Captain Phillips's Barkhad Abdi is broke

Sunday, March 09, 2014    

Barkhad Abdi (centre), pictured in a scene from Captain Phillips, told the magazine that during awards season his clothes were loaners and that he got a town car to drive him around, but only for film publicity.

Last Sunday night, Barkhad Abdi, the Somali American actor who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Captain Phillips was mixing with the great and the good of Hollywood at the Oscars. The movie was the 28-year-old's film debut for which he was paid $65,000 for starring in the picture. He left his job in his brother's mobile phone store when he got the gig, but now two years on, the money is spent and with no definite offers of work in the pipeline, he is completely broke. D ...

And the Oscar goes to... The 50 carefully curated guests from the Jamaican film and music industries, along with a bevy of fashionistas and foodies whom La Dame McDonald-Whyte deemed worthy.

My Kingston — David James Barber

Sunday, March 09, 2014    

What are your earliest memories of Montego Bay? My first encounter with Montego Bay was in 1979 when I glided in on an Air Jamaica DC-8. I was captivated by the smiling, handsome people; the hustle and bustle of the town, which was nowhere near as sprawling as it is today; and the mystical beauty of the velvet-green hills that beckoned to be discovered. And Half Moon... Fleetingly as a minor, but properly in 1979. I remember feeling quite at home in an atmosphere that was at once intimate, c ... Read More

Dear Orchid Doc: What does acclimatising an orchid plant mean? — Maureen St Ann's Bay Dear Maureen of St Ann's Bay: Acclimatisation refers to a slow process of getting the plant "used to" the sun. The plant is not 'rushed' into the sun, but rather introduced in a controlled manner. How does one control the amount of sun? Some people use a small shrub or palm plant or even " break a bush" like the farmers in St Elizabeth do, or stick it around the plant in question, and gradually as ... Read More

Powerful Tips To Build Your Personal Brand and Platform

By Paul Carrick Brunson | Sunday, March 09, 2014    

Whether we like it or not, everyone has a personal brand. From Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller to Tessanne Chin to your mail carrier to your grandmother, we all have one. 'Brand' is defined in many ways, but to me it is simply what you say when you can't say anything. In other words, it's your reputation. If you have a desire to say or sell something, not only is your personal brand incredibly important but so is your platform. Think of your brand and platform like a message and bullhorn, ...

Gloria by Kerry Young (Bloomsbury USA) Needless to say, with news in last week's edition of Bookends that Jamaican author Kerry Young's newest novel, Gloria, is in the running for the prestigious 2014 OCM Bocas Prize for Caribbean Literature, we around here are ecstatic. We absolutely loved Pao, Young's pitch-perfect, beguiling first novel published in 2011 about a Chinese man negotiating love and life in postcolonial Jamaica. Young read an excerpt at Calabash 2012, and was riotously funny in h ... Read More
