Title	On a generic hyperplane section of certain singular schemes over a field
Abstract	I will explain why a generic hyperplane section of a log-smooth scheme over a type of log-point is again log-smooth. A special case is that of toric singularities. We will make use of the language of logarithmic structures (in the sense of Fontaine-Illusie-Kato) and so we will give a brief introduction to this language.
