Talk:Miss Understood

Why is Mr Heimburg down as both Ashkenazi and Sephardi? Heimburg is scarcely a Sephardi name; does he have an Ashkenazi father and Sephardi mother? 81.134.14.236 19:42, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Exactly. Her Mom's family is from Istanbul. Elyaqim 20:14, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

notability?
is this person notable? seems like just an everyday drag queen. i see an entry at imdb but they look like bit parts.

I'm not sure if you didn't read the article, but since the subject is notable enough to have appeared in multiple television shows and movies as herself, has started a business that has provided entertainment to some of the most premiere events, is referred to in multiple publications in a Google search as a "downtown star", and is known in New York as a celebrity and a pioneer (per the interview that is included), yes, that clears the notability test. Tag removed. If there is any further question, I'll have the LGBT project handle inquiries since Miss Understood is a star most especially within that community; kind of our own Stokely Carmichael of sorts. --David Shankbone 12:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

i did read the article, it didn't have any citations. it says she was in "sex and the city" but isn't credited on imdb for that, so i'm guessing it was just a bit part. bit parts don't pass wiki's notability guidelines. the interview appears in an escort service website, not really a reliable source for wikipedia. she may be notable in thew new york drag community, but thats not enough for an article. i'm putting the tag back in till we can get some reliable sources that indicate she's notable.

none of the concerns above have been addressed. she is interviewed, but by an escort service. sorry chaps, that isn't encylcopedic or notable. do not remove the tag until this has been cleared up, either with proof of notability or a deletion of the article.

,, , seem to indicate notability to me. Sign your messages please, or I will ignore them. You have been warned three times and your only reason to not use them is to piss others off. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 15:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Dev -- assume good faith and be civil.  You can't warn people to stop editing.
 * Here's what one of the refs says: "Miss Understood, has enough difficulty rounding up three reasonably sober, mildly entertaining contestants every week. She's not going to become a stickler for rules and risk losing a weekly gig that pays her one hundred dollars and a free portion of sweet and sour pork.".  Doesn't sound notable to me.   Can you explain otherwise?
 * Sign your posts. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 17:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Dev: I think the criteria for notability per WP:Notability has now been established on the article and this page.  The IP pointing to one missing role on the IMDB, while ignoring the other roles, is not cause to maintain someone is unnotable.  The IP points to one source while ignoring the others and not doing her own due diligence.  In order for the notability tag to go up, the IP should make a case that this person is not notable, not just take issue with trifles and argue conjecture.  We aren't here to "prove it", although we already have.  Nice going Dev - have a nice day.  --David Shankbone 17:11, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Southern Tomb 23

Southern Tomb 23 is a sepulchre in Amarna, Egypt. It was used for the burial of Any, whose titles included, Royal scribe, Scribe of the offering-table of the Aten, Steward of the estate of Aakheperura (Amenhotep II).

Architectural features
The entrance is not completed, but the design was meant to include a portico. This feature was meant to be executed as two separate porches on either side of the colonnaded entryway. The portal shows customary scenes showing the King and the Queen. In this case they are accompanied by three daughters. The later form of the cartouches is found on the door jambs indicating that the tomb was inscribed after year 9 of Akhenaten.

The shorter version of the Great Hymn to the Aten appears in the entrance way. The hymn is followed by the name and titles of Any. He is said to be
 * The intimate of the King, whom the lord loves, the favorite whom the Lord of the Two Lands created by his bounty, who has reached the blessed reward by the favor of the King, the acting scribe of the King, beloved by him. Scribe of the Altar of the Lord of the Two Lands, Scribe of the Offering Table of the Aten in Akhetaten, Steward if the house of King Aa-kheperur-ra, Any.

The tomb's corridor design resembles some of the northern group of tombs. It has 2 unfinished porches on either side of the door and is only basically decorated. The walls are not decorated but a colored corniche runs along the top of the wall.

The burial shaft was cut into the floor of the corridor. A door on the wall of the shaft gives access to a room that extends underneath the shrine in the tomb. The shrine contains a statue of the deceased seated on a chair. He is seated on a platform and there is a set of chairs leading up to the platform. In this case it is clearly the deceased who is venerated and not the King or some god.

Votive stelae
When the tomb was first cleared by Barsanti in 1891 six stele donated by officials and a brother of Any for the burial were discovered.

Talk:Guar gum

Side effects
What are side effects as fiber supplement(E-Z Fiber) if any? Is it safe for patient with severe cerebral palsy?debnoshoes@hotmail.com

Info sources not appearing under References
I included many sources, which are numbered in the text. However they're not appearing as numbered footnotes under the headline named References. Could somebody please fix this?--Zymatik 17:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Internal links needed
If any of you are good at applying internal links, then please search the article for the following words and link them to their corresonding topics: coalescing → coalescence; esophageal → esophogus; RDI → reference daily intake--Zymatik 18:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Conflicting info about its pH stability
Moreover, in various web pages you may find descriptions of GG use in sauces as being useful in "highly acidic emulsions". However in "The Art of Suspending Particulates" by Cindy Hazen (Food Product Design™, Nov 2006) it is stated that dressings or marinades high in acidic vinegar or lemon juice can reduce the ability of guar gum due to degradation. So this is an area that needs to be further researched. I'm guessing that when GG is complexed (with either boron or calcium) then pH stability is improved due to cross-branching. So is GG's stability noticably improved in very hard water, or in yogurts and kefirs (all contain calcium)? --Zymatik 18:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

If you want to find out some info about guar gum have look at the oil inustrty, specifically fracture fluids. I've got a fair bit of expereince with the stuff. As far as I'm aware, guar is reasonably stable in all conditions (obviously there is reasonable limitations). However, I think the point about the acidic vinegar affecting its ability is largely due to it not hydrating. The Guar will not 'relax' under highly acidic conditions (or highly basic conditions). However, once hydrated it's reasonably stable.

