title: Partial-matching meet-in-the-middle attack

text:
Partial-matching is a technique that can be used with a MITM attack. Partial-matching is where the intermediate values of the MITM attack,  and , computed from the plaintext and ciphertext, are matched on only a few select bits, instead of on the complete state.

Uses
A limitation with MITM attacks is the amount of intermediate values that needs to be stored. In order to compare the intermediate values  and , all 's need to be computed and stored first, before each computed  can be compared against them.
If the two subciphers identified by the MITM attack both has a sufficiently large subkey, then an unfeasible amount of intermediate values need to be stored.
While there are techniques such as cycle detection algorithms that allows one to perform a MITM attack without storing either all values of  or , these techniques requires that the subciphers of the MITM attack are symmetric.
Thus it is a solution that allows one to perform a MITM attack in a situation, where the subkeys are of a cardinality just large enough to make the amount of temporary values that need to be stored infeasible.
While this allows one to store more temporary values, its use is still limited, as it only allows one to perform a MITM attack on a subcipher with a few more bits. As an example: If only 1/8 of the intermediate value is stored, then the subkey needs only be 3 bits larger, before the same amount of memory is required anyway, since

A in most cases far more useful feature provided by partial-matching in MITM attacks, is the ability to compare intermediate values computed at different rounds in the attacked cipher. If the diffusion in each round of the cipher is low enough, it might be possible over a span of rounds to find bits in the intermediate states that has not changed with a probability of 1. These bits in the intermediate states can still be compared.

The disadvantage for both of these uses, is that there will be more false positives for key candidates, which needs to be tested.
As a rule, the chance for a false positive is given by the probability , where  is the amount of matched bits.

Example
For a step-by-step example of the complete attack on KTANTAN, see the example on the 3-subset MITM page. This example only deals with the part that needs partial-matching. What is useful to know is that KTANTAN is a 254-round blockcipher, where each round uses 2 bits from the 80-bit key.

In the 3-subset attack on the KTANTAN family of ciphers, it was necessary to utilize partial-matching in order to stage the attack. Partial-matching was needed, because the intermediate values of the plain- and ciphertext in the MITM attack, were computed at the end of round 111 and at the start of round 131, respectively. Since they had a span of 20 rounds between them, they could not be compared directly.

The authors of the attack, however, identified some useful characteristics of KTANTAN that held with a probability of 1. Due to the low diffusion per round in KTANTAN (the security is in the number of rounds), they found out by computing forwards from round 111 and backwards from round 131 that at round 127, 8 bits from both intermediate states would remain unchanged. (It was 8 bits at round 127 for KTANTAN32. It was 10 bits at round 123 and 47 bits at round 131 for KTANTAN48 and KTANTAN64, respectively). by only comparing the 8 bits of each intermediate value, the authors was able to orchestrate a MITM attack on the cipher, despite there being 20 rounds between the two subciphers.

Using partial-matching increased the amount of false positives, but nothing that noticeably increased the complexity of the attack.

title: Frank Luce (cricketer)

text:
Frank Mowbray Luce (26 April 1878 – 9 September 1962) was an English cricketer whose first-class cricket career spanned 25 matches for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club between 1901 and 1911. A right-handed batsman and occasional left-arm bowler of an unknown style, Luce scored 754 runs at a batting average of 18.39. He played in only three seasons – 1901, 1907 and 1911 – because of his career in the Indian Civil Service in Bengal.

Luce was born in Gloucester. He was educated at Cheltenham College and played cricket for his school. For his college he opened the bowling frequently, taking three wickets against Haverford College on 29 June 1896. He also scored 71 batting in the lower order against Marlborough College on 3 July, followed by a score of 90 against Clifton College on 8 July. He then took seven wickets across a match against Haileybury College in August, then another seven in a match against Liverpool Cricket Club in 1897.

His first-class career began in 1901 with two matches of the County Championship. His debut on 13 May against Nottinghamshire saw him make scores of zero and 28. He made two against Middlesex at Lord's Cricket Ground on 30 May, and did not play again until 1907.

