It has been reported that alcohol is now 45% more affordable than it was in 1980, contributing to consumption levels reaching an all time high in 2005. However despite this the UK has since seen a gradual decrease in alcohol consumption: with the number of individuals having consumed alcohol in the last week decreasing each year, according to statistics from The ONS.
Desperately trying to increase these dwindling figures however are the alcohol brands, and one way in which they are eager to reach the consumer in a competitive marketplace is through placing branded content on Facebook.
The intentions of this ranking are to analyze a brand's engagement levels on social: to investigate how much value their branded content offers their community and ultimately, which tipple has the content to topple the ranking.
To compile this study, we have partnered again with The Grocer who provided us with our original source list of the top 20 best-selling alcohol brands in the UK, according to the IRI. We then found an active Facebook presence for 17 of the brands, and monitored their social performance for a one month period dating from September 7th to October 7th inclusively.
Within this time frame we extracted one post per brand which received the highest engagement rates. For the purpose of this report, an engagement is a like, comment or share over Facebook. Following this we awarded one point for a like, two for a comment, and three for a share – based on their value to the brand. These figures then totaled to form the combined score shown in the below ranking.
Below are the top performing pieces of content, from ten of the top 20 best-selling alcohol brands.
What value does the top performing content hold?However interestingly enough for the top three performing posts, less seems to be more…
The best things come in smaller packages!
The award for the top performing piece of content across all the alcohol brands over the set period of time is awarded to Blossom Hill, introducing a new series of 50cl bottles to their range.
Receiving just fewer than 30k engagements, smaller bottles definitely look like a huge hit amongst Blossom Hill's community but instead the visual resulted in around 600 desperate pleas from thirsty fans to increase the bottle size, as opposed to decreasing it. With this said, the content encouraged a vast amount of positive sentiment and brand advocacy.
The original Rock & Roll.
Here the famous Tennessee brand of Whiskey serves up a simple shot of the product on top of a black and white backdrop portraying a musician. The copy reads, 'The original Rock & Roll duo. Before Rock & Roll was invented.'
Simple but effective, proving less sometimes is more.
One carafe: two chalices.
With over 7 million fans on Facebook, Stella is definitely doing something right. The Belgian brand's top performing content is another simple product shot displaying the brand's cider offering; Raspberry Cidre.
A case of cider in exchange for ten engagements.
To celebrate the end of the summer, Carling offered to give away one case of British Carling Cider for every ten likes or shares the piece of content receives. Offering monetary gains in exchange for social engagement has definitely had an effect on the way Carling's community has engaged with this post: as this is the one piece of content to receive the highest amount of shares throughout all of the best-selling alcohol brands.
Sharing a post naturally increases its reach, a crafty way for Carling to get more eyes on their brand.
If only all sheds were like this.
Here Strongbow have created an image of a perfect haven for their beverage, tucked away at the end of the garden in a shed with nothing but the two flavours of the cider for company.
This content shares an entertaining idea, and encourages brand advocates to share their personal photos of similar set ups in their own homes, resulting in earned media.
It would be interesting to know if any Strongbow-inspired sheds were actually built after scrolling past this visual in a newsfeed!
Remaining consistent with other category reports, the most popular way for a fan to interact with an alcohol brand on Facebook is to 'like' a post, with these totals being considerably higher.
All of these above alcohol brands however have successfully managed to navigate themselves through the changes Facebook posed earlier in the year regarding squeezing a brand's organic reach. They appear to appreciate both the strengths and weaknesses of the borrowed media channel and adapted their strategy accordingly, often more than likely employing tactics of paid media to promote well-performing posts.

To see the full Alcohol report, head over to The Grocer.
Dole employed Headstream to support its marketing activities to promote Dole Baby. Creating and distributing content to promote its 'perfect match' app, we worked with partner brands to secure coverage with an ROI of 1,200%.
Using our customer journey framework, we worked with New Zealand yoghurt company The Collective Dairy to help them develop their social media strategy, identifying priority areas and recommending resource structure.
We work with Maxinutrition leading on social specific content, community management and paid social. Our work on the account is fast-paced, fun and delivers excellent results with over 50% of all traffic coming from social.
SAB Miller employed Headstream to help them explore the dynamics of reputation management in context of social media and the connected consumer, and identified how it impacted their crisis response teams and different brands.
Headstream worked with Shloer to kickstart their social media activity. Creating valuable content for existing consumers, as well as educating potential new consumers, Shloer's social profiles acted as their lifestyle content hub.
We helped WKD join the banter on social media. Through the creation of cheeky visual content we built a thriving Facebook community supported by paid social media, all whilst working toward the Portman Group's guidelines. Good times.

1. Outline Introduction to methodological principles Examples from past demonstration lessons Discussion
2. Methodological principles Methodological principles (MPs) are : universally desirable instructional design features motivated by theory and research findings
MPs 1-4 ACTIVITIES MP1Use task, not text, as the unit of analysis. MP2Promote learning by doing. INPUT MP3Elaborate input (do not simplify; do not rely solely on "authentic" texts). MP4Provide rich (not impoverished) input.
