|Farmer prosperity is closely linked to food security.
Infamous as a person who drinks less water than a camel (yes, recently I had slipped to an all time low of a glass every two days), my mother says I am the most appropriate person to be researching water scarcity. And as I try to piece together the story of water availability in rural Rajasthan, I have begun appreciating how it weaves together a farmer's life so completely. Realising this, my interviews range from dull enumerations of tractors and pump sets to softer issues of flows of information regarding water conservation. However, it is when the conversations spill onto other aspects of rural life, that things become interesting.
So yes, one of the questions I ask tentatively is: "What, according to you, is necessary for a farmer to be happy?" The answers range from entertaining to cautious, assured to uncertain. Some laugh off the question self-consciously as if happiness is too unattainable a state to wish for; they look at me quizzically, as if to say, "Happiness? I'm flailing against the vagaries of weather to eke out a living from the land, this year I will have to buy food again. And you ask me of happiness?" Some think the question doesn't merits their time and mumble a disinterested answer.

What to look for in Dog Collars and Leashes
Choosing the wrong collar for your dog can sometimes result in discomfort, pain and choking. Yikes!
We all love our dog and want the best so the following is a quick guide to choosing the right collar and leash for your dog.
Sizing Up
Generally speaking, big, strong dogs require a heavier and wider collar than smaller dogs. It should fit comfortably and firmly around your dog's neck but you should still be able to fit two fingers in between. Its a good idea to check the fit of a puppy collar at least every two weeks. A collar with a snap–type plastic fastener is a popular alternative to buckle collars, and the length can be easily adjusted. The dog leash must be of appropriate length and thickness. For a big strong Mastif a long and thin leash will be useless and a thick short leather leash will be too heavy for a small cavoodle size dog. A variety of nylon, leather and retractable dog leashes are available at our online pet boutique. It comes down to personal preference the type of leash you may choose but your choice should always be based on the size of your dog.
The Right Purpose
Different uses require different collars. A collar designed for training should not be used for everyday use because your dog may injure herself. Never leave a slip collar on a dog or puppy because a slip collar is a training tool and should not be used as a standard collar. Choke chains should never be used on young puppies. Most dogs will require two collars... an adjustable nylon or leather collar and a slip collar for obedience training.
Great Style
Ideally you want a collar that appeals to you and also suits your dog's colouring and personality.
What Are Decorative Collars?
These are made to look great and they can be made from different materials. They may incorporate such items as sequins, diamantes, studs, crystals, beading, embroidery to create a beautiful look. You can see some below.
Nylon collars
Nylon collars are long lasting, machine-washable and will survive frequent encounters with water.
Leather collars
Leather collars are hardwearing,long lasting and come in many different colours, styles and widths. Choose thin leather collars for puppies and smaller dogs.
These go around the neck and ribcage, and therefore eliminate the possibility of choking. They are great for a large dog that hasn't been well-trained and pulls or lunges when out for a walk.
Head collars
Head collars are great training devices for dogs that tend to pull while walking.
Choke Chains and Slip Collars
These are made with metal links and have a ring at each end. Use only for training purposes because the collar tightens when you want to correct the dog. Make sure that the collar fits correctly and don't leave them on your dog for extended periods of time.

A teenager who refused to co-operate fully during a high-profile murder trial has been jailed for 15 months.
Umar Bhatti, 19, was found to be in contempt of court after giving evidence in the trial of his cousin Adel, Ishaq, 19 and 20-year-old Asif Rehman.
Both men face life sentences after being convicted of murdering 57-year-old Irishman William McKeeney in Pollokshields, Glasgow, on 15 January.
Bhatti was found to have intentionally sought to mislead the trial last month.
During the trial, at the High Court in Kilmarnock, Bhatti was warned by judge Lord Uist, then found to be in contempt of court.
'Criminal career'
Bhatti, from Pollokshields, further angered the judge by claiming that his statements to police in the aftermath of Mr McKeeney's death were true – then later telling a social worker that they were fabricated.
Imposing a sentence of detention, Lord Uist told Bhatti: "You deliberately prevaricated by withholding from the court evidence you were well able to give and intentionally seeking to mislead the court.
"It is clear from your previous convictions that you have embarked on a criminal career since your youth and you have no regard for the law."
Lord Uist said Bhatti's behaviour in court was an example of his contemptuous attitude.
During the trial, the jury was told that Mr McKeeney was attacked by Ishaq and Rehman while making his way home from a nearby pub.
His partner Annemarie Newlands, 48, saw the attack but did not realise it was Mr McKeeney.
She went outside afterwards to find him "very battered" with the side of his face "all swollen".
The 57-year-old, who was originally from Malin Head in Donegal, Ireland, died later in hospital.

Most Anticipated Books of 2018
Best of 2017 has come and gone, now here are the most anticipated books of 2018, according to major media:
Entertainment Weekly — 50 books we can't wait to read in 2018
THE HAZEL WOOD by Melissa Albert
One of the most anticipated debuts of the year — having set off an auction frenzy — THE HAZEL WOOD is a contemporary fantasy of an aggressively literary bent, centered on a 17-year-old whose mother is stolen away.
LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley
Crosley may have put essays aside for her 2015 novel THE CLASP, but she returns with her particular brand of sardonic wit in this new collection. The tone, she told EW, is "somewhere between jaded misanthrope and easily amused child."
A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies and Leadership by James Comey
What will James Comey reveal in this anticipated memoir? Publisher Flatiron Books isn't giving much away, just saying that the former FBI director promises to give a vital lesson on sound leadership, drawing on his own experiences to provide a manual that certain world leaders desperately need.
