Ewe (Èʋe or Èʋegbe [èβeɡ͡be])[2] is a Niger–Congo language spoken in southeastern Ghana and southern Togo by over three million people.[3] Ewe is part of a cluster of related languages commonly called Gbe; the other major Gbe language is Fon of Benin. Like most African languages, Ewe is tonal.
The German Africanist Diedrich Hermann Westermann published many dictionaries and grammars of Ewe and several other Gbe languages. Other linguists who have worked on Ewe and closely related languages include Gilbert Ansre (tone, syntax), Herbert Stahlke (morphology, tone), Nick Clements (tone, syntax), Roberto Pazzi (anthropology, lexicography), Felix K. Ameka (semantics, cognitive linguistics), Alan Stewart Duthie (semantics, phonetics), Hounkpati B. Capo (phonology, phonetics), Enoch Aboh (syntax), and Chris Collins (syntax).
Oral history tells of a migration of the Gbe people from Ketu in present-day Benin. It is believed that the Ewes settled first at Notsie in Togo and then moved to southeastern Ghana due to the cruelty of Togbe Agorkoli.
Some of the commonly named Ewe ('Vhe') dialects are Aŋlɔ, Tɔwun, Awlan, Gbín, Pecí, Kpándo, Vhlin, Hó, Avɛ́no, Vo, Kpelen, Vɛ́, Dayin, Agu, Fodome, Wancé, Wací, Adángbe (Capo).
Ethnologue 16 considers Waci, Kpesi (Kpessi), and Wudu to be distinct enough to be considered separate languages. They form a dialect continuum with Ewe and Gen (Mina), which share a mutual intelligibility level of 85%;[4] the Ewe varieties Gbin, Ho, Kpelen, Kpesi, and Vhlin might be considered a third cluster of Western Gbe dialects between Ewe and Gen, though Kpesi is as close or closer to the Waci and Vo dialects which remain in Ewe in that scenario. Waci intervenes geographically between Ewe proper and Gen; Wudu is further north, on the northern edge of Aja territory, and Kpesi forms a Gbe island in the Kabye area.

H is a voiced fricative which has been described as uvular, [ʁ], pharyngeal, [ʕ], or glottal [ɦ].
The nasal consonants [m, n, ɲ, ŋ] are not distinctive, as they only appear before nasal vowels. Ewe is therefore sometimes said to have no nasal consonants. However, it is more economical to argue that nasal /m, n, ɲ, ŋ/ are the underlying form, and are denasalized before oral vowels. (See vowels below.)
[ɣ] occurs before unrounded (non-back) vowels and [w] before rounded (back) vowels.
Ewe is one of the few languages known to contrast [f] vs. [ɸ] and [v] vs. [β]. The f and v are stronger than in most languages, [f͈] and [v͈], with the upper lip noticeably raised, and thus more distinctive from the rather weak [ɸ] and [β].[5]
/l/ may occur in consonant clusters. It becomes [ɾ] (or [ɾ̃] after coronals.
Front | Back | |
Close | i, ĩ | u, ũ |
Close-mid | e, ẽ | o, õ |
Open-mid | ɛ, ɛ̃ | ɔ, ɔ̃ |
Open | a, ã |
The tilde (~) marks nasal vowels, though the Peki dialect lacks /õ/. Many varieties of Ewe lack one or another of the front mid vowels, and some varieties in Ghana have the additional vowels /ə/ and /ə̃/.
Ewe does not have a nasal–oral contrast in consonants. It does, however, have a syllabic nasal, which varies as [m n ŋ], depending on the following consonant, and which carries tone. Some authors treat this as a vowel, with the odd result that Ewe would have more nasal than oral vowels, and one of these vowels has no set place of articulation. If it is taken to be a consonant, then there would be the odd result of a single nasal consonant which could not appear before vowels. If nasal consonants are taken to underlie [b ɖ ɡ], however, then there is no such odd restriction; the only difference from other consonants being that only nasal stops may be syllabic, a common pattern cross-linguistically.
Ewe is a tonal language. In a tonal language, pitch differences are used to distinguish one word from another. For example, in Ewe the following three words differ only in their tones:
- tó 'mountain' (High tone)
- tǒ 'mortar' (Rising tone)
- tò 'buffalo' (Low tone)
Phonetically, there are three tone registers, High, Mid, and Low, and three rising and falling contour tones. However, in most Ewe dialects only two registers are distinctive, High and Mid. These are depressed in nouns after voiced obstruents: High becomes Mid (or Rising), and Mid becomes Low. Mid is also realized as Low at the end of a phrase or utterance, as in the example 'buffalo' above.
The Ewe language uses phrases of overt politeness, such as "Please" and Thank you." A common, friendly greeting extended to an individual of a European descent is "White person."[citation needed]
Writing system[edit]
The African Reference Alphabet is used when Ewe is represented orthographically, so the written version is a bit like a combination of the Latin alphabet and the International Phonetic Alphabet.
A a | B b | D d | Ɖ ɖ | Dz dz | E e | Ɛ ɛ | F f | Ƒ ƒ | G g | Gb gb | Ɣ ɣ |
/a/ | /b/ | /d/ | /ɖ/ | /d͡z/ | /e/, /ə/ | /ɛ/ | /f/ | /ɸ/ | /ɡ/ | /ɡ͡b/ | /ɣ/ |

