Primary Examiner-A. Louis Monacell Assistant Examiner-Gary M. Nath Attorney-Louis F. Kline, Jr., Melvin H. Kurtz and Edgar E. Ruff 57 ABSTRACT Modified phosphatides of improved emulsifying power and suitable for use as anti-spattering agents in margarine are obtained by the partial hydrolysis of a vegetable phosphatide with an enzyme preparation containing lipase and phospholipase A until at least 2 percent and less than 15 percent of lysophosphatides are formed, and removal of free fatty acids by solvent extraction.
6 Claims, No Drawings PREPARATION OF PHOSPHATIDES This invention relates to processes for the preparation of partially hydrolyzed vegetable phosphatides.
Crude hydrated vegetable phosphatides (or plant lecithins) are obtained as by-products in the solvent-extraction of oilseeds for edible oil production. In typical commercial process (as more fully described in British Pat. No. 1,118,373) they are precipitated as slimes by the introduction of moist steam into the solvent-free crude vegetable oil, and then separated from the bulk of the oil by centrifugation and dried by evaporation under reduced pressure. The dried crude phosphatides consist of a mixture of about 65 percent by weight of materials insoluble in acetone, namely choline,
ethanolamine, serine and inositol phosphatides, sugars and glycolopids, and about 35 percent of acetone-soluble substances, mainly neutral oil, free fatty acids and unsaponifiable constituents.
Such vegetable phosphatides are used as emulsifying agents for water-in-oil emulsions, for example margarine, and also for oil-in-water emulsions, for example mayonnaise and salad oils,
but the choline phosphatide components on the one hand and v the ethanolamine and serine phosphatide components (together known as cephalin) on the other, antagonise or depress the emulsifying power of each other.
Danish Pat. No. 101,649 describes the improvement of the emulsifying power of crude vegetable phosphatides by treating aqueous oil-containing vegetable phosphatide emulsions with lipase at from 50 to 80 C. for several hours. The lipase effects a partial hydrolysis of the fatty acid triglyceride of the oil to a mixture of monoand diglycerides, giving a product of improved emulsifying power, but an undesirable increase in free fatty acid content occurs, as a result of which the taste of the products thus prepared is less pleasant than that of normal vegetable phosphatides. Phosphatides can be converted into lysophosphatides by hydrolysis with the enzyme phospholipase A (lecithinase A) occurring together with lipase in pancreas extract or pancreatin, or by pancreatin which has been partially heat-inactivated to give a preparation having only phospholipase A activity.
It has now been found that a modified phosphatide emulsifying agent of neutral taste and light color and suitable for oilin-water and water-in-oil emulsions can be prepared by the partial hydrolysis of an unhydrolysed vegetable phosphatide with an enzyme preparation containing both lipase and phospholipase A at from to 70 C. until there has been formed at least 2 percent and less than 15 percent of' lysophosphatides (monoacyl glycerophosphatides) by weight of the total phosphatides and lysophosphatides present, followed by separation of these by solvent extraction from free fatty acids present.
Suitable unhydrolysed vegetable phosphatides for use in the process are the crude hydrated vegetable phosphatides referred to above, for instance hydrated soyabean, groundnut, sunflower, corn and rapeseed oil phosphatides. Such starting materials can be the crude phosphatide slimes which have been separated from the bulk of the oil, for instance by centrifugation, and such a slime that has been subsequently dried, and such a slime which with or without subsequent drying has been subjected to further purification by extraction of the fatty acid triglyceride oil it contains by fat solvents, for example acetone. There can also be used phosphatide fractions obtained by solvent fractionation of the crude hydrated vegetable phosphatides, for example alcohol-soluble and alcohol-insoluble fractions, especially alcohol-soluble fractions with a proportion of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine of at least 4 to l by weight, such as are described in British Pat. No. 1,1 13,241.
Suitable enzyme preparations containing lipase and phospholipase A are technical enzyme preparations of plant 'or animal origin, particularly technical extracts from pancreas,'such as pancreatin. The enzymepreparations can be conveniently used in amounts of from 0.05 to 0.2 percent, preferably 0.05 to 0.1 percent, based on the weight of phosphatide employed.
The partial hydrolysis is conveniently carried out in the presence of at least 25 percent, and preferably at least 50 percent of water, by weight of the phosphatide to be hydrolyzed, and preferably at from 40 to 50 C.
The rate of hydrolysis increases with the amount of enzyme preparation employed, so that the reaction time required for a particular degree of hydrolysis is reduced. Typical reaction times are from 3 to 60 hours. Preferably hydrolysis is carried out until a lysophosphatide content of from 4 to 12 percent is reached.
The crude partially hydrolysed vegetable phosphatide (or hydrolysate) obtained is then subjected to extraction with a solvent suitable for separation of free fatty acids from the phosphatides and lysophosphatides present. The hydrolysate can be dried before extraction, but preferably the direct product of hydrolysis (containing the water present during hydrolysis) is used for the extraction.
Preferably the hydrolysate is dispersed in an organic solvent medium in which the free fatty acids are soluble and the phosphatides and lysophosphatides are insoluble, and a partially hydrolyzed phosphatide is then recovered from the insoluble residue.
The hydrolysate can be dried and dispersed in a first organic solvent in which the free fatty acids, phosphatides and lysophosphatides dissolve, a second organic solvent in which the free fatty acids are soluble but the phosphatides and lysophosphatides are insoluble then added to the solution until a phase containing the latter is precipitated, and the precipitated phase separated and purified partially hydrolysed phosphatide recovered from it. For the first solvent are suitable aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons of from five to seven carbon atoms, for example pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, and benzene, and chlorinated hydrocarbons of one or two carbon atoms, for example dichloromethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethylene and carbon tetrachloride. There can for example be used from 0.1 to 1.5 liters of hexane per kg. hydrolysate calculated as free of water. For the second solvent are suitable ketones or alkyl esters of carboxylic acids containing from two to four carbon atoms, for example acetone, methyl acetate and ethyl formate. There can for example be used from 1.5 to 3 liters of acetone per kg. dried hydrolysate. The extraction and precipitation can be repeated. The product after addition of both solvents forms two liquid phases, of which one phase contains oil, fatty acids and other undesired materials, and the other phase contains the phosphatides and lysophosphatides. After separation of the phases, the phase containing the phosphatides and lysophosphatides is freed from solvent, for example by evaporation under reduced pressure.