USA Today — 10 big books to kick off 2018
THE WIFE BETWEEN US by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
What it's about: In this twisty psychological thriller, a woman dumped by her rich husband is determined to prevent his remarriage to her "replacement."
Why it's hot: Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners, which brought THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN to the big screen, has picked up film rights for THE WIFE BETWEEN US.
A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies and Leadership by James Comey
What it's about: The former FBI director, famously fired by President Trump in May, writes a book about leadership based on his own experiences and observations in government.
Why it's hot: According to the publisher, Comey's book will examine what "good, ethical leadership looks like and how it drives sound decisions." The burning question: What will he say about Trump?
The Washington Post — Leadership Books to Read in 2018
A HIGHER LOYALTY: Truth, Lies and Leadership by James Comey
The former FBI director — fired by President Trump and now, some say, a Zen-like master of throwing subtle shade on Twitter and Instagram — inked what was reported to be a multi-million dollar book deal in August. The book's publisher has said the book by Comey, also a former Justice Department official and lawyer, promises to give readers "unprecedented entry into the corridors of power, and a remarkable lesson in leadership itself." Comey, who frequently uses social media to share quotations about character, justice, leadership and power, tweeted an image of the Statue of Liberty on Dec. 5, saying he was in New York to meet with his publisher, with the note: "Hope leadership book will be useful. Reassuring to see Lady Liberty standing tall even in rough weather."
InStyle — Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018
THE GREAT ALONE by Kristin Hannah
A Vietnam POW returns from overseas and opts to relocate his family to a remote area of Alaska, far removed from the threats of war-torn societies, for a fresh start. All seems well until his PTSD kicks in during the harsh winter and turns their tiny cabin dream into a living nightmare.
LOOK ALIVE OUT THERE by Sloane Crosley
If accolades from Steve Martin and David Sedaris are any indication, Sloane Crosley's new collection of essays delivers, with hilarious takes on fertility, mingling with swingers, and her blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo on Gossip Girl.
Esquire — The 27 Most Anticipated Books of 2018
OLIVER LOVING by Stefan Merrill Block
Oliver Loving has been paralyzed and locked in his own mind for nearly a decade, the result of a shooting in his small Texas town. In Stefan Merrill Block's psychologically astute novel, the damaged people that surround Oliver try to piece together their own versions of what happened that night and since then, even as doctors prepare a new treatment that might help Oliver communicate again.
THE HAZEL WOOD by Melissa Albert
Here is one of those rare young adult fantasy novels that holds a self-contained world in only a few hundred pages. So much world-building, so little space. If the novel's heroine is a teenage girl, then her story will appeal to readers of all ages, with its intrigue and strange fairy tale magic and very grown up writing.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? by Marilynne Robinson
Even in her fiction, Marilynne Robinson has a nonjudgmental, earnest way of writing about religion that could make an atheist long for spirituality. President Obama is a fan. In this essay collection theology and current events and philosophy take center stage, and it's through the clarity of Robinson's words that hope in times of political strife feels appropriate and urgent.
SOME HELL by Patrick Nathan
A heartbreaker of a book, Patrick Nathan's debut novel captures the hell of adolescence under particularly dire circumstances: Colin is reeling from his father's suicide even as he navigates coming of age as a gay teenager. As they are wont to do, sex and death dominate Colin's thoughts as he makes his way, in agony but with an eye towards a hopeful future.
THE MERRY SPINSTER: Tales of Everyday Horror by Mallory Ortberg
Look out, Angela Carter. There's a new feminist fairy tale queen in town, and her imagination is as sharp as her wit. Ortberg, co-founder of the beloved website The Toast, takes her column "Children's Stories Made Horrific" to new heights in this collection of twisted tales that will shock and delight you.
Elle — 19 of the Best Books to Read This Winter
THREE DAUGHTERS OF EVE by Elif Shafak
From the most widely read female writer in Turkey, here's a novel that sees violence and nostalgia vie for one woman's attention on one intense night. In Istanbul, a relatively minor crime—an attempted robbery—sparks a wave of memories as the wealthy Peri ponders an old photograph of her college friends. As terrorist attacks break out, the religious and cultural differences between the three women demand her attention in the fraught present.
WHEN THEY CALL YOU A TERRORIST: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by Patrisse Khan-Cullors and Asha Bandele
Patrisse Khan-Cullors co-founded one of the most vital activist groups of recent years. Now, get to the heart of Black Lives Matter with her account of how the movement began, and marvel at the brilliance and persistence of her mission despite a continuing lack of understanding and compassion from many.
PEACH by Emma Glass
In the wake of a horrific sexual assault, titular protagonist Peach attempts to navigate a life that has tilted on its axis. As accounts of sexual assault and misconduct have arisen in recent months, our inability to reckon with such events and their aftermath has only become more clear. This short novel—under 100 pages—confronts the enormity with impressionistic grace.
FORCE OF NATURE by Jane Harper
Wow, this crime novel just gave me my newest nightmare: Five colleagues go on a hike (first mistake), and one doesn't return. Four different stories makes it hard for Agent Aaron Falk (whom we met in Harper's debut, THE DRY) to discern the truth. Don't read this one during the workweek.
