...Should I switch from Tylenol to aspirin or ibuprofen? Not necessarily. If you are not taking any other prescription pain medications that contain acetaminophen and you take Tylenol as directed, you should not be at risk of damaging your liver. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are effective pain relievers, but when taken at high doses and for prolonged periods - especially for the treatment of chronic pain in older adults - they carry a risk of stomach ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding. NSAIDs may also raise blood pressure and affect kidney function. If you are concerned about your acetaminophen...
...mulch I wanted, he carried it to my car, it's much closer, and I got exactly what I wanted in the right amount. So the satisfaction I got was not in the price, which was higher than I normally pay, but from the stuff. That's a switch...
...first project of its kind in Europe, the residents of Dörentrup can now switch on the lights on a specific street whenever they like. All they have to do is register for the scheme online and provide a phone number.

They'll stay on for around 15 minutes, enough time for someone to walk from one end of the average...

Utility company Lemgo says the scheme will cut down Dörentrup's carbon-dioxide emissions by around 12 tons each year compared with leaving the streetlights on all night. "We found out that on each stretch of road, people only switch on the lights up to three times each night," explains Frank Bräuer, project leader at Lemgo. "That's why this system works in villages or the outskirts of a town where residents don't need the lights burning all night." But Dial4Light won't work for everyone, he admits...
...project as win-win. After he was forced to turn off the village lights to help save money, he faced complaints from angry residents worried about their safety when making their way home in the dark in the dead of night. He still defends his decision to flip the switch - "If I watch TV at home, and then go into another room, I switch the lights off in the lounge; people shouldn't expect the streetlights to be on when they're not outside" - but says that any money saved will go toward building schools or sports facilities...