MPs 5-9 LEARNING PROCESSES MP5Encourage inductive ("chunk") learning. MP6Focus on form. MP7Provide negative feedback. MP8Respect "learner syllabuses" /developmental processes. MP9Promote cooperative/collaborative learning.
MP 10 LEARNERS MP10Individualize instruction (psycholinguistically, and according to communicative needs).
3. Demonstration lessons 1. Ms. Nagashima's lesson at Ueda Someya SHS Scene: Reasons to learn English Synopsis: Ms. Nagashima shows the main text (poem) for the first activity and tells students to think about their own reasons why they learn English. Part one: 0'00"-4'50"
Transcript for 1'17"-2'16" 1. OK. So, from today, I would like to start learning a new lesson. 2. Lesson one, lesson one. 3. And first of all, I gave this handout. Please look at this one. OK. 4. You have XXXXX. OK. 5. First of all, I would like to introduce... a poem, a poem that I wrote. 6. That is a poem that I wrote... this is the poem I wrote. 7. The title is "the reason why I learn English." 8. And I once introduced this poem to you, but I have been thinking why I have been learning English for (a) long time. 9. And I changed some parts. OK? 10. So this is kind of revised, changed one. OK? 11. So please listen to my reading. 12. This is... these are the reasons why I learn English. OK? Please listen.
Relevant MPs MP3: Elaborate input. Authentic texts are sometimes too difficult. Using them will often lead to non-communicative teaching (e.g., explanation of grammar rules; translation). Therefore, some changes are needed. Simplified texts are easier than the original. But there is nothing new to learn from the input. Elaborated texts are also easier than the original. And they keep some new (grammar and/or vocabulary) items.
3. Demonstration lessons 1. Ms. Nagashima's lesson at Ueda Someya SHS Scene: Reasons to learn English Synopsis: Ms. Nagashima shows the main text (poem) for the first activity and tells students to think about their own reasons why they learn English. Part two: 8'38"-15'30"
Relevant MPs MP9: Promote cooperative/collaborative learning.
3. Demonstration lessons 2. Mr. Koyama's lesson at Ueda SHS Scene: Debate: Is the stone structure natural or manmade? Synopsis: Students discuss possible reasons to support their positions. 28'00"-38'30"
Transcript for 32'35"-34'40" 13. T:OK, now I'd like to... hear your opinions. 14. T:Please stand up, Group number 1, 2, 3. 15. T:First, I'd like to hear... natural... 16. T:the structure was the natural one. 17. T: はい, anybody who can... はい Group 3. 18. S:We have two reason. 19. T:Oh. 20. S:First, it's hard [unclear pronunciation] to think... 21. T:Hmm? 22. S:It... it's hard... 23. T:It is hard, hard [emphasis on hard]. 24. S:... to think that... there was a civilization that was able to make. 25. T: え?最後は? (laughter) 26. S:... that was able to make.
Transcript for 32'35"-34'40" (continued) 27. T:Ah, able to make. OK. はい, OK, very good. 28. S: Second... (laughter) 29. T:What is the second reason? いいよ、いいよ、言って. 30. S:Stay. 31. T: え? 32. S:Second, urrr... the purpose... 33. T:Purpose. 34. S:... of this structure is... to defense... 35. T:To defend, you mean? 36. S: defense from another... enemy. 37. T: Defend from... another enemy. 38. S:Enemy (laughter)... だったら (laughter) 39. S:Another... structure should... err... be... somewhere. 40. T: Hmm. Hmm. Ah, should be! 41. T:Somewhere! Ah. OK! Very good! OK. Great! OK.
Relevant MPs MP9: Promote cooperative/collaborative learning. MP6: Focus on form. The primary focus should be on meaning. Ss' attention is briefly shifted to the form. It will induce "noticing". MP7: Provide negative feedback. Negative feedback is the T's response to a learner error. Types of negative feedback: clarification request, repetition of error, recast, explicit correction
4. Discussion Good points Teachers' use of English (input) [MP4] Primary focus on meaning Some (but not too much) attention to form [MP6, MP7]
4. Discussion Room for improvement More elaboration [MP3] Close attention to learner utterances [MP6, MP7]

Collaborative History
The Gelfand Endeavor in Massachusetts Schools (GEMS) teamed up with the Massachusetts Science & Engineering Fair (MSSEF) through its "Curious Minds Initiative" (CMI). The collaborative goal is to help increase the number of Massachusetts schools and teachers that use inquiry and project-based learning for teaching STEM. GEMS aims to inspire students through direct engagement in the discovery process and the excitement of science fair competition.
Over the past seven years, MSSEF data demonstrates that teams of teachers from a school are twice as successful as individual teachers in preparing their students for the science fair experience, suggesting the importance of multiple teacher participation and if possible, school-wide.
Through partnerships with individual schools and districts, GEMS provides science educators with the requisite training, resources, and tools to integrate real-world, inquiry-based learning activities into their existing curricula, and to create school-based Science & Engineering Fair Initiatives. GEMS has funded 46 Massachusetts public and charter schools over 3 to 5 years and is currently working with 20 schools (87% in high-needs districts).
Click here for a list of GEMS Schools supported by the Gelfand Family Charitable Trust
For more information on how to become a GEMS school, email us at: email@example.com
STEM Mentors for Students
MSSEF partners with school districts to create an after-school STEM mentoring programs for students. Professionals from local STEM businesses and STEM college majors help to both guide students working on independent research projects and to support STEM teachers.
