 Being a member of the royal family has many perks, but also comes with a lot of responsibility

Just like any other job, there is a time when those undertaking royal duties wish to retire like everyone else, with Prince Philip doing just that in May 2017

Now, the latest royal to take a step back for a well-earned rest is Princess Christina, also known as Mrs Magnusson, the younger sister of King Carl Gustav of Sweden

The 74-year-old announced the news on Wednesday to Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter (DN)

She told the publication: "I don't want to be tied down by a lot of things in the future, but enjoy what I have and those I have around me

"  Christina's retirement follows after she was diagnosed with chronic leukaemia in 2016

The royal underwent treatment that didn't work initially, before having a stem cell transplant in 2017, which proved successful

Christina had previously undergone treatment for breast cancer in 2010 – including three surgeries – but had beaten the disease

Christina has since spent a lot of time campaigning for cancer issues.  MORE: Prince Harry prompts speculation that he wants to start a family soon  The princess, who is known as Christina Magnuson, is married to Tord Gösta Magnuson, and they have three sons together: Carl Gustaf Victor, Tord Oscar Frederik and Victor Edmund Lennart

She lost her title of Royal Highness upon her marriage to someone of unequal rank, but her brother the king gave her the courtesy title of Princess Christina, Mrs

Magnuson.  READ: Princess Charlotte looks identical to Prince William in new unearthed photo  Christina has been active in the royal family foundations, and as well as cancer research, has been working in support of other causes including the Red Cross, where for years she was the head of its organisation Noaks Ark, which was set up to prevent the spreading of HIV and AIDS in Sweden

Christina has also been praised for helping to modernise the Swedish royal family, and has demonstrated a great interest in the arts and cultural scene in the country

Is Vaping a Fad? U.S. Smoking Rates in Decline! | Ownlife Vapor Podcast - Duration: 4:49.

We have Jonathan Wade of Chewy's Juice! You want to introduce yourself John? Yeah

guys I'm Jonathan Wade from Chewy's Juice! I stole his thunder guys, you can't blame him for that. I have been a vaper since

2010, so I'm at about the eight year mark. Vaping since before ego batteries even

existed. So I remember the the massive hype of Ego's! I started my new juice

company about four years ago now and yeah going strong and loving it! Awesome,

awesome! Okay, well hey what we'll do is we'll

break into this first topic, which is is vaping a fad? You know since vaping has

evolved to such an extent many people are beginning to wonder if vaping as a

concept was merely a fad but I certainly don't think so. Especially when looking

at the evidence of smoking populations dying down across the nation. In 2014

16.8 percent of Americans smoked but now in 2018 that number is

down to 15 percent. And I know that doesn't even really sound like that much,

it doesn't sound like a huge drop but that equates to over 300,000 less

smokers in America across the past four years. So, it's really no surprise that

big tobacco was the first to jump on the ooh vaping is a fad train! Of course.

Of course something crazy happened, they started to come out with their own

versions of vape products and suddenly was no longer a fad! Who would have guessed? You know Jon do you think

that the reduction in the smoking rates is what moved big tobacco to just move

into our space? I absolutely do! You know when I first started vaping, my first

device was a little cigalike device. A cheap knockoff of the blue cigs and you

know they worked terribly! They would work for five minutes and then stop, so I

had to have like eight of them, right. But even then I knew like just using it

because up until then there was no alternative to smoking. Like vaping

didn't exist! So when I tried that for the first time, having never encountered

it before, I was blown away and I was like this is the future! Yeah. This I'm

experiencing the future maybe a decade before the technology is good enough to

be worth it or five years. I knew back then that it was going to change

everything and I could also tell that Big Tobacco wasn't taking it seriously

and they were leaving an area open for new players to come into the market and

you know thankfully for that! It definitely is not a fad to me! It is for

me personally the only thing under the Sun that got me to quit smoking entirely

and I've been smoke-free for quite a while now I say that it's definitely

changed my life and something that's changed my life that much in my mind

can't possibly be a fad yeah and I totally agree you know for me when I saw

Big Tobacco it excites me that not only is vaping not a fad but the technology

surrounding the continues to evolve new mods new pods new accessories none of us

know what a device is going to look like in 2025 but the only thing we know is

it's going to look cool as hell that's all and more proof that vaping isn't a

fad is the fact that public health England or the FDA UK publicly announced

that vaping is 95 percent healthier than smoking and then the American Cancer

Society acknowledged that vaping reduces harm because as you mentioned it is one

of the only ways you can successfully quit smoking you know John have you seen

this info impact the perception of vaping itself I have I think that there

was initially a lot of misinformation thrown around from other parties but I

have noticed an evening out of that information being balanced out by the

good information the reliable studies that have been done and I've definitely

noticed an impact and public perception as a result of that yeah and me too and

for me it validated every sneaking insecurity that I ever had you know just

fading away it made me believe again because for a moment there I was like

debbie downer with a rain cloud over my head limping in crutches depressed over

the possibility that vaping could just disappear but the evidence

that is definitely not a fad you know with this in mind we know that countless

medical journals research studies and harm reduction reports show that it's

here to stay and so I hope you agree with when you say we should be excited

and hopeful because we picked a winning industry absolutely I do agree

What is… ITCH.IO & GAMEJOLT?! - Softlocked - Duration: 2:44.

Have you finished your latest and greatest game, but aren't quite sure where to share it?

