Austria has rejected the asylum application of an Afghan claiming to be gay because he did not "act" or "dress" like a homosexual, according to a media report.
An official in Lower Austria state found no grounds for fear of persecution based on the sexual orientation of the 18-year-old, the Falter weekly newspaper reported.
"The way you walk, act or dress does not show even in the slightest that you could be homosexual," the official reportedly wrote in his assessment rejecting the claim.
The official also found "potential for aggression" which "wouldn't be expected from a homosexual", because the man fought with others in the charity accommodation that houses them.
There will be no trade war between the US and China, and more financial coordination is needed to ensure a stable economic recovery, presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich told RT ahead of the G20 summit in South Korea.
“The US and China are so interconnected. Any actions that may lead to a major trade war could worsen the situation in each country. So, most likely, they will find a compromise,” Dvorkovich said.
The US Federal Reserve has recently come under criticism for increasing its monetary mass, which critics say may lead to imbalance of currency exchange rates. Dvorkovich says it is a risk, but the trend itself is natural.
As for the collapse of the dollar, Dvorkovich believes no one should expect that.
Speaking about the upcoming summit’s agenda, Dvorkovich said that the discussion points at G20 summits have already become tradition, with the leaders looking at macroeconomic imbalances and how to coordinate anti-crisis and overall macroeconomic policies.
“This time sole leaders will probably focus on the issues related to the international monetary system, currency markets and instabilities that can be created by the recent decisions to expand monetary mission in the US and potential protectionist measures in other countries to make sure that national currency markets are stable,” he said.
Dvorkovich added that the G20 summits will gradually move to a long-term agenda.
“It is happening already but it will take time. It is still a developing format,” Dvorkovich said.
As for Russia, it wants a more coordinated approach from its partners, he said.
“We don’t need surprises from our partners. We want a more intensive policy dialog between central banks and finance ministries. This can lead to a greater stability on the markets. Also we believe that we should pay more attention to issues connected with energy security, which is our traditional area of concern,” Dvorkovich said.
Apple may rule the roost when it comes to the MP3 player market, but that hasn't stopped Creative Labs offering good player after good player as an alternative.
Its latest, simply called the Creative Zen is a credit-card sized player ready to take on the nano. So does it?
When Creative say credit-card sized, Creative really mean it. The little player (measuring just 55 x 83 x 12mm) boasts a 16.7 million colour 2.5-inch colour screen and will be available in models with 4, 8 or 16GB storage.
Somehow amongst the screen, which is the same size as the Apple iPod, has a series of buttons down the side and an SD card slot for further expansion.
A particularly format friendly device, the new Zen will happily play music in AAC format (so it will play DRM-fee iTunes offerings), MP3 and WMA and likes tunes from subscription services such as Napster.
On the video front it will play video in 320 x 240 resolution straight from MPEG4, DivX, XviD and WMV formats, with software provided to auto convert other video files if you need to.
Failing all that, there is also a built-in FM radio with 32 station presets (something the iPods still lack), a voice recorder, and a personal organiser, which can synchronise contacts, to do lists, and calendars with Microsoft Outlook.
In use and the interface, which is virtually identical to the Creative Vision:M, is easy to use and the screen is crystal clear. Whether its displaying photos or watching videos you will be impressed. Of course we would still wonder why you would want to watch content on something so small but that's nothing to do with the capabilities of the unit.
So what's it like in the hand? The player is small, but the memory and screen large.
After our brief play in September and now a chance to get some time with the player we are still very impressed. It's a fantastic alternative to the iPod nano and with the SD card expansion slot meaning you can expand the memory actually a great alternative to the 5th generation iPods.
If you aren't an Apple fan, but want a MP3 player to play tunes on the go, this is one of the best options available.
For her designs for Grey Watkins, a New York City textile company she joined in 1986, Ms. Merritt spends several weeks a year studying plants in natural habitats or in botanical gardens. A design to be introduced in 1992 depicts rare orchids hanging in clusters.
She spent part of this summer and last in Hawaii, drawing orchids on Oahu. ''I can always find an individual orchid,'' Ms. Merritt said, ''but I want to see how they grow on a tree.
She reworked the design so that the motif could be repeated on a piece of fabric. For the orchid design, 32 colors were required. The painting took six months and hand engraving, to be done in France, will employ 32 color plates and take nine months.
Ms. Merritt, whose real name is Susan Webb, grew up in Lincoln City, Ore. She received a master's degree in painting and set design from the Chicago Institute of Art and later joined Brunschwig & Fils, where she interpreted antique documents. At Grey Watkins, she uses the name Leslie Merritt to distinguish her work there from her work at Brunschwig.
In 1988 she won a Roscoe Award for the best product design in traditional textiles. The award was given by the Resources Council, a trade organization.
Her fabrics are $90 to $100 a yard at the Grey Watkins showroom at the Decoration and Design Building at 979 Third Avenue near 60th Street.
WatchGuard builds affordable, all-in-one network and content security solutions to provide defense in depth for corporate content, networks and the businesses they power. WatchGuard's award-winning Extensible Threat Management (XTM) network security solutions combine firewall, VPN, and security services to protect networks from spam, viruses, malware, and intrusions.
SEATTLE – December 5, 2018 – WatchGuard Technologies, a leader in advanced network security solutions, today announced version 12.3 of its Fireware® operating system for its Firebox® Unified Security Platform™ appliances. Key to this update are added dynamic path selection capabilities that allow organisations to optimise WAN resources across complex, distributed networks while securing branch locations with a UTM platform focused on defense in depth. SD-WAN implementations are zero-touch, made easy with RapidDeploy, WatchGuard’s centralised deployment solution. Businesses and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can utilise this new SD-WAN functionality to seamlessly upgrade site-based security, improve network efficiency, reduce Internet service costs and unify critical network and security management processes within a single platform.
According to IDC, the SD-WAN market will grow at more than a 40 percent compound annual growth rate until it hits US $4.5B in 2022. As bandwidth requirements and Internet costs continue to grow, businesses naturally want to manage budgets by reducing their reliance on the most expensive connection types. At the same time, organisations need to elevate employee productivity and efficiency with fast, direct access to Cloud applications, and with network performance that supports high quality VoIP and video utilisation. As a result, businesses are turning to hybrid-WAN architectures and SD-WAN technology to help measure and send traffic throughout numerous WAN connections, allowing for the continued optimisation of cost and performance, especially across distributed enterprises.
WatchGuard recognises the need to not only protect branch locations from threats, but to allow organisations to optimise WAN resources with SD-WAN functionality. Capabilities like multi-WAN and policy-based routing, RapidDeploy, and traffic management by application have been available in Firebox appliances for years. With RapidDeploy, organisations can select policies and configurations upfront, so that operationalizing a new SD-WAN deployment at scale is as easy as powering on and connecting each Firebox to the Internet. Now, every active Firebox appliance running Fireware 12.3 can also utilise dynamic path selection to measure the performance of each WAN connection and select the best path for each traffic type based on those pre-configured policies.
A new Professional Services Automation (PSA) integration with Tigerpaw that allows MSPs to better manage their business with actionable data and intelligence.
New geo-location policy actions, which can enable less restrictive rules for policies such as DNS and Mail.
Faster recovery of systems with auto-restore of back-ups from USB connected storage, giving organisations more comprehensive options to restore systems in the event of a failure.
IPv6 Single Sign On updates, which allow companies to see user names rather than IP addresses in their WatchGuard Dimension reports.
WatchGuard® Technologies, Inc. is a global leader in network security, secure Wi-Fi, multi-factor authentication, and network intelligence. The company’s award-winning products and services are trusted around the world by nearly 10,000 security resellers and service providers to protect more than 80,000 customers. The company’s mission is to make enterprise-grade security accessible to companies of all types and sizes through simplicity, making WatchGuard an ideal solution for distributed enterprises and SMBs.

