Post New Year St Petersburg

In Russia now holidays and we have a rest till January 8th. I am very tired these past months, so I sleep a lot, eat a lot of hehehe and do nothing. Soon this end. Sadly. I realized that I didn't have time to do anything that planned.
Today I was in the Central part of the city. It is very beautiful, as there is illumination. It started snowing and it can be seen in some photos

As the snow flies in St Petersburg, @veta-less takes a few opportunities to snap some images of the holiday lights and scenery.
Did you know in where she lives they have some down time from celebrating the holidays until January 8? I didn't! What a great way to recover from all that holiday cheer.

Targets For 2019

The best way to set a target in my opinion is to make a small target that can be achieved in a span of not too long, say 3 months, then evaluate.
I often see people and corporations dividing their targets into 4 parts, Q1 to Q4, each quarter is evaluated against the set targets

Every year most people make a list of what they want to accomplish throughout the year, but is that BIG list too much? Is it better to look at your goals in smaller groups and times? See what @iqbaladan has to say about doing goals in a quarterly fashion.

Fried Bait

Yunnan snacks are really a lot!
Fried bait, is a Yunnan specialty snack
The bait wire is cut into silk by the bait block and becomes a bait. The bait block was introduced before, and it is made from rice. The bait is generally cooked and fried, and I like to eat fried bait, which is especially delicious

Bait? For dinner? Yes! But not the bait you would be thinking of. See what kind of bait @sunai is talking about in this post. It sure does look delicious!

Mountain Monday: Cobequid Pass

My mountains are more of huge hills than mountains. I’m chuckling to myself as the old adage, ‘Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill’ came into my head....and not the result of a hungover from celebrating New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s Eve was a quiet evening at home mainly because the frig decided to pick the holidays to break down. At one time I would have been at a party or dance on New Year’s Eve but not so much anymore. Wow! My age is showing

Come along for a mountainous road trip in Nova Scotia with @redheadpei. She has had a pretty eventful New Year's so far. But she is taking a moment, and some images, of the hills... I mean, mountains near her home.

Daily Digital- Abstract Art 1- Bohemian Girl- Before/After

I have basically gone back and forth and around in circles with different blog post ideas during the past month...and due to personal reasons have unfortunately been forced to stay away from steemit waaaaaay longer than intended! To put an end to my overthinking...and to finally and officially jump right back into posting something...I have decided to start a new series. I have always very much enjoyed the process of using photo manipulation as the starting point towards creating entirely new and unique digital designs...so here we are

Look at this fabulous art piece @creativesoul has made! All the swirls and the pastels coloring? PERFECT!

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
