The likelihood of the consumers having knowledge regarding the life and availability of the product is known as brand awareness. The detailed definition of the Brand Awareness is given in Brand Awareness Homework Help. It involves making the costumers aware about the existence of a specific brand or product. In today's materialistic world it is quite crucial that the consumers are aware of the existence of a specific brand or product because the consumers usually are inclined towards branded products. Because of this reason only various companies spend a lot of money on advertising the brand and making people aware of the product. Because the decision of the consumers regarding the purchase of a product largely depends on whether he has the knowledge about that brand or not. Brand awareness thus proves to be an asset for the companies. Brand recognition and brand recall both come under brand awareness. Brand recognition can be inferred as the consumers' ability to identify a specific brand when they are questioned regarding that brand. Whereas brand recall is said to be the ability of the consumers to recall a brand or specific product from their memory whenever that are given any hints regarding that brand.

Various techniques of Brand Awareness
The Brand Awareness has many varieties out of which some are enlisted in the Brand Awareness Homework Help as below
1. Traditional Advertising: – Nowadays the print media is not used as frequently as it was used in the earlier times. Still many people prefer the conventional way of reading newspapers and magazines. Advertisements which are published with correct strategy can be used to target a specific mass of people and catch the consumers' attention towards the brand or the product. The various points given in Brand Awareness Homework Help describe regarding the various techniques of brand awareness.
2. Sponsorship: – Sponsoring a specific event, campaign, fundraiser can lead to huge awareness of the product. Sponsorship in a charity event or any social awareness event can help in creating huge awareness of the product and also improving the visibility of the product or company name. When a company sponsors any local event then the consumers associate the brand or product with their community.
3. Social Media: – Today's generation is found to use the internet rigorously and widely especially the social networking sites are most visited places and sought on the internet. These sites can therefore found to be effective tools for creating brand awareness and making the consumers aware of the product. In these social networking sites the consumers are found to discuss their interests, which brands they are inclined to and what they plan on purchasing. Therefore it becomes a perfect platform for mass scale brand awareness.

Health 2.0 – A Global Perspective at the Seventh Annual Fall Conference
By Maneesh Juneja, Digital Health Futurist, MJ Analytics
In less than 2 weeks, I'm giving a talk at Health 2.0's Seventh Annual Fall Conference on what's happening in the world of Health Technology outside of the USA in a session, Health 2.0 – A Global Perspective. For a lot of companies, including startups, the primary focus is conquering the US market. The global health information technology market is expected to reach $56.7 billion by 2017, with the U.S. and Canada accounting for the largest share. Silicon Valley remains a dominant force in the health technology industry, and every country is trying to emulate that success.
Given these statistics, should you be looking to understand what's happening around the world? I would argue an emphatic YES!
I live in London, England and I've had the opportunity to travel a lot so far. I've visited 44 countries in total, and undertook a 6 month round the world trip in 2010, mainly because I wanted to witness the changes in Emerging Markets with my own eyes. The pace of change in the developing world is so rapid, I've never witnessed anything like it in my whole life.
In the 21st century, it's no longer a unipolar world, but a multi-polar world. I share a practical example. I have a cousin who lives in Kolkata, India. A big city, with 14 millon people in the metropolitan area. In the West, what are the first images that come to mind when you think of Kolkata? Mother Theresa, poverty and slums? Well, Kolkata got access to 4G mobile technology BEFORE London (Kolkata in April 2012, London in October 2012). I bet you find that surprising news?
In fact, the reason I founded the Health 2.0 Chapter in London was because I attended Health 2.0 India in 2012. I was taken aback by the energy of the Indian entrepreneurs and their ambitions to make a huge impact in healthcare. A quick conversation with Matthew Holt, co-founder of Health 2.0 convinced me to start the chapter in London.
When it comes to mHealth, there is a lot going on in Africa, and a recent PwC report estimates that a million lives could be saved in sub-Saharan Africa by 2017 from the use of mHealth technologies.
An Open Access journal, Globalization in Health has recently launched a thematic series called 'Reverse innovation in global health systems: learning from low income countries'. One of the questions the series aims to answer is "Can health innovations designed for a developing country setting be applied in a developed country setting?". How many healthcare leaders in the developed world have contemplated this question? Not many, given my own experience.
