Whose Culture?
Čigava kultura?
Karakter admits that he rarely breaks even on these shows, which are mostly attended by backpackers, college kids, and curiosity seekers.
Karakter priznava, da se redko zlomi tudi na teh oddajah, ki se jih večinoma udeležujejo backpackerji, študenti in iskalci radovednosti.
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.
Na dobro noč, njegove predstave pritegnejo množico 200-300 ljudi, kar bi bilo katastrofalno za super klub South Beach, kot je Opium Garden.
"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.
"Na oddaji Masta Killa [ki je potekala lani novembra 5] smo tam imeli 350 ljudi in trije od nas, ki so bili vključeni v promocijo predstave, so izgubili okoli 70 dolarjev, " pravi.
"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.
"Vsaka oddaja, ki sem jo priredil, ni tako, kot da bi odšel z velikimi dolarji in sranjem," nadaljuje. "Verjetno imam dovolj denarja, da bi pojedel suši in pokadil joint." Zakaj promovira oddaje, ki izgubljajo denar? "Samo zaradi ljubezni do dobrega hip-hopa," pravi.
The artists he brings out are "inspiring and motivating, at least to me."
Umetniki, ki jih izpostavlja, so »navdihujoči in motivirajoči, vsaj zame«.

Reality has hit both cities: water grows scarce, space is tighter, cars clog roads and pollute the air, and money is disappearing.
Realnost je prizadela obe mesti: voda postaja vse redkejša, prostor je strožji, avtomobili zamašujejo ceste in onesnažujejo zrak, denar pa izginja.
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.
Zócalo gosti skupino strokovnjakov - vključno z arhitektom in docentko Univerze v Washingtonu Nicole Huber; pisateljico, kuratorko in nekdanjo direktorico Muzeja umetnosti v Las Vegasu Libby Lumpkin; in pedagog, avtor in arhitekt Ralph Stern - da bi razpravljali o tem, kako se mesta lahko še naprej širijo in zrcalijo drug drugega, čeprav so prisiljeni varčevati vse manj virov.

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.
Kar je bilo nekoč njihov naravni habitat, je bilo očiščeno in nadomeščeno z oljnimi palmami, gumo, kakavom, lubenicami, bananami in drugimi pridelki, kar je povzročilo težko odporno skušnjavo za divje slone, da v poznih večerih in zgodnjih jutranjih urah napadejo ta območja.
To further protect the elephants, the ECTU has been moving elephants from areas of conflict to permanently protected areas.
Za nadaljnjo zaščito slonov ECTU premika slone iz konfliktnih območij na trajno zavarovana območja.

In the early days of the unit before
V zgodnjih dneh enote pred
1974, the method of eradicating the problem was simply shooting & killing the elephants on sight
Leta 1974 je bila metoda izkoreninjenja problema preprosto streljanje in ubijanje slonov na vidiku.
- 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.
- dokler se število slonov ni zaskrbljujoče zmanjšalo in se je enota odločila, da bo težavo rešila s kombinacijo znanstvene in ročne metode premestitve slonov.
Armed with dart guns filled with the Immobilondrug, the rangers would painstakingly track down raiding elephants on foot and
Oboroženi s pištolami, napolnjenimi z zdravilom Immobilon, so rangerji skrbno sledili napadom slonov peš in peš.
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.
Štiri kolesa, izločijo predvidene slone, jih pritrdijo na drevesa z okovi in verigami iz nerjavečega jekla, nato pa uporabijo moč ukrotenih delovnih slonov, da vlečejo svoje ujetih divjih bratrancev na tovornjake, preden izpustijo problematične slone v večje in varnejše rezervate džungle.

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.
Moški so morali taboriti na območjih, kjer so bili problemi, tako hitro kot 1 mesec in tako dolgo, kot 2 leti, na enem mestu, kjer so se izmenično odpravili na dopust, da bi bili s svojimi ljubljenimi.
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.
Namesto da bi uporabljali verige, so uporabljali vrvi iz jute in uporabljali neposreden pristop pri lovljenju divjih slonov - jahali so na udomačenih slonih, hodili v divje črede in vrgli lassose na najmanjše slone, ki so jih lahko dobili.
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.
Ta metoda je bila ustavljena, ker je bila neuspešna zaradi zapletov, ki so nastali na lokalnem terenu, in nadomeščena z metodo streljanja divjih slonov z močnimi drogami in uporabo udomačenih slonov za vodenje in vlečenje rahlo pomirjevanih divjih slonov na čakajoče tovornjake.

In the course of these translocation, the unit has suffered one death of its rangers, several seriously injured personnelwhile about 40 wild elephants due to stress since 1978
Med temi premestitvami je enota utrpela eno smrt svojih rangerjev, nekaj resno poškodovanega osebja, medtem ko je približno 40 divjih slonov zaradi stresa od leta 1978.

