With the launch of The Division 2 today, there's a good chance you'll be staring at a screen a lot as you take back Washington DC and then explore the looter shooter's extensive endgame. In game, you'll want to gear up to protect your Division agent, but what about protecting your own eyes? GUNNAR has a set of limited edition The Division 2 computer glasses just for the occasion, so that you can rep the game in style while saving your eyes from the strain that comes with long hours on digital devices.
The Division 2 GUNNAR glasses take the Intercept design and give it stylish orange earpieces complete with the fictional Strategic Homeland Division logo. The other side says "Unite" with a stylized image of the Capitol Building in the text, while the game's logo sits on the inner side of the earpieces. They also come with a custom microfiber carrying bag sporting the SHD logo. The lenses themselves are GUNNAR's proprietary patented design with a Blue Light Protection Factor of 65, curvature to reduce dry eyes, and special coating to reduce glare. The frames may look different, but your still getting that GUNNAR's protection.

Retailing at $79.99, they do come in $10 more than the standard Intercept frames for the added customization, but if you're a big fan of the game, the extra expense might be worth it. What's great about GUNNAR glasses is that—barring clear versus amber lenses—their technology is the same throughout their line, but they offer a massive variety of styles to make sure that you look great protecting your eyes. You can read our full review of the slightly slimmer Vertex frames from last year (which I have continued to use since). The Intercept frames that The Division 2 GUNNARs use are a bit taller in the lenses which does help to reduce some light leak from the top and bottoms of the frames, but otherwise provide the same excellent experience I get with the Vertex style.
This isn't the first time that GUNNAR has partnered with Ubisoft for themed eyewear. Last year a limited edition set of Assassin's Creed Odyssey glasses were released, as well as a set of amber lens GUNNARs made to replicate the look of The Father from Far Cry 5. There's a three-year licensing agreement in place with Ubisoft, so expect to see more GUNNARs paired with Ubisoft titles in the future.

The Inner Forth is an incredible place that has been formed by nature and shaped by people. A place steeped in history that holds so much importance to the wildlife and the people that have lived here, both past and present. A place that deserves to be recognised and celebrated for its cultural, natural and historic heritage.
Over the past four months RSPB Scotland has been working with Edinburgh-based animators Interference Pattern to create an animation about the Inner Forth – a snapshot through time that looks at the changes in its landscape, industry and wildlife. The film starts with the last Ice Age and ends with what the future may hold. Ami Kirkbright, Project Assistant for the Inner Forth Futurescape Project, tells us more:'The Inner Forth: formed by nature, shaped by people' animation has been created as a learning resource for local schools and students to learn about the Inner Forth – its incredible history, how it was formed and what has influenced its changes. It was both easy and extremely hard to research and create this animation. Easy because there is so much to tell people about, but hard because how do we fit it all in to 6 minutes! Working with Interference Pattern has been a delight – they have truly captured the vibrancy and diversity of the area in a dynamic and captivating way, with the wonderful colours and animation style. I thought I'd provide a very quick run through of some of the topics we covered though out the animation, and hopefully you will enjoy the real thing by following the link below. Signs of the past can be found all over the Forth. The flat bottomed valley pinched between the Touch and Ochil Hills was scoured out by ice thousands of years ago, carving through the landscape leaving behind geological features such as the small hill on which Stirling Castle was built. Glaciers eroding the soft sedimentary rockOnce the ice had melted and waters receded, the Forth became more hospitable for people. Shell middens have been found around the Forth, which are evidence of early settlers using the surrounding resources. We now start to see humans shape the landscape with changes to agricultural practices and settlements. Agriculture has changed dramatically from small scale crofts to large industrial-sized operations in a very short amount of time. Building sea walls allowed land owners to reclaim land from the river and increased areas for growing crops and grazing animals. Croft with crops and grazing animals Agriculture wasn't the only big business around the Forth. The geological make-up of the area resulted in huge coal deposits. This fuelled much of the industry throughout the area and further afield, and was at the heart of the industrial revolution in Scotland. Together with the fertile soils, this led to distilleries such as the one at Kennetpans, which exported whisky nationwide and across to Europe. As industry and the population grew, we start to see power plants, the oil refinery and more land reclaimed from the river for development. However, throughout all this change there has been one thing that has remained almost constant, the incredible wildlife. The creation of huge areas of wetlands after the ice melted meant the Forth catchment was a magnet for all kinds of species. Today, despite the huge changes to the landscape, much of the Forth estuary is nationally, internationally and globally designated for its important conservation value being a fantastic place to see wintering wildfowl and waders.RSPB Black Devon WetlandsThis is why we wanted to highlight the Inner Forth's incredible story and importance. To show school students that they live in this fantastically diverse place full of history and amazing wildlife. We want to show them how the landscape has changed dramatically over time to become what we see today. If you look you can see evidence of this all around. We want to inspire people to venture out and see for themselves the incredible landscape right on their doorstep: visit RSPB Black Devon Wetlands and enjoy the wildlife and countryside; climb one of the Ochil hills and look down to the flat valley that was once full of ice; visit Kinneil Museum or Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway to learn about the local history of the area. So much to do and see, the only problem is where to start!

