<br>

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](https://steemit.com/life/@erodedthoughts/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](https://steemit.com/photofeed/@jfolkmann/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](https://steemit.com/photography/@fiftysixnorth/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.

See how @rayfa and fellow Aceh citizens celebrate a wedding. What are the guests required to do? How does the wedding party make all this magic happen?

One quarter pound of homemade burger went into this juicy sandwich. Bacon... meat... and all the fixings? Sounds like @intrepidsurfer knows how to do it up right!

## <center>Steemauto Curation Trail</center>

<br>

<center>https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png</center>

<center>RIP Streemian and hello Steemauto! 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. 

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 </center>
