OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 8th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Here is the "75th baker street cafe". What can you expect? A rip-off from an exceptional story in the middle of the city, which is saturated with plenty of coffee shops. The quality of the beans would only come into question if, firstly, any of the chairs don't wobble.

There are at least 22 varieties of wintercress. There are wintercresses that grow tall, wintercresses that stay small, wintercresses that taste great, wintercresses that are so bitter you have to boil them twice, wintercresses that are perfectly fine to eat, and wintercresses that can be toxic to kidneys if eaten raw and to excess.

While it is necessary to eat, it is also necessary to eat intelligently, be creative with some of the food items. It would rather be surprising to know that people that love to eat are way healthier and always looking good.

This time I made a drawing using the grayscale painting technique, that is to say to paint with black and white grays and then to superimpose a color, you can do it in different ways but I chose this one to vary a little bit the birds.

I love my whiskey. I'm generally a George Dickel guy, however, I do like to sample different whiskeys from time to time. Some of my fellow whiskey drinkers on Twitter kept telling me I had to try Basil Hayden's. Every time I posted an image of whiskey, someone would comment about Basil Hayden's.

Maple sap relies on a combination of weather conditions throughout the year. A summer of adequate rain and moderate temperatures followed by a winter that produces a generous amount of snow that blankets the roots of the tree for protection are the ideal conditions. This year we can check all of those boxes and expect to collect lots of sap.

This is a very beautiful song from The 5th Station, a band that I listen to since I was little thanks to my mother. She is a huge fan of all their songs, so she was never missing one when cleaning, or working. Today I wanted to please her with The Silly Phrase of the Week. She liked it, and I hope you do too.

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share the process on how I created a colourful painting of ice-cream. It has been a very long time since I have had ice-cream. So, I looked for some ice-cream pictures on Pinterest and found one that I liked and painted it.

This time I came up with a wolf painting. You can see the steps of this painting in the video. In this painting, first the initial design is executed with a light pencil and then the main lines are painted with a bold pencil. And then start shading according to the movie.

Then we start to burn. Outside the houses, there is an artifact called "quematuti". This is a metal cylinder that contains water and underneath, a kind of Salamander where we will burn the firewood and this will heat the water that will continue to be loaded as we use the hot water.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