Insurance agent charged with drink driving in Tanjong Pagar accident which injured 4
SINGAPORE: The 41-year-old man behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz that ploughed into pedestrians at Tanjong Pagar Road on Thursday evening (Dec 7) was charged on Friday with drink driving.
Lim Kwong Fei, an insurance agent, allegedly mounted the centre divider, drove against the flow of traffic and ploughed into four pedestrians on the traffic island.
He then hit a lorry and upon impact, veered to the left, mounting the centre divider again and colliding onto the rear of a taxi, Lim's charge sheet stated.
The pedestrians – three Singaporeans and an Australian – are still warded at Singapore General Hospital, where they were taken to following the accident.
A 56-year-old man is in the ICU with bleeding in the brain. His 23-year-old daughter suffered lacerations and abrasions. A 40-year-old Australian man suffered a spinal cord injury. The fourth victim, a 29-year-old man, sustained a nasal fracture.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the 56-year-old man has been identified as Lim Yew Beng and his daughter Merlyn Lim. The other two injured are Australian Martin Guillian Noel Faron and Singaporean Naylin Tun.
Dozens of witnesses saw the collision, which took place at just outside Amara Hotel at about 6.30pm.
Lim was arrested at the scene.
He appeared in court on Friday looking dishevelled after a night in custody. He told the court he plans to engage a lawyer, and that he has not decided whether he will plead guilty to the charge.
Lim, who was offered bail at S$15,000, will next appear in court on Jan 18.
A police prosecutor said Lim may face more charges.
A video circulating on social media on Thursday showed a man in a black suit sitting behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz looking dazed as paramedics tended to those injured beside the car.
The front licence plate of the Mercedes-Benz could be seen on the road along with other bits of debris. In front of the car was a red TransCab taxi, which appeared to have sustained damage to its rear.
For drink driving, Lim could be jailed for up to six months or fined S$1,000 to S$5,000.
For a second or subsequent conviction, drink drivers face up to 12 months' jail and a fine of S$3,000 to S$10,000.
The High Court set new sentencing guidelines for drink drivers in July.
Drink drivers who damage property or injure someone should expect to serve time in jail, except in an exceptional category of cases, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon had said.
How much time will depend on the severity of injury, how much alcohol the driver had consumed and how dangerously he was driving.
The number of people imprisoned for drink driving more than tripled from around 50 in 2014 to nearly 190 last year.

Hi guys! This is the conclusion to my first Cheap Trippin' installment. I hope you've enjoyed reading it because I have certainly loved sharing it with you! In case you missed the first parts they are here and here. We had so much fun and learned so much in St. Louis. We already want to go back when the weather is warmer so we can do all the things we had to cut short due to the cold. Case in point, our last day was supposed to be the warmest of our trip. With temps in the high 50's, I thought for sure we could go to the zoo and still head home in the afternoon. Unfortunately, I didn't take into account how cold the wind was! Instead of trying to speed through the zoo, we decided to see some of the other things on our list, several of which were indoors.
First on our list was the St. Louis Art Museum. When we arrived at Forest Park, where the Museum is located, we were astounded. It is absolutely beautiful!! Also, it is huge and so much more than just the museum. I'll insert some pictures we took at Forest Park. Unknown to us, the museum is closed on Mondays.
Next up on my list of must-see spots was the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis. I thought the kids would love it but I have to say, it is absolutely breathtaking. I sat down in the pews for a good bit just trying to take it all in. The detail and reverence in every little inch of the Cathedral is mind-blowing. Also, they have a Mosaic Museum downstairs which is very informative and has some very interesting pieces in itself.
Lastly for this trip we had to travel downtown to the Old Courthouse and the Arch Museum. The Old Courthouse has to be seen. It is amazing too. Jason and the girls climbed up to the third floor balcony while I stayed below and looked at the displays they have up on the walls. The Courthouse was built in the 1820's and is so full of history. The Arch Museum is inside the Old Courthouse but we actually didn't spend time there because our time was already up on the parking meter we had parked at! We took a couple of quick pics in the doorway to the Arch, but didn't go out to it. We decided that would have to wait for better weather as well.
All in all we absolutely loved our little getaway to St. Louis. At under six hours away from us I think we will definitely make a return trip. There is so much to see and do, and surprisingly, so much of it is free! Also for our family of 5, with 2 hotel rooms and gas included, our 2 day and 2 night trip was less than $1000! We got souvenirs, ate out for every meal, and had a great time. It was a great trip.
I hope you've enjoyed this installment of Cheap Trippin'. We like to take little road trips fairly regularly as a family and I'd love to share some more of our favorite little spots with you. Is there somewhere in particular you'd like us to check out? Let me know in the comments below! And Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

