Lument Provides $21.5 Million in Freddie Mac Financing for Affordable Housing in El Paso
NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lument, a national leader in commercial real estate finance, announced today that it provided a $21.5 million Freddie Mac unfunded forward commitment loan to facilitate the substantial renovation of Jackie Robinson Memorial Apartments, an affordable multifamily property in El Paso, Texas. Lument is the combined organization of legacy industry experts Hunt Real Estate Capital, Lancaster Pollard, and RED Capital Group.
"By combining the Freddie Mac unfunded forward loan with tax credit equity and other soft funding sources, we were able to put in place an attractive debt structure to help improve these much-needed affordable apartments," said Josh Reiss, director at Lument.
Originally built in 1975, Jackie Robinson is a 186-unit, 4% low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) community in the Housing Authority of the City of El Paso (HACEP) portfolio. As part of the transaction, the property will receive Section 8 assistance that will facilitate the conversion to long-term, project-based voucher (PBV) rental assistance. Subsequently, all 186 units will be restricted to tenants earning income at or below 60% area median income (AMI).
The $21.5 million Freddie Mac loan features a low, fixed interest rate, 18-year term with three years of interest only, and a 35-year amortization schedule. The forward commitment term will be 30 months with one six-month extension.
Jackie Robinson will undergo substantial interior and exterior construction, including a gut renovation of all residential units, from new drywall to new kitchen appliances. In addition, exteriors will be improved with new windows and doors, repaired or replaced roofs, and new stair towers.
Construction began in October 2020 and is expected to be complete within 24 months.
Mr. Reiss and the Lument team have financed over 960 units in partnership with HACEP, totaling $41 million. Since 2015, the team has financed over $565 million in RAD transactions for a total of approximately 6,500 units.

The central duet between the Dutchman (Egils Silins) and Senta (Anja Kampe) was gripping in it's horrific and seemingly inevitable progress between cursed mariner and his potential saviour in this evening's revival of Wagner's "Romantic opera" Der fliegende Holländer at Covent Garden. At the end of 140 minutes of continuous music drama I felt I had been guided expertly through an emotional mangle.
I find it difficult to know what to make of Der fliegende Holländer: composed around 1840 and first performed in 1843 in Dresden, audiences clearly found it challenging at the time. It is a fully completed work but it leaves me somewhat perplexed 150 years later. Perhaps the best explanation - if one is needed - is that Wagner the artist and Wagner the person were both searching. The actual stormy sea crossing which Wagner attributed as the inspiration was just the trigger which helped him write out his wanderings in a form of an opera of a mystic legend. Der fliegende Holländer appeared nearly twenty years before Gounod's "Faust", that I saw a few weeks ago. They're comparable because they are both about a metaphysical bargain based on myths, but Charles Gounod's "Faust" comes over as a far less radical score despite the later date; that's an indication of just how progressive was the thinking of the young Richard Wagner.
There are many tantalising pre-echoes in this music of Wagner's later achievements: if the Prelude to Tristan und Isolde is considered the first flowering of atonality, then surely there are the pre-echoes or seeds here in Der fliegende Holländer. And looking back, this is a fully complete opera in three acts as a development of the German opera style.
Wagner's heroines, particularly the ones in his early operas, seem only to have discovered idealistic partnerships and certainly not to have discovered or developed any physical sensuality or sexuality. That telling omission, which seems to be clearly explained by Wagner's personal life, is party compensated by a reliance on symbolism and allows Wagner to deal with the big themes of life and death; love, trust and betrayal. The shared journey of Der fliegende Holländer is to work through the youthful Wagner's exploration of these themes.
Der fliegende Holländer is so full of symbolism that a literal production would not help. Royal Opera's current clever, slightly abstract, production is pretty good at providing a staging which helps explain the action although for me it didn't reveal any further insights. It suggests a lot and doesn't force a literal interpretation on anything, that's fine: it lets the music speak. The costumes progress from reminiscent of the mid-nineteenth century to being present day and I didn't see the justification for that so it was a distraction.
The conductor, Jeffrey Tate, clearly has a huge sympathy and understanding of the score which delivered a great partnership between the large orchestra and the singers. The brass was impeccable.
The Dutchman, Egils Silins, started a little cool (maybe that was the characterisation?) soon warmed up and was singing convincingly enthusiastically by the time he met Senta, who could have saved him from his fate.
Senta, Anja Kampe, emerged from the crowd and took her place centre stage and sang with huge commitment: this was a live performance of a long opera so it was fine to very occasionally over commit and we had a thrilling performance. Steersman, John Tessier, sung heartily and was rewarded with a dunking in real water by his ship mates.
The audience at Covent Garden was one of the most committed, appreciative I have been amongst at the Royal Opera House. No Blackberry's being surreptitiously texted, no iPhones posting updates on FaceBook. Is that a characteristic of a Wagner audience or has the penny dropped at last that it is smarter to not to use a smart phone at the opera?

Q: Do I have to use a usize to access elements of a vector? I have a 2D vector that rejects indexing using i32 values, but works if I cast those values using as usize:
#[derive(Clone)]
struct Color;

struct Pixel {
    color: Color,
}

fn shooting_star(p: &mut Vec<Vec<Pixel>>, x: i32, y: i32, w: i32, h: i32, c: Color) {
    for i in x..=w {
        for j in y..=h {
            p[i][j].color = c.clone();
        }
    }
}

fn main() {}

When I compile, I get the error message
error[E0277]: the trait bound `i32: std::slice::SliceIndex<[std::vec::Vec<Pixel>]>` is not satisfied
  --> src/main.rs:11:13
   |
11 |             p[i][j].color = c.clone();
   |             ^^^^ slice indices are of type `usize` or ranges of `usize`
   |
   = help: the trait `std::slice::SliceIndex<[std::vec::Vec<Pixel>]>` is not implemented for `i32`
   = note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `std::ops::Index<i32>` for `std::vec::Vec<std::vec::Vec<Pixel>>`

If I change the code to have
p[i as usize][j as usize].color = c.clone();

Then everything works fine. However, this feels like it would be a really bizarre choice with no reason not to be handled by the Vec type.
In the documentation, there are plenty of examples like
assert_eq!(vec[0], 1);

By my understanding, if a plain number with no decimal is by default an i32, then there's no reason using an i32 to index shouldn't work.

