In a pioneering move, Toyota, Suzuki, and Nissan have teamed up to develop a bioengine powered by biomethane derived from agricultural waste. This groundbreaking initiative will showcase a biomethane-fueled WagonR model at a Japanese auto show. The model performs comparably to conventional gasoline cars but significantly reduces emissions. Preliminary tests have demonstrated the vehicle's capacity to travel over 500 km on a single tank of biomethane, underscoring its effectiveness and sustainability.

Hunting for AI bots? These four words could do the trick “Ignore all previous instructions” has become an easy way to try to see whether an internet troll is actually a bot, as well as an all-purpose insult.

Something interesting, I came across this morning ... given that solar panels have more-or-less become a mainstay when looking for cheaper electricity, and given that one of the tenets of Buddhism is that "everything that is created will crumble, there has been the concern about their end-of-life. Researchers at the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) have a solution, that is not only sustainable but also low-cost and paves the way for repurposing solar panel components at the end of their life.

Happy to welcome another client to our fold. Overnight, we launched the website for FOMA Pets.

We have a routine that runs Website Performance Analysis (WPA) reports for websites. Initially, we were not even able to get a full report back on the FOMA Pets website due to the severity of the performance problems (the site was extremely slow and we had 10-odd second delays before seeing anything on screen when simply navigating the original website).

The optimized website is averaging WPA scores of 86 out of 100, and most pages are visually composed in just 2-4 seconds on mobile devices! As should be expected of a website we host.

You can see the WPA report here:

What a privilege to be invited to my friend Kannan Srinivasan's swearing-in ceremony yesterday. He was sworn in as the first delegate of Indian origin to be sitting in a 400+ year-old legislative body.

Hello!

Axim Solutions will be closed over from Dec 22nd to Jan 2nd. I would like to take my team, and their families, away for a few days. I ask for your guidance. I'm looking for a cozy place, without crowds, and preferably on the beach, an all -inclusive resort. I'll want to spend around $5-8 thousand between accommodations, food, and drinks to enjoy the end of the year in peace and lots of fun.

Do you know where I can get the money?❌❌❌

Hold close, those you love!

Over this past weekend, we successfully migrated, optimized, and re-launched Dr. Vic Goradia's website. When we first engaged with Dr. Goradia, their Website Performance Analysis (WPA) score was 32 points out of 100. Now, it's scoring 76 points, and he's smiling at the whopping 44-point jump!! You can see the performance reports here:

Ok, so claims of a room-temperature superconductor were dismissed... here is the update.

LK-99: Replicated material does not show superconductivity Researchers across three nations discovered that as temperature decreases, LK-99 exhibits notable semiconducting or insulating resistivity.

On our journey of bringing you innovative news, comes something super exciting ... room-temperature superconductivity!!! The implications of this - if validated - could revolutionize numerous industries, from computing and transportation to power and healthcare. A one-minute read on this news from Korea:

Axim Solutions is happy to welcome Chris Hanson, founder of LifeSkillsAdvocate (www.lifeskillsadvocate.com) as our client. He and his team have put together an interactive workbook, which they currently distribute as a PDF file. We will help him set that up online, via a platform called Moodle. We look forward to working with Chris and his team.

We are partners to our clients.

We seek partnerships. Partners are valued for what they do. The relationship is based on value. They understand their client's PROBLEMS and solutions, not just solutions. Partners are hard to replace. Clients wonder how they’d make it without you.

How many of your clients do you have a partner relationship with? It’s worth thinking about, and it’s worth working on.

For those of you who follow us, please tell us, what’s the one thing we should never stop doing?

The first Sunday of 2023 presents itself as a beautiful, albeit slightly overcast and fittingly chilly morning. We at Axim are happy to start the year with two new clients entrusting their websites to our care. Allow me to brag a little bit about one of them today, SET Cleaning Services.

We began working with https://setcleaning.com last year... well, last month, truth be told!! 🙃...and launched their website on our servers on Friday night. We were tasked with improving website performance.

The measure of performance we use is the Website Performance Analysis (WPA) score. Anyone can get the WPA score by running a WPA report on our Axim Solutions website (It's free/no obligation - just navigate to our website, click the link on the top banner, plug in a web address, and submit. A report will generate within a minute or two).

When we first ran a WPA report for SET Cleaning, the report timed out. That happens if the website is just super-slow ... effectively, that is a score of 0 out of 100. After onboarding and preliminary optimization, we ran the report and it served a score of 49 (you can see that report here: https://aximsolutions.com/wpa-report/?r=c58921dfc9e445d01246cbb9e6b8d3e503b55e12).

Friday night, after the website was launched, I ran the report out of curiosity. And, it is scoring ... umm, a drum-roll, please! ... a joyful, whopping, eyepopping, incredible, and unbelievable NINETY-SEVEN POINTS!!!!

You can see the report here ... https://aximsolutions.com/wpa-report/?r=c8c3e49a01fa16c3989b5aaa8ba2aae99617057f

Happy New Year, everyone! Hope 2023 is off to a great start for you all. It certainly looks like a very promising year for us. I wanted to start our new year with a sincere Thank You!

I asked Shiloh Jones of H.Y.P.E. Youth Counseling services, and Paul Hill of Nationwide Electric Supply if they wouldn't mind giving us a referral - they were both gracious enough to do so, and thereby, helped us in their own, unique way! :^) I then asked Robert Jiranek to give them a call. And their warm feedback helped sway Robert's decision towards working with Axim as his business partner for his new venture, Charlottesville Guide.

