Alain Bashung ( born Alain Baschung 1 December 1947 – 14 March 2009) was a French singer, songwriter and actor.
In France, he is considered one of the most famous singers in French chanson and French rock.
He rose to prominence in the early 1980s with hit songs such as "Gaby oh Gaby" and "Vertige de l'amour", and later had a string of hit successes from the 1990s onward, such as "Osez Joséphine", "Ma petite entreprise" or "La nuit je mens".
He has had an influence on many later French artists, and is the most awarded artist in the Victoires de la Musique history with 12 victoires obtained throughout his career.
Alain Baschung (he later dropped the "c" from his surname) was the son of a Breton mother working in a rubber factory and an Algerian father, whom he never knew.
His mother remarried, and at the age of one, Bashung was sent to Wingersheim, near Strasbourg to live with his stepfather's parents.
He spent his childhood in the countryside, in a rather conservative environment, alongside a grandmother who did not speak French.
He discovered music during his childhood, notably Kurt Weill's Mahagonny, and began to practice with a Rosebud harmonica offered to him when he was five. He also practiced basketball and cycling and sang in the church choir of Wingersheim.
He came back to Paris in 1959, where he discovered the great chanson artists, and then rock artists such as Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly (whom he admired deeply), and Elvis Presley.
While studying (before dropping out after he was awarded a BTS in accountancy from the École nationale de commerce in 1965), he formed a band called Les Dunces playing folk music and rockabilly.
On 1 January 2009, Bashung was made Chevalier (Knight) of the Légion d'honneur. On 28 February 2009, he received three prestigious Victoires de la Musique awards for his final album Bleu pétrole.
The 2009 award ceremony was his last public appearance. He appeared frail, but still performed "Résidents de la République." He won the Best male artist of the year, Best album and Best tour awards.
Bashung died in Paris on 14 March 2009 from lung cancer at the age of 61 at the Hôpital Saint-Joseph in Paris.
After a religious ceremony at the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, he was buried on 20 March 2009 in the Père Lachaise Cemetery.

If you have been affected by sexual abuse, speaking to a member of our team may be the first time that you have discussed your experience. This is common among our clients, many of whom wish to approach the matter away from the attention of family and friends.
At Hampson Hughes Solicitors, we offer confidentiality at all times. Whatever your situation, we're ready to talk you through your sexual abuse claim and your legal options with regards to accessing additional support, and if you wish, considering whether to pursue a sexual abuse compensation claim.
Following any instance of sexual abuse, you may experience a range of emotions. You could feel conflicted – wishing to act but not wishing to bring attention to yourself – or not wanting to be responsible for the consequences that the abuser may face, but believing that their actions should be recognised.
At Hampson Hughes, our sexual abuse claim solicitors are experienced in supporting sexual abuse victims, and understand that in response to this conflict of emotions, there are many common coping strategies:
What is important to remember is that a coping strategy is not typically a permanent solution. If you feel that you are ready to begin your sexual abuse claim, we can help. We have a team of experienced sexual abuse solicitors, so depending on your circumstances, we could help you to access specialist services that offer dedicated support in cases of sexual abuse. For further information on how we could help, contact us today.

With regards to a sexual abuse claim, examples of non-physical sexual abuse include:
For anyone who has suffered sexual abuse and is considering making a legal claim, one of their main concerns may be with regards to what time limits apply to their claim. The usual limit for personal injury claims is 3 years, but this is extended to 3 years from their 18th birthday if the incident occured when they were a child.
However it must be remembered that Courts have a discretion to dis-apply any time limit. In matters involving sexual abuse this is often the case so please do not let this stop you getting in touch with our expert legal team to receive confidential and sensitive legal advice.

Award winning Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, says Nigerian musician Wizkid is not a superstar.
Shatta in an interview with Kasapa fm says he doesn't see anything extraordinary about wizkid. This, he said was contrary to the popular notion most of his colleagues have about the artist.
"We are living a life where upcoming youths are watching people get surprised of my achievement because they don't have mind to elevate themselves.
"I don't see wizkid to be too much for me but most of my ghanaians and ghanaian colleagues see him like that.
"But i want wizkid to see me and be like wow not otherwise because what is talking is your pocket, property, investment.
"I don't see anything extraordinary about him, even though he claims to the best African artiste.
"Don't come and wear a chain which is fake and come and say we the biggest artistes in Africa ,we are number 1.

