Relationships are like a dance, with visible energy racing back and forth between partners. Some relationships are the slow, dark dance of death.

Field Marshal Sir John Greer Dill, CMG , DSO , GCB (25 December 1881 - 4 November 1944) was a British commander in World War I and World War II who played a significant role in the formation of the "special relationship" between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Born in Lurgan, County Armagh, Ireland in 1881, his father was the local bank manager. Always intended for a career in the services Dill attended Cheltenham College and the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. In 1901 he joined the 1st battalion of the Leinster regiment and was posted to South Africa to see out the Boer War.
Promoted Captain in 1911 he was studying at the Staff College in Camberley on the outbreak of the First World War when he became brigade-major of the 25th brigade (8th division) in France where he was present at Neuve-Chappelle, Alvers Ridge and Bois Grenier. By the end of the war he was a Brigadier-General, had been wounded in action and mentioned in despatches eight times. Dill's entry in the Dictionary of National Biography makes clear that he was a typically excellent British officer of the period: he was handsome, charming, inspiring, noble and just a bit dim.
After the war he gained a reputation as a gifted army instructor. In 1929 he was posted to India and in 1930 was promoted to Major-General before returning to appointments at the Staff College (for in fact the third time) and then to the War Office.
Dill commanded British forces in Palestine (1936-1937) but at the outbreak of World War II Dill initially had to watch younger, junior offices be promoted over him. Seen as something of a dinosaur and poorly regarded by both Winston Churchill and Leslie Hore-Belisha, Minister for War, Dill was eventually posted to the I Corps in France (1939-40). On returning to the UK, Dill became Vice-Chief of the Imperial General Staff under the then Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Later in 1940, Dill became ADC General to King George VI.
By the time Churchill inherited him as Chief of the Imperial General Staff it was clear how poorly the two men got on. Dill gained a reputation as obstructive, unimaginative and overanxious and indeed the stress made him ill. Keen to get him out of the way, Churchill posted him to Washington as his personal representative in 1941 where he became Chief of the British Joint Staff Mission, then Senior British Representative on the Combined Chiefs of Staff. This turned out to be the point at which Dill found his feet.
He showed a great flair as a diplomatic military presence. In 1943 alone he attended the Quebec Conference, the Casablanca Conference, the Tehran Conference and meetings in India, China and Brazil. He also served briefly on the combined policy committee set up by the British and United States governments under the Quebec Agreement to oversee the construction of the atomic bomb.
In the United States he was immensely important in making the Chiefs of staff committee - which included members from both countries function, often smoothing ruffled feathers in the clash of cultures which followed. He was particularly friendly with General George Marshall (the man with a plan) and the two exercised a great deal of influence on President Roosevelt who described Dill as "the most important figure in the remarkable accord which has been developed in the combined operations of our two countries". He was also friendly with the famously unpleasant Admiral King who was initially very suspicious of cooperation with the British but who was presumably won over by Dill's charm and impressive military record.
Dill died in Washington in November 1944 and was posthumously awarded an American Distinguished Service Medal in 1945 as well as receiving an unprecedented joint resolution of Congress appreciating his services. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

The rusty shipwreck of the New Carissa sticks up from the waves next to a platform.
Nothing could be truer for the New Carissa and its nearly 10-year relationship with the Oregon Coast, the BLM, and a body of water that always gets its way.
It was February 4, 1999, to be exact, when the New Carissa ran aground. A tempestuous nautical relationship with the sagebrush-oriented BLM began when the wood-carrying, bulk cargo ship went aground on Coos Bay's North Spit. Wind and waves from the storm caused the ship to drag anchor and run aground on the beach just north of the entrance to the bay. Within days, cracks developed in the New Carissa's hull, and the vessel began leaking oil.
Even though some of the ship's tar-like "bunker" fuel was burned off before too much of it could leak, the ship lost at least 70,000 gallons into the environment.
