Welcome to the 222nd 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 - $10.37!

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

Variety Of Wedding Party Events

Adat is norms and habits that are often done in an area or often done by some community groups. Culture is a way or pattern of community life that developed from the legacy of previous people and developed by a new generation in accordance with the times. Customs and culture in a region will be different because Indonesia has various cultural diversity in general

Learning about other culture's festivities and marriage ceremonies can be very interesting. Hive account@umarcivil shares some iamges and facts in this post from Aceh.

Possible Use Of Pine Resin

Pine resin is an organic secretion that appears on pine trees in places where the bark is damaged. Just as our blood coagulates to form a scab and stop bleeding, the tree secures resin to cover the wound, protecting it from pest infestation. It hardens, forming a strong barrier against harmful elements from the environment. In people, resin is called zhivice and is widely used in folk medicine

Hive account@elena1987 shares some interesting facts about pine tree resins and its uses. Wait until you see what the tree resin can do for your health, as an adhesive and for starting fires.

Armchair Psychology- How To Communicate With People

We communicate everyday. Now we communicate even more due to the internet, social media and other modern conveniences. At the same time, all these conveniences significantly decrease the quality of verbal communication. We don’t need many words to communicate using messengers, so it got harder to make long well-built sentences. We don’t see our interlocutor, so we lose extralinguistic part of communication, like body language or voice pitch. We are deprived of the possibility to make communication more effective using non-verbal means, so we lose this skill

Do you have problems communicating with people? Do you tend to be shy when in crowds? Stop over and read Hive account@cookiespooky's post about how to become a social butterfly and learn to interact with people more.

NEWS

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. =)

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 26 000 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
