Trope, Stock Phrases, Is It Something You Eat?
Is It Something You Eat?
"What's 'estrogen'? Can you eat it?"
—female orc joke, World of Warcraft
Stock line for an Idiot Hero, Big Eater or Extreme Omnivore. Usually used to convey how out of touch a character is with whatever they are asking to eat.
Related to Sniff Sniff Nom. Also see I Ate What?
Examples of Is It Something You Eat? include:
Love Hina: Kaolla Su. At least in the manga, her standard question whenever she hears a new word/phrase/concept is "Can you eat it?" But then Kaolla is the kind of person who will absentmindedly gnaw on someone's limbs in her sleep if she share a bed with them.... She asks whether Tokyo University is a food at one point.
Kaolla: What's Tokiyo-ewe? Is it a snack?
There used to be a Kaolla Su shrine with "Can I eat it?" on its banner, displayed next to a picture of Su in a swimsuit.
When Chi-Chi offers to be Goku's bride during an early Tournament Arc, he accepts readily. Some years later when she comes to get revenge on his failure to fulfill the promise, it is revealed that he had thought a bride was a kind of food. Although this was only in the dub -- in the Japanese version he was mistaking "engagement" (kon'yaku) with "konjac" (konnyaku), which would make no sense in English.
He has also asked the same thing about the eponymous MacGuffins.
Also, in the Non Serial Movies and games, Goten is revealed to have no idea his dad's real name is Kakarotto, usually thinking they're talking about some sort of vegetable.
From Jorgun and Balinbo: "Atmosphere? What that? Can you eat it?"
And from the same characters in Lagann-hen: "We've never had a mission before! Can you eat it?"
Mahou Sensei Negima: Idiot Lancer Kotarô, in asking What Is This Thing You Call Love?.
Kodomo no Jikan: "What's 'recording'? Is it tasty?"
Axis Powers Hetalia:
Italy: Traffic laws? I've never eaten that sort of thing.
Also, in The Slayers, when Martina claims that Gourry is to be her fiancé, Gourry asks, "What's a fiancé? IS IT A PICKLE?! Hmmmm, but is it sweet or sour?"
This priceless bit from a Naruto filler:
"French or soft. Which do you prefer?"
"Are you talking about food?"
(laughs) "Oh Lord. Kissing."
Final Fantasy Unlimited:
Fungo: What is a "thief"? Can you... eat it?
Ryuichi of Gravitation is quoted as saying "What's talent? Something tasty?"
In chapter 19 of Sora no Otoshimono, Nymph acted like this. She kept asking, "Does wrestling taste good?" while licking a candied apple.
Kamichama Karin. The episode 1 preview has Karin mistaking the resident talking cat's Verbal Tic for a type of soup.
Escaflowne:
"A pager isn't something you eat!"
"That's for me to decide."
Yuuji pulls this on Yoshi in Baka to Test To Shokanju in the light novel.
"OK, the real fight starts now."
"Wait, Yuuji! You never trusted me from the beginning!"
"Trust? What is that? Is it edible?"
In Corrector Yui, the impossibly computer-illiterate title character initially mistakes "delete" for "dessert" and wonders where the food is. (Asamiya Kia's rewrite of the manga has her think it's "Doritos," but it leads to the same thing.) This kicks off a Running Gag of her mistaking "delete" for any similar-sounding words.
In Eyeshield 21, Juumonji's uptight father is described as originally thinking that American football (amefuto) was some kind of candy (since ame means "sweet" in Japanese).
In the English translation of the Black Butler manga, at one point Ciel is asking Sebastian who would teach him how to dance (as there was no time to get his normal dance tutors to), and points out that none of the others there would be able to teach him. Said others are shown drawn in a Chibi style, with "Does waltz taste yummy?" above them.
In Mai-HiME, Mikoto demonstrates her upbringing to her classmates.
Mikoto: What's bra?... Is it edible?
In Cowboy Bebop, this is also a common question coming from Ed. Or when not asking, she's just seen trying to take a bite. No surprise, as she's a Cloudcuckoolander and the heroes are regularly starving.
Alice from Pandora Hearts takes this approach to both abstract and physical objects.
From the manga, Sleeper, we have:
Ryu: What's a mad dog? What's a license? Is it a demon? Can we eat it?
In Toriko, when the warden of honey prison activates her love pheromones, Zebra isn't affected and asks what are pheromones and if he can eat them.
A little gem from Fairy Tail when Natsu controls Lucy's body with a voodoo doll and over-bends it in various positions that shouldn't be anatomically possile.
Lucy: Natsu... Do you know what joints are?
Natsu: What are they? They sound tasty...
Comics -- Books
Used for several crooks, including Averell Dalton.
Rantanplan usually doesn't even ask himself the question, and go straight to trying to eat whatever he finds.
From Archie Comics; not the actual phrase, but same idea:
Dilton: That Jughead stuffs himself silly.
Veronica: We can't tolerate this sort of conduct.
Dilton: Jughead! Have a little decorum!
Jughead: Okay.
(looks around the banquet table)
Jughead: Where is it?
Dragonball Z Abridged features this exchange:

Mrs. Lancaster: (serving breakfast) I don't think so, but I could check with the kitchen.
In Help, there is a scene where George is holding a cymbal. He then takes a bite out of it.
From Clue:
Wadsworth: "Ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and die."
Prof. Plum: Die?
Wadsworth: Merely quoting, sir, from Alfred Lord Tennyson.
Col. Mustard: Hm, I prefer Kipling myself. "The female of the species is more deadly than the male." You like Kipling, Miss Scarlet?
Miss Scarlet: Sure, I'll eat anything.
It must be repeatedly explained to Archchancellor Ridcully that Rincewind is a wizard, not a type of cheese.
Ridcully: Sounds a sort of name you'd associate with cheese, I mean, a pound of Mature Rincewind, it rolls off the tongue...
Also, a variation in Unseen Academicals:
Glenda: So you quite liked [the football game], then.
Nutt: Oh yes! The ambience was wonderful!
Glenda: I didn't try those, but the pease pudding is usually good.
The Hobbit features the trolls debating what a hobbit is and if you can eat one. Them being trolls, the answer is yes. Although, they ultimately decide that he's so small and miserable that it would be too much trouble to skin and bone him for the little meat that he has, and throw him away, almost forgetting about him. Now, thirteen drwarves with him, there's an idea for a good meal.
Stock line from Ned Land from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Professor Arronax and Conseil have a keen interest in wildlife, whereas Ned's interest is purely culinary.
Oddly, this also shows up in another Jules Verne work, The Mysterious Island, in which sailor Pencroft's only real interest in fauna and botany was mostly just in terms of edibility and taste.
In The Chronicles of Prydain, Orddu asks "What is a Gurgi? Do you eat it or sit on it?"