Salvage operators and the U.S. Coast Guard struggled for weeks to tow its bow section out to sea. Not to be defeated, the ship broke free of its tow in another storm and washed back onto the beach near Waldport, Oregon. The New Carissa had enough of the seas and was determined to stay on dry land.
The stern section of the vessel has remained stranded in the surf near Coos Bay lo these many years. But, true to New Carissa's history, it's not the end of the story. Work is underway to restore the environment damaged during the oil spill and clean up the ship's remains.
In July of 2007, the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians took title to nearly 3,900 acres of Oregon Coast Range forest, as a result of the Oil Pollution Act. The New Carissa Oil Spill Natural Resource Trustees, with the BLM as the lead, jointly announced the land purchase and future management plans to benefit the marbled murrelet seabird population damaged by the oil spill. The Siletz Tribe will manage the coastal forest parcel under a legally binding conservation easement developed with the natural resource trustees.
Also in 2007, the State of Oregon (namely the Oregon Department of State Lands which has overall jurisdiction over the New Carissa) contracted with Titan Maritime, a world leader in marine salvage, to remove New Carissa's stern section from the North Spit. Titan prepared a technologically awesome shipwreck removal plan that involves using two barges positioned adjacent to the wreck to pull and cut the wreckage out of the sand.
The onshore staging area and primary access to this spot were located on public lands administered by none other than the BLM. The Bureau partnered with the State and Titan to provide free passage to hikers, equestrians, and dune buggies so the public could witness the engineering feat that is this removal process.
The New Carissa's main cargo? Wood Chips. It could carry over sixteen thousand tons - making it a pretty big "Chip Ship."

They're never easy, are they?
Two people with different personalities, backgrounds, goals, styles, needs, desires, and hopes---trying to meld their lives in a way that creates a new entity that exceeds the sum of the two individuals. Something that nurtures and supports; appreciates and enhances; understands and forgives, entertains and distracts, celebrates and respects, cherishes and adores. All the while trying to avoid the minefields of neuroses, insecurities, misunderstandings, differing dynamics, and the inevitable just plain "bad days".
I'm thinking about all this because, this past weekend, I almost blew it completely with the most important person in my life. You'd think after waiting a lifetime to find the right one that I would be more careful, but alas, I can be a real idiot sometimes.
It's kind of a wonder that I believe relationships can work at all. I loved both my parents dearly, but by the time I was about 8 I was wondering why two people who were so completely different, and who argued as much as they did, were still together? And my grandfather next door made me his trusted co-conspirator in devising ways to get out of the house on weekends so he wouldn't be shut in with my nagging grandmother. I adored her- and had a vastly different relationship with her- but could see why he needed to escape. Around the same time we lived a few doors down the street from Sal and Marie and their four kids, including Cathie who was one of my best friends. At least once every few weeks the kids would all be herded over to our house and my mom would go over to help Marie cover up the latest bruises Sal had imposed. I got to observe that dysfunctional relationship for way too many years before she finally took the kids and left him.
Looking back on those troubled relationships with a more experienced eye, I understand that there was real love involved in all of them. But love alone isn't enough to make a relationship a good one. And for all the rosy feelings at the beginning of one, not all relationships are meant to work out. Sex is a fabulous thing- I'm rather quite fond of it - but if I'm going to spend my life devoted to someone, it's going to be because of a good deal more than my raging hormones.
I'm picky. This is what I look for in someone:
-kindness
-intellectual curiosity
-passion about something
-spirituality
-humility
-creativity
-non-conformity...I value "otherness"
-thoughtfulness about and participation in global issues
-thoughtfulness about and participation in national politics/issues
and the three most important things
-a sense of humor
-a sense of the absurd
-the ability to put up with my complex, odd and inconsistent personality.
Quite a lot to expect, eh? And- of course- it's what I hope t offer the person I love.
