The birthday sparklers are a bit harder to come by now as the old sellers change their product lines. I get them online from an unusual seller because they are a Rare Commodity at my house now
This picture is taken when we met some of the locals in the village by the riverbank by the Mekong River. This is puffed rice, which was some of the products the locals made from rice. As rice is the locals main commodity, they have developed many different ways of exploiting the rice for different purposes.

July 14, 2012: Clear Lake - Riding Mountain National Park, Manitoba, Canada
I grew up in Manitoba - the keystone province of Canada. Manitoba has a land mass of 261,000 sq miles with 49,000 of that being fresh water in it's rivers but mostly in it's 100,000 lakes. Great Britain, in comparison, has a land mass of 93,800 sq miles and 650 of that being fresh water from lakes and rivers. One day the world will come begging for fresh water from Manitoba. (that's an insider tip) ;-]

Chicago, officially the City of Chicago, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Illinois, and the third-most-populous city in the United States. With an estimated population of 2,705,994 (2018), it is also the most populous city in the Midwestern United States. Chicago is the county seat of Cook County, the second-most-populous county in the US, with a small portion of the northwest side of the city extending into DuPage County near O'Hare Airport. Chicago is the principal city of the Chicago metropolitan area, often referred to as Chicagoland. At nearly 10 million people, the metropolitan area is the third most populous in the United States.
Located on the shores of freshwater Lake Michigan, Chicago was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-19th century. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, which destroyed several square miles and left more than 100,000 homeless, the city made a concerted effort to rebuild. The construction boom accelerated population growth throughout the following decades, and by 1900, less than 30 years after the great fire, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world. Chicago made noted contributions to urban planning and zoning standards, including new construction styles (including the Chicago School of architecture), the development of the City Beautiful Movement, and the steel-framed skyscraper.
Chicago is an international hub for finance, culture, commerce, industry, education, technology, telecommunications, and transportation. It is the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts, issued by the Chicago Board of Trade, which today is the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world, generating 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures alone. Depending on the particular year, the city's O'Hare International Airport is routinely ranked as the world's fifth or sixth busiest airport according to tracked data by the Airports Council International. The region also has the largest number of federal highways and is the nation's railroad hub. Chicago was listed as an alpha global city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network, and it ranked seventh in the entire world in the 2017 Global Cities Index. The Chicago area has one of the highest gross domestic products (GDP) in the world, generating $689 billion in 2018. In addition, the city has one of the world's most diversified and balanced economies, with no single industry employing more than 14% of the workforce. Chicago is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Allstate, Boeing, Caterpillar, Exelon, Kraft Heinz, McDonald's, Mondelez International, Sears, United Airlines Holdings, and Walgreens.
Chicago's 58 million domestic and international visitors in 2018 made it the second most visited city in the nation, as compared with New York City's 65 million visitors in 2018. The city was ranked first in the 2018 Time Out City Life Index, a global quality of life survey of 15,000 people in 32 cities. Landmarks in the city include Millennium Park, Navy Pier, the Magnificent Mile, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Campus, the Willis (Sears) Tower, Grant Park, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Lincoln Park Zoo. Chicago's culture includes the visual arts, literature, film, theatre, comedy (especially improvisational comedy), food, and music, particularly jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, gospel, and electronic dance music including house music. Of the area's many colleges and universities, the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the University of Illinois at Chicago are classified as "highest research" doctoral universities. Chicago has professional sports teams in each of the major professional leagues, including two Major League Baseball teams.

875 North Michigan Avenue, formerly the John Hancock Center, is a 100-story, 1,128-foot supertall skyscraper located in Chicago, Illinois. Located in the Magnificent Mile district, its name was changed to 875 North Michigan Avenue on February 12, 2018.
It was constructed under the supervision of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, with Peruvian-American chief designer Bruce Graham and Bangladeshi structural engineer Fazlur Rahman Khan. When the building topped out on May 6, 1968, it was the second-tallest building in the world and the tallest outside New York City. It is currently the fourth-tallest building in Chicago and the ninth-tallest in the United States, after One World Trade Center, the Willis Tower, 432 Park Avenue, the Trump Tower Chicago, the Empire State Building, the Bank of America Tower, 30 Hudson Yards and the Aon Center. When measured to the top of its antenna masts, it stands at 1,500 feet (457 m). The building is home to several offices and restaurants, as well as about 700 condominiums. It also contains the third-highest residence in the world, after the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Trump Tower in Chicago. The building was named for John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, a developer and original tenant of the building. In 2018, John Hancock Insurance requested that its name be removed and the owner is seeking another naming rights deal.
From the 95th floor restaurant, diners can look out at Chicago and Lake Michigan. The observatory (360 Chicago), which competes with the Willis Tower's Skydeck, has a 360° view of the city, up to four states, and a distance of over 80 miles (130 km). 360 Chicago is home to TILT, a moving platform that leans visitors over the edge of the skyscraper to a 30-degree angle, a full bar with local selections, Chicago's only open-air SkyWalk, and also features free interactive high definition touch screens in six languages. The 44th-floor sky lobby features America's highest indoor swimming pool.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chasing Commodities concludes “Globalization: Response & Responsibilty” Series
San Francisco, CA – November 2008 - Photos taken of sisal, cotton, seaweed and coffee farms and factories will be showing in an exhibit entitled “Chasing Commodities” at the I-Hotel Manilatown Center in San Francisco. Documented in Tanzania, India and Mexico the photos tell the stories of communities struggling in the global economy. This will conclude the 2008 series on “Globalization: Response and Responsibilty” presented by the Manilatown Heritage Foundation.
In every corner of the world there is a story about how the local community is suffering from the global economy. Documentary photographer and community organizer, Angela Angel followed just a few of these communities and found hundreds of untold stories: sisal farming growing rapidly for fiber optics in the technology industry, the plight of Indian cotton farmers who have committed suicide by the thousands because of farm monopolies and bio-piracy, seaweed grown in Zanzibar strictly for export and shipped to Asia and finally, the coffee industry that begins in Africa and Central America and is dictated by world market prices.
From 2006 to 2007 Angel set out on a global exposure trip to find answers for the disconnections between the consumer and the producer, from the local to the global: “We always talk about this entity that is ‘larger than ourselves.’ That is what I had set out to see. Really, you don’t have to travel to find the truth but there is much that we are being lied to about—how globalization has come to be for humanity and the earth and how communities are trying to deal. There is much disconnect from the food we consume and how it gets to the table. This is a glimpse into the local realities of the earth that produces these raw materials, of the farmers and the choices they have to make and of the systems that turn them into cash crops for our benefit in this global economy, other wise known as, commodification.”
Opening Reception for the exhibit is on December 12, 2008 from 5pm to 9pm at the I-Hotel Manilatown Center. The reception will also include a program from traveling activists Yoreb Ku Ba and Jean Melesaine of Debug in Brazil on Hip-Hop Semana & Quilombo, Vicente Garcia and Cory Aguilar of H.O.M.E.Y. & HUAXTEC in Guatemala on Los Desaparacidos & HIJOS and Erica Benton of Famoksaiyan in Guahan on the Chamoru Cultural Center.
Chasing Commodities will be showing at the I-Hotel Manilatown Center from December 12, 2008 to January 10, 2009.