He returned in June 1907 against Worcestershire and made his maiden half-century, scoring fifty exactly. He played 10 matches in total that year, scoring 295 runs at 19.66. He returned for 13 games in 1911, scoring 429 runs at 18.65 including two more half-centuries. He died in Reading, Berkshire in 1962.

title: Hollywood and Swine

text:
Hollywood and Swine is a website that posts satirical articles about Hollywood's A-list stars and show business news. Hollywood and Swine was created in January 2012 in Hollywood, CA by co-founders Andy Marx and William McArdle, who for a time remained anonymous. The idea for the website was inspired by the satirical news source The Onion, and the name originates from the road intersection of Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood, CA. Hollywood and Swine uses photoshopped images and over-the-top headlines to play off of real news stories by adding a fake twist. Their efforts are supported by advertising sales. Hollywood and Swine'''s slogan is "So many pigs...so little time". Marx and McArdle stated that "the key [of Hollywood and Swine] is to do something so funny that you can get away with being tasteless" (The Guardian, 2012). Hollywood and Swine has fast become a regular news source for those looking to the lives of celebrities as a source of entertainment.

 Growth

In March of 2012, Hollywood and Swine got their big break from the publication of their satirical article "Starbucks Bans Screenwriters From All 19,435 Locations Worldwide; Writers Guild of America Vows to Fight the Decision". The article stated that writers bring a morose air into the coffee shop's environment and therefore were banned from coming inside. The article offended and outraged readers and consequently brought a considerable amount of traffic to the Hollywood and Swine website. Their second big break came from their article "Sharon Stone Named Suspect in Cannes Jewel Heist After Police Realize She Hasn't Been A Movie Star In Years". The article facetiously suggested that actress Sharon Stone was a suspect in a jewel heist because of her lack of movie presence at the time. The article created a great deal of controversy and resulted in an appreciable amount of traffic to the website. These two articles were catalysts in making Hollywood and Swine a Hollywood staple.

 Andy Marx and William McArdle

Andy Marx and William McArdle are the co-founders and writers of Hollywood and Swine. Both Marx and McArdle attempted to stay anonymous, but in the end, their names were outed. Andy Marx is the grandson of both comedian and famed television and film actor Groucho Marx, and famed songwriter Gus Kahn. He is the son of Arthur Marx and Irene Kahn, and the brother of Steve Marx. Marx, in addition to being a journalist, is an author, photographer, and a musician. In addition to being a writer, McArdle is also a screenwriter and has written the television/movie scripts Unhitched, A Year of Living Without Her (written with Marx), Take Your Kid to Work Day (written with Marx), and Paroled (written with Marx).

 Reception

Although some find the Hollywood and Swine articles to be less than profound, many enjoy their take on the lives of the rich and famous. They are generally well received in Hollywood even by those whom they have written articles about. Actor Edward Burns, in reply to an article written about him stated, "It is mean spirited, but I got a good chuckle out of it. It was very funny" (The Guardian, 2012). On an average news day Hollywood and Swine has about 2,500-4,000 visitors. On a big news day, such as a day when an article of theirs goes viral, they can expect around 30,000 visitors to the site.

 Controversy

As one of their typical satirical posts, Hollywood and Swine released an article titled "Sharon Stone Named Suspect in Cannes Jewel Heist After Police Realize She Hasn't Been A Movie Star In Years". Without scanning the articles for validity first, the news outlets The Chicago Tribune and Yahoo! News'' both released the story as if it were real. Both received backlash for releasing satirical articles and mixing them with real news.

title: Dixie L. Leavitt

text:
Dixie L. Leavitt (born August 27, 1929) is an American entrepreneur and state legislator who served as a Republican member of the Utah State House of Representatives and Senate from 1963 to 1976, and from 1989 to 1992 from Utah's 24th house district and 11th and 29th senate districts. He is the founder of the Leavitt Group, one of the largest independent insurance brokerages in the nation, and is the father of former Utah governor Mike Leavitt.

Early life and family

Dixie L. Leavitt was born in St. George, Utah, and raised in the town of Bunkerville, in the state of Nevada. He attended Virgin Valley High School, where he served as student body president and was an all-state basketball player. After high school, Dixie went to Branch Agricultural College (BAC) in Cedar City, Utah, where he was yearbook editor and student body president, and became the institution's first student to letter all four years in both football and track. He married Anne Okerlund in 1950. Dixie and his wife Ann reared a family of six sons.

