Dear Fambhru, how could you forget one of the greatest ever lived on Earth. There are facts about Jagdish Chandra Bose the greatest scientist ever lived. Not only You and I say that he is the best scientist, most famous and well-known people also say. Just I would place him in the top position in my real celebrity list. The fact that most of us don't know much about Jagdish Chandra Bose [J.C.Bose]. You all know this but we Indians don't have proof or patent on it.
1 Early Life:
2 Innovations:
3 Contribution:
He was born in 1858 when the British were continuously abusing India. He cleared his basic studies in Bengal school. His father's wish was for him to master his own language first. He was raised in a local of India and he is in pure Indian tradition.
He was sent to England to complete his doctorate course. But he failed to complete his orders. so this led them to enter his life in the Physics field. He came back to India as a Professor of Physics at Presidency College Calcutta. there he was just paid a hundred ruppes[100] per month. This was one third [1/3] of which Britishers were paid for the same qualifications.
Innovations:
Even holding all these obstacles in his head, His inventions changed the world. In 1895 [TownHall, Kolkatta] Sir J C Bose used electromagnetic waves to ring the bell which was 75 feet away. Just like how wifi works today. All this happened 2 years before Marconi invented the radio. Marconi was using BOCES Mercury coherer, which makes radio communication possible. Marconi just rushed to make money from the radio that is commercialized.
Whereas our J C Bose didn't even want to paint on his discovery. Not just radio, he generated and measured 5 millimetres of electromagnetic waves of 60 gigahertz in frequency. Before the instruments were even evolved to measure the frequencies, J C bose was dealing with millimetre-wave i.e backbone of 5g technology.
That's not the end of J C Bose's inventions. On the 10th of May 1901, he said that plants are also living beings like other animals. Plants can feel hot-cold, light, noise, etc… They also can feel the music and reacts also. In smooth music, it grows faster and healthier than growing in disturbing music.
Plants also feel pain, like when the roots are dipped in poison. They also scream like other animals. Recently a german scientist said that Plants and trees talk to each other. That was said by J C Bose many many years ago. He invented many tools and instruments that are still used in microwave technology. One of the instruments is Crescograph. Which helps us to understand stimuli in plants.

Contribution:
He is the first Indian science fiction writer. All his works and projects were made in a small room where he lived was size just 24 square feet. This was because India was colonized by the British. They are denied for a fully equipped true laboratory.
The great Indians contribution to the world is Zero. How many times we have heard of this statement. I want to change the mind of the people when they think of India. Our culture and our Contribution to the model world is greater. I want to hear examples of not just Einstein Edison and Marconi, But also of Indian great scientists. This is also because we Indians don't patent anything.
His greater Contribution was the founding stone of wireless communication. Wi-Fi, radio, internet all that is contributed by him as we enjoy it today. That he was happy to the underground as long as he made foundations. That's exactly India's contribution to the world. Throughout history, we have made innumerable foundations for the modern world.
In his name, there is a crater on the Moon. Crater means holes on the moons, which were caused by asteroids or in the creation of the moon.
That's the Reason Why I LOVE INDIA! If you have any questions ❓ or suggestions please leave a comment 📄. Don't hesitate to type ⌨ a single sentence. If you really liked 💗💓 this post then please share this.

OcuSciences Announces Publication Showing Flavoprotein Fluorescence May Detect Improvement in Metabolic Function Preceding Structural Improvement in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema Treated with Anti-VEGF
OcuSciences' flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) measure may assist in early disease detection and therapy monitoring in diabetic macular edema (DME)
January 02, 2019 12:37 PM Eastern Standard Time
ANN ARBOR, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OcuSciences, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing retinal imagers to detect early disease by assessing retinal metabolic activity, today announced the online publication of its diabetic macular edema study. The findings suggest that FPF can detect improvement in metabolic function that more directly correlates to vision improvement than the improvement in macular thickness measured by optical coherence tomography in DME patients treated with anti-VEGF.
