RSPCA: Can you give a home to Olive, Honey or Shadow?
Olive is eight-years-old and looking for a home.
It's been a very busy two weeks here at the Animal Centre for our feline friends, as we've waved goodbye to eight cats!
Now we'd like to give some special attention to our three remaining cats who would love to be taken to a new home, just like all their pals have.
Firstly, I'd like to introduce Olive.
Olive is a black and white eight-years-old female, who was 'replaced' by a kitten, sadly, in her own home and therefore came to us feeling abandoned and unloved.
She's such a sweet girl who wants nothing more than to feel loved.
Olive can be quite shy with new people, but once she gets to know you, she loves being stroked and enjoys attention.
She's very laid back and like most of us, loves to lounge around and spends a lot of her time curled up in bed.
Don't be fooled though, she does have a playful side too and enjoys tussling with cat teaser toys!
Olive would prefer to be the only pet in the household, but could be open to living with an older, laid back cat or dog, who won't fuss around her too much.
We think Olive's ideal home will be with someone who will appreciate her, giving her the time and space she needs to feel loved again and safe in her new home. She would prefer children to be 16+.
Our next lovely lady is Honey.
Honey is two-years-old and has been with us now since June.
She's seen countless feline faces coming and going over her time with us and now it's her turn to leave us for her forever home.
She's a very friendly girl who loves being stroked, but is timid and finds it very hard to trust you.
She'll need owners who will understand this, as it will take time for her to get confident and to build up trust.
Honey would prefer a mature family with no other pets or children under 15 years, as she will benefit most from a quieter environment.
She'd also like owners who won't leave her for too long a period as she much prefers having some company.
Our final feline is Shadow. Shadow is two-years-old and found life in the cattery very stressful so she is currently out on foster.
Two-year-old Shadow is currently out on foster and is looking for an adult only home.
Shadow is looking for an adult only home and would ideally like to be the only pet, but could be open to living with another cat.
Shadow is a beautiful girl looking for a special home where she will be given lots of space to adjust.
As Shadow is on foster, call the Animal Centre receptionist (01704 567624) if you can provide a home and we'll arrange for you to meet her.
This last week has been very good for the dogs too as we've waved goodbye to Belle and Shankly!
Belle has been with us for a while so we're thrilled for her, but at the same time we'll miss the 'high fives' she used to give us when walking past her kennel!
Shankly was only with us for a short time but he was such a cutie it's no wonder he's found a new home. We wish them the best of luck!
We've primarily dedicated this space to our cats this week, but we don't want to forget our pooches!
We've four dogs for rehoming: Lincoln the Rottweiler, Lola the Staffy, Coco the German shepherd cross and Bruce the Staffy/Spaniel cross.
Look on our website www.rspca-southport.org.uk and Facebook page for more information and pictures.
If you are interested in any of our dogs or cats, then please phone us on 01704 567624, or pop down to the branch on New Cut Lane, PR8 3DW.
Supervised animal viewings are from 11am-3.30pm daily with the exception of Wednesday when we are closed to the public.


This course is an introduction to the core ideas and methods of chemistry, and recommended for students with limited chemistry backgrounds. Topics include stoichiometry, equilibria, thermochemistry, redox, acid-base chemistry and main group and organic chemistry.
The course is designed for students with limited chemistry backgrounds, and provides students with the necessary theory and practical skills to successfully continue into first-year chemistry courses such as CHEM 191. This course is also useful for students in other science disciplines who need to improve their chemistry knowledge. CHEM 150 will count towards any degree which allows a science paper to be credited to it.
Students who have achieved 14 credits of NCEA level 2 chemistry or more, or any credits of NCEA level 3 chemistry (or their equivalents) will need Head of Department approval to enrol in the course.
(ii) CHEM150 cannot be credited to a degree if CHEM191 or CHEM111 has been passed previously.
(iii) No other Summer School paper may be taken concurrently with CHEM150.
*The course is six weeks long. The first four weeks will be taught and assessed entirely online (using Blackboard, the University of Otago's Learning Management System), with the last two weeks taught on campus.

The Maison De Luxe remains one of our best getaway Lodges. It provides practical living with a sense of style and elegance. The home consists of a master bedroom with en-suite, a guest room, open plan living area, kitchen, bathroom and utility room.
The living room has a bright open plan layout with a soft blend of natural colours and featuring floor to ceiling windows. Light fills the room easily and makes for a comforting entrance in those lovely summer months.
The kitchen comes fully furnished with an impressive American fridge-freezer, integrated wine cooler and other appliances. There is a breakfast bar in the centre of the kitchen finished in a combination of cream colours.
A four poster king-size bed sits in the middle of the master bedroom, helping to create your 'relaxation haven'. It also comes with an impressive en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. The second bedroom offers a playful cabin bed/den design for children to enjoy.
The family bathroom has a free-standing bath with a fitted towel rack and wash basin and follows the nautical style of the rest of the lodge.


Juana joined our Los Angeles office in January 2018 as a paralegal. Ms. Munoz assists our attorneys with various aspects of defense litigation, such as the discovery processes and lien negotiations. She earned her paralegal certificate from the University of San Diego.
While taking courses at University of San Diego, Juana interned at the Law Office of Edward Orendain, providing support to defense attorneys in immigration removal cases. In 2016, she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in religious studies at La Sierra University. During her undergraduate tenure, she volunteered for six months at a non-profit organization in Cambodia that helps provide housing, sustainable agriculture, and education for rural communities.


In 2017, Fiat announced 10 recalls across 11 of its models according to Rapex. Ducato was recalled most frequently, followed by Panda and Tipo. The oldest car recalled was the Fiat Tipo produced in 2015.
In 2017, three recalls affected Fiat Ducatos: First, due to the risk of leaf springs cracking, the second due to incorrect production tires and the third because of a possible bursting of the gas recirculation tube.
Another problem Fiat struggled with in 2017 was improper steering wheel wiring which could cause a short-circuit and spontaneous driver's airbag activation. This defect was found in Fiat Tipo and Freemont models.
Another major recall took place in May due to the risk of airbags not deploying in the event of an accident. The recall affected Panda, Tipo, Doblo, Qubo and Fiorino models manufactured in the autumn of 2016. The relevant production years are shown in the link under each model.
Jul 2017: Water infiltration may lead to insufficient steering box lubrication.
Apr 2017: Due to a fault in the airbag propellant system, the second stage of the side airbag might not deploy.
May 2017: The mixture ratio of the airbag ignition chemicals is incorrect and, in the event of an accident, this could prevent deployment of the airbags.
Aug 2017: Faulty crimping of the micro-gas generator for the seat belt tensioner means that, in the event of deployment of the seat belt tensioner, parts of the gas generator could detach causing injuries to the occupants of the car.
Feb 2017: The cables of the driver's airbag may rub against the steering wheel cable clamp.
Nov 2017: Incorrectly installed steering-wheel wiring may chafe and cause a short-circuit.
Mar 2017: Owing to a potential non-conformity of the material used for the rear suspension leaf-springs, the springs may in some cases fracture near their fixing points.
Sep 2017: The vehicles were delivered with the wrong set of tyres.
Dec 2017: The exhaust gas recirculation pipe may break and cause a short circuit in contact with the alternator.
Mar 2017: Details about the maximum tensile forces of the load-retaining hook in cargo spaces are incorrect.

