# 2016 PQ

2016 PQ is an approximately 20-meter sized asteroid and near-Earth object of the Apollo group, with one of the smallest known minimum orbital intersection distances with Earth.

## Discovery

The asteroid was discovered by the Pan-STARRS telescope on 2 August 2016, when it had reached magnitude 20.5, and it had brightened by magnitude 19.0 three nights later, after which it became too close to the Sun to spot with ground-based telescopes. It reached its closest approach to the Earth on 7 August 2016, at 0.025 AU, or 9.8 lunar distances.

## Orbit

2016 PQ orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.9–2.9 AU once every 2 years and 8 months (961 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.54 and an inclination of 3° with respect to the ecliptic.

### MOID

2016 PQ has a very small minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) to the Earth – only around 14,693 kilometres (9,130 miles), corresponding to 0.038 lunar distances or 2.3 Earth radii. It has the 19th lowest MOID of any known asteroid, as well as the 7th lowest MOID of any object larger than it (after (433953) 1997 XR2, 2006 QV$_{89}$, (85236) 1993 KH, 2013 TX68, 2014 DA, and 2004 FH).
Despite its very low MOID, it is not on the Sentry Risk Table, as it is not going to make any nearby close approaches to Earth in the near future. It is too small to be classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid.
# Thoscora acca

Thoscora acca is a moth of the Megalopygidae family. It was described by William Schaus in 1892. It is found in Guyana, Panama and Costa Rica.
The wingspan is 30 mm. The forewings are pinkish brown with a blackish median transverse line. The hindwings are roseate. The underside is roseate, with the apices of the forewings brownish. The head and thorax are brownish and the abdomen is red.

## Subspecies

* Thoscora acca acca
* Thoscora acca aterrima Hopp, 1930
# Those, Nepal

Those, Nepal is a village development committee in Ramechhap District in the Janakpur Zone of northeastern Nepal. At the time of the 1991 Nepal census it had a population of 2,283 people living in 490 individual households.
# 2016 CP31

2016 CP$_{31}$ is a small asteroid and Mars trojan orbiting near the L$_5$ point of Mars (60 degrees behind Mars on its orbit).

## Discovery, orbit and physical properties

2016 CP$_{31}$ was first observed on 7 February 2016 by the Catalina Sky Survey; the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope system at Haleakala had imaged this object on 14 January 2016 without identifying it as an asteroid. Its orbit is characterized by low eccentricity (0.059), moderate inclination (23.1°) and a semi-major axis of 1.52 AU. Upon discovery, it was classified as Mars-crosser by the Minor Planet Center. Its orbit is well determined as it is currently (January 2021) based on 131 observations with a data-arc span of 1652 days. 2016 CP$_{31}$ has an absolute magnitude of 19.5 which gives a characteristic diameter of 400 m.

## Mars trojan and orbital evolution

Recent calculations indicate that it is a stable L$_5$ Mars trojan. It may not be a member of the so-called Eureka family.

# List of brewing companies in Germany

This is a list of brewing companies in Germany. Beer plays a significant role in the German culture, and for many years, German beer was brewed in strict adherence to the Reinheitsgebot, a regulation that permitted only water, hops, yeast, and malt as beer ingredients. This law also stipulated that beers not exclusively using barley-malts, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented.
Since 1993, the brewing process has been regulated by the Provisional German Beer Law, which allows a broader range of ingredients and additives in top-fermenting beers. However, these additives must be completely removed, or at least as much as possible, from the final product.

# 2015 Honduran protests

The 2015 Honduran protests was mass protests and social demonstrations in Honduras consisting of nonviolent resistance rallies led by the grassroots opposition movement that began a street protest campaign against the government of Juan Orlando Hernandez after corruption scandals rocked the country in 2015.

