Vieneo's Southward Equinox
By LUCINDA SMITH - Thursday, January 30, 2251
The southward equinox on Vieneo occurred Friday. An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment the plane of the equator passes through the center of the sun's disk, which occurs twice each year. In other words, it is the point in which the center of the visible sun is directly over the equator.
The instants of the equinoxes are currently defined to occur when the ecliptic longitude of the sun is either 0° or 180°.
On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet. They are not exactly equal, however, due to the angular size of the sun and atmospheric refraction. The word is derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (equal) and nox (genitive noctis) (night).

Consumer Goods Commodity Slump
By ANGELA SMITH - Tuesday, January 21, 2251
Consumer Goods commodity prices are at their lowest price in over two years at 6623 CR/MT as of last month, fresh evidence that investors are betting on a downturn in the global economy after years of sluggish growth and scant inflation. Now, as signs of inflation and improving global demand have returned, investors are beginning to shy away from commodities. A sustained slump in commodities would likely signal unhealthy consumer and business demand.

Total Trade Volume Booming
By JAMES THILL - Thursday, January 23, 2251
At first glance, citizens will be pleased to know that Vieneo is enjoying a stock market boom. The volume of options traded on the future market has reached a dizzying 1000 MT which exceeds the record set over four years ago. We should all feel rich! However, on closer examination, the global economy shows signs of imbalance. Foodstuffs and consumer goods account for 90% of the market. Whereas, industrial products especially unrefined fuel ore, refined fuel and fabricated materials account for only 5% of the market. As we all know, Iagreous is the fundamental basis of our economy; without it we would not be here. So why the imbalance? Some could argue that the apparent shift towards consumers is the healthy sign of a maturing developed economy. Not so! In many respects Vieneo is still a frontier world. Sure, we now have a miriad colonies in addition to Deois but common sense suggests there are still vast tracts of unexplored territory waiting to be exploited for its valuable fuel ore. And some of that will be highly desirable rare. Do we have any brave adventurers willing to risk all to make a fortune? After all, we live in a meritocracy where hard work is rewarded. More to follow from your intrepid reporter.
