Nah... the verb is "to orient" (presumably eastwards :-) from which
"oriented" and "orientation". "Orientated" is a back-formation from
"orientation". Similar to "to sequester" hence "sequestered" and
"sequestration" -- so in the 80s, the government started "sequestrating"
union assets, rather than just sequestering them as you would expect.
