truththeory--2020-06-28--Study Shows COVID-19 Coronavirus In Waste Water Samples From March Of 2019

CORRECTION: The title of this article has been edited to clarify that the sample has been “potentially found” and it is not a stated fact. A positive result of the test does not guarantee that the virus was present as there could have been a contamination of the test sample or a false positive.

Farmers of bees have been reporting a resurgence in the honey-making creatures as they are seemingly benefiting from the coronavirus lockdowns around the world .
Without bees ( as well as butterflies and other insects ) , we would be struggling to put food on our plates every evening .
It ’ s probably not a stretch to say that the food chain would collapse with catastrophic consequences including famine and even war .

In a 2019 report , it was stated that seven bee species are critically endangered with a further 46 endangered , 24 vulnerable and 101 near-threatened .
According to a BBC story , bees fertilize a third of our food and 80 % of all flowering plants .
Along with other pollinating insects , they have a global economic value of approximately $ 150bn .

“ In a world with less air pollution , bees can make shorter and more profitable ‘ shopping trips ’ , and this may help them rear more young , ” said Mark Brown , professor of evolutionary ecology at Royal Holloway , University of London .

Accordingly, it’s disturbing to hear how bee populations have been plummeting over the past few decades due to issues such as habitat loss, pollution, disease, parasites and pesticides.
In a 2019 report, it was stated that seven bee species are critically endangered with a further 46 endangered, 24 vulnerable and 101 near-threatened.

I took these on 4/11, but our honey bees are THRIVING rn. These little creatures are so sensitive to everything but in the middle of a pandemic ours have been doing better than they ever have in the past 8 years. #SavetheBees bc we’d be in worse shape than we are now w/o them. pic.twitter.com/62s0IEyKq9 — Hannah (@gracehannah317) May 13, 2020
With all this in mind, it’s great to hear that the little buzzing creatures have been doing so well in recent months.
“In a world with less air pollution, bees can make shorter and more profitable ‘shopping trips’, and this may help them rear more young,” said Mark Brown, professor of evolutionary ecology at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Aside from less air pollution due to lockdown restrictions and changes to workers’ commuting habits, there’s another benefit to fewer cars on our roads – less road kill; a 2015 study reported an estimated 24 billion bees and wasps are killed by vehicles across North America annually.
Is there an increased awareness in nature and creatures like bees?
Helen McGregor, beekeeper at the UK’s largest bee farm, Denrosa Apiaries, feels that the Covid-19 lockdowns have been good news for the industry.
“Less traffic, less pollution is bound to make a difference to the environment which of course has a positive knock-on effect for bees,” she said.
“I think people are more aware of what’s going on around them and in the countryside just now because of lockdown. Hopefully we see these changes lasting.
“They are more aware of nature,” McGregor continued. “Maybe seeing hives when they are out and about and thinking more about the food they are eating and where it comes from. It’s taking people back to their roots, making them look at what’s necessary in life and what’s not, it’s back to a basic outlook on life.”
Denrosa Apiaries bee farm are currently working with farms across the length of Britain to ‘loan’ out bees for pollination purposes.

Researchers have found four new amazing species of sharks which use their fins to walk across sea floors and reefs .

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch comprises of two enormous masses of ever-increasing piles of plastic and other trash .

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch comprises of two enormous masses of ever-increasing piles of plastic and other trash. The Eastern Garbage Patch is situated between Hawaii and California, while the Western Garbage Patch extends in an easterly direction towards Japan from the Hawaiian Islands.
The oceanic litter patch is up to 1.6 million square kilometres in size, according to the Ocean Cleanup institution, who have also calculated that the weight of all the trash in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (also known as The Gyre) to be at around 80,000 tons.

And so while The Ocean Voyages Institute should rightly be praised for their remarkable work, it is unfortunately, literally just a drop in the ocean.

