Teenagers (song)
Short description
"Teenagers" is a song by the American rock band My Chemical Romance from their third studio album, The Black Parade (2006). An "anthemic" song which has been described as punk rock, glam rock, southern rock, and emo, "Teenagers" was inspired by frontman Gerard Way's fear of teenagers, with lyrics addressing apprehension towards teenagers and teenage gun crime. The song was written by band members Bob Bryar, Frank Iero, Ray Toro, Gerard Way, and Mikey Way, and was produced by the group alongside Rob Cavallo. The track was released as the album's fourth and final single on July 9, 2007. "Teenagers" has charted in multiple countries, including in the United States where it reached #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007, and #16 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart in 2019 following the announcement of the band's reunion. The track was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying certified sales of 4 millions units. The single also peaked at #9 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming one of three by the band to reach the Top 10, and was certified two-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The accompanying music video for "Teenagers", directed by frequent collaborator Marc Webb, depicted the band performing in a high school gymnasium before being attacked by a horde of fans. The song has received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its catchiness and considered it a standout both on The Black Parade and in the band's discography as a whole. My Chemical Romance has included "Teenagers" on the set lists of their various live performances, including that of their reunion tour, and the track has been covered by various recording artists. "Teenagers" has also been widely used on the app TikTok, particularly in July 2022 as both a protest song against the overturning of Roe v. Wade and as part of a social media trend.

Background and release
Background and release My Chemical Romance began writing their third studio album, The Black Parade, in early 2006 at S.I.R. Studios in New York. There, frontman Gerard Way expressed an interest to create an album which explored life and death, but contained his real fears "buried under layers of pomp and circumstance". "Teenagers" was conceived as part of these early sessions; Gerard Way explained in an interview with Take 40 Australia that the song was primarily written while he was riding the New York City Subway, as he found himself scared of high schoolers in a train car and began to wonder if he was out of touch with the youth. Following the completion of The Black Parade, My Chemical Romance biographer Tom Bryant noted how certain executives at Warner Records wished for "Teenagers" to be released as the album's first single; this was ultimately rejected in favor of "Welcome to the Black Parade". The song was first announced as the eleventh song on the album on September 13, 2006, and was released alongside the album on October 23, 2006. "Teenagers" was subsequently released to American alternative radio stations on May 15, 2007, and was officially released as the album's fourth single on July 9, 2007. The song was later included on the 2008 live album and DVD The Black Parade Is Dead!, which featured the final show performed on The Black Parade Tour. The song was also included on May Death Never Stop You, the band's 2014 greatest hits album, and on The Black Parade/Living with Ghosts (2016), the 10th-anniversary reissue of The Black Parade.

Composition and lyrics
Composition and lyrics "Teenagers" is an anthemic song which has been described as punk rock, glam rock, southern rock, and emo. Instrumentally, the song begins with a simple guitar riff consisting of hammer-on notes and palm muting; a vibraslap can also be heard prior to each chorus. During the song's bridge, a "funky" guitar solo, described by Sam Roche of Guitar World as being "sing-along", is played. Both David Fricke of Rolling Stone and Christopher R. Weingarten of The New York Times stylistically compared "Teenagers" to songs by T. Rex, while both NME and Bryant compared it to those by Status Quo. Weingarten additionally noted how "Teenagers" seemed influenced by the Slade song "Mama Weer All Crazee Now", while NME also compared the track to those by Roxy Music. Lyrically, "Teenagers" was inspired by Gerard Way's fear of teenagers. It is distinctive from the rest of The Black Parade in that it does not directly follow the album's overarching narrative about the death of The Patient; Way instead described the song as a "commentary on kids being viewed as meat; by the government and by society". April Prince of Alternative Press noted how the song was both a "rallying cry" for teenagers against the prejudice placed on them by adults, and commentary on how adults like Way could adopt those prejudices. Josiah Gogarty of GQ also perceived "Teenagers" as a self-referential look at the band's own teenage fanbase. The song's lyrics also address teenage violence and gun crime. Andy Greenwald of Spin interpreted the track as Way taking the role of a military recruiter drafting teenagers, while Sia Michel of The New York Times observed how it blamed teenage violence on adults. In an interview with NME, Way acknowledged the severity of gun crime among teenagers in the United States, and explained how the track "almost didn't fit on the record, but it's a topic that's so important to our culture". Way also brought up the Smiths song "The Headmaster Ritual" within the interview, which Weingarten called a "direct lyrical influence" on "Teenagers" due to their similar lyrical depictions of violence in schools.