Years ago, everyone I knew had read "The Road Less Travelled" by M. Scott Peck. After seeing reference after reference to it, and having people ask repeatedly whether or not I had read it, I finally picked it up. To be honest, I didn't find it to be the mind-bending tome everyone else seemed to think it was, but there were two indelible concepts I took from it. The first had to do with the problem of "procrastination" and, while I won't go into details here, I will say that a few paragraphs he wrote profoundly changed my way of dealing with that problem. The other concept that really resonated with me was the notion that LOVE = WORK.
His point was precisely the first line of this essay. To love someone truly and deeply means that you're willing to put in the real effort involved in the herculean task of melding two disparate lives so that you both grow together and enrich each other's lives, making both of you stronger, happier individuals. Sometimes it means letting go of your own needs to serve the needs of the other. Sometimes it means learning new ways to communicate. Sometimes it means saying something you'd prefer not to, that could possibly be hurtful to the one you love, in order for the relationship to get stronger. And trusting that they will know you are telling them out of love. It's hard work. Every day. But like crops in the field, the end result is nurturing and sustaining...it offers health and happiness.
When I was younger, nearly everyone I knew was interested in "coupling up". Somewhere around the beginning of my 40s, though, fewer and fewer of my friends seemed interested any more. "Too much work" they'd say. "A partner just saps my energy". "Not worth the effort". "Noone understands me". They did, and still do, treat me like I'm from outer space that I not only believe that love relationships are valuable and necessary, but that I think hard work and compromises are worthwhile efforts to make in pursuit of the right one. We've become so fixated on "instant gratification" in our society. When that intersects with the "ME uber alles" that seems to be so many people's mantra, it's no wonder so many relationships fail. Don't get me wrong. I don't think that all relationships are good ones. And I understand that many relationships fail because the needs of each person get consumed or pushed aside by the needs of other person or the commnual needs of the couple. The partnerships I'm in favor of give each of the individuals more personal strength and vitality, more support, more individuality, and more freedom to soar than they had when they were not in the relationship. Otherwise... what's the point?
This past weekend I was wallowing in a bit in self-pity. I let my insecurities overwhelm my intellect. I was impatient. I didn't communicate well. And I wasn't listening hard enough to my heart. Then I reverted to my very worst trait, and ran away from a conflict rather than dealing with a problem. It's not the first time I've regressed like that. Luckily I'm a big one for owning up to my mistakes, and on Monday I called him to apologize.
It's not often that we find a person we think is worth working hard for. Someone worth confronting our own demons for. Someone worth the sacrifices and growing pains. I'm very lucky to be in love with one of those.
Here are 5 kinds of guys that all women should avoid at all costs. These guys may be charming, but they will never make any girl happy in the long run.
You’ve been there. You and your friends are looking for a fun (and safe) night out on the town, spending all of your time trying to avoid the guys that have no respect for women and think that they are better than you. Well, as a woman it is extremely easy to spot these kinds of guys when they are chatting up other pretty girls at the bar or pounding down shots like they’re going out of style. But honestly, I can’t count how many times I have seen my girlfriends get chatted up by these kinds of ‘players’ and then ask me why they can never seem to catch a break with the opposite sex.
Should you let a relationship go on?

Tripoli talks advance U.S. Army relationship with Libya land forces
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa
VICENZA, Italy - The U.S. Army Africa commanding general recently made a historic trip to Libya to discuss the emerging relationship between the U.S. Army and Libya's land forces.
In early May, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III visited Tripoli, where he held talks with key Libyan military leaders. The visit indicates the U.S. Army’s commitment toward building a cooperative relationship with Libya’s land forces and increasing regional security.
Garrett’s visit was coordinated through the U.S. Embassy Tripoli and U.S. Ambassador Gene Cretz greeted Garrett at Mitiga International Airport.
“We are gradually opening a dialog that has not existed between our land forces in a long time,” Garrett said. “Times have changed and relationships must change too.”
