Now that I have grabbed your attention...
Reich, a psychoanalysist and Psychiatrist was an avid follower and supporter of Freud's theories about sexual repression. One of the most radical and unconventional figures in psychiatry he was a MASSIVE believer in the power of the orgasm. He believed that every living thing had an energy inside them that could only be released by an orgasm. The bigger the orgasm the more pent up energy was released.
He believed the orgasm was an energy regulator. But because people are constrained by social conventions and expectations we have developed this armour to block sexual energy from being released leading to a build up and potential mental health issues. A theory that is compatible with those views of Freud.
Reich also claimed to have discovered 'orgone' energy. This is a cosmic energy that Reich claimed could be collected in orgone energy accumulatores or 'cloud busters', which he would often make his patients sit in. He believed it had a healing potential.
All in all, reich believed we had an orgiastic potency. Basically, people who were abe to really free themselves and surrender themselves to the orgasm were trully happier people and had a greater 'ogiastic potency', but those who were more confined by their armour, or social constraints had a low potency, and were more at risk of poor mental health.
Well then!

WINOL - Week 5
Ok. So I haven't updated for a little while. Computor has been messing up a bit but I though I would just do a little blog about the last few weeks of WINOL.
So week five, I was presenting sports again for the third time. This time I was definately A LOT calmer. I felt like I was used to the whole process and due to great directing by Josh the whole studio felt quite calm (even though Stu is calm EVERY TIME he presents!) Every week we have been improving on deadlines and scripting getting it all done early so as to leave the production people with enough time to get the studio prepared and run through so that when it comes to the live runs it is SPOT on.
There are always a few glitches, but presenting I felt quite calm and actually excited about it. I know that I still have a few things to work on in regards to my London accent but with more practice I hope to be able to switch it on and off whenever I have to. I think a lot of the issue is with nerves but over the last couple of weeks, not just in presenting but in reporting too, I feel like my confidence has grown and that I feel like I CAN do it whereas before I would always doubt myself.
In regards to the story in week 5, Catherine and myself went to film a piece on the fairtrade fashion show. It was an 'And finally..." piece so we wanted to make it very entertaining. As well as the fashion show there was music and dancing so we got a lot of footage of that. We had taken two camera's so that we could get loads of different angles and put them together in a sequence. Unfortunately when it came to editing, the tape from one of the camera's had NOTHING on it even though whilst recording we always double check. So we worked with what we had from camera one. We managed to make it look quite good, it could have looked better with more angles but that's just the way things go sometimes. Again, due to the fact I was presenting someone else had to do the voiceover, and sometimes in the feedback sessions I wonder if people know that I went and got the package! Haha. Unfortunately, our bulletin ran over the ten minutes which was a MASSIVE problem so my story was cut from the package... AGAIN. But it happens although we were reminded that this was a very bad thing as in a real situation there would have been all sorts of problems with scheduling and if we were an advertisement reliant channel like ITV then we could have lost the company A LOT of money!
