For me, it is funny but serious that the phrase I started saying in 2019 that we were going to keep building Arleigh Burke DDGs “until the crack of doom” has turned into prophecy. With the anticipated death of DDG(X) and FFG-62, the Burkes are about the only game in town. That fact naturally flows into a point we have raised here and on the Midrats Podcast for the last couple of decades: How are we going to conduct repair and maintenance under combat conditions should we find ourselves in a fight west of the International Date Line?Well, we've got the perfect intersection of both issues for the next episode of Midrats.This RAND Report from May caught my eye:The Arleigh Burke–class guided missile destroyer, commonly known as a DDG-51, is the primary surface combatant vessel of the U.S. Navy. These ships—designed to operate in contested environments—are likely to sustain widespread battle damage from diverse attacks should a conflict develop in the Indo-Pacific region. The prevalent nature of this damage would give rise to the greatest demand for ship repair that the Navy has experienced since World War II.To evaluate requirements for and potential issues with a significant demand for salvaging and repairing battle-damaged destroyers, the authors conducted a tabletop exercise on August 13–14, 2025, with participants from the United States and allied nations in the Indo-Pacific. The participants were split into four groups, and each group represented U.S. and allied stakeholders who would be involved in the repairs.The report is titled, Battle Damage Repair for Arleigh Burke–Class Destroyers: Tabletop Exercise Results.Our guest is one of the authors of the report, Bradley Martin.Bradley Martin is a senior policy researcher at RAND. He retired from the Navy as a surface warfare Captain after 30 years of service, including four command tours.In addition to his operational tours, Martin served on the staff of U.S. Forces Japan, on the OPNAV staff as an operations analyst, and, most recently, as the Navy coordinator for participation in Joint Staff and OSD requirements and resources forums. His subspecialties included operations research, operational logistics, and strategic planning. His work at RAND focuses on Navy force structure and capabilities, supply chain security and resilience, and national security strategy. Prior to joining the Navy, he achieved a doctorate in political science from the University of Michigan, while working as a research assistant for the Correlates of War Project.Show LinksBattle Damage Repair for Arleigh Burke–Class DestroyersRepair CFT Brief for JTEG Forum on “Expeditionary Repair” CDR Erich C. Schwarz, USN, July 2022SummaryIn this episode, we explore the insights from a recent tabletop exercise on naval repair capabilities and strategic challenges in the Indo-Pacific, featuring Captain Brad Martin.

South Africa has budgeted a trillion rand for infrastructure over the next three years. It's spending less than it did twelve months ago. Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson lays out why: a tender system that awards roughly one in six bids, a construction mafia that until recently shut down sites almost daily, and a state entity that was bankrupt and whose boss allegedly tried to bribe a journalist. He also explains what's actually working, from Cape Town's record infrastructure spend to a national crackdown that's already produced 241 arrests. Not a comfortable watch for anyone hoping this is just how things are.

Principals are constantly told to "do more with less." But doing the same work with fewer people, less money, less time, and less support is not resourcefulness. It's making bricks without straw. In this episode, I break down why shrinking budgets are quietly shrinking schools' visions—and how Builders keep pursuing 100% without pretending that resources don't matter. THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY THE SUPPORTING STRUGGLING STUDENTS IMPLEMENTATION KIT Strengthen Tier 1 Support by helping your staff  create SUCCESS Plans that make better use of the intervention capacity you still have: https://buildershipuniversity.com/implementation-kit/  WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: • What new RAND research reveals about the shift from school improvement to financial survival • Why "maintaining our gains" can become a respectable-sounding way to lower expectations • How eliminated positions create invisible transfers of work to principals • The difference between being resourced and being resourceful • Why programs, positions, and purchases cannot become the anchor for your vision • How a principles-based ONE Plan helps you pivot without diminishing the result • How to identify what your school should stop, redesign, or request when resources shrink • The five questions in a one-page Priority Protection Plan Budget cuts don't merely reduce what is available.

