Kent Hovind
From non-creationists
Prior to his convictions, Hovind debated atheists, non-YEC Christians, skeptics, and scientists. In May 2004, Michael Shermer debated Hovind in front of a predominantly creationist audience. In Shermer's online reflection, while claiming he won the debate with intellectual and scientific evidence, he felt it was "not an intellectual exercise," but rather it was "an emotional drama." While receiving positive responses from creationist observers, Shermer concluded "Unless there is a subject that is truly debatable with a format that is fair, in a forum that is balanced, it only serves to belittle both the magisterium of science and the magisterium of religion." Others, like evolutionary biologist Massimo Pigliucci, have debated Hovind, and have expressed surprise at Hovind's ignorance of evolutionary theory. Pigliucci indicated surprise at hearing Hovind try "to convince the audience that evolutionists believe humans came from rocks" and at Hovind's assertion that biologists believe humans "evolved from bananas." In addition, William Reville, Biochemist and Director of Microscopy at University College Cork, wrote about Hovind, explaining "Creation science is not science. Science is based on ideas that are testable. What the creationists believe is not rational, but it cannot be disproved."
Hovind was criticized for his involvement with Arkansas state Representative Jim Holt's Anti-Evolution Bill in 2001 (House Bill 2548). This bill "would have required that when public schools refer to evolution that it be identified as an unproven theory." Some politicians claimed this bill "would have made Arkansas a laughingstock." Holt called upon Hovind as an expert who "testified for Holt before the State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee, alleging much of the information pertaining to evolution in our science textbooks is false." As for the legislation, "Holt admitted much of the information in his bill came from Jonathan Wells' Icons of Evolution."
Critics charge that Kent Hovind's presentations on creation and evolution are a mix of Christian Fundamentalism and conspiracy theories. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has criticized Hovind because of his selling of books such as Des Griffin's Fourth Reich of the Rich and Peter Kershaw's In Caesar's Grip, and recommending The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a well-known antisemitic hoax. The SPLC reported that Hovind accuses Darwinism of having produced "Communism, Socialism, Nazism, abortion, liberalism and the New Age Movement." It also quotes Hovind as claiming that "democracy is evil and contrary to God's law." In response to criticism, Hovind has stated: "I love the Jews. But The Protocols of Zion [sic] was written to explain how to control the world, I mean, it lays it all out. But it’s really carefully done so that if it is ever discovered the Jews take the blame for it."
The SPLC also criticized Hovind for "point[ing] his followers to Citizens Rule Book, popular among antigovernment "Patriots"; Media Bypass, an antigovernment magazine with strong antisemitic leanings"; and books by tax protester Irwin Schiff" (Schiff has since been convicted and sentenced to 13 years in prison).
Sementara Kent Hovind berada di dalam penjara, Eric meneruskan pengoperasian CSE dan menerima sejumlah kritikan mengenai kesalahan-kesalahan dalam klaim-klaimnya. Biologist PZ Myers criticized Eric and CSE employee Jonathon Sampson for their comments on cephalopods, writing "We do have explanations of cephalopod evolution" and "they lack the intelligence to grasp it." In his criticism, Myers criticized Hovind for failing to look up the evolutionary scholarship on cephalopods and linked to his blog article on cephalopod evolution.
Politics and conspiracies
Hovind has made controversial remarks regarding conspiracies, science, creation, equal rights, religion, and government over the years. Hovind's creationist presentations have asserted that the reason creationism based on the Genesis creation narrative is not taught in public schools is tied to "an international conspiracy" of "'The New World Order' (NWO) consisting of Ted Turner and his wife Jane Fonda, the British Royal Family, the State of Israel, the American Civil Liberties Union, and a smattering of former and present US government officials, business leaders, and social activists (particularly those advocating population control) — shades of the Trilateral Commission." In May 1999, he claimed "the implementation of the NWO's world-domination plan was May 5, 2000."
