The campaign, centered around the theme "Beyond Limits," culminated in the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra being launched 120,000 feet above the Earth, making it the first robot vacuum in space. When Roborock began searching for an agency to develop a video campaign around their hashtag, #BeyondLimits, Adcetera's creatives stepped in to develop a narrative that could bring those two words to life. The resulting social media campaign features three scientists frustrated by outdated cleaning tools. Their solution? Invent the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. After putting the vacuum through a series of "Beyond Limits" tests, the scientists take it one step further and launch it into space. The collaboration included partnering with Sent into Space, a UK-based company specializing in sending objects into the upper stratosphere. On September 17, 2024 , the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra successfully launched from Sheffield, UK , reaching 120,000 feet above Earth and enduring extreme temperatures, thus proving the product's endurance and innovation. The project involved building a unique laboratory set, sourcing talent and hundreds of props, a post-production that included multiple special effects, and coordinating an international space launch — all executed with precision to ensure the project stayed on schedule, within budget, and within scope. Stella Lin , Marketing Specialist at Roborock, praised the collaboration: "It was a pleasure collaborating with Adcetera on these projects. I believe they not only demonstrate Roborock's exceptional product quality and groundbreaking achievements, but also serve as a strong testament to Adcetera's professional expertise."

As the sun set on that eventful day, the students and the firefighter shared a sense of camaraderie and unity, bonded by their shared experience of overcoming adversity through teamwork and creativity. The incident served as a reminder that in moments of crisis, it is not just professional training or specialized equipment that saves the day, but the human capacity for innovation and compassion.Mohamed Farid, Chairperson of the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), held strategic meetings with Turkish financial organizations during the annual Emerging and Developing Markets Committee meetings of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) in Türkiye. These discussions emphasized opportunities for cooperation, partnership, and expertise sharing, with a focus on financial technology, environmental developments, and the role of financial markets in managing associated risks. As Chair of IOSCO’s Emerging and Developing Markets Committee and Vice President of the organization, Farid’s participation underscored Egypt’s commitment to advancing global financial market standards. The bilateral meetings, organized by the Egyptian Trade Representation Office in Istanbul in coordination with the Egyptian Embassy in Ankara, highlighted the significance of cross-institutional collaboration to promote development and showcase investment opportunities in Egypt. Prominent attendees included Fatma Cinar, Vice President of Turkey’s Union of Takaful Banks, alongside representatives from leading Turkish financial institutions and business associations. During the discussions, Cinar announced plans for the Union’s Secretary General to visit Egypt next month, aiming to strengthen ties with Egyptian financial institutions. Key topics included investment prospects in Egypt’s insurance sector, particularly under the newly introduced Unified Insurance Law. Farid emphasized the law’s potential to enhance the sector’s efficiency and competitiveness, fostering innovation in insurance products, integrating technological advancements, and attracting foreign investment. He highlighted that these efforts align with the FRA’s broader mission to support sustainable growth and improve access to non-banking financial services for all societal segments. Farid also met with representatives from organizations such as the Association of Independent Industrialists and Businessmen (MUSIAD), the FinTech Council, the Union of Chambers of Commerce of Turkey (TOBB), Albaraka Turk Bank, and the ISAS Group. These discussions underscored Egypt’s forward-looking regulatory environment, the pioneering voluntary carbon market, and the immense potential in the insurance and fintech sectors. Turkish institutions expressed significant interest in investing in Egypt, with plans to organize a business delegation’s visit to Egypt next year. Highlighting the voluntary carbon market, Farid described it as a groundbreaking initiative—the first to be regulated and supervised by financial market authorities—designed to support carbon neutrality goals and encourage private sector engagement in combating climate change. He noted that the market fosters sustainable finance products and strengthens the resilience of non-banking financial sectors against climate risks. Regarding financial technology, Farid underscored its transformative role in enhancing the accessibility and efficiency of non-banking financial services. He pointed out that fintech drives financial inclusion, competitiveness, and innovation, making it a cornerstone of modern financial ecosystems. Through these engagements, Farid reaffirmed the FRA’s dedication to fostering strategic partnerships, advancing sustainability practices, and leveraging technology to build a robust, inclusive, and forward-thinking financial sector.
