# <center>OCD DAILY - Issue #347</center>

<h2><center>**Welcome to the 347th issue of @OCD Daily!**</center></h2>

Issue #347 highlights content from ` ten (10) ` Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators found ` ten (10) ` new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

<center><b>The @OCD nomination process</b></center>

*A curator will **FIND** a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.*

We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

<center>If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!</center>

All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @dirkzett</center>
<center>@dirkzett is an observant traveler. This can be seen from this particular travel story where he notices mundane things but actually interesting. For instance, a bottle of beer is cheaper than a healthy meal. Also, the poorer the area the more powerful the music are. There's more than that, so discover interesting and unique things the author finds during his stay in one of village located in Cebu Philippines. </center>

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @qwerrie</center>
<center>Lots of Russians with tattoos (and without) at the same place, in this case Korkino lake. What could possible go wrong?

####  <center>Our next nomination of the day is from @svdsdragunov</center>
<center>“Prince" is a very cool character which @svdsdragunov is working on it now. His artwork is so delicate and creative. He draws so many details, such as the skull of the crown. I like the different patterns on his eyes which makes him more characteristic. </center>

####  <center>Our final nomination of the day is from @vcclothing</center>
<center>@vcclothing posted about their visit to the Samurai museum in Tokyo. It is so informative that you feel like you've taken a flash lesson in Samurai history after you finished reading it. The post is very well written with lots of interesting information on the history of samurai, as well as some rather gruesome details on what happens when the sumarais are losing battle. Spoiler alert - not for the faint hearted! They finish their tour around the museum with a live samurai fight. That's not them fighting by the way, but they do get to try on some samurai costumes.</center>