In Lowell, MA – 200 middle school students joined after school STEM Clubs at all middle schools. Students work 1:1 with mentors as they develop independent research and innovation projects for the district's new science fair.

Tetsuzaemon Iba (射場 鉄左衛門, Iba Tetsuzaemon) is the captain of the 7th Division of the Gotei 13. He was formerly the 7th Division's lieutenant under Captain Sajin Komamura.
Iba has a distinctive hair cut and wears black sunglasses with his standard Shinigami uniform. He collects sunglasses, his main source being Gin Tonbo (銀蜻蛉, The Silver Dragonfly), the same shop where fellow Lieutenant Renji Abarai purchases his goggles. He also smokes and carries his Zanpakutō as a small blade inside his uniform. He has a large tattoo on his back consisting of a cat on fire and the kanji shōfuku (inviting luck). These features, plus his informal style of speech, are all strongly reminiscent of a typical yakuza. Seventeen months after Aizen's defeat, Iba has a fuller moustache and a new scar above his left eye.[5] His hair is also more shaven, with three hairless lines running through it.[6]
Ten years after Yhwach's defeat, Iba sports a crescent-shaped scar around the outside of his right eye and has a pompadour-like hairstyle.[2]
Iba enjoys fighting, like members of the 11th Division, but unlike many of them, puts his loyalty to his Division above his desire to fight and is not above retreating from battle. Iba tells Ikkaku Madarame that frontal assaults that lead to defeat are meaningless and that he must win however he fights.[7] Iba is very loyal to his captain, though in the week after Kaname Tōsen's betrayal, he spent a lot of time at the 11th Division headquarters in order to give his captain some space. Preceding their fight, Ikkaku mentions that Iba has become cockier since he left the 11th Division to become a lieutenant. Iba also seems to have recurring stomach problems, which he notes with shame on a few occasions. He and Ikkaku seem to have something of a working relationship, though it consists mainly of them dueling, drinking sake, then dueling again to see who has to get more.
He is also both extremely loyal and decisive, as seen during his encounter with Choe Neng Poww. With Captain Komamura having been knocked out of the battlefield, Iba grabs the injured Ikkaku (his former squad mate) and drags him away from Poww, refusing to abandon Ikkaku despite Ikkaku's protests and reasoning that Iba has a better chance of surviving if Iba would just let him be. When Komamura steps up to counter the Arrancar's attack, he tells Iba not to stray from his side and Iba immediately complied.
The macho-ist lieutenant is president of the Shinigami Men's Association and forces all members to dress like him at meetings, including wearing their uniforms and sunglasses in similar manners to his own. His meetings consistently have him as the butt of the jokes of the Shinigami Women's Association, consistently at odds with their vice-president Nanao Ise on their actions and manners. Iba is frequently in the company of the other male lieutenants and officers. He seems to share their penchant for perverted things related to the female Shinigami.
Iba speaks in a Hiroshima dialect and wants to spread its knowledge more, therefore at some point in the past he started a course on his own expense, but had to close it down due to lack of attendance. He currently pens an article in Seireitei Communication "Guys Corner" titled "The Hiroshima Dialect Seminar Brimming with Macho-ism." His favorite food is okonomiyaki, but only if it is done in Hiroshima style, while he detests the one prepared in Osaka style.[8]
Iba was originally the fourth seat of the 11th Division and Ikkaku Madarame's superior, but transferred to the 7th Division because getting promoted to lieutenant in the 11th Division was more difficult, if not impossible. It is rumored that he wished to become a lieutenant not out of personal ambition, but to please his mother, Chikane Iba. As a result, his former compatriots in the 11th Division look down upon him, as they deem the other divisions weaker than they are. In spite of this, he has a habit of hanging around their division's headquarters. Despite having left the 11th Division, it is clear he still enjoys a good fight, and during his duels with Ikkaku reveals a maniacal grin much like his sparring partner.[9][10][3]
Soul Society Arc
Iba attends the Lieutenants meeting with Renji and the other when the Ryoka invade the Seireitei.[11] Along with his captain, he visits Fourth Division compound with Kaname Tōsen to pay their respects to the deceased Sōsuke Aizen. The morning of Rukia Kuchiki's execution, he uses Bukkomi Dogeza (特攻土下座, "Full-Blast Dogeza")[12] to enter the room and apologize to his captain for his tardiness. He invents a story to justify the delay, though the actual reason is because he knows that Komamura is unsure of the decision, and wants to give him time to decide. Komamura sees right through this, but lets it go, understanding it as an act of compassion.[13]
Soon after that, Komamura and Tōsen take their lieutenants, Iba and Shūhei Hisagi, to challenge Kenpachi Zaraki because he freed Uryū, Chad, and Ganju from their cell with Orihime's direction and is leading them to Sōkyoku to stop the execution. Yachiru takes control and starts to lead the group ahead to Sōkyoku when the four Shinigami confront them. After Kenpachi claims he can take on all four, Yumichika Ayasegawa and Ikkaku Madarame complain that they want some action, and so Kenpachi lets them have Shūhei and Iba.[14]