A: Unlike Java, C# or even C++, numeric literals in Rust do not have a fixed type. The numeric type of a literal is usually inferred by the compiler, or explicitly stated using a suffix (0usize, 0.0f64, and so on). In that regard, the type of the 0 literal in assert_eq!(vec[0], 1); is inferred to be a usize, since Rust allows Vec indexing by numbers of type usize only.
As for the rationale behind using usize as the indexing type: a usize is equivalent to a word in the target architecture. Thus, a usize can refer to the index/address of all possible memory locations for the computer the program is running on. Thus, the maximum possible length of a vector is the maximum possible value that can be contained in a isize (isize::MAX == usize::MAX / 2). Using usize sizes and indices for a Vec prevents the creation and usage of a vector larger than the available memory itself.
Furthermore, the usage of an unsigned integer just large enough to refer all possible memory locations allows the removal of two dynamic checks, one, the supplied size/index is non-negative (if isize was used, this check would have to be implemented manually), and two, creating a vector or dereferencing a value of a vector will not cause the computer to run out of memory. However, the latter is guaranteed only when the type stored in the vector fits into one word.

You can't scare people into getting fit or going green
New research published today by the Economic and Social Research Council shows that positive, informative strategies which help people set specific health and environmental goals are far more effective when it comes to encouraging behaviour change than negatives strategies which employ messages of fear, guilt or regret.
Recent years have seen increasing efforts to encourage people to do more for their health and for the environment, for example by recycling more, using cars less and taking more exercise. But what messages have been successful, and why?
Theories have long suggested that by changing attitude, social rules and peoples own ability to reach their goals, people's intentions or decisions to act in a particular fashion will be changed, which in turn determines the extent of change in behaviour. But the supporting evidence for these widely accepted ideas was weak; there was a need to take a closer look at experiments that changed attitudes, norms and self-efficacy in order to measure the true extent of any changes in subsequent intentions and behaviour.
The research project, 'Does changing attitudes, norms or self-efficacy change intentions and behaviour?', led by Professor Paschal Sheeran of Sheffield University, provides the crucial missing evidence about the role of these three factors in behaviour change by reviewing all the successful experiments in the past 25 years and quantifying their effects on decisions and actions.
The team identified 33 distinct strategies for changing intentions and behaviour across the 129 different studies. The most frequently used strategies provided general information, details of consequences and opportunities for comparison. Yet the most effective strategies were to prompt practice, set specific goals, generate self-talk, agree a behavioural contract and prompt review of behavioural goals. The two least effective strategies involved arousing fear and causing people to regret if they acted in a particular fashion.
They also examined whether the characteristics of a particular study influenced how well changes in attitude, social norm and self-efficacy influenced intentions and behaviour. There was little evidence that the way factors were measured influenced the findings, though studies that used students or had short follow-up had stronger effect on intentions.
The team's findings show that changing attitude, social norms and behaviour succeeds in making a statistically noticeable difference in people's intentions and behaviour about 60 per cent of the time. The team found the amount of change in intentions and behaviour to be 'meaningful' and of 'medium' size according to standard procedures for describing effect sizes.

HTS Industrial is the leading manufacturer and supplier of temporary buildings. Our blog is home to a range of articles, help and advice allowing you to make the right decisions when it comes to sourcing and choosing these structures.
Feel free to browse the browse our content and make use of our expert knowledge in areas such as design and build quality, speed and method of installation, planning requirements, pros and cons against other solutions, whether to hire or buy, and much more.
Up until recently most supermarkets were built as traditional brick and mortar structures. Now, though, many supermarkets have taken on a more modular, prefabricated approach creating many benefits associated with speed, cost and environmental issues.
Temporary buildings have a wide range of uses. If you've decided that the time has come to make use of them, you probably already have an idea on how you're going to use it.
It is worth mentioning that the term 'temporary building' can be a little misleading. Although they were designed for short-term use in the past, advancements in materials and technologies mean that they're more durable and long-standing than ever.
Many people are now referring to temporary buildings as 'instant' or 'rapid-build'. Giving them the label of 'instant temporary buildings' would probably be stretching the imagination a bit – blink and a car park becomes an industrial warehouse!
However, comparing the supply and build time to that of bricks and mortar and the 'instant' title starts to earn its place – after all, being able to accommodate company growth and expansion in a couple of weeks instead of 12 months is probably going to create a fairly instant boost to many business balance sheets. How long does it actually take though to acquire a fully operational temporary building and can the fast turn-around really help create those 'instant' business benefits?


Happy Halloween. Busy day, still coughing, thrilled to get an extra hour of sleep tonight! Here is the only trick-or-treater in my house this year. I made this Twister costume for the sweet girl. Very easy--I sewed it but you could use colored duct tape to put it together too.
Look at these adorable jack-o-lantern gourds I won from Snowman Hill. Aren't they adorable? Check out their blog!
Please check these wonderful ladies out! I have a hard time passing these on, because I love you all. So instead, do me a favor and comment on 5 people's blogs today--make someone's day a little brighter. Thanks!
Here is a little shelf I made from a lonely drawer, some scrap wood, and some scrapbook paper. Very quick and easy!
Thanks for all of your well wishes and sweet comments on my wreath and blog.
So for these I started with your basic fake pumpkins, spray painted them with oiled bronze spray paint. It was too black-- I dry-brushed bronze craft paint over the top and then added details in cream. I think my address pumpkins need a little vine or something around them, but it has to be good looking, nothing too fake.
PS--All of a sudden my pictures show up as HTML code when I am typing up my post and my font is different, but it all posts fine. Anyone know why and how to change it back? Thanks!
Restlessness got the best of me. I scrounged up some old stuff to make this fall wreath. I liked the silver platter in the middle, it reflects the light well.
Now daughter has it too! The aches are the worse part! Hubby and teenager doing better.
I am slowly getting a little fall decorating done. I wanted to add pops of burnt orange to my blue and brown color scheme that lives in my family room. I used the orange spray paint on this candlestick and plaque thingy. I couldn't find a burnt orange, so just used the bright orange and then put stain over the top. Some of the orange rubbed off on the candlestick and the original gold popped through, which I liked. The brown ceramic pumpkin came from Ross for $2.99.
I still want to paint the thrift store vase a more sea blue, but couldn't find a spray paint in that color. However, I did just find one at Michaels yesterday, but I was too cheap to buy it at full price, so I am waiting for a coupon. I added the little pumpkins around the lamp. Today, maybe, I am working on painting some fake pumpkins. Hope to show those to you soon. BTW—I decided to go with chalkboard paint on my wine rack, thanks all for the suggestion. I haven't done it yet though. Happy fall! I might be ready to decorate for Christmas soon, we have already had snow and are supposed to get 2-5 inches Sunday and Monday—argh!

