The Woman In Cabin 10 Cast: Here's Where You've Seen The Stars Before

Keira Knightley in The Woman In Cabin 10 As we all head inside in the winter months, there’s nothing quite like a new thriller to keep us entertained, and Netflix ’s new offering sees Keira Knightley take the lead in The Woman In Cabin 10. The new movie follows on last year’s spy action thriller Black Doves , in which the British actor starred alongside Ben Whishaw and Sarah Lancashire , scooping a Golden Globe nomination and heaps of praise in the process. Based on the best-selling 2017 novel by Ruth Ware, The Woman In Cabin 10 takes place aboard a lavish yacht with Keira playing journalist Laura “Lo” Blacklock who has been placed on a travel assignment. A cushty job quickly turns into a gaslighting nightmare, though, when she witnesses someone being flung overboard. However, with all the passengers accounted for and nobody believing her, Lo has to uncover the truth herself. Keira isn’t the only star booking in the cast, though, with plenty of other recognisable faces appearing in the film. Here’s where you might have seen them before… Keira Knightley Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride And Prejudice An actor with plenty of hits under her belt, Keira first made her breakthrough in the 2002 film Bend It Like Beckham where she starred opposite Parminder Nagra as Jules, a talented young footballer. Then came Love Actually , where she was instrumental in one of the key “creepy or romantic?” storylines playing Juliet, a newlywed whose husband’s best friend was secretly in love with her. Later she became a blockbuster stalwart as Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series opposite Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, before playing a very different Elizabeth as she picked up the mantle as Pride And Prejudice ’s Elizabeth Bennett in 2005, earning her an Oscar nomination. Keira then went on to act in a collection of other period films like an adaptation of Atonement, The Duchess, The Imitation Game and, more recently, Colette and Boston Strangler. Chances are you’ll have seen her on your screen in the Netflix thriller series Black Doves, which dropped around Christmas last year.

Winter Can Dampen Your Sex Life. Here's How To Heat It Back Up

Winter Can Dampen Your Sex Life. Here's How To Heat It Back Up

Couple in bedroom Feel more tired than usual? That might be the autumn/winter season wreaking havoc on your gut, Dr Megan Rossi previously told HuffPost UK. Not only do we reach for comfort food during “nesting” season, but we also tend to become less active, she said. And according to Dr Babak Ashrafi, a GP at Superdrug Online Doctor, your bedroom might see less action too. Everything from SAD to the cold itself can decrease your mojo, he advised. Here’s why, and how to manage the slump. Decreased libido and worse performance can lead to a change One in 20 people in the UK has SAD , or seasonal affective disorder. This mood change can have an effect on your libido, Dr Ashrafi said. “The lack of energy and motivation associated with SAD can make it harder for individuals to achieve and maintain sexual arousal, decreasing libido, body image and putting strain on sexual relationships,” he stated. “This can lead to difficulties in achieving and enjoying intimacy for both men and women.” And for the 69% of people who have experienced erectile dysfunction (either their own or a partner’s), cool weather might make a more marked difference. “Cold weather can lead to the narrowing of blood vessels as a means of conserving body heat, which can make it challenging to maintain an erection,” the GP advised. “Furthermore, the insufficient intake of vitamin D during the winter months can significantly disrupt the balance of testosterone, a crucial element for men’s erectile health.” Even your immune system, which can take a hit once the chill sets in, can affect your bedroom antics. “From cold, dry air irritating respiratory passages to reduced vitamin D exposure increasing the chance of infections, our physical well-being is at its most vulnerable,” the GP said. “Not only will this directly impact our libido through increasing fatigue and weakness, but a compromised immune system c ould potentially make you more susceptible to infections , including sexually transmitted infections (STIs).” How can I heat my sex life back up in winter? It depends on the cause. Dr Ashrafi said that those with SAD may benefit from outdoor exposure to sunlight, even if it’s just a 10-minute walk. “Vitamin D plays a crucial role in regulating the production of various hormones, including sex hormones like testosterone,” he added. Ensure you’re getting enough of this, and seek therapy if SAD is affecting your day-to-day. Supporting your immune system might make a surprising difference, too. For those affected by erectile dysfunction. Kendra Capalbo, a licensed couples therapist, said that shifting your mindset and expectations can go a long way. “Often, sex becomes too focused on achieving penetrative intercourse and orgasms. Couples can benefit from cherishing the connection and intimacy they experience by simply being physically and emotionally close to one another,” she said. “Activities such as kissing, touching, holding each other, engaging in skin-to-skin contact, making eye contact, and synchronising breathing can be incredibly pleasurable and intimate.” Related...

