How does one deal with the notes that are directed at him at work?

Berlin - (dpa) - Notes at work come from all directions, whether one asks for it or not. Either he receives a negative note from his boss, or a comment from a colleague.


However, helpful and constructive feedback is rare, says Theresa McInner, motivational coach and author of the books.
Most importantly, it is natural for the comments one hears to have an impact on how one sees and judges oneself. But if the other person does not call it a "commentary", and presents it as absolute information according to what is said on it, then it will lose its significance.



Comments like this usually don't help, whether they're exaggerated praise or a personal attack.


So what are the best ways to deal with such comments? It's entirely up to the person who receives it, McSinner says, adding that only we can decide whether or not to accept such feedback.

The Swiss President calls for adaptation in the face of difficulties

Geneva - (AFP) - The new president of the Swiss Confederation, Alain Berset, on Sunday called for openness and accommodation to face the difficulties resulting from the war in Ukraine, primarily inflation and the energy crisis.


Bersier, whose 2023 wishes from the National Museum in Zurich coincided with his one-year tenure, expressed "some concern" because "the final stages have been difficult".


He referred to the Covid pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, "which negatively affects our daily lives, whether in terms of energy or inflation."


He added, "We know how to come together when necessary," and "we have learned that our institutions, our social security, our health system, and our public funds are solid," stressing that "we are able to adapt."


"We will not be able to solve all the problems. But we can contribute to solving them. Solidarity is openness. Extroversion is the opposite of introversion. It is the realization that sooner or later other people's problems will become our own," Berset added.


He continued, "In difficult times, we must stop and think carefully (...) and review ourselves."


He also said, "The problems are many. But we are many in Switzerland and around the world that we want to address. This is enough to maintain optimism and look to the future with confidence."


And the Swiss president is the first among his peers in the seven-member Federal Council, which represents the country abroad.


Bersih, 50, who belongs to the Socialist Party, retains the post of Minister of the Interior, which he has held since joining the parliament in 2012.


As health officer, he has played a key role in Switzerland's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. He assumed the presidency in 2018.


The first change in four years is that two new personalities have joined the Federal Council this year.


The ministers decided that the outgoing President, Ignacio Cassis, would remain in charge of foreign affairs and Viola Amherd, the defense issues, given the unstable international framework.


While Switzerland remains militarily neutral, Russia has applied economic sanctions imposed by the European Union after its invasion of Ukraine at the end of February.

The occupation army rejects an appeal to stop the plan to evacuate the Avitar outpost on Jabal Sabih

Ramallah – “Jerusalem” dot com – The occupation army rejected an appeal submitted by the residents of the “Avitar” settlement outpost built on citizens’ lands in Jabal Sobeih.

The mountain is located between 3 villages: Qablan, Yatma and Beita, south of Nablus.

According to the Arabic-language Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, the occupation army assured the petitioners that it would proceed with its plan to remove the outpost.

The reasons for the decision stated, “This outpost was established illegally on non-princely lands that do not belong to the ‘state’, and that there is no legal basis for the arguments put forward in the appeal to regulate the legal status of the outpost.”

According to the decision, the establishment of the outpost led to destabilizing security in the region, which calls for the mobilization of large forces of the army and police, instead of performing their duties in other places.

According to the authority, the outpost's settlers intend to file a petition with the High Court in order to buy time to delay the eviction order.

Pictures || Gaza Strip fishermen have the opportunity to restore their rickety boats due to the prolonged blockade

Gaza - (AFP) - Mohamad Jerboua works with haste to restore a fishing boat in the Gaza port, nearly 15 years after boat repair work stopped due to Israel's ban on entering the necessary materials into the besieged Strip.


Jarbou and a team of technicians are facing a major challenge to repair dozens of rickety boats lined up on the sands of the beach west of Gaza City, showing signs of corrosion due to neglect resulting from the long blockade that began in 2007.


Israel prevents the entry of many materials into the Strip, including boat repair materials, claiming that they can be used for military purposes by the armed Palestinian factions.



The fishermen suffered greatly in order to repair their boats until the United Nations mediated with the Israeli authorities to allow the supply of fiberglass and its use in the framework of a UN-supervised workshop.


