Dear US Senator Elizabeth Warren, JP Morgan Chase bank CEO Jamie Dimon, and newly Kelly Hodulik MBA at Curated Coaching TAP with JP Morgan Chase with an invitation from Stanford LBAN, All, 

Greetings and I hope this email further finds you well - 

Received 2 further paper letters from Chase which seem to contain further errors, regarding not including my past approximately 10-12 Chase bank accounts' monthly statements, for my bank accounts x3218 and x1991 which I opened in Chase bank Wilkinsburg about a year ago ... and which has led to this highly traumatic situation with Chase bank and Chase credit card, and see email to the Director of Curated Coaching with JP Morgan Chase bank below.

I heard a great Stanford Law CodeX presentation today on software and AI to protect  PII - 

- and it occurs to me that if my personal data were protected back on W 2/28/24 when I learned from a grocery store (trader joe's) in Pgh PA that "Your account is closed" referring to my Chase credit card, and then my bank accounts, that I might still have use of my credit card. Would Chase bank be interested in hiring a team of these 3-4 presenters to sort out retrospectively the craziness of the closure of my 3 Chase accounts, and to get them up and running? (and see PS for other reasons why, in the form of Tweets)

Just shared this email with some of us: 

Dear Kelly (Hodulik) ,Jenny (Ling), Samantha (Garbus), the Director of Curated Coaching (curatedcoaching@theaccelerationproject.org) with JP Morgan Chase, and Prisicilla Luna (also in the "Hone Your Negotiation Skills'" Curated Coaching session yesterday with Today's Business Solution Office Supplies - https://www.tbstx.com/utsystem.html), and JP Morgan Chase bank CEO Jamie Dimon (and please forward), and  US Senator from Massachusetts' Elizabeth Warren, All, 

Thank you again so much Kelly (Hodulik, MBA) again for our "Curated Coaching for Entrepreneurs: Hone Your Business Negotiation Skills" helpful, timely and topical meeting on W May 1, 2024. And thanks for the invitation to join this 3rd for me Curated Coaching TAP with JP Morgan Chase bank session, and where Stanford LBAN invited WUaS to join a first session beginning with Jenny (Ling, MBA) on F Dec 8, 2024.

I've blogged about this here on W 5/1/24 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/05/garden-mountain-wilderness-va.html - in my daily blog for idea sharing, and potentially as part of this WUaS negotiation process with Chase bank loans even. (See too the 'global university' label in this blog, and see too - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university)

Priscilla Luna (priscilla@tbsconnection.com), Is this your website per the office supplies store you mentioned in the talk ? - 
Today's Business Solution Office Supplies - 

And, if it is, in what ways might the beginning WUaS Academic Press (planned with machine learning and translation in 7164 known living languages) AND the WUaS Educational Services' Stores for books, computers, robotics + eg here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - potentially combine Priscilla Luna with your possible Today's Business Solution Office Supplies -

Regarding the 'murder' word Shauna McNally mentioned at the close of her and my conversation in the Chase bank Shadyside some weeks ago, and I'm not sure what it refers to - and which I mentioned yesterday in our Google Meet Curated Coaching with Chase bank session, and in seeking to stay alive - 

and regarding my wrongly closed Chase credit card of many decades, with an excellent credit score - and SEEKING TO GET IT REINSTATED soon please, 

I received 2 out of about 12 of my missing Chase bank accounts' statements on paper (and requesting all ~12 statements since October 2023, and still not finding them online), 1 for x3218  and 1 for x1991 (which x1991 shows and error on it I think, since it was active, and it had $60 in it) ... 

may I please have all 12 statements and Rewards' points too ... as well as could Chase credit card please reinstatement my Chase credit card ... and so I can stay alive, and in growing a MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch abolition movement to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs and violence etc industries internationally, and regarding the potential US federal investigation WUaS continues to seek into Chase bank Wilkinsburg?