When I looked at the burden of Diabetes, I found that China is estimated to have 114 million adult Diabetics and 493 million with prediabetes. Those are staggering figures. Paul Zimmet, honorary president of the international Diabetes Federation has said, "Politicians and public health bureaucrats and authorities just don't realize or accept yet that diabetes is set to devastate health budgets. They need a big wakeup call before it turns into a diabetes apocalypse!". Now, if you've developed technology that is being used to help prevent and/or manage Diabetes in the USA, should you be considering the Chinese market as part of your future strategy?
At the Health XL Global Gathering in Dublin earlier this year, there was a panel discussion called 'Where is the Silicon Valley of Digital Health?'. I've been working hard on undertaking research for my talk at Health 2.0 Silicon Valley. I'm continually amazed at the creativity and resourcefulness displayed by entrepreneurs that work in low resource settings.
Today, not everyone in the world can access to the internet, but that's changing. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has announced internet.org, a global partnership with the goal of making internet access available to the next 5 billion people. I'm curious what new innovations may arise once those people are connected to the rest of the world. Are you building long term relationships with innovators beyond your current geographies?
I'm very excited at the opportunity to share my learnings, insights and observations at the Health 2.0 Silicon Valley conference. I truly believe that we have a lot to learn from each other, and that many of the challenges in Global Health the world faces can be met by understanding what's happening around the globe.
Register here for Health 2.0 – A Global Perspective.

One of the most useful things introduced by the Android revolution was perhaps the navigation apps. By simply downloading these fascinating and ever so resourceful apps to your phone, you no longer require dozens of tiny bits of instructional papers stuffed in your pocket to help you reach your destination.
Here is a comprehensive list of the top five android navigational apps to help you choose one that best caters to your individual needs.
CoPilot Live Premium
Stated as "the best blend of features, performance and cost" by Engadget, CoPilot stands out as the number one paid GPS navigation app for androids, in over more than 25 countries. Its latest version has a totally revamped UI allowing easy access to the frequently used features.
The CoPilot offers its users a choice between three different routes thus allowing you to choose one that's the most convenient for you in terms of traffic, time of the day and your own individual preferences while at the same time allowing you to navigate to a full post code, house number, address book contact or even a photo.
Moreover, if you want to avoid any specific route for any particular reason, you can also re-route by simply dragging the onscreen route to a different location. According to the Pc Pro, "CoPilot's broad selection of features, excellent mapping and reasonable price make it the best choice for Android, just ahead of other rivals"
The latest version of the CoPilot also allows you to opt between 3D or 2D maps, or a directions-only navigation view, and there's also a new walking mode to help you find your way around when on foot.
The app is also integrated with social networking platforms like face book places and twitter updates allowing you to share your journey details and keep in touch with your friends. Read the full review and presentation here :Copilot premium for Android .
Like the name suggests, Navigon allows your smart phone to turn into a fully functional navigation system with 2D or a 3D Google street view of your intended destinations. Moreover, this paid navigation app not just provides you with a standard, run off the mill solution but also recommends the best route with its NAVIGON MyRoutes along with two further optional routes.
Also the new and improved Lane Assistant Pro, Reality View Light and Clever Parking are quite helpful in situations where the traffic starts to get chaotic. Some of Navigon's most prominent features include:
+ Google Street View – destination preview (where available)
+ Lane assistant / Active Lane assistant (requires android 2.2 or higher)
+ Bluetooth support (requires android 2.2 or higher)
+ NAVION Latest Map Guarantee
+ Google Local Search
+ Foursquare log-in at destination
+ Glympse: Send your position information to selected users
+ Safety Cameras (permanently installed cameras)
+ Reality View Pro
+ Speed Assistant
+ NAVIGON Reality Scanner
+ NAVIGON MyRoutes
+ Text-to-Speech and precise spoken announcements
+ Different English accents + Last Mile – can save automatically your car's position and switches to pedestrian- resp.public transport mode* for walking of the last mile
+ Extended Pedestrian Navigation/Destination entry with coordinates +Public transport mode is available only when in-app "Urban guidance" has been purchased
+ NAVTEQ map material for 44 countries of Europe
+ Urban Guidance – navigate in many European urban areas using public transport**
+ Panorama View 3D
+ NAVIGON FreshMaps XL
+ NAVIGON cockpit
+ TrafficLive
+ POI all-in-one (extra POI package)
+ Mobile Alert Live – a new MOBILE danger zone service
+ NAVIGON LPG and Bio-Diesel filling stations
There is also a Navigon gps app for iPhone presented HERE .
