While dating apps were once seen as taboo, they're now one of the main ways that singletons find love around the world. And if you're single this bank holiday, there's good news, as experts from dating app Badoo have revealed the best time to go online to bag yourself a date. According to their research, Saturday from 8-10pm is the peak time to swipe this weekend. Remy Le Fevre, Senior Director of Global Marketing at Badoo said: 'Easter is a great time for dating; the days are finally getting brighter and longer, and moods are lifting. 'Not to mention that thanks to two bank holidays - Friday and Monday - we actually have a bit of extra time on our hands, too.'

The search for patterns or motifs in data represents an area of key interest to many researchers. In this paper we present the Motif Tracking Algorithm, a novel immune inspired pattern identification tool that is able to identify variable length unknown motifs which repeat within time series data. The algorithm searches from a completely neutral perspective that is independent of the data being analysed and the underlying motifs. In this paper we test the flexibility of the motif tracking algorithm by applying it to the search for patterns in two industrial data sets. The algorithm is able to identify a population of motifs successfully in both cases, and the value of these motifs is discussed.
