Magpies do learn much of their cognitive skill by the level of intake of energy. Reproductive capacity also improves skills. Australian magpies are very intelligent.  Found all over the country, they love urban areas.  They soon latch on to your pet's food bowl and accept any scraps you throw out.  Gymnorhin tibcen dorsalis live in groups of three or more.  A study was done to find out more about them.  Findings were based on detor-reaching, where food was hidden in transparent containers. Food was also put in the same place and birds were observed. Unfortunately, little detail of how this proved the connection with non-social group performance. The social milieu hypothesis is still the primary causative factor. Just how this and individual discerning cognition advancement can be separated for research is problematic.  They are complex creatures. Bold claims by this study are yet to be justified. Just seeing magpies behave in our gardens shows they know what they are

You can be conned on eBay.  Con artists have found a way to trick the eBay sales monitoring system.  A seller sets up an account and puts an item on sale.  He/she displays a "ticker" that says 10 are sold out of 50.  Of course, this is a lie. There are none for sale. The seller closely watches payments being made online. When he sees a transfer, the item is immediately withdrawn from sale. This item will not show up in the list of purchases on eBay. It will  be in the PayPal list. However, PayPal will not give a refund if there is no record of sale on eBay. There is another reason why eBay and PayPal do not refund your money. The seller is long gone not only withdrawing the product from sale but closing down the account and abandoning the business email address. He cannot be traced.  The ruse is repeated a few months later with the same item so it is easy to do. More and more eBay users are complaining about losing their cash.  Yes, it is usually, about $50, but i

Getting out and about at the shops may seem to be a good thing: getting all that exercise from walking. However, shopping centers are not our natural environment.

No! God did not make us. Well he didn't have a plan anyway. It appears that life is just a mad chemistry experiment. People are just complicated worms with big brains.

Australia's Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, is blowing out of his rear end again. You may say he is a dreamer with the quickie ideas he comes up with. I call him a stupid hairhead. He says such silly things like this country becoming a leading world arms supplier and willingly handing over funds, while considering stopping unemployment benefits for all people under 30 years of age. ⎳ Mad x PM to Make x Australia x an x Arms x Producer | blog | ⎳ His theory of the trickle down effect has been proved not to work. Giving tax cuts to the already wealthy never puts money into the pockets of the working poor. The rich just hide more of their ill-gotten gains in the West Indies as the PM has done himself. He has no understanding of economics. You get to be a "successful" businessman like him by skimming off the income of others. Somehow you find a way to charge more for the goods you sell. You can also do this by stealing from your employees. Something that the turning
