I'm trying to find a way to update labels which are within dynamically created widgets (that can be deleted), according to properties dynamically set in the preceding widgets.
Is there a way to automatically and dynamically link a pyqt object to a property of other widgets, so that when I change a value anywhere, that object updates itself?
Example: object 'a' has property
bars and
bars is given,
start is taken by the previous object (or 1 if None),
end is calculated. object 'b' takes its
start from
a.end and so on.
class myclass(object):
def __init__(self, referrer=None, value=1):
def _get_start(self):
if not self.referrer:
return 1
return self.referrer.end+1
def _get_end(self):
return self.start+self.value-1
def create(value=1):
if not vList:
val=myclass(ref, value)
def showList():
for i in vList:
print 'item: %d\tstart: %d\tend: %d' % (vList.index(i),i.start, i.end)
If I call create() 3 times, showList() will show:
item: 0 start: 1 end: 1
item: 1 start: 2 end: 2
item: 2 start: 3 end: 3
if I change vList[0].value to 3:
item: 0 start: 1 end: 3
item: 1 start: 4 end: 4
item: 2 start: 5 end: 5
The problem raises when I need to keep those values updated in the gui (think to it as an interface like this): every horizontal widget has a label showing the property of
start, a spinbox for
bars, and a label for
end, and as soon as any spinbox value changes, every subsequent widget should update its
start and
end properties according to its previous widget and show them in the relative labels.
Moreover, when any widget is deleted, all the subsequent widget should recompute every property.
Using getter/setter to set the values in the labels of the widgets' next instancies doesn't obviously work as I need, because when I change any
x.value, the following instancies'
start and
end will be actually updated only when recalled, AFAIU.
I could connect every new widget to its previous (with
valueChanged()) or create a function which finds the subsequent widget and update their properties, but that's not a good solution.
Since I am almost new to python (most important: I'm not a programmer) I think that I am ignoring something about "connecting" variables in a better and cleanest way (maybe related to signals or threading?).
Consider that those widgets will actually be children widgets of another "main" widget, which will have similar properties:
start taken from its previous main widget (if any),
bars which is the sum of all
bars in every children widget,
end which will be again
(I hope you will understand what I meant, my english is not perfect and, since I'm not a programmer, my terminology is not always correct)

If I have 2 computers with wireless adapters (1 has 802.11g, 1 has 802.11b) and I have a wireless router 802.11g. Can I setup a home network (i.e. have 2 computers talk to each other)? Do I need to have internet access from an ISP (e.g. comcast) in order to achieve that?

You don't need internet access.
Just set up the router (defaults should be fine, but make sure you enable encryption and set a password on the router settings), then configure each PC to receive an IP address via DHCP (this should also be default). After that, the computers should be reachable from each other (of course, further setup may be required, but without knowing your OS or software configuration, it would be impossible to elaborate further).

Great place in a great location!
I would stay with Terry again in a minute.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Terry's apartment. There was plenty of space for our family of five and having a kitchen and laundry was invaluable (both with cleaning products for us to use). The view from the balcony was amazing, particularly at night. The apartment is in a great location, walking distance to the BTS and Emporium shopping centre. There was a choice of two pools but we utilized the health spa one on the 10th floor as the kids enjoyed that one the most. Terry was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us the ins and outs of the apartment and supplied us with some drinking water which was very thoughtful. We highly recommend this apartment and if we return to Bangkok we would definitely stay here again.
Great stay. Terry's apartment is in an excellent location. Away from the hustle and bustle of Asok & Sukhumvituk but just a 5 min walk to Phrom Pong BTS.
Terry was a fantastic host and accommodates everything! The apartment has a fantastic view of the city, is close to everything, very spacious and incredibly clean! Just remember to feed the fish! I cannot recommend staying here high enough. Five stars, will be looking to come again soon!
The listing was just as posted. Very comfortable for our family of 6 adults and 2 kids. The location was wonderfully central, even our 3 year old had no problem walking to the Prom Phom sky train. I highly recommend this property.
Great apartment in a really good location a short walk from Phrom Pong BTS. Pool was very nice, apartment was as described by the listing. Terry met us there and talked us though everything and was very helpful. A really good place to stay.
Terry was a great host and the apartment was excellent. Smooth experience from end-to-end!

