When the Panthers did not make a move for a wide out early in the 2013 NFL Draft, it sent shock waves through not only the fan base, but through football writers whom were deemed clueless after not selecting a wideout *coughKiper* cough. What these writers and fans fail to realize is the brilliance of Panthers GM David Gettleman. He restructured all the over-the-top contracts that Marty Hurney had left him with, Gettleman improved the team with key additions after coming into the position way over the cap. He added Domenik Hixon (WR NY GIants) and Tedd Ginn Jr (WR 49ers), amongst others.
While the writers, along with the fan base were skeptical to say the least to see two unproven and unpolished wideouts come in instead of using one of our high picks to bring in a new, fresh-faced receiver to fall in love with before turning on him six weeks in. Other than a LaFell drop on a fourth down against Arizona and a purrrfectly placed bomb that went through Ginns' hands; these guys are studs in their own right. Not to mention tight end Greg Olsen, who currently leads the team in receptions. Do you know who leads the team in yards and is at Olsen's heals for most receptions? Tedd Ginn Jr. The scrub no one wanted, the stone hands, the "waste of a pick". Ginn flows perfectly into Offensive Coordinator Mike Shula's scheme. One thing I can't place about these guys (LaFell in particular) is it seems they are afraid of taking a hit. Ginn seems to be okay with this, but, if you watch LaFell closely on plays where he gets the ball you'll notice he makes a B-line towards the out-of-bounds chalk rather than push it downfield for more yards, or maybe even six points. Something had him frightened. Never the less, he is a solid number two option as his route running (along with Ginn's) have improved drastically.
Speaking of catching the ball, here is an interesting stat; over the past four games Cam Newton's average pass is around six yards. During that time he has yet to turn the ball over and is completing 77% of his passes. This is vastly different than his 12-yard average attempt at the beginning of the season while garnering nowhere near a respectable completion percentage.
Which leads me to the other under the radar receivers; the checkdown guys. So far it has been running back Deangelo Willliams and half man/ half bowling ball Mike Tolbert. What helps the checkdown out is the traditional receivers clearing the middle of the field to let our backs get into the flat which, in turn, helps us sustain long drives that has us second in the league in time of possession. Now to the legend, Steve Smith. Numbers wise it seems he isn't as active as last year. 89 is drawing the attention of the opposing teams top defensive backs. For example, in man-to-man Smith draws the opposing teams' best corner and at least a pair of eyes from a safety. In zone coverage it appears the defenders are more concerned with passing Smith from zone to zone and they neglect the small pockets where Ginn and/or LaFell can sit and pick up an easy fifteen yards. However, a lot of times this coverage has proven insignificant and Smith rips their coverage scheme to shreads. See Rams corner, Janoris Jenkins.
The bottom line is that if you only game plan for Cam, the backfield, and Smith - You're going to be down two touchdowns at halftime. Look both ways before crossing the street, the Panthers are on the prowl.

UK General Election 2019: What you need to know
The UK will head to the polls in a general election on December 12

On Tuesday evening (October 29), MPs overwhelmingly backed Boris Johnson's call for a general election, meaning Britain will now head to the polls in December.
The Prime Minister called the election in a bid to break what he called the Brexit "impasse", where the issue of leaving the European Union seems incapable of resolving itself.
One thing that's certain is this will be one of the most lively and dramatic general elections in recent history, with plenty at stake.
So we decided to give you the lowdown on all you need to know, and how a general election will play out in our city.
UK set for pre-Christmas General Election on December 12
When will the election be held?
The General Election will be held on Thursday December 12 - the first December election since 1923.
Parties tend to want to avoid winter elections because the cold and dark weather is seen as a deterrent to campaigning and voter turnout, which already suffers from low turnout.
Why has it been called?
The Prime Minister called the General Election after MPs voted down his proposed timetable to pass his Brexit bill in parliament in just three days.
Mr Johnson believes a general election is the only way to solve Brexit. At every given opportunity, he says they have voted for "dither and delay".
"There is only one way to restore the esteem in which our democracy is held and to recover the respect in which parliament should be held by the people of this country, and that is, finally, to offer ourselves to the judgment of the people of this country, " he said.

