Hi, all fellow Steemians,

Good morning from Canberra,

It was one of those weeks when I could rant a lot, but I will keep it simple. I must say it passed normally. Offline I had nothing much to do as it was yet another 4-day week, Monday being a holiday due to the king's birthday, "Long live the king!"

Incidentally, I celebrated my birthday on Steemit, but as usual it went unnoticed.

They celebrated my birthday for the entire week

Once again I am missing my trips, as there was not much time, but as mentioned earlier, it was another long weekend, so we traveled to Wollongong, as one of my Indian friends had invited us to the Sri Venkateswara Temple at Helensburgh, near Sydney, which is about a two-hour drive from our house.

I have mentioned that trip here

Curation duty

As I mentioned last week also, I am part of Curation Team-3 and using all my previous experience and supporting the best posts no matter what country, community, or rank they belong to.

My power-ups and reward summary

POWERUP

I am glad that I added STEEM to my wallet this week, bringing my total close to 53K SP, including the balance that I intend to add soon.

Let me announce at this point that I am going to add all my SP to my wallet as long as I am on this site. By the way, I did an Orca post, it went unnoticed but as usual that did not surprise me.

I did a couple of posts in other communities.

What would have happened to me if...?

Let's Write Classifieds - Week 2

Newbie Promotional Program

A New Initiative to help newbies

As promised, I have started working for the newbies, although there is no contest for them so far, but I did a post for them, and I am glad it received attention.

Newbies: Rose by any name—if you did not say it, source it

I am happy that some of the newbies that I have been supporting for the last year and a half are coming up nicely, and a few of them have established themselves as good content creators. At this point I would like to mention a relatively new Steemian @peachyladiva who has outstanding talent for writing, especially in the fiction niche.

I always vote for the best posts according to their quality and support them in my capacity as moderator and Steem representative. As usual, my online or offline activities did not stop me from visiting and finding promising authors from the newcomers' community and selecting my quota of two of the best, under 50 rank, irrespective of their club status, communities, and countries.

I am proud to announce once again that I have supported well over 125 newbies ever since I started this program, but the time is ripe when I think about different methods to support them every week, which should help them stay positive.

But I am planning to replace this program and find something new soon to support newbies in their writing journey. I am seriously planning to change it and do something more creative, also considering a couple of new strategies, like a "Travel Writing Contest" that will encourage them to share about their region and country.

However, I supported two more newbies, keeping them as beneficiaries in one of my posts. As I always mention, I will keep supporting newbies, but my "Newbie Support Program" will be different a few weeks from now since I am busy with offline and online projects right now.

My selected users

As a routine, I selected the first "newbie," @andres.med, the first beneficiary of the week.

I selected for this post:

Presentación de mi logro 1

As usual, I am writing a message on the selected posts, and some of them understand the meaning of my message, so they feel happy and respond positively because they feel someone cares for them.

I posted a comment on his post

My second newbie beneficiary is @bea-jose

Her post

Mi Presentación a la comunidad Steemit

A message on that post, which I have set as beneficiaries in this post: She is a teacher and she wrote a beautiful comment on my post,

My post for both these beneficiaries

A silky feeling of romance

Again, I am trying my best to support genuine queries by Steemians, both new and old, through various channels to support them in spreading awareness and pacifying them in case anyone has a problem.

Once again, I am proud to announce that as SR, I try my best to support all good posts, but let me request of the authorities once again that the SRs should get more power to support Steemians with extra voting power to talented Steemians. I hope the Steem Team will see a point in my suggestion.

These are my regular posts.

My Account Summary

As usual, my CSI is in the range of 10-15, as I am supporting all who need my support; however, this week once again I could not visit as many posts because writing reports, moderation, and curation kept me busy on other assignments.

Let me assure you that I am doing my job without any partiality, always thinking beyond any specific country or community, and supporting everyone on the platform on an equal basis. Last but not least, thanks to all the Steemians for all they do to support me and the Steemit platform in general.

That's all for this week!

Thanks, all; have a nice time ahead.

Yours sincerely,
