Why do Students from China Come to Study in Russia
The Chinese government encourages young people to study abroad, considering training of students into highly qualified specialists as one of the strategic priorities in the modernization of the country. Today, about 20,000 Chinese students are studying in Russia. In view of the intensive bilateral economic cooperation, which demands well-trained specialists, and the fact that the governments of both countries intend to develop close partnership in the future, China is going to use the services of Russian universities more. In the nearest future China is planning to increase the number of their students studying in Russia up to 35-40 thousand annually.
Of 5, 000 foreign students studying in Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University today, almost one third are the students from China. Vice-Rector for International Relations of SPbPU D.G. Arseniev notes that Chinese students work very hard, continuing, so to say, the traditions established by their grandparents, who were the students and post-graduate students of Leningrad Polytechnic Institute named after M.I. Kalinin (that's how the University was called then) in the 1950s. "We understand that today's Chinese students will become our partners in business, science and politics in the future, and then their decisions will affect the vector of the cooperation between our countries. Therefore, it's very important to ensure that more Chinese young people come to study in our University, that they get a high quality education and become our friends," says Dmitry Germanovich.
Why do they come to get a higher education in our country? Firstly, our education traditionally has a large scientific and educational potential and a high level of some technologies that China would like to adopt. Secondly, it is the financial component - for training in Russia today is cheaper than in the West. Thirdly, it is simply the interest in Russia itself, a country with a rich culture whose history is intertwined with the history of China. But what was the crucial factor for each of them to decide where to study, and how they feel as students of the leading technical university in Russia? The current students of the Polytechnic University answered these questions themselves.
Shen Tsian, a 3rd-year student of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU:
- My hometown is Hunchun which is not far from Vladivostok. From the Jurchen language (one of the many Chinese dialects - Ed. Note) the name of the city means "borderland". There always have been a lot of Russians in our city: someone was coming on tours, others – to work. I often heard Russian speech on the streets, and at some moment I realized that I wanted to understand it. In China, I managed to enter the Department of the Russian Language, but I understood that the only place where you can learn Russian is Russia. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University actively develops an interesting field of studying - "Economics and Management in Power Engineering" – that's why I decided to enter this department.
Now I live in a dormitory of the Polytechnic University and I can say that it's great! First of all, it's a good chance to meet people from different cultures, though sometimes there can be very strange cultural differences. For example, my African friends eat with their hands, so I also tried it, but it's so inconvenient... As for the Russian dishes, most of all I love mashed potatoes and solyanka, a thick soup of meat and vegetables. I like white nights in St. Petersburg, this time of the year my friends and I very often go for long walks around the city.
After getting Bachelor's degree, I would like to continue my education in the Polytechnic University, then to work in Russia for several years and after that to return to China.
Tien Vo, a 1st-year student of the Institute of Computer Science and Technology of SPbPU:
- I started to learn the Russian language when I was still in China at the age of 12. This decision was made together with my parents, because the relationships between Russia and China only get stronger with time, and the knowledge of the Russian language will help me to find a good job in the future. But if I was getting a higher education in China, I could study either Russian or only computer science, both of which are very interesting for me. In the Polytechnic University I have a chance to learn everything at the same time. And in general, I've chosen St. Petersburg because it is very beautiful: in my free time I love walking around the city and taking pictures.
I study at the Institute of Computer Science and Technology, because I've always been fond of programming. But now this subject is the most difficult: may be because I'm a girl, and, as it is believed, the girls are not very good at logical thinking, though my favorite subject is Mathematics. In general, there are some differences between the Chinese and Russian education systems but not very big. We have similar subjects, such as Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry. But in China, for example, we rarely do laboratory works because we have too many people, there is just no possibility.
For six years of having been studying the Russian language, I've become inspired by Russian culture, so I can say I got used to many of your traditions. The latest thing that really surprised me was Maslenitsa celebration (Pancake Week) with mass festivities, especially when people were climbing a high oily pole – they were doing it so skillfully! My favorite dish is Olivier salad and, though I can't make it, my boyfriend is great at making this salad, he is an American. My plans for the future are to receive a diploma here, and then to continue my studies either in Russia, China or the United States. And, of course, to find a good job.
Dun Hunpan, a 3rd-year student of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU:
- I've dreamed to study in Russia for a long time, so when I graduated from the Institute of the Russian Language in China, where I received a higher professional education in "International Trade", I decided to study at the Polytechnic University. By the way, it is very popular in China. My relatives also helped me to make up my mind. For example, my uncle is a businessman, his company has good relations with Russian companies. I worked and practiced in his company, and I really liked it, and I realized it was just for me. And moreover, there are many beautiful girls in Russia, so it is also a weighty argument to study here (laughs).
The dormitory in the Polytechnic University is very comfortable, the rooms are much more spacious than in China. Here we meet the students from around the world, and it's a great chance to learn the history and culture of other countries. For example, I have many friends from Africa, my roommate is Vietnamese, and my best friend is from Turkmenistan. We often cook national dishes for each other, but what I like most is Russian doughnuts.
In Russia there are a lot of amazing customs, which I don't understand. For example, if you forgot something and returned home, you should look in the mirror. Or when a black cat ran across your road, you have to spit three times over your left shoulder.
After graduation, I'm planning to stay in Russia or in one of the CIS countries and develop Russian-Chinese business. And as for Chinese students I strongly advise them to come to Russia not only to receive good education, but also to learn Russian culture and to socialize with Russian people - it's really great fun!
U Tszyalyan studies at the preparatory department of the Institute of International Educational Programs of SPbPU:
- I made up my mind to study in Russia after I had read Russian literature. I read "Anna Karenina" and "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy, Pushkin's poems, prose of Dostoyevsky and Gorky. These books inspired me to study the Russian language and culture of your country. I've been learning Russian only for five months and the most difficult part for me so far is grammar. The studies take a lot of time, so at the weekend, mostly only Sundays, I love to play the flute, and walk around the beautiful city of St. Petersburg. Of all the Russian dishes I really like pancakes with chicken and mushrooms, I don't know how to cook them, but I love eating them (Laughs)!
In the Polytechnic University I met and made friends with many Russian students and I also realized that we are very different. For example, if in China several people have lunch in a café, as a rule, one person pays for everyone, and in Russia everybody pays for themselves. There are many differences, but it is so much fun!
Tan Sui Wei, a 2nd-year post-graduate student of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU:
- I got my Master's degree in Beijing, and my scientific supervisor highly recommended to continue training in my major (it's oil and gas industry) in St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Now I'm studying at the Department of Economics and Management in Power Engineering and at the same time continuing to learn the Russian language in the Institute of International Educational Programs, as I want to get a certificate of the second level. In general, I've been in Russia for 2.5 years, I started learning Russian at Moscow State University. My parents, especially the father, who dearly loves Russia, supported my desire to study here. He said: "As long as you're young, it's high time to get to know the world!"
In St. Petersburg I was most of all impressed by the celebration of school graduates "Scarlet Sails". The majestic Neva river, the old ship with scarlet sails, beautiful music and fireworks – it's a truly unforgettable experience! After graduating from the Polytechnic University I may continue to study in the USA. But, to tell the truth, I'd like to go back to my university in China, and become a professor there.
Yui Chenlun, a 1st-year post-graduate student of the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade of SPbPU:
- In the Polytechnic University I've been studying for many years, I got my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in this university. Then I decided to continue my post-graduate studies here as well. I like to study in Russia: the exams here are mostly oral, unlike the Chinese education system. And one more convenient thing, in my opinion, is that in Russia the highest score is 5, while in China it's 100.
As for my decision to study in Russia, it was my Russian friend, whom I met in China, who recommended me to study in here. I was choosing between the universities of St. Petersburg and Moscow, but St. Petersburg conquered me with its beauty. I even worked as a city guide – I was telling the Chinese tourists about the North Palmyra. My favorite place in the city is the Colonnade of St. Isaac's Cathedral, which opens the best view of the historic center of the city.
In my free time I like to visit various museums: the Russian Museum, the Zoological Museum, the Kunstkamera Museum, the Museum of Transport, and of course, the Hermitage. However, having been here for so many years, I haven't visited all the rooms of the Hermitage. But I studied the history of Russia very well: my favorite period is the period of the Russian Empire. I can tell a lot about the life of Russian emperors from Peter I to Nicholas II.
My favorite Russian dishes are sausage and solyanka. What surprises me here? Well, perhaps, very little already (Laughs). Maybe, the fact that on the escalator everyone is supposed to stand on the right - in China you can stand wherever you like, and also in Russia you're not supposed to speak loudly in public places.
After graduation, if I don't find the job I like here, I'll go back to China and find the job connected with Russia there.

