SWE-085 - Release Management
5.1.8 The project manager shall establish and implement procedures for the storage, handling, delivery, release, and maintenance of deliverable software products.
Given that software is considered a significant Agency investment, it is important to ensure that the delivered software is created and maintained from a controlled repository. Configuration management (CM) processes and controls provide the rigor and organization necessary for developers and their customers to have confidence that all changes to the code and documents are included in the released products. It is also important that the released product is stored, maintained, and delivered following a repeatable, controlled process. If a software product is intended to be released outside of a project, to another Center (not within the same project), to a contractor or to an entity outside of NASA, the project must follow release procedures documented in NPR 2210.1, Release of NASA Software, or potentially become liable for violations of the 1958 Space Act. Following NPR 2210.1 helps to identify and protect intellectual property contained in a software release and helps to ensure compliance with federal laws and export requirements (e.g., International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)).
As with other CM activities, the CM plan includes the plans and reference the procedures for software release management.
When developing procedures for release management, address all of the following:
Preparation of the release package.
Creation and delivery of the release package.
Storage and maintenance of the release package.
Release management procedures may vary depending of the recipient of the release. Internal releases, such as baselines released for testing, will most likely not require the same set of release activities and considerations as formal releases to external customers.
Preparation of the Release Package
The SMA (Safety and Mission Assurance) Technical Excellence Program (STEP) Level 2 Software Configuration Management and Data Management course taught by the Westfall Team 343 provides a good list of release planning and scheduling activities.
A checklist of activities to complete may be useful as part of the preparation to create the release package. A list of activities to consider includes:
Ensure the proper approvals have been documented and received, including:
Software assurance - "Software assurance shall provide objective evidence to the project and NASA Safety and Mission Assurance (SMA) of the software's readiness for operational release." 278
Release authority – Change Control Board (CCB) or other authorized "owner."
Ensure any required acceptance data package has been prepared (see NASA-GB-8719.13, NASA Software Safety Guidebook, 276 for typical content information), including the Version Description Document (SVD).
Ensure all required configuration audits have been completed (SWE-084).
Ensure all approved deviations and waivers are documented.
Ensure all change requests have been completed and verified.
Ensure all documents and training materials are complete, including installation and any special installation needs/support, customization and configuration documents, user and operator guides, and release notes.
Ensure all legal issues, such as licensing or export regulations (e.g., International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)), are addressed, as applicable.
Ensure any "ready to ship" reviews are completed.
Ensure all applicable portions of NPR 2210.1 373 have been completed, including the development of compliance matrices associated with NPR 7150.2 039 , NASA-STD-8739.8, Software Assurance Standard, 278 and NASA-STD-8719.13, NASA Software Safety Standard 271.
Ensure all installation sites are prepared to receive and install the release, conducting any pre-installation visits as appropriate.
Ensure required support personnel are trained and ready to address issues related to the installed release.
Creation and Delivery of the Release Package
Procedures for creating the release package are used once the preparation steps have been completed and it is time to create the release package. Typically, there is a master copy of the release package and copies are distributed to customers. Depending on Center policy, the master may be created by the CM group and the copies created, packaged, and shipped by another group. Whatever process is used needs to be clearly defined in the release management procedures.
When developing those procedures, consider the following:
Identify the scope of the release, including the full set of configuration items (CIs) that are to be included, their versions and revisions.
Identify the tools to be used to create the release, including compilers and linkers.
Identify the software to be used to create the release, including the operating system, macros, libraries.
Identify software and tool options to be used (compiler options, environmental parameters).
Identify the procedures for creating the master copy of the release or reference them if captured elsewhere.
Identify who generates the master copy of the release package.
Document the format, layout, and media for the master.
Document the verification process to confirm the master contains the proper CI's.
Identify the media to be used for the delivery copies.
Document replication procedures to be used to generate copies of the master.
Document verification procedures to be used to confirm the copies match the master (keep in mind that compilers can insert dates and times, so byte-by-byte compares need to take this into account).
Document any virus checks that need to be run on the copies before delivery to the customer.
Document any testing to be performed at the customer site (e.g., regression testing).
When developing procedures for delivery of the created package, consider the following:
Document whether the release is a full release, partial release which requires a previous full release to be installed first, or a patch; if all types will be used, procedures for creating and installing each need to be created.
Document delivery methods and procedures, including shipping methods, if required.
Document security measures to be used when handling and shipping the release.
Determine an installation schedule that works with the customer's schedule.
Document responsibilities for performing installation and installation testing.
Document responsibilities for configuring and/or customizing the installed software.
Document plans to revert to an earlier release of the software, as applicable.
Storage and Maintenance of the Release Package
As part of release management, the master needs to be safely and securely stored following documented procedures. When developing procedures for storing and maintaining the release package, consider the following:
Document the retention period; e.g., "master copies of all configuration items in a release and the release itself shall be maintained for the life of the product" (IEEE Std 828-2012, IEEE Standard for Configuration Management in Systems and Software Engineering 216)
Document how to place the master into the CM system with its unique identifier.
Document access restrictions.
Document or reference any specific procedures for storing code and documentation for safety or security critical functions.
Identify release records, such as the Version Description Document (VDD), to be captured and stored with the release, as applicable.
When defining activities for release management, consider coordinating or applying the same concepts as part of data management activities. A basic description of data management is provided in SWE-079.
NASA users should consult Center Process Asset Libraries (PALs) for Center-specific guidance and resources related to managing deliverables and releases.
NASA-specific configuration management information and resources are available in Software Processes Across NASA (SPAN), accessible to NASA users from the SPAN tab in this Handbook.
Additional guidance related to CM of deliverable and releases may be found in the following related requirements in this Handbook:

Projects with limited budgets may choose to follow a common Center or project-level release management procedure rather than have separate procedures for each project. Slight modifications may be required for each project, but the overall master process would not have to be developed or maintained on a per project basis.