The general’s first stop was the headquarters of the North African Regional Capability (NARC) to meet Maj. Gen. Ahmid Auwn, Libya's chief of staff for Army Mechanized Units and Executive Director of the NARC. The NARC is part of the African Standby Force, which consists of five regional brigade-size commands that can support the African Union during times of crisis. Libyan willingness to open a dialogue with the U.S. Army is in an important part of increasing regional cooperation.
“We will look to the NARC leadership to work together on future events that are mutually beneficial,” Garrett said.
The general also toured the Libyan Bureau of Technical Cooperation and National Committees, and the Libyan Military Staff College, where he met with the director, Maj. Gen. Ahmid Mahmud Azwai. These visits emphasized the importance of material standardization, training and education in developing future leaders.
Garrett's visit follows a military cooperation committee meeting held in Tripoli in late-February, where delegations of Libyan and U.S. military officers discussed areas of common interest and planned future partnership events, said Maj. Philip Archer, U.S. Army Africa’s North African Regional Desk Officer. “Proposed events include inviting Libyan officers to visit Army schools in the United States, holding discussion on border security, conducting medical exchanges and sharing helicopter procedures,” Archer said. One of U.S. Army Africa’s goals is to help Libya and other members of the NARC build the brigade into a capable force that is interoperable with other regional standby forces and can be used for peace support operations.
“U.S. Army Africa’s discussions in Tripoli are a positive step toward working together with Libya’s military,” Garrett said. “We now have a better understanding of each other’s goals and can work together to achieve increased security, stability and peace in North Africa.”
Garrett concluded his trip to Libya with a wreath laying ceremony at the tomb of fallen American sailors, who perished when their ship exploded in Tripoli harbor in 1804.

The Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, will today begin her three day visit to Rwanda, her first since she came to the helm of the institution in 2011. In an e-mail correspondence with The New Times’ Kenneth Agutamba, Lagarde sheds light on her institution’s current relationship with Rwanda and commends the country’s transformative and inclusive policies that have seen a significant decline in poverty levels.
You come here 20 years after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. In your view, what has been the trigger for Rwanda’s rapid economic renaissance?
My main message to Rwanda is that “Good policies pay off.” Let me set this in a broader context by saying that I am very happy to have the opportunity to visit Rwanda at such a pivotal moment in its history. The horrific events that occurred 20 years ago tore the social and economic fabric of the country, and it is uplifting to see the progress in rebuilding, in peace efforts, and in improving the welfare of all Rwandans.
This truly is an example in terms of social and economic transformation. It proves that effective policies and inclusive growth can be transformational.
The economic performance has been remarkable, with strong annual growth for the past 15 years. This has helped Rwanda make progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The poorest have benefited from a focus on inclusive growth, with the poverty rate falling to 45 per cent of the population in 2011 from 60 per cent in 2000.
Of course, this rate is still high, but it is definite progress and we see the trend continuing. So, while there has not been a magic bullet or a single trigger, a holistic approach, that also included a focus on the agricultural sector, employment, and gender equality, has been instrumental in sharing the fruits of high growth more widely.
What is the status of IMF relations in Rwanda at present?
We have a very close economic policy dialogue and the IMF is currently supporting the government with a Policy Support Instrument (PSI) – designed for low-income countries that have graduated from financial support but still seek to maintain a close policy dialogue.
The PSI signals the strength of a country’s policies to donors, multilateral development banks, and markets. We also provide technical assistance as part of the Fund’s efforts to increase local capacity and know-how. We have an office in Kigali, where a resident representative, currently Mitra Farahbaksh, ensures our presence in the field.
Rwanda’s PSI, which is in its second year, supports Rwanda’s own policy priorities for strong and inclusive growth, with an emphasis on domestic resource mobilization, private sector development, export diversification, regional integration, and financial sector development.
We recently reviewed this programme and welcomed the country’s continued strong performance. We also agreed with the government that more work needs to be done to further reduce Rwanda’s reliance on aid and increase its resilience to external shocks.
What is your economic outlook for the country between now and 2020?
