Abstract
This summer, a group of like minded friends worked to establish PWB as a new non-governmental organization.Potters Without Borders (PWB) was formed out of our desire to establish a Canadian organization that would be a part of an international non-profit network which provides sociallyresponsible assistance to pottery groups and individuals.We offer technical training and consulting services and facilitate research, development, and commercial application of technology in the field of ceramics in developing countries.We are also excited to be involved with research and promotion of ceramic water filters.These filters are a result of a marriage of two known technologies, porous ceramics and colloidal silver.These simple effective filters make bacteria-free water economically using indigenous materials.We provide support to field technicians and help to set up to ceramic water filter workshops overseas.A portion of Northfire Pottery workshops at the O´Keefe Historic Ranch outside of Vernon B.C., is now used for ceramic water filter research and development. .We have now entered into relationships with the engineering faculties at both Seattle University and Gonzaga University in Spokane.In August, we were invited by Derek Baker of The Centre for Affordable Water and Sanitation Technology (CAWST) in Calgary, Alberta, to conduct ceramic water filter training at and exchanged ideas on the promotion of household water treatment (visit: www.cawst.orgfor more info.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
