Welcome to the **284th** 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 $0.01 - $4.21!
 
**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

[Dealing With Suicidal Thoughts: Share Your Thoughts Contest](https://steemit.com/contest/@fukumineko/dealing-with-suicidal-thoughts-share-your-thoughts-contest)
>I know by sharing your weakness, people will judge you. Most of them will say you are just an attention seeker, weak, and a lot of negative words that will make you feel more demotivated. So you end up faking a smile and look strong. It is good, some people are good at hiding it. Some people can move on by faking it but like medicine, a medicine cant fix all illness

Talking about this illness is never easy; and people may judge you just as @fukumineko has said, but this state of mind has effected everyone at some point in their life. Stop over to read more and see how you can be supportive to her, or anyone who is contemplating suicide.

>To be honest, I was pretty determined to write about my wedding to my Husband Patrick/@serapium today, because it’s our anniversary AND because it's a weird, somewhat funny in hindsight kind of story… but then this prompt made me write a little bit about the people we were when we got married

Let's all stop over and congratulate @byn and her husband for so many years of marriage. No one ever said marriage was easy and these two definitely beat the odds. Happy Anniversary @byn!!

[Photo Tutorial: Working The Scene](https://steemit.com/photofeed/@derekkind/photo-tutorial-working-the-scene)
>I want to bring you along for an evening of photography at one of the most iconic locations in the Canadian Rockies: Peyto Lake, seen from Bow Summit. I'm going to share with you my process of "working a scene" in changeable conditions, showing how I go through a series of different techniques when I'm in the same spot for a couple of hours waiting for the best light. This scenario is typical of my travels, as I routinely arrive early, stay late and take many, many photos 

Working the scene? Can it be done when taking photographs? ABSOLUTELY! And @derekkind is offering up some professional tips on how to get the best possible picture this way. Stop over and maybe see how to _hone in_ your photography skills and make you images much better.

>Today we'll be back in Marrakech, in Morocco, to explore the markets that punctuate around the Jemaa El Fna Square, the iconic landmark of the city and also a UNESCO world heritage site

Let's take a walk through a night market with @nolasco and her friend. See all the wonderful goods for sale; it appears MANY people like to attend this particular market in Morocco as crowds of shoppers can be seen everywhere.

[Th Super Tequeyoyo Operated](https://steemit.com/food/@crisangel/thesupertequeyoyooperated-j59m7kfscl)
>Since @ropavejero, @luis07 and I (@crisangel) we arrived in Maracaibo, Zulia state of my beautiful country Venezuela, to witness the progress of the implementation of the Educative Ropavejero Project IV (see here) in search of making dreams come true. During our stay they began to talk about a popular tequeyoyo, which according to we should approve them since it is part of one of the meals in the region. When we hear that curious name, we associate it with what we know in our Guariqueño, by the name of Tequeños, our native friends of Maracaibo, tell us that we are right, that they are like Tequeños but in an improved version and in the Zulian style, which It is characterized by being filled with banana, cheese and ham

It may sound like a strange combination.. but it appears all these guys approve of the meal! Maybe @crisangel can share with us just how delicious this sandwich and meal was.

## <center>Standard Image Sourcing for the Qurator Project</center>

<br>

##### Our local Sheriff @brumest wrote an nice and simple post about how to properly source images in order to pass the approval process for the Qurator Project. We see quite a lot of members who get rejected by not using the right images or sourcing incorrectly. We are bringing the hammer down on new and old members. We need to up the quality of posts and in that way up the rewards as well. We know that this might not be the most fun thing to do but in the long run it will pay off, being a respected Steemian/Qurite.

## <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>
