Problem: Article: Take the following steps while outdoors: Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade your head, ears, face, and neck. Cover up to protect exposed skin. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants if possible. Note that tightly woven fabrics and dark colors are more protective against the sun. Some clothing will have an SPF value on the label inside to indicate the degree of ultraviolet protection it offers. Try to stay out of the sun when it is most intense, usually between 10 AM and 4 PM. Sunscreen with a higher SPF (sun protective factor) such as SPF 30 or higher is best for optimum sun protection. Be sure to apply it on all exposed areas of skin such as your face, your ears, your nose, your chest and shoulders, your arms and hands, your stomach and back, and your legs and feet. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen which protects against UVA and UVB rays. Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours, or after swimming or sweating (such as after a workout). Note that sunscreen should be used even on seemingly cloudy days, as the clouds do not stop the sun's rays from reaching your skin. Particularly during midday hours (10 AM 4 PM), when the sun's UV rays are the strongest and can do the most damage, try to stay either in the shade or indoors. The best time to enjoy the sun is in the early morning or the late afternoon, as both of these times are less damaging to your skin when it comes to sun exposure and UV radiation. Even if the sun is not shining directly, the UV rays can still pass through the clouds and cause skin damage; therefore, if you find yourself in a warm climate where the sun normally shines but it is temporarily concealed by clouds, be sure to still protect yourself well using sunscreen, a hat, and other precautions. The following is a list of factors that may increase your chances of getting skin cancer: Light skin color History of cancer in the family Prolonged exposure to the sun through work or play History of sunburns as a youngster Skin that burns, freckles, or reddens easily Blue or green eyes Naturally blond or red hair A large amount of moles Skin that becomes painful in the sun An inability to tan It is important to know that tanning is also an indication of skin damage. Many people are aware that burning their skin is a warning sign that they have had too much sun; however, few people know that tanning also demonstrates skin damage. Both tanning and burning increase your risk of skin cancer, as well as your total time spent in the sun throughout your life; therefore, limit your time tanning and prioritize the health of your skin by avoiding excess UV rays. Keep in mind that tanning beds and sunlamps emit UV rays. The UV rays from these devices are just as dangerous as those from sunlight, so their use should be avoided. If you want to appear more "tanned," try using a bronzer for your face when you put on makeup, or a bronzing lotion for your body, as this can create the look you are after without risking damage to your skin and possible skin cancer. Some medications carry with them an increased sensitivity to sun damage. One example is the antibiotic doxycycline. Tetracycline, which is commonly used to treat acne, can also cause photosensitivity. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist to see if any of the medications you are currently on affect your sensitivity to sunlight and warrant special precautions.
Summary: Protect yourself from the sun. Use sunscreen. Try to stay in the shade. Protect yourself even on cloudy days. Take extra precaution if you have multiple risk factors. Avoid tanning. Be aware of any "sun-sensitizing" medications you may be taking.

Problem: Article: Be very gently and do not apply too much pressure. Erase very lightly. The goal here is to just slightly bring up the pigment from the page, in order to help the tape pull it up more easily. This helps prepare the area for the tape. You do not need to try to fully erase the colored pencil with the normal pencil eraser. Even if you need to erase a larger area, you are better off using several small pieces of tape. You can use masking tape or clear tape. It is best to test an erasing method before starting to erase large portions. Erasing with tape can cause damage to the paper. By testing first, you can ensure that you will not ruin your picture. Try to choose a peripheral spot to test the tape. If it does start to tear the paper, you do not want it to ruin the central part of your image. Do not rub too hard, it may damage the paper when you peel it off. By using a fine pointed stylus, like a pen, to put pressure on the tape you will encourage the colored pencil to stick to the adhesive. Make sure you do not press too hard and rip through the tape. This works better with masking tape than with clear tape. There should be some of the pigment sticking on the tape. Be careful when peeling the tape back from the paper. This is the step that has the greatest chance of ripping or tearing the paper. Each time you repeat this step, you increase the chance the paper will tear. If there is still pigment left that you want to remove, repeat the entire process. This can help to erase small, remaining amounts of pigment that are left on the page.
Summary: Erase the area with normal pencil eraser. Cut off a small strip of tape. Test the tape on a small area. Gently put the strip of tape on the paper, and rub it gently. Use a pen to write on the tape over the part you want to erase most thoroughly. Peel the tape off the paper. Gently erase of the paper again with a regular pencil eraser.

Problem: Article: The settings you entered above are great for practice, but pro surfing servers will use much less forgive settings. Once you're familiar with how surfing works, change the sv_airaccelerate 800 value to sv_airaccelerate 100. You can decrease it in increments until you reach 100 so that you can get used to the slower air acceleration speed. Big jumps may look cool, but they'll kill your forward momentum. If you're trying to get the best times, you'll want to stick to low jumps to clear the space you need while maintaining your speed. The longer you hold Space, the higher you'll jump. Try to just tap it to clear the gaps you need to get over. The one time big air can come in useful is if you've found a shortcut you can use or a part fo the map you can skip. This almost always requires a very high speed so that you can make the jump. Not all maps have skippable sections. The M3 shotgun is one of the best weapons to use while surfing, as it stays accurate even while moving quickly. It's meant for close range, so try to use it on players using the same surfing ramp as you. Not all servers allow you to use guns and attack other surfers. Try to avoid automatic weapons, as the accuracy will be terrible. The same goes for single shot snipers, as you'll never get an accurate shot while moving. You'll lose all of your momentum as well, but this can be a good tactic if you've already messed up your jump. Be aware that not all servers look kindly on blockers, so you may get kicked if it's against the rules.
Summary:
Adjust your game settings. Avoid big air. Look for shortcuts and corners you can skip. Use shotguns if you want to attack other players. Block other players by stopping in front of them.
