Internet telecom companies aren’t your friends, no matter how cheerful they may try to portray themselves in advertisements.
The latest reminder of that fact is the story of Tully Free Library in rural Tully, NY, which got hit by an absurd $880 bill from Verizon for using a mere 440 megabytes of data while accidentally roaming in Canada, according to a report from Ars Technica.
The Tully Library offers a hotspot-lending program for residents to get internet access, which is otherwise limited in the town.
The program had originally been funded by the Central New York Library Resources Council, which paid for the first two years of the hotspots.
But when that grant ended, the library decided to keep the program going on its own.
NEW YORK, NY (August 8, 2019): The 20th International Conference on Alzheimer's Drug Discovery, a two-day interdisciplinary forum to be held September 16-17, 2019 in Jersey City, NJ, will bring together 20 top researchers to present a diversity of approaches and the latest on innovative treatments and diagnostics for Alzheimer's disease, related dementias and cognitive aging.
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF)-funded investigators and other guest speakers will share findings on both novel and repurposed drug programs and biomarkers at various stages of the pipeline.
The program will focus on four major topics that include: Small molecule approaches for Alzheimer's disease; Novel approaches for frontotemporal dementia; Clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease; Novel biomarker approaches.
"This year's conference is particularly significant," said Dr. Howard Fillit, ADDF's Founding Executive Director and Chief Science Officer.
"Research advances are rapidly bringing drug discovery closer to important and practical applications.
Several presentations will address new directions in academic and startup drug development programs, targeting a wide variety of areas including vascular pathology, calcium regulation, neuroprotection and inflammation."
Could you any more excited?
Years after it aired, the show has gained a new lease on Netflix.
To celebrate, the 1,070-piece Lego set features all the details of the friendly New York coffee shop.
Chandler, Monica, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Central Perk manager Gunther all appear as minifigures, complete with their signature outfits and haircuts.
You can build the all-important couch and add accessories for each of the minifigures.
Phoebe has her guitar ready to perform Smelly Cat; Chandler is all set to connect his laptop to a printer; and Joey doesn't share the contents of his pizza box.
