Talk in English - US at Southeast PHP
Short URL: https://joind.in/talk/4c2e9
(QR-Code (opens in new window))
We start out on our careers with a path mapped out ahead of us; a clear beginning, a final destination, and predictable milestones in between. Too often we arrive at a place and realize it's the last place we want to be. There is an alternative to the straight and linear path. By giving ourselves license to wander and explore, we can build a career of broad experiences and real fulfilment. Join Samantha Quiñones and Graham Hoefer as they share their own winding paths through engineering, leadership and management and how they learned to let go of the ultimate destination to focus on what's really important.
Comments are closed.
First speaker pair of the event, the dynamic made the talk conversational & easy to tune into. I liked a lot of the ideas that were presented, would have been nice to have a final slide of take aways to focus things at the end.
The talk was full of great insight and humor, and I always enjoy watching Samantha and Graham shitpost each other, but it felt more like a live podcast episode than a keynote. From talking with others who don't know Samantha and Graham (particularly that they're a couple), it seems that there's a bit of confusion over *why* they're co-presenting.
Good to see a talk that compares common tasks of different job roles. Enjoyed some of the banter during the conversation but wish there had been some reference information presented at the end.

Animal Rights Uncompromised: 'Pets'
Researchers will proceed to discover the numerous well being results of getting a pet. "We're trying to find out what's working, what's not working, and what's protected—for both the people and the animals," Esposito says. NIH/Mars funds studies wanting into the effects of human-animal interactions for each the pet and the person.
And many Americans are calling for more durable regulations for importing dogs and cats into the U.S. from abroad. There are many lesser-recognized animals that include sure advantages that can truly make them one of the best pets. For occasion, renters may not be allowed to maintain canines or cats, or could should pay a large deposit to keep them. However, landlords aren't usually concerned with small aquatic and caged animals, as a result of they are much less messy and unlikely to cause property harm. Pets for Vets is tailored to the wants, desires and hopes of every of our Veterans.
AWI's ongoing Safe Havens Mapping Project addresses this gap with the event of an built-in, comprehensive state-by-state listing of sheltering providers for the animals of home violence victims. The entities included in the listing, which is subject to ongoing refinement and updating, either present sheltering companies for the animals of domestic violence victims, have a relationship with an entity that does, or provide referrals to such services. Clay County utilizing facial recognition to assist reunited misplaced pets with ownersClay County Animal Services is partnering with Finding Rover to help reunite misplaced pets with their house owners.
A yr later, the unique owner positioned the canine in the finder's yard and took it house. In awarding ownership to the finder, the courtroom famous the general public policy pursuits in giving ownership to the finder, such as limiting the roaming of stray canines and encouraging take care of misplaced pets. Such a policy of giving a misplaced pet to a finder who makes affordable efforts to locate the original proprietor reduces the burden on public animal shelters as well as the variety of animals scheduled for euthanasia. The courtroom found the finder's efforts met this burden of cheap efforts and the time period was long enough to justify giving her ownership of the dog. But the COVID-19 pandemic has been fuelling fears for the well being of humans and animals alike since it is unclear how — and even if — the virus that causes it affects pets similar to cats and canine.
The odds of cat relinquishment had been higher when buying an animal from a shelter, a friend, as a stray, and from a pet shop, in comparison with receiving an animal as a gift. Nor is it clear, beyond probably the most egregious instances, when the legislation should intervene to make sure that pet owners are assembly their animals' needs. Consider, for instance, a Great Pyrenees canine – a breed genetically predisposed to guarding.
Plane Talk: Traveling with Animals
In May 2013, the Alliance began a partnership with Urban Resource Institute (URI) and its People and Animals Living Safely (PALS) pilot program. PALS is the primary program for victims of home violence in New York City — and one of many few supplied nationwide — that gives co-sheltering for households and their pets. The program permits families and their pets to shelter within the emergency facility, preserving the welfare and safety of all. PALS began by accepting small animals, corresponding to cats, rabbits, birds, and fish, and later expanded to incorporate dogs. The Alliance supplied essential assist to URI in the type of crucial experience and technical assistance addressing the link between animal welfare and human welfare, in addition to pet welfare help.
The plow has come to symbolize the Neolithic Revolution, however viewing historical past within the mild of evolution we see that it was intelligently designed changes to the genetic composition of pure biota that made the actual instruments. In some sense, Neolithic farmers have been the primary geneticists and home agriculture was the lever with which they moved the world. Darwin famously first described natural selection in 1859 with his basic monograph On the Origin of Species. Sexual selection was addressed in Descent of Man, and Selection Related to Sex in 1871. In between these two, in 1868, Darwin published a 2-volume work, The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication, during which he expands upon a 3rd distinct stream of evolutionary mechanism—synthetic choice—that he first had outlined in Origin.

Since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, there has been an unprecedented number of flights cancelled across the globe. Many airways have stopped carrying stay animals utterly and lowered operation to mirror less passenger site visitors. More and extra international locations are closing their borders to overseas travelers. The situation is quickly evolving and journey choices available one day will not be out there the next. See particulars about becoming a member of IPATA and turning into a globally recognized firm who promotes humane animal transport.
Pets could also be shipped as cargo if unaccompanied, and plenty of airline cargo departments make use of specialists in the movement of animals. Some airlines enable the kennel to be carried within the passenger cabin as carry-on baggage if it suits under the seat. So it's a good idea to have a licensed veterinarian examine animals within ten days previous to cargo and concern a certificate stating that the animal is in good health. Airlines may not require well being certificates for service animals utilized by passengers with disabilities. Over two million pets and different live animals are transported by air every year in the United States.

