Lesson 4 Career Opportunities and Business Ideas in CookingJuvywen
The document describes different jobs and positions in a restaurant kitchen. An executive chef directs overall restaurant operations and supervises kitchen staff. A chef de cuisine takes charge of one kitchen and reports to the executive chef. A sous chef takes the place of the chef when they are not around. Cooks usually work in schools, cafeterias, and hospitals. Food preparation staff are responsible for tasks like peeling, cutting, and maintaining cleanliness.
The document discusses different kitchen layout designs including L-shaped, U-shaped, G-shaped, galley or corridor, and one-wall or straight kitchens. The L-shaped kitchen is efficient for small and corner spaces, while the U-shaped kitchen divides the kitchen into multiple workspaces and allows for freer traffic flow and more counter space. The G-shaped kitchen includes a fourth leg or peninsula to provide additional counter and storage space as well as seating. Galley kitchens have more length than width with two opposing walls of workspace and storage separated by a single traffic lane. One-wall kitchens are the smallest design with cabinets, refrigerator, sink, and stove along a single wall.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

3. Google Confidential and
Word Soup
There are a lot of names and terms associated with the internet, the web,
browsers, and search engines. Sorting them out can get confusing!
4. Google Confidential and
What is the Internet?
The internet is a global network of
computers. It is millions of computers
around the world, all connected.
People often think of the internet as a cloud
in space. In reality, every computer in the
"inter-network", or internet, is connected by
actual wires -- ethernet cables, phone lines,
and fiber optic wiring on the ocean floor!
5. Google Confidential and
What is the Web?
People often use the words "the internet" and
"the web" interchangeably. Is there a
difference?
The World Wide Web is just one part of the
internet. The internet also includes e-mail,
instant messaging, multiplayer gaming, and
FTP (peer-to-peer file sharing).
6. Google Confidential and
What is a Browser?
A browser is a tool to help you access the World Wide Web. Check it out!
8. Google Confidential and
Websites vs. Webpages
A website is a collection of webpages that
belong to one domain or owner.
A webpage is a single document (which can
include images, videos, charts, etc)
viewable through a web browser.
For example, www.sandiegozoo.org is a
website for the San Diego Zoo. "Hours &
Directions" is one webpage on the website.
9. Google Confidential and
What is a Web Address?
A web address is the identifying address for
a file, or webpage, on the internet. Typing a
web address into the browser bar, or
address bar, allows you to access this file
on the internet. Another word for "web
address" is URL.
An example of a web address is
http://www.google.com.
10. Google Confidential and
What is a Search Engine?
A search engine is a program to help you
find webpages on the internet.
Some examples of search engines include
Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Ask.
11. Google Confidential and
Deep Web vs. Visible Web
When you use a search engine, you only
have access to the visible web -- the part of
the web your search engine has indexed.
The entire web is much larger than any one
search engine's index. It is estimated that
the deep web is over 500 times the size of
the visible web!
The deep web includes webpages that are
not linked to by other pages, password-
protected sites, and private databases
(such as library catalogs).

In·ter·net - global computer network: a network that links computer networks all over the world by satellite and telephone, connecting users with service networks such as e-mail and the World Wide Web
-Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks, metropolitan area networks and wide area networks.
P2P file sharing allows users to access media files such as books, music, movies, and games using a P2P software program that searches for other connected computers on a P2P network to locate the desired content. The nodes (peers) of such networks are end-user computer systems that are interconnected via the Internet
Peer-to-peer (P2P) is an approach to content distribution in which digital files are transferred between “peer” computers over the Internet. In a client/server structure, servers store content and, when requested, send that content to client machines—a one-to- many distribution model.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server
-The client–server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients.
A browser is software that accesses and displays pages and files on the web. Browsers require a connection to the Internet (e.g., through a cable modem, a direct Ethernet connection, or Wi-Fi). Popular web browsers include Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Firefox is available for both Windows and Mac computers.
A Web browser is a program used to visit websites, while a search engine is a website that allows you to look for specific websites or information based on keywords, dates and other criteria. Common examples of Web browsers include Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
Mozilla is a web browser, not a search engine. Its default search engine is yahoo, although that can be configured in preferences
----A browser is used to access the Internet whereas in order to open a search engine
you need a browser
-----There are many browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera, etc. A browser is used to access various websites and web pages. A search engineis also a software program that searches for some particular document when specific keywords are entered
If a website were a book, then awebpage would be a chapter in that book.
Domain names are used to identify one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com
URL is the abbreviation of Uniform Resource Locator. It is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. For example, www.webopedia.com is a URL
An index is an indicator or measure of something, and in finance, it typically refers to a statistical measure of change in a securities market. In the case of financial markets, stock and bond market indices consist of an imaginary portfolio of securities representing a particular market or a portion of it

