George Orson Welles (May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985), best known as Orson Welles, was an American filmmaker, actor, theatre director, screenwriter, and producer, who worked extensively in film, theatre, television and radio. Noted for his innovative dramatic productions as well as his distinctive voice and personality, Welles is widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished dramatic artists of the twentieth century, especially for his significant and influential early work—despite his notoriously contentious relationship with Hollywood. His distinctive directorial style featured layered, nonlinear narrative forms, innovative uses of lighting and chiaroscuro, unique camera angles, sound techniques borrowed from radio, deep focus shots, and long takes. Welles's long career in film is noted for his struggle for artistic control in the face of pressure from studios, which resulted in many of his films being severely edited and others left unreleased. He has thus been praised as a major creative force and as "the ultimate auteur."

In geometry, an octagon (from the Greek ὀκτάγωνον ''oktágōnon'', "eight angles") is a polygon that has eight sides. A regular octagon is represented by the Schläfli symbol {8}.
Regular octagon
A regular octagon is a closed figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. It has eight lines of reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 8. The internal angle at each vertex of a regular octagon is 135° and the sum of all the internal angles is 1080° (as for any octagon). The area of a regular octagon of side length ''a'' is given by :In terms of ''R'' (circumradius), the area is :
In terms of ''r'' (inradius), the area is :
These last two coefficients bracket the value of pi, the area of the unit circle.
The area can also be derived as follows: :
where ''S'' is the span of the octagon, or the second shortest diagonal; and ''a'' is the length of one of the sides, or bases. This is easily proven if one takes an octagon, draws a square around the outside (making sure that four of the eight sides touch the four sides of the square) and then taking the corner triangles (these are 45–45–90 triangles) and placing them with right angles pointed inward, forming a square. The edges of this square are each the length of the base.
Given the length of a side ''a'', the span ''S'' is: : :
The area is then as above: : :
Expressed in terms of the span, area is: : :
Another simple formula for the area is : where ''d'' is the distance between parallel sides (the same as span ''S'' in the diagram).

Early life
Black was born in Santa Monica, California, the son of two satellite engineers, Judith (née Cohen), who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope, and Thomas William Black. His mother is Jewish and his father converted to Judaism (Black attended Hebrew school). On ''The Tonight Show'', he said his surname may have come from the occupational name Blacksmith. Black's parents divorced when he was 10; Black moved to Culver City with his father and frequently visited his mother’s home. As a child, Black appeared in a commercial for the Activision game ''Pitfall!'' in 1982, which was later shown during an appearance on ''Jimmy Kimmel Live'' and again on ''The Tonight Show with Conan O' Brien''. When Black entered high school, his parents enrolled him at the Poseidon School, a private secondary school engineered specifically for students struggling in the traditional school system. Black also attended the Crossroads School, where he excelled in drama. He later attended UCLA but dropped out during his sophomore year to pursue a career in entertainment, at which point his father discontinued his financial support. Fellow UCLA alumnus Tim Robbins later cast Black in ''Bob Roberts''. He also had recurring roles on the HBO sketch comedy series ''Mr. Show''.
Career
Acting career
Black's acting career began with prime time television. He played roles on shows including ''Life Goes On'', ''Northern Exposure'', ''Mr. Show'', ''Picket Fences'', and ''The X-Files''. Black appeared in the unaired TV pilot ''Heat Vision and Jack'', directed by Ben Stiller, in which he played an ex-astronaut pursued by actor Ron Silver. He was accompanied by his friend who had merged with a motorcycle, voiced by Owen Wilson.Black later took on small roles in ''Airborne'', ''Demolition Man'', ''Waterworld'', ''The Fan'', ''Mars Attacks!'', Tim Robbins' ''Dead Man Walking'', and others. He had a small role in ''True Romance'' as a security guard, but the scene was deleted. In 2000, he appeared in ''High Fidelity'' as a wild employee in John Cusack's record store, a role Black considers his breakout.
His career soon led to leading roles in films such as ''Shallow Hal'', ''Nacho Libre'', ''Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny'', ''Year One'' and ''Gulliver's Travels''. He received particular praise for his starring role in the well-received ''School of Rock'', earning critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor - Musical Or Comedy. In a rare move, he starred in a dramatic role as the obsessed filmmaker Carl Denham in Peter Jackson's ''2005 remake of King Kong'', a performance he based on Orson Welles. He voiced the title role in ''Kung Fu Panda'', which grossed $20.3 million on its opening day, June 6, 2008, and ''Kung Fu Panda 2''; it is a role he considers his favourite, with a performance enhanced with the tutoring of co-star and two time Academy Award winner, Dustin Hoffman. His next film, ''The Big Year'', a competitive birdwatching comedy co-starring Owen Wilson, Steve Martin, and JoBeth Williams, was released in October 2011. He is referred to in the media as a member of the Frat Pack, a group of comedy actors who frequently work together, which also includes Owen Wilson, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn, and Steve Carell.