What the law allows pharmaceutical drug manufacturers to do
Lies, deceit, falsification
Most pharmaceutical research is lies
No pesky natural or traditional home remedies
Demand for pharmaceutical products depends upon ill health, so big pharma wants ill health.
Lies, deceit, falsification
According to Harvard Medical School professor Arnold Rehman, the role of the big pharmaceutical companies has changed from "developing the drugs that society really needs to trying to extract as much money as they possibly can from the healthcare system". (9) The overriding objective of pharmaceutical drug companies is to maximise their profits.
In 2000 the pharmaceutical industry spent two and a half times more on marketing than on research.(3) However a study in 2012 found that the situation is much worse - for every $1 they spend on basic research, they invest $19 in promotion and marketing. (10) Clearly there is no "crisis of innovation" as the pharmaceutical industry claims. Instead, big pharma is milking its powerful position whilst lying about its intentions. They have no incentive whatsoever to provide the cheapest, most effective treatment alternative for any ailment. On the contrary, they try to hide or discredit all remedies and cures that are alternatives to their current, most expensive, patented drug, even when these alternatives are demonstrably superior.(2, 4, 8)
"The goal of a health-care system should be to keep people well, not to make stockholders rich. Today, the US health-care system too often serves to enrich wealthy investors and executives, while impoverishing, and even bankrupting, many working families." (15)
A successful pharmaceutical drug reduces your symptoms, keeps you dependent for the rest of your life, and extracts all the money you can possibly pay.
Golden rules for pharmaceutical companies (Black humour).
The pharmaceutical drug industry is based on patents and legal approvals. The granting of a patent and approval for sale for a drug or a manufacturing process provides the lifeblood for drug companies. They will do anything to secure as many patents as possible in order to stifle their competition, and maximise their profits by selling at the highest possible price.
It currently requires enormous capital for testing and approval before a drug is approved for sale to the public. In America, it often takes ten years and $1 billion to get a new drug onto the market. Only the biggest few companies have the resources to do this. This is just one way that pharmaceutical companies stifle their competition - they simply make it too expensive to compete - and they continue to lobby (bribe, threaten and lie to) to make testing as expensive as possible. This also ensures that nearly all testing of pharmaceutical drugs is financed by themselves, rather than other impartial bodies that do not have this conflict of interest.
At the same time that they make it as expensive as possible to test new drugs, nearly all pharmaceutical companies take dangerous shortcuts with their own testing. A study of clinical trials published in 2018 looked at the evidence that review boards used in deciding whether a pre-clinical trial can safely proceed. However almost 90% of 708 preclinical efficacy studies reviewed made no reference to a published report, making it hard to know whether the study would even pass peer review. 95% of the studies contained no mention of the processes they used to avoid bias. (17)
The bigger and more profitable the industry, the more it can afford to lobby (bribe, threaten and lie to) politicians and decision makers to pass laws that benefit the industry.
Marcia Angell, M.D. is an American physician, author, and the first woman to serve as editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine. She has had a distinguished and high-ranking career. This article draws on her book The Truth About The Drug Companies.(4)
Usually new drugs approved for patent and sale are me-too drugs, with a slightly altered molecule to an existing drug. In the USA, the testing required for drugs does not require that they be compared with their close cousins, with any other drugs, or with any natural or traditional medicines. It is sufficient to show that they are effective in curing a particular ailment. The fact that they may be less effective than all the alternatives is deliberately concealed. Frequently a new and less effective me-too drug will go on sale with a new patent, a high price, and a campaign to hide or discredit the expired-patent drug it is replacing.(4)
Many drugs are ineffective, with falsified studies (1, 2, 18), lobbying pressure, and placebo effects distorting their use. "In more than half of the clinical trials for six leading antidepressants, the drugs did not outperform the placebo".(5) With pharmaceutical companies funding the research into and testing of their own products, there is tremendous pressure on the researchers to come up with the desired results - regardless of whether the drugs really work or not. Huge bribes, threats, and the making or breaking of careers are all at stake. "It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published."(4)
Statin drugs are an example of a pharmaceutical that is promoted using falsified trials and a massive campaign of misinformation, bribery and corruption. A study has found that "the epidemic of heart failure and atherosclerosis that plagues the modern world may paradoxically be aggravated by the pervasive use of statin drugs." (11) This was confirmed again in 2018. (19)
"Today, the USA pays, by far, the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. Meanwhile, nearly one of five Americans cannot afford to fill the prescriptions their doctors write." (15) Healthcare expenditure on hospitals, doctors and the conventional medical system is growing faster than both inflation and GDP. It now accounts for 18% of GDP. (16) The irony, as Grow Youthful shows, is that in nearly every case there is a better alternative to these expensive prescription drugs.
Most pharmaceutical research is lies
85% of trials of pharmaceutical drugs are completely funded by the company which will be selling that drug. This is a blatant conflict of interest. (20)
Most research findings published by pharmaceutical companies are false. Up to three quarters (75%) of published research in the medical literature concerning pharmaceutical drugs is ghostwritten by public relations firms. Pharmaceutical companies routinely hire ghost writers or professional media consultants to ensure that the results of studies read the way that they want them to read - and they conceal potentially serious or even fatal side-effects. (1, 18)
Drug companies withhold complete information on clinical trials, undermining the the ability of doctors, hospitals, other scientists and researchers, medical bodies and associations, and the government itself, to make informed decisions. (2, 7) British MPs have expressed "extreme concern" that drug manufacturers appear to publish only about 50% of their completed trial results, (8) and warned that this practice has "ramifications for the whole of medicine". Richard Bacon, a senior member of the committee (7), said that the drug companies do not allow access to past trials "which bear on the efficacy and safety of medicines in use today". He also said that trials which gave a favourable verdict were about twice as likely to be published as trials giving unfavourable results. (2)
Dr Fiona Godlee, editor-in-chief of the British Medical Journal, told the MPs that the pharmaceutical industry published more positive results than negative results from their trials, and "when you add together the published and unpublished evidence, you get a very different picture of the quality and effectiveness of those drugs". (7)
From The Economist "... the results of half of clinical trials are never published. These missing data have, over several decades, systematically distorted perceptions of the efficacy of drugs, devices and even surgical procedures. And that misperception has sometimes harmed patients." (8)
As well as being fully aware that some of their drugs are toxic, harmful and cause death and misery, pharmaceutical companies also sell drugs that they know are ineffective. Yes, they sell drugs fully aware that research shows they are useless in up to 95% of the cases for which they are prescribed. (12, 13, 20)
"We could stop almost all psychotropic drug use without deleterious effect", says Peter C Gotzsche, questioning trial designs that underplay harms and overplay benefits. These drugs are responsible for more than half a million deaths in the Western world each year, in return for minimal benefits. (14) In addition to half a million deaths, multiple millions suffer devastation to their lives because of these psychotropic pharmaceuticals.
Washout. A common technique used in pharmaceutical trials is the washout. Before the official trial begins, all subjects are given a dose of the drug. Those subjects who show any negative side-effects are not picked for the official trial.
A research article (6) published in 2005 came to the following conclusions. It seems that the manipulation and suppression of research results for financial reasons has worsened since then. (1, 18)
"... most claimed research findings are false."
"The greater the financial and other interests and prejudices in a scientific field, the less likely the research findings are to be true. Conflicts of interest and prejudice ... are very common in biomedical research."
"There is increasing concern that in modern research, false findings may be the majority or even the vast majority of published research claims."
Suppression of adverse findings and avoidance of necessary research particularly applies to the genetic modification of food.
A leading cause of illness and death
Pharmaceutical drugs are the third leading cause of death in the USA (most other countries too). And for each person who dies from a drug, there may be a hundred suffering from the side-effects of the pharmaceutical medications that they are taking - sometimes knowing that the drugs are causing illness, but more often existing in a haze of confused sickness and ailments, not having connected the dots...
No pesky natural or traditional home remedies
This is why drug companies are not interested in natural or traditional products, which are usually more effective than pharmaceuticals, and have no side-effects. There are thousands of examples of effective natural cures that are not used because there is no financial incentive for anyone to do so, or because they have been actively discredited.
Here are a just couple of examples:
- Borax prevents and treats arthritis, candida, osteoporosis, cancer, hormonal imbalances and many other ailments. It is so cheap and effective that medical boards in Western countries have actively campaigned against it and got it discredited and labelled as a poison. In reality, it has about the same toxicity as table salt, and is widely and effectively used in countries where the pharmaceutical industry does not have as much clout.
- Apple cider vinegar is an effective and cheap remedy for many ailments. For example, if you have acid reflux / heartburn, ACV is a quick and permanent cure.
- Gum turpentine is a home and folk remedy that has been used for many centuries. It prevents and cures diseases ranging from asthma to cancer to all kinds of infections, to heart disease, to gum disease and so much more. All without side-effects, it only has side-benefits.
- Colloidal silver is an effective antibiotic, antifungal and antiviral, cheap and without side-effects if used correctly. It is subject to an ongoing campaign to discredit it.
- The old diuretics are far more effective for treating high blood pressure than new drugs like ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers, but are seldom used (4) because their patents have expired and they are not so profitable.
- Iodine is another powerful natural remedy that is subject to a campaign to discredit it.
- Progesterone may be used in the treatment of menopause and some other hormonal symptoms. Real progesterone, identical to that found in the human body, cannot be patented. Instead pharmaceutical companies synthesise harmful look-alike chemicals that are different enough to patent. The new drugs have names that are confusingly similar to progesterone, such as progestin and progestogen. With their control of doctor education, most doctors are not even aware that there is any difference. This is just one example of how you are being pushed to purchase expensive, dangerous, synthetic (manufactured), altered versions of natural remedies. The reason - proprietary drugs can be patented and sold a high prices, natural medicines cannot. When naturally-occuring molecules are altered to create a new molecule that can be patented, an inevitable consequence is horrific side-effects. Most drugs have side-effects, such as heart and liver disease, cancers, bone loss, dependence and addiction, skin diseases, depression and many other mental problems, and much more.
- Throughout this website you will discover numerous other highly effective natural and traditional remedies. Most are cheap, free or already available in your home. Some of these natural remedies are listed here. Pharmaceutical companies are doing everything they can to control, ban and discredit all remedies that they cannot own and patent.

