Big Sandy Creek (Illinois)
Big Sandy Creek, often called the Big Branch, is a tributary of the Illinois River in central Illinois.  It drains a large portion of southwestern Morgan County and southern Scott County.  The drainage of Big Sandy Creek includes Lake Jacksonville and the county seat of Scott County, Winchester, Illinois.

Most of the Big Sandy Creek drainage is intensely farmed arable land.  Because the land is sandy, nitrogen runoff due to fertilizer application is significant.  In addition, Jacksonville and Winchester drain their sewage into the creek.

Little Sandy Creek is a tributary of Big Sandy Creek.  The two streams combine shortly before discharging into the Illinois River opposite the hamlet of Montezuma, Illinois.  Sand discharged by the alluvial creeks may have helped form McEvers Island, a silt island in the Illinois River just below the mouth of the creek.

With those teams always easing through their groups, with the exception of Umeå in 2010–11, UEFA decided to give those a direct entry to the round of 32.

Vladimir Pravdin
Vladimir Sergeevich Pravdin, or Roland Jacques Claude Abbiate, codename LETCHIK ["Pilot"], (July 1, 1905 – August 2, 1962) was a senior NKVD officer and assassin working in Europe during the Great Terror.

He later became a senior Soviet intelligence officer in New York and Washington, DC where he oversaw several important Soviet agents, such as Harry Dexter White, Lauchlin Currie, and Judith Coplon.

Lauchlin Currie
Lauchlin Bernard Currie (8 October 1902 – 23 December 1993) was a Canadian economist best known for being President Franklin Roosevelt's chief economic advisor during World War II.

After Roosevelt's death, he led the first World Bank survey mission to Colombia and eventually settled there for the rest of his life, becoming an economic advisor to the Colombian government. This permanent relocation was not entirely voluntarily, as the U.S. had refused to renew his passport in 1954. This refusal was ostensibly because he was married to a non-US citizen and residing abroad, but was possibly influenced by the fact Currie had been named as a Soviet spy by two Soviet defectors and in nine partially decrypted VENONA cables sent by Soviet agents. He was never charged with a crime related to espionage or security violations;  debate remains whether he knowingly collaborated with agents of the Soviet Union.
Vera Tschechowa
Vera Rust (22 July 1940 – 3 April 2024), known as Vera Tschechowa, was a German producer, director, screenwriter, and actress of Russian descent. She appeared in more than 50 films between 1957 and 1996. She was widely known as Elvis Presley's companion, particularly in connection with his Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine (OPV) public booster-advocacy and which they both undertook during Presley's first year in Germany with the U.S. Army (1959).

Her mother, Ada Tschechowa, was the daughter of Michael Chekhov (nephew of the Russian playwright and short story writer, Anton Chekov) and Olga Chekhova. Vera's name appeared, on 6 June 1971, as one of 28 women under the banner "We've had abortions!" ("Wir haben abgetrieben!") on the cover page of the West German magazine Stern. In that issue, 374 women publicly stated that they had had pregnancies terminated, which at that time was illegal.

Vera Tschechowa died in Berlin on 3 April 2024, at the age of 83.

Stern (magazine)
Stern (pronounced [ʃtɛʁn] ⓘ, German for "Star", stylized in all lowercase) is an illustrated, broadly left-liberal, weekly current affairs magazine published in Hamburg, Germany, by Gruner + Jahr, a subsidiary of Bertelsmann. Under the editorship (1948–1980) of its founder Henri Nannen, it attained a circulation of between 1.5 and 1.8 million, the largest in Europe's for a magazine of its kind.

Unusually for a popular magazine in post-war West Germany, and most notably in the contributions to 1975 of Sebastian Haffner, Stern investigated the origin and nature of the preceding tragedies of German history. In 1983, however, its credibility was seriously damaged by its purchase and syndication of the forged Hitler Diaries. A sharp drop in sales anticipated the general fall in newsprint readership in the new century.  By 2019, circulation had fallen under half a million.