Clarification needed about ice crystalization
The article's explanation about this property is currently quite vague. However, GG's use in frozen dairy foods is important enough to warrant additional research about this. So I temporarily plagiarized the adverb 'non-specifically', because at this point we have so little info, and it could be a clue as to finding additional info somewhere.--Zymatik 18:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Benefiber
The phrase: "The dietary fiber supplement Benefiber® (Novartis) consists of 100% partially hydrolyzed guar gum." was removed because Benefiber no longer uses guar gum, for financial reasons. They now use wheat gluten. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.22.37.222 (talk) 18:19, 7 March 2007 (UTC).

Sounds a bit dodgy
''Guar gum is a water-soluble fiber that acts as a bulk forming laxative, and as such, it is claimed to be effective in promoting regular bowel movements and relieve constipation and chronic related functional bowel ailments; such as diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, colitis and irritable bowel syndrome, among others. The increased mass in the intestines stimulates the movement of waste and toxins from the system, which is particularly helpful for good colon health, because it speeds the removal of waste and bacteria from the bowel and colon. In addition, because it is soluble, it is also able to absorb toxic substances (bacteria) that cause infective diarrhea.'' This section reads like a combination of good logical science and psuedoscience. The vague talk of "toxins" and "removing... bacteria from the bowel" definitely sound dodgy to me and I would request that this is reviewed and evidence is supplied.

Not to mention that "Several studies have found ...[citation needed]" is essentially an oxymoron. 188.103.122.15 (talk) 08:33, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

David P. Lowe

David Perley Lowe (August 22, 1823 – April 10, 1882) was an American lawyer and politician who served two terms as a representative from Kansas from 1871 to 1875.

Biography
He graduated from the Cincinnati Law College in 1851 and was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in Cincinnati, Ohio. He moved to Mound City, Kansas, in 1861 and continued the practice of law.

Career
He was a member of the State senate in 1863 and 1864 and served as a judge of the sixth judicial district 1867-1871. He moved to Fort Scott in 1870 and was elected as a Republican to the Forty-second and Forty-third Congresses (March 4, 1871 – March 3, 1875). He was chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining (Forty-third United States Congress) but declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1874.

After Congress
He was appointed chief justice of Utah Territory by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1875. He returned to Kansas and settled in Fort Scott, Bourbon County, and was again elected judge of the sixth judicial district of Kansas in 1879 and served until his death in Fort Scott, Kansas, April 10, 1882.

Legacy
Perhaps best remembered for his support of civil rights legislation, Lowe was quoted by the Supreme Court of the United States in 1961 in Monroe v. Pape, discussing Congressional debate of the 1871 Civil Rights Act (Ku Klux Klan Act): "While murder is stalking abroad in disguise, while whippings and lynchings and banishments have been visited upon unoffending American citizens, the local administrations have been found inadequate or unwilling to apply the proper corrective. Combinations, darker than the night [which] hides them, conspiracies, wicked as the worst felons could devise, have gone unwhipped of justice. Immunity is given to crime, and the records of the public tribunals are searched in vain for any evidence of effective redress."

Move Scandal Here
Anyone object? --Nissi Kim 04:24, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I do. What exactly are you asking?  SLUMGUM    yap    stalk   20:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

The Serie A scandal article is separate from the Serie A article. Look it up:

 * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serie_A_scandal_of_2006

Have a problem now? And I ment joining the two articles. --Nissi Kim 21:15, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Now you're making sense. You could add and  to the respective articles if you desire, but I feel that the articles should stay separate because the scandal article contains much more text than the Serie A article.  As an alternative you could link the scandal article from this page, because otherwise people like me wouldn't realise it existed.   SLUMGUM    yap    stalk   23:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * We can always get rid//edit some of the moot sentences in the scandal article. Yeah, I just realized this article is very weak, someone should fix this up a bit... --Nissi Kim 23:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * That Serie Scandal article should stay completely sepperate. In a few years, this scandal may have no reference to Serie A as a whole and hence should really stay seperate. Niall123 18:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Season 2005-06 has its own article, I do not see why it should go here, not to speak about merging the two articles.--Panairjdde 23:12, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Disagree. The Serie A scandal is very notable in its own right. Erath 10:58, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

 * STRONGLY disagree. The scandal is likely to be remembered long after the rest of the season is forgotten, especially if one or more top teams get bounced to Serie B or lower. — Dale Arnett 17:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Disagree the serie A article is basically more conceptual and explanatory, expaling how the thing works, and basically listing perfomrances, while this scandal is more of a historical event. Its like merging WWII into war, or world. It just wouldn't work. Philc  TECI 14:12, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Disagree with merger. The scandal is about football clubs AC Milan, Fiorentina, Juventus, and Lazio being involved in match fixing. If these clubs are found guilty, they would be demoted to Serie B/C and perhaps will not be allowed to participate in international matches as punishment (ex. UEFA Champions League). Serie A article is about the league (rules, qualification, winners, etc), not the 4 individual clubs who happen to be in Serie A. So really, this is not a Serie A scandal, but a nitty gritty investigation on Italian professional football. Proposal: Move scandal article to 2006 Italian professional football scandal asap. It's more accurate. :) --Noypi380 12:37, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Disagree with merger and proposal, it's not really more accurate as the only clubs that are accused of being involved in the scandal are in the Serie A, none from Serie B, therefore Serie A scandal is more specific than Italian professional football scandal and also more accurate. Yonatanh 00:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Disagree that scandal page should be moved here. Plus, now not only Serie A teams are involved, it has come out that Serie B teams are being investigated. The scope of the scandal is continually widening, and should not be solely merged with Serie A. --Drshabazz 14:53, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strongly Disagree I want to second the editors who noted that the scope of the investigation is widening and that the main Serie A article is (and should remain) concerned more with the abstractness of the league rather than a passing scandal. Vickser 00:46, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong disagree That article needs further expansion, is entirely legitimate as an independent topic and a merge would distort this article. Calsicol 09:20, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. The tag was removed as agreed by the consensus here. :) --Noypi380 07:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Why on earth does the text in the intro to this article not mention the scandal? I strongly believe (that whilst they are clearly separate articles) some mention of the scandal should be in the text of the article, rather than just a link at the bottom.--Gavinio 09:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Seems you are the only one think in this way. I agree you should be bold and "add information" missing, but is the information is there, and a discussion is ongoing, you should not take unilateral steps.--Panairjdde 10:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it really a unilateral step? The info isn't there - quite simply, the article is missing something that is of key interest - maybe a header at the top or whatever saying - "for info on the scandal" etc.  I'm not the most experienced wikipedian, so sorry if that was out of order - but from a random user's POV, upon finding the Serie A page, the most important issue at the moment (namely the aforementioned scandal) is nowhere near as obvious on that page as it could/should be, don't you agree?--Gavinio 15:06, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If you are interested on news about Serie A, just go to Serie A 2005-06. This is not the first nor the most important "scandal". Furthermore, the trial is just begun, nothing is settled yet.--Panairjdde 15:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * "This is not the first nor the most important "scandal"." Hehe, fair enough - speaks volumes about the state of Italian Football at the moment I suppose. Right, I'll leave it there then.  I still believe that some mention of an important event that is ongoing should be made in a wider article, but I'm quite happy to give up on this here if you think no current event tags or any mention in the text are appropriate.--Gavinio 12:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Er, can we not just add a disambiguation at the start of the article, no? "For the Serie A scandal, see..." (I'm sorry I can't do this myself, still a beginner.) Ryancolm 08:49, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Champions 2004/05 and 2005/06
Anyone know who will be awarded the tilte for the last two season after Juve had their revoked? Jimmmmmmmmm 20:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Either no one will be awarded the title or they will be given to Inter Milan, the best placed team who were not involved in the scandel. When Torino were stripped of the title many years back that years title was then left vacent so the title could remain vacent for the past 2 seasons again if that was anything to go by. Although I am just speculating there. We'll have to wait and see. Chad XIII 20:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * If Juventus don't win the appeal then the title will be vacant for those two seasons. 84.69.194.80 22:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Not that I don't trust you guys, but is there an official statement on this matter? Or does it hinge on the appeal?  SLUMGUM    yap    stalk    00:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

