23. Giving models a custom manager

You can use a custom ``Manager`` in a particular model by extending the base

``Manager`` class and instantiating your custom ``Manager`` in your model.

There are two reasons you might want to customize a ``Manager``: to add extra

``Manager`` methods, and/or to modify the initial ``QuerySet`` the ``Manager``

returns.
