Of everything the pandemic has stripped from her, Juliana Jackson, 31, a second-grade teacher in Denver, misses her alone time the most.
"I am either working or with my husband," she said. "The car is literally the only place I am ever alone."
Her husband used to go to the gym a few times a week for hours. As a project manager, he often traveled for work, giving her days of space.
Alone in their apartment, she would binge reality TV shows like "Supernanny" and play Taylor Swift on full volume when she was cooking. She would order pepperoni pizza, something he, a healthy eater, would never touch. "For me, the greasier the better," she said.
She would also use the time to vent about her partner, a normal part of any relationship that sometimes helps problems. "Now I go on walks and call people to vent about him and things about living together," she said. "I got a membership for the botanic garden, where I will hike by myself for hours."
As the pandemic has stretched on, her need for privacy has grown more urgent. She said she knew "there is an end in sight" — she was prioritized for vaccination, as a teacher, and got her first dose in early March — but she still chafed at the endless together time. So for a weekend in February she booked two nights at Life House, a boutique hotel in Denver with a bar decorated in wildflowers and guest rooms decked out in Marshall speakers.
She watched bad TV, ordered unhealthy takeout, blasted music and took in the sights of a neighborhood that isn't her own. "It was amazing," she said. "They upgraded me so I had a king bed and a set of bunk beds. I used them as daybeds."
"I told my husband I just need to get out," she said. "He asked me if I had a secret boyfriend."
With the pandemic raging on, many Americans are still cooped up at home with roommates and family members. During the summer they could head outdoors for space, but the winter's cold temperatures and shortened days hampered that escape plan in much of the country. Spring cannot come soon enough — for even more reasons this year.
A lack of privacy has taken a toll on some relationships, causing roommates to part ways and adult children to move away from parents. Some have dealt with the issue by coming to terms with the fact that everything they do or say will now be witnessed by another. But many, like Ms. Jackson, have invented strategies to carve out spaces.
April Bartle, 19, a student at the University of Michigan-Flint, tried to live with her parents in her childhood home in Sandusky, Mich., when her college switched to remote learning last spring. "It was hard to find privacy, especially at the end of the day when I like to decompress alone," she said. "They really wanted me to come hang out with them in the living room."
They interrupted her classes, asking her to do the dishes or other tasks around the house. She was also acutely aware that they could hear every word when she was talking on the phone to friends or making social media videos. "My room shares a wall with the living room," she said.
So when her sophomore year started in September, she decided to live with her sister and brother-in-law in a different town. "They live in a bi-level, so my room is on the upstairs part, and she and her husband are on the bottom part," Ms. Bartle said. "My sister respects my boundaries, and I respect hers. She understands what it is like to be younger and want your space."
Some Americans are finding quirky, previously overlooked spaces in the house to call their own.
Heather Christle, 40, an author and creative writing professor who lives in Decatur, Ga., said her happy space is now a closet. "My closest is protected by a multiple-door situation," she said. "There is the bedroom, and then the bathroom, and the closet is on the far side of that. It's the furthest point you can get from anybody else."
It's not that she doesn't want to see her partner, a poet and professor at Wright State University, and her 6-year-old daughter. In fact, when her daughter slipped a note under the door into her closet the other day, she found it sweet and endearing. But she needs a private den to be creative.
The closet — "I don't know how big it is, but I am 5-foot-6, and when I lie down there is another two feet beside me," she said — has no furniture; she prefers to sit on the carpeted floor. It also still has her clothes hanging.
But she moved her books in there, so she can do research for a book she's writing about London's Kew Gardens. She also hung a tapestry on the wall with an image of an Alpine meadow, which serves as a backdrop for when she teaches and goes to therapy, all activities she does in her closet.
The only sacrifice she is making for her privacy is sunlight. "A closet is a dark space," she said. "I have been taking my vitamin D."
Tom Sharpe, a 52-year-old high school teacher in Toronto, has created an oasis for himself in his backyard, even in winter.
