POPSUnbelievable determination: The world's only known successful DIY C-section birth
More: A mother-of-eight, she lives in a hamlet in the Oaxaca region of Mexico. News of her remarkable do-it-yourself caesarean spread around the world only after the doctor who would eventually tend for the mother and her baby son, Orlando, was sent on attachment to a hospital in Chicago. An American colleague later wrote it up in the International Journal for Gynaecology and Obstetrics… Haltingly at first, Ines tells the remarkable story of how she gave birth. "I had seven children before Orlando," she says. "There was no problem with the births. But the eighth baby died. My waters broke and the midwife said I needed a caesarean but I couldn't get to the hospital in time. I felt the baby struggling but then it stopped moving. "When I was seven months pregnant with Orlando, one night the pain began. It was terrible. I couldn't bear it. I started to panic. I knew I had to do something or this baby would die too. I knew I had to get it out somehow."

POPSDarkness Falls ...... by Mark Steyn “We do not negotiate with terrorists. We just accede to their anticipated demands.” Christopher Caldwell also weighs in, apropos the attempt to kill Kurt Westergaard . . . and, in a very explicit sense, intellectual freedom. Few industries congratulate themselves on their "courage" and "bravery" more incessantly than artists and journalists " at least when it comes to plays about a gay Jesus, or joining the all-star singalong for Rock Against Bush. But it's easy to be provocative with people who can't be provoked. Faced with an opportunity to demonstrate real courage, the arts and the media shrivel up like a bunch of dying pansies. As I wrote in my book: If it were just terrorists bombing buildings and public transit, it would be easier; even the feeblest Eurowimp jurisdiction is obliged to act when the street is piled with corpses. But there's an old technique well understood by the smarter bullies.

POPSHero pilot let plane fly unaided at 7,500ft as he battled to save parachutist As a result he climbed the aircraft back to 7,500ft with only one possible solution open to him if he was to save Major Denning's life - to leave the controls rendering the aircraft pilotless and walk back along the Turbo-Islander and cut the Major free. Now Greyling is to receive a rarely awarded Royal Humane Society Bronze medal on the recommendation of the man whose life he saved. Describing the incident, which happened in July last year, Royal Humane Society secretary Dick Wilkinson said: 'In all the years we have been making awards for bravery we have never had an incident like this one. 'It is truly amazing. If ever any-one deserved one of our awards he does. It really was extraordinary airmanship. 'The aircraft could have gone into a dive and crashed killing both men.'

POPSMIA Labrador Sabi, Greeted by Prime Minister Rudd and General McChrystal 
The Afghan handed Sabi over and the American quickly realised she must be a military-trained animal. Within days, the Labrador was returned to her unit - no worse for wear. Mark Donaldson, the SAS trooper awarded the Victoria Cross for rescuing a wounded interpreter during the battle, said: 'Sabi's the last piece of the puzzle. 'Having Sabi back gives some closure for the handler and the rest of us that served with her in 2008. It's a fantastic morale-booster for the guys.' The dog's unnamed handler told of the moment he was reunited with Sabi. He said: 'I nudged a tennis ball to her with my foot and she took it straight away. 'It's a game we used to play over and over during her training. It's amazing, just incredible, to have her back.' The dog was returned to the Australians' base just in time for a visit by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who was photographed along with the U.S. commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, petting Sabi.

POPSI've been betrayed by this Government, says Iraq War hero who won George Cross He said that when he received his George Cross, ‘the Queen told me she had not presented a GC for “such a long time” and that it was “a privilege” to give it to me’. Now 25, he tells the MAIL ON SUNDAY with typical bravery how his pride was soon eclipsed by anger at the Government's mistreatment of the Armed Forces and why he took the drastic step of quitting army life earlier this year...

POPSBe Proud America - Afghan Women's Writing Project Get a tissue or two, sit back and read this account of a young Afghan woman about the last few days she had with her American mentor - Rosemary. It is truly amazing how brave and dedicated some people are and that more often than not - their story does not go nearly as far as the people they touch.

POPSHero Saves 4 Year-Old's Life One Day and "Pops The Question" on TV the Next Day The 33-year-old, known to friends as Billy, flashed back to that smoke-filled terror when he heard the screams Wednesday night from a fourth-floor apartment. Cretan was working with his then-girlfriend, Desiree Guzman, inside their electronics business near the burning building. She watched as he grabbed a ladder and scrambled onto the fire escape. Minutes later, Cretan was lugging the semi-conscious youth down to waiting rescue workers. "He saved my boy's life," said Pharbodial Ramcharran, 40, after his son's rescue. "Nothing else matters. My boy looked pretty good this morning. He hugged and kissed me." During his television appearance, Cretan segued from an interview to an engagement. "You know that I'm a handful already, we both know that," Cretan told 24-year-old Desiree. "I promise you one thing, there's never going to be a dull moment. "So therefore will you marry me anyway?" His girlfriend, after agreeing, shared a kiss and a long hug with her new