Preferably the hydrolysate is dispersed in an alcohol or ketone of from one to three carbonatoms, for example methyl, ethyl, propyl or isopropyl alcohol or acetone, and water is present: aqueous solventsconsisting of 2 parts by volume of alcohol or ketone to from 1 to 3 parts of water can be used. The partially hydrolysed phosphatide is preferably first thoroughly stirred with a little alcohol or ketone, and the aqueous alcohol or ketone then added until at least two layers are formed. Usually three are formed of which the uppermost consists of dark-colored neutral oil and fatty acids, the middle one consists of a solution of bitter substances and sugars in aqueous solvent and the lowermost consists essentially of phosphatides, lysophosphatides and solvent. For the separation of these layers a centrifuge is convenient. Aqueous acetone containing from 5 to 30 percent of water can also be used, in which case two layers may be formed of which the upper layer contains the oil and the fatty acids and the lower layer contains the phosphatides and lysophosphatides. Where the hydrolysate already contains a sufiicient amount of water, the alcohols or ketones can be added free of water.
Where sufficient water is present a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent such as one of those mentioned above can be used as the sole solvent; the proportions of solvent and water should be such that the free fatty acids are in one phase and the phosphatides and lysophosphatides in the other.
After the phase containing the phosphatides and lysophosphatides has been separated, it is freed from solvent, for example by evaporation under reduced pressure. As the purified partially hydrolyzed vegetable phosphatide is liable to deteriorate in air by oxidation, carrier substances, for example neutral fatty acid triglyceride oils, mixtures of fatty acid monoand diglycerides, glycerol, sorbitol, propane-1,3-diol, and ethyl lactate, can be added before the final evaporation process to avoid this.
The products are emulsifying agents which can be used in the preparation of foodstuffs, for example margarine, mayonnaise and salad oils, feedingstuffs, for example synthetic calf milk, cosmetic preparations, for example lotions and salves, and pharmaceutical preparations.
The invention is illustrated by the following Examples, in which temperatures are in C.
EXAMPLE 1 A crude hydrated soyabean phosphatide slime (1,000 g.) was stirred with water (100 g.) until an emulsion was formed, technical pancreatin (l g.) added and the emulsion heated for 16 hours at 50. After removal of water by evaporation under reduced pressure there was obtained a crude partially hydrolyzed phosphatide (1,000 g.) of acid number 33 and iodine color 40, containing 64 percent acetone-insolubles, 15.6 percent choline phosphatide, 8.5 percent cephalin and 3.0 percent lysophosphatide by weight: the amount of lysophosphatide present thus corresponded to about 4% percent by weight of the total phosphatides and lysophosphatides. Half of this product was dissolved in hexane (500 m1.) and extracted with acetone (l,l ml., containing 2.5 percent water by weight). The upper layer formed on standing was separated off and the lower layer extracted twice with hexane (550 ml.) and acetone (l,l00 ml.). To the residue of purified partially hydrolyzed phosphatide was added a refined soyabean oil in equal amount to the oil removed in the extraction, and solvent was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The purified hydrolysate had an acid number of 19.7 and an iodine color of 25.
For determination of the emulsifying power of the product, water (50 ml.) at 50 was placed in a 100 m1. mixing cylinder, a solution of the purified hydrolysate (1 g.) in groundnut oil (9 g.) of melting point 32 was added and a coarse emulsion prepared by rotation of the cylinder through 180 times. The cylinder was then placed in a waterbath maintained at 50 and the time in hours required for separation of ml. water (half-value time) was noted. The test was carried out both with distilled water and water of 13 hardness, and a comparison was made with the crude partially hydrolysed phosphatide that had not been subjected to the extraction process.
Half-value time (hi1) A crude hydrated syoabean phosphatide slime (2,000 g.) containing 56.6 percent by weight of dry substance was mixed with technical pancreatin (500 mg.) and allowed to stand for 51 hours at 60. The acid number of the mixture on a dry weight basis increased during this time from 20 to 38. The crude hydrolysate thus obtained contained 50 percent by weight of water.
A portion (400 g.) of the crude hydrolysate was freed from water at 70 by evaporation in a rotary evaporator under reduced pressure to give a dried crude hydrolysate (201 g).
Another portion (400 g.) of this crude hydrolysate was stirred with acetone (1,000 ml.) at ambient temperature. After long standing the turbid upper layer was poured off from the layer of sediment and the latter then extracted again with acetone (1,000 ml). 0n evaporation of the reduced extract under reduced pressure there was obtained a dark, fatty acidrich oil (70 g). The residue after addition of refined soyabean oil (70g) was evaporated under reduced pressure to give a purified hydrolysate (200 g.) (Example 2).
A further portion (400 g.) of the crude hydrolysate was stirred with isopropyl alcohol (200 ml.) for l5 minutes at ambient temperature, and formed three layers on standing. The mixture was then centrifuged to separate the upper and middle layers from the lower layer. On evaporation of the combined upper and middle layers there was obtained an oil (44 g). Refined soyabean oil (44 g) was added to the lower layer and the mixture evaporated under reduced pressure to give a purified hydrolysate (20! g.) (Example 3).