Apple Watch's killer feature just may be telling time
Staff Writer, Macworld |
When Apple introduced us to the iPhone, there was a lot to absorb: Inertia scrolling, pinch to zoom, slide to unlock, predictive text, not to mention desktop-caliber web browsing, email, and maps on a 3.5-inch screen. But even with 15 apps, advanced sensors and the greatest iPod the world had ever seen, Steve Jobs was most proud of its most basic function: "What's the killer app? The killer app is making calls!"
As I watched Tim Cook put the finishing touches on the Apple Watch demo he started in September, I half-expected to hear him say, "What's the killer app? The killer app is telling time!" Everything you can do on Apple Watch—from the notification glances to the heart rate monitor and answering calls—is meaningless if it's not an exceptional timepiece. It's far more important to Apple Watch's success than the iPhone's dialing capabilities ever were. I can go days without using my iPhone to talk to someone, but I expect the lion's share of my interactions with Apple Watch will be no different than they are with the watches I already wear: Checking the time.
Precision movement
For the better part of two years, Apple's competitors have all been doing their best Jony Ive impressions. Ever since we first starting hearing rumblings that Apple was working on some kind of wrist-wearable device, we've been flooded with a steady stream of smartwatches, all trying to beat Apple at its own game.
The customizable Modular face shows the time in a few interesting ways.
The first out of the gate was Samsung's Galaxy Gear, a clunky, bulbous affair that tried to shrink a 5-inch Galaxy S4 into a 1.63-inch screen. It was filled with the sort of things we expected a wearable to do, like fitness apps and notifications, but none of them actually improved on the common wristwatch. Case in point: Its grand innovation was a camera built into a strap, and one of the marquis software features was its ability to remotely control your Galaxy phone.
It was a classic case of doing too much. Apple's philosophy has always been "a thousand no's for every yes," but a lot of the smartwatches on the market try to cram as many functions as possible without focusing on the one that matters: the clock. Even Motorola and LG, which went with classic circular designs for their Moto 360 and Urbane smartwatches, don't offer as refined an experience as their enclosures would suggest.
Apple Watch is different. It might not have as many watch faces as Pebble Time or even Android Wear, but the ones Apple has crafted truly take horology to a new level. Apple isn't just making an iPhone companion; it wants to stake out a claim in the annals of watchmaking history. Apple Watch doesn't have the handcrafted perpetual motion mechanism of a Rolex Oyster, but in place of those tiny wheels and gears is a precision and customization not possible on a traditional timepiece.
Unlike most smartwatches out there, Apple built a watch and worked backward. Everywhere you go, time is never more than a touch away. When you're looking at notifications, the time stays in the top right corner. It's at the center of the home screen. And when you lift your wrist it instantly appears.
The time persists all over the watch's interface.
It might seem strange that Apple hasn't opened up a time-telling API as part of WatchKit, but Apple Watch's faces are its identity, much more than apps or glances. Just look at how proud the company is of its chronograph face: "Modeled on the very first analog stopwatches, this face measures time in incredibly precise increments. It uses two hands: one for total time and a second for lap times. A customizable timescale measures long and short time periods."
Apple has even made it simple to swap out faces on a whim, but unlike Pebble or Android Wear, it is keeping a tight control over them. A variety of faces is the biggest advantage Apple Watch has over traditional timepieces, but rather than boast dozens of inferior faces, there are but nine to choose from. Most of them are tasteful modern spins on classic designs, like the tap-dancing Mickey Mouse or the Movado-like minimalism, and none of them are over the top. Perhaps the fonts will get more futuristic and the animations wilder down the road, but for the introduction, Apple is paying tremendous respect to the art of timekeeping while still embracing what sets Apple Watch apart. It's modern elegance at its finest.
Infinite loupe
Even the customizable elements—complications, as Apple calls them, another nod to the serious world of watchmaking—harken back to a time when wristwatches were a staple of our lives. Somewhat ironically, the proliferation of the iPhone has made watches somewhat irrelevant, but Apple understands and respects the history of the industry it is entering. The little details are all impeccably designed and thoughtfully placed, and none of them distract from the centerpiece.
A classy smartwatch has to be a good watch.
We were all waiting for Tim to pull out some killer Apple Watch feature it was keeping under wraps, but that moment never came. As developers sink their teeth into WatchKit and start figuring out how to best utilize the screen and new navigation methods, people are surely going to find all sorts of uses for the latest Apple gadget—but first and foremost, there will always be timekeeping. With Watch, Apple is standing on the shoulders of giants, keeping in the exquisite tradition of Rolex, Tag Heuer, and Breitling to rekindle people's love of telling time.
The iPhone didn't need to be a great phone to succeed, but Apple Watch needs to be a great timepiece, especially if Apple expects to sell many of those five-figure Edition models.

