City of Greater Sudbury Presents Proposed 2019 Budget
The City's proposed budget for the year was presented to City Council at the Finance and Administration Committee meeting tonight.
Following directions provided by Council, the proposed budget ensures all existing programs and service levels continue and includes a number of potential service improvements. The plan includes a 3.5 per cent property tax increase, which is all subject to Council review and approval. Options to reduce this impact to 3 and 2.5 per cent will be provided to Council as part of a staff report on February 19, 2019.
"I look forward to reviewing the proposed budget and thank staff for the substantial work that has gone into its development," said Ward 7 Councillor and Finance and Administration Committee Chair Mike Jakubo. "Council will work together with staff to finalize a budget that meets community needs while responsibly ensuring our City's future sustainability."
The proposed operating budget of $588.9 million includes the costs required to perform routine operations and provide daily services based on Council's approved service levels. Approximately 46 % ($272.6 million) of the operating budget is funded by property taxes.
For a typical home assessed at $230,000, a 3.5 per cent property tax increase amounts to an increase of approximately $9 a month.
The 2019 Budget presents the City's first enterprise-wide prioritized capital program. This is important as the City increases its capacity for asset management planning and making the best investments possible to make sure services are supported by capable assets such as roads, bridges and facilities. The proposed capital budget of $116.6 million focuses on asset renewal and includes investments in roads, drainage projects, facility upgrades, cycling infrastructure and more. A special levy of 1.5% is recommended to accelerate the community's known asset renewal needs.
Water and wastewater services, which are also provided by the municipality and form part of the budget, are completely funded by user fees. In line with the long range financial plan, there is a recommended 7.4 per cent annual water/wastewater rate increase.
"The budget describes the resources required to deliver City programs and services for the year, while providing important context for understanding our services ," said City of Greater Sudbury Chief Administrative Officer Ed Archer. "Planned infrastructure renewal requirements in 2019, together with investments in new projects, will transform and benefit the community."
Highlights of the proposed 2019 budget include:
$46.6 million invested in the city's road network, including funding for the Maley Drive Extension project and $15.6 million for several bridge and culvert rehabilitation projects throughout the community
$18.5 million for winter road maintenance, up from $17 million in 2018
$4.3 million investment in recreational assets, including upgrades to the Howard Armstrong Recreation Centre and the Dowling Leisure Centre
$3.2 million for projects at the Azilda and Sudbury landfill sites to enable the City to responsibly dispose and divert waste and to protect the environment around the landfill sites
Financing options for the Junction (Art Gallery, Library and Convention/Performance Centre) in the downtown
2019 Budget Public Input
To coincide with the presentation of the 2019 Budget, public input will take place until February 12, 2019. An online budget survey is available for residents to share their spending and public service priorities.
Additionally, several in-person opportunities will take place as follows:
A City Services Fair will take place on Wednesday, February 6, from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the New Sudbury Centre - Centre Court. Drop-in any time throughout the day to speak with City staff and learn about important services areas.
Budget Input Pop-Ups will be held at a number of locations throughout the city, including sporting events, winter carnivals, arenas and libraries. A full schedule will be communicated to the public once details are finalized.
Information received as part of the public input process will be provided as part of a report to Council in advance of budget deliberations.
Online input can be provided at overtoyou.greatersudbury.ca. Paper copies are available at Library and Citizen Service Centres upon request.
The Finance and Administration Committee is scheduled to deliberate and approve the 2019 Budget at its February 19, 20 and 21 meetings. Council will be asked to approve the budget immediately following the completion of deliberations.

\section{Introduction}
Inflation was originally proposed to account for the high degree of flatness and
homogeneity observed today in our universe at horizon
scales~\cite{Guth:1980zm,Linde:1981mu,Albrecht:1982wi,Linde:1983gd}.  However,
an oft-repeated criticism is that, while it is true that \emph{if} inflation
starts, it rapidly inflates away any inhomogeneities, in order to begin
inflation requires homogeneity over several or many Hubble volumes, because
otherwise the expanding universe will be increasingly dominated by
inhomogeneities rather than inflationary potential energy.  Hence, how can
inflation explain homogeneity on Hubble scales today?

Here we address to what degree inflation requires initial homogeneity. Arguably
this problem does not appear if inflation can start at nearly Planckian
density~\cite{Linde:1983gd,Linde:1985ub}.  There are also several methods for
solving the problem of initial conditions for low energy scale inflation,
see~\cite{Zeldovich:1984vk,Cornish:1996st,Coule:1999wg,Linde:2004nz,Linde:2014nna,Carrasco:2015rva}
and references therein.
There has also been work establishing ``no hair" type results governing the
decay of perturbations for spacetimes with a cosmological constant, including
important work showing how to construct a large class of solutions by imposing
the requirement that the solution approach de Sitter at late
times~\cite{1983ZhPmR..37...55S,fefferman1985conformal}. A review of this can
be found in~\cite{Anninos:2012qw}.
Here we concentrate on single-field inflation models
where the energy scale of inflation is orders of magnitude smaller than the
Planck energy, which have become more popular in the light of observational
data~\cite{Planck:2013jfk}.  Since small perturbations certainly do not prevent
inflation from beginning, the cases of interest are those with large initial
inhomogeneities, outside the regime of linear theory and requiring numerical
solutions.

This question has been studied in the past using general relativistic
simulations in 1D~\cite{Albrecht:1986pi,KurkiSuonio:1987pq}
and spherical symmetry~\cite{Goldwirth:1989pr} (see
also~\cite{KurkiSuonio:1993fg} for early work in 3D), as well as in the
multi-field inflation case but ignoring inhomogeneities in the gravity
sector~\cite{Easther:2014zga}.
In this work, we solve the full, nonlinear
Einstein equations numerically including cases with large inhomogeneities that
give rise to collapsing regions and trapped surfaces.  We find that many
cosmologies that are initially expanding, highly inhomogeneous and strongly dominated by
spatial gradient energy give rise to inflation.  This happens because while
overdense regions collapse into black holes, the
underdense regions
evolve into voids that become dominated by inflationary vacuum energy at (much)
later times.

Our result fundamentally alters the interpretation of analyses such as~\cite{PhysRevD.61.023502},
which places a lower bound on the size of an inflationary patch when it eventually emerges, requiring
it to be larger than the background Hubble radius.
We demonstrate that such inflationary patches can arise
simply through gravitational collapse and redshifting from conditions
that, one or more Hubble times  prior to the onset of inflation, were very inhomogeneous.
This is a dynamical mechanism that does not require any acausal interaction
between regions initially separated by more than one horizon distance.

