User talk:Vague Rant/Archive 2

Some arrangement modified by me to fit with my preferred style.

Mistake
You must have made a mistake here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.40.239.194 No one at this IP address edited anything before Decemeber 17th, and what article are you referring to?

One of many users at 68.40.239.194

Dear Vague Rant
OK cool, I have a novel idea (maybe even an idea for a novel) — Let's start over. Thanks for being so quick off the ball with the copyvio policing even if it got my furr felined good and proper.

I think we can now safely say the copyvio issue is being sorted, even as our eyes scan this page. (Probably before). Sorry if I caused offence. I'll write my own offense up to experience. Wikipedia is a good resource, which both of us (I assume) are trying to maintain in the standard we'd like to see.

In the meantime (Greenwich or UTC) how about you lend a hand with the clean up process of the pages you've alerted me to as problematic? And put both the cudgel and the can of whip-ass away while I learn the ropes in this here wiki-universe

Keep well and happy wiki-ing.

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing to put behind us. I harbor no ill will towards you, all I have done is report articles which appeared to be copyvios. Anyway, it's come time for us both to proceed. Have a good one. - Vague | Rant 07:14, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)

Expasy and Ensembl
This is natarajanganesan clarifying the two removals you have made. I had to provide information and links to Expasy and Ensembl which I found missing and was prompted to create information on. If you do happen to find information already on wikipedia I would be glad if you could provide links to them. Both these organisations are popular Bioinformatics sites.

I am learning to wiki around so that I may be able share some useful information.

Thank you natarajanganesan

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * That's great, I'm glad you want to contribute to the Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information on Expasy or Ensembl, but you're welcome to write some yourself! Anyway, I'm glad to have you aboard. - Vague | Rant 06:02, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

 * Could you help me restore the links to Expasy and Ensembl. I need direct links to be provided to them. Thanks natarajanganesan 2:31PM Dec 24th 2004

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * Hmm, which sort of links do you mean? Internal, or external? I'll explain both:
 * " Article " creates an internal link to "Article", which looks like "Article".
 * " Google " creates an external link to "Google", which looks like "Google".
 * I hope that helps. - Vague | Rant 10:23, Dec 25, 2004 (UTC)

Linking lesson
Thanks for your help making the links. I finally got it done the way I wanted it, using your model, and posted it to Slashdot -- where it fairly quickly got modded up to 5 for Informative! I've also copied that "article" you created so I'd have it for the future. (Next time you want to do something like that, you might make it a User:Vague Rant subpage, so you wouldn't have to go through deleting it.) JamesMLane 02:44, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * Thanks for the sub page suggestion, but I probably would have ended up throwing a on that in my user space, anyway, so it really didn't have much benefit either way. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to help. - Vague | Rant 07:30, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

Regarding copyrights
The following conversation originally appeared on Rajatster's talk page:

Wait what are you talking about?

 * The list of top-grossing films you posted appears to have been copied from Yahoo.com's movies section. If you had permission to use the information you posted, please do tell us so on the article's talk page, and, as I said above, on Copyright problems. If you don't own or have permission to use the copyright, then Wikipedia, unfortunately, can't use the content. - Vague | Rant 10:51, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes this information is compiled by exhibitor relations and is free to use by anyone

 * The information, yes, but the manner in which Yahoo chooses to present it is owned by them, and in this case it was presented in the exact same format. - Vague | Rant 11:04, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)

 * do you want me to rework the format then?

 * If you'd like to, on the "/Temp" page. Oh, and before I forget, if you'd like to sign your comments, you can do so by adding ~ (four tildes) to the end of your comment. - Vague | Rant 11:11, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)

Re your copyvio request
In the interest of completeness, my original comment is preserved here:

The original piece is located here:. Also, I don't appreciate the implied accusation. Good day. - Vague | Rant 08:04, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

 * Sorry you don't like the implications, but the page I see doesn't match the external link you've provided. In other words, not a copyvio.  Thanks for stopping by and good luck in the future.  —RaD Man (talk) 08:13, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * If you read the VFD debate, you'll see that the article was reworded. I'm unsure of your knowledge of copyright law, but I assure you that such a reword is not enough--it's a refactoring of a copyvio, which is still a copyvio. That much was even stated in the debate itself. - Vague | Rant 08:34, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

 * IANAL, but as far as I know you can't copyright facts, only content. If you could cite the law in question I might be inclined to change my vote.  But what I'm looking at on Wikipedia and what you provided me are two different things.  —RaD Man (talk) 09:13, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * Okay, here's the first paragraph past the intro in our article as it is at the moment:
 * Up until 1951, the area surrounding New Lenox did not have a local high school district. The absence of a high school created a considerable inconvenience for the four communities.
 * And here it is in the original:
 * The Lincoln-Way Community High School District was organized in 1951 by the voters residing in the ninety square mile area. Prior to 1951, this area did not have a local high school district. The absence of a high school created considerable inconvenience for the citizens of the' four communities.''
 * Emphasis mine, I'm using it to illustrate the articles' similarities, and while, yes, it is factual information, copyright law does not only cover the content, but also its arrangement. Our article presents itself in a noticeably similar manner to the original, and the manner in which they are presenting it is copyrighted. If nothing else, the copyrighted material appears word-for-word in our article's History, which in itself is a violation. Personally, I have no opinion of whether this article's subject deserves an article, it doesn't really bother me. I just want that article (or lack of one), to be within the law. - Vague | Rant 09:23, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your followup. Can you please cite the law that says you cannot paraphrase text that is arranged in a certain matter?  And can you also please cite where it says that the original text is copyrighted?  I agree, we do need to be within the confines of the law (U.S. law).  —RaD Man (talk) 09:54, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * To be honest, I do not have knowledge of exact laws. I am aware that mildly rewritten text is still in violation of the original's copyright. I can't prove that for you, but I don't think it's especially necessary. It won't be either you or me who removes the article (assuming it is removed), nor will your vote or mine be important if it is a copyvio. As for a copyright notice on the page, I'm sure you're aware that a copyright notice is not necessary for material to be copyrighted. The text I type at this very moment is itself copyrighted, though I do not have a copyright notice anywhere within it. I don't mind if you don't feel that this is a copyvio. In the end, it will be up to whoever feels like worrying about it. - Vague | Rant 10:06, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

