negative: Herrmann pass The Herrmann pass ( also Herrmann shift ) is a sleight of hand move used to control cards.This style of the move is different from the Classic Pass .   The sleight is named after Alexander Herrmann or his brother Compars ( Carl ) Herrman and one of the earliest publications of the move was in Stanyon 's Serial Lessons in Conjuring . This is supposed to be Herrmann 's actual handling of the move .   In 1897 , a version was published as an Invisible Turnover Pass for the first time , by Roterberg .   The Herrmann pass differs from the Classic Pass as it is the bottom packet which is taken to the top , not the top packet that is taken to the bottom . There are numerous variations of this pass .   According to the Austrian magician Magic Christian , author of Non Plus Ulta -- Hofzinser 's Card Artistry , the Herrmann pass is erroneusly named after Alexander Herrmann or his brother Compars ( Carl ) Herrmann . In reality , Johann Nepomuk Hofzinser was the inventor of the sleight . In his book , where the pass is explained in detail , Christian writes `` It is hoped that , after the publication of this book , the Herrmann pass will come to be correctly known as the Hofzinser pass .

Athens is the nation 's capital and largest city , followed by Thessaloniki .   Greece is strategically located at the crossroads of Europe , Asia , and Africa . Situated on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula , it shares land borders with Albania to the northwest , the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north , and Turkey to the northeast . Greece consists of nine geographic regions : Macedonia , Central Greece , the Peloponnese , Thessaly , Epirus , the Aegean Islands ( including the Dodecanese and Cyclades ) , Thrace , Crete , and the Ionian Islands . The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland , the Ionian Sea to the west , the Cretan Sea and the Mediterranean Sea to the south . Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin and the 11th longest coastline in the world at 13676 km in length , featuring a vast number of islands , of which 227 are inhabited . Eighty percent of Greece is mountainous , with Mount Olympus being the highest peak at 2918 m.   Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilization , being the birthplace of democracy , Western philosophy , the Olympic Games , Western literature , historiography , political science , major scientific and mathematical principles , and Western drama . From the eighth century BC , the Greeks were organised into various independent city-states , known as polis , which spanned the entire Mediterranean region and the Black Sea . Philip of Macedon united most of the Greek mainland in the fourth century BC , with his son Alexander the Great rapidly conquering much of the ancient world , spreading Greek culture and science from the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus River . Greece was annexed by Rome in the second century BC , becoming an integral part of the Roman Empire and its successor , the Byzantine Empire , wherein the Greek language and culture were dominant . The Greek Orthodox Church also shaped modern Greek identity and transmitted Greek traditions to the wider Orthodox World . Falling under Ottoman dominion in the mid-15th century , the modern nation state of Greece emerged in 1830 following a war of independence . Greece 's rich historical legacy is reflected by its 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites , among the most in Europe and the world .   Greece is a democratic and developed country with an advanced high-income economy , a high quality of life , and a very high standard of living . A founding member of the United Nations , Greece was the tenth member to join the European Communities ( precursor to the European Union ) and has been part of the Eurozone since 2001 . It is also a member of numerous other international institutions , including the Council of Europe , the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ( NATO ) , the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ( OECD ) , the World Trade Organization ( WTO ) , the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe ( OSCE ) , and the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie ( OIF ) .

It is the largest economy in the Balkans , where it is an important regional investor .

positive: Therasia Therasia , also known as Thirasía , is an island in the volcanic island group of Santorini in the Greek Cyclades . It lies north-west of Nea Kameni , a small island formed in recent centuries by volcanic activity and thus marking the centre of the island group . Therasia is the second largest island of the group , the largest by far being Thera .   Therasia has a land area of 9.299 km ² and its population was 319 inhabitants at the 2011 census . It is part of the municipal unit of Oia .   Thera and Therasia were separated by the Thera eruption .   At Knossos , in a LMIIIA context ( 14th century BC ) , seven Linear B texts while calling upon `` all the gods '' make sure to grant primacy to an elsewhere-unattested entity called qe-ra-si-ja and , once , qe-ra-si-jo . However this probably refers to a god or a person rather than to an island * Qherasia > Therasia .   Thirasia is also the book of Greek poet Dimitris Varos that became a music album and theatrical performance by Greek composer Giannis Markopoulos under the title Daring Communication - Electric Theseus .

