The As Seen On TV incredible shrinking ‘dream hose’ is just what your lawn doctor ordered — and it’s on sale for $40

0

Can we all agree that summer is the best season? Yes? I thought so. Backyard barbecues or front lawn frolicking — it’s made for fun. And while an emerald green backdrop isn’t required for all your summer party plans, it sure does help. If you’ve crashed into one too many speedbumps to get that idyllic garden going, there’s one thing that might get you where you want to go: the Pocket Hose Copper Bullet Expandable Garden Hose. If you happened to catch the commercial for this As Seen On TV fave when you were dozing off, now’s your chance to get it on sale.

Amazon

Puncture-resistant? Tangle-proof? No kinks? Meet your garden’s new best friend. 

$40 at Amazon

Anytime a gizmo can knock off effort from a chore, we consider it a good buy, but this one comes with a discount. Not only will you save more than a few bucks on it, you’ll save yourself some time and headaches so you can enjoy your summer, too.

This bad boy is what your parched garden is begging for. The most notable feature on this magical hose is how it expands when you need to do your watering and it contracts when it’s time to put it away. According to its inventor, “It stretches and expands like a rubber band and when you turn off the water away it goes shrinking and squeezing that water out until it’s practically bone dry.”

How does it do all that? Well, this hose has three layers of heavy-duty latex on the inside — that makes it both stretchy and puncture-resistant. To reinforce its strength, it’s then wrapped in a polymer filament like hoses used by firefighters. On top of all that, it’s infused with real copper — the brand says it keeps your water clean and lead-free. If you grew up drinking water from a hose (Gen Xers, we’re looking at you) rather than an emotional support water bottle, this is definitely a bonus.

In addition to the hose, this deal comes with a fancy sprayer. It has ten unique settings so you can give your lawn a spray and your precious petals a good misting. Concerned about water pressure? You can adjust it with the easy-to-use thumb wheel.

Amazon gardeners are in awe of this hose.

“I love this hose,” said a fan. “It is perfect in every way. My old hose was such a pain really long and heavy and tangles etc etc. so hard to wrap around the hose holder etc, this one is so light and easy and [has] no tangles. The sprayers all work really great too. I will never use any other kind of hose again. LOVE THIS HOSE! I was going to buy the 50ft hose but didn’t need to, this one stretches a long way.”

“Since I spend a lot of time in my yard with my plants, I needed a hose that doesn’t make my job harder,” wrote another rave reviewer. “I wanted a lightweight hose that is easy to put away. This hose did that and much more. The hose itself is easy to maneuver around rocks & other obstacles in my yard. As I feel less tired than usual and have a sense of accomplishment using it, I can declare this my dream hose. This hose made my yard work so much easier. I’m actually looking forward to watering my thirsty plants in the future!”

Some shoppers say the hose might need a little bit of care when you put it away.

“I was really glad to order this hose,” a landscaping shopper shared. “The only comment I would make is that it doesn’t wind up nicely and neatly like the picture. It just retracts into a pile but is easy to store in a pot or wind up on the faucet handle. We don’t have particularly high water pressure at our house, but with this hose, it really comes out hard and fast.”

“Did realize not to wind it in my crank hose feeder as it will fray a little, but love its lightweight construction,” wrote another gardener. “Need to be prepared when turning off water spigot it will shrink quickly so must have it in a clearance situation otherwise it can catch your foot or a table. The nozzle is the best on the market for sure.”

Pocket Hose

With the fancy sprayer, your thirsty lawn and sunbaked garden will thank you.

Yili’s 2023 Revenue Reaches 126.2 Billion Yuan, Leading Global Dairy Industry towards Healthy and Sustainable Development

0

HOHHOT, China, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On April 29, Yili Group released its 2023 financial report, showing a record-breaking total operating income of 126.179 billion yuan and a net profit attributable to parent company of 10.429 billion yuan. This marked 31 consecutive years of steady growth.

