In 1917, games started to be played in the National Hockey League.
In the first two seasons, there were only three teams, but now, there are thirty-one.
Over the time that it has been around the NHL has added and lost teams many times.
This is the complete history of organizational changes in the NHL.
The first four NHL teams were the Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Wanderers, the original Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Arenas, but after only playing four games, the Wanderers arena was burned down.
This made them leave the league.
In the 1919-20 NHL season, the NHL added its first new team - the Quebec Bulldogs.
Also, the Toronto Arenas changed their name to the St. Patricks.
In the 1920-21 NHL season, the Quebec Bulldogs moved to Hamilton and became the Tigers.
The next season, the NHL added another new team - the  Pittsburgh Pirates.
Also, the Hamilton Tigers moved to New York City and became the New York Americans.
The NHL continued to add teams the next season, adding the Chicago Black Hawks, the Detroit Cougars and the New York Rangers.
This means the league finished its first season with three teams in 1917, but ended up with more than three times more by the end of their first decade.
Also, during this season, the Toronto St. Patricks changed their name to the Maple Leafs.
In the 1930-31 NHL season, the Pirates moved to Philadelphia and became the Quakers, while the Detroit Cougars changed their name to the Falcons.
The NHL finally lost a team four the first time in fourteen seasons.
The Philadelphia Quakers and Ottawa Senators did not play in the 1931-32 NHL season.
In the 1932-33 NHL season, the Ottawa Senators rejoined the league and the Detroit Falcons were renamed the Red Wings.
In the 1934-35 NHL season, the Ottawa Senators moved to St. Louis and became the Eagles.
The league lost the Montreal Maroons in the 1938-39 NHL season, bringing the number of teams to seven, the same number of teams there were 12 years before.
There were seven teams for four seasons.
The last season there was this many teams was 1941-42.
That year, the New York Americans moved to Brooklyn and left the league the next season.
When the league lost the Brooklyn Americans in 1943, a new era began called the Original Six era.
For the next 25 years, there were no organization changes.
Expansion Years
The 1966-67 NHL season was the last year of the Orginal Six era because in the 1967-68 NHL season, there were 12 teams, or twice as many as there were the year before.
The new six teams were the California Seals, the Los Angeles Kings, the Minnesota North Stars, the Philadelphia Flyers, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the St. Louis Blues.
During this season, California was renamed the Oakland Seals.
The Oakland Seals were then renamed the California Golden Seals for the 1970-71 NHL season.
The same year, the league added two new teams - the Buffalo Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks.
Again, after two years, two more teams joined the NHL - the Washington Capitals and the Kansas City Scouts.
Two years later, the California Golden Seals moved to Cleveland and became the Barons.
The Kansas City Scouts moved also to Denver and became the Colorado Rockies.
In the 1978-79 NHL season, the members of the Cleveland Barons franchise became part of the Minnesota North Stars.
This was the forced time since 1942 that the league lost a team.
In 1979, the World Hockey Association (WHA) ended and four teams from the league joined the NHL.
They were the Edmonton Oilers, the New England Whalers (who became the Hartford Whalers after joining the league), the Quebec Nordiques and the Winnipeg Jets.
At this point, the NHL had three Canadian teams, but with three of the teams coming from the WHA being Canadian, there were then twice as many Canadian teams as before.
Twenty-one teams
In the 1980-81 NHL season, the Atlanta Flames moved to Calgary Flames.
Then, in the 1982-83 NHL season, the Colorado Rockies moved to Newark and became the New Jersey Devils.
In the 1986-87 NHL season, the Chicago Black Hawks changed the spelling of their name to Black Hawks.
Further Expansion
In 1991, lots of teams were beginning to be added to the NHL.
That year, it started with the San Jose Sharks.
The next season, another two teams joined the league - the Florida Panthers and the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim.
Also, the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas Stars and dropped the word "north" from their name.
In the 1995-96 NHL season, the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver and became the Colorado Avalanche.
The next season, the Winnipeg Jets moved also to Phoenix and became the Coyotes.
The season after that, the Hartford Whalers moved to Raleigh and became the Carolina Hurricanes.
Thirty Teams
The NHL added the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Minnesota Wild for the 2000-01 NHL season, bringing the number of teams to thirty.
This was the number of teams there were for 17 seasons.
The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim changed their name to the Anaheim Ducks in the 2006-07 NHL season.
Then, the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg to become the Jets in the 2011-12 NHL season.
Finally, the Phoenix Coyotes changed their name to the Arizona Coyotes in the 2014-15 NHL season.

The Kingdom of France (; ; ) is the name given to various political entities of France in the Middle Ages and modern times.
According to historians, three major events started the Kingdom of France: the advent of Clovis I in 481, the Treaty of Verdun and the election of Hugues Capet in 987.
