▼ + stars: | 2023-11-20 | by ( Jill Cowan | Mette Lampcov | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Furnace Creek and Stovepipe Wells are among the roadside outposts inside Death Valley National Park, while Dante’s View draws tourists at sunset and Hell’s Gate greets visitors arriving from the east. In the summer, it is so hot here, along California’s southeastern spine, that some of the roughly 800 residents — nearly all of them park employees — bake brownies in their cars. But none of that is what prompted Lata Kini, 59, and her husband, Ramanand, 61, to pack their bags and drive about seven hours to get here on a whim this month. They were drawn instead by the mystique of another natural force. “I’m here because of the water,” Ms. Kini, said at Zabriskie Point, a popular vista, as she watched the rising sun paint the undulating stone peaks in shades of pink and deep purple.

Lagos, Nigeria CNN —Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, known on social media as Hilda Baci, has been confirmed as the new world record holder for the longest cooking marathon, the Guinness World Record (GWR) committee said Tuesday. The record was confirmed nearly a month after the GWR reviewed footage from the cookathon, which lasted four days. I said I wanted to be a record holder and now I am. Although Bassey cooked for 100 hours, she was penalized for an error in her scheduled rest breaks, according to the world record committee. “There was a miscalculation when it came to Hilda’s rest breaks, meaning we are unable to award the 100 hours claimed,” the adjudicator said.

Reprezentanții Primăriei Chișinău au desfășurat o rundă de consultări cu membrii din Grupul de lucru pentru transport alternativ care a prezentat varianta nouă a pistei pentru biciclete pe strada 31 August 1989. Lucrările ar fi trebuit să fie licitate în toamna anului trecut, însă proiectul și propunerile inițiale au fost respinse de comunitatea bicicliștilor din cauza lățimii prea mici a benzilor pentru biciclete. „Pista pentru biciclete va fi suficient de lată pentru circulația în două sensuri și depășirea sigură. Crearea acestei piste, combinată cu amenajarea trotuarelor va spori capacitatea de tranzit a străzii și va contribui și la calmarea traficului pe stradă. De asemenea proiectul prevede amenajarea locurilor de parcare și modernizarea trotuarelor și a iluminatului stradal”, a comentat viceprimarul Victor Chironda.
