The document discusses three levels of innovation - high level (breakthrough discoveries), mid level (implementation of discoveries), and ground level (context-specific innovations to commercialize products). It argues that while high level innovations are important, sustained prosperity relies on innovations at all levels working together over many years in a complex system. As an example, it outlines the multi-decade process by which the transistor was developed from an initial discovery into a ubiquitous technology through innovations at multiple levels. It concludes that policies should focus on sustaining innovation broadly rather than favoring any particular level or form.
Holidays are days where normal activities are suspended or reduced, often to allow celebration or religious observance. They may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups.

Major religious holidays include Christmas and Easter in Christianity, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in Islam, and Diwali in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. In the UK, public holidays include bank holidays and holidays are not paid but count towards minimum holiday leave. Halloween traditions include trick-or-treating, costumes, carving jack-o-lanterns and telling scary stories.

The SBA sets maximum interest rates for SBA loans based on the loan term and size. Generally, larger loans with shorter repayment terms receive the lowest rates, while smaller loans with longer terms receive the highest rates. The actual interest rate is negotiated between the borrower and lender but cannot exceed SBA maximums. For 7a loans, rates are based on the prime rate plus a spread depending on loan size and term. Fees also apply depending on loan size and term. 504 loans are pegged to Treasury rates. Disaster loans have interest caps of 4-8% depending on available credit. Average SBA rates were 5.3% for variable and 5.8% for fixed loans from 2011-2012
