The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) gather statistics on hate crimes from local law enforcement agencies throughout the country. This article explores the UCR data on hate crimes for the six most recent years available.

Twins Revel in Most Colorful 100th birthday ever!

These 100-year-old twin sisters are like fine wine – they are only getting better with age.

Maria and Paula Pignaton just became centenarians together; so, they celebrated by having the cutest, most colorful photoshoot imaginable.

Complete with a pink Volkswagen, balloons, flowers, cakes, and crowns, these ladies rang in their new year in style.

The pictures were captured by photographer Camila Lima of Ibiraçu, Brazil. Since she loves inspiring others by taking photos of elderly couples, she knew she had to capture the magic of the twin sisters.

According to Inside Edition, Maria and Paula are both great-grand-parents. Though Paula has suffered from some health problems in the past, the two women are always there for each other – and will continue to be there for each other until their next fabulous birthday celebration.

*Long Live Love

Halima Aden made history by being the first hijabi model to grace the cover of Vogue.
She was photographed wearing various black-and-white outfits with matching headscarves for Vogue Arabia's June issue, which includes a theme that celebrates identity.
Aden shared the news on Instagram with a photo caption that reads: "That surreal and dreamlike feeling the moment you see yourself on the cover of Vogue Arabia cannot be explained! ... I'm beyond appreciative for the opportunity to grace the June cover!"

Little girl thinks this bride is the princess from her favorite book, and it's adorable

A toddler on a walk with her mother in Seattle in February mistook a bride for a storybook princess.

Newlyweds Shandace and Scott Robertson were taking wedding photos in February when they encountered Kelsey Edwards and her daughter, who were walking back from a cupcake treat.

The girl, captivated by Robertson's beauty, thought the bride was the "princess" on the cover of the book she was holding, The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, which is currently her favorite book. (Shout out to this little girl for appreciating novels by the way.)

Edwards compared what her daughter experienced to "meeting one of your idols on the street."
