Using the "Dishwasher Diagnostics" section below, simply identify your issue and click the link. From there, you'll be led to the relevant step-by-step solution.
Should you still find yourself without a solution or you are looking for professional to help with your dishwasher repair in Perth – don't hesitate to get in touch today.
Before you go off and start dismantling your dishwasher with surgical like precision, always heed this.
Anytime you're performing a repair that DOES NOT require you turn the dishwasher on, unplug the unit or turn the breaker off at the electrical panel.
Electricity and water do not mix well!
After running your dishwasher, if your dishes are still spotty, stained or covered with residue, you have 3 possible solutions. All of which are pretty straightforward.
Do not overload the dishwasher and use the right detergent (you can find this information in the owners' manual).
Over time, the detergent may build up and cause residue or scaling to clog the holes in the spray arm.
To remove any debris from the holes, simply remove the spray arm by turning the cap clockwise and lift it off. Using steel wire or a hanger, gently feed the wire through the holes in the spray arm to loosen any debris.
Alternatively, you can soak the spray arm in white vinegar. Over time, the vinegar will naturally break down old soap and scale buildup.
Reattach the spray arm and cap and give it a whirl to see if there's improvement.
3. Check to see if it's getting enough water.
During the operating cycle, when you hear the dishwasher stop filling, open the door to check the water level. The water should reach or come close to the heating coil. If it doesn't, check to ensure the float valve is moving freely up and down and not full of debris.
So you've loaded the dishwasher, ready to get on with your day only to find the dishwasher won't start. There's not a single sign of life on the control panel. No lights, no sounds -frankly, you don't even know if it's getting power.
1. Check to ensure the door is latched and closed properly.
This should be pretty straight forward. Make sure the door is firmly closed and latched.
2. Check to ensure the breaker hasn't tripped.
Check the electrical panel in your home or apartment to be sure you haven't accidentally tripped a breaker. If so, a simple reset will do the trick.
If your dishwasher plugs into an outlet (as opposed to be hardwired) check the GFCI outlet and reset it.
If this doesn't kickstart your dishwasher back into gear, it may be time to call in the recruits.
At this stage the usual suspects are the faulty door switch, door latch, a thermal fuse, or (god forbid) the control board – and you may have to call in a local appliance tech to solve these common dishwasher problems.
It's tough to clean the dishes with detergent alone. If your dishwasher is not filling with water, here are the possible culprits.
The float rises as water fills the dishwasher. Once it reaches a preset level, the water will switch off. If the float is stuck, this may be the reason why it won't fill.
To check the float, remove the float assembly cover. It's usually easily identified on the bottom basin inside your dishwasher.
Now, try raising and lowering the float. It should move quite easily. If it doesn't, check for any debris and remove it.
Unplug your dishwasher or turn the breaker off at the electrical panel.
Using a the multimeter, check the float switch (found under the dishwasher, behind the kickplate). Disconnect the wires that attach to it. If the meter reading is anything other than zero (when the float is lowered) or infinite (when the float is lifted up), you'll need to replace the float switch to repair the dishwasher.
A clogged filter screen on the water inlet valve can cause your dishwasher not to fill.
You'll find this valve behind the kickplate. It's the one with hoses connected to it. Firstly, ensure the hoses are securely connected and not kinked anywhere. If the hoses seem undamaged, turn off the water supply to the dishwasher and remove them.
Remove the two or four wires (depending on dishwasher type) from the inlet valve. Label them so you'll be sure to reconnect them properly. Unscrew the water inlet valve and check the screen for any debris.
If it appears clean and clear, use a multimeter to check the solenoids on the valve itself. If the multimeter reading is infinite, it's time for a trip to the appliance store. You need to replace the water inlet valve.
If you're looking to "catch a wave" in the privacy of your kitchen, this may not be an issue. However, if you're just looking to run the dishwasher, a steady stream of water is not what you need.
You'll find this valve behind the kickplate. Once again, it's the one with hoses connected to it.
Remove the two or four wires (depending on dishwasher type) from the inlet valve. Label them so you'll be sure to reconnect them properly.
Using a multimeter, check the solenoids on the valve itself. If the multimeter reading is infinite, the solenoid has failed and it's time for a trip to the appliance store. You need to replace the water inlet valve.
Unplug your dishwasher or turn the breaker of at the electrical panel.
Using a the multimeter, check the float switch (found under the dishwasher, behind the kickplate). Disconnect and label the wires that attach to it.
If the meter reading is anything other than zero (when lowered) or infinite (when lifted up), you'll need to replace the float switch to repair the dishwasher.
Unless you're on a sinking ship, you don't want to be frantically bailing buckets full of water. Thankfully, your dishwasher draining is not a matter of life or death. But leaving standing, dirty water in the base of your dishwasher tub in not a good idea.
