Brexit will not affect the UK’s emissions reductions, as our domestic legislation is more ambitious than targets we have been set by the EU. Whatever the nature of the future UK-EU relationship, the UK will remain committed to international efforts to tackle climate change, and working closely with the EU will remain v... |
What’s the next target fuel to reduce in UK power production? |
The UK has shown that tackling climate change and growing the economy, can, and should, go hand in hand. Since 1990, we have cut emissions by more than 40 per cent while our economy has grown by two thirds. Now we want to help other countries do the same. The Clean Growth Strategy sets out a number of pathways for the ... |
Does the UK rely too much on gas? |
No – it provides the flexibility and reliability we need. The National Grid estimates that gas demand is not expected to rise but it is still expected to be an important part of the energy mix in the next two decades, accounting for at least two thirds of current demand. |
Is there one technology that you see as being really transformative in the UK’s energy production? |
We expect to see a mix of technologies in the future, including gas, nuclear and renewables. At present, nearly half of all our electricity is generated from low-carbon sources such as offshore wind, solar, biomass and nuclear. Our Clean Growth Strategy sets out a pathway for 2032, in which 85 per cent of energy will c... |
Is better energy consumption as important as better production? |
We need to reduce the emissions created by heating our homes and businesses, which account for almost a third of UK emissions. If done correctly, cutting emissions in these areas can benefit us all through reduced energy bills, which will improve the UK’s productivity, and improved air quality, while the innovation and... |
My mother and I go shopping frequently in Sioux Falls, SD, and one day, we decided to go to Burlington to see what clothes they had and all that. We get there, and then first thing we see is shopping carts stranded in the parking lot areas, and some taking up valuable spacing. A little frustrated, we moved some and was... |
Third, by the makeup area, over half of the boxes containing items were opened and not put back to their original spot, some had missing items, and lots were in the wrong place. Fourth, the shoe area had lots of problems. Many were strawed out everywhere but the racks, and had stuffing that they put in the shoes everyw... |
Then, my friend and I went back a few weeks ago to see if anything had changed. We walked in, and everything was the exact same way. Clothes everywhere. Boxes of items missing. Even their changing rooms were very unsanitary. My friend and I started to film a little bit of what we were looking at, but ended up getting k... |
Every time I shop at Burlington this wonderful woman Linda ** is always smiling. She interacts with her customers. I enjoy her as a cashier. Thank you Linda **. You're the best!!!! She takes her time to fold your clothing properly when others ball your items up and they get all wrinkled. I just want this woman to be re... |
My elderly mother and I were very excited to visit the brand new Burlington in the Carson Mall 3/30/2019. The store was clean but not stocked. However, my mom was doing an exchange/refund. The "Cashier Maria" is a very angry disgruntled employee. Whether she was having a bad day was not our problem. The "Cashier Maria"... |
Keep in mind my elderly mom is 85 and I'm 49. This Maria was out of control. Even when the asst. manager came to help she was still arguing with us as if she was in a street brawl over a return. The nice asst. manager manually entered the receipt and return our items. Just imagine what she will do if another customer a... |
Always find great deals in the Erie, PA store... Customer service is great too. Daughter bought a dress for her grade 8 graduation and the cashier put it in a plastic wrap on a hanger without us even suggesting it. Also clean and very well organized store. Workers stocking the shelves friendly and helpful. Would highly... |
Normally, when you order clothes online from a retailer, you can ship the item back if you need to return it. Not the case with Burlington. You are unable to ship it back, and you need to visit a store to return it. Not only that, but you can only return the item with the original credit card that paid for the item. So... |
How do I know I can trust these reviews about Burlington Coat Factory? |
I was ordering items online and Burlington declined my card. I checked my bank account to make sure I had sufficient funds and I did so I did it again and it declined again. I thought maybe it's a WiFi issue so I turned my wifi off and on then I tried again still declined. Then I used a different credit card. Declined ... |
I called corporate and it was a similar experience except she told me it was Burlington's protocol to decline a card to see if you have sufficient funds. But why would they do that 4 times and never complete the payment? She could not answer any questions for me. She suggested that I use PayPal? I am stuck at what to d... |
I’ve been meaning to write this review a while ago. I'd like to take time to acknowledge one of your customer service representatives. I believe her name is Diane at store #199. She showed professionalism and was very friendly and interacted with my son. He was tired and ready to go but she made him smile all while she... |
I bought a coat at Burlington 50.00 last year and the sleeve fell apart one month and I do not have a receipt. People say how good Burlington is and I do not think so I brought to tailor and they could not help. I have it taped but when I do wash it will come off. I need to get 50.00 so I can buy a new coat. I am not p... |
