Under these programs, the CCC guarantees payments due from foreign banks—typically, 98% of principal and a portion of interest at an adjustable rate. Because repayment is guaranteed, U.S. financial institutions can offer credit on competitive terms to foreign banks, usually with interest rates based on the LIBOR. (GSM-102/103).

Battle of Ilipa
The Battle of Ilipa (/ˈɪlɪpə/) was an engagement considered by many as Scipio Africanus's most brilliant victory in his military career during the Second Punic War in 206 BC. It may have taken place on a plain east of Alcalá del Río, Seville, Spain, near the village of Esquivel, the site of the Carthaginian camp.

Though it may not seem to be as original as Hannibal's tactic at Cannae, Scipio's pre-battle maneuver and his reverse Cannae formation stands as the acme of his tactical ability, in which he permanently broke the Carthaginian hold in Iberia, thus denying any further land invasion into Italy and cutting off a rich base for the Barca dynasty both in silver and manpower.

Pecos Bill
Pecos Bill (/ˈpeɪkəs/ PAY-kəs) is a fictional cowboy and folk hero in stories set during American westward expansion into the Southwest of Texas, New Mexico, Southern California, and Arizona. These narratives were invented as short stories by Tex O'Reilly in the early 20th century and are an example of American "fakelore". Pecos Bill was a late addition to the larger-than-life characters, such as Paul Bunyan or John Henry.

The origin story of the character depicts him as a feral child who was raised by a pack of coyotes. Years later, his long-lost brother convinces Bill that  he is not a real coyote. In some tales concerning his final fate, Pecos and his love interest Slue-Foot Sue supposedly end up on the Moon, apparently never to return. In the animated film adaptation Melody Time, Sue alone is stranded on the Moon. A disheartened Bill then leaves civilization to rejoin the coyotes, who start howling at the Moon in honor of Bill's sorrow for Sue.

Invented tradition
Invented traditions are cultural practices that are presented or perceived as traditional, arising from people starting in the distant past, but which are relatively recent and often consciously invented by historical actors. The concept was highlighted in the 1983 book The Invention of Tradition, edited by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger. Hobsbawm's introduction argues that many "traditions" which "appear or claim to be old are often quite recent in origin and sometimes invented." This "invention" is distinguished from "starting" or "initiating" a tradition that does not then claim to be old. The phenomenon is particularly clear in the modern development of the nation and of nationalism, creating a national identity promoting national unity, and legitimising certain institutions or cultural practices.
