According to the latest statement of the international financial stability board (FSB), the premium for systemic importance will be only 2.0 percentage points instead of 2.5 percentage points, as recently envisaged. This is shown in a table published on monday by the financial stability council.

Currently, only HSBC and jpmorgan are classified in the so-called category 4, which in future will have to hold 2.5 percentage points more capital than other banks. A year ago, the german bank was also classified in this category by the FSB. Now, like citigroup, they fell back into the third group. The building is also home to the british bank barclays and the french bank BNP paribas.

Often it is only a fraction of a second that can change a life. This sentence is often said and written, but in fact it unfolds its cruel force only for those who experience its truth in their own bodies. In the case of manuela hoch, too, the event, the consequences of which have accompanied her for two years, was only the blink of an eye.

Half of the town came – a unique reception for the FT event "at home". Editor josef hofbauer had an easy job moderating the evening, because ebersbach offers enough topics to talk about – from wind power to the west bypass, from youth clubs to club friends. Local councillor wilhelm schmitt (GDG) took advantage of the situation and collected donations for a last plantation. 900 euros were collected in no time at all.
Neunkirchen's mayor heinz richter (G) was also pleased with the good attendance, after being criticized in the town council for the dimensions of the building: "it's great that the room is full to capacity even before the inauguration." His wish: that the church would be just as full on sunday for the festive service.

Documentary film has always had an important place in the cinematic landscape. Commercial successes like michael moore's "fahrenheit 9/11" works or "the journey of the penguins" of the french antarctic explorer luc jacquet made the genre public. But even in the short time of about ten minutes, it succeeds in effectively depicting aspects and actual events. The first role in the documentary film competition at the bamberger kurzfilmtage was a testament to this. "From searching and finding" was the overriding motto of the five cinematic entries.

"One in two" the title already reveals that the protagonists are double personalities. Producer jan mocka and director lilian nix researched the transvestite environment and documented the lives of normal men – and their parallel lives as women. We see the protagonists shopping for shoes and handbags, dive with them into the nightlife of rough metropolises, but also learn about their everyday work during the week. The makers have succeeded in portraying home-made conflicts, the search for living out one's own personality between publicity and privacy, the renunciation of "normality" partnerships, the difficult accord with prejudices.