A final portion (400 g.) of the crude hydrolysate was stirred intensively at 20 for 30 minutes with l,2-dichloroethane 1,200 ml.). On standing there was deposited a lower layer containing phosphatide, from which the oil-containing dichloroethane layer was separated first by decantation and then by centrifugation, and on evaporation under reduced pressure there was obtained oil (71 g). To the residual phosphatide was added refined soyabean oil (71 g.) and the mixture evaporated under reduced pressure to give a purified hydrolysate (201 g.) (Example 4).
The dried crude and purified hydrolysates were subjected to analysis, to testing for taste threshold value, namely the lowest concentration of the produce in groundnut oil that could still be detected by half the members of a tasting panel, and to testing for anit-spattering action in margarine. For the latter purpose margarines were prepared containing percent fat, 4 percent milk, 0.2 percent starch, and 0.2 percent salt by weight, and incorporating a series of amounts of the hydrolysates. The margarines thus obtained were heated by the methods described in Fette, Seifen, Anstrichminel, 1963, 65, 29, and the formation of spatter determined on the visually assessed basis of 8 very good 4 unsatisfactory 7 good 3 bad 6 satisfactory 2 very bad 5 adequate l unusable The results were as follows:
Purified hydrolysate according to Example Crude hydrolysate The amount of lysophosphatide (5.0 percent) present in the dried crude hydrolysate corresponds to about 7% percent by weight of the total phosphatides and lysophosphatides.
What is claimed is:
l. A process for the preparation of a modified phosphatide emulsifying agent which comprises partially hydrolysing an unhydrolysed vegetable phosphatide with an enzyme preparation containing both lipase and phospholipase A at from 30 to 70 C. until at least 2 percent and less than percent of lysophosphatides by weight of the total phosphatides and lysophosphatides present is formed, and then separating by solvent extraction the phosphatides and lysophosphatides from free fatty acids present.
2. A process according to claim 1, in which the unhydrolysed vegetable phosphatide is a crude hydrated vegetable phosphatide slime.
3. A process according to claim 1, comprising dispersing the hydrolysate in an organic solvent medium in which the free fatty acids are soluble and the phosphatides and lysophosphatides are insoluble, and recovering a partially hydrolysed phosphatide from the insoluble residue.
4. A process according to claim 3, comprising dispersing the dried hydrolysate in a first organic solvent in which the free fatty acids, phosphatides and lysophosphatides dissolve, adding to the solution a second organic solvent in which the free fatty acids are soluble but the phosphatides and lysophosphatides are insoluble until a phase containing the latter is precipitated, and separating the precipitated phase and recovering from it a purified partially hydrolysed phosphat'ide.
5. A process according to claim 3, comprising extracting the direct product of hydrolysis.
6. A process according to claim 5, in which the organic solvent medium is an alcohol or ketone of from one to three carbon atoms.

I store my navigation content in a navigation.xml file in the configs folder of my project.
Basically I have two modules, the default module that deals with e.g. authentication and basic page usage and the admin module to admininstrate the website.
When I sign in as admin a special admin navigation appears according to my acl and navigation.xml, a navigation element looks like that:
But I have a big Problem with the URL's of my website when I am logged in as admin. I developed my admin module quite late so the url's of the default module look like that:
$this->url(array('controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'contact'))
So I left out the 'module' => 'default' since I do not want the /default/ to appear in the browsers url bar.
When I visit a admin site, e.g. mysite.de/admin/ticket, all url's on my page that normally would point to default module now point to admin module and I get a bad request when I visit them.
$this->url(array('controller' => 'index', 'action' => 'contact'))
normally creates mysite.de/index/contact but on an admin page It becomes mysite.de/admin/index/contact.
Do I have to adjust all links and add the module information or is there another solution?

A long cruise - Barcelona, Spain - part 5
Park Guell is another UNESCO World Heritage Site that was designed by Antoni Gaudi.
It was the site of an unsuccessful building complex that was copied from some English garden designs. On a slope, it was for upper-class people who did not want the factory smoke in their homes about the turn of the 20th century.
These two structures were the only two houses completed. The project was basically abandoned as a housing complex in 1914.
The area was converted into a park when they realized that no one would purchase the houses. It is a public park and there is no entrance fee; however, it you want to be close to the architectural wonders, there is an admission charge.
Those columns were designed to look like tree trunks.
The design on this gate was created to mimic the look of palm fronds.
Some good work was done here. This photo was taken late afternoon.
This was our last stop in Barcelona. We were relieved to get back on Holland America's Maasdam. Tomorrow, we will be in Palma de Mallorca, our eighth port in nine days.

Great Save the Date
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I was really happy with my Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date magnets that I ordered through Magnet Street. They looked just as they were pictured and I was happy that I could change the color pallet and wording without any trouble. I was also able to order matching return address labels and seals to close the envelopes. They arrived very quickly, which was good for me and my fiance, because we needed them by the upcoming weekend so we could address them and send them out. I am definitely planning on getting my invites through Magnet Street, as well.
Watercolor Cluster Rectangle Invitations My fiancée and I were worried about our invitations because of prices, but we were relieved when we saw the prices here. Not only are the design beautiful and are a great quality but the prices are great. We were able to personalized the invitations with the EXACT colors we wanted and the end result was amazing. We still have to mail our invitations out but the people that have seen them were very impressed, and I can't wait to have everyone else see them.
Beautiful Wedding Programs
Watercolor Poppies Half-fold Programs I have used Magnet Street for everything from Save the Dates to my ceremony programs, and everything in between. I have loved everything about the ease of using the website and the friendliness of the Magnet Street staff. Most recently, I had accidentally made a huge error on the ceremony programs, and when I called Magnet Street to rectify this problem, they were more than accommodating in helping me to fix it and make sure I received exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be more pleased, and would most definitely recommend Magnet Street for all of you brides out there!!! It's just so pleasant to work with such a wonderful business during this crazy detail-oriented time of your life!
Awesome Thank-You Cards
Watercolor Ombre Thank You Cards I was able to select colors I had used in previous orders (I ordered my wedding invitations and programs from MagnetStreet as well) to match exactly on these thank-you cards. I was impressed with the high quality of the pressed texture paper - it feels like a real watercolor painting would! I am very pleased with the way they turned out and look forward to doing business with MagnetStreet again very soon :)
Great service!
Watercolor Poppies Rectangle Invitations Magnet street was a great company to order our wedding invitations from. I made my invitations online and the designer was really helpful on refining my choices. Also I made a mistake in my RSVP cards and didn't catch it in the proof, and when I had to reorder they were really awesome about the price and service. Everything was great. I will absolutely keep them in mind for future invitation and printing needs!

Author's Favorites
Tim Beyers is a regular Fool contributor. He's also a certified geek -- seriously, 9 of 10 hipsters surveyed agree -- who has covered everything from database technology to renewable energy to rubber-burning rocket ships. No, really, he likes that stuff. Yeah, we know, we think it's weird, too.
When he's not penning stories about stock splits, dividend reinvesting, and the joys of Rule Breaking, Tim is a freelance writer and PR and marketing consultant. Some of his former colleagues still can't believe he "went journo" on them by joining the Fool's freelance ranks in December 2003.
Tim reads when he can, watches The Apprentice for laughs, and invests in companies that generate piles and gobs and mountains of moolah! Yes, cash! Millions and millions of dollars in cash! Bwahahaha! Oops, sorry.
Tim's favorite investing book is still One Up On Wall Street. But Hewitt Heiserman Jr.'s It's Earnings That Count earns a close second. That one he read on a trip to Monte Carlo last year with his wife. When not traveling the globe, the couple lives in suburban Denver with their three children.

Lucy Rose
Bootleg Theater
2220 Beverly Blvd
Los Angeles, CA, 90057
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
"Each song is a confessional of her most tightly clasped secrets" The Fly
"A voice that could melt the stoniest of hearts" Q Magazine
"One of the country's most promising new voices" Sunday Times (Culture)
"Kicking up a storm in her own right" NME
"The song writing candour evident has seen Lucy Rose tipped for… solo success" Daily Mirror
"Lucy Rose is absolutely outstanding!" Edith Bowman, Radio 1
"Absolutely beautiful" Fearne Cotton, Radio 1
"I was only a matter of time before the second wave of British nu-folk pioneers made it to the U.S, and Lucy Rose, is sure to be among its first breakout stars" Vogue.com
Just four singles in, and with her star firmly in the ascendant, Warwickshire songstress Lucy Rose is making her own destiny and shaping her future like no other new artist. A mixture of true grit, sheer dedication and an unshakeable sense of self has all led Lucy to the kind of status that most new artists dream of but can only achieve through record company support. Until her recent signing to Columbia Records, Lucy Rose had none of this, but her heart-stoppingly poignant songs and cracked porcelain voice saw her enter 2012 with YouTube hits, radio plays and crowds like nobody else out there. Such is her fan-base, she now sells out 500-capacity venues with ease. Her first in-store at Rough Trade East in November was so over-subscribed that fifty latecomers were stuck outside. And at the tender age of 23, Lucy is being tipped by the great and the good as the one New British Artist who may stick around longer than any of the other fly-by-night contenders.
Along with press accolades, including Lucy's first ever front cover in January 2012 for The Fly and new band features at Sunday Times (Culture), NME, Daily Mirror, Music Week, etc, etc. Lucy Rose has been clocking up the airplay counts too. After support across both specialist shows and Fearne Cotton for singles Middle of the Bed and Scar at Radio 1, third single Red Face scored the coveted In New Music We Trust playlist there, while she was still unsigned. She's playlisted twice at 6 Music, with a C list for Scar and B list for Red Face, securing back to back Record of The Weeks with Shaun Keaveny's Breakfast show, as well as playlists for all three singles at Xfm. Lines saw a 6 Music A list and Radio 1 B List.
Lucy's journey began, when she hopped on a train to London leaving behind the house in which she grew up in rural Warwickshire and struck out for the big city and the big time. Armed with an acoustic guitar and an unstoppable dedication, Lucy played every open-mic night imaginable, she met people on the way who are still with her now and with their support and her graft she learned the ropes. As her songs and sentiments spread their warmth through the iciest of hearts, Lucy became that most modern of phenomenon; she went 'viral'. Her biggest videos have clocked up over 800,000 views and on average, her sessions and videos are receiving 250,000 views each.
In moving forward, Lucy decided to return home to record her debut album. Setting up in the basement where she once taught herself guitar, Lucy, the producer Charlie Hugall, recording team and band folded down their beds and mic'ing up the mixing desk. Scheduled for 24th September 2012 and with a nationwide headline tour already underway, be prepared for a confessional long player of disarming intimacy and candid truth. To quote the Daily Star: "So simple she makes Adele look try-hard".
Dresses is Timothy Heller and Jared Ryan Maldonado--a folk band from Portland, OR with a knack for pop songcraft.
The duo are fresh off a string of west coast tour dates supporting the likes of Kate Nash and Laura Stevenson and The Cans.
Their new album, Sun Shy, comes out digitally on September 3 and is available on vinyl, October 22.

A Pen, a Phone, and a Scepter
People were tired of America. It just wasn't cool anymore. They decided it would be much trendier to be like most of the rest of the world – that is, to live in a perpetually depressed collectivist hellhole under the heel of a self-interested dictator. So they let the cultural Marxists who run the media talk them into electing the classic other, Barack Hussein Obama. Credit where it's due — Obama is giving them what they asked for:
President Obama seems ready to work around Congress in 2014, telling reporters before his first Cabinet meeting of the year Tuesday that he stood ready to use two tools, a pen and a phone, to provide [collectivist misery and oppression] for Americans.
"We are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the [kick in the teeth they deserve]. I've got a pen, and I've got a phone. And I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that [quack quack quack]," the president said.
It isn't just because they were white men and owned slaves that liberals despise the Founding Fathers. What really sticks in their craw is that Jefferson, Madison, et al. foresaw that eventually our culture might decay to the point a Barack Obama could be elected president. They designed a system to allow us to weather such a presidency without degenerating into a dictatorship, until such time as we can recover our senses and our character.
This system works largely by dividing power between the branches of government. Obama is stating plain as the unsightly mole on his face that he plans to run roughshod over the primary brake on executive power, the legislative branch. He is essentially declaring his hostility to the Constitution he swore an oath to serve, and to the American way of government. No one should be surprised by this, least of all his implicitly anti-American supporters.
High on the emerging dictator's agenda are extending unemployment benefits indefinitely (i.e., expanding the vast number of Americans who vote instead of work for a living) and opening the Third World floodgates the rest of the way with amnesty (so as to permanently alter the country's demographics). Both initiatives are intended to "fundamentally transform" America, so that recovering our character will no longer be an option.
For the time being, the weight of America's destiny rests on Johnny Boehner's slumped shoulders. If he doesn't put up a hell of a fight, Congress will be steamrolled into irrelevance, and "Hope & Change" will be the title of America's final chapter.
On tips from Artfldr, Fawn Liebowitz Memorial Society, Ben S, Stormfax, and Torsten Ostermann. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

Chiropractor Promotes Better Human Communication
There is a definite correlation between patients with physical symptoms and their dissatisfaction with relationships, according to Dr. Trey Hoverson, a local chiropractor.
"We're chasing health when all we want are stronger relationships with a sense of purpose in this world" contends Dr. Hoverson adding that he tries to help people connect to their physical self so that they can fully connect to their community or relationships.
Dr. Trey, as he's known to his clients, gives lectures on human relationships as well as practicing chiropractic. He's given talks at various retirement communities where many residents go to him for physical relief. "And you know that after they've gotten that physical relief, they've developed stronger relationships with family, friends and community," he says.
He emphasizes the need for people to connect with one another in all aspects including both good and bad. He likens human relationships to a house of cards.
We do what we think will impress people, to make us look good and we hold back what we think might not benefit us but he says if people, in their relationships, don't share the bad as well as the good in them, then the house of cards will fall every time.
"You'll have nothing but a public relations type of relationship and not one that's fulfilling," says Dr. Trey
If we continue to represent something we're not, our disconnections in this world will continue to grow, but if we're brave enough to share who we are with each other, the world will become a better place including the health of the individual.

Billboard Bits: David Bowie, Gomez, Sufjan Stevens
News on David Bowie, Gomez, Sufjan Stevens
After postponing the first four shows of his North American A Reality tour due to the flu, David Bowie has put off another show scheduled for tomorrow (Dec. 12) at Toronto's Air Canada Centre. "David is slowly improving, and we are still hopeful that Montreal will go ahead on Saturday," a message on his official Web site says. "We can only judge these things day-to-day, and if there is any change in plan, we'll let you know the moment we find out."
The trek has so far missed dates in Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington, D.C. There is no word on when they will be made up.

Gomez is working on material for its fourth studio album, according to a statement from its label, Virgin Records. The band's most recent release, 2002's "In Our Gun," debuted at No. 37 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and has sold 40,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Michigan-based singer/songwriter Sufjan Stevens has signed to Rough Trade in the U.K., which will release his 2003 album, "Greetings From Michigan, the Great Lake State," overseas in early 2004. Rough Trade will also issue the follow-up, "Seven Swans," due in March. Sounds Familyre, a label owned by indie rock act the Danielson Famile, will release the album around the same time in the U.S.
"Greetings From Michigan" was the first release in a planned 50-CD series, with one album dedicated to each state. In late 2004, Stevens will release an album for Rough Trade in the U.K. and an as-yet-unnamed U.S. label, centered on Illinois. "Greetings From Michigan" was issued in the U.S. by Asthmatic Kitty Records, which has offices in New York and Lander, Wyoming.
"Seven Swans" is comprised of songs written during the recording of "Greetings From Michigan," and is said to be based upon Stevens' banjo playing. Stevens will perform at the Knitting Factory in New York on Jan. 22.

Another day in paradise :)
Nothing in life is easy or free so after years of pissing life away I've chosen to sacrifice today and enjoy tomorrow. I had my early 20s where I partied enough to mellow me out. I'm self employed and between my small business and my 2 munchkins very little time is left over for me. My social life sucks, I do enjoy going out every now and then but much rather do something with the kids or stay in watching a movie and relaxing. I can be a total jerk at times but I'm only that way to protect my kind loving and giving heart that always gets taken advantage of because my kindness always gets mistaken for weakness. So with time I've pretty much cut off everyone because I'll be damned if I get slapped in the face twice. I'm very close to my kids both are small my son 5 which I share with his mother 50/50 and my daughter 3 which I have sole custody of. I'd like to meet someone who already has children, I'm not trying to have any more lol. My kids and my business are my biggest priorities so if you don't mind being third on my list of priorities great if not you are just wasting both your and my time and that's just me being realistic
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing
Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Martial arts, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Middle of the Road
Downey billiards, movie theater, Huntington beach, Santa Fe dam
Music anything from 2pac to cafe tacuba to metallica to don omar to just about anything with good lyrics preferably that I can relate to or dance to. Hole in the wall taco joints, bucca di beppo, outback, cheese cake factory.
I don't have much free time to have fun but when I do get a chance to escape from everything I enjoy movies and dining out. The gym lately too, good times (so lame lol)

24 Jul 2013 02:59 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Brazil, Germany
US congressmen have forced a vote that could cut funding for the National Security Authority (NSA) and limit the scope of its vast surveillance activities.
The vote, which could come as early as Wednesday in the House of Representatives, will be the first held on limiting NSA spying since Edward Snowden leaked documents detailing the agency's extensive secret surveillance programme known as Prism.