"I started working in this workshop two weeks ago," says Jarbou, who works in a team wearing blue uniforms and wearing masks. "It is a great achievement for the fishermen and for us as technicians, as it gave us a job opportunity."


The team works under the watch of security cameras mounted on a wooden pole as dust billows and the smell of pale blue paint wafts from a newly renovated boat.



Israel imposes a tight blockade on the impoverished and overcrowded Gaza Strip, which has a population of about 2.3 million people and suffers from unemployment of more than 50 percent, according to World Bank data.


Manal Al-Najjar, Coordination Officer at the United Nations Office in the Projects Unit, indicates that there are about 300 boats in Gaza that need to be repaired.


"In the beginning of 2022, intensive efforts were made by the United Nations with the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli side to help support the fishing sector," says al-Najjar, whose office handles infrastructure projects.


And she adds that "on November 13, the first batch of fiberglass was entered to repair ten boats," a task that takes two weeks to a month to complete.



"The agreement stipulates that these materials will be entered sequentially. Whenever a group of boats is repaired, a second batch of ten other boats will be entered under the supervision of the United Nations," the coordinating official explains.


The fishermen get the raw materials at nominal prices, but Al-Najjar confirms that they are of "high quality," referring to the happiness of the fishermen with the sailing of the first restored boat.


"We have nine boats, but we only have two engines. Some of our boats have been completely out of action for 8 years and they need a lot of fiberglass," says Salim Al-Assi (38 years old), who was lucky enough to be among the beneficiaries of the project, standing next to the fishing nets in the port. to fix it". About fifty of the Orontes' relatives work in the fishing profession.


He added, "Hundreds of fishermen have applied to benefit from the project, but I am afraid that it will not cover everyone."



However, Al-Najjar reassures the fishermen that "the project is continuing and aims not only to include glass panels and accessories, but also engines... We are not only talking about repairing the hull of the boat, but about introducing engines because many boats need that."


The disobedient fisherman also describes the suffering of the fishermen because they are prevented from entering the sea except for limited distances.


Israel controls the fishing area by air and sea, which it often shrinks or expands according to security concerns.


The armed factions in the Strip have fought four wars with Israel since 2008, and last August witnessed the last bloody escalation between the two sides.

Shereen Abu Aqleh, the last witness

Written by: Fares Habashneh


For her soul of mercy, colleague Shereen Abu Aqelah shed her pure blood.

And in a Palestinian time full of spring martyrdom. Politics and peace agreements are falling, and the martyrs are blooming a Palestinian spring with blood and faith, and their souls ascending to heaven.

The treacherous bullets of the occupation killed Shereen Abu Aqleh, her loud and bold voice, and her scandalous media message for the crimes of the Israeli occupation.

And the bullets of the occupation, and all the crimes and violations it commits, would not have been if it had not known the blood money of the dead Arab, and in the last years of the Palestinian / Israeli conflict, the enemy tried to perpetuate the policy of concealing crimes, even if the world forgets and does not see what is happening in Palestine.

Israel has become well versed in crime, murder, displacement, and the manufacture of death.. In the Israeli calendar, blood and murder are the date and title for reviving and protecting their legendary, mythical, biblical state.

The Palestinian people are besieged and steadfast, and the Palestinian cause is facing oblivion and oblivion from the Arab and international memory. Martyr Shereen Abu Aqelah was a daily witness documenting the crimes of the occupation in pictures, sounds, and words.

Abu Aqila has always been an honest transmitter and narrator of the crimes of the occupation, and her echo reached all parts of the world, and her voice and her calm and powerful words shook the consciences of the world.

“Maybe it is not easy for me to change reality, but at least I was able to convey that voice to the world,” said Al-Jazeera correspondent Sherine Abu Aqleh, after speaking about her coverage of the Israeli occupation forces’ invasion of the West Bank in 2002.

The narrators, witnesses, eyewitnesses, and documentaries of the crimes of the occupation are trying to assassinate them, hunt them down, and liquidate them, whether they are journalists, correspondents, historians, artists, drama writers, archaeologists, public opinion leaders, clerics, and activists.

