 Friends and colleagues: After months of preparation, we have launched our
monthly half-hour video news magazine, the *Video News from TAC*.  Our first
installment, featuring a tour of Thailand’s cultural heritage now is
available on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site, *The Archaeology
Channel* (http://www.archaeologychannel.org) and is available for
distribution on selected cable TV systems.

 This inaugural installment of the *Video News from TAC* features a tour of
Thailand’s cultural heritage by ALI videographer, Teal Greyhavens.  From Chiang
Mai in the north to the islands around Koh Chang in the south, this tour
features the Hmong, Yao and Akha hill tribes; spectacular Buddhist temples;
bathing elephants; traditional food production and marketing; and the
monuments of the capitol, Bangkok.  Thailand is a country whose past and
present coalesce in the lives of its people and the environment they have
managed for many centuries.

 This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.
We urge you to support this public service by participating in our
Membership (http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting(
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we
reach out to the world community.

 Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
