Asian Americans are emerging as a political force and yet their politics have not been systematically studied by either social scientists or politicians. Asian American politics transcend simple questions of voting behavior and elective office, going all the way back to early immigration laws and all the way forward to ethnic targeting. For the first time, this book brings together original sources on key topics influencing Asian American politics, knit together by expert scholars who introduce each subject and place it in context with political events and the greater emerging literature. Court cases, legislation, demographics, and key pieces on topics ranging from gender to Japanese American redress to the Los Angeles riots to Wen Ho Lee round out this innovative reader on a politically active group likely to grow in number and electoral impact.

This book discusses the state-of-the-art in privacy-preserving deep learning (PPDL), especially as a tool for machine learning as a service (MLaaS), which serves as an enabling technology by combining classical privacy-preserving and cryptographic protocols with deep learning. Google and Microsoft announced a major investment in PPDL in early 2019. This was followed by Google's infamous announcement of "Private Join and Compute," an open source PPDL tools based on secure multi-party computation (secure MPC) and homomorphic encryption (HE) in June of that year. One of the challenging issues concerning PPDL is selecting its practical applicability despite the gap between the theory and practice. In order to solve this problem, it has recently been proposed that in addition to classical privacy-preserving methods (HE, secure MPC, differential privacy, secure enclaves), new federated or split learning for PPDL should also be applied. This concept involves building a cloud framework that enables collaborative learning while keeping training data on client devices. This successfully preserves privacy and while allowing the framework to be implemented in the real world. This book provides fundamental insights into privacy-preserving and deep learning, offering a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in PPDL methods. It discusses practical issues, and leveraging federated or split-learning-based PPDL. Covering the fundamental theory of PPDL, the pros and cons of current PPDL methods, and addressing the gap between theory and practice in the most recent approaches, it is a valuable reference resource for a general audience, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practitioners interested learning about PPDL from the scratch, and researchers wanting to explore PPDL for their applications.

The true story of the life of Kim Harris Collins as a victim of domestic violence for 26 years. This book tells how God had his hand on her and her children thru many terrifying situations of which they was verbally and physically abused, even being shot at, and how God did many miracles in their lives. Her hope is to encourage women who live similar lives to turn to God for guidance and deliverance. He will make a way of escape when you ask Him.

Sometimes trials, tests, or tribulations may feel like a guided tour into the depths of hell. The heat of the situation may be seemingly unbearable, but just remember the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego being cast into the fiery furnace. Even though the furnance was heated seven times higher than usual, they all walked out of the flames without so much as a single hair singed. Daniel 3:16-30]

More than a delightful story, ""Captain Tommy"" teaches understanding and kindness. Tommy goes to 'space camp' and meets John, a boy who seems 'spaced out' and different from other children. The camp counselor makes Tommy the captain of the spaceship, and gives him the job of getting John to interact with the other space-kids. After several attempts, Tommy succeeds, and John shows everyone how to climb a 'space pole' and slide back down. The kids are impressed, and John becomes a true part of the group, no longer 'lost in space'. This title is great for kids with spectrum children in their lives.
