Watcher (Highlander)

Watchers is a secret organization that watches the Immortals in Highlander: The Series and all subsequent related series and movies.

They were introduced in the season 1 finale as a cliffhanger for the subsequent season. Since then, they became an integral part of the series and Duncan MacLeod's adventures.

Appearances

In "The Watchers", Joe Dawson explains the purpose of the Watchers to Duncan MacLeod: "For as long as your kind's been around, we've been watching ... We observe, we record, but we never interfere... Too much of man's history has been lost. When you get through all of life's crap, the only thing that matters is the truth. We want the truth about Immortals to survive, not a bunch of old wives' tales... If we had revealed your secret in more superstitious times, you can imagine the witch hunts... And today... You'd probably end up on page three in one of those supermarket rags next to the two-headed monkey and I'd've been in a straight jacket."

The Watchers is a secret society of mortal humans that observes the lives of the Immortals without revealing themselves. While the Watchers seem to have the resources to function independently, there are Watchers like Joe Dawson who run their own businesses to provide a cover as well as income. Each Immortal is assigned a Watcher whose sole job is to monitor and record daily activities. The network of Watchers generally keeps careful tabs on subjects and tracks even the casual movements of the Immortals. Most Immortals are unaware of the Watchers. The organization was created by Ammaletu, the Akkadian, after he saw Gilgamesh coming back to life. In early episodes all Watchers wore a medallion of the symbol of their organization. In later episodes, each Watcher has the symbol tattooed on the inner wrist.

To SELECT one row of data from a table called tab with a primary key column (pk) set to 100 — use the condition pk = 100:

To identify whether a table tab has rows of data with a duplicated key column dk set to 100 — use the condition dk = 100 and the condition having count(*) > 1:

Condition (philosophy)

Comprehensive treatment of the word "condition" requires emphasizing that it is ambiguous in the sense of having multiple normal meanings and that its meanings are often vague in the sense of admitting borderline cases.

According to the 2007 American Philosophy: an Encyclopedia, in one widely used sense, conditions are or resemble qualities, properties, features, characteristics, or attributes. In these senses, a condition is often denoted by a nominalization of a grammatical predicate: 'being equilateral' is a nominalization of the predicate 'is equilateral'. Being equilateral is a necessary condition for being square. Being equilateral and being equiangular are two necessary conditions for being a square. In order for a polygon to be a square, it is necessary for it to be equilateral—and it is necessary for it to be equiangular. Being a quadrangle that is both equilateral and equiangular is a sufficient condition for being a square. In order for a quadrangle to be a square, it is sufficient for it to be both equilateral and equiangular. Being equilateral and being equiangular are separately necessary and jointly sufficient conditions for a quadrangle to be a square. Every condition is both necessary and sufficient for itself. The relational phrases 'is necessary for' and 'is sufficient for' are often elliptical for 'is a necessary condition for' and 'is a sufficient condition for'. These senses may be called attributive; other senses that may be called instrumental, causal, and situational are discussed below.
