In an effort to comply with the stringent harmonic requirements set by North American and European standards such as IEEE Standard 519-1992, major high-power drive manufacturers around the world are increasingly using multi-pulse diode rectifiers in their drives as front-end converters. The rectifiers can be configured as 12-, 18- and 24-pulse rectifiers, powered by a phase shifting transformer with a number of secondary windings. Each secondary winding feeds a six-pulse diode rectifier. The dc output of the six-pulse rectifiers is connected to a voltage source inverter.
The main feature of the multi-pulse rectifier lies in its ability to reduce the line current harmonic distortion. This is achieved by the phase shifting transformer, through which some of the low-order harmonic currents generated by the six-pulse rectifiers are canceled. In general, the higher the number of rectifier pulses, the lower the line current distortion is. The rectifiers with more than 30 pulses are seldom used in practice mainly due to increased transformer costs and limited performance improvements.
The multipulse rectifier has a number of other features. It normally does not re quire any LC filters or power factor compensators, which leads to the elimination of possible LC resonances. The use of the phase-shifting transformer provides an effective means to block common-mode voltages generated by the rectifier and inverter in medium voltage drives, which would otherwise appear on motor terminals, leading to a premature failure of winding insulation.
The multipulse diode rectifiers can be classified into two types:
_ Series-type multipulse rectifiers, where all the six-pulse rectifiers are connected in series on their dc side. In the medium-voltage drives, the series-type rectifier can be used as a front end for the inverter that requires a single dc supply such as three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) inverter and multi level flying-capacitor inverter.
_ Separate-type multipulse rectifiers, where each of the six-pulse rectifiers feeds a separate dc load. This type of rectifier is suitable for use in a multi level cascaded H-bridge inverter that requires a multiple units of isolated dc supplies. This section starts with an introduction to the six-pulse diode rectifier, followed by a detailed analysis on the series- and separate-type multipulse rectifiers. The rectifier input power factor and line current THD are investigated, and results are summarized in a graphical format. The phase-shifting transformer required by the multipulse rectifiers will be dealt with in Section 5.
2.1 Introduction
The circuit diagram of a simplified six-pulse diode rectifier is shown in FIG. 2-1, where va, vb, and v_c are the phase voltages of the utility supply. For medium-voltage applications, each diode in the rectifier may be replaced by two or more diodes in series. To simplify the analysis, all the diodes are assumed to be ideal (no power losses or on-state voltage drop). FIG. 2-2 shows a set of voltage and current waveforms of the rectifier. The phase voltages of the utility supply are defined by
v_a = _2 _ V_PH sin(omega t)
v_b = _2 _ V_PH sin(omega t - 2 pi /3)
v_c = _2 _ V_PH sin(omega t - 4 pi /3)
(eqn. 2-1)
where VPH is the rms value of the phase voltage and _ is the angular frequency of the utility supply, given by _ = 2_f. The line-to-line voltage vab can be calculated by
vab = va - vb = _2 _ VLL sin(_t + _/6) (eqn. 2-2)
where VLL is the rms value of the line-to-line voltage relating to the phase voltage by VLL = _3 _VPH.
The waveform of the line current i_a has two humps per half-cycle of the supply frequency. During interval I, vab is higher than the other two line-to-line voltages.
Diodes D1 and D6 are forward-biased and thus turned on. The dc voltage vd is equal to vab, and the line current i_a equals vab/Rd. During interval II, D1 and D2 conduct, and i_a = vac/Rd. Similarly, the waveform of i_a in the negative half-cycle can be obtained. The other two line currents, ib and ic, have the same waveform as ia, but lag i_a by 2_/3 and 4_/3, respectively.
The dc voltage vd contains six pulses (humps) per cycle of the supply frequency.
The rectifier is, therefore, commonly known as a six-pulse rectifier. The average value of the dc voltage can be calculated by
2.2 Capacitive Load
FIG. 2-3a shows the circuit diagram of the six-pulse rectifier with a capacitive load, where Ls represents the total line inductance between the utility supply and the rectifier, including the equivalent inductance of the supply, the leakage inductances of isolation transformer if any, and the inductance of a three-phase reactor that is often added to the system in practice for the reduction of the line current THD. The dc filter capacitor Cd is assumed to be sufficiently large such that the dc voltage is ripple-free. Under this assumption, the capacitor and dc load can be replaced by a dc voltage source Vd as shown in FIG. 2-3b. The value of Vd varies slightly with the loading conditions. When the rectifier is lightly loaded, Vd is close to the peak of the ac line-to-line voltage and the dc current id may be discontinuous. With the increase in dc current, the voltage across the line inductance Ls increases, causing a reduction in Vd. When the dc current increases to a certain level, it becomes continuous and thus the rectifier operates in a continuous current mode.
(1) Discontinuous Current Operation. FIG. 2-4 illustrates the voltage and current waveforms of the rectifier operating under the light load conditions.
Each of the three-phase line currents, ia, ib, and ic, contains two pulses per half-cycle of the supply frequency. The rectifier operates in a discontinuous current mode since the dc current id falls to zero six times per cycle of the supply frequency.
For the convenience of discussion, FIG. 2-5 shows the expanded voltage and current waveforms of the rectifier. During interval _1 _ _t < _2, the line-to-line voltage vab is higher than the dc voltage Vd, which turns D1 and D6 on. The dc cur rent id increases from zero, and energy is stored in Ls. At _2, vab is equal to Vd, the voltage across the line inductance Ls becomes zero, and id reaches its peak value i_p.
When _t > _2, vab is lower than Vd, and Ls starts to release its stored energy to the load through D1 and D6. Both diodes remain on until _t = _3, at which id falls to zero and the energy stored in Ls is completely discharged. During interval _4 _ _t < _5, vac is higher than Vd, and D1 is turned on again together with D2. Obviously, each diode conducts twice per cycle of the supply frequency. The diode conduction angle is given by
(eqn. 2-5)
(eqn. 2-6)
(eqn. 2-7)
(eqn. 2-8)
(eqn. 2-9)
(eqn. 2-10)
(eqn. 2-11)
from which _3 can be calculated for a given VLL and Vd.
It is interesting to note that the angles _1, _2, and _3 are a function of VLL and Vd only, irrelevant to the line inductance Ls.
(2) Continuous Current Operation. As discussed earlier, the dc voltage Vd of the rectifier decreases with the increase in dc load current. The decrease in Vd makes _3 and _4 in FIG. 2-5 move toward each other. When _3 and _4 start to over lap, the dc current id becomes continuous.
FIG. 2-6 shows the waveforms of the rectifier operating with a continuous dc current. During interval I, a positive i_a keeps D1 conducting while a negative ic keeps D2 on. The dc current is given by id = i_a = -ic.
Interval II is the commutation period, during which the current flowing in D1 is commutated to D3. The commutation is initiated by a forward-biased voltage on D3, which turns it on. Due to the presence of the line inductance Ls, the commutation process cannot complete instantly. It takes a finite moment for current ib in D3 to build up and current i_a in D1 to fall. During this period, three diodes (D1, D2 and D3) conduct simultaneously, and the dc current id = i_a + ib = -ic. The commutation period ends at the end of interval II, at which i_a decreases to zero and D1 is turned off.
During interval III, diodes D2 and D3 are on, and the dc current is id = ib = -ic.
The diode conduction angle _c is 2_/3 + _, where _ is the commutation interval.
Compared with discontinuous current operation, the rectifier operating under a continuous current mode draws a line current with less harmonic distortion. The details of the line current distortion are discussed in the following sections.
2.3 Definition of THD and PF
Assume that the phase voltage va of the utility supply is sinusoidal va = _2 _Va sin _t (eqn. 2-12)
The line current i_a drawn by a rectifier is generally periodical but nonsinusoidal.
The line current can be expressed by a Fourier series
(eqn. 2-13)
where n is the harmonic order, Ian and _n are the rms value and angular frequency of the nth harmonic current, and _n is the phase displacement between Va and Ian, respectively.
The rms value of the distorted line current i_a can be calculated by
where Ia1 is the rms value of the fundamental current. The per-phase average power delivered from the supply to the rectifier is….
(eqn. 2-17)
where _1 is the phase displacement between Va and Ia1. The per-phase apparent power is given by
(eqn. 2-19)
where DF is the distortion factor and DPF is the displacement power factor, given by:
For a given THD and DPF, the power factor can also be calculated by PF = (eqn. 2-21)
2.4 Per-Unit System
It is convenient to use per-unit system for the analysis of power converter systems.
Assume that the converter system under investigation is three-phase balanced with a rated apparent power SR and rated line-to-line voltage VLL. The base voltage, which is the rated phase voltage of the system, is given by
The base current and impedance are then defined as IB = and ZB = (eqn. 2-23) The base frequency is:
_B = 2_f (eqn. 2-24)
where f is the nominal frequency of the utility supply or the rated output frequency of an inverter. The base inductance and capacitance can be found from LB = and CB = (eqn. 2-25) Consider a three-phase diode rectifier rated at 4160 V, 60 Hz, and 2 MVA. The base current IB of the rectifier is 277.6 A and the base inductance LB is 22.9 mH.
Assuming that the rectifier has a line inductance of 2.29 mH per phase and draws a line current of 138.8 A, the corresponding per unit value for the inductance and cur rent is 0.1 per unit (pu) and 0.5 p_u, respectively.
2.5 THD and PF of Six-Pulse Diode Rectifier
