<h2>1. Steem is still Powering Up - but only just !</h2>

The Steem Community is still powering up - but not so much at the lower levels.

The latest stats from @steemchiller show a continued growth in the number of Dolphins, Orcas and Whales over the last 3+ weeks. The Orcas are the best performers with a growth of 10 (3.88%) from 258 to 268.

Minnows however have dropped slightly to 6,196 - we need a big, big push to get more people over the 500 SP level...

Redfish | under 500SP | 1,582,462 | 1,599,499 | + 1.08%
Minnows | 500SP - 4,999SP | 6,199 | 6,196 | - 0.05%

_Please also note that in the table above the Steem Power values for each 'sea creature category' are only approximate, as the 'raw data' supplied by @steemchiller is based on Vests not SP._

_For example 'Minnows' refer to those people with 1,000,000 -   9,999,999 Vests, and 'Dolphins' refers to those with 10,000,000 -  99,999,999 Vests._

<h2>2. World Smile Project still building</h2>

World Smile Project founder @el-nailul reports on progress on their two main current projects.

Construction of the house for Manuel and his family in Venezeula is progressing well and is now almost two-thirds complete.
