Poke! What I've read today! (14th August 2011)

Apologies for not posting yesterday because I had to attend a very special birthday for the whole day.

Girls remain undetected of ADHD [Courier Mail]
Boys are quite easily distinguishable when they have behavioural disorder as they tend to show hyperactivity and inattention more often than girls. Girls are more like sitting in the back of the class and they would later harming themselves for attention. About 6 per cent of Australians are thought to have ADD or ADHD, but the figure is likely to be higher because of the number of girls going undiagnosed.

Finally, a man was charged in Daniel Morcombe disappearance [Courier Mail]
After 8 years of investigation, a 41-year old man was finally charged with murder, child stealing, deprivation of liberty, indecent treatment in the Daniel Morcombe case, the largest manhunt case in Queensland. This case has been a very complex one where Daniel was first disappeared in December 2003, and police has since gathering clues and searching for person-of-interest. But since it has been 8 years and Daniel has a very slim chance that he's alive, but his parent Bruce and Denise Morcombe has vowed to find his remains and put him to rest. Now that the case has progressed significantly in this week, I will be personally watching this case closely. Hopefully the verdict will be out soon and end this case once and for all.

Free helmet to be implemented to bikes [Brisbane Times]
People might think a free helmet will be able to settle the frustration where people don't own a helmet just for a few rides in the city. Well, I think it's a waste of resource and it is impractical. No one has notice the hygienic problem when everyone wearing the same helmet again and again, and including vandalism and people destroying the helmets, basically a helmet can be gone or replaced within days. Not cool, Quirk. Besides of helmets, there will be software changes for the CityCycle stands as well as express cards available for subscription.