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE? by Marilynne Robinson
Equipped with a heart and mind that seem more capacious than ours (though she might have a match in fan Barack Obama), Marilynne Robinson has made a career out of writing life-expanding novels and wonderings, like Pulitzer Prize–winning novel GILEAD. Soon, she'll give us a new set of essays about faith, life, and culture. readmoreremove

There was a time, before the Order and the rule of the Lord Marshal... A time of chaos and disorder and violence and wrath... A time when life was lived by the rule of the sword and the ferocity of the man that wielded it. Of loose tribes and warring clans... It was a time of strife and difference... A time of death.
And it is a time that is coming again.
The Song of Erik of Candar
Before arriving to Candar, Life had rarely been kind when it dealt with Erik...
Born the child of an adulterous woman, he had the early life of a bastard... Raised off in some convent never to know a mother's love lest her sins be discovered. The monks charged with his care spent more time hitting him than anything else, his beatings so frequent they were scheduled. It was so bad in fact, that at the age of ten he took off down the Marshal's Road; feeling his fortunes fared better on his own than under the watchful eyes of letcherous frocked men.
His assumptions bore true, his exchange for the cold of night and long days of hunger a welcome one to the beatings and torments at the hands of holy men... The only life they saw this bastard boy worthy of having being one of pain and penance for the sin of his ill-begotten existence. He used his new freedoms industriously, eventually making his way to Candar, the furthest most outpost on the Marshal's Road. There, a kindly miller named Hector took him in as his apprentice. This man too had been spit upon by Life, his sons taken by the Marshal's conscription years prior and his wife by the cough a few winters back. He was bitter and cold, but saw hope in the gaunt face of the boy he found half frozen in his stalls. He taught the boy all he knew, both of his trade and of life in general, and in time took to calling Erik "son". These feelings were shared by Erik, this embittered, broken man showing him more kindness than any other living soul ever had, and in his seventeenth year took the man's surname as his own.
Eric took to his new life quickly, needing only the opportunity to be worthy of more than lashing and scraps to ascend to such lofty heights. His pluck did more than garner the favor of the old miller, as others in the town took notice of the bright young man's talents. The elders marveled at his uncommon wisdom and pragmatism, while the young ladies fawned over his potential (it had to have been the only thing they saw in him, as years of neglect and abuse, while easily overcome by the spirit, could not so easily be forgotten by the flesh. His skin was scared and thin, with an unpleasant setting on his face). He settled on a wife, a buxom woman named Angeline with a keen eye for investment and a willingness to pursue, and was appointed chief tariff collector for the city- a high honor to be bestowed upon a man at such a young age.
His life finally having fallen into place, Erik of Candar felt as though the days of the Fates abusing him had drawn to a close. He slept easy at night, he felt making up for those lost sleeps of his youth and ate well at every chance (for much the same reason). In truth, there was little he denied himself when it came to indulgences (he was only resistant to the charms of women, his heart purely devoted to his beloved Angeline), but beyond that lived a sound and moral life.
He had a few successful years as Candar's Tariff Collector, making it as high a Chief Councilman of Candar (a mayorship, for all intents and purposes) before he reached his fortieth year. So when word came that the Lord Marshal was summoning Eric to Court for an appointment, it came as little surprise to Eric or anyone else in the City of Candar. It was whispered by some to be a Governorship, by others Chief Tax Collector of the Realm. But to Eric it was yet another grace that Fate was now sending the way of the one time long suffering bastard... The orphaned miller boy who made his way from nothing.
It was to accept such an honor that Erik of Candar found himself so far from home, riding along on the back of a worn out mare as he made his way to the Marshal's Court. It was a few days ride along the Road, a well worn gravel trail that cut through much of the Marshal's land. His beloved Angeline was stuck at home, only a few weeks away from the birth of their first born. The Old Woman by the stream, a woman known to still be familiar with the Ancient Ways, had told Angeline that she would birth a boy... News that Eric greatly relished. A grand promotion and the birth of a son... The well earned fruits of a life of struggle. Though at the time it didn't seem like that; finding himself so far from home, astride a withering horse as he rode the final stretches to the capital. He would have another day ahead of him, he was told as he rode out of Marshal's Keep- the final village between him and the Marshal's Grand Garrison.
Erik fancied himself a man of steely, steady resolve... Not easily thrown by jitters or fear. He had grown up hard, fending for himself at such a young age. But as he rode past the final stretches of Marshals Keep, he felt his stomach grow heavy. The heaviness grew as he rode, intensifying as the high forbidding walls of the fortress loomed off in the horizon. All the villages were in its shadow, and even Candar- as distant as it was- could still see on a clear day the faintest of silhouettes of the castle's spires off in the southern horizon, but as he fast approached the marshal's garrison the ominousness of the fortress became apparent. He could see the heavy grey stones clearly now, stained red with the blood of failed invaders, stacked a hundred foot high... The black and Crimson flags, proudly bearing on either side the Marshal's citadel, waving in the tumultuous mountain air like a violent bloody mist... He could even faintly see the crowning of the archer's helmets, keeping a watchful eye on the horizons.
This heaviness forced him to drink as he rode, hoping to settle his nerves a bit as he trudged along the final leg of his journey.
It was known as the "Sinner's Stretch", the road side lined with examples the Lord Marshal had chosen to make of those foolish enough to break his Laws. For the most part, the law breakers were confined to these large steel egg shaped cages, dangling precarious off jagged steel riggings. They were set there, many for days or weeks, others infinitely longer, to remind themselves and others what happened to those who broke the Laws of the Marshal. The various villages had similar forms of public chastisement, with similar charges and stockades gathered on the outskirts of town... But nothing like the collection on Sinner's Stretch. There, the cages went on for miles, dangling eerily in the still air. The creak of weathered, rusted metal sliding across weathered rusted metal was ear piercing at times, echoing off the jagged peaks of the forbidding mountain train opening a few hundred yards before him. Most of the cages went empty the further along he went, the crimes on this bit of the road reserved for the highest order. These criminals were treated with harsher punishments...
