She rides a Harley and wears a full-length fur, but don't draw any conclusions about Trina Dru Gordon.
The president and chief executive officer of Boyden World Corp. racks up mileage these days in a conservative navy pinstripe suit and prefers consensus-building over a more swashbuckling CEO style. Her approach has been honed, after all, over more than three decades of identifying the right executives for top roles in retail and consumer products companies.
Gordon, a veteran Chicago headhunter and the executive search firm's first female CEO, has spent the past 20 months trying to wrangle Boyden's far-flung global franchises into a united brand, even as it struggles with new competition and declining industrywide revenues.
Capping that effort later this month at a company meeting in Cape Town, South Africa, Gordon plans to unveil a substantial professional development program called Boyden University, an internal live and online training and information exchange designed to link offices more closely to win business rather than competing against each other. It's a major initiative on Gordon's watch, an investment aimed at getting the company's independently owned offices working together.
While declining to offer specifics before deals are announced, she has been emphasizing opportunities to develop executive talent in emerging markets. The company will also open new global offices this year and add staff in key existing markets.
The moves come amid the backdrop of wrenching change in recent years in an industry that has struggled with a recession and competition from online job-search sites and networking sites like LinkedIn. Those enable employers to directly access a much wider pool of candidates.
Industry revenue declined 6.4 percent in 2012, to $9.74 billion, and was 11.5 percent below the high in 2008, according to the Association of Executive Search Consultants.
Gordon, who works from the Chicago office of the Purchase, N.Y.-based firm, sees a niche in leveraging the firm's international footprint to go after more high-level assignments, the C-suite and board searches that typically aren't carried out online.
"Emerging markets will be critical for us because they're critical for our clients," she said. The newest emerging markets in Asia might not have a deep talent pool yet, for example, but the firm can identify candidates through its Latin American offices who have recently logged success there, she said.
"She's attempting to revitalize a great name in this business," said Robert Benson, an industry veteran who runs a consulting business. "Every one of the recruiting firms is faced with, 'How am I going to differentiate myself in a market where I'm competing with my own clients for the work that's out there?'"
Bristling with talent
Sid Boyden founded his namesake firm in New York in 1946, just ahead of today's biggest players, which include Chicago's Heidrick & Struggles and Spencer Stuart, according to a 50-year retrospective written in 2009 by the Association of Executive Search Consultants.
It was an intensely clubby, male-dominated industry that came late to the women's movement, a source of frustration as Gordon tried to make a name for herself in the business. Her strategy: learning everything possible about a client, whether it meant hanging around trade shows or checking out retail displays.
"I wasn't always the first person that would draw the attention of the client in the room," she said of her early career, which began in 1977 with William H. Clark Associates, a Chicago recruiting firm. "I learned everything, so that when I spoke there was some credibility behind it."
She did, however, garner attention from Clark President Richard McCallister, who hired Gordon after she graduated from Auburn University and married her about two years later.
One of her Auburn professors had called McCallister asking if he'd see her and give her a few pointers on interviewing for jobs.
"I agreed to meet with her but told (the professor) we had no current job opportunities," he recalled. "After a 45-minute conversation, I took her to lunch and took her around the office to meet other partners. By 4 p.m. I hired her.
"Some people just bristle with talent and composure. There was just something about how she handled herself … a sophistication beyond her years. It was the best hire I ever made."
Today he's a managing partner in Chicago, meaning it's husband reporting to wife — albeit with a caveat.
McCallister merged the firm with Boyden in 1989, and Gordon became a Boyden equity partner in 1995. After her husband had spent about a decade on the Boyden board, he stepped down, and she joined the board in 2001. She was elected board chair for the first of a pair of two-year terms beginning in 2007.
The privately held company, which does not divulge annual revenue figures, has an unusual governance structure. Its far-flung offices are independently owned franchises whose owners elect a board of directors from their own ranks. The board selects the CEO, and there are no outside directors. So, in effect, the roughly 250 partners hold a lot more power over the corporate center than would, for example, McDonald's franchisees.
With Gordon's term as chair, a nonexecutive role, ending in 2011, she began thinking hard about throwing her hat into the ring to become CEO, an operations job where she would have to herd offices often competing against each other for clients into a seamless group that could survive external challenges.
She served a few months as interim CEO after the departure of CEO Chris Clarke, who had been on the job 11 years, and won the permanent job in July 2011, though it was made official in October of that year, she said.
Since that time, in addition to having an aggressive travel schedule to promote the brand, she has replaced some executives in regional offices and made a couple of hires in the marketing and professional development area.
"We still have our areas of challenge, but today we have a more rigorous commitment to growth," said James Hertlein, managing director of Boyden's Houston office and a member of the board.
She took over during a difficult time, and revenues haven't turned around, but the seeds are in place, he said.
"The commitment of the offices to the collective goals of the organization are stronger than they've ever been," Hertlein said. "We've had situations where performance (at certain offices) didn't meet expectations, and we've taken action. Under Trina, that's happened a little more frequently.
"She's introduced a new discipline at the office level, requiring more concrete plans and holding people accountable."
Acting fast
The board considered other internal and external candidates but decided Gordon could make the most change quickly given her existing relationships in the firm and her long career in active searches before that, Hertlein said.
James Lillie, CEO of Jarden Corp., parent company to consumer brands including Coleman and Marmot, is a longtime client.
"Trina understands our DNA," Lillie said. "We may not hire the smartest person. We want the best person who fits with our alchemy and can row the boat with us."
As for her management style, Gordon says she likes starting committees to work on internal projects because it spreads the word quickly about what needs to be done.
And she advises executives in new positions to take control early of a few key projects.
"Absolutely prioritize your agenda," she said, adding that nothing derails a new top hire faster than unfocused leadership. "Focus on the critical things, and drive those priorities to achievement."
Meanwhile, McCallister and Gordon say the marriage has survived the turnabout in corporate roles quite nicely, thank you, though they try to minimize shoptalk at home.
"We have the 'no business after 5 on Friday, until 8 on Monday' rule,'' he said. "You have to, though we rarely see each other during the week," he said, alluding to Gordon's business travel schedule. For the past 26 years, though, the couple have carved out time alone to celebrate their anniversary on the Amalfi Coast.
Gordon says she has visited about 85 percent of the firm's roughly 65 global offices and routinely books speaking engagements overseas as she tries to build the company's image and get offices to work together more effectively. She spends about a week a month at the New York corporate office, and she just completed a swing through Asia, with stops including Singapore, Shanghai and Hong Kong to meet partners and speak to business groups.
When not traversing the globe or riding the Harley (her husband had one first, but she didn't want to ride on the back, he says), Gordon serves on civic boards and has been involved with groups promoting the advancement of women in the workplace, including The Chicago Network.
She is president of Friends of Prentice, the charity benefiting Prentice Women's Hospital, and is on the executive committee of Northwestern Memorial Foundation's board of directors. She and McCallister recently pledged $1 million in future gifts to Prentice.
On a recent afternoon, she walked through the Prentice space and its connection to the new Children's Memorial Hospital with Stephen Falk, president of Northwestern Memorial Foundation, comparing notes on different aspects of the facility.
"Trina's intensity keeps us focused on what needs to be done," Falk said. "She'll often start a meeting saying, 'This is what we need to get done before we leave this room.' There's little to no ambivalence."
That intensity paid off in 2010, when Gordon helped start Run for Prentice, a fundraising effort tied to the Chicago Marathon. Gordon ran the race the first year and keeps her participation medal in a frame in her office.
Carol Lavin Bernick, CEO of Polished Nickel Capital Management, recalled an awkward time when she and Gordon were working on another charity project for Prentice. A donor offered to help sponsor an event, but other donors let it be known they didn't approve because of some ethical lapses, Bernick said.
"We ended up turning down the money because it was the right thing to do, but I just remember how tactfully Trina handled it," she said.
That quality pays off in her work life too, as she tries to get partners to collaborate on winning business.
"It takes a lot of consistent communication and a lot of value demonstration that this is the place we need to be," she said, responding to a question about the pace of change at the company. "Internally, it's been a very big evolution for our firm."

