Fwd: FW: Nikki Haley's discriminatory comment

Discriminatory comment by Nikki Haley

I was appalled by Nikki Haley's comment whereby she "called for competency tests for politicians over 75 during campaign launch".  I am not saying this as a fan of current or past Presidents or in their defense.  Rather, I am one of those senior citizens that pays my taxes religiously and like many veterans,  sacrificed my life to protect others.  I think Nikki Haley and those who want to deter seniors from holding office because of their age are being discriminatory.  If Ms. Haley would check her stats, she would discover that the average age of our Congress who has created the mess we are in today is 59, far under the age of 75. In sharp contrast, the most respected and influential leaders of all time were over age 75, such as Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, and Gandhi.  I would ask Ms. Haley what she may enact if elected President, euthanasia of people over age 75?

Hi International,

As a merchant that connected Stripe to SendOwl, we're excited to announce that you can now upgrade your experience to SendOwl's new app for Stripe. Please note: while using our new Stripe App is not required today, it is a great option if you are looking to use SendOwl directly from your Stripe dashboard. 

To use our Stripe App, you'll need to update your experience in the App Settings page in your Stripe Dashboard. By completing this instant update, you'll be able to access SendOwl features and functionality directly in your Stripe dashboard, such as:

  • Create new digital products and sell via Stripe checkout or payment links directly in Stripe
  • Manage SendOwl orders directly in your Stripe dashboard (download limits, review order information, etc.)  to avoid going back and forth between the SendOwl and Stripe dashboards

Here are the quick steps to update our new app:

1. Go to the App Settings page in your Stripe Dashboard 
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and find SendOwl in the "Connect Extensions" section
3. Click 'Update' and you will be prompted to accept permissions to install the new app
4. Click 'Update' again and the new version of the SendOwl app will open in the right-hand drawer of your dashboard
5. Complete the onboarding process to get started

While this update is recommended now, it will eventually be required as Stripe is transitioning all existing extensions to Stripe Apps. Doing so now will save you a bit of time in the future when it is required. If you have issues completing these steps or need help, please visit the supporting help articles from Stripe and SendOwl. 

Thanks,
–The SendOwl Team

How to update to the SendOwl Stripe App:

1. A user with an existing extension that has a Stripe App available will see an option to update
2. Upon clicking 'Update' the user is prompted to accept permissions and install the app
3. The user can see their new app in the right-hand drawer and open the app to begin any required onboarding
4. A user can navigate to their installed app settings page to re-authenticate, uninstall, or manage app specific settings

Fwd: [Art-All-Night] Art All Night 26 planning committee meeting




Greetings Art All Nighters,

Art All Night is embarking on its 26th year of celebrating art, music, and performance in a free, non-juried, non-censored show!

We are planning on holding it at the end of April in a location to be determined. Art All Night needs one thing in order to be successful: a planning team of dedicated people to take on the responsibilities required for show preparation.

Art All Night Planning Members:
  • meet most Wednesdays from now until the end of April.
  • meet Saturdays in April to prepare a warehouse.
  • take on decision-making roles for certain aspects of the show.
  • are not alone-- members support one another and each have a voice.
  • work outside of meetings to fulfill responsibilities.
Being part of the team takes work, but it is also genuinely rewarding and super fun. If you are curious about learning more, come to the kick-off meeting Wednesday!

First Planning Meeting
when: 7:00 pm Wednesday February 1st
where: Hop Farm Brewing Company, 5601 Butler Street 15201 https://www.hopfarmbrewingco.com (go to the right - in the big room)

If you can't make the meeting but are interested please lets us know, there are lots of ways to help.

Any questions or comments? We would like to hear from you. Please email
info@artallnight.org

If the planning team is not for you, know that you are still needed! Over 250 volunteers help out during the event. Volunteer sign up information will be sent out in early April.
