Education interventions that stimulate complementary feeding practices can improve the nutritional status of children and may protect against future chronic diseases. We assessed the long-term effectiveness of dietary intervention during the 1st year of life on insulin resistance levels, and investigated the relationship between insulin resistance and weight changes over time. A randomised field trial was conducted among 500 mothers who gave birth to full-term infants between October 2001 and June 2002 in a low-income area in São Leopoldo, Brazil. Mother–child pairs were randomly assigned to intervention (n 200) and control groups (n 300), and the mothers in the intervention group received dietary counselling on breast-feeding and complementary feeding of their children during the 1st year of life. Fieldworkers blinded to assignment assessed socio-demographic, dietary and anthropometric data during follow-up at ages 1, 4 and 8 years. Blood tests were performed in 305 children aged 8 years to measure fasting serum glucose and insulin concentrations and the homoeostasis model assessment index of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). At the age of 8 years, the intervention group showed no changes in glucose and insulin concentrations or HOMA-IR values (change 0·07; 95 % CI −0·06, 0·21 for girls; and change −0·07; 95 % CI −0·19, 0·04 for boys) compared with study controls. Insulin resistance was highly correlated, however, with increases in BMI between birth and 8 years of age. Although this dietary intervention had no impact on glucose profile at age 8 years, our findings suggest that BMI changes in early childhood can serve as an effective marker of insulin resistance.

Lankum ~ The Livelong Day
Double Black Vinyl
Dublin four-piece Lankum release their new album The Livelong Day. Made up of brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch, Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat, Lankum have gained worldwide acclaim for their first two albums and captivating, often euphoric live performances. The Livelong Day successfully blends alternative folk and psychedelia.
Lankum honour the sacredness of traditional Irish tunes, but allow them to metamorphose, to grow and breathe like the heavy, ancient breath of the Uilleann pipes which seethe beneath the tracks of their third studio album (and second with Rough Trade). "Drone is a big part of traditional music because the Uilleann pipes are indigenous to Ireland, so we're ramping up that history and taking it as far as we can."
This is the idea found at the core of the universe created in The Livelong Day; expanding and emboldening that which is already playing out in history. Alongside the traditional songs on the record, there are two originals, the haunting Young People and the tragic beauty of Hunting The Wren. With The Livelong Day, Lankum are about to fully cement their reputation as one of the most unique and talked about groups to emerge from Ireland in decades.

After Multiple Reports About New Zealanders Turning In Guns, Guess How Many Actually Did It?
Tyler Durden March 23, 2019
Following reports that a flood of New Zealand gun owners have been voluntarily surrendering their firearms in the wake of last Friday's Christchurch mosque attack that left 50 dead, the numbers are in on how many Kiwis actually handed over their weapons.
Out of an estimated 1.2 million registered guns, New Zealand police report that as of Tuesday night, 37 firearms have been surrendered nationwide, according to BuzzFeed.
No accounting was provided of how many people owned those guns, the types of firearms, or where they were surrendered.
The reports of citizens disarming themselves came after a Monday announcement by Prime minister Jacinda Ardern that several "in principle decisions" on gun control have been made by Cabinet ministers, while praising residents who have surrendered their guns to police.
So far, we know of four people who have; Green Party member John Hart and longtime gun owner "@SirWB" – who each turned in a rifle, a grandmother who goes by the Twitter handle "@FeyHag" who said she requested for her family's guns to be handed in for destruction, and former New Zealand Army soldier Pete Breidahl – who said he warned local police of extremists at a local rifle club where he said he suspected the shooter was a member.
"All I want is to go back to my horses, say goodbye to firearms and the bullshit shooting community and its drama and let the police and government sort this one out," wrote Breidahl in a Facebook post. "I don't NEED, want or care about guns. I can happily live my life without them."
Most reports cited three tweets, including that of John Hart, a farmer and Green Party member from Wairarapa, who told BuzzFeed News he surrendered his semiautomatic rifle two days after the attack.
He tweeted a photo of the form he signed to hand over his rifle to the police to be destroyed, saying, "We don't need these in our country. We have to make sure it's #NeverAgain." –BuzzFeed
Ardern asked residents to surrender their weapons on Monday.
"To make our community safer, the time to act is now," she said. "I want to remind people, you can surrender your gun to the police at any time. In fact I have seen reports that people are in fact already doing this. I applaud that effort, and if you are thinking about surrendering your weapon, I would encourage you to do so."
Looks like that was wishful thinking on the part of the Prime Minister.

