ROME — Mother Teresa, who dedicated her life to helping India's poor, will be made a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican said Friday. She will likely be canonized in September to coincide with the 19th anniversary of her death and  Pope Francis' Holy Year of Mercy , according to an Italian Catholic newspaper report. The pontiff marked his 79th birthday on Thursday by approving a decree that the nun had performed a second miracle 11 years after her death, the Vatican confirmed in a statement. She was beatified in 2003 as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta for healing an Indian woman's tumor through divine intervention, but full sainthood requires the declaration of two miracles. Her Missionaries of Charity helped the poor on the streets of the city, now known as Kolkata. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. "We are all absolutely delighted about the news," Sister Ita of the Missionaries of Charity told NBC News from its headquarters in the center

According to NUPENG, security operatives who should have been deployed to fight Boko Haram, kidnapping and armed robbery that are making life unbearable for Nigerians are now working at filling stations thus causing confusion there.

Baba Vanga predicted many things before she passed away in 1996 at age 85, but it’s only in hindsight that we see that so many of her predictions came true. Not only did she predict 9/11, saying that “two steel birds” would take the towers down, but she also predicted that an African-American man would be the 44th President of the United States (yep, Obama). She foresaw the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami and warned of climate change and the polar ice caps melting in the 1950s. In her 50-year-long career Baba Vanga made hundreds of predictions.  Known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans,” her visions have had roughly an 85% accuracy rate, which is very high and totally terrifying. What’s most concerning about her visions is what Baba Vanga foresaw in the next few years. Here’s a roundup of those predictions: 1-Baba Vanga warned of an invasion of Europe by Muslim extremists in 2016. 2-By 2043, Baba Vanga foresaw a large Muslim caliphate with Rome as its epicenter. She was already

A sexually active 91-year-old Portuguese widower was found dead in her bed after a sex game gone wrong. She was naked from the waist down with a sex toy placed on her side. In Aveiro, a small town south of Porto, Portugal, her neighbors described the woman as having “an affinity for cracking jokes with men and [being] very active despite her age.” Jornal de Noticias, a Portuguese newspaper, reported that the elderly woman was found with injuries inside her genitals, presumably caused by the sex toy she was flanking. She was found by her neighbor Ana Martins who said, “I noticed only two small bruises on her face, but there was blood on the sheets and a picture of her husband resting on her chest.” The man she lay with was identified as her next-door neighbor, a married father of two children, through a DNA analysis of his semen at the scene of her death. He was apprehended and eventually released on bail. The woman is believed to have suffocated during their sex game, and t
