Murray Hamilton (March 24, 1923 – September 1, 1986) was an American stage, screen, and television actor who appeared in such memorable films as The Hustler, The Graduate, and Jaws.

Early life
Born in Washington, North Carolina in Beaufort County, North Carolina in eastern North Carolina, Hamilton displayed an early interest in performing during his days at Washington High School just before the outbreak of World War II.

In two of his most distinctive performances, Hamilton appeared with Paul Newman in The Hustler (1961), playing Findley, a wealthy billiards player who gambles for high stakes, (1965-1966) The Fugitive and in The Graduate (1967) as Mr. Robinson, husband of Anne Bancroft's Mrs. Robinson.

In 1975, Hamilton starred again with Newman in The Drowning Pool. He also worked with Robert Redford in a pair of films, 1973's The Way We Were and the 1980 prison drama Brubaker.

For many years both before and during his movie career, Hamilton was a prominent dramatic actor, earning a Tony Award nomination for his role in the 1965 production of Absence of a Cello.

Death
He died from cancer and is interred at Oakdale Cemetery in Washington, North Carolina.

Hyoid

The hyoid is a horseshoe-shaped bone in the front of the neck. between the chin and the thyroid cartilage (Adam's apple). At rest, it lies at the level of the mandible in the front and the third cervical vertebra behind.
Unlike other bones, the hyoid is not directly connected to other bones. It is connected only to  muscles and ligaments. The hyoid aids in tongue movement and swallowing. The hyoid bone provides attachment to the muscles of the floor of the mouth and the tongue above, the larynx below, and the epiglottis and pharynx behind.

Fracture and applied anatomy 
Due to its position, the hyoid bone does not fracture easily. In a suspected case of murder, a fractured hyoid strongly indicates throttling or  strangulation  However, this is not the case in children and adolescents, because their hyoid bone is still flexible as ossification is yet to be completed.

Quantum electrodynamics

Quantum electrodynamics (also called QED for short) is the quantum theory of electricity and magnetism. QED describes how electric and magnetic forces work on the scale of things smaller than atoms.  QED also describes how single photons of light behave.  QED is one of the most well-tested theories in physics.

Neomorphinae

Neomorphinae is a subfamily of the cuckoo family, Cuculidae. The birds in this group live in the Americas and are terrestrial, meaning they live on the ground. But the two genera, Dromococcyx and Tapera, are more arboreal, meaning they live in trees. Birds in this group are known as "New World ground cuckoos".

Description
All birds in this group are long-legged and long-tailed. They come in different sizes. The species in the genus Geococcyx are around  long. The smallest bird in this group, the striped cuckoo, is  long.

Feeding
New World ground cuckoos are omnivores, meaning they eat both meat and plants. They eat many types of insects like grasshoppers, beetles, and caterpillars, arachnids like spiders and scorpions, snakes like rattlesnakes, lizards, other birds and bird eggs, small mammals like mice, small, young rabbits and bats. They also eat seeds and fruits.

Habitat
New World ground cuckoos are found in forests, woodlands and deserts all over the Americas.

Backpropagation

Backpropagation is a method of training neural networks to perform tasks more accurately. The algorithm was first used for this purpose in 1974 in papers published by Werbos, Rumelhart, Hinton, and Williams. The term backpropagation is short for "backward propagation of errors".

It works especially well for feed forward neural networks (networks without any loops) and problems that require supervised learning.

How it works 
The idea is to test how wrong the neural network is and then correct it. This is repeated many times.

With a little more detail:

 You create a loss function, which shows how far the answers from the neural net are from the real answers. (This is often done many times. After that you take the average)
 You calculate how to adjust the parameters (weights and biases) inside the neural net through the derivative of the loss function. Specifically, the chain rule is used to find the derivative with respect to each parameter.
 You adjust the parameters. How you adjust the parameters is based on your training method, with one of the simplest being gradient descent .

This is repeated until the neural network is good enough at its job -i.e., its error as measured by the loss function is low.