La La Anthony Feels Misrepresented as Afro-Latina in Hollywood
La La Anthony has been hard at work focusing on new projects and most notably, her acting career. She currently stars in the drama series POWER, which is in its fourth season, and she's also coming fresh off the set of Furlough starring Whoopi Goldberg. Nearly two decades after stepping into the entertainment industry, the Puerto-Rican actress still faces the challenge of finding her place in Hollywood as an Afro-Latina.
"I definitely don't feel like I'm what Hollywood thinks of when they think of a Latina actress at all," Anthony told Latina, "They can't wrap their minds around it. I actually speak Spanish fluently. The industry just hasn't been thinking outside the box when it comes to Latina women."
She continued, "We come in all colors. My grandfather was extremely dark and from Puerto Rico, but his brother had blond hair and blue eyes. There are so many different shades, and I think Hollywood has yet to realize that."
The former MTV VJ, whose maiden name is Vasquez, has always been open to discussing her background and the reality of people questioning her race. She has made Puerto Rican Day parade appearances and ensures that her son learns Spanish and the Latino culture.
In June, fellow actress Dascha Polanco from Orange Is the New Black also spoke about the hardships of being an Afro-Latina in Hollywood telling Vivala, "We have to be 'Fake Latinas.' And here's the thing about 'Fake Latinas' – when you look at Latinas who are succeeding in Hollywood, they're super thin, and you really can't tell if she's Latina or not."

