Let me see New day to see God bless you a bless y'all bless you I show appreciation. Let me see something We're gonna get on started I come in here y'all got questions already we just Got on here Praise the Lord. Look here now Sarah God bless you high Tony tips for dating active duty military. I have a son and Concerned about moving him around a lot active duty military Sarah, I'm not a hundred percent sure if you mean you are active duty military or if You're dating someone that's an active duty military, but what I will say is If you have a choice on whether you move or not then your son comes first You definitely don't want to be moving your son around for a man. Now if it's your job Then that's different, but you don't want to be moving your son around for a man Unless it's your husband So understand that right there. I'm not a hundred cent sure which way your question was asking though But I believe we might have military coaches on my mentor dot life Jade I'm 41 is a grown man in my age group really going to wait until marriage to be intimate It's fast-paced here in NYC. Won't he get get it somewhere else? Even if he does end up marrying me You can't worry about all that. All you got to worry about is is he waiting for you? Because he could be waiting on you, but if you telling yourself he's gonna get it from somewhere else You could be lying to yourself and you could sabotage the relationship because he could actually be waiting for you And I know a lot of times people don't think that's real a lot of time people don't think a man will wait, but that's typically women who think that and it's men who Don't want a woman to know that that's a possibility of him waiting So a man will try to make it seem like it's absolutely no possibility. He will wait longer than x amount of time to be with a woman intimately, but a man will wait until The cows come home from the moon if you are the woman for him And it don't matter if he's in his 40s. It don't matter if he in his 90s It don't matter if he in his 10s his 20s if you are the woman for him He will wait the man that don't want to wait. That's not your man. And that's what you got to understand These compilation God bless you now bless you Hi Tony, thank you for your advice and help from my appointment with you a few weeks ago It was confirmation to be more confident and active and figuring out what my purpose is this is Danieline and Are there any public speaking coaches on my mentor doc life public speaking coaches? I don't know now that might be a good one now now. I'm a public speaker So I'm I could be a public speaking coach, but Most it's a lot of coaches on there that are public speakers So I don't know if that's the actual they will have it in their options, but If you see speaker in their bio Which most coaches end up being speakers then they could help you with it elegant by nature Tony what a blessing I Tony what does it mean when a husband says to his wife? I wish you loved me less and didn't put me on a pedestal. I feel guilty Well, it depends by man because that's just not like a statement that is across the board and so It really could mean anything you got a it means one thing if he has cheated on you or you've caught him cheating or he's done something like that and it means something totally different if He just doesn't feel worthy of that type of love because he's humbled by your love. So It could just him being humble But to be honest with you what it sounds like and I don't want to speculate Because it could mean anything so it really comes down to you knowing him and I Men honestly Say things sometimes just for a conversation piece, but it doesn't actually mean anything So you can't really take everything a man says so seriously because sometimes we just talk in You know, sometimes me and just say stuff just the oh You mean girl you so mean and and women y'all actually will come and book a session and Pay that money for the session. So yeah, we were on a date and he said you're so mean and that just really hurt me because I've been working on my Personality and my attitude and I'm just wondering what did he mean by that? Does that mean it's over and I'm like Really he just socially awkward and not really used to talking to women and he just was talking Like point blank period. You said I mean sometimes y'all got to realize men just be saying stuff But when you see that action if you catch them cheating emotionally physically now, that's what he mean He a dog and he don't deserve you Larry God bless you now now I miss some somebody question up down What do you think about a 40 year old man and a 23 year old woman being in a relationship together Do you think it could work? Um, no, I don't think it could work and I don't think it could work and But elegant by nature. Oh, she said to you. I don't think it could work, but I'm just one person see what what I realized about a man is Me and we really a man who is a grown man really don't want a woman half his age You know me being 36 that would be like me being with a woman that's 18 You know You ain't all the way half his age. So let's say 21. That's nasty. That's nasty because that's a little girl Like I'm seeing her like a little sister like oh It's like I got to help raise her. It's coming up girl. Let me blow your nose. All right close your eyes. Okay blow hard You know what I mean? You got the raise.   Oh Your uncle's auntie. Hey, where you back my classmate at? Hey, what's all about these?  Yeah, that's oh, there's a boyfriend You said I'm saying so you have to really look at this thing and be realistic It's too many men out here for you to be given a 40 year old man his fantasy he got a he own only fan he own only fan because He is too old to want a woman half his age He looking to get his groove back. He nasty He's nasty. I'm just tell you I'm just telling you that's just nasty too young As my real done. All right. It's my real though. Okay, I don't read all right. Oh, they deleted your question It's my real I see you right here though What are the signs of a toxic relationship and can it be fixed if it's toxic? And I see this I'll tell you this if you got to ask is toxic one blame period When you get in this relationship if you got to wonder it's toxic One blame period because what you have to understand about love is love is or love isn't Love can't be confused. You could be deaf. You could be blind You could be a mute you could be armless Legless you could have You could be in a childlike state of mind You cannot confuse real love You can't confuse real love. So understand that when you got to ask It ain't love Because love it's gonna wash you.  My wife just bought us a new couch my wife's bought a new couch and The couch kind of it's a little long So I could sit on this end end of the couch right here scratch my feet out She sit on that end of the couch She scratch her feet out and we just sit there and just look each other and just talk for an hour I don't have and I look forward to that now We ain't had a couch about a week and I just be weighed I just look forward to just get on that couch and just talk to my wife about whatever Because I'm in love So I'm always looking forward to a moment to an opportunity to talk to her Even if we finna disagree on sports or we finna disagree by schoolwork or something I'm just looking for that moment to have that disagreement Because it's love and that's what y'all have to realize by love.  I don't wear hair extensions I don't wear makeup and I don't wear artificial nails. I love my natural beauty What do men think of this? Men absolutely love that now men absolutely love that but now listen now Now listen, okay You can wait it on hell But you need to have some mayonnaise some mayonnaise and some berries in there.