 * First championship has been RETIRED, the latter is NOT ASSIGNED. both means that there won't be any winner. If Juventus will win the appeal on this matter, they will be re-assigned to Juve. --necronudist 11:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Juventus FC received both titles (they have bot cups in their see), so why the sentence used two different words to describe the same (according to you) punishment?
 * Also note, necronudist, that if you revert, you should notice that you left the article in an unconsistent state, with references to a deleted note and 18 title for AC Milan. (And in general, you should avoid being ridiculous by labelling as "pathetic" an edit of yours of "pathetic" quality.)--151.47.76.121 00:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, Juventus did win the titles even though they have had the titles stripped. This really should be made a lot clearer. As it stands there is just a big mysterious void.--Josquius 11:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Well, mister 151.47.76.121, I'll go to hell for this. =_= however don't try to game the system with me, I'm out of this business, for my fortune. Josquius, so let's assign the famous retired scudetto to Torino. Torino did win that! And all that stuff about the corruption of Allemandi...well...it doesn't really matter...nah? --necronudist 12:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Champions League and UEFA Cup
I am suggesting the page should mention the Champions League and UEFA Cup spaces available to Serie A teams. Ignoring the scandal for a moment, I think the first two teams gain automatic entry to the Champions League, while teams 3 and 4 gain qualification to the 3rd qualifying round of Champions League. Teams 5 and 6 gain automatic entry to the UEFA Cup tournament. I believe the COPPA ITALIA winner gets a UEFA Cup spot too, however, I don't know what happens to that spot if the CUP winner and the CUP runner-up are already qualified for the Champions League (as is the case in 2006 if the penalties announced July 14 are upheld). What if the CUP winner is placed 5th or 6th? Juveboy 00:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Officially, entries for Champions League are:

And for UEFA Cup: Empoli, by now, can't take part to the competition. On Monday we will know if it will. Second judgment of the scandal (if it won't come over 25 july) can change something. 'til then, this is the situation. --necronudist 11:50, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Inter champions?
Have Inter been given the titles for the 2005 and 2006 seasons or has an Inter fan just decided to invade? Chad XIII 17:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * If you read below, you'll know the answer, it's a re-post. however: First championship has been RETIRED, the latter is NOT ASSIGNED. both means that there won't be any winner. --necronudist 18:22, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Why one is "retired" & the other "not assigned"? Which is the difference?--LimWRtacCHsua 22:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * A past title can only be retired, a title who's just been assigned is "not assigned". Like "oh all right guys, we were just kidding, you're on candid camera, give us back the title".

 * edit: it is assumed that a championship isn't finished 'til the begin of the next. Try to imagine if they retired the title in (e.g.) January. It would be "not assigned", not "retired". You can retire something you already assigned. Hope you'll understand. It's a bit complex, in my English :-) --necronudist 22:17, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I understand the difference by your words, but I am not sure you are right. Once the team is officially recognized as champion (remember the ceremony in Bari, after the Reggina match, in which they received the cup?), the title can be only retired, not "not assigned". Any reference for your interpretation?--LimWRtacCHsua 23:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * =_= omg... my reference is English (Italian) grammar. And judge said the first is retired, the second not assigned. Do it like you want. --necronudist 12:22, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't dare change the word 'retired' on the article - it may cause another stampede of edits are re-edits, but I do think 'vacated' sounds better. The World Cup trophy was 'retired' in 1970, but Juventus' scudetto was 'stripped', 'revoked' or 'vacated'. Juveboy 19:23, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Trivia: Record for most straight wins
Roma is not the only team that reached this record. Milan did the same on 1989-90 season, as it can be easily verified here: Milan won 11 matches in a row as follows: 17a GIORNATA 30 dic 1989 Bari - Milan                   0-1     Van Basten 18a GIORNATA 07 gen 1990 Milan - Cesena                 3-0     Donadoni, Tassotti, Van Basten rig. 19a GIORNATA 14 gen 1990 Lazio - Milan                  1-3     Amarildo (LA), Massaro, Fuser, Colombo (MI) 20a GIORNATA 17 gen 1990 Milan - Atalanta               3-1     Caniggia (AT), Van Basten 3 (MI) 21a GIORNATA 21 gen 1990 Udinese - Milan                0-2     Van Basten 2 22a GIORNATA 28 gen 1990 Milan - Genoa                  1-0     Massaro 23a GIORNATA 04 feb 1990 Fiorentina - Milan*            2-3     Baggio rig., Kubik (FI), Massaro, Van Basten 2 rig.

