A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver, the lone ranger. During the years of unrest that followed the Civil War, a powerful secret organization called the Legion of the Black Arrow sprang up in the western United States. Its members were to be found everywhere, defying the law or using the law for their own purposes, working toward the ultimate goal of revolt and the foundation of a despotic empire. It was the masked rider of the planes who led the fight against this band of outlaws and traitors, and for once his great strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness were taxed to the utmost in the cause of democracy. Return with us now to those thrilling days when the West was young. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse, Silver. The lone ranger rides again. Come on, Silver, run the trail of the Black Arrow, Hail, Silver! While the night winds stirred the trees, the dark forms of two men made their way toward a small cabin built many years ago by a hunter. The cabin had been abandoned for some time, but on this particular night it was a meeting place and a dim light shown in one window. That's the place. I reckon the rest of the boys are there already. Looks that way, truck. Just what's the reason for this meeting? You don't know? I don't know a thing. I've never told what goes on. All I ever get told is who to rob or who to shoot. Do what's told me and get paid according. Maybe you're invited to the meeting tonight to be made more of a member of the outfit. Not me. Why not, but? I'm satisfied with things as they stand. I do my work and collect my cash. I'd as soon not be a full member of the gang. I've known too many members that have been killed off because they knew too much. Here we are. Oh, a secret way of knocking on the door, huh? Come on in. Go ahead, butch. Hey, what's that man got his head covered with that sideboard? He's the boss. I want us to know who he is. Sit down here. Left your horses back when you were told it didn't take you. Sure. Quiet down. We're going to start the meeting. Now then, for some time the Lone Ranger has been in our way. Now he's going to be gotten rid of. That's why this meeting was called. I've had word there's a girl who helps him by getting information. We've at last learned one thing about that girl. She's living in or near the town of Clifton. That's how our last plans got out. She heard of him and told the Lone Ranger. That's right. He spoiled everything for us and landed some of our men in jail. So that's it. That's why I didn't get the chance to earn my shooting money. That's the reason. That's why my pal Jurgans landed in jail and why he's there right now waiting to be hung. Look at here, mister.  Well? I've got a score to settle with this here, Lone Ranger. And if a girl helped him, I've got to settle with her, too. A girl helped him? We're sure of that. I'm not one of your outfits in the true sense of the word. I just do special work for you from time to time. But I've got a score to settle. My pal Jurgans is to hang. I've got to get them that are responsible for it. Now wait a minute. This meeting wasn't called to hear you talk. Let me finish. I'm almost done. I'll be quick. Just let me know who the girl is. Let me know where to find the Lone Ranger and that red-skinned named Tano, too. I'll drill all three of them. Won't charge a thing for doing it. I called this meeting to outline my plan to get the Lone Ranger. I expect he'll be here tonight. I let the word go out that we were to meet at 10 o'clock. I figured the girl would hear of it and let the Lone Ranger know. He's to think we've got some special plans to go over. After you'd all heard of the meeting for 10 o'clock, you were told very secretly to be here early. I figured that we'll have time to get ready for the Lone Ranger's call. When he comes, I'll drill him. You listen to me. If he's shot or captured here, his horse and that Indian might escape. But we'll at least have the Lone Ranger. I want more. I don't know how much information he has about us. He may have considerable. We'd like to get away from him. He might have it in his pockets or it's more likely he'll have it in his saddlebags. Maybe hidden in his camp. I want him to come here, think he's out with us and right away. Get away! Quiet! He won't get away for long. I'll promise you that. Hey boss, what sort of information do you think he'd have? I don't know. For one thing he might have something that would tell us who the girl is. He might have some letters that would tell us who else we've got to be on guard against. Maybe he doesn't have anything. But I'm going to find out. As the hour of ten drew near, the Lone Ranger and Sonto guided their horses slowly through the woods toward the cabin. Air, air light and window. Otto, I wonder how long it can last. How long what last? This mysterious girl has been a great help. Sooner or later she must be found out by the outlaws. Then what? Being not known. Not knowing her, how can we help her? We don't even know what she looks like. Girl not want us to know. There were only some way that we could guard her. Whenever three or four days go by without word from her, I wonder if she's fallen into the hands of our enemies. She must have been. Look down there. See through a window. Men sitting around the table. Rain or puddle. I'll go ahead on foot as we bring the horses up slowly. The information we received is correct. As Kirk's are meeting to discuss some new instructions they've had from their headquarters. Not right. I want that information. Someday if we can learn the identity of the leaders of the Black Arrow, we'll put an end to it. Otto hopes so. Keep us out of wait. What's the matter? Someone come this way. Me get him now. Oh, wait. You've not get away from me yet. Let me speak. Don't make so much noise. You come this way. I gotta speak to the Lone Ranger. I wasn't sure this was him. Who are you? Let me get my breath. I'm almost mashed in from the way Taro jumped on me. I hear you and I'm underbrushed. I've been waiting there. Listen to me. What I got to say is important. A girl sent a message. What's that? Be careful. They'll hear you. You gotta get away from here. Turn back and travel fast. It's a trick to capture you. Who did you say sent you here? A woman. She just says telling the girl made a mistake. The crooks met early to set a trap for you. Didn't she give you a written message? No. She said you couldn't read it in the dark.  Turn back. You gotta do it. When did you get this message? Tonight. Just a little while ago. I had to ride hard to get here before you did. So the outlaws have a trap? They have. I don't know what kind of trap it is. But they're scheming to get you. Taro too. Take charge of him, Taro. I'm trying to do it. No, no way. Please, believe me. When we leave here, we're going to take you with us. I'll go with you. I'll be glad to. Only get away from here now. We'll get away as soon as I get what I came after. Better get a rope on him, Taro. Uh-huh. What's your name? Jack Fulton. I live in Clifton. Did you see the girl who gave you the message? Yes, but it wasn't her. Good. I'll have some questions to ask you later. She said you would. Oh, she did? Yes. Oh. That rope is tight. Me loosening it. Not want to hurt you. Only make sure you stay with Taro. I'll be back in a few minutes, Taro. Have Silver ready for a quick getaway. Uh-huh. Oh, but Mr. Thanks for the warning, Jack. I'll be on guard. Talk along now to see if the Lone Ranger shows up. Remember what I said. We won't forget, boss. Now, uh, these papers I've gotten as envelope are the most important ones we ever had. We had a hard time getting them here, but they're here. That's all that counts. When I've passed them around, so you all can read them, you'll see what I mean by saying they're important. I'm sure anxious to have a look at them. Why don't he pass them?  He's only waiting for the Lone Ranger to show up. So he don't intend to pass them around at all. As I said a minute ago, these papers, and there's quite a pack of them in this envelope, are mighty important. Fact is, we'd be just about done for if we were to lose them. Don't move. What's that? That's still. Keep your hands on the table. The Lone Ranger. He's the one. He's the one that's a blame for Jail and my friend. Keep still. I won't keep still. That's the Lone Ranger. You don't owe me, do you? Well, I'm called Butch. My pal Jurgen is in jail right now. That's where he should be. If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't be there. You caught him. He's going to hang. Yes, for murder. It's too bad he can hang but once. Well, he's going, but you're going first. Butch, stop him.  