William Cookesbury or Coksbery, or Cookisbury was a London capper, haberdasher, and supplier of feathers.

Cookesbury supplied caps and hats to Elizabeth I from 1584 and was listed as the queen's capper to Elizabeth I in November 1587. He made caps and hat for the queen from velvet and taffeta in 1584. Although he continued working for the queen his name is not mentioned much in her surviving accounts. Cookesbury provided plumes of ostrich feathers for the horses at the funeral of Elizabeth I, their trappings were gilded by the painter Leonard Fryer.

Cookesbury worked for James VI and I after the Union of the Crowns in 1603. Orders from King James include, 17 black beaver hats lined with rich taffeta, with treble black "sipers" bands and plumes of black feathers to them; a hat of black beaver richly embroidered with a plume of white feathers, a hat of ash colour beaver lined with green taffeta with a band embroidered with Venice gold and silver and a plume of gold to it, others hats, one with a plume of white feathers and a bird of paradise with a velvet band for the King's jewels, and hats for Prince Henry. It seems likely that he made matching hats for James, Henry, and Anne of Denmark.

Wearing matching outfits had already become a habit at the Stuart court, Anne of Denmark and her ladies-in-waiting in Scotland, Margaret Winstar and Marie Stewart, and a page William Belo, had also sometimes worn matching outfits and hats.

He also supplied plumes of feathers for beds, which typically topped the corners of a canopy. These were made from egret feathers and dyed in various colours. Plumes were also supplied to the royal horses. King James made Cookesbury and his son-in-law Denis Peiper his official suppliers of hats and feathers for his beds and stables in around 1607, and so he was known as a royal haberdasher and received a retaining fee.

He was involved in the development and settlement of land in the seigneury of L'Islet and was also a commissioner for the construction of roads in the neighbouring seigneuries. In 1788, he married Geneviève Fortin, a relative. Fortin generally supported the Parti canadien and then the Parti patriote and voted in support of the Ninety-Two Resolutions. He died in office at the age of 76.

His grandson Louis-Napoléon Fortin served in the Quebec legislative assembly.

The name was associated with Monmouthshire and derives from the Old Welsh personal name Seisyllt. The name may be related to that of the local Celtic tribe (Silures) and the successor kingdom (Essyllwg).

The spelling has been modified greatly as a result of folk etymological association with the Latin name C(a)ecilius, a derivative of caecus ("blind").

Eric Clauesson (or Erik Klasson) (died 1492) was a Swedish man executed for sorcery, theft and heresy, though in reality he was executed for his paganism. His case illustrates the survival of the pre-Christian pagan Norse religion in Sweden as late as in the 15th century. 

Clauesson worked as a servant to Hans Persson on the Swedish island of Värmdö. In 1492, he was put before the court in Stockholm, where he confessed that he had sworn himself to the old Nordic god Odin to escape poverty, and that he had stolen from his master several times. This was a peculiar case; Clauesson was to be judged for paganism, which could be seen as a form of heresy, but officially for sorcery, an unusual crime in Sweden at this point, and it is hard to determine whether this was a witch trial or a trial of heresy. Clauesson himself clearly meant the old Pagan god Odin (In Swedish:Oden); but Oden, like other pagan gods, was considered by the church to be a devil, so "Oden" was translated as "Satan" by the court, and Clauesson was thereby judged as a devil-worshipper. This was, by all accounts, a trial of heresy, against paganism.      

The verdict was that he should be executed by the breaking wheel and hanged for the theft. For his other, religious crime, of "the highest matter" against "God and his immortal soul", he was sentenced to be burned at the stake; as the religious crime was more important than the theft, this was the punishment that was to be carried out.  While Swedish law did not actually mention such crimes at the time, the verdict can be seen as a sign that the Catholic Church at that point held a strong position in Sweden, similar to that of the continent, where cases of heresy were more common.    

Clauesson was not the only one to be put on trial for worshipping the old gods.  On 27 October 1484, Ragvald Odenskarl (Ragvald The Follower of Odin, as the court called him) was put on trial in Stockholm for theft from several churches in Uppland; he claimed to have served Odin for seven years, and named an accomplice, Johan Land. Odenskarl is believed to have been burned, while Land saved himself by asking to be an executioner.

Christine Gillian Jackson (1962 – 24 January 2016) was a British-born Australian cellist.

Jackson was born in London, and trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. During her classical career, she played as a cellist for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Hallé, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. She also worked in the pop music area, as a session cellist for artists such as Peter Gabriel, The Beach Boys, Shirley Bassey, Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan.

Jackson moved to Sydney, Australia to join the Australian Chamber Orchestra. After her stint with the ACO, she remained in Australia, relocating to Cairns, Queensland, where she was known as the "Barefoot Cellist". She worked with Aboriginal musician David Hudson on music for cello and didgeridoo, a combination which she said worked "really well".

In 2009, Jackson had a brain aneurysm which left her paralysed on one side. She died in January 2016, aged 53, following complications from that event.

The Cape whitefish or Berg-breede River whitefish (Pseudobarbus capensis)  is a ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is placed with the South African redfins in Pseudobarbus. It is tetraploid. Its closest living relative was at one time considered the sawfin (P. serra).

Distribution and ecology
It is endemic to the Western Cape Province of South Africa, where it occurs in the Breede River's Brandvlei Dam and Sanddrift Dam, as well as the Hex River. Formerly, it was also found in and around the Berg River, but it seems to have disappeared from there. Populations have also been transplanted to farm water catchments, but it is not well known if these have thrived or failed.

It inhabits the deeper stretches of rivers with rocky shores or riparian trees. While young fish are common in riffles, adults are not rheophilic and will thrive in slow-moving water. Young fish are carnivores, eating zooplankton and small aquatic invertebrates. Adults have more omnivorous diets that consist of benthic invertebrates and algae. The breeding season is in late spring (about October) when the water has warmed to above . Schools of adults form to migrate to riffles with over one meter/yard deep water and spawn in the late hours of morning. A good-sized adult female produces about 100,000 eggs. In dams, it will use rocky and gravelly substrate in the shallows as a spawning place. The species is long-lived.

Status and conservation
This species is considered Endangered by the IUCN as it has declined much in recent decades. The main threat is the introduced smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu), which has killed off the stocks of the fish in the Berg River watershed by eating juveniles. In Brandvlei Dam, where the barb's population is most healthy, the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is spreading; its impact will need to be assessed. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus), introduced for aquaculture, are competing with the Cape whitefish for food. Water pollution is also a problem.

It is also listed as endangered by the Nature Conservation Ordinance of Western Cape Province. For the time being, it may not be killed and only caught for supervised transfer trials to other habitats. An initiative is aimed at restoring the stocks, so this large fish can be used in fishing and maybe aquaculture as an alternative to the harmful introduced species. 

There are many reasons as to why the population of the cape whitefish have recently been declining, with human-related activity being one of them. A severe flood in 2008 as well as invasions of other predatory fish species are a likely cause of the decline as well. In order to prevent further decline, there are conservation actions in place such as managing non-native fish invasions as well as lessening the agricultural impact on aquatic habitat.
