She was the subject of controversy when, at 8 years of age, fashion photos of her were displayed around the world. Featherstone&apos;s pictures were used to market goods in the Australian and Asian markets, but they generated a public backlash when her mature poses were seen as the naturalized sexualization of young girls&apos; bodies. According to her parents looking older was not the intention.&lt;br /&gt; The publicity generated helped to boost her career; she flew to Hollywood to audition for roles in the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful and the drama Charmed, and she was also signed with a cosmetics company in a deal worth tens of thousands of dollars and signed with model agents in Berlin, Tokyo and Los Angeles. She was also the subject of German and British documentaries, and signed a financial contract with Scottish documentary makers Wark Clements in 2004.&lt;br /&gt; Featherstone was the youngest ever cover model on &quot;Who Weekly&quot; magazine (August 25, 2003) and has also appeared on the covers of Australian magazines &quot;New Idea&quot;(twice),&quot;Woman&apos;s Day&quot;, London&apos;s celebrity magazine &quot;Celebs&quot; (May 23, 2004) and numerous others worldwide. Photos of Featherstone with celebrities such as Delta Goodrem, Cameron Diaz, Alyssa Milano, Rose McGowan, Kiss, Cold Chisel, the Veronicas, Anthony Mundine and Brian McFadden have appeared in numerous magazines around the world and Featherstone appears in a Gene Simmons DVD being bounced playfully on Simmons knee. When asked about Featherstone Simmons replied &quot;she will go on to big things, I&apos;m sure of it&quot;.Featherstone is also an admirer of Simmons having stated in several interviews how she is impressed by his strong views against any use of drugs or alcohol.&lt;br /&gt; Featherstone was used as the feature model in newspaper stories (Courier Mail 14/7/2006) based on research conducted which suggested good-looking people are more intelligent. The article highlighted her academic achievements countering suggestions that her modeling career would hamper her schoolwork. Despite intense media speculation that her modeling career would cause long-term harm to her development it appears from media articles that the opposite has occurred with journalists commenting on her friendly and down to earth personality.&lt;br /&gt; This was highlighted in September 2007 when Featherstone appeared in a two page article in Sydney&apos;s Daily Telegraph (Daily Telegraph 20/9/2007) with the headline &quot;From Child Model to Model Child&quot; and on Channel 9&apos;s &quot;A Current Affair&quot; highlighting her modeling and academic achievements and detailing her wishes to be involved in animal conservation. She rejected claims that her modeling career ruined her childhood and said she would be happy to stop modeling if it meant she could realize her dreams of working with animals.&lt;br /&gt; In October 2007, Featherstone appeared in a two page article in Australia&apos;s Woman&apos;s Day magazine (October 15, 2007) where she stated she would never smoke, drink alcohol or take drugs. When asked what she would do when someone asked her to try them she replied she would tell them that &quot;I haven&apos;t been hit by a car yet and I don&apos;t want to try that either&quot;.&lt;br /&gt; In November 2007 Featherstone held a fashion parade in Brisbane City that raised $10 000 for charity. Unconfirmed media reports have recently stated Featherstone is currently registering a charity to raise funds for under-privileged children. When asked about the charity Featherstone refused to confirm or deny the story and stated &quot;I don&apos;t like to talk about things that haven&apos;t happened yet, particularly things that take so long to organise&quot;.&lt;br /&gt; Featherstone appeared on Australian current affairs program &quot;Today Tonight&quot; (February 26, 2008) in a story that labelled her as &quot;Australia&apos;s youngest home owner&quot; where she proudly showed off her 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house she was in the middle of renovating.&lt;br /&gt; In the same week Featherstone&apos;s photo was used as a background photo on Australian television breakfast program &quot;Sunrise&quot; for an interview with Doctor Karen Brooks about bad role models for children. Also featured in the interview were Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Brooks has attacked Featherstone viciously in the media about being a bad example for other children numerous times since 2003. Featherstone has stated that she has never met Brooks but &quot;she is allowed to have her opinion about me. Miss Brooks has never...(and so on)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also see some feature products :&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-video_camera_infrared/&quot;&gt;video camera infrared&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-hair_mask/&quot;&gt;hair mask&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-women_electric_shaver/&quot;&gt;women electric shaver&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-food_coloring_powder/&quot;&gt;food coloring powder&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-ageless_skin_care/&quot;&gt;ageless skin care&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-citric_acid_powder/&quot;&gt;citric acid powder&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-crystal_glass_nail_file/&quot;&gt;crystal glass nail file&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-12000btu_air_conditioner/&quot;&gt;12000btu air conditioner&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-bio_skin_care/&quot;&gt;bio skin care&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-cotton_floss/&quot;&gt;cotton floss&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-portable_infrared/&quot;&gt;portable infrared&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-shoe_polish_cream/&quot;&gt;shoe polish cream&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-microfiber_towel_hair/&quot;&gt;microfiber towel hair&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-soap_lotion/&quot;&gt;soap lotion&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-fruity_lip_gloss/&quot;&gt;fruity lip gloss&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-loofah_soap/&quot;&gt;loofah soap&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-laser_hair_comb/&quot;&gt;laser hair comb&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-slim_patch/&quot;&gt;slim patch&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-wooden_hair_brush/&quot;&gt;wooden hair brush&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-treatment_shampoo/&quot;&gt;treatment shampoo&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.maggz.com/buy-natural_lip_gloss/&quot;&gt;natural lip gloss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Cosmic rays consists of high energy protons and other nuclei. They are one of the most important barriers standing in the way of plans for interplanetary travel by crewed spacecraft.