Peanuts

(Allison Hazlett-Rose) 3/14/2016 9:43 AM EST
For older generations, The Peanuts cartoon is a classic comic that fills us with a sense of nostalgia as soon as we see those lovable faces.

Tapping into the past with a built in audience while allowing adults to introduce their chi... Read More

Mining is hard work and dangerous. In fact, on average, over 1000 miners die each year. When a cave in occurs, any survivors eventually die under the rock because companies find it hopeless and expensive to even try to rescue them.