He has a wooden table and chairs, which he covers with a patio umbrella or a tarp when he wants to be out there in the rain or snow. "I have a really, really warm bomber-style hat that goes down to my ears with fur," he said. "I put on that and thick ski pants and an outdoor winter jacket, and I can be out there for hours." He has a patio heater, but he doesn't turn it on often because it scares away the squirrels and rabbits that run around him.
"I will sit out there, have a beer, and chill out," he said. "It's good I prefer cold than hot. When we used to go on Caribbean getaways, I spent the whole time finding shade."
Others have given up on their quest for privacy altogether.
Erica Naito-Campbell, 40, a lawyer in Portland, Ore., prioritizes her therapy. In the spring of 2019 she testified in a criminal sexual harassment trial, and she has been trying to get her life back to normal ever since.
Her property sits on a half-acre of land. With a ravine and a pond, it's officially considered a wetland. In the summer she would go out there and speak her mind freely to her therapist, knowing she was surrounded by nature.
When it got cold, however, she didn't know what to do. "I tried sitting in my car one time, but it felt kind of weird," she said. She is currently renovating her house, which means construction workers are there daily, even in the bedroom. Also, when she is inside, her partner overhears her confidential conversations.
She had a few sessions where she tried to speak in a whisper, but then she gave up. She decided that continuing with her therapy was more important than keeping its contents a secret.
A few weeks ago, she said, "there was nowhere to go, so I sat at my kitchen desk and was sobbing on the phone, and the carpet guy was 20 feet away. I was like, 'Oh well. I need to have a therapy session.'"

Having houseplants in our home provides us with so many benefits. We feel calmer, and our house looks great. Why should our fish friends be left out of the fun? Did you know you could put plants in your aquarium?
You can make the environment for your fish more enriching with plants. If you're ready to dive into the world of aquascaping, read on to find our houseplants you can put in aquarium.
Why Use Real Plants Instead of Fake Ones?
You must wonder why you should put so much effort into caring for plants when you can buy fake plants. While they might look okay, they do not give you the benefits natural plants do.
First of all, your fish will interact with natural plants more. Some fish might even eat them sometimes. They work hard to clean your tank water for you. Plants consume ammonia and nitrates in the water keeping the nitrogen level in check. That allows you to change less water every week, giving your fish less of a shock. They also produce oxygen in the tank.
Do You Need Special Equipment for Aquatic Plants
You may have heard that you need fancy lights and equipment for keeping aquatic plants in your fish tank. While that is true for certain plants, many beginner-friendly plants don't need any special setup. For beginner aquascaping, you will need:
- Regular tank lights
- Liquid aquarium fertilizer
- Root tabs
- Long tweezers
- Scissors
- Spatula
If you want to go all out for your tank, you can invest in a CO2 injection system and superior aquatic plant lights. Doing this will open your options for adding more plants to your aquascape.
However, if you want some mosses, Anubias, and Jungle Val in your tank, you don't need anything fancy.
Types of Aquarium Plants
Aquatic plants can be classified by their position in the tank, whether they float, and their hardiness. They are also classified biologically into different genera and families. Here are the basic types of plants
Floating Plants
Floating plants stay on the surface of the water in your tank. Their roots grow downwards. They are an excellent source of cover for shy fishes and provide a fun textural element to the top of your tank.
They also reduce the light for low-light plants in the middle or foreground of the tank. They propagate very fast, so you will need to remove extra plant matter, or it will block too much light, prevent airflow, and make feeding your fish difficult.
Attached Plants
These plants don't float on top of the water or need to be planted in the substrate. They are great for the midground of your tank. You can tie or even superglue them to rocks or driftwood in your tank. The attached plants and floating plants get their nutrients from the water.
Rooted Plants
These plants form long root runners in the substrate. They need root tab fertilizers placed near them in the substrate.
