Brazilian electrolytic and matte nickel producer Votorantim Metais is seeking to import 4,000 tonnes of sulfide nickel concentrate to feed its Fortaleza de Minas nickel matte plant.
"This would allow us to work at the 10,000-tonne full capacity at Fortaleza de Minas," company superintendent João Bosco said. Ore could possibly be sourced from Canada, Australia or Africa.

Minnesota congressman arrives in Mogadishu
By By Abdi Guled
Topics: From the Wires, News
MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A U.S. congressman visited Somalia's capital on Tuesday, the first visit in years by a member of Congress to what until recently was considered one of the world's most dangerous cities.
Keith Ellison, a Democrat from Minnesota, said his visit to Mogadishu fulfills a request from his constituents with ties to Somalia. Minnesota has one of the largest populations of Somali-Americans in the U.S.
Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, noted that the U.S. government recently recognized the Somali government for the first time since the country fell into anarchy in 1991. President Barack Obama's administration formally recognized the Somali government on Jan. 17.
"I told my constituency I would come here and work for the United States and Somalia relationship, and I am doing that in today's visit," Ellison told a news conference in Mogadishu.
Ellison was greeted by Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The president said that Ellison's visit was a big day for Somalia.
Mogadishu has experienced about 18 months of relative peace, after the August 2011 ouster of the Islamic extremists of al-Shabab from the capital by African Union forces.
Ellison said his meetings with Somali officials would focus on financial remittances most often sent by Somalis in the U.S. back to family members in Somalia. Such remittances have become harder to make over fears that people sending money could be accused of aiding a terrorist organization such as al-Shabab.

NSPCC blurs lines as vetting debate kicks off
Confusion reigns
Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery
As debate on the future of the Vetting and Barring Scheme (VBS) gets under way, the NSPCC is demanding the right for authorities to carry on hiring and firing on the basis of uncorroborated "soft information" about employees.
In a statement issued today, the charity further muddies the water by blurring the distinction between those convicted of sex offences and those who have allegedly displayed "inappropriate behaviour".
There is undoubtedly some method to this. Shortly after coming to power, in June 2010, the coalition ordered a halt to development of the VBS, pending a thoroughgoing review of arrangements put in place by the previous government.
The attitude was that although the VBS might be a good thing in principle, there was a perception that it "went too far", possibly having the counter-productive effect of "deterring well-meaning adults from working with, and improving the lives of, children and vulnerable adults".
The review reported back (pdf) on 11 February, with recommendations that would broadly return the responsibility for safety back to employers, while doing away with the necessity for the vast majority of individuals to be regularly vetted. Those entitled to a criminal records disclosure should in future find this facility becomes portable through "a system which allows for continuous updating".
The fine detail of legislative change will be enacted through the Protection of Freedoms Bill, which starts its second reading in the Commons today.
The NSPCC have expressed a number of concerns about the steps already proposed. In particular, they are worried that the new proposals will:
- Restrict the range of activities classed as needing to be "regulated" and therefore increase opportunities for individuals who are only supervised "lightly" to develop relationships of trust with children;
- Exclude from regulation any activity that is provided for, or relates to, children aged 16 or 17, apart from the provision of health, personal or certain types of social care;
- Restrict information on barring decisions to occasions where individuals are seeking to work in regulated activity.
The intent behind these changes is clear: individuals should not be penalised for information that has not been legally tested, or through employers being made aware of adverse information that has nothing to do with their current employment.
For the same reason, the proposed new legislation shifts the burden of obligation on professional bodies so that in future notification of "prescribed information" about an individual "may" be passed to the Independent Safeguarding Authority – as opposed to "must", as is required at present.
It is possible that this change will impact cases such as those of John Pinnington, whose career as a Head Teacher was effectively blighted after an allegation of inappropriate behaviour was investigated by local police. They decided there were no grounds for further action, but the High Court held in August 2008 that the Police had no discretion as to whether or not to pass this information along as part of an enhanced CRB check.
Lastly, the new legislation proposes penalising organisations that request a check on employees where they are not entitled to by law. This move is likely to go a long way to tackle the project creep, exposed by the Reg, which has seen more and more employers demanding checks "just in case".
The NSPCC has put together a considered parliamentary briefing paper (pdf) examining the proposed changes in detail.
However, in stirring up publicity for its cause, it rather less helpfully muddles public fears of sex offenders having access to children (16 and 17 year olds) with teachers barred for "inappropriate behaviour" and later seeking to work in an unregulated supervised role.
The debate on the Freedoms Bill starts today. A spokeswoman for the Home Office tells us further detail will be added as that debate unfolds. ®
Soft Intelligence, Hard Consequences
I know (knew?) a bloke who was recently accused by the mother of a 4 year old of abuse.
I've no idea whether it was true or not. It comes down to his word against that of a pre school child. He hasn't been charged or prosecuted by the police.
The consequences of the allegation have been absolutely horrific.
He is facing divorce, isn't trusted with his own daughter, his wife is on the verge of a mental breakdown unable to face her friends, and the familly home is on the market.
And his reputation is in tatters.
And absolutely nothing he does or says now will ever restore normality.
Which - if he was truly guilty - is obviously tough shit for him.
And if he's innocent - as he claims and we must presume - enough to drive someone to the brink of suicide.
And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why for the last eight years, I have been making a regular monthly donation to BARNARDOS.
I cannot stand the NSPCC. They help run Child Line (in association with another body) which is good, but apart from that all I've ever seen them accomplish is to suck up vast quantities of the finite amount of money the British public can spare for charity, and blow it all on ad campaigns designed to provoke hysteria and the instil in all adults an anxious fear of being seen talking to a child (let alone one that isn't theirs), or you know, being alone and male when walking past a school, etcetera.
NSPCC - teaching the world that adults are evil at great expense. True, Barnardos sign these sorts of things too, but at least I know that most of the money I give to Barnardos is being actually, you know, spent directly on kids.
FAIL for NSPCC. I know they do bits of good here and there, but mainly what I see from them is fearmongering.
Shouldn't the NSPCC be busy trying to help children in poverty and working on the task of making sure teachers and other professionals who care for children are properly trained in spotting danger signs and then that there is a proper non sensationalists mechanism in place to properly investigate such matters sensitively?