Here's how to deal with a dishwasher that doesn't drain.
The drain hose is connected to the tailpiece under the sink and continues to the basin under the tub of your dishwasher. The drain hose is usually clear and transparent, making any blockages easy to spot.
Inspect the drain hose the entire length and clear out any blockages.
Usually located in the center of the basin, you'll find the dishwasher filter.
To access it, carefully remove the screws that connect the filter cover. Lift the cover off to access the strainer.
To ensure you don't accidently clog the pipes further, place a cloth over the small opening of the filter before cleaning.
Using a rag and a cleaning agent wipe down the area, remove any debris and buildup. A small brush will give you access the tight, hard to access spots.
Replace cover and screws. Be sure not to overtighten them.
This one seems obvious but it does happen.
If you've recently installed a new tailpiece to your kitchen plumbing or a garbage disposal unit, check and make sure the cap has been popped or cut off the newly installed tailpiece that connects to your sink.
5. Can You Hear The Pump During Drain Cycle?
Dishwashers don't drain by gravity, they have a pump. And if you don't hear the pump – the problem is an electrical one, not a plumbing issue.
At this stage the usual suspects are the impeller, pump, or the control board – and you may have to call in a local appliance tech to assist with these issues.
You don't want to ignore a leaky dishwasher. And despite the possible structural damage, the rotting floorboards, or the festering mould and mildew it may also lead to bigger problems if it's not dealt with promptly.
Here's 3 simple checks to repair a dishwasher leak.
Dishwasher have a rubber gasket that continues along the perimeter of the door which keeps the water and soap on the inside of the dishwasher, and not on your kitchen floor. Over time, this gasket can dry out, crack or form a tear.
Inspect the gasket visually for any tears or cracks.
To replace, simply locate the rubber gasket on the inside of the door. Using your fingers or needle nose pliers, remove the old gasket by pulling it out of the recessed channel. Then use a rag or paper towel to clean any debris from the channel.
Hold the new gasket in the middle so that an equal amount hangs to either side. Starting at the top center of the door, use your fingers (no sharp objects, please) to press the gasket into the channel. Continue to insert the gasket into the recessed channel along both sides.
At this point, you want to examine the ends of the gasket so that no more than ¾" protrudes from the channel on either side. You can trim using a utility knife if necessary.
Remove the kickplate at the bottom of the dishwasher and visually inspect the hoses for any obvious leaks.
Run you hand along the length of all hoses feeling for any evidence of a leak.
If you find the exterior of the hose to be wet, replace the hose. Duct tape won't cut it, sorry.
Also, pay special attention to the connection points – where the hoses connect to your dishwasher.
If there's evidence of water at these points, it may just be the clamp needs to be tightened.
If your dishwasher is unlevel it can cause a leak.
If it's leaning too far forward, the water displacement will be higher than it's meant to. The water level should always be just below the lower edge of the door.
To check it, turn the dishwasher on and allow it to fill. Once the fill cycle is complete and you hear the water shut off, open the door and verify the water level is just below the lower edge of the door.
Well, there you have it. Some simple dishwasher repair solutions to some of the most common problems.
While these may not be the only dishwasher malfunctions you run into, these are, without a doubt, the most frequently occurring calls we receive.


In the US Open 2011 we will have two of the favourites going head to head for the big match in the semifinal of the US Open 2011. This is the match where Roger Federer will be hoping to play at his best against hot shot at the moment Novak Djokovic. Anyone winning this match will go into the next match which is a final as the favourite to win it regardless of the opponent. Since Djokovic is having the best year of his career so far he will be eager to get another win over Federer this year.
Both of the players likes to play on the hard courts and Federer although not in good form at the moment he will be looking to contain Djokovic and somehow get a win over Serb. Djokovic on the other hand is in form of his life at the moment and he is coming into this match on the back of winning the Wimbledon.


This article is about the Scottish dish. For the card game, see Haggis (card game). For the tour operator, see HAGGiS Adventures.
Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and nowadays often in an artificial casing. According to the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique: "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour".
It is believed that food similar to haggis (though not so named), perishable offal quickly cooked inside an animal's stomach, all conveniently available after a hunt, was eaten from ancient times.
Although the name "hagws" or "hagese" was first used in England c1430, the dish came to be considered traditionally Scottish, even the national dish, as a result of Scots poet Robert Burns' poem Address to a Haggis of 1787. Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties", boiled and mashed separately, and a dram (a glass of Scotch whisky), especially as the main course of a Burns supper.
Haggis is popularly assumed to be of Scottish origin, but there is a lack of historical evidence that could conclusively attribute its origins to any one place. The first known written recipes for a dish of the name made with offal and herbs, are, as "hagese", in the verse cookbook Liber Cure Cocorum dating from around 1430 in Lancashire, North West England, and, as "hagws of a schepe" from an English cookbook also of c1430.
