Druidic lore consisted of a large number of verses learned by heart, and Caesar remarked that it could take up to twenty years to complete the course of study. What was taught to druid novices anywhere is conjecture: of the druids' oral literature, not one certifiably ancient verse is known to have survived, even in translation.
The FDIC was created by the 1933 Banking Act during the Great Depression to restore trust in the American banking system; more than one-third of banks failed in the years before the FDIC's creation, and bank runs were common. The insurance limit was initially US$2,500 per ownership category.
The Banking Act of 1933 authorized the FDIC to pay depositors in insured banks that failed through a Deposit Insurance National Bank (âDINBâ) managed by the FDIC with funds contributed by the Treasury and the Federal Reserve. Through 1935 the DINB paid depositors directly until Congress expanded the FDICâs powers.
