I know I've been rather lax about sharing some of my design projects at school and elsewhere. Recently, I update my portfolio because I'm actively looking for a summer internship in the Des Moines area. If you're interested, you can check it out here or from the Design link in the navigation bar.
In my spare time (which is not really that much right now), I'm working on redesigning this site and updating my personal branding. So, everything will be getting a fresh look some time this Spring.

Budaslottet (ungerska: Budavári Palota) är det slott som de ungerska kungarna i Budapest i Ungern färdigställde första gången 1265. Förr kallades det Kungliga palatset (ungerska: Királyi Palota) och Kungliga slottet (ungerska: Királyi Vár). Budaslottet uppfördes på Slottskullens sydspets, alldeles intill det gamla slottsdistriktet Várnegyed, vilket är berömt för sina medeltida barock- och 1800-talsbyggnader. Slottet ligger intill Adam Clarstorget och Kedjebron (ungerska: Széchenyi lánchíd) vid bergbanan till Budapests slottskulle.

Budaslottet är en del av världsarvet Budapest, som lades till världsarvslistan 1987.

Do we really comprehend sustainability?
.yDo we really comprehend sustainability?
"We are sustainable" is one of the current trendy phrases that can be heard in many prominent places from the halls of United Nations to the boardroom of Fortune 500. It seems that almost everyone from office workers to billionaires is talking about sustainability. Many piled on the bandwagon of sustainability or sustainable development, but what do they really know about sustainability? The United Nations just introduced the sustainable development goals (SDG) dealing with poverty, hunger, health, environment, etc. This sounds very optimistic, but all these targets might just remain ideas on paper without really understanding the essence of sustainability and relentless efforts to make it a reality.
Let's be clear about one thing -when we talk about sustainability we refer to self-preservation of humanity. The planet we live on did just fine for over four and half billions years without us and it will likely continue for another few billions long after we are gone. Thus, the emphasis should be not on Earth itself, but rather on preserving and improving it as our habitat in order to improve our well-being and secure our continuity as a species. In other words, sustainability should be an answer to the question: How do we, survive in the rapidly changing environment resulting from the uncontrollable consequences of our technological advances.
One of the many misconceptions of sustainability involves clichés such as saving polar bears, preserving indigenous cultures, or occasionally helping people living in slums. Many corporations exploit these distorted perceptions as a marketing opportunity by creating programs around what used be called corporate social responsibility. When you visit some CEO's office, they would be proud to show you a glossy high-resolution book of their employees smiling with underprivileged kids in developing country. It would be interesting to find out what is really involved in these projects after the photo-op is over. Sometimes, these enterprises are even incorporated into their corporate missions. This serves as an ethical veneer conveying a message of being a responsible global citizen. A skeptic would say, perhaps correctly, that impoverished individuals are being exploited as merely props and backdrops. This kind of practices is a perversion of the notion of sustainability.
In order to have a serious conversation about sustainability and find solutions, we must consider it in the context of saving human race as well as other forms of life with which we share our evolutionary journey. In essence: sustainability is not about preserving the Earth, it is about ensuring our survival on it. Naturally, our concern must not be limited to our own species; we need a habitat that includes animals, plants and a planet to survive and thrive.
Thus, we are facing a fundamental question: What do we care about when we talk about sustainability? We should be honest with ourselves and simply admit that in order to survive as a human race, we must do everything to save the environment we live in for the sake of us. This is not about global warming or climate change. It is about destroying our own future and letting it happen. We are getting used to dying species and trees, massive scale deforestation, and billions living in their own waste at the bottom of food chain while well-to-do people are enjoying hyper consumption.
This brings us back to the issue: How did we emerge as a consumption-based society? For decades we have engaged in making things without deeper reflection on how all materials will cycle back to nature. This core problem poses a serious existential threat to many species, and ultimately to us. Sadly, most notable politicians are too concerned with catering to their own constituencies rather than becoming visionary leaders willing to tackle the problem. Less than 30 % of global population consumes too much, produces too much, buys too much, and eat too much compare to the majority. This is a bad modus operandi that cannot sustain and eventually will bring everyone down. If we are looking at the next epic crisis, this is the perfect storm. And yet the problem is not taken seriously.
Keeping this in mind, how should we address the issue of sustainability? It is imperative that we change how we make, eat, grow, consume and discard things. We have to become truly sustainable, meaning we have to engage in a continuing process of refining and extending the life cycle of products, services, or environment to stimulate social and economic growth without depleting resources. This requires a great deal of creativity at the very stage of designing -thinking about how things we make could be reintegrated or reclaimed back to resources they came from. Let's create new economic opportunities around these new processes before it is too late.
As our consumption base increases this pending crisis will accelerate. The sooner we understand the damage we are doing to our future, the better chance we have to turn the environmental crisis around before it gets to the point of no return, provided we are not there already. Hume once famously wrote: "The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster." The world is not sensitive to our needs - things will be rolling on just the same way they did before we arrived and they will continue after our departure without anybody to enjoy it, to explore it, to inquire about it. We are alone responsible for securing our own survival and the survival of other species we share this planet with.
Following on from the previous show on consciousness hacking, this show discusses 'transformative technology', and the lab of the same name. The lab's mission is improving well-being but the potential toolkit is the same. Getting hands-on with the brain is a hot area, with advances in imaging making this a more exact, if still nascent, science. A surprising number of applications are already out there, from game-based tools to (neuro-)feedback devices to devices that directly influence the brain through direct or indirect electric or magnetic stimulation. Some will no doubt find such things disturbing but the story here is the lab, the community and their vision of a happier us.
In this essay, two futurists from different backgrounds, gender and status who only met online will tell two separate stories of the world set in the year 2115. The authors draw on both factual information and imagination to craft the narratives. Each of the stories addresses global challenges to the future of human survival. The stories are expressions of serious problems of the current and future world told in an amusing yet useful way.
This essay is a creative expression of personal images of the future set in 2115. Two futurists, who have only met online, explore possible futures for humanity in the next one hundred years. Each of the authors approach the project from different worldviews: East/West, Male/Female, Student/Teacher. The time horizon of one hundred years is the only common thread, aside from an agreed-upon checklist of global challenges, but otherwise there has been no collaborative effort to tell the stories. The project's primary purpose is to allow those who teach and study foresight to capture and reflect on creatively-generated personal future scenarios.
In this essay, storytelling is the only purpose. This purpose is seen as opposed to the typical futures project that aims to synthesize hours of research and mountains of reference material. We hope to show that individuals who are well-versed in material and information about the future (i.e., students and teachers of futures studies/foresight) can tell valuable stories about the future by allowing creativity to lead the way.
.and think how hard life must have been back in the days before so many of the common diseases were cured.
Skimming through the long history, a detail jumped out that she never recalled seeing before: she was a descendent of General Sam Houston! The famous name took her back to being a schoolgirl in Texas, learning about General Houston, a historical figure well-known in the 1800's and closely associated with Texans' famous freedom. She ironically noted how her home was no longer Texas, but instead the New Texas Settlements. Texans had been driven out of state (north, of all places) by the unlivable conditions, not free will. What would Sam Houston say about that?
Leaving was not her preference, but there was little choice at the time given the pressing climate and economic conditions. Drought and unbearable UV exposures pushed her young family out of the region more than fifty years ago, in 2060. When she left she had no idea that she was severing a long link to Texas history. The oil industry had collapsed, and that was it. The end of a chapter in history.
. The protesters ended up in jails, separated from their loved ones and tried as ecological criminals. It wasn't worth risking her family to fight, but it certainly created a revolution inside of her that made her feel that she had betrayed her past. This new finding brought the feelings back and many memories of what it was like before 2050, before the crisis, began to surface.