Long spears impaling decaying corpses broke up the clutter of steel pods, the rotting flesh sliding down the stained, greasy spears. Erik rode by as quickly as he could, feverishly pulling off his flask of wine as he dared not stare at the macabre spectacle that crawled too slowly for his taste by his lowly nag as they limped along their way.
It took most of the day to get through the worst of the nightmarish scenery, the grotesque torments of the condemned dwindling to a scant few collections of the black steel cages again. They eerily creaked as he rode past them, singing an eery hymn to the dwindling sun as it slowly fades off into the distant horizon. It tucked behind the jagged peaks of the mountains lining the walls of the roadway, hastening the departure of the sun's last rays as they were consumed by the shadows of the mountain. With his ride not near finished and the road growing too dark to continue, Erik's mind (a bit dulled by the wine he had been drinking all day) turned to finding a place to rest for the night. He had anticipated such a need for days now, the rest of his ride spent enjoying the comforts that his well earned station in life had earned (in the shape of a soft warm bed in a secured inn and warm meals every night), and in truth was looking forward to a night in the wilderness. He had longed for a night to recapture the ferrel days of his youth... To feel the night air on his skin, feel the crackle of energy as critters rolled in the nearby brush; fingers quickly clutching a sharpened blade as he determined if the scurry was friend or foe... He enjoyed his new life of comfort, but felt a night in his past skin might do him a bit of good.
Erik settled on a spot a few yards from a grouping of cages. He paid the cages little mind as he settled in a soft spot of grass just off the road, working quickly to establish a camp before the total darkness of night overtook. He build a small fire, using wood he had been gathering as he rode, and began searching for stones to cook his supper over the flame (some sausage he had picked up before leaving Marshal's Keep from a butcher promising them to be the best in the realm). He found a few good sized stones, even in size and roughly balanced, and a decent sized piece of slate suitable to cook on not far off from his camp site. He was sure to stay clear of the road, not wanting to get caught under the wheels of a late night racing wagon, but didn't dare get too far off the clearing... The woods along the foot of the Marshal's Mountains rumored to be crawling with polliwogs and goblins. He wasn't the superstitious type normally, and typically didn't buy into the wives tales and mutterings of the commoners, thinking himself better than such irrationalities.
But even still he felt it wise to not tempt fate.
With the sun settling off to the horizon, Erik of Candar settled himself by his healthy roaring fire and began building himself a makeshift stove. He placed the larger rocks with a bit of space between them and stacked the thin slate stone atop. He then build a little nest of kindling and dried grass, lighting it quickly with a stick off his campfire. His second fire going under the stone stove, he then unpacked his bag, pulling out the sausage and another skin of wine. He unwrapped the sausage (wrapped tightly in a thin cheesecloth) letting the three links breathe a little as he waited for the stone to heat up. It took a few minutes, time passing slowly as he sat in the dwindling twilight, the air tinged with the sweet smell of smoldering wood. He reached back into his pack, pulling out a simple clay pipe and a small pouch of tobacco. He packed the bowl, tapping it clear of lingering soot along the round stones before stuffing fresh tobacco into the ashy bowl. Lighting his pipe, he leaned back, enjoying the silence of the evening; the chorus of frogs and crickets chirping along to embruing wood taking him back to a thousand nights so long ago.
He took a sip off his wine, splashing the stone a little before doing so. He could smell the wine sizzle off the scalding slate. He squeezed a little more wine atop the stone, settling the sausage along the top of the sizzling wine; the dried casing pulling tight as the wine soaked steam engulfed it. He smiled to himself, his stomach rumbling a little as he carefully arranged the sausages to maximize cooking surface.
"Them sausage smell good, pops... You wouldn't happen to have a spare..."
He paused as he heard the voice speak to him in the darkness. It was calm and friendly, sounding very casual despite the jarring nature of its arrival.
"Who's there... Show yourself!" Erik called out to the darkness, pulling a short dagger out from his belt.
"Over here... By the cages..." The voice replied.
"I'd show myself, but..." It paused, rattling the bars that confined him.
Erik glanced at the cages across the road from him. He could see a shadow off the the back in one of the far cages. He found it odd, not having noticed anyone sitting in there prior (or that they had decided then to be the opportune time to speak up), but moved towards it none the less; stopping first by the fire to make a quick torch.
"That's it... Over here..." The voice lead, the shadow watching Erik slowly creep towards him.
Erik inched closer until he could clearly make out the man. It was difficult to make out everything in the fire light, but he could see the man was locked within one of the steel eggs. He sat with his legs criss crossed, thin knotted arms hanging out the wide gaps between bars.
"What's your name, convict?" Erik asked, his voice growing more confident seeing the man locked away.
"Darby, m'Lord." The shadowy man replied.
"Well, Darby. How did you happen to find yourself chained into the furthest set of cells on the road. It's like someone was going out of their way to forget you."
"You could say that. Slept with another man's wife." The voice replied nonchalantly, his cage creeping as he adjusted himself to better see Erik.
"And I take it the man had important friends?"
"The man was the important friend. It was the Sheriff's wife I bedded. Nice girl too. Sweet."
"And that didn't get you killed?"
