OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 2111th 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:

Friends, I prepared yesterday's lunch based on a vegetable that has become a staple in my kitchen. Eggplant, due to its tremendous diuretic powers, is what I've turned into my daily juice. It's native to India and China. It's high in fiber and low in calories, contains iron, vitamins B1, B6, and plenty of potassium. It's not eaten raw; it must be cooked. In short, we have the jewel in the crown. Just go to the grocery store and buy a few to stock up on vitamins and nutrients at home every time we eat.

A warm hug to this beautiful #Music community. I have the pleasure of sharing my trumpet performance of “Vivo Sonhando”, ⁣ a song that mixes genres such as jazz and Bossa Nova, composed by Antônio Carlos Jobim and in the English version is called “Dreamer” with lyrics by Gene Lees. The lyrics talk about the fantasy of searching for real and true love. I have had the opportunity to listen to versions by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Astrud Gilberto, and Sting. The melody is very beautiful, sophisticated, and stands out for being soft, lyrical, and introspective. The harmony is rich with extended chords in a G major key in relation to the piano. In my case, I play it in A Major. The rhythm is syncopated and is within a 4/4 time signature. The interesting thing about rhythm is that at times it tends to have setbacks that give the sensation of being delayed, and in some cases, ahead of the rhythmic base.

Hello my friends at Vibes; for this 40th week in the free-theme Web 3 music competition, I'll be presenting a song I recently composed called "tumbao," dedicated to Israel Cachao López, popularly known as "Cachao."

I don't think it's new to say that most people are living complicated moments that lead us to an overload of emotions, that's why once a week I try to visit the ¨reserve¨: looking for emotional stability, and I don't think there's a better place to get it than this ¨prairie¨: ; I love being here and taking the ¨sapsons¨: in my hands and blowing them in the ¨wind¨, I love seeing how they slowly move away ¨transporting¨ my ¨mind¨ to a time of my ¨youth¨

Some songs, no matter how many times we hear them in different versions, never lose their magic. One of them is Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You, a piece that has always given me a sense of calm and something truly special. This time, I wanted to bring it into my own world and express it only through my electric guitar, letting every note speak on its own without the need for words or lyrics.

It happen that the entrepreneur turns into a predatory and almost loses the soul based on achieving his purpose.The financial bug got introduced into the brain and it goes colonizing to the heart, making it an ideal human species what, even in the gestures of good actions, there is almost always a camouflaged interest to obtain benefits.When this happens, you are close to becoming an economic predator, a cold and calculator subject, unable to feel empathy for others. Is this new?

I've been one to have an addiction to video games. Not as bad as others where it consumes my every waking moment, but I've spent a lot more time on them then I would like to say. Thankfully though, as I've gotten older, I've realized that it's really not worth it and I've tried to stop playing them as much as I can, with an occasional dabble here and there.

Lunch is what I mostly miss during the week because of work, so I always made sure to eat breakfast which is the most important meal of the day. Although sometimes the breakfast might just be a light one. A cup of tea with crackers or some cereal 🥣 with plenty of milk. Its definitely sustainable before sone snacks to push into early dinner 🥘.

After singing happy birthday, many people left, and we stayed, laughing at Emmanuel's antics. We continued talking and reminiscing about past family anecdotes. It feels so good to spend quality time with our loved ones. Every celebration we have as a family reveals the unity, cooperation, solidarity, and, above all, the love for our loved ones. These small moments, even though the celebration was simple, left countless memories that will last forever. Thank you, my nephew Emmanuel, for giving me a day full of many blessings. I love you so much. My friends, I just want to tell you that the moment is here and now to enjoy our family and friends. Don't wait for the right or perfect moment; what really matters is living a day full of opportunities with them. I say goodbye to you all. Thank you for reading, and I'll be happy to read your comments. 🤗 🥰

I was busy all day today, but as I was sitting, I remembered that I used to write a diary, which I recently found again among my lost treasures. Indeed, it is a treasure for me because it holds so many memories of bygone days. In fact, I started writing a diary when I was in fifth grade.

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.
