The Pioneer Press says Republican House Speaker Kurt Zellers told the director of the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources she was being let go so the commission could go in a different direction. DFLers are shocked and say the commission itself had no complaints and should have sole authority to make firing decisions. The commission helps direct lottery proceeds to environmental and natural resources projects.

Now viewing scripture range from the book of Job chapter 27:13
through chapter 27:23...
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.


(a) The early years: 1906–1927
Generally the date of a writer's birth, particularly that of a modern writer, should be an uncontroversial matter. However, in Beckett's case, establishing a definite date has not proved so easy; the day Beckett always celebrated was not the one on his birth certificate (the 13th of May). The confusion was compounded by the fact that his birth was registered on the 14th of June; as it was traditional for the family to register the birth of a child a month after the event, it has been assumed that Beckett was actually born in May, and that the April date, falling as it does on a date of great potential significance, was a story propagated by Beckett himself. However, in his recent biography, James Knowlson has provided crucial evidence in favour of the earlier date; Beckett's birth was announced in the Irish Times on April 16th, and the date given on the birth certificate would seem simply to have been a mistake.


The first step of buying a car is figuring out how much to budget for your car insurance costs. There are so many different options, types, and levels of cover available that it seems daunting- not on the point of signing up, but until you know what’s out there.
There are many kinds of car insurance out there – why are certain types and qualities so expensive? Which type of car insurance should you get? Let us have a look at these and more questions in this article!
How Much To Expect With Car Insurance
When you are shopping for car insurance, it can be a daunting task to try to determine what options are available to you and what will fit your budget. When purchasing car insurance, there are several things to consider, including the type of car you drive, how much coverage you need, and how much you are willing to pay. If you want to purchase car insurance then contacting the best car insurance companies is the best idea that can help you to get the best insurance.
Types of Car Insurance
There are four types of car insurance: uninsured/underinsured motorist, comprehensive, collision, and liability. Uninsured / underinsured motorist insurance protects you from being financially responsible for damage caused by another driver who does not have insurance. Comprehensive coverage includes both property damage and bodily injury liabilities. Collision coverage pays for damage done when two vehicles come into contact with each other. Liability insurance covers you if someone is injured or property is damaged as a result of your driving. Each type of policy offers different benefits and has different premiums. Below is a table listing the common features of each type of policy and the corresponding premiums.
How Much Does Auto Insurance Cost?
Different factors will affect the price of car insurance, such as age, location, and driving record. The Cost of Auto Insurance Calculator at Insure.com can help you estimate your costs.
Some general tips for saving on car insurance include: getting a lower-cost policy from an online insurance broker; comparing rates online; bundling policies (such as home and car insurance); and getting discounts through auto club memberships or workplace benefits.
Identity Theft, The Impact on the Auto Insurance Business
There has been a significant uptick in car insurance related identity theft claims over the past few years. In order to protect yourself and your family, it is important to understand what identity theft is and how it can impact your auto insurance policy.
According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, identity theft refers to “the theft of personally identifiable information, such as your name, Social Security number, date of birth, driver’s license number, or bank account number.” This information can be used to commit other crimes, including fraud and robbery.
Identity theft victims can experience a range of problems as a result of the crime, including:
-Difficulty getting new credit cards or loans
-Low credit score due to being reported multiple times for identity theft.
-Loss of status as a victim of identity theft
-Stores refusing to sell items or services due to lack of proper identification
-Inability to get insurance or a job due to incorrect information on their record
Buying Business Auto Insurance
There are a few different types of business auto insurance policies, so it’s important to understand which one is right for your business.
Personal Auto Insurance: This policy covers you and your co-workers if someone is injured while driving your car. If you’re purchasing this type of policy as a business, make sure to ask about liability coverage – this will indemnify you and your company from any legal fees or settlements that may come as a result of an accident.
Property Damage Liability Insurance: This type of policy protects you and your business from financial losses caused by people or animals who damage property while driving on company property. It also covers damage done to the company’s vehicles, equipment, and inventory.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage: This policy protects you and your passengers if someone gets into an accident with an uninsured driver. This coverage can pay for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages caused by the accident.
Businessowners should also consider adding workers’ compensation insurance to their policy, as this will cover employees in accidents while they are on the job.

-Car Insurance Policies: Types, Rates, and Deductibles
-What To Do If You Hit Another Vehicle
If you are like most people, you probably have a few different types of car insurance policies lying around your house. Some are for when you’re driving your own car, while others might protect you in the event that someone else is at fault. Depending on your state and the type of car you drive, your monthly car insurance bill could be anywhere from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. In this blog post, we’re going to discuss some of the most common types of car insurance policies, how much they cost, and what to expect when it comes to rates and deductible amounts.
Annual Car Insurance vs. Monthly Car Insurance
One of the most common types of car insurance policies is annual coverage. Annually-based policies generally offer higher rates than monthly policies, since they include a fixed per-month fee instead of an installment plan. However, annual plans can get very expensive if you don’t hit any claims during the year. In fact, some insurers will charge as much as
When you’re shopping for car insurance, there are a few things you should keep in mind. In this article, we’ll discuss the different types of car insurance, how much they cost, and what to expect when purchasing coverage.
Different Types of Car Insurance
Car insurance can be split into three main types: liability, property, and collision.
Liability is designed to protect you from being held liable if someone is injured or killed as a result of an accident that you were involved in.
Property covers the damage to your car caused by someone else, such as when someone breaks into it.
Collision coverage covers you for accidents where both cars are damaged.
Each type of policy has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it’s important to understand what each one covers before making a purchase.

Where those concerns relate to the Senior Safeguarding Manger however, this should be reported to the Chair using the settings ‘Whistle blowing’ policy.
Signs, symptoms and effects of child abuse and neglect
The signs of child abuse aren't always obvious, and a child might not tell anyone what's happening to them.
