Jasper is a computer software project to create a reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard (i.e. ISO/IEC 15444-1) - started in 1997 at Image Power Inc. and at the University of British Columbia. It consists of a C library and some sample applications useful for testing the codec.

The copyright owner began licensing the code to the public under an MIT License-style license in 2004 in response to requests from the open-source community.  JasPer operated as a component of many software projects, both free and proprietary, including (but not limited to) netpbm (as of release 10.12), ImageMagick and KDE (as of version 3.2).  the GEGL graphics library supported JasPer in its latest Git versions.

Jasper AI is used to generate text through natural language processing (NLP) and natural language generation (NLG) methods. The algorithm organizes and creates NLG-based content. This text generation model is typically trained through unsupervised pre-training in which the language transformation model learns and captures countless pieces of valuable information from a large dataset.

In a series of objective JPEG-2000-compression quality tests conducted in 2004, "Jasper was the best codec, closely followed by IrfanView and Kakadu".
However, Jasper remains one of the slowest implementations of the JPEG-2000 codec, as it was designed for reference, not performance.

Etymology 
The name "Jasper" has simultaneous connotations with Canada's Jasper National Park, with the semi-precious gemstone, jasper, and with "JP" as an abbreviation of the JPEG-2000 standard.

Strobilisation or transverse fission is a form of asexual reproduction consisting of the spontaneous transverse segmentation of the body. It is observed in certain cnidarians and helminths. This mode of reproduction is characterized by high offspring output, which, in the case of the parasitic tapeworms, is of great significance.

Strobilation in cnidarians
The process starts with preliminary morphological changes. In particular, the cnidarian's tentacles tend to be reabsorbed.
Neck-formation: transverse constrictions appear near the upper extremity of the animal. A strobilating polyp is called a strobila while the non-strobilating polyp is called a scyphistoma or scyphopolyp.
Segmentation: the number of constriction sites increases and migrates down the body length, transforming the body into a sequence of disks. The fissures intensify until the initial body is divided into equally spaced, separate segments. The oral end of the polyp becomes the oral end of the ephyra.
Metamorphosis: neurosecretory products of the two previous processes now disappear.

Neck-formation and segmentation are only separated for clarity purposes. In reality, the two processes are simultaneous, with segmentation to release new ephyras occurring at the upper end while neck formation spreads further down the body. Usually, a portion of the animal remains adhered to the substrate and regenerates the body.

Examples
The moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) reproduces both sexually and by strobilation. This latter process occurs during the colonial polyp stage and produces either polyps or juvenile Medusae called ephyra. Strobilation tend to occur at specific periods, typically early spring. As ephyra size remains constant regardless of the polyp size, larger polyps produce more numerous ephyras.
Some scyphozoans, such as Nausithoe aurea, cnidarians also strobilate in their solitary polyp form, producing either ephyra or planuloids. Strobilation does not happen periodically, but is thought to be induced by external stimuli, such as iodine, light regime, temperature, or food availability.

Induction in laboratory conditions
Strobilation is successfully induced in laboratory conditions by intensive feeding and temperature lowering, and also by the effect of artificial compounds.

Strobilation in helminths
In cestodes, the whole body except for the head and the neck undergoes strobilation continuously, reflecting the important role reproduction plays in the parasitic mode of life. The strobilating section is called strobila, or scolex, and each of its segment is a proglottid. As they mature, proglottids are disposed of in the feces of the host.

The Chechen-Slav ethnic clashes took place from 1958 to 1965 in North Caucasus (part of the Soviet Union at the time), upon ethnic tensions between Slavic settlers and local Chechens and Ingushs. The violence began in 1958, upon a conflict between a Russian sailor and an Ingush youngster over a girl, in which the Russian was fatally injured. The incident quickly deteriorated into mass ethnic riots in Grozny and surroundings, as Slavic mobs attacked Chechens and Ingushs and looted property throughout the region for 4 days. Ethnic clashes continued through 1960s, and in 1965 some 16 clashes were reported, taking tall of 185 severe injuries, 19 of them fatal. By late 1960, the region calmed down and the Chechen-Russian conflict came to its lowest point until the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the eruption of Chechen Wars in 1990.

Background

According to Soviet sources, Chechens joined the Wehrmacht upon German invasion of the region in 1941, although this claim is disputed as little evidence exists. By January 1943, the German retreat started, while the Soviet government began discussing the deportation of Chechen and Ingush people far from the North Caucasus. In February 1944, under the direct command of Lavrentiy Beria, almost a half million Chechens and Ingush were removed from their homes and forcibly settled in Central Asia. They were put in forced labor camps in Kazakhstan and Kirgiziya. After Stalin's death in 1953, Nikita Khrushchev came to power and soon denounced his predecessor. In 1957, Chechens were allowed to return to their homes. The Chechen–Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was reestablished.

