“I don't have time to network.” “There's no way I can spend time at all the events people tell me I should go to.” Does this ring true for you? If so, consider this: Networking doesn't just happen when you take time out of your busy schedule to appear at an official “networking” event. In fact, networking can happen anytime, anywhere. Every minute you're around other human beings is a chance to network. Self-made billionaires are known for their tendency to network everywhere and all the time ' on the golf course, but also at the doctor's office, at the health club, or on a plane.
Now, I'm far from being a billionaire, but planes have always been one of my favorite places to network. Admittedly, chances of success increase when you're in business or first class, but you never know. Quite a few business moguls make it a point of honor to travel coach, and many companies have policies that require their executives to fly coach on short distances. Some flights simply have no assigned seating, which was the case on the Delta Shuttle I took from New York to Boston a few months ago.
As I boarded that flight, I let my eyes scan over the seated passengers. On these flights, I often board last, so as to have the most choice in seating companions. I selected my flight neighbor: Wearing a suit (presumably a business person), sitting alone (easier to approach), and reading a book (as opposed to huddling over a laptop or report). After a few tries, the conversation took off. As it turned out, the gentleman was a Managing Director from of my target companies. A few follow-up e-mails later, we had lunch. Over the following weeks, I introduced him to a few contacts of mine who could help him expand his network. Three months later, he arranged a private lunch for me with his company's national manager, whose division happened to need my services.

With each successive large-scale cyber attack, it is slowly becoming clear that ransomware attacks are targeting the critical infrastructure of the most powerful country on the planet. Understanding the strategy, and tactics of our opponents, as well as the strategy and the tactics we implement as a response are vital to victory.
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
UCC Sections 9406(d) and 9408(a) are one of the most powerful, yet least understood, sections of the Uniform Commercial Code. On their face, they appear to override anti-assignment provisions in agreements that would limit the grant of a security interest. But do these sections really work?