In a recent conversation, Hanif Kureishi was telling me about his new novel, whose narrative is different from what he wrote hitherto; I ironically asked him: "But the hero is nonetheless an immigrant with a Pakistani father who is a failed writer…" He replied: "What's the problem? Do we not all have Pakistani fathers who are failed writers?" He was right—and this is what Hegel meant by singularity elevated into universality: the pathological twist that Kureishi experienced in his father is part of every father, there is no normal father, everybody's father is a figure who failed to live up to his mandate and thus left to his son the task to settle his symbolic debts. In this sense, again, Kureishi's Pakistani failed writer is a universal singular, a singular standing in for the universality.
This is what hegemony is about, this short-circuit between the universal and its paradigmatic case (in the precise Kuhnian sense of the term): it is not enough to say that Kureishi's own case is one in the series of the cases exemplifying the universal fact that father is yet another "impossible profession"—one should make a step further and claim that, precisely, we all have Pakistani fathers who are failed writers… In other words, let us imagine being-a-father as a universal ideal which all empirical fathers endeavor to approach and ultimately fail to do it: what this means is that the true universality is not that of the ideal being-a-father, but that of failure itself.
Therein resides today's true impasse of paternal authority: in the (biological) father's growing reluctance to accept the symbolic mandate "father"—this impasse is the secret motif than runs through Steven Spielberg's films. All his key films—ET, Empire of the Sun, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List—are variations on this motif. One should remember that the family to whose small boy ET appears was deserted by the father (as we learn in the very beginning), so that ET is ultimately a kind of "vanishing mediator" who provides a new father (the good scientist who, in the film's last shot, is already seen embracing the mother)—when the new father is here, ET can leave and "go home." Empire of the Sun focuses on a boy deserted by his family in the war-torn China and surviving through the help of an ersatz-father (played by John Malkovich). In the very first scene of Jurassic Park, we see the paternal figure (played by Sam Neill) jokingly threatening the two kids with a dinosaur bone—this bone is clearly the tiny object-stain which, later, explodes into gigantic dinosaurs, so that one can risk the hypothesis that, within the film's fantasmatic universe, the dinosaurs' destructive fury merely materializes the rage of the paternal superego. A barely perceptible detail that occurs later, in the middle of the film, confirm this reading. The pursued group of Neill with two kids take refugee from the murderous carnivorous dinosaurs in a gigantic tree, where, dead tired, they fall asleep; on the tree, Neill loses the dinosaur bone that was stuck in his belt, and it is as if this accidental loss has a magic effect—before they fall asleep, Neill is reconciled with the children, displaying warm affection and care for them. Significantly, the dinosaurs which approach the three next morning and awaken the sleeping party, turn out to be of the benevolent herbivorous kind… Schindler's List is, at the most basic level, a remake of Jurassic Park (and, if anything, worse than the original), with the Nazis as the dinosaur monsters, Schindler as (at the film's beginning) the cynical-profiteering and opportunistic parental figure, and the ghetto Jews as threatened children (their infantilization in the film is eye-striking)—the story the film tells is about Schindler's gradual rediscovery of his paternal duty towards the Jews, and his transformation into a caring and responsible father. And is The War of the Worlds not the last installment of this saga? Tom Cruise plays a divorced working class father who neglects his two children; the invasion of the aliens reawakens in him the proper paternal instincts, and he rediscovers himself as a caring father—no wonder that, in last scene, he finally gets the recognition from his son who, throughout the film, despised him. In the mode of the eighteenth-century stories, the film could thus also have been subtitled "A story on how a working father finally gets reconciled with his son…" One can effectively imagine the film without the blood-thirsty aliens: what remains is in a way "what the film really is about," the story of a divorced working-class father who strives to regain the respect of his two children. Therein resides the film's ideology: with regard to the two levels of the story (the Oedipal level of the lost and regained paternal authority; the spectacular level of the conflict with the invading aliens), there is a clear dissymmetry, since the Oedipal level is what the story is "really about," while the external spectacular is merely its metaphoric extension. There is a nice detail in the film's soundtrack which makes clear the predominance of this Oedipal dimension: the alien's attacks are accompanied by a terrifying one-note, low-trombone sound weirdly resembling the low bass and trumpet sound of the Tibetan Buddhist chant, the voice of the suffering-dying evil father (in clear contrast to the "beautiful" five-tones melodic fragment that identifies the "good" aliens in Spielberg's Encounters of the Third Kind).
It was already Franz Kafka who articulated this crisis of paternal authority in all its ambiguity; no wonder that the first impression one gets in reading Kafka's letter to his father is that there is something missing in it—the final twist along the lines of the parable on the Door of the Law ("This door was here only for you…"): the father's display of terror and rage is here only for you, you are invested in it, sustaining it… One can well imagine the real Herrmann Kafka as a benevolent and nice gentleman, genuinely surprised at the role he played in his son's imaginary.
Again, one should bear in mind the proper order of causality: it is not that father's excessive vitality undermines his symbolic authority; it is, rather, the other way round, i.e., the very fact that one is bothered by father's excessive vitality already presupposes the failure of symbolic authority.
What is the true function of the Name-of-the-Father? It is, precisely, to allow the subject to "symbolically kill" the father, to be able to abandon father (and the closed family circle) and freely set on one's own path in the world. No wonder, then, that Kafka's reluctance to assume the Name-of-the-Father is the very indication of his failure to break with and off from the father: what the letter to the father bears witness to is a subject who was doomed to remain forever in his father's shadow, caught with him in a libidinal deadlock? Far from enabling him to elude the father's grasp, Kafka's refusal to accept the father's name is the surest sign of this imprisonment.
Although Freud uses three distinct terms for the agency that propels the subject to act ethically—he speaks of ideal ego (Idealich), ego-ideal (Ich-Ideal) and superego (Ueberich) –, he as a rule identified the three [he often uses the expression Ichideal oder Idealich (Ego-Ideal or ideal ego), and the title of the chapter III of his booklet The Ego and the Id] is "Ego and Superego (Ego-Ideal)". Lacan, however, introduces a precise distinction between these three terms: the "ideal ego" stands for the idealized self-image of the subject (the way I would like to be, I would like others to see me); the Ego-Ideal is the agency whose gaze I try to impress with my ego image, the big Other who watches over me and propels me to give my best, the ideal I try to follow and actualize; and the superego is this same agency in its revengeful-sadistic, punishing, aspect. The underlying structuring principle of these three terms is clearly Lacan's triad Imaginary-Symbolic-Real: ideal ego is imaginary, what Lacan calls the "small other," the idealized double-image of my ego; Ego-Ideal is symbolic, the point of my symbolic identification, the point in the big Other from which I observe (and judge) myself; superego is real, the cruel and insatiable agency which bombards me with impossible demands and which mocks my failed attempts to meet them, the agency in the eyes of which I am all the more guilty, the more I try to suppress my "sinful" strivings and meet its demands—the old cynical Stalinist motto about the accused at the show trials who professed their innocence ("the more they are innocent, the more they deserve to be shot") is superego at its purest.
This is the superego comedy at its purest—if there ever was a carnival in which today you are a king and tomorrow a beggar, this was it! A common sense reproach nonetheless imposes itself here: is there not a rather obvious fundamental difference between the carnival proper and the Stalinist purges? In the first case, the entire social hierarchy is momentarily suspended, those who were up are down and vice versa, while, in the case of Stalinism, the unexpected and "irrational" change of fortunes affects only those who are subjected to power—far from being threatened, far from its power being even symbolically suspended, the Communist nomenklatura uses the "irrational" shifts of arbitrary terror to fortify its rule… There are, however, moments of paroxysm in which revolutionary terror effectively reaches carnivalesque dimensions, i.e., in which, like the proverbial snake, the ruling Party starts to eat itself, gradually swallowing its own tail. The surprising fact that "the most dangerous place to be was close to the centres of power" clearly distinguishes Stalinism from Fascist regimes—here are the results of the mere two years of yezhovshchina: "Five of Stalin's Politburo colleagues were killed, and 98 out of 139 Central Committee members. Of the Central Committee of the Ukraine Republic only three out of 200 survived; 72 of the 93 members of the Komsomol organization Central Committee perished. Out of 1,996 party leaders at the Seventeenth Congress in 1934, 1,108 were imprisoned or murdered. In the provinces 319 out of 385 regional party secretaries and 2,210 out of 2,750 district secretaries died." This self-devouring frenzy renders problematic the theory of Stalinist nomenklatura as the New Class.
Again, it is here that Kafka cheats: it is not his father's, but his own, desperate striving to keep the father pure—it is for Kafka himself that any notion of his father following a similar advice (and, consequently, dwelling in "filth") is "utterly unthinkable," which means: totally catastrophic, foreclosed from his universe.
One has to be very precise here and avoid confusing this entanglement of the law and its transgression (the law sustained by a hidden call for its own transgression) with superego proper as its (almost) symmetrically opposite. On the one hand, it is the hidden (non-articulated) injunction "Enjoy! Violate the law!" that reverberates in the explicit prohibition; on the other (much more interesting and uneasy) hand, it is the hidden (non-articulated) injunction to fail that reverberates in the explicit permissive call "Be free! Enjoy!".
The last paragraph does break the vicious cycle of mutual accusations and is thus hesitantly "optimistic," opening up a minimal space of truce and symbolic pact.
In this way, Kafka's subjective identification shifts—minimally, but in a way which changes everything—from the "almost nothing" of being (father's) filth to "nothing at all": if all of it "comes from me," my nullity can no longer be (other's) filth. The move that concludes the letter is thus the one from death to sublimation: Kafka's choice of nothing as one's place, the reduction of his existence to the minimum where "nothing but the place takes place," to paraphrase Mallarmé, creates the space for creative sublimation (literature). To paraphrase yet again Brecht's motto from The Beggar's Opera, what is the filth of engaging in small sexual transgressions compared to the filthy purity of writing, of literature as "litturaterre" (Lacan's pun), as the litter defiling the surface of earth?

