Welcome to the 144th 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 $0.19 - $1.70!

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

Your Quality Curator ~( @goldendawne )~ Presents:

White Gold For A White Wedding: Well, Maybe Not 100% Pure But Close!

Years ago I proposed to my wife-to-be with a ring made of White Gold. It was before I became a stacker and I actually had no idea what White Gold was back then, except that it was….uhm….white, and kind of expensive

Do you know how MANY different kinds of gold there are? Want to learn more about it? Then stop over and read @buggedout's post.

I’ve been into Precious Metals for years now so it kind of hit me pretty hard that I was so ignorant about something important that I had forked out a decent sum for.

I'm Quitting My Job, What's Next? Tips For Planning Your Online Business

Some years ago I quit my job and walked out a free man. When I say free I mean freedom from stress, and the unshackling of chains that bound me to an office desk, to a suffocating organizational environment and a pseudo-corporate culture where the boss was always right

Have you been considering leaving your 9-5 job? Maybe starting a business from home? Making steemit your career? If you are, then you need to read @maxabit's post about what happened when he decided to take the leap and quit his job. He's offering some solid advice.

Foodie On The Move- New Black Coffee Lab

After my friends and I had our dinner at Madam Yau Kantin, we decided to continue the chit-chat session over coffee. There are few cafes nearby, but not really sure which one should we choose. So, again I called my friend and he recommended New Black Coffee Lab, just 100 meters away. Let's go! Located on the first floor, barely notice its existence

Head over to this post and see some great coffee and tea selections as well as some decadent dessert choices. @kokuryo has found a secret coffee lab that is offering up some heavenly delicacies for every taste bud!

Cracking Joints Can Cause Injury?

What are these sounds and why do they occur?
To begin with, I want to say that this joint noise means nothing, neither for good nor for bad. But we must clarify that if it is accompanied by pain or inflammation it could be a pathology that should be treated in depth

Do you crack your knuckles? Have you always heard people say not to do that and it could cause arthritis? Want to learn the truth? Then head over to @raiser's post and learn what REALLY happens and what joint wear can and can't do.

Steemauto Curation Trail

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%, try around 2-3% and see how it goes, do not want to drain your voting power too much. Qurator upvotes a lot and might take a lot of your bandwidth as well so if you do not have a lot of SP maybe don't join the trail just yet. =)

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
