The drugalyser
Colour me sceptical:
It hopes the so-called "drugalyser" will make it easier to catch and prosecute offenders and help reduce accidents. The drug testers will be able to screen for an array of illegal substances, including cocaine and ecstasy.
A positive result would mean that police would no longer have to wait for permission from a doctor before a blood test could be taken to be used as evidence in court.
No, not about the desirability of such a test. People spaced out on drugs are as bad as those drunk, dangerous to other road users and thus righteously to be prosecuted.
No, rather, it\'s the technology that worries. Here\'s the detection times that such oral based testing has:
Detection in saliva tests begins almost immediately upon use of the following substances, and lasts for approximately the following times:
Alcohol: 6–12 h[12]
Marijuana and hashish (THC): 12–24 h[12]
Cocaine (including crack): 1 day[12]
Opiates: Up to 2–3 days
Methamphetamine (\"Tweak,\" \"crank,\" \"ice\") and ecstasy (MDMA,) : Up to 5 to 13 days.
Benzodiazepines: From time of ingestion up to 2 to 3 days
Amphetamines 3 days[12]
Phencyclidine (PCP) 3 days[13]
NOTE: Saliva tests are highly sensitive and detection times can vary considerably based on the cutoffs used.
So, the presence of such drugs, or their metabolytes, in such a sample does not in fact show being under the influence of said drugs. For someone is not driving (or any other way) impaired two days after taking smack, nor several days after taking meth etc.
And yes, poppy seed pastries can indeed give a false positive for opiates.
The test are good for checking whether someone has been taking drugs. They\'re not good for checking whether someone was actually under their influence at the time of driving.

Perhaps more of a confessalyser then ?

"The test are good for checking whether someone has been taking drugs. "
We'd need to know a lot more about the false positive rate before we can accept that.
Kay Tie August 6, 2010 at 9:19 am
More to the point, false positives for impairment. Given that (as someone said here but I can't remember who) in the New Labour era the process is the punishment, it's only "reasonable suspicion" that restrains the filth from holding you all day in a cell and annulling your visa-free travel to the US.
Is failing this test reasonable suspicion of impairment? I'd say there was almost no correlation on the data above.
JuliaM August 6, 2010 at 10:50 am
This is just another way to avoid doing any of the hard stuff, all that 'in my judgement' and 'gathering evidence' stuff, isn't it?
You'd think the police would just use video evidence to show obvious impairment at trial.
Except, of course, as we all know today, the impairment it shows is often their own…

GARDENS OF GRIEF was a finalist for the 2011 ForeWord Reviews' Book of the Year Awards in the HISTORICAL FICTION category.
GARDENS OF GRIEF — a brilliant, and socially important novel — is less a sequel to THE CREED OF VIOLENCE than an organic evolvement. It follows John Lourdes, an agent with the Bureau of Investigation, who is sent by the U.S. State Department to Constantinople in 1915. The Great War has begun and the British have been defeated at the Dardanelles. In Turkey the government means to see every Christian Armenian exterminated, in what will become the first genocide of World History. John Lourdes' clandestine assignment is to help an outlaw priest named Malek get safely across the war-ravaged Ottoman Empire. The priest, hunted by the Turkish government because he is an Armenian, is a hero to his people and a political threat to the Central Powers. The novel, very much a Homeric epic, has the sweep and grandeur of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. It will be to modern literature what the great chanson degeste THE SONG OF ROLAND was to the Middle Ages. A parabolic and visceral tale of sacrifice and martyrdom. It is not only compelling human drama, but it is also rich with detail about what truly took place in Turkey in 1915. The book is the definitive battlefield for those who say the genocide did happen, and those who say it did not. Regardless, the book presents the horror and the grandeur, in Kipling's words, "Lest we forget."

The Golden Rule of Providing Support in Inclusive Classrooms- An article published in TEC by Julie N. Causton-Theoharis of Syracuse University, it is about how adults can best provide support in inclusive classrooms.
An interesting article on "Acting White"
"... Now that it has entered the national consciousness—perhaps even its conscience—the term has become a slippery, contentious phrase that is used to refer to a variety of unsavory social practices and attitudes and whose meaning is open to many interpretations, especially as to who is the perpetrator, who the victim. ..."

