  Ewe language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ewe is part of a cluster of related languages commonly called Gbe, stretching from eastern Ghana to Western Nigeria.
Ewe is one of the better documented languages of Africa, partly due to the massive work of Diedrich Hermann Westermann, who published many dictionaries and grammars of Ewe and several other Gbe languages.
Ewe is written in the African reference alphabet, the Latin alphabet, with some extra letters, some of which are derived from the International Phonetic Alphabet, added to represent certain sounds.

 Domestic sheep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sheep breeders refer to female sheep as ewes, intact males as rams, castrated males as wethers, yearlings as hoggets, and younger sheep as lambs.
For example, Merino ewes providing wool may be crossed with Suffolk rams to produce lambs which are robust and suitable for the meat market.
Ewes' milk is used in the production of cheese and yogurt in many upland parts of the world.

 EWE AG
In the reporting period, EWE purchased large volumes of energy to hedge against the upward trend in wholesale energy costs and thus be in a position to maintain its standard rates at their current level for some time to come.
EWE will continue to use all avenues available to maintain its position as a provider of competitively-priced energy, as an innovative multi-service business group, and as a regionally-based organization that is committed to proactively meeting its economic and social responsibilities.

 Starting or Expanding Your Sheep Flock
Actually, death loss at 4% per year, with ewes valued at $100 a head, costs you $2,440 over a 6-year period or about 30% of the total difference between what you initially paid for the ewes and the amount that must be written off as depreciation.
Obviously, an 8-year-old solid-mouth ewe has less chance of producing for 2 or 3 years than a 6-year-old solid-mouth ewe; yet the condition of their teeth may be similar.
Irrespective of the ewes' age or nutrient intake during the year, there is good evidence that vast differences exist in the ewes' genetic potential to wean a high percentage of lambs (Finn cross vs. Hampshire or Columbia).

 MAR | Data | Assessment for Ewe in Togo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Future relations between the Ewe and Kabre are not likely to improve without great effort on the part of the government to foster greater tolerance in the society and to promote equality between the groups in the political sphere.
In 2000 a leader of one of the Ewe sponsored opposition groups was arrested, which was not the first time this had happened to the same leader.
The Ewe also receive support from separatist groups in Ghana (SEPX = 3) and they rely on groups such as Amnesty International to report government repression that is committed against them, that due to the restrictions on the press would otherwise not be reported.

 Strategies for Feeding the Ewe Flock
Moving hungry ewes with their lambs through gates without injuring the lambs is the major problem in feeding multiple groups of ewes per day in the same feed bunks or on alternate days and should not be attempted.
If a ewe needed the same kind and amount of feed every day it would be easy to devise a feeding system, feed bunks, and ration to accommodate her.
Conversely, thin ewes carrying one or two lambs that gain only 5 or 10 pounds during gestation actually would be much thinner at lambing time, very apt to produce lightweight lambs and far less milk, and might not be strong enough to respond to adequate feed post-lambing.

 Development of Replacement Ewe Lambs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Ewe lambs should be in production by the time they are 12 to 14 months of age, as ewes that lamb first as yearlings rather than two year-olds have higher lifetime production.
Ewe lambs should be targeted to reach 70% of their mature weight at breeding.
Ewe lambs born earlier in the lambing season generally are more desirable as replacements as they are larger and older at breeding.

 Sheep @ Purdue University : Wintering the Ewe Flock   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Ewes in early gestation can be fed lower quality hay than when their feti are undergoing rapid growth during late gestation.
Ewes should not be overfed during late gestation, as they will get fat at the expense of your bank account.
Certainly, pasture quality, age of the ewe and number of lambs suckled may require that spring lambing ewes receive a grain or concentrate supplement while on pasture.

 Sheep Diseases
If ewes have not been vaccinated and an abortion outbreak occurs, feeding 250–400 mg tetracycline (Aureomycin or Terramycin) per ewe daily for 30 days usually is an effective preventive measure.
Palpate udders in the fall and cull ewes with indications of scar tissue.
To correct it, clean the protruding tissue, elevate the rear quarters of the ewe, and reinsert the tissue.

