A popular Nigerian singer, Orezi, survived a ghastly motor accident which occurred on Friday morning 6th of December, on the popular third mainland bridge in Lagos.
it was gathered that the singer was on his way to catch up with a morning flight when the incident occurred.
According to him: "I was seated at the back when it happened and it seems I crash my jaw into the front seat so I lost consciousness and was just bleeding from everywhere. I still managed to make the flight after I got first aid but I'm fine now".
Months back, Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie was involved in a car crash.
Edochie, who is a Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Creative & Entertainment Media to the Anambra State governor said he was travelling to eastern Nigeria when the accident occurred.
"I left Lagos yesterday heading to the east, just before I got to Ore doing100-200km, my car lost control and started veering off to the right.
"I tried to steer it back on track, next thing I knew I was upside down tumbling till the car finally ended up in the gutter. Miraculously, I came out alive with a few cuts and bruises.
"I thank Almighty God for his blessings, I thank our blessed mother Mary and to all the angels sent by God to protect me always, thank you", he said.

CHANNEL CONNECT — Master agent Intelisys opened its Channel Connect 2016 with an overall message for its partners: Change is coming and change is good.
Tech distributor ScanSource has completed its acquisition of Intelisys in a first-of-its-kind acquisition for the channel.
The Intelisys conference, in Napa, California, has attracted more than 1,100 attendees and more than 80 supplier partners.
Andrew Pryfogle, Intelisys' senior vice president of cloud transformation, said this community is "uniquely positioned to take advantage of change."
"Their customers look to them for leadership when it comes to change and their colleagues do, and our partner community is in a position where they're going to be able to leverage the opportunities that come to them from change," he said. "One of those changes, of course, is the acquisition of Intelisys that we think changes our industry. That's presented already massive new opportunities for our partner community."
The channel in the telecom sector, for decades, hasn't received the validation it deserves from the larger marketplace, "and I think that's what this acquisition does, it finally puts a value on what a business like this is worth," Pryfogle said.
"And it says to the larger industry that this channel really knows how to move the needle when it comes to recurring revenue, and that's what everything is shifting to," he said. "This as a service model is what's going to drive innovation going forward. That's why this acquisition changes the industry. Before now, people didn't really know what this channel was and it was accounting for a few percentage points of the overall spin. You're going to see that dramatically go up … an anticipated increase of over $40 billion in spend shifting to the channel in the next four years."
Mike Baur, ScanSource CEO, (pictured above) told attendees the opportunity is "interesting, big enough and will move the needle for ScanSource." Being a public company, ScanSource's investors are expecting a lot of from this deal and "my goal is to deliver that," he said.
"There are a lot of people at ScanSource that are eager to engage," he said. "We'll make some…

After having to halt and then restart the construction phase, a midstream operator raised concerns about possible gaps in the operational readiness of the new gas plant.
The situation
An independent production and midstream company with operating assets across the U.S. needed to identify operating and safety gaps for a new gas plant coming on-stream. Plant construction had been started previously but was halted. Construction was restarted but due to a lack of continuity during the halted phase, concerns were raised about possible gaps in operational readiness.
Our approach
Advisian conducted an analysis of readiness criteria including operations, safety, environmental, and permitting, which included:
- Documentation of current status with gaps identified
- Risk assessment and prioritization workshops to identify and rank gaps
- Examination by our multi-discipline team of management systems, training, operating procedures, permit status, and incident handling plans (fire, release)
- Action plans developed and proposed to remedy gaps
Key analysis findings included:
- The permitting, environmental, and incident handling plans were in place and sufficient
- The operating procedures including commissioning, start up, operating, optimization, shutdown, and abnormal operations handling were insufficient
- A personnel training and development program would be required for new staff
Implementation approach focused on:
- Operating procedure development and Fire Protection Plan
- Procedure Approval and Management of Change processes
- Working with the client, Advisian, WorleyParsons Services, and equipment vendors jointly developed the required procedures.
- Staff in eight locations worked together with staggered schedules to allow sequential work on procedures 16 hours a day to compress the schedule time.
- Cost-effective training resources were also identified for the client.
Value delivered
Procedures were created, reviewed, and implemented on schedule. The plant was able to start up on the planned date, allowing the client to meet contractual delivery obligations.

Not exactly sure how much of a security risk these were, but at the Miami International Airport (MIA), a man was detained last Thursday by TSA for trying to smuggle 7 snakes through the security scanner - inside his pants. They didn't say if they were venomous or not or how large, but what a place to hide them!
He also has 3 tortoises contained in a nylon bag - also inside his pants.
He was arrested for trafficing in illegal wildlife.
He must have looked a little lumpy, if nothing else.
You can't make this stuff up.