Siasat.com/News/Skin creams aren't what we think!
Skin creams aren't what we think!
shameen| Updated: 30th August 2019 2:08 pm IST
Washington: Anyone who has gone through the stress and discomfort of raw, irritated skin knows the relief that comes with slathering on a creamy lotion. Now, researchers have found the first direct glimpse of how a cream or lotion is molecularly structured, and it's not quite what they expected.
The researchers will present their results at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2019 National Meeting and Exposition.
"The long-term stability and clinical properties of cream are determined by its fundamental structure," says Delaram Ahmadi, the graduate student who has conducted the study.
"If we can understand the chemical microstructure of the cream and relate that to the structure of the skin, then perhaps we can better repair the compromised skin barrier," adds Ahmadi.
"We wanted to improve the science around cream formulation so that companies could more rationally formulate them to get exactly what they want. The most significant thing we found is that the textbook picture of the structure of cream is very naive," says one of Ahmadi's research advisors, David Barlow.
Formulators have mostly inferred the structure of these emulsions based on indirect measurements, Barlow explained. But his group took a direct approach, with Ahmadi analysing the cream using X-ray and neutron scattering techniques to determine how the ingredients were dispersed.
Ahmadi and Barlow are at King's College London, and their co-investigator, Jayne Lawrence, PhD, is at Manchester University.
The cream is usually thought of as stacks of lamellae, or membranes, composed of surfactants and co-surfactants that maintain oil droplets dispersed within the water or vice versa.
To reveal a cream's true structure, the researchers started with an aqueous cream formulation from the British Pharmacopoeia that contains two co-surfactants and a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant.
They also incorporated a diol known to act as a preservative. One by one, Ahmadi replaced each ingredient with heavier isotopic versions. The researchers then scattered x-rays and neutrons off the selectively isotope-labelled samples and, from the resulting patterns of scattering, determined the location of each ingredient and the aggregate it formed within the cream.
The results were surprising. Although they observed co-surfactants in the lamellar layers as predicted, the surfactant was not there. "The surfactant peak profile suggested that the molecule formed micelles in the cream," Ahmadi adds.
In addition, the preservative was not found in the aqueous layer, where scientists have always presumed it would be. It was, in fact, residing in the lamellae.
Preservatives have an antimicrobial effect, thereby prolonging shelf-life. Formulators had assumed that to be an effective antimicrobial, the preservative had to be dissolved in the water layer. So, Ahmadi says this finding could mean the creams are essentially self-preserving.
The team is currently performing computer experiments to model the behavior of the preservatives in a bilayer system like a cream to understand why they are in the membrane layer. And they want to better understand the structure of the surfactant micelles dispersed in the layers.

College Football Betting Guide: Friday 11/27/20
Tom Sokol Nov 27th, 2020
Notre Dame attempts to improve their resume in a potentially difficult matchup with North Carolina. Where's the value in that game -- and others?
numberFire has built comprehensive algorithms to pinpoint the bets with the highest probability of returning money, whether you are betting on the total, the spread, or the moneyline.
For those new to numberFire, we use a five-star system to show which bets you should be targeting for any given game. Stars represent how much you should risk on a wager relative to what you would normally bet.
For example, if you would normally bet $110 to win $100 on a -110 spread wager, if we give a 3-star ranking, we suggest risking three times that amount: $330 to win $300. Here are the best bets for this weekend with guidance from our model. All advanced statistics are courtesy of the S&P individual team statistical profiles, except where noted.
Please note that lines are subject to change throughout the day after this article is published. Please check here to make sure you're seeing the most updated information.
Texas vs Iowa State
Texas -1.5: 2 Stars out of 5
Texas is having a very good season and are only a couple of plays away from being undefeated. The Longhorns are 5-2 to start the year, including an impressive overtime win against Oklahoma State, who our algorithm ranks 19th in the nation. Texas, ranked ninth by our algorithm, also comes in with a week off after their game last week against Kansas was postponed.
Iowa State is also having a strong season at 6-2, and they are actually ahead of Texas in the polls. However, our algorithm ranks them 11th, two spots behind the Longhorns. Plus, Iowa State lost to Louisiana-Lafayette early this season, which is a major blemish that Texas's resume does not have.
We project Texas to win this game 29.98-26.30 in what should be an exciting game. We give the Longhorns a 58.08% chance to cover the 1.5-point spread, making this a 2-star bet for Friday.
Iowa vs Nebraska
Iowa -13.5: 4 Stars out of 5
Iowa lost their opening two games this season to strong opponents in Purdue and Northwestern, but they have been completely dominant over the last three weeks and currently rank 10th in numberFire's power rankings. The Hawkeyes destroyed Michigan State 49-7, beat Minnesota 35-7, and then routed Penn State 41-21 to cap off their current three-game winning streak.
On the flip side, Nebraska (85th in our power rankings) has been underwhelming to say the least. The Cornhuskers did beat a winless Penn State team, but they are 1-3 overall, including a 41-23 blowout loss at the hands of Illinois last weekend.
We project Iowa to win this game very easily, with a projected final score of 34.90-15.70. Our models give Iowa a 68.69% chance to cover despite the 2-touchdown betting line.
Notre Dame vs North Carolina
North Carolina +4.5: 2 Stars out of 5
Notre Dame has had a perfect season so far, and they are right in the thick of the College Football Playoff hunt. The Fighting Irish played a close 12-7 game in their win over Louisville, and it took overtime for them to prevail over Clemson. However, every other victory has been by at least two scores. There is no doubt that the Fighting Irish are legit, and they are sixth in numberFire's power rankings.
North Carolina (14th in our ranks) are having a strong season in their own right, getting off to an impressive 6-2 start. Both Tar Heels losses came by only 3 points, and they have scored at least 26 points in every game this season, so Notre Dame's defense will certainly be challenged.
Unsurprisingly, our models project a high-scoring game with Notre Dame getting the slight edge at 37.55-34.24. We give the Tar Heels a 57.26% likelihood to cover the 4.5-point spread, so they could prove to be a major obstacle in Notre Dame's path to the playoff.

