Some of the researchers attributed the difference to the amount of physical exercise, time spent outdoors, stress, interaction with neighbors and the neighborhood etc. but contemporary research in other universities suggests the difference could be in the materials used (concrete and steel vs. wood in lower buildings).
In a 1994 study on 1,605 pregnant women in three wards of Yokohama City (Japan), it was found that the miscarriage rate (on average 7.7%) shot up to 24.2% for those living above 5 floors, and of those, to 38.9% for 10 floors and above. There was also a strong correlation between floor height and length of residence (longer residence, more miscarriages). πŸ“„.pdf https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c08788780128b65bb41a01f4eb184280fa51c3cc6b81d773cbc3616e4d3b8c98.file
β€œThere was hugely more sense in the old people who said that a wife and husband ought to have the same religion than there is in all the contemporary gushing about sister souls and kindred spirits and auras of identical colour. As a matter of fact, the more the sexes are in violent contrast the less likely they are to be in violent collision. The more incompatible their tempers are the better. Obviously a wife's soul cannot possibly be a sister soul. It is very seldom so much as a first cousin. There are very few marriages of identical taste and temperament; they are generally unhappy. But to have the same fundamental theory; to think the same thing a virtue, whether you practise or neglect it; to think the same thing a sin, whether you punish or pardon or laugh at it; in the last extremity to call the same thing duty and the same thing disgrace - this really is necessary to a tolerably happy marriage; and it is much better represented by a common religion than it is by affinities and auras. And what applies to the family applies to the nation. A nation with a root religion will be tolerant. A nation with no religion will be bigoted.” β€” G.K. Chesterton, The Sectarian of Society, May 11th, 1912 https://hell.twtr.plus/media/24b359971e9e4c71b89363d82285d481de0cbf79b515beb762ba393e72d34b41.file
It is so satisfying to watch how a jig for lathes work. Now I feel like watching a video on how the jig itself is made. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f0278fc1ae06a24db727f86d0b5f190642dbd1cb377f978f4738d2b7f3ab46d0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2fcdbfa3a87fb72f8060c280fb0ab9ae683b9287c055cab01ce5558cd544cb6f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/381467954bea43351e86e848ff148a38bd921bd11dce3c9e5e091c7e3f65ace2.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/74de6c887e2ed09ae609de6bb40f9cc635d78fa9093b9b59259c0cb805ca612b.file
