The old method of collecting water resource fees in Shandong relied on a flat rate system based on water consumption volume. This approach did not provide any incentives for water users to save water or use it more efficiently. With the new tax reform, the calculation of water resource fees will be based on a tiered pricing system, where higher fees will be applied to excessive water usage. This change is expected to encourage individuals and businesses to be more mindful of their water consumption and take steps to reduce waste.Rising Cybersecurity Insurance Demands Create New Opportunities for Technology Service Providers, Says Info-Tech Research Group
This year, e-commerce giants such as Alibaba, JD.com, Amazon, and others have all revealed their plans to capitalize on the consumer frenzy surrounding "Double 12." From limited-time flash sales to interactive games and live streaming events, these platforms are pulling out all the stops to engage shoppers and drive sales.Expectations for Cavs guard Ty Jerome heading into this season were not necessarily sky-high. The former Virginia Cavalier suffered a knee injury last season and only played in two games. However, nearly 20 games into this season, Jerome is back to being one of the best bench players in the NBA. Cavs Guard Ty Jerome Making Case for Sixth Man of the Year Jerome was drafted in the 2019 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns. After stops in Oklahoma City and Golden State, the guard found himself in Cleveland. Jerome signed a two-year $5 million deal with the Cavs in the 2023 offseason. Jerome was poised to serve as the team’s backup point guard before injury struck. Jerome missed 80 of 82 games last season leaving his future in doubt. However, less than a year later, he is playing his best basketball. Jerome is averaging career highs in nearly every statistical category. Through 18 games, he is averaging 12.6 points, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. Most impressive, he is shooting far above expectation, Jerome is shooting 59.7% from the floor, 10th best in the NBA, and a league-leading 54.4% from behind the arc. Before this season, Jerome had only shot above 40% from three once in his career. Sixth Man Of The Year? Because of his stellar play, Jerome has helped the Cavs to a 17-1 record to open the season. But individually, Jerome is in the race for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award. Among bench players, Jerome is fifth in field goal percentage, despite taking at least three more shots than those above him. Additionally, his previously mentioned league-leading three-point percentage gives him a clear case. Jerome has started two games this season, due to injury. According to HoopsHype , Jerome is the favorite for the award. Jerome will face his stiffest competition from Celtics guard Payton Pritchard . Pritchard is averaging 14.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists so far this season. However, Pritchard is shooting 47.3% from the field and 42.6% from three, great numbers but significantly below Jerome. Ty Jerome is the Sixth Man of the Year (so far), per HoopsHype's Global Rating. pic.twitter.com/SzqgEWNOAA — HoopsHype (@hoopshype) November 25, 2024 Both guards have been very impactful for their team as both are off to hot starts this season. Last season, the award winner was Timberwolves big man Naz Reid . Reid averaged 13.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.7 stocks per game on 47.7% from the floor and 41.1% from three. Reid’s ability as a big man to stretch the floor while defending multiple positions made him a vital member of the Timberwolves team that made the Western Conference finals last season. Why Jerome? It feels inevitable that Jerome will eventually hit a shooting slump. The Cleveland guard is setting career-highs seemingly every night. He set his career-high for three-pointers made (seven) and points (29) last Wednesday, Nov. 20 against the Pelicans, breaking his previous career record that he set three days prior. Despite playing 19 minutes per game, Jerome is impacting the Cavs at a high level. Even when he hits his eventual shooting slump, his passing, defense, and leadership bring him immense value. Coming off a major injury, not many expected Jerome to have a breakout season. But, the former NCAA national champion is proving everyone wrong, helping the Cavs to the best record in the league. Though the season is just about a quarter of the way through, Ty Jerome is the Sixth Man of the Year. This article first appeared on Last Word On Sports and was syndicated with permission.
