Article: Standards, which usually weigh between 15 to 25 pounds (6.8 to 11.3kg), can take up a lot of space in your desk or writing office, but they're made to be used frequently. If you want a typewriter for daily use, consider a Standard so you don't have to worry about maintenance and repair. Portable typewriters are built to fit in a carrying case and are therefore great to travel with. However, they may not perform well and are traditionally more fragile than Standard typewriters. If you're not careful with your typewriter selection, you can end up paying over $600, so make sure you set your budget before you start looking. You can easily find a vintage typewriter that works for less than $200, though there's a chance it won't be refurbished or might have some minor issues. One way to keep costs down is to purchase a damaged or even broken typewriter and take it to a repair shop. Even better: fix it yourself! Portables are currently more popular than Standard typewriters because of their attractive cases, so they can be more expensive. The older your typewriter, the more expensive it will be. The most reasonably priced typewriters will be ones that were manufactured in the 1980s and '90s.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Opt for a Standard if you plan on heavy use. Select a Portable for a lightweight option. Set your budget.
Article: A benthic Barrier is a sheet that lays on the bottom of the lake preventing sun from reaching the lake bottom so it kills lake weeds it targets. This is a non chemical reusable product that is safe for fish. Some vegetative growth is necessary for the health of the lake. If you use a benthic barrier, leave some area uncovered to allow for natural vegetative growth. Don't cover fish spawning or bird nesting areas. You can easily cut up lake weeds from the roots, collect the cut weeds, and remove them from your lake or pond. They can be cut with a sickle or pulled up by hand, then removed from the water with rakes or hoes. Most lake weeds are perennials, meaning they will continue to sprout throughout the season due to underwater roots. You must remove them from their underlying roots in order to be properly control them. Depending on the size of your lake or pond, and the weeds you are trying to remove, you may need an underwater or motor-driven device. Controlling lake weeds by hand can be labor intensive and difficult, as these weeds usually grow back quickly. Motor-driven underwater removal devices can help cut lake weeds loose under water, like water lilies and water milfoil. There are also aquatic weed harvesters that collect weeds for removal. Motor-driven devices often leave cut-up weed fragments in the water. New weeds may grow from these pieces so be careful when removing weeds this way. For surface algae in smaller bodies of water, water pumps can circulate the top layer of water to prevent algal scum from settling. Mechanical control of lake weeds can be likened to mowing a lawn. These devices will trim the weeds, but it is a temporary solution. If the weed problem is severe, and weeds cover over 25% of the lake surface, consider dredging and deepening the lake. This will remove existing weeds and the bottom layer of sediment, as well as any underlying nutrients that cause weed proliferation. Dredging and deepening will reveal a layer of nutrient-poor soil, limit the amount of sunlight weeds are exposed to, and make it more difficult for weeds to take root.

Article: Plug the webcam's USB cable into one of the rectangular USB ports on the side or back of your computer. USB plugs can only be inserted one way. If the plug won't fit into the port, rotate the plug 180 degrees and try again. If you're on a Mac, you'll most likely need to buy a USB to USB-C adapter in order to fit a normal webcam. Make sure that you plug the webcam directly into your computer, not a USB hub. USB hubs are often too underpowered to operate a webcam. Place the CD that came with the webcam in your computer's CD tray, making sure that the logo is face-up in the process. Since most modern Macs don't come with CD drives, you will have to have a separate CD drive attached via USB cable if you're using a Mac. If the webcam didn't come with a CD, skip this step. You can usually find a copy of the webcam's software in the "Support" section of the webcam company's website. Your webcam's setup page should open automatically. If your webcam didn't include a CD, plugging the webcam into your computer will most likely start the setup process. Your webcam's individual instructions will vary, but most setup processes will involve clicking through a series of preference windows before clicking an Install button. Pay attention to the windows' information here. You'll most likely need to select certain preferences that will help the webcam work later. Once the webcam has finished installing, its program should open, at which point you can begin setting up the webcam.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Attach the webcam to your computer. Insert the webcam's CD. Wait for the webcam's setup page to open. Follow any on-screen instructions. Wait for your webcam to finish installing.