Critical reception
Critical reception "Teenagers" received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sound and wit. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic, in his review of the album, lauded the song's simplicity and called it the best by the band. Fricke also highlighted the song's chorus and wrote how it would have been the best song to close the album with. Fraser McAlpine of the BBC gave a five-star review of the single, praising its upbeat sound juxtaposed against its themes of teen angst. Wren Graves of Consequence praised "Teenagers" for its "mocking humor" in a retrospective review of the album, while Clark Collis of Entertainment Weekly lauded its theatrical nature. Rou Reynolds of the band Enter Shikari called the song his favorite by the band due to its catchiness and lyrical content. However, Sean Howe of The Village Voice criticized the line "If you're troubled and hurt / What you got under your shirt / Will make them pay for the things that they did" for being "too Trenchcoat Mafia for comfort". The track has performed generally well in rankings of songs on The Black Parade, with both Robert Christgau and Theon Weber of Stylus identifying "Teenagers" as a standout on the album. Lauren Boisvert of American Songwriter called the song the third-best song on The Black Parade in her ranking of the album, noting how it resonated with her both as an adult and as a teenager. Ariana Bacle of Entertainment Weekly ranked "Teenagers" fourth, praising its "confident, captivating swagger". Tom Shepherd of Kerrang! placed the song at seventh in his ranking of the album, recognizing it as a "black sheep" on the album yet praising its "galvanising subject" and chorus. However, Mackenzie Templeton ranked "Teenagers" as the album's third-worst song, writing that it "didn't age as gracefully" as other tracks on the album. "Teenagers" has also been featured in rankings of My Chemical Romance's discography as a whole. The staff of Billboard included the track in their list of the 15 best My Chemical Romance songs, highlighting how many fans of My Chemical Romance — being teenagers during the band's peak of popularity — began to "finally understand the fear" of teenagers, causing the song to "slap even harder". Similarly, Marianne Eloise of Louder included the track in her list of the 20 greatest songs by the band due to its relatability. Margaret Farrell of Stereogum ranked "Teenagers" as the band's fourth-best song, calling it a "disturbingly fun anthem for exploited youth", while the staff of Spin included "Teenagers" in their list of the band's 10 best songs, noting how it served as a good break within the otherwise-dramatic album. Roche of Guitar World specifically lauded the track as being one of the band's 6 greatest guitar moments, highlighting the simplicity of its guitar riff and solo, and praised the track's "infectiously interactive" nature. A Rolling Stone list of the best songs of 2007 placed "Teenagers" at #25, calling it the band's "catchiest and most fun song".

Music video
Music video thumb|upright|The music video of "Teenagers" was directed by Marc Webb (pictured), a frequent collaborator of the band. An accompanying music video for "Teenagers", directed by frequent collaborator Marc Webb, was released on May 30, 2007. The video depicts the band performing the song inside a high school gymnasium to a group of teenage fans, while cheerleaders with gas masks and batons dance. The group of fans pump the air in unison, before a riot ensues and the band members are "attacked without any regard for their safety". The video ends with a message supporting National Save, a youth violence prevention organization. The music video pays homage to the Pink Floyd film The Wall, with both containing a similar scene of teenagers breaking through a padlocked door. The video was nominated for Best Video at the 2008 NME Awards, losing to that of "Teddy Picker" by Arctic Monkeys. Aliya Chaudhry of Kerrang! ranked the music video for "Teenagers" the sixth best by the band, praising its over-the-top yet captivating nature.

Euthyroid sick syndrome
short description
Euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) is a state of adaptation or dysregulation of thyrotropic feedback control wherein the levels of T3 or T4 are abnormal, but the thyroid gland does not appear to be dysfunctional. This condition may result from allostatic responses of hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid feedback control, dyshomeostatic disorders, drug interferences, and impaired assay characteristics in critical illness. The classical phenotype of this condition is often seen in starvation, critical illness, or patients in the intensive care unit. Similar endocrine phenotypes are observed in fetal life and in hibernating mammals. The most common hormone pattern in nonthyroidal illness syndrome is low total and free T3, elevated rT3, and normal T4 and TSH levels, although T4 and TSH suppression may occur in more severe or chronic illness. This classical pattern results from type 1 allostatic load, i.e. a stress response resulting from lacking energy, oxygen, and glutathione. An alternative phenotype with a largely inverse hormonal pattern is seen in several physiological and pathological conditions, including pregnancy, obesity, endurance training, and psychiatric diseases. It is typically associated with high-T3 syndrome, increased plasma protein binding of thyroid hormones, and an elevated set point of the homeostatic system. It represents a response to type-2 allostatic load.