Canada’s only Elevated Park is joining forces with other railway entities in St. Thomas. Seven years after the park opened on the former Michigan Central Rail Bridge, volunteers say it’s time for the next chapter and new leadership. Those behind the park have joined forces with the Railworks Coalition to help collaborate and grow. “We have a board structure and management and a bigger group of volunteers,” said Mat Janes, president of On Track St. Thomas, who manage the park. “Up to this point, it's been a small number of us that have been doing all the work. We hope to take advantage of Railworks standing in the community to bring some more people into the project as well.” The Railworks Coalition believes this is the natural next step, to unite all rail entities. “When this was all envisioned many years ago, it was to bring together all the rail, heritage and rail assets within St. Thomas and surrounding communities,” said Scott Sleightholm, president of Railworks Coalition. “Up until now, we have the Elgin County Railway Museum, CASO Station and BX Tower. When we were presented with the opportunity to bring in the Elevated Park, into the assets, I think it was a natural next step.” The park, which opened in 2017, recently received a boost from a local business. Entegrus has donated $10,000 to support enhancements. “What we're going to do is continue our tree planting program to the west of the bridge,” said Janes. “We call it the Arboretum Line because it's going to be all native trees identified. We're going to use it as an educational opportunity for people to learn about native trees. Then we'll also use it (the donation) for other improvements on the bridge, such as repairing the light sculpture.” It’s a partnership both parties believe will enable them to provide opportunities to attract new visitors, supporters, solidify the park’s impact on the region. “We've been expanding events at the CASO Station, the Elgin County Railway Museum, we can move to maybe bring back some more events and some different events over on the Elevated Park as well,” said Sleightholm. “We want to continue to push the rail heritage and the rail assets in St. Thomas-Elgin community.” Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

IOWA CITY — The Iowa women’s basketball team got back on track with an 84-63 win over Purdue on Sunday. The Hawkeyes (11-2, 1-1 Big Ten) outshot and outrebounded the Boilermakers (7-6, 0-2 Big Ten) to claim the blowout victory and the first conference victory for first-year head coach Jan Jensen. Iowa's Taylor Stremlow orchestrates the offense during an NCAA women's basketball game against Washington State in Iowa City at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday, Nov. 24. ETHAN PETRIK, Quad-City Times Despite the resounding victory, Jensen told the Hawkeye Radio Network that the team fell just shy of meeting a challenge she gave to them. “I secretly challenged them to hold them to 60,” Jensen said. “Then, we let up that three at the end, which we should not have done, but it was below their average, which we wanted to do. I thought it was a solid defensive game today. We could have even done a little better. ... But, overall, I am not going to complain too much because that was a pretty good effort.” Iowa won the battle on the glass 42-27 and shot 34-of-62 (54.8%) from the floor while holding Purdue to 25-of-61 (41%) from the floor. The Hawkeyes also recorded an assist on 21 of their 34 made field goals. Iowa built a 7-4 lead over the first two minutes before capitalizing on a Purdue shooting slump with an 18-5 run to close out the opening quarter, bookended by three-pointers from Taylor Stremlow and Teagan Mallegni. The Boilermakers went just 2-of-9 from the field over the final five minutes of the quarter as the Hawkeyes took a 27-13 lead into the second quarter. A similar 15-3 surge to close out the second quarter gave Iowa an 18-point, 50-32 lead at half. Stremlow led all players with nine points in the first half on 4-of-4 from the field. A 13-0 Purdue run in the third quarter allowed the Boilermakers to trim the gap to an eight-point 55-47 lead, but the Hawkeyes again closed the quarter on a scoring run, managing an 11-0 run of their own to lead 66-47 with one quarter to play. A back-and-forth fourth quarter ended with Iowa outscoring Purdue 18-16 to earn the 21-point victory. Addison O’Grady led the Hawkeyes with 12 points. Destini Lombard matched O’Grady with 12 points to lead the Boilermakers. Iowa returns to action on Wednesday with a road matchup against Penn State in University Park, Pennsylvania at noon. Broadcast coverage will be provided by Big Ten+ (subscription required). Iowa's Teagan Mallegni, left, gathers the ball before a layup attempt during an NCAA women's basketball game against