The Liberal government is pulling out the federal wallet to put more money into people’s pockets over the holidays, but its recently announced affordability measures create winners and losers. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Thursday that the federal government will remove the goods and services tax on a slew of items for two months, starting Dec. 14. But in provinces where the provincial and federal sales taxes are blended together into a harmonized sales tax, Canadians will get a larger break. The federal government also plans to send $250 cheques to Canadians who were working in 2023 and earned up to $150,000. That means Canadians who were not working in 2023, including those who were receiving social assistance or were in retirement, will not be sent a cheque in April. In the House of Commons on Friday, NDP MP Peter Julian called the government out for not including Canadians with fixed incomes. “Why are Liberals excluding seniors and people with disabilities from the real help they need this holiday season? Why won’t Liberals help them, too?” Julian asked during question period. At a news conference on Friday, Trudeau said that the federal government has already stepped up to help the most vulnerable Canadians and that it is now time to give a hand to workers. “Over the past number of years, we have been extraordinarily present in helping the most vulnerable Canadians,” Trudeau said, mentioning the boost to old-age security for seniors aged 75 and older and the Canada Child Benefit. “But as I travel across the country, I do regularly hear from working Canadians who are having trouble making ends meet, but saying, ‘look, I don’t have kids. I’m not a senior yet, and I’m facing challenges.’” The GST break, which is expected to cost the federal government $1.6 billion, will apply to a number of items including children’s clothing and shoes, toys, diapers, restaurant meals and beer and wine. It also applies to Christmas trees — both natural and artificial — along with a variety of snack foods and beverages, and video game consoles. Meanwhile, 18.7 million people will receive a check this spring, costing the government about $4.7 billion.As President Erdogan continues to champion the cause of Syrian reconstruction and refugee repatriation, Turkey stands poised to make a significant impact on the future of the region. By leveraging its resources, expertise, and diplomatic influence, Turkey has the potential to shape the trajectory of post-conflict Syria and to provide a model for effective and sustainable approaches to addressing the challenges of displacement and reconstruction.
FREDDY GRAY: Why Trump is looking to Britain as he plans to crack down on illegal migrants - as an example of how NOT to do it Follow DailyMail.com's politics live blog for all the latest news and updates By FREDDY GRAY Published: 23:31, 22 November 2024 | Updated: 23:50, 22 November 2024 e-mail 2 View comments Speak to anyone in Donald Trump ’s orbit and the message is clear: fixing the border is paramount. The incoming administration will stop at nothing to resolve the vast migrant crisis that has afflicted America under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris . And senior Team Trump members are looking at Britain, in particular, as a salutary lesson in how uncontrolled immigration can hobble a country. Elon Musk , aka Trump’s First Buddy, is especially interested in what he regards as the disastrous British experiment with multi-culturalism. As his outbursts on social media suggest, he was profoundly affected by the anti-immigration riots in Southport, as well as by Labour ’s attempts to clamp down on free speech in the aftermath. A Common’s select committee’s decision to ‘summon’ Musk for a parliamentary grilling on the subject this week has only added to the sense in Trumpworld that something is going badly wrong in what Musk calls ‘the Mother Country’. Musk promptly retaliated by saying UK MPs will be called to the US to ‘explain their censorship and threats to American citizens’. Republicans in Washington, meanwhile, have attacked Britain’s Online Safety Act as part of a ‘tsunami of censorship headed towards America’ and vowed that the incoming administration is ‘committed to confronting this growing threat’. JD Vance , the vice president-elect, has many British friends and does not appreciate Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner calling him ‘fruity’ for having suggested that the United Kingdom is ‘the first truly Islamist country that will get a nuclear weapon . . . especially since Labour just took over’. Fixing the problem that is the US border was a key campaign point for Donald Trump (pictured) Migrants take part in a caravan towards the border with the United States in Tapachula, Chiapas State, Mexico, on December 24, 2023 Immigrants keep warm by a fire at dawn after spending a night alongside the U.S.-Mexico border fence on December 22, 2022 in El Paso, Texas Even more importantly, Donald Trump himself shares Musk’s and Vance’s concern that the UK is not OK. ‘Musk’s affection for the UK is extraordinary,’ adds Nigel Farage, the Reform leader. ‘We’re very lucky to have these people coming in. In fact, throughout Trumpworld, from the big man down, the affection for our country runs deep. They are currently looking on with a sense of despair about what’s happening here.’ As the proud son of an even prouder Scotswoman, Trump is widely said to be troubled by the left-wing zealotry of Keir Starmer’s administration. He’s also determined to show the West that the world’s most powerful democracy can and will stop uncontrolled mass migration. Read More Trump threatens to unleash Elon Musk on rebel Republicans who refuse his Cabinet picks ‘We see that cultural cohesion in the UK has collapsed,’ says an immigration adviser at Trump’s Palm Beach estate in Mar-a-Lago. ‘We see that Western notions of free speech and public behaviour have collapsed. We look at that and we think: “Hmm . . . we don’t really want that for America.” ’ There’s even talk in Trump circles of taking over the British Conservative party’s Rwanda scheme, which Labour has abandoned, as a destination for migrants deported from America. But the incoming US administration is under no illusions that any ‘third-party option’ will make the immigration issue magically disappear. Under Joe Biden’s watch, the US has allowed up to ten million ‘aliens’ to enter the country, illegally. Trump knows he has been re-elected in large part because he explicitly promised to fix the broken border and remove masses of illegal migrants. Unlike the Labour Party, or indeed the Tories before them, he fully intends to deliver. Trump’s team is now assembling what it believes is a crack team of fierce border hawks to, as The Donald puts it, Make America Safe Again. Americans who were effectively dismissed as ‘far right’ only a few years ago are now being brought in to direct the effort at all levels of federal government. Elon Musk , aka Trump’s First Buddy, is especially interested in what he regards as the disastrous British experiment with multi-culturalism Trump knows he has been re-elected in large part because he explicitly promised to fix the broken border and remove masses of illegal migrants, writes Freddy Gray Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government have brought an end to Tories short-lived Rwanda policy Trump has named South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, to be his telegenic yet tough Secretary of Homeland Security. Noem’s political career appeared to be on its uppers earlier this year after she published a memoir in which she bizarrely confessed to having shot and killed a 14-month-old dog called Cricket in a gravel pit because the pet was ‘dangerous’ and ‘untrainable’. ‘I guess if I were a better politician I wouldn’t tell the story here,’ she wrote. Such overt political incorrectness is exactly what Donald Trump, who also happens to dislike dogs, is looking for when it comes to immigration control. And Noem will be ably supported from within the White House by Stephen Miller, another figure of hate in polite society for his hardline views, who is to be Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy. ‘You cannot conceive of a nation without a strong, secure border,’ Miller says. ‘It is fundamental and essential to the idea of sovereignty and national survival.’ Read More Major update in Donald Trump's hush money trial sentencing To do the even uglier work on the frontlines of the US immigration war, Trump has appointed the impressively thuggish figure of Tom Homan. He’s a former New York police officer who served in Trump’s first administration as acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ‘He’s a cop’s cop,’ says Todd Bensman, author of Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in US History. ‘He especially understands what’s happened in the past three years under Biden.’ Homan appeared this week on the podcast hosted by Donald Trump Jnr, the President-elect’s eldest child, and promised to implement a strategy of ‘shock and awe’. He said: ‘I’m getting a lot of negative press, but they simply don’t understand that I don’t care what they think of me. I’m going to do the job. Please keep screaming, keep yelling, coz I’m coming. And me and the president of the United States, we’re going to make this country safer.’ Homan boasts that the ‘best part of this job is that I’m guaranteed success because I’m following such utter failure’. On ‘day one’, he insists, the new administration will end ‘catch and release’ – the Biden policy of arresting illegal immigrants, then letting them go free. Trump has named South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (pictured), to be his telegenic yet tough Secretary of Homeland Security To do the even uglier work on the frontlines of the US immigration war, Trump has appointed the impressively thuggish figure of Tom Homan (pictured) Homan is a former New York police officer who served in Trump’s first administration as acting director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homan’s plan is to go after ‘the worst, first’. By this he means tracking down known criminals – including, according to official records, some 13,000 immigrants who have been convicted of homicide but somehow aren’t in jail – as well as the many foreign-born individuals ICE considers threats to national security. The next objective is to catch and expel ‘fugitives’ – the 1.2 million or so people who have ignored orders from the US government to leave. Joe Biden did, in fact, issue a number of executive orders to deter and remove illegal migrants but the Democrats in charge of homeland security conspicuously failed to implement his proposals. ‘Biden put in place some tools for solving the problem,’ says one source. ‘We’re going to actually use them.’ Read More Dana White makes shock political U-turn after backing Donald Trump in the election As a demonstration of his resolve, Trump is willing to go further than his predecessor and deploy the US Army or National Guard to carry out his orders. On his Truth Social platform this week, the president-elect confirmed that his administration will ‘use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion’. The Trump deportation programme also intends to tackle the further 10 million or so undocumented migrants within the United States. As Homan puts it, ‘If you are here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.’ If the rhetoric sounds brutal, that’s the point. Trump is playing mad-man politics: intimidating his opponents into believing he is crazy enough to do just about anything in order to push his agenda. ‘It’s everything the president does,’ says an insider. ‘What we’re seeing is the aggressive first phase of a Trump negotiation.’ The Trump administration knows that, in a country as large as America, tracking down and forcibly removing quite so many people will be near-impossible. On his Truth Social platform this week, the president-elect confirmed that his administration will ‘use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion’ The Trump deportation programme also intends to tackle the further 10 million or so undocumented migrants within the United States There was a global outcry over ICE agents separating migrant families and putting children in cages during Trump's last term– a policy that began, in fact, under President Obama The agenda is more to make the political, economic and social conditions so uncomfortable for non-US citizens, or those without visas, that many will ‘self-deport’. Trump’s Department of Commerce, led by the billionaire Howard Lutnik, will introduce tougher laws to stop businesses from using undocumented labour. US border officials, meanwhile, will deploy the ‘carrot not stick’ approach, making it clear to migrants that, if they depart the country they entered illegally, their chances of being granted asylum or citizenship in the future will not be harmed. Read More MAGA ally Kelly Loeffler emerges as the frontrunner for top role in Trump's Cabinet ‘It’s a silver buckshot, not a silver bullet approach,’ says a source. ‘We’re going to be doing a million things to try to establish facts on the ground.’ More realistic experts admit that the idea of some voluntary mass exodus is mostly wishful thinking. It’s also acknowledged that, in a country as large as America, any forced deportation drive will run up against insurmountable obstacles, even if Trump’s administration spends a trillion dollars trying. The big idea, rather, is that the very harshness of the action against illegal entrants will create a significant psychological barrier to those following their path. Insiders point to the first Trump term, when a dramatic drop-off in migrant numbers coincided with the global outcry over ICE agents separating migrant families and putting children in cages – a policy that began, in fact, under President Obama. For this reason, Team Trump 2.0 actually wants its opponents to howl about the inhumanity of its agenda: the more the media denounces the President as a racist xenophobe, the better. Mexico’s new leader Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who was elected on her pledge to smash the cartels, is seen as a crucial ally by the Trump administration The 2024 election showed that, even in the most migrant-heavy parts of the American south, Trump's anti-immigration platform has majority appeal The incoming administration will revive the ‘remain in Mexico’ policies of Trump’s first term, which pressured the Mexican government to quell the waves of migrants The people-smuggling gangs operating in Latin America will get the message that America is no longer a soft touch. And Trump is confident he has already won the political argument, having been re-elected on a promise to fix the border no matter what. It also helps that so many Latino voters now support Trump. The 2024 election showed that, even in the most migrant-heavy parts of the American south, his anti-immigration platform has majority appeal. The worry for Republicans looking to the 2028 election, in fact, is that the Democratic Party may finally have understood that the Biden-Harris administration has lost the debate. Noem, Miller and Homan believe their side now has the moral high ground. They point to evidence that the US government has, in recent years, ‘lost’ some 300,000 migrant children, many of whom have been drawn into drug dealing and the sex trade. Team Trump will also wage a popular war on the Mexican drug cartels, which run the people-trafficking business and whose fentanyl-smuggling operations result in tens of thousands of American dying each year. The incoming administration will revive the ‘remain in Mexico’ policies of Trump’s first term, which pressured the Mexican government to quell the waves of migrants. Mexico’s new leader Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, who was elected on her pledge to smash the cartels, is seen as a crucial ally on this front. She has been quick to establish cordial relations with Donald Trump since his victory. Last, though not least, comes the actual wall. Thanks to his real estate background, Trump is sensitive to the criticism that his first administration only ever erected a small section of the great barrier he promised to build across the southern border. For Trump 2.0, its completion will be their leader’s crowning achievement. ‘We gotta build the wall,’ says Homan. ‘The wall works.’ Nobody seems to care, this time, if Trump doesn’t make Mexico pay for it.