Sygic Aura
Crossing the benchmark of over 20,000,000 downloads over the past six years, Sygic Aura is one of most downloaded offline navigation app for androids.
The Sygic Aura offers a turn by turn voice guided navigation using a 3D acceleration technique. So whether you are driving or walking, this application greets you with a beautifully rendered map of the area along with detailed 3D representations of the landmarks around you thus making the app even more user friendly.
On the downside the Sygic Aura requires you to download the application along with the map of the area you reside in, which might take up quite a bit of your storage space. But rest assured, the loss of the space on your phone is definitely worth the while.
Also you can check the Sygic gps app for iPhone .
Route 66
Route 66; yet another popular GPS-based mapping and navigation app along with Follow Me™ augmented reality navigation is a highly recommended paid app for your smart phone.
As compared to others, With its powerful 3D map rendering and complete hardware acceleration, Route 66 compete with instant access to over 100 up to date maps (from top rated suppliers)thus allowing users to browse different maps, search, calculate and even simulate routes all completely free of charge. Thus with Route 66, you can now tap at any point on the map and start route calculation straight away while at the same time having the liberty to switch between day and night modes .
GPS Essentials
The GPS essentials or more commonly referred to as "the Swiss Army Knife of GPS navigation" by many is a software that uses the Google Maps platforms along with a multitude of other measures and markers which can be easily placed together on your dashboards alongside the Google Maps.It was chosen by many as : the best outdoors app available.
Some of the common features included here are altimeters; latitude and longitude figures; times of moon and sun rise and set; an AR mode; compass; speed, pace and distance measures and even charts that track these variables over time.
Moreover what I personally felt enticing about this particular app is that it allows you to not only add pictures to your travel but also provides waypoints hence following the course of satellites.
However, the only downside to this app is that there is no offline maps available, hence you need to stay connected if you're looking to follow a specific path.
Also,you can read about the 5 best apps that could help you find your lost or stolen smartphone .

[NEWS] Biofuel Company Spent Big on Utah Politicians
– by Nate Carlisle & Brian Maffly, February 15, 2016, Salt Lake Tribune
The storage tanks Washakie Renewable Energy was planning to build while Amanda Brown worked there weren't for biofuel Washakie actually made, she says. They were for the biofuel Washakie planned to buy.
Buying biofuel wouldn't allow Washakie to qualify for all the government benefits of making its own, but the company had a solution for that, Brown says.
Washakie brought children to the office near 3900 South and 700 East in South Salt Lake to help forge documents to make it appear as though the company was in compliance, Brown said. The documents, including bills of lading and laboratory reports, would go into the files in anticipation of IRS audits.
"They would have their 9- and 10-year-old kids come in and make the forms," Brown told The Salt Lake Tribune.
Washakie has connections to the Kingston group — the polygamous sect known for its fundamentalist Mormon beliefs and history of child abuse and forced marriages. Those connections were on display Wednesday when agents from the IRS and the Environmental Protection Agency served search warrants at Salt Lake County offices used by Washakie and other businesses affiliated with the Kingstons, also known as the Davis County Cooperative Society or the Latter Day Church of Christ.
F. Mark Hansen, a lawyer for the cooperative, said Wednesday the federal agents were seeking accounting records and that his clients were cooperating. Agents also searched the home of Washakie executive Jacob Kingston. No arrests were made.
The EPA in 2011 accused Washakie of reaping the rewards of federal programs meant to lessen U.S. reliance on fossil fuels, without actually producing the renewable biofuels — made from grease, animal fat and other oil wastes — it claimed to have manufactured.
Meanwhile, Washakie, also known as WRE Group, has become one of Utah's highest-profile companies — a frequent advertiser at Utah Jazz games, on local TV stations and at Megaplex Theatres.
Washakie and its executives have also given about $190,000 to politicians and political committees.
Family fuel • Jacob and Isaiah Kingston are sons of John Daniel Kingston, who was jailed for beating his daughter into unconsciousness in 1998 after the girl, then 16, ran away from an arranged marriage to her uncle. John Daniel, who according to court testimony once had 14 wives, was on hand in 2011, when his sons held an open house at the Washakie production plant in Plymouth near Interstate 15 and the Idaho line.
"The media has inaccurately portrayed my family," John Daniel Kingston told a Tribune reporter at the open house. "We are all about sustainability, self-sufficiency and contributing to the community."
