Adaptation d'un roman américain au cinéma


GlobalAtlanta: How do you think Turkey is perceived by Americans generally? In what ways do you think that these perceptions may be inaccurate?
Ms. Diamond: I believe most Americans know very little about the Republic of Turkey. What they do know might not necessarily be correct. For example, many Americans feel Turkey is an Arab country and that the Turkish language is written in Arabic. Both are incorrect facts. The Turkish language is written with the Latin alphabet just as in English. Turkey is considered a European country and has applied for full membership into the European Union. Turkey is also a member of NATO. Although Turkey is 98 percent Muslim, Jews, Christians and all minorities live harmoniously and are allowed to practice their religion, cultures, and traditions freely.
Turkey is a secular country. As of 1923 many reforms were put in place by the founder of the republic and the first president, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. For example, women were given the right to vote and to be elected, equal education and employment opportunities exist both for men and women. Most Americans have no idea that the population is as large as 73 million people and that Turkey is the only country in the world that is on two continents—Europe and Asia.
GlobalAtlanta: And vice versa, how do the Turks view Americans generally and in what ways do you think that they may be mistaken?
Ms. Diamond: Most Turkish people form their opinions of Americans simply by what they see in the movies and watch on TV programs.
GlobalAtlanta:How have you in your role as honorary consul general tried to change these perceptions?
Ms. Diamond: As honorary consul general, it is my mission to introduce Turkey to the citizens of Georgia and to promote and expand educational, economic and humanitarian relationships between the Untied States and the Republic of Turkey. To achieve this mission, I founded the American Turkish Friendship Council, a 501 (c) (3) organization. This organization works hand in hand with me as honorary consul general of Georgia.
Through this organization, we have established the Endowed Emory University Turkish Lecture Series. We partner with the Claus Halle Institute for Global Learning.
We provide for credit Turkish language classes at Georgia State University with financial help from the Turkish consul general's office in New York.
Another program of the American Turkish Friendship Council is the funding of the "Catoms" (Multipurpose Community Centers) Scholarship Program. The overall objective of Catoms is to enhance the status of women and the young population in southeastern Turkey. Catoms have various social programs, including a scholarship program. They select successful students who are unable to continue their education due to social and financial problems. The friendship council is a proud sponsor of these scholarships.
The main project of the friendship council is The Turkish Breast Cancer Center in the city of Mersin, Turkey. The center, which will be located in the State Hospital in Mersin, will serve a region of the country in need of a comprehensive approach to the detection and treatment of breast cancer.
The clinic will provide the resources necessary to detect, diagnose and treat breast cancer at the earliest stage possible and to promote awareness of the disease. Early detection followed by treatment and rehabilitation is the key to increased recovery rates.
We are very proud to be working very closely with the Turkish minister of health, Dr. Recep Akdag, and his staff who have made major changes and overall improvement of health and to provide a higher standard of living to the citizens of Turkey.
Turkey has an outstanding medical health system with highly qualified physicians and state of the art hospitals. Many patients from foreign countries are coming to receive medical care in Turkey each year.
The Breast Cancer Center to be established in Mersin will yet be another area of medical expertise. This project will be a collaboration of Turkish and U.S. doctors under the guidance of Dr. Lorraine Tafra, former president of the American Society of Breast Surgeons and director of the Anne Arundel Medical Centers Breast Center Clinic in Maryland.
The above examples are but a few of the projects of the ATFC and demonstrate how as honorary consul general of Turkey and the chairman of the American Turkish Friendship Council, I try to influence the population of Georgia to work together in building relationships and mutual understanding with the citizens of Turkey.
GlobalAtlanta: In what ways has Turkey's economy changed in recent years and what opportunities do these changes represent for U.S. companies?
Ms. Diamond: There have been many changes in Turkey's economy in the last decade. Turkey conveys the highest quality of goods to meet world standards and offers the market the best pricing structures. The Turkish economy has become the 17th largest economy in the world with its GNP at 750 billion U.S. dollars. Turkey is predicted to enter the top 10 economies in 2023. The Turkish economy grew with a 5.8 percent average increase between 2002 and 2008. The national income per capita exceeds $10,000 and has tripled since 2002 as inflation is only about 5 percent.
GlobalAtlanta: How is it that Turkey has emerged with a higher credit rating after the economic crisis than before?
Ms. Diamond: According to Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan, Turkey has experienced a turning point in the history of the economy in the last eight years. Strengthening the economic structure, increasing the level of prosperity and eliminating the problems that constitute obstacles for a functioning healthy economy have formed the main frame of the reform efforts that were started in 2002. Reorganization of the banking system, strengthening of the public financial structure and rationalizing the social security system have all served to this purpose.
In this way, Turkey's economy has grown uninterrupted for a long time and has become Europe's sixth and the world's seventeenth largest economy. The banking sector with high quality assets and 20 percent of capital adequacy level did not need any public contribution even during the crisis period. The Turkish banking structure has a significantly stronger structure than many developed or developing countries. The increase in the problematic loans of the banking sector with high asset quality is also at a minimal level.
GlobalAtlanta: You led a large and diverse delegation from the U.S. to Turkey earlier this year. The delegation was composed of chamber of commerce representatives, economic development officials, attorneys and business people. Are trips like this effective in initiating trade and other business relations? Do you have any specific examples?
Ms. Diamond: In September 2010 as honorary consul general of Turkey, I partnered with TABA, Turkish American Business Association and TACCI, the Turkish American Chambers of Commerce. We took a diverse delegation from the U.S. to visit the cities of Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa and Kocaeli. The delegation composed of presidents of chambers of commerce, economic development official, attorneys and business people interested in initiating trade with Turkey. Highlights of the trip were meeting with high ranking government officials such as the Minister of Trade Zafer Caglayan.
Minister Caglayan pointed out that Turkey and the U.S. are two countries with years of deep routed friendship and alliance. U.S. exports to Turkey are in a highly increasing trend but imports from Turkey have not increased at the same level. The minister feels it is of utmost importance that a trade balance exists between the U.S. and Turkey. The aim is to double exports from Turkey over the next five years.
President Obama and the Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan have established the Economic and Commercial Strategic Cooperation Framework recently. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan and Minister of Trade Zafer Caglayan will represent Turkey. U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk will be the representatives for the United States. Turkish and American businessmen doing business in both countries will come up with new projects and ideas aimed at elevating to a higher level the economic and commercial relations between the two countries.
Several of the attendees have shown an interest in joint ventures with Turkish companies and some in establishing a distribution center for their goods. Overall, the trade mission to Turkey was very positive.
GlobalAtlanta: In what specific areas do you think U.S. companies (especially small- and medium-sized companies) should invest in Turkey?
Ms. Diamond: Turkey has a young, dynamic and well-educated population. Turkey's location is at the center of commercial transit points. The fast developing domestic market is also an important reason for the foreign investor in Turkey. In the last six years the GNP increased from $220 billion to $750 billion.
The population of Turkey is 73 million people. The average age is 28. The potential of Turkey is unbelievable; it has 400,000 university graduates, more than 44 million credit card holders and nearly 30 million Internet users.
Turkey has a stabilized political system and stabilized economy and a low inflation rate, competitive interest rates, which makes it enticing for foreign investment.
The Turkish government also offers incentives for foreign investors. So many top American companies have their business in Turkey including Best Buy, Citibank, The Coca-Cola Company, Conrad, Ernst &Young, Ford, Frito-Lay, Goodyear, Hewlett-Packard, Hilton, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Motorola, Pfizer, Philip Morris International, Procter & Gamble, Starbucks Coffee, The Ritz Carlton Hotel, UPS, Wells Fargo and Nike.
GlobalAtlanta: What will be your major goals as honorary consul general for 2011?
Ms. Diamond: It is with great personal satisfaction that I serve as the honorary consul general for Turkey in Georgia. I have the opportunity to introduce Turkey to so many Americans and build bridges of understanding between Turkey and the United States. In the year 2011 we will be working to put a Breast Cancer Center in Mersin, Turkey. This is collaboration between American and Turkish doctors and will be placed in the State Hospital. The aim is to bring breast cancer awareness to women in the Mersin region of Turkey.
We will continue with giving scholarships to keep girls in schools in the eastern cities of Turkey through Catoms.
We will also partake as we do each year with the Endowed Turkish Lecture Series at Emory University, with the Turkish language program that is taught at Georgia State University.
At Oglethorpe University, we are planning to have a contemporary art exhibit from Turkey. The High Museum of Art is working with us in order to bring an art exhibit to this museum as well.
We will decorate a tree from Turkey and display it at Fernbank as we have done for the first time in 2010. Also, we will continue to be involved with Congressman John Lewis's International Fair.
Once again, we hope to bring many speakers from Turkey to talk about investment in the country and joint ventures that can take place between Turkish and American partners.
As you can see, we expect 2011 to be a very exciting year and hope to bring more Americans together with our Turkish population here in Atlanta.
We want our friends to learn about our culture, food, history and business opportunities and to visit Turkey if at all possible. The future looks very bright.
As honorary consul general and chairman of the American Turkish Friendship Council, I invite one and all to join us and experience the warm hospitality of Turkey!


