[Remembrance Of A Monster- Republication Of My Works In Word Press And Steemit](https://steemit.com/story/@dresden/rememorandoaunmonstruo-ak0h734xrf)
> The mists wandered through the city knowing that they were masters of the night and giving a thin veil of moisture to what they caressed. The bluish flame of that streetlamp flickered to the sound and with the same grace with which the mists swirled. The closed night invited the honest inhabitants of that emblematic city to take shelter under the roof, on the verge of a good fire, as much or more comforted by the safety of the rudimentary bolt recently installed in the door, as by the warmth of the home 

Are you ready to get your heart pumping? Get your adrenaline rushing? Then you have to read this suspense excerpt that @dresden wrote in this post! Nothing like getting the day off and filled with some epinephrine going to start your day!

[Bugs In The News: Corn Snot Helping End Hunger And Pollution](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@effofex/bugs-in-the-news-corn-snot-helping-end-hunger-and-pollution)
>Believe it or not, there's no need for a nsfw tag. What you're looking at is a very special corn root. In fact, it's so special, it took researchers over 8 years to be sure about what they were looking at. These roots aren't in soil, are covered with a hefty helping of slime, and host a thriving community of very special microbes 

_Oh my_ what are those! Looks like some alien being growing out of the corn cob! But @effofex has an explanation and just wait until you hear what it is!

[Yet Another “Why Steemit Price Doesn't Scare Me” Post In Word Vomit Form](https://steemit.com/blog/@harrisonmir/yet-another-why-steem-price-doesn-t-scare-me-post-in-word-vomit-form)
>Normally I don't really feel like something like this is necessary, but with the current state of crypto everyone is in panic mode. Every other post in my feed is 'I'm still here, I'm still here!', and I totally get it. In the current state we all need a little reassurance, and given I hadn't posted in 5 days or so, I figured I'd do the same 
>Honestly, the low price doesn't really scare me. There aren't many opportunities this day and age where you can get into something totally for free and straight profit from there 

@harrisonmir has a great relaxed and laid back outlook on the dipping price of steem. Do you? Or are you in a panic and facing the _fight or flight_ thinking? Come on over and share your thoughts.

[Driving 17 Hours In Two Days- Ulog 31](https://steemit.com/ulog/@dreemsteem/driving-17-hours-in-2-days-ulog-31)
>There are 2 reasons why I would drive 17 hours in 2 days: 
>* My niece and
>* My nephew.
>For their whole life, we lived half a mile away from them - until last November.  We moved from one paradise to another - but our hearts broke to leave those two little ones behind. Sunday was my niece's 5th birthday party, and wild horses couldn't keep me from her! 

Mermaids, pink cupcakes and a beautiful birthday girl! These are just a few of the things waiting for @dreemsteem at their niece's fifth birthday party! _Look at those smiles!_  And what's this about blue sugar? Take a look!

[Small Libelula- Tiny Dragonfly](https://steemit.com/theunion/@lourdeshd6/pequealibelulatinydragonfly-4ebgxjlf9q)

>I am a lover of photography, although I am not a professional, the truth is that I am passionate. Among the great range of photography, I identify more with the macro; it fascinates me to be able to observe small things in great detail and even more if it is to observe insects, I have been sharing some flower shots for days, so it is time to share some pictures of insects, which are my fascination

Look what @lourdeshd6 found in her garden at home;and she was able to capture this dragonfly with such a close-up shot! _He's got some beady-eyes!_

## 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