"I imagine that was the point of the whole locking me half way to nowhere. Left me a week ago to rot with two days worth of moldy bread and sour wine. You might wanna go roll those sausage."
Eric paused, turning back to check his fire. He rolled the sausage, golden brown sizzling skin hissing as he pulled them off the hot stone. Readjusted (and baptized with a generous splash from his skin) Erik turned his attention back to Darby, slowly rocking his cage back and forth. He headed back towards the man with the skin of wine, taking in a mouthful as he walked over. He moved closer this time to the incarcerated man, eager to get a better look at him. The man was young, maybe twenty if Erik had to guess, and eye catchingly handsome. He had chiseled cheeks and piercing blue eyes that seemed to stare deep into a person when he gazed at them. His hair was long and blonde, though appeared darker under the week's worth of sweat and grime. His clothes were tatters, bloodied and torn clothe hanging off his thin, muscular frame.
"You say you been here a week and ain't a stitch of hair on your chin," Eric commented as he stared at the handsome man.
"Couldn't grow whiskers if my life depended on it," Darby smiled, rubbing his dirty hand across his cheek.
"It's why folks took to calling me Darby the Dandy. Mind if I get a pull off that wine? Been drinking rain water and piss for six days now and I'm not ashamed to say I am very thirsty."
Erik thought about it for a moment, the penalty for disturbing a man held in bondage nothing he felt like experiencing. But his loneliness thought better for him, his ears no longer fancying the dead silence of night.
"Guess there wouldn't be no harm in a pull... Not like you killed a man," he relented, handing the skin through the bars.
"Thank you, my Lord," the caged man replied, eagerly pulling off the skin.
"That's quite enough," Erik said, after feeling the man was taking too great a liberty with his skin. He grabbed at the leather strap, yanking it from the man's hands.
"Them sausages is gonna burn." The man then said, sending Erik into a race to his stove. He got there in the nick of time, the skin starting to burst as oil and juices exploded out from the cooked flesh.
"They sure smell good..." The caged man called out, hoping to perhaps befall a little more of Erik's charity.
"Did you get those in the Keep?"
"Yes," Erik said, tearing off a chunk of two day old bread, placing it in the grill to freshen up a bit.
"From Wallace? Oh, you're in for a treat, mate. That man was put here by the gods to make sausage, and he certainly does them honor..."
The man paused watching Erik in the flickering light prepare himself a sandwich.
Erik could feel the convict eyeing him as he tended to his supper, the sight and smell perhaps more tortuous than his sentence in the cage had been up to then. Finished preparing his sausages, he sat by the fire to eat, still feeling envious eyes fixated upon him. It gnawed at his good nature, having spent too many hungry nights himself to let another man wither away while he gorged himself.
He got up, carrying the three sandwiches and his skin, the flickering torchlight guiding him back to the cluster of cages. He set the sandwiches down on a stone as he tended to making a quick fire, bundling together loose sticks and moss before kissing it with his torch flame.
With the site brought to spectral life by the newborn flickering flames, Erik handed Darby one of his sandwiches, smiling gently to the bound man as he did.
"Here. Not gonna let a man starve while I feast. You can celebrate with me."
"And what exactly might we be celebrating?" Darby asked, jamming the sandwich into his mouth the second the final words exited it.
"My promotion. The Lord Marshal summoned me himself to bestow the honor."
"The Lord Marshal, you say... You must be an important man to garner such an honor."
"Well, I try not to brag," Erik said, feigning humility as he puffed his chest.
"You're an alright fellow, you know?" Darby said, jamming another bit of sandwich into his mouth. He tried to savor it but his hunger quickly turned him ravenous; attacking the sandwich without mercy.
"All kidding aside, you a tax collector or something?"
"Yes. Chief tariff collector for Candar."
"Candar, huh... You are a long way from home, my good sir... A long way indeed."
Erik took a pull off his skin, offering it to Darby once finished.
"So... A death sentence over a woman... I hope she was worth it. " He chuckled as the caged man took the skin eagerly from him.
"Ain't no gash worth this end."
"What was her name, if you don't mind my asking..." Erik volleyed back, starting to gnaw on his second sandwich.
"Alexia... Woman was a walking goddess, my friend. Fair skinned, full figured..."
"I can only imagine..." Erik teased a bit, tapping on Darby's cage with his boot.
"And she was the type that knew it too, if'n you get my drift."
"I know the type..."
"She liked to turn heads, that one did... Liked it more when you'd flirt with her a bit... Like she got off on the sin of it all."
Darby took a breathe, watching Erik finish up his sandwich.
"So how'd you get caught, if she was such an expert temptress? Did your charms finally land themselves on some lonely soul too naive to see you for the cad you are?"
"If it were only so happy an ending, rotting here as a star crossed love mourns me miles away. But it wasn't nothing like that. Just tempted Fate one too many times with that one, that fat sherif ripping me off his old lady mid stroke."
"You're kidding," Erik rolled, a hearty belly laugh choking his words.
"Wouldn't be in this cage telling you this if I was, mate. Fat bastard ripped me off her then beat us both stupid for making him a fool."
"He hit her too?"
"Damn right. She starred insulting him the second I came off... Kind of shit you never want coming out of your woman's mouth. Looking back, she might have gotten the worst of it, seeing as how I at least got to leave; his men dragging me out here to my current state." He gave out a hopeless sigh, clanking his head against he coarse iron bars as he did.
"Worse part was, the bitch wasn't even that good."
"As though you have much to compare to. You're just a pup."
