How to Grip a Golf Club – Does Strength Really Matter?
The much coveted perfect golf grip is something all golfers strive for but does it really matter? How to hold golf club is certainly one of the most talked about topics when it comes to golf instruction and technique. You'll often hear people make comments about a grip being too strong, too weak or even neutral. The truth is that the grip probably gets a little too much emphasis. There are some good rules of thumb to follow, but ultimately, the technique for holding the club doesn't have to be overly complicated. You could teach a complete neophyte the proper grip in a single day.
It's All About Positioning
The relative strength of your grip owes a lot to the positioning of your left hand. This is known as your control hand, and it affects every aspect of your put. It doesn't require actual strength to hold the golf club, but you do have to have the right amount of control. The perfect golf grip has your wrist aligned directly with the pole of the golf club. A weak grip will have a slight bend in the wrist of the left hand. This can cause the golf club to be held loosely, which will affect your ability to swing. The strongest grip occurs when your left hand actually leans over the club and goes too far down the handle.
When you swing with a weak grip, the club may move around in the palm while swinging, and this can cause a lag in the club head. The result is a swing that is loose and not powerful enough to get an accurate swing. Having a grip that is too strong is typically a sign of an amateur. This can occur as the result of trying to strengthen the right hand to get the thumb placement directly behind the shaft of the club. Since the thumb is a powerful finger, it gives the sense of better control. Take your time when learning how to grip a golf club, and you'll experience a more enjoyable play with less fatigue.
Getting the Right Grip Pressure
When you hold your club, it should feel stable. The handle shouldn't slide around during your swing, and you should have good control over your club. If you notice any tension in your wrists, arms or shoulders, you need to relax and grip less tightly. The tension is typically caused by gripping too hard.
Don't think of your swing as trying to propel the club through the air with as much force as possible. Instead, think of the swing as a pendulum of sorts. It builds speed towards the bottom of the swing in a single fluid motion. The golf head plays a huge role in this. Choose the right golf head for the put, and you'll let the club end up doing most of the work.
Whatever you do, don't try to force the stroke by using your hands. Your hands are simply there to hold the club. The real force comes from a natural and controlled swing that balances the club in your hand. A professional knows that if the stroke uses good form, the right amount of force will be provided. The wrists should always feel loose and free. If you have too tight of a grip, you simply won't get the control or speed you want.
In many ways, you have to give up control to gain control. By trusting that the right grip will help you get a stronger attack, you'll be able to play more effectively. Try to aim for the lightest grip possible while still keeping it securely in your hand. This may feel awkward at first, but you'll understand the genius of it after a few tries.
Playing With Pressure
Try an experiment to find out the right pressure you should be using to hold your club. Hold the club as lightly as possible without dropping it. Now, hold it as tightly as you can and then let it go. Go for somewhere right in between these two pressures, and then reduce that pressure by another 50 percent. This is the right grip pressure that you should use. Your wrists and forearms should be free and loose, and you should still feel like you have control of the club.
If you're gripping too tightly, it's likely because you're trying to gain too much control.
If you have any doubts at all, chances are good that you're gripping the club too tightly. At the end of a day on the green, your hands should not feel tight and constricted.
The majority of the pressure on the club should involve the smallest three fingers on your left hand. These fingers are used to hold the golf club. The other fingers should simply rest lightly on the golf club. They act as balancers to hold the club in place while still allowing a good amount of freedom of movement. In fact, you should feel like your little finger is doing most of the work.
Apply Constant Pressure
The heavier the club you use, the more you'll increase your grip. Everyone does this, but it's important to try to resist this urge. Your grip shouldn't change depending on the weight of the club.
Try alternating between very light and heavy clubs. Chances are you'll instinctively hold the heavier club tighter.
Now, instead of going back and forth between your lightest and heaviest, get the right grip on your lightest club and then move up to the next lightest.
Once you've done that and maintained the same grip, go back down to the lighter club. Then, move up to the third lightest club before moving back to the lightest again.
Continue this rotation while continually increasing the weight of the club, but always returning to the lightest club. This will help you get used to using the same light grip on all of your clubs.
Don't Regrip During the Swing
Some students end up regripping between swings when they change their grip. Hit two or three balls in a row and check to see if your club face is re-aligned. If you moved your hand positioning, then chances are you've re-gripped. It's something you'll want to pay attention to and focus on as you improve your swing.

Any number between 300 and 500 dimples is reasonable, and 336 is a common number.