This picture holds when the range of initial scalar field values lies entirely
on the ``inflationary plateau" where the potential is flat, satisfying
$\epsilon_{n} \equiv \left( M_{P} \partial_{\phi}\right)^{n }\ln V \ll 1$ (where
$M_P$ is the Planck mass), with the number of inflationary e-folds in
homogeneous universe scaling as $N \sim \Delta \phi / M_{P} \epsilon_{1}$
(assuming $\dot \phi$ is small initially, but a closely related statement can be
made  when $\dot \phi$ is large, see e.g.~\cite{Carrasco:2015rva}).  In the
particular class of so-called cosmological attractors (see
\cite{Linde:2014nna,Carrasco:2015rva} and references therein), which have
potentials that rapidly approach a positive constant for large values of the
inflaton field, this plateau includes all but a finite range of values -- and
hence, with high probability the average value of the field falls in a range
where the potential is almost exactly a cosmological constant.  Nevertheless, we
also consider the complimentary case where the spatially averaged value of the
scalar field $\langle \phi \rangle$ lies on the plateau, but the variations in
the field fall outside this plateau.  A na\"{i}ve expectation would be that
these would also undergo inflation.  Instead, we find that when the fluctuations
around the average exceed the distance in field space to the end of the plateau,
$\delta \phi > \Delta \phi$, inflation sometimes does not take place regardless
of the value of $\langle \phi \rangle$.  This is because the field feels the
effect of the potential beyond the plateau in at least some parts of the
universe, and --- depending on the potential --- this can have a tendency to
pull $\langle \phi \rangle$ strongly towards the  minimum, which is necessarily
off the plateau.  This condition is of course completely invisible in
near-homogeneous cosmologies where $\delta \phi$ is small or vanishing.

Our conclusions are based on a set of fully general relativistic simulations in
3+1 dimensions.  The field content is a single scalar $\phi$ with a potential
and average value that would allow for 60 e-folds or more of inflation given
homogeneous initial conditions.  However, we begin with inhomogeneous
conditions where the energy in spatial gradients dominates over the potential
energy by a factor of $10^3$.  We simulate an initially expanding universe with
toroidal topology where the nonzero wavenumbers $k$ of the initial scalar field
content satisfy $k/H_{0} \geq 1$ (i.e. have wavelength $\leq 2 \pi H_0^{-1}$),
where $H_{0}$ is the expansion rate on the initial time slice.  Without
simulating them, the behavior of longer wavelength modes can be understood as
follows. When $k/H \ll 1$ (a ``long" mode), the mode simply renormalizes the
local density; that is, so long as they remain outside the horizon, the effect
of long modes is captured by homogeneous cosmologies, which are well
understood~\cite{Wald:1983ky}.  In fact, the effect of long modes on a volume
that has been expanding at some arbitrary initial time will either be to make
it closed, in which case it collapses after a finite time, or open, in which
case the volume keeps expanding.  In a universe that is ``flat (or open) on
average,'' it is easy to see that there must exist at least one region where
the effect of long modes is to keep it open at all times.  This is illustrated
in Fig.~\ref{fig:open-within-open}.  Once a long mode re-enters the horizon its
evolution is much more complex, but is then described by our simulations.

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[angle=90,width=0.75\columnwidth,draft=false]{open_within_open_v3}
\end{center}
\caption{
Let us consider a region (labelled ``(4)") of size comparable of the
would-be inflationary Hubble patch. If the region is open or flat on average, it
means that modes longer than the region will not make the whole region collapse. For
each subdivision of region (4), there has to be one region, here labelled (3),
where the role of longer modes is to make the region open or flat, while its
complement (the part of (4) not within (3)) can be closed.  The same applies to
further subdivisions, here (2) and (1). In this way, given a region (4) that is
flat or open on average, there is a sequence of smaller region where the effect
of long modes is to keep it open at all times.  Therefore, long modes will not
prevent geodesics originating in region (1) from eventually inflating.  As our
simulations show, modes shorter than the horizon at any given time can produce
localized black holes, but do not make the region as a whole collapse.
\label{fig:open-within-open}
}
\end{figure}

Instead of considering the periodicity of our simulations as a convenient
boundary condition, a complementary scenario covered by this setup is to imagine
that the universe is a torus of length of order $2\pi H_0^{-1}$, with
perturbations with wavenumber of order $H_0$, which could all be on the order of
the Planck
scale~\cite{Zeldovich:1984vk,Cornish:1996st,Coule:1999wg,Linde:2004nz,Linde:2014nna,Carrasco:2015rva}.
With this interpretation, our simulations describe the whole universe rather
than a limited part.

\section{Methodology}
In order to simulate an inhomogeneous cosmology, we solve the Einstein field
equations coupled to the inflaton $\phi$, which has equation of motion $\Box
\phi = V'$.  We evolve the field equations in the generalized harmonic
formulation using the code described in~\cite{Pretorius:2004jg, code_paper}.  We
use units where $8\pi G=c=1$ throughout.

For the scalar field initial conditions, we choose a superposition of standing
waves with $\dot{\phi}(t=0)=0$ and
\begin{equation}
\phi(t=0,\mathbf{x}) =
\phi_0 + \delta \phi \left[ \sum_{1\leq |\mathbf{k}L/2 \pi|^2 \leq N }\hskip
-0.5cm  \cos(\mathbf{k}\cdot \mathbf{x}+\theta_{\mathbf{k}}) \right],
\label{eq:phi_ic}
\end{equation}
where $\mathbf{k}$ ranges over all the allowed wavevectors in a
three-dimensional periodic domain (e.g. for $N=1$, the six wavevectors given by
plus and minus each of the three coordinate directions), and the
$\theta_{\mathbf{k}}$ values are randomly chosen phases.
We always take the length of the domain in each direction to be equal to the
wavelength of the longest mode in that simulation $L=2\pi/k_{\rm min}$, and
consider various ratios of this to the initial Hubble scale.
We construct initial data for the metric by solving the
constraint equations using the code described in~\cite{idsolve_paper}. We assume
(at the initial time only) that the spatial metric is conformally flat $\gamma_{ij}=\Psi^4 f_{ij}$, and
that the trace of the extrinsic curvature $K$ is constant while the traceless
part is zero, so that the momentum constraint is trivially satisfied.
The value
of the conformal factor $\Psi$ then comes from solving the Hamiltonian
constraint.

