My charger port on my Android tablet is broken how can I fix it?
so i was charging my tablet because it was dieing but the charging it has been very difficult i put the charger in and hold it down or pull it back to charge it but when i tired charging it today i think i pulled it back little to far and it wont charge. so i tried to adjusting the charge port but it seems to be loose and refuses to charge i used a UBS connection to the laptop but it turns on and says "force to shut down" so i know it still works but i just can't charge it i know its not the charger. so does anyone have any suggestions to charge my tablet without the charger? please i really need help. thank you

My cousin has the same problem his charging port is broken.
What do I do this might be the last time I'm using my tablet!!:'( :'(
asheley, since I do not know what make/model your tablet is, it will be difficult to be specific. Most of the charging ports are micro USB and soldered unto the logic board. A repair of the port would require you to disassemble your tablet, and to (most likely) de-solder the old port and replace it with a new one. Sometimes, it is just the solder that has come loose and might be fixable by just re-soldering. Replacement ports, if it is a standard connector, are usually available at places like Mouser.com or Digikey.com. Hope this helps, good luck.
what in the world that does not help
Thank you oldturkey03 that's exactly what I need to do and I've been looking all over to find the part so I can solder a new one in. Know one seems to know what I'm talking about, but you hit the nail on the head. My son while trying to charge his tablet broke the little pins on the port that connect to the logic board because the connection was never tight and he had to wiggle it constantly to get it to charge. I wish these connections would have to click into place they're just to flimzy
I have the very same problem and dont know what to do. As I dont want to be without my samsung tab 3 If it has to go back to the shop. But I may not have anyother option.
Uhh..get a safety pin or any type of sharp pin. The charger port that's broken, stick the pin in and slide around the outsides, and see if any dirt comes out. If any does, then thats the problem, and if any doesn't, then YA CAN'T FIX IT. If you wanted to fix it, you would have to pay alot, so its no point if with that money you can just buy A NEW ONE! Hope I helped, good luck.
hanna robinss, this is a micro USB not a barrel connector. I am not sure where you learned that trick. Quite a diagnostician..
OH, wow, what is a diagnostician, if I may ask?
a specialist or expert in making diagnoses
Oh, wow, just mind your own bussiness, and let me say what I WANNA say.
I wish I could but not when the information is erroneous and misleading.
get the shaking app to charge it
You can buy the micro usb charge port from ebay for about $6 and I have replaced and repaired about 27 tablets so far with a 100% working repair on all. I charge $45 and u pay shipping. Text me @ 2562027874
Push try charger down

More likely, Geek Squad wouldn't even know how to solder a pin, yet alone surface-mount devices. ;)