A smart tip for all people with credit cards is to request copies credit report copies. It's free, and you want to be certain that all the information is correct. Match your debts on the report to make sure that you are being charged with no mistakes.
When you get new credit cards, you will need to keep the credit account open for at least several years. You should refrain from switching to another credit card account unless it is unavoidable situation. The amount of time you have accounts open impacts your credit rating. An essential part of increasing your credit score is to keep your accounts open whenever possible.
Accurate recording of your monthly credit card spending is important. Even inexpensive impulse purchases often add up very quickly. You may not notice until your statement arrives that you have a large amount to pay and not enough income to pay it!
When you have several active credit cards, you should pick one to pay off fully on a monthly basis. Your other cards may have high debt, but paying off one select card in full each month helps to build stronger credit.
Those with secured credit cards may be able to upgrade to an unsecured card if you have been in good standing for some time. At that time, you'll see mail offers start coming in. This is the time when you have decisions to make, so that you can re-evaluate the situation.
If you're paying a high APR on your cards, see if you can get it lowered. In many cases, they will oblige. Each time you do not pay off your balance, you will save money.
Keep a tally of your credit card charges, and post it in a prominent spot of your home. This will show you how much you are spending and what exactly that money is going to. We often end up spending way too much before we know it, when this could have been prevented by self-monitoring.
Use cards that you do not want to lose. Many companies automatically close inactive credit card accounts. The only thing you can do to make sure that your credit cards remain open is to utilize those cards on a regular basis. Don't forget to make payments in full so that you can avoid being in debt.
Before accepting a balance transfer read the contract fully. Understand what the interest rate will revert to after the initial introductory rate. Many times low introductory rates revert to high interest rates once the introductory period is over. Always do your homework, so you know where you will be going with these cards.
When you lose a credit card, you need to inform the credit card company as soon as you possibly can that the card is missing. If a thief uses your card prior to the theft being reported, you might end up paying for whatever they purchased. Once you have reported your card as missing, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized usage.
Tell the credit card company if you're planning to travel or make large purchases with your card. If you want to make a large purchase, or have an international trip planned, let your card company know what to expect. This prevents the company from blocking transactions due to suspected identity theft.
Credit cards offer great benefits when you learn to use them strategically and responsibly. Flexibility, stability, rewards, and peace of mind can all be yours with a credit card. Intelligently applying the information from this article will allow you to use your credit cards properly.

