'Grey Worm' gives this one pride. It is a lucky name. The name this one was born with was cursed. That was the name he had when he was taken as a slave. But Grey Worm is the name this one had the day Daenerys Stormborn set him free."
- ―Grey Worm
Grey Worm is a recurring character who debuts in the third season. He is played by Jacob Anderson. Grey Worm is the commander of the Unsullied, the warrior-eunuchs of Astapor whose reputation for combat is without equal.
Like all Unsullied, Grey Worm's castration as a boy resulted in changes to his body's hormones, so he is smooth-cheeked with absolutely no facial hair.
Grey Worm was originally a boy taken into slavery by the Good Masters of Astapor, an oligarchy of slave-traders dedicated to the training and commerce of Unsullied, warrior-eunuch slaves trained into absolute obedience since early childhood.
He is released from slavery after Daenerys Targaryen buys all the Unsullied in the city and has them put all slave owners in Astapor to the sword and release all slaves. Once released, Grey Worm, like all his brethren, chooses to fight for Daenerys as a free man.[1] Although he has thus far communicated with his queen exclusively in Low Valyrian, he has demonstrated an understanding of the Common Tongue, but has not spoken it.
Season 3
As per Daenerys's instructions, the Unsullied officers select their own leader to act as their official commander, reporting directly to her. Grey Worm is selected, though it is not established how. Upon reporting his election to Daenerys, she finds his name and its associated practice– given to him by the Good Masters to remind him that he is vermin– distasteful, and tells him that he and all Unsullied may use their original names or chose new ones they like. Grey Worm agrees to disseminate the instructions to the other Unsullied, but chooses to keep his. He considers that his birth name was cursed as he had it when was taken as a slave, while "Grey Worm" is a lucky name as it was the one he had when Daenerys Stormborn set him free.[2]
After Daenerys and her army set camp a short distance from Yunkai, Daenerys has Grey Worm send a man to the Yunkish gates to deliver a message to the Wise Masters: she will receive them in her camp to accept their surrender.[3]
Grey Worm is present when Daenerys hosts the captains of the Second Sons, Mero and Prendahl na Ghezn, and their lieutenant Daario Naharis. Grey Worm is highly offended by Mero's boorish and insulting behavior towards Daenerys and Missandei, and offers - in Low Valyrian - to remove Mero's tongue as punishment. Daenerys graciously has him stand down.[4]
Grey Worm is present when Jorah Mormont and Daario plan the infiltration of Yunkai. Grey Worm remains silent throughout most of the meeting, until Daenerys asks for his opinion of Daario. Grey Worm is not used to having his own opinions, but Daenerys gently encourages him by saying that he is a leader now, and he responds that he trusts him. Daenerys sends the three to sneak into the city. Grey Worm proves himself an artist with his spear, easily besting dozens of Yunkish guards. He returns to his queen battered but uninjured at the end of the night.[5]

In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Grey Worm is a stalwart and skilled warrior. Like all Unsullied, he doesn't have a real name, instead choosing a name every day by lottery from a barrel. The names the slave-masters came up with for them are intentionally demeaning, usually a combination of a color and a kind of vermin. He decides to keep the name Grey Worm as it is the one he had on the day he was freed.
Slaves in Astapor are taken from all over the world, and no indication has been given about where Grey Worm is originally from, or if he even knows where it is.

- "She was exceptionally good at evading enemies."
- ―Entry on Victoria's gift[src]
Enhanced self-preservation is Victoria's power to sense and escape any danger.
With this power, Victoria could identify any sort of danger coming at her the moment the ill will is directed, as demonstrated when she sensed James hunting her before they became a couple. Another example is when the Volturi came to recruit Heidi, and Victoria sensed that the Volturi were going to kill her and her coven mates after acquiring Heidi's talents.
It also allowed her to instinctively know how to evade an attack and know when to run without any particular planning ahead. For instance, when Jasper and Emmett made their moves on her, she easily dodged their pursue by inches and jumped into the Quileutes' territorial lands, sensing that they wouldn't cross over.
Bella Swan noticed her ability because while she was fighting Edward in Eclipse, her feet seemed to bring her to a safe place while warring with her lust for revenge. It is described as the feeling of being pulled to safety.
Because of this power, she was a very difficult opponent to be defeated by the Cullens. Whenever she found herself facing danger, her instincts were to run.
This power only worked on the user alone. Whenever Victoria was in danger, she would feel compelled to run away, and any desire to stay would become secondary as her desire to survive was too great for her to suppress, unless she was angered to a level strong enough to war with that instinct. It is very likely that her ability to detect danger is limited only to those coming from her enemies with the intent to kill.
This power is rooted in her ability to escape pursuers when she was human, being able to hide or run away without getting caught. She could also avoid the notice of animals.
As a vampire, her survival skill became uncanny, allowing her to sense and evade any danger. When the Volturi came to destroy her coven, she was the only one who escaped. While being chased by James, she manages to escape him for months until he becomes interested in her talent. When his ill-will toward her faded, so did her urge to escape, which allowed him to catch up to her.
In Twilight, when Victoria's mate James died at the hands of the Cullens, she escaped their pursuit with her power as her compass.
New Moon
While being pursued by Edward Cullen in New Moon, she sensed the danger and shook him off in Texas. When she returned to Forks, she was relentlessly chased away by the Uley pack. With her powerful survival instinct, it was difficult for her to make a bold move on Bella.
The hunt was seen in the movie, where she manages to evade Jacob Black's attack and escape the wolves by jumping into the water. None of the wolves managed to come close to her.
In Eclipse, Emmett attempted to jump on her, only for her to sense his assault and evade him.
In the movie, she is seen being hunted by the Cullens and the Uley pack, but manages to avoid capture and then escape through the Quileute tribal lands.
Similar abilities
- Afton: His power of mental invisibility allows him to become invisible to pursuers, which works well for self-preservation.
- Fred: His power of physical repulsion makes others unable to think of him for a short period of time, which makes him invisible and inapproachable to those who might want to harm him.


