[[Image:Amazon Echo Plus 02.jpg|thumb|The Amazon echo, an example of a voice computer.]]
'''Voice computing''' is the discipline that develops hardware or software to process voice inputs. <ref>Schwoebel, J. (2018). An Introduction to Voice Computing in Python. Boston; Seattle, Atlanta: NeuroLex Laboratories. https://ift.tt/2Pj6QmN>

It spans many other fields including [[human-computer interaction]], [[conversational computing]], [[linguistics]], [[natural language processing]], [[automatic speech recognition]], [[audio engineering]], [[digital signal processing]], [[cloud computing]], [[data science]], [[ethics]], [[law]], and [[information security]].

Voice computing has become increasingly significant in modern times, especially with the advent of [[smart speakers]] like the [[Amazon Echo]] and [[Google Assistant]], a shift towards [[serverless computing]], and improved accuracy of [[speech recognition]] and [[text-to-speech]] models.

==History==
Voice computing has a rich history. <ref>Timeline for Speech Recognition. https://ift.tt/2QxlzHb> Inspired by the human vocal tract, [[Wolfgang Kempelen]] built the acoustic-mechanical speech machine to produce the earliest synthetic speech sounds. This led to further work by Thomas Edison to record audio with [[dictation machines]] and play it back in corporate settings. In the 1950s-1960s there were primitive attempts to build automated [[speech recognition]] systems by [[Bell Labs]], [[IBM]], and others. However it was not until the 1980s that [[Hidden Markov Models]] were used to recognize up to 1,000 words that speech recognition systems became relevant.

Around 2011, [[Siri]] emerged on Apple iPhones as the first voice assistant accessible to consumers. This innovation led to a dramatic shift to building voice-first computing architectures. [[PS4]] was released by Sony in North America in 2013 (70+ million devices), Amazon released the [[Amazon Echo]] in 2014 (30+ million devices), [[Microsoft]] released Cortana (2015 - 400 million Windows 10 users), Google released [[Google Assistant]] (2016 - 2 billion active monthly users on Android phones), and Apple released HomePod (2018 - 500,000 devices sold and 1 billion devices active with iOS/Siri). These shifts, along with advancements in cloud infrastructure (e.g. [[Amazon Web Services]]) and [[codecs]], have solidified the voice computing field and made it widely relevant to the public at large.

==Hardware==
A <strong>voice computer</strong> is assembled hardware and software to process voice inputs.

Note that voice computers do not necessarily need a screen, such as in the traditional [[Amazon Echo]]. In other embodiments, traditional [[laptop computers]] or [[mobile phones]] could be used as as voice computers. Moreover, there has become increasingly more interfaces for voice computers with the advent of [[IoT]]-enabled devices, such as within cars or televisions.

As of September 2018, there are currently over 20,000 types of devices compatible with Amazon Alexa. <ref>Voicebot.AI. https://ift.tt/2Pj67C5>

==Software==
<strong>Voice computing software</strong> can read/write, record, clean, encrypt/decrypt, playback, transcode, transcribe, compress, publish, featurize, model, and visualize voice files.

Here are some popular software packages related to voice computing:
* <strong>[[FFmpeg]]</strong> - for [[transcoding]] audio files from one format to another (e.g. .WAV --> .MP3). <ref>FFmpeg. https://ift.tt/2QxlAed>
* <strong>[[Audacity]]</strong> - for recording and filtering audio. <ref>Audacity. https://ift.tt/2Pj6897>
* <strong>[[SoX]]</strong> - for manipulating audio files and removing environmental noise. <ref>SoX. https://ift.tt/2Qztp3l>
* <strong>Natural Language ToolKit</strong> - for featurizing transcripts with things like [[parts of speech]]. <ref>NLTK. https://ift.tt/2Pj69db>
* <strong>LibROSA</strong> - for visualizing audio file spectrograms and featurizing audio files. <ref>LibROSA. https://ift.tt/2QxlC5P>
* <strong>[[OpenSMILE]]</strong> - for featurizing audio files with things like mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients. <ref>OpenSMILE. https://ift.tt/2Pj69Kd>
* <strong>PocketSphinx</strong> - for transcribing speech files into text <ref>https://ift.tt/2QxlDGV>.
* <strong>Pyttsx3</strong> - for playing back audio files (text-to-speech). <ref>Pyttsx3. https://ift.tt/2Pj6U61>
* <strong>Pycryptodome</strong> - for encrypting and decrypting audio files. <ref>Pycryptodome. https://ift.tt/2QxlEKZ>