We choose $K$ based on the integral of the Hamiltonian constraint
over the periodic domain (ignoring the conformal factor)
\begin{equation}
K = -\left[\frac{1}{V}\int\left(3 V(\phi)+\frac{3}{2}\partial_i \phi \partial^i
     \phi\right)dV\right]^{1/2},
     \label{eqK}
\end{equation}
which we find to give solutions with $\Psi \sim 1$.  The choice of a negative
$K$ will give us an initially expanding universe
with $H_0=-K/3$.  (A positive $K$, on the other hand, would give an initially contracting universe, which would likely result in a crunching-type solution.) In the special case of a homogeneous scalar field
configuration ($\delta \phi=0$) this choice of initial data will reduce to a
time slice of an FRW solution.

We consider several inflationary potentials, the simplest being a
cosmological constant $V(\phi)=\Lambda$.  The next is
\begin{equation}
V(\phi) = \Lambda(1+\exp(-\lambda \phi))^{-1}
\label{eq:step_potential}
\end{equation}
which is flat for $|\phi| \gg 1/\lambda$ and approximates a step function for
large  $\lambda$.  The last is the ``notch" potential
\begin{equation}
V(\phi) = \Lambda \tanh^2(\lambda \phi)\
\label{eq:notch_potential}
\end{equation}
describing a family of cosmological
attractors~\cite{Kallosh:2013hoa,Kallosh:2013yoa}.  These potentials cover a
large enough class to allow our conclusions to be quite generic: in the flat
regions they are well described by a cosmological constant $V(\phi)=\Lambda$
or~$0$, while the different ways in which the potentials tend to zero cover a
wide range of possibilities.

We will make use of several quantities defined in terms of the timelike unit
normal to slices of constant coordinate time $n^a$ for characterizing the
simulations below.  The vector $n^a$ can be considered the four velocity of a
fiducial observer whose worldline is orthogonal to the constant time
hypersurfaces.  We will use the energy density $\rho = n_a n_b T^{ab}$ where
$T^{ab}$ is the scalar field stress-energy tensor. We will also calculate the
local volume expansion $\theta := \nabla_a n^a = -K$. This will allow us to
define a fiducial local Hubble expansion rate $H:=\theta /3$ and corresponding
number of $e$-folds of expansion $\mathcal{N}$ found by integrating $n^a
\nabla_a
\mathcal{N} = \theta/3$ (see e.g.~\cite{Xue:2013bva}).  We denote the volume
average of a quantity by
$ \langle X \rangle := \int X \sqrt{\gamma}d^3x / \int \sqrt{\gamma} d^3x  $
where $\gamma = \det\gamma_{ij}$.
See the appendix
for details on the numerical method and resolution study results demonstrating
convergence.

\section{Results}
We perform a number of simulations to study the conditions under which a
gradient energy dominated universe, $\langle \rho \rangle = 10^3 \Lambda$, will
transition to exponential expansion.  In addition to this ratio of gradient to
potential energy, we will quantify the inhomogeneities in the different cases we
consider by referring to the ratio of the wavenumbers of the initial scalar
field content to the expansion rate on the initial time slice $k/H_0$.

We first present results using a
cosmological constant, and following that present cases with non-trivial
potentials where some part of the scalar field range falls outside the flat
region of the potential.

We choose $V(\phi)=\Lambda$ and initial data with scalar field perturbations of
a single wavenumber magnitude corresponding to $N=1$ in Eq.~(\ref{eq:phi_ic}),
and consider cases with different ratios of $k$ to initial effective Hubble
constant $H_0$.  As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:rhoH_a}, for larger values of this
ratio ($k/H_0=4$ and 8), as the scale factor increases the average expansion
rate decreases like $\propto a^{-2}$, and the average gradient/kinetic energy of
the scalar field decreases as $\propto a^{-4}$ (where $a=e^{\mathcal{N}}$), as
would be expected in an FRW universe.  We find similar results for initial
configurations with more than one wavenumber ($N=5$ is also shown in
Fig.~\ref{fig:rhoH_a}). This continues until the kinetic/gradient energy is
subdominant, leading to a cosmological constant-dominated universe undergoing
exponential expansion.  As shown in the top of Fig.~\ref{fig:3d_ksq1_tseries},
though initially there is spatial variation in the energy density and rates of
expansion/contraction, these eventually go away.

\begin{figure}

\vspace{-10pt}
\caption{
The volume-averaged energy density (top) and expansion rate (bottom)
plotted against a volume-averaged measure of the effective scale factor
for cases with a cosmological constant potential. We show several
cases with inhomogeneities at a single wavenumber magnitude ($N=1$), as well
as one case with several different wavenumber magnitudes ($N=5$) where the
smallest wavenumber magnitude is $k/H_0=4$. For comparison, the slope of these
quantities expected in a radiation dominated FRW universe is also shown.  Once
apparent horizons are found, we ignore their interiors for the purpose of
calculating these quantities, which accounts for the discontinuous features
evident in the $k/H_0=1$ and 2 cases.
\label{fig:rhoH_a} }
\end{figure}

For smaller values of $k/H_0$ we are in the strong-field regime and there is
prompt gravitational collapse in some regions. In the cases with $k/H_0=1$ and 2
shown in the bottom of Fig.~\ref{fig:3d_ksq1_tseries}, the maximum energy
density rapidly increases and black holes form at $t\approx H_0^{-1}$ (we
emphasize that with the gauge choices made here, the time coordinate is
different from that of the usual FRW metric).  This is expected since the hoop
conjecture~\cite{Thorne72a} predicts that a trapped surface will form roughly
when the mass of an overdensity is comparable to the mass of a black hole of the
same size $\frac{4}{3}\pi G k^{-3}\rho \sim k^{-1}/2$, which is equivalent to $k
\sim H$. In terms of the amplitude of the scalar field fluctuations, this is
also equivalent to $\delta \phi \sim M_P$.
Because of the symmetry in the initial data and potential with respect
to positive and negative values of the scalar field, two identical apparent
horizons form in the periodic domain.  At the final time shown in
Fig.~\ref{fig:3d_ksq1_tseries}, the irreducible mass of each apparent horizons is
$\approx 2 k^{-1}$ and $\approx 0.6 k^{-1}$ for $k/H_0=1$ and 2, respectively.

We do not track the interior of the apparent horizons and avoid any issues with
singularities that may develop there by excising this region from the
computational domain.  However, ignoring the black hole interiors, even in these
cases there is still expansion on average and the volume-averaged density
decreases until the domain becomes vacuum energy dominated.
The proper distance between the black holes also increases roughly in
proportion to the average scale factor, indicating they are becoming more and
more isolated in an exponentially expanding universe (thus we end in a
situation similar to~\cite{Yoo:2014boa}).