This two legit to quit 90's hip hop birthday party was one of my favorite celebrations to both plan and be present for. It was full of carefree fun.
My little lady didn't choose the two legit to quit 90's hip hop birthday party theme but since she was only turning two, I figured she wouldn't mind that I did. Last year we celebrated with a chubby bunny birthday since she was born our 10.4 lb beauty. She was tagged with the chubby bunny nickname so it fit perfectly.
This year, we wanted something a bit more funky fun. I found this two legit 2 quit shirt and this invitation on Etsy and couldn't resist building the entire theme around them. The best part about planning toddler birthday parties is that they see magic in any theme. They don't care how many decorations there are or what the invitations look like. They love it no matter what.
That means that we get to be creative and come up with themes that we love. I have always been a 90's girl at heart. I went through many of my most impressionable years during the 90's and loved all of the trends. My favorite though was hip hop music.
I like creating fresh new party themes and since this one had nothing online at the time of my styling it except for the invitation and kids shirt; I decided that a two legit to quit 90's hip hop birthday party was a theme that would be fresh indeed! I loved getting that hip hop hooray look with tons of oversized gold chain balloons.
The food was all treats and in theme with the party. We displayed vanilla sandwich cookies with edible Wilton Gold Color Mist, two legit to quit frosted cassette tape sugar cookies, edible gold leaf flaked brownies, gold sprinkled cupcakes and grape juice filled baby bottles with gold lids.
To make them, I bought these plastic bottles on Amazon then spray painted the lids. Be sure to give yourself enough time for them to dry thoroughly though. Sugar daddy suckers and a mini naked layer cake were also treats that guests got to enjoy. This cake was the perfect size for little lady.
I bought these plastic grillz for all the guests. It was hilarious to see the kids wearing them while smiling and laughing. Of course, we also had to have bling so I bought the plastic dollar sign necklaces.
For entertainment, we played a variation of duck, duck, goose by saying hip, hip hop. The kids (and adults) thought it was a hoot! We also played musical chairs with (age appropriate, edited) hip hop music. This was another exciting game that got the kiddos laughing and asking for more.
So cute. This party look like more fun. I like chain link foil balloons where can i buy?
This party is look like so much fun. photos are really beautiful and also use good creativity ideas. I like Chain link foil balloons.
Aw thank you so much, I appreciate it!
The chain link foil balloons looking nice. Where can I buy them?
Thanks, there is a link at the bottom of the post.
Where can I buy the gold balloons?
Can you send recipe to gold fleck brownies?
OMG! This party looks like so much fun.
So cute! Maybe I can have a Two Legit to Quit party for my fifty- (tw0) birthday!