I'ma say it's up to her 90% to 99% would say No But see men deal with it because that's the trend. So we Lashes that's the trend. So milk men gonna deal with you know, what they could deal with Men gonna, you know deal with what they got to deal with but if men had a choice They were much rather a woman enhance her natural beauty because that's what we got to do That's what we got to do. We I ain't I don't get wet on makeup. I don't get to put no lashes on I don't get to put no nails on so you got to see me with bad nails bad skin and raggedy lashes mission lashes So a lot of time a man want to be able to see a woman in her natural essence so he could know am I gonna lay down with Janet Jackson and wake up with Freddie Jackson or Is my land down with Janet and waking up with Janet?

We work together same age range flirty, but polite Mentioned I will ask you something at the right time Got jealous today Asking how was my date with my date?  Is there such a thing as a modest man You have married men approaching single women. So if a single man doesn't approach you Doesn't approach. Are you simply not his type? Yeah, there is such thing as a modest man and The thing about it is Single men is kind of it's a little tougher because a man kind of always talking to somebody and so Sometimes it's not that you're not his type is that he's just torn between the person he's talking to and If he should approach someone new and add another person to the roster when he kind of liking The woman he's talking to so and the other thing is that a lot of men are introverts and a lot of them and almost every man fears rejection and so Sometimes it takes a man seeing a woman two or three times and really the third time is really the charm when He can build up the courage Because a lot of times a guy see a woman he like he might just stare Because he afraid to get cursed out He afraid she's already taken because if he like her, he know another man like her So he worried about all that stuff and it may take that third time So it depends on where you see a guy and if you see him at somewhere that you frequent and that he may be frequent W a If you shot your shot at A guy years ago, but he didn't pursue you so you let it go But now he DMs you every now and then complimenting you and striking up combo. What is his motive? Should I ignore it?

That's a strong assertion. Now, that's a assumption. I mean Offer off of that.

Yeah, you know christian. See yeah, you know christian.   And you said that women need to stop telling all of their business true guilty how to go about when Ready having meaningful conversations while dating Without divulging all but also remaining true to being transparent Well, see the thing about it when I what I say telling all your business. I mean telling business that he didn't tell So If he tell you He raised with his mom and daddy then you say you read who you was raised with he tell you when he went to school You say where you went to school? He say where he went to college You say where you went to college he tell you what he worked at you tell him where you work at You see what I mean what a lot of time women do is just He he get a little bit of question in Say one little thing didn't want me to take off and just go to talk Tell her whole life story all she know about him and his first name john His first name john and he liked the ultimate feast At his red loft the way they haven't done that by the end of the night He know her middle name where she lived at her classmate middle name her mama middle name Her hopes her dreams her fears her worries what her ex-boyfriend did what her ex-husband did He know all of her business and so now he know how to play on him and all she know is his name john Like long john silver, but he liked the ultimate feast at red lobster.

Khadija Husband says he's changed but still locks phone. I feel like he's shown his hand So he pushed me to show him mine Now his feelings are hurt, but why? Husband Khadija Um You're gonna need coaching on that one. You're gonna need coaching. That's a little deeper Then what we could go into here It's a lot of caveats and nuances when it comes to marriage And when it comes to situation like that But one thing I can say is when a man got his phone lock see my phone lock So sometimes the phone ain't locked for you Now if you don't know the code to it now, it's locked for you and he got something to hide And a man should never have anything to hide in his marriage L Renee god bless you now Hi, Tony, how do I guard my heart or remain mysterious in dating if I share my life with the world? Per se through my writing speaking and social media as it is part of my purpose um Well, when you share your your story and it's part of your purpose You remain a mysterious Is keeping that treasure box closed So when your mouth open meaning you talking and you telling your business your legs got to be closed See when your legs see the real mystery that the man won't Twin your leg. Okay So really what you're saying If you're talking to him that let that just let him know what kind of games he think he want to play But when he come and try to play those games and he realized that those games ain't working Now you still mysterious now you still guarded because you let him show you who he is But see what happened is Is y'all go to getting feeling too good And you get on your bike and when you get on your bike That's when you lose your mystery That's when you lose the mysteriousness Okay, I'm gonna answer a question in the chat right here that just happened to be right here Hey, Tony, I see that there's a man in church scoping me out. I'm a new member How long does it take for a man in church to approach me? Yes, he is he's single. Is it different because of the setting? It could be different because of the setting and he could be watching you and battling with the lord just to make sure his heart is right and make sure he in the right place before he approached you and On average, it's going to be about a month and at the most three months Well, man got to watch you Um destiny god bless you now Marsha I'm in a five-year situation.