Never Summer Revolver Snowboard - Wide
Never Summer's wider version of the Evo, the Revolver Snowboard kills it all over the mountain thanks to its R.C. profile which blends rocker with camber for playfulness in the park and stability at high speeds. So while it jibs and jumps with the best of them in the park, it also loves to head for the trees when it's waist deep and charge the burliest lines in sight.
- R.C. profile features rocker underfoot and between the bindings with camber outside the bindings for a playful, floaty ride that is stable on hard pack at high speeds
- STS Pretensioned fiberglass has elastomer stringers between the laminates for unmatched strength and edge hold
- Carbon VXR laminates help transfer energy to the effective edge, tip, and tail without making the board too stiff
- NS Superlight core blends super light wood with durable hardwood for unmatched strength-to-weight ratio
- Press Flex core uses two specific softer points between the bindings for bigger presses and ollies
- Vario Power Grip sidecut uses three different radii, going from deeper towards the tip and tail, to a straight section in the middle, for increased edgehold
- Twin shape helps you stomp tricks switch
- Sintered base is ultra-fast and durable
- Sintered P-tex sidewall won't crack in cold temperatures
- New matte-finish topsheet stands out in the liftline
Bottom Line: All-mountain versatility for big-footed park slayers.
Leave your mark on The Wall.
What a stick...
November 20, 2012
Rode this same board last year and went with the same model this year as well in a smaller size. Neversummer has outdone themselves year after year. If you're someone who enjoys all mountain / park riding this piece of lumber is unreal. In moguls, steeps, and generally choppy terrain this thing is so playful and easy to whip around. The grip is really solid making hard carves and linking turns a breeze. Bombing down the mountain you rarely notice any choppiness. Where this board truly shines is when you really start to have some fun with it. Perfect for jibbing, park riding, and AMAZING for butters. Haven't touched any true ice other than some serious hardpack with this board yet but im willing to bet that its just like last years model which has no issue holding its own on ice. If you're comparing this board to any other, stop now, save yourself some time, and add it to the cart.

David Rain: Depends on your skill level but only slightly. I would definitely consider it an all mountain board because there's nothing i can't tackle with ease on it. For a beginner the board may be a bit chattery at high speeds over uneven terrain, that's about all.
Patrick: personal preference, attached a pic of fit here.

