Christianity: Christianity Today discusses the significant role played by single women missionaries in translating the Bible.
Sojourners reminds us that the Resurrection of Christ was first revealed to women, and women were the first to tell others about it. (The article says that the men were in hiding).
Ethics: Sojourners examines the recent bombing of an airfield in Syria, and concludes that the action was not justifiable under Just War Theory, mostly because, they say, Mr. Trump did not have "right intentions." (Some of the criteria for a Just War were met.)
Humor: (Sort of) Nature tells us why and how our shoelace knots fail.
(and, again, sort of) Listverse tells us a lot about the history of the design of playing cards, both artistically and structurally.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight tells us that Mr. Trump is hardly the first US President to become more hawkish soon after installation in office, and tells us why this is so.
Scientific American discusses some of the challenges to building a border wall (and some of the kinds of damage such a wall would do.)
Science: Listverse discusses 10 extinct species that some scientists want to bring back to life.
Listverse also discusses the 10 most important scientific discoveries of the past 10 years.
The New York Times reports that climate change has re-routed an Alaskan river.
The Washington Post reports on a specimen of a giant worm-like mollusc. (Molluscs are the phylum to which clams, oysters, snails and slugs belong.)