Irish dialects
Hi, yes, I'm the author of http://www.ling.uni-potsdam.de/~green/gaeilge/gaeilge.htm, the source of the Irish dialects page as well as Irish phonology, Irish orthography and some more to come. I couldn't update the pages anymore at uni-potsdam.de, so I'm moving them to Wikipedia. I've put notes in the discussion pages of each article explaining the the material is my own, so there are no copyright problems. --Angr 12:30, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * Excellent, thank you for confirming that. - Vague | Rant 01:51, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

OfficialWire
You removed the page I wrote. I own the website/business OfficialWire. Do I need to add some reference to the page? Help.

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * I've restored your article. Usually, in cases like this, we assume good faith, and move on. If it does turn out to be a violation, it doesn't really matter, we can delete it when the copyright owner complains. Seems like that won't be happening in this case. Have a nice day. - Vague | Rant 08:45, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

TPS Reports
Yeahhh, did you get that memo --Boothy443 10:20, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm also going to need you to go ahead and come in on Sunday, too. By the way, someone vandalized your user page. I reverted. Might have been that Thomas Yu guy you marked as speedy, but I didn't check. - Vague | Rant 10:26, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, i notced that, no it was 62.171.194.43, been tracking his vandalism stuff, i need to take a break from what i was doing anyway. --Boothy443 10:30, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

underscores in template names
Any reason you are against them? It's certainly optional to use them, but there's no reason to remove the existing ones. - UtherSRG 03:19, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * Underscores in templates simply don't do anything. Putting aside the fact that it's possible to include them, I can't think of any reasoning why they should be included. When linking, we prefer not to underscore, and I think the same should be said of templates. There's no purpose to it. If nothing else, it's easier to press space than to hold shift and press hyphen in order to get an underscore. - Vague | Rant 03:23, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

Also, there are about a jillion taxoboxes (and other infoboxes) with underscores galore in their templates. --Yath 03:22, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, but I don't see how that explains why underscores should be used. It just shows that people using taxoboxes took their source from the tutorial, which itself included underscores. - Vague | Rant 03:27, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * I didn't mean to imply that I care one way or another, but rather, that changing them all will be a huge project of dubious utility. So, why are you changing them? --Yath 03:35, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * It doesn't need to be a project at all. If I happen upon an article with underscores in templates, I remove them. The more people who learn to use spaces in their templates, the faster the Wiki is able to work (albeit marginally). I don't think that something being small (like the amount of time it takes to use an underscore) or the size of something (the number of templates already including underscores) should stop us from progressing. - Vague | Rant 03:48, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * I have been transforming non-template taxoboxes into templated ones with a program, and there are several hundred (at least) still to be done. I could change the program to use spaces very easily. If it makes the wiki work faster, I really should. Does the use of spaces result in a performance increase? --Yath 03:56, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I wasn't clear enough in that. It doesn't make the Wiki any faster that I am aware of, it's just easier for editors themselves to use spaces. - Vague | Rant 04:11, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)

Excuse me for jumping in without knowing the context, but I tend to use underscores in templates for one simple reason: to prevent multi-word article titles breaking across lines. If the context is inappropriate, just imagine that I've blushed; lowered my head; and slunk away. Noisy | Talk 19:50, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

Rock and roll
Your last edit blanked rock and roll. Since I assume this wasn't your intent, I reverted it. I see your previous edit had changed the Rolling Stones link, but unless I'm confusing myself, that edit was kept in my rollback for some reason. Anyway, you may want to check to make sure whatever you meant to do got done. Tuf-Kat 00:46, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * In the interest of completeness, my response is preserved here:
 * Yeah, that's a bug. Seems to be new as of 1.4.3beta. Thanks - Vague | Rant 00:50, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

Everyking arbitration
I've filed an arbitration request against Everyking. Please comment; brickbats for my foolhardiness are more than welcome. Johnleemk | Talk 07:52, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations, VR!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 07:17, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Best you can do? Well, of course you can't do any better -- because what you produced is perfect!:) Thank you so much, what you did was extremely helpful. It's a joy to see the collaborative process work so beautifully here.Zantastik 23:01, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

GCOTW
I'm giving you this message because you have been active on Gaming Collaboration of the week in the past. The collaboration had a bit of a hiatus, but it's now active again. A new article will be chosen this Sunday. It would be greatly appreciated if you visited the page to vote and/or make new nominations and worked on next week's GCOTW. Thanks. --Slowking Man 08:18, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

Aishwarya Rai
Vague Rant,

You listed the article Aishwarya Rai as a copyright infringment artilcle on Jan 10th 2005, please see article history:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aishwarya_Rai&oldid=10011976

You cited the link of:

http://www.galawallpapers.com/gallery/867/Aishwarya_Rai as the source.

You failed to check that the site itself acknowledges the WIKIPEDIA article as its source; (meaning the wikipedia article was/is original and not copied). Please check the site and see at the bottom, where they have mentioned wikipedia as the source.

One has to be very careful before accusing an article of being copyvio. Otherwise you will be deleting contributions by people over several months or even years.