The deep web,[1] invisible web,[2] or hidden web[3] are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard search engines for any reason. The opposite term to the deep web is the surface web. The deep web includes many very common uses such as web mail, online banking but also paid for services with a paywall such as video on demand, and many more. Computer scientist Mike Bergman is credited with coining the term deep web in 2000 as a search indexing term.[4]
The Surface Web (also called the Visible Web, Clearnet, Indexed Web, Indexable Webor Lightnet,) is that portion of the World Wide Web that is readily available to the general public and searchable with standard web search engines. It is the opposite of the deep web.
--an alternate name for the process in the context of search engines designed to find web pages on the Internet is web indexing.
----In layman's terms, indexing is the process of adding webpages into Google search. Depending upon which meta tag you used (index or NO-index), Google will crawl and index your pages. A no-index tag means that that page will not be added into the web search's index. By default, every WordPress post and page is indexed
---The deep web, invisible web, or hidden web are parts of the World Wide Web whose contents are not indexed by standard web search engines for any reason
This is what the homepage looks like, you find it by entering google.com in the address bar of your browser.
When you want to find information with Google, you click in the search box on the homepage.
You can tell you are there when you see your cursor blinking in the box.
Then, type the words you want to find into the search box like this. (Demonstrate in an open browser, if available)
When you are done, you can either click the button here that says "Google Search," or you can simply hit the "enter" button on your keyboard.
(You can open a browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari and demonstrate where students might type a search into the browser's toolbar. In Chrome, you type both queries and addresses into the address bar. In other browsers, the long bar across the top of the browser is for entering addresses, and the smaller box--often in the upper right-hand corner--is for entering queries.)
Have students enter a simple query try the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. Ask them to observe what happens.
Possible answer: I'm Feeling Lucky does not take me to search results, but takes me directly to the page that Google would give as my first result to the query I entered.
We all know how regular Google works, right? You type in a phrase, you press the search button, (you can also just press return or enter on your keyboard) and Google returns a results page that shows multiple Web sites matching your search phrase. The I'm Feeling Lucky button skips the search results page and goes directly to the first ranked page for that search phrase.
If you are looking for something that is not necessarily on a typical web page, you might want to click on one of these links and use one of Google's special search tools.
From here, you can go directly into Google Images, Google Books, etc. We'll talk about these tools in a later lesson.
Show students the link to the Advanced search page, and take a quick look at the advanced search box. Together or individually, try using several of the boxes to run a more complex search.
----Advanced Search
Narrow down search results for complex searches by using the Advanced Search page. For example, you can find sites updated in the last 24 hours or images that are in black and white
------Advanced search options are a set of very useful features offered by most searchengines and search tools on the Web. Advanced search gives the Web searcher the ability to narrow their searches by a series of different filters; i.e., language, proximity, domain,
Now that you have run a search, you need to understand how the search results page is laid out.
Introduce:
search bar
left panel (the subject of later lessons)
organic search results
sponsored links (ads)
As you click, each of these sections will be highlighted, and the next click will show the section's name.
---Organic search results are listings on search engineresults pages that appear because of their relevance to the search terms, as opposed to their being advertisements. In contrast, non-organic search resultsmay include pay per click advertising
Google takes a snapshot of each page it examines and caches (stores) that version as a back-up. The cached version is what Google uses to judge if a page is a good match for your query. Practically every search result includes a Cached link. Dec 28, 2011
Snippet is a programming term for a small region of re-usable source code, machine code, or text. Ordinarily, these are formally defined operative units to incorporate into larger programming modules. Snippet management is a feature of some text editors, program source code editors, IDEs, and related software. It allows the user to avoid repetitive typing in the course of routine edit operations.[1]
(1)
The first thing you see is the title.
The title for the page is usually decided by the person who created it.
Here, notice that the title tells us both the name of the page, "The Pesident's Job," and the name of the website from which it comes, "Scholastic.com."
(click)
(2)
The information in black underneath the title is called the snippet.
The snippet gives you a sense of what you will find on the page, and what it has to do with the search you entered.
This description was written by the website's author to help you understand what the page is about. Sometimes, Google shows you where your search term appears on the page, with a few words surrounding it to give you a sense of the context in which it appears.
(click)
(3)
Below the snippet, in green, is the web address. It is the address for the webpage that you will visit if you click on this result.
(click)
(4)
The cached link shows you exactly what this web page looked like when Google last visited it.
If you click on the cached link, you will see a copy of the page as it existed at that time.
This cached link is particularly helpful if the webpage has changed very recently and the information you want is no longer there.
You can just click on the cached link and see what it was that Google found the last time we visited the page.
You can also use the cached link if the page you want to visit is not functioning, or has been removed.
(click)
(5)
Finally, if you find that this page does a good job meeting your needs, you can click on the similar items link to find more pages that have similar content.
"Snippet" a fictional web site - Students write up search results, like they saw in [Slide #11], of a website about themselves or interview a class member and write up search results about a fictional web page a class member might have. Questions to ask: If they had a web site, what would a search engine show about their site? Include: title, snippet, URL and similar pages. Share student created fictional search results with class to determine understanding of search results and what they mean.
Inquiry questions: Which link should I follow? Which search result has what I need?
Students will learn to understand what the different parts of search results suggest about the content of the pages they offer.
Students will learn to interpret these results in order to pick the best sources without reading every page.
The teacher explains:
"If you were cutting up a pineapple for the first time, how would you learn to do it?"
Students guess how to search and anticipate how to read the search results.
For example, the query [cut pineapple] brings back a full screen of videos that show exactly how to do that successfully.
Then teacher explains:
“Now, let’s say you want to get a pet dog, but you think you want a pure-breed so you can compete in dog shows. If you search for what different breeds of dogs there are, how do you pick which page to visit?”
Brings back pages:
snippets indicate various numbers of types of breeds (one indicates “over 195,” another “over 300”)
middle of the page is the American Kennel Club, which speaks of “recognized” breeds
Ask what language indicates about why the website owner is talking about different breeds of dogs.
Alternatively, the teacher could have a search page open and take student guesses, but do not click on the links.
Discussion questions:
*How does Google search work? What do these search features mean?
*How can they help you decide which link to follow?
*Search results
Possible Answers:
These are the organic search results. The results are not influenced by sponsored links. Google does not sell results rank for search results. Organic search results and sponsored link results work from different and separate servers.
*Title
Possible Answers:
The name of the specific page you would visit if you clicked on that link.
*Snippet
Possible Answers:
A description of the content that you will find if you click on that search result. It may be written as a description, or it may be segments of the text of the page that show the words from your query.
*Web address
Possible Answers:
Also called a URL. The market for the unique location that webpage occupies on the Internet.
*Sponsored links
Possible Answers:
Google allows for ads with specific guidelines. Ads must be relevant to the search, not be distracting, and labeled clearly as "Sponsored Links". Google doesn't sell search results.
*Left Panel
Possible Answers:
The column of links down the left-hand side of the results screen. It suggests ways you might want to filter your results, and can be opened up to allow you to make a number of choices regarding how your results can be filtered and sorted.