Got leftover beer cans? Of course you do.
Whether you hoarded them as a physical record of collegiate imbibing or just forgot to toss your leftovers in the recycle bin, now is time to do something useful with all that aluminum.
We've rounded up some ways to breathe new life into your old beer cans, ranging from the ridiculously easy to super advanced. Cheers.
It seems the computer likes UTEP, probably more than ever in recent times.
UTEP is now the projected favorite over four of its final six opponents, including Saturday's Homecoming foe, Colorado State.
Saturday's 44-7 win over Tulane (now 136) could have been the catalyst game UTEP never seemed to get in the last four years. But let's not say UTEP has officially turned the corner and is heading up this time of the season instead of down as in the past four straight losing seasons.
Beating Colorado State is a must if UTEP is to have a good season. Putting up a fight vs. So. Miss. (29) in the Sun Bowl is a must, too.
And remember, in November games at UTEP, Coach Mike Price has a 9-18 record. In all his November games at Weber State, Washington State and UTEP, he's 34-60.
That's why the next two week are so important, even though both games are in October. Price has never been able to hold all the huzzah the Miners show early in seasons.
Elf on the Shelf is always keeping its eyes on kids to see if they're being naughty or nice around Christmas, and unfortunately that doesn't stop when kids hit puberty.
Scrabby the elf, played by host Jason Momoa, has been watching Marshall for 13 years, and now he wants a new kid to watch over because Marshall has learned something new he can do with his body, a "solo activity," according to Scrabby. It's not exactly a naughty or nice activity.
The worst part is, Scrabby can't physically look away — Elves on Shelves don't even blink — and Marshall sometimes looks at Scrabby during the act.