negative: Oia, Greece Oia or Ia ( Greek : Οία , pronounced -LSB- ˈoy.a -RSB- ) is a small town and former community in the South Aegean on the islands of Thira ( Santorini ) and Therasia , in the Cyclades , Greece . Since the 2011 local government reform it has been part of the municipality of Santorini , of which it is a municipal unit . It covers the whole island of Therasia and the northwesternmost part of Santorini , which it shares with the municipal unit of Santorini . The main street is named Nikolaou Nomikou . The population was 1,545 inhabitants at the 2011 census , and the land area is 19.449 km2 .   Oia was previously known as Apano Meria ( Απάνω Μεριά or Επάνω Μεριά , `` upper side '' ) , a name which still occurs locally as Pano Meria , and the inhabitants are still called Apanomerites . The Ancient Greek Oia was one of the two harbours of ancient Thera and was located in the southeast of the island , where Kamari is now .   Oia reached the peak of prosperity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries . Its economic prosperity was based on its merchant fleet , which plied trade in the Eastern Mediterranean , especially from Alexandria to Russia . The two-story captains ' houses built on the highest part of the village are a reminder of the village 's former affluence . Part of the town was destroyed by the 1956 earthquake .

negative: Manolas, Thirasia Manolas is the main settlement and the capital of Therasia , the small island opposite to Santorini ( Thera ) . It is located in the east of island , above the abrupt Santorini caldera . So it has a beautiful view for volcano and the main settlements of Santorini such as Fira , Imerovigli , Oia etc. . The approach of Manolas becomes whether through the car road from the port of Riva or the uphill path from the small port of Korfos . The donkeys are the main transport mean in this path . Manolas has a population of 160 inhabitants according to 2011 census . It belongs to Thira municipality and Oia municipal unit .

negative: Geography of the European Union The geography of the European Union describes the geographic features of the European Union ( EU ) , a multinational polity that occupies a large portion of Europe and covers 4,422,773 km2 ( 1,707,642 sq mi ) . Its European territory extends northeast to Finland , northwest to Ireland , southeast to Cyprus ( an island that is physiographically part of Asia ) and southwest to Iberia . Additionally , the EU includes numerous islands around the world , and French Guiana in South America .   Collectively , it represents the seventh largest territory in the world by area . Including all overseas territories , the EU shares borders with 20 countries .

negative: Eurasia Eurasia -LSB- yʊˈreɪʒə -RSB- is a combined continental landmass of Europe and Asia . The term is a portmanteau of its constituent continents . Located primarily in the Northern and Eastern Hemispheres , it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west , the Pacific Ocean to the east , the Arctic Ocean to the north , and by Africa , the Mediterranean Sea , and the Indian Ocean to the south . The division between Europe and Asia as two different continents is a historical and cultural construct , with no clear physical separation between them ; thus , in some parts of the world , Eurasia is recognized as the largest of five or six continents . In geology , Eurasia is often considered as a single rigid megablock . However , the rigidity of Eurasia is debated based on the paleomagnet data .   Eurasia covers around 55,000,000 km2 , or around 36.2 % of the Earth 's total land area . The landmass contains around 5.0 billion people , equating to approximately 70 % of the human population . Humans first settled in Eurasia between 60,000 and 125,000 years ago . Some major islands , including Great Britain , Iceland , and Ireland , and those of Japan , the Philippines and Indonesia , are included under the popular definition of Eurasia , in spite of being separate from the massive landmass .   Physiographically , Eurasia is a single continent . The concepts of Europe and Asia as distinct continents date back to antiquity and their borders are geologically arbitrary . In ancient times the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara , along with their associated straits , were seen as separating the continents , but today the Ural and Caucasus ranges are more seen as the main delimiters between the two . Eurasia is connected to Africa at the Suez Canal , and Eurasia is sometimes combined with Africa to make the largest contiguous landmass on Earth called Afro-Eurasia . Due to the vast landmass and differences in latitude , Eurasia exhibits all types of climate under the Köppen classification , including the harshest types of hot and cold temperatures , high and low precipitation and various types of ecosystems .

negative: Thessaly Thessaly ( Θεσσαλία , Thessalía ; ancient Thessalian : Πετθαλία , Petthalía ) is a traditional geographic and modern administrative region of Greece , comprising most of the ancient region of the same name .