Our outlook for Rwanda is positive. The economy is recovering from a weak performance in agriculture and delays in related project implementation in recent years. Growth rebounded last year and inflation remains well contained. We expect GDP growth rates to rise gradually towards 7-7.5 per cent in the medium term, while inflation remains within the medium-term target of 5 per cent.
I am particularly impressed with the government’s continued commitment to poverty reduction.
As part of my stay here, I will be visiting the Agaseke Handicraft Cooperative and the ICT hub (knowledge Lab) in Kigali to see firsthand how the government has managed to improve the welfare of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups such as women and youth.
As your readers are aware, the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy for 2013–18 focuses on economic transformation, rural development, and youth employment. The strategy is rightly aimed at further reducing poverty.
I think that the continued rollout of planned measures and the successful inclusion of the private sector in leading economic development will help make sizeable inroads in making growth even more inclusive and in reducing inequality.
In a recent advisory by the IMF Board, they encouraged Rwanda to widen its tax base and put emphasis on domestic revenue sourcing. What is your advice on this?
We are devoting a significant portion of our technical assistance to support Rwanda’s efforts to reduce its dependence on foreign aid. The focus is appropriately on widening the tax base – not higher taxes, but all paying a fair share.
The government has already made significant progress in the areas of revenue administration.
The push to increase the number of registered VAT payers through the introduction of electronic billing machines, and the switch in the collection of local taxes and fees from the local governments to the revenue authority, should be useful in bringing more businesses under the tax system.
The introduction of tax regimes for agriculture and mining, and improvements in property taxation, should also help achieve the goal of providing budgetary resources for key expenditures, particularly those aimed at scaling up social spending and infrastructure in a context where donor resources are likely to be limited.
Lately, Rwanda has taken to raising money through bonds, do you think this is viable?
Rwanda’s successful Euro-bond issuance in 2013 demonstrated that market financing can play a complementary role in financing investment plans. Several other African countries have followed suit over the past year.
The key is to ensure that Rwanda’s debt remains sustainable. I welcome the government’s commitment to fully explore concessional financing options and private sector participation before considering the use of non-concessional resources.
At the same time, the government’s decision to begin issuing domestic currency bonds in 2014 was an important step in the process of developing and deepening local capital markets.
www.newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2015-01-26/185319/
Creating jobs remains a high priority for this country, but as you know the private sector is also still young. What should Rwanda do to address these two issues?
On private sector development, Rwanda’s potential depends critically on full implementation of ongoing reforms to attract foreign investment and boost exports. These include reducing the cost of doing business; improving infrastructure; supporting skills development; and tapping into regional markets.
The increased provision of lower-cost electricity and improved transportation should help facilitate diversification and business development.
On creating jobs, the government has identified three key priorities: skills development, the fostering of entrepreneurship for small- and medium-sized enterprises, and supporting household enterprises. We at the Fund share this emphasis on building the capacity of Africa’s greatest resource–its people. Increased investment in infrastructure can help put people to work.
The IMF’s latest Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa projects regional GDP growth to pick up from about 5 per cent in 2013/14 to 5.75 per cent in 2015. That isn’t a big leap, is it? Can you elaborate on this?
Sub-Saharan Africa has made impressive progress over the past two decades, with growth averaging around 5 per cent. We expect that to continue in 2015, despite the impact of lower oil prices on some of Africa’s major oil exporting economies.
So there has been real progress, as growth has allowed for reducing poverty and improving living conditions.
For example, the number of people living on less than $1.25 a day in Africa has fallen significantly since 1990. But extreme poverty remains unacceptably high and not all countries are making progress. Some countries are still facing internal conflict and/or fragility.
Looking ahead, there are a number of longer-term demographic, technological and environmental challenges that need to be addressed in order to realise the ‘big leap’ that you refer to.
For instance, how can we tap into the productive capacity of Africa’s youth? How can Africa take advantage of technological innovation?