List of Aquatic Plants
Riccia fluitans
Riccia fluitans, also known as crystalwort moss, is a floating plant that grows green mats of thin stems and leaves. It originated in Europe and Asia and can tolerate low CO2 and moderate light. Floating on the surface, it will grow faster in full light and gets the CO2 it needs from the air.
It can be submerged in the water and treated like an attached plant, but then it requires CO2 injections in the water.
In optimal conditions, it will form oxygen bubbles on the leaves, a beautiful effect known as pearling. It has a wide temperature range of 59 – 86°F but will thrive in the 70s°F. The pH requirement is between 6 and 8, making it great for many fish. It is the favorite hiding place for small fry.
Amazon Frogbit
Amazon frogbit or Limnobium laevigatum is a floating plant native to Central and South America but found as an invasive species in California. It has round green leaves with invisible hairs, grows aggressively, and needs constant trimming.
It forms pretty white flowers that look great on the tank's surface when it matures. A hardy aquatic plant like this can survive without special lighting and CO2 injections. It needs a water pH of 6 to 7.5 and tolerates temperatures between 68-86°F.
Dwarf Water Lettuce
Dwarf water lettuce of the Nile plant is an herbaceous perennial plant found worldwide. This is also another floating plant. Its leaves form florets similar to the cabbage and lettuce we eat, and its roots grow fairly long down into the tank. Fishes enjoy swimming in between its long roots.
The required temperature is between 72°F to 86°F, and the pH range is 6 to 7.5. Remember to quarantine your new dwarf water lettuce before adding it to the main tank. It might shed its roots, but that is normal, and will grow right back.
Red Root Floaters
Red root floaters or Phyllanthus Fluitans are native to the Amazon river basin and are extremely easy-to-grow floating plants perfect for low-tech tanks. They have round red leaves, and they look like young water lettuce.
To plant them, you simply need to place them on the surface of your aquarium, and viola, they start propagating. Remember to remove some of them, or else they will block light in the entire tank.
Anubius is an aquatic or semi-aquatic plant native to tropical Africa. It is a staple in beginner aquascaping since it is hardy, low-tech, and resilient.
It has triangular or spear-shaped leaves, which can be wider, thinner, or wavy depending on the variety. The color ranges from light green to deep dark green leaves.
You can plant it in the nutrient-rich substrate or attach it to the tank's driftwood, rocks, or other decorations. We recommend keeping the rhizome above the substrate. The roots can be in the substrate.
They come in very large, medium, and petite varieties. Small plants could be large baby plants, so be careful while buying them.
They grow fine without CO2 injection and need a water temperature between 72°F – 78°F. They need the average slightly alkaline water pH and can survive lighting conditions.
Bucephalandra, more commonly known as Buce, is rare in the US but growing in popularity. These plants need low light and do better when attached to rocks or driftwood than planted in the substrate.
The stressed leaves might undergo some melting when placed in your tank, but as long as the rhizome is undamaged, the plant will grow more leaves. The new leaves will be acclimated to your tank. Buce plants look like anubius, and their care is very similar to theirs.
Buce plants are a genus of plants with about thirty known species ranging in size and colors. You can even find them with red or purple leaves or stems.
Believe it or not, these plants are from the same family as the peace lily and sometimes form white flower bracts and even berries. They are an excellent addition to the midground or, if large enough, the background of your tank.
Java Fern
Leptochilus pteropus is commonly known as the Java Fern after the Indonesian island, where it was discovered. Many regional varieties have different sizes, colors, and leaf shapes. There are popular cultivars such as the narrow leaf or trident leaf varieties.
These robust plants are extremely popular since they are easy to grow without equipment. They do well in tanks full of fish. You must glue or tie these plants to something rigid like driftwood or rock since they do the same in the wild. They do not do great planted into the substrate.
They propagate by pods or growths on leaves that attach to something hard and start growing. These plants are slow growers and need help to fend off algae. Algae-eating fish ensure that it thrives.