How to Regrip a Golf Club?
A worn out grip will cost you shots especially if its worn out and offers little grip. Golf grips have a lifespan and just like anything that is constantly used, and it needs to be replaced when the time comes.
Regripping golf clubs is easy than many golfers think. There will be variations, but the necessary steps in regripping golf clubs remain the same.
Things you need:
- New grips
- Vise and rubber vice clamps
- Utility knife
- Two-sided grip tape
- Grip solvent
Understanding Proper Placement
When you're holding your club, it's the left hand that supports the majority of the weight. You'll use just the heel pad and the trigger finger on your left hand to hold the club.
Next, place your right hand on the club. Both of your hands should be touching, but don't push them together too much. The ring finger on your right hand should fit right alongside the index finger on your left hand. You can interlock your little finger to make it more secure. Finally, the right thumb should fold right over the left thumb for the most secure grip.
When you have the proper grip, you should feel like your hands have melded together in a comfortable way. The grip should be solid and secure, and you shouldn't have the feeling that the club will slip out of your hands.
On a scale of 1 to 10, use a grip strength of about 3 to ensure that you're not grasping the club too strongly. Feel how loose you can make your wrists and forearms while holding the club in a secure manner. Wiggle the club back and forth a few times, and check to make sure that your grip hasn't moved.
The trick to a good grip is learning how to maintain just the right amount of pressure to avoid losing your positioning on the club's handle. The bony ridge on top of your left wrist should always stay directly over the center of the handle. If it's moving, then you need to apply a bit more pressure to prevent losing your position. But, don't use every finger in both of your hands to do this. You should be able to maintain adequate pressure with the smaller three fingers, and then gently guide the club with your remaining fingers.
How to Hold a Golf Club for Beginners?
The golfer's grips are the only physical link between the body and the golf club. Having good grips make it easier to move hands and the arms properly through the golf swing and hit the ball with a square clubface. The correct golf grip can also sure a lot of shot issues and help golfers develop a consistent setup.
If you're a beginner golfer, there are several ways of how to hold golf clubs. The first step is to orient your hands on the golf club. For right-hand players, the left hand will be placed on top, closer to the butt of the club shaft, with the right hand just below the left hand.
For lefties, do it in reverse. The thumb of the top hand should be extended down the club's handle. It should not be wrapped around the grip's underside.
There are different ways of unifying the hands on the golf club. The three most commonly used are interlocking grip, the Verdon/overlocking grip and baseball grip/10 finger grip:
Interlocking grip.
The pinky finger of the bottom hand is locked between the middle finger and the index of the top hand.
Verdon or overlapping grip.
This is the most popular grip among PGA Tour professionals. This overlap grip is almost similar to the interlocking grip. Instead of linking the fingers of the top and bottom hand, the left index and the middle finger are placed together, and the right pinky finger is placed on the top gap between them.
Baseball grip or 10 finger grip.
This mostly common among beginners, juniors, and amateur players. All ten fingers go onto the club grip. Most golfers using this grips the club precisely like a baseball bat, which wraps the left thumb around the club grip.
How to Hold a Golf Club for Beginners?
The adaptations of the interlocking grip, overlapping grip, and the baseball grip have morphed into having the left hand (lead hand) and the right hand (trail hand) in a weak position, neutral position or a strong position. The USPGA players refer to these as an open-faced grip, a neutral grip as well as a closed face grip
A player's grip and golf swing will depend on many factors like strength, arm swing versus body swing and body speed while rotating.
The weak grip with the left-hand grip is achieved when the player can look down the ball and see less than two knuckles. The V of the left hand will be pointing to the golfer's chin.
It is achieved by turning the hands in a counter-clockwise motion around the club grip or to the left. It allows the left thumb to be placed on the target side of the golf club. If the hands are turned around more around the club, the clubface and the golf ball will be influenced more on the downswing.
The strong grip with the left hand is achieved when the player can look down and see three knuckles or more. With a strong grip, the V of the left hand pointed towards the shoulder.
It is achieved by turning the hands clockwise around the handle or to the right. This allows the left thumb to rest on the right side of the grip. If the hands are turned around more around the club, the clubface and the golf ball will be influenced.
The neutral grip with the left hand is accomplished when the player can look down the golf ball and see two knuckles. This allows the golfer to synchronize an arm and body motion together. The V of the left-hand will point towards the shoulder. The left thumb would be just on the right side of the grip.
These are the proper golf grips for lefties. Let's discuss the proper golf grips for right-handers.