Why are Americans against having a FEMALE president?
Come on, men. Get with the times and step up. Enough with your sexist crap. There is NO reason why Hillary Clinton shouldn't have become the president. None. Zilch. If she were a man, she'd be president now and you all know it. You have the audacity to call Muslim nations sexist? Maybe you should try... show more Come on, men. Get with the times and step up. Enough with your sexist crap. There is NO reason why Hillary Clinton shouldn't have become the president. None. Zilch. If she were a man, she'd be president now and you all know it. You have the audacity to call Muslim nations sexist? Maybe you should try looking in the mirror idk?
Best Answer: It is a sexist country.
in UK we have had two. One was to say the least controversial but I wish we had her to negotiate Brexit and the other is considered by many to be as much use as a chocolate teapot.
The first has social skills the second does not .
the next president will be Martin Luther kings grand daughter.so youve got Trump till then.
Um, Hillary wouldn't be president if she were a man.
It's not so much that Americans are against having a female president, but rather Americans want a SMART person for President. Not saying females are dumb (I'm a female myself), but the female candidates for President haven't been the brightest bulb in the shed, so to speak. Politics have to be more selective.
Run one that is worth it, certainly not the lying conniving Hilly. Same with an African American President it was politically correct and dear god look what we got the Bigot family.
If a woman gets voted as president of the USA they'll have to rename it from Oval Office to Ovarian Office!!!!
I don't want a female president, nor do I want a male president. I want a president that can properly govern the United States. Gender doesn't matter to me, nor should it in politics.
Golda Meir, Maggie Thatcher, Theresa May all put national needs ahead of any feminist agenda that they might have..American female candidates tend to put their feminist agenda high on their list of priorities. That alienates a lot of voters including many women.
Obviously the majority are okay with it since Hillary Clinton WON the popular vote in 2016. Remember?
They aren't. You see, all the Americans are being offered today are crazy leftist liberal ladies, kooks!

1993 Chicago White Sox
1993 ALCS: The Blue Jays Turn Back The White Sox
Dan Flaherty MLB History, Sports History Articles 1993 ALCS, 1993 American League Championship Series, 1993 baseball, 1993 Chicago White Sox, 1993 Toronto Blue Jays, baseball history, Chicago White Sox history, League Championship Series history, sports history articles, Toronto Blue Jays history
The Toronto Blue Jays were the defending World Series champions. The Chicago White Sox were in the postseason for the first time since the 1983 ALCS. In that regard, perhaps it's not surprising that their matchup in the 1993 ALCS was defined by the Blue Jays being the team that avoided key mistakes and made the most significant plays, as they survived a competitive series.
You can read more about the season-long paths Toronto and Chicago took to win their respective divisions and about their key players at the links below. This article will focus squarely on the games of the 1993 American League Championship Series.