Because you have wrongly attributed copyvio to the article Aishwarya Rai, it had to be rewritten, however the earlier version was much better and had an original picture. Please do the needed to restore the earlier version and be very careful the next time while going on a rampage listing pages as copyvio. Water Fish 01:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

About your edit to the Cheating in Counter-Strike article: One doesn't 'beat' anyone in Counter-Strike. Maybe you're thinking of Boxing. People Frag or Pwn each other, and only pwnd is correct in that place.

Being helpful
Thank you for your suggestion! When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make whatever changes you feel are needed. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit any article by simply following the  link at the top. You don't even need to log in! (Although there are some reasons why you might like to...) The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes—they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome.

Hey
Hey—didn't realize you were back. It's nice to see you around again! — Knowledge Seeker দ 05:07, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Well, I hadn't been seeing you around like I used to, and it looks like you didn't make any edits for a couple months. Of course, I haven't been able to do much recent pages patrol, so I don't run into you tagging copyvios like I used to. Hey, has your signature always linked to Vague instead of your user page? I never noticed it before... — Knowledge Seeker দ 07:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Favorite Songs
My survey has changed. I am now continuing my mission for the best songs, but now I am accepting all genres. I'm giving you a chance to revote for your top ten favorite songs of any genres (not just classic rock which is still the best). I've made a executive decision to keep the existing survey results and just add on to that with the new entries. My feeling for doing this is because classic rock is the most influential genre in music currently so it should be expressed more in the survey. Thank you for contributing in the past, and hopefully in the future. ROCK ON. RENTASTRAWBERRY  FOR LET?   röck  03:32, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Since you are one of the people who proposed very well-designed logos over here, I thought you might be interested in the contests for a meta:logo for Incubator and a meta:New logo for Wiktionary.

Unspecified source for Image:Linda, Paul and Denny.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Linda, Paul and Denny.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. cholmes75 (chit chat) 14:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Scream If You Wanna Go Faster.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Scream If You Wanna Go Faster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Rayman character art.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Rayman character art.jpg fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason: most stupid "fair use" of all time, see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Rayman  To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Rayman character art.jpg, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Image:Rayman character art.jpg itself.

Fair use rationale for Image:Lwtcdi.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lwtcdi.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 03:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

your article
Hello Vague Rant,

the article you started Into the Sun is now Into the Sun (album). I updated your profile for you on that also. This is because Into the Sun (disambiguation) refers to two movies and Sean Lennon's song. I am right now redirecting everything so that it all works out.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Tekkaman Blade.png

Augustine Ukattah

Augustine Ukattah (August 28, 1918 – January 27, 1996) was a Nigerian teacher and politician.

Early life
Augustine Echewodor Ukattah was born at Ahaba-Oloko in the Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State, Nigeria, on August 28, 1918. Ukattah was the fourth son of the Ukattah Nkor Abajuo family and Ejighiato Nwamgbede Ukattah, both of Ahaba-Oloko. His father died when he was very young and he had to grow up under his uncle, Chief Mathew Ugoani. He attended Christ the King Primary School in Aba and St. Theresa's School in Okigwe. After a brief spell as a Pupil Teacher, he entered the prestigious St. Charles Teacher Training College in Onitsha, in 1941. He qualified as a Higher Elementary Teacher in 1944 and passed the Senior Teachers' Examination in History in 1948.

Career
After he left St. Charles Teacher Training College in 1944, he was sent to Holy Cross School, Uturu – Isuikwuato, in 1946, as a Certificated Teacher, for his first teaching assignment. From 1946 to 1950, he was the Headmaster of St. Patrick's School Ogudu-Asaa in Isuikwuato. In 1951, following his outstanding record at St. Patrick's School, he was posted to head St. Bernard's School, Okigwe. He was later sent to Umuahia, in 1952, as the headmaster of St. Michael's Township School, known then for outstanding results in both academia and sports. He headed St. Michael's Township School, from 1952 to 1959. Between 1960 and 1962, he became the Catholic Mission Inspector General of Education. In 1963, he became Assistant Superintendent of Schools, a position he held until the end of Nigeria Civil War. He retired from active service in 1973. While he was the headmaster of St. Michael's Township School, he was also active in politics and became secretary of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons — the popular political party among Eastern Nigerians at the time. He was elected member of the Federal House of Representatives for Bende Division from 1954 to 1959 and then became a Senator in the upper house of the National Assembly representing Umuahia Province. In 1961, Chief Ukattah acted as Senate President of Nigeria, holding brief for Barrister, Dennis Osadebay. He was appointed leader of a high-powered Nigerian delegation to the Republic of Mexico via the United States in 1963 by then Prime Minister of Nigeria, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, when he, as leader of the delegation, was privileged to have addressed a joint session of the Senate and of the Deputies of the Republic of Mexico. On return, he authored a book titled; "My Trip to Mexico". He also served for many years as a member of the Bende Native Authority, and Bende County Council. He was equally, first Chairman of the defunct Ikwuano County Council, now known as Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State, and for many years, President of both Ikwuano and Oloko Clan Unions.

Later life and death
In the late fifties, he sponsored the education of his youngest brother Ferdinand I. E. Ukattah in Great Britain, where he qualified as a barrister and solicitor in 1960 and was the first Ikwuano and Umuahia indigene to qualify as a lawyer and later, the Chief Judge of Imo and Abia States, of Nigeria.

In 1976 he received a Knighthood of the Order of St. Gregory, from Pope Paul VI. Also, in 1977, he became a Knight of St. Mulumba and until his death in 1996, he was the Grand Knight of the Order of St. Mulumba in Umuahia Catholic Diocese. In 1991, he was appointed a Justice of the Peace by the State Government.

Augmented assignment

Augmented assignment (or compound assignment) is the name given to certain assignment operators in certain programming languages (especially those derived from C). An augmented assignment is generally used to replace a statement where an operator takes a variable as one of its arguments and then assigns the result back to the same variable. A simple example is  which is expanded to. Similar constructions are often available for various binary operators.

