SteemPoint: a physical place - First sketches

@paolobeneforti : I'm working for one of my projects to make Steem grow - as far as I can, of course. SteemPoint is a project born watching the Steem Park created by @sndbox in New York City. I'd like to create something physical, useful and appealing in my city, Pistoia (Italy). In these days I'm talking to the City Administration about it.

The Power of Public Art : Designing Funky Benches for Brooklyn Bridge Park

@erb : In 2015, the Public Art Fund invited Danish artist Jeppe Hein to install an expansive exhibition of his public art works at Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York.

Do Not Underestimate STEEM

@jrswab : There has never been an opportunity in the blogging space like we have with the Steem blockchain. Over the past fifteen years of blogging I have never seen a community so willing to help hardworking writers as I have in the past seven months on Steemit. Then there is the monetary compensation, a real asset we are able to trade for goods and services.

University Education and Realities

@bree1042 : What is your New Year's Resolution? I have no idea what they might be, but if I had to guess my safe bet would be "read more books". If you happen to have the same resolution, here is a very good website I'd like to recommend for free e-books: Gutenberg Project.

Three Famous Filipino Athletes Who Made Me Proud of My Own Race

@asbonclz : We all know that whenever Manny Pacquiao the Pambansang Kamao (the National Fist) fights inside the ring, everyone gets excited, crime rate decreases, people halts on what they’re doing and the masses are united! When I was in high school, I remembered Manny Pacquiao’s first fight against Mexico’s “El Terrible” Eric Morales. It was raining that time but the bad weather did not really to stop me from going to my neighbor’s house just to watch Pacman’s fight.

Sndbox-Alpha Curation Trail – Warm-Up Your Brains Steemit’s Philosophers and Writers

@fingersik : @sndbox, our lovely incubator, is setting up new curation trail. The trail will be controlled exclusively by volunteers from the first Sndbox’s cohort. It will start with a huge 30k SP delegation from the main Sndbox account in order to become powerful enough to spread some love to the rest of the community – and that means YOU! It wouldn’t be sndbox though if its endeavour wouldn’t be somehow “special”. And @sndbox-alpha will be special!

The People's Car – Volkswagen's Historical Odyssey

@roused : To understand the origins of Volkswagen, we should first examine the name itself. “Das Volk” in German means “the people,” or perhaps an even better translation would be “folk” as it is used in American English: “The common people of a society or region considered as the representatives of a traditional way of life and especially as the originators or carriers of the customs, beliefs, and arts that make up a distinctive culture.”

A trip to the University of the Philippines

Appreciate your work dude, but still there are a lot more good Authors who need exposure and curation.
We need some more curators to jump into this awesome job.

Absolutely! There are more and more authors everyday that deserve more exposure. Check out @sndbox-alpha, a curation initiative that we delegated 30,000 Steem Power towards to support content outside of our incubator. They'll be upvoting new themes each month beginning this week with the goal of improving visibility for new authors and building a community around impactful projects.

Awesome job pal, really appreciate that.
Things like these are a good sign for a stronger future of Steemit and Steem.

I spent a lot of time to do those translation works, but haven't got your upvotes yet, so I wonder if you think my work ain't good enough to get upvotes or just missed them. If you think my works ain't good enough please point out what should I do to improve those works, thanks.

Hi @wang-peilin, thanks for your translations. We've curated them. In the future, please be sure to send us a message in Steemit.chat otherwise they're tricky to track down! Thank you.

Ok, I see, I will connect with you if necessary in the future. Thanks for your upvotes!

hello, there.
just want to check whether you still upvote the translations of your articles or not?

Translation for "What is a Steemit Reputation Score?" in Chinese language.
Link here:
https://steemit.com/cn/@blacktranquility/4tf56g-steemit

Hello, please message us with a link in Steemit.chat and we'll be able to review your translation. Thanks!

i have contacted with sndbox via steemit chat, but no answers yet.

Hi there! We just received the message you sent us yesterday, thanks for reaching out! Your post has been curated. In the future, we aren't seeking out new translation work (where we provide translators with upvotes) but thanks so much for your offer and support! :)

Hello!

I can do translations to Spanish to help you with the localization of your posts. How can I start doing them? I am currently doing utopian contributions too.

And in the future I will love to be part of your incubator :D!!

Thanks for the question! We actually already have a lot of spanish translations completed and aren't actively seeking out new translation work, but many thanks for your offer :D

wonderful post . you are intresting thing doing here

Wow awesome i want to nominate @luvabi they are making great job with nice photography

Interesting thing you're doing here, I want to nominate @factland, they're making a great job here and almost none visibility, will you push them up?

Hi @jwilhelm87, make sure to lead @factland onto @sndbox-alpha too! A new curation initiative with rotating themes that we actively support. Thanks :D

Thanks to you!

Wow. @sndbox never fails to deliver more great deserving authors. It's always great to see your curation efforts and what other Steemians are doing to make Steemit an ever better place to blog.

This is enormously brilliant @sndbox! The more I learn about what you guys do, the more impressed I am.

Do you guys foresee yourself doing something with @sndbox-alpha in the realm of written content? I'm looking forward to participating either way.

On another note, last night I wrote this article about my reasons why you don't need your government's approval to start creating useful and resourceful programming and opportunities for your local community. I shared a few of my own local projects as well and thought that this post would be right up @sndbox's alley!

Feel free to check out the article here: True Life: My Country's Government Has Shut Down [Here's Why That Doesn't Matter]

Great project dude, I'm following it already. How can minnows join this?
