Q: Generating unique numbers that pass Luhn algorithm verification I am trying to generate unique numbers that can be verified with Luhn algorithm. The aim is to provide account numbers, so to speak, for all members on a p2p lending platform. I've been looking into luhn algorithm and a couple of other check digit algorithms, but all the information I get is on verifying numbers with these algorithms but I'm looking for pointers on actually generating those numbers which will pass this check digit algorithm. I'm using PHP for the project.
Any pointers or recommendation is greatly appreciated.

A: The Luhn algorithm generates an additional checksum digit for an arbitrary number. That means that you can turn any number with n digits into a Luhn-compatible number with n + 1 digits.
The Wikipedia article on the Luhn algorithm explains how to generate such a check digit: Set the rightmost digit, the check digit, to zero. Work from right to left and add the digits. Alternate between the digit itself and the digitsum of two times the digit. Now determine the check digit so that the whole sum's last digit is zero.
If you have a unique number you can make it Luhn compatible with:
function luhnify($number) {
    $sum = 0;               // Luhn checksum w/o last digit
    $even = true;           // Start with an even digit
    $n = $number;

    // Lookup table for the digitsums of 2*$i
    $evendig = array(0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9);

    while ($n > 0) {
        $d = $n % 10;
        $sum += ($even) ? $evendig[$d] : $d;

        $even = !$even;
        $n = ($n - $d) / 10;
    }

    $sum = 9*$sum % 10;

    return 10 * $number + $sum;
}

This code uses a number as input. Take care not to overflow the allowable range of numbers, because the Luhnified number will be 10 times as large as the original number.
A better solution would be to use a string of digits, but I'm not really familiar with PHP, so I've chosen the easier way with numbers.

An abscess is a collection of pus surrounded by a wall of tissue. An abscess happens when the body tries to control infection. It causes a painful lump and can make you feel unwell.
You can get an abscess anywhere in the body.
What are the benefits of drainage surgery?
You should no longer have the abscess. Surgery should prevent you from having serious complications that an abscess can cause.
A small abscess can be drained under a local anaesthetic but most need a general anaesthetic. The operation usually takes between ten and twenty minutes.
Your surgeon will make a cut in the skin over the abscess. Once the pus has been removed, the cavity needs to heal upwards from its floor so the opening in the skin is left open. If the cavity is deep, your surgeon will place an antiseptic dressing in it.
Your doctor will tell you when you can return to work depending on the extent of surgery and your type of work.
An abscess is a collection of pus that can make you feel unwell. Surgery should prevent you from having serious complications that an abscess can cause.
The costs of this procedure are covered by most medical insurance policies, but please check with your insurer first. If you are paying for your own procedure the cost will be explained and confirmed in writing when you book the procedure. Ask the hospital for a quote beforehand, and ensure that this includes the surgeon's fee, the anaesthetist's fee and the hospital charge for your procedure.

If you are looking for and winning a high risk merchant account, merchants are hanging by the thread merely because that there is no concise information to why high volume merchant account providers reject most of the applications. Merchants need a way in accepting credit cards online and there is no other way to accomplished than signing up for such accounts. It is either they are too lazy, or they don't provide a standard client care for these kinds of services. When a merchant has submitted an application, the merchant account provider will discuss the small print like the merchant cannot receive payment for almost several months or the merchant is not approved due to their marketing plan. The worst case is the merchant by no means approved, and they generate losses even before they earn it. Another annoying thing about high risk merchant application is that due to the fiscal merchant account providers is going to take a very long time before it gets recommended. This is because the provider assess the business first and checks the rate of fraud or track backs that can take place in the high risk seller. Also, you spend more fees compared to day-to-day merchant account.
However, it is less than late to try. When you really need a way in accepting credit cards, you posess zero choice but to have a high risk account. A person decide to try one, let me give you some quick tips to get you approved in a high volume merchant account. First consider that when you are selling an offshore services, your high risk account application is likely to be declined than accepted discovering which class so many offshore scam services online. Next is actually check your credit rating, your credit rating will determine if your account possibly be approved or not. An inferior credit rating is simply an indication of in its full advantage account automatically rejected. You don't need to open your own bank account because it will be transferred directly in your bank. Most high risk merchant gets accepted because they have a minimum monthly credit card sales volume ranging from $10,000 close to $50 million. During the processing of your high volume merchant account, you will probably to be checked in the following: personal credit for this owner, business lifespan, business profile, monthly processing volume, fraud or charge backs history, processing history. And here are some stuff you should know during the application: Some require minimal volume caps some don't; You can choose person international bank; the merchant listed as terminal CBD merchant account uk file will still have a chance to get approved but only if they are not involved in any kinds of fraud in your benutzerkonto. Once the account is approved, you can start accepting credit cards in a matter of weeks, or as soon as the terminal software has been set in mid-air.
Start remembering these conditions before you start trying for a high volume merchant card account and I guarantee your opportunity of approval.

