Dr Kamalabadi with Farzam Kamalabadi with the former President of Ghana HE. John Dramani Mahama. CM- Tell our readers about the Future Trends Africa Manifesto: The Collective Peaceful Rise of Africa. FK- I wrote the manifesto 2 years ago because Africa must be the source of its economy and the epicentre of its prosperity. Africa must become the GIVER not the receiver and the source to the solution of its problems. The time is right for Africa's universal recognition and realization of “The New Realm of Possibilities”, creating a simple, yet drastic conscious and subliminal attitude changes and mindset shift. African nations must become global LEADERS not followers. I have no doubt whatsoever that Africa is an Ecosystem for Africa First. African nations will become First World nations. CM- What is the goal for Africa as per the Future Trends manifesto? FK- To spread the paradigm shift with a new consciousness and action movement like wildfire across all communities and societies; throughout the continent, media, nations leadership and parliaments; universities and schools; academia and thinkers’ tanks; youth and children; rural areas and clusters; creating the buzz of the upcoming colossal transformation.

CM- Why do you think this is possible? FK- African Nations are each wealthier than Arab Gulf States such as Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Dubai, Abu Dhabi. In actualized wealth African nations are also wealthier than European nations. Africa as the continent is wealthier and higher than China & Asia.

This can be achieved with the release of dormant assets & wealth potentials independent of and without aid, without reliance on foreign direct investments. CM- What is the time frame to achieve these laudable goals? FK- It might sound ambitious, but I know indeed below realities that all will be fully activated and realized within 7-8 Years of the next decade. Our motto is: From Africa, in Africa, by Africa, for Africa, and for export outside of Africa as outbound contributions to the world communities". CM- So how do you see Africa’s future? FK- An Africa with zero debt. An Africa exporter of capital and net exporter of aid. I see Africans as wealthy but not proud, not selfish, and not self-centred. Africa will design and implement an ideal effective trickle own systems for well distributed wealth to rural areas and townships in the provinces and will be the first to implement Universal embedded benevolence. The continent will have many Neutral zones and special economic regions. Dr Kamalabadi with President Biden; and with Vice-president Kamala Haris at the White House during the US-Africa Summit in December 2022 CM- And politically? FK- Africa will go beyond the so-called democracy of bi-partisan, adversarial system. There is no need for the old model of two opposing political parties on a superhighway of direct collision going in two opposing directions with constant cashes; rather it will implement the model of 45 degrees or 60 degrees convergence and coalition, even consensus among parties and systems; all arrayed peacefully and in collective consultation culture of alignment in one single direction towards the elevation of the nations. No more ruling party vs opposition party model. No more confrontational clash as all differing systems will converge and merge into one directional upward. We must build consensus among all leaders (the Head, the Heart, the Pillars) and work on the aggregation of all resources, projects, programs, and initiatives by fast tracking accelerated model of "vortexes" and mega multiplier effects of converge, merge, integrate, aggregate, monetize, digitalize, multiply, and seamlessly distribute. CM- I am very impressed and have no doubt that you will be successful in this mission. It is now Africa’s time. FK- Indeed. Africa is the origin of our human civilization. The magical continent is blessed with a brilliant destiny, endowed with the richest human, material, mental, and cultural resources. It is where the fate of humanity has a chance of renewal and rebirth.

Breguet continues its collaboration with Frieze New York, taking place May 17th through 21st at The Shed in Manhattan A year after announcing its partnership with Frieze, the contemporary art fair, the luxury watch manufacturer is pleased to renew this collaboration with a series of curated presentations that will activate their lounge. During Frieze New York, taking place May 17th through 21st at The Shed in Manhattan, Breguet will unveil the first iteration of a curatorial project conceived by the Seoul - and Paris - based independent curator Somi Sim, which will unfold across Frieze’s Fairs in London, Los Angeles, New York and Seoul throughout the year. “What excites me about working with Frieze and Breguet is the potential to expand transdisciplinary discourses and perspectives. Reflecting on Breguet’s heritage of invention and know how [savoir-faire], I aim to explore how our perception of time is constructed, and how contemporary art can represent time occurring beyond the linear. I want this collaboration to show the complexity of a ‘universal’ time, allowing us to recontextualise time across geopolitical divisions, cultural differences, and other boundaries,” says Somi Sim of the project. Breguet’s lounge, accessible to visitors on the 8th Floor at The Shed, will provide for a unique immersive experience that combines an artistic vision and the art of fine watchmaking. For the second year of this partnership, Frieze and Breguet take a new approach, appointing curator Somi Sim to oversee four distinct curated displays in the Breguet lounges across the year. An independent curator based between Seoul and Paris, Sim’s curatorial practice engages history, urbanism, design and contemporary art. Upon visiting the Breguet manufacture and museum, Somi Sim was impressed by the know-how and meticulousness of the Breguet craftsmen, and was inspired by the complex engineering involved in the production of our perception of ‘time’. Setting the scene for the year-long project, the first chapter at Frieze New York is titled ‘Orbital Time’. Featuring works by international artists, including a bespoke installation by the renowned Raqs Media Collective, will challenge notions of standardized time. Reflecting on the art of watchmaking and #Breguet's technical innovations, the presentation will frame horology as a landscape for exploration.

