UConn announced a two-year contract extension for head football coach Jim Mora on Saturday, just before the team took the field for the Fenway Bowl against North Carolina. Mora’s contract extension will run through 2028 and will pay him $10 million through the remaining four years, with the opportunity to earn more in incentives. The 63-year-old coach is set to make $1.7 million next season, $1.9 million in 2026 and $2.3 and $2.4 million in 2027 and 2028, respectively. UConn then went out and thrashed North Carolina, 27-14, in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. “I am forever grateful. I’m grateful to (athletic director) David (Benedict) and (school president) Radenka (Maric) and the Board of Trustees, but this is about what the (UConn players) did today,” Mora said when asked about the extension in the postgame press conference.

When I first got here, I talked about where we wanted this program to go and we have shown great progress but we still have plenty of work to do. The commitment and dedication from the university and the athletic department has me excited about the future for our football team.” “Three years ago, I tasked Jim Mora with the challenge of leading our football team back to success and through his experience, energy and leadership he has done just that,” UConn athletic director David Benedict said in a statement. “He has taken our program to post season bowl games twice and just guided our team to one of the best seasons in UConn football history, building a momentum to keep this program moving forward. I look forward to his leadership of our football team in the years ahead.” Mora is coming off one of the most successful seasons in UConn football history, having led the team to an 8-4 record and an appearance in the Fenway Bowl. It’s the Huskies’ second bowl appearance in three years. UConn’s eight wins is the most for the program since 2010, and the Huskies had their first winning season since that year, too. A win Saturday would give UConn nine wins for just the third time in program history, with the last two such seasons coming in 2003 and 2007. Robbins heading to Tulsa UConn quarterbacks coach Brad Robbins is heading to Tulsa as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, according to a report from CBS Sports. Robbins was part of a coaching staff that helped the offense produce its most prolific attack since the 2009 season and fifth-most in program history (32.3 points per game). Robbins worked at FCS Tennessee Tech and Division II North Greenville before joining Jim Mora’s staff in spring 2023.

When we entertain, we both like to make things as informal as possible. When you have people around to your home, it’s about having fun, relaxing, and enjoying each other. You don’t want to create an interior that’s stark, stiff and pretentious. 1. Bring in a variety of seating One of the first things to consider with the room’s layout is seating ideas . At Martin Hulbert Design , if we’re planning a hotel or a restaurant, we take inspiration from how a big country house drawing room might be laid out. Different types of furniture, from sofas and formal chairs to stools of different heights, help break the space into different zones and allow people to move around freely. A small table in a corner can be a good place for people to perch. We often have stools that live underneath the coffee table, which prevents the room from looking like a sea of chairs. Martin Hulbert has been part of the interior design world for over 25 years, working on a wide variety of award-winning residential and hotel projects around the world. Jay Grierson joined his team in 2005 and together they created Martin Hulbert Design in 2010. 2. Consider how the room will sound Sound is an important thing to consider when you’re designing a room that will be filled with people. Having enough soft furnishings is essential to prevent that tinny sound, which guests might not consciously notice, but it will leave them feeling strange. Fabric walling in dining rooms is incredibly luxurious, but if you can’t do that, consider using huge banners of fabric to help absorb more of the sound and give a warmer feel to the room. Also great for dampening sound and making the atmosphere softer, are curtains , particularly in a beautifully made linen, which falls perfectly. 3. Keep the lighting soft and dim Lighting is also key to creating the right atmosphere. Never have overhead lights on; instead, aim for a slightly underlit room. Lamps at different heights give you all the light you need, and lampshades in warm colors create a cozy feeling. Sometimes I even spray paint the insides of them gold, to give a softer glow. 4. Be flexible You need to be flexible with your space. People tend not to end up where you expect them to. It can be nice to move your guests around the house. For Christmas dinner, it’s nice to start with canapés in an informal room – not the dining room – allowing the host to pop back to the kitchen to finish the rest of the food, then move your guests into the dining room to serve dinner. Keeping things informal makes everyone feel more relaxed. 5. Think about how to encourage conversation We host an occasional supper club together and we’ve found that small sharing plates is the perfect way to encourage sociability. We rarely would use matching plates; it is better to think about how a dish would look on a plate. We both like collecting pottery so it’s nice to be able to use your found items. If your dining table isn’t large enough to accommodate all the guests, you can buy a large board and put it over the table, then throw over a cloth. A square table can be nice instead of a long rectangular one, because everyone is facing each other and there is no head, plus it creates more space in the middle for flowers and food. A large and beautiful tablecloth is essential when hosting friends for lunch or dinner. This cloth has the perfect amount of pattern and color to add some interest to your setup but you could definitely layer with other prints and colors. Accent chairs are useful for creating additional seating zones around a side table or a fireplace. Plus, this one swivels so you can be even more flexible with where you place it as guests can angle it as they like. Stools placed here and there will stop your hosting room from becoming overwhelmed by chairs. Slide them under coffee tables and side tables and pull them out when in need, or position them around the sides of the room for guests to create their own quieter zones.