Republican congressman Justin Amash tabled an amendment to a wider defence bill, which "ends authority for the blanket collection of records under the Patriot Act", and limits surveillance to individuals under investigation.
House opponents to Prism have tabled a second amendment to cut back the NSA's funding.
The US president, Barack Obama, who has spoken out in defence of the programme and said the widespread spying has prevented more than 50 "terrorist plots", sent the NSA chief, General Keith Alexander, to Capitol Hill to urge both Republican and Democratic politicians to oppose the move to restrict the agency's activities.
'Blunt approach'
"We oppose the current effort in the House to hastily dismantle one of our Intelligence Community's counterterrorism tools," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a late-night statement. "This blunt approach is not the product of an informed, open or deliberative process."
Amash tweeted on Tuesday: "Do Members of Congress want to go on record supporting unconstitutional, blanket collection of all Americans' phone records? We'll find out." Later, he tweeted: "US gov't has come out in full force against you, the American people. I will always stand with you & the Constituion I swore to defend."
Carney said Obama was still open to discussing the balance between security and privacy with Congress and Americans - but that he wants an approach that properly weighs what intelligence tools are needed to keep Americans safe.
Difficult challenge
The amendments face stiff challenges to being accepted, however. The House version would still have to be reconciled with a version being drawn up in the Senate and any eventual bill could still be vetoed by Obama.
Leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee have opposed them, citing the NSA's thwarting of attacks.
"Any amendments to defund the programme on appropriations bills would be unwise," said a Tuesday statement from Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein and Republican Saxby Chambliss.
The Prism revelations caused an international uproar against what many view as an invasion of privacy.
Numerous countries, including Germany and Brazil, have also spoken out against the programme.
Tea Party conservatives, liberal Democrats and libertarians - such as Amash - have all backed the proposed amendments.

Gdansk, as far as I know, LNNK and Law and Justice have committed no crimes. The context to the article is that the UK Conservative Party have gone into alliance with these parties. In Britain, parties with similar agendas would be seen as "dodgy" - perhaps like the BNP. The Economist is appealing for some understanding for these parties from people in places like Britain - because our country, due to pure luck, didn't suffer the same sort of history.
I understand the argument but disagree. If these parties are dodgy, what-if history doesn't make them any less so. And I don't think people who have experienced this history, but neverthess reject parties like LNNK and Justice and Law, would expect us to change our minds just because we didn't share their history.
Sorry, must have missed something here. What exact LNNK and Law and Justice "crimes" is this article trying to justify with Auschwitz and Katyn?
And why hasn't Labour and the Guardian reported these crimes yet to the Hague?
Further to my post below, I must also add that it isn't just the Germans. Even though their countries suffered grievously during and after the second World War, lots of Poles and Latvians don't share the values of the LNNK and Law and Justice parties either.
What if... A great demonstration of the moral ambiguities and grey areas of history.
As long as you keep history in the past.
The article goes seriously off-beam when it attempts to use these what-if's to justify the Latvian and Polish present. The argument is: people who haven't been through this history can't criticise those that have. Because if we had gone through the same history we would be the same as them now.
I should point out that Germans, on the whole, don't share the values of the Latvian LNNK and Polish Law and Justice parties, even though they, of course, went through the Waffen SS experience with knobs on.
Yes, we need to understand the past. But if the real past doesn't the justify the present, then the past which might have happened, but didn't, justifies it even less.
Sorry if I upset some with my comments, but the current Torie allies arent' exactly mainstream at the scale of the EU, even if they are in their respective countries.
To move on from this debate here is a link from a Charlemagne article published in July:
The fact as described in this article is that the British conservatives have marginalised themselves in Europe. They have alienated themselves the support of the major ruling parties in the Union at the time when Cameron looks up to becoming UK new prime minister. They have allied themselves with people who don't share much values with them, other than being opposed to further integration. And finally they have federated against them the 3 main 'federalist' groups of the European parliament.
I fail to see how this is going to benefit the Conservative party's agenda (it seems it is causing major disagreements within the party itself) and how is this going to help the UK's position within the EU.
If as many British do believe the EU was of litte importance to UK, it would be fine, but the truth is that the UK is firmly part of the EU. Weakening the British representation in the Union will certainly not benefit to the current UK euroscepticism.
Maybe it was all along Mr Cameron's idea, let the most extreme antieuropean ideas of his party come to the front stage so they can more easily be proven idiotic and irrelevant.
In all cases I can see this situation benefiting greatly the Federalist agenda, and making further European integration much easier, without the discording British contribution.
Imaginative and sensitising approach towards others' history. Rare in an island state used to over-objectified views of the world.
I don't think Britain is the only European country preoccupied with its own naval. EU politics are hardly an emotive issue in most countries. For too long its been a two country show: Germany and France. Either that or the social democrats as they call themselves now. So unless you like pink, the only other political option would be to serve French or German national interests. And yet Europe is made up of many other nations. The EPP is a party predominantly serving German interests, whereas AEN represents a greater number of other nations. This attack on the glib rather than radical Michał Kaminsky, all those nasty insinuations, could mean that some people in Europe are fearing that a cosy EU set up could be badly shaken by a new factor in European politics. Who knows, European politics might even become interesting?
Echoing the last sentence, we 'should try approaching other countries' wartime history with more humility and less self-satisfaction'. That I agree with, the rest kind of misses the point. Whether this article really opens some eyes in Britain remains to be seen, but frankly, as long as we have to employ the old war stories to make a point about a peaceful Europe, we haven't got very far yet, have we. If Britain continues to navel-gaze or look across the atlantic instead of across the channel, then there's little the rest of Europe can do to help fight this latent euro-scepticism. I'm just glad the Irish referendum robbed the Conservatives of their chance to instrumentalise it for some more anti-European PR.