Richard A. Anderson
Richard (Dick) Aaron Anderson, 84, passed away peacefully February 9, 2018 of natural causes in his home in Provo, Utah surrounded by family. He was born April 10, 1933 in Castle Dale, Utah to Francis Norman and Zelda Jane Oman Anderson. Richard grew up in Emery County until he was 8 years old when they moved to California. He graduated from Inglewood High School. Where he played basketball, baseball, football and ran track. His senior year he served as the Commissioner of Student Body activities and was voted by his class to represent them as the speaker at their graduation. He was offered a scholarship from Stanford University but after a visit from a football coach from Brigham Young University he accepted a scholarship and went to play football at BYU. He arrived at BYU with high hopes of setting the world on fire but that was not to be. He sprained then broke his wrist in one of his first games and football came to an end. He realized he wasn't there to play football but to meet his future wife. Before getting married he was drafted into the army in May of 1953. On December 26, 1953 while on leave he married Jacqueline Little. They were later sealed for time and eternity in the Los Angeles LDS Temple. He served in the army for 2 years then returned to California where he worked as a painting contractor and they lived happily there for 15 years. They moved to Provo, Utah in 1968 where he continued to paint houses and do finishing work. Richard and Jacqueline had four children: Jennifer, Gregory, Laurelee and Heather. They lived in their Provo home and raised their family for 30 years together. Jacqueline passed away February 4, 1998. Richard later married Jane Ellen Boehm Allred on August 5, 2000. He was welcomed into the Allred family with love and acceptance and treated as one of their own. Jane along with her children from her late husband Rex Allred; Trevor, Darin, Barry, Kami, Traci and Lori gave Richard many wonderful and happy memories during his 18 years with their family. Richard loved serving in many capacities in the LDS Church including: Branch President, Bishop, Scout Leader, Youth Leader, High Councilman and Temple Worker to name a few. He was given the opportunity to go to Nauvoo, Illinois in 1975-1976 to work on the restoration project. He had the time of his life working on the Scovell Bakery, The Times and Seasons Building, The Print Shop, and the Martin Building. He also poured cement around the temple foundation. Richard touched the lives of all he met throughout his life. He greeted all with a big hug whether he knew you or not. If there was a competition for best hug he would definitely win. He gave unselfishly of himself, his time and his talents. He loved his family very much and loved to spend time with them and supporting them in anything and everything they were doing. He loved the outdoors whether it be in the mountains camping, on the lake boating or in his yard planting flowers and mowing the lawn. He loved everything BYU but especially BYU football; he also loved going on drives, campfires, fishing and stuffed animals. Especially if they made noise and moved. He had a larger than life personality and made the world a better place just by being in it. He along with his family appreciate all those that helped him in these last 5 years. Too many Dr.'s and nurses to name but we thank all of you very much. Thank you to Lisa and Josh from IHC Hospice for helping so much during these last few weeks. A huge thank you as well to Dr. Robert Taylor for going above and beyond the call of duty and helping us all through this time. Richard is survived by his loving wife, Jane Ellen Boehm Allred Anderson; children, Jennifer Anderson'Cymbaluk (Al), Gregory Anderson (Susan), Laurelee Anderson, Heather Taylor (Jerald); stepchildren, Trevor Allred (Lisa), Darin Allred (Luz), Barry Allred (Marla), Traci Eddington (Scott), Kami Youngblood (Carl), Lori Searle (Travis); many grandchildren and great-grandchildren and two sisters, Larue Sundquist and Geri Lillywhite.