Matt Cain was in fine form on Thursday night against the NL West leading Padres, putting the Giants within one game of being on top of the division. Cain pitched eight innings allowing only one run, before giving up a two-run homer in the 9th, before he gave way to the bullpen.
Overall, he gave up three runs on five hits and a walk, while striking out eight. His velocity was up, his location was great, and overall, Matt Cain looked great out there.
Aubrey Huff went 3-4, including a two-run shot while Buster Posey put in a two-run homer of his own. Pat Burrell got ah hold of one as well, earning a solo homer alongside Juan Uribe, who put up one of his own.
They took Jon Garland for six runs on eight hits in five innings. Garland also walked three. Andres Torres hit a triple on the second pitch of the game, and was drove in by Freddy Sanchez on a single. Sanchez also had three hits in the game.
The win was the first time the Giants ever hit four home runs in one game at Petco Park. Not only did it put them one game back of the Padres, but it put them one game back for the wild card behind the Braves.

INA, Ill. (Oct. 13, 2020) — The Rend Lake College Nursing Program has been granted its initial accreditation by the leading authority for nursing education.
The Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing granted RLC accreditation to its associate nursing program during its Board of Commissioners meeting in September.
"Being accredited ensures quality standards to produce highly qualified nurses," said Dr. Susan Wiley, Director of RLC's Nursing Program. "Accreditation will create a culture of continuous improvement as nursing evolves."
While RLC has always offered quality education in the nursing field, accreditation does afford the program several benefits. ACEN accreditation is required for many nursing admissions programs for students looking to further their education. It is also required by some state regulatory agencies. Accreditation can help RLC improve student recruitment and keep up to date with changes and improvements in the medical field. Students may see increased eligibility for state and federal financial support and have increased career opportunities.
"ACEN accreditation ensures academic quality standards," Wiley said. "This rewarding journey that the nursing faculty achieved was a monumental process of improvement in streamlining academic quality standards."
RLC applied for candidacy for ACEN accreditation in February 2018. The Nursing Program was granted "candidacy" status in March 2019 until achieving initial accreditation this fall. During this period, RLC faculty worked on program enhancements and curriculum improvements.
"The ACEN accreditation process is rigorous," said RLC Dean of Allied Health Bria Robinson. "The nursing faculty worked diligently during this process to gain this status. Receiving this achievement shows their dedication to the program and to the students."
RLC's Nursing Program underwent a peer evaluation by ACEN to achieve this status, which occurred in March. RLC's accreditation status will last through Spring 2025 when the next peer evaluation and site visit will take place.
"We look forward to continued successes for your nursing program. On behalf of the Board of Commissioners, we thank you and your colleagues for your commitment to quality nursing education," ACEN Chief Executive Officer Marsal Stoll wrote to the college.
The ACEN is recognized as an accrediting body by the U.S. Department of Education and by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. ACEN is also one of the largest — and the oldest — specialized accrediting agencies, accrediting nursing programs throughout the United States and internationally.
RLC's Nursing Program is designed to prepare nurses who can give quality nursing care to clients and function as members of nursing and health care teams. To learn more about RLC's Nursing Program, or to apply, visit rlc.edu or contact RLC's Allied Health Division at (618) 437-5321 Ext. 1251 or [email protected].

