2005-11-28 - NOVUS now on Wikipedia!
Victoria BC - November 28, 2005
Ray Larson - Novus Consulting Inc

Victoria - Thank you to University of Victoria Student Patrick Craib who created a Wikipedia article about the history of NOVUS. You can read the article he wrote by clicking here .

About Wikipedia - Wikipedia  (pronounced as either [?wi?ki'pidi.?] or [?w?ki-], also [-?]) is a multilingual Web-based free-content encyclopedia. It is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing articles to be added or changed by anyone with an internet connection. The project began on January 15, 2001 as a complement to the expert-written Nupedia, and is now operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. The English-language version of Wikipedia currently has more than 835,000 articles. Wikipedia has steadily risen in popularity,[1] and has spawned several sister projects, such as Wiktionary, Wikibooks, and Wikinews. Wikipedia is widely considered as the alternative to commercial encyclopedias.

Articles in the Wikipedia are regularly cited by the mass media and academia, who generally praise it for its free distribution, editing, and diverse range of coverage. Editors are encouraged to uphold a policy of "neutral point of view" under which notable perspectives are summarized without an attempt to determine an objective truth. But Wikipedia's status as a reference work has been controversial. Its open nature allows vandalism, inaccuracy, and opinion. It has also been criticized for systemic bias, preference of consensus to credentials, and a perceived lack of accountability and authority when compared with traditional encyclopedias.

There are about 200 language editions of Wikipedia (about 100 of which are active). Ten editions have more than 50,000 articles each: English, German, French, Japanese, Polish, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish. Its German-language edition has been distributed on compact discs, and many of its other editions are mirrored or have been forked by websites.

