Water crossings come with unfathomable dangers.  The sea and sky could converge at any moment, casting vessels into the water. This pop-up will explore hazardous voyages, lost ships, and unforgettable storms. From The Tempest to the Titanic, we will present centuries' worth of rare items related to nautical disasters. Some of these incidents are even closer in space and time: the Edmund Fitzgerald sank exactly 50 years ago this month on tempestuous Lake Superior. Visit the adjoining exhibit, Encounters and Dialogues, for more on the histories of journeys by ship.

Join the MSU Digital Humanities Program for our third annual DH Research Showcase in the MSU Main Library, Digital Scholarship Lab, Flex Space (2nd Floor, West), where recipients of DH summer funding will discuss their projects, and where we invite all faculty, staff and students working on DH projects to share their projects in process. Please feel free to bring your own lunch. The interdisciplinary field of digital humanities (DH) aims to bring together humanistic inquiry and digital technologies, organizing new modes of archival research, developing computer-aided methodologies for answering humanistic questions, curating digitized archives of all kinds, bringing digital platforms into the classroom in creative ways, and engaging critically with the culture of new media. A call for abstracts for those with projects in process to present will be open in early Fall semester. More information about the Fall Research Showcase.

Cloud Computing provides us means by which we can access the applications as utilities over the internet. It allows us to create, configure, and customize the business applications online. Before deploying applications to cloud, it is necessary to consider your business requirements. Following are the issues one must consider: Data Security and Privacy Requirement Budget Requirements Type of cloud - public, private or hybrid Data backup requirements Training requirements Dashboard and reporting requirements Client access requirements Data export requirements To meet all of these requirements, it is necessary to have well-compiled planning. In this tutorial, we will discuss the various planning phases that must be practised by an enterprise before migrating the entire business to cloud. Each of these planning phases are described in the following diagram: Cloud Computing Planning Strategy Phase In this phase, we analyze the strategy problems that customer might face. There are two steps to perform this analysis: Cloud Computing Value Proposition Cloud Computing Strategy Planning Cloud Computing Value Proposition In this, we analyze the factors influencing the customers when applying cloud computing mode and target the key problems they wish to solve. These key factors are: IT