The Scottish poem Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy, which is dated before 1520 (the generally accepted date prior to the death of William Dunbar, one of the composers), refers to 'haggeis'.
The gallowis gaipis eftir thy graceles gruntill, As thow wald for ane haggeis, hungry gled.
An early printed recipe for haggis appears in 1615 in "The English Huswife" by Gervase Markham. It contains a section entitled "Skill in Oate meale".
Food writer Alan Davidson suggests that the Ancient Romans were the first known to have made products of the haggis type. Even earlier, a kind of primitive haggis is referred to in Homer's Odyssey, in book 20, (towards the end of the eighth century BC) when Odysseus is compared to "a man before a great blazing fire turning swiftly this way and that a stomach full of fat and blood, very eager to have it roasted quickly." Haggis was "born of necessity, as a way to utilize the least expensive cuts of meat and the innards as well."
Clarissa Dickson Wright says that it "came to Scotland in a longship [i.e., from Scandinavia] even before Scotland was a single nation." She cites etymologist Walter William Skeat as further suggestion of possible Scandinavian origins: Skeat claimed that the hag– element of the word is derived from the Old Norse haggw or the Old Icelandic hoggva (höggva in modern Icelandic), Modern Scots hag, meaning 'to hew' or strike with a sharp weapon, relating to the chopped-up contents of the dish.
Dickson Wright suggests that haggis was invented as a way of cooking quick-spoiling offal near the site of a hunt, without the need to carry along an additional cooking vessel. The liver and kidneys could be grilled directly over a fire, but this treatment was unsuitable for the stomach, intestines, or lungs. Chopping up the lungs and stuffing the stomach with them and whatever fillers might have been on hand, then boiling the assembly—probably in a vessel made from the animal's hide—was one way to make sure these parts were not wasted.
In the absence of hard facts as to haggis' origins, popular folklore has provided some notions. One is that the dish originates from the days of the old Scottish cattle drovers. When the men left the Highlands to drive their cattle to market in Edinburgh the women would prepare rations for them to eat during the long journey down through the glens. They used the ingredients that were most readily available in their homes and conveniently packaged them in a sheep's stomach allowing for easy transportation during the journey. Other speculations have been based on Scottish slaughtering practices. When a chieftain or laird required an animal to be slaughtered for meat (whether sheep or cattle) the workmen were allowed to keep the offal as their share.
A joke sometimes maintained is that a haggis is a small Scottish animal with longer legs on one side, so that it can run around the steep hills of the Scottish Highlands without falling over. The Hebridean Haggis is "thought" to be the original native species. The Lewis Haggis is different from the Haggis on the mainland: unlike its mainland relative all its legs are of the same length. According to one poll, 33% of American visitors to Scotland believed haggis to be an animal.
Haggis is traditionally served as part of the Burns supper on or near January 25, the birthday of Scotland's national poet Robert Burns. Burns wrote the poem Address to a Haggis, which starts "Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!" In Burns's lifetime haggis was a common dish of the poor as it was nourishing yet very cheap, being made from leftover parts of sheep otherwise thrown away.
Haggis is widely available in supermarkets in Scotland all year, with cheaper brands normally packed in artificial casings, rather than stomachs. Sometimes haggis is sold in tins or a container which can cooked in a microwave or conventional oven. Some commercial haggis is largely made from pig, rather than sheep, offal. Kosher haggis, not only pork-free but fully conformant to Jewish dietary laws, is produced.
Haggis is often served in Scottish fast-food establishments deep fried in batter. Together with chips, this comprises a "haggis supper". A "haggis burger" is a patty of fried haggis served on a bun. A "haggis pakora" is another deep fried variant, available in some Indian restaurants in Scotland. Haggis can be used as an ingredient in other dishes, even pizza, rather than the main part of a dish.
Since the 1960s various Scottish shops and manufacturers have made what they call vegetarian haggis, substituting various pulses, nuts and vegetables for the meat.
A traditional haggis recipe describes haggis as "sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animals stomach and boiled". Ingredients are sheep stomach, heart and lungs of one lamb, lamb, onions, oatmeal, salt, pepper, stock, and water, with optional ingredients dried coriander, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It can be boiled, baked, or deep fried.
Scotch whisky is often said to be the traditional accompaniment for haggis, though this may simply be because both are traditionally served at a Burns supper.
Haggis company MacSween conducted a taste-test which indicated that whisky is a proper accompaniment, and adds that lighter-bodied, tannic red wines, such as those made from the Barbera grape, are also suitable, as are strong, powerfully flavoured British ales.
Haggis platter at a Burns Supper in the U.S.