For a variation, try using more than one piece per player, but you can only take one shot at a time. You can also use teams.
This game can be improved if the other players, while waiting for the current player to collect all the glasses, each run around the house following a predefined path and carrying an object like a saw or a toilet lid, try and get in the players way.
This game does have a tendency to turn into a wrestling match.

By ROLFE WINKLER
Carl Icahn's missives ain't what they used to be.
Dell's stock rose less than 1% Friday after the activist investor released an alternative proposal for the personal-computer maker to return a ton of cash to shareholders and remain a public company. Mr. Icahn says his plan, put together with top outside shareholder Southeastern Asset Management, would help deliver "upside" for Dell shareholders. More likely, it's just a scare tactic to pressure Silver Lake Partners and Michael Dell to add a few quarters to their $13.65-a-share buyout bid.
Considering how little leverage Mr. Icahn and Southeastern have, it looks like a long shot.
Mr. Icahn would use Dell's existing cash hoard and borrow an additional $5.2 billion to finance a $12-a-share payout, which shareholders could take in the form of cash or shares. The argument is that those electing to keep some stock would end up winners when Dell's challenged business improves.
But could Mr. Icahn and Southeastern really help lead that turnaround? Their proposed changes include cost savings from cutting the number of PC models that Dell sells. They also want the company to invest in its business selling enterprise gear. That will be much harder under the weight of huge, new debts. Nor does the pair have a management team it can offer up as an alternative.
It is unfair to Dell shareholders that, in effect, their own chief executive stopped working for them the instant he put his own bid on the table. But here they stand. Upside, to use Mr. Icahn's phrase, looks like a risky proposition. His threat of litigation, which itself could be interpreted as a sign that the investment case is weak, looks unlikely to scare anyone. Dell's board shopped the business to plenty of other buyers, all of whom passed, including Blackstone Group with its own stub-equity plan.
If Mr. Icahn ends up forcing Mr. Dell and Silver Lake to sweeten their bid a touch, that's gravy for shareholders. But with a decent offer already on the table, investors shouldn't bank on more.

A version of this article appeared May 11, 2013, on page B14 in the U.S. edition of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: Icahn's Plan Just Doesn't Dell-iver.

TourTalbot.org continues its look at entrepreneurs who braved the coronavirus pandemic and opened a new venture in Talbot County. See New Restaurants
As if to say "we will endure and overcome," Talbot County entrepreneurs and cultural organizations added new adventures, sites to visit, and events to an already robust list of things to do in spite of the pandemic. Open your calendar and make a date to visit one, or all, of these intrepid business ventures.
Historic Tilghman Packing Company Mural
6127 Tilghman Island Rd., Tilghman Island (for navigation purposes)
Public art plays a big role in contributing to a community's feeling of pride of place, drawing in art seekers to new places, and ultimately adding to the overall economy of that place as people then stay to eat, visit an attraction, or find a place to stay overnight. This was the impetus for the new mural on Tilghman Island that was unveiled on May 7, 2021. The mural was painted by nationally renowned and award-winning artist Michael Rosato and depicts a representation of the Tilghman Packing Company, once the largest employer on the Island. To view the mural, take the 20-minute drive from St. Michaels to Tilghman Island and over the Knapps Narrows Bridge. , Just over the bridge, look to your left. Park and get out to see the mural then visit one of the Island's restaurants for a bite!
The mural was partially funded by the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority, Stories of the Chesapeake, and many generous donors.
Self-Guided Walking Tour of Oxford, Maryland
The Oxford Museum101 S. Morris Street, Oxford | 410–226-0191
Like all of Talbot County's towns and villages, Oxford has its own character and charm. The Victorian era houses, park benches at each inlet, and small beach make it a quiet place to relax and take in the views of the Tred Avon River. To dig a little deeper into this picturesque place, The Oxford Museum has created a Walking Tour of Oxford pointing out the homes, people, and points of interest of note. Follow the guide to find the location of the old Maryland Military Academy, the former post office where Miss Molly Stewart presided starting in 1877, and the Odd Fellows Hall that served as the center of African American life in the early part of the 20th century. All of these buildings are now private homes or shops.
Easton Carriage Tours
105 Brewers Lane, Easton | 540-460-2455
Jessica Buchanan Tanglao began her carriage tour career working for the Lexington Carriage Company in Lexington, Va., for more than 10 years, learning to drive singles and pairs (horses) for commercial use. She purchased her first carriage from her employer in 2012, and it is part of her fleet today at Easton Carriage Tours. She opened her Carriage tour business in May 2021 to take people back to a forgotten pace of clopping horse hooves on city streets. Take a ride through the streets of Easton as the guides point out historic structures and regale you with tales of the people and events that help build present-day Easton. Furry friends are welcome on the carriage.
The Avalon Foundation's Stoltz Pavilion
218 N. Washington Street, Easton | 410-822-0345
A new performance venue has come to Easton! The Avalon Foundation, an arts and cultural organization that owns and operates the 100-year-old historic theater in downtown Easton, built the Stoltz Pavilion to provide outdoor music and performance events to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. The state-of-the-art tent structure can hold up to 200 people and provides socially distanced "pod" seating for up to four people, plus QR codes for ordering beverages and snacks, safely bringing nightlife back to downtown Easton. Developing this covered outdoor venue has been a game changer during this challenging time, supporting performers who were forced out of work and local businesses, especially restaurants, as patrons visit before heading to the show. The venue has been so successful the Avalon Foundation is continuing the venue indefinitely. Check for the next performance HERE.
Water's Edge Museum
101 Mill St, Oxford | Phone: 917-282-7102
The Water's Edge Museum opened virtually in February 2021 and is now welcoming in-person visitors. Housed in the town of Oxford, the museum tells the important story of Maryland's founding African American families whose enslaved labor "fueled the engine that would become the new democracy." The descendants of many of these families would become such notable Black figures as Frederick Douglass and Harriet Ross Tubman.
The Water's Edge Museum tells these stories through programs, music, and exhibitions, including a portrait collection featuring the lives of Black farmers, musicians, watermen, crab pickers, and others. The museum's aim is to help today's young people find their place in history and identify their own positive and unique voices when facing contemporary issues and challenges.

