# Ehursag

Eḫursag (Sumerian: 𒂍𒄯𒊕) is a Sumerian term meaning "house of the mountains".
Sumerian ÉḪURSAG is written as a special ligature (ÉPAxGÍN 𒂍𒉺𒂅), sometimes etymologized as É.ḪAR.SAG (𒂍𒄯𒊕), written with the signs É "temple" (or "house"), ḪAR "mountain" and SAG "head".
Ehursag is commonly associated with a temple of Enlil discovered by Sir. Charles Leonard Woolley during excavations at Ur in modern-day Iraq. He originally considered this to be a palace, a view that was later rejected in replace for a temple. The location of the royal palace at Ur remains unknown. No graves were discovered under the Ekursag during these excavations. Woolley eventually conceded that it was a "minor temple of some sort." Modern scholars still vary on their interpretations of it as a temple, palace, or administrative building. It has even been suggested to be a wing or annex of the main temple, having had some of its foundations destroyed. Stamped bricks used in the construction of the foundations revealed that they were built by Ur-Nammu of the Third Dynasty of Ur. Bricks from the pavement bore the stamp of his successor, Shulgi and later ones of the Isin-Larsa period after Ur was destroyed by Elamites. Ehursag is also the name or epithet of Ninhursag's temple at Hiza and has been suggested to have been an interchangeable word with Enamtila. The Ehursag at Ur was restored in 1961 using ancient and modern bricks, a 2008 report for the British Museum noted that this had collapsed in some areas, especially the northwest corner.

# RF64

RF64 is a BWF-compatible multichannel audio file format enabling file sizes to exceed 4 GiB. It has been specified by the European Broadcasting Union.
The file format is designed to meet the requirements for multichannel sound in broadcasting and audio archiving. It is based on the Microsoft RIFF/WAVE format and Wave Format Extensible for multichannel parameters. Additions are made to the basic specification to allow for more than 4 GB file sizes when needed (the new maximum filesize is now approximately 16 exabytes). The format is transparent to the BWF and all its supplements and chunks. RF64 WAV files typically use the .wav file extension.
RF64 is the basis for ITU recommendation ITU-R BS.2088, which defines a substantially similar standard, BW64, which replaces binary format metadata chunks with extensible XML metadata. EBU Tech 3306 Version 2 (2018) now recommends the use of BW64 format exclusively, to avoid duplication of standards.

## Capability

RF64 specifies a maximum of 18 surround channels, stereo down mix channel and bit stream signals with non-PCM coded data can also be stored in the file format. RF64 can be used in the entire programme chain from capture to editing and play out and for short or long term archiving of multichannel files.
Due to the inconsistent usage of CUE data definition, the additional requirement that CUE chunk names be stored in an additional LABL chunk, along with the inherent 32-bit limitation of the CUE chunk pointer index, the 2009 RF64 format also defines a new 'r64m' marker chunk.

## Format

In its basic form, the 32-bit chunk size field at offset 4 in the file is set to -1 (0xFFFFFFFF), and immediately following that a new 'ds64' chunk is inserted (before the FMT chunk). This new ds64 chunk will contain the 64-bit sizes of the DATA chunk(s), using a simple sequential table mechanism to point to additional DATA chunks. The first 4 bytes of the file are then changed from 'RIFF' to 'RF64'.
RF64 files define the following extra chunks:
* "RF64" replaces "RIFF" chunk identifier of BWF/WAV formats
* ds64, data size 64, first chunk under RF64
* JUNK, a placeholder for ds64
An RF64 file with a 'bext' chunk becomes an MBWF-file. 'bext' is defined in BWF (ITU-R BS.1352-3).
ITU-R BS.2088, BW64 is mostly compatible with RF64, with the following changes:
* "BW64" replaces "RF64" chunk identifier
* axml, from BWF
* bxml, like "axml" in BWF (ITU-R BS.1352-3), but compressed
* sxml, sound-related XML data
* chna, channel info
* The replacement of bext and ubxt chunks with XML metadata.
# Robert Craig Memorial Bridge

The Robert Craig Memorial Bridge is a four-lane, double-leaf bascule bridge that spans the Maumee River approximately one mile downstream from downtown Toledo, Ohio. The bridge is named in memory of U.S. Army Second Lieutenant Robert Craig, a Scottish-born Toledoan who posthumously received the Medal of Honor during the Second World War.
Opening to traffic during January 1957, the Craig Memorial Bridge was notable as one of the few movable bridges on the Interstate Highway System as it carried Interstate 280 over the Maumee River shipping channel; it remained as such until the June 2007 completion of the Veterans' Glass City Skyway project. Since the re-routing of I-280, the bridge is now a local route—connecting Summit Street (on the west side of the river) to Front Street (on the east side). As such, the Craig Bridge has assumed the local role of its predecessor—an unnamed bridge that connected Ash Street to Consaul Street until its demolition following the opening of the Craig Bridge. Upon completion of the Glass City Skyway, State Route 65 was extended across the Craig Bridge from North Summit Street to Front Street.