This is another blog based on my experiences at Monte de los Olivos, the little church I attend here in Ayacucho. This comes from a sermon offered by Paco this past Sunday. True to his seminary-professor self, a few moments were highly technical.
Preaching on the passage Matthew 26: 31-49, more commonly known as The Last Supper, he discussed the connection between this passage and the liberation of the Jews in Exodus. As he put it, you cannot ignore the prior story of liberation if you want to understand this passage.
He also touched on several other technical elements of the story and brought up many a hermeneutical point.
While his point on The Last Supper-Exodus parallel was helpful to my own understanding, I was most moved in my own thoughts by an attempt to bring us, the listeners into the story.
On two different occasions, he spoke about our connections to the story.
Humorous though it might be, Paco said, we can all relate to the disciples here. Jesus has just dropped a bit of a bomb and their first thought is their own part in what Jesus has brought up. They want to make sure they are not the betrayer "whom it'd be better if they were never born." It makes sense. Betraying Jesus would definitely mess with your chances at salvation, even if it was prophesied.
After that, Paco moved through the story, discussing Judas. He laughed at Judas' decision to name himself after Jesus explains that the betrayer was the one who put his hands in the bowl. Admittedly, he would make a terrible mole. Paco did not focus on Judas, however, he moved onto how Jesus must have felt.
Specifically, he asked us to consider how we would act in Jesus' position. Could we remain so calm with our betrayer sitting at the same table?
Honestly, I really don't like those comparisons. There's too many things about ours' and Jesus' life that are way too different for these comparisons to carry any weight. For one thing, Jesus had a lot more on his plate at the moment. Specifically, that he knew he would die within 24 hours and it was all part of "the plan." That's not something with which anyone has experience and ignoring it might help bring you closer, but it is bringing you closer to a different story.
Let's consider the fact that none of us, save a select few living far more exciting lives than me, have or will ever sit at a table with someone whose betrayal would mean our death. More likely, we might sit with one who has betrayed our trust through lies or even more likely "tattled" on us for our own wrongdoing. I'll focus on the first, because that betrayal does not involve a personal shortcoming and is therefore closer to Jesus.
Lies are terrible. They can ruin trust in even the deepest friendships. Yet, we are capable of sitting at a table with them. It's uncomfortable, sure, but it's not impossible. When needed, we can manage a conversation with little or no moments of anger.
Now put that in Jesus' situation. Cause it's Jesus, everything is inflated by a large factor. The betrayal will lead to Jesus' death. The betrayal comes at the hands of one who swore to follow him, not a friend. The betrayal is also part of some greater plan. Most importantly though, this betrayal carries much more weight.
And Jesus, being Jesus, is able to manage with about as much grace as we can manage being around a liar. In fact, I'd say Jesus manages even better than we might in our scaled down equivalent situation.
So as Paco preached on about each moment of the passage, working verse by verse like a good seminarian, I pondered what message there was in making this comparison. I came away with, "all things are more extreme" with Jesus.
A bigger betrayal? A larger level of forgiveness. Like most messages in this blog, this isn't a new one: "Jesus and the triune God's love is extreme." Still, I've never arrived at the point through this route and as my high school physics teacher, Mr. Prziedwiecki used to say, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." And like complex mathematical proofs, I feel more assured that I can find more than one path to this message.
Again, not original, but so powerful when truly taken to heart. In fact, it's unsettling. Consider the greatest sinners of our time, such as Abimael Guzman who led the Shining Path in Peru or President Fujimori who led the violent government response to the Shining Path. God could sit at table with them and even those who have sinned even more, even when we could not.
I do not know whether we are called to welcome those individuals. Still, I do know that we can take heart knowing that God can and does offer us a seat at the table no matter our history of shortcomings.
I know you are feeling somewhat useless, but some of these thoughts would never have come to you if weren't there.
BTW, the sheep and goats passage is coming up in the lectionary and I might just use your earlier blog post about it as my primary resource!
Feel free. It's good to know this stuff gets used.


