Black Sheep
In the English language, black sheep is an idiom that describes a member of a group who is different from the rest, especially a family member who does not fit in. The term stems from sheep whose fleece is colored black rather than the more common white; these sheep stand out in the flock and their wool is worth less as it will not dye. The term has typically been given negative implications, implying waywardness. In psychology, "black sheep effect" refers to the tendency of group members to judge likeable ingroup members more positively and deviant ingroup members more negatively than comparable outgroup members. Origin In most sheep, a white fleece is not caused by albinism but by a common dominant gene that switches color production off, thus obscuring any other color that may be present. A black fleece is caused by a recessive gene, so if a white ram and a white ewe are each heterozygous for black, about one in four of their lambs will be black. In most white sheep breed ...

Black Sheep (Hill Novel)
''Black Sheep'', is a novella by the English author Susan Hill, published in 2013 by Chatto & Windus. Plot introduction The story is set in a bleak coal-mining village and centres around brother and sister Ted and Rose Howker. It follows their growth from childhood into adulthood and their attempts to break free from the drudgery of their existence, Ted through heading out of the valley to work on a sheep-farm, and Rose through marriage to the pit-manager's son. Neither is able to truly escape and their choices lead to tragedy. Inspiration In an interview with ''The Guardian'', Hill revealed that the book was inspired by "a black and white photograph of a 19th-century engraving she found online". The village was, she said, "...exactly as I describe. It was essentially an amphitheatre with all the mine workings in the bottom with the great gantry thing, and terraces of houses going up, and a little path with a gate through which people went down to work, and you could just see at ...

The group, which had released the single "Stick Around" in 1974, the album ''Black Sheep'' in 1975, and the album ''Encouraging Words'' in late 1975, was no longer performing when Gramm was invited by Mick Jones to join the band Foreigner in 1976.