The weak grip with the right hand is achieved when the golfer can look down at the golf ball, and the V between the thumb and the palm is pointing to the chin. This grip is accomplished by turning the right hand counterclockwise around the golf grip.

Practice Makes Perfect
The most important thing is to not be afraid to make mistakes. Go out and practice. Experiment with finding the right grip, and take your time to ensure that you get the right grip each time. If you have to spend 10 minutes setting up the perfect grip, that's completely okay.
The brain doesn't differentiate between a good and bad grip when you're learning how to grip a golf club. It simply goes with whatever you train it to do. If you train with a bad grip, you will always have a poor grip. If you take your time and get the perfect grip each time, your brain will learn and you'll be able to speed up the time it takes to get the right grip. Practice

Prophetess Monica gives birth to bouncing baby boy called Wisdom
The remarkable thing about the mother of two is her journey after her first marriage ended in 2007. The woman of God revealed that she had then decided to stay pure and abstained from all s3xual activity until she got married.
She told the Nairobian at a prior interview:
We are all humans and not holy. Though I have been tempted, I've never fallen and have never been involved with a man, besides the occasional date. I've been fasting a lot and avoiding certain foods.
She has since been with a man as is evidenced with her giving birth this week(duh!). But what is interesting about her story is how rare that happens in the liberal day and age we live in.
My question is whether anyone could stay celibate for 11 years in this day and age? Me, I could. Promise I can. But this is not about me, it is about you the Mpasho.co.ke reader, could you? Vote in the poll below:

Clubhouse Theater presents the story of Esther. Who is she in the Bible and why is she so important?Play Episode
Episode Theme: Courage in obedience
1. Esther 5:1 says, "On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance." Think about how much bravery Esther needed to have in order to approach the king. She knew she could have been killed, and yet she was brave. What comfort does this give you? What challenges does it bring you?
2. Deuteronomy 31:6 and many Bible verses begin by saying, "Be strong and courageous…" God wants us to be brave, but he doesn't leave us to do it alone. The verse ends with "the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." God is with you wherever you go. Think about how God is with you as you listen to this episode.
"On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance"Esther 5:1
In this episode, Liz and the gang tell the story of Esther. Esther needs to be brave and stand up for her people, even when it's dangerous. Queen Esther had courage when she went to see the king. She knew that if the king was in a bad mood and didn't want to see her, he could have her put to death. She also knew she had to ask the king to change his mind … can you imagine how much courage that took? She needed to ask the king to not kill all of the Jews (herself included!), even though he'd already promised to do so.
She admitted she was scared to go see the king. She asked her cousin to have all of the Jews fast and pray for her, so she wasn't alone. Then, she just did it. She knew, whatever happened to her, that going to see the king was the right thing to do. It was what God wanted her to do.
Do you need more courage in your life? If so, have someone you trust pray for you. Pray and ask God to give you courage. Trust in God's strength, and experience the thrill of courage!
Want to dig deeper and explore what scripture says about courage? Check out Psalm 27:1, Isaiah 41:13 and 2 Timothy 1:7.
What was the name of the king in this story?
King Xerxes.
Who was Mordecai?
Esther's uncle.
What did Haman want to do to Mordecai?
Hang him from a gallows.
Regardless of where you are, God wants you to be courageous for him. For many of the hardest things God asks you to do, it takes 15 seconds of bravery—the bravery needed to introduce yourself to someone, the bravery needed to ask someone to stop, the bravery needed to get started on a difficult task. Pick one time that you need 15 seconds of bravery. Ask for God's help both to see the task that needs to be done, and the bravery needed to do it. Talk to someone after you have done your brave act.

Australian Dollar's Pain From Trade War May Be Worse After Deal
Bloomberg News,
(Bloomberg) -- Australia has some big decisions to make about its future. For insight into the stories that matter, sign up for our new weekly newsletter.
In the two years since the U.S.-China trade war erupted, Australia's dollar has weakened around 10%. It may drop even further when the dispute is resolved.
The Aussie could slide more than 5% to 65 U.S. cents this year, according to QIC Ltd. and Capital Economics. If Beijing buys more American goods at the expense of Australian products as part of an accord, that's another negative for a currency that's under pressure from slowing economic growth and the prospect of further policy easing.
"Import substitution can definitely be one driver of the Aussie lower," said Stuart Simmons, senior portfolio manager at QIC in Brisbane. "Whether it's liquefied natural gas or tourism or education, we might only get a sense of it in 12 months how this will shape up if China substitutes Australia for U.S. imports."
