Kony 2012 : Stop Kony

Hey Everyone,

I have seen this on the internet for several days in a row, about this project of making Joseph Kony, an African war criminal who abducts children from their homes making them killers and sexual slaves to maintain his army the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army), "famous" so that everyone get to know the atrocities he has committed for over 2 decades and to let him know that the international police has put a price on his head, not a monetary price but a price which will determine the end of abusive ruling and heart-less crimes to make the world that we live in a better place for ourself and our children.

It is not nice to have to run from place to place with the fear of getting caught and killed if you escaped his Army. These children have the right to a better future and to a life worth living with no abuse and slaughtering. No other person has the Ultimate word on whether you should live or die.

Think about yourself, running from a person who wants to kill you and your siblings or abduct you to force you commit horrible acts such as killing your own parents, the people who love you the most on the whole planet in order to fulfil his mindless, cold hearted desires.

That's what this project is all about. Ending this Horrible era that was little to no known few years back. A short Film/Documentary has aired in the most popular social networks and has become viral in just few days, it was published on March 5th 2012 and has over 26 million views. The Invisible Children Organization was formed in response to the LRA and its horrific acts. It has been working to end the armed conflict for 9 years and gained a great response with the documentary mentioned previously. If you haven't seen it yet here it is, it is long but very explanatory and very moving:

Style Segment: From the 1910 to 1920's

Hey Guys! 

Style is a huge part of our world. It has been a dynamic environment since the beginning of times and has evolved and transcended to history. I have always wandered what has made it change so much and why some styles are coming back these days. Is it because before there was more of a sense of what was correct for the society and seemed more classy and elegant? Maybe we can find this out through the history of style. 

In the time of 1910 all the way through 1920, the style changed more rapidly due to the different  events all the way from the World War I to the sinking of the Titanic. Corsets were rapidly eliminated from the wardrobe scene of women and instead more lose and less fitted because women had to start doing the jobs their men left behind to go fight the war. 

Some other influences started to come their way, like the long tunics of the eastern nations and the colours and designs from them had a space built for the occidental societies. The skirts where some flowy and some very tight that they could't walk normally, instead they had to take small steps so that the fabric wont reap. 

The shoes went on a different transformation and the stitching and the decorative buttons were present. Hats and scarves and umbrellas to protect from the sun were so in style that had a special section in every women's closet. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, it's part of a series, if you can notice I have tons of them coming your way.