==Applications==
Voice computing applications span many industries including voice assistants, healthcare, e-Commerce, finance, supply chain, agriculture, text-to-speech, security, marketing, customer support, recruiting, cloud computing, microphone design, and podcasting. Voice technology is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19-25% by 2025, making it an attractive industry for startups and investors alike. <ref>Businesswire. https://ift.tt/2Pj6bSl>

==Legal considerations==
In the United States different states have varying [[telephone recording laws]]. In some states, it is legal to record a conversation with the consent of only one party, in others the consent of all parties is required.

Moreover, [[COPAA]] is a significant law to protect minors on the internet. With an increasing number of minors interacting with voice computing devices (e.g. the Amazon Alexa), the [[Federal Trade Commission]] recently relaxed the COPAA rule so that kids can issue voice searches and commands. <ref>Techcrunch. https://ift.tt/2QAxWCs>

Lastly, [[GDPR]] is a new European law that governs [[right to be forgotten]] and many other clauses for EU citizens. GDPR also is clear that companies need to outline clear measures to obtain consent if audio recordings are made and define the purpose and scope as to how these recordings will be used (e.g. for training purposes). The bar for valid consent has been raised much higher under the GDPR. Consents must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous; tacit consent is no longer be enough. <ref>IAPP. https://ift.tt/2PnFYC4>

All these things make it quite unclear how voice computing technology will be regulated into the future.

==Research Conferences==
There are many research conferences that relate to voice computing. Some of these include:
* [[International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing]]
* Interspeech <ref>Interspeech 2018. https://ift.tt/2QATlLF>
* AVEC <ref>AVEC 2018. https://ift.tt/2PnFZG8>
* IEEE Int'l Conf. on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition <ref>2018 FG. https://ift.tt/2QyxCUQ>
* ACII2019 The 8th Int'l Conf. on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction <ref>ASCII 2019. https://ift.tt/2PnG0Kc>

==Developer community==
Google Assistant has roughly 2,000 actions as of January 2018. <ref>Voicebot.ai. https://ift.tt/2QxPNtN>

There are over 50,000 Alexa skills worldwide as of September 2018. <ref>Voicebot.ai. https://ift.tt/2wwsokC. </ref>

In June 2017, [[Google]] released AudioSet,<ref>Google AudioSet. https://ift.tt/2QyXY9j> a large-scale collection of human-labeled 10-second sound clips drawn from YouTube videos. It contains 1,010,480 videos of human speech files, or 2,793.5 hours in total. <ref>Audioset data. https://ift.tt/2PnG1he> It was released as part of the IEEE ICASSP 2017 Conference. <ref>Gemmeke, J. F., Ellis, D. P., Freedman, D., Jansen, A., Lawrence, W., Moore, & Ritter, M. (2017, March). Audio set: An ontology and human-labeled dataset for audio events. In Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2017 IEEE International Conference on (pp. 776-780). IEEE.</ref>

In November 2017, [[Mozilla Foundation]] released the Common Voice Project, a collection of speech files to help contribute to the larger open source machine learning community.<ref>Common Voice Project. https://ift.tt/2Qzlu5V Voice Project. https://ift.tt/2PnG2li> The voicebank is currently 12GB in size, with more than 500 hours of English-language voice data that have been collected from 112 countries since the project's inception in June 2017. <ref>Mozilla's large repository of voice data will shape the future of machine learning. https://ift.tt/2QyRl6R> This dataset has already resulted in creative projects like the DeepSpeech model, an open source transcription model. <ref>DeepSpeech. https://ift.tt/2PnGosf>.