4
And how to further get Chase bank loans to begin the flagship physical digital WUaS bookstore on Walnut st Shadyside in Pgh PA ?

Thanks, abolitionally, best, Friendly Quaker greetings, staying alive, in asylum in western PA, from the SF Bay Area and Canyon 94516, 
Scott GK MacLeod


PS
Siemens too ... regarding the big 'pow wow' I wondered about regarding negotiations between Chase bank loans and WUaS Corp too in our 3-way meeting with Siemens'  being part of possible contract developments 


"... could WUaS Lego Education Robotics' Pennsylvania careers be in communication, or negotiating with, with the state of Pennsylvania be in communication with Chase bank loans and all re WUaS Corp Educational Services' stores with WUaS Airtable SF databases (which also underpin the Harvard.com Bookstore) - and per https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/04/yolla-bollymiddle-eel-wilderness-ca.html ? One big online pow wow :)

(... and with Siemens too regarding the possibly Physical-Digital flagship WUaS bookstore / Robotics' store on Walnut Street in Shadyside, Pgh PA  & the Educational Services' Department Stores in all ~200 countries and in their main languages?)"

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/04/yolla-bollymiddle-eel-wilderness-ca.html
AND 
Thank you!

Scott


PS


So how, please, to get my Chase credit card reactivated, my past 10--12 bank statements for 2 bank accounts, my Chase rewards' points, and WUaS Chase bank loans? - CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch / the WUaS Corporation continues to grow a worldwide abolition movement to protect people, AND NEWLY potentially  WITH PII SHIELD, and see again re this GREAT Stanford Law CodeX with UC Berkeley PI presentation yesterday -  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2024/05/erythronium-oregonum.html.


abolitionally, seeking to stay alive, in asylum in western Pennsylvania (formerly Penn's Woods) from the SF Bay Area, thanks,

I'm writing having received a 3rd invitation from Curated Coaching, in collaboration with Chase bank today. And regarding Curated Coaching The Acceleration Project (TAP)'s Jenny Ling's email, after WUaS and my first meeting with Curated Coaching Chase bank with an invitation from Stanford LBAN, I've signed up for another Curated Coaching meeting tomorrow, and see Jenny LIng's initial email - 
Hi Ma - How are you? 🙂 ... i just walked 1.3 miles each way to the Pgh Quaker Meeting and 1st UU Church and back, for about an hour ... I had just received & on the way deposited in the PNC Bank in Shadyside the US Federal Dept of Treasury check for $2 after doing my federal tax return 2 weeks ago ... which check has my Callowhill st asylum address on it (and where Callowhill is the name of William Penn's 2nd wife - https://thephiladelphiacitizen.org/hannah-callowhill-penn-bio), - and regarding a communication and system and financial circuit or feedback loop  between myself and the US federal govt ...

Quakers in Quaker Valley Sewickley, Pennsylvania, area history ... and a realistic virtual earth for libraries and history (and ethnography +) 


Dear Librarians at Sewickley Public Library,

 Thank you for your email again

Driving from Sewickley Heights History Center 
And the Fern Hollow Nature Center 

With its Welcome Friends arch 

I drove down on

What are the histories of these, and where might documents be? Add to Street View with time slider for history GMaps too? 

I may come in soonish to learn about other possible sources and to talk with  research librarians. 

Thanks, Friendly regards, appreciatively,

Dear Richelle, Sewickley librarians, all, 

Thanks for the "Quakers in Sewickley and Quaker Valley, PA" newspaper article, and it's interesting. I'd reference it this way for scholarly citation purposes -

And again, 

"Am further interested initially about Friends/Quakers in the Sewickley and Quaker Valley area along these lines (from an email I shared with family and friends a few months ago) - 