Haggis remains popular with expatriate Scots in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, owing to the strong influence of Scottish culture, especially for Burns Suppers. It can easily be made in any country, but is sometimes imported from Scotland. A recipe from the Canadian province of New Brunswick uses pork and bakes it in a loaf pan.
In 1971 it became illegal to import haggis into the US from the UK due to a ban on food containing sheep lung, which constitutes 10 to 15% of the traditional recipe. The situation was further complicated in 1989 when all UK beef and lamb was banned from importation to the US due to a BSE crisis. In 2010 a spokeswoman for the US Department of Agriculture stated that they were reviewing the ban on beef and lamb products, but that the ban on food containing sheep lung would remain in force.
As haggis cannot be exported to the United States, it is instead made there, sometimes by Scottish companies. One such uses what is stated to be the same 150-year-old recipe and ingredients as in Scotland, except that sheep lung is not used, and the casing is always artificial.
Haggis is used in a sport called haggis hurling, which involves throwing a haggis as far as possible. The world record for haggis hurling was achieved by Lorne Coltart on 11 June 2011, who hurled his haggis Script error: No such module "convert".. This throw surpassed the longstanding previous record of Script error: No such module "convert"., held by Alan Pettigrew since 1984.
On October 8, 2008, competitive eater Eric "Steakbellie" Livingston set a world record by consuming Script error: No such module "convert". of haggis in 8 minutes on WMMR radio in Philadelphia.
During the Korean War, the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders received Script error: No such module "convert". of haggis from the No. 30 Transport Unit RAAF during "Operation Haggis."

Q: Karma-jasmine not installing I'm new to Unit Testing so I only got to know Jasmine and Karma today.
I installed Karma:
npm init
npm install karma --save-dev
npm install -g karma-cli
npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev
npm install karma-chrome-launcher --save-dev
karma init

However when I try to launch karma start karma.conf.js it throws me an error:

I've tried to install the core globally:
npm install -g jasmine-core

but that didn't solve it.
When I try installing npm install karma-jasmine I get an error saying:
 karma-jasmine@0.3.6 requires a peer of jasmine-core@* but none was installed.

A: https://github.com/karma-runner/karma-jasmine

Note: Since karma-jasmine 0.3.0 the jasmine library is no longer bundled with karma-jasmine and you have to install it on your own. You can simply do it by:
npm install jasmine-core --save-dev

$ npm install jasmine-core --save-dev
$ npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev

A: The problem is Karma is running globally.
My solution (the easiest and painless at least for me) was to wrap karma start command with npm scripts test command, so that any command is run in a local context.
In package.json, add "test": "karma start" in "scripts": {}.
"scripts": {
    "test": "karma start",
    [...]
},

Now, I don't want to be scaremonger. It would be boring standing about in a field all day. Really, you just need to be sensible in the garden. But it's us kids which are most at danger so I feel it's my duty, as Blogger-in-Chief, to pass on some of the things I learnt and mention a few of the plants which you might have in your garden which could pose a risk.
Rhubarb leaves - now as you know I am quite partial to rhubarb stalks, especially when it's made into yummy Rhubarb & Ginger Chutney by Auntie A. However, make sure you avoid the leaves as they are poy-zin-us!
Daphne - a pretty name and a very pretty plant but eating even a handful of the berries can cause burning of the mouth and can even lead to death!
Digitalis (Foxglove) - the pretty foxgloves is a common sight in gardens and in the wild but eating this plant can cause nausea, diarrhea and even heart problems!
Hydrangea - super popular in gardens, especially with my grandma, but don't confuse the flouncy flowers with candly floss. They will give you a sore tummy, make you dizzy and can even lead to a coma.
Convallaria majalis (Lily-of-the-valley) - these are pretty little flowers but you don't want to eat lots of them or you will get a sore mouth, nausea or cramps.
Narcissus (Daffodil) - you see these everywhere in the Springtime but did you know what the bulbs are a bit poisonous? Don't try eating them or you will get a sore tummy and be sick.
Polygonatum (Solomon's seal) - we have these in our garden and they were munched to bits by the sawfly larvae. Clearly they are hardier than us humans as all parts are poisonous apart from the root and young shoots. The berries are most poisonous. Despite this polygonatum is a medicinal herb!
Taxus (Yew) - one of the most deadly trees in the world. Yikes! Most parts of the tree are poisonous and the leaves remain toxic even after they have wilted. Beware!
Euphorbia (Spurge) - this has a milky sap which you must avoid getting on your skin.
Alstroemeria (Peruvian lily) - again this has a sap which can cause irritation. Don't eat it either as it can be poisonous. Purely for looking at it's prettiness only!
Chrysanthemum - these can be a bit poisonous to eat and also avoid touching the flower heads as they can make you a bit sore and itchy and puff up a bit.
