An American inventor has patented a pair of new time formats with a footprint less than 50% of that of conventional four-digit time. The more unusual of the two new formats, called “TWELV”, dispenses with numerals altogether. In place of clock hands or digits, the new clock uses color to convey the hour and a moon image to convey the minute, which moon slowly grows throughout the course of an hour from a narrow crescent to a full-fledged circle.
The second and more approachable of the new formats retains numerical digits to indicate the minute but uses colors to convey the hour.
Early critics question whether the aesthetic benefits of the moon-clock will be sufficient to encourage users to learn the color-based time-telling system. However, the size advantages of the new system may make it particularly suitable for mobile applications, particularly cell phones, wearable computers, and head-mounted displays.

Eben Moglen, Columbia University Law Professor, will head the newSoftware Freedom Law Center (SFLC). An initial 4 million dollars has been provided by Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) to fund the project.
The law center will provide free legal service for open source projects and developers. In 2004 OSDL established a separate $10 million Linux Legal Defense Fund providing legal support for Linus Torvalds, Linux kernel creator and end user companies subjected to Linux-related litigation by the SCO Group. The new law center will not be affiliated with the OSDL.
“This is about taking care of the goose that laid the golden egg and not letting wolves come in the middle of the night and steal it away,” Moglen said during a press conference. “This is a legal firm not involved so much in litigating and defending as it will be for counseling and advising and nurturing non-profits and to prevent millions of dollars in litigation.”
Moglen will serve as chairman and director-counsel of the non-profit organization. Also on board as directors are: Lawrence Lessig, law professor at Stanford Law School; Daniel Weitzner, director of the World Wide Web Consortium‘s technology and society activities; and Diane Peters, general counsel at the OSDL. Daniel Ravicher, executive director of the Public Patent Foundation, will help manage as legal director.
Moglen, one of the world.s leading experts on copyright law as applied to software, will run the new Law Center from its headquarters in New York City. The Law Center will initially have two full-time intellectual property attorneys on staff and expects to expand to four attorneys later this year. Initial clients for the Law Center include the Free Software Foundation and the Samba Project.
Other services provided by the SFLC include: asset stewardship, to avoid intellectual property claim conflict; license review and compatibility analysis; legal consulting and lawyer training.

Sytropin HGH is one of the supplements available on the market today that claims to promote the pituitary gland to produce greater amounts of human growth hormone. Though Sytropin contains homeopathic HGH, it is said to also increase the bodys ability to create more of human growth hormone on its own.
The Pros of Sytropin
Taking Sytropin on a regular basis is said to be beneficial in a variety of ways. It is said to decrease body fat, increase lean muscle, provide better skin tone and elasticity, increase levels of energy and allow for a better nights sleep. Many clinical studies about the benefits of human growth hormone show that those that take HGH can increase their health and feeling of well being.
Taking Sytropin HGH is a less costly alternative to the more expensive prescription HGH injections. HGH has risen to the public consciousness because the buzz that was generated when the rich and famous began getting HGH injections and raving about the results. The average person cannot afford to get HGH at a rate where it will continue to provide maximum benefits.

The manufacturers of Sytropin reassure potential customers that it uses only ingredients that have been approved by the FDA. Containing homeopathic HGH along with releasers of amino acids, Sytropin is available without a prescription and can be found on the shelves of providers of nutritional supplements.
The use of Sytropin is recommended especially for athletes, body builders and those that are suffering with symptoms and signs of aging. It aids in increasing the bodys ability to repair itself so is very attractive to athletes for its promotion of the bodys natural healing properties.
Sytropin can even be taken with other HGH pills, sprays and stimulators though it is not advised to take it along with prescription human growth hormone injections. It is said that taking Sytropin with them holds the risk of suppressing the bodys production of natural HGH.
The manufacturers of Sytropin guarantee that you will be more than satisfied with their product. They stand behind their product and if you are in any way dissatisfied with the results or lack thereof when taking Sytropin, they will return your money when you return the bottles to them. They permit potential customers to try Sytropin with no risk for ninety days. The only price you will pay is the shipping and handling charges.
The Cons of Sytropin HGH
Because Sytropin is a nutritional supplement, it requires no FDA approval. For many people this is not acceptable. In order to receive the maximum benefits of Sytropin, customers must take it between 3 to 6 months. Consumers will have to take it for this length of time in order to know if Sytropin works for them.
Some users complain that Sytropin does not deliver on its claims. They also state that though not as expensive as prescription HGH injections the price is still prohibitive at just under $200 without shipping and handling. Others comment that you can get the same results from regular exercise and a healthy diet and lifestyle. Sytropin contains no HGH per se; it merely claims to increase the bodys ability to produce more of HGH in the body.
You might want to try Sytropin HGH as there are many more satisfied customers than not. Do your research and speak with your healthcare provider before you decide if Sytropin HGH is for you.