Washakie had help from U.S. Department of Agriculture programs designed to produce alternative fuels, which gave the company $569,592 in grants between 2011 and 2014, federal records show.
Biofuels can be manufactured from sources such as cooking oil and soybeans and mixed with conventional fuels to power cars, trucks or anything else with a combustion engine. Under a program created by Congress and administered by the EPA, fossil-fuel companies are required to buy a certain amount of biofuels or credits for biofuels from biofuel manufacturers.
Those manufacturers lessen their federal tax burden by $1 for every gallon they produce.
But Washakie appears to have been more engaged in the business of buying biofuel. A search of state and federal court records shows multiple lawsuits between Washakie and companies from which it sought to buy biofuel.
One company filed suit against WRE Group in 2014, alleging it did not follow through on a $90 million obligation to purchase fuels imported from Argentina.
Washakie executives "are either insolvent or operate their business without any regard for contractual obligations or rule of law," lawyers for importer LifeTree Trading PTE wrote in a suit filed in November 2014 in federal court in New York.
Washakie had earlier that year contracted with LifeTree to buy 90,000 metric tons of a biofuel known as soy methyl ester. But when the product arrived, Washakie declined to accept delivery, imposing huge losses on LifeTree, according to the suit.
"Almost immediately after it signed the contract, WRE began delaying its payment obligations and strung LifeTree along for over six months with false promises of performance," attorney Joshua Abraham wrote in court filings.
Big spenders • A month after LifeTree sued WRE Group, Washakie threw its holiday party at one of Utah's marquee venues — the Salt Palace.
One of the speakers at the Dec. 19 event was Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes, a campaign spokesman confirmed last week. A Tribune review of campaign-finance disclosures found that in 2014 and 2015, Washakie and its executives gave $96,235 to candidates and committees for state offices.
And from 2012 through 2015, the newspaper found, the company and those executives donated another $93,500 to federal candidates and committees.
No one has benefited like Reyes. He has received $40,985 in campaign contributions from Washakie and another $10,000 from Jacob Kingston's wife Sally, campaign disclosures show.
Alan Crooks, a spokesman for Reyes' election campaign, said Reyes and one of Washakie's attorneys, Kurt Hawes, are old friends, and Reyes spoke to Washakie at Hawes' request.
Crooks pointed out that Washakie has given money to politicians across Utah and said the company never received any preferential treatment.
"They employ hundreds of people across Utah," Crooks said, "and bring the biofuel industry to Utah."
Crooks said he and Reyes did not know anything about Washakie's business practices.
Hawes, in an interview Thursday, said he and Reyes have known each other for years, but that he did not arrange for Reyes to speak at the Christmas party and didn't know how Reyes came to speak there.
Hawes, who is not a member of the Kingstons' faith, said he left Washakie a few months ago to pursue other career opportunities. But he still had an obligation to Washakie as a client, he said, and declined to answer specific questions about its business practices.
"As a general matter, the industry was somewhat new," Hawes said. "People were getting used to how it works. Just as in any business venture, people think they can do things, and sometimes it works out. Sometimes it doesn't."
Efficient growth • In 2014, Washakie purported in its advertising and testimony to the Utah Legislature to be producing 20 million gallons a year and investing millions in a 40,000-square-foot crushing plant and 123-foot-tall silo for processing oilseed from locally grown soybean and canola.
Washakie was able to secure favorable tax arrangements from Box Elder County in connection with this project. In December 2014, the county commission agreed to establish a 1,000-acre economic development area on the Plymouth project. Any property tax increment from this investment is to be used to upgrade roads serving the plant, according to Mitch Zundel, Box Elder's economic development director.
He did not know whether the crushing plant was completed, but he emphasized that no county money has been diverted to the Washakie development area.
Three months after the economic development zone was approved, the EPA and the U.S. Department of Justice announced Washakie had agreed to pay $3 million in fines to resolve a 2011 complaint issued by the EPA.
An EPA inspection had revealed that Washakie's Utah facility had "failed to produce any biodiesel" eligible for federal credits between January and October 2010, but collected $2 million based on claims that it produced millions of gallons, according to a stipulated settlement.
Washakie then reported to the EPA that the fuel had actually been produced in Texas and New Jersey, but EPA investigators found that no applicable biodiesel had been manufactured at those facilities, either, and Washakie "was not able to provide production records to support" its claim.
