CNN —A British climber and a Nepali guide have broken their own records for most climbs of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, hiking officials said on Sunday. Rakesh Gurung, director of Nepal’s Department of Tourism, said Britain’s Kenton Cool, 50, and Nepali guide Kami Rita Sherpa, 54, climbed the 8,849-meter (29,032 foot) peak for the 18th and 29th time, respectively. Madison had teamed up with Kami Rita to climb the summits of Everest, Lhotse, and K2 in 2014. Kenton Cool is an institution,” Furtenbach, who is leading an expedition from the Chinese side of Everest, told Reuters. Kami Rita first climbed Everest in 1994 and has done so almost every year since, except for three years when authorities closed the mountain for various reasons.

Cham ended up writing one of the first checks to Weights & Biases after he was convinced Biewald fulfilled his lofty criteria for backing founders. "I am looking for people who are trying to make a dent in the universe," Cham said. Instead of asking founders how they plan to make that dent, Cham prefers to spend lots of time observing them to see what makes them tick. Cham began making his own dent in the world after majoring in computer science at Harvard and becoming a consultant at Accenture. "The reality that the money that we make goes towards Bloomberg Philanthropies is something founders oftentimes find appealing," Cham said.

CNN —Major League Baseball (MLB) plans to modify its uniforms ahead of the 2025 season following complaints from players and fans, according to ESPN. “A lot of the rhetoric is confirmation that the pants are see-through,” said Clark, according to ESPN back in February. “Universal concern,” Clark added, “is the pant.”The MLBPA declined to comment, and MLB deferred comment to the players association. The union did place blame on Nike and its debut of the new Nike Vapor Premier uniform this season. “We cautioned Nike against various changes when they previewed them in 2022, particularly regarding pants,” the memo added.

Subsidy investigations started by the European Union interfere with the mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Europe, and China resolutely opposes them, a Chinese commerce ministry official said. Subsidy investigations started by the European Union interfere with the mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Europe, and China resolutely opposes them, a Chinese commerce ministry official said. The official, who was not identified in a statement released by the department on Thursday, believes the probes launched by the European Union so far are all aimed at Chinese new energy-related enterprises, which will seriously damage the confidence of its firms in carrying out investment and trade cooperation in the EU. The remarks came from the head of the Trade Remedies Bureau of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce in a meeting with Martin Lukas, director general of the trade defense department of the European Commission, in Brussels, according to the statement.

CNN —When Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. addressed the Australian Parliament last week there was no mistaking the fighting talk. The Philippines accused China's coast guard of setting up the barrier at the mouth of the disputed fishing ground. That meeting will also be attended by several other nations with territorial disagreements with China – including Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia. Collin Koh, research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, said Australia was unlikely to back any tough language at the summit pertaining to the South China Sea or any other hot-button issue. As Bisley put it, “We don’t like what China does, but we’re not going to put ourselves in harm’s way.”

The "loud budgeting" trend taking over social media encourages people to be more vocal about saving and spending habits. Loud budgeting is the opposite of "quiet luxury," Battle said, the financial trend that previously favored high-end clothing and understated displays of wealth. AdvertisementThe loud budgeting trend comes as Gen Zers enter the workforce when the cost of living has become more expensive. Loud budgeting is about everyday people, Battle said, and saving money can be "stylish." AdvertisementFifty-six percent of Gen Zers surveyed said potentially missing out on events with friends and family can be a downside of loud budgeting.

New York CNN —Major League Baseball players will be wearing new jerseys this season. Some players have complained that there are fewer tailored options available for pants, and the players’ union has reportedly raised criticism of the jerseys to Nike and MLB. (The Major League Baseball Players’ Association did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.) Teams retire their most important players’ jersey numbers. “This is joining that narrative.”Some NHL fans, like baseball fans, are worried about Fanatics’ deal with the NHL to produce authentic jerseys players wear in games because of concerns about quality, limited selection and prices.

TikTok's latest financial trend, "loud budgeting," can be as simple as saying "Hey, I don't want to spend money right now," Lukas Battle explained on CNBC's "Power Lunch." Battle, a comedian and writer who first coined the term loud budgeting, said his idea has been largely met with relief, which is why it has proved popular. Alternatively, "loud budgeting'" is centered around the everyday person, or the "average Joe," according to Battle's viral TikTok video. "It's not 'I don't have enough,' it's 'I don't want to spend,'" Battle added. In that way, loud budgeting is "it's almost more chic, more stylish, more of a flex."

Breaking down the TikTok trend of 'Loud Budgeting'

“Loud budgeting is a new concept I am announcing for 2024, it’s the opposite of quiet luxury,” he said in the TikTok post, posted on December 29. In this screen grab taken from a viral video by Lukas Battle, the comedian talks about the 'loud budgeting,' trend, versus 'quiet luxury.' In an online world where luxury and opulence are constantly on display — and unattainable for most people — “loud budgeting” makes being on a budget cool and acceptable. It’s the inverse of “quiet luxury,” which flourished on social media last year and promoted not flaunting your wealth or being understated about it. But loud budgeting could be a reckoning for brands who have found success in social media marketing.

But he sees the very real financial consequences that influencers and TikTok trends like quiet luxury have, especially on younger consumers. "There was this idea of keeping up with the Joneses," said Daigle, a member of the CNBC Financial Advisor Council. Nearly two-thirds, 62%, of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, according to LendingClub. For loud budgeting to be effective rather than gimmicky, Daigle suggests that people focus on their financial priorities and practice moderation with their spending changes. To help stay on track, she recommends using a budgeting tool like YNAB, also known as You Need a Budget.

But in 2024, there's a new idea taking hold that overtly rejects the urge to overspend and promotes speaking up about saving money — welcome to the era of "loud budgeting." What is loud budgeting?

It's called "loud budgeting." He wasn't explicit about his definition of "loud budgeting," but suggested it involved being vocal with your friends about choosing to live frugally. Battle said on TikTok that loud budgeting was the opposite of "quiet luxury," which blew up in 2023 after also being popular during the Great Recession. AdvertisementBattle said in one of his TikToks that he thought "loud budgeting" was "more chic" and impressive than "quiet luxury," later adding that while quiet luxury is about "idolizing celebrities," who are often associated with the trend, "loud budgeting is about the everyday person." Now, it seems "loud budgeting" may go a step further, redefining success and coolness to mean saving your money, rather than spending it.

Scholz was the first foreign leader to visit Lula in Brazil, just weeks after his inauguration. The German Chancellor has been on a quest since taking office in late 2021 to improve ties with the Global South. Scholz will be hoping to avoid a scenario like in January when his visit to Brazil was overshadowed by differences over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Lula last month said Israel was "committing terrorism" against Palestinians "by not taking into account that children are not at war, that women are not at war".