Small changes in Caller.com small school football poll
COASTAL BEND - It was another good Friday night for the top ranked teams in the Coastal Bend.
The six teams that make up the Caller.com top five 3A-2A-1A school rankings all won, but that won't happen this Friday.
Top-ranked Refugio, which is also ranked number one in 2A in the state by the Associated Press, hosts Riviera, which is tied for fifth in this poll. One of the two undefeated teams will be handed a loss with Riviera the underdog, but looking to attone for last year's 69-13 loss.
Ingleside (4-0) exploded in the second half for a second straight week and beat West Oso, 40-12. Ingleside should have less of a fight on its hands against winless Robstown on Friday.
Mathis and Aransas Pass will have no challenge on Friday night and that is likely good news as both a nursing some injuries while winning the first five non-district games of their respective seasons. While Aransas Pass had little trouble with winless Bishop, the Pirates had a late score to get past Zapata. The Panthers host Mathis next Friday in a game that will go a long way in determining which three teams will be will advance from the highly competitive 30-3A district of six teams.
Ben Bolt has one of its stiffest tests of the regular season as traditional 1A power Shiner comes to visit. Ben Bolt escaped with a 27-21 win in Shiner last season. A sweep of their two-game season could help Ben Bolt move into the state top 10 rankings.
Rank Team / Rec. / Prv. / Next Week
1. Refugio / 4-0 / 1 / Friday vs. Riviera
2. Ingleside / 4-0 / 2 / Friday vs. Robstown
3. Aransas Pass / 5-0 / 4 / Bye
4. Mathis / 5-0 / 3 / Bye

New York, NY - On Wednesday, June 24th, 2015, Officeleasecenter attended the Points of Light Civic Accelerator demo night for their Spring 2015 cohort at Microsoft's 11 Times Square office.
SAN FRANCISCO--On Tuesday June 16th, 2015, Office Lease Center attended SF New Tech Video 3.0 hosted at Mighty in San Francisco. This event was focused on how the power of user-generated content and how powerful it can be.
When you have everyone discussing about their design process, it makes for an engaging presentation. It was Design Driven's best meetup so far the way each speaker presented a specific topic—and more importantly, because the presenters were generous with their thoughts and candid with their answers, especially Bradford Shellhammer, founder of Fab.com and most recently, founder of Bezar.
NEW YORK--Joseph Essas of Open Table, the world's leading provider of online restaurant reservations, opened the talk at the Data Driven last June 16 at Bloomberg's offices. It was Data Driven's last monthly meetup as it takes a well-deserved two-month summer break.
"If it doesn't fit excel, it's big data."
NEW YORK--Asking if you really need to know the number of your eggs on your fridge is perhaps the best way to determine how much automation you need for your home. It determines if you need Canary, Hggns, Keen Home or Smart Things, the presenters at the IoT Central meetup last June 17 at R/GA Accelerator's offices near Port Authority.
How do you get attention amid all the noise out there? If you ask Ben Parr, he will tell you that you need 7 captivation triggers, which he expounds on his recently launched book, "Captivology."
NEW YORK--The Market New York Expo for small businesses last May 21 at the Javits Center featured several talks on branding, email marketing, digital sales and mobile marketing. What stood out for us were the talks on Search Engine Optimization by Ruben Quinones, NYU adjunct instructor and VP, Client Strategy at Path Interactive and Mobile Marketing by Warren Zenna, EVP & Managing Director at Mobext (Havas Media).