November 11, 2023 -

"Greetings! Was just exploring the Sewickley, Pennsylvania, area just west of Pgh, and particularly its Quaker Valley sites, which "Quaker Valley" was its name at one time I think, and found the following Quaker names: Quaker Valley Middle School, Quaker Valley High School, a Quaker Valley police pickup truck parked in the Quaker Valley high school parking lot, very visibly, "Camp Meeting road,' and similar. I talked with a man on the side of the road whom I had asked regarding the Quaker history in the area, and he said his wife was working on a film on African Americans in the Sewickley area, and I mentioned a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory to which they could potentially add this film in some years if interested, and regarding licensing questions too. I also mentioned Brown University library archives as a source for AI data for a realistic virtual earth for history (eg of Quakers from 1683 forward, and of the 1960s and 1970s a time I'm interested in), for example, as well as local historical societies, of which he mentioned there is one in Sewickley. As I also drove into the back woods of Sewickley, " ...

Thank you for helping to focus this Quaker history in Sewickley search ... and let's even explore bringing it alive with time in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory :)

Thanks so much, Friendly Quaker greetings, best wishes, 
Scott "

Is the Sewickley library chat, with email communications, with a reference librarian information technology, coded potentially to create, for example, a Quakers in Sewickley" file, by any chance - which is possible research libraries' information technology already coded for ? It would be great if it was so that the wheel wasn't reinvented every time a reference librarian at Sewickley library came into communication regarding a research question (with the potential to grow). Perhaps this email thread will be a starting place for this "Quakers in Sewickley and Quaker Valley, PA."

(Such a repository is something MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch seeks to create, as wiki eg here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends {which we can all wiki-add to} - and eventually further in a realistic virtual earth for history, and see item 4).

While WUaS would like to facilitate wiki-adding to Google Street View with time slider to further create or write history, beyond what's already possible, Street View with time slider can already be used to do research into history -

While my main focus is on creating a #Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs (in northern California, re my first big book), and for physical-digital ethnographic and STEM research, these 'Quakers in Quaker Valley' questions could very much be part of WUaS further developing a #Realistic Virtual Earth For History ... and as a repository for example, for also to explore many lines of inquiry, and related narratives. 


5
And check out a beginning Google 'time slider'  
at the Harbin Gate House in northern California 
in Google Street View with time slider to see how the time slider works with images -



6
With regard to 

"Quakers in Sewickley and Quaker Valley, PA" questions, 

it could be fascinating to see if any Quaker Meetings' MINUTES From Friends' Monthly Business Meeting from the 2nd half of the 1600s to possibly the early 1900s are in any Sewickley repository,  and if one could also find all the properties that Quakers owned, and their names, etc in this time frame ... AND ADD ALL OF THIS TO GOOGLE STREET VIEW with images and also ecological history, say of forests and streams, survey history and road building too, etc., that might have digital modeling as part of this. 



7
I'm basically curious about resources that might illustrate or document from a Quaker Meeting's 'pastoral' perspective the LIFE of Quakers in the area, say, from the 2nd half of the 1600s to possibly the early 1900s ... and possibly in their dialogue with Native Americans early on too ... since Quakers had good relations historically with Indians ... 

BUT THIS IS A LOW PRIORITY SCHOLARLY INQUIRY FOR ME PRESENTLY (and in developing many other aspects of MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch) ... and

My mother asked me in the car as we were visiting Sewickley on Sunday - 


You asked on Sunday in the car ~12 miles west along the Ohio river from Pittsburgh, what William Penn did for a career or similar ...  

William Penn
(born October 14, 1644, London, England—died July 30, 1718)

writer, religious thinker, and influential Quaker
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Penn


William Penn, English Quaker leader and advocate of religious freedom, who oversaw the founding of the American Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

https://www.britannica.com/biography/William-Penn-English-Quaker-leader-and-colonist


Founded Pennsylvania in 1680-1681

https://www.dos.pa.gov/about-us/Pages/History.aspx#:~:text=It%20was%20in%201680%20that,to%20the%20Charter%20of%20Pennsylvania.