Children might be scared that the abuser will find out, and worried that the abuse will get worse. Or they might think that there’s no-one they can tell or that they won’t be believed.
Sometimes, children don't even realise that what's happening is abuse.
The effects of abuse may be short term or may last a long time - sometimes into adulthood. Adults who were abused as children may need advice and support.
Follow the links below for further guidance and support and guidance
We are aware of the possibility of allegations being made against members of staff or volunteers that are working or may meet children and young people whilst in our setting. Allegations will usually be that abuse has taken place. This could include inappropriate behaviour displayed by members of staff or other persons working with the children such as inappropriate sexual comments, excessive one to one attention beyond the requirements their role and responsibilities, inappropriate sharing or images. They can be made by children and young people or other concerned adults. Allegations are made for a variety of reasons:
- Abuse has taken place
- Something has happened to the child that reminds them of a past event – the child is unable to recognize that the situation and people are different; Children can misinterpret your language or your actions.
- Some children recognise that allegations can be powerful and if they are angry with you about something they can make an allegation as a way of hitting out.
- An allegation can be a way of seeking attention.
If an allegation is made against an adult in a position of trust whether they be members of staff or volunteers this should be brought to the immediate attention of the SSM who will advise the Board of Trustees. In the case of the allegation being made against the SDO this will be brought to the immediate attention of the Chair of the Board. The SSM/Chair will need to discuss with the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) the nature of the allegations made against the adult, for the appropriate action to be taken. This may constitute an initial evaluation meeting or strategy discussion depending on the allegation being made. The Chair of the board will need to:
- Refer to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) immediately and follow up in writing within 48 hours. Consider safeguarding arrangements of the child or young person to ensure they are away from the alleged abuser.
- Contact the parents or carers of the child/young person if advised to do so by the LADO.
- Consider the rights of the staff member for a fair and equal process of investigation.
- Ensure that the appropriate disciplinary procedures are followed including whether suspending a member of staff from work until the outcome of any investigation if this is deemed necessary.
- Act on any decision made in any strategy meeting.
- Advise the Independent Safeguarding Authority where a member of staff has been disciplined or dismissed because of the allegations being founded.
A copy of “What to do if you’re worried a child is being abused” can be accessed by following the link:
This sets out the guidelines on dealing with incidents, disclosures and the procedures that must be followed.
All members of staff and volunteers who are required to will have access to safeguarding training at least every three years. This can be accessed via the Devon FA.
We will also, as part of our induction, issue information in relation to our Safeguarding policy and any policy related to safeguarding and promoting our children/young people’s welfare to all newly appointed staff and volunteers. Our Safeguarding Team will undertake any further safeguarding training as required by the English Football League the FA, in addition to any whole setting training. This will be undertaken at least every three years which updates their awareness and understanding of the impact of the wide agenda of safeguarding issues. This will support both the SSM to be able to better undertake their role and support the setting in ensuring our safeguarding arrangements are robust and achieving better outcomes for the children in our setting. This includes taking part in multi-agency training in addition to safeguarding training. Directors/Trustees can have access to safeguarding training and our Named Trustee for Safeguarding will also undertake additional awareness training at least every three years. They will also be advised to undertake additional training to support their employers’ role in Handling Allegations against adults who work with children and young people, including our staff and volunteers.
Our safeguarding arrangements are reported on an annual basis to the Board and our Safeguarding policy is reviewed annually, to keep it updated in line with local and national guidance and legislation. It will also be reviewed in the case of a major incident or organisational change or if required by the EFL or FA.
There will be an automatic place on the agenda for Safeguarding at both Club Board and Charity Board meetings.
We will include our Safeguarding Policy in our settings prospectus (CITY COMMUNITY TRUST and Academy) and website and will post copies of our policy throughout the settings.

The Washington Companies Disclose All-Cash Proposal to Acquire Dominion Diamond Corporation for US$13.50 per share
US$1.1 Billion Proposal Would Provide Substantial Premium to Dominion Diamond Shareholders
Missoula, Mont. – March 19, 2017
The Washington Companies (“Washington”), a group of privately held North American mining, industrial and transportation businesses founded by industrialist and entrepreneur Dennis R. Washington, today announced that it has made a proposal to the board of directors of Dominion Diamond Corporation (TSX: DDC, NYSE: DDC) (“Dominion”) for a transaction in which Washington would acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Dominion for US$13.50 per share in cash, representing a 36 percent premium to Dominion’s closing stock price on March 17, 2017 and a 54 percent premium to the price when discussions ended on March 15, 2017.
The proposal, which was made in a letter to Dominion’s board of directors on February 21, 2017, is not conditional on financing but is conditional on Washington conducting confirmatory due diligence during a period of exclusivity and negotiating an acquisition agreement. After multiple discussions and concessions made by Washington over a three-week period, Dominion’s board of directors continues to refuse to grant Washington access to due diligence, which Washington has stated could lead to an increased offer price, on terms acceptable to Washington.
Washington has a long track record of growing its businesses throughout North America, with expertise in the mining industry and the Canadian market. Washington strongly supports Dominion’s plans to develop the Company’s mining assets, while positively impacting current and future employees and benefiting local communities. Washington would provide Dominion opportunities for further growth and work closely with management to put in place an appropriate long-term cost structure to preserve the operational and financial flexibility for management to execute its strategic plan. The nature of the mining business favors an owner such as Washington, which has a deep understanding of the sector, a long-term view and permanent capital to invest in the business over multiple decades.
“We believe our proposal is extremely compelling and clearly in the best interests of Dominion and all of its stakeholders, including shareholders, customers, employees, and communities,” said Lawrence R. Simkins, President of Washington. “If the transaction is consummated, it would provide Dominion shareholders with a substantial cash premium and offer superior value to that which Dominion could realize through ongoing execution of its plan or any other available alternative transaction. As a part of Washington, Dominion would receive significant, long-term investment to develop its most promising growth assets, creating meaningful opportunities for its employees and the communities in which it operates.”