\end{figure}

Similar results to those obtained with a cosmological constant potential should
hold in general for cases where the entire range of scalar field falls on flat
region of the potential.  We have explicitly verified that for
Eq.~(\ref{eq:notch_potential}) with $\lambda=1/\sqrt{6}$
~\cite{Kallosh:2013hoa}, and $\phi_0=6.2$ (corresponding to $\mathcal{N}\sim 60$
in homogeneous inflation), the results obtained are indistinguishable from those
presented above with $k/H_0=1$.  We next consider cases where the range of
scalar field values does not satisfy this condition, and hence the average value
of the scalar field $\phi_0$ will be important. For simplicity we will
concentrate on initial scalar field configurations with $N=1$ and $k/H_0=4$ and
vary $\phi_0$.

In Fig.~\ref{fig:rhoH_a_step} we show several cases with the potential given by
Eqs.~(\ref{eq:step_potential}) with $\lambda = 200$, which gives a very good
approximation to a step function.  Of these, the one with the smallest average
scalar field value ($\phi_0=0.03675$) would give $\sim 60$ $e$-folds of
inflation before rolling down to a negative value in a homogeneous FRW model.
However in the inhomogeneous case we consider here, the value of the scalar
field everywhere becomes negative before the gradient energy of the scalar field
is negligible, and there is no phase of exponential expansion. This also happens
for the larger average value of $\phi_0/\delta \phi=0.5$. However, for
$\phi_0/\delta \phi=1$ the scalar field approaches a positive value
everywhere as the potential energy dominates and there is an inflationary
period.

$\lambda = 200$) or notch-like (Eq.~(\ref{eq:notch_potential})
with $\lambda=100$) potentials, and various values of $\phi_0$.
\label{fig:rhoH_a_step}
\label{fig:rhoH_a_notch} }
\vspace{-5pt}
\end{figure}

As also shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:rhoH_a_notch}, similar results are obtained using
the potential given by Eq.~(\ref{eq:notch_potential}) with $\lambda = 100$.  Here
again, for the cases where $\phi_0/\delta \phi$ is small, the scalar field moves
away from the inflationary plateau to a region of field space with lower
potential energy, in this case the narrow region at the minimum of the potential
at $\phi=0$.

This can be seen analytically as follows.  In a homogeneous universe, time
derivatives of $\phi$ are proportional to the ``force" $V'(\phi)$.  When $\delta
\phi \neq 0$, spatially averaged time derivatives are proportional to the
averaged force $\langle V' \rangle$.  In the case of the step, when $\delta \phi >
\phi_0$, $\langle V' \rangle \sim V/\langle \phi \rangle$ and so  $\langle \phi \rangle$ is pushed
towards negative values parametrically faster than if $\delta \phi < \phi_0$.
In general, on a slow-roll plateau, $M_P V'/V \sim \sqrt{\epsilon} < 1$.   If
the fluctuations are large enough to reach the minimum of $V$, the spatially
averaged force is
$
\langle V' (\phi) \rangle \sim { V(\langle \phi \rangle) \over \langle \phi\rangle } = \( {M_P \over \langle \phi \rangle} \) \( { V'(\langle \phi \rangle)\over \sqrt{\epsilon}} \) > V'(\langle \phi \rangle)
$
unless $\langle \phi \rangle > M_P/\sqrt{\epsilon}$.  This is the origin of the
statement made in the introduction regarding  $\delta \phi < \Delta \phi$.  From
an Effective Field Theory (EFT) point of view, this result can be understood by
noticing that the effective potential for the homogeneous mode, which evolves
with a time scale of order Hubble, is obtained by integrating out the short (and
fast) modes which are classically excited. Due to the strong nonlinearities,
the effective potential can acquire a width of order the amplitude of the
classical modes.

One might expect that a potential with a sharp symmetric minimum could avoid
this tendency.  Consider the notch potential, \eqref{eq:notch_potential} with
$\lambda$ large.  Then $\langle V' \rangle$ is suppressed by $1/\lambda$, and so one
might expect a sharp notch to have only a small effect, which is indeed the case
in the absence of gravity.  However, with gravity included the combination of
Hubble friction and gravitational nonlinearities rapidly pulls $\phi$ into the
minimum. The rate at which $\langle \phi \rangle$ decreases is  almost independent of
$\lambda$ for large $\lambda$. From an EFT point of view, in an expansion in
$k/(aH)\gg 1$, we have that the leading effect vanishes, but higher orders do
not.

\section{Conclusions}
For a large class of examples, we find that exponential expansion occurs even
when the initial gradients are much larger than the potential energy.  The
possible exceptions are cases when the range of the initial inhomogeneous scalar
field values exceeds the inflationary plateau, in which case the outcome depends
on the details of the potential. This is illustrated by the potential with a
nearly flat  plateau for $\phi > 0$, and a relatively sharp ``step'' down to
zero at $\phi< 0$ given by \eqref{eq:step_potential} with $\lambda$ large: when
$\delta \phi \simgeq \phi_{0}$ the large $V'$ at the step near $\phi=0$ has a
strong effect on the time evolution of $\langle \phi \rangle$,  rapidly propelling it to
negative values and preventing inflation from beginning. We provide an
analytical understanding of this behavior.  We note, however, that this scenario
does not apply to generic examples of large-field inflation where $\phi_0$ is
large in units of $M_P$, but the fluctuations about this value are order one or
smaller.

When the fluctuations in the inflaton field are contained within a flat region
of the potential, the potential will essentially act like a cosmological
constant, in which case in any region of the universe there are two possible
outcomes: recollapse after a finite time, or expansion until the vacuum energy
dominates and inflation begins.  With our initial conditions --- large
fluctuations of wavelength $\leq 2\pi/H_0$ in expanding universes that are flat
(or open) on average --- we find that both types of regions occur, with the
former leading to black holes, and the latter eventually dominating the volume.
Thus the amplitude of the initial-state fluctuations in $\phi$ is irrelevant
except in determining the time scales. {\it In particular, we find that in order
for inflation to start somewhere, there is no need to assume a Hubble-sized
homogeneous initial patch.}

An important issue is how natural it might be to have an inflaton potential and
initial field range that satisfy the criteria laid out above. That question is
beyond the scope of this work and we do not address it here, though we refer the
reader
to~\cite{Starobinsky:1980te,Goncharov:1985yu,Bezrukov:2007ep,Carrasco:2015rva}
and references therein which discuss how cosmological attractor configurations
with the desired properties, such as approximate shift symmetric potentials, can
be constructed in supergravity, Higgs inflation, and other contexts.
Additionally, exploring a broader class of initial conditions, including
multiple fields, or the effects of homogeneous kinetic energy, will be
interesting follow-up work.