Their multi-currency solutions support real time global trading of equity, fixed income, mutual fund, foreign exchange, and exchange traded derivative securities in established and emerging markets. The company processes on average of over $5 trillion in equity and fixed income trades per day of U.S. and Canadian securities.
The company also provides business process outsourcing services that are known as Managed Services solutions, which support the operations of clients' businesses including their securities clearing, recordkeeping, and custody related functions. The company's clients execute and clear their securities transactions and engage Broadridge to perform a number of related administrative back office functions, such as record-keeping and reconciliations.
This is obviously a well run company and it has a great history having been split out from Automatic Data Processing. This kind of pedigree bodes well for the DNA of the company. It also has a history of increasing it's dividend and this year it has increased it dividend by an additional ten percent. This year will also be the tenth consequitive year that the company has increased its dividend. That kind of steady dividend growth will quickly bring out the dividend growth investors.
Ultimately it has to be realized that while this is a great company, it's stock price is also slightly expensive. Not overly so, but it's not on sale either. The P/E of 26 will scare off some investors, but the company's increasing earnings will quickly push that P/E ratio down. A pullback in the price would also the same thing.
So my approach will be to try to buy these shares for a price close to $60 per share. That may or may not happen but it's the price I'd like to pay for these shares. If I'm not able to get that price in the next few weeks, I'll go ahead and buy these shares at prices anywhere up to $65 per share. Once I get a toe-hold, I'll add to these shares through dividend reinvestment, the sale of call options, and the buying of additional shares on the open market as price determines.

Title: Jason Day loses eight family members to Typhoon Haiyan
Description: Eight members of Jason Day's family died as a result of Typhoon Haiyan, a record-setting storm that hit the Philippines on Nov. 8 and has account for almost 4000 deaths. The Herald Sun is reporting that Day's grandmother, uncle and six cousins died in the disaster. One of Day's aunts was found alive despite being swept to another village, according to the report, while another aunt's family survived after binding themselves together with rope and taking refuge in an attic. Day's mother, Dening, migrated from to Philipines to Australia three decades ago, where the 26-year-old Day was born. According to one of Day's sisters, Yanna, her sister Kim was the only sibling to have met the grandmother and extended family. But that the loss "impacted all of them," Yanna said. Day is scheduled to play in the ISPS World Cup at The Royal Melbourne Club in Melbourne, Australia this week. He released the following statement today through the PGA Tour: "I am deeply saddened to confirm that multiple members of my family lost their lives as the victims of Typhoon Haiyan. My family and I are thankful for all who have reached out with their prayers and concern. We feel devastated for all who have been affected by this horrific tragedy. While I understand the media's interest in this matter and hope that any coverage can spread awareness to assist with the relief efforts that continue in the Phillipines, I hope that all will respect my family's privacy during this difficult time. I will have no further public comments at this time. Please pray for all who have suffered loss. Thank you."