"I grew up a few towns from here... Locke's Mead. The Conscription took many of the men from home for a long time... Women get lonely. And I get lonely women."
He paused as Erik withdrew his pipe from his coat, starting to puff on it.
Erik noticed the quiet, locking eyes with Darby. He offered him the pipe, again the convict grabbing eagerly at it.
"You were saying?"
"The women got lonely and bored and lusty, and I- too young to be called to serve and too pretty to be ignored- felt it my duty to keep my neighbors comforted during their hardship."
"And I take it people started to talk?"
"Not right away... But after a few of the war widows started showing, it could be said things got dicey. Figured it was time for a change of scenery and made my way to the Keep."
"And what was your trade there... I mean, besides whoring."
"A jack of all trades, if'n you will..."
"And now it's clear... You're a bum, Mr. Darby..."
"Begging your pardon?" Darby replied, feigning shock at the insult.
"You heard me well enough... You're a cad; corrupting legions of once virtuous women with your lusty charms. But it seems as though this road for you has come to an end." Erik stated, his ire fueled by the wine.
"You must forgive my confusion, Lord. I thought we were getting along... Did I offend you?" Darby asked, sarcastically.
"You did. You sit before me- young, strong, handsome, charming... And throwing it all away over cunt and frivolity. I could have the world, if I had your gifts... The fucking wor-"
Erik's speech was cut short as he felt a cold, grimy hand grab the back of his head. It pulled hard, taking him off balance. The unseen fiend was on him quickly, giving him little time to react before feeling the stinging pain of a jagged knife pressed against his throat. He relented his struggle as he felt the edge of the knife against his neck, surrendering. His body jerked a little as his unseen assailant yanked at him, tying his hands behind him as he layed upon the dirt and stone. He looked up, flickering light showing the shadows within the cage yanking the lock, popping it open easily.
"Took you long enough," he could hear Darby say to his partner, tying the final knots around Erik's chubby wrists.
He heard unintelligible chattering coming from behind him as his assailant made himself visible.
It was no man that had caught Erik off guard but rather a polliwog. He had never seen one, hardly believed any had still existed (if they even existed at all) but there walking before him stood one. The creature was short, no more than three foot, with a mess of ratty grey hair crowning his pointed rodent like face. He hissed as he walked by Erik, showing his jagged teeth as he menacing stared at his bound prey; continuing to chatter to his partner.
"Here." Darby said, handing whatever remained of Erik's second sandwich over to the creature.
It cursed at him in its marbled tongue.
"I know you don't like cooked meat. But it's all we got."
The creature chirped back, menacingly pointing at Erik as he did.
"No you can't eat the fat man. Why? Because he was nice to me, that why." Darby replied to the creature, seeming to understand his spewed clicks and screeches.
"Release me, damn you!" Erik cursed at the pair, struggling on the coarse ground.
"Or what? You're a long way from Candar, friend. Now shut up or my friend here will eat you."
The polliwog turned to Erik, snarling as he shook his knife towards him.
"I command you!" Erik screamed. His cried were replied to with a flurry of punches and kicks from the grey skinned creature; snarling as he struck Erik of Candar.
He was surprised by the power the tiny being had, his body sore from punishment. His chest hurt with he breathed and could feel his eye swelling in the afterglow of the attack.
"You fuck!" He swore, spitting blood from his mouth as he cursed the pair.
"I'll see to it that they impale you for this! So you hear me?!" Erik screamed, the pair distracted as they pilfered through his belongings.
"Weeeeellllll...." He heard from his campsite, his eyes too swollen and they to clearly see anything in the waning fire light. He could hear footsteps coming back to him.
"So," Darby said, dropping Erik's pack before him. He took a seat next to the bag, going through its contents before Erik.
"That's a nice full coin purse you have here, Erik. You really must be a real important fellow. And here are some credentials. And some clothes... Might be a little big but better than these rags. And what else... Oh, some bread, a knife... Erik, my friend... You have been our most profitable pigeon by far!"
Erik looked a bit confused, the wallops to his head and face starting to take their toll.
"Pigeon... Pi... Pi... Pigeon?" He managed to mutter, his words slurry and bloody.
"You'd be surprised just how little the soldiers who march this roadway actually carry on their person... Even after ol' Roger and I figured out to catch them before they made it to the Keep to blow it all on whores and opium, it was still hardly worth the effort it took to hatch this little scheme. But you... You, my sandwich sharing little pigeon,,, you have made this whole gamble pay off. Pay off proper too... Money like this, I bet I can even get my little friend sucked off."
Erik could feel himself sliding in and out of thought, the creature damaging him more than he would have expected. He could hear his horse shrieking, kicking up gravel as it struggled in the shadows.
"What's... what's..." Erik sputtered, struggling to keep conscious.
"Oh, that's Roger eating your horse."
"But I... I..."
"It could have been you... Could still be, if you prefer... Though I would rather suggest not. Polliwog like to eat living flesh." Darby replied, his low menacing voice drowned out by the blood curdling cries of the suffering animal being torn to bits by the ghoulish creature that had bound Erik. He could feel himself start to cry, warm tears rolling of his face; falling into dust and gravel below him to be forgotten forever.
He could no longer hear the horse whimpering; the only sounds left in the darkness were those of the polliwog sauntering back. He came into sight, hands and face bloody as he gnawed on purple flesh. He offered some to his companion; Darby quickly refusing it.
"It was a good haul... Yup, plenty enough to get you laid... I didn't know you heard the joke... Yes I do think I'm funny..." He said, pausing only to let the creature banter back in his chatters.