The company released a statement saying its violation was a result of a "misinterpretation" of federal law regulating renewable fuels and that the firm "has an excellent compliance record and is committed to its vision of renewable fuel's continued growth and continued commitment to compliance, national independence from foreign oil, and greenhouse gas reduction."
Washakie was cited with eight violations related to record keeping and reporting in addition to the EPA's main allegation of improperly claimed credits.
Brown says she worked in the South Salt Lake offices of Washakie in 2012 and 2013. The same day she learned about a $2.2 million tax credit Washakie planned to claim, she got a job offer from another company. She took it.
"I wasn't comfortable with all of the frauds that were going on," she says.
A lawyer for Washakie did not return a call seeking comment Friday.
After Brown, who's not a member of the Kingston group, saw news of Wednesday's raid, she called the IRS and the U.S. Department of Justice to tell them her experience with the company.
She left voicemails, she says, but no one has called her back.
Utah lawmakers were scheduled last week to hear an appropriations request from Sen. Peter Knudson on behalf of Washakie for $100,000 to study how to efficiently grow soybeans in Utah. The day after the Washakie raids, Knudson withdrew the request.
"We're going to pull this one at this time," said the Republican from Brigham City, about a half-hour from Washakie's plant in Plymouth. "We're still working on some details."

SOURCE: Beaurline, L. A., ed. Introduction to The New Cambridge Shakespeare: King John, by William Shakespeare, pp. 1-62. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990.
In the following excerpt, Beaurline traces parallels between the structural design and characterizations of King John.
Like Shakespeare's other histories and tragedies, [King John] falls into two unequal parts, roughly equivalent to Acts 1-3 and 4-5.1 The first part concerns two challenges to John's authority, one of which he finesses, the other he overcomes: the second part concerns the French invasion, which the kingdom survives but John does not. Part I is dominated by three massive scenes with Tamburlaine-like debates, used as weapons with intent to beat down an opponent. Part II still contains some big speeches, but the scenes are scaled down and they move ahead breathlessly from one catastrophe to the next. Part I creates the conditions for John's tragedy in a series of...

National Railway Museum
National Railway Museum Shildon, also known as Locomotion: the National Railway Museum at Shildon or Shildon Locomotion Museum is a railway museum in Shildon, County Durham, England. The museum is a branch of the National Railway Museum (NRM), which is part of the Science Museum Group. Shildon acts as an annex, with important exhibits on display in the NRM's headquarters at York, though major exhibits are regularly rotated.
The museum was opened on 22 October 2004 by Prime Minister Tony Blair. Built at a cost of £11.3 million, it is based on the former "Timothy Hackworth Victorian Railway Museum". The museum is operated in partnership with Durham County Council and was expected to bring 60,000 visitors a year to the small town. However, during its first six months, the museum attracted 94,000 visits. In the 12 months to March 2013, the museum had 230,000 visitors. NRM Shildon was shortlisted as one of the final five contenders in the Gulbenkian Prize, which is the largest arts prize in the United Kingdom.
The museum is sited near Timothy Hackworth's Soho Works on the world's first passenger railway, the Stockton and Darlington Railway (opened on 27 September 1825 with a train hauled by Locomotion No 1 which took 2 hours to complete the 12-mile journey from Shildon to Darlington). The town was to become a major centre for British railway engineering thanks to the Shildon wagon works, which closed in 1984.
Shildon station, on the Tees Valley Line was rebuilt and modernised as part of the museum's construction and is actually situated adjacent to the trail and demonstration rail line through the museum site. It is served by all services on the line, operated by Northern Rail.
Museum landmarks
The museum is arranged as stops along the 1 km demonstration line with station direction board signs and information points on the trail between the car parks and the main collection building. The museum has a six-spur apron in front of the main shed and another short length of track for showing off resident locomotives and visiting trains.
The trail starts at the 19th-century welcome building. The original Sans Pareil is on display here.
The second building is Timothy Hackworth's house. It contains several activities about the history of Shildon. Soho is a stone building that was a railway workshop, having originally been an iron merchant's store. The fourth stop is the former goods shed for the town, with most incoming and outgoing goods being delivered to the railway by horse and cart. The building is built partially from recycled stone sleeper blocks, the old fixing slots being visible in the wall.
