(1989) The scope or scan of DOMAIN's concern, compassion and care encompasses the world. What we are and what we do, as a finite organization, requires that we strategically target our efforts. On that account, the first restraint is our field of interest, that is, to define our field of interest as life. To be even more focused, our field of interest is ecosystemic life. seeks to understand, to support and to uphold ecosystemic life.

(1992) It is necessary to take on the task of describing the sprouting chamber
in a series of steps.
To build the apparatus:
1) A tank is required which is outfitted with a float control
which automatically holds the water level
within a few millimetres of the humidifier uptake cone.

(1992) Christine MacKenzie died, in Scotland, in 1977. Due to a less than effective welfare system, Christine was able to feed her young child, while she herself starved to death. Earth Lab (precursor to DOMAIN) produced the Christine MacKenzie Memorial Kit in memory of Christine and all others in the present and in the future who will havedifficulty feeding themselves. However, while Christine's hardship was a feature story on the BBC, possible solutions to her plight were of little interest to the media at the time. Perhaps times are changing.

(1991)There are two light fixture models to use. In both light fixture models, we use highfrequency, solid state, remote ballasts in order to eliminate the unwelcomed heat gain. From the 60% to 70% electrical energy is not able to be converted into light. The value of using solid state ballasts can be tested by simply touching the ends of the lamps. This is convincing of the difference.

a) Normal greenhouses subjected to overheating and full spectrum light. Current cooling and shading systems are internal and influence light intensity but not light quality.
b) Normal greenhouses subjected to an external Fluid Blanket System (FBS) which should hypothetically reduce internal temperatures as well as influence light quality without dramatically reducing light intensity.

(1991) Orientation of DOMAIN up until 1990:
Total, comprehensive, ecosystemic life support systems to support human life, dependent upon other life forms.
Closed systems, sealed, supply of all life essentials: supply O2, CO2 uptake, H20, energy (hv), elimination (waste processing),
five nutrient classes by means of a ratio
of other life forms to human life forms.
Protected and Controlled Environment Cropping Systems
versus environmental pollution
changing global climate
decentralization, and
local self-reliance, diminishing and / or eliminating transport
We now need to make a major transformation
from cropping systems (from the number 1 position to the number 2 position),
now situating healthy and safe human habitation
in the number one position.
Immediate healthy and safe human habitation
is an escalated priority.

(1988) To say that CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT CROPPING
makes it possible to grow anything, anytime, anywhere
does not mean that the same means and methods are used for any crop,
anywhere in the world.
It means that there are methods (e.g. varying tints used in the covering,
dependent upon the latitude; the multilevel option etc.)
which are suitable for each of the various environments
and economic conditions encountered.

(1988) Ecosystemic Principles
A number of principles have been developed over the most recent days and weeks. These principles relate and combine.
These principles are developed with respect to ecosystems:
the relationships between organisms, between species,
as an environment for one another, and between organisms
and their abiotic environment.
Yesterday, these principles came into focus in the session
which was titled: "The Cyclic 'Resource'".

DOMAIN has just aided project Kang, in Botswana,
through the services of Dr. S. Ameyaw, of Ghana, who acting
in behalf of DOMAIN, applied for and gained substantial funding
from Partnership Africa at no cost to the project.
Dr. Ameyaw is a planner.
One of his academic advisors, Professor Kiyoshi Izumi is one of our directors. Professor Izumi was also the senior supervisor

Self-sufficiency, regardless of latitude or altitude, requires a special attitude!
One type of a controlled and protected environment specific to plant life is The ECOcultural Chamber. It is the world's most advanced sequel to the greenhouse. Such a chamber was developed and built, in northern Scotland, in the mid 1970's and may still be in operation. One of the partners and the inventor of the system was Zeera P. Charnoe. Further research and refinement was conducted in North America from the mid 80s to early 90s. Some of the research and training was initially funded by the Province of Ontario, Canada.

(1988) The Nature of Systems
When we use the term "ecosystem",
we must particularly understand the nature of systems.
A system is such that the behaviour of any of its subsystems
or components is affected by the extent of the relationship of the components with one another and with the system as a whole.
The behaviour of the system is not the sum of the behaviour of its parts,
but the systemic behaviour is enhanced and extended
by means of the kind and the degree of coordination
and the high level of complementarity between its components
and / or its subsystems.

I will be mingling biographical data with the body of my message.
In 1965 and 1966, I served Boeing, as a consultant.
My work related to the Manned Orbiting Laboratory.
We had to support human life in space.
I worked with Rollie LePelle on the large vacuum chambers.
I worked with Dr. Graves on human physiology.
I had been working for the University of Oregon Medical School
for some while, for Dr. Paul Van Dreal,
in environmental medicine, in particular.

It is possible to determine protein content, vitamin content,
carbohydrate content and fat content,
