Abstract
DAVID JOHNS, a deeply respected and loved member of the Toronto and Scarborough community, died on Sunday, 3 June 2012, at the age of 79.He had been in poor health for a number of years, and without question, showed great courage in his fight with a difficult health issue.Ed spent many summers in the Magnetawan area, where he met and fell in love with Jean Miller.They married on 15 October 1955 and were about to celebrate their 57th wedding anniversary.Born in Toronto, of Welsh descent, on 14 March 1933, his passing marked the end of a lifelong interest in birds, especially warblers and shorebirds.In 1944, at age 11, while delivering the Globe and Mail newspaper, one of his customers saw him admiring the birds in a front yard tree.This was his introduction to the world of woodwarblers and Ed was hooked for life.For some 35 years, Ed participated in the annual Toronto Christmas Bird Count and he played a key role over Volume 30 Number 3 165

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.