That Mitchell and Webb Look: The post-apocalyptic gameshow. "What was hope?" "Was it a spice?" "What's a spice?"
In the My Name Is Earl episode "Sticks and Stones," when talking about the stock market:
Randy: I'm confused. You own twenty thousand dollars worth of Kripsy Kremes, but you still have to pay for donuts?
Paul: I don't get donuts, I get dividends.
Earl: Mmm, dividends... are they like those little powdered munchkins?
In an episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, Big Eater Jethro is threatened with a karate chop. He's looking forward to it because it he thinks it's like a pork chop. He later insists on getting one even though the person he's asking is a highly ranked martial artists who begs him not to ask for it. He also asks for a "judo roll" and a "sumo crush," thinking they're food. Each time he gets exactly what he asked for but doesn't get it and thinks he's being attacked for no good reason.
In Get Fuzzy, Satchel thinks this way about Bucky's "revelation."
Tales of Symphonia:
Lloyd: Professor, what's a philanderer? Is it something you eat?

Danette: Revowasshun? Wuzzat? Is it food? Does it taste good?
In Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Reimu's normal route, she encounters this twice...
Rumia: Are you the kind of person I can eat?
Reimu: Ever heard the phrase... "Good medicine tastes bad"?
Reimu: I'm a normal shrine maiden.
Meiling: That's good to hear. Certainly, I've heard that shrine maidens make for good eating ...
Reimu: Don't spread rumors like that!
Marisa turns it on its head:
Patchouli: Then maybe I'll help myself.
Marisa: I'm really tasty.
Patchouli: Let's see, how to easily remove unneeded portions of food ...
Reimila: So, what are you here for? I'm already quite full, but ...
Marisa: Okay, but y'know, I'm hungry.
Remilia: ... You can eat me.
Marisa: You don't say?
One of Cirno's fanmade theme songs theme song, "Odenpa LOVE GIRL," has lyrics that nicely illustrates her idiocy with gems like "Is an abacus yummy? (I can't eat it!)"
This trope is also played with in one of the canon short stories. Marisa shows Reimu a prism, explains what it is, and adds, "You can't eat it," even though there's no reason to think Reimu would try to eat a hunk of glass. Reimu nonchalantly agrees that it seems hard, and the conversation continues.
In My Sims Kingdom, when Rusty steals a horseshoe, Gabby decides to round up a posse. Just then, you and your assistants walk up. Gabby says he's found his posse. Buddy asks if it's a kind of soup...
Chrono Trigger:
Ayla: Pretty! Big! This Rainbow Shell? Can eat?
Ayla's first instinct on meeting Frog is also to ask if she can cook him. The party promptly shifts the conversation to asking if she's seen Magus. "Cape one more tasty?"
Wild Child Shea from Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happiness:
Shea: Marriage? What that? Taste good?
Variation: when your party battles the Dark Flans in Zanarkand, Rikku takes one look and muses, "Hmmm... is that edible?" A Fanfic even makes a Shout-Out to this, when Rikku jokes that Wakka describes Lulu's cooking as tasting like "burnt Flan." Of course, the joke is in the real world, flan is a type of food.
Final Fantasy XII gets rather meta: Flan the food was designed after Flan the monster.
A Running Gag in Metal Gear Solid 3 has Para-Medic describing the local wildlife and flora, with Snake asking what it tastes like. In his case, though, he can eat it, which seems to reliably Squick out Para-Medic even though Snake has little other choice in the tropical rainforest that is the Russian wilderness.
Taken to horrible levels in one of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Easter egg transmissions where Snake contemplates eating Yoshi.
In Blaz Blue Taokaka's standard response to anything new is to ask if it's edible, even "black squiggly" Arakune, or an intangible concept:
Tao: What's "unemployed"? Does it taste good?
In Lufia 2, an NPC says that he heard that, to do a basic game function, you must press a controller button. But he has no idea what a "Y button" is, so he wonders if it's edible.
In the Tiny Chao Garden found in certain Sonic the Hedgehog games, your Chao will sometimes ask "What is political reform? Is it tasty?"
A variant in The Space Bar. In the brief (but hilarious) segment playing as... intellectually wanting... alien Thud, you describe most objects by their edibility. For instance the bazooka is "Long. Heavy. Not edible." Despite this description, you can attempt to eat it.
In Castlevania Judgment:
Golem: Love? What love? Love tasty?
In Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, one of the eventual party members is an Extreme Omnivore called Drong. The player character is in the service of Queen Gwendolyn, and wants to return to the palace and report to her. Drong immediately inquires, "What's a Queen Gwendolyn? Can I eat it?" Of course, he can technically eat Queen Gwendolyn.

A Teen Girl Squad issue has three of the girls discussing their prom dresses. Meanwhile, tomboyish What's Her Face wonders aloud whether a "dress" is "a food."
In Faux Pas, Cindy often wonders if something new can be eaten. (Small wonder, as she's surrounded by animals she would normally eat if they would stop befriending her.)
Order of the Stick. The Empress of Blood asks this about Elan. Problem is, since she's a voracious red dragon, he would be perfectly edible for her.
This Penny Arcade strip. (Although some people do eat the placenta.)

As found on Not Always Right: Even the word "abbreviation" is not safe.
Lois tells Peter that his idea for a parade float based on an episode of Whos the Boss is a little esoteric, and we cut to Pete's brain as it attempts to decipher what "esoteric" means. "Does it mean 'sexy'?'" "No, no, it means delicious!" so Peter declares to her, "Lois, Who's The Boss? is not a food!"
Brian: Swing and a miss.
Also this:
Stewie: We are in a sexless marriage! We have yet to have sex!
Olivia: Do you even know what sex is?!
Stewie: That's not the poi... don't change the... It's a kind of cake?
Code Lyoko, episode 70 "Skidbladnir":
Yumi: It's Morse code, turkey!
Odd: Morse code turkey? Sounds pretty scrumptious...
(Even better in the French version...)
Yumi: Mais c'est du morse, banane !
Odd: Du morse-banane ? Ç'a l'air bon, c'est japonais ?
Chowder: Pepper spray? That sounds delicious! (gets sprayed in the face) AHHH!! I was wrong!! I was horribly wrong!!!
Fun fact: Dave's Insanity Sauce, a super-hot habanero extract sauce, has a "private reserve" variety with "twice the heat." In a contest to see which was spicier, Dave's Insanity Sauce weighed in at a higher Scovill rating than self-defense pepper spray. (Which, incidentally, you might be able to cook with.)
Taken to its logical extreme in Raggedy Ann and Andy A Musical Adventure. The Greedy, believing that a "sweetheart" is an edible object, attempts to steal Ann's candy heart to cure his own unhappiness.
A variation occurs in Dot and Keeto. Dot, shrunk down to the size of a bug and looking for the root that will change her back to normal size, encounters a praying mantis. The mantis asks if she wants anything to eat, and she tells him that what she wants is "like a carrot." The mantis then asks how many legs a "carrot" has.
In the Christmas Special O Christmas Tree, a squirrel attempts to explain christmas lights to a bear.
Squirrel: You gotta plug 'em in. They're electric.
Bear: What does that mean?
Squirrel: Oh, I don't believe this. Don't you know what electricity is?
Bear: Some kind of fish?
Squirrel: (Face Palm)
Dragon Tales gives us an example:
Wheezie: We're so close I can taste it!
Ord: Oh? What's it taste like?
Wheezie: It's just an expression, silly!
Ord: Oh... What's an expression taste like?
Jungledyret Hugo: Trophies, huh? Taste good?

