By: Jim ScherrerAs we all know, Christopher Columbus, while searching for China, first discovered the Americas when he arrived in San Salvador in 1492. On his second voyage, he landed in the Caribbean Islands, and on his last voyage in 1498, he arrived in the area of Venezuela. In 1497, the Italian sailor Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), exploring on behalf of England, landed in Labrador and Newfoundland. Unfortunately, neither of these sailors was very well educated nor inclined to thoroughly document their voyages.In 1499, an educated Italian named Amerigo Vespucci joined a Spanish fleet and sailed to Venezuela. A few years later, the king of Portugal enlisted Vespucci to pilot another voyage to Brazil and by 1508, the voyages that Vespucci participated in were well documented. Although Amerigo Vespucci was a relatively insignificant person and had never led an expedition or discovered anything, his name appeared on much of the documentation and many of the New World land surveys. Using all of the freshly generated documentation, a German cartographer named Martin Waldseemuller prepared the first map of the New World in 1507. With documentation prepared by Amerigo Vespucci as his...more

Perhaps you enjoy the frenzy of gift shopping each year. I hate it. I am too busy for Christmas shopping and have things I would far rather do.Perhaps you manage to buy unusual gifts for everyone and their faces light up with delight when they open their Christmas presents. My family make polite ripples of appreciation, then I find the chocolates, smellies or whatever, tucked away unopened in a cupboard six months later. (They can usually manage to work their way through the alcohol!)I really resent the waste of time and money for gifts that just do not hit the mark with the recipient. It's not that I'm mean, or uncaring, I just do NOT know what to buy people.My family and friends are all lucky enough that they have everything they want - well, at least in the category of expenses that I can afford as a gift. I dare say a Christmas Porsche for one son would raise more enthusiasm and the other would be delighted with the keys to his own house. But with a tight Christmas budget and as I have no idea what gifts to buy for people, I need to get a little creative.What are the most top characteristics of a good Christmas gift?1.It should be unusual - not the same old slippers, smellies...more