 * You are missing the fact that the 16th match, the 0-0 against Verona which should have been played on 17 december 1989, was actually played on 7 february 1990, between the 23th and 24th matches, thus interrupting the record to 7 straigh victories.

I am neutral on the matter, but I would like to point out that the Pichichi is the actual name of an award that is given to the top scorer, while capocannoniere is just a term used for 'top scorer'. I assume that an award/trophy is also given in Italy to the Serie A leading scorer for the season, although if that's the case I ignore whether the award has a name. --ChaChaFut 03:56, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Mini-World Cup?
I remember the Serie A was called "Mini-World Cup" by some soccer fans in the early 1990s. During its latest heyday in the late 80s and early 90s the Serie A had almost all of the best soccer players on the planet under the same professional league, and thus you saw virtually everyone playing in the World Cup players in Serie A matches. Of course nowadays the Premiership and La Liga has left it far behind in terms of commercial values. Anyone can add to this bit? --JNZ 06:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Individual honours
Does Serie A, like some other top leagues, have a minimum number of matches in a season that a player for the winning club must have played to be considered a champion? Or is it enough to have been in the squad? Or does the concept of individual champion not mean anything officially in Serie A? Just curious really, but if it is treated in the official rules, it might be of interest. OMHalck 17:22, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Usually if a players plays almost 1 game (1 minute, 1 second...doesn't matter) he's considered champion. Pretty sick. --necronudist 18:09, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Juventus
The section at the bottom of the introduction boasted that Juve is "the most successful Italian team", which goes against Wiki NPOV protocol because it is a subjective way of stating the facts. It should be said that Juve has won the most Scudetti as Milan has won more Champion's League titles, which could make them the most successful Italian club by some standards. It does not matter if it is linked to other Wiki articles showing the number of Juve Italian titles. Also, it stated that Juve is the only team to have won all official international titles, but it has not won the FIFA Club World Cup. Only Milan has won this competition. (talk) 19:30, 3 May 2009 (EST)

Italian football host tournament organized by Lega-Calcio. Juve have more scudetti, Italian cup, official national titles and overall titles won than ANOTHER Italian club. It's not POV, is a FACT recognized by FIFA. Also, World Club Cup = former Intercontinental Cup. --Dantetheperuvian (talk) 20:39, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

That is wrong on several points: The InterContinental Cup was REPLACED by the Club World Cup and has a completely different format. Juventus WAS the only team to have won all titles it was eligible for at that point in time, but it has not won ALL titles and it has not won all titles it is currently eligible to win, including the FIFA Club World Cup. The wording must be changed to reflect this. Milan has won the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Champions' League, UEFA Supercup. Juventus has won the UEFA Champions' League, UEFA Supercup, and UEFA Cup. In order for Milan to win all titles, it must win the UEFA Cup. And in order for Juventus to make the same claim, it must win the FIFA Club World Cup. The Intercontinental Cup, UEFA Cup Winners's Cup and UEFA Intertoto Cup are all defunct. If you want to say Juventus has won more scudetti and Italian Cups, you should say exactly THAT. You are misinterpreting the article you are citing because it was written poorly. "the most successful Italian club of all time" should mean they are the most successful team in Italian domestic football because they are not more successful than AC Milan in European or World competitions. http://www.fifa.com/clubworldcup/organisation/media/newsid=687173.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.52.12.102 (talk) 09:28, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Brazil is the most successful National team in the world because has won the world title most times. Juventus FC is the most successful Italian club because has won MOST official titles than another team (Scudetti-Italian Cup-UEFA Cup-National titles and Overall titles won), FACT recognized by FIGC, UEFA & FIFA. The international titles are not considered because THIS article is about Serie A and in Serie A Juve is the most winnner club. Juve has won all international titles because has won ALL UEFA club competitions and the World title (Intercontinental Cup). THINK before write. --Dantetheperuvian (talk) 08:10, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Europa League third spot
"A third UEFA Europa League spot is reserved for the winner of the Coppa Italia. If the Coppa Italia champion has already qualified for the major European tournament by placing in the top three of Serie A, the third UEFA Europa League spot goes to the sixth-ranked team in Serie A. If both Coppa Italia finalists finish among the top five teams in Serie A, the sixth-ranked team in Serie A is awarded the UEFA Europa League spot"

It appears the Coppa Italia losing finalist can get the spot but it seems like something is missing here.

Also second sentence should probably be rewritten as this: "If the Coppa Italia champion has already qualified for an European tournament by placing in the top five of Serie A, the third UEFA Europa League spot goes to the sixth-ranked team in Serie A." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.142.254.250 (talk) 16:36, 21 May 2017 (UTC)

Park Dietz

Park Elliot Dietz (born August 13, 1948) is a forensic psychiatrist who has consulted or testified in many of the highest-profile US criminal cases, including those of spousal killer Betty Broderick, mass murderer Jared Lee Loughner, and serial killers Joel Rifkin, Arthur Shawcross, Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Kaczynski, Richard Kuklinski, the D.C. sniper attacks, and William Bonin.

He came to national prominence in 1982 during his five days of testimony as the prosecution's expert witness in the trial of John Hinckley Jr., for his attempted assassination of President Reagan on March 30, 1981. Then an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dietz testified that at the time of the shooting, Hinckley knew what he was doing, knew it was wrong, and had the capacity to control his behavior thus was not legally insane.

Dietz is also a criminologist, and in 1987 he created the specialty of workplace violence prevention in founding Threat Assessment Group, Inc. (TAG), which specializes in analyzing and managing threatening behavior and communications, stalking, risks arising from domestic violence, and other abnormal activity in corporations, colleges, and schools. As of 2013, more than 20,000 senior corporate managers have attended TAG training seminars.

A separate company, Park Dietz & Associates (PD&A), is a forensic consulting firm specializing in criminal behavior analysis, forensic psychiatry, forensic psychology and other forensic sciences, serving prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and attorneys representing defendants and plaintiffs in civil litigation. PD&A's national roster of experts includes physicians, psychologists, and retired FBI agents with wide expertise on the forensic aspects of fields as diverse as neurology, social work and pathology. Both TAG and PD&A are headquartered in Southern California with PD&A having a second office in Washington, D.C.

