Problem: Article: Weeding by hand can be tough on the fingernails and skin of your fingers. To avoid hurting your hands, and to give yourself a stable grip on the weeds, use cotton gardening gloves. You can purchase cotton gardening gloves at any nursery or gardening center.  Hand weeding is an effective, though time-consuming and tedious, method of controlling weeds. This method is preferable in small lawns, or in lawns not completely overrun with weeds. If weeds in your lawn are widespread, another removal method will be more practical. The blade of the trowel or digger should be at about a 65° angle—not quite vertical, but largely upright. Drive the tool into the soil about 4–5 inches (10–13 cm) to loosen the soil surrounding the weed’s roots. Repeat this 3 or 4 times, loosening the soil on all sides of the root. Trowels and dandelion diggers can both be purchased at a local plant nursery or gardening center. Both should cost less than $5 USD. To properly remove a weed, you need to pull it out by the root. Hold the base of the weed firmly, using your full hand—don’t just pinch the stalk of a weed using 2 fingers. If you’re pulling up a clump of weeds, grasp the entire clump at its base. Perennial weeds like dandelions can be plucked most effectively in early spring. If left to grow until summer, the dandelions will have put down thick taproots. Loosen the root in the soil if you feel resistance when you attempt to uproot it. Twist the base of the root back and forth 5 or 6 times. This will loosen the weed’s roots in the soil and make it easier to pull.  If you pull too hard without rotating the weed, its stem will snap off but the root will remain in the ground. The weeds can quickly regrow from a root still in the ground. If there is a small hole left behind after you’ve pulled the weed, fill it with some loose soil. Carry a small trash bag around with you as you move across your lawn pulling weeds. As soon as you’ve plucked weeds—whether individual or in large clumps—from the ground, toss them into the bag. This will prevent the weeds’ seeds from scattering over your lawn.
Summary: Purchase a pair of thick cotton gloves. Press a trowel or dandelion digger into the soil near the base of the root. Grasp the stalk of the weed at its base. Rotate the base of the weed as you pull it out. Toss weeds into a trash bag as soon as they’re pulled.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Diaphragm calls, or mouth calls, are tricky to use, but their range makes them popular with turkey hunters anyway. Unlike box and slate calls, they aren’t held in your hands. Instead, a mouth call is a rubber or latex organ that fits in the mouth, up against the palate.  Single-reed calls have the best range: you can make a wide variety of noises, and make those noises carry farther, with them. However, they’re hard to learn.  Double-reed calls are a bit more limited, but they’re much easier to use. Since mouth calls don’t require the use of your hands, they’re convenient, but require learning a different set of motions. Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted, and get your mouth used to the way it feels to have the call inside it. Here are some exercises you should try.  Start by placing the call in your mouth. Keep the open end facing outside, then push the call up to the roof of your mouth with your tongue. Exhale so that the air is forced between your tongue and the call. Press your tongue hard against the reed, then blow. You will produce a higher sound this way. Now press more gently. With low pressure, the sounds will be lower tones. Exhale syllables, such as "chuck" or “pip,” between tongue and reed. This will help you hear the distinct sounds they produce. Now that you’ve gotten the idea of how it feels to manipulate the call, you’ll want to ensure a custom fit. If it feels a little too large in your mouth, carefully trim along the edge with clean scissors, then pop it back in to check the fit. Remember to trim conservatively--you can always cut more if you need to. The classic yelp isn’t hard to do with a mouth call. Try saying the word “chuck” repeatedly. Experiment with different volumes and pitches to mix it up, and remember: a yelp is the first call you’ll learn on the mouth call, but not the only one. Toms are usually the ones who cackle (or gobble), while hens are the chief cutters. There may be a sex difference in the way these sounds are deployed, but the motion for each is the same. Simply place your call in your mouth, and say “kit kit kit” several times.  Make the sound quicker for cackling. Try listening to recorded cackles and gobbles until you feel you can get it right. Slow the sound down a bit to cut. Purring is especially tricky on the mouth call. Some mouth call users prefer fluttering their lips around the call (as if they're blowing a raspberry), while others roll a syllable in the back of their throat (as if they're gargling). Experiment to figure out which works best for you.

SUMMARY: Buy a single or double-reed diaphragm call. Practice moving your mouth. Trim the call to fit your mouth. Begin yelping. Cackle and cutt. Practice purrs.

If you're using a gas grill, turn the burners to medium-high. If you're using a charcoal grill, fill a chimney with briquettes and light them. Once the coals are hot and lightly ashy, dump them on one half of the grill. Dumping the coals on one half of the grill will create a two-zone fire which isn't as hot as if you were to dump them in the center of the grill. Transfer the swordfish from the grill to your serving plates. Serve the swordfish with wedges of fresh lemon and consider offering crusty bread on the side. Store the leftover fish in an airtight container. Refrigerate them for up to 3 or 4 days.

One-sentence summary -- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Serve the swordfish with lemon and herbs.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Place the cut eggplant on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and use a liberal amount of salt on the open side of the eggplant slices. Salting helps draw out the extra water, so the baked eggplant will turn out less watery and mushy. It also prevents the eggplant from soaking up too much oil. You can skip this step if you're in a hurry, but it's worth doing if you want the texture of your eggplant to turn out perfectly. As the salt sits on the eggplant slices, you will see droplets of water begin to bead and drip from the fruit. If you don't see this occurring, sprinkle more salt on the eggplant. Carefully squeeze the water into a bowl or the sink, then pat the eggplant slices with paper towels to absorb the excess moisture. Be careful not to squeeze too hard and crush the eggplant.
Summary:
Sprinkle the sliced eggplant with kosher salt. Wait thirty minutes. Squeeze the saltwater from the eggplant slices.