In general, in languages offering this feature, most operators that can take a variable as one of their arguments and return a result of the same type have an augmented assignment equivalent that assigns the result back to the variable in place, including arithmetic operators, bitshift operators, and bitwise operators.

Discussion
For example, the following statement or some variation of it can be found in many programs:

x = x + 1

This means "find the number stored in the variable x, add 1 to it, and store the result of the addition in the variable x." As simple as this seems, it may have an inefficiency, in that the location of variable x has to be looked up twice if the compiler does not recognize that two parts of the expression are identical: x might be a reference to some array element or other complexity. In comparison, here is the augmented assignment version:

x += 1

With this version, there is no excuse for a compiler failing to generate code that looks up the location of variable x just once, and modifies it in place, if of course the machine code supports such a sequence. For instance, if x is a simple variable, the machine code sequence might be something like Load x  Add   1 Store x and the same code would be generated for both forms. But if there is a special op code, it might be MDM   x,1 meaning "Modify Memory" by adding 1 to x, and an optimizing compiler would generate the same code for both forms. Some machine codes offer INC and DEC operations (to add or subtract one), others might allow constants other than one.

More generally, the form is x ?= expression where the ? stands for some operator (not always +), and there may be no special op codes to help. There is still the possibility that if x is a complicated entity the compiler will be encouraged to avoid duplication in accessing x, and of course, if x is a lengthy name, there will be less typing required. This last was the basis of the similar feature in the ALGOL compilers offered via the Burroughs B6700 systems, using the tilde symbol to stand for the variable being assigned to, so that LongName:=x + sqrt(LongName)*7; would become LongName:=x + sqrt(~)*7; and so forth. This is more general than just  Producing optimum code would remain the province of the compiler.

Semantics
In expression-oriented programming languages such as C, assignment and augmented assignment are expressions, which have a value. This allows their use in complex expressions. However, this can produce sequences of symbols that are difficult to read or understand, and worse, a mistype can easily produce a different sequence of gibberish that although accepted by the compiler does not produce desired results. In other languages, such as Python, assignment and augmented assignment are statements, not expressions, and thus cannot be used in complex expressions. For example, the following is valid C, but not valid Python: As with assignment, in these languages augmented assignment is a form of right-associative assignment.

Unlike in C, the compound assignment expressions of C++ evaluate to an lvalue. Being an lvalue allows it to be written on the left-hand-side of some other assignment statement:

Computed assignment locations
In languages such as C, C++ and Python, an augmented assignment where the assignment location includes function calls, is mandated to only call the functions once. I.e in the statement: The function  is mandated to only be called once.

If a language implements augmented assignment by macro expansion to: Then  is called twice.

C descendants
In C, C++, and C#, the assignment operator is, which is augmented as follows:

Each of these is called a compound assignment operator in said languages.

Supporting languages
The following list, though not complete or all-inclusive, lists some of the major programming languages that support augmented assignment operators.

 * APL
 * AWK
 * C
 * C++
 * C#
 * CFML
 * D
 * Free Pascal (Needs -Sc command line switch)

 * Go
 * Java
 * JavaScript
 * Julia
 * Kotlin
 * Objective-C
 * Perl
 * PHP

 * Python
 * Ruby

The Whistling Gypsy

"The Whistling Gypsy", sometimes known simply as "The Gypsy Rover", is a well-known ballad composed and copyrighted by Dublin songwriter Leo Maguire in the 1950s. There are a number of similar traditional songs about a well-off woman's encounter with Gypsies, dating back at least as far as the early 19th century, known as "The Raggle Taggle Gypsy", "The Raggle Taggle Gypsies", "The Gypsy Laddie", "Nine Yellow Gypsies", "Gypsie Davie" and "Black Jack Davie" (Roud #1, Child 200). The story-line usually revolves around a woman leaving her home and her "wedded lord" to run off with one or more Gypsies, to be pursued by her husband. Dorothy Scarborough's 1937 book A Song Catcher In Southern Mountains: American Folk Songs of British Ancestry includes a lullaby called "Gypsy Davy", which Scarborough collected from two Virginia women who had learned the song from their respective grandmothers who in turn had learned it in Ireland. Scarborough's "Gypsy Davy" has a similar construction to Maguire's song, both in some of the lyrics in the verses and in the "ah dee do" chorus that does not appear in the other aforementioned Gypsy-themed songs. However, in Maguire's song the lady is pursued by her father, and when he catches the pair the "Gypsy" reveals himself to be the "lord of these lands all over".

The song was first recorded by Joe Lynch in Dublin on the Glenside label, which had been set up by Martin Walton in 1952. It was popularised throughout the country by airplay on the Walton's Programme on Radio Éireann, also established by Walton in that year. Another early recording was by Rose Brennan, for HMV in London, in October 1953. In 1954 Rose Brennan's cover was awarded third place by the New Musical Express for the best recording of the year. Later that year it was selected as the title tune for the film The Black Knight, starring Alan Ladd and Patricia Medina. For this purpose it was given new lyrics by Maguire and Elton Hayes, who sang it in the film.

Since then it has been recorded by numerous artists, including The Corries (who were at that time known as the Corrie Folk Trio), Carmel Quinn, The Clancy Brothers, The Kingston Trio, The Chad Mitchell Trio, The Highwaymen (who had a minor hit single with the song), The Limeliters, The Seekers, Foster & Allen and The Wiggles.

WCW Bash at the Beach

Bash at the Beach was a yearly professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It was the company's PPV for the month of July, held from 1994–2000. As the title implied, the show centered on a beach theme.

