OCD's support is expanding!
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Hello everyone! This is the 2017th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its <b><a href="https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocdb/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-154">Community Incubation Program</a></b>. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
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. 
</div>

<h4>How this Works</h4>

<div class="text-justify">
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.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
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.
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote>Greetings Hive Gardeners, today I am very happy to see that my newly planted alugbati vegetables are already stabled but not really stabled and it really needs to take care away from animals like dogs, cats and even cows and goats. I am very surprised about it and for almost a week of waiting, finally the leafy vegetables has already grows and stabled. Even if our place here in Barangay Punta Silum contains lots of rocks, still I keep finding the best way to do Gardening. I gathered lots of soil and removing those rocks and piled it on each side of my Garden as landscapes designs. Cultivating pork is very useful in terms of removing dry grass and stones. It can easily separated those materials and the soil can't easily eroded.

<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote>I’m presenting an acoustic version of Just the Two of Us by Bill Withers and Grover Washington Jr. This song has a timeless groove and a message that still resonates—about love, companionship, and building something meaningful together. I wanted to bring it back to its roots and let the warmth of the lyrics shine through.

<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote>In recent years, the rise of private entrepreneurship in Cuba has sparked debate about their real prospects for sustainability. Many of them end up succumbing not due to a lack of creativity or effort, but due to a hostile economic environment and poorly calculated decisions.

My experience as a partner of Papaya & Banana, a brand dedicated to natural cosmetics, is a clear example of how factors such as the high cost of production, inflation, and state policies can determine the failure of a business, even when it offers innovative, high-quality products.

<blockquote>First of all, today I got up with the intention of going to play, so as always we play from 4 o'clock, I took a bath about an hour before to be ready, and I was going to leave at 4 o'clock, but I started talking to my family for a while and I missed the time. And I had to leave at 4:30, in a hurry, so on the way I went at top speed without running, in order to arrive before the first game started, but when I arrived I saw that they had already formed the teams, so I had to wait for the other game. After sitting down, I took the opportunity to take the pictures, so I wouldn't do that later. After that, I put my phone away and started to play, since the game was already over.

<blockquote>but when ripe the red accessory fruit, often called a cashew apple is full of juice. it is small and green while the drupe develops then within days swells up and turns red or yellow. if not picked within a day it drops from the tree and quickly deteriorates. the juice is exceptionally astringent and both somewhat sweet and sour, vaguely reminiscent of grapefruit juice but much less sour. it can be very tasty but the fruits should be picked in the morning before the sun is warm because in the heat they develop a toxin that can irritate your throat

<blockquote>Today, I’m delighted to share the joy I feel when preparing a traditional Sri Lankan sweet snack that has been loved for generations. These soft-on-the-inside and lightly crisp-on-the-outside rice flour balls bring back cherished childhood memories and the warm spirit of festive gatherings. Though simple to make, this little treat is rich in comforting flavor. Whether sweetened with jaggery or sugar and enhanced with coconut milk and fennel seeds, these humble rice flour balls are a wonderful example of how modest ingredients can create something truly heartwarming. Let’s take a look at how to prepare this nostalgic snack step by step!
