Isuzu started when Tokyo Ishikawajima Shipbuilding and Engineering Co., It was in 1933 that Ishikawajima Automotive Works merges with DAT Automobile Manufacturing and changes its name to Automobile Industries Co., Ltd.In most of Asia, Africa, and Europe, Isuzu is mostly known for trucks of all sizes, after Isuzu small automobile sales drastically plummeted and Isuzu had to drop all sales of sedans and compact cars in the late 1990s. In the United States, Isuzu is mostly known for manufacturing rebadged Chevrolet Colorados as the Isuzu i-290 and the i-370, and also GMC's Envoy has been rebadged as the Isuzu Ascender. A meeting then followed with the Ministry of Trade and Industry results in the renaming of the truck to Isuzu, after the Isuzu River.Ltd. and Tokyo Gas and Electric Industrial Co. cooperatively plan to build automobiles.On January 30, 2008, Isuzu Motors America announced that it would discontinue the sale of passenger vehicles in the United States effective January 31, 2009.

Use light to turn your water feature into a night time highlight.
Ponds and water features in the garden are the horticultural equivalent of the TV in the living room. Many gardens use them as their visual focal point. Water provides sound, colour and movement (just like the telly) and, because ponds attract a wealth of wildlife, you get a never-ending flow of mini David Attenborough-style documentaries (again, just like the telly).But before you reach for your garden lighting catalogue, there are one or two dos and don'ts to bear in mind when lighting your pond. First, if you will forgive a statement of the blindingly obvious, is to make sure the lights are fully waterproof. Look for the Ingress Protection number IP68. The first number (6) means the fitting is dust tight, and the second number (8) means it is protected against complete and continuous immersion in water.are perfect candidates for uplighting. Placing one or more upward facing pond lights in the water below will spotlight the moving water against the darkness and accentuate their sense of motion. Try experimenting with lamps with different beam widths so the light beam is focused purely on the running water, rather than the surroundings.Bear in mind that the latter might cause leakage issues. Pond lights are available in stainless steel, solid copper or powder coated aluminium. Solid copper is not recommended for ponds where fish are kept. Another tip is to place your lights fairly near the surface. Putting them deep will reduce the power of the light reaching the surface.
Do You Know If You Have Diabetes
People who are prone to diabetes-especially those who have the disease in their family's history-should consider that there is a great possibility that they or their kids might inherit the illness. So, the best way to go about it is become very informed about the condition.For a person to finally know whether he or she suffers from diabetes, tests for diagnosis are a must. Although the symptoms can give you a hint whether you are suffering from the illness or not, relying on these are not enough. Experts say that only way to confirm if one has diabetes or not is to get a test. Now, there are so many types of tests that one can get including:random blood glucose test which, unlike the Fasting Plasma Glucose test, doesn't require fasting but the blood samples should be drawn out immediately after the person has eaten or has drunk something;
which is an auto-immune type targeting the body's immune system and the least common type; the "type 2 diabetes" also known as "non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" or "adult-onset diabetes" which is affects the amount of insulin produced in the person's body, and "gestational diabetes" which is common among women who are conceiving or pregnant.
- oral glucose tolerance test which requires the person to fast not less than 8 hours and prohibits him or her to smoke cigar and drink coffee before drawing the blood sample for the testing;
which is an auto-immune type targeting the body's immune system and the least common type; the "type 2 diabetes" also known as "non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" or "adult-onset diabetes" which is affects the amount of insulin produced in the person's body, and "gestational diabetes" which is common among women who are conceiving or pregnant.
