3-year-old Trapped in Washer
A Colorado mother is opening up about the terrifying moment her 3-year-old daughter nearly died after becoming trapped in the family’s new washing machine — and she’s issuing a warning to parents everywhere. Lindsey and Alan McIver, of Conifer, had just bought a new, front-loading LG washing machine from a local Lowe’s on Monday, July 9 and instructed their three children to not go near it as they worked to properly install the washer, Lindsey wrote in a lengthy Facebook post about the ordeal. But the adventurous kids just couldn’t stay away. “Early Tuesday morning we were woken up by our four-year-old son who was crying so hard he could barely talk,” Lindsey explained in the post. “As I was trying to understand what he was saying, my husband flew out of bed and down the stairs. It was then that the realization hit. He had said: Kloe. Inside. Washer.” Frantic, the parents rushed into the laundry room where they found Kloe locked in the “airtight washing machine.” “It was tumbling and filling with water,” Lindsey continued in the post. “She was screaming but you couldn’t hear her.” Within seconds, Alan and Lindsey were able to open the fast-filling machine and pulled the little girl out. Lindsey wrote that Kloe suffered only a few bumps on her head. “Pulled her outside, and got the best hug in the world from her as she was out and crying,” Alan said during an interview with Good Morning America. Lindsey added: “Pretty quickly after we pulled her out she said, ‘We better not do that again.’ ” The McIver’s soon found a child lock feature among the machine’s settings, which keeps the washing machine from starting but does not lock the door.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY - July 19
Rosetta Stone found 1799
On this day in 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, a French soldier discovers a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles north of Alexandria. The irregularly shaped stone contained fragments of passages written in three different scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic. The ancient Greek on the Rosetta Stone told archaeologists that it was inscribed by priests honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. More startlingly, the Greek passage announced that the three scripts were all of identical meaning. The artifact thus held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been “dead” for nearly 2,000 years.
When Napoleon, an emperor known for his enlightened view of education, art and culture, invaded Egypt in 1798, he took along a group of scholars and told them to seize all important cultural artifacts for France. Pierre Bouchard, one of Napoleon’s soldiers, was aware of this order when he found the basalt stone, which was almost four feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, at a fort near Rosetta. When the British defeated Napoleon in 1801, they took possession of the Rosetta Stone.
Several scholars, including Englishman Thomas Young made progress with the initial hieroglyphics analysis of the Rosetta Stone. French Egyptologist Jean-Francois Champollion (1790-1832), who had taught himself ancient languages, ultimately cracked the code and deciphered the hieroglyphics using his knowledge of Greek as a guide. Hieroglyphics used pictures to represent objects, sounds and groups of sounds. Once the Rosetta Stone inscriptions were translated, the language and culture of ancient Egypt was suddenly open to scientists as never before.