I'll show you. Oh, my hand. My hand hurts. Anyone else ready to draw and shoot? Do something. My hand. Your hand's all right. My bullet hit your gun. No more shooting. Every one of you keep your hands on the table like that man said. What do you want here? Toss that envelope to me. Throw it at my feet. Here. You got what you came after.  No, I won't do that right now. It would be very handy for several of you to jump me. Remember this. Father was outside. They wouldn't try to follow me out the door. He'll wish he hadn't. Let me go after him, will you? Let me go after him. Oh, I get another score to settle with him. Look at my shooting eye and that handle with all the matches. Watch this. Well, Butch, you very nearly spoiled everything with that gunplay of yours. I've got to get that masked man. I've got to do it. Well, you'll get him, but not that way. No man alive can expect to draw and shoot fast in the Lone Ranger. Anyhow, that wouldn't help as much as my plan. He got the envelope and got away, boss, just like you figured. Sure he did. And what he sees in that envelope won't do any harm to us. Now, where is he likely to go with it? Where? Curly, I don't know. To his camp, isn't he? I reckon so. Wherever it is, that's where he'll go. And we'll follow him. We'll get him there and find everything he's got together about us. Then when he's shot down, there won't be a lot of evidence for someone else to use against us. I still say we should have drilled him when he was here. How can you follow him to his camp? Because I planned on it. I had stuff spread all over the ground on the approach to this place. I don't care how far the Lone Ranger rides. His horse will leave a trail that a good hound won't have any trouble following. That's why I didn't want you boys to bring your horses here. My juniper, the boss is sure smart. Yeah, but where will the hound you was talking about come from? Got one all lined up. We'll have it here inside of an hour. And by daybreak, we'll have the Lone Ranger surround him. When we get to our cave, Tutto, we can get some light and see what this envelope holds. Matt, good. Are you all right, Jack? I'm all right. But the trap the girl told about might still be set. I think I know what the trap was. Some of those men had bags over their heads. They knew I wouldn't shoot them if they refused to take them off. They knew the only way I could see who they were was to remove them myself. Well, if I tried that, they could have jumped me. Well, look, I got one more question. You know the message I brought you? Yes? The one a woman gave me? Why, didn't the girl give it to you? No. It was an old woman. Do you know who she is? The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. The wind had died down by the time the outlaws left their hideout in the woods. They rode across the open plain following a dog. Look here, truck. Right in the boss' ride with us. He never does. He makes the plans. We carry him out for you. Never once showed us his face. Now I'd like to know who he is. You know, it's good sense not to be curious about some things, butch. Only wondered that song. I wonder how far this trail goes. I don't know. It's like idea to have that strong smell of powder spread on the ground so as the Lone Ranger's horse can walk in it. The boss is full of slick schemes. Remember, I'm the one that's had the first chance to shoot the Lone Ranger. The hand still hurts from the way he shot away my gun. You'll get your chance. You'll get it before daybreak. It's a sure big cave. He brought the horses right in with you. High and wide, Jack, but not very deep. Me picks mine. All right, Tutto. I'll take the rope off Jack's hand. I don't think you'll try to escape, Jack. Well, I should say not. I don't want to escape from you. I want to help you. I wouldn't have tied you in the first place, but we can't take chances. There you are. Thanks. Your wrist hurt? No. That rope wasn't tied. Bring the candle to the rear, Tutto. You've got to see what's in the envelope. Maybe ask Christian, too. Yes. Jack, what did you mean when you said the message was from an old woman? She was an old woman.  What I could see if it under the bonnet she wore. Her voice. What was her voice like? Well, that was like an old woman's. I'll sort of cackle and crack. And that reminds me. What? She told me that you'd probably ask some questions about her and she said that I should hand you this note if you doubted that I'd talked to her. Why didn't you tell me you had a note from her? Well, she said to wait until you asked questions. Oh, here's the note. Hello. Are you getting out the information we have on the black arrow? Ah, me have it ready. Plenty quick. What does she say? Great pain to disguise myself. Boy thinks I'm an old lady. I see. So she knew I'd try to learn about her from you. Huh? Jack, the woman you saw was a girl all right. She was disguised so I couldn't learn anything about her from you. Oh, gee. I'm sorry. Funny. What matters? This envelope didn't come from the east. The east didn't come by mail. What in time? We'll know in a minute. I sure hope so. Hello. What matters? Blank paper. Look at this. No word on paper. Not a thing, Alice. What do you think? Here, take this sheet I'll take another. Hold it in the heat of that candle. See if there's any secret writing on it. There's no time to not serve it with a chemical. It won't show until it becomes warm, Jack. The system has been used to send messages through armies or to men in prison. No word showed yet. There's no question about it. The paper has no writing. But what does that mean? That's what I'd like to know. I sound like a hound. I don't know. That hound. Thought that candle. That sounds like Bill Tatum's dog. Who's Bill Tatum? Oh, he's the lawyer. He wants to come this way. No. Jack, keep well back in the cave. No, it's not. Not come near now. You stop. We may have a fight on our hands. Call us. I'll answer them. What do you want? We've got the caves around it. You can't get out of there. What about it? You can take your choice. What if we don't come out? If you want us, come and get us. He must have it. Him right? There's no other way out of cave. Yes, I know it. Maybe time to make break, try to run through. No, you wouldn't have a chance, Otto. They made their plans well. Let me try and get out.  They made their plans. But what are they after? They want Otto and me in the evidence we have here, Jack. We surrender as they ask. They'll shoot us just as quickly as they would if we went out fighting. Dirty crooks. He must have it. Look over there. They're starting to fire. They're starting to smoke us out. Otto, pour hot water we have in the can teemed over our bandanas. Protect Jack when the smoke starts rolling in here. Oh, never mind me. Keep face close to ground. We'll stay here as long as we can. Truck and the other outlaws build a huge smudge fire where the wind would blow the smoke into the cave. In spite of all the lone ranger could do, the smoke tortured everyone in the cave. From time to time in the next half hour truck called out You can still surrender. Walk out one at a time with your hands high. The reply was always the same. If you want us Just keep piling stuff in the fire, butch. I can't stand the smoke much longer. Even if he does come out with his hands up, I'm going to shoot. You know what you're told. I'm in charge now. Someone's coming. Beware. Keep that dog quiet. Yonder, you can just make out the radio. Even a book boy. Oh, shoot. Oh, no, wait. Let's see what is. Woman's handling the rain. Yeah, sure enough. Stop right there. You're in charge here, eh? What do you want? Where are you from? From town. I got orders from the boys. Yeah? You want that mask man out in the cave, don't you? Well. All right. I'll get him out.  