Begum, 45, is a sex worker at Baniashanta brothel at Dacoope upazila in Khulna. Cyclone Amphan devastated her home and adjacent surroundings. The Covid-19 pandemic forced her out of work. Members of the village police announced the incoming Cycline Amphan the day before, requesting everyone to take refuge in the nearby cyclone shelter. She was worried about her house — built outside the dam support —which was newly built, with new furniture and all. But her colleagues urged her to go. She did not move until the last moment, after which she took refuge at a nearby shop, with no belonging. As the cyclone intensified, she pondered shifting elsewhere, but no one would offer her shelter with her furniture. Amphan rendered her homeless. With no food in sight, workers like her were at the mercy of a few people who offered relief in the form of rice, which sufficed for a meal throughout the day. She had to find a house elsewhere. She eventually found a small room to live in, but her source of income did not return, causing her to lead a miserable life. Her lack of income has caused her debts to rise, especially for rent and groceries. She received cash support from UN Women as a victim of Cyclone Amphan, which she used to purchase household essentials and kitchen utensils. She has no family, who would offer her some help or support at her time of need, let alone some food. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, she could earn something, but since the outbreak, she still has not regained her livelihood. For the last six months, she has to rely on whatever relief aid she can get her hands on, and nothing else.

Dining Room, 17th Century

A few nice family meals images I found:

Dining Room, 17th Century

This room represents the private dining room in the home of a prosperous family in the late seventeenth century.
The family no longer ate with the servants in a communal hall as they had done in the mediaeval house. The development of the brick chimney, which moved the fireplace to the side of the room, away from the centre, allowed houses to be split into different levels and smaller more private rooms.
The beams, panelling and furniture are all made of oak. When new this room appeared a lot brighter, as the wood has darkened considerably with age. The furniture is decoratively carved and two pieces are even dated: the cradle is marked ‘1697’ and the large oak cupboard ‘1698’. Such cupboards were known in parts of Yorkshire as ‘Bride Wains’ as they were traditionally taken to a bridge’s new home on a wagon.
[York Castle Museum]

Founded in 1938, York Castle Museum is housed in buildings that used to form the prisons.
The prison buildings were built throughout the c18th – the county jail between 1701-05 by William Wakefield, the Assize Courts between 1773-77 and Female Prison between 1780-83, both by John Carr (1723–1807). By the c19th these buildings were deemed unsuitable and a new prison, in a Tudor Gothic style, was designed by Peter F Robinson (1776–1858) and George Townsend Andrews (1804–55). York Prison was closed in 1929 and demolished in 1935, leaving behind Clifford’s Tower and the c18th buildings which were then repurposed as the museum by Dr John Lamplugh Kirk (1869-1940).