This was the most frustrating and worst customer service I've ever had in my life. Trying to return shoes that don't fit right that were a gift from my wife who purchased them on her account. I brought back the shipping sheet that has the order number on it and proof of my ID and they still said after the second time t... |
I am going to Chicago in 3 days. I purchased a hat and scarf set today and later on realized that I selected the wrong color. Turns out I didn’t select the wrong color, they didn’t give me an option to change it. I then tried to cancel my order or at least edit. I couldn’t find that option anywhere. Took me forever to ... |
Had a layaway. Needed to return a couple items and gave me gift card instead of my money back. Had receipt. I didn't pay with gift card. I paid cash. Will not ever shop there again!! The employee was rude as well as corporate office. They justified gift card by saying policy for gift card was on the receipt. REALLY!!? |
Even 1 star is too good of a rating. The coupons that are given in the store cannot be used online. Saw a coat in the store and the price online was 7 dollars more than the price in the store, they just didn't have it in my size. Called customer service, who was completely useless, seems like their favorite phrases, th... |
I went shopping for Christmas. Had a 3 month old baby in a car seat, put the car seat in a cart I found in parking lot. When I went through the line and paid they never said you cannot take the cart out of the store or I would have never bought anything. But when I went to leave a rude employee said, "You cannot take t... |
I went to the store at the El Con Mall in Tucson. I must say how disenchanted I was with this store. Nothing is organized. They have sections for different types of products such as beauty, clothes, shoes, etc., but everything is thrown in together. You go to the beauty section and you will have some of the lotions her... |
I thanked him and went back to see where the line was (there was nothing that said that this is the checkout line) and found about 20 people standing there with carts full of stuff. I had two items that I wanted to purchase. At this time of year, there should be more than 4 registers open. I put my stuff on a table and... |
I purchased a coat on Tuesday. Took the tags off Wednesday morning, got in the car, saw it was completely unraveling by the time I got to work!! The coat unraveled along the seam within less than 1 day!! I paid an amazing price, but the cashier told me I couldn’t exchange the coat because it had been worn. A $90 coat w... |
I made a purchase online on the 27 of November and until today I'm still waiting for the tracking number and they could not ever answer my question online or over the phone. I will never buy anything from that store and I do not recommend it either. |
This rep had the audacity of making it seem as if I ordered the wrong stuff. Ordered 20 pairs of shoes for Christmas gifts and I get sent 2 snow items jacket and pant size 4x inside the box with someone else invoice but the FedEx label outside has my name and address on it. How does an order of 20 pairs of shoes get mi... |
Call up cust. service and right away they concern was money back to which I told them it took me time and effort to search and find the right item for each person and you copping for an easy way out before even looking to see if you can resolve the matter at stake here by finding my package and redirecting that to me, ... |
I ordered stuff online since the 30th of October. It is now 15th of November. USPS says they couldn't deliver (no fault on my part) and this is stated on the shipper website and Burlington can see this. I have chased Burlington for my refunds but to no avail. Burlington says it need receive the items before making a re... |
DO NOT Order items from Burlington Coat factory online. I ordered two coats. FedEx stated they were shipped to my address. I had someone home looking for the packages as I really needed the coats. They did not arrive. Called FedEx. They told me to call the store so I called the customer service line for Burlington and ... |
I never saw in my experience like this, I order soccer cleats for my son and I received a baby shoe. As per the policy I walked in the store and returned the item. They not ready to pay back the shipment cost and said it's not their policy to pay the shipment fee. I questioned it's not my fault as you returned an inapp... |
I have been in touch with Burlington for approx. 2 weeks now. I have to Merchandise Claim Certificates that are unused. They are years old. Tried to use them, ring up as invalid. Went to the main office, first customer rep (Rheanna) was so bad I asked to have the call escalated to a supervisor. Dino was pleasant, but n... |
Went to the Crossgates Mall store to shop with my 2 children. My son was at the register trying to pay for his 2 items and the cashier was so busy gossiping about a previous customer, that she didn't see he had a second item. Thus, to say, he had to endure her rudeness even longer, as well as the long line of customers... |
My mom ordered a baby swing for my sister's little baby boy on June 30th and it was supposed to be delivered to my sister's house in Temecula on July 10th and she never got it. I emailed them and they didnt do anything. I got an email from them that the swing was returned and my mom will be getting a refund back from i... |
Ordered a crib from their online and had agreed to pay 20.00 shipping! Well that's where it gets lost I guess! The day of the delivery we get an email that our package was delivered! We get a notice via email and go to the door and no package! We call immediately and get put on hold and the agent comes back 10 min late... |
I ordered a baby bed for my daughter and I called to follow up on the order. First the agent, Denise was rude. She placed me on hold for at least 10 min. Since I work in the customer service field myself I am aware of the policies and procedures. I know that when placing a call on hold you are supposed to check on and ... |
I purchased a diaper bag for 50.00 at Burlington 2 months ago. The zipper broke and I attempted to exchange it for the same bag, but they refused. The clerk stated that I needed the tag or the receipt. Who would keep a tag on a bag that they are using? I never expected the zipper to break so soon. I do not want any mon... |
My stolen card was used in the West Nyack Store. I contacted them to assist me so I can identify who used it (since it disappeared after a friend's party so I know someone I know took it). I spoke with someone who told me to come into the store and what proof to bring, I told them I'll be there at 5 pm. I get there to ... |
Corporate customer service told me it was an outside security company, the store manager told me it was Burlington's security company. Just disorganized and incredibly rude - and this isn't even an experience complaint it's a SECURITY complaint. My STOLEN card was used and they just don't care to even give me the time ... |
Stopped at store No. 01008 Military Rd. Niagara Falls. Went in to buy my granddaughter a pair of shoes. Got to the cash register a only one was open. After the sixth person got in line another opened. Paid for the shoes and the cashier said she need my phone number. I said no and she said she could've complete the tran... |
She finally gave me the receipt she had grasped in her hand. With my granddaughter in the cart I headed for the door. Almost turned the cart over when I tried to walk out the door. The wheels had locked up. An employee came over and said, "You can't take the carts out the door." All I had was a pair of shoes, my Grandd... |
As we approach the Nexus 6P release date of 29 September, we've seen more and more of the next Nexus device. But this is probably the biggest leak yet when it comes to design. |
Courtesy of Android Police we have what appears to be a product shot for the new handset, the Huawei-built Nexus 6P. We know it's going to be called the Nexus 6P, because packaging for the new Nexus device has also surfaced from the same source. |
You might not be too surprised by what you see before you, because it matches many of the rumours we've seen previously. |
The Nexus 6P has a metal unibody construction, typical of Huawei's leading devices, but with a camera bulge towards the top of this handset, with that black insert in it. It's said that the Nexus 6P is 6.6mm thick through the body, and 8.5mm at the top where that bulge is. |
It's thought to be a 5.7-inch device, and in this image you can see that it's running Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with the wallpaper matching the imagery in the background on the packaging we've just seen too. |
You'll notice that the time is set at 6:00 in the top left-hand corner, a nod to the Android version that it's going to introduce. |
You can also see the pair of front-facing speakers, as well as the fingerprint scanner on the rear of the handset. If it performs anywhere near as well as the Huawei Mate S, it will be very welcome indeed. |
There's little left to learn about the new Nexus device. You can keep up with all the rumours and Nexus 6P specs right here, and we'll be reporting live from the unveiling on 29 September. |
The New York Times had an interesting report about a week ago, pointing to Republican concerns that Donald Trump is insufficiently concerned about the 2018 midterm elections. |
It’s a fair point to emphasize, but there’s something cynical at the root of the observation: Republican lawmakers have effectively told the Republican president that they’ve looked the other way on Trump’s scandals and misdeeds, ignoring their oversight responsibilities and undermining the entire idea of checks and ba... |
House Speaker Paul Ryan appears eager to make a related case to the public. |
House Speaker Paul Ryan warned that Democratic gains in November’s congressional elections could make it impossible to get anything accomplished and expose President Donald Trump’s administration to more aggressive oversight. |
Should Republicans lose control of either the House or Senate, “you’ll have gridlock, you’ll have subpoenas,” with the whole legislative system “shutting down,” Ryan said Wednesday in Beverly Hills, California, at the annual Milken Institute Global Conference. |
This is not a good argument. Just at face value, I don’t imagine many political observers would say the legislative process has worked efficiently and effectively since the GOP took control of the levers of federal power – they’ve passed one big bill, and they did so in a reckless way, rife with mistakes and abuses – w... |
For that matter, there have been plenty of times in American history in which the parties have shared power in D.C. For Ryan to assume that the entire system would “shut down” if Republicans had to compromise with Democrats is a mistake. |
But it’s use of the word “subpoenas” that jumped out at me. |
What the retiring House Speaker seemed to suggest was that Democrats, if given any meaningful authority in Congress, would take steps to hold the president accountable for his actions. |
To hear Paul Ryan tell it, Congress should do practically nothing, and voters should help the Republican majority ensure that doesn’t change. |
MASBATE CITY—Fishermen on Thursday retrieved the body of Nepali student pilot Kshitiz Chand as police began an investigation into the plane crash that killed Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo, the Nepali and the aircraft’s owner. |
On Thursday, a passenger ferry, the MV Cooperative, saw the body of Chand about half a kilometer from the coast near the area where the wreckage of the plane was found. The ferry’s crew tied the body with rope and turned it over to Navy searchers, according to Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin. |
With the recovery of the missing Nepali, officials announced the close of search and retrieval operations and the formal start of the police investigation. |
Police officials said investigators were looking for people who saw the plane plunge into the waters off Masbate City on Saturday afternoon and the fisherman who rescued Robredo’s security aide, Senior Inspector June Paulo Abrazado, 26, the lone survivor. |
Divers recovered the remains of Robredo, 54, near the door of the four-seat Piper Seneca on Tuesday, and that of Captain Jessup Bahinting, on Wednesday. The bodies of the two, along with Chand, were seen by divers inside the aircraft on Tuesday, but by Wednesday, when divers got Bahinting, the Nepali had disappeared. |
Chand’s remains were identified by his father, Tek Bahadur Chand, who flew to Masbate from Nepal on Monday. |
The bodies of Bahinting, 61, and Chand, 21, were flown to Cebu Thursday. |
The plane’s wreckage was refloated at around 7 a.m. and brought closer to shore Thursday. |
Senior Superintendent Heriberto Olitoquit, the director of the Philippine National Police in Masbate, said all the belongings of the crash victims, including bags, were found in the wreckage and brought to the command center. |
Masbate Governor Rizalina Seachon-Lanete, described the search-rescue-retrieval mission as a showcase of the best of the “bayanihan” spirit of the people despite scarce resources. |
But General Jessie Dellosa, chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, said the operations also highlighted the military’s limited capability. |
Gazmin said the operation was a learning experience that should never happen again. “Our only weakness is the lack of trained people on the technical side because we lack the equipment,” he said. |
“Next time, we will be more prepared,” he said in a news conference announcing the conclusion of the search operations. The mission, he said, created a template for what to do in case of a similar incident in the future. |
Senior Supt. Pedro Cabatingan, PNP director in Bicol, said police authorities were completing the documentation of the incident, which included taking photos of the plane’s wreckage described as a “total wreck,” and making an inventory of recovered parts of the plane. |
The right wing of the plane was recovered on Sunday, two days before the discovery of the wreckage. |
“We are interested in the right engine,” said Cabatingan, describing this as “an investigative point of concern” after Abrazado claimed in his affidavit that the pilots were having problems with the right engine before the crash. |
Technical assessments, however, rest with investigators of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and other foreign experts. They will come in after the initial police probe, said Cabatingan. “The technical aspect on how it developed engine trouble is not within our (competence),” he said. |
“Hopefully, we can re-create [the aircraft’s condition] before and after the crash,” CAAP Director General William Hotchkiss III told reporters in Manila. |
He said it was important that the two engines of the Piper Seneca aircraft, manufactured by Piper Aircraft Inc. based in Vero Beach, Florida, be recovered although he said foreign experts would have to be consulted to determine if the accident was caused by engine failure. |
The CAAP earlier suspended the flying school and air taxi operations of Aviatour Air, which owns the aircraft. The agency has yet to conclude its investigation of a March accident involving another Aviatour plane that crashed in Camiguin province, killing the pilot and a Norwegian passenger. |
Transportation Secretary Mar Roxas, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the congressional budget hearing, said he hoped that the inquiry would result in strengthening the country’s air safety regulations. For example, he said he wanted to know if the downed aircraft had a requisite emergency locator transmitter (... |
“A plane cannot be allowed to fly without an ELT. Why didn’t it work? Was it broken? Was it broken upon impact? Was it installed? These are the questions that the investigators will be asking,” he told reporters before defending his department’s proposed P32.74-billion budget next year. |
Roxas said it was “no joke” that the Piper Seneca plane was found three days after the accident. If only the ELT worked, he said the search could have been completed within hours. |

Latin jazz played well can be soothing and exciting, almost addictive. |
Marc Beaudin knows. He’s the gifted bassist, guitarist, arranger and composer who leads a couple of different bands in separate shows this week, mining different Latin beats. |
What’s the attraction to Latin grooves? |
Thursday it’s a tribute to the 1962 release by saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist Charlie Byrd called Jazz Samba. Not one to trifle with trivia, Beaudin will remind you that it was the first jazz album to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s pop charts, predating Getz’s success with the Getz/Gilberto (featuring The Girl From Ipan... |
After bossa nova had already reached it’s peak in Brazil, it was the hip, cool Jazz Samba that introduced Brazilian polyrhythms to North American pop culture, selling one million copies. |
For this YEG showcase date, 8 p.m. Thursday at the Yardbird Suite, Beaudin and his guitar meet up with Jeremiah McDade’s sax, Ryan Davidson on second guitar, bassist Rubim Detoledo and drummer Andrew Deppisch. |
Saturday Beaudin is back at Sherwood Park’s Festival Place at 7:30 p.m., dipping into Cuban grooves and more with his band La Cueva. This music has more of a personal inspiration and original tunes dating back to the bandleader’s visit to Cuba about five years ago. Bassist Mike Lent, violinist Jonathan Lewis, pianist A... |
