Colonialism Devours Itself : The Waning of Francafrique
France is the only country that never decolonised its colonies, emotionally, financially or strategically.In the aftermath of losing the Second World War, notwithstanding de Gaulle's attempts to convince his people otherwise, the French knew the game was up. (The Resistance fighters were heroes; but heroes are lonely.) For France, after 1945, the Second World War blended into the early Cold War, which Paris jumped into the day before it began.It fought in Indochina, and lost again. The independence war dragged on in Algeria. Then France lost there, too--painfully, with millions of its ordinary citizens expelled to a homeland that many of them hardly knew. But Sub-Saharan Africa was still there. France produced a postcolonial antidote: 'Françafrique', France's sphere of influence (or 'backyard') over its former West and Central African colonies.France loved Africa. Some Frenchmen died for 'Françafrique'; others made millions from it. The entire toxic edifice is now crumbling away. Young Africans are happy about this--but not so many of their parents, who often live in France.In his inimitable style, Gérard Prunier recounts a tragic transcultural saga, with one leg in the past and one in the future: the end of 'Françafrique'.

Energy Capitol : The Waning of Regulatory Form
Energy Capitol explores the waning of regulatory politics surrounding large-scale energy systems in the United States at the turn of the millennium. Throughout the twentieth century, large-scale energy systems in North America and Europe were highly regulated by a national political community whose decision-making authority relied on positions of bureaucratic and capitalist-led industry organization.After restructuring in energy markets such as natural gas and electricity during the 1980s, the culture of power surrounding political decision-making began to decline.Against this backdrop, Arthur Mason examines the struggle by oil companies and federal-state agencies to deliver natural gas from Alaska and Canada’s Mackenzie Valley to markets in midcontinental United States, highlighting regulatory collusion to advance their plans.Mason employs perspectives from anthropology, political science, sociology, and science and technology studies to analyze ethnographic data gathered at the Alaska State Legislature and in the Office of the Alaska Governor in Washington, D.C.The focus is primarily on plans for building an estimated $20 billion 3,500 mile pipeline to transport natural gas from the North American Arctic to midcontinental pipeline infrastructure in the United States.By illuminating key aspects of federal-state political decision-making processes on energy transportation infrastructure, Mason highlights the activities of economists, lawyers, and other regulatory intellectuals whose accumulated work impedes Arctic proposals through a reliance on judgments that no longer reflect the conditions in which large-scale projects are increasingly determined. Written by a leading expert in the field, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy, environmental politics, governance, and regulation and risk.It will also be relevant to industry professionals working in environmental NGOs and government departments in energy and climate forecasting.

What does waning moon mean?
The waning moon refers to the phase of the moon when it is decreasing in size and transitioning from a full moon to a new moon. During this phase, the illuminated portion of the moon visible from Earth gradually decreases each night. It is a time for releasing, letting go, and shedding what no longer serves us, making it a good time for reflection, introspection, and decluttering in preparation for new beginnings.

Do mushrooms grow better during a waning or waxing moon?
There is a common belief that mushrooms grow better during a waxing moon, as this is when the moon is increasing in size and is thought to promote growth and abundance. However, scientific evidence does not support this idea, and the moon's phases are not a significant factor in mushroom growth. Factors such as temperature, humidity, substrate quality, and proper growing conditions are much more important for successful mushroom cultivation.
-
Do mushrooms grow more during the waning or waxing moon?
Mushrooms are known to grow more during the waxing moon phase. This is because the waxing moon phase is associated with increasing light, which stimulates the growth of fungi, including mushrooms. During the waning moon phase, the light decreases, which can slow down the growth of mushrooms. Therefore, if you are looking to cultivate mushrooms, it is best to do so during the waxing moon phase.

Do hair grow thick and strong during the waning moon?
There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that hair grows thicker and stronger during the waning moon. Hair growth is primarily influenced by genetics, overall health, and proper hair care practices. The moon's phases have not been shown to have a direct impact on hair growth. It is important to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and using appropriate hair care products to promote strong and healthy hair growth.

Digital Cultural Heritage
This book provides an overview of various application spheres and supports further innovations needed in information management and in the processes of knowledge generation.The professions, organizations and scientific associations involved are unusually challenged by the complexity of the data situation.Cartography has always been the central field of application for georeferencing digital cultural heritage (DCH) objects.It is particularly important in enabling spatial relation analysis between any number of DCH objects or of their granular details.In addition to the pure geometric aspects, the cognitive relations that lead to knowledge representation and derivation of innovative use processes are also of increasing importance.Further, there is a societal demand for spatial reference and analytics (e.g. the extensive use of cognitive concepts of "map" and "atlas" for a variety of social topics in the media).There is a huge geometrical-logical-cognitive potential for complex, multimedia, digital-cultural-heritage databases and stakeholders expect handling, transmission and processing operations with guaranteed long-term availability for all other stakeholders.In the future, whole areas of digital multimedia databases will need to be processed to further our understanding of historical and cultural contexts.This is an important concern for the information society and presents significant challenges for cartography in all these domains. This book collects innovative technical and scientific work on the entire process of object digitization, including detail extraction, archiving and interoperability of multimedia DCH data.

What does meridians mean and how can I tell if the moon is waxing or waning?
Meridians are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure longitude on the Earth's surface. They help to establish a reference point for navigation and timekeeping. To tell if the moon is waxing or waning, you can look at its shape. When the moon is waxing, it appears to be getting larger each night, going from a crescent to a full moon. When it is waning, it appears to be getting smaller each night, going from a full moon to a crescent.

Is Drachenlord and the Drachengame considered German cultural heritage?
Drachenlord and the Drachengame are not officially recognized as German cultural heritage. While they may have gained a following and become a notable part of internet culture in Germany, they do not hold the same status as traditional cultural elements such as literature, music, or art that are typically associated with being part of a country's cultural heritage. Additionally, the controversial nature of Drachenlord and the Drachengame may make it less likely to be officially recognized as cultural heritage.