Euthyroid sick syndrome
Causes
Causes Causes of classical euthyroid sick syndrome include a number of acute and chronic conditions, including pneumonia, fasting, starvation, anorexia nervosa, sepsis, trauma, cardiopulmonary bypass, malignancy, stress, heart failure, hypothermia, myocardial infarction, kidney failure, cirrhosis, diabetic ketoacidosis, surgery, infection, brain injury, shock, cancer, and HIV. Outside the hospital setting, euthyroid sick syndrome (nonthyroidal illness syndrome - NTIS) has been assumed closely related with a series of chronic diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune diseases. Additionally, an NTIS-like phenotype can be present in major depressive disorder, as well as overexercise.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology In critical illness, the activity of different deiodinases is altered. Humoral and neuronal inputs at the level of the hypothalamus may adjust the set point of thyroid homeostasis. This may play an important role in the pathogenesis of the central component of thyroid allostasis in critical illness, tumors, uremia and starvation (TACITUS). In addition, both illness and medication (e.g. salicylates and heparin) may impair plasma protein binding of thyroid hormones, resulting in reduced levels of total hormones, while free hormone concentrations may be temporarily elevated. Euthyroid sick syndrome probably represents an overlap of an allostatic response with pathologic reactions and drug interferences. Allostatic overload may result in wasting syndrome and myxedema coma. Thyroid storm, though, represents allostatic failure, where the organism is unable to develop NTIS in the situation of thyrotoxicosis.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Deiodinases
Deiodinases thumb|D1, D2, and D3 regulate the levels of T4, T3, and rT3. Three primary deiodinases are responsible for thyroid hormone conversion and breakdown. Type 1 (D1) deiodinates T4 to the biologically active T3, as well as the hormonally inactive and possibly inhibitory rT3. Type 2 (D2) converts T4 into T3, and breaks down rT3. D3 produces rT3 from T4, and breaks down T3. The balance of D2 and D3 is important for overall T3/rT3 balance. In NTIS, the concentrations of these deiodinases are altered, although whether NTIS is the cause or effect of this in peripheral tissues is unclear; in some studies, the alterations in thyroid hormone concentrations occurred before the changes in deiodinase activity. Typically, peripheral D1 and D2 are downregulated, while peripheral D3 is upregulated; this is associated with lower T4 and increased rT3.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis downregulation
Hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis downregulation Thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) neurons in the hypothalamus integrate global signals about the body's energy state. They may be stimulated by signals such as leptin, alpha-MSH, and catecholamines; and inhibited by glucocorticoids, neuropeptide Y, and agouti-related peptide. alt=Thyroid System.|right|thumb|The HPT Axis. In critical illness, inflammation increases tanycyte D2 in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, leading to local tissue hyperthyroidism. There may also be decreased central D3. This causes negative feedback on the HPT axis, and therefore reduced TRH gene expression in the PVN. This is exemplified by the common NTIS phenotype of low TSH even in the face of peripheral hypothyroidism.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Cytokines
Cytokines Illness can cause inflammation, which often involves an increase in cytokines such as TNFa, IL-1, and IL-6. Cytokines are implicated in NTIS. IL-1β has been shown to decrease liver D1, as well as thyroid hormone receptor (THR) levels. IL-6 and TNFa downregulate D1 and suppress TSH, are negatively correlated with fT3, and are positively correlated with rT3. NF-κB also inhibits D1, and decreases the expression of Thyroid receptors α and β. IFNy inhibits thyroid and Tg release, and also inhibits the upregulation of TSH receptors.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Thyroid hormone receptors
Thyroid hormone receptors In chronic liver and renal (kidney) failure, increased THR expression occurs. In contrast, in acute illness such as sepsis and trauma, decreased THR expression occurs.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Thyroid hormone transporters
Thyroid hormone transporters During NTIS, alterations arise in the concentrations of thyroid hormone transporters such as MCT8 and MCT10, although whether the levels are increased or decreased depends on the study. The altered concentrations are thought to be a result of NTIS, rather than a cause; a study in rabbits showed that administering thyroid hormones normalized transporter expression.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Binding proteins
Binding proteins Decreased thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) occurs following bypass surgery, and in chronic illness, a less effective form of TBG with lower affinity for thyroxine is synthesized. Reduced quantities of bound thyroid result, leading to decreased total thyroid measurements. Decreases in total thyroid may be more severe than alternations in free hormone levels.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Drugs
Drugs Dopamine and corticosteroids, commonly given in the hospital setting, can suppress TSH and suppress conversion of T4 to T3. Other drugs such as estrogen, contraceptives, salicylates, and phenytoin can alter the binding of TBG to TH, resulting in different TH concentrations. Additionally, lithium disrupts thyroid function, and thyromimetic endocrine disrupters may downregulate the HPT axis.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Fasting
Fasting Fasting is a common response in inflammation and critical illness. Originally, selenium deficiency as a result of malnutrition was thought to reduce D1 catalytic activity, but this theory has not been supported as a cause of NTIS.thumb|A fasting response is common in critical illness. NTIS as a result of fasting may be regarded as a healthy and adaptive mechanism that reduces energy expenditure. Fasting in healthy, euthyroid people causes reduced T3 and elevated rT3, although TSH is usually unchanged. Even moderate weight loss can lower T3. This may be primarily via reduced levels of leptin (the satisfaction hormone). Low leptin levels can downregulate hypothalamic TRH neurons and cause a reduction in TSH. Ιn fasting animals, administering leptin reverses NTIS symptoms and restores thyroid hormone concentrations. In obesity, increased leptin increases TSH and T3, and lowers rT3, possibly as an attempt to increase energy expenditure and return to weight set point. Other signals associated with hunger also affect the HPT axis. Insulin and bile acids, which are elevated after a meal, lead to increased D2 activity, therefore increasing T3 and reducing rT3. Low leptin increases NPY and AGRP (associated with appetite), which inhibit TRH gene expression; this effect is enhanced by ghrelin (the hunger hormone). a-MSH stimulates TRH gene expression in the PVN. This is enhanced by leptin, and inhibited by low leptin. a-MSH is also antagonized by AGRP.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Alternative phenotype (type 2 thyroid allostasis)
Alternative phenotype (type 2 thyroid allostasis) An anti-NTIS phenotype is observed in some circumstances, wherein TSH, T3, and T4 are generally elevated rather than suppressed. This can occur during pregnancy, obesity, cold adaptation, stay in high altitudes, endurance exercise, acute psychosis, and post-traumatic stress disorder. According to newer theories, elevated concentrations of TSH and thyroid hormones in type 2 allostasis result from an up-regulated set point of the feedback loop, which ensues from increased TRH expression in the basolateral amygdala and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus in response to stress. High-T3 syndrome in thyroid carcinoma may result from autonomous thyroid hormone secretion or overexpression of type 2 deiodinase in cancer cells rather than from type 2 allostasis.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Conditions with mixed phenotypes