May 16, 2023 in Cannes, France. | Photo Credit: Getty Images The Cannes Film Festival red carpet sprang to life Tuesday with the premiere of the Louis XV period drama Jeanne du Barry, with Johnny Depp, as the French Riviera movie pageant launched a star-studded and potentially controversy-rife 76th edition. “Jeanne du Barry” stars Johnny Depp as King Louis XV. The film tells the story of Madame du Barry, who climbs the social ladder in France to eventually became the favorite of King Louis XV, scandalizing the French court. In addition to Depp, the film also stars Maïwenn, Benjamin Lavernhe, Pierre Richard and Louis Garrel. Throngs of onlookers shouted “Johnny!” as Depp, in purple-hued sunglasses signed autographs and edged back into the spotlight following his explosive trial last year with ex-wife Amber Heard. Jeanne du Barry, directed and co-starring Maïwenn, has been billed as Depp's comeback—as the actor stepped alongside Maïwenn on the red carpet holding hands tightly. The success of this movie is pivotal for Depp and he selects one of the greatest stages in the world to confirm his status, though his prominent presence at Cannes has been hotly debated. A coterie of stars streamed down Cannes’ famous red carpet for the opening night ceremony, including Brie Larson, Uma Thurman (above), Gong Li, Elle Fanning, Naomi Campbell, Catherine Deneuve (who graces this year’s festival poster) and a blue-haired Helen Mirren, who carried a fan labeled #worthit. During the opening ceremony, Michael Douglas received an honorary Palme d’Or, with his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones and their daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas, looking on from the audience. “I'm even older than the festival," said Douglas, 78, after receiving a warm standing ovation.

Belonging to a humble middle-class family, Mrs Ambani took up Bharatnatyam classes from a young age and soon became a professional Bharatnatyam dancer. It was a dance performance at a cultural event when the-then business tycoon and ‘Reliance’ chairman Dhirubhai Ambani and his wife Kokilaben were impressed by Nita’s performance, that they immediately sought her as their daughter-in-law; and she became Mrs Nita Mukesh Ambani. Though married to the business tycoon Mukesh Ambani; Mrs Nita Ambani decided to do her bit for society and maintained a humble and modest lifestyle. She avoided the spotlight for a very long period and focused on raising her three children, Akash, Isha, and Anant. Her strong belief in helping raise the standard of life of people around, spreading education and helping in the development of the rural area has made her a force to reckon with. She founded Dhirubhai Ambani Foundation School, in 2003; and under her leadership, the Reliance Foundation has launched several projects that aim towards the betterment of society! Let me take you through a few of Mrs Nita Ambani’s business accomplishments: After being elected to the Board of East India Hotels, Mrs Ambani made her professional debut in the world of business. She became the first female board member of Reliance Industries Ltd, and one of her largest ventures was the co-ownership of the IPL cricket team: Mumbai Indians.

Mrs Nita Ambani is often seen flaunting a traditional Indian look with extravagant jewellery, and one cannot miss the Jadau and Polki jewellery; through which Mrs Ambani graciously displays Indian tradition and culture. Mrs Nita Ambani is also an admirer of Pearl jewels and has a spectacular collection!Isn’t she a true reflection of poise, grace and Indian culture? Lastly, I would like to highlight the big fat Ambani family wedding.