&lt;br /&gt; Contents&lt;br /&gt; 1 The deep-space radiation environment &lt;br /&gt; 2 Effects &lt;br /&gt; 3 Mitigation &lt;br /&gt; 3.1 Shielding &lt;br /&gt; 3.2 Drugs &lt;br /&gt; 3.3 Timing of missions &lt;br /&gt; 4 See also &lt;br /&gt; 5 Notes &lt;br /&gt; 6 References &lt;br /&gt; 7 External links &lt;br /&gt; // &lt;br /&gt; The deep-space radiation environment&lt;br /&gt; The radiation environment of deep space is very different from that on the earth&apos;s surface or in low earth orbit, due to the much larger flux of high-energy galactic cosmic rays (GCRs), along with radiation from solar proton events and the radiation belts.&lt;br /&gt; Life on the earth&apos;s surface is protected from galactic cosmic rays by a number of factors:&lt;br /&gt; The earth&apos;s atmosphere is opaque to primary cosmic rays with energies below about 1 GeV, so only secondary radiation can reach the surface. The secondary radiation is also attentuated by absorption in the atmosphere, as well as by radioactive decay in flight of some particles, such as muons. &lt;br /&gt; Shielding by the bulk of the planet itself cuts the flux by a factor of two. &lt;br /&gt; Except for the very highest energy galactic cosmic rays, the radius of gyration in the earth&apos;s magnetic field is small enough to ensure that they are deflected away from Earth (&quot;geomagnetic shielding&quot;); &lt;br /&gt; The sun&apos;s magnetic field has a similar effect, tending to exclude galactic cosmic rays from the plane of the ecliptic in the inner solar system. &lt;br /&gt; As a result the energy input of GCRs to the atmosphere is negligible about 10?9 of solar radiation - roughly the same as starlight.&lt;br /&gt; Of the above four factors, all but the first one apply to low earth orbit craft, such as the International Space Station. Therefore, the only astronauts who have ever been exposed to a significant radiation flux from galactic cosmic rays are those in the Apollo program. Since the durations of the Apollo missions were days rather than years, the doses involved were small compared to what would occur, for example, on a crewed mission to Mars.&lt;br /&gt; Effects&lt;br /&gt; Like other ionizing radiation, high-energy cosmic rays can damage DNA, increasing the risk of cancer, cataracts, neurological disorders, and non-cancer mortality risks.&lt;br /&gt; The Apollo astronauts reported seeing flashes in their eyeballs, which may have been galactic cosmic rays, and there is some speculation that they may have experienced a higher incidence of cancer. However, the duration of the longest Apollo flights was less than two weeks, limiting the maximum exposure. There were only 24 such astronauts, making statistical analysis of the effects nearly impossible.&lt;br /&gt; The health threat depends on the flux, energy spectrum, and nuclear composition of the rays. The flux and energy spectrum depend on a variety of factors: short-term solar weather, long-term trends (such as an apparent increase since the 1950s), and position in the sun&apos;s magnetic field. These factors are incompletely understood. The Mars Radiation Environment Experiment (MARIE) was launched in 2001 in order to collect more data. Estimates are that humans unshielded in interplanetary space would receive annually roughly 400 to 900 mSv (compared to 2.4 mSv on Earth) and that a Mars mission (12 months in flight and 18 months on Mars) might expose shielded astronauts to ~500 to 1000 mSv. These doses approach the 1 to 4 Sv career limits advised by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements for Low Earth orbit activities.&lt;br /&gt; The quantitative biological effects of cosmic rays are poorly known, and are the subject of ongoing research. Several experiments, both in space and on Earth, are being carried out to evaluate the exact degree of danger. Experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory&apos;s Booster accelerator revealed that the biological damage due to a given exposure is actually about half what was previously estimated: specifically, it turns out that low energy protons cause more damage than high energy ones. This is explained by the fact that slower particles have more time to interact with molecules in the body.&lt;br /&gt; Mitigation&lt;br /&gt; Shielding&lt;br /&gt; Material shielding may be partially effective against galactic cosmic rays in certain energy ranges, but may actually make the problem worse for some of the higher energy rays, because more shielding causes an increased amount of secondary radiation. The aluminum walls of the ISS, for example, are believed to have a net beneficial effect. In interplanetary space, however, it is believed that aluminum shielding would have a negative net effect.&lt;br /&gt; Several strategies are being studied for ameliorating the effects of this radiation hazard for planned human...(and so on)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also see some feature products :&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-Micro_Computer_Case/&quot;&gt;Micro Computer Case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-dell_laptop_case/&quot;&gt;dell laptop case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-wooden_tool_case/&quot;&gt;wooden tool case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-leather_cellphone_case/&quot;&gt;leather cellphone case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-discount_travel_luggage/&quot;&gt;discount travel luggage&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-discount_rolling_luggage/&quot;&gt;discount rolling luggage&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-nine_west_luggage/&quot;&gt;nine west luggage&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-bags_/_case/&quot;&gt;bags / case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-ata_shipping_case/&quot;&gt;ata shipping case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-ipod_shuffle_case/&quot;&gt;ipod shuffle case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-thomas_whlde._cases/&quot;&gt;thomas whlde. cases&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-kodak_camera_case/&quot;&gt;kodak camera case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-pc_watch_case/&quot;&gt;pc watch case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-handbag_wallet_luggage/&quot;&gt;handbag wallet luggage&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-ipod_video_case/&quot;&gt;ipod video case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-power_acquisition_case/&quot;&gt;power acquisition case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-field_desk_case/&quot;&gt;field desk case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-promotion_products/65292;lamp_case/&quot;&gt;promotion products/65292;lamp case&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-paper_board_cases/&quot;&gt;paper board cases&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-mp3_leather_cases/&quot;&gt;mp3 leather cases&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qualitydress.com/buy-PDA_Aluminum_Case/&quot;&gt;PDA Aluminum Case&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