The California-based nonprofit charted a Hawaiian sailing cargo ship called Kwai and departed shore in early May. They returned to land on June 23. GPS-enabled satellite beacons, drones and other technology were used in the operation.
As you can see from the photos and from their YouTube video, it was a mammoth undertaking hauling in all the plastic, fishing nets and other assorted trash.
“I am so proud of our hard working crew,” said founder and executive director Mary Crowley in a statement.
“We exceeded our goal of capturing 100 tons of toxic consumer plastics and derelict ‘ghost’ nets. And in these challenging times, we are continuing to help restore the health of our ocean, which influences our own health and the health of the planet.”
In 2019, the Ocean Voyages Institute engaged in a similar, but slightly smaller project, collecting 42 tons of debris after spending 25 days out at sea.
“We feel that our cleanup work in the Gyre really helps address some of this debris before it arrives in the islands,” she said. “The oceans can’t wait for these nets and debris to break down into microplastics which impair the ocean’s ability to store carbon and toxify the fragile ocean food web,” Crowley added.
Much of the ropes, fishing nets and consumer plastics will be recycled into fuel and repurposed into building insulation.
Plans are underway for more expeditions this year and in years ahead.

Planning to move in with your SO but not too keen on sharing the bed ?
Well , we have got some good news for you .
Even if you might be worried about cover hogging or a new sleep schedule , sleeping with your partner can actually be good for both of you !
In an experiment , 12 heterosexual couples were tested .
These pairs had been together for an average of 23.5 years each , and the experiment showed how sleeping with your partner is linked to a 10 % increase in REM sleep when compared to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also showed longer and undisturbed fragments of REM when they were sleeping together .
REM sleep cycles are times when dreaming and memory consolidation processes start working .
Sleeping with your partner won ’ t necessarily be tranquil .
In the experiment , the couples showed more movement when sleeping together than when apart .
But even then , both individuals entered sleep stages almost around the same time !
When sleeping apart , the subjects spent around 36.6 % of the night moving through their sleep stages .
But when they were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % .
Read : Taking Daytime Naps Could Reduce Stress And Increase Your Health Henning Johannes Drews is the lead author of this study , which was published in Frontiers In Psychiatry .
This postdoctoral researcher from the Center for Integrative Psychiatry , Germany , explained how these new findings differ from previous data we had .
“ There is – even in the medical community – the notion that if you sleep with a partner , you might subjectively think that you slept well or better , but objectively , your sleep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people to take away that if you want to share a bed with your partner , there is nothing to be said against it .
“ It might even be very good for you due to the REM-sleep stabilization.
” Polysomnography is the kind of sleep study where brain waves , movement of the subject , and the oxygen levels in the subject ’ s blood are all recorded to understand sleeping cycles better .
For this study , the subject couples had to spend 4 nights sleeping in a lab , monitored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the couples slept in 2 separate rooms in individual beds , and on the next weekend , they were asked to sleep together in the same room .
When they spent the night together , they informed the scientists how they felt their sleep was of better quality than when apart .
But the researchers did not find any difference in the total sleeping time or how long it took them to fall asleep .
But the only difference was found in the amount of REM sleep and its structure .
When the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ REM sleep disruptions .
But when sleeping together , there were only 5.4 disruptions !
On average the REM periods lasted for about 13.4 minutes when they were sleeping apart , but it increased to 22 minutes when sleeping next to each other .
And the longer the REM cycles , the better it is for our health !
Drews got 2 explanations from this finding .
The biological explanation says while our body temperature fluctuates a lot during the REM cycles , the partner ’ s body helps our body temperature stay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reduced REM disruptions is that the presence of a partner makes us feel more secure .

Planning to move in with your SO but not too keen on sharing the bed? Well, we have got some good news for you. Even if you might be worried about cover hogging or a new sleep schedule, sleeping with your partner can actually be good for both of you!
In an experiment, 12 heterosexual couples were tested. These pairs had been together for an average of 23.5 years each, and the experiment showed how sleeping with your partner is linked to a 10% increase in REM sleep when compared to those individuals sleeping apart. Sleeping partners also showed longer and undisturbed fragments of REM when they were sleeping together. REM sleep cycles are times when dreaming and memory consolidation processes start working.
Sleeping with your partner won’t necessarily be tranquil. In the experiment, the couples showed more movement when sleeping together than when apart. But even then, both individuals entered sleep stages almost around the same time!
When sleeping apart, the subjects spent around 36.6% of the night moving through their sleep stages. But when they were sleeping together, this increased to 46.9%.

