Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser talked with Proactive about the latest drill results from the Mbe Gold Project in Cameroon, which he described as the company's best since his appointment. The ongoing maiden drilling program has returned 125 gold intersections from just eight holes, translating to an intersection every 21 metres drilled. Rosser emphasised the scale and quality of the results, highlighting that “Mbe eight came back with over 85 metres, I think 86.5 to be precise,” including a particularly strong section of 39.4 metres at two grams per tonne. He added that these intersections start close to surface, supporting the potential for open-pit mining. To date, over 60% of the drilling program has been completed, but only one-third of the results have been reported, suggesting more updates to come. Rosser confirmed that 16 more holes remain to be reported, with the JORC exploration target expected in Q3, followed by a maiden mineral resource estimate in Q4. In addition to ongoing analysis at Mbe South, Rosser mentioned plans to launch the first drilling program at Mbe North, indicating further upside potential.

Ever wonder what happens when two complex mental health conditions collide? In this episode, host Gabe Howard, who lives with bipolar disorder, and board certified psychiatrist Dr. Nicole Washington, peel back the layers of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and bipolar disorder, challenging the clichés and misconceptions that have long overshadowed these conditions. Using humor, candor, and expert insight, they share personal anecdotes and surprising research that illuminate the hidden battles behind intrusive thoughts, relentless rituals, and shifting moods. This conversation dives deep into how misinterpreting symptoms can lead to confusion and missed diagnoses — making it a must listen for anyone seeking clarity on the comorbidity of these two conditions.   Whether you're navigating these challenges yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode invites you to rethink what you know about OCD and bipolar disorder. “It's very difficult to have an episode about OCD and bipolar disorder because they're two unique illnesses that present in very unique ways. And I'm not sure what it looks like when they blend together. You may or may not have it. The things that you're describing as OCD may very well just be personality traits or just part of bipolar disorder. So I want to ask you very specifically, is there anything unique about OCD and bipolar disorder put together that our audience needs to know that our listeners should be aware of or concerned about?”~Gabe Howard, Host Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. To learn more about Gabe, or book him for your next event, please visit his website, gabehoward.com. You can also follow him on Instagram and TikTok at @askabipolar. Our host, Dr. Nicole Washington, is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she attended Southern University and A&M College. After receiving her BS degree, she moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to enroll in the Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. She completed a residency in psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma in Tulsa. Since completing her residency training, Washington has spent most of her career caring for and being an advocate for those who are not typically consumers of mental health services, namely underserved communities, those with severe mental health conditions, and high performing professionals. Through her private practice, podcast, speaking, and writing, she seeks to provide education to decrease the stigma associated with psychiatric conditions. Find out more at DrNicolePsych.com.

Well, life has often been described as a journey, hasn't it? Whether long or short, we just do not know. Along the pathway there are many intersections that we cross – intersections that affect our lives in definite ways. In today's broadcast, speaker Marvin Derksen brings us the gospel message with a focus on DIVINE intersections in our lives. How marvellous that God should ever choose to intersect our earth, our history, our own personal lives! But He has! By the giving of His Son, God has provided a way for me and you to be brought back into a personal relationship with Him. Let's listen as Mr. Derksen explains each of these vital intersections for us and through them presents to us the good news of the gospel.

Reproductive justice is the human right to control our bodies, our sexuality, our gender, our work, and our reproduction.  This right can only be achieved when everyone, especially those most marginalized, have the complete economic, social, and political power and resources to make healthy decisions about their bodies, families and communities. Bridgette Jackson, Director of Public Policy at In Our Own Voice: National Black Women's Reproductive Justice Agenda, Kat Olivera, Director of Government Relations at the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice (NLIRJ), and Fajer Saeed Ebrahim, Senior Policy Manager at the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (NAPAWF), sit down to talk with us about the reproductive justice policy agenda. NAPAWF, NLIRJ, and In Our Own Voice lead the Intersections of Our Lives Collaborative, which developed the comprehensive policy framework for achieving reproductive justice. The agenda is structured around three key pillars: healthy body, healthy families and communities, and healthy democracy. The policies included are focused on accessible sex education, abortion and contraception equity, gender-affirming care, and resistance to the criminalization of bodies. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Software architecture necessarily intersects with a diverse range of critical things, including implementation, infrastructure, data and engineering practices. All these elements require serious consideration and reflection if you're to architect effectively.  To discuss these various intersections, Thoughtworks' Neal Ford and his long-time collaborator Mark Richards join host Prem Chandrasekaran on the Thoughtworks Technology Podcast. They dive into why these intersections matter, what they mean for software architects and how individuals and teams can go about addressing them.

As 2024 comes to a close, I've been doing a lot of reflecting, and I wanted to share some of those reflections with you. For me this year was about filtering—filtering through the noise, the expectations, and even my own doubts to figure out what truly mattered.It was also a year where I felt a deeper calling to expand the conversation on confidence, to talk more about the intersections that shape our lives, and to start building community in a way that feels intentional and supportive.So today, I'm sharing lessons from this year, celebrating wins, and casting a vision for 2025 that I hope inspires you to do the same. Let's get into it. ****************************************************** Resources Mentioned & Show Notes I created the Inner Strength Journal to help you recognize that sneaky voice of fear, pretending and performing so you can choose authenticity and courage instead.
