The Daily Qurator #213
Welcome to the 213th 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!
The @qurator project was created to help give Steemians some extra exposure and awesome upvotes currently worth around $0.03 - $5.19!
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

Electromagnetic Coffin
I can't really say I am scared of death, but no, I don't want life to end. I have finally started going to the doctors on a regular basis after a few decades of daily pain. I blame my wife for this, she makes me go. I guess she can see it in my face when I move and hear it in my voice when I speak
Have you had an MRI before? Are you claustrophobic? Do you have fears of this small tube that the medical professionals want to put you in? See how @erodedthoughts handled this situation and share your own experience.

An Entire Country In Bloom- Sakura- Cherry Blossoms- Series Two
For a little over two weeks the whole country comes out to enjoy the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms. I wonder if there is another place in the world that places so much importance on beauty and presentation. I personally think this carries over into the rest of Japanese life. From they way they package the simplest goods, to the attention given to public spaces and even to how much importance is put on clothing and dress
The bloom of cherry blossoms across the world every spring seem to rush in the feeling of spring.
Stop in and see some great images of the cherry blossoms in Japan. @jfolkmann shares some delicate images of these beautiful trees and blossoms.

A Day At The Races
Saturday was my GFs birthday. She wanted to go 'to the races'. I'm not entirely sure why but its something her family goes to do now and then. So we went with them... So off we went to the Scottish Borders to a town called Kelso where the race course is. There is a certain structure to these events.. allow me to share what I have learned with you about how these days work
Horse racing and people watching are just a few images @fiftysixnorth shares in this post today. Set aside the rainy weather conditions, it looks as if he had a good day celebrating his girlfriend's birthday this year.

Steemauto Curation Trail
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

Oooh nice! Thanks for featuring my post here :) and for using my image as the cover photo :) Also loved reading the other featured articles.. especially the cherry blossom post by @jfolkmann, so good! Makes me want to jump on a plane to Japan.
You are most welcome! Happy to help members with extra exposure this way too.
Japan here we go ;)
:)
Wow - where on earth do you guys find these posts? @erodedthoughts' struck a cord as I had an MRI recently.
As you already have so many votes (nearly 750 - but just one comment), and mine is not worth enough for the project - i will reserve mine for next time.
You gave all 100% votes. Why do you say that. You are tier 2
last voted post = [ trumanity/promises-and-the-salt-of-the-working-class-original-poetry-by-an-african-socialist ]
last upvote = [ 2018-04-12 01:54:48 ]
current tier = [ 2 ]
From the voting bot and even the tier post has you listed as tier 2
Yes. Thanks for acknowledging that I supported with 100. More than that Because i joined for community I also read your posts visited most posts commenting enacted and supported with upvotes on those posts.
I don't intend to continue up voting these I'll save my VP for community support. My vote value is worth less than my interactions are worth. I've read that people like me who fell for tbe word LIFETIME are foolish suckered and salty. So I'll keep my dust for those who may appreciate it
It is still a lifetime vote. That is what the registration fee is for. The higher upvotes have their own requirements. Did you join with the wrong impressions of the project?
No I did not have a wrong impression. I am awar ethe requirement to get toT1 and T2 is to support the qurator posts and those posts selected by curators. That is a good model because it encourages community engagement, quality and support and rewards being given if I follow and upvote and comment.
The proposal for changes to T1 and T2 last week implied that folks (a blanket statement was put out which I read as applying to myself) have not given enough to the project. The requirements will be substantially altered - and you suggest that I came in with the wrong impressions - it amounts to saying, I didn't read the fine print. Really? I am disappointed. I read another qurite imply that "lifetime doesn't mean lifetime" and that anyone with that impression to use your words, is just salty. This is condescending to the max and I am very disappointed in this attitude. But more so, with the pending degredation of quality and community engagement.
My upvotes did not amount to 2 Steem - hence I said, my upvotes were not enough.
Regards
Thomas