 Sheep on Shares
Ewe depreciation should be included in place of replacement ewe costs (more on this later).
In this example flock, the three hours of labor required per ewe on an annual basis was priced at $8 per hour, management charge was calculated at 5 percent of gross income, and the charge for equity capital was valued at 8 percent of fair market value of assets.
This suggests that an equitable share agreement would be one where the ewe owner receives 15 percent of the lamb and wool income, plus all the cull ewe income and all the cull ram income.

 MAR | Data | Assessment for Ewe in Ghana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Since a member of the Ewe is no longer the leader of Ghana, the group is no longer the politically advantaged in this sense, and the repercussions of this state of affairs are currently unknown.
Ethnicity is extremely important in Ghana, and the Ewe enjoy the advantages they have due to the ethnicity of the former leader of the country, Jerry Rawlings (he is half Ewe).
As the politically advantaged group in the country, the Ewe appear to be willing to work within the political process to have their individual demands addressed via whichever party they feel can accomplish this.

 Strip-Weaving Traditions: the Ewe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The Ewe weave cloth similar to that of the Ashanti, but because cloth production was not under royal control, weavers had more opportunities for innovation.
The history of weaving among the Ewe is obscure, but it is known that they have been weaving in bulk and trading cloth beyond their borders for several centuries.
The Ewe continue to use all kinds of strip-woven cloth for festivals, holidays, and rites of passage such as puberty and marriage celebrations.

 Telsis Case Study - EWE TEL uses Telsis to deliver value added services
German utility company EWE - an established supplier of electricity to millions of homes, businesses and public-sector offices all over the northwestern region of the country - has used the strategy to startling effect.
Of these, EWE TEL classifies 28,000 as business - but they actually span the spectrum of private and public sector endeavour from commercial organisations such as banks, right through to hospitals and local government.
It was a significant factor in the healthy balance sheet that enabled EWE TEL to expand by acquisition with the purchase of neighbouring telco NordCOM.

 Sheep @ Purdue: Feeding Ewes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The goals of the breeding season are to get ewes settled in as few of cycles as possible, minimize the number of open ewes, have ewes ovulate multiple eggs and have a low incidence of embryonic mortality.
A common method of flushing is to feed ewes one-half to one pound of a grain (corn, milo, oats) per day for about 30 days before turning in the rams and continuing for about two weeks after ram introduction.
Nutrition in late gestation is also influenced by weather conditions and the housing status of the ewes, fleece length, the number of lambs the ewes are gestating, and the body condition of the ewes.

 DXing.info :: EWE Antenna
The EWE resembles a simple vertical antenna system consisting of directive element and a grounded reflector, it's behavior however is completely different.
Due to the fact that my EWE antennas first of all are bound for DXing on the tropical bands I determined the amount of the terminating resistor - half empirically, half theoretically and intuitively - on 820 Ohms.
The EWE does not only reduce a part of the electrical noises, but beyond that it also suppresses all those reception impairments, which are due to rear stations.

 Introduction to Ewe "kente" Cloth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Although the Ewe (pronounced "Ev-ay") are not as well known outside Ghana as the Asante they also weave many of the cloths known worldwide as kente.
Ewe weavers utilise an almost identical form of the narrow-strip loom to that of the Asante, and there is considerable evidence to suggest mutual influence between the weavers of the two traditions, as might be expected from the long history of contacts, both through trade and conquest between their peoples.
Ewe weavers also produced more simple but still striking cloths using just indigo blue and white stripes and checks, perhaps the legacy of older weaving styles practised before they came into contact with the Asante.

 Mastitis
Mastitis is defined as an inflammation of the mammary gland or udder of the ewe.
Ewes should be fed in bunks rather than on the ground.
Ewes with udders that show obvious signs of acute or chronic mastitis should be separated from the flock and treated with antibiotics.

Subdivisions of the Ewe include the Anglo (Anlo), Bey (Be), and Gen on the coast, and the Peki, Ho, Kpando, Tori, and Ave in the interior.
The rise of Ewe nationalism in both Ghana and Togo was more of a reaction to the May 1956 plebiscite that partitioned Eweland between the Gold Coast and Togo than to any sense of overriding ethnic unity.