I suppose this article is confusing to many readers because it tries to deal with more than one country at once. After all, Latvia and Poland are quite different countries, with quite different wartime histories. Perhaps the only thing they had in common was the fact that as a consequence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in the autumn of 1939 both were officially wiped off the map of Europe. What that meant in reality was the arrest of state officials and other national leaders and, usually, their murder. The big difference between Latvia and Poland was that whereas the former experienced such treatment from the Russian Soviets only, the latter also or even more so experienced it from the German Nazis. Thus when in 1941 Nazi Germany invaded Soviet Russia, it was natural for the Latvians to side with Germany, whereas for the Poles there was absolutely no such incentive.
It has to be stressed that throughout the war (from 1 Sept 1939 to 8 May 1945) Polish patriots fought the Germans on all the fronts of Europe and North Africa. No Polish SS unit was ever formed, though it is absolutely true that many SS guards at Auschwitz spoke perfectly good Polish. However, one has to understand that these people joined the SS not as Poles, but as German nationals, i.e. they were traitors of Poland. And of course, what Stephen Fry failed to notice is that fact that KL Auschwitz was first built on the new German side of the border to hold Polish political prisoners. This was perfectly obvious to Poles in 1940. After all, the first Poles were sent to KL Stutthof (near Danzig/Gdansk) as early as 2nd Sept 1939. The arrest of Oxford University professors and their deportation to a Nazi concentration camp in November 1939 really did happen, except that it wasn't of course Oxford but the Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland's oldest, as part of Sonderaktion Krakau. Likewise the slaughter country's top politicians, athletes and radio presenters was really enough, not in Epping Forest of course, but in Palmiry just outside Warsaw. So much for secret Polish collaboration with the German Nazis, so much for the so-called phoney war.
As Thistle7 has already pointed out Jozef Piłudski was many things but certainly not a "rabid" anti-Semite. Felipe Coelho was proibably thinking of Piłsudski's political rival, Roman Dmowski. Yet even here we have to make further qualifications. Even before the war, Polish law was in many respects more generous towards national minorities, than Germany is in the 21st century. Poland was actually one of the few countries willing to receive Jewish immigrants, thus their population rose, and this further exacerbated already existing social tensions. These tensions primarily concerned commercial rivalry (shops) and places in universities. When the war broke out such issues became irrelevant (the children of Polish gentiles were not allowed to have a secondary education, let alone go to univeristy). Therefore the association of such anti-Semitism with the Jewish Holocaust is ridiculous. Zofia Kossak-Szczucka was a pre-war anti-Semite who during the war helped found Zegota, the Polish Home Army unit exclusively devoted to rescuing Jews.
Fortunately, an increasingly large number of Jewish scholars as well as a younger and less prejudiced generation of Western scholars together with Polish scholars are starting to make considerable progress in coming to a mutual understanding of these complex and painful issues. I was pleasantly surprised by a very fair and balanced article by David Cesarani in the Guardian of places.
WTF? That was quite an in depth and thought out version of alternate history wasn't it? Also, I'm not quite sure what it comments on.
To my mind this article was all about how allegations of prejudice can be a form of prejudice itself.
Please don't pre-judge the people of Poland and stereotype their culture. Everyone agrees that two years ago an unpopular and short-lived Polish government said and did things that were illiberal. But your news item is over 2 years out of date. That government got in to power through skulduggery, it had a short term, was forced to call an election and was voted out on a landslide. Much has changed since then. Even the MEP in question, Michal Kaminski, is in favour of civil partnership for homosexuals and has spoken of his friendship with privately gay colleagues in his party.
The leader of the allegedly "neo-nazi leaning party" you speak of was instrumental in starting the Museum of the History of Polish Jews and is suspicious of Germany because of its Nazi past. Despite what some British spin doctors would like us to believe, the party is conservative, not neo-Nazi. During the McCarthy era, many Democrats were smeared as communists. Surely witch-hunts have gone out of fasion?
@Felipe Coelho
You refer to "the rabidly anti-jewish East European nationalists like Pilsudski". In fact Pilsudski was an anti-nationalist, and was supported by the Polish Socialist Party. He had an extremely close friendship with Polish Jews, who turned out to mourn his death in 1935 as if he was one of their own. Stalin rabidly smeared Pilsudski as a nationalist, because Pilsudski was a free-thinking man of the left, and a patriot who defeated the Soviets in battle.
I include myself in this: Let's all look at our own prejudices first, before we rush to look at the prejudices of others.
Thistle7: Sadly Poland has diverged from its historically enlightened culture of tolerance , and is now notorious throughout Europe for its intolerance and homophobic violence.
Stephen Fry would have been right to criticise.
I am 72 years old and remember literally decades ago a film, presumably British-made, which dealt with exactly this subject. Actually just a German occupation, no Soviet involvement. As I recall, the film dealt with all aspects of British-German collaboration -- euthanasia,a British Waffen SS division (I think it was called "The Black Prince")and others.It depicted London with German military signposts and other elements of total German subjugation. It was, in my opinion, very realistically presented and caused a storm of protest in the U.K.principally because of the very idea that the English/British would turn into such enthusiastic collaborators.
I wonder if this film, the title of which I have forgotten, is still in archives somewhere?
I must point out a few incoherence of this article and it's overall irrelevance.
Pogroms for example are mentioned as being the fact of this imaginary English Nazis, but in the real world pogroms were the facts Russian/Ukrainian populations from the 19th century onward, long before Nazi's and Communist appeared.
This article and those who make praise of it baffle me.
If you want to get in touch with what it mean to be under Nazi or Communist regims, please don't bother with fantasy stories about an invaded UK, just cross the channel, there is plenty left to show what it meant.
And reducing the war to a Nazi vs communist fight is simplistic and untrue.
Finally it does in no way explain how Mr Cameron, UK prime minister to be, would prefer the company of neo-nazis to moderate right wing european parties.
