Staff is very friendly. They answered all the questions I had. Easy to make appointments with flexible hours on different days. Dr.Andrews is very thorough with the exams & testing. What I like most is that she explains the conditions in terms that help you understand what is, or may, happen and what we can do to treat it. She doesn't just give you medical terms, she makes it easy to understand. Been seeing her for many years & have no plans to change!

Choosing a new eye care facility took me some time. I heard good things about warrior eye care. When I called to make an appointment, the lady that answered the phone was very polite and answered all my questions. The day of my appointment, I was nervous. Everyone at warrior eye care are very courteous and nice. My experience was very good. I will return soon. Thank you all for making me feel at home.

Jan 21, 2017
From the minute you walk through the door of Warrior Eye Care, you can feel the friendliness. Whether it be from the warm, "Good morning... how are you today?" or the care taken in the thorough examination or the help finding the frames that are just right for you! They understand that everyone is not rich and do everything possible to get you the glasses you look great in for a price you can afford. This is not my first time buying glasses from Warrior Eye Care, and I'm sure it won't be my last. This place is awesome!
Jan 15, 2017

Warrior Eye Care generally takes good care of me, but I have to have regular glasses and safety glasses and I'm going to have to start looking at making some changes to the options I choose on my glasses and shopping the cost around because it's really expensive even with insurance.
Apr 8, 2016
Impressed with the high technology of equipment used in the office. Especially, the method used to take pictures of the eye. I hope your office become a model for other to follow.

I've used Vision Source for 10 years. Dr. Andrews stays up to date on the latest diagnosis techniques and treatments. The equipment is always state-of-the-art and I get a more thorough eye exam than I could get anywhere else. Dr. Andrews is friendly, takes time with her patients, and explains things clearly. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I have been going to Dr. Andrews a number of years now, on the recommendation of a work friend. The write-up for Dr. Andrews is NOT hype. If anything, it doesn't speak completely of her ability as an eye doctor. My most recent visit was in early August 2015. The new machine that takes the images of the eye, providing a much more in depth view of your eyes, but doesn't require either a dilation drops, and annoyance which also requires me to have my wife drive me back for safety reasons, or the intense bright light used to examine the eye, which to me was painful. She keeps up with the latest procedures, innovations and the like. The staff is most capable, professional yet makes you feel at home. One final note. Dr. Andrews was able to resolve two eye problems of mine, both of which no other doctor could resolve. She listed both time, I mean REALLY listened, and resolved the problem. I am fortunate to have found her.
Sep 1, 2015
Great experience as a new patient
Aug 26, 2015
I love Dr. Andrews and her staff. They are so thorough and so caring. The Dr. shows me the photographs taken and compares them to the ones taken on my previous visit. She explains what everything means. I feel like I'm getting the best care available anywhere.
Aug 22, 2015
My first visit was excellent and I will return.
Aug 17, 2015
Dr. Andrews and staff are the best! I am impressed and reassured my eyes have the latest state-of-the-art equipment and knowledge used on them. This keeps my sight sharp as it can be.
Aug 15, 2015
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Doctor was super sweet and made me feel comfortable.
Aug 12, 2015
My appointment was great. I had little to no wait time and the new machine they used allowed for a complete eye exam without any dilation. I was very pleased with Warrior Eye Care staff and equipment.
Aug 3, 2015
Dr. Andrews and her staff are all very professional but you feel like one of the family!

Jul 30, 2015
Staff is always friendly. Never a long wait. Dr. Andrews is very competent and nice.
Jul 29, 2015
Dr, Dudley was thorough, nice, and friendly; and I felt confident she was giving me the same care and attention I would have received from Dr. Andrews (who I think is Great!). I tell everyone they should be going to Warrior Eyecare. Dr. Dudley was concerned about an area and referred me to Retina Consultants of Alabama who said it was indeed a tear on the retina and performed laser surgery to seal the tear. I'm so glad Dr. Andrews stays on top of all the latest technology and innovations to keep my eyes safe. This sounds like a paid advertisement, but I promise it's not - just the praise of someone who appreciates them.
Jul 23, 2015
You couldn't ask for a better group of people! Truly professional and they go above and beyond to explain procedures and make you feel welcome and comfortable. Dr Faye is the best and so up on the lastest technology. I look forward to my next visit. Just a great place!
Jul 23, 2015
Efficient and caring. Took time to be sure everything was good with a new lense set-up even though several visits were required because I crossed up lenses.
Jul 17, 2015

I was so pleased with the amount of attention and time given to my daughter. Reid, our technician, was so patient with my daughter. Dr. Andrews was just what Virginia needed to help her cooperate and have a good visit. Melanie, our glasses assistant, was wonderful. Your front desk personnel were warm and friendly. We will definitely continue to use Warrior Eye Care for our eye needs. Thanks for taking such good care of us.

Great experience as always. Sarah was very kind and professional and helped lead me through every step of the way. Great employee.

I had an overall great experience getting my eyes checked-of all things!!!!
Jan 16, 2015
Always very helpful and friendly
Jan 16, 2015
the only problem I found is they do not sync their website appointments with their office computer. If they are going to use the website for appointments they should monitor it better.
Jan 15, 2015

Jan 3, 2015
Dr. Andrews and her staff are wonderful. They make you feel comfortable. They show compassion and provide friendly services.
Jan 3, 2015
Everyone was curtious and did their best to make my experience enjoyable. However, being a long time patient of Dr. Andrews, I would have appreciated knowing that I would be seen by a doctor who did not know me. I would have rescheduled my appointment for a time when I would have been seen by Dr. Andrews. I like walking in and knowing she's going to call me by my first name and ask about my in-laws, kids, and grands. I did not like being called Miss Cheryl or having to go over things that Faye already knows. I say good for you for cutting your work load down to 4 days. You've work hard and it's time to enjoy life.
Jan 3, 2015
Enjoyed meeting Dr. and staff. Highly recommend.

