Welcome to the 234th 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 - $11.34!

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

Back Acres: How To Make Beeswax Candles With Citronella

Over the winter my wife traded two wreaths - that she had crafted - for two jars of honey and a plateful of Beeswax. The trade was detailed in this post: Barter System: Scored Two Large Jars of Ontario Honey and a Plate Full of Beeswax. After a recent successful trade with another one of her wreaths for a small bottle of citronella essential oil - my wife made five candles with the beeswax and citronella oil - while I carefully documented the process

GREAT trade! And what a fabulous way to use the citronella! Keep the bugs away and being able to enjoy some time outdoors all the while knowing you made this insect repellent candle.

Wildlife Of Mto wa Mbu Village- African Stories Entry 8

My time in Mto wa Mbu wasn't all spent in the clinic doing service work. I did go out and explore the area occasionally. The village is thriving with wildlife and can sometimes be a nuisance to the clinic and the villagers. Every morning monkeys and baboons run amok and steal food and other items that are left outside. Then right after sunrise they are chased out of the village

Hive account@derangedvisions locked eyes with a baboons and could feel the hair on their neck stand up. Come along for an adventure of a lifetime in this post; and see how cute baby baboons are up close.

Hunting Kona Treasures

So my friend let me keep her Jeep after taking off for Maui, and I decided to do what she recommended. Jump off the cliff of the southern most point in the US. I got there and I took a wrong turn. Apparently there was a green sand beach there too. The road became more and more undone and I decided that I would walk the rest of the way.

Maui is a beautiful place to visit and explore so take a look at some of the spectacular views Hive account@poodai was able to capture on this solo journey and hiking excursion recently.

Just So You'll Know

Then out of the blue, the Suburban (which was very slightly ahead of me) turns right,
from the LEFT lane, in front of my white KIA Soul... I hit my brakes and swerved as much as I could without hitting the concrete storm drain, but it didn't stop the impact.
He didn't stop at first, so I was going to follow so I could at least get a pic of his tag

Hive account@jerrytsuseer had a bad day! I bet anyone else who's ever been in a car crash can relate. Head over and wish him well. Luckily he wasn't hurt.

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. =)

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 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