The Labour party had been resisting an election for months on the grounds that until the EU granted the Brexit extension, there remained the threat of a no-deal Brexit.
However, following the EU's decision to grant the EU a further Brexit delay until 31 January, Jeremy Corbyn and most of his MPs got behind the move, with the Labour leader saying the election offered a "once-in-a-generation chance to transform our country and take on the vested interests holding people back".
"We will now launch the most ambitious and radical campaign for real change that our country has ever seen," he added.
What will happen to parliament?
Parliament will dissolve on Wednesday November 6 so MPs can leave Westminster and campaign in their constituencies. By protocol, parliament always dissolves 25 days before a general election.
What are the main parties' position on Brexit?
Brexit will undoubtedly feature heavily in this election, given the fact the UK still hasn't left the EU despite three years passing since the 2016 referendum.
Labour - Labour's policy on Brexit has attracted criticism over the past few years, as the party tried to adopt a position of "constructive ambiguity" about leaving the EU - ie, forming a policy which both respected the result of the referendum but did not totally alienate Remainers.
However, as the Brexit crisis has deepened, positions have hardened.
The Labour frontbench used to be ardently opposed to a second referendum but this is now its policy. It says it will put forward a "credible" Leave deal - which would include staying in a customs union and close alignment to the single market - alongside the option to remain in the EU.

In the event the party won the election, it would renegotiate a new deal with the EU along these lines, hold a second referendum shortly after and decide which way to campaign at a special conference.
In Bristol, where the Remain vote is strong, expect to see all four Labour MPs campaigning on a ticket of a second referendum with the aim of staying in the EU.
Conservatives - The Tories will take Boris Johnson's Brexit deal to the nation and hope to persuade them to back it.
It will campaign on the slogan of "Get Brexit done" and will fight a "People vs Parliament' election, in which it will argue a House of Commons stuffed with Remainers has caused this mess and now needs shafting out.
Greens - The Green party will campaign for a second referendum and has argued the UK should remain in the EU.

Liberal Democrats - The Lib Dems previously argued there should be a second referendum but changed their policy to cancelling Brexit altogether by revoking article 50, the mechanism which allows Britain to leave the EU.
Brexit party - The Brexit party disliked Theresa May's Brexit deal and it dislikes Boris Johnson's deal too. It has said the UK should have a "clean break" from the EU, by which it means the UK should leave the bloc without a deal and on trading terms set by the World Trade Organisation.
What are the key issues we will hear on the campaign trail in Bristol?
Brexit will be a huge factor in this election, as all four constituencies in Bristol voted heavily to remain in the EU.
The South West is a target area for the so-called Remain Alliance, where anti-Brexit parties band together to maximise the vote. For example, the Green party could choose not to field a candidate in some of the Tory marginal seats in this area to give the Lib Dems a greater chance of winning it.
Other issues include transport North Somerset MP Liam Fox recently pressed the government to keep its promise to help fund the reopening of the Portishead railway line, while other issues include poor buses, the proposed Western Harbour development and a new 'circle line' bus route proposed by Bristol mayor Marvin Rees.
Clean Air is also a hot topic in Bristol, which suffers from particularly high levels of nitrogen dioxide. Bristol council's cabinet is due to debate a proposed ban on all diesel vehicles in certain areas of Bristol for eight hours a day.
Waste management firms have been causing a stink in Bristol North West. Avonmouth hosts a high number of these firms, which have been accused of improperly storing waste.

The NHS and its funding is a national issue that will feature heavily in the election.
Hospitals across the Bristol area are currently on their highest level of alert as winter pressures start to bite and levels of demand lead to some operations being cancelled as staff try to manage workloads.
Bristol residents will need to ensure they are registered to vote by Monday 25 November. You can do this online here: https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote
If you are going to be away, you can vote by proxy or by postal vote. If you are a student you can vote either at your home address or term time address. You can contact your local Electoral Office with any issues.
Polling stations open at 7am and close at 10pm.
When will the result be declared?
The result of the general election will be declared on Friday December 13.

Although most of the countries in the European Union now use the Euro as their currency, Croatia – who joined the EU as recently as 2013 – still uses the Croatian kuna.
The kuna was first introduced on May 30, 1994.
In Croatian a Kuna is an indigenous weasel-like animal (English: marten), whose pelt Croats used as payment in medieval times.
The word Lipa means linden tree.
One kuna is divided into 100 lipas.
Wherever prices are listed in Croatia the word Kuna is abbreviated simply to kn.
What does Croatian money look like?
On the 5 kuna coin there's a picture of a bear, and you'll sometimes hear a Croatian ask for a 5 kuna coin by saying Imaš medu? (Do you have a bear?).
Higher kuna denominations (e.g. 10kn, 20kn, 50kn, 100kn) are banknotes which feature portraits of famous Croatians.
The design of the banknotes resembles closely the final generation of Deutschmarks.
Lipa denominations (e.g. less than 1kn) are copper coins with pictures of indigenous Croatian plants and flowers.
A poll in April 2015 revealed that just over half of Croatians are in favour of a move to the central EU currency. There is currently no fixed timetable for introducing the Euro in Croatia.
In the mean time ... in certain cases it's already possible to pay by Euro with smaller, privately run businesses (e.g. family-run restaurants, souvenir shops, private accommodation).
But for all other official transactions (e.g. transport, hotels, car rentals), you'll have to pay in kuna!
Do you know the following useful words and phrases?
Mogu li platiti u eurima? – Can I pay in Euros?
Gdje je mjenjačnica? – Where's the Bureaux de Change?
Mogu li promijeniti novac? – Can I change some money?
Koliko košta ... ? – How much does ... cost?

