The reality according the online -information:
a rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.There are seven colours in the spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Bliss Tweed Mill is a former mill for the manufacture of tweed. It is located on the edge of Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. It became a Grade II* listed building in 1980.[1]
The mill was built in 1872 for cloth manufacturer William Bliss, to make fine tweed cloth from locally produced wool. It was designed by the architect George Woodhouse of Bolton, who also designed mills in Lancashire, including Victoria Mill in Miles Platting; Woodhouse was also involved in the construction of Bolton Town Hall.
The main 5-storey spinning building is faced with local limestone and styled to resemble a country house, with square towers at each corner topped by stone urns. Unusually, a large chimney for the furnace to power the mill's steam machinery issues from a dome at the top of a circular tower built into one façade. The chimneystack is styled as a tall Tuscan column. Inside, the building is supported by cast iron columns that carry beams bearing brick vaults. An adjacent lower building was used for weaving the tweed cloth.
The millworkers went on strike for eight months from December 1913 to June 1914, over the right of workers to join a trades union, but the mill prospered in the First World War after receiving a large order for khaki cloth for the British Army.
The mill closed in 1980 and was converted into residential apartments in around 1988.
Bliss Tweed Mill
es un molino/factoria antiguo para la fabricación de textiles. Se encuentra en las afueras de Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, Reino Unido. Se convirtió en un edificio catalogado de Grado II en 1980.
El molino fue construido en 1872 para el fabricante de tejidos William Bliss, que fabricaba tejidos finos de tweed a partir de lana producida localmente. Fue diseñado por el arquitecto George Woodhouse de Bolton, quien también diseñó molinos/factorias en Lancashire, incluido Victoria Mill en Miles Platting; Woodhouse también participó en la construcción del ayuntamiento de Bolton.
El edificio principal de 5 pisos está revestido con piedra caliza local y diseñado para parecerse a una casa de campo, con torres cuadradas en cada esquina coronadas por urnas de piedra. Inusualmente, una gran chimenea para el horno que alimenta la maquinaria de vapor del molino sale de una cúpula en la parte superior de una torre circular construida en una fachada. La chimenea tiene el estilo de una columna toscana alta. En el interior, el edificio se sostiene sobre columnas de hierro fundido sostenido por vigas que sostienen bóvedas de ladrillo. Se utilizó un edificio inferior adyacente para tejer el tejido de tweed.
Los trabajadores de la fábrica se declararon en huelga durante ocho meses, desde diciembre de 1913 hasta junio de 1914, luchaban por su derecho a afiliarse a un sindicato, pero la fábrica prosperó durante la Primera Guerra Mundial después de recibir un gran pedido de tejido caqui para el ejército británico.
El molino cerró en 1980 y se convirtió en apartamentos residenciales alrededor de 1988.
.An example is the brick, six-story Atrium building on the northwest corner of St. Paul and Andrews streets. It was built in 1884 for Tichner and Jacobi tailors for $60,000. When the three top floors burst into flames 10 years later, attracting a throng of onlookers, three clothing manufacturers were located there.

On the Baker College campus in Allen Park Michigan is this sculpture which I believe pays homage to engineering and manufacturing. With the exception of the legs (which are made from tree limbs) this fine looking animal is constructed out of everything form hubcaps, tractor seats, snow shovels to fifty five gallon drums. It stands about ten feet tall.
Here is something I do the electrical design for at work. I'd just finished testing. The HDR processing fits a factory and steel very well.
ERVING — Erving Industries is running its historic paper mill 24/7 making toilet paper, paper towels, napkins and dental bibs.
But the machines aren’t running 24/7 because of the coronavirus panic buying that’s left store shelves empty coast-to-coast.
It’s always this way, at Erving Industries, said Morris Housen, president, CEO and the third generation of his family running the mill, built in 1905, hugging the Millers River a 55-mile drive from Springfield.
“It’s such a capital-intensive business you always want to be running 24/7, every day of the year,” Housen said. “Every paper mill operates this way. We are always at capacity. There has been no surge.”
Erving makes paper — 120 tons of it a day — from recycled office paper collected around New England. The plant collects 12 truckloads of paper and ships 10 truckloads out each day.
The company makes giant “parent” rolls of material that it ships to its clients, Housen said. Those companies then cut up the paper and finish making it into rolls of toilet paper and paper towels, paper napkins and dental bibs.
The rolls destined for various products are barley distinguishable from one another when they leave Erving, Housen said...

