111 Roses

Spiky on Valentine's day wanted to make a surprise for Pinky. He went to animal's market on the city hall square in Browneartopia and looked for red roses. A donkey was selling a whole bunch of them from his cart

111 roses? That's such an unusual number! But why? Read @organduo's post to see how this came about! Then see what happens... Does Pinky get all 111?

Unzipped 1- Worn Out Words

After another stretch of silence – for reasons unknown – I've begun writing again; pouring my soul's anguish onto both physical and online spaces.
While I don't always feel called to publish these decidedly personal missives, this one is asking to be shared.
This is the unguarded truth of my depression – the everyday reality of it.

@zipporah shares a personal writing they had written just the other day and pours out great emotion. See what they're saying and let's give our fellow Qurite some support!

I'm feeling just bold enough to let it be heard.

Deliver Me Inspiration

I sit in silence and hear the humming sounds of inspiration
Inside-Out reflective strumming chords in flight
whispers echoing thoughts suspended
waiting for a spark to ignite

@youhavewings pens an inspirational poem helping us to remember certain melodies and how they either influenced our life or took us back in time to a certain memory. Beautifully written!

Smelly Post- Homemade Shrimp Paste- Kapi

By just looking at the photos, you would probably don't feel it. If you see it in person like one American friend just did, you would probably exclaim the same thing 'What the hell is that?'. It smells like sea, it smells fishy, and for some people (most of them), they think it smells unpleasant. This is Kapi (กะปิ) or shrimp paste

Ever wondered how shrimp paste is made? @waybeyondpadthai shares some images about how it's made. But really... how bad is the smell? Good thing we don't have smell-o-vision on our computers!

Temptation

The desire to stray and go the wrong way
So intense that it's difficult to resist
A sweet path that brings about mind troubles

@donefezy has written an unbelievable poem about the way temptation can get the best of us. Once we give into temptation, there is no going back.

Temptation so strong, it's eating me deep
Decision once made, action will be undone

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
