(https:\/\/peakd.com\/@alphaccino.art\/something-to-be-proud-of)\n\n***\n\n## Or perhaps its just a small thing that amuses a small mind XD\n\n---\n\n![My profile (https:\/\/files.steempeak.com\/file\/steempeak\/alphaccino.art\/RDqxO8aY-digivol_profile.png)\n\n---\n\nAs I've mentioned in previous posts,<br> I have a volunteer profile on [Digivol (https:\/\/volunteer.ala.org.au\/) which is a portal that's available on the [Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) (https:\/\/www.ala.org.au\/) where you can contribute to the knowledge base by becoming an online volunteer. Not only are you helping researchers better understand the diversity of plant and animal life,<br> you are also part of an active community that supports and contributes to science and culture.\n\nSome of the tasks involve transcribing labels and assisting with the digitisation of specimen labels,<br> field notes and other documents,<br> essentially converting information from it's physical format into a digital format.\n\nThis morning,<br> I was notified about some new achievements that had been awarded to my profile (represented by the four badge icons) and while on the site,<br> I worked on an expedition that involved transcribing field notes from 1949.\n\nAnd yes,<br> the handwritten notes were in cursive and as you can see from the picture below it was a challenge to read some of those words.\n\n---\n\n![The Expedition (https:\/\/files.steempeak.com\/file\/steempeak\/alphaccino.art\/7ARoI9bG-digivol_expedition.png)\n\n---\n\nAnyhoo,<br> the achievement awards weren't the only reason why this became such a proud moment for me... \n\nAfter choosing an expedition,<br> I noticed that there were only ten tasks to work on and I knew I could knock them out in a couple of hours; then after completing all ten transcriptions,<br> I was taken to the project's home page where I noticed that since I was the first to work on this expedition,<br> I was now listed as the project leader.\n\n---\n\n![Expedition Leader (https:\/\/files.steempeak.com\/file\/steempeak\/alphaccino.art\/d6TOMXDb-digivol_leader.png)\n\n---\n\nNot so exciting,<br> some might say... but it's not very often that I receive recognition for being a leader *in anything*,<br> so it was a very proud moment for me to see my name printed under that title.\n\nAnd yes,<br> I know... small things amuse small minds lol\n\nUntil next time... xxx\n\nedit: updated images to larger size\n\n<center>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProudly representing\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/WGuBGxi.png\n\nhttps:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png\n\nProud supporter of @steeming-hot\n\nhttps:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmdCimXD2sHmZFpicaiPQvLwHc8T9mbn1PmU5f9QgbsT4M\/steeming-hot-bot_small.png\n\n<\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"pruner\",<br>\"message\":\"See you on the other side!\" " |
