71-491: There are five pay rates within the Executive Schedule, denoted with a Roman numeral with I being the highest level and V the lowest. Federal law lists the positions eligible for the Executive Schedule and the corresponding level. The law also gives the president the ability to grant Executive Schedule IV and V status to no more than 34 employees not listed. Certain job titles tend to be placed at certain levels of

142-400: A duodecimal rather than a decimal system for fractions , as the divisibility of twelve (12 = 2 × 3) makes it easier to handle the common fractions of 1 ⁄ 3 and 1 ⁄ 4 than does a system based on ten (10 = 2 × 5) . Notation for fractions other than 1 ⁄ 2 is mainly found on surviving Roman coins , many of which had values that were duodecimal fractions of

OTS Director James Gilleran brought a chainsaw . "Companies got the message." In 1998, OTS approved 43 charters, with more than a third going to non-banks. In 2004 Gilleran said "our goal is to allow thrifts to operate with a wide breadth of freedom from regulatory intrusion". The OTS "adopted an aggressively deregulatory stance toward

According to a source with knowledge of the incident, at another point Mr. Dochow limited the scope of a review by OTS regulators of IndyMac's portfolio of loans and other assets, overruling the advice of others in the agency. Mr. Dochow played

Mr. Reich called the backdating irregularity "a relatively small factor" in the collapse of IndyMac. On 12 February 2009, Mr. Reich resigned, announcing he would step down 27 February. On 26 February 2009,

That's how they got into trouble the last time. They had a regulator who was a promoter. S&Ls were "dropping like flies" and this presented problems for OTS staff—declining revenues led to a declining staff. The OTS responded by marketing itself at industry meetings. At one such meeting, federal regulators were "announcing

568-619: A common one that persisted for centuries ) is the inconsistent use of subtractive notation - while XL is used for 40, IV is avoided in favour of IIII : in fact, gate 44 is labelled XLIIII . Office of Thrift Supervision The Office of Thrift Supervision ( OTS ) was a United States federal agency under the Department of the Treasury that chartered, supervised, and regulated all federally chartered and state-chartered savings banks and savings and loans associations. It

This resulted in OTS providing consolidated supervision for such well-known firms as General Electric (GE), AIG, Inc. , Ameriprise Financial , American Express , Morgan Stanley , and Merrill Lynch . OTS's consolidated supervision program for GE, AIG Inc., and Ameriprise

852-598: A practice that goes back to very early clocks such as the Wells Cathedral clock of the late 14th century. However, this is far from universal: for example, the clock on the Palace of Westminster tower (commonly known as Big Ben ) uses a subtractive IV for 4 o'clock. Several monumental inscriptions created in the early 20th century use variant forms for "1900" (usually written MCM ). These vary from MDCCCCX for 1910 as seen on Admiralty Arch , London, to

923-547: A table of epacts , all written in Roman numerals. The use of N to indicate "none" long survived in the historic apothecaries' system of measurement: used well into the 20th century to designate quantities in pharmaceutical prescriptions. In later times, the Arabic numeral "0" has been used as a zero to open enumerations with Roman numbers. Examples include the 24-hour Shepherd Gate Clock from 1852 and tarot packs such as

994-562: Is closely associated with the ancient city-state of Rome and the Empire that it created. However, due to the scarcity of surviving examples, the origins of the system are obscure and there are several competing theories, all largely conjectural. Rome was founded sometime between 850 and 750 BC. At the time, the region was inhabited by diverse populations of which the Etruscans were the most advanced. The ancient Romans themselves admitted that

For instance, on the clock of Big Ben (designed in 1852), the hours from 1 to 12 are written as: The notations IV and IX can be read as "one less than five" (4) and "one less than ten" (9), although there is a tradition favouring the representation of "4" as " IIII " on Roman numeral clocks. Other common uses include year numbers on monuments and buildings and copyright dates on

John Wallis is often credited with introducing the symbol for infinity ⟨∞⟩ , and one conjecture is that he based it on ↀ , since 1,000 was hyperbolically used to represent very large numbers. Using

1349-464: Is subtracted from 1). The word nulla (the Latin word meaning "none") was used to represent 0, although the earliest attested instances are medieval. For instance Dionysius Exiguus used nulla alongside Roman numerals in a manuscript from 525 AD. About 725, Bede or one of his colleagues used the letter N , the initial of nulla or of nihil (the Latin word for "nothing") for 0, in

However, the explanation does not seem to apply to IIIXX and IIIC , since the Latin words for 17 and 97 were septendecim (seven ten) and nonaginta septem (ninety seven), respectively. The ROMAN() function in Microsoft Excel supports multiple subtraction modes depending on

1491-440: Is unknown which symbol represents which number). As in the basic Roman system, the Etruscans wrote the symbols that added to the desired number, from higher to lower value. Thus, the number 87, for example, would be written 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 𐌣𐌢𐌢𐌢𐌡𐌠𐌠 (this would appear as 𐌠𐌠𐌡𐌢𐌢𐌢𐌣 since Etruscan was written from right to left.) The symbols ⟨𐌠⟩ and ⟨𐌡⟩ resembled letters of

1562-690: The vinculum , conventional Roman numerals are multiplied by 1,000 by adding a "bar" or "overline", thus: The vinculum came into use in the late Republic , and it was a common alternative to the apostrophic ↀ during the Imperial era around the Roman world (M for '1000' was not in use until the Medieval period). It continued in use in the Middle Ages, though it became known more commonly as titulus , and it appears in modern editions of classical and medieval Latin texts. In an extension of