Bolbitis is a group of fern plants. A fantastic member of this group for beginners is the Bolbitis Heudelotii Difformis. The plant can be grown above or underwater. It has intricately shaped fern leaves.
Bolbitis is an epiphyte like the java fern, and you plant this similarly by attaching it to the hardscape, not the substrate. These plants get their nutrients from the water, not the substrate.
Like buce plants and the fava fern, they require liquid fertilizer added to the water. They also clean the water of ammonia and nitrates. You still have to change the water regularly, but you can change it a lesser amount than before.
These Bolbitis like a temperature between 70°F – 80°F and a pH of 5.5 – 7.5. This is the standard temperature and pH most low-tech plants require, and many fish thrive in.
Ludwigia Palustris Super Red
As the name suggests, this aquatic perennial herb is bright red and makes your tank look amazing. The vibrant red contrasts the cool shades of greens in your tank. It is a good background plant, but trimming it to the correct size makes it a brilliant midground plant. CO2 injection is unnecessary, but it will help it grow faster.
The red color means that fish will go wild for it. They may eat it all up. So choose it for tanks in which the picky fish won't care for it.
When you receive the plant, it might be green, but it will get red with more care. They need water rich in iron, nitrates, and phosphates to achieve their bright red color.
Mosses are brilliant, versatile plants that add much greenery to your tank. Most mosses are hardy and don't need CO2 injection or high-powered lights. While they will, of course, benefit from them, they can grow well without them. They form attachments to the hardscape of your tank.
They can attach themselves with time, but aquascapers are coming up with creative ways to attach them quickly, like using water-safe glue. This method is better than tying them with a string since it could harm the fish.
Mosses can also be shaped into extraordinary objects to decorate your tank. If you aim to create an aquascape that looks like a desert, you can turn mosses into cacti by shaping them. You can also make them resemble grassy hills.
Some mosses look like ferns, so you can also take advantage of that. If you have a moss-dominant tank, remember they prefer the water on the cooler side. They do best in temperatures closer to 69 °F to 75 °F range.
It wouldn't be an article about aquatic plants without mentioning crypts. The aquascaping staples are readily available in aquarium stores.
Native to tropical Asia, Cryptocoryne, commonly called crypts, is a group of over sixty flowering aquatic plants that come in many varieties. They are planted in the substrate if you keep the rhizome above the substrate.
Eleocharis Parvula
Eleocharis parvula, commonly known as dwarf spikerush or hair grass, is a popular carpet plant used in aquascaping. It can imitate real grass with it short, thin leaves that closely resemble blades of grass.
These are planted directly in the substrate for the foreground of your tanks. They are the best aquatic groundcover for low-tech tanks without CO2 injection.
Jungle Val
Vallisneria Americana, also known as Jungle Val, is a common freshwater aquarium plant that has remained a favorite for fish hobbyists for decades. Its consistent popularity is because it survives all kinds of lighting and water conditions. The impressive pH range of 6 to 9 is a testament to its hardiness. It likes the temperature between 64°F and 82°F.
The long leaves create a perfect playground for fish to play hide and seek. Just remember they do better in larger tanks because they grow quickly.
Now you know enough about aquatic plants to get started. You need to get your toes wet if you are ever going to cross the river. We hope this has helped you choose some plants to start your journey into the beautiful world of aquascaping. We wish you good luck whether you want a better environment for your fish or you want to create breathtaking aquascapes.

Hello Scorpio, and welcome to your season.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Oct 21, 2021
Photo: Peach ShutterStock/Shutterstock.com
Hello Scorpio, and welcome to your season which runs from October 22 to November 21, 2021. The Sun in Scorpio will last 30 days, joined by Mars and Mercury in the near future.
Scorpio is the season of lust, of danger - it's the season of spirituality and intuition - and, it's the season of devotion, loyalty and service.
Scorpio season, starting on the 22 of October, is everything we love about 'the dark side.' It's why we adore murder mysteries, and all things sexy and fashionable.