Update: DICE updated the original blog post mentioning that the information it included was outdated, and Grand Operations will actually be available at launch. So it looks as though players will have to wait just a tad bit longer in order to play the new Grand Operations mode in the upcoming Battlefield game.
Multiple leaks and rumors have already given us an idea of what to expect from the Galaxy Note 9 . Rest assured, both the variants will offer the same level of performance and would set a new benchmark in performance among Android phones.
The new sensor should also improve images on smartphones that use digital zoom rather than optical zoom. Sony is labelling the new unit "compact" - it measures up at 8millimetres diagonally, meaning phones that adopt it should not have to carry a huge camera bump.
Xiaomi Mi 5X was rebranded as Mi A1 , while Mi A2 is the global variant of Mi 6X , which made its debut in China in May. The Mi A2 boasts a metal unibody design and an edge-to-edge display with small but observable top and bottom bezels.
The tech giant started an email service that offered users an @facebook.com address, in November 2010. For some people, who noticed that their block list had gotten shorter without their doing or knowledge, it would have been an unsettling notion that these blocked people now had access to their lives again.
A Google spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that there's an issue affecting "some" of its customers of these platforms, and it's now investigating the issue and working on a solution. "OK Google, start working again". Google is acknowledging the issue, confirming the problems to TechCrunch , but isn't getting specific at this stage.
Facebook-owned Instagram announced a new addition to its photo-sharing app on Wednesday: the ability to share long-form 4K videos a la YouTube . Instagram said it has signed up internet stars for IGTV , including Lele Pons , who has 25 million followers. There are also channels, and celebrities themselves can be channels.
The hybrid console "succeeds as both a home game system and a gaming handheld, offering a new flexibility in how you play", we wrote. While the content will be featured on Disney Channel, Disney XD and on the DisneyNOW app, it is a one-time only contest, not a new series.
This partnership seemed to have expanded even further this year a version of Google Maps Beta was found to be able to create an Uber account directly. This means that users who previously used Google Maps to book Uber rides will now need to use the standalone Uber app for Android to continue using the platform.
During its presentation, a 30-second tease for the Nintendo Switch exclusive Octopath Traveler was shown. Square Enix announced Left Alive during Sony Interactive Entertainment's pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference in September 2017, according to Polygon .
Microsoft showed off a new world for Kingdom Hearts III during its Electronic Entertainment Expo event today in Los Angeles. The latest release of information was this past May when several press outlets were invited to play a demo of the game and Square Enix announced they would reveal the release date in early June.
Owners of the PlayStation 4 Pro can also enjoy the game in 2D dimensions in 4k at 60fps. Being created by Tetsuya Mizuguchi and the team behind Lumines and Rez Infinite , I don't know how to explain this game, besides telling you to watch that trailer and try to piece it together for yourself.
Along with a reminder to tune in for today's livestream , the tweet included an embedded video preview showing the loveable Exo Hunter Cayde-6 (voiced with aplomb by renowned actor Nathan Fillion) along with a second Guardian (assumedly the player's Guardian).
Don't worry if you missed out on watching Apple's big show on Monday though, because we've got you covered. Apple is making a new AR (open) file format with Pixar called USDZ that's optimized for size, and can be shared via email, Apple News, or simply iMessage.
A new Pride watch face discovered in watchOS 4 .3.1 is also being unlocked today, using a series of animated strings to create a rainbow on the Apple Watch screen. The Walkie-Talkie feature will send a vibration through to the other person's wrist and then play your message, much like a normal walkie talkie would in real life.
The deal would be quite favorable for Microsoft , as the software giant has been actively seeking developers . GitHub is described as the world's leading software development platform, and it now served over 28 million developers worldwide.


