Council works to reduce incidence of water discolouration in Ayr
Council water crews will install new scour injection and extraction points on the 500mm water main in Burke Street between the South Ayr Water Treatment Plant and Railway Street in an effort to further alleviate incidents of discoloured water.
Manager Operations Wayne Saldumbide said cutting in of the necessary pipework was scheduled for Monday, June 27, 2016, with the initial swabbing of the water main scheduled for the following day.
"Council will insert foam swabs (pigs) into the water main at the treatment plant and push the swabs through to the new extraction point about 830 metres away," Mr Saldumbide said.
"Adding this new extraction point has been planned for some time to enable thorough cleaning of the large distribution main in South Ayr.
"We have been waiting for a drop in demand to do the work, but haven't had any luck with rain. We expect demand to drop in the cooler months so we have planned the works for late June."
"It's been a trouble spot for some time and once we've been able to undertake the swabbing we fully expect the occurrences of discoloured water to reduce markedly."
An intensive swabbing program will be undertaken that same week with large distribution mains in Railway Street and Cunningham Street, Ayr and the 300mm Brandon main being cleaned on consecutive days.
Cleaning of these mains in conjunction with air-scouring will reduce the amount of discoloured water experienced by residents.
Mr Saldumbide said Council would like the cooperation of residents in restricting their water usage to essential requirements in the week of the planned works to enable full supply to be maintained.
If you are experiencing dirty water, please report it to Council on 4783 9800.
Loads of free family fun to celebrate Queensland Week
Looking for a way to get fit that is a little different? Come along to this weekend's Burdekin Queensland Week Family Fun and Fitness Expo at Anzac Park to see what's available.
A group from Burdekin Martial Arts – Silat Perisai Diri (PD) will be on site showing just how easily you can get active and also gain personal safety knowledge. PD is a unique Indonesian martial art which was introduced to Australia in 1979 and teaches people how to use their natural reflexes to combat an attack situation.
Master Corey Lane said a martial arts regime was a great way to stay fit and for self-protection.
"Our aim is teach people to have the most effective response to an attack from the point of view of putting themselves in the best position to counter attack," he said.
"We will have a display at the Expo and our members will also have a demonstration to show people our martial art."
Burdekin Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said the Expo was a great way for the community to see what fitness options were available to residents.
"This event offers people a chance to talk with a wide variety of organisations about different types of sports and fitness regimes and hopefully will give them the incentive to adopt a healthier lifestyle," she said.
"It's also a great family day with lots of fun free activities for children such as a jumping castle, rock climbing, a merry-go-round, bungee trampoline and face painting.
"I'm a great believer in exercise – it is good for your body, a great stress release and an excellent way of meeting new people.
"Just walking every day will help and it gets you out enjoying our wonderful region, especially at this time of year when it's a little cooler."
The Burdekin Queensland Week Family Fun and Fitness Expo will be held from 9.30am-12.30pm on Sunday, June 5, 2016 at Anzac Park, Ayr.
The Burdekin Shire Council received a $5000 grant to hold the Expo through the Queensland Government's 2016 Queensland Week Sponsorship Program.
Participants this year include Burdekin Cruisers and Car Club Inc, Lower Burdekin Celtic Dancing Association Inc, South Pacific Taekwondo, Activ8, Jamminwifjoe, Burdekin Relay for Life, Lower Burdekin Gymnastics, World Shimjang Taekwondo, Burdekin Artisans Community Association, Bowen Therapy – Jane Farmer, Curves, NRGize Fitness, Northern Queensland Primary Health Network, Kangatraining Burdekin, Burdekin Martial Arts – Silat Perisai Diri (PD), Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre, Burdekin Shire Youth Council, Neighbourhood Watch Qld, Burdekin Amateur Basketball Inc, Townsville Cairns Bike Riders, Burdekin PCYC, Zumba with Anastasia, Snap Fitness, Ayr Lions Club and Rotary Club of Home Hill.
Council to trial bulk storage waste bin at Plantation over Burdekin Show long weekend
Burdekin Shire Council will trial the placement of a bulk storage waste bin at the popular Plantation Creek boat ramp over the Burdekin Show holiday weekend (1-3 July) to help cut the amount of illegally dumped rubbish.
Burdekin Mayor Lyn McLaughlin said Council had agreed to the trial following community representation to Council requesting reconsideration of the previous decision.