The study, led by Dr. Richard Rosen, MD, professor of ophthalmology at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, followed eight patients with clinically significant DME (CSDME) before and after treatment with anti-VEGF injections. Dr. Rosen and lead author Dr. Jorge Andrade Romo, MD, found that the change in flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) before and after injection, measured by OcuSciences' flagship device, the OcuMet Beacon, more closely correlated with the change in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) than that of the change in central macular thickness (OCT CMT) and BCVA. This suggests that FPF can detect metabolic improvements that precede structural improvements in DME patients benefitting from anti-VEGF injections.
"This was a very important study for OcuSciences and our metabolic imager. The OcuMet Beacon, which rapidly and quantitatively measures FPF, could be a more sensitive measure of retinal health and improvement in vision than other measures for DME patients such as the gold standard, OCT," said Kurt Riegger, President and COO of OcuSciences. "This study suggests ophthalmologists and optometrists can begin to look for the earliest signs of retinal damage and improvement with therapy for their patients. If we can detect disease earlier, treat patients earlier, know whether or not a therapy is working earlier, we can improve patient outcomes."
The imaging modality for the OcuMet Beacon is based on research that was conducted at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center by Victor Elner, MD, PhD, an ophthalmologist and pathologist, and Howard Petty, PhD, a biophysicist and immunologist. The OcuMet Beacon uses a very specific wavelength of light that excites flavoproteins in the mitochondria that are not "working" efficiently. The dysfunctional flavoproteins emit a light that the device then captures and quantifies. Mitochondria, the powerhouse of all cells, are critical in the production of ATP for energy and in the signaling process for cell death. Therefore, measuring mitochondrial functional health is an important indicator of cellular damage and the precursor to cell death.
Since the OcuMet Beacon provides the operator with a quantitative FPF readout, physicians can, by taking multiple images over time, investigate the retinal metabolic change and thereby study the change due to disease and therapy. "An indication that a drug or intervention is working, or improving overall tissue metabolism, before structural changes become apparent, would be fantastic. I think this truly could be the next big leap in diagnosing, monitoring and treating retinal disease," said Rosen.
Drs. Rosen and Andrade Romo have no financial interest in the company. Author Dr. Victor Elner has a leadership position (Chief Scientific Officer) and financial interest in OcuSciences, Inc.
About OcuSciences, Inc.
OcuSciences, Inc., is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing retinal imagers to identify metabolic dysfunction occurring in the retina for the detection of early disease. Its flagship device, the OcuMet Beacon, is being developed to automatically and non-invasively assess retinal metabolic function by detecting the degree of flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF), a well-studied precursor to retinal cell death, in a patient's eye. OcuSciences has shown preliminary clinical utility in a number of different disease states, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. The study was conducted with IRB oversight as the device is not US-FDA approved.

EPA residents oppose sexual predator's release
MOST POPULAR: Video, stories and more
SIGN-UP: Get breaking news sent to you from ABC7 News
Donald Robinson, 57, who was sent to prison more than two decades ago from Santa Clara County for committing multiple sexual assaults against women, will move into a home at 903 Beech St. by Monday.
Robinson was convicted of 10 felonies between 1970 and 1984, including burglary and assault with a deadly weapon, East Palo Alto police Officer Brian Lee said. Three of the felonies were rapes and one was forced oral copulation, he said.
Lee said all of the victims were adult women but he did not disclose their ages.
Robinson was eligible for parole in 1997 but was kept in custody an extra 12 years under California's sexually violent predator program, which was signed into law Jan. 1 that same year.
On Aug. 20, the court ordered him to be moved out of a state mental hospital and continue his treatment while confined to a home in East Palo Alto.
His supervised relocation from Coalinga State Hospital was ordered by Santa Clara County Superior Court. The move is part of a state program designed to manage the risks posed by sex offenders with diagnosed mental disorders.
The court considered 1,100 locations around the county before selecting the Beech Street home, Santa Clara County Supervising Deputy District Attorney Dana Overstreet said.
She said Robinson grew up in the area and has family here.
Robinson will have to register as a sex offender with the East Palo Alto Police Department.