The top 1% of Medicare patients account for 20% of the total cost of Medicare. The top 5% account for 50% . This is the greatest threat to the US government finances, scarcely discussed, after the profligate funding of futile foreign wars. And now the huge Baby Boomer population is starting to have a threatening effect on the cost of Medicare, potentially blowing the budget, just as Republicans are planning to reduce taxes!
The high costs, to be fair, are caused by a moving population of people with serious conditions, who cost a lot for a few months , then revert to "normal", that is, if they don't die in hospital. But there are some patients with chronic conditions of multiple co-occurring conditions who are treated for months. The doctors dare not end the treatment for fear of legal challenges, and relatives won't let the sick person go. The taxpayer is stuck with the bill.
It will come as no surprise to learn that the very people who advocate spending less on the poor through Medicaid, are the biggest consumers of publically funded Medicare, ready to call a lawyer at a moment's notice, and eager to fund research into ever longer lives for themselves – as long as they don't have to pay for it out of their own pockets.
Surprisingly, under Republican rule, seniors will have to pay a larger share in 2018 for Medicare the richer they are ( as defined by their 2016 Federal tax returns). Higher premiums will be paid for both Medicare Part B and Part D for individuals with modified adjusted gross income which exceeds
$85,000.00, and married couples with joint incomes above $170,000.00. (I have tried to understand the Medicare website setting out the new arrangements, but it is written by an illiterate and, to me, it is incomprehensible. I will not try to list the new rules because you won't probably understand them either).
The point is that there is a segment of the (well-off) population for whom no amount of public money is enough to keep them alive. Rationing is anathema for them, but reducing even basic healtthcare for the poor is apparently fine by them. It is one thing to help someone recover from acute injury, but long-term cognitive impairment should be a matter for intelligent discussion between doctors and family. Keeping alheimers patients alive at all costs is cruel to everyone ( I have personal experience). End-of-life is end- of-life. If relatives want to extend it, they should make a major contribution towards the cost, not expect the taxpayer to pay out with no end in sight.
And yet…and yet…. Americans are under the illusion that American medical care is the best in the world, even though US life expectancy is lower than all the other OECD countries.
Tomorrow: Medicare for all?

Lisse is a town and municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. The most popular attraction in Lisse is Keukenhof, open only during spring when the tulips are flowering. Also each spring a flower parade called the Bollenstreek Bloemencorso is held through the main streets of Lisse. Between 1634 and 1637, the enthusiasm for the new flowers triggered a speculative frenzy now known as the tulip mania. Tulip bulbs became so expensive that they were treated as a form of currency, or rather, as futures. The Dutch produce 4.32 billion tulip bulbs a year.

JERUSALEM — Israel sent a letter to the United Nations secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, on Friday, defending the credibility of its internal military investigation into the Israeli Army's conduct during last winter's Gaza war.
The 40-page document was the first official Israeli response to a harshly critical United Nations study called the Goldstone report and formed part of Israel's effort to stave off accusations of war crimes.
But the document did not address the possibility of an independent, nonmilitary commission of inquiry, as called for by the United Nations report into the war and by many concerned parties in Israel and abroad.
A copy released by the Israeli Foreign Ministry late Friday outlined the findings so far of various kinds of military investigations into several episodes. Among the conclusions, Israel stated that "the strategies adopted by Hamas, and in particular its systematic entrenchment in the heart of civilian areas, created profound operational dilemmas." The document also declared that in complex combat situations, errors of judgment, even with tragic results, did not necessarily mean that war crimes had occurred.
The Israeli government has been considering the establishment of some kind of judicial investigative committee. While some prominent Israelis favor one, others have been opposed, including the defense minister, Ehud Barak. "All of the soldiers and officers whom we sent into battle need to know," Mr. Barak said Friday, "that the State of Israel stands behind them, also the day after."Continue reading the main story
The report, which was published in September, accused mainly Israel, but also Hamas, which controls Gaza, of possible war crimes during the three-week war. It was researched and written by a fact-finding mission created by the Human Rights Council and led by the respected international jurist Richard J. Goldstone, a South African judge and veteran war crimes prosecutor. In November, the General Assembly endorsed the Goldstone report and asked the secretary general to report back by Feb. 5 on Israeli and Palestinian progress in investigating their respective roles in the war.
Among other things, the report accused Israel of deliberate attacks against the civilian population of Gaza and of willful destruction of civilian infrastructure, a violation of international law.
Up to 1,400 Gazans were killed, including hundreds of civilians. Israel rejected the Goldstone report as biased.
The Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, said that the Palestinian government had delivered a letter to the secretary general saying it had established a special commission that would review the accusations raised in the Goldstone report and carry out whatever investigations the commission deemed necessary.
The report accused Hamas of firing rockets into Israel from Gaza, and Hamas said separately that it had responded to the United Nations demands for an investigation by calling Israeli civilian deaths a "mistake."
The report called for "appropriate investigations that are independent and in conformity with international standards" into what it called "serious violations" of international law.
If no good-faith, independent investigations were under way within six months, the report recommended, the Security Council should refer the Gaza case to the International Criminal Court.
Many in Israel argue that the military investigation is not enough. Israel's attorney general, Menachem Mazuz, said Israel was at risk of "Serbianization," even though he considered the Goldstone report biased.
"Therefore, I believe that Israel has a clear interest in conducting a serious, expert examination that will deal with the report and produce an opposing report," Mr. Mazuz said in an interview published Friday in the newspaper Haaretz.Continue reading the main story