Element 2 and Electra Commercial Vehicles agree exclusive working partnership
May 24, 2022 May 24, 2022 Ann Marie KnegtAir Quality, Electric & Hybrid Vehicles, Emissions, Events, Fleet Management, Fleet Vision International, Fuel, Haulage & Logistics, hydrogen, OEMs, Recent News, WCRAQ
Element 2, the UK's leading hydrogen refuelling business, has signed an exclusive partnership agreement with zero-emission vehicle provider Electra Commercial Vehicles to provide a supply of hydrogen gas and the associated refuelling infrastructure to Electra and its Fuel Cell vehicle customers.
In addition to offering a full turnkey solution for hydrogen supply, Element 2 will also provide technical and logistical support to both Electra, and its current and prospective clients, as they plan and/or scope out hydrogen refuelling solutions. While the letter of intent ("LOI") covers Electra's operations in the UK and Ireland initially, it may be extended to other geographic regions as and when Electra expands in the future.
Removing barriers to entry
Sid Sadique, Chairman, Electra Commercial Vehicles, added: 'The strategic partnership with Element 2 enables Electra to supply clean hydrogen to any site in the UK, removing barriers to entry and helping our clients transition to zero-emission Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles. We are excited to partner with Element 2. Together, we are the first in the UK to deliver a complete and holistic hydrogen transport solution.'
Important step towards decarbonisation
Tim Harper, Chief Executive Officer, Element 2, said: 'The partnership announcement marks an important step towards decarbonising the UK's road transport with hydrogen, as we blend our supply and refuelling expertise with Electra's market-leading vehicles. Our collaboration is designed to grow and develop the British hydrogen market further and faster, and we firmly believe that only by working together can we reach those vital net-zero targets.'
Flourishing hydrogen economy
Brendan Bilton, Chief Technology Officer, Element 2, added: 'Establishing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with vehicle manufacturers is a critical part of our business model; therefore, we are delighted to be partnering with such a marque firm as Electra. We're looking forward to working together to build a flourishing hydrogen economy in the UK and Ireland, to realise our vision of making diesel history.'
In March of this year, Element 2 completed the UK's first hydrogen refuelling of a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) – the first of its kind in the UK – built by Electra. Until that time, only waste collection vehicles, cars and buses had been refuelled with hydrogen.
Element 2 is building the UK's first network of hydrogen refuelling stations to enable the rapid transition of heavy road vehicles and municipal fleets to a zero-carbon, zero-emissions future.

Puerile Chemistry – or "What the boys get up to in the lab"
Apr 25, 2014 by Robert
If you're easily offended then this article might not be for you. However it does prove that British Chemists do have a sense of humour … well a puerile one at least.
Bare with me here as we do a bit of an in-depth explanation of some of the naming conventions chemists have come up with.
Example of some Heterocyclic componds
Heterocyclic compounds are molecules made up of atoms arranged in a ring, usually of carbon and hydrogen, along with another atom of a different element. There are many different heterocyclic compounds, with different numbers of atoms making up the ring structure and a variety of elements supplying the other atom. They all have unique chemical formulae, such as C5H5N or C4H8O2, but it's often more convenient to refer to molecules by name. As you can imagin there are many existing variations of this particular type of molecule as well as the possibility of synthesizing new ones, and in the 1880s two chemists, named Arthur Hantzsch and Oskar Widman, independently came up with a system for determining a unique name for each compound based on the number of atoms in the ring and the nature of the other element that is present.
The Funny Bit…
The Hantszch-Widman nomenclature, as it was called, failed to take account of the puerile sense of humour of British chemists. For almost every heterocyclic compound, the system pro duced a perfectly unexceptionable name that was memorable without being indecent. But a problem arises when the element supplying the extra atom is arsenic.
The word Arsenic is derived from an Arabic word, al-zarnikh, and Professors Hantszch and Widman decided that all heterocyclic compounds using arsenic should begin with 'ars'. (Other elements gave rise to prefixes like 'fluor' for fluorine and 'iod' for iodine and so on.) So far so good. But they then decided that, depending on the ring size, there should be a series of suffixes, such as 'irine', 'ete', 'ole', 'inine' and 'epine'. So unfortunately there was no way to avoid a compound based on an atom of arsenic plus a size-5 ring being called 'arsole'. This is a genuine molecule.
What causes even more schoolboy sniggering is that you can read more about it in a Paper by two Swedish scientists which begins: "The aromaticity of arsoles has been debated in the literature for years.. ."
Just to eound things offif you were to the synthesise arsole and a 6-benzene ring you would get a compound called 'sexibenzarsole'.

"E.R.A.P. and How It Grew," by Richie Rothstein
New Left and Anti-Poverty Movement
This SDS pamphlet details the history and aims of its Economic Research and Action Project (E.R.A.P.), a program that tried to organize the urban white unemployed youths in several northern cities during the mid-1960s. ERAP got started in Chicago with the help of a $5000 grant from the United Auto Workers. Though this "into the ghetto" move was a practical failure for the organization, it drew many young idealists to SDS and provided critical early organizing experience. As the War in Vietnam accelerated, it overtook ERAP activism within SDS.