She even stabbed me in a vision. What does this mean? What to do?  Okay Got 17 years old and now you need coaching You're gonna have to need some coaching where you could talk this thing through because because that's old time It's a soul tie You could start with the soul tie course first and you're gonna realize a lot about what you're dealing with With them soul ties on tony gaskins academy after that you still don't feel all the way right You need to talk to a profession where you could lay everything out because What you touching on is is is deep, you know and you need to be able to talk through it so you could break that bondage On drip off there's a high tone and what advice do you have for someone weary of dating grown boys? In the 50 plus age group. I want to see if i'm on the right track At the bottom line at the end of the day keep your legs closed See if if if y'all let's close That cancel everything if your legs close and your wallet close Everything a man can only do but so much if your legs close and your wallet close A man can only do but so much to you. He can't game you.   I laugh. I work in a male industry They they're not intimidated by you. They're not intimidated by you Um, it might seem that way, but they could just not be attracted to you But that don't mean that they're they're intimidated by you men. Honestly, not really intimidated by women A man can feel inadequate or like he's not on a woman's level, but it's not the same as being intimidated Uh, breathe white All right, y'all no more question now.  Is that wrong? They were in the wrong and not sorry Bri, I got a video on here about toxic family. So look that up It's a um, it's a toxic family. That's her toxic family Tony Gaskins But you're not wrong. Go on move on When a woman stays calm and collected and walks away, why does it upset some men? Do they expect us to cry and throw things? Absolutely Absolutely when you keep your power and you emotionally intelligent That's what throw a man off because he wants control and he lose control in that moment No, lol apologies because I sent the question without the super chat No contact with ex in four months, but tempted to call Oh, okay. Okay. Yuck. I won't keep your business I won't keep your business Um, I think of you and missy reed being apart for six months and getting back together Could he and I have a similar fate? Yes, you could but the difference with my wife and I is she wasn't waiting on me She wasn't thinking about me. She moved on. She was in another relationship She had got back with her ex they were together for two months Then after that she still was dating and we just so happened to bump back into each other But we had no intention to come back. I wasn't waiting on her. I wasn't thinking about her It just was God's doing It was bigger than us. Neither one of us saw it coming. So that's the difference Is I wasn't thinking about her. I wasn't chasing her. She wasn't thinking about me She wasn't chasing me, you know ego was in there in a way And um All of that. Hey, no more question now. No more question. Let me wrap on up Boy, y'all got me tired tonight. I don't know I'm in here broke a sweat Baby, you got a album I'm helping like me shat shat back in a bin to go I could be this light in my face But listen, we're gonna wrap up I thank y'all so much for being here tonight. Thank you for everybody that sent a blessing, you know, I come on here to do Free Q&A But when I come over here on here, I'm overwhelmed with The questions and the blessing that y'all seeing And I can't ignore But the goal of this is so I can answer, you know, just answer questions But y'all be sending them blessing And I appreciate it and it's always just overwhelming So forgive me if I miss your question. I try to get to the question I try to answer all I can only have but so much time If my phone had battery, I'd probably do a All 24 hours one day or three four hours, you know But my phone, you know, it ain't gonna last that long But listen to me as I'm looking at the questions tonight what I'm noticing Is a lot of times y'all questioning yourself And what you have to remember is that love is or it isn't There is no in between love There is no Little bit of love no thin love love is or it isn't And so If you have to wonder And the person you're with is not convincing you and showing you That he or she loves you Then in that moment in that season there is no love And you got to look within right there. You got to look a little deeper right there And you have to be able to see that there is no love And you got to be willing to walk away Because what's happening is is you get a little bit of love You get a little bit of love and then you stay You get a little bit of laughter So you'll have a day of laughter and then you'll have a six then you have six days of arguing And that next day of laughter that'll buy you another Month of being in that relationship.    It's really it's an accident It's really something to where it happened because you're human It's not something that's intentional Where somebody is trying to hurt you somebody trying to push your buttons Somebody trying to drain you trying to get under your skin trying to manipulate and control you That's not how love operates see love wants to be smooth Love wants to be pure love don't want riffs Love don't want fussing and fighting and arguing if you in a situation y'all arguing every other day Y'all arguing every week It's it i'm going on 14 years of marriage And it's hard for me to tell you when the last time me and my wife argued Because it's not a part of a part of love. We have disagreements But the disagreement don't turn into yelling and screaming and arguing and going to bed mad The the last real argument it probably was Nine years ago because when you go into love you want peace You want clarity you want understanding you want compassion See you want things to be pure you want things to be smooth and your disagreements It might be like do we really need this dining table? Why we got to get that kind of dining table? But do we need that over that that little tchotchky? You said I mean you had disagreements about stuff to where it's just a disagreement or taste Oh, we got to have baked beans tonight. Now, you know what the baked bean do to my stomach? What's wrong with french fries?  