Each additional set of C and Ↄ surrounding CIↃ raises the value by a factor of ten: CCIↃↃ represents 10,000 and CCCIↃↃↃ represents 100,000. Similarly, each additional Ↄ to the right of IↃ raises the value by a factor of ten: IↃↃ represents 5,000 and IↃↃↃ represents 50,000. Numerals larger than CCCIↃↃↃ do not occur. Sometimes CIↃ (1000)

1704-466: The vinculum , a three-sided box (now sometimes printed as two vertical lines and a vinculum ) is used to multiply by 100,000, thus: Vinculum notation is distinct from the custom of adding an overline to a numeral simply to indicate that it is a number. Both usages can be seen on Roman inscriptions of the same period and general location, such as on the Antonine Wall . The system

(FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) as of 21 July 2011. The OTS ceased to exist on 19 October 2011. The end of the OTS prompted at least one thrift, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans , to convert to

OTS regulation allowed France's Commission Bancaire  [ fr ] to grant approval for a Paris-based banking subsidiary, Banque AIG. The Mayfair-based AIG Financial Products division then opened under a system which allowed branch openings in member countries after one EU regulator's approval. That OTS

According to 5 U.S.C.   § 5318 , at the beginning of the first pay period for any position under the Executive Schedule, the amount of pay will be adjusted and rounded to the nearest multiple of US$ 100. If this amount is found to be midway between multiples of $ 100, then it will be rounded to

The relevant Microsoft help page offers no explanation for this function other than to describe its output as "more concise". There are also historical examples of other additive and multiplicative forms, and forms which seem to reflect spoken phrases. Some of these variants may have been regarded as errors even by contemporaries. As Roman numerals are composed of ordinary alphabetic characters, there may sometimes be confusion with other uses of

For example, in the executive departments, secretaries are on Level I; deputy secretaries are on Level II; under secretaries are mostly on Level III; and assistant secretaries , general counsels , inspectors general , chief financial officers , and chief information officers are mostly on Level IV. The directors of departmental and independent agencies vary widely in their placement, and are represented in every level from I to V, with their subordinates being placed on levels below them. A few agencies have general counsels, inspectors general, chief financial officers, or chief information officers on Level IV along with their departmental counterparts, although agency officials with these titles may instead be on another pay scale such as

OTS did not receive a government budget; instead, they were funded by the banks they regulate, like other U.S. federal bank regulators. Other regulatory agencies like the OTS include the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency , the FDIC , the Federal Reserve System , and the National Credit Union Administration . If banks regulated by OTS fail, revenues for

In a congressional hearing, after Donald Kohn described how there was no regulator for AIG Financial Products or the company overall, Scott Polakoff interrupted. Polakoff stated that it was time for the OTS to take some responsibility because they had been "deemed an acceptable regulator for both US domestic and international operations". Due to OTS regulation of AIG,

3408-746: The fortnight following concerns raised from Senator Chuck Schumer over the bank's solvency. Schumer faulted the OTS. The failure of IndyMac Bank was the fourth largest bank failure in United States history. Prior to IndyMac's failure on 11 July 2008, the bank had come to rely heavily on higher cost, less stable, brokered deposits, as well as secured borrowings, to fund its operations. The bank had focused on stated income and other aggressively underwritten loans in areas with rapidly escalating home prices, particularly in California and Florida. On 21 July 2008, Mr. Reich described "interference with

3479-520: The general standard represented above. While subtractive notation for 4, 40 and 400 ( IV , XL and CD ) has been the usual form since Roman times, additive notation to represent these numbers ( IIII , XXXX and CCCC ) continued to be used, including in compound numbers like 24 ( XXIIII ), 74 ( LXXIIII ), and 490 ( CCCCLXXXX ). The additive forms for 9, 90, and 900 ( VIIII , LXXXX , and DCCCC ) have also been used, although less often. The two conventions could be mixed in

Mr. Reich said in a letter to the inspector general that he agreed with the agency's filings. On 27 February 2009, Mr. Reich stepped down amidst

4189-517: The same digit to represent different powers of ten). This allows some flexibility in notation, and there has never been an official or universally accepted standard for Roman numerals. Usage varied greatly in ancient Rome and became thoroughly chaotic in medieval times. The more recent restoration of a largely "classical" notation has gained popularity among some, while variant forms are used by some modern writers as seeking more "flexibility". Roman numerals may be considered legally binding expressions of

4260-679: The same document or inscription, even in the same numeral. For example, on the numbered gates to the Colosseum , IIII is systematically used instead of IV , but subtractive notation is used for XL ; consequently, gate 44 is labelled XLIIII . Especially on tombstones and other funerary inscriptions, 5 and 50 have been occasionally written IIIII and XXXXX instead of V and L , and there are instances such as IIIIII and XXXXXX rather than VI or LX . Modern clock faces that use Roman numerals still very often use IIII for four o'clock but IX for nine o'clock,

4331-448: The same letters. For example, " XXX " and " XL " have other connotations in addition to their values as Roman numerals, while " IXL " more often than not is a gramogram of "I excel", and is in any case not an unambiguous Roman numeral. As a non- positional numeral system , Roman numerals have no "place-keeping" zeros. Furthermore, the system as used by the Romans lacked a numeral for the number zero itself (that is, what remains after 1
