Hey everybody! it's the start of a brand new week and I wanted to share some of my Sunday activities with you.My day started pretty early with my beautiful partner in crime @pamarias. We took a little trip down to the local market to buy some fruits and vegetables for lunch. We get there by way of public transportation because we live in a walking neighborhood and no longer own a car.

Watch on 3SpeakHey everybody! say hello to the youngest orca on the blockchain! I'm very happy to share with you my achievement of growing my hive power to over 59,400, which officially puts me in the orca category on hivebuzz.me. Getting this cool badge on my profile is great, but I'd like to share with you some of the reasons I think it's important to grow your stake if you're a Hive citizen.

The whale vote on the Hive DAO (the DHF)'s return proposal was a hot topic with users of the protocol over the past couple of weeks. You see, a DAO (a Decentralized Autonomous Organization) by definition does not have a central entity that controls it. So mechanisms like the return proposal, or threshold proposal are used to determine which proposals in the DHF get funded and which don't. Anything with more votes than the return proposal gets funded and anything with less votes doesn't. As you can imagine, when the return proposal gets voted on with lots of HP, it's harder for a proposal the get funding as it will need more support from stakeholders.

You may have heard of (or maybe watched a video on) The marshmallow test, a famous psychological experiment that examines self-control, delayed gratification, and their relationship to future success. The marshmallow test was first conducted in the late 1960s and early 1970s by psychologist Walter Mischel at Stanford University, and it goes something like this: A kid (or sometimes two) are brought into a room and given a marshmallow. They're told they can either eat it now or wait a little while and get two.
