835727589_12218-12515 | In the state of Lara , Venezuela , it is responsible for 78 % of all envenomations and all snakebite fatalities ( Dao - L. , 1971 ) . One of the reasons so many people are bitten is because of its association with human habitation and many bites actually occur indoors ( Sasa & Vázquez , 2003 ) . | Bothrops asper |
835727589_12599-12966 | This species is irritable and fast - moving . It is also regarded as being more excitable and unpredictable than B. atrox . Its large size and habit of raising its head high off the ground can result in bites above the knee . It has also been observed to eject venom over a distance of at least 6 ft ( 1.8 m ) in fine jets from the tips of its fangs ( Mole , 1924 ) . | Bothrops asper |
835727589_12967-13645 | Bite symptoms include pain , oozing from the puncture wounds , local swelling that may increase for up to 36 hours , bruising that spreads from the bite site , blisters , numbness , mild fever , headache , bleeding from the nose and gums , hemoptysis , gastrointestinal bleeding , hematuria , hypotension , nausea , vomiting , impaired consciousness and tenderness of the spleen . In untreated cases , local necrosis frequently occurs and may cause gangrene which often requires amputation . In 12 fatal cases , the cause of death was sepsis ( 5 ) , intracranial hemorrhage ( 3 ) , acute renal failure with hyperkalemia and metabolic acidosis ( 2 ) and hemorrhagic shock ( 1 ) . | Bothrops asper |
835727589_13646-13776 | Venom yield ( dry weight ) averages 458 mg , with a maximum of 1530 mg ( Bolaños , 1984 ) and an LD in mice of 2.844 mg / kg IP . | Bothrops asper |
835727589_13777-13999 | The venomous bite of B. asper has been suggested to have been a factor in the choice of certain Mayan settlements , such as Nim Li Punit , where the thick jungle inhabited by these snakes was used as a defensive boundary . | Bothrops asper |
835727589_14018-14100 | This species is a subspecies of B. atrox and can still often confused be with it . | Bothrops asper |
835727589_14120-14316 | Despite being one of the most venomous snakes in Central and South America , the snake is often preyed on by spiders , specifically the Goliath tarantula . The Jaguar will also prey on the snake . | Bothrops asper |
805615451_270-725 | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night Cover of a volume of the original Karmashastra Society first edition . Translator Richard Francis Burton Country United Kingdom Language English Subject Arab folktales and stories Genre Arabic literature Fantasy fiction Publisher Privately printed by the `` Kama Shastra Society '' Publication date 1885 ISBN 978 - 0517001523 Followed by The Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night ( 1886 -- 88 ) | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_726-1380 | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night ( 1885 ) , subtitled A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights Entertainments , is an English language translation of One Thousand and One Nights ( the `` Arabian Nights '' ) -- a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age ( 8th − 13th centuries ) -- by the British explorer and Arabist Richard Francis Burton ( 1821 -- 1890 ) . It stood as the only complete translation of the Macnaghten or Calcutta II edition ( Egyptian recension ) of the `` Arabian Nights '' until the Malcolm C. and Ursula Lyons translation in 2008 . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_1381-2770 | Burton 's translation was one of two unabridged and unexpurgated English translations done in the 1880s ; the first was by John Payne , under the title The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night ( 1882 -- 84 , nine volumes ) . Burton 's ten volume version was published almost immediately afterward with a slightly different title . This , along with the fact that Burton closely advised Payne and partially based his books on Payne 's , led later to charges of plagiarism . Owing to the sexual imagery in the source texts ( which Burton made a special study of , adding extensive footnotes and appendices on `` Oriental '' sexual mores ) and to the strict Victorian laws on obscene material , both translations were printed as private editions for subscribers only , rather than being published in the usual manner . Burton 's original ten volumes were followed by a further six entitled The Supplemental Nights to the Thousand Nights and a Night ( 1886 -- 88 ) . Burton 's 16 volumes , while boasting many prominent admirers , have been criticised for their `` archaic language and extravagant idiom '' and `` obsessive focus on sexuality '' ; they have even been called an `` eccentric ego - trip '' and a `` highly personal reworking of the text '' . His voluminous and obscurely detailed notes and appendices have been characterised as `` obtrusive , kinky and highly personal '' . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_2771-3140 | In 1982 , the International Astronomical Union ( IAU ) began naming features on Saturn 's moon Enceladus after characters and places in Burton 's translation because `` its surface is so strange and mysterious that it was given the Arabian Nights as a name bank , linking fantasy landscape with a literary fantasy '' . ( See List of geological features on Enceladus . ) | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_3473-4108 | Burton -- an accomplished geographer , explorer , orientalist , ethnologist , diplomat , polylinguist and author -- was best known in his lifetime for travelling in disguise to Mecca ( 1853 ) and for journeying ( with John Hanning Speke ) as the first European to visit the Great Lakes of Africa in search of the source of the Nile ( 1857 -- 58 ) . One of the great Arabists of his day , he had long wanted to publish an unexpurgated version of the `` Arabian Nights '' stories . The first translations into English , notably that by Edward Lane ( 1840 , 1859 ) , were highly abridged and heavily bowdlerised , which irritated Burton . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_4109-5201 | In 1863 Burton co-founded the Anthropological Society of London with Dr. James Hunt . In Burton 's own words , the main aim of the society ( through the publication of the periodical Anthropologia ) was `` to supply travelers with an organ that would rescue their observations from the outer darkness of manuscript and print their curious information on social and sexual matters '' . Burton had written numerous travel books which invariably included sexual curiosa in extensive footnotes and appendices . His best - known contributions to literature were those considered risqué or even pornographic at the time and which were published under the auspices of the `` Kama Shastra Society '' , a fictitious organisation created by Burton and Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot as a legal device to avoid the consequences of current obscenity laws . ( Burton and Arbuthnot were the only members of the `` Society '' . ) These works included The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana ( 1883 ) , published just before his Nights , and The Perfumed Garden of the Shaykh Nefzawi ( 1886 ) , published just after it . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |

805615451_5417-5824 | The volumes were printed by the Kama Shastra Society in a subscribers - only edition of one thousand with a guarantee that there would never be a larger printing of the books in this form . To confound possible litigation , the title pages claimed the printing had been done in `` Benares '' , but this was a subterfuge . In reality , it was done by Miller & Richard ( a Scottish firm ) at Stoke Newington . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_5948-6483 | The stories collected in the Nights are often sexual in content and were considered pornography at the time of Burton 's publication . The Terminal Essay in volume 10 of Burton 's Nights contains a 14,000 - word section entitled `` Pederasty '' ( Volume 10 , section IV , D ) . Here Burton postulated that male homosexuality was prevalent in an area of the southern latitudes named by him the `` Sotadic zone '' . ( Rumors about Burton 's own sexuality and experiences were already circulating and were further incited by this work . ) | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_6516-6594 | This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( January 2013 ) | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_6595-7062 | John Payne and Burton collaborated on their respective translations of the Nights for more than half a decade , and each respected the other 's scholarship , but Payne believed that Burton had plagiarised his manuscripts when he sent them to Trieste to be checked . In 1906 , a biographer of Burton , Thomas Wright , made the claim that Burton had plagiarised most of his translation from Payne . Burton 's most recent biographer summarises the situation as follows . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_7063-7597 | He ( Wright ) made a comparison of the respective versions of the Nights by Burton and Payne . We know , not only from Richard 's and Isabel 's writings but from the statements of people who met him through the years , that Burton had been collecting manuscripts of the Nights stories and translating them , on and off , for over twenty - five years before he met Payne . So Wright 's claim that Burton had not done his own translation , but had `` taken from Payne at least three - quarters of his entire work '' , is extraordinary . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_7598-8063 | Norman Mosley Penzer , in his 1923 Annotated Bibliography of Burton 's works , takes great umbrage at `` Wright 's futile efforts to glorify Payne and scoff at Burton '' , contradicting several of his examples point by point . In Burton 's defence , Penzer asserts that it is usual for translators to study and follow in the footsteps of earlier translators and cites examples of similarities in the stories Payne translated after Burton had published his version . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_8064-8201 | The `` plagiarism '' allegation is also examined in detail in an appendix to Fawn Brodie 's 1967 biography of Burton , The Devil Drives . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_8217-8521 | In translating the Nights , Burton attempted to invent an English equivalent of medieval Arabic . In doing so , he drew upon Chaucerian English , Elizabethan English , and the 1653 English translation by Sir Thomas Urquhart of the first three books of Rabelais 's Gargantua and Pantagruel ( 1532 - 46 ) . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_8580-9601 | Burton shared ( John ) Payne 's enthusiasm for archaic and forgotten words . The style Burton achieved can be described as a sort of composite mock - Gothic , combining elements from Middle English , the Authorized Version of the Bible and Jacobean drama . Most modern readers will also find Burton 's Victorian vulgarisms jarring , for example ' regular Joe Millers ' , ' Charlie Charleys ' , and ' red cent ' . Burton 's translation of the Nights can certainly be recommended to anyone wishing to increase their word - power : ' chevisance ' , ' fortalice ' , ' kemperly ' , ' car cark ' , ' foison ' , ' soothfast ' , ' perlection ' , ' wittol ' , ' parergon ' , ' brewis ' , ' wikt : bles ' , ' fadaise ' , ' coelebs ' , ' vivisepulture ' , and so on . ' Whilome ' and ' anent ' are standard in Burton 's vocabulary . The range of vocabulary is wider and stranger than Payne 's , lurching between the erudite and the plain earthy , so that Harun al - Rashid and Sinbad walk and talk in a linguistic Never Never Land . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |

805615451_9700-10695 | Many early commentators on Burton 's Nights criticised his eccentric `` mixture of obsolete words , mediaeval phrases , modern slang , Americanisms , and foreign words and expressions '' . Jorge Luis Borges , however , wrote a celebrated essay on `` The Translators of The Thousand and One Nights '' in which -- while he chastises Burton for his distortions and `` indulgent loitering '' -- he allows that `` the problems that Burton resolved are innumerable '' and delights in his careful use of an extravagantly exotic vocabulary in which each word `` is indubitably the mot juste . '' In summarising his use of language , Borges concluded that `` In some way , the almost inexhaustible process of English is adumbrated in Burton -- John Donne 's hard obscenity , the gigantic vocabularies of Shakespeare and Cyril Tourneur , Swinburne 's affinity for the archaic , the crass erudition of the authors of 17th century chapbooks , the energy and imprecision , the love of tempests and magic . '' | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_10793-11498 | A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights ' Entertainments , Now Entituled ( sic ) The Book of The Thousand Nights and a Night ; With Introduction Explanatory Notes on the Manners and Customs of Moslem Men and a Terminal Essay upon the History of the Nights by Richard F. Burton ; Benares : MDCCCLXXXV : Printed by the Kamashastra Society for Private Subscribers Only . First series of 1885 in ten volumes . No illustrations . Supplemental series of 1886 -- 88 in six volumes . No illustrations . An identical ' Burton Club ' London edition of 1000 individually numbered sets of 17 volumes dated 1885 - 8 was also published , dedicated by Burton to the great Shakespearean actor Henry Irving . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_11615-11852 | Lady Burton 's Edition of Her Husband 's Arabian Nights Translated Literally from the Arabic ( 1886 - 1887 ) ; Prepared for Household Reading by Justin Huntly McCarthy , M.P. ; 6 vols. ; London : Waterlow & Sons , Limited , London Wall . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_11853-12605 | This edition is ostensibly the `` family '' version of Burton 's translation . ( In her `` Preface '' , Lady Burton guarantees that `` no mother shall regret her girl 's reading this Arabian Nights '' . ) It is a much bowdlerized version of the original edition and was not a commercial success . It excises 215 of the original 3,215 pages , including Burton 's defense of turpiquilum in his `` Foreword '' , all sexually explicit commentary , and the two final essays on `` Pornography '' and `` Pederasty . '' Lady Burton merely lent her name to this expurgated edition . As she stated before his death , `` I have never read , nor do I intend to read , at his own request , and to be true to my promise to him , my husband 's ' Arabian Nights ' `` . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_12643-13191 | 1894 H.S. Nichols & Co , London , edition by Leonard C. Smithers , 12 Volumes ; this reprint `` omits given passages in dreadful taste , whose elimination will be mourned by no one '' . 1897 H.S. Nichols & Co , London , `` Illustrated Library Edition '' , 12 Volumes ( 142 original illustrations , including a portrait of Burton , reproduced from the original pictures in oils specially painted by Albert Letchford with one set of the original 71 illustrations presented as included by the publisher and another set individually hand - coloured . ) | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_13192-14106 | Nichols ' second printing is a scarce and handsome edition , the first to include the illustrations by Letchford . In 1896 , two years after their first edition of Burton 's Nights , the Nichols - Smithers duo commissioned Burton 's close friend , Albert Letchford , to paint 65 illustrations for another edition as well as a portrait of Burton , and soon after commissioned for five more . Burton and Letchford had met several years before when the latter was 18 and in Florence beginning his art education . They discussed the possibility of illustrating the Nights . Burton 's suggestion of illustrating the Nights had appealed greatly to Letchford on account of the unlimited scope such a subject would give to an artist who loved the East and had a boundless imagination . Letchford commenced study of Eastern images for his paintings , though only one of the illustrations was painted in Burton 's lifetime . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_14165-14722 | Alf Laylah Wa Laylah , The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night , by Richard F. Burton ; Press of the Carson - Harper Company , Denver , Colo. , 1900 -- 01 . `` For private subscribers only . '' Includes 100 illustrations by Stanley L. Wood . ( This was the first reprint of the original unexpurgated edition and the best reprint for many decades . This edition is the one used by the IAU for naming features on Enceladus . Only the last three volumes ( 4 , 5 , and 6 of the Supplemental Nights ) are dated 1901 . The edition was a commercial failure . ) | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_14752-16091 | The electros from the `` Burton Society '' edition were acquired by the `` Burton Club '' -- `` the nom de plume of a certain Boston publisher '' , according to N.C. Penzer . This very successful series of editions probably began in 1903 ( none of the volumes bear dates ) and continued for many decades . There are 114 illustrations by various ( at least 13 ) English and French artists . Many of these are uncredited and many are from other ( some pre-Burton ) editions of the Nights , some even having nothing to do with the Nights or even the Middle East . ( All of Letchford 's works from the Nichols / Smithers edition are there , except the portrait of Burton . ) . Penzer 's bibliography lists nine different Burton Club editions ; after about 1905 each was named after a city ( Benares , Mecca , Medinah , Aden , Baghdad , Samara , Bassorah , Shammar , and Luristan ) , a new one appearing about every two years . Penzer called these the `` Catch Word '' editions and there are known to be at least 6 others ( Teheran , Baroda , etc ) . These editions were made semi-surreptitiously up through the 1920s and many may have been printed in the US , but bound in the UK . There exists no definitive list of all `` Burton Club '' editions or their sequence . According to Penzer , the `` Illustrated Benares '' edition was the first . | The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night |
805615451_16181-19510 | In 1932 , a Modern Library version edited by Bennett Cerf reprinted selected portions of Smithers ' bowdlerised version ( claiming it to be an `` unabridged '' and `` unexpurgated '' edition ) . `` Illustrations and decorations '' by Steele Savage .