There were many obvious reasons for the pain and loss leaving her homeland had brought her, including the fact that she grew up there-now she became awash in sentimentality. Alma suddenly sensed her digital memories image albums in her Personal Optical Implant orienting to view the past as it was emotionally being called up in her mind. She remembered the old Tejano music her mother used to listen to while driving (back then they drove around in cars all the time). The music was now called up, too, overloading her senses with memories. She switched off her artificial senses and manually recalled the large family SUV navigating through the sprawling city streets and tears came to her eyes, knowing that was a way of life that was never coming back.
did her mom have any clue about their famous family tree? Next time she was visiting with her mother through the Super-Conscious Communication Device she would be sure to ask. (Her mother had had a stroke in 2062, but like most of her generation, still converses with family members from a suspended vegetation state using an implant that detects linguistic patterns in active brain waves.) Good thing life-extensions were easy to use and obtain now. It was once prohibitively expensive to live so long, but now, "Death: It's Optional,"
at least according to the popular advertisements.
So she knew she would probably be around for a long time to share this news with her children, if they should ask. Not that there is any reason to ask, since a person is in no way the most valid or desirable source of information in 2115. Computer brains are much more reliable. Still, Alma wanted to have an explanation ready for future generations. A chronology began forming in her mind, and she allowed her mind recorder to begin archiving the thoughts.
The memories she recalled first were from the early 2020's, the time of her girlhood in Texas, where big oil was extracting the remaining shreds of petroleum prosperity. Fossil fuels were having their last big economic boom. The industry was healthy, paying her father a generous white-collar salary at one of the big companies headquartered in Texas. They lived in a spacious house when she was small, with more than enough bedrooms and lots of air conditioning. There were sincere gestures to be more "green" back then-water conserving lawn-watering schedules and recycling bins were sacred to the modern families in their plush neighborhood. Little did they know that the small efforts would add up to almost nothing to save the state from the ecological crisis when it hit in 2050.
The modern world was thriving technologically, but income inequality was starting to become a noticeable source of social instability. The standard of living managed to rise across the board, nonetheless. Wealth rose, but the low-income majority did not increase their share. So poor people were more poor in every country, while the already well-off became rich, the rich became super wealthy, and so forth. This meant that distinct pockets in developed countries were feeling more like developing nations, although at the same time developing societies as a whole were substantially better off than they were twenty years prior.
Internet and communications technologies became a strong force for education and job preparation across the developing world. Women's rights were continuing to spread and gain strength. The formerly struggling parts of the world were starting to catch up to first world standards by 2020. However, all the growth and technology came at a price. There were negative effects on environment and health emanating from all the world's nations and suddenly. The ones who noticed began to organize, but they were the minority.
Needless to say, human activities continued on this path because the short-term benefits (well-paid jobs, financial security, cheap technology and energy) were too good to pass up. In 2115, students are taught of this as the "Golden Kamikaze" era of world history before the crisis: an expensive suicide that all nations of the world brought on together.
Sensitive people in the world became more attuned to the downfall of large-scale growth that idolized capitalism, wealth and speed at any cost. Technology illness began to appear in forms of psychological, neurological and chemical problems in the human population. Negative health effects from profuse wifi exposure were easily dismissed since the 2020s, but the evidence was starting to support fringe beliefs about the danger of wireless signals.
It wasn't just wireless, but the byproducts of a globe hooked on technology became increasingly toxic. The poisons used to make the gadgets, and their waste products, were becoming too much for the earth to bear. Not just that, but there was more illness related to manufacturing spots. Soon, it was seen as a death sentence to work in a high-tech factory job. Or to live near one. Attitudes were changing.
The illnesses were made worse by the loss of antibiotic medicine. The new diseases required new medicines, but the accompanying infections of lungs, eyes, ears, skin were the same old biology. Except the human population had become so dependent on antibacterial soaps and antibiotic drugs that they no longer worked well, and these formerly simple threats were becoming as dangerous as the diseases themselves. By the 2030's the symptoms could no longer be ignored: the world was out of balance and human survival was perilous.
This new reality resulted in a curious group of young scientists to form a new research consortium to explore solutions for the "post-antibiotic" world. They would later become the medical branch of the New Science movement, which eventually developed the life-extending technologies and made death optional.
Climate change was becoming so severe that seasons were unknown to most born after 2025 and weather patterns could shift suddenly. Energy costs were low, but water systems began to fail, and poisoned water sources created distress and displacement-the ecological refugee was a common issue in almost every nation that had used natural gas fracking at the start of the century. After enough damage, the practice was stopped. The cost to society was too high.
For instance, most people began to use clothing to protect them from the elements in more practical ways, and fashion became much less relevant with the blanket of pessimism that couldn't be kicked. No one seemed sad that a way of life was dying, just eager to get past the pains and start again.
Fossil fuels officially crashed in the early 2040s. Policy devised by the high tech New Science artificial intelligence raised the stakes to the point that it became prohibitively expensive for private companies to extract nonrenewable natural resources; the costs to cover environmental risks, costs of ecological displacement of people, taxes to pay for illnesses to future generations, and stiff penalties for accidents and damages-all these costs were passed on to the oil companies, whose business model had become unprofitable and unpopular. The last oil company closed their doors in this decade, while green energy thrived to take its place.
The benefits of a healthy environment were quickly revealed. The New Science was at the forefront of this contemporary understanding of the human species as networked to nature in ways that prior generations of scientists didn't see. There was a strong and clear connection between social organization for subsistence and ecosystems of the planet than previously known, and it was now common sense to know that symptoms of suffering or distortion in the other natural systems were sources feeding distress to the human settlements. Most people now agreed on two things: that 2050 was the crisis point, and that a change had to come. A self-destructive way of life had given way to harmony between man and nature.
The New Science AI was effective at revealing the link of human to ecosystem, and showing how if parts are healed, the whole gets better. The AI was high technology enhanced with human and organic elements. It was just as "natural" as a person, since its biological origins were human, but used decision making sciences with complicated formulas and calculations beyond human comprehension. It could not just learn, but also teach. It could also replicate itself, but was not predatory. It was a smart AI, actually smarter than humans, because it inherently understood the threats posed by its own existence, and had safeguards to protect life at all costs. It had memories, so that the next generation was always even brighter than the last, building on knowledge from the past. This aspect fed into later New Science theories popularized in the 2090's, and explored the role of consciousness in the genetic and biological material that is passed from one generation to the next. This thinking arrived just in time, still at the fringes, but penetrating the mainstream culture with a positive worldview that would allow us to survive the crisis of 2050.
to decide to seem to go against its own nature, for nature. Societies had to learn how to accept facts that before seemed to threaten their survival. The weaker societies were absorbed by those that had already a predisposition to sustainable long-term decision-making. This meant capitalism was eliminated, because of many layers of danger to stability and sustainability (social, environmental and economic) that it inherently threatened.
It was a non-violent shift. Violence was seen as counterproductive, though plenty of hatred still existed. The New Science AI took over for political or cultural systems of controlling social unrest, which meant that the government no longer guided policy directions, much less determined individuals' innocence, guilt or good or bad citizenship. Technology replaced the human errors of decision-making. Surveillance became thoroughly implemented for survival on the weak (but reviving) planet. People didn't really choose much of anything for themselves anymore, instead data and evidence were the basis for most decisions. It was completely unlike the lifestyle she grew up with, where individuality and freedom were valued most. Now, a utilitarian world view took control dictated by artificial intelligence, so that humans were unable to make the bad choices that had brought on the crisis.
but this was just wishful thinking. Now there was just the future.

