Big hit! lottery in Taiwan

Three lucky buyers of public interest lottery tickets share the record NT$1.9 billion jackpot , with each one NT$ 6 million richer yesterday!
The top prize money for each winner was the second highest on record, lower only than the NT$ 8 million won exclusively by a single person in the past.
The winning numbers were 1, 4, 7, 8, 25, 31 plus special number of 33.

"Did you buy a lottery?" That was the way people said hello in Taiwan yesterday.

"How much you winned?" That could be the most popular conversation in this morning.

Beat

In rock music there is a distinct and almost overwhelming beat.
No single beat is characteristic of the music today.
But each song has an easily recognizable rhythm.
As you listen to a song your foot usually starts to pick up the beat.
Before long, your entire body seems to move with it.
Your head pounds with the beat, and there is no room for thought.
Only the surge of the music is important.
In its own way, rock music is as dominant as the rock Gibraltar.
Its message is an overpowering emotional one.