Switch Zoo: animal mashup
Have you heard of a mashup activity? The basic idea is you combine two products to make a new one. Classic example is a phone and computer and, boom, you have a smart phone. Using mashup in the classroom is a great way to warm up the creative juices. One technique is to have students mashup products that come from specific spaces. For example, mash up products in the living room (e.g. couch + extension cord = couch extension cord for powering iPad) or classroom (e.g. smart board + student desk = smartboard desks).
Last week a teacher shared a cool mashup program for animals called
Switch Zoo
. With this application you can mash up different animal body parts. As you pick different animals you learn about their habitat and behaviors. A great follow up is students creating an animal biography explaining the animal's mashup adaptations and how they impact survival and ecosystem impact.

On the occasion of World AIDS Day 2016, on the 1st of December, COCQ-SIDA* is launching a real rallying message to put an end to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Stressing the importance of collective work, collaboration and solidarity, this key message invites each and every one to learn about the reality of HIV and ways to protect themselves, and to contribute to the fight against the epidemic through donations, volunteering and pressure on public institutions and by fighting against discrimination and stigmatization.
We know now that it is possible to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic, but there is a long way to go to attain the objective set by UNAIDS for 2030, including in Quebec: invest in prevention, improve access to testing and care, adequately finance grassroot community work, support specialized lodging services etc.
Fqsida has taken ownership of this message so that it can be relayed on a large scale all over Quebec. That is why we are inviting each and every one of you to disseminate it and share it massively on social media in a campaign also aimed at challenging government bodies and elected officials so as to intensify efforts and increase investments.
* Coalition of community organizations from Quebec in the fight against AIDS