Only an over-ambitious, juvenile script will turn a complicated, global, nuclear flash-point into a minor matter between one Mukhtar, two maulvis, a Colonel, and the entire 'qom'. This appeared a tender movie about a child. It could've remained as just that.
The filmmakers have hired kid-discoveries of Sanjay Leela Bhansali (Ayesha Kapoor, Black), and Karan Johar (Parzan Dastur, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai). They've placed them at the centre of the Kashmir conflict. Given the commercial success of their past films, it becomes harder to imagine the two as ordinary off-spring of a war-ravaged zone (unlike the little-boy Tahaan, in Santosh Sivan's stunning film on the same theme last year).
The two behave irritatingly like mature adults. This isn't uncommon for children of war. They inevitably (or unfortunately) grow up faster than most. Little boy Sikander lost his parents to the insurgency (it isn't made clear how). The girl Nasreen is his only confidante. They find a pistol lying unattended to on their first walk together. The boy picks up the gun to scare away bullies in school. He even fires with a casualness that'd make plastic toys seem deadly.
Over a carelessly conceived moment at a washing-machine store, the kid's gun becomes public knowledge for a terrorist to take advantage of. The child needs ready money. The militant prepares him for an assassination.
Though I've only read a lengthy but wonderful excerpt, I'm told, Basharat Peer's recent non-fiction book Curfewed Nights is a telling account of growing up among guns in Kashmir. The film genre in itself is a fairly expansive one, with several heart-rending stories of innocent children caught in the web of war, in Afghanistan, the Middle East, Central Europe, Africa... Those films work because we see a conflict though a child's eye, and not for once a newspaper headline. They humanise a problem through sweet subtleties and delicate metaphors.
This one fails because the child and his warm ambitions of playing football or buying for his aunt a washing machine are just cursory mentions. The filmmakers focus instead on the supposed politics of the region, a lame conspiracy, and some larger comment. Their view is entirely the outsider's; and their idiom, completely bombastic. What remains is a poorly written, shoddily shot, over-dramatic 'Bollywood' thriller-type, attempted on a budget for a ballroom. Mute up the background score, to start with, please. Thank you. Let's go easy on the rest of it now.

With their rematch officially set, now is as good a time as any to watch the epic first meeting between Bellator lightweights Michael Chandler and Eddie Alvarez.

Don't let a slimy soap dish ruin the experience of a superior bar. Opt instead for this dignified design, crafted by New York's Niagara China Company, whose durable ceramics date back to the turn of the 20th century. Made of creamy white porcelain, each dish has a sturdy motto or enduring symbol stamped on its base.
This soap dish is high quality and high class. I was sent the Sports design as part of my Birchbox Man subscription and I love it. This glass soap dish looks great on the counter and fits your standard bar of soap, shaving supplies, jewelry, or anything else you want to put in it. If you are in the market for a soap dish, for the price, this one cannot be beat. I am also a big fan of the surf design...something about sharks and bathrooms just makes sense. Enjoy!5

Comment: Re:Falcon Heavy will land 3 boosters per mission (Score 1) 72 72
The video has them all landing together largely for dramatic effect (or to avoid modeling an ASDS). For most real launches, the center core will be much too far downrange and moving too fast to return to the launch site, and will have to land on an ASDS positioned out at sea. The smaller side pads are intended as fallbacks in case the center pad is unreachable or otherwise out of commission. They'll probably use two ASDSs for the center and one side core until they get a second land-based landing site constructed.