Thessaly became part of the modern Greek state in 1881 , after four and a half centuries of Ottoman rule . Since 1987 it has formed one of the country 's 13 regions and is further ( since the Kallikratis reform of 2010 ) sub-divided into 5 regional units and 25 municipalities . The capital of the region is Larissa . Thessaly lies in central Greece and borders the regions of Macedonia on the north , Epirus on the west , Central Greece on the south and the Aegean Sea on the east . The Thessaly region also includes the Sporades islands .

negative: Afro-Eurasia Afro-Eurasia , Afroeurasia , or Eurafrasia , nicknamed the World Island , is the combination of Africa and Eurasia ( a further combination of the continents of Asia and Europe ) which together form the largest contiguous landmass on Earth . The term is a portmanteau of the names of its constituent parts .   Afro-Eurasia encompasses 84,980,532 km2 , a little over half the world 's land area , and has a population of approximately 6 billion people , roughly 86 % of the world population .

negative: Atlantic Europe Atlantic Europe is a geographical and anthropological term for the western portion of Europe which borders the Atlantic Ocean . The term may refer to the idea of Atlantic Europe as a cultural unit and/or as an biogeographical region .   It comprises the British Isles ( Great Britain and Ireland ) , Iceland , Belgium , the Netherlands , the central and northern regions of Portugal , northwestern and northern Spain ( including the Southern Basque Country ) , the southwestern and western portion of France ( including Northern Basque Country ) , western Scandinavia , and northern Germany .   Weather and overall physical conditions are relatively similar along this area ( with the exception of parts of Scandinavia and the Baltic ) , resulting in similar landscapes with common endemic plant and animal species . From a strictly physical point of view most of the Atlantic European shoreline can be considered a single biogeographical region . Physical geographers label this biogeographical area as the European Atlantic Domain , part of the Euro-Siberian botanic region .

negative: Europeans in Oceania European exploration and settlement of Oceania began in the 16th century , starting with Portuguese settling the Moluccas and Spanish ( Castilian ) landings and shipwrecks in the Marianas Islands , east of the Philippines , followed by the Portuguese landing and settling temporarily ( due to the monsoons ) in the Tanimbar or the Aru Islands and in some of the Caroline Islands and Papua New Guinea , and several Spanish landings in the Caroline Islands and New Guinea . Subsequent rivalry between European colonial powers , trade opportunities and Christian missions drove further European exploration and eventual settlement . After the 17th century Dutch landings in New Zealand and Australia , but not settling these lands , the British became the dominant colonial power in the region , establishing settler colonies in what would become Australia and New Zealand , both of which now have majority European-descended populations . New Caledonia ( Caldoche ) , Hawaii , French Polynesia , Norfolk Island , Easter Island and Guam also have significant European populations . Europeans remain a primary ethnic group in much of Oceania , both numerically and economically .

negative: Ancient Thera Ancient Thera is an antique city on a ridge of the steep , 360 m high Messavouno mountain on the Greek island of Santorini . It was named after the mythical ruler of the island , Theras , and was inhabited from the 9th century BCE until 726 CE . Starting in 1895 the city was systematically investigated by Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen , who excavated there until 1904 . Later excavations by N. Zapheiropoulos between 1961 and 1982 under the auspices of the Archaeological Society of Athens unearthed the city 's necropolis in Sellada . Findings from these excavations are on exhibit at the archaeological museum in Fira . Excavation work was again taken up between 1990 and 1994 under the leadership of Wolfram Hoepfner of the Free University of Berlin and resulted in a more precise understanding of the history of the southern Aegean .   Ancient Thera is today open to the public and can be reached on a winding road that starts at Kamari or several foot paths from both sides of the mountain .

negative: Muscocyclops Muscocyclops is a genus of copepod crustaceans in the family Cyclopidae , comprising three species found only in South America .

