Kensington hurried home after hockey practice excited because she knew Luke was coming home after school and should he at their parents house by the time she got home from hockey.

Kensington pulled into the driveway and went up the front steps and quickly opened her front door smiling seeing Luke’s bag by the door and she could hear his voice in the living room.

Kensington walked into the living room seeing Luke and her mom sitting on the couch talking, she quickly walked over and jumped onto to Luke and hugged him tightly.

Luke grunted slighty at the weight but smiled once he noticed who it was, “Hi Sunny.” Luke smiled hugging his sister tightly and pressing a kiss to the side of her head.

“Hi Lulu.” Kensington whispered happily cuddling onto of her brother, Ellen smiled watching her two youngest missing the days their home was filled with all four of her kids but she also was so proud of all of them.

“How did you test go?” Luke softly questioned. Luke has always been the one who helped Kensington with her school and when he went to college she would facetime whenever she needed help.

“98%!” Kensington leaned up looking at Luke excited, she was really nervous for history exam she had this morning and spent most of the last night on facetime with Luke studying.

“Sunny! That’s amazing!” Luke smiled proudly he had no doubt she was going to do amazing on her test, “Ice cream?” Luke questioned.

Kensington and Luke have had their ice cream tradition since they were very young and Ellen would take them when they were in elementary school after doing a good job in school or having a rough day and once Luke could drive it was always just Luke and Kensington. Since Luke went to college they couldn’t get ice cream as much but whenever they see each other they also end up getting ice cream to make up for it.

“Yes!” Kensington nodded smiling. Luke laughed and let her get up and he got off the couch as well they both said bye to their mom and Luke hoped into his drivers seat and Kensington in the passenger seat.

Luke drove them to their favorite ice cream shop and they both smiled at the very familiar place and workers, Luke ordered his favorite chocolate soft serve and Kensington got the matcha soft serve.

They headed back to the car with their ice creams in hand and sat in the car chatting as that ate their icecream.

Kensington looked up from her laptop hearing a knock on her door, she set her laptop on the couch and walked to the door looking through the door hole seeing a delivery man, she opened the door.

“Kensington Hughes?” The delivery man asked and he got a nod in return, he handed the bag to her and walked away.

Kensington shut the door behind her and opened the bag smiling seeing two pints of her favorite ice creams and a note.

Good job sunny :)

She smiled softly shaking her head fondly at her brother. She was quite sad when she realized Luke and hers ice cream tradition would be basically over when she moved to Boston and him to New Jersey but Luke had started sending her ice cream instead.

E come potevamo noi cantare con il piede straniero sopra il cuore, fra i morti abbandonati nelle piazze sull'erba dura di ghiaccio, al lamento d'agnello dei fanciulli, all'urlo nero della madre che andava incontro al figlio crocifisso sul palo del telegrafo? Alle fronde dei salici, per voto, anche le nostre cetre erano appese, oscillavano lievi al triste vento. – Salvatore Quasimodo, Alle fronde dei salici (1946) [from Giorno dopo giorno (1947)]

Thermoelectric devices may solve overheating issues in shrinking transistors, researchers say

The electronics industry faces a new challenge. While transistors in computer chips are shrinking, the heat they produce is only increasing. Overheating can cause reduced circuit performance, increased leakage power or even the total breakdown of transistors. A team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University propose locally embedded thermoelectric devices (TEDs) that can perform active cooling inside circuits. The research is published in the journal Nature Communications. "Circuits like clock generators and arithmetic and logic units (ALU) create high-frequency heat fluxes with their peak hot spots occurring on the microprofessor," explained Feng Xiong, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at Pitt's Swanson School of Engineering. "Cooling systems at the chip size are over designed and a more targeted strategy is necessary to dissipate heat in these hot spots."