READ MORE ABOUT THE 1993 CHICAGO WHITE SOX
Homefield advantage for the postseason was done on a rotation basis, so even though Toronto had 95 wins, while Chicago won 94, it was the AL West's turn to host. So this series opened up on the South Side on a Tuesday night.
Each team had their ace ready, eventual Cy Young winner Jack McDowell for the White Sox and Juan Guzman for the Blue Jays. Chicago had Guzman on the ropes twice in the early innings. But a leadoff double from Ellis Burks was wasted in the second. Guzman then pitched around a pair of walks in the third and the game stayed scoreless.
Toronto broke through in the top of the fourth. With two on and two out, Ed Sprague came to the plate. A utility player whose improbable home run in Game 2 of the 1992 World Series turned momentum in the Blue Jays' favor, Sprague again came through. This time it was a triple down the rightfield line that picked up both runs.
Guzman did not have his good stuff and Chicago bounced right back. With the help of a walk and an error, the White Sox had runners on second and third with one out. Ozzie Guillen lined a single into right to tie up the game. After Guillen stole second, he scored on a base hit from Tim Raines. Chicago had a 3-2 lead.
The rally continued. MVP first baseman Frank Thomas worked a walk. A wild pitch and an intentional walk loaded the bases with two outs. Burks had a chance to break the game open and he hit a line drive…but at first baseman John Olerud. The Blue Jays escaped trailing by just a run.
And they got to McDowell again in the top of the fifth. With two outs and a man aboard, Joe Carter legged out an infield hit. Olerud ripped a double into the right-center gap to score both runs and put Toronto up 4-3. Paul Molitor went the other way with a single to right and it was 5-3.
Chicago threatened again in the home half of the sixth with two singles and a walk. But in between, Raines was cut down attempting to steal. Burks had another opportunity with two outs, but flew out to end the inning.
With neither ace sharp, no one could get comfortable, so the Toronto bats went to work at taking out some insurance. With two outs in the seventh, Olerud and Molitor delivered again. The former singled and the latter homered. McDowell was gone. And this game was all but over. Duane Ward came out of the Blue Jay bullpen and cleaned up the 7-3 win.
Guzman might have been the Toronto ace, but no one in baseball had a big-game reputation like Dave Stewart. A cornerstone of the great Oakland A's teams from 1988-92 and one who had bedeviled the Jays in the postseason before, Stewart came north of the border in free agency for 1993. And he had the ball on his hand for Wednesday afternoon's Game 2.
Toronto quickly got him a run, going to work against Chicago's Alex Fernandez. An error by Thomas started the game. A base hit by Devon White set up Roberto Alomar to drive home the run with a productive ground ball out.
Stewart, uncharacteristically wild, gave it right back with three walks and a wild pitch. But the White Sox, with an opportunity to get a lot more, couldn't get a hit of their own and the inning ended in a 1-1 tie. They missed another chance in the second when Lance Johnson hit a leadoff double and was bunted up to third. Guillen and Raines were unable to drive in the lead run.
Toronto worked some two-out magic in the top of the fourth. After Molitor kept the inning alive with a double to right, Tony Fernandez singled him home. A decision to go for the out at the plate let Fernandez move up to second. A throwing error by second baseman Joey Cora let another run in. A game that had seen Chicago with most of the good early opportunities also had them trailing 3-1.
Alex Fernandez gamely kept his team in it, working out of a jam in the sixth and keeping the score 3-1. The White Sox got another big chance in the bottom of the inning.
Thomas and Ventura led off with singles. Burks drew a walk. The bases were loaded with no one out. Stewart dug in. He got Dan Pasqua on a fly ball to center to shallow to score a run. Lance Johnson popped out. Warren Newson bounced back to Stewart. No runs.
Stewart turned matters over the Blue Jay bullpen. Young Al Leiter, along with Ward, finished up the 3-1 win. Toronto had swept both games on the road. There was little reason for anyone to think baseball would return to the South Side before next spring. But these White Sox didn't roll over when they went on the road.
The Blue Jays came out in Friday night's Game 3 and immediately put pressure on young Chicago starter Wilson Alvarez, two on and one out in the bottom of the first. But Wilson induced Tony Fernandez to ground into a double play and kill the threat.
In the top of the third, Chicago went to work on Toronto's reliable Pat Hentgen. Raines and Cora singled to right. Thomas, known for his muscle, beat out an infield hit to bring in the game's first run. A walk to Robin Ventura loaded the bases. Burks was coming to the plate.
After his numerous missed chances thus far, it had to be a relief for Burks to rip a two-run single. After a walk loaded the bases, Lance Johnson hit another two-run single. It was 5-0.
With Alvarez sharp, this was more than enough. Toronto picked up a run in the third and loaded up the bases with one out in the fourth. But when Alvarez again got Tony Fernandez, this time with a big strikeout, the starting pitcher had been pressured for the last time. He cruised to a complete-game victory, 6-1 and put his team back in the series.
The fourth starters took the mound on Saturday night, Todd Stottlemyre for Toronto and Jason Bere for Chicago. It was a game were both teams would have to lean on their deep lineups and it was the White Sox who struck first. Burks singled to lead off the second, Lance Johnson homered and Chicago had a 2-zip lead.
Toronto countered in the home half of the third. Borders started the inning with a single. Devon White worked a one-out walk. Roberto Alomar doubled to left, Joe Carter singled and the Jays were up 3-2. A hit batsman and a walk loaded up the bases. Chicago manager Gene Lamont, trailing in the series, had no time to waste. He went to the bullpen.
Tim Belcher, normally a starter and a part of the Los Angeles Dodgers' team that stunned Oakland in the 1988 World Series, came on. Belcher struck out Tony Fernandez, got Sprague to ground to third and kept the White Sox in this game.
Pitching settled in until the top of the sixth when Thomas homered to tie it up 3-3. After two more walks, Lance Johnson came up with two down and delivered again. This time it was a triple that gave the White Sox a 5-3 lead.
There was no room to get comfortable though, not when Henderson walked and moved up on a wild pitch in the bottom of the same inning. Alomar's two-out double cut the lead to 5-4.
Leiter was on in relief for the seventh. After Guillen beat out an infield hit and Raines singled, there were runners on first and third. Cora was at the plate and he picked up the run with a productive out. It was valuable insurance. Chicago added one more run in the ninth. They got good bullpen work from Belcher, Kirk McCaskill and closer Roberto Hernandez. With the 7-4 win, the White Sox tied the series and ensured they would at least get back home.
Windy City sports fans had reason to be in good spirits for Game 5 on late Sunday afternoon. The Bears started the day off by beating the Eagles. Now McDowell would take the mound and try and give the White Sox control of this ALCS.
But for the second straight outing, the ace was no mystery to the Blue Jay lineup. Henderson greeted him with a double, stole third and then scored on McDowell's own throwing error. Molitor started a rally in the second with a double, took third on a base hit from Tony Fernandez and scored on Sprague's sac fly. Alomar led off the third with a walk, stole second, took third on Carter's grounder to the right side and came in on a base hit from Olerud. After a wild pitch and a walk, McDowell was unceremoniously gone.
Jose DeLeon temporarily kept the score at 3-0, but Toronto kept coming in the fourth. Devon White doubled to right, Alomar singled and now it was 4-zip.
Guzman was back on the mound for Toronto and in control. Burks touched the ace for a home run in the fifth, but that was all Guzman allowed in seven innings of work. The Blue Jays added a run in the seventh and took a 5-1 lead into the ninth.
Ventura hit a two-run homer with two outs against Ward to cut the lead to 5-3. That wasn't alarming, but a walk to Burks allowed the legendary Bo Jackson to come to the plate as the tying run. The only window of hope Chicago fans had seen all day was quickly slammed shut when Bo struck out.
Even allowing the disappointing performance from McDowell, the White Sox couldn't be all that disappointed. They were still going home with a chance and that's not something too many people would have dared predict back on Friday night. But Dave Stewart was waiting.
Alex Fernandez again had the task of facing off with Stewart on Tuesday evening. The young pitcher hurt himself early on, issuing a walk and hitting a batter to give Toronto a second-inning opportunity. The Blue Jays cashed it in, with a sac bunt from Tony Fernandez and a base hit from Borders that scored both runs.
Guillen touched Stewart in the third with a one-out double. After Raines singled to left and Stewart hit a batter of his own, the bases were loaded. Thomas was at the plate. Stewart walked the soon-to-be American League MVP and future Hall of Famer. Ventura's RBI groundball tied up the game.
But what Ventura had earned with his bat, he immediately gave back with his glove—an error that opened the top of the fourth. Sprague singled. There were runners on the corners. Alex Fernandez got what looked an inning-ending double play groundball off the bat of Borders. But on the relay, Cora threw the ball away and the go-ahead run came in.
Toronto threatened to break it open in the fifth when two singles and a double steal brought Olerud to the plate with one out. He popped it up and Chicago was still within a run.
Stewart was settled in and the 3-2 lead held to the bottom of the seventh. After a leadoff walk, Guillen bunted the tying run into scoring position. Raines came to the plate. He hit the ball on the screws to second base. But it ended up a line drive double play. Sometimes, it's just not your night.
Alex Fernandez had again kept his team in the game though, and it was still 3-2 in the ninth. But Toronto opened it up against the bullpen. Devon White homered for a huge insurance run. Then with two outs, Carter singled, Olerud reached on an error, and Molitor lashed a triple. It was 6-2, and all but over.
The White Sox picked up a run in the ninth, but Ward closed it out. When Raines hit a fly ball to right and Carter gloved it, Toronto had won their second straight America League pennant.
Stewart was named ALCS MVP, the second time in his career he had won the honor. But there were other good candidates. Guzman also won twice. The fact Toronto's aces pitched well, getting all four Blue Jays wins, while McDowell struggled, was the defining difference in this series.
Stewart and Guzman's composite pitching lines were almost identical. Each gave up three earned runs. Stewart went 13.1 innings, while Guzman went an even 13. I guess that extra out, along with the fact Stewart pitched the clincher, is enough to make him the right MVP choice in a close call.
Offensively, Devon White had collected twelve hits, including the home run that all but sealed the pennant. Molitor, Alomar, Olerud and Tony Fernandez were all consistent at the plate throughout the six games.
