JFC Naples Hosts METOC Seminar From JFC Public Affairs

Meteorologists from across the Alliance gathered at Allied Joint Force Command Naples, June 1216, for the first NATO Response Force Meteorology and Oceanography (METOC) Seminar aimed at promoting a broader understanding of the NRF within the METOC community.

The seminar provided an opportunity to discuss recent innovations and developments within the

branch. The inaugural NRF METOC seminar provided dedicated training for METOC experts and augmentees assigned to the NRF at the operational and tactical levels and focused on optimizing METOC support to upcoming exercises.

Seminar organizers said weather has a profound effect on military operations and, in particular, at the operational level, or the planning process that surrounds the formulation of an NRF operation or exercise. The Netherlands currently is

the lead nation to provide dedicated meteorological support, data, and products to the NRF, and that responsibility will soon rest with Canada next year. The recent seminar provided an opportunity for representatives from both nations to meet in person and discuss the NRF and how METOC support plays such an integral part.

“Not all seminars that one attends manage to meet expectations,” Christopher Murphy, respresenting the Joint Meteorological Centre in New Brunswick, Canada, said.

The response of the crew of the severely damaged USS Fitzgerald “was swift and effective, and I want to point out – as we stand by the ship – how proud I am of them,” Navy Vice Adm. Joseph P. Aucoin, commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet, said at a press conference on June 18, 2017, in front of the stricken ship that’s now moored in Yokosuka, Japan.

The U.S. Navy Arleigh Burkeclass guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald collided with the Philippine-flagged merchant vessel ACX Crystal in the Philippine Sea at approximately 2:30 a.m. local time, June 17, while operating about 64 miles southwest of Yokosuka, Japan, according to U.S. 7th Fleet news releases.

The Fitzgerald was able to return to its home port at Yokosuka under its own power aided by tug boats about 16 hours after the collision, according to a release.

Extensive Damage, Flooding The Fitzgerald experienced extensive damage and flooding after the collision, Aucoin said in a news release issued today.

The damage, he added, included a significant impact under the ship’s pilothouse on the starboard, or right, side and a large puncture below the ship’s waterline, opening the hull to the sea.

The ship, he continued, experienced rapid flooding of three large compartments that included a machinery room and two berthing areas for the ship’s 116-member crew.

CAPTAIN’S CORNER

By Capt. Doug Carpenter NSA Naples Commanding Officer

This past weekend our Navy family tragically lost seven of its members on the USS Fitzgerald. I’ve taken a lot of time to reflect on this and I’m sure most of the community has done the same. I’d like you to consider a few thoughts regarding the tragedy. First, the Navy is a tight-knit community. I’m sure at least a few of us here at NSA Naples know someone aboard the ship from a previous command or acquaintance. If so, please reach out to them and ask how they’re doing. A simple phone call, chat, message, or e-mail can go a long way in helping a shipmate who has gone through something this terrible. Second, please use this as a reminder that we serve in an inherently dangerous profession. It can be easy to forget the dangers of the Sea Service when you’re stationed ashore, but safety is always an important factor in everything we do here, or at sea. Finally, please talk to your families, either here or back home. They worry about us, whether we’re deployed or just at work for the day. When tragedy strikes, it worries them too. Talking about it and discussing the realities of our jobs is extremely important, and helps maintain our focus. The more our families know, the better equipped they are to support us.

This week we, our watchstanders and NSA staff members took part in a training exercise simulating multiple crises and emergencies on base. Our Operational Readiness Assessment (ORA) team did a great job preparing our security, medical, public works, and numerous other organizations and personnel to respond to the most serious situations that could occur. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved for their enthusiastic, professional, and diligent participation in the drills, and also for what they do every day to keep this community safe. If you see our first responders over the weekend or next week, please take a moment to say thanks.