"Reason, incident and consequence; these are the primary bases of history" – Baburam Acharya
"Acharya ji, Namaste! I'm Uttam Kunwar."
"Oh, babu! Please come. I was sad to hear that Rup Rekha did not receive financial support. You have been doing good work; do not discontinue. There will be obstacles here and there…You are a Gulmi Kunwar, aren't you? Dhananjaya clan…I had the entire genealogy but it's buried somewhere because no one reads it anymore."
"I also have Kiran Kharel ji with me."
"Which Kiran Kharel? The one who writes songs for the radio?…I know about him, Shree Prasad Kharel's grandson! I know him very well…"
This was my first meeting and it was Kiran ji's as well. But if someone had witnessed this scene or is reading this, they will certainly assume that we have known Baburam ji for a long time. A strong memory and an ample sense of familiarity are some of his many specialities.
"Acharya ji, I came here today to talk to you about yourself. I hope you won't have a problem with that?"
"That's alright. Please sit. It hasn't been very long since I arrived from the office. I was just changing my clothes."
Acharya ji was in fact in the middle of changing. He had taken off his daura and was only wearing a pair of suruwal. Right then, his wife came over, covered him with a shawl, and left. Dusk had fallen. After stepping out of a bus in Gaushala, we had taken an alley into Battisputali and arrived at Acharya ji's house after asking around. The corn leaves swaying in the evening breeze were producing soft sounds. In addition, because of the buzzing mosquitoes and cicadas, it felt as if a musical ambience was being created, a nice occasion. But because of the intermittent mosquito bites, it also felt like there was an attempt to ruin the occasion.
We sat next to Acharya ji, our legs folded. His wife brought a lit lantern. Choosing a proper moment, I asked, "So you just arrived, Acharya ji?"
"That's right, babu."
"What do you do all day? Busy with recording, I hear?"
"No, I stopped it. That gets a bit cumbersome. So I went back to dictating."
"What are you dictating?"
"Prithvi Narayan Shah! Everything written about him to this day is baseless. That's why I am in the process of writing a historical account about him based on proven facts."
"But since you don't reveal your sources in your books, readers like us still get confused. What do we do?"
"In this case, I will provide copious notes…although it's looking like the notes will be longer than the primary material."
"When do you think it'll be ready?"
"It might take another two to four months before its release."
"Since you have a day job at the Hiti palace, I'm guessing that you no longer have a problem making ends meet?"
"It's not like before. I get Rs 500 every month from there and then an additional stipend of Rs 150. That takes care of my expenses. Whatever I had during my youth was spent on historical research. I was about to be homeless but these days I am in the process of paying back old loans and can also manage two meals every day."
This is the condition of a pre eminent historian in Nepal: having to worry about meals. During his youth, he spent close to Rs 70,000 while conducting historical research. Because of this research, he also lost his eyesight. His dedication got him employed as a high-level officer at the palace, but he was later let go. Acharya ji had to face the consequences for being too dedicated because of the particularities of that time period.
"For the Prithvi Narayan Shah book you are working on, is your writing based on previously collected facts or have you come across new information as well?"
"It'll be a mixture of the old and the new. After the Crown Prince ordered the unlocking of the Jaisi room, a lot of new facts have been revealed. There were details leading up to the rule of Rana Bahadur Shah; quite a lot of what had been written up to that time period has been proven to be false. Based on the recently discovered notes, records and paperwork, what has been proven is that almost everything accepted as truth was untrue, apart from the dates of Prithvi Narayan Shah's birth and death. And let's not even get into the stuff before Ram Shah's time. But how can we even blame those who wrote history in a false way? If the country's social, economic, political and educational history and their foundations were strong, then the country's general history would be documented properly. The groundwork around these started to flourish only during the time of Jung Bahadur. Whatever history was written was based on the two genealogies published by Wright and Buddhiman (which in themselves were inaccurate); that's why it was natural that the history was made up. Reason, incident and consequence; these are the primary bases of history. But in the case of our country's history, out of these three factors, one or two are usually messed up."
"It's probably easy for you to prepare history since you are so knowledgeable about engravings on stone, copper, etc."
"No way! How can one prepare a true historical account just based on those? Let me provide some perspective on this matter; we don't have to go too far. Juddha Shumsher had handed one lakh rupees to Sharada Shumsher and appointed him as a manager to promote Nepal's cottage industries. Since Sharada Shumsher spent all that money for the cause, he was removed from the position and replaced by someone else. An additional one lakh rupees was allocated for the same project. Since the new manager was clever, he channeled part of the budget back to Juddha Shumsher and the rest remained unspent. In this way, his managerial position remained stable. On the other hand, it was noted in the paperwork and the stone engravings that Juddha Shumsher had invested a certain amount of money for development. The point of this account is that what was publicized was different from what was actually done. I'm pretty sure that this wasn't limited to Juddha Shumsher; it was probably common during the rule of other kings as well. That's why we cannot trust paperwork at face value."
"So what can be considered as proof when it comes to the old days?"
"I'm not trying to say that I don't accept any of it. One can accept some of it as long as one does not believe it as the entire truth. A comparative study needs to be undertaken in order to prove anything and even the proofs ought to be compared with various other facts. For instance, I came across something extremely important today but I am still studying it in order to determine how true it is."
"What could be so important?"
..Historical inquiry demands the reference of different objects and incidents for a comparative study.
"A Jumla king had written a book in Surkshetra and titled it after the place. Even Rahul Sankrityayan had written about seeing that book in Lhasa. That's about it. Now let's interpret this. If a king from Jumla had stayed in Surkshetra, one can infer that Surkshetra must have been a prosperous and developed place. Since a book cannot be written in a rush, one can also infer that Surkshetra must have been under the king's control. Now comes a contentious point: kshetra means a field, so Surkshetra could be Surkhet. This area was once developed and also prosperous and since it wasn't convenient to live in Jumla during the winter, the Jumla king probably moved to Surkhet during the winter months. The other thing is that there is apparently ruins of a temple in Surkhet which was twenty times as big as Patan's Krishna Mandir. Some archaeological findings have conjectured that both of these temples were constructed around the same time. And since that book was discovered in Lhasa, it complements the hypothesis that Tibet and the Surkhet associated Jumla had an amicable relationship, maintained trade and two way migration. The point of this long winded example is that historical inquiry demands the reference of different objects and incidents for a comparative study."
After listening to all this, I asked, "You consider the Golden Age of Nepal to be the fifty year period after Prithvi Narayan Shah, right?"
"Yes. The fifty years between Prithvi Narayan Shah and Bahadur Shah was Nepal's Golden Age."
"Acharya ji, you once relayed an anecdote to Gorkhapatra's Bhairab Aryal ji about how you came across an issue of Prachin Lekhmala (distributed from Calcutta) in Arrah during a trip you took with your father's ashes. After reading Jaidev's stone engraving, you planned to investigate it more and gradually became interested in history. Was that really how you changed your field of study?"
"You can say that that is how it started. In any case, I was already 32 years old when I realized my concern for history. At one point, since it was suspected that I might have tuberculosis, I went to Calcutta for a medical consultation. A few historical books inside a doctor's waiting room inspired me to imagine books on Nepal's history. When I discovered Swayambhu's stone engraving, I found out, for the first time ever, that Nepal had once been attacked by Muslims. But I wasn't able to publish that. Jaiswal published the same thing later and became a big-time historian. There were Rana constraints around publication but I kept getting intermittent inspirations and gradually became immersed in history; ultimately, this became my life."
One might as well declare that 'history' is Baburam Acharya ji's other name. At the age of 32, he began to delve into history by ignoring everything else. His eyesight, which had started weakening in 1942, dimmed completely around 1952. But he is blessed with a strong memory, as if to make up for the eyes. Despite some contested issues, he knows the major historical dates, events and results by heart and once he learns something, he is able to repeat it after several years without any mistakes. This sort of divine talent is rare. Encouraged by him, quite a few have started investigating Nepal's history. Nepal is fortunate to have someone like him.
Nudging the historian towards literature (although this was similar to history), I asked, "Acharya ji, when was the beginning of Nepali language?"
Acharya on a 1973 stamp issues by the government. Photo credit: istampgallery
"At the beginning, it wasn't Nepali language. It used to be Khas language and it emerged in Jumla. From there, it spread out. They have discovered the first copper engraving written in this language during the time of Punya Malla. They have also discovered some folk songs from the fourteenth century. And Krishna Charitra is probably the oldest book. We have to rely entirely on Ishwar Baral when it comes to this topic because he has thoroughly studied our ancient letters and manuscripts at the British Museum. Some of this can be picked up from Bal Krishna Pokhrel's Paanch Saya Barsha. Pokhrel ji has been working hard to trace the history of language."
With a gesture of agreement, I resumed my questioning, "How did the Khas language spread from Jumla?"
The simplicity and sweetness of the Khas language revealed its potential. From Jumla, it advanced towards Gorkha and during the time of Ram Shah, entered the Kathmandu Valley. In Kathmandu, Pratap Malla used the Khas language abundantly during his practices. Jaya Prakash used the Khas language while writing to Kalu Pandey. The treaty between Jaya Prakash and Prithvi Narayan Shah is also written in the Khas language. And during Prithvi Narayan Shah's reign, even poems started to get written in Khas; it's indicated in Buingal that Shuva Nanda Das was the one who started it. The main reason why Khas language received publicity was because it was never targeted by a particular sect; rather, it got equally accepted by different sects which contributed to its development. Long before Prithvi Narayan Shah politically unified Nepal, the Khas language had threaded the country…and to think that the literature of a language like that has come to this…"
"What do you mean, Acharya ji? What has happened?"
"What else? European literature started to influence before the foundation of our literature was stable. It could neither rise up to the level of European literature, nor could it mature its essence; it's been dangling in the middle. One can stand steadily and strongly if one has a vigorous native literary background. One's essence cannot get lost despite external influences. But what can I say? And the new movies have ruined literature. Folk songs, traditions, everything is in decline to have to witness all this at my old age!"
"Acharya ji, people have complaints against you as well. They say that you went against Bhimsen Thapa because your ancestral land was snatched."
"It's not that. Bhimsen Thapa's land reclamation was a timely project. After losing the Kumaon war, there was less land but the population remained the same. He had to feed the army and his employees so there was no other option other than reclaiming land that had been given away as birta. He cannot be blamed for this."
"Then why are you so against him?"
"He was unjust; he killed many."
"Well, everyone kills their opposers. Even these days in several countries, the rulers have been murdering dissenters; the only difference is the way the incidents are presented, isn't it?"
"That's true, but still…"
"Was Bhimsen Thapa full of weaknesses then? Didn't he have saving graces?"
"He did. He was a devoted patriot. Agricultural development in Nepal took place during his reign. And he rewarded those in the Terai who engaged in landscape gardening…"
"It was enough for me when you mentioned that Bhimsen Thapa was a devoted patriot. Although he did make another important contribution, he prioritized Nepali as an official language and mandated its use within the state boundaries. But let's drop these; I just have one request when do you think our history will be ready in its entirety?"
"It can not be completely ready for the next 25 years. The task demands a lot but the means are dismal. Actually, if all the zonal heads were interested in their country's history and delivered appropriate paperwork to the right spot, it could take less time."
In any case, 25 years is not a lot for a country; time passes by just like that. But we should still be ashamed if it indeed takes twenty five years at this day and age to prepare a complete history. Acharya ji gave a limit of 25 years with the constraint that all the zonal heads and intellectuals should collaborate. But will that be possible? Have Nepalis developed a habit of helping each other for the greater good? This needs pondering.
The other thing is that Baburam Acharya ji's health is already fragile. His heart is weak. If anything bad happens to him, it will not affect only his family; it will adversely affect Nepal's historical landscape. That's why we all need to contribute to the project of preparing our country's complete history in a timely manner. There's no point regretting the passing of time; otherwise, the world will look at us regretfully.
Baburam Acharya was a scholar and a researcher. He is credited for pioneering the writing of Nepali history based on indigenous sources. Best known for his four part biography of Prithvi Narayan Shah, he is fondly referred to as 'the gem among historians'. Baburam Acharya passed away in 1972 at the age of 85. Most of his books and papers were published posthumously. This is a translation by Niranjan Kunwar of an article from Uttam Kunwar's anthology of interviews, Srasta ra Sahitya (Authors and Literature), published by the Uttam Kunwar Memorial Award Fund.