If you're reading this, you're not studying… busted! Today's post is about procrastination, more specifically "positive procrastination." Procrastination has earned a bad reputation – we're trained to think we don't deserve downtime, and we often associate procrastination with video games or obsessively refreshing our email or "doom scrolling" social media. But, hey, you're not going to study for eight hours straight without some kind of break anyway, and there are some productive ways to give your brain and body a boost when you take a breather.
Even though it might sound counterintuitive, we recommend making a list of things you can do when you need to take five. That way, you've got your guilt-free activities all queued up. We started a list of "positive procrastination" examples for you, but feel free to add to it:
Take a Shower
You have to take one anyway, and a warm stream of water can be a great incubator for creative thought. Showers can release dopamine and relax you so thoughts can flow creatively and freely. Sometimes our best ideas happen when we're not actively trying to have them. So soap up, productive procrastinator!
This is another one you need to do anyway. Skipping meals can lead to low blood sugar which actually makes it more difficult to concentrate. Scarfing down a lot of food at once can make you sleepy so choosing lighter fare will keep you from going into a food coma. For a shorter "positive procrastination" break, we're banana fans (brain food bonus!).
This one's especially for the slouchers out there. Five to ten minutes of stretching is great for your body, and lying on your back while gently holding your knees to your chest can help reset a lower spine crunchy from hunching over the keys. If you've been typing for hours, try clasping your hands and rolling your wrists around for 30 seconds.
Unclutter your mind by decluttering your work area. No need to spring clean, just pick one surface to clear or organize during your "positive procrastination" break. Keeping your space clear doesn't just clear your mind, it can also have a positive effect on your mental health.
Here's a novel idea: try "positive procrastination" while you study. There's evidence that doodling while you're learning by ear will actually help you concentrate and retain information. In one study, doodlers retained an average of 29% more information!
Do Laundry
This is a three-part productive procrastination technique: wash, dry, and fold. Even the short walk to and from the machines is good for breaking up a sedentary study session. Added bonus: you can time your study sprints around each cycle.
Take Water Breaks
Hydration begets concentration. Your brain mass is about 75% water, and it needs regular replenishment to operate at full capacity. Dehydration can affect more than your brain as well, from your metabolism to heart health to body temperature regulation. Get up, refill your glass or water bottle, and take a good long drink.
Stare Into Space
It's no secret that staring at a screen at length can strain your eyes, and even do permanent damage. Your eyes need a study break, too. The 20-20-20 rule is a quick and simple way to remind your eyes the world is bigger than your computer monitor. Choose a point in the distance (20 feet or so) and stare at it for 20 seconds. Do this every 20 minutes or so.
Call a Friend
This one's good for intermission – a slightly longer break. Studying can feel isolating, especially when you're cramming for exams, and talking to someone can be a morale booster. There's nothing wrong with dialing up a friend or loved one. You've earned a little dose of friendly endorphins to help ease stress and remember there's life beyond books.
To sum up: You don't need to space out your breaks precisely – if you're on a roll, by all means, stick with your learning. But cycling through the above will help you become a productive procrastinator and stay happy, healthy, and focused, without feeling guilty. And now that you've finished reading this (hopefully helpful) post… get back to work!

Keep your product running the way it should for twice the lifespan.
Projectors contain cooling and optical systems that become clogged with fine dirt and dust particles. If allowed to accumulate over time, this can cause the premature blocking of filters, lamps to explode, overheating and even serious damage to major components such as the optical box and main board.
This dirt and dust must be removed to allow for the efficient cooling and transmission of light in the projector.
Regular periodic cleaning is required in order to extend your projector's life and maintain optimum performance and must be done by qualified technicians.
Benefits of regular projector cleaning lead to enhanced performance and effective cost savings:
At Megatech, we provide tailored preventative maintenance and cleaning service packages catering to all DLP, LCD and LED projector models.

Week #371
A quick week punctuated by illness. We still did manage to get a few things done in between the cracks.
Week #130
Weeknotes are a quick and brief review of what we've been up to for the last 7 days. Since this is our first weeknote and we missed the last 129, it's a little longer than normal.
It has been a busy summer and we've got lots to show for it. You tend to forget how many projects we've been working on and how long they've taken unless you track it and review it.

Members of a genderless civilization (portrayed by female actors with bowl haircuts and dour expressions) seek help from the Federation after one of their shuttles disappears in a Space Thing.
The fact that Picard's opening log goes out of its way to identify the J'Naii as "an adrogynous race" is a pretty obvious cue that this episode isn't about the random space thing, it's all about gender.
After Riker carelessly refers to a J'naii leader as "he," pilot Soren points out the error, but can't supply him with a better word. "We use a pronoun which is neutral. I do not think there is really a translation."
Soren soon begins asking more detailed and intimate questions about human gender. Because this is episodic TV and the plot requires it, Riker is attracted to Soren, the relationship becomes physical, and there's even a scene where Riker tells Troi "I've met someone."
After 30 years what was designed as a risky episode seems awkward. Because up to now Riker has never shown any interest in reserved, nerdy techies with bowl haircuts, the story seems forced. The plot conjures up a scenario where it's the genderless majority that controls the institutions and defines normalcy, but the script is also carefully designed to uphold traditional gender concepts. Troi has a scene where she is sorting through a box of dolls her mother sent her, and Crusher has a scene where she answers Soren's questions about makeup. And it's the manliest men on the cast, Riker and Worf, who attempt a commando rescue mission, liberating a female from the genderless oppressors who want to erase her identity.
On the production side, the episode is memorable for two-person scenes between Soren and Riker, and shows off a new full-sized mockup of a big shuttle, originally built for the movie Star Trek V.

