 and Scotland, which remained loyal to the Avignon pope, and various Italian states, which adhered to the Roman pope.
During his ten-month reign, Alexander V's aim was to extend his obedience with the assistance of France, and, notably, of Duke Louis II of Anjou, upon whom he conferred the investiture of the Kingdom of Sicily, having removed it from Ladislaus of Naples. He proclaimed and promised rather than effected a certain number of reforms: the abandonment of the rights of "spoils" and "procurations", and the re-establishment of the system of canonical election in the cathedral churches and principal monasteries. He also gave out papal favours with a lavish hand, from which the mendicant orders benefitted especially.
Alexander V suddenly died while he was with Cardinal Baldassare Cossa at Bologna, on the night of 3–4 May 1410. His remains were placed in the church of St. Francis at Bologna. A rumour, though now considered false, spread that he had been poisoned by Cossa, who succeeded him as John XXIII (1410–1415).
Legacy.
The Popes drinking society at Greyfriars, Oxford, is traditionally held to have been founded by Philarges during his time at the university. With the closure of Greyfriars in 2008, the society is now populated mainly by students of Regent's Park College, Oxford.
Traditionally, the Catholic Church considered Gregory XII's papacy to have ended in 1409 with the election of Alexander V. In 1958, Pope John XXIII selected the regnal number XXIII, citing "twenty-two [sic] Johns of indisputable legitimacy." Since the previous John XXIII (1410–1415) had succeeded Alexander V, the Pisan line became illegitimate. Gregory XII's papacy was extended to 1415, and Alexander V is now regarded by the Catholic Church as an antipope. Alexander V remains in the numbering sequence, since Rodrigo Borgia had already taken the name Alexander VI in 1492.This week we celebrate our 100th episode!

I watched live but had to bail for a while when the caller was asking about your dream pet projects.
I've never understood why there was no merchandise, or more love for Xenon. I wonder if it was not that popular in Japan.
Along those lines, I'd love some Blade of the Immortal toys.A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. (Source)
The Second Amendment (part of the Bill of Rights, ratified in 1791)is perhaps the most abused, debated and known Amendment. I honestly thought about skipping this one till the end, but in the end decided to stick to the order they came in.
I’m pro-gun control. I am not however against people having guns. I’ve always believed this law is about being able to form a community militia. It does not bother me that people own guns. Some people hunt, some people use it for protection. I do however think that there are some common sense gun laws that could go into affect that don’t affect one’s right to bear arms.
Both sides use this one a lot. The Pro-gun lobby seems to believe that any form of gun-control (even something as restricting gun magazine sizes) is an infringement. The Pro-Gun control group has many facets ranging from the mid-grounders like myself who just want tighter background checks, better regulation of gun ownership (basically making sure people who buy guns actually know how to use them) to the stricter varieties who want guns gone all together outside militia groups.
This Amendment protects the right of the citizen to protect themselves from military take-over. It protects the right of small militia groups to form. It’s debatable if it protects against certain guns (Like AK-47s and more militaristic weapons) being regulated.
It also brings up the debate of whether Amendments can be timeless. That some laws/Amendments might have to be altered, as technology improves and the country as a whole realises the original intent needs adjusting (there are several amendments which are basically doing just that).
This is a hot button issue.
My personal belief is that one should only have the guns you need to protect yourself and/or hunt. Unless you are some collector getting antique guns, you really don’t need to arm yourself like you are your own one-person militia. And if you want a gun, you should take the time to learn how to properly use it, clean it and store it. I see way too many stories on the news about people accidently getting shot because they didn’t clean it right, or they didn’t store it right and some kid got into it, or they did something stupid and ended up shooting their foot off.
I know people who believe the opposite, ranging from more open about gun use to those who make me wish guns were taken away so they didn’t have them. I also believe this Amendment protects your right to own a gun, not your right not to have guns safety laws and regulations.
2 thoughts on “The Amendments: Two”Even though Esports betting is still considered as a relatively new concept, bet365 CS:GO betting markets are more than plentiful. You still can’t compare it to some traditional betting markets like football and tennis.
However, if the surge in popularity continues as it is going now, we might be telling a completely different story in just a year or two from now.
Let’s focus on the present, shall we? Today’s main story is Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, or as the younglings like to call it CS:GO. Probably one of the most developed Esports betting markets currently available and bet365 is not missing out on the hype.
Please note: This review is based on the opinion of the author and does not necessarily align with that of HLTV or all of its employees. Practice responsible gambling. T&Cs apply, 18+.
bet365 CS:GO betting does not differ greatly from traditional sports betting. You still have two teams of players that compete against each other in a single matchup. There might also be a tournament and by winning and climbing up the bracket and claiming a victory in the finals earns the team a trophy.
The main difference is that you are not bagging in goals, or scoring touchdowns, nor netting three-pointers. Based on which side you are on, terrorist or counter-terrorist, you need to plant a bomb or defuse the said bomb, to win. You can also grab some people and hold them hostage while the police try to rescue them.
If your team manages to do that successfully a certain number of times, you win. You also have the top scorers or fraggers, and the person with the most kills is the top fragger of the match.
So if you look at it from sports betting perspective (or better yet Esports), the approach is basically the same. You can place a single bet on a team to win. You can wager an outright bet on the tournament winner. One can also devise a multiple by adding more CS:GO events on a betting slip at the same time.
