Amazing Animals #6 The Lobster
Author: @amavi
Curator: @lturner
-=- Take a dive into the ocean with this lengthy post highlighting an amazing creature you may think you already know. Among the interesting subjects @amavi has addressed: a lobster's bizarre physiology, it's unexpected life span, strange color variations (including the author's personal favorite, the Phantom of the Lobstera) and surprising ability to avoid lobster traps. In spite of it's denigrating title "the Cockroach of the Sea", this adaptive and amazing animal deserves to be known for something besides being a delicacy in melted butter. -=-

Jeeping @ Wombat Forest (with kangaroos)
Author: @adventurerider
Curator: @lturner
-=- @adventurerider has a new Jeep and is ready to try it out! After doing some remediation work on a previous owners' "enhancements", @adventurerider loaded his dog in the back and took the Jeep out for a spin in a local preserve - a forest featuring the occasional hazard like kangaroos which can apparently jump through your windshield if you are unfortunate enough to hit one. Not something those of us non-native-Aussies have ever considered! The photos are great and it's a fun vicarious Australian adventure. -=-
Foodie-licious: How to make Puchero 🍲
Author: @tsokoletmint
Curator: @lturner
-=- In a beautifully-photographed tutorial, @tsokoletmint teaches us to make the Filipino dish "Puchero" - if you're a fan of trying foods from around the world, here is genuine ethnic food presented in an easy-to-follow recipe. With an unusual main ingredient and a rich spicy sauce, this is comfort food at it's best no matter what culture you come from. The photographs will help to identify the English counterparts to the Filipino ingredients and make it possible to recreate @tsokoletment 's dish. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?
Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.
Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.
My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.
If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.
Steemvoter @buildawhale
Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.
Donate Steem Power
Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.
Write a post about @buildawhale
We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.

Greetings
I send 1 SBD for this post:
https://steemit.com/photography/@nomadics/saturday-coffee-with-crystals.
I has more than 24 hours till it expiration. And the posts sent after me by other people ware voted. (There was time before the voting window end)
Can you check the issue please?
wow good post
hi, i have contacted you via memo regarding your service, please respond :)
the last paragraph of this piece invites us to vote for Mark as a witness because he is, "transparent, ethical and ..... competent", to this end the rules of this service should be made clearer and a lot more visible because a lot of people a losing money because they made one "error" or the other (no refunds you see ;) ), there are similiar bots offering silimiar service and if you do not meet criteria with these bots your funds would simply bounce back.
In the spirit of being "transparent, ethical and competent" the service should automatically refund when a bid is invalid, there are several bots offering the same sort of service and they mostly either automatically refund if you do not meet criteria or they issue a manual refund once you contact them ( please see proof here, several bots automatically refund invalid bids including jerrybanfield's bot: https://s3.amazonaws.com/yabapmatt/bottracker/bottracker.html#free).
I would suggest that the people behind this service temporarily suspend the service until they are able to figure out how refunds can be issued.
Keeping people's money without providing the service that they are paying for is completely unacceptable and should not be the case especially in the spirit of "transperancy, ethics and competence"
Good post
@buildawhale please checken your wallet... three Post of mine ... still outstanding ;-) Steem on
Wow, thank you so much for picking one of my posts! I really appreciate the support from your curation team.

I sent 1 SBD to buildawhale last 4 hour ago but no upvote received. Please vote me.
Hello, not sure what is going on- I had 7.27% of the final voting round but only received a 3.54% upvote? My 7 SBD should have been a $22+ upvote but I got $10 instead. Any help?