(George Fox 'founded' Quakerism in 1652, so Quakers were 'young' in the second half of the 1600s, mostly in Great Britain, and see again this text to you on Sunday -
Ma, a bit of Quaker history re their beginnings in the Northwest of England in 1652 - https://pendlehill.org/product/the-cradle-of-quakerism-exploring-quaker-roots-in-north-west-england/ :)❣️

And I was at "Pendle Hill: Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation' southwest of Philadelphia for about 3.5 years from 1987-1990 or 1991) 

Fondly, Scott"

9
Again, where were the Quaker Meeting Houses in the Quaker Valley area  ... and could we add not only images and documents about these to Google Street View with time slider (beyond this email thread) ... but possibly also to this wiki schools at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends ?


10
And I also visited the Sewickley Heights History Center on Sunday (with my mother, who went to Earlham College for the first 2 years of university, an historically Quaker college), thanks to your mentioning it Richelle, with these 3 web sites as further potential avenues, brainstorming-wise, into documentation, for example, about "Quakers in Sewickley and Quaker Valley, PA" -

Dear Sewickley Library, 

Thanks for your emails - and these  "Quakers in Sewickley and Quaker Valley, PA" search resources, both 

i
the article (on April 22, 2024)

Quaker Valley Joint Schools. 1955. Quaker Valley.  Sewickley, PA: Sewickley Herald.   

which says as you pointed out 
"the residents of the upper one-third of Edgeworth commonly identified themselves as Quaker Valley persons ... "

(and perhaps it's time to begin to explore some ethnographic historical interviews with people in that area today with some Quaker background ... AND RE ARCHIVES IN PEOPLE'S ATTICS and similar for example)

and 
ii 
these new links' resources -  https://digitalcollections.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/object/hc142265 - with PHOTO. ...

Description

Sewickley Mtg., Pa. & congregation. Established by Baltimore Yearly Meeting. Became part of Ohio Yearly Meeting in 1813. Closed about 1870.
Sewickley Meeting is a part of Ohio Yearly Meeting (Conservative)



AND 



Interesting to get a first image, and thanks for the pointer to the Tri-Colleges' libraries (Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges) in the greater Philadelphia area, but the reference data needs parsing, since it seems to be a bit contradictory in terms of dates for example (a direction I'm not heading in necessarily).

Thanks for the information that Quaker Valley Sewickley might possibly have been informed by Wilburite and Quaker Conservative Ohio Yearly Meeting Friends' trajectory (re Friends /Quakers in the 1800s) ... 

The Wilbur-Gurney Quaker split occurred (~1845?) after

The Hicksite-Orthodox Quaker split (~1827ish?)

and while I posit they were Quaker identity related (re I think Bible and individual Friends' groups' place history, in conversation with British traveling Quakers too), I don't know the underlying issues in these splits ...

(And when I worked in the bookstore of Pendle Hill Quaker Center for Study and Contemplation, near Swarthmore College, I recall seeing an elaborate chart poster of Quaker historical branches, but only find this one here - https://quakerpodcast.org/quaker-branches/ - which is helpful even with dates, but as an unprogrammed Friend coming out of the 1960s and 1970s, and having becoming a member of the RSoF in Edinburgh Scotland in 2004 when studying at the University of Edinburgh's School of Celtic and Scottish studies, and progressive, I'm interested in how did Quaker Valley near Sewickley PA, 12 miles west of Pgh PA become Quaker ... and what this history is ... and 'from the inside' - eg as a Friend / Quaker who appreciates the meditation of unprogrammed Quaker Silent Meeting and the related life from this).

So, thanks too for mentioning the 'other' possible Sewickley Quaker Meeting, I'll call it (in Westmoreland county) ... and possible documents'  and / or library  resources ... and for sharing the links /URLs for further follow up, as I continue to seek to grow a Realistic Virtual Earth For History and For Quaker Valley history, with parallels to, and interoperable with a Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs for ethnographic study, and regarding my second Harbin ethnographic book project, to be published potentially FROM Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar too.