Celebrity Chef Gal Ben Moshe has worked internationally in top establishments since an early age; nevertheless, he continues to be inspired by the flavours of Levantine cuisine that he seeks to expand and reinterpret. Discover in the interview below what makes his Michelin-starred food presented at prism so inspiring and popular in Berlin. Before moving to Berlin in 2012 to open his restaurant GLASS, Chef Gal Ben Moshe evolved his culinary career under great chefs such as Jason Atherton, Marcus Wareing and Grant Achatz. There he was awarded 16 points in the Gault & MiIllau and for his master craftsmanship as well as for his unique cuisine was nominated for the Berlin Master Chef Award. Today at prism he wants more and creates an exciting and dynamic culinary experience for his guests, that starts with the carefully selected decor and attentive service. Chef Gal Ben Moshe. All images courtesy of www.prismberlin.de It was a pleasure to see you earlier this year at the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival. How did you decide to accept the invitation to join the event as a Guest Chef and was this your first visit to St. Moritz? I was contacted very early by Fabrizio Zanetti, who is both the head chef at Suvretta House and the culinary director of the festival. He told me he was planning on doing this year's festival around Mediterranean cuisine, and I found that to be fantastic. I tried my best to help curate the chefs and recommend some colleagues. I like to think of myself as an ambassador for Levantine cuisine. I think it is the next big thing, and I thought it was a great idea. I was honored to be picked by Mr. Zanetti so early in the process. It was my first time in St. Moritz, and it was like nothing I could’ve imagined. We really felt on top of the world. You work with ingredients that are essential to Middle Eastern cooking: fresh herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, and spices. As a true artist, you combined all these in a particular dessert, the Olive Oil Parfait— a masterpiece dish to taste and look at that crowned the Closing Night of the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival at the Kulm Hotel. How long is the development process for a recipe like this? My cuisine revolves around ingredients that are unique to the region. In winter, it is difficult to source special fresh ingredients from the Levante, so we retreat a it to pantry produce. The olive oil dessert was the dessert on the opening menu at Prism. I had a plan for a dessert around figs, but as opening was delayed from August to November, I realized I needed to make a new dessert. On one of my shopping runs in October, just before the opening, to the Arabic markets in Neukölln, I noticed the unripe olives in the shops coming in from the harvest that has just started in southern Europe and the Levante. I was really inspired by that and wanted to create a dessert around olives and their different ripening stages. St. Moritz ORIENTAL CLOSING NIGHT 2023 ©David Bacher So the olive oil parfait, the brine marmalade, and the caramelized black olives. Then complement it with acidity (citrus) and nuttiness (almonds), two flavor characteristics that are used to define olive oil. Ever since then, I serve this dessert on every autumn menu (between October and January). The initial version really flew out of me; I created it in the space of 2-3 days. But we have been serving it for 5 years, and every new version we make is a better and improved version. So in truth, the recipe is never ‘finished'; It is always a work in progress. During the same gala night, you mentioned that you had the best welcome and host, Chef Rolf Fliegauf, at the Hotel "Giardino Mountain." What makes this property so unique? I think that for me, unlike the big hotels, the small, intimate, but fine Giardino Mountain was a perfect setting. What made it truly magical were Rolf and his lovely wife, Jennifer. We clicked almost instantly, they’re simply great people and perfect hosts, and in a way, they are very similar to my wife and me. They really made me feel at home, and I will forever be grateful for this experience. It is quite rare to make friends during a stressful event like this, but I feel like I have made new friends for life. Since an early age and as a celebrity chef, you have worked internationally in top establishments; nevertheless, you continue to prepare Levantine inspired dishes today. What makes this food, in your opinion, so inspiring and popular in northern Europe? I reached Levantine cuisine by mistake. I don’t do it as an homage to my inheritance or because my grandmother used to cook like this. I grew up in a pretty eclectic household; my parents were definitely foodies, but they were more likely to go out to a Chinese or French restaurant than anything ‘Levantine’. I spent a lot of years avoiding cooking Levantine cuisine, but once I started cooking it, I got sucked into it, not because of some spiritual or patrioticconnection but because of academic fascination. I truly believe it to be an unexplored and underestimated cuisine. There is still so much potential to be unearthed from the different techniques, ingredients. I always tell my team that we are very early in the process of discovering our true potential. I think the reason it is so popular is that the flavors are bold and uncompromising, it is fresh, with a lot of vegetables; it fits the current climate; and the smokey aroma is really touching people in a primal way. I think it is the next hot global trend. At Prism, you work on the team with your wife, Jacqueline Lorenz (above). who is one of Germany's top 50 sommeliers. What are the key benefits of working with a close relative? I think it can be one of the hardest things to do, but at the end of the day, I wouldn’t have it any other way. You get a business partner who is really with you in the most uncompromising manner. Her commitment and perfectionism complement my personality, and we work great as a team together. We are both very driven and look at the restaurant as our fourth child in a way. It is a very demanding line of work, but we get to spend every waking moment together. I think if we were to work apart, we’d hardly see each other. How often do you renew the menu at Prism? And can anybody appreciate the dishes even if they don't try Levantine food before? We are uber seasonal, because the Levant is very uber seasonal with the radical season changes. So we would do 6 menus every year, but they are not equal in length. We try to use some preservation techniques to elongate some of the menus, but our winter menu for example is around 10 weeks long because it is a very short and poor season in term of available ingredients and produce. My food isn’t Levantine per se. My goal is to create a new culinary language using Levantine ingredients and techniques, I don’t deal with authenticity. My kitchen leans quite a lot on international influences, be it French or Japanese, but always with a Levantine spirit in it, I think it makes everybody find something familiar in what we do and make it easier for the guests to relate to what we do, even if they don’t have the emotional connection to Levantine cuisine. When using unique ingredients which are not globally known, we try our best to introduce them to ourguests before the start of the menu. What's your signature dish at Prism? Stone Bass with unripe grapes, grilled leeks, verjus beurre blanc and mediterranean shrimps XO sauce. It is everything that my concept is, but also tells the story of who I am. Where I worked before and my travels around the world. I was always a fish-first chef, as I started my professional career in as a simple employee at a local fishmonger and importer. It gave me tools that would later in my career lead me to work the fish station in most restaurants. The choice of Mediterranean fish and shrimps is part of my obsession with the taste and uniqueness of the fish I grew up eating, cooking and preparing. The Unripe grapes and the verjus are by-products of the yielding of the vines (cutting off unripe clusters to help the vine concentrate its efforts only on the best grapes), with verjus used as the lemon juice of the Levante for hundreds of years before the popularisation of lemon juice. The XO sauce is inspired by my life altering pop-up in Hong Kong when I just started cooking Levantine cuisine. The dish is inspired by Sole Verinque, which is grounded in my early career work in Modern French Fine dining restaurants. This dish, more than anything, is part of my personality. It is a dish that not only represents my cuisine but also represents me as a person, I genuinely think no other chef could have made it this way. Moving to Berlin and launching two restaurants doesn't leave much free time; do you cook privately, and do you have plans for a cookbook? I like cooking at home for my kids. I know it’s a different standard to Michelin star cooking, but there is no greater joy than watching my kids eat my food without drowning it in ketchup and actually finishing their plates. I would love to write a cookbook some day, I have a lot I’d like to share. I think our field is all about the sharing of knowledge.

