The first usage of the daxophone in a musical work was the release of Hans Reichel's album The Dawn of Dachsman in 1987.The Daxophone Even with Hans Reichel's second album featuring the daxophone, Shanghaied on Tor Road: The World's 1st Operetta Performed on Nothing but the Daxophone, the instrument had remained very obscure. It was not until after his release of Yuxo: A New Daxophone Operetta that the daxophone began to gain notability through the internet, spawning YouTube videos and inspiring other artists such as Michael Hearst to create their own albums featuring the daxophone. Even today, the daxophone remains fairly obscure, and as such it has not been mass-produced, requiring any aspiring daxophonists to build their own.
Bill is a farmboy on a small backward agricultural planet who is drugged, hypnotised, then shanghaied into the Space Troopers and sent to recruit training under a fanged instructor named Deathwish Drang. After surviving boot camp, he is transferred to active duty as a fuse tender on the flagship of the space fleet in battle with the Chingers, a small reptilian race who are, in Trooper propaganda, portrayed as being 7 feet tall. Before the battle one of Bill's fellow troopers, known as Eager Beager, is revealed to be an android operated from within by a Chinger, who is in fact only 7 inches tall. Injured and with the fleet almost destroyed, Bill accidentally fires off a shot from his ship's main gun.
When the duo next see him, they're convinced he's the ghost of the "dead" sailor and run around the deck shrieking in terror. Meanwhile, the shanghaied sailors have been plotting revenge against the duo for shanghaiing them and decide to sneak back aboard the ship to clobber The Boys during the captain's absence. When they get to the ship and see Laurel and Hardy running, they begin to pursue them—only to be stopped when they see what they're running from: the drunken sailor covered in whitewash, which they too mistake for a ghost and jump overboard shrieking in terror. Captain Long returns with a barfly (Mae Busch) whom he has talked into joining him, only for her to recognize the whitewashed sailor as the husband who'd deserted her years ago.
As units reached Benghazi, Rommel formed them into columns, Group Schwerin was sent to Tmimi and Group Fabris, composed of motorcyclists and the Ariete divisional artillery, to Mechili followed by the rest of the Ariete Division. General Streich, the 5th Light Afrika Division commander, was ordered on to Tobruk with Machine-Gun Battalion 8, part of Panzer Regiment 5 and an anti-tank company.

It is said that the first Dom to arrive in the Dutch East Indies had been shanghaied onto a merchant ship in Holland and ended up on the island of Java where he stayed, married a native, and started a dynasty with close ties to the Netherlands. Elvire was an accomplished pianist who accompanied leading performers of the day on tour in Southeast Asia. Her maternal grandmother was a Hungarian lady by the name of Anna Maria Popp who may have influenced her musically: as a boy, Gerard was aware of a Hungarian connection, and remembers the Hungarian folk music that his mother used to play at home. On the Schürmann side of the family, Gerard's great grandfather emigrated from Cloppenburg, Germany, to Holland in 1842, where he married an English relative of Jacques Offenbach.
The involuntary colonists cause much trouble, knowing nothing but a welfare state existence in government ghettos (called Welfare Islands), where drugs, booze and entertainment, paid for by the productive members of society ("Taxpayers"), keep them pacified. Shanghaied to the colony worlds by the Bureau of Relocation ("BuReLock") in an attempt to keep Earth's population down, they gather in city centers and shanty towns, reverting to their parasitical or criminal lifestyles depending on their personal inclinations. While some convict and involuntary transportees do assimilate into their new planets' societies, most band together against the original colonists of whatever world they end up on. Political parties always form to demand a consumer-oriented welfare state, ostensibly to promote social fairness but with agendas meant to advance the welfare state at the expense of the productive.
A recent report to the US government, by aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman, describes Chinese economic espionage as comprising "the single greatest threat to U.S. technology". Blogging on the 2009 cyber attack on Google, Joe Stewart of SecureWorks referred to a "persistent campaign of 'espionage-by-malware' emanating from the People’s Republic of China (PRC)" with both corporate and state secrets being "Shanghaied" over the past 5 or 6 years. The Northrop Grumann report states that the collection of US defense engineering data through cyberattack is regarded as having "saved the recipient of the information years of R&D; and significant amounts of funding". Concerns about the extent of cyberattacks on the US emanating from China has led to the situation being described as the dawn of a "new cold cyberwar".

As his powers and use of powers already suggest in the series, Ben is an Avataric Creature of Light. An early draft of Carnivàle, which consisted of diary entries by Benjamin "Ben" Hawkins, summarized his childhood as growing up on a run-down farm with his mother and grandfather in the belief that his father had died in World War I. After both his grandfather and mother had died from cancer, he was "shanghaied by a group of carnies" in 1930. In a later version closer to the actual series, Ben left his mother's farm at age sixteen and fell into a criminal life in Texas. After receiving a twenty-year sentence in a state prison-farm for a failed bank robbery, Ben planned his escape to return home to his sick mother, but he accidentally killed a prison guard who drew a gun on him.
London's intention in writing The Sea-Wolf was "an attack on (Nietzsche's) super-man philosophy."Jack London, Letter to Mary Austin, Nov 5 1919, cited in No Mentor But Myself, Jack London, Dale Walker, Jeanne Reesman, Second Edition, 1999 Nietzsche and Schopenhauer are mentioned in the second sentence of the novel as the preferred reading of the friend Humphrey van Weyden visited before his shipwreck. The novel also contains references to Herbert Spencer in chapters 8, 10, Charles Darwin in chapters 5, 6, 10, 13, Omar Khayyam in chapters 11, 17, 26, Shakespeare in chapter 5, and John Milton in chapter 26. The plot has some initial similarities to Captains Courageous by Rudyard Kipling in that they each have an idle, rich young man rescued from the sea and shanghaied into becoming a working sailor; however, the two stories differ widely in plot and moral tone.

Celtic Music began as a publishing outlet for four books of Irish session tunes compiled by Dave Bulmer and Neil Sharpley in the 1970s, with the term first appearing on "Music from Ireland Volume 2" from 1976. It evolved into a record distribution company (CM Distribution) for other labels and then into a recording and record production operation from 1978 to around 2007 that was owned by Dave Bulmer in Leeds and Harrogate in Yorkshire, England. As well as issuing its own recordings, Celtic Music also acquired the back catalogue of other folk music record labels when the latter were on-sold, including Leader, Trailer, Rubber Records, Black Crow, Dambuster, Highway, Sweet Folk and Country, Greenwich Village, Mulligan, Broadside, Folk Heritage, and Making Waves, the majority of which, however, have not been re-issued. The first release on Celtic Music was the self-titled album by the band Iona in 1978, while the last was Tich Frier's Shanghaied in 2007.

He is a co-director of Hurricane Films along with business partner Sol Papadopoulos, and the pair produced their feature film Under the Mud, followed by the Terence Davies documentary Of Time and the City (for which the duo received a BAFTA nomination). Hurricane are lined up to produce two further Davies films – announcing Sunset Song (starring Peter Mullan and Agyness Deyn) at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012 and A Quiet Passion (starring Sex and The City’s Cynthia Nixon) at the Toronto Film Festival, later that year. Boulter was appointed as Creative Director The Museum Of Liverpool’s Immersive exhibition - ‘Kicking And Screaming’ – a film about the City’s passion for football. Hurricane Films went on to win the tenders for two further immersives at the museum - an exploration of the early lives and career of The Beatles, made in collaboration with Apple Corps Ltd and ‘The Power And The Glory?’ an interpretation of how the growth and decline of the British Empire created and then almost destroyed the city of Liverpool.