Events
The violence began in 1958 with the 1958 Grozny riots, starting as a conflict between a Russian sailor and an Ingush youngster over a girl (a fiancé of the Ingush youngster), in which the Russian was fatally injured. The incident quickly deteriorated into mass ethnic riots, as Slavic mobs attacked Chechens and Ingushs and looted property throughout the region for 4 days. Ethnic clashes continued through 1960s, and in 1965 some 16 clashes were reported, causing 185 severe injuries, 19 of them fatal. By late 1960, the region calmed down and the Chechen-Russian conflict came to its lowest point until the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the eruption of Chechen Wars in 1990.

Notes
[a]. At least 20 cumulative deaths occurred during the period of the riots:
 2 killed - 1 Russian fatally injured in 1958. At least 1 elderly Chechen killed by Slavic mobs.

David Arthur Kirkwood (September 20, 1935 – January 2012) was an American pentathlete and actor. He competed at the 1964 Summer Olympics winning a silver medal in the team event.

Kirkwood was born in Jackson, Mississippi but moved with his family to Los Angeles, California as a child. He attended Susan Miller Dorsey High School. After graduating from Dorsey in 1952, Kirkwood attended George Pepperdine College where he studied teaching and graduated in 1956.

Olympic experience 
Kirkwood enlisted in the Air Force in 1958. The following year, Kirkwood learned of the modern pentathlon and determined to give it a try. He expressed an interest with the Army and was given a tryout at the U.S. Modern Pentathlon Training Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas where the bulk of the U.S. pentathletes were training for the 1960 Summer Olympics. While he wasn't able to make that 1960 team he did attend the games in Rome as a spectator. Kirkwood showed enough promise that the Army allowed him to be permanently assigned to Fort Sam Houston to train for the next Olympics.

Over the next four years, Kirkwood devoted himself to a daily training regimen alongside the other pentathlon hopefuls. He made the three man U.S. team for the 1964 Games, which won a silver medal in the team competition. Kirkwood placed ninth among the individual competitors.

Later life 
After the Olympics Kirkwood continued his military career which lasted 20 years and included a tour of duty in Vietnam and stops at various bases in Europe. He married and he and his wife, Sylvia Rae Kirkwood raised four children: Robyn Katherine Kirkwood-Rhoades, Kerith E. Kirkwood, David A. Kirkwood and Adam R. Kirkwood. He ended his military career stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana and he remained there after his Air Force retirement in 1978 with the rank of Major. After his Air Force retirement, he worked as a substitute teacher and began participating in community theater.

After a divorce in 1996, Kirkwood returned to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. He won roles in numerous television movies and series, including Don King Story, The Pretender, Tracy Ullman Takes On, ER, 3rd Rock from the Sun and Walker, Texas Ranger among others.

Kirkwood left California for Santa Fe, New Mexico in the early 2000s. He remarried Eliza M. Schmid and worked as an artist's model. He also spent time writing a history of the modern pentathlon, Pentathlon: Ancient, Modern, Contemporary.  He died in Albuquerque, New Mexico in January 2012. His book was published posthumously in March 2012.

Tom Crone is a British barrister, last working for News International as Legal Affairs manager, before he resigned during the News International phone hacking scandal in 2011.

Career
Crone qualified as a barrister, and after five years of private practise joined Mirror Group Newspapers. In 1985, he joined News International, appointed as Legal Affairs manager. During his time at the group, acting for The Sun and the News of the World, he won plaudits from both colleagues and rivals for his unerring journalistic instinct: "He is a unique lawyer in that he has great journalistic instincts. He is sort of 10% journalist and is incredibly streetwise." A close personal friend of the late George Carman QC, Crone was one of the first media managers to use libel defence specialist John Kelsey-Fry QC. He also hit out at then Attorney General for England and Wales Lord Goldsmith for clamping down on media coverage of high-profile cases, such as the allegations of rape made against a group of Premier League footballers, before they go to trial.

Resignation

As part of his role at News International, Crone gave evidence before parliamentary committees in 2009, stating that he had uncovered no evidence of phone hacking beyond the criminal offences committed by the royal editor Clive Goodman.  In 2011, within 10 days of the revelation of the hacking of Milly Dowler's phone, he resigned from his position at News International. He maintains that he did not see an internal report suggesting that phone hacking at the paper reached more widely than Goodman. Since police renewed investigations in 2011, 90 people have been arrested and 16 formally charged with crimes in conjunction with illegal acquisition of confidential information.  Many of these people were employees or agents of News International during the period that Crone was the legal manager there.

On 30 August 2012, he was arrested on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications and was taken to a local police station for questioning.