Many atheists and Christians alike believe the problem of evil to be the biggest obstacle to Christian faith. The dilemma of how a good God could create a world in which evil not only exists but thrives is considered even more problematic than the alleged evidence for macroevolution, the alleged discrepancies in the Bible, and the alleged irrationality of doctrines such as the Trinity.
Throughout our mortal lifetimes the existence of evil will present a challenge to belief in God, but it is not an insurmountable challenge. As a magazine devoted to Christian apologetics, we have demonstrated this to be the case many times,1 and we expect to do so many times more.
What people who stumble over the problem of evil on their way to faith in God often fail to notice, however, is that the existence not only of evil but also of good logically poses a far more serious obstacle to reaching the opposite conclusion of disbelief. In other words, the fact that morality is an inescapable dimension of the human experience (even when people choose to do evil) does not seem to square with a randomly evolving godless universe, but it fits perfectly within a purposeful universe created by a moral God.
In this issue of the JOURNAL two feature articles depict the struggle of the nonbeliever to find a basis for the universal sense of morality in something other than God, and other articles touch on the same topic. In each case the solutions proposed are similar, and this similarity was not highlighted in the articles by design. We assigned one of our feature articles to deal with the philosophy of utilitarianism and another to address the evolutionary ethics of Richard Dawkins. The remaining articles were to cover unrelated topics of apologetic concern. It was only in editing the articles that I noticed the pattern.
Utilitarianism is a modern form of an ancient approach to ethics called hedonism. In both systems good is defined as pleasure or happiness and evil is defined as pain. Whereas hedonism maintains that the greatest good occurs when the individual achieves pleasure, utilitarianism holds that the greatest good occurs when the greatest number of people achieves happiness.
It turns out that Richard Dawkins's evolutionary ethic, in its most noble formulation (at times it is quite ignoble), is essentially utilitarian. Furthermore, popular motivational speaker Anthony Robbins, who is neither a philosopher nor a professing atheist, nonetheless grounds his message of personal power in a hedonistic ethic of pleasure as good and pain as evil. Finally, our review of the book Naturalism parallels these feature articles in its discussion of problems that occur when atheists attempt to ground morality in nature or evolution.
From different places in the magazine, therefore, distinct criticisms are voiced that complement each other. Together they resoundingly refute hedonism, utilitarianism, and evolutionary ethics. Atheists for whom truth matters should be troubled by the inability of these prominent representations of their worldview to do justice to one of the most fundamental and important attributes of human nature.
However, the problem of good and evil is a good problem for those atheists who have followed their belief system to its logical conclusion of nihilistic despair and are seriously ready to consider evidence for the existence of God. I should know. Decades ago, at the beginning of my spiritual journey, I was one of them.