Psychiatry
Psychiatry Stress suppresses TSH, and alterations in thyroid hormone levels may arise in psychiatric illness. In major depressive disorder, an NTIS-like phenotype may be observed, with reduced T3 and increased rT3. T4 may be elevated, and TSH is usually normal, although TSH's normal circadian rhythm may be disrupted. Bipolar 1 and PTSD can exemplify an anti-NTIS phenotype, with upregulation of the HPT axis and increased T3. This may also occur during acute schizophrenic episodes.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Exercise
Exercise After exercise, a transient increase occurs in TSH, T4, and T3, but this is thought to be due to increased blood concentration as a result of dehydration. The effects normalize after rest. After long-term heavy strain, levels of thyroid hormones decrease. This is exacerbated by other stressors such as undernutrition and lack of sleep, such as in a military training setting. During endurance exercise, before exhaustion, elevated thyroid hormone levels may happen due to increased expected energy demand (type 2 allostatic load).
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Environmental conditions
Environmental conditions Cold exposure and stay at high altitude may lead to type 1 or type 2 phenotype, depending on duration and other boundary conditions (which determine whether or not stress is associated with energy deprivation).
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Diagnosis
Diagnosis Affected patients may have normal, low, or slightly elevated TSH depending on the spectrum and phase of illness. Total T4 and T3 levels may be altered by binding protein abnormalities, and medications. Reverse T3 levels are generally increased, while FT3 is decreased. FT4 levels may have a transient increase, before becoming subnormal during severe illness. Correspondingly, in the majority of cases calculated sum activity of peripheral deiodinases (SPINA-GD) is reduced. Generally the levels of free T3 will be lowered, followed by the lowering of free T4 in more severe disease. Several studies described elevated concentrations of 3,5-T2, an active thyroid hormone, in NTIS. 3,5-T2 levels were also observed to correlate with concentrations of rT3 (reverse T3) in patients with euthyroid sick syndrome. NTIS is a component of a complex endocrine adaptation process, so affected patients might also have hyperprolactinemia and elevated levels of corticosteroids (especially cortisol) and growth hormone. NTIS can be difficult to distinguish from other forms of thyroid dysfunction in the hospital setting. Both NTIS and primary hypothyroidism may have reduced fT3 and fT4, and elevated TSH (which is common in the hospital, during the recovery phase of NTIS). Prescribing thyroxine to treat this may lead to lifelong thyroid overtreatment. Hyperthyroidism may be assumed due to decreased TSH and a transient fT4 increase. In some cases, this can be distinguished from NTIS by a thyroid ultrasound, which is commonly available in the hospital intensive care unit. NTIS looks similar to central hypopituitarism; both frequently have reduced TSH and thyroid hormone levels.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
Treatment
Treatment Debate is ongoing as to whether NTIS is an adaptive or maladaptive mechanism in response to physiological stress. Some sources indicate that NTIS is beneficial as an acute-phase response, but detrimental during the chronic phase of illness. Several trials have investigated a possible therapy for NTIS, but they yielded inconsistent and partly contradictory results. This may be due to the heterogeneity of investigated populations, and to the lack of a consistent definition of NTIS. Administering exogenous T3 and T4 has variable results, but overall seems to confer no improvements to health outcome. Administering TRH to patients with chronic illness, however, seems to normalize thyroid levels and improve catabolic function. When NTIS is caused by the normal fasting response to illness, early parenteral nutrition has been shown to attenuate alterations in thyroid hormone (TSH, T3, T4, rT3) levels, whereas late parenteral nutrition exacerbates it. Late parenteral nutrition, though, also reduced complications and accelerated recovery in one study.
Euthyroid sick syndrome
History
History In 1968, a reduced T4 half-life in athletes was discovered. This was the first awareness of thyroid hormone concentration alterations that were not a result of thyroid gland or pituitary dysfunction. In 1971, they also found a transient increase in T4 during bicycle training. In 1973, Rothenbuchner et al. discovered that starvation is correlated with reduced T3 concentration. Following this, a similar phenotype was noted in patients with critical illness, tumors, and uremia. The alternative phenotype of type-2 thyroid allostasis was first predicted in 1968, when John W. Mason expected the concentrations of thyroid hormones to rise in situations of psychosocial stress. Mason's postulate was later confirmed by numerous studies.