yet sufficiently explicative to embrace the idea of a major project that marries tradition and innovation, art and technology,and which justifies the founding of a Museum.
Castelbosco, Gianantonio Locatelli's farm, is a place of interest, innovation and research, and an experience to be shared: a Museum. Locatelli's intuition of reusing the organic waste from his own farm to produce methane, as well as material for bricks and plaster, led to the implementation of a cutting-edge ecological project.
The idea of reuse has always gone hand in hand with the agricultural world. In this case, it is manure which is transformed into other elements, thus producing innovation. Here, poop is precious, for it is the basis nourishing information and cultural enrichment, as well as being the main theme and substance from which the Museum takes its name.
A new idea of a Museum thus comes about in which scientific research, technology, art and production join forces to stimulate interest at various levels: Castelbosco constitutes a stimulating place for all those interested in the farming of food crops, history, art or issues connected to ecology.
The Museum starts from the outside, on the farm itself, and it is here that the value of the project is reflected in the interventions of artists such as David Tremlett and Anne & Patrick Poirier. These works coordinate the space, stimulate reflections and amplify the conceptual, metaphorical and productive vision which lies at the heart of the Castelbosco farm.
Responding to sounds harvested from YBCA's interior space and the Yerba Buena Garden and nearby city street noise, this site-specific artwork activates the south facing glass façade of the Grand Lobby with playful patterns of light reminiscent of a swarm of flying birds.
During the day, filtered sunlight produces ever-changing flickers of light and shadow, while in the evening the façade is transformed into a dynamic electro-luminescent composition that electrifies the glass wall. Sound sensing spiders, attached directly to individual glass panels in the Grand Lobby, transform the facade into what the artists call "urban sensors .-instruments to sense the city, visualize its auditory pulse, and amplify its latent energies into cascades of light." Real-time data collected from these audio sensors drive the direction and color of the swarming algorithm, which generates patterns of streaming light. The result is an artificially intelligent façade: a smart surface that can sense, compute, respond, and interact with its surroundings.
Lightswarm's unique suspended light modules individually change their intensity and color. Each module was created from 3D printed components, custom electronic elements, addressable LED strips, and laser-cut skins made out of recyclable PET plastic and synthetic paper. This work is an exemplary display of Future Cities Lab's interest in liminal spaces and location, as the glass wall allows for multiple views and perspectives on this ever-changing installation.
For McDonough and Braungart, the questions of resource scarcity and sustainability are questions of design. They are practical-minded visionaries: They envision beneficial designs of products, buildings, and business practices - and they show us these ideas being put to use around the world as everyday objects like chairs, cars, and factories are being reimagined not just to sustain life on the planet but to grow it. It is an eye-opening, inspiring tour of our green future as it unfolds in front of us.
The Upcycle is as ambitious as such classics as Rachel Carson's Silent Spring - but its mission is very different. McDonough and Braungart want to turn on its head our very understanding of the human role on earth: Instead of protecting the planet from human impact, why not redesign our activity to improve the environment? We can have a beneficial, sustainable footprint. Abundance for all. The goal is within our reach.

Q: Provide one of object types in typescript If I type the following:
interface A {
    x: number
}
interface B {
    y: number
}

type Z = A | B;

// here it allows me to create a variable of type Z with both members of type A and B.
let z: Z = {
    x: 5,
    y: 6,
}

I'm not able to ensure that object of type Z does contain all members of A but does not contain members of B (or the opposite). Is it possible at all with TypeScript? After much research I'm leaning to the "no" answer but I'm not sure.