Hovind has several conspiracy theories about the U.S. government. He believes that the cyanide-releasing compound Laetrile is a "cancer cure" and argues that the US government is conspiring to suppress a cure for cancer. On his radio program, he has said that the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks, killing nearly 3000 people and that a "lot of folks were told not to come to work." He also believes the Oklahoma City bombing was carried out by the government. "Did you know the Federal Government blew up their own building to blame it on the militias and to get rid of some people that weren't cooperating with the system?" Regarding UFOs, Hovind recommends books by conspiracy theorists who believe "some UFO’s are U.S. Government experiments with electrogravitic propulsion as opposed to jet propulsion, while others are Satanic apparitions." Additionally, Hovind believes that the Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations, the United Nations, and various other groups are planning to create a one world government and that the 1993 World Trade Center attack was staged by the US Government in order to pass "anti-terrorism" legislation that restricts civil liberties. He says, "I love my country, but fear my government. And you should too." He also believes there is no such thing as the separation of church and state, and opposes public schools. Hovind has also alleged that there is a conspiracy surrounding taxes, the New World Order, and communism, while he promotes tax protesting. Hovind wrote "Although it is tempting for me to go off on a tangent from my creation ministry and spend much time warning people of the communist origin (Karl Marx thought it up in 1848 and pro communists Colonel E. House, Roosevelt, Rockefeller and Sen. Nelson Aldrich implemented it in 1913.) and unconstitutional nature (it violates the 4th, 5th, 13th and 14th amendments) of the current tax system, I will resist that temptation and leave it to others to fight that battle." Hovind further alleged "I sincerely believe that I am not a person required to file a Federal Income Tax Return. This belief is a result of extensive research that I have done." On obeying tax laws, he argued "Some will say the Bible teaches us to obey the authority over us. I agree and I do. The IRS is not the authority over me any more than the government of Japan is." Hovind further offered information and resources for people to avoid paying taxes by claiming to not be residents of the United States.
As part of his "one world government" conspiracy theory, Hovind also believes that the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), HIV, West Nile virus, Gulf war syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, Wegener's disease, Parkinson's disease, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's were all engineered by "the money masters and governments of the world" for the purpose of global economic domination. Hovind believes "Satan has been using the great pyramid as his symbol for the New World Order" and that "the Great Pyramid could have been built by Adam's relatives" He believes that the United States government is secretly plotting to implant an "electronic ID" microchip in the body of every US citizen, which is the Mark of the Beast. The aim, he believes, is to put "a chip into each of the major muscles and network them together so that a paralyzed person would be able to get some movement from their muscles" so that there "is going to be a system where you cannot buy or sell without the mark in the hands or in the forehead." Yet, the mechanisms and history of such a project do not withstand scientific and historical scrutiny.
Regarding barcodes and the security strip on money, Hovind stated they are tied to a government plot in which barcodes and the "magnetic tape through the center of the paper" money "is of the same type that is on the back of your credit card" for tracking money and people. Thus, the government "want[s] to be able to track the money and find out where it goes." Hovind has also stated an opposition to democracy, saying: "If Evolution is true, there is no Creator, so laws come from man's opinion. That is called a democracy, which is a terrible form of government. Democracies always degenerate into dictatorships. In America, it is sad to say, has become a democracy." Hovind also stated: "democracy is evil and contrary to God's law" and "democracy is a horrible form of government." While speaking at Kent State University on an invite from Truth in Love Ministry, Hovind said about protesting evolution, "You should have another rebellion here at Kent State and do it for the right reason," but "This time, don't get shot."
Hovind subsequently released a set of videos entitled "Answering the Critics" filmed in December 2003 where Hovind and his younger son Eric replied to some critics and addressed some of his controversial remarks, claims, and arguments.
Science
Hovind believes all findings of science will eventually be found to agree with Scripture – which he says is a priori known to be true. He claims that scientists also have an a priori assumption, namely that God does not exist (or at least not one that performed special creation).
Hovind tells his audiences, "Evolution is the foundation for communism, nazism, socialism, Marxism and those who want a one-world government." He maintains that biology textbooks are lying and that he considers evolution to be a religion supported by false evidence that is used to brainwash youth. He claims, "Satan is using evolution theory to make kids go to hell." Hovind claims he is not trying to eliminate evolution from schools, but says "schools should teach both viewpoints." He has claimed that everything is a religion, including mathematics. Hovind disregards all fossil evidence, saying that "no fossils can count as evidence for evolution" because "all we know about that animal is that it died", and we do not know that it "had any kids, much less different kids." In regards to different races, Hovind believes the best explanation for the origin of races is that "all families, countries, nations, and tongues were created or developed from" the Tower of Babel Bible story (Genesis 10:20). In 2000, he alleged "global warming is a communist conspiracy."