The parish is spread along the N22 national primary road (Macroom-Killarney), on the eastern side of the Cork/Kerry county bounds. There are two football pitches- Páirc Abán and a new one, Páirc Íosagáin between the two parts of the village Ballymakeera. The first pitch was situated on wetlands () which were dried and laid out in lawn. Changing rooms and perimeter walls were also constructed. At the official opening on 25 February 1979, the President of the GAA, Con Murphy, dedicated Páirc Abán (St Aban's Park) in memory of Conchúbhar Ó Luasa. Kerry and Cork played in a challenge game to mark the opening. The new park is located near Coláiste Íosagáin where it has undergone major development in 2016 with the development of Áras Abán, which includes a seated stand, changing rooms, medical room, referee room, gymnasium, meeting room & club shop. The club is situated in a Gaeltacht area. Many of Naomh Abán's players have achieved highly on the county and national stage. Micheál O Scanaill won an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship medal in 1973, and he and Dónal Óg Ó Liatháin have won Sigerson medals. O Scannail has also won Railway Cup and Munster Championship medals on more than one occasion. Jerry Lynch has a league medal to his name. Many players have won All-Ireland Minor, U21 and Vocational schools medals. Father and son Diarmuid and Jonathan McCarthy both won All Ireland minor and junior medals. Anthony Lynch was a member of the Cork panel when they won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in 2010.