Because it did work and dient wat i did is i got a sowing pin and fixed the socket things and walla it worked thatnks So much Your sincerly x Amelia winifred
If you have an old charger you can cut the end off and attach it directly to the battery. Worked for me once.
That's a great way to start a fire.
Although it won't make any great explosions, Austin is right - there is a chance of a fire, but the most likely thing is you'll blow either the charger or the insides of your tablet. Tablets all have the same battery voltage - 3.7v, and that battery can only be charged safely by the tablets circuit board trickle charging through to the battery. While it's possible to hook the wires off a 5 volt power supply directly to the wires on the battery, it won't be charging it, it'l be pushing that 5 volts into it in a way thats very risky - the battery can swell up (easily enough to crack the delicate LCD panel inside), it can swell and go >pop<, it can gain too much charge and get so hot it can melt, or go on fire from a mix of the heat and more power coming in. You can power a tablet by directly wiring a suitable voltage/amp power supply, but that should only be done to the same charging port connections that the original charger plugged in to - never directly to the battery Red & Black wires.
If you can push the charger one way and it charges, just put a very small piece of electrical tape to secure it. Glue might work but if something goes wrong or you want to replace it you won't be able to take it off
Well I'm having a major problem my son pushed the charger in to far and broke the silver it's that connects the charger now it won't charge can it be fixed
im having the same prob but i can charde mine in very strange places that i have to hold it in pleas help me :'(
I am having a similar but different problem my micro usb on my tablet has fallen inside of the tablet and I cant pull it back into place
My tablet wont charge or turn on... I don't know what to do! its a hisense and Ive tried calling the hisense company but they aren't much help! I threw away the box or I misplaced it! HELP!
If it's the sero 7 pro, I'm having the exact same problem.
There's a lot of odd messages and some odd answers here too lol.
Although this is an old question, the answer is as relevant today as it was back then so here goes.....
Tablets come in all sorts of charging variations, they vary in the type of connection used, and the voltage they take. The actual socket to charge may be mini-USB, micro-USB, or a standard socket/pin type. The easiest to break are the socket/pin types. No matter what make of tablet those pins are rubbish - too small to be strong, and they are expected to be knocked all over the place while the tablets in use and charging. The USB types tend to be stronger, but again the micro-USB (as used on most mobile phones) as are again not very strong.
If your tablet charges off a socket/pin type, it can be 5volt up to 12volt to charge it, and if its charged using either of the USB types then it's a 5volt charge. But that's not connected with the initial question, so . . .
Some tablets (if you're very very lucky) will have both a socket/pin and a USB charging port - you'l only know this by testing it. Plug in a USB cable (most mobile chargers will do for this purpose - but they will charge v e r y slowly lol), and if it charges up then that's ok :-) If it doesn't then you most likely need to fit a new socket/pin inside it :-( Some tablets (its rare though) like the Acer Arconia A500, have the socket on a wire so it's really easy to solder in a new one :-)
Every design of tablet has its own way of being held together unfortunately, so it's not possible to explain each and every model, but it's worth mentioning that a well known video site has videos of most specific tablets, and also keep in mind to be very very carefull on taking them apart as the screens (both the touch panel and the actual digital display) are very very fragile and can crack with very little effort :-(
A simple way to test if your socket is broken is to turn off the tablet, and take a tiny stic (toothpicks are ideal for this) and VERY gently see if you can move the charging socket - this applies to both socket/pin or USB types. If it wobbles about, it's probably broken inside.
i have a tablet ,its charging slot is lossened n its not charging when i put the charger in the clot it jusa is too loose to fit it n it doesnt chharge please someone help me on tis?
please guys any advice on this
The port may be physically snapped, or it may just have broken solder inside. The only real way to know is to take it apart and check it with a magnifier.
The plastic used on tablet charging ports is usually quite brittle and snaps easily after a short time (it's best to either make sure your charger cable is secured so no extra strain is ever placed on the port iteslf), to be completely safe, always charge the tablet before use - but that's quite inconvenient :-) Not as inconvenient as having it break and be completely useless though.
If you cant take it apart, or just unsure how to, do an Internet search for that model of tablet by typing something such as "ICONIA A500 COMPLETE TEAR DOWN". That usually gets you what you'l need.
If the socket is broken/unrepair
I think I know how to fix it just buy a charger at Walmart they cost 40 dollars
He's already said the charging port is loose, and he's tried the cable throigh the laptop. It's the port, not the cable/plug.
Well mine is different it has 3 chargers and it broken how can we fix it?????
Well we don't want a new one
same here
To those who cannot get a response from Monster Tablet for your problems, I have found a way to bypass their runarounds,
Their Corporate Phone Number is 415-840-2000
let it go thru the options till the last, then press the last number mentioned and it will take you to the receptionist of AMD and she will then help.
Also their corporate address is 455 Vally Dr, Brisbane, Ca 94005
try reaching them by other means will not work.
PLEASE TEXT ME ON MY CELL # 6783329559 and I will explain to you what my android tablet is doing PLEASE

in the instructions for the d2 tablet , it says DO NOT DIASEMBLE THE TABLET so the video from whoever put up that video is pretty much a waste of time.
Who's instructions are those. "DO NOT DIASEMBLE THE TABLET" means that they will sell you a new one for more money ;-). Definitely open it and fix things....
Haha. Pretty much everything says "do not disassemble"
Roughly how much will this cost to repair at the store.? Any ideas please.

