Will I Am is one of the biggest stars on the planet‌ collaborating with some of the hottest names in music, William Adams has now become the biggest songwriter, artist, entrepreneur, actor, producer and philanthropist of the 21st century.
10
B
orn in March 1975, Will I Am grew up in a neighbourhood in East Los Angeles and was always destined to become a star. Attending school in the more affluent West side of the city, Will’s mother encouraged him to be unique and told him to pursue a career in music. It was at school that Will met and became lifelong friends with Allan Pineda (who would soon become apl.de.ap) and the two started performing in L.A Clubs with three other musicians. The five entertainers soon formed the band Atban Klann. The band was performing one night when they caught the eye of record bosses and in particular Eazy-E who later signed them to his label Ruthless Records.
apl.de.ap
Will and Atban Klann worked with Eazy-E, even releasing an album, until Eazy’s death which prompted Will to replace one of the musicians with Jamie Gomez, or Taboo as he is known to fans now. The band decided to change their name to the Black Eyed Pods but later in 1998, they replaced it with the now familiar Black Eyed Peas. Releasing two albums the band were signed by Interscope Records, who helped them gain recognition and achieve relative notoriety for their music, with songs appearing on soundtracks and played in clubs. Around the same time, Will began
recording his first solo album, Lost Change, which became a critical success and cemented his status as a singer and musician to watch out for.
In 2001, the band, consisting of just three members (Will I Am, apl.de.ap and Taboo) began work on their third studio album Elephunk and it was during the production of the now famous single Shut Up, that they realized a female voice would make the song sound even better. Originally Nicole Scherzinger (of Pussycat Doll fame) was approached to put her vocals to the record as a guest performer, but, as she was contracted to another band, she was forced to decline. Former Peas member Dante Santiago and continued friend of Will, knew an up-andcoming singer called Stacey Ann Ferguson (Fergie), whom he introduced to Will and her vocals were added not only to Shut Up but to the whole album, making her status in the Peas permanent. Fergie
The album gained commercial and critical success, not only in the U.S but around the world, with the singles, Where Is The Love?, Shut Up and Hey Mama all reaching high chart positions. Around this time Will also recorded his second solo album, Must be 21.
It was after the release of the Black Eyes Peas fourth album Monkey Business, which garnered worldwide accolade and earned the band their first Grammy award, that Will and the band decided to take a break and concentrate on their solo careers.
The Grammys, 2005
It was then that Will’s producing career really took off, with some of the biggest names in music wanting to work with the star. Singers including Fergie and Michael Jackson, who requested Will’s expertise, to produce his new album – the pair worked together until Jackson’s death in 2009. In 2007, Will co-created an allfemale band Paradiso Girls and collaborated with them on his next solo release, Songs about 11
12
Girls, creating hits including I Got It From My Mama, One More Chance and Heartbreaker. Overall, the album didn’t fare that well with critics and it wasn’t until Will collaborated and featured on the albums of Flo Rida and Usher that his solo singing career was noticed once more. During the 2008 Presidential campaigns, Will announced that he would be masterminding a political album entitled Change Is Now in support of Barack Obama. The four main singles on the album featured appearances from supporters of Obama in videos that chartered the now-Presidents success and events leading up to his victory. Stars in the videos include Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Amber Valleta, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Alba,Fergie, Macy Gray, Zoe Kravitz, Kayne West, Taboo, Kevin Bacon, Seal, Bono, Mary J. Blige and Faith Hill, among others. After the success of the political album, Will I Am announced that the Black Eyed Peas would be reforming and their first comeback single Boom Boom Pow was a great success, as were the following three singles before they released their album The E.N.D. The triumph of the album encouraged the band to release another in 2010 entitled The Beginning as well as a world tour. However the band and Will wanted to do more solo projects so once again they disbanded and Will worked with more big names in the industry. Collaborating on songs with Flo Rida, Akon, Cheryl Cole and Rihanna, as well as writing (and producing) Usher’s smash hit OMG, firmly established Will as the producer to have on an album. It was during the production of the Black Eyes Peas last album that Will began recording his fourth solo album. The singer collaborated with some other big names for the album including Nicki Minaj and Steve Aoki but it was after recording music for the film Rio which also features on the album that Will decided to change its name from Black Einstein to #willpower.