Two typical waveforms of the line current drawn by the six-pulse diode rectifier are shown in FIG. 2-7. When the rectifier operates under the light load conditions with the fundamental line current Ia1 = 0.2 p_u, the line current waveform is somewhat spiky. The line current waveform contains two separate pulses per half-cycle of the supply frequency, which makes the dc current discontinuous. With the rectifier operating at the rated condition (Ia1 = 1.0 pu), the two current pulses are partially over lapped, which leads to a continuous dc current.
The harmonic spectrum of the line current waveform is shown in FIG. 2-7c.
The line current i_a does not contain any even-order harmonics since the current waveform is of half-wave symmetry, defined by f(_t) = -f(_t + _). It does not contain any triplen (zero sequence) harmonic currents either due to a balanced three-phase system. The dominant harmonics, such as the 5th and 7th, usually have a much higher magnitude than other harmonics. The line current THD is a function of the fundamental current Ia1, which is
75.7% at Ia1 = 0.2 p_u and 32.7% at Ia1 = 1.0 pu.
The THD and PF curves of the six-pulse diode rectifier are shown in FIG. 2-8, where the fundamental current Ia1 varies from 0.1 p_u to 1 p_u and the line inductance Ls changes from 0.05 p_u to 0.15 pu. With the increase of the line current, its THD decreases while the overall power factor (PF) of the rectifier increases. The increase in PF is mainly due to THD reduction, which improves the distortion power factor of the rectifier. For a given value of THD and PF, the displacement power factor DPF can be found from:
As mentioned earlier, the low-order dominant harmonics in the line current are of high magnitude. An effective approach to reducing the line current THD is, there fore, to remove these dominant harmonics from the system. This can be achieved by using multipulse rectifiers.
In this section, the configuration of 12-, 18-, and 24-pulse series-type rectifiers is introduced. The THD and PF performance of these rectifiers are investigated through simulation and experiments.
3.1 12-Pulse Series-Type Diode Rectifier
(1) Rectifier Configuration. FIG. 3-1 shows the typical configuration of a 12-pulse series-type diode rectifier. There are two identical six-pulse diode rectifiers powered by a phase-shifting transformer with two secondary windings. The dc outputs of the six-pulse rectifiers are connected in series. To eliminate low-order harmonics in the line current iA, the line-to-line voltage vab of the wye-connected secondary winding is in phase with the primary voltage vAB while the delta-connected secondary winding voltage v_ã
The rms line-to-line voltage of each secondary winding is
(eqn. 3-2) from which the turns ratio of the transformer can be determined by
= 2 and = (eqn. 3-3)
The inductance Ls represents the total line inductance between the utility supply and the transformer, and Llk is the total leakage inductance of the transformer referred to the secondary side. The dc filter capacitor Cd is assumed to be sufficiently large such that the dc voltage Vd is ripple-free.
FIG. 3-1b shows the simplified diagram of the 12-pulse diode rectifier. The transformer winding is represented by sign "Y" or " " enclosed by a circle, where 'Y' denotes a three-phase wye-connected winding while _ represents a delta-connected winding.
(2) Current Waveforms. FIG. 3-2 shows a set of simulated current wave forms of the rectifier operating under the rated conditions. The line inductance Ls is assumed to be zero, and the total leakage inductance Llk is 0.05 p_u, which is a typi cal value for a phase-shifting transformer.
The dc current id is continuous, containing 12 pulses per cycle of the supply frequency. At any time instant (excluding commutation intervals), the dc current id flows through four diodes simultaneously, two in the top six-pulse rectifier and two in the bottom rectifier. The dc current ripple is relatively low due to the series connection of the two six-pulse rectifiers, where the leakage inductances of the secondary windings can be considered in series.
The waveform of the line current i_a in the wye-connected secondary winding looks like a trapezoidal wave with four humps on the top. The waveform of i_ã in the delta-connected winding is identical to i_a except for a 30° phase displacement and is therefore not shown in the figure.
The currents i_a and i_ã in FIG. 3-2b are the secondary line currents i_a and i_ã referred to the primary side. Since both primary and top secondary windings are connected in wye, the waveform of the referred current i_a is identical to that of i_a except that its magnitude is halved due to the turns ratio of the two windings. When i_ã is referred to the primary side, the referred current i_ã does not keep the same waveform as i_ã. The changes in waveform are caused by the phase displacement of the harmonic currents when they are referred from the delta-connected secondary winding to the wye-connected primary winding. It is the phase displacement that makes certain harmonics, such as the 5th and 7th, in i_ã out of phase with those in i_a. As a re sult, these harmonic currents are canceled in the transformer primary winding and do not appear in the primary line current, given by:
i_a = ia + iã (eqn. 3-4)
FIG. 3-3 shows the harmonic spectrum of the rectifier currents in FIG. 3-2, where I_an, Iã_n, and I_An are the nth order harmonic currents (rms) in ia, iã, and iA, respectively. The harmonic content of the referred currents ia and iã is identical, although their waveforms are quite different. This is understandable since the harmonic content should not alter when a secondary current is referred to the primary side. The magnitude of the 5th and 7th harmonics is 18.6% and 12.4%, respectively, which are much higher than other harmonics. The THD of the primary line current i_a is only 8.38% in comparison to 24.1% of the secondary line current ia. The substantial reduction in THD is owing to the elimination of dominant harmonics by the phase-shifting transformer. The principle of harmonic cancellation by the phase shifting transformer will be discussed in Section 5.
FIG. 3-4 shows the waveforms measured from a 12-pulse diode rectifier operating under the rated conditions. The phase-shifting transformer has a total leak- age inductance of 0.045 p_u and a voltage ratio of:
VAB/Vab = VAB/Vã ~ b = 2.05.
The line inductance Ls between the utility supply and the transformer is negligible due to the high capacity of the supply and low power rating of the rectifier.
The measured secondary currents, i_a and i_ã, are of a quasi-trapezoidal wave with a 30° phase displacement. The harmonic spectrum in FIG. 3-4b indicates that i_a and i_ã contain the 5th and 7th harmonics, but these harmonics are canceled by the transformer and do not appear in iA. It should be pointed out that the amplitudes of the fundamental component in i_a and i_a are not exactly the same. They would be identical if the voltage ratio of the transformer were equal to 2 instead of 2.05.
(3) THD and Power Factor. FIG. 3-5 shows the calculated line current THD and input power factor versus the fundamental line current IA1. The leakage inductance Llk is typically 0.05 p_u, while the line inductance Ls usually varies with the capacity and operating conditions of the power system. To investigate the effect of Ls, three typical values, Ls = 0, 0.05 p_u and 0.1 p_u, are selected. The THD of the line current i_a decreases with the increase of IA1 and Ls. Compared with the six pulse rectifier, the 12-pulse rectifier can achieve a substantial reduction in the line current THD. Its input power factor PF is also improved thanks to the lower line current THD and higher displacement power factor.
Generally speaking, the THD of the line current in the 12-pulse rectifier does not meet the harmonic requirements set by IEEE Standard 519-1992. In practice, a line side filter is normally required to reduce line current THD.
3.2 18-Pulse Series-Type Diode Rectifier
(1) Rectifier Configuration. The block diagram of an 18-pulse series-type diode rectifier is shown in FIG. 3-6. The rectifier has three units of identical six pulse diode rectifiers fed by a phase shifting transformer. The sign "Z" enclosed by a circle represents a three-phase zigzag-connected winding, which provides a required phase displacement between the primary and secondary line-to-line volt ages. The detailed analysis of the zigzag transformer is given in Section 5.
The 18-pulse rectifier is able to eliminate four dominant harmonics (the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th). This can be achieved by employing a phase-shifting transformer with a 20° phase displacement between any two adjacent secondary windings. The typical values of are 20°, 0°, and -20° for the top, middle, and bottom secondary windings, respectively. Other arrangements for are possible, such as = 0°, 20°,
and 40°. The turns ratio of the transformer for the 18-pulse rectifier is usually selected such that the line-to-line voltage of each secondary winding is one third that of the primary winding.
(2) Waveforms. Assume that the 18-pulse diode rectifier in FIG. 3-6 operates under the rated conditions with Ls = 0 and Llk = 0.05 pu. A set of simulated wave forms for the rectifier are shown in FIG. 3-7, where i… _ are the primary current components referred from the secondary side of the transformer. The wave forms of these currents are all different due to the phase displacement of harmonic currents when they are transferred from the secondary to the primary winding. The waveforms of the secondary currents ia, i_ã, and i_a _ are not given in the figure, but they have the same shape as that of i_ã. The harmonic content of the primary and secondary line currents are given in FIG. 3-7c. The secondary line current has a THD of 23.7%, while the THD of the primary line current is only 3.06% due to the elimination of four dominant harmonics.
The waveforms measured from an 18-pulse diode rectifier under the rated operating conditions are shown in FIG. 3-8. The phase-shifting transformer has a leak age inductance of 0.05 p_u and a voltage ratio of VAB/Vab = VAB/Vã ~ b = VAB/Va __ b = 2.95.
The waveforms of the secondary line currents ia, i_ã, and ia _ has a 20° phase displacement between each other. The harmonic spectrum illustrates that the primary line current i_a does not contain the 5th, 7th, 11th, or 13th harmonics and therefore is nearly sinusoidal.
