<br>

Welcome to the **229th** 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 $0.05 - $13.55!
 
**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

>  I'm sure Im not the only one who wish that this could be their ticket for their freedom but can we really do it? After being approved as Steem Ambassador by #promo-steem, I decided to go full-time promoter/marketer for Steemit and other Steem related projects...   I will have to rely on my post earnings on my everyday expenses for the next 30 days starting today!

Have you ever thought about or considered having steemit as your only income? What are your goals? Can you one day say goodbye to that typical 9-to-5 job? See how @francispalo is calculating what he needs to do to make this happen.

[History Of Nutella](https://steemit.com/history/@vipnata/history-of-nutella)
>In the distant 40s of the last century Pietro Ferrero had a small bakery from his father. He baked bread, but had little income. Then Pietro decided to bake cakes, which brought a good income, but could buy mostly wealthy people 

Have you ever wondered where Nutella was created? Are you addicted to the delicious creamy treat? Well @vipnata gives a little background and history on this _yummy_ spread.

@jsf spent a great day with some potential young artists at a geometric workshop. Stop over to see some of the artwork these young students learned and are sharing.

[Sunset Hour On The River- Magical Beauty Of Nature](link)
>The evening was warm and calm. The wind died down. All around was frozen in anticipation of the magic hour, when the sun gently kisses the Earth for the night

Some days you just have to take a moment and reflect; and what better way then to take a stroll and enjoy the scenery around you. Have a look at @anna-mi's images in this post and see what she's been thinking as she walks along a river at sunset.

[Spring Primavera Soup](https://steemit.com/vegan/@lenasveganliving/spring-primavera-soup)
>This is one of my favorite and oldest recipes that is on my blog, however, I made some changes and I took new photos last week. Today I have finally time to share it with you and I highly recommend you to try. It is perfect for this time of year, because it's very refreshing, yet satisfying. I know you may wonder about the lemon grass, however, make sure you do no skip this ingredient, since it adds delicious and unique flavor

What a delicious sounding soup! So comforting! And the lemon grass? Yes... if you haven't used this herb in your culinary creations, you really need to. It adds such a fabulous flavor.

##  <center>Toss up Thursday #5 Winners!</center>

<br>

Whaaaat!? This competition is by far the easiest on out there. It does take a little bit of planning and some participation but the rewards are well worth it! With about 10 entries the competition is easy and teaming up with some fellow Qurites this one is a now brainer to get that T5 membership. 

Congratulations: @zephalexia - You had **ZERO** upvotes and took the Tier 5 prize for 30 days easily!! Well done for sneaking in 3 minutes before the deadline! That's what Toss up Thursday is all about! =)  

Congratulations: @anouk.nox - You and a few others were in the run for the other Tier 5 prize. In the event of a tie we pick the Qurite who participated more. 

Your Tier 5 upgrades are on their way! Enjoy the 30 days of bigger upvotes!

<center>@qurator-tier-0 comment</center>

<br>

#### We will be sending out some comments with the Tier 0 upvote. We don't think many of the members are  aware that it is really easy to move up to a higher tier by showing Qurator some support. Let's hope some of the older members can move up in tiers and we can make the whole community a bit stronger. =)

##  <center>Tier Updates Finalized</center>

<br>

Tier updates are out and finalized. You can check out the post [HERE](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-tier-changes). 

The short version is that Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements have changed a bit. Please review them. 

- A separate account has been created and 26 000 SP has been delegated to it. @qurator-tier-1-2 will be upvoting Tier 1 and Tier 2 members. 

- A large amount of SP was undelegated from @qurator to accommodate for the new account, BUT the upvote weights have been adjust so they should balance out. Just have to see how the Voting Power holds up with the big change.

## <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>