We're smoking him out. He's a suffocate before he'd surrender. Now, stand aside. You say that you got orders from the boss? How helpful I know what to do. Who is that old woman? I don't know. You heard what she said. How'd she know where to come? I suppose the boss told her. Yeah. Well, answer me this one then. How could the boss tell her where to come if he didn't know himself? Hm? He had to have the blood down so that he'd know where to come, wouldn't he? And he went to all the trouble of playing in the night's business. Just so as a lone ranger would lead us to where he hides the evidence he's collected. And if the boss knew where this place was, we could have just come here. Why, Sunder, that's right. Well, it don't matter. The woman is trapped now. She can't get away. We'll capture her as well as the lone ranger and Toto. There was ample room in the cave for the newly arrived horses in wagon. Toto, you and Jack tie wet clothes over the nostrils and eyes of those horses, the same as you did with scout and silver. Huh? Me pick up and protect yourselves the same way. Here, get close to the floor. There is better. Why did you come here? I had to warn you. How did you know where I was? Isn't it obvious that I guess it is, but you sent Jack to warn me. I learned more of the scheme. There was an envelope, supposed to be the plans. The plans are fakes, part of a scheme to trap you. The envelope held blank paper. The gang probably thought I already had some evidence against the black arrow, and they wanted to know where it was hidden. They let me take the envelope so they could follow me here. Now, you've come right into the trap. Oh, I don't count. By the time I realized the cave was guarded by those crooks, it was too late to turn back. Those clothes? For the time being, I can't let you know who I am. White hair. A wig? It's getting worse all the time. We're going to get out of here. Tonto, I'm hitched those greys, put scout and silver in the traces. How to do it? I'll help. What's your plan? How can I stay? I don't think the outlaws will notice the switch of horses in the darkness. At least nothing to work close to them.  Yes. If we can just catch those men off guard for a split second we might get through. Stay down now. We're ready. I'll help with those horses, Tonto. We're ready. Tonto. With the horses, Tonto. We're ready. We're ready to go. We're ready, Tonto. Tonto. We're ready. We're ready. We're ready. We're ready. We're ready. Now my head real slow. We want to question you. Butch, you keep a gun on her. Best you keep watching that cave right. Right. All right. Rain up right here. The wagon halted. The truck and butch advanced. Their guns leveled. But suddenly a voice rang out in the rear of the wagon. Get down, I'll take the reins.   Come on, stop. Come on, cylinder. You made it.  They're still firing. They're getting the horses now. Count and Silver can pull the wagons till I run their fastest horses. Come on, boys. Faster, faster. The light wagon bounced crazily behind the racing horses with a familiar voice of the lone ranger shouting, Faster, stop. Come on, cylinder. Then when the outlaws had been outdistance, the pace slowed to a steady low. We're nearly to town. If you'll stop, I'll go the rest of the way on foot. We're going right into town. But you needn't. You can unhitch and take your horses. Leave the wagon. We have work to do. I want the leader of that outlaw band. But he's not known. Jack said it was Bill Tatum's hound that led the outlaws. Well, I know, but, well, that wouldn't... I have other evidence. I want to see the sheriff. Sheriff, I want to speak to you. Bill Tatum.   I've been robbed. I want a posse sworn in at once. Now, who? I know my rights. Don't forget I'm a lawyer. What have you lost? What's been stolen from you? My team of grays, my light wagon. Gone right from my barn. You don't see. You got any ideas? Who told you? Sheriff, what the... Never mind your gun. Mask, who are you? I'm glad you're here, Tatum. It's saved going after you. What are you doing here anyhow? Sheriff, this man is the one who's been directing the work of a gang of thieves and murderers. He keeps his head covered when he meets them. That's not true. This paper envelope came from your office, didn't it? Yes, but I... You supplied it to set a trap for me. You didn't think I'd live to use it against you. The hound your men use belongs to you. The paper was likely stolen from me. So was the hound. I meant to tell you, Sheriff. My hound was stolen too. My team, my wagon and my hound. You'll find your team where you sent your men. Your wagon is outside. I came here in it. What? Sheriff, I've accused this man. Search his home and office. If you don't find the sack with holes cut out for the eyes, the sack he used to hide his face when he met his men, he can bring charges against me.  You know I've got to make my charges stand. Will you let the Sheriff search your house? No. Well, I... What's the matter with you, Tatum? You look downright flabbergast. Some man speak up. Is there any reason why you won't permit a search? Sheriff, I'll admit it. This man is right. I'll plead guilty to his charges. Well, I'll be doggone, Tatum.  You're not even arguing. I'll tell you why. You will not. He doesn't want his place searched. He's sooner plead guilty to one charge and have a search made. He's afraid of what else might be found. Sheriff, I'll plead guilty. That ends it.  I'll put the handcuffs on you, Tatum. And then when you're in jail, we'll see what else can be turned up. No, no, don't please, Sheriff. I beg you. Don't do any more. Please, don't please. Stop your sniveling, Tatum. It looks to me like there are plenty to do with you before we're through. But where'd that mask man go?

Women's groups and progressive sections are continuing to hold massive protests across Poland against the anti-abortion ruling by the country's constitutional court. This has forced the conservative government led by the Law and Justice Party, which is the PIS, to delay the implementation of the verdict, which was otherwise supposed to go in effect from November 2. Under popular pressure, President Andrei Duda has proposed certain dilutions to the ruling. Prime Minister Mateusz Moriaki has also stated his willingness for discussions with the protesters and the opposition MPs before implementing the ruling. Under the instigation of the government, the Polish constitutional court had ruled on October 22 that abortions in the case of fetal defects are unconstitutional. The ruling modified the 1993 law on abortion, which states that pregnancy termination is only permitted in cases of rape and incest, in cases where the pregnancy poses a risk to the women's health, and in case of fetal defects. However, even before this ruling, Poland had one of the strictest legislations on abortion access in the region. This forces between 100,000 to 150,000 women to travel abroad every year for the procedure. The court's decision will further limit access to this fundamental reproductive right. Since the ruling women's rights groups, including the National Women's Strike, the Polish-left Ljueka Razem and other liberal sections have been protesting across the country. According to reports, over 100,000 people demonstrated in Warsaw on October 30, condemning the anti-perman verdict. The National Women's Strike has alleged that several of its activists have been intimidated by the police for organizing the protests. Supporters of the right-wing PIS have also tried to disrupt rallies against the anti-abortion verdict at various places. The struggles following the recent judgment are only the latest wave of a decades-long movement. The struggle began in 1993 amid a movement of great upheaval and chaos in Poland, which was undergoing the transition to a new liberal capitalist society. The government at the time was led by Solidarnosk or Solidarity. The church had been a key ally of Solidarnosk during the 1980s when it was opposing the communist government. The new government, which came to power after the fall of communism, repaid the support by implementing policies and laws in line with the church's conservative stance. So despite widespread opposition and a petition with over 1 million signatures, in 1993 the government changed the legislation regarding abortion, which had been legal under the communist government. The 1993 legislation only allowed for voluntary termination of pregnancy in cases of incest, rape, threat to the mother's health, and fetal defects. And now the provision for fetal defects has been removed as an exception. The incursion into the private sphere of Polish women and to society as a whole by the church and their allies has gotten progressively worse especially after the hard dried PIS government came to power in 2015. The PIS and its allies have received international backing as well. According to an investigation published by Open Democracy, US President Donald Trump's personal lawyer J. Sekilow and the American Center for Law and Justice played an active role in supporting the courts and the abortion ruling. The Constitution Court's ruling to restrict abortion is part of a larger conservative onslaught in Poland led by the PIS. However, all such efforts have been met with the resistance on the streets and in parliament. Lueka Razep, for example, remains committed to fighting for a vision of Poland for everyone. The left party, along with the organization Women's Strike and dozens of others, has vowed to remain on the streets to resist this latest conservative attack.


