North-South divide in Taiwan is made out of Taiwanese government's long-term over-investment in northern Taiwan that led to imbalance in economic development, political authority, medical access, educational supply, savings, and other kind of inequalities between northern and southern Taiwan.
Because of this imbalances, southern Taiwanese often feel they're not fairly treated by the government.
In Taiwan, best schools and educational institutions supported by Taiwanese government are based in northern Taiwan.
If you're southern Taiwanese wanting to study deeper, you will need to go to northern Taiwan.
If you're an engineer or manager in a company, you will often need to go to northern Taiwan to update your knowledge.
At the same time, many companies, who were able to earn more and thus pay more to their employees, started to grow in Taiwan.
These companies made higher-value-added products and offered jobs needing college education not the kind of work that needs physical skills or strength in the past.
Because Taiwan's higher educational institutions were near Taipei City, Taiwan, these new companies liked to go to northern Taiwan to run businesses.
Before 1980, Taiwan's main industries were farming, fishing, light industries and heavy industries.
Taiwan was under Japanese rule from 1895 till 1945.
Thanks to Japanese's policy that equally distributed resources for economic development, southern Taiwanese could find a job near their home in that time and even in the early time of the governance by KMT who succeeded Japanese to rule Taiwan since 1945.
Birth, price, and population
More and more Taiwanese move to northern Taiwan.
However, northern Taiwan just has a little plain in the need of buildings.
As a result, the price tags for people from southern Taiwan to buy a house in northern Taiwan to live become very expensive.
Because of the expensive housing price, people in northern Taiwan have no choice but cut their desire to have babies.
At the same time, southern Taiwanese don't have enough money to own a baby.
So southern Taiwanese cut their desire to have babies, too.
These lead to very low birth rate in Taiwan.
After many southern Taiwanese moved to northern Taiwan, because they didn't own a house in northern Taiwan and were new to the environment, these movers' pockets generally not deep enough to pay a new house to start a family.
Taiwan is one of the countries with the lowest brith rates in the world.
In southern Taiwan, the Skipped Generation Families/Grand-parenting Families are very often seen.
In that, because many young children's parents have left to northern Taiwan to work.
In the end, grand-parents become these young children's real parents.

Biochar is a type of charcoal added to soil that acts as plant food, or fertilizer.
Biochar is made by heating biomass like wood in an oven to very high temperatures.
This removes all of the water and easy to burn material from the biomass leaving only carbon.
The final result is fragile and dark black charcoal.
Biochar is made from organic material known as biomass.
Biomass is mostly made from carbon.
Carbon in biomass is captured from carbon dioxide in the air by plants.
This means that when biochar is made carbon that was once in the air is made into a solid material.
Biochar can last a very long time in soil and even longer in containers.
Some people propose making biochar to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
If a lot of biochar were made then there would be less carbon dioxide in the air, meaning less heat would be trapped.
This is known as a carbon sink, because the carbon is sunk or put into a long lasting material instead of floating in the air.
Soil amendment
When biochar is made the biomass it is made from has most of its material removed.
This means that biochar is very light and filled with tiny holes.
These holes can hold water and nutrients which act as food for plants growing in biochar.
Biochar can be soaked in nutrients to "charge" it which makes it a very good soil additive or fertilizer.
The holes in biochar can also trap toxins which make water unsafe.
Biochar was used by people in the Amazon to make their poor quality soil better for growing food.
This made the soil very dark and the dark soil can still be seen today.
Slash-and-char
In some rainforest places the forests are cleared for farming.
When the forests are cleared they are usually cut down and burned.
This process is called slash-and-burn and doesn't leave very many nutrients in the soil.
If the forests were cleared and turned into biochar rather than burned the soil would have more nutrients.
This is known as slash-and-char and would make the soil better for farming.
Animal food
Biochar can be mixed with molasses for use as animal food.
The biochar helps digestion and reduces the amount of methane produced by cows.
Feces from animals that eat biochar is a high quality fertilizer.
Biochar is mainly sold by fertilizer companies to people who grow plants.
This may change.
There are many tons of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is causing climate change.
Many countries have agreed that this is a problem.
In the future it may cost money to release carbon dioxide.
If people who remove carbon dioxide are paid then there could be businesses which remove carbon dioxide for money.
One way a business like that could remove carbon dioxide is by growing plants and turning them into biochar.
This removes a large amount of carbon dioxide and could be very profitable in the future.
A Perfect Couple is a 1979 romantic–comedy movie co-written and directed by Robert Altman and starring Paul Dooley, Marta Heflin, Titos Vandis, Belita Moreno, Dennis Franz and Joel Crothers.
Bab Mansur al-'Alj or Bab Mansour (also variously spelled as Bab Mansour al-'Ilj, Bab Mansour al-Eulj, Bab el-Mansour, Bab Mansur, etc)  (also known as Bab Mansour Laleuj) is the main gate of the Old Town of Meknes in Morocco.
It is one of the largest and most impressive gates in the country.
Together with the "outer square (El Hedim Square)", it is considered the country's business card.
The gate is located in front of El Hedim Square which is considered to be the most popular square in Morocco.
The gate structure was completed in 1732 by Mulay Abdullah who was the son of Sultan Mulay Ismail.
The gate marks the main entrance of the imperial palace built for Isla Mulay and the ancient city of Meknes.
The door was designed by a Christian who converted to Islam whose name was "Mansur".
Hence the gate's name: "Mansur Gate".
The gate structure has been part of the Meknes protected heritage since 1914 and since 1996 has been used as a World Heritage Site along with the Old Town of Meknes.
The gate structure separates the outer square called Al-Hadim Square.
It is adjacent to the Old City wall of Meknes, from the inner square called Lela Awda Square.
It served as the "Royal Order Ground".
Next to the gate within the walls are the Royal Order Stables, the Royal Prison, and the Meknes City Museum.
It is decorated with green ceramics designed with  Islamic motifs.
The white pillars are columns that used to stand in the Roman city: "Volibilis", which is about 30 km north of the city.
It was designed by Giuseppe Merosi.
They made around 2,600 of these cars in total.
Family car
The RL Normale (RLN) was a family car, also called 21/70.
The engine had 6 cylinders and measured 3 liters volume.
In 1926 it changed name to RL Touring (RLT) and 22/70.
The RL Sport (RLS) was a light car that was a foot shorter, so it saved weight.
It also had a bigger engine.
They made around 500 of these.
It changed name to RL Super Sport (RLSS) and 22/90, and was even faster.
Racing car
This was even shorter than the RL Short and won the Targa Florio race on Sicilia in 1923.
They called it RL Targa Florio (RLTF) and less than 10 were made.