Due to its beach theme, the stage where wrestlers made their entrances was decorated with beach related items, such as surfboards and sand. The beach theme lended to its summer scheduling of July. The theme was also reflected in the places where WCW chose to hold the event; all of the shows emanated from cities in either Florida or California, two U.S. states renowned for their warm weather. It was WCW's response to the World Wrestling Federation's SummerSlam.

History
In 1992 and 1993, World Championship Wrestling (WCW) held a beach-themed pay-per-view show known as Beach Blast, which was the forerunner to Bash at the Beach. The 1992 show was held in June, however, as the company elected instead to reserve July for its flagship summertime extravaganza, The Great American Bash. Along with Slamboree, Starrcade, SuperBrawl, The Great American Bash, and Halloween Havoc, Bash at the Beach was booked to be one of WCW's flagship events.

Bash at the Beach marked three major turning points during Hulk Hogan's career. During 1994 Hogan made his WCW in-ring debut defeating Ric Flair to win his first WCW World Heavyweight Championship. During the 1996 event, Hogan turned heel, as he was revealed to be the third member for the New World Order, leading to WCW overtaking the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) for nearly two years as the top professional wrestling company in the world. The 2000 event was Hogan's final appearance for the company, wherein he defeated Jeff Jarrett for the WCW Championship, but was soon thereafter stripped of the title and was fired on-air by Vince Russo in events which led to litigation between Hogan and WCW, and a series of events whose authenticity are to this day under question.

To promote the 1995 event, Hogan, Randy Savage, Ric Flair, Big Van Vader, and Kevin Sullivan guest starred on season 6 episode 15 of Baywatch, also titled "Bash at the Beach".

Legacy
In March 2001, the WWF acquired WCW and the majority of its assets, which included all of its championships and the intellectual properties for all of their PPVs; the following year, the WWF was renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Although WWE revived some of WCW's old PPVs over the years, such as The Great American Bash, Bash at the Beach was never one that was reused by WWE. However, in 2014, all of WCW's Bash at the Beach pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network streaming service.

WWE left the Bash at the Beach trademark to expire in 2004/2005 after their purchase of WCW. Cody Rhodes, executive vice president for All Elite Wrestling (AEW), a promotion that was founded in January 2019, trademarked the name in early 2019 for use in the company as it was created by his father, Dusty Rhodes. AEW Bash at the Beach, which was held as a two-part special of AEW's flagship program, Dynamite, took place on January 15, 2020 and continued with Chris Jericho's Rock 'N' Wrestling Rager at Sea on January 22. In August of that year, Cody's trademark was officially denied by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. By November of that year, a settlement was reached between Cody Rhodes and WWE in which Cody gained the "Cody Rhodes" trademark, which WWE had held onto after his run in that company, in exchange for WWE gaining the WCW event name trademarks that Cody had claimed, including Bash at the Beach.

Coccidia

Coccidia (Coccidiasina) are a subclass of microscopic, spore-forming, single-celled obligate intracellular parasites belonging to the apicomplexan class Conoidasida. As obligate intracellular parasites, they must live and reproduce within an animal cell. Coccidian parasites infect the intestinal tracts of animals, and are the largest group of apicomplexan protozoa.

Infection with these parasites is known as coccidiosis. Coccidia can infect all mammals, some birds, some fish, some reptiles, and some amphibians. Most species of coccidia are species-specific in their host. An exception is Toxoplasma gondii, which can infect all mammals, although it can only undergo sexual reproduction in cats. Depending on the species of coccidia, infection can cause fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, and nervous system effects and changes to behavior, and may lead to death. Healthy adults may recover without medication—but those who are immunocompromised or young almost certainly require medication to prevent death. Humans generally become infected by eating under-cooked meat, but can contract infection with T. gondii by poor hygiene when handling cat waste.

Taxonomy
The class is divided into four orders, which are distinguished by the presence or absence of various asexual and sexual stages:

 * Order Agamococcidiorida Levine-1979
 * Order Eucoccidiorida Léger & Duboscq-1910
 * Order Ixorheorida Levine-1984
 * Order Protococcidiorida Kheisin-1956

The order Eucoccidiorida is divided into two suborders. These two groups differ in their sexual development: syzygy for Adeleorina and independent gametes for Eimeriorina.

The first suborder, Adeleorina, comprises coccidia of invertebrates and the coccidia that alternate between blood-sucking invertebrates and various vertebrates; this group includes Haemogregarina and Hepatozoon. There are seven families in this suborder.

The second suborder, Eimeriorina, comprises a variety of coccidia, many of which form cysts. A number of genera, including Toxoplasma and Sarcocystis, infect vertebrates.

Transmission
Infected animals spread spores called oocysts in their stool. The oocysts mature, called sporulation. When another animal passes over the location where the feces were deposited, it may pick up the spores, which it then ingests when grooming itself. Mice may ingest the spores and become infected. When another animal eats the mouse, it becomes infected.

Some species of coccidia are transmissible to humans, including toxoplasma and cryptosporidium.

Infection
Inside the host, the sporulated oocyst opens, and eight sporozoites are released. Each one finds a home in an intestinal cell and starts the process of reproduction. These offspring are called merozoites. When the cell is stuffed full of merozoites, it bursts open, and each merozoite finds its own intestinal cell to continue the cycle.

Symptoms of infection
As the infection continues, millions of intestinal cells may become infected. As they break open, they produce a bloody, watery diarrhea. This can cause dehydration, and can lead to death in young or small pets. Coccidian infections display symptoms mainly from the digestive tract including diarrhea, inflammation, intestinal pain or damage, vomiting, and irregular nutrition. These can lead to weight loss or reduced growth development, anemia, exhaustion, and even death in severe cases.