That a neo-nazi leaning party is main stream in Poland or Latvia does in now way dampen the sick and twisted nature or their ideology.
A very good text but some of the comments seem to miss the main point: humility is in order everywhere
(at least in Europe and European-derived societies).
Hitler or Stalin had nothing new to tell us, all the European powers behaved similarly at some moments of their history. The forced labor and land robbery practices that the French, the British, the Belgians and the Portuguese did in XIX and XX century Africa were very much like the ones of the Nazis (and, before the XIX century, the Portuguese, the Spaniards, and the Dutch behaved similarly, and England did the same in Ireland, etc, etc).
Concerning the extermination or expulsion of troublesome/undesirable minorities in their own land or in occupied countries, please!!! It was usual practice, in some cases a few thousands, in other a few millions, like in Congo.
It is not a question of good and bad guys, History must just be known in order not to repeat herself.
The German nazis, the Baltic nazis, the Croat nazis, the French collaborators or the rabidly anti-jewish East European nationalists (like Pilsudski) can not be justified in any way. The Soviet criminals - Lenin and Stalin - can not also be justified by the war crimes of the German militarists or by the Czarist atrocities.
And the existence of this bunch of bad guys can also not be used to justify atrocious Israeli policies against non-Jews in occupied lands or in nearby countries. Neither Katyn justifies Auschwitz, nor Treblinka justifies Gaza.
Regards from Rio
Thank you The Economist for the excellent idea. Thank you Thistle7 for two excellent posts!
I'd just add to the gay rights theme. Thistle7 has pointed out that homosexuality was decriminalised in Poland in 1932. We should also add that no Polish government or parliament had ever actually declared homosexuality to be a crime. The anti-homosexual laws were imposed not by Poland but by the foreign powers that occupied Poland for 123 years (1795-1918).
Interestingly enough, the very same powers - Germany, Austria and Russia - that partitioned Poland in 1939. This was quite literally to be the fourth and final partition of Poland. Thus in keeping with the secret clauses of the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, the first priority of not only Soviet Russia but also of Nazi Germany was to eliminate Poland's elites.
To get back to the occupied Britain analogy, let us image that somewhere way up north, the Soviet NKVD murder 20 to 30,000 British Army and Police officers. But further south even before that happens, even before the Germans decide what to do with England's many Jews(at first they isolate them from the rest of society in ghettos), in November 1939 a Nazi commissar summons all of Oxford University's outstanding professors to special meeting in one of the lecture theatres and then has them all arrested. These elderly scholars are next shipped off to a Nazi concentration somewhere on the continent. Meanwhile, say, in Epping Forest, the Germans massacre British Olympic athletes, British politicians and other British social leaders. All British secondary schools are closed and in Birmingham the Reichsfurhrer-SS declares that Britons are to become a nation of helots, only able to count up to ten and read road signs. Oh, and I could go on, because this is turning up to be such fun! The Germans are eventually defeated, but the other invader of Britain, Russia, remains for another 40 years or so, gets to keep the whole of Scotland and quite a bit more, say, York. Oh, and the helotization of Britons continues apace, so much so, that now a Briton showing any signs of patriotism is immediately labelled a marginal, far-right, ultra-Anglican, xenophobic, anti-Semitic, Russophobic, homophobic, aged and uneducated nationalist.
The Economist writes: "Mr Fry is entitled to criticise Poland's record on gay rights..." of course he is! Especially now that it's as much a free country as any. And should he visit Poland, as Thistle7 suggest, he might learn a few more interesting facts about Poland, we really are a forgiving lot.
P.S. One slight difference between Anglicanism in England and Catholicism in Poland is that the later is not a state religion, at least not since the 16th century, when full religious tolerance was introduced. Goes a long way to explain the historically large Jewish population in Poland (Polin) and the absence of anti-homosexual laws.
Dear Stephen Fry,
I am sure you or your PR team will read this article and the comments below it. I have a friendly suggestion. If you would like to make amends with the many gay people in Poland who felt you have made a prejudiced remark about the history of gay rights in their country, why not travel to Poland and make a documentary about Polish homosexuality?
You could listen to the music of Karol Szymanowski, the great Polish composer who lived a happy life with his gay partner in Warsaw when your hero Oscar Wilde was being persecuted in London.
You could read the literature of Witold Gombrowicz, the great Polish writer, who practised a flamboyantly gay lifestyle in the roaring Warsaw of the 1920s.
And you could investigate why, in 1932, Poland was the first country in Europe to decriminalize homosexuality. You might ask yourself why it took your country another staggering 35 years to catch up with Poland by decriminalizing homosexuality in 1967.
You might visit Aaron Katz, the Reform Rabbi of Warsaw, who is openly gay and happily practising Judaism and who is an integral part of Poland's Jewish Revival.
You might also interview Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of the party you allege is so homophobic. You might ask him whether it is any of our business why he is unmarried and doesn't have a girlfriend. And you might ask whether some people have the right to a private sexual life, out of the limelight, without judgement. Or should we publicize our personal identity to give us the moral right to judge others' degree of prejudice?
I think you are in a position to offer an olive branch. And Poles are extremely good at accepting olive branches - it might be something to do with that Catholic culture you mentioned. Come on Stephen, lighten up and fly over to Poland and do something nice. You'll also sell more books and TV shows. Poles really are getting sick of Clarkson's brand of Englishman. And you mind even find a Polish plumber.
Anyway, you will be shown a lot of good will in return.
Great to see a western European journalist trying to (a) understand the Eastern European psyche and (b) understand the underlying causes of the region's insecurity.
More stories like this during last year's Russo-Georgian war would have helped Western European governments make much better informed decisions.
Keep it up.
Thanks To Economist for such a story type explanation of history. It is absolutely clear what has happened in Latvia,and other post Soviet countries. Unfortunately only for those who suffered.
We have saying that "the one who has been fed will never understand those who is hungry"