Former UFC star Dan Hardy believes Jon Jones’ ongoing dismissals of Tom Aspinall will result in long-term consequences. Jon Jones has repeatedly dismissed interim UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall , including in the immediate aftermath of his UFC 309 victory. After finishing Stipe Miocic and with a chance to call out Aspinall in his post-fight interview, Jones refused to acknowledge the cage-side Aspinall , although he hinted the door is open if he and the UFC can come to terms. Jones previously teased retirement but pivoted on that stance after his UFC 309 win. Jones, arguably the greatest UFC fighter of all time, has been mocked relentlessly by Aspinall and his fans in recent weeks for ‘ducking’ the matchup. But, Jones seemed to embrace this narrative in a post-UFC 309 social media update . Regardless, Jones continues to belittle Aspinall in favor of a potential super fight with Alex Pereira. UFC CEO Dana White isn’t interested in Jones vs. Pereira and is confident he can secure the Jones vs. Aspinall fight next year. A former UFC title challenger, and currently a top analyst, believes Jones’ ongoing Aspinall exclusions will come back to bite him. READ MORE: ’15 shots to the ear’... Michael Chandler addresses most controversial moment of rematch with Charles Oliveira Dan Hardy questions whether or not Jon Jones is world’s top heavyweight after Tom Aspinall belittling During a recent interview with Submission Radio , MMA analyst and former UFC fighter Dan Hardy analyzed Jones brushing aside Aspinall. “This is entirely me speaking as a fan, but I don’t think it was good for his brand to say those things about Tom,” Hardy said of Jones. “What I want for a champion in any division, especially the heavyweight champ, I want to hear them say ‘Any person, put them in front of me, and I’ll destroy them’. That’s what we would want the heavyweight champ to be, we’d want them to be this ultimate destroyer that is the scariest, most dominant person on the planet... “As soon as you hear that person say ‘I don’t want to fight this guy. Who is he? Is it worth my time? Me risking my legacy?’, that was very much a telling statement, I think...it just didn’t seem like a good look to me...maybe he’s not the best heavyweight!” Some, including Jones’ former rival Daniel Cormier, believe Aspinall is the legitimate heavyweight champion after UFC 309. Aspinall defended the interim heavyweight title during Jones’ recent injury recovery and Miocic booking, finishing Curtis Blaydes at UFC 304. READ MORE: Daniel Cormier responds to Bo Nickal’s scathing criticism of UFC 309 commentary Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall negotiations will be a hot topic in the coming months After his successful heavyweight title defense, Jones will meet with the UFC brass in hopes of coming to terms on a lucrative contract to return. Jones hasn’t ruled out potentially vacating the heavyweight title in exchange for the promotion granting him a clash with Pereira. Aspinall earned the interim UFC heavyweight title by knocking out Sergei Pavlovich last year at UFC 295. Jones was supposed to headline the card against Miocic before withdrawing due to injury, resulting in the last-second scramble to book the Aspinall vs. Pavlovich interim title bout. As of right now, the Jones vs. Aspinall fight remains in a holding pattern, unless the UFC brass offer Jones a deal he can’t refuse. But according to Hardy, Jones has already done some damage to his image after shunning Aspinall during UFC 309 fight week. READ MORE: ‘Just light’...