The creature chirped a few more words out, aggressively pointing at Erik.
"Well, that's your job... It is... It is... Look, I'm not going to argue. I bring them in, you handle the killing and stuff... You know it turn my stomach... No, I'm not being a baby..." They bickered a bit more, their conversation going on in infantile circles as they debated their responsibilities in the crime.
"Just do it so we can get the fuck out here... Soldiers vanish all the time, but this guy people will look for... No I didn't know he would bring us this much attention.... Just do it, damn it. I'm cold."
The creature finally gave up his debate, pulling out a chewed up blade tucked into his waistband. The creature lunged at Erik, driving the blade deep into his guts. It thrust and again and again, darting the rotund man's abdomen repeatedly with his knife.
"Not the stomach, you cruel monster! The guy was nice to me... No need to leave him bleeding out all night writhing. Make it quick and let's go." Darby exclaimed as he dressed himself in Erik's clothes, a bit sickened by his companion's ruthlessness.
The creature cursed at him, pulling his blade from Erik's stomach. He then dragged it across his neck, dark red blood exploding as it tore a seam along Erik's pink flesh.
His head grew light as blood oozed from his throat, warm blood trickling out from the deep cut left by the polliwog's blade. He could feel Darby grab hold of his feet (taking Erik's boot off before doing so), dragging him along the rocky terrain towards a dug in embankment off the road. He rolled Erik down the side of it, sending him crashing into a bog of mud and rotting bodies.
He took one final glance up, seeing the silhouettes of his assailants looking on as he slowly sank into the black, dark waters.
"It's a shame," Darby said to his companion, watching as the dark waters made what remained of Erik of Candar disappear. His companion barked back, still gnawing on horse flesh.
"No, I'm not getting soft. He was just nice, that's all. Rest of them pricks got their end being too distracted fucking with the caged sissy to notice you creeping behind. This poor devil got his sharing his supper and wine. Life's just not fair sometimes..." He paused, Roger replying in his tongue.
"Think what you want. Still had you do it. Hell, I even let you eat his horse. We could have used that fucking thing to get to the Keep... I understand you were hungry... I get it... I get it... Look, you wanna end this little partnership?"
The creature grew quiet at the sound of Darby's threat.
"That's better. Now let's head back. I'd like my cock sucked, my belly full, and head swimming in wine and merriment before the sun sees us again."
The two men wandered off back down the Marshal's Road, their shuffling feet along the gravel echoing for a bit as they marched along.

New Govt reforms for Victorian interpreters - increases to pay rates & conditions
Interpreters in Victoria will receive improved pay and working conditions as a result of a $21.8 million finding boost to sector, from 1 July 2018.
The move was made to strengthen the language services industry in Victoria.
Broad reforms to language services procurement were revealed by the Victorian Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Robin Scott, at a special event in Melbourne on Monday 25 June 2018.
Measures outlined in the announcement include;
- Guaranteed minimum rates for remuneration for contracted and casually employed interpreters providing services to the Victorian Government.
- Average increases of 30%
- Improved travel allowances.
In the 2017/18 state budget, the Victorian Government committed $21.8 million over four years to improve the capacity of the state's interpreting services. This is the largest single funding increase for interpreting services in Victoria's history.
The Minister also announced a new Language Services Quality Committee to advise the Government on industry sustainability and quality issues into the future.
"All Victorians have a right to access government services, regardless of their English language skills. Interpreters are vital to enabling this access," Minister Scott said.
Interpreter remuneration has been static for over 15 years. This has resulted in a decline in real pay rates over this period. Low pay rates and casual employment have created an environment of employment instability.
The reforms are the result of comprehensive consultation and evidence based reviews. The industry review identified that low barriers to entry have disincentivised employers from investing in skill development for interpreters. Unstable or unsuitable remuneration discourages practitioners from entering into the profession or remaining in the sector.
Quality and continuity of the professional workforce has been compromised by downward pressure on pay rates and procurement based on cost cutting tendering.
Experienced interpreters, confronted by the reality of working conditions that don't provide a viable income, leave the profession. The community is then not able to access suitable people when needed.
"As professionals, it's critical to put the community first, but we can't put the community first if we don't have appropriate conditions and standards."
Chris Walton, CEO Professionals Australia.
The news has delighted industry groups. Representatives and members of Professionals Australia (Translators and Interpreters), the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators (AUSIT) and Australian Sign Language Interpreter's Association (ASLIA) attended the event, and their work in highlighting the deficit in the industry was acknowledged.
"Interpreters in Victoria need to be treated as the professionals that they are, and this is a great start today." said Chris Walton, CEO of Professionals Australia.
Contributors to the initiative were credited for their work, with Chris Walton acknowledging support from ASLIA, AUSIT, Professionals Australia, and the Professionals Australia (Translators & Interpreters) committee.
"Today members can celebrate and feel proud on the leadership you've shown not only on behalf of interpreters, but you've done it for your passion for the communities you serve," Chris Walton said.
Increasing remuneration and improving conditions for interpreters and translators means that money will be going into the pockets of Victoria's interpreters and helping to ensure that the supply of quality interpreters is able to meet the demand.
- The new rates represent an increase for all levels of NAATI certification.
- The procurement process reform will support a high quality professional workforce in Victoria.
- The new Language Services Quality Committee will support better outcomes for communities that rely on language services.
- The reforms will improve the provision of quality language services and maximise service quality and and the long-term sustainability of the sector.
