An Associate degree is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting two years. It is considered to be greater level of education than a high school diploma or GED but less than a Bachelor's degree.
The Foundation degree in the United KingdomDiploma of Higher Education (DipHE) in Scotland and the Higher Certificate in the Republic of Ireland can be considered European equivalents of associate degrees. These programs are mainly provided through affiliated colleges at universities.
In 2004, Australia added "associate degree" to the Australian Qualifications Framework. This title was given to more academically focused advanced diploma courses. However, very few courses yet use the new title.
In the Netherlands, there were four pilots between 2005 and 2011 to assess the added value of the associate degree. In 2011 the associate degree has been added to the Dutch system of higher education as a means to close the gap with the vocational education system.

The Affectionate Punch is the debut studio album by Scottish post-punk/new wave band The Associates. It was released on 1 August 1980 by record label Fiction.
The Affectionate Punch was released on 1 August 1980. Michael Dempsey and John Murphy featured in promotional shots and the accompanying tour but did not perform on the record.
"The Affectionate Punch" and "Would I... Bounce Back" were released as singles to little commercial success.
The album was remixed and re-released in 1982 by order of The Associates' new record company Warner Bros. Records. The remixed record retained all the old tracks but was given typical '80s production values such as new synthesizers as well as some re-recorded vocals by Billy Mackenzie. Both Mackenzie and Rankine expressed dissatisfaction with the results. For years this was the only version available on CD, as the master tapes for the original had been lost. However, a duplicate was later found and the album was reissued by Virgin Records in 2005.

Chorus:
Why not come to Christ,
Why not make a great sacrifice
You've been wondering down in your mind,
Is this really the right time, yes, it is;
Why not come to Christ
Vamp:
He's waiting on you,
Whatcha' gonna do'
Ending:
You've been wondering down in your mind,
Is this really the right time, yes, it is;