There is a story that I have to tell you first that is the truth and nothing but the truth — it is about us. It is about who we really are — not who we think we are or what someone else tells us about who we are, but truly who we really are. I would like to take this time to tell you. Do you have a moment for me?
First, I would like to say it is an honor to meet you — for you and I are one and the same. There's no getting around it. I wish to send all the love I have in the essence of My Being out to you, and in return I feel the love that you are sending to me.
I'm sending my energy (thoughts) to you to assist you in where you are going. I have to tell you — you are very powerful Beings, just as I am. The only difference is that I now go about this life operating predominantly with pure consciousness, pure awareness, and pure energy, allowing only the things I truly desire into by Being. This is why I'm able to bring this dialogue to you — it is my desire manifested.
My journey is like your journey, Your journey, like mine, involves looking for a better tomorrow. For today what we see, feel and experience is a "chaotic now." We probably have read many books on how to come out of this "chaotic now" giving us some understanding, but we still are not getting the full understanding.
We constantly see ourselves drowning in our lives of yesterdays, months and years, yearning to simply be at a better place than where we are now. We search high and low for someone or something to fulfill the void that occupies our existence. We yearn desperately to be loved!

Anyone know where to find..
any large sized plastic spheres or large styro balls?
I see many use that type of material for gazing balls and for mosaics..
They would be so much lighter in weight for me to move around as we go from place to place..
I've seen some pretty big styrofoam balls at Hobby Lobby and Michaels...they may not be quite as big as a bowling ball, but they are at least 10 inch diameter.
Those large balls "lose" air eventually (around here, anyway)...unless you could leave the spot open where you inflate air. I think I would try like a recycling center...sometimes big pcs of hard foam come w/tv screens, washer/dryers, fridges, etc. Can't think of a ball tho.???ummmmm...will think on this some more. Enjoy your travels! Jeanne S.
I will have to check out Michaels and Hobby Lobby.
Was curious as bowling balls add so much weight to our load that sometimes I get that look..
You know the one..
And they really make some nasty noises banging together when in motion..
On the hypertufa forum they tell how to make hollow hypertufa balls using a beach ball as a mold. I always wanted to try it but not sure if I'll ever get to it.
I've posted a link to one description. If you do a search on that forum there are more.
Here is a link that might be useful: Making a hollow sphere
Would light globes work? I occ. see these in the thrift stores. 10" light globe
You can sometimes get larger plastic Christmas ornament balls.They aren't as big as a bowling ball, but they are pretty big.
The larger xmas ornament balls are what i used.First i left them in the garden just as they were when i bought them.Then after they faded is when i added all those 1/2 marbles and they turned out well.That's been at least 6 years or so ago,and they still look good.
Kathi,who's spending this sunday looking through old post~~~~~~~~~What fun it is.
I was thinking of the really large hard plastic Christmas ball ornaments too. I bought a couple on clearance a couple of years ago that are just as big as bowling balls at Menards, but haven't put the half marbles on them in fear they wouldn't hold up with the weight in the heat of summer, but now I WILL be doing that with them.
Glad someone brought this back to the first page of posts!
Can I use GE II as glue for glass globs onto large Christmas ornament? I would like to do mosaic, but if I use ceramic pieces I figured I'd use adhesive/grout, is that right? Everyone is very inspiring and helpful-Thanks,Kim :) I still need to post my pics once I learn how!
Patty.. I have not thought about or been to Unclaimed Freight in years.. thanks for reminding me..
I will have to be on the lookout for the big ornaments at christmas this year also.
I did get one small gazing ball done for my daughter. Will take pics today and post.
Thanks for bringing the post back to the top.. my old memory forgot I had posted this!!
chevy57red you might want to try a pet store for the ball.
google this "The Almost Indestructible Dog Ball" i think they come in 2 sizes 12" and 8" for around $10.00.
my friend had one for his dog, there hard as a rock and light..
and yes its Almost Indestructible!!!!
As long as this has popped up again, I will mention that junk globes of the earth that you find at yard sales are often plastic balls under the maps. I peeled the map off one thinking I'd mosaic it but was advised againse it on the SG&M forum. both the weight of the grout and the possibility of the plastic expanding and contrating with the weather were concerns. I might try it any way just to see what happens.

