See the heartwarming gift The Rock gave his dad for Christmas

Dwayne Johnson got his wrestling genes from his grandfather, the late High Chief Peter Maivia, and his dad, Rocky Johnson, two superstars in their own right.
On Christmas, The Rock passed on some goodwill to his father.

Check out the sweet ride

Bought my dad a Christmas gift and surprised him. He's had a hard life. This one felt good. My dad, Rocky Johnson is a minimalist. Always has been. Never asks me for much and over the years his needs are always the barest. Crazy story, my dad's dad died when he was 13yrs old. That Christmas, my dad's mom had her new boyfriend over for Christmas dinner. Her boyfriend got drunk and pissed on the turkey. My dad went outside, got a shovel, drew a line in the snow and said if you cross that line I'll kill you. The drunk crossed it and my dad laid him out cold as a block of ice. Cops were called. They told my dad's mom that when her boyfriend regains consciousness, he's gonna kill your son so one of them has got to go. In front of the entire family, my dad's mom looked at him and said get out. He was 13yrs old and now homeless. That f*cked up true story happened in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1954. He needed the bare minimum then, just like does now. Over the years, I've moved him into a big home, got him trucks to drive - which he'll literally drive into the ground until I get him something else. Hell, I'll get him anything he wants, but the SOB just won't ask;). Every Christmas, I always think about that story and my dad having every odd stacked against him at 13, but he fought thru it and still made something of himself. Makes me appreciate his struggle and hard work. Also, makes me appreciate the fun times he would beat my ass in the gym so bad when I was 13 and say "If you're gonna throw up, go outside.. and if you're gonna cry, then go home to your mother". I hated it then, but I embrace it now. Made a man outta me. Without pissing on my turkey. 😂👍🏾. Just a small way of saying thank you dad and Merry Christmas! #DwantaClaus🎅🏾

Pogba, Martial earn vintage win for Man United with 2 goals in less than 90 seconds

Manchester United made it five consecutive wins on Saturday, mounting an impressive victory against Middlesbrough. It wasn’t that they beat Boro that made it so impressive, it was how they beat them. The Red Devils channeled a vintage come-from-behind performance to fend off the visitors.

United were the better team for the balance of the match and even had a sublime effort from Zlatan Ibrahimovic shamefully waved off. A goal in the 67th minute from Boro looked like a classic smash-and-grab job, and all the momentum United had built in the previous month seemed squandered.
But an equalizer from Anthony Martial, off a perfectly placed header from Ibrahimovic, put United back on the front foot.

Apple (AAPL) to Cut iPhone Production 10% in Q1 2017

This would be the second year in a row for cuts. In last year's first quarter, the company cut production due to excess inventory of the iPhone 6s at the end of 2015.

This coming quarter data suggests production cuts in both the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus. While the iPhone 7 Plus is popular with customers, a shortage of camera sensors has impacted the company's ability to meet demand, the report said.

Police make 50 arrests after raid on Nigerian drug ring in Vienna, Austria

Police in Vienna on Thursday, December 29th, arrested 50 people in connection with a Nigerian drug ring which operated in the Austrian capital. Investigators said they had been on the trail of the gang for the past three years, and that in that time it has netted a profit of over €6 million. 21 kilos of illegal drugs, mainly cocaine and heroin, were seized during the raids.
However, police told a press conference on Friday that the gang would probably cut the drugs with other substances to increase the amount that could be sold on the street to around 100 kilos. The drugs were mainly sold in Vienna by Nigerian dealers. Detective Georg Rabensteiner said that 100 kilos of drugs would "cover" demand in Vienna for a few months.

How did this driver hit 236 consecutive green lights?

Is it possible to hit more than three(3) green lights in a roll?

If you're an urban driver, you probably feel lucky after hitting two green lights in a row.

But on December 3, New York Uber driver Noah Forman hit not one or two in a row, but 236.

His interest in beating the traffic system started in 2014 when he saw a video of a driver hitting 55 straight green lights.

"I just thought I could totally beat that," Foreman told CNN. "After a few years of driving, you notice a pattern."

Foreman had been driving a Yellow Cab since 2005 and gained notoriety in 2014 when he posted a video of himself hitting more than 100 lights in a row to YouTube.

EU Parliament official: No postpones for visa-free regime actually

We have succeeded in creating a more flexible and operational tool, while ensuring respect for human rights and a key role for the European Parliament.

His report was approved by 485 votes to 132 with 21 abstentions.

Most speakers agreed that this is "a matter of principle" and stressed that EU rules require the Commission to present a delegated act to suspend an EU visa waiver if the country to which it was granted not offer full visa reciprocity to citizens of all EU member states.

The EU will enforce the nine-month visa suspension mechanism with the possibility of its further extension based on "relevant and objective data". This decision will take effect automatically. "There were no official decisions made, as the date still can be changed", the European Union parliament officials told the UNIAN reporter. This transfer would need to be approved by both Parliament and the Council.

Iran jails twelve fashion bloggers and social media models for 'spreading prostitution and a Western-style culture of nudity'

Authorities in Iran have jailed eight women and four men for up to six years on a charge of 'spreading prostitution and a Western-style culture of nudity'.

They were also banned from working in the fashion industry and barred from going abroad after being sentenced in the Iranian city of Shiraz.
They were accused of 'encouraging prostitution' and 'promoting corruption' by publishing 'obscene' online and spreading a 'Western-style culture of nudity' that was designed to corrupt Muslims, the court heard.
They face jail terms of between five months and six years but their lawyer, Mahmoud Taravat said his clients denied the charges and are planning to appeal.

Edinburgh West MP tells story of how she was raped at 14

UK politician, Michelle Thompson, moved colleagues to tears when she told them that she was raped at the age of 14 by a man she knew. She made this revelation in the House of Commons, telling them that the man who raped her was someone she knew and trusted and the incident occurred one evening when he offered to walk her home.

 "He told me he wanted to show me something in a wooded area and at that point, I must admit, I was alarmed. I did have a warning bell - but I overrode that warning bell because I knew him and therefore there was a level of trust in place.” The former professional musician recounted. She recalled walking home afterwards crying and in shock.

 As with most rape cases, Ms. Thompson said she told no one about it but kept it bottled up and she blamed herself for what had happened.

 "I felt I was spoiled and impure and really felt revulsion towards myself.”

She has now come to terms with the incident and bravely stated;

 “I am not a victim, I’m a survivor.”