You said I mean your disagreements be like that when you in love I'm telling the honest god true. I'm telling the honest god true It ain't no knock down drag out screaming yelling cussing fussing fighting My wife got all my codes to my phone. She got all my passwords. I got all her codes I got all her password ain't nothing hidden. She said hey, can you get my phone for me? I could pick up on up. I can get my few scrolls Ain't gonna find me nothing.  She come here. She know the password to my computer. Ain't no nasty sites popping up She got my phone. She on my phone. Let me let me hold you phone. I need to check some of the notes She need to look at my notes to see how much she get paid today And she she in my notes seeing what her pay is today And ain't ain't no text message got to pop up ain't nothing. Let me tell you what somebody did Tell you what somebody did somebody think they slid That somebody who got my phone number Gonna text me Oh, I'm coming down the floor And I just need that f Can you come at f me? I'm just I'm feeling stressed and I just want to f I look at the tip I said baby look at this Baby look at this look at what a fool doesn't Look what somebody doesn't Thinking that they finna catch me up like i'm cheating with somebody and that my wife gonna see this And it's gonna start an argument. She gonna think i'm cheating.  No, we did. No, we did the the number one in my phone. No, we did swipe Uh info block Contact delete the message Come on now Come on now. You can't you can't trip. You can't trip. No real love up You can't not see if you want real love. Oh, who texted you? Oh, that's your other woman My wife ain't think twice about that.  She know he ain't got nothing to hide So she knows she ain't got the work. I was just in the cabin. I was in the cabin My wife was was in the bed sleep before we even get done with our business meeting at the cabin It was me and my mentee's working on a new company Oh, I'm in the cab. My wife ain't calling me.  Hey, go back. Go back. Let me see Wait, who that is? That's how you was on FaceTime Because that's not law That's not law I was talking to my mentee. I say man one thing tripped me out about my wife I could be up here in the cabin. I could be on flu one of the city girls in And they could be up there with that thing talking english spanish jamaican french I can have me one of them city girls and flew then But my wife is asleep All right, bro. I'm trying to call her.   Just gather myself She'll fall asleep on top of her phone She'll fall asleep on top of her phone phoning on the charger Ain't nothing set And a long remain set and she just be tired And so here I am on the road And well a lot of women calling a man blowing their phone up because they think they cheated If you got to go through all that in love you got to address their relationship You got to check that relationship you got to look deep into that relationship And what you're going to realize is that what you call in love ain't love So understand that right there Look at the sign this ain't rocket science This ain't rocket science to be honest with you. We shouldn't need relationship cultures We're saying you need relationship culture because love is or it ain't It is or it ain't For those y'all speak properly it is or it isn't Okay Love is or it isn't which I shouldn't I should not have a job I shouldn't have no job But when I started teaching on love relationships when I was 22 years old when I changed my life and I got in a relationship with my wife And I started teaching on love relationship trying to get a game away at 22 years old before it was popular Before anybody else was doing it before there was books on it before it was youtube before it was twitter We even had twitter I got on twitter 2009. I was teaching on love relationship 22 years old wrote a book on it and were passing the book out at the mall pat This was 2007 I've been teaching on love relationship And when I saw that it was women in their 40s and their 50s Coming to ask me questions about love and relationship. I say, okay, something going on It ain't enough fathers talking to their daughters And so I say, you know what? I got to do it But we should not need relationship coaching because love is or it isn't So when you look at your situation and you break it down and you make it plain and you keep it simple You're gonna realize that it is or it isn't Hey God bless y'all now. We passed the question part. Um, roxy. God bless you. Gabbana gg God bless y'all We passed the question part. So y'all y'all miss it tonight now um But I don't because I don't want to open back up. So don't y'all send no more questions I think gg y'all came in after Probably because more moderators you can't see more moderators on here To tell y'all no more questions no more questions now But let y'all let me answer um gg And uh, the other young lady question real quick because They'll be Hold on right quick. Let me if I put this super chat back on it probably will show me Because they'll be on the phone with the bank. Uh, yeah Yeah, that was a fraudulent charge a google When you think I'm paying google, I don't know about no google Uh, man, so, uh, you didn't send 499 to a youtuber and you don't Tony asking Absolutely not Tony who? So let me answer these two questions for they'd be on the phone getting charge bikes tomorrow Now don't y'all be calling ask me charge bikes now because you're gonna you're gonna Because you're gonna deal with me you have to deal with google because I won't know the difference But I don't want you to mess up your blessings on the phone line to the bank God got deployed talk before he went away We both agree it wouldn't be fair to date He loves my pics and sends a few messages focus on school gg keep doing what you're doing Gabbana bless you to the new members that's joined the blessed trod god bless you now Uh Lady a bless you now y'all I Y'all ain't got cinema blessing nine What if I would say your cup would be running over? I told y'all nothing. You ain't got to send no more blessing nine Hey, Tony, I'm currently on a journey to self love and have been building A better relationship with god What should you feel when should you feel