Today I finished the census data entry for Charles Elmore Collins (m. Edward Johnson Butler) and their descendants I could locate through 1930. Next I need to do census work on Elmore's sister Susan Eva Collins. I have enough hints/clues re her two marriages to hopefully trace her and her children at least through the 1930 census. I already have her 1942 death certificate.
After I research Susan's family my plan is to create a register report of Francis Marion Collins & Polly B. Monroe descendants and link it to our Johnson_Monroe Yahoo site and have it available to you for a time. My plan also includes a link to a Monroe/Collins photo album. Let's hope I get this done!!!

We have released the Test Thirteen from the CLATGyan Test Series 2018 and it will be accessible on the online test portal (details of which have already been sent to you on your respective email addresses). The thirteenth test is a sectional test from the Maths section and the topics covered in the test are time & work, selling price & cost price, time, speed & distance and ratio & proportion.
Click here to download the detailed brochure for the CLATGyan Test Series 2018.
Before you decide on taking the test, make sure that you're mentally prepared for it. That means you would be required to put aside two hours for just attempting the mock. Since you will be doing this from the comfort of your home, it would be better if you create an atmosphere that makes it conducive for an examination. Keep household chores on hold and the urge to check social media at bay.
Most crucially, attempt the tests as and when they are released. Keeping them pending because you think you will take them in the last month before CLAT is a bad idea. It goes against what mocks aim to do and that is, they give you a glimpse of what your preparation is like. If you figure that out now, you have room (erm, time) for improvement and you don't have to go through all that trauma of wondering where you faltered.
A good score for Test 13 will be around 75 to 85 (out of 100). Do send your scores to your personal mentor we had allotted and ask him/her for advice on how to strengthen areas that you are weak in. Also remember that you can only benefit from a test if you understand why an answer of yours has turned out to be right or wrong. So, make sure you go through all the questions once you are done with the test.
For all other queries or doubts, write us a mail at: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I usually promote the idea of buying the best that you can at the point you are buying, but stay one step back from the bleeding edge. Another thing to consider is the characteristics of the application that you are going to be running. For instance, does it consider that each node is roughly equivalent and doles out work to be done in identically sized pieces. When this is the case you get into problems where slower nodes will seriously impact the overall performance because the sibling faster nodes are sitting around doing nothing for much of the time. -Dean

Melville High School
Hypnagogia explores the concept of lucid dreaming, specifically the ambiguous state between wakefulness and sleep. A hypnagogic state combines vivid images of realism with the surreal impossibilities of distortion and imagination. I show this juxtaposition by contrasting the detail of the pen with the explosive randomness of the lithographic prints. Passing through this state is usually passive and uncontrolled, so I emphasised the notion of 'entanglement' or 'entrapment' with the addition of entwining hair, tentacles and varying abstract forms.

Dicky Beach named after the ship wreck SS Dicky.
One of only two beaches in the world named after a shipwreck.
The iron remains of the ship are visible in the foreground. Taken on a hot Sunday.
On the Sunshine Coast of Queensland on the Pacific Ocean.
There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes.

Tiffany (NYSE:TIF) unleashed a tepid full-year outlook on Friday, but said it was optimistic aggressive expansion plans and new management hires can help it deliver "healthy" growth.
Continue Reading Below
The New York-based luxury jewelry maker, known for its baby blue boxes, is anticipating fiscal 2014 earnings in the range of $4.05 to $4.15 a share, assuming sales rise by a high-single-digit percentage.
Analysts in a Thomson Reuters poll were calling for stronger earnings of $4.28 a share.
The mixed outlook comes as Tiffany reports a loss of $104 million, or 81 cents a share for the fourth quarter. Excluding a charge of $2.27 a share related to an adverse court ruling against Swatch, the company said it earned $190 million, or $1.47 a share.
While up from $180 million, or $1.40, a year ago, that's short of the consensus view of $1.52.
Revenue for the three months ended Jan. 31 grew 5% to $1.3 billion as sales improved across its key U.S., European and Asian markets. Same-store sales, a growth metric of sales at stores open longer than a year, increased 6%.
"Sales and operating earnings (excluding the arbitration-related charge) rose to record levels," Tiffany CEO Michael Kowalski said in a statement.
Looking toward the new fiscal year, Kowalski said the jeweler is enthusiastic and focused on delivering "healthy rates" of sales and earnings growth.
Meanwhile, Tiffany announced a new $300 million stock buyback program set to take place over the next three years.
Its shares fell 1.6% to $89.66 in recent trade. They remain up about 32% on the year.