2005-09-08 - Cops for Cancer

Ready ¨to 'Rock' 'n' roll
By David Lennam - Oak Bay News
August 31, 2005


OAK BAY It's unlikely Ron Gaudet wants to hear anything like that "no pain, no gain" adage. He's put in a few thousand kilometres of pain and his gain has been... well, let's just say he's pretty much prepared himself for the cycling challenge of a lifetime.
Gaudet, Oak Bay's deputy chief of police, is a rider in this year's Tour de Rock squad that will two-wheel it from one end of Vancouver Island to the other (1,000 kilometres from Port Alice to Victoria) next month as part of the annual Cops for Cancer fundraising drive.
A bit saddle sore, but mentally and physically pumped up from what some might consider a "vicious" training regimen, Gaudet said he's excited about the upcoming adventure.
Oak Bay Police Department's Deputy Chief Ron Gaudet preparing  for Tour de Rock."It's been an awesome experience so far," beamed a lean and toned Gaudet from behind his desk at Oak Bay police headquarters. "It's going great. I'm loving it."
One of 21 riders from various law enforcement agencies tackling the epic journey, the 33-year police veteran said six months of rehearsing for the Tour has given him not only a new respect for distance cyclists, but it has put him and his teammates amongst an elite group who can pound it out, crouched on a hard seat for 13 days in a row.
"We've all seen a huge change in our abilities to ride and that makes it a bit more fun," he pointed out.
Fun, indeed. But the arduous training sessions have not been without their share of spills.
A few months ago, the 54-year-old wasn't so enthusiastic about having volunteered for the cycling marathon. A few mishaps later, the veteran cop uttered perhaps the understatement of the year.
"When one meets the pavement, it's rather harsh," Gaudet said, all too aware of the lingering sting of road rash that most of us forgot about after a childhood of bicycle wipeouts. When your bike is squeezed in the middle of a pack of 15-20 other riders, all traveling at 40 km/h, he explained, there is no room for mistakes.
A momentary lapse of concentration, a glance at another rider perhaps, a relaxing of the hands, a nudge. Look out!
It's just like the crashes you see on television coverage of the Tour de France. One bike goes down and there's a domino effect that piles up a stack of riders all unable to avoid the growing mountain of torn flesh, clogged gears and twisted handlebars.
Gaudet had never worn toe clips before starting his training. For the uninitiated, they're the small metal brackets that racers slip the toes of their shoes into, virtually "locking" them onto the pedals. What it means is learning a new way of riding (or at least stopping).
"I've taken a few falls," joked Gaudet, who recalled riding up to a stoplight, and unable to extract his foot from the clip, keeling over like a felled tree. "It's become automatic now, but then I had to think about it. The consequences are embarrassing."
That wasn't the only new technology Gaudet had to cope with. Before official training for Tour de Rock began in March, Gaudet rode to work one day on a thinner pair of wheels than he was accustomed to. "I'd just got my first road bike, a loaner from Oak Bay Bikes." It was raining, the asphalt was slick and Gaudet, who was used to riding a fat-tired mountain bike, bounced across a set of railway tracks at a weird angle.
The thin tires of his racing bike were uncooperative and Gaudet went down hard. "I got back on the bike and carried on to work. On Esquimalt Road, there was another set of tracks. I hit them and down I went again." By the time he pulled in to the parking lot at work, Gaudet was a mess. "I was hurting big-time. I had a bruise on my right cheek (the one used in the act of sitting) and my whole leg went black right down to my heel." Gaudet had to make a trip to emergency at the Royal Jubilee Hospital where doctors drained his hip of blood and fluid.
That wasn't all.
Riding up the Malahat June 4 with a group of his Tour de Rock peers, Gaudet and three others locked wheels and wiped out on gravel. "My whole left side was all road rash and we still had 30 kilometres to go."
Even without the spills, training has been torturous.
Riders have been on the road together three nights a week. Tuesdays are three hours of climbing hills. Thursdays are flat-out speed (a quick jaunt to Swartz Bay and back). And Sundays are the "long" ride - 150 kilometres (roughly equal to the first leg of the Tour itself).
It's not all fun and games, offered Gaudet with a chuckle.
"In the first month and a half, I don't think a day went by that it wasn't raining," he said, noting that the road bikes they use have no fenders, meaning water is continually squirted at riders' faces from the wheels of the riders in front. "We had a ride out to Sooke. It poured down and we were absolutely soaked. Our shoes and socks were soaked right through. I thought we were going to suffer from hypothermia." While it can be dangerous, cruising along in a pack is essential, not only for the strategic advantage of drafting (basically being pulled along in the slipstream of the rider in front of you), but also for the aesthetic value.
Pulling up to one of the numerous stops along the Tour de Rock route (there are Cops for Cancer events in pretty well every town down the east side of the Island), the riders look better arriving in a pack than strung out single file like lonely tri athletes pedaling for the finish line.
"When we come into an event, we come in together. Riding in a pack looks good."
And it indicates a sense of the solidarity necessary to go to war against cancer. Gaudet said the 18 kilometres he puts on the bike each day riding to work (or training after work) aren't indicative of the real challenge of joining the Tour.
"I'm not sure that we'll ever be able to train for the emotional side," he said.
Each Tour de Rock rider is partnered with a young cancer patient undergoing treatment. They act as honorary riders and their influence is felt with every turn of the bike wheel. Gaudet's "partner" is 12-yearold Avery Cunningham, who was diagnosed six years ago with Hodgkin's disease and subsequently received eight months of chemotherapy followed by further radiation treatments. The disease has been in remission for five years.
"It's very tough for me," revealed Gaudet. "I have difficulty handling that stuff. It's very emotional."
Gaudet has had to deal with the impact of cancer up close. His partner Linda has breast cancer. When she was diagnosed in 2003, Gaudet had his head shaved during a Cops for Cancer event in Oak Bay Village.
He contemplated taking part in the Tour de Rock that year, but knew that his place was at Linda's side at that time. Last year, a knee injury he picked up during a game of squash quashed his plans to join the Tour.
The national partnership between police agencies and the Canadian Cancer Society started in 1994 when an Edmonton police officer shaved his head in solidarity with a young cancer patient. Other colleagues joined in, collected pledges and shaved their heads in support. To date, Cops for Cancer has raised $10 million across Canada.
The first Tour de Rock was in 1998 when 12 riders made the trek. Last year's Tour raised $1.28 million.
According to Gaudet, the grueling pace of training and the looming fear of the tip-to-tip Island ride itself are insignificant.
The bigger picture is about helping kids with cancer not have their lives snuffed out before their teens.
"The aches and scrapes all pale in comparison with what these kids are going through," said the deputy police chief.
The 143 riders who have participated in the Tour de Rock since 1998 all speak about it as being a once-in-a-lifetime experience - one so profound it can alter their perception forever.
Sgt. Ian Craib of the Oak Bay Police took part in the Tour a few years ago. A seasoned bicyclist, Craib had less difficulty negotiating the long stretches of highway than he did the vast array of emotion encountered along the route: from human suffering to the revelry of a community come alive in support of cancer sufferers.
"For me, it was more about getting an understanding of what's involved with people who go through cancer and struggle with it and how it affects all the families," Craib said. "I had no concept of that prior to the ride."
Craib recalled how entire communities embraced the spirit of giving, turning out in force to welcome the Tour de Rock riders.
"In Port Hardy we were on the (First Nations) Reserve and an elder came forward and gave us each eagle feathers. At that point, you break down emotionally. That's when it hit me."
Craib was overwhelmed by the selfless acts of charity he witnessed - whether it was the generous donation of money, friends having their heads shaved in support of those going through chemo, or the pure sense of love that welcomed the riders wherever they stopped. "When I went into (the Tour), I knew it was more than riding a bike. I found out how people can dig deep and give from their hearts. I'd never seen that before when I was living in Vancouver." Craib said many of the Island's tiny communities, which lack the resources and amenities of Victoria, virtually "live" for the Tour de Rock to roll into town.
"They have a different outlook on life. I learned from them. Now, a lot of stuff doesn't matter anymore that did matter before. I found an ability to be forgiving, understanding and compassionate."
Craib explained that it can be awkward for a police officer, representing his or her department, to openly show emotion. "All of a sudden you're crying. 'Am I allowed to do that?' And you think, 'Yeah, I am.' "
"You put a hard-assed policeman into that experience and he'll come out a different person," Craib said.
No wonder riders can only take part in the Tour de Rock once.
Each year a fresh crop of riders cycles the length of the Island. And each year there are more willing bodies than there is room on the ride. This year, 44 cyclists tried out for the 21 positions - all aware of the huge commitment of time and energy (mental and physical) that they would give up.
Gaudet, who will turn 55 when the Rock is rolling, is the oldest member of the Tour team. He's finding it is giving him a new way to look at life - or for life to look at him.
"I've never worn Spandex until now."