Who's the Americas' best team? U.S., Argentina to clash once again
LAS VEGAS -- The United States and Argentina are already at odds over one thing: LeBron James says they are rivals; Carlos Delfino disagrees.
"Our biggest rival is the team we are going to face on Saturday," Delfino said Wednesday night after Argentina kept its record perfect in the Tournament of the Americas by rallying to defeat Brazil 86-79 in overtime.
That unbeaten record will be put to the test Thursday against the United States, which also stayed unblemished Wednesday night with a 118-79 victory over Uruguay.
"I don't know what's going to happen, but I know we're going to fight -- that's what really matters," Argentina's Luis Scola said. "When you play hard, fight and compete, you can afford to lose. If you don't compete, even when you win, you have to be unhappy."
This will be the first meeting between the teams since the bronze-medal game at the World Championship in Japan last summer, a game the Americans won handily by playing with a much higher level of determination and composure. Argentina defeated the United States in the semifinals of the 2004 Olympics in Athens and at the 2002 World Championship in Indianapolis when it became the first team to defeat a U.S. team comprised of NBA players.
"The caliber of the team you play against brings out more from you, and Argentina, we ultimately respect what they've done, and the team they have here," U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski said.
The Americans defeated Argentina twice at the 2003 Tournament of the Americas, once in the second round -- an eight-point victory in a competitive game -- and again in the championship game when they routed Argentina by 33 points.
"It's definitely become a rivalry between us," said James who shot 11-for-11 (upping his field goal percentage for the tournament to an astounding 79.7) and scored 26 points before sitting out the entire second half against Uruguay. "If we continue to do what we've been doing for the last two to two-and-a-half weeks, we'll be fine."
Most of Argentina's best players -- including Manu Ginobili, Andres Nocioni, Pepe Sanchez, Walter Herrmann and Ruben Wolkowyski -- are skipping this tournament, leaving Scola and Delfino as the team's lone holdovers from 2002 and 2004. But Argentina has been getting steady play from new starting point guard Pablo Prigioni (53 assists and 17 turnovers for the tourney), who Krzyzewski praised as a quintessential international playmaker, and sixth man Paolo Quinteros (13.6 ppg, 52 percent on field goals). Scola is averaging a team-high 17.9 points while shooting 54 percent, and Delfino is contributing 15.7 points per game.
"They just have great chemistry," Krzyzewski said. "Even though they have some younger guys, they're still in the same system. They have continuity with the coaching staff, system, player development."
The infusion of new players "puts a couple guys in starring roles, and I think it's elevated their games -- Scola and Delfino," Krzyzewski said.
Scola had 23 points and 12 rebounds and Delfino had 17 points and 10 boards in Wednesday's victory over Brazil in which the Argentines came back from a 17-point deficit.
The game carried little meaning for Argentina in the overall scheme of the tournament, since they had already clinched a finish of no worse than third, which assured them of not having to face the United States in the semifinals. But despite the game carrying little weight, Argentina didn't rest its big guns.
Scola said they will take the same approach into Thursday night's game against the United States, which he considers the class of the field.
"The team we played in Japan was a pretty good team, but I think in this kind of tournament, the style of the game is better for Team America because everyone tries to play their way -- fast, one-on-one, running up and down, scoring many points each game -- and that's good for the U.S. team because they like to play that way," Scola said. "They have so much talent and so much athleticism. When we play in Europe, the Olympics or the World Championship, it's a little bit different because European teams play calm 60- or 70-point games, and I think they feel a little bit more uncomfortable with that game.
"So I think this team, for this championship, is completely perfect. You could not make a better team -- maybe if you had Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal -- but everybody else, those are the best. It's the best team you can get."
The Americans are expected to have Carmelo Anthony back in the lineup after he sat out Wednesday's game with a sore heel. They'll also have Kobe Bryant, who stayed in the locker room to rest during the entire second half of the victory over Uruguay.
Bryant, by the way, said he "hadn't really had a chance to speak to" Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak, who was in attendance Wednesday night.

0 votedvotevote
The Italian Post has issued a stamp commemorating the 150th birthday of Joseph Petrosino, famous American policeman of Italian origin.
Giuseppe "Joe" Petrosino (August 30, 1860 – March 12, 1909) was a New York City police officer who was a pioneer in the fight against organized crime. The various crime fighting techniques that Petrosino pioneered during his law enforcement career are still practiced by various agencies in the fight against crime.