VIEWS: 1 PAGES: 2 POSTED ON: 9/29/2012 Public Domain
Draft Completed: February 19, 2009 Approved: April 28, 2009 Adopted: Revised: TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM OF GEORGIA ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES MANUAL This procedure applies to technical colleges and system office Disbursement and Refunds of Federal Student Aid Funds General The Federal Student Aid (FSA) Handbook published annually by the United States Department of Education provides the rules to follow when disbursing federal student aid funds to student accounts and when paying refunds to students for remaining credit balances after all allowable charges have been considered. The FSA Handbook is a companion publication of the Blue Book also published by the USDOE and can be found at http://www.ifap.ed.gov/ifap/index.jsp under the "Publications" link. This procedure applies to the following FSA programs: Pell Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG), and Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG). Disbursement of Federal Aid Funds to Student Accounts There are two ways to disburse FSA funds: by crediting the student's account for allowable charges at the college, or by paying the student directly. When a school disburses FSA program funds to a student by crediting the student's account, it may do so only for allowable charges. The FSA Handbook allows that the timing of disbursements of FSA funds be made to best meet the needs of students at the college. However, the Technical College System of Georgia requires the initial disbursement of Pell funds be made within 14 days of the first day of the quarter. Subsequent disbursements should be made to best meet the needs of students at the college. The Financial Aid office shall perform all financial aid disbursement processes in Banner. Payment of Federal Aid Fund Credit Balances – Refunds An FSA credit occurs whenever the college disburses FSA program funds to a student's account and the total amount of those FSA funds exceeds the student's allowable charges. The credit balance must be paid directly to the student as soon as possible, but no later than 14 days after either the date the balance occurred on the student's account of the first day of classes if the credit balance occurred on or before the first day of class of the quarter. To ensure FSA refund checks are being issued within 14 days of the disbursement in Banner, all Banner financial aid cashier sessions must be reviewed for new disbursements at least once a week. At that time, the Banner Specialist shall communicate the new disbursement information to the appropriate business office personnel so (1) the adjustments can be recorded in the accounting records, (2) the federal funds can be drawn down from the United States Department of Education and (3) any necessary refund checks can be prepared in a timely manner.

At 38, He Runs A Hotel Giant (Jealous Yet)
By ADAM BRYANT
Published: August 9, 1998
WHEN Richard D. Nanula is not in the middle of changing jobs and moving, he likes to unwind by watching five television sets at once, using a customized touch pad to change channels quickly and adjust the sound. Oh, and he sometimes reads at the same time.
''I'm a multiprocessor,'' he said.
And listening to Mr. Nanula, 38, talk about his life is also like watching several channels at once.
There he is at the Walt Disney Company, which hired him out of Harvard Business School 12 years ago and named him chief financial officer at the age of 31. He quickly made his mark, negotiating long and hard to get the troubled Euro Disney theme park on firmer financial footing, handling more than $1 billion of financing for Disney films and issuing rare 100-year bonds.
And there he is pursuing his second career as one of the world's greatest sports fans. He once moved intensive business negotiations to the Super Bowl so he wouldn't miss the game. When he learned that Shaquille O'Neal, the Los Angeles Lakers center, had moved into his Beverly Hills neighborhood last summer, Mr. Nanula got his wish for a pick-up game with him.
And there he is again, in a T-shirt, sunglasses and a baseball cap, on the back cover of the menu at the recently opened ESPN Zone restaurant in Baltimore. The restaurant is a Disney property, and executives who knew of Mr. Nanula's passion for sports agreed that he should be the poster boy for serious fandom.
''It's one of my favorite things I've ever done,'' Mr. Nanula said of the menu.
Now Mr. Nanula (pronounced na-NOO-lah) faces perhaps the hardest thing he's ever done, taking over as chief executive of Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, the world's largest hotel company.
Consider his challenge. By acquiring Westin Hotels and ITT, Starwood has become, in a way, a $16 billion start-up. And Mr. Nanula, who became its chief on June 1, must now assemble a team to run Starwood's many distinct parts -- including the Caesars World casinos and the company's Sheraton and luxury hotels -- and assemble three companies into one at its new headquarters in White Plains.
To cut costs, he is using the company's size to renegotiate contracts for its 650 hotels on everything from mattresses to shrimp to long-distance service. He hopes to raise revenues by, among other things, stitching together reservation systems and frequent-guest programs.
All the while, Starwood is growing, with 125,000 employees and $1 billion of projects in the pipeline, and it is starting a new brand, W Hotels, to compete in the so-called boutique hotel market.
Lest Mr. Nanula's job grow too dull, he must also develop a new corporate structure for Starwood, which recently lost a battle with Congress and the White House to extend the tax advantages of its unusual corporate structure.
The company's stock price, meanwhile, has sagged, along with others in the lodging industry; Starwood shares have fallen 5.7 percent over the last year, better than the 6.4 percent drop in the Chicago Board Options Exchange index of real estate investment trusts but well below the 16.7 percent gain in the Standard & Poor's 500.
''I'm not sure anyone has tried to pull off what we're doing here,'' Mr. Nanula said during three hours of interviews squeezed into his schedule. ''It is a big and interesting challenge.''
ALSO at stake is the reputation of Barry S. Sternlicht, a longtime friend of Mr. Nanula. Mr. Sternlicht, who is 37, built Starwood at breakneck speed and is now its chairman, but he acknowledges that he lacks the operational skills to make it all work. Mr. Nanula's efforts will go a long way toward determining whether Mr. Sternlicht will be regarded in coming years as a savvy deal maker or as someone who paid too much to create an unwieldy corporate giant.
''What you see today is a company operating on 2 of its 12 cylinders,'' Mr. Sternlicht said.
Many people on Wall Street are betting that Mr. Nanula can make Starwood hum, though no one minimizes the enormity of his task.
''For Richard Nanula to have left his job at Disney says a lot about what he believes is the potential for Starwood,'' said Jason N. Ader, an analyst at Bear, Stearns. ''But he's got to focus to manage the assimilation process.''
Mr. Nanula's route to Starwood can be traced, in part, to his penchant for juggling several tasks.
On his first day at Harvard, in 1984, he took a seat in the lecture hall at the end of the last row -- or ''skydeck,'' as the students called it -- so he could read newspapers and magazines or do course work when class discussions bogged down.
Two seats away sat Mr. Sternlicht, another multitasker. ''I'm really good at doodling and listening at the same time, which drives people crazy because they don't think I'm listening,'' he explained recently.
The two had pursued different academic interests. Mr. Sternlicht was a liberal arts major at Brown University in a program called Law and Society (or ''Lost in Society,'' as he called it). Mr. Nanula studied economics at the University of California at Santa Barbara and was a certified public accountant.