With Scorpio Sun, comes fresh life - and we are all a part of it.
"Luke, I am your father." The Ultimate Scorpio - Darth Vadar revealed this outstanding fact to his enemy-son, in Star Wars, and in its way, it's typical of the kind of revelation this season has in store for us.
This is the big reveal, and because the Sun is now in Scorpio, that reveal will more than likely be related to love and lust.
Be on the lookout for exposing secrets during this season. If you've been hiding something big, there's a good chance it will come out, and in a way, that could be a truly beautiful thing.
For some of us, we hide our feelings and emotions, thinking them too frail and vulnerable for the world to see - but then again, love may not want to stay in the dark, and in this case - it doesn't stand a chance.
Love wants light, and during the Sun in Scorpio, it's going to find a way.
Zodiac Signs Whose Secret Love Gets Revealed During The Sun In Scorpio Starting October 22, 2021:
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
You're not so far off from having a similar type of aggressive personality to that of Scorpio, and when it's Scorpio season, you tend to feel all the dark drives associated with the sign.
One of the ways this seasonal transit works for you is in your love life, and how you've been holding on to a secret that really feels like it's ripe enough to not let out as public knowledge.
The truth is - there's someone you adore, and you can no longer hide this information.
What's troubling is that you're probably already partnered, so your revealed love secret may not come as good news to your partner.
However, you are an Aries, and that means you are hard-headed and determined.
You tried being passive, but HA, that doesn't work in your world, and so, your big secret is that you love someone - else. It might be time to sacrifice one for the other. Sad, but true.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
Nothing feels better to you than to have your season come 'round, and here it is, in all of its dark glory.
You feel justified in everything you do; you take what's yours and you discard what no longer has use for *you*.
You have a secret love, someone you've been crushing on for a long time. Well, the time has come where you now feel powerful enough to approach them and, well, make them yours.
You get that way - that 'all or nothing at all' attitude that makes you think you can just claim a person as your own.
Chances are, they go along with you, simply because you truly are as charming as they say.
So, now that you are ready to approach your secret love and make them into your 'known' love, will you be good to them?
Yes, you'll demand undying love, but will you return that love with devotion and kindness? That waits to be seen, Scorpio.
Related Stories From YourTango:
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
If it's dark, you're in. You just love the end of the year, and for you, Scorpio season only means that Sagittarius season is right around the corner.
Still, you've got that cusp energy on your side, which gives you the proverbial 'edge' when it comes to love and lust.
Scorpio Sun brings you courage and nerve; you want to pursue something that's only been in your mind - you want to make something REAL, and that 'something' is a person, someone you have wanted in every which way but loose for a long, long time.
Your nerve will take you from point A to point B, and what remained as a mere fantasy for so long, is now on its way to becoming your romantic reality.
You'll be feeling amorous and maybe even a little pushy during this season. And you will do what you want to do, because you're a Sagittarius, and going your own way is your personal style. Have fun, use condoms, Sagittarius.

After scoring the game-sealing goal in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Final, midfielder Rose Lavelle has been heralded as a future star of the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT). Over the weekend, Lavelle, along with fellow Washington Spirit midfielder Andi Sullivan came to Broome County to lead a youth soccer clinic at the Greater Binghamton Sports Complex.
"I think it's really cool," Lavelle said. "I know when we were younger we did these kind of camps, and it meant so much to us to be able to have players to look up to and to be like, 'I want to be in their shoes one day,' so it's been cool to now see how it comes full circle, and we're able to give back to the sport in the same way that it was given to us. And it's so fun to interact with all these players, and you could tell how much it means to them. It's been awesome."
The event focused on more than 200 boys and girls between the ages of six and 18 who participated in skill-development drills on Saturday and an age-appropriate World Cup-themed tournament on Sunday.
