By supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester and telling others about how the Club is improving the lives of the kids we reach, you will help us continue to make an important and life-saving difference for our kids. The Boys & Girls Club of Worcester is embarking on a bold four-year initiative to deepen the positive impact on young people’s lives. We are beginning to recruit a stadium full of Raving Fans empowered to enlist others to support the growing impact that the Club is making on our youth members and the City of Worcester. HANDS AND VOICES NEEDED! This effort will result in: Worcester’s youth are struggling to create a bright future. Poverty, high dropout rates, eruptions of violent crime, family • Sustaining the Club’s current scope of service so that we can be in a position to reach out to more young substance abuse, and low fitness levels are impairing our children’s ability to succeed. people and families who need the Club; Worcester's young people need our help. Too many of them are not receiving the guidance they need to graduate from high • Increasing our overall daily attendance, and the frequency of attendance for each Club member; school, to avoid violence, gangs and drugs or to become responsible adults. And for the more than 4,000 young people • Shifting our emphasis from growth to impact so we can prove what we know- that Club members do better who ARE finding hope and opportunity in our Boys & Girls Clubs, the need for support is greater than ever. academically, are more physically fit, are less likely to join a gang or get involved in juvenile crime, are con tributing to the city through community service and have loads more fun because of their involvement; The statistics about the challenges facing youth in Worcester and the United States are staggering. • Bringing the same standards of excellence to our outreach units in Great Brook Valley and Plumley Village that we have achieved in Main South; • 39% of 18 to 25 year olds in the City of Worcester do not have a high school diploma. • Serving girls and teens through programs designed specifically for their needs. • More than a quarter of all of the youth living within Worcester’s city limits live below the poverty level. 58 % of the youth that come to our Clubhouses live in poverty and 68% live in a single By becoming a Raving Fan of the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester, you strengthen our ability to serve the children and teens — parent household. 1 that need us most. As a Raving Fan you will: — • 16 % of adolescents in the USA are overweight. This figure has nearly tripled in the last 20 years. • In the next 24 hours 3,506 American teens will run away from home. • Encourage someone who can help to tour one of our Clubhouses; • Every 24 hours, more than 15,000 teens in the U.S. begin using drugs for the first time. • Invite others to attend a Club event or help serve a hot meal at Kids Café; • Help us identify “broadcast towers”--other folks like you that care about Worcester’s kids with strong fundraising, communication, and networking skills that will get the word out to even more people about COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF THE DIFFERENCE THAT OUR CLUB IS MAKING our great Club and kids. The crisis affecting our children impacts every community within our nation and Worcester is no exception. While these Boys & Girls Club alumni say it best: “The Club saved my life.” statistics regarding our youth are alarming, there is hope. You can change the life of a child today by becoming a Raving Fan! A recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive cites the experiences of Boys & Girls Club alumni as living proof of the With your help we can continue to be a solution to the challenges facing youth in Worcester, hope Boys & Girls Clubs offer. The alumni survey reveals some 67 % of Club alumni attribute their ability to avoid difficulty with the law to the influence of Club staff, and 67 % also say the Club is where they learned how to "say no" to drugs and alcohol. Also noted in the survey, some 28 % of respondents report they would have dropped out of high school if not for the Club. Another 51 % achieved a higher level of education than they thought possible because of attending their Club. Of the alumni surveyed, 80 % said that their Club experience made a positive impact on their attitude toward fitness and health, with 74 % participating in organized sports. While so many of our nation's young people are dropping out of high school, succumbing to drugs/alcohol or losing the fight against poor nutrition and/or exercise, many Boys & Girls Club alumni thrive. In fact, they are Living Proof that Clubs work . The transformation in Main South that the Club is accomplishing with Clark University and the Main South Community Development Corporation is immediately apparent to anyone who drives through the neighborhood. The new Clubhouse and new housing are only the beginning, however. By collaborating with more groups than any other agency in the city, we are building a network of support for our kids that will help them transform their lives in remarkable ways. The snapshots on the following pages that celebrate Theresa, Jasmine and Damian demonstrate what our members can achieve with your involvement. Promise of a Bright Future Through sports—and the arts ost people know the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester for our outstanding swim, basketball and boxing programs. But if you visit the Clubhouse on Tainter Street, you may be surprised to see—and hear—the results of our thriving arts program. You might even catch a fragrant whiff from the weekly baking classes where lessons in kitchen math and chemistry produce good things to eat. MNot only are the walls of the Clubhouse filled with photos and pictures from classes we offer in digital photography, this year some of our students’ photos and drawings were exhibited at Clark University. The exhibition, “Street Art; A Portrait of Main South,” was the culmination of a collaboration between our — members and Clark students in a seminar on communications and culture. Mentored by professional — 2 3 — photographer Stephen DiRado, the Club members went out into the neighborhood to record their impression s — with disposable cameras. To the delight of all, the resulting pictures were both realistic and artistic. The arts program at the Boys & Girls Club is giving a voice to Club members who may not be drawn to sports. The arts also open up a whole new world of possibilities for young athletes. In the following pages, you’ll read about several of our arts programs, from keyboarding to dance as well as the education and support programs that are helping our young members realize their potential. We’re proud that our members are as creative as they are athletic and we welcome you to stop by and see for yourself. Our Promise of a Bright Future initiative is developing ongoing support for our programs and helping to build an endowment that will ensure our great programs and services will be here for our kids for another century.

  • Global Dynamics and Existence of Traveling Wave Solutions for a Three-Species Models
    Global Dynamics and Existence of Traveling Wave Solutions for A Three-Species Models Fanfan Li1, Zhenlai Han1, and Ting-Hui Yang∗2 1School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Jinan, Jinan, Shandong 250022, P R China. 2Department of Mathematics, Tamkang University, Tamsui Dist., New Taipei City 25137, Taiwan. Abstract In this work, we investigate the system of three species ecological model involving one predator-prey subsystem coupling with a general- ist predator with negative effect on the prey. Without diffusive terms, all global dynamics of its corresponding reaction equations are proved analytically for all classified parameters. With diffusive terms, the transitions of different spatial homogeneous solutions, the traveling wave solutions, are showed by higher dimensional shooting method, the Wazewski method. Some interesting numerical simulations are performed, and biological implications are given. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary: 37N25, 35Q92, 92D25, 92D40. Keywords : Two predators-one prey system, extinction, coexistence, global asymptotically stability, traveling wave solutions, Wazewski principle. arXiv:2004.12263v1 [math.DS] 26 Apr 2020 ∗Research was partially supported by Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan (R O C). 1 1 Introduction In this work, we consider an ecological system of three species with diffusion as follows, 8 @ u = r u(1 − u) − a uv − a uw; <> t 1 12 13 @tv = r2v(1 − v) + a21uv; (1.1) > : @tw = d∆w − µw + a31uw; where parameters d is the diffusive coefficient for species w, r1 and r2 are the intrinsic growth rates of species u and v respectively, and µ is the death rate of the predator w. The nonlinear interactions between species is the Lotka- Volterra type interactions between species where aij(i < j) is the rate of consumption and aij(i > j) measures the contribution of the victim (resource or prey) to the growth of the consumer [19].

Thanks to the publication of a large, rigorous new study, “The Impact of Academic Library Resources on Undergraduates’ Degree Completion,” we know that academic libraries can have a big impact on student outcomes. This bodes well for the thousands of students who use the Libraries each day, but it also means we have to make sure our core services meet their needs and expectations and that we are ready to support them throughout their academic careers. This year, we made significant improvements to our collections, instruction, and discovery, adding thousands of new resources and making them easier to find.
