HKDBF-NY, an international, multi-cultural celebration and sporting event, the largest multicultural Festival in New York and the largest festival of its kind in the U.S. HKDBF-NY keeps up the age old tradition of Dragon Boat Racing in colorful, custom made teak boats, which are virtual works of art gliding on water. Custom made by a small coterie of craftsmen in Hong Kong, weighing one ton each, colorfully painted with a Dragon head at the front and Dragon tail at the rear, the boats are piloted by up to 20 crewmen, including 18 paddlers, a drummer and steers person.

For twenty-nine successful years HKDBF-NY has attracted a diverse, multi-cultural audience of more than 20,000 attendees throughout North America. This year with 100+ teams participating involving more than 1,000 competitors from across the U.S. and Canada, this year’s festival is expected to be notable for it’s 2 day return, scale and fierce competition.

The tradition of Dragon Boat Racing is an annual Chinese rite commemorating the idealistic poet and performer Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the third century B.C. to protest against his emperor’s policies. The locals raced in their boats in an attempt to rescue the poet. To prevent fish and water dragons from eating his body, the locals beat their drums and splashed their paddles. This was the beginning of Dragon Boat Racing.

為什麼 中國 大陸 過去 幾天 大大 減少 了 感染 人數
China has significantly reduced the number of infections in the past few days.

除了 戴 口罩 勤 洗手 外 ，
Besides wearing masks and washing hands

他們 只是 簡單 地 每天 漱口 3 次 鹽水
They also gargle salt water 3 times a day

完成 後 ， 喝水 5 分鐘。
After that, drink warm water for 5 minutes

因為 該 病毒 只能 在 喉嚨 中 侵襲 ，
Because the virus initially only attacks the throat

然後 再 侵襲 肺部
Then attack the lungs

當 受到 鹽水 侵襲 時.
When hit by salt water

該 病毒 會 死亡 或 胃中 胃中 下來 並 在 胃中 銷毀,
The virus will die or descend and disintegrate in the stomach

這 是 預防 冠狀 病毒 流行 的 唯一 方法 ，
This is one way to prevent Covid19 .

市場 上 沒有 藥品
There is no medicine on the market
所以 不要 購買。
No need to buy

童 綜合 王叔 昂 醫師 醫師 ：
The General Hospital stated

新 冠 肺炎 在 還 沒有 來到 肺部 之前,
cough, Before the corona / virus reaches the lungs

它 會 在 喉嚨 部位 存活 4 天
The virus lives in the throat for 4 days

在 這個 時候 ， 人們 會 開始 咳嗽 及 喉痛。
At this time, the infected start to cough & sore throat.

如果 他 能 儘量 喝多 溫 開水 及 或,
If you can drink as much warm water as possible

就能 消滅 病菌。
Can eliminate viruses

儘快 把 此 訊息 轉達 一下 ，
Hurry and spread this message.

因爲 你 會 救 他人 一 命！
Because you will save someone’s life

Section. His footballing prowess soon brought him to the attention of the Station Manager and Saville was selected for The Royal Air Force Football Team which played matches against amateur and semi-professional German teams throughout the region. A great English Patriot, Saville said of his experience in the Air Force, “It was two of the happiest years of my life.”
When he left the RAF, Saville joined the firm of Esbee Gold, a manufacturer of Woman’s Fashions. He serviced retail and wholesale customers the length and breadth of Great Britain. At the same time he was offered a professional trial at Tottenham Hotspur but never went and joined the senior amateur football club Wingate FC, where for 10 years he topped the scoring ranks averaging 20-30 goals a season. The Great Britain selectors duly noted his talent and he was selected for the 1961 Maccabiah Games in Israel. He was top scorer during the tournament and Britain won its only ever Gold Medal with Saville scoring both goals against the host nation in a 2-1 victory in Haifa. The winning goal against Israel was probably the strangest one he ever scored. The ball was headed out of the box from a corner and as it bounced he back-heeled it hard on the half-volley from 20 yards out and it flew past the keeper into the top corner of the net. He won silver at the 1965 Maccabiah Games. Saville scored over 350 goals during his playing career.
Later in the 1960s he started his own fashion business in Commercial Road and for over 30 years brought his own creative innovations to the world of fashion. He married his beloved wife Sheila in 1966 just a few weeks before England won the World Cup and they were married for 53 years. After retiring from football he took up squash and made it to the final of the All-London Maccabi Open Championship. He later took up tennis and represented Great Britain Seniors in Spain and at the 1997 Maccabiah.
Into his eighties he was still super fit, swimming 80-100 lengths every day. Saville was respected and held in the highest esteem in the fashion industry and in the football world and by all those fortunate enough to have encountered this wonderful, kind, compassionate man. He never forgot his humble beginnings in East London. In December 2019 he enjoyed one of his proudest moments, accompanying his wife of 53 years Sheila and daughter in law Mary to Buckingham Palace to watch his son Jason’s MBE investiture by Prince William, for services to Football Education and Youth with Disabilities. In keeping with his father’s legacy of giving and community spirit, Jason has launched The Covid Comfort Angels initiative to bring comfort and solace to those who are also mourning and have relatives in hospital. http://thejosephskakunproject.org/covid-comfort-angels/ Saville Shela had the ability to bring out the best attributes in everyone he met in sports and in life, he truly was a man for all seasons.
