The Color of Pain

Set between Belize and England, this novel delves into the complexities of family, love, and Garifuna cultural identity.

COOKSTOWN, NJ, UNITED STATES, April 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Melisa E. Arnold’s novel, "The Color of Pain," offers a semi-autobiographical narrative that traces the life of Alex, a young Garifuna boy from Dangriga, Belize. The story unfolds as Alex reunites with his mother, Cathlean, who returns from England with aspirations of social ascent by marrying a white British soldier. As the family relocates to England, Alex grapples with emotional neglect from his mother and finds solace in his stepfather's affection. A decade later, their return to Belize rekindles Alex's connection to his roots and introduces him to Sherrette, igniting a passionate relationship.

Arnold, a thrice-published poet originally from Dangriga Town, Belize, immigrated to Los Angeles in 1978. Her literary journey, marked by early successes in essay writing contests, culminates in this novel that intertwines personal experiences with broader themes of cultural identity and familial bonds. Through Alex's eyes, readers navigate the intricacies of love, ambition, and the enduring impact of one's heritage.

Critics have lauded this book for its heartfelt storytelling and cultural depth. Frank Palacio from Los Angeles describes it as "touching, heart-warming, informative, and funny," emphasizing its exploration of a young boy's complex relationship with his mother.

"The Color of Pain" is available for purchase in hardcover, paperback, and eBook formats on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Bankowość

Coraz mniej kredytów bankowych płynie do polskiej gospodarki. Przed sektorem duże wyzwania związane z finansowaniem strategicznych projektów

Polskie przedsiębiorstwa w coraz mniejszym stopniu finansują się kredytem bankowym, zwłaszcza w porównaniu z rosnącym PKB. Powoduje to wysoką nadpłynność sektora bankowego. Deregulacja mogłaby pomóc w skróceniu drogi firm do finansowania bankowego, zwłaszcza że Polskę czekają ogromne wydatki na transformację energetyczną i obronność. Sektor ma bardzo dobre wyniki finansowe, co powoduje, że politycy patrzą w stronę jego zysków. Ryzyko prawne, jakim wciąż są kredyty frankowe, pociąga za sobą brak zainteresowania ze strony zagranicznych inwestorów.

Bezrobocie może zacząć rosnąć. Ochłodzenie odczuwane szczególnie w branży budowlanej i automotive

W Polsce od kilku lat stopa bezrobocia utrzymuje się poniżej 6 proc., a według metodologii unijnej jest o połowę niższa i jedna z najniższych w Unii. Pracownicy przywykli już, że sytuacja na rynku pracy jest dla nich korzystna. Jednak zaczynają się pojawiać pierwsze niepokojące sygnały zwiastujące możliwą zmianę trendu. Część branż ucierpiała np. z powodu spowolnienia w Niemczech, inne rozważają wybór innej niż Polska lokalizacji ze względu na wysokie koszty pracy czy energii. Na razie ogromnym wyzwaniem pozostaje aktywizacja osób biernych zawodowo.

Ochrona środowiska

Rozwój sztucznej inteligencji drastycznie zwiększa zapotrzebowanie na energię. Rozwiązaniem są zrównoważone centra danych

Centra danych to jeden z dynamicznie rozwijających się, ale przy tym energochłonnych sektorów gospodarki. Prognozy PMR wskazują, że do 2030 roku operatorzy w Polsce będą dysponować centrami danych o mocy przekraczającej 500 MW, co oznacza, że wzrośnie ona ponad trzykrotnie względem 2024 roku. Przyspieszona cyfryzacja i dynamiczny rozwój sztucznej inteligencji sprawiają, że w ciągu kilku następnych lat zużycie energii elektrycznej w centrach danych tylko w Europie wzrośnie o 66 proc. Dlatego coraz więcej firm sięga po zrównoważone rozwiązania i energię pochodzącą ze źródeł odnawialnych.