Their fight ends up with the two sharing a bottle of sake. While they are resting from their fight, Ikkaku unwittingly reveals that Iba mastered all elements of Shinigami combat in order to become lieutenant. When Ikkaku mentions that he sounds unhappy, Iba denies it. When Ikkaku goes on to say that Iba has become lieutenant for his mother, Iba denies it again. Iba abruptly changes the subject by pointing out that they've run out of sake. After that they play rock-paper-scissors to see who gets the higher ground. Iba wins the rock-paper-scissors match, and before they begin both of them wonder who Byakuya Kuchiki is fighting on Sōkyoku Hill. Ikkaku states that it is Ichigo. Iba admits that he'd like to fight Ichigo, and Ikkaku tells him he has the spirit of the Eleventh Division. They decide that the loser of the match gets more sake while the winner rests, but remind each other that if either lets up, the other will die.[10] However, the match is interrupted by Isane's report on Aizen, Tōsen, and Ichimaru's betrayal.[15]
He later appears along with a majority of the other Shinigami at Sōkyoku Hill to capture Aizen, Gin, and Tōsen. When a beam of light crashes down on Aizen and starts taking him away, Iba attempts to attack and stop him. However, he is stopped by Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, who tells Iba that the beam of light is called Negacion and that the Menos use it to rescue their comrades. He continues to explain that the area inside the light is a completely separate dimension impenetrable from the outside and that as soon as the light came down Aizen became beyond their reach.[16]
Later, when Iba is at the Eleventh Division headquarters, he is hanging out with Yumichika, who notes, with some irritation, that it is awfully loud because of Ikkaku, Ichigo, and Kenpachi. Iba says it has been like that since Ichigo started hanging out with the Eleventh, but it is better than quiet. Yumichika asks why he is hanging out there, and Iba says that Komamura wants to be alone.[17]
Bount Arc (anime only)
Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
He is sent along with Marechiyo Ōmaeda to Rukongai to counter the Bount invasion, but is attacked by Jin Kariya and Gō Koga and quickly defeated.[18]
Fake Karakura Town Arc
When Aizen, along with his top three Espada and their Fracción arrive to attack the Fake Karakura Town, he along with his captain are among the Shinigami who defend it. He asks his captain if they should take down Aizen or the Espada first. Sajin replied that they should take out the Espada first.[19]
When Poww defeats Ikkaku Madarame, Iba's Captain Sajin Komamura saves Ikkaku. Komamura calls Iba, and Iba throws some rod items to stop the Fake Karakura from returning to normal. Iba realizes that Poww is almost twice the size of his captain, but when Poww releases his Zanpakutō, Iba is shocked. Komamura tells him to stay behind him as he releases his Bankai and defeats the Fracción.[20] After the fight, Iba reveals that he knows about Ikkaku's Bankai, and admonishes him for allowing the pillar to be destroyed because of his selfish desire not to reveal his true strength, and believing that because he is replaceable, it does not matter if he dies. Iba then tells Ikkaku that if he wants to do things his way, he must become stronger and win, even at the cost of his life.[7]
After the fight begins between Hisagi and Ayon, Iba momentarily steps in to attempt a surprise attack from Ayon's rear. He initially assumes that his movements have been successful in surprising the creature as it does not react, however, he is mistaken and he is suddenly blasted away by Ayon's Cero, after it reveals it's eye's true location.[21]
Along with the other injured Shinigami, Iba is treated by Izuru Kira, while Komamura stands by the barrier, after Yamamoto easily defeated Ayon.[22]
After the captains are able to outsmart Aizen and Hitsugaya stabs him from behind, Kira yells out that the captains have finally won. Iba tells him that he should look happier at this fact. All of a sudden, Momo gets up and starts to walk away and Iba and Kira ask her where she's going, but she doesn't answer. Momo then swings her Zanpakutō at them.[23] The two of them are cut down as Momo reveals herself as Aizen and that they were under his complete hypnosis the entire time.[24]
Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc (anime only)
Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
When his captain is defeated by his own Zanpakutō spirit, Iba and Hisagi carry and send him for medical treatment.[25] He later talks with Isane Kotetsu during the Zanpakutō's assault on the 6th Division barracks. They are then confronted by the manifested spirit of Ashisogi Jizō.[26] Soon the captain-level Zanpakutō activates its Bankai, ravaging the field.[27] Despite escaping, Iba is infected by Ashisogi Jizō's poison and faints. Iba is found by the 4th Division and treated.[28]
Beast Swords arc (anime only)
Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
With the threat of the Tōjū emerging after Muramasa's death, Iba is sent along with Hisagi, Kira, Ikkaku, and Hisagi's Zanpakutō Kazeshini to defeat a gang of the creatures that terrorize the Rukongai. Iba comments that Hisagi possessing a Zanpakutō like Kazeshini "must be awful".
Gotei 13 Invading Army arc (anime only)
Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.
