The advancement of pharmaceutical manufacturing depends heavily on the research taking place in areas such as continuous manufacturing, automation, machine learning, and AI. The maturation of these technologies will foster improved process optimization, accelerate the development of medicines, and make manufacturing more efficient and reliable. This is the second part of our conversation with Thomas Roper, PhD, co-director of pharmaceutical engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University's Center for Pharmaceutical Engineering and Sciences and graduate program director for chemical and life science engineering. Roper discusses how graduate students in his research group have helped advance technologies ranging from computational fluid dynamics and process analytical technology to machine learning applications for process optimization. He also shares why he views AI as a powerful tool, not a replacement for people, and how it's preparing the next generation of scientists and engineers.

In this episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan Kramer welcomes back Amy Roper from Eyes on the Right for an in-depth discussion about the biblical significance of the sea, the "deep," and what Scripture reveals about the spiritual realm often referred to as the Marine Kingdom. Beginning in Genesis, Amy traces the theme of the waters throughout the Bible, exploring passages about the abyss (tehom), Sheol, Leviathan, Dagon, and Johah. Together, they examine how ancient cultures consistently worshiped water deities, how these themes appear throughout history and mythology, and why understanding the biblical worldview helps Christians discern spiritual deception without falling into fear. The conversation emphasizes that many biblical stories—including Jonah, Jesus calming the sea, and the miracles surrounding water—demonstrate Christ's complete authority over all creation and every spiritual power. The discussion also explores how marine symbolism appears in modern culture through entertainment, mythology, corporate imagery, financial language, and current conversations surrounding unexplained underwater phenomena.  Reagan and Amy encourage listeners to search the Scriptures for themselves, test everything through the Holy Spirit, and develop biblical discernment.  The key takeaway is that believers are engaged in a spiritual battle, but they do not need to fear the unknown because Jesus Christ reigns over every realm—land, sea, and sky. His authority is absolute, His victory is complete, and Christians can confidently walk in wisdom, discernment, and the power He has given them.

If you've ever wondered whether your story really matters — or questioned how your past, your personality, and your experiences fit into God's calling for your life — this episode is for you. I'm sharing the behind‑the‑scenes story of how I stepped into women's ministry, the unexpected ways God used my past to shape my purpose, and why I believe so deeply in helping women discover their own calling. Many Christian women love God, love their families, and genuinely want to be obedient… but still feel unsure, unqualified, or unclear about what God is asking them to do next. If that's you, you're not alone — and your story is far more important than you think. In this episode, I'm also inviting you to the Flourish Retreat, a four‑day, set‑apart space designed to help you uncover your gifts, understand your wiring, connect your past to your purpose, and step confidently into the calling God has for you. If you've been craving clarity, direction, or community, Flourish may be the turning point you've been praying for. Your story matters. Your calling matters. And God is already weaving it together. Let's talk about how. Find our more about The Flourish Retreat Contact Carol with any questions Listen to my episode with Julie Bagwell Unsure What's Next?

The framework of modern pharmaceutical manufacturing is evolving as new technologies, advanced therapeutic modalities, and more sophisticated process control reshape how medicines are developed. While biologics, peptides, and other emerging therapies continue to expand the industry's capabilities, advances in engineering, automation, and continuous manufacturing are also transforming small molecule manufacturing. These shifts are redefining the skills, technologies, and manufacturing strategies needed to deliver high-quality medicines more efficiently and reliably. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Thomas Roper, PhD, co-director of pharmaceutical engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University's Center for Pharmaceutical Engineering and Sciences and graduate program director for chemical and life science engineering, about how pharma manufacturing has evolved over the course of his career and where it's headed. Roper draws on decades of experience to discuss the significance of chemical engineering in small molecule manufacturing, the growing significance of quality by control, the promise and challenges of continuous manufacturing, and how emerging catalytic technologies and automation are advancing process development. He also shares why preparing the next generation of pharmaceutical scientists and engineers will be critical as traditional boundaries between small molecules, biologics, and emerging modalities continue to disappear.