And how can we address the implications of climate change? Three broad policy priorities are crucial: building infrastructure, building institutions, and building people. Africa must also strengthen its institutional and governance frameworks to better manage its vast resources.
But the focus must be on people—with programmes aimed at boosting health and education and other essential social services. In fact, Rwanda is one of the countries that are effectively implementing policies in many of these areas.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has dealt a major blow to several African economies in the region. Can the effects of this blow spread to other parts of the continent?
The Ebola outbreak is a severe human, social and economic crisis that requires a resolute response. And the focus must be on isolating the virus, not the countries.
Strong efforts are underway in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, but it is unlikely to be brought under control before the second half of 2015.
The economic outlook for these countries has already worsened since September, when the IMF disbursed $130 million to the (three) countries to boost their response to the outbreak.
If the outbreak remains limited to the three countries, the economic outlook for the rest of sub-Saharan Africa remains favourable. Some neighbouring countries like The Gambia have seen an impact on tourism.
We are working with the governments of the three affected countries to provide additional interest-free financing of about $160 million, and expect our Board to make a decision in the next few days.
Following the endorsement by the G-20 leaders in Australia, we are also looking at further options to provide additional support to the Ebola-hit countries, including through the provision of donor-supported debt relief.
International oil prices have been tumbling, is this good for Rwanda and the other members of the EAC?
Indeed, oil prices have fallen recently, affecting both oil producers and consumers. Overall, we see the price decline as positive for the global economy. As an oil importer, Rwanda and indeed the East Africa region should benefit given that lower prices will most likely have a positive impact on growth whilst also easing inflation.
Countries can make use of this window of opportunity to reduce universal energy subsidies and use the savings toward more targeted transfers that benefit the poor.
Recently, the East African Community, a regional bloc to which Rwanda subscribes, reached a landmark Economic Partnership agreement (Epa) with Europe. Do you think that these countries need such agreements?
The EPA is designed to enhance commercial and economic relations, supporting a new trading dynamic in the region and deepening cooperation in trade and investment. It can serve as an important instrument of development in many respects.
It can promote sustained growth, increase the productive capacity of EAC economies, foster diversification and competitiveness, and, of course, boost trade, investment and employment. Rwanda is a key member of the EAC that has worked hard to create a conducive and transparent business environment. So it should benefit from this agreement.

Have you ever seen them posters for teenage relationship abuse? well for my current project at college we have to shoot our own images based on the cause and we are only allowed to use natural light. This is one of my images and I'm actually really happy with how its turned out, I never really shoot natural light indoors so it was definitely something to get used to but I really love the colours in this!
I know that you wouldn't think this is based on abuse but you don't really know how it effects someone which is what I wanted to show in my final images
Building relationships with your donors and volunteers is very similar to building relationships with your coworkers. The stronger your team, the more successful your organization will be.

U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) Command Sergeant Major Hu Rhodes and delegation attended an NCO Senior Leader Visit in South Africa to meet with the South African Land Forces Senior Chief Warrant Officer (SCWO) Mothusi Victor Kgaladi and South African Army Staff recently.
Soldiers gathered together to enhance senior NCO relationships between Active and Reserve Senior Chief Warrant Officers and included tours of the Armor, Airborne and Artillery regiments.
“Since I am just starting my tenure as the USARAF CSM, this was the perfect time to put a personal side to a professional relationship,” Rhodes said.
Rhodes reported that no amount of reading or study or second-hand explanation can replace meeting someone in person.
“We had opportunity to share serious concerns as well as share in laughter during the visit,” Rhodes said. “They know we care about our relationship with them, and we know they care about their relationship with us,” he said.
Rhodes walked away with many valuable insights, in particular knowing the commands will work together better because of this visit.
“I appreciate good Soldiers, and these were good Soldiers - from bottom to top,” the USARAF CSM emphasized. “They have a solid professional base and an obvious love of country that inspired me -- I look forward to our continued friendship,” he said.