This technique is useful in biketrials, when you need to drop off sideways from an awkward position. Let's say, when the wheels are not on the same level, on uneven rocks. It you are just out of balance, you can nearly always do an emergency jump sideways with this technique. First you must know how to hop with the bike.
Get as close as you can to the edge on the side you want to drop off. Prepare for an impulse to hop both wheels at once. Regroup slightly on the bike when you are about to jump, slightly off-centered outwards.
1° Jump up with a small push up, followed by pulling the bike with you sideways.
2° Keep pulling up on the bike until you have cleared off the tires from the take off zone.
3° Once both wheels cleared, let the rear wheel go down first by extending the arms.
Just before landing, realign the bike with you. It is important to target your landing zone with precision, and land aligned with the bike, else, you can fall sideways upon impact. Turning the bike slightly with you in the air will stabilise the landing, as you'll land aligned with the direction of the move (usually turning perpendicular to the edge).
When there is no room.
This approach is the cleanest when leaving a rough zone (with dirt and roots or slippery rocks) where it would be too risky to balance first on the front wheel (to do a pivot and drop the rear wheel first) or to balance on the rear. You must really clear the wheels from the edge you leave, else, if a tyre get stuck, you'll fall sideways.
There is no pedal kick at all in this move. You can position the tyres near the edge with small hops, until you reckon you have reached the limit point beyond which the bike will lose grip (if you are on a rock or in a mix of dirt and roots). Then focus on landing your rear tyre on a specific target (for optimised grip when braking for example).

Vanessa Collier	Thursday April 25 2019
Location: Peter's Muskoka
Vanessa Collier
"There's a young lady [Vanessa Collier] came onstage with me, I forget where I was, but she's playing an alto saxophone, and man, she was amazing."
– Buddy Guy
If you haven't been fortunate enough to meet Vanessa Collier and witness one of her head-turning, fiery, and passionate performances, you should definitely make sure you do. As a master musician and multi-instrumentalist, Vanessa weaves funk, soul, rock, and blues into every powerful performance and she is downright impressive. With soulful vocals, searing saxophone, and witty songwriting, Vanessa is blazing a trail, racking up an arsenal of honours, and has already singled herself out as an artist of distinction and one we would all do well to watch.
It's not simply the accolades she has accumulated so far, although they've been many — three Blues Music Award Nominations (BMAs) for Contemporary Blues Female Artist of the Year (2018) and Horn Player of the Year (2018 and 2017), a Blues Blast Award nomination, the Jammingest Pro Award bestowed by the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, First Place for lyrics in the International Songwriting Competition, Best of 2014 Blues Breaker on Dan Aykroyd's BluesMobile — it's the fact that she has accumulated all these honours even while her career is still in its infancy. A 2013 graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, she's toured nationally and internationally, released two critically acclaimed albums (2014's Heart, Soul & Saxophone and 2017's Meeting My Shadow), and will release her highly anticipated self-produced third album, Honey Up, in July 2018.
These days, Collier spends much of her time on the road, performing at some of the most prestigious music festivals in the world. Her talents have taken her to the Blues Music Awards Show where, in the words of the Blues Foundation, Vanessa "blew the doors off the Blues Music Awards!"; Ottawa Blues Festival, where she earned two front page newspaper photos and rave reviews after her foot stomping debut there; twice on the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise, where she earned the Jammingest Pro Award and was a featured artist with Tommy Castro's Blues Review; Briggs Farm Festival, where she was the "most popular Briggs Farm act in 2017" (Elmore Magazine), and the list continues. In 2017, Vanessa was also a featured artist in three major tours across Europe as part of Ruf's 2017 Blues Caravan.
As for Collier, she says she's happy performing on stages across the world, hoping that she can make a difference with fans and followers along the way. "I am driven to do this because I find it a total form of expression and connection," she explains. "I love connecting with an audience and feeling their energy and I hope to inspire people to follow their dreams and passions, to find what brings them joy, and then to pursue it doggedly."

If this is your first or only child heading off to college, prepare for changes at home.
I've shared a guest post by a college administrator about surviving your freshman's first semester. Now I'd like to take a closer look at what's happening at home.
A new household takes shape Whether one teenager set off for college or your nest emptied completely, changes are afoot. One less voice at the dinner table makes a difference, no matter how big or small your family. There are also things like less laundry and modifications to your grocery list.
When we sat down for the first dinner after our daughter, our oldest, left for college, I cried when I looked at her empty chair. A little much, I know. My husband and son laughed at me. The next night my husband changed our seats.
Focusing on the younger siblings Though you didn't completely ignore your other kid(s), the one going to college took center stage for the past year or so. Now you can give everyone the time they need. Conversations in the car or at mealtimes (that schedule might change, too) will bring some new perspectives.
Be aware that not all sibs want the extra attention. My son freaked a bit before his sister left for college worrying that I would turn too bright a spotlight on him. Of course he was entering junior year of high school and knew I'd be on him about starting his prospective college list, planning campus tours, etc. Later on, he told me I wasn't as bad as he'd feared. Thanks, I think.
Take advantage of your new availability to attend more of your other children's activities, be a parent volunteer (okay, maybe they won't want this one) and more easily give them your undivided attention when they need it.
When everyone misses the college freshman Each family has its own dynamic and when one child leaves, even temporarily, there can be a hole. Be prepared for the mourning period by everyone left at home.
You may not have realized how much your kids talked to each other until they can't as easily. Encourage the sibs to keep in touch. Mine texted each other during the day and sometimes knew more about what was going on with the other than I did.
Whether yours is a single- or two-parent household, when your only child leaves the nest for a while, you realize you're entering a new phase of your life. Embrace the moment, the same way you did when your child first entered your life.
Don't make every discussion about the college kid Do you remember that "Brady Bunch" episode when Jan complains, "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," because she felt her older sister was all everyone wanted to talk about? If you handle this wrong, the kid(s) at home will feel the same way. Sure, acknowledge that you miss your son or daughter, then enjoy everything going on with your other child/children. Remember, they'll be leaving one day, too.
If your nest is completely empty, take advantage of the opportunity to talk with adult friends and family about topics other than your kids once in a while. You might find the change refreshing.
Turn it positive Stop staring at the empty bedroom and appreciate the fact that you raised a young adult who can live without you. Enjoy the opportunity to focus on your other child/children, your career, yourself and, if you have one, your spouse or your partner.
As a member of the sandwich generation, you might finally have some of that extra time you've wanted to give to your aging parents, whether it's an additional phone call during the week or dinner together once in a while.
Instead of wallowing in the realization that you can't watch your teen in any more high school football games or band competitions or musicals, be grateful that you were able to do those things. Not all parents can make the time.
Don't worry Parents'/Family Weekend really isn't that far away, then it's Thanksgiving and Winter breaks, and the nest will fill up once again. That's when you'll need my post on the first visit home.
Experienced parents, share how you dealt with your nest emptying in the comments section below.
Between the two of us we have sent our three oldest to college and lived to tell the tales. They all live within driving distance and with game sot watch and visiting days plus generous school holidays, we see them quite often. Plus, January – it is a very long month for some schools that barely acknowledge it as part of the academic calendar.
Thanks, Grown and Flown. There are usually more opportunities to see our college kids than most parents realize that first year.

