Why are butterflies important to the rainforest?

The Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew in England has a very detailed profile of the rafflesia plant. According to Kew, this plant is native to southeastern Asia and is actually a parasitic plant. It has the distinction of being the largest flower in the world. The flowers smell like rotting flesh which attracts carrion-flies who pollinate the flowers. The flower buds can be used as medicine, but some of the medicinal uses are believed to be tied to superstition more than to sound medical science. Small mammals are able to eat the berries produced from the flower. More than anything though, rafflesia has become a popular symbol and pictures of it are published in tourist brochures and on postage stamps. Ecotourism revenue that helps support local residents is also generated from tourists who visit forested areas to see rafflesia flowers in the wild.

I also read through a short encyclopedia-style article on The National Library Board of Singapore's Infopedia website. It says that rafflesia flower buds are eaten as a delicacy in Thailand. It also gives several specific examples of how the rafflesia is used as a medicine: childbirth, energy drink, aphrodisiac. This website agrees with Kew in saying that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim of any actual medical powers. Ironically, several potentially toxic chemicals have been identified within the buds and flowers. So, you may want to think twice before eating a rafflesia!

How does rain affect a football?

If the umpire believes the game can be played safely and well the game will continue despite the rain or snow. As soon as this is not the case, the game will be delayed. Usually if the umpire expects the delay to be significantly more than an hour, the game will be stopped.

The game is considered an official game if it is stopped after 5 or more innings of play. If the home team is winning after four and a half innings, it is also official. Whoever was winning after the last complete inning is declared the winner. If the game is tied, the game will usually be resumed at a later date from the point where it was stopped.

If the game is stopped after fewer than five innings, it is replayed from the start at a later date. Occasionally a rained-out game is not made up, if it has no bearing on the final playoff picture.

What is the equipment needed in lacrosse?

In Lacrosse you use a stick, consisting of two parts, the head and the shaft. You also wear protective equipment such as a Helmet, Shoulder Pads, Arm Pads, Gloves, and sometimes rib pads. Rib Pads are not required.

In mens there is generally the shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, the cup, the helmet, and the stick which is either the short stick or the defensive pole.

In womens the equipment is basically a stick the length of a mens short stick, optional gloves, and goggles.

Both have to wear mouthguards because no one wants to lose teeth, or get a concussion. Both have goalies that wear chest pads and helmets with thigh pads. The shin guards are preferred but are mainly up to the goalie or the coach as well as any other pads.

I'm not sure about mens lacrosse but for womens all you need is an approved stick, mouthguard, and eye protection goggles.

Men use helmets, gloves, elbow/arm guards/protectors, chest pads, a stick (made up of the shaft and head), a cup, and optionaly rib guards (very useful for midis and attack because you get slap and poke checked a lot).
