Knowing that each day could, and in all probability, will be his last, the soldier's thought process becomes distorted and his animalistic instincts take over and allow for total abandonment of inhibitions. These soldiers answered the nation's call and they paid the price for the freedoms we as a nation hold dear.

These men suffer from PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and this is their story.

Book excerpt: Chuck Pagano, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, has become one of the most inspiring, intriguing personalities in the game of football. Only three games into his rookie season in 2012, Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia, sidelined by the side effects chemotherapy and months of recovery. Undeterred, Pagano didn’t let the confines of his hospital bed keep him from coaching: texts, calls, and emails kept him in constant contact with players, staff, and assistants. Motivated to be just as strong and determined as their ailing coach the team started winning game after game, compiling an impressive 11-5 record. The players weren’t the only ones touched by Pagano’s hope and strength of character. Inspired by the tenacity and toughness of their beloved coach, a newcomer to town, thousands of fans united to form Chuckstrong, a movement that soon raised millions to help beat cancer. Pagano, fueled by his faith, his family, and his love of football, returned to lead the Colts to another winning season and the divisional playoffs in 2013. With Pagano’s practical lessons on living, loving, and leading, Sidelined, which includes an 8-page color photo section, inspires us all to stay in the game and never accept defeat.

Book excerpt: Tension[s] 2020Tamworth Textile Triennial, Curator Vic McEwan.Performance, Interaction and Material Futures20/20 Vision is the standard notation used to indicate perfect vision. It bases its declaration of 'perfect' on only one thing: sharpness of vision when standing approximately six metres from an eye chart. Meanwhile, other worthwhile attributes are ignored - such as peripheral awareness, eye coordination, depth perception, focusing ability and colour vision.The saying 'hindsight is 20/20' suggests that the distance afforded by time enables us to better understand the past and that, by extension, hindsight might assist us to make better decisions about our future. But does this reflection take into consideration the diversity of perspectives required to really learn from the past?If there is one thing that hindsight has taught us, it is the danger of drawing meaning from only one perspective.Tension(s) 2020 acknowledges that the world has long been a place under various tension(s), both harmonious and dissonant. In order to bear witness to, contribute to and respond to these tensions, the triennial will focus on the future of people and place through textile as a material and human experience as materiality. By exploring other perspectives through the metaphor of tension, we ask:How could textiles consider people and place in developing new installation ideas?How might textiles collaborate with other interactive mediums to offer new perspectives?How can we articulate complex narratives through engaging textiles in performance?I hope that, through Tension(s) 2020, the materiality of our combined working practices and perspectives can be realised beyond the scope of a rather parochial, one-dimensional, 20/20 view.2020 Artists and Arts OrganisationsSoraya Abidin NSWMark SmithArts Project Australia VICDel StewartAustralian Tapestry Workshop VICGillian Bencke NSWJulie Briggs and Kelly Leonard NSW Armando Chant NSWGeorgia Chapman VICLinda Erceg TAS Anne Ferran VICDianne Firth ACTSai-Wai Foo VICTina Fox NSWErica Gray QLDGarth Knight NSWElisa Markes-Young WAJulie Montgarrett NSWDeborah Prior SAMargarita Sampson NSWJane Theau NSWTjanpi Desert Weavers WA, NTYinarr Maramali NSW

In his groundbreaking books, Hug Your Customers—a Wall Street Journal bestseller—and Hug Your People, Jack Mitchell brought a warm human touch to the often-cold, bottom-line world of business. As the CEO of Mitchell’s clothing stores, one of the most successful small businesses in the country, he noticed that customer service and satisfaction get a lot of lip service—but not enough hugs. When you focus on the emotional connection as well as the intellectual aspect of a sale, you form strong lasting relationships that keep your customers returning, sales rising, and business booming. You don’t have to hug your customers literally, of course. Mitchell’s personal approach to customer service involves a simple 5-stage process that anyone can master: 1st Stage: Making the ConnectionLearn how to make a great first impression that engages customers immediately—and keeps them coming back again and again. 2nd Stage: Decoding the MissionLook for easy-to-read tells to determine what each customer wants—and what you need to do to make him or her happy. 3rd Stage: Show and ShareInstead of a hard sales pitch, engage your customer in a genuine one-on-one conversation and form a personal connection to you and your product. 4th Stage: Allowing the BuyAdopt a warm, relaxed manner to gradually establish trust, gently convince the customer—and ultimately close the deal. 5th Stage: The Kiss GoodbyeJust as important as first impressions, make a strong lasting impression that makes each customer feel valued, special, and delighted. The Extra Stage: One for Good MeasureTake that extra step to follow up on your customers, build on your connections, and make them your customers for life. These winning sales strategies will help you adjust your mindset, refine your selling style, and embrace the joy and value of caring for your customers. Mitchell’s tried-and-true techniques make it easy to size up your customer quickly and customize your approach perfectly to suit each individual and situation. You’ll learn how to be a better listener so you can anticipate your customer’s every need. You’ll discover the power of positive, passionate words to establish a warm personal connection. Most importantly, you’ll be able to close the deal and make that sale in a relaxed friendly manner that people will love. It’s a win-win-win for you, your customers, and your business. It’s Selling the Hug Your Customers Way.