Durham Police are urging victims of domestic abuse to come forward, with an increase in reported cases at this time of year.
As Christmas approaches, a range of agencies in County Durham including the Police, Public Health and local councils are launching a new campaign to raise awareness about domestic abuse.
'Sorry's not enough - there is no excuse for abuse' campaign has been launched as Christmas approaches as in the past there has been increases in reporting at this time of year.
The campaign was developed as part of ongoing multiagency working and the Police and Crime Commissioner Ron Hogg's Regional violence against women and girls strategy.
As part of the campaign a dedicated website has been set up and posters will be appearing at key locations across the force area. The posters will depict images of different victims in the hope of showing that this abuse really can affect anyone.
Promotional items like pens and notepads have also been produced with the campaign branding.
"As well as raising awareness, the aim of the campaign is to encourage victims to get the help they need and to warn abusers that domestic abuse will not be tolerated."
"I can't stress enough that tackling domestic abuse is everyone's business."
"There were 14,500 domestic abuse calls made to us last year, which is about 40 calls every day."
"Domestic abuse accounts for 8% of all crime in County Durham and Darlington and 40% of violent crime reported to us was domestic abuse."
"This is staggering, and although Durham was only one of a few forces that received a positive inspection from HMIC around how we work with a range of agencies to investigate domestic abuse we are determined to continue to work hard together to eradicate domestic abuse across Durham and Darlington."
"Whether it's happening to you, a friend, a colleague or a member of your family we want you to take action."
"This campaign is ultimately a call for action to ask everyone to play their part in tackling this crime by ensuring they are aware of it. As a society we should not tolerate this type of criminality and be committed to working together to tackle it."


Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) and HSBC have entered into a five-year partnership which sees the bank become title sponsor of Abu Dhabi's flagship PGA European Tour event, marking the first title sponsorship of an Abu Dhabi sporting event by an international company.
"This partnership ushers in a new era for the championship and golf in Abu Dhabi," said His Highness Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman, ADTA. "It is in many ways a coming of age for the championship and for Abu Dhabi's ambitions as a credible golfing destination.
"This is a coming together of two organisations which share considerable synergies. Both have a diverse and inclusive culture and an uncompromising commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices taking responsibility for the social and environmental impact of their operations. Both also have an abiding commitment to community engagement. It is a meeting of minds in which we see a world of potential."
The new Abu Dhabi partnership builds on HSBC's burgeoning portfolio of international golfing tournament sponsorships. The Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship is the bank's first golfing title partnership in the Middle East.
"In the ADTA and HSBC we have two wonderful supporters of world golf who are both very forward thinking in their implementation making their tournaments stand out above the rest. I think they will be an amazing combination," said Casey.
HSBC's marketing platform of 'Championing Golf Worldwide' now includes junior, amateur and professional programs in more than 25 countries including the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai and the HSBC Women's Champions in Singapore.
"ADTA has been very generous in welcoming us as the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship's title sponsor. Golf is a very important part of HSBC's marketing programme and the Middle East is a key region to the bank's business. We have seen significant growth of our business and brand through our global golf sponsorship programme in recent years and we feel ADTA has established a top-tier event of the highest quality that fits extremely well with our brand," said Simon Cooper, Deputy Chairman and CEO, Middle East and North Africa, HSBC.
Looking to attract the championship's biggest ever spectator turnout, ADTA has promised a substantially expanded championship village with more attractions, restaurants, cafes and competitions.
"Our determination to build both the championship's playing field and the spectator offering is a clear signal of our intention to consolidate Abu Dhabi's mounting credentials as a golfing and leisure destination of distinction," said His Excellency Mubarak Al Muhairi, ADTA's Director General and Chairman of the Championship Committee.
"The tie-up with HSBC will also take news of the championship to the bank's impressive network of 8,000 offices in 87 countries, 220,000 shareholders in 119 countries and over 110 million customers worldwide - a compelling reach."
George O'Grady CBE, the Tour's Chief Executive, said: "This championship has quickly established itself as an extremely popular event on The European Tour international schedule, with our members continuing to enjoy outstanding hospitality and a superb, challenging golf course. HSBC is a strong long-term partner of both the Tour and IMG, and we are delighted that it has signed a five-year agreement to title-sponsor the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. The increased prize fund of $2,700,000 in 2011 will provide a solid platform to launch a run of four exceptional weeks in the Gulf next January."
Other sponsors of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship include Etihad Airways, Al Naboodah, Emirates Palace hotel, Etisalat, Airbus, Xerox, CNN and Rolex.


