OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 130th 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:

I still remember some of the teachers I've had over my years in the classroom; some I remember with disdain, others with a lot of affection, others with only respect, but what is true is that I have learned something from everyone. And thank goodness, because life put the work of teaching in my way. Since I am a musician, an Oboe player, in some way I am accredited, in an informal way, of transmitting the basic knowledge of my instrument to children who are interested in learning that particular instrument.

This is the window view from my living hall. We have changed the window from shutter rack last year right before the lockdown sets in, since then we haven't been really paying attention to the view. I remember I was looking out one raining afternoon and decided I wanted to get rid of the shutters so I can enjoy the view. Sometimes, it's not life being too busy for us to enjoy what we already have, we're the one who overlooked it. We've set the goal, achieved it and still chasing for an unknown dream and forgot to enjoy what we have.

Every year since we built the greenhouse, in 2016, I've grown tomato plants inside the greenhouse. The greenhouse faces south, and has 16 feet of south exposure. I can fit 10 of the 15 gallon size planting pots in that space. I've tried growing a variety of different types of tomato plants in the greenhouse over the past 5 years, and the results have been pretty consistent. All of the plants will grow well, but the paste type tomato plants pollinate easier in the greenhouse than the beefsteak types do. That means I get a lot more tomatoes in the greenhouse from the paste type plants. The 2 types that seem to do the best for me are the heirloom Amish Paste type and the Roma type. This year, I'm also trying the Blue Beech paste tomato, it's my first time trying that variety.

While my friend Martin, an avid collector, had a look at a stall that sold DVDs and CDs, I checked out the other stalls nearby. It wasn’t long before I noticed an old woman who’d propped up a little camping table. On it, she’d placed about two dozen keys.

Have you ever thought about how other people could be more successful and luckier than you? Or have you ever thought about how other people easily do things? I'm not sure if I should answer this question. Sometimes a simple question will have a different answer for each person. And you can't judge someone just by the answers they give. People don't just accept Yes and No. Sometimes even simple questions, people will ask for answers as complex as possible.

Tassels, wonderful decorative accessories that can be made in any type of yarn, such as acrylic, cotton, wool, raffia, nylon, among others.

Tassels are commonly used to decorate purses, blouses, bags, bookmarks, in short, they can be used to decorate whatever we consider.

Today I share with you how to use tassels to make a pair of tendrils.

I see this beauty from a distance of about 4 km almost every day. I live in a village at the foot of a hill. If you go to the top or to the field, you can admire this ancient castle to your heart's content... Recently I made myself a gift and decided to go closer (of course I have been there many times, but I have no photos). This is a museum. Antiques are collected here, but I will not show it to you today:) Today we will walk outside and admire the scenery.

We entered Grassland National Park in mid-April, the perfect time of year in my opinion; the snow has melted, the flowers are starting to bloom, and the birds are starting to migrate in. Almost as soon as we entered the park we spotted a huge colony (or dog town) of Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus). We also spotted a herd of bison (Bison bison). This would be a great indication of the wildlife we would see during our five night stay here.

Holos & Lotus was constituted a few days ago with the purpose of facilitating a space for the Community to share topics related to the health of the physical body, the management of emotions, mental health and development of consciousness, as well as those more transcendental aspects that touch the Spirit.

In recent years in many cities the energy sector has seen major changes, from the incorporation of renewable energy, increased use of electric vehicles and the deployment of smart grids to name a few. And with the population growing faster and an ever-increasing volume of data, managing everything efficiently will be one of the sector's biggest challenges, and this seems to indicate that AI could be the best ally to effectively drive the energy sector on the path to sustainability.

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.
