in 300 words, Do you think the Bible outlines a particular economic system? If so, what does it look like? If not, do you think the Bible is completely neutral on the subject or does it lean more in one particular direction than another (e.g. toward a free enterprise system or a socialistic system)? Be sure to include some specific biblical texts in your discussion.

Assume these facts as true. Sen Loeffler attended the above described hearing chaired by Sen. Burr. When she returned home that evening, she told her husband about the hearing. Her husband is Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. The next day, without telling his wife, he sold $3.5 million worth of stock jointly owned with his wife. He saved $600,000.00 in losses by selling his stock then. Was Sen Loeffler or her husband an “insider”? Did either of them violate the insider trading laws? Argue one way or the other.

Imagine you have been contracted to consult on the recent
developments at the Featherfall Medical Center. Featherfall has
been struggling of late; it has had a series of problems that have
prompted your hiring. It has faced the following issues:
1. Featherfall has recently violated several government regulations
regarding the current state of its technology and how it is being
used. The technology system is vastly out of date, and staff are
not always using the technology that is in place or they are using
the technology inappropriately. These problems have lost the
institution lots of money for not meeting government regulations
and have caused operational and ethical problems from inefficient
and ineffective use of technology.
2. The staff at Featherfall are not well-trained on the use of
technology and do not communicate appropriately about technology
use. The roles that pertinent to your consult are the health
information management team, the clinical staff (doctors, nurses,
etc.), and administrative staff. The health information management
team uses proper coding practices, and the current technology
system serves them well, despite its age. However, other roles in
the hospital have had issues with the system. Clinical staff, for
instance, have had record-keeping issues both due to lack of
training on the system and the system itself being out of date.
Administrative staff within the organization have taken issue with
the lack of communication about the technology and its use between
the various roles. When the current technology system was chosen
many years ago, the needs of these various roles were not
considered.
Preparation for Consult: In this section of your final project, you will prepare for your consultation on the organization’s technology choice. To prepare, you will analyze the field of health information management for determining standard technologies and guidelines related to technology use in order to inform your technology selection.
A. Analyze key historical events in the field of health informatics for how technology has been used that could inform the management of health information. Be sure to support your response with appropriate examples.
B. Determine guidelines for technology use in the field of health information management that Featherfall could implement. Be sure to support your response with research.
C. Determine the standard technologies currently used in the field of health information management. Be sure to support your response with research. For example, what record-keeping technologies are typically used in the field?
D. Develop an overview of how the pertinent roles described at Featherfall would interact with technology.
E. Describe the process you would use to evaluate new health information technology systems. Be sure that your process will evaluate new systems based on how they meet the needs of the organization and how they are compliant with health regulations and laws.
I am having trouble finding the answers and also with finding reliable sources for the answers for the citations.

A retired couple supplement their income by making fruit pies,
which they sell to a local grocery store. During the month of
September, they produce apple and grape pies. The apple pies are
sold for $1.40 to the grocer, and the grape pies are sold for
$1.25. The couple is able to sell all of the pies they produce
owing to their high quality. They use fresh ingredients. Flour and
sugar are purchased once each month. For the month of September,
they have 1,150 cups of sugar and 1,800 cups of flour. Each apple
pie requires 1½ cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour, and each grape
pie requires 2 cups of sugar and 3 cups of flour.
a. Determine the number of grape and the number of
apple pies that will maximize revenues if the couple working
together can make an apple pie in 8 minutes and a grape pie in 2
minutes. Together, they plan to work no more than 45 hours.