"We are going to place this bin at the ramp on the Thursday and then it will be removed on the Monday to ease the load on residential bins over the long weekend," she said.
"Plantation Creek has been chosen as the trial site as it provides access to the highest number of creek huts in the Shire.
"If this service proves a success, Council will consider whether the bins are warranted at other ramps during holidays and long weekends.
"Fishing is a very popular pastime in the Burdekin and this is a drawcard for tourists to our region.
"Illegal dumping is an eyesore in these beautiful natural environments and impacts on the wetland habitats."
Governance and Local Laws Manager Dan Mulcahy said ongoing misuse of the previous permanent bulk waste bins at boat ramps had led to their removal in 2009.
"People were using these bins instead of taking their household rubbish to Council's transfer stations. This is not what the boat ramp bins are for," he said.
"Council has ongoing problems with the illegal dumping of household items such as furniture and rubbish and it costs thousands of ratepayers' dollars every year for Council to clean it up.
"We hope that by trialling the return of the bin at busier times of the year, the bin is used by boat ramp patrons and not by other individuals as a substitute for the transfer station.
"The bin is there for holiday makers to put their rubbish in – not around."
Burdekin Shire supports LGAQ push for federal funds
Burdekin Shire Mayor Lyn McLaughlin has announced her support for the Local Government Association of Queensland's Federal Election Local Government Policy Plan.
Cr McLaughlin said the most important issue for the Burdekin was the reinstatement of the indexation of Financial Assistance Grants (FAGs).
"These grants are a vital source of funding for shires which have a static rate base, such as the Burdekin, and help relieve the pressure on our ratepayers," she said.
"It is vital that the Federal Government reinstates the increase for these grants as costs are continuing to rise and that burden is being shouldered by our ratepayers.
"Under the National Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA), I also agree with LGAQ that councils should be able to use their labour for recovery and reconstruction works on council-owned essential public assets.
"Our team has found that we get better value for money when using our crews."
Cr McLaughlin said any changes to NDRRA would directly affect Council and the community.
"If there was a reduction in the amount funded by the Federal Government then there would be a definite impact on rate increases," she said.
"We are fortunate to have had funding support from the NDRRA over the years, but if there was improved mitigation funding for natural disasters we could do so much more.
"The Burdekin Shire has dealt with disaster events for many years and Council has had to fund mitigation works such as new drainage etc to help prevent similar events."
The Burdekin Mayor said Council would welcome committed funds for water projects.
"We definitely need a commitment from the Federal Government on funding for the maintenance and upgrade of our key water infrastructure," she said.
"This is vital to the Burdekin and will ensure the continued growth of our region.
"I acknowledge the funding the Federal Government has pledged for the Burdekin-Haughton scheme and Burdekin Dam, but there needs to be money available to back up projects and not just fund studies."
Library project offers help to youth
The Burdekin Shire Library is offering youth aged 12 to 16 years who are impacted by autism/Asperger's the opportunity to join the "Challenge Program".
Council's Library Services Manager John Scott said the program would be held in partnership with the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services.
"This program gives participants the opportunity to build relationships with each other and Council's library staff, which in turn will connect them with the wider community," he said.
"We anticipate the Challenge Program will run for an hour, once a week after school at our innovation space Ideas@108."
The Burdekin Library has a history of partnering with agencies to deliver a range of innovative programs for the local community.
Mr Scott said that during 2015 several parents of teenagers in the Burdekin region expressed a need for a social activity and learning environment for teenagers with autism/Asperger's with a long-term view to upskilling for future employment.
"Most interest was shown in a 'lab' type project, where young people meet regularly using technology as a medium for activities," he said.
"This type of project has been run successfully in other places and we held an initial meeting of parents, Burdekin Shire Library Staff and Disability Services Local Area Coordinator on 1 September 2015.
"Our library team then met with the young people to gather their ideas for the project.
"The resulting successful program, where participants learnt about 3D printing, computer coding and more, was run throughout the final term of the 2015 school year in partnership with the Department."
Mr Scott said his team were delighted to again work with the Department to deliver the Challenge Program.
If you are interested please register with Disability Services Local Area Coordinator Kathy Hansen on 4786 4050.

Public Notice – Powerlink helicopter patrols Clare, Millaroo and Dalbeg
Council wishes to advise that Powerlink Queensland will perform routine maintenance of transmission lines across Clare, Millaroo and Dalbeg during April and May, 2016 (weather permitting).
The aerial patrols of land and vegetation around Powerlink's transmission lines will be done using low-flying helicopters.
Powerlink aims to carry out the work with minimum disruption to local residents however there is potential for some noise during the inspections. Low flying helicopters also have the potential to startle some livestock.
As such, Powerlink encourages landholders with an easement on or near their property to register their contact details with the organisation to receive more information about upcoming patrols in the area.
During the aerial inspections, the helicopter pilot will seek to maintain the maximum distance practically possible from houses, livestock and crops. Residents may see the helicopter moving relatively quickly and at a low level along the transmission lines, and in some instances, the helicopter may need to pause to enable closer inspection of the lines.
This maintenance ensures the ongoing safety and reliability of Powerlink's high voltage electricity network and protects the safety of the community.
For more information please visit the Powerlink Queensland website or contact the company freecall on 1800 635 369.
Flickerfest 2016 to treat Burdekin to the world's best short films
Adapted from an award-winning Australian short story by Louise, Flat Daddy is a highlight of Australia's renowned short-film festival, Flickerfest, coming to the Burdekin next month.
The film stars Logie-award-winning actress Kat Steward (Offspring, Underbelly, Tangled) as the wife of Flat Daddy and mother of nine-year-old Cindy who becomes besotted with a life-size cut-out of her absent father, Scott, who is on military duty. It's just one of a number of short films that will be screened at the Burdekin Theatre on Saturday, March 5, 2016.
Burdekin Shire Council Community Development Manager Tony Vaccaro said Flickerfest was the country's largest international short-film competition and he was thrilled the Burdekin Theatre was included in 2016 national tour.
"This is the first time Burdekin has been included in the tour and we're excited residents will have the opportunity to experience the best of short filmmaking Australia and the world has on offer," he said.
"The competition is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year so what better time for Burdekin residents to experience this iconic Australian event?
"There will be two different screenings on Saturday; the first at 1pm and the second at 5pm. The first screening will showcase selected highlights from Best of Australian Shorts and the second will be made up of films from the Short Laughs Comedy Program.
"Whether you're a seasoned film buff or just love watching movies on the big screen, Flickerfest is sure to wow you!"
Australian films to look out for at the screenings include Nan and a Whole Lot of Trouble, Flat Daddy, Ernie Biscuit, Nulla Nulla and Halfbeard.

Burdekin's future leaders sought
The Burdekin Shire Council is seeking future farmers, business owners and entrepreneurs to join Burdekin Future Leaders Group (BFLG).
Burdekin Shire Council Economic Development Manager Adrian Scott said BFLG was the brainchild of the Burdekin Economic Development Strategic Advisory Group (EDSAG).
"Its aim is to motivate, inspire and further develop the leadership skills of senior school students and to assist them to become the future leaders of the Burdekin Shire," he said.
"This free program allows students the opportunity to take part in a range of activities under the guidance of existing Burdekin leaders from a variety of industries.
"They will be mentored by our EDSAG members who will prepare them to become active members of the local business community.
"Council has provided information about BLFG to all the Burdekin secondary schools as it's important that we retain talent here to ensure the continued success and future growth of the Shire."
Mr Scott said there would be no examinations for the program however participants were required to maintain a minimum attendance of 80 per cent across all program events.
"Modules of study will include personal development in leadership, goal setting, public speaking and networking, key industries, current, future and emerging industry trends, industry field trips, work experience and presentations," he said.
"Participants will also work in groups with an assigned mentor to deliver a project concept at the conclusion of the program at the graduation ceremony."
Queensland Country Credit Union Branch Sales Manager North and Far North Queensland and EDSAG Committee Member Carmel Dal Ponte will be one of the mentors working with the participants this year.
Ms Dal Ponte said BFLG was a wonderful opportunity for any young person to better understand the bigger picture and strategic directions of the Burdekin and surrounding regions.
"The opportunity to be part of a program such as this can only enhance a young person's knowledge and improve their development for future employment opportunities," she said.
"I have been involved in a number of similar programs throughout my career and know firsthand the benefits of being able to engage with key business people and the networking opportunities it creates for the future.
"I would highly recommend this program to any young person looking to step outside their comfort zone and improve their future employment opportunities."
BFLG member selection will be conducted annually via a nomination and interview process for interested participants. Members will be required to attend a monthly meeting.
Applications to join BFLG close on February 12, 2016.
To find out more about the program or to collect an application form please contact Economic Development Support Officer Rebecca Love on 4783 9800 or download it here from Council's website.
Council provides sponsorship to school chaplains
Burdekin Shire Council provided sponsorship totalling $30,000 to the Burdekin Combined Chaplaincy this week to support school chaplaincy programs in local schools for 2016.
School Chaplains work with students, families and staff in the school community to discuss social, emotional, mental, physical and spiritual concerns.
Burdekin Mayor Bill Lowis said hundreds of local students received assistance each year through the Burdekin Combined Chaplaincy and Council wanted to recognise the integral role Chaplains play in meeting the needs of Burdekin youth and their families.
"The ability for Chaplains to build strong relationships and assist students to understand and overcome difficult issues is crucial not only for the individual but also the wider community," he said.
"This sponsorship was made available to acknowledge the outstanding work and positive outcomes that the School Chaplains have achieved for our community.
"In 2016, seven local state schools and their students will benefit from the work of the Burdekin Combined Chaplaincy and Council is pleased to support the Chaplains in their cause this year."
The Burdekin Combined Chaplaincy provides four Chaplains to work with students, parents, teachers and school staff at Ayr State School, East Ayr State School, Giru State School, Home Hill State School, Burdekin School, Ayr State High School and Home Hill State High School.
Previously the Burdekin Combined Chaplaincy has relied solely on fundraising events and donations from local business and the community to raise the $70,000 annual fee required to deliver this free school chaplaincy service.
Lock up and win this Christmas
The Burdekin Building Safer Communities Action Team (BSCAT), with support from Queensland Police, is running a 'Lock It or Lose It' campaign throughout the Burdekin region over the holiday period.
The campaign aims to raise awareness and reduce the number of vehicles being left unlocked, and subsequently being easy targets for vehicle and property theft.
Council's Community Development Manager and BSCAT Chairman Tony Vaccaro said a similar campaign in Bundaberg had proved successful.
"The campaign will include local police officers doing random vehicle checks from December through to February to ensure people have adequately secured their vehicles," he said.
"The checks will be made in the Ayr and Home Hill CBDs as well as the smaller suburbs of the Burdekin or in back streets where cars are parked on the footpaths.
"Cars found to be secure will receive a congratulatory note on their windscreen along with an entry ticket to win gift cards from local businesses.
"We hope this will encourage everyone to lock up and secure their vehicles and personal property."
Mr Vaccaro said tickets for the prize draw could then be placed in the entry boxes at the Burdekin Library Ayr and Home Hill branches.
"Vehicles not adequately secured will be given a list of tips on how to better secure their vehicle and personal property," he said.
Burdekin BSCAT is a group of state and local government representatives together with business and community representatives who have developed a community partnership approach to crime prevention and community safety.
Burdekin BSCAT provides the opportunity for our local community to take positive action to prevent crime and build a safer community. This team is an advisory group to Council.

This Is Our Jam: Balam Acab, "Oh, Why"
Balam Acab arrived last year with a rising tide of artists loosely tied together by their use of heavy synths, obscured vocals, and gloomy atmospherics. Yet, Balam Acab—a.k.a. 20 year-old music student, Alec Koone - has a composer's eye for arrangement that is more philosophically akin to Grouper or The Books than the codeine-guzzling gloom of a band like Salem. "Oh, Why" is a careful pastiche that is both shadowy and delicate, but hardly gothic. Bodiless vocal samples are pitched both up and down to create an ethereal soulfulness that overwhelms but doesn't bludgeon; Rather than recalling the occult, Balam Acab's ephemeral collage is melancholic and comforting. "Oh, Why" drips with an emotionality that is executed with technical virtuosity. (Stereogum)

As I begin this prayer, God is present,
breathing life into me and into everything around me.
For a few moments, I remain silent,
and become aware of God's loving presence.
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit Lord,
so that I may have inner freedom.
Let your Spirit instil in my heart
a desire to know and love you more each day.
At this moment Lord I turn my thoughts to you.
I will leave aside my chores and preoccupations.
I will take rest and refreshment in your presence Lord.
The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him and declared, 'Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, "After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me." I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.' And John testified, 'I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit." And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.'
Conversation requires talking and listening.