Saturday, June 18th, I convened the 13th Annual Amazon Day, a day of women only adventuring. This was also the first year with event shirts. More than half the women had Amazon Day shirts and the others were planning on getting them. They are still available at the Amazon Shop.
We returned to Kualoa Ranch for the second year and again had an amazing time. This year there were ten women, ranging in age from the twenties to the fifties. Three were second year participants and the other seven were first timers. Although one of the first timers had been waiting a whole year to attend since she was unable to make last years event.
The day started off gorgeous. It was a classically beautiful tropical day with clear turquoise water, blue sky with fluffy white clouds and the emerald green valley that makes up Kualoa Ranch. We gathered around the Amazon spear, and after the "Opening Ceremony," we were off to the gun range. We shot .22 caliber pistols and rifles down a 50 foot range. For some of the women it was their first time ever holding a firearm let alone firing one. Although all the women were more than eager to shoot, with the guidance of our Ranch Guide, Tyler, every woman had a target to be proud of. All the women had a blast. As Tyler continued to help another group of visitors, the second Gun Range Guide, Eric was a good sport and took ten pictures of our group with ten different cameras as we displayed our targets and empty firearms.
After the Gun Range, the women were pretty psyched up. Weapons fire is always a great way to start a woman's day event. We walked back down to the Visitor Center for the midday meal, after which we headed off to "Secret Island." It's such a secret that no one knew where it was. We needed a guide and Ranch employee, Shawna, graciously volunteered to show us the way. We drove down to the boat dock, where we waited for the boat to take us across the water. While we waited, we saw barracuda swimming and flipping in the water and a really cool spider web. Then Dre (sp.?) pulled up to the dock looking a little confused but in good humor. He ferried us across and joined in the friendly banter that was going back and forth between our group. Once across the island we couldn't wait to get into the kayaks and take off. Secret Island Ranch Guide, Leilani, was helpful in pulling out another kayak for us to putter around in. Of course, there was little puttering. Some of the women were a little wary about getting into the kayak, but the water was so many beautiful shades of blue stretching to the horizon, it was irresistible. We raced each other in the kayaks, snuck up on each other and splashed water and even saw a green sea turtle swimming along the reef.
After Secret Island we were ferried back across the water by Dre who by then was full in to our Amazon Day theme. He joked with us easily and honestly seemed to want to see us again next year. And he really got a kick out of our Amazon spear.
We returned to the ranch and prepared for our two hour ATV ride. We chose our helmets, those with gloves got them ready, and everyone put their hair up in something. Then we met our guides. Again we had the same two guides from last year, Mikey and Nui, but we were joined by a third guide Reuben. Mikey and Nui remembered us easily from last year. In fact they couldn't believe it had been a year. Reuben took some time to warm up to us, but we did eventually get him to smile and joke around. They took us back up into the valley, past the WWII bunker, past Godzilla's footprints and the Jurassic Park Movie set, through the gates into the Ranch proper where we had to dodge the steaming cow patties. And there were plenty of them. The cows mooed at us as we whipped by at a blazing ten miles an hour, over hills, down hills, over rocks and splashing through streams. On the way back we were treated to a quick but amazing tour of the bunker and got to view a scale model of the valley that was used for the movie Windtalkers. Then we hopped back on to the ATV's and went for a wild ride on a path over a bridge, through the high grass, over rocks and up and down hills. It was exhilarating, unexpected and the highlight of the entire day.
After we completed our day at Kualoa, many of the women were still not ready to call it a day. As one said "I don't want it to be over!" So we made a caravan into Kailua town to eat at Big City Diner, where we toasted the day and talked until after 9, long after we were all expected home. Even though we had called home to let them know where we were going, there were still many worried men that night.
It was an excellent day. All the women had fun and offer their thanks to the people at Kualoa Ranch and especially Jenny Turner for helping to make this day a great success. We were all exhausted the next day, with a few numb thumbs from the ATV. But ideas came pouring in for more Amazon events throughout the year. Jet skiing, barreling, camping, hiking, rappelling and deep sea fishing to name a few.
In Greek mythology, Amazons were strong, brave, warrior women with a taste for adventure and a will to persevere. This years women were definitely Amazons in every sense of the word. Every woman attacked every activity with gusto and held nothing back. I have been organizing this event and others like it for 13 years. I'm proud to say that this year was an extraordinary time. It only gets better every year. I suspect many of the women at this weekends event will be looking forward to next June.
It was a GREAT weekend.

On April 15, 2018, the International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Applications opened at the Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics (VIASM). The conference is organized by the VIASM, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology and the Institute of Mathematics - VAST. With 6 invited talks and 20 talks from scientists, PhD students and more than 60 participants from France, Germany, USA, and from local universities and institutes, the conference aims to create an ocasion for scientists and young researchers to exchange new research results, new directions in discrete mathematics. Invited talks and ordinary talks also show these trends, from classical graph theory to multidisciplinary relationships and real applications. Two invited talk will present the classic problems of graph theory, explore the intrinsic structure of graphs; two invited talks show the deep connection between combinatorics, graphs and other mathematical disciplines such as algebra and geometry; and two invited talk discuss the large-scale graphs, link streams and networking problems in real time.
The first session of the conference began with two invited talks given by GS. Prof. Ha Ha (Yale University) and Prof. Ingo Schiermeyer (TU Freiberg University). The conference will continue until the end of April 17th.

2017 Life Logs, Day 329: Black Saturday
Date: Saturday, November 25, 2017
Weather: Sunny; High Temp 59, Low 42 degrees F
Location: At Home in The Studio, Falmouth, MA
The rest of the country had Black Friday yesterday, but I had it today. The Black Friday annual family soccer game was postponed until today because a couple of key families were out of town yesterday. It happened this afternoon and I went to watch, but there were very few participants. Still, it looked like everyone was having fun. Heather, Jed, Sam, Jonah, and Ollie all played. They invited me to join in, but I decided that without my knee brace on it would be unwise to get out there. So I watched for a while and then left as I had online Black Saturday Christmas 'window' shopping to do. I know from my experience last year that if I wait another week to order things, they simply won't be available. And if I don't get things shipped to Puerto Rico this coming week, they won't arrive in time. Therefore, I spent the latter part of the afternoon and early evening searching for things I think the grandchildren might like. I have some ideas to run by their parents and will hopefully be ready to order sometime tomorrow. I also spent a lot of time going through the photos from the four days in Florida. I'm trying to come up with the 'best of the best' from our time there. Hopefully I will have that task completed tomorrow as well.

For the eclectic folks like myself, that use multiple operating systems, synchronization tasks are always a challenge. The data to be synchronized has to be supported by a multi-platform client.
If we're talking about utilities like Dropbox, it already supports synchronization clients for windows, Mac and Linux.
On this specific case, I wanted a decent note taking application that allowed me to sync between my Windows desktop at work and my Ubuntu laptop at home. A suggestion I found on the Web worked on file based software and Dropbox synchronizing those folders. That might work, but
I found the solution with Gnome's desktop notes application, Tomboy. It's simple, supports sticky notes, search contents and linking between notes. Good enough for some personal stuff.
The first step, if you don't have such an account, is to register on Canonical's Ubuntu One service. It gives you 5GB free storage to sync files, contacts and notes on all your Ubuntu machines. It's meant to support Windows OS soon enough.
The second step is to install Tomboy on the Windows machine. To install Tomboy on Windows, you need .NET framework and gtk-sharp installed before you can install Tomboy:
After installing Tomboy, start the application. It automatically sets up an icon on the system tray. Press the right mouse button on it and choose "Preferences".
Go to the "Synchronization" tab and select the "Tomboy Web" service. Ont the server insert the following address: https://one.ubuntu.com/notes/
Choose the interval between synchronizations. press "Save" and you're all done on the Windows box. For the Ubuntu machine, there is this detailed tutorial on notes configuration on the Ubuntu One wiki pages.

The FGN's 2019 Budget is intended to continue Nigeria's quest for inclusive growth, economic diversification and sustainable development.

Taxation of commissions payable to insurance brokers/agents – An obligation or a nightmare?
The insurance industry is one of the specialised businesses having a peculiar business model and corresponding distinct tax considerations in Nigeria. The core business of insurers/insurance companies, simply put, is to provide cover to another party (insured), against possible financial loss within a specified period. In return, the insured pays an insurance premium at the inception of the cover period, which forms part of the income reported in the books of the insurer. A critical aspect of the business expansion mechanism in the insurance industry revolves round brokers and agents. Insurance brokers/agents act as middle men; bridging the gap and linking insurers with potential insured parties seeking to hedge against risks. Insurance companies incur costs in sourcing the services of brokers/agents (commissions). Commissions are often calculated as a percentage of the insurance premium, depending on a number of factors such as coverage, the insurer and marketing methods, etc. Although the…

Regulatory Alert: Nigeria's Business Climate and Ease of Doing Business Initiatives
Nigeria is viewed by many as a country with enormous opportunities and business potentials. The sheer size of the country's population, human and natural resources as well as its diverse culture place the country in a class of potentially great nations. It is, therefore, a sad narrative when the challenges faced by businesses and entrepreneurs are considered. According to the World Bank Doing Business Report 2017, Nigeria is ranked 169 among 190 economies in the ease of doing business.

| Ukraine Joins North Korea As It Bans Country's Most Popular Social Networks
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko just issued another set of targeted sanctions against Russian Internet corporations, effectively banning Vkontakte (VK.com) and Odnoklasniki (OK.ru). VK is Ukraine's largest social network and the country's second most visited website after Google. For VK, the Ukrainian market is the second largest after Russia. The social networks were blocked because of sanctions imposed against their parent company Mail.Ru Group.
| Kiev regime takes Internet under control
On February 25 the president of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed the decree on enforcement of the decision on the doctrine of a national security.
Now the Ukrainian intelligence agencies and the Ministry of information policy which plays a role of the Ministry of the truth begin monitoring of media and the Internet regarding detection of information which can pose national threat, and also information which is forbidden in Ukraine.

