Key steps in developing a project schedule
Project plan is produced during the planning phase. Although planning starts much earlier – even during the concept phase and requirements definition, the plan cannot be finalized until reasonable estimates of schedule and costs are made. The project plan is the formal document that guides execution of a project. Planning occurs through a project, that is, the planning process is dynamic and ongoing and many planning processes will be repeated during the design and execution phases as changes are made in the project.
Many problems can occur in a project if insufficient time is spent planning; the purpose of planning is to prevent those problems from occurring. causes of poor planning may include estimates that are poorly done, exception handling that is grossly misunderstood; requirements that are incomplete, changing or not understood; technical complexity that is misunderstood; old code content that is not known; new requirements that are added or sneaked into the plan; dictated constraints; and inadequate time to do a project job.
Estimating is the bridge from the work break down structure to planning schedules, costs and resources. The basic process of estimating applies to the wide variety of estimates needed in projects, including time estimates for scheduling, cost estimates for budgeting and personnel and equipment estimates for planning resources.
Scheduling a project requires both a scientific and an artistic touch. It requires a scientific touch because the schedule has to reflect the work breakdown structure tasks in a logical and interrelated way to optimize resources across the organization. Scheduling requires an artistic touch because tasks not only are technically dependent ot interrelated but are often politically driven, thus requiring finesse and interpersonal skill.

Terrorist attacks and threats form a substantial concern to both airport security and national security
Terrorist attacks and threats form a substantial concern to both airport security and national security. The threats of these attacks come in different forms of execution and complexity. Detection of the dynamic nature of the terrorists and their ever-changing tactics provides a challenge to airport security stakeholders. Despite the technological advancements and surveillance, aircraft hijacking still remains barely undetectable (Tibi, 2003). In this advanced technology era, could modern surveillance and monitoring be used to detect and identify hijacking plans before they happen?
First, hijacking airplanes has previously been used by terrorists with one of the most prominent occurrences being the 9-11 attack in the US (Klenka, 2019). This kind of attack still remains a great risk to airlines and airports due to the difficulty in detection (Hub & Komenda, 2017). Aircraft hijacking could be conducted using the simplest weapons like human strength whereas a large extend of airport security is focused on the detection of weapons and harmful substances. However, the security systems cannot detect a would-be aircraft hijacker.
Although other forms of surveillance like social media monitoring could aid in identifying terrorism planning and targets, the likely event of a lone wolf operator or a group of operators with minimal online footprint could be undetectable. They may not fit the stereotypes of a terrorist while boarding but cause massive destruction and harm if they use the “air-borne” aircraft as a weapon of massive destruction.

The administration that oversees the transportation of firearms is the same one that’s overseeing tobacco and alcohol transportation as well,
the ATF or U.S. Treasury Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, unlike common belief, it’s still allowed for some firearms to be transported through air, examples are firearms used for hunting or sports. as of April 11th, 2006 a bill that encapsulates everything about the ATF transportation was introduced, Title 27 CFR of the ATF Regulations, stating that firearms have to be unloaded and be put in a cargo placement, and requiring official law enforcement personnel to inspect it and put tags on the carry cases of the firearm. laws differ from state to state so doing research prior to checking-in a firearm(going along with the rules of the law) would be convenient both for the traveler and the local law enforcements.
Carrying a firearm in the airplane is strictly prohibited, even a concealed carry, however, it is allowed in some parts of the airports, depending on the state, of course, sterile areas are still prohibited.

Consent, Confidentiality, and Privileged Communication
Consent, Confidentiality, and Privileged Communication can be tricky concepts in the profession of counseling particularly when working with minors. FIRST, define each term. SECOND, review the two vignettes below address points A and B below. I expect you all to have healthy debate around these issues.
You may need to review laws in the state where you hope to practice as the “age of consent” may vary by state based on the chronological age of the child and/or the reason why they are seeking treatment.
1. Susie (16-years-old) and Susie’s parents came in to discuss treatment with LMFT Mark. LMFT Mark reviewed his standard informed consent with both Susie and her parents, including a section on confidentiality which briefly mentioned reasons for a breach of confidentiality including “harm to self.” After the third session, Susie admitted to LMFT Mark that she was sexually active with a few different people in her high school, and that she smoked marijuana on weekends. LMFT Mark determined that this did not rise to the level of “harm to self” worthy of a breach of confidentiality but instead he would work with her clinically. After the fifth session, she told LMFT Mark that she had been “cutting” but never near an artery. LMFT Mark again determined not to breach confidentiality. After the seventh session, Susie told LMFT Mark that she had been drinking heavily, and had started blacking out at parties, waking up in strange beds (clearly having had sexual intercourse). LMFT Mark decided to tell Susie’s parents about the drinking and blackouts.
2. LMFT Mable has been seeing Davey (5-years-old) for almost a year. Throughout the treatment, Davey has talked about his relationship with his parents and how their divorce makes him sad. Davey has indicated that while he loves his Mom, he likes spending time with his Dad more because his Dad doesn’t yell at him as much and Mom seems to always “be out.” Recently, Mom has called LMFT Mable and asked for a copy of Davey’s file so she can “use it in the custody battle.” LMFT Mable is not sure whether she is legally mandated to turn over the file to Mom. Also, she recently received a subpoena from Dad’s attorney for Davey’s file. LMFT Mable is not sure if she can legally or clinically should turn over the files.
A. Discuss whether or not, in your opinion, the therapist’s conduct is appropriate in the context of any and all laws, regulations, and ethical standards that may apply.
B. Explore any other options that are available to the therapist and any potential consequences of those options. Indicate what you believe to be the best course of action, in light of the applicable laws, regulations, and ethical standards.
Laws Concerning Carrying Concealed Firearms on Campus in Texas
According to Texas Penal Code § 46.03(f) an individuals are prohibited from intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possessing or going with a firearm on the physical premises of a school or educational institution, any grounds or building on which an activity sponsored by a school or educational institution is being conducted, or in a passenger transportation vehicle of a school or educational institution, whether the school or educational institution is public or private, unless pursuant to written regulations or written authorization of the institution. Concealed weapons permit holders are subject to this prohibition with the following exceptions.
Effective Dates: August 1, 2016 for all state 4-year colleges and universities; August 1, 2017 for all state 2-year and junior colleges.
The new Texas law will permit individuals who have obtained a concealed handgun license (CHL) to carry their loaded, concealed weapon in college and university buildings. Each college and university may determine certain sensitive areas and buildings* where concealed weapons will continue to be prohibited. Each college and university must publicly display campus policies on the official school website, as well as widely publicizing it among correspondence with the institution’s faculty, staff, and students. Previous laws permitting the concealed carry with a license on open campus grounds and in locked vehicles in parking lots will remain unchanged (see note 2 below).
*The sensitive areas will first be determined by the institution and will include representatives from the student body, faculty, and staff. Once the sensitive areas are approved by this committee, they will be sent to the Board of Regents for a 2/3 vote for approval.
Do you agree or disagree with allowing people to carry concealed handguns on public college and university campuses? Why or why not?
2. When it comes to “sensitive areas” according to the law above, identify at least one area where should handguns be prohibited on a public or university campus and explain why. You must identify at least one area.
How is this topic related to the individualistic and traditionalistic political cultures in Texas?
Do you agree with campus carry? Why or why not?
Identify at least one area on campus that should be labeled as a “sensitive area” in accordance with the law. You must identify at least one area.
Your answer needs to be no less than 300 words. You must answer all questions completely.