The kingdom lasted until 1792 and was briefly restored in 1814 to 1815 and then from 1815 to 1848.
The King of the Franks, Clovis I, sealed the alliance of Frankish Kingdoms with the Catholic Church at his baptism.
That alliance was perpetuated in the Kingdom of France by the crowning of kings at Reims, which made them monarchs by divine right.
The first Capetians were anxious to crown their eldest son in their lifetime because their authority was limited in reality to the Ile de France.
It was not until Philippe Auguste that their official acts called it the Kingdom of France and that they are able to make a real act of authority throughout the kingdom.
Their territory was the feudal fiefs of which king of Western France had been the suzerain since the 843 division of the Carolingian Empire.
The gradual integration of the feudal fiefs into the royal domain required the establishment of a royal administration.
Louis IX attached the main importance to its role as justiciary.
The parlement, the high court of justice, was put in place.
The Hundred Years' War allowed Charles VII to establish an army and permanent taxes.
Richelieu and Louis XIV strengthened the royal authority in the provinces by bringing the local governors of the nobility under their stewardship and by delegating to them stewards appointed by the king.
The tendency of royalty to exercise more and more absolute power could be challenged in times of turmoil, civil wars and the reigns of minor kings.
The dispute took a more pronounced character on the occasion of the diffusion of the philosophy of enlightenment and of the values that it carried: government of reason, separation of powers, individual liberties.
The French Revolution led to the establishment of a French constitutional monarchy.
However, the different formulas experienced failure in 1792, 1830 and 1848, which ended the French monarchy.

MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) is a technology which allows an antenna or multiple antennas to communicate with multiple devices, which minimizes errors and maximize efficiency.
The most commonly used MIMO variant is MU-MIMO, which stands for Multiple User-Multiple Input, Multiple Output.
In layman's terms, imagine a classroom with one teacher and many students who need help.
Since there is only one teacher, it will take the teacher a while to fully help all the students.
But if there are multiple teachers, students will get help much faster and better.
The same way, a router with MU-MIMO technology will be able to communicate with multiple devices with increased speed and minimal errors.
Wi-Fi, LTE; Long Term Evolution, and many other radio, wireless and RF technologies are using the new MIMO wireless technology to provide increased link capacity and spectral efficiency combined with improved link reliability using what were previously seen as interference paths.
Two researchers: Arogyaswami Paulraj and Thomas Kailath were first to propose the use of spatial multiplexing using MIMO in 1993 and in the following year their US patent was granted.

Anecdotally CBD is being used with claimed positive results by patients for almost every illness.
CBD, unlike Δ9-THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol), is a non psycho-active compound of cannabis.
Its use and popularity as an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs is growing worldwide despite difficulties, ambiguities and, in some cases, contradictory legal status in some states and countries.
In the USA the consumption of CBD hemp oil is federally legal, since CBD hemp oil falls under the same importation and commerce laws as other hemp products.
Some US states have not enacted legislation specifically relating to CBD hemp oil and continue to use high THC cannabis laws to govern the status of CBD.
At the same time many states have legislated to legalize or decriminalize cannabis.
Most states have detailed information relating to the legal status of recreational cannabis, CBD, and what is increasingly referred to as 'medicinal cannabis'.
up-to-date state specific info can be seen at Legal history of cannabis in the United States (in Notes).
In 1939 Irishman William Brooke O'Shaughnessy introduced cannabis extract to American pharmacies and thus began it's popularity as a remedy.
A wide range of cannabis extracts became freely available and could be gotten from travelling doctors, 'snake oil salesmen', and apothecaries across America and Europe.
The general lack of controls and regulation at the time lead to some deaths and injuries linked back to supposed cannabis extracts.
Unscrupulous makers produced formulations that were of questionable quality for quick profits and some cases the ingredients were toxic or poisonous.
This unfortunate practice was widespread across the profitable field of medicine and remedies.
As result, in 1906, The Pure Food and Drug Act was passed by the United States Congress.
It required that certain special drugs, including cannabis extracts, be properly and correctly labeled with contents.
Prior to this many drugs were marketed as 'patented' medicines with 'secret ingredients'.
The new regulations, however, did nothing to stem criticism about the availability of narcotics in particular and around 1910 there was a new round of legislation aimed to strengthen requirements for their sale and remove 'loopholes' in poison laws.
The 1910 revisions were designed to restrict all narcotics, including cannabis, as poisons therefore requiring a doctors prescription and limiting sales to pharmacies only.
The first instance of the 1906 Act was enacted by the District of Columbia in the same year as 'An act to regulate the practice of pharmacy and the sale of poisons in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes'.
The act was again updated in 1938 to the Federal Pure Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act of 1938 which is still current as of the early 21st century.
