""" 8. get_latest_by Models can have a ``get_latest_by`` attribute, which should be set to the name of a ``DateField`` or ``DateTimeField``. If ``get_latest_by`` exists, the model's manager will get a ``latest()`` method, which will return the latest object in the database according to that field. "Latest" means "having the date farthest into the future."
