OCD's support is expanding!
</div>
<br>
<div class="text-justify">
Hello everyone! This is the 1978th 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:

<blockquote>But that’s what happens when you start paying attention. The fresh flowers at the monument are a nice touch, the locals don’t forget. Plus, the schools around here have taken it up a notch. They’ve preserved the trenches, and guess what? They made straw puppets with helmets! No joke. And not just any helmets—soldier helmets. It’s the kind of quirky, hands-on project that makes history feel a little more... real, you know? Those straw soldiers show us just how hard it was to spot a fellow soldier in the heat of battle. Talk about a camouflage lesson!

<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote>We really enjoy a new parkrun location. This was Birtinya's 3rd event, we try not to go for launch events any more as they can be very crowded with lots of other parkrun tourists trying to collect there stats and set courses records. In our part of the world parkrun has got so popular they try to keep new events low key and  quite on social media as not to over whelm the volunteers and locals on there first go. So after the dust settles and all the fanfare of a launch, we try to squeeze it a visit. We bumped into an old workmate of mine who is also parkrun tourist. He was also collecting  a new event and well as a number 3 for this Wilson index. It was a hot and humid summers day in Queensland but it was a very flat course around a man made island, all on concrete path.

<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote>These 15 years had us very nervous because they are the last of a generation since there are many years to go before the rest of the girls reach this stage.

For me at least it took me without proper clothes since I haven't bought heels or dresses for a long time because of my routine in my life, it's too sporty and I have left this style a little bit aside.

The party was at OxySalon, an event hall of an animation company in my city. We arrived with my cousin Nancy who gave us the tail in her car to me, my boyfriend and my mom.

<div class="text-justify">
<blockquote>At the heart of this performance is Luminous Drift, a slow, peaceful instrumental played in Open C tuning and the key of A major. This piece flows gently, creating a sense of weightlessness and clarity—like drifting on a quiet river under a moonlit sky. The rich resonance of Open C tuning allows the notes to bloom and linger, offering a calming effect that encourages deep relaxation.

<blockquote>Today I want to share with you a refreshing melon milkshake with strawberries. It is a fresh drink that combines ripe melon, juicy and full of flavor, with the perfect blend of strawberries, providing an acid touch and balancing this drink with the sweetness of the melon. The creamy texture was simply delicious, and its presentation a pink color that invites you to try this milkshake, ideal for those days that the heat 🥵 can't be endured as is the case today, I definitely recommend it for its fresh taste, I enjoyed it with my family to start the day that is quite hot. One of the best things about this drink is how easy it is to prepare and the freshness it offers. I hope you like it as much as we do.

The last of these attempts was in the late 1990s, and in the face of popular resistance and opposition from some local institutions, studies were conducted that confirmed the tree to be over two hundred years old.