Welcome to our homepage, the right place to search for Malaysian coffee, especially on information, products and pricing of Malaysian coffee. You can browse through our product page for wide range of coffee products that produce over the years of our establishment. We are specialised in coffee products such as Ipoh White Coffee, 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 instant coffee, white coffee cappuccino, kopi 'o' powder, coffee o in bag, chocolate coffee mix, white coffee Tongkat Ali, white coffee tarik, and so on.
Malaysian coffee, also known as "kopi," has a strong authentic and aromatic taste. Made by pouring boiling water through grounds held in a socks-like cloth filter, it's thick, strong and bitter, and is drunk hot or iced, usually mellowed with sweetened condensed milk.
Liberica coffee was introduced and widely planted in Malaysia was then Malaya, in the early days of 1870's. The unique flavour of Malaysia's Liberica coffee cannot be matched by any other coffee in the world.
Malaysia's total harvest of Liberica coffee - mostly from Johor, Selangor and Sabah - is less than one per cent of the world total coffee production.
The unique flavours of our coffee are very much sought-after by coffee connoisseurs in the Middle East, Japan, Europe and Southeast Asia. Liberica is best used for traditional kopi-O, but it is now equally good if not better for espresso blends.
Malaysian kopi's distinctive burnt flavor comes from the butter (today, often margarine) and sugar that the beans are roasted with. That process was developed to mask the harshness of the Liberica bean.

Shocking News - Oct. 2019
Hello Shocking Gasp fans! It's time for another news update, coming in just a teeeeeeny bit late (sorry!).
Convention Schedule
The year is winding down, but there's one more chance for you to meet us at a convention. The entire cast will be attending AcadeCon in Dayton, Ohio on November 9th. Scott the DM will be hosting two events named "Temple of the Lizardfolk" based on the Episode 3 & 4 dungeon. As of this writing, only the 4pm session has seats open, so act fast if you wanna play!
The convention road map is wide open for next year. If you're attending a Con and would like to see us there, let us know! We're totaly open to getting out more and meeting all you wonderful people! As of right now, chances are very high that we'll attend the following:
Patreon Completion Update
Patreon changed their fee schedule a few months back, and anyone who entered would be grandfathered in on the old (read: better) rates. So we made a Patron with a lone (read: minimum) $1 no reward tier. From the start, we told ourselves we wouldn't push a Patreon until we had fans asking for one. We had the account so we'd have the better deal, but it wouldn't be used until you, the fans, told us it was time.
Well, here we are a year in and we've had two fans go and join all on their own! And we've had a few more be very vocal in their intended support should we make one. So it looks like it's time to put it to use!
New tiers will be uploaded next month. Potential rewards include swag bags, bonus content episodes, access to our Discord server, and more! We've put a lot of thought and hard work into it and we hope you all enjoy what we have to offer. Keep your eyes and ears open in the next few weeks for more details!
We have an official monthly newsletter! if you're interested in receiving this, please visit our website and subscribe under the Contact section. The newsletter will contain all the same information we put in our monthly Shocking News episode with a little more detail. We'll also include a section with news from the industry to help you see more of what's going on outside of our little show.
Break Announcement
Shocking Gasp will be releasing limited episodes during November and December. We'll use the time to work ahead and retool some of our background processes.
We're not going to blame it all on Jake's new baby, but it is 100% Jake's new baby's fault.
Just kidding. Holidays are a busy time for everyone, and we're not sure we'll have time to record, edit, and release on schedule. Plus, podcasting is hard and we just kinda want a break. Our plan is to release a few teasers for the bonus content you can expect from the Patreon, so we're not leaving you completely high and dry.
We hope you understand, and thank you in advance for your continued support. You truly are some of the best fans we could hope for. We love you all!
The Gasp Cast
Shocking Gasp is a serialized actual play D&D 5e podcast. When an enigmatic being falls from the sky, four strangers investigate and find themselves on the run from a superhuman force. Now they must fight for their survival while attempting to unravel the mystery of who the being was and why they're being hunted. New episodes released every other week on Tuesday at 6am EST. First time listeners advised to start at Episode 1 - Livin' On a Prayer