Heracleum mantegazzianum (Giant Hogweed) *this one is super dangerous and MUST be avoided*. It can cause really bad burns to the skin. If you find it in your garden make sure an adult who knows what they are doing removes it quickly and report any you find in public places.
Helleborus (Christmas Rose) - another common garden plant (we have several in our garden) but again, take care, as it can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction.
Tulipa (Tulip) - tulips contain a substance called tulipalin which can cause skin irritation so just be careful if you have them in the garden.
Iris - irises can cause skin irritation if touched. It's usually mild but take care.
So, whilst being out in the garden is my FAVOURITE thing to do and I would always recommend you spend as much time out there as possible, just be careful.
1. We went to Northumberland on holiday which I hugely recommend for you to take your grown-ups to on holiday. There is lots for everyone to do. My favourite beach was Bamburgh beach, it's lovely!
2. I would also class boys as a skin irritant but I don't know the Latin name for a boy yet to list it here!

You CAN Stay: Making It Work
Posted on October 20, 2014 by candidaabrahamson
Judith and Jay* had a checkered relationship, as so many long-term marrieds do. They had weathered raising the children, as well as the empty-nest syndrome. Sometimes she drove him round the bend with her non-stop chatter and tendency to cheer-lead; she not so infrequently considered offing him when he began one of his political tirades, or went into one of his creature-of-habit routines (a diet Coke goes with pasta, a Pepsi is for peanut butter and jelly), or decided–one more time–he needed a new job, quit his current one, and began a seemingly non-stop monologue about how he'd make it big next time.
But it wasn't any particular crisis but rather some long-term disappointments that brought Judith and Jay into my office for couples therapy. She was restless in the relationship, he was feeling unsupported; should they consider a separation?
I thought they had a lot of raw material, and could see a good path for them if they were willing to do the work, but there was one telling incident that tipped the scales for me in my belief about whether they could make it as a couple.
Jay was a coffee-drinker–he pretty much downed the stuff by the gallon. And during the long hours he spent at home between jobs [next time would be the big one, he assured us both], he drank it from the glass mugs with three hot-air balloons on it.
You may ask how I know this detail–but it's more relevant than you might at first suspect.
Judith was a thrift-shop junkie–she could happily pass hours going from one store to the next, and each beautiful item in the couple's home had a place and a history–and an astoundingly good price. She would relate the objects' tales to anyone who would listen–but Jay didn't number himself in her story fan-club.
One day Judith came home with four exquisite off-white ceramic mugs, totally unique in their design. As always she asked if Jay liked them; as always she got a mono-syllabic response.
So, pleased enough with the mugs she now had, she brought in her 11 glass, balloon-enhanced mugs to a far-off thrift shop that was outside her usual limits, but one she knew made better offers [if they were a bit snooty]. She determined it was worth leaving them there, given the price the shop thought they could get. She kept this rather mundane detail to herself, as Jay had trained her to do.
So imagine Jay's surprise–if we can call it that; Jay's a pretty low-emotioned guy–when he went to pour himself a cup of coffee and sit, perusing job possibilities on the computer, sipping from his usual mug–only to find his usual mug missing. If Jay were the Encyclopedia Brown type he might have made a whole tale of the "The Missing Mug," but instead he did the most sensible thing–he shouted for his wife and asked her where his beloved balloon mug was.
Judith was more than happy to explain the saga of the mugs, but Jay cut her off, less interested in narrative than in the bottom line.
"You gave away my mug?" he asked, horrified [for Jay].
"Honey, I got you four new mugs, beautiful ones."
"But," was the retort, "I always drink my coffee from that mug."
"Well now," responded Judith, not unreasonably, "you'll always drink your coffee from a different mug."
But Judith wasn't prepared for Jay's feelings of loss, and Jay kept up a steady stream of complaints:
"I don't just drink coffee in it, you know. I drink water, too. And water tastes better in a glass mug."
"These mugs have a funny aftertaste; they make my coffee taste weird."
"I don't like the grip of these new mugs–they feel like they'll just slip out of my hand."
"I miss those hot-air balloons something fierce."
Had Judith felt that Jay should go back to his job searches and leave the topic of mugs far behind, I certainly couldn't have blamed her. But that isn't what happened.
On a blustery February day, Judith brushed off the car, resisted the urge to shop for a the new lamp they just had to have for the corner of their living room, fought Chicago traffic, and and headed back to the thrift shop where she had left the glass mugs. The saleswoman looked up with a questioning and not the slightest bit welcoming glance. Judith explained that she'd brought in 11 mugs several weeks ago, and now, for some convoluted reasons, she needed a mug back.