June is national Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) month, and on Wednesday June 28th, we celebrate the important contributions and service of our LGBT shipmates. From 10 to 11 a.m., the Multicultural Heritage Committee will hold a Pride ceremony at the Capodichino theater.

All hands are welcome to attend and learn about the experiences of multiple LGBT service members across different branches of service.

This weekend, spend some quality time with your friends and loved ones, and take a moment to remember our shipmates who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

Florence’s Uffizi Art Gallery to Host Outdoor Cinema

Rome to Host Electric Powered Formula E Series Race

For the first time in its history, the Florence’s Uffizi art gallery will host an outdoor cinema. There will be seats for up to 285 people to watch the films screened as part of a summer festival in the Renaissance city. The Apriti Cinema festival is in its sixth year, and more than 20 new and classic films will be shown at the evening screenings, which begins today. Mayor Dario Nardella said that the piazza is one of the cultural and archeological centers of the city, but in recent years has lost its identity, and the screenings at Italy’s most popular art gallery will allow the city to repossess public spaces. Florence is one of several Italian cities to crack down on overcrowding from mass tourism, which is seen as harmful to its cultural heritage. In May, Nardella launched an initiative to banish picnicking tourists from the steps of iconic churches and cathedrals by hosing them down with water over lunchtime.

According to the International sport’s governing body (FIA), Rome will host a Formula E series race for electric-powered cars in the EUR suburb on April 14, 2018. The electric cars are powered by batteries charged by glycerin and emit almost zero emissions. The fullypowered car can run for 25 minutes, so drivers must change vehicles roughly half-way through the Formula E race which lasts about 50 minutes. However, the car is capable of considerable speed-up to 225 kilometres per hour (about 140 miles per hour) or 0-100 kilometres in three seconds, despite the car’s environmentally-friendly signature.

Naples International Airport ‘Best European Airport’ The Naples International Airport won the award for Best European Airport in the “5-10 million passengers” category, given by the International Council Airports (ACI) in an official ceremony in Paris last week. ACI awards its prizes by taking into consideration goals achieved in the areas of customer service, facilities, retail, security, community relations and environmental awareness and operations.

Judges considered the Naples airport for the significant improvements to the passenger experience and tourism development that made the airport a great economic driver of regional tourism. Recently the airport opened an archaeological itinerary for introducing tourists to Pompeii and other historical sites in the Campania region.

Venetians Vote to Ban Cruise Ships On Sunday, more than 18,000 Venetians voted in an unofficial referendum in favor of banning giant cruise ships from the city’s lagoon. About 99 percent said they wanted the ships to go away and offered alternative docking facilities. The referendum was the latest chapter in a saga that has dragged on for years by the locals who see the cruise ships as damaging the local environment and the visual impact on the World Heritage city.

Once Closed Exhibits at Naples’ National Archaeological Museum Reopened Rooms in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples that have been closed for years reopened to the public with “Amori Divini” (Divine loves) exhibition through October 16. The exhibition described a journey into the world of Greek mythology. It presents approximately 80 artworks including painting, jewels and ornaments from Magna Graecia as well as from Italian and international museums. The show tells the stories of mythical love affairs, in which at least one of the protagonists, whether human or god, changes form by turning into an animal, a plant, an object or an atmospheric phenomenon. When mortals and gods meet, they create a spark, sometimes of attraction, other times of repulsion. The rooms hosting the exhibition are characterized by geometric marble floor inlays and ancient mosaics inserted into the floors in the first half of the 19th century, including one from the belvedere of the Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. The floors have now been consolidated and cleaned to reveal their colors in all their glory.

HISTORY: THE WAR TO END ALL WARS – BEGINS-ENDS

By Jim Garamone American Forces Press Service

On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated at Sarajevo, Bosnia, which ultimately led to World War I. Five years later – on June 28, 1919 – the Versailles Peace Treaty was signed, which signaled the end of “The war to end all wars.”

They called it “The Great War,” and it was a titanic struggle that decimated Europe and killed the young men who were the brightest hope of that generation.

