Every kid is one caring adult from a success story - YMCA

Jordan Neely [had] 42 prior arrests to his credit while still walking around as a free man**** After all, if fracturing an old woman’s nose and eye socket, exposing your genitalia to women, repeated heavy drug use, and an assortment of other repeated crimes don’t keep you in jail, what will? So, when that criminal stepped onto the New York subway on May 3 of last year and began, per witnesses, “ranting insanely,” claiming that someone was going to die that day and that he did not mind going back to prison, the passengers were understandably terrified. Some prayed. Some tried to hide. Others tried to avoid eye contact.*** Greg Salsbury

Andre Zachary, Neely's father, is suing to obtain money from Neely's death. But where was he when Neely needed a caring adult?

Abundant Life Christian School shooting

A 15-year-old girl shot eight people at her school on Monday around 1100 in Madison, Wisconsin. Two died, and she apparently killed herself. A 2d grader called 911 to report the murders.

John 10 quotes Jesus saying

9 I am the door; a man will find salvation if he makes his way in through me; he will come and go at will, and find pasture. 10 The thief only comes to steal, to slaughter, to destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.

A California man has been detained and had his guns seized after allegedly texting Wisconsin school shooter Natalie Rupnow about his plans to blow up a government building. Alexander Paffendorf, 20, was issued a gun-violence restraining order and detained by FBI agents after he was accused of messaging the 15-year-old shooter around the time of her attack on the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison on Monday. The Carlsbad resident allegedly told Rupnow that he “would arm himself with explosives and a gun and that he would target a government building,” according to a two-page restraining order obtained by CBS 8. How Paffendorf and Rupnow knew each other is not immediately clear. The FBI declined to comment.***

River Page notes

Ketanji Brown Jackson became the first Supreme Court justice to star in a Broadway musical this week, when she had a cameo in & Juliet, a “queer” retelling of Shakespeare’s classic in which Juliet decides not to kill herself and instead runs off to Paris with a nonbinary character. Supreme Court justices serve for life, which probably makes KBJ the most job-secure theater kid to have ever lived. Next time, we want to hear her sing.

More on the judicial front: Polling from Gallup, released yesterday, shows that Americans’ confidence in their country’s judicial system dropped to a record low of 35 percent this year. In the past four years, it’s dropped 24 percentage points. It’s almost as if political prosecutions are a terrible way to repair trust in the judicial system.

Three people have been confirmed dead following a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin, including a teacher, a student, and the shooter, Natalie “Samantha” Rupnow, a 15-year-old girl who attended the school and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Six others were injured. Madison mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway bristled at the idea that reporters would want information on the victims, saying in a press conference it was “none of y’all’s business” who was killed in the shooting. A purported manifesto has been circulating online, though police say that they cannot confirm its authenticity and are working to determine a motive.

In 2020, the average American city experienced a homicide rate spike of around 30 percent. Some have claimed that the rise was caused by a “police pullback” following the death of George Floyd in May of that year. But new research from the Brookings Institute suggests that murder rates were already rising and that Covid policies, which left young, poor men unemployed and out of school, might have had more to do with it.

More than $140,000 has been crowdfunded for the legal defense of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan earlier this month. The funds are unsolicited, and Mangione’s lawyer has said he would “probably” not accept money from donors. But it’s the latest sign of the disturbing affection so many clearly have for the alleged killer. Meanwhile, a new Emerson College poll found that 41 percent of respondents under 30 find the shooting of Thompson “acceptable.”***

Total dirtbag -

A grand jury in Salt Lake City returned an indictment today charging Special Agent David Cole of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), 50, of South Jordan, Utah, with conspiring with another HSI special agent to sell alpha-PHP, a drug commonly referred to as “bath salts,” in Utah. According to court documents, Cole and another HSI special agent used their status as federal law enforcement officers to acquire bath salts by representing to others in HSI and in other law enforcement agencies that they were going to use the bath salts to conduct legitimate HSI investigations. Cole and his co-conspirator then sold bath salts to HSI confidential human sources for thousands of dollars and allowed those sources to resell the bath salts on the streets of Utah for a profit. Cole and his co-conspirator profited hundreds of thousands of dollars through their illegal drug sales.***