He will be under 24-hour surveillance by employees of Liberty Healthcare, the company hired to oversee his release. The employees have the same authority as parole officers, Overstreet said. He will be confined to the house and will wear a GPS tracking device and an alcohol monitor.
Robinson's restrictions will eventually taper off if he does not violate the terms of his relocation. However, he will not be driving a car, taking public transit or fully interacting with the community for years, if not decades, Overstreet said.
At tonight's meeting, a panel that included Police Chief Ron Davis, Mayor Ruben Abrica and Jayne Shale, executive director of Liberty Healthcare, fielded questions and took comments from community members.
Heather, a resident who declined to give her last name, doubted that Robinson is capable of choosing to stop committing sexual crimes.
"If he has a mental illness, then it is beyond his capacity to make that choice," she said.
Another woman yelled from the side of the room, "Once a predator, always a predator."
Questions ranged from technical inquiries about the GPS device to whether the city planned to trim the bushes in front of the Beech Street home.
One man, Mel Harris, said he planned to go to the county assessor's office Thursday morning to learn the name of the property owner who agreed to house Robinson.
The quest to find a home for Robinson was recently narrowed down to the house on Beech Street and another local residence; the latter was ruled out because it was too near a handful of schools, Shale said.
Davis said police will focus on keeping East Palo Alto residents safe from Robinson and also keeping Robinson out of harm's way.
He said police will work with local groups to notify community members of Robinson's presence, and that additional meetings will be scheduled. A flyer was available in English at tonight's meeting; additional flyers will be printed in Spanish, Davis said.
"The first step is today," he said.

ROOFTOP 'VILLAGE' FOR CITY CENTRE
GOOD TIMES ROLL ON WAVERLEY MARKET
Galashiels-based Keasim Ltd have applied for planning permission to create a 'Festival Village' on the vacant, 0.4 hectare roof terrace above Waverley Mall (Ref. 17/03159/FUL).
Their proposal – comprising a public house (the previously consented Malone's on the Mall), bar areas (champagne, gin and seafood bars etc.), a beer garden, live stage areas, hot-food kiosks, associated seating area, toilets, and other associated structures including a 'stretch-tent' marquee – is up and running.
Even though most of it has yet to be officially consented.
It is billed as existing for only a 'short period' in the months of June, July, August, and from mid-November to mid-January in the years 2017–2019 (a period, they note, of less than 5 months in any one calendar year). Operating hours would be 10am–11pm (extended to midnight during the Festival/Fringe).
Pre-application discussion was undertaken with City of Edinburgh Council, who advised on an acceptable time period. Spurtle is not clear whether Keasim took the Council's advice. Construction of the site preceded the application because the 'Applicant did not believe permission was required due to [the] temporary nature of the proposal'.
The Irish-themed bar Malone's on the Mall (along with a Bungydome) was approved in 2016 (Ref. 16/04038/FUL). Apparently its temporary nature was not deemed likely to have a 'significant impact' on the World Heritage Site, listed buildings or conservation areas. A similar view allowed construction of temporary Christmas attractions last December (Ref. 16/04882/FUL).
Activity, jobs, and views with booze
The current proposal, write Keasim's agents Ferguson Planning, 'simply seeks to bring an inactive area of the city back into use by offering residents and visitors a city centre location to relax and socialize [in] while enjoying the stunning views of the city. The proposal is an enhancement to what currently exists, bringing an extra security presence to an area well known for anti-social behaviour'.
They estimate the Festival Village would create jobs for over 100 people, including 30 bar staff, 20 security staff and 30–40 musicians.
They say the proposal, being lower than the already approved Bungydome, would have even less of an impact. It would reduce anti-social behaviour hereabouts, would not disturb local residents (of whom there are few nearby), and is situated within the Core Retail designation of the City Centre in a 'preferred location' for entertainment uses as outlined in Policy Ret 7 of the Council's Local Development Plan.
Basically, it's all going to be wonderful.
Hang on a minute … no it's not
The notion that these structures are 'temporary' is questionable to say the least. They may operate for a total of only 5 months per year, but they will be semi-permanently present at some point within 6 calendar months per year – perhaps even more if one allows for set-up and break-down.
