Cafe3564
Wine Bar&
At Equilibrio Espresso we roast specialty, micro-lot, varietal and small plantation holdings of coffee.


We are based in Melbourne and roast coffee for cafes, restaurants and can contract roast to the specific needs of a coffee shop owner.


With over 30 years combined experience in the industry we live and breathe coffee.


Using our advanced roasting equipment, we handcraft and develop a select number of single origin offerings, blends and seasonal blends to suit a variety of preparation methods and palates.

We develop our seasonal blends understanding that coffee is an ever changing product that will vary from season to season and crop to crop. This is why we post blend our coffee to ensure that each bean that is sourced, is roasted and developed to bring out the best flavours in the cup.


Being involved in all processes of the supply chain from seed to cup we source only the finest coffees from around the globe.


Our travels over the years have lead us to visit some truly incredible, diverse, coffee rich places and experience how unique each region is to the next.


It is these relationships that we will continue to establish and develop, out of passion and necessity in remaining at the forefront of the coffee industry. Relationships with these smaller farmers and producers of coffees and equipment, help ensure that the end product will truly reflect and highlight these remarkable flavours and characteristics of cherries that are hand picked from selected regions.

With current 2048 MB RAM, the GTX 760 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.
This combination between GTX 760 and Intel Core i5-3570 @ 3.40GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss.

Palliative Care: Finance:Written question - 3572
Q
Asked by Mr Stephen Hepburn

Palliative Care: Finance

Answered on: 30 October 2019

As with the vast majority of National Health Service services, the commissioning of palliative and end of life care is a local matter, over which individual clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) have responsibility. CCGs are best placed to understand the needs of local populations and allocate funding for services to meet those needs from the overall resource allocations they receive.



Much of the palliative care patients receive will be provided either in outpatient or community settings, by nurses, community teams or general practitioners (GPs) as part of general NHS services provision, rather than as an identified palliative care service. In such services, data are either not available or do not identify palliative treatment. In addition, social and voluntary sector organisations can provide additional support to patients and the end of life. Therefore, figures for the total cost or allocation of funding for palliative and end of life care services are not available.



The vast majority of hospices were established from charitable and philanthropic donations and are therefore primarily charity-funded and independently run. However, they receive some statutory funding from CCGs and the Government for providing local NHS services. The majority of decisions regarding the statutory funding hospices receive, are a local matter.

Published in January 2019, the NHS Long Term Plan has a commitment to match CCGs up to £7 million from NHS England for Children and Young People’s Palliative and End of Life Care (CYP PEOLC), on condition of £7 million match funding from CCGs by 2023/24. This will create a total planned additional spending of at least £14million a year for CYP PEOLC services across all providers.


In addition, on 20 August the Government announced that £25 million in funding for hospices and palliative care services. This will help alleviate pressures on hospices and boost our local palliative care services; providing for new services – such as out-of-hours support, respite care and specialist community teams. Importantly, the funding is for adults and children and young people’s hospices and palliative services; this is non-recurrent funding and the £25 million announcement relates to 2019/20 only and; the money is to be spent locally, improving care for patients as soon as possible.



NHS England and NHS Improvement have been working to get this money into local areas as a priority and have uplifted CCG resource allocations to reflect the new funding this month. The expectation is that CCGs work collaboratively to assign the money to hospices and palliative services as a sustainability and transformation partnership (STP) across their STP footprint.



On 1 July 2019, the Government announced plans to increase Children’s Hospice grant from £12 million in 2019/20 to £25 million by 2023/24. The grant is provided to children’s hospices to compensate for lower levels of local statutory funding they receive, compared to adult hospices. The planned grant allocations by financial year are as follows: 2020/21 £15 million; 2021/22 £17 million; 2022/23 £21 million; 2023/24 £25 million. Plans for financial year 2024/25 yet to be developed as the Long Term Plan only covers the period to 2023/24.

Hi anti - not sure if you are aware that Caroline Dinenage (who answered the question) is the Tory MP for Gosport, and the daughter of Fred Dinenage of Meridian TV fame, and ex director of Pompey FC in the distant days of previous owner Milan Mandaric.

Is where you live well away from the awful fires they keep showing on TV over here ? They say one in three koalas are dying in the fires. A lot of ill feeling shown towards your PM as well ! Do hope they can finally put out the fires, and try to get back to as normal as is possible.

I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and started hormone therapy treatment before Christmas - 3 months of daily tablets, plus 3 or 4 injections, prior to radiotherapy treatment over in Pompey for 4 weeks (5 sessions a week). Then probably carry on with the hormone therapy tablets for possibly another 12 months. Feel a bit tired so far, otherwise much the same as before. Cheers, Woopert <cheers>

Hey Woops - was unaware of the link thanks for heads up - We are well away from the fires some smoke haze but its bleedin' hot - a suburb of Sydney was yesterday the hottest place on earth with a temperature of 49.3 degrees I live 5 minutes from the beach so it was only 39 here the sea breeze helps to keep our temperature down. - the fires are a bloody nightmare for property humans and wildlife they are predicted to burn until April if we dont get substantial rain. My sister arrives on the 6th Feb I hope there is something left to show her - thanks for your update on your health full steam ahead towards a full recovery I wish you well -Cheers <cheers> :emoticon-0103-cool:

The Effect of Energy Labelling on Menus and a Social Marketing Campaign on Food-Purchasing Behaviours of University Students.

Results
There were no differences in sales between the kJ labelling with social marketing and the 5-weeks of labelling before and after. The percentage sale of chicken Caesar burger (3580 kJ, P = 0.01), steak and chips (4000 kJ, P = 0.02) and the grill burger (5500 kJ, P = 0.00) were lower in the year with menu labelling and social marketing campaign. Only 30 % students were initially aware of the kJ labels on the menu but 75 % of students were accepting of kJ labelling, after they were made aware. Respondents viewing the marketing campaign elements and then using kJ values on the menu selected meals with a lower mean energy content; constituting a reduction of 978 kJ (p < 0.01) even though the majority claimed that the 8700 kJ campaign would not impact their food choices.

Conclusions
Point-of-purchase energy labelling may be an effective method to encourage better food choices when eating out among young adults. However, further efforts to increase awareness and provide education about energy requirements to prevent weight gain will be needed.