Yeah, hello everybody. It's a great pleasure for me to tell you somehow a continuation of our project two and a half years ago. I already reported about this citizen science project which started actually in 2019 and it actually was finished last year, this year in February. And yeah, so some things have happened in the last two and a half years, so it's okay. So the title was Cati and Franzi. I have to explain it, I think. Cati stands for Catasta Tirol, but it also stands for Catarina, so this was one thing. And the other thing is that Franzi is a Catasta, so this is Franz II and it's somehow a bit funny to call him Franzi, because that's the smaller form of Franz and yeah, this was there. Main idea to have clear names for the interfaces. What do you see here was actually the main idea of the project that we wanted to use Transcribos to recognize all the documents of a collection which I will show you later on a bit more in detail and to set up a first search interface so that people can very early search the documents they are interested in, in this case land registers. And the idea was to have first this searchable version, actually this was the very first read and search interface. And then to go on with citizen science and to go on with more, that the scientists add more data to the database. But actually it was so successful or the project was so successful and the citizen scientists were working so quickly that we said okay we will not publish this search interface but simply focus on the citizen science project. So that's the reason why you will not see very much of Transcribos in this project. Transcribos was this first search interface, but you really will get some information now on the citizen science project itself. The background is what we call the Franciscan Cadasta. It's the first land register in Austria, so a real land register combining maps. It is a rather high resolution, 1 to 2880 and the register where the owner is mentioned, the name of the owner, the number of the parcel, the type of usage of the parcel, which is very interesting of course if you know it was a house or it was a meadow or a wood or whatever. And the size of the project could be rather large, so the whole of the Austrian Hungarian Empire was actually recorded with this Cadasta and it took about 50 years actually and it's about the size of today's Germany. But of course we are concentrating just on a very small part of this, just the northern part of Tyrol, so actually where we are here. All together these are likely more than 30 million parcels for the whole Austro-Hungarian part, but about 1.5 million here for Tyrol. The digitization of the maps actually took place some time ago. It was done by the Bundesamt für Eichenvermessungswesen, so by the Austrian government, but the land registers themselves, so where the interesting information was recorded, this was something which was not available so far and was part of the project to digitize these documents. These were about 180,000 pages which were needed to be digitized and then ran through Transcribos and made available via searching. Now the actual CADTI project is the Citizen Science project and we simply support the users a little bit with AI so they can see the transcription but most of them can read the current writing rather well, so they usually don't need it and it's really a manual task. The manual task consists of actually two sub-tasks. One is to underline the parcel in the map and the other one is actually to record the data from the land register. As I said the project started in late 2019 with a prototype version and became really progressive some months later, so mainly in early 2020 and now it's running on a very stable basis so that we hope to conclude it in 2025. Here are some results which are very similar to what we have heard before. We also never tried to involve a lot of people but we tried to involve people who are really committed. In our case this was rather simple because we have here entire the situation that each Commune appoints a person which is called the local chronicler, so someone who cares about the local history of the Commune and these are typically very similar to what we have heard before, retired people, typical teachers or public servants and others who feel somehow responsible for the history of the local region and most of them were really easy to convince that they take part in this project. As you can see here, five of them did about two-thirds of the work. Also this is very typical for this kind of citizen science project that only a small portion of people is really, really enthusiastic and working very hard and there is even one person, she's really amazing, she did never stop. I don't have the figures for now but at least within nine months she spent about 1,100 hours. So it's a lady and she's about 65. I think she has, she's not retired so she always stayed at home and she simply loves to put in data. She's a very modest person, would never try to get the audience for her work but just does it for her own reward. These data, where we had a closer look for the nine months from September 2020 to June 2021 and as you can see about 312,000 entries were made and this is, yeah, was somehow a fifth of what we expected that will be necessary. But yeah, the success, so from our point of view, the project is really a great success and we tried to identify some of the success factors. First of all I would say it's really also the type of source. I will show it later on to you. It's simply nice. It's simply very beautiful maps. You get such a lot of information out of it. You have access to these maps which is not that easy usually to get on the internet and you can connect it with the data so that the information is even more fruitful and more interesting and that's, from my point of view, really, really one thing. It's not boring. It's interesting. Then yeah, these local people who are interested, who are willing to work and the main thing really which is important for them is this kind of acknowledgement that they get both on the local side, so the mayor of the commune and friends and other people know that they're working on this, so there is a kind of thank you culture from this side. Of course, we tried to support them and we also, I think it was also a good decision to tell them that we will not prove read actually their work because it would have been too much work for us. We got 200,000 euro for developing the technical background but we got hardly some money actually to support them from this dedicated people and so we trusted on them and on their quality and they are really, really trying to provide a good quality and they know of course each other so they are also asking each other if there are problems and of course they come to the main supporter. In our case, is Gerhard Siegel, a historian who is also personally interested in this and that's the person they always can ask. Also Miriam supports them on the technical level. There is some acknowledgement by the university so we invited them for a similar public event and this will go on of course once we go to the public in a more official way. And the other thing was that I think we provided a simple interface, also a very simple organization. People know I'm responsible for this and that, mainly my own commune. They have to really commit themselves so they have to write an email to us and say I want to do this commune and then they are somehow responsible. They can add other people to build up a workforce but usually they work one or two people in one commune. And then the interface didn't change very much so after first adaptations that stayed stable and it's working rather simple. I will show you. The first level support was done mainly by phone and email. For recruiting the people we also used face-to-face workshops where we invited them and introduced the program to them. Here you see the start page, an overview of the map of the commune where you need to type in the parcel number and here's input for the protocols. But I try to give you now demos so that you get a real understanding how it works. If it works, now you have to say yes. It's like the anniversary. I'm not willing to let us do that. Sorry, no. I can try. Do you have it in mind? Okay, so this is the start page what people see. And yeah, the information is rather simple. It's called a web platform for users. It's just in German. And here you see the progress which was done in the last 24 hours. So about 934 entries were made, 9,000 in the last seven days, 35,000 in the last 30 days and nearly 800,000. So we reached already half of what we think that is the whole number. You see the most active of the last seven days, the most active projects. And if you want to take part, then it's really very, very simple to write an email and to get the links to the communes. If you're logged in, then you can see this is not public but just for people who are registered and you can see who has worked what. So you can see that Gerhard Siegeri did nearly 180,000 entries, 20-22 percent. It's not totally fair. She is much more busy and has done a lot more because she did the harder stuff. So here 135 more. And all the others you can see also per project. Project means here in this case commune. And you can also see the activities from the very beginning of the project. So this was the better phase. And then people really started to work. They were actually finished. It was not summer in this case. Nothing happened. But it was mainly that the maps were not available. And then we were able to connect all the maps. And so people were really happy and working enthusiastically. And again, there was a workshop and new people started to work. Now, if someone wants to work, he would go actually to the commune and here see a page with the tasks. So a short description. Again, you could see the other users who has worked on that. The activities for this project, some