realiaSyllabification: re·a·li·a
Pronunciation: /rēˈālēə, -ˈälēə /
Definition of realia in English:
Objects and material from everyday life, especially when used as teaching aids.
Example sentences
- Teachers can provide this support by using the chalkboard, realia, and other visual aids.
- The trajectory of Ronell's writing is hard to chart because the centrifugal force of her thematic materials accelerates them into collisions with realia, whence new particles emerge.
- It also displays the tension between a traditional lexicon and evolving technology, where the obsolescence of a piece of equipment or a practice may leave specific terms without an underpinning in realia.
1950s: from late Latin, neuter plural (used as a noun) of realis 'relating to things' (see real1).

CHICAGO - Look past the cheesy carbs and b-boy poses, this shiny mo-cap reboot of cartoon juggernaut "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" offers slick entertainment that makes for a welcome surprise for middle school fare. Proving that executive producer Michael Bay has both grown up but it still frightfully in tune with what jazzes teens, this surprise box office hit is indeed a nice slice of a blockbuster spectacle, whether or not a viewer cares about the turtles or not.

Film Review: Director Ron Howard Delivers a Meticulous 'Rush'Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 27, 2013 - 1:53pm
CHICAGO – Defining the glory days of any sport is often centered on personal rivalries. The 1970s – notable for stand-offs like John McEnroe and Björn Borg – had a similarly contentious rivalry between Formula One car racers James Hunt and Niki Lauda, portrayed in Ron Howard's "Rush."

Film Review: Clive Owen, Carice Van Houten Star in Hollow 'Intruders'Submitted by BrianTT on March 30, 2012 - 9:53am
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Clive Owen is a fantastic actor, one of the best of his generation in films like "Children of Men" and "Trust." His co-star in "Intruders," Carice Van Houten, generally makes everything she does more interesting (and memorably appears in the new season of "Game of Thrones"). And yet neither of these talented thespians can do a thing to save "Intruders," an inert, boring supernatural thriller, a flick that joins the crowded subgenre of childhood boogeyman scare-fests that fail to find the spine-tingling power of what we think may be under the bed.

text: I'm looking into buying an Upscaler such as the AVT 3340 from AVtoolbox.co.uk (other companies have the same product in a different colored box). The plan is to run all video signals down a vga cable as the projector when installed will not be accessible for switching remotely. The problem is this little gizmo produces an output that it says is only suitable for 50hz monitors. The projector will either be a Philips sv20 or Sony CS5 and I can't find whether they would be compatible. Please help asap before we waste money on an unusable item.