In August 2018, Jim Schwoebel <ref>Jim Schwoebel. https://ift.tt/2QEDSuo> released a book (Introduction to Voice Computing in Python) with a GitHub repository.<ref>Introduction to Voice Computing in Python. https://ift.tt/2PnG2Sk> This book contains 10 chapters and the GitHub repository contains over 200+ starter scripts to help get developers started programming voice computing applications in Python. <ref>Voicebook. https://ift.tt/2QyxDbm>

Why Future Congresswoman Can't Afford the Rent

【Move to another page】

https://ift.tt/2QyLCOr
Why Future Congresswoman Can't Afford the Rent Like many millennials, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 29, cannot afford to pay the rent in Washington, D.C. But Ocasio-Cortez isn't your average twenty-something. The New Yorker was just elected to the U.S. Congress, where she will earn an annual salary of $174,000. But that money won't start coming in until she takes office in Washington this January. In the meantime, Ocasio-Cortez told The New York Times she hopes her savings will tide her over for the next three months. The challenges facing Ocasio-Cortez, who will represent New York's 14th Congressional district, are perhaps even greater than for other people her age because members of Congress are required to maintain a residence in their home district or state, which means Ocasio-Cortez will have to bear the expense of having two separate homes. Rising costs are bound to make this housing requirement even more challenging. Rent has increased 61 percent over the past 18 years, but incomes for younger Americans have only gone up 31 percent, according to Apartment List. A study released earlier this year by the real estate website, which identifies millennials as people born between 1982 and 2004, analyzed the data of more than 13,000 respondents in that age group. Almost 8 percent of non-student millennials rely on financial help from family to cover their rents, according to the study. And another 17 percent expect family to help them with a down payment for a house whenever they decide to buy. The respondents who say they receive rent assistance from their parents include nurses, teachers, receptionists and cashiers, while some are unemployed. Rents are up year-over-year in most of the country's largest markets. Rents have increased in 83 of the 100 largest U.S. cities over the past twelve months. The average cost to rent a one-bedroom apartment in Washington, D.C. is $1,343. About 7 percent of millennials currently living in the nation's capital rely on financial help from their parents to get by. When Ocasio-Cortez moves to Washington, her congressional salary, which will be more than three times the national average, could help take some of the sting out of her job-related relocation.

Female genital mutilation in India

Johnuniq: for Prevalence of female genital mutilation by country



Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)
Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)

[[Female genital mutilation]] (FGM) is practised in [[India]] by some Islamic groups. The procedure is generally performed when a girl is seven years old and involves the total or partial removal of the [[clitoral hood]]. Consequences of FGM may range from discomfort to [[sepsis]].

== Occurrence ==
FGM is practised by the [[Dawoodi Bohra]], a sect of [[Shia Islam]] with one million members in India.<ref name="Cantera">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> In the community, FGM is performed on six- or seven-year-old girls in a form known as ''khatna'' or ''khafz'' involving the total or partial removal of the clitoral hood.<ref name="PlaguesThousands">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The spiritual leader of the Dawoodi Bohra, Syedna [[Mufaddal Saifuddin]], has stated that male and female circumcision (respectively ''khatna'' and ''khafz'') are required as "acts of religious purity".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The term ''khafd'' is also used to describe the practice.<ref name="Cantera"/> Other Bohra sects including the [[Sulemani Bohras]] and the [[Alavi Bohras]]<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>, as well as some [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] communities in [[Kerala]], are reported as practising FGM.<ref name="Punwani">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

== Supreme Court ==
In May 2017 a [[Public interest litigation in India|public interest litigation]] (PIL) case was raised in India's [[Supreme Court of India|Supreme Court]]. The case was filed by Sunita Tiwari, a lawyer based in [[Delhi]], seeking a ban on FGM in India. The Supreme Court received the petition and sought responses from four states and four ministries of the central government.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

An advocate for the petition claimed the practice violated children's rights under Article 14 (Right to Equality) and Article 21 (Right to Life) of the [[Constitution of India]],<ref name="crime">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> while an advocate opposing the petition argued that ''khafz'' is an essential part of the community's religion, and their right to practise the religion is protected under Articles 25 and 26.<ref name="PlaguesThousands"/>

The Ministry of Women and Child Development reported in December 2017 that "there is no official data or study which supports the existence of FGM in India."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Earlier, in May 2017,
Women and Child Development Minister [[Maneka Gandhi]] announced that the government will ban FGM if it is not voluntarily stopped.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In April 2018 India's Attorney General [[K. K. Venugopal]] asked a bench of the Supreme Court to issue directions regarding the case, saying that FGM was already a crime under existing law. The bench adjourned the case and issued notices to Kerala and [[Telangana]], having earlier notified [[Maharashtra]], [[Gujarat]], [[Rajasthan]] and Delhi.<ref name="crime"/>