Through history Ph.D. program, students develop innovative lines of research
Rachel Banke, who completed her Ph.D. this spring, is interested in the realities of imperialism on American colonists, with an emphasis on the period after the Seven Years' War (1756–63). The opportunity would not have been possible without support from Notre Dame's Nanovic Institute for European Studies, Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies, and the Department of History, she said. "This was an ideal place to do a transatlantic project," Banke said. "The coursework and faculty advisers in the Department of History provided me with the foundation for what I was doing."

History major travels to Mexico City and Washington, D.C. to conduct research
History major Nora McGreevy traveled to Mexico City for 2 weeks to research at the Archivo Historico de UNAM. She is researching the role of women in the Escuelas de Pintura al Aire Libre, a group of state-sponsored experimental art schools in the 1920s and 30s in Mexico that aimed primarily to teach art to young indigenous students. She received grant funding for a 2-week-long research trip to the Coyoacán colonia of Mexico City and 1 week in Washington, D.C. through the Glynn Family Honors Program under the guidance of Professor Ocobock in the Honors History Colloquium. In Washington, D.C. she researched at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art, in the personal archive of Elsa Rogo, an American teacher and journalist who worked in these schools during the early 1930s. She is pictured here at "Casa Azul," Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera's home, in Coyoacán. Kahlo and Rivera were active during this time period & Rivera in particular was a longtime advocate for the schools. Learn more about student opportunities here.

Acer on Jan. 23 expanded its Chromebook line with the introduction of the new Chromebook Spin 11. As its name suggests, Acer's Chromebook comes with an 11-inch screen. It runs on Intel's Pentium or Celeron processors, depending on the configuration customers choose, and carries a $349 price tag. The Chromebook Spin 11 is a two-in-one hybrid with a 360 degree hinge that connects the screen with the keyboard, allowing it to be used as a tablet or as a notebook. Acer has pitched the Chromebook Spin 11 as an affordable option for consumers and business users. This slide show will look at the features that Acer has bundled into the Chromebook Spin 11 to make that argument.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 11 is a hybrid with the ability to be used in four different capacities. Its standard mode is as a notebook, thanks to its clamshell design and physical keyboard. A 360-degree hinge allows users to turn the screen around and use it solely as a tablet. Propping the Chromebook on its edges in a "tent" design can be useful for viewing content. Acer also says the keyboard can be used as a stand to prop up the display.
Acer's Chromebook has an 11.6-inch display featuring a 1,366-by-768-pixel resolution. The display is also touch-enabled to provide fast access to software features without using a mouse.
Acer said that the Chromebook Spin 11 can support a stylus, so users can digitally write on the screen and annotate PDFs. However, the stylus is optional on the Chromebook Spin 11 So users will need to buy one separately. According to Acer, the computer is compatible with any stylus powered by Wacom Electro-Magnetic Resonance (EMR) technology.
Acer's Chromebook Spin 11 comes in a variety of models based on the processing power users might want. According to Acer, when the Chromebook Spin 11 is released, customers will be able to choose from the Intel Pentium quad-core N4200, the Intel Celeron quad-core N3450, and the Intel Celeron dual-core N3350. None of these processors anywhere near top of the line, but they will be fine for Internet browsing, word processing, productivity apps and other basic personal and business uses.
In addition to processor choices, users will need to decide how much RAM and storage they want in the Chromebook. Acer is planning to offer one version that comes with 4GB of RAM and another with 8GB. The company is also offering the choice of 32GB or 64GB of onboard storage.
Acer has given owners the opportunity to use two cameras with the Chromebook Spin 11. One of them is a traditional front-facing camera located above the display for capturing selfies or holding one-to-one video conferences. The other, however, sits above the keyboard. According to Acer, that HD webcam has been built with a "wide field of view" so multiple people participating in a video conference can be seen in the frame.
Acer's Chromebook Spin 11 has what the company has identified as "all-day battery life." While Acer didn't say exactly how long the Chromebook Spin 11's battery life will last, mileage may vary depending on the configuration users choose. Different processors, for instance, have different power-saving features.
Acer has bundled several ports in its latest Chromebook, including two USB 3.1 Type-Cs, the company said in a statement. Users will also find two USB 3.0 ports and a microSD card reader. The Type-C ports can be used to transfer data up to a whopping 5Gbps, Acer said in a statement.
In a statement announcing the Chromebook Spin 11, Acer said that its computer will deliver "safety and security" because it runs Google's Chrome OS cloud-based operating system. Acer said that Chrome OS will get automatic updates and will benefit from Google's "multiple levels of security." It's also worth noting that Android apps available in Google Play should also work on the Chromebook.
Acer will begin shipping the Chromebook Spin 11 line in North America in March, although the company disclose an exact shipment date. Acer said that pricing on its new Chromebook will start at $349, but cautioned that it will be selling "several models" with prices that vary according to the processor, RAM, and storage options customers want.
Market research companies Gartner and IDC found that weak PC sales continued into the third quarter with Gartner reporting a steep 8 percent year-over-year decline in U.S. PC shipments.