As private vehicles are not allowed beyond here for the 750-yard journey to the Collection a courtesy link bus, the Eco Bus, runs from near here on its 15-minute sequence. The railway station's parcel office is the next part of the trail and at the junction, visible across the tracks are the former stables for the early horse-drawn wagonways that linked to the line. The coal drops were a refuelling point for steam locomotives. Wagons were hauled up an incline and the coal 'dropped' down wooden chutes into the tender below. The light engine is an interactive pole that displays colours. You can change the name of the pole if you text in.
The trail passes under the roadway, and the Eco Bus route crosses on to the museum's rail line for a short distance. There is a children's playground for children and a picnics outside the Collection building. The trail ends at the largest building in the museum. It contains the exhibition hall and a conservation workshop with viewing gallery to see the work carried out by volunteers restoring some of the exhibits. Other facilities in the building include interactive games, a cafe and shop.
Eco bus
The eco bus is a courtesy coach that runs from 10:30, and from the Goods shed to the Collection and leaves the buildings every 15 minutes. Its final return trip leaves "Collection" at 16:30 (summer) and 15:30 (winter).
The museum is home to several locomotives from the National Collection, including a replica of Timothy Hackworth's Sans Pareil. The original engine, built to compete in the Rainhill Trials, is also at Shildon. The trials were to decide which engine should operate the passenger railway between Liverpool and Manchester. After a 175 years absence from the town, the locomotive was returned and is displayed in the Welcome building. LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard which is usually displayed in the NRM's York museum was temporarily displayed in the museum from June 2010 to July 2011. In 2014, ahead of the 75th anniversary celebrations for Mallard's setting the world steam speed record, 8,000 visitors turned up to welcome five sister A4 locomotives including 60008 "Dwight D Eisenhower" and 60010 "Dominion of Canada" that were repatriated from North America, the latter was given a cosmetic overhaul in Shildon's workshop.
The main exhibition building houses most of the collection and includes the sole examples of the prototype APT-E and Deltic units. The museum has a wind turbine which provides power to the National Grid and an on-site biodiesel bus for transporting visitors around the site without harming the environment.

US has a great deal of racing around the country, many circuits and also a few clubs that organize marshals. Traditionally, the uniform is white in color and up to each marshal to purchase their own overalls or pants/shirts. However some clubs issue their own overalls for specific events like F1 at COTA or Indianapolis events.
SCCA F&C corner worker uniform in White.
USAC Flag & Track marshal at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Blue.
Flag & Track marshal at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Blue.

During his nearly 30 years as an actor, Giamatti has won both Emmy and Golden Globe awards, along with nominations for an Oscar and a Tony, and we sit down with the multi-talented actor to learn what has kept him going during his prolific career. Plus, we take a look at Pebble Beach, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary by hosting this year's U.S. Open, look into the world of Bourbon collecting, and go inside Tabacalera de Garcia, the famous factory that makes Dominican Montecristos, Romeo y Julietas and H.

This artist's impression shows the focal plane unit of the Planck telescope.
Planck's instruments will operate at a few degrees above absolute zero. To achieve this, a series of cooling stages are required. Without any additional cooling, the spacecraft itself can passively cool to around 50 K (about -223ºC).
For the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) the focal plane is cooled to around 20 K (about -253ºC). The signals received in the instrument horns are amplified and passed through waveguides to a back-end unit (which is at around 300 K, or about 27ºC) where the signals are processed.
The High Frequency Instrument (HFI) unit is more compact and sits entirely within the LFI housing at about 18 K (about -255ºC). The bolometers (devices for measuring incident electromagnetic radiation) are then stage cooled to just 0.1 K (-273.14ºC) with the detected signals again processed in a warmer back-end readout and data processing unit.
Isolating the various components and cooling only small volumes to the coldest temperatures the optimum efficiencies and mission achieve lifetime.

I'm considering moving tax software from Ftax, and the "next ones up" in terms of price bracket appear to be TaxCalc and BTC, so they are the ones I'm considering right now.
Ftax is basically an electronic tax return form, and you fill it in just like you would a paper one. I love it, and the support team, but the credit code issues we've been having recently have been stopping us getting work out and it's really frustrating. Dissent in the ranks mean boss lady needs to look into other options!
I've used Digita and really couldn't get on with the interface (entering loads of schedules and it magically generates the form) - I felt very out of control with it and it didn't feel logical to me - I couldn't get my head round it anmd don't want anything like it again.
So: what do you think would suit me? And in general, what do you consider to be good software?
