		<description><![CDATA[Every Tuesday, I like to share a learning tidbit on literature. Today, Gabriel Garcia Marquez&#8217;s greatest work  (in my humble opinion)  100 Years of Solitude struck me as a good choice. His epic novel follows the complete lineage of one family in a poetic and touching way. His word choice is descriptive, eloquent, and mixes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!&#8221; ~Monty Pythons You may be familiar with the Monty Python&#8217;s version of the Spanish inquisition, and it does hold a bit of truth to it in that its accused were never quite sure of what was happening and why. The actual Spanish Inquisition, started by Ferdinand V and Isabella of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me, when I hear the words “stem cell” it’s usually followed shortly after by “research”. I have a very high-level concept of what it means. I know it cures diseases and can be beneficial, and I know it’s controversial. Why? That I am not sure. So, what is a stem cell? It is a [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll admit I haven&#8217;t seen the movie (it&#8217;s on my list though), but I have read the book. At least I get a point for that, most times it&#8217;s the other way around.

No that my lifestyle is completely unhealthy, but at times I just don&#8217;t have the will power to choose health over convenience. So, that&#8217;s where [...]]]></description>

The word metaphysics literally means ‘after physics’ as it was chronologically written after the books on nature. His work focuses on reality, existence, and being in terms of [...]]]></description>

Beowulf is no different, and if you aren&#8217;t familiar with this English literature, then you probably recognize it from the 2007 movie version which starred Angelina Jolie.

The kind of star implosions I&#8217;m referring to in particular are black holes. If you&#8217;ve ever seen Star Trek, you probably have an image in your head of a space ship swirling into a dark, black abyss. That can serve as a [...]]]></description>
