[...] Link to assignment I have learned that the current events we write about may not be older than 3 days. We are supposed to write about acceptable topics. An acceptable topic is about something that is world news, going to be in the History books for at least 10 years. Here are some examples: Acceptable: Middle-East conflict, a major earthquake, a major volcano eruption and who is going to host the 2014 Olympics. Unacceptable: Fashion news, a new dolphin show at Seaworld, the new computer games. (Or that the World War II has ended.) [...]

They have both agreed to go to their original positions and have continued talks with each other.
