The Daily Sneak 5 October 2018 - with guest curator @viking-ventures (Really)
Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!
We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!
You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.
After yesterday's mix-up, today's guest curator actually is @viking-ventures. For anybody that missed the mix-up, I accidentally credited @viking-ventures yesterday for a curation that was actually by @anouk.nox. She let me know right away, and I edited the post and comments, leaving only an embarrassingly inaccurate permlink as evidence of my wrong-doing.
Lori is a photographer, author and student-of-the-world who takes delight in finding undervalued bloggers and helping them find love from the Steem community. Lori's main project on Steem at the moment is serializing her fiction series, A'mara Books.
The Sneaked Selections
The Historic City of York - Jorvik and York's Viking Past
Today, we start off in the city of York in the north of England. @raj808 gives us some great pictures, but also a very good historical view of the city. It makes me want to visit York again, but to make sure I see the Jorvik Viking Centre this time as well.
The Vintage Grinder called "Dhenki".
Next, we're off to India where we learn about an old tool which is used to grind grain. To me, it's not the most obvious of tools, but @steemflow spends a bit of time explaining the process for us. I'm glad I can buy my flour in a bag!
The Great Kiskadee: A Bird Of Anarchy
I love this philosophical post from @erikaharris, tying in this lovely bird with the politics of her country. (She's from Belize.) Beautiful bird, fun post, I really enjoyed how the two things played together perfectly.
Exhibition of handmade dolls
Next, we go to Russia for an exhibition of hand-made dolls (and clothes.) This excellent visit shows many of the interesting kinds of dolls one might find at this show. There are also children dancing traditional dances. Just a beautiful cultural article from @zlata777.
Conclusion
Amazing commentary and selections from @viking-ventures. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @viking-ventures earns 4 SBD.
Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!
Submission Requirements
On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:
- You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
- All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
- You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
- Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
- We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
- Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
- Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
- Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.
If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.
Submission Reward
A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!
Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!

That "exhibition of handmade dolls" was super interesting. They're all so cute! Weirdly enough, the one at the top left was my favorite:
The really tall one? Or the tiny one next to it?
The really tall one. Creepy, but pretty.

These look like good posts. If you would like to submit guest curation (and get paid), please follow the submission process outlined in each of our posts. We would suggest adding a little more to your commentary to give readers a compelling reason to read each post.
Okay, thank you.