During a debate with Farrell Till, Hovind made the following statement about Donald Johanson: "[He] found the leg bones of Lucy a mile and a half away from the head bones. The leg bones were 200 feet deeper in a deeper layer of strata. I would like to know how fast the train was going that hit that chimpanzee." This was clearly contrary to the published statements of Donald Johanson. After Hovind had been informed in 1993 that his statement was false, he agreed to stop using the claim but continued to make the statement. When he was again corrected in 1995, he agreed that he was in error, promised not to repeat the claim, and said he would remove it from his audio tapes.
Kontroversi copyright YouTube
On September 16, 2007, Wired reported, "YouTube has banned a group called the Rational Response Squad (RRS) after it complained its videos were being taken down due to spurious DMCA requests" from Creation Science Evangelism. Furthermore, while the article noted the lack of "any kind of review" with a DMCA request is a problem, CSE's own website said that "none of the materials ... are copyrighted, so feel free to copy these and distribute them freely." CSE later said that for some of the videos they may not have had copyright claims. In response to the copyright claims, the RRS has posted a message stating it is ready to sue CSE and/or Eric Hovind.
Five days later, on September 21, 2007, the CSE copyright page was changed to say that their material may be copied but must be unedited. Previously, Hovind's website stated, "None of the materials produced by Creation Science Evangelism are copyrighted". According to a spokesperson for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a group dedicated to preserving free speech on the internet, CSE's claim was "clearly bogus". As of September 25, 2007, some of the videos had been put back up and the Rational Response Squad's accounts had been reinstated.
Property taxes and zoning ordinance
On September 13, 2002, Hovind was charged for failure to observe county zoning regulations with respect to Dinosaur Adventure Land. Despite arguments that the owners did not need a permit due to the nature of the building, the park was found in violation of local regulations.
After a 5-year misdemeanor court battle over the $50 building permit, on June 5, 2006, Hovind pled nolo contendere as charged to three counts: constructing a building without a permit, refusing to sign a citation, and violating the county building code. Hovind was ordered to pay $225 per count. That month Hovind complied with the county law: Hovind estimated he spent $40,000 in legal expenses on this case, but, in a 2002 CSE newsletter, Hovind requested donations stating that the costs approached $100,000.
Federal civil tax matters, bankruptcy, and renouncing citizenship (1996–2006)
Creation Science Evangelism is not listed as a tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service, nor is it considered a church by people who work there. The ministry's organizational structure was described by the United States Tax Court as appearing to be "based on various questionable trust documents purchased from Glen Stoll, a known promoter of tax avoidance schemes", leading it to conclude that Hovind used these trust documents as well as other fraudulent means to conceal the ownership and control of his activities and properties.
Hovind was originally reported to the IRS by Pensacola Christian College senior vice president Rebekah Horton in the mid 1990s, after she learned of Hovind's anti-tax stand.
In 1996 Hovind filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition to avoid paying federal income taxes, claiming he was not a citizen of the United States and that he did not earn income. Hovind was found to have lied about his possessions and income. He claimed that as a minister of God everything he owns belonged to God and he is not subject to paying taxes to the United States on the money he received for doing God's work. The court ordered him to pay the money, upheld the IRS's determination that Hovind's claim "was filed in bad faith for the sole purpose of avoiding payment of federal income taxes" and called Hovind's arguments "patently absurd". It also noted that "the IRS has no record of the debtor ever having filed a federal income tax return," although this was not the court's reason for denying the bankruptcy claim. On June 5, 1996, the Court dismissed Hovind's bankruptcy case.
On May 13, 1998, Hovind and his wife filed a "Power of Attorney and Revocation of Signature" document with the Escambia County Clerk of Courts which would nullify any of their promises, debts, or legal agreements made prior to April 15, 1998. The document reads, in part: "I/we do hereby revoke and make void... all signatures on any instruments...". The Hovinds claimed they had signed government documents "due to the use of various elements of fraud and misrepresentations, duress, coercion, under perjury, mistake, 'bankruptcy'." In this document, the Hovinds argue that Social Security is essentially a "Ponzi scheme", referred to the United States Government as "the 'bankrupt' corporate government", renounced their United States citizenship and Social Security numbers to become "a natural citizen of 'America' and a natural sojourner", and referred to their home state of Florida as "the State of Florida Body-Politic Corporation." Judges and the IRS did not appear to honor this as a legally relevant document in future decisions.
In 2002, Hovind was again delinquent in paying his taxes, and unsuccessfully sued the IRS for harassment.
