The Prospectors are back for a fourth season with familiar and new characters, an embarrassment of riches and wild, unpredictable weather. At 14,000 feet above sea level, thereâs 50% less oxygen, twice as many lightning strikes, hurricane force winds and riches just waiting to be found.
National Insurance was introduced after the 1911 National Insurance Act was passed under then Chancellor David Lloyd George. The scheme, which came into effect in July 1912, was intended to create a national system of insurance for working people against illness and unemployment.
Federal deposit insurance became law for commercial banks in 1933 as part of the Glass-Steagall Act, and for S&Ls in 1934. Although a number of state governments had provided deposit insurance before 1933, most state programs had failed and all had been disbanded by then. The federal program was enacted only after long debate.