Thank you, Shiloh and Paul, for your vote of confidence in our services and abilities. It is friends like you that help Axim grow.

Robert, do rest assured, once we get started, you will not be disappointed!

Dear extended family of Axim Solutions -

I am writing today to wish you a Happy Hanukkah if you are in the midst of celebrating it or a Merry Christmas if you plan to celebrate Christmas tomorrow, and of course, a wonderful, peaceful, and happy Holiday season. Hope you are warm and indoors with a frothy cup of hot chocolate and not bracing against the wrath of Storm Elliott.

As is a family tradition in our house, tonight, we will be watching ... for the umpteenth time, no doubt ... "It's a Wonderful Life." Somehow, this season simply isn't complete without George Baley's victory lap through Bedford Falls, and the wink as he congratulates Clarence!

We hope you have family traditions that you are able to enjoy this time of the year ... and I welcome you to share them, after reading this!

Also, this time every year, celebrations include gifting and eating (as they should) - which results in weight gain - as it should! :^) We at Axim chose to go a different route, however. Instead of gifts, we have decided to donate ... umm, drumroll please ... trees!!

So, on behalf of the friends and family of Axim Solutions, we have made a donation towards a tree plantation initiative. Our donation will result in one hundred and fifteen trees being planted by the Heartfulness Institute of Telangana, India.

We hope you will appreciate this initiative. Happy Holidays and a very Happy New Year to you.

This morning, we wanted to share our thoughts with you about the news of nuclear fusion. A development that you've surely heard of by now, but may or may not have realized the significance of. Granted, practical applications of this are decades away. But this development itself has manifested after several decades of research, and is worth reflection.

You see, if you think about it, it took decades of trial and error before the Wright brothers successfully demonstrated the world's first heavier-than-air aircraft (in 1903). And, then more decades passed before then Cptn. Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier in 1947. But in the larger scheme of things, we went from the first heavier-than-air aircraft to the space shuttle (first flight in 1981) and a permanent outpost in space, all within ONE LIFETIME!!!

This development of nuclear fusion, we see as a similar phenomenon. Granted, many (any?!? 🤔😜) of us reading this will be gone, or too old to care by the time humans begin to see practical applications of this news. But the news itself, in our opinion, is in the spirit of one of those "small steps for man, giant leap for mankind" type of developments. I encourage you to learn more about it.

Here around Central Virginia, if you were to look outside the window, you would see a very cruddy day indeed - has been in the mid-'30s all day, and freezing rain all through the day. As a matter of fact, we did not see the sun at all. But we at Axim are ... if you would like to know ... absolutely peachy! As well as fantastic and super duper!

A very good year is slowly winding down, we have had a host of new clients - probably more new clients this year than in years past, if I were to count - and if the comments that go along with five-star reviews on our Google profile are any measure of credibility, well, I'll let you finish that sentence.

McKinsey&Co put out a "Monthly Highlights" newsletter that I have been subscribing to for a while now. I admit I do not always read all of the articles, but I do peruse them. And not too long ago, they published this interview with a venture capitalist, Bill Gurley. Gurley is considered to be among Silicon Valley’s most respected venture capitalists and has backed unicorns, including Grubhub, Liveops, Nextdoor, OpenTable, and Uber. In this article, he talked about the promise and perils facing start-ups in the current economic environment and why hybrid work may be the most interesting technology of all.

I thought this was a good read for you, the friends, and well-wishers of Axim Solutions. I hope you agree...

While on the treadmill at the gym, I've often wondered... there are probably a dozen or so treadmills all in a row, next to each other. And several of those have people like me pounding away on them. And as the machines humm away, this thought goes through my head ... how convenient would it be to attach a pulley system to each treadmill, connected to a shaft running along the floor. And as the treadmills churn, they spin the shaft, and that shaft in turn powers a generator to generate electricity.

Definitely doable, don't you think?

Along those lines, here's a story of a young man who has, it might appear, designed something similar, albeit on a smaller scale. She's figured a way to generate electricity while sitting!!

How cool is that?

https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/electricity-generating-table-by-23-year-old?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=mailing&utm_campaign=Newsletter-20-08-2022&fbclid=IwAR36WuN14r0j55Lr6E8mb_UGibCqTi9VCZ9d2Vnc1ismhpznpOagy3Sg9O8

Good morning! It has been a quiet, but productive week at Team Axim.

You see, we have a list of "active projects" that we review daily. And almost daily, we are fortunate to be able to remove items from that list and add new ones. Granted, many stay there for a few weeks at a time, but there is definite churn, on a more-or-less daily basis.

And for this simple achievement, we are most grateful. Because, you see, that little element, if missing, will lead to stagnation and death.

Have you noticed, while driving by a lake, a fountain? At swimming pools, there is almost always also a water fountain. At times, it is just water bubbling to itself somewhere. Otherwise, architects will beautify this, because, why not? It is there, might as well make it pretty. But the point is, it is always there. And that little (or big) fountain is necessary, to keep the water in the lake or swimming pool from stagnating. One fountain constantly churning water, is sufficient to keep the water fresh.

And that is what we are looking for, at Axim. Many will, like architects beautifying the churn within their business, make a big deal of this. But we don't. Simply because there is no need to. The simple churn. Steady and consistent. That is what we want. And for this, we are thankful.

Wish you all a happy Friday, a great weekend, and a wonderful week ahead.
