Cé leis an gCultúr?
Karakter admits that he rarely breaks even on these shows, which are mostly attended by backpackers, college kids, and curiosity seekers.
Admhaíonn Karaker gur annamh a bhriseann sé fiú ar na seónna seo, a bhfreastalaíonn backpackers, páistí coláiste, agus iarrthóirí fiosrachta orthu den chuid is mó.
On a good night, his shows draw a crowd of 200-300 people, which would be disastrous for a South Beach superclub such as Opium Garden.
Ar oíche mhaith, tarraingíonn a chuid seónna slua de 200-300 duine, a bheadh tubaisteach do superclubs trá Theas ar nós Gairdín Opium.
"On the Masta Killa show [which took place last November 5], we got 350 people there, and three of us that were involved in promoting the show lost about $70 each," he says.
Ar an seó Mata Killa [a bhí ar siúl Samhain 5] seo caite, fuair muid 350 duine ann, agus bhí baint ag triúr againn leis an seó a cailleadh a chur chun cinn faoi $ 70 an ceann," a deir sé.
"Every show I've thrown, it's not like I'm walking away with big bucks and shit," he continues. "I probably have enough money to eat sushi and smoke a joint." Why does he promote shows that lose money? "Just for the love of good hip-hop," he says.
"Gach seó a chaith mé, nach bhfuil sé cosúil go bhfuil mé ag siúl ar shiúl le bucks mór agus cac," a leanann sé "Is dócha go bhfuil go leor airgid a ithe sushi agus deatach comhpháirteach."Cén fáth a dhéanann sé a léiríonn go caillfidh sé airgead? "Just do ghrá na cromáin maith," a deir sé.
The artists he brings out are "inspiring and motivating, at least to me."
Is iad na healaíontóirí a thugann sé amach "spreagúil agus spreagadh, ar a laghad dom."

Reality has hit both cities: water grows scarce, space is tighter, cars clog roads and pollute the air, and money is disappearing.
Tá an dá chathair buailte ag an réaltacht: fásann an t-uisce gann, tá an spás níos doichte, bóithre clog gluaisteáin agus an t-aer a thruailliú, agus tá airgead ag imeacht.
Zócalo hosts a panel of experts—including architect and University of Washington assistant professor Nicole Huber; writer, curator and former director of the Las Vegas Art Museum Libby Lumpkin; and educator, author and architect Ralph Stern—to discuss how the cities can continue to expand and to mirror each other even as they are forced to spar over dwindling resources.

What used to be their natural habitat had been cleared and replaced with oil palm, rubber, cocoa, watermelons, banana and other crash crops which resulted in a hard-to-resist temptation for the wild elephants to raid these areas during the late evenings and early mornings unchallenged.
Bhí glanadh agus athsholáthar a ngnáthóg nádúrtha, rubair, cócó, watermelon, banana agus barra tuairteála eile a d'eascair temptation crua-go-resistant do na elephants fiáin chun ruathar a dhéanamh ar na ceantair seo le linn na tráthnónta déanach agus maidin tosaigh gan dúshlán.
To further protect the elephants, the ECTU has been moving elephants from areas of conflict to permanently protected areas.
Chun na elephants a chosaint tuilleadh, tá an ECTU ag bogadh elephants ó réimsí na coinbhleachta go dtí limistéir atá faoi chosaint go buan.
'They never do any harm unless provoked, even though they go about in herds, being of all animals the least solitary in habit.' Pliny the Elder, Historia Naturalis,
‘Ní dhéanann siad aon dochar riamh mura spreagtar iad, cé go dtéann siad i mbun tréada, is iad na hainmhithe go léir an t-aonla amháin is lú atá sa nós.’

In the early days of the unit before
I laethanta tosaigh an aonaid roimh
1974, the method of eradicating the problem was simply shooting & killing the elephants on sight
1974, ba é an modh chun an fhadhb a dhíothú ach lámhach agus marú na elephants ar radharc
- until the numbers decreased alarmingly and the unit decided to manage the problem by using a combination of scientific and manual method of translocating the elephants.
- go dtí go laghdú ar na huimhreacha ar an am céanna agus chinn an t-aonad a bhainistiú ar an bhfadhb ag baint úsáide as meascán de modh eolaíoch agus láimhe a aistriú na elephants.
Armed with dart guns filled with the Immobilondrug, the rangers would painstakingly track down raiding elephants on foot and

