The company raised $401 million in convertible debt in October. Owl Rock and Viking Global Investors assisted them in this financing round. At that time, the company was valued at $4.3 billion. In July 2021, the company raised $150 million in series F funding.

Arctic Wolf has hired a number of ex-military people and sees that as a good recruitment source. The company is flexible regarding remote employees and believes there is value in remote and in-office work. Currently, the company has 500 employees in Eden Prairie and plans to hire at least 100 additional employees in Eden Prairie in the next 12 months. In the last 12 months, Arctic Wolf’s employee count has gone from 900 to 2,000. Not only was the available talent here in Minnesota, but Minnesota has the best talent available. It is a little more affordable to do business here as opposed to Silicon Valley, but the market of human technology capital is a global one. Larson was quick to point out that the decision did not have much to do with saving costs. There is a substantial pool of technical talent available here in Minnesota. Larson grew up in Avon, Minnesota, and attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Arctic CEO Nick Schneider and several management team members worked for a couple of very successful Minnesota technology companies, Compellent and Code 42 Software. This is known to many as the “Silicon Prairie” story.Īccording to Larson, the company leadership team has strong Minnesota ties and believed they could run a world-class technology-based cybersecurity company here. There is a long tradition of engineering-based technology companies in Minnesota.

In that way, it could be the rising cybersecurity tide that lifts all ships.Īrctic Wolf serves many organizations, from small businesses to multinational corporations. Unfortunately for the rest of us, this attracted new criminal talent, and everyone became a potential target.Īrctic Wolf was founded on the idea of building and then scaling the best data security center in the world to make it affordable to smaller organizations, thus providing quality cybersecurity services available to many. But in the last two decades, cybercrime has become a profitable criminal enterprise. Larson said only large organizations were the targets of cyber attackers until about 20 years ago. “But setting up one of these on your own takes 20 people, millions of dollars, and without it you are basically bringing a knife to a gunfight against modern cybersecurity attackers.” “What most companies really need is a full blown 24-by-7 security operations center,” he said. There are thousands of cybersecurity products and services.

You can define your own custom sizes by first making a file containing various parameters, which are best described by looking at the parameters of an existing label type. $ labelnation -t avery-5160 -c -i winebottle.ps -o printme.psĪnd you’re not limited to the predefined label sizes, either. You can use a PostScript file for the input by giving the -c option, as so: $ labelnation -t avery-5160 -d "#" -i subscribers.txt -o printme.ps For example, if you have a file called subscribers.txt where every address is separated by a single line containing a hash character, the following command will output PostScript for printing on Avery 5160 labels to a file called printme.ps: ![]() To print out a batch of mailing-list labels, use the -d option to specify the delimiter used between addresses in the input file. $ labelnation -l -i address.txt -t avery-5160 -o address.ps To specify a file name, give it as an argument to the -o option: To read the input text from a file, give the file name as an argument to the -i option, and use the -l option to specify that the file is “line input,” or lines of plain text.īy default, LabelNation writes a PostScript file named labelnation.ps in the current directory. First, give the name of the label you want to use as an argument to the -t option. To make output, you need to give several options. The latest version, 1.64, understands about 50 different labels, including the most popular Avery sizes as well as the Maco LL5805, LL8100, and LL8550 labels, and the Maverick ST340817. Once you have it downloaded and installed (just put the labelnation file in /usr/local/bin), you can get a list of its predefined labels with the -list-types option: You can print from a database of addresses on a single run, such as for printing a mailing list, and in addition to plain text input it can also take PostScript code - which means you can print labels with graphics. It outputs formatted PostScript that you can either save to a file or send directly to the print spooler, if you have a PostScript printer or a print filter that converts incoming PostScript to something that your printer understands. One versatile program written for the express purpose of printing on Avery labels is Karl Fogel’s Python-based LabelNation. Linux still isn’t supported, but that’s no matter - there’s more than one open source application for Linux that lets you format text for printing on the whole universe of Avery labels, from DVD covers to business cards.