A: By default unions merge all options offered into one, but there are two options for you. What you want exactly is not available in TypeScript, but there are similar issues in the TS project's list (status: "open" at this time) as well as two good workarounds.
One option is not available: At this time there are no exact types in TypeScript (unlike in Flow). There is TS issue #12936 "Exact Types"  that right now still is open.
There is another issue/proposal in TS's list of open issues that asks exactly for what your question is about: #14094 "Proposal: Allow exclusive unions using logical or (^) operator between types"
You can use these workarounds:
Option #1
In TypeScript as well as in Flow you can use tagged types to created an XOR union instead of an OR one.
interface A {
    kind: 'A',
    x: number
}
interface B {
    kind: 'B',
    y: number
}

type Z = A | B;

// here it DOES NOT allow to create a variable of type Z with both members of type A and B.
let z: Z = {
    kind: 'A',
    x: 5
    // y: 6 will produce an error
}

*

*TS documentation on Discriminated Unions

*Blog post about tagged union types introduced in TS 2.0 (link).
Option #2
The second option is to set all properties on all types, but set those that are not supposed to exist to undefined:
interface A {
    x: number,
    y?: undefined
}
interface B {
    x?: undefined,
    y: number
}

type Z = A | B;

let z: Z = {
    y: 5
    // y: 6 will produce an error
}

For the record, in Facebook's type system Flow you can solve the problem by using a disjoint union  (XOR) instead of just a union (OR) or by using exact object types or as for TS above setting the undesirable property to undefined. I made a Flow demo with your example (link). In this case the code is the same for Flow as for TS.

The financial habits of the Modern Family
The financial habits of the family that belongs to the future.
Let's face it – the 50s were a long time ago, a lot has changed and happened since then. Nowadays, men and women work side by side, and the picture of the modern family (not the one of Sofia Vergara and Ed O'Neill) is much different than the one of the past.
The millennials (1981-1996), the generation that welcomed technology and transformed the way we live, have definitely carved their way into this world and changed some of the golden standards set by the generation of the baby-boomers (1946-1964).
Let's take a look at the modern way of family financing.
1. Utilities, rent, mortgage…
If you're thinking of joint accounts, you are on the right path. However, this hasn't always been the case. Keep in mind that we are not talking about a joint savings account, but about a joint utility bill account. The account in which each contributes to equally, in order to cover monthly expenses such as utility bills, mortgages, rent, car lease (if it's the family car), and others. Purchases of any other kind are most likely bought and paid for separately.
2. Privacy issues
It's 2020, and even though millennials showcase a big part of their lives on social media, they are also the ones that are constantly concerned about their privacy. This time we are not referring to cybersecurity, but the personal privacy one wants to have when it comes to his or her earnings. The difference in how much one makes yearly, can strain some relationships and create room for unwanted stress. This is why more and more young families prefer to keep separate bank accounts and pay equally only for their common expenses, even though they live together.
3. Lust for freedom
Financial independence is something most of us strive for, ever since we get our first job. This financial independence is hard to reach and extremely hard to keep. The generation of the millennials knows that and surely works super hard to achieve it. The modern family keeps clear boundaries about what belongs to the joint account and what to the personal savings account.
4. Rely on yourself
The generation of the baby-boomers may be the one to entirely rely on the government to take care of them when they retire. Millennials, however, plan to do no such thing. Young people have an entirely different mindset when it comes to how they will live their lives. This new mindset includes a brand-new retirement plan as well. This generation will most likely rely on themselves. Most young people that have a steady job or excel in their careers are holding on to a solid savings account and even plan on expanding with different investments. If you think that millennials spend more than their preceding generations, well…you will be right. But this generation also has the opportunity to take full advantage of the internet and earn income from more than one source.
A lot has changed in the past 50-60 years and in the habits of the family created by the generation of the baby boomers. The millennials "set the table" for a different way of communicating, working, earning, spending, etc. One can only wonder how Generation Z (1997- present) will contribute to the life of the "modern family."

In the 1900s only a few thousand people in France actually owned а car. Therefore, in order to sell tires Michelin's salesmen had to travel across the country. Meanwhile, they would begin rating (from 1 to 3 stars) restaurants and hotels they have been at while traveling.
Budgeting Living as a freelancer – how to budget?
Living as a freelancer requires a lot of discipline and planning. It is not about free time, it is about freeing up time.
The most common mistake that individuals make is to think that freelancers have it better and that they have more free time or more freedom on their hands.

My name is Hailey and I am a PADI DiveMaster. I am originally from Navarre, FL but moved around a lot growing up since my dad was a pilot in the Air Force. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelors degree in Natural Resource Conservation. I started diving in November 2015 and fell in love with the sport so much that I continued my dive education and became a PADI professional. I love traveling and diving in new locations whenever possible, but I am very excited to start my new adventure here in Key Largo working with Rainbow Reef and spreading my love for the ocean and diving!


Dem convention, night four: Lock! Her! Up!
Considering what the polls look like this week, I bet a lot of Democrats wish the DOJ had locked her up awhile back, clearing the way for Uncle Joe. Ah well. There's still time for her to save her party tonight by graciously standing aside and letting them nominate him instead. America first!
Expectations are so low for this speech, especially on the heels of Obama's barnburner yesterday, that she almost can't fail to overperform — yet she'll fail anyway. That's Hillary the politician in a nutshell. She won't be notably bad, she certainly won't be great, she'll just be … there. She's the mediocre sitcom from your youth that you're forever stumbling across while channel surfing. Sometimes you leave it on, not because it's good but because it's familiar. Do Americans in the mood for radical change want to watch reruns for four years, if only because what's on the other channel is simply too whacked-out? We'll known soon.
Like Trump, she'll be introduced by her daughter in order to "humanize" her. I think that's a minor mistake, and not just because it's folly to think you're going to get someone to see Hillary as human after 25 years if they don't see her that way already. What she needs is enhancement of her authority. Some voters will have trouble seeing her as commander-in-chief simply because she's a woman. Having a powerful defense figure like, say, Bob Gates or Admiral Stavridis to signal that he respects her — and trusts her, notwithstanding her e-mail fiasco — by introducing her would help. Rolling Chelsea out for the maternal feelz doesn't do anything for anyone who wasn't inclined to vote for Hillary already.
Here's your Twitter widget for real-time commentary tonight. Trump is urging his supporters not to watch, ostensibly because he doesn't want you exposed to lies, lies, lies but in reality because he can't bear the thought of a dial tone like Hillary getting better ratings for her speech than he got for his. I'm going to quadruple down on my prediction: No convention bounce for HRC. And if I'm wrong and there is one, it'll be modest and fleeting. You already know all the punchlines in this rerun, remember? Or almost all of them. Some lefty group is reportedly planning to make an, ahem, citizen's arrest of Hillary tonight. Stay tuned.