In addition to his work as a forensic psychiatrist, Dietz has consulted for television shows including Law & Order and Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Early life and education
Dietz was born on August 13, 1948, and raised in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Harrisburg. His mother, Marjorie Dietz, who had trained as a nurse and did hospital volunteer work including activities at a local mental institution. His father, Raymond Dietz, was a physician, as was Dietz's grandfather.

Dietz graduated from Camp Hill High School in 1966 and that same year enrolled at Cornell University to major in Psychology and Biology. He was a member of Cornell's Theta Delta Chi fraternity. In 1970 he graduated with an A.B. cum laude in Psychology, and was a Phi Beta Kappa.

In 1970, Dietz received a senatorial scholarship to study at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, transferring in 1972 to Johns Hopkins University. There, he was among a handful of students in the M.D.-Ph.D. Program in Behavioral Sciences funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences and the Grant Foundation of New York. From 1972-1975, while completing medical school and course requirements for a Ph.D. in Social Relations, Dietz also earned a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree.

Dietz worked with the school's noted public health professor Susan Baker on a study of drowning cases and their prevention and epidemiology, using the Haddon Matrix paradigm to categorize specific prevention measures for specific injuries. In 2012, Baker wrote that Dietz, "later applied the Matrix to the problem of rape, showing its value in formulating approaches to intentional injury ... and the Haddon Matrix probably played a role in his development of an entire industry addressed to workplace violence prevention."

Early career
After completing his residency in general psychiatry at Johns Hopkins in 1977 and fellowship in forensic psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania in 1978, Dietz began teaching at Harvard Medical School, where at age 29 he was the school's youngest assistant professor. While teaching at Harvard, Dietz also was the director of forensic psychiatry at Bridgewater State Hospital, a facility for the criminally insane in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.

After four years at Harvard, Dietz became an associate professor at the University of Virginia in 1982, teaching law, behavioral medicine, and psychiatry at the UVA School of Law while also being the medical director at UVA's Institute of Law, Psychiatry and Public Policy. He taught on the Charlottesville campus for six years, and was promoted to Professor of Law in the School of Law and Professor of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry in the School of Medicine.

Significant contributions
Dr. Dietz has authored over 100 publications and consulted and/or testified in hundreds of criminal and civil cases. In addition to academic positions, Dr. Dietz has held hospital and administrative appointments; served on institutional committees, national public policy task forces, editorial boards for peer-reviewed scientific journals, and as a technical advisor for numerous TV series and films. In 2010, Dietz was awarded the "Seymour Pollack Award for Distinguished Contributions to Education in Forensic Psychiatry" by the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. In 2014, Biography.com listed Dr. Dietz among the 10 most famous psychiatrists in history. Dr. Dietz is a Past President of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. He is a forensic psychiatrist for both the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and the New York State Police Forensic Sciences Unit. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Trauma Research, has conducted numerous studies of sex offenders, mentally disordered offenders, and violent criminals, directed a five-year study for the National Institute of Justice on mentally disordered offenders who threaten and stalk public figures, and headed a two-year privately funded study of risks to the children and families of executives and other public figures >. Dietz’s contributions to scholarship on sexual behavior and offenses include publications on sexual sadism,   sexual masochism,   sex offenses against children,   exhibitionism, and sex offenses generally. Additionally, Dr. Dietz has authored many works on workplace violence, the stalking of high profile individuals,   and forensic psychiatry as a discipline.

John Hinckley Jr. trial
John W. Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate President Reagan outside Washington, D.C.'s Hilton Hotel on March 30, 1981, and Hinckley's 1982 trial included Dietz as an expert prosecution witness (while he still was teaching at Harvard). In his five days of testimony, Dietz told the jury that Hinckley told him that he felt shooting the president accomplished his goal of trying to impress actress Jodie Foster. Dietz quoted Hinckley as saying, Actually, I should feel good because I accomplished everything on a grand scale ... I did it for [Foster's] sake.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Adelman, the chief prosecutor, argued that Hinckley may have been emotionally unstable at the time of the shooting, but that he was not so mentally disturbed that he could not understand what he did when he shot Reagan. Dietz and the colleagues whom he led wrote the prosecution's 628-page report on Hinckley's mental state.

Dietz diagnosed Hinckley with personality disorders: narcissistic, schizoid, and a mixed personality disorder with passive-aggressive and borderline traits, plus persistent sadness. Hinckley had, according to the Dietz-authored report, "a pattern of unstable relationships; an identity disturbance ... chronic feelings of emptiness and boredom ... inability to sustain consistent work behavior ... lack of self-confidence." But Dietz also told the jury that none of these personality issues free Hinckley from legal responsibility for shooting Reagan. "On March 30, 1981, Mr. Hinckley, as a result of mental disease or defect, did not lack substantial capacity to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct."

Dietz used Hinckley's assessment of the assassination location, as Reagan walked outside the Hilton Hotel, as an example of how Hinckley did, "appreciate the wrongfulness", of his actions, but nonetheless went forward. Dietz said Hinckley had a, "long-standing interest in fame and assassination", and that he had studied, "the publicity associated with various crimes".

Hinckley's mental health state was clear enough that he knew the type of bullet that would do the most damage, Dietz told the jury, plus the step-by-step movements needed to get close to Reagan on March 30. "He was able to make other decisions on that date", Dietz said. "He decided where to go for breakfast, what to eat ... He made personal decisions of that sort. ... He deliberated and made a decision to survey the scene at the Hilton Hotel. There was no voice commanding him to do that ... He decided, as he tells us, to go to the Hilton to check out the scene to see how close he could get." He also explained that Hinckley summarized, "the situation as having poor security ... He saw that the range was close and within the distance with which he was accurate, and at the precise moment that he chose to draw his revolver there was a diversion of attention from him ... The Secret Service and others in the presidential entourage looked the other way just as he was pulling the gun ... Finally, his decision to fire, thinking that others had seen him ... indicates his awareness that others seeing him was significant because others recognized that what he was doing and about to do were wrong."