text: EU data protection reform could start 'trade war', US official says Technology 01 February 13 by Cyrus Farivar Shutterstock Brussels, Belgium -- Back in 1998, British comedian Eddie Izzard quipped on his Dress to Kill tour that the European Union was "500 million people, 200 languages. No one's got a clue what they're saying to each other. It's the cutting edge of politics in a very extraordinarily boring way." Fifteen years on, it's easy to understand how prescient his words were. But after spending two days in the Belgian capital, it's clear that digitally-minded officials, activists, lobbyists and members of the European Parliament are focused squarely on what could become a massively important change to the European Union's rules concerning data protection. What's more, they have the attention of US tech firms as well.As reported over a year ago, justice commissioner Viviane Reding of the European Commission proposed a "comprehensive reform" to existing data protection law, which would regulate how online service companies are allowed to keep information on their customers. Right now, anyone who cares about European tech issues has their eye on this ongoing legislation as it makes its way through various Brussels bodies. The legislation is not expected to take effect until 2016. And by all accounts, lobbying pressure from US government representatives and their corporate allies is intensifying at an unprecedented level as the draft amendments for data protection reform make their way through various committees pushing to strengthen what the European Commission has proposed. One economic officer in the US Foreign Service even commented this week (Google Translate) that the current reform draft could "instigate a trade war" with the US.Some European legislators don't mind the attention. "With this regulation, we really try to impact the US debate," Jan Philip Albrecht, a Green Party member of the European Parliament (MEP) from northern Germany, told Ars. He hopes that the entire parliament will vote on the reforms before the next European Parliamentary election in June 2014.Albrecht is the "rapporteur," or parliamentary liaison between his Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice, and Home Affairs (LIBE) and the European Commission on this issue. Albrecht acknowledged that US tech companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and others would be among the most directly affected should these new reforms that he has proposed take effect."[Of course, reform isn't affecting the US] directly, but we hope that there would be a debate in the US about if it could be a good example for the US to follow?" he added.In this case, a new regulation would offer major improvements over current law. The data protection reforms as proposed by the Commission would consolidate existing data protection rules, would require data breach notification within 24 hours, and would include a "right to be forgotten" clause, allowing citizens to "delete their data if there are no legitimate grounds for retaining it".At present, the data protection reform bill could also make data portability easier -- moving data from LinkedIn to Facebook -- and could impose new fines of between one and four percent of global revenues for companies that violate the EU's rules.At present, tech companies doing business across the EU must pay attention to the rules in all of the 27 member states (soon to be 28, when Croatia accedes to the union later this year). Commissioner Reding has stated that allowing companies to deal with the data protection authority in the main EU country where they have their establishment would collectively save businesses around €2.3 billion (£2 billion) a year. In the case of Facebook, for example, that would be Ireland, where the company has declared its international headquarters.Control over personal dataThis month, MEP Albrecht published his draft response to the Commission's proposal -- and that's certainly ruffled some feathers.Here's one of the most noteworthy additions that he put forth in his 215-page draft (PDF) expanding on what the Commission had initially proposed: The right to the protection of personal data is based on the right of the data subject to exert the control over the personal data that are being processed. To this end the data subject should be granted clear and unambiguous rights to the provision of transparent, clear and easily understandable information regarding the processing of his or her personal data, the right of access, rectification and erasure of their personal data, the right to data portability and the right to object to profiling. Moreover the data subject should have also the right to lodge a complaint with regard to the processing of personal data by a controller or processor with the competent data protection authority and to bring legal proceedings in order to enforce his or her rights as well as the right to compensation and damages resulting of an unlawful processing operation or from an action incompatible with this Regulation. The provisions of this Regulation should strengthen, clarify, guarantee and where appropriate, codify those rights.Beyond his formal response, the 30-year-old German legislator has endorsed a new petition (the "Brussels Declaration") from civil liberties groups, digital rights associations, and many of Europe's technorati."We are outraged, because we, the citizens, are now kept in hundreds of databases, mostly without our knowledge or consent," the petition thunders. "Over 1,200 companies specialise in trading our personal data, mostly without our knowledge or consent, every time we browse the internet over 50 companies now monitor every click, mostly without our knowledge or consent, we are constantly being categorised and judged by algorithms and then treated according to the 'perceived value' we may or may not bring to business without our knowledge and consent, and lobbying is currently replacing European citizens' voices and manifest concerns." Signatories to the petition include groups like Bits of Freedom (Netherlands), Electronic Privacy and Information Centre (USA), European Digital Rights, Privacy International (UK), the Chaos Computer Club (Germany), La Quadrature du Net (France), and well-known European activists, including Smári McCarthy (Iceland), and Max Schrems (Austria).

