To low-carb or not to low-carb? It's the dieting question that in recent times has divided nutritionists, health professionals, and a personal trainer or two.
The low-carb craze reached its apotheosis in recent years with the keto diet, which took over the blogosphere and social media and blew into mainstream consciousness. But in the past 12 months it has experienced pushback from experts due to its side effects; some experts say it's bad for your workout performance and potentially even dangerous.
Of course, the debate over low-carb diets is so lively because up until now we've lacked the proper research to truly make a call on how good that diet is — but things might be about to change.
The $12 million study recruited 234 people and involved two steps. First, they were simply set a goal of losing 12 percent of their body weight over nine to ten weeks. This initial task gets directly at what we're told over and over again about dieting: losing weight is one thing; keeping it off is another.
164 of the subjects achieved the target weight and entered the second part of the study. They were then randomly assigned either a high carb, moderate carb or low carb diet, and had their meals and snacks carefully dished out to them for 20 weeks.
After the five-month period was up, the differences in results were telling. People on the low-carb diet had burned 200 extra calories a day and the moderates 100 calories a day. Those on the high-carb diet didn't chew through any extra calories.
So what's going on here? Basically, the study looks like it's confirmed one of the core hypotheses of the low-carb diet — the carbohydrate-insulin model.
The carbohydrate-insulin model suggests that a carb-heavy diet leads to weight gain because carbohydrates drive up insulin in the body and cause it to hold on to fat, hampering its ability to burn calories.
To keep off the weight, you need to reduce your carbohydrate intake and replace it with fat calories. Insulin levels go down, which then encourages calorie burn, and in turn melts away at the fat. This, in essence, is what happened to the low-carb group in the new study.
The research has a couple of caveats.
First, the findings may still not be applicable to most people. Why? Because it has proven extremely hard in the past to get people to follow a diet that's not being fed to them.
The second issue is maybe more problematic, and involves a measurement technique, doubly labelled water, commonly used with "free-living" subjects (that is, people who aren't in a metabolic chamber). The way it was implemented in this study delivered some potentially erroneous results — a point the Vox story goes into some detail to explain.
In short, don't switch up what you eat just yet. More evidence is needed. In the meantime the best diet is, as always, the one you can stick to.

Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir punches eighthfinals ticket
Pinar Karsiyaka Izmir remained unbeaten in the Last 32 and clinched a berth in the Eurocup Eighthfinals with an 86-79 victory over Paris Levallois. Bobby Dixon came within 1 rebound of a triple-double and D.J. Strawberry added 19 points for Karsiyaka, which improved to 4-0 in Group M and can clinch first place – and with it home-court advantage in the next stage – with a win in either of its remaining games. Paris dropped to 1-3 in the group. Paris led by 2 entering the fourth quarter, but Strawberry's go-ahead three sparked an 8-0 Karsiyaka run and the hosts never relinquished the lead again/ Dixon finished with 16 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals. Jon Diebler added 17 points, Juan Palacios scored 13 and Kenny Gabriel posted 10 points and 9 boards for the winners. Sharrod Ford led Paris with 22 points and 10 rebounds and Blake Schilb and Maleye Ndoye scored 17 apiece in defeat.
Palacios scored the first two baskets for the hosts and after Mike Green put Paris on the scoreboard, a Strawberry three-pointer made it 7-2. Schilb carried the visitors to within 1 twice and made it 13-12 midway through the opening quarter. After Palacios extended the difference to 6, Schilb and Ndoye carried Paris within 18-17. Schilb's three-point play and three-pointer gave him 12 first-quarter points and Paris a 23-25 edge. Ford gave Paris a 5-point cushion before Soner Senturk's basket made it 25-28 after 10 minutes. Xavier Corosine opened the second quarter with a three, but Karsiyaka used a 7-0 spurt in the middle of the period to move back in front, 35-33. Dionte Christmas hit from downtown for Paris, but the momentum remained with the hosts, who got a three from Dixon and a pair of baskets from Erkan Veyseloglu to take a 44-36 lead. Corosine kept Paris in the game at 49-43 at halftime.
Ndoye opened the second half with a three and after baskets from Diebler and Strawberry, Schilb connected from downtown too. Diebler's third three of the game made it 60-49, but back-to-back triples from Ndoye and Corosine rallied Paris to within 3. Ford tied the game with a basket on an assist from Schilb, whose free throws put the visitors up 61-63. Despite Dixon's three at the other end, Ford ensured a Paris lead, 65-67, through three quarters. Karsiyaka regained control by scoring the first 8 points of the fourth quarter – half of which came from Strawberry's hands. Ndoye connected on his fifth three of the night, but Gabriel countered for Karsiyaka. Ford gave the visitors hope at 78-74 with four minutes remaining, however Palacios and Diebler kept the hosts comfortable in front en route to the important victory.

