Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can win up to 10 SBI per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

This ongoing curation contest is no resteem, no upvote, no follow required.

Today's guest curator is @paradigmprospect.

Steem continues to be a goldmine of art, insights and observations into life and the human realm. And though it has become noticeably quiet here in recent months there are still many people with devotion and ambition on the blockchain who share their take on what's important to them, what they have observed and what they have created with their own hands.

In the spirit of supporting the visibility for their often underrated work it is @paradigmprospect's pleasure to showcase the work of these 5 Steemians today to get them some better traction and support for where they are going...

5 HEALTH BENEFITS OF BITTER LEAF

It has often been said by many conscious health advocates that our foods today are generally lacking bitterns, meaning natural molecules and ingredients that have a bitter taste to them. Our foods are soaked in sweetness, saltiness and so on whereas "bitter things" have become a quite rare part of our diets today.

In an effort to bring the bitter back into our consciousness I want to point to this comprehensive article by @paramimd who has listed the major benefits of bitter leaf for us. Maybe it can inspire us to revisit this seemingly long forgotten aspect of nutrition, to try out some bitter leaf or to even look for local bitterns that grow naturally where we live. Nature always provides!

The BENEFITS of budget transparency

In recent years, we have seen the rise of a multitude of crowdfunding platforms all over the internet and there are endless success stories with many projects that got started by asking for people to support their vision. One of these crowdfunding projects is running on the Steem blockchain and is called @fundition.

But apart from allowing entrepreneurs to list and promote their projects via fundition, their blog also posts how-to's and advice for people wishing to start their own crowdfunding projects. In this specific article, we get to hear about the benefits of being transparent with your project so that people will want to come back and help your cause succeed. Transparency is desperately needed to repair most facets of the old system structure and through our choices we can decide to walk a better path into the future where our backers and supporters not only hope but see that their investments have been a wise choice...

Film photography can be so frustrating!!

A German proverb says "Shared suffering is half the suffering". As artists and creative people we can often feel discouraged by the seemingly monumental tasks at hand - we have a goal to work towards but it seems the challenges are insurmountable, we get discouraged by our perceived lack in the quality of pieces we produce and we would almost wish for some kind of shortcut to bridge the gap between our vision and our actual results.

But then, it can be a really good idea to just share your results with people out there anyway and not be afraid to let your work stand on its own feet instead of getting overly self-conscious about your own high standards. You may find out that to many people out there your work seems ultra-professional already and that may just give you the tiny nudge to continue your mission. If you are one of those people who frequently doubt their own results come check out the artistic struggle @article61 has shared with us and see how good results can be as seen through the eyes of people who are completely neutral to the craft...

Second Post Or 'Where I started arting and where I think I'll go'

It's an enormous pleasure to share such a condensely packed post full of marvelous visual art with you, all by this novel artist on Steem. The pieces @znkd has shared with us in this post are truly awe-inspiring and move the imagination beyond belief - no exaggeration. There really is no point in talking more about it at all, you have to check out what magnificent pieces of art human beings are capable of creating, and how diversely a single signature style can unfold into so many different directions with a real punch of magic... Mad respect at your skills!!!

Blinger-security detail

Oh the little things that make life magical! Like having a cat that oddly assumes cooperative roles and picks up on certain items of perceived importance by her owners... and decides to become part of the game.

I have been fascinated with the spirit of cats for a long time, have been curious about their way of behaving and their almost human stance on life in general as observed through their odd actions. If you dig the curious spirit in pets, this story will certainly be for you. Written in a witty and light-hearted fashion by @galenkp

Conclusion

Amazing commentary and selections from @paradigmprospect. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @paradigmprospect wins 10 SBI.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak, along with beneficiary rewards from this post. Our featured writers sometimes earn more from their beneficiary rewards on this post than from their post itself! In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. 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 2 SBI for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 10 SBI for each accepted submission!

With Steem Basic Income now upvoting comments for members that have not posted within the last 7 days, and SBI having proven to be a great value proposition, we chose to rewards curators with SBI. This will help The Daily Sneak continue in its mission to discover and reward quality content creators and curators.