information and so on and so on. And then here the off government tasks. One task, as I said, is to mark the number within the parcels. So that's the nice task. You see the map. And what we do is to underline the parcel number and to provide the data. And that's simply done here. So you just put this line and type in the number and that's it more or less. So that can be done quickly. And the other task requires a bit more time. And it's about the land registers. The land registers divided between buildings and real estate. So here you see also the status of the parcels. So we could go for new and select the page. Here you see the land register with the parcel number, the names, the profession of the person, the address, then the type of usage of the parcel, the size of the parcel, and sometimes some remarks. And three years ago we didn't have actually table recognition. So we used a very, very simple system. Today of course we would solve this in a much more convenient way. We would run or we would train a table recognition. And then we are sure that we would get very good results on the table cells. But at that time this wasn't possible. So we followed a similar approach that we said, okay, you mark the line where you are working or where you are working and then you get a form. But it seems to have a problem because it opens in a new window. Usually it's shown here. So I think that has to do with the presentation. So here opens simply a form where people can type in. But the form could be pre-filled if we would have actually the table recognition included. And one of the important things is that people can copy the data, which makes it much faster for them actually to work. And because of course the owner and sometimes the usage type and so on and so on stay the same and you can optimize this. So this is Cathy and as I said people are working with this and entered 800,000 records. So let's go on with this. Francie is now the idea to use this data and to make a public interface for searching. We are working on this since more than a year and we had several attempts. Probably at the beginning we tried to build up a kind of dashboard. We were very ambitious. We wanted to have filters, diorograms, tables and all should work together. But that became really a bit complicated and not really user friendly from my point of view and also a lot of bugs were included. So we made a cut and said, okay, let's do it in a very, very simple way. And just provide a browse and search interface but you are able to search for all the data from the records for names, professions, commons and so on. Of course to link the database with the map and to provide all data for free download as a CSV file for the public. So we orientated all also a little bit on Google Maps and so maybe you could call it Google Maps for disaster data. Yeah, that's how it looks like and I will show you now the prototype. So what you can see here, the red, so the colors are maybe not that nice but red means that it's still under in progress and blue means that the commone is already done. And here's a simple search interface and we can type in a name like Josef, a very popular name in Austria and the first level shows you 187 commons I think where Josef can be found and we could look at the commone. We could also directly search Josef and the commone. Now it should have, yeah, so we find here just the Josefs in Wilton and we can show the parcels. So here we see now the parcels selected from Josef, I can't read it from here unfortunately, but you see the names and you see also here we means Wulgul, so that's the house name. In Tyrol many people had the names also of their houses and you see also the profession, so E.G. Bauer, so Pharma. And you could even select this and then it selects just the farmers and in this way we try to make it convenient for the users to see what is actually there. If we click away the search then we get all the data which are already typed in and we can also have a closer look. We could filter E.G. for worn-gabiders or for building or for other parts and of course we can look what is this parcel or if I'm interested in this parcel it should also work. Yeah, so that's the simple interface more or less and that's what we will provide to the public likely in the next two or three months I would say. It's already working but some things probably need to be improved. Yeah, I think this was it from my side. Thank you. Perfect, thank you very much. Are there any questions? Yeah, microphone is coming. Yeah, exactly. So thank you Gunther for this wonderful presentation. As I told you yesterday we had quite some success with using your own baseline model training to actually automatically transcribe these annotations on maps. Is this something you would consider doing before releasing the product or perhaps in the future as an update to the current system? I think for this project we will not touch it. We don't have any resources anymore so it's really running on a I do it as part of my university job and also the others are doing it just as part of their job so there is no money around. But so yeah it would be nice because it would of course speed up the process for the volunteers but yeah.  Yes, thank you Gunther. I was wondering I cannot read the URL but is this a public thing we can look at at home? Yes, you can. Can you spell it or increase the font size? Drop me an email and I will send it to you. I will keep it a bit. We don't want to make it really public but of course if you're interested I'm fine. Yes, we have heard now let's say different strategies how to handle the quality assurance of let's say the the crowd working place from let's say having proof ring or having not. I'm wondering if you have considered double keying in some project maybe you or the former speakers can also give an answer. Thank you for this question. I think that's really important. It probably depends on the data of course but I think citizen science projects really are helpful if there is no proof reading from someone else. Because you will experience that Yolanda Griezmaier which typed in 130,000 parcels I'm sure she could do also proof reading for others. So it's what I want to say is it becomes much more expensive if you plan your crowd sourcing project with this extra reviewing phase. But if you like Wikipedia you couldn't pay Wikipedia if there would be 20 people or 500 people working on that. Just to see if everything is correct. I mean the system is really open and if there is a mistake they can change it. And of course if you have maybe data where death and life maybe is dependent on it I would use double keying but usually it's not that bad. So I clearly say that it is also more motivating for the citizen scientists to know that they are not controlled but they have the full responsibility and it's a kind of trust you show to them and that makes them work much better than if they have the feeling oh well someone will look at it anyway. And that's also a bit the difference between students and retired people that the retired people usually work very carefully and with students the enthusiasm will go away and it's not so important for them. Okay I've got a question here. Hi Gunther this is a question, GIS related question? Behind this I mean that's interesting. The map comes from the ArcGIS server and probably that's known it's a it's a big company in the US which is more or less a monopolist on this. So the data come from the official Austrian disaster map and we even and they are completely geo-referenced and the main challenge actually was the stitching of the single images to one large image so they are geo-referenced rather well also stitching worked rather well it was not done by us it was done by the public agency in Vienna and we could even make an overlay with the modern data so that's sometimes we can do. And how did you manage places that no longer exist or have been completely built over now? All right so say if the modern GIS says that that's now a reservoir how can how did you introduce more geographical data into yours or did you reuse an existing gadget here or I'm wondering where the place name data came from did you reuse some or did you create all the place name data yourselves? I'm not sure if I understood what you mean all these data are historical data and so but what I can say is that that if I would now use a modern layer it would not be perfect but I guess something like two to three meters difference it would work so you could not make really yeah I mean these are still legal data so it's really the first disaster in Austria and it has still legal authority and some people then start to think on borders and so on and sue each sue each other therefore we are a bit careful with the modern disaster. Okay got one more question? Yes Gwinter. Truskwivers has seen a lot of developments in the past three years and we talked about how we three years ago we're really happy with results that would not be satisfying today so there were a lot of developments and you have seen a lot of projects by others so I was wondering if you could start this project today would you change anything in strategy or workflow? Yeah I would start with the table recognition that's clear and the interface itself already has the ability to take the data directly from the page file the page XML so if we would now know that this cell is the family name cell we could also directly integrate it into the form so that the citizen scientist just needs to correct. On the other hand they often like to transcribe and not to correct yeah so I mean the writing is okay and recognition would be good but yeah it's also something we learned that they often really like to simply type. Okay I don't see any more questions so it is time for the lunch break then again I think you know the drill food is outside for free of course and a vegan option is also available. See you later in the afternoon. Thank you.