To date, marijuana remains under this law defined as a "dangerous drug".
Evidence suggests that hemp and cannabis may have been farmed for up to 12,000 years and had many uses including the making of cloth, rope, paper, food, and medicine.
However, in the modern context, it was not until its introduction to American pharmacies by William Brooke O'Shaughnessy in 1839 that Cannabis extracts came into mainstream awareness as a medicine.
A wide range of cannabis extracts became easily available and could be gotten from travelling doctors and salesmen, doctors, and drugstores throughout America.
This ended the introduction of the Pure Food and Drug Act.
Similar products were also available across Europe.
Uses of CBD
In the early decades of the 21st century, CBD is again becoming well known for its qualities as a remedy for health problems.
Its world-wide popularity is ahead of the slow process of making it legal to produce, supply, buy, and use cannabis for enjoyment in non-medical settings, and especially when it comes to CBD, which doesn't have a psycho-active component.
There is some experience that CBD has a positive effect in managing and treating chronic pain, PTSD, anxiety, anxiety disorder, depression, diabetes type 1, diabetes type 2, seizures, and also combined with allopathic approaches to diseases including chemotherapy and radiation therapy for treating cancer.
No toxic dose for CBD is known, and there is no record from any source of a death or serious injury from CBD as of this writing.
CBD may be useful either as treatment for a specific illness or in a smaller dose for maintenance of good health.
Usually, CBD is taken by mouth as oil drops or a powder that dissolves in water, or made into a food to be eaten.
Another form of CBD is used on the skin as the oil or a cream to rub in.
CBD is popularly taken in the 'vape' method (from the word "vapor"), with the CBD is heated so it can be inhaled.
This method is favoured because the effect is felt sooner than by other means.
Patients who need long-lasting relief from pain or other symptoms such as nausea, may combine two methods: for example, first vape and then eat a food made with CBD.

The Yongle Emperor (May 2, 1360– August 12, 1424), known in China as , was the 3rd emperor of the Ming part of China's history.
He was the emperor of China from 1402 to 1424.
He is important because he moved China's capital to Beijing, built its Forbidden City, and sent Zheng He on trips to Indonesia, India, Arabia, and eastern Africa.
The Yongle Emperor's real name was .
His given name was Di and his family were the Zhus, but Chinese people write their family names first.
His name means "Japanese cherry", but in Chinese that bush or tree isn't thought of as Japanese.
Zhu Di started his era the year after he took Yingtian (now Nanjing) from his nephew the Jianwen Emperor in 1402.
He said this was the 1st year of the "Era of Eternal Happiness", which sounds like Yǒnglè and is written  in traditional Chinese writing and  in the easier writing now used by the PRC.
He only had this one era when he was emperor, so people also called him the "Emperor of the Yongle Era" or Yǒnglèdì ( or ).
After he died, the next emperors gave him a new, long, and very polite name and called him Míng Chéngzǔ (), the "Most Successful Dead Family Member" of the Ming.
They usually just call him by his everyday name Zhu Di like a common person.
In English, it's more common to talk about him as the Yongle Emperor.
Zhu Di was born on May 2, 1360, during the Yuan part of China's history.
His father Zhu Yuanzhang was a successful leader of the Red Turbans fighting the Yuan army to change China.
People don't agree about who his mother was.
In the histories written by the later Chinese governments, his mother was the Empress Ma, his father's most important wife.
Other people—especially people who did not like Zhu Di—said that his mother was one of Zhu Yuanzhang's live-in girlfriends and wasn't even Chinese.
They said that he changed all the papers about his real mother after he got more power.
Zhu Yuanzhang won his fight with the Yuan and became the Hongwu Emperor of China in 1368.
He called his new government the Ming.
The Ming had rules about who should be the new emperor when the old emperor died.
Zhu Biao () was Zhu Yuanzhang's oldest son and people thought he would be the next emperor.
Zhu Di was only the 4th son, so people did not think he would become the next emperor.
He was still very important, though.
The Hongwu Emperor made him the leader of Beiping (today's Beijing and the area around it).
Zhu Biao died before the Hongwu Emperor.
When the emperor died, the Ming's rules said that Zhu Biao's son Zhu Yunwen () should be the new leader.
He became the Jianwen Emperor in 1398 at the age of 22.
The Jianwen Emperor's many uncles were very powerful, almost like kings.
He started to take away their power right away.
One was sent away to Yunnan, one killed himself, three were made into common people.
Zhu Di was afraid and pretended to be crazy.
The Jianwen Emperor was less afraid of him and even let Zhu Di's three sons—whom he held in Yingtian (now Nanjing) to be sure of Zhu Di's good behavior—go to Beiping (now Beijing) to visit their "sick" father before his death.
