Ukraine is a unitary state composed of 24 oblasts (provinces), one autonomous republic (Crimea), and two cities with special status: Kiev, its capital and largest city, and Sevastopol, which houses the Russian Black Sea Fleet under a leasing agreement. Ukraine is a republic under a semi-presidential system with separate legislative, executive, and judicial branches. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine continues to maintain the second largest military in Europe, after that of Russia. The country is home to 46 million people, 77.8 percent of whom are ethnic Ukrainians, with sizable minorities of Russians (17%), Belarusians and Romanians. The Ukrainian language is the official language in Ukraine. Russian is also widely spoken. The dominant religion in the country is Eastern Orthodox Christianity, which has heavily influenced Ukrainian architecture, literature and music. (Source: Wikipedia)

We're big gamers in our household. My wife even loves to play video games and I think that's probably what we spent most of our dates doing together when we were in college. So I'm relieved that our kids already love video games. I don't think I would know what to do if they loved sports and hated video games. But our designated gaming room is looking a little shabby lately and we decided to give it a makeover. I thought this would also be a good time to make our home a little green by finding some green materials to use in the makeover.
I went online to find some inspiration for that and I came across a site with energy savings plans. We go through quite a bit of energy with all the game playing that we do, so it would be beneficial to save a bit on energy. But that also helps the environment too, so I thought that was a great extra from the makeover process.
I also found the perfect gaming chairs that have good support but sit low on the floor. They're actually made out of recycled materials, which really help. This is one green room weÕll definitely get a lot of use from.

In contemporary medicine, Mimosa pudica is being investigated for its potential to yield novel chemotherapeutic compounds. It contains an alkaloid called mimosine, which has been found to have potent antiproliferative and apoptotic effects.
Aqueous extracts of the roots of the plant have shown significant neutralizing effects in the lethality of the venom of the monocled cobra (Naja Kaouthia). It appears to inhibit the myotoxicity and enzyme activity of cobra venom.
