The "place" in Marra's book is a Siberian town north of the Arctic circle, Kirovsk, where nickel was mined and, as a consequence, pollution has been rife and its effects have accumulated over the years. Yet, after several generations there, the descendants of those shipped there because they were disloyal to Stalin (or perceived to be), people are reluctant to leave. Marra writes via the voice of a 30-something woman whose grandparents were exiled to Kirovsk by Stalin:
The layoffs began shortly after the first war in Chechnya ended. Automated machines mined nickel with greater efficiency than our husbands. Pensions vanished in the fluctuations of foreign stock exchanges. Even those who kept their jobs struggled. With the collapsing ruble, the payments of wages and pensions delayed for months, no one could afford the imported products that replaced familiar Soviet brands. We considered moving to a milder climate but couldn't manage relocation costs. Besides, our children were the fourth generation to call the Arctic home. This meant something even if we didn't know quite what.

The influx of fake broker agencies into forex,stock,binary,crypto trading has scared many from trading because of the fear of loosing their money. While this is justified, they are also missing out on the opportunities that abound with trading. I will only advice that traders ensure their broker agency is regulated before investment. They should invest only an amount they can afford to loose.

Good morning. I discussed in good detail yesterday the scenarios for this weekends storm system. I mentioned how this would either end up pulling north too early causing widespread rain or stay south and roll across the east causing more winter weather. At this time scenario two is becoming more likely but New England is the main target for a snowstorm.