(3) Line Current THD and Input Power Factor. FIG. 3-9 shows the calculated primary line current THD and input power factor of the 18-pulse diode rectifier. Compared with the 12-pulse rectifier, the 18-pulse rectifier has lower line current THD and better power factor. For instance, when the 18-pulse operates under the rated load conditions (IA1 = 1 pu) with Ls = 0.05 p_u, the THD of i_a is reduced from 6.4% of the 12-pulse rectifier to 2.3% and the power factor is slightly increased as well.
3.3 24-Pulse Series-Type Diode Rectifier
The configuration of a 24-pulse series-type diode rectifier is shown in FIG. 3-10, where a phase-shifting transformer is used to power four sets of six-pulse diode rectifiers. To eliminate six dominant current harmonics (the 5th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 17th, and 19th), the transformer should be arranged such that there is a 15° phase displacement between the voltages of any two adjacent secondary windings. The line to-line voltage of each secondary winding is usually one fourth that of the primary winding.
FIG. 3-11 shows the current waveforms in the 24-pulse diode rectifier operating under rated conditions, where i_ a are the primary currents referred from the secondary side of the transformer. Each of these currents has a THD of 24%. The primary line current i_a is virtually a sinusoid with only 1.49% total harmonic distortion.
The calculated THD of the line current i_a and input power factor of the 24-pulse rectifier is shown in FIG. 3-12. It can be observed that the rectifier has an excellent THD profile, which meets the harmonic requirements specified by IEEE Standard 519-1992.
In the previous section, we have discussed series-type multipulse diode rectifiers, where the dc outputs of all the six-pulse diode rectifiers are connected in series.
This section focuses on the separate-type multipulse rectifiers, where each of its six-pulse rectifiers feeds a separate dc load.
4.1 12-Pulse Separate-Type Diode Rectifier
The block diagram of a 12-pulse separate-type diode rectifier is shown in FIG. 4-1.
The rectifier configuration is essentially the same as that of the 12-pulse series-type rectifier except that two separate dc loads are employed instead of a single dc load.
FIG. 4-2 illustrates an application example of the 12-pulse separate-type rectifier as a front end for a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter-fed drive. The phase-shifting transformer has six secondary windings, of which three are wye-connected with = 0 and the other three are delta-connected having a of 30°. Each of the secondary windings feeds a six-pulse diode rectifier. Since all wye-connected secondary windings are identical and so are the delta-connected windings, it is essentially a 12-pulse transformer. The six-pulse rectifiers provide isolated dc volt ages to H-bridge inverters, whose outputs are connected in cascade, providing a three-phase ac voltage to the motor.
FIG. 4-3 shows the current waveforms of the 12-pulse separate-type rectifier operating with a rated line current. The waveform of the secondary line current i_a is similar to that of the "stand-alone" six-pulse rectifier. This is due to the fact that with the line inductance Ls assumed to be zero, the 12-pulse rectifier is essentially composed of two units of stand-alone six-pulse rectifiers. The dc currents in the two rectifiers, i and i~ , contain a higher ripple component compared with that in the 12-pulse series-type rectifier where the dc load sees the leakage inductances of the two secondary windings in series.
The currents ia and iã in FIG. 4-3b are the secondary line currents i_a and i_ã referred to the primary side. For the reasons discussed earlier, the 5th and 7th harmonic currents in ia and iã are out of phase and therefore are canceled in the primary winding of the transformer.
It is interesting to note that although the waveforms of i_a and i_ã differ significant ly from those in the 12-pulse series-type rectifier, the primary line current i_a in both rectifiers has a similar waveform, and so does its THD. This is mainly due to the 12-pulse configuration, where the two most detrimental harmonics, the 5th and 7th, are eliminated. The remaining harmonics have less influence on the line current waveform and its THD. FIG. 4-4 shows the waveforms measured from a 12-pulse separate-type rectifier operating under the rated conditions. The phase shifting transformer has a leakage inductance of 0.045 p_u and a voltage ratio of
VAB/Vab = VAB/Vã~ b = 2.05.
The waveform of the secondary line currents, i_a and i_ã, has two humps per half-cycle while the primary current i_a is close to sinusoidal due to the elimination of the 5th and 7th harmonics as shown in FIG. 4-4b.
The THD of the line current i_a in the 12-pulse separate-type rectifier shown in FIG. 4-5 is somewhat lower than that of the series type. This is mainly due to the differences in harmonic distribution. The secondary line currents in the separate type rectifier contain higher 5th and 7th harmonics but lower 11th and 13th harmonics than those in the series type. When they are reflected to the primary side, the 5th and 7th harmonics are canceled, and thus the lower magnitude of the 11th and 13th harmonics makes a reduction in the line current THD. The power factor profile is also different from that of the 12-pulse series-type rectifier. A notch occurs approximately at IA1 = 0.22 p_u, which signifies a boundary be- tween continuous and discontinuous current operation of the rectifier. The discontinuous current operation normally does not occur in the series-type rectifiers since the dc load sees the leakage inductances of the secondary windings in series, making the dc current continuous over almost the full operation range. The power factor of the separate type is slightly lower than the series type. This is mainly due to the dc load connection, which affects the equivalent inductance seen by the utility supply.
4.2 18- and 24-Pulse Separate-Type Diode Rectifiers
The configuration of the 18-pulse separate-type diode rectifier is shown in FIG. 4-6. It is essentially the same as that of the 18-pulse series-type diode rectifier except for the dc side connection.
The waveforms of the 18-pulse separate-type rectifier are shown in FIG. 4-7.
Due to the elimination of four dominant harmonics, the line current i_a is close to sinusoidal with THD of 3.05%. FIG. 4-8 shows the line current THD and input power factor of the 18- and 24-pulse separate-type rectifiers, respectively. In general, the THD profile of the separate-type rectifiers is somewhat better, and the power factor profile is slightly worse than their series-type counterparts.
This section provides a comprehensive analysis on the multipulse diode rectifiers widely used in high-power medium voltage drives as front-end converters. The main issues discussed in the section are summarized below.
Systematic analysis on 12-, 18- and 24-pulse diode rectifiers. The line current THD and input power factor of the multipulse rectifiers are analyzed.
The line current THD of the 12-pulse diode rectifiers normally do not satisfy the harmonic requirements specified by IEEE Standard 519-1992. The 18 pulse rectifiers have a better harmonic profile, while the 24-pulse rectifiers provide excellent harmonic performance. The input power factor of the multi pulse rectifiers is also analyzed. Rectifiers with more than 30 pulses are rarely used in practice mainly due to increased transformer costs and limited performance improvements.
_ Comparison between series- and separate-type rectifiers. The multipulse rectifiers can be classified into series and separate types for use in various multilevel voltage source inverters. In general, the line current THD profile of the separate-type rectifiers is somewhat better, and the input power factor is slightly worse than their series-type counterparts.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith Schuster has played roughly the same number of snaps aligned out of the slot as he has on the outside over the course of the first three games of the 2017 regular season. That balance could shift more heavily in favor of the inside position starting tomorrow.
There is a legitimate motive to do so. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and offensive coordinator Todd Haley have talked about the potential for matchup problems a wide receiver with his size who can work the middle of the field could present to opposing defenses. His capability of playing in the slot was an attractive quality for them in the draft.
Just think back to the one season in which Jerricho Cotchery earned the role of the number three receiver working in the slot. A bigger-bodied player who had a toughness about him and a willingness to block, he was quite the asset in both the passing game—posting a career-high 10 touchdown receptions—and as a blocker in the running game.
Smith-Schuster has already put forth a highlight-reel-worthy block this season, sending Pro Bowl safety Harrison Smith of the Vikings spilling to the ground with force as he pulled from the right side around left end. There is no shortage of drive for this aspect of the game in the young man.
The Steelers seem not only to see this but to crave it. Smith Schuster played more snaps than Martavis Bryant did overall on Sunday and they appear to be shaping up to sit Eli Rogers in favor of Justin Hunter. Rogers had been their primary slot receiver since the start of last season.
32 of his 53 snaps in that contest saw him lined up in the slot, with many of his snaps lined up on the outside coming in his playing time during which Rogers was also on the field at the same time. it stands to reason that the proportion of the rookie's snaps that come out of the slot will only rise should Rogers be a gameday inactive.
The Steelers have as a team rushed for 3.1 yards per carry on average over the course of the first three games on 66 rushing attempts. They have averaged 4.5 yards per carry on the 13 runs in which Smith-Schuster was on the field and in the slot.
To warn against overreaction and oversimplification in response to that statistic due to the small sample size is fair. But the Steelers appear to desire this body type and presence in this role in the slot anyway, so seeing early productive results from it is nothing but a positive.
Smith-Schuster's work in the slot is not going to be defined as a run blocker. He is going to have to pull his weight as a wide receiver, though it would be stating the obvious that the Steelers believe he will deliver in this area as well. He has five receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks.