Simple Arduno Rover with HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor.
Step 1:
YOU will need to build this:
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor
Battery holder for 6 AA batteries
6 AA batteries
Arduino UNO (I use UNO R2)
Motor Shield for Arduino (L293)
9g Servo
2 gear motors with wheels
CD box
4 male-to-male cables
4 female-to-female cables
few cable ties
I buy all components for this rover on ebay.
First you will need 2pcs Plastic Tire Wheel + DC 6V Gear Motor 48:1.
I solder 2 male-to-male cables and 104 capacitors.
I used slim CD box as a chassis, I made 2 holes on each side of CD box and then fixed gear motors with cable tie.
Step 2:
You can see all the components you need on this photo.
- HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor
- Battery holder for 6 AA batteries
- 6 AA batteries
- Arduino UNO (I use UNO R2)
Motor Shield for Arduino (L293)
- 9g Servo
- 2 gear motors with wheels on CD box chassis.
- 4 male-to-male cables
- 4 female-to-female cables
- few cable ties
Step 3:
Сonnection scheme is very easy.
- Connect 9g servo to SERVO_2 pins on motorshield
- Left motor to M4
- Right motor to M1
- Echo - pin A4
- Trig - pin A5
- Vcc - pin +5 ; Gnd - Gnd
I fix servo on battery box with cable tie
Step 5:
Put AFMotor.h and AFMotor.cpp to folder AFMotor in libraries folder Aduino.
hi there, i have completed a line follower robot, but i want to combine with he coding of HC-SR04 for stopping the robot. i use the same adafruit motor driver L293D..kindly seeking your help..tq
function void checkPath() { .......
........... line 67 ROBOT.ino
if (curDist > curDist) {maxAngle = pos;}
//what is the condition?
Do you have the code without the servo?
excelente modelo y trabajo
Thank you for the code I tried to make something similar to this but I had trouble with the code and now it works!
hello I cannot download your code I get an error
ok thanks
To bad it don't work here. One motor refuses to work ?!
Annoying that the code is in rtf-format, plain Chinese would have been nicer.
I try to make this, but I cannot upload the codes. some errors are coming... ? how can I add NewPing.h libry? if I an using L298N H bridge for motors, instead of motor shield how the codes should change ?
Hi, Nice robot. did you have any problems with spiking results from the ultrasonics?
I rotate mine at 15 degree intervals reading in both directions. giving me 7 values 15 degrees apart. But I get two things happen, odd spikes and swapping values, for eg:
4 5 8 15 17 21 9
3 5 7 35 18 21 8
4 4 7 14 16 3 9
4 6 9 34 17 22 7
Notice the center values swapping without the bot moving 15 35 14 34 ??
Also 2nd last column 21 21 3 22 Where did the 3 come from.
The code is simple, I have been a code cutter for years so I am no stranger to debugging.
Only this one has the better off me so far.
Any ideas
Nice Job!!! 2 Things:
- You can use a 9V battery pack (less weight, less space)
- If the code wont compile even with the NewPing code you need to install the Adafruit motor shield library Link: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-motor-shield/library-install
L293 drivers, 2 motors, servo consumes too much power for 9v battery. Using 9v batteries is waste of money. Only rechageable 9V are good, but I dont have one.
got an error with the code
I checked the code it will not compile :(
Ок, I uploaded correct version of the code. It works. Try it.
Okay looks good it compiles okay. I will let you know how it turns out. I am waiting for another HC-SR04. You might want to mention they will need to install the NewPing library. You can find it here --> http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=106043.0
Thanks for sharing !
Cool, Thanks!
I have made similar one earlier. Watch it at
If anybody want code of it, mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I have made similar one earlier. Watch it at

My dogs would love this, then Eat it.. Sadly..
What did you put on the bottom of the CD Box as a third wheel? Or does it work without a third wheel?
I glued small plastic ball, which was cut to make a platform for glue.
Watch also faster version without servo

50th Anniversary Special
By Sam Boykin | Photography by The Charlotte Observer archives
Posted: Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013
Shem Blackley was a young civil engineer and recent Charlotte transplant who started working for Duke Energy in 1959, right around the time the utility company began clearing and surveying land to build Cowans Ford Hydro Station and create Lake Norman.
It was mostly sleepy rural farmland with some small mill communities along the river, remembers Blackley, 81. The scale of the project was incredible, and its place in Duke Power history was very important. Duke had built other dams up and down the Catawba River, but this was the first new project in 20 years.
Blackley worked on the 350-megawatt hydro station until its completion in 1963, followed by many other Duke Energy projects, until he retired in 1989. Blackley still lives in Charlotte, and during the summer often drives up to Catawba County near Sherrills Ford, wheres hes had a family lake cottage since 1963. We got one of the early leased lots, Blackley says. Three generations of us have grown up going to the lake. Just about every weekend in the summer my children and grandchildren are up there.
Blackley says that 54 years ago, when he first started working for Duke Energy, he never could have imagined how dramatically the Lake Norman area would grow and change.
I think its exceeded everyones expectations, he says. The project was originally conceived to be an electric power and water supply system with some recreational aspect to it. It has accomplished all of those objectives and so much more. Its more successful than we ever dreamed.

Q&A: What songs would you recommend for a high school graduation video slide show?
by Elentari86
Question by tintagel25: What songs would you recommend for a high school graduation video slide show?
My niece will be graduating from high school next year and Im making a video slide show for the party. The program I am using will also allow me to set it to music the only problem is i dont know what music to play in the background. Right now there will be 4 sections: Her by herself, Her with her mom, Her with her dad, and Her and her friends. The music i have picked is Gary Allan "Tough little boys", Maroon 5 "She will be loved", Lee Ann Womack "I hope you Dance", Dionne Warwick "Thats what friends are for", and The Corrs " So young". What other songs would you recommend
Best answer:
Answer by Susie
The Graduation Song which I think is by Vitamin C. I might also pick Bad Day by Daniel Powter, along with other hit songs.
By the way, good choice on Maroon 5.
Give your answer to this question below!