With his sons free, Zhu Di began to fight the Jianwen Emperor.
At first, he said that he really wanted to protect his nephew from the "bad helpers" who were telling the emperor to fight his own family.
After he took the capital, though, he rewrote all the government papers to pretend the Jianwen Emperor had never been the emperor.
The four years of his nephew's control were dated to the end of the Hongwu Emperor's era.
Zhu Di began his new era at the next Chinese New Year and became the Yongle Emperor.
Many people in the government of China said they did not like the Yongle Emperor and that he should not be the country's leader.
A body was shown and said to be the Jianwen Emperor's, but it was badly burnt and no one could be sure it was really him.
Some people said that the Jianwen Emperor was still alive and that he was hiding as a Buddhist monk.
All of this made the Yongle Emperor very worried and angry.
He did not stay in Yingtian or make it his capital.
He left some of the government there but moved most of it to his home in Beiping.
Because China now had a more important northern capital and a secondary southern capital, these two cities came to be known as Beijing and Nanjing.
The Yongle Emperor's new, larger home in Beijing grew into the Forbidden City.
The Yongle Emperor killed many of the angry government leaders in Nanjing.
Sometimes he killed their families.
Sometimes he killed their families, friends, and students.
Many of these troublemakers were the people who took power because of their high scores on the imperial examination.
The Yongle Emperor gave more power in his government to his eunuchs, men who had been hurt as children to stop them from being able to have children of their own.
One of these men was Zheng He, an Islamic leader who led great treasure ships south from Suzhou and Nanjing in 7 big trips between 1405 and 1433.

The mountain weasel (Mustela altaica), is a type of weasel.
It is also called the pale weasel, Altai weasel or solongoi.
Males are about 12.5–17 in (320–630 mm) long.
Males can weigh 8–12 oz (230–340 g).
Females are a little bit smaller.
They are 12–15 in (309–377 mm).
Females weigh about 4–8 oz (110–230 g).
The summer fur is gray to gray-brown fur with some light yellow.
The winter fur is more of a dark yellow with some brown.
In both seasons, the underbelly is pale yellow to creamy white.
This weasel lives in high-altitude environments, and also on rocky tundra and grassy woodlands.
This weasel rests in rock crevices, tree trunks, and abandoned burrows of other animals or the animals it previously hunted.
The home range size of this animal is currently unknown.
Geographical distribution for this species lies in parts of Asia from Kazakhstan, Tibet, and the Himalayas to Mongolia, northeastern China, southern Siberia, Korea, and also some parts of Russia.
The most common area for this species, however, is Ladakh, India.
Overall, these animals are thought to be live by themselves except when mating.
The mountain weasel breeds once a year.
Males fight for the females.
The mountain weasel usually mate in February to March, and the young are usually born in May.
The gestation period is 30–49 days.
The mountain weasel gives birth to one to eight young ones.
The young ones are blind, and their fur is not well developed.
Lactation lasts about two months.
After weaning, the young become independent but they still live with their brothers and sisters until fall.
Young are able to breed in the next season when they are just under a year old.
The mountain weasel is able to climb, run, and swim.
Their long bodies and short legs allow them to be very agile.
Mountain weasels are generally nocturnal, but may hunt during the day.
Even though they live by themselves, they communicate with each other visually and sound.
This animal has very good eye sight.
They also communicate by sound to warn off predators, to protect their territories, and when mating.
When scared, they make a loud chirring sound and excrete a very smelly odor.
Mountain weasels are carnivores.
They mainly feed on pikas and voles.
They have an important ecological role in controlling the population of the voles.
Muskrats, rabbits, ground squirrels, small birds, lizards, frogs, fish, and insects are also eaten.
Some of the threats that makes the weasel to be near-threatened include habitat change, mainly caused by human development.
Other dangers, such as traffic on roads, can reduce their population.
Overgrazing by cattle, goats, and sheep causes the prey of the weasel to decrease because their hiding spots and food are reduced.
The conservation status, according to the IUCN, is "near threatened" because it is considered to be in a significant decline.
It requires monitoring mainly because of habitat and resource loss.

The history of genetic engineering started around 12,000 BC.
At the time, humans tried to domesticate animals.
The first artificial genetic engineering occurred in 1972.
Two scientists named Herbert Norman Cohen transferred DNA then.
In 1983, the first tobacco plant was created using genetic engineering.
A gene that resisted antibiotics was introduced to the pl ant.
Officially, genetic engineering is the direct manipulation of the genome with techniques developed in the 1970s.
Without technology, genetic engineering has occurred in ancient times.
It was through domestication and artificial selection that plants and animals were engineered.
It is believed that the dog is the first domesticated animal, most likely from wolves.