Hinckley's defense team argued that he was schizophrenic and thus not criminally responsible for his actions. After eight weeks of testimony, the jury on June 21, 1982, found Hinckley not guilty on all 13 counts by reason of insanity, a verdict that so shocked the nation that Senator Arlen Specter held a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee to question the jurors and both the American Psychiatric Association and American Bar Association appointed task forces to work on a revised test of insanity to clarify federal law.

The trial catapulted Dietz into the national spotlight: attorneys took special note of his unique knowledge of deviant behavior, with the FBI also seeking his expertise. His concurrent teaching at the University of Virginia from 1982 to 1988 ended with Dietz moving to Southern California to start his forensic consulting firm.

Jeffrey Dahmer
Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer murdered 17 boys and men from 1978 to 1991, all but one of them in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dietz was hired by the prosecution to evaluate Dahmer's claim that he was "guilty but insane". Dietz interviewed him for 18 hours, with the psychiatrist describing Dahmer as, "articulate, rational and motivated to speak the truth." During his two days of testimony, Dietz explained to the jury that Dahmer was not insane or driven to commit murder but, instead, had sexual disorders and exhibited sexually deviant behavior with his victims, but purposely drank himself to the point of intoxication when he killed. Dahmer, he said, also kept the skulls of 11 of his victims: far from being insane, Dietz said Dahmer, calmly and rationally, knew that keeping, "some of his favorite items, these keepsakes, [meant taking] a very big risk of being detected for all these serious crimes."

Dietz was impressed at how Dahmer remembered intricate details of each murder. The two men watched some of Dahmer's cinematic favorites including Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, The Exorcist III, plus gay pornography.

Dahmer also gave Dietz plans for a temple he wanted to build for most of the 11 victims' skulls that he kept, with plans to paint them. "Mr. Dahmer drew for me a diagram of what he had in mind—planned for the temple", Dietz told the jury. "And that diagram of the temple shows 10 skulls on a table, with incense burning on both ends, and two whole skeletons on either end of the black table ... and a special globe lamp to impart an eerie sense of lighting. And he wanted a black leather chair so that he could sit in the leather chair and admire his collection. If he did this, and had it set up this way, he ... could somehow get in touch with some spiritual force or power."

Both the Star Wars and Exorcist films had evil characters that inspired the temple, specifically the emperor in Return of the Jedi and the demon in The Exorcist III. "He identified with the characters", Dietz told the jury, "because he felt that he was thoroughly evil and corrupt."

At the conclusion of his 1992 trial, Dahmer was convicted of the 15 Wisconsin murders to which he had confessed, and received 15 life sentences.

The Unabomber
The "Unabomber" terrorist Ted Kaczynski injured 23 people and killed three more using homemade bombs from 1978 to 1995. Kaczynski pleaded guilty to all federal charges including murder just after his 1998 trial began: though Dietz was unable to interview him before that for federal prosecutors, the psychiatrist did read his journals, interviewed those who knew him, and reviewed all of the evidence gathered by investigators. Kaczynski's writings, he said in an interview with The New Yorker magazine, "scream geek, not schizophrenic", contrary to the defense team's psychiatric evaluation of Kaczynski as a paranoid schizophrenic. "They're full of strong emotions, considerable anger, and an elaborate, closely reasoned system of belief about the adverse impact of technology on society", Dietz said. "The question always is: is that belief system philosophy or is it delusion? The answer has more to do with the ideology of the psychiatrist than with anything else."

Andrea Yates
Dietz attracted considerable controversy following his testimony in the 2002 trial of Andrea Yates, a woman convicted of drowning her five children in a bathtub. Dietz was the prosecution's lone mental health expert, and testified that shortly before Yates committed the crime, the television crime drama franchise Law & Order had aired an episode about a woman who drowned her children and was found innocent by reason of insanity. However, no such Law & Order episode exists. When the error became known, Yates' murder conviction was overturned by an appeals court, on January 6, 2005. The negative publicity following the Yates trial led Dietz to be dropped as an expert from Marcus Wesson's murder trial.

Waco
As the Waco siege went on, on April16, 1993, FBI Director William Sessions tried to convince Attorney General Janet Reno to approve an assault on the complex, but she requested more documentation.

After Dietz prepared a written opinion stating that further negotiations were not likely to resolve the crisis, and that Koresh would likely continue abusing the children, that Attorney General Reno, who was known as a child advocate, approved the assault on April17, 1993.

The Meese Commission
Dietz was one of 12 people appointed in 1985 to President Reagan's Attorney General's Commission on Pornography, better known as The Meese Report after then-U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese. The commission's final, 1,960-page, five-part, 35-chapter, report was published in July 1986. At the University of Virginia law school library's special collection department, the inventory of Dietz's papers includes 16 boxes dedicated solely to his work on the commission, covering a broad range of sexuality issues from nude sunbathing to bondage publications and Playboy magazine cartoons plus one box bearing a title with the now-antiquated phrase, "dial-a-porn".

In his personal statement in the commission's report, Dietz contrasted his commission work with his many years of studying the psychopathic behavior of killers, writing that when he joined the commission, "the morality of pornography was the farthest thing from my mind ... Thus, I was astonished to find that by the final meeting of the Commission, pornography had become a matter of moral concern to me. While other Commissioners may have learned things about the dark side of life that they had never known, I remembered something about the higher purposes of life and of humanity's aspirations that I had forgotten during too many years working on the dark side."

Dietz also stated in the final report, "In my opinion, we know enough now to be confident in asserting that a population exposed to violent pornography is a population that commits more acts of sexual brutality than it otherwise would and to suggest somewhat less confidently that the same is probably true of a population exposed to degrading pornography."