Several of the Leavitt sons followed their father in the family insurance business.

Dixie Leavitt is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Early career

Dixie's plan throughout college was to become a schoolteacher. In 1951, after graduating from BAC, he began teaching fourth grade at Cedar West Elementary School.

After that first year, during the summer of 1952, Dixie got a job selling insurance. Though he fully intended to return to teaching in the fall, during the week before school began, the manager of the insurance company paid him a visit and urged him to stay in the insurance business. Dixie loved the business and believed he could prosper, so he decided to remain.

Dixie's first insurance office was a desk in his family's small basement apartment. His business prospered and in 1959, Dixie partnered with his brother Bert Leavitt to create the first Leavitt Group affiliated agency. Dixie created the model based on the principle of aligned interests between the Leavitt Group (which maintains contractual control) and its local managing co-owners (who maintain client control).

Dixie's business grew as he partnered with other individuals and insurance agencies using the 60/40 ownership arrangement. This unique, new model worked because sharing significant ownership and profits provided the natural incentives to make each agency thrive. Unlike a typical aggregator, The Leavitt Group's "60/40" model gave independent agents a new alternative to their growth and perpetuation needs. The local manager could remain an owner and take responsibility for the local agency culture. As a result, numerous agencies have embraced this model, and today the Leavitt Group is ranked as one of the largest privately held insurance brokerages in the United States.

Utah State Legislature

Dixie served 18 years in the Utah State Legislature (from 1963 to 1976 and from 1989 to 1992) As a legislator, he worked to obtain four-year status for the College of Southern Utah (CSU), which was among his first legislative successes. Another notable legislative achievement was his bill that became the Utah Higher Education Act of 1969. One of the crowning accomplishments of his service in the Utah State Senate was the advancement to university status of Southern Utah University.

Religious and community service

Dixie also served three years as president of the Leeds England Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Leeds, England. As a mission president, he presided over 100 missionaries, directing the affairs of the mission organization, its people and assets. After this ecclesiastical service, he formed Leavitt Land and Investments and the Dixie and Anne Foundation—one purpose of which is to provide and manage scholarship housing for Southern Utah University students.

title: Leonidas D. Marinelli

text:
Leonidas D. Marinelli (28 November 1906 – 13 September 1974) was the American radiological physicist who is best known for founding the field of Human Radiobiology and developing the Marinelli Beaker.

Early life and education

Marinelli was born of Italian parents in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November 28, 1906, eldest son of 6 children of bank owner Vincenzo Marinelli and Amelia Sammartino Marinelli. He was 11 when his father died of a heart attack. He then returned with his widowed mother and her children to the family seat in Agnone, Italy, where the Marinelli family established their bell foundry in the 12th century.  Leonidas graduated the Volta Institute of Naples in October, 1925, with highest honors and a gold Queen Victoria coin. Two months after his nineteenth birthday, he emigrated to New York City and worked as a meter tester while studying at Cooper Union Night School of Electrical Engineering. In 1929, he was hired by Dr. Gioacchino Failla, former student of Marie Curie, to the biophysical laboratory at Memorial Cancer Hospital, New York City, known today as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center). A few months later, Leonidas measured the gamma ray intensities of radium, previously unquantified, in electrostatic units which were convertible to the x-ray roentgen unit. This made possible the comparison of xrays and gamma rays, later useful to evaluations of cancer therapies. By 1933, he coauthored his first publication with Failla, Edith Quimby, and John E. Rose. In 1935, he became Assistant Physicist. In 1938, he completed all course requirements for the PhD at Columbia University and had published 5 papers in radiological journals.

Career
Marinelli became an independent scientist in the 1940s. In 1941, he published papers that dealt with post-irradiation blood studies and early tracer work on cancer. In February, 1942, he published the theoretical basis for internal radiation dosimetry that provided the basis for nuclear medicine. In 1942, Marinelli established the principles for dosage determination of internal radioisotopes in the human body. In 1946, he developed the systematic dosimetry to distribute radioactive iodine to treat all locations of the metastases of a patient's thyroid cancer. This breakthrough was followed by autoradiography techniques and a Review of Modern Physics report on beta rays. The explosive growth of radiation medicine enlarged his responsibilities to the Head of Physics at Memorial-Sloan Kettering Institute.

