1st report of steemcurator06 team - Lifestyle

Since 09.02 the team of @o1eh, @haidermehdi @esteban85 @willeusz @progressivechef @ponpase, and @papi.mati is taking care of the steemcurator06 account, upvoting publications in the Lifestyle category. We review the posts with several hashtags (#food #travel #sport #lifestyle #health #garden), occasionally checking other tags related to that topics.

We check every post before upvoting, making sure that the user is at least in club5050, the post is plagiarism-free, and steemexclusive. Upvote percentage depends on the curator - everyone has the freedom in making the decision on how much VP they want to use in a single upvote, but the total VP has to reach exactly 81% at the end of the shift. Shifts are every 23,5h and are designed in a way that allows all the members to upvote the publications in a reasonable time (not before 10 am and not after midnight) on their time zones. That way we make sure the maximum of the VP is used. More about the way how we work HERE

In the last 4 days, we upvoted 77 posts:

Please, notice that we upvote every day different theme, and the first report is from four days only, so some of the topics may seem overrepresented while others, like food or sport, are not represented enough yet. Every single theme will get our full attention on time though.

The best publications

At the end of the shift, the team member is selecting the best publication of the day. The first list will include only four publications of that type because it's been four days since we got the keys

Photo + author	Link + description
by @arul.ellyazhar	Seulanga Flowers and Philosophy in Acehnese Society Publication selected by @ponpase, appreciated for the educational value, connecting cultural information with the garden/botanical theme and interesting composition
by @edlili24	En @steemcoffe creando contenido para Steemit Publication selected by @haidermehdi, appreciated for the style and explanation, as well as for the pictures. @haidermehdi says that the text is properly aligned. Text is visible and not hiding behind or in between the images. There is an additional video in the post which makes it more attractive. He also appreciated the twitter announcement.
by @suboohi	My visit to Makkah Publication selected by @o1eh. This post describes a place that is inaccessible to us, non-Muslims. Many of us would like to visit Makkah. Thanks to this post, it became possible.
by @ngoenyi	A VISIT TO MY FARM TO UPROOT MY CASSAVA FOR TAPIOCA/ CASSAVA FLAKES - LEARN HOW YOU CAN PRESERVE YOUR CASSAVA STEMS DURING DRY SEASON Publication selected by @papi.mati. It's very informative, brings some important information about not-so-popular plants to grow, at least in my part of the world. The language used in the publication is great, as well as the photos that are very interesting. The video attached to the post is the additional value.