If you're looking for a medical equipment financing, you're probably already aware of the high cost of healthcare technology and the difficulty of obtaining funding to acquire such devices. At AvTech Capital, we work with a wide range of clients, from technology companies to medical offices. With our resources, we have underwritten many projects in the millions of dollars to successfully complete the acquisition of the tools our customers need. Some of the specific types of financing we have obtained for our clients include capital and operating leases, lines of credit, tax-advantaged financing, and term debt. Here's a rundown of some of the specific programs we offer.
If you're interested in hospital equipment leasing, AvTech Capital has you covered. We provide multiple terms and a quick application process. We also offer rates for a variety of credit scores. Some of the features of your business that we'll want to analyze on your application include annual revenue and years in business. We will help you find the financial resources you need at a price you can afford.
Financing from AvTech Capital can be used for a wide variety of purposes. You can use our medical equipment leasing solutions to obtain EKG machines, diagnostic tools, office furniture, lab equipment, instruments, vital signs monitors, exam tables and lights, and computers. Other possible acquisitions include ventilators, diagnostic ECG, healthcare IT, mammography, nuclear medicine, surgical imaging, hospital beds, and ultrasound machines.
If you're interested in a chiropractic equipment lease, we can handle that, too. Compared to other medical device leasing companies, we have a great amount of flexibility in the clientele we work with.
As an example, we recently provided a $670,000 lease for a behavioral health services company. It specializes in providing behavioral health and other medical services to the underserved. Some of the equipment obtained in this lease included furniture, fixtures and equipment, along with technical devices.
Another transaction we recently completed was a $4 million healthcare equipment lease. These funds will be used to provide imaging systems and other medical equipment to several hospitals throughout America. Both new and used medical devices have been obtained with the funds from the lease. The lease also included a leaseback for equipment that was already obtained.
Our healthcare equipment leasing services can provide similar resources for you and your operation. We can provide financing for up to 100% of a machine's cost or needed upgrades to facilities.
Looking for financing and are needing it quickly? AvTech Capital can deliver the necessary funds that will provide the healthcare equipment financing your operation needs. Medical equipment financing from AvTech Capital comes with fixed-rate terms. Funds can be used for a variety of purposes, including tenant improvements and the purchase of new or used equipment.
One deal we recently completed was a $2 million lease for a large hospital. The funds are being used in stages over time to update surgical rooms. Obviously, this is a vital part of a hospital's ongoing operations, and we were proud to be a part of this exciting project.
Another project we recently closed successfully was the funding of $2 million on three leases for a language translation company. The enterprise used its acquired funds to purchase office equipment, and to expand their facilities in Houston, TX, and Phoenix, AZ. We ensured that all ordered equipment was successfully delivered. Meeting deadlines was of paramount importance for this client, and AvTech Capital oversaw the entire transaction to ensure all targets were met.
Besides medical equipment like MRI machines and CT scanners, funds from an AvTech Capital loan can be used to purchase any necessary equipment for a medical facility's operations such as HVAC equipment. Because this type of hardware is cost prohibitive, a long-term relationship with AvTech Capital can ensure your organization has the tools it needs to succeed.
Research and scientific operations can certainly benefit from an infusion of funds to pay for on-going operations. Medical research in particular requires adequate financial support, and AvTech Capital has worked with these types of organizations.
For instance, we recently underwrote a $1.3 million acquisition of medical equipment for a publicly-listed pharmaceutical company. These important tools will be used in the laboratory to conduct vital research. A portion of the lease was used to reimburse the company for funds that were previously used to pay equipment vendors. Our scientific equipment leasing service has allowed this pharmaceutical group to focus more on research and development.
Another example of a lease that was successfully completed was a $1.2 million arrangement for a company that operates several medical facilities in the United States. The group was able to use its influx of cash to lease respirators and defibrillators for several of its medical clinics.
A third example of a recent lease we did for a non-profit healthcare provider was a $900,000 deal. The organization provides assisted living arrangements for the elderly. Funds were used to acquire furniture, fixtures, and equipment for a new facility. We provided progress funding over a period of 6 months, ensuring that funds were obtained in a timely manner.
Hospital equipment financing could benefit other types of medical groups as well. Imaging centers, ambulatory surgery centers, oncology facilities, and physician groups are just a few examples of other institutions we can assist in the acquisition of vitally-needed funds. Staffing services, outpatient clinics, and acute care hospitals are also good candidates.
In the near future, as more Baby Boomers reach retirement age, there is expected to be greater demand for assisted-living centers, stand-alone memory care centers, and skilled-nursing facilities. Besides constructing such buildings, funds could be used for acquisition, refinancing, or substantial rehabilitation of existing facilities.
AvTech Capital's laboratory equipment financing services have also been used to improve medical office infrastructure. A recent loan we provided was a $750,000 outlay for improvements to office space at a multi-specialist physicians group.
At AvTech Capital, we have experts who work with healthcare providers to obtain the financial solutions they need. Our goal is to build a long-term collaboration with medical institutions so that they can have a dependable source of funds when they need financing.
In order for your organization to successfully acquire the equipment it needs at affordable lease terms, you have to have an experienced partner to help you navigate through the complexity of this industry. AvTech Capital will take time to learn about your business goals and needs. Then we will sit down and develop a customized financial game plan that will help you to achieve your objectives at terms that are acceptable to you. The ultimate goal is to create a sustainable alliance where our services can help your business grow over the long term.
With AvTech Capital financing, you'll be able to acquire the tools you need to succeed. Whether you're looking for property upgrades, new equipment, or an electronic healthcare records (EHR) system, our financial resources can give you the ability to get to where you want to be.
Besides building a partnership with you, we will also try to understand the market in which you operate and how you can be more competitive. With our experience in healthcare financing, we are one partner you don't want to leave behind.
If you would like to hear more about the resources your business may be qualified for, give AvTech Capital a call at 801.748.2200 or send us an email.

Miranda Lambert Shares Pictures From Her Anniversary Beach Trip With Husband Brendan
Billy Dukes Published: February 2, 2022
Miranda Lambert just proved that her husband Brendan McLoughlin isn't the only one who looks good in a swimsuit. On Instagram, the "If I Was a Cowboy" singer offered five pictures of the two of them on their anniversary getaway.
Both Lambert and McLoughlin look as relaxed as you can imagine, with sand between their toes and the sound of the surf behind them. The trip was to celebrate three years of marriage.
"Spent a few days in the sun with my sunshine," the country star writes in a post pushed to social media on Wednesday night (Feb. 2).
The couple's wedding took place on Jan. 26, 2019. It was a surprise wedding, as very few people even knew she was dating at the time. McLoughlin is a former model and New York police officer.
He has yet to post anything about their anniversary or their trip together. The five pictures that Lambert offered find her giving him a smooch and standing alongside him with a grin on the beach. He's shirtless, while she's wearing a black-and-white starred bikini top, with a ball cap that reads "Dallas."
Subsequent photos find Brendan in pastel trunks and sunglasses. Lambert also can be found in a couple of different dresses, looking ready for a casual night out on whatever town they were in.
"You guys make me so happy," Lindsay Ell writes in the comments. "Happy anniversary you two!!" Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town also commented, as did Jessie James Decker, Elle King and more.
Lambert has often shared pictures from the couple's travels, including a lengthy roadtrip during the pandemic and trip out west for the 2021 Grammy Awards.
"If I Was a Cowboy" is Lambert's current radio single, from a new album anticipated in 2022.
PICTURES: See Inside Miranda Lambert's Spectacular Nashville Mansion
Miranda Lambert and her husband, Brendan McLoughlin, recently sold their luxurious Nashville mansion, and fans will recognize several of the spaces pictured online from various social media posts. The 5-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom, 5,800-square-foot house is gated and very private, and it sold for $2,595,000.
PICTURES: See Inside Miranda Lambert's Rural Tennessee Estate
Miranda Lambert paid $3.4 million in 2016 for her rural estate an hour south of Nashville, which comprises 400 acres of lush green farmland. The property includes rolling hills, rustic living spaces and an enormous horse barn, as well as three residences, a lake with a boathouse and a six-bay garage. There are 75 acres of fenced-in pastureland, as well as lighted walking trails that wind through the woods leading to a pavilion, with seating for 60 for private concerts.