Institutional Configuration Management Organization,
The NASA Lesson Learned database contains the following lesson learned related to release management:
Computer Hardware-Software/International Space Station/Software Configuration Management. Lesson No: 1130: Although it was "grandfathered" out of NPR 7150.2 compliance, the experience regarding source code for the International Space Station (ISS) is an important caveat when establishing software supplier agreements. NASA does not have source code access for all partners' deliveries for the ISS. The partners cite their concerns that delivery of source code could compromise their contractors' proprietary data. The ISS has initiated discussions with all partners to reach agreement on what level of source code visibility is necessary to ensure adequate knowledge by the control centers for on-orbit anomaly resolution. It is not clear how much extra effort these discussions have taken 541.
Place Flight Scripts Under Configuration Management Prior to ORT (Project attention to configuration control). Lesson Number 2476: "When flight scripts developed independently by project personnel are not placed under configuration control early enough in flight software development, multiple versions of the scripts tend to proliferate and cause confusion and delays. The MER, Juno, and GRAIL projects demonstrated the utility of placing flight scripts under change control prior to ORT." 574
COTS Change Processing. Lesson Number 3457: "The time-sensitive nature of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) configuration changes such as the application of routine security patches and vendor updates/upgrades could not be effectively managed using the time-consuming configuration management practices typical of a custom environment. Systems that use both COTS and custom hardware and software products must adopt configuration management practices that effectively address the unique requirements of both product categories." 580
Software Design for Maintainability. Lesson Number 0838: Impact of Non-Practice: "Because of increases in the size and complexity of software products, software maintenance tasks have become increasingly more difficult. Software maintenance should not be a design afterthought; it should be possible for software maintainers to enhance the product without tearing down and rebuilding the majority of code." 526
International Space Station (ISS)/Multiple Element Integrated Testing (MEIT)/Software Configuration Management. Lesson Number 1165: "Due to the rapid pace of ISS assembly launches and the many and varied resulting configurations, MultiElement Integration Testing MEIT with operational loads of Portable Computer System PCS software is limited and, in some cases, may only be accomplished in the brief time allocated for regression testing." 585
Redundant Verification of Critical Command Timing (1995). Lesson Number 559: "When a new mission software release was uploaded to the spacecraft, the inflight upload failed to include a software patch that had been written to fix a defective countdown timer. Because an independent watchdog timer was planned, but never implemented due to constrained project resources, the thrusters continued to fire after the desired shutdown time and the mission was terminated. Recommendations centered on the need for rigorous software configuration management, a watchdog timer to terminate operations, and testbed verification of in-flight software updates." 586
Reuse of Analysis Software. Lesson Number 2158: "When a project plans to reuse existing metrology software for a new application, a thorough independent review of the software and its new interfaces should be conducted." 587
Institutional Configuration Management Organization. Lesson Number 4516: "Configuration and Data Management CDM is performed at the Kennedy Space Center KSC for hardware and software by the different programs and projects independently of the Center/Institution. What is important for CDM is having consistency in policy, guidelines, processes, and tools to provide seamless and efficient transaction of configuration information. A single institutional CDM organization can provide the consistent guidance and direction to comply with agency, program, and project CDM requirements." 588


Emma the Eager Emu has patience and persistence, so does Frazzled Freya. In both these picture books my main characters learn the essential life lessons that to achieve anything in life you must practice, be patient and continue to try.
One thing is certain, I have also learnt this lesson. In my blog post in May, I wrote about my chapter book set in Bali and how after almost twenty years of writing, rewriting, editing, learning and more editing and rewriting, I finally felt my baby was ready to go out into the world . First I submitted the first three chapters for a manuscript assessment by the incredibly helpful Sue Whiting at the Creative Kid Tales Festival in March. Following Sue's advice I returned home motivated and full of ideas for more rewrites and edits. When finally I felt the manuscript was complete, I found the courage to press the send button and begin the submission process to publishers.
I waited with baited breath. Just when I started to allow self doubt to take over again, I received a reply.
An offer of publication! You can imagine my excitement. To say I jumped for joy would be an understatement. I squealed with delight and ran around telling anyone who would listen. It's not everyday your dream comes true.
The story has improved quite a lot over the years. It is almost unrecognisable from it's original draft. The setting and characters are the same, (almost). We have had a gender change. Instead of three brothers, the middle child is now a sister. It was a great suggestion by the publisher and I couldn't agree more. Not only does it widen the book's readership but as I edited I realised the character actually made sense as as a girl. I don't know why I hadn't seen it before? Sometimes we are a little too close to our work and it takes fresh eyes to see the obvious.
The Adamson family are set for a surfing holiday in Bali they'll never forget.
Dad wants to surf all day and Mum wants to shop. Zac is eager to explore a sunken WW2 shipwreck. Luke is keen to cause mischief wherever he goes. Clare on the other hand, just wants to stay out of trouble.
But while building sandcastles on Kuta Beach, the kids unearth a surprising find that dramatically changes their holiday. Curiosity leads them on a dangerous path to an adventure where difficulties lurk around every corner.
Secrets Hidden Below takes the reader on an intriguing treasure hunt around an exotic tropical island that includes plenty of rotten-egg gas, a guardian snake and a volcano spirit you definitely, don't want to anger.
I've written my bio for the publishers website and thanked them for their awesome words of encouragement. Part of their wonderful review reads 'our latest treasure is very much in the style of the classic mysteries we all loved, ( Famous Five, Secret Seven, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys). Canberra author Sandra Bennett has written Secrets Hidden Below, a rollicking adventure set in Bali for children aged 7-10. What child couldn't resist a sunken Ww2 Japanese shipwreck, a message in a bottle, a treasure map, a guardian snake, lots of rotten egg gas and a volcano spirit? ' I am so humbled that my writing has been mentioned in the same category as my childhood heroes. The new book will be released in August during book week. Thanks Elephant Tree Publishing for having faith in me.
Next my story will go off to the type setter. I will do one last proof read and we will be ready to send the book to the printer.
School visits and book launches are next to plan.The chance to spend time reading, entertaining children and helping them learn is my favourite part of writing children's books. Being able to share read aloud moments with them and seeing their joy makes my day. Exciting times ahead.
Are you are a teacher or parent in Canberra or Sydney who might like me to visit your school for a reading or writing workshop during book week or the weeks that follow? Please contact me here in the comments section below, my email gingerbreadaliens@gmail.com or through Elephant Tree Publishing. I would love to share my new chapter book with your kids.
Now for the big reveal! Here is the cover!
Book one in a series of five short chapter books for early readers. Full of fun, laughs, a bit of science, imagination, sibling rivalry and wonderful illustrations by Hayley Welsh.
Entice your young readers with a glimpse into intrigue, fun and hilarious moments when three mischievous brothers discover the snow balling effects of their mistakes rather than facing the consequences of their initial disaster! A great read for ages 4-10 and beyond. Gingerbread Aliens is full of fun, laughter and entertainment that will have children and their parents giggling all the way to the end.