"The Harappans are referred to as a Bronze Age culture," writes Vasant Shinde, "and they used copper and bronze to manufacture axes, adzes, knives, fish hooks, chisels, pots and pans and jewelry in form of bangles, beads, or diadem strips. The Harappans seem to have preferred pure copper, which was manufactured into objects by beating the metal sheets into the required shape. Copper alloying was a common aspect of metallurgy with contemporaneous civilizations, but only 30% of the 177 copper artifacts from Harappa and Mohenjo Daro demonstrated tin, arsenic, nickel or lead alloying, of which tin is the most common. The amount of tin has ranged from 1 to 12% in the bronze artifacts studied. Besides copper, the Harappans worked with gold, silver and lead.
"Copper artifacts are found at larger and more economically developed settlements. A few copper vessels and beads have been found in hoards but, unlike other metal objects, especially gold and silver, more than 75% of copper artifacts, ornaments, and vessels have been found in nonhoard contexts, including burials. The items are relatively scarce, though, indicating that copper was not in popular use either because of limited availability or perhaps because these rare items served as symbols of wealth and status. As such, it may be that copper was passed down from one generation to another, and recycled, as is the case today in the region (Agarwal, 2007). Despite the advanced manufacturing techniques, and the largely decorative utility of many objects, elaborate ornamental aspects are not a common feature on these items; their simple and modest style may reflect a value central to Harappan ideology."
Vasant Shinde, Current Perspectives on the Harappan Civilization, in A Companion to South Asia in the Past, p. 132.
1. Copper and bronze plates like this from Mohenjo-daro were probably used exclusively by wealthy upper class city dwellers.
2. Copper tablet (H2000-4498/9889-01) with raised script found in Trench 43.
3. Ledged cooking vessel with high neck and flaring rim, Mohenjo-daro. This metal vessel is almost identical to many terra cotta cooking vessels and was probably intended for a very wealthy family. It was made by hammering a sheet of copper and raising the hollow base and rim separately. The two pieces were joined together with cold hammering at the ledge. This vessel contained a hoard of copper weapons and tools.
4. Copper knives with bone handles found at Gola Dhoro.
5. Indus Valley copper artifacts found at Gola Dhoro.

Divisions of the Department of Medicine
Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine
Division Research
History of the Division
Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine Fellowship
The Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Division offers ongoing clinical trial therapies for asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, sarcoidosis, and other conditions. Our team has a long history of involvement in NIH-funded multicenter trials as we aim to continually provide patients improved treatment options. Ongoing trials include:
Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial: Funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), this study aimed to determine whether cancer screening tests help to reduce deaths from these four types of cancer. The PLCO trial opened in 1992 and patient enrollment of 155,000 men and women across the U.S. ended in 2001, screening tests were completed in 2006, and patient follow-up will continue through 2016 to determine cancer screening benefits.
Long-term Oxygen Treatment Trial (LOTT): This 6-year NIH study examined the effects of home oxygen therapy for patients with COPD and was completed in 2013; data analysis is ongoing.
Subpopulations and Intermediate Outcome Measures In COPD Study (SPIROMICS): This NIH trial aims to validate specific biological and clinical outcomes for patients with COPD.
Pulmonary research studies
Our Division has held a key role in many critical research studies:
Nocturnal Oxygen Therapy Trial (NOTT), Principal Investigators: Drs. Paul Kvale and William Conway
NOTT showed that long-term oxygen therapy improved survival in COPD patients with stable arterial PO2
Lung Health I, Principal Investigators: Drs. William Conway and Michael Eichenhorn
The first study aimed to determine the effects of special care compared to usual care on the rate of decline in pulmonary function in a group of cigarette smokers identified as having mild abnormalities in pulmonary function.
Lung Health II, Principal Investigator: Dr. Michael Eichenhorn
The second study aimed to determine if COPD participants assigned to inhaled corticosteroids had a lower rate of decline in lung function and lower incidence of respiratory morbidity compared to participants assigned to placebo.
Lung Health III (1998 onward), Principal Investigator: Dr. Michael Eichenhorn
Survivors of the Lung Health II were invited into Lung Health III to determine the long-term effects of smoking cessation versus continued smoking on cardiopulmonary morbidity, mortality, and the rate of decline in FEV1 in men and women with early chronic obstructive lung disease who have been followed prospectively for 12 to 15 years.
Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis (PIOPED), Principal Investigators: Drs. John Popovich, Jr., and Kenneth Leeper.
This multicenter study provided comprehensive criteria for ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) lung scan use in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with suspected PE.
PIOPED II, Principal Investigators: Drs. John Popovich, Jr., and John Buckley.
The second study aimed to determine if spiral CT is the best test for suspected PE.
National Lung Screening Trial (NLST): This NCI study compared two ways of detecting lung cancer, by spiral computed tomography (CT) or standard chest x-ray. The trial enrolled 53,000 patients by 2004 and completed participant surveys in 2010.
Understanding Potential Long-term Impacts on Function with Tiotropium (UPLIFT): This pharmaceutical-funded study examined the role of tiotropium, an anti-cholinergic medication, on morbidity and mortality of patients with COPD.

In a sharded cluster, which of the following can keep large chunks from being split as part of MongoDB's balancing process? Check all that apply.

Note: This question applies to MongoDB 3.0. Do not have the model of config servers as replica sets (CSRS) in mind when answering this question.

Check all that apply:
 - Frequent restarts of all mongos processes relative to the frequency of writes
 - If there are not enough distinct shard key values
 - If one of the config servers is down when a mongos tries to do a split
 - If the average size of the documents in the chunk is too small
 - If the number of shards in the cluster is too small