Survivor of Virginia Tech: Now is the Time to Discuss U.S. Gun Policy
The nation is still reeling in the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, when a sole gunman murdered at least 59 people and injured over 500 at a concert. Many politicians say the focus should be on comfort for the victims and their families, rather than America's gun policies. Colin Goddard, a survivor of the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech, compares that potential discussion to those after a hurricane or plane accidents, saying "these conversations are normal for logical societies to have after a tragedy." Goddard, now a gun safety advocate, sits down with Soledad O'Brien to share his perspective on why Congress has failed to enact gun policy supported by the majority of Americans and why he says restrictions would not violate the 2nd amendment.

text: Hello, At the moment we have a client who want's to have full mobile and also desktop integration with its email service. In a simple way he want's to have all its information synchronized between its: - Desktop Mail Application (Microsoft Outlook or Mac Mail) - Phone (Android and iPhone) - Webmail At the moment this client is hosted on a standard Linux, cPanel server with Roundcube as webmail interface so he his using IMAP on its desktop and also phone, but as said before he needs more information to be synchronized, so besides emails he also needs: - Contacts - Calendar - Notes After i beed researching i have found that want the client wants is something similar to what Microsoft Exchange offers, and i also found the following products from Rackspace Email and Atmail that have that kind of features as you can see at: http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/rackspace_email/on_your_mobile/ http://atmail.com/features But the problem with the above two solution is that they are paid and commercial solutions and i'm looking to find a open-source / free solution. So my idea is to buy a new and clean server to act just as email server with ISPConfig3 installed. So regarding this does anyone has any kind of advice or suggestion? Thanks and Regards

Porchscapes, an affordable neighborhood development on an 8-acre site in southeast Fayetteville, is an example of low-impact development, where streets and stormwater systems are modeled after nature. Photo courtesy of the University of Arkansas Community Design Center.
Emphasizing the city as ecology, or ecosystem, Steve Luoni and his colleagues in the University of Arkansas Community Design Center lead a movement toward intelligent design of urban landscapes that will reduce energy consumption and limit impact on the environment.
Luoni, professor of architecture and director of the center, presented the main principles of this movement recently at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in San Diego. Luoni focuses on six design models that demonstrate the essentials of what he calls recombinant ecologies, which are urban centers and landscapes that feature:
"Recombinant ecologies offer new forms of energy management requiring less fossil fuels by recombining social and environmental measures into economic development," Luoni said. "They solve problems through biological and urban patterns simultaneously. Their design promotes self-organization, emergence, resilience and productive forms of feedback between environment and the city. Done properly, recombinant ecologies manage natural capital in the delivery of environmental and urban services."
Exactly how does one solve modern urban problems – nonpoint-source pollution, poor flood control and water quality, erosion and climate disturbance, for example – through biological patterns? In Campus Hydroscapes, a 2,000-foot watershed regeneration project for College Branch on the University of Arkansas campus, Luoni and his colleagues propose restoring ecological functions to an urban stream that cuts through the university's athletic complex.
While massive structures, such as the university's football stadium and basketball arena, cannot be moved, the design team proposes "re-wilding" exposed sections of the creek by re-introducing native trees and plants to stabilize creek banks. They also will incorporate nature's riffle-glide-pool channel design to better control erosion and restore the broader flood plain, including parking areas with permeable surfaces, to mitigate flooding and allow nature to treat pollutants and other chemicals on site. The plan also includes a park and recreational areas along the riparian corridor.
With assistance from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ecological engineering professor Marty Matlock, and McClelland Consulting Engineers Inc., a local firm, Luoni's team is also working on Porchscapes, a 43-unit, affordable neighborhood development on an 8-acre site in southeast Fayetteville. The project is an example of low-impact development, a type of residential or commercial development in which the design of streets and stormwater systems are modeled after nature to manage rainfall locally through a vegetated treatment network that keeps water onsite.
In Visioning Rail Transit in Northwest Arkansas: Lifestyles and Ecologies, the center's study advocating political and grassroots support for construction of a light rail system, Luoni argues that northwest Arkansas could be a national model of smart growth if the region would progressively shape its expansion based on transit-oriented development rather than chasing expansion retroactively by building streets to reach new developments on the margins of its various communities. Luoni emphasizes that the geographical location and growth patterns of the region's cities are ideal for light-rail transit.
Light rail systems concentrate populations, which relieves the stress of being forced to come up with more or different energy sources, Luoni says. These systems function most efficiently as peak-demand transportation systems. Automobiles and buses, as transportation modes, distribute populations and do not create economic and social benefits.
"Viewing and designing the city as an ecosystem will facilitate lower energy and land consumption through novel solutions that leverage social creativity and a sense of place," says Luoni, who holds the Steven L. Anderson Chair in Architecture and Urban Studies.

What's a tip for celebrating a holiday or milestone with your kids when your partner isn't able to be there?
Go above and beyond! No birthday or holiday is too small to celebrate. It doesn't have to be gifts; it can be certain things you do, like going to the park and spending time together or having a "drive-in" in your living room; do your best to make it special.
I always sent my husband themed care packages and this is a great way to involve the children as well. Make cards, banners, etc and turn it from a negative to a positive!
And of course, pictures and movies are a must! Take a ton of pictures, not only to show your partner every single detail, but it will give the kids a chance to explain what was happening in each picture.

A man suspected of robbing a Honesdale bank last month is behind bars and awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania after footprints in the snow led to a break in the case.
Steven French, 48, is charged with robbery, terroristic threats and simple assault.
He is accused of walking up to a teller at Citizens Savings Bank, 335 Willow Ave., Honesdale, on Feb. 20 with a tote bag and a note stating he had a gun, and an ultimatum for the teller: Act quickly and naturally and everyone will be safe.
He pushed the bag toward her and said, "Hurry," Wayne County District Attorney Janine Edwards said in a news release.
French walked out with $2,420 in cash, but borough and state police were on the trail.
Surveillance footage showed that he ran south from the bank shortly after the robbery, leaving behind a trail of size 9 1/2 footprints in the snow. They led to the side door of a tattoo parlor at 164 Grandview Ave.
At the parlor, police found Mr. French and took a photograph of him but took no further action. Officials did not specify in the release why French was not taken into custody. Authorities could not be reached for comment. Edwards said that afterward French took a taxi to Dover, N.J.
Two days later, Honesdale police interviewed Bill French, the owner of the parlor and French's brother. He told police that his brother stayed with him for three days before abruptly leaving without saying goodbye. He told police that he was missing a pair of black winter gloves, a green cloth tote bag and size 9 1/2 shoes.
Police showed the teller eight photographs, including Steven French. The teller identified him as the robber.
Handwriting samples from a letter Steven French wrote a few years prior were similar to the note given to the teller, investigators said.
French was taken into custody by the Secaucus, N.J., Police Department on Thursday. He remains in custody there.