The third species is Muscocyclops operculatus ( Chappuis , 1917 ) .

negative: Santorini Santorini ( Σαντορίνη , pronounced -LSB- sandoˈrini -RSB- ) , classically Thera ( English pronunciation -LSB- ˈθɪərə -RSB- ) , and officially Thira ( Greek : Θήρα -LSB- ˈθira -RSB- ) , is an island in the southern Aegean Sea , about 200 km southeast of Greece 's mainland . It is the largest island of a small , circular archipelago which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera . It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands , with an area of approximately 73 km2 and a 2011 census population of 15,550 . The municipality of Santorini includes the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni , Palaia Kameni , Aspronisi , and Christiana . The total land area is 90.623 km2 . Santorini is part of the Thira regional unit .   Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island , and created the current geological caldera . A giant central , rectangular lagoon , which measures about 12 by , is surrounded by 300 m high , steep cliffs on three sides . The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea . On the fourth side , the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia ; the lagoon is connected to the sea in two places , in the northwest and southwest . The depth of the caldera , at 400m , makes it impossible for any but the largest ships to anchor anywhere in the protected bay ; there is also a fisherman 's harbour at Vlychada , on the southwestern coast . The island 's principal port is Athinios . The capital , Fira , clings to the top of the cliff looking down on the lagoon . The volcanic rocks present from the prior eruptions feature olivine , and have a small presence of hornblende .   It is the most active volcanic centre in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc , though what remains today is chiefly a water-filled caldera . The volcanic arc is approximately 500 km long and 20 to wide . The region first became volcanically active around 3 -- 4 million years ago , though volcanism on Thera began around 2 million years ago with the extrusion of dacitic lavas from vents around the Akrotiri .   The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history : the Minoan eruption ( sometimes called the Thera eruption ) , which occurred some 3,600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization . The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete , 110 km to the south , through a gigantic tsunami . Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis .

negative: White Barbadian White Barbadians or European Barbadians are Barbadian citizens or residents of European descent . The majority of European Barbadians are descended from English , Irish , Portuguese , Jewish and Scottish settlers , who arrived during the British colonial period . In addition , some of those considered to be European Barbadians are of partial black ancestry and vice versa . There are over 11,000 white Barbadians .   At first , Indigenous constituted the majority of the Barbadian population . Post-colonization Europeans constituted the majority , with the island being used as a penal colony much as Australia would be later , until the transition of the Barbadian economy to one based on sugarcane production ; importation of African slaves to the island altered the demographics of the island , making European Barbadians a minority . During much of the colonial period , whites formed the island 's political and economic elite . Since independence from Britain in 1966 when most European Barbadians left for the United Kingdom , most political power has shifted to the black majority , however whites still retain significant economic influence ; with many businesses on the island being owned by European Barbadians .   Among European Barbadians , there exists an underclass known as redlegs ; the descendants of indentured servants , and prisoners imported to the island , redlegs have historically formed a disadvantaged group within Barbadian society .

negative: Paulinus of Nola Paulinus of Nola ( Paolino di Nola -- June 22 , 431 ) , born Pontius Meropius Anicius Paulinus , was a Roman poet , writer , and senator who attained the ranks of suffect consul and governor of Campania ( -- 1 ) but -- following the assassination of the emperor Gratian and under the influence of his Spanish wife Therasia -- abandoned his career , was baptized as a Christian , and ( after Therasia 's death ) became bishop of Nola in Campania . While there , he wrote poems in honor of his predecessor St Felix and corresponded with other Christian leaders throughout the empire . He is traditionally credited with the introduction of bells to Christian worship and helped resolve the disputed election of Pope Boniface I.   His renunciation of his wealth and station in favor of an ascetic and philanthropic life was held up as an example by many of his contemporaries -- including Augustine , Jerome , Martin , and Ambrose -- and he was subsequently venerated as a saint . His relics became a focus of pilgrimage , but were removed from Nola between the 11th and 20th centuries . His feast day is observed on June 22 in both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches . In Nola , the entire week around his feast day is celebrated as the Festival of the Lilies .

