Big Changes Upon Adjacent the India Continent: Cyclone in Sri Lanka and Moving to More Places, Pakistan Leader. Problems Respective to Syria Continuing. A Moment Looking at Guatemala.
Sri Lanka:

Pakistan:
reports are votes are in for new leader, who was a leader from earlier years.
News reports say Sharif the ex-Prime Minister is held in that view, framework National Assembly, political parties competed, congratulated by other world leaders

Reference to Syria:
The subtitle/ caption with photo at: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/14/us-syria-crisis-idUSBRE94A05S20130514 says "BEIRUT - Syrian rebels including the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front have counter-attacked east of Damascus to retake a town that served as a conduit for arms from Jordan into the capital before it was seized by government forces last month, rebel sources said."
Another story here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/05/14/us-turkey-usa-idUSBRE94D0VX20130514
"Turkey's Erdogan to push Obama on Syria after bombings
...days after car bombs tore through a Turkish border town in the deadliest spillover of violence yet.
The bombings in Reyhanli, which
killed 50 people on Saturday, and activists' reports of a massacre of
Sunni Muslims in a Syrian coastal town have incensed Tayyip Erdogan,
already critical of the slow international response to the conflict."
"Head of accused group denies responsibility, blames Israel for Reyhanlı bomb attack
Former leader of the organization that was accused of the recent twin
blasts that killed over 50 people in Reyhanlı, denied all accusations
and claimed the incident was Israel’s work, according to daily Radikal.
Mihraç
Ural, member and former leader of “Acilciler,” or the Hasty Ones,
claimed the incident was similar to previous acts of Israel, and denied
any connections to his organization."

What is the timeline going to be on popular media that crystallizes all the facts? The situation concerning Syria is very complex, and has many dimensions all of which are very sensitive. Is the information that masses of people are able to ascertain through media, affecting the turn-out of developments of the turbulence in Syria?
In the first 10 years after 9-11, al Qaeda was topping the list of America's worst enemy. Now, there faces the entire world a situation with al Qaeda in Syria angled in an awkward piece of a puzzle.
In other notes, how is Nusra Front spelled in Arabic? What are the intended implications of the name, and what are the realities?
A find for the name in Arabic:
جبهة النصرة لأهل الشام
The Arabic reads from
left to right. The last word in the Arabic phrase above, says Al-Sham.
Al-Sham does not always have exact equivocation to Syria as recognized
by everyone at all times all over the world, especially by Arabs who have strong in-depth knowledge of the culture and history of the region.
A transliteration of the phrase: Jabhat anNusrah li Ahl ashSha
Depending on the inflections and tenses of some of these words, used to designate the terror group spoken of, they are actually words used for persons that have absolutely nothing to do with terror.

Notes found respective to Guatemala:
- talk of former dictator receiving punishment
- someone please clarify: if it was one being or activity that claimed responsibility for the 4 ladies recently killed, in January of this year 2013, what in one word was it?

Signs of Terrifying Evil Assaults to Come
originally posted 5/13/2013
We wanted to give the the people and authorities of India a chance. So we gave them time, and thought that after the horrific assault on a young woman a few months back that the trends would die down. It is true, from the looks of it, that many of India men and women, took active measures to subside and drive-out the sort of activity that took place.
Even here in America, was recognized the severity of the incident.
So, we held our tongue, and did not say something that
might be a critical and valuable piece of information in slowing down
the sort of crime.
After the incident a Swiss woman was attacked while on a
tour of some sort, and there is the Masoom attack case, involving a 5
year old. Without all the details, which for the point being made here,
might not be needed, there is something clearly recognized.
The important information:
At certain times, meaning eras, there are people, possibly under demonic-like influences, that will attempt to compete, with other events that are very evil. They will try to prove themselves the most evil, over other types of evil. They will try to outshine everything else going on, by showing evil.
An illustration is,
the potential disfigurements of animals that could occur, if they had
prolonged stays in severely polluted areas, like the Pacific Trash
Vortex. Pollution effects the body and mind, the 'psychological
condition' of the animals. Then something happens. An attack on a
person, by the animal. Strange sightings and so on. Then, there are people that try to compete with the evil.
Another scenario is,
humans make marked positive progress, new computers are introduced which
allow us to do wonderful things, new airplanes, new cars, and the gifts
for living our lives. Stop, says these evil persons, stop paying
attention to good things, and pay attention to utter evil, which comes
in the form of their down to earth evil doings, no technology necessary.
The people that do these crimes are very close to
being almost like the devil in person. And act like the evil one at the
most evil.
After that wave, there comes a wave of persons even more evil.
Best to get it all sorted out and taken care of now.
In regard to the Swiss tourist attack, and the 5 year
old girl attack, the suspects that have been detained, according to
photos have the following similarities:
- very skinny
- wearing tight jeans
- have the 'salamander' character about themselves
Please take a moment to understand the emotions of the man holding the sign [not pictured on this site yet, see it at http://static.indianexpress.com/pic/uploadedImages/bigImages/B_Id_378205_protester.jpg], in the picture here-forth, in response to the recent 5 year old girl attack, and remember, this happens in other places, and to other people, only not caught and broadcast.

Death toll from Dhaka building collapse shows 600 after recovery efforts, a few days later, developments in other areas,
"Police have banned all rallies in the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, a day after clashes between the police and protesters left at least 27 people dead.
The country's main opposition parties have called a two-day nationwide shutdown from Wednesday to protest against what they describe as the "mass killing" of protesters in a crackdown by security forces.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) and its Islamist allies called the strike after claiming that hundreds of people were killed on Sunday and early Monday, when police broke up a mass rally in central Dhaka.
"We have called two days of nationwide strike to protest the mass killing of Hifajat-e-Islam workers and supporters on Sunday and Monday," BNP spokesman Khandaker Mosharraf told the AFP news agency on Tuesday.

The demonstrators demanded mandatory religious education and the end to what they described as an "anti-Islam" policy that calls for gender equality.
Hifazat, a newly created religious group, is demanding the death penalty for all those it says are defaming Islam.
It said it held the mass protest to push a 13-point list of demands which also included a ban on men and women mixing freely together and the restoration of pledges to Allah in the constitution.
Sheikh Hasina Wajed, Bangladesh prime minister, has said the existing laws already have sufficient safeguards to address the protesters' concerns.
She said that the government "will not allow any chaos in the name of Islam, a religion of peace".

"In addition to the 5.4 million tonnes of uranium in known recoverable resources, there are substantial amounts comprising what is known as "unconventional resources". One of these is rare earths, in relation to which China has a preeminent position as supplier. This gives rise to commercial pressure for development of other deposits outside China. Some of these contain significant uranium mineralisation."