Washington State in Iowa City at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Sunday, Nov. 24. ETHAN PETRIK, Quad-City Times Five freshmen saw action in Sunday’s win and painted an exciting picture for the future of the program. In addition to her nine points, Stremlow grabbed four rebounds, managed three steals and dished two assists in 19 minutes off the bench. Aaliyah Guyton scored nine points in 20 minutes. Ava Heiden scored nine points on 4-of-4 shooting and grabbed eight rebounds and picked up two blocks in 15 minutes of action. Teagan Mallegni finished with eight points and two rebounds in 12 minutes. Despite accounting for just 34.5% of Iowa’s minutes on Sunday, the freshman quintet represented 42% of points, 50% of blocks, 42% of steals and 36% of rebounds. During a postgame interview with the Hawkeye Radio Network, Mallegni described it as “so cool” to see the success of Iowa’s freshman class. “At one point, there was four of us out there at the same time,” Mallegni said. “So, it is just really fun. They are a great group of girls. I has been super fun to learn alongside (them).” Iowa's Ava Heiden, left, backs down her defender during a game against Toledo on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. ETHAN PETRIK, Quad-City Times As evidenced by the production of Iowa’s freshmen, the Hawkeyes beat the Boilermakers behind a whole team effort as 12 different players scored in the win. Of those dozen players, nine made more than one basket in the win while seven scored nine or more points in the win as O’Grady finished as the only player in double figures for Iowa. Sydney Affolter posted an impressive stat line with nine points, seven rebounds and six assists. Hannah Stuelke managed nine points and six boards while Lucy Olsen added six points, her first game below double figures as a Hawkeye, and six assists. While Iowa dominated on the glass, the Hawkeyes also found plenty of success scoring and defending in the paint. Iowa scored 48 points in the paint and 12 second-chance points, on 13 offensive rebounds, while limiting their opponents to just 22 points in the paint and just five second-chance points.

The documents, including a series of emails, written by Washington-based law firm Covington & Burling LLP outline the situation in which Kisaakye is living. “Justice Kisaakye continued to live in fear for her life based on reports of threats she continued to receive,” reads one of the documents. It adds Kisakye fled the country out of fear for her life and now lives in exile. The acquired materials added that in July 2023, Kisaakye received a report of an imminent threat to her life from her lawyer, which they had received from a person who identified himself as a member of one of the security agencies in Uganda. The materials received, addressed to several organizations including the Centre for Human Rights, International Bar Association Human Rights Institute, International Commission of Jurists, Lawyers for Lawyers, and the Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers, reveal ongoing efforts to raise awareness about Kisaakye's situation. The law firm is mobilizing support and coordinating initiatives to bring attention to her plight as a judge in exile who is facing retaliation for fulfilling her judicial responsibilities, with her safety still at risk. Kisaakye’s challenges date back to 2021 when she disagreed with eight justices over decisions related to the presidential election petition filed by former candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, also known as Bobi Wine challenging the election of President Yoweri Museveni for the sixth term. Kyagulanyi had sought the court’s permission to amend and also introduce new evidence to support his election petition. However, the eight justices, led by Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo, dismissed the application, citing the strict timelines for determining presidential election petitions, which, they argued, could not be amended. Kisaakye accused the chief justice of attempting to suppress her constitutional right to deliver a minority judgment in which she disagreed with the rest of the panel. She claimed her judgment was confiscated. Despite this, using a duplicate copy, Kisaakye delivered her minority judgment. With the lights and speakers switched off, she sat alone on the bench, as the eight other justices and the respondents’ lawyers had left the room. According to materials from Covington & Burling LLP, these events were followed by two and a half years of persecution, discrimination, and retaliation against Kisaakye by the chief justice and other Supreme court staff. The retaliation took different forms which included; removing her as an administrative judge, denying her any new work, removal of her research