My kids love going to the eye doctor they always have fun and the staff is amazing with kids along with the doctor!
Jul 3, 2014
The text reminder is very helpful. The lady at the front desk is very friendly and made me feel important.
Jul 3, 2014
Outstanding service.
Jul 2, 2014
I'm still waiting on someone to call with the results of my test.
Jul 1, 2014
fast and efficient.
Jun 26, 2014
The staff spent time helping me learn how to put in my contacts, and the wait time was short to get in
Jun 25, 2014
As usual, it was a great experience. The staff are professional & friendly and there isn't anyone better than Dr. Andrews. If I had any type of complaint it would be the eye drops for dilation burned more than I remember from previous years but other than - no problems.
Jun 16, 2014
Friendly, helpful, courteous, knowlegeable associates are definitely a plus when visiting a doctor's office. Warrior Eye Care has that. Dr. Andrews is a very smart and talented doctor. I appreciate the time she takes with me to explain what is going on with my eyes and tells me what to do to improve my eye health.
Jun 13, 2014
Everyone was very nice and I feel truly had my best interest in mind. I asked opinions of a couple of the staff when picking my frames and I think they gave me honest answers about how they look! For sure will return and hope others will go to Warrior Eye Care!
Jun 11, 2014
Great Service. Ordered contact lenses on Friday morning and received a call on Monday that they were in and available for pick up.
Jun 10, 2014
My experience was great.....I will continue to be a patient at Warrior Eye Care.
Jun 5, 2014
everyone has been professional but also very friendly -kind-
May 29, 2014
I did not have to wait. I was seen at my appointment time. The exam was extensive and completed quickly. Dr. Andrews reviewed the findings during the session and counseled me what I needed to do to ensure continued good vision.
May 24, 2014
Everyone working in this office are very caring and professional. They take time to explain all procedures and even put up with the teasing of some clients that pester! Recommend this office and Dr. Andrews to all in need of eye care. Thank you for such a good experience.
May 24, 2014
The person working the front desk was welcoming, helpful and professional. The tech who got me started was friendly and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what he was doing and what the purpose of each test was. Dr. Andrews was very professional. What impressed me most was her confidence and unique knowledge and experience. She took the time to explain things in terms a non-medical person can understand. The only negative experience during my visit was in the optical department. Initially the person who waited on me was friendly and helpful. Her goal s seemed to be to sell me the most expensive package I would agree to. It almost seemed like I had to negotiate my way down to product and price I could afford. That portion of my experience felt similar to visiting a car dealership.
May 24, 2014
Excellent care
May 21, 2014
Great! I recommend Warrior Eye Care, Dr. Andrews and all the crew were so nice. They are proffessional, knowledgeable, effecient and just good common people. They make you feel comfortable and the atmosphere is so relaxing. We are blessed to have them in our area.
May 12, 2014
The doctor and staff are very courteous and I will continue to be a patient here. Highly recommended!!
Apr 28, 2014
I have used Warrior Eye Care Vision source for many years. The care and courtesy of the staff and Dr. Andrews is awesome! I feel like I get the best eye exam ever at this facility. They have business hours that allow me to come after work which is a plus for me. They are a wonderful group and I would recommend them "in a heartbeat".
Apr 23, 2014
We are very pleased with the service. We have tried a few eye doctors over the course of a couple of years and I think we finally found a keeper.
Apr 23, 2014
Excellent, caring, and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Andrews genuinely cares about her patients. Staff very caring and friendly.
Apr 18, 2014
Very Impressed. Gained a New Patient.
Apr 17, 2014
Very professional. Courteous people . Nice atmosphere.
Apr 9, 2014
My experience with warrior eye care was one the best vision care experiences that I have ever had. All staff were very polite and personable with a high degree of knowledge in their field with an outstanding willingness to truly help me not just seek me glasses and add on stuff that I don't need. Thanks you all for a job well done
Mar 27, 2014
I enjoyed my experience at Warrior Eye Care immensely! The professionalism and thoroughness of the staff was exquisite. They took an adequate amount of time to fulfill my needs and even went beyond the necessary requirements to verify my coverage to insure that I received the best possible price. Also, technology that Warrior Eye Care has only increased my satisfaction and my comfort level. Besides all this, the customer interaction left me feeling like I was part of the family. They were not pushy and they all have wonderful personalities. I appreciated every moment of my visit and I look forward to the next. Thanks y'all! :)
Mar 24, 2014
Very professional and kind.
Mar 23, 2014
Excellent experience. Everyone was very professional and provided great service.
Mar 22, 2014
My visit to Warrior Eye Care as a "drop-in" patient with a problem was a superb experience from the time I walk in until I left. The staff was extremely nice and in a good mood, and the great atmosphere and mood was contagious. Dr. Andrews was caring, knowledgeable and very professional in her diagnosis and treatment. We are fortunate to have Dr. Andrews and her staff to take care of our vision and other eye related needs. Brooks
Mar 22, 2014
Really impressed with the time and care taken with my 9 year old grand-son.
Mar 22, 2014
Actually I was in to pickup a pair of glass's for my daughter and I interested in buying a pair of Costa Del mar for myself. When this woman that was working the area where you get fitted for glasses just up and about said would please go over to the waiting area I'm with someone. Honestly I think she could have been just a little nicer since I was thinking about spending 250.00.
Mar 21, 2014
thank you the visit was great the doctor and the nurses were so nice to Mackenzie they treated her very well as if it was me doing I would recommend this place is anybody listening a child to go get glasses or even an adult.
Mar 13, 2014
My first choice in eyecare.
Mar 8, 2014
They were very nice and helpful .
Mar 8, 2014
Dr. Andrews is one of the best at what she does. She is thorough, skilled & has a great bedside manner.
Mar 8, 2014
I woke up with Conjunctivitis and even though I had never been to Dr. Andrews, her staff had me sitting in front of her in two hours. Everyone was pleasant, knowledgable and efficient. She was very busy that day, and I know it was probably a bit inconvenient to work me in...but she did! I Had drops for infection and pain before lunch. Awesome!
Mar 6, 2014
I will give a 10 on everything. Wonderful employees. They take real good care of you.
Mar 5, 2014
Excellent visit.
Mar 3, 2014

Love warrior eyecare and dr andrews! The staff is great!!
Feb 26, 2014
I'm on a very tight budget. My son was sick last year and the bills piled up. A few days ago I started shopping around for eye care. When I called Warrior, I gave the person my insurance information and was quoted a certain price for my co-pays and extras for contacts and progressive lenses with frames. I did take notes while on the phone. I brought my written notes with me. Both the doctor and the technician treated me professionally and with respect. After my exams and being processed, I found out the cost was almost $100 dollars more than my quote. I had originally thought I would be paying under $200 dollars for everything and then it was $294. when I presented my notes, the girl made me feel as if I was lying. and seemed very terse while speaking to me. I didn't make it up and pled my case, and although I was upset, I kept it inside when I paid with my credit card and left. The sweet technician offered to remove my corneal exam from the bill and I wish I had accepted. I can't afford the contact lenses and I am returning the samples I was given. Bottom line is, while being on a tight budget, I shopped and could have gone anywhere. I chose Warrior based on professional care but mainly for economic reasons. I was very disappointed with the resulting price and although there was obviously some misunderstanding, I was treated rudely.
Feb 20, 2014
I was so impressed with how friendly ALL the staff were! It was my 3 year old daughter's first time to see an eye doctor and I expected the worst...... she went back without me and did amazing thanks to the sweet girl who did her exam. Very happy with our new eye doctor. :)
Feb 19, 2014
Fast, efficient, and very friendly service!
Feb 13, 2014
Dr Andrews and her staff have always gave my family excellent care. She always tells you exactly what's going on with your eyes and what she's going to do and tells the patient what they need to do. I've been going to her for around 20 years, and haven't changed.
Feb 5, 2014
Great experience everyone always professional and very nice
Feb 4, 2014
It was great. Thanks