When Ichigo arrives in Soul Society, Iba assists in his arrest, along with other senior Shinigami.[29] Later, Ikkaku appears with other members of the Gotei 13 in the Human World as they escape the Dangai and fend off Kagerōza Inaba.[30] After fending off Inaba and forcing him to retreat, Iba joins other members of the Gotei 13 as they hold a meeting in Ichigo's room.[31]
Tetsuzaemon participates in a meeting in Ichigo's room, where he listens to Nanao Ise reporting on the situation in Soul Society. Later, when the Reigai of Kenpachi Zaraki breaks out of Urahara's trap and arrives in the Human World, Tetsuzaemon and the other lieutenants arrive to help Ikkaku fight him. However, Ikkaku dismisses them, saying that they have their own opponents. When more Reigai arrive, Tetsuzaemon leaves to fight the new arrivals.[32] Tetsuzaemon is joined by Rangiku as they faced the Reigai of Komamura. The Reigai quickly overwhelms them with his sheer power and they are forced back to join their allies. Seeing how bad the situation, it is suggested they rely on Nozomi's newly acquired Shikai and its ability to absorb and redirect spiritual energy. Tetsuzaemon initially refuses, saying he doesn't fully trust her, but after some convincing, he grudgingly agrees. They launch their attacks on Nozomi, who then directs the accumulated energy on the Reigai, defeated all except for the Reigai-Byakuya, who then counters with a blast of his own, knocking everyone except for Ichigo and Nozomi out. Yamamoto arrives and quickly defeats the last Reigai.[33]
As the Reigai of Kyōraku and Ukitake arrive, an unconscious Tetsuzaemon, along with Izuru, Shūhei, and Rangiku are taken to Orihime to be healed.[34] With the arrival of Captain Unohana, Tetsuzaemon and the others are taken to the Shinigami's temporary base where she treats them. However, she states that their condition is severe.[35]
After recovering, Tetsuzaemon joins the other healed Shinigami and returns to Soul Society. There he finds his captain and joins him in facing their respective Reigai-counterparts.[36] Despite this assistance, the Reigai still pressure the Shinigami. Byakuya Kuchiki then realizes the truth behind the Reigai's battle style: they value self-preservation the most and won't attack first in fear of being outnumbered.[37] Later, the resurrected Ōko Yushima begins his endgame, using his Renzan: Hajō Kūri technique to begin destroying the Soul Society. Before the Shinigami can act, the Reigai step forward, saying that they will stop their fellow Mod-Soul's chaotic plan as their goal has always been to protect the Soul Society in their own way. Reigai then destroy the technique at the cost of their own lives.[38]
The Thousand-Year Blood War arc
While the captains are in a meeting, the lieutenants gather and discuss the situation with the Wandenreich and recent disappearances of Hollows and Rukongai residents. Iba listens as Izuru deduces that Shinigami were likely involved in the disappearance of the Rukongai denizens.[39] When the Sternritter invade Seireitei, he along with his Captain head out to deal with the invaders.[40] After heading out, Captain Komamura soon confronts Bambietta Basterbine, with Tetsuzaemon standing close by. He listens as Komamura explains that observing how the Wandenreich seal a Bankai and devising a way to counter this will be the key to the battle. Because of this, he is instructed to help him find a way to counter the Wandenreich's technique of sealing away Bankai.[41] However, to Tetsuzaemon's surprise, Komamura's Bankai is stolen rather than sealed.[42]
Some point later, he and the rest of the 7th Division are found to be lying on the ground from having difficulty fighting against Bambietta Basterbine. When Captain-Commander Yamamoto is detected to be heading to the front lines, Komamura orders Iba and the rest of the division to stand up. Rallied by Komamura's words on how shameful it is for the members for the Gotei 13 to be lying down while the Captain-Commander is at the front lines, Iba and the other Shinigami quickly rise up.[43]
Some time after the Wandenreich assault ends, Iba accompanies Komamura to a cave outside of Seireitei. While his captain ventures inside, Iba exercises while he awaits his captain's return.[44] Later Tetsuzaemon bears witness to the swift and complete invasion of Soul Society by the Wandenreich.[45]
After Komamura's battle with Bambietta Basterbine ends, Iba goes to his captain's location. He picks up his captain, who is now fully animal after his Humanization Technique expired. Iba then tells Komamura that they are going to defeat Yhwach and avenge Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.[46]
Some time after Yhwach's defeat at the hands of Ichigo Kurosaki, Iba was promoted to the position of captain of the 7th Division. Ten years after the war, when the cleanup of Seireitei was nearing its end, Iba was training with some of his subordinates atop a cliff-side training ground. He jumped from the cliff in order to greet Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Matsumoto, landing on his feet and placing a noticeable dent in the ground. After Hitsugaya makes an off-handed compliment about his work ethic, Iba replies that he still has plenty of training to undergo before his body is to be that of a captain's.[2] Shortly after, Iba is present at the First Division's barracks for the promotion ceremony of Rukia Kuchiki to the position of captain of the Thirteenth Division.[47]
Powers & Abilities
Expert Swordsman: Being a former member of the 11th Division, which specializes in combat, Tetsuzaemon is a highly competent swordsman. He is also known to spar with Ikkaku Madarame, a master swordsman, regularly.[48]
Hakuda Expert: Because he was working to become a lieutenant, Tetsuzaemon trained to become highly proficient in all forms of Shinigami combat, also becoming skilled in hand-to-hand combatant, only because it made becoming a lieutenant easier.[1]
Kidō Expert: Because he was working to become a lieutenant, Tetsuzaemon also became skilled in Kidō, only because it made becoming a lieutenant easier.[1]
Shunpo Expert: Tetsuzaemon is proficient enough in Shunpo to keep up with his captain, but is most likely of the same level as most lieutenants.
