Ok so this is my first Bebo post (first ever blog post actually). I'm sure it will get easier as I go on. Given I'm probably a good 25 years older that most people on this site I thought I'd ask whoever reads this who your heroes are, and find out how out of touch I am. Are they musicians? Politicians? Artists? Your family or friends?
I've put a bit about my heroes below. Feel free to comment. i haven't worked out how to create hyperlinks yet but I have added a couple of URLs if you fancy finding out more about them. (If you know how to create the links please leave me a message or point me to where I can find out - thanks.)

Norman Borlaug
Nobel prize winning Borlaug is a proponent of genetically engineered crops. He designed a dwarf wheat that combined the larger, heavier heads of the tall wheats, with the shorter, sturdier stems of the dwarf wheats to produce a strain that gave high yelds but wasn't susceptable to damage in strong rain and wind.
Subsequent developments allowed two crops per year. Borlaug wheats made a significant move towards ending world hunger.

Virginia Apgar
Apgar, a US doctor specialising in research on newborns and anesthesiology, created a simple five criteria score card to rate newborn babies at one minute and five minutes after birth. (1. Heart, 2. respritory effort, 3. muscle tone, 4. reflex irritability, 5. colour.)
The test is now known as the Apgar test. Each criteria can score a maximum of two points. A score below five immediately flags up that something needs further investigation or the baby needs immediate treatment. The test is used internationally and has probably saved thousands, if not millions of lives.