The response was glacial. "But that isn't how we do things, here, Judith. You brought in a set, we wrote it up and gave you a receipt–it's done, now; it's not yours anymore." The owners were surprisingly difficult about returning the mug, implying Judith was behaving out of the bounds of thrift-shop-ettiquette. She felt somewhat like a beggar, and wasn't enjoying this experience. Judith must have felt persecuted from all sides by this particularly glass, but she persevered, and finally said,
"Look. My husband is very attached to this mug, and it makes him happy to have it. I really need it back for him, and if you won't sell 10 mugs, then I'll take the whole set back."
Yes, Judith got her mug back, and yes, the thrift-shop finally sold the 10-mugged set and cut Judith a check. [Judith always shared these details–in full.] But, to be honest, I didn't care about that. To me, a mug is a mug.
But to Jay, clearly, a mug is not just a mug–and Judith, to whom a mug is a means to more shopping, proved something about her marriage in her quest for the return of the balloon-glass mug. She proved that she was willing to swallow her pride, look away from a good argument, pass up a chance to pick on Jay's foibles, and head out for an act of reverse-shopping–all just to make her husband happy.
This couple had the raw material to make it work.
**As with all characters in my blog posts, there is no real Judith or Jay, whose names have been changed to protect their privacy. They are teaching characters, composed of bits and pieces from real life humans plus details from my imagination which make the story more interesting and, hopefully, instructive.

Hearts and minds: Combating Disinformation
Citizen Journalism in the Post-Modern World
If you Can't Beat 'em
The (Un)Questioned Moral Authority of the "West"
Philip van Engeldorp Gastelaars is one of the ten 2015 Milton Wolf Emerging Scholar Fellows, an accomplished group of doctoral and advanced MA candidates selected to attend the 2015 Milton Wolf Seminar. Their posts highlight the critical themes and on-going debates raised during the 2015 Seminar discussions.
2014 witnessed numerous triumphs and tragedies regarding the role of the media in global events, which made the topic an especially apt central theme for the 2015 Milton Wolf Seminar. In my view, the rapid increase in disinformation was one of the greatest tragedies, especially the disinformation originating from Russian-based government-controlled media including both international (e.g. Russia Today and Sputnik) and domestic news channels. Those interested in combating the flow of disinformation originating from these media outlets have put forward a succession of proposals within the EU over the last year, yet concrete responses have not yet materialized.
Combating Disinformation
Last March, the European Council requested that Federica Mogherini, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, prepare an action plan on strategic communication to challenge "Russia's ongoing disinformation campaigns." The Council's request has been characterized as an attempt to counter the Russian government's "weaponization of information." One of Mogherini's first steps in office was to create a joint task force charged with monitoring Russian media to identify disinformation.
Earlier in 2015, the Latvian government presented a bolder counter-measure to the Russian disinformation campaigns: the creation of a Russian-language television station. As ethnic Russians form roughly a quarter of the Latvian population, Latvia's government is one of the most hostile towards Russian media, but it is not alone. The media regulator in neighboring Lithuania even went so far as to temporarily ban a Russian-language broadcaster for warmongering and spreading propaganda.
I have been well aware of the spread of disinformation by Russian media outlets since the start of hostilities in Ukraine in 2014. Even before that, I was shocked by reports of an increase in homophobia in news reports within Russia. Especially poignant was a discussion I had with a Russian student studying in Vienna, who, although educated in and a resident of the EU for many years, actively defended the then-recently enacted Russian anti-gay law. In retrospect, that particular discussion was the first time that I was personally confronted by the effectiveness of Russian disinformation.
Ukrainian Encounters
Together with nine fellow students, I partook in a study trip to Ukraine in April 2015, organized by the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna. While there we had the opportunity to meet with a number of Diplomatic Academy alumni now living and working in Kiev. One of those alumni, Ian Bateson, is currently a co-host of the Sunday Show on Hromadske. Hromadske is an internet-based Ukrainian television station that started off as a civil initiative in 2013, one that has proven to be very successful.
Bateson referred to stories that he had heard of Ukrainians receiving telephone calls from concerned friends and relatives in Russia. The Russian relations had heard shocking reports in the Russian media on the situation in Ukraine following "Maidan" in 2014. The "Maidan" is often referred to as a "coup" by the Russian media, and as a "revolution" by Western media. Despite reassurances that the new government was not an oppressive fascist regime, according to Bateson, Russian friends and relatives simply did not believe their relations in Ukraine because these Ukrainian accounts contradicted media reports. This is but an example, and one of hearsay at that, yet it exemplifies the potential effects of the weaponization of information. As Bateson tweeted this April: "Age of information becoming age of disinformation. Matters most whose narrative wins."
During the sleepless nights on the night train from Kiev to Odessa, and later from Odessa to Lviv, I had the chance to talk with a few Ukrainians with whom I shared a compartment. I met Konstantin, a young, ethnically-Russian entrepreneur returning home to Odessa from Israel. According to Konstantin, most Ukrainians and Russians distrust both the government and the media, whether it be Ukrainian or Russian. Despite this fact, Russians are most familiar with Russian media and therefore more inclined to believe Russian news reports.