My Historic Home Is Beautiful. It Was Also Slowly Killing My Triplets.

My Historic Home Is Beautiful. It Was Also Slowly Killing My Triplets.

The author with 12-month-olds Conall (left), Miko (middle) and Arden (right) at their birthday party. When I first saw our home, I was absolutely blown away. The 4,500 square-foot 1906 Detroit house boasted giant historic windows, two staircases and so many doors that little kids could run circles through every floor of the house. There were nooks and crannies, tons of closets to hide in and a spacious yard. It was perfect for kids. Little did I know this house would invisibly and unflaggingly poison my future children, changing my family’s lives forever. When my wife, Jess, and I decided we wanted to conceive at the same time for pseudo twins, we knew we would be signing up for a hard (albeit beautiful) first several years if we were successful. When we decided to co-parent with our future babies’ biological dad, we knew we would be living a family life very outside the norm. And when I conceived twins, giving us pseudo triplets due 10 days apart, we knew the infancy stage was going to be rough. But we had no concept of the nightmare coming our way. The twins, Arden and Conall, had colic, so sleepless nights and bleary days incessantly ran together. Miko (our singleton) watched as Jess and I paced the house, sang lullabies and nursed the twins incessantly. Finally, after six months of yoga ball bouncing and noise-cancelling headphones and crying right along with my babies, they started sleeping for two, then three, then four hours at a time. The light at the end of the tunnel looked more like hope and less like an oncoming train. But then the train hit. Suddenly, at eight months, sleep worsened again. The triplets had a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. They needed help resettling every time. Their best night was 21 wakes, and their worst night was 55. 55. I became so sleep-deprived that I hallucinated cobwebs and shadow spiders while awake, and my therapist had to talk me through when the voices in my head were (mostly) benign, and when I should be worried. And the triplets all became insanely irritable. They cried so much that our gentle part-time nanny – a professional day care worker who only took care of one baby at a time, while one of us parents managed the other two – cut her hours because she couldn’t endure the constant screaming. Something was wrong. I was dissociating, using headphones to block out the screaming so I could still comfort my poor babies without losing my mind. G uilting myself for not enjoying their fleeting infancy only compounded my stress – a vicious cycle I couldn’t escape. We went to specialist after specialist. I researched every paediatric concern that could cause their symptoms: sleep difficulties, irritability, abdominal pain, delayed growth, anaemia. “Stop breastfeeding,” one doctor said. “Then they’ll sleep.” “It’s because you respond when they cry,” another doctor said. “Just let them cry themselves to sleep.” But I knew this wasn’t because I was doing gentle parenting. Something was wrong. And at their 12-month appointment, my intuition was confirmed. Concerned, our paediatrician told us the babies tested high for their capillary lead blood level test, and we needed to go ASAP to a hospital and get a venous draw to verify. In a few days, the results arrived. Arden, Conall and Miko had lead poisoning. To be honest, I didn’t know lead poisoning was still a thing. I knew old homes probably had lead paint, but I thought, as long as you made sure the paint wasn’t peeling and you didn’t let your child lick the walls, you’d be totally fine. Now that I’ve learned how pervasive and insidious lead still is, I’m stunned at how wrong I was – and stunned that the information I have now wasn’t readily available to me then, as a parent with kids in the prime risk group (under six and in a pre-1978 home). I didn’t know that 50% of American children and 78% of Michigan’s children have detectable levels of lead in their blood, and that there is no safe level of lead in the blood. I didn’t know that high-friction areas (like windows, doors and floor s) can’t be safely encapsulated – lead can still come through intact paint. Half of my house’s doors had lead paint, buried underneath a layer of safe paint, but it still exposed the kids to lead dust. Even if someone’s home is new, construction season can kick up leaded dust. My kids’ lead symptoms began before they began crawling, and their doctors think it’s because they were exposed to construction in my neighbourhood. The babies a few days after they were diagnosed with lead poisoning You may think that once I had an answer as to what was wrong with my kids, I could jump right into fixing the problem. Nope. It took months to schedule a professional lead test to ascertain all the lead hazards in our house. Then we found out the abatement would cost between $100,000 and $200,000 (a staggering sum that we frankly did not have). And f inding resources was a nightmare . I knew there were grants and loans available for families, but getting into one of the programs felt like hunting for a unicorn. I called and emailed every lead program I could find in my city, my state and the country. I called my state representatives, I called