4WDs, knock out the intended elephants, secure them to trees using shackles & stainless steel chains and then use the strength of tamed working elephants to drag out their captured wild cousins onto trucks before releasing the problematic elephants to bigger and safer jungle reserves.
4WDs, cnag amach na elephants beartaithe, iad a dhaingniú go crainn ag baint úsáide as geimhle & slabhraí cruach dhosmálta agus ansin a úsáid an neart na elephants obair tamed a tharraingt amach a ghabh coileanna fiáin ar leoraithe roimh scaoileadh na elephants fadhbanna le cúlchistí jungle níos mó agus níos sábháilte.
The team also operated on an activity-based approach long before the setting up of Kuala
Chomh maith leis sin, d’oibrigh an fhoireann ar chur chuige bunaithe ar ghníomhaíocht i bhfad sular cuireadh Kuala ar bun

The men had to camp in areas where there were problems for as quick as 1 month and as long as 2 years in one place where they took turns in taking leave to be with their loved ones.
Bhí ar na fir campa a chur ar siúl i gceantair ina raibh fadhbanna chomh tapa le 1 mhí agus chomh fada le 2 bhliain in aon áit amháin inar ghlac siad i saoire le bheith lena ngaolta.
Instead of using chains, they used jute ropes and used the direct approach in capturing wild elephants - riding on tamed elephants, wading into the wild herds and throwing lassos onto the smallest elephants they could get.
In ionad slabhraí a úsáid, d'úsáid siad rópaí juste agus d'úsáid siad an cur chuige díreach i ngabháil elephants fiáin - marcaíocht ar elephants tamed, wadding isteach na tréada fiáine agus slata caitheamh isteach ar na elephants is lú a d'fhéadfadh siad a fháil.
This method was stopped as it was unsuccessful due to the complications arising from the local terrain and replaced with the method of darting wild elephants with powerful drugs and using tamed elephants to lead and drag lightly sedated wild elephants onto waiting trucks.
Stopadh an modh seo mar níor éirigh leis mar gheall ar na deacrachtaí a d’eascair as an tír-raon áitiúil agus tháinig sé in áit an modh a bhí ag dul in olcas le drugaí cumhachtacha agus ag baint úsáide as elephants tamed chun tosaigh agus tarraing eilifintí fiáin go héadrom sed ar leoraithe.

Wild elephant translocation must be painstakingly prepared
Ní mór aistriú eilifint fiáin a bheith ullmhaithe go cúramach
& executed with expert skills and knowledge.
& forghníomhaitheach le scileanna saineolaithe agus eolas.
One must also have a cool head when a 4 ton giant charges at almost 40kph through the dense jungles!
Ní mór ceann fionnuar a bheith ag duine freisin nuair a bhíonn 4 ton táillí ollmhór ag beagnach 40kph trí na jungles dlúth!
In the hot, humid and shady environment, detecting a wild elephant is very difficult and dangerous.
Sa timpeallacht te, tais agus scáthach, tá sé an-deacair agus contúirteach eilifint fiáin a bhrath.
Elephants can be unpredictable ; in particularly a young male elephant may be aggressive and charge in an attempt to exert its authority!
Is féidir le Elephants a bheith intuartha; go háirithe d'fhéadfadh eilifint fireann óg a bheith ionsaitheach agus a ghearradh in iarracht a údarás a bhaint amach!
Immobilon is used to bring down an elephant at a distance of not less than 10 metres
Immobilon úsáidtear a thabhairt síos eilifint ar fad nach lú ná 10 méadar
; this means the dart man has to skillfully and quietly make his way close to the intended elephant while being protected by two .458 rifle totting colleagues, in case the elephant charges.
; ciallaíonn sé seo go gcaithfidh an fear dorcha a dhéanamh go sciliúil agus go ciúin a bhealach a dhéanamh in aice leis an eilifint beartaithe agus é á chosaint ag dhá chomhghleacaithe gealltóireachta raidhfil.458, i gcás na muirir eilifint.
Applying Immobilon is itself a highly dangerous work where a drop of this powerful drug can cause a man to gointo coma almost immediately if exposed to an open wound!
Is saothar an-chontúirteach é Immiolon féin inar féidir le braon den druga cumhachtach seo a chur faoi deara go dtéann fear i mbun cuma beagnach láithreach má nochtar é do chréacht oscailte!
The standard amount used is usually 4cc of Immobilon which should be enough to bring down an adult elephant. It usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the drug to be effective onto the elephant.
Is é an méid caighdeánach a úsáidtear de ghnáth 4cc de Immobilon ba chóir a bheith go leor a thabhairt síos eilifint fásta., Bíonn sé de ghnáth thart ar 10 go 15 nóiméad chun an druga a bheith éifeachtach ar an eilifint.
Once the elephant has been darted, it it usual for the elephant to try and pull out the dart while sending cries of help to its herd.
Nuair a bheidh an eilifint dared, is gnách go ndéanfaidh an eilifint iarracht agus tarraing amach ar an dairt agus cries de chabhair a sheoladh chuig a tréad.
This is a most dangerous time when the elephant may charge at full speed.
Is é seo an t-am is contúirtí nuair a d'fhéadfadh an eilifint muirear ar luas iomlán.
All the while, the rifle team is in contact with the 2nd team of chainmen - about 150 metres away - using walkie talkies.
Cé go léir, is é an fhoireann raidhfil i dteagmháil leis an 2ú foireann na slabhraí - thart ar 150 méadar ar shiúl - ag baint úsáide as cainteanna siúlóide.
It is also noted that darting an elephant also depends much on the terrain
Tugtar faoi deara freisin go mbraitheann sé go leor ar an tír-raon freisin
- swampy areas are a NO
- tá limistéir swampy ina NÍL
GO as the elephant might drown even under a foot of water and the riflemen might also be bogged down in case the elephant makes an about turn and attack the team!
GO mar a d'fhéadfadh an eilifint drown fiú faoi bhun an uisce agus d'fhéadfadh an raidhfil a logh síos freisin i gcás ina ndéanann an eilifint ar siúl agus ionsaí ar an bhfoireann!
The area of the hunt should also contain enough big trees to secure the sedated elephant and for the team's protection against attacking elephants.
Ba cheart go mbeadh go leor crainn mhóra i limistéar an fhiach freisin chun an eilifint sed agus chun cosaint na foirne i gcoinne eilifintí a chomhrac.
All the men are always in jungle camouflaged uniform and wearing laced up jungle boots.
Gach na fir i gcónaí i jungle duaithníocht éide agus ag caitheamh suas buataisí jungle.
" You will die a thousand times over and over again "
"Beidh tú bás míle uair arís agus arís eile "
when you hear the growling of an enraged wild elephant, not knowing where it is lurking and coming in from the dense and humid green hell!
nuair a chloiseann tú an fás de eilifint fiáin enraged, nach bhfuil a fhios agam áit a bhfuil sé lurking agus ag teacht isteach ó na dlúth agus hull glas tais!

