https://steemit.com/sunthursday/@uwelang/sun-thursday-and-communities-10-months-of-the-challenge

Author: @uwelang
Curator: @nicnas

-=- The firs to be curated for today is an article from the "Simple German Guy." @uwelang, with a reputation of 70, has been around since August 2016. He is one of the veterans of this platform and this post goes back and highlights one aspect he introduced and that is still in use today.

While he seems to always be at some sort of beer festival he makes a lot of time to show some of his amazing art. Today we look at the tag and contest of the #SunThursday Challenge. Check him out and see the growth he has made on this platform. You can do it too. -=-

https://steemit.com/blog/@cookiekush/pharmacon-4-preventing-the-post-antibiotic-era

Author: @cookiekush
Curator: @nicnas

-=- This this post by @cookiekush he describes the developments in antibiotics. We needed a antibiotic that would destroy the pathogens and without the resistance that has been seen in test that he cites. He explains Bacteriophages and how they are like smart cells that can change and adapt to kill bacteria that has resistances to antibiotics.

I love the science behind this article and how @cookiekush really breaks down the developments and studies. This is a good read. -=-

Why Many People Fail on Steemit and other social media platforms (2)

https://steemit.com/new/@charles1/why-many-people-fail-on-steemit-and-other-social-media-platforms-2

Author: @charles1
Curator: @nicnas

-=- If someone fails using the Steem Blockcahin then I think it is solely on them. It takes a lot of time to build up your reputation, not only just the number but the actual rep you have with the community. Here @charles1 gives some reasons why people just do not do well.

While a lot of the top do hog the rewards up, there is still a lot of hope for the new members of Steem. If one considers what @charles1 offers as advice and avoids these habits then there is a chance for success yet. It takes a lot of hard work and energy. -=-

Random Fractals - hexagonal mandalas

https://steemit.com/art/@kalemandra/random-fractals-hexagonal-mandalas

Author: @kalemandra
Curator: @nicnas

-=- @kalemandra in this post uses a Java based freeware program to design some fractals. I have a thing for fractals. I love the patterns and colors. Especially these ones. This are really fun and I am now considering trying out this software. She does warn that you do need a high powered computer to render them. -=-

Creating New Colours - Nightmare or Heaven?

https://steemit.com/education/@theexplorer/creating-new-colours-nightmare-or-heaven

Author: @theexplorer
Curator: @nicnas

-=- @theexplorer's piece describes a art challenge for their students. I love art, especially painting. I think that learning the fundamentals of how to mix colors can be an amazing thing. I rmemeber doing all of the basic type excersises of these in school but still never even trying to grasp the amazingness and idea behind it.

I hope that @theexplorer continues to push the knowledge and helps create some artist monsters. The world could use more of them. -=-

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.

Vote for @themarkymark as witness

As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