Recap: 'True Blood' Premiere - 'Jesus Gonna Be Here'
Welcome to the seventh and final season of "True Blood"! When a great, long-running show comes to the end of its run, it feels like the end of an era, and this is a great show. Or at least it was. It peaked around the time Russell Edgington pulled the news anchor's spine out on live TV, then sat down to address the camera. and proceeded to show Howard Beale how it's done. And the last couple of seasons were real off-road torture tests, raising troubling questions about the motives and abilities of almost everyone involved, starting with Rutger Hauer's agent.
Ultimately, the big question faithful viewers were left asking was, as Richard Pryor once so eloquently put it, "How long will this bullsh*** go on?" Now we know: whether the show rallies and pulls out of its tailspin or continues to spiral toward the Earth like a piece of flaming space flotsam, it will go on for another six weeks. And then that's it—none of that "first half of season seven, to be continued next year" nonsense that's so popular with your high-profile cable shows nowadays. So much of life, like so much of late "True Blood," is about being grateful for small favors.

The only problem is writing, meaning I can't create new files or change existing files inside the guest (works fine on the host). All I get is "permission denied", but nei (Hardware)

hey same for me i never level up and im just trying to and i think im level 30 !
and i cant level up!
how come that certain monsters don't give you EXP and some give you very little EXP because i can't level up any more now that i am Level 36 or 37
His bell is tolling for you
He wants you to come home
hey same for me i never level up and im just trying to and i think im level 30 !
and i cant level up!
The world isn't ready for the truth...
Grumble Grumble Grumble
It means you need to stop picking on the Riff-Raff and start going after the tougher monsters...
FAVOURITE THREADS EXPLAIN why, or risk an infraction.Rantings of a Grouchy Old Anime Otaku
Yes you cant just fight the same level of monsters as you alwasy have and expect to get the same level of experience try to kill something the same level as you .
One thing I've learned from leveling up in my games is that if you're not leveling anymore, you have to go elsewhere. Scour the outer reaches of your territory, explore the new areas you ignored before and chase the monsters that always scared you. If you get killed reboot it, buff yourself up with spells and go after it again. You can't be complacent! I've never leveled as fast as when I went after things that were technically beyond what I should've been fighting, such as over ten levels higher than me. It's scary, risky and you have to think fast on your feet, but you level really fast and they drop better stuff too. And who doesn't like that?
Tears are the feelings that a heart can no longer hold.
Tower of Death is a good place to go when you reach level 30.

Quick update, there was a little bit of snow today!! I was in English Class and my friend suddenly said "Hannah! Look! It's snowing!" (In French). It was raining and snowing too, it was so pretty because it was gentle and in flurries.

UMaine Extension Videos Cited in Caledonian-Record Article on Fruit Pruning Season
Videos created by the University of Maine Cooperative Extension were mentioned in a Caledonian-Record article about pruning fruit trees.

The article stated UMaine Extension "has a couple of great videos for pruning blueberries and apples," and included a link to the videos.