As I talk to Jesus may I also learn to be still and listen.
I picture the gentleness in His eyes
and the smile full of love as he gazes on me.
I can be totally honest with Jesus as I tell Him of my worries and my cares.
I will open up my heart to Him as I tell Him of my fears and my doubts.
I will ask Him to help me to place myself fully in His care,
to abandon myself to Him,
knowing that He always wants what is best for me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be,
world without end.
If you appreciated the daily prayer or have any suggestions or insights we will be glad to hear from you.

WASHINGTON should consider reducing the minimum wage for 16- and 17-year-olds to see whether it has any impact on the state's sky-high teen unemployment rate.
It wouldn't require any new legislation: The state minimum-wage act applies only to workers 18 and older. The law allows the director of the Department of Labor and Industries to establish a lower minimum for younger workers, but until now that's only been applied to 14- and 15-year-olds. Employers can pay them $7.92 an hour, 85 percent of the adult minimum wage of $9.32.
It's time to consider something similar for 16- and 17-year-olds. A new study from the influential Brookings Institution shows the employment rate among 16- to 19-year-olds in the Greater Seattle area plummeted from 46 percent in 2000 to 25 percent in 2012.
The minimum wage may not have had anything to do with that huge decline. The recession put lots of adults in competition for the entry-level jobs that historically gave teens their start. A lower minimum wage for 16- and 17-year-olds could displace older workers.

Still, a lower minimum for more teens is worth exploring. Sixteen- and 17-year-olds are less likely to be supporting themselves than 18- or 19-year-olds.
The lower minimum could be limited to the first three months of a teen's employment to guard against potential employer abuses. That's how the federal law works now.
The goal is to give more teens valuable job experience without impacting adult employment. State officials should consider adopting a lower minimum wage for 16- and 17-year-olds, then closely monitor whether it achieves those objectives.
If it doesn't work, then scrap it. But it's probably worth a try.

Not going into Labor just yet; Radiant Kate Winslet dresses her growing bump in black for screening of her new film
She's hasn't got long now until she gives birth to her third child.
But Kate Winslet is refusing to let her pregnancy get in the way of her busy work schedule as she continues to promote her new movie Labor Day, this time in London.
The 37-year-old actress attended a screening of the film alongside co-star Josh Brolin on Sunday night, opting for a slimming all-black ensemble for the occasion.
Scroll down for video
Working mum: A pregnant Kate Winslet at a photocall for new film Labor Day at the Mayfair Hotel, London with the film coming out by the end of the year
Despite her efforts to conceal her bump her preganncy curves were clear to see.
The mother-of-two looked chic in a black top, skinny jeans and black blazer, finishing off her look with black high heels and keeping her blonde hair loose.
She accessorised her simple outfit with beautiful Monica Vinader earrings and bracelet.
Ever the professional Kate rested a hand affectionately on her blossoming stomach as she happily smiled and posed for the cameras.
Bump on show: A pregnant Kate Winslet looked comfortable in a black top and blazer at a screening of her new film Labor Day at the London film festival
Kate said on Monday she felt confident without rehearsing for Labor Day and she believes the filmmaker's decision to not rehearse scenes before filming - as he does on all of his films - really helped her relate to the story and her character.
She said: 'One thing Jason chooses to do is not rehearse. I think Jason was quite worried that I might be like, 'We have to have rehearsals!' But I don't care about rehearsals. I very much felt that Jason's choice to not rehearse lent itself particularly to 'Labor Day', because for us as actors, we genuinely didn't know what he was going to do next, what he would want of us as actors.
'I was always very grateful that we hadn't marked everything out, and although, we ourselves had done our own homework in knowing who we wanted our characters to be, nothing was revealed until each day [on set].'
Hard grafter: Kate Winslet, who hasn't let being pregnant for the third time interfere with her busy work schedule, rests a protective hand on her baby bump
Winslet plays a single mother who unwittingly takes in an escaped convict (Brolin) and gives him shelter, but her relationship with the man begins threatening her bond with her teenage son, played by Gattlin Griffith.
Speaking at a press conference for 'Labor Day', which will screen as the May Fair Hotel Gala film at this year's BFI London Film Festival on Monday night the 38-year-old actress - who has two children, Mia 13, and Joe, nine - was full of praise for 14-year-old Griffith, admitting she was quite motherly on set.
