historic site houses the County library, the Genealogical Society, the Historical Society, and provides community meeting space. Sweeping down the hill from the Courthouse, locals and visitors alike are treated to an eclectic blend of retail shops, restaurants, breweries, cocktail bars, book stores, and residential apartments all located within buildings that are a part of Sylva's Nationally Registered Historic District. Main Street also serves as the epicenter for Sylva's annual festivals, parades, and community events. The one of a kind appeal of Main Street Sylva is undeniable, even in Hollywood. Main Street was cast as Ebbing, Missouri in the 2017 Golden Globe and Oscar winning movie "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri". Although Ebbing is a fictional town, Main Street is very real and continues to be the cultural center of Sylva's vibrant downtown.
Main Street, Waxhaw
Downtown Waxhaw has thrived throughout the years by its ability to evolve. Waxhaw started as a mill town, then reinvented itself as a destination for antiques, and is now becoming Union County's hub for diverse retail shops, award-winning eating and drinking establishments, local artisans, and cultural events. The downtown is split by the railroad track with Main Street on each side. An overhead pedestrian bridge joins the two, and when trains roll through you always finds excited people standing on the bridge as it travels beneath them. A lush green lawn follows the railroad tracks, with a walking trail that snakes between flowering trees. The streets are adjacent to the historic buildings, which date as far back as 1888. The downtown form-based code ensures that infill development maintains the historic experience. The Town is currently in the design phase for a $1 million pedestrian and bicycle improvement project that will further enhance the overall experience of Main Street.

Main Street, Holly Springs
After decades with little new development as growth occurred virtually everywhere except downtown, Main Street in Holly Springs is finally seeing a dramatic transformation. Today, Main Street offers only a couple Town-owned buildings, two small retail centers, an office condominium building, a handful of historic homes and churches, and a few other businesses. That's changing. Main Street is experiencing a flurry of development activity. More than 100,000 square feet of mixed-use space along two blocks is being constructed and will offer retail, restaurant and office spaces, bringing about 35 businesses downtown (with a future potential of 60 more with Coworking offices), creating about 500 jobs, and making a $49.7 million annual economic impact. Across Main Street from the mixed-use construction, a long-vacant home, said to be one of the town's oldest, is being renovated into a consignment store and coffee shop. A few blocks down, a home built in the 1840s where a former postmistress distributed mail out her kitchen window is being converted into a Southern-inspired tea room.
The Town is funding more than $9 million in infrastructure and streetscape improvements, constructing a new public parking structure, and building a regional stormwater area that will double as a gathering place with a stage, grass plazas, fountain and more. But even since 2000, the Town has laid the groundwork with several investments along Main Street, including construction of a Town Hall building, parking and more. Past efforts, combined with today's partnership and interest from private investors and the community, are leading the transformation of Main Street into a destination!
Academy Street, Cary
Academy Street is representative of the larger goals for Cary's downtown – to be a vibrant, distinctive destination that promotes organic gatherings, street music, and economic development. Connected by wide sidewalks that feature intermittent seating, "outdoor rooms" create unique gathering areas along the street and reinforce Academy Street's sense of place and highlight the beauty of urban outdoor space. Centered on a unified vision of a vibrant public space, the team developed a concept of interwoven design elements forming a path between the Arts District, Village, and Main Street. These varied elements create opportunities for engagement, support foot traffic near local businesses, and honor Cary's past while looking to the future. This melding of tradition with rich cultural experiences and commercial destinations is a trademark of successful downtown revitalizations, and one that is embraced by the Cary citizens.
Professional's Category: Great Transformation
Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, Winston-Salem
The Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, an urban mixed-use innovation district in Downtown Winston-Salem, has developed through the transformation/renovation of former R. J. Reynolds tobacco facilities adjacent to downtown Winston-Salem. The Reynolds structures were constructed primarily in the 1920s, with additions/improvements continuing through the 1960s. At that time, Reynolds began decentralizing its manufacturing facilities with its last downtown facility closing in 1990. Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center saw the potential in these vacant structures, and began using a building donated by Reynolds for research purposes in 1994. In the 2000s, 3 new buildings totaling 320,000 square feet were constructed. Since 2010, 7 additional former tobacco structures and land donated by Reynolds has been developed into 1.5 million square feet of mixed-use space. Preservation NC recently declared that the Innovation Quarter is home to the largest historic redevelopment project in the history of North Carolina. Today, the Innovation Quarter is one of the fastest-growing urban innovation districts in the country–a national center for research, education, and business in biomedical science, information technology, clinical services, and advanced materials. The Innovation Quarter is currently home to 150 companies, 5 academic institutions, 1,500 undergraduate/graduate students, and 3,600 employees. The district presently contains 1.9 million square feet of office, laboratory, and education space along with 1,230 multifamily units representing a $700 million capital investment.
Peace Street, Raleigh
Downtown Raleigh is growing and its downtown edges are expanding. In order to capture the growth and excitement in a meaningful way, Raleigh's downtown borders must transform into gateways that link the urban core to Raleigh's other industrial, residential and commercial hubs. The heavily traveled Peace Street hugs the northern edge of Raleigh's downtown and is a crucial connection to major thoroughfares and well-loved retail hubs like Seaboard Station and Cameron Village. Peace Street has lacked pedestrian, bicycle and green infrastructure and was lined with aging buildings and bridges. However, through an intense visioning process for downtown Raleigh, streetscape plans, new development and revitalization projects, Peace Street is transforming into the main street of a thriving urban neighborhood. As described in Raleigh's 2015 Downtown Plan, Peace Street "fills the gaps between existing assets to create a complete neighborhood that combines new housing options with unique local retail and dining."
People's Choice: Great Historic Rehabilitation
Mount Pleasant Hosiery Mill, Mount Pleasant
Located in Mount Pleasant's National Register Historic District, the 73 & Main Restaurant was originally built circa 1912 as a mercantile. The mercantile was converted to a hosiery mill in the 1930s and operated until 2009. After sitting vacant for over 8 years, the building was donated to the Town of Mount Pleasant. In 2017, the Town accepted a bid proposal, and the new owner meticulously rehabilitated the building to its 1912 glory using historic tax credits. This public-private project has breathed new life into downtown Mount Pleasant, prompting the completion of a municipal parking lot, attracting new businesses, and inspiring other property owners to examine potential improvements to their own buildings. This project is an example of what great historic rehabilitation can do for a community.
People's Choice: Great Place for Healthy Living
North Park Farmers' Market, Alamance County
The North Park Farmers' Market began through the efforts of Healthy Alamance to address community assessment priorities which identify access to care, economics, and education as the top three needs in Alamance County. North Park is an exciting new frontier in Burlington's food scene. Currently, there are no grocery stores offering fresh food in the surrounding neighborhood, and residents are eager for such a venue. The Farmer's Market at North Park fills this gap while facilitating relationships between consumers and producers and educating consumers on nutrition, local business, and food systems. Alamance County is an agricultural county at heart, and the Farmer's Market at North Park celebrates that heritage. The Market serves farmers by providing a new consumer base, while creating a community gathering space that provides residents fresh, healthy food and nutrition education.