== Activism ==
In November 2011 a Bohra woman posted an online petition requesting that Syedna [[Mohammed Burhanuddin]], religious leader of the Dawoodi Bohras, ban FGM. A spokesman ruled out any change saying "Bohra women should understand that our religion advocates the procedure and they should follow it without any argument".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

On 10 December 2016 ([[Human Rights Day]]) a group of Dawoodi Bohra women started an online petition calling for FGM to be banned. A similar petition was conducted by the group a year earlier; that petition was submitted to India's Women and Child Development Minister [[Maneka Gandhi]].<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In an online survey of Bohra women, [[Sahiyo]] found that ''khatna'' had been performed on 80% of participants, with most cut when aged six or seven; 81% wanted the practice to stop.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

Two Mumbai-based groups, Sahiyo and We Speak Out, launched a campaign in February 2016 called "Each One Reach One"; the campaign was repeated during [[Ramadan]] in 2017. The campaign promoted conversations about female genital cutting.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In December 2016, Dawoodi Bohra women petitioned the United Nations demanding that India be recognised as a country where Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) or Female Genital Cutting (FGC) is practised.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In September 2017, when the 36th regular session of the [[United Nations Human Rights Council]] (UNHRC) was conducting a [[Universal Periodic Review]] of India, a written submission on FGM in India was presented at a side event. That was the first time the issue of FGM in India had been raised at the United Nations.<ref name="Punwani"/><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

== Supporters ==
The group Dawoodi Bohra Women for Religious Freedom (DBWRF) was established in May 2017 by six Bohra women to support their "beliefs, customs, culture and religious rights", including their right to practise FGM.<ref name="MohuaDas">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name="Julios"></ref> The group claims to represent "tens of thousands of Dawoodi Bohra women in India".<ref name="Julios"/> The DBWRF state that female circumcision is a harmless procedure and not mutilation.<ref name="MohuaDas"/> Their mission is to "stand for the rights of Dawoodi Bohra women in India" to ensure they have the same freedom as other citizens.<ref></ref>

In July 2018, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi represented the DBWRF during proceedings in the Supreme Court and stated that "the practice of khafz is an essential part of the religion as practised by Dawoodi Bohra Community and their right to practise and propagate religion is protected under Articles 25 and 26 of the Constitution of India."<ref name="PlaguesThousands"/>

== Consequences ==
Dr Meghana Reddy J, a gynaecologist, reported that ''khatna'' can lead to complications in later life including difficult deliveries and urinary infections. In one case a girl had developed sepsis after having had ''khatna'' and great effort had been required to revive her.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In conjunction with a small study, the first of its kind in India, twenty Bohra women were examined by Dr Sujaat Vali, an obstetrician and gynaecologist, who reported that only a specialist would be able to separate and cut only the clitoral hood without also cutting the clitoris, and the clitoris had been cut in most cases examined.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name="Cantera"/> Dr Sujaat Vali also stated that "Half of them feel some kind of irritation, while 30% either feel discomfort while walking/urinating or have lost sensitivity in the area". The study covered 83 women and 11 men from five Indian states and found that 75% of the respondents' daughters who were at least seven years old had been subjected to FGM.<ref name="Cantera"/>

Susna

SamHolt6:


'''Susna''' is a [[demon]] described in [[Hindu]] sacred texts. Normally associated with [[drought]], Susna is often described as possessing a [[Snake|snake-like]] form with horns. He is an enemy of the god [[Indra]].
== Description ==
In [[Hinduism]], Susna is a demon or Asura commonly associated with drought, famine, and hoarding.<ref name=":3">Chakravarty, U. (1994). INDRA'S PROTÉGÉS IN THE ṚGVEDA. ''Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute,'' ''75''(1/4), 51-64. Retrieved from <nowiki>https://ift.tt/2JS0lRY> An enemy of Indra, the demon makes multiple appearances across a number of [[Vedas|Vedic]] texts. He is often associated with [[Vritra]], a large dragon which obstructs the rivers of the world.<ref name=":2">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In an etymological context, Susna means drought from the root Sus, which translates to dry up.<ref name=":3" />