Improving Tabbing Design in Cylindrical Batteries
par Henrik Ekström
Recently, Tesla Inc., a major electric car and battery manufacturer, announced a new "tabless" design concept for cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. This caused quite a stir among battery pundits. (Ref. 1) Tesla claimed that the innovation brings significant increases in range and power using already existing chemistries. For a battery community used to incremental yearly advances on the single-digit percentage scale, this sounded almost too good to be true. However, digging into the underlying battery physics quickly reveals why this concept could provide extra mileage to our future electric vehicles. In this blog post, we explore this new tabbing design.
Simulating Batteries Using Tabbing
Let's take it from the beginning: A lithium battery cell is constructed as a sandwich of different layers — current collector metal foils, porous electrodes, and separators — which is placed in an enclosure filled with electrolyte. The configuration of the sandwich depends on the type of enclosure (coin cell, prismatic, pouch, cylinder, etc.). Cylindrical lithium-ion batteries are manufactured by rolling the different battery layers into a cylindrical roll, which is then placed in a metal can. The resulting spiral structure is commonly referred to as a "jelly roll", due to its resemblance to the pastry from central Europe.
Cross section of a spirally wound jelly roll for a cylindrical battery.
The current collector foils are usually made of copper (negative electrode) and aluminum (positive electrode), both with thicknesses of around tens of micrometers, or less. The reason for the choice of different metals is their electrochemical stability at different potentials. In order to conduct the current to and from the jelly roll to the outside, to the battery can, additional strips of metal, tabs, are welded to the current collectors. The simplest tab design, used in low-power batteries, places one tab on each side of the jelly roll.
As a first approach to investigate the effect of tabbing, we can create a pseudostationary model that accounts for the ohmic voltage losses in the electronic conductors and the electrolyte, as well as the activation overpotentials due to the charge transfer reactions in the electrodes. The resulting internal distribution of the applied battery current under these circumstances is called secondary current distribution by electrochemists. Since the model does not account for accumulation or depletion of lithium atoms in the electrodes or lithium ions in the electrolyte, it can be seen as a snapshot of a battery frozen at a certain state of charge. In reality, local concentration changes over time as the battery is charged or discharged. However, a secondary current distribution model can accurately predict the voltage losses in the jelly roll at a given moment in time at a given state of charge.
Potential in the negative (left) and positive (right) current collector foils with respect to the corresponding current terminals.
The figures above show the potential distribution in the negative and positive current collectors for a battery jelly roll when subjected to a 1 C discharge. 1 C is the equivalent current required to either charge or discharge the battery in one hour. The size of this jelly roll fits the can of a 18650 battery, which is 65 mm high and 18 mm in radius. We note that although the potential losses in the current collectors are fairly small, they are not negligible. For a larger cell like the 4680 cell (80 mm high and 46 mm in radius) which Tesla is planning to manufacture, the potential losses would become substantial with a traditional tab design.
Since our model is physics based, local heat sources can be readily derived based on the ohmic losses (Joule heating) and the activation overpotentials. When plugging our heat source variable into a heat transfer model, we get the results below.
Temperature distribution in the jelly roll.
Here, we apply a convective cooling condition on the outer area of the jelly roll, prescribing a cooling heat flux proportional to the difference in surface temperature and outside temperature (25°C). The heat conducted through the electric terminals at the tab ends is ignored.
If we look at the temperature distribution, we can see a steep increase in temperature in the tabs. This indicates that the Joule heating in the tabs results in significant local heating for this fairly small battery even at moderate currents. The local temperature difference can also propagate into the adjacent electrodes layers, which then results in portions of the battery been aged quicker, then limiting the life of the whole battery.
The true jelly roll geometry is a bit cumbersome to work with when doing modeling and simulations. For example, it is tricky to draw objects in a spiral geometry, such as adding multiple tabs in the interior of the jelly roll. In addition, it is difficult to visualize the results inside the spiral layers, for instance plotting the current density through the separators at different positions in the roll.
Modeling a Flattened Jelly Roll
Alternatively, we can define the same model on a flattened (unrolled) version of the jelly roll geometry. This allows us to easily introduce tabs and to better look at the model and simulation results. Instead, we can virtually roll the battery. Shown in the illustration below is a flattened version of the jelly roll where the different layers and tabs have been drawn as rectangular blocks.
Flattened representation of the spiral jelly roll geometry.
In reality, when creating the jelly roll from the stack of layers, the front (green) boundary ends up in contact with the back side of the stack of the rectangular blocks, see the figure above. Special coupling boundary conditions, so-called nonlocal couplings in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, are used in the flattened jelly roll model in order to connect these now geometrically detached boundaries together mathematically. This is what we mean above by virtually rolling the battery.
The flattened geometry also has the advantage of requiring fewer mesh elements, since the local curvature of the roll does not need to be resolved. Reassuringly, the temperature profile for the flattened geometry accurately reproduces the results from the jelly roll, see above, indicating that we can perform this flattening transformation with only small effects on the results.
Temperature (°C) in the flattened jelly roll.
The flattened geometry now allows for easy visualization of the cross-separator current density as shown in the figure below.
Current distribution (A/m2) in the through-plane direction of one of the separators.
Current distribution plots like this give valuable insights to the battery designer. In this case, the plot shows a significantly higher current density in the area close to the tabs. This implies that the battery is exposed to more electrochemical wear in the areas closer to the tabs, resulting in accelerated aging. If the cell is allowed to run for a longer time, the current distribution plots shown above would eventually even out to a more uniform profile. However, for a battery being cycled for a shorter amount of time around a fixed state of charge (for instance, a load leveling battery system), our assessment of the current distribution above is fairly accurate.
Investigating Integrated Tabbing Designs in COMSOL Multiphysics
Let's now use the abovementioned modeling approach to investigate the so-called tabless design.
The tabless concept means removing the additional metal strip tabs and instead letting the metal current collector foils conduct the current to the outside. This is achieved by extending the foils to reach outside the electrode areas. Since the foils are very thin, a multitude of these extended foil strips are needed in order to prevent large ohmic resistances. The term "tabless" is actually a bit misleading, since the tabs are integrated into the foils rather than removed entirely. Therefore, we use the terms integrated tabs and integrated tabbing in the remainder of this blog post.
To illustrate how this works in practice, the potential distribution in the negative current collector foil for two cells using integrated tabbing is shown below. Apart from the tabbing configuration, the cells are identical to the examples above. The illustration on the left uses only 1 integrated tab, whereas the example on the right uses 20 tabs on each side. Note the different scales of the potential legends. The difference is more than 30 mV!
A comparison of the electric potential in the negative current collector for two cells using integrated tabbing: 1 tab cell (left) and 20 tabs (right).
Using one integrated tab yields very large potential losses, leading to large local heat sources. As for the cell with many tabs, we get even lower potential losses than for the cell using traditional tabbing.
The example with one integrated tab should be seen as an extreme. On the other hand we want to save metal and battery weight by not using more tabs than required. In order to investigate the impact of the number of tabs, we can perform a parametric sweep study and plot the number of tabs against the total polarization and the maximum temperature of the cell.
Total cell polarization and maximum temperature versus the number of integrated tabs.
As shown in the graph, we start to approach an asymptote fairly quickly. We can see that adding more than 20 integrated tab strips does not lower the cell polarization below the 55 mV level. This remaining cell polarization stems from other processes that are not affected by the number of tabs, such as the resistance of the electrolyte and the charge transfer reactions. We also see that using only one or two tabs is not an option, since the temperatures reach very high levels. A high temperature accelerates aging and is also a direct safety hazard.
Comparing the current distributions between integrated and traditional tabbing below, we see a more uniform distribution with the integrated tabs. In addition, the small distribution effects that still remain when using integrated tabbing are now mainly seen along the height direction of the jelly roll.
Current distribution in the through-layer direction when using 20 integrated tabs (left) and for traditional tabbing (right).
When it comes to heat transfer, integrated tabbing yields improved interior cooling of the jelly roll. This is because the tabs are in thermal contact with the outside cooling surface through an excellent heat conductor, the metal. Every tab is in thermal and electrical contact with the outside.
The figure below shows a temperature distribution of the jelly roll with integrated tabbing. We can see from this plot that the temperature field is much more uniform here compared to the case with traditional tabbing.
Temperature (°C) distribution when using 20 integrated tabs.
In summary, integrated tabbing substantially improves both the conduction of current and the conduction of heat out of the cell. This makes it possible to build cylindrical cells with larger radius, which may also give higher overall energy and power densities of battery packs. A larger battery radius gives a larger ratio between the amount of internal battery material and the external casing (can) of the battery. This also explains Teslas's intentions and claims.
The "tabless" design proves to be an innovative alternative to traditional tabbing for lithium-ion batteries. However, it also brings new engineering challenges that can be evaluated in the COMSOL Multiphysics software.

