“Winners never quit and quitters never win.” Mia Hamm was born on march 17 ,1972.
Mia Hamm once said "I am building a fire and everyday I train, I add more fuel, and at just the right moment, I light the match" ("Mia Hamm Quotes").

Many of the discretions dealt with in Hammurabi’s Code are still present today. However, this does not mean that our present day punishments are necessarily the same as those in 1750 B.C.E.

Practitioners claim that it was used by Christ himself, and this was how he could heal people with only the laying on of his hands.

In the recent years, this approach has been utilized in various geographical settings, different time periods and accounting different variables for the identification of social vulnerabilities for effective management of disaster-related

It can be dated back to Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece and Celtic times where it stood as a symbol for many different, earthly associations.