"I think we both look for opportunities where we can play all the time and go to camps, and I think this one is just so well organized, well run," Sullivan said. "It brings me a lot of joy to see all the kids just enjoying themselves and getting lots of opportunities to try new things and play and have a good time."
Several local soccer coaches and players were on hand to administer the event and teach the attendees, including several members of Binghamton University's club women's soccer team.
"It's like you're coaching but also learning," said Gina Fahey, a member on the team and a junior majoring in mathematics. "I got to play with Andi a little bit so far, and I wanted to do well to impress her, but the kids were also being coached."
The Greater Binghamton Sports Complex, located in the town of Union, is the largest air-supported dome structure in the country. It was opened in 2005 and has space for a full-size soccer field inside. The facility has previously hosted clinics led by other USWNT players, including Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, Shannon Boxx and Sydney Leroux.
"I think this facility is incredible," Sullivan said. "I'm from Virginia, and it gets cold, and we don't really have a lot of big spaces to play, so I wish I had something like this, but I would try to go to a day camp every time I could, or play pickup every time I could. I think to have this space and to be someone that the players can interact with and look up to is very cool."
Lavelle made her USWNT debut during the team's victory tour after winning the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and played in her first World Cup last summer. Including her goal in the final, she scored three times throughout the event and was awarded the Bronze Ball as the third-best player in the tournament. Sullivan first joined the team in a 2016 international friendly against Switzerland, and was part of the team's camp roster for the latest World Cup.
"When we were coming onto the team, we came on at a really cool time because there were a lot of new players coming on the team, but also a lot of veteran, older players that we got to learn from," Lavelle said. "I feel like we've gotten the privilege to learn from the best, and they've set such a good example for us, so we kind of know what's expected of us when we're in this role, and it's been great."
At 24 years old, Lavelle is expected to be a standout in the USWNT for years to come. With several players nearing retirement age, an opportunity exists for her, among others, to become a household name on the world's top international soccer team.
"It's great to see how many people have supported us through this journey," Lavelle said. "I think we always know that there's people that are watching our games and are big fans, but then to be able to come to something like this and see that support and love for the team firsthand, it's so special because I feel like you realize how impactful it is and how much our team means to people."

Nghe An people call for end of illegal wildlife farming
Hanoi (VNA) - Results of a survey by EVN with 1,111 people living in Nghe An show that over 96% of respondents want to stop illegal wildlife trade.
Talking to VietnamPlus Electronic Newspaper on May 26, a representative of the Education for Nature Vietnam (ENV) said more than 1,000 respondents in Nghe An province have expressed their wish that the local government should conduct a serious fight to end the illegal wildlife trade and farming.
The survey was conducted by ENV at the end of 2020 by collecting opinions from 1,111 people living in Nghe An. The results showed that more than 96% of people answering the survey expressed their desire to end the illegal wildlife trade in their locality.
In addition, nearly 97% of the interviewees called on local authorities to have a fair and strict handling of violators of the laws on illegal wildlife trade. There should be no exceptions in this matter, they stressed.
According to ENV, Nghe An has been considered a "hotspot" for illegal wildlife trade for many years, especially in the districts of Yen Thanh, Dien Chau and Quynh Luu.
The illegal wildlife trade in these localities is increasingly complicated with traffickers there being very venturesome and dangerous. However, local authorities have not yet found an effective solution to this matter. Statistics show that within 10 years (2010-2020), about 23% of the total of nearly 800 people convicted of wildlife crimes across the country were from Nghe An or Ha Tinh.
Illegal tiger farming, which has been reported many times by domestic and international press, still continues in Yen Thanh, Dien Chau and Quynh Luu districts. In an effort to stop the illegal farming, the People's Committee of Nghe An province in March 2021 issued and sent an urgent dispatch to the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Provincial Police, and the People's Committees of Yen Thanh, Dien Chau and Quynh Luu districts. The dispatch asks the relevant quarters to directly take part in handling illegal farming of wild animals and strictly handle those who illegally trade, store and transport wild animals.

