Men’s Egyptian League gets its first woman as main ref + Is everyone burned out?

The Egyptian League just got its first woman main referee: 30-year-old Shahenda El Maghrabi became the first woman to be the main referee in a men’s Egyptian League match, according to Ahram Online. The former Alexandrian football player became a referee in 2014 before being recognized by FIFA as an international referee in 2016. Her first match was Tuesday’s 0-0 draw between Smouha and Pharco. El Maghrabi — or “Collina,” as her colleagues call her in reference to Pierluigi Collina, the FIFA’s Referees Committee head and previous referee himself — took to Instagram after the historic moment to thank her supporters and reflect on years of hard work and sacrifice.


Depression and burnout have become increasingly prevalent — to the point where many are unable to differentiate between the two: Burnout, which is now included in the World Health Organization’s diagnostic manual as an “occupational phenomenon,” and depression, a long standing medical condition, can both create stress that leads to similar symptoms. The two conditions can result in feeling depleted or cynical about your job, resenting tasks and colleagues, feeling increasingly irritated and inefficient or like you’ve lost control over your daily life, as well as physical symptoms including disruptions to regular sleep schedules, headaches and gastrointestinal issues, the New York Times says, citing clinicians and researchers.

Key differentiators: Broadly speaking, the key difference between depression and burnout is the relative impermanence of burnout, with some changes in circumstances typically resolving the problem. For example, getting away from work with a vacation to recharge and decompress, or regularly including edmeds24.com outside of work such as exercise can help alleviate or stave off burnout. Depression, on the other hand, doesn’t go away just by changing your day-to-day activities or circumstances, clinicians say.