Home Benidorm Benidorm Holidaymakers Demand Action Against Pickpockets
Benidorm Holidaymakers Demand Action Against Pickpockets
Holidaymakers who visit Benidorm are demanding the police and the Mayor start to take the problem of pickpockets more seriously. Even though back in November 2015 a protest took place by holidaymakers and local Benidorm residents to stamp out pickpockets and crime, nothing has really changed.
Although there are no official figures on how many people are pickpocketed in Benidorm, it is believed there are more than fifty victims each day. Many of those who are pickpocketed don't report the crime. In2town Travel Magazine spoke to some victims who did not make a report to police due to believing nothing could or would be done, while others said they would just put it down to experience.
Some holidaymakers have reported being pickpocketed on their first day in Benidorm. A holidaymaker who posted on Trip Advisor to warn other people of how clever these people are said:
"We have just got back from our holiday in Benidorm which did not start very well. We had a coach transfer from the Airport to our hotel. The coach dropped myself and my husband off outside the Helios hotel and we had to walk a few metres to our hotel, The Presidente. As we were walking up the steps to the hotel reception we had a man and 2 women come up the steps behind us and then they barged between us bumping into my husband. I thought to myself, how rude you can see us struggling with our cases. I assumed they were guests going into the hotel, but no. We went in to the reception area and saw my husband's ruck sack open and our spending money gone."
This type of story is not uncommon. During our research, we found many similar stories and even stories of people being pickpocketed at Alicante Airport before boarding their transfer coach. Other people have reported having their money stolen in the lift while they struggle to take their suitcases to their room.
The majority of victims only lose their money and valuables, but in 2016 ex-pats and holidaymakers were shocked when one victim was beaten up during a mugging.
A 68-year-old pensioner by the name of Alan Stewart was beaten up for his money and valuables just months after undergoing a quadruple heart bypass.
One holidaymaker we spoke to who did not wished to be named said they were very puzzled why the police are not targeting those who commit the crimes in Benidorm. She explained:
"If you go on Facebook and other social networks then you will see many pictures and videos of these criminals. But, even though their pictures are posted everywhere and thousands of holidaymakers know who they are, the police are still not arresting them."
Another holidaymaker said they did not understand why the police were not arresting these people especially when it was common knowledge who they were.
Although Benidorm is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe and is in no doubt a magical place, many of those that love Benidorm are refusing to return until more is done to tackle the problem. However, there is no real evidence the Mayor is taking the problem seriously, forcing holidaymakers to be on their guard and not feeling 100% relaxed or safe.

French actor Gerard Depardieu was refused access to the loo while his flight was on the runway. He then attempted to relieve himself in a bottle, but instead urinated on the floor. The plane returned to the gate, Depardieu was forced to say adieu(he was kicked off) and the rest of the passengers waited two hours while the carpet was scrubbed.
A never-ending font of delight is the list of crazy things people try to smuggle in luggage. Live birds, millions in diamonds, cocaine concealed in toys – even butter, if you can believe it. But one of the most bizarre was the skeleton of a nun, found in a monk's suitcase. A 56-year-old Cypriot monk was detained after security agents discovered a skull and skeleton in his bag. The monk claimed the remains were of a sainted nun. He was charged with theft and desecrating the dead, and was suspended from his duties at the monastery for three months for skipping town without permission.
The equally brilliant ingenuity and sheer idiocy of this move makes it a goody. A UK immigration officer found the ultimate coping mechanism for dealing with an awful marriage: putting his wife on a terrorist watch list while she was visiting family in Pakistan. The move kept his wife from returning home for three years. He was found out and lost his job.
A 53-year-old woman cleared security without incident at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, but TSA agents chased after her down an escalator to call her back. Forget something? Oh, just to inspect your hair! Agents pulled aside the Dallas hairstylist before she could board the tram to her concourse and searched her hair for explosives. Just how big was her hair? she said she hadn't cut it in 41 years.
Staff at a brand of hotels started roaming the halls of the hotels, keeping an ear out for nasal buzzsaws behind closed doors. When someone's snores are loud enough to be heard in the hall, the member of the Snore Patrol knocks on the door to rouse the sleeping guest. How would you like the job title of Snore Monitor? The hotel chain also started building snore-proof rooms in some of its hotels. The specially retrofitted rooms include soundproofed walls and headboards, anti-snoring pillows and white noise machines.
A flight attendant on a jaunt from Fiji to Sydney was fired for putting a toddler in an overhead bin. He claims he was just joining in with the boy's dad – who was playing peek-a-boo with the 17-month-old child – and got a little too into it. The toddler wasn't physically hurt, though three months later he was apparently seeing specialists for anxiety. The mom claims she was so traumatised by the event that she couldn't possibly ever, ever use the three free flights the airline offered her. She's also now estranged from the hubby.