The pregnant star said: 'It was one of the most wonderful working relationships I've ever had because it was honestly such a privilege to spend that amount of time with someone who's that lovely at that particular age, which is the most gorgeous age for a young girl or boy.
'Early on, my big thing to him was to say, 'You're terrified - don't worry, so am I, so is Josh, so is Jason, and so is everyone else.'
'I think I just knew I had to really be his friend and wanted to guide him. He was really my priority on set. When we did scenes together or when I could tell he really needed me, I was just there, really like a parent. Also, when he had done some particularly brilliant takes, I told him how impressed I was and how impressed everybody was.'
Speaking recently about her pregnancy, Kate, who is expecting her first child with husband Ned Rocknroll, told People magazine: 'I feel completely great. Being a parent turns you inside out.
'It completely transforms your life and, of course, your children are your absolute everything.'
Lady in black: Kate wore her blonde hair loose to pose up for a photo call with Labor Day co-star Josh Brolin
The Titanic actress is also mother to daughter, Mia, 12, from her first marriage to Jim Threapleton and son, Joe, nine, from her marriage to Sam Mendes.
Whirlwind: Kate Winslet and her husband Ned Rocknroll, the nephew of Richard Branson, married in December 2012 but Kate refuses to take his surname
This will be her third child, but first with new husband Ned, the nephew of Virgin mogul Richard Branson who she met on a holiday at his uncle's Necker Island.
He works on the space-travel branch of the Virgin empire.
The couple confirmed their pregnancy news to MailOnline in June, her spokesperson said: 'Kate and Ned are delighted. The baby is due at the end of the year.'
Ned, was born Ned Abel Smith, before legally changing his name to its present catchy moniker. The couple were married after a whirlwind romance in December 2012.
Since becoming a wife and soon-to-be mother again her ambition has far from dimmed. She said in an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine in earlier this year, that becoming a mother taught her to have an 'abiding inner strength'.
And she stressed that she always wanted to raise her children to be respectful of others - despite being the offspring of one of the world's most famous actresses.
She explained: 'I always want them to be regular kids who are grateful and respectful of other human beings. I want them to know that when we fly first-class, that they are lucky.
'The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids - and I can say that this does happen frequently - is when the in-flight crew say to me, "Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved." Every time I am told that, I could weep.'
Comedy moment: Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin has fun together at a screening for Labor Day during the 57th BFI London Film Festival at The Mayfair Hotel
New work: Labor Day is based on a novel by Joyce Maynard and follows a troubled single mother called Adele, played by Kate, and her son after they offer a wounded man a ride
Kate said in a recent interview that the movie role gave new something of a new perspective on parenthood.
She said: 'I have admiration for mothers everywhere, whether they're single or not – and for fathers, too. It turns you inside out.
'My character Adele is fragile and fragmented, and she has this blistered past. But at the same time, she has a strength in her that never wavered, and that was her strength as a mother.'
Labor Day is due for release on December 25th.

At home in Sweden, Jens Lekman is accurately referred to as a pop star; in this country, only critics call him that. But love Lekman we do, a cult obsession unlikely to dim with last months release of the singers excellent new EP, An Argument With Myself, which leads with a Paul Simonish title track that absolutely lives up to its premise: Fuck you, Lekman sings over bubbling Afropop guitars, No, youfuck you! This weekend, he caps a brief U.S. tour with a three-night Brooklyn stand sure to be packed with people bearing notebooks. Hyperbole will ensue.

Sleeping with your mouth open damages teeth 'as much as a fizzy drink before bed': Dry mouth causes acid levels to rise, eroding teeth
- Breathing through mouth dries it out - removing protective effect of saliva
- Saliva has natural ability to kill the bacteria in the mouth that produce acid
- As acid levels rise through the night, tooth erosion and decay can begin
- Some mouth sleepers mouths, acidity levels rose as high as pH 3.6
- This is high akin to having glass of orange juice or fizzy drink before bed
For those of us who catch flies while we sleep, it's bad news.
Scientists have found that sleeping with the mouth open can be as damaging to teeth as sipping a fizzy drink before bed.
This is because breathing through the mouth dries it out - removing the protective effect of saliva, which has a natural ability to kill the bacteria in the mouth that produce acid.
As acid levels rise through the night, tooth erosion and decay can begin.
