Since leaving university in 1998, with a medical degree, I've had the wonderful opportunity to "play the field" within my knowledge base. The majority of my working life was spent within the Malaysian Ministry of Health hospitals as a practicing doctor in various departments. Opportunities within clinical research, the pharmaceutical industry and finally the medical communications industry came knocking and, taking the chance on these have allowed for rich experiences and personal growth.
Medical knowledge (trained medical doctor).
Experiences from the perspectives of the practicing healthcare professional from government and private primary healthcare sectors, medico-marketing aspect of the pharmaceutical and nutritional industries and a medical writer.
The ability to manage multiple projects at different stages of development efficiently and in a timely manner.
Working independently or in a team.

The next generation of comprehensive, natural nutrition is here.
After nearly two decades of intensive research and studies, we are excited to present our family of highly-targeted, supplement-ready phytonutrient blends to the world.
Wellness made possible by tomatoes.
Our proprietary tomato extract is the foundation of each of our blends. We then standardize the levels of nutrients within to directly target a specific concern. All of our non-GMO ingredients, from slow-release genistein to tocopherols, come straight from the earth and are GRAS for food and beverage use.
All individual ingredients and the resulting final blends have been tested to ensure safety and efficacy. Our work includes epidemiological studies and meta-analyses to survey trends, in-vitro assays to determine mechanism of action, and pre-clinical and clinical human trials to ensure efficacy and safety.
Convenience is always top of mind for us. All Lycored Nutrient Complex products are available as ready-for-use supplements or as mixable formulations via our Lycored Nutrient Complex Program co-marketing initiative.
Put some heart into it.
We believe in always going the extra mile so you can, too. The results are award-winning products like Cardiomato™ and Lycoderm™.
*Lycoderm also played a key role in our award-winning Letters of Love campaign, where participants were encouraged to #rethinkbeautiful by challenging the typical definition of beauty, changing the way we see ourselves, and upgrading our approach to skincare.
In lycopene, you've found a carotenoid that will keep up with you on every step of the journey.
The Lycored Nutrient Complex family is a work in progress—check back for new products, studies, and exciting findings.
Our whole-food extract is standardized with powerful phytonutrients including lycopene, a carotenoid with the unique ability to protect lutein as it makes its way to the eye.
A key antioxidant that is concentrated in the macula, this carotenoid filters out blue light and works to protect cells and tissues within the eye from oxidative damage.
When combined with lutein, this antioxidant helps increase the density of pigment within the macula while also protecting the retina from UV light and oxidative stress.
Sourced from rosemary leaves, this phytonutrient helps maintain a strong antioxidant defence while successfully penetrating the blood/brain barrier.
Both of these trace minerals have been shown to support healthy vision and were included in the AREDS and AREDS2 studies.
Vitamin E in this particular form has been shown to promote eye health.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are arguably the most studied ingredients in eye-care products, but they can't do all the hard work on their own. Our blend of eye-grade tomato extract, tocopherols, and trace minerals is formulated to support these critical carotenoids. For example, the lycopene within the extract helps to protect and guide the lutein to the eye where it is then able to filter out blue light and ward off harmful free radicals with the help of equally antioxidative carnosic acid. In fact, studies suggest that this particular combination of nutrients is able to interfere with key molecular processes responsible for the production of proinflammatory mediators and cytokines in stimulated macrophages.

Our whole-food extract contains five potent phytonutrients that have been optimized at levels to encourage healthy prostate function. This formula includes our standardized, bioavailable lycopene.
This mineral has been found in high concentrations in healthy prostate tissue.
Our standardized complex of turmeric-derived curcumin and its demethoxy derivatives has been shown to support prostate health. It's also highly synergistic with our standardized lycopene for even greater support.
Piperine is known to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin.
These EPA and DHA essential fatty acids are known to have a protective effect on prostate cells.
Our vitamin blend includes a healthy mix of tocopherols, including D-alpha, gamma, and delta.
A six-month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on men with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) measured PSA levels (a baseline marker for determining the risk of prostate-related conditions) and prostate gland size. Over the course of six months, men taking a lycopene supplement experienced a reduction in prostate gland size.

Our blend of carotenoids, trace minerals, vitamins, and black pepper was specifically formulated to target and address key issues middle-aged men face with urinary function and overall prostate health. Over the years, a number of studies have indicated that there is a direct correlation between tomato-derived lycopene and prostate wellness. One such trial showed that men taking a lycopene supplement experienced a reduction in prostate gland size over the course of six months.1 Additionally, research suggests that curcumin and lycopene together activate Nrf2 gene transcription, a marker for prostate health.
We're planting the seeds of innovation. See how our methodologies set us up for success.