Thanks to a commanding opening stretch, the Wheaton Thunder Men's Baseball team is off to a strong start this season, and they're cruising into conference play.
Currently sitting at a 13-6 record, the team started off the year on fire in the non-conference schedule, racking up seven straight wins.
Their winning streak began at Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where the Thunder opened the season with a pair of wins against Covenant College. Then they went to Fort Pierce, Florida for the team's annual spring break trip, where the Thunder won all of their first five games in the Florida Coast Spring Training Tournament. Wheaton gained two victories against Norwich University, then took a game apiece from Geneva College, Western Connecticut State and Cairn University.
Two losses in a doubleheader against Washington College stopped the streak at seven wins, but the Thunder stormed back with a commanding 11-1 win over the College of Mount Saint Vincent to finish off the tournament.
The Thunder returned home to Lee Pfund Stadium in Carol Stream for the first time on Friday, March 22, when they opened up the Wheaton Invitational against Concordia College (Minn.). Wheaton prevailed over Concordia 8-2 in the opener, and then tallied another victory against Saint Mary's University (Minn.) on Saturday. The invitational finished with the Thunder falling, 5-10, to Concordia University Chicago in Saturday's nightcap.
The Thunder were 10-3 heading into conference play and moved seamlessly into their CCIW regular-season schedule with a win against Illinois Wesleyan University, 8-5.
Wheaton's first conference series of the year was a face-off against the Big Blue of Millikin University on March 30 and April 1. The Thunder took the opener on Saturday, 9-3, but fell 4-0 in game two. Millikin won the rubber match on Monday, 3-0, to drop Wheaton's conference record to 2-2.
Immediately following the Millikin series, Wheaton went back to work in a CCIW doubleheader against Carthage College on Tuesday. The Thunder won game one in dramatic fashion, thanks to a walk-off double by freshman infielder Matthias Haggerty in the bottom of the 10th inning, which led Wheaton to the 9-8 victory. Game two saw Carthage earn a 10-7 win, and Wheaton's conference record remain even at 3-3.
The Thunder will look to carry momentum from their strong opening throughout the CCIW season. They aim to continue performing the way they did their dominant non-conference stretch, according to senior infielder and team captain Ben Brittain.
Brittain himself is among those setting the tone for the Thunder batters, as he leads the team with a .387 average and 29 hits. Sophomore infield/outfield player Joel Pierce has been another bright spot for the Thunder offense thus far, leading the team in doubles, total bases and home runs with eight, 45 and three, respectively.
"When the pressure of performing is spread throughout the lineup, hitters are more relaxed at the plate which builds confidence," added Brittain.
Wheaton has strength on the mound thanks to leadership from senior starting pitcher Michael McCraith, who is the top performer among the hurlers with 32.1 innings pitched, a 3-1 overall record and a 1.95 ERA. Junior pitcher Christian Bolhuis has also added three wins on his way to a 3-2 record.
"Overall, both our confidence between individuals and teammates is at an all-time high and we are hoping to continue the trend as we begin conference," Brittain said.
With a 13-6 record overall and a 3-3 record in conference, the Thunder are poised to enter the bulk of their CCIW schedule.
Up next is a three-game series against Elmhurst College on April 5 and 6, with game one on Friday in Elmhurst, and games two and three in Carol Stream on Saturday.

Deaf Community Culture & Wealth combine with Interpreter Community Culture & Wealth to work together to improve relationship, support, partnership, and create a robust community as a whole. Much like two different sides of a coin; each having its own purpose yet without the other side it loses its value. As Dr. Thomas Holcomb's article and great notion, The DEAM Approach to Interpreting, explains how both communities can work together to benefit each other.


Then the officials went together to Daniel's house and found him praying and asking for God's help.
Although the verse above doesn't specify the time, I imagine Daniel might have prayed in the early morning, at noon and again in the evening. I have set this scene at noon time.
Quite strong sunlight is coming from the left, casting shadows to the right in this scene.
Daniel kneeling in his upper room, praying.
Three administrators standing by the wall below Daniel's house.
This scene is an external view of Daniel's house. Notice the three administrators standing below Daniel's window, spying on him. These are the three administrators I have illustrated in previous scenes (2,3 & 4).