officer, denying of leave and medical benefits, and falsely accusing her of failure to write judgments in appeals when she was not a member of the coram or the designated judge to originate the lead judgments. In April 2021, the Uganda Judicial Service Commission initiated an inquiry into Kisaakye's conduct. Two months later, the permanent secretary of the judiciary suspended her salary and benefits for two and a half months, citing ongoing covert investigations by the Commission. By October 2022, after failing to resolve her issues through internal processes within the Ugandan judiciary and other relevant institutions, Kisaakye filed a petition in the Constitutional court. In her petition, she sought several declarations stating that the actions and omissions of five respondents—namely the chief justice of Uganda, the permanent secretary of the judiciary, the Judicial Service Commission, the attorney general, and the chief registrar and commissioner of Human Resources, violated her rights under Uganda's Constitution and undermined judicial independence. Despite her petition, the Judicial Service Commission continued its work, and in February 2023, it issued a report recommending that the President of Uganda establish a tribunal to investigate whether Kisaakye should be removed from office for alleged misconduct that occurred on March 18 and 19, 2021. As a lawyer, Kisaakye took action by filing another petition to quash the commission's report and to postpone the appointment of the tribunal until her initial petition was resolved. however, her case has never been granted any hearing dates. In the set of documents received by URN, it is indicated that; “Unofficially, Justice Kisaakye received information that the deputy chief justice, who will be retiring at the end of the year, is not willing to cause list her Petitions and applications, and that many judges at the Constitutional court were also not ready to hear her Petitions and applications either, because of the political sensitivities involved.” With more than seven years left on her term serving on the Supreme court bench, Kisaakye sought to bring an early end to her career by informing the appointing authority, the President, of her decision in a letter dated July 18. In her letter, she challenged the constitutionality of various administrative actions taken against her, including being investigated on allegations without the disclosure of specific offences, the freezing of her salary, and her removal as head of administration of the Supreme court. Kisaakye’s resignation came five months after the Judicial Service Commission recommended her removal from office due to alleged misconduct and a verbal confrontation with Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo regarding the 2021 presidential election petition. In response to her resignation and the letter from the Judicial Service Commission, President Museveni chose to reject her resignation. He stated that while he could not obstruct her wishes, her decision to resign would "preempt the work of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry or the tribunal." Kisaakye has also since filed another petition in the Supreme court challenging the legality of the president’s decision to stop her from taking early retirement. She noted that despite the refusal to accept her retirement, she has not been given any work in the judiciary since. “Whereas my early retirement was unconstitutionally denied by the President, I have also been denied any judicial work at the Supreme court and as a result, I have been kept in a state of being neither a serving justice nor as a retired justice of the Supreme court,” Kisaakye’s affidavit in support of her application reads in part. When contacted, Covington & Burling LLP, confirmed assisting Kisaakye with her advocacy efforts in promoting the rule of law, good governance, and judicial independence in Uganda and beyond. “In 2022 and 2023, Justice Kisaakye filed two constitutional petitions with the Constitutional Court of Uganda seeking to protect judicial independence and halt the Judicial Service Commission’s unconstitutional inquiry. Thus far, the Constitutional court has failed to follow its duties to hear constitutional cases expeditiously and in the order in which they have been received, as other cases filed after Justice Kisaakye’s have been adjudicated. We are aware that Justice Kisaakye has now filed a third constitutional petition seeking the Ugandan Government’s recognition of her retirement from the Supreme Court and the full payment of her retirement benefits,” an email signed by Amanda Reisinger from the law firm reads in part. The spokesperson of the Judiciary Ereemye Mawanda didn’t respond to our messages and phone calls to his known telephone. [loadposition inarticle}