Great Spiritual Power: Being a captain of the Gotei 13, Tetsuzaemon boasts a great amount of spiritual energy.[2]
Enhanced Strength: Tetsuzaemon is able to support Sajin Komamura after the latter had been defeated by Aizen, even though Komamura is more than four times Tetsuzaemon's weight.[49] Iba can cut a building in half with a single slash of his sword.[50]
The name and abilities of Iba's Zanpakutō are unknown, as well as its Shikai command. When sealed, it looks like a tantō. Its hilt is red and it has no hand guard.[51] Iba usually keeps it inside his Shinigami uniform with the hilt sticking out.
- Shikai: In its Shikai, Iba's Zanpakutō extends into a falchion or a large bladed scimitar with a pick-like protrusion a short distance below the tip of the sword.
- Bankai: Not Yet Revealed
- Tetsuzaemon is author of Overflowing with Chivalry: the Hiroshima Dialect Cram School (漢だまりで男気あふるる広島弁講座塾, Kan da Mari de Otokoke Afuru ru Hiroshima Ben Kōza Juku) for the Seireitei News's feature, Manly Silence.[52]
- The blade of Tetsuzaemon's Zanpakutō was mistakenly shown to be longer in chapter 178.[53]
- "As to why he embarked onto the Path of The Man, to make his mom happy is the reason it seems." - Tite Kubo[1]
- (To Ikkaku Madarame) "I wasn't a do-it-all guy in the beginning, but instead of focusing on one thing, being more well-rounded means a better chance of promotion to lieutenant. Since my goal was to become a lieutenant, I decided to be a do-it-all guy."[54]
- (To Ikkaku Madarame) "When a man gets promoted so quickly, happiness is the only thing he feels."[54]
- (To Ikkaku Madarame) "Who would want to struggle to become a lieutenant for an old hag?"[55]
- (About Ichigo Kurosaki) "He's pretty strong, that Ryoka. So nice... It would be so nice if I could fight him once."[56]
- (To Ikkaku Madarame) "Your task here today was to 'protect the pillar'. However, your pillar was destroyed. Do you know why? It was because you were concealing your power. Now, if you want to get yourself killed concealing that power, that is your choice. However, you should never ignore orders for such a reason! Never cause your division to suffer a loss for your own personal reasons. As long as you are a member of the Gotei 13, your orders are absolute. Even if it means crushing your own wishes and your pride, you must enforce those orders with every fibre in your body!"[57]
- (To Ikkaku Madarame) "In your condition, you think to openly attack me? There is no meaning to a full-frontal attack if it leads only to defeat! Whether you run or you strike your enemy through, if you do not win, it holds no meaning!"[58]
- (To Ikkaku Madarame) "If you wish to adhere to your own wishes, then gain the strength to do so. But when you face the enemy, you must win no matter the cost. That is what it means to follow the proper order of things."[59]
- (To Sajin Komamura) "Let's get going, Captain. Your decision wasn't wrong at all. You have done nothing wrong. Let us do battle, Captain. Let us defeat him, that wretched Yhwach, for Yamamoto Genryūsai-dono."[60]
- (To Tōshirō Hitsugaya) "I still don't feel like I'm really captain material. If I were to skip out on training, I don't think I'd be able to hold my head high in this job!"[61]

The end of the Pap smear
The government announced on Monday the end date for the Pap smear. On December 1, it will be superseded by a new test for the human papilloma virus (HPV).
The Pap smear detects pre-cancerous cellular changes and has been the cornerstone of the National Cervical Screening Program since its implementation in 1991. It has served Australian women extremely well and resulted in one of the lowest rates of cervical cancer in the world.

Simmering concern among Conservative MPs about the Coalition Government's direction boiled over yesterday as David Cameron was accused of making too many policy concessions to the Liberal Democrats.
Tory backbenchers vented their anger at Prime Minister's Questions amid concerns that Nick Clegg has forced Mr Cameron to water down policies on Europe, free schools, tax cuts, human rights, NHS reforms, elected police commissioners and abortion.
Yesterday a Tory-led move to tighten the abortion laws was rejected by the Commons after Mr Clegg had prevented the Government from backing it. MPs voted 368-118 against a ban on women seeking an abortion receiving counselling from organisations that carry out terminations.
Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP who proposed an amendment to the Bill, accused Mr Cameron of giving in to Liberal Democrat "blackmail" over abortion. She told the Commons that the Prime Minister was initially "very encouraging" about her move but was then placed in an "impossible position" by the Liberal Democrats. She asked him to show Mr Clegg "who is the boss". Mr Cameron replied that he knew Ms Dorries was "extremely frustrated", provoking laughter in the Commons. He sat down amid the uproar, saying he had to "give up" on answering.
Ms Dorries was not amused and Labour accused Mr Cameron of being patronising towards women. Angela Eagle, a Shadow Cabinet member, said: "I thought that little comment about Nadine Dorries... was really nasty, premeditated and totally uncalled for."
