Whether you’re calculating how many cases will fit in your trunk, balancing towers of cookies in your dining room, or keeping spirits high (and fingers warm) at a cookie booth, you are a critical part of the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Here’s how you can help your Girl Scout be successful: • Help her set goals and practice her business skills to earn her Goal Getter patch. • Make sure your Girl Scout does not take orders prior to January 7th and no cookies are distributed to customers prior to January 21st, the official kick of the cookies season. • Help her network with family and friends, but let her do the “ask” so she can learn important business skills. • Help her participate online by registering for ABC Smart Cookies. Share email addresses of family and friends for online orders. • Volunteer to chaperone a booth. If the parent or guardian is helping at a Troop Booth, they need to be registered and cleared. If doing a Family Booth, they need to be registered. • Help her social distance and view our COVID-19 Best Practices on page 5. • Turn over all funds to the Troop Cookie Manager as soon as possible. • Remember that cookies cannot be returned to the troop or council once signed for. • Accept financial responsibility for all cookies and money received. NOTE: The cookie program helps Girl Scouts learn honesty and fairness. Failure to account for money and products received will be considered misappropriation of funds. 3 HOW GIRLS SELL COOKIES In Eastern Pennsylvania, girls participate in the Cookie Program through these channels: In Person: Girls can walk around the neighborhood with a parent/guardian and cookies in-hand, or with an order form to deliver the cookies at a later date. Money must be collected at the time the product is handed to the customer. Girls can use their doorhangers to promote their sale in a safe and socially distant way. Girls both in troops and individually registered members (IRM’s) can participate in the Cookie Program by selling in person. NEW THIS YEAR: Girls may collect credit card payments by using the Smart Cookies app for CONTACTLESS PAYMENT. Make sure to check the following page and gsep.org for the latest update on Covid-19 practices. Cookie Booths: Troops sell cookies directly to customers at booths, often in high-traffic areas such as grocery stores, malls, or sporting events. Families should not arrange cookie booths on their own – your troop leader will work with the Service Unit Cookie Manager. The SUCM will help assign booths in a fair and even way. Cookies sold at booths must be divided evenly among the girls that participated at the booth, and every troop booth must have two cleared and registered adults, who are not related to one another, and one of whom must be a female. If you would like to set up a Family Booth, talk with your Troop Leader. Family booths must be within your service unit boundary lines, can only include girls that live in the same household and must follow and meet GSEP’s girl to adult ratios. If your IRM is interested in participating in cookie booths, reach out to your Service Unit Cookie Manager! Make sure to check out the following page and gsep.org for the latest update on Covid-19 practices. Online Sales: Girls in troops and individually registered members (IRMs) can sell online using ABC Smart Cookies. The parent/ guardian will receive a registration email from Smart Cookies in mid-December with a link to create the girl’s profile. Families can then download the Smart Cookies App that allows a girl to set goals, place and track orders, and view recognitions and achievements. NEW THIS YEAR: Girls can now take card payment on the Smart Cookies app for girl delivery or direct shipment. Girls who become registered Girl Scouts after mid-December and before the end of the Cookie Program will get an email invitation to be able to participate online. Uploads of new girls will happen every Wednesday. Gift of Caring and Hometown Heroes: This is a great option for customers who don’t want to buy cookies for themselves but, want to help Girl Scouts meet their goals! Troops can set up a donation box at their booths and then choose a worthy organization to gift with their donated cookies. Recipients can be “heroes” in the community such as shelters, firefighters, police officers, etc. If a troop has more monetary donations than they have cookies left in physical inventory, they can make a “virtual cookie share” donation that will be managed by the council for delivery to the USO and non-profit organizations. REMEMBER: Only registered Girl Scouts sell Girl Scout cookies. Girls cannot sell cookies to a business that plans to resell the product to its customers. Girls should always be a sister to all other Girl Scouts and practice the Girl Scout Promise and Law when participating in the Cookie Program. Girls can only sell within the GSEP nine-county footprint, and all troops must report to their SUCMs where they will be selling. Out-of-state booths are prohibited unless approved by GSEP, booths set up without GSEP permission will be immediately shutdown. Door-to-Door Safety Cookie Booth Basics 1.

    ARTICLE ADAPTING COPYRIGHT FOR THE MASHUP GENERATION PETER S. MENELL† Growing out of the rap and hip hop genres as well as advances in digital editing tools, music mashups have emerged as a defining genre for post-Napster generations. Yet the uncertain contours of copyright liability as well as prohibitive transaction costs have pushed this genre underground, stunting its development, limiting remix artists’ commercial channels, depriving sampled artists of fair compensation, and further alienating netizens and new artists from the copyright system. In the real world of transaction costs, subjective legal standards, and market power, no solution to the mashup problem will achieve perfection across all dimensions. The appropriate inquiry is whether an allocation mechanism achieves the best overall resolution of the trade-offs among authors’ rights, cumulative creativity, freedom of expression, and overall functioning of the copyright system. By adapting the long-standing cover license for the mashup genre, Congress can support a charismatic new genre while affording fairer compensation to owners of sampled works, engaging the next generations, and channeling disaffected music fans into authorized markets.