Author Notes: Schiacciata is a Tuscan focaccia, the word literally means "flattened" and describes the shape of this favourite bread. This recipe is inspired by my favourite Florentine baked good, which, towards the end of the summer starts appearing in bakery windows around the city: Schiacciata all'Uva, a focaccia made with two layers of bread dough with sweet, round concord grapes in the middle and on top. Simple and delicious.
This cherry tomato schiacciata is made in much the same way, but I've made it with spelt or farro flour (and just a touch of plain flour to help hold the dough together), which has a really tasty, nutty flavour, the season's ripest cherry tomatoes and a generous layer of ricotta in the middle.
Although, the Florentines really don't deter too much from their filled Schiacciata all'Uva recipe, essentially, the options are endless. You could use fresh mozzarella, smoky scamorza or a tangy goats cheese, fresh herbs such as basil or mint, or dried spices like fennel seeds or cumin. Vegetables like radicchio or zucchini would be great too, but there's just one rule: keep it very simple. Less is more with this delectable portable lunch or snack!
If you don't have spelt flour on hand, you could use wholemeal flour to keep that nutty flavour, or just use plain flour.
Serves: 6
ounces farro (spelt) flour
ounces plain flour, plus extra for dusting
ounces water, tepid
ounce dry yeast (1 ounce if using fresh yeast)
teaspoon sugar
good pinch of salt
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
ounces ricotta
ounces cherry tomatoes on the vine
sea salt and pepper to taste
a handful of your favourite fresh herbs (optional)
- Preheat the oven to about 350 F. For the dough: Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the tepid water. Mix well with the flours and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. A food processor is handy for this, as it aerates the mixture as well. When combined, add a generous pinch of salt and turn the mixture out onto a floured, clean surface and knead for about 5 minutes.
- Place the dough in a large bowl and cover. Set aside to rise. Ideally, leave it in the fridge overnight or for at least 12 hours - this allows the yeast to work very slowly, improving the flavour and smell of the bread. Otherwise, leave it in room temperature in a warmish place for at least 2 hours.
- In the meantime, cut half of the cherry tomatoes in half, leave the rest on the vine, whole.
- When the dough has risen, divide it into 2 equal parts. Roll out the first to about 1/2 an inch thick, shape into a rectangle to fit your cookie sheet or dish (I use a ceramic dish lined with baking paper, it's about 2 inches high).
- Spread the ricotta over this layer, it doesn't have to be perfectly even, this can be rustic! In fact I prefer it when there are thicker parts in different places! Top with the cherry tomato halves to cover the entire surface. Season with salt and pepper. Add your herbs.
- Roll out your second ball of dough and place carefully on top of the halves of cherry tomato layer. Fold up the edges of the bottom layer towards the top layer. Gently press down on the surface of the schiacciata to get those characterisic indents that will pocket very nicely the rest of the olive oil and salt that you're about to scatter over the top! Before you do that though, layer your cherry tomatoes on the vine on top, then season with olive oil and sea salt.
- Bake for about 35 minutes or until golden brown at 350 F.

The following questions occurred to me. This is not research mathematics, just idle curiosity. Apologies if it is inappropriate.
Suppose you have a fixed volume V of maleable material, perhaps clay. The goal is to form it into a shape S (convex or nonconvex) that would roll down an inclined plane as fast as possible. The plane is tilted at θ with respect to the horizontal. The race track that quantifies "as fast as possible" is of length L. The shape S must be entirely behind a starting plane orthogonal to the inclined plane, and its race is finished when it is entirely ahead of a finishing plane, L distant, again orthogonal to the inclined plane. So if S is a disk of radius r, its center of gravity will have to travel a total distance of L + 2r to complete the race. S is released at rest, and rolls under gravity. Assume that the materials of S and of the inclined plane have a sufficient coefficient of friction μ such that there is no slippage, just pure rolling.
The stipulation that S start behind and end ahead of the orthogonal planes suggests that the optimal shape is an arbitrarily thin (and therefore arbitrarily long) cylinder, to minimize r. But this does not accord with (my) physical intuition. What am I missing here?
A variation on the same problem replaces the inclined plane with an inclined half-cylinder of radius R, like a rain gutter. It may be necessary to assume a relation between R and the volume V of material to make this problem reasonable (so that S fits in the gutter). But certainly this version's answer could not be an arbitrarily long cylinder!

Did you have any luck finding Russian girls in Pattaya? I would like to know about this.
Your two observation are strongly objected.
1.Indians do not use toilet paper, they expect you to use your hand and then rinse it with unclean water. So you do not need to stretch your imagination to understand how your nice looking curry before you can be contaminated!
The Indian system of toilet cleaning with washable water is far better and cleaner than your thoughts of Toilet paper cleaning. Are you not holding paper by Hand, then straight away go for food. That is more danger than water wash.Before Paper hope not at?????
2.There are cows wandering around like dogs in say Pattaya or other Asian countries.
I think in India, they are considered a sacred animal. People could be starving but you cannot eat the cows, but they can eat you!
You seen Cows are like Dogs, may be you never seen real value of cows, because you eat it before that really shows its value. Don't blindly tell that Indians eat YOU? We have sufficient food no need you people nor eating Cows can't stop STARVATION. Please remove your DARK SPECTS and study reality before conclusion such WRONG INFORMATIONS.
Youve had a bad experience, m8
Learn a bit of French, maybe a smattering of Arabic and try some of the smaller backstreet bars. The girls are half the price you quoted -and if you are nice to them youll get two for the price of one!
Wow, I bet you had fun in the Philippines and I love that picture of the trike. Did you know that 2006 is when we started filming our porn videos for Trike Patrol that's the same time you were there 😀
Your friends at Trike Patrol Diaries
I love Trike Patrol movies, but I also like the romance of driving in one of these vehicles. Breathing fumes, dust and bad air makes me think about my best Filipina lays and I am ready for more barhopping.
I remember doing the above scenes back in the mid 90s. At that time things were a lot different and more relaxed. However, with mass tourism and plenty of punters I've found that the scene has changed a lot. For example most of the girls have become more professional and money orientated and greedy. The prices have really gone silly in Thailand. Maybe Cambodia might be a better option these days.
What's the name of the hotel? i mean the one where the girl walked into ur room to please u. thanks.
I have always hated NEP considering it too noisy,crowded and full of Katoey and consequently tended to spend my time in the biergarden and Soi Cowboy.Normally I spend only 1 or 2 nights in Bangkok either end of a trip and have not had the time or inclination to explore further,although to be honest it was becoming a bit same same.Last trip made a conscious effort to get around and especially enjoyed wandering between Soi 21-33 and Soi 22 and Washington square.There are a whole heap of decent restaurants and bars with friendly no hassle girls who enjoy a laugh and will keep you warm all night for 1000 baht,maybe not the stunners you find in the go go bars but far from ugly and they tend to be better value in bed.Best thing for me was the customers tended to be a good mix of tourists and ex pats so you could have a conversation above the level of "do you think number 26 does anal etc"
As a bonus there are always a number of genuine semi pros along this end of Suk looking to supplement the housekeeping which can be a nice change,picked up 2 girls one night from a bus stop and they were well pleased to pick up the equivalent of a weeks wages for a couple of hours shagging.
Yes I like it here have a condo 7 min walk from Fields ave. Been here 10 yrs now before here Pattaya Thailand for 6 yrs. Staying here but still go pattaya every 2 yrs or so for a few weeks.
Funniest 'mongering' story I've ever heard.
Would love to find a ladyboy to bring home. Thanks for the story
Soi 22
I live on soi 22 and can confirm that the bars and massage parlours are well worth a visit. There's a wide range of girls (yes, the bar next to the Regency has the best – if you don't include Titanium where they have a "no bar-fine" policy) and most of them are fun to sit and chat with even if you don't feel like taking them home. Try My Bar which is just round the corner from the Regency.There's a cheap short-time hotel right at the end of the small soi opposite the Regency (140 baht) which is handy when you don't want to take someone back to your apartment (never sure what the security guards might say to the GF!).If you just want a quiet, undisturbed drink, try the New Cowboy Bar (no. 38 on soi 22, keep walking past the huge Queens Park Hotel and it's on your right – you can't miss the illuminated sign). Good food, cute waitresses and cheap beer. Erik is inclined to ring the bell for free drinks, if you're lucky!
I loved the Texas Lone Staar (how it was spelled with two a's) in Washington Square. Sadly, it closed on May 29, 2011. I believe George died, and relatives weren't interested in carrying on, since Washington Square is succumbing to a planned hotel/shopping complex. Just what Bangkok needs, another hotel/shopping complex. If you were never there my friends, you missed a time! It was my favorite place in Bangkok, seeing my friends, several in this video, Dean, Mac, Christopher, Les, and so many more, downing the beers, flirting with the girls, chatting with expats and Vietnam era vets, wow, what a time. Remember one memorable evening, when me, being retired USAF, and a British Air Force retiree, and an Australian Air Force veteran, drank until the wee hours of the morn telling of our exploits while in the service. Where else, except the Texas Lone Staar in Bangkok, Thailand would you see that scene. Brings tears to my eyes knowing it is gone forever!
Hey guys,
Thought I would share a couple of story from a trip to Prague in December 2006.
Me and two mates decided to go to Prague for new year in 2006. We were all 21 years of age and had just expected a typical lads holiday, few wild nights, plenty of booze and potentially a few strip clubs etc.
So our first night out we decided to go for some early drinks at a bar called the KU Bar which I remember wasnt too far off Wenceslav square. After many a beer and far too many shots we decided to leave.
After about 15 mins or so of walking around trying to figure out where we were we were stopped by a nice african chap who asked 'you wanna see some girls guys?'. Of course after that amount of alcohol the answer was yes with no consideration! We then realised we all had pretty much speant our allocated funds for the evening.. 'Oh but you get a FREE look' the guy shouted.. Ok so we decided to have our 'free look'. We were led to a place just off the square which was basically a big door, no signs or anything. Upon the entering with the african guy who was clearly working on some sort of commision we were greeted by monsterous looking security guard who demanded around £5 or the equivalent in Czech currency. We werent too happy about this but figured 'what the fuck, its only a fiver'.
Got a stamp on our hands to prove our payment and our right to enter. We walked up the steps and into this club and the first thing I was greeted with was a young Czech girl pole dancing completely nude and about a half full seating area. We were led to a table which was only the best table in the house, right infront of the stage and centre too! Within a few minutes there were 3 girls ar our table who were offering us everything from lapdances to lesbian shows to private dances to the 'upstairs menu'…
The girl that was speaking to me was around 21-24 years of age, tall, blonde, cracking arse and absolutely gorgeous! I joked to my mate at the time 'fuck me its like flicking through FHM in here!' No joke these girls were gorgeous. Also they were all in either underwear or bikini's. I cant remember the name but I just remember her as the girl in green, decided to sit on my lap and immedietly started rubbing my cock under the table! She was whispering in my ear 'have you seen the upstairs menu?' No I said, sadly not. She produces this piece of paper that had all sorts of things listed, lesbian show, full sex (20mins) full sex (45mins) and so on..
I immedietly thought to myself that for about £60 I can fuck this outrageous stunner! So I told her what I wanted because by this time I had a massive erection under the table that needed sorting out. She took me to the bar where I paid my 'fare' and also was asked if I wanted to buy her a drink. 'Yes whatever, just get me upstairs!' So she took me upstairs where I was greeted by a massive woman who handed me a towel and a condom. I remember thinking 'shit, I am off my face in Prague and im about to fuck a hooker!'
She took me into a room that was very nice and contained an ensuite shower and a circular bed that was spinning. 'You take a shower' she said. Without hesitation I took all my clothes off and stumbled into the shower. Within a minute I was out and greeted by her standing there, fully nude with the most gorgeous natural tanned body, great medium sized tits and a lovely shaved pussy.
She went in the shower and even invited me in with her. Obviously I obliged! So after shower she pushed me back on the bed, started to put on what can only be described as a condom that could probably withstand a nuclear attack. Straight after she started to suck me off, very well too for about 5 minutes.
She then jumped on top and started to attempt to destroy me really.. Or that was her intention anyway. I remember thinking im gonna come really quick here if im not careful.. Next thing you know there it was, load shot, pretty much 20 minutes up and my first experience of mongering at the age of 21.
The club was called Go Go Paradise and unfortunately im informed by a friend who has since been back to Prague that it no longer exists. I also went back for another night in Go Go Paradise 2 nights later and had a beautiful Russian girl, but thats another story all together.
Since then I have been 'mongering about' in Thailand (Pattaya and Bangkok) also Amsterdam and most recently Tokyo in May. I have a trip planned and paid for to Seoul in November so that is my next plan of attack. I must add, I go to these places for holidays, often on my own with no primary intention to monger.. However when confronted with vagina I rarely say no!
Thanks for reading and apologies for the horrible grammer at times.
I was in Prague with my wife in around 1992 and staying in quite a modern hotel next to one of the city gates. We were in the bar one evening and a very attractive young woman of about 20 came in wearing the most gorgeous red dress. Styled like the white dress Marilyn Monroe wears when she walks over the subway vent. Calf length and flared but with a plunge neckline.
We were sitting in the corner watching her chatting to men at the bar. Every so often a man would walk out and she would follow but then return. It was obvious that the man behind the bar knew her. When I went up to the bar I made sure I went next to her and struck up a conversation. She spoke reasonably good English.
A little later I went to the toilet which was outside the bar in the foyer. When I came out she was standing waiting – would I like her to got to my room.
I told her that I would like that later. When I returned to Jane I told her what had happened and that I was going to invite her up. We had been sitting at a table in a booth concealed from the bar. I asked Jane to go to our room and she left. After she had gone I went to the bar and bought the whore a drink and after we had finished I invited her to my room.
When we arrived she was surprised to find Jane there who was stripped down to a nice basque – you will get the idea if you look at her picture in my group.
There was some haggling over money and a little reluctance from the whore – whose name I don't remember – but in the end a deal was struck. She wouldn't go down on Jane which was a pity but she did finger her and Jane watched as the whore went down on me and then got well fucked.
We got a good hour's worth out of her before she left. We were only there one more night and unfortunately she wasn't there the next night.
We had to make do with an inexperienced younger whore who was nice enough but a bit freaked by Jane.
Looking for some advice really, at 35 and after living the eastern european dream, ended up in 7 year relationship from a bird from Tallinn Estonia, I've now decided to embark on a spree of decedance, i've done the eastern europe thing to death, was in Krakow the week before your last visit (20th september) and found it as you had posted, now i want more, so i want your informed opinion, i'm looking at the far east in Feb/March next year just 2 of us, first time in the far east for me, I want to go AC but i'm not sure there is much to do there for 10 days? is subic good enough as a "rest camp"? have you done manila, forums seem undecided about hwo good that is and I dont really fancy BKK , so where would you shoot for ? i'm 35 got a resonable budget and a 10 day hop.
Have to admit i've now read most of your posts, your later ones sound like you are running out of steam, hope you stick at it , your an inspiration to many guys like me 🙂
Inspired by your photo album "Bulgaria" – I thought that I would share some
Bulgarian experiences from when I was there working and holidaying in the early
nineties. It was quite an anxious time – amongst the first times I was there was
the time of the attempted Russian military coup against Gorbachev which had the
Bulgarian locals really wound up.
When I was there about 1990 I met a girl called Tatiana. Like most girls at the
time she wanted to leave the country. Most were looking to marry guys from
Western Europe and the States so that they could leave and get a better life.
Most were willing to do pretty much anything to achieve it. Prostitution was
also pretty open with men in leather jackets openly selling women in hotel bars.
Tatiana was a lovely girl – a bit skinny like thet all were at that time –
bordering on the edge of malnutrition – getting food that was inexpensive was
difficult for people who wanted to stay in legal activity. Like other girls I
knew she was prepared to meet my sexual needs in the hope that I would bring her
home. She knew I was married but that didn't seem to make much difference.
I paraded her round bars in the sort of clothing I like my women to wear – short
skirts and tight tops. As her tits didn't really require a bra I would have her
braless in tight tops. She had large nipples that came beautifully erect when
rubbing against the shirt's fabric.
She looked as much a whore as the girls who were actually selling themselves. I
was there for two months and she pretty much ended up living with me. She was
willing to do whatever I wanted – with a little encouragement – and I well
remember the first time I pushed into her arse – the first time she had ever had
anal – trying to pretend she enjoyed it while tears were running down her
I admit I wasn't always gentle when I fucked her.
The following year I was back in Bulgaria for another three months. tatiana had
been really struggling and by then had been drawn into prostitution. It was easy
enough to take out a rental on her while I was there and she was a regular fuck.
I didn't mind other men coming up to her in bars where she was by now well
known. Sometimes I let them take her so long as they got her back to me
afterwards. I was used to finding bruises on her body. I admit that also turned
me on.
1992 was my last session in Bulgaria and in the middle of the two week stint I
took two weeks break in Amsterdam and took Tati with me.
Jane and Susie visited for a few days and Tati did her first lesbian act for me
with Jane. I also introduced Tati to a guy I knew who made porn movies. He
rather liked her and he was willing to get her out of Bulgaria. For a price of
course – she had to work for him.
So while we were there Tati made a porn movie and did things she hadn't done
before – although she had done "parties" in Bulgaria that had usually meant
being taken by one guy and maybe doing it in public. When she met me back at the
hotel she had obviously been worked hard – by three men as it turned out and one
of them black. I eventually saw the movie – I must say she was enthusiastic and
the mix of cum and tears on her face was a must see.
When I returned to Bulgaria she stayed in Amsterdam – still hoping she would get
married and have a nice life. She did eventiually marry Dirk but she spent the
next ten years making porn in Amsterdam and doing high end whoring. I'm not
quite sure what happened after that except that Dirk divorced her and she ended
up making more "specialist" movies that took her to Brazil. That was the last I
heard of her.
So, Dave, don't tease us — how about a link to one of her movies or Tatiana's IAFD or Eurobabeindex entry or her nom de porn?
Although this is an old report it's still good, I love Pattaya
than please suggest, from where we can book a cab to angeles and the best hotels at walking street.
I have stayed at the Honey Hotel on Soi 16. If you stay in the garage rooms, I agree a bit of a shithole. Otherwise, the rooms, service, breakfast etc… is not bad. There is a travel agency onsite that I often use when I need travel service when I am in Bangkok. I recommend it.
In your previous episodes visiting your Thai gf, you seen to always end up in areas with temptation such as Sukhumvit and you two end up going to beer bars, discos, etc etc. Is this because both of you know this world and these places are where you two are most comfortable in? Or is it, these are areas where tourists stay? Or maybe there is not much to do outside of these areas back in 2004?
It's seems when both if you end up at these places she tempted to go back to bar girl life and you back to monger life…..
Why not just stay and hangout away from the scene?
That is usually a "safe" look, cops usually use white women (many blonde) as a decoy but still would not take the risk though. You could have searched on TER and from there work on to get a escort, easier and safer, that's what i would do.
You should pull out chicks pub crawling in Philly, you have a London accent, that would help you out ALOT in the US if you used the right cards.
The ghetto is a good place to find women,any big booty ebony girls, but gotta be careful and make sure they're clean. This MongerPlanet gives me nostalgia man 🙂
There are also escort agencies in Barcelona, it is legal there. I'd recommend you to visit them instead of the SW. It's safer and cleaner. I usually go to Apricots, in its local which is near Camp Nou. The service is great. I don't trust SW about the hygiene, and moreover, I prefer seeing women that fully assumed their choice of career.
I do agree with Georges! Avoid the SW!!! And i already heard about Apricots in many reviews, seems nice! I might go while i'm in barcelona.
"When walking down the road with the girls, they will walk a good 15 yards ahead when leading you too the Casa and 15 behind when leaving. This is too avoid interest by the police as they are not allowed to mingle with the tourists so its all done very covertly."
Article is from 2006 so I'm wondering if it's still like that but this whole "locals can't mingle with tourists" seems annoying. Is that just for the types that are looking for prostitution or what? What a strange law/rule, what if one finds a local woman who isn't a prostitute and wants to hang out, date or whatever, like wtf?? And does this apply to foreign man and local woman being together or gender doesn't matter?
"When walking down the road with the girls, they will walk a good 15 yards ahead when leading you too the Casa and 15 behind when leaving. This is too avoid interest by the police as they are not allowed to mingle with the tourists so its all done very covertly"
This article is from 2006 so i dont know if its still like this but what a strange law/rule. I wouldn't mind having a local chica escorting me around town while if ever visit Havana, why does the government even allow tourism?? Unless I'm misunderstanding something this rule applies to all genders? The government really doesn't want locals mingling with foreigners?
i do not fancy subic . when i go to the phillipens . angeles city . fileds av . for me . thank you so mush . for your advice .

Skullcandy Presents the 2013 TransAm at Powder Ridge: Full Recap
We all had a look of worry on our faces looking at the prior week's subzero temperatures approaching the weekend of the TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm presented by Skullcandy at Powder Ridge, Minnesota. Michael Wiener and the Powder Ridge Park Crew worked through the night before contest day to shape out a park that is designed to be much different than any other contest held this season. The features are designed to be that of which have never been seen in the park before, not just your regular down rail set up. Wiener and crew put so much effort into the build they ended up shattering their own boxes in the freezing temps to make the event happen.
Joey Peterson, who shattered almost everything in his path, earned himself best trick on the down flat down close out that was included in the Coal Headwear combination feature. Peterson rode with such reckless abandon that he was seen taking different lines throughout the course nearly out of breath. He would go on to take top honors for the guys. Chris Eck did not have any problem busting through the western style double doors into the Ride Snowboards lift tower jib. He held his speed to make it through the bold feature, but slid right into the second place spot. Deelia Gage also took advantage of the cold snow and fast surface by throwing herself into several of the features. Her most notable performance was on the Skullcandy cassette that was set up on an angle. She rolled in with a ton of speed, but her pop onto the cassette left her nose down to catch on the end of the feature. She fell completely into the best crash award and was still smiling.
Matt Chase, who was also smiling so much throughout the day his teeth were frozen, spread the praises of such an awesome day. He rode like he was walking on sunshine as well with solid gaps and bonks over the Zumiez couch set up sideways. It was not just his performance on one feature that sealed the deal on his win of the Muscle Milk Rider's Choice, but a plethora of tricks to please any spectator. Ally Goebel flexed her riding strength on the Muscle Milk fence pieces set up as a jib and wall ride. Goebel would air her way past the tower of triumph into top honors for the gals. Luke Zajac easily cleared the Sanuk standing wave feature to stair set up and earned the pint sized ripper award. Tanya Zarling's dance on the Anon Optics rail was anything but pint sized as she hit the Anon feature at nearly every angle possible. Dan Spooner turned heads on the Giro Helmets down rail airing over the steps to grease the entire down rail with proper style.
The heat of the day's riding led riders into a hot pizza party indoors away from the cold sixteen-degree day. Top honors took home Ride Snowboards, Anon goggles, Wend Wax, Giro Helmets, custom High Cascade backpacks, and custom Skullcandy TransAm Cassette and Aviator headphones. The winners were able to keep their heads warm with custom TransAm Coal beanies and their feet dry with Sanuk footwear. Zumiez gave out gift cards to everyone and flight vouchers to finals for the first place winners. Muscle Milk awarded 200 dollars to the Rider's Choice winner, Matt Chase. The trophies awarded by TransWorld SNOWboarding were heavy metal Epiphone guitars engrave with the stop location and TransAm logo. Minnesota has always been a crazy stop on this tour of eleven years, but everyone is anxious to see what happens in the Rockies at Keystone Colorado next!

The nation's top football league said Friday it is mulling over the appropriate punishment for an illegal economic practice banned by the sport's international governing body.
An official with the K League said the league office has identified cases of third-party ownership, and that it may convene a disciplinary committee meeting to discuss potential punishments.
Third-party ownership refers to a club's sharing of a player's economic rights with third-party sources such as agents, management agencies or investors. It has been a common practice among financially-challenged clubs, particularly in Brazil and Argentina, because the third parties help cover the costs of players' training and accommodations. In return, these third parties receive a share of their players' future transfer fees.
In April last year, FIFA announced a ban on third-party ownership that took effect on May 1, citing concerns that such a practice would compromise the integrity of competitions.
The K League said it has discovered four cases of third-party ownership, but it doesn't have guidelines for penalties in the case of violations. FIFA also didn't specify what type of punishment should be imposed on clubs violating the ban.
"The head of our disciplinary committee will review these cases and determine whether to hold a meeting (over punishment)," the K League official said.
In the case of dual contracts, the South Korean league can prohibit clubs from acquiring new players for up to one year and also suspend agents for at least six months. The league will try to decide whether similar types of punishment should apply to third-party ownership. (Yonhap)

Peterson Activated off PUP List
MANKATO, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Vikings have activated running back Adrian Peterson from the physically unable to perform list Sunday, with coach Leslie Frazier saying Peterson had done everything in his rehab that could be done working by himself.
Peterson had major knee surgery on Dec. 31, and Frazier credited Peterson's hard work for the quick return.
During Sunday's morning walk-through, Peterson rejoined his offensive teammates for a half-hour session. He is scheduled to participate in the Sunday afternoon practice, though the new collective bargaining agreement prohibits Peterson from taking part in contact during padded practices for two days.
Frazier said the next step in the rehab process will be for Peterson to participate in contact drills and then get some game action in the preseason. He added that Peterson will be evaluated daily to check his progress.

You're a guy and for the moment, you have one space all to your own. Your bedroom is your sanctuary, and you want your personality to spread from corner to corner. What better way to do that than to decorate your room? Even though it might be hard for guys to decorate, most know what they're style is, what they like, and what they don't like. You don't have to be an interior designer or do anything outside your comfort zone to create the perfect space. Below is everything you need to know for inspiration to build your private domain.
When you know you'll be in the same space for the next ten plus years, it's wise to be conservative with the foundation; such as the paint you decide to use on your walls, changing the flooring, etc. So the best way to spruce up a bedroom without making permanent changes is by starting with a new bedspread. An excellent duvet or bedspread is a great way to spark ideas for everything else: accessories, throws, and wall decorations.
Most college dorms come with standard twin or full-size beds, which is more than likely your bed size now. Plan ahead by keeping an eye out for decoration ideas. New blankets, sheets, and a throw pillow or two is a great start for your dorm. New bedding could also spur the purchase for mattresses and beds that fit your style. Pay attention to things you find cool like magazine ads, pieces online, or a friend's new decor for inspiration.
After you find your foundation bedding, begin to build upon that. If the pattern is loud and bright (Chevron is quite popular now) it will balance well with soft, cozy fabrics to layer on top. A warm flannel for cold nights; or a neutral, microfiber blanket as a subtle touch can add what you need to battle the weather. Sometimes, old school bedding can not only solve the needs posed by your environment but also add the style you are looking for to fit into your motif.
If your preference is more of an original print, let your personality inspire the rest of the room. If you're an outdoor person, pick a canopy to feel to revisit your camping trips. Get creative and place vines and leaves around the windows. You can also use colorful sheets with a pattern, stripe or Jojo Designs to give basic bedspreads a pop of personality.
Stick to the basics when investing in anything you'll use longer than five years. With everything else, let your originality roam free by creating your zone.

Reviewed by Gina R. (age 12)
There are a couple of morals in this story. The first on is that love can surprise even the most self centered people when they aren?t paying attention. The second one it that the word hate is a very powerful word and a very powerful emotion. Before you say it or feel it you need to know what you are truly feeling. A lot of people confuse the words hate and dislike . When you confuse the word hate for dislike you will end up just hurting someone or hurting yourself.
I love love stories and this one was like none other I have ever read before. This book is generally about forbidden love, but it had a story inside a story.
I recommend this book because of its unique story plot. The kind of audience needed for my book is kids about 12 and older . what might interest readers is that this book has so much variety and it keeps you interested throughout the entire book.

By raising and lowering voltage levels, transformers make power systems versatile
When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to make the system efficient and safe. There is no simple way of changing DC voltage levels. Because of its time-varying magnetic field, the AC system allows the use of the transformer to change voltage levels as needed.
How transformers work.
A basic transformer consists of two sets of coils or windings. Each set of windings is simply an inductor. AC voltage is applied to one of the windings, called the primary winding. The other winding, called the secondary winding, is positioned in close proximity to the primary winding, but is electrically isolated from it.
The alternating current that flows through the primary winding establishes a time-varying magnetic flux, some of which links to the secondary winding and induces a voltage across it. The magnitude of this voltage is proportional to the ratio of the number of turns on the primary winding to the number of turns on the secondary winding. This is known as the "turns ratio."
To maximize flux linkage with the secondary circuit, an iron core is often used to provide a low-reluctance path for the magnetic flux. The polarity of the windings describes the direction in which the coils were wound onto the core. Polarity determines whether the flux produced by one winding is additive or subtractive with respect to the flux produced by another winding. A basic two-winding transformer is shown in the Figure above.
Three-phase transformers.
A basic 3-phase transformer consists of three sets of primary windings, one for each phase, and three sets of secondary windings wound on the same iron core. Separate single-phase transformers can be used and externally interconnected to yield the same results as a 3-phase unit.
The primary windings are connected in one of several ways. The two most common configurations are the delta, in which the polarity end of one winding is connected to the non-polarity end of the next, and the wye, in which all three non-polarity (or polarity) ends are connected together. The secondary windings are connected similarly. This means that a 3-phase transformer can have its primary and secondary windings connected the same (delta-delta or wye-wye), or differently (delta-wye or wye-delta). It's important to remember that the secondary voltage waveforms are in phase with the primary waveforms when the primary and secondary windings are connected the same way. This condition is called "no phase shift." But when the primary and secondary windings are connected differently, the secondary voltage waveforms will differ from the corresponding primary voltage waveforms by 30 electrical degrees. This is called a 30∞ phase shift. When two transformers are connected in parallel, their phase shifts must be identical; if not, a short circuit will occur when the transformers are energized.
An autotransformer is a transformer with an electrical connection between the primary and secondary windings. Autotransformers have considerably more MVA capacity per pound of core iron and winding conductor than standard power transformers, but are limited to small turns rations — ideally 2:1.
Although the designs of different transformers vary extensively, their basic operation remains the same.
Special transformers.
Transformers can have more than two windings per phase. These designs help reduce fault current levels. Other transformers have been built to operate at relatively low voltages but extremely high currents. Arc furnace transformers fall into this category, and can have secondary current ratings in excess of 150,000A. Regulating transformers are designed to maintain their secondary voltage within specific limits as the primary voltage fluctuates. Transformers can also be built to shift phase a specified amount to control the flow of real power in a networked system.