In 2004, IRS agents raided Hovind's home and business to confiscate financial records. IRS agent Scott Schneider said Hovind's businesses had neither business licenses nor tax-exempt status and stated that "Since 1997, Hovind has engaged in financial transactions indicating sources of income and has made deposits to bank accounts well in excess of $1 million per year during some of these years, which would require the filing of federal income taxes." On June 3, 2004, the IRS filed notices of Federal tax liens of $504,957.24 against Hovind and his son and their businesses due to previous legal maneuverings to evade taxation by moving property between himself, his son, and other legal entities.
On July 7, 2006, the United States Tax Court (Docket number 011894-05L) found that Hovind was deficient in paying his federal income taxes in tax years 1995–97 in the amount of $504,957.24. The Tax Court ruled that the IRS had a valid, perfected lien on Hovind's property in that amount and noted that Hovind's defense was based on "bizarre arguments", "some of which constitute tax protester arguments involving excise taxes and the alleged '100% voluntary' nature of the income tax." Starting in 2006, the IRS began levying against Hovind's property to satisfy his unpaid tax liabilities.
Federal criminal tax-related trial and convictions in 2006
On July 11, 2006, Hovind was charged in the District Court in Northern Florida in Pensacola with twelve counts of willful failure to collect, account for, and pay over federal income taxes and FICA taxes, forty-five counts of knowingly structuring transactions in federally insured financial institutions to evade reporting requirements, and one count of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the administration of the internal revenue laws. Twelve of the charges were for failing to pay employee-related taxes, totaling $473,818, and 45 of the charges were for evading reporting requirements by making multiple cash withdrawals just under the $10,000 reporting requirement (a technique known as "smurfing"). The withdrawals, totaling $430,500, were made in 2001 and 2002. Jo Delia Hovind, his wife, faced 44 charges.
The government charged that Hovind falsely listed the IRS as his only creditor in his bankruptcy, filed a false and frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in which he demanded damages for criminal trespass, made threats of harm to those investigating him and to those who might consider cooperating with the investigation, filed a false complaint against IRS agents investigating him, filed a false criminal complaint against IRS special agents (criminal investigators), and destroyed records.
After being indicted, Hovind claimed incomprehension to the charges, telling the court: "I still don't understand what I'm being charged for and who is charging me." Magistrate Miles Davis asked Hovind if he wrote and spoke English, to which Hovind responded "To some degree". Davis replied that the government adequately explained the allegations and the defendant understands the charges "whether you want to admit it or not." Hovind stated that he did not recognize the government's right to try him on tax-fraud charges. At first he attempted to enter a plea of "subornation of false muster," but then entered a not guilty plea "under duress" when the judge offered to enter a plea for him.
At the time of the arrest Hovind's passport and guns were seized. Hovind protested, arguing that he needed his passport to continue his evangelism work, and that "thousands and thousands" were waiting to hear him preach in South Africa the following month. The court refused to reconsider, accepting the argument that "like-minded people" might secret Hovind away if he left the country. Because of reports of weapons on the Hovind property, the indictment was originally sealed for fear of danger to the arresting agents. More than a half-dozen guns were seized at the Hovind's home, including an SKS semiautomatic rifle. Also, "During an IRS raid at the home, agents found and seized numerous cash stashes totalling $42,000."
Evidence produced at the trial revealed that Jo Hovind had requested financial assistance from Baptist Healthcare claiming that the Hovinds had no income. "'Dr. and Mrs. Kent Hovind do not earn salaries,' wrote Martha Harris, the trust secretary of Creation Science Evangelism to Baptist Healthcare. 'As health insurance is not provided for this couple, we would appreciate (financial assistance).'" However, continues the article, "Kent Hovind, a tax protester, makes a substantial amount of money". The Pensacola News Journal noted, "On the day the IRS searched the Hovind home, Kent Hovind withdrew $70,000 from the Creation Science Evangelism account. Half in a check; the other in cash."
On October 21, 2006, the trial began in which he hoped to convince a jury that his amusement park admission and merchandise sales belonged to God and cannot be taxed. Former and current workers, IRS agents, a bank employee, and a lawyer of a non-profit Christian organization testified in the trial. The IRS agents told the court how Hovind attempted "bullying tactics" and sued the government three times, which were thrown out, to pressure them to stop investigating. Several people who worked for Hovind testified that they had to punch time cards, and had vacation and sick days, while others testified that Hovind claimed he had "beat" the tax system. During the trial, the judge "admonished" Hovind's attorney for wasting time and asking irrelevant questions.