Keith Matthew Thornton, better known by his stage name Kool Keith, is an American rapper from The Bronx, New York. A founding member of Ultramagnetic MCs, Kool Keith has recorded prolifically both as a solo artist and in group collaborations. Kool Keith is the self-proclaimed inventor of horrorcore.
History
Kool Keith began his rap career with the group Ultramagnetic MCs. After the release of ''Critical Beatdown'', Thornton was reportedly institutionalized in Bellevue Hospital Center. However, he later said that the idea that he was institutionalized came from a flippant remark made during a stressful interview and he never expected the story to become so well-known.Thornton released his first notable solo single, "Earth People," in 1995, under the name Dr. Octagon, followed by the release of ''Dr. Octagonecologyst'' the following year. The album's production by Dan the Automator and Kutmasta Kurt, with scratching by DJ Qbert was acclaimed by critics, and the album was released nationally by DreamWorks Records, which also issued an instrumental version of the album, titled ''Instrumentalyst (Octagon Beats)''. Thornton followed the album with ''Sex Style'' in 1997 under the name Kool Keith.
In 1998, Thornton collaborated with Tim Dog for the single "The Industry is Wack," performing under the name Ultra. The following year, he released the album ''First Come, First Served'' under the name "Dr. Dooom", in which the album's main character killed off Dr. Octagon on the album's opening track. On August 10, 1999, Thornton released ''Black Elvis/Lost in Space''. It peaked at #10 on the ''Billboard'' Heatseekers chart, #74 on the Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and #180 on the ''Billboard'' 200. On July 25, 2000, Thornton released the album ''Matthew''. It peaked at #47 on the ''Billboard'' Heatseekers chart. The same year, Thornton collaborated with Ice-T, Marc Live, Black Silver and Pimp Rex for the album ''Pimp to Eat'', under the group name Analog Brothers, with Keith performing as Keith Korg and Ice-T as Ice Oscillator.
On June 5, 2001, Thornton released the album ''Spankmaster'' on Esham's Gothom Records. It peaked at #16 on the ''Billboard'' Heatseekers chart, #11 on the Top Independent Albums chart and #48 on the Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
In 2002, Thornton began recording ''The Resurrection of Dr. Octagon'' with producer Fanatik J, signing a contract with CMH Records to release the album, which was eventually completed without much input from Thornton, due to a falling out over contractual terms. Thornton, Marc Live and H-Bomb formed the group KHM, releasing the album ''Game'' on November 19, 2002, changing their name to "The Clayborne Family" by the release of their second album.
On October 12, 2004, Real Talk Entertainment issued the unauthorized release ''Dr. Octagon Part 2''. The album was discontinued by court order. On April 25, 2006, Thornton released the album ''Nogatco Rd.'' under the name Mr. Nogatco. On June 27, ''The Return of Dr. Octagon'' was released by OCD International, an imprint of CMH, advertised as the official follow-up to ''Dr. Octagonecologyst''. Some critics felt that it was not as good as its predecessor. Thornton stated that he liked the album, but felt that it hurt his reputation as a musician. In August, Thornton performed under the Dr. Octagon billing, but did not acknowledge the release of the OCD album.
In 2007, Ultramagnetic MCs released the reunion album ''The Best Kept Secret''. In 2009, Kool Keith released the concept album ''Tashan Dorrsett''; a follow-up, ''The Legend of Tashan Dorrsett'', followed two years later.
Lyrical and performance style
Thornton's lyrics are often abstract, surreal, and filled with non-sequiturs and juvenile humor. Thornton is also known for an explicit style focusing on sexual themes, which Thornton has referred to as "pornocore". In a 2007 interview, Thornton claims to have "invented horrorcore".

The duo set up a studio in Berlin on Paul-Lincke-Ufer, in a building which was eventually to house Mark Ernestus’ distributing company and shop Hard Wax, and the label's mastering studio Dubplates & Mastering, set up to ensure a desired dynamic quality for the vinyl.
The Basic Channel imprint ceased business in 1995 (apart from two releases almost a decade later that were originally issued on Carl Craig's Planet E label), but were followed by a string of similar labels. Among the most important were Chain Reaction, which released non-Von Oswald/Ernestus productions and helped launch the careers of dub-influenced minimal techno producers such as Monolake and Porter Ricks; Basic Replay, which specialises in reggae and dancehall re-issues; Main Street, for house-related releases; and Burial Mix and Rhythm & Sound, which saw the duo's sound move away from the Detroit blueprint and closer to vocal-lead dub and reggae. Their ''With The Artists'' album, released as Rhythm & Sound and featuring celebrated reggae and dancehall vocalists such as Sugar Minott, featured in the top 50 records of the year for 2003 in ''The Wire'' magazine.
Basic Channel also run a comprehensive programme of re-issues for the American reggae label Wackies.

Richard Quitevis, born October 7, 1969, in San Francisco, California, known by his stage name DJ Qbert or Qbert, is a Filipino-American Turntablist and composer.
Early life
Growing up in San Francisco's Excelsior District on Moscow Street, he graduated from Luther Burbank Middle School and in 1987 from Balboa High School. Qbert started playing with records at the age of 15, although he got his first Fisher-Price turntable as a toddler. He was influenced by the street performers and graffiti artists of the local hip hop community in the mid 1980s. It was at Balboa's school cafeteria that he went up against Mix Master Mike. The two are good friends.
Career
Qbert started his musical career in a group called FM20 with Mix Master Mike and DJ Apollo in 1990. In New York when playing a show, Crazy Legs saw them and invited them to join the Rock Steady Crew. They accepted the offer to join the crew. Going by the name Rock Steady DJs they then proceeded to take the 1992 Disco Mix Club World DJ Championships (DMC) world title. Qbert was also one of the founding members of the band Invisibl Skratch Piklz. Although there were other turntablist crews before the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, the Skratch Piklz were the first to apply the band concept to turntablism, layering drums, basslines, and scratch solos on top of each other. QBert, along with other Skratch Piklz, created a series of videos entitled ''Turntable TV''. Now out of print, the first 5 episodes were released on VHS and contained demonstrations, showcases, skits, and other DJ related content.QBert's solo efforts include 1994's ''Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik'', and 1998's ''Wave Twisters.'' The latter album was created mainly with samplers and beat machines versus the turntable, and later turned into an animated feature of the same title. ''Wave Twisters'' (2001) the movie was somewhat unusual in that the animators and digital artists had to invent images and movements to the pre-recorded music, as opposed to the other way around (although not unprecedented; Disney's Fantasia was made the same way).
More recently he has worked with Vestax to develop the QFO, an all-in-one scratching instrument. The QFO combines a turntable with a mixer's crossfader. In 2006 he introduced the QBert turntable cartridge, a model put out by Ortofon.
In 2009 Qbert launched the Qbert Skratch University, an online school and community for DJ's.
Personal life
In a 2011 interview with the website ''WeBeVegan.org'', Qbert stated that he is a vegan.
Media appearances
His music was also featured in the video game ''Tony Hawk's Underground''. He has also appeared himself in ''DJ Hero 2''.