Wanna Save Money on Your Mortgage?
Article Summary: "Wanna save money? Of course you do. Wanna save money on your mortgage? Wanna give it to the banks? If you budget carefully and follow the 10 steps outlined you will be saving more money than you have ever dreamed. Your mortgage will be paid off faster, less money will be earned by your bank and best of all, your bank will hate y.."
Here are 10 ways to save money on your mortgage. When purchasing your home it would be a good idea to get pre-qualified first to see how much your approved for. This will definitely put you the purchaser ahead of any one else that comes to the negotiation. If you know your approved for say $400,000 then that should be the maximum price you should be looking at when purchasing a home. With that in mind here are 10 ways to save money on your mortgage.
1. Put as much down as you can possibly afford. With mortgage rates at record lows, this can easily lead purchasers into a false sense of financial security. I know what your thinking, 'the interest payments are so low why not use other peoples money and invest the rest?' It is not that simple because those low interest rates are a financial trap set by the banking industry. Their designed to keep you in debt for the rest of your life. Just a half point increase in the interest rate can put those who are on the bubble right now over the line and into power of sale territory. Think of a mortgage as a giant chain, the more you owe, the longer the chain in which to hang yourself, financially. Instead beat the banks at their own game by putting a minimum of 10-15% down. This way you will owe less over a shorter period of time.
2. Shorten the amortization period. The shorter the amortization period the more money that can be shaved off the interest payments. In this case you will own your house faster without any help from the banks. Remember, the bank is not your friend and they can and will foreclose at the first chance they get when you default.
3. Put a balloon payment of about 10% every year on your mortgage, this will reduce the outstanding balance owed to the bank. Think of it as giving yourself a raise because the outstanding balance is being paid down.
4. Renew your mortgage every year. When interest rates fall, you can take advantage of the lower interest rate with another lender or the same lender if you choose. You probably won't pay it off in 1 year, but this ties into point #2 about a shorter amortization period. The payments will be higher yes however, at the same time your kicking more off the principle which is important. Typically in the first few years of your mortgage, the majority of your payments go to the interest and very little principle.
5. Stay with a variable rate to take advantage of lower interest rates. When interest rates do go up they usually go up about 25 to 50 basis points or 0.25 to 0.50% at a time. Usually though interest rates increase by increments of 0.25% which is still cheaper than a fixed rate.
6. Go fixed only and only if rates start rising really fast like 0.25% every 3 months or in a period of rapidly increasing inflation. Otherwise refer to point #5.
7. Shop each lender against each other and squeeze every last penny you can get. You shop for electronics this way, washer and dryers so why not shop your mortgage. It is a good idea to enlist the services of a mortgage broker as they deal with hundreds of lenders. The chances of getting a better deal through a mortgage broker is higher than if you just stayed with your bank. The mortgage broker gets a commission from the lender, so its in their best interest to get you the best deal possible.
8. Watch out for hidden fees like transfer fees, appraisal fees, administration fees which can cost you plenty in the long run. Read the mortgage contract carefully and get the lender to explain anything you don't understand. Also get the lender to waive those fees if they want your business. Remember, the lender is not your friend, just a facilitator in getting what you need: money for your house.
9. Be prepared to walk if the rate and the terms are not to your liking. Your in the driver's seat not the lender. Think of this exercise as a game of poker except you have nothing to loose.
10. Be aware of introductory offers where the lender will give you a teaser rate for say 6 months. After that the rates will be even higher than if you just went for the straight rate. The catch is you will be locked in for say 5 years. What seemed like a good rate at the time will turn out to be even higher.
• Why Chelsea Were Right in Sacking Roberto Di Matteo.


"Call £100m ri linn Brexit"
Thuirt am BPA Gàidhealach, Ceit Fhoirbeis, gum faodadh a' Ghàidhealtachd is na h-Eileanan còrr is £100m a chall ri linn mar a bhòt Breatainn airson an t-Aonadh Eòrpach fhàgail.
Bhòt sluagh na dùthcha 51.9% gu 48.1 airson tarraing a-mach às an aonadh.
Bha taic 56% gu 44% air a' Ghàidhealtachd 'son fuireach san EU, is 55.2% gu 44.8% anns na h-Eileanan an Iar.
Thuirt a' Bh.Ua. Fhoirbeis gu bheil an t-suim de £100m stèidhichte air dà mhaoin, Maoin Phrògram Eòrpach Sòisealta na h-Alba agus Prògram Leasachaidh Sgìreil Eòrpach na h-Alba.
Thuirt i gun tàinig còrr is £100m dha sgìre an Eilein Sgitheanaich, Loch Abair is Bhàideanach bhuapa eadar 2007 is 2013.
Cha robh sin a' gabhail a-steach subsadaidhean àiteachais.
Thuirt Ceit Fhorbeis gu bheil dragh oirre gum bi sgeamaichean coimhearsnachd a-nise ann an cunnart.
"Bha taic-airgid bhon EU bunaiteach airson iomadh pròiseict air a' Ghàidhealtachd is na h-Eileanan a stèidheachadh - bho thurasachd gu foghlam gu coilltearachd" , thuirt am BPA.
"Cheannaich Cal Mac aiseagan ùra air sgàth airgid Eòrpaich, is tha an UHI agus HIE air taic timcheall air £20m fhaighinn le chèile", thuirt i.
Tha a' Bh.Ua. Fhoirbeis a' cumail a-mach gu bheil tòrr phròiseictean air airgead Eòrpach a chleachdadh mar bhunait airson taic fhaighinn à àiteachan eile ann am maoineachadh co-ionnan, a' fàgail gum faodadh an t-suim gu lèir a bhith pìos math nas motha na £100m.
Thuirt i gu bheil i den bheachd gu bheil e "gun chiall" gum faodadh a' Ghàidhealtachd is na h-Eileanan taic-airgid a chall às dèidh dhaibh bhòtadh airson fuireach san EU, is gun robh muinntir na sgìre mothachail air a' bhuannachd a th' ann dhaibh a bhith san Aonadh Eòrpach.

