If you loved The Two of Us, you''ll probably hate Untogether Lives. But who knows, you might just love it...Untogether Lives is a collection of fourteen stories that peek through the curtains of an eclectic cast struggling to keep mind, body and the world around them together. From an amputee shoe thief, to an unlikely arsonist, to a sexually frustrated quadriplegic. Predominantly dark and occasionally disturbing, these stories are not for the faint-hearted, but neither are they without humour. Not everyone in Untogether Lives gets a happy ending, and not everyone survives - but, hey, that''s life for you. PRAISE FOR ANDY P.

Jack and Mary are happy until an underhanded sea captain and Jack''s bragging bring trouble into their lives.

The extensive allelic variability observed in several genes related to the immune response and its significance in transplantation, disease association studies and diversity in human populations has led the scientific community to analyse these variants among individuals. This thesis is focussed on the development of a database and software applications for the investigation of several immune genes and the frequencies of their corresponding alleles in worldwide human populations. The approach presented in this thesis includes the design of a relational database, a web interface, the design of models for data exchange and the development of online searching mechanisms for the analysis of allele, haplotype and genotype frequencies. At present, the database contains data from more than 1000 populations covering more than four million unrelated individuals. The repertory of datasets available in the database encompasses different polymorphic regions such as Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA), Killer-cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR), Major histocompatibility complex Class I chain-related (MIC) genes and a number of cytokine gene polymorphisms. The work presented in this document has been shown to be a valuable resource for the medical and scientific societies. Acting as a primary source for the consultation of immune gene frequencies in worldwide populations, the database has been widely used in a variety of contexts by scientists, including histocompatibility, immunology, epidemiology, pharmacogenetics and population genetics among many others. In the last year (August 2010 to August 2011), the website was accessed by 15,784 distinct users from 2,758 cities in 136 countries and has been cited in 168 peer-reviewed publications demonstrating its wide international use.

Once upon a time, and a very good time it was, not in your time, indeed not in my time, but in olden times, when quart bottles held half a gallon and houses were papered with pancakes and pigs run about with forks stuck in their backs seein who wanted a slice o'' ham, there were two old people and they never had no children, and they figured they were too old to ever have any. So begins The Queen of Paradise''s Garden, a wonderful adaptation of a traditional Newfoundland tale, and the first in an ongoing series that combines the telling wit and resonant language of acclaimed Newfoundland actor, writer and comedian Andy Jones with the charming illustrations of Slovenian-born puppeteer and artist Darka Erdelji. Of course, it''s clear from the story''s beginning that there are children on the way, and one of those children is Jack, the delightful, mischievous, big-hearted hero of so many Newfoundland tales. Told with the humour, warmth and sly wit that have made Jones one of the Island''s finest and best-loved storytellers, The Queen of Paradise''s Garden follows Jack on his way to the land of the Queen of Paradise, three miles this side of the end of the world, where he searches for a magic fruit to make his parents young again, and finds quite a few other handy things as well. The story is a free adaptation of a tale told by Albert Heber Keeping of Grand Bank, which he got from Billy Quann of Sagona Island; Keeping''s version was published in Herbert Halpert and John Widdowson''s seminal collection, Folktales of Newfoundland.
