The @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report - 02 MAR 2018
How hard it must be to write for a world-wide audience in a language that is not the first language you learned. Add to that the pressure of monetary reward tied to good writing.
What is the @mitneb Curation Trail Project?
On Steemit, writing in English gives the widest audience, and largest potential financial gain. Many new users come to Steemit, and purposely write in English as a way to improve their English language skills and increase their potential earnings.
The @mitneb Curation Trail Project has a unique, narrow focus to aid and assist these brave new Steemians.

Hi everyone! My name is First. I'm 20 years old. I'm from Bangkok, Thailand.
I'm a college sophomore ( major in banking and finance ).
Last month, I joined seminar about digital banking and cryptocurrency. The lecturer introduced Steemit to me. I'm excited about this and I want to join it.
I want to write more about myself but my midterm exam is coming. So, I think I will post longer for my next blog.
Good day guy, My name is Tunde Olarinde. My friends call me Tunvo. I am a drummer, a bassist and a creative writer.
I am from Nigeria, my hobbies are dancing, reading and creating stories, I like honest and affectionate people, I do not like proud and insensitive people.
Besides drumming, I also love bass guitars. It helps me show what I have in mind and my heart when I do not want to talk. Because most of the time music can always explain what you feel that's why I really love playing the guitar.

There is no cost for this curation. I would like to see more people take advantage of this great opportunity.
Tears kept rolling down, from my eyes as I keep reminiscing on the memories of today, the joy and happiness that radiated from the faces of school children of ages between 8-10 as they received free notebooks from us.
This is the second phase of a steem project I started with @lordjames tagged "Products of Help Initiative" (POHI). You can read about what it's all about and its first phase here.
After sharing the exercise books, as we return home, I felt privileged and grateful for having another opportunity to touch lives in a very direct, different way.
This was the first time in my entire life I ever got to share something to a good number of kids at a time. Then the words of @sochul started sinking in, and I saw the possibility of becoming someone's energy through steem.
We crossed the dark skies
And Night's lofty Realm to come down here
-So we left our memories back there.
Down cold black streets we strayed to find a home
to light a fire in and try to reminisce.
But we only find lone corners, laughing thralls.
And all the faces we should know are blurred.
Loud trudging cars still tumbling down the road
that leads nowhere we'd ever cried.
Lifted, our eyes are weaning off the moon
as she releases that cruel spell that did once bind us
If you should ever -when you do- find that red vein
that would return us to our past dreams
-hospital aisles and wind-full nights,
raw letters written upon a raw wall...
MY STORY
Recently, there has been an outbreak of this disease in my country and it pains me much that the government still take it for granted.
Lassa fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic fever that is extremely virulent and infectious. It was discovered in Lassa, Borno State where it was first reported and is caused by the Lassa fever virus of the arenaviridae family.
It is usually transmitted from animal (Mastomys natalensis) to man, human to human and also in hospital settings.
The lackadaisical attitude of the government towards eradication of the illness is very abysmal. Imagine a country where there are only two Lassa fever centres (Lagos and Edo).
There should be proper funding of research projects and PPE (Personal Protective Equipments) should always be made available in hospitals.
The masses too can help in controlling the spread of this disease by keeping rodents out of homes and maintaining proper personal hygiene. Infected persons should be isolated and their body fluids and excrements properly disposed.
If you were here father
I wouldn't have come across That fate
With your constant advice I would have done better
That's why I Long to see your arrival
Because seeing you would break my lonely state
Father I thought I would be totally fine
Even if you left
But I guess you are a part of me
A line of sweet water eyes cannot see
But hearts let it be felt...

Why the drop in return in short
Some people don't understand why we would drop in returns at all. So for those a quick explanation.
Other upvote services (bots) like @Minnowbooster have over 100000 Steempower that of them self. They do NOT have to pay this anymore as it is powered up and in there possession.
As @Bumper only have less then 500 Steempower that is our own and the rest we have to rent against high prices.
As where "they" choose to do low returns even if they don't have to worry about payments, we choose for high returns and less profit for Bumper.
But if the moment arises that we lose money as our delegations are simply becoming to expensive we have 2 choices stop the service or do a lower return.
But at least some good news.
Al tough it ain't much, we have a some room to do 230%
and this will make sure that we have a better return again then most of the services out there.
Once the markets are showing better times,
we can look to set the returns even higher again.
The weather is slowly trying to warmup and spring and warmer weather isnt to far away now, Iam so looking forward to getting back to my early morning walks on the beaches for me there is no better way to start the day.
At Fort Trumbull Beach where this shot is taken you get a wide variety of things people may do in the early morning, I have seen people fishing as in this shot, sitting on benches like this one, but also LIke I do walking back and forth along the beach, some like me taking photos.

I came across this quote last night when working on a project for a client and loved it so much that I decided to do a post on it and make it the title of it.
This one quote really got me thinking about the many excuses we make for not doing something and the scores of reasons we give as to why something won't be possible.
Here are the two Finalists we are voting on

Special Feature: Team @mitneb Curation Trail Project is Recruiting Teammates for this Community Game
I will be donating at least 50% of any winnings awarded to me in this contest to the Products of Help Initiative (POHI) recently launched by @joshuaetim and @lordjames. Here's a link to their project to help rural kids in Nigeria: link #productsofhelp
Game by @swolesome
Get ready to get wet for round 2
How does this version work?
Just like before, you buy a water balloon that has a vice mechanism on it.
Each one is preloaded with a certain amount of cranks. I roll a varying series of dice and crank the balloons. When they hit a certain number they pop.
We go in the order of those who bought in first goes last.
So if User A buys before User B. User B always gets their cranks done first. So A would win if B pops!
Like before you can buy back in AFTER signup until there is 10 balloons left.
I will make an announcement post when that time comes.
Please take a few moments out of your day to encourage these fellow Steemians!

I'm speechless, honestly. I don't know how best to say thank you for your enormous support @mitneb. But the least I'll do is this, I'll tell the children and students about you, about the mitneb curation trail, about how you're becoming their energy from a distance, across the oceans and shores. I'll tell them about your love and strength.
I am extremely grateful, your donation will go a long way to taking this project to the next phase.
God bless you your two sons abundantly.
Thank you so much, @joshuaetim, for this really nice commment! It is a privilege to be a partner with you in making a real difference in the lives of those kids. I am excited to see your work and project grow. God will provide as you step forward.
Cheers!