/l/ | /s/ | /t/ | /t͡s/ | /u/ | /v/ | /β/ | /w/ | /x/ | /j/ | /z/ |
An n is placed after vowels to mark nasalization. Tone is generally unmarked, except in some common cases which require disambiguation, e.g. the first person plural pronoun mí 'we' is marked high to distinguish it from the second person plural mi 'you', and the second person singular pronoun wò 'you' is marked low to distinguish it from the third person plural pronoun wó 'they/them'
- ekpɔ wò [ɛ́k͡pɔ̀ wɔ̀] — 'he saw you'
- ekpɔ wo [ɛ́k͡pɔ̀ wɔ́] — 'he saw them'

Ewe is a subject–verb–object language.[6] The possessive precedes the head noun.[7] Adjectives, numerals, demonstratives and relative clauses follow the head noun. Ewe also has postpositions rather than prepositions.[8]
Ewe is well known as a language having logophoric pronouns. Such pronouns are used to refer to the source of a reported statement or thought in indirect discourse, and can disambiguate sentences that are ambiguous in most other languages. The following examples illustrate:
- Kofi be e-dzo 'Kofi said he left' (he ≠ Kofi)
- Kofi be yè-dzo 'Kofi said he left' (he = Kofi)
In the second sentence, yè is the logophoric pronoun.
Ewe also has a rich system of serial verb constructions.