Sportsman of the Year Messi creates history at the 2023 Laureus World Sports Awards. Argentine legend picks up Laureus World Sportsman of the Year and Team of the Year Awards at star-studded ceremony in Paris Lionel Messi wears a black wool printed tuxedo jacket with satin lapels, tuxedo pants and black derbies. For more information: www.louisvuitton.com Carlos Alcaraz wears Louis Vuitton to the 2023 Laureus World Sport Awards Carlos Alcaraz’s victory at the 2022 US Open and rise to the world No.1 spot saw him collect the Laureus World Breakthrough of the Year Award. Alcaraz enjoyed a phenomenal 2022 in which he won the US Open and became tennis’s youngest-ever men’s No.1 player – the Spaniard only turned 20 a few days before picking up his Laureus Statuette. Lionel Messi made sporting history at the prestigious 2023 Laureus World Sports Awards in Paris on Sunday evening. The football legend – who led Argentina to the World Cup in 2022 – became the first athlete to win the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year and also pick up the Laureus World Team of the Year Award in the same year. The biggest show in sport was back as a live and in-person event for the first time since 2020 – and every one of the eight Award winners was there to celebrate an extraordinary sporting year. They were joined by the sporting legends of the Laureus World Sports Academy, Laureus Award winners from previous years and some of the world’s greatest athletes at a glittering ceremony at the Pavillon Vendome. The Laureus World Sports Awards kick off a sensational year of sport in France, and Paris in particular. In the Autumn, the Rugby World Cup will be the focus of the sporting world, with both semi-finals and the final taking place at the nearby Stade de France. Then, in 2024, the same stadium will host track and field competition as the Olympics and Paralympics come to Paris. After a year in which the greatest footballer of his generation finally added the #FIFA World Cup to his resumé – winning the Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player for good measure – Messi took to the stage twice: to receive the Laureus World Team of the Year Award on behalf of the #Argentina men’s football team, and to claim his second Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award, after sharing that prize with Lewis Hamilton in 2020. If #Messi can be considered one of the greatest #footballers of all time, then the winner of the Sportswoman of the Year Award is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest female sprinters in history. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce’s memorable 2022 – including the 100m gold medal at the World Athletics Championships – saw her pick up the #Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year Award.

Every single ingredient that we can find is extremely important; obviously, water plays a huge role in our approach to thinking and cooking. I have a few fishermen with whom I speak daily to make sure I get the freshest fish from the Adriatic every day. We are lucky to be surrounded by water. What inspires you to focus on authenticity as well as sustainability in fine gastronomy? I will always be true to my values, expressing what's around me with deep lightness. I will always get inspired by what is around me and see the beauty everywhere.