The Critic when Jay meets Alice's ex-husband Cyrus as he was about to confess his feelings for her:
Cyrus: I'd like to thank you for helping my wife. It's more than what I did.
Jay: Well, there are a lot of people in New York who would of done what I did. They're called putzes!
Cyrus: Hmm... I like pepperoni on my putzes.
Jay: I'll bet you do.
In Play It Again, Charlie Brown, Frieda attempts to take Lucy's place at Schroeder's piano:
Lucy: Do you like Beethoven?
Frieda: What?
Lucy: If you're gonna hang around here, you've gotta like Beethoven!
Frieda: All right, but I'll just have a small glass.
Schroeder kicks them both out
Lucy: You blew it, kid.
Babies, in what Freud called the "oral phase", seem to use "stick it in your mouth" as their default object identification protocol. Especially when teething. This is because babies' eyesight is not all that good, and most of their working touch receptors are on their lips, so "stick it in your mouth" is just a method to feel it better, rather than a legitimate attempt to eat it.
Dogs: the old joke being a dog's thought process on finding something goes "If it's moving, chase it. If it's not moving, eat it. If you can't eat it, have sex with it."
Similar to babies above; since dogs don't have hands, the best way for them to get a feel for something is to put their mouth on it.
Humanity runs on this. How many foods are created by letting something spoil under specific conditions? Pickles, cheese, salami, beer, butter, etc. Basically, the invention of new food goes something like this:
Step 1: Store something.
Step 2: X in my Y! (It's more likely than you think.)
Step 3: This stuff doesn't smell that bad. It's still good. Om nom nom nom.
Step 4: This is delicious... I'm a genius!
Step 5: ???
Step 6: Profit!
Another one: leavened bread was probably the result it being unintentionally left to rest long enough for yeast to cause the dough rising; the first person to eat it would have seem eating a strange new thing.
1853: A customer keeps returning their french fries because they're "too thick" after one time to many, the chef decides to cut them ridiculously thin to see the guest's reaction. Thus potato chips are born.
Strangely enough, sharks are big time users of this trope. When a shark encounters something unusual, the first thing it will try to do is figure out what it is. Because sharks have no hands, they have to use their mouths. And because they have no lips, in order to touch it they have to bite it. Ouch. This is actually what causes a lot of the unprovoked shark attacks on humans, especially with the Great White. The shark in question either wants to figure out what we are, or thinks we might be a weird seal. Hence the shark attacks where a shark takes one bite or so and leaves. Of course, sometimes they don't.
The problem, of course, being that these investigations are made with two-foot wide jaws that can exert a 5 ton bite force. This is the rough equivalent of examining an egg by hitting it with a sledgehammer attached to your tongue.
This also serves to explain why sharks' stomach contents are so legendarily eclectic.
Its actually a well established fact that most sharks think humans taste disgusting, so presumably, a shark that has "attacked" a human once won't do it again because they've already "identified" human-shaped things as "not for eating."
The Times columnist Bernard Levin once wrote a column in which he asked, inter alia, "Can you eat quarks?" Sir Alan Cottrell wrote a brief letter in reply:
Sir: Mr Bernard Levin asks 'Can you eat quarks?' I estimate that he eats 500,000,000,000,000,000,001 quarks a day.
Anyone encountering a new language, specially under strange circumstances like traveling to foreign land, will ask this question sooner or later.

The semicarbazone of p-anisaldehyde (SPAS) is a novel organic nonlinear optical material. The SPAS has been synthesized and the solubility studies were carried out in the temperature range 30-60 ° C. Single crystals of SPAS have been grown following the slow evaporation technique and the unit cell parameters have been evaluated by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The UV-Visible, FT-IR and 1 HNMR spectra have been recorded to characterize the grown crystal. The thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis of the grown crystal revealed that there is no phase transformation in SPAS, and its thermal stability was found to be good. The dielectric measurement was made as a function of frequency (50 Hz – 5 MHz). The second harmonic generation in the sample was confirmed by the Kurtz powder technique.
Keywords: crystal growth, XRD, solution growth, thermal studies, dielectric studies.

