Mitte April wird sich der Mond rot färben. Die optische Erscheinung im Rahmen einer Mondfinsternis wiederholt sich bis Herbst 2015 viermal – eine Blutmond-Tetrade. So etwas gab es in den letzten 500 Jahren nur drei Mal. Christen sehen im Blutmond nicht nur ein Zeichen für den Weltuntergang, sondern auch für die Wiederkehr Christi.

Am besten beobachten kann man das Phänomen in Nord- und Südamerika und über dem Pazifischen Ozean. In Europa, Afrika und Zentralasien ereignet sich die Mondfinsternis zur Tageszeit, weshalb sie dort nicht sichtbar sein wird.

4.      Blutmond-Tetrade

Die blutrote Mondfinsternis wiederholt sich am 8. Oktober 2014 und am 4. April und 28. September 2015. Zum ersten Mal seit 2.000 Jahren trifft eine solche sogenannte Mond-Tetrade auf vier jüdische Feiertage. 

Entscheidende Ereignisse während des Blutmondes:

Bei den ersten drei Blutmond-Tetraden geschah jeweils Entscheidendes für die jüdische Gemeinschaft. Deshalb wird nun spekuliert, ob im Zuge der vierten Tetrade wieder etwas Bedeutendes passieren könnte. (Bild: thinkstock)

Woman throws shoe at Hillary Clinton in Vegas

A woman rushed past security and threw a shoe at Hillary Clinton in Las Vegas on Thursday, but it missed and the former US secretary of state laughed off the incident.
The woman launched the projectile at the 66-year-old former First Lady as she was addressing a meeting of the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI).
Clinton, the presumed frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, ducked as the object whizzed past at head height to the left of her.
"What was that, a bat?... Is that somebody throwing something at me?" Clinton said initially at the event at the Mandalay Bay hotel/casino, according to video footage by the local KTNV station.
Regaining her composure and sense of humor, she added: "Is that part of Cirque du Soleil?" -- a reference to the acrobatic dance troupe, which has several shows in Vegas.
"My goodness, I didn't know that solid waste management was so controversial. Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did," she said, drawing laughter and cheers from the audience.
The blonde woman who threw the shoe was immediately escorted out of the hall, her hands in the air. She was later arrested, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
A spokesman for the organizers said the woman was not accredited for the meeting.
"Our staff denied her access before she later rushed past security. An ISRI staffer then stopped her as she approached the stage. She was then handed over to law enforcement," ISRI spokesman Mark Carpenter told AFP.
He added: "We are grateful that Secretary Clinton continued in a professional manner to share her firsthand knowledge and experience of how the recycling industry has a positive impact on the economy and environment."
A spokesman for Clinton did not immediately respond to request for confirmation or comment.
The most famous shoe-thrower of recent years was the Iraqi journalist who hurled his own footwear at president George W. Bush at a press conference in Baghdad in December 2008.
Muntazer al-Zaidi was sentenced to three years in prison for assaulting a head of state. That was reduced to one year on appeal, and his sentence was cut further for good behavior.
In February 2009 a German research student threw a shoe at Chinese premier Wen Jiabao during a speech at Cambridge University. Martin Jahnke, 27, was cleared of committing a public order offense.

BREAKING: Uhuru has FIRED Evans Gor Semelang’o the YOUTH fund boss

Reports just in indicate that that President Uhuru Kenyatta has FIRED Evans Semelang’o the Youth fund boss, he has been replaced by music producer and events organiser Bruce Odhiambo.
Whereas Evans was an accomplished manager with solid academic background it is not clear what Bruce brings to the office other his experience as a music producer and a Jubilee events organizer in the last general election. Evans is a Masters graduate of Utrecht University (rated best public university in the Netherlands) and ranked top 50 world wide.
It is not clear what will happen to his contract since he served slightly over ONE year of his THREE year contract. He was appointed by President Mwai Kibaki as chairman of the Board of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. The three year appointment was effective January 16, 2013 and was announced through the Kenya Gazette of February 15, 2013.
Mr. Semelang’o, who had served for three years as a member of the board, became the third Chairperson of the Youth Enterprise Development Fund. His predecessors were Ms. Hellen Tombo (2006 to 2009) and Mr. James Gitau Singh (2010 to 2013).
He has been active in youth matters, having served as the chairman of the National youth council steering committee. He was expected to steer the Fund through its second strategic plan.
Semelangó is well known for his flamboyancy (Ujaluo itamuua!) and well respected by his peers and the youth. He is very accessible and often gets work done. We wait if indeed the president was once again mis-advised to FIRE him. Our in-house legal expert has indicated that the tax payer will have to foot the burden of paying damages (breach of contract) which will include his lost earnings to the full end of the contract and other benefits that likely will sum into millions – and yet we say iko mambo ya wagebill !
In 2013 Semelang”o was among the influential youths who volunteerd to pick ICC bullet aimed at president Uhuru, ICC had claimed Uhuru hosted Mungiki in statehouse BUT Semelang’o and other youths including ambassador Vyone Khamati among others covered it by telling Ocampo and the world that they were the alleged ‘Mungiki’ and thereby calling a bluff on the ICC.
Here is Evans crying loud for wrongful dismissal:
Gor Semelang'o @Gorsemelango1