AI staff integration to start in 45 days
BY PTI2 Jun 2012 11:33 PM GMT
PTI2 Jun 2012 11:33 PM GMT
Five years after merger of two state-run airlines, the government on Friday announced that implementation of uniform structures for pay, allowances and career progression for Air India (AI) employees would start in 45 days, saying it was necessary if the airline is to survive.
'[Employees' integration] is necessary if merger [of Air India] has to succeed, if Air India has to survive. The government is giving Rs 30,000 crore ... one thing is clear. Government will not give public money any more to Air India,' civil aviation minister Ajit Singh said.
He also asked the striking pilots that their demands relating to their career progression can be examined only after they returned to work. 'They should unilaterally call off their strike. The [Delhi] High Court has also said the same thing. It is an illegal strike. We will consider all their demands after they join back,' Singh said.
Announcing a roadmap for implementation of the Justice D M Dharmadhikari Committee recommendations on HR integration of the employees of erstwhile Air India and Indian Airlines, he said there would be parity in pay scales and uniform working conditions for all staffers. The airlines were merged in 2007.
However, the pay scales and allowance structure for pilots, engineers, cabin crew and technicians would be determined on the basis of industry norms. A panel of officials has been set up for implementation of various recommendations on pay fixation, level-mapping of all employees and their promotional avenues.

HISTORIAN OF SCIENCE
Judith R. Goodstein
Einstein's Italian Mathematicians:
Ricci, Levi-Civita, and the Birth of General Relativity
In fin de siècle Padua, a cosmopolitan university town, Gregorio Ricci
Curbastro has spent nearly a decade painstakingly working on the
subject he called the absolute differential calculus, now known as tensor calculus.
The work will ultimately rank as one of the preeminent mathematical achievements of the late 19th century, but for Ricci it has come at the cost of repeated professional and academic setbacks. Colleagues call
his algorithms useful, but not indispensable.
Now, together with his colleague Tullio Levi-Civita, best known for his work on the absolute calculus and the prominent role it played in Einstein's formulation of the general theory of relativity, they are putting finishing touches on a definitive seminal paper on Ricci's absolute calculus.
Reviews & Endorsements
"The author is an outstanding specialist for the history of the absolute differential calculus and the main propagators Gregorio Ricci and Tullio Levi-Civita. Though it is not mentioned in this book, she looks back on a long publication list...This book is a special one and should be well recognized...The book can be highly recommended to all historians who are interested in the history of general relativity and its origin."
- - Karin Reich, Zentralblatt MATH
"In the hands of a gifted author, a history can read like a novel."
- J. Johnson, CHOICE
"A wonderfully written chronicle of the lives of two great mathematicians and how their work shaped Einstein's masterpiece as well as ushering in new fields of mathematics. The book is also an intriguing and insightful portrait of Italy during the period from Italian independence in 1870 until the onset of World War II."
- Gino Segre, Physics Department, University of Pennsylvania
"Galileo said that mathematics is the language of nature. Einstein might have found himself mute when it came to describing gravity if it weren't for the mathematics of covariant derivatives developed by Galileo's countrymen Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro and Tullio Levi-Civita. Judy Goodstein tells their stories and their connection to Einstein with clarity and grace in a most readable book."
- Barry Simon, California Institute of Technology
"The theory of general relativity would never have seen the light without the absolute differential calculus invented by the Italian mathematicians Gregorio Ricci Curbastro and Tullio Levi-Civita. This wonderful book carefully examines the academic, cultural, political, and historical framework in Italy of that time, and explores the deep relation—always fed with sincere respect, admiration, and affection —between these two great mathematicians at the turn of the twentieth century."
- Tullio Ceccherini-Silberstein, Università del Sannio, Benevento, Italy

Adalberto Giazotto, 1940-2017
Scientists searching for gravitational waves have confirmed yet another detection from their fruitful observing run earlier this year. Dubbed GW170608, the latest discovery was produced by the merger of two relatively light black holes, 7 and 12 times the mass of the sun, at a distance of about a thousand million light-years from Earth. The merger left behind a final black hole 18 times the mass of the sun, meaning that energy equivalent to about 1 solar mass was emitted as gravitational waves during the collision.
LIGO Detection of Colliding Neutron Stars Spawns Global Effort to Study the Rare Event
LIGO's detection on August 17, 2017 of gravitational waves from merging neutron stars has spawned an explosion of new science across the global astronomical community.