ENV's deputy Director Bui Thi Ha said ENV highly appreciates the new direction of the Nghe An People's Committee which aims to completely handle the tiger captive breeding as well as illegal farming of other wildlife animals. However, so far, ENV has not seen any positive signs of change in the province as the problem of captive breeding and illegal wildlife trade is still complicated in the above-said districts.
In such a context, ENV recommended that Nghe An province develop a specific action plan and then implement the plan extensively and sustainably to eliminate the violations.
ENV also suggested that the Ministry of Public Security should establish its own special projects and invest more time and efforts to find out who is behind illegal wildlife breeding and trafficking in Nghe An province, and at the same time, strictly punish violators.
"It is time for all sectors and governments of all levels to listen to people's aspirations and take action to thoroughly handle the situation of illegal captive breeding and wildlife trade in the districts of Nghe An province. Only when the criminal networks and their leaders are arrested, prosecuted and jailed can these networks be dismantled, making real changes in the fight against wildlife-related crimes," the ENV deputy director stressed.
Wildlife-related crimes are considered serious, with convicted criminals now facing higher penalties and longer prison sentences in accordance with amendments to the 2015 Penal Code adopted by the National Assembly in 2017. Violators may face up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to 15 billion VND (650,000 USD), with penalties rising in line with the quantity of wildlife trafficked.
Vietnam is among the signatories to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, the 1989 Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification. The country has also stepped up bilateral and multilateral cooperation on wildlife conservation, for example signing an agreement with South Africa in 2012 to put an end to the illegal trade of rhinoceros' horn./.

We also get to hear a brief clip of Timon and Pumbaa, the warthog and meercat buddies that Simba meets later on in the film. They are voiced by Billy Eichner and Vancouverite Seth Rogen.

In this blog, we'll answer the question on everyone's mind: "Is there garbage pickup on Columbus Day?"
Table of Contents
Is There Garbage Pickup on Columbus Day 2023?
The answer to whether there will be garbage pickup on Columbus Day in 2023 depends on your local waste management and recycling service provider. Policies regarding garbage pickup on holidays can vary from one place to another, so it's essential to check with your specific provider for accurate information.
Garbage Pickup Policies
- Federal Holiday Observance: Columbus Day is a federal holiday, and many government offices, schools, and banks are closed. However, not all businesses and institutions observe it. Similarly, not all waste management companies follow the same holiday schedule.
- Local Government Decisions: Local municipalities and city governments may choose to continue garbage pickup services on Columbus Day, especially in larger cities where services need to be maintained to keep the city clean.
- Waste Management Companies: Private waste management companies determine their own policies regarding holiday schedules. Some may continue collecting trash and recycling as usual on Columbus Day, while others may take the day off.
- Special Schedules: In some areas, waste management companies may operate on a modified schedule during holidays like Columbus Day. They might pick up garbage and recycling on the day after the holiday or rearrange the collection days for that week.
Contact Your Local Service Provider
The best way to know if there will be garbage pickup on Columbus Day in your area is to contact your local waste management or recycling service provider. They will have the most up-to-date information on their holiday schedule and can provide you with specific details about your area.
In conclusion, whether there will be garbage pickup on Columbus Day in 2023 depends on your location and the policies of your local waste management service provider. To get accurate information regarding their holiday schedule, it's recommended to reach out to your provider. This way, you can ensure that your waste disposal plans align with their holiday schedule, making your Columbus Day as stress-free as possible.

In drought-hit Karnataka, villages struggle for drinking water
Harogere is one of 2,269 villages across Karnataka where water is being provided on a daily basis either through private tankers or by hiring private borewells. With 278 villages requiring such provisioning, Tumakuru district is the worst affected, official data show.
A row of plastic pots near a borewell in the middle of Harogere village of Tumakuru district, two km from the Andhra Pradesh border, tell the story of a drought in Karnataka.