One of our client haven't activate the HU management, and it is using SU management for his finish good. We want to generate the GS1 compliance label with SSCC number.
Is there a way here generate the SSCC number without HU management?
Sure, just enter for the SU number range as you are provided with your GS1 prefix.
You want to printout the bar-codes for your all units of measure, from the lowest to your highest one.
The approach you take depends on your specific requests, so I can't exactly tell you what to do.
If use the SU number range, how to manage to get the right check digits of SSCC number?
SSCC number has some significance like ILN code, type of packing material etc. Ideally speaking it is good to have HU management active because HU number becomes SU number in WM. Depending upon your business process, if it is not advisable to use HUM then you have to control number range in SU. Another option is to use external number for SU which I believe you not go for.
I tried to put the LE_SSCC number range into the HU management configuration. and LE_SSCC_Generate can generate the number.
If I don't want to activate the HU mgmt, is there an exit to update the number range of LE_SSCC when I generate a SSCC number?
I would prefer HUM should be active, since in future if you wanted to have the HU packing functionality at hierarchy for GS1/GTIN at Carton-Case-Pallet level.
Other details depends on the individual company process and kind of product and kind of business rule.

How old were you when acting became something you wanted to pursue, and what's the story there? I guess my first performance with lines was in the fifth grade. I got to act as a sort of director on stage who was putting a show together. After that, it was pretty apparent that performing was something I needed to do. Even my parents were shocked at my love for the stage and absolute open stage presence at such a young age. Since then I've constantly been in shows, growing as a person to achieve that goal.
List a few accomplishments related to performing: This past year I have been in six shows alone, which has really pushed me as a human being. In the past, I typically stuck with two shows at most. I now see the incredible growth that occurs by getting out there and I feel so grateful for the opportunities we have here in Grand Rapids.
Is there a teacher or teachers who have had a big impact on your involvement in this? In general I feel so thankful for all of the guidance I have received from all my directors I've had the pleasure to work with. Each and every one of them has taught me something new about myself and truly opened my mind up to the possibilities of portraying a character.
Do you plan to pursue this professionally? If so, envision yourself 10/20 years from now. If not, envision yourself 10/20 years from now: I do intend to pursue this as a career. In 10-20 years I am hoping to be working professionally on Broadway and just be indulged in what I love most.
Outside of acting, what are your other hobbies and interests? I very much value quality time with my friends and family when I'm not working on a show. Whenever I have some down time, I'm also someone who loves to write songs or just fiddle around with my guitar.
The biggest lesson you have learned from your involvement in acting is… "You are enough. You are so enough it's crazy how enough you are." This quote was spoken by my current director at Grand Rapids Civic Theater and it has resonated with me ever since.
If you walked into your school building to theme music by a favorite artist or band, what would the song be? Although I'm a bit biased, at the moment, I would have to say "Let It Go" gives me all the power for the day. Haha. I absolutely admire the strength and empowerment the song portrays and it certainly motivates me to do more.

How old were you when acting became something you wanted to pursue, and what's the story there? My family (mom especially – she's a music teacher) is very musically inclined, so I've been involved with music my whole life. I've sung my whole life as well, but I started theater in seventh grade. From that point, I knew it was what I wanted to do in life. There is no better feeling than performing on stage.
List a few accomplishments related to performing: Well, my most recent accomplishments for theatre other than being involved in community theatre occurred last year. I took part in a Musical Theatre Intensive run by the Michigan School Vocal Music Association, which brought in University of Michigan theater faculty. A hundred people performed overall (divided into four groups that sang for certain faculty); eight were selected to perform before everyone (including the faculty) as a recital. Out of those eight, two finalists were selected to perform at the Michigan Music Conference. I was one of those two finalists! So, I got the recognition and opportunity to perform in front of some very important people in the music department.
Because of that opportunity, I got the chance to audition to be in an ensemble to represent musical theatre at the Michigan Youth Arts Festival. And gladly, I got to be in that group at perform at Miller Auditorium at Western Michigan University.
Is there a teacher or teachers who have had a big impact on your involvement in this? Definitely choir director Kris Ryskamp. She and my mom are the reason I got into performing in the first place.
Do you plan to pursue this professionally? If so, envision yourself 10/20 years from now. If not, envision yourself 10/20 years from now: YES! I very much hope to pursue a career in musical theatre and whatever spawns from that potentially.
Outside of acting, what are your other hobbies and interests? To keep it short, I love playing sports, instruments, spending time with friends and family, and of course, I love singing and dancing.
The biggest lesson you have learned from your involvement in acting is… Cliche, but true: You can do anything that you put your mind to. Giving something your all can almost guarantee success.
If you walked into your school building to theme music by a favorite artist or band, what would the song be? Probably "Carrying the Banner" from Newsies.