|Benito's newborn army
|Founding information
|Founding time
Benito's Coven
|Membership information
Conquering the territories of Mexico/Texas
- "Benito had created an army of newborn vampires. He was the first one to think of it, and, in the beginning, he was unstoppable."
- ―Jasper, on Benito's history.[src]
Benito's newborn army was an army coven of newborn vampires initially designed by Benito to overrun other covens and claim their territories. It was the first newborn army ever created in history.
It was eradicated by agents of the Volturi after it's rampage in South America in the 1820s.
In the 1820s, a young vampire named Benito invented the idea of using newborn vampires as an army due to their superior strength and speed that make them stronger than regular vampires.
Since his soldiers were made of young violent vampires, he had to constantly replace them with new ones as they turned on each other. Every time he conquered a coven, he had lost more than half of his force, which also prompted him to make more.
By building this army, he destroyed covens that controlled New Mexico and Texas and claimed their territories. Other covens began to use this method in self-defense and the Southern vampire wars began. In the end, the death toll of humans caused by the wars reached epidemic proportions and the Volturi stepped in to stop them. This coven was the first to be eradicated - including Benito, and then other newborn armies were wiped out as well. Mexico was empty of vampires for a few years before the wars began again, but on a smaller, less conspicuous scale.
To this day, vampires residing in the southern parts of America are still imitating his idea to build their own armies. Maria of the Mexican coven and Victoria of the Seattle newborn army are the best examples.
- Benito: The leader of this army and inventor of newborn armies. He was slaughtered by the Volturi for attracting too much notice from humans.
- Multiple newborns created by him. All of them were slaughtered by the Volturi.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Works great for me, lasts even two days without adding more. Tips for new orders: you have to moisten the top of stone and rub it in your armpit MORE than twice that the "saltshield" evolves.
Deodorant contains ammonium alum = Ammonium aluminium sulfate = (NH4)Al(SO4)2·12H2O, which is suspected of the same effects as aluminum chloride. Take it into consideration.
Very good product

Fantastic Product!
Posted by vinetu28 on Aug 31, 2012
Ever since Gillette stopped making its deodorant gel, I've been looking for something to replace it. (Yes, they still have anti-perspirant gels, but they used to have a straight deodorant gel too.) This Crystal Body Deodorant really does the trick. I'm a stinky guy and I need deodorant. Not that other deodorants don't work, but of the half dozen or so I've tried the past few years, I like this one the best. It is as good as or better than anything else I've used, plus it's natural and a lot milder than anything else. I don't like anti-perspirants because they don't work for me, I still sweat. So whether the chemicals in anti-perspirants are harmless or cancer causing is a moot point, they just don't work so why take the chance. Plus, I feel a stickiness when I do end up sweating. This deodorant is just a block of some sort of mineral salt. You have to wet it to apply, or just don't dry your pits after you shower and it is moist enough to apply. Very mild, I haven't had any sort of reaction to it. You can even use it on other body parts like your feet. This thing lasts forever. I've had mine for half a year and can't even tell that it's been used at all. I even feel like I put it on "thick". I rub it around my pit a lot more than the one or two swipes I would with a regular deodorant. Remember, this is not an anti-perspirant. You will still sweat. The one drawback I've noticed is, sometimes if I'm wearing a tight undershirt and have a sweaty day, my shirt will start to pick up an odor even though my pits themselves won't stink at all. The spray version works as well, it just doesn't last nearly as long. Crystal Spray Body Deodorant, 4-Ounce Spray Bottles in 3-Count Packages. And other than the packaging, I don't think this "Men's" version is any different than the regular stick, they are both fragrance-free. I'm sure that results of this product vary from person to person. If you sweat excessively and generally smell...

Best Crystal Deoderant
Posted by TheGeneral on Aug 13, 2012
My entire family, including my children, use this product. We have tried others, but prefer this brand. They last a long time, but you need to be careful when handling them because they do come out of the holder. If they hit the counter or the floor, they crack or chip and leave sharp and rough edges on it. We find them very effective in preventing body odor. They are not an antiperspirant. They also last quite a long time and have no fragrance to them. Very healthy alternative to traditional deodorants. Don't need to use a lot either. A great and effective product. iHerb is my favorite place to buy most of my supplements because of their price, integrity, shipping, and customer service and product knowledge.