All Mizar32s ship with the DFU Bootloader and eLua interpreter programmed in the Flash memory.
Lua is a simple, elegant and modern scripting language with powerful features, small enought to be embeddable.
eLua stand for embedded Lua, that is a complete Lua with enhancements and extensions for the embedded world.
To gain The full control of your platform, It offer a set of hardware driver modules:
adc, pio, pwm, spi, tmr, uart, i2c and a TCP/IP networking, without an OS between your programs and your hardware, which only a bare-metal application can give you.
eLua rapidly translate your ideas into reality by tapping into the power of Lua right on your embedded devices.
eLua is free and open-source software. The MIT licence (the same as Lua's) allows you to use eLua in your commercial and private-code products as well. Nothing to ask, no royalties to pay, just tell you're using it.
Yes, eLua project is hosted at www.eluaproject.net, you can also visit the well done wiki page.
What do I need to install to start using eLua?
With eLua you don't need to install a specific development environment on the PC side, such as Eclipse, Netbeans, Code Composer Studio, MPLAB X or AVRStudio.
You will only need a serial or ethernet console/terminal emulator. You can also use any text editor, save your programs in SDCard and use them directly in your platforms.
Is Lua fast? It is interpreted or compiled?
Lua is one of the fastest intrpreted scripting languages.
Lua is different from C, C# or Java, it's more an interactive System, like Python or Perl.
Using an interactive system is a great way to both learn new hardware and to debug.
You can interactively test, look at the results, try something, check out the new results, and so on.
With eLua, will I reduce my coding time?
Yes, with eLua you can make Products with low Time to Market.
You can drastically reduce your programming and maintenance Time, focusing on the actual implementation of your program without to worry about accessing peripherals at low-level reducing overrall project complexity. Prototype and experiment on a Rapid Aplication Develop model.
Who is the language aimed at?
eLua is aimed to both for casual user & average programmers
Both can benefict of an on-chip development environment.
Imagine a Field engineers that can go to their customer site and debug a module on site.
Or a beginner that start to write programs in minutes without a toolchain install.
Embedded developers can use all the potential of a meta-language mechanisms for complex code algorithms and data description. Lua also offers good support for object-oriented programming, functional programming
Lua is a minimalistic language (yet incredibly powerful!) which is quite easy to learn. Once you understand the basic concepts you'll find yourself writing Lua programs in notime. The main resource is the Lua homepage. In the documentation page you'll find the reference manual and the first version of the excellent "Programming in Lua" book. We recommend purchasing the second version of this book, since it's likely that this is all you'll ever need to learn Lua. Another very good resource is the Lua wiki. If you need more help, check the community page. Lua has a very friendly and active community. Most of all, Lua is FUN to learn and use
Is there any example code I can see?
There is any code example i can see?
What Programmers says about eLua?
Roberto Ierusalimschy, Lua chief architect
"In 1998, Cameron Laird predicted: "the imminent explosion of ubiquitous embedded processing (computers in your car, in your plumbing, and in your kitchen appliances) can only work in favor of Lua." eLua is a great help in spreading Lua to these devices."
Tim Michals, Cygentron Inc."eLua is a great development platform for micro-controllers "
Nuccio Raciti, Mizar32 project developer
"eLua makes the complex world of 32-bit processors easy and affordable for all. Thanks for your great work guys. "
Dean Hall, embedded systems developer
"eLua takes a rock-solid VM and fits it in a small space. It lets you program microcontrollers with an easy-to-learn, high-level language. I see this programming model and the eLua project itself really gaining momentum."
Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo, Lua Team member
"Very early on in the development of Lua we started using the question 'But will it work in a microwave oven?' as a half-serious test for including features while avoiding bloat. I'm glad to see that the eLua project promises to deliver Lua to small devices that can make a difference."

Tom Felton might not have been interrupted by Mark Wahlberg during his MTV Movie Awards acceptance speech for Best Villain this year, but that doesn't make receiving the award any less special for him.
"Thank you very much, it's always exciting to be here," he said in his acceptance speech. "This is very cool. This will look very nice in my downstairs toilet."
When MTV News caught up with Felton backstage after his second straight win, he clarified that his downstairs toilet actually is a pretty important location in his home.
"It's kind of a prized place in my house, the downstairs toilet," Felton deadpanned. "Consider it an honor."
Though he technically came back to defend the Best Villain title for "Harry Potter," he said the real reason is because he hadn't yet seen any of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" yet and wanted to catch the sneak peek at the MTV Movie Awards.
"That's half the reason I'm here," he said with a laugh.
Since Felton hasn't seen any of the footage yet, he couldn't tease how "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" would look in 3-D, but he did say it's something he's anticipating.
"I'm very excited," he said. "I'm not sure if that's going to add or subtract to my screen presence."