The Workers' Compensation Board of Nova Scotia recently announced a set of new rate enhancements for 2013. The evolution of Nova Scotia's workplace insurance rates mean employers' safety and return-to-work records will have a bigger impact on rates. The enhanced rate structure will be more responsive, encourage positive change, and ultimately help reduce the human and financial cost of workplace injury in the province.
WCB insurance rates are much like other insurance rates - those with positive experience pay less than those with poor experience. When employers take steps to provide a safe work environment, it not only keeps employees safe, it also reduces workplace insurance costs for employers.
Among the rate model improvements are changes that make rates more responsive to an individual employer's efforts to implement and maintain safety and return-to-work improvements. There will also be a bigger impact on rates when a fatality occurs. You can find out more here.
"An employer's cost for WCB insurance depends on two things – the cost of claims in their industry overall, and the cost of claims in their individual workplace," says Stuart MacLean, CEO of the WCB. "Many employers are making valuable investments in safety within their workplaces, and we're changing the rate setting model to more accurately reflect their efforts."
For the ninth consecutive year, the average rate for 2013 is holding steady at $2.65 per $100 of assessable payroll. Rates are decreasing by more than ten per cent in a number of industries including printing, ship building and boat building, used goods moving and storage and dairy farms. Bakeries, site work (excavating, paving and landscaping), stevedoring, general freight trucking and building material sales, are among the industries whose rates are increasing.
While there has been significant progress in injury reduction over the past several years, 27 workers in Nova Scotia lost their lives in the workplace last year, and there were 6,616 injuries serious enough for the worker to require time away from work.
There is still much work to be done to make Nova Scotia safer.

WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF
At some point in the future humanity will become an interplanetary species, and several billionaires want it to be sooner rather than later.
Blue Origin, the space company run by Jeff Bezos, who wants to one day use the service to deliver goods to the Moon, has said he plans to establish a colony on the Moon, and it could take the first step toward that goal as early as 2023, or even sooner. This means we could actually see two organisations building moon bases at the start of the next decade after ESA, the European Space Agency also announced they want to build a nice three bed condo with a pool, sorry, "moon village," last year.
The first Mars colony will be 3D printed from Martian dust
The space faring firm, founded by Bezos a couple of years ago, confirmed in a story this week that the "Blue Moon" project is moving ahead with plans to land on the moon within that timeframe, as a stepping stone toward a more ambitious settlement.
Business director A.C Charania told GeekWire at the Space Frontier Foundation's NewSpace conference last week that "Blue Moon is on our roadmap, and because of our scale, because of what we see from the government, we brought it a little bit forward in time. I think we are very excited to now implement this long-term commercial solution with NASA partnership."
Charania said at the conference that the first step in Blue Moon is to develop the capability "to be able to land multi metric tons on the lunar surface" as "any permanent human presence on the lunar surface will require such a capability."
It's not the first time Blue Origin has outlined such a plan. Bezos explained in May 2017 that he believes the company should build a permanent human settlement "on one of the poles of the moon," sending supplies initially and using "advanced robotics with machine learning systems on board" to lay the foundations for future colonisation.
The US airforce will rule the air with swarms of drones
Bezos noted that the discovery of water ice at the moon's poles in the last decade changes the approach to such a settlement, as scientists can use the resource to produce oxygen, and now the company is working hard to reach these goals. The New Shepard space vehicle is undergoing test flights for sub-orbital launches, in which the craft reaches the edges of space and slowly descends back to Earth in a parachute.
In December 2017, the company conducted a short trip into space, using the trip to conduct an array of experiments like microgravity suction and zero-gravity glow.
Blue Origin has big plans after these initial successes. New Shepard is expected to carry people this year, while the New Glenn orbital flight vehicle will start testing in 2020. All these projects are also, weirdly, in keeping with the company's Latin motto gradatim ferociter, or "Step by step, ferociously." Grrr.
While the plan is impressive, it may seem out of date before it gets off the ground though because 2022 to 2024 is also the date fellow billionaire space farer wannabe Elon Musk has slated to send his first unmanned mission to Mars before he establishes his own space colony, but this time on the red planet itself.

This is the best screen printer in Nevada (and probably California too)! I usually place 1-2 orders a year for our organization's team shirts and swag and Alive Inside Productions has had the BEST customer service and THE BEST quality and the prices were shockingly affordable! I will be using them moving forward, even if I move across the United States. It was great to hear that they do a lot of business with clients from out of town.
Gawaan was amazing! He was patient while I asked a ton of questions and made some last minute changes. Usually this process makes me anxious because I get worried the logo will be too small, colors will be off, or the shirt quality won't be what I expected. Gawaan sent me home with the design that outlined exactly where the logos would be placed and how the dimensions of the logo. In addition, this company keeps a lot of shirts in the store so that a customer may feel/see the shirt before placing an order. In my experience, screen printers want you to pick the shirt from a catalog with hundreds of shirts with vague descriptions of the feel. The finished products came out beautiful! I'm looking forward to working with him again in the future!
I was searching for screen printing online and went to check out a few places in Las Vegas. When I found Alive Inside, I went to check it out in person, they have so many samples to look at and were very helpful. They answered all my questions and fulfilled my order promptly.