Six Teams That Need a Big Move Before the 2020 NHL Trade Deadline
4 Comments
Kal El on February 23, 2020 at 4:50 pm
Does anyone here think moving Tavares should be considered …
would any of these names make sense ?
Philip Forsberg – Preds
Dylan Larkin Wings
Ryan Getzlaf – DucksCurious ??
George O on February 23, 2020 at 5:22 pm
I seriously doubt Tavares – who has a full NMC – would consider Detroit at this stage of his career. And I doubt either the Predators or Ducks would be interested in adding an annual cap hit for a guy who would be turning 34 when it expires and who – some have observed in here – is already showing wear and tear signs.
Kal El on February 23, 2020 at 5:25 pm
Thx George …
Why are the Sens moving Namestnikov??
Seems pretty coveted around the league ..
George O on February 23, 2020 at 7:18 pm
Because he's coming of a cap hit of $3,250,000 and at this stage he and his agent likely think they can get more than Ottawa is willing to offer. With 13g 12a 25 pts in 54gp I wouldn't hand him even that amount.
Who knows, if he goes somewhere for a 4th round pick or even a body the Sens can use the rest of the way, he could wind up back in Ottawa later in the spring … but at a lot less than $3,250,000. Otherwise, they'll use his spot next year for one of the kids coming up the pipe.
As I say elsewhere in these threads to John, I think the days of throwing good money after bad are fading fast. Here's what we're offering – take it or leave it.
We already saw a sign of that in San Jose when Wilson wouldn't go any higher than $1 mil for Labanc even after he posted a 17g 39a 56 pt season. He was crazy to sign it because now, after a big drop off in production, I see talk in here from Sharks fans that his days in San Jose may be over.

The Horizon 2017 report encourages faculties at colleges and universities to adopt effective instructional strategies that their K- 12 colleagues have adopted and used. A portion of these approaches include culturally- relevant and culturally- responsive teaching. Although effective instructors incorporate these practices in multiple formats and within diverse contexts, participating faculty members and graduate teaching assistants must consider behaviors and issues to which they might be applied. In this interactive workshop, the presenter will engage participants in a "lived experience" that will serve as a basis for reflection.

Now that Torino 2006 has been written into the Olympic history books and the Olympic Torch handed over to Vancouver for 2010, focus turns to the bids for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
According to the current procedure, the process leading to the election of the host city for the Olympic Winter Games consists of two phases: Phase 1 for Applicant Cities and Phase 2 for Candidate Cities.
Since the IOC launched the 2014 bid process in May 2005, seven cities have applied for the XXII Olympic Winter Games. These seven cities are: Almaty (KAZ), Borjomi (GEO), Jaca (SPA), PyeongChang (KOR), Salzburg (AUT), Sochi (RUS), and Sofia (BUL). All the Applicant Cities submitted their replies to a questionnaire prepared by the IOC by 1st February, 2006. The cities' dossiers are currently being studied by a panel of technical experts tasked to help draft a shortlist of the candidates. This analysis is focused on several areas, including the potential of the cities and their countries to host the Olympics, the motivation of the bid, and the applicant's vision for the 2014 Games.
The decision on which cities will become Candidate Cities will be taken by the IOC Executive Board at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 22nd June 2006. There are expected to be 3-4 Candidate Cities. The Candidate Cities will then be asked submit their Candidature Files to the IOC by January 10, 2007. The final decision on the host city for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games will be taken by the IOC Session in Guatemala City in July 2007.

I very rarely talk in my blog about current events but will make an exception this month. The COVID-19 global pandemic impacts each of us. First, I want to share my hope for a quick recovery for those who have contracted the virus. And I would like to express my sincere sympathies to all who are directly impacted by having lost a loved one to this disease.

Recognizing Performance Helps Keep Gotham City Safe
A person's task performance is, in essence, how well she or he accomplishes the crucial functions of a role (Borman & Motowidlo, 1993). This, of course, can be learning a concept for a student, serving the community in a positive way for a volunteer or doing a major job duty in the workplace for an employee. As someone who studies workplace behaviors, I can attest that it's crucial for managers to recognize good employee performance.

Operational Excellence in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe
Over Christmas break, I had the opportunity to see the movie "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" in the theater and really enjoyed it. I especially liked the scenes where Mr. Rogers (played well by Tom Hanks) referred back to the songs that I remembered on his show from my childhood. I have come to know these songs and other Neighborhood of Make-Believe songs well. My daughter loves the "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" show (produced by Fred Rogers Productions) and I enjoy the music because I like how several of the songs are slight updates of Mr. Rogers' originals. My family and I listen to Daniel Tiger songs all the time – and in them I hear a lot of Operational Excellence (OE) principles. After listening to these songs, I believe that OE is alive and well in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. In this blog, I will share how some of the lyrics to Mr. Rogers' and Daniel Tiger's songs illustrate the OE philosophy.

Many people who know me as a professor and researcher are often surprised that I also lead and play music with a jazz/early rock/horn band called Neon Swing X-perience. Likewise, many people that know me as the vocalist and trumpet player for the band might also be surprised of my academic career. Yet, through many years I've tried to balance both roles and this summer was no exception. While I taught a summer class, helped to effectively recruit one of the largest classes our Master of Science in Management: Operational Excellence program has welcomed and worked on a half dozen research publications, I also found time to tour with the band.

Recently, Dr. Gail Fairhurst (a friend, mentor and colleague of mine from the University of Cincinnati) visited Saint Vincent to give a guest lecture on her research. While her comments were primarily about how to be an effective leader through focusing on communication style, she also talked about the nature of problems that leaders must solve. I am reminded of some research of hers that I read in which she identifies problems as "wicked" when they are challenging to describe, difficult to solve and closely related to other problems. She and her colleagues term these to be problem "knots" because they are often tangled together in such a way that multiple problems relate to, confuse and add to each other (Sheep, Fairhurst, & Khazanchi, 2017).

When do teams begin and end? We see team membership change all the time, whether we're talking about sports or a workgroup. My favorite baseball team is the Pittsburgh Pirates. As anyone that follows the team knows, they have had quite a bit of turnover in players (for example the recent unfortunate trade of Andrew McCutchen, one of my favorites), yet they remain the Pirates. This team did not end when McCutchen left. Nor did it begin when he joined their ranks. In other words, the existence of a team can and likely will continue even when membership changes. I can think of several work teams that I've been a part of, including in my role as director of the Master of Science in Management: Operational Excellence program here at Saint Vincent, where members leave the team and new members come on board, all while the team continues along in its purpose.