President Woodrow Wilson called it “The War to End All Wars,” but he was sadly mistaken.

When another conflict erupted 20 years later, “The Great War” became simply World War I. The war began in 1914 over “some damn foolish thing in the Balkans,” as German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck prophesied. A Serb nationalist stepped from a crowd in Sarajevo and shot the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, killing both.

Within weeks, the European continent was split into two camps, with Germany and Austria facing off against France, Russia and Great Britain. Millions of men fought on the Western and Eastern Fronts. All the combatants expected to make quick work of their enemies, but then all aspects of national power came to the defense of the nations, and the war quickly evolved into a stalemate.

Both fronts became killing machines, as generals and admirals, unused to the destructive power of the new technologies they now had at their command, still ordered attacks using the old rules of warfare. At the Battle of the Somme in 1916, 60,000 British soldiers were killed or wounded on just the first day. The Battle of Verdun – February to December 1916 – cost both German and French forces almost 800,000 casualties.

On the Atlantic, German submarines came close to strangling Great Britain as the tonnage of Allied shipping sunk rose.

The United States remained neutral through the war’s first years. Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 with the slogan “He kept us out of war.” But in 1917, Germany instituted unrestricted submarine warfare, and the U.S. Congress declared war.

The first American troops journeyed to France in June 1917.

Following a parade through Paris, Army Col. Charles E. Stanton said: “Lafayette, we are here,” a phrase that gave heart to the Allies.

Army Gen. John J. Pershing commanded the American Expeditionary Force. His mission was to join the fight, but only as an American Army under American commanders. The allies wanted American units piecemeal as replacements for their own decimated forces. Adding to this pressure was revolution in Russia and its pullout from the alliance.

German and Austrian forces could concentrate on the Western Front, and in a gamble that almost paid off, German forces attacked toward Paris before the Americans’ strength could be mustered.

French and British leaders asked for American units to stop the Germans. The 1st Infantry Division at Cantigny; the 2nd Infantry Division, which included the 4th Marine Brigade, at Belleau Wood; and the 3rd Infantry Division becoming known as the “Rock of the Marne” showed that Americans were up for the fight. Some 60,000 American soldiers and Marines had saved Paris.

From May until the armistice in November 1918, more than 50,000 Americans died in battle. More died of illnesses. At the war’s end – at “the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” – about 113,000 Americans had paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Diversity is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. During Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride month, we celebrate our rich diversity and renew our enduring commitment to equality with stories featuring the personal experiences of LGBT members.

The dedication and contributions of our Lesbian Gay and Bisexual (LGB) service members and Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) civilians have had immeasurable impact on our National Security and Department of Defense (DoD). This is the fourth of a series of four stories about being LGBT. The struggle for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) equality is one of pain, blood and triumph. One only need to look back a few short decades ago to see open and accepted violence and harassment of the LGBT community. There was no safe place for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgendered people to be themselves, to express their love for one another, or to wear clothing associated with their identities. In the 1960s, the lifestyle of the LGBT was a closeted existence. By day, LGBT men and women had to conform to societal norms or face the fiercest of reprisals; physical beatings sanctioned or ignored by law enforcement, verbal and sexual harassment, and, dependent upon the ability of the LGBT member to run or fight, even death. By night, LGBT had to seek out an oasis to join others of their community. Most of the time, these oases were bars, often disguised, and not unlike speakeasies from Chicago’s Prohibition era. In these small secluded clubs, LGBT people could let their guard down and enjoy each other’s company. Often, local police would raid these meeting places, for no other reasons than to vilify patrons or demand a higher payoffs from the bar owners. Many LGBT were brutalized. Photographers would be used by the police to document the “offenders.”

Charges, when arrests were actually used, ranged from disorderly conduct to lewd behavior.

