One may not imagine that a quadriplegic can practice a team sport and compete at a high level, but that is the daily life for wheelchair rugby players. To play this game, created in Canada in 1976 by a group of wheelchair basketball players, you must have some function loss in at least three limbs and be ready for some heavy physical contact.

Quadriplegic: Quadriplegic a person who is permanently unable to move or feel both arms and both legs because of injury or illness. There are different levels of disability.

When it was created, wheelchair rugby was named murderball because of the extreme physical contact involved. That is, actually, one of the few similarities with actual rugby.

3

Ground Rules: How to Play Murderball Wheelchair rugby is played with two teams of four players that can be of both genders. Matches are split in four quarters of eight minutes each; in case the score ends up tied, three-minute periods are added on. The ball used is a volleyball.

The goal is to carry the ball until a player crosses the end line – just like a regular rugby try. A player may have possession of the ball for ten seconds only. If a team doesn’t score a point in forty seconds, they lose possession.

Physical contact between chairs is permitted, but striking another player from behind is considered a foul, as is any form of direct physical contact.

Players use manual custom-made wheelchairs, equipped with front bumpers and wings that help their performances, in addition to spoke protectors and anti-tip devices. They also use personal equipment, like gloves and adhesives, to improve gripping, and straps to help maintain their sitting positions.

Murderball, the movie In 2005, American filmmakers Henry Alex Rubin and Dana Adam Shapiro released Muderball, a documentary that helped make wheelchair rugby popular around the world. The movie was shot the previous year, focusing on the rivalry between the USA and Canada during the Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, in 2004. The low-budget production received many positive reviews; it won a Sundance Film Festival Audience Award and was nominated for an Academy Award.

Ryley Batt

THE HEROES

Australian wheelchair rugby player Ryley Batt is 26 years old and was born without both legs. The sport is the reason why he decided to actually use a wheelchair for the first time – until he was 12, Ryley only moved around on a skateboard.

Watching a demonstration at his school changed his life and, by the time he was 15, he became the youngest Paralympic athlete ever to play rugby. With the Australian Steelers (his country’s national team’s nickname), he won a silver medal in 2008, in Beijing, and a gold medal in 2012, in London.

When he’s not playing with the Steelers, Ryley leads the New South Wales Gladiators.

Josie Pearson Pearson was the first woman to compete in wheelchair rugby for England at the Paralympic Games in 2008. She was born in Bristol, England, in 1986 and, as a child, competed as a show jumper (a competition where you have to jump obstacles riding a horse). At the age of 17, she got involved in a car accident and became paralyzed, but retained some movements in her arms.

iconografia

Unable to continue riding, she started competing as a wheelchair racer when she met a wheelchair rugby player that recommended the sport to her. She started to train and were accepted in the Cardiff Pirates, leaving her neuroscience studies at Cardiff University to play. In November 2006 was selected to represent Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Paralympics.

Manga are Japanese-style comics, which have become popular worldwide. Everyone reads comics in Japan – they are simply another type of book. Manga stories are about all kinds of things – science fiction, romance, action and adventure, comedy, adult themes, business, detective stories, history, sports, horror, mystery, and more.

Anything you can find in an ordinary book you can find in a manga too.

When Did Manga Start?

After World War II, when America occupied Japan, the soldiers brought American comics, American films – especially Disney films – and American television shows. Artists began to copy them and to make their own Japanese versions of these comics and later, films. One Japanese character, Mighty Atom, or Astro Boy as he is known in English, was first published in 1952 by Osamu Tezuka and is still one of the most popular manga characters. American-style superhero characters – Batman, Superman – were not popular.

What Kinds of Stories Do You Find in Manga?

Manga were originally written mainly in two styles. Shōnen manga, aimed at boys, were about robots and science fiction, martial arts, terror, sports, and mythical creatures. All the main characters were men. Stories aimed at girls, called shōjo manga, were about daily life and the experiences of women. In both types of manga, the artists were mainly men.

What Is Anime?

Anime are Japanese animated cartoons which began to be made in the 1910s. They are shown in the cinema, on television, and direct to video. The Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was a big influence on anime.

Many popular manga are later remade as anime. One very popular type of anime features giant robots like the Gundam comics.

Manga in Brazil The first really popular manga-style comic published in Brazil was Pokémon: The Electric Tale of Pikachu, released in 1999. Published the following year, Saint Seiya and Dragon Ball had already been seen in Brazil as anime productions. More new and classic manga followed.

In 2003, JBC (Japan Brazil Communication) began publishing Japanese manga in Brazil, especially from Japanese artist group Clamp. Panini publishes the most popular manga titles in Brazil, Naruto and Bleach. Today you can find manga in other publishers too.

In 1969, a group of young female manga artists began to produce shōjo manga. New subjects appeared, like superheroines and romance stories. Today shōjo manga stories are more emotional and can feature groups of women working together. Female characters have become more important in shōnen manga too.

to Sen -ojo h Bis

gek iga

The gekiga style of manga is dark, realistic and sometimes violent.

With a more political style of storyline, it began to appear in the late 1950s, produced by artists who didn’t like the other styles.

Bishōjo manga features school-age girls, while sentō bishōjo is about groups of female warriors.

MarkMark Zuckerberg Zuckerberg

Early Years

Mark Zuckerberg

Hacking and Fencing

Everyone knows Mark Zuckerberg as the creator of Facebook and one of youngest billionaires in the world. How do you think his life as a child and teenager was?

He says the recipe for success is very simple: a passion for learning new things every day.

Mark was born in 1984 in a calm neighborhood in New York, USA. His first passion was science fiction. When he was around 13 years old, he had a party inspired

by Star Wars characters like Darth Vader, Yoda, and Luke Skywalker.

Mark Zuckerberg

Guess what his favorite toy was? A computer, of course! He got his first one when he was 10 years old. Two years later, his father helped him to program and connect two machines in different places – one at home and another at his father’s office. They called it ZuckNet. He also loved to create his own games.

Hacking: accessing a computer or a network without its owner’s permission.

Mark Zuckerberg

At high school, Mark and his friend Adam D’Angelo started hacking. They could get a computer to do anything they wanted. They also made an artificially intelligent music player that could learn what kind of music the user liked.

He liked to read a lot about Greek mythology and learned how to read in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew.

So now we know he didn’t become a phenomenon by chance. His future could only be brilliant!

Mark Zuckerberg

But he wasn’t just a computer geek, he also played sports. His favorite was fencing. With a sword and a mask, he did very well in his classes and became captain of the fencing team.
