The planet, being called Kepler-1649c, was discovered by the team when they were looking through the data of previous observations from the Kepler telescope, which had been retired by NASA in 2018.

The less distance from Kepler 1649 c's host red-dwarf star, scientists believe, puts the exoplanet in the habitable zone where liquid water could exist on the world's surface.

The discovery was made by a group of astronomers led by the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy (UH IfA). The new plant was discovered after studying six years of data.

We have many legacy board designs which have non-standard films. I'm writing SKILL code to automatically align a board's film records with our internal standard.

While I'm sure there will be multiple questions, here are the first two I've run into:

1. It seems the polyCutLayer parameter of axlFilmCreate() doesn't work. You can easily see this for yourself. Try typing "axlFilmCreate("test" ?polyCutLayer nil)" on the command window in Allegro. I'm returned "nil", indicating the film could not be created, and I see "*WARNING* (axlFilmCreate): Invalid option type: ?polyCutLayer" in the command window. Just to try a different parameter and see that it works, try "axlFilmCreate("test" ?negative t)". I'm returned a "t" and the film is created. Page 139 of 17.4-2019 algroskill.pdf shows this parameter and I can see it listed if I inspect an existing from from the DB, so what gives? Is the polyCutLayer parameter broken when creating films?

2. In conjunction with the above, if I loop through all current films and use axlDeleteObject() to remove them all, and then try to create new films but give an argument to the polyCutLayer parameter, films containing copper layers seem to be automatically created. There are four films (my test board has four layers) with the ETCH/, PIN/, and VIA CLASS/ subclasses. I am able to manually delete all films and see absolutely no films at all. Is there something weird going on here or is this to be expected for some reason?

I'm running Allegro 17.4s002.

Last week, the Hawaiian Electric Companies began Hawai‘i’s largest procurement effort for renewable energy resources to end the use of coal and reduce reliance on imported oil for power generation, moving the state closer to its goal of using 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.

SOHAR deep-sea port and free-zone has signed a 600-hectare lease agreement with Shell Development Oman (SDO) for land to set up industrial and commercial solar panels. The port is managed in a joint-venture between the Port of Rotterdam and the Sultanate of Oman.

A report that examines statements about rolling blackouts made by regional grid operator ISO-New England, shows that sustained growth of renewables, and not more gas, will boost reliability of New England’s electric power system.

Marine hydrokinetics (MHK) company BioPower Systems (BPS) reports it deployed its 250 kW bioWAVE pilot demonstration unit, Dec. 16, in the Southern Ocean off the southeastern coast of Australia near Port Fairy, Victoria.
 

A significant step to develop the first megawatt from the marine hydrokinetic (MHK) Sotenas Wave Energy Plant off of Sweden’s west coast took place earlier this month when a 120-ton subsea generator switchgear was deployed and connected to the Swedish national power grid via a 10-km-long subsea cable.
 

More than a year after Prime Minister David Cameron publicly announced support for the Perpetuus Tidal Energy Center (PTEC), Great Britain’s Marine Management Organization (MMO) issued a license on April 20 to Royal HaskoningDHV to deploy and operate a proposed 30-MW tidal array at the center, located off the Isle of Wight.

The Brazilian government is seeking to award contracts in an auction tomorrow for natural gas- and coal-fueled power plants, reversing a drive that previously favored renewable-energy projects. It would lead to the first new thermal plants in three years, after the government scaled back such projects and awarded wind contracts starting in 2009 and solar energy earlier this year.

Such claims, based on internal reports four years ago, fall far from the truth, and are mainly based on conjectures and presumptions. The so-called 'Chinese espionage menace' is nothing new and has time and again been proven fictitious.

God’s Word is clear—believers are not to be given over to anxiety. But it’s not simply a cold, abrupt command to stop worrying. Scripture is clear that we shouldn’t focus on the plans, needs, and uncertainties of tomorrow, but it’s also clear about where our focus should be instead.