I got into running because i want to lose weight and be fit. I achieved both and got more as an added bonus. I now appreciate the outdoors, have developed a fondness for running and mtbiking and especially, I gained new friends who share the same interests. You see, there's something about the outdoors that you will never get to know unless you experience it. I am just too glad that I did and will still do in hopefully many years to come.

An emotional President Obama finished his campaign in Des Moines, Iowa on Monday night, the state that launched his unlikely road to the presidency in 2008.
"I've come back to Iowa one more time to ask for your vote," Obama told the crowd, his voice hoarse from relentless campaigning. "I came back to ask you to help us finish what we've started."
Obama's speech was infused with nostalgia at every turn, eschewing his usual attacks on his opponent, Mitt Romney (whose name never came up), in favor of a wistful look back on his 2008 campaign and the spirit that he said connected it to his current run. At one point he appeared to wipe away tears.
"We've made real progress these last four years," he said. "But, Iowa we're here tonight because we got more work to do. We're not done yet on this journey, we've got more road to travel. As long as there's a single American who wants a job but can't find one, as long as there are families working harder but still falling behind, as long as there's a child still in Des Moines, anywhere in Iowa, anywhere in this country languishing in poverty, barred from opportunity, our work isn't done."
He cast himself as a populist counter to "the folks at the top of this country" who he said "will always have a seat at the table" no matter who is president. He said that message had only become clear in his long and bitter fights with Congress to pass universal health care and Wall Street reform.
"Children don't have lobbyists the way oil companies or banks do, but it's the dreams of those children that will be our saving grace," he said. "That's what we fight for. That's why I need you, Iowa, to make sure their voices are heard."
He added: "I got a lot more fight left in me. But to wage that fight on behalf of American families, I need you to still have some fight in you, too."
And here was the nub of the speech: The persuasion period is over. It's time to turn out the base. The candidate who began his career as a community organizer now had to hope that the grassroots machine he'd built for his re-election was enough to withstand a robust challenge from Romney.
"It's out of my hands now," he said. "It's up to you."
Looking out at the crowd, Obama recalled his old campaign headquarters nearby in the Democratic primary and its lousy heating. He spoke of the volunteers then who took time off after long working days to work the phones. He retold in detail a now familiar story from his first run about Edith Child, a volunteer in South Carolina who he met after a brutal day in the primaries and inspired him with a chant of "Fired up, ready to go!" that he soon incorporated into his rallies. The president said that he personally called Child up the other day and asked her to come to the rally in Des Moines to lead the crowd, but was rebuffed.
"She said, 'I'd love to see you, but I think we can still win North Carolina so I'm taking a crew into North Carolina to knock on doors on Election Day,'" he recounted. "'I dont have time just to be talking about it. I've got to knock on some doors. I've got to run out the vote! I'm still fired up and I got work to do!"'
Obama's voice cracked as he repeated, almost word for word, the same exact lines he used in numerous 2008 speeches about Ms. Child's effect on him that day.
"That shows you what one voice can do," he said. "One voice can change a room. And if it can change a room, it can change a city. And if it can change a city, it can change a state. And if it can change a state, it can change a nation. And if it can change a nation it can change the world!"
The crowd roared.
"Edith Child asked me to ask you that if you're willing to still stand with me tomorrow, and if you're willing to get your friends and your neighbors and your cowokers to the polls tomorrow, if you're willing to make sure we finish what we started, she's pretty sure we'll win Iowa," he said. "She's pretty sure we'll win this election. And she just had one question for you and that is are you fired up? Are you fired up?"

Napoli to wear black armbands in tribute to their former striker Hans Jeppson
Last Updated: February 22, 2013 5:49pm
Napoli: Team to wear black armbands as tribute to Hans Jeppson
Sky Bet
Football Betting
Napoli are set to wear black armbands in tribute to their former striker Hans Jeppson, who died today at the age of 87.
A statement released on the official website of Jeppson's first club Djurgarden confirmed he had died at his home in Rome of undisclosed causes this morning.
Djurgarden claimed Jeppson, who originally left Sweden for Charlton in 1951, had become the most expensive player in the world when he joined Napoli from Atalanta for 150million lire in 1952.
Jeppson went on to score 52 goals in 112 appearances for Napoli and he remains in 11th place on the club's all-time scoring list.
The Swede was a popular figure in southern Italy and Napoli have therefore asked permission to pay tribute to him when they face Udinese in Serie A on Monday night.
A statement on sscnapoli.it read: "On behalf of SSC Napoli and all its members, president Aurelio De Laurentiis expresses deep grief for the death of Hans Jeppson, one of the best players in the club's history.
"SSC Napoli have asked Lega Calcio for the permission to play Monday's match in Udine wearing black armbands and to observe a minute's silence before the start to commemorate Jeppson."
Jeppson also played 12 times for Sweden, scoring nine goals and helping the Scandinavian nation to a third-place finish at the 1950 World Cup in Brazil.