J'aurais bien aimé l'appeler "le complot des plots" mais je l'ai trouvé peut-être trop sibyllin !
Bref. Après un petit post-traitement en N&B partiel, voici que notre plot et notre chantier, rue aux Sieurs, semblent tout de suite... Presque photogéniques !
Swine flu from Mexico, news of manufacturing plant scandals that made it back to the U.S., SARS 1 pandemic from China, SARS 2 from China, tariffs, a trade war turning into a cold war, the worldwide Covid pandemic from Wuhan of 2020-2021 that crippled the economy, which nearly shut the company permanently down.
Things are shifting. There are persuasive arguments being discussed among CEOs about hidden long-term costs of manufacturing overseas that do not show up in quarterly and annual financial statements but that bite back hard. Has the equilibrium point and risk shifted so that their company's best financial interest is to bring manufacturing back? That means higher prices. Will those discussions become reality?

Simca (Société Industrielle de Mécanique et Carrosserie Automobile; Mechanical and Automotive Body Manufacturing Company) was a French automaker, founded in November 1934 by Fiat and directed from July 1935 to May 1963 by Italian Henri Théodore Pigozzi. Simca was affiliated with Fiat and, after Simca bought Ford's French activities, became increasingly controlled by the Chrysler Group. In 1970, Simca became a subsidiary and brand of Chrysler Europe, ending its period as an independent company. Simca disappeared in 1978, when Chrysler divested its European operations to another French automaker, PSA Peugeot Citroën. PSA replaced the Simca brand with Talbot after a short period when some models were badged as Simca-Talbots.
During most of its post-war activity, Simca was one of the biggest automobile manufacturers in France. The Simca 1100 was for some time the best-selling car in France, while the Simca 1307 and Simca Horizon won the coveted European Car of the Year title in 1976 and 1978, respectively—these models were badge engineered as products of other marques in some countries. For instance the Simca 1307 was sold in Britain as the Chrysler Alpine, and the Horizon was also sold under the Chrysler brand.
Simca vehicles were also manufactured by Simca do Brasil in São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, and Barreiros (another Chrysler subsidiary) in Spain. They were also assembled in Australia, Chile[citation needed], Colombia[1] and the Netherlands[2] during the Chrysler era. In Argentina, Simca had a small partnership with Metalmecánica SAIC (more known as de Carlo) for the production of the Simca Ariane in 1965.
Les grues sont à l'œuvre pour remplacer les friches industrielles de la porte d'Aubervilliers par "une manufacture du luxe". Le groupe Chanel installera en 2020 une quinzaine de ses maisons de métiers d’art dans un luxueux bâtiment (architecte Rudy Ricciotti). Pour abriter les ateliers des joailliers, bottiers, plumassiers, chapeliers, etc. le futur bâtiment de 25 000 m 2 sera entouré d'une résille composée de filaments de béton censés rappeler les fibres du tissu.

A Chinese truck as it is used in the thousands, especially in the poorer countryside. It carries everything, from workers to bricks and crops. The engine block is mounted on the front. The vibrations and noise produced by this monster are unbelievable as are the black fumes it shoots into the air. My guess is that a great deal of the pollution in China goes back to vehicles like that. They are still in production. I saw a lot of brand new ones lined up at a yard of a vendor.
This picture was taken in April 2010 in Manzhao village in Xishuangbanna, west of JingHong. The village seems to be wealthier than other villages. They have a school, a lot of houses are new (like the one in the background with the blue roof) and the streets are paved. The workers on the picture are finishing another building. A lot of villages in Xishuangbanna have become relatively rich by tearing down rain forrest and planting rubber trees instead. This village however, is visited mostly for it's paper manufacturing and tea production.