United States Senator
September 16, 2003
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy
Ranking Member, Senate Judiciary Committee
"Examining the Importance of the H-1 Visa to the American Economy"
September 16, 2003
When the Congress last considered the H-1 visa program in 2000, the United States was in the midst of an extraordinary economic boom. At that time, we authorized a substantial increase in the number of visas under this program, which allows highly skilled foreign workers to come to the United States on a temporary basis. In a few weeks' time the increases we authorized will end, and we will go from allowing 195,000 H-1B visas annually to allowing 65,000. Given the weakness of our current economy, and the rising unemployment we have experienced under President Bush's stewardship, many who supported the increase in 2000 now believe that 65,000 visas are sufficient. I have not yet heard compelling reasons to increase the cap above 65,000, but I look forward to reviewing the testimony of today's witnesses before making any final conclusions on that issue.
Although members may disagree about how many visas should be available, I hope that we can all agree to extend and even strengthen the protections for American workers that are included in the law and which are also slated to expire at the end of the current fiscal year. For example, under current law employers whose workforce includes a substantial percentage of H-1B visa holders must attest that they have not and will not displace an American worker within a 180-day period surrounding the visa petition. We should extend that provision, and consider applying it to all employers, not just so-called "H-1B dependent" ones. Similarly, the Department of Labor's authority to initiate fraud investigations also expires at the end of this month and that, too, should be extended.
In addition, we increased the fee paid by employers petitioning for H-1B visas from $500 to $1000 in 2000 in order to better fund worker training programs. The fee will revert to $500 at the end of this fiscal year absent Congressional action. We need to act to retain the current fee as soon as possible. I know that the H-1B fees make a difference to training programs in my state of Vermont and around the nation. They also preserve the idea behind this program - that the long-term solution to shortages in workers with specialized skills is to educate the American workforce. I understand that John Steadman, the president-elect of IEEE, will offer suggestions to improve our training programs on behalf of America's engineers, and we should take his advice into account as we review the H-1B program.
Finally, I am curious whether our witnesses today support the "carve-out" of 7,000 H-1B visas for nationals of Chile and Singapore, which was included in the legislation Congress passed in July to implement our Free Trade Agreements ("FTAs") with those nations. Statistics released this month by the Department of Homeland Security indicate that neither Chile nor Singapore have been among even the 20 most frequent users of the H-1B program, and yet we are now devoting more than 10 percent of the available visas to those two nations. This is an example of the misguided policies we will have if the Administration continues to include immigration provisions in the FTA's it negotiates. I have joined Senator Feinstein and many others on both sides of the aisle in opposing their inclusion, and I urge the Administration to make the agreements with Chile and Singapore the last FTAs that contain immigration provisions.

New York Chinese Scholar's Garden
The New York Chinese Scholar's Garden was first conceived in 1984. After years of careful study, deliberation, and relationship cultivation, the NYCSG construction began in April of 1997. The Staten Island Botanical Garden collaborated with many partners; including, the National Endowment for the Arts, local foundations, the State and City of New York, individual and corporate donors, and the Chinese community to turn this idea into a reality.
Since the garden was to be modeled after a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) scholar's garden in Suzhou, it was only appropriate that The Staten Island Botanical Garden worked with the Suzhou branch of the Landscape Architecture Company of China. The Chief Project Designer was Mr. Zou Gongwu, who has been acknowledged as a leading scholar in classic garden design.
The designs, architectural details, and landscape choices of Mr. Zou Gongwu are reminiscent of the Lingering Garden (Liu Yuan) located in Suzhou. However, the NYCSG also contains elements seen in most Chinese Scholar's Gardens.
The classical Chinese Scholar's Garden reflects the harmony and balance of the yin and yang through the use of four elements: rocks, water, plantings, and architecture.
Rocks are often referred to as the "bones of the earth" in Chinese literature and poetry. The rocks placed in the NYCSG may represent a mountain, potentially a sacred mountain.
Reminiscent of human arteries, water flows throughout the Chinese Scholar's Garden constantly reviving and rejuvenating the garden.
All of the plants, trees, shrubs, and flowers were carefully selected either because of their color, shape, or seasonal attributes. All year round, there are plants blooming in the NYCSG, allowing the garden to maintain its relevance season to season.
The New York Chinese Scholar's Garden was built using traditional Chinese construction techniques. In addition, all of the architectural elements reflect the classical Ming period in Chinese architecture.

