Old World blackbirds

The common name "blackbird" is used for at least two different groups of birds. This page deals with the Old World group, which are the genus ***Turdus***, also known as thrushes. _Turdus_ is the Latin name for thrush.

The type species is the mistle thrush (_Turdus viscivorus_).

## Old World

The group **Passerida** is a fairly large group of Old World birds. They include the genus _Turdus_ in the family Turdidae.

The **blackbird** (_Turdus merula_, or **common blackbird**) is a thrush. It is a member of the passerine songbird family Turdidae. There are at least seven species in the Old World, all of which have different common names.

It has a huge range across Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and has been introduced to Australia and New Zealand. It has a number of subspecies across its range. Depending on latitude, the common blackbird may be resident, partially migratory or fully migratory.

## Appearance

The adult male is black, with a yellow/orange bill (beak). Juveniles and females are brown, and less easy to see. Blackbirds are easy to find in gardens all over Europe and in Asia, South of the Arctic Circle. On average, blackbirds live to be 2.4 years old, but some have been found to be 20 years old.

## Behaviour and ecology

It is a terrific singer, and will breed whenever the weather is right.

The male common blackbird defends its breeding territory, chasing away other males or using a "bow and run" threat display. This is a short run, the head first being raised and then bowed with the tail dipped simultaneously. If a fight between male blackbirds does occur, it is usually short and the intruder is soon chased away.

The female blackbird is also aggressive in the spring when it competes with other females for a good nesting territory, and although fights are less frequent, they tend to be more violent.

The male attracts the female with a courtship display: oblique runs and head-bowing movements, an open beak, and a "strangled" low song. The female stays still until she raises her head and tail to allow sex. This species is monogamous, and the established pair usually stay together as long as they both survive. Pair separation rates of up to 20% have been noted following poor breeding. Although socially monogamous, there have been studies showing as much as 17% extra pair paternity.

As long as winter food is available, both the male and female will stay in the territory throughout the year, although occupying different areas. Migrants are more social, travelling in small flocks and feeding in loose groups in the wintering grounds. The flight of migrating birds is bursts of rapid wing beats interspersed with level or diving movement, and differs from both the normal fast agile flight of this species and the more dipping action of larger thrushes.

The prime minister and the government ministers who make up the cabinet, are members of parliament in several states.
Thomas Arnold

**Thomas Arnold** (13 June 1795 – 12 June 1842) was an English educator and historian. He was an early supporter of the  Anglican movement. As headmaster of Rugby School from 1828 to 1841, he introduced several reforms that were widely copied by other noted public schools, and is seen as the creator of the English public school system.

Third jersey

A **third jersey**  (or **altenative jersey**, **third kit** or **alternative uniform**) is a jersey or uniform that a sports team can wear instead of its home or away outfits during games. This is often because the colors of two competing teams' other uniforms are too similar to tell the difference easily. In reality, there is never a need for a third jersey in a two-team game. One team can wear its home or normal colours, and the other team can wear its away or substitute colours. Basically, the latter teams' colours cannot clash with the former's. This leaves the possibility that each team's away jersey is so similar, that by accident' the home team may be confused to see the away team in colours that they occasionally play in. But that is a risk for the away team seeing the home team in colours that are not unlike the colours the away team normally wears.

Bryan Stevenson

**Bryan Stevenson** (born November 14, 1959) is an American lawyer, social justice activist, law professor at New York University School of Law, and the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative.

Stevenson was born to African American parents in Milton, Delaware in 1959. The U. S. Supreme Court had ended official school segregation policies in 1954, but the first schools Stevenson attended were still racially segregated. When that ended, he was in the first group of students in his state to attend racially integrated schools.

He graduated from Harvard University in 1985 with a double degree in law and public policy. He worked as an intern at the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta. That work showed him that the American legal system worked one way if you had money and another way if you were poor. He found that, for similar crimes, more poor people (who were usually African American) received the death penalty than other people did.

He started the Equal Justice Initiative in 1989. This organization had good lawyers help poor people who were in prison on death row in Alabama. Receiving a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship in 1995 helped him to build the EJI.

In 2014 Stevenson's book _Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption_ was read by many people. More people learned about his work for fairness in the legal system. The book became a movie in 2019.

She got beat up almost every day for about 7 years. When she was in middle school, she started failing classes, trying not to get noticed. Her only target was to not get noticed. She only felt excited about playing volleyball.

But by junior year she was feeling too sad. Her grades were too bad. She got kicked off the volleyball team at school.

Anderson began her transition from male to female at the age of 19 after years of feeling like she was assigned the wrong gender. Before her transition, she had always felt like she didn't belong with the boys, she felt like she belonged with the girls. Anderson’s mother wasn't accepting of her child's decision because she assumed Anderson was only cross-dressing. Eventually, she learned to accept her daughter. Her mother became a big supporter and always cheers for her at volleyball games. Anderson worked to afford treatments for gender transition.

Anderson found it difficult to play volleyball while taking hormones. Her body did not work as expected.  By one year into her treatments, she was much slower and less powerful than before. Her "male muscles...melted off her body." She argues that trans players do not keep advantages of their gender before gender transition.

After Anderson changed the gender on her birth certificate and took gender replacement hormones for a year, both the California Community College Athletic Association and the NCAA let her play college volleyball.` Anderson played for Santa Ana Community College for two years and then changed to playing for the University of California Santa Cruz Volleyball team.
