def self.create_or_update_from_values( new_attributes, values )

  ## fix: add/configure logger for ActiveRecord!!!
  logger = LogKernel::Logger.root

  ## check optional values
  values.each_with_index do |value, index|
    if value =~ /^[a-z]{2}$/  ## assume two-letter country key e.g. at,de,mx,etc.
      value_country = Country.find_by_key!( value )
      new_attributes[ :country_id ] = value_country.id
    elsif value =~ /^[A-Z]{3}$/  ## assume three-letter code e.g. AUS, MAL, etc.
      new_attributes[ :code ] = value

    #### fix: use more generic/better date reader (allow more formats!!!)
    elsif value =~ /^([0-9]{1,2})\s(Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)\s([0-9]{4})$/  ## assume birthday
      value_date_str = '%02d/%s/%d' % [$1, $2, $3]     ## move to matcher!!
      value_date = Date.strptime( value_date_str, '%d/%b/%Y' )  ## %b - abbreviated month name (e.g. Jan,Feb, etc.)
      logger.debug "   birthday #{value_date_str}  -  #{value_date}"
      new_attributes[ :born_at ] = value_date
      ## todo: convert to date
    else
      ## todo: assume title2 ??
      ## assume title2 if title2 is empty (not already in use)
      ##  and if it title2 contains at least two letter e.g. [a-zA-Z].*[a-zA-Z]
      # issue warning: unknown type for value
      logger.warn "unknown type for value >#{value}< - key #{new_attributes[:key]}"
    end
  end

  ## quick hack: set nationality_id if not present to country_id
  if new_attributes[ :nationality_id ].blank?
    new_attributes[ :nationality_id ] = new_attributes[ :country_id ]

  # title-ize / normal-ize names (titles/synonyms)

  ##
  ##  make sure title and synonyms do NOT use all UPPERCASE
  ##   e.g. convert Neymar DA SILVA SANTOS to Neymar Da Sliva Santos etc.

  ### fix:  add auto camelcase/titlecase
  ## move to textutils
  ##  make it an option for name to auto Camelcase/titlecase?
  ##  e.g. BONFIM COSTA SANTOS    becomes
  ##       Bonfim Costa Santos  etc.
  ##  fix: better move into person parser?
  ##   store all alt_names titleized!!!

  ## fix: for now works only with ASCII only
  ##  words 2 letters and ups
  ##  fix also allow words w/ quote e.g.  O'Connor etc.