On the White Sox' side, Raines had twelve hits of his own. If his line drive in the latter stages of Game 6 meets a better fate, perhaps he ends up MVP of this series. Burks went 7-for-23. Thomas was 6-for-17, but Toronto made a conscious decision not to let "The Big Hurt" beat them and Thomas walked ten times. Alex Fernandez had the hardest luck—15 innings pitched, a 1.80 series ERA…and two losses to show for it.
Toronto wasn't done. They went on the World Series to meet the Philadelphia Phillies. The Blue Jays won another six-game series that was again defined by their ability to get the biggest hits at the biggest times—including the walk off home run that won it all.
1993 Chicago White Sox: An MVP, A Cy Young & A Division Title
Dan Flaherty MLB History, Sports History Articles 1993 baseball, 1993 Chicago White Sox, baseball history, Chicago White Sox history, sports history articles
The decade of the 1990s had seen some good baseball on Chicago's South Side. The White Sox averaged nearly 90 wins a year in the decade's first three seasons. But what the South Side had not seen since 1983 was playoff baseball. The old divisional alignment and playoff format, coupled with the excellence of the Oakland A's and Minnesota Twins in their division, was a stumbling block. The 1993 Chicago White Sox broke through the barrier, won the old AL West and produced an MVP and Cy Young winner to go with it.
Frank Thomas was the focal point of the White Sox lineup and the first baseman was spectacular in 1993. Thomas hit 41 home runs and drove in 128 runs. His stat line was .426 on-base percentage/.607 slugging percentage. Thomas won the American League MVP award in a unanimous vote.
On the pitching side, Jack McDowell was dominant. The ace of the staff won 22 games with a 3.37 ERA. McDowell wasn't unanimous for the American League Cy Young Award, but he was still a landslide winner.
And the two stars did not have to carry the load alone. Robin Ventura played third base, posted a .379 OBP and hit 22 home runs. Ellis Burks was in right field and his final stat line was a respectable .352/.441.
Manager Gene Lamont liked to run and he had three players who could do it. Lance Johnson played centerfield, had a .354 OBP and stole 35 bases. Joey Cora was at second base and swiped 20 bags. And veteran left fielder Tim Raines finished with a dazzling .401 OBP and stole 21 more bases.
There was another outfielder who didn't have the numbers, but was a fantastic story. Three years earlier, Bo Jackson's efforts to successfully play both major league baseball and pro football had taken a big step back with a serious hip injury in the NFL playoffs. Bo's football career was done, but he was still giving baseball a go. And in 1993 he hit 16 home runs in part-time duty. The lineup was rounded out by feisty Ozzie Guillen at short and Ron Karkovice behind the plate.
Even with this talent, the White Sox still finished a mediocre seventh in the American League in runs scored. But the pitching was more than enough to make up for it.
Three young arms—Alex Fernandez, Wilson Alvarez and Jason Bere—held down the rotation behind McDowell. All of the three were 22-23 years old. And all three were terrific in 1993. Fernandez won 18 games with a 3.13 ERA. Alvarez posted 15 wins and a 2.95 ERA. Bere picked up 12 victories and his final ERA was 3.47.
This rotation led into a bullpen that had Roberto Hernandez at the back end. Hernandez closed out 38 saves with a 2.29 ERA. And the Chicago staff ERA was the best in the American League.
Major league baseball's alignment, going back to 1969, was to split each league into just two divisions, an East and a West, with only the first-place team advancing to the postseason. That meant Chicago—along with Kansas City and Minnesota—took up residence in the AL West. They joined that division's current teams in Oakland, Texas, Seattle and the California Angels.
Over the past six years, the division had been won by either the A's or the Twins. In five of those cases, Oakland or Minnesota went on to the World Series and three times they won it all. But both teams were rebuilding, everyone in baseball knew it up front and the door was open for a new contender. Chicago, with its recent success and their big stars, was as good a choice as any.
Even though the White Sox set a good early tone by scoring 20 runs in a three-game series in Minnesota and picking up a couple wins, they were still 8-9 in late April. A stretch of games against the AL East proved to be a tonic. Chicago won 10 of 12, including a series victory over defending World Series champion Toronto. The White Sox nudged into first place by 2 ½ games in mid-May.
But losing two of three at home to the Angels, including a hard-luck 2-0 defeat where McDowell pitched exceptionally well, started a stretch that undid it all, with ten losses in twelve games. By Memorial Day, Chicago was 24-23. California had emerged as the leader and was three games up on the White Sox and Royals. The division's top five teams were within four games—ironically the only two clubs not contending were the A's and Twins.
The early part of the summer saw more of the same. Chicago lost a series in California, but turned around and swept Texas, won a series in Seattle and then delivered a sweep at Cleveland. It was enough to nudge the White Sox' record to 45-41 by the All-Star break.
Even though that was just the 11th-best record in the major leagues, it was enough to lead the AL West. Chicago was plus-one game on Texas and Kansas City and two up on Seattle and California. This race would go to anyone who could catch fire in the second half.
The White Sox made their case to be that team when they went north on I-94 to mediocre Milwaukee (an American League city until 1998) and won four straight games to start the second half. After losing a series to AL East frontrunner Toronto, Chicago promptly ripped off six straight wins. The burst got them a five-game lead in the division.
Then, to the White Sox' great credit, they settled into playing baseball with grinding consistency in the heat of August. Two out of three here, two out of three there. That set up another burst, nine wins in eleven games going into Labor Day. Chicago reached the stretch drive in firm command—the record was 78-58 and the lead was 6 ½ games on Kansas City, 7 games on Texas.
But the White Sox would let this race get interesting. Facing mediocre teams in Boston and fading Detroit, Chicago dropped four of six. Texas heated up and in the span of a week, sliced the lead to 3 ½ games.
The Royals were also lurking, still six back and Chicago visited Kansas City to open the week of September 12. Tim Belcher, a veteran of the Los Angeles Dodgers' 1988 World Series champion, had been acquired in July. Belcher didn't add a lot to the White Sox and he lost the opener of this key series in KC by a 9-0 count. Texas won and cut the lead to 2 ½ games. Then Chicago trailed on Tuesday, 3-2 going into the seventh inning.
With tensions rising, the White Sox' bats stepped up. A three-run double by Ivan Calderon keyed a big rally that led to an 8-3 win. Wednesday night's finale was an offensive display that was tied 6-6 and went into extra innings. Chicago got clutch relief work from Hernandez, who pitched 2 2/3 innings. In a 6-6 tie, Lance Johnson and Raines each had two-RBI hits in the 11th inning. A 10-6 win effectively knocked out KC and nudged the lead over Texas back to 4 ½ games.
There were still two and a half weeks to go and the Rangers would visit Comiskey Park for three games on the season's penultimate weekend. Chicago had to go west, but they finished the road trip strong, winning five of seven in Oakland and Anaheim. The lead was back to six games when the Texas series began. As long as Chicago didn't get swept, they were probably home free.
Belcher pitched Friday night's opener and redeemed himself by handing a 4-2 lead over to the bullpen. But Hernandez coughed up a couple runs and the Rangers tied it up. Lance Johnson responded by leading off the ninth with a bunt single. Karkovice sacrificed him up. And reserve Warren Newson was the hero, driving in Johnson with a base hit. The lead was seven games and there were just nine days left.
Rain came on Saturday and set up a doubleheader on Sunday. If the White Sox swept, they would clinch. Bere took the ball in the opener and tossed six good innings. Bo homered and Chicago led 2-1 in the seventh. Three more runs provided insurance for the 5-3 win. Even though the White Sox lost the nightcap 3-2, they had at least a tie clinched and needed just one more win in the final week.
Seattle came to town on Monday. Alvarez was on the mound and pitching well, in a scoreless duel in the sixth inning. Enter Bo—in a magical moment, the fallen star ripped a three-run homer. Alvarez worked into the eighth inning. The final was 4-2. Chicago was the champion of the AL West.
This was the final year of the old alignment—the major leagues would shift to the current three-divisional format for the 1994 season and move the White Sox into the Central. But for now, this division title meant Chicago would go directly into the American League Championship Series where Toronto was waiting.
Going further just wasn't meant to be. The White Sox matched up well with the Blue Jays and had more than their share of opportunities. But Toronto was battle-tested and didn't make mistakes. That was the ultimate difference in a series that Chicago dropped in six games, losing all three times they played at home.
What's more disappointing in retrospect is that this was the only time this cast of White Sox players reached the postseason. In fairness, they were leading the AL Central at the time of the strike in 1994, an August work stoppage that canceled the season. But the franchise faded at the end of the 1990s. They won a division title again in 2000, but faded back to irrelevance quickly. The real revival didn't come until Guillen was the manager and led Chicago to their long-sought World Series title in 2005.
Windy City Run: 1993 Chicago Bulls, White Sox & Notre Dame Football
Dan Flaherty Sports History Articles 1993 American League Championship Series, 1993 Chicago Bulls, 1993 Chicago White Sox, 1993 Cotton Bowl, 1993 NBA Finals, 1993 Notre Dame football
1993 was a good sports year for Chicago. The early 1990s, like the latter part of the decade was defined by watching Michael Jordan's Bulls win title after title. 1993 saw the Chicago Bulls pull off a three-peat, something that hadn't happened since the Red Auerbach era Boston Celtics.
But this year saw the Windy City have more than Michael to cheer on. The White Sox had stars of their own, with MVP first baseman Frank Thomas and Cy Young pitcher Jack McDowell and they won the AL West to return to the postseason for the first time in ten years.
Furthermore, large elements of the Chicago fan base pull for Notre Dame in college football. The period of the late 1980s/early 1990s was the last glory era for the Irish, under Lou Holtz and 1993 saw Notre Dame produce a season that deserved a national title, even if they were robbed at the voting booth.
Therefore, we should probably be very specific about the best fan base. It can't just be Chicago in general—it has to be the South Side of Chicago, since the North Side gives its loyalties to the Cubs. And then we have to go specifically into the Irish Catholic neighborhoods, be it literally or figuratively, to get to our demographic that has the Bulls, White Sox and Notre Dame football atop their rooting lists. That was your place to be in 1993.

