The Country I would like to visit (9) Switzerland, Montreux

@leesongyi: This is illustration of Montreux in Switzerland. It's famous for flowers called Narcissus.I am working hard on the illustrations for making calendars these days. The theme of my picture is 'World Travel', with flowers, sea, sunset and stars. (This picture is a flower-themed picture)

My next projects to promote Steem and the Art community / Five ideas I'm going to carry out

@paolobeneforti: 4 different projects could take shape for me and my wife soon (well, it depends on us, of course).

Daily Food Photography - 3rd December

@howtostartablog: Hey guys, welcome to another round of daily food photography. Today's already the 4th of Dec and Christmas is coming! This set of winners are for yesterday's entries. I also try to prioritize first-timers and avoid blurry shots.

Mosaic creation - a challenging yet gratifying journey

@osm0sis: Ever since I took a trip to Pompeii in my early twenties, I have been fascinated with mosaics. This post recalls the artistic journey undertaken to create a giant floor mosaic - a 3-month venture including photos of the process.

Proud recent @sndbox member and all of my current Steemit projects! :D

@meanmommy33: My first post as a @sndbox member, talking about all my different projects: @steemsugars : Bring more Women on Steemit, @copensteem : First Steemit Meet up in Denmark, @ocd Italian curator and @spaminator member. Last but not least, a tribute to my boyfriend @creutzy who finally got back to Steemit after a 2month absence!

Be Creative with Me: Developing the Beat to "Warm Coffee Cool Breeze" w/ Added Live Guitars - It's Sounding Good

@heymattsokol: In this post Matt shares the journey of creating a new song, recording guitars and adding synth melodies to a previously posted drum beat. This is a cool way to use the Steem platform for music content. He's looking for feedback on the format, so swing by if you can and let him know what you think.

Process of Demoing to "Audition" for a Documentary Project

@playitforward: I wanted to pull together a recent example of what demoing is and how it works with indie film music. This all was created this week for a documentary feature film that I have been in the running for as a composer.

Developing an Artistic Collaboration: Case Study

@mrblinddraw: I think the fundamental way to be able to create something for a career is by creating. That sounds really dry and stupid, but true. The more you make or try to make of something you want to be doing for a job, the better you will bet at it and in turn will receive more work from that. I had started making art of people's products just for a creative outlet only to find fruitful outcomes.

Why education important for third world country?

@monomyth: I think we should start with 3rd world term. Because this content and behind the idea of content will about 3rd world countries education system and their economies. The definition of the Third World Country first emerged during the Cold War. During the Cold War period, increased tensions between NATO and the Communist Bloc and political games directly affected this process. So, the concept was used to define countries that aren't compatible with NATO or the Communist Bloc.

New @sndbox Curation Guidelines Brainstorm

@fingersik: New curation guidelines have been released yesterday. For a long time (since the creation of @sndbox) everyone was eligible for one vote per day if he met the “quality requirements” of our curators/founders. With the new rules, completely new dynamics has been introduced to our lovely incubator. Let me break it down.

What do teachers want? Smart media tokens perhaps?

@alvinauh: This post discusses about how smart media tokens can be used an at education conference online and offline. Allowing it to reach a wider audience as well as to reward creative content by academicians.

Major Problems of Turkish Society / English Education and Learning Process

@teachblogger: Modern Turkey has got some problems that we have to cope with every day. Education is the most important problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Let me tell you why our country is failing in English language teaching.

Life-Work Balance is mostly Bullshit

@GuyFawkes4-20: When most of the people are talking about work, they are usually thinking about a boring 9 to 5 job where they hate their boss and have to do useless stuff for a specific amount of time. Because those people don’t like doing that job they need a balance between their tedious career and life so they can get away.

Sunday Sempah Tōge

@aaronleang: Sunday, the perfect day to tuck yourself in your warm bed and sleep until afternoon but not for me; woke up at 5.30am just to get ready and head out for some Tōge session with my friend to test out my tuned suspension by PRS.

How To Nurture Emerging Community Engagement

@jrswab: When we are the author, we are responsibility to grow the comment section as the seeds pop in. Each new comment is like a seed that falls to the ground and you are the farmer. It is your job to water the seed for it to grow into the crop you wish to receive. Without water the seed will not grow even if a sprout, it will die.

[오늘의 English 단어] #36. 말을 붙잡으라고? - Hold Your Horses!

@bree1042: There are many interesting English idioms and expressions that have animals in them. This time I taught "Hold your horses" to Koreans who study English. Actually this might be a good expression for everyone in the age of "rapidly changing price of cryptocurrency."

Nathan East -- Eric Clapton's Favorite Bass Player

@roused: This month we're celebrating bass guitar, focusing today on Nathan East, one of the world’s premiere session musicians. He’s perhaps best known as Eric Clapton’s favorite bass player, but that’s also Nathan playing on Michael Jackson’s “Bad,” and Daft Punk’s Grammy winning "Get Lucky."

Destiny Point Homes Orphanage Donation Drive

@myach: @myach is doing a donation drive for an orphanage in Malaysia to guy them some urgently required essentials required in 4 of their homes. Help us make their Christmas celebration brighter by donating by upvotes or liquid STEEM/SBD. Just a little bit will go a long way for these kids.

The @SteemPH Year-end Dinner

@deveerei: Steemit has been providing the best place for colleagues or strangers of the same passion to grow together and impact lives of others. There's no better way to celebrate it other than a meetup dinner. The @steemph family has recently hosted a dinner for Steemians in Manila, Philippines. The food, company, and discussions made the night an experience to treasure.
