Go to www.youtube.com Historian Basil Davidson looks at the nation that lay to the south of Egypt and from where Egypt sprang. Called "Ethiopia" (a Greek word which means "burnt face") in most English translations of the scriptures, Cush/Nubia was a mighty kingdom which had it's captial first at Napata, and then at Meroe (pronounced "Mero-Way") in modern-day Sudan. Davidson gives many examples of the greatness of Cush and informs us of the Cushite dynasty that led Kemet/Egypt for a hundred years.

Produced & directed by Chris Brown Director of Photography Gustav Schmiege In the time-honored tradition of husband duos (think Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth) providing the creative core and identity of a band, Burette and Gabrielle Douglas bring a sound and musical vision all their own to The Cush. After fronting Buck Jones, a Dallas/Fort Worth-based noise pop band from 1993 to 2000, the Douglases decided it was time for a major change. Armed with wanderlust, big dreams, a batch of handcrafted psych-pop suites, and vintage tape delays and keyboards, The Cush relocated to the farthest reaches of Burlington, Vermont to release their self-titled debut album. The inspirational change of location and new musical direction proved fruitful for The Cush, and in 2006 they released their eagerly anticipated follow up album, New Appreciation for Sunshine on Undertow Records. After a year of recording and touring between Vermont and Texas, 2010 found the band returning to its Lone Star roots with a move back to Fort Worth. "Just like the move to Vermont was heartfelt and very clear, it was the same thing with moving back to TX," Gabrielle says. "Oh—this is what we're supposed to be doing now." In April of '10 The Cush released its third self-recorded album, Between the Leaves. "I think our 'space <b>...</b>

A cush drive is a part of a motorcycle drive-train that is designed to reduce stress from engine torque damaging other components during gear or throttle changes. A common design used by almost all street motorcycles, it has three major pieces: the wheel, the sprocket assembly, and the rubber damper. The wheel and the sprocket assembly fit together with five sections much like two hands woven together. In between the contact of the two assembly are rubber blocks. This makes it so the wheel and the sprocket have a dampening layer between them, and the rubber blocks reduce wear and fatigue of the metal assemblies. When the rubber damper becomes old and hardens, or wears out, the changes in load on the drive chain instigated by changes in throttle position or changing gear can cause small inconsistencies with power delivery to the wheel. Loads particularly on the drive chain can be massively increased in these conditions, increasing the risk of breakage or of contact with the swinging arm resulting in damage. Perhaps more pointedly the sudden transfer of force to the rear tyre can cause momentary loss of traction (lock or spin) resulting in small changes of direction or at worst total loss of control.

Composition
There are eight clearly valid groups of languages which are or have been included in the Cushitic family, and there is a wide range of opinions as to how they are interrelated.The Beja language, or North Cushitic, is sometimes placed outside Cushitic proper, though there is no evidence that the rest of Cushitic forms a valid group.
The positions of the small Dullay languages and Yaaku are uncertain. These have traditionally been assigned to an East Cushitic branch along with Highland (Sidamic) and Lowland East Cushitic. However, Richard Hayward believes East Cushitic may not be a valid node and breaks it into three well-supported families: Highlands, a diverse Lowlands family (with Afar, Somalic, and Oromic branches), and Dullay (he apparently leaves Yaaku unclassified), which he believes should be considered separately when attempting to work out the internal relationships of Cushitic.
Hetzron (1980:70ff) and Ehret (1995) have suggested that the Rift languages (South Cushitic) are a part of Lowland East Cushitic.
Cushitic was traditionally seen as also including the Omotic languages, then called West Cushitic. However, this view has largely been abandoned, primarily due to the work of Harold C. Fleming (1974) and M. Lionel Bender (1975). These scholars consider Omotic to be an independent branch of Afroasiatic. While some scholars including Zaborski (1986) and Lamberti (1991) have kept the issue alive and suggested that Omotic can still be classified as part of Cushitic, Rolf Theil (2006), in keeping with the noted Chadicist Paul Newman, excludes Omotic from Afroasiatic altogether.