Once the targetted elephant is darted, it will slowly move away while sounding the alarm bell to the rest of the herd.
Nuair a bheidh an eilifint spriocdhírithe dared, beidh sé ag bogadh go mall ar shiúl agus an clog aláraim á chanadh go dtí an chuid eile den tréad.
The leader of the herd, which is the matriarch, will always lead the rest of the herd away ensuring that all the smaller elephants are protected all the time.

The rifle team will slowly followed the trails left by the darted elephant and once found, the 2nd team - the chainmen - will quickly do their job of ;
Beidh an fhoireann raidhfil leanúint go mall na cosáin a d'fhág an eilifint darted agus uair amháin le fáil, beidh an 2ú fhoireann - an cainéal - a dhéanamh go tapa a gcuid oibre;
1. Ensuring that the darted elephant lies down in a correct position where there should not be any protruding rocks or wood against the elephant's side as this will most likely cause both the elephant's lungs to crush the heart.
1. A chinntiú go luíonn an eilifint darted síos i suíomh ceart i gcás nach bhfuil aon charraigeacha protruding nó adhmad in aghaidh an eilifint mar is dóichí a chur faoi deara an dá scamhóga an eilifint a threascairt an croí.
Rangers must accurately take note of breathing sounds of the slumped elephant which will determine whether or not the airway is restricted. If it is, they will have to apply heart stimulant drug to ensure that the animal will continue breathing normally.
Ní mór do shaoistí aird a thabhairt go cruinn ar fuaimeanna análaithe an eilifint shlumd a chinnfidh cibé an bhfuil nó nach bhfuil an aerbhealach srianta.Má tá, beidh orthu druga spreagthach croí a chur i bhfeidhm chun a chinntiú go leanfaidh an t-ainmhí ag análaithe de ghnáth.
2. In the meantime, the riflemen will stand guard in case the rest of the herd, particularly the young aggressive males, will come charging to protect their darted colleague.
2. Idir an dá linn, beidh an rifless seasamh garda i gcás an chuid eile den tréad, go háirithe na fir ionsaitheach óg, a bheidh ag muirearú a chosaint ar a n-chomhghleacaithe darted.

The chainmen will quickly secured the front legs of the dartedelephant to a big tree while preparations to revive it will be doneusing a dose of the Revivon drug which will be injected behind theelephant's ears.
