Goods in transit refers to merchandise and other inventory items that have been shipped by the seller, but have ..I.. been received by the purchaser. To illustrate goods in transit, let's use the following example. Company J ships a truckload of merchandise on December 30 to Customer K, which is located 2,000 miles away. The truckload of merchandise arrives at Customer K on January 2. Between December 30 and January 2, the truckload of merchandise is goods in transit. The goods in transit requires special attention if the companies issue financial statements as of December 31. The reason is that the merchandise is the inventory of one of the two companies. However, the merchandise is not physically present at either company. One of the two companies must add the cost of the goods in transit to the cost of the inventory that it has in its possession.
The terms of the sale will indicate which company should report the goods in transit as its inventory as of December 31. If the terms are FOB shipping point, the seller (Company J) will record a December sale and receivable, and ..II.. include the goods in transit as its inventory. On December 31, Customer K is the owner of the goods in transit and will need to report a purchase, a payable, and must add the cost of the goods in transit to the cost of the inventory which is in its possession.
If the terms of the sale are FOB destination, Company J will not have a sale and receivable until January 2. This means Company J must report the cost of the goods in transit in its inventory on December 31. (Customer K will not have a purchase, payable, or inventory of these goods until January 2.)

Using analysis, we can feel confident in the spatial patterns we see, and in the decisions that we make.
Putting your data on a map is an important first step for finding patterns and understanding trends. Here we’re looking at crimes that happened in San Francisco, about 37,000 of them. Looking at the points on a map, can you find the clusters or patterns in this point data? Can you decide where the police department should allocate its resources? Just looking at points on a map is often not enough to answer questions or make decisions using this kind of point data. That’s where the spatial analysis tools in ArcGIS come in.
We’ve all seen heat maps on TV or in web application-beautiful maps that show high-density areas in bright red, and low-density areas in blue. These maps are used to visualize crime, disease, and a whole host of other types of data and information. These heat maps can be a great first step in a visual analysis of your data they can also be very subjective. What does that mean? Well, the two heat maps shown below reflect the same San Francisco Crime data, and were created using the same tool. The only difference is the criteria that were used to decide what appears very dark (high density) and what appears very light (low density). These types of cartographic elements that we incorporate into our maps can have a huge impact on the story that the map tells.
If the decisions that you’re trying to make as a result of your analyses are important, and they usually are, you’ll want to minimize subjectivity as much . A great way to minimize the subjectivity in your pattern analysis is to use a hot spot analysis, which incorporates a simple spatial statistic to determine if the patterns that you’re seeing are statistically significant or not. The hot spot map is shown here.
So what makes this type of map any less subjective than density-based heat maps? The very dark areas on hot spot maps are statistically significant clusters of high values (hot spots), and the very light areas are statistically significant clusters of low values (cold spots). What’s dark and what’s light is always based on statistical significance. Using hot spot analysis, we can feel confident in the spatial patterns that we see, and in the decisions that we make.(Adapted from: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/communities/analysis/017z00000015000000.htm

TEXT 1
At least 200 people have died in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro after another storm. This is arguably the worst torrential rain for decades, causing flooding and landslides. Our website readers in Rio de Janeiro have been sharing their experiences.
Comment 1 - I’ve never seen such chaos. We weren’t prepared for this, even though we were warned that a big storm was about to come. Newspapers are saying that the reason for the catastrophe is the garbage. Well it may have been. We need to teach recycling at schools and community groups, otherwise we will have more disasters like this. (Lia, Niterói)
Comment 2 - Today I witnessed Rio de Janeiro on the brink of collapse. I ventured out around midday, just as the electric power blacked out in my neighbourhood. Three hours later, looking out of my office window, the city still reminded me of a war zone. “What´ve we done to deserve this?”, I thought. It’s night time now and I haven’t been able to return home. I might do so tomorrow. (José, Rio)
Comment 3 - Worldwide, we are seeing more and more
climate instability. The deserts of central Asia are growing,
while areas of the US (and now Rio) are drenched. The lakes
in Minnesota have never thawed this early, at any time in the
recorded record. The icecaps will be history, and islands
around the world are disappearing under the surf. The oceans
are warming, the coral reefs are dying. How much more
evidence do we need of global warming? (João, Brasília)
