Pokharan-II refers to test explosions of five nuclear devices, three on 11 May and two on 13 May 1998, conducted by India at the Pokhran test range. These nuclear tests resulted in a variety of sanctions against India by a number of major states, and were followed by nuclear testing by arch-rival Pakistan. On 18 May 1974 India exploded its first nuclear device code named Smiling Buddha. After about a quarter century, on Buddha Jayanti, 11 May 1998, Operation Shakti was carried out. Shakti (शक्ति in Sanskrit meaning 'Strength'), is also the name of the Hindu Goddess of strength. Shakti was the codename for Pokhran-II.

Revolution roller coaster
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
The Revolution, formerly known as Great American Revolution and La Revolución, is a steel roller coaster manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf of Germany and designed by Werner Stengel. The coaster is located in the Baja Ridge area of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. It opened on May 8, 1976 and was the world's first modern roller coaster to feature a vertical loop. It is an ACE Coaster Landmark.
The coaster was named after the American Revolution, which began in 1776, 200 years before the ride opened. Unlike almost all of the previous attempts to create looping roller coasters in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, Revolution's loop was clothoid loop-shaped instead of a completely circular. Eight days later, Corkscrew opened at Cedar Point on May 15, 1976 with a vertical loop and two corkscrews for a total of three inversions.

Battle of Palmito Ranch - last battle of the Civil War
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
The Battle of Palmito Ranch, also known as the Battle of Palmito Hill and the Battle of Palmeto Ranch, was fought on May 12 – May 13, 1865, during the American Civil War. The battle was fought on the banks of the Rio Grande about twelve miles east of Brownsville, Texas. In the kaleidoscope of events following the surrender of Robert E. Lee's army on April 9, Palmito Ranch was nearly ignored. It was the last major clash of arms in the war.

Old Man Mountain
The Old Man of the Mountain, also known as the Great Stone Face or the Profile, was a series of five granite cliff ledges on Cannon Mountain in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, USA that, when viewed from the correct angle, appeared to be the jagged profile of a face.
Defying attempts at preservation, including the use of cables and spikes for most of the 20th century, the formation collapsed to the ground between midnight and 2 a.m., May 3, 2003.

Together they undertook a gentle restoration of the vessel, and today Elbjørn appears with a beautiful mix of restaurant, bars, glassworks, shop, and museum.

Jens Vejmand memorial
Dania (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Dania.
Jens Nielsen, called Vejmand (roadworker), came to Tjørring in 1868 and in 1873 he began making cobblestones out of large rocks. He worked at this spot until he died in 1901. He was crippled, bad hands and partly blind with an eyeflap.
He is buried in Tjørring churchyard.
1902 the danish poet Jeppe Aakjær came here and met Jens' successor. He told Jeppe about Jens and got 25 Ører for it. When Jeppe Aakjær came home to his house Jenle he wrote the song about Jens sitting behind a shelter hammering stones. He finished it in 1905 and in 1907 the danish composer Carl Nielsen made the tunes to it.