In 1948, he added to his publication of internal radiation dosimetry the supplementary biological considerations contributed by Edith Quimby. In the same year, he moved to the Argonne National Laboratory, with a position on the University of Chicago faculty. Here, with John Rose, he provided early leadership and scientific direction of the Radiological Physics Division and the Biology and Medical Research Division. In 1950, he invented the Whole Body Counter that directly detected radioactive elements emitted from individuals who were previously contaminated in factories using radium, in nuclear industries, or by nuclear fallout. In 1953, he improved the "twin" scintillation low-level gamma-ray crystal spectrometry method to detect and locate elements that are naturally radioactive in the human body. These methods were quickly copied in laboratories throughout the world and yielded insights into the human metabolisms of many elements and their compounds. In 1956, he developed the twin scintillator method for dosimetry and spectrometry of fast neutrons, and its application to the measurement of cosmic-ray neutron background. Using this method, his investigations obtained the total content of natural potassium in the human body.

He authored review articles on dosimetry in the Annual Review of Nuclear Science, in Radiation Biology, and in the Dosimetry, Sonderdruck aus Handbuch der Medizinischen Radiologie. His studies of physics dealt with electron diffusion from point sources in air, and with the cosmic ray background. In radiology he pioneered the detection of minimal burdens of radioactivity in humans, studying their distribution and variation in tissues and the epidemiology of chronic low levels of radiation. The Center for Human Radiobiology, which now has the responsibility for all AEC-supported research on the effects of internally deposited radioisotopes, grew out of his effort.

Inventions and patents
In 1950, Marinelli pioneered the Whole Body Counter, a low-level gamma-ray detector, and applied it to study the long-term effects of radium in people injected with radium in the 1920s and 1930s.   The WBC used thallium-activated sodium iodide crystals.   In radiology, he detected radium distribution and variation in tissues, and the epidemiology of chronic low levels of radiation

US Patent 2,795,703A - Isadore B. Berlman and Leonidas D. Marinelli, "Apparatus for counting fast neutrons in the presence of gamma rays", issued 1957, applied for 1954.  Under military supervision, this patent was assigned to the Atomic Energy Commission.

Marinelli devised and applied the “twin” scintillator method for the dosimetry and spectrometry of fast neutrons to the measurement of cosmic neutron background. His spectrometric method was copied in many laboratories throughout the world and has yielded insights into the human metabolisms of many elements and their compounds.

Marinelli beaker
In 1943,  Marinelli devised a beaker to analyze the radioactive liquids in the systematic dosimetry of radioactive iodine for metastasized thyroid cancer.  The original version of the Marinelli beaker,   consisted of a pyrex/glass laboratory beaker with a central hollow tube projecting from the bottom. A detector, usually a glass GM tube designed for gamma counting, was positioned in the central tube while the beaker was filled with the sample. Since the sample effectively surrounded the detector, the counting efficiency was greater than would be the case if the sample were in any other type of container.

The following footnote regarding the Marinelli beaker is found in a report by R.F. Hill, G.J. Hine and L.D. Marinelli (1950) of the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York: "This equipment first designed by one of the present authors (L.D.M.) and in use in this laboratory since 1943, can now be obtained from Technical Associates, Inc. Glendale, California."

title: James Alexander (1769–1848)

text:
James Alexander (1769 – 12 September 1848) was an Irish-born officer of the British East India Company who sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in two periods from 1812 to 1832.

Born in County Londonderry, Alexander joined the East India Company in 1784, and later became  a partner in a merchant bank in Calcutta.  His time in India gained him huge wealth.

He returned to the United Kingdom in 1818, and bought an estate in Hampshire. In 1820, he and his brother, Josias, jointly purchased the rotten borough of Old Sarum from their cousin, the 2nd Earl of Caledon, who had been arranging the return of James to Parliament since 1812, having previously arranged the return of another brother, Henry Alexander.

title: Deportations of the Ingrian Finns

text:
Deportations of the Ingrian Finns were a series of mass deportations of the Ingrian Finnish population by Soviet authorities. Deportations took place from the late 1920s to the end of World War II. They were part of the Genocide of the Ingrian Finns.

