FORTUNE — Judith Walker used to have to drive more than an hour to get to her job at the General Motors plant in Lake Orion, Mich. Now, she commutes about five minutes to get to her job in Detroit.

Shinola has also just opened a retail location in the New York City neighborhood of Tribeca. The road to this Motor City start-up began with a simple idea: We wanted to manufacture in the United States, recalled Heath Carr, chief executive of Shinola, the maker of Detroit-built watches and bicycles. (Yep, the company derived its name from the World War II phrase, You don't know s--- from Shinola.). The new Shinola, which bought the rights to the name but doesn't have anything to do with the old shoe polish company, has been in business for about 2½ years.

In the case of Shinola’s new watches, part of that story is construction in a fifth-floor factory above a Detroit design college.", "The company markets the Shinola out of Detroit, printing the city name on every product, even shoe polish made in Chicago (although it continues to move more production to Michigan).

Nearly a century ago, the name Shinola (pronounced SHY-nola) referred to a brand of shoe polish, immortalized in the old-timey saying, “You don’t know shit from Shinola.” Defunct for years, the watchmakers bought the slightly irreverent brand name and are hoping to shine up its reputation.

Its origin extends below to within 2.5 cm of the margin of the articular surface of the humerus at the elbow joint. The brachialis muscle and brachial muscle can be considered as the anglicized variant of the Latin expression musculus bracchialis. In classical Latin bracchialis means of or belonging to the arm, and is derived from classical Latin bracchium ,arm.", "The brachialis muscle is located in the upper arm. It lies underneath the biceps muscle. It acts as a structural bridge between the humerus, which is the bone of the upper arm, and the ulna, which is one of the forearm bones. The muscle is innervated by both the musculoskeletal nerve and the radial nerve. In some people, the muscle may appear doubled. Also called the brachialis anticus, its primary action is to flex the forearm muscles at the elbow. Due to its high contractile strength, the branchialis makes many arm and elbow movements possible. Such movements are important for the activities of daily life", "The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint. It lies deeper than the biceps brachii, and is a synergist that assists the biceps brachii in flexing at the elbow. It makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa.

In classical Latin bracchialis means of or belonging to the arm, and is derived from classical Latin bracchium ,arm.", "The brachialis muscle can contribute to pain in the shoulder, arm, elbow, hand and thumb. 1 Pain at the front and /or back of the base of the thumb. 2 Pain on the outside of the upper arm near the elbow. 3 Numbness or tingling in the back of the forearm and thumb. 4 Difficulty bending the elbow. The Elite-Kold Wrist and Elbow Ice Wrap is a good choice for brachialis pain. I like this wrap because it can be used for the elbow and forearm. To treat the brachialis muscle, begin with the wrap at the elbow then reposition the wrap to treat the wrist, thumb, and thumb pad (20 minutes per position).", "Anatomy and supply. The Brachialis is a long and strong muscle of the upper arm. It originates at the distal half of the anterior side of the humerus. In addition, the origin tendon attaches to the medial and lateral intermuscular septa of the arm, two dividing membranes separating the flexor from the extensor muscles. Pathology. In cases of extreme strain of the elbow, inflammation of the brachialis tendon (brachialis tendonitis) or injuries of the joint capsule often occur. Too many pull-ups, excessive tennis practice or other inappropriate strain of the elbow are among the typical causes.", "When properly developed, the brachialis muscles help the biceps appear bigger, especially the lower portion of the biceps.

It originates at the lower half of the front of the humerus, or upper arm bone, and inserts at the front of the ulna, or outer forearm bone. If you look directly at the front of your upper arms, you can't see the brachialis. This is because it actually lies underneath the two-headed biceps muscle group. To see the brachialis, you need to flex your arms by bending your elbows and then look at the outer side of your upper arms.", "The brachioradialis is a superficial, fusiform muscle on the lateral side of the forearm that attaches proximally on the lateral supracondylar ridge of the humerus and distally on the radius, close to its styloid process. Near the elbow, it forms the lateral limit of the cubital fossa, or elbow pit. The brachioradialis is a stronger elbow flexor when the forearm is in a midposition between supination and pronation at the radioulnar joint. When pronated, the brachioradialis is more active during elbow flexion since the biceps brachii is in a mechanical disadvantage.", "Function. The brachialis is the strongest flexor of the elbow joint. It is even a stronger flexor than the biceps brachii, because it is closer to the joint axis and furthermore only stretches over one joint in contrast to the biceps brachii.

They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth’s ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.
