SINGAPORE, June 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Courtney Kelly, the self-published author of Celeste Saves the City and Celeste Tunnels Underground, will partner with Singapore’s National Library Board and Alliance Française de Singapour for two special events on 14 June 2025.

The first event will be a STEM Story Time and Activity Session held at the Bishan Public Library’ s Activity Room from 2:00-2:30 PM. During the session, Courtney will lead a reading from her first book, Celeste Saves the City. Based on her life, the story follows a young girl growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, who is forced to evacuate from Hurricane Katrina. Determined to make a difference, Celeste decides to become a civil engineer and saves the city from flooding by protecting coastal wetlands using barrier islands. After the reading, attendees will be able to ask Courtney questions about the book and her career as a civil engineer. The session will end with a hands-on STEM activity as kids create their own barrier islands using building blocks. Registration is not required for this event. For more information, visit the event page at www.nlb.gov.sg

The second event will consist of an English-French bilingual story time reading of Celeste Saves the City followed by a presentation by Courtney Kelly where she will share her personal story and insights into the world of civil engineering. This event will take place at the Alliance Française de Singapour starting at 4:00 PM and coincides with the OCEAN exhibition currently on display. This exhibit is a new French Excellence Programme running through 30 August and encourages visitors to explore the mysteries and wonders of the ocean. Registration is requested but not required for this event. For more information, visit the event website at www.alliancefrancaise.org.sg

Branża materiałów budowlanych ostrzega przed rosnącym importem ze Wschodu. Rząd zapowiada działania w tym kierunku

Polscy przedstawiciele branży materiałów budowlanych są zaniepokojeni skalą importu wyrobów spoza Unii Europejskiej. Postępujące uzależnienie europejskiego rynku od dostaw z krajów o niższych standardach środowiskowych, pracowniczych i jakościowych skutkuje nie tylko osłabieniem jego konkurencyjności, spadkiem krajowej produkcji i redukcją miejsc pracy, ale również ucieczką emisji CO2. Branża apeluje więc o wprowadzenie zmian w zakresie handlu, w tym o wyrównanie stawek celnych na materiały budowlane. Rząd zapowiada podjęcie działań, które będą wspierać krajową branżę.

Rusza ważna inwestycja w Ustce. Nowa baza będzie zapleczem serwisowym dla morskich farm wiatrowych [AUDIO]

Wystartowały prace przy budowie bazy operacyjno-serwisowej w Ustce. Inwestycja będzie zapleczem dla obsługi morskiej farmy wiatrowej, którą PGE buduje na Bałtyku wraz z duńską firmą Ørsted. Uruchomienie Baltica 2 zaplanowane jest na 2027 rok. Baza ma także potencjał, by obsługiwać kolejne projekty morskie PGE. Będzie mieć znaczenie nie tylko dla rozwoju offshore w Polsce, lecz także dla samego regionu.

Handel

Rynek nieprzygotowany do wdrożenia systemu kaucyjnego. Może się opóźnić nawet o kilka miesięcy

Zdaniem przedstawicieli Polskiej Federacji Producentów Żywności Polska nie jest jeszcze przygotowana na wprowadzenie systemu kaucyjnego 1 października br. Za główny powód opóźnień podają brak licencji, które mogą powodować potężne straty finansowe. Eksperci wskazują, że system może ruszyć z kilkumiesięcznym opóźnieniem, co spowoduje chaos zarówno wśród konsumentów, jak i w handlu.