The Road To The 2011 Final Four
Even by the often-chaotic standards of college basketball in March, 2011 had some unique storylines. It isn't often you use the seemingly contradictory phrase "repeat Cinderella". But that's what Butler was. It isn't often a proud blueblood like Kentucky has to pull consecutive upsets to make the Final Four. But they did. It was—and remains—unprecedented […]
The national championship in 2010 came down to a battle between a Blueblood and a Cinderella. It came down to a single shot from halfcourt. In the end, there was no Cinderella ending and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski won his fourth NCAA title. Here's a look back on the paths that Duke, along with Butler, West […]
The 2009 Final Four brought together three teams who had won relatively recent national championships—North Carolina in 2005, Michigan State in 2000, and UConn in 2004.

In an age where technology has delivered convenience and possibilities, the personal touch that thank you cards, in particular, can deliver often means the difference between a repeat sale or a referral and a lost customer. A strategic approach to a thank you card campaign involves combining a customer satisfaction survey.
Customers appreciate the time and effort you take to send the card, the old-fashioned way.
Avoiding the rhetoric associated with some direct mail programs further positions your brand and furthers the relationship with customers.
With your customers now in the right mind-set, take advantage of this opportunity by sending a customer satisfaction survey. These are often valuable tools that provide businesses with unique insight into their customers' minds.
With such information in hand, the results of a thank you card with survey campaign more than justify its cost. Having access to your ideal customer's buying patterns, you can then take your business to the next level, increasing growth, improving your products and services and furthering your branding.
Build on a customer satisfaction campaign, and use what you find out from your customers to boost growth. Doing this can give you a distinct edge over your competition, increasing lead generation, customer loyalty and brand awareness.

