    In a televised speech marking the holiday season, Dr. Burhan Ghalioun, president of the Syrian National Council (SNC) called for a UN involvement as Arab League officials were setting up observer teams in Syria. Observers are monitoring the Assad regime’s compliance with the plan to end the violent crackdown on protesters that has killed more than 5000 people since last March, according to the UN.

    On Christmas day, security forces continued with raids in several cities and arrests of peaceful protesters around the country. Ghalioun quoted the bible when addressing the nation on Christmas. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted,” (Matthew 5:4) he said, while wishing Syrians a merry Christmas and a happy new year. “We will ring the bells of the coming Christmas together in a new Syria; a Syria of love and peace,” Ghalioun added.

    Syrian protesters were creative while celebrating Christmas this year in the besieged city of Homs, as well as Hama. YouTube videos show protesters in Santa Claus suits in Homs. In Hama, protesters around a Christmas tree standing in front of a mosque demanded Syrian president Bashar al-Assad to step down.

    The Syrian American Council (SAC) reiterates Dr. Ghalioun’s call to bring the UN into the Arab League’s effort, and demands the Syrian regime to immediately end its violent crackdown on peaceful protesters. The Assad regime has shown absolutely no sign of wavering in its policy of mass murder, arbitrary arrests and torture of protesters. Therefore, SAC supports the establishment of safety zones and humanitarian corridors to protect Syrian civilians from the regime’s brutality.

    The Syrian American Council (SAC) was founded in 2005 to mobilize Syrian Americans to strengthen civil society in Syria, to promote friendly relations between the Syrian and American peoples, to engage civic and governmental organizations to advance civil liberties, human dignity and democracy in Syria. The organization has represented Syrian Americans to the U.S. State Department, Congress, and in international meetings and councils.

    Liberty Packaging Company proudly presents a new video about the problems that many manufacturers encounter with corrosion degradation to their products, including a look at the real costs associated with corrosion. The video is directed at manufacturers to help acknowledge these challenges, and provides guidance on how to alleviate the cost of corrosion with ideas that may not have been considered before.

    The affects of corrosion are robbing both our products and our economy of their full potential. ?Corrosion is an insidious and pervasive phenomenon…corrosion is a problem that all of us confront every day,? stated Dan Dunmire from the Office of The US Secretary of Defense in charge of the Corrosion Prevention Program. To support Mr. Dunmire?s statement, a 2002 study entitled ?Corrosion Cost and Preventive Strategies in the United States,? conducted by C.C. Technology Laboratories, estimated the direct cost of corrosion to the United States consumed 3.1% of the gross national product. Concerned with this corrosion problem, the United States Congress passed a law mandating that U.S. governmental departments must have a corrosion control objectives and prevention program in place.

    The new Liberty short film asks this question of product manufacturers: ?Do you know what you are spending on protecting your goods from corrosion?? The film then looks at the direct costs, such as packaging costs and coatings, but also examines the hidden costs associated with standard corrosion prevention programs, such as the application and removal of protective oils, disposal of non-environmental packaging waste, the non-compliance in International regulations, and the cost of rejected products and/or reworks. Joe Spitz, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Liberty Packaging stated, ?In order to have a successful corrosion prevention program, it is important for companies to evaluate all the costs associated with corrosion.? Spitz continued, ?Lowering a company?s cost of goods is essential today when competing globally, and packaging correctly is a responsibility all levels of management.”

    This video was produced in collaboration with Intercept Technology Group members Engineered Materials, Inc., and Xtend Packaging.