From Phoenix, AZ
Posted by Reviewer1891571 on May 21, 2009
Those who have been to Phoenix, AZ know how HOT it gets here in the summer time, but this deodorant surprisingly does its job well. It doesn't prevent you from sweating since it's a natural process, but it does help you with odor. And it doesn't leave those nasty stains on your clothes! It is a little less convenient compared to other deodorants because you have to moisten it, but I don't really care as long as it works and is natural. I will definitely buy it again.

Creative play…
Posted by Peggy | Filed under Inspiration, Musings, Solutions
Today I thought I would take a break from my "What I saw in…" travel series and share the work of Jonas Jungblut with you. I was recently in Santa Barbara with two good friends (yes, I do love to travel!) and picked up the Santa Barbara Magazine to check out the arts scene there. I was immediately struck by the organic quality of Jungblut's sculptures. Untitled (shown above) is made of driftwood found along the beaches in Santa Barbara. I suppose you could interpret this sculpture in many ways, but after reading up about Jungblut – originally from Berlin, Germany – being exposed to the gritty guerilla street art scene perhaps explains a lot. On the other hand, when the sculpture is set on sand, with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop, it tells a very different story.
A balancing act… not an easy task to achieve indeed, especially with a piece like this, 476 (shown above) are made of beach pebbles. I feel I could sit on the buff all day and just bask in its tranquility. The quiet delicacy of his work is, dare I say, contagious. Lately I've been feeling the need for (more) balance in life and the crave for quietness.

- Abstract
- This research paper uses system justification theory (SJT) as a lens to understand stakeholder resistance during an Enterprise System (ES) implementation project. A case study is presented involving a problematic ES implementation illustrates the efficacy of SJT in this respect. The findings show that SJT explains a number of features of stakeholder resistance. Firstly, SJT makes comprehensible the tendency of stakeholders to vigorously defend established systems on which they feel they depend. Secondly, the theory explains and predicts the tendency of system defenders to attack not just the features of the new system but the advocates of the new system as well. Third, SJT predicts the tendency of stakeholders to switch allegiances when the new system is seen to be inevitable. Finally SJT explains the emotional and non-rational nature of some resistance behaviours. The paper concludes with some practical implications of SJT for the project management of ES implementations.

May 3, 2016
Officials say at least three are dead as a result of Monday's central California earthquake, and aftershocks are still being felt.
The U.S. Geological Survey gives the quake a preliminary magnitude of 6.5. It was centered north of the coastal town of Cambria about 185 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
In downtown L.A., the quake was felt as a sustained but gentle rolling motion, and with the terror alert now at orange, the quake puts people even more on edge.

The price of a bottle of liquor could be going down under a proposal from Gov. Paul LePage, who wants to increase state tax revenue from alcohol sales in Maine. The governor's liquor tax plan would wipe out nearly a half-billion dollars owed to Maine's hospitals. In his weekend radio address, the governor says the new revenue will be generated by sales currently being racked up by Mainers in New Hampshire. But health care advocates worry that alcohol abuse will rise as well. A.J. Higgins has this report.
Gov. Paul LePage announced earlier this week that he wants quick legislative action on his plan to float a bond to repay state Medicaid debt owed to Maine's hospitals. The state's $186 million share would receive an additional federal match, to give Maine's 39 hospitals a long-overdue payday of $484 million in outstanding Medicaid payments.
LePage would also release $105 million in voter approved bonds in return for the Legislature's support. But the linchpin for the whole deal could pivot on the return Maine is currently getting from its sales of Allen's Coffee-flavored brandy, Absolut vodka and other liquors.
"The fact is with this plan, the state will see a much greater return on investment," LePage said.
LePage says the enhanced liquor revenues will be generated by the negotiation of a new retail liquor distribution contract when the current agreement expires in mid-2014. The governor envisions an arrangement that gives Maine a larger percentage of the profits and more control over pricing to make Maine more competitive with New Hampshire - a state he says many Mainers travel to when they want to buy liquor.
"The current contract has cost Maine hundreds of millions of dollars, and my plan will return this money to the state," LePage said. "We will contract out many services, among those logistics and warehousing. I believe under state management we can actually grow the business by lowering prices on spirits so Maine can better compete with New Hampshire. It will also give a better value to the customer."
The increased tax revenue LePage says his plan generates would come not from wide scale increased consumption in the state, but from the Maine sales that are currently lost to New Hampshire. If there are problem drinkers among those New Hampshire buyers, state Rep. Lance Harvell, a Farmington Republican, says LePage's plan certainly won't make their situation worse.
'Right now, if an alcoholic hypothetically is buying his alcohol in New Hampshire, Maine is still having to cover the costs," Harvell says. "That might be a bad way of putting it, but anyone buying alcohol there that could potentially be from Maine, Maine is having to cover the social costs of that."
"It concerns me greatly to think that we would be lowering the price of alcohol," says Dalene Dutton, the executive director of Five Town Communities That Care in Rockport that focuses on a number of problem adolescent behaviors - including substance abuse. She says it's clear to her that Mainers who are currently buying their liquor in New Hampshire won't be the only ones contributing to the state's new tax revenue collections.
"Studies have shown that the higher the price of alcohol, the fewer kids drink and the fewer kids get into trouble as a result of drinking, so we have car accidents and other accidental injuries and things like that, sexual behavior, all of these things," Dutton says. "Lowering the price of alcohol logically to me is going to increase the incidence of substance abuse - alcohol use - which is not a good thing for the state of Maine."
Democratic lawmakers who hold a majority on the Legislature's Appropriations Committee say they will want to see some level of acceptance by the LePage administration that lower alcohol prices will mean increased social costs. The governor's budget provides about $170,000 more in the next budget cycle for the Office of Substance Abuse than it does this year.
Committee member Sen. Emily Cain, an Orono Democrat, says that the OSA needs to receive an allocation that reflects the potential costs associated with the proposal.
"There is no way to just look at the business side without looking at the potential impact on substance abuse and the need for additional substance abuse, prevention and treatment in our community," Cain says.
In a prepared statement, Rich Cebra, chairman of the Maine Republican Party, urged Democrats in the Legislature to support the governor's plans for a new liquor contract revenue bond and put politics aside.