Ok, sorry for torturing you all with my polyvore-ing, so here are some relatively recent photos!
1- I was being floral!
2-4- Makeup for when we went to see Maximum the Hormone…although I looked like a drowned rat afterwards XD
5- Fuzzy fuzzy hair, I think this was when we went to Brighton and I was ill >_<
6- YES MY HAIR LOOKS GREEN. It needs a redye, desperately. I'm trying to phase the colours out so I can have slightly different ones next time!
Also, I hope you enjoyed Charles' photobombing~

A friend brought over a chilled rose on a hot summer night, and I tried to steal her VaciVin. I ordered 8 (2 for me, 2 for stocking stuffers for mom and sister, 4 for little gifts this fall/last minute holiday). I have already given away 3, used 2 for myself, and sliced 1 as an ice pack for an ankle injury (not a recommended use. But in an emergency...just don't cut the ice cells, which anyone should know). I will now order some more as replacements and a few of the champagne bottle size. This is not the most exciting gift to open, but it is really useful, and if you put it on a nice wine, it's even better. A great gift!
Most Helpful Negative Review
Not what I expected
Didn't chill wine as fast as I thought it would. Would be good for keeping wine cool that had been already chilled in your wine cooler if you were travelling short distances or outside.

Comments about Vacu Vin Rapid Ice Instant Wine Chiller (White Grapes):
Having been in hospitality industry for 27 + years and being a bit analytical, I found this cooling sleve to be a perfect tool and an excellent gift. Also used for first aid on one fateful evening. But in reality, the chiller fits snuggly around the bottles and chills immediately. Also has good temperature holding time. Even while having a dinner on a hot summer evening and refilling the glasses at a casual pace. It is much more attractive than the marble coolers that I had for years and takes up much less space in the freezer. I believe it is a great purchase for those who value their wine.

About Me Practical
Comments about Vacu Vin Rapid Ice Instant Wine Chiller:
The picture leads you to believe that the product is an insulated metal container. Instead, it is a cheap, plastic, gel-filled, set of linked pouches. It is too small to use with most bottles plus it does not "chill" wine, but rather it sticks to the bottle making it bulky and hard to handle. [...]

This is an inexpensive way to keep a bottle of wine chilled. I gave several as a gift to friends who love to sit on the porch in the summer. I now want one for myself. It works great!!!

About Me Bargain Hunter, Frequent Entertainer, Practical
It is not as sturdy a product as you would expect but it actually works very well. You can keep it in your freezer at all times so it is always ready. It takes up very little space when folded flat. The only negative is that it is difficult to grasp the wine bottle with it on, so you must remove the bottle each time you pour it.

About Me Frequent Entertainer
This product is fantastic. I ordered TWO of each color one for reds and one for whites. I use one of each for the first two hours of the party and replace them half way through with the fresh ones to make sure the wine stays cool. Get TWO of each for sure.I only wish they made these for the 1.75 liter wine bottles too. They are only for 750 ml size now.
from Tampa
Very nice to use and attractive design. Buy two for each color wine so that you have one on ice and one in use and wine is always cold for the entire duration of the party.
bought this for a gift

