In 1949, when Lo was ill, his father sent him to see Cheng Man-ch'ing, a well-known artist and practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.

And 5) Maintaining the hand like a beautiful lady's hand." Above all, he emphasized the need for practice.

Benjamin Roesch

Sebastian Frank (November 6th, 1981 in Mödling, Austria), is an austrian Chef. He is the headchef & owner of 2-Michelinstar restaurant Horváth in Berlin, Germany. 
Frank grew up in Bruck an der Leitha (Austria) and learned the culinary trade at Hotel Wende in Neusiedl am See. In the late 1990s, he worked at the restaurant of the Burgtheater, followed by stints at the Vestibül restaurants and, from 2003 to 2006, at the highly acclaimed Steirereck in Vienna under headchef Heinz Reitbauer. He then moved to the Chef’s Table restaurant at the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol in Telfs as a sous chef. At the Interalpen-Hotel, he met his partner, Jeannine Kessler from Berlin, who worked there in the service. In early 2010, he followed Kessler when she returned to Berlin.Michael Bravandi:Von Bruck nach Berlin. In: Niederösterreichische Nachrichten online from 7 May 2013
In May 2010, Frank became the head chef at Horváth on Paul-Lincke-Ufer in Berlin-Kreuzberg. A year later, under his leadership, the kitchen received a Michelin star, making him Berlin's youngest head chef of a starred restaurant at the age of 30. In early 2014, he took over Horváth together with his partner Kessler. In 2016, the restaurant was awarded a second Michelin star. In 2018, Frank was names best European Chef at the Madrid Fusion Awards.In April 2019, Sebastian Frank published his first cookbook with Matthaes.
Since 2022, Frank no longer serves physical pieces of Meat or Fish in his menu. Sebastian Frank places vegetables at the center of his dishes, but seasons them with meat and fish flavours, such as pork fat or bone broth. He avoids luxury ingredients and uses products he grew up with in his native Lower Austria. He has coined his philosophy 'emancipated vegetable cuisine', which is supposed to demarcate that his dishes are free of dogmas or traditions, and do not necessarily have to be vegetarian or vegan. The flavour pairings of the vegetable and whether the dish includes animal fats is entirely reliant on the context of that dish.
In 2023, Horváth was awarded 5 Toques by the Gault & Millau guide, the highest ranking available. The critics said that 'Sebastian Frank breaks from the assumed traditional constraints of haute cuisine, offering one of the most uniquely individual menus in Germany'.
In 2022, Frank was featured in the second Season of public network ARD's show about renowned fine-dining chefs in Germany; 'Am Pass'.
Frank has become internationally renowned for his signature dish 'Celeriac Ripe & Young', which features a celeriac root, which has been aged for 12 months in a salt-dough, creating a concentrated, crystalline, and rock-hard celeriac root, which is shaved like a truffle to season the rest of the dish.

Benjamin Singleton (Australian settler)

Benjamin Singleton (1788–1853) was a free settler, miller, and European land exploration of Australia in the early period of British colonisation. He was born in England on 7 August 1788 and arrived in the Colony of New South Wales on 14 February 1792 in the Pitt, a convict ship. His father, William, had been sentenced for seven years to transportation, and had brought his wife and two sons with him. An older son, James, arrived as a free settler in 1808.
==Career as a miller==
James and Benjamin built and operated several water-driven flour mills in the following years.
==Exploration==
In October 1817, Benjamin Singleton set out with a party of men including John Howe (Australian settler), William Parr and Aboriginal guides to find a route, suitable for wagons, to the Hunter River (New South Wales). They almost reached the Hunter Valley before turning back. In April 1818 he led a private expedition to the Hunter which was also unsuccessful. 
When, in 1819, John Howe (Australian settler) managed to reach the Hunter, he followed in part the route discovered by Singleton and Parr. He had discovered some fine grazing land, but Howe was dissatisfied with the route.
In February, 1820, John Howe left Windsor with a party of fifteen, including Benjamin Singleton and two Aboriginal guides. By following the advice of the guides they were able to find a route which became known as the Bulga, New South Wales. On 15 March they reached the Hunter, and followed its course upstream as far as Maitland, New South Wales. For his part in this expedition Singleton was granted , part of which became the site of the town of Singleton, New South Wales.
==Later occupations==
Singleton used his land for grazing cattle while pursuing other activities. He was appointed to be a district constable, and continued his mill building business. He also built a horse-drawn boat, which was not a commercial success.
==Death==
He died on 2 May 1853, leaving a wife and ten children, and was buried in the Whittingham, New South Wales cemetery, near Singleton.
==Singleton Council==
The Singleton Council publishes a brochure about Benjamin Singleton, and displays a copy on its website. It contains the story of his life and includes a photograph of the plaque on his grave. The plaque describes him as "Pioneer of the Hunter District and Founder of the Town of Singleton". It recounts that, in 1837, he donated land for a market square, which is now known as Burdekin Park.
