[Freedom Friday No 8- Freedom Of Sexuality](https://steemit.com/freedomfriday/@eaglespirit/freedom-friday-no-8-freedom-of-sexuality)
>This week begins an exploration of sexuality and how freedom is very important to a very basic human need. 
>One of the reasons I chose the topic of sexuality is simply because it is an exciting topic and one that as a human we all explore. Whether or not there was freedom or some sort of hindrance with our exploration, that does not mean we should ever stop exploring our sexuality. This also means those who label themselves as Asexual, at some point in their exploration they were satisfied with their freedom to not be attracted to sexuality 

Even in this day and age, talking about sexuality may be considered _taboo_, but @eaglespirit shares some history that may make you more comfortable with the topic of sexuality.

[A-Wave- A Horror Novel](https://steemit.com/horror/@f3nix/l-wave-a-horror-novel)
>"Ride the wave, thanks to the new cortical dissemination of improved lambda waves!"
>The milky light of the 110-inch holographic screen radiated in the living room. On the floor, an empty cup of Nixio Instant Noodles and some crumpled napkins looked like an archipelago in a parquet sea.

>"Subscribe to LambdaX today and you will benefit from our new and advanced 50-channel dissemination program. You’ve never seen such a broad offer and the first month is free! Enjoy and improve your performances with us. LambdaX: the wave, your wave. "

Are you looking for a little scare this October? After all, it is the _spookiest_ month of the year; and @f3nix has quite a scene to share in this post. So don't hesitate.. head on over.

[We Fell Down To Number 2 In The Netcoins Contest](https://steemit.com/steem/@arunava/we-fell-down-to-number-2-in-the-netcoins-contest)
>Guys, it's Time to go to war. It seems the VERGE community is dead set on Winning this contest as they blew past STEEM to take the Number one spot from us. Once in a while, I like to check out where the contest is and who is at Number one. I was kind of shocked when I saw VERGE at number one

Come on Steemians! It's time we get out the “big guns”! We can't let Verge get the best of us and steem! Have you voted yet? No? Then it's time to do so!

[Talking Turkey](https://steemit.com/esteem/@melinda010100/talking-turkey-cedfda5a13963)
>Almost extinct in the 1930s North America's native wild turkeys have made an excellent comeback! I read that there are an estimated 7 million birds today, and there are a bunch of them that visit my yard regularly
>They eat nuts, insects, berries and snails and use their strong legs to scratch through the leaf litter in the woods in their search for food. They also do a good job scattering the mulch that I put around my landscape plantings

@melinda010100 sure was able to capture some great images of wild turkeys roaming around. Want to learn more about these “feathered friends”? Then stop over to read her post today. FULL of great facts and information.

## Introducing Referral Bonuses! 

<br>

Dear Qurites,

We know times are tough now and we all have to push a little bit harder. We came up with two programs that will help you earn some extra upvotes and visibility from Qurator, and will also help Qurator to reach more Steemians/your friends that need some extra help. 
<br>
## <center>**Write a post about Qurator.**</center>

<br>


Our long time members know how it all works. You have been with us through thick and thin. 

Share your experience with your friends and followers. We would love to know how our members see Qurator and what they like (or don't) the most about the project. 
Feel free to write in your own native language. We are open to all languages and have already translated our main Qurator post to several languages.
Well written posts will receive some extra upvote love from Qurator and a resteem. :) Feel free to drop your post link in our Daily Qurator comment section, so we don't miss it. 
<br>
## <center>**Invite a friend.**</center>

<br>


Do you know someone who is starting out? Or maybe someone who is posting great posts for a while but still need more exposure? Refer Qurator to your friend and after they get approved and become a member you will also receive a bonus 1SBD upvote on your most recent posts.

There are two ways to do it and this is how it works:

||<center>Option 1 - Referrals</center> |<center>Option2 - Sponsorship</center>|
|-|-|-|
|1|You refer a friend to Qurator| You sponsor a membership to your friend |
|2|Your friend sends registration fee to Qurator and mentions your name in the memo: `referred by @your_steemit_username`|You send registration fee to @qurator with your the person's name in memo: `@your_friends_username`|
|3|Our team reviews the account|Our team reviews the account|
|4|Your friend is approved - you receive a 1SBD upvote|Your friend is approved - you receive 1SBD upvote|



Keep in mind that all registration rules still apply and all account will be reviewed by our team. You can read about content requirements in [THIS](https://steemit.com/qurator/@qurator/qurator-3-0-update-post-guidelines-or-registration-details-or-tier-changes) post. 





*Note: Both programs are open to everyone, not only Qurator members.*

# Steemauto Curation Trail

<br>

|  |  |
| -- | -- |
|https://steemitstageimages.com/DQmRviZWBhhxeNa6TSQKpSitHj3XHmGC24WUxn9uUVTWCG6/steemauto.png| 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. <br>[Steemauto guide and registration info](https://steemit.com/guide/@scrooger/steemauto-full-guide-and-how-to-register)|

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 surprise for a lucky trailer. =P