WORTHINGTON — Happy New Year! It may be hard to believe, but we are one-quarter of the way through the 21st century. Do you remember all the hullabaloo that accompanied the change of the millennium? A lot of the concern revolved around technology. In the early years of computing, programmers created a shortcut for calculating days and years. Unfortunately, that shortcut meant many computers and programs would not recognize the year 2000. They would make their calculations based on the year 1900. ADVERTISEMENT The fear as we approached the 21st century was that many systems that ran on computers would crash, possibly cutting off water, heat, electricity and other ‘necessary’ services. But gratefully, the fears did not come to fruition through the work of many computer engineers and programmers. There was great relief on Jan. 1, 2000, as we woke to find the power on, and almost everything was working fine. When we read the words of the Old Testament prophets, we encounter a similar pattern. The prophets, led by the Holy Spirit, announce that God will do a new thing. The people responded with denial and sometimes great fear. Will we have to change? Will we have to re-examine how we live and act toward one another and toward God? The short answer to both of those questions was “Yes.” However, the Hebrew people discovered that the changes God was asking them to make were not just necessary, but beneficial over time. They were better off than before they began. The first quarter of the 21st century has probably not turned out the way we thought it might. We still deal with technological change, some good, some not so good. Fears of cybercrime and terrorism still give us pause. Politicians still prey on our fears more than challenging or inspiring us to take risks. And some voices still raise the specter of a God of fire, brimstone and judgment. Yet, as we look over our history, we find we are better off than before, and God has been with us every moment, a comforting presence amid uncertainty. The good news we learn from scripture is that our future is not in fear, judgment, division and condemnation of others. The prophet Micah reminds us that God is not impressed when we try to bribe him with extravagant offerings of things such as money or sacrifices, or even our hard work. It is when we turn to God and show justice and kindness to the alien, the widow and the orphan. It is when we seek to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. It is when we share the extra coat and offer the loaf of bread. It is when, in the words of Micah, “we do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God” that we please God. As we embark on the second quarter of the 21st century, may we work to tear down the walls that divide us. May we strive to confront our fears with the assurances of God’s faithful leading and omnipotent hand. And may we carry this message of hope and trust in God’s guidance with us. ADVERTISEMENT May you know God’s presence and care this day and every day of the second quarter of the 21st century. Rev. Galen Smith is pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Worthington; First Presbyterian Church, Brewster; and First Presbyterian Church, Round Lake.
Ace Baldwin Jr. collected 23 points and 10 assists as Penn State topped visiting Penn 86-66 on Sunday in University Park, Pa. Yanic Konan Niederhauser chipped in 19 points and 15 rebounds as the Nittany Lions (11-2) ended the calendar year by winning their third straight game. Penn State shot just 4 of 18 from 3-point range, but the hosts authored a crisp 22-of-26 showing from the foul line, including 12 of 12 by Baldwin. Nick Kern added 13 points, while Puff Johnson and Fred Dilione V each contributed 11 points for the Nittany Lions. Michael Zanoni recorded 27 points for the Quakers (4-9), while Nick Spinoso pitched in with 13 points. Penn shot just 38.6 percent (22 of 57) from the floor and committed 17 turnovers, including nine by Spinoso. The Quakers were 11 of 12 from the free-throw line. Penn State led by two early in the second half when Konan Niederhauser and Dilione combined for all the offense in a 7-0 run that opened a 45-36 lead. With about 11 1/2 minutes left, AJ Levine's 3-pointer drew Penn within 51-44 before Penn State scored 16 of the next 18 points to end any chances of an upset. Johnson had a three-point play early in that sequence before he capped the run with a 3-pointer to make it 67-46 with 6:29 to play. Baldwin's two free throws with 3:02 left increased the lead to 25 for the first time. The Nittany Lions led by as many as 26 points down the stretch in improving to 8-0 at home. The first half was tight throughout, as neither team led by more than four points until Johnson's layup gave Penn State a 32-27 lead with 2:18 left in the half. Penn responded with buckets from Spinoso and Zanoni, but Konan Niederhauser's dunk in the final minute sent the Nittany Lions into the break with a 34-31 lead. The score remained close early in the second half. Spinoso's 3-pointer drew the Quakers within 38-36 with 17:40 remaining, but that was the end of the highlights for Penn. --Field Level Media
No-fault divorce laws: Some want to make divorce harder, but don't expect big, swift changesAs tempers flared, transit authorities were alerted to the situation and intervened to diffuse the conflict. The man was escorted off the train for further questioning, while the woman was asked to provide a statement regarding the incident. The incident reignited discussions on the boundaries of privacy in public spaces and the importance of respecting the rights and autonomy of individuals.