How can pandemic affect your employment?
ResumesUniverse.comCareer advice Job Search How can pandemic affect your employment?
by Tim Miller
Reducing office workers by one-third, the final retreat of retailers online and the radical renewal of healthcare and education are just some of the changes that await us.
The world economy has experienced several global crises over the past 30 years, but none of them has changed our lives so rapidly. The coronavirus pandemic is destroying transport and production chains at an incredible speed, forcing states to return borders and rebuild key public institutions, universities are rapidly moving to distance learning. But this is not a step into the abyss, it's the path to a new reality, which is based on the technological revolution, on the achievements of the industry. However, the road will not be easy.
Cost Savings and the End of Office Plankton
Thousands of companies around the world are moving their employees to remote employment. The trend to expand work outside the office, which has been discussed over the past few years, at one point has become a reality for millions of employees around the world. Most likely, this forced global experiment will be successful, which will inevitably lead to a radical reformatting of the labor market and, therefore, the emergence of new social challenges.
The main thing that leads to a reduction in the number of employees working in the office is cost savings. It will be possible to reduce rental costs, reduce staff (secretaries, security guards, drivers), as well as move from the hierarchical structure of the company to a cloud-type structure. We see the upcoming simplification of business organization, the simplification of large organizations in general, and quite severe savings in organizational costs for controlling employee behavior – the time of arrival at the office, the duration of the lunch break, and dress code will not be so important. Only the results of labor will be monitored.
This will get rid of such fetishes of the past as a workweek or workday. After all, if a transition to a new labor relationship is possible, where the product is essential, then the time spent on the production of the product and the place are of no interest to anyone. However, this is also a massive chance for mothers and fathers with young children. The birth and upbringing of a child cease to be the basis for interrupting a professional career.
The cloud-based organization, control of results, simplification of labor agreements will make the maintenance of bloated back-offices unnecessary. As a result of all changes, the number of office employees may be reduced in some cases by one third.
In a number of countries, this will sharply raise the question of what to do with unclaimed people. It is possible that even the American economy, which had previously avoided substantial unemployment, would face this problem. But the quality of unemployment will also change. Until now, it was believed that if you are educated, smart, and ready to work, you will find work anyway. Well, if you are unemployed in a big city – this is your choice.
In the new reality, everything will be tougher. There will be losers who are not bad workers, but who just turned out to be slightly worse than other workers of the same kind. The phenomenon will become very similar to the unemployment of industrial workers in the first half of the twentieth century when job loss was perceived as a social challenge. And this time, it will be seen in the same way. Because it's one thing when a person voluntarily chose not to look for work, and another thing when the narrowed demand for workers increases the likelihood of "bad luck" for them.
Trading without rent
A couple of years ago in Beijing, I was struck by the emptiness in the shops – a couple of buyers roamed the entire huge floor, and these were foreigners. Chinese colleagues enlightened – so we have been buying everything online for a long time. American and European stores resisted longer.
The crisis will push noticeable changes in retail. Compare the prices of electronics (yes, anything) in online stores and regular retail chains or company stores – the difference starts at 20 and often ends at 50%.
E-commerce will finally replace the traditional one, leaving it with separate niches such as expensive boutiques or supermarkets. But in parallel, the delivery industry will grow sharply. It will become more convenient and more accurate because people will not agree to wait for orders for hours at the expense of their time. The system of clothing and shoe sizes is detailed, and the fitting will take on a simple digital dimension – the virtual fitting engines have already been developed. If today the chains still resist labeling of goods, tomorrow they will realize that this is their advantage over the "wild" sellers.
The city expects a drop in demand for office and retail real estate; these markets will shrink by 25 and 50%, respectively. The fate of shopping centers is to become family entertainment centers, food courts, and coworking. Yes, they will continue to be interspersed with showrooms, where you can "touch" new things and devices. But buyers at least will not carry what they bought with them. And coworking in shopping centers and on-site stores will be especially in demand in residential areas: not all workers staying at home can afford to set aside a separate room for work.
Savings in retail spaces and partly in sellers will reduce costs by 20-30%, even taking into account the increased costs of the delivery system. It will increase the profitability of the business or entirely go to lower prices. It will be decided in the struggle of significant retail for survival. On the side of big players, reputation, guarantees, and prompt service will play against unknown companies. For durable goods – life cycle contracts. Instead of buying and delivering a TV – connecting and using it without problems for five to seven years, timely updating of the model. Who will own the item "TV" in this case is not so important.
In my opinion, large retail chains will not only survive – they will win.
State reboot
Tectonic shifts in the labor market can lead to a completely different structure of social relations. It is quite possible, even to new social battles, similar to the struggle for the socialism of the first half of the twentieth century.
An alternative could be a softer European model of the distribution of "no work" for everyone. In fact, in one form or another, a guaranteed income model may start to function, in which, on the one hand, you do not work and get relatively decent money, on the other, unemployment is distributed among all members of the society by legislatively restricting working hours, for example, four working days. But such a maneuver is ineffective in the long run. When removed, the line between working and non-working time is conditional, and the employer will hire only productive people.
The state will have to deal with the problems of citizens who lose their jobs and their usual way of life. A real reboot awaits him. Today we relate to the state as a kind of regulator of what we are doing. Or we perceive it as something not very necessary. In the second case, a kind of spontaneous liberalism manifests itself, which has developed in our societies. Neglect of the state applies to Europe, and Russia, and the United States.
If the crisis associated with coronavirus lasts more than a year, in the public mind in many countries of the world, a policy of sustainability will become more important than a policy of growth. The state will be in demand primarily as a guarantor, a mechanism for ensuring sustainability. Such an increase in the value of the state will be associated with an increased willingness of people to obey it, to give up part of their rights in a crisis.
The state as a stabilizer and state policy aimed not at growth, but at sustainability, not at changes, but at reproducing predictable living conditions for people who themselves will continue to set goals, can be the strongest result of the current crisis. Growth will become a problem for individuals, a common goal – sustainability.
The new medicine, new moral
The coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated humanity's readiness for solidarity; peoples and governments made an important choice between economic growth, income generation, and the preservation of the lives of older people. Such a decision is no less historically important than the formation of a pension system and public medicine in the first half of the last century.
The value of a person is absolute; it is not limited to human capital – its ability to work and generate income for its family, employer, and state. These words materialized in mass behavior, and they became an economic fact of the beginning of 2020. For the first time in history, the world can be proud of the decline in GDP. Let's hope that in a few months, this reason for pride will disappear.
Nevertheless, medicine will receive a serious impetus and a change in the focus of its development. If today in developed countries this is largely a private matter, everyone's private responsibility for their health, where you buy insurance depending on your income, then a shock from a pandemic is likely to lead to an expansion of the area and scale of public responsibility for the life and health of citizens. Moreover, the digital revolution provides fairly affordable solutions in this area. Early diagnosis and remote monitoring of the condition of chronic patients – the projection of the "Internet of things" on the "Internet of the body"; free or preferential provision of medicines – all this ultimately can change the ratio of insurance and state (charity) medicine in favor of the latter.
Global University, Distributed University
Incredible changes are taking place in the field of education, which has been at the forefront of the global crisis transformation. In full view of almost a few days, full-time formal education completely stopped, but universities and schools in most countries did not stop, but continued to work remotely or were preparing to do so.
The changes have been accumulating for almost ten years. Global MEP platforms are snowballing – massive open online courses. The number of their students is already comparable with the number of university students. People, wherever they are, can take courses at Harvard, Yale, London School of Economics, Moscow State University. In advanced universities in the world, the curriculum contains hundreds of online courses, mainly "alien" professors. Digital platforms are being developed in schools that offer many options for lessons and independent work.
The new methods, with all their effectiveness, were rejected or ignored by the traditionalists from the threshold, and the majority of traditionalists in education. Work in the conditions of crisis and forced isolation will force everyone literally to master modern technologies in practice. Upon overcoming the crisis, the school will no longer return to its traditional state.
The crisis will push the abandonment of obviously obsolete forms of teaching. First of all, lectures, the form of which does not change from the XVI-XVII centuries. Before the crisis, they were visited on average by 15% of students. Today it is already obvious that an online course is a much more mobilizing form than a standard lecture. It has more built-in controls, and the development of the material is more sustainable. The main advantage for the student is that you can listen to such a course at any convenient time. Many educators claim that even in online workshops provides a better concentration of participants.
Online technologies will allow people within their educational program not only to choose courses of eminent universities but also to mark them.
This kind of marking can be called a micro degree, which a person wants to indicate in his resume, along with an indication of the degree of undergraduate or master's degree from a university of lesser prestige. A new signal will appear in the labor market, which will significantly affect the selection of workers.
As the next step in the development of education, a kind of composite degree will arise when a student independently chooses online courses for himself from a set of possible ones and finds an educational institution that recognizes them and issues a bachelor's or master's diploma. In the field of mass higher education, universities-integrators will appear.
But neither the university nor the school will leave the stage. Man is a social being, and the quality of education directly depends on the quality of the educational environment, which cannot all be virtual. Coworking and laboratories instead of lecture halls and classrooms. A significant increase in the recreational and sports component of educational spaces. In the coming decades, humanity will invest in the construction of new campuses.
New technologies will make education less formal and more distributed. Educational giants will enter educational content production. Educational products will lose university (school) academic status, and interactive digital systems will take the place of traditional textbooks. An educational environment will appear where the difference between primary and secondary education will disappear. As a result, when this crisis does end, the world around us will turn out to be completely different.