East Pakistan's road to separation
The reality of fear of Bengali majority ruling those who had oppressed them for around a quarter of a century triggered the brutal use of force to quell what was termed as 'anti-state elements'
Dr Moonis Ahmar
On 23 March 1940 the demand for separate Muslim states in the Northwest and Northeast was put forward by the 'lion of Bengal' AK Fazlul Haq in the Muslim League meeting held in Lahore. After 31 years, on March 23, 1971, flags of independent Bangladesh were raised in every nock and corner of East Pakistan on the call of Awami League which had won December 7, 1970 general elections and had launched non-cooperation movement against the decision of Islamabad to postpone the National Assembly session which was scheduled to held in Dhaka on March 3, 1971. Within 31 years of the proclamation of Lahore resolution and 24 years after the creation of Pakistan, the country got dismembered.
Why the separation of East Pakistan and its transformation as an independent state of Bangladesh couldn't be prevented and how the seeds of Bengali nationalism were planted in the then East Pakistan? Hasan Zaheer, a former bureaucrat belonging to West Pakistan and who served in East Pakistan in the 1950s and in the turbulent period of 1971 vividly explains in his book The Separation of East Pakistan (Karachi: Oxford University Press, 2001) that how sense of deprivation among the people of East Pakistan got deepened because "the West Pakistan dominated ruling class of early Pakistan never really tried to understand the Bengali point of view. From the inception of Pakistan, it developed a self-righteous state of mind which ignored the objective realities of East Pakistan. The dominant ruling class suffered from a siege mentality. Any demand of East Pakistan which deviated from the dogma was regarded as a conspiracy and a threat to Islamic ideology and the integrity of the country." The imposition of Urdu language against the will of the majority of the people of East Pakistan; lack of proper development notwithstanding enormous earning of foreign exchange from the exports of Jute and Tea; meager representation of East Pakistan in the military and bureaucracy and the imposition of martial law in October 1958 deepened a sense of deprivation and nationalism among the Bengali population who happen to be in a majority.
The separation of East Pakistan is still a major source of debate particularly the justification to launch military action on March 25, 1971. Forty-seven years after the momentous events of March 1971 in which talks involving Yahya, Mujib and Bhutto to find a solution of standoff over Awami League's six points failed, the decision to launch 'operation search light' in order to restore the writ of the state proved to be counter — productive leading to the dismemberment of Pakistan on December 16, 1971.
Excessive use of force against Sindhi and Balochi non-conformists and nationalists became a reality in post-1971 Pakistan, which deepened a sense of deprivation and the surge of centrifugal forces in the two minority provinces
Rao Farman Ali Khan, who was an adviser on civil and political affairs to the Governor of the then East Pakistan (1969-71) in his book, How Pakistan Got Divided (Karachi: Oxford University Press, 2017) narrates, the circumstances leading to the launching of military operation that, "it was disappointing to note, however that both Mujib and Bhutto were more interested in acquiring power for themselves. It was a struggle for power, and the interests of the country meant nothing to them." Since March 7, the whole of East Pakistan was taken over by Awami League and the writ of the state was seriously challenged. Attacks on non-Bengalese and the West Pakistan armed forces along with stoppage of food to the cantonments were indicative of an impending revolt to be launched by the East Pakistan Rifles and East Bengal Regiment. Yet, was the use of excessive force against the supporters of Awami League was justified? Talks involving the Troika going on since March 20 when Bhutto arrived in Dhaka failed to render positive results as Bhutto refused to accept six points which he considered against the integrity of Pakistan and Mujib was not ready to be flexible on his party's six points. The role of President Yahya which should have been conciliatory, serious and responsible reflected his total ineptness to deal with a grave crisis threatening the break-up of Jinnah's Pakistan.
Archer K. Blood, who was the U.S Consul General in Dhaka during 1971 in his book, The Cruel Birth of Bangladesh Memories of an American Diplomat (Dhaka: University Press Limited, 2002) gives a profound account of how March 23 was celebrated in the then East Pakistan: "March 23 was also Pakistan Day, a not very happy coincidence. Mujib declared that Pakistan Day would be celebrated as Resistance Day in East Pakistan. Hundreds of the new Bangla Desh flags were flying in Dhaka, including over Mujib's house. The portrait of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, was burned by demonstrators outside Mujib's house, as was the Pakistan national flag. The foreign missions in Dacca were drawn into the flag issue as groups of Awami League youths went from one consular establishment to another, requesting, and sometimes demanding that the Bangla Desh flag be flown." Such was the environment in the then East Pakistan composed of total defiance of the state of Pakistan and the shifting of loyalty from Pakistan to what was called during those days the 'emerging state of Bangladesh.'
Three realities should be taken into account while analyzing with critical thinking the separation of East Pakistan. First, when Awami League had secured clear majority in December 7, 1970 general elections why power was not transferred to the majority party and why the inaugural session of national assembly which was scheduled to be held in Dhaka on March 3 was unilaterally postponed triggering widespread violence? If Mujib and Awami League were traitors and their six points were seditious why they were allowed to contest elections held under the Legal Framework Order? Second, the advice given by the then Governor of East Pakistan Admiral Ahsan and Martial Law Administrator Sahabzada Yaqub Khan not to seek a military option of a political crisis was turned down by the hawks in the military who happen to share their fear and mistrust about the loyalty of Awami League and Mujib. Their fear and threat perception became so obvious that President Yahya along with the top military brass on the hunting invitation of Bhutto visited Larkana in January 1971 where the conspiracy not to hand over power to Awami League and to launch military operation was hatched. Was it not unfair that President Yahya went to Bhutto's residence who was a leader of minority party but never had the courtesy to visit Mujib's house in Dhaka who was a leader of majority party? Discriminatory approach of the military regime which happened to represent West Pakistan further widened cleavage between East and West Pakistan.
Third, the reality of fear of Bengali majority ruling those who had oppressed them for around quarter of a century triggered brutal use of force to quell what was termed as 'miscreants' and 'anti-state elements'. On record, generals from West Pakistan had made it clear that they will not hand over power to the Bengalese despite clear victory of Awami League in December 1970 general elections. The dispatch of forces from West Pakistan to East Pakistan from January 1971 onwards also vindicated the perception that the generals had decided to militarily liquidate the dissent and uprising of Bengalese going on since the postponement of national assembly session on March 1.
Unfortunately, no lessons were learned from the separation of East Pakistan. Excessive use of force against non-conformist and nationalists of Balochistan and Sindh became a reality in post-1971 Pakistan thus deepening a sense of deprivation and the surge of centrifugal forces in the two minority provinces.

Combining AI With CCTV Will Make it Easier for Police to Catch Criminals
What does this mean for our privacy?

The All-Seeing AI
Surveillance cameras are ubiquitous, providing constant footage of public spaces like major intersections and bank tellers to even private front doorsteps. But integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and security camera technology, like CCTV, is only a recent development. That integration represents a significant improvement over prior surveillance, and one Florida-based company is at the forefront.
IC Realtime is responsible for introducing Ella, software that uses AI to analyze footage and return search results based on a selection of hundreds of thousands of natural language queries. Billed as "the Google of CCTV" by The Verge, Ella allows users to search through a footage database by looking for key indicators, even down to specific colors of clothing or even models of cars. The footage is then sorted by time period and given a simple thumbs up or thumbs down rating scale to improve future queries.

While Ella's functionality may not seem like much, its implications for surveillance and law enforcement are striking. Investigators may no longer have to spend hours pouring over surveillance footage, manually searching for suspects matching key indicators. Instead, Ella could do it, and potentially help police catch criminals sooner.
IC Realtime CEO Matt Sailor spoke with The Verge about the company's technology: "Let's say there's a robbery and you don't really know what happened. But there was a Jeep Wrangler speeding east afterward. So we go in, we search for 'Jeep Wrangler,' and there it is."
Pandemic of Paranoia
While homeowners are embracing surveillance as a new option for increased security, some people are skeptical about surveillance cameras' increased presence in society. Surveillance tech, particular when coupled with AI like Ella, could be abused in the wrong hands.
In China, where there are already 170 million CCTV cameras in place, with 400 million more set to be installed by 2020, the potential for abuse is clear. In a recent report from the BBC, reporter John Sudworth had his photo flagged to see how long it would take authorities to use their network of cameras and facial recognition software to capture him. Shockingly, it only took seven minutes. This technology could easily be abused by the government to track down journalists to limit information sharing, or monitor political opposition.
Of course, any improvements to the efficacy of law enforcement investigations are welcome developments. Ella has the potential to revolutionize police work. But at what point does the erosion of privacy offset the relative boosts in productivity or easily observable crimes? Rapidly developing AI programs will soon force society to decide what it wants to prioritize — freedoms or function.