Q: Color,Price, and Size Filter In PHP Codeigniter And Ajax Section 1
I have an issue in " Displaying 1 - 5 of 10 records ". I have a piece of code which works only on first page, when i click on second page then it show the same result " Displaying 1 - 5 of 10 records " Instead of " Displaying 10 of 10 records ".
Code In Controller
 $total=$config["total_rows"];
        $per_page=$config['per_page'];
        $curpage=floor(($this->uri->segment(1)/$config['per_page']) + 1);
        $result_start = ($curpage - 1) * $per_page + 1;
        if ($result_start == 0) $result_start= 1; // *it happens only for the first run*
        $result_end = $result_start+$per_page-1;

        if ($result_end < $per_page)   // happens when records less than per page
        { $result_end = $per_page; }
        else if ($result_end > $total)  // happens when result end is greater than total records
        { $result_end = $total;}
        $data['show']="displaying $result_start to $result_end of $total";

I don't know whats wrong with it, I have tried other code which I find from different websites, but they are not working properly.
Section 2
I have a filter section, where user can filter product by Size, Color and Price,
How to achieve this section?
My main/ Index Controller
public function index($page=1)
    {
         $config = array();
         $keyword    = $this->input->post('search');

        $this->pagination->initialize($config);
        $page = ($page - 1) * $config['per_page'];
        // showing x to y of z records

My Model
    // Paginitions for Items

      function total_items($keyword)
    {
        //return $this->db->count_all("product");
        $this->db->like('product_name',$keyword);
        $this->db->from('product');
        return $this->db->count_all_results();
    }

      //Fetching Products

    public function get_product($limit,$start,$keyword){
    //    $this->db->where('Is_Hidden',0);
//        $this->db->select('*');
//        $this->db->from('product');
        $this->db->order_by('product_id', 'DESC');
        $this->db->limit($limit, $start);
        $this->db->like('product_name',$keyword);
        $query = $this->db->get_where('product');
        if(!$query->num_rows()>0)
        {
             echo '
No product available
';
        }
        else
        {
        foreach ($query->result() as $row) {
                $data[] = $row;
            }
            return $data;
        }
    }

How I can get the Filter section?
UPDATE 1
Section 1 issue has been fixed by replacing those two lines
$curpage=floor(($this->uri->segment(1)/$config['per_page']) + 1);
        if ($result_start == 0) $result_start= 1; //

TO
$curpage=$this->uri->segment(1);
        if ($result_start == 0 || $result_start<0) $result_start= 1; //

Update 2
I somehow did the filter section but now I am stuck in the ajax issue. Issue is that When color or size checkbox is empty then it throw error of foreach loop.
I only need to control the empty or null section, like if the checkbox is unchecked then it will not send / post the value to the controller...
My Ajax Code is
function clr(){
           var selected = new Array();
           var size = new Array();
           var url="<?php echo base_url('Cart/filt_color');?>";
          // alert(url);
              $("input:checkbox[name=color]:checked").each(function() {
                  selected.push($(this).val());
                  //console.log(selected);
              });
            // Sizes
             $("input:checkbox[name=size]:checked").each(function() {
                  size.push($(this).val());
                  //console.log(selected);
              });

              $.ajax({
                  url:url,
                  method:"post",
                  data:{'colors':selected,'sizes':size},
                  success:function(data)
          {
//
              //console.log(data);
              $("#mdv").html(data);

          }

              });

      }

I have tried many check like, undefined, or =='' or data.length <-1 etc. The data.length  will did some check but i am not able to check the variable separately like, there are two variable I am send in data: color,size How can I check the variable separately like: if(data.color.length < 0 ) .