Interpreters provide a critical service in the community, improving access to health, education, training and employment services as well as the justice system and ensuring better outcomes for communities that rely on language services.

The islands of the Caribbean always make for a popular travel destination. With so many islands, and each offering its own uniqueness, it can be hard to decide which one to visit. This article will give you some tips for deciding which Caribbean island is the best bet for your next vacation.
When packing, make sure you split up your valuables. If you are packing multiple bags for a trip, spread your more expensive items out between them. Always avoid putting all your valuables in one bag in case this bag is lost or stolen. Losing only one bag is still terrible but might not ruin your trip.
If you are traveling to a small airport, do some research on which carriers use it. Some small airports may have charters with better deals.
If you are staying at a lower-cost or no-name hotel when traveling, never put your bag on the bed. Be sure to check the sheet and spreads for bugs. If you must take your clothing out of your luggage, hang it in the closet instead of putting in the dresser or onto the furniture. Bedbugs are a major problem in North American hotels.
A great travel tip is to shop around online for the best hotel deal. There are plenty of sites such as Priceline.com, where you can find and book the best hotel deal. Sites like these are great because they include all of the information in one place instead of you having to go looking for it all.
Look beyond the touristy souvenir shops. To find a souvenir that will remind you of your travels and actually comes from the place you visited, shop with the locals. In grocery stores, markets, and other stores that are off the beaten (tourist) track, you'll find things that locals actually use instead of the mass-produced trinkets.
To simplify the packing process, try to pack clothing in only one or two colors. For example, you could pack only blue and khaki skirts and pants and only shirts that are shades of blue and khaki. This technique ensures that everything you pack coordinates with everything else, so you will never have a problem finding something to wear on your trip.
Planning your travel in advance is always good advice to follow. Make sure to plan your trip at least a month or a few weeks in advance to ensure you have enough time to make changes. Planning ahead leaves more room for error and gives you more time to get the best deals on travel packages.
Make sure to drink plenty of water when travelling, especially when travelling by air. During busy, hectic days of travel, many people neglect to stay adequately hydrated, leading to feelings of nausea compounded by the stress you feel when travelling. Always have a bottle of water on hand.
Next time you're out on the town and looking to grab a bite, consider chowing down at the nearest Japanese restaurant. Fresh sushi and sashimi are full of protein, very low in fat, and also incredibly delicious. Salmon, for instance, is amazingly rich in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids.
If you've got a day ashore planned, why should you spend your time finding a place to eat and then paying a fortune for some food? Most cruise lines offer 24 hour room service. So before you disembark, have a sandwich and chips brought up to your room. You can pack it up and use it for lunch while you're out enjoying the sun.
As stated in the beginning of this article, the Caribbean islands are a very popular travel destination. Bright blue waters and white sandy beaches draw in many tourists all throughout the year. Apply the advice from this article to help you decide which island is the perfect fit for your next travel destination.

If you are thinking about a warranty, be certain to read the whole agreement and determine what the exclusions are before you get it. The legal warranty is connected to the item. Many warranties include stipulations and conditions, such as whom you may contact for appliance restoration. In that case, make sure you read the warranty carefully. Thus, go on and replace the diode, which isn't covered by warranty. A warranty against defects is provided along with the consumer guarantees and doesn't limit or replace them.
Different Appliance Warranty – the Conspiracy
If you purchased your appliance with a charge card, you might be dealt with under free extended warranty offered by your credit card company for a portion of its consumer protection package. If your broken appliance was purchased within past 30 days, you might have the ability to return it. In most cases, a busted appliance wouldn't be considered an emergency, so the ideal strategy is to keep up your composure and prevent scheduling a service call with the very first repair service you stumble across in the yellow pages or on the web. Contemplating that many home appliances become used almost each and every day, it's inevitable your household will require an appliance repair service at least every few years.
If you decide to upgrade appliances until they wear out, your policy may give you significant discounts for your purchases. There are various sorts of appliances that are employed in our everyday life. Your appliance is going to be a component of your kitchen, so make sure that it is visually pleasant and complements the interiors of your kitchen. It is almost always better to pay a bit more for an appliance to make certain you are obtaining an item that will endure and is hazard-free. By measuring the free space which you have, you can make sure you're going to be utilizing your appliance with no important complications. Upgrading home appliances is an easy approach in order to add value to a home, reduce energy consumption, and enhance the functionality of a specific space. Making certain your appliance works for the longevity you would like from your house is important to picking out the correct appliance.
The Tried and True Method for Different Appliance Warranty in Step by Step Detail
Warranties are generally provided by auto manufacturers as a piece of the total price of a new car. A house warranty differs from as home insurance. It is one way to ensure that you will not experience unexpected expenses from repairs to your residence. If you're procuring a house warranty, there's large number of businesses to pick from. Providing a house warranty might help you avoid a lawsuit later on. It will replace items that fail on their own, such as appliances. Coverage There are plenty of kinds of standard home warranties.
Different Appliance Warranty – the Story
In case the warranty extends to say 5 decades or 10 decades or just a lifetime warranty remember you're not likely to have the ability to judge whether the warranty fault is what was previously repaired. Again, you don't wish to void your warranty. If you own a warranty that demands a particular company, be certain to use them. You don't need to obtain a protracted warranty it's optional. In america, a kind of elongated warranty called vehicle service contracts are usually regulated by the states as insurance. Extended warranties have terms and conditions which might not match the original stipulations. Many extended warranties also consist of additional tangible advantages.