Mr. Simkins continued, “We are disappointed that Dominion’s board has thus far prevented Washington from moving ahead with its proposal under which shareholders would receive a substantial premium and immediate liquidity, but we remain fully committed to completing this transaction.”
Background On Discussions
Following Washington’s proposal to Dominion’s board of directors on February 21, 2017, the companies engaged in discussions and an in-person meeting to discuss the terms upon which Washington would be given access to due diligence and a potential path forward. On March 15, 2017 the Dominion board of directors advised that it would not grant Washington access to due diligence unless Washington agreed to a broad 12-month standstill and would not agree to an exclusivity period as requested by Washington for it to complete its due diligence. Despite reasonable accommodations, which included Washington agreeing to a partial standstill providing that it would not acquire shares, make an unsolicited offer or sponsor a proxy fight during the standstill period and offering generous carve-outs to its exclusivity request, Dominion still refused. Washington made it clear to Dominion that, while it would agree to certain standstill restrictions, under no circumstances would it agree to be restricted from publicly disclosing its proposal if the parties could not come to a definitive agreement. As a result, discussions have ended.
The proposal letter sent by Washington to Dominion Diamond’s board of directors on February 21, 2017 follows:
February 21, 2017
James Gowans, Chairman,
and the Board of Directors
Dominion Diamond Corporation
4920-52nd Street Suite 1102
Yellowknife, NT I X1A 3T1 I Canada
Dear Mr. Gowans and Directors:
The Washington Corporations (“Washington” or “we”) are pleased to submit this non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of the equity of Dominion Diamond Corporation (the “Company” or “you”) in an all-cash transaction (the “Proposed Transaction”) on substantially the terms described in this letter.
Based on our knowledge of the Company from publicly available sources, we are proposing to acquire 100% of the Company’s outstanding common shares in cash at USD$13.50/share, which represents a 35% premium to the closing price of USD$9.98 on Friday, February 17th. The Proposed Transaction allows all of the Company’s shareholders to realize immediate, significant cash consideration for their shares. The making of a binding proposal with respect to the Proposed Transaction will be subject to our confirmatory diligence, as discussed below, and the negotiated terms of a customary definitive acquisition agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”). We anticipate that the Proposed Transaction would be structured as a statutory plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act. Subject to the completion of due diligence we may value the Company higher than the indicated price.
The Washington Companies are a group of individual privately held companies headquartered throughout the United States and Western Canada, conducting business internationally. Our purpose is to reliably provide equipment, technology, service, and special expertise that aid our customers to operate more efficiently and more profitably. We have focused our businesses in the areas of mining, marine transportation, rail transportation, heavy equipment distribution, environmental remediation and aviation technology and service. We have a long history of successfully completing transactions of this nature in an expedient fashion. We have consistently demonstrated our commitment to our businesses by supporting our management teams’ growth initiatives through high levels of service and the timely and prudent investment of capital. In particular, we are committed to mining in North America and have deep experience as the owner and operator of Montana Resources, which is an open pit copper and molybdenum mine in Butte, Montana — one of the largest in North America.
We, along with our team of advisors, have followed the Company closely and are familiar with its operations, assets and with the diamond industry. We strongly support management’s plans to develop the Company’s mining assets and to continue to pursue strategies for further growth. In particular, we believe that development of the Ekati Mine Jay pipe is important to all of the stakeholders of the Company, including the local economy, and is an integral part of the value of the business. We also believe that the nature of the mining business favors a shareholder with a long-term view, patience and effectively permanent capital to invest in the business over multiple decades.
Given our long-term investment philosophy, we anticipate starting with a conservative capital structure that will allow us to continue development of the Ekati Mine Jay pipe and pursue the Company’s current mining plan, while providing opportunity for further growth. We have the resources to fund the Proposed Transaction from existing liquidity. However, we will likely access the debt markets for a portion of the consideration in order to provide the Company with the most appropriate and cost-effective long-term capital structure. Based on our experience, we are confident that we will be able to arrange the debt financing needed to support this acquisition and do not expect the Acquisition Agreement or related documentation to contain a financing contingency. Any changes to this proposed leverage and structure will be assessed in collaboration with management to ensure that we preserve the operational and financial flexibility necessary for the management to execute its business plan.
As noted above, the making of a binding proposal to complete the Proposed Acquisition would be subject to: (a) negotiation of a mutually satisfactory binding Acquisition Agreement and related documentation with standard representations, warranties, conditions and other provisions; and (b) completion of confirmatory due diligence, including: site visits, meeting with management and customary operational, financial, legal and tax due diligence. The Acquisition Agreement would be subject to standard conditions of closing, including but not limited to, satisfaction of any required regulatory approvals (which are not expected to be of any consequence).
We have been working with advisors and the publicly available information to further our understanding of the diamond industry and the Company in particular. We are prepared to move expeditiously to complete our due diligence and to negotiate the definitive Acquisition Agreement within a 45-day confirmatory due diligence period, which would be extendable by 15 days if we are still working in good faith to negotiate the definitive Acquisition Agreement after 45 days, and to do so in a manner which would not be disruptive to the Company.
Until such time as we and the Company enter into a definitive Acquisition Agreement, any public disclosure by the Company of the existence or contents of this letter would be premature. If this letter is accepted and agreed to, the Company agrees that the existence and contents of this letter shall be held in strict confidence by the Company and, except as required by law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange and after prior notice to Washington to the extent permissible, no disclosure of the contents of this letter shall be made to any person whatsoever other than its directors, officers and employees and/or advisors who “need to know” such information for the purpose of proceeding with the Proposed Transaction.