Ideally I don't want to spend more than £500 (ex VAT). We have 3 users here in the office - 2 main and one occasional. I get the impression Taxcalc is one licence per office, and BTC seems to be priced per user (grr).
Any ideas? Really honest reviews welcome!

BTC gets my vote
I've used Taxcalc & swapped to BTC this year - BTC is quicker, easier and the support is miles better. For me it's a no-brainer but I'll admit I only need one licence.
Just ring BTC up and chat - been with them two weeks now and mighty impressed so far.
Currently use tax assistant whilst a good product we liked BTC database and you get 10 users with BTC where as just one with tax assistant
It just is?!
I don't know what makes it quicker but the CT returns in particular take a fraction of the time. Press the button to import the figures from the VT ixbrl file, do any addbacks and boom, one return. Try it out and see what you think. The SA100s aren't as quick (obviously) but I still find them quicker than Taxcalc. And the support is miles better, by far.
Just give it a trial run.....
On the user licences do you have to have one per person who uses it or can you reduce it to the max who might use it at the same time? That might save you money (if its possible)
Similar here. We moved from Absolute to BTC which was a huge improvement.
CT returns are very quick - you import basic data through the iXBRL accounts file (we use VT for this) and then adjust for any capital allowances/non-standard addbacks. Takes not more than 10 minutes from start to submission.
SA returns are a little less intuitive but you get used to it. BTC doesn't have a "facsimile" return on screen so you have to go through the sections for income/reliefs etc (it's easy enough but just a slight mental re-mapping). We have their client database module but haven't actively used this yet (we're still learning the produce) but in theory this lets you submit abbreviated accounts to Companies House through iXBRL which would save messing about with the Companies House PDF approach.
The only gripe (as stated by someone else) is the per-user licencing on the CT module. It means having to filter CT returns through one PC which is a bit of a pain (the cost of acquiring more licences just isn't worthwhile on a per client basis). Costs are competitive otherwise and support has so far, been generally good, although you do get the sense the company is pretty small in size so don't know how they would cope with a scale up in sales/demand.
I really like tax calc, but it does sound like BTC has the edge on CT returns which are a bit clunky in tax calc. The main boon on tax calc is that on the SA you can switch between "form mode" which looks like the tax return and "simple step" which is a set of questions.
The latter is great for staff who dont know the forms inside out.
There are lots of wizards and other things to make life easy, and I really like the calculator that allows you to do more or less instant tax projections which is handy for POA comps.
Not had any problems with support, albeit I havent had to ring them about anything for ages, when I have you get through to a real person who knows the software.
Have you read the small print properly on the BTC website? It seems to suggest that you only need a second "user" if you have multiple sites for the PM and SA solution? Only thing you would need to pay is an additional £47 per user for the CT module. Or at least thats how it reads to me?
Give them a call though, as stated above their customer service levels are fantastic.
Edit - forgot to say Im a very happy BTC user
BTC for us
We switched to BTC just this month, though from (the more expensive) Keytime so can't compare to Taxcalc. However, the CT module is excellent, being a very straightforward Excel-driven add-on and as VT users we slipped into it easily. The SA application has also done well so far - as has been said, it's not a facsimile copy, but is less clunky than Keytime and some others we looked at, which felt too much like a poorly finished Access front-end.
We will probably go for the full PM solution next year, once we've settled in with SA.
I was also impressed with BTC's service. A small issue with converting our data was dealt with with no problems, and during the evaluation period Andrew Ross kept in touch but without any hard sell.
BTC -One of the best thought out pieces of software we have used
Worth every penny and far easier and quicker to use than some more expensive names in the market
Support is second to none and really seem to go the extra mile to ensure everything works OK - especially when you consider the price.
Another happy BTC user here.
Give the trial a go, Im sure you wont be disappointed.
Download the latest Ftax forms
The new Ftax credit system is now fully transparent.
Download the latest forms and they will operate as they always have done, after you have logged into your Ftax Account from the form.
The new credit system enables Ftax to sell low use/ low cost options. So if you only have a few forms to file, or to top up, then it won't you cost too much. Basically, you only buy the credits you need. There are still 'unlimited use' options available as well.
You are in full control of your secure Ftax Account. Only the name and UTR are recorded to register the use of a credit. These records can be deleted if you wish, but there is no need, as everything is fully secure.
The intelligent Ftax tax forms still work exactly as they have always worked :-) I am glad to say that even more tax agents have chosen Ftax this year.