Egypt's Parliament passes new NGO law, a declaration of war on civil society
by Mada Masr
Egypt's Parliament hastily approved a new NGO law on November 29, just a day after the State Council concluded it has no indications of unconstitutionality.
Parliamentarian and member of the oppositional 25-30 Coalition Haitham al-Hariry explained to Mada Masr that the law was not passed unanimously, but said it is difficult to know how many parliamentarians voted for or against it because of the absence of an electronic voting system.
| German professor dismissed from IGFM because of interviews for "News Front"
Professor of Tübingen University in the field of earth sciences and anthropometric geography Rainer Rothfuss (Rainer Rothfuß), who held a senior position in the "Human Rights International Society» (IGFM), was dismissed from his post under pressure from German politicians for interview he gave to a news agency "News Front". "News Front" is a popular internet news agency backing self-proclaimed republics in Eastern Ukraine.
"I agreed to give an interview to the "News Front", because I thought that the conflict in Ukraine has such explosive force that can even turn into a very big conflict, and even the world one. I did not want to be accused that I do not want to understand some certain things and do not use the opportunity to resolve the conflict", – Rainer Rothfuss said.
"In an interview I described the mechanisms of origin of the enemy image in this conflict. And simply closely examined the question of the role played by the NATO and the West", – the professor said.
"It was shocking that 3 hours later the interview was published on the "News Front" I has received the first threat posed by MEP Michael Haler of the CDU (Christian Democratic Union), who threatened that IGFM may seek another circle of patrons, if it is now a new course. Due to the fact that we look too critical behind the front line of these conflicts", – he said.
"I also talked about human rights violations in Ukraine, which began under the government led by Poroshenko, which we together with the department of international human rights organizations have demanded to tell the public. But it has never reached our media", – Rothfuss said.
"I was called for voluntary resign in three. All references about me on the Internet were removed only because different policies intervened in the case. And it was not just Michael Haler, and Bernd Posselt of the CSU party, which no longer represented in the European Parliament. There were others, and I have written confirmation", – the professor said.

Hi All,
First of Thank you to everyone who has been sending me PSR test results, I've received well over a 100 reports!
Quite a few testers have reported various issues when enabling PSR, 3 often reported issues are:
- flickering
- black screen
- cursor / input lag
The Intel graphics team has been working on a number of fixes which make PSR work better in various cases. Note we don't expect this to fix it everywhere, but it should get better and work on more devices in the near future.
This is good news, but the bad news is that this means that all the tests people have so very kindly done for me will need to be redone once the new improved PSR code is ready for testing. I will do a new blogpost (and email people who have send me test-reports), when the new
PSR code is ready for people to (re-)test (sorry).