Merritt David Janes: Broadway Performer
University of Maine alumnus and Broadway performer Merritt David Janes "DJ" will return to his alma mater in January as a guest artist in the School of Performing Arts benefit concert, "150 Years of American Song: A Celebration of the University of Maine."
In recognition of UMaine's 150th anniversary, more than 75 students in the School of Performing Arts will present selections from the Great American Songbook in a concert that aims to raise awareness of the school and funds for outreach programs. The student-run production takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23 in the Collins Center for the Arts.
While on campus, Janes will teach a free master class on musical theater that is open to the public. University and area high school students will perform for and be coached by Janes at 3 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 22 in Minsky Recital Hall.
Janes is currently on a national Broadway tour of "The Phantom of the Opera." He is a Colchester, Vermont native who graduated from UMaine in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in music education with concentrations in voice and trumpet.
What will your role be in the School of Performing Arts benefit concert?
I am honored to be the guest artist and cannot wait for this event. I will be singing six songs with the very talented jazz musicians in the UMaine big band. When I was a student, I never would have guessed I would be so excited to go to Maine in January.
Describe the master class you will be teaching:
I am really looking forward to this. My job as an actor allows me to stay in touch with my love of teaching with master classes like this one. I will be working with students on music they are in the process of preparing. The focus of our time will be on combining the technical aspects of musical performance with the artistic; bringing yourself to the material by relating artistically and technically with the intention and circumstance of the material.
Why UMaine?
I attended the Maine Summer Youth Music Program from seventh grade through my senior year in high school and was inspired to enroll in UMaine's music school by the excellent teachers I worked with there.
Why did you decide to come back and support your alma mater in this way?
The School of Performing Arts and the Maine Center for the Arts — now the Collins Center for the Arts — are very special places for me. I have had so many great memories on the MCA stage in so many different flavors of performance with the UMaine Symphonic Band, UMaine Singers, Bangor Symphony Orchestra, Maine Steiners, and then coming back with the Broadway tour of "Sweeney Todd."
I have always jumped at every opportunity to perform there since I was in middle school, so when they asked me to come up this time, it was a no-brainer.
Describe your career path since graduation:
In my final year at UMaine, I had the privilege of student teaching at Windham High School with Richard Nickerson and the world-famous Windham Chamber Singers. After graduation, I was faced with the difficult decision to choose to begin my teaching career or pursue a career in performing. Call it fate or a total lack of practicality, but I decided to roll the dice and give performing a shot.
I then attended The Circle in the Square Theatre School (in New York City) for two years. In the last two months of my time there, in an effort to "practice auditioning," I booked my first professional role as Robbie Hart in "The Wedding Singer" Broadway tour.
As luck would have it, I've been touring ever since for the last seven years in five other Broadway tours: "Sweeney Todd," "Beauty and the Beast," "Shrek," "Catch Me if You Can," and "The Phantom of the Opera."
Describe your current job on the National Broadway Tour of "Phantom of the Opera":
I think it's safe to say the 25th anniversary Broadway tour of "The Phantom of the Opera" is the most prestigious production I've been a part of. For the first time in my career I am in an understudy position. I perform nightly as a featured ensemble member and it is my pleasure to understudy the wickedly talented, Helen Hayes Award nominee Edward Staudenmayer in the role of Andre. It has been quite the adventurous ride and I can't believe that it has already been a year.
What difference has UMaine made in your life and in helping you reach your goals?
UMaine has made all the difference in the world. Receiving a great experience at an excellent music school is an invaluable and very unique tool that gives any performer on today's stage the gift of versatility and consistency. I would not have had the ability or stamina to perform any of my previous roles without the experiences I was given at UMaine.
How does UMaine continue to influence your life?
My experience at UMaine continues to help me in many ways. My time there really taught me how to think outside the box and allowed me to sharpen my ability to anticipate, create and seize new and exciting opportunities.
When you were at UMaine, what was your favorite place on campus?
I was very fortunate to have regular access to Minsky Recital Hall which became my favorite place to rehearse and even served as a calming escape from time to time.
What's your most memorable UMaine moment?
My time on the European concert tours with the Singers, Steiners and Oratorio Society were filled with irreplaceable memories of singing all over Europe in some of the most beautiful cathedrals in the world. Particularly on my last European tour with the Singers and the Steiners where I had the opportunity to conduct a combination of both the Steiners and Renaissance a cappella groups.
Tickets for "150 Years of American Song: A Celebration of the University of Maine" are $25, $12 for students with a valid MaineCard. Tickets are available at the Collins Center box office, by calling 581.1755 or online. For more information about the performance or to request a disability accommodation, call 581.1755.