Concealed Carrier Turns the Tables on Armed Robbers
When would you have acted against these armed robbers? I think this South Carolina CWP holder did a great job of practicing Active Self Protection to keep himself and everyone in the barber shop safe!
News story of the armed robbers meeting effective resistance (with link to the surveillance video): https://get-asp.com/rafe
What does this incident teach us about confronting armed robbers?
- Keep your firearm on your person! Plenty of people keep a firearm stationed near them under the counter or on a desk or in the glove compartment of their car, but in the moment of need you can't ever be sure that you can get to it if it's not on your person. These armed robbers gave an opportunity that ONLY was accessible to someone whose firearm was on their person, ready to go. So keep your firearm on your person at all times.
- If you do not have the attitude, skills, and plan to protect yourself from an attacker, then your only option is to submit to their demands and hope it works out for the best. I would never suggest that a helpless person try to defend themselves against a carjacking or armed robbery, though of course if it's a matter of life and death you must do whatever you can. The point, though, is not to be a helpless victim! This is the heart of Active Self Protection, to motivate you to train and help you develop the attitude, skills, and plan so that you can choose to protect yourself if it makes sense in the moment rather than being forced into compliance with a violent felon. The armed robbers here had it all over the people who were not armed and ready to resist them.
- If you have spiritual fitness by knowing what you're willing to fight for and that you're willing and ready to win the fight no matter what, you place yourself way ahead of most attackers. Attackers are looking for victims and not looking for fights, so many times when an intended victim puts up a significant fight they will disengage and find other prey. This makes sense even in the animal kingdom where we often see an apex predator disengage from feisty prey for fear of injury. Being ready to defend yourself is a key in self-defense because that defense will often cause the bad guy to run. This is part of why spiritual fitness is so important to self-defense. Here the second of the two armed robbers ran away the minute there was armed resistance, and that is a pattern that we see quite often.
- Successful self-defense against many attacks involves a counter-ambush, where the victim finds the right opportunity to seize the initiative from the attacker and launch an ambush of their own. That involves thinking and knowing your own strengths and skill set, and being ready to strike the attacker when your opportunity for counter-ambush comes. Against these armed robbers the CWP holder set a counter-ambush by waiting until the armed robbers weren't thinking about him to attack. That was wise.
- Against multiple attackers every self-defender must know and train and practice that it's death to focus on one too much. When every attacker is an equal threat, we practice the "Boarding House Rules" that everyone gets firsts before anyone gets seconds. If possible, stack the attackers one behind the other rather than getting between them, because if you get between them then one will have your back. It's better if possible to work to the outside of the group and keep one between you and the others. These armed robbers kept the group between them so that wasn't possible, but the CWP holder did a great job of not getting too focused on one of them!
- Marksmanship matters! The old saying is quite true: you can't miss fast enough to win a gunfight. As a self-defender you need to practice and train to put your first shot on target as fast as you can, but the key is to put as many shots on target as possible. Once the armed robbers had gunshots in them, the entire fight changed. Usually the first one to get shots on target wins the fight, so train and practice to be the one to get the first shot on target.
- The human body is designed to take a ridiculous amount of punishment and still function. You can shoot someone multiple times and they can still pose a deadly threat! Even mortally wounded people can continue to pose a threat for several seconds to even minutes after being shot, so don't think for a moment that shooting someone will necessarily immediately incapacitate them. That is Hollywood myth. The first of the two armed robbers was mortally wounded in the fight, but notice that he continued to be a deadly threat for some time. Be prepared for your first, second, and third shot on target to take some time to be effective, and shoot until the threat stops.
Attitude. Skills. Plan.