This was then followed by two prestigious 1-year colorectal fellowships in Professor Ara Darzi's Unit in St Mary's Hospital, London and the world famous Department of Colorectal Surgery at The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio. These fellowships incorporated specialisation in both open and laparoscopic general and colorectal surgery where in addition to major surgery for cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, Mr Smith specialised in surgery for haemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistulas, faecal incontinence, hernia repair, colonoscopy, and learned the latest techniques from world experts.
Now as an established consultant in the UK, Mr Smith has continued to perform a wide array of general and coloproctological surgery but he has also tried to pioneer the best techniques for patients and was one of the first wave of surgeons in the UK to complete training in and perform transanal TME surgery for rectal cancer. He has also developed major experience in colonoscopy and the treatment of rectal bleeding.
In addition to his surgical commitments, Mr Smith has a strong interest in surgical research, in particular investigating minimally invasive and non-operative ("watch and wait") treatment for rectal cancer. In this regard, Mr Smith's research also explores the concept of doing the right procedure for the right patient – in particular for elderly or comorbid patients for whom surgery may not globally be in their best interests. Mr Smith also works closely with The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Merseyside and has ongoing research interests with several international centres of excellence for colorectal cancer care. Currently he has 32 publications in peer-reviewed journals and is a frequently invited speaker at both national and international meetings.
Mr Smith has also won many prizes, fellowships and awards throughout his career, both nationally and internationally.

They are typically screw mounted to ensure a secure a long-lasting and reliable installation though some can be pressed into place where structural lips can hold the catch in place. The catch is fixed at the top of the door and fitted in a hole that has been drilled to secure it tightly.
Materials and finishes vary based on the catch application and can be manufactured in a range of solid, robust materials such as brass, steel, reinforced nylon and a range of plastics to ensure it is reliable and has a long service life. Finished acrylic these different material types varies, metal parts can be plated, the plating reduces the requirement of any maintenance and helps to retain its appearance over time.

Cranberry Sauce Cocktail Recipe
Happy Hour: Cali Mayflower
Call me crazy, but when one's trying to juggle cocktails, appetizers, turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls, and pumpkin pie at the same time, a shortcut or two is definitely in order. When I serve up the usual favorites tomorrow, I'll do so with a twist: expect my guests to (quite literally) savor the meal in their cocktails.
No need to buy extra ingredients for this cocktail; it makes use of what's on hand by calling for cranberry sauce to add sweetness and heft. It's the perfect example of hitting two birds with one stone. That, my fellow cooks, is definitely something to be grateful for.
Get the cranberry cocktail recipe.
Cali Mayflower
From Caliche Rum
- 2 ounces rum
3/4 ounce lime juice
1 ounce sweet cranberry sauce, or more to taste
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Cranberries, for garnish
- Combine the first 3 ingredients in a cocktail shaker over ice, and shake until well chilled. Strain into an ice-filled rocks glass and top with the bitters. Add cranberries for garnish.
Makes 1 drink.

Tour Edge EXS Driver Graphite Design
The tech-loaded EXS driver features a Flight Tuning System (FTS) that includes 9-gram and 3-gram interchangeable weights, an adjustable hosel that allows for plus two or minus two degrees in loft, RollFace Technology for an expanded sweet spot, Dual Carbon Fiber placement for ideal weight distribution and a new and improved SlipStream™ Sole for faster clubhead speed.
The EXS 460cc head features premium Japanese exotic metals; TSP 910 Beta Titanium face plate featuring Variable Face Thickness Technology and a 8-1-1 Titanium chassis. The TSP 910 Beta Titanium face has been made even thinner and lighter in the EXS over previous Exotics driver models to produce a greater spring-like effect.
Engineers paired the superior TSP 910 Beta Titanium face plate with the exceptionally light Carbon Fiber Crown and with additional Carbon Fiber located on the toe of clubhead, allowing weight to be strategically repositioned lower and deeper in the head for optimal spin and creating an extremely high MOI. The Dual Carbon Fiber Technology also helped Tour Edge engineers to significantly improve the acoustics of the driver and enabled them to account for the gram weight of the FTS weights and the adjustable hosel.
A new RollFace Technology incorporates modified bulge and roll on the toe to create straighter shots for shots hit off the toe, which is where the majority of miss-hits with a driver are made. In conjunction with the sweet-spot enhancing Variable Face Thickness technology, the RollFace makes this the most forgiving driver face ever produced by Tour Edge.
The aerodynamics in the EXS driver are greatly enhanced by a more sloping crown and wider speed channels on the sole. The new, more tapered head profile also reduces aerodynamic drag.Graphite Design NO UPCHARGE CUSTOM SHAFTS