Great staff and office atmosphere. Dr and assitants were very knowledgeable of my individual circumstances.
Dec 5, 2013
Dr. Andrews and the technicans are very professional and courteous. They remind you of your appointments in several different ways and when you arrive there is not a long time to wait before you are seen. They also explain things clearly so that you can understand.
Nov 24, 2013
Posted once before that I was super impressed with the level of customer care and professional expertise and didn't think it could get better - it did yesterday as the ladies and Dr. Andrews disrupted their routine and schedule to take care of me. Really understand customer service and professional care - great job and thanks.
Nov 15, 2013
I am VERY pleased with my visits. Everyone were prpfessional ! THANKS
Nov 14, 2013
No complaints. I arrived early and was still seen within about 5 minutes. Whole process was very seamless and efficient. Great service from staff, with everyone going out of their way to help.

Dr. Andrews and her staff do an outstanding job. They have taken care of my family for more than 10 years. I wouldn't trust our eyes to anyone else.
Nov 2, 2013
The staff is always very helpful. Jennie took her time with my daughter when she was picking out her first pair of glasses. They make you feel "at home" and that is important to me. The staff (Jennie) is what makes me always come back. Thanks
Oct 24, 2013
Excellent dr!! Very thorough and doesn't rush you through.
Oct 17, 2013
We love Dr. Andrews and her staff. They are always courteous and professional and most of all they know what they're doing! I feel like the tests and equipment Dr. Andrews uses are the best available and that my eyes are in "good hands".
Oct 17, 2013
Very nice.
Oct 5, 2013
My daughter and I had our first appointment with them yesterday evening. We were the last ones in and I have to say that we absolutely loved the atmosphere in the office. Everyone was very knowledgeable and very personable. It made for a wonderful experience!
Oct 4, 2013
Always very professional and helpful. A pleasure to visit. Dr Andrews is tops.
Oct 3, 2013
I am always treted right when I come to your place for eye care. Makes me feel special.
Oct 3, 2013
This was an AMAZING visit I was so impressed with this visit and Cayson was treated so greatly! I love this place thank you for taking care of my baby girl!
Sep 30, 2013
Dr. Andrews is thorough and personable, and most important, she actually LISTENS! I've been going to her for over eight years now. She's a bit out of the way traveling distance, but I keep going back to her because of what I just said. I've had three specific problems in the years I've been to her, and she has found a resolution to each one, something other doctors did not. On top of all of this, her complete staff of employes are also thorough, friendly and most helpful.
Aug 31, 2013
The staff were very friendly and kind.they have a great selection of frames and services.Dr Andrews is very sweet and explains everything she does before performing the exam.I would recommend this facility to everyone.
Aug 31, 2013
Loved it!
Aug 30, 2013
The care and service I received was phenomenal. From the initial call where I explained the urgency of my problem to Ashleigh, she was great and managed to get me in THE SAME DAY even working around my work schedule. I appreciated the fact that my insurance benefits were verified BEFORE I came to the appointment so that I did not have to wait while that was done after I arrived. The wait time was incredible. Even with filling out history paperwork, I still had to wait only less than 10 minutes. EVERYONE, Ashleigh, the staff at the front desk, the technicians, Dr Andrews, and the lady who helped me with my frames went out of their way to be helpful, courteous, and considerate. This was particularly notable because I was their very last patient for the day. I really appreciate the care and service I received from this operation and would heartily recommend them to others. Thanks for asking.
Aug 28, 2013
They very nice people
Aug 28, 2013
Not a long wait. Friendly workers.
Aug 25, 2013
Staff were very nice and patient with my 5yr old. It was her first visit to the eye dr. She had a great first experience!
Aug 22, 2013
As always Dr.Andrews and staff extremely nice and always helpful! Would not use any one else!
Aug 22, 2013
I know the difference between a doctor and a PHYSICIAN and Faye Andrews earns PHYSICIAN - she truly and personally cares for her patients. Only have a couple medical experiences that a Physician took the time to call me and ask questions to make sure - she did and I appreciate it. The rest of the Staff obviously follows her example - competent, caring and professional. Thanks to All
Aug 11, 2013
Service was great. However, I think there are too many text messages sent followed up with emails.
Aug 4, 2013

Everyone is so friendly and helpful! Great experience!!!
Jul 25, 2013
As always, I had a great experience. I have used Dr. Andrews for years and I have never been unhappy. She is awesome. Awesome staff as well. Very happy that she provides late appointments.
Jul 22, 2013
I'll begin with as soon as I walked through the door. The staff greeted me and was friendly and knowledgeable. The waiting room was comfortable. The technician who saw me before the doctor saw me was very nice and did her job in a professional and efficient manner. Dr. Andrews took her time with me, was very thorough, and showed me pictures(xrays) of my eyes and explained what was going on and how they compared with the pictures from the year before. She then proceeded with the exam. It was quick. She gave me advice on how to better take care of my eyes and recommended products for me to use. At the end of the exam, she came back and said, "I want to look at something again before you go." So she took her time to re-examine something she had seen during the exam before letting me go. I have been a patient of Dr. Andrews for years and will continue to go to Warrior Eye Care.
Jul 20, 2013
Very satisfied...
Jul 15, 2013
Personally think Dr. Andrews is the best optometrist - better more thorough exam than I had with an opthamologist in the past. Wonderful, knowledgeable staff and state of the art testing.
Jul 15, 2013
Always pleasant and efficient.
Jul 14, 2013
Very friendly. Wide variety and good prices
Jul 11, 2013
Warrior Eye Care worked me in on a very busy day. Despite the work load all of the technicians worked well together and were very patient. Dr. Andrews gave the best eye exam for a prescription than I have ever had. She diagnosed an undetected eye infection and is now working with me to use a prescription and contact lens brand that better suits my needs.
Jul 11, 2013
Great Doctor, Great Staff, Great Service
Jul 11, 2013
Staff, nurse and Dr. are very friendly, efficient and professional. I recommended them to a friend the next day when they were complaining of their eye doctor.
Jul 6, 2013
i am always met with a smile from the staff and a hello. Your staff is always very friendly and helpful.Thanks Wanda and Ashley you are both always very helpful and Thanks Dr Andrews you always take your time and explain anything and make me feel like i am your only patient.
Jul 5, 2013
Very good job!
Jul 4, 2013
Wanted to take advantage of the special prices on non-prescription sunglasses. Courteous employees were knowledgeable and helpful. Got my great new sunglasses - and they fit!
Jul 4, 2013
This is the first time an Optometrists staff made me feel like they actually knew what they were doing- and not just following the Optometrist around waiting for instructions. Very helpful, extremely customer-service oriented, the contacts they recommended are great, and I will definitely recommend them to everyone- in fact my wife now has an appointment with them next Monday! 5 stars!
Jul 4, 2013
Jun 28, 2013
My only complaint is that I wonder why you have to take my picture when you already have a copy of my driver's license picture ID. I thought that was a bit overkill. Otherwise, my visit was excellent and ;your staff, expecially the lady who checked me out (the money taker I guess) were extremely nice and pleasant. GOOD JOB.
Jun 27, 2013

