1. My trip to the lovely city of Lisbon (Portugal)**
Author: @funkie68

Take a tour of Lisbon with @funkie68 from the trams, Castelo de São Jorge, food and nightlife, and so much more miraculously squeezed into a single post. It is peppered with lots of images. You will almost feel as though you are right there - in Lisbon!

The post also has a contest in which you have to guess the name of the monument shown in it. At the time of creating this Edition, the contest was still open.

2. Make Delicious Brownies - Chocolate Treat for Your Guests
Author: @truesteem

The author, @truesteem, likes her friend's chocoloate treat so much that she decides to make it on her own. It's a lifesaver as she says for satisfying the food cravings of her kids all between the ages of 14 and 21.

What can I say - they are so lucky to have a mom who makes them delicious brownies every day!

3. Girls Best Friend
Author: @molovelly

!

A poignant story of how @molovelly found solace and affection - in a kennel! She had a tough time at home and was not treated too well. But the pets were always there to make up for it. As with so many of us, dogs were her best friends.

4. Why religions and ideologies suck and why a truly logical and freedom-minded spirituality needs to be the core of our humanity instead
Author: @newsandviews

A post about religion and ideology. @newsandviews shows how they are the same thing and is used to save people from applying logic. In today's you need a chcklist of things that would help you identify dangerous aspects in religions and ideologies.

The essence is that you are better off embracing your inherent spirituality than being hijacked by others for fundamentalism and extremism.