GOP leader McCarthy says he will not cooperate with 1/6 panel – The Mercury News
by Farnosh Amiri and Eric Tucker
WASHINGTON (AP) – A House panel probing the US Capitol uprising has requested an interview and records from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, as it continues to seek direct details from members of Congress on former President Donald Trump's hundreds of days of actions. Is. Supporters brutally beat up police, stormed the building and obstructed the certification of the 2020 election.
McCarthy issued a statement Wednesday saying he would decline to cooperate. He said the investigation was not valid and accused the panel of "abuse of power".
The panel's Democratic chairman, Mississippi Rep. Benny Thompson, requested that McCarthy, R-Calif., provide information to the nine-member panel about his conversations with Trump before, during, and after the riot. The request also sought information about McCarthy's communications with former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in the days before the attack.
"We must also learn how the president's plans for January 6 came together, and all the other ways he attempted to change the outcome of the election," Thompson said in the letter. "For example, prior to January 6th, you allegedly explained to Mark Meadows and the former president that objections to the validation of electoral votes on January 6th were 'doomed to fail.'"
Without their cooperation, it is unclear whether the panel would be able to obtain testimony from McCarthy or any of Trump's other congressional aides. While the committee has considered summoning fellow MPs, this would be an extraordinary step and could run up against legal and political challenges.
Lawmakers are looking for a window into Trump's state of mind from an aide, who has acknowledged repeated talks with the then-president. The committee also wants to question McCarthy about communications with Trump and White House staff in the weeks following the violence, including conversations with Trump that were reportedly heated.
Thompson wrote, "The committee acknowledged the sensitive and unusual nature of its request as it proposed a meeting with McCarthy on February 3 or 4. "The Select Committee has great respect for the privileges of Congress and the privacy of its members." "At the same time, we have a serious responsibility to thoroughly investigate the facts and circumstances of these incidents.
Democrats have been seeking more information about McCarthy's communications with Trump since the former president's second impeachment trial last year. At one point in the trial, the Democrats said they would vote for Rep. Jaime Herrera would try to call Beutler, R-Wash, as a witness after he heard an account of McCarthy describing a potentially important call between the two men.
Herrera Beutler's statement says McCarthy told her she told Trump publicly to "stop the rioting" and that the violent mob was made up of Trump supporters, not far-right Antifa members .
"Then, according to McCarthy, the president said, 'Well, Kevin, I think these people are more upset about the election than you are,'" she said in the statement.
Finally, the Democrats read on record a statement by Herrera Beutler. Trump, who had just stepped down, was acquitted by the Senate.
McCarthy initially criticized Trump's actions after the 2020 election, saying he "bears responsibility" for the deadly January 6 attack, the most serious domestic attack on the building in its history.
"The saddest day ever" in Congress, McCarthy called the night of the attack, even as he joined 138 other House Republicans in voting to reject the election results.
The panel's latest request puts McCarthy face-to-face with its vice president, Representative Liz Cheney, whom he removed from the No. 3 House leadership position last summer because of public criticism of Trump's lies about his 2020 election. . The loss resonated through the Republican Party.
The GOP leader had advised Cheney to stay on the message, but as he continued to warn the party of Trump's lies, McCarthy hired a newly converted Trump retainer, Rep. Alice Stefanik, RN.Y., as his replacement. prepared to
McCarthy is the third member of Congress the committee has contacted for voluntary information. Over the past few weeks, GOP representatives Jim Jordan and Scott Perry were also contacted by the panel, but have declined requests to sit with lawmakers or provide documents.
The panel, which includes seven Democrats and two Republicans, has interviewed nearly 350 people and issued public summons to nearly 50 people and organizations as it seeks to create a comprehensive record of the January 6 attack and the events that followed.
On Wednesday, former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany spoke to the panel, who requested anonymity, to discuss it, according to a person familiar with the interview. The committee summoned McEnany in November.
The committee says the material it has collected – 35,000 pages of records to date, including texts, emails and phone records from people close to Trump – is uncovering important details of the worst attack on the Capitol in two centuries. which was played out on live television.
Thompson told The Associated Press in an interview last month that nearly 90% of the witnesses presented by the committee have cooperated, despite disregarding high-profile Trump aides such as Meadows and Steve Bannon. The lawmakers said they have been effective in gathering information from other sources because they share a unity of purpose rarely seen in Congress' investigations.

Today has been a mix of sun-snoozing and reading "a crime classic by the creator of The Wire" Homicide by David Simon.
Upcoming music from the divine Patrick Wolf. From what I've heard, it's as stunningly melodic as ever with an extra soupcon of hardedge. Love.

Cute onesies from Threadless – plus a nicely literary t.
TV t-shirts from the Holy Moly shop – especially The Wire ones. Where's the Stringer Bell one?
And finally – some beautiful libraries.
So… how's the David Simon book anyway?
Brilliant and as bittersweet as you'd expect with the subject matter. One of the cases left unsolved is the murder of a young girl and the amount of effort and emotion poured into the case by one of the detectives is the core of the book really.
I was really surprised to find that the names of the people involved were their real names too.
Thank you – the very testimonial I needed to include this in my Amazon wishlist.
I'm off to save money now.

If your Hartz 4 decision does not grant you the benefits you are entitled to, it helps to file an appeal. For example, if you are denied money or if the job center wants something back from you.
You can disagree and oppose the job center's decision. Here you should refer to points the job center has done wrong. Also the points that need to be corrected in order for your Hartz 4 notification from the job center to be correct. If your objection is successful, your decision will be corrected.
Basic rule: Every notice from the job center must contain instructions on how to appeal. This notice of appeal must state that you have the right to object within one month and that the objection can be made verbally (to be recorded at the Job center) or in writing. If this notice of appeal is missing or incomplete, the time limit for opposition or legal action is one year.
How do I object correctly?
If you wish to file an appeal against your Hartz 4 notification, you must send your objection in writing to the Jobcenter or hand it in there. It can also be given verbally. The job center will then write down your criticized points. However, we advise against this possibility.
Experience has shown that objections or documents submitted verbally or without proof are quickly "lost" in the job center, so that you have no certainty that your objection will actually be decided.
In any case, the objection must be addressed to your job center. It must also be recognizable that it comes from you. At best, you write down your BG number on the objection. This way, your request can be assigned as quickly as possible. In your objection, you should then pay close attention to the false statements made by the job center. In particular, whether they have miscalculated somewhere or which other mistakes were made.
Can costs be incurred during the proceedings?
The procedure is basically free of charge for you if you file an objection yourself. If you want to hire a lawyer, these costs can be settled via the counseling assistance. This way, there are no costs for you in the proceedings.
Use the lawyers of Hartz4widerspruch. de for an objection. They are always there for you free of charge.
How long do I have time to object?
Generally, you have one month to appeal against a Hartz 4 notification from the Jobcenter. This period begins as soon as you have received the notification from the job center.
Make a note of the day on which you receive the notification from the job center, preferably directly on your notification. If you do not do this, the job center assumes that you will receive the notification three days after creation. If the notification reaches you later, you can prove that way that you received the notification later and thus have more time.
If you have filed an objection, the Job center will review your application. All points are checked. If you have opposed individual points from your notification, they will be looked at again separately. Within the procedure it is possible that the Job center may ask for evidence. These verifications should prove, for example, that you are entitled to additional requirements or that the deduction of your income is incorrect. In order for your objection to be successful, you should always submit these documents and obtain confirmation of them.
We advise you to obtain written confirmation from the job center every time you submit documents. The job centers are often overloaded and neglect to keep your files and documents tidy. For this reason, it is always important to have proof that you have submitted the required documents.
During the objection process, the decision that your job center originally made remains in place. An exception to this rule is the notice of annulment and reimbursement. As soon as you object, you don't have to pay back anything. This lasts until the objection has been decided. If the outcome is positive, you don't have to pay anything back. If the outcome is negative, you will receive a payment request. If your objection is rejected, you should definitely consider takinglegal action before the Social Court. We will help you with that. If your existence is threatened within the proceedings, there is the possibility to apply for interim relief. An example of this is when the job center no longer pays your rent and therefore you are threatened with homelessness. In such cases, the Social Court can order in expedited procedure that you receive all benefits until the proceedings are completed. At the end of the process, the job center will come to a positive or negative conclusion and your decision will continue to be valid or will be corrected in your favor.
The job centers usually respond to the objection within three to five weeks. However, your job center has three months to decide.
If the job center does not decide on this within three months, you can file an action for failure.
The probability of a positive decision on your notification is high. The success rate of objections against the job center is close to 40%. The rate is not even higher because there are no independent decision-makers on the objections in the job centers.
What can I do if my objection has been rejected and I receive a notice of objection?
In the event of rejection, it is possible to sue before the responsible social court. During the process of the law suit, the points you raised are being addressed and reviewed once again. If new errors are discovered, they can be included.