that you're holy enough to date? When you feel like you can love as if you've never been hurt before That's when you hold enough to date when you have uncertainty when you have too much doubt You have too much fear Because you don't have the knowledge that you need And you haven't done the healing that you need to do You're not gonna want to be in the dating field. So if you got to go into the dating field scare It's too early Keep getting the the knowledge keep reading the book keep watching the videos keep taking the courses And as you do that and you working on you that knowledge builds confidence And then that confidence will assure you that you can go into the dating field and you can recognize the red flag when you see him Hey god bless y'all we went 19 minutes over the night. I told my wife. I was gonna be on here hour So I got to go in here and apologize and make up because I'm in done told a lie God bless you and to the moderators. I really appreciate y'all for helping me tonight to all the moderators um, you know caramel kisses and uh glam rocks and um mama tish and share and um We got one other one The name slipping me right now Slipping me but I see y'all moderators. I really appreciate y'all god bless you and uh nine tonight nine I'm gonna here apologize to my wife and it was one It's only one person that sent a blessing in to say this for your wife So now I'm man of integrity and that was 499. So I'm gonna get that to her But as I told y'all I don't like y'all sending my blessing with my wife name on it But god bless you. We'll talk soon

Thanks for having me here and I'm very, very glad to follow this presentation by Nathan because what I will tell you about is also about a project that was a sprint. It happened in one week in five days. It happened a bit less than two months ago and it was a workshop that I directed. Just a little word maybe about me. I'm an artist and designer mostly and I did this little thing that some of you have seen. And so this workshop was about producing, designing a specimen book with Libre open source fonts. So what is a specimen book and why do we need a specimen book? If you design a project with type, be it a book or a magazine or nowadays a website even, one of the really first steps you have to attack is to find the good fonts that will match the content and that will work. And this is an important step and it can take really a lot of time because there are really many good fonts that you may want to use. And it's a very psychological, personal and sensitive thing to find the appropriate font for a certain text, for a certain story or narration. It's not just about beautiful letter shapes. Actually when you read a story or an article or an interview, you don't want to see beautiful letters, but you want to go into the text. So the font has to become transparent. It has to become invisible actually. So it will be very dependent of the subject, of the language also, the texture of type changes with different languages. It can have a kind of temperature. A font can be sharp or thick or fast or slow. And so for that, already centuries ago, since we have type, producers of typefaces have done specimen sheets. Here is a very old example by the great William Caslin. And we can see here are patterns that we use still nowadays. It's a specimen sheet nowadays on Google web fonts. Looks very, very similar to this. You have different weights, you have the short paragraphs, different sizes, showcasing all the different cuts. There is some sample text, which should not be too distracting. So here it is in Latin. And here is a bit of a closer look. So in a very small space, the type designer, the type producer wants to show you everything that font can do. And also, since he is a font producer, he wants to sell the fonts. So there are kind of conflicting interests sometimes with those specimens. This is a very well-known book by typographers during the last decades. The great font book by FontFont, which has hundreds and hundreds of fonts over those pages. And each font has a few lines showcasing the letters, the glyphs, has short paragraphs of four lines, which is actually very little to judge how the font will render on the whole page of the book. So for me, this was always very frustrating. It was a bit like if you would be a musician and try to select a sound from a sound library, but you have to listen to 20 sounds at the same time, which makes it very hard to concentrate. For a strange reason, they stopped producing the book recently. Apparently, print is too expensive. They made an iPad app, so you cannot actually test those fonts even on paper, which for me, when you make a paper project, is essential because it works completely different than on screen. There is an interesting other currently existing font specimen collection, the Free Font Index by Hans-Lee Klemmer, which gathers lots of free fonts, but doesn't make a distinction between free and libre, which is an important point, of course. And it also puts many, many fonts on a limited number of pages, which is not always that useful. And it juxtaposes fonts that may not match entirely in terms of style. So I think those books are useful. They show you many different fonts, but they have some unpractical points, like too little space for a font, always the same sentence repeating all the time, so it starts to be quite annoying and distracting at some point. The Quick Brown Fox jumps over Lazy Dogs by Box-Kempfer, Jagen, Eva-Queer, Durchsild, and some Loram Epsum. And then another category that appeared recently is Print on Demand Books, made by independent type producers. Vernon, did you do something like that? Or did you have something like that in mind at some point? Yeah? So those aren't free fonts, they are commercial proprietary fonts, but this one is made by Radim Peshko, a young check designer. And another one is made by Jean-Baptiste Levé, a famous French type designer. And we can see that they have one thing in common, they love to show the fonts very, very big, so you can appreciate the beauty of the curves and of the glyphs, which is, of course, very nice and impressive. But for many use cases, like doing books or magazines, it's actually really not useful. And you have much too little