[The Mountain Maid- Beautiful Sunday](https://steemit.com/steempress/@watersnake101/themountainmaid-beautifulsunday-hvbijwjxhz)
>Located in Baguio Benguet, Philippines known as The Good Shepherd Convent. This place is always a part of the destination for tourists that visits everyday. The place was originally a school ministry conducted by sisters to harbor orphans who are in need of protection. With the increase of students under their care, providing provisions for the children has become a challenge 

Let's take a tour of the mission The Mountain Maid Training and Development Foundation and the surrounding area in the Philippines with @watersnake101. There is so much history here and so many beautiful things to see here.

[The Monekyzuelans- The Origin Of Our Username](https://steemit.com/mysteemitname/@themonkeyzuelans/the-monkeyzuelans-the-origin-of-our-username)
>Behind @themonkeyzuelans there are two people, in fact we are a couple, our real names are Victoria Olivares and William Fuenmayor, but you can find out a little more about us in our introductory post, this post is to tell you why we use this username and of course some anecdotes about it 

What does the username @themonkeyzuelans means? I had no clue! But after reading this post I discovered the meaning is... well, I'm not going to spoil the surprise. Head over and see how this fellow Qurite came up with their name!

[New Food Boasting Photo Contest 8 Plus Last Week's Winners!](https://steemit.com/foodboasting/@karenmckersie/new-food-boasting-photo-contest-8-plus-last-weeks-winners)
>A new Food Boasting #foodboasting Photo Contest #8 Has Started! With Food Boasting being all the rage these days on Instagram I thought it would be awesome to start a new Tag here on Steemit, which is why I have started a weekly contest and if its popular enough and is successful, I will keep it going until the New Food Boasting Tag Starts!  

Maybe you don't like to cook and test your culinary skills but you want to share your romantic dinner out. Maybe you just sat down to one of the most delectable looking desserts and you want to share the image. Well look no further than @karenmckersie's newest challenge called “Food Boasting”. Stop over to this post to see how you can participate.

[Spectrum Economics Updated Website](https://steemit.com/steem/@spectrumecons/kwia7soo)
>I have updated my Spectrum Economics website. I am now using my website to also promote Steem, Steemit, and my Steem activities. After being on the Steem platform for over a year, I feel very confident about the future of the platform. I feel that I should be spending more time promoting Steem off the platform. I have been sharing my posts to Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube and sometimes Instagram. Putting Steem on my website takes that a step further 

@spectrumecons has expanded his website and it includes many aspects of steem and so many other steem related topics. See what a fabulous job he's done creating and updating the website. Maybe you can get some ideas on how to promote steem and get m ore out of the platform.

[Photo Fun Contest- Week 21- Old & Abandoned- “Remember When?”](https://steemit.com/abandonedphotocontest/@trudeehunter/photo-fun-contest-week-21-old-and-abandoned-remember-when)
>Remember when things fell apart
When from each other we did depart?
Every failure I tried to dissect
In the absence of hope and self-respect 

Have you  ever just seen an old building; all dilapidated and falling down, and your mind just wanders wondering how this once useful building became nothing but a heap of nothing? You can almost compare the analogy to your relationships. Stop over and read @trudeehunter's post to see how she pus into words her thoughts about this structure.

# 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
