Sharing the Love and the Spotlight: Purveyor of Fine Content (More Hidden Gems 12)
In my daily effort to continue to do my part to raise awareness of other content, I have a couple of new gems to feature. Please take the time to check them out and give them an upvote and some comments. I think every writer appreciates the upvote, but would love some dialogue as well.
Dawn at the railway station. Zhlobin. Belarus. Беларусь. Жлобин. Рассвет на ж/д станции.
I can remember, as a child, my father had this intense love of model trains. He would recruit me to sit there for hours on a weekend, wiring the tracks and switchboards, building model scenery of places I'd never been out of plaster and paint , and on and on. There is absolutely something nostalgic and romantic about trains and taking a train ride that's missing in America. The photos from @sharker capture the sunlight from dawn in Belarus which brings a modern twist to the nostalgia of rail travel (at least to me). Check out nature's art.
What is Intermittent Fasting? What are the benefits?
When I was younger, I delved into bodybuilding for a bit, then into mixed martial art later and I experimented a couple of times with fasting on an intermittent basis. I have had some great experiences with it. in this blog from @quickfingersluc, he delves a bit deeper into the subject and has some favorite books to heck out if you'd like to explore the topic deeper.

Homemade Nutella chocolate spread with actual hazelnuts and no added sugar
Nutella. I don't think any further explanation is necessary. I mean, seriously, if you've never had this ambrosia from the gods, you really need to crawl out from the cave you have been living in. In this blog, @amy-goodrich provides a recipe to make your own. After her awesome chia pudding recipe (with mangoes and passion fruit) was featured on my blog earlier, I am thinking of petitioning the pope for sainthood for this woman. Check out her recipe and give yourself a private moment.
Poloniex Announces Will Deslistar Multiple Currencies
Ever get the impression the crypto wars are really just one big Mortal Combat simulation? So, Poloniex has decided to take out the trash and delist a number of cryptos with the most interesting being the DAO. Reminds me so much of the myth of the Flight of Icarus. Check out @xanimes blog post, stay informed and make sure you are not about to loose a pile of cash on shitcoins.

New Simulation Language is Hundreds of Times Faster While Using Only One Tenth the Code
One of the best days of my time on Steemit was the day I decided to follow @futurism-news. Some of the ems coming from this blog are awesome, such as this one. Take a look at the new programming language developed by a team of researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Adobe, the University of California at Berkeley, the University of Toronto, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas. Amazing.
Between my own writing I will keep purveying fine content.
Please follow me on my blog @lpfaust if you enjoy my content.
@lpfaust Thank you for sharing the love.
Thanks @virtualgrowth. In many ways I enjoy sifting through and finding the gems. There are so many talented writers in the community who really need some exposure and I'm happy to give the small piece I can.
Cool stuff! Thanks again for continuing to find good hidden gems 😀
@timcliff, thanks for being a regular and taking the time to both check out the featured articles and upvoting my content. Honestly the support is what motivates me to spend the time sifting on a daily basis. Thanks.
Thank you for mentioning me. Such post ia a very good idea!
You're welcome @sharker. I started this series after a discussion with @sebastien about how difficult it was for people outside the US to receive any attention and upvotes. I decided to do something and become the change I wanted, rather than wait for someone else to make the change. Besides, I love featuring and bringing attention to authors, artists and creators who are overlooked. Great job with the photos.