Although MuscleTalk is primarily about bodybuilding and strength sports, a significant proportion of our members are involved in combat activities. There are numerous topics posted about boxing, various martial arts, MMA and wrestling. Many of our members compete in these sports which have different weight classes, therefore they will need to know how to 'make a weight' in order to compete in their desired class, whilst maintaining optimum performance in the ring.
Many fighters have to get below a target weight in order to fight in a particular weight class. Sometimes this can be a few kilos below your off-season weight, so a few weeks of strict dieting are in order to lose this excess weight, whilst at the same time, maintaining adequate energy levels and nutrition for muscle power.
The last few days is the most important time for diet manipulation in order to achieve your desired weight whilst ensuring you're pumped full of energy to perform at your best in the ring. During this time you'll be aiming to deplete your muscles of their carbohydrate stores, then reload them with quality carbs in order to super-compensate and store more than before for optimal energy. However, it's likely that many of you will be struggling to make that weight for your class for the weigh in, so you'll not be wanting to eat too many carbs else you'll be too heavy and you'll end up in the class above fighting guys a few kilos heavier than you.
On the more extreme level some of you will have to fluid manipulate as well as carb deplete in order to get the scales down - this may mean fluid restriction and manipulation of sodium (salt) intake. Below is an example meal plan a fighter may adopt on the day of the fight if he wakes up and panics that he's still got a little to lose by the time of the weigh in!
Lets assume weigh in is at 6pm but he's not due to fight to gone 8pm. He'll still be wanting to keep his energy up, else he'll feel listless in the ring and they'll have been no point to all the preparation over the past weeks. And, although he'll need to manipulate fluid intake, it's imperative that he is still adequately hydrated by the time of the fight. The key is during the day to keep carbs low (but not omit them), protein high and fluid/sodium minimal. Then post weigh-in he should consume a variety of quickly and slowly absorbed carbs and rehydrate as quickly as possible, without bloating himself causing him to feel sluggish in the ring. The plan is merely an example, but the kind of thing I have used on some of my boxing and martial art clients.
(Sip 1.5-2litres of water during the 2 hour period but do not bloat)
Nothing but water 30 mins pre-fight
After fight - have a good meal of whatever you like to replenish!
The carbs are low in quantity, regular and of low glycaemic index (GI) choices during the day. Basmati rice, sweet potato and oats (porridge) are all low GI, which means they are slowly digested and absorbed to give a more sustained release of energy, as opposed to the surge in blood sugar other carbs, like sugar, give.
Following the weigh-in carbs are a mixture of high and low GI sources. The high GI ones are to get the depleted stores up as rapidly as possible before the fight, whilst the low GI choices (oatcakes) are to stop the fighter crashing (running out of energy) in the ring, and give him the edge to fight that little bit longer; this could be the edge he needs over a faltering opponent!
He'll have partially dehydrated himself during the day in order to keep his weight down, but it's imperative that he rehydrates before the fight, as lack of fluid will limit performance more than any other nutrition inadequacy. For this reason he could make use of commercial isotonic sports drinks, aswell as sipping (so as not to bloat himself) water frequently before the fight. Lightly splashing water on the brow before the fight is a useful hydrating tip as this will help keep him cool and reduce sweating, and hence water loss, and will also help reduce the risk of sweat running into the eyes.

The Diary of a Teenage Girl: NZFF Review
There can be no doubt that The Diary of a Teenage Girl benefits greatly from a star-making turn by actress Bel Powley (last seen on NZ screens as Princess Margaret in A Royal Night Out).
This coming-of-age and sexual blossoming tale is set in 1970s San Francisco and stars Powley as Minnie, who joyfully announces her presence on screen and in life with her opening words "I had sex today. Holy shit."
In among the hazy lazy drab beiges of the 70s, we start to get more of a picture; Minnie's deflowerer is her free-lovin, coke-snorting mother's lover, Monroe (played by True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard) and she is utterly besotted with him and perhaps more importantly, the idea of being loved by him.
With the scales falling away from Minnie's eyes and life opening up to more hedonistic, if not somewhat illicit, pursuits, director Marielle Heller's take on Phoebe Gloeckner's 2002 graphic novel of the same name skirts uncomfortably between the stunning performance of its actors and its rather icky subject matter.
Powley excels as Minnie, the wannabe graphic artist whose idol is Aline Kominsky and channels all the nervous energy as she heads out on this road with pure effervescence. But Minnie doesn't escape the trappings of childhood as she sways from childish tantrums to immature outbursts when things don't go her way - equally, her wisdom beyond her years separates her from both her mother and her friends, and Powley and Kristen Wiig as her mum make great fist of their few scenes together.
Certainly, for Minnie, it's a case of everything being the same, but everything being completely different and with copious voice-over and on screen animations springing up left, right and centre (an occasionally over-used narrative tic to provide more insight, which lost its initial freshness), we definitely get a taste of the blurred perceptions of love, lust and licentiousness bubbling away in her consciousness.
But despite appreciating the confident sexual swagger and self-deflating bluster of Minnie, and the performances of Powley, Wiig and Skarsgard, it's difficult to shake the actual reality of the film - a 35 year old having sex with the 15 year old daughter of his girlfriend, even with the humour and continual looseness of touch with which Heller handles the material.
Granted, there will be self-recognition and appreciation by many over the story arcs, and the frankness of the way the material is handled is to be applauded; however, there's no denying its lack of moralising over Minnie's actions may also polarise some, but there's absolutely no doubting this is Powley's career-defining moment, a vibrant and shimmering turn that eclipses the material and provides a 70s tinged joie de vivre that's hard to shake, long after the troubling story has left you.
