“The Great Realisation” A Poem by Tomos Roberts
“The Great Realisation” by Tomos Roberts is a simple rhyming tale read as a daddy-daughter bedtime story taking on heavy themes such as fevered capitalism, digital addiction and, of course, the current global Covid-19 blight.
Set in an unspecified future, the poem reflects back on pre-pandemic life and imagines a “Great Realisation” triggered by the pestilence and yet, in the end, introduces something possibly even better: a global society in which people are hopefully kinder and more mindful of our environment and of each other, who spend more time outdoors and with their families than on screens or at the office.

A Journey of Education and Remembrance
It’s more important than ever to share the stories of Holocaust survivors. The urgency of keeping Holocaust memory alive and accessible is greater than ever. The Holocaust is now an event “on the edge of living memory.” Soon there will be no first-hand witnesses to share their stories.
The lessons from the Holocaust can guide us to a better tomorrow where no marginalized minority will ever stand alone in their fight for human rights.

The Washington DC 48 Hour Film Project
The long weekend of May 3-5, 2013 brought together over three dozen video production specialists from Spectrum Prime and The GLJ Media Group, including several interns from George Mason University. We received our genre, Drama, at 7pm Friday May 4th and had our four writers, including GLJ’s Guy Noffsinger, got right to work. Three hours later, the production team was ready to go setting up lights and set. By 1am, the RED camera DP’d by Matt Gottchalk was rolling.
After a four hour “nap,” production began again Saturday at 7am in time to catch the morning light for octocopter establishing shots over the mansion and Lamborghini we were shooting in Great Falls, VA. Production continued the rest of the day until about 4pm. Of course, editing was being done as the media cards were being filled, but continued well into the night until another break at 3am. By 7am Sunday, we were up again putting finishing touches and firming up the edit, the color correction with Resolve, and the opening and ending title credits, done by GLJ’s Jeff Riegel. The film was submitted 90 minutes before the actual deadline, Sunday evening.
A couple dozen films from The 48 were screened the following Saturday evening at The AFI Silver Theatre Cultural Center in Silver Spring, MD.
The Final Flight of NASA’s DISCOVERY…
April 17, 2012
To the thrill of large crowds below, Discovery made several passes over the Washington, DC area between 10:00 and 11:00 am on April 17 before landing safely at Washington-Dulles International Airport.
Approximately 10:40am: This was the second (of three) fly-overs over Dulles Airport on April 17, 2012. We listened to the Control Tower as they talked the 747 down. Upon final approach, the follow-plane was said to be low on fuel and happy to be landing, since a second fly-over at approximately 2500-3000 feet was not previously planned. The shuttle and 747 landed on it’s final third approach. I could smell the rubber from the braking tires of the 747 within 90 seconds after landing from my vantage point across Rt 28 in Herndon, VA

This is an inspirational piece about the current USA Women’s Middleweight Boxing Champion and triple Golden Glove recipient, Tori Nelson, and her fight for sponsorship against the odds. She is a single mother of two children, holds three minimum paying jobs, and a devout Christian looking to raise enough money to box internationally. She won an International WBC Middleweight title in late July 2011, won the WIBA World Title belt in February 2012, and fought twice in Bermuda to defend her belts.
Tori Nelson has fought her way to become the #1 Middleweight boxer in the world along with 13 World Title belts across three weight classes.