Since then other musicians have also been featured on the album which was finally released on 19th April - including Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Chris Brown and Britney Spears who sung Scream & Shout with Will, gaining chart topping success. Aside from music, Will has lent his hand to a variety of projects including fashion, tv, and movies as well as charitable organisations. He began designing his own fashion collection in 2001 after expressing an interest in design while attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in L.A before the Peas success took off. His signature clothing line debuted in Las Vegas in 2005 and he then collaborated with Blue Holdings to design the denim range i.am Antik. Will has also put his creative talents to other uses including car design, recently launching the company IAMAUTO and creating a customised car complete with crazy futuristic design and amazing gadgetry implements including car door unlock using his iphone. The star lent his voice to animated movies in recent years‌creating the voice of Moto Moto in the hilarious Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa, as well as Pedro in the highly colourful Rio, both of which have soundtracks featuring Will’s vocals. Apart from animated motion pictures, Will made his big screen debut in the superhero film X-Men Origins: Wolverine playing John Wraith alongside Hugh Jackman; and appeared as himself in the comedy Date Night with Tina Fey and Steve Carell.
Last year saw Will take to the small screen in the much anticipated talent show, The Voice UK, as one of the coaches / judges, something the producers thought he would be great at, as he has a nurturing nature and is not afraid to tell it like it is. In preparation for the job, Will is said to have spoken with friend Cheryl Cole (who worked on The X Factor) for tips and advice.
The second series of the show is currently airing on BBC1 on Saturday nights and Will has many projects moving forward over the next year. #willpower and the latest single released from it, #thatPOWER with Justin Bieber, are both available on iTunes and the musician is hoping to take it on a world tour this year.

Holiday Scams Bogus holiday salespeople
!
l B efore you even leave the UK or your country of residence you could become the victim of a scam holiday company: the internet and teletext provide a cloak of anonymity for such fraudsters looking to make easy money from innocent holidaymakers. l T he old saying that if a deal looks too good to be true then it most likely is, is increasingly relevant in the internet age. While it’s tempting to try and cut back on costs, you are better off paying a bit more with a reputable company you can trust. Check if the company is a member of a trade body such as The Travel Association (ABTA) or the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). Always be suspicious if the site has a large credit card loading fee or says it does not accept payment by card.
The tour rep
!
l P articularly with package deals, your tour rep may seem like somebody to trust: he or she should know the area and the best places to go to have a good time after all. l H owever, chances are he or she will have local contacts too and they’ll line your rep’s pockets if he/ she sends punters their way. l B eware of your rep’s recommendations for eating out and day trips because they are not necessarily the best places. l I t’s your holiday, so why not take some extra time to explore and trust your own instinct when it comes to choosing what to do. Alternatively, buy a guide book or check out TripAdviser for recommendations from fellow travellers. 16
Paying over the odds or falling r victim to scammers could be you ticket to a holiday from hell! Here are some fraudsters you want to stay well clear of when it comes to your holiday this summer.
Pickpockets
!
l T hieves come in the form of pickpockets, scam artists, burglars and more frequently muggers. As tourists we are prime targets for these thieves. We tend to carry valuable objects and are unlikely to hang around to be witnesses at trials. However, with a little forewarning and exercising some foresight we can significantly reduce our chances of becoming targets. Many if not most pickpockets work in groups. All take advantage of your attention being on something other than your pocket, usually by providing their own misdirection. Here are a few examples: l B eware of the man that steps on your leg and then wants to brush off the dirt. While you’re watching him, his partner is going through your pockets. l B eware the colourful character that comes up to you to sell a scarf, flower, tell your fortune, give you an herb, etc. If you take out your wallet to buy or give money, you will be amazed to be told “no, not necessary” as her hand zips or shuts your wallet for you. Later, of course, you will find your money is gone and again be amazed by this colourful character’s sleight of hand. l B eware if coins or other objects are accidentally dropped in front of you. (As you assist in picking them up, another person is assisting in the removal of your wallet). l B eware if groups of individuals (usually women or kids) suddenly surround you, sometimes holding a paper in front of your view. l B eware if an individual tries to polish your shoes without your permission.