Each of the Tour de Rock riders is collecting donations for the Canadian
Cancer Society. As of last week, Gaudet had accumulated $4,300. His goal is to reach
$5,000.


To make a donation, visit the Cops for Cancer website at www.bccancer.bc.ca  or call 1-800-663-7892. Follow the prompts for Vancouver
Island to view team profiles and to sponsor a particular rider.
Gaudet will be having his head shaved again Sept. 17, as part of a
Cops for Cancer event in Oak Bay Village.

2005-07-18 - NOVUS Consulting Inc. recognizes Synetic Inc. for Completing Innovative Data Storage Solution For Town of Esquimalt
Victoria BC - July 18, 2005
By Graham Howe, Synetic Inc.

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada – Synetic Inc., one of Canada's leading data storage hardware distributors and manufacturers, is pleased to announce the successful completion of an innovative data storage solution for the Town of Esquimalt on Vancouver Island BC.

Late in 2004, Esquimalt was faced with the dual challenge of increasing their data storage capacity tenfold and setting up an offsite storage facility in order to meet the disaster recovery requirements of Esquimalt's Emergency Plan. They turned to local technology solutions provider Novus Consulting Inc. who conducted a detailed needs analysis with the Municipality.

"We conducted a detailed review of existing products available in the market from major data storage solutions providers and calculated that Esquimalt were looking at a total spend of around $150,000 to both meet their objectives and to provide a platform for the future," says Ray Larson, Operations Manager for Novus Inc."We did not consider this to be an acceptable cost, given the Municipal budget. We had, however, been working with Synetic Inc. on similar projects for other Municipal clients and, after carefully weighing the options, it was clear that Synetic would be best able to provide the appropriate solution to fit within Esquimalt's budget."

"The timing was perfect for both us and Esquimalt as we had completed two years of development work on our iSCSI product and were ready to launch in the market," says Graham Howe, Sales and Marketing Manager for Synetic Inc. "We knew immediately that we could meet their needs and provide a high quality remote backup solution for less than a third of the price of existing solutions from other providers. This meant that we would save them around $100,000."

Esquimalt now has over 2 terabytes of storage capacity in their main Municipal Hall which is mirrored to their confidential remote back-up location. This gives them a solid platform for their continued growth combined with an offsite facility which will enable the Municipality to function as normal in the event of a disaster at the Municipal Hall.

"It is fair to say that, without this solution, we could not have met our requirements without spending a large amount of taxpayer money," says Brenda Warner, Director of Corporate Services for the Town of Esquimalt. "We were also pleased to be able to work with a local company that has such a high quality global client base. Synetic have certainly delivered a world class solution within our budget"

Esquimalt's town motto is "Always in Front" and it was certainly appropriate in this instance, as they are the first Municipality in BC to adopt an iSCSI solution.

"This is the first of a number of iSCSI implementations which we have underway for Vancouver Island Municipalities," says Howe,"I would estimate that, by the end of 2005, we will have enabled local government, including school districts, to save around $500,000 of taxpayers' money with these solutions. We will now begin the role out of the iSCSI product across Canada, where we already have implementations underway for some of our major enterprise clients."

iSCSI is an Internet Protocol - based storage networking standard for managing and consolidating data storage facilities. The introduction of iSCSI solutions has enabled a new era of low cost offsite backup and disaster recovery planning for small and mid-size companies.

The Synetic iSCSI solution has been designed, developed and integrated by Synetic engineers and their co-partners, making it the first Canadian product in its class. It is currently sold as part of a storage solution implementation from Synetic Inc. but will be available in the fall as a stand alone product, enabling both end users and resellers to implement an iSCSI solution on their existing hardware platform without the additional cost for new hardware.

A trial version is available now: contact www.synetic.net  for details.

About Synetic Inc.

Synetic Inc. is one of the leading Canadian data storage distributors and manufacturers, specializing in high performance, reliable, cost effective hardware and solutions. With exclusive manufacturer agreements and experienced, professional staff, Synetic Inc. support numerous enterprise clients and resellers in over 30 countries around the world. To learn more about Synetic Inc. please go to www.synetic.net 

About the Township of Esquimalt

The Township of Esquimalt is a colourful progressive community located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, only 2 kilometres [1.2 miles] west of downtown Victoria. Esquimalt’s name is derived from a native Indian expression "Es-whoy-malth" which means the place of gradually shoaling water. Today 17,000 people live in Esquimalt’s varied residential neighborhoods and enjoy its many amenities including beautiful parks and beaches, scenic waterfront walkways, and modern recreational facilities, schools, library, archives, and commercial services. http://www.esquimalt.ca/
