The World Trade Organization (WTO) has recently released a report indicating that global merchandise trade is experiencing moderate growth in the fourth quarter. This comes as a positive sign amidst the uncertainties and challenges faced by the global economy in recent times.
As 2024 comes to a close, you might be starting to put a list together of resolutions for the new year. Many people make resolutions to lose weight, save more money, or advance in their careers. If you’re the Edmonton Oilers , there are a few resolutions that can help the team reach the ultimate goal in 2025 of winning the Stanley Cup. Here’s a list of five New Year’s resolutions for the Oilers to reach their goals in 2025: Resolution 1 – Commit to Team Defence Under head coach Kris Knoblauch , the Edmonton Oilers have developed into a stingy team. Going into their Dec. 28 game against the Los Angeles Kings , the Oilers have a goals for/goals against differential of plus-16. This is about middle of the pack in the NHL but it continues to rise as the Oilers continue to play well in their own zone. After such a disappointing start to the 2024-25 NHL season, the Oilers have scratched and clawed their way back into contention mainly through a commitment to team defence. It’s what got them to the Stanley Cup Final in 2024 and it’s the path they need to take in order to get back there in 2025. The Oilers have had some good head coaches over the past six seasons including Todd McLellan, Ken Hitchcock, Dave Tippett and Jay Woodcroft, but it seems as though Knoblauch and assistant coach Paul Coffey have been the ones to unlock the team’s defensive potential. If the team can keep playing as well defensively as they have in the month of December, they’ll definitely continue to rise in the standings in 2025. Resolution 2 – Stay Disciplined Some of the most common New Year’s resolutions for most of us are to eat healthy, exercise and stop unhealthy habits such as smoking. The Oilers are already doing all of these things, and it’s not like Leon Draisaitl is going to turn into Guy Lafleur and go smoke a couple of lung darts between periods like the great Montreal Canadiens forward was known to do. This is more about staying healthy in mind, body and spirit. The Oilers hired performance whisperer George Mumford as their mental performance coach, and he’s as important as any of the other coaches on the Oilers’ staff. When you’re a professional hockey player at the peak of your physical powers, what truly separates the champions from the pack is their mental game. The Oilers are starting to lock it in, and if they can stay focused and disciplined in the face of all obstacles, they’ll get to their promised land. It’s really easier said than done but the Oilers have the experience and the talent to get there. They just need to stay focused. Thanks to Mumford , they’re well on their way. Resolution 3 – Continue to Develop Youth The Oilers had grown older in the offseason losing Ryan Mcleod, Dylan Holloway, Vincent Desharnais and Philip Broberg. They did pick up Matthew Savoie from the Buffalo Sabres in the trade for McLeod, and general manager (GM) Stan Bowman traded for Ty Emberson and Vasily Podkolzin but there’s a lot of ground to be made up in terms of restocking the prospect cupboards. Under former GM Ken Holland, the Oilers traded high draft picks and let go of good prospects such as Micheal Kesselring in order to try and “win now.” In 2025, Bowman, Oilers CEO of hockey operations Jeff Jackson and the scouting staff will need to walk the fine line of restocking the pipeline while still acquiring high-end talent. The franchise can ill afford to lose as many prospects as they have in the last two seasons and they need to not only develop youth, but also eventually find room for players such as Noah Philp and Olivier Rodrigue. This will only make them better. Resolution 4 – Trade for a Defenceman The March 7 NHL Trade Deadline is just over three months away and while some people want the Oilers to think about bringing in a goaltender, most believe they will try and trade for a defenceman . Considering how well their defensive core is playing at the moment with Darnell Nurse and Brett Kulak playing some of the best hockey of their careers, it’s hard to predict what they might do. Right now the defensive core of Mattias Ekholm, Evan Bouchard, Nurse, Kulak, Emberson and Troy Stecher is playing solid. But there’s a lot of runway left before the trade deadline, and it’s likely they will bolster the defensive core before tweaking any other area of the team. Who the Oilers target is anybody’s guess at the moment. It all might come down to how much long-term injured reserve (LTIR) space they have accumulated throughout the season. Resolution 5 – Believe The Oilers came within two goals of sipping from the Stanley Cup in 2024. Has that made them more hungry to win this season? Do they believe they can do it? This is a big year for players such as Connor McDavid and Draisaitl. They’re close to the peak of their physical powers but a lot has to go right in order for them to hoist the Stanley Cup this spring. They need a bit of luck, good goaltending, and good health, and need their belief to be stronger than teams such as the Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Vegas Golden Knights, Minnesota Wild, Winnipeg Jets and Colorado Avalanche. The Oilers’ biggest opponent might be themselves. It’s time to start believing they’re the second coming of the Oilers of the 80s rather than the Buffalo Bills of the early 90s. Happy New Year Whether you make long lists of New Year’s resolutions or just have one, I’d like to wish you all a healthy, happy and successful 2025. If you’re an Oilers fan, I’d like to wish you a very happy 2025 and hope that this spring brings you and yours a sixth Stanley Cup championship to Oil Country.