Yili's 2023 revenue reaches 126.2 billion yuan, leading global dairy industry towards healthy and sustainable development.
Yili’s 2023 revenue reaches 126.2 billion yuan, leading global dairy industry towards healthy and sustainable development.

On the same day, Yili also announced a plan to repurchase shares worth no less than 1 billion yuan but no more than 2 billion yuan. These shares will be entirely canceled to reduce the company’s registered capital.

During the reporting period, Yili’s entire range of products remained industry-leading. Its liquid milk business generated an operating income of 85.54 billion yuan, maintaining its top position in both scale and market share. The milk powder and dairy products recorded 27.598 billion yuan in revenue, up 5.09% year on year, and overall milk powder sales rose to the top of the Chinese market. The cold beverage business generated an operating income of 10.69 billion up, up 11.72% from the previous year, far exceeding the industrial average growth rate, and retained its market leadership for the 29th consecutive year.   

Overseas business also performed well. In 2023, Yili’s overseas business income increased by 10.08% year on year, with products sold to over 60 countries and regions. Notably, Cremo and Joyday products gained significant popularity in Southeast Asia, while Joyday ice cream made a strong entry into Africa.

Yili has continuously improved and optimized its global supply chain network, achieving efficient synergy between its domestic and overseas bases. In May 2023, construction work commenced for a lactoferrin factory of Westland Dairy Company Limited, one of Yili’s subsidiaries. Once the factory is put into operation, it will be one of the top three lactoferrin producers worldwide. This capacity breakthrough is driven by innovative technological advancements that have spurred the transformation of research into tangible results.

In 2023, Yili made continuous breakthroughs in cutting-edge technologies, quickly translating these innovations into products that have set new trends in healthy consumption. One notable achievement was the development of a unique lactoferrin directional extraction and protection technology, which increased the lactoferrin retention rate in UHT milk from 10% to over 90%. Furthermore, the company solved the challenge of probiotic inactivation at ambient temperatures, creating new healthy consumption scenarios for yogurt.

With industry-leading technological capabilities as the foundation, the Group has launched bestselling new products such as the SATINE Active Lactoferrin Organic Milk and Ambpomial AMX Probiotic Yogurt, providing the company with new growth drivers.

These innovative achievements stem from the company’s long-term investment in technology. Recently, on the tenth anniversary of the Yili European Innovation Center, the center’s upgrade and the establishment of the Global Maternal and Child Nutrition Research Center were celebrated at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. Since its inception, the center has achieved remarkable results in areas like breast milk research, probiotics development, and innovative processes and technologies. Going forward, the center will focus on cutting-edge global dairy technologies to accelerate the application and commercialization of innovative results.

As an industry leader, Yili is not only achieving steady business growth but also emphasizing a sustainable future. The company actively promotes green and sustainable development, contributes to environmental protection and public welfare, and strives to create a win-win situation in economic, social, and environmental benefits.

PARIS, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On the evening of May 4, the “Sino-French Gastronomy Carnival” began along the Seine River in Paris, France. This carnival was supported by the Chinese Embassy in France and the World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry and is one of the highlights of the 2024 Sino-French exquisite cultural exchange activities. It featured French and Chinese culinary displays, culinary cultural exchanges, and artistic performances, and was attended by over 70 important guests from the cultural and culinary fields of both China and France. The “Charm of Jiangsu” food culture exchange exhibition, brought by the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, impressed the locals.

Jiangsu Province is home to a rich historical legacy, and its unique culinary culture has become a significant representation of Chinese culture on the international stage. In 2019 and 2021, UNESCO recognized Yangzhou and Huai’an as Cities of gastronomy. Additionally, UNESCO put “Chinese Traditional Tea-making Techniques and Related Customs”, which includes Suzhou Biluochun Tea, Nanjing Yuhua Tea, and Yangzhou Fuchun Tea Snacks Production Techniques, on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2022.