Gaya: In a bid to stop migration of people from the state, the Union micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) department is going to start construction work for a technology centre at Gaya. The main centre will be established at Gaya, while extension centres have also been approved at Nalanda, Rohtas, Purnia and Darbhanga and Saran. Union MSME minister Jitan Ram Manjhi announced on Saturday that the main technology centre will be immediately shifted to Gaya from West Bengal, due to non-availability of land there. Union MSME additional development commissioner RK Rai has sent a letter to Bihar chief secretary and the MSME joint director, requesting the state govt to provide about 20 acres land in Gaya. HAM-S national spokesperson Nandlal Manjhi in a press release issued on Saturday said the Union minister has approved Rs 125 crore for the centre at Gaya. These centres will provide opportunities to acquire technical skills to the youths for self-employment. More than 1,000 youths will be getting employment at Gaya, directly or indirectly through the centre. "The Union minister has announced that an investment of around Rs 1 lakh crores will be made in Gaya, which will boost development in the district and generate employment for the youth," Nandlal said.

When you think of electric fields, you likely think of electricity — the stuff that makes modern life possible by powering everything from household appliances to cellphones. Researchers have been studying the principles of electricity since the 1600s . Benjamin Franklin , famous for his kite experiment, demonstrated that lightning was indeed electrical. Electricity has also enabled major advances in biology. A technique called electrophoresis allows scientists to analyze the molecules of life — DNA and proteins — by separating them by their electrical charge. Electrophoresis is not only commonly taught in high school biology, but it’s also a workhorse of many clinical and research laboratories, including mine . I am a biomedical engineering professor who works with miniaturized electrophoretic systems. Together, my students and I develop portable versions of these devices that rapidly detect pathogens and help researchers fight against them. What is Electrophoresis? Researchers discovered electrophoresis in the 19th century by applying an electric voltage to clay particles and observing how they migrated through a layer of sand. After further advances during the 20th century, electrophoresis became standard in laboratories. To understand how electrophoresis works, we first need to explain electric fields . These are invisible forces that electrically charged particles, such as protons and electrons, exert on each other. A particle with a positive electrical charge, for example, would be attracted toward a particle with a negative charge. The law of “opposites attract” applies here. Molecules can also have a charge; whether it’s more positive or negative depends on the types of atoms that make it up. In electrophoresis, an electric field is generated between two electrodes connected to a power supply. One electrode has a positive charge, and the other has a negative charge. They are positioned on opposite sides of a container filled with water and a little bit of salt, which can conduct electricity. When charged molecules such as DNA and proteins are present in the water, the electrodes create a force field between them that pushes the charged particles toward the oppositely charged electrode. This process is called electrophoretic migration . Researchers like electrophoresis because it is fast and flexible. Electrophoresis can help analyze distinct types of particles, from molecules to microbes. Further, electrophoresis can be carried out with materials such as paper, gels, and thin tubes. In 1972, physicist Stanislav Dukhin and his colleagues observed another type of electrophoretic migration called nonlinear electrophoresis that could separate particles not only by their electrical charge but also by their size and shape. Electric fields and pathogens Further advancements in electrophoresis have made it a useful tool to fight pathogens. In particular, the microfluidics revolution made possible the tiny laboratories that allow researchers to rapidly detect pathogens. In 1999, researchers found that these tiny electrophoresis systems could also separate intact pathogens by differences in their electrical charge. They placed a mixture of several types of bacteria in a very thin glass capillary that was then exposed to an electric field. Some bacteria exited the device faster than others due to their distinct electrical charges, making it possible to separate the microbes by type. Measuring their migration speeds allowed scientists to identify each species of bacteria present in the sample through a process that took less than 20 minutes. Microfluidics improved this process even further. Microfluidic devices are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Their miniature size allows them to perform analyses much faster than conventional laboratory equipment because particles don’t need to travel that far through the device to be analyzed. This means the molecules or pathogens researchers are looking for are more easily detected and less likely to be lost during analysis. For example, samples analyzed using conventional electrophoresis systems would need to travel through capillary tubes that are about 11 to 31 inches (30 to 80 centimeters) long. These can take 40 to 50 minutes to process and are not portable. In comparison, samples analyzed with tiny electrophoresis systems migrate through microchannels that are only 0.4 to 2 inches (1 to 5 centimeters) long. This translates to small, portable devices with analysis times of about two to three minutes . Nonlinear electrophoresis has enabled more powerful devices by allowing researchers to separate and detect pathogens by their size and shape. My lab colleagues and I showed that combining nonlinear electrophoresis with microfluidics can not only separate, distinct types of bacterial cells but also live and dead bacterial cells . Tiny electrophoresis systems in medicine Microfluidic electrophoresis has the potential to be useful across industries. Primarily, these small systems can replace conventional analysis methods with faster results, greater convenience and lower cost . For example, when testing the efficacy of antibiotics , these tiny devices could help researchers quickly tell whether pathogens are dead after treatment. It could also help doctors decide which drug is most appropriate for a patient by quickly distinguishing between normal bacteria and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. My lab is also working on developing microelectrophoresis systems for purifying bacteriophage viruses that can be used to treat bacterial infections . With further development, the power of electric fields and microfluidics can speed up how researchers detect and fight pathogens.
