OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 112th 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:

So I was getting a bit frustrated about not being able to fulfill the project, but I also kind of relaxed about everything. This was an even greater reminder that happiness can be attained and enjoyed in any place, with or without material comfort. The walk uphill was a big pleasure and it costed me nothing, on the contrary, I walked back home with a bag full of material for building.

Do you like to sniff roses, guys?And to eat them?? Do you know they are not only nice but useful for our health?

Now I'll shoe you the recipe I've tried recently. An old woman who is very experienced in herbs and plants and their usage for health told me it, and I share it with you.
It will take you just 10-15 min but we'll get really a natural treasure!

A bit of color theory consists in drawing attention to that point of color that is different from the rest. If the colors in the illustration are warm, putting a main object in a cool color will draw the eye to that space. I wanted to practice a little on this, on what I read in an Internet article. so I chose an image to take as a reference, I would add several objects in warm colors and make a border with the cold colors

Those of you who are cool enough to have an iPhone will probably know about Apple Arcade already. For those who don't I can explain in short that it's a subscription service for games created by Apple. It costs about $5 and gives you access to 100+ games that are created by various developers and published by Apple.

Services like these are quite popular these days and it's no wonder Apple boarded the train as well. The games on there are relatively mediocre in my opinion though. I tried it for a free month a while back and while there were a couple of cool games I saw no reason to stay subscribed after the trial ended. I also don't like having to keep on paying $5 every month to have access to my games. If you end your subscription it means you can't play those games again until you subscribe again. It's not all that bad if you just want to stay subscribed for a month or two and power through a couple of games though.

What do you do on hot days to 38-40 degrees Celsius? My friends and I chose to spend time at a stream called Khe Duong, about 40km from the center of Da Nang city. Located in the forest of Hoa Bac mountains, this stream is really cool and clear. So it is a great place to escape from the heat of the crowded city. We spent a day there swimming, hiking and relaxing.

Hello everyone Today I want to tell you about plant near my house. This plant we can eat. It called name krouch simraek. This month it started fruit for three months. There are alot of krouchs that you see in the picture.

Hi all, today I would like to share a study completed based on the work of the master artist Vincent Van Gogh. I find his art very expressive with excellent use of colours so I thought I could learn a lot by replicating his work. Not only is his portrait very expressive, every colour and stroke he does is full of emotion.

I have already written in my blog about a wonderful place - Pidlyska hill not far from my village (Lviv region, Western Ukraine). This place is unique in that it combines forest and steppe ecosystems. I once met scientists here looking for rare species of plants. This time I also decided to be a "botanist" and take pictures of some rare flowers that I once met there. My hike took place in early June, and I used to be there with a friend somewhere in mid-May, but didn't have enough time to take pictures.

We visited Sherwood Forest in Nottingham to see the Major Oak. We parked up, and found the oak tree just a 15 minute walk from the visitor centre. Folk lore has it that the forest was home to the famous outlaw, Robin Hood and his Merry Men. They used the tree for shelter and hiding inside its trunk, especially from the Sherrif's men! Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor. Kind of cool.

We have always heard that we should live as if it were the last day of our life, but others tell us that it should be as if it were the first. What would it be like to live both ways?

Suppose our first day of life were spontaneous, (i.e.,) that it was not a process of birth and growth, but that we awoke to the world as we are. what would our reaction be? what attitude would we have to what we see?

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.
