The MELS Movement of Botswana is an anti-revisionist Marxist-Leninist communist party in Botswana without parliamentary representation. Themba Joina, a practicing lawyer, is the president of the organization. The name MELS is derived from (Karl) Marx, (Friedrich) Engels, (Vladimir) Lenin and (Joseph) Stalin.

MELS emerged as a study group inspired by Mao Zedong and Pan-Africanism, founded at the Shashe Senior Secondary School in 1984. Its founding general secretary was Christopher Phatshwe. The basic political documents of the movement were drafted by Christopher Phatshswe and Thomson Proctor. Branches of the movement were formed at different educational institutions, such as the University of Botswana, Senior Secondary Schools and teacher training colleges. According to Joina, the group had contacts with the Black Consciousness Movement of Azania (BCM(A)) and the Pan-Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) in neighbouring South Africa and MELS activists received political trainings from these groups. The MELS group constituting itself as a political party in 1994. Following Phatshwe's death, Mosalage Ditshoto became the new general secretary of the party. As of 2008, Mpho Mokano served as the youth secretary of the party.

The MELS Movement advocates socialist policies, calling for support to unemployed and the setting up of Student Representative Councils across the country. MELS Movement decries the Botswana Democratic Party rule as 'neo-colonial'. Regarding regional issues, MELS Movement opposes the positions of Ian Khama's government towards the political situation in Zimbabwe (charging the Botswana government with having sided with the Movement for Democratic Change in Zimbabwean politics). At the 2011 annual delegates conference of the party in Molepolole, Joina condemned the NATO attack on Libya and called on the African Union to intervene.

At the time of the 1994 parliamentary election MELS joined the United Democratic Front, a coalition of parties opposed to both the BDP and the BNF. No MELS nor any other UDF candidate was able to get elected.  The party contested the 1999 general election, but merely received twenty-two votes (0.01% of the national vote). Prior to the election, Joina stated that the party only possessed one campaign vehicle and thus party activists had to move by foot to reach voters. Following the election the MELS Movement candidate in the Gaborone West constituency, Ndiye Tlhatlogang, charged the Independent Electoral Commission with irregularities.

At the 2009 general election, the party presented candidates in four parliamentary constituencies and two in local constituencies. None were elected. In total the party got 292 votes (0.05% of the national vote). The party contested the 2010 by-election in the Tonota North parliamentary constituency, fielding Mbayani Tshekedi Phalalo as its candidate.

The Residency Museum in York, Western Australia is a single-storey, heritage-listed building in the Victorian Georgian style. It is associated with the also heritage-listed Old York Hospital.

The Residency 
Built around 1852 as a cottage housing the Depot Superintendent, this building is now the last remaining part of York's Convict Depot.

The oldest section was built from hand-made bricks that bore the stamp of the broad arrow, meaning they were the property of the Crown, but which came to represent structures constructed by convicts.

In the 1860s the cottage was occupied by the medical officer attached to the Depot Hospital, Dr Robert McCoy.
In 1867, after several complaints to the colonial governor about the lack of suitable official accommodation for himself and his family, Resident Magistrate Walkinshaw Cowan moved from his property at Mile Pool to the cottage.  During his tenancy, the cottage was extended to accommodate his large family and became known as The Residency.

After the Old York Hospital, located on the adjacent site, was constructed in 1896, it did not have the space to provide a maternity hospital and the building was adapted for this use.  As a maternity hospital, the building accommodated a maternity and labour ward, nurses' bed/sitting room, duty room and in the adjoining structure, a store, kitchen and maid's room. 

In 1926, a bathroom, toilet and new verandah were added to the northern wall of the central court and the building became the Matron's Quarters. 

The building continued to be used as part of the Old York Hospital complex until 1963 when a new hospital and nurses' quarters were built in York.

The building was unoccupied and neglected until the early 1970s, when the building was saved from disrepair by the efforts of The York Society which raised $6,000 to have the building preserved and it became The Residency Museum.  The funds were used for restoration.  "Temporary additions and lean-tos were removed and the building renovated as nearly as possible to [its state] when Walkinshaw Cowan was Resident Magistrate in the 1860s."

The Residency Museum 

The building opened as a Municipal Museum in 1972, managed by the Shire of York, with help from community volunteers.

The Residency Museum houses early colonial artefacts and has changing exhibitions.

The Middle Vaitarna Dam is a notable dam located in Maharashtra, India. With a height of , it is the third tallest dam in the state and is constructed using roller compacted concrete.
 
Situated in Kochale village in Thane, the dam was built in 2012 on the Vaitarna river. It stands at an elevation of  and serves the crucial purpose of impounding 455 million liters of water, which is essential to meet Mumbai's growing water demands. Currently, the city receives only 3,400 million liters per day (Mld) while the demand stands at 4,000 Mld. To address this shortfall, the water from the dam is planned to be transported via a  pipeline to the Bhandup treatment plant for delivery to the city.

The project received partial funding from the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. The implementation of the project resulted in the submergence of more than  of land, including approximately  of forests. Furthermore, the project had an impact on eight villages and various adivasi padas in the area. Regrettably, only 35 families who lost their homes were provided rehabilitation in a colony near the project site in Kochale village. A visit to the rehabilitation colony in 2012 and again in January 2014, a year after the affected families moved in, revealed an alarming lack of construction quality.
