Posting from Miami

I am posting an interesting note I received from a British woman this morning. The email made me realize that as we become more of a global village every day, it becomes so much more important to understand how women around the world give birth in order to have the proper context for our own experiences. Here is what she said:

Dear Tina
I have just listened to your National Public Radio interview (24th October) after reading about it on the "normal childbirth" myspace page. On the strength of this I've ordered a copy of your book, Birth: A surprising history, from Amazon, as I can't wait until the UK release date in March 2007!
I wanted to write to tell you about my own just-completed birth stories project, Speaking of Birth, in which a dozen first-time mothers living in my home-town of Brighton UK, talk about their diverse experiences of giving birth.
Speaking of Birth is an oral history of personal experiences of childbirth recounted with frankness, humour and passion. Realised as a one-hour radio programme, first broadcast on www.resonancefm.com, and also available as an audio CD, it documents the mothers' stories and provides a vivid snapshot of the realities of childbirth today. Five hundred copies of the cd were distributed free to new mothers in Brighton in October 2006.
I was motivated to produce Speaking of Birth following my own difficult experience with the birth of my daughter in December 2004 (five day labour ending in emergency caesarean, after failed forceps attempt), and am very interested to read your book - especially to compare women's experiences of childbirth historically and globally with experiences of the women I know.

Basically as the question states how can you delete more than one email messages on the iPhone, rather than one by one.

I understand with facebook can do it, but it is not very personal and to send video to individuals is a bit unpredictable. With yahoo I can only send 25mb. and my video content is 70mb. +

Soon I might be starting a Youtube show. And I'm planning on using potentially copyrighted material on my show. Will I have to get direct permission from someone in authority of this material to use it? Thanks in advance!

Once it's deleted, you can't get it back.

Hi i recently bought a macbook pro and i am not new when it comes to macs, i also have a black macbook. I was just wondering what may be happening. About twice a day the view options for the icons on the desktop randomly switch to the largest setting, making any icon on my desktop really big. Does anyone know why this may be happening or how to fix the problem? Thanks!

Hey :) I'm new to using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and I'm creating an Avatar, however, I'm stuck on which effects and colourisations to use on one, as I'm a beginner at using such things on CS4, but I think colour enhancement is my main focus with the Avatar. Can someone please help me? All comments are warmly appreciated, and thank you!

Hi Folks!

I wanted to share with you a great site I just came across teaching [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] like they teach it in the Israeli Army (IDF) If you guys have seen the Discovery Channel TV Show called Fight Quest you would have seen their chief instructor Ran Nakash there featured on their [url=http://www.kravmagabootcamp.com][b]Krav Maga[/b][/url] segment. Anyways, let me know what you think. Is training via the internet something you would do?


all the best

Forrest
