Frédérick Leboyer (November 1, 1918 – May 25, 2017) was a French obstetrician and author. He was best known for his 1974 book, Birth Without Violence, which popularized gentle birthing techniques, in particular, the practice of immersing newborn infants in a small tub of warm water. This method is known as a "Leboyer bath".

Leboyer also advocated low lighting and noise in a warm room to limit the supposed shock of birth, and that a newborn be laid on its mother's stomach and allowed to bond, instead of being taken away for tests. 
 
Leboyer died on May 25, 2017 in Paris, at the age of 98.

Treblinka was a Nazi death camp during World War II.  It was in Poland, which was controlled by Germany at that time.  The camp was in a forest northeast of Warsaw.

The goal of death camps like Treblinka was to kill millions of people as quickly as possible.  Treblinka was open from July 23, 1942, to October 19, 1943, during Operation Reinhard, the deadliest part of The Holocaust.  At Treblinka, the Nazis killed at least 700,000 and 900,000 Jewish people, and at least 2,000 Roma people.  The Nazis killed more Jews at Treblinka than at any death camp other than Auschwitz.

Treblinka I: Labor camp
Nazi officials opened Treblinka in November 1941 as a forced labor camp.  The Nazis sent two groups of people to Treblinka to work as slaves:
 Jewish people; and
 Non-Jewish Polish people who had gotten into trouble

However, they kept the Jews and Poles in separate parts of the camp.

Most of the prisoners at Treblinka worked in a gravel pit; in an irrigation area; or in the forest, where they cut wood to fuel the camp's cremation ovens. 

Between 1941 and 1944, more than 20,000 people were prisoners at Treblinka I.  More than half of them died from hunger, disease, mistreatment, and summary executions (executions without a trial).

Treblinka II: Death camp
In July 1942, the Nazis finished building Treblinka II, a death camp, about a mile from the labor camp (Treblinka I).  At this time in history, the Nazis were already killing people at two other death camps: Belzec and Sobibor.

The Nazis committed genocide at Treblinka until November 1943.  They murdered up to 925,000 Jewish people at the camp.  They killed many of them with carbon monoxide in gas chambers.

Sonderkommando

Most Jewish men who were sent to Treblinka were killed right away.  However, a few were chosen to be its slave-labor units, called Sonderkommando. When the Nazis murdered people in the gas chambers, they forced the Sonderkommando to bury the victims' bodies in mass graves. These bodies were exhumed in 1943 and cremated on large open-air pyres, along with the bodies of new victims. 

In early August 1943, the Sonderkommando revolted.  Several Nazi guards were killed and about 200 prisoners escaped from the camp; almost a hundred survived the subsequent chase.  Because of this, in October 1943, the Nazis stopped killing prisoners in Treblinka's gas chambers.

Destruction
In late July 1944, Soviet troops were getting close to Treblinka.  There were between 300 and 700 Jewish prisoners left at the camp.  The Nazi guards shot them all.  The Nazis then quickly destroyed the camp.  Before running away, they built a farmhouse for a watchman and sloughed over the ground to try to hide the evidence of their genocide.  Then they ran away from the camp.

During the last week of July 1944, Soviet troops arrived at Treblinka.

The Andersonville National Historic Site is the site of the American Civil War prisoner of war camp Camp Sumter (also known as Andersonville Prison).  Andersonville was a Confederate prisoner-of-war-camp during the last 12 months of the Civil War.

The site is near Andersonville, Georgia.  Most of the site lies in southwestern Macon County.  Along with the former prisoner, the Andersonville National Cemetery and the National Prisoner of War Museum are also at the Andersonville National Historic Site.

12,920 Union Army prisoners died.  This was over one out of every four prisoners at Andersonville.  

The camp was overcrowded with four times as many prisoners as it was designed to hold.  There was not enough water, food, or sanitation.   About 45,000 Union prisoners were held at Camp Sumter during the war; nearly 13,000 (nearly 3 in every 10) died.  The most common causes of death were scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery.

During the Civil War, Confederate Captain Henry Wirz ran Andersonville.  After the war, he was tried and found guilty of war crimes and executed.

Pronunciation

Indian names, written in roman letters may use the letters for the vowels to denote different sounds than is conventional in American or British English.

The Sanskrit/devanagari vowels अ (u̱nder), आ  (ah), इ (in), ई (eat), उ (put), ऊ (boot), ए (ate), ऐ (add), ओ (oh - not as a diphthong), औ (ogre), are mapped to 'a', 'aa', 'i', 'ee', 'u', 'oo', 'ae', 'ei', 'o', 'ou', in that order, in most transcriptions of Indian names into English.

Thus ‘Ekamresh’  is pronounced ‘AkaamrAsh’ where the capitalized A’s represent the long ‘a’ (as in the name of the letter) and the 'aa' has the vowel sound in 'ah'. The short 'a' and short 'o' of American English are absent in Indian languages and their use can often result in mispronunciation of Indian names.

Furthermore, the letters used in English for the retroflex consonants (t and d) are also used to sound dentals (as in 'math' and 'the'), especially when they occur in the beginning of a word. As an example, the India name 'Dev' would not have its first consonant pronounced as in the American name 'Dave'. Similarly the name 'Tarun' would not have its first consonant sounded as in 'Tom'.

The letter 'h' is used to aspirate certain consonants. So, in the names 'Khare', 'Ghanshyam', 'Kaccha', 'Jhumki', 'Vitthal', 'Ranchodh', 'Thimmayya', 'Uddhav', 'Phaneesh', and 'Bhanu', the sounds 'ka', 'ga', 'cha', 'ja', 'ta' (retroflex), 'da' (retroflex), 'ta' (dental), 'da' (dental), 'pa', and 'ba' are sounded with an strong outward breath.

Names

Dalriadan
For all kings of Dalriada see List of Dalriadan monarchs.

Loarn or Loarn mac Eirc was a king of Dalriada who possibly ruled in the 5th century or 400's as king. He was succeeded by Fergus Mór who died in 501. Meaning their must of been an interregnum between the reign of Loarn and Fergus unless he reigned starting in the 480's based on how short lives were back in the 5th century. Some say he lived between 429-468 although this is theory. 

His name translates to Jerdan or Jordan in modern English.