Background
Lutheran Finns had lived in Ingria for over 400 years, since the period of Swedish rule. They had immigrated there from Finland and the Karelian Isthmus and eventually started referring to themselves as Ingrian Finns. In 1919 the population of the Ingrian Finns was 132,000 in Ingria and an additional 10,000 in Petrograd. The Finnish-Soviet peace treaty of 1920 had granted Ingrian Finns a degree of national autonomy. A national district was formed in 1928 and Finnish was used in schools, radio and administration.

Deportations

Soviet repression of the Ingrian Finns started at the same time as the forced collectivization in the Soviet Union in 1928. Between 1929 and 1931 Soviet authorities deported 18,000 people from areas near the Finnish border, consisting of up to 16% of the total Ingrian Finnic population. All remaining Finns in four border parishes were deported in 1936 and replaced with Russians. In 1937 all Finnish-language schools, publications, broadcasts, and Ingrian Lutheran churches were closed down. During the 1937–1938 Finnish Operation of the NKVD, 4,000 Ingrian Finns were shot and over 10,000 deported to prison camps. By 1939 the Ingrian Finnish population had decreased to about 115,000, which was about 10% reduction compared to the 1926 population figures and the Ingrian Finn national district was abolished.

Following the German invasion of the Soviet Union and the beginning of the Leningrad Blockade, in early 1942 all 20,000 Ingrian Finns remaining in Soviet-controlled territory were deported to Siberia. Most of the Ingrian Finns living in German-occupied territory were evacuated to Finland in 1943–1944. After Finland sued for peace, it was forced to return the evacuees. Soviet authorities did not allow the 55,733 people who had been handed over to settle back in Ingria, and instead deported them to central regions of Russia. The main regions of Ingrian Finns forced settlement were the interior areas of Siberia, Central Russia, and Tajikistan.

Aftermath
The deportations led to the rapid ethnic assimilation of Ingrian Finns. After 1956, return to Ingria was officially allowed but made unfeasible in practice; as a result, many settled in the nearby Finnic regions of Estonia and Karelia. In 1989 there were 18,000 Finns in Ingria and Leningrad, and a total of 67,813 in the Soviet Union, with only 34.7 percent declaring Finnish as their main language. Ingrian and other Finns were not differentiated in the official census. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, attempts began to revive Ingrian Finnish cultural life in Ingria, but at the same time, many of them moved to Finland.

title: Narcis Coman

text:
Narcis Coman (born 5 November 1946 in Giurgiu) is a retired Romanian footballer who played as a goalkeeper and was selected Romanian Footballer of the Year in 1978.