In the United States, women's persistent gains in structural power may cause backlash among those motivated to preserve the status quo. The proposed study examines the conditions that prompt men and women to endorse sexism and promote gender stereotypes. System justification theory proposes that people are motivated to justify the socio-political system that governs them and threats to the stability of their system can increase individual's motivated defenses. I expect men to show the strongest motivated defenses when the hierarchy is threatened or viewed as unstable, because to protect group-based interests men will reinforce the legitimacy of the system through stronger endorsement of system defenses. In contrast, women will show the strongest system defenses when the hierarchy is viewed as stable, to avoid feeling trapped in an unchanging system that oppresses them. To test these ideas, 430 men and women were exposed to a gender status hierarchy that was portrayed as stable or unstable and then they responded to several measures of sexism and gender stereotypes. Support for the hypothesis was only found on one measure of gender stereotypes. Men reported more system justifying stereotypes of traditional women in the unstable condition, while women showed the opposite pattern. Exploratory results demonstrate that men's and women's reports of agentic stereotypes for traditional and nontraditional women depended on whether they were exposed to a stable or unstable gender hierarchy. Future directions and limitations are discussed in consideration of these exploratory findings.

This year for the first time I joined Art House Co-Op's Sketchbook Project. They collect sketchbooks from all the participants and send them on the road for a tour before permanently archiving them in the Brooklyn Art Library for anyone to see. When I signed up I chose the topic "Encyclopedia of…" and took it from there.
I wish I could have spent more time on these, but it was a very busy fall/winter. Still, you can see where I first pulled together the idea for my little house-gryphons and it also sparked a few other ideas that I may develop further.
The show is now on the road, making its way across the country and around the world before returning to the library in Brooklyn, NY. Check the tour schedule to see when it will be near you! Soon the entire book will be available for viewing online, I'll be posting the link when it's available.
And in the meantime, The Sketchbook Project 2013 is open for participants… I'll be sending for my sketchbook, will you?

Q: Strange error in Ansible regarding regex replace:
    path: "{{ drupal.install_dir }}/{{ drupal.project_name }}/sites/default/settings.php"
    regexp: '(\s+)(\'database\' => \'{{ drupal.database_name }}\',)$'
    replace: '\1\2\n\1\'charset\' => \'utf8mb4\',\n\1\'collation\' => \'utf8mb4_unicode_ci\','

But gives error:
path: "{{ drupal.install_dir }}/{{ drupal.project_name }}/sites/default/settings.php"
regexp: '(\s+)(\'database\' => \'{{ drupal.database_name }}\',)$'
                 ^ here

But it works in https://regex101.com/

A: Use double-quotes (you need to repeat backslashes then):
replace:
    path: "{{ drupal.install_dir }}/{{ drupal.project_name }}/sites/default/settings.php"
    regexp: "(\\s+)('database' => '{{ drupal.database_name }}',)$"
    replace: "\\1\\2\\n\\1'charset' => 'utf8mb4',\\n\\1'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',"

A: I found a workaround:
replace:
        path: "{{ drupal.install_dir }}/{{ drupal.project_name }}/sites/default/settings.php"
        regexp: '^(\s+)(\x27database\x27 => \x27{{ drupal.database_name }}\x27,)$'
        replace: '\1\2\n\1"charset" => "utf8mb4",\n\1"collation" => "utf8mb4_general_ci",'

Luckily I can swap double quotes and single quotes (PHP array). The \x27 workaround does not work in the replace, but it does in the regex. (\x27 = ')

A: Within a single quote style scalar, you have to "escape" any single quotes that are part of that scalar with an extra single quote:
   regexp: '(\s+)(\''database\'' => \''{{ drupal.database_name }}\'',)$'
   replace: '\1\2\n\1\''charset\'' => \''utf8mb4\'',\n\1\''collation\'' => \''utf8mb4_unicode_ci\'','

no other characters need to be (or can be) escaped, within those single quote style scalars.