The trial concluded on November 1 with the defense deciding not to present a case. After closing arguments were presented on November 2, the jury deliberated three hours before finding the Hovinds guilty on all counts, 58 for Hovind and 44 for his wife. The Pensacola News Journal noted, "The saddest thing: Had they cooperated with the agents, they probably wouldn't be worrying about prison sentences now."
Sentencing, appeals, and imprisonment (2007–current)
On January 19, 2007, Hovind was sentenced to ten years in prison and ordered to pay the federal government restitution of over $600,000. After his prison term finishes he will serve another three years of probation. During the sentencing phase, a tearful Hovind, hoping to avoid prison, told the court, "If it's just money the IRS wants, there are thousands of people out there who will help pay the money they want so I can go back out there and preach." However, Hovind's court room behavior was in stark contrast to phone calls he made while in jail and played by the prosecution. The tapes, posted online by the Pensacola News Journal, included one conversation with Kent and his son, Eric Hovind, planning to hide a motor vehicle title and property deeds to prevent the government from collecting the property to pay for owed debt.
In February 2007, Hovind argued to the judge that the convictions for structuring transactions to evade reporting requirements should be thrown out. On April 18, 2007, the court rejected the defendants' "unit of the crime" arguments, and the motions for acquittal were denied.
After the convictions, Hovind was incarcerated in the Escambia County Jail as a "danger to the community" and a flight risk. Following his sentencing in January 2007, Hovind was incarcerated at the Federal Prison Camp, Pensacola (minimum security), at Saufley Field, Pensacola, Florida, and was later moved to the Federal Correctional Institution, Marianna (medium security), at Marianna, Florida. In May 2007, he was listed as being an "administrative security level" inmate at Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee, in Tallahassee, Florida, and the United States Penitentiary (USP) in Atlanta, Georgia, until being placed at Federal Correctional Institution, Edgefield, in South Carolina. In August 2010, he was placed at United States Penitentiary, Atlanta; in September he was moved to Federal Correctional Institution, Jesup. In June 2011, he was moved back to Federal Correctional Institution, Tallahassee then to the FPC Satellite Camp (minimum security) under the administration of ADX Florence in Florence, Colorado. In October 2012, he was transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution, Berlin in New Hampshire.
On June 29, 2007, Jo Hovind was sentenced to one year of imprisonment (out of a possible 225 years) and three years of supervision upon release. She was also ordered to pay $8,000 in fines. In court, Jo Hovind told the judge "I really did not have a leadership role in CSE" and finished "I would never knowingly do anything illegal." The prosecutor said that Jo Hovind's statement contradicted the evidence, stating, "I do not believe she's being truthful to the court". The judge stated that "Mrs. Hovind was in charge of the payroll," and that while "Mr. Hovind was the decision-making authority" at CSE and Dinosaur Adventure Land, Jo Hovind had cashed some 200 checks, all under $10,000, for a total of $1.5 million during a four-year period. The judge stated that Jo Hovind's sentence was imposed to engender "respect for the law" and as a deterrence to others who might be tempted to break the law.
On July 2, 2007, Hovind's appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Appeals Court for the 2006 U.S. Tax Court judgment (Kent E. Hovind v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue) was denied. Hovind "filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit claiming he was prevented from challenging the amount of his tax liability." But "a three-judge panel ruled that Hovind failed to raise the issue at the right time, so he waived his rights to contest his tax liability."

Sentencing, appeals, and imprisonment (2007–current)
In 2007, the government placed liens on Hovind's 10 properties for money owed. This action stemmed from the June 27, 2007, judgment, which included an order that Hovind's property be forfeited under for costs of $5,800, a fine of $2000, and restitution of $604,874.87. If payment should not be made in full, the Hovinds would be required to pay the principal at an additional 5.1% interest.
On December 30, 2008, the Hovinds' criminal appeal was denied by the Eleventh Circuit Appeals Court. The Court stated that the Hovind's attempts to dismiss their convictions were "without merit". With the appeal denied, wife Jo Hovind began serving time on January 20, 2009, at Federal Correctional Institution, Marianna, and then moved to Metropolitan Correctional Center, Orlando, where she was released on December 3, 2009. The court ruling allowed forfeiture proceedings on Hovind property to continue to satisfy the debt. Eric Hovind kept DAL and CSE open throughout 2008, but in July 2009 a judge allowed the government to seize Hovind property for restitution. On November 30, 2010, Hovind filed a motion in U.S. District Court Northern District of Florida claiming the prosecution and defense erred at various stages of the case. All of Hovind's motions, including dismissal of the indictment, were denied by the court in 2011.