Getting to know Kris Kringle
What an elusive character this Kris Kringle is. I first met up with him in 1964. Actually my earliest memory, that is. Living in a brownstone on E. 72, my parents were gone all day long. The weather was extremely cold and my Uncle Ray was watching my sister and me, until my parents returned home, from wherever it was they were at. After watching the Flintstones on the black and white that evening, we were ushered into bed and told that, when we woke up, something magical would happen.
So, of course there was no way that we were ever going to get to sleep! That was when my Uncle Ray read my sister and me, "Twas The Night Before Christmas."
I have no memory of falling asleep, but I did remember the part of the jolly old man, Kris Kringle and his eight tiny reindeers. When my sister and I woke up, something magical had happened. Kris had paid a visit to E. 72, for in the living room was one of the most beautiful Christmas trees my sister and I had ever laid eyes on. After that year, we would chase the entire year away knowing that Dec. 25th would be here and Kris Kringle would return, and that for just one night, something magical could happen.
So now my crazy historic side has taken over and I really do want to know, where did Kris Kringle come from??
This information is from "The Historic St. Charles, Missouri Christmas Traditions":
Kris Kringle is of German and American descent. The figure of Santa Claus first begins to show up among the Pennsylvania Dutch in the mid 1820's in the form of Kris Kringle, or as he was also known, "Belsnickle". Belsnickle is a derivative of the German, "Pelz-nickle," which means "Nicholas in Furs."
Belsnickle would travel the Pennsylvania countryside ringing his bell looking for good children to give out his small gifts of cakes and nuts to. If Belsnickle came across a child who had not been behaving in the past year, he would warn the child to be good or else he might give them a smack with his rod.

Haley Not Under IRS Investigation
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley gets vindication over indictment allegations
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley released a copy of a letter she received from the IRS stating it determined an investigation into the Sikh Society of South Carolina was not warranted for the 2009 tax year.
"As we said from the very beginning, there was not an ounce of truth to any of these accusations – they were totally contrived, totally false, and it is a tremendous shame that once again the good names of the governor and her family were dragged through the mud by a media all too eager to believe anonymous sources and unaccountable bloggers," Haley Spokesman Rob Godfrey said in a statement released to media outlets across the state.
The letter reads in part:
After further consideration of your organization, we have detennined an examination is not warranted at this time for the above tax period. We did not conduct an examination for the above period. Do not consider this as an examination that resulted in no change to your tax liabilities.
On Thursday PalmettoPublicRecords.org published a story claiming that an indictment was imminent for Haley in the case, and published a copy of an IRS letter informing the Sikh Society it planned to investigate its tax exempt status.
The Haley administration did not directly respond Thursday to Patch.com's requests for comment on the story, however Haley took to Facebook and Twitter Thursday evening to deny the allegations.
PalmettoPublicRecord founder Logan Smith told Patch.com on Friday he stands behind the reporting.

How can you stand behind something that is evidently wrong????? Don't you think it makes sense to admit when you made a mistake? Guess I'll never read or belive anyting from the PalmettoPublicRecord. Bizarre!
10:09 am on Saturday, March 31, 2012
well what do you expect from JONATHAN ?? He obviously does not look into anything he writes... He just babbles his vitriol incessantly
7:45 pm on Friday, March 30, 2012
It is obvious that some factions are determined to undermine everything the governor attempts. I am beginning to believe that one cannot believe most articles written by the news mediums.
8:25 pm on Friday, March 30, 2012
Interesting, the S.C. government is listed as one of the most corrupt in the nation and an investigation into the actions of the current governor is now called off. I suspect more corruption is going on behind the scenes.
Kaye Fox

Interesting Ken, you make some statements as fact, but there is no substantive citied proof of them. It's easy to throw words around but you do need to make statements base on citied facts in this case.
10:08 am on Saturday, March 31, 2012
WHY would the PATCH even print something like this yesterday ... with all kinds of unnamed sources ... and denials from other people they asked about it. It's a HATCHET JOB against Haley, that's all. Seems the PATCH does not WOMEN in politics ... or is it they don't like her heritage ?
10:11 am on Saturday, March 31, 2012
oops I meant to say "the Patch does not LIKE WOMEN in politics"