The Aussie has dropped 1.8% against the dollar so far this year, adding to two years of declines as the trade war hurt the outlook for the nation's exports. The currency slumped to the lowest in a decade in October before recovering some ground after the U.S. and China agreed on a phase-one deal.
The agreement to be signed Wednesday may bind China to the purchase of $200 billion of U.S. goods over two years, according to a South China Morning Post report citing people briefed on the matter. Such a deal may validate an earlier warning from the Reserve Bank of Australia that the nation could be on the losing end once a trade accord is reached.

Australia was China's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas in 2019, providing nearly half of the imports, while deliveries of American cargoes nearly disappeared, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.
To be sure, replacing Aussie imports with American products may take months to play out, with producers on both sides tied into long-term contracts. China is also the biggest source of tertiary students in Australia's international education sector.
"The main area that we would be concerned about will be LNG," said Ben Udy, economist at Capital Economics in Singapore. "That's been a source of growth for Australian exports recently and is a sector that the U.S. produces quite a lot of -- replacing Australia, if it happens, will add some pressure on the Aussie."
--With assistance from James Thornhill and Stephen Stapczynski.

All modern versions of Windows can be easily installed from a USB drive, as long as you have a valid Windows product key. You'll need a USB flash drive that has at least 4 GB of storage. For Windows 7 and Vista, you'll need an installation disc or an ISO image file of the installation disc as well.

About me... I do this blogging thing every now and again. I am not sure if I am even getting it right - but it's an outlet :)
I am passionate about reading and so I write a lot of reviews.
Featured On CTInsider
My accident happened nearly a month ago.. I cannot believe its been so long.. It feels like just the other day.. and yet so much has happened since!
It's a Wednesday – 18 August 2010! I always used to have my riding lessons at ShumbaShaba on Wednesdays…
I got there early.. and I had planned on leading Amber around with another horse..
After speaking to Ren, the plan changed though.. She asked me to ride Missy in the lesson at 16h30 and then she would help me with Amber afterwards.. All good..
I tacked up Missy and put Amber's bridle on.. They are neigh-bours.. lol.. My horsy friend Erina arrives and we get on our respective mounts at the mounting block.. She asks me if I wanna join her for an outride instead of having the lesson..
So plans change.. again.. Not that I mind.. I like outrides and Missy is really nice to ride out 🙂
We on the way out and it is decided that Bee will join us on Flight (the wildest horse at the stable). Neither I nor Erina are too happy but we all set off together..
It went well.. until Flight started playing up and Bee decided to head back to the stables.. Erina and I continued on our own 🙂 Missy was great.. We cantered quite a lot and she was fun to ride..
Back at the stables I meet up with Ren and Sharon – just leaving on an outride.. Ren says I should rather lunge Amber and she will spend some time with me over the weekend.. Agreed..
I take Amber out, leaving Missy in a paddock.. Decide to put them back together.. First Mistake..
Amber lunges herself so well.. I hardly have to do anything.. All I can think about is how I really love this horse.. And I can't wait to ger on her back..
I take off her bridle to let her roll.. Second Mistake..
She doesn't roll.. so my efforts are wasted.. When I try to put the bridle back on her stands on my right foot.. the first time.. hard.. it hurts..
I pretend its not.. The grooms are watching.. I walk her back to her stable.. I ask Luigi (one of the grooms) to help me put the horses back in (IE Missy and Amber).
I walk Amber in.. without taking down the chains between the stables (that incidently I put up to stop the ponies eating all of Amber's teff).. Third Mistake..
Amber doesn't see the chain.. I see red lights flashing!! And there is nothing I can do about it..
She walks straight into then chain.. Gets a fright.. Rears…..
Next thing I am aware of.. I am lying on the floor in the stable.. and Amber is outside with the bridle wrapped around her legs.. I try move.. It hurts.. What hurts.. Everything.. I try stand up.. Takes a while.. Luigi asks me if I am ok.. I nod.. That hurts.. I say something about this was the reason I asked him for help..
Somehow we get both horses in their stables.. The next thing I know they both blanketed.. I walked around a bit.. Can't remember why.. It hurts.. Make my way to the car.. Foot feels like its gonna to break open my boot..
Start the car.. Phone Mark.. Try not to cry.. Start driving.. Cant.. Cry..I tell him what happened.. Mark panics.. Tells me he will come fetch me.. I am stubborn.. Drive home with one foot.. Stupid me..