Jane Lynch to Sing the 'American Songbook,' Which Apparently Includes Nicki Minaj
Paige Skinner
| Theater |
Paige Skinner | June 10, 2016 | 12:23pm
Jane Lynch: You know her from Glee, Annie on Broadway and as the host of that game show featuring celebrities. But what about a cabaret show? Yes! Add that to the list of things Lynch does. And soon it will be your turn to see Jane sing in See Jane Sing, Lynch's cabaret show.
Joined on stage by Kate Flannery, who played Meredith in The Office, and Tim Davis, the musical arranger of Glee, Lynch sings a variety of songs, everything from "If Wishes Were Rainbows" to Nick Minaj's "Anaconda," which is her favorite to perform. You can see it all go down at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the House of Blues.
"It's a peak experience for all of us," Lynch says. "Kate Flannery was the first phone call I made. She has a big voice and a big presence. It's been a blast."
Lynch has been on this tour for more than a year now and says the audience reaction is consistent.
"They're there because they love music, they love the American songbook, which is what I tell everyone we're performing. I say, 'Join me on a musical journey through a world of songs that have very little to do with each other except they're songs that we love.'"
Because the show features a lot of top 100 songs, Lynch says they update the setlist as they go. However, she feels they're in a pretty good groove right now. Besides, there are only shows on sale through the end of July.
It's a clean show, with no F-bombs being thrown around, Lynch says. Sometimes, Flannery gets a little inappropriately sexual, but it's tame enough for children to enjoy the show.
Lynch tells us she's working on a Christmas album with Flannery and Davis and will possibly take that album on the road. Until then, she'll finish out See Jane Sing. Before her Dallas show tomorrow, Lynch says she'll meet with a local LGBT organization and have a few drinks.
"I'm the luckiest girl in the world."
See Jane Sing is at 7 p.m. Saturday at the House of Blues, 2200 N Lamar St. Tickets are $35-$55. Buy them here.
Paige Skinner has written for the Dallas Observer since 2014.

Democrats are ramping up their criticism of Republicans by tying them to Wall Street, launching a "coordinated attack" combining national and state party resources, as well as interest groups.
Building off the Obama administration's criticism of banks — including President Barack Obama's shot at Bank of America's decision to impose a $5 fee on checking account customers — they will stress the importance of a strong Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and try to tap into the publicity given to the Occupy Wall Street protests.
Additionally, the Democratic National Committee is releasing a new web video titled "Republicans: On the side of Wall Street, Not Consumers."
SNEAK PEEK - COORDINATED DEM ATTACK WILL TIE REPUBLICANS TO WALL STREET : The Democratic Party, state parties, outside groups and the Obama campaign plan to dramatically step up criticisms of Republican presidential candidates for their vows to repeal Wall Street reform and on Senate Republicans who are blocking the president's choice to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Up to a dozen state parties will offer public support today for Richard Cordray, Obama's nominee to head the bureau. The organizations will partner with consumer advocates, including current and former state attorneys general, and link Cordray's confirmation with consumer protection, credit card company abuses and predatory lending. Watch for statements, letters, calls, press conferences and conference calls and social media efforts. The following states are likely to be involved: OH, CO, NM, AZ, IA, ME, NH, PA, MA, NV and WI.