Two nights later, on the train to Lviv, I had a lengthy discussion with Olga, an ethnically Ukrainian teacher on her way home to celebrate Orthodox Easter with her parents. She reaffirmed the distrust of both the government and the media that Konstantin had mentioned. Perhaps more interesting was her response to my question about why the Russian student that I had a discussion with in Vienna continued to strongly support Russia's anti-gay legislation, despite her otherwise progressive views and EU-based education. According to Olga, many Russians have a completely different understanding of the world, and their place in it, compared to the West. Making a comparison with the Russian language, Olga explained that the Russian psyche has a certain depth, a different way of understanding than most in the West. These discussions have shown me that there is a considerable disconnect between how many in Western Europe and many in Russia and parts of the Ukraine interact with and rely on the media.
Militarization of Information
In an interview with Hromadske, former Russian TV Insider Peter Pomerantsev explained that the weaponization of information is part of the Russian military doctrine of Information Psychological War, a mechanism through which the Russian government seeks to "trash the information space." This is achieved by utilizing various forms of media, both classic and new, including, newspapers, television broadcasts, and social media. Cynicism plays an important role in this doctrine, as, according to Pomerantsev, the Russian government openly admits, "that it is not a proper democracy" whilst simultaneously "shedding doubt on the credibility of other [Western] governments and [their] values systems." This approach clouds and undermines the belief in the "truth" of any media reports.
Russian governmental attempts at undermining the truth certainly occurred in the wake of the downing of MH17. Russian media outlets proposed a wide array of scenarios, ranging from an alleged mix-up with Putin's presidential jet to accusations that Ukrainian fighter jets were responsible. A more recent Russian government version of events accepts the Western belief that the plane was in fact downed by a "BUK" surface to air missile, but holds that the missile was in fact fired from Ukrainian Government-held territory. The resulting effect remains the same: confusion.
The militarization, that is to say the utilization of information as a military ploy, is certainly anything but new. In many ways it reminds me of Dutch government tactics during the post–World War II Indonesian National Revolution. The government charged a professional information bureau with essentially "juggling" information about war operations, mixing fact with fiction, engaging in "opaque language," and altogether ignoring inconvenient information.[i] Today similar tactics, referred to as "perception management" are still employed by state and non-state actors around the world. The Russian military doctrine strikes me as an elaborate version of these long-established tactics.
Distrust is relatively easy to sow, yet hard to combat. The Russian aim is to create confusion, which in turn nourishes distrust. As suggested by participants in the Milton Wolf Seminar, it seems that combating disinformation with "counter-information" would only serve to increase the state of confusion, and thus further Russian aims. Adhering to military terms, the weaponization of information in a way harkens to insurgency warfare. I am currently writing my thesis on Dutch counterinsurgency activities during the Indonesian National Revolution. What I have learned about insurgency and counterinsurgency can be roughly boiled down to the following: insurgency is cheap and relatively easy to create, yet very hard to fight.
French Military Officer and scholar David Galula worded it more precisely: disorder is easily created; yet order is difficult enough to maintain, let alone restore. While instituting order is a task of the counterinsurgent, the insurgent can use order (or the idea of it) as a bargaining tool with the local population.[ii] Order in this sense is akin to truth in the weaponization of information. Russia is the insurgent and the West is the counterinsurgent. It is crucial for the counterinsurgent to win the "hearts and minds" of the population to stand any chance of succeeding, yet how can hearts and minds be won in an information war?
In his interview with Hromadske, Pomerantsev explained the current Russian media landscape with the following analogy: "Imagine if the US only had Fox News." Regarding the candor of Fox News, I always think of a report on the "failure of social tolerance and progressive ideals in Amsterdam" on the O'Reilly Factor, which was soundly debunked by a video response on YouTube that has been viewed over 600,000 times. The YouTube debunk proved to be so popular that the O'Reilly Factor released a response to it soon after, which in turn was debunked yet again. Spreading disinformation is not a domain reserved for the Russian media; both American and European media are anything but hallowed in this respect. However, the plurality that defines US and EU media landscapes is what sets them apart from their Russian counterpart.
According to Russia Today, a recent study demonstrated that a majority of Europeans distrust the "mainstream media's" coverage of the Ukraine Crisis. The polls referred to in the RT article were conducted for the Sputnik News Agency, which is controlled by the Russian government. Admittedly media freedom has also come under increasing threat in various EU Member States, yet in the vast majority of Europe pluralism prevails. Besides, more and more Europeans gather their news from internet-based sources, lessening the reliance on single news sources. Many EU citizens also can, and do, turn to unconventional media[iii] to rebuke what they perceive to be fallacies, as was the case with the example of the O'Reilly Report.