This system of oppression and violence created a simmering anger among the LGBT community. On June 28, 1969, that simmering anger exploded. A preplanned raid by the New York City Police Department (NYPD) sparked the modern LGBT movement. The site for this unlikely revolution was a seedy dance bar in Greenwich Village, known as The Stonewall Inn. The bar was patronized by the most marginalized of the LGBT community, including Drag Queens, Transgenders, effeminate young men, lesbians, male prostitutes and homeless youth. The NYPD chose to raid the bar at 1:20 a.m. on Saturday morning, a particularly busy time at the bar and surrounding bars. The NYPD assumed the raid would be conducted, as had so many before, with minimal resistance from the patrons. For the first time, however, the patrons of the bar provided physical and defiant resistance to being attacked. Local citizens from nearby bars joined the fight, and for the first time, the NYPD found itself outnumbered and on the receiving end of the brutality it so readily inflicted. The clash triggered more protests the next night and later in the week. Within weeks, Greenwich Village residents organized into activist groups to concentrate efforts on establishing places for the LGBT to be open about their sexual orientation without fear of being arrested.

Stonewall marks only the first large scale resistance. It is an important historical date, a footnote for the world to see. For LGBT of today, it is essential that we pause and reflect on the bravery and personal sacrifice that Stonewall represents.

The struggles, sacrifices, and successes among the LGBT community continue to shape our history and remind us to uphold tolerance and justice for all. Integrity and respect are fundamental qualities of our military and civilian culture. We continue to take great pride in all that these men and women contribute to the nation and our mission. Their hard work, courage, and sacrifices make them respected members of our diverse military family.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

Nelson Mandela

Moving Children are Healthy Children

By Erica Elledge U.S. Naval Hospital Naples Occupational Therapist EDIS Program

Have you ever noticed how children never seem to stop moving? Even when children are sitting “still” they are still moving. An arm or a leg will be swinging, a little head bobbing around. Movement, particularly through play, is how children learn. When children move they experience and gain knowledge about the world around them. Just as importantly, they learn about their own bodies.

Movement teaches children body awareness. The feeling of where your body is located in space. Body awareness is our map to the world. For example, when we walk we go forward. When we climb we go up. A child’s ability to direct his body gives him the building blocks for higher level skills such as reading and writing.

In order to be successful, he needs to be able to look left to right when reading, or know how write by starting at the top of the paper and working towards the bottom.

Once a child gains a basic level of body awareness he still needs movement for learning. The most immediate benefit of movement is an increase in blood flow.

Blood carries water, oxygen and nutrients, all of which are needed for optimal brain function. Children who move have the fuel they need to explore and learn about their world.

Movement also activates a sensory part of our brain called the vestibular system.

When children move upside down, spin or roll it stimulates little hair cells in the inner ear (vestibular complex). Through regular movement children develop the body awareness and control needed for attention and learning.

Children need to move to stay healthy.

Children who do not move are at risk for obesity and other health problems, including diabetes. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that “a physically active lifestyle” should be a goal for all children. The AAP recommends parents, schools and community caregivers look for ways to promote and/or provide “enjoyable, life-long physical activity” for children.

The professionals at the Educational and Developmental Intervention Services program (EDIS) have specialized training in child development through play and movement.

EDIS is a program that was designed to help parents and caregivers of children with developmental delays gain the knowledge and skills they need to support their child’s optimal growth. EDIS professional services include: Speech language pathology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and instruction by early childhood special educators. EDIS provides services to infants and toddlers under the age of three who have a disability or developmental delay.

Military and civilian families in the Department of Defense (DOD) who live in the Naples service area are eligible.

Health care providers in the military treatment facility (MTF) can refer babies and toddlers to EDIS. As a parent you can also self-refer your child to EDIS. All services the EDIS teams provide are free of charge to eligible families. We are located in the Temporary Lodging Village Forum at Support Site, Room W09 (next to MVRO), or call us at DSN 629-4676 or Comm. 081-8114676 if you would like to consult with us about your child.