Every tabletop group eventually reaches a point where someone says, We should absolutely not do that. In this episode, that point arrives roughly every thirty seconds. Faced with a secret ghost-harvesting operation, a trapped demon, corrupt Bluecoats, and enough evidence to bring down an entire criminal enterprise, our heroes make a series of carefully considered decisions such as stealing haunted jars, feeding a paralyzed rival to a demon, and debating whether releasing an eldritch horror is a reasonable business strategy. Somehow, these are not even the worst ideas discussed. Show Notes The second part of our Blades in the Dark actual play drops us back into the depths beneath a seemingly ordinary apothecary, where Roper and Talon discover that the illegal leviathan blood refinery is hiding something far worse than drug manufacturing. What begins as a simple investigation quickly spirals into ghost prisons, demonic experiments, and the sort of moral decision-making that only a cult dedicated to a vampire bat god could justify. After encountering a mysterious hospital-like corridor filled with dying victims, the crew discovers that the entire area has been sealed off from the ghost field using occult runes. The situation becomes even stranger when a dead body fails to trigger the usual supernatural alarms, leading Roper to investigate through the ghost field and uncover evidence of a much larger operation at work. Following clues deeper into the complex reveals the refinery's true purpose. Rather than merely refining leviathan blood, the operation is harvesting spirits from dying people and draining them to produce electroplasm. Rows of trapped ghosts, spirit jars, and meticulous records provide the evidence the crew needs, but things become personal when Roper discovers that an old rival named Flint is directly involved in the scheme. The score reaches peak Blades in the Dark chaos when the crew encounters a captive demon being drained for its blood. Faced with an immobilized enemy, a suffering demon, and absolutely no adult supervision, Talon and Roper decide that feeding Flint to the demon is the most efficient solution available. The plan works far better than anyone expected, which immediately makes it everyone's problem. Armed with demon blood, stolen spirit jars, incriminating documents, and several future psychological scars, the cult narrowly escapes while the facility collapses into supernatural disaster behind them. The result is a perfect demonstration of how Blades in the Dark rewards bold decisions, terrible ideas, and players who are willing to embrace the consequences of both. Key Takeaways The score showcases how investigation, stealth, and horror can blend seamlessly in Blades in the Dark. Attuning to the ghost field reveals hidden truths while often creating entirely new problems. The refinery's true purpose is harvesting spirits from dying people and converting them into electroplasm. Spirit jars, hospital records, and captured ghosts provide concrete evidence of the criminal operation. Teamwork mechanics allow players to combine actions and improve their chances of success during critical moments. Talon's alchemical abilities repeatedly save the operation, from paralysis poisons to perfectly timed smoke bombs. Roper's professional hatred of Flint becomes a surprisingly effective motivator. The crew discovers a demon being harvested for its blood, adding another layer to the facility's horrors. Sometimes the easiest way to deal with a rival is letting a demon handle the problem for you. Whether that is a good idea remains debatable. The episode highlights one of Blades in the Dark's greatest strengths: success often comes from turning disasters into opportunities rather than avoiding disasters entirely.

Oh SNAP! This week, we're joined by Five Iron Frenzy vocalist Reese Roper to explore the life and times of Biz Markie, otherwise known as the Clown Prince of Hip Hop. The unforgettable chorus of “Just a Friend,” which was an interpolation of a 1968 Freddie Scott song, became instantly iconic, and Biz's less-than-perfect performance gave the song endless charm and personality. Whether Biz was inevitably bound for one hit wonderdom is up for debate, but a landmark court case against a sample on his next album may have been what cemented it. Regardless, he had a long and interesting career, all the way up to his untimely passing in 2021. Is there more in Biz Markie's catalog worth diving into if you only know the hit? This week, we'll see if he really IS a hundred proof. One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.

Blades in the Dark is a game about daring criminals pulling off impossible heists. Our crew immediately used fire to escape the box we voluntarily hid in, assaulted two undercover cops, locked them inside our escape crate, stole accounting records, accidentally got high during evidence collection, and somehow convinced ourselves this was still a stealth mission. Honestly, I think the cult is thriving. Show Notes Part 3 finally dropped us into our first real score and the sewer cult wasted absolutely no time proving they were both competent and deeply concerning. Tasked with infiltrating an illegal leviathan blood refinery hidden beneath an apothecary, we chose the most sensible plan imaginable: smuggle ourselves inside in a supply crate. Naturally this immediately turned into an emergency fire escape situation because Talon solved confinement with alchemy and arson. Once inside, things somehow became more chaotic. We discovered the "guards" were actually Bluecoats running security for the operation, meaning our weird little cult had accidentally punched local law enforcement in the face before the score even properly started. Rather than murder them and summon ghost problems, we tied them up, stuffed them back into the crate, and continued the mission like this was all part of the plan. It absolutely was not. The score also gave us a chance to see Blades in the Dark really shine mechanically. Flashbacks let us retroactively prepare, clocks tracked rising danger, and the system constantly pushed us forward instead of letting us stall in planning mode. Every success created new problems and every problem somehow made the story better. Meanwhile Talon uncovered suspicious ledgers pointing to illicit operations while Roper discovered the drugs in the least scientific way possible by accidentally inhaling them and immediately becoming evidence. It was a perfect demonstration of why this game works so well. The mechanics encourage momentum, but the players create the disasters. By the end we had stolen evidence, infiltrated the operation, mildly traumatized two cops, and learned an important lesson. Never let the ghost guy do quality control on contraband. Key Takeaways The crew's first score involved infiltrating an illegal leviathan blood refinery hidden beneath an apothecary Smuggling themselves inside in supply crates immediately escalated into improvised arson Talon used alchemy and fire to escape confinement and start the mission The refinery operation appeared connected to illicit drug production The guards turned out to be Bluecoats acting as security for the site Killing enemies in Doskvol creates major problems because ghosts are very real Flashbacks allowed retroactive preparation without lengthy planning sessions Clocks helped track danger, progress, and rising alert levels Talon recovered ledgers that may contain coded evidence of illegal activity Roper accidentally sampled the contraband and became mildly intoxicated during evidence collection The score highlighted how Blades in the Dark rewards momentum over perfect planning The cult continues to be alarmingly effective despite having absolutely no business succeeding Welcome to the RPGBOT Podcast.

Rob Roper talks with Laura Derrendinger (Vermont Coalition Independence, Reconnection & Liberation) about removing digital screens from schools, and increasing human connection.Then, Rob and Corinna Dodson discuss combatting antisemitism in schools.This Episode of the Vermont Viewpoint aired on 05/26/2026

In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of how my writing journey began—during a season when the empty nest was approaching, purpose felt uncertain, and God whispered a new calling into my heart. Fourteen years ago, I took a trembling step of faith and attended my first writers conference alone. What followed was a rollercoaster of fear, embarrassment, and a moment so humiliating I nearly packed my bags and drove home. But God intervened through two women—Celeste and LaTan—who showed up at the exact moments I needed courage, belonging, and a reminder that I wasn't alone. That one decision not to quit changed the trajectory of my life. In this episode, I share: • how God used a friend's unexpected encouragement to confirm my calling  • the embarrassing moment that almost ended my writing journey  • the divine appointments that kept me from giving up  • the surprising ways God has opened doors over the years  • why stepping out of what's familiar is essential to stepping into your calling  • how obedience—even when you're scared—leads to blessing, purpose, and impact From winning writing awards to being published in Guideposts and Chicken Soup for the Soul, to flying alone to retreats and building a thriving podcast ministry, I reflect on all I would have missed if I had let fear win. This episode is for the woman who feels a dream stirring but isn't sure she's capable… the woman in a transition season wondering what's next… the woman who needs a reminder that God meets us in the places that stretch us. If God is nudging you toward something new, this story will remind you: Your calling won't grow where fear keeps you standing still. Say yes—and watch what God does.

The 2001 and 2002 trials in the yogurt shop murders case are a case study in how criminal prosecution can produce convictions without physical evidence. Robert Springsteen and Michael Scott were convicted of capital murder based solely on confessions that both men maintained were coerced. No DNA, fingerprints, or forensic evidence of any kind connected either man to the crime scene. The prosecution's strategy relied on graphic crime scene imagery to overwhelm jurors alongside the confessions.Critical constitutional violations compounded the problem. Each man's confession was used against the other without cross-examination rights, violating the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause. The confessions contradicted each other on key details. Seven jurors later stated publicly they would not have convicted with the DNA evidence that emerged afterward. Springsteen, who was 17 at the time of the crime, received a death sentence later commuted under Roper v. Simmons.