Club career

Narcis Coman was born on 5 November 1946 in Giurgiu, Romania and grew up as a fan of CCA București (for whom he would get to play when the team was named Steaua) and of goalkeeping after seeing a game of the team on TV, being impressed by how Ion Voinescu defended the goal post. He started playing football as a goalkeeper when he was about 12 years old with his cousin, going three years later at local club, Olimpia where he was coached by Marin Anastasovici, afterwards moving at neighboring team, Victoria. He started playing senior level football at ȘN Oltenița in the regional championship, helping it promote to Divizia C where after playing only two games he was transferred by UTA Arad and he made his Divizia A debut on 26 September 1965 under coach Nicolae Dumitrescu, managing to keep a clean sheet in a 2–0 victory against Universitatea Craiova. After one season he was transferred by Dinamo București who only used him two weeks later as a exchange player for fellow goalkeeper Spiridon Niculescu from Argeș Pitești. At Argeș he spent two seasons, making his debut in European competitions, playing all six games from the 1966–67 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, as the team eliminated Sevilla and Toulouse in the first two rounds, being defeated in the third round with 1–0 on aggregate by Dinamo Zagreb who eventually won the competition, also earning a helping the team earn a runner-up position in his second season spent there. After Argeș's away game from the second leg of the confrontation against Sevilla which ended 2–2, in the following day he was praised by the Marca newspaper:"Coman managed some phenomenal saves and blocked Sevilla. Even though he conceded two goals, the Romanian closed the gate in some difficult phases", also Sevilla's coach wanted to transfer him at the team but he and the team's officials did not accept as transfers outside the country were not allowed by Romania's communist regime and if he would have accepted the offer he would have risked to not see his family again. Afterwards Coman went to play two seasons for Dinamo București, in the first one earning a runner-up position in the league. After a short period spent in his native Giurgiu at Divizia B club, Dunărea, he returned to Divizia A football when he went to play for Steaua București with whom he won the only trophy of his career, the 1970–71 Cupa României in which however he did not play in the final as coach Ștefan Kovács chose Carol Haidu for the eventual 3–2 victory in front of Dinamo. During his period of four seasons spent with The Military Men he also played four games in the 1971–72 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign, as the team reached the quarter-finals by eliminating Hibernians and Barcelona, being eliminated after 1–1 on aggregate on the away goal rule by Bayern Munich when he was congratulated for the way he defended his goal post after the 0–0 from the second leg  by the Germans goalkeeper Sepp Maier. Then he went at SC Bacău in Divizia B, where in the first season he helped the team promote to the first league where he played in the following season before transferring at back to Divizia B at CS Târgoviște. As with Bacău, he helped the team from Târgoviște gain promotion to Divizia A after one season where he would have the best period in his career, managing to become the first goalkeeper to earn the Romanian Footballer of the Year award in 1978. An important match which helped him achieve this performance was keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 against Universitatea Craiova for which he received a 10 in the Sportul newspaper. After making his last Divizia A appearance on 12 March 1980, playing for CS Târgoviște in a 2–2 against Jiul Petroșani, Coman went back to his native Giurgiu to play for FCM where he retired after playing only a few games, having a total of 214 Divizia A appearances and 12 matches in European competitions (including 8 in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup).

International career
Narcis Coman played 8 games (12 including Romania's Olympic team games) at international level for Romania, making his debut on 29 October 1967 under coach Constantin Teașcă in a friendly against Poland in which he played all the minutes, managing to keep a clean sheet as the game ended 0–0. He played injured in a 3–0 away loss against Portugal at the 1970 World Cup qualifiers and as he conceded three goals, coach Angelo Niculescu blamed him for the loss, however Coman claims that he told Niculescu about his injury before the game, this controversy resulting in a absence of 10 years from the national team's squad for Coman until 1978 when he was called up by Ștefan Kovács to play in a 1–0 away loss against Spain at the Euro 1980 qualifiers. His last appearance for the national team took place on 11 December 1978 in a friendly which ended 1–1 in front of Israel.

Personal life
Narcis Coman who was nicknamed "Campionul reflexelor" (The Champion of Reflexes) by the press for his spectacular saves, claimed that he did not enjoy his spells at Dinamo and Steaua because of the very strict rules that were at those clubs but he enjoyed the spells at Argeș Pitești and CS Târgoviște. He was known for playing most of his career without gloves because he felt that he had a better grip that way, as a consequence ending up with three broken fingers and he was also known for his bohemian lifestyle outside the field, being considered a ladies' man and for liking to party and drink in pubs, especially with his friend and Argeș Pitești colleague Nicolae Dobrin, claiming that these activities did not affect his performance on the football field. In 2009 Coman was decorated with the Ordinul "Meritul Sportiv" – (The Medal "The Sportive Merit") and in 2013 he received the Honorary Citizen of Giurgiu title. A book about him was written Gelu Brebenel, called Narcis Coman - prin viață fără mănuși (Narcis Coman - through life without gloves) which was published in 2017.

title: Alexandru Boc

text:
Alexandru "Sandu" Boc (born 3 June 1946) is a retired Romanian footballer, who played as a defender.