ENERGY CONSERVATION Reducing Energy Waste From Your Electronics From NSA Naples Energy Management Team

Activating the powersave function on your computer is a supereasy way to shave money from your utility bills. Exactly how much you save depends on whether you use a laptop or a CPU and a monitor and how long you leave your computer on.

One misconception from the days of older mainframe computers, is that equipment lasts longer if it is never turned off. Today’s computers and appliances are several generations smarter and better at conserving energy. Turn on the lower power mode: It helps equipment run cooler, which also means you don’t need to run the air conditioner to cool the room that is being heated by your computer or game console.

Many computers now have a sleep mode or power management feature. ENERGY STAR estimates that using these features will save you up to $30 each year on your electricity bills. Make sure you have the power-down feature set up on your PC through your operating system software. ENERGY STAR monitors consume two watts or less in sleep mode. Follow the instructions for your particular model to ensure power management features are enabled so your monitor will automatically go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity. You can save even more by manually turning off your monitor when you’re not using it; ENERGY STAR qualified monitors consume 1 watt or less when off.

Note that screen savers are not energy savers, and may use more energy than not using one, and the power-down feature may not work if you have a screen saver activated. Modern LCD color monitors do not need screen savers at all. Turn off your monitor when you walk away for 20 minutes and you’ll rack up even more savings.

Also, consider reducing the brightness setting of your television. Select the “home” mode because the “retail” or “vivid” mode (the default setting for most TVs) uses up to 25 percent more power, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Video game consoles, such as the Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360, use nearly the same amount of power when they are turned on and left idle as they do when you are actively playing a game or watching a movie. So why not save money each year by remembering to turn off your gaming system whenever you’re not using it.

The earth and your wallet will both appreciate it.

SOUND OFF: STAR WARS – WHO IS REY’S FATHER?

CTT1 Dustin Jack

IT2 John McElroy

“I think that Rey’s father is Emperor Palpatine because her fighting style is the exact same as his.”

“Rey’s Father is Luke because only a Skywalker can use a lightsaber without training.”

YNC Eric Nelson “IT’S LUKE! Rey’s father is Luke because she can use his light saber.”

YN2 William Harrison “I think Luke is Rey’s father just because she’s got the Force and didn’t have to train a lot to use it.”

USS Fitzgerald’s Deceased Sailors Identified From U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs

The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald returns to Fleet Activities Yokosuka following a collision with a merchant vessel while operating southwest of Yokosuka, Japan, June 17, 2017. Photo by Petty Officer 1st Class Peter Burghart

USS FITZGERALD

From page 1

Aucoin said the Fitzgerald’s commanding officer’s cabin was also directly hit, trapping Navy Cmdr. Bryce Benson, the commander, inside.

Benson is one of three injured Sailors who were transferred by helicopter to U.S. Naval Hospital Yokosuka for treatment after the collision. All three patients are alert and under observation at the hospital, he said.

Thanks Japanese for Assistance Shortly after the collision the U.S. made a request for support from the Japanese Coast Guard, which was the first on scene, according to a release.

Several U.S. Navy aircraft, as well as Japanese Coast Guard and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopters, ships and aircraft were deployed to render assistance to the Fitzgerald, a release said.

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force ships JS Ohnami, JS Hamagiri and JS Enshu were sent to join the JCG ships Izanami and Kano, according to a release. The U.S. Navy Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Dewey served as an escort for the Fitzgerald and has also returned to Yokosuka.

The admiral expressed his “most heartfelt appreciation to our Japanese allies for their swift support and assistance.”

Praises Crew’s ‘Heroic Efforts’ At today’s press conference in Yokosuka, Aucoin saluted the Fitzgerald crew’s “heroic efforts” that prevented the flooding from spreading, which could have caused the ship to founder or sink.

The crew, he continued, navigated the Fitzgerald into one of the busiest ports in the world with a magnetic compass and backup navigation equipment. One of two of the ship’s shafts became locked, he added.