Well, there's no bigger marketplace than Steam, but if you're looking for more options

that might've slipped under your radar, Itch.io and Game Jolt are splendid storefronts

to consider.

Game Jolt has been around since the early 2000s, where it launched as a public account

system with a chat room, forums and games, but the portal we know today didn't start

taking shape until the site was relaunched in 2008.

Game Jolt would see the introduction of its automated uploading system for titles at this

time, followed by browser-based games in 2013 and an online marketplace for selling software

in 2016.

Itch.io's history doesn't stretch as far back, launching in 2013 with its vision established.

Its developer Leaf Corcoran declared that the website would serve as a customized game

homepage, which naturally lent itself well to serving as a storefront.

Their approach is a pay-what-you-want model, allowing developers to set a lowest contribution

that can be dropped down to nothing and permitting patrons to surpass the mark if they're feeling

generous.

Game Jolt on the other hand, is more akin to Steam, featuring trophies, leaderboards

and a cloud storage system.

It also offers patrons the option to go above the asking price of a download through select

tiers, and allows them to check out with a credit card or paypal.

Where the platforms really diverge is with follower focus.

Itch enables you to subscribe to developers, while Game Jolt has you keeping tabs on the

titles themselves.

The latter is the right kind of community for early access and active development, as

you can release devlogs during the process that can take the shape of text, media, video

or sketchfab models that'll help keep a conversation going about your game as you

pick away at it.

The importance of ratings is also a differentiator.

They don't require any playtime on itch, but Game Jolt demands software be launched

before accepting any reviews, which is reflected in their presentation, with scores showcased

at the top of Game Jolt pages, and itch's tallies being less prominent: buried in menus.

Itch also allows creators to sell more than just games on their platform, opening up opportunities

to distribute a little transmedia merchandise like comics, assets and soundtracks: or just

wholly original works to diversify your portfolio.

All of that is to say, if you're looking to build an audience around yourself as a

developer: itch.io is the place to go, if you're more interested in putting forth

a promotional campaign for individual titles, Game Jolt is the best avenue, and if you want

to be lost in a flood of software, you best set a course for Steam.

If you have the time and resources, though, we'd recommend launching your game on all

three.

The more markets, the more audience outreach after all, and we're sure you're just

itching to get a jolt of recognition before you lose any steam!

Is there biblical warrant for Sunday evening worship? - Duration: 5:04.

Godfrey: My own inclination is when people ask, "Should we have two services on the

Lord's Day?" to say that I think we as the people of God ought to rise up in righteous

revolt against the parsimony of our preachers and ask, "Why can't we have three?"

The day belongs to the Lord.

We rest on that day, we worship on that day, and surely it's a good thing to have morning

and evening worship, and presumably would be an even better thing to have an afternoon

service as well.

Now, I'm being a little bit facetious.

The spirit may be willing but the flesh may be weak, but, I don't think there's a

verse, not even Psalm 92 that talks about morning and evening sacrifice on the Sabbath.

I don't think that's actually a proof text for evening worship.

I do think it's a prudential matter, and I think if we are committed to Sunday as a

Christian Sabbath, which I think we ought to be as a day belonging to the Lord for distinct

resting in Him and worshiping Him, then we have to ask, "How should that day be used?"

And it ought to be used in rest and in Christian fellowship and service, but also in worship.

And if it's to be used in worship, then we have to ask ourselves, "How much worship

is good for us?"

And, speaking as a historian, one of the things that strikes me is that I think you can draw

a pretty close corollary between the decline of Sunday evening worship in Christian churches

in America and a decline in Bible knowledge, a decline in disciplined Christian living,

a decline in Sabbath observance, and a decline of general cultural influence.

I don't see how any good thing has come out of abandoning Sunday evening worship.

What are you all doing with your Sunday evenings?

Are you all sitting at home and watching Ligonier DVDs?

As long as you don't buy them on Sunday that might be legitimate.

But, I mean that as a very serious question.

If Sunday is the day for the Lord, what are we doing with our Sundays, and how are we

using our Sundays to draw closer to the Lord?

And I have met in my lifetime one or two people who did not go to church Sunday night who

were home studying the Bible and catechizing their children, and I don't know that I

necessarily want to criticize those people, but most people who are not going to church

Sunday night, are not going to church and not doing really spiritual things with that

time, and I want to blame particularly, not exclusively, but I want to blame particularly

the ministers who too often find life easier if they write one sermon a week instead of

two.

Now, they're giving in to pressure, very often, from people, and I think any of us

would know if you went to a teacher of algebra in high school and said, "We want you to

produce students knowing just as much algebra as they always learned, but we're giving

you half as much time to teach them" that you'd end up with a lot of trouble.

But that's what we're doing in our churches, for as far as I can see, no good reason at

all.

So, you know, church history isn't useful for much other than illustrations, but it's

very interesting that the great Synod of Dort, which was an international gathering of Calvinist

theologians and ministers in the early seventeenth century, was asked with the question, "What

should we do if nobody wants to attend the second service?"

So, at least we can be comforted it's not a new problem.

And the answer of the Synod of Dort was the second service must be held even if only the

preacher's family is in attendance.

And that advice was taken and the Dutch Reformed in the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth,

early twentieth century, became a very Sabbath-keeping, worshipful, Bible-knowing people because of

that advice in part being taken.

And so my feeling is, no, you're not absolutely required to go to church on Sunday but — the

second time — but what are you doing with that time?

Use it for the Lord with the Lord, and tell your preacher you want two or maybe three

sermons a Sunday.