20 crime shows you shouldn't miss in 2019
By Steve Charnock on December 26, 2018
TV has never been better. It's no longer film's lesser sibling. It's not even 'just as good' anymore. The television drama, as a medium, is now far superior to its bigger-screened show-off brother.
Longer form dramas allow stories to be told in patient detail and for characters to be developed naturally and at the creators' leisure. Filmmakers and top-drawer actors have recognised this over the past few years and flocked to TV. Movies aren't dead by a long stretch, but they're nowhere near as healthy in comparison.
It's true across the genres, but especially with crime drama. Sure, TV crime has always served up plenty of quality. But be honest – can you ever remember so many great crime shows on your box? We certainly can't. 2018 was great, but 2019 looks to be an even bigger twelve months for thrilling TV crime dramas. There's an incredible amount heading our way. Here are some that really catch our eye…
All information is correct as of December 2018. Where no UK channel/air date info is available, details for US broadcast have been shown instead.
New crime TV shows you shouldn't miss in 2019:
Tin Star series 2
Currently showing on Channel 4 after debuting on Sky Atlantic, the first series of this Rockies-set thriller followed the adventures of Cockney copper Jim Worth (played by Tim Roth) as he settled (or failed to settle) into life as the sheriff of a small Canadian town. Series 2 picks up where the first left off and should have all the style, flair and idiosyncrasies of the maiden run.
Where? Sky Atlantic
When? 24 January
True Detective series 3
Who knows how this will go? The first series of True Detective was a stone cold classic. Sure, it was a little pretentious and anti-climactic, but it was still excellent. Whereas the star-studded sophomore effort was, well, not a classic (to put it politely). So the jury will be out on this until it airs.
Mahershala Ali is Detective Wayne Hays, with Stephen Dorff as his partner Detective Roland West. Set in the Ozarks over three different time periods, the pair investigate a grim case of missing children. Series writer Nic Pizzolatto directs, alongside Blue Ruin's Jeremy Saulnier and The Walking Dead's Daniel Sackheim.
When? January
The Widow series 1
This eight-part series from screenwriters Harry and Jack Williams (Liar, The Missing) stars Kate Beckinsale as Georgia Wells, a woman coming to terms with the death of her husband. But just as she tries to move on with her life, she's drawn back into the mystery. And also into the depths of the Congolese jungle. With the BAFTA-winning Williams brothers on penning duties, The Widow is definitely one to keep a lookout for. Find out more here.
Where? ITV1 / Amazon Prime
I Am the Night series 1
A-lister Chris Pine stars in this six-part series as a journalist investigating LA gynaecologist and would-be killer, Dr George Hodel. Was the unassuming doctor responsible for the infamous Black Dahlia murder…? He was certainly involved in some of LA's more sordid, debauched and occult-tinged goings-on at the time. Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins heads things up behind the camera, so it's no surprise that this looks like it could be a belter.
Where? TNT (USA)
When? January (USA)
Mindhunter series 2
This serial killer thriller is a semi-fictionalised account of the establishment of the FBI's Behavioural Sciences Unit and features some rather stunning portrayals of some of the 1970's most infamous repeat murderers. Mindhunter was possibly the best crime drama of 2017, so it's safe to say that we're more than a little excited about its return. Especially given it's due to focus on the always fascinating Charles Manson case and the often-overlooked grimness of the Atlanta Child Murders.
Where? Netflix
When? 'Early 2019'
Line of Duty series 5
A new series of the twisting police corruption thriller Line of Duty is always a welcome thing. Especially now, after how absurdly good the previous series starring Thandie Newton was. The man behind it, Jed Mercurio, has been kept busy by Bodyguard in 2018, but will firmly refocus his efforts on this fifth season of AC-12 action in order to reveal just who's under all those balaclavas. And who 'H' is exactly. We just hope it's not Superintendent Ted Hastings.
Series 5 is rumoured to star one of Britain's greatest living actors in a central 'bad guy' role… The incomparable Stephen Graham. Which is pretty amazing news, eh?
Where? BBC One
Fans of Marcella's Anna Friel are in for a treat in 2019 as she's due to star alongside Sinead Keenan and Rosalind Eleazar in ITV's gripping emotional thriller Deep Water, based on the Windermere novels by Dead Good favourite Paula Daly. The drama takes a modern look at families and the pressure of juggling busy lives, and is an exploration of what it means to be a 'perfect' mother. Find out more here.
Where? ITV1
When? Spring
Peaky Blinders series 5
This needs no explanation, does it…? Peaky Blinders is back for a fifth series. Some big names were killed off last year. Replacing them are a bunch of newbies including figures played by Hunger Games actor Sam Claflin and Brendan Gleeson's son Brian. You don't really need us to tell you that it's going to be good.
