Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch (pronounced /kwlku/) (21 November 1863 - 12 May 1944) was a Cornish writer, who published under the pen name of Q.

He guided the taste of many who never met him, including American writer Helene Hanff, author of 84 Charing Cross Road and, via his literary amanuensus John Mortimer, the putatively fictional Horace Rumpole.

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2003. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July of 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7 records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8]

Francis William Bain (18631940) was a British writer of fantasy stories that he claimed were translated from Sanskrit. The first of these was A Digit of the Moon (1898), which Bain claimed was his translation of the eighth part of sixteen of a Sanskrit manuscript given to him by a brahmin.