Meese Commission's 8-Point "Medical and Public Health" Problems Involving Pornography
Dietz's extensive commission statement outlined eight areas in which pornography creates, or helps foster, "a medical and public health problem". Surveying these issues, Dietz wrote, in part:

 * On pornography impacting social behavior: "The person who follows the patterns of social behavior promoted by pornography is a person for whom love, affection, marriage, procreation, and responsibility are absolutely irrelevant to sexual conduct."
 * Shaping personal attitudes that create adverse health consequences: "even in experimental samples of mentally stable male college students, exposure to violent pornography leads to measurable, negative changes in the content of sexual fantasies, attitudes toward women, attitudes toward rape, and aggressive behavior within the experimental setting".
 * Sexual abuse: "Pornography of all types is used in the sexual abuse of children to instruct them on particular sexual acts and to overcome their resistance by showing them what adults do ... (and) to instruct women in the sexual behaviors that men desire of them (and) to harass women in the workplace and to remind them into whose world they are intruding". However, Dietz added, "there would be no straightforward remedies for these consequences short of reducing the quantity of pornography in circulation."
 * Injury to people working in pornography: "they have been exposed to the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted diseases. Some have been supplied with narcotics".
 * Sex toys: "Products under the pretext of health and recreation ... are the instruments of injury, both intentional and unintentional. People have suffocated in bondage hoods ... People have had 'sexual aid' devices entrapped in body cavities, requiring extraction at hospital emergency wards. People have died from orally ingesting volatile nitrites (which are) sold as aphrodisiacs."
 * Urban concentrations of adult establishments such as bookstores, and strip bars/peep shows: "These establishments signal members of the community and visitors that full vice services may be available nearby through prostitutes and drug dealers and, if not so directly available, are a phone call away through the advertisements found in tabloids, periodicals, and sex-for-sale guides".
 * Sexual disinformation: "So much of it (pornography) teaches false, misleading, and even dangerous information about human sexuality. A person who learned about human sexuality in the 'adults only' pornography outlets of America would be a person who had never conceived of a man and woman marrying or even falling in love before having intercourse ... Instead, such a person would be one who had learned that sex at home meant sex with one's children, stepchildren, parents, stepparents, siblings, cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, and pets, and with neighbors, milkmen, plumbers, salesmen, burglars, and peepers".

Dietz also wrote that pornography is, "both causal and symptomatic of immorality and corruption. A world in which pornography were neither desired nor produced would be a better world, but it is not within the power of government or even of a majority of citizens to create such a world ... a great deal of contemporary pornography constitutes an offense against human dignity and decency that should be shunned by the citizens, not because the evils of the world will thereby be eliminated, but because conscience demands it."

Hollie Vise

Hollie Diane Vise (born December 6, 1987) is an American former artistic gymnast. A two-time world champion, Vise went on to compete for the University of Oklahoma.

Early life and training
Born in Dallas, Texas, Vise is not the only athlete in her family. Her brothers are active in many different sports and Vise's mother was also a gymnast when she was younger. Her grandfather, the character actor Burton Gilliam, was a Golden Gloves boxer who won more than 200 bouts before turning to acting.

Vise started gymnastics at age three and advanced so quickly that she could not compete in Level 5 of USA Gymnastics' Junior Olympic program because she did not meet the age requirement of six. She began training at World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA) in Plano, Texas, along with teammates Katie Dailey and Mellissa Smith, when she reached Level 8 at seven years old. At the age of 11, she passed over Level 10 and became an elite gymnast.

Vise was known for her long body lines, graceful style, and extreme flexibility. One of her signature skills on beam was her mount, where she jumped to a cheststand and then arched her legs over. She also performed a needle scale. These two poses were very photogenic and contributed to Vise's fame as a gymnast.

Throughout her elite career, she was trained by former Russian acrobat Evgeny Marchenko. Her teammates at WOGA included 2004 Olympic all-around champion Carly Patterson and 2008 Olympic all-around champion Nastia Liukin.

2003 Worlds
Vise is best remembered for her gold medals at the 2003 World Championships in the team and uneven bars events.

Vise competed on uneven bars and balance beam in the team competition. Immediately prior to her routine, it was discovered that her number was not attached to the back of her leotard, a violation that automatically incurs a 0.2 deduction. Coaches quickly scribbled her number on a spare sheet of paper, safety-pinned it to her back, and sent her out. This was controversial, however, because she had already been signaled to start her routine when her coaches realized her number was missing, and she spent more than the allowed time for starting her routine (30 seconds) putting her number back on. Once she began her routine, Vise mistimed her Ono pirouette (a 360-degree turn on one arm) and fell on the piked Jaeger release that came immediately after. She scored an 8.875, much lower than the two athletes who went before her on the apparatus, who had scored in the 9.6 range. Nevertheless, she regrouped to put out a respectable performance on balance beam (9.512) that helped the U.S. team to its first team world gold. In the event finals, Vise scored 9.612 to tie Chellsie Memmel for the uneven bars title. She and Memmel were the only members of the American team to take home individual gold medals from the World Championships, along with the team gold.

2004–2005
A back injury caused Vise to withdraw from the 2004 U.S. National Championships. She competed on uneven bars and balance beam at the 2004 Olympic Trials, though several moves demonstrating her extreme flexibility had to be removed. She finished third and fifth, respectively.

College career
Vise earned a full scholarship to University of Oklahoma and competed for the Sooners starting in the 2006–07 season. At her first collegiate meet at Arizona State University, she scored 9.800 on beam. A week later, she scored 9.825 on beam at Iowa State University, tying for fourth place.

Vise showed consistency on beam in the 2011 season, scoring a 9.725 against Texas Woman's University when she added a front handspring before her dismount adding more difficulty. She scored a career-best 9.85 to tie for fourth on beam against Pittsburgh. She recorded the Sooners' second-best beam score (9.825) at the Big 12 Championship and helped her team finish in second place.

Personal life
On May 2, 2015, Vise married Alex Naddour, a member of the U.S. men's national gymnastics team. She gave birth to a daughter in February 2016 and a son in June 2018.

Friedrich Halm

Baron Eligius Franz Joseph von Münch-Bellinghausen (Eligius Franz Joseph Freiherr von Münch-Bellinghausen) (2 April 1806 – 22 May 1871) was an Austrian dramatist, poet and novella writer of the Austrian Biedermeier period and beyond, and is more generally known under his pseudonym Friedrich Halm.

Life and career
He was the son of a district judge at Kraków in Poland, at this time part of the Austrian Empire. Early in his literary career he adopted the nom de plume of Friedrich Halm ("Halm" means a blade of grass or a blade of straw), and became one of the most popular dramatists in Vienna around the middle of the 19th century. His novellas are now regarded as more significant from a literary point of view than his dramatic writings.