There is not a big variety of glasses that appealed to me. I found only 3 pair that I was comfortable with and purchased one of them. I would like to have seen more but I had to settle for what you had.
May 3, 2013
The entire visit was quick, thorough and expedient. No long wait and all personnel at this establishment are courteous and professional. the only addition that I would recommend is to expand their range of men's glass frames.
May 3, 2013
Service was great with pickign out new frames and ordering! Thanks! :)
Apr 17, 2013
The staff is wonderful. Ginny has always gone above and beyond to make sure I am taken care of. She helped make my new glasses fit me the way I was wanting after making many adjustments. She is the best. I love having her there knowing she is always willing to help.

As always, Dr. Andrews was very thorough, attentive and informative. Her nursing staff was very professional and accomodating. The glasses are more expensive than I've paid in the past, but they are well made and flattering.
Apr 12, 2013
Staff is very friendly. They do great with young as well as older patients. Dr. Andrews always takes time to answer any and all questions you may have. Wouldn't use anyone else
Apr 12, 2013
Dr. Andrews and her staff are so nice and they are very thorough in assessing my vision needs.
Apr 10, 2013
They were all really friendly and took the time needed for my children. They showed my children that there was nothing to be afraid of since it was their first time to get their eyes checked. I will continue to bring my family here. They were amazing!!
Apr 6, 2013
I was treated REALLY WELL AND WITH RESPECT ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.NO OTHER CHOICE NEEDED IF YOUR VISIT IS FOR EYECARE.
Apr 6, 2013
Having had shingles in my eye in the past few months, when my eye became red and iritated, I called the office.

I am very pleased with my treatments at this doctor's office. I will be back.
Mar 30, 2013
A very pleasant visit with a helpful and professional Doctor and staff.

Feb 28, 2013
No not really. I finally have 20/20 vision but still can't see. These are really wonderful people who take care of you and help you to see. From the receptionist, to Ms. Andrews, to the lady that helps you pick out your glasses. Thank you for making it so easy with filling out the info online and setting up the appointment online also.
Aug 2, 2012
Dr. Andrews is a very caring Doctor. She has been my doctor for over 10 years and has given me excellent care. I have several problems and she keeps me well taken care of! I have recommended several people to her and they are pleased as well. The staff is awesome. They are all very helpful and so pleasant. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Andrews.

Unyielding winds have kept us close to the shorelines in an effort to weatherproof the day. Timely, inshore species have finally infiltrated the backcountry. These two coinciding events have been staple in achieving wintertime success.
Low water periods have led us to the deeper holes and pockets found in creeks, rivers and under residential docks. Live shrimp fished on the bottom has been producing redfish, trout, black drum, mangrove snapper and sheepshead. On the turn of the flood, redfish are being found along the edges of backcountry flats.
Sight casting redfish in inches of clear water is the apex of winter flats fishing. While this challenge is often the quest of seasoned anglers, it is not always the best with the casual angler. A dynamic, yet lax approach is to anchor and fish with fresh dead bait. Local tackle shops get the nod for fresh shrimp. However, savvy anglers will spend some time jigging up a few ladyfish as their preferred cut bait. The scent of an oily ladyfish will often produce when all else fails.

Truth time, when I see fabric I like – I buy it. I usually have no idea what I'm going to make but it's like an addiction. I need it. I saw this bundle of black, gold, and white fat quarters at Walmart and grabbed them up. I thought they would be perfect for making placemats for the holiday season but time ran away from me and I didn't make the placemats that I intended to. I did make these but I still had loads of fabric left so I decided to make coasters for my desk. I made a set of 4 that are reversible. They're super easy and anyone with a sewing machine can make them!
First, I always prewash my fabric. Then I got a bowl and traced out 4 circles in each color. I also did 4 circles of fleece (last picture) to go inside the coasters to help with absorbing condensation. You need to pick a bowl that is larger than the coaster you want because as you sew, you'll lose some size due to the seam allowance.
To make my fabric sandwiches easier to use, I first sewed the fleece to one of the fabrics. I chose the white one because I had white thread in my machine. Next up, take your fabric and put the right sides together. Using my fabric choices: black fabric, white fabric, fleece.
Now, sew almost all the way around the coaster. Leave an opening because you'll need to turn it right-side out. Using pinking sheers, cut around the edge. Be careful not to cut your stitches! Then you can turn the coasters right-side out. Iron them and then top stitch around them. I kept my white bobbin but added gold thread and then sewed with the black facing up.
I think they look great with my desk decor and they're super easy. I knocked these out during nap time! What's your favorite sewing project?