  • Effect of Substitution of Rice Flour with Quinoa Flour on the Chemical
    foods Article Effect of Substitution of Rice Flour with Quinoa Flour on the Chemical-Physical, Nutritional, Volatile and Sensory Parameters of Gluten-Free Ladyfinger Biscuits Michela Cannas, Simone Pulina, Paola Conte, Alessandra Del Caro, Pietro Paolo Urgeghe , Antonio Piga * and Costantino Fadda Dipartimento di Agraria, Università degli Studi di Sassari, Viale Italia 39/A, 07100 Sassari, Italy; [email protected] (M.C.); [email protected] (S.P.); [email protected] (P.C.); [email protected] (A.D.C.); [email protected] (P.P.U.); [email protected] (C.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0792-9272 Received: 27 May 2020; Accepted: 17 June 2020; Published: 19 June 2020 Abstract: The present study investigates the effect of partial or total substitution of rice flour (RF) with quinoa flour (QF) (at 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) on the chemical-physical, nutritional, and sensory characteristics, as well as the volatile compounds, of ladyfinger biscuits. All quinoa-based formulations positively affected the crust colour, endowing it with lower ‘lightness’ and higher ‘redness’ values, giving the biscuits a more appealing crust colour. Biscuits with higher percentages of QF also had better structure, as they were softer. The substitution of RF with QF significantly improved the nutritional profile of the biscuits, as a result of the increase in protein, lipid, ash, total soluble (SP) and insoluble polyphenol (IP), flavonoid, and antioxidant activity levels, which increased linearly with the substitution rate. Quinoa supplementation led to an increase in volatile compounds that were nearly always characterised by positive olfactory attributes. Sensory analysis revealed that the maximal substitution rate of QF able to maintain an adequate consumer acceptability rating is probably 50%, as higher percentages impaired acceptability due to the presence of herbaceous and bitter tastes, even if the consumers also rated these samples as healthier and softer to touch.

  • Everyday Feminism in the Digital Era: Gender, the Fourth Wave, and Social Media Affordances
    EVERYDAY FEMINISM IN THE DIGITAL ERA: GENDER, THE FOURTH WAVE, AND SOCIAL MEDIA AFFORDANCES A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Urszula M. Pruchniewska May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Carolyn Kitch, Advisory Chair, Media and Communication Fabienne Darling-Wolf, Media and Communication Adrienne Shaw, Media and Communication Rebecca Alpert, Religion ABSTRACT The last decade has seen a pronounced increase in feminist activism and sentiment in the public sphere, which scholars, activists, and journalists have dubbed the “fourth wave” of feminism. A key feature of the fourth wave is the use of digital technologies and the internet for feminist activism and discussion. This dissertation aims to broadly understand what is “new” about fourth wave feminism and specifically to understand how social media intersect with everyday feminist practices in the digital era. This project is made up of three case studies –Bumble the “feminist” dating app, private Facebook groups for women professionals, and the #MeToo movement on Twitter— and uses an affordance theory lens, examining the possibilities for (and constraints of) use embedded in the materiality of each digital platform. Through in-depth interviews and focus groups with users, alongside a structural discourse analysis of each platform, the findings show how social media are used strategically as tools for feminist purposes during mundane online activities such as dating and connecting with colleagues. Overall, this research highlights the feminist potential of everyday social media use, while considering the limits of digital technologies for everyday feminism. This work also reasserts the continued need for feminist activism in the fourth wave, by showing that the material realities of gender inequality persist, often obscured by an illusion of empowerment.

    2/25/2021 Girl Scouts View in Browser Sharing Joy in Challenging Times Dear Girl Scout Family, Girl Scout Cookie season moves into high gear tomorrow when cookie booths open across Monmouth and Ocean counties. It’s an exciting time for all our Cookie Bosses and families, as well as everyone in our community, eager for the annual tradition of stocking up on their favorite boxes of our delicious cookies. The pandemic continues to challenge us, but I am so impressed with our girls’ determination, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit. I can’t wait to see our girls in action, setting up “Lemonade Stands,” generating online sales, supporting drive-thru cookie locations, and perfecting their sales pitch at community booths. Remember, the Cookie Program is more than selling cookies. It’s the largest girl-led entrepreneurship program in the world. It’s an incredible opportunity for girls to develop lifelong skills central to the Girl Scout experience: goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics. It’s also about sharing joy with our neighbors in a difficult time. Best of luck to our Cookie Bosses (and families!) as you power through the 2021 Cookie Season safely to achieve your goals. We are so proud of you! Regards, Eileen M. Higgins Chief Executive Officer Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore March is Women's History Month.