Martial knife grips, Angles of attack. The use of natural body weapons in conjunction with the knife. The proven "Zone Defense" system that enables a practitioner to effectively defend himself against hundreds of different attacks by mastering a few basic defensive movements.

Optional Equipment: A quality trainer knife such as those made by Spyderco or Keen Edge Knives. A forearm guard (A forearm guard is mandatory for longer training sessions but optional for short training sessions like this one.. A forearm guard is nothing more than a McDavid model 478 athletic thigh wrap available from sporting goods stores.) See the general policies page for suggestions on food, drink, clothing, etc.
Taught by: Allen Elishewitz
Allen is the owner of Elishewitz Custom Creations (www.elishewitzknives.com ) and one of America's most widely respected knife-makers and knife designers.

Chuck lives in Amarillo, Texas and is an Emergency Manager for a Federal Government Agency. Chuck teaches knife, and defensive tactics regularly to peace officers and corrections officers.
Facility: A-Zone Range
Additional information: Martial Blade Concepts(MBC) is an edged-weapon training program specifically designed to meet the needs of today's concerned citizen and armed professional. MBC emphasizes the development of "all-purpose" defensive skills. Rather than learning a large number of specific techniques to defend against specific attacks, MBC focuses on perfecting a few proven techniques and learning how to apply them to literally hundreds of different defensive situations. Through this easy-to-learn method, students develop defensive proficiency very quickly and have both the ability and the confidence to employ their skills after only a brief period of training.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to describe the relationship between executive function (EF) and performance in different areas of the neurocognitive profile in young girls with Fragile-X-Syndrome (FXS). Method: A neuropsychological assessment was carried out to 40 female participants aged 7–16 years (26 FXS, 14 control group). Results: Regarding intellectual ability, in the group of girls with FXS 3.84 % of the participants obtained IQ scores in the range of moderate ID (IQ 35–40 to 49), 46.15 % in the range of mild ID (IQ 50–70), 38.46 % in the borderline range (IQ 70–85), and 11.53 % within the average range (IQ > 85). EF was found to have a greater influence on adaptive behavior, arithmetic ability, theory of mind, leadership, social integration, social competence, and anxiety/shyness in the group with FXS. Conclusions: In girls with FXS, EF showed a greater influence on adaptive behavior, arithmetic ability, and social domain.