I get home.. Mark gets home.. Carries me up the stairs.. Takes off my right boot.. Hurts like hell.. Very swollen, very blue, already, very sore..
After some pain killers and a phone call to two of Mark's friends who are advanced paramedics and we decide to go to Sunninghill Hospital..
Checked in.. I am light sensitive.. Mild concussion.. Go for a CAT scan and Xrays and finally get to a ward and go to sleep.. I end up staying there for two days.. And am booked off for the next week..
Moral of the story: Dont make mistakes.. lol.. Wear your helmet at all times.. Including in the stables.. And make sure the path is clear of all obsticles..

Crucial Dallas TX Top Realtors Tactics That Work Well
I completely enjoy being exclusively a SELLER'S AGENT. My focus is aiding individuals to market their houses for the best sales price achievable. As a homeowner's property agent, I have actually concentrated on the fine art of changing every residence to have a look that is gorgeous with, and without, money for renovations.
My uncomplicated emphasis is on the bottom line for the seller which is to offer the residence for the greatest feasible profit within the time preferred.
The main explanation of why I have adored being a homeowner's agent is actually related to the fact that it allows me to make use of a variety of skill-sets that I have actually cultivated over time to achieve a premium end result for my customers. These skill-sets consist of creativity, building knowledge, and local property market conditions as well as real estate patterns.
Purchaser's agents are actually skillful at finding problems in the houses their buyers desire to obtain in order to acquire a lower purchase price.
For me that is actually a more beneficial career selection being specifically a seller's agent due to my certain skills.
I believe it is best for property representatives to focus on the areas that they enjoy the most as well as where their abilities may be used considering that this causes the absolute most satisfying career.
As the HOMEOWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE, I prefer to think of myself as an exceptional "P" negotiator.
I have the product, the passion, the patience, the persistence and, most importantly, the positive, some might even say, powerful, personality. These God-given skill-sets as well as instruction are typically fit quite well to "P" negotiators.
The buyer's representative is commonly a "D" mediator, creating demands, deadlines, and due dates and detecting defects, discrepancies, and deficiencies and demonstrating a deadpan appearance, regularly looking depressed regarding the seller's house, and displaying disappointment, desperation, disenchantment, despondency, and despair.
Of course, this is actually an oversimplified description however I have seen it played out many times. I possess passion concerning the product I am marketing: the house is unique, it is actually "very distinctive." I sound like, and really strongly believe that, I bargain from power, certainly never from a position of weakness.
The buyer's agent bargains from severe weakness, never ever from a position of strength. I am poised and peaceful, and will always appear to possess the time factor on my side.
I understand effective ways to bargain as well as constantly know I will easily out-negotiate a purchaser's representative given that I really have the higher ground with the sun at my back. Mine is a positive type of bargaining whereas the purchaser's representative has to consider desperate, bad, haggling tactics.
The buyer real estate broker's expression of disgruntlement is, usually, the initial sign that I am winning in the negotiations. I get to use my natural favorable personality to be kind to Dallas TX List Of Local Realtors purchaser representatives.
Purchaser real estate brokers usually begin to come around to my way of understanding despite attempting to dislike me at first as an aspect of their "D" negotiation methods.

Your company, iStar is a full-service IT marketing company which provides users with IT solution for businesses. To provide good IT solutions to businesses, the company must have suitable software and hardware to operate. My team and I will help iStar purchase their office equipment based on their requirements. Our focus will be to get the best value for money equipment and spend within the budget of S$200,000.
iStar's home restaurant solution features include website designing, this means the company will have to use applications such as Photoshop, Android Studio and Visual Studio Code just to name a few. All this web designing applications take up a lot of memory and it requires a lot of RAM to run. For web designers, they may be doing many things on the laptop at the same time, such as browsing the web, video calling, designing a website and reading emails.
ASUS Zen Book Pro UX501V
Dell XPS 13
Motherboard and Processor
quad-core 2.6-GHz Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor, boost up to 3.5GHz
dual-core 2.3GHz Intel Core i5-6200U up to 2.8 GHz with Turbo Boost
Memory (RAM AND TYPE)
Hard Disk (Storage and Type)
Display Graphic Card
Nvidia GeForce 960M GPU with 2GB of RAM
Intel UHD Graphics 620
Screen Size
I chose the ASUS Zen Book Pro UX501VW and Dell XPS 13 laptop to compare as both them are suitable to be used by the company. Based on the specifications shown, I would choose the ASUS Zen Book Pro. Here are some comparisons which lead to my conclusion:
Processor: The processor is referred as the 'Brains of the device'. Asus Zen Book Pro has a faster processor than Dell XPS 13 as well as having 2 more cores. Having a laptop with better Processor means that the laptop is able to get jobs done faster. Additionally, having a quad-core, means it is able to run multiple programs at the same time which is more suitable for your employees as they can open many programs which helps them get their work done faster.