When it's time to mic up the drumkit, check out Shure's PG ALTA range of drum microphones.
For as long as we can remember, Shure has been producing a range of microphones that come in at a smaller price point than their premium BETA series, and also smaller than their rock solid SM57 instrument microphone.
Around 20 years ago, it was the BG series (Beta Green), which was replaced by the original PG Series about 10 years prior to now.
We now welcome Shure's latest offering: PG ALTA.
They're tough enough to gig with, and even though they're budget-friendly, also perform admirably in the studio.
This 5-piece kit comes with enough dynamic microphones to handle kick, snare and three toms.
Also included is the relevant microphone and drum clips, five x 4.6m XLR cables, and a zippered case to house the lot.
Should you also require a pair of overhead condenser microphones, check out PGADRUMKIT7
Pack contains:
1 x PGA52 Cardioid Dynamic Kick Drum Microphone
3 x PGA56 Cardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Microphones
1 x PGA57 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone
1 x A25D Break-resistant Microphone Clip
3 x AP56DM Break-resistant Drum Rim Mounts
5 x XLR-XLR cables 4.6m
Comes in a zippered carrying case

Two years ago, Villanova shocked the world (and maybe itself) by winning it all. Not this time—the Wildcats' band of versatile, selfless, confident and deadly shooters destroyed the NCAA field. After a finals blowout of Michigan, it's worth asking: Is this college hoops' perfect program? By DAN GREENE
by Matt Norlander The season is over, but hiring season still rolls on. There are jobs still to be filled in college basketball. Many of them are closing in a hurry, though.
Fred Glass says he wants Indiana University basketball to be a perennial contender, and the school's athletic director is willing to spend like one to get there.
Losing the national championship game is tough, as Michigan's players learned Monday night. But even with some key roster decisions up in the air right now, John Beilein has the Wolverines set up for future success. By MICHAEL ROSENBERG

Tired of the hot weather?
Be careful what you wish for, as they say.
Wet weather may return to New Jersey this week, according to the National Weather Service.
And we're only a week removed from the wettest June on record in New Jersey. The grand total was 9.57 inches of rain statewide, on average, according to the Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist. That's more than twice the norm.
Another slow-moving and stalling front could bring gusty thunderstorms and some flooding during the second half of this week, according to the weather service.
The greatest chances for heavy downpours are on Wednesday and Thursday, according to the weather service.
Meanwhile, it appears that Tropical Storm Chantal will stay away from New Jersey this week, but stay tuned, according to a National Hurricane Center map.

Our needs grow beyond self
As the soul searches for a way,
The heart nearly breaking
Reaches out for help
Tears and anguish
Often inner turmoil,
Love grasped, then lost
Comfort so fragile, collapses in a heap
Sometimes in quiet, lonely desperation,
Longing and yeaning just worn out!
A woman finally bows to the Way
A man humbles himself in quiet, simple prayer,
After stumbling and mumbling along
As a small child in tears
Life in this world simply too overwhelming,
Like a flood that nearly covers
Or flames of fire ready to consume.
The God of Sovereignty watches
Lord of Mercy listens fully
Even the One who sees the end from the beginning,
He always reaches out in compassion
"Knows what we are made of"
And "remembers we are but dust";
Messiah feels the pain and suffering that washes about
The constant torment of humanity.
Long ago He stepped from His Throne
To embrace His Cross for us,
To "swallow death for all time";
His hands are more than able
Power ready to raise a man from the thick mud
Authority to free a woman from an impossible snare.
Human needs of every kind the reason
An earthly catalyst, a gracious push
The Shepherd's eternal mercy with kindness in action
Intimate revelation given of personal worth in His sight,
Each precious one
No child ever forgotten.

This is from my current sketchbook. It is a pen and ink sketch that I created for the May pen and ink challenge at wetcanvas.com I generally try to participate in these challenges each month.
Each month a group of photos from the wetcanvas reference library are selected to be used as photo references for the challenge. Participant's can select any or all of the photos that they would like to sketch. There isn't any hint of competition the challenge is simply a way to motivate and encourage those who would like to participate. It is open to anyone from absolute beginners to seasoned artist.
