| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Boxing - Professional boxing Professional bouts are far longer than amateur bouts (ranging from four to twelve rounds), headgear is not permitted, and boxers are generally allowed to take much more punishment before a fight is halted. At any time, however, the referee may stop the contest if he believes that one participant can not or should not continue to box. In that case, the other participant is awarded a technical knockout win, which appears on the boxer's record as a knockout win (or loss). A technical knockout would also be awarded if a fighter lands a punch tha ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Elton John - Musical style and voice In the 1970s, Elton John's sound was immediately set apart from others by being piano-based in a rock world dominated by guitars. Another early characteristic was a set of dynamic string arrangements by Paul Buckmaster. Coupled with Taupin's often opaque but emotionally resonant lyrics, the results were unique for their time. Songs in this style included Sixty Years On, Burn Down the Mission, Take Me to the Pilot, Levon, Madman Across the Water ...

| | | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Boxing - Boxing legends The boxing world has produced talented and world famous personalities in both the amateur and professional realms. Famous amateur boxers have usually been Olympic medallists. The Olympic games have long been considered a springboard for professional entry, though some Olympic champions prefer to retain their amateur status, including three-time gold medalist Teofilo Stevenson. It is the professional side of boxing, however, that has produced the celebrities whose activities the public has generally followed.
The bareknuckle era produced legends like John L. Sullivan, the first world heavyweight champion. Sullivan has been cal ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Paul Weller - Legacy Proving that interest still remained in his seminal days of the 1970s and 80s, no less than three of his songs - two Style Council numbers and one song from The Jam - turned up on the soundtrack of 2001's hit British movie Billy Elliot, bringing him a whole new generation of fans to discover his music.
Evidence of his continued popularity was provided by a poll run by British national radio station Virgin Radio in December 2002 to find the Top 100 British Artists of all time. More than 25,000 listeners voted, and in the final r ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Glasgow Caledonian University - History
Glasgow Caledonian University - The Queen's College Glasgow.
The origins of The Queen's College, Glasgow date back as far as 1875 when the Glasgow School of Cookery was established. In 1908, the Glasgow School of Cookery merged with the West End School of Cookery, which had been established in 1878, to form the Glasgow and West of Scotland College of Domestic Science. Having been patron of the College since 1944, the Queen was pleased to accede to the request in 1975 that the College became known as The Queen's College of Glasgow.

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Paul Weller - The Style Council At the beginning of 1983, The Jam were no more and the press and public wondered what was next for Weller. The answer emerged in the form of a collaboration with his friend, keyboard player Mick Talbot, to form a new group called The Style Council. A very different band to The Jam, the Style Council played a whole range of varying musical styles, from outright pop to jazz, soul and the occasional ballad. Weller and Style Council back-up vocalist Dee C. Lee (ex-Wham! back-up singer) formed a romantic r ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Paul Weller - Solo career In the early 1990s, Weller disbanded the Council and went quiet for a few years, before returning to prominence as one of the major influences behind the mid-1990s 'Britpop' movement that gave rise to such bands as Oasis and Blur, both of whom were heavily influenced by The Jam in particular. Weller even appeared as a guest guitarist and backing vocalist on "Champagne Supernova" of Oasis's seminal 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, perhaps the defining moment of Britpop . In particular, Weller was an important influence in the development of Ocean Colour Scene, and members of that band, particularly guitarist Steve Crad ...

| | | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Boxing - Amateur boxing In amateur boxing (the version of the sport found at the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games) the primary emphasis is on landing scoring punches rather than concern with doing physical damage to one's opponent. Competitors wear protective headgear and box for three to five rounds of two or three minutes each. Gloves in amateur boxing have a white strip across the knuckle. A punch is considered a scoring punch only when the boxers connect with the white portion of the gloves. Each punch that lands on the head or torso is awarded a point. A r ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Boxing - Origins Earliest evidence suggests that boxing was prevalent in North Africa during 4000 BC and the Mediterranean in 1500 BC.
A Greek ruler named Thesus, who ruled around 900 B.C., was entertained by men who would be seated in front of each other and beat another with their fists until one of them was killed. In time, the fighters fought on their feet and wore gloves (not padded) and wrappings on their arms below the elbows, but were otherwise naked when competing. First accepted as an Olympic sport (the ancient Greeks called it Pygme/ Pygmac ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Bend It Like Beckham - Response This movie was popular with audiences around the world including, surprisingly enough, the United States, where David Beckham was little known at the time of its release. This film made Beckham better known in North America.
Critical reviews were a little mixed, with at least some critics describing it derisively as "Billy Elliot with football instead of ballet;" some American critics thought the film was merely mining the same vein of humour as My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Underscoring the latter point, critic Steve Sailer, in a mildly favourable review, ...

| | | | | Billy Elliot: Encyclopedia II - Boxing - British boxing legends Great Britain, the birth place of modern boxing, has produced numerous boxing legends. Among British amateur boxers, only those who won Olympic gold medals tended to achieve recognition beyond the limits of boxing enthusiasts. They included Harry Mallin (Middleweight), 1920 and 1924), Terry Spinks (Flyweight, 1956), Dick McTaggart (Lightweight, 1956) and Chris Finnegan (Middleweight, 1968). In 1908, at the Olympic Games in London, five weight divisions were contested, Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight. British boxers won t ...

He married German recording engineer Renate Blauel on Valentine's Day, 1984 and divorced her four years later.

A low-key ceremony with only their parents in attendance was held at the Guildhall, Windsor, followed by a lavish party at their Berkshire mansion. ...