my federal representatives, I called my city council, I called my governor. I even hunted down the emails of my city and state health department leadership. I left voicemails with screaming babies in the background and wrote emails while jiggling two baby bouncy seats with my foot. And even with me bending over backward to advocate for my babies, it still took four months to access a grant. And then it took four months for the abatement to actually start. “How do other families do it?” I wondered, angry and disbelieving. Anyone working a 9-to-5 job would have found this sort of advocacy so hard. Anyone working two jobs would have found it impossible. Rich families who could afford the price tag to abate their home – sure, they could move forward. Minority families – queer like mine, or families of colour, with disabilities, who are living in poverty – are at greater risk due to systemic inequities and discrimination . And they are precisely the families who cannot usually afford this sort of abatement and need these grants and loans the most. Yet, they are the ones most likely to be working jobs that are more inconvenient, lower-paid, don’t include PTO or have other barr iers to badgering their representatives with phone calls every day. Jess and I both grew up poor, with MacGyver-style dads, and we put those creative skills to work. We ordered our own lead tests to identify the biggest hot spots. I interviewed nurses, read dozens of articles and found temporary abatement methods, like removing some doors, wrapping the others in wallpaper and duct tape to create a barrier that lead dust couldn’t migrate through, and painting our windows shut. I bought a HEPA vacuum and learned how to wet-clean everything. Everyone took off their shoes before coming inside; we washed the babies’ hands constantly; we didn’t let them play in the dirt. Once the lead abatement finally began, it took three more months to complete. But when we moved back into a lead-safe home, even though everything looked mostly the same, I felt like it was a brand new house. Only when the crushing weight of my home’s deadly neurotoxin lifted did I realise how horrific it had been to be forced to keep living in a home that was actively poisoning my babies. The anxiety of knowing that one skipped spot on the floor, one unwashed hand at the wrong time, one tiny peel of paint could skyrocket their lead levels was obscene. And it had deeply affected my relationship with my body, driving me into an emotional detachment to try to keep my shit together around my kids and not just break down wailing with them every day. I started crying in therapy again. I started processing the sickness of my babies, the difficulty of experiencing traumatic births and triplet infants, the desire to feel joy and be simply in the moment with them. And by acknowledging I hadn’t been feeling that joy, I began experiencing glimpses of it. The babies at age 2 with the author (right), her wife, and the babies' bio dad in a historic Detroit church. What now? Are we in the clear? Not really. I’m far crunchier of a mom than I ever wanted to be – I only buy my kids the processed foods that have tested safe for lead and only buy toys that are lead-safe. And behind the crunchiness is fury. I’m furious that the only warning parents get about the dangers of lead paint is one paper among many to sign when you buy an old house, demurely saying there might be lead here, we don’t know, just don’t lick the paint. I’m furious my doctors didn’t take my concerns seriously. If the kids had gotten lead-tested when we first started going to specialists, we could have saved months of exposure. I’m furious that I didn’t know lead poisoning was something that could happen in 2025, not just pre-1978. And my kids’ brains are affected for life. Lead poisoning at a young age permanently alters the neurons in the brain. In many ways, it mimics ADHD and autism so perfectly that kids with lead poisoning are often misdiagnosed. The scientific community isn’t sure how to categorise the relationship between lead and neurodivergence, but they are sure that the behaviours are often identical and the neural brain changes are very similar. The author holding 1-year-old Arden, with Miko in the foreground by the Detroit River. Now chaotic toddlers, my kids put my gentle parenting to the test every day. But they are also full of such joy, such life, such vivacity. They brim with the wonder that all children carry in their hearts. And now that their lead levels are going down and their bodies and minds start to heal, I see their true natures more clearly, more often. Yes, there’s still lots of irritability. Yes, they’re still waking up 10+ times a night. But I see the brightness in their eyes as they experience nature; I hear the delight in their laughs as they play peekaboo together. As their bodies detox, their happiness grows. And as their lead levels go down and their sleep improves, my sleep also improves. Before, as much as I read Instagram posts about the importance of calm co-regulation and desperately tried to be present with my kids, I still found myself frequently repressing my stress by lapsing into dissociation. Now, I’m getting to feel the joy they have, and not just see it from a dissociative distance. I’m finally feeling motherhood in my body again.
