"Absolutely I feel it works," Trump told an interviewer about his views on torture. "Have I spoken to people at the top levels and people that have seen it work? I haven't seen it work. But I think it works. Have I spoken to people that feel strongly about it? Absolutely."
Trump's controversial position in support of torture including waterboarding in "black op" sites (secret prisons) goes back to the Roman Catholic Inquisition of the Middle Ages.
In another interview Mr. Trump said he would do "everything within the bounds of what you're allowed to do legally," including considering the use of waterboarding. He said that to deal with the Islamic State, the US needed to "fight fire with fire." Trump said he would discuss the matter with incoming CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary James Mattis.
Republican Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war who Mr. Trump famously said wasn't a "real" war hero because he got caught remarked in a tweet that "@POTUS can sign whatever executive orders he likes, but the law is the law – we're not bringing back torture… I'm very confident it wouldn't stand a day in court if they tried to restore that."
Teresa May, Britain's prime minster says the UK "does not condone torture or inhumane treatment and its close relationship with the United States allows frank exchanges on areas of disagreement."
Sonva Sceats the Director of Policy at Freedom from Torture tweeted Trump and said torture is "morally repugnant." She also said "for survivors of torture to hear the leader of the free world legitimize torture is absolutely devastating."
Mr. Trump campaigned on expanding torture laws, including waterboarding.
Mr. McCain is wrong. Torture will come back in western countries. It's only a matter of time. For "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12.
"The papal church will never relinquish her claim to infallibility. All that she has done in her persecution of those who reject her dogmas, she holds to be right; and would she not repeat the same acts, should the opportunity be presented? Let the restraints now imposed by secular governments be removed, and Rome be re-instated in her former power, and there would speedily be a revival of her tyranny and persecution." Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 4, page 381.
"Protestants are losing the mark of distinction that distinguished them from the world, and they are lessening the distance between themselves and the Roman power. They have turned away their ears from hearing the truth; they have been unwilling to accept light which God shed upon their pathway, and are therefore going into darkness. They speak with contempt of the idea that there will be a revival of the past cruel persecution on the part of Romanists and those who affiliate with them. They do not recognize the fact that the word of God fully predicts such a revival, and will not concede that the people of God in the last days shall suffer persecution, although the Bible says, "The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." Signs of the Times, February 19, 1894.

Epidemiology is a population science that underpins health improvement and health care, and is concerned with the pattern, frequency, trends, and causes of disease. This book teaches its applications to population health research, policy-making, health service planning, health promotion, and clinical care. The book emphasizes concepts and principles. In 10 chapters, the book explains what epidemiology is; illustrates the basis of epidemiology in populations; provides a framework for analysing diseases by time, place, and person; introduces error, bias, and confounding; explains how we move from association to causation; considers the natural history, spectrum, and iceberg of disease in relation to medical screening; discusses the acquisition and analysis of data on incidence and prevalence of risk factors and diseases; shows the ways in which epidemiological data are presented, including relative and absolute risks; provides an integrated overview of study designs and the principles of data analysis; and considers the theoretical and ethical basis of epidemiology both in the past and the future. The emphasis is on interactive learning, with each chapter including learning objectives, theoretical and numerical exercises, questions and answers, and a summary. The text is illustrated, with detailed material in tables. The book is written in plain English, and the necessary technical and specialized terminology is explained and defined in a glossary. The book is for postgraduate courses in epidemiology, public health, and health policy. It is also suitable for clinicians, undergraduate students in medicine, nursing and other health disciplines, and researchers.Less
An Introduction to Population-level Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases
Mike Rayner, Kremlin Wickramasinghe, Julianne Williams, Karen McColl, and Shanthi Mendis (eds)

This book is based on the content covered during the non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention short course at the University of Oxford. It provides theoretical background and 'real life case studies' helping readers to apply the learnings to their day-to-day work. It covers case studies from both high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries. This book is structured around the four stages of the policy cycle: (1) problem definition; (2) solution generation; (3) resource mobilization and implementation; and (4) evaluation. Chapters 2–7 focus on problem definition, which involves understanding the burden of NCDs, its risk factors, the sociopolitical landscape, the role of advocacy, and screening and surveillance. Chapters 8–10 are about solution generation, which involves examining the evidence for potential costs and benefits of interventions, while also considering contextual factors, including the ethical and political dimensions of different solutions. Chapters 11–13 are on implementation and the mobilization of resources, both the money needed for material aspects of the interventions and the people required to plan for and carry out the interventions. Chapter 14 is about evaluation and monitoring, which may be designed to assess whether interventions met their aims and objectives. Given the cyclical nature of the policy cycle, the final chapter is about returning to the various stages. NCD prevention does not always follow the stages of the policy cycle in a strict sequence and often, NCD interventions will need revisiting in light of the experiences and lessons learned from earlier stages.Less

Bearstronaut have always been part of the Vanya family — they were the first band signed to Vanya Records way back in September 2011. Now the dance-pop quartet gets ready to play Boston Calling this weekend — on the Sunday slate with Passion Pit, Kendrick Lamar, and Major Lazer — and to celebrate they've dropped honey-kissed new single "Where I'll Die," complete with a new music video directed by Matt Watkins. It's their first bit of new tunes from the flashy electro-pop gentlemen act since last fall's Paradice EP.
In the "Where I'll Die" clip, the artwork on the walls comes to life, and if you look closely you can find some random dude spitting out one nasty peach. Gross.
Check out the clip above, then download the track via the Bearstronaut soundcloud. And don't forget — enter to win weekend passes to Boston Calling via our festival guide.

Data integration is a technique of combining stored information from different sources in a unified unit. The combination of various stored information into one structure helps an entity to deliver its service to their consumers in a satisfying manner. Therefore, data integration is one of the vital unmentioned parts of a business unit. Below are some of the top data integration trends in 2018.
Cloud storage
Cloud storage is perhaps the most trending data integration of 2018. Integration as a service has gained popularity, and many entities are considering this option. Data integration through the cloud has a couple of benefits that we cannot overlook. First of all, this method is the cheapest since you do not have to own hardware or space. Again integrating via cloud adjusts to your needs of volumes and type of data. Other entities have opted for hybrid integration where you combine both the cloud with on-premises hardware.
E-commerce integration
Online shopping has gained popularity in the recent years. For any business to keep up with the demand, satisfy customers and remain competitive, it has to adapt to this modern trend of an online store. Having an e-commerce business, it means you have to integrate with online payment providers, tax calculation service, social media, marketing software, geo-location, address validation among another service. Connecting with all these stakeholders has made this integration trend gain popularity in 2018.
Application Programming Interface management (API management)
API is an intermediary software that allows two or more software to relate with each other. API management is the process of monitoring APIs, analyzing their usage statistics and reporting on their performance. With many companies embracing cloud data storage in recent years, API management comes in to help integrate the services and software stored in the cloud. This integration enhances proper management and security of the data in the cloud, and thus it's trending in 2018.
Internet of Things
This technology enables connectivity beyond the standard devices such as computers and phone. A company can connect its entire physical hardware such as vehicles and machinery. Connect these physical devices does enable not only service delivery and information sharing in real time, but also the security of equipment. This trend is gaining popularity, and it is estimated that 30 billion devices will be connected by 2020.
There are many more trending data integrations out there, and also the will be many more to come. However, these are the top ones. In case you are still using the old methods, it is essential you consider some of the modern data integration techniques to stay competitive.

1. State – the member variables or fields
2. Defined Behavior – the member functions
3. Defined ways of modifying the state – by the member functions.
What is the purpose of a friend function?
Tells the function that it is a friend and can touch its private parts.
Show how to declare a function, not part of a class, as a friend function.

List and briefly explain four values of bundling programs into objects.
1) Modularity
: The source code for an object can be written and maintained independently of the source code for other objects.
2) Information-hiding**
: By interacting only with an object's methods, the details of its internal implementation remain hidden from the outside world.
3) Code re-use
: If an object already exists (perhaps written by another software developer), you can use that object in your program.
4) Pluggability and debugging ease
: If a particular object turns out to be problematic, you can simply remove it from your application and plug in a different object as its replacement.

// test for value not negative using assert
sqRoot = sqrt(value); // If positive proceed
with the calculation
assert(value >= 0);
Given the following code, fill in the blank with a line which will test for division by zero using the assert test.
double dividend, divisor, quotient;
// code to set value of dividend and divisor is here
// test for zero divisor using assert
assert ___________________;
// If positive proceedwith the calculation
assert(divisor != 0);
Show how you would write a try…catch block in which the value of a char variable, ch, is tested. If it is a digit ('0' … '9') throw and int exception, if it is an upper case letter ('A' – 'Z') throw a char * (character array-string) exception, and for all non-printable characters (ASCII value < 32 or > 127) throw a general exception (…). (Hint: In conditional statements like: if ((ch < 97) || (ch > 'z')) you can test both characters and ASCII values, e.g. if ((ch < 97) || (ch >122)) will both be true if ch is not a lower case letter. 'a' = ASCII 97 and 'z' = ASCII 122)
try {

What is a function prototype and why is it needed?
The purpose of a function prototype is to tell the compiler the correct syntax required to call the function.
Show how to create an overloaded function in a class.
bool MyList::insert(Node *newNode);
bool MyList::insert(list of args giving data to insert into a new Node);
Explain what default arguments to functions are and show how you would declare default values for arguments to a function.
void someFunction(int x=0, double d=1.0, char c='a', long l = 1);
What are virtual functions? Why is it best to make a function in a parent class virtual so that sub-classes have to implement it, i.e. explain early vs. late binding.
Early / Static / Compile time binding
Late / Dynamic / Run time binding

I learned on sunday evening that I now have a new space to continue my wood shop and welding work. As an adjunct lecturer at UNCG, I had all-hours access to the woodshop at the Interior Architecture dept. Now that I am no longer on the lecture roster, I have been searching for a new location to continue my design/build work. Fortunately, a dear friend and former employer has allowed me to use his garage, complete with his assortment of woodworking tools, as a home base for my work. I am thankful indeed.
Press on.

The Communitybuilders loan fund has become a £27m permanently endowed fund controlled by the Adventure Capital Fund, according to Greg Clark, the decentralisation minister.
The ACF is the parent charity of Social Investment Business, which has administered the Communitybuilders fund since it was set up in 2009 with £60m from the Communities and Local Government department and £10m from the Office for Civil Society to support local community projects.
Communitybuilders will become an "evergreen" loan and grant fund, where repayments are recycled into new community investment, said Sir Stephen Bubb, chair of the ACF.
It will provide money for community organisations to buy and develop local assets such as libraries, he said. The fund, currently closed to new applications, is expected to reopen within a few months, a CLG statement said.
The government has previously faced criticism because its rules meant the fund had to pay out grants by the end of each financial year, before many groups were ready to take it.
Clark said this was no longer the case.
"We need to make sure that every penny available goes to voluntary and community groups at the best time for them," he said. "They shouldn't be forced to distort their plans because of central red tape."

What makes the female so much deadlier than the male? With assists from Fran Lebowitz, Nora Ephron, and a recent Stanford-medical-school study, the author investigates the reasons for the humor gap.
Christopher Hitchens
Be your gender what it may, you will certainly have heard the following from a female friend who is enumerating the charms of a new (male) squeeze: "He's really quite cute, and he's kind to my friends, and he knows all kinds of stuff, and he's so funny … " (If you yourself are a guy, and you know the man in question, you will often have said to yourself, "Funny? He wouldn't know a joke if it came served on a bed of lettuce with sauce béarnaise.") However, there is something that you absolutely never hear from a male friend who is hymning his latest (female) love interest: "She's a real honey, has a life of her own … [interlude for attributes that are none of your business] … and, man, does she ever make 'em laugh."
Now, why is this? Why is it the case?, I mean. Why are women, who have the whole male world at their mercy, not funny? Please do not pretend not to know what I am talking about.
( cut for length and for failCollapse )
Source has more. Which is good, because I do enjoy men explaining to me that the fact that I'm pretty means I can't do anything else :D
edit: Soooo old article is old. My b for seeing someone link it and not thinking to doublecheck the date. Still, I'm glad some people who haven't heard of C. Hitchy get to see his opinions and hate him now! He's not good for much else.

text: 'Sun Dogs': Film Review | LAFF 2017 3:33 PM PDT 6/25/2017 by Sheri Linden FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Caviar Winningly droll, and packs an unexpected punch. TWITTER Toplining a cast that includes Melissa Benoist, Xzibit, Allison Janney and Ed O'Neill, Michael Angarano plays a well-meaning but deluded oddball in Jennifer Morrison's directing debut. Jennifer Morrison, the recently departed star of the ABC series Once Upon a Time, segues confidently to the director's chair with Sun Dogs, a comic drama that deftly navigates a tricky line. The story of a mentally challenged young man and his quixotic mission to serve his country could easily have turned cringe-inducing or merely ridiculous. But Michael Angarano, leading an excellent cast, inhabits the role of a single-minded misfit without the slightest hint of mawkishness, embracing his exasperating qualities no less than his endearing ones. Morrison balances her affection for all the characters with droll naturalism and an assured visual style. Working from a screenplay by Anthony Tambakis (whose credits include the Morrison starrer Warrior, and who uses the nom de film Raoul McFarland for the new movie), Morrison has cited Hal Ashby's Being There as a key inspiration. The idea of a sheltered, innocent soul being mistaken for — and becoming — a heroic figure, à la the 1979 film's Chauncey Gardiner, is an essential aspect of Sun Dogs' story, and there's a strong '70s sensibility to the character-driven film. But it also recalls the more recent Lars and the Real Girl with its unforced emphasis on communal support for an oddball. The well-crafted feature, a world-premiere selection of the Los Angeles Film Festival, could parlay its name cast and engaging warmth into art-house exposure. Like many Americans, Angarano's Ned Chipley, who lives with his parents in rural California and does menial work at a casino, was galvanized by the 2001 attacks on the United States. But given his limited intellectual capacities — explained with just a few words, late in the proceedings — his goal of becoming a Marine is a delusion, albeit one that charms more people than it offends. Ned's mother, Rose (Allison Janney), a nurse who once dreamed of a life in New York City, gently encourages his sense of purpose, to the frustration of his cranky stepfather, Bob (Ed O'Neill), a trucker who feels adrift as he awaits a hoped-for insurance payout for a road accident. On his birthday in 2004, Ned takes the bus through picturesque mountains to San Diego for his annual attempt to enlist in the Marines. His anti-terrorist fervor is a familiar source of fond amusement at the recruitment center (where Morrison cameos winningly as the Marine at the front desk). But the new master sergeant, Jenkins (Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner, pitch-perfect), is unprepared for Ned's talking points, manually typed out on index cards, and his gung-ho announcement that, "I have field readiness." Wanting to let the kid down easy, Jenkins convinces him to focus his attentions on the home front as a "special operative," not understanding the obsessive investigations this diversion will prompt. In no time Ned is accosting strangers to assure them that he's on the case, the case being saving lives and protecting the country, and thrusting his fresh-from-Kinko's business cards in their hands. His take-charge attitude intrigues Tally (Melissa Benoist), a runaway at loose ends. Impressed that his preferred reading material is the 9/11 Commission Report, she becomes his civilian partner in undercover detective work, eager to help Ned prove his questionable thesis that his turban-wearing boss (Nicholas Massouh) is an enemy of the state. Though their adventures in idealism might be misguided, the two outsiders forge a bond of true friendship, their mutual attraction and drastic differences in experience played just right. Benoist (Lowriders, TV's Supergirl) eloquently conveys the brokenness in Tally without overdoing it, making clear why she would spark to Ned as a man of mystery and action, his goofy awkwardness only deepening the image of someone hell-bent on saving the world. Her eventual discovery of the truth about Ned is the movie's most formulaic plot point, but Morrison's sensitive direction lends it nuance. Angarano's self-serious Ned manages to feel both immature and old beyond his years, the character's quirky mannerisms subtly complicated by his unexpressed yearnings. Ned's determination to be helpful proves unexpectedly profound and powerful as the drama crescendos, along with Mark Isham's ace score, in an extraordinary moment that ties together key narrative threads. These include Ned's love of war movies, specifically The Deer Hunter. He imagines himself in jungle combat — sequences that cinematographer Michael Alden Lloyd drenches in thick shadow, a striking contrast to the rich, golden palette that aptly bathes most of the film. At its essence, Sun Dogs is a story about compassion. That's the subject of Ned's every meaningful interaction, whether tender or comically deadpan, and whether he's offering advice or receiving it. Rather than reaching for irony, Morrison lets the story's sincerity shine, not just in Ned and Tally's openhearted exchanges but in the unexpectedly paternal benevolence of Xzibit's military man and in the exquisitely lived-in performances of Janney and O'Neill as Ned's parents. Though their words may be tinged with regret, Rose and Bob are, in different ways, inspired by the indefatigable Ned, and still trying. There's no question, in Angarano's portrayal and the film as a whole, that this eccentric do-gooder would have such an effect.

Here, your local guide will expertly show you the hidden fossils, antique coral reefs, stalagmites and stalactites, and many bat species living inside. After this two hour hike, have a few moments to relax in the pool or with a shower before leaving the town of Venado.
I was born and raised in Costa Rica where I grew up in the rural area of Liberia. I was lucky to have grown up in Liberia, an area known for its vivid culture, zipline tours, and diverse natural wonders that only begin with its beautiful beaches, tropical dry forests, and volcanoes. In addition to the gorgeous environment I grew up in, I also constantly traveled to the far corners of Costa Rica with my family ever since I was a child. All of this has made me into the nature-loving person I am today! I love the outdoors, and even today I live near the Arenal Volcano and Monteverde. I love taking the time to observe nature, whether it is by birdwatching in the day or taking photos of frogs or snakes around my house in the evening. And of course, I love being able to explore nature with my job! My favorite part about being a tour guide is not only being immersed in nature but also being able to have the opportunity to meet new people and understand others' ways of seeing the world.

KARACHI: The shortcomings in the implementation of the anti-rape bill should be resolved immediately as it has prolonged the process of justice to rape victims, said resident director of the Aurat Foundation, Mahnaz Rahman.
Rahman was speaking at an advocacy session organised by War Against Rape (WAR) at Beach Luxury Hotel on Thursday. She was of the view that while Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have achieved some great milestones in resolving cases of rape victims and harassment issues, there are still shortcomings and loopholes in the process of implementation of the bill, which has created many issues for the victims.
Rape is a sensitive issue, she said, adding that NGOs must focus on implementation of the bill and educating society about issues related to gender-based violence. She was of the view that Pakistan is an 'overly legislated country', with many laws but little implementation. Rahman said that even though bills keep getting passed in the parliament, until we, the public, are taken on board, attitudes cannot be changed.
She emphasised that once the public is educated on issues related to gender-based violence, such cases will also decrease and the attitude of the police and judiciary towards these cases will also change in a positive manner as they are a part of the public, too. Highlighting the flaws in reporting such cases by the media, Rahman said they have seen how some media groups revealed the identity of the victim, which they absolutely should not do.
Also present at the session, WAR project director Arisha Qayyum said that they believe that after the induction of more medico-legal officers in the health department, the process of medical reports and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing will become easier for the victims as after 72 hours, the DNA evidence vanishes from the body of the victim.
Qayyum said that, sadly, after severe rape-induced trauma, victims have to bear a secondary trauma while pursuing their cases with the police and judiciary as they are often asked humiliating questions.
"We also need to train our police and media on how to react to such cases and also teach them the code of ethics specifically for cases related to gender-based violence and rape," she urged.

Today in horrific news about children that will ruin your day: an 11 year old girl in Guizhou has been found with her mouth sewn shut with fishing line. She was also severely malnourished and had cuts and burns all over her body. Her father has been arrested.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Yang Shihai, who has four other children, was reportedly arrested after his daughter Xiao Li was found by the side of a road by a villager.
The abuse reportedly went on undetected for 6 years. Consider: Xiao Li weighed just 16 kg (35 lbs) when she was found, which is half as much as the average child her age.
From a picture published by China Daily, it is clear that the girl is much smaller than typical 11 year olds.
Police in their village had apparently been alerted to the abuse before. Last October, the local police chief, Fang Xuping, went to Yang's house after receiving a tip-off. The police chief said: "We went to Yang's home, and we saw that a part of the girl's scalp was a little red, but it was not too serious".
Perhaps Fang was not aware that the 16 kg child he was looking at was supposed to be 11 years old.

More than once per page bug?
I tried to add 2 links with different targets to Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80 (Johann Sebastian Bach) but something seems to be wrong. Richard Mix (talk) 21:49, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- It was just a typo: WIkipediaLink. —Carlos (talk) 22:10, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- And since we're at it: what do you like the most?
- View the Wikipedia article on BWV 80.
- View the Wikipedia article on BWV 80.
- View the Wikipedia article on BWV 80.
- BWV 80: Article on Wikipedia.
- —And what about italicizing the title as in #2? Carlos (talk) 22:25, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, I guess I'm ready for new eyeglasses!
- No. 3 is an improvement, and more consistent with IMSLP2. I've been piping the BWV number only so that there's less distraction from the blue linked part; maybe ideally:
- Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80 Wikipedia article.
- I tried interesting Chuck in a Template:Bach that would add all 4 links; is it worthwhile? Richard Mix (talk) 01:01, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
- Your suggestion above would be ideal, but there's no way of italicizing just part of the title without employing some sort of trick (or repeating the whole title, as you did).
- As for the Bach template, I like the idea, but we may face some problems: IMSLP and Wikipedia use the whole title of the cantata, but even a minor spelling difference such as a comma would render one of the links broken. How to deal with that? Let's take the case you used as example:
- {{JSB|Der Himmel lacht! Die Erde jubilieret|31}}
- should produce the four links you suggest. But notice that for the IMSLP link, die Erde does not begin with a lower case as it should, and the link will not work.
- Regards, —Carlos (talk) 01:04, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Since I've been hand-linking anyway so far, I haven't been bothering to create IMSLP redirect pages; it seems to me that would work around the problem, though. Richard Mix (talk) 07:02, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- Oh sure, creating redirects (either on Wikipedia's or on IMSLP's side) is a fine workaround. It would be even easier to automate the whole thing if we had pages such as BWV 80 redirecting to the proper article on both sites! But that's a lot of extra work. Regards, —Carlos (talk) 15:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- For Bach I guess around 5% might be affected; if Paolo should decide to submit all of Giacchino/Giachino Rossini's operas I wouldn't wish to do it by hand! Since the JSB be cantatas are 2/3 done, my biggest immediate wish would be for a template:BWV|nnn to go back and add *[http://www.bach-cantatas.com/BWVnnn.htm Bach-cantatas site, with links to libretto and translations]. without asking me to pass a Turing test. Richard Mix (talk) 20:27, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
lang= bug?
I'm getting an "Unrecognised language code " error at Wilhelm Gerhard, and (incidentally?) notice the template documentation displays "View the German Wikipedia article on WikipediaLink" instead of Engelhardt. Richard Mix (talk) 22:27, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

An elderly US man who worked at the same toll booth for almost 30 years has been sacked for reportedly helping a motorist pay his fare with his own money.
Vladislav 'Sam' Samsonov, 77, was working as a toll collector on the Boca Grande Causeway in Florida until being fired last week, WBBH reports.
After realising he had charged a truck driver too little, he paid the outstanding $5.50 out of his own pocket, something he had done a number of times during his 29-year stint in the booth.
"In my eyes there was no crime committed, I just helped somebody out," Mr Samsonov said.
"I'd put the six dollars in, I got the six dollars back the next day.
When Mr Samsonov's employers Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority found out, he was told his shifts were being reduced from five days a week to just two.
When he challenged the demotion, he was shown the door.
"If I can't be trusted for five days, how can I be trusted for two days?" Mr Samsonov said.
Mr Samsonov said he is looking at taking legal action, while locals have set up a Facebook page to demand his reinstatement.
The Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority has so far refused to comment.

European company earnings out Tuesday indicated mixed consumer sentiment, with some retailers blaming the early Easter for weaker-than-expected results while others reported strong results.
Full-year profit at Britain's biggest retailer Tesco jumped 11 percent, in line with forecasts, and the company said it made a good start to the year.
Tesco made a trading profit of 2.75 billion pounds ($5.4 billion) in the 52 weeks to Feb. 23, led by strong growth in its international and online businesses.
But results from department store Debenhams were not as encouraging. The retailer, which runs around 145 stores across the UK and Ireland, said headline pre-tax profit was 94.1 million pounds ($185.9 million) for the six months ended March 1, down from 107.4 million the previous year.
The fall was more thananalysts predicted and the company said the outlook was challenging.
Fashion retailer Burberry posted a 19 percent rise in second-half despite tougher conditions and said it expects growth in sales, particularly in North America.
Burberry said it expected wholesale revenue in the six months to September 2008 to increase by around 10 percent on an underlying basis.
"While Spain is expected to show further weakness, this will be countered by good growth in all other regions, especially North America, up by over 20 percent, and emerging markets, as we pursue our strategy of investing in under-penetrated markets," the company said in a statement.
Europe's biggest independent retailer of mobile phones, Carphone Warehouse, said its mobile business was strong in its fiscal fourth quarter, but it saw slower-than-expected growth in broadband connections.
The company said it expected full-year 2008-09 pre-tax profit to be between 215 million and 220 million pounds ($434.5 million) and forecast distributional revenue growth of 9 percent to 10 percent and fixed-line growth of 4 percent to 5 percent for the year to March 2009.
And the strong euro, combined with the heavy winter in Europe, benefited Swiss medical devices maker Synthes. Its first-quarter sales rose 19 percent, beating forecasts.

FSB has just issued a useful and vocal manifesto
Small business is finding its voice – and about time, too. Small and medium-sized enterprises account for 47 per cent of the employed workforce, as Money&Co. CEO, Nicola Horlick, explains. As you know, putting people together with businesses to facilitate funding and growth is at the heart of what we do.
So we welcome the fact that the Federation of Small Business (FSB) has just published its manifesto for the small business sector – and we are not alone. According to influential commentator David Prosser in The Independent, the FSB "deserves a fair hearing if this government and its successors are serious about putting entrepreneurialism at the centre of economic recovery and growth.
"The FSB's manifesto contains all sorts of useful suggestions, from calls for better broadband to a crackdown on late payments, but one recommendation in particular will strike a chord with small businesses frustrated by the repeated failure of governments past and present to take their concerns seriously. Why, the FSB asks, does the UK not have an equivalent of the US Small Business Administration, an agency that sits within government, with a cabinet seat, in order to bring small business policymaking under a single roof?
"Governments all too often fail small businesses, even where they have the best of intentions. Given the way we set policy in the UK, with initiatives aimed at a single constituency as likely to come from any one of several government departments, it's no wonder that the overall environment lacks coherency or consistency."
If the government changes colour – specifically from coalition blue and green to Labour red – a number of business interest groups, including the FSB, have expressed their concern over the potential direction of policy.
Raising the minimum wage to £8 per hour was the chief concern of several bodies, as City AM reports: "The Federation of Small Business, Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and the British Chambers of Commerce yesterday all urged Labour not to use the minimum wage to score political points, or risk leaving companies uncertain about the future staffing costs they face.
"Labour leader Ed Miliband yesterday said his party would increase the minimum wage to £8 per hour in the next parliament if he is elected Prime Minister.
"However, deputy director general of the CBI Katja Hall said: 'Raising wages in this way would put serious strain on businesses, particularly hard-pressed smaller firms with tight margins, which would end up employing fewer people.'
"Echoing the CBI, John Allan, national chairman of the FSB added: 'Our concern is that setting rates according to political need means that the impact of rises on employment, inflation and growth will not be fully explored.'"
