We do also have some older network devices, and we are beginning the process of doing a network refresh to address that issue going forward,” Nettifee wrote of the possibility of future Internet access interruptions.

The series, co-presented by the Goethe Institut Boston, aims to introduce...

Like, there’s a lot of shy Asian girls, but I’m not them,” Zhang says, fashionably groomed in a cable-knit sweater and tweed shorts. “When I was applying to college, everybody expected me to fail, because I wasn’t fitting into the stereotype of a good Asian child, according to the traditional Asian parents. Among my parents’ friends, no parent told their child, ‘Be like Peipei,’” she says. In high school, Zhang...