USC, UTEP coaching staffs get into heated discussion at Battle 4 Atlantis reception
Nov 27, 2013, 9:32 PM EDT
"Tim Floyd shows up every day at work and realizes he lives in El Paso, Texas. And he's pissed off that he didn't get the USC job two months ago. I told him, 'Tim, if I could have all this power to somehow convince a family to do this, why the heck didn't the kid come last spring, when I first got the job?'"
Those were the words of first-year USC head coach Andy Enfield to a group of USC boosters, as dictated in a profile of the coach written by Stephen Rodrick in the December issue of Men's Journal, and it was the latest salvo in a spat between the USC and UTEP programs that has spanned the last several months.
Both teams are playing in this weekend's Battle 4 Atlantis event in The Bahamas, and according to Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated (he's in attendance) the two coaching staffs had a heated exchange at the pre-tournament reception.
The conversation between the head coaches lasted for several minutes, with Floyd doing most of the talking. As it intensified, Enfield's wife, Amanda, came to stand next to her husband. Floyd did not direct any of his remarks toward her or Miller.
After about five minutes, three of Enfield's assistant coaches, Kevin Norris, Tony Bland and Jason Hart, stood behind Floyd. Soon Floyd could be heard saying to Hart, "Do you want to kick my ass?"
At that point, Floyd's assistant coach, Bob Cantu, who served as USC's interim head coach after the school fired Kevin O'Neill during the 2013 regular season and was sitting at a table a few feet away, stood up and joined the conversation. While Enfield, his wife and Floyd walked away, Cantu got into an argument with Bland and Hart. Those men were separated, but a few seconds later Bland rushed at Cantu. He was held back by UTEP strength coach Chisan Jones.
Both Floyd and Cantu have connections to the USC program, with Floyd being the head coach during the entire O.J. Mayo fiasco and Cantu being a long-time assistant before completing last season as the interim head coach. And there's also the issue of former UTEP signee Isaac Hamilton, who's sitting out the current season at UCLA.
In the immediate aftermath of Hamilton requesting to be released from his National Letter of Intent, Floyd accused USC and Enfield of tampering with the McDonald's All-American. That all likely played a role in tonight's disagreement, and with the two programs on opposite sides of the Battle 4 Atlantis event there's no guarantee that they'll meet.
But if the two teams match results over the first two days, so to speak, they would play on Saturday. And that would definitely be something to watch, regardless of what place the Trojans and Miners are playing for.