Jake Fischer and Amanda Work of Swier Law Firm were featured in the Mitchell Daily Republic's recent article - "Five Years Later: Project Rural Practice."
Almost five years since South Dakota launched its first-of-its-kind program to recruit and retain attorneys in rural areas, Project Rural Practice is not only working - it's growing.
In 2014, Jake Fischer joined Swier Law Firm and became the first attorney in South Dakota to participate in Project Rural Practice. Jake now serves on several community boards and acknowledges that Project Rural Practice "ended upon being a fairly big motivator in bringing me back to South Dakota."
Soon after, Amanda Work joined Swier Law Firm's Winner office and became its second Project Rural Practice attorney. Very quickly, Amanda became a valuable member of the community by serving on several committee boards and as President of the Winner Chamber of Commerce.

Hamilton explains how Red Bull 'tag-team' dented Mexico victory hopes
Lewis Hamilton has sympathised with Mercedes' "hindered" strategy after finishing runner-up to Max Verstappen at the Mexican Grand Prix. The Mercedes driver was denied a first F1 win of the season by a comprehensive performance from Red Bull's Max Verstappen, who took the victory in Mexico. With Hamilton starting third behind teammate George Russell and Verstappen, Mercedes had high hopes of challenging for victory at the Hermanos Rodríguez Circuit. Hamilton and Russell started on the Medium-compound tyres, which Mercedes had hoped would lead to a stronger race strategy and secure them the win over the Red Bulls, who both started the race on Soft tyres. However, after Mercedes committed their drivers to a Medium-to-Hard tyre strategy, both Hamilton and Russell bemoaned the lack of pace from the hardest, most durable tyres. Mercedes were unable to reel in the Red Bulls, who had elected for a Soft-to-Medium tyre strategy, and did not succumb to excess degradation, as Mercedes had anticipated. Hamilton: A Perez undercut would have been 'race over' There had been calls from the Mercedes drivers to extend their Medium-tyre stints, which might have opened the door for running the Soft tyres at the end of the race, but Mercedes stuck to their intended strategy. Speaking after the race, Hamilton was asked if the Mercedes team considered extending their Medium-tyre stint and running the Soft tyres at the end of the race. "I kept telling them the tyres were fine, but I'm assuming that they were coming into my window," Hamilton told media, including RacingNews365.com . "Sergio [Perez] had already stopped, so I'm assuming they were much quicker than me perhaps. "So, if we stayed out longer, I would have come out behind Sergio and it would have been all over. I think that's the reason." Losing Russell 'hindered' strategy Mercedes' efforts to overcome Verstappen were hindered at the start when George Russell was demoted from second to fourth in the opening corners of the race. Russell was unable to regain the position and finished behind Perez, who took the final spot on the podium. Hamilton continued to explain that Perez taking third place at the start denied Mercedes the opportunity of working together to challenge Verstappen. "Unfortunately, at the beginning, obviously I had a good battle through Turn One and Two, but my teammate got jumped by Sergio. So I was basically tag-teamed by the Red Bulls. "It's very, very hard on strategy when you don't have both cars there. I think Sergio was able to come in and pull me in, which definitely hindered our strategy."


The winter months are often cold, rainy and snowy. Miserable weather makes us want to stay inside and hibernate. But many of us continue to fret about upcoming events, life demands and chores that we never really turn off our brains. Which makes proper rest an impossible task in the winter.
Yoga is a great way to calm the mind, body and soul. When you feel tense or stressed out yoga can help recalibrate the system. Stretching and holding isometric poses is a powerful way to gain strength, flexibility and core balance. If the winter has you feeling blue, try out a yoga class to help wipe away stress.
Taking mini moments throughout the day to pause and breathe can really help you feel calmer and balanced. Setting aside time every morning or evening to calm the mind will help push away winter stress. When we still ourselves, our body can relax and be calm. The mind tends to mellow out as well.
Curl up with your favorite snuggly blanket and catch some zzzzzz. Sleeping is one of the best ways to fight off cold, infections and stress. Most people sleep less then the recommended 8 hours a night. To ensure you have optimal health, make sure you are sleeping well. Which means turning off the lights completely, using a sleep mask if necessary and keeping pets and children off of the bed.
Make sure you take care of yourself in the winter. This means properly hydrating your body, and taking care of your personal hygiene. Including your oral hygiene. Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily. By practicing good health habits you will feel better and stress will most often stay away.
During the winter we forget to eat fresh fruits and vegetables because they are not readably available in some supper markets. But getting enough nutrients is very important for balance and over all stress management. Get enough vitamins and minerals from your food by juicing it. Juicing is a popular craze that has extended to the masses because it really works. It is an excellent way to get your vegetables and energy that you otherwise wouldn't have. Take your favorite vegetables and put them in the juicer for instant health in a glass.

Trump Fascism turns American Protesters into Felons.
Republicans and like minded voters just don't protest. It's a liberal thing, and they hate it.
The last time I saw conservative protesters was in 2011, when a group of seniors were bused in from areas around the state by Americans for Prosperity. No really, that happened.
Scott Walker's union busting agenda included regulations curtailing free speech and protesting. Just so you know, that didn't work out for him in the courts:
The Department of Administration (DOA) and Capitol Police havebeen ordered to arrest and cite protesters whose only offense is the silent carrying of a sign ... protesters have been cited for gathering for the "Solidarity Sing-along," a non-violent group of citizens who sing every day over the noon hour.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald's office sent a note to legislative offices warning staff not to congregate along the balcony during the protests. "If you are in the vicinity of the illegal demonstrations that have been taking place over the noon hour in the rotunda, you will be considered part of the protests and are subject to being ticketed," the message said.
Capitol Police Chief Dave Erwin is installing panic buttons in some lawmakers' offices, changing the look of his officers' uniforms (banning facial hair) and raising some eyebrows with a suggestion to female legislative aides that they be prepared to hit demonstrators if they feel threatened and cornered. "There's a time and a place. But every day, every day, you've got to think about that," Erwin said.
The new DOA policy allows fees to be imposed on the indigent as a condition of protesting, it vests unbounded discretion in the Capitol police to determine whether to impose advance fees for security costs, and it requires permits from small groups of four or more protesters. Capitol Police were enforcing a rule in the state administrative code that required a permit to hold a sign on state property.
Nass said, "If they were arrested vigorously, I believe that would slow them [protesters]."
Gov. Scott Walker's administration could hold demonstrators liable for costs for extra police presence or cleanup and repairs following protests at the Capitol.
Trump takes it to the Next Level: And now we have the latest attempt to make even the original tea party participants felons:
"It's crazy, a few windows got smashed," 23-year-old Olivia Alsip said, two months after her arrest on felony riot charges. "Why are 214 people looking at ten years in prison?"
Alsip only knew one other person at the protest march that day. The political science graduate student from the University of Chicago had met her partner in November, when the two had joined the camps at Standing Rock opposing the Dakota Access Pipeline. When they heard about calls to protest Donald J. Trump's inauguration in D.C. on January 20th under the banner "Disrupt J20," they felt they had to be there. "I identify as an anarchist, and I've been an activist for women's and queer rights since the 8th grade," Alsip told me over the phone from Chicago.
Alsip is among 214 defendants facing felony riot charges, up to a decade in prison and a $25,000 fine for their participation in the anti-capitalist, anti-fascist march, which ended with a mass arrest on the morning of Inauguration Day.
Alsip didn't break or throw anything. Now she lives in shock over the steep price she and her fellow protesters might pay as the new administration and police forces set the tone for how they will deal with the spike in organized dissent ... narchists and anti-fascist activists across the country have responded to Trump's ascendancy, and particularly the attendant emboldening of white supremacists, with confrontational protest.
Veteran D.C. attorney Mark Goldstone, of the charges. Goldstone, who has defended dozens of activist cases and is representing six of the J20 defendants, called the charges "unprecedented territory." The government has already proven its willingness to set what Goldstone called "a monstrous trap" for protesters, by leveraging high risk trials against paper-thin cases.
"It definitely hits in waves," Alsip told me. "I'm nervous. I try to think that even if I do go to prison, I would remain committed, and politically active. But," she paused, "I just can't believe that my thoughts have to go there. And that we're all facing this." Another pause. "A few broken windows."

