Ivan Noble (June 1967 – 31 January 2005) was a British journalist who worked for BBC News Online and became well known for his diary documenting his fight against cancer.

Born in Leeds, he lived in East Germany working as a translator between 1988 and 1990. He then joined the BBC, originally working for them as a translator, then as a sub-editor in Nairobi, before working in the Science and Technology section of the BBC News website, where he was known for his love of complicated gadgetry.

He was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme on 29 August 2002, and wrote about his battle against the cancer on the BBC News website in a series entitled Tumour Diary. Noble continued to write stories for the series until 30 January 2005, the day before he died. The tumour left him with serious visual impairments on the right side. In December 2004, having completed several courses of chemotherapy, and after a brief remission, his tumour started to grow again. Noble enjoyed a huge amount of public support during this period.

Rufus Cooper III (born March 21, 1978), also known by his stage name Young Noble, is an American rapper. Best known for being part of Tupac Shakur's rap group Outlawz. Noble joined the Outlawz in 1996, shortly after the release of Shakur's infamous diss record Hit Em Up, which the Outlawz were featured on. He was also the last member to be added to the group by Tupac himself, before the late rapper's passing.

Noble made his debut on Shakur's album The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory on the songs "Bomb First (My Second Reply)", "Hail Mary", "Life of an Outlaw", and "Just Like Daddy".

On December 21, 1999, Shakur's album Still I Rise was released which consisted of material recorded with 2Pac and one solo song. Noble replaced Fatal's vocals on the songs.

Through the Outlawz and Young Noble's twitter pages, together they announced the release of two volumes of mixtapes titled "Outlaw Ridahz". Noble recently said on his official Facebook page that volume one would be dropping in January of 2012. He also said it would feature some of his mentor's Tupac Shakur's old affiliates, including Thug Life which was 2Pac's group before he created The Outlawz, Money B (who was a member of Shakur's old group Digital Undergound) and B-Legit who featured on Shakur's 1996 album on Death Row Records, All Eyez on Me, on the track "Aint Hard 2 Find".

Bruce Washington (born April 3, 1977), better known by his stage name, Hussein Fatal, is an American rapper and a member of Outlawz. His rapper stage name is named after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Washington began rapping and drug dealing at a young age and went to the same school as Outlawz member, Yafeu Fula, later known as Yaki Kadafi. Kadafi told him that he knew Tupac Shakur, but Washington didn't believe him until Fula's mother said they were going to visit him in jail. When they went to visit him, Washington did a freestyle for Shakur and impressed him with his lyrical skills. Tupac quickly added Washington to his new group "Outlaw Immortalz", and gave him the alias "Hussein Fatal", after Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, for the Outlawz tyrant theme.

On February 13, 1996, Hussein Fatal made his debut on Tupac Shakur's 9x Platinum Double LP All Eyez on Me on the songs "All Bout U", & "When We Ride".

On June 4, 1996, Fatal was featured on Shakur's infamous diss song "Hit 'Em Up". The song is widely considered the most vicious diss song ever recorded due to its explicit lyrics and seriousness of violent intent towards Tupac's enemies. Fatal did the second verse on the song, attacking Shakur's rival's The Notorious B.I.G., Puffy, & the rap group Junior M.A.F.I.A..

Ross Markham Noble (born 5 June 1976 in Newcastle upon Tyne) is an English stand-up comedian from Cramlington, Northumberland.

Noble rose to mainstream popularity through making appearances on British television, particularly interviews and on celebrity quiz shows such as Have I Got News for You. He has also released DVDs of several of his tours.

In 2007 he was voted the 10th greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4's 100 Greatest Stand-Ups and again in the updated 2010 list as the 11th greatest stand-up comic.

Noble's stand-up routine is a largely improvised and surreal performance with a stream of consciousness delivery. Often, a large percentage of his set becomes based around heckles and conversations with members of the audience. Although he does often have a few set topics which he performs throughout a tour, he describes the planning for the entire show as "about four words on a piece of scrap paper".

Noble often mimes actions on-stage to help the audience visualise his surreal ideas, for example, telling the audience to never put a blanket over an owl, and exactly what an owl neck detection device is ("just a stick with a pointy bit on it") or showing the audience how to serve double header ice creams properly after considering his own made-up plot of 24 in which Jack Bauer escapes a cell using a greasy goose.
