Whilst some find it easy to distance themselves from others, others are finding isolation difficult. We are all responsible for making sure that we and the people around us are kept safe from infection and the only way to do that is to stay at home and avoid close contact with others. In these unprecedented times we still need to remain as connected and supportive as possible. Everton in the Community have produced this ‘Welcome through Football’ activity pack to help keep us all socially connected and promote positive physical and mental health through this difficult period. This activity book contains a range of exciting activities for you to try including puzzles, football quizzes, language games, reading materials and home exercise routines as well as additional support services available for mental health and wellbeing. You will find details of our online activity programme that is available on page 4; for any further information on these sessions, please contact your Everton in the Community staff member. Once you have completed the various tasks you can submit your answers and written work using the self-addressed envelopes and post them back to the address on the back page of this pack. We hope you enjoy this activity pack and would welcome your feedback on what you would like to see in the next edition.

Your football geography challenge is to correctly match the famous footballers below to the correct flag of their home country as well as to identify where on the world map that country is located. Use a pen or pencil to draw lines from each player to the correct flag and a line from that flag to the correct location on the world map. MINDFUL COLOURING Colour Psychologists suggests that the simplicity of colouring can help people to develop cognitively, psychologically, and creatively. Research has shown that colouring in can provide numerous wellbeing benefits including: - Help lift your mood, decrease anxiety and stress - Improve self-esteem and confidence - Sense of accomplishment - Relaxation-based coping mechanisms to help manage anxious thoughts and feelings - Distract from negative thoughts or boredom - Can positively interrupt focus on worries about past or future events Colouring can also provide a much-needed break and the chance to relax and refocus. It doesn’t need to be perfect; it can be simple and straight-forward. Mindfulness and mindful colouring can help increase your awareness of the world around you and your place in it. Why not try your hand at having a go of ‘mindful colouring’ as an alternative way to unwind and relax. If you don’t have coloured pencils, try different shades of grey.

  • COALITIONAL DYNAMICS in PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS a Dissertation by THIAGO NASCIMENTO DA SILVA Submitted to the Office of Graduate An
    COALITIONAL DYNAMICS IN PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS A Dissertation by THIAGO NASCIMENTO DA SILVA Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Guy D. Whitten Co-Chair of Committee, José Antonio Cheibub Committee Members, William Roberts Clark Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon Robert Kirby Goidel Head of Department, William Roberts Clark May 2019 Major Subject: Political Science Copyright 2019 Thiago Nascimento da Silva ABSTRACT In contrast to initial expectations, a recent literature has identified coalition formation as being almost as common in presidential systems as in parliamentary systems. However, few studies have analyzed the dynamics of coalition governments in presidential democracies. In this dissertation, I address these dynamics, which include government formation, government breakdown, and policy monitoring between coalition partners. Three questions are answered in this dissertation: What explains the variation in the advantage of the president’s party with regards to the allocation of ministerial posts? Why and when do presidential coalition members monitor policies being implemented by their partners? Under what conditions are cabinet coalition terminations more likely to occur in presidential systems? My answers to these questions provide important insights into the fundamental differences between presi- dential and parliamentary forms of government. ii DEDICATION To Lindsey. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am aware of academia’s general practice of offering discreet and moderate acknowledg- ments, but here I will choose to follow my emotions, and list spontaneous and open-hearted thanks to the people who generously shared their knowledge, their time, and their lives during my dissertation journey.
