Toxin-Targeting Plants Answered

I brought plants to my office cube and can tell the difference in my allergies. I have an english ivy I'm training to run the length of the top, rooted in little hanging credit card boxes, which is very nice anyway. Also I have a Philodendron that I always seem to be giving its cuttings away.

Here is a pic

I have the 3rd one. I have about 5 of them.....

Measuring magnification

How to Measure magnification
How can I see how strong a magnifying glass is?

I bought this magnifying glass http://www.liangdianup.com/inventory/189901.htm and I want

to know how to test it to see how strong it is. I hear a lot of people talk about

magnifying and how strong the magnification is, but I would like to know the true

magnification of my magnifying glass. I have a few of them and some seem stronger then

others. How can I rate these? How can I pin a correct number on mine? How do the companies

that make these come up with these numbers.

i'm aware. it's to keep new content flowing through the forum...not narcissism.

I'll have to admit, all of these are interesting...where do you find them?

All over the internet, mainly with RSS feeds. We look for cool articles and happenings that we think will be of interest to the Instructables community and put them up. There's a lot of wading through blogs, online magazines, and a variety of other sites, and then we pick some interesting ones to post in the forums.

Um....may I suggest a site?

Its called Plime.com

That's where i get my stories.

There's some stuff that might be NSFW, but they usually feature very interesting topics and news.

And asking the same question as Patrik, are you an intern or staff?

Yes, I'm one of the new Instructable interns for this summer. Thanks for the welcome!

Ahh!!! I never welcomed you!!!! Sorry!!!!!

Hi Josh - you one of the new Instructables interns or staff members? If so, you may want to mention that in your profile. Welcome aboard!

I asked him to do it!

Oh...sorry then! It is true, it keeps the forums a' movin..

. Several ppl do that. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but it just doesn't seem "right" to me, either. "Appropriate" would be a better word - nothing really wrong with it. . I just didn't think it was a big enough deal to bring it up first. It might be different if I didn't agree with their assessment of a topic's Featureabilityness (hmmm spellchecker flags that one for some reason) 99% of the time. :)

Yeah, but I have to admit, that 40% of those were useful to me. So.....eh

Original Study.