Hey everyone, today I'm going to show you all how to modify and print your 3D models in the NCSM FAB Lab using 3D printer OS. To start, go to 3dprinteros.com and then click sign in, then select SSO, type in North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics, and log in with your NCSM Google account. This will take you to the FAB Labs 3D printer OS portal. After logging in, you will land on the files tab in 3D printer OS. In this tutorial, we'll only go over the first three tabs up here at the top. In this first file tab, you can upload files you want to print as well as set up project, which act as folders for your files. The next tab, History, shows your previous prints along with other statistics. Printers shows all the printers at NCSM as well as their statuses. You can also get a live view of all of our printers using the Live View Wall feature. To start my print, I'll navigate back over to the Files tab and then click Add Files. There are three types of files you can upload to 3D printer OS, STLs, G-Code, and OBJs. For this tutorial, I'll upload an STL file to 3D printer OS, as this is the file type that is the most popular. I'll drag StudyDuck.STL into 3D printer OS. After 3D printer OS processes my file, it will show up in the Files tab with two options, Layout and Slice. I'll click on Layout first. Here I can see that my duck is placed in the center of the print bed. Within the layout environment, I have a couple options of how to edit my duck. I can move it on the print bed wherever I want to using the Move command. I can also rotate my duck using the Rotate command. And lastly, I can also scale my duck using the Scale command. There are also some special commands, On Bed, Center, and Optimal Rotate. To get my duck ready for printing, I'll click Optimal Rotate, which will find the best position for my duck to print properly. Then, I'll click on On Bed, which will make sure the bottom of the duck sits perfectly on the print bed. And lastly, I'll click Center, which will make sure that my duck is in the middle of the print bed again. I'll also make sure to select the right printer for the job. The Fab Lab has two types of printers, the Ultimaker 2 Plus and the Prusa i3 Mark 3. Chaining the printer changes the size of the print bed as well as some other settings later on. We recommend that for most prints and personal projects, to use the Prusa Mark 3, and that the Ultimaker stay reserved for professional and classroom projects, where more higher quality is required. For this print, I'll leave it as a Prusa. Now that I'm done laying out the model, I can click on the Slice button in the top right corner. This will bring up the Slice menu. In the Slice menu, I can set up the quality and strength of my print, the material of my part, as well as some other options. The Fab Lab has set a profile that students can use to get optimal print settings. First, select your printer type in the top left corner. I'll leave mine as a Prusa i3. Under the next menu, you can click on the draft or quality profile. I don't need a very high quality duck, so I'll leave mine as draft. For this video, I'll leave layer height, wall thickness, infill density, printing temperature, build plate temperature, build plate adhesion type, and generate support as default. If you'd like to learn more about these values, please watch the slicing video in the playlist linked in the description. Don't edit these values without consolidation from the Fab Lab. Once I've selected the right profile, I'll click on the Slice and Toolpath Review button. Now you can review the layers of your print from start to finish by moving the range slider or using the animation buttons. 3D printer OS also told me which parts of the duck overhang from the sides and has generated supports for them in the pink color. I can also check the amount of filament my print uses, the estimated print time, and the cost of my print in this bottom right corner. All NCSM students get $5 for printing by default and may expand this amount by contacting the NCSM cashier. There are no errors with this info, so I'll click on the Print button. In this last step, I'll select which printer I want to use, as well as the color of my print. I want the duck to be red, so I'll select on Archimedes. Make sure that the printer you choose has enough filament for print or else it will be incomplete. If the printer you want is busy, you click on the Cue button, which will make your print next in line. Once I've selected my printer, I'll click Print. Now, if I go to the Printer tab, I can see that the printer Archimedes is heating up and getting ready to print my part. When the print completes, you can head over to the FabLab and pick it up. Thanks for watching this tutorial. If you like more in-depth info about the features of 3D printer OS, check out the playlist in the video description, as well as the NCSM FabLab website in the description as well. Thanks.


There's nothing like that feeling on Holidays that feeling that there's something special about the day So I often like to think why can't we have that more often? There's maybe you know here in Canada around ten official holidays you can add all kinds of traditional holidays extra ten maybe and and throw in some other holidays here and there and Yeah, maybe you can come up to about 10% of your days being somehow Holidays, but why can't it be higher? Why can't we find something special about? almost every day in a way It's kind of arbitrary because a day is a day and we're just marking it on a calendar somehow giving it name and number and maybe Assigning it some kind of significance like if I think of the most Traditional classic holiday in my part of the world is Christmas. So Christmas Day Has this special feeling to it because it's Christmas, but of course it's just another day and We simply choose to label it as this special holiday and observe it So we could do this More and we don't need to depend only on Existing traditional holidays. Why not create our own holidays? Why not create our own traditions our own calendar? So that we can really feel with each day that there is something special about the day now of course we can't Maybe maybe we don't want to make all 365 plus days as holidays Then maybe you would just be wishing for an ordinary day because it's okay to have ordinary days, too But maybe those ordinary days could be half the year Maybe even two-thirds of the year, but not like almost every day the way we have it now You could have even up to half of your days be somehow special days and We have this creativity to Make it whatever we want So I like this idea of having a personal calendar where you can create your own significant days So of course we could start with the basic calendar. I lay it out in a spreadsheet. I have one line per day and Then I have different things to say about that day in each column. So could start with the basic date just your normal months and days and and lay that out and Then you can have all your Official holidays your traditional holidays and lay all those out then I also like to lay out the Seasonal events like the equinoxes solstices. They're the solar events can lay out the lunar months you can lay out the weekdays have all that laid out and Then on top of this sort of basic template you can add any day that's significant for you So the first thing that comes to mind is of course birthdays We all have there are family and friends that every year their birthdays come around and we acknowledge them and We celebrate them. So why not think of that as an actual holiday on your personal calendar? so you can you know, it's like that person's day becomes as official a holiday as Labor Day or Christmas or whatever it is on your calendar So your year Cycles through all the people that you choose to celebrate. So I like this idea and I'm experimenting with it now for I've been doing that with this year and even more with next year bring in more of these birthdays and looking for just anything to Make each day special Because it is of course each day could be anything each day has the chance to be anything and in some ways each day is Just a day and we can name it whatever we want. So why not name it? something that inspires us to see what's special about that day to do something unique with that day and Do this through making our own calendar So I'd love to hear if you have any other ideas of what what can we add to our personal calendar and Let's make each day special


Okay, so we're looking at the lower part of the jaw in the beginning of the trachea here So of course we have our tongue your mandible Underneath the mandible you have your hyoid bone And your thyrohyoid and membrane is this kind of rigid structure here Laryngeal prominence is this point right here in the front thyroid cartilage Below that is the Circoid cartilage the thyroid gland sits here on the side and then you have the trachea with the tracheal rings put this guy over You can of course see the different papillae up here is your circuit VLA papulae This back here Is the lingual tonsil your epiglottis is back here? Your larynx is this whole region right here Thyroid you can still see I'm sitting off on the edge over here The trachea with the tracheal muscle is down here And then the aerotinoid cartilage is this cartilage right here