A: When you initialize the pagination config try to use the the controller/method in $config[base_url] and get the page number from $this->uri->segment(3)

A: Answered is Here, All the details and code are posted in the mentioned link question.

Salicylic Acid Peels for the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris in Asian Patients
Ho Sup Lee, Il-Hwan Kim, Gary D. Monheit
BACKGROUND. Salicylic acid peels have been introduced as a useful modality in acne treatment. Few studies have examined its efficacy and safety, especially in darker skin. OBJECTIVE. To assess the efficacy and safety of salicylic acid peels as a treatment for acne vulgaris in Asian patients. METHODS. Thirty-five Korean patients with facial acne were treated with 30% salicylic acid peels biweekly for 12 weeks. Lesion counts and Dr. Cunliffe's score were assessed by a blinded evaluator. Safety assessments and patient's evaluations were also recorded. RESULTS. Both inflammatory and noninflammatory acne lesion counts were decreased in proportion to the duration of treatment. Dr. Cunliffe's acne grade was statistically significantly decreased after treatment. The side effects were tolerable in most cases, and all patients were pleased with their peel results. Stratum corneum hydration, skin surface lipid, skin pH, and transepidermal water loss were unchanged from baseline levels. CONCLUSION. Salicylic acid peels are an effective and safe therapy for acne vulgaris in Asian patients.

Did Kik Just Place a Target on the Backs of its Form-D ICO Peers?
07/06/2019 17:20 - Updated on 07/06/2019 15:56
in Altcoin News, Cryptocurrency News, News, Op-ed
Kik will have its work cut out for it when it goes before a jury trial to face the SEC, and other Form-D ICO companies are no doubt watching. | Source: Shutterstock
By CCN: Kik might very well have good intentions by inviting a fight with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. If the litigation, which the securities regulator has filed against the company, goes Kik's way, it will set a precedent for other blockchain startups that have taken a similar approach to raise funds in an initial coin offering (ICO). But if the other shoe drops, Kik could find that it has placed a target on the backs of its peers that have pursued a similar fundraising path – an ICO seemingly with the SEC's blessing.
Kik filed a Form-D with the securities regulator, paving the way for the company to leapfrog the registration process and accept funds from accredited investors only. In doing so, the company attracted some $100 million to its coffers. They were not the only blockchain-based startup to pursue this route. According to stats in MarketWatch, there were nearly 300 of such deals last year, raising a combined $8.7 billion.

Among them was Telegram, which raised an eye-popping $1.7 billion in its ICO. Now all of the companies that completed Form-D filings are likely waiting with bated breath for the outcome of Kik's trial. Crypto attorney Katherine Wu told MarketWatch:
"If Kik loses to the SEC in court, the vast majority of ICOs that raised money using similar fund-raising mechanisms could suffer negative consequences as a result."
Kik's Form D
So if Kik actually filed with the SEC for its ICO, why are they fighting? According to the SEC's complaint, which Katherine Wu has marked below, Kik did not qualify for the securities registration exemption in which it was claiming.

Among other details, something other Form-D ICO companies are probably studying is the SEC's belief that:
"Kik did not undertake, through its KYC process or otherwise, to determine whether these public sale investors qualified as "accredited investors," as that term is defined by federal securities regulations."
The complaint is chock-full of plenty of other details, which Wu summarized as a "scathing read."

Kik's Chances
Kik has been defiant against the Wall Street regulator, with the company's attorney previously stating of the SEC:
"We do not believe they will withstand judicial scrutiny."
They are expected to face a jury trial, however, which according to Wu is an "important" distinction as the plaintiff makes its case against the blockchain-based company – including the fact that its messaging business has yet to be profitable. The plaintiffs will argue that the ICO, using the words of a Kik board member, was a "hail Mary pass."
If it fails, it could not only deflate Kik's future but that of other ICO companies that filed a Form D with the SEC. Wu says Kik faces an "uphill battle in winning against the SEC." If that's the case, we could begin to see a wave of settlements unfold between other Form-D ICO companies and the securities regulator.