Henning Johannes Drews is the lead author of this study, which was published in Frontiers In Psychiatry. This postdoctoral researcher from the Center for Integrative Psychiatry, Germany, explained how these new findings differ from previous data we had.
“There is – even in the medical community – the notion that if you sleep with a partner, you might subjectively think that you slept well or better, but objectively, your sleep is more disturbed. I would like people to take away that if you want to share a bed with your partner, there is nothing to be said against it.
“It might even be very good for you due to the REM-sleep stabilization.”
Polysomnography and Sleep Quality
Polysomnography is the kind of sleep study where brain waves, movement of the subject, and the oxygen levels in the subject’s blood are all recorded to understand sleeping cycles better.
For this study, the subject couples had to spend 4 nights sleeping in a lab, monitored by scientists.
On one weekend, the couples slept in 2 separate rooms in individual beds, and on the next weekend, they were asked to sleep together in the same room. When they spent the night together, they informed the scientists how they felt their sleep was of better quality than when apart. But the researchers did not find any difference in the total sleeping time or how long it took them to fall asleep.
But the only difference was found in the amount of REM sleep and its structure. When the couples slept apart, there were 8.5 REM sleep disruptions. But when sleeping together, there were only 5.4 disruptions! On average the REM periods lasted for about 13.4 minutes when they were sleeping apart, but it increased to 22 minutes when sleeping next to each other. And the longer the REM cycles, the better it is for our health!
Drews got 2 explanations from this finding. The biological explanation says while our body temperature fluctuates a lot during the REM cycles, the partner’s body helps our body temperature stay stable.
The psychological explanation for the reduced REM disruptions is that the presence of a partner makes us feel more secure. REM sleep has been observed to be disturbed in people with higher psychological stress. The presence of another body indicates that the environment is safe, hence there are fewer disruptions when sleeping with your partner.

Another interesting find from this study was that when sleeping together, there is a sleep synchronization taking place. 47.5% of epochs (small chunks of time within a sleep study that allow scientists to compare stages of sleep) were synchronized when the subjects slept with their partners. The study suggests the depth of the relationship could be deeply impacting the synchronization.
This study was a small one and rather experimental. The data has not been verified on larger subject groups. It took into consideration on healthy, heterosexual couples, so non-hetero couples might give varying data. The data found via this test is a trend and there has to be further research and experiments to fully support the claims.
Till then, if you sleep more comfortably alone, forcefully sleeping with your partner might not be so beneficial for you. Do what helps you get a good night’s sleep!

The much-loved turtle was released in December 2017, and arrived in Australia 26 months later. She averaged 48 kilometers per day.
A wrong turn added another 5000km
Even more remarkable is that Yoshi initially headed up the west coast of southern Africa, as far as Angola – a distance of around 2500km, before making a U-turn and heading back down to Cape Town. From there she crossed the Indian Ocean to a turtle nesting site on Western Australia’s Pilbara coastline.
The scientists tracking her journey believe that she may originally have come from Australia and has gone home to nest and breed.
For the past six weeks, Yoshi has been hanging out in a 30km stretch of coast in the proximity of the Eighty Mile Beach Marine Park.
“She was coming to an age when she was probably sexually mature and we were wondering whether she would actually adjust back to life in the wild,” Ms Musson said.
The aquarium staff are also delighted that Yoshi has chosen the location she has, because it is a protected marine area with a healthy existing population of sea turtles.
The Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions have been monitoring Yoshi’s progress.
At the time of her release in Cape Town, Yoshi weighed 180 kilograms.