According to exclusive Gold Derby odds that are derived from the predictions made by our expert journalists, in-house staff editors and contest entrants like you, either Rami Malek ("Mr. Robot") or Jon Hamm ("Mad Men") will be named Best TV Drama Actor at the Golden Globes. Do you agree or disagree with those predictions? Hurry — there's a $100 Amazon gift certificate on the line for whoever does the best at predicting this year's Golden Globes, so start right now.
Subscribe to Gold Derby Breaking News Alerts & Experts' Latest Oscar Predictions
Gold Derby's combined racetrack odds favor Malek to win the Golden Globe with 8/13 odds. USA's freshman drama has taken the TV landscape by storm in recent months, with Malek earning nominations at the Globes, Critics' Choice and SAG Awards. As mentally unstable computer hacker Elliot Alderson, Malek's performance is one that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association may not be able to ignore.
Hamm (14/5 odds) has been waiting to give his Golden Globes speech for eight years, ever since he won for the first season of AMC's "Mad Men" during the ceremony that didn't air because of the writer's strike. Will he now win a bookend trophy for the show's closing season and finally have the chance to give his long-awaited Globes speech for playing ad man Don Draper?
Wagner Moura, star of Netflix's "Narcos," is in third place with 10/1 odds. This new series about Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar embraces the "foreign" aspect of the HFPA and voters may want to stand behind a show that's not entirely in English. Also of note: Moura and Malek are the only nominees whose shows are also nominated, which indicates wider support.
Bob Odenkirk ("Better Call Saul") follows in fourth place with odds of 40/1. This "Breaking Bad" spinoff may face an uphill battle at the Globes considering it wasn't until that show's final season that the HFPA finally rewarded it. However, in Odenkirk's favor is the fact that he's a recent Emmy nominee and Critics' Choice winner for his performance as slimy lawyer Jimmy McGill.
In fifth place to win with 66/1 odds is Liev Schreiber, who plays the titular "Ray Donovan." The Globes have a unique relationship with this Showtime drama, as supporting player Jon Voight won in 2013 and Schreiber is on his third consecutive nomination, however "Ray Donovan" has never been nominated as Best Drama Series.

I am playing with my newest toy, Windows Home Server (WHS), and I must say that this is by far the niftiest "little" piece of home software I have had my hands on (I may review it later - but if you don't know it then download the trial version and install, find your add-ins here and especially look at the Webguide for Windows Home Server and the Avast Professional Family Pack, which includes a WHS add-in).
To save power and space I have setup a portable computer with an external harddrive and now I was surfing around to find out how power management works with WHS.
There where different more or less clever solutions from shutting down at midnight and then using a timer device to turn it on again to more advanced solutions, but by far the best solution I found is using the built-in features of Windows Server 2003 together with a portable computer (In my Case a Dell D830 with 3 GB RAM, Core 2 Duo and 160 GB 7200 RPM disks).
These built-in features are explained and detailed in the whitepaper How to Enable Processor Power Management in Windows Server 2003 and applies of course to all server versions (I have used it before on my Shuttle that I use for Virtual Server labs with standard Windows Server 2003).
Another add-in I used was Marcel Nouwens free AutoExit 2008 for Windows Home Server that can do Wake-On-Lan (Perfect for my Shuttle) and handle remote shutdown, reboots, send messages or even open a Remote Desktop session) - so now I almost have my perfect home network / WHS solution running (I'm still awaiting a few add-ins so I can remotely stream MCE recorded TV (Should release in late January) and a add-in for total Desktop Management, I need my 802.11n to run better and the list continues endlessly ;-)