New Zealand host Australia at Eden Park on Saturday looking for revenge after the Wallabies prevented them gaining outright possession of the world record for most consecutive Test wins.
The opening game of the 2014 Rugby Championship ended in a 12-12 stalemate between the sides in Sydney, the first draw between the teams in 12 years.
The All Blacks saw their 17-match winning run end with the draw and Steve Hansen's side will be smarting from the loss of their winning streak – and the chance of making history.
But the hosts will fancy their chances at Eden Park, where they have not lost since a 23-20 defeat to France back in 1994.
The Wallabies have only won four of their 25 matches at the venue – the last of those four victories coming in 1986 – while the All Blacks have not tasted defeat against Australia since 2011 in Brisbane.
Hansen admits he was disappointed with the performance in Sydney and he is looking for the world champions to bounce back in front of a home crowd after an intensive week of training.
"While we were disappointed with the draw last weekend, we are excited by the opportunity that presents itself this weekend," Hansen said.
"It's another Test match against Australia, the chance to win the Bledisloe Cup and the first home Test of the Investec Rugby Championship in front of our home fans.
"We have been working hard on all aspects of our game this week and there's a definite resolve to improve the quality of our performance on Saturday."
Ruled out
Experienced All Blacks centre Ma'a Nonu and back-row forward Jerome Kaino have been ruled out of the game with shoulder and elbow injuries respectively.
But Conrad Smith has recovered from injury and comes into the team in place of Malakai Fekitoa at outside centre, while Ryan Crotty is promoted from the bench to replace Nonu at inside centre for his first Test start.
Liam Messam has been selected at flanker in place of the injured Kaino and prop Charlie Faumuina is back on the bench after illness.
The Wallabies have announced an unchanged 23-man line-up, with Head Coach Ewen McKenzie believing they deserved another chance after pushing the All Blacks so close.
He told Australia rugby's official website: "For us, we know we need to be more clinical in certain areas, but overall we feel the same group of guys deserve the opportunity to have another crack.
"Selection is never easy, although we've made a lot of tough decisions in this space over the past 12 months with the ultimate goal of winning games. You're always looking to improve and I'm confident the sum of those hard choices has put us in a better position today.
"While we didn't quite get there on Saturday night, I do know that we've made good progress since our first Test against New Zealand a year ago.
"That gives us some confidence heading into what will be an extremely tough challenge in Auckland on Saturday night."
Regarding the All Blacks' 20-year undefeated record at Eden Park, McKenzie added: "Sporting records are there to be broken and we'll look forward to the opportunity of playing the All Blacks in their own backyard on Saturday night."

December Brides
First off, hi! I've been lurking on this board for a long time, but this is my first time posting in here.
My fiance and I got engaged in the Magic Kingdom right after Wishes (HalloWishes, actually) on Nov. 2. We immediately talked about having a Disney wedding, but then, for many reasons (mostly me being really indecisive, ha), started going in another direction with our potential plans. Now I'm 100% back on the Disney kick and ready to call them and start planning our wedding!
Our ideal wedding would be in early December 2013. I've got a couple questions for all the other past/present December brides out there...
1) Christmas decorations: I love Christmas. I really, really do. And I love seeing WDW all decorated for Christmas. But I'm a little reluctant about having those decorations in my wedding photos. Did anyone think about this or have a December wedding and regret having to have Christmas decorations in some of the photos? Or am I just really overthinking this?
2) Pop Warner, Christmas parade, etc: While I've heard early December is not super crowded, I've also heard that Pop Warner week is in early December, which means lots of groups of kids in the resorts and parks. And then there's also the Christmas parade taping, which I assume will bring crowds, too. Is this so bad that it should be avoided? Should I worry about any of the resorts I pick for guests filling up?
Thanks for any insight.