Hinds CC to rename buildings to recognize distinguished current, former employees
August 21, 2014 Cathy Hayden 0
Hinds Community College will rename three buildings on the Utica and Vicksburg-Warren Campuses this fall in honor of three distinguished current and former college employees.
The Utica Campus will rename two buildings at 2 p.m. Thursday Sept. 25. The Fine Arts Building on the Utica Campus will be renamed the Dr. Bobby G. Cooper Fine Arts Center, after the chairman of the Humanities Division and coordinator of music and art. He is best known as the director of the renowned Jubilee Singers.
The building that housed the band for Hinds Agricultural High School on the Utica Campus will be renamed the Louis Edward Leon Lee Building after the former band instructor and director.
The Multi-Purpose Building at the Vicksburg-Warren Campus will be renamed the Joseph L. Loviza Building at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 30, after the former Vicksburg Campus dean and Hinds Community College Foundation member.
Dr. Bobby G. Cooper, a native of Bolton, has provided service and leadership to the Utica Campus and the Utica community for more than four decades. Best known as the director of the Jubilee Singers, Cooper is credited with re-establishing the preeminence of the historical African-American spiritual vocal group that traces its roots to the 1920s.
Among his many recognitions are the five-time Academic Instructor of the Year award, Distinguished Academic Instructor, Life Star Award, Hinds Hero, Hinds Humanities Teacher Award, the Distinguished Alumni Award, and the 3E Award (Emphasis on Excellence and Enrichment)—the highest award given by the college. He has also been honored by the Mississippi Legislature as an outstanding faculty member with the Higher Education Appreciation Day-Working for Academic Excellence Instructor (HEADWAE).
Louis Edward Leon Lee, a native of Hazlehurst, began his tenure at Utica Institute in 1953, immediately after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in music at the Jackson College for Negro Teachers (now Jackson State University). He was a member of the Jackson College band and Omega Psi Phi Fraternity. His career spanned 39 years as the music teacher and band director at Hinds Agricultural High School. Other than a brief sabbatical to serve his country in the U.S. Army, Lee served Hinds Agricultural High School, the Utica Campus and the entire Utica community well until his retirement in 1992.
Joe Loviza is a 1960 graduate of Hinds Community College and was the first employee of the Vicksburg-Warren Campus, serving for 20 years. Loviza began his career with the Vicksburg Warren School System as Director of Vocational, Technical and Adult Education. When the college began providing secondary vo-tech training in 1973, Loviza was employed to serve as the director, and later, dean, of the center. The center expanded to offer post-secondary classes and in 2002 was officially named the Vicksburg-Warren Campus.
Loviza served as Mayor of the City of Vicksburg, 1993-97. After his retirement, he continued to support the city by serving on numerous boards and committees, including the Vicksburg Warren School District Board. Loviza remains a loyal supporter of the college, working within the Alumni Association and as a contributor to the Hinds Community College Foundation.

The Evolution of Climbing Walls & Challenge Courses
By Chris Gelbach
Climbing walls and challenge courses have popped up in a growing array of recreational facilities as managers seek to elevate their programming with more adventurous offerings. "Twenty years ago, a lot of climbing gyms were being built. Now, a lot of climbing walls are being built in multipurpose facilities like municipal parks and rec, K-12, and college and university settings—that seems to be a fast-growing segment of the market," said Bill Zimmermann, chief executive officer of the Climbing Wall Association (CWA).
Likewise, challenge courses are also expanding into new facilities and attracting new clientele. "The number of programs and facilities worldwide are increasing," said Michelle Hepler, board chair of the Association for Challenge Course Technology (ACCT) and assistant parks and recreation director for Iredell County Parks and Recreation in North Carolina. These courses are often broken into low elements constructed on the ground or a few feet above it, and high elements built 25 to 50 feet in the air in trees or on utility poles with participants wearing a belay for safety. Challenge courses have traditionally been popular with groups such as service organizations, corporate groups and sports teams as personal development and teambuilding activities. But Hepler notes that she has seen the kinds of groups interested in her Iredell County challenge course diversify over time. And the courses have been further propelled into the mainstream by the adaptation of traditional challenge course elements to aerial adventure parks and canopy and zip line tours, which have skyrocketed in popularity.
For those facilities interested in adding a climbing wall, challenge course or zip line, the task has grown significantly easier thanks to an ever-widening array of new products and providers. "Twenty years ago, you had to be an entrepreneur and somewhat of a visionary to start one of these facilities," said Zimmermann. "Some of the early practitioners were gluing rocks onto plywood panels because there weren't even any modular handholds available. Now there are a dozen handhold companies, at least. There are half a dozen major design firms, business consultants who will help you with raising capital and your business plan, and even software companies specifically for climbing gym management. It's so much easier today."
The Need for Expertise
Climbing walls and challenge courses come in a growing variety of sizes, materials and designs, making them feasible for a wide variety of facilities and budgets. But they remain demanding in terms of the expertise they require of managers and staff to be run safely. Budgeting for a wall or course should therefore account not only for the structure itself, consumables like rope and periodic inspections, but also for definitive ongoing training for employees.
"What I see in multipurpose rec and K-12 is that the people running the climbing facility tend to be underexperienced and undertrained," said Zimmermann. "They'll spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a climbing wall, but won't spend a few thousand a year on training."
Since the CWA has rolled out its certification program, Zimmermann has seen that the people who don't pass the course tend to be people who are responsible for a climbing facility, but aren't climbers or interested in becoming climbers. "That's kind of a conundrum," he said. "You have to be willing to develop a level of expertise and knowledge of the sport to be able to run a climbing facility. If a facility doesn't have that person or those people, they need to find them and hire them."
This specialized expertise is needed not just for safety, but also for operational success. For instance, a climbing wall is unlikely to keep patrons engaged if its staff is unable to grade climbs accurately and set and refresh the facility's climbing routes regularly to meet the interests and skill levels of its climbers.
General commercial liability insurance policies typically cover climbing wall and challenge course operations, but Zimmermann noted that you should confirm this with your carrier. "A climbing wall is innocuous compared to some of the stuff multiuse facilities are already involved in, and they don't even realize it," he said. But while the frequency of incidents on climbing walls and challenge courses is very low, the consequences of one can be high. The legal protection these facilities have is provided by the doctrine of inherent risk—meaning that it's important that all participants demonstrate that they are voluntarily and willingly participating because they want to and they choose to do so despite the risks. In the challenge course world, this concept is often referred to as challenge by choice.
"A big piece that people tend to neglect, particularly in a multipurpose rec setting, is to have your attorney come to the facility and get an intro lesson or at least an orientation to the climbing wall," said Zimmermann. "Then hand him the participation agreement and have him go back and rewrite it considering what he's just seen regarding the inherent risks associated with climbing." The resulting document, sometimes called a hold harmless form, should be discussed with and signed by every participant.