(written from a Production point of view)
William Blackburn, also known as Bill or Billy, was an uncredited background performer on Star Trek: The Original Series for all of the show's three seasons. In that time, he played a wide variety of roles, usually as a navigator or a helmsman, all believed to be a character named Hadley. In total, he appeared in 61 episodes of the series. In addition, archive footage containing his appearance in the original series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" was used in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".
Originally recruited as DeForest Kelley's stand-in, Blackburn popped up in many small roles. He was the White Rabbit in "Shore Leave", an Organian villager in "Errand of Mercy", the robot constructed by Henoch in "Return to Tomorrow", one of Harry Mudd's androids in "I, Mudd", a native of Gamma Trianguli VI in "The Apple", and a NASA technician in "Assignment: Earth". He also was the subject of various make-up tests (including the make-up for Frank Gorshin and Jay Robinson and the Tellarite make-up for "Journey to Babel") and provided voice overs on the show – including the White Rabbit – although his own character of Hadley never spoke on-screen. Blackburn told, that maybe he spoke a few lines as Hadley, but they were cut from the eventual episodes. [1]
Blackburn also often provided the off-screen voices during the actual filming (such as the voice of Trelane's parents in "The Squire of Gothos"), which would be dubbed-in during post-production. It was originally the job of script supervisor, George A. Rutter, but Rutter insisted on Blackburn doing it instead. [2]
A former professional ice skater, Blackburn was an uncredited extra on films such as Spartacus and Snow White and the Three Stooges prior to his work on Star Trek. He acquired his job on Trek through assistant director Leonard Shapiro, whom he had worked with on the television series My Favorite Martian, where he was a stand-in for Ray Walston (later a guest actor on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager). Blackburn reportedly saved Shapiro's job on Martian so, to return the favor, Shapiro got him an assignment on Star Trek. As Blackburn recalled, he was told to sit at the conn and to not speak.
During his time on the set of Star Trek, Blackburn shot some 8mm and Super-8 home movies of the various behind-the-scenes goings-on of various cast and crew members. He filmed over an hour of footage, which he has kept for the most part in a safe-deposit box since the series ended in 1969.
After Star Trek, Blackburn became a costumer. It was Trek costume designer William Ware Theiss who convinced him to seek this job. [3]
As his first job in this new occupation, he worked with Theiss on MGM's 1976 film Bound for Glory (starring Ronny Cox). He later served as costumer on projects such as the 1978 NBC mini-series The Awakening Land (featuring Bert Remsen). He shared an Emmy Award nomination as a costumer on the 1980 TV movie The Diary of Anne Frank (featuring Clive Revill) and worked with Star Trek star William Shatner as a costume supervisor on Shatner's series T.J. Hooker (co-starring James Darren and Richard Herd). According to Blackburn, Shatner greeted Blackburn on the set (referring to him as "Billy"), but could not understand why he was in costuming and not acting.
Blackburn went on to serve as key costumer for the television series Night Court (starring John Larroquette). In 1990, he co-wrote, directed, and appeared in a film called Challenge the Wind, about a conflicted young boy who yearns to be a track star.
Blackburn prefers not to capitalize on his Star Trek connection. [4] However, he was recently interviewed on a segment of the British television program After They Were Famous, which also featured highlights from his silent Super-8 home movies that he had taken on the set. In July 2007, he made his first convention appearance, at Comic-Con International in San Diego. There, it was announced that he had contracted with CBS and Paramount to release several minutes of his home movie footage on the upcoming HD DVD release of the original seres' remastered first-season episodes that fall. The feature, "Billy Blackburn's Treasure Chest: Rare Home Movies and Special Memories" was continued with the release of season 2 and season 3.

