"I remember saying my hellos and then just sitting in my stall, not talking to him for weeks."
Only one player in NHL history was a teammate of both Wayne Gretzky and Alex Ovechkin. My story on what he learned about the legends, on and off the ice:

'I get to be one of the funny trivia answers!' Meet the only NHL teammate of Ovechkin and Gretzky
With Ovi set to break Gretzky's career goals record, many comparisons have been drawn between them. But only one man can say he was a teammate of both.

x% of y = y% of x
So, in order to calculate a percentage in your head it might be easier to turn it around.
What is 4% of 50?
It's the same as 50% of 4.

New Year's in Japan means people are eating mochi rice cakes as part of a tradition dating back to the Heian Era. Unfortunately, the treat has claimed one choking victim so far. It's bound to claim more, as more people die yearly from mochi choking than traffic accidents.
Mochi Choking Deaths Skyrocket in Japan With The New Year - Unseen Japan
Every year, more people in Japan die from choking on mochi, the country's famous chewy rice treat, than die in automobile accidents.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.
It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!