Name: Abbie Westers
Jam: Theater, currently dance captain for 'Frozen Jr.'
How old were you when acting became something you wanted to pursue, and what's the story there? I have been acting since I was about 7, but as I got older and more serious, the more I realized I wanted to do it as a career. After I saw a show at Civic with kids my age in it I fell in love and wanted to do every show. I would say I was about 13 when I knew that I wanted to go into musical theatre.
List a few accomplishments related to performing: This past year I was Ariel in our school musical, "The Little Mermaid," and this was an amazing experience. I grew as an actor and a person by having the responsibility of a lead role like that.
I also had the opportunity of being the assistant choreographer of "Newsies" at Civic. I learned all of the choreography and filled in for cast members that could not be at rehearsal. This was especially helpful because I was able to fill in for three shows after one of the Newsies got seriously injured.
Is there a teacher or teachers who have had a big impact on your involvement in this? Allyson Paris, the associate director at Civic, has had a major impact on my life. She has known me since I was 10 and has always been there to be a mentor and encourage me when times got rough. I owe a lot of who I am to her today.
Do you plan to pursue this professionally? If so, envision yourself 10/20 years from now. If not, envision yourself 10/20 years from now: I am planning on pursuing this as a career and in 10 – 20 years I hope to be living in New York performing!
Outside of acting, what are your other hobbies and interests? This slightly goes along with acting, but I am a dancer. I was dancing long before I was acting and I love it with a burning passion. Being able to tell a story with just my body is one of the best feelings in my opinion. I also love to draw, sew and write my own songs.
The biggest lesson you have learned from your involvement in acting is… It is harsh, but "there are always going to be better singers, dancers and actors than you, so you have to find what makes you unique to be able to stand out in this world."
If you walked into your school building to theme music by a favorite artist or band, what would the song be? I would probably be listening to a mix of musical theater hits and jazzy pop like Alicia Keys and Ariana Grande.

More detail on this person: BRAUN, David Lee "Dave" (Age 65) Dave was the youngest of three children born to Aaron and Florence Braun. He was born October 26, 1949 and passed away at home in Ritzville on July 24, 2015 after a brief but courageous battle with cancer. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother Dale and his daughter, Angie. Dave is survived by his wife of 38 years, Carla Steinmetz Braun; his son, Dustan (Crystal) Braun of Spokane; four grandchildren: Aaron, Tyler, Sadie and Krista; one great-granddaughter, McKenna; and his sister, Kae (Harold) Koch of Chehalis. Dave graduated from Ritzville High School in 1967, attended Big Bend Community College receiving his private pilot's license; the first step into his goal of becoming a commercial pilot. Instead, he served in the Army as a warrant officer and helicopter pilot before returning home to Ritzville. As a lifetime resident of Adams County, Dave loved farming and was awarded farmer of the year in 2008. He was a jack of all trades and enjoyed working with his hands. Many examples of his handwork in wood, glass or metal can be seen in and around the yard at his home. Dave was a voracious reader of history, reading as much as one book a day when time allowed. Dave and Carla traveled to many of the historical areas he read about and wanted to see. Dave loved to cook. His love of cooking showed in the meals he would prepare. Often you would find a new recipe he "just had to try" gracing the dinner table. I addition he cooked many several course dinners that were auctioned off with the proceeds benefiting local organizations. Two things Dave collected and enjoyed were an extensive collection of cookbooks with recipes spanning over 100 years. Also a collection of John Wayne memorabilia including copies of every movie made by John Wayne. Dave was active in many community events doing whatever was needed to help. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. A private interment will be held at Ritzville Memorial Cemetery. A Celebration of Life service will be held Friday July 31, 2015 at 2:00 PM at Zion Philadelphia UCC in Ritzville. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in David's memory to the Adams County Pet Rescue, PO Box 311, Ritzville, WA 99169. Danekas Funeral Home and Crematory-Ritzville is entrusted with arrangements.


Fashion-conscious belts have been popular for awhile now, so it only makes sense that the trend spread into wedding attire. The last couple of seasons has seen more belts modeled with the latest and traditional dress styles, giving an ensemble a modern look.
Now that Kate Middleton has worn a bejeweled belted reception dress (or perhaps had it sewn into the dress, creating a belt-like look). Either way, expect the trend to be fueled! Adorned with beads, crystals, or embroidery, the bridal (or bridesmaid) belt can either blend in with the dress or contrast it, depending on what effect one wants to achieve.
1. The Duchess wore a contrasting, but neutral, belt to offset her relatively unodorned gown.
2. The beaded belt dresses up a simple wedding gown with color, giving it more visual interest (The belt is available here, from RomanticGowns, in any of 27 colors for around $40).
3. A narrower belt with larger jewels works as well. (This dress is available here, from The Limited, about $300.
4. This satin mermaid gown displays a nonremovable sequined belt (From LightInTheBox, about $250).