When? Late spring
Bancroft series 2
Sarah Parish returns in this follow-up to the first Bancroft. Set in Manchester, we follow the deadly and borderline psychopathic (and corrupt) Detective Bancroft as she ascends the police ladder. In this second series, she must help her son fight a double murder charge while taking on a bitter enemy. The first run was a surprise smash for ITV, so expect plenty of effort put into this 'ferocious female-driven tale', as series creator and writer Kate Brooke calls it. Find out more here.
When? TBC
Written by Narcos co-writer Chris Brancato, this mob tale tells the true story of New York City gangster Bumpy Johnson's attempt to regain control of the streets from the Genovese family after a decade-long stretch in jail. Forest Whitaker plays Johnson, with the imperious Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Daredevil) as his mafia boss nemesis Vincent Gigante. Expect bruising violence in this hard-hitting tale of kingpin rivalry.
Where? Epix (USA)
Umberto Eco's classic 1980 debut novel was famously made into a movie six years after its publication. In this big-budget miniseries version, John Turturro takes on Sean Connery's role as the Franciscan monk-turned-sleuth William of Baskerville, with Rupert Everett co-starring. This 14th century-set crimer should be a seriously classy affair. Think Cadfael x 5.
'A Nicolas Winding Refn TV series.' How good is that as a sentence? The man behind Drive, Pusher, Bronson and The Neon Demon is probably the world's most stylish and exciting director. Starring Miles Teller as a 'grieving police officer' and a cast of oddball characters played by the likes of Jena Malone, William Baldwin and John Hawkes, this promises to have it all: Mexican drug cartels, killer teenage gangs, Russian mafia, Yakuza… This could well be a future classic, a kind of modern, urban Twin Peaks.
Where? Amazon Prime
Trust Me series 2
This Jodie Whittaker-starring medical thriller about a woman who poses as a surgeon and lets her lie run away from her was a hit for the BBC back in August. Whittaker is busy being Doctor Who and so it falls to Alfred Enoch to replace her. The cast of Trust Me series 2 is filled out by the likes of TV favourites Ashley Jensen and John Hannah, with the story set to differ from the first run. Enoch plays a recovering war veteran who notices the people on his ward are dying in mysterious circumstances… Find out more here.
Vera series 9
A new series rarely gets much of a fanfare, but Vera is quietly one of the most reliable and consistent UK crime shows of the past decade or so. Based on books by Ann Cleeves, a ninth season of the Northumberland-set whodunit hits the airwaves in 2019 and if you've never given it a go, well, you must be mad, pet. Find out more here.
Dark Mon£y
A dark child abuse drama with a rather flashy title, this sobering four-parter looks set to present the idea that paying off victims is not a wise move in abuse cases. Written by Levi David Addai – the man behind Damilola, Our Loved Boy – this might not be a whole lot of fun, but it certainly looks set to leave a mark.
Fans of quality action films will celebrate the news that Gareth Evans, director of The Raid and Apostle, has his own ten-part gangland thriller coming up. Starring Joe Cole from Peaky Blinders and Sope Dirusu from Humans, this is a tale of gangs fighting it out to control the capital. Expect high drama and extremely stylised violence.
The Capture
An innocent man is accused of a crime he didn't commit and finds that doctored security and video footage will likely put him away. This six-part conspiracy thriller looks set to raise some interesting questions around our reliance on technology and its limitations and vulnerabilities. It's set to star War & Peace's Callum Turner and Strike's brilliant Holliday Grainger.
Miss This is England? If so, don't worry. Shane Meadows and Stephen Graham are back for this new four-part series that sees Graham's character return to Ireland and the care homes of his childhood to confront the people and institutions that abused him in what's said to be not unlike the brutal revenge tale of arguably his best film, Dead Man's Shoes.
Where? Channel 4
Morven Christie is Detective Sergeant Lisa Armstrong in this ITV six-parter. A fearsome investigator and Family Liaison Officer, she's caught up in a murky missing persons case in her hometown of Morecambe. The channel, theme and coastal setting bring Broadchurch to mind, though we're sure it has its own thing going on. The Bay comes from the producers of Trauma and Bancroft, so it's definitely one to watch out for in 2019. Find out more here.
Where? ITV
Dublin Murders
Based on Tana French's bestselling Dublin Murder Squad novels, Dublin Murders is set to give us Killian Scott and Sarah Greene as detectives Rob Reilly and Cassie Maddox. It's due to be an eight-parter with a mostly Irish cast and if it's anything like the novels (and, well, why wouldn't it be?), we'll be in for a treat with this. Find out more here.
See? More than a little promising, right? 2019 can't get here quick enough.
Which of our picks are you most excited to watch? Let us know in the comments below…
In no order I look forward to Vera, Dublin murders and the capture.

