Several of us at the February meeting took on the challenge of using specific applications for 30 days. During the March meeting, we'll present and talk about those experiences. If you haven't attended the previous meetings, it's no problem!

We meet on the last Wednesday of the month during the academic year, usually from 7:00 - 8:30 PM.. This month= For much of human history, plant extracts have been used as ingredients in potions and poisons. In the eastern Mediterranean, use of the latex of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) can be traced back at least to 1400 to 1200 B.C. The Sarpagandha root (Rauwolfia serpentina) has been used in India since approximately 1000 B.C. Ancient people used medicinal plant extracts as purgatives, antitussives, sedatives, and treatments for a wide range of ailments, including snakebite, fever and insanity. As the use of medicinal plants spread westward across Arabia and Europe, new infusions and decoctions played a role in famous events. During his execution in 399 B.C., the philosopher Socrates drank an extract of coniine-containing hemlock (Conium maculatum). In the last century B.C., Queen Cleopatra used extracts of henbane (Hyoscyamus), which contains atropine, to dilate her pupils and appear more alluring to her male political rivals. Today, 25% of our medicines still come either directly from plants or are modified plant chemicals and only 10% of plant species have been studied with respect to their chemical constituents! =============================================================================== Thursday, March 24 =============================================================================== 8:30am STLCRMUG - St. Louis CRM Users Group Thu, March 24, 8:30am . 11:30am 3 City Place Drive, Creve Coeur, MO 63131 http://www.stlcrmug.org/ Microsoft Offices Meets every other month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10:00am WCORCC - Technical SIG Multimedia SIG Thu, March 24, 10am . 3pm Daniel Boone Branch Library http://wcorcc.tripod.com/ Technical Forum SIG - 10:00 AM Multimedia SIG - 1:00 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6:00pm STLMD - St. Louis Mobile Dev Thu, March 24, 6:00pm . 8:30pm 1701 Washington Ave, St Louis, MO 63103 Two talks this month= 1.
