    function Person(){

    function list_all(){

    }

    function count_all(){
        return $this->db->count_all($this->person);
    }

    function get_paged_list($limit = 0, $offset = 0) {
         $this->db->limit($limit, $offset);
         $this->db->select("person.*, company.company_name as company");
         $this->db->from('person');
         $this->db->join('company','person.company_id = company.company_id','left');
         //MY QUESTION:? CAN I JOIN MORE WITH TABLE POSITION?

        $query = $this->db->get();

    function save($person){
        $this->db->insert($this->person, $person);
        return $this->db->insert_id();
    }

    function update($id, $person){
        $this->db->where('person_id', $id);
        $this->db->update($this->person, $person);
    }

    function delete($id){