Club career

Alexandru Boc was born on 3 June 1946 in Vașcău and played football as a defender, being known for using often the "Oxford procedure" for the public's delight which consisted of him letting the ball pass over or past him, and when the forward was about to gain possession of it, he would reach back and take it with the exterior side of the foot. Boc made his Divizia A debut on 11 October 1964, playing for Petrolul Ploiești in a 3–0 victory against CSMS Iași. In the following season he helped Petrolul win the 1965–66 Divizia A title, being used by coach Constantin Cernăianu in 26 matches in which he scored one goal, being the player with the highest grade point average in the entire championship according to the Sportul newspaper. He also played three games for The Yellow Wolves in the first round of the 1966–67 European Cup against Liverpool which include a 3–1 victory in which he scored a goal, however they did not manage to qualify to the next round. In 1967 he went to play for two seasons at Dinamo București, helping the club win the 1967–68 Cupa României in the first one. After one season in which he didn't play because he was in jail and another one spent in Divizia B at Sportul Studențesc București, Boc returned to play in Divizia A at Rapid București, helping the club win the 1971–72 Cupa României and took part in Rapid's 1971–72 UEFA Cup campaign, playing five games, as the team reached the eight-finals, eliminating Napoli and Legia Warsaw, being eliminated by the team who would eventually win the competition, Tottenham, also taking part in the 1972–73 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign, playing four games, helping the team reach the quarter-finals, eliminating Landskrona BoIS and Rapid Wien against whom he scored a goal, being eliminated by Leeds United who reached the final. He reunited with coach Cernăianu at Universitatea Craiova, winning the 1973–74 Divizia A title in which he played 32 games and scored one goal and at the last game of the season against Petrolul Ploiești which ended 0–0, Boc received a grade 10 in the Sportul newspaper as the team earned the point that mathematically made them champions. Alexandru Boc made his last Divizia A appearance on 10 December 1975 in a 3–0 away loss against FCM Reșița, having a total of 224 matches and 12 goals scored in the competition, also having a total of 22 games and two goals scored in European competitions.

International career
Alexandru Boc played five matches at international level for Romania, making his debut under coach Bazil Marian in a 1–1 against Uruguay, which took place on 4 January 1967 in Montevideo on Estadio Gran Parque Central. He played in two victories against Switzerland and a 2–2 against Greece at the successful 1970 World Cup qualifiers, however he missed the opportunity be part of the squad that went at the final tournament, being in jail at that time. After Romania's 1–0 victory from Lausanne against Switzerland at the 1970 World Cup qualifiers, journalist Eugen Barbu praised Boc in the Flacăra magazine:"If Nicolae Ceaușescu would give Boc the right to play in Europe and sell him, he could build a city with the money!".

Conviction
In 1969, during an evening spent at the Athenee Palace where he was staying with actor Cornel Patrichi among others at a table, a man threw an empty cigarette pack in Patrichi's glass, then a verbal confrontation between them started and Boc intervened and punched the man, afterwards the man was beaten by other people, ending with his leg broken. The man beaten up was a Securitate captain, so Boc confessed what happened and took all the responsibility of the situation on himself, relying on the fact that he was a football player at Dinamo București and wouldn't suffer any consequences but at the trial Patrichi sided with the Securitate captain. He was sentenced to a jail term of two years and a half, spending the first six months of the conviction in a relaxed environment having a telephone and a TV in his cell from the headquarters of the Militia Command in the center of Bucharest, where the minors were also imprisoned. After that period he was close to obtain a pardon from his conviction, but the Securitate found out about the light detention he had and at the pressure of Vasile Patilineț who found out that his wife had an affair with Boc and was a member of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party who on 7 September 1970 had a meeting to discuss his case with dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu himself participating in it where it was decided that he would not be granted the pardon. He was sent to the Văcărești prison, afterwards being moved to one of the toughest prisons in Romania, the Policolor colony where he was in an insanitary cell with many criminals and he had to wake up each day at 4 a.m. to work and at every three hours a black Volga car with members of the Central Committee would come to verify if he works, looking at his hands to see if they have calluses. His teammates from Dinamo would send him food and money, Cornel Dinu personally going to deliver the packages to him but because he was not allowed to go inside the prison, he would come through the back, entering through a cornfield to reach him at the prison's yard. After a total of 13 months spent in jail, Boc was released.