Xinjiang's history of oppression
Hundreds of Uighurs rallied in Kazakhstan yesterday to call for the independence of Xinjiang from China and to mourn the 200 people killed in clashes in Urumchi with authorities last month. Most Uighurs in Xinjiang don't go as far as the Kazakh protesters and simply want be recognised within the federation. China says that the Han were mainly the victims of the most recent clashes but their claims simply cannot be trusted in this matter. Their clumsy attempts to shut down Rebiya Kadeer's visit to Australia are the latest in a long history of subjugating the Uighur population in China's westernmost province by whatever means possible including the media.
The large, sparsely populated land the Uighurs call home has always been at the crossroads of Chinese and Muslim culture. Han Chinese influence pre-dates Islam by a thousand years. Chinese leaders they have ruled the province on and off since then. But the startling rise of Islam beginning in 934AD complicated political allegiances for the next millenium. In 1877, the Chinese empire asserted its control of what it called Sinkiang (Xinjiang) Province. When after the Manchus were overthrown in 1911, China settled in to a long period of fractured rule. Xinjiang was ruled by a succession of mostly Chinese warlords who were hated by the local Uighur population. The province was ravaged by typhus and then ethnic wars in the 1930s until it was brought to an end by the Russians. The Red Army invaded in 1934 and Stalin saw Xinjiang as a counterbalance to the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The USSR exploited Xinjiang for its oil and the province would remain under Soviet control until 1942.
With Russia engaged with the Nazis on three fronts, local Muslim leaders took the opportunity to take control. They renamed the territory the Eastern Turkestan Republic. The new ETR fought against Chiang Kai-Shek's Kuomintang with Russian support. In the summer of 1949 most of the new republic's leaders were killed in a plane crash and a third enemy took most advantage. Communist Party forces overran the province from the east in what Chinese history books now call a "liberation". While there still great hostility between local Han Chinese and Uighurs, the Communist regime was generally accepted, partially because they were the first rulers to bring peace to the area in 40 years.
Mao's philosophy was to integrate the Uighurs into the Chinese political system. But they were never trusted by local administrators and Xinjiang maintained the impression of a colony. There were forced labour camps, forced re-settlement, an influx of poor Han Chinese, and discrimination against Muslim practices. Mao's portrait was hung in every mosque, Shari'a law was abolished and the teachings of imams were converted into pro-Communist lectures. In 1958, China insisted Xinjiang drop its use of the Cyrillic alphabet and use a Roman one with a few Chinese words. The effect was to weaken Uighur identity, especially across generations brought up with different alphabets.
Nothing much changed until the Deng-inspired reforms of the early 1980s. China officially acknowledged Uighurs were Turkic in origin, they allow mosques to be re-opened and they permitted some Muslim literature. This brief flower of openness ended with the Tiananmen massacre in 1989. Xinjiang had its own violent riots at the time with Muslims protesting about their lack of religious rights. A frightened China cracked down hard on the province, banned many Muslim practices (including attending mosques and observing Ramadan). They also introduced the one child policy which Muslims were previously exempt from and enforced it with compulsory sterilisations and late-term abortions.
Dissent was not tolerated. In 1990 authorities opened fire with helicopter gunships and mortars on a major protest at Baren. At least 50 people were killed. The Chinese justified the killing on the grounds the protesters were calling for jihad and the expulsion of the Han. After Baren, China stepped up its military presence in the province and placed cameras in all mosques. Relations worsened and another serious riot erupted in 1997 at Gulja caused by the tinder of the police arrest of two religious students. Despite a crackdown in which several people died, rioting continued for days afterwards and the city was sealed off for two weeks.
Uighur separatists gathered renewed vigour from Gulja. They responded with the anger of the poor man's air force - crude attacks against soft targets including one bomb in Beijing. In 2000, 60 people were killed in a massive explosion in the provincial capital Urumchi. The Chinese media reported it as an accident but it was more likely a truck bomb. After 9/11 gave this behaviour a bad name, China was able to use the western trope of a "war on terrorism" to justify further crackdowns on Xinjiang. China is worried by what it sees as unreasonable Islamic fanaticism, and particularly fears Hizb Ut-Tahrir, a growing pan-Central Asia movement which wants to establish a single caliphate from Xinjiang to the Caucasus. But most Muslims in Xinjiang have less grandiose ambitions. They want a decent life. While the Communist regime insisted on training, education and efficiency, they ignored the real issues of migration, unemployment, corruption, and lack of democracy that were alienating the Muslim population.
The Uighurs' ultimate fear is extermination. In 1949, Xinjiang had 5 million Uighurs and 300,000 Han. Fifty years later it was 19 million to 12. And with increasing internal immigration and aggressive policing of the "one child policy" Uighurs fear they are moving ever closer to demographic suicide. Chinese policy experts don't help with patronising attitudes. They continue to refer to the autonomous regions as "backward ethnic-minority areas" and say the Han would help them "accelerate development and achieve common prosperity". But prosperity remains uncommon in Xinjiang and what economic benefits that have occurred have accrued to the immigrants. It is hardly surprising then that Uighur resistance to what they see as an occupation is growing.

