Vale's Plushies

A drawing of three plushies Vale keeps in his room. From the left: the alien Qaim, the dragon Gene, and the Vylupe Zack. The latter was a commissioned plush.

They've been a source of comfort for Vale, who lives alone in his new house. Vale treats them like companions, reflecting personalities on the three as though they were friends he could have conversations with. Qaim is curious about the world he's in, unknowing of what dangers may be out there. Gene is timid and unconfident, often needing reassurance that everything will be fine. And then there's Zack, who likes to pick on the others, acting tougher than he actually is.

Vale doesn't place a lot of faith in real people, so his plush friends suffice. Or at least he's convinced himself that they'll suffice.

Q-AIM: Open Source Infrastructure for Quantum Computing

Q-AIM Quantum Access Infrastructure Management

Open-source Q-AIM for  quantum computing infrastructure, management, and access.

The open-source, vendor-independent platform Q-AIM (Quantum Access Infrastructure Management) makes quantum computing hardware easier to buy, meeting this critical demand. It aims to ease quantum hardware procurement and use.

Important Q-AIM aspects discussed in the article:

Design and Execution Q-AIM may be installed on cloud servers and personal devices in a portable and scalable manner due to its dockerized micro-service design. This design prioritises portability, personalisation, and resource efficiency. Reduced memory footprint facilitates seamless scalability, making Q-AIM ideal for smaller server instances at cheaper cost. Dockerization bundles software for consistent performance across contexts.

Technology Q-AIM's powerful software design uses Docker and Kubernetes for containerisation and orchestration for scalability and resource control. Google Cloud and Kubernetes can automatically launch, scale, and manage containerised apps. Simple Node.js, Angular, and Nginx interfaces enable quantum gadget interaction. Version control systems like Git simplify code maintenance and collaboration. Container monitoring systems like Cadvisor monitor resource usage to ensure peak performance.

Benefits, Function Research teams can reduce technical duplication and operational costs with Q-AIM. It streamlines complex interactions and provides a common interface for communicating with the hardware infrastructure regardless of quantum computing system. The system reduces the operational burden of maintaining and integrating quantum hardware resources by merging access and administration, allowing researchers to focus on scientific discovery.

Priorities for Application and Research The Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm is studied to demonstrate how Q-AIM simplifies hardware access for complex quantum calculations. In quantum chemistry and materials research, VQE is an essential quantum computation algorithm that approximates a molecule or material's ground state energy. Q-AIM researchers can focus on algorithm development rather than hardware integration.

Other Features QASM, a human-readable quantum circuit description language, was parsed by researchers. This simplifies algorithm translation into hardware executable instructions and quantum circuit manipulation. The project also understands that quantum computing errors are common and invests in scalable error mitigation measures to ensure accuracy and reliability. Per Google Cloud computing instance prices, the methodology considers cloud deployment costs to maximise cost-effectiveness and affect design decisions.

Q-AIM helps research teams and universities buy, run, and scale quantum computing resources, accelerating progress. Future research should improve resource allocation, job scheduling, and framework interoperability with more quantum hardware.

To conclude

The majority of the publications cover quantum computing, with a focus on Q-AIM (Quantum Access Infrastructure Management), an open-source software framework for managing and accessing quantum hardware. Q-AIM uses a dockerized micro-service architecture for scalable and portable deployment to reduce researcher costs and complexity.

Quantum algorithms like Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) are highlighted, but the sources also address quantum machine learning, the quantum internet, and other topics. A unified and adaptable software architecture is needed to fully use quantum technology, according to the study.

Reason Why We Should Rise Upon Hearing the Title "Qa'im" For Imam Mahdi a.s.

One of the duties of the lovers and devotees of Imam al-Mahdi (a.s.) is that whenever they remember him or hear his name, they should show respect by rising from their place.Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) was asked, “Why should we rise when we hear the name ‘Qa’im’?” He replied, “The Imam will have a long occultation, and this title is a reminder of his rightful government and an expression of…

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 🚀💥 🚨

SCENES FROM U.S. STRIKES LAUNCHED AGAINST IRGC TARGETS IN IRAQ AND SYRIA

📹 Footage from missile strikes launched by the United States Armed Forces against IRGC-backed militias in Iraq and Syria.