From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, bringing you data-driven insights from theCUBE and ETR. This is Breaking Analysis with Dave Vellante. As we've reported extensively, the pandemic has affected cybersecurity markets perhaps more than any other. Remote work has caused CISOs, Chief Information Security Officers, to shift spending priorities toward identity access management endpoint and cloud security. COVID has been a benefactor for next-gen security companies that participate in these sectors. Notably, we believe tactical responses to the coronavirus have resulted in productivity improvements that will create permanent change in the way organizations defend themselves against cyber threats. Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's Wikibon Cube Insights, powered by ETR. In this Breaking Analysis, we'll provide you with our quarterly update of the cybersecurity space and share fresh ETR data on the market. We also have some results from Eric Bradley's most recent Venn Roundtable conducted with three senior Chief Information Security Officers. Let's start by looking at this notion of a single pane of glass. Now, despite the aspiration, there is no silver bullet to protect organizations from cyber attacks. The complexities of security, they're enormous, and they required a layered defense approach. They range from securing internal networks to endpoints to DMZ subnets, external traffic security, data in motion, data at rest, protecting from ransomware, dealing with web traffic, emails, phishing, not to mention, threats from internal employees and contractors. As we mentioned at the open, there are three areas in particular that have seen significantly elevated spending momentum that is translated into the valuation increases for several companies, including CrowdStrike, Okta, Zscaler, and several others. Zero trust security has gone from buzzword to reality. And spending shifts to these technologies have siphoned off demand from traditional hardware-based firewalls. Although CISOs seem to be hedging their bets as some, at some point they realize that people are actually going to come back to the office so they have to remain agile. Lack of talent, well that remains one of the CISOs biggest challenges to securing applications and data. And automation, while sometimes viewed as risky, is becoming increasingly important. Several companies have hit our radar this quarter and were highlighted in the CISO panel, including Elastic, which has seen momentum as an open source alternative to Splunk. And notably, multiple CIOs in the panel, they cited concerns related to Splunk's pricing and their sales tactics. They actually compared those of Splunk to those of EMC in the past, if anybody remembers how aggressive EMC sales people could be. Cloudflare also broke into the top 10 in the ETR survey based on NetScore, which is a measure of spending momentum. And that was for those companies with more than 50 mentions in the survey. Cloudflare is a CDN and provides security for websites. Also, NetScope, a cloud security specialist cracked the top 10 in terms of NetScore and received high marks from the CISO panel, particularly with respect to its vision and roadmap. Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, Octa, CrowdStrike, Cisco, CyberArk, SalesPoint, Zscaler, and ProofPoint remain focus vendors for us in the ETR survey, as measured by spending momentum and their presence in the dataset, what we call market share. And we'll talk more about those companies in a moment. Now, finally, even CISOs that were skeptical about the permanence of the effects of COVID, they're seeing business benefits that suggest many of these shifts are secular and not cyclical. Indeed, prior to the pandemic, ETR survey data showed that about 16% of organizations workers were primarily remote. See, I always expect that number to more than double post pandemic to 34%. Let's take a look at some of the cybersecurity vendors. We'll plot some, we don't have enough room to plot all of them, there are so many. This chart shows one of our favorite X, Y views. On the Y axis, we measure net score. That measures, again, spending velocity by looking at the net percentage of customers that are spending more versus those that are spending less within the ETR survey. The X axis measures market share or pervasiveness in the survey. Now we've included a select list of companies for this view and only include those with more than 50 responses or 50 ends, shared ends, if you will, in the data set. In the upper right, you can see a table that shows the data sorted by both net score and shared ends for each vendor. Now, as we indicated, Elastic has taken the top spot, just barely edging out Okta who took over from CrowdStrike in the last survey. And you can see the significant market presence of Palo Alto and Splunk and the most pervasive vendor here at Cisco. Note that Cisco also owns Umbrella and Duo, which both have meaningful ends in the survey. Now, if we were to combine these into one view, a single view of Cisco, all three of those, it would pull the company even further up and to the right. Security is one of the bright spots in Cisco's portfolio and shows consistent year-on-year growth each quarter. Now, having said that, some CISOs complain that Cisco's propensity to rely on acquisitions to fill gaps has caused them integration challenges in the past. Let's come back to Palo Alto for a moment. We'll make some comments later regarding their position relative to Fortinet, but we wanted to call them out here. Look, CISOs, they really like Palo Alto. They trust Palo Alto networks. They consider Palo Alto a trusted leader with a very strong portfolio and vision. Now, let's turn our attention to the pack here. As we mentioned, Okta's momentum is notably elevated and it's meaningfully higher than the others. Its presence continues to increase up to the right. As does CrowdStrike's to the right, not necessarily up to the right, but to the right. But CrowdStrike has come off its net score high, so it's coming down actually in the vertical axis. We're not super concerned about that because they're dramatically increasing their presence in the x-axis each survey, but so is Okta. So that's something to watch. In other words, CrowdStrike's coming down and net score while it's increasing its presence. Okta's holding its net score while at the same time increasing its presence, which is really a strong sign. Now, they don't compete against each other directly, but they're still in the same sector. We've also included Carbon Black here because they're VMware acquisition and VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger. He's on a mission to fix security and the company has made a number of moves in cyber. VMware is a really good track record of execution and while fixing security is highly aspirational. With its install base and history of success, we wanted to include them here because they're getting more attention of the CISOs in the ETR panel. So we're keeping an eye on VMware and Carbon Black. It's going to take some time, but we'll keep watching that. Now let's take a look at how the players have moved this year over the quarters. We're going to show you four tables here. We're going to compare the net scores and market share of the cyber companies for January, April, July, and October surveys. So pre-COVID and throughout the year. So let's look first at the pre-COVID positions. The leftmost chart is sorted by net score or spending momentum. And the rightmost chart is the shared ends, which is the number of mentions in the survey, which is what drives the horizontal axis that I showed you earlier. Now, when you go back to the January survey, you see CrowdStrike was already doing very well with an elevated net score of 68.3% in 123 mentions. By the way, please ignore those companies with less than 50N, I didn't filter the data back then. I was kind of still learning how to use the ETR software platform. Okta was also elevated. And you can see the others there as well. Now last year, we came up with a method to assign stars to those companies that had both top net scores and large shared ends in the survey. So spending momentum and strong market share. And you can see Microsoft, Splunk, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, and CyberArk made the cut. And we all received four stars. And we gave two stars to Cisco and Fortinet because they had strong net scores and very high presence in the survey. Now let's go forward and look at April when the lockdown was in full swing. OK, so we tightened things up in April and on the presentation of the survey data. And only included those companies with more than 50N. And we cut the top 10. That's the red line. And we then put in there Dell EMC, which is RSA, and IBM for context. And you can see CrowdStrike, they shot to the top with a 68% net score and increased its shared end. And you can see the stars on the right. Now let's just jump ahead to the July survey. So now we're well into the pandemic. Maybe things are calming down a little bit in the summer. People feeling a little bit more freedom. Maybe not as concerned about the work from home piece. That's sort of settling in. And CISOs, they had a little time to respond here. And that's