How To Decentralize Social Media Networks For The "Future Of The Internet"
Co-founder of Wikipedia, the founder of Citizendium
Social media networks are centralized for reasons. Mainly because they run on their respective platforms, operated by their respective companies.
This makes the companies that own them, have the utmost control of their social media networks properties.
But in a bad way, centralization on social media networks empowers those massive corporations and governments to steal users' privacy and restrict people's speech and autonomy.
"What should exist are neutral, technical standards and protocols, like the standards and protocols for blogs, email, and the Web. Blockchain technology—the technology of decentralization—is perfect for this, but not strictly necessary," said Larry Sanger.
"Such protocols would enable us to follow public feeds no matter where they are published."
"We would eventually have our pick of many different apps to view these feeds. We would choose our own terms, not Facebook's or Twitter's, for both publishing and reading."
Social media networks provide the platform for their users to share just about anything (as long as it obeys its policy). Here, those platforms entice users to make posts, allowing them to reach the greatest number of people.
But in turn, those platforms will monetize on those contents, as well as on users' privacy.
"Similarly, if you want to make it easy for friends and family to follow your more personal text and other media, you have to go to Facebook. Similarly for various other kinds of content. It just doesn't have to be that way. We could decentralize."
To decentralize social media, the problem is all about "replacing the giants."
"You can't replace existing technology without making something so much more awesome that everyone will rush to try it. And the social media giants have zillions of the best programmers in the world. How can we, the little guys, possibly compete?" said the Wikipedia co-founder.
Here, Sanger brought 5 briefly sketched theories that could make this happen:
The open data standards. Create new open data standards and protocols, or just use adequate already-existing ones, for the feeds of posts, threads, and other data structures that social media networks use.
According to Sanger, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has worked on the problem.
The publishing/storage platforms. Create reliable ways for people to publish, store, and encrypt their posts. This way, users can control exactly who has access to what content they want to broadcast to the world, and in what form, and they would not have to ask permission from anyone and would not be censorable.
According to Sanger, blockchain companies using IPFS, and in particular Everipedia, could help.
The feed readers. There should be similar feed readers for the various data standards described in (1) and the publishers described in (2). While publishers and social media have their own readers, the publishing and reading feature sets need to be kept independent to preserve a completely decentralized system.
The social media browser plugins. Create browser plugins that enable users to (a) select feeds and then (b) display them alongside a user's Twitter, Facebook, etc., feeds.
Once this feature were available, "you could tell your friends: 'I'm not on Twitter. But if you want to see my Tweet-like posts appear in your Twitter feed, then simply install this plugin and input my feed address. You'll see my posts pop up just as if they were on Twitter. But they're not! And we can do this because you can control how any website appears to you from your own browser. It's totally legal and it's actually a really good idea.'"
The social media feed exporters/APIs. Create easy-to-use software that enables users to publish their Twitter, Facebook, Mastodon, Diaspora, Gab, Minds, etc., feeds via the open data standards. Social media companies already have APIs, but they don't yet publish their users' data using an open data standard.
"If you could publish your Twitter data in terms of such a standard, that would be awesome. Then you could tell your friends: 'I'm on Twitter, but I know you're not. You don't have to miss out on my tweets. Just use a tweet reader of your choice (you know—like an old blog/RSS feed reader, but for tweets) and subscribe to my username!'"
According to Sanger, it's the combination of points (1) and (4) that can really make the difference.
"First, we get behind decentralized social media standards and protocols, and then we use those standards when building plugins that let our friends, who are still using Facebook and Twitter (etc.), see posts that we put on websites like Steemit, Minds, Gab, and Bitchute (not to mention coming Everipedia Network dapps)."
Sanger is looking forward to see various competitors in the business to join forces to create this kind of project.
"If they do, it will happen, and the days of privacy-stealing, centralized, controlling, Big Brother social media will soon be behind us. We'll return to the superior and individually empowering spirit of the original internet," said Sanger.
"This is the future of the Internet. Even if you've given up social media, we should build this for our friends and family who are still toiling in the digital plantations."

Clinical features associated with adverse events in patients with post-pericardiotomy syndrome following cardiac surgery
M. Chadi Alraies, Wael Al Jaroudi, Cyrus Shabrang, Hirad Yarmohammadi, Allan L. Klein, Balaji K. Tamarappoo
Medicine - Cardiology Division
Postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS) may be associated with tamponade and pericardial constriction that may require procedural intervention. The aim of this study was to identify clinical features associated with adverse events requiring procedural intervention in patients with PPS. A total of 239 patients who developed PPS after cardiac surgery were monitored for 12 months. PPS was diagnosed if 2 of the 5 following findings were present: fever without infection, pleuritic pain, friction rub, pleural effusion, and pericardial effusion (<60 days after surgery). The primary end point was the development of pericardial effusion or pericardial constriction requiring procedural intervention. Among 239 patients with PPS, 75 (31%) required procedural intervention. In a univariate analysis, the odds of a procedural intervention were decreased with older age (odds ratio [OR] 0.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.96 to 0.99) and with colchicine used in combination with anti-inflammatory agents (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.79). However, the odds were increased in patients with preoperative heart failure (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1 to 3.39) and early postoperative constrictive physiology (OR 5.77, 95% CI 2.62 to 12.7). After multivariate adjustment, treatment with colchicine along with anti-inflammatory agents was associated with lower odds of requiring intervention (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.99). Independent positive predictors of procedural intervention included age (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.99), time to PPS (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95 to 0.99), and early postoperative constrictive physiology (OR 6.23, 95% CI 2.04 to 19.07). In conclusion, younger age, early-onset PPS, and postoperative constrictive physiology were associated with the need for procedural intervention in patients with PPS, whereas colchicine was associated with reduced odds of adverse events and procedural intervention.

Q: How do I make my pagination show in Django template? Goodday everyone. I want to add pagination to my home page ('index.html'). I followed the documentation of Django for pagination but I added Bootstrap's pagination to it to give a beautiful outlook.
However, it does show on my home page.
Here is the index.html code

                {% if post.has_other_pages %}

                        {% if post.has_previous%}

                                «

                        {% else %}

                                «

                        {% endif %}
                        {% for i in post.paginator.page_range %}
                            {% if post.number == i %}

                                    {{i}}

                            {% else %}

                                    {{i}}

                            {% endif %}
                        {% endfor %}
                        {% if post.has_next%}

                                »

                        {% else %}

                                »

                        {% endif %}

                {% endif %}

This is the protion that contains the pagination.
Here is my views.index
def index(request):
    post = Post.objects.all()
    paginator = Paginator(post, 3)
    page = request.GET.get('page')
    page_post = paginator.get_page(page)

    context = {
        'post': page_post
    }
    return render(request, 'blog/index.html', context)

What am I doing wrong please?

A: You are not doing wrong. But bootstrap is only for view. So it is a good practice to send all the business stuffs may be a pagination or anything, it should come from the server. In my suggestion better to use django pagination.
In case if you have a large data your application will go slow to render such large data.

A: I fixed this by posting about 6 articles from the backend instead of the three (I had initially) since I want to show just 3 articles per page. On saving this and running my server again, the pagination worked.
