Release time:May 21, 2024 09:56 AM

On May 21, a message that "the municipal government will provide a daily meal subsidy of 2 yuan to Shanghai's elderly people over 60 years old" spread on the Internet, and stated that the application can be made through Alipay, and it can be issued to the elderly card or social security card. Many netizens asked about the authenticity of the Shanghai Rumor Refuting Platform. After verification, the message was misread.

In response to the news spread online, the Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau said: "Currently, Shanghai does not have a unified meal subsidy standard for the whole city. Each district, sub-district and town formulates an elderly meal subsidy policy based on actual conditions in the region. The meal subsidies for the elderly are not in the form of cash. issued directly.”

The reporter learned that the news spread online may have misinterpreted the meal subsidies for the elderly given by the elderly canteens in different communities. At present, the meal assistance subsidies for the elderly in various districts and towns are generally directly deducted or directly discounted when paying on site. For example, some community canteens may have a 2 yuan subsidy. When an eligible elderly person orders a meal and checks out, he or she will be deducted 2 yuan on the spot before paying; some community canteens use a direct discount, and the discounts vary in different communities.

In short, the specific preferential methods, conditions for enjoyment, subsidy standards, etc. of community canteens are not consistent, and the policies of the street and town where they are located shall prevail.

The Civil Affairs Bureau also introduced the basic situation of dining in community canteens for the elderly for citizens’ reference:

1. Which elderly people can eat at the community elderly canteen?

This city’s community elderly canteens serve all elderly people. Elderly people in need can go to the community elderly canteens to dine.

2. What are the current forms of meal assistance discounts or subsidies for the elderly?

Currently, various community elderly canteens have certain discounts for the elderly. There are two main forms of discounts: one is a direct discount, and the other is a direct deduction of a certain amount.

3. Which elderly people can enjoy meal assistance discounts or subsidies?

At present, the city has not yet issued a unified meal assistance preferential or subsidy policy across the city.

Each district, sub-district and town implements preferential meal assistance or subsidy policies for the elderly in the region based on actual conditions. The specific conditions for subsidy objects, subsidy standards, and subsidy forms are formulated and implemented by each district, street, or town.

Elderly people registered in this city can choose to eat at the community elderly canteen in the town where they live, and enjoy discounts or meal subsidies in accordance with the policies of the town where they live.

New young teachers should be cared for in all aspects
New young teachers should be cared for in all aspects

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the scale of education, many new teachers join the profession every year. However, due to some force majeure, many new teachers teach online as soon as they take up their posts. They have fewer opportunities to participate in offline training and experience the city. They have limited communication with their peers and non-teachers, lack a sense of identity and belonging, and are prone to anxiety and discomfort. and other negative psychological feelings. Based on the above considerations, I suggest increasing care for new young teachers and organizing different forms of services and activities for them to help new teachers integrate into the collective and better devote themselves to education and teaching. It is recommended to organize activities on urban cultural identity for new young teachers. For example, Songjiang District, where I am located, has a long cultural heritage, but many teachers know little about it and lack a sense of identity, belonging and pride. If it passes

Recently, the "sudden death prevention package" has been highly praised on social platforms. Many bloggers claim that after taking the "sudden death prevention package", people become more energetic and are no longer afraid of getting up early to exercise or staying up late to work. The reporter noticed that most of the so-called "sudden death prevention packages" promoted online are composed of health products such as coenzyme Q10, fish oil, lutein, vitamin D, vitamin E, and B vitamins. In fact, none of these health products have the effect of "preventing sudden death" when taken alone, and there is no evidence that taking these health products in a package can prevent sudden death. "Preventing sudden death" is just a new term coined by merchants, and the ultimate goal is to sell health care products. On social platforms, various “sudden death prevention packages” are highly praised. Specifically, coenzyme Q10 is used clinically as an adjuvant treatment for myocarditis or heart failure, but there is no evidence that it can

"This is my father's respect card, why is it not allowed to hold a card to pack meals?"

"The final station of this train is Guanglan Road." As the night fell, accompanied by a voice broadcast, Ms. Tian stepped onto Line 2 of the subway from Nanjing West Road Station. Although she had been busy all day, the destination of this train clearly indicated that it would take a lot of trouble to return to her home in Chuansha. In April 2010, the second phase of the East Extension of Shanghai Metro Line 2 was opened for operation. Due to the implementation of a large and small routing operation mode, some trains terminate at Guanglan Road. Passengers need to transfer to subsequent trains at this station to reach 8 stations in Pudong, including Tangzhen, Chuansha, and Pudong Airport. In fact, considering the need to save electricity and improve operational efficiency, it is common for subways to use large and small interchanges. Simply getting off and transferring doesn't add much trouble. Why is Ms. Tian's journey home so difficult? In recent days,
