Will Smith is beaming with energy and motivation as he hits the gym, progressing on a daily basis towards what he deems the best shape of his life. The 53-year-old ‘I am Legend’ actor posted to social media in May, revealing that the ‘dad bod’ he developed throughout the pandemic was the worst shape of his life. He had stated how the body carried him throughout the pandemic and that he loved it, but he wants to feel better. Now, he is posing photos and videos hitting the gym and doing everything from sit-ups to dumbbell presses.

Smith’s initial ‘dad post’ even inspired other celebrities to post similar photos and outline their fitness goals. The workout videos Smith posts seem intense as he flips tires and does heavy-weight back squats. ‘No more midnight muffins…this is it!’ The actor also announced that he is documenting his transformation with YouTube through a partnership for a new original series premiering next year.

World Cup every 2 years as FIFA plans leaked

Oct 20 2021

A massive and significant change to the game of football has just been leaked as FIFA’s plans to reduce the waiting time between World Cups to two years makes waves. FIFA plan to hold the match every two years starting in 2026, with the idea having been on FIFA president Gianni Infantino’s mind for a while. He seems keen on implementing the concept into reality, along with some more massive changes to the game.

The modification starting in five years’ time will also reduce the time each player will leave their respective clubs for international duty from 50 days a year to 30. This is also one of the reasons why FIFA justifies the initiative. Cadena Ser’s show ‘El Larguero’ leaked the documents, revealing that the World Cup Qualifiers will have a maximum of seven encounters, reducing also the number of international windows to two at best. One will be held in October and the other in March. The new schedule would be voted for in December and it seems as though there is a strong motion for it to be approved.

Alfred Sant calls for general elections to take place every four years and not five

Oct 20 2021

Former Labour leader Alfred Sant has asked whether it is time to reduce the five-year term by at least one year. Malta’s constitution sets the term of a legislature at five years, but the prime minister has the ability to call an election whenever he wishes. This is often used by the PM to seek a date best suited for political advantage over rivals. Now Sant has stated that since the 1992 election, it has almost become a custom that elections are held earlier than the five years mentioned in the Constitution.

He asks whether this is a sign that five years is too long for a legislature and that there is a legitimate argument for the normal term to return to a four-year period. In hindsight, looking back at the last seven elections since 1992, an election three months or before the natural end of legislature were held on five occasions. Sant’s own administration in 1996 was truncated after 22 months after losing a vote of confidence in parliament. The current legislature expires naturally in June 2022.

UK dog owners could get jail time if they put pets on vegetarian diets

Oct 20 2021

Warnings have been issued to British pet owners against putting their dogs on vegetarian diets as this could be made against the law. The UK’s Animal Welfare Act has stated that people must ensure their pets get a suitable diet which meets all the nutritional needs. According to a 2006 piece of legislation, there is no mention of specific contents of food given to dogs but British Veterinarian Association spokesperson Daniella Dos Santos emphasised the importance of informing people about what goes into the bowl.

She said that if one’s personal belief system leads to them abstaining from animal protein, that is fine. But that diet may not be designed to meet welfare standards of one’s pet. Dos Santos said that, theoretically, it is possible to feed a dog a vegetarian diet, but the risks of getting wrong are higher than getting it right. This could lead to a lot of suffering for dogs, which is why the UK law is trying to ensure people don’t mess with their diets too much. If the rules are broken, Brits could face up a fine of up to £20,000 or a jail sentence.
