working like coalminers, but actually burning shells to turn into limestone. In Kerala, India.
I especially like the grain of sweat on the back, when seen at high sizes...
My personal fav of 2005
The National Institute of Houseworkers (NIH) was set up in 1946 to provide free training of domestic workers for placement in private homes and from the early 1950’s much of the NIH’s work was directed at training domestic workers for employment in Local Authority Home Help services. The NIH also sought to raise the standard of domestic work as a skilled trade as well as advocating for better terms of employment and minimum rates of pay. At its peak (1950), the NIH had around nine training centres throughout Britain and in its early years trained between 200 and 300 domestic workers annually. By the mid-1950s onwards, the number of centres and trainees had been drastically cut due to curtailment of government funding.
NIH training was usually of six months duration and those who successfully completed the course were awarded the NIH Diploma in Housecraft along with the badge. The training was designed for young women who were seeking domestic work posts in hospitals, residential homes, hotels, colleges, boarding schools as well as domestic service in private homes.
Would anyone know when the NIH was wound-up? The latest reference I came across was 1965 and they were certainly active in 1963.

Thousands of university, college and school students – joined by workers – are marching in London and Manchester against Tory cuts to education, fee rises and attacks on jobs and services.
The revolution in Tunisia and uprising in Egypt have clearly inspired the marches. Marchers have chanted, “Egypt, Egypt everywhere.”
London
Aisha, an FE student from Camden in north London said, “I’ve been on all the demonstrations, but some of my friends are here who haven’t been out on the protests before.
“I like the slogan ‘This is only the beginning’, because it’s going to be a long fight against this government.”
Theo, a school student from south east London, took part in the Day X walkouts last year. He said, “Lots of people who want to go to university won’t be able to and people will definitely be affected by the cuts to EMA [Education Maintenance Allowance]. The government is making the wrong people pay – the bankers are getting hundreds of thousands in bonuses.”
For workers, the student protests have been an inspiration.
A GMB rep joining the protest in London said, “I’m here to show solidarity with the students. I’ve got a daughter who has just gone through university and there is no way she would have been able to afford £9,000 a year fees.
“I’m also here to say that I don’t believe in these cuts. We’ve got to stick together workers and students. I think that the TUC demo on the 26 March can give people confidence to fight.”
UCU lecturer Vicky Margree works at the University of Brighton. She said, “We face 100 percent cut in arts and humanities funding which will hit universities hard. And the new fees will make university unaffordable for the majority of people.”
Kelly Rogers, a Unison organiser, said, “Unless we show solidarity with younger people we may as well give up. Students have led the way and enthused workers, showing us how to fight.”
Solidarity with the Egyptian uprising
In London the mood was electric as up to a thousand students joined the many hundreds of people already protesting in solidarity with the Egyptian people outside the embassy off Park Lane.
Chants of “Solidarity, solidarity,” “London and Cairo unite and fight” and “Hey ho Mubarak has to go” are ringing through the air.
One man on the original protest said, “I can’t believe that all these young people have come to support us. This makes us feel even stronger. I can’t wait to send the pictures of all you British people who have come to support us to people back home.”
Before reaching the embassy, the protest stopped outside the Tory HQ at Millbank – a focus of student anger and protests last year – as students chanted, “Tory scum, here we come.”