Let Me Tell You About Mah Boy Kongming
Posted on August 24, 2022 July 8, 2022 by Irina
Titles: Paripi Koumei, Party People Kongming, Ya Boy Kongming!
Genre: Comedy, supernatural, music
Studio: P.A. Works
Almost 2000 years ago the west was divided. Three powerful kingdoms waged endless war and the populace knew no peace. One day a man with a dream came forth, a simple but powerful dream to unite the land and heal its wounds so that the people could once again know joy. And for this dream to come to pass, he sought the help of the great sage Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, who would become one of the greatest war strategists of all time. Kongming spent his life on the battlefield wracking up unbelievable victories for his master and for the sake of that dream. But that was almost 2000 years ago. Now that Kongming has awakened in modern-day Shibuya, what will he do with his wonderous intellect? Will he find a new dream to follow? How about Eiko's dream of becoming a world-class singer? The entertainment industry can be ruthless, how will an old warlord deal with it?
I was very curious about how China was viewing Ya Boy Kongming. After all, Kongming is a central and respected character in both classic Chinese literature and history. I did find one article repeated over and over again saying that the nation took offence at one particular scene but all the individual blog posts and Reddit posts I could find by actual Chinese viewers were very positive. Make of that what you will. I guess it's a good sign if people in China could see the show at all.
Ya Boy Kongming isn't exactly a powerhouse animation or anything. The visuals are fine. I like the character designs and turning Kongming into an ikeman was a fun touch. But they're not very detailed and tend to be a little inconsistent. Still, it's not a show I ever thought looked bad, maybe just a bit unimpressive.
The sound design is quite important here since music plays a central role. They do that thing that a lot of musicals (idol) anime do where one song is repeated in almost every episode for some reason and I got pretty fed up with it. I also liked the OP way more than that song so I wish they had just repeated that instead.
The brunt of the show rests on Kongming's performance. His presence is so overwhelming that it can be felt even in episodes that don't feature him. As such his performance was key. And it was great. I particularly enjoyed how the actor could switch from a hardened more imperative tone to a softer gentler inflection with so much subtlety that you would hardly notice it but somehow knew exactly what was happening in the scene. He also injects a slight mirth in most of his delivery that made me smile.
Eiko also has a beautiful singing voice!
Story & Characters
In case my synopsis was unclear, Kongming of the Three Kingdoms fame, is unexplainably transported to modern-day Japan where he promptly decides to help a young barmaid with dreams of becoming a popular singer. He is starting at the very bottom so he has to build up a whole career from scratch.
The premise itself is rather amusing. Not mind-blowing but you can see the potential of it. It becomes considerably more interesting if you have read the Three Kingdoms as passages are directly references and you can see how the strategies are modernized and reapplied to fit the circumstances. It makes you really appreciate Kongming's brand of genius. And honestly, as far as fictional masterminds go, Kongming is better than average. You know how it's very difficult to write a genius unless you are a genius so fictional masterminds usually have a lot of luck on their side or there are some narrative tricks that make them sound very smart even if they aren't actually saying or doing anything.
Well, in this case, there was an actual template to go from. And countless examples of real-world war strategies that can be used as the basis for Kongming's. So he does come off as genuinely brilliant and occasionally pretty devious. This strengthens the character considerably.
he really did
Now it is a bit of a double-edged sword. Ya Boy Kongming is a character-driven story. You can change the events around quite a bit, you could make Eiko an aspiring actress or even an environmental activist instead of a singer and as long as the characters are the same in spirit, you will end up with largely the same show. That means that these characters have a lot on their shoulders.
The entire cast is great. They are all likeable and very different. They all have distinct personalities and issues to work through. All the main characters have a decent arc, even Nanami who is introduced pretty late in the season. And I just liked them for what it's worth. But…
In my opinion, they all pale next to Kongming. They come off as more subdued and generic when he enters a scene and since his presence hangs over the whole show, they never really get a chance to shine that bright.
Have you ever watched a movie or live-action TV series where one actor is just so much better than the others? So whenever they're on they draw all the attention and when you turn off the TV, it's the only character you remember? People around just seem like people acting in comparison. It happened to me lately with Leonardo DiCaprio. I'm not a huge fan of the man but boy, he was acting circles around the rest of the cast and it made the movie feel unbalanced. It messed up the suspension of disbelief.
I think this proves my point!
Well I got the same impression from Kongming. Not because the actors had any discrepancy in their performances, but the character of Kongming is just much more lovingly crafted and there's a depth to him that I couldn't see in the rest. It does help that Kongming is a preexisting character with a lot of history to draw from. That makes him difficult to compete with.
I keep talking about the Three Kingdoms and history and so forth. I should clear this up now. You absolutely do not need to know anything about Kongming to enjoy Ya Boy Kongming. You can go in completely blind and not miss a thing. The show is careful to not assume that their audience has any prior knowledge of the subject matter without talking down to them. I just get the impression that the author could craft a very detailed and nuanced Kongming because they had previous writing to get inspired from and that was missing for the other characters.
I also think that if Kongming wasn't there I probably would have thought the cast was great. Because it was.
I enjoyed the show a lot. I thought the pacing was fantastic and I was looking forward to each episode. I really had fun with the strategies Kongming devised and like I said, they actually made sense and were impressive. Except for the last one.
good instinct
SPOILERS AHEAD – JUMP SHIP IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THEM!!!
Ok so hear me out. Eiko wants to participate in this very popular music festival but in order to get a spot, she needs to have a single post on pinstragram reach 100 000 likes before the deadline. It's a huge task for her. She's competing with another band to do so and this other band is actually openly buying likes. Basically, they are organizing a pop-up concert where they will flash a QR code. People can scan the code to automatically like their concert post and be entered to get paid. Kongming basically hijacks the event and gets a huge amount of likes for Eiko before people realize they aren't liking the right post.
This is based on the 100 000 arrows strategy which was amazing. In his previous life as a war strategist, Kongming was on a particular battlefield with a general who did not like him. In order to get rid of Kongming, the general asked him to ready 100 000 arrows for the troops to use in the next few days. This was an open ploy to just get him out of the way as it was clearly impossible and the General would then be able to rub the failure in his face. However, Kongming accepted happily and had the arrows ready the next day.
Turns out that he had gotten a bunch of roughly soldier-shaped scarecrows on their fleet of small boats and sent the boats out towards the enemy camp during a foggy dusk where it would have been tough to make out anything more than shapes. The enemy attacked the decoys with a barrage of arrows and Kongming simply brought back the tethered boats and retrieved the arrows stuck in the scarecrows.
don't mess with the Kongming
I really liked this strategy. It's simple but you can see how it worked. You can argue that the fog was lucky but Kongming also knew the terrain and area, he knew that there was a high likelihood of fog there. It's not perfect but I think it's a great strategy.
And the hijacking of the votes was supposed to be an update of that. But it sort of messes with the tone of the series. Ya Boy Kongming does show us that at times Kongming has had to be fairly ruthless to win wars. He does have a fair amount of blood on his hands and although he does not relish violence, he also doesn't shy away from it. But Eiko is unfailingly gentle and kind. And her influence as Kongming's new master has softened him considerably. We see him as not only honourable but altruistic. And seeing his take away another band's opportunity for Eiko was a bit odd. I mean he does ultimate also help that other band out but they lose their spot in the festival. What's more, in the aftermath, the other band legitimately earns 104 000 likes without paying for them while we only see Eiko get to 100 000 even and 70 000 of those were from people that thought they were liking another person's post. It just seems a bit unfair.
Also KABE Taijin. I love Kabe, I'm really glad he's in the story. But when you really think about it, Kongming made a huge deal about how necessary he is and when push came to shove, he didn't really do anything.
There you go, those are my two minor nitpicks about the narrative. Otherwise, I really have nothing bad to say. It's not going to be for everyone. It's a goofy character-driven comedy and I know a lot of my contemporaries don't like comedies. But if you do like comedies, it's a lot of fun.
You might like this anime if:
You enjoy light comedies
My favourite character:
I think Kongming is the only right answer but I also did really like Kabe even if I think he's an inferior character, I enjoyed his arc a lot.
Suggested drink:
a Dong Zhuo
Every time Eiko sings – clap
Every time Kongming requests a command – take a sip
Every time we see pinstagram – take a sip
Every time there's a 3 kingdoms flashback – pay attention
Every time anyone thinks that Kongming is cosplaying – take a sip
Every time we see a bottle of water – switch to water
Every time anyone says "proposal" – take a sip
Every time Kongming is being Eiko's biggest fan – take a sip
Every time we see Eiko's actual biggest fan – take another a sip
Every time someone sings the "whispers of love" line – take a sip
Every time there's an ancient Chinese remedy – drink some water again
Every time the end credits change – now you'll have to watch them all!
Every time anyone says "Three Kingdoms" – take a sip
I forgot to talk about Eiko's performance costumes – casual street wera! Amazing!
I save all my screencaps on my Pinterest and you can find more there if you are interested. But I still like to show you a few in the post. If you're like me, screencaps are something that really helps you decide to watch an anime or not.
11 thoughts on "Let Me Tell You About Mah Boy Kongming"
Weirdly enough, one of the worst things about the ending for me was how it concluded its secondary plot regarding Nanami and her band. She just kinda… forgave her awful producer for borderline abusing her and her friends for years, and the anime audience is expected to do so too because he got a 5-second flashback that made an effort at redeeming his character? Nah, I just couldn't buy it.
I think the ending was offbalanced. Maybe it's because the source material goes on like Aria says.
magicconan14 (Aria) says:
I feel like the ending, although not the best logically speaking (it's hard to depict a Death Note-style game of tactical warfare without much to show visually!), was the best the series could have done, considering the series is still ongoing in manga form. It tied everything up with a neat little bow without shooting itself in the foot, should a chance for a season 2 roll around.
Anyways, anyone who was following me at the start of the season will remember how smitten I was with it, because it delivers on pretty much everything it sets out to do while your expectations are low. It's pretty accurate to what I've seen of the manga, too.
Sweet, I should check out the manga at some point
TheCrow says:
"And seeing his take away another band's opportunity for Eiko was a bit odd."
Spoilers follow!
I noticed that, which is why I have an answer ready! In my head canon, Kongming knew how miserable Nanami felt. So his action put her on course to adjust her career to one more of her liking — which is what we saw happen! Kongming's action even redeemed Nanami's agent/handler! So everyone won.
That might constitute nothing more than wishful thinking, but it works for me!
I'd go as far as arguing that Kongming gave Eiko the streetperformer license (the second package) precisely so she could meet Nanami. It's Kongming all the way down.
I still think it sucks for Eiko though.
I'm not entirely sure. It might. I mean, under my estimation, Kongming orchestrated a metting between two people who have problems at the opposite end of the spectrum, but leaves the details up to them. It's sneaky, but emphasising personal responsibility. Them meeting in itself wasn't such a bad thing.
I tend to agree with you on the like-theft, but even that might be at the very least an interesting aspect, if they ever get around to questioning what "being heard by as many people as possible" means in terms of industry. To Kongming, the likes are a means to a goal (as the opposition buys them straight out): to give Eiko the opportunity to be heard by people. To Eiko? It's a weakness in the show (and Eiko's development therein) that I can't tell (unless I didn't pay attention, or missed something – then it's a weakness in my watching). In general, Eiko and Kongming's relationship was way too smooth, considering that Kongming just implemented strategies while only asking her (vaguely) about goals. It works for a gimmick show; less for a character show.
It's a ice headcanon. One I can get on board with.
Still Kongming assuming he knowsbetter what a young woman he's taked for less than a minute with wants is kind of presumptioous. Up until then he always asked Eiko what she wanted before proceeding even when he thought it was in her best interest. He could have extended the curtesy.
But for me it's the second part. The part where Eiko only really got 30 000 votes by herself. The show seems to tell us that she actually didn't win or deserve the shot she just stole it. That's going to bother her down the line, isn't it. With what we know about the character? She's going to get imposter syndrome for sure.
I had fun with this show. I agree with your thoughts about the ending, it was a little weird. I also agree that Kongming made the show to an unusual degree. I felt the show was meandering around a little when it comes to music. There's this I-want-as-many-people-as-possible-to-hear-my-music line that's rather common in anime, but there's no underlying why, and no sense of, say, the local scene. We know next to nothing about the folks who frequent that bar where Eiko's singing, for example. Is she singing her own songs, there, or are her singing and songwriting aspirations separate at that time? She's got a broad musical taste, but what is it she wants to do? Is that famous arranger the best choice for her? If so, why? None of this seemed to matter much – and that's, I think, a problem for the ending: at the end of the ending, that girl band gets to make the music they want to make. Kongming helped them on a personal level; I have a pretty good idea why. Eiko? Well, she reaches her goal; an opportunity to be heard by many. I don't have a good a good idea what that means to her (maybe she doesn't either?). And that leaves the ending unbalanced between personal goals and business goals. Otherwise, Kongming's plan could be seen as a win-win situation on two levels: personal and business, and that would have been a worthy finale.
In the end, that didn't matter much to me, though. I liked the ending well enough. I realised early on that I wasn't going to get much out of it with respect to balancing personal and business expectations, so I didn't have any of those expectations anymore by the time we hit the ending. It was definitely one of the better shows of its season; great fun.
And the opening is one of the best of the year so far. So much fun to watch. (At some point I learned that the song is cover version of a Hungarian party hit. Talk about unexpected but fitting, considering the scene.)
A Hungarian party song! Why does that make me so happy?
I always assumed Eiko just did covers. 90% of the time she's singing that one song form the americain singer… I guess there's the ramen song too