kind of the picture in the summer. Okta jumped way up on the left, you see, in spending momentum. And CrowdStrike, they moderated a bit. Although they remained elevated. And again, they're not direct competitors, but it's instructive to compare these two firms, because they're both hot and growing. And you see the green lines. They show the direction of the momentum of the net score. CrowdStrike was a bit of a concern because its net score dropped and its presence in the data set kind of moderated. But the company continued to report strong revenue during its earnings calls. And the stock remained a darling. So some mixed signals in the data. One quarter doesn't necessarily make a trend. But Okta, Microsoft, Cisco, Palo Alto, Splunk, and several others, they remained very, very strong. Now let's go into the most recent October survey. So again, we continue to fine tune our presentation analysis here. And you can see there are two red lines. The top one is the top 10 cutoff and the second line is the top 20. As we said, Elastic hit the radar for net score, but still not pervasive enough in the data set on the right to earn some stars with the shared ends. So Okta, in our view, continues to hold that top spot for momentum and made the top 10 cut for shared end, two very positive signs. It's shared end, for example, jumped from 139 to 185. So more and more mentions. People are increasingly relying on Okta for identity access management. Now for the green arrows here, the momentum lines, we've tried to take into consideration the shared end. So even though, for example, CrowdStrike's net score dropped from 50 down to 43%, it's shared end, or again, the number of mentions, it jumped from 119 to 162. So that's a 36% increase. And you might be thinking, well, why is that significant? Well, CIOs and IT buyers in the ETR survey, they're asked to choose the areas with which they are most familiar, and then they answer questions on which vendors they use. So the fact that companies like Okta and Palo Alto and CrowdStrike and several others that we've highlighted are increasing their presence in the data set and still maintaining a very strong net score is a really good signal in our view. That's why, for example, take Zscaler, we still give them two stars, even though on a relative basis, it didn't make the top 10 cut. Its net score held relatively firm and its shared end jumped by 39%. So we continue to like names like Zscaler, Okta, CrowdStrike, Cyberock, Proofpoint, Fortinet, and of course, Microsoft, which consistently shines brightly. Let's look at a comment that underscores the CISO sentiment and I think the market overall. Here's a comment from a CISO of a global travel and hospitality company. It's a name you would recognize and obviously this individuals business was hit hard by the pandemic. So there's an inherent bias toward a hope anyway toward a return to the normal. But look at the comment, I'll read it. Quote, I was a skeptic on the permanence of the changes due to COVID, but I've seen firsthand, there are legitimate structural changes that are taking place and that's going to fundamentally shift where companies are investing in cyber. Building leases are expiring. People, they're productive working from home. Products that enable work from home and that are cloud first, that trend will continue and be permanent. And you know what? We agree. Okay, here's a chart that we've been updating right before, since right before the pandemic and it compares the performance of the S&P 500 and NASDAQ with specific security companies that are public. And we've been tracking the revenue multiples on a trailing 12 month revenue basis over time to get a sense of how these companies compare. And you know, we prefer to use forward looking revenue but find TTM to be more consistent and frankly easier to access quickly. So that's what we're using. Now note that Splunk, Octa, CrowdStrike and Zscaler, those are the guys I've highlighted in red, they have yet to report as of this publication. Couple of points here are worth noting. First, we've been talking a lot about the divergence in valuation between Palo Alto and Fortinet. And we'll show some more data on that in a moment but we want to share some CISO comments about Fortinet. People sometimes refer to Fortinet as Fortenife as in Swiss Army Knife. They're the Swiss Army Knife of cyber. Fort to everything is what one CISO called it. Fortinet is more price attractive, especially for mid-sized companies who don't have the resources of larger firms that might gravitate toward Palo Alto networks. And the company's been around for a while and has earned the trust of CISOs because of their portfolio and their track record. Now the other notable item in this data is the rise in value for Octa, CrowdStrike and Zscaler which have seen values increase 78%, 128%, 124% respectively in the time period we show here. You can see the very highly elevated revenue multiples compared to some of the more mature companies. Splunk, they're a bit of an outlier here because we're showing negative growth in that right hand column and that's because of its transition toward a subscription model. That really messes up the income statement and we just wanted to cite that. Splunk's been doing a good job communicating to the street. There are some concerns in the ETR dataset which we've talked about. They've sort of moderated lately. There's also concerns about pricing that CISOs have mentioned but generally there's a real bifurcation in the market in terms of valuations. And we think that while there's a lot of discussion about the so-called stay at home stocks and a shift back away from those when the pandemic subsides, we believe that the productivity benefits of remote work are becoming more clear and these next gen security companies are going to continue to thrive. Now let's take a moment to look at the relative performance of Palo Alto and Fortinet. Back in February this year, we noted that there was a valuation divergence occurring between these two companies and we cited three factors at the time for this gap. First, we said that Palo Alto was trying to cloud-proof its business and as such it was in transition. And second, it had some challenges with regard to the pace of that transition including sales incentives. Actually that's part of the first point. That was kind of 1A. Secondly, we said that the shift away from appliance-based firewalls was accelerating and that was pressuring Palo Alto's valuation. They were kind of underperforming in that segment. And finally we said that Palo Alto was facing some very tough compares in 2019 relative to 2018 and that was causing investors to pause as Palo Alto began shifting to an annual recurring revenue model. Now we said at the time that CISOs really, they really liked Palo Alto and we felt the company would deal with these issues in 2020 and this chart really shows that and they've begun to reverse this trend. The yellow line is Fortinet, the blue line is Palo Alto and it's showing this sort of relative performance here and you can see that gap coming into 2020 which extended into the meat of 2020. But now it's starting to compress thanks to a nice earnings report that beat EPS on revenue this month as we're talking about Palo Alto. So we continue to believe that Fortinet has done a good job and a better job of moving to the cloud model and Palo Alto has largely relied on acquisitions to accelerate this trend and we'll see if they can continue to thrive in during this transition to cloud. But there's little doubt that CISOs want to work with Palo Alto networks and they remain committed to having a strategic relationship with the company. All right, let's wrap. The shift to the subscription model is well underway in the cybersecurity space and it's buoyed by cloud and next generation SaaS based security players. Splunk is in transition. Cisco and Palo Alto emphasize the importance of this trend and virtually all historically on-prem players of being forced to respond. Survey data and anecdotal information from the CUBE community supports what the ETR Venn CISOs are saying that the internet is becoming the new private network and these trends toward cloud-based and remote worker support are delivering benefits that CEOs and CFOs are going to continue to push to operationalize. CISOs, they got to continue to take a multi-layered approach to defending their data, their applications and their users and as such a fragmented market with specialists is going to continue for quite some time. Now, despite these clear trends, CISOs face a real challenge. The timing of the return to semi-normal it's really uncertain and we still don't have a clear picture of what that future will look like. As such, incumbent firms with hardened networks are going to have to remain in a hybrid holding pattern to accommodate whatever happens. Why is that important? Well, this means that budgets are going to be stretched. Look, while security means it remains a top priority, you can't expect an open checkbook going to the SecOps team. Throwing money at the problem wouldn't really solve it anyway. Rather, CISOs have to take a balanced portfolio of investments continuing with automation and data analytics and of course, good security practices, that's going to be the pattern.