Have you ever looked back and realized comfort kept you from saying yes to something that mattered? In this episode, I'm sharing how a moment from Taylor Sheridan's new series The Madison stopped me in my tracks and reminded me what it really means to love well — especially in marriage. This isn't a review of the show, and I'm not endorsing all its content. But there's a powerful theme woven through the story that every Christian wife needs to hear. Spoiler alert: I'll be talking about the premise of the series, so listen with that in mind. If fear, comfort, or "maybe later" has ever held you back from stepping into something meaningful with your husband or family, this episode will encourage you to choose courage, connection, and love that lasts. In this episode: • Why comfort can quietly steal your yes • How regret grows when we avoid what stretches us • What The Madison reminded me about loving well • A personal story about saying yes when it mattered • How to choose courage in your marriage today If this encourages you, share it with a friend who needs the reminder too.

Send a textWe share how Whiskey Thief keeps its farm soul while growing in Louisville and nationwide through direct-to-consumer shipping. We taste a nine-year rye, dig into pot still craft, and map the rising whiskey hub shaping the city's scene.• why grow and stay the same is the goal• how the urban tasting room mirrors the farm vibe• what pot distilling demands from a skilled team• where collaboration beats constant instruction• how maturation, storage, and weather shape flavor• why DTC unlocks access in 46 states• what legal compliance and taxes mean for shipping• how small-batch blending preserves identity• where Louisville's whiskey neighborhood is booming• what we taste in the nine-year ryeListen, like, leave good feedback and subscribeWhiskeythief.comThe first thing you notice is the feel. Gravel under tires at the farm, guitars on the wall in Louisville, and that instant sense you've walked into a place that treats whiskey like a craft and a community. We sat down with owner-operator Walter Zausch, director of distilling Lisa Wicker, head of experiences Amy, and Philip from Kentucky Bourbon Direct to unpack how Whiskey Thief scales without losing its single barrel soul—and why fans across 46 states can finally get bottles shipped legally to their door.We start where their story lives: pot stills, sharp palates, and a team that can make precise cuts without babysitting. Lisa explains how collaboration speeds quality, from early peach brandy iterations to doubling yields while tightening flavor. Then we go deeper into maturation: the moment when the barrel becomes the hero around eight to ten years, how ricked versus palletized storage bends outcomes, and why Kentucky's wild winter swings can turn vanilla, mint, and dry cocoa into surprising notes in a nine-year rye. If you love rye whiskey, this tasting will light up your curiosity—minty lift, caramel undertow, and a clean finish at 121 proof.Access is the other revolution. Philip breaks down the direct-to-consumer engine that handles compliance, taxes, and shipping so craft producers can focus on making great juice. The result is real: Whiskey Thief ships to 46 states, fans no longer leave empty-handed, and brands gain data and margins that keep the lights on without surrendering independence. With Louisville's whiskey hub booming—Heaven's Door, Chicken Cock, WhistlePig, and more within walking distance—the city offers a concentrated tour of American whiskey culture while the farm preserves the barrel-thieving experience you can't get anywhere else.We close with the future: small, intentional blends that mirror the five-barrel magic of on-site tastings, a boutique approach that respects terroir, weather, and the patience great spirits demand. If you're here for craft, character, and smarter access to bottles you actually want, you'll feel at home with us.

What scars do you carry? Maybe you've had a c-section (or 3) and don't want to wear a bathing suit anymore (among other reasons). Maybe you've been injured in an accident and try to disguise the evidence. Or maybe you've suffered from cancer and now have an ugly scar as a reminder of your survival. Whatever the reason, it's natural for us to want to cover unsightly scars from public view. When I was in my mid-twenties and almost put my eye out from accidentally shoving my face into a large splinter, I didn't realize the permanent damage that could have been done until the ER sent for a plastic surgeon. He said I was too young to carry a scar like that for the rest of my life, and I'm grateful he repaired the wound. Today I can barely see the scar. But only a few short years later I would deal with so much pain that there would be a permanent scar on my soul. This time, however, I was glad to have an enduring reminder of my healing.

Home isn't just a place—it's a story. When my husband and I set out to build our forever home on his family's farm, we weren't just choosing land; we were choosing legacy. Every step across those pastures reminded us that roots matter—both the ones in the soil and the ones in our hearts. And as we stood beneath a solitary oak, we realized this journey was about more than a house. It was about building on a foundation that time can't shake.