Google ranks results, showing you those that it thinks best fit your query first.
Google uses a specific calculation to determine both which results and where results appear on the search results page.
This calculation is based on similar (relevant) pages and web pages with hyperlinks to those pages.
So, the more popular and relevant a particular website, the more likely it will be ranked higher and indexed on the results page.
Google search is constantly being revised to make sure the most useful results appear on top.
Funny story: Lead singer of Franz Ferdinand, Alex Kapranos, gave interview.
He once said he would know if his band had "made it" when they occupied the first place in the search results!

The first step in picking a link is thinking about what you see.
Look at the two search results.
Discuss what clues students see that help them decide which would be good to click.
Inquiry questions:
How can I further refine my searches in order to find more relevant material?
How can I find results that might not be easily found with basic search?
What are the syntaxes associated with advanced search techniques?
In this module, students will learn how to use Google's seven advanced search operators.
Students will be able to conduct advanced searches and determine when each type of operator should be applied.
Give a brief introduction to operators.
Discuss with students what operators are and how they modify words or numbers around them.
Ask students to provide examples of how certain English and mathematical operators are used to change the meaning of a sentence or phrase.
Like English or math, Google Search has particular operators that modify a search query.
Tell students they will be introduced to seven advanced operators to use in their searches.
Tweak- twist
Demonstrate advanced operator searches as indicated on the slides.
Conduct the searches on each slide with and without the advanced operator, and ask students to notice and discuss the differences in the search results between these searches.
Encourage students to offer any other possible searches that might make use of each operator.
Ask students to follow along on computers if possible.

Bing: Bing is the latest name for Microsoft’s search engine, previously called Windows Live Search and MSN Search. Bing brands itself as a “decision engine”, aiming to present results with more real-world context than just finding text on a page. Bing also powers Yahoo’s search, which, coupled with Bing, serves 32.6% of US internet searchers.
