Abstract: Systems and methods create a display of commodity purchasers offering the highest net commodity price for a commodity, the net price taking into account the actual transportation and storage costs of the commodity seller for a transaction. In one implementation, the method includes receiving a type of commodity, a storage cost per bushel for the type of commodity, and a transportation cost per bushel for the type of commodity and identifying commodity purchasers for the type of commodity. The method further includes retrieving basis data for the type of commodity for each of the commodity purchasers, the basis data including at least a basis for multiple transaction periods.

Abstract: A transparent bowl includes non-slip means and spoon-assisted food conglomeration means. Non-slip means may include a weight structure, a non-slip material affixed to the bowl bottom either substantially continuously covering the bottom or substantially discontinuously covering the bottom, using magnetic materials, or a suction cup. Spoon-assisted food conglomeration means may include a sloped bottom, a substantially spoon-shaped locus, a steep rim, or an inward-curving rim. The transparent bowl may further include an embedded decorative object or spillage reduction means. Spillage reduction means may include an abrupt taper terminus, a steep rim, an inward-curving rim, or a chamfered or rounded bowl vertex. The transparent bowl may further include a lid. Alternatively the bowl may comprise a sloped bottom terminating in a substantially spoon-shaped locus and further comprise non-slip means.
