Vakhtang Darchinyan (Armenian: Վախթանգ Դարչինյան; born 7 January 1976 in Vanadzor, Armenia) is a professional boxer who is the current WBA, WBC and IBF Undisputed Super Flyweight World Champion. Darchinyan was also formerly the IBF and IBO champion of the flyweight division and brie
fly reigned as the IBO's super flyweight champion also. He is a southpaw boxer, who currently trains under Billy Hussein, brother of boxers Nedal and Hussein Hussein. Previously, he was trained by former 3-division world champion, Jeff Fenech in Sydney.
Controversial draw with Gorres
On 2 February 2008, Darchinyan fought Z Gorres to a controversial split draw at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City, Philippines in an IBF super flyweight eliminator where the winner would challenge the champion Dimitri Kirilov. The bout began with a knockdown for Darchinyan in the first round, which appeared to be slip by Gorres when replayed. The crowd was upset with the referee calling the slip a knockdown and began to pelt the ring with bottles water, coins and other objects. Gorres came back in the second round to floor Darchinyan with a left hand, but Darchinyan beat the count, which again prompted some arena fans to pelt the ring with objects. Gorres was knocked down in the fifth round, but the referee ruled it a slip. A clash of heads in the sixth round opened up a bad gash on Gorres. In the ninth round, Darchinyan connected with a right hand, sending Gorres down for the second time in the fight. Gorres would fall to the canvas on at least three other occasions in the final three rounds, with the referee ruling all of them slips. The final scores were 113-112 for Gorres, 114-112 for Darchinyan, and 113-113 for the draw. Darchinyan's promoter, Gary Shaw, will file an official protest with the IBF over the officiating of the bout.
Despite the draw, Darchinyan earned the right to take on Kirilov for being higher in the ratings and willing to accept the fight.
Undisputed Super Flyweight Title Defence
On February 7, 2009, Darchinyan successfully defended his championship against Jorge Arce, winning by TKO in the 11th round.
Move To Bantamweight
Darchinyan moved up to bantamweight to fight IBF champion Joseph Agbeko in Sunrise, Florida and lost a unanimous decision in a fight in which he looked aggressive as usual but kept getting tagged with right hands. Agbeko spoiled Darchinyan's goal of winning his third world title in a different division.
SCORING: Two judges scored the bout 114-113 for Agbeko, while the third had it for the Ghanaian Agbeko, 116-111.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 3:10-18.
And the crowds asked him, "What then should we do?" He said to them in reply, "Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise." Even tax collectors came to be baptized and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we do?" He answered them, "Stop collecting more than what is prescribed." Soldiers also asked him, "And what is it that we should do?" He told them, "Do not practice extortion, do not falsely accuse anyone, and be satisfied with your wages." Now the people were filled with expectation, and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the Messiah. John answered them all, saying, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the holy Spirit and fire.His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire."Exhorting them in many other ways, he preached good news to the people.

receipt • \rih-SEET\ • noun
1 : recipe
*2 : the act or process of receiving
3 : something received -- usually used in plural
4 : a writing acknowledging the receiving of goods or money
Example Sentence:
If you find that the item has been damaged during shipping, please contact us upon receipt to request a return shipping label.
Did you know?
These days it may seem odd to speak of "grandma's cookie receipt," but at one time the only meaning of "receipt" was "recipe." The first recorded use of "receipt" is a reference to a medicinal preparation in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (c. 1386). "Recipe" didn't arrive until the 1500s, and it was also first used to describe medicine. Both words began to be applied to cooking only in the 18th century, after which "recipe" slowly became the preferred word. "Receipt" acquired its currently more familiar sense of "a written statement saying that money or goods have been received" in the 17th century. Both "receipt" and "recipe" are thought to be ultimately derived from Latin "recipere" ("to receive"), making them probable relatives as well as synonyms.

God's Coffee
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us." God brews the coffee, not the cups.......... Enjoy your coffee!
