Escaping Reality- Is There Something As Such?

I was attending a wedding... no, I was already at the reception...
The party was good, filled with great people. And oh, the food. Yes! The food!
As I was enjoying the party, chatting with friends and devouring the food it felt so good to relax even for just a while

Some days we all just a break. We need a moment to relax and enjoy. Even though @arrliinn was attending a wedding, a large social event, she was able to take a few moments to take advantage of visiting with people and leaving a hectic life out of her mind for the evening.

Reflections Of A Decentralized World- Pseudo-Dramatic Catharsis

I often think that blockchain technology actually has the ability to change the world as we know it . The problem lies in the desire for power of some and the false conception of many. Since I went into cryptocurrencies I could see an unprecedented future around all this that without a doubt can be used for a greater purpose

So much has been happening over the last few years within the cryptocurrency world and @theghost1980 gives a nice overview of some changes (some good and some not so good) and how crypto is changing the world of money and exchanges.

Color Challenge- Friday Sky Blue- Christmas Ornament

I've chosen to share a photo that I took this evening while admiring the current state of our Christmas tree. As you may be able to tell from the photo, we currently have an artificial white Christmas tree in our apartment because we aren't allowed real trees or wreaths due to fire regulations. We've certainly made the best of this artificial tree though; having a white tree certainly makes our ornaments and decorations pop out more to the eye

So magic seems to happen during the Christmas holidays; whether the unexpected gift giving, the beautiful ornaments hanging from the tree or even the way some people are just happier. @shawkr13 shares an ornament on their tree that just shimmers the holiday season.

What Time Is It?

When the clocks were tied in people's wrists, then it was a popular question of starting a conversation with strangers, what time is it?
But over time, the circulation of clocks in the kalves was over and the smartphones came in all the pockets today. But have you ever thought that you never have a watch, you have ever wandered in nature or in the jungle and you have to know the time, what will you do?

Can you tell time without a watch or clock? Do you know when an hour has passed? @xyzashu shares how his relatives tell time with their hands, shadows and the sun. See how it's done in this post.

I Had A Bad Day With Amazon US

This is a sad day to find out my first and only Amazon account has been closed down due to some silly reasons.
Occasionally, I did some purchase in Amazon US and ship them over to Singapore. I hooked some really good deals as the same items would cost a lot more on the local market and with the top-notch customer support, I always regard the Amazon one of the must-know hacks for online shoppers

Oh NO! This is not a good time of the year to not have access to the deals happening on Amazon! See what happened to @fr3eze when a silly mistake suspended his account!

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