Best of 2013 — Top 10 Series
I love lists. When I was in middle school, I was definitely the type of kid that recorded the results of VH1's top 10 videos of the week countdown in a notebook in an attempt to predict what their top 50 videos of the year would be. No, I didn't have a social life in middle school, why do you ask? The point is, the end of every year brings with it an arbitrary reason to write lists on top of lists. For an Excel-spreadsheet-fiend like me, this is basically double Christmas.
2013 was a weird year for comics, wasn't it? Most of the Big Deal comics from this year made their debut in 2012 and not that many new series really caused a big, "Saga"-sized splash. For me, 2013 might have been the year that I pretty much gave up on DC's superhero offerings — for reasons I've previously detailed — but I did start reading a lot more comics from Image, Dark Horse and other non-Big Two companies. This was a year of diversification — in addition to my usual heavy helpings of Marvel.
RELATED: CBR's Top 100 Comics of 2013
I think these changes are noticeable in this, my Top 10 Series of 2013. DC heroes are noticeably and possibly infuriatingly for some of you, absent from the list. There are also only five series from Marvel Comics, which actually surprises me. I'll say this about DC Comics: it's very likely they'll impress me in 2014. Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder's "Action Comics" has been outstanding and I'm anxiously awaiting Jeff Parker's arrival on "Aquaman."
Because I think year-end lists are serious business, I devised a number of rules to make this list. All series must have released at least three issues in 2013 and I must have read at least 75% of the series' entire output. With those two rules in mind, 44 series were eligible for the extremely prestigious In Your Face Jam list of the Top 10 Series of 2013. Let's count them down.
10. FF #3-15 (Marvel Comics)
Written by Matt Fraction and Lee Allred; art by Mike Allred and Joe Quinones; colored by Laura Allred; lettered by Clayton Cowles; edited by Jake Thomas, Tom Brevoort and Lauren Sankovitch
Matt Fraction's been getting a lot of praise for pretty much every other comic he's writing, leaving his work on "FF" criminally underrated. This book is insane and too big and too obscure and too weird too work — yet it does. Someway, somehow, a book starring no less than twenty main characters that traverses the entire Marvel Universe feels intimate. Maybe that's because Fraction put character development before plot on this book, with issues dedicated to She-Hulk and Darla Deering being absolute standouts? Maybe it's because the book made representation and acceptance a prominent theme, with Tong becoming the first transgender moloid — and maybe the only transgender character that I can think of — in the Marvel Universe this year? Maybe it's because artists with retro-pop styles like Mike Allred and Joe Quinones made each issue feel comfortable and like home, even as the plots got progressively more out there? Maybe it's because this is a book about family created by a family? Lee Allred took over for Fraction when he stepped back and Laura Allred's strong color palette has kept the entire book's tone from wavering, even as the stories branched out into new territory. Or maybe it's because the book had a sense of humor unlike every other Marvel Comic this year? It's been a long time since a Marvel comic tapped into the trademark self-awareness that made Stan and Jack's early "Fantastic Four" days so much fun. "FF" hasn't been given enough attention this year and it deserves it.
9. Lazarus #1-5 (Image Comics)
Written by Greg Rucka; art and letters by Michael Lark; inked by Brian Level and Stefano Gaudiano; colored by Santi Arcas; design by Eric Trautmann; edited by David Brothers
You don't always get the chance to jump onboard the next big thing right with issue #1. I'm glad I did. Rucka and Lark have one of the most natural partnerships in all of comics and their work on "Lazarus" plays to each of their strengths. Rucka's created Forever Carlyle, another one of his trademark protagonists that's immediately captivating, relatable and thrillingly dangerous. I mean, we meet her right after she's ben shot to pieces — and then she pulls herself back together and trudges back into her role as the protector of one of the wealthy family's ruling over a dystopian Earth. The mood created by Lark and colorist Santi Arcas is completely cinematic and a perfect fit for this gripping family drama. Trust me when I say that "Lazarus" will be spoken of in the same breath as "Preacher" and "Y: The Last Man" when the next generation of readers rolls around.
8. The Wake #1-5 (DC Comics/Vertigo)
Written by Scott Snyder; art by Sean Murphy; colored by Matt Hollingsworth; lettered by Jared K. Fletcher; edited by Sara Miller and Mark Doyle; color covers by Jordie Bellaire
Scott Snyder, why are you so scary? And Sean Murphy, why are you making Snyder's creepy ideas scarier? I mean, I guess I should blame myself for reading "The Wake" every month, but the terror is worth it. I have rarely experienced "Alien"-level tension in a comic book before, but "The Wake" has me anxiously dreading turning each page. "The Wake" was about a group of scientists trying to survive the return of an ancient, killer breed of sea creature — essentially Freddy Krueger mermaids — as their entire facility slowly crumbled into the ocean. The art on this book is truly something to lovingly analyze. Sean Murphy's pencils are as emotive and kinetic as ever and Hollingsworth's colors and an ominous tone as well as a subtle texture. Now, halfway through, "The Wake" has shifted its attention elsewhere — to the future and a flooded Earth. I don't know where "The Wake" is going, but I'm following it wherever it winds up.
7. Star Wars #1-12 (Dark Horse Comics)
Written by Brian Wood; art by Carlos D'Anda and Ryan Kelly; inked by Dan Parsons; colored by Gabriel Eltaeb; lettered by Michael Heisler; edited by Randy Stradley and Freddye Lins; covers by Alex Ross, Rodolfo Migliari, Hugh Fleming, David Michael Beck and Sean Cooke
My love of Star Wars predates my love of comic books. In fact, the first comics I read were hand-me-down copies of Marvel's '70s "Star Wars" series. I love those three movies and I love those characters — but I have not regularly bought a Star Wars comic in years. It's now December 2013 and I buy three Star Wars comics a month. That change is because Dark Horse has decided to take a just do it mentality to their Star Wars line, resulting in some of the best comics I've read this year. Instead of focusing on tangential characters or stories set an even longer time ago, they pulled out the big gun — a series starring Leia, Han, Luke and the rest set immediately following "A New Hope." The stunning art by Carlos D'Anda, who somehow made drawing fleets of TIE fighters look effortless and standout colors by Gabriel Eltaeb easily matched the quality of Brian Wood's emotionally complex tale filled espionage and action. Chewbacca shooting a crossbow for outside the Millennium Falcon's hatch? Princess Leia piloting an X-Wing through a dogfight? Wedge Antilles getting to be Wedge Antilles? This is the Star Wars comic I've waited for since I first started reading comics.
6. X-Men #1-8 (Marvel Comics)
Written by Brian Wood; art by Olvier Coipel, David Lopez, Terry Dodson and Barry Kitson; inked by Mark Morales, Scott Hanna, Norman Lee, Cam Smith, Terry Pallot, Rachel Dodson and Karl Kesel; colored by Laura Martin, Matt Milla, Christina Strain, Cris Peter, Jason Keith; lettered by Joe Caramagna; edited by Jeanine Schaefer, Jennifer Smith, Nick Lowe and Tom Brennan; cover art by Art Adams and Ed McGuinnes; cover colors by Marte Gracia
While I enjoy the grand soap opera over in "All-New" and "Uncanny," and the sprawling cast of "Wolverine and the" definitely has its charm, I wanted an X-Men comic book with a small cast and villains that aren't other X-Men. Brian Wood's "X-Men" has given me just that. This book's been packed with moments that now come to define these characters for me, especially Wood and Coipel's fantastic depiction of Rogue in the initial "Primer" storyline. Even though the series spent three months tied up in the (incredibly fun) "Battle of the Atom" storyline, Wood still kept his plotlines rolling. While servicing the larger time-travel action, Wood smartly gave "X-Men" readers enough development with Jubilee and Shogo and enough time with Kitty and Rachel to keep the book's momentum strong. Even if Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness' "Amazing X-Men" is off to a fantastic start, "X-Men" is the mutant book to beat in 2014.
5. Saga #9-17 (Image Comics)
Written by Brian K. Vaughan; art and colors by Fiona Staples; lettered by Fonografiks; edited by Eric Stephenson
So it turns out that Vaughan picked the right name for "Saga." The series' newness may have worn off and it may be a bit harder to surprise readers following the book's first, giant genitilia-filled year, but "Saga's" changed it's tactics. It's now one of the best character dramas on the stands and great new characters keep coming. It's a testament to Vaughan's talents that newcomers like Oswald Heist and the journalists Upsher and Doff feel as vital as old friends Alana and Marko. It's also refreshing that in a year marked with creative turnover, canceled series and relaunched series (like every other year in comics), "Saga" feels like a staple now. It's not new; as it hits it's 18th issue, it'll actually be one of the longer running books around. It really is a saga and it's a great one.
4. Young Avengers #1-14 (Marvel Comics)
Written by Kieron Gillen; art by Jamie McKelvie, Mike Norton, Kate Brown, Emma Vieceli, Christian Ward and Annie Wu; colored by Matt Wilson, Jordie Bellaire and Lee Loughridge; lettered by Clayton Cowles; edited by Lauren Sankovitch, Jake Thomas and Jon Moisan
"Young Avengers" reinvented the superhero comic this year. No other series at the Big Two was as daring or fearless in its execution as this incredibly now comic. With it's pop sensibility, forward thinking gender roles and Tumblr-bait plot twists, "Young Avengers" really could not have existed before 2013 and, fittingly, it's not going to last very long in 2014. This comic, just like youth, was about living in the present. Yeah, the innovative Instagram-inspired layout in "Young Avengers" #7 will seem dated in a few iOS updates, but the whole point of "Young Avengers" wasn't to last forever. Just like your friends from school, this series was designed to be a best friend right up until it couldn't. We're going our separate ways in a few weeks, but the memories will last forever.
3. Private Eye #1-4 (Panel Syndicate)
Written by Brian K. Vaughan; art by Marcos Martin; colored by Muntsa Vicente
You can sum up "The Private Eye's" impact on the comic book world to a non-reader with just one word: Beyonce. Just like Queen Bey, comic superstars Brian K. Vaughan and Marcos Martin dropped a complicated and ground-breaking chunk of entertainment on the public with absolutely zero fanfare. No warning, no precedent, "The Private Eye" just happened. That alone makes it worth talking about, but the story inside boosts it up to the top tier. It's a classic Vaughan world, where one idea — a digital cloud burst — spawns an entire society filled with privacy-hording and mask-wearing henchman, investigators and femme fatales. But the real story here is Marcos Martin, who's ambitiously exploring new artistic territory with the book's horizontal page layout — not to mention all of the detailed and absolutely bonkers designs he's cooked up for this future society. There are no rules with "Private Eye."
2. Hawkeye #7-14, Annual #1 (Marvel Comics)
Written by Matt Fraction; art by David Aja, Annie Wu, Francesco Francavilla, Javier Pulido, Steve Lieber and Jesse Hamm; colored by Matt Hollingsworth; lettered by Chris Eliopoulos and Clayton Cowles; edited by Stephen Wacker, Sana Amanat, Tom Brennan and Devin Lewis
This was a rough year for Clint Barton and everyone that chooses to associate with him. We got to see just how rough thanks to a series of issues highlighting the books ever-growing cast. Seriously, I would not have believed you if you'd told me I would enjoy an issue focused on Clint's troubled brother Barney. And I would have never thought Kate Bishop would be this thrilling and entertaining as a protagonist. And I never, ever thought I would read an issue from the point of view of a dog that would tell a genuinely gripping story. There's only one comic that made me more emotional in 2013 and it's in the top spot.
1. Daredevil #22-34 (Marvel Comics)
Written by Mark Waid; art and cover art by Chris Samnee; art by Javier Rodriguez and Jason Copland; inked by Alvaro Lopez colored by Javier Rodriguez; lettered by Joe Caramagna; edited by Stephen Wacker and Ellie Pyle; cover art by Paolo Rivera
A lot of flashier comics have snuck onto the scene, but you cannot forget about "Daredevil." You can't deny its power. You can't overlook the fact that Mark Waid, Chris Samnee and Javier Rodriguez are creating a book that is timeless. This is the perfect Marvel Comics comic, and it only shipped thirteen issues in a year, with Samnee handling art duties on ten of them. This stability made "Daredevil" feel unlike any other book at the Big Two and it's why this book had its best year, ever. No other fictional friendship had me more invested than Foggy and Matt's as Daredevil's best bud was diagnosed with cancer. This book doesn't cause controversy and it doesn't grab headlines, because it doesn't need to. It's simply the best superhero comic being made right now, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