Tenant's DOCTOR WHO Return Trailed
It used to be that, across the pond in Englandbritlandershire, Doctor Who was a Christmas Day television fixture. The Christmas specials were frequently used for big episodes, such as those featuring a regeneration or the introduction of a new assistant. They were consistently one of the top rated shows on Christmas Day as families settled down in front of the TV to digest thr huge Christmas dinner and get stuck into the sherry.
Of course, the BBC being an absolute disaster zone of idiocy, agendas and messaging, they managed to even screw that up. Jodie Whittaker's Doctor was shunted to New Years Day, and then from the Christmas schedules completely.
This Christmas Day there was at least a tiny bit of Doctor Who on the television though. The trailer premiered for next years 60th Anniversary specials.
Returning showrunner Russell T. Davies is not stupid. He knew that after the shaky Whittaker and Chibnal era that Doctor Who might not survive rushing headlong into the Ncuti Gatwa era. So he pulled a masterstroke and had the Doctor regenerate back into the much loved former Doctor David Tennant, with Catherine Tate returning as his companion, Donna Noble.
The 60th anniversary will also mark the start of a new era for Doctor Who with Disney+ as the international distribution partner and also providing some funding.
The specials have all been shot already and will pave the way for the arrival of the new Doctor, with Ncuti Gatwa taking over as the Fifteenth incarnation and Millie Gibson as companion Ruby Sunday. They began shooting those episodes a few weeks ago and will premier in 2024.
The new trailer shows Neil Patrick Harris' villain of the piece, who has not been named. Fans speculate he is a new version of the very first Doctor Who villain, The Celestial Toymaker. UNIT also return.
Yasmin Finney appears as Rose Tyler, so there is already speculation over how that will play out and if Billy Piper will appear in any way in the specials.
Rachel Talalay, Tom Kingsley and Chanya Button direct the episodes in turn. They are expected to air towards the end of the year, with the new Doctor appearing in what is potentially the return of the Christmas special.

Hey everyone! It's that time again! Yep…Friday. Yep…link party. Yep…the weekend is almost here.
Have you ever done a project thinking that it was more of a silly little time-filler, and instead, it turns out to be quite a popular project? That's exactly what happened to me this week with my Upcycled Magazine Page Wreath.
As a DIY blogger, sometimes it's really hard to gauge how a project will be received. Some things that I think are going to be hugely popular turn out to be duds, while other projects that I think are just time-fillers turn out to be very well-received. LOL…blogging is an interesting thing, indeed. I was even asked if I would make these and sell them! Ha! I wish I had time! So thank you to all of you who commented on and pinned my wreath.
So let's get on with the party, shall we?!
Kristi – Thanks for hosting this fabulous party! And I just adore that wreath, so I went ahead and pinned it too!
Thanks for hosting Kristi! That wreath is beautiful and yes, I completely know what you mean about not being able to gauge the blog world sometimes. It amazes me what projects really take off and which ones go unnoticed, and I'm especially surprised by the projects that really take off on Pinterest! But I have to say, your wreath is receiving some well deserved attention!
I love your wreath! And I SO get not being able to gauge the blog world too! Some of my projects that I loved didn't really get received well, but others that were quick and not thought out were pinned like crazy! Weird!
Also, just wanted to let you know that I really agreed with your take and comment on the discussion over at IC. Loved it!
I LOVE that wreath and pinned it the other day! The only thing stopping me from making it is the time it takes (I'm lazy)!!
But I can live vicariously thru your wreath!
Your wreath is gorgeous, Kristi! I hadn't seen it until today. Somehow I missed that post, off to check it out now. Thanks for hosting!
Oh I do love your wreath! Thank you for hosting. Have a wonderful Easter weekend.
Nothing to share this week, up to my eyeballs in almost finished projects . I am really enjoying all your features though! Love your magazine wreath. I completely agree, sometimes I am blown away at the things that just take off and make the rounds around the blogosphere that I was particularly taken with myself! Some things that I poured my heart and soul into can just be lukewarm to others. Blogging is such an interesting animal. Someone should write a book on the psychology of blogging, especially us DIYer's/Crafter/Redouxers!
Thanks for hosting, Kristi! Your wreath is so creative and fun. Such a simple idea with fabulous results. I LOVE IT! Have a wonderful Easter!

Baldness is the state of missing hair where it usualy grows, especially - the head. The most "famous" form of baldness is a progressive hair thinning condition which is called androgenic alopecia or 'male pattern baldness' that tends to appear in adult male humans and other species. The severity and nature of baldness can vary greatly; it ranges from male and female pattern alopecia ,alopecia areata, which involves the loss of some of the hair from the head, and alopecia totalis, which involves the loss of all head hair, to the most extreme form, alopecia universalis , which involves the loss of all hair from the head and the body.
Treatments for the various forms alopecia have limited success, but typical male pattern baldness is now a very preventable, and reversible (to a certain extent) condition. Thousands of individuals today make use of clinically proven natural treatments, to show noticeable regrowth and prevent any further loss. This Anti Hair Loss Product shows great results and already has really huge feedback.As a general rule, the more hair you've lost the harder it is to restore, but the treatments will help the vast majority of users, and there are new technologies in cosmetic transplant surgery and hair replacement systems that are completely undetectable. A lot of things can cause excessive hair loss.
For e.g. stress, illness, surgery, hormonal imbalance, hair or scalp infection, some medicines (like anticoagulants used for gout, chemotherapy, cancer), excess vitamins, birth control pills, antidepressants etc. One of the main reasons for hair loss in men is the formation of Dihydrotestosterone, a male hormone.
Once formed, Dihydrotestosterone binds to the hair follicle, retards growth and cuts off blood supply to the follicle. Thus, hair starts to thin down and eventually begins to fall. Our natural pills works to block Dihydrotestosterone formation, stop hair follicle shrinkage and promote hair re-growth. The newest proven hair loss treatment is revolutionary invention of Naturomeds.
It is so powerful that is able to stop heavy hair loss in just 7 days. It takes up to 3 month to re-gain lost hair. It`s works by blocking DHT formation (Dihydrotestosterone). Once formed, DHT binds to hair follicle, slows down hair growth and damages blood supply to the follicle.
Thus, hair does not receive the necessary nutrition, begins to thin down and eventually falls. Our pills are a 100% natural hair loss treatment meant to stop DHT formation, stop hair loss and stimulate hair growth. A composition of fine herbs, vitamins and nutrients makes our pills absolutely safe and reliable. It is safe for both men and women. There are no known side effects.

Stonehenge Begins to Break its Silence
Image of Stonehenge at Dusk
Matthew Okrent, Staff Writer
A new structure has been discovered at Stonehenge that is now being called "Blick Mead". The newly discovered structure is an old mud house, potentially one of the first houses built in England. England's prehistoric past began with hunter-gatherers, who are believed to be the first constructors of Stonehenge. This new "home" that was found provides new evidence that the transition from hunter-gathering to sedentary farming occurred around the same time that Stonehenge was built.
According to David Jacques, an archeologist working on the excavation of Blick Mead, "this is the first unknown chapter of Stonehenge." For generations, researchers have discovered new information about this historic structure. Archeologists have examined and dated the rocks, analyzed the rocks' placement, and extracted meanings dealing with religion and honoring the dead. They have also investigated how the rocks were lined up with the sunrise, mid-day sun, and the sunset. However, much remains a mystery. Through the excavation of this Blick Mead, archeologists may be able to learn more about the people who constructed and lived around Stonehenge when it was a young structure. This may be the start of finally understanding the prehistoric structure known as "Stonehenge".