A Bespoke Service or DIY?
So it'll soon be Easter and the bank holiday season. No doubt you, along with thousands of others, will decide to tackle some DIY over the bank holidays and head out for your nearest DIY store full of great ideas and enthusiasm.
But, stop and think for a moment whether this is actually the right way to go?
If the weather is nice and you are going to tackle the garden or outside space do you really want to cram the family in the car, scrunched together in the heat, to then drive and spend half an hour just looking for a space on the already busy car park?
Once inside the store you wander around trying to find the aisle you need whilst seemingly everyone with a name badge on their overalls is busy with another customer or walks past like you are the Invisible Man. All this whilst the other half decides to grab every paint tester pot and wallpaper sample they can physically carry. The children are screaming at you because you didn't buy them an ice cream from the van conveniently situated outside and so instead begin to blackmail you into shiny new things for their bedrooms/garden/play area etc. Sound familiar?
Once you find the gate you want you then have to carry it yourself and get it loaded into the car. (Obviously making sure not to break the paint tester pots, rip the wallpaper samples, bang the kids new lamps/ornaments or anything else they've picked up!)
Once home you breathe a sigh of relief at having made it back in one piece. Now you can relax yes? No! Then you realise you now have to fit the gate. Having argued with the other half over where exactly it's going to go you have to make sure you have all the fixings for the gate, all the necessary tools then you have to fix it making sure it hangs properly and can be opened and locked when needed. All this whilst the kids and dog all decide to test it out whilst you're still trying to install it.
Yeah, you're exhausted just thinking about it aren't you? You're already dreading it and wondering how you could possibly avoid having to do it all without being nagged constantly for months that the "hole" where the gate should be lets the dog/kids out, or in, or looks a mess.
Wouldn't you be rather sitting in the garden enjoying the nice weather? Then you can! Just pick up the phone and ring Sykes Bespoke Steel. We will come out to you for a free design visit to see what it is you need, how you want it to look and take measurements. We shall send you a quote and once you're happy with it we can get on making it for you. Once made we can have it galvanized, so it's less maintenance for you in the long run, and paint it. (See our previous blog post for more details on galvanizing http://sykesbespokesteel.co.uk/what-is-galvanizing-and-why-is-it-important/) Then our team of experienced fitters will come and fit it for you
Once it's fitted and you're happy with it then you pay (other than a small deposit to secure your order) then you can sit back in the knowledge it's all done by a team of professionals
If you would like to know more then call us today on 0161 303 7383 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how we can make your life easier

text: Emerging Tech Firm seeks optical edge Terri Gimpelson @itworldca Published: November 29th, 2001A Kanata, Ont.-based optical startup is about to emerge from stealth mode with a product said to integrate optical switching and transmission at one-fifth the cost and real estate of alternatives.The company is Edgeflow Inc., and its product is the Edgeflow Optical Add/Drop Switch (OADX) 7200. The 7200 occupies half a rack and combines wave division multiplexing (WDM) with cross-connect functionality.The 7200 is said to be "transparent," in that it supports a variety of services, including SONET, Gigabit Ethernet and storage-area network protocols, on several all-optical interfaces. They include dense WDM (DWDM), coarse WDM (CWDM), and 1310 nm, 1560 nm and 850 nm.The 7200 terminates wavelengths at each hop and switches them electronically. It "retimes, reshapes and regenerates" the optical signal, according to Edgeflow, which saves on the cost of additional regeneration equipment."They've offered a workable combination that switches wavelengths electrically, and it's bit rate- and protocol-independent," said Mark Storm, optical networking program leader at Frost and Sullivan in San Antonio, Tex. "Other switches don't have the ability to manipulate wavelengths inside the box."The 7200 supports multiple topologies such as point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, ring and mesh. In point-to-multipoint topologies, Edgeflow says its 7200 can support "bridge and roll" maintenance in which a signal is broadcast, or bridged, across a secondary path.If the primary path fails, the connection is "rolled" over to the secondary path, and signal transmission resumes. Path restoration can take from less than 50 milleseconds to less than two seconds, Edgeflow says.In its initial release, the 7200 will be available in a fully redundant, 128-by-128 switching fabric. Other releases of the product will include a metropolitan edge switch supporting 16 or 32 OC-48 lambdas, and a metro access unit supporting four or eight OC-48 lambdas. Emerging Tech switching