Q: Batch: how to check variables in the same batch with spaces in them I would like to know if its possible to use spaces in variables in the same batch file and compare it with another variable even though they both have spaces in them.
Example:
@echo off
CLS
set var1=variable 1
set var2=variable 2
IF %var1%==%var2% (
goto matches
) else (
goto doesnt
)
:matches
echo.
echo  Both the Variables Match!
echo.
pause
exit
:doesnt
echo.
echo  Both the Variables DO NOT Match!
echo.
pause
exit

just adding that code as an example since a simple way of learning it i could use it as a reference to help me remember.
Showing me how to make the example above to work, would help me greatly if its possible to match variables while still containing its spaces. I know a good bit about Batch, just don't exactly know how to get spaces to work in variables in that way. Thanks for your time, hopefully there's a Solution.

A: Enclosing the values in quotes, as per the malexander answer, will typically work. But it can fail if the value already contains quotes.
If you want to successfully compare values in variables no matter what the content, then you need delayed expansion:
setlocal enableDelayedExpansion
if !var! == !var2!

A: Put quotes around the variables.
IF "%var1%"=="%var2%"

Around autumn my cravings for hot chocolates and comforting porridges seem to explode. I mean, I am a huge fan of warm oats in general but a good hot chocolate will always do it too.
Then I thought why not having both at the same time and the result pleased me big time. Marrons give it a slightly nutty taste and them being butter roasted is probably the closest heaven can get in your mouth.
I added blueberry compote and a few more blueberries on top, to give it a juicy, fruity touch. The chocolate and marrons can get very heavy and I do recommend putting a hint of fruity taste to it.
Step 1 In a small sauce pan bring cashew milk to a heat, then add cocoa powder and 2 tbsp maple syrup.
Soon as the chocolate milk is very hot, take off the stove and add oats. Stir well through and let sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile cut marrons into small pieces, add vegan butter to a small skillet or sauce pan and soon as it is melted, add the marrons to it. Keep stirring for 2 minutes and add one tsp maple syrup.
Pour porridge in a bowl and top with marrons, cashew butter and blueberries.
I can't wait to try this. Love your creations!

CDC Chairman Considers Suing Matichon Over 'Misleading' Reports
Bowornsak Uwanno holding a copy of Matichon newspaper in a press conference on 2 March, 2015.
BANGKOK – The chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) said he is considering filing a lawsuit against Matichon newspaper for two "misleading"news reports.
Bowornsak Uwanno told reporters in a press conference today that he was misquoted in a Matichon column and falsely described in a separate article as the reason behind a former CDC member's recent resignation.
Asked whether he would take any legal action against Matichon, Bowornsak said that he is "considering" a libel lawsuit against the newspaper.
"I don't want to say anything about the lawsuit, because I may be accused of threatening the media, but I believe there should be some lesson in this matter," Bowornsak said. "Since you asked – since a reporter asked – please be a witness: I am not threatening to sue anyone. I am merely considering it."
On 1 March, a Matichon columnist, under the pseudonym "Gartong," wrote the following next to a photo of Bowornsak speaking at press conference:
"Ultimately the constitution that is being drafted will serve the idea that "people are not yet ready to have equal rights, because most people still lack knowledge, thoughts, and conscience of a true democracy. Therefore, the system cannot build quality politicians. It opens the way for a certain group of people to use elections to benefit their personal interests. We need to design a new political system to bar stupid and idiotic people. We should only allow them some level of rights.""
The quote was lifted from the column and widely shared on social media among Redshirts, many of whom are farmers in Thailand's rural provinces and often cast by conservatives as "too uneducated" to be trusted with electing the country's leaders.
Thakoon Boonparn, an executive of Matichon Group, which owns Matichon and Khaosod, later posted a statement on Facebook conceding that the use of quotation marks in the column was misleading. However, he wrote that those who read the article "carefully and with a neutral heart" would realize that the quoted section was intended as a paraphrase of Bowornsak's ideas, not a direct quote.
He also wrote that Matichon's editorial board would publish a formal statement about the incident in the newspaper, and stressed that Matichon is willing to apologize for its mistakes.
"Matichon and other businesses in the Group are media agencies that are routinely scrutinized and criticized," Thakoon said in his Facebook post. "Sometimes we commit errors, like all humans do, but we are ready to apologize for these mistakes and fix them. They were not intended to defame anyone. And we are ready to listen to criticism and scrutiny from society that is reasoned, fact-based, and free of any prejudice."
In a press conference today, CDC chairman Bowornsak held up Thakoon's statement and said that it was too "half-hearted" and full of "personal bias."
"I'd to urge this newspaper to show its moral courage and responsibility, so that I may have fairness," Bowornsak said.
The CDC chairman also criticized Matichon over a separate article that suggested he was behind women's rights activist Thicha na Nahkon's recent resignation from the CDC and the National Reform Council (NRC).
The article, published on 1 March, quoted an unnamed source as saying that an argument broke out between Thicha and other CDC members, including Bowornsak, when she tried to propose that the new charter should require a quota of female representatives in parliament. The report was titled, "Angered at Bowornsak on Women Rights Issues, Thicha Tearfully Resigns from CDC – NRC."
Bowornsak called the article baseless and misleading.
"It makes people think that I was the reason that Ms. Thicha resigned, and that I am opposed to women's rights, whereas in reality I have been supporting women's rights since the beginning," he said.
Bowornsak, a conservative law scholar, was appointed chairman of the CDC and deputy chairman of the NRC by the military junta following the military coup on 22 May 2014.
The CDC is expected to complete a draft of the new constitution – Thailand's 20th since democracy was established in 1932 – by September of this year.

