HOOVERVILLE

HOOVERVILLE

Me pregunta Cristina a que se refiere un manifestante en Wall Street acerca de "now they are building "hoovervilles" around New York.
El término "hooverville", se refiere a barrios marginales, en condicones precarias. 
El término viene de el presidente Herbert Hoover, quien mandó construir esas áreas.
Podemos traducir como "barrios de chabolas". 

EASTER SUNDAY


EASTER SUNDAY

Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the March Equinox.
People who regularly attend church often attend special services on Easter Sunday. These may be longer or more elaborate than on other Sundays. In churches, it is generally a festive occasion with an emphasis on the dawn of a new life. In Battersea Park in London, there is a large Easter parade.
Easter is an important time for the confectionery industry. In the United Kingdom, Easter eggs are often large hollow chocolate eggs filled with bonbons or other candy.
Many people celebrate Easter Sunday by decorating, exchanging or searching for eggs. The eggs may be fresh or boiled eggs laid by chickens or other birds, chocolate eggs or eggs made of other materials. Many children believe that the Easter bunny or rabbit comes to their house or garden to hide eggs. They may search for these eggs or find that the Easter bunny has left them in an obvious place.