PG&E seeks bankruptcy protection; Newsom urges utility to 'honor promises'
FILE ART - PG&E
Posted Jan 14 2019 05:22AM PST
Updated Jan 14 2019 07:59AM PST
PG&E CEO resigns amidst financial crisis
SAN FRANCISCO (AP/KTVU) - Facing potentially colossal liabilities over deadly California wildfires, PG&E will file for bankruptcy protection.
The announcement Monday follows the resignation of the power company's chief executive a day earlier.
PG&E said Monday that it's given the required 15-day advance notice that it plans to file for Ch. 11 bankruptcy protection. Still, the utility vowed to provide "safe natural gas and electric service to customers."
The company has already been blamed by state fire investigators for wildfires that broke out in October 2017.
The company says will be able to gain access to capital and resources it needs to continue providing service to customers as it restructures.
Late Sunday, PG&E Corp. said that CEO Geisha Williams resigned, and that John Simon will serve as interim chief executive.
"We believe a court-supervised process under Chapter 11 will best enable PG&E to resolve its potential liabilities in an orderly, fair and expeditious fashion," Simon said in a statement. "We expect this process also will enable PG&E to access the capital and resources we need to continue providing our customers with safe service and investing in our systems and infrastructure."
Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a statement in the wake of all the troubles: "While PG&E announced its intent to file bankruptcy today, the company should continue to honor promises made to energy suppliers and to our community… I will be working with the Legislature and all stakeholders on a solution that ensures consumers have access to safe, affordable and reliable service, fire victims are treated fairly, and California can continue to make progress toward our climate goals."
San Francisco Mayor London Breed also issued a statement on Monday, assuring the people of San Francisco that "PG&E's bankruptcy declaration will not impact their power service. People will still have complete access to power in their homes, their businesses, and throughout our city."
She said San Francisco's public power program CleanPowerSF will continue to operate.
Federal Trade Commission approves $5B fine against Facebook
By AP
The FTC has voted to approve a fine of about $5 billion for Facebook over privacy violations, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday. The report cited an unnamed person familiar with the matter.
Facebook declined to comment; the FTC did not immediately respond to messages for comment. The Journal said the 3-2 vote broke along party lines, with Republicans in support and Democrats in opposition to the fine.
The FTC report has been moved to the Justice Department for review, per the report. It is not clear how long it will take to finalize.
Trump v. Big Tech: Social media summit will snub Google, Facebook and Twitter
By MARCY GORDON, AP Business Writer

Updated Jul 11 2019 06:03AM PDT
President Donald Trump is gathering conservative groups at the White House this week for a "summit" on social media that will prominently snub the tech titans who run big platforms on Facebook, Twitter and Google.
It's a sharp contrast to earlier days in Trump's tenure when tech executives were occasional celebrity guests at the White House, serving as a fresh indication of the president's escalating battle with Big Tech.
Now, Trump regularly accuses the big social media platforms of suppressing conservative voices. He has suggested the companies may be acting illegally and should be sued by U.S. regulators.
Zoom issues emergency fix for Mac vulnerability
By Sriram Sharma, KTVU
Video conferencing app Zoom issued a quick fix to a live vulnerability Tuesday in its Mac client after it was revealed by a security researcher.
The zero-day vulnerability (a vulnerability that hasn't yet been patched through a software update) was revealed by security researcher Jonathan Leitschuh in a Medium post Monday. It would have let any malicious website to force a video call without the user's permission, and affected an estimated four million Mac users, Leitschuh said.
"If you've ever installed the Zoom client and then uninstalled it, you still have a localhost web server on your machine that will happily re-install the Zoom client for you, without requiring any user interaction on your behalf besides visiting a webpage," said Leitschuh. "This re-install 'feature' continues to work to this day." His write-up describes his experience in responsibly disclosing the vulnerability to Zoom, and its failure to comply with the 90-day public disclosure deadline.

Provide six months nutrition kit for a weak HIV infected person/disabled person/old woman, INR 3315
| NGO:Chaithanya Educational and Rural Development Society | State: Andhra Pradesh | Tax Benefit : 50%
People living with HIV/AIDS face greater challenges in maintaining the required levels of nutrition. Despite developments in medical treatment, nutrition remains a key component in managing this condition. The challenges that people living with HIV/AIDS face can be the result of the viral infection itself or from the effects of anti-HIV therapy. Some of the side effects include fatigue, nausea and poor appetite as a result of impact on how the body absorbs and utilizes nutrients. Also, the nutritional needs of people with HIV/AIDS are greater due to their immune system fighting off opportunistic infections that do not normally cause disease in people with healthy immune systems. Chaithanya Educational and Rural Development Society (CERDS) is an NGO based out of Guntur, in Andhra Pradesh, India. CERDS has been working in the target villages by implementing various comprehensive community development programmes for the last 17 years. As part of its activities, CERDS helps people affected with HIV/AIDS acquire the necessary nutrition.