El Modelo de Baddeley-Hitch es una hipótesis explicativa de cómo funciona la memoria humana. El modelo fue propuesto por Alan Baddeley y Graham Hitch el 1974, y se trata de una explicación más precisa que las propuestas anteriormente sobre la memoria a corto y largo plazo Para hacer su explicación los autores crearon el concepto de memoria de trabajo, expresión con la cual es conocido también este modelo.
Este modelo ha sido más aceptado que el de Atkinson-Shiffrin, en el cual se inspiró, a pesar de que trabajos posteriores otros colaboradores, han ampliado la explicación y han ofrecido modelos alternativos según nuevas perspectivas. El mismo Baddeley ha hecho varios retoques a la propuesta inicial, motivo por el cual algunos libros citan este modelo usando solo el nombre de este autor.

La idea central es que, cuando estamos haciendo una tarea, usamos un tipo específico de memoria (la memoria de trabajo) donde un sistema de regulación decide qué datos acabados de obtener hay que almacenar temporalmente porque nos serán útiles mientras se realiza la tarea que nos hemos propuesto y qué datos hay que recuperar de los conocimientos adquiridos ya hace tiempos (la memoria a largo plazo) porque también nos serán útiles en relación con el que estamos haciendo.

Antecedentes
Baddeley y Hitch propusieron su modelo explicativo de la memoria, que funciona en dos niveles, como alternativa al Modelo de Atkinson–Shiffrin del 1968, que describía tres niveles. Según aquel modelo el procesamiento de la memoria pasa por tres niveles: un sensorial, otro a corto plazo y un tercero a largo plazo.[1]Baddeley y Hitch, engloban los anteriores conceptos de memoria sensorial y memoria a corto plazo en un solo sistema, la memoria de trabajo, con la intención de mejorar la explicación del funcionamiento de la memoria a corto plazo.

Componentes del modelo de Baddeley-Hitch
El modelo de memoria ideado originalmente por Baddeley y Hitch tiene tres componentes: una área central ejecutiva que actúa como sistema supervisor y controla el flujo de información desde y hacia los sistemas encadenados que son: el bucle fonológico y los esbozos de representación viso-espaciales. El bucle fonológico almacena contenido verbal, mientras que el otro captura los datos viso-espaciales. Estos sistemas encadenados solo funcionan como memoria a corto plazo. El año 2000 Baddeley añadió un tercer sistema encadenado a su modelo original, el seleccionador de la memoria episódica.

La central ejecutiva es un sistema flexible responsable del control y regulación de los procesos cognitivos. Tiene las entrada de información de varias fuentes transformándola en episodios coherentes
 coordinación de los sistemas encadenados
 alternar entre la ejecución de tareas o la recuperación de datos y estrategias de la memoria
 seleccionar cuando hay que dirigir la atención o inhibirla
Se puede considerar en conjunto como un sistema supervisor que controla los procesos cognitivos y que interviene cuando se desvían.

Usando el paradigma de la tarea dual, Baddeley y Erses encontraron, por ejemplo, que los pacientes con demencia causada por Alzheimer se veían con dificultades cuando se los pedía que realizaran varias tareas simultáneamente, incluso cuando la dificultad de cada tarea estaba adaptada a sus habilidades.[2]
Las investigaciones más recientes sobre la función ejecutiva sugieren que la supuesta central ejecutiva no es tal como la concibieron Baddeley y Hitch; más bien parece que existen funciones ejecutivas separadas que pueden variar mucho entre individuos y que se pueden, por separado, alterar o reutilizar con una función que antes no tenían, cuando se produce una lesión cerebral.[3]
 Bucle fonológico
El bucle fonológico, también llamado bucle articulatorio, es donde se procesa la información sonora o fonológica. Consta de dos apartados: un almacén fonológico con pistas de memoria auditiva que están sujetas a una rápida degradación o desaparición, y un apartado de recuperación para la práctica articulatoria (a veces dicho bucle articulatorio) capaz de retomar las pistas de la memoria.

Cualquier información verbal auditiva entra directamente al archivo fonológico. El lenguaje presentado visualmente puede ser transformado al código fonológico con una articulación silenciosa y, por lo tanto, ser codificado dentro del archivo de memoria fonológico. Esta  transformación viene facilitada por el proceso de control articulatorio. El archivo fonológico actúa como una "oreja interna", recordando sueños hablados en orden temporal, mientras que el proceso articulatorio actúa como una "voz interna" que repite las series de palabras (u otros elementos del discurso) en un bucle para prevenir su desaparición o decaimiento. El bucle fonológico puede tener una intervención decisiva en la adquisición de vocabulario, en especial durante los primeros años de la niñez.[4] También puede ser clave en cuanto al aprendizaje de una segunda lengua.

Las pruebas que apoyan a la existencia del bucle fonológico son cinco principalmente:
 El efecto de la similitud fonológica:Las listas de palabras que suenan de forma parecida son más difíciles de recordar que las palabras que suenan diferente. La similitud semántica (parecidos en el significado) tienen, en comparación poco efecto, y esto apoya a la idea que la información verbal se encuentra codificada en gran parte en cuanto a su fonética dentro de la memoria de trabajo.[5][6]
 El efecto de supresión de la articulación:La memoria de material verbal no funciona correctamente cuando a una persona se le pide que diga algo irrelevante en voz alta mientras estaba diciendo la lista memorizada. Se asume que esto es debido a un bloqueo del proceso de recuperación de información por emprar en la práctica, por lo tanto, las pistas de la memoria en el bucle fonológico han decaído hasta desaparecer.[7]
 La transferencia de información entre códigos:En datos presentados visualmente, los adultos acostumbran a nombrarlas y pronunciarlas, de forma que la información es transferida de un código visual a un código auditivo. La supresión de la articulación impide su transferencia, y en este caso, el efecto de similitud fonológica antes mencionado, es eliminado cuando los ítems se presentan solo visualmente.[8]
 Las evidencias neuropsicològiques:Un almacenamiento fonológico defectuoso explica la conducta de pacientes con un específico déficit en la memoria fonológica a corto plazo. Los pacientes afásicos con dispraxia verbal congénita son incapaces de poner en marcha los códigos motores del habla necesarios para la articulación, debido a una deficiencia en el proceso de recuperación de la memoria por la práctica de la articulación.[9]
Por otro lado, los pacientes con disartria, los cuales tienen problemas de habla secundarios, muestran una capacidad normal para posar en práctica el lenguaje recuperándolo de la memoria. Esto sugiere que el ensayo interno de la pronunciación (la práctica subvocal) es crucial.[10]