Managing Exception Conditions
An exception is raised if an error occurs when executing an SQL statement. Every exception is identified by an exception condition, expressed in terms of its SQLSTATE value.
About SQLSTATES
An SQLSTATE value is represented by the keyword SQLSTATE followed by a 5-character string containing only uppercase alphanumeric characters. The first two characters of the string identify the exception class and the last three the exception sub-class.
In Mimer SQL, the range of possible SQLSTATE values is divided into standard values and implementation-defined values. The implementation-defined values are those beginning with the characters J-R, T-Z, 5-6 and 8-9. For a list of the values, see Mimer SQL Reference Manual, Appendix E, SQLSTATE Return Codes.
Whenever an exception is raised, the exception condition is placed in the diagnostics area and the SQLSTATE value can be retrieved by using the RETURNED_SQLSTATE option of GET DIAGNOSTICS.
Condition Names
In addition to expressing an exception condition in terms of its SQLSTATE value, it is possible (within a compound SQL statement) to declare a condition name to represent it.
Whenever a condition name is used, it is immediately translated into the SQLSTATE value it represents. For more information, see Declaring Condition Names.
SIGNAL Statements
It is possible to raise an exception without an error occurring by using the SIGNAL statement. When the SIGNAL statement is used, the specified exception condition is placed in the cleared diagnostics area, expressed as its SQLSTATE value, and control proceeds as if an error had just occurred.
Example:SIGNAL SQLSTATE 'UE456';
Exception Handlers and Actions
It is possible to declare exception handlers in a compound SQL statement that perform some action when exceptions are raised. The action defined by the exception handler is associated with one or more specific exception conditions, or one or more exception class groups, specified when the exception handler is declared. For more information, see Declaring Exception Handlers.
If there is an exception handler action defined for an exception condition that is raised, the exception handler action is performed and execution continues in the manner defined by the type of the exception handler.
If no exception handler action has been defined for an exception condition that is raised, the default error handling mechanism is invoked (which usually makes the exception condition visible to the calling environment).
If the exception NOT FOUND or an SQLWARNING is raised in an unhandled situation, execution will continue and the exception will be cleared by execution of the next statement in the procedure. The GET DIAGNOSTICS statement can be used to test for the NOT FOUND exception and an SQLWARNING.
RESIGNAL Statements
It may be necessary for an exception handler action to re-raise the current exception condition or to raise an alternative exception condition. The RESIGNAL statement is provided for this purpose and it may only be executed from within an exception handler.
If RESIGNAL is executed without specifying an exception condition, the current exception condition remains in the diagnostics area and the error handling mechanism proceeds to deal with the error as if the current exception handler action had not been found.
If an exception condition is specified (in the same way as for SIGNAL), this is pushed onto the top of the stack of exceptions in the diagnostics area, becoming the current SQLSTATE value, and the error handling mechanism proceeds as just described.
The size of the exceptions stack in the diagnostics area is set by using the SET TRANSACTION DIAGNOSTICS SIZE statement, see Exception Diagnostics Within Transactions.
Use of RESIGNAL is useful in situations where there are nested exception handler actions defined and it is required that an enclosing exception handler action be invoked from an inner one, or where the default error handling mechanism is to be allowed to proceed from some point within a defined exception handler action.
Examples:RESIGNAL; RESIGNAL SQLSTATE 'UE456';
Declaring Condition Names
As discussed in the previous section, exception conditions are identified by an SQLSTATE value. Whenever an exception is raised, the exception condition that identifies it is stored in the diagnostics area in the form of its SQLSTATE value.
It is always possible to specify an exception condition by using its SQLSTATE value, e.g. SQLSTATE VALUE 'S0700', however it is often desirable to declare a condition name that represents the SQLSTATE value in a way that more meaningfully describes the exception.
Condition names may be declared in a compound SQL statement, see the Mimer SQL Reference Manual, COMPOUND STATEMENT, for a detailed description.
Example:DECLARE invalid_parameter CONDITION FOR SQLSTATE 'UE456'; ... SIGNAL invalid_parameter;
Following this declaration, the condition name INVALID_PARAMETER can be used instead of the SQLSTATE value SQLSTATE VALUE 'UE456' whenever there is a need to refer to this exception condition.
If a condition name is used in a signal statement the associated SQLSTATE value and the condition name is placed in the diagnostics area. If the condition does not have an associated SQLSTATE value, the SQLSTATE value 45000 is used. A condition is always local to a routine, i.e. consider the following example:create procedure p2() begin declare condition c1; ... signal c1; end create procedure p1() begin declare condition c1; declare exit handler for c1 begin ... call p2(); ... end end
In this case the exit handler in the procedure p1 will not be invoked when the statement signal c1 is executed.In order to catch a signaled condition the associated SQLSTATE must be used. The condition identifier can be propagated by using a RESIGNAL statement.
All SQLSTATE values in Mimer SQL that lie outside the range of standard values are treated as implementation-defined, so all SQLSTATE values are handled in the same way and may be specified explicitly in all situations.
Declaring Exception Handlers
Exception handlers may be declared in a compound SQL statement in order to define an action which will be executed if specified exceptions are raised within the scope of the exception handler.
The structure of the handler action is the same as the body of a routine, i.e. a single executable procedural SQL statement. The exceptions to which the handler action will respond may be specified as a list of exception conditions or by specifying one or more exception class groups.
The exception class groups are:
- SQLWARNING covers SQLSTATE values beginning with 01.
- NOT FOUND covers SQLSTATE values beginning with 02.
- SQLEXCEPTION covers all other SQLSTATE values (including those in the implementation defined range), excluding those beginning with 00.
An exception handler that is declared to respond to one or more exception class groups is referred to as a general exception handler.
