However, each word describes a different mechanism by which air is restricted. When a person is choking, some sort of foreign object inside the body is blocking airflow. When someone is being strangled, an outside force is exerting enough pressure to impede movement of air. Because both choking and strangulation can lead to serious injury and even death, it’s important to understand the differences between them, including the ways in which each cause harm, how to recognize when someone is choking or has been strangled, and what to do if you or someone else is experiencing either....

Adams argued that “society” forced parents to choose between murdering their own “broken” teenage sons or risking additional deaths in a series of tweets on Wednesday.

However, after the footage faded to black many wondered if we would have to wait a full year to hear more about Star Wars: Battlefront. After all, the teaser trailer did end with a “Spring 2015” tag.

Realistically, there is no way a New World pirate could feasibly survive without Haki. As a testament to his power, Ace is one of the rare few characters to possess all three....
