Welcome to the **286th** 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 - $4.02!
 
**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

[Vrancea: Walking Through The Tiles Keys In Autumn Colors](https://steemit.com/life/@szokerobert/vranceawalkingthroughthetileskeysinautumncolors-nzl09wnldh)
>After the tour in Crai at the end of summer I felt the need to take a break, to get a little out of the socket. We came after a long line of departures and arrivals, running in all directions, and in September I felt the need to rest, to recalibrate and to feel again how the crazy mountain riddle grows in me. And it worked. And when I called the fall, I could not resist 

The views are spectacular in this post! @szokerobert takes us all on a great car trip and journey from waterfalls to a mountain hike. Come and see some amazing views!

[One Day In Datong City Part 2](https://steemit.com/placestoremember/@rayshiuimages/one-day-in-datong-city-part-2)
>Here starts part two of our one day in Datong's old inner city... So after seeing some pretty cool stuff from atop the City Wall, we attempted to go take a closer look at some of the structures 
>Huayan Plaza is right beside the Huayan Temple complex. It is like an ancient strip mall with modern shops like souvenirs, restaurants, coffee shops etc. Part 3 of our single day in Datong's "Inner Old City" is where we go inside to check out the Huayan Temple complex. So we'll conclude Part 2 with some shots around the plaza, just outside the Temple 

@rayshiuimages shares a walk through tour of Datong City with some great places to visit, the people of the city and if you want more, there's another post they have on their page. Make sure to check out BOTH of the posts.

[Fried Ice Cream Dessert And Facts](https://steemit.com/foodphotography/@joyrobinson/fried-ice-cream-dessert-and-facts)
>Fried ice cream is a dessert made from a scoop of ice cream, coated in raw eggs, rolled in cornflakes, cookie or chocolate crumbs and quickly deep-fried... I love the sweet and crunchiness of this dessert and thinking of making my own version one of this days

Do you know what the three variations of fried ice cream are? @joyrobinson shares those, plus her favorite and a little history about how this delicious dessert came about in this post today.

[Food Blog: Dinner At One & Only Royal Mirage Palace, Dubai](https://steemit.com/foodphotography/@explorernations/food-blog-dinner-at-one-and-only-royal-mirage-palace-dubai)
>As you notice, everything in Dubai is bigger, better, and more luxurious. Thus, even the shopping malls and restaurants are the same. Considering Dubai is a cosmopolitan city, it's not a surprise to find an immense variety of food choices here. Since my boyfriend and I love beach-side barbecue, thus, we have chosen a hotel restaurant to dine in downtown Dubai

Let's take a food tour with @explorernations to the fabulous Royal Mirage Palace in Dubai. See what delectable foods are on the menu tonight.

[Ambition](https://steemit.com/spanish/@purapapita/ambicin-hfl3ogvfnn)
>The engine of innovation, prosperity, abundance, desire... Wanting more is not wrong, they have a fear or categorize ambition as a danger, obviously too much anything turns bad, but there is nothing wrong, it is part of human nature to want to revolutionize, overcome, transform, I would say it is your future vision of how you want things to be, obviously we always want that future to be better than it is now as the price of a cryptocurrency increases or decreases, staying at the same price is impossible with the demand and supply that currently exists.

@purapapita shares their views about the economy, money and ambition on how to succeed.  From being psiritual to understanding your own passion; share you views in this post.

## <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>