838394480_4219-4661 | Cole talks to one of the ghosts , a young girl named Kyra who recently died after a chronic illness . He goes with Crowe to her funeral reception at her home , where Kyra directs him to a box holding a videotape , which he then gives to her father . The tape shows Kyra 's mother poisoning her daughter 's food . By proving she was a victim of Munchausen syndrome by proxy , Cole has saved Kyra 's younger sister , the mother 's next victim . | The Sixth Sense |
838394480_4662-5605 | Learning to live with the ghosts he sees , Cole begins to fit in at school and is cast as the lead in the school play , which Crowe attends . The doctor and patient depart on positive terms and Cole suggests to Crowe that he should try speaking to Anna while she is asleep . Later , while stuck in traffic , Cole confesses his secret to his mother , saying that someone died in an accident ahead of their traffic and he knows because the person is next to him . Although his mother at first does not believe him , Cole proves his ability to her by talking about how his grandmother visits him . He describes how his grandmother saw his mother in a dance performance , even though Lynn thought her mother was not there . He further relays the answer to a question his mother privately asked at her mother 's grave , `` Every day . '' When Cole asks what question she asked , his mother tearfully answers , `` Do I make you proud ? '' They hug . | The Sixth Sense |
838394480_5606-6260 | Crowe returns home , where he finds his wife asleep with their wedding video playing . While still asleep , Anna asks her husband why he left her , and drops Crowe 's wedding ring , which he suddenly discovers he has not been wearing . He remembers what Cole said about ghosts and realizes that he has actually been dead the whole time . Because of Cole 's efforts , Crowe 's unfinished business -- rectifying his failure to understand and help Vincent -- is finally complete . Crowe fulfills the second reason he returned ; to tell his wife she was never second , and that he loves her . His goal complete , he is free to leave the world of the living . | The Sixth Sense |

838394480_6709-7336 | David Vogel , then - president of production of The Walt Disney Studios , read Shyamalan 's spec script and instantly loved it . Without obtaining corporate approval , Vogel bought the rights to the script , despite the high price of $3 million and the stipulation that Shyamalan could direct the film . Disney later dismissed Vogel from his position at the studio , with Vogel leaving the company shortly thereafter . Disney -- apparently in a show of little confidence in the film -- sold the production rights to Spyglass Entertainment , while retaining the distribution rights and 12.5 % of the film 's box office receipt . | The Sixth Sense |
838394480_7337-8041 | The color red is intentionally absent from most of the film , but it is used prominently in a few isolated shots for `` anything in the real world that has been tainted by the other world '' and `` to connote really explosively emotional moments and situations '' . Examples include the door of the church where Cole seeks sanctuary ; the balloon , carpet , and Cole 's sweater at the birthday party ; the tent in which he first encounters Kyra ; the volume numbers on Crowe 's tape recorder ; the doorknob on the locked basement door where Malcolm 's office is located ; the shirt that Anna wears at the restaurant ; Kyra 's mother 's dress at the wake ; and the shawl wrapped around the sleeping Anna . | The Sixth Sense |
838394480_8042-8540 | All of the clothes Malcolm wears during the film are items he wore or touched the evening before his death , which included his overcoat , his blue rowing sweatshirt and the different layers of his suit . Though the filmmakers were careful about clues of Malcolm 's true state , the camera zooms slowly towards his face when Cole says , `` I see dead people . '' In a special feature , the filmmakers mention they initially feared this would be too much of a giveaway , but decided to leave it in . | The Sixth Sense |

828727772_649-1214 | The mercury - in - glass or mercury thermometer was invented by physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in Amsterdam ( 1714 ) . It consists of a bulb containing mercury attached to a glass tube of narrow diameter ; the volume of mercury in the tube is much less than the volume of the bulb . The volume of mercury changes slightly with temperature ; the small change in volume drives the narrow mercury column a relatively long way up the tube . The space above the mercury may be filled with nitrogen or it may be at less than atmospheric pressure , a partial vacuum . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_1215-1860 | In order to calibrate the thermometer , the bulb is made to reach thermal equilibrium with a temperature standard such as an ice / water mixture , and then with another standard such as water / vapour , and the tube is divided into regular intervals between the fixed points . In principle , thermometers made of different material ( e.g. , coloured alcohol thermometers ) might be expected to give different intermediate readings due to different expansion properties ; in practice the substances used are chosen to have reasonably linear expansion characteristics as a function of true thermodynamic temperature , and so give similar results . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_1861-2027 | The application of mercury ( 1714 ) and Fahrenheit scale ( 1724 ) for liquid - in - glass thermometers ushered in a new era of accuracy and precision in thermometry . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_2513-2672 | Anders Celsius , a Swedish scientist , devised the Celsius scale , which was described in his publication The origin of the Celsius temperature scale in 1742 . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_2673-3571 | Celsius used two fixed points in his scale : the temperature of melting ice and the temperature of boiling water . This was n't a new idea , since Isaac Newton was already working on something similar . The distinction of Celsius was to use the condition of melting and not that of freezing . The experiments for reaching a good calibration of his thermometer lasted for 2 winters . By performing the same experiment over and over again , he discovered that ice always melted at the same calibration mark on the thermometer . He found a similar fixed point in the calibration of boiling water to water vapour ( when this is done to high precision , a variation will be seen with atmospheric pressure ; Celsius noted this ) . At the moment that he removed the thermometer from the vapour , the mercury level climbed slightly . This was related to the rapid cooling ( and contraction ) of the glass . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_3572-4024 | When Celsius decided to use his own temperature scale , he originally defined his scale `` upside - down '' , i.e. he chose to set the boiling point of pure water at 0 ° C ( 212 ° F ) and the freezing point at - 100 ° C ( - 32 ° F ) . One year later , Frenchman Jean - Pierre Christin proposed to invert the scale with the freezing point at 0 ° C ( 32 ° F ) and the boiling point at 100 ° C ( 212 ° F ) . He named it Centigrade ( 100 grades ) . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_4092-4460 | Place the cylinder of the thermometer in melting ice made of pure water and mark the point where the fluid in the thermometer stabilises . This point is the freeze / thaw point of water . In the same manner mark the point where the fluid stabilises when the thermometer is placed in boiling water vapour . Divide the length between the two marks into 100 equal parts . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_4461-4697 | These points are adequate for approximate calibration but both vary with atmospheric pressure . Nowadays , the triple point of water is used instead of the freezing point ( the triple point occurs at 273.16 kelvins ( K ) , 0.01 ° C ) . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_4698-5147 | Before the discovery of the true thermodynamic temperature , the thermometer defined the temperature ; thermometers made with different materials would define different temperature scales ( a coloured alcohol thermometer would give a slightly different reading than a mercury thermometer at , say half - scale ) . In practice , several materials gave very similar temperatures to each other and , when discovered , to the thermodynamic temperature . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_5350-5956 | One special kind of mercury - in - glass thermometer , called a maximum thermometer , works by having a constriction in the neck close to the bulb . As the temperature rises , the mercury is pushed up through the constriction by the force of expansion . When the temperature falls , the column of mercury breaks at the constriction and can not return to the bulb , thus remaining stationary in the tube . The observer can then read the maximum temperature over the set period of time . To reset the thermometer it must be swung sharply . This design is used in the traditional type of medical thermometer . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
828727772_5994-6437 | A maximum minimum thermometer , also known as Six 's thermometer , is a thermometer which registers the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a period of time , typically 24 hours . The original design contains mercury , but solely as a way to indicate the position of a column of alcohol whose expansion indicates the temperature ; it is not a thermometer operated by the expansion of mercury ; mercury - free versions are available . | Mercury-in-glass thermometer |