Based upon the substantial premium we expect to be offering to your shareholders, the benefits involved for all of your stakeholders, and the substantial time and resources we are spending on the Proposed Transaction, we request an exclusivity period for Washington to complete its outstanding diligence and enter into a definitive Acquisition Agreement with the Company. If this letter is accepted, in consideration of the time that will be expended and the expenses incurred by us in connection with pursuing the Proposed Transaction, you agree that for a period commencing on the date of your acceptance of this letter until 45 days from the date we are first given access to a formal and substantially complete data room with due diligence materials (which period shall be extended by 15 days if we are still working in good faith to negotiate the definitive Acquisition Agreement after 45 days): (a) you and your affiliates will not, and will not permit your and their respective officers, directors or agents (collectively, “Agents”), directly or indirectly, to take any action to solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any Acquisition Proposal (as hereinafter defined), and: (b) you will promptly advise us if you receive any inquiries or proposals from a third party or their Agents regarding an Acquisition Proposal, including the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. The term “Acquisition Proposal” means any offer or proposal for, or any indication of interest in, (i) the direct or indirect purchase of any of the shares of the Company or any successor, (ii) any merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other business combination involving the Company or any successor, (iii) the acquisition of any equity interest in, or any material portion of, the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries or any successor or any assets used in the business of the Company, or (iv) any offer or proposal for a securitization, monetization or similar arrangements relating to the Company, its business or its assets, other than the transactions contemplated by this letter. You represent and warrant to us that you and your Agents are not currently involved in any discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal by any person or entity other than Washington.
Except for the two preceding paragraphs (which are intended to be binding), this letter is non-binding and does not create or impose any legal obligation on any party. In particular, notwithstanding anything in this letter to the contrary, this letter is a statement of our intentions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws, is not a legally binding agreement on Washington, and shall not give rise to any legal consequences in any respect. Washington will not be legally bound to purchase the Company until the parties enter into binding definitive agreements.
Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Larry Simkins at (406) 523-1383.
We hope you will agree that the prompt implementation of the Proposed Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and all of its stakeholders. The Proposed Transaction provides all shareholders immediate, substantial cash consideration for their shares, while providing the Company a stable, long-term owner focused on growing the Company. This will provide significant employment and economic benefit over a mine life that may be extended by decades, positively impacting the Company’s current and future employees and the communities of the First Nations, the Northwest Territories and all of Canada. We ask that you respond to us by February 28, 2017. We look forward to hearing from you, so that we can begin to move forward together with this exciting transaction.

New Government Jobs India is not a recruitment agency. we do not provide any job recruitment. we are just sharing job details and new job information Here we provide only theories about different types of work.


The CPI(M) and the Congress have inched closer to seal a pre-poll alliance ahead of the assembly elections with an internal report of the Left party claiming joint agitations of the two parties are getting good response from grassroots workers.
The observation left the leaders of both the parties upbeat as in the 2016 assembly polls the alliance failed to make any impact since the district-level leaders and workers did not wholeheartedly endorse the tie-up.
The proposed alliance failed to materialise in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls as the two parties failed to reach an agreement on the seat-sharing deal due to unwillingness of most local units to give up seats to the alliance partner.
To avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, CPI(M) West Bengal secretary Surjya Kanta Mishra on Saturday directed all the district units to send a list of winnable candidates by this month to enable the party’s state leadership to initiate seat-sharing discussions with the Congress well in advance, party sources said.
Mishra gave the directive after the report based on feedbacks from the districts made a strong case for an alliance, stating that the joint agitations of the two parties against the contentious farm laws enacted by the Centre and “growing atrocities” against women in the state in particular and the country in general got “huge response.”
The two parties have been jointly holding a series of such protests across the state over the past one month.
Congress’s state president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury claimed the alliance would be a “game changer” in the 2021 assembly elections.
Since taking over charge of the state unit, Chowdhury has been insisting that the present political understanding between the left parties and the Congress should be converted into an electoral alliance.
The CPI(M) state leadership was also keen on a tie-up with the Congress to put up a joint fight against the Trinamool Congress and the BJP. “But for us, feedbacks of the district units were crucial as in our party grassroots workers have a very strong say on policy matters,” said a CPI(M) leader, who did not wish to be named as he is not authorised to speak to the media.
Stating that the alliance is now almost a reality, he said, the challenge would be to translate the crowds coming to the joint programs into votes. For that, the party needs to revive its booth-level organisations, which appears to be a tough task at present.
CPI(M) insiders admit that the party is failing to attract young people needed to galvanise its rusted poll-machinery. Most of the party’s state leaders are above 60.
This concern was manifested when Mishra, at a virtual meeting of the party on Sunday evening, stressed on the need to promote the youth in leadership roles.
Even the Congress is an ageing party in the state, thus denying the proposed alliance the much needed youth power to take on the might of the TMC and the BJP.

These Evaluation Microdata Documentation and De-Identification Guidelines 1 provide guidance to Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) staff and contractors, as well as the staff and contractors of partner governments that receive MCC funding on how to store, manage, and disseminate evaluation microdata collected as part of an MCC-funded program.
MCC collects microdata through surveys for a variety of purposes—from problem diagnostics, to project design, to evaluations. Unlike input and output data that is typically aggregated, microdata is unique in that it is collected—and can be reported—at the individual, household, enterprise, and/or community level. It also tends to have two distinguishing characteristics: it is personally identifiable and can be sensitive.
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information that can be used, on its own or in conjunction with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual, to determine the identity of an individual or otherwise locate or contact the individual. It includes:
- Direct Identifiers: such as the individual’s full name, date of birth, mailing or home address, email address, telephone number, GPS coordinates, national identification number, physical/biological identifiers (physical appearance, through photo or video data collection, fingerprints, DNA, etc.); and
- Indirect Identifiers: These include unique, observable or other characteristics that may enable re-identification even when direct identifiers are removed. Risk of re-identification is closely linked to the population the sample is drawn from and understanding how likely an outlier in the data is an outlier in the population 2 .