Good news: effective law enforcement in NYC

Bad news: it's China

Chen Jinping, 60, of New York, New York, pleaded guilty today to conspiring to act as an illegal agent of the government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), in connection with opening and operating an undeclared overseas police station, located in lower Manhattan, for the PRC’s Ministry of Public Security (MPS).*** As alleged, Chen Jinping and co-defendant “Harry” Lu Jianwang conspired to act as illegal agents of the PRC government and also obstructed justice by destroying evidence of their communications with an MPS official. While acting under the direction and control of the MPS official, the defendants worked together to establish the first known overseas police station in the United States on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the MPS. The police station — which closed in the fall of 2022 — occupied an entire floor in an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Lu and Chen helped open and operate the clandestine police station. None of the participants in the scheme informed the U.S. government that they were helping the PRC government surreptitiously open and operate an undeclared MPS police station on U.S. soil. In October 2022, the FBI conducted a judicially authorized search of the illegal police station. In connection with the search, FBI agents interviewed both defendants and seized their phones. In reviewing the contents of these phones, FBI agents observed that communications between the defendants and an MPS official appeared to have been deleted. In subsequent consensual interviews, the defendants admitted to the FBI that they had deleted their communications with the MPS official after learning about the ongoing FBI investigation, thus preventing the FBI from learning the full extent of the MPS’s directions for the overseas police station. Chen faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Per Chen’s plea agreement, the government has agreed to dismiss the obstruction of justice charge against him. Lu has pleaded not guilty to both of the charges against him and is awaiting trial.***

Should have to breathe diesel exhaust

Louisiana-based company Power Performance Enterprises Inc. (PPEI) and its president and owner, Kory B. Willis, were sentenced yesterday in federal court in Sacramento, California, for violating and conspiring to violate the Clean Air Act by tampering with the monitoring devices of emissions control systems of diesel trucks. U.S. District Court Judge John A. Mendez for the Eastern District of California sentenced Willis to serve 10 months of home confinement as part of a three-year term of probation and ordered Willis and PPEI to jointly pay $1.55 million in criminal fines. PPEI was ordered to complete a five-year term of probation. Willis and PPEI pleaded guilty in March 2022. In total, Willis and PPEI have been ordered to pay $3.1 million in criminal fines and civil penalties related to Clean Air Act enforcement.*** Willis and PPEI reached the top of the illegal delete tuning market, tuning over 175,000 vehicles according to Willis. Willis also stated that PPEI was the biggest custom tuning company in the world, servicing over 100,000 customers and tuning more than 500 vehicles a week. According to internal PPEI records, PPEI typically sold well over $1 million dollars of product per month. According to calculations by the EPA, the estimated emissions impact of PPEI’s sales of delete tunes between 2013 and 2018 alone are expected to cause over 100 million excess pounds of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions over the life of the diesel trucks equipped with those products. Deleting a diesel truck causes its emissions to increase dramatically. For example, for a fully deleted truck, which has had all emissions equipment removed or disabled, EPA testing quantified the increased emissions as follows: NOx increased 310 times, non-methane hydrocarbons increased 1,400 times, carbon monoxide increased 120 times and particulate matter increased 40 times. EPA’s Air Enforcement Division released a report in November 2020 finding that more than half a million diesel pickup trucks in the United States — approximately 15% of U.S. diesel trucks that were originally certified with emissions controls — have been illegally deleted.***

Good - some accountability for violating mores

CNN — The House Ethics Committee secretly voted earlier this month to release its report into the conduct of former Rep. Matt Gaetz before the end of this Congress, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter. The report is now expected to be made public after the House’s final day of votes this year as lawmakers leave Washington for the holidays, those sources said. The vote, which has not previously been reported, amounts to a stark reversal for the panel after it had voted along party lines in late November not to release the results of the investigation. The decision to release the report suggests that some Republicans ultimately decided to side with Democrats on the matter, and it is unclear if the committee will once again change course now that it has voted.***