Witnesses to the crimes of the occupation became scarce and became rare despite the enormity and enormity of the crime..and cameras from the Arab media became deviating from the occupied Palestinian territories and monitoring, documenting and transmitting the crimes of the occupation, and their compass deviated. .

Israel was able to isolate the Palestinian cause and cut off its news from the world, and it was able to plunge it into oblivion and erase its crimes from human memory.

Whoever kills Shreen Abu Aqila will kill another.. Seventy years ago, we bid farewell to the martyrs, and the night has long passed.. and I am certain of the truth.. as long as the martyrs fall daily, Palestine will not die and be forgotten!

What inspires hope in our souls is our deep belief in the resurrection and the resurrection.. and that all these martyrs will live on the land of Palestine one day.. Israel kills and commits crimes, besieges the Palestinians inside, and launches its deadly fire brutally, forgetting that there is room for a glimmer of life and hope. To be assassinated or surrounded by death and bullets.

Shireen, the martyr witness.. Farewell

Written by: Mukhtar Khawaja
It would have been normal coverage, a new, recurring intrusion, and Sherine's voice would come oscillating between steadfastness and tremor, steadfastness of truth, and tremor of concealed emotion, and with an accurate, clear, detailed, and objective report, every word in it telling you new information, and it might tell you an opinion or analysis that separates the context from the information. , so don't get confused.

Who taught you, Sherine, the standing of the oaks, and the language of the olives? No one can determine the truth, but it is the voice of the ancient land and the bygone nations, emitted in your voice, your letters, your standing, and your sunrise? It also appears today in the seconds that witnessed your sunset in Jenin.

A quarter of a century ago, I was a different wave on the screen, a steady, vibrating voice, an objective constant, discreet with information, and details, vibrating with emotion, like a basil bunch, a cactus plant, or an olive seedling messing with the soil, to rise and rise every time, every word, and every line. .

All the details over the course of a quarter of a century, I presented them with calculated words, not resonant, not bright in color, not specific inclination, but always clear and precise, but the chanting tells us that you are with the elderly, the widow, the old man, with the child, the boy, with the sheikh, and the priest, with The teacher and the doctor, but you conceal it. Professionalism is one thing, emotions are one thing, the truth is intended, and privacy is preserved.

It was destined that Jenin would be given the pleasant title of "Geningrad", after its long steadfastness 20 years ago in the crowds of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, its noise, its violence, and its flames. At the gates of Geningrad.

It was decided that the bullet should be fired to hit Shirin Abu Aqleh, so Guevara struck Al-Badiri, harassing Walid Al-Omari, and burning the archives of Al-Dahdouh and his comrades in Gaza was not enough, so the message must be direct.

The language of bullets in the face of words from the beginning, but the word was in the beginning, and therefore it is the one who deserves immortality, its bearers rightly deserve immortality, and whoever stands in its way will be burned, so who stands in the way of truth and truth?

Sherine concealed her case in her objectivity, so the chests of the free were the graves of secrets, and she let her words come out objectively.

Shirin flashed in the light, and the murderer will remain a prisoner of his darkness and his crime. Whoever stands in the way of truth and light will be burned, the righteous will inherit the land, and the wicked will have remorse.

The voice of truth will continue to cry out in the wilderness, supply the hungry with its bread, and the thirsty with its water, until the day of salvation of the earth comes, and the rest of the people, so that their pleasure may be complete.

The ancient story of Jenin is being repeated today, and its extension is Shirin Nasri Abu Aqleh. “Shirin Grad” is a complete city of steadfastness, starting from the momentum of Lake Tiberias, the presence of the vineyards of Galilee, passing through the strength of Acre, the stability of Jerusalem’s olives, the ancient arches of Sebastia, the depth of the Grotto of the Nativity, the elegance of the bricks of Nazareth, and the spaciousness Marj Ibn Amer, the glory of Jabal al-Tur, and the stories of Gaza and its shore.

This is the largest decline recorded since the start of the Russian attack on Ukraine on February 24, when markets fell by 33%.


On that day, $190 billion evaporated in one day, and the stock exchange decided the next day to suspend most of its activities for several weeks.


Since then, the Russian Central Bank imposed strict control over transactions in the markets, especially over the currencies in circulation.