Diagnosis and treatment
Coccidiosis can be diagnosed by finding oocysts in fecal smears. In early stages of the disease, there may be very few oocysts being shed, and a negative test does not rule out the disease.

Coccidiosis is most commonly treated through the administration of coccidiostats, a group of medications that stop coccidia from reproducing. In dogs and cats, the most commonly administered coccidiostat is sulfa-based antibiotics. Once reproduction stops, the animal can usually recover on its own, a process that can take a few weeks, depending on the severity of the infection and the strength of the animal's immune system.

Ed McCurdy

Edward Potts McCurdy (January 11, 1919 – March 23, 2000) was an American folk singer and songwriter. His most well-known song was the anti-war "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream", written in 1950.

Career
Born to a farming family in Willow Hill, Pennsylvania, McCurdy left home at 18 to pursue a singing career. He first found success in 1938 as a singer and disc jockey at a gospel radio station in Oklahoma. By the early 1940s, McCurdy had become a popular singer of romantic songs in nightclubs across North America, until vaudeville dancer Sally Rand caught his act, hired him to join her show, put him in a tuxedo, and had him sing his romantic songs to her on stage while pushing her on her swing.

He stayed in vaudeville for several years as a singer and straight man to comedian (Fat) Jack E. Leonard, before moving in 1948, with his Canadian dancer wife and family, to Vancouver where he hosted his own radio show for CBC Radio. With the success of this show, the CBC transferred him to the flagship national station in Toronto where he starred in a morning children's show and an adult evening show. During his Canadian radio period, he developed friendships with the guests on his show, such as Pete Seeger, Lena Horne, Josh White, Oscar Peterson, and Oscar Brand. He developed a love for folk music and released his first folk album in 1949.

After achieving success with his folk show at New York's Village Vanguard in 1950, McCurdy and his family moved to New York City, from where he went on to become one of the world's best-known folk singers. He also became the "L&M Cigarette Man" on television, was an emcee for the George Gobel Show (national TV), and by 1956, was star of the children's TV show Freddie The Fireman.

He recorded many albums in the 1950s and 1960s for Elektra Records and Tradition Records, performed several times at the Newport Folk Festival, and was a well-known folk music artist throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, developing friendships with the younger folk set of Odetta, Bob Gibson, Erik Darling, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Josh White Jr.

His widely covered anti-war song, "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream", has been recorded in seventy-six languages (including covers by The Weavers in 1960, the Chad Mitchell Trio in 1962, Simon & Garfunkel in 1964, Cornelis Vreeswijk in 1964 (in Swedish), Hannes Wader in 1979 (in German), Johnny Cash in 2003, Garth Brooks in 2005, Serena Ryder in 2006, and Charles Lloyd in 2016). The melody is included in Francesco de Gregori's "Via della poverta".

In November 1989, as Tom Brokaw stood on top of the Berlin Wall, he directed his NBC-TV cameras towards the school children on the East German side of the Berlin Wall, to show the children singing "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" en masse as the wall was being dismantled.

His collection of risqué Elizabethan folk songs in a three-part series of albums titled When Dalliance was in Flower (and Maidens Lost Their Heads), became a favorite record series on college campuses. The actor Alan Arkin played with him on these recordings. His single "Miracle of the Wheat" released on Kapp Records in 1956 became a Christmas Tradition on Cincinnati Radio, played annually on WKRC-AM by broadcaster Stan Matlock.

By the late 1960s, McCurdy was forced to retire with health problems. In 1980, two of his compositions, "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream" and "King's Highway", as recorded by his old friend Josh White Jr., became the official theme songs for the Peace Corps and VISTA, respectively.

In the mid 1980s, he and his wife Beryl moved to Nova Scotia, where he enjoyed a second career as a character actor on Canadian television.

He was awarded the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience award September 26, 1992 for "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream".

Tegan Jovanka

Tegan Jovanka is a fictional character played by Janet Fielding in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. An Australian airline stewardess and a native of Brisbane who was a companion of the Fourth and Fifth Doctors, she was a regular in the programme from 1981 to 1984. Tegan appeared in 20 stories (65 episodes).

According to producer John Nathan-Turner, when he was thinking of a name for the character, it was either going to be Tegan, after his partner's niece in Australia, or Jovanka, after Jovanka Broz, the widow of Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito, so he wrote both down on a piece of paper. Script editor Christopher H. Bidmead mistakenly believed that Jovanka was the character's last name rather than an alternative, and so christened her Tegan Jovanka.

Character history
Tegan first appears in the Fourth Doctor's last serial, Logopolis. En route to Heathrow Airport to start her new job as a stewardess with Air Australia, her aunt Vanessa's vehicle (in which she is riding) suffers a flat tyre. Tegan enters a roadside police box to seek help, not knowing that it is actually the Doctor's disguised TARDIS. She is present when the Fourth Doctor falls from the Pharos Project radio telescope and regenerates into his fifth incarnation, and continues to journey with the Doctor and his other companions. She travels with the Doctor initially because her aunt was killed by the Master, although she still wants to get to Heathrow Airport to start her new job, as soon as the Doctor can get her there.

Tegan is stubborn, loud, and direct, with a no-nonsense manner and not afraid to speak her mind (in Earthshock she describes herself as "just a mouth on legs"). Her time in the TARDIS coincides with that of Adric, Nyssa, Turlough and Kamelion. While she often bickers with them (particularly with Adric) as well as with the Doctor, her strength of character keeps them together and her loyalty and affection to her crewmates is unquestionable. She is close to Nyssa, and is especially saddened at her leaving. She is initially very suspicious of Turlough, frequently referring to him as a "brat" at first, though they gradually become friends. The Doctor notes that she is a good coordinator, and often encourages her with the words, "Brave heart, Tegan." She is apparently able to speak at least one Indigenous Australian language fluently, and shows an ability to use firearms.

