Another typical feature of Liuli Glass are it’s bubbles. Liuli Glass work always contains bubbles trapped inside during the high-temperature firing process. Since the bubbles are random in number and location, some artists feel they add to the uniqueness of each piece and give it some life of its own.

ESOTERIC ART:

When Yang started sculpting, she said she had no idea what to make, and it was Chang who suggested she start with a Buddha statue. From then until now, she has continued to sculpt Buddhist figures. Initially, she had no religious ties with Buddhism, but over the years her work has brought her closer to the religion. Now, the way she speaks suggests that creating Buddhist iconography is like an esoteric form of religious practice to her.

"When I am sculpting Buddha's face I try to feel his attributes, his calmness and clear mindedness. Just like in meditation, it is a form of meditation for me. I comprehend the teachings of the Buddha now and I also realize there are some teachings that provide me with direction in life, she said, reciting scripture from a Buddhist sutra. "`When the moment comes and I attend the enlightenment my body and my soul become like crystal -- transparent, pure and flawless.' When I first read this I began to think it would be possible for me to use glass as a medium to teach the philosophy of Buddhism."

I am so glad to write about LifeStraw. It is a great example that reminds us that there are poor nations in many continents , especially in Africa who are fighting with diseases which is a direct result of dirty water sources.

LifeStraw is an instrument which instantly purifies the water and makes it ready to drink with the chromatographic techniques and other well-known filter methods. A single personal LifeStraw gadget can process 700 liters of water in a year and usage life is 3 years. 2 liters a day is a great start to develop such products for future.

There are two models : Personal and family. The difference is that even though family model is capable of removing all heavy metals, viruses, parasites, bacteria even in really muddy, over dirty water, personal Lifestraw model doesn't filter heavy metals and some parasites. Family model can process 15,000 litres of water in a year, with life time of 2 years. Approximately 20 liters / day for a typical family is great helper for African families. 

I understand that personal model is for extreme situations but I would like to see that personal model will also clear all dangerous things to health for perfection.

Well, I think LifeStraw can be a great symbol for developing Africa and actually aid concerts can be made to provide these life saving gadgets for families to people who need.

The LifeStraw was studied and tested by the University of North Carolina and developed by Vestergaard Frandsen of Switzerland and the USA with a mission of addressing disease control issues.

My congratulations to honest scientists who are thinking and working for a better world !