Northville-based Digital Roots, a social media software company launched in 2009 by Jay Wolcott, has been acquired by Interactions LLC.
After eight years of building up the social media insights and engagement platform, Wolcott — a former General Motors Co. executive — said it was the right time to hand if off.
"This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a larger organization that has a very similar philosophy and focus on artificial intelligence," Wolcott said.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Digital Roots provides artificial intelligence technology that filters data on social media that is relevant to customers. Its clients include GM, Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
Headquartered in Franklin, Mass., Interactions builds and delivers "intelligent virtual assistant" applications for enterprise customer care. It was founded in 2004 and has expanded with offices in Indiana, New Jersey and New York. In 2014, the company acquired the AT&T Watson AI technology and team.
"As you look at consumers and dynamics, social media networks are becoming more important and a channel typically millennials want to engage on," said Phil Gray, executive vice president of Interactions.
Gray described the latest acquisition as a "natural evolution" for Interactions and one that will diversify its product and give it a unique edge in the market.
Digital Roots will be called Interactions Digital Roots, a division of its new parent company.
Interactions will retain all employees at Digital Roots' Northville headquarters, as well as those at the research and development office in Ann Arbor, bringing the total number of employees at the company to 350-400, Gray said. Wolcott will become the company's vice president of social engagement product.
The company plans to add more employees at each location, with job openings being posted online in the next couple of weeks, he said. The number of employees being added was not specified.