And surely other entrepreneurs will follow suit. Why shouldn't they seek permission for temporary villages during the Scottish Storytelling Festival in October, the Science Festival in March and April, the Children's Festival in May? That would leave September and February temporarily clear so don't worry about lasting impact for the timebeing.
What about noise? Anyone who's ever left their mother in charge of the Hi-Fi knows how amplified music and gin-sodden enthusiasm travel within and beyond buildings, but they travel much further beyond unconfined outdoor venues. There may be very few residents at this end of Princes Street, if one discounts guests and staff in the Balmoral, but the Old Town still contains a few non-AirBnB flats where non-partying locals are entitled to undisturbed rest.
We're also dubious about the scheme's supposed merits for controlling bored youths behaving badly on Big Macs, Red Bulls and White Lightning. Are they not simply being displaced? Wouldn't it be better to find them something enjoyable, harmless and affordable to do rather than redesigning the heart of the capital on the back of an envelope?
And in any case, who is to say large numbers of champagne-swilling adults, requiring the presence of 20 security staff, will behave any better? Shoplifting teenagers or raucous grown-ups sicking-up seafood? Take your pick.
Could do better
What are we really looking at here? A clutter of shacks, sheds, glorified Portaloos, corrugated plastic, booths, tents, parasols, picket-fencing and a converted horsebox smack bang in the middle of one of Edinburgh's most iconic settings.
They may not ascend as high as the Bungydome (and what a stalking horse that looks like in retrospect), but neither are they invisible, inaudible, discreet or architecturally pleasing. They are not the product of a measured, thought-through vision for developing Edinburgh.
If we must further enliven what is already a lively city centre, then fine. But let's do it with sensitively designed, purpose-built, permanent structures which complement their world-renowned surroundings.
We don't blame Keasim for all this. They've spotted a gap in the market and a gap on the roof. Good for them! But this proposal is not good for Edinburgh in the long term. It's a guddle … one which an opportunistic, cash-strapped, tourism-obsessed Council like ours will find very hard to resist.
Got a view? Tell us at spurtle@hotmail.co.uk or @theSpurtle or Facebook
E-mail from David Young: It's all of a piece with Edinburgh Council's aspiration to be (as one commentator memorably put it) 'the Duracell Bunny of the city-break circuit'.
After all, this is the town where Hogmanay will soon stretch – hellishly – all the way to Burns Night, because the bosses at Underbelly feel that three days of raucous celebrations aren't quite enough, and January in Edinburgh is too 'dark and quiet' anyway.
So it'll be no surprise if a 'temporary' Festival Village made of canvas and balloons gets enthusiastic permission to squat and throb noisily in the very centre of the capital for almost six months of the year.

Harry & Meghan Address Structural Racism In An Essay For Britain's Black History Month
"In many ways sufficient progress has not been achieved."
To commemorate the start Britain's Black History Month this October, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle called for an end to structural racism in a new essay. The two reflected on the "unquestionable progress" that has been made in a piece for Evening Standard published on Thursday, Oct. 1, but also maintained that there was still a long ways to go. Along with putting pen to paper, Harry and Meghan also sat down for an interview with the publication and touched on the global Black Lives Matter movement.
"As we look at society today, there has been unquestionable progress in the three decades since Black History Month was formally established in the UK, yet in many ways sufficient progress has not been achieved," Harry and Meghan wrote. "For as long as structural racism exists, there will be generations of young people of color who do not start their lives with the same equality of opportunity as their white peers. And for as long as that continues, untapped potential will never get to be realized."
The two also touched on representation in the media. "If you are white and British, the world you see often looks just like you… that is not a criticism; it's reality," they continued. "Many recognize this, but others are not aware of the effect this has on our own perspective, our own bias, but also the effect it has on young people of color." They then reiterated the importance of Black Britons "seeing role models that share the same color skin as them, and seeing and reading stories of success and of hope from those who look like them" as "absolutely vital in opening doors of opportunity."
