Welcome to the 145th 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 $0.18 - $1.64!
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

Epiphany On Last Night's Super Blue Blood Moon
As I was waiting for the Super Blue Blood Moon last night, I was so excited. I have readied everything I need, my DSLR, my bike, my snacks and my coffee but to my dismay, the night sky was very cloudy and all I can see was just the moonlight covered by the clouds.
I told myself, maybe in a few minutes the clouds will clear, so I waited until 8 pm but still it’s the same cloudy sky
While @iamkuyaj wasn't able to see the super blue blood moon, he did have some time to reflect on happiness in life, how to be content and what a person needs to do to find his or her place in the world. Come on over and read the post. Share your own insights about happiness and your own life's purpose.

Travel Japan JR- Hokkaido Series- Hakodate Night View
Our trip started from Tokyo, as we embarked on a 6 hours train ride on the Hayabusa Shinkansan and Express train from Aomori to Hakodate.
This was before the opening of the Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Shinkansen. Now, it only takes 4 hours from Tokyo to Shin-Hakodate, all on the Shinkansen
Long rides ahead. What to do?
Come along for another trip and journey with @jrvacation as they travel around Hokkaido, Japan. The night views are spectacular!
The night view was quite magnificent.

Faulty- Oil Print Of A Fake Mate Potrait
In this journey of me learning the Oil Print Process I've tried quite a lot of things
Do you know much about oil prints? Have you ever attempted to make one? @muratsariyar shows you how one is done using a gelatin mixture. Yes, gelatin? Head on over to see the process.
I pour the gelatin onto paper on a leveled table and I put borders for the area I wanna pour- by placing glasses (the ones with blue tape) so that the desired amount of gelatin stays in the right spot.

Green Ninjas- Gardening Social Service
Today, I am going to introduce you to my social service at the school I attend, United World College Robert Bosch in Freiburg, Germany. Our life is filled with lots of studying but also filled with plenty of social work, various activities, creative workshops, and of course, entertainment. The focus will be on the gardening
Our team is very diverse. We have students from Turkey, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam, Germany, Norway, Srya, Iraq, France, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Each of us contributes in a different way, with something we previously learned back home
NEWS
Registration Fee Increase to 4 STEEM
When Qurator started 145 days ago the registration fee was 1SBD/STEEM after 100 members we had to increase the fee to 2SBD/STEEM to make room for new members and get more Delegations in order to keep the upvotes fair to investors/supporters.
We kept the fee to 2SBD/STEEM for the next 900 members but now that we have grown as much as we did and the fact that SBD/STEEM prices are so volatile. We will be changing the Registration fee to 4 STEEM (NOT SBD). We will no longer accept SBD for registration, simply because we need the STEEM to lease and renew Delegations from the @minnowboosters market. We do this with a heavy heart but it is necessary to keep up with our current leases and to get some new ones in order to keep supporting new members. If we do not increase the fee, we will not be able to accept new members. That is not something we want to do, but sadly we are not getting much whale support on when it comes to upvoting the Qurator Posts.
Effective immediately as soon as we reach 1000 members the fee will be increased to 4 STEEM. Currently at 916 members there are 84 slots left at the old rate. After they have been approved and registered it will be 4 STEEM.
Steemit Challenges on Discord

New Tiers Update
Steemauto Curation Trail
We suggest not following the trail with 100%, try around 2-3% and see how it goes, do not want to drain your voting power too much. Qurator upvotes a lot and might take a lot of your bandwidth as well so if you do not have a lot of SP maybe don't join the trail just yet. =)
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