Memory: With a Memory of more than 8 GB, users can run necessary applications at the same time without compromising quality. But for even better quality, it would be better to use a memory of 16GB with ASUS provides as the files and applications ran by iStar is rather huge.
Storage: Having 512 GB SSD also means that file transfers will be very fast compared to 256GB SSD which may not be enough for the user in the long run.
Display Graphic Card: Laptops rely on graphics card to have good graphic quality. Asus Zen Book Pro uses Nvidia GeForce 960M and has a GPU with 2GB of RAM which is used in gaming laptops while Dell XPS 13 uses Intel UHD Graphics 620 which has a slower core speed and will affect performance.
Screen Size: As designers, it would be important for the device to have a larger screen size to allow designers to have a better perspective of their work and hence the ASUS Zen Book Pro (15.6) is better than Dell XPS 13 (13.3).
Price of ASUS Zen Book Pro UX501V
1,988 x 20 = S$ 39760
Enterprise servers
A server is a computer used in networking and it provides various services to a client.
I would suggest having 2 servers at each country. One main server used for the following functions: accessing database, file, web and email. And a backup server to prevent files from getting lost. On the main server, a web server serves web pages to clients and it can also parse scripting languages such as PHP, ASP and JSP. A mail server stores users' e-mail accounts and sends and receives e-mail messages. The other server is acts as a backup server in an event of the main server failing to work or crashed. Since we are using a single router for many different functions, it will be necessary to get a server with high memory and storage to deal with heavy traffic to and from the server.
Memory: A server with a RAM of 64GB will be sufficient to enable the server to work quickly and efficiently at delivery information to its clients. With more RAM, it will be easier to perform multiple functions at once with optimum speed and allow for higher traffic flow.
Raid: I will also use raid in my server as it protects data against loss with added level of duplication and it provide higher input speed. There are many levels of raid, with raid 0, 1, 5 and 10 being the more common ones. Raid 10 is a combination of RAID 1 and 0, it combines the mirroring of RAID 1 and stripping of RAID 0. This RAID level gives the best performance, but it is costly. This is the RAID level ideal for highly utilized database servers or any server that's performing many write operations which is suitable for iStar as we are using 1 server for many functions.
Firstly, I will compare 2 servers, PowerEdge T330 Tower Server and HP ProLiantML350 G9 5U tower server with prefixed specifications. After I have decided on one of them, I shall then configure it to suit the company's needs.
Enterprise Servers
and HP ProLiantML350 G9 5U
PowerEdge T330 Tower Server
Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 / 2.10GHz
Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4/ 3.5 GHz
After considerations, I have decided to go with the PowerEdge T330 Tower Server as both servers' specifications are the same and the price is PowerEdge is lower than the price of HP ProLiant 350 G9 5U (S$2842 to S$2920). Furthermore, the processing power of PowerEdge T330 is also better as it has a faster clock speed. I shall now do my configurations on PowerEdge T330 Tower Server for it to be used efficiently in iStar.
Enterprise Servers
PowerEdge T330 Tower Server
Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 / 3.5GHz
S$7081.80 x 6 = S$42490.80
Storage: I have made several calculations before I have decided on using a storage size of 5.76TB. If iStar has 500,000 client files being backed up at a time and using 1000 bytes per files, the total amount of data which belongs to the client is 1.8GB. After calculating the number of cached files, copy storage-pool files, active-data pool files and deduplicated files, the total of database space for the client is about 3.5GB. Let's take that iStar has 500 clients in each country. This will mean that the total amount of data base size for each server in each country will be roughly 1.7TB. Adding up mail, web and file, it will have added up to roughly 2.5TB. Using 5.76TB will be sufficient enough for the server and it can be used long term as well.