MSN Shopping Updates Storefront
By Sean Michael Kerner | August 01, 2005
Hold on to your credit cards, there's a newly revised shopping portal in town.
After a two-week beta testing period, Microsoft has launched its revised MSN Shopping portal. The comparison shopping engine is now packed with more "stuff" and boasts a six-fold increase in items and a hundred times more merchants.
The new site has been rebuilt from the "ground up" according to Microsoft. The new features include an RSS feed function, which allows users to subscribe to an RSS feed from any search results page. Users can now receive an update whenever a new item or price is changed, via their subscribed RSS feeds.
MSN's embrace of RSS comes as a recent Pew study found that 65 percent of Americans don't know what RSS is. Forrester Research has recently reported that only 2 percent of North American adults currently use RSS.
Beyond RSS integration, MSN Shopping has also beefed up its search capabilities, allowing users to search by price, features, name and user rating. Ratings and reviews are another new feature, which now allows MSN users to add their two cents about products.
A new "recently viewed" feature shows users their last five viewed items. Scott Austin, MSN Shopping's director of programming, said in the MSN shopping insider blog that this feature will help users have a more continuous shopping experience across sessions with recently viewed products, categories, searches and saved pages.
MSN's shopping site enters an increasingly crowded space, which includes comparison shopping engines from Yahoo, Google, AOL, Shopzilla and Shopping.com.
Though the space is filling up, the stakes in the online comparison shopping market are high. According to a March study from Shopzilla, 59 percent of consumers begin their shopping search at a shopping site aggregator as opposed to going directly to a merchant's site.