Fake taxi drivers
!
l O pportunists or fraudsters looking for a quick buck tout themselves as taxi drivers to lure tourists at the end of a night out, lurking around to take advantage of your post-drinks relaxed state. At the start of the night make sure you clock where the proper taxi ranks are and never get into an unmarked taxi.
Fake policemen
!
l R esearch from Which? showed 5% of travellers have encountered someone posing as a policeman in the last two years. l Y ou may think you would never fall foul of this, but these scammers are confident, cocky and prepared to take advantage of your relaxed mood. l P lain-clothed ‘policemen’ will ask holidaymakers to see their passport or drivers licence and even ask for cash, on the pretence that you fit a suspect’s description. They then run off with your passport and/or money.

Signs a of Are you in a rebound relationship? The definition given for such a relationship according to the Wikitionary is ‘A relationship usually short in duration and used to help mend the broken heart.’ In other words, it can be called a bounce back relationship or a relationship formed too quickly after the breakup of a significant love relationship. Many times people involved in relationships also get into rebound relationships if they want their existing relationships to end especially when they have already emotionally distanced themselves from their partners. For many, Rebound flings serve as a distraction to forget the hurt, emotional pain and loneliness after the break up. Many people get into such relationships as a quick fix to forget their old partners and move on with their lives rather than feeling miserable over the relationship which ended. For some others it is the fear of being alone after a broken relationship which prompts them to get into the dating scene again fast. I understand that it is quite natural that one would want to leave behind a bad relationship and move forward in life, but the majority of times rebound relationships only bring regret and further hurt. However, there are many signs to identify if you or your partner is involved in a rebound relationship. A Rebound Relationship is a relationship one may get into immediately after coming out of one. It may happen after a divorce or break up of a love relationship. Rushing into rebound relationships often ends up with more hurt and pain. Have you or any of your friends rushed into a new relationship immediately after a break up only to get into a relationship with someone who was obviously all wrong and then regret it? This is one of the most common after effects of Rebound Dating.
24
It is only natural to feel lonely or scared of being alone after a break up. But it would be wise to give your heart some time to heal. There is no point in getting scared to date again after a failed relationship. All you have to do is accept and believe that the earlier relationship was not meant for you, rather than holding on to it and crying over it, and believe that something better is in store for you. Dwelling on the past can only make one miserable.
Below are ways of identifying a rebound relationship. 1. Getting into a Relationship too fast: This is the most common sign of a rebound relationship. Especially if you have been in a long-term relationship which went sour it is a natural feeling that you may want to bounce back to forget the hurt and pain of the previous relationship, get over your ex and get into a better relationship. It may act as a distraction or a form of catharsis, but remember not to allow your sense of urgency to rush in the wrong direction causing further heart break. 2. Expecting the qualities of an ex, or those he or she lacked, in the New Partner: Another common sign is expecting your new partner to make up for the shortcomings and mistakes of the old partner or expect him/her to have the qualities and traits you admired in your previous lover. It is also a normal tendency among many to draw comparisons between your current and ex partner and talk openly about it. This type of behaviour can make a person become too demanding and ruin the new relationship too. 25

3. Using others a rebound for self satisfaction or as a tool of jealousy: Many people get into a rebound mode with the intention of hurting their ex or to show that they do not matter anymore, without any intention of commitment or involvement and masking the purpose with the new person involved. It can be either way and usually someone ends up being used or hurt as a result because once the purpose of the rebound relationship is served, that person would be abandoned. Beware of rebounders who may use you to distract themselves from the pain of a broken heart and then move on, leaving you to pick up the pieces. It is always best to be honest with your new relationship partner about your intentions. 4. U nhappiness: Many times, people get into rebound relationships as a way to hit back at those who abandoned them. They may show themselves as outwardly happy when actually they feel miserable and guilty that they are doing something wrong. If you are in a relationship too soon and unhappy with the present partner, then it is probably a rebound fling you are into.
5. Not able to forget the ex: This is another prominent sign that though you may have jumped into a new relationship soon after your breakup or divorce, you keep thinking of your ex more than your current partner because you have not fallen out of love with your ex still. One may also not feel the same way about the other and then find themselves drawing comparisons between the current partner and the ex. If the old relationship interferes with the progress of a new relationship then chances are that you’re stuck in a rebound. Similarly, if you are involved with someone who had a recent break up and he/she keeps rehashing problems from the past relationship within the new relationship, this is a clear sign that they haven’t moved on enough to fall in love again. It also could be a sign of a rebound affair if you prefer frequenting places you have gone with your ex, along with your new partner. As long as you harbour feelings for an old love, a new love can’t happen. According to Feng Shui you have to make way for the new by clearing the old.