Münch-Bellinghausen was educated at the seminary of Melk Abbey and later at Vienna, where he studied philosophy and jurisprudence, and where he began his career in 1826.

As a boy he took a keen interest in the theater, and from 1833 enjoyed the friendship of his former teacher, the Benedictine Michael Leopold Enk von der Burg, who encouraged the poet to offer his drama Griseldis to the Hofburg theatre. Its successful production in 1835 established Halm's reputation as a playwright and henceforth he continued to write for the stage with varying success.

Münch-Bellinghausen became Regierungsrat (government councillor) in 1840 and Kustos (chief keeper) of the Court Library in 1844, a position that Franz Grillparzer had sought in vain. He was elected member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in 1852, and life member of the Austrian Herrenhaus in 1861. In 1867, he was appointed superintendent of the two court-theatres (the Burgtheater and the Court Opera, the current Vienna State Opera), but three years later resigned this position which disputes had made distasteful to him. His health also had been failing.

Literary work
Friedrich Halm's earliest full-length drama, Schwert, Hammer, Buch, completed in 1833 but not published in his lifetime, explores three various routes in quest of happiness: that of the warrior, that of the artisan, and that of the artist. This massive drama of several hundred pages, although still a piece of 'juvenilia', has numerous effective passages and anticipates the literary talent that was to burst upon the Viennese literary scene just three or four years later with the publication of Halm's tragedy, Griseldis. Of his many dramatic works the best known are, indeed, Griseldis (1837); Der Adept (1836; publ. 1838), Camoens (1838), Der Sohn der Wildnis (1842), and Der Fechter von Ravenna (1857). Griseldis is based on the well-known story of the faithful wife whose loyalty and devotion are put to the severest tests but who triumphs in the end. Der Sohn der Wildnis ("The Son of the Wilderness") is a romantic drama depicting the power of womanly love and virtue over rude barbarian strength. It was presented on the English stage under the title of Ingomar the Barbarian. Der Fechter von Ravenna ("The Gladiator of Ravenna"), regarded as one of Halm's best dramas, is a tragedy having for its hero Thumelicus the son of Arminius, the liberator of Germany from Roman rule. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, "[his plays] are distinguished by elegance of language, melodious versification and clever construction, and were for a time exceedingly popular."

Theatrically these plays are very effective, but the characters are improbable and the situations are often strained. Their popularity, which they owe largely to their smooth, polished and beautiful diction and skillfully interspersed lyrics, has not been lasting. Halm's numerous other dramas we include the vivid and powerful Sampiero (1856, depicting the tragic loss of humanity attendant upon political fanaticism); Iphigenie in Delphi (1856); Begum Somru (1863); Wildfeuer (1864); a German version of Shakespeare's Cymbeline that appeared on the stage in 1842, and an extremely effective and humorous comedy entitled Verbot und Befehl ("Prohibition and Decree", 1856).

He is also the author of lyrics, short stories, and of a narrative poem Charfreitag ("Good Friday") (1864). His poems, Gedichte, were published in Stuttgart, 1850 (new ed. Vienna. 1877). His pessimistic weltanschauung seems to have been formed very early on in life and never to have deserted him, as evidenced by early poems such as Eine Makame and later poems, Schwere Jahre. These describe how life is seen as essentially a vale of tears and filled with suffering, and only made bearable by the hope of a blissful and tranquil life of the spirit. These will supervene after physical death.

Halm's high reputation during his lifetime is indicated by the stone bust which was carved of him and which still sits on top of the famous Burgtheater in Vienna, alongside those of Schiller, Goethe and Grillparzer.

From an early age, Halm showed an aptitude for fictional narrative, perhaps first exemplified in the charming tale, Die Abendgenossen, written when Halm was in his early twenties. Another early novella from this period, Ein Abend zu L, contains insights on sex and homosexuality which anticipate Freudian psycho-analytical notions. Dr. Tony Page writes on this:

"In view of its daring delineations of human sexuality and repressed sexual urges, its potentially progressive view of same-sex love and general exploration of the human psyche in the grip of passion, Ein Abend zu L. constitutes a remarkable early 19th-century literary document, providing pre-echoes of psycho-analytical ideas that would take the Western world by storm less than a century later." Halm's other short stories, or novellas, which tend to focus on spiritual issues and self-destructive monomaniacal characters, are far superior to most of his dramas and are striking and impressive in content, full of psychological insights—especially his earliest major story, Das Auge Gottes ("The Eye of God"), a lengthy novella written in 1826, about the supernatural reverberations of the blasphemous act of the desecration of a holy icon, and his final narrative masterpiece, Das Haus an der Veronabrücke ("The House on Verona Bridge"), centring on the inner collapse of a man given over to a morally repellent but overriding idée fixe (the enforced sexual coupling of his wife with another man). His novella, Die Marzipan-Lise ("Marzipan Lise"), is credited with being one of the first "criminal fiction tales" of German literature and is now available as an audio book on CD. Furthermore, the composer, Brahms, used some of Halm's verses as the basis for a number of his Lieder, as did composer Pauline Volkstein.

Overall it can be said that it is as a short-story or "novella" writer that Halm has secured a place in the history of German/Austrian literature. His novellas mark Halm out as a writer of talent, psychological penetration and substance. His novella, The House at Verona Bridge (Das Haus an der Veronabruecke) alone stands as a milestone in 19th-century Austrian literature for its probing and insightful treatment of an obsessive mentality that inevitably leads its possessor into tragedy and death.

His collected works, Samtliche Werke, were published arranged in chronological order in eight volumes (1856–1864), to which four posthumous volumes were added in 1872. Also published were Ausgewählte Werke, ed. by Anton Schlossar in 4 vols. (1904). Published in the 21st century in Amazon Kindle format were a collection of poems entitled Unpublished Poems of Friedrich Halm (2011), the full text of Halm's novella, Das Auge Gottes (2011), as well as Halm's novella, Ein Abend zu L. (2012), in addition to Halm's essay on literary aesthetics, Sendschreiben an J. C. R. (2012), all transcribed and edited by Dr. Tony Page.
