"International Baccalaureate Programme". An internationally recognized program for academically gifted high school students. Similar to AP, however some may argue that it is more challenging and more unified. This program has special requirements for the students and to get the "IB Diploma," a student must be taking enough HL and SL courses chosen from 6 different categories. In addition, each student must take Theory of Knowledge (TOK) and complete the Extended Essay. Students enrolled in this program will generally be accepted into difficult colleges because they are impressed by the super sacred IB seal that will be attached to the first page of the student's transcript.

Usually we use the term "austerity program" when the government in question has to backtrack on its ideological commitments. An example of this is France, after June 1982. The Socialist government of Mitterrand had just implemented a raft of major new social welfare programs, and was promptly forced to cut everything back when the deficit ballooned.

Get the Rectal Enlargement Programs mug.Despite the belief, that some programming language is always the best choice, it's not. I can't make C++ write a website, or make JavaScript to build a open world 3D game, so stop the debate. If your goal is to work for a small company then JAVA or C# is your best bet. If you want to design games and media then learn C++. If you want to work for a big Fortune 100 company or for the government then learn COBOL. If you are interested in computer science and want to write utilities, operating systems, or compilers then choose C or assembly language.