One Tory MP added: "The Prime Minister's behaviour was despicable. It was the worst of the Bullingdon [Club]. It was a total demolition of Nadine Dorries on a personal basis."
Ms Dorries took comfort from a pledge by Anne Milton, a Health minister, to launch a consultation exercise on counselling for women considering an abortion. Ms Milton said the Government was "supportive of the spirit of the amendment" and would bring forward proposals for regulations.
Mr Clegg and Ed Miliband voted against the move, while Mr Cameron did not vote. Tory MP Mark Reckless said: "The Prime Minister has listened to Liberal Democrat colleagues by delaying police [commissioner] elections until November next year. Will he now listen to Conservative colleagues and take the opportunity to hold a referendum on Europe?"
Mr Cameron replied: "I want us to be influential in Europe about the things that matter to our national interest... but I do not see the case for an in/out referendum on Europe." His aides denied that the Liberal Democrat tail was wagging the Coalition dog.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to insulin glargine: subcutaneous solution
Adverse reactions associated with insulin glargine (the active ingredient contained in Toujeo Solostar) include hypoglycemia, allergic reactions, injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, pruritus, rash, edema, and weight gain.[Ref]
The ORIGIN (Outcome Reduction with Initial Glargine Intervention) trial, an open-labeled, randomized study comparing insulin glargine (the active ingredient contained in Toujeo Solostar) to standard care in persons 50 years or older with abnormal glucose levels (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance) or early type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular (CV) disease or CV risk factors, found over the course of the 6 year study, severe hypoglycemia occurred in 5.7% of patients receiving insulin glargine compared to 1.9% in the standard care group. The median HbA1c values in the insulin glargine group ranged from 5.9% to 6.4% while the HbA1c values in the standard care group ranged from 6.2% to 6.6%. The incidence for all hypoglycemia was 58% and 26% in the insulin glargine and standard groups, respectively.
Weight gain has been reported with insulin therapy and has been attributed to the anabolic effects of insulin and the decrease in glucosuria. In the ORIGIN trial, the median change in body weight from baseline to the last treatment visit was 2.2 kg greater in the insulin glargine group (+1.4 kg vs -0.8 kg).[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Hypoglycemia
Frequency not reported: Weight gain[Ref]
Injection site reactions include redness, pain, itching, hives, swelling, or inflammation. In some cases, these reactions may be caused by other factors, such as irritants in skin cleansing agents. In clinical studies, there was a higher incidence of treatment-emergent injection site pain in insulin-glargine treated patients compared to NPH-treated patients (2.7% vs 0.7%).[Ref]
Common (1% to 10%): Injection site reactions, injection site pain[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have included both local and systemic reactions. Anaphylaxis has been reported. Local reactions have presented as erythema, local edema, and pruritus at the injection site. Most minor reactions to insulin at the injection site resolve in a few days to a few weeks.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Allergic reactions[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Hypertension (up to 19.6%)
Common (1% to 10%): Peripheral edema[Ref]
Insulin may cause sodium retention and edema, especially as metabolic control is improving. The ORIGIN (Outcome Reduction with Initial Glargine Intervention) trial, an open-labeled, randomized study in persons 50 years or older with abnormal glucose levels (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance) or early type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular (CV) disease or CV risk factors, found the time to first occurrence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) and the incidence of MACE to be similar between insulin glargine and standard care (n=12.537).[Ref]
Postmarketing reports indicate children and adolescents may experience more skin reactions such as rash and urticaria, than adults.[Ref]
Common (1% to 10%): Lipohypertrophy
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Lipoatrophy
Postmarketing reports: Rash urticaria[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Cancer occurrence[Ref]
The ORIGIN (Outcome Reduction with Initial Glargine Intervention) trial, an open-labeled, randomized study in persons 50 years or older with abnormal glucose levels (impaired fasting glucose and/or impaired glucose tolerance) or early type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular (CV) disease or CV risk factors, comparing insulin glargine to standard care found the overall incidence of all types of cancer combined or death from cancers was similar between treatment groups (n=12,537). In July 2009, The US FDA reported on an ongoing safety review evaluating a possible increased risk of cancer. In February 2011, the FDA in an updated communication reported the evidence was inconclusive and it is not possible to conclude that the use of this insulin increases the risk of cancer.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Antibody formation[Ref]
As with all therapeutic proteins, the potential for immunogenicity exits. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay and may be influenced by assay methodology, sample handling and collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. The presence of insulin antibodies may increase or decrease the efficacy of insulin and may require dose adjustment.[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Visual impairment, retinopathy[Ref]
Rapid improvement in glucose control has been associated with a transitory, reversible ophthalmologic refraction disorder and worsening of diabetic retinopathy. However, long-term glycemic control decreases the risk.[Ref]
Common (1% to 10%): Gastroenteritis[Ref]
Rare (less than 0.1%): Myalgia[Ref]
Nervous system
Common (1% to 10%): Headache
Very rare (less than 0.01%): Dysgeusia
Frequency not reported: Peripheral neuropathy[Ref]
Rapid improvement in glucose control has been associated with a transitory, reversible acute painful peripheral neuropathy. However, long-term glycemic control decreases the risk.[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Upper respiratory infection (up to 22.4%)
Common (1% to 10%): Pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis[Ref]

Calcium Rich Foods For Babies?
