for the Melrin ask - Worst thing you think Merlin ever did. im so curious about this one

I had to think so much about this one too.

I don't know. I love Merlin, he's my favorite character. I justify everything he does, even if it's bad. That's what happens with any favorite fictional characters.

I don't want to say "Not telling Arthur sooner" or "Mistrusting Mordred" or "Poisoning Morgana" or anything of the like because, to be fair, that's a given. It's something a lot of us will lament about. Mainly because the writers did not do their job properly (imo).

I'd say, the worst thing he did, to me, is be passive.

I'm bringing up my own values and morals here because I believe that Merlin ruined himself and all of Albion by being passive. By listening to the dragon and not doing his own research. By being whatever Arthur needed him to be. By taking things upon himself. By not trusting others because that's what he was told.

If Merlin had been a little more assertive and a little more sure of himself and what he wanted, then the show would have gone on in an entirely different direction. But he's passive. For the majority of the show. The biggest time where he's not is in the first scene where he challenges Arthur because he wanted to stay true to his ideals and values which was to stand up against bullies who prey on the ones who can't defend themselves against them.

If he had been more assertive, he would have told Arthur earlier, he wouldn't have poisoned Morgana, he would have trusted Mordred or even Gwaine and the others more.

But he let himself be led by Destiny and Kilgharrah and Gaius and whoever else advised him rather than take some time to think things through first. Like Arthur does.

The thing about Merlin and Arthur here is that Arthur really is bolder than Merlin, but in a different way. He is bold in a way Merlin lacks, which is with practical and tactical matters. He questions Merlin's judgement, questions his father's judgement, Gaius's judgement. Agravaine was a main villain for season 4 because of his perfect ways of manipulation and deceit in a way that it got past Arthur's critical thinking and assertiveness. Arthur doesn't take things at face value and is willing to consider different ways things can go and the show mostly shows that when it comes to questioning Merlin's judgement (like about Agravaine and the siege tunnels and about Gwen at first etc). But in the first few seasons, he questioned his father's judgement a lot too but the fandom mainly focuses on Merlin's opinions vs Arthur's even though he and Uther had met head-on-head multiple times.

Arthur doesn't take things at face value which is why it's possible for so many magic reveal fics to look and be accurate.

But Merlin does. Merlin takes a lot of things at face value. He took Kilgharrah's sayings at face value, he took Gaius's (good-hearted but misguided) warnings at face value. He took what the druids said, what Edwin Muirden said, what Julius Borden said, what that druid seer in the Diamere episode said, and so many others at face value. Just accepted it without thinking much about it and went forward.

Don't get me wrong, Merlin has a very strong moral compass and moral thinking. But he lacks critical thinking. Something which Arthur doesn't lack. They complete each other in this way.

But if we're not looking at all that then I'd say the worst thing I believe Merlin ever did was poison Morgana because- WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK MERLIN, DID YOU NOT THINK OF ANY OTHER FUCKING SOLUTION???? HOW ABOUT GETTING MORGANA OUT OF THE CASTLE? HUH? WHAT THEN? WHAT ABOUT TELLING HER THAT HEY, I'M GONNA POISON YOU BUT DW I HAVE THE ANTIDOTE SO THAT I CAN REVIVE YOU AGAIN WHEN MORGAUSE COMES AND LIFTS THE SPELL BC I KNOW THAT YOU DONT WANT THIS EVEN THOUGH YOU THINK UTHER SUCKS. I MEAN, THE USED THAT PLAN SEVERAL HUNDRED TIMES ALREADY, WHY COULDN'T THEY USE IT THIS ONCE???????

Pakistan Seeks USD 3.5bn Loan from Saudi Arabia for Diamer-Bhasha Dam Project

The Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) government is under fire for its perceived apathy towards looming health threats in the region, leading to a critical halt in the immunisation programme in the vulnerable Diamer district.This suspension not only jeopardises the health and well-being of the local population but also raises questions about Pakistan's commitments to international organisations.The dire situation unfolded due to the non-payment of salaries to 57 trained employees in Diamer district, including 48 vaccinators and nine data managers, for the past two years. As a result, these essential workers have refrained from carrying out their duties, exacerbating the health risks faced by the community.The G-B Health Department's attempt to regularise these crucial staff members under the "Strengthening of Routine Immunisation under EPI Gilgit-Baltistan" project faced obstacles during the previous government of PTI, casting doubt on the continuity of essential healthcare services in the region.Despite initial support for the project's elevation to regular status, the notification was abruptly withdrawn a week after issuance based on recommendations from the then Chief Minister, Khalid Khurshid.Khurshid emphasised the need for a comprehensive re-evaluation, leading to the contested status of 48 vaccinators who sought legal recourse.The Chief Court of G-B ruled in favour of the aggrieved staff, acknowledging the unique circumstances of the Diamer district and directing the department to regularise the services of the remaining vaccinators and data managers. The decision revealed allegations of personal grudges influencing the re-evaluation process.Official documents underscored a fair induction process in 2019, which did not impose any conditions for a diploma. The trained staff underwent extensive training sessions conducted by WHO and UNICEF, contributing significantly to the success of the Health Department's immunisation targets.Despite repeated attempts, the Secretary of Health G-B, Dildar Malik, remained unreachable.The current Chief Minister, Haji Gulbar Khan, who assumed office after Khurshid's disqualification due to a fake degree, has struggled to address this critical issue, potentially placing his government at risk, especially in the event of a regional health emergency.Amidst this crisis, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF closely monitor the situation, expressing concern and dissatisfaction with bureaucratic hurdles presented by the government. The international organisations emphasise the urgency of resolving these issues to ensure the continuity of essential health services and protect the well-being of the local population.>> Source: Tribune Latest News #Health #crisis #immunisation #halt #GilgitBaltistan

