Ganito ang mangyayari sa barko. Read along ... ...... ... ... ... ... ... ..




Taong 2005 at isang ordinaryong middle class pinoy si Noah. Nagpakita

sa kanya ang Diyos at sinabing "Pagkataposng isang taon ay bubuhos ang
ulan at babahain ang buong kapuluan ng Pilipinas. Gusto kong
gumawa ka ng isang malaking arko at isakay mo rito ang pares-pares
na mga hayop at mga mag-asawang pilipino sa iba't ibang

kapuluan." Ibinigay kay Noah ang specs ng Arko at taos puso nitong tinanggap ang responsibilidad na sagipin ang sambayanang Pilipino sa napipintong pagbaha.

Lumipas ang taon, muling nagpakita ang Diyos kay Noah. Walang arkong
nagawa si Noah at galit na galit siyang tinanong ng Diyos, "Nasaan ang arko na ipinagawa ko sa iyo?" Tumugon si Noah, "Patawarin po ninyo ako kung di po
natupad ang utos ninyo! Nagkaroon po ng malaking problema sa plano po ninyo ."


At inilahad ni Noah ang mga sagabal na nakaharap niya sa pag-gawa ng arko.
Humingi siya ng Mayor's permit pero papayag lang daw si Mayor kung ang gagawa ng arko ay ang construction firm ng kanyang pamangkin. Tumungo siya sa
Congressman pero papayag lang daw si Congressman kung may matatanggap siyang

30% commission. Nagtayo ng unyon ang mga kinuha niyang manggagawa at nag-strike.




Natunugan ng mga left-leaning groups ang kanyang balak at ang mga ito ay
nag-rally dahil daw sa hindi makatarungang pagpili ng mga taong sasakay sa arko (mga taong naniniwala lang sa Diyos ang pwedeng sumakay). Nakisali sa rally ang mga bakla at tomboy dahil bias daw na normal na mag-asawa lang ang pwedeng sumakay.


Ang civil society group ay nakisali na rin sa gulo dahil napag-alaman daw nila na ang pondong gagamitin sa paggawa ng arko ay galing sa donasyon ng
mga gambling lords at katas ng weteng.


Sa kaguluhang ito ay napilitang magpatawag ng hearing ang senado "in aid of legislation" . Sinubukan ni Noah na gamitin ang EO 464 para makaiwas sa hearing pero dahil hindi sya executive official, napilitan siyang tumistigo.


Nang malaman ng senado na utos ng Diyos ang pagpapagawa ng arko, dineklara
nila itong unconstitutional dahil hindi raw nito iginalang ang separation ng
church at state .


Nakialam na rin ang NBI at PNP at sinabi nilang meron silang impormasyon
na ang barko raw na ito ay gagamitin ni Erap sa kanyang pagtakas. Sinabi naman ng ISAFP at DOJ na ito raw ay gagamitin ng grupong Magdalo sa binabalak nilang coup laban kay Arroyo. Nilapitan ni Noah si Mike Defensor para makipag-usap kay GMA. Payag daw si GMA na ituloy ang arko kung ipapaskil
daw sa arko ang malaking mukha ni Arroyo na may slogan "Towards a Strong Republic". "Hindi po ako pumayag kaya hanggang ngayon po ay may TRO ang pag-gawa ng arko.

Sa palagay ko po kailangan ko pa ng 10 taon para matapos ang inyong proyekto." Ang huling wika ni Noah. Napa-iling ang Diyos at sinabing, "Di ko na kailangang
wasakin pa ang bansang ito. Hayaan ko na lang kayong sumira nito."