Get the latest industry scoop
From Home Furnishing Business
September 11,
2019 by Laurie Northington in Business Strategy, Industry
W.S. Badcock Corporation (Badcock), a leading furniture retailer with 367 stores in eight states, has fully launched the Badcock Home Furniture &More brand's website e-commerce functionality, offering all product lines that are currently available through its brick and mortar stores.
The company quietly rolled out its new cart and checkout functions at the beginning of May as part of a testing phase in order to ensure a seamless and positive customer experience before spotlighting its new capabilities to the public.
Badcock Home Furniture &more recognizes that this is the age of customer experience and the ability to transact online from the comfort of home is the expectation by today's digitally-connected consumer.
Like most e-commerce platforms, customers can visit www.badcock.com to browse products, gain product knowledge, read reviews, finalize purchases, and schedule delivery from their local Badcock store. Since furniture is a look, feel, and test category, customers are also able to see which stores in their area have the desired products on display. This allows the customer to view items in person, ask friendly associates any remaining product questions, and finalize purchasing decisions. Time-crunched consumers prefer this type of functional duality which allows them to do their browsing on their own and streamlines any optional visit to a physical store.
"Having an e-commerce offering was an obvious and important need for our company to continue to grow," said Rob Burnette, president and CEO. "Even though we are a company with a rich and long heritage, we have to make sure to continuously adapt to meet our customer where they are. Right now, and in the future, our customers are online and have expectations that we are as well."
The long-planned venture came to fruition through a partnership with long-time, furniture retailer focused Storis' integrated e-commerce platform, eStoris. At Badcock, Director of Special Projects Kelley Trivett, spearheaded the project from its inception which included a site re-design with more robust content and functionality in August of 2018. Guiding the team and other partners, Trivett oversaw the details and scope of work to bring the ambitious initiative to life. Of the launch, she says, "I am humbled and honored to be part of such an important project for Badcock's continued success. It has been a long road to get here, but I am pleased with the results so far and am incredibly proud and thankful of the efforts by my team and others that helped us along the way."
For Vice President of Marketing Barb Scherer, who joined the company in January and has oversight for e-commerce, "E-commerce closes the loop for us for our customers' journeys. As we continue to evolve how we engage with home furnishings shoppers through more digital channels, it's important that the brand itself become omni-channel to adapt to their behaviors and meet their needs." She continued, "I am very proud of our special projects e-commerce team that has worked so hard to make this become a reality for the company."
"Our motto and our focus is that Badcock will treat you right. Regardless of whether you are an online customer or an in-store customer, your satisfaction is our top priority and we will do everything we can to make sure your experience is a positive one," concluded Burnette.

The complex of ideas concerning the ka is one of the most important in Egyptian religion. Since these ideas have no exact analogues in European cultures, it is impossible to translate adequately the word kʒ and to identify the ka with more familiar concepts. Interpretations of the ka are numerous, ambiguous, and usually unsatisfactory, and they range from its identification with the Latin genius to analogy with "mana."
The word ka was expressed by the hieroglyph of two upraised arms, usually considered a symbol of the embrace (or protection) of a man by his ka, although other interpretations are possible. A distinction should be made between the internal and external ka, as well as between the royal and the human ka, since these concepts were qualitatively different.
The idea that there was something securing the physical and mental activities of man arose in Egypt and elsewhere in prehistory. The ka (internal ka) was one of those entities. Its nature is reflected in numerous words going back to the same root: kʒj ("think about," "intend"), kʒ.t ("thought"), nkʒj ("think about"), kʒj ("speak"), kʒ.t ("vagina"), bkʒ.tj ("testicles"), nkj ("copulate"), nkjkj ("fertilize"), bkʒ ("be pregnant," "impregnate"), nkʒkʒ ("good condition of flesh"). Such words as ḥḳʒ, ḥḳʒ.w ("magic," "magic spells"), ḥḳʒ ("enchant," "be enchanted"), ḥḳʒj ("sorcerer"), and ḥḳʒ(w) ("god Heqa, personification of magic") reflect the supernatural essence of the ka. The reproductive role of the ka is obvious, but its connection to thought processes is less clear. The mind was usually related to the ba (as in the Dispute of a Man with his Ba, where confusion of thought is described as a dialogue with that entity), but the word ḫmt ("think" or "to act three together") leads one to suppose that there was also an idea of thinking as a trilateral process, with the ka playing some obscure role, along with the ba. Owing to the role of the ka in thinking, kʒ could designate human individuality as a whole, and in different contexts it could be translated as "character," "nature," "temperament," or "disposition." Since character to a great extent preordains the life of an individual, kʒ also means "destiny," or "providence." This use of the word engendered a tradition of interpreting the ka as a kind of universal vital force, but this idea is too abstract, and even the examples cited above show that the meaning of kʒ was far more concrete in each context.
The ancient mind adopted personifications readily. It transformed this "inner motor" into a certain being. It seems that this being (the external ka) was primarily associated with the placenta, (the twin of a man), and was born with him. Supernatural associations of the placenta and the umbilical cord are reported by ethnographers in central Africa, but in Egypt such notions were forced out early by more elaborate ideas, and only allusions to them can be traced in dynastic times.
The scenes of the king's birth depict Khnum forming the baby king and his ka on a potter's wheel. In Old Kingdom pyramid temples, New Kingdom royal tombs, and the temples of the gods, there are many representations of the ka accompanying the king, either as a personified kʒ sign or as a human form with the kʒ sign on its head. The kʒ hieroglyph holds the serekh with the Horus name of the king, while the ka itself bears an ostrich feather (the symbol of the world harmony, or maat) in one hand, and a long staff with a final shaped like the king's head (mdw-špsj) in the other hand. Thus, the royal ka is related to the Horus name describing the presence of the sky-god in the king. This portrays the dualism of the king's nature, which combines divine and mortal components: divinity is realized through the ka. In a number of cases (especially in the Old Kingdom), the finial is arranged at the level of the head of the falcon on the serekh, thus forming a composition structurally and semantically similar to the statues depicting the king with his head embraced by the falcon's wings, and demonstrating his double nature. The relation between the royal ka and Horus is apparent in its identification with Harsiese in the New Kingdom (although it could hardly be originally associated with Osirian ideas).
Another, qualitatively different aspect of the ka can be seen mainly on the monuments of private persons. The Egyptians were amazed by the fact that depiction can evoke in consciousness an image of the represented. These images were objectified, turned from a part of the psyche into a part of the medium, and identified with the external ka. As a result, these representations (at first statues, but also murals) became the main cult objects in tombs and temples. This is further supported by the words n kʒ n NN ("for the ka of NN"), which were almost obligatory in the adjacent offering formulas. The most common translation of the word kʒ as "double" is applicable mainly to this external human ka.
Unlike the royal ka, the human ka was never represented as a separate figure, because any representation itself is the ka. This explains the indifference of Egyptian artists to rendering individual features. They did not reproduce the portrait of an individual, but that of his ka, who was eternally youthful and in perfect shape.
In an Old Kingdom private tomb, the pictures created an entire world for the ka. It is an exact although incomplete copy of the earthly world: only people and objects essential for the owner are depicted. Being a reproduction of everyday life, this "doubleworld" is surprisingly realistic; nothing supernatural, the gods included, is represented. Every tomb formed its own Doubleworld, and their total did not merge into an aggregate next world.
The notion of the ka was a dominating concept of the next life in the Old Kingdom. In a less pure form, it lived into the Middle Kingdom, and lost much of its importance in the New Kingdom, although the ka always remained the recipient of offerings.

