Leslie Ballantyne woke up early in the morning to an emergency alert flashing on her cell phone. “Potential missile threat. Evacuate immediately to the nearest secure building.” Her partner Alistair appears to have fallen asleep. Ballantine got out of bed and looked out the cabin window. Outside there is only darkness and the illuminated light of Dubai Port. It was Sunday. Three days later, Ballantine was still on board the MSC Eulivia, a 331-meter-long, 19-deck cruise ship docked in Dubai.

U.S. natural gas exporters are poised to benefit from significant disruptions to global supplies due to the escalation of war in the Middle East.

The points were withheld due to Forest’s poor finishing. However, was it simply a poor finish, or was it poor selection in front of the goal? Needless to say, the 66 goal attempts in the last…

montreal — By the time DJ Brinassa drops a pulsating house beat, Friday’s scantily clad crowd at Montreal’s newest outing is already glistening with sweat.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery was “dreaming” of the Premier League title just a few weeks ago, but now faces a “cup final”-like match against Chelsea on Wednesday.Just five games ago, Villa were on top of their game, level on points with second-placed Man City and leaders Arsenal, four places behind.
