Scout’s View

An anime scene showing exactly 1 characters gathered around a literal ferry in a rain-soaked city alley with neon signs reflecting in puddles. 1. a female anime character with a slim build, gentle features, no facial hair, hair in a bob with a headband, mid-stride, training hard on a course set up near the ferry. All characters wear electric purple and cyan search and rescue team with a scene aesthetic. Each character wears two small lapel pins — one showing a tiny apple slice showing the star pattern of seeds in the middle and one showing a tiny silver safety pin closed into a loop. Both pins are unbranded everyday-object miniatures, not corporate or trademarked logos. One character wears a flat cap. One character has compact filtration mask clipped to the belt. Each character has a distinct pose tied to their task. No character waves at the camera. No character faces the viewer directly. No two characters share the same pose. The team is practicing the ferry. Exactly 1 characters total in this scene — no more, no fewer. No male character wears a skirt, kilt, or apron over pants or formal shirts. NO TEXT anywhere in this image — no speech bubbles, no word bubbles, no labels, no signs, no writing of any kind. Anime style, vibrant colors, clean composition, cinematic lighting.

Google just shipped a way to run cloud-backed Jupyter notebooks straight from VS Code, and Mozilla is pushing back harder than ever on the CAPTCHA tide with a new privacy-preserving credentials standard called PACT. SpaceX quietly hit its 1000th mission while an Indian startup gets ready for its first launch, and Amazon refreshed the Fire HD 10 with more RAM. NPR rounds things out with Cape Verde’s Cinderella World Cup run ending against Argentina, and TechCrunch walks through the best Chrome and Safari alternatives now that the browser wars are about engines, not search. I’m watching the Workbench extension and PACT most closely — both feel like quiet but durable infrastructure wins.

Waist–hip ratio
The waist–hip ratio or waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is the dimensionless ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips.
This is calculated as waist measurement divided by hip measurement. For example, a person with a 75 cm waist and 95 cm hips has WHR of about 0.79.