Like many difficult journeys, this one started with a single step. A few missteps have hit us, but we're pushing on.
First, I set my watch to Central time after we landed in Nashville. A little later, I noticed it was running slow. After a bit longer, it stopped completely. It's not like I carry a spare watch, must less a battery. No big deal I supposed. I mainly need it to keep on track during our presentation Tuesday, but we've practiced so should pace well.
Then, tried to start my laptop Monday morning. It was fine the night before, I had even downloaded my updated agenda from www.editgrid.com But it was stone black screen of death. Called the Help Desk. No help. Later they offered to drop ship a replacement, but the logistics outweighed the advantage, as long as the smart phone keeps ticking.
Bette and Lisa did their global available to promise presentation first thing Monday. It was well received, and I deferred a couple questions to our session (Jim+Jim) Tuesday.
My co-speaker advises everyone to watch their speed at the Virginia Tennessee border near Bristol. The NASCAR track doesn't extend to I84.
Throughout the weekend and into Monday we were getting updates on the health and wellbeing of Gretchen and her family in Houston. They have ridden out Hurricane Ike with stories to share during later conference calls.
I saw a few friends during hallway meetings and the neworking lunches and reception, including volunteers like Linda, Jan, Joellyn, Ina, and board members Paul and Chris.
The most fun of the day was as pictured above, where BITI volunteer Nixon Xavier is working on a portion of a large painting that will be given to a hospital. See www.hospitalart.org For more information.
Hats off to the team that found that activity, and to the decision to ban plastic disposable water bottles in favor of water stations. ASUG green!
More later, as long as my typing thumbs can manage.
If you're in Nashville, catch the Don Kelley Band at Robert's Western Wear. The 23-year-old guitarist (J.D. Simo) is going places.
A T shirt street vendor said go to Jack's for the Bar-B-Que, and go to Robert's for the entertainment. She was right!
Oh, yeah, and if you are near the Musician's Hall of Fame and Museum on 6th Street, please pick this up - I didn't have a bag.
In May, I wrote about my trip to Orlando, and the bicycle taxis, as a manifestation of pollution reduction, in an SAP community blog. As a formerly active cyclist, I identified with the pedi-cab drivers over the gasoline-powered taxi drivers.
Today, as the latest SAP conference extravaganza was ending, I got a surprise email from one of the cyclists in Florida, saying they are facing eviction from the Orange County Conference Center grounds. That's really a step back, if you think of what little impact a few bicycles have on the local environment, compared to the cars and buses that most conference attendees use for transportation.
Happy Friday! I hope this message finds you in good spirits. I am one of the pedicab drivers you met at the SAPhire show in Orlando at the Orange County Convention Center. You gave me your business card and told me you would put us in your blog.
We had the Oracle pedicabs. I found the videos on youtube and the link you put in your blog was really nice. Thank you. I really appreciate it.
The County is questioning our operation at the convention center. We have been operating on property and they want us off. We will meet in two weeks to present a case to the County showing our services are used by attendees at the convention center and how much they like it. Can you answer the next two questions?
***How do you feel that our pedicab services helped you in enjoying your visit to the Orange County Convention Center?
***Do you wish to have our services available to you, if you were to come back on another visit?
You, rock, James. I wish you the best.
Of course, I wrote back. If you want to add comments, please visit their site above, or let me know and I'll get you their email address.
Water. Huh. What is it good for?
After I heard about Bottlemania, I checked a copy out of the Baltimore County Public Library. It's extremely well written, though it hovers between being a scientific paper and a travelogue about journeys to places where water is taken from the earth for sale.
I was expecting to find an indictment of big industry, and our increasing dependence on a fad (individual water servings). I did, but I also found significant criticisms about municipal water supplies.
Some of my friends are in the desert today, sort of, if you can call Las Vegas the desert. At summer camp, I read a few more chapters of one of Colin Fletcher's last books, River, One Man's Journey Down the Colorado, Source to Sea. He was outraged and saddened by the destruction caused by damming the Colorado for a reservoir for the city of Las Vegas, and other uses.
I chose not to travel to the conference this year, mainly because of my distaste for gambling, but partly for the environmental destruction exemplified by the excesses of water fountains in arid lands.
A while ago, I learned to keep 30 days of bookmarks, as by the time I notice they are gone the normal 3 copies are overwritten.
Time for a fresh import of "manage my bookmarks..."