<b><i>from <a href='http://www.wikihow.com/Main-Page'>wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit</a></b></i><br/>
Creating an advertisement for a product or a service, seems to be a difficult task for many. They can sit at the desk, paper and pen in front of them, and not a word written. Here are some simple steps to get you started
<a name="Steps"></a><h2>  Steps </h2>
<ol><li><b>Begin the ad creation by analysing your product and consumer.</b> Each ad has to be made specifically for those who are interested in buying the product or using the service, namely the "Consumer", or the<i>Target Audience</i>.
</li><li><b>Understand WHO will buy or use your product / service.</b>  Search for as much information about them as possible.  If your product is already in the market you can obtain this information by conducting consumer surveys, talking to the sales people, or observing consumer behaviour at various stores. If the product has not as yet launched, use <i>best guess strategy</i> or existing market information. Thus you will be able to define who your buyer or user is - this is your Target Audience, or the Consumer.
<ul><li>If you are selling a pencil, your target audience may be kids, students, women, men or teachers.
</li><li>Are they the users, buyers or influencers? In the case of pencils users may be students, buyers are parents and influncers are friends.
</li></ul>
</li><li><b>Find out WHAT is so special about your product, the unique selling proposition</b>. Make sure you find only one compelling reason otherwise you will confuse your reader. This is also sometimes referred to as the brand positioning. Look for something that  current competitors do not offer or do not overtly claim to offer.
<ul><li>Identify a relevant unique product benefit. By relevant it should be something that the consumer needs or likes, and not that's unique for the sake of it. An example of something unique to your product but not relevant is  a colourful garbage bag.
</li><li>Finding the one most relevant reason is more challenging than it sounds. Make a list of your product benefits and then rank them in the order of importance to your Consumer (not to you). Concentrate on the top most benefits
</li><li>Is there an unmet desire or need, any frustration in the mind of your consumer, that will create a market for your particular product? Assess the need gap that exists for the product or service
</li><li>The product claim you make should be credible and trustworthy - don't make incredulous claims that your product can not deliver.
</li><li>Take for example the pencils. Do they need to sharpened or be lead replaced. Are they easy to grip, should they be smooth and stylish, and come in many attractive colors, so on so forth
</li></ul>
</li><li><b> Understand WHY will they buy or how will they use your product.</b> Why consumers buy this product category, your brand or the competitor's brand.
</li><li><b>Decide HOW to effectively convey the Product message.</b>  Use the information that you have collected to form a "Creative Brief" for your creative team.
<ul><li> Normally the product benefit or your USP is highlighted in the ad by using catchy headlines and attention grabbing visuals.
</li><li> For the tone and style of the ad you need to keep your Target Audience in mind. It should get their attention, be easy to understand, informative, correct in tone and manner and above all entertaining.
</li><li> Engage the consumer to make your ad <i>stand out</i> in clutter (a term used to describe plethora of ad messages that an average consumer is exposed to) and be different from competitors. Words such as <i>"Free"</i>, <i>"Extra"</i>, <i>"Best"</i>, <i>"New"</i> or <i>"Now"</i> are the traditional favourites. For an instant response, action words such as <b>Call Now</b>,<b> Hurry</b>, <b>Rush</b>, work well.
</li><li>Don't forget to include all the information that is required but at the same time don't overload.   Keep it simple and short.
</li></ul>
</li><li><b>Think of when will they buy, how will they shop for it.</b> This will help you decide how, when and where to advertise, what media is best for you; choices may be local Newspaper, web, pamphlets and many others.
</li><li><b>Admire your ad</b>. It might be a great ad, but you are not sure that it will sell what you want it to sell, until you have tested it  amongst your Target Audience. Put the ad out and  have a questionnaire ready to  find out if you have reached the audience you set out to.
</li></ol>
 
<a name="Tips"></a><h2>  Tips </h2>
<ul><li>Always write down everything, when you do that you can be sure everything is logical and not contradictory, also it serves as a template for checking.
</li><li>When in doubt trust your gut, even professionals do it.
</li><li>Check, recheck and check again is the gospel law of advertising.
</li><li>Follow the rules, but after that break them, great ads were created by breaking rules.
</li></ul>
 
<a name="Warnings"></a><h2>  Warnings </h2>
<ul><li>There's no such thing as a perfect ad, no matter how much you try there's always a better way.
</li><li>Ads cost a lot of money, a good ad takes your dollar a long way, it is worth paying a professional copy writer for a great ad.
</li><li>The steps above are basic steps, but ad making can be quite complex, a DIY ad should be attempted at your own risk.
</li></ul>