La iniciativa busca brindar mayor seguridad a los peatones, ciclistas y conductores de motocicletas. Si quiere conocer más detalles al respecto, ingrese aquí Con el propósito de proteger a los transeúntes, peatones, ciclistas y conductores de vehículos pequeños, la ciudad de Madison se unió a la iniciativa que busca reducir el límite de velocidad a 20 millas por hora. La medida solo aplicaría en calles locales de los barrios y no en las vías más grandes y concurridas. La idea está enmarcada en el programa 20 is plenty desarrollado para garantizar la seguridad vial. De acuerdo a la Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en las Carreteras, las muertes de los peatones en Estados Unidos aumentaron un 84% entre 2009 y 2022, cifras que encienden las alertas de las autoridades y llevan a la creación de iniciativas como 20 is plenty. Al respecto, la alcaldesa Satya Rhodes – Conway explicó que la investigación es clara, “reducir el límite de velocidad es más seguro para los residentes y hace que nuestros vecindarios sean más habitables. 20 millas por hora es suficiente en nuestras calles locales. Esta es una medida de sentido común, ampliamente apoyada por la comunidad”. La iniciativa de disminuir la velocidad responde a una serie de necesidades y evidencias en el momento de maniobrar frente a determinada situación. De acuerdo a una explicación de Toole Design, cuando un conductor maneja a más velocidad, tiene menor campo de visión. Por ejemplo si va a 40 mph el campo es de 305° mientras que si conduce a 20 mph puede observar a 115°. Igualmente, la posibilidad de tener lesiones graves e incluso ocasionar la muerte, se incrementa a mayor velocidad, es decir, si una persona va a 20 mph hay una posibilidad del 13%, mientras que si va a 40 la cifra surge a 73%. El frenado se dificulta más y el impacto es mucho mayor a más velocidad. Si usted quiere contribuir con la iniciativa y ayudar con el apoyo a la difusión de la información, puede enviar un correo electrónico a [email protected] y solicitar carteles para poner en el jardín de su vivienda o en las ventanas con el propósito de dar a conocer la campaña.

After a tumultuous 12 months within the housing market amid inflation and hovering rates of interest, native governments of main U.S. cities are dealing with a slew of financial challenges.Based on the Boston College Initiative on Cities’ 2022 Menino Survey of Mayors, which polled 118 mayors from U.S. cities with greater than 75,000 residents, housing prices are on the forefront of these challenges, with 81% of mayors indicating that the difficulty is amongst their cities' prime financial priorities.The housing market nonetheless stays unsure after mortgage costs peaked at virtually 7% in October 2022, although they've been on a rocky decline since then. In the meantime, the common month-to-month lease within the U.S. has been above $1,300 since February 2022.Among the elevated residence costs outdoors of metropolitan cities occurred after People migrated to smaller cities. For instance, between January and March this 12 months, the best variety of people transferring to Madison, Wisconsin, had been from Chicago, in keeping with Redfin. Dwelling costs in Madison have gone up 5.6% in a single 12 months."Constructing ample housing and rising housing affordability is certainly one of Madison's biggest challenges," Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, a Democrat, advised Yahoo Finance. "My administration has doubled the reasonably priced housing finances lately, however we'd like the personal sector to construct extra reasonably priced initiatives and a broader number of housing varieties, together with reasonably priced possession choices."Rhodes-Conway is not the one mayor making an attempt to deal with housing prices — Newark, New Jersey's mayor Ras J. Baraka (D) additionally advised Yahoo Finance that housing affordability stays certainly one of his greatest obstacles."Housing is a nationwide downside, and affordability is a matter each domestically and statewide," Baraka mentioned.Even supposing housing has been indicated as a precedence within the Menino survey annually, mayors rating it the highest problem got here as a shock to the survey's co-author, David Glick, who additionally serves as an affiliate professor of political science at Boston College.Story continues"I do not assume we had been stunned that lots of mayors noticed housing as a serious financial difficulty in 2022," Glick advised Yahoo Finance. "I do assume the diploma to which it stood out particularly relative to inflation was a shock." Inflation and value of dwellingA catalyst to the housing disaster is inflation. At its peak in June 2022, inflation reached 9.1%. Consequently, this has had a major influence on the price of dwelling, which was ranked the second-biggest financial problem by mayors. Price of dwelling is usually the sum of money wanted for primary bills like housing, meals, taxes, and health care.San Antonio, which is among the many prime 10 most populous cities within the U.S., requires a median annual earnings of $76,098 to afford a house. Nevertheless, the highest two most populous U.S. cities of New York and Los Angeles require greater than double that quantity.Mayors and native governments have launched neighborhood applications and laws for land use reform and funding to deal with these points, however many nonetheless haven't got as a lot management over totally different facets of their cities. Virtually 42% of the mayors mentioned that they had little management over housing prices, and greater than 65% mentioned that they had no management over inflation, in keeping with the Menino survey.Mayor Mattie Parker of Fort Price, Texas, (R) voiced a few of these issues."Fort Price residents are involved about the identical points that the majority main cities are targeted on: public security, price of dwelling, and high quality of life," Parker advised Yahoo Finance. "Like a lot of my fellow mayors, reasonably priced housing and violent crime are two points which are frequently rising to the highest."Some mayors have taken a broader method to the housing disaster in order that residents can each dwell and work there.

Mayor Farrah N. Khan's (D) administration in Irvine, California, is combating the housing disaster by partnering with nonprofits and market-rate builders to draw new companies in an effort to develop the native economic system.Housing affordability "is immediately linked to financial growth," Khan advised Yahoo Finance. "We're investing in infrastructure and public transportation to make it simpler for people to get round and entry employment alternatives. By taking a holistic method to financial growth and housing, we will be certain that Irvine stays a vibrant and inclusive neighborhood for generations to come back."PovertyPoverty was ranked the third-biggest problem by mayors.Based on the newest knowledge from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 37.9 million People — roughly 11.6% of the full inhabitants — dwelling in poverty.Poverty can also be thought-about one of many main components of homelessness, which has elevated by 16% since 2020."Household homelessness is at an all-time excessive in Fort Price and throughout the nation, and making investments in everlasting supportive housing for households is extra necessary than ever," Mayor Parker mentioned. "In simply the previous couple of years, town has dedicated greater than $26 million in housing for people experiencing homelessness, and we proceed to be dedicated to working with our public, personal, and nonprofit companions to champion wanted housing initiatives."An individual with an umbrella walks previous a homeless individual at Occasions Sq. throughout a wet day on January 19, 2023 in New York Metropolis. (Photograph by ANGELA WEISS/AFP)Equally, Mayor Baraka's metropolis of Newark has skilled continual homelessness for some time. Its newest point-in-time (PIT) census, which supplies a head depend of these with out everlasting houses, discovered that 1,914 people within the metropolis had been homeless in January 2022.Baraka's administration introduced its plans to speculate $20 million in housing for low-income households and purchase and refurbish deteriorated properties which are made obtainable at decrease costs. The purpose is to construct 3,000 new houses all through Newark's 5 wards by 2026 and likewise create or keep a minimum of 6,000 reasonably priced housing items for the lowest-income residents.“We're working to finish continual homelessness in three years by way of a complete strategic plan in collaboration with private and non-private companions, and reaching our most susceptible residents by way of low-barrier progressive housing fashions," Baraka mentioned.—Tanya is an information reporter for Yahoo Finance.

Those “Confrontational Days”: Remembering Madison’s LBGTQ+ Early Activists through Oral Histories*

By Jack Styler (he/him)

*Be advised that the clip above contains sexual language. Also, the clip above and oral histories referenced below are part of the University Archives’ LGBTQ+ Archives.

Today it’s hard to imagine any psychologist getting up before the city of Madison’s Equal Opportunity Commission and testifying that discrimination against gay people ought to be legalized because of the inherent sexuality of young boys and girls. However, as Barbara Lightner said, they lived in “the confrontational days” when the LBGTQ people of Madison had to march, organize, and band together to ward off attempts from anti-gay activists who tried to deprive them of their right not to be discriminated against.

In a post-Obergefell v. Hodges time and in a liberal bubble like the city of Madison, the fight for gay rights can sometimes seem like an afterthought. Of course, virulent anti-gay sentiments, de facto discrimination, conscious and unconscious bias against LGBTQ people still exist across the United States. However, in the city of Madison, the hometown of Tammy Baldwin, the first openly LGBTQ US Representative and Senator, which also elected its first openly LGBTQ mayor, Satya Rhodes-Conway, in 2019, it can be easy to forget those who fought to make Madison the place it is today.

