For the Polish historical film, see The Deluge film Deluge 1933 is an apocalyptic science fiction film , released by RKO Radio Pictures , about a group of worldwide natural disasters which lead to the destruction of the earth. The film is very loosely based on the Deluge novel novel of the same name by S. Fowler Wright , with the setting changed from England to the United States. A series of earthquakes destroy the Pacific coast of the United States, causing a massive tsunami , which heads toward New York City . The wave leaves New York submerged in water and nearly all inhabitants of the city drown. This special effect sequence later inspired a scene in The Day After Tomorrow 2004 . The impressive effects were done by a team who later worked on the H. G. Wells scripted film Things to Come 1936 . For many years, Deluge was thought to be a lost film , but a print dubbed in Italian was found in a film archive in Italy in the late 1980s. Before the discovery, the only part of the film known to survive was the impressive footage of the tidal wave destroying New York City, which was used in the Republic Pictures serials Dick Tracy vs Crime Inc and King of the Rocket Men .

    Orphan date July 2011 Deluge Lake Trail is in the southern Gore Range , part of the Rocky Mountains in the US state of Colorado . It is located in the Eagles Nest Wilderness , Holy Cross Ranger District, White River National Forest , Summit County, Colorado Summit County . Deluge Lake Trail is north of Interstate 70 in Vail, Colorado Vail . Deluge Lake Trail is six miles long to its destination of Deluge Lake. The Deluge Lake Trail rises from 8,600 feet at the trailhead to 9,210 feet within the first hour of hiking. Through dense stands of berries among the aspen, the trail ascends over Gore Creek Colorado Gore Creek . Here, serviceberry bushes, Amelanchier arborea, provide a bountiful food supply for bears attempting to gain weight before the onset of winter. Mountain gooseberry , Ribes inerme, also lines the trail as it winds among the aspen and ancient spruce . Higher, among the dense lodgepole pine s, hollygrape, Mahonia repens, provides a ground cover of darkening fruits. After four hours of climbing, the trail reaches a crest 3,172 feet above the trailhead and drops to the lakeshore at 11,690 feet. Drifts of snow on the steep rocky slopes continue to melt into Deluge Lake throughout the summer season. Beside the icy water of the lake, the porcelain blooms of alpine primrose, Primula parryi , and stiff red topped stems of Kings crown, Clementsia rhodantha , brighten the shore. Peering southwest from the outlet of Deluge Lake, the summit of Red Benchmark, at 11,816 feet, is visible.

  1. Great Deluge algorithm

    The Great Deluge algorithm GD is a generic algorithm applied to Optimization mathematics optimization problems. It is similar in many ways to the hill climbing and simulated annealing algorithms. The name comes from the analogy that in a great deluge a person climbing a hill will try to move in any direction that does not get his her feet wet in the hope of finding a way up as the water level rises. In a typical implementation of the GD, the algorithm starts with a poor approximation, S , of the optimum solution. A numerical value called the badness is computed based on S and it measures how undesirable the initial approximation is. The higher the value of badness the more undesirable is the approximate solution. Another numerical value called the tolerance is calculated based on a number of factors, often including the initial badness. A new approximate solution S , called a neighbour of S , is calculated based on S . The badness of S , b , is computed and compared with the tolerance. If b is better than tolerance, then the algorithm is recursively restarted with S S , and tolerance decay tolerance where decay is a function that lowers the tolerance representing a rise in water levels . If b is worse than tolerance, a different neighbour S of S is chosen and the process repeated. If all the neighbours of S produce approximate solutions beyond tolerance , then the algorithm is terminated and S is put forward as the best approximate solution obtained.

  1. Black Sea deluge hypothesis

    The Black Sea deluge is a hypothesized catastrophic rise in the level of the Black Sea circa 5600 BC due to waters from the Mediterranean Sea breaching a sill in the Bosporus Strait. The hypothesis made headlines when The New York Times published it in December 1996, shortly before it was published in an academic journal. ref NYT 1996 ref While it is agreed that the sequence of events described did occur, there is debate over the suddenness, dating and magnitude of the events. Two opposing hypotheses have arisen to explain the rise of the Black Sea gradual, and oscillating. ref name Y H2007 Yanko Hombach et al. 2007 ref rp 15 The oscillating hypothesis specifies that over the last 30,000 years, water has intermittently flowed back and forth between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea in relatively small magnitudes, and does not necessarily presuppose that there occurred any sudden refilling events. Flood hypothesis File Black sea hist.png thumb Black Sea today light blue and in 5600 BC dark blue according to Ryan and Pitman s hypothesis. In 1997, William Ryan and Walter Pitman geologist Walter Pitman published evidence that a massive flooding of the Black Sea occurred about 5600 BC through the Bosporus , following this scenario. ref Ryan and Pitman 1997. ref Before that date, Glacier glacial meltwater had turned the Black and Caspian sea Caspian Seas into vast freshwater lakes draining into the Aegean Sea .