Day 1,627.Today, after a weekend that may have seen a record number of drones launched across Ukraine and Russia, we examine what it is actually like to endure a ballistic missile attack – and how different that experience is from a drone barrage. Then, as Kyiv and other cities come under constant bombardment from weapons Ukrainian air defences cannot reliably intercept, we assess the arguments made by some that Ukraine's increasingly ambitious strikes inside Russia could give Vladimir Putin the pretext he needs to mobilise hundreds of thousands more men. We also answer your questions about what Kyiv can realistically do to solve its missile crisis, revealing why President Donald Trump appears to have reversed course over giving Ukraine the blueprints needed to manufacture Patriot missiles.Contributors: Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Antonia Langford (Freelance Journalist in Kyiv). @Antonialford on X.With thanks to RAND engineer Michael Bohnert. @mbohnert on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Onwards! Or more accurately - downwards! Because we're continuing the saga of early gold digging around the farm Langlaagte, and the other farms like Turfontein, it is 1886, hundreds of treasure hunters have descended on the empty veld just south of the Witwatersrand Ridge. First a quick note about Kimberley, where the mining magnates were locked in a struggle for supremacy trying to secure control over the lucrative industry. As you heard last episode, one of these, JB Robinson, had run into cash difficulties but was determined to travel to the Witwatersrand to assess for himself just how much gold could be mined in the Main Reef discovered by the two Georges. He'd borrowed 20 000 pounds from another Kimberley magnate Alfred Beit, and along with Beit's partner Maurice Marcus, launched the Robinson Syndicate with a total capital of 30 000 pounds. Then he leapt aboard a stagecoach for the gruelling four day trip between Kimberley and Potchefstroom where he arrived on the 22 July 1886. When this archetype converged on the Witwatersrand in 1886, they encountered a landscape defined by absolute physical indifference. The main reef was not an easy vein of rich quartz waiting for a prospector's spade as you've heard. It was a mysterious sloping and tilted sheet of ancient pyritic conglomerate, the banket, plunging deep into the earth's crust. On the surface, the highveld in July is icy at night, sometimes sleet blows when the antartic fronts charge up from the south, sweeping the ridge with handfulls of pain. When Robinson pitched up and set about breaking the land to fit his intent, it was a virgin of veld, clean and wide open. Within a decade the land had been utterly transformed by thousands of men forcing their way along the sloping banket, intent on finding treasure. JB Robinson spent a few days crunching through the conglomerate and realised that this reef was like no-other. How deep it went was still unknown, but that it was extensive was obvious. Petronella Oosthuizen, the widow, owned Portion D of LAnglaagte Farm, and her fortunes were indeed improving by the day. Robinston made a b-line straight for her house, and secured mining and water rights from the widow on July 27th 1886, paying 450 pounds with an additional option to buy the farm outright for 6000 pounds. In September the canny investor did just that, and also negotiated mining and water rights from the owner of Langlaagte Portion B, Anna de Beer Mulder. That cost Robinson one thousand pounds. Robinson later faced criticisms and a whispering campaign, it was rumoured that he had used his charm to seduce Petronella Oosthuizen before negotiating her land away. Petronella was paid the equivalent of 7 million Rand for her land — not a little — but in comparison to it's value, not a lot either. But he didn't stop there. Remember Robinson had a war chest of 30 000 pounds and was determined to buy up as much land as he could. He purchased fifty percent of a portion of Vogelstruisfontein Farm, the other half was owned by prospector Jan Bantjies as well as 50 percent of the Turfontein Farm — next door to Langlaagte. By snapping up the 12 000 hectares, Robinson was the first of a wave of Kimberley's rich who would make the journey north to the Witwatersrand. The second wave included Cecil John Rhodes. There is a bit of a myth about his involvement, that he was a late comer to the scene. That is inaccurate, if you cast your memory back to a far earlier episode, I explained how Rhodes had bought the farm Roodepoort near the gold bearing reefs more than ten years earlier — there it was a purchase based on a whim. A bit of luck you'd say. Rhodes had been present that day in April 1886 when Kimberley shop keeper Alexander had crushed conglomerate brought to Kimberley from the Witwatersrand, he had seen the public panning demonstration that revealed a gleaming line of wealth and was impressed as was JB Robinson.

The New Intellectual Book Study is a free book club discussing For the New Intellectual, by Ayn Rand. This week our reading was pages 146–164. About the Book Study: Today's society is degenerating into a cult of despair. Not even churches are immune. In For the New Intellectual, Ayn Rand gave a brilliant overview of the status of Western culture, what brought us here, and how to bring a second Renaissance. The book is a good first or second read for someone wanting to understand Ayn Rand's Objectivism. Rand offered the book as a collection of the essential ideas in her philosophy “for those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence.” Rand's goal was to advocate against mysticism, altruism, and collectivism, and for their opposites: reason, individualism, and capitalism. This book study was designed for Christians interested in understanding Rand's work and finding out where her insights can be valuable specifically to Christians.

A grieving mother wasn't allowed to dress her own dead baby—because the government had already taken the child's legs. She was just one of thousands.For decades the U.S. government ran a classified program to collect dead babies and children from hospitals and morgues on multiple continents, to measure nuclear fallout in their bones. It was called Project Sunshine.I dig through the actual declassified 1953 RAND report and the declassified 1955 transcript where a Nobel Prize winner asks a room full of scientists to go body-snatching for their country.I follow the trail from Castle Bravo, into the room where they plotted, and out to the mothers in Britain, Scotland, and Australia who got jars of ash, decades too late.Topics covered (among others):The Men Who Did the Math: why the founding blueprint targeted children by design before anyone ever said "body snatching."The Channels: Houston's "poverty cases," the cover stories, and the man who priced a dead child by the sample.The Mothers and the Ash: the human cost, the file that's still "not declassifiable," and the treaty that this whole nightmare helped create.