=== Appearances in Hindu texts ===
In the [[Brahmana]] and [[Yajurveda]] texts within the [[Vedas]], Susna is described as being a bitter enemy (''[[Dasa]]'')<ref> Mahavidya|website=www.mahavidya.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-09}}</ref> of the god [[Indra]]. Susna, who is described as a horned serpent-demon, aids the [[Asura|Asuras]] in their war against Indra and his fellow [[Deva (Hinduism)|Deva]] gods. Whenever an Asura is killed in battle, Susna uses his mystical breath (which contains the essence of the [[Amrita|amrta]], the fluid of [[immortality]]) to restore the fallen warrior to life. Indra discovers these resurrections and plots to steal the amrta for himself and his fellow gods. Thus, Indra turns himself into honey and allows the demon to consume him. Once inside of Susna's stomach, Indra turns into a falcon<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> (or eagle)<ref name=":1" />, steals the amrta from the demon's mouth, and escapes to deliver the prize to the other Devas.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

In the [[Rigveda]], Susna is described as being a "child of mists" similar to Vritra, a massive dragon who blocks the rivers of the world.<ref> Mahavidya|website=www.mahavidya.ca|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-09}}</ref> Like Vritra, Susna is seen as a causer of drought and as a foe of Indra. However, while Indra is able to kill Vritra with a [[Lightning|lightning bolt]], Susna must be destroyed by returning water to the land. To defeat the demon, Indra destroy's Susna's fortress and, at the request of his follower [[Kutsa]], sends rains to end the drought, defeating the demon.<ref name=":2" /> One passage from the text notes Indra "made flow the springs restrained by the season through killing Susna, the child of mists."<ref name=":2" />