RICHMOND, VA — Today, the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards (SAMS) and the Sierra Club filed a lawsuit appealing an Interior Board of Land Appeals' determination that upheld refusals by both the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy and the federal Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to allow citizens to inspect a Virginia coal mine operated by Red River Coal Company, Inc in Wise County. The groups had originally requested the inspection in January 2014 based on evidence that the mine is releasing the harmful mining pollutant selenium into nearby streams.
In response, Jane Branham, President of Southern Appalachia Mountain Stewards, released the following statement:
"Coal mining is a destructive practice that devastates communities by poisoning drinking water andlaying waste to wildlife habitats.
"One of the central pillars of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (SMCRA) is the guarantee of citizen participation in permitting and oversight of coal mines. In particular, SMCRA allows citizens to request– and participate in– inspections of mine sites alleged to be in violation of their mining permit or other performance standards. Sierra Club and SAMS brought today's lawsuit in order to protect the critical right of citizens to monitor coal mines that impact their communities and environment.â€
"I should have been granted my right to a citizen inspection", SAMS member Matt Hepler stated.
The groups are represented by attorneys with Morris Law Office and Appalachian Mountain Advocates

Chard farinata with leafy greens pesto
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is a secretly healthy, vegan recipe, but shh... don't tell! Farinata is a savory cake from the Liguria region of Italy and is made from chickpea flour which makes it gluten-free. The flavorful pesto is made from kale, spinach and chard and has a generous helping of protein rich hemp seeds. I used pine nuts in the pesto as well, but if you want to go completely nut free, just substitute the pine nuts with more hemp seeds. —Lauren Godfrey
Serves: 6 - 8
Leafy greens pesto
cups kale, ribs and stems removed
cup spinach leaves
cup chard, ribs and stems removed
cup toasted pine nuts
cup hemp seeds
tablespoons meyer lemon juice
cloves garlic, minced
1 1/3
teaspoons kosher salt
cup extra virgin olive oil
- Prepare an ice bath. Blanch kale, spinach and chard in a pot of boiling water until soft, about 1 minute. Immediately submerge blanched greens in ice bath until cool. Wring out all excess water from greens by squeezing with your hands. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 300. Place pine nuts on a rimmed baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Reserve half of the toasted pine nuts for garnish.
- In a food processor, add the blanched greens, half of the pine nuts, hemp seeds, lemon juice, garlic and kosher salt. With the processor on, drizzle the olive oil in to the mixture until incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed. Blitz for several minutes until all ingredients are well incorporated and the pesto appears creamy.
Chard farinata
cups chickpea flour
teaspoons kosher salt
cup chard leaves, minced
extra virgin olive oil
- Whisk chickpea flour and kosher salt with 2 1/2 cups of water and 1/4 cup olive oil until all lumps are eliminated. Set aside at room temperature to allow the flour to absorb the liquid, for several hours up to over night. Just before baking, whisk in minced chard leaves.
- Preheat oven to 475. Place 12" cast iron skillet in oven for 5 - 10 minutes or until it is heated through. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet making sure that the entire surface is covered. Add the chickpea and chard batter and return to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm with a generous dollop of leafy greens pesto and some toasted pine nuts.

Jun 5, 18, 02:17 PM #4Billy Hamilton has only attempted to steal a base 13 times in the 57 times he has been on base this year.
Does that number seem too low to you?
Jun 5, 18, 06:22 PM #5Honest question, why is Winker playing right field? I've always heard that you put your worst defensive outfield in left, because if they misplay a ball in the corner or gap, it's a shorter throw to 3rd...so, it's less likely to have a negative impact.

Ramadan Kareem InshaAllah
Suheil Laher
It is appropriate that every Muslim should receive the blessed month of Ramadan with repentance, sincerity, resoluteness and earnestness. He/she should make the intention to perform extra acts of devotion and worship therein, including the Night Prayer (qiyam), recitation of Qur'an, and abundant charity to the poor and needy.
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), used to say the following when the month of Rajab began. "Oh Allah! Bless us in Rajab and Sha`ban, and bring us, oh Allah, to Ramadan." [Narrated by Tabarani and Ahmad]
The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) addressed his companions on the last day of Sha`ban, saying, "Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month; a month in which is a night better than a thousand months; month in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day, and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Heaven. It is the month of charity, and a month in which a believer's sustenance is increased. Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, shall have his sins forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same reward as the fasting person, without his reward being diminished at all." [Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah]
In another hadith, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) says, "Ramadan has come to you. (It is) a month of blessing, in which Allah covers you with blessing, for He sends down Mercy, decreases sins and answers prayers. In it, Allah looks at your competition (in good deeds), and boasts about you to His angels. So show Allah goodness from yourselves, for the unfortunate one is he who is deprived in (this month) of the mercy of Allah, the Mighty, the Exalted." [Narrated by Tabarani]
The preceding hadiths bring attention to readiness and preparation for receiving Ramadan. This is achieved by having a clear understanding of this month in one's mind, and greeting Ramadan with love and yearning. Also, one should have the determination and intention to perform good deeds and worship, and one should lay down a program to accomplish this in the days of the blessed month.
It is communally obligatory upon the Muslims to seek the crescent at the time of sunset on the 29th day of Sha`ban, and the 29th day of Ramadan, in order to verify the status of the start and end of their fasting. When seeing the crescent, it is sunnah for the Muslim to supplicate with the following supplication, which has been reported from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
On the authority of Talhah ibn `Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him): when the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) saw the crescent, he used to say, "Oh Allah! Cause it to appear over us with prosperity, faith (Iman), security and Islam. (Then to the moon:) My Lord and your Lord is Allah." [Narrated by Tirmidhi, who said it is a good (hasan) hadith.]
Qatadah said that he was informed that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to say, when seeing the crescent, "A crescent of goodness and orientation, a crescent of goodness and orientation, a crescent of goodness and orientation. (To the moon:) I believe in Allah who created you." (Three times), and then he would say, "Praise be to Allah who has taken away such- and-such month and brought such-and-such month." [Narrated by Abu Dawud]
The month of Ramadan has excellences over the other months, as is testified to by the Qur'an and Sunnah, and out of these we will bring to attention the following virtues:
1. It is the month of the Qur'an, with regards to revelation and study. ("The month of Ramadan is that in which was revealed the Qur'an." [Qur'an, 2:185]). On the authority of Ibn `Abbas: Angel Gabriel used to meet the Prophet every night in Ramadan and used to study Qur'an with him.
2. It is the month of seclusion. Ibn `Umar said, "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to seclude himself for the last ten days of the month of Ramadan."
3. It is the month of generosity. Ibn `Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to be at his most generous in Ramadan."
4. It is the month of standing (in voluntary night prayer). On the authority of Abu Hurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, "Whoever stands (in voluntary night prayer) during Ramadan, with faith and in expectancy of reward, his previous sins are forgiven him."
5. It is the month of the compulsory fast, because of Allah's saying, "So, whoever among you witnesses the month should fast." [Qur'an, 2:185] A terrible error prevalent among people is to talk about Ramadan just as they talk about the obligation of fasting, as if Ramadan and fasting are synonymous, each carrying the meaning of the other and not anything more nor less. Yet, fasting is one of many acts of worship in Ramadan.
Many reports have been narrated from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) explaining the distinction of Ramadan, of which we have selected the following.
"The month of Ramadan has come to you; a month of goodness and blessing." [Ibn Khuzaymah]
"The Master of the Months is Ramadan, and the Master of the days is Friday." [Ibn Khuzaymah]
"Whoever fasted Ramadan with faith and in expectancy of reward, his previous sins are forgiven him." [Bukhari and Muslim]
"When Ramadan comes, the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained." And in a narration from Nasa'i, the following words are added: "and a caller calls out every night: 'Oh seeker of Good, draw near! Oh seeker of Evil, desist!' "