PDF Editor FAQ
What is India's stand on the penal code 377? Will it be repealed?
First thing first. For all those who do not know what sec 377 is, here is what it says:"377. Unnatural offences: Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with imprisonment of either description for term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.Explanation: Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offense described in this section."So, basically intercourse between people of the same sex is an offence under this law. It is considered "against the law of nature".Now, the Naz foundation is an activist group that is fighting for protection of the rights of the LGBTQ community. It filed a public interest litigation in the High Court of Delhi seeking legalisation of homosexual intercourse between consenting adults.On July 2009, a historic decision was made by the High Court of Delhi whereby it decriminalized section 377 with respect to sex between consenting adults. In the judgment, the 2 judge bench said that if not amended, section 377 of the IPC would violate Article 14 of the Indian constitution, which states that every citizen has equal opportunity of life and is equal before law.[1][1][1][1]Appeals against this judgment was filed in the Supreme Court. On 11 December 2013, the Supreme Court set aside the 2009 judgement given by the Delhi High Court stating that judicial intervention was not required in this issue. This in effect recriminalized sexual intercourse "against the order of nature". The bench however advised the Parliament to consider, debate upon and decide on the matter.[2][2][2][2]Thus, note it's upto the Legislature to decriminalize section 377 but no concrete steps have been taken in that direction. Though, in 2015, Shashi Tharoor did introduce a private member's bill to replace Section 377 in the Indian Penal Code and decriminalize consensual same-sex relation, but the bill was defeated in first reading. Tharoor tried to reintroduce the private member's bill to decriminalize homosexuality, in 2016, but was again voted down.Source: WikipediaFootnotes[1] http://* IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + WP(C) No.7455/2001 ...[1] http://* IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + WP(C) No.7455/2001 ...[1] http://* IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + WP(C) No.7455/2001 ...[1] http://* IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI + WP(C) No.7455/2001 ...[2] http://[PDF] in the supreme court of india - The Judgment Information System judis.nic.in › supremecourt › imgs1[2] http://[PDF] in the supreme court of india - The Judgment Information System judis.nic.in › supremecourt › imgs1[2] http://[PDF] in the supreme court of india - The Judgment Information System judis.nic.in › supremecourt › imgs1[2] http://[PDF] in the supreme court of india - The Judgment Information System judis.nic.in › supremecourt › imgs1
Indian Lawyers: What is the cost for copyright a creative work in India?
Looks like it would cost Rs.500 to copyright a literary work.The copyright laws in India are governed by The Copyright Act, 1957 .The full text is in this pdf: http://copyright.gov.in/Document...There is also a Hand Book of Copyright Law - which is published in an FAQ format to ease the understanding of these laws.The handbook mentions the following:For an application for registration or copyright in a:Literary, Dramatic, Musical or Artistic work : Rs. 500/- per workProvided that in respect of a Literary or Artistic work which is used or is capable of being used in relation to any goods (Section 45) : Rs.2000/- per workA pdf file titled Gazetted Notification dated 14.03.2013 of the Copyright Rules, 2013 also mentions Rs 500. (so the amounts mentioned reflect the latest/current fees)
In the Philippines, what are the average male and female heights in each archipelago (Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao)?
I found a PDF file from the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRIDOST) detailing the average heights of males and females from the various provinces in the Philippines. They conducted a national survey from June 2013 to April 2014, covering all 17 regions of the country, 79 provinces, 45,047 households and 172,323 individuals.On page three of the report, it says that "The average height of adult Filipinos 20 yrs and older is 163 cm for males and 151.4 cm for females, while the average weight for males is 61.3 kgs and for females is 54.3 kgs."In terms of which region has the tallest population, Central Luzon seems to have the tallest men and women with an average height of 164.6 cm and 152.8 cm, respectively (see pg. 40 of the PDF file under the subheading: "Mean Height and Weight of adults 20 yrs old and above by region: Philippines, 2013").In terms of the region with the shortest population, Eastern Visayas seems to have the shortest with an average height of only 161.3 cm for males and 150.1 cm for females.So your hypothesis regarding the relationship between height and environmental factors might be partially correct. If you look at the data, you can see very little difference in terms of height between regions. Even the most impoverished regions of Mindanao and Visayas have comparable heights with those in less impoverished provinces in Luzon.PDF File: http://220.127.116.11/NNS/8thNNS.pdfNote: There seems to be some discrepancy between the data released by the FNRIDOST and ASEAN DNA with regards to the height of both males (163 cm vs 162 cm) and females (151.4 cm vs 150 cm).Source: ASEAN DNA

Fountain Gardens Tauranga
Tauranga wedding videographer – we joined Rory and Greig at one of the Bays most lovely wedding venues, Fountain Gardens. They were wed between the captivating natural surrounds of the wedding venue, which is encompassed by large, substantial bamboo shoots. We were lucky enough to see them through from beginning to end of their big day. A slightly shy, but fun loving couple – their personalities really came through during the creative shoot.
They were joined by close friends and family on their day, with a couple of special friends making rank to the bridal party. Towards the end of the day where we heard some of the best weeding speeches. A few very heartfelt and special speeches came from father of the bride and maid of honour to Rory. Greig also gave a lovely toast to his new wife, always a good sign! On these long days of shooting it's always nice to end the day with a slice of cake (or two, or three…) and their cake was one of the best we have ever tasted!