Water supply has been patchy from the four public borewells in Harogere, dependent on electricity supply. Anxious residents wait in the shade of a large tree nearby, hoping to catch every last drop of water from the borewell when the electricity supply comes back on.
"On average we get four pots of water per household a day through some of the existing borewells here," said Manjunath, a 31-year-old farmer. "We have to approach farmers who still get water from their borewells," he said.
The government says the model code of conduct for the general elections had prevented launching full scaled relief operations.
Harogere is one of 2,269 villages across the state where water is being provided on a daily basis either through private tankers or by hiring private borewells. With 278 villages requiring such provisioning, Tumakuru district is the worst affected, official data show.
In Karnataka, which has the second highest extent of dry land after Rajasthan, villages like Harogere are left at the deal with the vagaries of the monsoon. Kallambella hobli (cluster of villages), where Harogere is located, received "deficient" rains in the southwest monsoon, recording a 29% shortfall over the long period average. This was compounded by the deficit during the northeast monsoon, which was 46%.
As a result, the lakes in the area dried up and people were left to exploit borewells as the only source of drinking water. With the increase in pressure on groundwater many borewells went dry.
Desperate to provide some immediate succour, the district administration decided to dig more borewells in the village. "Over the past month, four borewells have been dug in the village and only one of these yielded water, albeit a very limited amount," said Manjunath, who belongs to the Lingayat sect.
As this effort failed, in stepped the "Doctor", who villagers say provided what the state could not. They were referring to BT Chandrashekhar Gowda, a JD(S) worker and Vokkaliga leader of the village.
A doctor by profession, Gowda left his practice two years ago as his memory was failing him and took to growing pomegranates and areca nut on his three-acre agricultural plot. From his functional borewell he set up two connections, one to his house and one to the Dalit "colony", through which he provides drinking water to everybody in the village.
"The administration is trying its best but hasn't been very successful in providing water. Since my borewell is functional I have chipped in to aid the people here," Dr Gowda said.
However, where such benevolence is not on offer, caste-based hierarchy has ensured that access to water is fraught with the possibility of humiliation on a daily basis. Neighbouring Harogere is Beeranahalli village, which is also located on the border. However, unlike Harogere, Beeranahalli doesn't have a bus service and other amenities.
This neglect, said 61-year-old Kadirappa, who hails from a Scheduled Caste community, extended to the failure of the administration to even do the bare minimum of digging borewells like it had done in Harogere.
"We will be very grateful if we are allowed to become a part of Andhra Pradesh because we have received nothing from Karnataka," Kadirappa said. "Every day we have to beg rich farmers who have functional borewells for water, putting up with the insults they hurl at us," he said.
Across Beeranahalli residents say they have seen the services people in Andhra Pradesh receive. "Everything is delivered to their homes across the border," said Naganna, a Vokkaliga farmer.
Tumakuru deputy commissioner K Rakesh Kumar concedes there might have been some lapses in the provision of drinking water. He said the problem was being addressed on a war footing, with water being provided through tankers where private borewells could not be hired. However, these measures had limited impact as "day by day the yield in borewells was going down, mainly because these are borewells that have already gone to depth of 900 ft".
Everything was oriented towards dealing with the immediate crisis. "In the long term we have to look for surface water. Right now, though, we have to concentrate on getting through May and hopefully the monsoon will be kinder this year," he said.
With the model code of conduct in place for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, the state government has been unable to supervise the relief efforts. State rural development minister Krishna Byregowda said the government had spent ₹2500 crore over the past year and another ₹450 crore had been released before May for emergency relief.
"We are unable to review the implementation because the Election Commission did not grant us permission to do so. However, earlier this week the ECI revised its order and has allowed us to review implementation," Byregowda said. He was referring to the cancellation of a review meeting on April 27, though polling in the state had concluded on April 23.
In the long term, Byregowda said, the state and society would have to consider the impact of climate change. "It is a problem that needs to be tackled by everybody, the central and state governments and the people," he said.