The share of the Russian giant Gazprom, which is mostly controlled by the Russian state, declined, on Tuesday, by 10.56%, against the backdrop of a new escalation between Moscow and Kiev.


The price of the ruble, which has improved for several months, has not changed against the dollar and the euro, and the dollar is still trading at about 60 rubles.

American actor Jeremy Renner is "confused" after an accident in the snow

LOS ANGELES - (AFP) - American actor Jeremy Renner said he was "confused" following an accident in the snow in front of his home in Nevada.


The 50-year-old movie star was taken to hospital Sunday morning after he was injured when a snowplow he was using to remove snow rolled in front of his home.


Renner posted a picture on his Instagram account on Tuesday showing him inside a hospital and his face appears swollen, commenting, "Thank you all for all your kind messages. I'm so confused I can't write, but I send my love to all of you."


His manager, Sam Mast, explained that the actor underwent surgery. He said that Renner "is still in intensive care and his condition is delicate but stable," noting that the actor "shows improvement, is having talks, and his spirits are high."


The results of the preliminary investigation showed that there were no traces of drugs or alcohol associated with the incident, which the authorities described as a "tragic accident" during a press conference on Tuesday.


Officer Darren Balam explained that the investigation is continuing due to the "serious injuries" suffered by the actor, and it is being ascertained whether the snow plow broke down while the actor was using it.


He pointed out that the sweeper, which is of the "Bestin Poly" brand and weighs about six tons, began to roll and hit the actor while he was "trying to get back into the driver's seat" in it.


Renner, 51, has been nominated for two Oscars for his roles in "The Hurt Locker" and "The Town."
He also appeared as Clint Barton, also known as the superhero Hawkeye, in a number of Marvel films.

The US Attorney General says he "personally approved" the search warrant for Trump's home

Washington - (AFP) - US Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday that he had "personally approved" the search warrant for former President Donald Trump 's Florida residence, and condemned "baseless attacks" against the FBI following the unprecedented move.


Garland did not explain the reason for the search, but stressed that there was a "probable cause" and said that he had asked the court to publish the case documents.


"I personally approved the decision to obtain the search warrant in this case," Graland said in a press conference, stressing that "the ministry does not take such a decision lightly."


The raid, which was carried out by the FBI, called for conflicting reactions in light of a sharp political division and at a time when the American billionaire is evaluating the possibility of running for the next presidential election.


Senior Republicans rushed to show support for the former president, who was not present in Mar-a-Lago when the raid was carried out.
Mike Pence, Trump's former vice president and potential 2024 challenger, expressed "deep concern" about the search of Trump's home and said it showed "partisanship" on the part of the Justice Department.


And Thursday, Dan Garland, "baseless attacks on the professionalism of FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors."


Since his term ended, Trump remains the most divisive figure, noting that he is still very popular in the Republican Party and insists on his claim that he is the winner of the 2020 elections.


And on Wednesday, Trump appeared before New York Attorney General Letitia James, who had opened a civil investigation in 2019 involving him, his daughter Ivanka, and his son Donald Jr.


Trump remained silent during the hearing, which was held on suspicion of financial fraud in his business group.


"I declined to answer questions, in accordance with the rights and powers granted by the United States Constitution to every American citizen," he said in a statement.


A civil investigation was opened against the Trump family group following the resounding testimony that Michael Cohen, one of Trump's personal lawyers, made before Congress, revealing fraudulent valuations, up or down, of the group's assets to obtain loans, tax cuts or greater compensation from insurance companies. .


Trump is under the scrutiny of investigators due to his efforts to overturn the election results in 2020 and his suspected involvement in the attack on the Capitol in January 2021.

Hezbollah announces its support for Suleiman Franjieh's accession to the presidency in Lebanon

Beirut - (AFP) - Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah announced on Monday his party's support for former deputy and minister Suleiman Franjieh 's accession to the presidency in Lebanon, after more than four months of vacancy in the position in the country mired in an accelerating economic collapse.


"The natural candidate that we support in the presidential elections, and we consider that the specifications we take into account apply to him, is Minister Suleiman Franjieh," Nasrallah said in a speech he delivered on screen during a party celebration in honor of his party's wounded and prisoners.


Nasrallah stressed that Franjieh is a candidate supported by Hezbollah, but he is not the party's candidate, adding, "We seriously want to elect a president for the republic, and we do not want a vacuum."


This is the first time that Hezbollah, the most prominent political and military force in the country, has publicly declared its support for Franjieh's accession to the presidency, although it has been rumoring for months that it is its unannounced candidate and will work to obstruct the completion of the electoral process to ensure his success.


In 2016, former President Michel Aoun, who is considered one of the party's most prominent Christian allies, reached the presidency with the clear support of the party, after a vacancy that lasted two and a half years, and based on a political settlement between the party and its opponents.
On Monday, Nasrallah acknowledged that his party and its allies had obstructed the quorum until Aoun was elected.


Frangieh, 57, is a former deputy and minister, and is among Hezbollah's prominent allies. He is a personal friend of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. His name is often put forward as a candidate at every presidential election.


With the party announcing its support, Franjieh became the second candidate for the presidency after Representative Michel Moawad (50 years old), who announced his participation in the presidential race. Hezbollah describes him as a "challenging" candidate due to his closeness to the Americans.


Moawad and Franjieh hail from the predominantly Maronite Christian region of Zgharta in northern Lebanon. Neither of them has so far a majority that guarantees his access to parliament.


In previous sessions, Moawad won the support of many anti-Hezbollah blocs, including the Lebanese Forces, the most prominent Christian party, the Lebanese Kataeb and the Progressive Socialist Party led by Druze leader Walid Jumblatt and some independents.


Parliament has failed since the end of President Michel Aoun's term at the end of October, during the 11 sessions it held to elect a president, amid a political division between a party that supports Hezbollah and another that opposes it, and discrepancies within each team, and the presence of a number of independents.
Since January 19, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri has not set a date for a new election session.


The presidential vacancy is accompanied by legislative stagnation, while the country is led by a caretaker government with limited powers. This disrupts decision-making mechanisms at all levels, while the country has plunged since the fall of 2019 into an unprecedented economic collapse, which the World Bank ranked among the worst in the world.


The authorities have so far failed to implement reforms required by the international community to provide support in order to stop the bleeding.


The International Monetary Fund announced in April that it had reached a preliminary agreement with Lebanon on a $3 billion aid plan over four years. However, its implementation is linked to the authorities’ commitment to implement prior reforms, including the unification of exchange rates.

Americans are heading to the elections amid an unprecedented division and an unknown future

Washington - "Jerusalem" dot com - Saeed Erekat - As the American midterm elections campaign ends at the end of Monday, November 7, and American voters who did not cast their ballots early after seven o'clock in the morning (on the eastern shore) rushed to the polls, on Tuesday November 8, the United States is looking forward to a confusing future, and it is divided in an unprecedented way, on both sides of two ideological mountains separated by a deep valley that will be difficult to bridge in the near future.

The Democrats concluded their election campaign while facing the "nightmare" scenario, as they called it, on the eve of the elections, as economic concerns cast a shadow over the issues that the party tried to make its main issues, such as the issue of abortion or the issue of American democracy, which is threatened by the far-right control of the Republican Party's agenda.

On the other hand, the Republicans feel that they are holding a happy referendum on Joe Biden's faltering presidency and the failure to tame the inflation that ate everything.

As the last hurdles to mobilize voters ended, hopes that the Democratic President's Party could use a majority to overturn the Supreme Court's veto of the right to abortion and a wave of legislative victories to head off a classic midterm defeat for the incumbent party (as is the Democratic Party) faded. President Biden faces a bleak political environment due to the highest living (inflation) in 40 years and his hopes for a quick recovery next year are clouded by growing fears of a recession.

On the eve of the election, Democrats risk losing control of the House of Representatives as Republicans increasingly hope for a majority, not only in the 435-member House but also in the 100-member Senate, which would put Biden under siege by Republican majority as he begins his bid for re-election and with former President Donald Trump likely preparing to announce his intention to run in the 2024 presidential election.