- Sensitive data is information that may pose a risk to the individual or firm if it is collected or released in a way that is linkable to the individual or firm responding to a survey. This type of data may include income, assets, or health status, the public release of which could harm survey respondents.
Microdata presents unique challenges to MCC using and disseminating the data. As an ethical matter, MCC, its agents, and its country partners must protect the survey respondents from harm that may be caused by public release of microdata. This obligation grows out of the informed consent process by which respondents are informed of the survey’s purpose and the identities of those who will have access to the collected information, and are promised that their responses will be kept confidential. Complying with this obligation is complicated by the fact that, unlike many federal agencies that collect PII as part of their programs, MCC does not have legal authority in its enabling statute to unconditionally protect the confidentiality of that information. 3 Moreover, the U.S. Government-wide statutes that commonly protect privacy do not apply to MCC’s evaluation-related microdata. 4 Without legal protection for the PII collected by MCC through its programs, such data could be subject to disclosure under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 which requires all US federal agencies to make their records available to persons who request them. 6 Another constraint to providing complete protection of survey respondent confidentiality is that MCC’s assistance to its country partners is provided through grants. This means that the microdata acquired with grant proceeds are assets and property of the grantee, which limits MCC’s ability to control access and dissemination and ultimately, its ability to ensure complete protection of the data. With these challenges in mind, MCC has defined three, often competing, objectives that guide its microdata protection principles and practices:
|Protect privacy of survey respondents||All data handlers (MCC, MCA, data collection firms, evaluation firms) should maintain promise of confidentiality made through informed consent process.||While it is clear how to minimize risk through removal of direct identifiers, assessing risk regarding inclusion of indirect identifiers, as well as assessing risk posed by other existing documentation that can link to this data, should be taken on a case-by-case basis.|
|Facilitate verification of evaluation analysis||Independent Evaluators (individuals or firms) are contracted to design, produce, and disseminate the results of the evaluations. MCC seeks to adhere to norms within the research community by ensuring that each evaluation’s analytic results are verifiable—meaning MCC’s stakeholders, including policy-makers, researchers, implementers, and the general public—have the ability to analyze the same data as the Evaluators and replicate the statistical results.||Until now, many independent Evaluators use the complete, identifiable data for analysis. When de-identification is conducted AFTER analysis, data permutations—such as top/bottom coding, grouping, or even removing variables—may alter the data in a way that reduces a new user’s ability to verify original Evaluator analysis.For qualitative data, the required de-identification process may severely reduce opportunity to verify results.|
|Maximize usability of microdata||MCC aims to maximize the usability of microdata for analysis above and beyond the original purposes of the evaluation, while respecting the terms of the informed consent. For example, the evaluation-related microdata could be used for analysis on other outcomes, or to examine differential impacts by geography, socio-economic, or gender characteristics. Such analysis may fall outside the original scope of the evaluation but have important development policy dimensions or business value.||When de-identification is conducted, data permutations—such as top/bottom coding, grouping, or even removing variables—may alter the data in a way that reduces its usability.For qualitative data, the required de-identification process may severely reduce the usability of the data.|
Prior to Data Collection
The protection of human subjects begins prior to data collection, with the Evaluation Design Report and survey materials, when the Evaluator defines what data needs to be collected and why. If PII does not need to be collected, then it should not be included in the questionnaire. If data that is being collected is already publicly available and not sensitive, then strict promises of confidentiality are not needed. All this should be discussed and agreed between the Evaluator, MCC, and partner country staff prior to data collection to ensure the research protocol and corresponding informed consent statement align with the requirements of the study. With this in mind, MCC has the following guidelines:
Training. To manage independent Evaluator contracts and oversee microdata collection efforts, all MCC Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) staff should complete training on the protection of human subjects (to be renewed every 3–5 years). There is a free, online course available through the National Institute for Health—https://phrp.nihtraining.com/users/login.php. MCC recommends that all relevant MCA staff and evaluation contractors (Evaluators, data collection firms) also complete a similar training.
Institutional Review Board (IRB) clearance. As per MCC’s standard independent Evaluator contracts, all independent Evaluators must submit a research protocol that covers the entire evaluation period—whether by multiple submissions to the IRB or annual renewals—to a registered Institutional Review Board 7 (IRB) to ensure appropriate study protocols are in place to protect the human subjects involved in evaluation-related microdata collection, storage, and dissemination. To do this, Evaluators must first assess local requirements, with the support of the MCA, and determine: (i) if there is a local IRB and if that local IRB is registered, and (ii) if any additional local requirements (such as cost) conform to international standards. If the local requirements do not conform to international standards, the Evaluator will work with MCC and MCA on a case-by-case basis to determine the way forward.
In MCC’s experience, IRB costs should be estimated at $3,000–$5,000 depending on how many years the protocol must be in place. The process of submitting a protocol to an IRB can range from a few days to few months depending on the complexity of the study, the IRB schedule, and local requirements. The time and cost necessary for IRB review should be built into the Evaluator’s work plan from the beginning.
Informed Consent statement. The MCC Disclosure Review Board (DRB) has approved a generic informed consent statement for quantitative data collection (Annex 1). Although this statement is recommended, MCC recognizes the final informed consent statement must be reviewed and cleared by the Evaluator’s IRB. In instances where the IRB requires changes to the standard informed consent statement, Evaluators are requested to flag these changes during the MCC Evaluation Management Committee (EMC) review of survey materials to document any changes in how data will be collected, stored, and/or disseminated. The MCC M&E lead will determine what, if anything, needs to be flagged and discussed with the DRB.
