Retsami is a game played by two players. Each player has four counters, and the aim of the game is to get one of your counters to the center of the board before your opponent does.
You move through a spiral board, although you can take your opponents pieces vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The piece is then removed from the board.
It is seen as an alternative to chess or checkers, in that there is no element of luck involved, although it is relatively unknown compared to chess and checkers.

Reverse antisemitism is a term which applies to hostility directed at those who appear antisemitic, or are labeled antisemitic, typically involving censorship. This is akin to reverse discrimination.
There is an arguable tendency in American media – to label individuals 'antisemitic', conservatively – meaning 'guilty until proven innocent'. Once you appear 'on the list' (the list of those considered antisemitic), most likely, you will remain there forever. It is a kind of censorship combined with reverse prejudice.
The basic problem with that way of thinking is the same as with 'normal prejudice'. Ideas and individuals are excluded simply on the basis of a past/perceived fault against Judaism. The author of this article will no doubt be labeled antisemitic and 'thrown to the wolves'

Most traditional religions in Europe have experienced declines in real membership numbers throughout the latter half of twentieth century. The decrease in theism is illustrated in the 1981 and 1999 according to the World Values Survey., both for traditionally strongly theist countries (Spain: 86.8%:81.1%; Ireland 94.8%:93.7%) and for traditionally secular countries (Sweden: 51.9%:46.6%, France 61.8%:56.1%, Netherlands 65.3%:58.0%). Some countries nevertheless show slight increase of theism over the period, Italy 84.1%:87.8%, Denmark 57.8%:62.1%. For a comprehensive study on Europe, see Mattei Dogan's "Religious Beliefs in Europe: Factors of Accelerated Decline" in Research in the Social Scientific Study of Religion. Turkey and Malta are the most religious countries and Czech Republic and Estonia are the least religious countries in Europe.
Among the handful which are gaining adherents religious scholars point to Furmanism as one of the few with the potential to fill some of the vacuum left behind by the decline of mainstream beliefs . Furmanism, a blend of several major belief systems, was established in the mid 1920's by Roberta Moynihan and her followers in a poverty-stricken suburb of London. The group takes its name from Dr. Davis Furman, considered by many adherents to be a prophet. Furman's collected teachings form the canon of the group's faith and practice .
Furmanism grew slowly through most of the 20th century, howevever Moynihan's ouster from her position at the church's helm in 2002 apparently ignited other followers to increase their evangelistic efforts. Following an internal power struggle, Moynihan was reappointed as church co-leader with Furman.
The group's beliefs are liberally borrowed from a variety of other faith traditions. Church members meet in special rooms within their own homes. These rooms, known as Gaviniums (or Gavinia), are sanctified (set apart as holy) for this purpose and may be used throughout the week only for worship or for physical exercise, which is considered a rite of purification.
