The Wardrove Story
Magazine Cover
General interest regular periodical (typically a monthly) covering several topics by short articles (typically about 3-pages long) by in-house and external authors, carrying black and white and color advertisements and graphics, and printed usually on glossy paper.

Printed collection of texts (essays, articles, stories, poems), often illustrated, that is produced at regular intervals. Modern magazines have roots in early printed pamphlets, broadsides, chapbooks, and almanacs. One of the first magazines was the German Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen (Edifying Monthly Discussions), issued from 1663 to 1668. In the early 18th century Joseph Addison and Richard Steele brought out the influential periodicals The Tatler and The Spectator; other critical reviews began in the mid 1700s. By the 19th century, magazines catering to specialized audiences had developed, including the women's weekly, the religious and missionary review, and the illustrated magazine. One of the greatest benefits to magazine publishing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was the addition of advertisements as a means of financial support. Subsequent developments included more illustrations and vastly greater specialization. With the computer age, magazines (e-zines) also became available over the Internet.

“Smoking is a Bad Habit”


“Smoking is a Bad Habit”

Smoking of tobacco or tobacco products in any form is generally known as smoking. It has become fashion these days. The people young and old take pleasure in emitting clouds of smoke out of their mouths. Smoking is a bad habit. It is injurious to health.
Smoking can be done in two ways. Smoking of hooka or Hubble bubble was in vogue in olden days. In villages we could commonly see people gathering round a hooka and taking puffs by turns. Such scenes are becoming uncommon now. In hooka smoking the tobacco smoke was filtered through water. Now smoking of cigarettes, cigar, bidis or pipe is taking its place. This type of smoking is even more harmful, because unfiltered smoke goes direct to lungs. Smoking of cigarettes or bidis is becoming more popular these days.
In ancient India tobacco was an unknown thing. This plant was not cultivated in our country. Tobacco plant was brought to India from foreign lands. During the reign of Mughal emperor Jahangir an Englishman (Thomas Roe) who had come to seek trade relations with out country presented tobacco to Emperor Jahangir. He had brought some seeds of tobacco plant with him. From that time onwards smoking of hubble-bubble (hooka) became a matter of prestige the common people especially in villages. In due course of time it became a common habit and a grave social evil in India.
Tobacco contains nicotine which is a slow poison. It is harmful for the human body. Smoke goes directly to the lungs and harms them. It leads to many harmful diseases of the lungs and the respiratory system like asthma, tuberculosis or lung cancer. It harms the throat and cause cancer of the throat which is very common disease among the smokers.

Nowadays chewing of tobacco, Gutkha, Chtki, Pan Masala is becoming popular among young boys. Its use is also very common among the laboring classes because it is cheaper. Chewing of tobacco and tobacco products is all the more harmful. It is even more harmful than smoking. The poison direct to one’s mouth and throat. It causes cancer of the mouth or throat.
Even the government has come to realize the harmful effects of smoking. That is the reason why it has made it obligatory for the cigarette manufactures the written of statutory warning on each packet of cigarettes. ‘Smoking is injurious to health’ is written on each packet of cigarettes. It is pity that the people don’t’ care and do not abstain from smoking even after reading this warning. Smoking is a bad habit. It should be banned by the government.
It was Guru Gobind Singh the tenth Sikh Guru who spoke against the use of tobacco. He made it a religious tenet for the followers of his religion not even to touch tobacco. Smoking is prohibited in Sikhism. This wise step of the great Guru saved the Sikh community from the evil results of smoking.

Moral

The smoking is harmful for health. It is a bad habit. It spoils both the health as well as the money. Avoid this evil and help others to keep away from it. If someone in your family is a smoker, convince him and prevail upon him to give up this bad habit.

Malah, sebelum itu, Beberapa ahli kabinet beliau offer untuk pergi tapi beliau enggan.... Beliau kata "tak pa lah, kalau hangpa mati sapa nak jaga negara, biar saya pi sorang ja"

Kisah ini diceritakan sendiri tentera yang menjaga beliau ketika misi itu. Kuatnya hati beliau. Cekalnya hati beliau. Besarnya hati beliau:

1. Dia lah yang menggerakkan negara Islam yang lain untuk membantu Bosnia Herzegovina ketika umat Islam disana disembelih oleh pengganas Serbia.

2. Dia juga lah yang menghantar ratusan komando Malaysia yang dibawa masuk secara sulit ke Bosnia untuk membantu saudara seIslam kita ketika era pencerobohan dan pembunuhan beramai-ramai umat Islam di Bosnia ketika itu. “Kalau negara Arab ini tidak datang membantu, kita hantar sahaja askar kita,” - Tun Mahathir.