When you develop a relationship quickly after one ended, it is rarely based on love and most often does not last for long. However, for many, rebounding can feel like love because of their craving for love and commitment. Many may convince themselves that they are in love when in reality they are really missing the relationship they left behind. It would be a wise move to give yourself some time after a break up and not rush into another relationship immediately, as your judgment is usually clouded after heartbreak and you are likely to make a wrong decision.

Flip-flops have become an essen tial part of our everyday wardrob e living in Spain. You can’t deny the ease and practicality of flip-flops, yet you have to acknowledge that showing ski n isn’t appropriate for every situati on . That’s why this collection of dos an d don’ts is specially designed to he lp you hoof it in the heat.
o’s D . Be buffed
Dont’s . Work it
. Find ones that fit
. Get hippified
Summer is the season where our feet come out to play in public for friends, family and strangers alike. A DIY clip-and-scrub is a must. Manky feet are a no-no.
You can hear the slip-slap sound of a pair that’s too big from a mile away. And seeing the embarrassing toe-curl created by a pair that’s smaller than it should be isn’t much better. Sizing can be tricky since flip-flops are typically made in ranges to cover half sizes (like 9-10 or 11-12). The rule: They should extend just past your heel. Pick a pair closest to your trainer size, and always remember to try them on first.
. Replace frequently
Unlike a leather lace-up or even a canvas-clad slipon, your flip-flop collection needs to be replenished every summer. It’s not just to capture the latest trend -- though that’s an added perk. The reason you need to stock up on an annual basis is because a flimsy flip-flop simply can’t hold up to repeated beatings by sun, surf and sand.
. Rub ‘em down
Flip-flops have a relatively short lifespan – a single season could (and probably should) end in their demise. Fortunately, a little care can extend their days. Wipe your flip-flops with a clean, damp cloth after each use. For models fashioned in foam, which bruises easily, a bath of soap and water is what works. When it doesn’t, chuck ‘em in the rubbish.
30
The office is no-no number 1 for flip-flops. They’re never acceptable. Wear proper shoes.
Some flip-flops are burdened with extraneous closures and clunky soles. You know, the Teva/Birkenstock variety that normally accompanies a hike in the woods. But flip-flops are best in their most basic form: A between-the-toe strap affixed to a firm but flexible bottom. One made of synthetics like plastic and foam is fine – even ideal in many cases.
. Go the distance
Flip-flops are super-specific footwear. They’re great for a trip to the beach, an errand in unbearable heat or lounging around on a Sunday Afternoon. But take flip-flops out of these environments, and the results can be disastrous. Walking for more than two continuous hours without the orthotic support your precious feet demand could lead to a host of health problems from tendinitis to back pain. Hopefully, you already know that getting all DIY in the garden while wearing a pair of plastic flip-flops is not a good idea.
. Feel the burn
Any type of footwear worn sockless (which, unless you’re a Eastern European tourist, is preferable) runs the risk of causing cuts, burns and blisters due to an increased level of chafing. But the problem is worse with flip-flops, because your feet are exposed to the elements. One poke or jab from an external object can spell serious injury. Spare yourself the pain and cover up when your feet are showing signs of abuse.
-Flops n Here are some Flip-flops for men and wome that are popular this season. Croc band
These are Casual comfort. For any season, any reason – whether warm, hot, or when you’re feeling cool. Slide those feet into the comfortable always-ready style of men’s flip-flops from Crocs.
Havaianas
This brand offers a variety of great rubber flip-flops that are perfect for any occasion. The signature brand of style, comfort, affordable luxury and positive energy combine to give you options like their colourful Graffiti men’s flip-flops, inspired by some of Brazil’s great street artists, or their University flip-flops aimed at both men and women. For a more modern look, check out the Urban Style line.