The University of Wisconsin’s Oral History Program is lucky enough to house the oral histories of two such individuals: Barbara Lightner and Jess Anderson. Between Lightner’s and Anderson’s interviews, the pieces of the larger mosaic of gay life in Madison in the second half of the twentieth century come into focus. From the lesbian softball leagues to the “party hardy” crowd, who populated the earliest gay bars in Madison, Lightner’s and Anderson’s oral histories convey the vibrant, revolutionary, and sometimes dangerous nature of living as an out-LGBTQ person in Madison.

Born in 1939, Barbara Lightner came to Madison for graduate school in English Literature. But after completing her degree, she soon realized that she wanted to leave the “ivory tower” of academia for the grittier life of a community organizer. By 1980, she had become the coordinator of Madison Community United, which eventually merged with the Gay and Lesbian Center (now known as OutReach). As coordinator, Lightner led grassroots organizing campaigns and worked behind the scenes with politicians in the City of Madison and in the State Legislature to pass monumental pieces of legislation, namely the 1982 statewide anti-discrimination law and the 1983 “consenting adults” law, which legalized sex between any two consenting adults. While today the legal basis and moral reasoning behind these laws are rarely questioned, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, organizers from the right-wing “moral majority” specifically targeted liberal cities like Madison that passed the earliest legal protections of LBGTQ people.

In 1975, Madison became part of the first wave of communities around the United States to pass an ordinance that outlawed discrimination based on sexual orientation. However, in the years after, inspired by Anita Bryant’s national efforts to attack laws protecting the rights of LGBTQ people in the 1970s and 1980s, Reverend Wayne Dillabaugh, the minister of Madison’s Northport Baptist Church, began an effort from the right to repeal Madison’s anti-discrimination ordinance. For community organizers in Madison focused on gay rights like Barbara Lightner, Dillabaugh’s efforts threatened to undo the progress they had been fighting to achieve. So, they dug in. In her oral history, Barbara Lightner goes into detail explaining how Dillabaugh and the LBGTQ community pushed for control over the city of Madison. He would organize his own events, such as a God and Decency Rally including “Skydiving for Christ,” an event where born-again Christians jumped out of planes to signal their devotion to Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, the LBGTQ community began to organize at the ground level. At St. Francis House, 240 members of the LBGTQ community came together to form the United, which spearheaded the organizing efforts that eventually stopped the repeal of the anti-discrimination ordinance. As historian R. Richard Wagner notes, Madison was the first targeted city in the country to successfully stop the moral majority’s efforts to repeal anti-discrimination laws.

Roughly a decade earlier, Jess Anderson had sat in the same basement room of St. Francis House. In 1969, a group composed of exclusively gay men, including Anderson, formed the Madison Alliance for Homosexual Equality (MAHE). The group would go on to organize around Madison and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s campus. As Anderson discusses in his oral history, the group’s efforts culminated in the first national conference of gay people at Memorial Union on Thanksgiving weekend of 1971. The “Thanksgiving Conference” included workshops on strategies for coming out, sex, and a variety of other subjects, but it also became a stark illustration of the myopic view of the gay community at the time. In his oral history, Anderson talks about how all women and people of color who attended the conference boycotted the main plenary session of the conference in protest of the conference overlooking their place in the LBGTQ community. In doing so, Anderson’s story of early LBGTQ organizing gives us modern day listeners a look into how the notion of intersectionality became such a key issue within queer and gender studies.

While both Lightner and Anderson include their experiences with community organizing, their oral histories include so much more. They paint a picture of LBGTQ life in Madison, which often included fun, rowdy times. Anderson, who took part in the “party hardy” gay bar scene, talks about their importance in Madison. He says that Rodney Scheel’s bar, The Back Door, became one of the first places where LBGTQ people and allies could drink, dance, and have a good time without any awkward stares or threats of violence.

In Brittingham Park, Lightner and Anderson both recall attending Rodney Scheel’s other claim to fame, his MAGIC— Madison Area Gay Interim Committee — picnics. Lightner talks about how Brittingham Park would fill with hundreds of members of Madison’s LGBTQ community where people would meet, dance, collect signatures for petitions, listen to speeches, and drink— there was a five-dollar cover charge for unlimited beer. Perhaps more than any other stories in their oral histories, it was the days of the MAGIC picnics that Anderson and Lightner recall with the most joy.