paragraph-sized text, too much big type. And so the really logical thing to do if you work with Libre fonts is that you do your own specimen book. There are lots of open source fonts. You have Print on Demand technology, so just do it. This would be, of course, extremely expensive if you would want to make your own printed specimen book with commercial fonts. You would have to be really rich, but now today it is possible to do. So I had that idea in mind like one year ago, and it was also clear to me that this has to be a collaborative project, not one person sitting for months doing it, but rather a book sprint, like a group of five, ten people gathering and doing it. So I started to pitch a bit, and I talked about it at the latest RMLL in Geneva in last summer. And I was pitching schools, but there wasn't much reaction to that, strangely. I was surprised. I thought it would be a really, really good idea to do that with students, design students. But no school reacted, and then by chance, through some personal connections, I managed to get a gig at the design department in Geneva. And I had a workforce of 12 students for one week to work on that project. So we established some rules that was to use exclusively Libre fonts that allow any type of the four freedoms to focus on body text, that means text that can be used for real long form, and to make the book as open as we can, which means sharing the sources, documenting everything, using an open format and so on. And that were the main three bullet points. The first step was that the students had to produce a standardized specimen layout, and this was actually a lot of research during the first two and a half days, with many different approaches, different formats, different graphic attempts, lots of discussions, a lot of criticism. I had a kind of pragmatic approach. I just wanted to have something that looked quite close to what we have in a book. The students, they were very focused on perfect harmony and breathing space and wide space, so on. So this was what they achieved and agreed upon in the end. It was a mutual compromise. And the next thing that was needed, in parallel, there was a search for an appropriate source text, because when you design a specimen, you need to have some sample text to have something on the page, and this is a very tricky choice as well. So we looked at what other specimen books did, we studied the competition, and what inspired us a lot was this little book by Fred Smeyers, type now, a Dutch great type designer, and he has about 20 pages of specimen of his own fonts in this book, and what is interesting is that it's not always the same sentence that repeats, but it's one text that flows through those 20 pages, and it's a very interesting, nice dialogue about the production of fonts, which was written in the 16th century in French by Christophe Plantin, and it works very well. You can watch the fonts, but it also feels like a live, real text, which is important. So our decisions were a real text, a real narrative. It has to be in the public domain, of course, because we wanted the book to be freely distributable, and it has to be French, because as we said, language influences the texture. So we found that book, Le Futur, a nice pre-science fiction novel from the 19th century by this author, main character Thomas Edison. The story is something that influenced later Metropolis and Blade Runner, an artificial, mechanical woman. It was published more than 100 years ago. The author died. It is in the public domain in most countries. Now, the word count, it was quite a lot. So we had to check if it was feasible. We divided by the number of people, estimated the number first per specimen, about 15 specimens per person, maybe a bit more doable. And so the real sprint started, and it was a lot of work. On the little sticky notes, those are the names of the fonts, which are labeled by color for Serif, Sans and Mono. They also did some personal creative specimens. Some of them had to be dropped because Amazon didn't validate them. And so the result, the parts that worked, is that the book exists. You can purchase it online in many countries. It is a physical book, and there is a copy here and a few others. If you want, please have a look at this. You can get a few. It's really useful, I think, honestly. And the sources have been shared. I managed to get them all into GitHub and participate and commit and so on. And they had some live interaction with some of the designers of the fonts, which was really important. They had to handle the communication. There was a debate internally in the school about if we can actually publish it or not. It's still undecided. Shortcomings and failures, proprietary workflow, broke the ambition of doing it in Scribes. I learned some stuff from that, which is I will let them do just freely what they want in the beginning, and then at some moment I will learn them to do it in Scribes, which doesn't work. It has to be decided really from the beginning very strictly, otherwise under time pressure you will fail. So that was the big lesson for me. Also some analysis that can be interesting if you want to do similar workshops. Conclusions, get to the book or have a look at it, do your own version of it, improve it, collaborate, and talk about that later. Thanks.


Thank you. My name is Matias Safa. I came from Ethiopia. I am working at Habitat for Humanity Ethiopia. It was my first time to come to here at the Netherlands Utrecht. The people, the environment, everything was perfect. The session was very exciting and excellent. I was getting lots of knowledge, insight and experience, especially from people who come from different parts of the world. So I am very happy. And when I go back home, I just want to contextualize what the lessons and experiences that I get from this workshop to the Ethiopian context and further just incorporated in my work. And hopefully, I will be an advocate for women land rights just as I am working on women land rights area. So this workshop give me an impetus just to just advance further in my area of specialty. Thank you for the, I would like to thank all the organizers and all people who are involved in this big workshop. Thank you very much. Love everyone. Thank you.


Well, thank you. I think that you've got to cut out a little special niche for yourself. And if I were you in these briefings, which we'll be talking to, I'd get myself a little pressure-proach like you did today and just say now. Get many things I'd like to add to what the President said, what Secretary of State, Secretary of State, agriculture, and economics. I'm interested in every one of those subjects. But you've heard that, and I agree with what's been said. But I made three trips to Asia this year, and this is pretty equal. This is one-two-thirds of the world living. I'd move into Malaysia. I'd move into the sixth-largest nation in the world. Then I'd go into China at the largest. Now, if you think we've got troubles, 5,000 men. Think about it, 500,000 in Asia has lost it. She's lost her communist system. And we've rescued it. Here's what they've lost in Malaysia, and she's lost it. We've rescued that. Here's what the Philippines, and we've rescued that. And we're going to rescue South Vietnam and the Chinese on the bloodbath with each other. Why are we raising so much hell of a crime when we have saved the world from communism? I just take that a little approach, kind of, like you did this afternoon. That's what they don't hear. They never see. They can't draw themselves. And while we don't want to claim that we brought about the Indonesia thing, if we hadn't given them the money with it, if we hadn't supported the general's way with it, if we hadn't been to South Vietnam the way we were, there wouldn't be any Sukarno demise. Well, you may not want to go quite that far. You can certainly say that ones that are closest to it realize the danger. And we have saved Malaysia and Indonesia and the Philippines. And China is on that bloodbath. And the North Vietnamese are running.  And now's the time to stand up and support our own men and just get you a little patriotic. Yes, sir. And one minute ending there and I think you can really wrap it up good. Well, I thank you, Mr. President. That's what I'd like to do. I hesitate a little bit to inject myself in on these meetings. I would always like to follow. And let me introduce you there at the end and get you a time limitation. We all talk too long, everyone of us. We ought to quit at four. The reason I didn't want you talking at one fifteen was I was afraid to tell you what Ray Zell about us talking too long. Right. And I had already busted in and talked too long on highways but I thought old boy would get knocked out because they would make the platform all afternoon. That's right. They had the agreement they were going to give us now. Yeah. But now on this thing, are you going to be here on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday next week? Yes, sir. There are two extremely important things. We've got about seventy-eight men. It's essential that we get to the foreign relations committee. You won't get them there.  Yeah. You've got to get a hold of him about nine-thirty and say, Mike, now the president is depending on you because you're his Latin American man. If you had this resolution back in Bogota, at least two weeks for a while now it did. Yeah. He wants you down there to help Morris take charge so Fulbright can't just gun us. Yeah. Then you've got to try to appeal to a fellow like Simon. Yeah. You've got to. If you can't help us, then don't help the pair. I don't know what you can do a thing in the world with Gore. You ought to talk to Lausche and tell him that we don't want the Dominican Republic and there are about five or six explosive spots.  They're going to say to me, well, you won't do anything except talk to me. We're going to say, well, if you put up the Congress here, indicates it'll support us. Yeah. We'll have to justify the authorization and we'll have to justify the appropriation. Uh-huh. We've got to get that resolution through. Now, the ones that are far us, Red Hot are, I don't have a list, but, uh, Sparkman. Morris and Sparkman. And, uh... And Akin. Oh, Akin is kind of a picky-unish, we couldn't tell. We've got to take the Democrats. We have Sparkman and Morris and Mastin. Yeah. McCarthy, he's one time, he's with us. Clark. Yeah. Yeah. Super strong. Well, this is sick. Akin ought to be with us. He's seven cases. He hasn't kind of committed himself, but he ought to be with us without any question. Hey. Uh-huh. There's one or two more. Well, Carlson ought to be with us. Yes, that's nine. Yeah. Uh... Now, uh, Williams, of course, is another fellow on there. I don't know where he will stand. We got Don. He ought to be with us. You will, but I don't know whether you're going to vote. I'll get him. You just got to. Yeah. I'll get him. There'll be no problem. I'll get Don. And then we've got Frank Church. Well, he is, uh, he's telling everybody he's got to be against this, and I don't want us to go help him or McGovern. If you ever ask me to help, that's not a bit of a cover. Ha-ha-ha. I understand that. I won't. Kevin, he came down on the plane the other night. He's the one who gave out that statement that didn't want us out there helping him. Well, I damn sure not going to be helping him. I'll tell you that. I want to be supportive of what a Republican runs against it. You ought to tell him that. Just tell him that.  You can't think you can be strong in South Dakota in the present week. You're crazy. Well, I know. That's that sample. Just say, if you haven't got sense enough to know that if you've got a weak president in South Dakota, you're gone anyway. So you better make him look as good as you can instead of gutting him over. Well, you ought to have that much sense. There's no doubt about that. I'll be to get those votes there. You want those votes out of that. That's important. As they are likely full right, so as he wants to put it over. That's what Morris has told us today from you having. And he has a s- that the committee will dispose of the- Carl Marcy says he'll dispose of the Space Treaty in 15 minutes. Yeah. How you want it. But if he doesn't, Morris says that he will move to the other side and proceed with a summit resolution. Yeah. But we need to get that passed by Wednesday anyway. And we need to get passed by a heavy vote. It won't do us any good to have a 32-31 vote. Now it looked like to me about the best you can get. The word like hell would be ten to five. But I hope it won't be any worse than that. Then we've got the second thing. Investment credit. The house has already passed it. They cost us five or six hundred million by dating it back to last October. But we don't want any other amendment. We don't want it to have to go back to the house because it'll get in trouble. Now, as long as it's gone, he's left it with smithers. Ever lobbyists in the country is working on smithers. Others advised us today that he'll have hearings Monday and executive sessions Tuesday. And he'll report the bill on Tuesday. Masfield says that he'll take it up on Wednesday. But they'll always slip a day. So you just see they don't slip. All right. So Masfield, please don't leave until he gets those to do the bill fast. The reason is nobody's spending a dime until they see what happens to investment credit. Right, right. It's a little depression. Well, I'll clean my calendar any appointments I have on Mondays and Tuesdays here just to spend full time on those committees. There's two things that keep them where they don't have to go back to the house. Yes, sir. House is reporting the resolution like we want it. If the Senate will just submit, we've given them the amendment. If they would just report Morris's resolution, Morris Hickenlooper. He'd take Morris and Hickenlooper and pass up my fare.  