      Note:

      XBRL specifications mandate that you must provide the declared namespace within your XML in order for the instance document to be valid. The namespace should be entered in the following format: prefix=”http://www/uri/org/etc”. You must enter valid XML that conforms to XBRL specification to describe the entity segment.