Samsung Galaxy Note5
HTC one m9
Octa-core (4×2.1 GHz Cortex-A57 & 4×1.5 GHz Cortex-A53)

Non-removable Li-Po 3000 mAh talk time: 22h (3g)
Non-removable Li-Ion 2150 mAh
talk time: 16h (3G)
$ 330
Based on my comparisons and the requirements, I have decided to choose the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as firstly, it has a longer battery life with longer talk time which enables users to use their phone on the move. Note 5 has higher CPU and RAM then HTC one m9 hence it will be faster and more efficient in running many applications and large apps at the same time. Note 5 is also able to store more data as it has 64GB compared to 32GB in HTC one m9, so users do not have to have SD card for extra storage since 64GB is sufficient. With better specifications and lower price, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is definitely the better choice over HTC one m9.
Price of Samsung Galaxy Note 5
330 x 6 = $1980
Operating System
For the operating system of the laptops, I have decided to compare 2 of the more popular Operating System and they are Window 10 pro and macOS Sierra.
Windows 10 pro is a user-friendly operating system as everything can be done within a few clicks. Furthermore, the user interface of Windows 10 pro is easier to use compared to other OS which makes it simple for new users to adjust to its interface. Windows is a worldwide known OS while Linux is not commonly known to people. Windows has a wide ecosystem and with that, it supports much more software and hardware than Linux. Users may not be able to use some applications due to its compatibility if they were to use Linux.
Security wise, it is much better to use Windows 10 pro as it comes with a bit locker. With bit locker, users can encrypt and protect the drive their Windows operating system is stored on, which prevents hackers from being able to access potentially vulnerable system files. This is crucial as if hackers retrieve these information, they might be able to gather information of the company and plan an attack on it. developers are constantly upgrading its system and there are also many anti-virus and security software which users can download. Although Linux does not have much reports of it being attacked, its security system is not updated as frequently as Windows.
When just using a new laptop with Linux, users have to install Linux distributions themselves unlike windows where by it is pre-installed by the Manufacturers.
Enterprise Server
I have chosen 2 Operating System, Windows Server 2016 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server to compare as I feel that these two are one of the better server OS used currently. I have chosen to use Red Hat Linux as:
More stable – Linux is well known for their ability of running for years without breaking down which is great for enterprises as it will be very rare for their system to crash.
Security – Linux was designed such that it is a multiuser operating system. Only the root user has administrative privileges and less permissions granted to other users. This keeps the system protected and secure. Besides that, Linux also has fewer cases of being attacked by viruses and malware compared to windows server.
Efficiency – Linux is able to run many processes together at once better than Windows such is a strong factor of which why I choose Linux Red Hat over Windows Servers. The servers I plan to get for iStar is going to run the role of 4 servers: database, file, mail and web server. Hence, the operating system must be good and efficient in running multiple programs at the same time.
The price of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server cost S$450 for 1 user, multiplying that by 20 users will cost S$9000 for a year of subscription.
Software for mobile device
Operating system
For the operating system for the mobile devices, I would use Android over iOS. There are several reasons which made me decide to choose Android such as:
Flexibility: Android allows for much more applications for the management staff, compared to IOS that is very restricted and limited. By plugging an Android phone into a PC, it acts like a hard drive which allows users to copy, view and delete files, just like a USB flash drive. This makes it very convenient for file transfer between laptop and phone and can save a lot of time compared to only being able to use iTunes for file transfer between iOS and laptop.
Security: Although there are more security issues on Android, with the importing of third party APIs, this can be easily managed with the amount of anti-virus software that it provides. iOS, on the other hand is more secure and is well known for its privacy, however, it may not be able to have access to as many antivirus app as Android unless it is jailbroken.
It would be good for the management team to have apps to help them with their jobs such as improving communications within the organization. I would recommend an app called ASANA as it helps users improve communication and collaboration. It allows you to view all tasks and projects and follow progress on the interface. Sharing of notes, uploading of files as well as communications can also be done without relying on email. The price of Asana is S$13.00 per member a year, so if all 20 staffs uses ASANA, it will cost S$13 x 6 = S$78 a year for all the staffs of iStar.
Office software suite
As for the office software suite, I have decided to compare between Microsoft Office and LibreOffice.
Microsoft Office business
After much considerations, I have decided to go with Microsoft as it is more suited for iStar's requirement. There are several reasons why Microsoft Office is better.
Accessibility: It allows users to work anywhere as long as they have internet connection as it is a cloud-based system. Users can access their email, files and programs from any location and with any device. This will be useful for the management team as they will be on their phones most of the time and they are likely to receive many files and emails from clients. Due to the fact that they are usually travelling, it will be good for them as they can work from anywhere, hence it will not restrain productivity.