This ties in with a central theme of the 4th session of the Milton Wolf Seminar on "The "Diplomacy of Domestic Media and Information Policy": How can one fight the flow of disinformation when a large section of the Russian population distrusts internet-based content that is critical of the Russian government? According to a study conducted by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center, Russians are far more inclined to believe TV-based than internet-based news. Moreover, TV-based news remains by far the most popular source of news for most Russians. Complicating matters further, Russians are also increasingly likely to distrust foreign media sources.
Further clouding the information space with counter narratives via an EU-based Russian-language news channel certainly will not win the hearts and minds, but rather advance the weaponization of information. Identifying disinformation is crucial, yet that disinformation must not be countered in a fashion similar to which it was first disseminated. I fear that combating disinformation can easily turn out to be akin to fighting counterinsurgency, which is in the words of Lawrence of Arabia: "messy and slow, like eating soup with a knife."[iv]

Begin Again, Let's Be Cops, Cowboy Bebop: Complete details, Merv Griffin Show & more
September 29, 2014 - 3:02 pm	| by	Bill Hunt
[Editor's Note: Be sure to like TheDigitalBits.com page on Facebook for great Blu-ray, DVD and film discussion with other readers and for live updates on your mobile device when new content is posted here!]
It's a new week and we're kicking things off here at The Bits with a new review from our own Tim Salmons… Denis Villeneuve's Enemy, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and released on Blu-ray by Lionsgate. Enjoy! [Read on here…]
In announcement news today, Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company have set Begin Again for Blu-ray and DVD release on 10/28, from John Carney (the director of Once) and starring Keira Knightley, Adam Levine, and Mark Ruffalo. The digital release happens on 10/17. There's no word in the press release about extras, if any.
20th Century Fox has set Let's Be Cops for Blu-ray, DVD and digital release on 11/11. Extras will include audio commentary by Luke Greenfield, audio commentary by Nicholas Thomas, the Brothers in Blue featurette, an image gallery and the trailer. The Blu-ray will exclusively add deleted and alternate scenes, a Camera Test and the Real Funny featurette.
Shout! Factory has set The Soul Man: The Complete Second Season for DVD only release on 10/21.
Lionsgate has set a number of DVD and digital only titles for release in December, including Speak No Evil on 12/2, and In Search of Aliens: Season One, Exodus: The Real Story, and Power Rangers Super Megaforce Volume 1: Earth Fights Back on 12/9.
Cohen Media Group will release Chinese Puzzle on Blu-ray on 10/14.
Also today, FUNimation revealed (at Anime Weekend in Atlanta this past weekend) the list of extras you'll find on their forthcoming Blu-ray release of Cowboy Bebop: The Complete Series (due 12/16). Look for the all-new 68-minute Dinner Aboard the Bebop reunion of the original English dub voice cast, a 95-minute Memo from Bebop: The Dub Sessions Remembered documentary with the English dub voice cast, audio commentary on Sessions 1, 5, 10, 17 and 24 with director Shinichiro Watanabe, composer Yoko Kanno, ADR producer Yutaka Maseba, and members of the original Japanese voice cast (with subtitles, carried over from the previous DVD release), Cowboy Bebop Session #0, an Interview with Wendee Lee (the English voice of Faye Valentine), an Interview with Cartoon Network producer Sean Akins, the original opening and closing songs (with and without text), a pair of Tank! music clips (Full-Size and Club Remix UK versions), Ein's Summer Vacation, and the U.S. trailer. Remember that there's a regular Blu-ray version, plus two exclusive BD/DVD Combo versions (one available from FUNimation's store and one on Amazon) that have special packaging and swag.
And MPI will release The Merv Griffin Show: 1962-1986 on DVD on 11/4 (SRP $129.98). This is a 12-disc set containing 44 classic episodes of the long-lived talk show, plus 7 hours of bonus material.
Finally, here's something fascinating. You think 4K displays are interesting? Well… Samsung, LG and other manufacturers are already gearing up to start sell you 8K displays in the 2015/2016 timeframe. See this report on the Norwegian website Dinside.no (Google Chrome or Google's Translate site will translate the page in English for you). Gotta be honest about all this… I have the strong suspicion that most consumers are going to just stick with 1080p until they see where all this ends up and wait to buy new displays and disc technologies until then. 8K and autostereoscopic? Awesome. That's probably your target goal over the next decade. But until it's here, real, affordable and it looks like it's going to stick around a while (wait… no 16K?), I'm not sure anyone but enthusiasts will move past 1080p. Thoughts? Chime in over on The Bits Facebook page – we'd love to hear them. Thanks to Bits reader Michael G. for the link.
Here's some new cover artwork...
