Welcome to the 215th 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 $0.04 - $7.40!

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

They Waited For Me!! My Yearly Tradition During Spring Season

As much as I love the cool weather, I am nothing but glad that the loooooooong winter has ended and I have overcome my third winter in Japan... Now, spring is here and so is my favorite part of it, SAKURA (Cherry Blossoms)... The spring season is one of the busiest time for Japan. For one, as warmth replace the cold weather, the economic and school year starts

Let's take a moment and enjoy the beautiful images Hive account@korinkrafting shares with the cherry blossoms coming back to life and introducing the start of spring. She shares the Meguro River Sakura Festival in this post and you can almost smell the sweetness from these blossoms coming through your screen.

Busy.org To Newbies And Other Users

To many newbies and some users on steemit, the first notion is that steemit.com is the only website where you can access your details on the Steem blockchain. I also had this thinking when I first joined, but with months of exploring I got to know about other platform that can be used to access the blockchain

Do you use busy.org to post on steemit? Hive account@zoneboy gives us all a quick tutorial on the advantages to using this application. If you haven't heard of it, or are considering using the busy application, then head over to see if it's right for you.

Children Are Future Generations

Children are the successors of a nation, state and religion. wherever it is incontrovertible that children are future generations of the future... basically children follow the footsteps of their parents to get to a direction of travel in this life, parents are important figures for a child who will direct it to the right path or to the path of apostasy

Being a good role model for your children is a crucial aspect of their future; and for them to become productive members of society. Read Hive account@khairulmuammar's post about their feelings and thoughts regarding this topic.

Hive account@vadimlasca	spanish

She Is Oriana, Oriana Lasca, And She Is My Daughter

While organizing ideas for this, several labor projects were approved that were pending, so the time I had planned to carry out this work was completely affected, however I did not want to miss the opportunity to present a work. I tried then to make my life easier and to work on the premise of simplifying the project, so it occurred to me to make a documentary video about my daughter Ori

For a challenge with Hive account@sndbox, Hive account@vadimlasca decided to take a previous post about his daughter's vitiligo and turn his written word into a documentary. Stop over and watch this video documentary and see how well it is put together and why Hive account@vadimlasca is getting some calls from film festivals.

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

The new weights for Hive account@qurator-tier-1-2 are likely to change since we are not 100% sure how many Tier 1 and Tier 2 members post. We need to see some new averages to find a new balance.

Update: Seems like the VP is holding steady for Hive account@qurator-tier-1-2. It is weekend though and we know people post less over the weekend. Will keep it at 2 and 4 percent for now.