FitFlops
They are incredibly comfortable. Unlike most flip-flops that require you to scrunch your toes into claws to stop the things flying off, the webbing and upper of the FitFlop hold the foot snugly. The squidgy middle section is wobbling imperceptibly, forcing the muscles to work harder. Just as walking in sand is harder than walking on concrete, this is the feeling you get as they are a great workout for your calf muscles. All in all, walking in FitFlops requires 15 per cent more energy than ordinary walking. Why not buy a pair.

LÍNEA DIRECTA REPORTS ON NEW LEGISLATION FOR PAYING FINES On March 4th this year, new legislation governing the payment of fines for traffic offences was introduced in Spain. According to the new law, drafted and passed by the Spanish Directorate-General of Traffic (Dirección General de Tráfico) and the Ministry of the Interior, the payment of traffic fines in cash will no longer be accepted, and only payment by debit or credit card will be allowed. The authorities have cited security and economic efficiency as the reasons behind their decision due to the fact that once this new measure has been introduced, the risks and expenses involved with transporting money, will no longer exist. According to the DGT, the measure will only apply to the payment of fines. All the other administrative operations carried out at Provincial Traffic Headquarters, such as processing or renewing a driving licence, can still be paid for in cash. In order to make the payment, drivers must access the DGT webpage, www.dgt.es, or call the number 060. Although Provincial Headquarters will no longer accept payments in cash, drivers can still pay their fines in cash at any post office or Banco Santander branch. In this case, drivers will still be required to provide and attach the fine reference number.

Keep your skin glowing If your skin is prone to sensitivity or simply needs a boost, small changes in your regime can make all the difference. When you have a bath or shower, ensure the water is luke warm and not hot, because hot water can strip skin of its natural oils and cause it to dry out, irritating it further.
A simple and easy solution to preventing dryness is to apply Johnson’s Baby Oil directly to wet skin (not dry) and then pat your skin dry. In days you’ll notice the difference and be one step closer to babysoft skin. Sensitive skin sufferers would benefit from using moisturisers developed for their skin type such as E45. This well-known brand is renowned for its ability to help lock in moisture and is available in a number of different products. The basic moisturising lotion is also fragrance-free.
Keep your skin clean The hot weather and sunshine may be good for your vitamin D intake but if you suffer from spots or breakouts pay particular attention to your face in the sunshine. Sweating and sunshine can play havoc with your skin as you produce more sebum, which clogs the pores and leads to nasty pimples. It goes without
saying that regularly cleaning your face and avoiding squeezing or touching pimples no matter how tempting it may be can help. Never go to bed with make-up on because this can clog the pores up. Leave a packet of face wipes or facial pads in your bathroom and use these to remove your make-up every night. Other top tips for clearer, smoother skin include looking for products containing salicylic acid to help keep pores clear and to take your time when cleansing your skin. Spend a minute massaging it (cleanser) in gently using a circulation motion. This will boost the circulation and brighten your complexion. Also avoid scrubbing you skin too hard as this can cause irritation and exfoliate regularly to get rid of dead skin cells - this will also brighten your complexion.
Keep your skin hair-free
Prepping is key to giving the ultimate hair removal experience. Make sure you exfoliate and clean the skin, and always moisturise afterwards as this will keep the skin soft and looking radiant. There are many solutions now available, including home IPL kits that take the pain out of hair removal, but shaving is perhaps the quickest and most versatile.
Exfoliate with body scrubs
Keep your skin in tip-top condition by exfoliating once or twice a week using a body brush or salt scrub to remove dead skin and give your circulation a boost.” Soap & Glory Flake Away or Dead Sea Salt Magic Brushing. And if you get the odd in-growing hair, rubbing lemon juice on to the affected area - the fruit acids help to exfoliate the skin which should relieve the problem.
Fake tan For a quick-fix use wash-off tan as it instantly gives luminous glowing colour without the commitment of self-tan and because it sets when dry, there is no risk of it coming off. It’s so quick and easy to use, make sure you always apply with a mitt and lightly massage into the skin. For a light golden glow, try Ambre Solaire No Streak Glow Spray or Bourjois’ Délice de Soleil Bronzing Spray, which dries instantly.
Also, avoid the temptation to exercise straight after you’ve completed hair removal. Waxing is also effective however takes much longer because it requires hot wax to remove hair at the root but this does leave your pores open and so your skin is more susceptible to infection or irritation, so give your skin time to recover. 35