Storage and Transfer
While following the IRB approved research protocol, microdata handlers (data collection firms, Evaluators, MCA staff, MCC staff), should also ensure the following:
Storage and Disposal of Paper Questionnaires. When used, paper-based questionnaires should be stored for two distinct functions:
- Verification of survey responses. This function should be addressed as soon as possible upon completion of data collection and alongside data entry. Double-data entry, with paper-based verification of discrepant responses, yields nearly perfect correspondence between responses and keypunched data and should be required of all quantitative surveys. Once this has been completed, the non-respondent-identifier sections of the questionnaire should be immediately and securely destroyed (shredded or burned depending on local resources).
- Re-contact information. When there is any need to maintain respondent identifier information—such as required for conducting a panel survey—this information should be linked to the remainder of the data through non-identifying unique codes, then removed from the remainder of the data, and securely stored. Securely, electronically scanned versions of these may be preferable to the originals. Once securely stored, any paper-based versions should be immediately and securely destroyed (shredded or burned depending on local resources).
Microdata Storage. Once data collection ends, there should be specific practices in place to protect confidentiality of the microdata during storage. This includes actions by any data handlers, such as: encrypting data files; employing password protection on data systems and data encryption; and requiring relevant stakeholders to sign non-disclosure agreements. As per MCC information technology standards, the end point encryption software should meet AES-256 encryption standards or above.
Microdata Transfer/Access. When sharing identifiable data files—data with PII, either direct or indirect identifiers—data handlers should use a secure file transfer system and controlled access to the storage mechanism, considering the following:
- Ensure all communication channels are encrypted, especially Wi-Fi connections;
- File transfers should occur only through https connections;
- Use of hyperlinks for connections should be prohibited; instead, users should only connect to trusted sites by manually starting a new web-browsing session;
- As a last resort, password protect and encrypt all PDFs or other document types if there are no other solutions available for secure file transfers. Send passwords via a separate email or phone the recipient.
Documentation and Dissemination – Evaluation Documents
To facilitate access to and usability of evaluation microdata, a sub-set of evaluation documentation deliverables will be posted on the MCC Evaluation Catalog and must be Section 508 compliant 8 . When necessary, this may require submitting an ‘internal only’ version of a document, as well as a ‘public-use’ version of the document (for example if the Evaluation Design Report contains geographic identifiers that may enable future re-identification of the respondent(s)). Table 1 summarizes the required documentation and format for documentation that must be made publicly available.
|Evaluation Design Report, Baseline Report, Interim Report(s), Final Report||Word or searchable PDF||These documents (deliverables required under MCC contracts) provide necessary design and analytical information for users of the data. Evaluators should ensure that all public use documents/reports have been reviewed and edited to remove any references, such as geographic locations, that may threaten or undo data de-identification efforts.With regard to versions of Evaluation Design Reports (EDR), under current contracts MCC requires Evaluators to update the EDR as needed over the life of the evaluation. Any revisions should be documented in the EDR so that course corrections/revisions are clearly documented. In the event that one Evaluator inherits an evaluation from another, the original Evaluator’s EDR will be posted on the Evaluation Catalog along with the new Evaluator’s EDR.|
|Metadata File||Nesstar (Annex 2) and PDF of Nesstar file||Once an EDR is cleared by MCC, the Evaluator should prepare the metadata file for the public evaluation catalog entry. The metadata can be updated/revised as necessary over the course of the evaluation. Please note: do not attach any data sets or related documents under the “other materials” or “external resources” sections.|
|Informed Consent Statement||Word, searchable PDF||The IRB approved informed consent statement should be published, either independently or as part of the questionnaire(s).|
|Questionnaires (English and local language) and related documentation||Original editable source and searchable PDF||All survey questionnaires – baseline, interim, final – should be shared in a way that enables reuse by sharing the original editable source file. Evaluators may also submit a searchable PDF. Related documentation may also include sampling, field operations and interviewer manuals when needed for complete documentation of survey protocols. Any translation requirements should follow the Evaluator scope of work.For qualitative data, this documentation should include de-identified codebooks, field notes, researcher journals, etc. that would enable replication of the study.|
Documentation and Dissemination – Microdata (Quantitative)
For every evaluation, the following should be considered:
- Consider and document de-identification strategy early. De-identification efforts often require data permutations – such as suppression of specific variables’ values, including, top and bottom coding, conversion of continuous variables to categorical or removal of any identifiable variation. Even if microdata does not need to be submitted to MCC until ALL data arounds are completed, the Evaluator should consider their de-identification strategy early and prior to analysis and document it in the DRB Data Package Worksheet for each round. Evaluators are encouraged to share their de-identification strategy with MCC as early as baseline to discuss implications for future verification of analysis and public and/or restricted access of microdata.
- For each data collection round, Evaluator should submit data documentation package. Unless otherwise contractually required (i.e. a contract is expiring) or demanded by stakeholders (MCC, partner countries, other), the microdata files (the STATA files) do not need to be submitted to MCC for DRB review. However, upon completion of a data collection round (baseline, interim(s), final), the Evaluator should submit the survey materials (informed consent, questionnaire(s), updates to the metadata, etc) and the completed DRB Data Package Worksheet (Annex 3) to MCC as deliverables.
- Submit complete data files of ALL data rounds as one data package for DRB Review: MCC aims for the microdata that is released as public and/or restricted-access to be as complete as possible. This means ALL data that was collected as part of the survey is included in the data package, not just constructed variables produced for the evaluation report. Unless otherwise agreed with MCC and stakeholders, Evaluators should plan to package ALL data rounds (baseline, interim(s), and final) as ONE data package for the DRB to review for public and/or restricted-access use. This is to ensure consistency in how de-identification of data is managed across data rounds, minimize risk of re-identification across rounds, and reduce costs. In cases where an Evaluator’s contract will expire before the final round, or there is demonstrated demand for early rounds (baseline; interim(s)), then the Evaluator and MCC will discuss appropriate management of the microdata and work to ensure de-identification is managed in a way that considers publication of future rounds.
