Photosynthesis depends upon the absorption of light by pigments in the leaves of plants. The most important of these is chlorophyll-a, but there are several accessory pigments that also contribute.he measured rate of photosynthesis as a function of absorbed wavelength correlates well with the absorption frequencies of chlorophyll a, but makes it evident that there are some other contributors to the absorption.
I recently was catching up with your back podcast episodes and listened to The Man Behind the Maneuver, about Dr. Heimlich and his eponymous life-saving technique. I found it informative, insightful, humorous, and touching. The producer had a deft touch telling Dr. Heimlich's story, as well as his own.
Eager to make the techniques work for him, he began modifying them to accommodate his weak body. Emphasizing the use of leverage and timing over strength and speed, Helio modified virtually all of the techniques and, through trial and error, created Gracie/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
