@ Night of Terror

In the early morning on January 12, 2011, one of Brazil's worst natural disasters began It was raining heavily north of Rio de Janeiro Twenty-six centimeters of rain fell in less than twenty-four hours This caused landslides of rock and mud

5 in the mountains While people in the towns of Teresopolis,

Nova Friburgo, and Petropolis were sleeping, the landslides

reached their houses After only a few hours, the area was under mud and rock, and several buildings collapsed

More than 900 people lost their lives Rescue workers 10 were amazed that there were no more deaths

Last night, many of those who survived were staying in

temporary shelters One brave survivor, Luiza Cides, said,

“tt often rains in this part of the country in January, but this was extreme | just want things to get back to normal now.”

15 Rescue helicopters were flying over the area day and night,

looking for survivors One pilot told us, “It’s more difficult

than a normal rescue flight because there are no roads to land on, and we can’t land in the mountains It’s exhausting

1 recuperation (n) 2 joints(n) 3 needle (n) 2 2: What's the Alternative?

Having an injury must be one of the most frustrating aspects of being an athlete You can’t train, you can’t compete, and the recuperation process can be long and uncertain So, if you break a bone or pull a muscle, what's the best solution? Some of us might choose modern medicine - having injections or taking pills Or, like athletes Kerri Walsh and Serena Williams, you could choose a natural alternative These sportspeople use Kinesio tape, a bandage which helps sore muscles and joints, to relieve pain naturally

Dr Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor, invented Kinesio tape more than 30 years ago = = He was looking for a natural way to treat muscle injuries He knew that using ordinary tape

could help injuries heal gradually, but it restricted movement So he invented a lightweight 0 tape which athletes could wear while warming up and taking part in sports

ư

Sumo wrestlers were the first athletes to try Kinesio tape Dr Kase gave them the tape to help prevent injuries and, surprisingly, it made their muscles feel better, too Dr Kase figured out that the tape could help heal injuries more quickly, and he thinks it may even work on animals, though as yet there is no solid scientific evidence to prove the tape works

a Kinesio tape’s advocates claim it protects and supports joints The tape lifts the first layer of skin, so blood can reach the injured area more quickly and easily This reduces pain, so the athlete’s muscles will be able to heal more comfortably, both during exercise and while they rest

American football players often use a different alternative therapy: acupuncture

0 Acupuncture involves sticking needles into different parts of the body to increase blood flow and relax muscles If players have injuries, if they feel stressed before a big game, or if they simply want to relax after working out, acupuncture can help Some players even say it can help them fall asleep

According to some people, these therapies can’t be as effective as modern medicine

because they are natural Others say that natural therapies only work if you believe they

work So, the next time you hurt your ankle, what are you going to choose?

Last night's performance by Circolombia was absolutely breathtaking This Colombian circus group, which has just completed a sell-out tour, amazed the audience with their impressive acrobatic skills Everywhere you looked, you could see someone performing a death-defying stunt, all to a reggaeton soundtrack With its combination of dance and circus, Circolombia is a world-class performance group, with

surprising origins

Watching these young performers walk tightropes and do

double somersaults with amazing confidence, it’s hard to

believe that they used to live in Poverty on the streets of

Cali, Colombia The creator of Circolombia, British-born

Felicity Simpson, has been involved with circus life for a

long time Since 1995, Simpson, a former circus performer,

has run circus skills workshops for street children in some of the poorest districts of Cali In 1997, she set up Circo

Para Todos (Circus for All) in an old car warehouse It was

the first professional circus school in the world specifically dedicated to children at risk and disadvantaged youth Since then, many children in Cali have received professional training in circus skills and had a chance to escape a life of hardship In 2006, Simpson formed Circolombia to allow the best graduates of Circo Para Todos to continue performing worldwide Circolombia now has around eighty-five

Permanent performers, between ages 17 and 28 on false friends 30 40 45 50

Jose Henry Caycedo Casierra is one of those talented graduates He has been Part of the circus since 1997 and has traveled the world with the group, taking Part in a lot of performances He now works as Circolombia’s training director Eighty-five students have graduated from Circo Para Todos since it began, and most of them have ended up working with the world's best circuses Fifteen of these eighty-five students have also

bought houses in Colombia, and they are

now able to support their families in a way that just wasn’t possible before Circo Para Todos has had a huge impact on the lives of these young people The circus develops the skills of its performance artists so that audiences

don’t focus on their origins, but on their

talent Circolombia’s performers can now look forward to exciting

careers and better lives for their families And we can look forward to many more of their crowd- pleasing performances
