It is Thursday, May 16, 2013. Babies who are born today will have the star sign Taurus. The summer of 2013 has finally arrived. The weather has warmed up, and the evenings are brighter than usual. The school year is nearly finished.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie Iron Man 3 is at the top of the box office. David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are continuing to close their doors at the moment.

The world is shocked by news that Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Georgina DeJesus have been found alive in Cleveland, Ohio after 11 years of being missing. The three women had been imprisoned by a man called Ariel Castro up until recently, when Amanda Berry and her daughter managed to escape and alert authorities.