Potrebna delovna sila naredi premestitev težak, nevaren in drag proces.
Wild elephant translocation must be painstakingly prepared
Premestitev divjih slonov mora biti skrbno pripravljena
& executed with expert skills and knowledge.
Izvedeno s strokovnimi veščinami in znanjem.
One must also have a cool head when a 4 ton giant charges at almost 40kph through the dense jungles!
Prav tako je treba imeti kul glavo, ko 4 ton velikan polni na skoraj 40kph skozi goste džungle!
In the hot, humid and shady environment, detecting a wild elephant is very difficult and dangerous.
V vročem, vlažnem in senčnem okolju je odkrivanje divjega slona zelo težko in nevarno.
Elephants can be unpredictable ; in particularly a young male elephant may be aggressive and charge in an attempt to exert its authority!
Sloni so lahko nepredvidljivi; še posebej mladi moški slon je lahko agresiven in obtožen v poskusu uveljavljanja svoje avtoritete!
Immobilon is used to bring down an elephant at a distance of not less than 10 metres
Immobilon se uporablja za strmoglavljenje slona na razdalji najmanj 10 metrov
; 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.
; to pomeni, da mora človek s pikado spretno in tiho narediti svojo pot blizu nameravanega slona, medtem ko je zaščiten z dvema puško .458 totting kolegi, v primeru, da slon polni.
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!
Uporaba Immobilona je sama po sebi zelo nevarno delo, kjer lahko kapljica tega močnega zdravila povzroči, da človek skoraj takoj pade v komo, če je izpostavljen odprti rani!
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.
Standardna količina, ki se uporablja, je običajno 4cc Immobilon, ki bi morala biti dovolj, da spusti odraslega slona. Običajno traja približno 10 do 15 minut, da je zdravilo učinkovito na slonu.
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.
Ko je bil slon izstreljen, je običajno, da slon poskuša izvleči puščico, medtem ko pošilja krike na pomoč svoji čredi.
This is a most dangerous time when the elephant may charge at full speed.
To je najbolj nevaren čas, ko se slon lahko polni s polno hitrostjo.
All the while, the rifle team is in contact with the 2nd team of chainmen - about 150 metres away - using walkie talkies.
Medtem je strelska ekipa v stiku z drugo ekipo verižnikov, ki je oddaljena približno 150 metrov, z uporabo voki-tokijev.
It is also noted that darting an elephant also depends much on the terrain
Prav tako je treba opozoriti, da je streljanje slona tudi veliko odvisno od terena.
- swampy areas are a NO
- močvirna območja so NE
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, kot slon lahko utopijo tudi pod nogo vode in strelci lahko tudi ujeti navzdol v primeru, da slon naredi zavoj in napad ekipo!
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.
Območje lova mora vsebovati tudi dovolj velika drevesa, da se zagotovi sedirani slon in za zaščito ekipe pred napadom slonov.
All the men are always in jungle camouflaged uniform and wearing laced up jungle boots.
Vsi moški so vedno v uniformi v džungli in nosijo škornje v džungli.
" You will die a thousand times over and over again "
Umrl boš tisočkrat znova in znova.
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!
ko zaslišite jezno divjega slona, ne vedoč, kje se skriva in prihaja iz gostega in vlažnega zelenega pekla!
Total silence is of upmost priority!
Popolna tišina je najpomembnejša!

Once the targetted elephant is darted, it will slowly move away while sounding the alarm bell to the rest of the herd.
Ko je ciljni slon prestrežen, se bo počasi odmaknil, medtem ko bo pozvonil alarmni zvonec na preostalo čredo.
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.
Vodja črede, ki je matriarh, bo vedno vodil preostanek črede stran in poskrbel, da bodo vsi manjši sloni ves čas zaščiteni.
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 ;
Ekipa za puške bo počasi sledila sledim, ki jih je pustil puščični slon in ko jih bo našla, bo 2. ekipa - verižniki - hitro opravila svoje delo ;
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. Zagotavljanje, da streljani slon leži v pravilnem položaju, kjer ne bi smelo biti nobenih štrlečih kamnov ali lesa proti slonovi strani, saj bo to najverjetneje povzročilo, da bodo slonova pljuča zdrobila srce.
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.
Rangerji morajo natančno upoštevati zvoke dihanja slona, ki bodo določili, ali je dihalne poti omejena. Če je, bodo morali uporabiti zdravilo za spodbujanje srca, da se zagotovi, da bo žival še naprej dihala normalno.
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. Medtem bodo strelci stražili v primeru, da bo preostala čreda, zlasti mladi agresivni moški, prišla za zaščito svojega kolega.

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.
Verižniki bodo hitro pritrdili sprednje noge slona na veliko drevo, medtem ko se bodo priprave za oživitev izvajale z odmerkom zdravila Revivon, ki ga bodo injicirali za slonovimi ušesi.
To increase the spread of the reviving drug, flapping of the ears aredone thus speeding up blood circulation.
Da bi povečali širjenje oživljajočega zdravila, je treba z mahanjem ušes pospešiti krvni obtok.
