User:Aibarr

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aibarr used to be a structural forensics associate with a major failure analysis firm's branch office in Los Angeles, but she has recently decided that she's not paid enough to deal with intellectual abuse and decided to take a higher-paying, more rewarding job in her home state of Texas, designing hospitals and stadiums and other really awesome structures with a really fantastic firm at their Houston headquarters. She was formerly a civil engineering graduate student at the University of Illinois, her primary function there having been bemoaning the endless expanse of corn fields she'd managed to move to. Yes, she is rather shockingly a female engineer, but sorry guys, she's taken. In fact, she's got a ring and she's getting hitched.

Professionally and academically, Aibarr is a structural engineering associate with research interests in structural failure and seismic retrofit, being the only known expert in the very narrow field of consequence-based retrofit prioritization of Southern Illinois bridge networks. She has additionally written a fairly extensive and comprehensive field guide to weld discontinuities, though nobody actually uses it. Her interests include music in a wide range of genres, insulting thousands of college sports fans at a go, and helping drunken Brits find their lost chickens. You can hear her read the spoken version of macular degeneration.

Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Karachi
Saint Patrick's Cathedral is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi, and is located near the Empress Market in Saddar, a neighbourhood of Karachi, Pakistan. The cathedral was completed in 1881 and can accommodate 1,500 worshippers. It celebrated its centenary in 1978. In December 1998, the interior of the cathedral was partially damaged in a bomb attack that also injured one woman. This photograph of the interior of Saint Patrick's Cathedral, looking towards the high altar, was taken in 2020.Photograph credit: Alexander Savin
