, who was serving in the Marines. He and others on the ship were allowed to bring family members along for the final leg of their peacetime voyage. Military personnel on the ship gave tours and let people handle a rifle.
The gun I shot was an M16, I think. First, I shot blanks and then one or two live rounds right out to the horizon. It was shocking how little recoil there was, how little it felt like what I was doing had potentially deadly power. I'll never forget that.
The second time I fired a gun was from the deck of my in-laws' house down south. I'd married into a family of hunters. They invited me to, if not go hunting with them, at least get a feel for one of their hunting rifles. They took one out of the gun cabinet and showed me how to hold it.
From the deck, I shot a pumpkin.
My other experience with guns? Well, I held a Halo prop gun once.
And at least once on the Internet, people saw a photo of me holding a fake gun and made fools of themselves, proving that there are careless people on any side of a heated debate, people who make nasty assumptions about things they know nothing about. Yeah, that happened too.
We are all unique. However, most of us do not believe it and do not communicate our value effectively.
It is what makes us stand out that makes us interesting and compels others to lean in, listen and learn. By following these six simple steps, you can demonstrate your value to your audience, build trust, become more influential and be a better leader of people no matter your title.
This is the most important thing that I can recommend to anyone. Too many of us try to emulate others. There is one problem with that: You are not them. You did not grow up the same way. You did not go to the same school or have the same friends or experiences.
So, why do you want to be like them? Embrace your past and present and learn how everything you have experienced to date has shaped you.
Be you and be proud of it! Understand what you are good at, what you are not and embrace it all.
Understand how your talents can make other people’s lives better and concentrate on that.
Focus on the little things that make you uniquely you. There will be those who resonate with this and will be drawn to you, while others will not. You cannot please everyone, and you should never try.
By understanding why you are valuable to others, your life will change. That simple fact of understanding why you draw people to you and how you can make their lives easier, and then doing something helpful, demonstrates your value to them.
People want to be near people who can help them. Make yourself indispensable and let people understand why. Trust me; it cements relationships.
Consistency is king or queen as the case may be. If you act one way and say something completely different, why should anyone trust you? Why should someone give you a job, a promotion, a seat on the board or the keys to the executive washroom if they do not think you are trustworthy?
Act consistently – in actions and speech – and people will know that you can be relied upon.
Do not be afraid to speak your mind. If you have an opinion, give it.
Those who take the time to comment on articles, post their own and engage in conversation are considered interesting and worth knowing. Those who have no opinion and have no voice of their own are not given much thought.
Be the person with ideas. It is okay to be wrong or to have a contrary opinion; it is yours, and you either need to be able to defend your position or concede gracefully.
Either way, you will be respected.
People want to know where you came from, where you are currently and where you are going. They want to know what you believe in and what you are willing to fight against.
Tell that story. Make sure it is true and 100% about you, but always have that story at your fingertips.
Why? Because stories are engaging! They let people have a window into your soul and learn things about you that will resonate with them.
Stories are also repeatable. People will retell interesting stories and spread the word about you if you give them the opportunity.
Understanding your audience is another key to your success. Knowing who the people are in the room, what they believe, what they value and what their goals are can help you achieve yours.
By understanding who you are talking to, you can tailor the conversation so they find what you have to say relevant, interesting and engaging. If you can do this, then you can gain their trust and spread your influence.
Only so much can be said in a blog post on developing a Powerful Personal Brand, but I’ll leave you with one final thought: Be authentically you!

Thomas Fehlmann - Honigpumpe Thomas Fehlmann is a bit of an alchemist among techno artists, intent on transforming noughts and ones into the aural equivalent of liquid gold. Drowning his tracks in the wetter elements of dub, Fehlmann leaves his beats to fight to the surface, battling thick and heavy swathes of processing. Fehlmann has a long history to him, too. He was a founding member of legendary post-punk/tech-poppers Palais Schaumburg alongside Basic Channel's Moritz von Oswald, with whom he later formed 3MB with Juan Atkins in the nineties, before picking up with the Orb and finding his present home at Kompakt.
Dedicated to Joseph Beuys' 1977 installation ‘Honigpumpe Am Arbeitsplatz’ ('Honey Pump in the Workplace'), in which the equally material-obsessed artist pumped honey through a museum, ‘’Honigpumpe’ ('Honey Pump') is as treacly as Fehlmann has sounded yet. Like the matter-state of honey, Fehlmann's tracks can't decide whether to hang and bang like techno-solids or drip and flow like ambient-liquid. In the tradition of Gas, Markus Guentner and Triola, much of Honig Pumpe is powered by a cushioned 4/4 thud, but unlike their fixations on gaseous clouds, Fehlmann's work is denser, viscous, more ambivalent: like dancing in quicksand.
Nonetheless, Fehlmann's mud is frequently a joy to be mired in. 'Schaum' begins all swirling and washed out, with rich, drifting pads giving way to gravelly dub stabs, while 'Arbeitstitel' sends its mid-range around a spin dryer. There are updates on previous singles: 'T.R.N.T.T.F' morphs a pop ambient tune with skanking highway shuffler 'The Road', replacing the grease and grit with shadowy blur; 'Little Big Horn (Liegend)' meanwhile reconfigures the original into a jaunty blend of Krautrock drive and disco-funk swagger. 'Bienenkönigin' finds him at his most buoyant, where a pogoing ska pulse battles elastic tones and dripping arpeggios, ricochets matched by Fehlmann's bopping, gangly frame when played out live. At the other end is ambient closer 'With Oil' (taken from Pop Ambient 2005), whose sinuous threads reflect glistening rainbows of light, like the leftovers of a tanker spill.
But these extremes are not extreme enough, leaving 'Honig Pumpe' sounding somewhat monochromatic. This generally works to Fehlmann's advantage, as Honig Pumpe is more a coherent album than a set of same-y pieces. With most tracks stuffed to bursting with competing sounds streams - drones, pads, shakers, bells - all smeared into formlessness, things can get a little sickly, but Fehlmann's production is sufficiently rich as to be worth the queasiness.

I would like to replace my programmer with a Nest Heat Link and the room thermostat by a Nest Thermostat. I am confident how to wire the Nest Heat Link and Thermostat (refer to second wiring diagram below), however since my junction box is using a Omron MY4 relay I do not think I can simply connect the white cable of the motorised valve to connector 3 of the Nest Heat Link. Instead I believe I should simply install a jumper cable between connectors 1 and 3 in my current junction box (shown in red) which would effectively "simulate" the original thermostat to be permanently forced to ON. Would you agree?
It is not a standard three port valve read this thread and consider if you want to touch it?
I think your diagram will likely work, however I would be worried after reading the other thread about using that three port valve, and would say this is not the time of year to do the job, I would wait for warmer weather first, so if anything goes
