Prickly Plant

Today I'm sharing a photo that I took a few weeks ago while visiting my parent's house. As you may remember, several weeks ago I shared some photos of a vase of flowers that my parents had. This was one of the plants that I didn't end up sharing at the time. I'll be honest, I really have no idea what type of flower this is; perhaps it would be easier once it bloomed? I'd imagine that each of the small groupings on the central core would bloom into a separate flower, but I honestly have no idea. I do know that I definitely wouldn't want to touch any of the leaves shooting out from it's base - with all of those sharp pieces, I'm sure it would hurt quite a bit!

OUCH! You definitely don't want to touch this one! Look at all those spikes and needles! @shawkr13 needs to steer clear of this plant... it doesn't look too friendly at all!

How To Draw Fantastic Characters- Part 3

This genre has stellar exponents such as the stories of JRR Tolkien and George RR Martin, the saga The Witcher, among others, emerged from European folklore; but this genre transcends borders and we can highlight brilliant works from the East such as Journey to the West, an ancient Chinese history.

From the swordsman to the evil sorcerer and many more; just wait until you see the creative side of @siucatti as it comes out in these awesome sketches! CHECK them all out!

No Is More Than Just a No

There comes a moment when you say "No," and you finally mean it; you forced yourself to acknowledge its invisible strings...
Whether trivial or tormenting, each of these moments is an exercise in that poorly understood power, namely, the
power of No.
No is both the tool and the barrier by which we establish and maintain the distinct perimeter of the self

We've all heard the saying... No means no, right? In this post @swedishdragon shares some mental thinking into this phrase and how to acknowledge it if you are involved in a scenario.

Bigger better monthly subs!

We know not everyone can delegate or upvote for larger upvotes. Thus sending in steem allowed for a larger upvote for the month.

It used to be only two levels.

SUB1 = 0.8 Steem for an upvote from 750 SP
SUB2 = 1.6 Steem for an upvote from 1500 SP

We decided to add three more levels to this, with level 5 adding a little bonus in there!

SUB3 = 2.4 Steem for an upvote from 2250 SP
SUB4 = 3.2 Steem for an upvote from 3000 SP
SUB5 = 4 Steem for an upvote from 4000 SP (250SP Bonus!)

So how does that work?

Let's say you send 3.2 Steem with the memo sub MARCH then you will get an upvote from @qurator similar to a 3000 SP account.

Qurator ICO is live!!

Head over to this post to get all the details and get in on all the action!

Introducing Referral Bonuses!

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.

Write a post about Qurator.

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.

Invite a friend.

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:

	Option 1 - Referrals	Option2 - Sponsorship
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 post.

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

Steemauto Curation Trail

	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. Steemauto guide and registration info

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
