The women were told the radium they were ingesting was not only safe but was ‘medicinal,’” said Bobby Funk, director and a member of the Theatre and Dance Department. “When women got sick, they were fired and when they died, other things were blamed. Finally, in 1936, a group of women, dying of radium poisoning, fought back, taking the company to court.” He added: “‘These Shining Lives,’ by Melanie Marnich, tells the true story of Catherine Donohue and her courageous friends as they fight for justice.” ETSU students appearing in the production are: Tarrin Chambers as Catherine Wolfe Donohue; Ivy Burgess as Frances O’Connell; Talon Shae Mincieli as Charlotte Agnes Nevins Purcell;Natalie Underwood as Pearl Payne; Eli Wilson as Tom Donohue; Ethan Marsee as Rufus Reed; Seth Buckles as Dr. Rowntree, radio announcer, son and Leonard Grossman; and Ellen Sautters as announcer, company doctor, daughter reporter, doctor, Dalitsch and Judge Marvel.

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; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
