San_Juan_Islands_National_MonumenT.jpg

San Juan Islands became a National Monument in 2015, after their statehood.
Situated in the northern reaches of Salish Sea, the San Juan Islands are a uniquely beautiful archipelago of more than 450 islands, rocks, and pinnacles. Within this area, the San Juan Islands National Monument encompasses nearly 1,000 acres on 75 rocks and islands. Woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands are intermixed with rocky balds, bluffs, intertidal areas, and sandy beaches. This wide array of habitats supports an equally varied collection of wildlife. Blacktail deer, river otter, mink, and a diversity of birdlife—including golden and bald eagles, the marbled murrelet, and the recently reintroduced western bluebird—thrive in this mild climate. Orcas, seals, and porpoises also attract a regular stream of wildlife watchers. With two historic lighthouses and a 12,000-year heritage of Coast Salish communities, the historical landscape is equally evocative.

Small description of this finnish sport
Pesäpallo is a combination of traditional ball-batting team games and North American baseball. Pesäpallo was invented by Lauri "Tahko" Pihkala in the 1920s. Pesäpallo has changed with the times and grown in popularity.

The basic idea of pesäpallo is similar to that of baseball: the offense tries to score by hitting the ball successfully and running through the bases, while the defense tries to put the batter and runners out. One of the most important differences between pesäpallo and baseball is that the ball is pitched vertically, which makes hitting the ball, as well as controlling the power and direction of the hit, much easier. This gives the offensive game more variety, speed, and tactical aspects compared to baseball. The fielding team is forced to counter the batter's choices with defensive schemes and anticipation.

The manager has an important role in pesäpallo, leading the offense by giving signals to the players using a multicoloured red fan. The defensive team play is directed by the manager's orders and hand signals by the fielders.
Pesäpallo was a demonstration sport at the 1952 Summer Olympics, held in Helsinki, Finland.

Siberian soldiers and former Soviet soldiers that had retired on Berlin after Doomsday make a tribute every 2 of May to honour the dead in the Battle of Berlin.
The Soviet memorial is located in the former British sector. Even during the height of the Cold War and throughout, right up to the creation of Prussia and the unification of Berlin into a capital city, Soviet troops travelled into former West Berlin each day to provide an honour guard to the memorial commemorating its dead. The British forces in the sector also provide an honour guard to respect those Soviet soldiers who fought with them as allies.

In 2020, some alive WW2 veterans, former soviet soldiers who survived in Berlin since Doomsday, the Prussian president and the New British, USA, and Siberian ambassadors in Prussia held a ceremony there of the 75 anniversary of the Battle of Berlin and the V-E day
