Benefits Of Coffee Flower
Who does not know coffee, almost all of us even drink it every day, especially in Aceh, for coffee lovers, without coffee like a train without fuel the meunan . However, in this post I do not discuss about coffee, we will review a little part of the coffee itself, the coffee flower
From helping to lower your body's sugar level in diabetes to making your heart healthier, come along and read about how coffee flowers, not the beans, can improve your overall health. @amri shares some great information in this post.

DIY 103: Pixie Night
Do you believe in fairies? When I was a kid I loved watching Peter Pan just to see Tinkerbell coz I've always been fascinated by how she dressed, how she looked and how magical those pixie dusts were. I even day-dreamed of being one of those fairies who can fly around the world and see that magical place called the 'Neverland'. So to relive my childhood in me, I've created this simple yet fancy lantern that I can use every night
All you need are printed images, string of lights or any battery operated lights, used/empty mason jar, glue, scissors and spray paint and you too can make this cute light up fairy jar! @dlyn makes this DIY project look so easy... and beautiful! Imagine your little girl having one in her bedroom as a night light!

Argentina Slowly Turns Into A Desert... And Burns
It all started about a year ago last summer, with some unusually high temperatures. Slowly but surely, the usual monthly precipitations started arriving later and later, and in fewer quantities. On average, this was one of the hottest years, even during winter... Some provinces have been 8 months without rain, causing not only loss of harvest, but cracked soils like this where nothing grows
The worst drought in a century? See what has been happening to Argentina in @wolfenlord's post. Devastation, dried up rivers and wildfires are plaguing the country. Join @wolfenlord with some prayers for the population of this South American country.
NEWS
Toss up Thursday Winners!
Congratulations to @whitehoune, @yingzoe and @lukaluci!
You two seem to have snuck in before the deadline and silently dropped of your comments. Even though you still managed to get some upvotes, it was not enough to knock you two out!
Congrats! Your Tiers will be upgrades shortly, enjoy the Tier 5 upvotes for the next 30 days!
Toss up Thursday went pretty well! Not as chaotic as we expected. Thank you to everyone who took part and really appreciate sticking to the rules. We also got quite a lot of feedback about possible changes. Will consider them and make changes.
Think it was a great success and will definitely be doing another one next week!
Note: We used steemd to keep track of the upvotes, BUT it also kept track of unvotes. This is rather interesting and we did expect some testing with this new game since it is new. Will adjust the rules a bit for the next round.
The new and improved Qurator bot is here!
Why the new bot?
The current bot had a 24 hour timer built in, thus you can only get upvotes 24 hours apart. Missing that window and you might not get your upvote. This resulted in posts not getting upvotes. The old EDIT and UPDATE trick always worked its magic but was a bit of a hassle.
Out with the old, in with the new!
The new bot will search for posts to upvote 24 hour after your previous upvote. If you posted 2 post in a 24 hour period it will go back and upvote your posts. (More details to follow)
The new bot will be active withing the next 24 hours. We are busy getting everything ready and transferring databases. During this time both @qurator and @qurator-tier-0 will be offline. Please understand and be patient while we handle the necessary upgrades.
The bot is completely new and even though we did test it, there might still be some errors that we have to work out during the next few days.
UPDATE: We are seeing some minor issues with the bot and will be testing it more on the @qurator-tier-0 account. Once it is stable on that account and all the bugs have been sorted out we will let it go live on the main @qurator account.
UPDATE 2: Worked out most of the kinks and will be running it for a while on @qurator-tier-0. If the test goes well then we will start using it on @qurator. =)
UPDATE 3: Looks like we worked out most of the bugs and will be doing a long run to see if the bot is stable. If it is then after this weekend we should be using the new bot on the main @qurator account.
UPDATE 4: Rough weekend for Steemit nodes. Steemit was down a bit and nodes were bombing out. Took a toll on the old bot. The new bot was also affected but not as drastically as the old one. Think that's a good thing. Still working out some kinks and polishing here and there.
UPDATE 5: Think we got most of the bugs sorted out, bot has been stable for 24 + hours. This means it will be heading to the main Qurator account pretty soon!

The bot is Qurator exclusive and will upvote all Qurites with an upvote of 2.65 times the worth of what you send it, up to $1.20+!
Delegators will see payouts of 90% of all SBD earned by the bot.
New Tiers Update
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
