Welcome to the **177th** 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 $0.06 - $1.25!
 
**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

[Our Emotions](https://steemit.com/psychology/@estherikott/our-emotions)
>Emotions are the driving force of any human being, everyday we go through events that can either arouse our emotions or suppress them. Our store of emotions is a double edged sword since it can both help our lives or ruin it depending on how effectively it is put into use. We go as far as our emotions and our minds take us to when reacting to various occurrences in life 

How do you handle anger? What's your first reaction when you get surprised? Are you happy right now?
We have so many emotions and @esthereikott is explaining in this post what triggers our emotions and how we respond to them.

[Goodbye Winter- Welcome Spring](https://steemit.com/weather/@pundito/goodbye-winter-welcome-spring)
>This winter was some kind of different from others. Normally in our region (The Netherlands close to the coast), the coldest winter period is between the beginning of January and middle of February. Last 112 years we had only 8 times white christmas. That's an average of every 14 years. The last time was only 7 years ago in 2010. This gives you an idea of how moderate the zone is I'm living in

Did you have a mild winter? Maybe an above average winter? Lots of snow where you live? Or not so much? Head on over ad have a look at some of @pundito's winter images from this season. It is sure to make you COLD!

[Antique Lamp Restoration With Handmade Shade](https://steemit.com/art/@crystalize/antique-lamp-restoration-with-handmade-shade)
>Well I finally finished my antique lamp restoration and I think it turned out amazing! It is a cultural dazzler... You may remember my post from two weeks ago where I put the antique Indian sari on the fantastic "Mini Turban" frame. Well, here it is in its final glory! 

TAKE a look at this! WOW! What a great project @crystalize is sharing today. It took her about two weeks to complete but this antique lamp is beautiful! She even had a _helper_; and wait until you see who it was.

> However, today I had some beans from my father's garden in the fridge and I said to myself: "why not make a salad and why not present it to the contest?", So I got down to work and ... !!!! Bean salad with products from the family garden

We all want to eat healthier and what's more healthy than having a meal prepared from ingredients you grew and raised yourself! Take a look at @salvao's post and see how a meal was prepared and eaten from their family garden. No store bought ingredients; all homegrown!

>In the heart of the beautiful city of Ishmael, among the wonderful parks and squares is a valuable monument of architecture and architecture of the 19th century — the intercession Cathedral. Most likely it is the main attraction of the city and the pride of local residents 

Come along for a great picture tour and history of this cathedral. @lil4a shares some exquisite views of this 19th century structure!

# <center>The new and improved Qurator bot is live!! </center>

<br>

YES! After about 2 weeks of intense testing and sorting out bugs the new bot is finally ready! 

### How does the new bot work? 

<br>

 After 24 hours of your last upvote, the bot will go look for your most recent post and upvote it. This way Q can really give you an upvote every 24 hours! (If you post often)

With that being said the bot will upvote a lot more and the percentages for Tiers will be adjusted to compensate for the increased voting power drain. 

Tier 1 and Tier 2 will be decreased while Tier 3 to 5 will be slightly increased. 

### The new bot is live and sending out upvotes like it's going out of fashion! No more EDIT / UPDATES! =)

## <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>