## Protests

Strikes began on 29 May with protesters coming in their tens of thousands, protesting in a countywide movement against corruption. Anti-corruption marches was on the rise and rallies was taking place all across the country. Protesters waved red-white-red flags and chanted the national anthem, also saying Our Central American Spring, referring to the wave of protests in Central America.
Hundreds of thousands blocked streets and formed human chains, using nonviolent resistance demonstrations and formed protests across June–July demanding social reforms and the resignations of the entire cabinet of Juan Orlando Hernandez. Demonstrators also called on an investigation into the scandals. Protesters persisted the pot-banning protests and continued.
Protesters muted roads, used candlelight’s in solidarity with the 2015 Guatemalan protests and protested peacefully against the government. Anti-corruption pickets was also held by other cities nationwide, not only Tegucigalpa. Rallies raged on despite calls for an end to protest by Orlando. Social media also called on the movement to protest against corruption scandals in other countries, even though a trend of anti-corruption protests is rising.
Thousands participated in acts of nonviolent civil disobedience movement in the country as strikers saw worker protests and angry citizens joined the protesters. 25,000 protesters marched onto the presidential palace. The unprecedented wave of massive demonstrations and the largest protest movement in Honduras since 1980 saw no police actions.
Demonstrators participated in their last rallies in July–August which was still large, with 20,000 participants. Furious at corruption, demonstrators called on the government of Juan Orlando Hernandez and protesters waved torches and used candles despite furore over the government. Street protests had become smaller in late-August, being the last action of protest in the country in 2015.
# Tamar River Conservation Area

41°20′23.39″S 147°2′3.06″E﻿ / ﻿41.3398306°S 147.0341833°E﻿ / -41.3398306; 147.0341833
The Tamar Conservation Area covers approximately 4,633 ha on the Tamar River estuary in Tasmania. It includes the Tamar Island Wetlands Reserve and a stretches through the upper part of the Tamar Estuary from St Leonards to the Batman Bridge. It is a popular area for birdwatching and is about 15 minutes drive from Launceston. There are approximately 3.2 km of walking tracks at the wetlands including a boardwalk for easy access to the island.
The site lies within the Tamar Wetlands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance in supporting over 1% of the world populations of pied oystercatchers and chestnut teals. The Tasmanian State of the Environment report in 2003 described the Tamar estuary as one of the five catchments statewide with the highest percentage area under urban and suburban land use.

## Proposed pulp mill

In May 2007 both major political parties in Tasmania attempted to push through the development of a 1.5 billion dollar Bell Bay Pulp Mill on the eastern bank of the Tamar River by Gunns. Within the Tamar River Conservation area is proposed the construction of a large and associated warehouse and wharf as well as the insertion of a supply pipe to be 'jet trenched' into the bed of the River.

# Velvet (bus company)

Black Velvet Travel Limited, trading as Velvet, was an English bus company based in Eastleigh, that operated between November 2007 and January 2015.

## History

Velvet was established on 3 November 2007 by former Go South Coast director Phil Stockley, and in January 2008 began running a temporary shuttle for Tesco staff.
On 25 February 2008, Velvet took over the running of Red Rocket A in Eastleigh, which was given up by previous operator Solent Blue Line as part of their network restructuring. Velvet gained a number of contracts to run other routes, as well as many new commercial ventures.
Since the start of 2014, Velvet had been withdrawing or reducing services following what is described as 'a very difficult winter'. On 12 May 2014, Velvet surrendered the contract with Hampshire County Council to operate route 67 Winchester-West Meon-Petersfield, which moved on to Xelabus and Stagecoach South operation. All Barton Peveril College routes were transferred to Xelabus on 22 June 2014, along with the Eastleigh-Hedge End section of Velvet's A service. This followed the collapse of a deal in March 2014 which would have seen Xelabus take over the company.
On 16 July 2014, the company announced it had ceased trading, with other operators stepping in to cover its services. However two days later operations resumed, with the company announcing on Twitter that it had new owners. Founder and former managing director Phil Stockley commented that the company had not entered any formal insolvency process, and that he would no longer be involved in running Velvet. After operating the service for two weeks on an interim basis, Adam Smith purchased the business. Smith was convicted of possessing counterfeit money a month later, but avoided a prison sentence as jobs at Velvet depended upon him. Velvet's director Michael Bishop took over Cornish independent Western Greyhound in December 2014, with Smith becoming its managing director. On 10 January 2015, Velvet ceased operating, with the three remaining routes passing to Xelabus.

## Services

As of July 2014, Velvet operated six routes under contract to Eastleigh Borough Council. By November 2014 this had reduced to four.