Q: wkhtmltopdf Error "No such file or directory" (Django) I am trying to use wkhtmltopdf to create a PDF from HTML code. I have used xhtml2pdf and pisa but I have had problems with css styles. well, wkhtmltopdf is my last option.
I have followed this steps.  https://github.com/incuna/django-wkhtmltopdf
sudo aptitude install libfontconfig
pip install django-wkhtmltopdf

and if I add 'wkhtmltopdf' to my INSTALLED_APPS it will recognize the wkhtmltopdf path.
INSTALLED_APPS = ["wkhtmltopdf"]

Well, when I try to generate a PDF generate an error.
this is my code:
from wkhtmltopdf.views import PDFTemplateResponse

 context = {
            'linkedin1':self.linkedin1,
            'twitter1':self.twitter1,
            'facebook1':self.facebook1,
            'current': get_current_base_url,
           }

    html_path = "app/folder/page1_1.html"
    response = PDFTemplateResponse(request=request,
                                   template=html_path,
                                   filename="hello.pdf",

                                   )

In settings:
WKHTMLTOPDF_CMD_OPTIONS = {
'quiet': True,
}

My error:

I think it cant't find 'wkhtmltopdf'.
My wkhtmltopdf install path is:
/home/user/.virtualenvs/app/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wkhtmltopdf/

well I add in settings:
WKHTMLTOPDF_CMD = '/home/user/.virtualenvs/app/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wkhtmltopdf/'

To find the wkhtmltopdf's and appers "path permission denied"
What is wrong?, what is missing?, what is the problem?.

Ububtu server 12.04/64 bits,
Django 1.4,
Pyrhon 2.7,

cd ~
mkdir tmp
cd tmp

1) libwkhtmltox-0.11.0_rc1-amd64.tar.bz2 and wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-amd64.tar.bz2  from  http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list
 wget https://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/libwkhtmltox-0.11.0_rc1-amd64.tar.bz2

 wget https://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-amd64.tar.bz2

2) Create subfolders and move the files into them:
 mkdir libwkhtmltox
 mkdir wkhtmltopdf

 mv libwkhtmltox-0.11.0_rc1-amd64.tar.bz2 libwkhtmltox
 mv wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-amd64.tar.bz2 wkhtmltopdf

 cd ../wkhtmltopdf
 tar -xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-amd64.tar.bz2

4) access to 'lib'. there we find a file named  'libwkhtmltox.so', then move it
cd ../libwkhtmltox/lib/
sudo cp libwkhtmltox.so /usr/local/lib/

5) access to include, there we find a folder named 'wkhtmltox', then move it
cd ../include/
sudo cp -avr wkhtmltox/ /usr/local/include/

10) later install the application
 pip install django-wkhtmltopdf

A: I encountered this problem after a linux upgrade. I found the solution at this link: https://github.com/incuna/django-wkhtmltopdf/issues/75
In my case, the basic solution is find out where wkhtmltopdf is stored using which:
$ which wkhtmltopdf
/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf

Then add the following line to settings.py:
WKHTMLTOPDF_CMD = '/usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf'

(i.e. the location returned by which)
N.B. If which wkhtmltopdf returns blank, you probably haven't properly installed wkhtmltopdf. You can do so from https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

A: There is another solution: on top of your pip install, just install the relevant version of wkhtmltopdf binary from here: http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html. In my case, this solved the problem.