The season is finally back. Or is it?
Nobody really knows whether or not to count the Community Shield as a competitive match. Whether or not Sunday counts will probably depend on the result and what it means to you. If Arsenal win Arsène Wenger has beaten José Mourinho for the first time for some fans. Others will claim it is a totally meaningless game and 'doesn't count'.
A trophy is on the line, and the game will be played between two rival clubs in front of 90,000 at Wembley: it has to mean something.
A win will let Arsenal players know they can beat Mourinho while the Chelsea squad, just as importantly, will learn the same.
Press conference
Speaking at Friday's press conference Arsène Wenger said the game was one to be taken seriously, a fixture which draws the curtain on pre-season.
"The preparation was compact, short but overall, physically, I think we are not far," Wenger told the media at London Colney. "We had a good preparation, a good preparation brings confidence.
"Competition demands peformance, but it's a good basis to have good confidence level in the preparation."
So far Arsenal have recorded two trophy wins and looked good while beating Everton, Olympique Lyonnais and VfL Wolfsburg in the process. The players look sharp and ready to head into the season in a much more competitive nature than last season, when the World Cup was a distraction.
Now the attention turns to Wembley.
"It's the first trophy at stake so we will, of course, want to win the game," Wenger said.
That doesn't, however, mean the result will indicate just how well the season will go.
"You want a good pre-season. It doesn't give the guarantee that in the competition you'll start strong but it's good for the confidence and belief of a group."
Arsenal seem to have belief in abundance, now it is about applying that belief – and their talent – in the right way on the pitch.
Team news
Arsenal are without Danny Welbeck (knee) and Alexis Sánchez (holiday) at Wembley.
Goalkeeper Petr Čech will surely start against his former teammates. At the back Wenger is likely to choice the back four that ended last season as first choice but Mathieu Debuchy and Kieran Gibbs may get a chance to impress.
A surprise could be sprung in midfield with the Arsenal boss eager to experiment with Aaron Ramsey and Santi Cazorla, which would leave no room for Francis Coquelin. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott should provide dynamism and goal threat from wide. Jack Wilshere could get a chance in a wide midfield role if Wenger wants more support centrally.
That leaves Olivier Giroud to lead the line, with his link-up play crucial.
Possible XI: Čech; Bellerín, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Cazorla, Ramsey; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Özil, Walcott; Giroud.
The opposition
Just when you think you missed football over the summer you are reminded that Chelsea and José Mourinho are in the game.
The summer window has seen Chelsea replace Čech with Asmir Begović, who will spend a year on the bench. The same is likely to apply to loan striker Radamel Falcao.
Building on a solid defence the pinpoint passing of Cesc Fàbregas will be dangerous in tandem with the pace and close control of Eden Hazard, they pose Chelsea's biggest threats.
"He can decide games," Wenger said of Hazard during the week. "You put top players in that kind of calibre when they can decide games by creating something special, Hazard is in that category"
Chelsea have a full-strength XI at their disposal after José Mourinho confirmed on Friday that Gary Cahill and Diego Costa would be available.
Possible XI: Courtois; Ivanović, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matić, Fàbregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa
This week saw José Mourinho attempt to pile pressure on Arsenal and Wenger, talking about how much Arsenal have spent in recent seasons and how it is now paramount that the Gunners compete.
The complaint showed two things:
- Mourinho doesn't check his facts.
- Mourinho is scared of Arsenal.
After a decade of comparative frugality Arsenal bucked the trend and have spent more money in recent years. Another trend was bucked when Arsenal finally won a trophy, lifting the FA Cup back in 2014. Retaining it in 2015 showed it wasn't one-off.
A third trend could be bucked this weekend, with the Gunners finally getting one over Mourinho. He's afraid of Arsenal this season and a win on Sunday would reinforce that before the Premier League campaign begins. That's why the game matters.

Horror has put on its socially aware pants, and Blumhouse seems to lead the way with this recent horror renaissance. The studio has consistently been producing low-budget genre films that serve as important social and political commentaries. It already has films like 'Get Out' and 'The Purge' to its credit. And with the recent 'The Invisible Man', it has left its mark in horror in 2020. But the studio's latest endeavor might either leave you feeling either triggered or fascinated.
2020's 'The Hunt' is undoubtedly amongst the most controversial movies to be released this year. You may love it or you may hate it, but you definitely won't stop talking about it. After all, 'The Hunt' serves as sociopolitical commentary on American politics, class divide, and white supremacy. But the film's human hunting premise is what made it the most talked about film in the past months.
'The Hunt' centers around 12 supposedly blue-collar conservatives who find themselves in an isolated Manor House. Soon, they realize that the group has been chosen to be hunted by wealthy liberal elites as sports. A part of the mystery for the group, particularly Crystal, is to figure out where exactly are they. The Manor House certainly plays a pivotal role in the film. We also see an eerie small town filled with endless fields, forests and railway tracks.
Since 'The Hunt' is primarily about hunting and being hunted, spaces play a key role in portraying the physicality of both fear and control. In case you're wondering where the Manor House and the eerie nameless town are located, here's everything we know.
The Hunt Filming Locations
Certain aspects of 'The Hunt' separate it from your usual horror movie. Part of it is definitely its premise. Instead of focusing on supernatural entities, the focus is on the perverse effects of power and wealth. The film supposedly satirizes both liberals and conservatives with its fictional game of human hunting. Another part is how it makes use of its space, especially the vastness of it, which is important due to the premise. It does not rely on darkness like most horror films do, but experiments with light.
In the film, it is revealed that the conservatives are kidnapped from Wyoming, Mississippi and Orlando, all of which are Republican states. When Crystal asks two shop-owners which state she's in, they reply by saying that she's in "the glorious state of Arkansas" – another Republican state. Of course, Crystal immediately learns that she's lying. While the film's actual location might not matter as much, the areas and locations in the film certainly do, especially because of the politics attached to them. In reality though, 'The Hunt' was primarily filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Filming of 'The Hunt' began on February 20, 2019, and concluded by the first week of April. The filming took place across New Orleans. Unfortunately, the exact locations have not yet been revealed. But what's interesting is the choice of the city in the first place. Interestingly, New Orleans is known as the "most-haunted" city in America. The city is believed to have a haunted past and its decaying above-ground cemeteries along with the gothic looking European architecture definitely end to it.
New Orleans' remotely located mansions and plantations make it all the more eerie, and a great film location for horror practitioners. Though it has not been revealed, it can be safely assumed that some of these must have been used for the filming of 'The Hunt' as well, especially with the Manor and the vast fields.
Locations like the Houmas House Plantation, St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 have been featured in horror films in the past. The Evergreen Plantation is also one of many plantations used in such films. It was particularly used in 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'. But what makes the location so haunting is it has 22 intact slave cabins and can seen as a site of true horror, tragedy and sins.
In the recent years, several episodes of 'American Horror Story' have also been filmed in New Orleans. Similarly, another one of Blumhouse films, 'Happy Death Day', was also filmed in New Orleans, in Loyola University. While the exact locations used in 'The Hunt' have not been confirmed yet, we can clearly see that part of the filming took place around the New Orleans railroads, and the forest area.
