OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 372nd 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 caught Tiger as he was settling down for a little cat nap and I love how the photos looked in black and white! So, my short #caturday post will be in black and white!

Basically, with the current option in Water Deck, you are only left with 2 Decent summoners like Bortus and New Summoner Kelya. These 2 summoners gave big changes in the last patch Water Deck with Alric as summoner (+1 Magic) is OP and focuses more on the Attack power and fast-paced gameplay to end the game. But with these 2 summoners right now, only focuses on more Melee Gameplay and more sustainable play. So what I will be renting and using for my quest is Magic oriented monster and this remains very strong despite being a little bit expensive, but I assure you this will bring higher win rates.

We live here for about 25 years now and never in my life we have such cost of consumption. I can´t believe it either that we have consumed almost 800 watts. We used 400 watts the previous month prior to this bill and there were no changes with our behaviour. We did the routine works at home with all the electric home appliances for our daily living... this jump of the watt consumption is way too high... It is even more expensive that our monthly bill in our homebase in Vienna.

Unlike the weather at the time of writing the last posts, today is only around 23°C (it was nearly 40 last time!) and it has been raining for nearly two days solid, with a few more days to come. With the climate disaster rolling out, it's hard to predict what a season will be like, if we still have seasons at all, that is!

This is a very cool place, a popular site for domestic tourism, for weekend trips. It's a shame to admit it, but I only visited it recently, in 2021. And I do enjoyed my visit despite a cold, rain and hunger, and wet cloth and showes. It was short walk, but I know i gonna come there again.

Tet holiday atmosphere is nearing us. The lunar calendar's traditional New Year's Day, which ushers in a new year, is only six days away. My biker friends gathered for a small get-together. Everyone should chat together to get to know the rest of the group. Because during Tet, we would visit each other's families' hometowns. This is also my final day in Danang before heading back to my hometown the next day.

Hello there, lovers of growing green things! Today I present to you my one of my favorite little trees again. I've been working on this as yet unknown species of acacia for many years now and was even over a foot tall at one point. I remember all the leaves falling off once due to lack of water (oops) after which I took the opportunity to hard prune the stick in half. According to my records, I pruned it in half again some time later. The photo above is the oldest one I have of this tree (from 3 years ago), and seems to have been taken shortly after the second hard pruning with the new growing branches also pruned.

I took everything I loved, everything I cared about. I took a hard look at why I was keeping sentimental and historical stuff from my life, and one thing I felt above all, was that I was holding onto proof of my life story.

At the time I believed I had to clear my mind and heart of such things as a life story, and that started with the evidence to support it. I had to become no one, to find my way into the void, for a long time this was my primary focus - which is, in my opinion at the time of writing at least, a missed-step. We live in this physical world for a reason, and I don't believe the reason is to spend the entire time trying to escape it...it's to face it and do the best you can basically. To experience life in its vast entirety.

The sound came out of the 1960's but most will be associated with the 70's and 80's. Funk is continually evolving and with the advent of sampling it will never disappear. You'd be surprised how many records are sampled for rare grooves in any type of music from this genre. Crate diggers looking for new beats have mined this area for decades now. Can you blame them? There is always something new and fresh that is still waiting to be discovered.

So it has surprised me then, to find myself actually quite ready for the year ahead, despite not doing a whole lot. I am rather fond of technology, and this does save me a lot of time once things are set up. I tend to use Microsoft OneNote - what this does, is it allows me to build lesson sequences and store them in the cloud. From there, I transition all my documents each year to give my students all the work we'll be doing. Through the term, I then constantly update resources, created new learning opportunities based on how the class is travelling or my own interest.

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.
