Article: Raw sugar makes a powerful body scrub, great for feet and extra-rough skin. Brown sugar has smaller grains and plenty of liquid, making it the most gentle option. Granulated white sugar falls somewhere in between: it has the same size grains as brown sugar, but none of the liquid molasses. Before you begin, be aware that the scrub can cause temporary blotchiness in sensitive skin. Just in case, wait until you have an evening to yourself before trying it for the first time. Olive oil is a common option, but any natural carrier oil will work. The oil makes it easy to apply the sugar, and can help your skin health at the same time. Choose the oil based on your skin type and personal preference: For greasy skin, try safflower oil, hazelnut oil, or grapeseed oil. For very dry skin, try coconut oil, shea butter, or cocoa butter. Optionally, whip it for easy spreading. To avoid strong scents, try grapeseed oil, safflower oil, and sweet almond oil. Mix 1 part sugar with 1 part oil for a basic scrub, forming a thick paste. For a more powerful scrub, try 2 parts sugar and 1 part oil. If using white sugar, the 2:1 recipe is recommended. If you are treating an area with acne or broken blood vessels, use a very mild scrub, such as 1 part sugar to 2 parts oil. Exfoliants can make these conditions worse. For additional scent and possible health benefits, add an essential oil. No more than 1 or 2 percent of the scrub should be essential oil. Typically, you can use up to 48 drops per cup (240mL) of other ingredients, or three drops for every tablespoon (15mL). Thyme, mint, and other herbs and spices make antimicrobial essential oils. These are good at fighting acne but may cause irritation in sensitive skin. Do not use citrus oils, cumin, ginger, and angelic oils before talking to your doctor. These can trigger photosensitivity, a painful reaction to sunlight. If your skin is dirty, use mild soap and warm water to wash it. If your skin is clean, just wet it thoroughly. Scrubbing dry skin can cause redness or irritation. Hot water or harsh soaps can irritate your skin, leaving it tender and painful. Skin in this state might hurt even when a gentle sugar scrub is used. Gently rub the sugar and oil mixture over your skin. Rub in circular motions, for about 2 or 3 minutes in each area. Rub gently; any pain, discomfort, or redness means you are scrubbing too hard. Rinse off with warm water, and pat dry. Optionally, apply a moisturizing lotion, or an additional touch of oil without the sugar. Your outer layer of skin takes about two weeks to replace itself. If you repeat the scrub before this time is up, you may damage living cells instead of removing dead ones. This leads to red, raw skin, which may be vulnerable to infection.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?

Article: Once you have finished preliminary discussions with your colleagues, begin building an organizing committee. This process involves identifying leaders who will represent all major departments and all shifts at your workplace and leaders who will, ideally, reflect the racial, ethnic, and gender diversity at your place of work. Members of the organization committee will require training on educating themselves about the union and educating other coworkers about both the union and the anti-union campaign from the management that will likely follow. Organizing committee members will also require education on workers' rights in your particular jurisdiction. You will also need, at this stage, to gather important information about your workplace for future reference. This information includes: workplace structure: departments, areas of work, shifts, jobs. employee information: name, address, phone, shift, job title, and department for each worker. employer information: other locations, parent company, product(s), customers, union history.

Article: Apart from being a linguistic exercise, it may bring you into contact with new people and ideas. You may feel less of a stranger when you visit a place and you know some of the language. Also, at some point you will realize that there are some phrases or concepts in other languages that have no direct translation in English! This can be a challenging and fun exercise for the mind. (Note, try to be patient and positive when studying a language as it may take time to reach the level you desire.) Try to visit other countries too. Visiting cities in your country or in a different one gives you an open mind and teaches you about the universe. You will be able to understand other cultures (how people live in a different place, how they behave with each other). You will also be able to understand that there is so much to see and do anywhere. You will be fascinated on how there are so many different people and cultures in the world. That will make you smart and interesting. and willing to learn new things. Just because you're great at one thing doesn't mean you have to stick to it! Find ways to step out of your comfort zone. This is where the learning happens.