When your appliances fail or become outdated, you may be thinking that it's time to spruce up that kitchen with new cabinetry and some new countertops and flooring. There are many types of home improvement jobs people attempt to do for many reasons. Before you pull out that tape measure, though, take a few minutes to read these tips.
Quality counts when you are shopping for home improvement supplies. Saving a few dollars on building materials and appliances can be tempting. Even so, it might be a better investment to spend more money now rather than later. Buy something durable regardless of whether it is a little more expensive.
When it comes to home improvement, it is important to realize that the more customized your have, the less likely it will be appreciated by your future buyers. If you are concerned about the resale value of your house, it is important to appeal to the general public as opposed to your own tastes.
If you have a cabinet door that just won't stay closed, try replacing the cabinet lock. You might want to try using a magnetic cabinet lock, as they generally last longer than wheel based cabinet lock systems. Simply remove the old lock and attach the new lock in the same location. Use wood screws if needed to create new holes.
Expanding your storage options could be the perfect choice for your next home improvement project. Consider adding shelving to a coat closet or building a small table with drawers to add to your kitchen. Even small projects like these will give you a place to put toys, hats, or silverware.
Store your glue bottles upside downLF
Everyone loves a nice bathroom. You can do this by getting a new sink or toilet and getting nice new cabinets. Updating your bathroom is one of the best ways to improve your home and it will also increase the net price on your house selling it on the market.
When working on a home improvement project, make sure to buy high quality materials. You can save money initially if you buy appliances or cabinets that have imperfections but using these materials could reduce the value of your residence. If you always purchase the best for your home, the results will be astonishing.
If your home improvement project involves moving appliances or other furniture in your house, make sure to put something down to protect your floors. Particularly if you have hardwood flooring, taking out large items can make a big mess and scratch up your flooring. Taking a few minutes to protect your floors can save you a lot of money in the long run.
You need to be informed with anything you attempt to accomplish in life, and this definitely holds true for home improvement. The last thing you need to do is to mess something up in your home. Pay attention to what you learned in this article and use these tips for your next improvement job.