Welcome and congrats!
We got married in January but I can speak to some of these things. As far as crowds go, it's hit it miss and is going to depend on what day you get as well and I would think where the days fall as to weekends/ thanksgiving/parade taping. Beginning of December isn't the empty time it was 5 years ago.
As far as Xmas decor being a part of photos, that's going to depend on where and when you get pics. If you are able to do a MK bridal session the Xmas-y part is Main Street which may or may not be a photo option for you depending on when you can be in the park and the castle has the lights but they are pretty and wintery not exactly Christmasy as you know! if you seek out Xmas decor its there, but it's avoidable if you want that "timeless" look! Also consider there can be limited dates available for bridal pics.

I haven't visited during early December in years, and yeah, I've heard it's not as slow as it used to be.
I think I read somewhere that December is a black out month for bridal portraits at MK? So I assumed that wouldn't be an option anyway. I was thinking more about the resorts - I'd like photos at the Grand Floridian since I want our ceremony to be at the Wedding Pavilion.
We may move it to 2014 to give us more time to save anyway. Are you glad you had your wedding in January?

I was in Florida from the 9th-19th Dec this year, not sure if you were interested in the Universal side of things but we were there 9th-11th and it was so empty, we did IOA in a couple of hours!!
We got to MK at 12 noon on the 12th, 15 minute queue for space mountain but most other rides in the park, (apart from the new fantasyland which admittedly did hold some heavy queues; 90 minutes for enchanted tales with belle!) were 5-10 minute queues.
There were enough people for an atmosphere, but few enough people to be able to get a good parade spot without waiting around for ages beforehand!
Epcot and HS were similar, soarin' FP ran out towards the end of the day as did Test track but other rides and general park business was low.
AK felt busier but I dont recall queuing for more than 20 minutes.
the 18th and 19th were far more busy than the week before..But in all honesty even those busier two days were fine.
Help that helps a little

yeah, there are those black outs - not sure how that all works, but there were still a lot of xmas decorations up end of january (we got married on the 25th, pics on the 26th). i think whomever does your photography will be able to get non-xmasy shots for you. i cant think of a single picture that looks like xmas in any of ours! of course it would be a bit more challenging for certain things - like i have a great fish eye lens shot of the whole GF lobby and im not personally a fan of that crazy gingerbread house in the first place anyway. i cannot remember if the stairway at the GF has garland on it? i think not, so there are plenty of places that can be non-christmasy!

Although falling oil prices signal global economic weakness, U.S. stocks are likely to move higher next year, according to Global Co-CIO Gary Black.

Global Co-CIO Gary Black shares his perspective on the timing of interest rate increases and why he believes equities can move higher.
It's not only investors who have been risk-averse since the credit crisis. Of late, it seems that plenty of company managements, especially in retail, have been similarly concerned about repeating their collective experience of the credit crisis.
When a doctor takes a patient off his meds, he does so usually only after the patient has shown sure signs of recovery. Generally, the patient himself realizes when he no longer needs the meds.
The U.S. stock market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, is up 17.3% year-to-date through May 15. This is pretty impressive, given the doom and gloom in the newspapers about Europe's recession, slowing growth in China, and the U.S. government's sequestration cuts (anyone remember the sequester?).

I wrote about much of it, although it is fictional in parts and not a biography, in my novel Drunken Duck. It was a different time (in the sixties) so not as relevant as either a fictional story or biography about today's armed forces.
It's on Amazon and Amazon UK with a synopsis plus the Prologue and half of C. 1 on the "see inside" but in spite of it's cover it is not for everyone, the squeamish or children.
it's not pornographic, nor are there many swear words, some would think there are no swear words, and for someone over 15 or so it's okay, but it's stark reality about war and what people suffer through can be graphic and disturbing and there is some sensuality about relationships.