That's for sure. What time do you expect to get back from Guam? Oh, I don't know. Wednesday, I guess, on Thursday. I'm not sure.  They'd give more interviews. But here's what we want when we get the message back. They can account in your comments the light of further consideration. We've concluded the vice president's trip within time frame March 27th, April 8th. He laid on, if at all possible, on the basis of the itinerary set forth below. The request you're requested to console the host governments in order to determine whether their visit this time would be acceptable, having a view of public announcements as early as possible, or upon a view of the fact that universities would be closed or like you to arrange other suitable forms for major speech of the Federal Republic having in mind consideration referred to and the Lady Hildebrandt telecom. When we note that Fanfanny will not return until afternoon of March 30th if possible, schedule a meeting with Saragas and Moral on March 29th with a Pope on the morning of March 30th and with Fanfanny afternoon of March 30th. This should meet problem referred to in Rome's 481 Wall, a revised schedule Monday, March 27th, daytime travel from Washington overnight to the Federal Republic. Private bond Tuesday meeting no business, Federal Government Republic overnight in Rome, Wednesday, Rome, Rome overnight in Paris, Friday and Saturday in Paris, Sunday, Paris or London, rest, Monday, London, Tuesday, London, Wednesday, bond, Thursday, bond, Friday, bond, Saturday, Washington. Now, we have an agreement from the McCloy Group. We're going to have about 20 minutes more from the British. We're going to move one division real-time and they're going to move one brigade but we've got the Germans signed on to buy our bonds and we've got the British signed on and it looks like we have prevented the dismantling of NATO and we're in good shape. Now, I think there'll be two or three things that you ought to do. The first thing I think you ought to do is get you a little chart and have them make it have the Defense Department make it in red, white, blue and green colors like they make their chart that would show on a page 8 by 10 where you'd have a number of copies of it. All of the various pauses we've had and the reaction right under the first pause the first Bobby Kennedy pause he came in April 22nd May we put it on we told him a week ahead of time and the first day they pitched it back in we ought to show that and then the second pause we ought to show what that is 37 days they showed us it'd be 12 to 20 days 15 to 20 days it was 12 to 20 the Soviets put it on they initiated with Mansfield then with Wright then with Morris then with Clark then with Bobby Kennedy then with Mack Bundy then with Mack Mara then they also rust I turned it down the three times and finally went on with it had to go 37 days then the last pause 6 days we told him way ahead of time when Ted was coming up and we said to him directly if you listen now give us any indication whatever we will reciprocate anything you give us but they said no no hell no every time now I think you ought to say that to every one of these leaders then you ought to give them this chart you ought to give them the next chart and say here's what the 17 nations did here's what the Indians did here's what the British did yes sir just like we had there today only I get those in small size get an 8 by 10 and leave it with them and I might just take me one about half as big as this about the size of my chart over there on inflation red white blue now take one of them pauses and take one on a piece of nation instead of putting them all on one and get you one about a yard about half as big as rust about the size of McNamara's you might take that on the plane so if you speak to any universities you can show it to them just say now why is there such a one-sided affair why does my president have to say that the 17 nations yes yes yes and then wait a week and get denounced and then have them say no why does he have to say to the British Prime Minister go say yes and have them say no why does he have to say this yes and then no now why in the hell don't you get Hanoi one dime to say yes to anything and then come to us why do you always attack us and never attack them ones that are struggling I just indict the living hell out of Hanoi prosecute the living hell out of him prosecute anybody else that won't make them if they're interested in peace by God let them deliver their crime I think it's a pretty good line to just say that in your domestic speeches that you said the other night was about to give you some of you make administration against him and we're not at all he's such a peace loving man they wished it by God he would literally would stop his bombing he said is it just give us a pause Mr President the areas that you're figuring on then you've listed here in your conversation with me I mean I'm just talking about anything I want to the first thing I do is get the memorandum and we'll get Monday they ought to wrap up the European thing and I would just know what's happened what about what deal we made I've been quietly on my own without any reference to even my wife I've been doing something since you talked to me before just studying on some of the matters over there that are of concern I went even over to the State Department for a two hour briefing here the other day in one of their sessions on Europe in the United Kingdom well I take it, I look at all the cables that they've set back and forth on this I get all their advice around the goal so I'd have the best publicity I'd try to have the best public relations people that you can get I don't know I guess it'd be bad to ask somebody like Jim Hagger to come back but I'd get some people outside that are real good in this field and I'd get some advisors that thought would be good for me and I would ask the USA people to see if anybody wants you to vote back we'll be back soon thank you bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye
