Parkrun, which recently marked its millionth global event, is a cultural phenomenon. Every Saturday, in 23 countries worldwide, tens of thousands of people gather in their local parks first thing in the morning to run 5km around a predetermined route. Upon finishing, they get a barcode token that’s scanned by volunteers so an official finishing time can be recorded. But parkrun doesn’t have to be about finishing in the fastest time.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra: How Samsung's next foldable could square up with the iPhone Fold

Jul 07, 2026 |

| Inkl

It’s hard to believe that 2026 will see the eighth generation of Samsung’s foldable phones. Somehow, the best foldables still feel a little bit magical compared to regular flat handsets. But with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Samsung may need more "wow" factor than ever. That’s because reports claim that Apple will finally release its own iPhone Fold later this fall to rival what Samsung and other device makers already offer on the foldable front. So how does Samsung meet that challenge?

God is love and the urgent call to love our neighbour : The deepest structure of reality is not domination or fear, but self-giving love, writes Alan Martin

God created mankind in his own image. This does not mean that humans physically resemble God, but rather that humans uniquely reflect something of God’s ultimate nature and character. Specifically, God is rational and loving and humans can reflect this through moral awareness and rationality expressed through the virtues of love and humility. This is absolutely true of every person, regardless of whether they are Christian or indeed of any specific religious persuasion.
