Welcome to the 243rd Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of Hive account@qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

The Hive account@qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $8.36!

Note: some of you have been curated twice since the start of the daily qurator and some have been curated only once. As the Daily Qurator is gaining fame with every passing day, many new steemians are asking/will ask to join us. So, expect to see posts from new users for now. When the opportunity arises, posts from older users will be curated once again

Forecasting Active Disasters

The volcano Kilauea in Hawaii has been actively erupting for nearly a week out of several new fissures that have opened in a residential subdivision known as Leilani Estates. These events and the geology of the Hawaiian Islands have been summarized in a series of posts by @Sooflauschig that you might enjoy reading if you are interested in learning more

We've all heard about the volcano in Hawaii and the horrible escape for your life scenarios for some residents. See what Hive account@gra is sharing about this natural catastrophe in the 50th state in the union.

Getting Back To Reality

I have been having a tough time getting back to center with my writing, and during this process with Steem we have continued to grow and change, to move around and continue to walk the spiral path to the summit. Now we are coming back around again, back to the farm and my permaculture diploma project, back to homesteading, sustainable agriculture and living at the fringes of the periphery

Head over and welcome Hive account@ecoinstant back to the platform. After a hiatus, they are ready to get back to life, steemit and being sustainable.

Ulog Number 1: My First Experience With Cooking

Today was the opposite of all days I spend in my city, I was alone at home because my mother was traveling. So I have to get my food and it was a challenge for me because I have never tried cooking and preparing food, and it was a mission related to my dear mother in preparing everything

Have you heard about the new tag on steemit called ulog? Any idea what it is? Stop over and see Hive account@moroccantoughts and how they used ulog for this cooking post.

Talk To The Hand: Q&A With Hidden Hand, Illuminati And Spokesperson For The Bloodlines

We 'know', or at least strongly suspect, that there are shadowy behind-the-scenes figures controlling and manipulating the ostensible and discernible outlets of power in this world we call 'ours'. There is a growing awareness of organisations and societies and hidden agendas that have, over centuries, integrated their control-systems into the fabric of human society and thought. These 'bodies' have managed to evade attention of the general masses by staying out of sight and by getting 'inferior' others to front the show

What are your thoughts? Is there a secret shadow society or government? Share your viewpoints and thoughts in Hive account@barge's post today.

Free The Food 46- Saving Good Food Is All That Sweeter When Shared With Good Friends!

Was out all day yesterday attending "Lunch Beat" which is a great concept. You meet up at lunch and dance your ass of basically and afterwards eat together. Chilled with some friends after and made sure to drop by the local trash bins on my way home to see what they had in store this time. I found heaps of good food but it was quite a challenge to get it home as I didn't have my bike with me...

Hive account@reko has been on a quest for quite some time to salvage tossed away food. He gives a whole new meaning to dumpster diving. See how he did on this trip out, who he's sharing his found wealth with and how much food he has saved.

Toss Up Thursday 6 winners

What an interesting Toss up Thursday it was! I had to double and triple check the upvotes to make sure. Saw some great teamwork between members with upvotes being given and then later removed near the deadline. Quite interesting indeed!

In the end we had 3 winners (instead of the normal 2).

Congratulations: Hive account@rigor , Hive account@birjudanak and Hive account@gina2017

Hive account@qurator-tier-0 comment

We will be sending out some comments with the Tier 0 upvote. We don't think many of the members are aware that it is really easy to move up to a higher tier by showing Qurator some support. Let's hope some of the older members can move up in tiers and we can make the whole community a bit stronger. =)

This is by far on of the easiest ways to earn a little extra on your posts. READ the post mentioned in the comment. We are not trying to spam our T0 members, we are trying to help and reward you more. If you need help then you can always come visit us on Discord. =)

Tier Updates Finalized

Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post HERE.

The short version is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements have changed a bit. Please review them.

• A separate account has been created and 30 000 SP has been delegated to it. Hive account@qurator-tier-1-2 will be upvoting Tier 1 and Tier 2 members.

• A large amount of SP was undelegated from Hive account@qurator to accommodate for the new account, BUT the upvote weights have been adjust so they should balance out. Just have to see how the Voting Power holds up with the big change.

Steemauto Curation Trail

RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! The new curation trail is active and running! If you would like to support your fellow Qurites or just earn some extra curation feel free to join our curation trail that is active on Steemauto.

We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.

Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
