Computerized Inventory of Data on Texas Salt Domes
Based on our preliminary investigations, we have developed a computerized spreadsheet that compiles relevant information for storing chemical wastes in salt domes in Texas. This inventory serves as a convenient source of dome-related data, including location, physical dimensions, dome structure, surrounding strata, resources, and groundwater information. The database is particularly valuable for organizing data, generating lists, and creating tables to compare different domes and their potential uses and resources.
DATABASE
The inventory is stored using System 2000 (S2K), providing users with robust tools for managing the database. With S2K, users can define new databases, modify existing definitions, retrieve and update values, and maintain archival copies with an audit trail of changes.
The structure of the database is hierarchical, comprising data elements and repeating groups. Data elements store numeric or text values, while repeating groups organize related sets of data elements, linking different levels of the database. Output in the form of tables and reports is generated using the "Report Writer" tool.Bureau of Economic Geolog
Martin Luther
Former Augustinian monk Martin Luther (1483-1546) rejected the canon law rules of clerical and monastic celibacy as a dangerous denial of God’s soothing gift of marriage to remedy lust. He rejected the church’s sacramental theology of marriage as a self-serving biblical fiction, and instead called marriage a social estate of earthy life, open to Christians and non-Christians alike. And he rejected the church’s legal control over the family, and instead called for the state to govern family law and the church to offer pastoral care to families and catechesis for children. The new state family laws that emerged in Lutheran lands in response incorporated many traditional canon law and Roman law rules. But they also now called for mandatory parental consent, two witnesses, civil registration, and church consecration for valid marriages; strongly encouraged clerical marriage; greatly reduced the impediments to betrothal and marriage; permitted interreligious marriages; created new structures for the catechesis and education of children; and allowed for divorce in cases of serious fault, and remarriage for the innocent party. Luther’s views remained foundational for later Protestants into the twenty-first century and were critical parts of the family law reforms of early modern times

Social change and the family: Comparative perspectives from the west, China, and South Asia
This paper examines the influence of social and economic change on family structure and relationships: How do such economic and social transformations as industrialization, urbanization, demographic change, the expansion of education, and the long-term growth of income influence the family? We take a comparative and historical approach, reviewing the experiences of three major sociocultural regions: the West, China, and South Asia. Many of the changes that have occurred in family life have been remarkably similar in the three settings—the separation of the workplace from the home, increased training of children in nonfamilial institutions, the development of living arrangements outside the family household, increased access of children to financial and other productive resources, and increased participation by children in the selection of a mate. While the similarities of family change in diverse cultural settings are striking, specific aspects of change have varied across settings because of significant pre-existing differences in family structure, residential patterns of marriage, autonomy of children, and the role of marriage within kinship systems.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/45661/1/11206_2005_Article_BF01124383.pd