Back in the fall, Trump's NSPM-7 redirected the FBI, DOJ, and IRS toward "left-wing political violence," opening the door to labeling domestic groups terrorist organizations — despite three independent datasets (New America, CSIS, even the ADL!) showing right-wing violence outpacing left-wing violence by factors of 9-to-1 or greater.  Last week, Rubio's "Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism" internationalized this McCarthy reboot. Central to the rhetoric of Rubio and Miller is framing leftist politics as being driven by envy and resentment rather than a response to inequality. Matthew traces this rhetoric, empirically contradicted by relative deprivation research, back through Nietzsche, Scheler, Schoeck, and Rand.  Four days after the Ministerial, the State Department's Cuba report named 70+ Americans — from spies to wedding guests — as one undifferentiated network, a scapegoat machine now churning out congressional subpoenas, a federal grand jury, and a widening dragnet.

What if everything you think success requires is actually the thing burning you out? In this episode of the Do The Thing Podcast, host Stacey Lauren sits down with Rand Selig, a Stanford-educated investment banker, author of Thriving, and creator of the Comfort Circles framework, to unpack what it really takes to build a fulfilled life. Rand shares how he turned a four-foot stack of notes into a bestselling book, why he believes retirement should be called rewirement, and the five foundational elements of his redefined vision of success, starting with being before doing. He also opens up about a difficult relationship with his father, the letter his therapist told him to write, and the four things he learned he can actually control: attitude, effort, behavior, and action. If you are ready to stop measuring your life by accomplishments alone and start actually thriving, this conversation is packed with tools you can use today. Topics covered: redefining success, work-life balance, personal growth, overcoming burnout, healing family relationships, life transitions, leadership versus management, aging well.

The ghosts of Covid past reignite an old feud on Capitol Hill. Today, Republican Senator Rand Paul was looking for a fight. But Dr. Anthony Fauci, compelled by a subpoena to testify about the nation's Covid response, did not give him one. Instead, his response, repeated over 100 times, was, "Under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions."    Learn more about your ad choices.

"Individualism without a sense of unity is just as dangerous as the hive mind." This one's a little different. Nicky Billou hands his longtime energy-healing mentor Lisa Kavanagh a copy of Ayn Rand's Anthem, no priming, and the two of them just talk through it — what it says, what it gets right, and where it goes too far. Lisa had never read Rand before. She found the story of a man raised in a collective so total it abolished mirrors and the word "I" genuinely unsettling in how current it feels — but she isn't shy about pushing back on the ending, where Rand's hero swings from one extreme to another. Nicky fills in the rest: who Rand was, what she escaped, and why Anthem still sells alongside The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged decades after her death. If you've ever wondered whether a short, decades-old novella is worth your time, this is basically two friends talking you into reading it.

The binary was never the point. Individualism on one side, collectivism on the other — pick a jersey, join a team. But the line that actually matters runs somewhere else: between a person who has a self and a person who has dissolved into the group. In this episode, Joel and Yerasimos pull the threads on what collectivism is actually doing to the psyche — the altruistic programming that weaponizes moral guilt against your own desires, the truth-seeker community that becomes its own herd, and the envy that surfaces when you watch someone else stop asking permission to live. The conversation moves through Rand's virtue of selfishness, Jung's safe road, and the heroic act of individuation.

The New Intellectual Book Study is a free book club discussing For the New Intellectual, by Ayn Rand. This week our reading was pages 131–146. About the Book Study: Today's society is degenerating into a cult of despair. Not even churches are immune. In For the New Intellectual, Ayn Rand gave a brilliant overview of the status of Western culture, what brought us here, and how to bring a second Renaissance. The book is a good first or second read for someone wanting to understand Ayn Rand's Objectivism. Rand offered the book as a collection of the essential ideas in her philosophy “for those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence.” Rand's goal was to advocate against mysticism, altruism, and collectivism, and for their opposites: reason, individualism, and capitalism. This book study was designed for Christians interested in understanding Rand's work and finding out where her insights can be valuable specifically to Christians.

Day 1,606.Today, after one of its biggest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv of the war, we hear about Ukraine's strikes on warehouses belonging to Russia's equivalent to Amazon, costing millions in damages and a cloud of smoke visible for 2000 kilometers. Then we consider the rumours that Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi may be next for the chop as protests continue over President Zelensky's removal of Defence Minister Fedorov. And, with our guest, we try to answer a key question: now President Trump has promised to share the blueprints for Patriot missiles with Kyiv, how long will it take for Ukraine to build its own version?Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Alex Nichol (Telegraph Journalist).With thanks for Michael Bohnert – Engineer at RAND.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