At the event, the French guests were greatly impressed by Jiangsu’s Biluochun green tea. They appreciated its rich aroma, deep cultural significance, and the exquisite traditional tea-making techniques used to produce it. The Jiangsu-style tea snacks provided by the Overseas Practice Base of Yangzhou University’s School of Tourism and Culinary Arts also offered the guests a delightful combination of flavors. Additionally, the micro-documentary series “Jiangsu Culture” highlighted Huaiyang Cuisine, while the tea-themed travel guide “Jiangsu Glimpses” showcased Jiangsu’s culinary and tea culture through a diverse range of visual images and multiple languages.

Jiangsu is a well-known tea region and a center of tea culture in China. In recent years, it has organized various events to promote tea globally. These events include themed promotions such as “Tea and the World” and “Tea and the World: Elegant Gathering in Jiangsu“. This year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, and the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism plans to continue using food and culture as bridges to promote cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between two countries. It will also continue to showcase the charm of Jiangsu globally.

Peng’an county embraces modern tech to foster industries

NANCHONG, China, May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — When walking into the factory of auto parts maker Bosa in Peng’an county, Sichuan province, people must be amazed by how efficiently robots weld on the production line.

Staff members work at the factory of Bosa in Peng'an, Sichuan province

The company has established a modular automated production line, with its products supplied to domestic leading car manufacturers, said a representative from Bosa.

“In terms of productivity, one welding robot is comparable to four proficient welders and unaffected by physical conditions. The weld joints are smooth and beautiful,” the representative said.

A similar scene can be observed at Wangda Feed in Peng’an. The company is employing smart robotic arms to stack bags of feed, which are then transported to the finished items area by forklifts.

“Previously there were 25 workers in the workshop, but now only seven people are required to complete all the tasks,” said a staff member from the company.

With up-to-date feed processing equipment, Wangda has formed a fully automated production chain from the input of raw materials, blending and grinding to outputs and bagging.

It has also established a national-level technology center and obtained 10 invention patents and 24 utility patents.

Over the past few years, Peng’an has launched several programs to foster its industry sector, leading to the increasing added value of industrial enterprises above designated size and more investment in manufacturing industries.

Local officials said the county will focus on the emerging industries and the trends of industrial development, endeavoring to grasp the opportunities in the new round of industrial transformation.

“We will pour more resources into our major industries such as agricultural products processing, energy, and auto parts; and promote the integrated development of traditional industries, emerging industries and future industries,” local officials said.

As a key agricultural county in Nanchong city, Peng’an has set ambitious goals for this year, including a planting area of 1.204 million mu (80,266.67 hectares) for grains, beans and oilseeds, and a total output of 383,700 metric tons.

Currently, there are more than 30 agricultural product processing enterprises and five major agricultural industrial parks in Peng’an.

To support the development of modern agriculture, local authorities offer farmers training courses, while they organize a volunteer group during the busy seasons to help farmers.

“Besides farmers with vast cropland, we also assist small farmers when they face labor shortages,” said Li Yuejun, Party secretary of Shaba village in Pingtou township, Peng’an.

Situated along the Jialing River, the county is a popular tourism destination among residents in neighboring regions. Official data showed that it received 9.2 million tourists in 2023.

The Xiangru Ancient Town, a city-level 4A attraction in Peng’an, is considered the birthplace of the poet and musician Sima Xiangru (179-118 BC).

The town covers a total area of some 13,000 square meters and has five historical blocks, 50 characteristic ancient courtyards and 100 miniature museums.

During the May Day holiday from May 1-5, the scenic spot provided visitors with night tours as well as a variety of folk performances and light shows.

“Peng’an is a charming place with picturesque scenery and profound historical and cultural heritage. Every time I come, I have different experiences and feelings,” said Yuan Chengwu, a tourist from Bazhong city, Sichuan province.