Tech, Health Care Lead US Stock Surge After Midterms

【Move to another page】
Quote
https://ift.tt/2QswHoI
Tech, Health Care Lead US Stock Surge After Midterms Stocks rallied Wednesday as investors were relieved to see that the U.S. midterm elections went largely as they expected they would. Big-name technology and consumer and health care companies soared as the S&P 500 index closed at its highest level in four weeks. Democrats won control of the House of Representatives while Republicans kept a majority in the Senate, as most polls had suggested. It's not clear how the divided Congress will work with Republican President Donald Trump, but if the possibilities for compromise and big agenda items seem limited, Wall Street is fine with that because it means politics is that much less likely to crowd out the performance of the strong U.S. economy. "The market likes when what it expects to happen happens," said JJ Kinahan, chief markets strategist for TD Ameritrade. "We haven't had that happen in a little while, when you think about major events like Brexit or the presidential election." The S&P 500 index climbed 58.44 points, or 2.1 percent, to 2,813.89. The index has risen six out of the last seven days to recover most of the losses it suffered in October. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 545.29 points, or 2.1 percent, o 26,180.30. The Nasdaq composite climbed 194.79 points, or 2.6 percent, to 7,570.75. The Russell 2000 index of smaller-company stocks added 26.06 points, or 1.7 percent, to 1,582.16. Three-fourths of the stocks on the New York Stock Exchange traded higher. Historically markets have performed well after midterm elections and with split control of Congress. Stocks are off to a strong start in November, and the S&P 500 is up 3.8 percent so far this month. That follows a swoon in October that knocked the S&P 500 down nearly 7 percent as investors worried about rising interest rates and the U.S.-China trade dispute. High-growth stocks took an especially brutal beating last month. Quincy Krosby, chief market strategist at Prudential Financial, said it will be worth watching to see if investors are willing to buy those stocks again or if they continue to prefer slower-growing, more "defensive" companies like utilities and household goods makers. On Wednesday investors bet on growth. Amazon jumped 6.9 percent to $1,755.49 and Microsoft gained 3.9 percent to $111.96, while Google's parent company, Alphabet, picked up 3.6 percent to $1,108.24. Steady, "defensive" stocks lagged the rest of the stock market. Those companies, which include utilities and household goods makers, tend to do well when stocks are in turmoil, but they're less appealing when investors are betting on economic growth. Industrial companies made strong gains, but they didn't do as well as the rest of the market. While some investors hope that Trump and Congressional leadership will pass an infrastructure stimulus bill, they've had those hopes dashed more than once since he took office. It's not clear how the elections will affect the Trump policy Wall Street might be most concerned about: the trade dispute with China. Trump has imposed taxes of up to 25 percent on $250 billion of Chinese imports and threatened additional tariffs on top of those. Beijing has responded with tariffs on $110 billion of American goods. A primary concern in Asia is the potential for trade tensions to hobble growth for export-reliant economies. Economists at S&P Global, Oxford Economics and the Bank of America all agreed that government gridlock will likely result from the Democrats winning control of the House. But they don't think a stalemate will automatically hinder economic growth. It's more likely that government will play less of a role in spurring economic growth in 2019 and 2020. As a result, the health of the global economy, interest rates set by the Federal Reserve, and spending by U.S. consumers and companies will have a bigger impact on determining the pace of growth. The Federal Reserve is also meeting Wednesday and Thursday. It's not expected to raise interest rates this month, but investors believe it will do so in December. Banks also didn't rise as much other stocks. Republicans had discussed a new round of tax cuts if they maintained full control over Congress, which would have expanded the government's deficits further and required it to issue more debt. Government bond yields spiked overnight after a batch of strong early results for some GOP candidates, but then headed lower as Democrats' fortunes improved, making a new tax cut package unlikely. Democrats' victory in the House also means that Rep. Maxine Waters will likely become chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, which oversees the nation's banking system and its regulators. Waters has called for more regulation of banks, and has been vocal about Trump political appointees moving to roll back regulations on banks and other financial services companies. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose slightly, to 3.22 percent. It spiked as high as 3.25 percent Tuesday night. The U.S. dollar also weakened. The ICE US dollar index fell 0.2 percent. The U.S. currency fell to 113.34 yen from 113.40 yen, and the euro climbed to $1.1455 from $1.1413. Major indexes in Europe climbed. The French CAC 40 jumped 1.2 percent, while Britain's FTSE 100 gained 1.1 percent. The DAX in Germany rose 0.8 percent. October is historically a rough month for stocks, though markets usually rise after midterm elections regardless of how the political landscape may change because Wall Street is glad to have more certainty. Democrats' win in the House means Republicans won't be able to take another shot at repealing the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which extended health insurance coverage to millions of Americans. Voters in Idaho and Nebraska all voted to expand Medicaid, and the winning gubernatorial candidates in Maine and Kansas also favor expanding Medicaid benefits. Voting on a Medicaid expansion proposition in Utah was too close to call. Health insurers, hospital operators and Medicaid program operators all jumped. UnitedHealth gained 4.2 percent to $274.63 and hospital company HCA added 4.7 percent to $141.65. Molina, a provider of Medicaid-related services, surged 10.5 percent to $137.32. Marijuana stocks jumped after Michigan voted to legalize recreational marijuana and Utah and Missouri voters approved medical marijuana measures. The stocks rose even further after the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who promoted more aggressive enforcement of those laws. Tilray vaulted 30.6 percent to $139.60 and Canopy Growth rose 8.2 percent to $46.07. Oil prices continued to fall. U.S. crude lost 0.9 percent to $61.67, and Brent crude, the standard for international oil prices, dipped 0.1 percent to $72.07 a barrel in London. Wholesale gasoline lost 2.8 percent to $1.65 a gallon and heating oil rose 2.2 percent to $2.24 a gallon. Natural gas was unchanged at $3.56 per 1,000 cubic feet. Gold rose 0.2 percent to $1,228.70 an ounce. Silver picked up 0.5 percent to $14.57 an ounce. Copper added 0.8 percent to $2.75 a pound. In Asia, Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 fell 0.3 percent while South Korea's Kospi slipped 0.5 percent. But Hong Kong's Hang Seng edged 0.1 percent higher.

America Comes of (Old) Age   America is getting older and grayer. All of the baby boomers — people born in the "boom" years after World War II from about 1946 to 1964 — will be older than 65 by 2030, which means that 1 in every 5 residents in the United States will be of retirement age. Right now, the U.S. population of people aged 65 or older is already growing at a faster rate than both the general population and the population of people under age 65, according to the Census Bureau. One in five people is currently over the age of 65 in the states of Florida, Maine, and West Virginia. This graying of America is happening because older Americans are living longer while birth rates are dropping. This phenomenon is occurring worldwide as well as in the United States. This older population is mostly made up of non-Hispanic whites. More than 80 percent of the population over 85 is white, while 61 percent of the overall U.S. population is white. These older folks are staying connected. About 80 percent live in a house with a computer and more than 75 percent have access to the internet. Among the seniors, those between the ages of 65 and 74 are most likely to own a computer and to have access the internet. Increasing numbers of people in this upper age bracket are staying in the work force. Of the folks aged 65 to 74, 30 percent of men and 22 percent of women are still working.
