Inproclaiming this Decade, the international community is recognizing that people of African descent represent a distinct group whose human rights must be promoted and protected. Around 200 million people identifying themselves as being of African descent live in the Americas. Many millions more live in other parts of the world, outside of the African continent.

Descent is a noun that means the act of moving downward (descending), a downward movement, or downward movement in general. Dissent can be a noun meaning disagreement, as in I voiced my dissent, or a verb meaning to disagree, as in The judge is expected to dissent. Decent is an adjective that means adequate or suitable, as in a decent meal, or good or respectable, as in a decent person.


Despite their similar spelling, descent and decent are pronounced differently. In descent, the emphasis is on the -scent part of the word, with the first part pronounced like dih. In decent, the emphasis is on the first part of the word, which is pronounced like dee.


Having a rescue plan is only part of providing fast, secure fallen user rescues; the right equipment and personnel are just as important. FallTech products are designed for both self and assisted rescues that require stable, controlled descents. For high levels of protection, we build each component to stringent standards for safety, versatility, and dependability. Our solutions are durably built and configured to perform in virtually any construction or industry rescue operation.


It seemed impossible to find trout in a waterfall like this, but I thought that when I was in Yosemite in October, I would have a look. September and October typically provide the lowest flows of the year.


It required careful planning, even more careful navigation, and a little luck. Follow along on this adventure of all adventures to see what Fly Fisherman editor and publisher Ross Purnell and his crew find, and how they deal with the numerous challenges, both foreseen and unforeseen, in Descent.


Fly-fishing competition guys like Lance Egan and George Daniel figured out that you didn't always need to strip a streamer to draw a trout's attention. Sometimes a very slow, swinging and even hopping motion down deep was just what the fish were after. Egan has debuted his latest jig-hook streamer offering, and dubbed it the Poacher. It is not only a compelling fly to tie and fish, but the logic and thought process behind it are interesting as well.


A look back at Pandion Creative's film The Tightest Line that profiles several guides across the globe, after 10 years. Huge dry-fly browns, fly-eating sharks, Pacific Northwest steelhead, and a charming collective of thoughts and personalities on fly fishing.


The Mr. Jones, an adult cranefly pattern that skips, skates, and hops, has proved effective all summer long, especially during the hot afternoons and early mornings when these bugs are most active. I find myself often tying it on when things are slow just because it's so fun to fish, and more often than not, I end up smiling and laughing at the antics of aggressive fish making fools of themselves.


The battle between angler and trout is one of the most exciting and nerve-rattling experiences in fly fishing. In that intense moment it feels like time is standing still. The following tips will help calm your nerves, and allow you a chance to gain control. Whether you're fishing drys, nymphs, or streamers, battling a resident river trout or a lake monster, these techniques will tire the fish quickly, and successfully allow the trout a safe release to fight another day.


Yellowstone National Park employees and Ph.D. students horse pack into the most remote location in the Lower 48 to research spawning-size Yellowstone cutthroats from Yellowstone Lake. The upper upper Yellowstone River drainage, also known as the Thorofare, has long been considered one of the world's greatest fly-fishing destinations.


Like it or not, competition angling is driving many of the advancements in our sport. And while I generally find Perdigons and their cousins to be pretty boring flies, Zach VanDeHey, a 39-year-old Oregonian, and his approach to his Picky Eater Perdigon gives me hope for the future.VanDeHey hatched the idea for his Picky Eater while feeling was that his conventional Perdigons were sinking too fast. Though the entire premise behind slender-bodied nymphs with big tungsten beads is to plummet through the water column to the bottom, these fish were feeding in the middle of the water column. VanDeHey got to work on the vise to design a fly that would sink more slowly and spawned the brilliant idea of not only downsizing the bead, but also adding a dubbing-loop CDC collar to function as a parachute and reduce the rate of descent. This flowing CDC collar adds tons of fluid motion to the fly, and creates enough drag and lift to keep the fly drifting mid-column.Follow along as I twist up this super-fishy fly.


