"From the darkness, sleeping light." Formerly luminus dormiens. Lux pacis, light of peace.

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Chechen president killed by bomb
Since my group partners and I are covering the Checheno-Russia conflict, it is a bittersweet happiness that the assassination occurred. It's horrible that so many people died, but it's nice to have something I can put on my paper.
There are many different spellings for Chechnya, which I've found in English and Spanish: Chechnya, Chechenia, Chechenya, Chechnia, Chechen, Checheno, etc.
Also, the pronunciation of "ch" in Chechnya is the same as "church," which is fortunate for being regular. I'd have thought it would be like "chek'-nia," or even "kek'-nia," but it's really "chech'-nia."