Seed Information Database (SID)
SID is a compilation of seed biological trait data from the MSBP's own collections and research studies, and from other published and unpublished sources. Its primary purpose is as an internal source of a variety of seed biological information; for use in ± large scale analysis and decision support for seed conservation operations.
In addition, and importantly, having gathered the data, we share it with users worldwide via the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew's external website and ePIC, with logged web searches and downloads as an indicator of usage (
The main functional traits or characters of interest are concerned with seed desiccation tolerance, longevity, germination and dormancy; together with physical (e.g. mass) and chemical (e.g. oil content), morphological (including high quality images) and some ecological data, such as dispersal mode and parent plant life-form.
The treatment of seed morphology and anatomy is based on standardised descriptions of seed morphology for selected species from MSB Project collections, including high quality digital images of several standard views. At present, species selection for coverage is based on taxonomy, i.e. Kew and MSB special interest groups (e.g. Rubiaceae, Arecaceae, Fabaceae), and seed biology functional groups (e.g. underdeveloped embryos at dispersal).
Comparative analyses seek broad, predictive relations with a range of physical, chemical, structural and ecological variables, and associated hypothesis generation. Where appropriate, correlations are analysed against the background of the phylogenetic classification of seed plants.
The Seed Information Database, as well as being a vital internal resource, is delivered free to external scientists via the web. This has led to a number of collaborations with researchers in other institutes, which have led to significant publications; and large elements of the data-set are also shared with two functional trait consortia, '
' and '
Recent enhancements include two online tools, based on the data held in SID - seed viability calculations and UK Native Species Toolbox; and we collaborate with Sussex University (Prof Tim Flowers) to host their halophyte database (eHALOPH) via SID. An on-line data submission tool for external contributors to SID is at an advanced stage of development; and future plans include further tools for specific user-groups, and integration with Kew's other Science and Horticulture Systems, as part of the organisation's IT and Digital Media Strategy.

I saw a post about cases but not too many reviews. Since the screen is glass I want to get a good phone case with a nice screen protector. Suggestions?
I saw a post about cases but not too many reviews. Since the screen is glass I want to get a good phone case with a nice screen protector. Suggestions?
I went with the Skinomi bundle...will post update
I have the Otterbox. No complaints, it's deluxe and makes it feel like a tank (in a good way).
OK, one complaint - you can't appreciate the curves of the Nexus.
I'm assuming with the Otterbox that the Nexus won't fit into the car dock or the media dock. Is that true?
My set up is a diztronic case, with a SGP Steinheil screen protector. I honestly forget the screen protector is there. I don't notice my fingerprints or anything on it when I use it.
I just ordered the 1.49mm thin Incipio feather case in black and a spare one in gray. Each comes w/a screen protector.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
This is the case I purchased. Great Case! No need to alter the case in any way, it fits like a glove. I really like how it's a hard case with a soft feel. All corners and the back are protected by a hard shell, but where you hold the phone is a soft rubber/gel. Very good feel with peace of mind that if you happen to drop the phone it will be protected. Recommend!
Ooopps, I didn't get the feather case. I got the one in the picture in the post above. Wrong quote selected. It looks like the feather is a bit different than the hard/soft combo.