Collaboration: Microsoft office has a feature which allows teams to work together. Everyone in the team will be able to update and review and get real-time changes of their work at the same time without being together in the same place. Furthermore, users can share direct access to their files rather than sending them as attachments, which means people can make changes to the same file rather than having multiple copies which will take up plenty of space on their storage.
Security: Microsoft Office has many built in security features to keep data safe and protected, such as:
Encrypted email: this feature will keep anyone other than the user from reading their email which keeps iStar's data protected.
Data loss prevention: this feature checks and prevents sensitive information from leaving iStar via email.
Mobile Device Management: Having this feature allows iStar's employees to delete data from their phones in an event if their devices go missing. This prevents people from gaining access to iStar's information which protects the organization.
Advanced Threat Analytics: this feature uses analytics and machine to detect and alert users from suspicious behaviors on their network. Even better, it scans emails for malicious links and attachments. Once it detects something wrong, it will prevent the malicious attachment from being received by the user. This is a great security as it prevents data breaches.
Price: Although Microsoft office is much more expensive then LibreOffice, it provides so much more services and features which is far better than LibreOffice. These includes: Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and OneDrive. All these apps and the features mentioned above is able to benefit iStar's employees greatly and it is definitely worth the money to get Microsoft office.
To recap what my team and I have decided to get for iStar, we have calculated that we will spent below the budget of S$200,000 and we have decided on the following items:
Laptop: ASUS Zen Book Pro UX501V
With a quad core processor, 16GB DDR4 memory and 512GB SSD memory, it is simply the fastest and most efficient laptop for the employees of iStar at a great price of S$1988.
Total price of laptop = S$ 39760
Enterprise Server: PowerEdge T330 Tower Server
T330 runs with a fast processor with a speed of 3.5GHz. In addition to its fast processing speed, it also has 64GB of memory which allows it to run multiple functions at one time. Its large storage of 5.76TB SSD will ensure that data is kept well, and file transfers will be much faster with SSD. My team suggest 6 routers, 2 at each country. 1 server is the main server and the other is the backup server.
Total Price: S$7081.80 x 6 = S$42490.80
Mobile Device
Mobile device: Samsung Note 5
A phone which is way better then the price you pay for, note 5 has a 64GB memory with a 4GB RAM which is more than sufficient in phones. What's better is that the phone only cost S$330 which is a great deal.
Total Price S$330 x 6 = S$ 1980
As for the software, we chose window 10 pro for the laptop's operating system, red hat enterprise Linux server and Android for the OS of mobile devices.
My team also suggested downloading an application called ASANA for better communications among the team of management crew.
Lastly, using Microsoft Office business is ideal for iStar as it has many features.
The total cost of all the software will be: S$16,058
After adding the hardware with the software, the total price would be a total of S$100,288.

[T]he conspiracy scammed American citizens out of over $1 million. Otuya acted as a "catcher," one of the individuals responsible for quickly withdrawing fraudulently obtained funds from bank accounts where the victims deposited their funds. Otuya used fake passports to open nine different bank accounts in false names in Austin and often structured his withdrawals to amounts under $10,000 so as to avoid bank reporting requirements. Otuya would then send the money to co-conspirators before the victim attempted to recover their funds. Otuya was paid a fee for the fraud proceeds that flowed through his accounts. Court records indicated that multiple victims faced serious financial hardship as a result of these schemes and that one of the victims who sent money to Otuya took her own life after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars and being emotionally devastated by a romance scam. Court records indicate that Otuya faces likely deportation back to Nigeria as a result of this conviction.
Morgan Stanley Broker Fined And Suspended For NSF Wires Into His Personal Account (BrokeAndBroker.com Blog)
Embedded in popular culture is the dubious moral proposition that "ya do what ya gotta do." This mind-set often manifests itself when we decide that something is "wrong" but immediately follow that thought with "but." And don't even pretend that you haven't come to that threshold at various points in your life and stepped over. Some of us quickly step back. Others stand still. Others move further into the darkness to a place from which there is no return. In a recent FINRA regulatory settlement, we got a guy who sent wires from one of his bank accounts to another at a time when he didn't have covering funds. This bit of financial sleight-of-hand got him fired by his employer. Then it got him fined and suspended by Wall Street's self regulator. BrokeAndBroker.com Blog publisher Bill Singer doesn't excuse or defend the stockbroker. That much is clear. Bill does ask some uncomfortable questions and provides a number of unsettling answers.