During the year that recently ended, the federal armed forces suffered an average of at least 200 to 300 deaths every month in Chechnya. That is the estimate given by Denis Trifonov, a military analyst for the British strategic-research center "Jane's Group," in a February 23 interview on Radio Liberty. Under questioning, Trifonov also revealed another estimate: He and his colleagues believe that the federal forces in Chechnya suffered some 9,000 to 11,000 combat deaths during the second war's most intense phase, from its beginning in late summer 1999 to early 2002.
It is instructive to compare those two estimates. If the Jane's Group analysts are right, the federal forces lost roughly 4,000 dead annually during the period from summer 1999 to early 2002. Over the twelve months of 2003, by contrast, they lost roughly 3,000 dead. (Let it be noted that Trifonov did not give these figures himself; they are derived by applying simple arithmetic to the numbers that he did give.) Thus it would appear that federal combat deaths are indeed fewer now than they were three or four years ago, but not nearly few enough to justify the Putin administration's claim that the war is effectively over.
Trifonov emphasized that Moscow's official estimates, to the extent that it even makes such estimates public, are gravely flawed. They almost never include deaths suffered by FSB personnel, or by the border guards--even though the latter have been involved in major firefights with rebel guerrillas trying either to enter the republic clandestinely or to leave. Another gap is that the federal interior ministry's troops in Chechnya consist of police units from localities all over Russia, and their dead and wounded are usually returned to the regions where they were based. Trifonov said that, as far as he knows, consolidated statistics for these losses are not even compiled. Also, the federal combatants include "very many" Spetsnaz servicemen from Russia's ministry of justice, but Trifonov has not once seen any data about their combat casualties.
Finally, said Trifonov, the official figures never include deaths of the Kadyrov administration's gunmen; the federal interior ministry, even when it does give casualty figures, includes only those servicemen from units directly under its command.

Man accused of assaulting childJune 12,2014Man accused of
assaulting child
BENNINGTON A North Adams, Mass., man is being held in prison without bail after police said he repeatedly sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl in Bennington about four years ago.
Jesse LaFountain, 24, was arraigned in Bennington criminal court Monday on one felony count each of aggravated sexual assault on a person younger than 13, aggravated repeated sexual assault and aggravated repeated sexual assault on a child.
All three charges carry maximum terms of life in prison. The latter charge carries a mandatory minimum term of 25 years in prison.
In an affidavit, police said a 14-year-old girl was interviewed May 8 about allegations that LaFountain had sexually assaulted her when she was 11.
The girl told police she knew LaFountain because he was a friend of her mother and lived at their home from about October 2010 to June 2011. She said she hadnt told anyone about what allegedly happened until the week that she spoke with police.
Police said LaFountain was interviewed May 28 and he told them he did not really remember anything sexual happening between himself and the girl.
LaFountain, who does not have a criminal history in Vermont, is being held in the Rutland jail.MORE IN This Just InSOUTH BURLINGTON — Vermont Gas Systems announced this morning to members of the news media...

It was the hardest thing I've ever had to say to a young person and I felt nervous saying it.
I've had to say difficult things before. When I was a teacher, I had to punish young people for various misbehaviours. When I was a youth worker, I had to ban them from the Youth Centre if they'd done something particularly heinous. Often they thought this was unfair and I was immediately unpopular, as I knew I would be.
But with Olly it was different. This felt momentous, as if there was no going back once I'd said it, as if I was a judge delivering the verdict that would change everything.
We'd been meeting as therapist and client for a couple of years. He was sixteen and getting ready to leave school, so the end of our working relationship was imminent. But that wasn't what made saying what I had to say so difficult. As a therapist, I've ended relationships with hundreds of young people and, although I approach each ending carefully, they rarely feel momentous. Usually, we've done our work and the young person is ready to move on.
This was different. His best friend had moved to another country the year before and, to Olly's great sadness, they'd lost touch. Despite an initial flutter of conversation between them about his friend's exciting new world, and despite Olly's attempts to keep his friend updated with the latest gossip from the old world, his friend communicated less and less.

Bad place 2 stay construction site the should have paid me to stay there!!!
August 19, 2013
Business Traveler
This place was dirty,sheets had brown and yellow stains on them. I cut my foot on a spring that was sticking out of the mattress. The cleaning staff keyed their way in without knocking while we were getting dressed. The manager did nothing to rectify it. I would never stay here again and would recommend that no one else does, unless you want to deal with a dirty room, rude staff, safety issues, and possible injuries. Which the manager seem ok with having guests deal with. Pay the extra couple of dollars and stay elsewhere. ...

There might be only one thing we love more than fashion, and that's animals. So when Refinery 29 sent us this clip of very fashionable pup checking out the latest and greatest in footwear at New York Fashion Week, we felt like we'd hit the jackpot. Rudy speaks with a vaguely British accent and is a regular Clifford when it comes to finding the best fashion week footwear. Watch him strut his stuff in front of the tents, as he intrepidly head out into the fashion wilderness in search of kibble and a fresh pair of pumps. [Refinery 29]

I'm sure we'll have a lot of reports about the dissent outside the DNC convention in Charlotte. There should be a bigger Occupy presence in Charlotte than there was in Tampa for the RNC convention, and the Undocubus, filled with undocumented immigrants who plan to challenge the Democrats on comprehensive immigration reform could make some waves. But the protest of about 800 in the streets of Charlotte last night, which was smaller than anticipated, did not give me much hope for a real breakthrough.

Happy Labor Day?
|By: cocktailhag Monday September 3, 2012 3:55 pm
It's no coincidence that the decline of unionization over the past 40 years has exactly tracked the parallel decline of middle-class wages, the disappearance of pensions, the increasing numbers of those who lack health insurance, skyrocketing executive pay, and vaulting inequality.

Come Saturday Morning: Why Do Republicans Push ALEC-Written Bills Even After They're Rejected?
|By: Phoenix Woman Saturday February 11, 2012 6:45 am
As part of an ongoing look at ALEC and its pet legislators, I'm looking at why certain ALEC bills (such as the Minnesota anti-voter "voter ID" bill which, having been shot down by both an ACLU lawsuit and a Mark Dayton veto, is back for its third go-round as a ballot measure) keep getting revived even after being shot down for unconstitutionality and other reasons.
Indiana Democrats Gamely Holding Out Against Right to Work Bill
|By: David Dayen Wednesday January 25, 2012 10:40 am
Indiana Democrats in the State House walked out again to deny a quorum, as Republicans attempted to pass their right-to-work bill and clear the last hurdle before moving the bill to Mitch Daniels for his signature. The problem now is they're now subject to GOP adopted $1,000/day fines for not showing up.
Indiana Republicans Approve Fines for Boycotting Democratic Legislators
|By: David Dayen Wednesday January 18, 2012 1:00 pm
Democratic House lawmakers in Indiana walked out again to protest a right-to-work bill, after there were signs of a deal on a vote this week. Republicans in the House approved $1,000-a-day fines for the lawmakers. Understand that in Indiana, legislators only make about $23,000 a year.
Indiana Right-to-Work Bill Passes in 6-Minute House Committee Hearing
|By: David Dayen Tuesday January 10, 2012 2:10 pm
Republicans in Indiana wasted no time. After House Democrats returned to work yesterday, the GOP immediately scheduled a Labor Committee vote on the divisive right-to-work bill, then passed it in six minutes, straight party line, with no amendments allowed. Protesters shouted "shame" and "tar and feather."
Unclear Outcome on Indiana Right to Work Fight
|By: David Dayen Monday January 9, 2012 1:45 pm
As Indiana Democrats continue to stay out of the State house to protest the right-to-work (for less) legislation that Republicans want to hammer through, the Senate Labor Committee passed right-to-work on Friday, but one Republican joined all the Democrats in voting against it. That may indicate the bill may not pass the House.
Indiana Democrats Face Fines as They Continue Walkout to Block Right to Work Bill
|By: David Dayen Friday January 6, 2012 5:25 pm
Most Indiana Democratic House members stayed out of session for a second day yesterday to protest a right-to-work bill Republicans want to pass. Today becomes a point of reckoning, because after the third day of missed sessions, the majority Republicans, under a law passed last year when the Democrats went out of state to protest various bills, can impose fines of up to $1,000 a day.
Indiana Democrats Denying Quorum on Legislative Session to Block Right to Work Bill
|By: David Dayen Thursday January 5, 2012 6:50 am
If Democrats can refuse to gavel in the session, they begin to squeeze Republicans toward a March 14 deadline to conduct business. Already you hear some state Republicans expressing nervousness at their "long agenda" of other bills. This looks like a winnable fight, especially if the public engages.