The pound rose sharply yesterday after Theresa May's unplanned meeting with Juncker was announced. At this meeting, a number of new conditions were reached in the Brexit agreement, which will be represented today in Parliament at the vote, which is also expected by many to help reach an agreement. Pound purchases are best considered after a downward correction from support levels of 1.3175 and 1.3126. A breakthrough with a consolidation above 1.3219 will also be a signal to buy with a target of 1.3262 and 1.3313.
Today, the bears have to rely on weak data on UK GDP, which can form a false breakdown in the resistance area of 1.3219, which will lead to selling of the pound to the support area of 1.3175 and 1.3126, where I recommend taking profits. In case the pound increases above 1.3219 in the first half of the day, you can take a closer look at short positions against the resistance of 1.3262 and 1.3313.
Moving Averages: Trading is carried out above the 30-day and 50-day moving averages, which indicates the formation of a bullish trend.
In case the pound decreases, support will be provided by the average Bollinger Bands indicator around 1.3175. The upward correction will be limited to the upper limit around 1.3285, from where you can consider selling the pound
Indicator description
Moving Average (average sliding) 50 days - yellow

Executive Order Causes Chaos at U.S. Airports
Qatar Airways Airbus A380 arrives at Atlanta Hartfield International Airport.
Between 100 and 200 refugees and passengers were trapped at U.S. airports on Saturday 28 January 2017 following an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump the day before.
Customs officials and airlines stopped allowing persons affected by the ban to board planes as soon as the announcement was made.
Those that had already taken flight were detained on arrival by customs officials at several airports across the United States.
The executive order …
Suspends the entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days;
Bars Syrian refugees from entering the United States indefinitely;
Blocks the entry into the United States for 90 days of citizens of the following seven countries, which are predominately Muslim:
Iraq,
Libya,
Somalia,
Sudan,
Syria,
Yemen.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, green card holders from those countries are also barred from re-entering the United States.
Waivers will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
While critics of the executive order claim it is unconstitutional, discriminatory, and a violation of religious freedom, it must be noted that not all countries with large Muslim populations are affected by the order.
Citizens of Indonesia and Malaysia, both of which are predominately Muslim, are not affected by the ban.
Neither are the citizens of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates – which are all overwhelmingly Muslim.
India, which has a predominately Hindu population, is also not affected by the ban, even though it has the world's second largest number of Muslim citizens after Indonesia.
Could it be that countries in which Trump has business interests have been exempted from the ban, as some critics claim?
Check out these figures from the CATO Institute. Between 1975 and 2014, citizens of …
Saudi Arabia were responsible for the death of 2,369 Americans;
the United Arab Emirates were responsible for the death of 314 Americans;
Egypt were responsible for the death of 162 Americans;
Lebanon were responsible for the death of 158 Americans.
Yet citizens of the seven countries covered by the executive order were not responsible for any American deaths.
Will other countries be added to the list in due time? Or was this a simple case of conflicting interests?
Aviation Industry Reacts
Etihad Airways lands at Hong Kong International Airport.
Airlines around the world were quick to react, and Middle Eastern Airlines were no exception
A spokesperson for Doha-based Qatar Airways said that only passengers with the proper documentation would be allowed to board flights headed for the United States.
"We are enforcing the new rules," the official said.
"If travelers to the US don't have the proper documentation, we are not going to take them to the US."
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways also said it would immediately apply restrictions on its flights to the United States.
It goes without saying, however, that the airlines didn't have much of a choice. Would they really have been able to challenge an executive order of the president of the United States?
New Vetting Measures
Donald Trump was quick to defend his move, saying it was working "nicely".
"I'm establishing new vetting measures to keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the United States of America," The Donald said as he signed the order at the Pentagon.
"Don't want them here."
Protests broke out at at least eight major U.S. airports, with demonstrators calling foul:
Atlanta Hartfield International Airport;
Boston Logan International Airport;
Chicago O'Hare Field;
New York John F. Kennedy International Airport;
Orlando International Airport;
Philadelphia International Airport;
Seatllte/Tacoma International Airport;
Washington Dulles International Airport.
Legal Challenge
Lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union sued the U.S. government in the Federal District Court in Brooklyn, New York.
Judge Ann M. Donnelly, who heard the case, ruled that sending the travelers home could cause them "irreparable harm", adding that the government was "enjoined and restrained from, in any manner and by any means, removing individuals" arriving in the country with valid visas or refugee status.
Judge Leonie M. Brinkeman of a Federal District Court in the state of Virginia issued a temporary restraining order for a week to block the removal of any green card holders being detained at Dulles International Airport, which serves Washington, DC, and its suburbs in Maryland and Virginia.
A similar ruling was made in Seattle, Washington.
It is important to note, however, that none of these rulings has anything to do with the constitutionality of the executive order.
There will undoubtedly be further, more far-reaching legal challenges in the days and weeks to come, and judges will most likely take more time to reach a decision.
Domestic Reaction
News spread fast, and reaction to the executive order was fast and furious.
Not surprisingly, Trump's losing opponent in the recent presidential election was quick to criticize.
"I stand with the people gathered across the country tonight defending our values and our Constitution. This is not who we are," said Hillary Clinton, Democratic Candidate for President, 2016.
Even some members of Trump's own party, however, were also less than enthusiastic about the move.
"I think it's important to remember that some of our best sources [of information] in the war against radical Islamic terrorism, are Muslims, both in this country and overseas … We need to be careful as we do this," said Mitch McConnell, U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Republican.
Reaction Overseas
Many foreign leaders were also quick to criticise. Here are some reactions from overseas leaders:
"To those fleeing persecution, terror, and war, Canadians will welcome you, regarless of your faith. Diversity is or strength. #WelcomeToCanada" – Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister, Canada.
"The US decision to restrict travel for Muslims to the US, even if for a temporary period of three months, is an obvious insult to the Islamic world and in particular to the great nation of Iran." - Foreign Ministry of Iran.
"The reception of refugees fleeing the war, fleeing oppression, is part of our duties." – Jean-Marc Ayrault, French Foreign Minister.
"The United States is a country where Christian traditions have an important meaning. Loving your neighbor is a major Christian value, and that includes helping people…I think that is what unites us in the West, and I think that is what we want to make clear to the Americans." – Sigmar Gabriel, German Foreign Minister.
"The United States is responsible for the United States' policy on refugees." – Theresa May, British Prime Minister.
"India is not really worried at the moment as the religious radicalization has not been a big problem in the country and it has not been a source of refugees. So far no Indians have been arrested abroad for being involved in acts of terror." – senior official, Ministry of External Affairs, India.
"We have deep regrets about this policy." – Retno Marsudi, Foreign Minister, Indonesia.
I doubt if this controversy is over. More controversial executive orders are sure to follow, and they will surely also be met with yet more legal challenges – and protests.