An exception condition may be specified by its SQLSTATE value or a condition name declared to represent it. An exception handler which is declared to respond to one or more specific exception conditions is referred to as a specific exception handler.
The same exception condition must not be specified more than once in the same exception handler declaration.
An exception handler can either be a general exception handler or a specific exception handler, i.e. an exception handler declaration cannot contain both exception class groups and specific exception conditions.
Exception handlers are declared in the local handler declaration list of a compound SQL statement and the scope of an exception handler is that compound SQL statement plus all the SQL statements contained within it except when another routine is invoked. When a user defined routine is invoked all exception handlers in the calling routine will get out of scope and they will get into scope again when the invoked routine has finished executing, e.g:CREATE PROCEDURE innerMost(INT x) BEGIN -- no handlers in this routine IF x > 0 THEN SIGNAL SQLSTATE 'UE345'; ELSE SIGNAL SQLSTATE 'UE543'; END IF; END CREATE PROCEDURE outerMost() BEGIN DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE 'UE345' BEGIN END; DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE 'UE543' BEGIN END; CALL innerMost(0); CALL innerMost(1); CALL innerMost(2); END
When the signal statement with exception UE543 in the innerMost routine is executed, the execution of this routine will be stopped as there is no handlers declared. The exception will the be propagated to the outerMost routine which has a continue handler for this exception. This means that the execution will proceed with the next call statement. This will cause a new exception (UE345) being signalled. Again this exception will be propagated to the calling routine and the first exception handler will be invoked. As this is an exit handler the execution will continue after the end of the compound statement in the outerMost routine, i.e. the statement call innerMost(2) will never be executed.
The exception handler will be executed if one of the exceptions it is declared to respond to is raised within the scope of the handler.
A local handler declaration list can only contain one exception handler declared to respond to a particular exception condition or exception class group.
It is possible to declare a general and a specific exception handler, both of which cover the same scope, where an exception condition specified for the specific handler is in one of the exception class groups specified for the general handler. If the exception condition is raised in this situation, the specific handler is executed in preference to the general handler.
It is possible for the scope of two specific exception handlers, which respond to the same exception condition, to overlap. This will be the case if there are two nested compound SQL statements and each declares a specific exception handler for the same exception condition (this is permitted, provided the two exception handlers are not declared in the same local handler declaration list). In this situation the innermost exception handler action will be executed.
The same is true for two general exception handlers in this situation.
The RESIGNAL statement can be used in situations like this, in the inner exception handler action, to get the outer exception handler action to execute by propagating the exception out from the exception handler action which is currently executing.
Types of Exception Handlers
Exception handlers fall into the following types:
- Exit Handler
This type of exception handler will execute when the exception condition(s) that apply to it are raised. After the handler has executed, flow of control exits the scope of the compound SQL statement containing the exception handler declaration, by effectively performing a LEAVE, see Scope in Routines - the Compound SQL Statement.
- Continue Handler
This type of exception handler will execute when the exception condition(s) that apply to it are raised. After the handler has executed, flow of control continues by executing the SQL statement immediately following the SQL statement that raised the exception.
- Undo Handler
The execution of this type of handler will be initiated when the exception condition(s) that apply to it are raised. Before the handler action executes, all changes made by the executed SQL statements in the compound SQL statement, or by any SQL statements triggered by them, are canceled. The handler action is then executed and flow of control exits the scope of the compound SQL statement containing the exception handler declaration, by effectively performing a LEAVE, see Scope in Routines - the Compound SQL Statement.
- Note: An UNDO exception handler can only be declared in a compound SQL statement that has been defined as ATOMIC, see The ATOMIC Compound SQL Statement.
Examples of Exception Handlerss1: BEGIN DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION BEGIN ... END; ... END s1; s2: BEGIN DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE 'S0700' BEGIN ... END; ... END s2; s3: BEGIN DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE 'S0700' BEGIN ... END; ... s4: BEGIN ATOMIC DECLARE UNDO HANDLER FOR SQLSTATE 'S0700' BEGIN ... END; ... END s4; ... END s3;
Using the GET DIAGNOSTICS Statement
The GET DIAGNOSTICS statement can be used in a general exception handler to get the specific SQLSTATE value that provoked execution of the exception handler.
Example:DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR SQLEXCEPTION BEGIN DECLARE v_state CHAR(5) DEFAULT '?????'; GET DIAGNOSTICS EXCEPTION 1 v_state = RETURNED_SQLSTATE; CASE v_state WHEN '22003' THEN ... WHEN '20000' THEN ... ELSE RESIGNAL; END CASE; END; -- of sqlexception handler
Note that GET DIAGNOSTICS must be the first statement in the exception handler as the diagnostics area always contains information about the latest statement.
The GET DIAGNOSTICS statement can also be used to get information about warnings and not found exceptions.
Example:SELECT format into v_format FROM formats where category_id = v_category_id; GET DIAGNOSTICS EXCEPTION 1 v_state = RETURNED_SQLSTATE; IF v_state = '02000' THEN -- not found ELSE -- found END IF;
It is not meaningful to use the GET DIAGNOSTICS statement to check for errors after a statement.
Example:BEGIN DECLARE v_state CHAR(5); DECLARE EXIT HANDLER FOR sqlexception BEGIN ... END; INSERT INTO format(format,category_id) VALUES (v_format,v_category_id); GET DIAGNOSTICS EXCEPTION 1 v_state = RETURNED_SQLSTATE; END
If an exception occurs in the insert statement this will be catched by the exception handler and as this is an exit handler the execution will resume after the compound statement. Thus, the diagnostics statements will never be invoked in this case. Even if it is a continue handler the get diagnostics statement is superfluous as the handler would clear the diagnostics information.