Polyiodide
Short description
The polyiodides are a class of polyhalogen anions composed entirely of iodine atoms. The most common member is the triiodide ion, . Other known larger polyiodides include [I4]2−, [I5]−, [I6]2−, [I7]−, [I8]2−, [I9]−, [I10]2−, [I10]4−, [I11]3−, [I12]2−, [I13]3−, [I14]4-, [I16]2−, [I22]4−, [I26]3−, [I26]4−, [I28]4− and [I29]3−. All these can be considered as formed from the interaction of the I–, I2, and building blocks.
Polyiodide
Preparation
Preparation The polyiodides can be made by addition of stoichiometric amounts of I2 to solutions containing I− and , with the presence of large countercations to stabilize them. For example, KI3·H2O can be crystallized from a saturated solution of KI when a stoichiometric amount of I2 is added and cooled.

Most can be considered as associations of I2, I−, and units. Discrete polyiodides are usually linear. The more complex two- or three-dimensional network structures of chains and cages are formed as the ions interact with each other, with their shapes depending on their associated cations quite strongly, a phenomenon named dimensional caging.

Polyiodide
Reactivity
Reactivity Polyiodide compounds are generally sensitive to light. Triiodide, , undergoes unimolecular photodissociation. Polyiodide has been used to improve the scalability in the synthesis of halide perovskite photovoltaic materials.
Polyiodide
Conductivity
Conductivity Solid state compounds containing linear-chain polyiodide ions exhibit enhanced conductivity than their simple iodide counterparts. The conductivity can be drastically modified by external pressure, which changes the interatomic distances between iodine moieties and the charge distribution.

Maiwand Lion
Short description
The Maiwand Lion is a sculpture and war memorial in the Forbury Gardens, a public park in the town of Reading, in the English county of Berkshire. The statue was named after the Battle of Maiwand and was unveiled in December 1886 to commemorate the deaths of 329 men from the 66th (Berkshire) Regiment of Foot during the campaign in the Second Anglo-Afghan War in Afghanistan between 1878 and 1880. It is sometimes known locally as the Forbury Lion. thumb|left|upright|The inscription on the plinth The inscription on the plinth reads as follows: This monument records the names and commemorates the valour and devotion of XI [11] officers and CCCXVIII [318] non-commissioned officers and men of the LXVI [66th] Berkshire Regiment who gave their lives for their country at Girishk Maiwand and Kandahar and during the Afghan Campaign MDCCCLXXIX [1879] – MDCCCLXXX [1880]."History does not afford any grander or finer instance of gallantry and devotion to Queen and country than that displayed by the LXVI Regiment at the Battle of Maiwand on the XXVII [27th] July MDCCCLXXX [1880]."Despatch of General Primrose. thumb|right|Close-up of the lion The regiment lost approximately 258 men out of 500 (reports of the number vary, see the statue inscription total above) at the battle of Maiwand, having faced an Afghan army ten times larger than the British contingent. Eleven of the men, protecting the colours, made such a brave stand before their deaths that the Afghans who fought them reported it with great respect. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his character Doctor Watson on the regiment's Medical officer, Surgeon Major A F Preston, who was injured in battle. The sculptor was George Blackall Simonds, a member of the Reading H & G Simonds brewing family. The sculpture took two years to design and complete, and the lion is one of the world's largest cast iron statues. Rumours persist that Simonds committed suicide on learning that the lion's gait was incorrectly that of a domestic cat. In fact, he made careful observations on lions at London Zoo and the stance was anatomically correct. He also lived for another 43 years, enjoying continuing success as a sculptor and later creating a statue of Queen Victoria (1887) and a statue of George Palmer (1891). He retired from sculpting in 1903 and worked in the family business, eventually becoming its chairman in 1910. In 1922 he came out of retirement to build the Bradfield war memorial, commemorating the deaths in the First World War of those in the 2nd Battalion, South Wales Borderers, which included his son. thumb|A 3D Scan of the Lion The statue is made of cast iron and weighs 16 tons. It was cast by H. Young & Co. of Pimlico in 1886 and was originally supported on a terracotta pedestal. This was replaced with Portland stone in 1910 when the terracotta showed signs of cracking under the statue's weight. The rectangular pilastered plinth carries tablets recording the names of the dead, together with inscription above. The whole monument is listed grade II by English Heritage. The Maiwand Lion featured on the front page of one of the local newspapers, the Reading Post, prior to the publication's closure in 2014. It also appears on the Reading Football Club badge. The Loddon Brewery, located in Dunsden Green, close to Reading, brews an India Pale Ale called Forbury Lion.
