January 18th has been dubbed by the media "Blue Monday", the most depressing day of the year. Among other factors, like weather and post holiday finances, one of the contributing factors to this depressing day is that it's usually around the time that people have failed at their New Years resolutions. We thought this would be a good time to discuss willpower, what it is, how we can build more of it and what impediments stand in the way for us to follow through with our goals. Join us Fridays...

New Year, new show time! Behind the Headlines will now be broadcast 2 hours earlier than previously, that's 12-2pm EST / 5-7pm UTC / 6-8pm CET New Year celebrations apparently passed relatively uneventfully in Germany, which last year took in a staggering 1.1 million refugees fleeing Western wars in the Middle East and North Africa.

Despite the fact that there are many people who are doing good work in the intricacies of exploring the ideal diet for humanity, it often seems there are missing pieces of the puzzle as far as having a solid foundational understanding of the ponerized world we live in. Likewise, some who do a great job of exploring the playground of the psychopaths in which we live, looking into the corruption, violence and complete lack of logic in which we're embedded, yet don't seem to have a clue about...

Despite much scholarly research already providing grounds for doubting the historical accuracy of 'Jesus', most assume that this figure nevertheless had at least some historical basis...

But a closer look indicates that Erdogan either had no choice but to go along with the pre-planned provocation, or he was simply informed of it...