Además, hay mucha bibliografía acumulada por la investigación durante décadas, que aporta una base sólida a la teoría de la existencia del sistema fonológico de memoria. En un estudio del 1971, Stephen Madigan demostró que un efecto prolongado de recència se puede observar cuando se recuerda una serie de palabras (de la primera hacia la última) que previamente se han presentado en una lista auditiva, en comparación con una lista presentada visualmente. Un efecto menor se observa cuando se invierte la orden de recuperación de la memoria (de la última palabra de la lista hasta la primera).[11] En su estudio, la presentación  auditiva puerta a un mayor recuerdo de los datos estudiados más recientemente. Catherine Penney amplió este descubrimiento al observar que los efectos modales se pueden encontrar también en el caso de las tareas en que se utiliza la recuperación de la información de forma libre, sin seguir un orden.[12] El 1965, Dallett descubrió que este efecto modal se reduce mucho con la adición de un "dato sufijo" a la lista presentada; este sufijo es un elemento de distracción que no hay que recordar.[13] Robert Greene utilizó esta observación el 1987 para descubrir que este efecto del sufijo tiene un impacto más grande en listas aprendidas auditivamente, en comparación a las listas visuales.[14] La culminación de todos estos descubrimientos ha dado como resultado ser una sólida base que apoya a la teoría que propone la existencia de una memoria a corto plazo que almacena información fonética aprendida recientemente. Además, Bloom y Watkins encontraron que el efecto sufijo disminuye bastante cuando el sufijo no se interpreta como sonido lingüístico, y esto concuerda con la teoría de la memoria fonológica a corto plazo, puesto que no  estaría afectado por elementos distractors no lingüísticos.[15]
 Los esbozos de representación visuo-espacial
Se da por supuesto que hay un sistema de esbozos visuo-espaciales que procesa la información procedente del que vemos. Es de utilidad para el archivo temporal y por la manipulación de la información visual y espacial, como por ejemplo recordar formas y colores o la localización en el espacio y la velocidad de un objeto que se mueve. También tiene relación con tareas que implican planificar y calcular movimientos espaciales, por ejemplo recordar qué atajo tenemos que coger para salir de un edificio grande. El sistema de esbozos visoespaciales puede dividirse en sistemas separados: uno de visual, un espacial y posiblemente otro quinestésico (en relación con el movimiento). Está principalmente localizado en el hemisferio derecho del cerebro.[16]

Robert Logie ha propuesto que el sistema de esbozos de representación visuo-espacial se podría subdividir en dos componentes:
 El archivo de memoria visual (visual cache), que desa la información relacionada con la forma y el color.
 El marcador interno (inner scribe), que procesa la información espacial y de movimiento. También recupera información del archivo de memoria visual (visual cache) y la transfiere hacia la central ejecutiva.
La distinción entre visual y espacial del sistema de esbozos visuo-espaciales se fundamenta en tres evidencias:
 Hay menos interferencia entre las tareas visual y espaciales que entre dos tareas visuales o entre dos tareas espaciales.[18]
 Las lesiones cerebrales pueden influir en una de estas partes sin influir en la otra.
 Los estudios con imágenes del cerebro muestran que las tareas que implican usar la memoria de trabajo con objetos visuales activan muchas áreas del hemisferio izquierdo, mientras que las tareas que implican información espacial activan más áreas en el hemisferio derecho.[19]
El año 2000 Baddeley añadió un cuarto componiendo al modelo original, el regulador episòdic. Este componente es un tercer sistema encadenado a la central ejecutiva, dedicado a enlazar información para formar unidades integradas de información visual, espacial y verbal con una secuencia de tiempo (o en una ordenación cronológica), comparable a la memoria de una película que se puede ordenar en secuencias. Se asume que el regulador episódico tiene conexión con la memoria a largo plazo y con el significado semántico.[16]

La principal motivación para introducir este componente fue la observación que algunos pacientes (en particular los muy inteligentes) con amnesia, de los cuales se esperaba que no tendrían habilidad para codificar la información nueva a largo plazo, pero que no obstante podían recordar bien historias a corto plazo, recuperando mucha más información de la que pudiera provenir del bucle fonológico.[20]

Según la neurociencia
Hay muchas pruebas provenientes de estudios neurológicos que demuestran la existencia de un regulador de la memoria de uso reciente diferenciado de la memoria a largo plazo. El bucle fonológico parece estar conectado a la activación del hemisferio izquierdo, en concreto con el lóbulo temporal. El sistema de esbozos de representación visuo-espacial activa diferentes áreas dependiendo de la dificultad de la tarea; las tareas menos difíciles parecen activar el lóbulo occipital, mientras que las tareas complejas activan el lóbulo parietal. La central ejecutiva es todavía un misterio, a pesar de que se cree que está más o menos localizada en el lóbulo frontal del cerebro. El regulador episòdic parece estar localizado en los dos hemisferios con activaciones al lóbulo frontal, al lóbulo temporal y a la porción izquierda del hipocampo (Rudner y alto., 2007). En estudios genéticos se ha encontrado que el gen ROBO1 está relacionado con el regulador fonológico, ya sea íntegramente o una parte del ene.[21][22]

Validez del modelo
La gran aceptación del modelo de Baddeley se debe al hecho de que integra un gran número de descubrimientos procedentes de investigaciones sobre la memoria a corto plazo. Además, los mecanismos de los sistemas encadenados a la central ejecutiva, en especial el bucle fonológico, han servido para inspirar nuevos estudios en psicología experimental y neuropsicología.

No obstante, también ha recibido críticas, por ejemplo en cuanto al bucle fonológico, puesto que algunos detalles encontrados a los estudios no se explican fácilmente con el modelo original de Baddeley y Hitch.[23][24]

El regulador episódico se considera un añadido necesario del modelo de memoria de trabajo, pero no se ha investigado lo suficiente y sus funciones permanecen poco claras.

CREWE, Va – As of 7:50 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 18, all known, storm-related power outages caused when remnants of Hurricane Michael moved through Southside Electric Cooperative's (SEC) territory have been restored.
At the peak of the devastating event on Thursday, Oct. 11, over 40,000 SEC members lost power.
Due to the significant amount of cleanup and infrastructure restoration across our service territory, there will be isolated cases over the next few days where some members may experience brief, temporary outages.
SEC wishes to sincerely thank our members for their patience during the extended outage event. It was a team effort of Cooperative employees, mutual aid crews and contract crews to restore electricity to our members. SEC thanks everyone for their non-stop efforts over the last week.