Despite her strong front, however, her adventures with the Doctor, both thrilling and terrifying, eventually take a psychological toll. She is deeply upset by the death of Adric in Earthshock. After being left behind in Heathrow due to a misunderstanding at the end of Time-Flight, she returns to the TARDIS in the next adventure Arc of Infinity, which is set about a year later in Earth time (Although the Doctor and Nyssa have been depicted having several adventures in that time frame in the audio adventures). During that period, Tegan had worked as a stewardess, but had been subsequently fired. Soon after, she is once again possessed by the alien intelligence known as the Mara. Eventually, the carnage surrounding the events of Resurrection of the Daleks proves too much and she bids an emotional good-bye to both the Doctor and Turlough in 1984 London.

Tegan Jovanka is one of the few companions of the classic series to be seen to have an extended family. She had an Australian aunt in the UK named Vanessa (Dolore Whiteman). In Logopolis it is said that Tegan's father owned an Australian farm. Tegan's English maternal grandfather Andrew Verney (Frederick Hall) was a local historian who had a cottage in the English village of Little Hodcombe in The Awakening, and her cousin Colin Frazer (Alastair Cumming) lived in Brisbane but was terrorised by Omega whilst back-packing in Amsterdam during Arc of Infinity.

Tegan appeared in "The Power of the Doctor" celebrating the BBC Centenary, alongside the returning former companion Ace and the Thirteenth Doctor portrayed by Jodie Whittaker in her final outing as The Doctor.

Other mentions
An illusory image of Tegan is seen during the Fifth Doctor's regeneration into the Sixth in The Caves of Androzani (1984).

In The Twin Dilemma and Attack of the Cybermen (1985), The Sixth Doctor calls his companion Peri 'Tegan', which leads into Peri telling the Doctor that he has called her 'Tegan' amongst many other names.

In the 2007 Children in Need special episode "Time Crash", the Tenth Doctor asks his fifth incarnation if he is still travelling with Tegan in his own relative timeline.

In The Sarah Jane Adventures two-parter Death of the Doctor (2010), Tegan is mentioned as having campaigned for the rights of Indigenous Australians.

In "The Crimson Horror" (2013), the Eleventh Doctor tells Clara Oswald that he spent a long time trying to get a "gobby Australian" to Heathrow Airports. A scream is then heard, and he says "Brave heart, Clara."

A 2020 short published to the official Doctor Who YouTube channel and titled Farewell, Sarah Jane, written by former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies, revealed that Tegan was in a relationship with fellow traveller Nyssa.

Other appearances
Fielding reprised the role in a 1985 sketch ("A Fix with Sontarans") for the children's show Jim'll Fix It alongside Colin Baker as the Sixth Doctor. This sketch suggests Tegan returns to the life of a flight attendant and has also frosted her hair blonde, before being accidentally returned to the TARDIS by the Sixth Doctor.

Tegan's life after journeying with the Doctor is investigated in the Big Finish Productions 2006 audio drama The Gathering. Although she finds it difficult to enter into relationships and is suffering from a terminal illness, she tells the Doctor that she has no regrets about her time with him, and now appreciates her life to the full.

The spin-off fiction suggests that she was briefly married to pop star Johnny Chester (also known as Johnny Chess), the son of the First Doctor's companions Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright. In the spin-off short story "Good Companions" by Peter Anghelides Tegan has suffered a nervous breakdown and convinced herself that her time with the Doctor was a delusion.

In the promotional video for the season 19 Blu-ray box set, Fielding reprised her role as Tegan, this time appearing as the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Jovanka Airlines, parodying flight take off instructions for passengers once they have boarded, with Peter Davison and Sarah Sutton playing the passengers.

Mazyr

Mazyr or Mozyr (Мазыр, ; Мозырь, ; Mozyrz; מאזיר) is a city in Gomel Region, Belarus. It serves as the administrative center of Mazyr District. It is situated on the Pripyat River about 210 km east of Pinsk and 100 km northwest of Chernobyl in Ukraine. As of 2024, it has a population of 105,152.

Mazyr is known as a center of oil refining, salt extraction, machine building, and food processing in Belarus. It is home to one of the largest oil refineries in Belarus, pumping out 18 million metric tons per year, and is served by a tram line. The Druzhba pipeline carries crude oil from Russia, splitting in two at Mazyr. One pipeline branch is directed into Poland and the other one to Ukraine.

History
The city was mentioned in 1155.

It was a county seat in the Mińsk Voivodeship of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth until the Partitions of Poland. In the 18th century, Baroque monasteries and churches of Cistercian monks and nuns were established. At various times, the 2nd and 3rd Lithuanian Vanguard Regiments were stationed there.

During the Partitions of Poland, the city was annexed by Russia, within which it was administratively part of the Minsk Governorate. The city was subjected to Russification policies. In the 19th century both Cistercian monasteries were closed down. The women's convent was converted into an Orthodox monastery, while the men's monastery was planned to be demolished, but the plan was abandoned as it served as a shelter for Jews after a city fire. Two annual fairs were held in the city in the late 19th century. During the Polish–Soviet War, on March 4, 1920, the town was captured by the Poles, but later on it fell to the Soviets.

During World War II, the German occupiers operated a Nazi prison in the town.

The city has suffered radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl disaster.

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Cistercian churches were restored to the Catholics.

Jewish community
Jews were first mentioned in chronicles in the second half of the 17th century. It is known that there were three synagogues in the city as of 1856. R. Kugel, a prominent Jewish community figure, had been the chief Rabbi of Mazyr since 1861. He was also the head of the local Jewish literacy school.

During this period Jews were mostly engaged in craftsmanship and trading. Part of Mazyr's industry, the match factory and the wood sawing factory were owned by Jews.

