The Coolangatta War Memorial is set to undergo a major transformation as part of stage two of Council’s Coolangatta to Bilinga Foreshore Masterplan, which kicks off next month.

Engineering Services Committee Chair Cr Dawn Crichlow said the War Memorial would be relocated to a more prominent position closer to the corner of Marine Parade.

“The Memorial is a major part of the park and the new site will be more accessible for visitors and those attending ceremonies,� said Cr Crichlow.

“To enhance its feature, the Memorial will be situated in a purpose-built plaza area.

“Representatives from Tweed Coolangatta RSL Sub Branch provided valuable input on the new site.�

Divisional Councillor Chris Robbins said while work was underway, the Memorial monument would undergo extensive cleaning and restoration.

“The work has been timed to coincide with the second phase of the Coolangatta to Bilinga Masterplan, which will also see Queen Elizabeth 2 Park undergo extensive reconstruction to create an exciting new events space,� said Cr Robbins.

“It was hoped that the new Memorial could be unveiled for Anzac Day, however restorative work is expected to be completed by May 2009.

“Council staff have been communicating with the RSL to ensure they have an alternative site for their Anzac Day dawn ceremony, which will now take place at Chris Cunningham Park.�

Tweed Coolangatta RSL Secretary Dr John Griffin said the new improved War Memorial would be able to cater for greater numbers of visitors.

“This is very important to the local community and the RSL was pleased to have been involved in the project,� said Dr Griffin.

Turmeric is a spice prepared from grinding the roots of the Curcuma longa plant, also called curcumin. It is a main ingredient in curry powder and figures heavily in Asian cuisines. As it imparts a vivid yellow color to the food it is cooked with, it is often used to color as well as flavor condiments, rice dishes and sauces. Turmeric sounds like a miracle spice, for all its anti-aging, preventative health, and healing powers. But turmeric has other uses also; the yellow color has also been used as a dye for a variety of products, including textiles, paper and food. There are ointments which contain turmeric, used for a variety of skin disorders such as blemishes and inflammations, and cosmetically it is used for toning and enhancing healthy skin. All in all, a very powerful spice.

A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and taint a computer without consent or knowledge of the user. However, the term "virus" is commonly used, albeit speciously, to refer to many different types of malware programs. The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or the Internet, or by carrying it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, or USB drive. Meanwhile viruses can spread to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer. Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan horses. A maggot can spread itself to other computers without needing to be transferred as part of a host, and a Trojan horse is a file that appears harmless. Both worms and Trojans will make harm to computers when executed.

Most personal computers are now connected to the Internet and to local area networks, facilitating the spread of malevolent code. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services such as the World Wide Web, e-mail, Instant Messaging and file sharing systems to spread, blurring the line between viruses and worms. Furthermore, some sources use an alternative expressions in which a virus is any form of self-replicating malware.

Some viruses are programmed to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or reformatting the hard disk. Others are not designed to do any damage, but simply repeat themselves and perhaps make their existence known by presenting text, video, or audio messages. Even these benign viruses can create problems for the computer user. They typically take up computer memory used by genuine programs. As a result, they often cause changeable behavior and can result in system crashes. In addition, many viruses are bug-ridden, and these bugs may lead to system crashes and data loss.

An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, normally known as alcohol, although in chemistry the explanation of an alcohol includes many other compounds.

Ethanol is a centrally-acting drug, with a depressant produce, and many societies regulate or control its sale and utilization. Countries place various legal restrictions on the sale of alcoholic drinks to young people. The manufacture and consumption of alcohol is found to some scale in most cultures and societies around the world, from hunter-gatherer tribes to controlled nation-states. The expenditure of alcohol is often important at social events in such societies and may be an important portion of a community's culture.

Ethanol is only slightly toxic compared to other alcohols, but has significant psychoactive possessions at sublethal doses. A significant blood alcohol pleased may be considered legal drunkenness as it reduces attention and slows feedback speed. Alcoholic beverages can be addictive and the state of obsession to ethanol is known as alcoholism.