In a year that's bringing a lot of stress, prioritizing and supporting teacher mental health within the walls of the school building can go a long way to boosting morale. While many of the larger problems are not within the power of school leaders to change immediately, there are plenty of small steps they can take in the short-term to mitigate the stress on teachers and foster a culture where educators and staff feel inherently valued. Check out these mental health resources for teachers and ideas for how to get started.
Ideas and Resources to Support Teacher Mental Health
Here's a quick list of ideas and resources to boost teacher morale and support the mental health of teachers and staff. While the ideas below are around supporting an entire school staff, quite a few of these resources can be used by individual teachers looking to support their own mental health and wellbeing, too.
Time and space to step back and reflect.
For busy teachers, it can be difficult to find the time to slow down and take a moment to recognize and address how they're feeling. Consider carving out time during staff meetings — or even offering dedicated professional development sessions — for teachers to step back and reflect. If you're a teacher, consider speaking to your school's leadership team about scheduling a staff meeting that's dedicated to this topic.
Having this time will enable teachers to identify what they're struggling with and start working on finding the resources and/or support they need. Providing outlets for teachers to voice their feelings, process what they're dealing with, and identify solutions will go a long way toward boosting teacher morale.
Stress Management and Self-Care for Teachers by School Counseling is Magical
With this professional development PowerPoint, teachers will identify sources of stress, recognize the signs of burnout, learn techniques to recover, and most importantly, develop a personal self-care plan.
The Self Care Journal and Planner for Stress Management by Root and Sprout Learning
This stress management and self-care journal guides teachers on how to manage stress and implement a wellness plan that's unique to each individual.
Mental Health and Wellbeing Pack for Teachers by Oceanview Resources
This resource is the ultimate source for mental health-related workbooks, journals, and planners, and covers anxiety, depression, and a lot more.
Reminders to focus on wellbeing.
Teachers put a lot of effort and time in supporting their students. But all that hard work and caring can come at a steep price, especially during stressful times like today. Encourage teachers to focus on themselves by reducing demands on their time, and encouraging them to take breaks, set boundaries, and disconnect. In addition, find resources (like some of the ones below) to give teachers a regular outlet for their own stress and/or engage in restorative activities that can help them focus on themselves.
Teacher Staff Wellbeing Checklist by Inspired Classroom X
Keep track of how you're looking after yourself throughout the week by checking off any mindfulness or wellbeing activities that you complete.
Self Care and Resilience Building for Teachers by The Counseling Teacher Brandy
This checklist includes 50 ways to build resilience and practice practical self care.
Self-Care Bingo for Teachers by Creative Access
Perfect to use as a day-to-day reminder to practice self-care. Print out a new one each week and challenge yourself and your colleagues to get bingo every week.
Teachers Wellbeing and Positivity Coloring Book Kids Innovation Kingdom
This coloring activity is the perfect way to do something intentional and deliberate to support your wellbeing.
A culture of recognition and appreciation.
Just like students, teachers and school staff also appreciate a shout-out for the hard work they're doing. Make it a point to create a culture that shows teachers, with actions, how much they're valued. (And this goes for teachers, too: Seek out ways to support your colleagues, if you have the space to do so. Writing a note of encouragement or just lending an ear could make all the difference to one of your peers.)
Teacher Wellbeing Pack by Rainbow Sky Creations
Use this staff well-being pack to celebrate and appreciate the amazing teachers in your school building.
While none of these ideas are a cure-all for the systemic issues educators are facing, they can be a starting point for boosting teacher morale and fostering an atmosphere that's supportive of teachers' mental health.