•	They have built a strong rapport with all the target communities.
•	CERDS has 5-10 committed volunteers for its programmes in every village who are well connected with local health departments.
•	Apart of this, CERDS has appointed a number of members of the farmers' clubs in 65 villages recently to help at in all levels of the programme from identification of the beneficiaries to implementation and monitoring.
•	CERDS purchases benefits in bulk for a minimum of 5 beneficiaries and delivers them directly to the beneficiaries at their homes.
•	CERDS maintains a separate register for this activity and enter the names of all beneficiaries and benefits that is provided date-wise.
•	The beneficiaries may have to go to ART centers to collect their medicines.
•	In case of scarcity of medicines at ART Centers, the beneficiaries may have to visit twice or thrice times a month.

Started another journey with new hopes
Rajeswari, 13years, was born with HIV/AIDS. Her father died 13 years ago because of HIV/AIDS and mother was also infected. Rajeswari and her mother have been living with her grandfather and leading life with their meager income. Because of HIV/AIDS, both have health issues and their immune system is gradually deteriorating.
CERDS identified this family with the support of local volunteers, and as was resolved, it would provide basic nutrition items like Milk powder, Raagi Malt powder, Wheat Ravva, Redgram dal, Eggs tray to them at their home every month for 4 months to resolve their nutrition deficiency and to improve their life span. Andhra Pradesh Aids Control Society (APSACS) with the support of National Aids Control Society (NACO) followed by the Guidelines of WHO provides free medicines to beneficiaries.
Since after taking nutrition food and ART medicines, health condition of both Rajeswari and her mother have improved. Rajeswari is now attending school regularly and is improving her academic skills gradually. Her mother is also able to attend labour work. Thus, the sponsor support helped a vulnerable family to start another journey with new hope.

Muslim victims of truck attack given farewell with coffins draped in Canadian flags
By Carolos Osorio Posted on June 12, 2021
Funeral of the Afzaal family that was killed in what police describe as a hate-motivated attack, in London
LONDON, Ontario (Reuters) – Several hundred mourners joined a public funeral service on Saturday to bid farewell to a Canadian Muslim family run over and killed by a man in a pick-up truck last Sunday in an attack the police said was driven by hate.
The hour-long ceremony started after the four coffins draped in Canadian flags rolled into the compound of the Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario, and ended with prayers and condolences offered by religious and community leaders.
The four victims, spanning three generations, were killed when Nathaniel Veltman, 20, ran into them while they were out for an evening walk near their home in London, Ontario. A fifth family member, a 9-year-old boy, is recovering from his injuries in the hospital.
Police have said the attack was premeditated and allege the family was targeted because of their Islamic faith.
The funeral procession later proceeded for a private burial.
"And the very fact their coffins are draped in the beautiful Canadian flag is an apt testimony of the fact that the entire Canadian nation stands with them," Raza Bashir Tarar High Commissioner for Pakistan to Canada told the gathering.
The family moved to Canada from Pakistan some 14 years ago.
The attack sparked outrage across Canada, with politicians from all sides condemning the crime, spurring growing calls to take action to curb hate crime and Islamophobia. The city of London, 200 km (120 miles) southwest of Toronto, has seen an outpouring of support in the aftermath of the attack.
That has given some hope to the grieving community to look beyond the tragedy.
"Irrespective of colour and creed, the expressions of raw emotion, the prayers, the quiet tears, the messages of comfort from people we know and from people that are complete strangers, it has been the first step towards finding a way to heal," Ali Islam, maternal uncle of Madiha Salman, one of the victims, told the gathering.
Veltman, who returns to court on Monday, faces four charges of first-degree murder and one of attempted murder.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the killings a "terrorist attack" and vowed to clamp down on far-right groups and online hate.
"I think we're emotionally exhausted," Imam Aarij Anwer told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp before the ceremony. "We're looking forward to having some closure on Saturday."

A: In your transaction definition in the model file you are specifying a string, but in this line of the script newPost.supplier = tx.supplier; the newPost.supplier property is being enforced by Composer to be a relationship so would have a value something like org.example.basic.Supplier#qqa