There are many other stories in Anderson and Lightner’s oral histories that could be useful for future researchers or anyone looking to learn more about LGBTQ life in Madison, but I have found that hearing both of their personalities through their stories to be the most memorable part of listening to their oral histories. Jess Anderson speaks about his life as if he is reliving each memory in real time. His voice goes up when talks about the first time he fell in love as a working-class boy in Peoria, Illinois. His voice almost cracks when he remembers all his friends who have died from AIDS. He goes on a diatribe about the future of the soul of the United States. On the other hand, Barbara Lightner does not hold back her disgust about Reverend Dillabaugh and other anti-gay activists. She almost whispers her “hot takes” about the faults of notable Madison politicians. She recalls her days with the United with such passion that you can almost picture how persuasive and unrelenting a community organizer she was.

By listening to their histories and by hearing their personalities, Lightner and Anderson truly helped change the world. Their names may not be written in national history books like other more famous LBGTQ organizers or politicians, but they made Madison the city we all know today a reality. If not for Barbara Lightner’s efforts as a part of the United, it’s not clear that the anti-discrimination and consenting adult bills would have become law in Wisconsin. If not for Jess Anderson’s bravery and unshakable belief in himself, it’s not clear where the gay bar scene or University of Wisconsin-Madison’s gay community would be. For all that, I thank them. I encourage anyone else to check out their oral histories as a part of the University of Wisconsin’s Oral History Program.

For this article, in addition to the oral histories of Lightner and Anderson, I depended on R. Richard Wagner’s book Coming Out, Moving Forward: Wisconsin’s Recent Gay History.

Ann Corcoran of RRW blog notes:

I continue to argue that these nine contractors are the heart of America’s Open Borders movement and thus there can never be long-lasting reform of US immigration policy when these nine un-elected phony non-profits are paid by the taxpayers to work as community organizers pushing an open borders agenda.

City of Madison did not lobby Republicans

for more state revenue! After filing an open records request, citizen watchdog Bonnie Roe finds that not once did the City of Madison lobby a single Republican legislator during the last 18 months even as its $22 million budget hole became apparent. That’s important because Republicans control the purse strings in state government. In fact, the City did minimal outreach even to minority…

Flexible Garden Hoses Market Worth $1.5 Billion By 2027

The global flexible garden hoses market size is anticipated to reach USD 1.5 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2020 to 2027. A globally increasing number of families involved in lawn and gardening activities is likely to generate significant demand for gardening supplies, such as flexible garden hose, over the forecast period.

Private garden or garden in a community has many direct benefits to residents, but an auxiliary benefit of having such a naturalized landmark in the household or community. Gardening has also emerged in recent years as a scientifically proven stress reliever. There is also much attention to home gardens as a strategy to enhance household food security and nutrition. The rising number of people involved in growing organic food in their garden, especially in developed countries, is likely to create demand for gardening supplies, such as flexible garden hoses, in the coming years.

In response to covid-19 lockdown and social distancing, several local governments are encouraging people to involve in gardening and other home projects. For instance, in April 2020, Mayor of Madison Satya Rhodes-Conway released a statement regarding community gardens and covid-19. In response to Covid-19, the mayor suggested people engage in vegetable gardening, both on private land and in community gardens, as it can be a healthy outdoor activity and is a necessary source of food for many gardeners amid the pandemic. These scenarios are likely to propel the demand for gardening supplies, such as flexible garden hose, in the coming years.

By product type, the conventional hoses segment is projected to remain at the forefront in terms of share and is projected to register a notable growth rate over the forecast period. High penetration of this product is attributed to its daily usability for gardening activities. The soaker hoses are projected to expand at the highest CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period. It is known to reduce water waste by delivering the water right to the roots of fruits and vegetables.

The offline distribution channel is foreseen to remain the dominant segment over the forecast period. Several consumers prefer to buy the flexible garden hose from these stores as they can check product physically, compare them on the basis of price and quality, and can get technical assistance from skilled staff, which help them to make an informed choice. These factors are foreseen to fuel segment growth in the coming years.

Asia Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR of 5.7% over the forecast period. Growth of this regional market is attributed to growing consumers’ awareness regarding gardening and home improvement activities, coupled with budding support from the government. This, in turn, is likely to generate demand for flexible garden hose.
