The Subtle Science of Alignment in Yoga - Yoga Journal

Does that colleague really dislike you, or are you just imagining it? Most of us have wondered whether someone secretly dislikes us, but it can be difficult to tell because people rarely say so directly. Instead, psychologists suggest that social rejection can reveal itself through subtle behavioural cues, from reduced eye contact and particular body language to fleeting microexpressions of contempt.

Most of what we talk about when we talk about ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder) focuses on how it affects people’s mental abilities and emotions. There’s the hyperfocus, the creativity and the ability to perform under pressure. And then there’s the impulsiveness, the racing thoughts and the emotional dysregulation.

A scowling owl, bears sharing a laugh and a leisurely praying mantis are among the finalists of the 2026 Nikon Comedy Wildlife Awards. In the photo above, a female brown bear was captured appearing to do her morning exercises around Lake Clark in Alaska, US. Her workout routine included some bicycle kicks as she appeared to get herself ready for the summer season. Scroll down to see nine more entertaining photos of nature's top comedians. Caught red-handed Udo Harms/ Nikon Comedy Wildlife AwardsThis red squirrel was caught red-handed in Germany while biting off more than it could chew.

Mud from a fjord shows an Atlantic air pattern brought wetter, colder spells to southern Greenland, a clue to how its ice may fare. Greenland’s ice is shrinking as the planet warms. But in the island’s southwest, rainfall and snowfall have been influenced by the same North Atlantic air-pressure pattern for at least 5,000 years. When that pattern tipped one way, the region turned wetter and colder. The record comes from mud on the floor of a Greenland fjord, and it suggests snowfall, not only temperature, shaped how the area’s ice grew and shrank. It doesn’t yet show how glaciers there will respond to the warming ahead. Johan Faust, a researcher at MARUM, the Center for Marine Environmental Sciences at the University of Bremen in Germany, led the work with colleagues in Germany, Norway, Denmark and Canada. A seesaw in the airThe pattern is called the North Atlantic Oscillation. It’s the difference in air pressure between a low that sits near Iceland and a high near the Azores, and it’s strongest in winter. When that difference is large, the pattern is in its positive phase. Northwestern Europe and southwestern Greenland both get more rain and snow.