3. Dia juga lah berpakat dengan kerajaan Sultan Brunei menyediakan jumlah dana yang berjuta dollar untuk membeli senjata dan peluru anti kereta kebal untuk tentera Islam di Bosnia.

4. Dia lah yang pernah menangis ketika melawat Bunker yang menjadi pejabat Yasser Arafat di Palestin.

5. Dia juga lah pemimpin Islam yg Yasser Arafat hubungi meminta bantuan dan pertolongan ketika diserang oleh rejim zionis.

6. Dia juga lah yang mempertaruhkan nyawa isterinya,Tun Dr Siti Hasmah menaiki pesawat ke Baghdad membawa bantuan kemanusiaan kepada umat Islam demi untuk melepaskan sekatan Amerika Syarikat.

7. Dia lah yang digelar MahaFiraun dan dia jugalah yang lantang mengutuk kekejaman Yakjuj Makjuj / Zionis ke atas umat Islam serta mempertahankan Islam dimata dunia.

8. Dia lah yang berusaha keras, tak hanya duduk berdoa tanpa berbuat apa2.

9. Dia lah yang ketika saudara Islam yang berlainan parti mendoakan kecelakaan untuknya. Tapi dia diizin oleh Allah SWT masuk ke dalam KAABAH.

10. Dia jugalah pernah ditembak dan mengorbankan jawatan tertinggi yang beliau ada bagi menyelamatkan umat Islam di Bosnia.

Beliau bukan hanya berjaya Memerdekakan negaranya dari semua segi, tetapi berusaha memerdekakan negara-negara lain dari belenggu falsafah pembangunan yang dijana dari barat yang jelas muflis idealistiknya..

Siapa dia? Ya.. dialah..

Different Types of Levi's Jeans

In 1853, the California gold rush was in full swing, and everyday items were in short supply. Levi Strauss, a 24-year-old German immigrant, left New York for San Francisco with a small supply of dry goods with the intention of opening a branch of his brother's New York dry goods business. Shortly after his arrival, a prospector wanted to know what Mr. Levi Strauss was selling. When Strauss told him he had rough canvas to use for tents and wagon covers, the prospector said, "You should have brought pants!," saying he couldn’t find a pair of pants strong enough to last.

Denim Blue Jeans

Levi Strauss had the canvas made into waist overalls. Miners liked the pants, but complained that they tended to chafe. Levi Strauss substituted a twilled cotton cloth from France called "serge de Nimes." The fabric later became known as denim and the pants were nicknamed blue jeans.

Levi Strauss & Company

In 1873, Levi Strauss & Company began using the pocket stitch design. Levi Strauss and a Reno Nevada-based Latvian tailor by the name of Jacob Davis co-patented the process of putting rivets in pants for strength. On May 20, 1873, they received U.S.Patent No.139,121. This date is now considered the official birthday of "blue jeans." Levi Strauss asked Jacob Davis to come to San Francisco to oversee the first manufacturing facility for "waist overalls," as the original jeans were known as.
The two-horse brand design was first used in 1886. The red tab attached to the left rear pocket was created in 1936 as a means of identifying Levi’s jeans at a distance. All are registered trademarks that are still in use.


Men's Levi's ® Jeans

501 ® – Original fit. Classic seat and thigh. Straight leg. 17” leg opening. Fits below the waist. The Levi’s ® 501 ® jean is where it all begins. It has been altered slightly over the years to accommodate trends, but remains largely unchanged from its original inception. It is a great jean for every occasion and fits well on most men with average to slim builds.

501 ® Shrink-to-Fit ® – Original fit. Classic seat and thigh. Straight leg. 17” leg opening. Fits below the waist.
The Levi’s ® 501 ® shrink-to-fit jean is the original “raw” denim jean. An American classic, its popularity around the world is unmatched by another other jean. There is a trend today to buy them in true size and dry clean them or not wash them at all in order to keep the denim original rigid appearance. However, if you are going to wash them, you will need to buy them 1 to 3 inches bigger in the waist and 3 to 4 inches bigger in length than your normal size. They will shrink to your size after washing. For more information on sizing, see our 501 ® shrink-to-fit sizing chart.

505 ® Straight fit. Classic seat and thigh. Straight leg. 16.5” leg opening. Fits at waist.
The Levi’s ® 505 ® jean is a great choice for someone who wants a 501®, but prefers a zip fly. However, they are not exactly the same. The 505 ® has a slightly smaller leg opening and a slightly higher rise. They are also a little slimmer, but they are not a tight jean for most people.