- Separate de-identification code from analysis code. As a standard deliverable, MCC requests analysis code submitted as part of the final microdata package to enable/facilitate verification of evaluation analysis. This means the Evaluator should ensure any de-identification code is written separately from analysis code to ensure re-identification risks are minimized because de-identification code should NOT be publicly shared.
- Run analysis code on de-identified data. When possible, Evaluators should run analysis code on the de-identified data files to demonstrate verification successes and/or challenges. This would improve documentation associated with reports and microdata, and complement the Transparency Statement (discussed below) to report what can, and cannot, be verified by the public-use and/or restricted-access data.
- Timely release of microdata. MCC aims for microdata to be released in a timely manner to maximize usability, and therefore aims for release no later than 6 months following publication of the Final Report.
When ready to prepare microdata for public and/or restricted-access, Evaluators should expect to submit the following package to MCC for DRB review:
|DRB Data Package Worksheet||Word (Annex 3)||Evaluators will follow this Worksheet, which draws on best practices outlined by the International Household Survey Network 9 , as well as recommendations of the Confidentiality and Data Access Committee (CDAC) 10 , a forum sponsored by the Office of Management and Budget’s Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology, the US Census Bureau, and USAID’s Demographic and Health Surveys.|
|Data – Public Use and/or Restricted Access||Stata 13 (or other format agreed with MCC)||This should be the complete data file – including the full dataset as collected and any constructed analysis variables. The ability to de-identify the data as per informed consent promises will inform whether or not this data is public use and/or restricted access. In some cases, Evaluators have needed to produce public use files (to facilitate broad use of the data) AND restricted access files (to facilitate verification of results using data that cannot be made public).|
|Data Codebook – Public Use and/or Restricted Access||Stata codebook output to review data – the codebook should include a label book as well as basic summary statistics including frequency and distribution information.|
|Code – Public Use and/or Restricted Access||Stata do file (or other format agreed with MCC)||This is the analysis code to produce the variables and analysis reported in the Evaluator report(s).|
|Transparency Statement||Searchable PDF||Evaluators should prepare Transparency Statement which states the extent to which data (public use and/or restricted access) can enable verification of results presented in the evaluation report. This would be discussed with the DRB and then finalized based on the final approved data file(s).|
If necessary, this package should include any updates to the Metadata for the Evaluation Catalog.
The submission of the full data package for DRB review should be a multi-step review process:
- Evaluator and M&E Project Manager (PM) should agree on expected DRB review date as early as possible to confirm scheduling in line with Evaluator contract and work plan. This should be scheduled at least one month before the Evaluator’s contract expires given potential required follow-up after the DRB review.
- Evaluator should submit full package to M&E PM. M&E PM should review Metadata and DRB Data Package Worksheet for clarity and completeness. This may require one round of revision based on the M&E PM requests for clarity and completeness.
- Evaluator should submit full package to M&E PM. M&E PM and the M&E DRB members should establish a first-round review and provide feedback to the Evaluator on the proposed data de-identification process. This may require a second round of revision to the package based on feedback on documentation clarity and completeness, as well as proposed de-identification strategy.
- Evaluator should submit full package to M&E PM for the confirmed DRB review date at least 2 weeks prior to the agreed DRB review date.
- If any feedback/revisions are required following DRB review, Evaluator should revise and resubmit full package to M&E PM with documented responses to DRB feedback to ensure timely virtual review and clearance of the full package.
Documentation and Dissemination – Microdata (Qualitative)
As of December 2016, MCC does not expect qualitative data to be prepared for public-use given unknowns 11 regarding de-identification and usability of qualitative data. In cases where the informed consent allows for qualitative data to be considered for restricted-access use, the Evaluator should prepare the data package for future DRB review. Given MCC does not have a restricted-access mechanism for such data yet, the data package will be held at MCC until the restricted-access mechanism is developed. At that point, the qualitative data package will be reviewed by the DRB and considered for restricted-access dissemination.
When preparing qualitative data for storage and future consideration of restricted-access, Evaluators should expect to submit the following package to MCC:
|DRB Data Package Worksheet||Word (Annex 3)||To prepare microdata, Evaluators will complete the Worksheet, which draws on best practices outlined by the International Household Survey Network 12 , as well as recommendations of the Confidentiality and Data Access Committee (CDAC) 13 , a forum sponsored by the Office of Management and Budget’s Federal Committee on Statistical Methodology, the US Census Bureau, and USAID’s Demographic and Health Surveys.|
|Data – Restricted Access||Stata 13 (or other format agreed with MCC)||This should be the complete data file – including the full dataset as collected and any constructed analysis variables. The ability to de-identify the data as per informed consent promises will inform whether or not this data is public use and/or restricted access. In some cases, Evaluators have needed to produce public use files (to facilitate broad use of the data) AND restricted access files (to facilitate verification of results using data that cannot be made public).|
|Data Codebook – Restricted Access||Stata codebook output to review data – the codebook should include a label book as well as basic summary statistics including frequency and distribution information.|
|Code – Restricted Access||Stata do file (or other format agreed with MCC)||This is the analysis code to produce the variables and analysis reported in the Evaluator report(s).|
|Transparency Statement||Searchable PDF||Evaluators should prepare a draft Transparency Statement which states the extent to which data (restricted access) can enable verification of results presented in the evaluation report. This would be a stand-alone document in the Evaluation Catalog, alongside the evaluation analysis report.|
Guidelines for Evaluators Sharing Data prior to MCC DRB Review
- The evaluation team is free to pursue analysis and publications beyond the scope of the evaluation in accordance with the informed consent process, IRB approved research protocol, and the terms of the contract with MCC. MCC will not cover the costs of such an analysis as it falls out of scope of the evaluation contract.
- MCC expects the evaluation team to adhere to MCC’s protection of human subjects requirements by submitting the proposed analysis protocol to their IRB, informing the IRB of the additional analysis that is outside of the original scope of the project, and adhering to the IRB’s recommendations for data sharing.
- The evaluation team should include in the submission to the IRB an assessment of risk associated with providing the summary statistics/data for re-identification of future public-use and/or restricted-access data available on the MCC Evaluation Catalog. Will provision of the summary statistics/data enable/increase re-identification of that data?
- The evaluation team should inform MCC of the IRB decision for this specific request.
- MCC requests the evaluation team inform MCC about the results of this additional analysis—i.e. work with us to circulate the initial findings to interested stakeholders. If/when any manuscript is published, the evaluation team should share it with MCC to circulate to interested parties.
- When the evaluation team prepares the public-use and/or restricted-access data for the DRB, they should include a discussion of the IRB decision to share summary statistics/data outside the original evaluation team to inform the DRB’s decisions around release of public-use and/or restricted-access data.
In addition to the guidelines found here, data handlers should consult with the MCA to comply with all relevant local laws, including those that may supersede or conflict with these guidelines or prevent dissemination. Where local law prevents compliance with these guidelines, the MCC and partner country M&E and legal staff should prepare a memo to guide staff and contractors on how to proceed.
Effective Date and Revisions to these Guidelines
These guidelines are effective as of January 23, 2017. These guidelines may be revised and updated from time to time, and such revision will be promptly posted on the MCC website. If the guidelines are updated during the course of one evaluation or contract, staff and contractors are requested to apply the most recent, approved version to their work to the extent possible.
Appendix 1: Terms – Microdata
|Raw data||This is the data directly collected by the data collection firm and submitted to the Evaluator.||Raw data that is otherwise publicly available, low risk, and/or contains no PII should be submitted to MCC as a deliverable and packaged for public use.Raw data that includes sensitive, PII data is USUALLY NOT submitted to MCC. Management of this data will be discussed on a case-by-case basis until MCC has an available option for rigorous management of identifiable data. This is particularly crucial for the continuation of a study when there is a change in Evaluator.|
|Public-Use data and code||Public use data is de-identified to be in line with promises made through the informed consent. Public use data should include the full set of variables as collected, as well as any constructed variables for analysis, as well as the code used to construct those variables and conduct analysis.||Evaluators should submit the code for constructing the analysis variables to facilitate verification of results. Simply submitting the analysis file of constructed variables is insufficient as it does not allow for re-tracing how variables are constructed.MCC aims for a public-use file to be prepared and disseminated for EVERY evaluation, if only to meet our ‘maximize usability’ objective. If required data permutations for de-identification limit ability to verify results and/or maximize usability, then a restricted-access file must be considered.|
|Restricted-Access data and code||This is data that removes direct identifiers (names, addresses, GPS coordinates), but retains indirect identifiers. As with public-use data, restricted-access data should include the full set of variables as collected, as well as any constructed variables for analysis, including the code used to construct those variables and conduct analysis.||When a public-use file cannot meet verification and/or usability objectives, and the informed consent allows for restricted-access to the data, then Evaluators will be requested to prepare restricted access files in addition to or instead of the public-use file (as applicable).For restricted-access files still considered ‘high risk’ by the DRB, there is currently no mechanism for dissemination. Evaluators are asked to prepare these files and either (i) store them until MCC establishes the mechanism or (ii) submit to MCC to store if it is not possible for the firm to store.|

Notes to Non-Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2007 and 2006, and December 31, 2006
LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in 1985 under its original name of LG Soft, Ltd., under the Commercial Code of the Republic of Korea and commenced the manufacturing and sale of Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT LCD) from 1999. On July 26, 1999, LG Electronics Inc., Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (Philips) and the Company entered into a joint venture agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company changed its name from LG LCD Co., Ltd. to LG.Philips LCD Co., Ltd. effective August 27, 1999 and on August 31, 1999, the Company issued new shares of common stock to Philips for proceeds of (Won)725,000 million and Philips acquired a 50% interest in LG LCD Co., Ltd.
The Company listed its shares with the Korea Stock Exchange and with US Securities and Exchange Commission in July, 2004.
As of March 31, 2007, the Company has outstanding capital stock amounting to (Won)1,789,079 million.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its interim non-consolidated financial statements are same as those followed by the company in its preparation of annual non-consolidated financial statements and are summarized below:


PROVISION OF INTELLIGENT SOLAR POWER SYSTEM FOR EPCT SCHOOL INCLUDING REPAIRS/ REPLACEMENT OF LT, UG CABLE AND PROVISION OF CERTAIN E/M MINOR/ REVENUE WORKS AT INS SHIVAJI LONAVLA
Normally contractors whose names are borne on the MES approved list, for the area in which the work lies and within whose financial category the estimated amount would fall my tender, but in case of term contract, contractors in categories „SS‟ to „E‟ may tender. In cases where the tender amount is in excess of the financial limit of the contractor whether or not the estimated amount was within the financial limit of the contractor. The Accepting Officer reserves the right accept of the tender in which event the tenderer would be required to lodge additional security deposit as the tender notified by the Accepting Officer in terms of conditions of contractors. Contractors whose names are borne on the MES approved list of any MES formations and who have deposited standing security bonds may also tender without depositing earnest money alongwith the tender and if the Accepting Officer proposes to accept the tender such tenderers would be required to deposit security deposit equal to the amount as indicated in para 4 sub para(b) below before acceptance of the tender. Not more than one tender will be submitted by one contractor or one firm of contractors.