Sleeping with the mouth open can be as damaging to teeth as sipping a fizzy drink before bed, experts claim
The researchers believe the findings help to explain observations of dentists that people who sleep open-mouthed have higher rates of tooth decay.
Tooth decay in mouth sleepers is often worse at the back – this is because the back of the mouth tends to get drier than the front.
Patients with asthma and obstructive sleep apnoea are more likely to breathe through the mouth at night.
Under normal conditions, the pH level in the mouth – the measure of acidity or alkalinity – is a neutral level of 7.7.
But sleeping with the mouth open reduced this to a mildly acidic average a pH of 6.6, according to the study published in the Journal of Oral Rehabilitation.
In some people, acidity levels rose as high as 3.6.
This is high enough to erode tooth enamel and akin to having a glass of orange juice or can of fizzy drink before bed.
If the mouth is open during sleep it dries out. This triggers acid levels to rise, triggering tooth erosion
Men are most likely to be affected, as research has shown nearly a third breathe through their mouths while asleep, compared to just five per cent of women.
Joanne Choi, a sleep researcher at Otago University in New Zealand, and her colleagues created a device that can be clipped to the teeth at night.
This records acidity levels and transmits data to a computer.
She then asked 10 volunteers to sleep with nose clamps so they were forced to breathe through their mouths on one night.
On a second night, volunteers - who had an average age of 25 - slept normally without the clamp.
Previous attempts to measure acidity have involved people waking up participants during sleep – which could disrupt the body's rhythms and give unreliable results.
Ms Choi, a PhD student, said: 'This study is the first to continuously monitor intra-oral pH changes in healthy individuals over several days.
'Our findings support the idea that mouth-breathing may indeed be a causal factor for dental diseases such as enamel erosion and caries.'

Audi to raise prices by up to 5% from January
New Delhi: Luxury car maker Audi India Thursday said it will raise prices of its entire range of vehicles by up to five percent with effect from January next year due to rising input costs and falling rupee.
"Audi today announced an increase in price of its model range available in India. The increase would range up to 5 percent across model from January 1, 2013," the company said in a statement.
The company sells various models in India such as sedans A4, A6 and A8, sports utility vehicles Q3, Q5 and Q7 and sports car R8, which are priced between Rs 27.85 lakh and Rs 1.7 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Audi India, however, did not specify details on what will be the exact amount of hike for each model.
Commenting on the hike, Audi India Head Michael Perschke said: "The overall market scenario is challenging. The rise in input cost, depreciating rupee as well as continuous increase in fuel prices have made us re-evaluate our pricing strategy in India and increase the prices of the entire range."
The company, however, will continue to offer the customers finance options from Audi Finance, he added.
"In spite of the challenges, Audi is the growth driver of the luxury market in India. Keeping our performance in mind, we are confident of surpassing the 2012 sales target of 8,000 units even before the year comes to an end," Perschke said.
The company's sales in October soared by 76.35 percent to 850 units from 482 units in the same month last year.

The need to educate TV viewers about the completion of the DTV transition and February 2009 shutoff of analog transmission was on the minds of FCC commissioners Michael Copps and Deborah Taylor Tate April 17 during the Chairman's Breakfast at NAB2007.
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin was unable to attend the event because of a hearing on Capitol Hill.
During the event, Copps and Taylor Tate took questions from NAB president and CEO David Rehr about a variety of topics, including media ownership, diversity, childhood obesity and the media's role, the use of unlicensed devices in TV white spaces and the DTV transition. Both commissioners expressed concern about the lack of public knowledge about the 2009 DTV deadline.
"This DTV transition is a stealth process compared to [Y2K]," Copps said, contrasting the situation with the efforts of the Commerce Department to raise awareness of and head off problems with computers predicted for the turn of the century during his tenure as assistant commerce secretary.
Stressing the inadequacy of the $5 million the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has so far allocated to educate the public about the transition, Copps emphasized that now is the time to begin taking the transition process seriously. Copps compared the NTIA's $5 million public education budget to the $400 million being spent in the UK to educate that nation's 60 million people about the switch to digital broadcasting.
"The repercussions of this and the cost that the government agencies and Congress and the private sector are going to pay if this goes awry are going to be tremendous. I mean, we'll all be here trying to get a few bucks out of the slot machines to make a living if this goes south," he said.
For her part, Taylor Tate urged broadcasters to use the variety of means at their disposal to educate the public, including radio.