Great post, Derek. It is difficult to give a historical snapshot of a people who are as complex and unique as the Uyghurs.
The only bit that I would argue is that the major fear is not extermination, but assimilation. With Xinjiang schools now forcing the Chinese language, and the ban on youth in mosques, along with many other things, it would seem that the Uyghurs aren't going to disappear, they are just going to slowly blend in.

Yeah fair point Erland - though some might argue assimilation is extermination.
Assimilation is a degree better than extermination. In the first instance you conform and get to live to see your grandchildren, in the second instance you get drone bombs and tanks obliterating you and your progeny.

Francesco Firano, the owner and founder of hacked Italian cryptocurrency exchange BitGrail, has been sentenced to return as much of the assets to his customers as possible. Scans of the court decision were released by the Bit Grail Victims Group (BGVG) on Medium on Jan. 28.
The court ruling explains that "it was the BitGrail exchange that [because of a software flaw] actually requested to the node multiple times to allow the funds to leave the wallet" and "not the Nano network that allowed the multiple withdrawals. Furthermore, the exchange also reportedly stored all of its Nano cryptocurrency holdings in a "hot wallet," which compromised its security.
The court notes that in July 2017, 2.5 million Nano were stolen from the exchange, and that Firano has been aware of it and announced that the involved exchange accounts have been blacklisted on Twitter in the same month. According to the ruling, in October of the same year — three months later — another 7.5 million Nano was stolen.
In December 2017 Firano converted the central wallet into a cold wallet and the exchange's activity became reportedly intermittent. Prosecutors informed the court that Firano deposited a total of 230 Bitcoins (BTC) in his personal account on a cryptocurrency exchange between Feb. 2 and Feb. 5 in 2018, days before announcing the loss of the stolen assets.
As Cointelegraph previously reported, two United States law firms filed a lawsuit against the developers of Nano as well as BitGrail.
The lawsuit alleges that Nano and "key members of its core team" violated federal securities laws and directed investors to open accounts and place funds in "little known, and severely troubled" Italian cryptocurrency exchange BitGrail.

Q: List of strings, get common substring of n elements, Python My problem is maybe similar to this, but another situation.
Consider this list in input :
['ACCCACCCGTGG','AATCCC','CCCTGAGG']

And the other input is n,n is a number, the dimension of the substring in common in every element of the list. So the output has to be the maximum occorence substring with the number of occorences, similar to this:
{'CCC' : 4}

4 becouse in the first element of list are twice, and one time in the other two strings.CCC becouse is the longhest substring with 3 elements,that repeats at least 1 time per string
I started in that way :
def get_n_repeats_list(n,seq_list):
max_substring={}
list_seq=list(seq_list)
for i in range(0,len(list_seq)):
    if i+1<len(list_seq):
        #Idea : to get elements in common,comparing two strings at time
        #in_common=set(list_seq[i])-set(list_seq[i+1])
        #max_substring...
return max_substring

Maybe here a solution

A: import operator
LL = ['ACCCACCCGTGG','AATCCC','CCCTGAGG']

def createLenList(n,LL):
    stubs = {}
    for l in LL:
      for i,e in enumerate(l):
          stub = l[i:i+n]
          if len(stub) == n:
             if stub not in stubs: stubs[stub]  = 1
             else:                 stubs[stub] += 1

    maxKey =   max(stubs.iteritems(), key=operator.itemgetter(1))[0]
    return [maxKey,stubs[maxKey]]

maxStub =  createLenList(3,LL)
print maxStub

A: So this is my take on it. It is definitely not the prettiest thing on the planet but it should work just fine.

            if a_substr == a_string[i_str:i_str + len(a_substr)]:
                i_found += 1
    return i_found

def found_str(original_List, n):
    result_dict = {}
    if n > min(map(len, original_List)):
        print("The substring has to be shorter than the shortest string!")

            #print(occur(original_List, sub_strs))
            result_dict[sub_strs] = occur(original_List, sub_strs)

    if result_dict == {}:
        print("No common substings of length {:} were found".format(n))

    return result_dict

end = found_str(a, 3)
print(end)

returns: {'CCC': 4}

Eastbound MetroLink Shuttles Scheduled for this Week in Midtown St. Louis
Dianne Williams
Metro will operate special late night/early morning MetroBus shuttles to transport eastbound MetroLink customers between the Central West End, Union Station and Civic Center MetroLink Stations during the early morning hours of Thursday, Dec. 29; Friday, Dec. 30 and Saturday, Dec. 31, 2011. Eastbound MetroLink passengers should allow an extra 10 to 15 minutes for their commutes.
The last four eastbound trains on MetroLink's service schedule are being taken out of service at the Central West End Station so the contractor constructing the new Grand Boulevard Bridge can work above the MetroLink tracks at the Grand MetroLink Station.
Passengers will get off the last four eastbound trains at the Central West End Station at 12:35 a.m., 12:49 a.m., 1:05 a.m., and 1:19 a.m. and board a MetroBus to continue eastbound to the Union Station MetroLink Station and to the Civic Center Station. Westbound MetroLink service will not be affected because all westbound trains will have cleared the area before the overhead construction work begins.
Updates on MetroLink operations can be found at www.metrostlouis.org in the Rider Alert section or by calling Customer Service at 314-231-2345 or 618-271-2345 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

I'm sorry, I can't say this is a miracle 'cure' or even radical. It just sounds like intelligent parenting for neurotypical kids. Great for that. But doesn't take into account sensory processing issues or mental health issues. It assumes children are making a choice to be 'challenging' and 'testing the boundaries'. I can say from experience that my child would give anything not to feel the distress, confusion and frustration that cause him to be non compliant. He knows full well that his low moments are not constructive nor will they gain him anything. I think being sensitive, intuitive and proactive to all situations are the key to nurturing a child.


'Whatmask' is a tool to help manipualte network settings. It can work in two modes. The first mode invokes Whatmask with only a subnet mask as the argument; this mode echoes back the subnet mask in four formats, plus the number of useable addresses in the range. The second mode executes Whatmask with any ip address within the subnet, followed by a slash ('/'), followed by the subnet mask in any format. This echoes back the netmask in the following formats: CIDR, Netmask, Netmask (Hex) Wildcard Bits; the network address; the broadcast address; the number of Usable IP Addresses; and the first and last usable IP addresses.