Home » Watts Up Pro ES Portable Plug In Power Meter with Software & Extra Memory
Watts Up Pro ES Portable Plug In Power Meter with Software & Extra Memory
Watts Up Pro ES provides lots of information yet it is simple to use. Only 6 values are displayed in the main modes. The other information is available in the detail mode. Clear English wording (not abbreviations) on the LCD is used to describe what is displayed.
Watts Up Pro ES incorporates sophisticated digital electronics that enable precise and accurate measurements. State-of-the-art digital microprocessor design utilizes high-frequency sampling of both voltage and current measurements for true power.Power factor is captured so even phase-shifted loads such as motors are accurately measured. Fast, intuitive and easy-to-use, Watts Up Pro ES quickly and accurately measures any 120V AC appliance.
This Watts Up Pro ES Monitor will provide the following information: current watts, minimum watts, maximum watts, power factor, cumulative watt hours, average monthly kilowatt hours, tier 2 kilowatt hour threshold (used to calculate secondary kWh rates), elapsed time, cumulative cost, average monthly cost, line volts, minimum volts, maximum volts, current amps, minimum amps, and maximum amps, also displays Power
cycle. Note that this monitor's watt measure displays "true power",
which factors in a device's power factor.
This model will store up to 13,000 data points, recorded with a
user-selectable interval, which may be downloaded to a PC computer with
the supplied PC software via a USB cable. This enables sophisticated
data collection projects to be accomplished with ease, and a high level
of resolution. In fact, over a weeks worth of data can be collected
with a resolution between records of only one minute. The sample
interval (time between records) is user selectable between one second
and one day. Memory is non-volatile so no battery is required. The
optional software allows access to the data table, offers charting and
payback analysis, and permits the export of data in a comma-delimited
There are two other models to choose from :
- Watts Up Standard shows data on the screen but does not have memory - you must write results down for your records.
- Watts Up Pro has memory and comes with Windows reporting software and communications cable to chart results and also logs a few more parameters than the standard. The PRO model also displays Power cycle.
All models display this information:
- Cost - in dollars and cents
- Average monthly cost
- Average monthly kWh
- True power
- Cumulative power
- Time
- RMS voltage and current (amps)
- Maximum & minimum RMS voltage & current
- Maximum & minimum watts
- Power factor
- Duty cycle
All models are typically in stock and can typically ship the same or next day by method of your choice - UPS, FEDEX, parcel post, etc.
For more information, see the features, specifications and software tabs above.

The sample interval (time between records) is user selectable between one second and one day. Memory is non-volatile so no battery is required. Data transfer speed has also been increased 4 times, to a baud rate of 34,800. The PRO ES version includes all the displays of the Watts up? PRO (described below), and it also comes with the same graphing software and a USB cable to interface to a PC.
- Extra Internal Memory for over 8,000 records (over 120,000 if just watts)
- USB interface and logging capability
- 18 values displayed
- Cost displayed
- 1.5% accuracy
- World-wide compatibility
- PC interface
- Software included
- Real-time logging capable (additional software required)
- User selectable and automatic interval setting
This Watts Up? meter measures voltage and current thousands of times a second so it has an incredibly fast response time which enables you to "see the surge" of power when appliances are first turned on. The peak value display captures this surge so it is displayed even if it happens too fast to see live. The minimum RMS voltage display shows the line quality and voltage dips. Minimum RMS current and minimum watts can be used to monitor variances in appliances that run continuously.
Watts up? measures true power (including power factor). True power is what utilities charge for, which can be different than a simple voltage and current measurement (this is called "apparent power"). The duty cycle display shows the percent of time a load is above a preset threshold level. For instance, this threshold can be set to 100 watts and with a refrigerator the duty cycle display will show the percent of time that the compressor is running. A high reading may indicate a bad motor or low freon.
WattsUp Pro
This model also comes with software and USB interface to a PC.
The software automatically graphs all the data and includes an integrated analysis tool, called the Payback Calculator, which automatically calculates the time required for a new energy efficient appliance to pay for itself. Monthly savings are calculated, and they are compared to the purchase price of the new appliance.
As a data logger, the PRO records all the data into non-volatile (stored even if power is lost) memory. One thousand twenty-three data points are stored, starting with a sampling rate resolution of one second. The sample rate resolution increases over time (sample rate equals total time divided by 1023) so years of usage can be accurately recorded. Use the spreadsheet calculator below to determine what the logging interval will be, based on how long you are logging. For instance, the calculator will tell you that the interval between data will be 1 hour, 8 minutes and 16 seconds if you have logged data for 6 weeks.
The PRO also records any power interruptions, which is extremely handy when performing an audit of several devices. In addition, the Pro is capable of real time logging. The communication protocol is fully documented in the help file, including a list of commands required for real-time logging (our software would not be used). The User Forum on this website is a place where users can swap information pertaining to the creation of code which supports real time logging. If you are curious about the software, download it for free in the downloads section. There is also a sample data log which can be loaded into the software so you can get a sense for how easy the software is to use.
- 120 v, 60 Hz, 15 amps
- Higher ratings of 100-250v, 50/60Hz, and 15 amps require the universal outlet (UO) version. The electronics in the meter are capable of 20 amps but the cord and receptacle have different ratings. Verify the rating on the cordset you are purchasing.
