Bibliographic record
Abstract
This book takes what is largely Newfoundland kitchen lore about beating the revenuers (pardon the American slang) and turns it into a readable account of liquor smuggling off the French islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon and on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland.Many readers would be familiar with smuggling from St. Pierre and Miquelon into the United States, but the author also covers entrepreneurial smuggling from the same islands into Newfoundland from the post-Second World War period up to the present.The book's strength lies in its treatment of the Prohibition era of the 1920s and 1930s.Thanks to the long interval of time since then and the availability of historical records, Andrieux covers this period well from a historical perspective.St. Pierre and Miquelon have capitalized on their history by building a local museum about smuggling and Prohibition.Andrieux spends the first 15 pages of his book documenting the rise of prohibition movements in the United States (from 1919) and Canada.He then describes how the first smuggler-entrepreneur, Bill McCoy, moved his smuggling operations from Nassau, the Bahamas, to St. Pierre and Miquelon early in the Prohibition era.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
