LOS ANGELES, CA, November 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) Shoppers can help rescue teenage girls from human sex trafficking, as well as support several other worthy causes, by using their money to buy products on Influencetv.org.

With a menu of more than 5,000 available products, Influencetv.org (www.influencetv.org) gives consumers the opportunity to donate a portion of their purchase to a life-saving Cause. This does not cost the shopper a single penny more because all of the products have been discounted by manufacturers, leaving a portion of every sale to support a specific cause.

The Dream Center Project Hope program, eases the painful suffering of female victims coming out of prostitution rings.

"Sadly, America is the world's biggest consumer of modern-day slavery," said Dr. Michael K. Clifford, Chairman of InfluenceTV.org. "Here's an opportunity for everybody to support these young women by purchasing everyday products and services at InfluenceTV.org."

"Our not-for-profit provides as many options as possible for people to spend their Influence in a positive direction," said Clifford. "We invite all charities to join InfluenceTV.org and help people who are suffering live better lives."

Clifford said Project Hope was the right choice for the first Cause. "These young women have suffered unbelievable, extensive, physical and mental trauma," he said. "They will die unless they receive professional physical, spiritual and emotional healing in a safe place full of love."

ABOUT INFLUENCETV.ORG
www.InfluenceTV.org is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to change the way America spends money shopping. Through its content-rich video-centric website, shoppers can buy goods and services they use every day while designating a portion of the purchase price specifically to the Cause or charity that they want to help.

Study reveals the proteins expressed by human cytomegalovirus

2012-11-23

New findings reveal the surprisingly complex protein-coding capacity of the human cytomegalovirus, or HCMV, and provide the first steps toward understanding how the virus manipulates human cells during infection. The genome of the HCMV was first sequenced over 20 years ago, but researchers have now investigated the proteome—the complete set of expressed proteins—of this common pathogen as well. HCMV is an incredibly successful virus, and it infects most humans on the planet. Birth defects and disease, however, are only known to occur in newborn infants and adults with ...

Team solves birth and migration mysteries of cortex's powerful inhibitors, 'chandelier' cells

2012-11-23

Cold Spring Harbor, NY -- The cerebral cortex of the human brain has been called "the crowning achievement of evolution." Ironically, it is so complex that even our greatest minds and most sophisticated science are only now beginning to understand how it organizes itself in early development, and how its many cell types function together as circuits. A major step toward this great goal in neuroscience has been taken by a team led by Professor Z. Josh Huang, Ph.D., at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). Today they publish research for the first time revealing the ...

Scripps Research Institute scientists describe elusive replication machinery of flu viruses

2012-11-23

LA JOLLA, CA – November 22, 2012 – Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have made a major advance in understanding how flu viruses replicate within infected cells. The researchers used cutting-edge molecular biology and electron-microscopy techniques to "see" one of influenza's essential protein complexes in unprecedented detail. The images generated in the study show flu virus proteins in the act of self-replication, highlighting the virus's vulnerabilities that are sure to be of interest to drug developers. The report, which appears online in Science ...

Star Trek Classroom: The next generation of school desks

2012-11-23

Researchers designing and testing the 'classroom of the future' have found that multi-touch, multi-user desks can boost skills in mathematics. New results from a 3-year project working with over 400 pupils, mostly 8-10 year olds, show that collaborative learning increases both fluency and flexibility in maths. It also shows that using an interactive 'smart' desk can have benefits over doing mathematics on paper. Using multi-touch desks in the new classroom, the children were able to work together in new ways to solve and answer questions and problems using inventive ...

Le Rouge et le Noir: Where the black dahlia gets its color

2012-11-23

The molecular mechanisms whereby a spectrum of dahlias, from white to yellow to red to purple, get their colour are already well known, but the black dahlia has hitherto remained a mystery. Now, a study published in BioMed Central's open-access journal BMC Plant Biology reveals for the first time that the distinctive black-red colouring is based on an increased accumulation of anthocyanins as a result of drastically reduced concentrations of flavones. Dahlia variabilis hort. is a popular garden flower. Continuous dahlia breeding worldwide has led to the availability of ...

Magnesium oxide: From Earth to super-Earth

2012-11-23

Washington, D.C.— The mantles of Earth and other rocky planets are rich in magnesium and oxygen. Due to its simplicity, the mineral magnesium oxide is a good model for studying the nature of planetary interiors. New work from a team led by Carnegie's Stewart McWilliams studied how magnesium oxide behaves under the extreme conditions deep within planets and found evidence that alters our understanding of planetary evolution. It is published November 22 by Science Express. Magnesium oxide is particularly resistant to changes when under intense pressures and temperatures. ...