Personal life
Alexandru Boc was known for his success with women, being nicknamed "The ladies' man of Romanian football", having relationships among others with actresses Corina Chiriac and Aimée Iacobescu, volleyball player Elena Butnaru and was engaged with Salomeea Djanhanghir who was the granddaughter of the richest man on the planet at that time, the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The VIP magazine put Boc in the top 5 best Romanian men alongside Florin Piersic, Petre Roman, Ion Dichiseanu and Sergiu Nicolaescu. He was also an occasional film actor, playing alongside Romanian actors Toma Caragiu and Gheorghe Dinică in the 1975 comedy movie Nu filmăm să ne-amuzăm (We do not film to amuse ourselves) directed by Iulian Mihu.

title: Gabriela (2001 film)

text:
Gabriela is a 2001 American romance film, starring Seidy Lopez in the title role alongside Jaime Gomez as her admirer Mike. The film has been cited as an inspiration behind the Premiere Weekend Club, which supports Latino film-making.

Plot
Gabriela, engaged to be married to Patrick, feels more of a sense of duty than anticipation towards their planned wedding. On meeting her at the clinic where he works, Mike falls in love with Gabriela, and turns to his friend Douglas and his brother for advice. When he asks Gabriela to break off her engagement, she refuses and takes Patrick to Mexico to meet her family, leaving Mike trying to find a way to save his hopes of marrying her.

Soundtrack
The film's soundtrack was written by Craig Stuart Garfinkle and Leo Marchildon and released on Power Point Records. The track Gabriela Tribute is performed by Latin jazz musician Poncho Sanchez and his band.

Reception
The film received mixed reviews. Marc Salov, writing for the Austin Chronicle, likened Gabriela to a "melodramatic telenovela" and gave it one star out of five. Robert Koehler of Variety agreed, declaring that the film has "hardly enough substance to carry a 30-minute TV episode". However, epinions awarded Gabriela four stars out of five, noting that it is "not the same old love story".

Similarly, Linda Pliagas of Latin Style wrote "'Gabriela' is amazing. Seidy Lopez and Jaime Gomez set the screen on fire." and NuVisions wrote "Gabriela is a classic Hollywood love story with cutting edge wit. It's the most relevant Indie film since 'Sex, Lies and Videotape.".

title: MGM Park

text:
MGM Park is a baseball park in Biloxi, Mississippi. The home of the Double-A Biloxi Shuckers of the Southern League, it opened on June 6, 2015, and can seat up to 6,067 people. The stadium was the site of the 2019 Southern League All-Star Game. Though primarily a venue for Minor League Baseball, it has been the home of the Conference USA baseball tournament since 2017. Concerts have also been held at the venue.

Planning and construction

In January 2014, Ken Young purchased a majority interest in the Huntsville Stars, a Double-A Minor League Baseball team of the Southern League. The franchise relocated from Huntsville, Alabama to Biloxi, Mississippi, after the 2014 season. Upon arrival in Mississippi, the team would become known as the Biloxi Shuckers in reference to the city's oyster industry and seafood heritage.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held on January 23, 2014, before the Biloxi City Council approved the project's construction. Their final approval came on May 9, 2014, when they voted unanimously, without public discussion, to cancel its project management contract with Yates Construction. Because of this, the expected completion date of the ballpark was pushed from April 2015 to May 17, 2015. The city had decided to "separately bid each phase" of construction "rather than drafting specifications for the entire project", but the council instead would "bid the entire project". Yates Construction was awarded the new contract via a 5–2 vote by the Biloxi City Council on July 22, 2014.

MGM Resorts International purchased the naming rights to the stadium in September 2014 for a period of 20 years, naming it MGM Park.

Tenants and events

Minor League Baseball
Due to construction delays, the Shuckers played the first 54 games of their inaugural 2015 season on the road. The team's MGM Park home opener was played on June 6, 2015, versus the Mobile BayBears, a 4–3 victory.

Robert Bianco of USA Today gave it a highly positive review, praising the performances of the cast and "the depth of its characterizations and the individuality of its approach." Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com acclaimed the series and wrote, "With an amazing ensemble driven by great performances from top to bottom, an incredibly smart writers' room, brilliant callbacks to the original that feel more inspired than forced, and a filmmaking style that feels as cinematic as this grand Minnesotan tragedy deserves, Fargo is one of the most addictive new shows of the year." However, Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker criticized the series for its sexualized violence and its lack of ambiguity and pathos.