Dukes Boulevard LTA

Liberty City Subway station

|Francis International Airport: 3/8
|Next south
|Huntington Street: 3/8
Dukes Boulevard Station is an inactive Liberty City Subway station located on Dukes Boulevard in East Island City, Dukes, in Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodes.
The station is located along an LTA branch line that splits from the 3/8 Broker Line north of Huntington Street station. The stop possesses the standard twin platform station seen all over LTA's elevated train stations.
According to signs posted on the street level gates of the station, the Dukes Boulevard station is closed as it is undergoing "works maintenance" and passengers must use another station. The closure is reinforced with the presence of fences, barricades, scaffolding and maintenance equipment on the platforms and lines; in addition, no trains stop at the station.
Curiously, in the Vlad Glebov mission "Clean Getaway", the subway train you take as part of the mission does stop at the Dukes Boulevard station. This may be due to the fact that this mission is one of the first in the game and the station has probably not been closed for renovations yet. Although you never actually see the train pull up there, you spawn on the platform after the subway ride cutscene ends. There also aren't any fences, maintenance signs, or equipment at the station in this mission (except for a police barrier on the opposite platform entrance), so that the station seems to be in use. The station is referred to by Vlad during the opening cutscene of the game as E.I.C. Station.
In Grand Theft Auto The Lost And Damned and Grand Theft Auto The Ballad Of Gay Tony on the disc, Grand Theft Auto Episodes From Liberty City the station is there and still inactive but there are no signs giving any information about why. Also on the platform and track there are no construction materials or any sign of life.
- The homeless man, that plays an instruments at multiple subway stations around the city, and Niko can give $10 to, still appears at this station even though it is closed for maintenance.
- In Clean Getaway, Vlad mistakes this Station as the East Island City Subway Station.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- Seth Curry hit his first seven shots during No. 3 Duke's torrid start, helping the Blue Devils jump to a big lead and beat rival North Carolina 69-53 on Saturday night.
Curry finished with 20 points, while Mason Plumlee turned in his best performance in a month with 23 points and 13 rebounds. That duo provided Duke (27-4, 14-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) all the punch it needed to earn a season sweep of the Tar Heels.
Duke scored the game's first 14 points, never let UNC (22-9, 12-6) closer than nine and led by 25 points after halftime. The Blue Devils shot 55 percent, including 18 for 26 (69 percent) in a first half that silenced a once-rowdy Smith Center crowd.
UNC had gone 6-1 since going to a four-guard lineup in the first meeting, but the Tar Heels looked rattled once the Blue Devils charged in front, and never recovered.

Video: "Arm Rubber" Joins List Of DC Area Perverts
ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) --The creepy news about a man sneaking into women's bedrooms while they sleep is rattling residents at the Meridian apartment building near Arlington's Courthouse.
"That's really scary. You think of this place as safe, but you can get kind of negligent with keeping your doors locked," said resident Becky Rockey.
Three times over the past few weeks, women residents have woken up to a strange man standing near their bed, staring at them.
Arlington police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck said the three separate victims from separate incidents were all awoken at around 4 and 5 in the morning to see a male stranger standing in their bedroom. In that last incident on September 21st, the man was rubbing the woman's arm.
Sternbeck says the man fled when the women woke up. He said one of the women lives alone, another has a roommate, and the third was in bed with her boyfriend. They all came home late after a night of going out. Sternbeck says the women are not sure if they locked their doors or not.
"We don't know if the person is a resident or piggy-backing upon residents as they walk in following closely behind them," said Sternbeck.
Some residents were upset that the management had not informed them about the incidents.
The Meridian's management would not answer our questions, but Sternbec says they are now alerting every resident about the break ins and changing all the locks on the doors. One of the problems in getting the word out was that two of the women did not come forward for days.