“Because of the tireless damage control efforts of a resolute and courageous team, the ship was able to make its way back to port safely on its own power last evening,” Aucoin said in the release.

“The Fitzgerald crew responded professionally

as all Sailors are expected to fight the damage sustained to their ship. They are known as the "Fighting Fitz," and the crew lived up to that name,” the admiral added.

Navy Finds ‘A Number’ of Missing Fitzgerald Sailors Seven Fitzgerald Sailors were reported unaccounted for after the collision, and the Japanese Coast Guard launched a search effort, according a release.

After the Fitzgerald returned to its home port in Yokosuka, search-and-rescue crews gained access to the ship’s spaces that were damaged during the collision, according to a release.

At the press conference, Aucoin said the Navy “has found the remains of a number of our missing shipmates.”

He added, “Our deepest sympathies are with the families of these sailors. Out of concern for the families and the notification process, I will decline to state how many we have found at this time. We owe that to the families and friends of these shipmates and hope you can respect this process.”

The Sailors’ remains were transferred to Naval Hospital Yokosuka, Aucoin said, noting the “families are being notified and will be provided the support they need at this difficult time.

Please keep them in your thoughts are prayers.”

In a Twitter message issued yesterday, President Donald J. Trump said his “thoughts and prayers [are] with the Sailors of the USS Fitzgerald and their families. Thank you to our Japanese allies for their assistance.”

Investigations Aucoin said he’s initiating a Judge Advocate General Manual investigation into the collision, and that he’ll appoint a flag officer to lead that investigation.

There will also be a safety investigation, he added.

“We owe it to our families and the Navy to understand what happened,” Aucoin said. “I will not speculate on how long these investigations will last. But, more information on any further investigations will be forthcoming.”

“We are all deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our fellow shipmates as a result of Friday’s collision between USS Fitzgerald and a commercial container ship, and our thoughts and prayers are with their families. As details emerge, we can all be proud of the heroic effort by the crew to tend to the needs of those injured and save the ship from further damage while returning safely to port. The Navy family comes together during tragic events such as this and I want to thank those who continue to provide around-the-clock assistance to the affected families during these difficult days. I also want to express my most heartfelt appreciation to our Japanese allies for their swift support and assistance at this time of our need.In due time, the United States Navy will fully investigate the cause of this tragedy and I ask all of you to keep the Fitzgerald families in your thoughts and prayers as we begin the task of answering the many questions before us” Acting Secretary of the Navy Sean Stackley

These seven Sailors were killed when the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) was involved in a collision with the Philippine-flagged merchant vessel ACX Crystal.

The incident is under investigation.

Summer Heat Beating You Down Yet? From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Summer’s here and the weather has turned warm and people are heading to the beach and going on outdoor trips, and if they’re not having fun outside, they’re trying to beat the heat inside.

Here are some prevention tips to help you cope with the extreme summertime temperatures: ● Drink more fluids (nonalcoholic), regardless of your activity level.

Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink while the weather is hot. ● Don’t drink liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar– these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also, avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps. ● Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to the shopping mall or public library – even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help your body stay cooler when you go back into the heat. Call your local health department to see if there are any heat-relief shelters in your area. ● Electric fans may provide comfort, but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness.

Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off. ● Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-

fitting clothing. ● NEVER leave anyone in a closed, parked vehicle. ● Although any one at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others. Check regularly on: - Infants and young children - People aged 65 or older - People who have a mental illness - Those who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure ● Visit adults at risk at least twice a day and closely watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Infants and young children, of course, need much more frequent watching.

If you must be out in the heat: ● Limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. ● Cut down on exercise. If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. Warning: If you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage. Remember the warning in the first “tip” (above), too. ● Try to rest often in shady areas. ● Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat (also keeps you cooler) and sunglasses and by putting on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say “broad spectrum” or “UVA/UVB protection” on their labels).