Further to the pro-active actions that the European Commission has made since April in response to the evolving food security situation in Malawi the Commission has allocated a further €5,000,000 for emergency interventions to support the most vulnerable groups.
This additional funding comes on top of, and will be complementary to, substantial EC contributions for food security interventions in Malawi of € 17.300.000, of which € 16.800.000 has been allocated for food aid and the remainder for safety net programmes. This is a demonstration of the EC's multi-layered approach, which aims at supporting good sustainable policies as well as immediate relief.
The EC and other donors, working in partnership with the Government of Malawi, started mobilising in April to meet the anticipated shortfall. To date, donors and the Government of Malawi have mobilised 214,000 MT of maize, 18,000 MT of pulses in addition to $ 26 million. The Commission will continue to work in partnership with Government of Malawi to closely monitor the situation as it evolves and to respond accordingly.
Southern Africa faces a food security crisis compounded by political and economic issues. This crisis has to be seen from a broader angle, not only due to adverse weather conditions (droughts, floods) but also due to the political and economic circumstances in each of the affected countries and their combined impact in a regional context. Furthermore, the impact of the HIV/AIDs pandemic exacerbates not only the current situation but also the ability of the region to recover. The crisis has therefore a regional dimension in addition to a series of separate national crises.
This year Malawi has experienced the lowest crop production of the past 7 years causing the President of Malawi to declare a state of national disaster on 14th October 2005.
It is estimated that approximately 4.2 million people - 34 % of the population – have insufficient production or income to meet their minimum food requirements from now until the next harvest in March 2006. The shortfall in production has been compounded by increasing maize prices, which place access to food even further out of the reach of the most vulnerable households, many of whom are already affected and weakened by HIV and AIDS. The majority of those at risk are children.
Europe has proposed a 60% cut in our highest tariffs and a tariff cap of 100% that will put serious downward pressure on agricultural tariffs in the developed world. This is a very deep cut – reducing the EU's highest tariffs by more than half. In cutting our average agricultural tariff by 46% it goes much further than the cuts agreed in the Uruguay Round. It provides substantial new market access for importers while exposing European farmers and farmers in ACP countries that export to Europe to a steep but carefully graduated reduction in their protection.
Would developing countries be subject to the same cuts?
No. The European Union has always advocated differential treatment for developing countries. Under the EU proposal, tariff cuts for developing countries would be set at 2/3 of the level of those for developed countries, and the tariff bands would be 1/3 higher. The maximum tariff for developing countries would be 150% rather than 100%. The European Union proposes a Round for Free for the 50 Least Developed Countries (LDCs): these countries will be asked to make no cuts.
What about agricultural subsidies? You have offered a 70% reduction but Oxfam says this is not a cut in current spending.
The EU is proposing to cut trade distorting agricultural subsidies by 70%, and to reduce De Minimus box spending by 80%. It has already offered to eliminate all export subsidies assuming others do the same.
This cut is deep and real – but it is true that it is based on changes that the EU has already undertaken under the 2003 CAP reform. 90% of EU farm spending has already been 'decoupled' from production: we are now offering to bind those cuts in Geneva.
When Oxfam talks about 'not making real cuts' they are basing this on a picture of the EU's subsidies landscape that is five years out of date, and has been overtaken by internal reform. Should we be criticised for setting reform in motion which we are now in a position to put into this Round? Of course not.
The EU has been accused of blocking wider access to its agricultural markets for developing countries. How do you respond?
The EU will take no lessons from anyone on market access for the developing world. The EU is already the most open market in the world for agricultural exports from the developing world. Through its Everything But Arms system the EU provides tariff and quota free access to all agricultural imports from the 50 Least Developed Countries (LDCs). The EU absorbs more agricultural imports from the LDCs than the rest of the developed world combined. The EU takes 70% of agricultural exports from the LDCs – the US takes just 17%. Almost all agricultural imports from the 80 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries enter the EU duty free or at reduced rates of duty.
We are offering to add to that through deep tariff cuts and a reduction and adaptation of our use of sensitive products to protect some EU farm sectors – and in agreeing to do this we can force others in the developed world to do the same. The EU has consistently called on the US, Canada and Japan to provide an equivalent to the quota and tariff free access provided by the EU's Everything But Arms system.
Moreover, we are committed to ensuring that the Doha Round produces new market access in trade in industrial goods – where developing countries do 75% of their trade.
EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson met with West African Ministers on the 27th October in Brussels to agree on the next phase of the Economic Partnership Agreement negotiations between the two regions. Ministers agreed to start negotiations in 2006 and endorsed a calendar setting out a precise timetable for the talks. This will mean starting work on drafting the text and legal provisions of the EPA and issues connected with market access, including the effect of an EPA on productive sectors in West Africa.
On October 27th 2005, Commissioner Mandelson held bilateral talks with a West African delegation led by the president of the West Africa Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), Mr Soumaïla Cissé.
Economic Partnership Agreements are the trade and development agreements that the European Union is currently negotiating with the 6 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) regions. They will replace the trade chapters of the 2000 Cotonou Agreement between the EU and the ACP countries. The exception of these chapters from WTO law will expire in 2008, requiring both parties to have put in place a WTO-compatible alternative. The European Union has committed to ensuring that the EPAs will guarantee both the development focus and the preferential trading terms currently enjoyed by ACP countries, while complying with WTO obligations. The EU is conducting parallel negotiations with six ACP regions.
At the beginning of his tenure, EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson undertook a full review of the EPA process, putting in place a new benchmarking system and expert oversight to ensure that the EPAs are genuine development tools.
West Africa was the first region, along with Central Africa, to start EPA negotiations in October 2003. The Executive Secretariat of ECOWAS, in collaboration with the WAEMU Commission, is conducting the negotiations on behalf of its Member States.
Since then there has been extensive discussions on technical issues and the process of integration already underway in West Africa. This has included discussions on customs issues, a free trade area, EU import standards and the trade in services.
This ministerial meeting agreed a calendar to begin the next phase of negotiations. This will mean starting work in 2006 on drafting the text and legal provisions of the EPA and discussing issues connected with market access, including the effect of an EPA on productive sectors in West Africa.
Although development assistance will not be part of the EPA itself, parallel to the EPA process the Commission will continue to invest heavily through the European Development Fund in development in West Africa, including in supporting regional integration and related activities. The EU and other donors are committed to providing the financial assistance related to the EPA process.
The European Commission will study carefully the implications of today's decision by the World Trade Organisation's arbitrators to reject the proposed new import tariff for bananas. The Commission had proposed a single tariff of 187 euros per tonne for bananas imported from countries – mainly in Latin America - enjoying Most Favoured Nation status, as well as a duty-free quota of 775,000 tonnes for ACP bananas, as from 1 January 2006. It is regrettable that the arbitrators did not use this opportunity to provide more clarity as to how this long-standing dispute could be resolved.
In an effort to put an end to the long-standing banana dispute, the EU agreed with Ecuador and the United States in 2001 to move from a complex import system based on a combination of tariffs and quotas for MFN bananas to a regime solely based on a tariff by 1 January 2006, and obtained two waivers from its WTO obligations for the preference granted to bananas from the ACP countries under the terms of the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement (the Cotonou Agreement).
The arbitration decision reached today was requested by Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama and Venezuela, while the relevant ACP countries were granted limited participation rights.
The first arbitration award issued on 1 August 2005 found that the proposed tariff of €230/tonne would not result in at least maintaining total market access for suppliers under the Most Favoured Nations (MFN) clause.
On 12 September, the EU presented a revised proposal in the light of the arbitrator's award, for an import duty of € 187/tonne for MFN suppliers and a tariff quota of 775,000 tons at zero duty for bananas originating in ACP countries. The revised proposal was designed to at least maintain total market access for MFN suppliers and an equivalent level of preference for ACP bananas.
The Commission had three rounds of consultations with the interested parties on 5 August, 16 September and 21 September. Regrettably, on none of these occasions did they engage in a meaningful discussion or present a counter proposal. The Commission also held consultations with the interested ACP countries on 4 August and 12 September.
On 26 September, the Commission requested a second arbitration on its revised proposal.

ICICI Bank board is currently divided over whether to ask Chief Executive Officer Chanda Kochhar to step down as government agencies investigate allegations of impropriety over loans made to Videocon group. At least some outside directors are opposed to Kochhar continuing in her role, said sources. The board of India's second-largest private sector bank may meet soon to consider its next course of action. Kochhar's current tenure is set to end on March 31, 2019.
ICICI's board, which consists of 12 members, reviewed credit approval processes and found them to be robust. Headed by Chairman MK Sharma, the board said there was "no question" of any quid pro quo, nepotism or conflict of interest and expressed "full faith and confidence" in Kochhar, a March 28 filing said. The board includes six independent directors, including the bank chairman and head of state-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India, which owns 9.4 per cent stake. The board also includes a government nominee and five executive directors from ICICI. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recently began a preliminary inquiry into an alleged nexus between Videocon Chairman Venugopal Dhoot and Kochhar's husband. A preliminary inquiry is the first step to assess allegations of wrongdoing.
The CBI stopped Chanda Kochhar's brotherin-law Rajiv Kochhar at Mumbai airport as the agency wanted to question him in connection with its preliminary enquiry (PE) against his brother Deepak Kochhar and Videocon chairman Venugopal Dhoot.
Kochhar was intercepted before his departure for a Southeast Asian destination and brought to the agency's office and examined. Although he was later allowed to leave, sources said he was asked to report for another round of examination. Investigators have also kept his mobile phone and passport.

