FunAsset Adds CleanMail to Its Bulk Mail Discount Solutions

FunAsset's suite of bulk mail discount software solutions has been bolstered with the introduction of CleanMail On Demand.

Ilminster, UK (PRWEB) June 6, 2005

FunAsset, a UK leader in enterprise connectivity, data conversion and output management solutions since 1988, has updated its successful On Demand software so organisations sending over 1000 items of UK mail in a single run can take advantage of the Royal MailÂ’s CleanMail bulk mail discount service.

The inclusion of CleanMail has bolstered the number of discount services the On Demand software can handle to nine – MailSort 120 (OCR), MailSort 120 (CBC), MailSort 700, MailSort 1400, WalkSort, CleanMail (OCR), CleanMail (CBC), CleanMail Plus (OCR) and CleanMail Plus (CBC).

"Organisations now only need to integrate a single software solution to take advantage of any one of the numerous postal discount rates offered by the Royal Mail", comments Mark Williams, Marketing Coordinator for FunAsset. "More importantly, CleanMail On Demand opens the door for organisations previously unable to meet the minimum mail quantity requirements of MailSort and WalkSort."

The concept behind CleanMail On Demand is identical to its counterparts - MailSort and WalkSort On Demand. Mail data from almost any source (mainframe, server or PC) is analysed and processed on-the-fly prior to being output in a format that adheres to the Royal MailÂ’s stringent address stipulations.

No changes are needed to an organisationÂ’s mail operation and no separate address database is required (a prerequisite for most other bulk mail applications).

"CleanMail On Demand saves significant amounts of money on postage day in day out", states Mark. "Not only that, users can quickly and easily upgrade to MailSort or WalkSort On Demand if their mailing circumstances change."

If you would like to find out how you could save significant amounts on money on your postage by using CleanMail On Demand, please visit funasset. com.

Parental Alienation Disorder Leaps into Mental Health History with the American Psychiatric Association

Parental Alienation Disorder Leaps into Mental Health History with the American Psychiatric Association

Parental Alienation Conference - Mt. Sinai School of Medicine www. cspas. ca - October 2nd and October 3rd.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 14, 2010

Psychological research and studies have been investigating the phenomenon known as Parental Alienation for the last 60 years. Today, most mental health professionals regard it as a form of child abuse. During the year parental alienation also leaped into mental health history, as the American Psychiatric Association announced it is now considering - Parental Alienation Disorder for inclusion in DSM-5. There are 3 possible ways for P. A.D. to get into DSM-5: in the main body of Appendix A as a mental dis-order, in Appendix B as a relational problem or in Appendix A in one of the appendices of DSM-5 under Criteria Sets and Axes for further study.

The inclusion of Parental Alienation Disorder could help 200,000 children in American every year who suffer from this condition. It could also help abate this form of child abuse and bring families better treatment solutions along the way. In one of the American Journal's of Family Therapy, Dr. William Bernet defined parental alienation as a mental condition in which a child - usually one whose parents are engaged in a high conflict divorce - allies himself or herself strongly with one parent and rejects a relationship with the other parent without legitimate justification. "

In NYC an international conference on parental alienation will be taking place at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine - October 2nd and October 3rd in the Stern Auditorium. Joseph Goldberg, Founder of the CSPAS conference said, " The conference is important to every mental health professional involved in helping children and families. It also presents an opportunity for many family lawyers to educate themselves in ways that can help their clients obtain court interventions that are appropriate to helping these children."

If you are interested in attending the conference please visit and register online at http://www. CSPAS. ca/nyc (http://www. cspas. ca/nyc) or call 647-476-3170. For all media list inquiries about and for the event please contact 646.370.3458.

"Both of the awards received on behalf of work done for Georgetown University's Flagship Alumni means that the strategic planning and analysis that went into this site has achieved a superior result. My primary objective in creating this new DCHOYAS.

We are thrilled to hear their work on our behalf won such a high and well-deserved honor."

"This website is a demonstration of both Karen's professional talent and personal dedication to Georgetown. She worked tirelessly to ensure the website met the needs of the alumni club, and was generous in time and talent.
