The University of Minnesota Duluth Diversity Commission is presenting a collaboration of campus and community actors, artists, and musicians in “Land of Plenty: How Did You Come to Be Here?” at 7:30pm on Friday November 11 and Saturday November 12. The performance is at Marshall Performing Arts Center, 1215 Ordean Court, on the University of Minnesota Duluth campus.

PERFORMANCE: starts at 7:30pm
“Land of Plenty” wrestles with the conundrum of ideals of equal opportunity and realities of inequality in our country’s past and present. Written by Sara Thomsen and directed by Tom Isbell, the production portrays a land of welcome and abundance alongside a land of exclusion and forced relocation. Drama, song, art and spoken word intertwine to create an odyssey of origins, a quest for equity.Tickets for the performance are $15 suggested donation for Adults and $5 suggested donation for Students, Children, Seniors or Limited Income. Tickets are available at the UMD Multicultural Center, UMD Kirby Info Desk, At Sara’s Table, and online or by phone at Brown Paper Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com or call 1-800-838-3006.

Create 360-degree panoramas (Photoshop Extended)
Combine Photomerge with 3D features to create a 360-degree panorama. First, you stitch together the images to create a panorama; then you use the Spherical Panorama command to wrap the panorama so it’s continuous.
Be sure to photograph a full circle of images with sufficient overlap. Photographing with a pano head on a tripod helps produce better results.
