ЁЯУж FREE SCHOOL MEAL PARCELS EXPLAINED

ЁЯНП IтАЩve had a number of questions today about the parcels that have been going out for those who receive free school meals and arenтАЩt able to take up this entitlement in school at the moment.

ЁЯМ╜You may have seen photographs circulating on the internet showing a box of food that had been distributed by a contractor. It was claimed this had food in it that was meant to last ten days.
ЁЯзА The food in the picture was actually only intended for 5 days, not 10, and cost ┬г10.50 not ┬г30 as has been suggested by some. The company responsible have however acknowledged that it could have been better.
ЁЯеХ The food is supposed to be a substitute for the lunch children would be missing in school - itтАЩs not intended to be food for the whole day and it is not intended to feed the rest of the family either.
There are however other schemes available for struggling families who need this as part of the Covid Winter Plan.
ЁЯеФ Schools get about ┬г11.50 from the Government per week to provide school meals. Recognising the extra costs of distribution etc the Government has now increased this to ┬г15 (the additional funding was announced on Friday). All this had to be done at very short notice last week.
ЁЯеЪ Schools/Local Authorities can either use food parcels or they can use a national/local voucher scheme instead - they were given the choice and they still have a choice.
ЁЯНЕ Schools/LAs then used their own contractors to distribute food. The pictures people saw are from one of those companies. These are not chosen by the Government.
ЁЯНЮ The Government and LACA have set guidance as to what each food parcel should include and what people can expect to receive (pictured) at top of thread.
ЁЯНК Parcels have been preferred by many as they also allow schools to keep in touch with some of the more vulnerable pupils from a contact perspective.
ЁЯеЫ Schools cannot cook hot food and send it out as they do not have the relevant food safety certificates for this. This is why food is sent out that can be prepared at home and will last.
ЁЯел Finally, not just from a nutritional perspective, but an educational and health one, it is important that all children are able to return to school as soon as possible. ThatтАЩs why following the rules, testing and vaccinations are so important.
ЁЯек In the meantime, thank you to all of our school, local authority and private sector staff who are helping to get us through these challenging times - and thank you to the parents who are staying at home as part of these efforts too.

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
IMPORTANCE, ADVANTAGES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF BHAGWAT PURAN

It was Ved Vyas who edited the eighteen thousand shlokas of Bhagwat. This book destroys all your sins. It has twelve parts which are like kalpvraksh.

In the first skandh, the importance of Vedvyas


and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.

It also discusses the evolution of universe.(

Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.


In the next section we find the portrayal of Sati, Dhruv, Pruthu, and the story of ancient King, Bahirshi.
In the next section we find the character of King Priyavrat and his sons, different types of loks in this universe, and description of Narak. ( https://t.co/gmDTkLktKS )


In the sixth part we find the portrayal of Ajaamil ( https://t.co/LdVSSNspa2 ), Daksh and the birth of Marudgans( https://t.co/tecNidVckj )

In the seventh section we find the story of Prahlad and the description of Varnashram dharma. This section is based on karma vaasna.