Thanks, I might try the Incipio. I can't stand cases that are too thick which is why I was hoping the Skinomi skin would work out.
Question, from the website it doesn't look like the top and bottom of the phone are protected, is that correct?

notice from Apple and Ravensburger
I got today hit with a mail from apple that my app is infringing with Ravensbuger "memory" rights. Our game is titled memory++ and was running since last 2 years. We have removed it from the German app store following a post few months ago. But today the email from apple included the following countries were Armenia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil,Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Equador, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, Latvia,Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and Venezuela. They are telling me to remove my app from all these countries or they will delete my app everywhere if I don't comply in 5 days !!!! Someone please help what I can do ?? |

If it infringes, then I'm afraid your only course of action is to remove/ rename it. Apple are very fussy about this, and I'd hazard a guess that the DEV of the other application has made a formal complaint.
If you can rename it you should be okay, I'd talk to Apples development section.
..That's All Folks

You should remove it, and attempt to contact Apple or Ravensburger to determine the source/reason behind the complaint.

How do you rename an app in 5 days? It takes me 10-12 days just to get my app reviewed.
They've been around for longer than 2 years. Last edited by samdev; Nov 12, 2012 at 01:08 AM. |

This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Some nice text
I don't create music for the fame or glory. For people to think of me as amazing, or as a great singer. There's a message, or a certain emotion that I want to express. When the listener understands it, my job is done.

Though she's created an empire with her Naturally Thin diet books and exercise DVD, Bethenny Frankel admits she wasn't always so health conscious.
"I used to get drunk and binge on everything in the deli, and then do a juice fast or starve, then do it all over again," the 40-year-old "Bethenny Getting Married" star tells the January issue of Redbook (on newsstands Dec. 21).
But when the natural foods chef learned she was pregnant with her daughter Bryn in 2009, Frankel was determined to not overeat "out of emotion."
"Most people treat pregnancy like the big binge, and then they can't take the excess weight off so they go on a crash diet," the Bravo star explains. "When people find out you're pregnant, they're like, 'Oh, my God, you're going to gain all this weight, and you're going to get hemorrhoids, and you're not going to be able to go to the bathroom.' I didn't listen to anyone; I knew I was going to do it my way."
After giving birth on May 8 (and rocking a size 4 swimsuit for Us Weekly three weeks later), Frankel credits her "Body by Bethenny" yoga DVD for helping her shed the 35 pounds she gained while pregnant.
"I do it two to three times a week," she says. "I do yoga at night with my husband [Jason Hoppy] after we put the baby down. I say, a family that namastes together, stays together."
Indeed. With her family-focused Bravo show green-lighted for a second season, Frankel is happy her "Real Housewives of New York City" days are behind her.
"I'm completely done with women being rewarded for bad behavior," she says of her former castmates. "I don't bite the hand that feeds me, and I'm very grateful to Bravo, but thank God I got out of that alive. It was fun the first season. Then it got not fun, and then it got scary and unhealthy and disgusting."

NEW YORK, Jan. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ECigarettesMarketplace.com, quickly becoming a trusted source for electronic cigarette ratings and information, has recently given the title of "Best Tasting Menthol E-Cigarette" to Clearette for their brand of menthol e-cigs. Offering an exclusive range of e-cig reviews from unbiased sources, ECigarettesMarketPlace.com rates each product by performance, quality, technical advances, price and features.
Other menthol e-cigs like Blu and NJoy that were polled by users of ECigarettesMarketplace.com were found to be harsher, had a "funny chemical after-taste", and were drying to the throat. As per our review of the Clearette E-Cig product line, we found they come in six different flavors or strengths, ranging from Traditional, Bold, Light, Menthol, Menthol Bold, and Zero (no nicotine). Clearette users have stated that their E-Hookah line "floods the palate with intense taste" with flavors ranging from Fruit Mix, Green Apple, Mango, Grape, and Strawberry.
Clearette fell short in brand awareness, being relatively new to the national marketplace and not having the corporate backing that companies like Blu enjoy from Lorillard. With battery life and taste being the highest weighted factor for consumer repurchases, Clearette led the polls where it counts.