Ikan putih
Ikan putih hidup di atau dekat dasar laut, dan dapat dibedakan dengan ikan berminyak atau ikan pelagis yang hidup dalam kolom air jauh dari dasar laut. Berbeda dengan ikan berminyak, ikan putih mengandung minyak hanya di bagian liver mereka, bukan di pencernaan, sehingga mereka bisa dibersihkan segera setelah ditangkap di atas kapal. Ikan putih memiliki kulit kering dan putih.
Ikan putih dapat dibagi menjadi ikan benthopelagic (ikan bundar yang hidup dekat dasar laut, seperti kod dan coley) dan ikan bentik (yang hidup di dasar laut, semacam ikan pipih seperti plaice).
Kadang-kadang ikan putih dimakan langsung tetapi sering juga dihaluskan untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai stik ikan, surimi, dll. Selama berabad-abad ikan putih disajikan dengan dikeringkan menjadi stockfish dan clipfish dan dijual sebagai komoditas dunia. Secara luas ikan ini diketahui sebagai bahan kunci dalam masakan Inggris klasik seperti fish and chips. Dalam hidangan Yahudi, ikan putih utuh yang diasap dan ikan putih salad adalah menu yang dihidangkan dengan bagel.

Lambang Jerman
Lambang negara Jerman, menggambarkan elang hitam dengan paruh dan cakar berwarna merah, di atas latar berbentuk perisai berwarna kuning emas. Warna-warna yang digunakan dalam lambang ini sama dengan warna Bendera Jerman (hitam, merah, dan kuning emas). Bersama dengan Lambang Austria yang memiliki sejarah yang sama, lambang ini merupakan salah satu lambang negara tertua di Eropa yang telah ada sejak abad pertengahan.
Sejarah
Sejak zaman Kekaisaran Romawi dan Kekaisaran Byzantium lambang elang adalah makhluk yang paling dihormati dan melambangkan sifat tak terkalahkan. Kemudian, lambang kekaisarannya berupa(cf. adler), disebut di Jerman dengan nama Reichsadler, digunakan di Jerman mungkin sejak zaman Charlemagne (742–814). Sekitar tahun 1200 lambang elang hitam dengan latar emas digunakan sebagai lambang kekaisaran Jerman. Selain pada lambang negara, lambang resmi elang hitam Jerman juga dapat diitemui pada lambang dan bendera institusi federal Jerman, bendera Presiden Jerman, dan lencana resmi kenegaraan.
Zaman Nazi
Partai Nazi menggunakan bentuk Elang Jerman tradisional yang diubah sedemikian rupa; Berdiri di atas lambang swastika di dalam rangkaian daun ek. Ketika kepala elang tersebut menghadap ke pundak kirinya, lambang itu menyimbolkan Partai Nazi, dan disebut dengan Parteiadler. Sebaliknya, ketika menghadap ke pundak kanannya, elang itu menyimbolkan negara (Reich), dan disebut dengan Reichsadler. Setelah partai Nazi berkuasa di Jerman, mereka segera mengganti lambang Elang Jerman tradisional dengan Elang Jerman mereka di seluruh negara dan institusinya.

Penyakit kardiovaskular
Penyakit kardiovaskular atau cardiovascular disease (CVD) adalah penyakit yang berkaitan dengan jantung dan pembuluh darah. Penyakit kardiovaskular yang umum adalah penyakit jantung iskemik (ischemic heart disease atau IHD), strok, penyakit jantung akibat tekanan darah tinggi atau penyakit jantung hipertensi (hypertensive heart disease), penyakit jantung reumatik (rheumatic heart disease atau RHD), aneurisma aorta (aortic aneurysm), kardiomiopati (cardiomyopathy), fibrilasi atrium (atrial fibrillation), penyakit jantung bawaan (congenital heart disease), endokarditis, dan penyakit arteri perifer (peripheral artery disease atau PAD).
