How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Setae morphology and the phylogeny of ground spiders (Araneae, Gnaphosidae)
1. Setae morphology and the
phylogeny of ground spiders
(Araneae, Gnaphosidae)
By Amanda Tsang
LaGuardia Community College
March 10, 2014
2. Introduction
Gnaphosids (commonly known as ground spiders) are
one of the biggest families of spiders. The group
includes 122 genera and 2,162 species (Platnik, 2013).
This study aims to provide an updated description of
the morphology of ground spider setae, integumentary
accessory organs located on the cuticle. Previous
studies have demonstrated that these structures differ
among gnaphosids and may give researchers cues for
the ground spiders classification on the generic and
subfamily level (Ovtsharenko, 1983, 1985, 1989;
Murphy, 2007).
3. Research Goals
To demonstrate morphological differences of setae in
each genera.
To provide necessary key characteristics for more
precise genera description and subfamilies delineation.
To gather data for a future cladistic analysis that will
allow us to draw a phylogenic tree of the gnaphosid
group for the first time.
4. Methods
Descriptions are based on
specimens preserved in
75% ethanol. To prepare
the specimens for
examination, the abdomen
of each specimen was
desiccated using the
critical point drying
technique, and then coated
with gold and palladium.
Specimens were then imaged using a Hitachi S-4700 Field
Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) at a 5 kv
beam voltage, and 15 mA probe current.

11. Gnaphosa muscorum
Flattened setae with
a longitudinal groove
in the stem. Very
short, spine-like
apophysis of uniform
size running from the
bottom to top of the
stem on each side.
12. Gnaphosa taurica
Flattened setae with
a longitudinal groove
in the stem. Very
short, spine-like
apophysis of uniform
size running from the
bottom to top of the
stem on each side.
13. Herpyllus propinqus
(2 types of setae)
1. Saber-shaped
setae, serrated on
the concave side
and flat on the
convex side.
2. Plumose setae
with two to three
brachia at the base.
14. Hypodrassodes maoricus
Squamous setae with
two pairs of brachia at
the base, and a single
spine at the top. Two
rows of scaly
outgrowths on the top
half.
22. Results
The plumose setae of Apopyllus, Drassodes, Leptodrassus, and
Nomisia all have lateral appendages covering the first half of
the stem. The number of brachia varies per genus. In
Leptodrassus and Nomisia, the brachia are almost the same
length as the stem, while in Apopyllus and Drassodes, the
brachia are shorter and vary in length along the stem.
Parasyrisca, Pterotricha and Sosticus also have plumose setae
with unpaired brachia. Parasyrisca typically has 4 to 5 brachia,
while Pterotricha has 3 to 5 short brachia and Sosticus has
approximately 7 brachia. The plumose setae of Berlandina has
approximately 11 pairs of flattened brachia covering almost
the entire stalk, while Notiodrassus only has two paired brachia
at the base.
23. Results
Anzacia has squamous setae with 3-4 brachia close to the root.
The top is serrated with one spine. Hypodrassodes also has
squamous setae, with two pairs of brachia at the base, and a
single spine at the top. Two rows of scaly outgrowths
characterize the top half. Micaria is characterized by squamous
setae with a serrated top and no brachia.
The Gnaphosa genus is characterized by a very special type of
setae which were not found among other spiders of the family.
Such a peculiar characteristic needs explanation which may be
found in the specifics of the family evolution.
Litopyllus and Herpyllus exhibited a peculiar type of saber-
shaped setae that points to their close evolutionary relation.
24. Conclusions
Our study shows that all ground spiders, with only a
few exclusions, possess setae that cover their abdomen.
There are different types of covering setae
characteristics for different gnaphosid genera and
groups of genera, which makes setae a valuable
characteristic for the ground spiders’ classification on
subfamily level and establishing of their evolutionary
relationship. Our study supports previous studies
(Ovtsharenko, 1983, 1985, 1989; Murphy, 2007) that
setae of gnaphosid spiders greatly vary in shape and
demonstrate genus specific characteristics.