Here are some rich sources of calcium for babies:
- Dairy products including yogurt, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, butter and more.

A local storm that swept across Mecca brought heavy rains, which may have resulted in the collapse of cranes around the Grand Mosque of Mecca.
RT reports:
According to Saudi Interior Ministry, at least 154 more people were injured in the incident.
The tragedy comes ahead of the annual Hajj pilgrimage which is due later this month. Millions of Muslims from around the world will converge on the holy city between September 21-26.
Local media reports suggested that the accident occurred due to heavy rains the Kingdom. The governor of the Makkah region, the capital of which is Mecca, Prince Khalid al-Faisal has ordered the launch of an investigation into the causes of the accident.
The BBC is reporting that 87 were killed and more than 180 people were injured.
A major expansion of the mosque site began in 2014 so that it might be able to accommodate up to 2.2 million people at once. I'm guessing they don't have those international fire codes imposed upon them in Mecca.
The mosque surrounds the infamous and occultic Kaaba, the most sacred site in Islam. It's a place where many Muslims travel on the Hajj pilgrimage in a similar manner to how Rome tried to press the same superstitions on the Christian world.
I find it interesting that this should happen on the 9/11.
Believers, if God would take down the fishgod Dagon all by Himself in the little god's very temple (1 Sam. 5), what makes you think He would not fight the battle on behalf of His people if they would but repent and trust Him to do so? If He would turn the people of Midian against each other on behalf of His people (Judges 7), what makes you think He would not do the same for His people today? If He would cause the walls of Jericho to come crashing down around the enemies of the people of God (Joshua 6), what makes you think He would not bring about the same kind of results today?
The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. -Exodus 15:3
You think that was just for Old Testament Israel? It isn't. The New Testament is filled with references to the people of God (Acts 7:38), as the Church (Israel) (Gal. 6:16), made of Jews and Gentiles (Eph. 2:11ff). Today's Geo-political Israel is not the people of God. They reject the Messiah and as such are considered anti-Christs by the apostle John (1 John 2:22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7) and the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:9; 3:9). Those who are of the same faith as Abraham are the children of Abraham (Gal. 3:7-14), whether Jew or Gentile, and thus, the children of God (John 1:12-13).
Let us, as the people of God repent towards God of our wicked ways and see him not only heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14), but also destroy our enemies (Exodus 23:27; Psalm 18:40; Psalm 143:12) and bring many to the Lord Jesus Christ (John 12:32) before us for His glory!

In an interview with Japanese MotoGP Expert Akira Nishimura, Masao Furusawa revealed how Ducati approached him to ask for his help to improve the Ducati Desmosedici.
An instrumental figure in Valentino Rossi's success at Yamaha, Masao Furusawa - the firm's then Executive Officer of Engineering Operations, was recently approached by the Head of Ducati Corse, Filippo Preziosi to discuss ways to improve the Desmosedici GP12, a bike on which Rossi was only able to score a single podium this year in mixed conditions at le Mans.
In an interview with Akira Nishimura, Furusawa gave a detailed account of his talks with Filippo Preziosi held in Italy at the end of July.
"I gave him a talk about very fundamental things, such as how the motorcycle should be designed. He looked very impressed and wanted me to lecture his colleagues about it. Two days later, Filippo took his chassis engineer with him and we spoke once again in his home," explains Furusawa, who left Yamaha after the 2010 season - Rossi's last campaign for the Japanese factory before joining Ducati.
"I cannot disclose the information related to the Yamaha, and we didn't discuss anything in the details. I have just explained them about my approach and the way of thinking, especially what I had done in 2004. For example, 'centroid triangle' - which is a triangle made from front and rear contact point with the ground and the center of the gravity of the bike - shouldn't be shaped like this or that (gestures with his fingers to show the vertex goes too far to the front or rear side). Or, when they refer to the suspension, they always measure and express with the 'stiffness'. But, my approach is different. I would take a look at a 'frequency' of suspensions and try to make the front and rear frequencies as close to the same as possible. It makes the weight-transfer of the bike smoother. Although they are just generalities, I could manage with our bikes in those scientific approaches. What I explained to Filippo was those kinds of ideas of mine and the way of thinking."
"I had to ask him why he had called me. If I joined them and got good results, it would prove his previous developments had been wrong. Or, if I joined them and couldn't do any good, it would also prove his decision was wrong. I asked him 'Either way, it will be inevitable that you have to take responsibility. How come you have to take such a big risk?' Filippo immediately answered with composure. 'It doesn't matter if I lose my position. I don't care at all. All that I care is one thing; to make our bike better.' When I heard his remarks I thought in my mind: Filippo, you have a real Samurai spirit..."
In the full interview, Furusawa also explained how he visited Rossi during his short stay in Italy, as the rider had heard about his long-time friend and key collaborator's visit to his current employer.
With Rossi on his way to Yamaha for the two next seasons, and as Furusawa didn't want to create any friction between Ducati and Yamaha, this intriguing visit won't lead to any form of collaboration.