The Midwest kicked my ass. That's the long and the short of it. I have been here almost 2 years and I am only just now beginning to feel "at home" in my house. I have tried to work as a basic employee for others, but that has never been something that brings me joy…and I guess I am a bit selfish that way, but I have rarely do something for more than a short time if it doesn't make me feel engaged and passionate.
So, I am in the process of recreating myself I guess. I tried to have my practice here, but it was so challenging. I still enjoy my online sessions, but believe it or not, my internet has been so out of whack here over the past 6 months that I can barely maintain a connection long enough to complete a full session! I have had the tech guys out to my home weekly…they have replaced the cable inside, the wires coming to my house, modem, etc. and I am still running at an average of 1 MBPS!
Seems like the universe has spoken to me, or at least putting road blocks in my path…so I have focused my energy in a different direction. I have ben cleansing, doing some light yoga, and trying to find outdoor spaces that lift my spirit. I was painting for awhile, but now I seem to be back on a writing kick again…not sure where it will take me, but I am just here for the ride. Curious to see the destination, but just going to focus on the present moment.
It sounds odd to admit it, but I am in the process of getting my real estate license! My father has been in the business in Canada for over 30 years. His life in realty is a whole different story…but I am making my own path. I don't like the world's perception of Realtors, but I figure that, if I can deal with the taboo topics connected with Tantra, sexuality, etc. I can handle a bit of misconceptions about the world of real estate.
Believe it or not, I am actually really excited. With my gypsy vibe, I am thinking of focusing on becoming a relocation specialist and I also want to focus on finding creative options so that people who are not ready for conventional financing are able to get into the market. In my housing market you can save substantially by owning your own home. I want to make that happen for people.
There have been a tonne of little changes and goins on, but I would say this is the biggest. My quaint little sanctuary is evolving into a place of business…who would have guessed? Not me 😉 If you have experienced a shift in your life, or have any words of wisdom, I am here!
With love,

Kiwi star Blair Tuke on trying to win the Race that 'pushes you like nothing else'.
When Blair Tuke looks back on his first crack at The Ocean Race, onboard MAPFRE, he describes it in two words: unfinished business.
His Spanish boat, led by Ocean Race veteran Xabi Fernández, came within minutes of winning the trophy for the first time in Spain's history heading into the final leg as one of three teams with a chance of victory, only to be beaten to the line by Dongfeng Race Team.
And, reflecting on the 2017-18 edition nearly a year down the line, Tuke pinpoints the Southern Ocean leg as a key turning point in his team's mission to win the trophy.
Racing between Auckland and Itajaí, MAPFRE's mainsail tore in half and they had to seek shelter and suspend racing at Cape Horn giving Tuke and co the unique tale of having rounded the Cape not once, not twice, but three times in just one leg!
"You do think back on the milestones like the Southern Ocean we had a hard time there, with many gear issues and the main splitting in two at Cape Horn, it was a tough experience," he explains.
"It was pretty disappointing for us in terms of the Race, and that leg really put us on the back foot. But you look back at those moments and realise how well you were bonded together, and we bounced back pretty well."
Indeed, MAPFRE kicked on from Brazil, and got right back into the running for the trophy winning the leg from Itajaí to Newport despite running out of food, and taking three podiums from the final four legs.
"Going into the race, you never know exactly how you're going to react when the pressure comes on and you're in difficult situations," he continues. "You don't get many more difficult situations than being in the Southern Ocean and dealing with conditions like there are down there.
"You learn a lot as a person, you learn a lot operating in a team environment, and seeing how each and everyone responds differently to that kind of pressure. I definitely feel like a much more well-rounded sailor and person after doing the Race."
The Ocean Race is known as one of sport's greatest endurance challenges with the world's best sailors pushing beyond limits through the most extreme conditions on the planet.
But what happens when the racing stops? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction and for many, the comedown from the race can be just as tough as the racing.
"It is tough to transition back to normality after the Race," admits MAPFRE's Kiwi star Blair Tuke. "You've missed out on a lot while you're away, and your body has gone through a lot mentally and physically.
"It takes a while to get back into a normal routine, and it's probably the best part of six months before you feel yourself again."
For Tuke and his long-time partner, Pete Burling it's been a busy few years. A 49er gold medal at Rio 2016 was followed by an historic America's Cup win with Emirates Team New Zealand in 2017 and set up the Kiwi sailor for a bid at winning The Ocean Race to complete the 'Triple Crown' before the age of 30.
So when the Race came to an end, he took the opportunity to head home for a breather before turning his attention to new projects, including the America's Cup, the A-Class Worlds and the Olympic 49er class.
But despite having a packed schedule, Tuke and Burling both admit that they're watching The Ocean Race progress closely and are keen to be on the start line in 2021.
"We both have an eye on the next race for sure," Tuke confirms. "When we finished the last edition, we had unfinished business after what was a brutal finish for both of us. We'd love to go back and try to win the Race, and if we could do that for a Kiwi team that'd be pretty awesome. There's a lot to get to that point, we've got a lot in front of us already and a lot on our plate, but that's definitely the goal."
The Ocean Race is all new a new name, new logo and new boats. But, Tuke says, the spirit of the Race, and the attraction of racing around the world remains the same.
"The Race has changed over the years but what hasn't changed is that you're still racing around the world, and you've still got to do it out there in nature, in the elements. That'll never change.
"You'll always be pushed, no matter what boat you're racing on, or how many boats are racing against you. It's a combination of adventure and competition and I think these new boats in the IMOCA 60 class are going to be a bit more technology-focused and you're going to have to push harder to try and have a fast boat, but you're still out there, trying to get from A to B faster than someone else. It's going to be an awesome race."
With super-fast, foiling IMOCA 60 boats, the Race is certainly going to be a spectacle but there will be less space onboard, and it will be much more demanding of the sailors. Tuke believes that places a lot more emphasis on boat development.
"I don't think you can push much harder than we pushed last time in the Race there isn't much more you can do physically as a human but there will be bigger speed differences next time, so there's more onus on having a fast boat at the start of the Race," he says.
"With less people onboard you're going to need more well-rounded sailors. Every person onboard is going to have to be able to do the majority of roles, you're probably not going to have specific people, such as a bowman or a helmsman."
Kiwi favourite Bianca Cook and Race veteran Tony Rae have already announced a NZ campaign in the VO65 class but Tuke is keen to see New Zealand represented in both classes in 2021.
"It'd be great to have two Kiwi entries in the Race," he admits. "New Zealand has an amazing history in The Ocean Race, and it's something you always follow when you're growing up, and having that stopover in Auckland really lights up the city. I think all sailors and shore crews enjoy visiting New Zealand, it's one of the best stopovers."
He adds: "All Kiwis, whether they're America's Cup or Olympic sailing fans, know about The Ocean Race it pushes you like nothing else."