Fun fact: when I was a kid, I drifted too far out to sea on a rubber dinghy and couldn't get back until an adult was able to swim out and very slowly drag me to shore. I'm not entirely sure how long I was out there, but ever since I've always had anxieties about the sea. And eels for some reason… I never saw any eels on the dingy, but I'm now convinced they're going to murder me.
Well Natural Selection 2 developers Unknown Worlds shamelessly plays to that fear with their current early access project Subnautica. Being set on a planet almost entirely covered with deep water, it's a survival sim where you have to find scraps to build vehicles, hunt alien fish, and build yourself a base.
Well, now they've gone and made it just a little bit more horrifying. Firstly a new innocent whickle fishie that's also named like an '80s death metal album: the Reaper Leviathan. It grabs on to your submarine, makes a lot of scary faces, and probably causes a lot of pain.
But the biggest new addition to Subnautica is the ability to explore the massive written off starship that's been looming in the horizon since the very first build of the game. Before now it's been inaccessible thanks to radiation (gee that's convenient), but now once you've crafted a handy-dandy radiation suit you can go and have a gander. Oh and you might be killed by alien spider-thingies too, so have fun!


As a child living in South Africa, Cindy Leyland was encouraged to ride by her father who enrolled his children in a nearby riding club that also stabled their horses. There were never any beginner's ponies for Cindy and her siblings. From about the age of 10, Cindy learnt show jumping and dressage at riding club and like most young people who began riding at a young age, she had no fear of horses or riding.
As a young woman, Cindy lived on a farm in South Africa with her husband who bought her a horse as a gift. She rode regularly, gave friends riding lessons and even rescued an injured race horse. Years later, after Cindy had moved to Australia and no longer had a horse of her own, she missed the joy of riding so much, she would volunteer to ride friends' horses.
"I looked to Natural Horsemanship to further Jack's education and to improve our communication skills but was unhappy with the trainer I found. His methods seemed rough and unsympathetic to the horse and Jack was very tense around him," Cindy says.


First published in the Tanka Society of America Newsletter 1:2, Winter 2000, page 1 (excerpted from "President's Message: International Connections"). See also my Welcoming Speech at the Third International Tanka Convention.
Near the end of September this year , I boarded a plane in San Francisco, bound for the Third International Tanka Convention at the Renaissance Hotel in Vancouver, British Columbia, where I was privileged to represent the Tanka Society of America. At this meeting, more than a hundred members of the Japan Tanka Poets' Club had travelled from Japan, led by President Takeo Fujioka, Tanka Journal Editor Hatsue Kawamura, Mitsue Kurahashi, and Hiroshi Shionozaki. They were joined by about seventy other Japanese-language tanka poets visiting from Hawaii, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. Also attending were English-language tanka poets Winona Baker and Melissa Dixon from Canada, Margaret Chula and American Tanka Editor Laura Maffei from the United States, and Amelia Fielden from Australia. A few of us met for lunch just before the afternoon event on Wednesday, September 27, where we were joined by Canadian tanka poet Gerald St. Maur, who happened to be visiting Vancouver but was not able to stay for the convention. I was particularly delighted to meet all the poets in attendance, most of whom I had not met in person before. The event itself was an afternoon of speeches [nearly all in Japanese], the ceremonious awarding of prizes for the Japan Tanka Poets' Club Third International Tanka Contest, and much socializing and exchanging of books and gifts, topped off by a sumptuous banquet in the evening—complete with the singing of "O Canada" and the recitation of numerous poems. The entire group of two hundred people also posed for a formal photograph that served as a great memento for the occasion—and amazingly made available before the banquet ended!


Parametrization (or parameterization; also parameterisation, parametrisation) is the process of finding parametric equations of a curve, a surface, or, more generally, a manifold or a variety, defined by an implicit equation. The inverse process is called implicitization. "To parameterize" by itself means "to express in terms of parameters".
Parametrization is a mathematical process consisting of expressing the state of a system, process or model as a function of some independent quantities called parameters. The state of the system is generally determined by a finite set of coordinates, and the parametrisation consists thus of one function of several real variables for each coordinate. The number of parameters is the number of degrees of freedom of the system.
where t denotes the time. Such a parametric equation determines completely the curve, without the need of any interpretation of t as a time, and is thus called a parametric equation of the curve (this is sometimes abbreviated by saying that one has a parametric curve). One gets similarly the parametric equation of a surface by considering functions of two parameters t and u.
Parametrizations are not generally unique. The ordinary three-dimensional object can be parametrized (or 'coordinatized') equally efficiently with Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z), cylindrical polar coordinates (ρ, φ, z), spherical coordinates (r,φ,θ) or other coordinate systems.
Similarly, the color space of human trichromatic color vision can be parametrized in terms of the three colors red, green and blue, RGB, or with cyan, magenta, yellow and black, CMYK.
Generally, the minimum number of parameters required to describe a model or geometric object is equal to its dimension, and the scope of the parameters—within their allowed ranges—is the parameter space. Though a good set of parameters permits identification of every point in the parameter space, it may be that, for a given parametrization, different parameter values can refer to the same 'physical' point. Such mappings are surjective but not injective. An example is the pair of cylindrical polar coordinates (ρ,φ,z) and (ρ,φ + 2π,z).
As indicated above, there is arbitrariness in the choice of parameters of a given model, geometric object, etc. Often, one wishes to determine intrinsic properties of an object that do not depend on this arbitrariness, which are therefore independent of any particular choice of parameters. This is particularly the case in physics, wherein parametrization invariance (or 'reparametrization invariance') is a guiding principle in the search for physically acceptable theories (particularly in general relativity).
For example, whilst the location of a fixed point on some curved line may be given by a set of numbers whose values depend on how the curve is parametrized, the length (appropriately defined) of the curve between two such fixed points will be independent of the particular choice of parametrization (in this case: the method by which an arbitrary point on the line is uniquely indexed). The length of the curve is a parameterization-invariant quantity therefore. In such cases parameterization is a mathematical tool employed to extract a result whose value does not depend on, or make reference to, the details of the parameterization. More generally, parametrization invariance of a physical theory implies that either the dimensionality or the volume of the parameter space is larger than is necessary to describe the physics (the quantities of physical significance) in question.
Though the theory of general relativity can be expressed without reference to a coordinate system, calculations of physical (i.e. observable) quantities such as the curvature of spacetime invariably involve the introduction of a particular coordinate system in order to refer to spacetime points involved in the calculation. In the context of general relativity then, the choice of coordinate system may be regarded as a method of 'parameterizing' the spacetime, and the insensitivity of the result of a calculation of a physically-significant quantity to that choice can be regarded as an example of parameterization invariance.
As another example, physical theories whose observable quantities depend only on the relative distances (the ratio of distances) between pairs of objects are said to be scale invariant. In such theories any reference in the course of a calculation to an absolute distance would imply the introduction of a parameter to which the theory is invariant.
