Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact, reports Andy Clarke, president of the league of American Bicyclists:

“When all these factors are added together the net social gain is DKK 1.22 per cycled kilometer. For purposes of comparison there is a net social loss of DKK 0.69 per kilometer driven by car.” 1.22 Danish crowns is about 25 cents and a kilometer is 6/10 of a mile, so we are talking about a net economic gain to society of 42 cents for every bicycle mile traveled. That’s a good number to have in your back pocket.

And what are all the “social gains” that bicycling grants the city of Copenhagen?

A number of factors are included in the equation such as transport costs, security, comfort, branding/tourism, transport times and health.

Considering that both sitting and car exhaust kill you, it’s a safe bet a lot of the net benefit to society is simply that cycling makes you less of a drag on health insurance and the safety net.

Since the total health benefit of Copenhagen residents’ healthy cycling habits is DKK 5.51 per km, the annual benefit is worth the equivalent of approx. DKK 2.0 billion.

So um I forgot like 5 days so I speed-drew them all today :3

Bottom left corner - 1. Alternate universe

I absolutely LOVE @detective-inspector-her 's Valkyrie Vampire AU, so I decided to draw it ! Full credits go to them for the idea :D

Didn't do 2 because I cant draw gore correctly 💔

Top left corner - 3. Teeth

That one scene where Val gets her tooth busted by sanguine

4. Undead

Scapegrace as a head , I never actually drew him in the jar so have that ! 😛

Oh shit I forgot to add 5

Day 5. Monster :>

I drew the gist

Andd 6. Echo

Gordon's echo stone after darquesse possessed him or smt?? I forgot but yeah (^.^)

Also, the reason why the gist says "magic" above is is because im doing another __tober this year (*´･∀･)

Also if you're in a poly with him and Gist. You are going NOWHERE cause they're both sticky to the EXTREME.

Awww??!! 💕

Shay would be such a sweetheart for Valentines Day

Probably arrange some small get-together for you two

If he gets you a gift, it’s a Claddagh ring that is catered to whatever design or detail you want. May even kiss your hand as he puts it on you

Utterly, entirely affectionate with you the entire day. Never wants to leave your side, and always has kisses to spare

Even Haytham is side-eyeing Shay’s efforts as he sees him scrambling back and forth to surprise you

Polycrystalline formamidinium lead iodide (FAPbI3), widely used for making perovskite-based solar cells due to its superior optoelectronic properties, suffers from defects in its crystalline structure. Researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) introduced hexagonal polytype perovskite (6H) into the cubic polytype (3C) FAPbI3 to reduce these defects, which led to improved power conversion efficiency and operational stability of perovskite solar cells, when compared with their existing counterparts. Solar energy is a promising way of reducing our dependence on fossil-fuel-based energy resources and opt for cleaner energy forms. Over the years, solar cells that can harness this renewable energy have undergone significant progress. Metal-halide perovskite has gained significant attention as a promising light-absorbing material for solar cells due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties which enable them to efficiently generate energy from sunlight.