Some experts advise against considering the victory of the Republican Party as a foregone conclusion, especially since there is ambiguity in the sincerity or accuracy of recent opinion polls, which may mean that no one can be sure of the size of the Republican Party wave (dubbed the red wave), especially since some believe that there is still a possibility In front of the Democratic Party to hold on to the Senate even if the House of Representatives loses. Note that the manner in which each side spoke on the eve of the election, in areas defended by the Democrats, provides a clear picture of the momentum of the Republican Party.

The politically divided American nation, united only by dissatisfaction with its path, is used to using the midterm elections again and again to punish the party that wields the most power. This means that the Democrats are the most exposed this time around.

And if the president's party suffers a defeat, if not overwhelming, there will be a lot of finger-pointing by Democrats at each other about the messaging strategy that Biden has adopted on inflation, a force that negatively affects because of the holes it has created in the budgets of tens of millions of American families. .

Expectations in the House of Representatives

The current Democratic majority in the House of Representatives on the eve of the elections (8/11/22) consists of 220 members compared to 212 for the Republican Party (out of 435 and three members do not belong to any party), and experts believe that the Republicans will win 16 additional seats to become a majority of 228, which he will lose Democrats to become a minority of 204, according to the latest Pew Institute poll released last Saturday evening.

Expectations in the Senate:

The Senate currently consists of 100 members, 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, but according to the US Constitution, the Vice President gives her vote to the Democratic Party, what it gave (and gives it a majority) and chairs all committees. And there are 35 members out of 100 running for their elections this cycle, and all that the Democrats hope is to preserve the current numbers 50 to 50 and the presidency of Vice President Camilla Harris until the end of President Biden’s term in 2024 so that he can pass some decisions.

Hot battles in the Senate:

There are four hot electoral battles in the Senate contests: First, the state of Pennsylvania in the northeastern United States, where the conservative Republican and supporter of former President Donald Trump, Mehmet Oz, who is of Turkish-Muslim descent, is competing with the deputy governor of Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, an American Jew, And the race still looks even.

In the state of Georgia, the race rages between the current senator for the Democratic Party, Raphael Warnack, who is a black priest, and between the Republican and the black American football player, Herschel Walker, who has no experience other than his adoption of conservative Republican principles no more, which made the two contestants They are so equal that it is difficult to reach decisive results after the end of the elections on Tuesday.

The third decisive state, is the state of Arizona in the American West, between the current Democratic member (former astronaut) Mark Kelly and his rival Blake Masters, who has a small percentage of his Democratic rival, according to the Republican Party's claim.

The decisive fourth state, Nevada, is between the current Democratic member, Catherine Cousteau Masto of Mexican descent, and her Republican rival, Adam Laxault, and reports indicate that they are also currently equal with the start of Tuesday's vote.

There is also a fifth semi-decisive state, New Hampshire in the northeast, where liberal Senator Maggie Hassan is competing against Republican Don Bolduc, a far-right supported by former President Trump, but she (Maggie Hassan) maintains a very slight advantage over him. Works for Maggie Hassan's rival, state governor, Chris Sununu, of Palestinian origin, whose father was John Sununu, governor of the state in the eighties of the last century before becoming chief of staff to President George H.W. Maggie Hassan.

Experts believe that President Biden's insistence, as he did last Thursday, in emphasizing the threat Trump poses to American political institutions, has not produced the desired positive results, since this essentially requires voters to prioritize the historical basis of the American political system over their most immediate economic concerns. .

This message, which resonates powerfully in Washington, D.C., where the scars of the Capitol rebellion led by former President Trump, on January 6, 2021, while important, do not concern many Americans in difficult economic conditions, where democracy seems like an esoteric concept. Far beyond the daily struggle of feeding a family and being able to afford the commute to work.

From Pennsylvania to Arizona, the return to normality after the Covid-19 nightmare that Biden promised remains elusive for many as the economic fallout from the once-in-a-century health emergency still looms large.

As night turned into day Tuesday, the difficult political environment for Democrats was revealed in a CNN/SSRS poll conducted last week, showing that about 51% of likely voters think the economy is the main issue in determining their vote, while 15% said Just that abortion is their primary issue, a finding that explains how the electoral battlefield tilts on Election Day.
