Welcome to the 104th 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 $0.13 - $1.28!
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

No Free Money!
@mineoply is learning the “ropes” of steemit and has some advice to share with other steemians; some is a reminder of not all things in life are free and the other lesson is to share.
This is my Christmas present for all Steemians in 2018, "Let's make friends." Sounds silly, but true. Upvote your friend's material when you think it is good and you think it's useful to others and that others may enjoy it too
In regards to “free money”, stop over at his post to see how he feels he lost out by not reading between the lines of a post and its content.

Should We Panic Now?
Do you have goals? Do you write a list of New Year's Resolutions?
We set goals because we want to feel that we can achieve something, and gather all our limited resources for the year into what we think we can achieve within that period. Without setting goals, we might be feeling adrift, and we will still wander around trying to find what to focus on
@legrandkei recommends you use the S.M.A.R.T. plan.
Or Specific - Measurable - Achievable - Relevant - Time-bound goals.

Rock Types And The Rock Cycle
this post really took me back to junior high and high school science class! But surprisingly enough, I remembered the three rock types! How about you? Can you name them? Check out @mountainwashere's post and see how well you did.
In preparation for my upcoming Plate Tectonics Week, I'm presenting the rock types and rock cycle- the basic ideas of geology. For each rock type, I'll be presenting a non-comprehensive list of traits used to identify and classify rocks

Cycling California- Almaden Reservior, Past A Memorial For Patrick Tillman
Let's take a bike ride with @glennolua on this 24-mile cycling excursion today!
Across from Almaden Quicksilver Park, there is a memorial for Patrick Tillman. His name was in the news around 2004/5 as he was killed while in the armed forces in Afganistan... He was a professional football player for the Arizona Cardinals, a DB/Safety. He left football so he could serve time in the US Army.
Make sure to thank a service man or woman this holiday season for all his or her sacrifices.
Right next to his memorial is this placard about the mining that was done here in the early 1800's

The Crimson Seed Of Life Number 1- Ephemeral Art Original Photography
Stop over at @allyinspirit's post today and see how her creativity starts and what her process is to create such beautiful art and photographs. Read how she “digs” deep into her soul for inspiration.
I like the idea of sharing this journey with everyone here at Steemit. And I feel the nudge of 'Now is the time.'... At times like these with fresh ideas in the forming, I sometimes draw my 'preliminary sketches' in the earth. I know these 'sketches' will be returned to the earth: Wind and rain, leaf litter and animal scuffling will obscure them

Xmas support from our upvote bot!
With the price of SBD going crazy we decided to give you a little boost from our support bot @qustodian. Until the 1st of January 2018 our bot will be giving out 3 (instead of 2.5) times the upvote to the amount of SBD you send him!
The bot is Qurator exclusive and will upvote all Qurites with an upvote of 3.0 times the worth of what you send it, up to $0.95!
Delegators will see a payouts of 90% of all SBD earned by the bot.
We now have our own forum on chainBB.com
The Qurator Community Forum can be viewed using the following link: https://chainbb.com/f/qurator-community
New Tiers Update
Streemian Trail Account is here!
You may have noticed that your upvotes from @qurator packed a little bigger punch! @scrooger and @ethandsmith are now trailing the @qurator account and will be sending you some extra upvotes from our side as well. It's not much but every upvote counts!
You can also follow the trail and send upvotes to fellow Qurator members when @qurator upvotes them. To set up a Streemian account only takes a few minutes and is a great way to earn some extra curation.
We suggest NOT following the trail at 100% since we do not want to drain too much of your precious voting power. Play around with your percentage and if you see your voting power being drained too much you can simply lower your % in Streemian. If you have a lot of voting power to spare you can consider a larger %.
If you need any help or have questions come visit our #support channel on Discord.