SB 2 would require an election when local governments want to collect an additional 2.5 percent or more in tax revenues from existing properties, regardless of the total taxable values assigned to properties. The cap limits the amount of total revenue a local government can rake in without voter approval, even if its tax rate is not increased.
Still, lawmakers of both parties and each chamber — including Bettencourt — admit the 2.5 percent election trigger could be raised as the bill works through the process. In an interview after Monday’s vote, Bettencourt stopped short of saying he’s adamant about the threshold staying at that point. But he said that 6 percent, where the House left the trigger in 2017’s last impasse, is too high to help Texans slow property tax growth.
“Clearly, the lower it is, the better,” he said Monday.
“I’m confident I’m going to do my usual job of working the floor,” he said.
A fiscal note from the Legislative Budget Board estimates that the 2.5 percent threshold would cause cities, counties and special districts across Texas to forgo billions in potential revenue in coming years — but that forecast assumes that no rollback elections would be approved by voters. It also relies on property tax estimates “extrapolated in line with the outlook for growth” in appraised property values.
But Bettencourt repeatedly interrupted her and other local officials. He said he wouldn’t allow officials to spread such “misinformation” at a public hearing.

The weather will be great, so go enjoy a movie outside.

SB 2 would require an election when local governments want to collect an additional 2.5 percent or more in tax revenues from existing properties, regardless of the total taxable values assigned to properties. The cap limits the amount of total revenue a local government can rake in without voter approval, even if its tax rate is not increased.

Still, lawmakers of both parties and each chamber — including Bettencourt — admit the 2.5 percent election trigger could be raised as the bill works through the process. In an interview after Monday’s vote, Bettencourt stopped short of saying he’s adamant about the threshold staying at that point. But he said that 6 percent, where the House left the trigger in 2017’s last impasse, is too high to help Texans slow property tax growth.

“Clearly, the lower it is, the better,” he said Monday.

“I’m confident I’m going to do my usual job of working the floor,” he said.

A fiscal note from the Legislative Budget Board estimates that the 2.5 percent threshold would cause cities, counties and special districts across Texas to forgo billions in potential revenue in coming years — but that forecast assumes that no rollback elections would be approved by voters. It also relies on property tax estimates “extrapolated in line with the outlook for growth” in appraised property values.

But Bettencourt repeatedly interrupted her and other local officials. He said he wouldn’t allow officials to spread such “misinformation” at a public hearing.