I’ve compiled a list with similar LED-strip controllers. You can use any LED-strip you want, as long as the LEDs can be addressed separately or you build your own controller, that switches on the separate segments. LED strip with WS2812B or similar integrated controllerģ30 ohm resistor (or something close to it, just for short-circuit protection) Will be used as a spacer and to make up a grid for the words on the clock, so the light doesn’t bleed through to other letters that are not meant to be illuminated. At least now he knows with proper planning and plenty of help from online geniuses that any DIY project is possible.For the case you’ll need the following items. You should be able to get most of these components in your local hardware store: Name Even with an incredible finished product that’s garnered attention on the Internet, he still wants to make more adjustments to the code so that the three buttons have discrete functions. “The old adage ‘measure twice cut once’ kind of sums it all up,” he said. ![]() With so many different parts to the project, Graham said it’s important to map out everything before you make any irreversible cuts or coding decisions. He found a code on Adafruit that accommodated the snaking path of the LEDs, and with some additional tweaks here and there, the finished product was hanging on his wall. Once the model was completed, it was only a matter of applying the appropriate code to the arduino for control over the LED lights. If you refer to Graham’s Reddit post, you’ll find the remaining steps of the construction process, including laser cutting the letters, pouring epoxy, and building a frame for the clock. He used medium density fiberboard to create dividers between the lights so the color doesn’t bleed from one letter to the next and spray painted the dividers silver to illuminate each cubby evenly. Then he applied the string of LED lights in a zig-zagging, 11x11 pattern to match up with the 11x11 matrix of letters he found online to spell out the different times that would be displayed on the clcock. To his surprise, acoustic guitar wood ended up having the perfect size, shape, and appearance to give Graham a polished finished product. The clock also displays the date Imgur/grahamvinylĪfter finding his bearings in the coding part of the project, Graham embarked on the construction process, a walk in the park given his woodworking experience. Hit the button again and you’ll see days and months displayed, and with one more click a secret message pops up-“Happy Birthday.” Figuring out how to set up these alternating displays was certainly not in Graham’s repertoire, but arduino experts on Reddit saved him once again. Normally the clock displays the time in words, but hit the button once and the LEDs will form numbers that flash between the hour and minutes. With the way Graham’s clock is currently set up, there are four different display possibilities controlled by a button on the side of the machine. Graham hopes his project indicates the amazing feats people can accomplish with a little bit of research on the internet. “Every single step of the way I was like I have no idea how to do this let me see if I can google this to figure it out,” Graham said. Whenever he reached a coding impasse with the arduino, Graham would watch Youtube tutorials or talk to Redditors about how to proceed. Graham’s word clock is controlled by an arduino and a piece of open-source software that allowed him to code the clock once he found the appropriate code online. The clock also displays the time in large numerals Imgur/grahamvinyl “I talked to him about a week later after that and he was like, ‘Hey I’ve got mine all coded up, how’s yours going?’ And I was like, ‘I haven’t even started yet.’” That’s when Graham began cracking down on the coding aspect of the project. In fact, the DIY success began as a competition of sorts between Graham, who is experienced in woodworking, and his friend, who knows a thing or two about coding. Relying on his extensive knowledge of woodworking while expanding his previously untrained coding sensibilities, Graham created a smooth-running and multifaceted clock that made huge waves in the Redditsphere.īefore you stress out about your lack of coding knowledge, you should know that Graham began didn’t come to the project with very much experience. Surely someone with a healthy imagination could figure out various ways to employ these elements for a slew of DIY projects, but one Reddit user by the name of Brent Graham envisioned a state of the art word clock when he assessed his abilities and pondered the possibilities. It’s amazing what you can make with a blonk of acoustic guitar wood, a string of LED lights, and some basic coding knowledge. ![]() ![]() ![]() The results show that Venezuelan women face a range of adverse events throughout the migration cycle. The semi-structured, individual interviews were analyzed thematically. A qualitative case study was carried out with 22 participants in the Antofagasta region of Chile, including Venezuelan migrant women, healthcare professionals, and social workers from the public healthcare system, stakeholders from non-governmental and international organizations, and local government officials. This study aims at describing Venezuelan women’s perceptions of their health needs as they migrate to Chile via an unauthorized crossing point, with a focus on adverse events throughout the migration cycle, self-reported health needs, and responses. This poses important challenges in terms of short- and long-term health outcomes, the social determinants of health, and access to healthcare. In this context, gender and migration intersect as the social determinants of health, leading to their experiencing a range of adverse events. In parallel to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chile has experienced a significant influx of international migrants, many of whom are Venezuelan women who have entered the country through unauthorized crossing points. Recent and pertinent data is needed to properly identify and measure the risks and negative consequences that workers and families are exposed caused by the ongoing crisis. Quality of life and wellbeing of most of the Venezuelan population has being deteriorated in the last 5 years and Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) is not a priority for enterprises in the middle of the economic emergency and general deterioration of daily life.Despite the relevance of this problem, research on the subject is very limited. As a result, over 1.6 million Venezuelans have left their country since 2015 in a migration crisis never seen before in Latin America. Being a formal employee is no longer a guarantee for an acceptable quality of life.

The Centre of the circle coordinates are programmed into the collar and a Radius distance is set on the collar. Mapping the fence boundary is done by using satellite technology. GPS wireless Dog Fence systems can only create circular boundary fences. GPS Wireless electric dog fences, by contrast, use satellites to map a specific boundary (geo-fence) for the pet instead of using a buried wire and a fixed radio signal. After training, most pets stay away from the buried wire and remain within the designated safe area. ![]() The pet quickly learns that the correction is uncomfortable and avoids the buried boundary wire. To reinforce the training, if your pet gets too close to the buried wire, the wireless shock collar for dogs delivers a brief static impulse (correction). Through a simple training process, your pet learns to recognize where it is safe and where the alert is triggered. Your pet wears a wireless shock collar that is programmed to detect the radio signal (called a receiver collar.) If your pet gets too close to the underground wire, the radio signal triggers a ‘beeping’ noise from the receiver collar that alerts the dog (or cat) to retreat away from the buried wire. The wire is connected to a transmitter mounted in your house or garage that sends a harmless, coded radio signal through this wire. Most wired pet containment systems feature a buried wire, typically two-to-six inches underground.