Mekanisme yang mendasari bervariasi tergantung dari penyakitnya. Penyakit jantung iskemik, strok, dan PAD melibatkan aterosklerosis. Hal ini disebabkan oleh tekanan darah tinggi, merokok, diabetes, kurang bergerak (lack of exercise), kegemukan, kolesterol tinggi, diet tak seimbang, minum alkohol secara berlebihan. Tekanan darah tinggi menyebabkan 13% kematian akibat CVD, sedangkan tembakau 9%, diabetes 6%, kurang bergerak 6% dan kegemukan 5%. Yang lainnya seperti RHD diakibatkan tidak diobatinya infeksi tenggorokan yang terkena bakteri streptococcal.

Mengobati tekanan darah tinggi dan diabetes juga memberikan manfaat. Mengobati pasien dengan tenggorokan yang terinfeksi streptococcus dengan antibiotik juga dapat mengurangi risiko RHD. Efek penggunaan aspirin pada orang yang sehat tidak memberikan manfaat yang jelas. USPSTF merekomendasikan penggunaanya untuk pencegahan pada wanita berusia kurang dari 55 tahun dan pria berusia kurang dari 45 tahun; bagaimanapun, pada mereka yang lebih lanjut usia juga direkomendasikan untuk beberapa individu tertentu. Pengobatan pada mereka yang menderita CVD memberikan hasil yang lebih baik.
Penyakit kardiovaskular adalah penyebab utama kematian di dunia. Hal ini benar untuk semua tempat di dunia, kecuali Afrika. Terjadi 17,3 juta kematian (31.5%) pada tahun 2013 meningkat dari 12,3 juta (25.8%) pada tahun 1990. Pada umur tertentu, tingkat kematian akibat CVD menjadi umum dan meningkat di negara-negara berkembang, sedangkan tingkat tersebut menurun di kebanyakan negara-negara yang sudah maju sejak tahun 1970. IHD dan stroke mengambil porsi 80% dari kematian akibat CVD pada laki-laki dan 75% pada wanita. Banyak penyakit kardiovaskular terjadi pada orang yang lebih tua. Di Amerika Serikat 11% masyarakat berusia antara 20 dan 40 menderita CVD, sedangkan 37% berusia antara 40 dan 60, 71% berusia antara 60 dan 80, dan 85% dari masyarakat berusia 80 tahun ke atas menderita CVD. Rata-rata kematian akibat IHD di negara-negara maju adalah sekitar 80 tahun, sedangkan di negara-negara berkembang adalah 68 tahun. Penyakit ini muncul 7 sampai 10 tahun lebih awal pada pria dibandingkan wanita.
Dalam publikasi BMC Public Health menyebutkan 37 persen kematian di Indonesia disebabkan oleh penyakit kardiovaskular (CVD). Tiga jenis penyakit CVD atau penyakit jantung pemicu kematian tersebut antara lain stroke, penyakit jantung koroner dan diabetes.
Angka kematian dini yang dipicu oleh stroke, penyakit jantung koroner, dan diabetes lebih besar di Indonesia ketimbang negara tetangga. Tren ini terus meningkat dari waktu ke waktu yang menunjukkan penyakit kardiovaskular menjadi problem yang perlu ditangani secara serius.
Selain BMC, Organisasi Kesehatan Dunia (WHO) dalam publikasinya di tahun 2018 mendapati gaya hidup kurang gerak jadi penyebab kematian kedua di Indonesia untuk kategori penyakit tidak menular (non communicable disease/NCD).
Organisasi tersebut menyimpulkan merokok, gaya hidup kurang gerak, obesitas berprevalensi tinggi terhadap penyakit kardiovaskular 28 persen hingga 33 persen. Riset tersebut menyimpulkan gaya hidup kurang gerak dan kebiasaan merokok lebih tinggi di kalangan masyarakat pedesaan dan penduduk yang tingkat pendidikannya lebih rendah.

Tempranillo
Tempranillo (juga dikenal sebagai Ull de Llebre, Cencibel, Tinto Fino dan Tinta del Pais di Spanyol, serta Aragonez atau Tinta Roriz di Portugal, dan beberapa sinonim lainnya di tempat lain) adalah varietas anggur hitam yang banyak ditanam untuk membuat anggur merah yang berasal dari Spanyol. Namanya berasal dari temprano dalam Bahasa Spanyol ("awal"), yang merujuk bahwa tempranillo tersebut matang beberapa minggu lebih awal dari kebanyakan anggur merah Spanyol. Tempranillo telah tumbuh di Iberia sejak zaman permukiman Fenisia. Anggur ini merupakan anggur utama yang digunakan di Rioja, dan sering disebut sebagai anggur bangsawan Spanyol. Anggur ini telah ditanam di beberapa tempat di seluruh dunia.