Street art tour guides use VoiceMap
Residents on a street art tour being introduced to the artist and getting to know the thinking behind the artwork.
Local street art guides, Nadia Agherdine and Anthea Brock, are preparing to take their tours to the next level with the use of audio tours to ensure accessibility for more locals.
Since the inauguration of the annual International Public Art Festival (Ipaf) in 2017, they have become the face of local street art tours in Salt River and their tours are now becoming increasingly popular, according to a statement.
After expressing deep interest in street art, Baz-Art, the organisers of Ipaf, extended the opportunity to register and qualify the women as official Western Cape tour guides.
This has "been the start of an incredible journey!" Agherdine exclaims in the statement.
"Being registered as an official Western Cape tour guide became the launchpad for a number of other initiatives," she says. The tour guide qualification has been a stepping stone for her and led her to open spin-off businesses, which are related to authentic and responsible tourism, such as The Cape Malay Luncheon and her own tourism company, Kaytan Tours.
Agherdine, who has recently returned from the United States, boasted about her personal experience on a street art tour in Brooklyn, New York, where with her knowledge of street art she could even assist her tour guide with details of Jack Fox who has a mural in Salt River too.
The statement goes on to say the duo are proud to be part of South Africa's street art movement and are looking forward to reaching the masses with the new audio tours.
Baz-Art not only provided them with the opportunity to not only earn an additional income but also to constructively shape the perception of public art in South Africa. With audio tours being much more affordable, they look forward to breathing new life into the city and sharing the wonders of street art with more and more locals.
Agherdine has since been featured in several local publications and celebrated for her street art involvement and the tours she has led. Thanks to her, a tour patron from America has reviewed the experience as "the most authentic experience of his entire stay".
Brock, meanwhile, out of an earnest desire to share the power of public art with all those she meets, has started learning additional languages so as to extend the tour to more and more interested tourists and locals alike.
Alongside the use of audio tours, the tour guide duo will be hosting ongoing exclusive guided tours for some of Cape Town's most popular opinion leaders and content creators to compound the exposure of the experience, ensuring that more and more people know of and may experience the national open air street art gallery in Salt River.

Ozubulu Community Celebrates Ordination Episcopal Silver Jubilee Of Bishop Uzoukwu
December 31, 2021 Enitan Thompson
Ozubulu Catholic Community, in Ekwusigo Local Government Area has celebrated the Episcopal Ordination Silver Jubilee of one of their illustrious sons, Most Reverend Dr Martin Igwemezie Uzoukwu, the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Minna.
The celebration which started with a pontifical high mass at Saint Michael's Catholic Church Amakwa Ozubulu, attracted Bishops, Priests, Reverend Sisters, top government officials, Ndi Ozubulu, friends and well-wishers who came to share in the joy of the celebration.
The Episcopal Ordination Silver Jubilee also coincides with Most Reverend Dr Uzoukwu's fortieth years of priesthood and seventy-one years of age.
Speaking shortly after the mass, the celebrant Dr. Uzoukwu thanked God for his goodness as well as his parents and teachers and noted that it was a thing of joy and gratitude to God for celebrating seventy-one years of age, forty years of priesthood and twenty-five years of Episcopal Ordination, and called on Christians to live holy lives, donate to the church, render selfless service to God and humanity, among others.
Earlier in a homily, Reverend Father Vitalis Anaehobi spoke about the life and emergence of the celebrant as a bishop, his input and efforts to reposition priesthood within and outside the Catholic Diocese of Minna, stating that he combined his vision with a clear mission which is evident in the Diocese of Minna where his work has uplifted and made the Diocese a reference point among other dioceses.
Speaking on behalf of Ozubulu Priests, the Very Reverend Father Theophilus Odukwe of Saint Charles Luanga, New Heaven, Okpoko, said the celebrant is a man full of grace and prayed to God to bless and protect him.
In a goodwill message, the Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Lady Ndidi Mezue who is an indigene of Ozubulu, said the celebrant has been an achiever in many ways and have equally impacted many lives.
The Chairman on the occasion, and the Anambra State Chairman of the All Progressive Grand Alliance Sir Norbert Obi noted that they are celebrating with great joy, happiness and fulfillment, even as the traditional ruler of the Community, Igwe Nnamdi Oruche commended the celebrant for his contributions in ensuring that peace prevailed in their community.
Correspondent Amaka Chibuzor Okoye reports that a book written by the celebrant, titled " Jesus, Mary I Trust in You'' was reviewed and launched, while special thanksgiving, cutting of anniversary cake and other performances added glamour to the event.

Better still, we help you to get started, then provide as much or as little extra help as you need.
Hand it all over – and go paperless in the process.
If you like the idea of real time, accurate and reliable bookkeeping, but have better things to do with you own time; Xero's speed and convenience means that having us do all your bookkeeping might cost a lot less than you think.
Just photograph or scan each paper invoice, expenses receipt etc, you receive and email to Xero (most people use their phone and the 'share' button which appear when you look at the photo). Once we've confirmed we have it, you can throw the paper original away!

Am I eligible for transport?
When you call 999, an operator will ask you which emergency service you require. In a medical emergency, ask for the ambulance service and you will be put through to one of our call-takers.
Is the patient is breathing?
What address are you calling from?
What is the reason for your call?
Key words are identified to indicate a life-threatening emergency so we can allocate an ambulance at the earliest opportunity.
Further questions are then asked to help identify the severity of the patient's condition so the incident can be prioritised and the most appropriate response provided. If necessary, immediate care advice will be given until help arrives.
In some instances patients may be treated by ambulance staff in their own home.
In some instances patients may be given advice over the telephone or referred to another service such as a GP or pharmacist.
What can you do before help arrives?
Stay with the patient until the ambulance crew arrives and call back if their condition or location changes.
If your house name and/or number is not clearly visible from the roadside, ask someone to open the door and signal to the ambulance staff where they are required.
If it is dark, turn on house lights and pull back curtains.
If possible, collect any medication being taken by the patient.
Stay calm – our staff are there to help. Violent or threatening behaviour will not be tolerated and could delay help getting to the patient.


Dental treatments are advancing these days in order to transform the oral conditions of a person effectively. They play a key role in restoring the teeth size, shape and appearance with cutting-edge technologies for obtaining optimum results. Dentists provide different types of services to patients with well- equipped facilities for improving their overall health conditions to a wider extent.
At the same time, it is advisable to make a study on them for knowing more about the services in detail. Family dentist Ford Lauderdale offers cosmetic, orthodontic and other services at affordable rates for maintaining the quality of life. The services are a suitable one for adults, children, elder people and others in a family to take care of their teeth in perfect condition. It is also possible to evaluate the teeth conditions with the dentist for preventing health ailments.
A dental crown is a perfect choice for fine tuning the conditions of chipped teeth, discolored teeth, crowded teeth and crooked teeth. Another advantage is that it gives ways for filling the gaps between the teeth to avoid cavities and other problems efficiently. CEREC crowns allow the patients to make changes on their teeth with CAD/ CAM applications for experiencing desired outputs. They last for a long time to protect teeth from risks in life. Apart from that, they show methods for choosing the crowns with porcelain and other materials for ensuring a perfect look and shape within a day.
It is necessary to consult with a dentist before performing the same day crowns for meeting essential requirements. Many dentists assist the visitors to select their services with various options for restoring the teeth conditions quickly. Apart from that, they will help to resolve stress and fear issues with sedation for gaining more benefits in the treatment process. It is an important one to work with a professional dentist for carrying out the procedure with special attention.


Dial Actions are "commands" which tell Acrobits client what to do with the particular number. In Cloud Softphone, it's possible to configure which dialAction will be performed when dialing the number by single-tap, long-press and 3D-touch on iOS devices which support it.
For example, you can configure the "call" button in keypad screen to do a SIP call for single-tap and cellular call on long-press, or show all available dial actions as a menu on single tap.
There are two kinds of Dial Actions. The Basic Dial Actions are hard-coded into the app and provide the elementary operations on the dialed number. Programmable Dial Actions can be defined by the user or provisioned by provider and may be used to control advanced PBX features or provide any other advanced functionality.
The table below lists the supported dial actions.
an incoming call will be expected.
compose a new text message to the given number.
shows a menu with all applicable dial actions for the given number.
action will force an off-net call to the PSTN number.
Programmable Dial Actions use Number Rewriting rules and conditions to define how is the given number or SIP uri going to be dialed. When the action is triggered, the rules may modify the number by adding special codes before or after, replace parts of the number, set flags like whether the call should be recorded by the app or not and which of the Basic Dial Actions should be used to actually do something with the number.
Programmable Dial Action should always resolve to some Basic Dial Action on a number which may be a modified version of the original number. The most simple Programmable Dial Action would only have one overrideDialAction rule (without any condition) which sets the action to one of the Basic Dial Actions defined above.
Dial Actions may be provisioned by including a node <dialActions> in provisioning XML. They can also be configured at Cloud Softphone portal and set via Global External Provisioning.
Unique identifier of this dial action. When merging, the app will try to find a dialAction with the same id which is already stored in the app. If not found, the incoming dialAction is simply saved, otherwise it's merged with the existing one.
The default action is merge, which merges this dialAction with those already stored in the app. In case you specify action=remove, the app will try to find stored dialAction with the same id and if found, this dialAction will be deleted.
This key node contains the name of dial action, as it will be shown to user. The content of this node is localizable; it is possible to provide multiple translations.
Some dial actions will need network connection, otherwise it doesn't make sense to offer them to the user. Others will only work on a device with cellular call capability (like call-through based dial actions).
Possible values: <empty>, net, gsm. If left empty, the condition will always show; otherwise it will show only if network or cellular capability is detected.
The rewriting node defines number rewriting rules as specified in Number Rewriting section.


Place 3 mint leaves in each of 4 glasses; add ice. Fill each with 1/2 cup of the clementine juice and 1/4 cup of the sparkling water.
Garnish with kiwi and clementine slices.
Add frozen cranberries or raspberries for a fun, colorful pop.
Fresh clementine juice makes this family-friendly mocktail a delicious and wholesome treat anytime.

Lauren Holiday, member of the US women's World Cup soccer team, is here to answer questions about the importance of saying YES to a healthy lifestyle to accomplish your dreams!
Playing in a FIFA Women's World Cup final must be stressful! How do you mentally prepare to do something like that?
Nothing can prepare you for the feeling you get when you step on that field. The best way to mentally prepare is to clear your head and focus on what you've trained to do. When you train like our team does, those steps are ingrained in your movements. Remember to always trust yourself! If you believe in your training and in those around you, whether that be a coach, teammate, or even a positive role model, you're unstoppable!
How does belonging to a team help you succeed as an athlete?
When you're part of a team, you get constant reassurance that your sacrifices are worth it. All that hard work, training—it's bigger than you. You get to help your teammates, your friends, succeed. For me, that feeling you get when you succeed as a team helps me train even harder. It makes every athletic accomplishment seem even more satisfying and I'm ready to do it all over again the next day.
What kinds of goals do you set for yourself while you are training?
One of the most important goals I set for myself is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I know none of my athletic goals matter if my body can't accomplish them. That means getting a full night's rest every night, eating well, and keeping a positive attitude on and off the field.
When you were a young athlete, what were your biggest challenges off the field? In particular, how did you decide to say "no" to underage drinking?
Now that you have retired from soccer, how do you plan to stay physically active?
I'm not working out as much as I did before—so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is extremely important. The soccer regime is still important to me, so running has always been a big part of my life. However, if I can't run, I'll try to do something less intense like yoga, swimming, or even just walking somewhere instead of driving! I try to think outside the box and stay active for as much of my day as I can!

BEDFORD IS NEW MAN IN CHARGE OF NORTH STARS
By Mike Stackhouse
Photo credit: Robert Murray/Fort McMurray Today/Postmedia Network
The Battlefords North Stars have named Nate Bedford as their new Head Coach and General Manager.
Bedford spent the last four seasons with Keyano College in Fort McMurray, where he led the school to its best ever year in 2016, finishing with a bronze medal in the ACAC.
The 36-year-old takes over from Kevin Hasselberg, who ended his five year tenure a couple of weeks ago to accept a professional ranks coaching job in Florida.
"His work ethic is similar to Kevin's," Stars President Troy Slywka told the Battlefords-News Optimist. "He knows the game well and has a strong passion for it."
The Peterborough ON native has also endured some personal challenges over the last few months as the house he lived in with his wife and young son burned to the ground during the Fort McMurray wildfire in May.
"Having those two things happen in a pretty short span was a tough challenge to go through," Bedford says. "My wife and I had put a lot of time into the college, so to see the program go away was tough and then to lose your house and see so many people in the community go through that tragedy was hard."

Routine maintenance checks this morning discovered a fault with a switch which enables essential backup generator power to Christchurch Hospital Parkside West.
It is suspected the reason for this problem is quake-related damage to the switchboard.
Dr Nigel Millar, CDHB chief medical officer, says the fault needs to be repaired and this means taking essential power offline for a period of time.
"This work is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning from 8am. At this stage we don't know how long repairs will take but don't expect it will be more than two hours," Dr Millar says.
While the repairs are underway, all non-essential power will still work during this time unless the network has a major outage. Non-essential power is power to areas such offices and storerooms, he says.
"We are implementing our contingency plans this afternoon. This means three elective surgery theatre lists have been post-poned, affecting about 10 patients.
"Arrangements are in place to divert acute referrals received from other South Island DHBs as appropriate during the next 24 hours as an extra precaution.
"Plans are also being made to ensure inpatients in the affected areas will continue to receive safe care. This may mean some will be moved around the hospital to areas where there is essential power."