Transmissions within and across artworks and artists reverberate throughout the gallery as unexpected genealogies and unruly inheritance. This exhibition considers the aesthetic, sensory, and social horizons that emerge when we dissent from traditional lines of descent.


Virginia Overton (b. 1971, Nashville, Tennessee; lives New York) has been the subject of solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions at several international venues, including White Cube, London; Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami; Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, New York; Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland; and Mitchell-Innes and Nash, The Kitchen, and MoMA PS1 in New York. She is currently working on a permanent installation for the main branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library in Ohio and a solo exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Her first monograph was recently co-published by JRPRingier and Kunsthalle Bern.


Lisa Tan (b. 1973, Syracuse, New York; lives Stockholm) received an MFA from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and a PhD from the University of Gothenburg, Valand Academy, Sweden. Her work has been exhibited at Artists Space, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara; LAXART, Los Angeles; New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York; and Temple Bar Gallery + Studios, Dublin, among others. Her recent book, Lisa Tan: Sunsets, Notes from Underground, Waves, is published by Archive Books, Berlin.


Descent animates alternative modes and materials of inheritance across generations of families, artists, and artworks. While inheritance, influence, and other acts of transmission often move down vertical lines of property and patrimony, the works in this exhibition unsettle this passage with forms of heredity that are often undervalued or unconventional: used or surplus possessions, intergenerational collaborations, maternal memories and matter, transatlantic journeys, spoken words, and sound waves.


We study accelerated mirror descent dynamics in continuous and discrete time. Combining the original continuous-time motivation of mirror descent with a recent ODE interpretation of Nesterov's accelerated method, we propose a family of continuous-time descent dynamics for convex functions with Lipschitz gradients, such that the solution trajectories are guaranteed to converge to the optimum at a $O(1/t^2)$ rate. We then show that a large family of first-order accelerated methods can be obtained as a discretization of the ODE, and these methods converge at a $O(1/k^2)$ rate. This connection between accelerated mirror descent and the ODE provides an intuitive approach to the design and analysis of accelerated first-order algorithms.


Requests for name changes in the electronic proceedings will be accepted with no questions asked. However name changes may cause bibliographic tracking issues. Authors are asked to consider this carefully and discuss it with their co-authors prior to requesting a name change in the electronic proceedings.


I have recently come across PEG parsers, and Guido van Rossum's article on PEG parsers and how to construct them. That article talks about "PEG" parsers but internally it looks exactly like a recursive descent parser (generator). I have a feeling that that PEG parsers have something to do with generating recursive descent parsers, but am not sure.


Bryan Ford (the creator of PEG) in his 2004 article describes the first two, but the first point is not a novel contribution. Rather, PEG is equivalent to top-down parsing language (TDPL) from the 1970s in terms of expressive power, but Ford borrows convenient aspects of EBNF and regular expression syntax to make grammars easier to read and write than the extremely minimal TDPL. Basically, PEG's notation makes TDPL more approachable, like writing code in C or Python instead of Assembly.


In Ford's 2002 article based on his master's thesis, he also introduces the Packrat parsing algorithm which allows recursive descent parsers, even those with infinite lookahead like PEG, to run in linear time by memoizing, or caching, intermediate results. This is a theoretical result, however, and even if it helps with some pathological cases, in many cases the overhead of Packrat's memoization is significant. Parsing with PEGs without Packrat parsing is simply recursive descent parsing.


One interesting thing about PEG's formal properties, compared to CFGs, is the prioritized choice operator (PEG notation uses / instead of EBNF's for ambiguous choice). With prioritized choice, alternatives are attempted in order, and once an alternative succeeds, the others will not be attempted. Thus, a PEG, unlike a context-free grammar (CFG), is unambiguous; there is either one parse for an input, or no parses. Relatedly, PEGs are considered "analytical" grammars rather than "generative" grammars (e.g., CFG, which has its roots in linguistics for describing natural language utterances) as their purpose is for parsing rather than licensing (or generating) valid strings.
