Desilu Productions ( ) was an American production company founded and co-owned by husband and wife Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball, best known for shows such as "I Love Lucy", "", and "The Untouchables".
 Until 1962, Desilu was the second-largest independent television production company in the U.S. behind MCA's Revue Productions until MCA bought Universal Pictures, and Desilu became and remained the number-one independent production company until being sold in 1967.
 Ball and Arnaz jointly owned the majority stake in Desilu from its inception until 1962, when Ball bought out Arnaz and ran the company by herself for several years.
 Ball had succeeded in making Desilu profitable again by 1967, when she sold her shares of Desilu to Gulf+Western for $17 million ($ in 2016 dollars).
 Gulf+Western then transformed Desilu into the television production arm of Paramount Pictures, rebranding the company as the original Paramount Television.
Parufamet was the name of the distribution company founded between the American film studios Paramount Pictures and Metro Goldwyn Mayer who together loaned $4 Million (US) to Universum Film AG (Ufa) in December 1925.
 The German studio Ufa financed the production of several expensive silent films including Metropolis (1927), and had gone bankrupt as a result.
 In return for the loan, Ufa had to reserve 75% of its cinema capacity for American productions and was obliged to distribute 20 films from each partner per year in Germany.
Regarded as the last successful pirate of the Caribbean during the 19th century's suppression era, the life of Roberto Cofresí has been romanticized in his native Puerto Rico and neighboring nations.
 Already possessing a reputation as hard to capture in life, the freebooter became a symbol for an archipelago immersed in the political unrest caused by its status as a colony within the struggling Spanish Empire.
 Under theses circumstances, Cofresí was soon characterized as a benign and generous thief.
 In a similar trend, he was also associated with the Puerto Rican independence movement of the era.
 During the late 19th and early 20th century, the abundant oral tradition led to a subgenre of folk hero literature which depicted Cofresí as a benevolent force and contradicted the other pirate-related works of the time, including the well known "Treasure Island" and "Peter Pan".
 A century later, this contrast became the subject of sociological study.
 Research to uncover the historical figure behind these myths has also been published by authors linked to the Puerto Rican Genealogical Society, which creates a parallel to this narrative.
William Bernard (fl.
 1849+) was a 19th-century sailor, miner and resident of San Francisco, better known as the notorious "Barnacle Bill" of American yore whose fictional exploits are chronicled in the ribald drinking song "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" — itself adapted from "Bollocky Bill the Sailor", a traditional folk song originally titled "Abraham Brown".
 (Neither MGM comedy titled "Barnacle Bill" has anything to do with Bernard.)

Colenso Parade were an alternative rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland formed in 1984.
 Taking their name from a street in the Stranmillis area of their native city, the original line-up was Oscar (Thomas) Askin (vocals), Linda Clandinning (keyboards), Neil Lawson (bass guitar), Jackie Forgie (guitar) and Robert Wakeman (drums).
 After releasing two singles on their own "Goliath" label, they moved to London and signed to their manager Dave Bedford's Fire Records, with Forgie being replaced by future The House of Love/Levitation guitarist Terry Bickers.
 After an EP on Fire Records ("Hallelujah Chorus and Other Coyote Yelps") and a subsequent LP, Bickers departed to join The House of Love, to be replaced by John Watt (previously of Kissed Air and currently composer for BBC's Dragons' Den).
 Wakeman also left, his replacement being ex-Big Self drummer Owen Howell.
 Their next release, "Fontana Eyes" was arguably their best, receiving heavy airplay, although they split soon after, in 1986.
 Singer Oscar was offered the job of replacing Ian McCulloch in Echo & the Bunnymen but declined, and went on to work in corporate events as MD of the Technical Production company Metro Ecosse.
 Drummer Wakeman later resurfaced in the band Salad.

A homeland for the Jewish people is an idea rooted in Jewish culture and religion.
 In the early 19th century, the Napoleonic Wars led to the idea of Jewish emancipation.
 This unleashed a number of religious and secular cultural streams and political philosophies among the Jews in Europe, covering everything from Marxism to Chassidism.
 Among these movements was Zionism as promoted by Theodore Herzl.
 In the late 19th century, Herzl set out his vision of a Jewish state and homeland for the Jewish people in his book "Der Judenstaat".
 Herzl was later hailed by the Zionist political parties as the founding father of the State of Israel.
 In the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the United Kingdom became the first world power to endorse the establishment in Palestine of a "national home for the Jewish people."
 The British government confirmed this commitment by accepting the British Mandate for Palestine in 1922 (along with their colonial control of the Pirate Coast, Southern Coast of Persia, Iraq and from 1922 a separate area called Transjordan, all of the Middle-Eastern territory except the French territory).
 The European powers mandated the creation of a Jewish homeland at the San Remo conference of 19–26 April 1920.
 In 1948, the State of Israel was established.