Know that the state of one's religious and worldly affairs depend upon soundness of one's reflection. Anyone who has a share of it has an abundant share of everything good. It has been said : 'An hour's reflection is better than a year's worship.' 'Ali, may God ennoble his face, has said: 'There is no worship like reflection.' And one of the gnostics; may God have mercy on them all, said: 'Reflection is the lamp of the heart; if it departs the heart will have no light.' Reflections by Imam Al-Haddad (ra)

From the Madagascar Plague to the Ugandan Marburg virus outbreaks and the continued plight to mitigate the Zika Virus, it is clear that epidemic risk continues to pose a global health threat to communities and organizations worldwide.
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) December 06, 2017
With more than 400 human disease outbreaks in the past 10 years, the human and economic toll has been extensive. In fact, experts project the impact from a global human pandemic to be around $570 billion or 0.7% of global income. The global health community has reached a tipping point when it comes to leveraging better mechanisms for financing and managing the economic blowback of an outbreak. With that, Metabiota, the pioneer in epidemic risk modeling, is revealing its top trends and predictions for epidemic risk in the year ahead.
"From the Madagascar Plague to the Ugandan Marburg virus outbreaks and the continued plight to mitigate the Zika Virus, it is clear that epidemic risk continues to pose a global health threat to communities and organizations worldwide," said Bill Rossi, CEO of Metabiota. "At the center of this effort are new methods for assessing and insuring risk, and thanks to advances in disease tracking and reporting, software machine learning and artificial intelligence, we can now understand the risk of disease spread more clearly. Metabiota is committed to helping the world become more resilient to epidemics by working with governments and organizations around the globe. Our team is sharing this knowledge and expertise, so that all risk managers can be better prepared in the year ahead and beyond."
Metabiota's team outlined five different aspects of risk, along with their prediction for what lies ahead in 2018:
- CEO Bill Rossi on Corporate Risk: Metabiota predicts that 2018 will be the year the Chief Risk Officer takes center stage for corporations, and risk management will be the top priority for CEOs and company Boards. Just as the Chief Information Officer (CIO) role was the toughest job in Corporate America in the 1990s, today Corporate America has a new toughest job – the Chief Risk Officer (CRO). With the proliferation of risk, it is increasingly difficult to keep pace with the current and emerging risks that can threaten a company's business. These include natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, fires and floods, as well as non-physical risks like cyber breaches and infectious disease spread that can cause major business interruption.
- Head of Data Science Nita Madhav on Forecasting Risk: Metabiota predicts that in 2018, the infectious disease modeling community will improve and enhance forecasting models, including higher resolution and more timely data, such as electronic health records and the genetic sequences of pathogens, into forecasting models. Forecasting epidemics is the holy grail of infectious disease modeling and one that looks increasingly achievable in the year ahead. Historically, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has held a flu forecasting challenge to forecast how the flu season will unfold in the U.S. These forecasts rely on different datasets including reported flu cases, social media data, weather data, and other disparate sources; however, they are generally coarse-grained and have only covered the United States. More recently, forecasting challenges have included dengue, chikingunya, and Ebola. With enhanced forecasting capabilities, models can begin tackling a wider range of pathogens, allowing for greater geographic coverage, and ultimately a broader breadth and better precision. These new abilities will be instrumental in allowing for more timely and effective risk assessment and better decision-making by governments and commercial entities before and during epidemics.
- Senior Scientist Ben Oppenheim on Global Risk: In 2018, the international community will focus on new initiatives that address the links between global threats. Many of today's critical risks to human health and well-being are interrelated – from climate change to epidemic outbreaks, armed conflict and natural catastrophes. As a result, a single event has the potential to set off a chain of crises. The challenge is that the current systems that monitor, model, and manage each crisis are not integrated. Two factors will start to break down those silos First, improvements in data (both historical and real-time) and advances in modeling will allow for more sophisticated analyses that shed light on how threats interact—and where governments, multilateral organizations, and the private sector can best intervene to mitigate risk. And second, the organizations on the front-lines—NGOs, humanitarian organizations, and others—will increasingly recognize the need to build partnerships, to share data, expertise, and responsibility to respond to complex crises.
- Senior Product Manager Cristina Stefan on Insuring Risk: Operating within a low to negative yield environment for more than half a decade, insurers must rethink their growth strategy since they can no longer rely on the financial markets to fill in their margins. Metabiota predicts that in 2018, insurers will begin focusing more on speed and an increased appetite for risk to reach the needed returns. Speed is heavily driven by the insurtech space, where "digital" is the currency. A higher risk appetite is supported by innovation. Rethinking the historical exclusions (terrorism, pandemics) to be able to insure against them for the right price is one such example. Such risks are the so-called "risks without history" and they can support the creation of new markets for insurance.By leveraging big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques, predictive modeling is the best way to combine technology, computing power and science to develop innovative insurance products.
- Head of Data Research Damien Joly on Climate Risk: Metabiota predicts that in 2018, the links between catastrophic weather events and public health will continue to lead to increased health risks across the world. In 2017, the effects of extreme weather events, such as the widespread monsoon flooding in South Asia or the successive hurricanes in the Caribbean, were particularly felt in countries with fragile or poor public health infrastructure and have led previously manageable, chronic health conditions to crisis situations. Examples include thousands of reported cases of waterborne disease in Bangladesh following the summer's floods, and anecdotal reports of disruption of access to health care in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria. Global climate change and associated extreme weather events are linked, and so we predict this trend will continue into 2018, wherein the combination of fragile public health infrastructure and devastating weather events could lead to health crises.
Metabiota's innovative platform estimates epidemic preparedness and risk, including the frequency, severity, duration and cost of outbreaks. With a powerful combination of epidemic risk analytics, historical data, disease scenarios and insights from public health analysts and global epidemiologists, Metabiota's platform allows insurers to better understand and underwrite risk. Metabiota's approach provides the insurance industry, governments and organizations with the data and modeling tools needed to gauge the potential financial impact of a major health event so that risk can be managed in a more effective way.
