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.

Al-Hajj
Al-Hajj is the 22nd chapter (surah) of the Quran, describing the pilgrimage to Mecca known as the Hajj. This Chinese scroll in ink, watercolour and gold on paper was produced in the second half of the 19th century, contains the full text of the chapter in Arabic, and is now part of the Khalili Collection of Hajj and the Arts of Pilgrimage. Almost five metres (16 feet) in length, the scroll's illustrations include a map entitled "Routes of the Hajj", a view of the Great Wall of China, and views of Mecca and Medina, as well as diagrammatic depictions of the stations of pilgrimage and Jerusalem, including the Kaaba. The illustrations are captioned in Chinese.Calligraphy credit: 'Abdallah; photographed by the Khalili Collections