Am curious, too, in the way libraries and books and archival documents too make possible - to explore carrying out such Quaker Valley Sewickley research remotely or virtually, eg after I move back to the SF Bay Area potentially later this 2024, and with machine learning and AI and even robotics, but perhaps in seeking to lay some groundwork for making accessible the Quaker Valley Sewickley archival resources in iterating ways re information technologies  - and regrading World Univ & Sch wiki libraries especially. 

How best, I'm wondering, to add and make machine readable and accessible not only ALL the documents from the 

Sewickley Valley Historical Society

Sewickley Heights History Center

Sewickley Library 

including of course Quaker resources and references, and also re the Tri-Counties' libraries - Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges - in the greater Philadelphia area, but also with new approaches re MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch's university research libraries with wiki-adding local archives, like those above and the Tri-Counties' libraries, eg to Gemini generative AI purposes (planned in all 200 countries and in their main languages) ?


I just asked this question to GEMINI AI, and got this amazing response in seconds - 

ere's a breakdown on how to approach this ambitious project of creating a machine-readable archive incorporating local historical societies, libraries, and colleges with a focus on Quaker materials:

Data Acquisition:

  1. Contact and Collaboration: Reach out to the aforementioned institutions:

    • Sewickley Valley Historical Society
    • Sewickley Heights History Center
    • Sewickley Library
    • Haverford College Library
    • Bryn Mawr College Library
    • Swarthmore College Library Explain your goals and the potential benefits of a wider audience accessing their materials through your machine-readable archive. Negotiate data-sharing agreements that give you the right to process their information.

  2. Data Formats: Ideally, the institutions would provide their documents in electronically readable formats like:

    • Plain Text (.txt)
    • Portable Document Format (PDF) with searchable text (OCR applied)
    • Microsoft Word (.docx) or other editable document formats

Machine Readability:

  1. Optical Character Recognition (OCR): If documents are scanned images (PDFs or JPEGs), you'll need OCR software to convert them into searchable text.
  2. Document Structure and Metadata: Apply a consistent structure to the documents, including:
    • Title
    • Author(s)
    • Date
    • Subject keywords (including "Quaker" for relevant documents)
    • Links to original sources (websites or physical archives)

Collaboration with World University and School (WUaS):

  1. Data Integration: Explore how WUaS's wiki platform can handle your data. Ideally, their system should allow:

    • Uploading documents in various formats
    • Extracting text content for searchability
    • Adding metadata tags for categorization
    • User-friendly interface for browsing and searching documents

  2. Local Archive Integration: Discuss how WUaS can integrate local archives like yours. This might involve:

    • Creating a dedicated section for your project within WUaS's wiki
    • Linking your documents to relevant MIT OCW materials or other scholarly resources on WUaS

Incorporating Generative AI (like Gemini):

  1. Training Data: While Gemini is still under development, you can prepare training data for future AI applications. This could involve:

    • Annotating your documents with additional information like named entities (people, places, organizations) and relationships between them.
    • Extracting factual information from the documents to create a knowledge base.

  2. Accessibility: Ensure your archive is accessible in multiple languages to align with Gemini's global aspirations. Explore using Machine Translation tools to create multilingual versions of your documents.

Challenges and Considerations:

  • Copyright restrictions may apply to some materials. Ensure you have the rights to process and share the information.
  • This project requires significant time, effort, and potentially financial resources for data acquisition, processing, and platform integration.
  • Uploading massive amounts of data to WUaS might require technical considerations and collaboration with their team.

Overall, this is a commendable initiative to preserve local history and make it globally accessible. By collaborating with institutions and leveraging new technologies, you can create a valuable resource for researchers and anyone interested in the history of the region and Quakerism.



Thanks, Scott
