Good day all! Not sure if everyone is aware of the current dpoll vote taking place where a project can win a hefty 10K SP delegation, Qurator is fortunate enough to be in the list but we need you vote!

Head over to dpoll to cast you vote or click HERE.

Your vote will be much appreciated and help the Qurator community as a whole. Thanks =)

Welcome to the 499th Daily Edition of the Daily Qurator. Below you will find some awesome members of @qurator that worked hard to post some good quality content for all you awesome Steemians to enjoy!

Steemitmamas Parent Contest: My Greatest Fear As A Parent

The 10 Year Challenge Lucky Draw. I shared in my post a photo of me with Baby Halley in 2009 and a photo of me with Halley and Ryenne in 2019. The year 2009 is the year I officially entered motherhood. Baby Halley entered my life. I am a mother! Wow! Even until now it's still unbelievable to me that I am a mother of three. I have no idea how I make it but I just do...

We all have fears... but sometimes the worst of our fears come out when we become parents. See what @elizacheng's biggest parental fear is in this post. Maybe share your own fears as well.

Orchestral Rehearsals For Weekend Cantata

We begin our 2019 year with the glorious BWV 32 Cantata by JS Bach at the Maranathakerk in Den Haag on Sunday 27th of January. The Maranathakerk has been our little home for the past few years as we have a nice arrangement to provide good quality music for some of their services (in keeping with the Protestant topic of the Sunday) in exchange for the use of the church for our other projects! In fact, it is a nice win-win situation as we get a great rehearsal space whilst giving our best performance of great music for the service

@musciapoetica had a fabulous rehearsal the other day and shares a little bit about this event. From singers to the orchestra setup. Sounds as though everything went off without a hitch.

Chibi Drawing

I continue to try my hand at mastering the wonderful Adobe Illustrator editor.
I really like the Chibi style, so I continue to draw in it. This time I drew a girl. I think it turned out not bad. I am still very far from the master

WHAT an adorable image! @kovatelj has been doing great with their illustrator editor works of art.
Doesn't this little Pixie-looking girl remind you of dolls you used to play with as a little girl?

I've Completed All My College Degree Requirements

About three months ago I made a post stating that I was going to pursue my college education. I am 37 years old and have been working in a trade since I was 17. Well, that trade career is ending and I am moving onto the next chapter of my life.
I thought having a degree might be a nice thing to have now that I am not going to be in my entrenched position of the last 20 years

CONGRATULATIONS to @getonthetrain! What a great accomplishment! Make sure to stop over and send your well-wishes and congratulations to this fellow Qurite!

How I Ended Up In The Spanish Sickness Law Part 2

The end of the weekend was approaching
That meant that I would soon have to work again, at least that was the doctor's advice on Thursday. Unfortunately, it turned out that I could hardly go up or down, so I already knew that I would be able to report to the doctor again on Monday. I did not really look forward to it, given the waiting times and the language barrier, because at that moment we were only quite short in Spain

OH WOW! Did you know our fellow Qurite @anouk.nox had been this sick?
Wait until you read about all the hassles and problems she had; who would have thought all these troubles could come from an illness?

Bigger better monthly subs!

We know not everyone can delegate or upvote for larger upvotes. Thus sending in steem allowed for a larger upvote for the month.

It used to be only two levels.

SUB1 = 0.8 Steem for an upvote from 750 SP
SUB2 = 1.6 Steem for an upvote from 1500 SP

We decided to add three more levels to this, with level 5 adding a little bonus in there!

SUB3 = 2.4 Steem for an upvote from 2250 SP
SUB4 = 3.2 Steem for an upvote from 3000 SP
SUB5 = 4 Steem for an upvote from 4000 SP (250SP Bonus!)

So how does that work?

Let's say you send 3.2 Steem with the memo sub Feb then you will get an upvote from @qurator similar to a 3000 SP account.

Qurator ICO is live!!

Head over to this post to get all the details and get in on all the action!

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help.

Write a post about Qurator.

Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin.

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project.
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it.

Invite a friend.

Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
1	You refer a friend to Qurator	You sponsor a membership to your friend
2	Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: referred by @your_steemit_username	You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: @your_friends_username
3	Our team reviews the account	Our team reviews the account
4	Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote	Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote

Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in THIS post.

Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.

Steemauto Curation Trail

	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. Steemauto guide and registration info

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 surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