Cultural Connections
The University of Maine Humanities Center will host the third annual Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day at various locations Jan. 24 with a kickoff event Jan. 23.
Free events for participants of all ages will be offered at venues including the University of Maine Museum of Art (UMMA), Bangor Public Library and Maine Discovery Museum. This year's Humanities Day is co–hosted by the Maine Folklife Center and UMMA.
The Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day began in 2013 to create a better forum for connecting UMaine faculty, staff and students with the general public in the region, according to UMHC director and UMaine history professor Liam Riordan.
Local partners of the day are the Bangor Public Library and Maine Discovery Museum.
Free bus service will be available from the UMaine campus to Bangor and is supported by the UMaine Office of Student Life.
The events kick off 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23 with a humanities-themed PechaKucha presentation at Coe Space, 48 Columbia Street in Bangor. Speakers will include UMaine faculty and local cultural leaders. Refreshments will be provided and a $6 donation is suggested.
Events on Saturday, Jan. 24 are:
- 11 a.m.–11:45 a.m. at Maine Discovery Museum — Bangor Children's Choir performance
- Noon–12:45 p.m. at Bangor Public Library — Brown bag luncheon discussion of the "Future of the Book" with Michael Alpert of UMaine Press, Deb Rollins of Fogler Library, Joshua Bodwell of Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance, and Barbara McDade of the Bangor Public Library
- 1–2:45 p.m. at University of Maine Museum of Art — Exhibit tour led by George Kinghorn, UMMA's director and curator, at 1 p.m. and artist lecture by Brenton Hamilton at 2 p.m.
- 3–3:45 p.m. at Bangor Public Library — "Philosophy Tea" and group discussion of Edith Cobb's "The Ecology of Imagination in Childhood" with Kirsten Jacobson, an associate professor of philosophy at UMaine, and members of the club, Philosophy Across the Ages
- 4–4:45 p.m. at Bangor Public Library — "An Oral Historian's Work" lecture and discussion by David Weiss, founder of Northeast Historic Film
The UMHC has partnered with the Bangor Daily News on "My Maine Culture," a project to celebrate Maine's sense of place. In December, members of the public were invited to submit a digital postcard — an image or video with accompanying text — that captures participants' Maine culture or what they love about the state.
The BDN will publish highlights from the digital postcard collection before the Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day to contribute to the day's events, and BDN editor Erin Rhoda will share examples during the PechaKucha event Jan. 23. The Maine Folklife Center also may choose to preserve the digital postcards in its archives.
The Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day is one of several UMHC events planned for 2015. The UMaine Humanities Center, housed in UMaine's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences since 2010, advances the teaching, research and public engagement of the arts and humanities to create richer collaboration among Maine residents. More about UMHC is online.
For more information about the Downtown Bangor Public Humanities Day or to request a disability accommodation, contact Pauleena MacDougall, director of the Maine Folklife Center, at 581.1848 or email@example.com, or visit the Facebook event page.

Dill Speaks with Sun Journal About Common Winter Pests
James Dill, a pest management specialist with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, spoke with the Sun Journal for an article about insects that are common in Maine during the winter. Dill spoke about several pests and how to cope with them, including snow fleas, western conifer seed bugs, northern house mosquitoes, winter moths and spiders and Asian lady beetles. "It used to be when I first started, people would say, 'Oh, boy, it must be boring during the winter being an entomologist,'" Dill said. "With the things that have come in, and looking at pests and you name it, there's truly not a slow time of year anymore."
Milardo's Research on Aunts, Uncles Cited in News-Press Parenting Column
Research by Robert Milardo, a professor of family relations at the University of Maine, was cited in a News-Press parenting column about the important role aunts and uncles play in children's lives. Milardo's writings show aunts and uncles help parents care for their children, give parents breaks and lend advice to both children and adults, according to the article. "Not all nieces and nephews are close with uncles and aunts, but for some, their relationships are truly extraordinary — they fuse elements of parent-like obligations with friendship," Milardo said. "When adult siblings have reasonably close relationships, without question everyone can benefit."
UMaine Investigating Source of Unauthorized Tweet, Media Report
The Bangor Daily News and WABI (Channel 5) reported the University of Maine is investigating an offensive and unauthorized tweet that was posted using an official university Twitter account. The tweet has been deleted and security on the account has been updated. "There is no evidence that any of the systems at the University of Maine were compromised," according to John Forker, chief information security officer for the University of Maine System. Sun Journal carried the BDN report.
Yarborough Speaks with Media About State's Large Blueberry Crop
David Yarborough, a blueberry specialist with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, spoke with news organizations, including The Ellsworth American and WLBZ (Channel 2), about the 2014 blueberry harvest. Yarborough said although the federal figures for the harvest won't come out until the end of the month, the crop will exceed 100 million pounds, making it the second largest blueberry harvest in Maine's history, according to the article. The largest wild blueberry crop was 110.6 million pounds in 2000, the article states. The Associated Press also reported on Yarborough's figures. The Boston Globe, Maine Public Broadcasting Network, Portland Press Herald and Daily Reporter carried the AP report. Mainebiz cited the Ellsworth American article.