514 ™ Slim Straight – Sits below waist. Straight leg. 17” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 514 ™ Slim Straight jean features a slim fit, but it is not a skinny jean. We have seen many people who have worn 501s for years have converted to the 514 ™. It also is a good alternative for someone looking for today’s slimmer look, but does not want the look of a skinny jean.

511 ™ Skinny – Sits below waist. Skinny leg. 14.5” leg opening.
They’re back! The Levi’s ® 511 ™ Skinny jean captures the slim tapered look. It is a very popular trend these days and has become a standard jean for today’s teens and younger denim buyers. Many buy them a bit longer and “stack” them against their footwear. For the sleekest look, buy them at your true inseam length. Most 511 ™ finishes feature wider belt loops and open top with shank button.

510 ™ Super Skinny – Sits below waist. Super slim fit. Skinny leg. 13.5” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 510 ™ Super Skinny jean is for those looking for the quintessential skater/rocker look. It has the skinniest leg and smallest leg opening of the Levi’s ® cannon. All 510s feature stretch elements (usually 2% spandex) that help preserve the skinny jean look at all times.

527 ™ Boot Cut – Low rise. Regular seat and thigh. Sits below waist. Boot Cut. 18.25” leg opening.
Originally known as the Low Rise Boot Cut Jean, the Levi’s ® 527 ™ is essentially an updated take on the classic 517 ™ Boot Cut. The wide leg opening is not considered a “bell bottom” and doesn’t fall like one. The opening is wider than the leg to allow for easy wear with boots, but the jeans are often worn with all footwear and look great with sneakers.

569 ™ Loose Straight – Sits below waist. Loose seat and thigh. Straight leg. 18.5” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 569 ™ Loose Straight provides the baggy look of the Levi’s ® line. Its leg opening is almost as wide as the 527 ™ Boot Cut’s leg opening, but the rest of the leg is just wide providing the loose fit. It can be worn with any footwear and is great for anyone who wants a lot of room to move in their jeans.

559 ™ Relaxed Straight – Sits below waist. Relaxed seat and thigh. 18” leg opening.
The Levi’s ® 559 ™ is for someone looking for a looser fit, but isn’t going for all out baggy look. It makes for a very good basic work jean, as the extra room provides the comfort while bending or crouching. If you’re not into the slimmer looks and want a looser, but not sloppy jean, the Levi’s ® 559 ™ is for you.

517 ™ Boot Cut – Slim fit. Fits at waist. Boot cut leg. 18.25” leg opening.
Fits at waist. These are the old school boot jeans. One of Levi’s ® oldest fits besides the 501 ™, the 517 ™ is probably the most classic “western” fit in the Levi’s ® line. They are also a great option for someone looking to join in today’s slimmer denim trends, but also wants to wear them with cowboy boots or any other footwear.

550 ™ Relaxed – Relaxed fit. Relaxed seat and thigh. Slightly tapered. 16.5” leg opening. Sits at waist.
The 550 ™ has been a staple of the Levi’s ® line for a few decades now. Its main feature is its tapered leg, making it a perfect for choice for someone looking for a comfortable and clean look. You’re usually going to want to buy these jeans close to your true inseam. Boots or other tall shoes are usually not a good option with the 550 ™. Most stick with casual shoes and sneakers.

560 ™ Comfort Fit – Comfort fit. Loose seat and thigh. Tapered. 16” leg opening. Sits at waist.
The Levi’s ® 560 ™ jean is great for anyone needing extra room. The tapered leg and normal rise help keep the 560 ™ from being just another baggy jean. It’s another good way to get a comfortable jean on larger builds without going baggy.

512 ™ Slim – Slim fit. Tapered leg. 15” leg opening.
The 512 ™ is a good choice for someone looking for a tapered leg, but doesn’t want skinny or relaxed fit. It’s very close to a 514 ™, but the leg narrows towards the ankle. This makes the Levi’s ® 512 ™ a great choice to wear with flip flops. You get a good fitting jean and they don’t end up snagging the back of the sandals.

Juniors Levi's ® Jeans

535 ™ Legging – Super Skinny. 8" front rise. 12 3/4" back rise. Ultra Stretch Fabric. Slim fitted jean legging with 5-pocket styling.
The ultimate in the skinny jean look, the Levi’s ® 535 ™ Legging, or “jegging”, is a very versatile jean that captures today’s skinny look.
