What is the expected output of pgr_lineGraph()?
Asked today Viewed 4 times I am trying to use pgr_lineGraph() to generate some edge-based catchments from a street network model. My expectation is that pgr_lineGraph() should create a node for every edge in the original graph and then create an edge between the new nodes if their corresponding edges meet at a node in the original graph. I have a small extract of my original larger network (shown above) for which I believe I have correctly generated the topology.

The Hosts: Westworld - The Season 1 WAIFU Awards
It’s that time of year again! The most wonderful time of the year.
Game of Thrones Season 8: The GOTYE’s
We’ve come a long way. This is it, the final Game of Thrones Year Endie Awards for the HBO Show. This is probably our best work. We discuss our pre season predictions. The results are shocking. Who will be the ham king? We also give out our prestigious awards as always. This isn’t the definitive end of Cast of Thrones, but I don’t know when we’ll be back. We just have to wait for that next book…if it ever happens. Thanks for all the donkey rides.
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6: The Iron Throne Part 2
We’re back again to dive deep into the series finale of Game of Thrones. This week, we do our standard BS and go through the episode line by line to see where everyone ended up. Jon is back where he started, Sansa’s a queen, and Danny is starting to regret her war tactics. Thank you so much to everyone that went on this journey with us. We hope you’ll join us on Dear Internet for years to come.
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6: The Iron Throne Part 1
We didn’t want to wait on this one. Unfortunately with Michael, Tim, and Jennifer traveling we had to do a quick recording immediately following the episode. Don’t fret though. We will discuss the episode in more depth later in the week. For now enjoy our first impressions. Editors Note: There was some technical issues with the recording, so its definitely not as smooth as normal and the conversation may seem edited at points…it was.
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5: The Bells
What an episode. Cinematic-ally flawless! Everything else…well not so much. This seemed to be a turning point for hardcore fans of the show. People are not happy about Danny and her turn to the darkside. We get into it, we get into it hard. Buckle up people. This one’s tough.
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3: The Long Night
Well, that was a hell of a battle and a controversial episode. There was a lot of back and forth on social media about this episode. It’s hard to wrap up such a long story in a single episode, and some people were left wanting more. Either way, we had a ton of fun discussing the episode. Arya is the true hero of westeros, Jon is a zero, Sam has a good cry, and Dany doesn’t screw things up too bad. Plus stay tuned after the music for some bonus…content?
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Episode 2 is another “table setting” episode but it delivers some of the most heartfelt moments of the series. We’ve waiting so long for our favorite characters to get together, and this season is giving them a little bit of chill time before they all probably die next week. Who’s to say? Brienne finally gets what she deserves, we learn Tormund’s origin, and Davos is the soup man. Plus as a special bonus, an unreleased clip from Dear Internet is after the end music.
Commentary: LEED gets it right - St. Louis Business Journal
The Aug. 18 cover story on the LEED green building rating system missed the bigger picture. Green building rates in the St. Louis region may not measure up to the top five LEED national markets, but as your article points out, we are keeping pace with and even outpacing cities of similar size and demographics. By looking at just a single year of data, however, you are discrediting previous years of successful LEED projects in our region.

Best practices for building an accessible website using the Draft U.S. Web Design Standards
When you work for the federal government, accessibility isn’t simply a nice-to-have — it’s the law. That’s why the Draft U.S. Web Design Standards set developers on the path of creating websites that anyone can use. The Draft Standards feature documentation that can help you keep your websites accessible, even after you make modifications. Every UI component of the Draft Standards is coded and designed to meet Section 508 standards.