negative: List of indigenous names of Eastern Caribbean islands This list of the indigenous names of the Eastern Caribbean islands is a compilation of the indigenous names that were given by Amerindian people to those islands before the Europeans started naming them . The islands of the Caribbean were settled for over 4,000 years ( estimate ) before European arrival in 1492 . The Eastern Caribbean islands were dominated by two main cultural groups : the Arawaks and the Kalinago , or Caribs . Individual villages of other distinct cultural groups were also present on the more southerly , larger islands . The large island of Trinidad in particular was shared by both Kalinago and Arawak groups .   Archaeological evidence suggests that the Arawaks arrived first , settling the islands as they travelled North from the Orinoco River in Venezuela . The Kalinago people , who proved to be more dominant in warfare , had begun a campaign of conquering and displacement of the Arawaks at the point of European arrival . Also starting at the southern end of the archipelago , they had worked their way north , reaching as far as the island of Saint Kitts by the 16th century .   The islands north of the Saint Kitts ` borderline ' had Arawak names , the islands South had Kalinago names . The island of Barbados was uninhabited at the point of European arrival , but evidence suggests that Barbados followed the same pattern of displacement as witnessed on neighbouring islands , but that it was abandoned for unknown reasons . The only indigenous name on record for Barbados is one documented as the name used by Arawak peoples on Trinidad in reference to that island .

negative: White Bermudian White Bermudians or Bermudians of European descent are Bermudians whose ancestry lies within the continent of Europe , most notably the British Isles and Portugal . Initially , the White population of Bermuda made up the majority of the island who came to the island as indentured servants . This remained the case until Black Slaves were taken to the island , Free Blacks began to migrate to the island during the 17th century . Many Scots and Irish were also brought to the island as white slaves and made up large pockets of the population . In the 19th century the Black population surpassed the white majority . Black Bermudian remains the islands largest ethnic group . A number of European Bermudians are foreign-born nationals , many are from the United States and Canada - due to its close proximity to the island - as well as the United Kingdom ( this may be because the island is a British Overseas Territory ) .   Currently , European Bermudians are a minority ethnic group in Bermuda , accounting for 31 % of the territory 's population .

negative: Minoan eruption The Minoan eruption of Thera , also referred to as the Thera eruption or Santorini eruption , was a major catastrophic volcanic eruption with a Volcanic Explosivity Index ( VEI ) of 6 or 7 and a dense-rock equivalent ( DRE ) of 60 km3 , Dated to the mid-second millennium BCE , the eruption was one of the largest volcanic events on Earth in recorded history . It devastated the island of Thera ( now called Santorini ) , including the Minoan settlement at Akrotiri and communities and agricultural areas on nearby islands and the coast of Crete with a related earthquake or tsunami .   There are no clear ancient records of the eruption , which may have inspired certain Greek myths , caused turmoil in Egypt and be alluded to in a Chinese chronicle .

negative: Port Royal Port Royal is a village located at the end of the Palisadoes at the mouth of the Kingston Harbour , in southeastern Jamaica . Founded in 1518 by the Spanish , it was once the largest city in the Caribbean , functioning as the centre of shipping and commerce in the Caribbean Sea by the latter half of the 17th century . It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692 ( June , 7 ) , which had an accompanying tsunami . Severe hurricanes have regularly damaged it . Another severe earthquake occurred in 1907 .   Port Royal was once home to privateers encouraged to attack Habsburg Spain 's vessels when smaller European powers dared not directly make war on Spain . As a port city , it was notorious for its gaudy displays of wealth and loose morals . It was a popular homeport for the English and Dutch-sponsored privateers to spend their treasure during the 17th century .
