The Meteor F.8 introduced a redesigned tail section, one of the key improvements over earlier variants of Britain’s first operational jet fighter. The larger, more swept tail fin and modified fuselage enhanced stability and control at higher speeds, making the F.8 the definitive and most capable version of the Meteor.

Prompt: "glitch effect, abstract glitch effect, pixels, macro lense, solid shapes "

CFG usually either 7, or 14
Upscaled with Topaz Gigapixel AI:
- Upscale: 2x
- Mode: Standard

My Workflow:
- Generate hundreds of 10-20 step "rough draft" images in Google Colab
- Grab the seeds of the good-ish ones
- Rerun in Google Colab with 50-100 steps using the seeds
- Send the good images to Gigapixel AI, export with Standard Mode settings
- Finally, send them through Sharpen AI, often with "Too soft - Normal" and 30-70 added grain. This step isn't that crucial, but it does help a tiny bit.
- Post to flikr with JS scripts to automate this description :)
- Probably about 1%-5% of AI generations get posted to Flickr. It depends a lot on the prompt, different prompts run into different issues. Bust portraits tend to be more successful since hands, arms, and legs almost always come out wrong.

Stability, Growth and Cooperation: Uganda in 2012 and its Role in Regional Stability, 22 February 2012
Responding to the need for stability and youth aspirations for amplifying their voices and journey to paint their value as decision-makers in Tunisia ,Allaeddine Rezgui LDF 2019 alumnus from Tunisia, founded his NGO Alwane, inspired by his longing passion for painting a futuristic vision” where youth are solution creators and partners, not to be left marginalized in the back seats”.
“My participation in the Leaders for Democracy Fellowship in Lebanon 2019, was a lifetime experience as it contributed towards shaping my knowledge and mainly my emotional intelligence and ability to adapt to diversity and new work conditions”. Says Alaeddine.
With a newly elected president and continuous efforts to engage youth in the public scene, Ala believes that professional opportunities like the Leaders for Democracy offered him doors to explore, question, meet like-minded people, and expand his network of changemakers and leaders in the MENA region and beyond.
Energized, encouraged, and more resilient were the main fruits that Alaeddine managed to grab during his rich participation. He got back home full of dreams and plans on how to uplift the grassroots lying in his local communities longing for development and a bottom-up change approach.
“The LDF program taught me to see the full picture while paying attention to details” says Alaeddine while reflecting on the dozens of workshops which he conducted as a free bono consultancy frame for his youth community-based beneficiaries. Despite his full-time job as an advisor in a governmental department, Alaeddine kept moving pieces together by being a committed volunteer offering coaching sessions focusing on conflict resolution, youth development, and communication across Tunisia. He helped motivate hundreds of youth whose age range between 20 to 27 years old.
“I had the opportunity also to reformulate the objectives of my NGO “Alwane” by investing on what I have learned and acquired during my LDF experience”. Alaeddine cooperated with a group of youth leaders and his fellow LDF alumni to reshape his NGO to be driven towards achieving the democratization of an accessible peace, democracy, and dialogue education tools and means amongst the most vulnerable and marginalized communities in Tunisia.
Alaeddine is hopeful that in the upcoming year 2020, he will sow what he reaped during the LDF program to keep on empowering youth and millennials in general, in the post-revolutionary Tunisia. For him” LDF created out of him a leader with much solidified skills and core competencies and he will be committed towards spreading and carrying that legacy for generations”