Babies, MRI techniques and binge-watching television shows: Q&A with Catherine Nevin
Catherine Nevin, MSc Candidate in the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, makes being a graduate trainee look easy. Despite never having worked with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology before entering her current program, she has managed to excel in her research on fetal growth restriction, and her work has already earned her an Ontario Women's Health Scholars Award.
We sat down with Nevin to discuss her background, her experiences so far as an MSc Candidate, and what she likes to do when she's not in the lab.
Where were you born and raised?
I was born and raised in a small town called King City. My family and I have lived in the same house for my whole life, so it's a very special place to me.
What was your education prior to becoming an MSc Candidate in the Department of Physiology & Pharmacology?
I completed my Bachelor of Science (honours) degree with distinction at the University of Guelph in their biomedical science program.
Can you tell me about the research you are currently working on, as well as what the potential impact of this research is?
I am currently working under the supervision of Bryan Richardson, PhD, and my research is focused on brain development in fetal growth restriction (FGR). FGR occurs in five to 10 per cent of babies born in Canada, and it increases the risk of later developmental brain disorders including cerebral palsy, autism, attention deficit hyperactive disorder and schizophrenia, with risk directly proportional to the extent of FGR.
We use a robust model of maternal nutrient restriction to cause FGR in utero in animal models to study brain development. With the use of MRI and other MRI techniques, we will be able to identify brain developmental abnormalities and biomarkers to predict the presence and extent of brain injury. This will provide a basis for future interventions to identify and decrease potential cognitive developmental abnormalities.
Why did you make the decision to go into this field?
When I decided that I wanted to pursue a master's degree, I wanted to ensure that the research I was getting involved with had a clinical application. Additionally, I really enjoyed my embryology class during my undergraduate career, so I wanted to learn more about the process of brain development in utero. Richardson's lab seemed to be the perfect fit.
What do you find most challenging about the work you do?
I completed my undergraduate degree in biomedical science, so it was heavily based on physiology and the different organ systems. When I started my master's degree, it was a huge learning curve as I was working with MRI in a physiology department. I had to do a lot of reading and I even took an MRI course to understand the basics and physics of how it works. Now I feel a lot more comfortable with MRI, although there is much more I have yet to learn.
You recently received an Ontario Women's Health Scholars Award for your research. What did receiving the award mean to you?
Receiving the award was a huge milestone for me in my career. It was amazing to find out that I am representing Western University for the Master's Level of the Ontario Women's Health Scholars Award. The award not only recognizes all the hard work I have put into my project, but also the importance of this research for women and their children. I am so excited to continue on with my research for the next year and present it at future conferences.
Can you tell me about any career- or research-related goals you may have?
Since my research is so clinically relevant, I would really love to go into some sort of clinical health practice, whether that is medicine or nursing. It is so important for the medical community to be up-to-date with the research going on and to practise evidence-based care, and I think I have a strong understanding of that importance by completing my master's degree.
What do you enjoy best about Schulich Medicine & Dentistry and the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology?
I am very privileged to be part of Schulich Medicine & Dentistry due to its amazing reputation for education and research. I really enjoy how the School brings together the three professions of medicine, dentistry and research as a hub of knowledge. The Department of Physiology and Pharmacology is an outstanding department with great faculty, optimistic trainees and many collaborators to work with.
What do you enjoy doing when you're not working?
I enjoy doing what any other graduate student likes doing — binge watching television shows on Netflix. Other than that, I really enjoy hanging out with the friends I have met at Western and trying to scope out the best deals for drinks and food at various downtown restaurants. I also recently just adopted a cat from the London Humane Society, so I'll probably become a crazy cat lady soon enough.

Ambient Theatre Fury
Wed 7 Dec '2221:00NL premiereFrascati, AmsterdamFrascati 2
Thu 8 Dec '2221:00Frascati, AmsterdamFrascati 2
With Ambient Theatre Fury, Anna Franziska Jäger and Nathan Ooms continue their artistic research into the relationship between digital media and subjectivity in crisis. After Bartlebabe, which unraveled the individual in a virtuoso monologue, Ambient Theatre Fury marks the next step: the search for a dialogue between flamboyant and anxious subjectivities.
Jäger and Ooms start from the observation that contemporary culture is increasingly pervaded by so-called 'ambient' experiences. Netflix series, popular songs, but also the streams of our social media feeds: this ambience arises from a specific intersection of frivolous pleasure with banal seduction. All this clamor generates a form of absence; it is a type of pseudo-activity that numbs the sense of time and demands a certain stillness from the subject. What happens when this ambient quality is magnified and amplified, gliding nervously or raging furiously across the scene?
About the artists
Anna Franziska Jäger (1996) is a theatre maker, actress and performer who obtained her master degree in Drama at KASK School of Arts in Ghent in 2020. Bartlebabe, which was created as Anna Franziska's graduation piece and eventually premiered in CAMPO Ghent (2021), is the third collaboration with former classmate Nathan Ooms and for which they received the Mathilde Horlait-Dapsens prize. Together they also created As a matter of fiction (2018) and Some Things Last A Long Time (2019). They are currently working on their new creation Ambient Theatre Fury (premiere CAMPO, March 2022).
As a performer she worked with Michiel Vandevelde for the performances Love Songs (Veldeke) (fABULEUS, 2013) and Human Landscapes - Book I (2018); with company Desnor for Toverberg (2019); with tibaldus for Madmen & Specialists (2020); with Carly Rae Heathcote for The Incantation Ploy (2021) and with Nathan for his graduation piece The Honey House (2021) at P.A.R.T.S..
She's part of Ne mosquito pas, a performance platform founded in 2019 for performance artists who want to exploit their failed ideas and bad taste to make them even worse, in the format of a short solo performance, organising events in off-space venues in Brussels and other cities.
As an actress in cinema, she played the lead character in the film My Queen Karo (2009) by Dorothée Van Den Berghe, as well as more recently in Cleo (2019) by Eva Cools, for which she received the Rising Star Award at the Alice Nella Citta film festival in Rome. She acted in shortfilms like Braided Love (2018) by Rand Abou Fakher and Come Here (2020) by Marieke De Zwaan.
She has written articles and essays about theatre, acting and digitalisation for Etcetera, magazine for performing arts, and Sabzian, an online platform for writing on cinema and image culture.
Nathan Ooms (1996) is a performer, theatre and dance maker. He obtained his bachelor (2018) and master (2019) degree in Drama at KASK School of Arts, Ghent. During these studies he did an Erasmus exchange at the Academy for Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam, and an internship with choreographer Ula Sickle where he worked on the performance Relay (2018).

The Luminaries; the Sun and the Moon:by Vinay Bajrangi World Renowned Astrologer

He is tall an majestic, has few hairs, possesses strong and eyes of yellow color and is of bilious disposition. The body is both real and mixed black and is broad, loves war,
is strong during the day. He is lean, likes bitter and pungent things, loves truth, is charitable, righteous, God- fearing, loving and helps others. He is dignified, honorable, generous, and punctual and has excellent and severe manners. He is industrious, entertains noble thoughts. He has strong willpower, which bestows power, authority, dignity, resolution, and self-reliance and is a source of all lungs and vital organs. He wanders through the forest. He looks in appearance as around fifty years (Earth). Wears cloth of thick thread the sun represents the soul in man. A well-placed Sun in the natal chart bestows an aggressive individuality.
She is the queen among planets and is next to the sun. She represents the mind as the Sun represents the soul of any living organism. It also represents personality, feeling, emotions, passions, pleasure, and pain. She is waxing or waning accordingly as manifested in the brighter or darker half. The former is called the Shukla Paksha and the latter Krishna Paksha, on Earth (obvious observation).
The waxing Moon is benefic, whereas the waning would be malefic. Some perceive the Moon to be benefic from the fifth of Shukla paksha to the fifth of Krishna Paksha and malefic afterward.
Moon is female and Vaisya by the caste according to the Manu Samhita. She influences more strongly during the night as compared to the Sun's activity during the day.
She is fair, attractive, capable of knowing things, related to aesthetics, white as observed on Earth, fickle-minded, wavering, breezy, and phlegmatic in the constitution and possesses more blood, speaks sweet words and is kind-hearted. She has a round and tall body. She is a friend, is of the Satvik temperament, mild, truthful, charitable, God-fearing, righteous, loving, optimistic and helps others. Her physique comprises short arms, thick hands and feet, grey eyes and a round face. A malefic moon causes venereal diseases and shows an appetite for salty things.
The Moon is a satellite of the Earth and nearest to the Earth, having significant implications on the life of this planet. The Moon has a considerable effect over mind, emotions, sentiments and human activity of all sorts. In Indian astrology, monthly forecasts are often made from the transits of planets from the natal moon. The Moon thus occupies a pivotal position in the Indian system of astrology. The placement of the Moon in the natal chart reveals the basic likes and dislikes of man and flaws which can make or mar an individual's life and standing.
The Moon revolves around the Earth. It is 238840 miles away from the Earth and goes around the Earth in roughly 28 days. The Moon is a feminine planet and signifies fair complexion, young and attractive features and well-shaped body.
In the first house, the moon gives the attractive appearance and in the 2nd house blesses the native with a reasonable accumulation of wealth. In the third house, he gets ample love and affection from his brothers and sisters. He will also get enough strength and courage to face problems in life. In the 4th house, it bestows moderate happiness through vehicles, landed properties and mother's affection. It also makes him happy and gives enjoyment of the life. In the 5th house, the Moon endows the native with creative intelligence, and one of his children becomes famous. In the 6th house, it causes some adversaries and stomach ailments and adversely affects his compatibility with his life partner. In other words, in conjugal happiness, there could be some strains and hassles. But if life the native is born on the full Moon, its location in the 6th house is quite comfortable. In the 7th house, the Moon attracts him to the members of the opposite sex and blesses him with an attractive spouse. The placement of the Moon in the 8th house causes some ailments

Legislation is a body of policies, enacted by social and governmental organizations, that control human actions. Regulation is a complicated topic as well as its exact interpretation is often debated. Some take into consideration law a science, while others see it as the art of justice. In this write-up we'll consider what regulation is and also just how it works. We'll also talk about the numerous types of legislation and also the duty they play in our lives. If you're interested in studying law, you can discover a number of helpful sources right here.

Some countries, like the United Kingdom, have both secular and also religious legislations. The percentage of each type of law depends on the advancement of a nation.
Regulations are a complex mosaic of legislations, which can be perplexing to follow. In addition, the regulations are dynamic, transforming often. For example, a court can create a regulation that is contrary to a precedent. A lawmaker can additionally squash a court choice by passing a brand-new law. Moreover, a law can be struck down by the courts if it breaks a constitutional stipulation.
Common law is made up of judicial point of views as well as criteria. These criteria work as a guideline for courts in resolving comparable disputes. The courts often adhere to criteria, though breaking from precedent is occasionally warranted, specifically if conditions or attitudes adjustment.

Penal legislation, on the other hand, is the sort of regulation that imposes penalties on violators.

Each teaspoon (5 grams) of baking powder can be replaced with a 1/4 teaspoon (1 gram) baking soda and a 1/2 teaspoon vinegar.
What happens if you don't use baking powder?
It is possible to make cookies without baking soda or baking powder, but the resulting cookie will be dense. This is because carbon dioxide is not being produced by a chemical reaction that typically occurs when baking soda or powder is present in the cookie batter.
Can baking soda be used in place of baking powder?
Can I substitute baking soda for baking powder? Yes, as long as there is enough of an acidic ingredient to make a reaction (for 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, you need 1 cup of buttermilk or yogurt or 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar).
What can I use if I don't have baking powder or baking soda?
If you have baking soda, but you don't have baking powder, you'll need to use baking soda plus an acid, such as cream of tartar. For every teaspoon of baking powder, you'll want to substitute in ¼ tsp of baking soda with ½ tsp of cream of tartar.
Can I leave baking powder out of a recipe?
For every teaspoon of baking powder, you'll want to substitute in ¼ tsp of baking soda with ½ tsp of cream of tartar. If you don't have any cream of tartar, you can also substitute one teaspoon of baking powder with a mixture of ¼ tsp of baking soda plus ½ tsp of either vinegar or lemon juice.
Why use both baking powder and baking soda in a recipe?
That's why baking powder is used as well– to add necessary lift. Basically, the reason for both is because sometimes you need more leavening than you have acid available in the recipe. It's all about balance. Another reason to use both baking powder and baking soda is because they affect both browning and flavor.
Can I substitute egg for baking powder?
If you are baking bread or cake and want a little extra leavening power, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder for every egg.
Can I use baking soda instead of baking powder for pancakes?
Can I make pancakes without baking powder? Yes, absolutely. To use baking soda instead of baking powder, you will need to swap the milk for sour milk or buttermilk and use 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
Can I use cornstarch instead of baking powder?
Baking Powder Substitute Options
To make 1 tsp, all you need is cream of tartar, cornstarch, and baking soda – the three ingredients used in baking powder.
Should I use baking soda or baking powder in muffins?
Because of baking soda's bitter taste, it must be paired with a sweeter tasting acidic compound. Baking soda is most commonly used in cookie and muffin recipes. Baking powder, however, already contains an acid and a base and has a more neutral taste, which works great when baking cakes and bread.
How do you make dumplings from scratch without baking powder?
For a recipe with no baking powder, only three ingredients are usually used: all-purpose flour, salt, and water. Others use cooking oil instead of water. Either combination will produce dense and chewy dumplings.
What is a substitute for 1 tablespoon of baking powder?
To make 1 tablespoon baking powder, mix 2 teaspoons cream of tartar with 1 teaspoon baking soda (add 1 teaspoon cornstarch if you're making a big batch—it prevents the mixture from caking, but it's not necessary).
How do you make baking powder?
To make your own baking powder – some say with fewer metallic undertones than the commercial stuff – mix one part baking soda to one part cornstarch and two parts cream of tartar. For example: 1/4 teaspoon baking soda + 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar + 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch = 1 teaspoon homemade baking powder.
Why do I taste baking powder?
Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate. It requires an acid to activate, which in turn neutralizes it. If you are adding baking soda to your batters and there is no acid, and the baking soda is not properly blended into the flour, you will end up with a terrible bitter taste.
What happens if you don't put baking soda in cake?
If the baking soda does not get enough acidic elements in the batter it will not react properly and the cake will fall flat. Unreacted baking soda leaves a metallic and soapy taste in the baked goods.

If you are just starting out in making trades, you should be knowledgeable with market dynamics. You must know the indicators that will direct you on your investing career, just as you must understand the indicators that will lead you on your trading adventure. In addition, the candlestick is one of the most important signals to monitor.
What are Candlesticks?
Let us take a quick look back in time to find an answer. The candlestick was invented by the Japanese. They used their older version to swap rice in the 17th century. It is, however, very different from the present candlestick.
Candlestick charts were first used in the modern sense in 1850. Of course, it was changed in the end. Candlesticks are used by traders in a variety of time frames, including daily, 1-hour, 5-minute, and 1-minute. The candlestick is green in colour and red, and the "Body" component in this case is the one that is named "Body." Finally, shadows are tiny lines on the top and bottom of the body that show the high/low range but are more commonly referred to as "wicks" or "tails." When it comes to wicks, the largest point is called "high," and the weakest point is called "low." When a coin closes above the initial price (usually characterized by green candlesticks), the starting price will be at the very bottom of the body of the green candle, and the closing price will be at the top.
When a coin decides to close below its initial price (the red candle), the top of the red candle's body represents the opening price and the bottom represents the closing price. It is important to note that the green candlestick represents buying pressure, while the red candlestick represents selling pressure. There are also three types of traders: buyers, sellers, and undecided. Consumers want to buy coins for a cheap cost, while merchants want to sell them for a high price. This can be seen in buyers and sellers orders on exchanges. As a result, the price of a coin appears to be the result of hundreds of traders — buyers, sellers, and those unsure whether to buy or sell a coin. As a trader, you want to look at the chart to find a good balance. It is up to you to determine which group is the right choice.
This battle, thankfully, can be seen on candlestick charts; however, you must understand how to interpret them. Consumers purchase since they believe the value of a coin will rise. Merchants are selling because they think that the price of cryptocurrency will fall. Buyers drive up market prices (buyers have clout), while sellers drive them down (sellers control the game). Undecided traders hasten this process in order to create a sense of urgency in buying and selling. You can form an opinion on a currency's overall sentiment if you learn to interpret candlesticks. This is referred to as "price action." In trading, it is critical to understand who has price control. If you want to look at the most recent updates about market volume, price predictions, and cryptocurrency trends, Dart Europe is a good place to start.
The Various Kinds of Candles in Crypto
Doji candlestick
The Doji candlestick comes in a variety of shapes, but its distinguishing feature is that its body is usually small or non-existent. It's almost like a spinning top. Both are undecided. That is, a Doji on a chart indicates that no one has yet won the battle between bulls and bears. Dojis are shaped like a spinning top. Specific dojis, however, such as shooting star Doji, do not have the same wick length at the top and bottom.
Spinning tops
Spinning tops are candles that have exactly equal high and low wicks that are frequently longer than the candle body. Experts refer to this situation as indecision. It shows that customer and supplier power is roughly equal, and nothing is superior. The amount of this type of candle is frequently minimal. Market participants are watching to see who will win the battle among both sellers and buyers.
Hammer Doji
The Doji is a hammer Doji if the lower wick is longer. It denotes that sellers were unable to reduce the value of a currency. This indicates that purchasing power is increasing, which could lead to a bullish reversal.
Shooting star Doji
When the wick of a Doji candle is longer in altitude, it indicates that buyers were unable to push the price higher. It is still an indecision candlestick, but it indicates that the bulls and bears are losing power and will no longer control the price.
Top reversal strategy
Bulls have taken control with the top reversal, which means buyers are pushing the price higher. Its apex is the shooting star doji, which implies market indecision. The bears then take command. Sellers are attempting to negotiate a lower price.
Bottom reversal strategy
All Dojis represent hesitancy and possibility reversals. When the Doji creates a positive trend, it simply means that the bulls' power has been depleted, and the bears will soon maintain control of the price. Likewise, when the Doji forms on a negative downward trend, it indicates that the bears are tiring and that the bulls will soon take control.
It's important to remember that once you've mastered the candlestick. You shouldn't get too excited because candles aren't perfect. Please keep in mind that these candles only represent indecision and not a definitive reversal. Examine confirmation candles as well as other technical indicators such as support and resistance levels.

The Bottom Line
Candlesticks are just one of several technical indicators in the cryptocurrency market; therefore, a merchant should not base his action purely on this tool. At first, these trends are difficult to identify. However, with enough practice, you will start adapting to them.

I have been a regular user of AHAs and BHAs for over two years now, but never have I really stepped into the Vitamin C world, until now. Enter: TIAM My Signature Red C Serum.
Claims: This product features 20% Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Glutathione, and Niacinamide. The product claims that it will help treat dullness and uneven skintone, while preventing signs of aging by offering free radical fighting antioxidants.
Texture and Functionality: I have been applying this in my AM routine, following my morning cleanse and a light layer of non-hydrating toner. About one dropper full is enough to cover my entire face.

My review on Eva-NYC Zero Gravity Volume Powder
I requested this product in my Ipsy Glambag a while back cause I was very curious about it. I am SOOOOO glad I did! This product gives my hair such volume. I pull my hair back into a ponytail (wet) and when its ALMOST completely dryed, I let my hair down and apply the product!! After I apply the product, I do some scrunching and tossing around with my hair and then style and hairspray for a long holding desired look!! After I'm done, this product makes my hair look like I blow dryed my hair when I didn't. It's not that expensive, and this is my new go to hair style product. I have maybe only 1 suggestion…make the holes just a little bit bigger on the container. That way your not having to constant shake hard to get the product to come out. Other than that, fantastic product!!!