Water Conservation for Valuing Water: World Water Day (22nd March 2023)

World Water Day is celebrated annually on March 22nd to raise awareness about the importance of water conservation and management. The day is also used to highlight the challenges that people face in accessing clean water and sanitation. This year's theme, " “accelerating the change to solve the water and sanitation crisis,” calls on us to recognize the essential role water plays in our lives and to take action to protect this valuable resource. In Pakistan, a country that faces severe water scarcity, efforts are underway to conserve and manage water resources.

Pakistan is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, with water availability per capita less than 1000 cubic meters, which is below the internationally recognized water scarcity threshold. The country is heavily reliant on its Indus River system for water supply, which has been under severe pressure due to climate change, population growth, and water mismanagement.

To address these challenges, Pakistan has undertaken various initiatives to conserve and manage its water resources. One such initiative is the construction of dams and reservoirs to store water during the wet season for use during the dry season. The construction of the Diamer-Bhasha dam, which is expected to store over 6 million acre-feet of water, is currently underway.

In addition to the construction of dams, Pakistan has also implemented policies to encourage efficient water use in agriculture, which accounts for 95% of the country's water consumption. The government has introduced measures to promote drip irrigation, which uses less water than traditional irrigation methods, and to encourage farmers to switch to crops that require less water.

Another important initiative taken by Pakistan is the promotion of rainwater harvesting. In many parts of the country, rainfall is the only source of water, and the country has vast potential for rainwater harvesting. The government has introduced policies to encourage the construction of rainwater harvesting systems in homes and public buildings.

Pakistan has also launched programs to improve access to clean water and sanitation. The government has constructed water supply schemes in rural areas, installed hand pumps and tube wells, and launched campaigns to promote hygiene and sanitation practices.

Despite these efforts, Pakistan still faces significant challenges in managing its water resources. The country needs to invest more in water infrastructure, improve water governance, and promote public awareness about the importance of water conservation.

In conclusion, World Water Day serves as a reminder of the essential role water plays in our lives and the urgent need to protect this valuable resource. Pakistan has taken important steps to conserve and manage its water resources, but more needs to be done to address the country's severe water scarcity challenges. The government, civil society, and individuals must work together to ensure that everyone has access to clean water and that this precious resource is managed sustainably.

A Brief Account of the Tools are Used By Professional Plumbers

Professional plumbers use specialised tools for solving plumbing issues. The types of tools they use depends upon the type of issue you have got with your plumbing system. Let us take a dig into the issue.

Sink Auger:

A sink auger, which is also called the drum or canister auger is one of the best and the most essential tools used by plumbers in Brisbane as anywhere else, to break up and clear the clogs of the sink and the tub drains.

Closet Auger:

A closet auger, also known as the toilet auger is used by the plumbing professionals to clear the clogs in the toilets. It is a long metallic rod that features a bend, needed to reach out into the hole at the very bottom of the toilet bowl.

Flange Plunger:

The flanged or the toilet plunger is a specially designed plunger that is used for clearing the clogs in the toilets. The tool works just like a conventional plumber, but it features a flange, which helps in installation of seals around the hole at the very bottom of the toilet bowl.

Sub Plunger:

The cub plumber is the most common and widely used plumbing tool by the professionals. It is also used at homes during DIY plumbing works. It comes with a cup-shaped end attached to a wooden handle. It comes in handy in clearing clogs in tub, suinks, basins and showers.

Plumber’s Tape:

Plumber’s tape is an essential material, which is used to prevent leaks at the threaded plumbing joints and connections. These tapes are thin and whie that can be wrapped around on the pipes and fittings.

Channel-type Pliers:

These pliers are also referred to as the slip-joint pliers, and are similar to the regular adjustable pliers. However, they come up with extended adjustable sections, and angled jaws, which allow the plumbers to rip pipes of varying diameters and other plumbing parts and components of any size. These tools come in handy for twisting and squeezing.

Adjustable Pipe Wrench:

This is one of the quintessential tools that is a MUST HAVE in a plumber’s tool kit. This tool is designed to provide sound grip on tools and pipes of any diamers. The grip it provides is secured much due to the digging of its sharp serrated teeth into the surface of the pipe.

Other tools are Faucet Valve-Seat Wrench, Faucet Packing, Washers and O-rings, and Tubing Cutter. Thus, when you hire a plumber near Brisbane, ensure that the professional possesses these tools.
