Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday celebrating the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

What is Hanukkah? Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, also known as the Temple Mount. The holiday lasts for eight days and nights, with each night dedicated to a different part of the story. According to Jewish tradition, when the Maccabees reclaimed their holy temple from Antiochus IV Epiphanes, they found only one container of oil left. Miraculously, this single container lasted for eight days and nights, allowing them to rededicate their temple.

What does Hanukkah mean? Hanukkah means “dedication” or “inauguration” in Hebrew. It’s also sometimes referred to as Chanukah or Channuka. However you spell it, it’s celebrated by lighting candles on an eight-branch menorah every night during the festival.

Starbucks has been accused of failing to hire enough black and ethnic minority employees.

Starbucks is facing a boycott from customers who claim the coffee chain is racist for failing to employ enough black and ethnic minority workers. The coffee giant has faced criticism after its annual report revealed that just 8.8% of its workforce are from ethnic minorities, compared with the UK average of 14%. The company also came under fire for its decision to close all stores on May 29th for racial bias training, which it said was inspired by the arrest of two black men at one of its Philadelphia branches in April 2018.

A number of high-profile figures have called on their social media followers to boycott Starbucks as a result. These include TV host Piers Morgan, rapper Talib Kweli and activist Shaun King. However, others have come out in support of Starbucks’ decision to train staff on racial bias.

The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2019 found that women are still paid less than men in the majority of countries.

The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2019 has found that women are still paid less than men in the majority of countries. The report, which measures how equitably nations divide their resources and opportunities between women and men, has also found that the gap is widest in health and survival. In this article, we’ll look at some of the reasons why the gender pay gap exists and why it is widening.

Why do women earn less than men?

The first reason for a gender pay gap is that women are more likely to work part-time or be self-employed. This means they’re not working as many hours as their male counterparts and don’t have as much experience or time to gain promotions. They’re also more likely to take time out of work for child care or maternity leave, which can affect their earning potential later on.

Research by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) shows that female managers are promoted at half the rate of male colleagues – with just one in eight senior management roles held by women.