Dimitrij OVTCHAROV becomes World no. 1 for the first time
Photo: Courtesy ITTF
"This is the best year of my career", stressed OVTCHAROV after his historic win against Japan`s Koki NIWA at the opening round of the Seamaster 2017 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals in Astana, Kazakhstan. ETTU President Ronald KRAMER congratulated to the newly crowned World no. 1
Dimitrij OVTCHAROV has achieved one of his biggest successes by reaching the world number one ranking on the ITTF World Ranking list. The 29-year-old German managed it by beating Japanese Koki NIWA after full seven games of the opening round match at the Seamaster 2017 ITTF World Tour Grand Finals in Astana, Kazakhstan on Friday 15th December.
"This is the best year of my career! I am immensely proud to be no. 1 in January. It feels like a world title to me, and I've worked for 20 years to achieve it", stressed actual no. 3 Dimitrij OVTCHAROV after breathtaking win against current no. 8 Koki NIWA 4:3 (10:12, 11:6, 12:14, 11:6, 9:11, 11:9, 11:5).
ETTU President Ronald KRAMER congratulated to the newly crowned World no. 1:
"A superb achievement, following a year of great success! He is being rewarded for his constant hard work and dedication. ETTU is thrilled to have a European heading the World ranking in 2018, to follow his compatriot Timo BOLL as World number one in 2011!"
World Cup winner will replace both, World and Olympic champion MA Long after 34 months at the top. More than six and a half years (exactly 81 month) Chinese players have hold the top position. Last non-Chinese world no. 1 was another German legend, Timo BOLL who climbed on the peak twice. First, six times European champion occupied highest possible spot from January to May 2003, then from January to March 2011. The 2012 Olympic bronze medalist OVTCHAROV is only second German player to be world no. 1
Like many experts emphasized, congratulating to the newlyappointed ITTF Men`s World Cup Champion, the 29-year-old German fully deserved this status. This is for sure his most successful year, winning everything that could be won, except LIEBHERR 2017 World Championships held in Dusseldorf, where he was beaten by his today`s opponent Koki NIWA in the Round of 16.
Men`s national coach of Germany Jorg ROSSKOPF was overwhelmed with emotion after OVTCHAROV`s close win against NIWA:
"It was a tough match and Dima deserves to become the world's number one in January, which is a great confirmation of his achievements. But here at the Grand Finals I would like see him to collect some more wins, not just this one against Koki NIWA".
NIWA was one who held the lead, but OVTCHAROV managed to send the match into a deciding seventh game. With the scores tied up at three points apiece, German secured comfortable 10:4 lead to establish himself as a new World no. 1.
There was another seven game encounter, as Hong Kong's WONG Chun Ting prevailed against Belarus Vladimir SAMSONOV. The ultimate set was decided by a narrow margin - 4:3 (11:3, 12:10, 9:11, 13:11, 4:11, 8:11, 11:9). WONG meets Timo BOLL in the quarter-final stage, while Dimitrij OVTCHAROV opposes Japan`s Tomoka HARIMOTO.

Q: share session among different type of web servers Some web services in my company are built with different web apps.(Rails, Django, PHP)
What's the better practice to share the session status
So that user won't have to login again and again among different servers.
I build my Rails apps in AWS auto scaling group.
That is, even I browse the same website, but next time I may browser on another server, so that I have to login again. because the server doesn't have my session status.
I need some better idea or keywords for me to search about that kind of issue.
Thanks in advance

A: I can think of two ways in which you can achieve this objective

*

*Implement a custom session handling mechanism that makes use of database session management, i.e. all sessions will be stored in a special table in the database and will be accessible to all the servers.

*Have a Central Authentication Service (CAS) which will act as a proxy to all the other servers. This will then mean that this step has to happen before the requests reach the load balancer.

If you look around, option 1 might be recommended by many, but it may also be an overkill since you'll need custom session management in each of the servers. However, your choice would probably depend on the specific objectives you want to achieve, the overall flexibility of the system architecture and the amount of time you have on your hands. The CAS might be a more straightforward way of solving the problem.

A: Storing user sessions in your applications database wouldn't be recommended option for AWS.
The biggest problem with using a database, is that you need to write some clean up script that runs every so often to clear the table of all the expired user sessions. This is messy, creates more overhead, and puts more pressure on your DB.
However, if you do want to use an actual database for this, you should use a NoSQL database like Dynamo. This will give you much better performance than a relational database. It's probably more cost effective too in terms of data transfer. However, the biggest problem with this is that you still need that annoying clean up script. Note There is built in support in the SDK for using PHP with Dynamo for storing the user's session:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-sdk-php/v2/guide/feature-dynamodb-session-handler.html
The best but most costly solution is to use an ElastiCache cluster. You can set a TTL of your choice which means you won't have to worry about clean up scripts. Also ElastiCache will get you much better performance than Dynamo or any relational DB as the data is stored in the RAM of the ElastiCache nodes. The main drawback of ElastiCache is that currently, it can't scale dynamically. So if too many users logged in at once, if you didn't have a big enough cluster already provisioned, things could get ugly.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/WhatIs.html
But you can bet that all the biggest, baddest and best applications being hosted on AWS are either using Dynamo, ElastiCache or a custom NoSQL or Cache cluster solution for storing user sessions.
Note that both of these services are supported in all of the AWS SDKs:
