On the afternoon of the event, Brian Pillman, who was scheduled to face Dude Love on the show, was found dead in his hotel room. Bearer revealed that he had raised Kane after the fire and that Kane now was coming to the WWF to challenge Undertaker. Bearer claimed to have proof in the form of Undertaker's half brother Kane, who was alive after all. Undertaker's former manager, Paul Bearer, had his face burned by a fireball thrown by Undertaker at In Your House 14: Revenge of the 'Taker, Bearer compared the incident to a fire that burned down the funeral home that killed The Undertaker's parents and possibly his younger half-brother for which he blamed The Undertaker but Undertaker denied it. After a previous match between Undertaker and Michaels to determine a number one contender for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship ended in a double Disqualification at Ground Zero: In Your House, a cage match called a Hell in a Cell match was scheduled for Badd Blood, which would be the first-ever Hell in a Cell match held by the WWF. Michaels tried to hit Hart with a chair but accidentally struck Undertaker instead, causing Hart to win the match and the title. The rivalry dated back to August at SummerSlam, when Michaels served as guest referee for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship match between The Undertaker and Bret Hart. The main feud heading into Badd Blood involved The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. Badd Blood: In Your House was the 18th In Your House event and took place on October 5, 1997, at the Kiel Center in St. They aired when the promotion was not holding one of its then-five major PPVs ( WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble), and were sold at a lower cost. In Your House was a series of monthly pay-per-view (PPV) shows first produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in May 1995. The show's theme song was the first theme song of former WWE star Steve Blackman. Unlike the other former In Your House events that became their own PPVs over the following year after In Your House's discontinuation, Bad Blood (stylized with one "d" in "Bad") did not return until June 2003, becoming the annual June PPV however, it was short-lived as the event was discontinued after the 2004 event. ![]() This was one of the In Your House events which later became the title of an annual pay-per-view, replacing the method at the time of making new names for all events aside from the "Big Five" ( Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, King of the Ring, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series). Thus, Badd Blood: In Your House was the last WWF PPV of the New Generation Era. ![]() According to WWE, the Montreal Screwjob, which took place at Survivor Series 1997, is considered the beginning of the Attitude Era.

At some point prior to the film, he took ownership of Megara's soul as the result of one of these bargains. Though temperamental and destructive, he is a persuasive fast-talker and a shrewd bargainer acting along the lines of a seedy car salesman or con artist. As an Olympian God, he is immortal and specifically has authority over the dead. Hades is normally cynical, sarcastic, manipulative, and ruthless, but he has a serious anger management problem. Hades wears a black, gray, and blue robe with skull garments. In Hercules: The Animated Series, when Hades is confused or embarrassed, his hair goes out, revealing his baldness. Hades' fire hair also affects his emotions: when he is angry, his skin turns red and his hair turns orange. He has bluish-gray skin, flaming blue hair, yellow eyes, and sharp teeth. In the musical, he was portrayed by Roger Bart, who also provided the singing voice of Hercules in the 1997 original film. His singing voice was provided by Rob Paulsen in the song "It's Our House Now!" in Mickey's House of Villains.

Hades is the main antagonist of Disney's Hercules franchise, serving as the main antagonist of Disney's thirty-fifth full-length animated feature film Hercules and Hercules: The Animated Series, one of the secondary antagonists in Mickey's House of Villains, and a recurring antagonist in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. The heart is "fluttering" in the chestĪny rapid heartbeat (or tachycardia) can give rise to this feeling. The beat after the pause is more forceful than normal, giving the "thumping" sensation. People are not usually aware of the early, extra beat, but may be aware of the pause, which follows it (the heart seems to stop). Usually this feeling is caused by an extra beat (premature beat or extrasystole) that happens earlier than the next normal beat, and results in a pause until the next normal beat comes through. You may have the feeling that your heart stops beating for a moment, and then starts again with a "thump" or a "bang". People may describe their palpitations in lots of different ways, but there are some common patterns: The heart "stops" decongestants and cold cures, or avoiding excessive alcohol use. Even if treatment is required, the cure may be quite simple, such as avoiding caffeine (coffee, tea, coca cola), avoiding drugs which can make the heart race e.g. The first thing to emphasise about palpitations is that they usually do not mean that you have a significant heart problem, and in many cases do not even require treatment, although just occasionally they can be an indicator of a potentially serious condition. The heart muscle can continue to contract effectively even if the electrical system is "misfiring" from time to time. The heart beats in response to an electrical stimulus (a bit like the way a car engine fires in response to a spark from a spark plug), and palpitations usually stem from a problem in this electrical system that generates the heartbeat. Normally, of course, you are not aware of your heart beating at all. An abnormal heart rhythm is referred to as an arrhythmia. If the heart continues to beat very fast for a long period of time, the heart function can weaken and it will then lead to the development of heart failure.Palpitations are an awareness of your own heartbeat, usually because the heartbeat seems irregular, or unusually rapid, or in some other way "different" to normal. These clots can then migrate up to the brain and cause strokes.Ītrial fibrillation also causes the heart to beat very fast. This cause the blood in the upper chamber of the heart to stagnate and form tiny clots. As such, the chambers are not really contracting but merely quivering. What are the complications of atrial fibrillation?Ītrial fibrillation results from the chaotic electrical beating of the upper chambers of the heart.
![]() When I sleep with a partner, I wake up less often than in the past, thanks to the minimal motion transfer of this mattress, which is huge for me. I do still wake up during the night, and I sometimes toss and turn, but that’s more a result of stress than the mattress itself. I’ve been sleeping quite well on the Nectar Premier. Ahead are all of my detailed thoughts about this mattress, which is, in a word, heavenly. To inform this review, I referenced SELF’s mattress buying guide, which is chock-full of recommendations by sleep experts. ![]() To make sure my review was not affected by the addition of the mattress cover, I removed it for the first three months of testing the Nectar Premier. I also have the Eight Sleep Pod Pro 2, a smart mattress cover that regulates temperature and offers health and sleep data. I’ve been sleeping on the Nectar Premier mattress for four months, after receiving it and the Nectar Platform Bed in early August. Read on for my full Nectar Premier Mattress review. I replaced it with the Nectar Premier mattress, hoping for the same comfort and support as the original with some temperature-regulating upgrades-and it far exceeded my expectations. It served me well until this year when I moved to a new apartment and the thought of moving the Nectar out of my former walk-up apartment was simply too daunting. I liked how firm it was and that it supported my joints and muscles after tough workouts. I bought the original Nectar mattress when I moved to New York City in 2019. I tried countless hacks, sleep products, and lifestyle changes to stop waking up sweaty (and getting stirred so frequently each night), but it turns out that all it took was the right mattress. And not in the, “You’re pretty when you sleep” way, just the straight-up damp way. Not only am I a light sleeper who wakes up whenever my partner gets out of bed, but I’m also quite the hot sleeper. As a former child who slept through anything, including her mom running the vacuum, it feels like a betrayal that I grew up to be a fussy adult sleeper. ![]() This pdf editor provides a set of tools for editing pdf documents in a limited way.

The slower the fire the better the charcoal.” “If he burns fast he leaves nowt but ash. “We want ours to burn good and slow,” said Young Billy. Great piles of wood are carefully arranged above or below ground so that once the fire is set the heat that is generated slowly "bakes" the wood, vaporizing off the moisture, vaporizing off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leaving behind the hard black crusted charcoal. How was charcoal originally made? Basically the same way it is made today around the world. Charcoal burns hotter and cleaner than wood and so wood was converted to charcoal. Charcoal’s first application (circa 1750 B.C.) was as a fuel for smelting ore. Historically charcoal has been made from wood, both softwoods and hardwoods. Irrespective of what the source is for charcoal, the carbon structure has been so altered from its original configuration as to present an extremely intricate and extremely porous internal matrix, giving it a large surface area available for adsorption ("a dsorption" - the ability to bind atoms/molecules to a surface), or chemical reactions. ![]() Having looked at carbon as a building block, let’s look at what makes charcoal so distinct from the other forms of pure carbon.