Pada tahun 2015, Tempranillo adalah varietas anggur yang paling banyak ditanam ketiga di seluruh dunia dengan 231.000 hektar, di mana 88%nya berada di Spanyol.
Tidak seperti varietas anggur merah yang lebih aromatik seperti Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese dan Pinot noir, Tempranillo memiliki profil yang relatif netral sehingga sering dicampur dengan varietas lain, seperti Grenache dan Carignan (dikenal di Rioja sebagai Mazuelo).
Tempranillo adalah varietas anggur pematangan awal yang cenderung tumbuh subur di tanah kebun anggur seperti di Ribera del Duero, Spanyol. Di Portugal, di mana anggur ini dikenal sebagai Tinto Roriz dan Aragonez, anggur ini dicampur dengan yang lain untuk menghasilkan anggur port.
Sejarah
Penanaman Vitis vinifera di Spanyol, bersama dengan tanaman merambat yang ada saat ini, dimulai dari sekitar pemukiman orang Fenisia di provinsi selatan. Belakangan, menurut penulis Romawi, Columella, anggur yang ditanam di seluruh Spanyol, merujuk ke nama "Tempranillo". Pembuatan anggur di Ribera del Duero telah berlangsung lebih dari 2.000 tahun, sebagaimana dibuktikan dengan adanya patung Dionisos setinggi 66 meter, dewa anggur Romawi, yang digali pada tahun 1972, di Baños de Valdearados.
Spanyol
Tempranillo adalah tanaman asli Spanyol utara yang banyak dibudidayakan di selatan hingga ke La Mancha. Dua wilayah utama yang menumbuhkan Tempranillo adalah di La Rioja, di Spanyol tengah utara, dan Ribera del Duero, yang terletak sedikit lebih jauh ke selatan. Jumlah substansial juga tumbuh di wilayah Penedès, Navarra dan Valdepeñas. Di beberapa daerah Tempranillo dikenal dengan nama "Cencibel" dan "Tinto Fino", dikenal juga sebagai "Tinta del País" di Ribera del Duero dan daerah sekitarnya, "Tinta de Toro " di Toro,"Ull de llebre" di Catalunya, dan "Morisca" di Extremadura.
Portugal
Anggur ini berperan dalam produksi anggur di dua wilayah di Portugal, yaitu di Alentejo Tengah dan Douro. Di Alentejo Tengah anggur ini dikenal sebagai Aragonez dan digunakan dalam campuran minuman anggur merah dengan kualitas variabel, sedangkan di Douro dikenal sebagai Tinta Roriz dan digunakan terutama dalam campuran untuk membuat anggur port.
Belahan dunia lain
Tempranillo tiba di California dengan nama Valdepeñas, dan ditanam di Central Valley pada pergantian abad ke-20. Karena iklim di Central Valley tidak ideal untuk anggur ini tumbuh, maka anggur ini hanya digunakan sebagai campuran anggur untuk minuman anggur kendi. California mulai menggunakannya untuk anggur berkualitas, terutama di Napa dan Monterey. Di Texas, tanah di Dataran Tinggi dan Bukit telah dibandingkan dengan tanah di Spanyol utara. Sehingga Tempranillo dapat tumbuh dengan baik di Texas dan telah berkembang dan dianggap sebagai anggur khas negara bagian tersebut.
Di Oregon, anggur ini diperkenalkan oleh Earl Jones dari Abacela Vineyards and Winery, di Umpqua Valley AVA. Karena iklim disana yang panas selama hari musim panas, dan sejuk semalam tampaknya sempurna untuk anggur Tempranillo ini tumbuh. Di negara bagian Washington, Tempranillo adalah salah satu varietas yang dipelopori di negara bagian oleh Red Willow Vineyard di Yakima Valley AVA dengan penanaman komersial varietas pertama pada tahun 1993. Di Australia Tempranillo tumbuh di wilayah McLaren Vale, dan juga North East Victoria. Tempranillo juga telah diperkenalkan oleh beberapa produsen anggur di Thailand. Varietas ini banyak ditanam di Argentina, Chili, dan Meksiko.