ARUBA, International School of Aruba
Many thanks to the students from the International School of Aruba (ISA) for this fantastic drawing.
The young people say: "We need Peace for not having wars and we can work together like Aruba that is one HAPPY ISLAND!"
Thank you also to Karoli Melwani for organising the project giving all the middle school students a voice for peace.
Aruba Flag Meaning:
There are conflicting meanings of the Aruba flag's colours. One theory states that the four pointed star represents the island itself and its four main languages, Papiamento, Spanish, English and Dutch. The light blue represents the sea and sky. The yellow stripes stand for the wanglo, a yellow coloured rain-flower. Another theory states that yellow is the colour of abundance, representing Aruba's past and present industries of gold, aloe and oil; red stands for the love that each Aruban has for their country and for the ancient industry of Brazil wood; and white represents the snow-white beaches as well as the purity of the hearts of Aruba's natives who strive for justice, order and liberty. The yellow stripes also symbolise the free and separate position the island enjoys in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Saint George School
"Saint George School proudly presents the art work of Mary Liang to be part of the Peace Quilt for the Summer Olympics 2012 in London.
We would like to extend our most sincere gratitude for allowing our students to be part of such an important event and message to all the world. We firmly believe that these types of educational projects also serve a lesson in civics and the need for Peace during times of conflict throughout the world.

A huge thank you to all the students who took part and to Valinda Valdez for making it all possible.
Dominican Republic Flag Meaning:
The flag of the Dominican Republic was designed by founding father Juan Pablo Duarte, and adopted in 1844. It is centered with a white cross that extends to the edges and divides the flag into four rectangles. The colour blue is for liberty, red for the blood of heroes, and white for salvation. A small coat of arms rests at the centre of the flag.
The Dominican Republic coat of arms features a shield in quartered colours of the flag, with a laurel branch to the left and a palm frond to the right. The blue ribbon above the shield displays the national motto: Dios, Patria, Libertad (God, Fatherland, Liberty). Below the shield, the words República Dominicana appear on a red ribbon. In the centre of the shield, flanked by six spears, is a Bible with a small golden cross above it. Popular belief claims that the pages are opened to the Gospel of John 8:32, which reads, "Y la verdad os hará libre." (And the truth shall make you free.)
BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA United World College in Mostar
From UWC, Mostar in Bosnia & Herzegovina we received six paintings submitted on behalf of other schools in the town. Thank you to all the students involved both for their leadership and creativity.
This first design was chosen to represent the young people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and was created by Andrea.
Andrea's message: "Peace is in love and understanding people."
The next quote reads: Everything we need is peace.
"Mir je Povezanost" meaning Peace is connection, by Amar P.
We believe the translation of the next quote reads, "Peace is a cool and happy friend."
We are unsure of the translation for the next quote but is something like 'Peace is a good life.' If anyone is able to translate Bosnian we would very grateful if you are able to translate for us.
The final quote is: Mir je sastavni dio Livota meaning Peace is an integral part of life.
Special thanks to Larisa Maksumic, who, as a coordinator in this school, organised students to be leaders for this project. In turn these leaders organised the activity in their town with many paintings completed as a result. It was a great foresight on Larisa's part and we are very grateful to everyone who has taken part from Mostar.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Flag Meaning:
The three points of the triangle stand for the three nation theory of Bosnia, representing the people who make up the nation. These are the Croats, Bosniaks and Serbs. The white stars represent Europe and they are meant to be infinite in number.
TURKEY, Islim Marufogu Elementary School

The students' message: "Peace is a power that cannot be defeated or destroyed."
Thank you to Pratibha Arora, Y1A teacher for the coordination of this project in your school.
Russian Flag Meaning:
The design of the Russian flag is based on the flag of the Netherlands.
The Russian flag has also inspired the flags of many Slavic nations of Europe, and the colours are often referred to as the pan-Slavic colours.They have come to represent Slavic independence and unity. There is no official meaning of the Russian flag but some Russians believe the following: In Russia the white symbolises generosity and frankness; blue stands for loyalty, honesty and wisdom; red means courage, magnanimity and love. Many people also believe red represents Russian people, blue represents the Ukrainians, and white represents the Belo Russians.
COSTA RICA, The Lincoln School
Thank you so much to the students of the Lincoln School for this design chosen to represent Costa Rica.
"This is our contribution to the Peace Quilt, it´s a traditional Costa Rican landscape.
The quote was created by a 4th grade student, the original idea for the landscape was developed by one of our 4th graders but this particular drawing was done by one of our 5th grade students.
Please let me know if there is anything else we can help you with!" Marta
Their message: "We all wish for peace because it`s love`s sister and happiness` brother."
Thank you to Marta Merino, Art teacher, for the successful completion of this project for Costa Rica.
Costa Rican Flag Meaning:
The colours of the Costa Rican flag represent different aspects of Costa Rica: The colour blue represents the sky, opportunities at reach, intellectual thinking, perseverance, infinite, eternity, and ideals of the religious and spiritual desires; the colour white symbolises clear thinking, happiness, wisdom, power and beauty of the sky, initiative to search for new endeavours, and peace; and the colour red represents the warmth of the Costa Rican people, their love of life, their blood shed for freedom, and their generosity.

The young people of Suriname say: "We all wish for peace because it helps us to be better human beings and to respect everyone."
Thank you to Carmen Miller for coordinating the project in this school and to all the students for this lovely design.
Suriname Flag Meaning:
The red stripe represents the country's progress and struggle to achieve a better quality of life. The white stands for freedom and justice and green symbolises the fertility and natural resources of the land, as well as hope. Originally, the colours also represented three of Suriname's political parties. Red was for the Hindu Vatan Hitkari, white represented the People's Party and green stood for the National Party. The star represents a golden future for Suriname, achieved through unity and hard work. The individual points represent the country's five main ethnic groups of the nation which are Creoles (mixed African and Native American descent), Asian Indians, Chinese, American Indians and Europeans.

Thank you to all involved in creating this design, with additional thanks toPascal Gautherot, English teacher at the school, for helping to co-ordinate this project for French Guiana.


What child hasn't played "Cowboys and Indians?" Or watched classic TV shows like Bonanza, The Rifleman and Gunsmoke? Or tried to learn fancy rope tricks with a lasso?
Maybe you're a fan of Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour novels. Maybe you love the old B-movie westerns. Or maybe you're fascinated with the history of the American West.
Whatever the reason, you're drawn to cowboy culture. You try to live by the Cowboy Code that your favorite heroes exemplified--even though parts of it aren't as politically correct as they were 50 years ago.
If that describes you, we have costumes that let you live your fantasy. Even if you've never been close enough to an actual horse or cow to touch it, you can dress like a cowboy. Or if a cowgirl Halloween costume is what you're after - we have just what you need. We have shirts, chaps, vests, hats, boots, bandanas, toy ropes and cap pistols. We have adult and kids' sizes. We have looks that range from rugged to rhinestone.
Set up your own posse with a group of friends, or check out our saloon girl costumes for your little lady. You can even bring along your trusty horse--as a stick hobby horse, or as a friend or two in costume.
The Old West still lives!

Costs rise on £10m Liverpool bridge replacement
A project to replace the Great Howard Street Bridge on the A565 in Liverpool has seen construction costs grow by more than £1m due to delayed service diversions and "unforeseen issues", according to the council.
The A565 is one of the city's principal transport routes linking Sefton and the city centre and the docks. The works included replacing a weak bridge over a disused railway line, allowing more road freight to use the route without a weight limit.
Contractor Graham was awarded the £6.7m deal through Highways England's Collaborative Delivery Framework, which is backed by the Department for Transport and £1.2m of funding from Liverpool City Council's match funding. Works started in July 2016.
However, the project's construction costs are now facing a budget increase of £1.3m, rising from £6.7m to £8m, after a number of impacts on programme and cost. The overall project is now expected to cost around £10m.
According to the council, these include unforeseen ground conditions, delays to service diversions by service providers, and additional instructions. Additional instructions included the retention of existing cast iron columns on the bridge due to their historic value, and the addition of parapet artwork and other improvements to the surrounding area.
The council said these instructions were not confirmed prior to the project going out to tender "due to the urgency to commence the works on site", but added the additional works were only instructed "when value for money was confirmed and required approvals were in place".
Graham has worked with the council to value engineer the project, and steps have been taken to keep costs down, including reusing existing drainage where possible, instead of replacing it.
The council added the budget for the project needed to be increased "as a matter of urgency" to make sure it meets contractual deadlines and "the contractor is paid in a timely manner".
The additional funding for the project will come out of contingency allowances originally agreed in the original budget, with an additional £300,000 to be used from the city's £80m highways investment fund.
Final project costs are yet to be confirmed, and the council said any further funding shortfall would be "highlighted as soon as possible".
Liverpool City Council's cabinet is due to discuss the proposals at a meeting on 26 January.

}

И теперь функция сможет принять любой примитивный тип, так же для обобщений есть <class T>.
В Rust'же, мы можем давать обобщениям ограничения по типажам, но как давать обобщениям ограничения по примтивным типам? Просто например если мы не укажим ограничения обобщению вообще, пользовать мы ним не сможем, потому что на момент обьявления, мы точно не знаем есть ли на T операции как для числовых типов, например.
fn example<T>(param: T) {
    param + 1//error
}

example(12);

То есть мы не можем нормально указать функции что обобщения будет любого численого типа, но мы можем ограничить обобпщение по трейту, например
trait Test {
   fn test(&self);
}

fn example<T: Test>(t: T) {
    t.test//working
}

Ну в итоге главный вопрос, как дать обобщенному типу ограничение по примитивному типу? Например по всем числиным типам. Возможно ли это? Или надо писать трейт который будет реализовываться для i32 например? Или это не имеет смысла?

A: В стандартной библиотеке есть типажи вроде ops::Add и т.п. Если нужно что-то более точное, то обычно используют типажи из пакета https://docs.rs/num:

extern crate num;

use num::PrimInt;
use std::iter::Product;

/// Find the factorial of n
fn factorial<T>(n: T) -> T
where
    T: PrimInt + Product,
{
    num::range(T::one(), n + T::one()).product()
}

fn main() {
    let a: u8 = factorial(3);
    println!("u8 = {}", a);
    let b: i32 = factorial(4);
    println!("i32 = {}", b);
}

Can Election Night End In A Tie? Electing A New POTUS Might Not Be As Easy As You Think
by Danielle Campoamor
Thanks to an unprecedented 2016 presidential election, the country is waiting with baited breath to see how it'll end. Unfortunately, it might not end as easily (or as quickly) as voters hoped. As polls start to close, United States citizens are asking, "Can election night end in a tie?" Turns out, it actually can, so electing a new president of the United States might not be as easy the collective "we" hoped it would be. Put on a pot of coffee, because we might all be in for a very long, very confusing, and very frustrating night.
Of course, fueling the fear that a tied election night might be in our country's future, is the seemingly head-to-head race currently happening in the Florida. Recent reports show somewhat of a back-and-forth, flip-flop situation between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Currently, Trump leads Florida with 48.7 percent of the vote, with Clinton trailing with a reported 48.1 percent of the vote. However, the two have been switching between "first" and "second" place in the state, so calling the state for either one of the candidates is, at this moment (and for some time to come) impossible.
Of course, United States presidential elections and the state of Florida have somewhat (read: a definite) murky past. Lest we forget the tumultuous and highly controversial 2000 election between would-be President George Bush, and Al Gore. Hanging chads, re-counts and popular vs. electoral votes dominated headlines for some time, leaving a sour taste in the mouth of voters across the country, and definitely voters who call Florida home.
If neither candidate reaches 270 electoral votes and the presidential election ends in a tie, the tie-breaker goes to the House of Representatives, per the United States Constitution. On Jan. 6, 2017, the newly-appointed House of Representatives would gather in Washington, D.C., and elect a president amongst themselves. Of course, whichever political party holds a majority in the House, will essentially decide who becomes the next leader of the United States of America.
Which, of course, is why voting in local and state elections is just as important as voting in presidential, national elections.
Of course, the general public (who either voted or didn't vote) have some feelings about the possibility of the election ending in a tie. Of course, Twitter is the best way to express said feelings, which meant we could all commiserate together.
Here's hoping a tie-breaker won't be necessary, and we can all wake up the day after election night and know who will be leading arguably the most powerful country in the world.

Q: How do I filter by relationship columns in Laravel? I have this query
public function index()
{
    $properties = PropertyDetail::query()->with('propLocation');

    $properties->where('type', Input::get('unitType'));
    $properties->where('purpose', Input::get('purpose'));
    $properties->where('active', 1);

    if (Input::has('specifyType')) {
        $properties->where('specify_type', Input::get('specifyType'));
    }

    if (Input::has('location')) {
        $properties->where('state', Input::get('location'));
    }

    $result = $properties->get();
    return View::make('portal.properties.view', compact('result'));
}

propLocation is my second table now how can I search the stats value there,
How this should be done?
I tried this:
if (Input::has('location')) {
    $properties->where('state', Input::get('location'));
}

but it does not work.

Column not found

A: You cannot filter relationship columns like that. You need to use whereHas().
Try like this:
public function index()
{
    $properties = PropertyDetail::query()->with('propLocation');

    $properties->where('type', Input::get('unitType'));
    $properties->where('purpose', Input::get('purpose'));
    $properties->where('active', 1);

    if (Input::has('specifyType')) {
        $properties->where('specify_type', Input::get('specifyType'));
    }

    if (Input::has('location')) {
        $properties->whereHas('propLocation', function ($query) {
            $query->where('state', Input::get('location'));
        });
    }

    $result = $properties->get();
    return View::make('portal.properties.view', compact('result'));
}


The site is designated as an area of high landscape value.
Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar has filed an appeal against the Planning Commission's decision to permit the commercialisation of a boathouse at Dwejra in San Lawrenz, Gozo.
It said in a statement the approved development would threaten this unspoiled protected area of unparalleled natural beauty.
Encouraging such "an incompatible use" would lead to the piecemeal degradation of Dwejra's ODZ, setting a precedent for future commercial development in this remote pristine rural area, the NGO said.
The site is designated as an area of high landscape value and also listed as a special area conservation of international importance falling within the San Lawrenz Natura 2000 site.
As such, it should have been protected against such damaging uses, the e-NGO said.
But ERA's concerns were completely ignored by the Planning Commission, FAA said.
It added that the decision went contrary to the Planning Commission's stance against a similar application in Ħondoq, where it had refused a request to convert an agricultural store into a souvenir shop.

A payment processing firm that used to be owned by Royal Bank of Scotland has been sold in a deal worth $43bn (£32bn).
WorldPay has been bought by Florida-based Fidelity National Information Services (FIS) for $35bn in cash and shares, plus WorldPay's debt.
Customers of WorldPay include TopShop, Clarks, Monsoon, Accessorize and multiple pub and restaurant chains.
FIS sells payment services and also software for the finance industry.
WorldPay was sold by RBS in 2010 as a condition of the bank's bailout following the financial crisis.
Since then WorldPay's value has risen dramatically and now matches the stock market value of its former owner RBS.
Demand for WorldPay services has surged as shoppers are using their cards more, either to buy products online, or using cards in shops.
FIS said buying WorldPay would help it sell more services to banks and other financial firms. The company's chief executive Gary Norcross said «scale matters in our rapidly changing industry».
'Rapid shift'
The rise of financial technology firms, known as fintech, has seen technology firms taking on banks in a race for control of the digital payments market.
«The need to invest, to continue to modernise both the technology and application layers, and continue to innovate so our customers can continue to be disrupters, will be important for us,» Mr Norcross told investors in a call on Monday.
Neil Wilson, from Markets.com, said the deal «signifies the very rapid shift in the payments industry and the amount of investment the businesses need».
He expects more deals in the sector as companies look to get bigger.
Gareth Wilson, Accenture's global payments chief, said the deal was «huge» for the industry, in particular because it «puts a price on the expected value of disruption» in the industry.
«The structure of the industry is ripe for change, and payments is the battleground for new activity,» he said.
According to Accenture, in 2017 in Europe, 20% of all 1,400 financial services firms were considered to be «new», because they had started after 2005.
The UK has seen a «huge rise» in fintech, because it has led the way in liberalising the banking industry.
There are now 2.5 times more financial services companies in Britain than in 2005, and 91% of these firms are offering payments services.
WorldPay first started in 1989 as electronic payments system Streamline. It was owned by NatWest Bank, which was then acquired by RBS in 2002.
WorldPay first started as Streamline in the UK in 1989
Streamline was renamed as RBS WorldPay. RBS expanded the service to other countries, including the US and the Netherlands.
In 2009 the European Commission said that RBS would have to sell WorldPay and other businesses, as a condition of approving state aid to the bank.
The next year, WorldPay was sold to private equity firms Advent International and Bain Capital for £2bn, with RBS retaining a 20% stake.
In 2013, RBS sold off its remaining stake. WorldPay went on to sell shares on the London Stock Exchange in 2015.
In January 2018, US payments processing technology firm Vantiv acquired WorldPay for $10.4bn. Vantiv renamed the combined firms WorldPay.
Last October, BT poached WorldPay's co-head Philip Jansen to replace Gavin Patterson as chief executive of the telecoms group.

Slue was wearing her Jimmy John's uniform when she was arrested for trying to rob this Loop Subway.
The woman accused of trying to rob a Loop Subway restaurant while wearing her Jimmy John's uniform pleaded guilty yesterday. Cherene Slue also entered a guilty plea to charges that she held-up a nearby Dunkin' Donuts the same week.
Slue was sentenced to two years probation on each count and was given credit for 58 days time served by Judge Neera Walsh, who approved the plea deal.
On January 14, still decked out in her Jimmy John's t-shirt, 27-year-old Slue walked into the Subway at 604 South Wabash and handed the clerk a note: "I have a gun and give me $60," it said.
When the Subway sandwich artist said he had no money, Slue insisted that she had a gun. The clerk walked to the back of the store and Slue left empty-handed, police say.
A few days after being charged in the Subway case, police went to Slue's home and arrested her again. She had been identified as the person who robbed Dunkin' Donuts at 1231 South Wabash on January 12.
According to a Dunkin' Donuts worker, Slue walked into the donut shop, stated that she had a gun, and demanded that the clerk hand over $40. The worker handed over exactly $40 and Slue reportedly left satisfied.

Seth Eugene Meek (1 de abril de 1859, Hicksville, Ohio – 6 de julio de 1914, Chicago) fue un ictiólogo estadounidense del Museo Field de Historia Natural en Chicago. Fue el primer creador de un libro sobre los peces de agua dulce de México. Junto con su ayudante, Samuel Frederick Hildebrand, escribió el primer libro sobre los peces de agua dulce de Panamá.

A menudo colaboró con Charles H. Gilbert, y en 1884, en un viaje de recolección a través de los Ozarks, descubrieron una nueva especie, Etheostoma nianguae, que solo vive en la cuenca del Río Osage. También, en esa expedición estaba David Starr Jordan, considerado el padre de la moderna ictiología.

Después del viaje a Ozarks, Heek, aceptó el puesto de profesor de biología y geología en la Universidad Industrial de Arkansas (ahora la Universidad de Arkansas).

El Hyporhamphus meeki  fue nombrado en su honor .

Chrissy Teigen is not afraid to let loose and explore her adventurous side. The gorgeous model has recently shared a gripping video of herself posing on the back of a camel under the hot African sun.
As the Inquisitr recently reported, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue alum is currently on location in Morocco, where she is rumored to be filming together with famous TV chef David Chang for his hit Netflix show Ugly Delicious.
Their trip to the Moroccan capital has stirred a lot of excitement among Teigen's Instagram followers, who can barely contain their anticipation and are ecstatic over the "top secret project" that their favorite foodies are cooking up.
While being careful about not divulging key details about the new project, the glam queen has artfully toyed with her fans in a string of Instagram posts by releasing a few snapshots and clips from her trip to Morocco.
After walking the streets of Marrakesh in a pair of teaser videos, Chrissy has now embraced a walk on the wild side by taking a camel ride through the North African desert. The model filmed herself on the back of a camel as she tightly grips the animal's harness and lets herself be swayed by the quadruped's movements.
This latest video has sent her Instagram fans into a frenzy, racking up more than 200,000 views in only 20 minutes.
In the footage, the 33-year-old model not only lets go of her inhibitions by having the courage to straddle the massive animal, but also looks flawless as she rides the magnificent beast under the hot African sun.
The stunning model is dressed in a white, flowing top, which she accessorized with a brown scarf in a rich café-au-lait pattern. Chrissy also rocks a pair of oversized sunglasses to protect her eyes from the glare of the sun.
"The lighting is amazing," she tells her fans in the new clip.
The video then takes a funny turn as the model can be heard exclaiming "ooo, oooo, oooooo!" when the camel treads over a bumpy patch and jars her a little. Not to worry, though, as she seems to be perfectly safe — especially given that she is being led by an experienced handler.
In the caption, Chrissy gave a shout-out to David's wife, Grace Seo Chang, and announced that she and David were wrapping up their project in Morocco and that they would soon head back to the United States to be with their families.
"Grace, we are coming home now, make room for the camels," she hilariously captioned the video.

Report: Wuhan market outbreak began earlier in December

The first cases of COVID-19 were reported in Wuhan, China, in December. File Photo by YFC China/EPA-EFE
March 25 (UPI) -- Evidence is mounting that cases of the novel coronavirus may have emerged in the central city of Wuhan, China earlier than officially acknowledged in the country.
Chinese news service Pengpai reported Thursday the first known patient of COVID-19 in Wuhan was a woman shopkeeper at Huanan Seafood Market, the official ground zero of the outbreak in December.
The Wuhan Municipal Health Committee did not acknowledge the outbreak began until Dec. 31, and that the disease first appeared at the market. According to Pengpai, the patient with the surname Wei who sold shrimp at the market first showed signs of fever on Dec. 11. Authorities did not pass on information at the time.
Wei "received a vaccine" at a clinic on the ground floor of her apartment building. When her symptoms persisted, she was hospitalized on Dec. 16. Wei's residence was located 500 meters from the seafood market. A total of 11 local residents were subsequently hospitalized, according to Pengpai.
RELATED Spain extends lockdown; China again reports no new local cases
Chinese authorities did not disclose information regarding the outbreak until Dec. 31, when they said 27 people showed symptoms of pneumonia. Their statement at the time did not go into details, including the dates when patients developed their symptoms.
In January, a Chinese study published in the New England Journal of Medicine stated human-to-human transmission of the disease was occurring in December, when authorities were denying such infections were taking place. It was not until Jan. 20 Chinese scientist Zhong Nanshan said there is "definite" evidence the virus transmits between people.
The Chinese government has defended its policies despite criticism of its approach to COVID-19.
RELATED Longer social distancing period may delay second wave of COVID-19
On Thursday at a regular press briefing, Beijing foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang dismissed claims the Chinese government exerted its influence at the World Health Organization.
Geng also said China is "open, transparent and responsible." On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo referred to the new coronavirus as the "Wuhan virus" and suggested China needs to fully disclose information for health safety.
"That means full transparency by everyone, including by the Chinese Communist Party. This is a continuing challenge. We still need good information from the Chinese Communist Party about what is taking place there," he said.

Rapeseed oil refining equipment bearing parts are high-speed rotating parts, all types of refined oil equipment transmission part can not be less bearings, which also lead to rapeseed oil refining equipment work when the temperature is too high type of failure are generally related to the bearing.
Today, Zhengzhou Huatai machinery and equipment manufacturers to explain this issue, for the majority of rapeseed oil refining equipment to use customers to provide technical support. The following are the same as the "
1, rapeseed oil equipment, one of the reasons for bearing heating may be over-production, or heat problems, or rapeseed oil equipment, bearing parts between the friction between the heat. In general, the main reason is whether the bearing itself is appropriate. Some low-cost purchase of bearings, when there will be bearing heat, hot, so that the phenomenon of bearing burned and so on. So the first emphasis on the purchase of authentic (imported) bearings. The following are the same as the "
2, pay attention to adhere to the rapeseed oil refining equipment, the use of high-quality high-temperature lithium grease, lithium grease is also poor bearing heat another major reason. In addition to the details of your inspection, assuming that rapeseed refined oil equipment friction will be accompanied by noise, mechanical parts will have obvious wear and tear you say that the bearing is loose, it should be bearing problems, need to change the bearing. Proposed to purchase authentic imported bearings. The following are the same as the "
3, the spindle concentricity can be accurate, under normal circumstances people do not pay attention to concentricity, spindle concentricity tend to tend to constitute a large bearing heat.
Next:Rapeseed oil refinery equipment bearing the phenomenon of what causes it?