Reality Check: Can Canada pass on the F-35s with no impact? – National
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau says a Liberal government will cancel the planned purchase of the controversial F-35 fighter jets and instead invest that money in the Navy.
He said over the weekend that there would be no penalty for not buying the F-35s, and maintained on Monday that Canada is under no obligation to do so.
"There is no contract right now for the F-35s," Trudeau said. "We were part of the international community contributing to the development of it and got jobs through it, but we were never obliged to actually purchase the F-35s."
But is that correct? Yes and no.
Canadians companies wouldn't lose current projects, but they wouldn't be able to bid on huge amounts of future opportunities.
Canada is part of an international group that's building a slate of F-35 fighter jets. As part of that coalition, Canadian companies are able to bid on, and have received, hundreds of millions in contracts. In a 2014 report, Canadian companies have received $637 million so far.
WATCH: Justin Trudeau was asked Monday to explain how Canada could pull out of a deal to purchase new F35 combat fighters without penalty
Story continues below

And they could win at least $10.6 billion over the next 25-40 years – if Canada buys the jets. If the government chooses to withdraw from the program, they would lose out on those contracts.
"If we withdraw from that program then Canadian companies would no longer be eligible for that work," Dave Perry, a senior analyst at the Global Public Affairs Institute, said in an interview Monday.
But if Canada buys a different plane instead, that loss could be offset.
"If you went another route and acquired a different aircraft using the traditional model using a dollar-for-dollar offset, you could guarantee a potentially higher dollar-value worth of work that would accrue from whatever Canadian industry would do in support of those acquisitions," Perry said.
Canada's defence procurement rules force foreign companies to invest 100 per cent of the contract's value in Canada, Michael Byers, a Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at the University of British Columbia said during an interview.

So if a foreign company wins the contract, that money is still getting to Canada.
"So put it head to head, the benefits that the Harper government says it's going to get from the F-35 in terms of industrial development, versus the industrial regional benefits, the normal system, out of competition, and I suspect they're pretty even," Byers said. "They'll come to Canada, those $10 billion regardless of which plane is chosen."
Montreal, which includes Trudeau's riding of Papineau, would be among the cities most affected by the government not buying the F-35s.
Conservative leader Stephen Harper, whose government initially pledged to buy 65 F-35s before backing out in favour of a review, didn't hold back when criticizing Trudeau for his announcement, saying Trudeau's plan would lead to lost business and shows a "profound lack of understanding in the Canadian economy."
"The Liberal Party is living in a dream world if they think we could pull out of the development project of the F-35 and not lose business. I don't know what planet they're living on," Harper told reporters while taking questions in St. Jacob's, Ontario, Monday morning.
"This is incredible the Liberal Party says they want to create jobs, build our manufacturing sector. The single, biggest, direct thing the government of Canada does in the manufacturing sector we do is government procurement, and particularly we do defence procurement."

NDP leader Tom Mulcair too was critical of the Liberal leader saying his announcement was "one of the more surprising things that I've heard Mr. Trudeau say."
"When he says things like that, he's just showing his total lack of experience. That's just not the way these things work," Mulcair said. He did not, however, say whether the NDP would go ahead with buying the F-35s.
And Byers echoed Mulcair saying writing off one plane for political purposes is a bad decision, suggesting instead Lougheed-Martin, the maker of the F-35, should be able to compete in an open bidding process.
"I think that Justin Trudeau has made a mistake here, I think the next government, or the Harper government… shouldn't rule out any one plane based on its own political assessment," Byers said.

I'd been running by the Showboat Majestic for years. Even long before those days of jogging along the riverfront, I'd noticed it. Despite all I had learned (and written) about Cincinnati history over the years, though, I never knew the boat was a floating theater until after the last curtain had been drawn.
Cincinnati is a city with a proud riverboat history—a place that idolizes that heritage at times. Tall Stacks came and went, along with several other paddle wheel-backed restaurants, but riverboat excursions and water taxis still operate between the Ohio and Kentucky riverfronts. There's no denying that riverboats and their history are intrinsically linked with Cincinnati's identity.
The Showboat wasn't a steamship, though. In fact, it's not necessarily a "ship" at all. It has no motor, no means of locomotion. An external means of conveyance, the towboat named Attaboy, once pushed it up and down American rivers. Since 1967, though, the floating theater was permanently moored on Cincinnati's Public Landing.
SHOWBOATS (1800s-1920s)
Showboats were a tradition that can be traced back to 1816, when a cargo-carrying keelboat was repurposed as a means of transportation for a traveling theater troupe. The Floating Theatre was the first purpose-built showboat. Launching out of Pittsburgh in 1831, she kicked off a trend of vessels equipped with theaters that brought entertainment to communities scattered along the banks of rivers in the American frontier.
"Showboating" took a pause during the Civil War as the Union Navy sought to secure essential supply routes, but the tradition continued and expanded after the Confederacy's surrender. Boats like the New Sensation, Goldenrod, Water Queen, and Princess proliferated a type of theater unique to American culture.
As the nation grew and the continent became connected, technology evolved and the showboat tradition began to diminish. Still, Captain Tom Reynolds (allegedly hailing from a showboat family himself) sought to ply the trade. The last ship he'd construct, the Majestic, launched from Pittsburgh in 1923. For years, Captain Reynolds lived on the boat with his family and used Attaboy to pilot the floating theater up and down Midwestern rivers. Often, he'd pull into a port and stay for a while when academic partnerships brought university students on board to perform.
THE MAJESTIC (1950s-2000s)
By 1959, Reynolds sold the ship to Indiana University. Although the school regularly used the historic vessel as a venue for productions, Captain Tom still maintained the boat. In December of that year, he was killed after being thrown from the tow ship Attaboy. It's suspected that the boat's engine "kicked."
The United States Coast Guard would go on to usher in new regulations concerning wooden vessels. Majestic was pulled into dry dock and refitted with a steel hull. At the time, Indiana University also sought to sell the vessel. The City of Cincinnati outbid Louisville for the chance to place the boat on their riverfront.
Before stadiums and sprawling parks lined the riverbanks, the Showboat Majestic sat beneath a bridge off the shores of Cincinnati. A dedicated base of subscribers regularly patronized the floating theater to see productions put on by students from the University of Cincinnati. After the partnership with UC ended in 1988, a nonprofit known as Cincinnati Landmark Productions began producing shows on the boat. From 1991 to 2013, the company (who today operates the Covedale Center for the Performing Arts, Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre, and Cincinnati Young People's Theatre) operated the boat's 221-seat venue.
After they left, the City of Cincinnati began looking for a buyer.
Six years later, the city found one. A couple from Adams County, who had a reputation for preserving river history, purchased the ship for $110,000. They moved it in April of 2019 to a spot just west of Manchester. They hope to develop the boat into an upriver tourist and entertainment attraction and are currently working out plans to include crowdfunding a renovation.
After 52 years on the Cincinnati riverfront, the Showboat Majestic departed, but its legacy will float on.