After the landing of a barrage of missiles, misfires can be seen crashing to the ground after hitting an ammunition depot in Al-Qaim and causing several explosions which burn near the bottom of the scene.

The United States says it targeted IRGC Quds Forces and allies in response to the recent deaths of three U.S. service members in a drone strike by Resistance forces in the west of Iraq which targeted Tower-22, an illegal U.S. outpost on the border of Jordan and Syria which overlooks the refugees of American-sponsored wars.

Qaim

An alien creature named Qaim (pronounced like "kime"). Contemplated this creature one day, and on one morning where I wasn't feeling too good I did my best to put Qaim in some visible form.

I'm still figuring out some particulars about him, but this is a start.

*ISRAEL REALTIME* - "Connecting the World to Israel in Realtime"

🔹No rockets from Gaza yesterday.

▪️Wall Street Journal: Israel informed the US of its intention to establish a buffer zone one kilometer deep in the Gaza Strip.

▪️Shiite militias of Iraq (Iran supported and weapon supplied) state they have shut down Israel’s Haifa and Ashdod ports via suicide drone attack.  “The Islamic resistance in Iraq began the second phase of the naval blockade of the Zionist entity, which includes: a naval blockade in the Mediterranean Sea and the shutdown of its seaports. The siege on it will continue until the blockade of Gaza is lifted and the massacres in the Gaza Strip stop.”  This is called believing your own propaganda and assuming that your enemy failing to report on it is enemy lies.

▪️Flood alert:  Normal Negev and Dead Sea sites for seasonal rain flow are flooding or expected to flood and must be avoided.  Hiking and nature trips should be suspended.  The National Center for Flood Prediction: a flow has been detected down Nahal Ergot, it is expected to reach Highway 90 soon.

▪️The compound and neighborhood where 21 soldiers fell was destroyed yesterday afternoon.

🔶 GAZA-HAMAS Front 

▪️Heavy fighting continues in Khan Yunis, including airstrikes on enemy terror squads.

▪️Enemy action reports: Violent bombardment in various parts of the Gaza Strip now. Israeli aircraft bombed a group of people (fighters - but we report they were children) on the shore of the sea near Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.  Heavy concentration of IDF forces southwest of Gaza City.  IDF tanks firing at buildings next to Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, south Gaza.

▪️Gaza Now reports that somehow, nobody knows why (sarcasm), the HUNDREDS of trucks of food aid entering Gaza and sent to north Gaza keep not arriving or arriving mostly empty.  Where is the aid going?

🔶 RED SEA-Houthis Front 

▪️The Pentagon:  Since the 11th of this month, we have destroyed 25 missile launch facilities and more than 20 missiles, drones and radars in Yemen.

▪️Due to the Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, the German shipping company Hapag Lloyd announced the launch of an overland corridor from the shores of the Persian Gulf in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to the Red Sea - bypasses the "Houthi problem" and also significantly shortens shipping time - truck shipping the containers across Saudi Arabia and loading them on ships in the northern Red Sea closer to the Suez Canal.

🔶 REGIONAL War 

▪️Iraq:  A wave of American attacks in southwestern Iraq and on the way to Qaim (against Iranian backed Shiite militias that have been attacking US bases).  The area under attack is Jarp al-Nasr, an area that was taken over by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (yes, Iran operating in Iraq).  Iraqi Hezbollah battalions were also attacked.  American planes carried out 5 airstrikes.

🔶 JUDEA-SAMARIA Front 

▪️The village of Urif: our forces blew up the house of the terrorist who carried out the deadly shooting attack near the settlement of Eli on June 20 of last year.

Video From The Mahdi Has Appeared

[uroldhomie]

As i was scrolling through some old pictures i saw one particular picture where i just confessed that tumhary hi hony sy aabad hai dil , tum na hogy tou werana hoga.

But i guess , there is at least some peace in veerana .the longing , the ache is still there. but ab woh aarzo bhi kahan? woh dil bhi kahan jo aik waqt par youn hashar khara kar deta tha? As i said someday earlier , houn to ab bhi wafa par qaim magar woh dil bhi ab Kahan sy laon ju tum par mara karta tha!