It is imperative for the club to rectify this situation and reaffirm its commitment to its employees and values. As Rio Ferdinand aptly puts it, the club must prioritize people over profits and make decisions that align with the principles of fairness, integrity, and respect. Only by doing so can Manchester United truly uphold its legacy and reputation as one of the great institutions in football.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey will not need surgery on his injured right knee but he will miss the rest of the regular season. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that McCaffrey will be out at least six weeks after injuring his posterior cruciate ligament in a loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night . McCaffrey will be placed on injured reserve for the second time this season after previously missing the first eight games with Achilles tendinitis. “I just feel for him,” Shanahan said. “It was a real frustrating year for him. He worked his ass off to get back to this point and I think he was really feeling good and about to take off and just had that real unfortunate injury last night. I know he’s as crushed as anyone, but he’ll get through this. He’s a hell of a player, a hell of a person and an unbelievable 49er. He’ll be back stronger than ever next year to help us.” San Francisco (5-7) sits alone in last place in the NFC West standings, two wins behind division-leading Seattle, and in jeopardy of missing the playoffs a year after losing to Kansas City in the Super Bowl. The 49ers also lost McCaffrey's backup to an injury with Jordan Mason also set to go on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain in the game against the Bills. It has been a frustrating season for McCaffrey, who won the 2023 AP Offensive Player of the Year then signed a lucrative contract extension in the offseason. McCaffrey injured his Achilles tendon early in training camp and missed the first eight games of the season. He rushed for just 149 yards on 43 carries in his first three games back as he struggled to get back to form. He looked much better early Sunday night with seven carries for 53 yards, including a 19-yarder that was his longest of the season. He appeared to hurt his knee on an 18-yard run in the second quarter. He then went down immediately on his next carry on a sweep to the left on a snow-slicked field for a 5-yard loss. Mason had played well as McCaffrey's replacement, rushing for 789 yards and averaging 5.2 yards per carry this season. San Francisco will now turn to rookie Isaac Guerendo and promote Patrick Taylor from the practice squad. Shanahan said the team will also look to add another running back to the mix. In other injury news from the game, defensive lineman Kevin Givens tore his pectoral muscle and will be out for the rest of the season. Shanahan said cornerback Deommodore Lenoir should be back at practice Wednesday after missing the game with a knee injury and that stars Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) and Trent Williams (ankle) will be evaluated as the week goes on. Bosa and Williams have both missed the last two games. Williams has also been dealing with family tragedy as his wife announced on Instagram that she gave birth to stillborn Trenton O’Brien Williams Jr. on Nov. 24. Sondra Williams also wrote that she was initially pregnant with twins and lost the other child earlier in the pregnancy. Shanahan said Williams spent time with his family last week but is trying to get back to play. “He was there at the hospital with her and got to meet him and say bye,” Shanahan said. “Then he had to cremate him on Friday. So he’s been dealing with that and he’s working through it. We’re all just trying to be there for him through it all.” NOTES: OL Aaron Banks and DT Jordan Elliott remain in the concussion protocol. ... LB Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) is day to day. ... LB Dre Greenlaw will get more work this week after his practice window was opened last week for the first time since he tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl. ... S Talanoa Hufanga (wrist) will have his IR practice window opened this week.ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — PGA Tour rookie Patrick Fishburn played bogey-free for an 8-under 64 for his first lead after any round. Joel Dahmen was 10 shots behind and had a bigger cause for celebration Friday in the RSM Classic. Dahmen made a 5-foot par putt on his final hole for a 2-under 68 in tough conditions brought on by the wind and cold, allowing him to make the cut on the number and get two more days to secure his PGA Tour card for next year. He is No. 124 in the FedEx Cup. “I still got more to write this weekend for sure,” said Dahmen, who recently had said his story is not yet over. “But without having the opportunity to play this weekend, my story would be a lot shorter this year.” Fishburn took advantage of being on the easier Plantation course, with trees blocking the brunt of the wind and two additional par 5s. He also was helped by Maverick McNealy, who opened with a 62 on the tougher Seaside course, making two bogeys late in his round and having to settle for a 70. Fishburn, who already has locked up his card for next year, was at 11-under 131 and led McNealy and Lee Hodges (63) going into the weekend. Michael Thorbjornsen had a 69 and was the only player who had to face Seaside on Friday who was among the top five. What mattered on this day, however, was far down the leaderboard. The RSM Classic is the final tournament of the PGA Tour season, and only the top 125 in the FedEx Cup have full status in 2025. That's more critical than ever with the tour only taking the top 100 for full cards after next season. Players like Dahmen will need full status to get as many playing opportunities as they can. That explains why he felt so much pressure on a Friday. He didn't make a bogey after his opening hole and was battling temperatures in the low 50s that felt even colder with the wind ripping off the Atlantic waters of St. Simons Sound. He made a key birdie on the 14th, hitting a 4-iron for his second shot on the 424-yard hole. Dahmen also hit wedge to 2 feet on the 16th that put him on the cut line, and from the 18th fairway, he was safely on the green some 40 feet away. But he lagged woefully short, leaving himself a testy 5-footer with his job on the line. “It was a great putt. I was very nervous,” Dahmen said. “But there's still work to do. It wasn't the game-winner, it was like the half-court shot to get us to halftime. But without that, and the way I played today, I wouldn't have anything this weekend.” His playing partners weren't so fortunate. The tour put three in danger of losing their cards in the same group — Zac Blair (No. 123), Dahmen and Wesley Bryan (No. 125). The cut was at 1-under 141. Blair and Bryan came to the 18th hole needing birdie to be assured of making the cut and both narrowly missed. Now they have to wait to see if anyone passes them, which is typically the case. Thorbjornsen in a tie for fourth and Daniel Berger (66 at Plantation) in a tie for 17th both were projected to move into the top 125. Dahmen, indeed, still has work to do. Fishburn gets a weekend to see if he can end his rookie year with a win. “I've had a lot of experience playing in cold growing up in Utah, playing this time of year, kind of get used to playing when the body’s not moving very well and you’ve got to move your hands,” said Fishburn, who played college golf at BYU. “Just pretty happy with how I played.” Ludvig Aberg, the defending champion and No. 5 player in the world competing for the first time in more than two months because of knee surgery, bounced back with a 64 on Plantation and was back in the mix. Aberg played with Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore who looks like he belongs each week. Clanton, the No. 1 player in the world amateur ranking who received a sponsor exemption, had a 65 at Plantation and was two shots off the lead. Clanton already has a runner-up and two other top 10s since June. “Playing with him, it's pretty awesome to watch,” Clanton said. “We were kind of fanboying a little it. I know he's a really good dude but to be playing with him and to see what he's done over the last couple years, it's pretty inspirational.” AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf
