Ophidian 2350 takes place in the year 2350, where a strange reptilian race known as Ophidians run gladatorial arenas for humans, aliens and demons alike. Combat consists of one team pitted against another, and though competitors often die, the gladiators' DNA is often taken before the match to resurrect the fallen warrior.
Ophidia / oʊ ˈ f ɪ d i ə / (also known as Pan-Serpentes [2]) is a group of squamate reptiles including modern snakes and reptiles more closely related to snakes than to other living groups of lizards.
The Brazen Serpent (illustration from a Bible card published 1907 by Providence Lithograph Company). Pseudo-Tertullian (probably the Latin translation of Hippolytus's lost Syntagma, written c. 220) is the earliest source to mention Ophites, and the first source to discuss the connection with serpents.
They range in size from Grammanoides opisthodon which measures just 5 centimetres (2.0 in) in length, to Lamprogrammus shcherbachevi at 2 metres (6.6 ft) in length. [ 4 ] The families Ranicipitidae ( tadpole cods ) and Euclichthyidae ( eucla cods ) were formerly classified in this order, but are now preferred in Gadiformes ; Ranicipitidae has ...
According to the US Geological Survey, there are 5 steps to manual watershed delineation: [6] Find the point of interest along a stream on the map. This is the "watershed outlet" or "pour point." Imagine or draw surface water flow lines that point downhill perpendicular to the topographic contours (this is the steepest direction).
Hydromancy may interpret the color, ebb and flow, or ripples of perturbed water. Hydromancy (Ancient Greek ὑδρομαντεία, water-divination, [1] from ὕδωρ, water, [1] and μαντεία, divination [1]) is a method of divination by means of water, including the color, ebb and flow, or ripples produced by pebbles dropped in a pool.

The legs of water beetles have little hairs which spread out to catch and move water back in the power stroke, but lay flat as the appendage moves forward in the return stroke. Also, one side of a water beetle leg is wider than the others and is held perpendicular to the motion when pushing backward, but the leg rotates when the limb returns ...
Figure 5: Series of roll waves moving down a spillway, where they terminate in a stationary hydraulic jump. Another variation of the moving hydraulic jump is the cascade. In the cascade, a series of roll waves or undulating waves of water moves downstream overtaking a shallower downstream flow of water. A moving hydraulic jump is called a surge.
