India rape sets off debate over womens rights By By RAVI NESSMAN | Associated Press 18 hrs ago NEW DELHI (AP) Indias army and navy canceled New Years celebrations on Monday out of respect for a New Delhi student whose gang-rape and murder has set off an impassioned debate about what the nation needs to do to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. Protesters and politicians have called for tougher rape laws, major police reforms and a transformation in the way the country treats its women. To change a society as conservative, traditional and patriarchal as ours, we will have a long haul, said Ranjana Kumari, director of the Center for Social Research. It will take some time, but certainly there is a

demanding swift government action. So much needs to be done to end the oppression of women, said Murarinath Kushwaha, a man whose two friends were on a hunger strike to draw attention to the issue. Some commentators compared the

rape victim, whose name has not been released by police, to Mohamed

Korean-English Interpretation TOPIC 1 This year, the cold spell has arrived more than a month earlier than expected.

Temperatures will remain below minus 10 degrees Celsius during January. Electricity use for heating will soar at homes and workplaces. To make matters worse, electricity is now the most popular source of heating, not just for people, but also for animals and crops. Its no surprise that electricity is gaining popularity as a source of heating. Burning oil for one week costs the same amount of money as using electricity for one month. It will become very difficult to meet the nations electricity demand. The biggest tool of the government and those in charge of the power grid is having big consumers factories and large buildings reduce their power usage during peak hours. The

government makes up for their losses. This method, obviously, is very costly. The most effective and affordable way to deal with the electricity crisis is voluntary power conservation by citizens. If families and businesses used 25% less electricity for heating, the nation would be able to ride out the tough period. It would be of great help if they could reduce electricity consumption only during peak hours.