There were eight active synagogues, a yeshiva, Jewish school and Talmud-Torah school in the wake of the 20th century. All of the facilities had been closed down by 1939.

Thousands of Jews were executed by German troops in the local ghetto during World War II. After the mass execution, almost no Jews remained in the city, whereas before the war 30% of the population within the city was Jewish. On August 31, 1941, hundreds of Jews gathered inside a house at Malo-Pushkin street. They poured kerosene on the building walls and set it alight, while the people huddled inside. The mass suicide was an attempt to escape execution by the Germans. The incident is known as the "Belarusian Masada".

After the war some Jews returned to Mazyr. Although they refused to take back the partially-destroyed synagogue building, an official Jewish community was registered in 1946. A few years later, authorities denied the organization's right to exist. The community organization was re-established officially in 1989, when a revival began in the city. A synagogue and a Jewish culture club were opened.

Transport
Mazyr has a tram service, which commenced operation on 1 August 1988. The line starts at the tram depot and terminates at the oil refinery, with four turning loops located along the route. It is designed to server Mazyr Oil Refinery (MNPZ) and is owned by the refinery. Services on the tram line are coordinated with shifts at the refinery; service throughout the day is every 25-95 minutes while during the peaks it is 3-12 minutes, though those services pass suburban stops without stopping. Most passengers are workers, though it also serves residents living near the line. The total length of the line is 20.3 km, with a full trip time of 40 minutes. The line has a high-speed layout, with radius of minimum 400 meters. There were plans for a second tram line, but this has not come to fruition. The rolling stock is mainly 71-605 and its derivative vehicles. VD Bolshoi Bokov airfield is located 4 mi south of Mazyr and was used by Russian military aircraft during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Carmen Jovet

Carmen Jovet Esteves (born June 9, 1944) is a journalist and the first Puerto Rican woman news anchor in Puerto Rico.

Early years
Carmen Jovet Esteves, daughter of Manolín Jovet-Viruet and Doña Carmen "Cuca" Esteves, was born and raised in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico into a family where having a good education was important. She was considered a gifted child and quickly advanced in school. She started making speeches when she was 6 years old, first appeared on radio at the age of 7 with radio personality Pedro Ojeda on WPRA-AM in Mayagüez, and by time she was 12, she was a competent orator. She enjoyed participating in her school's extracurricular activities. She was a member of various academic groups including the school's drama club.

Jovet graduated from high school when she was 14 years old and enrolled in the University of Puerto Rico on a scholarship. When she was 17, she graduated with honors with a bachelor's degree in Political Sciences.

Career
Jovet's first job was at "WIPR" Channel 6, where she hosted a program called "Club Seis" and later a program called "Fabrica del Arte". In 1968, Jovet caught the attention of Leopoldo Santiago Lavandero, who invited her to join his production "Panorama Mundial" as a reporter, at the same Channel. A few years later she was offered the position of anchor for "El Once en la Noticias" at Channel 11 and thus became the first Puerto Rican woman news anchor on the island.

In 1975, Jovet founded her own independent production company and became the host of a show which investigated and interviewed public figures. Among those interviewed was the President of Venezuela Carlos Andrés Pérez. She also covered the arrest of Puerto Rican actress Lydia Echevarría.

Jovet hosted the TV show Sabado en Grande (Big Saturday) for a short time before joining Channel 2, where she hosted her own show, "Carmen Jovet, Controversial", a talk show in which the public was encouraged to participate.

In the 1980s, she hosted a daily television broadcast that followed the adjournment of the day's Puerto Rico Senate public hearing about the controversial Cerro Maravilla incidents on July 25, 1978. By 1981 she was the news director of WKBM, Channel 11. In 1989 she was noted by the New York Times as being one of Puerto Rico's most popular television personalities, a sentiment echoed by the New York Daily News in 1991.

In 1987, The Governor of Puerto Rico Rafael Hernández Colón, named Jovet as the official coordinator in charge of the official state visit of the King and Queen of Spain. In 1992, she was named the Director of Communications of the Commission in charge of the 5th Centennial Celebration of the encounter of the Two Worlds. She was the host of a program called Ahora Podemos Hablar, transmitted through Telemundo TV.

Recognitions
Among the many recognitions bestowed upon her are:
 * The title of "Lady Television" by the Superior Council of Art;
 * The Order of Duarte Horsemen, Sanchez and Mella by the President of the Dominican Republic Joaquín Balaguer;
 * The José de Diego Award from the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture
 * "Doctorate Honoris Causa" in Criminal Justice from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City.

However, perhaps her greatest recognition is the fact that she's known universally in Puerto Rico as La Mujer Noticia.

Currently
Carmen Jovet is currently active as a radio commentator, hosting her own radio talk/news show on NotiUno radio network - 630AM from 10:00 AM until noon. Besides her career as a journalist, Jovet was an occasional actress and had a small role in the 1989 film Brenda Starr starring Brooke Shields.

In the aftermath of the January 12, 2010 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince, Haiti, Puerto Rico, then-Governor Luis Fortuño asked her to coordinate a telethon to benefit the Red Cross's Haitian relief efforts. The Telethon raised over $3.3 million. In preparation for the telethon, Jovet, along with Puerto Rico Secretary of State and Lieutenant Governor Kenneth McClintock, travelled to Haiti and met and interviewed then-President René Préval, Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive and First Lady Elisabeth Delatour Préval.

She held a one-hour weekly interview program, "Ahora Podemos Hablar", on WIPR-TV, Puerto Rico's public television station, on Sunday prime time. After the death of Carlos Mamery late in 2014, Jovet signed with WAPA-America to substitute him on their show, "Lo Sé Todo", where she is now a political analyst.