"We cannot change history, nor can we edit our past," the two later concluded. "But we can define our future as one that is inclusive, as one that is equal, and one that is colourful."
While honoring their BHM NextGen Trailblazers of Brits who've championed equality, Meghan and Harry also expressed support for the Black Lives Matter movement. "For me, it's awareness and education and teaching," Harry said, adding that he "had an awakening" to the wide-reaching effects of racism worldwide. "I wasn't aware of so many of the issues and so many of the problems within the U.K., but also globally as well," he said, stressing the importance of learning. Meghan added of the movement, "The impetus is for a place of recognizing equality, and if you just go back to its ground level of that, then I don't think there is anything controversial about it."
The two have voiced their support of BLM in the past. In a video for high school graduates from her alma mater in June, Meghan addressed the death of George Floyd. "I'm so sorry that you have to grow up in a world where this is still present," she said. "The only wrong thing to say is to say nothing, because George Floyd's life mattered, and Breonna Taylor's life mattered, and Philando Castile's life mattered, and Tamir Rice's life mattered, and so did so many other people whose names we know, and whose names we do not know."

An Ohio Senate committee Tuesday got an unusual group of visitors: protesters in costumes from the dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale."
CINCINNATI — An Ohio Senate committee Tuesday got an unusual group of visitors: protesters in costumes from the dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale.
Similar protests have taken place around the country as women dressed in long red robes and white bonnets protest abortion-related bills or other bills seen as restricting women's rights.
The outfits are from Margaret Atwood's 1985 feminist novel that was adapted into a series earlier this year for Hulu. The novel takes place in a near-future dystopia where women have been stripped of all their rights. "Handmaids," which the women in Texas were dressed as, are designated breeders forced to bear children.
In Columbus Tuesday the women were protesting a bill that would ban a widely-used surgical abortion procedure, effectively banning most abortions after 13 weeks gestation.


Volunteers on the beautiful Caribbean island of St. Martin are working hard to help make sure kid's have a joyous holiday season. Led by a group named "All About a Smile," people came together last Wednesday — just before Thanksgiving — at a holiday toy drive to collect over 250 toys for children in need.
The 2017/18 high season on St. Martin was a painful time for most businesses, as they struggled to overcome the damage caused by hurricanes Irma and Maria. It was a time to refocus, rebuild and rejoice the gift of life.
After a full year of rebuilding the "friendly island," local businesses are ready and waiting for the 2018/19 high season. Many flights that were cancelled a year ago are now back, and there are a lot of hotels and resorts open for business again. This holiday season is going to see a lot more tourists than last year, for certain. Hopefully, that includes you!
As much as things have improved over the last year, there are still a lot of kids and families in dire straights. The struggles of many families on the island have existed long before the 2017 hurricane season, but Irma made things that much more difficult for people that had already been living day to day.
A big positive from Irma is that it brought people together on St. Martin like never before. Volunteer organizations were created, people started working together, and the entire community on the island helped to pick each other up from an otherwise devastating time. It was a time of unification for the people who say, "I from here." And from an outsiders perspective — like me — it was a beautiful thing to witness.
Even though a lot has improved on the island, there are still a whole lot of kids and families in need. Tourists like me used to visit the island and drive through poor areas so we could get to the beach or our resort. Now, tourists are coming to the island and helping those same people who live in those poor areas. The beauty of human nature remains on full display on St. Martin thanks to the awareness that was created after Irma.
All About a Smile continues to collect toys and donations that will be used to support families and children in need on the island. There are a lot of ways to give, and that giving really makes a huge difference to those struggling to survive on this tiny island.
Click here to donate to All About a Smile or visit their Facebook page.
Or show your support for the island with an SXM Strong t-shirt or trucker hat like these below. All proceeds raised go directly to assist families and children in need.

From Libya via Lampedusa. In the dark, the hotel that loomed after the last hairpin bend looked rather like Overlook in Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining. But that's where the resemblance ends. Montecampione, altitude 1,800 meters, is a ski resort at the end of the road winding up the Camonica Valley in Lombardy. The most striking thing on arrival here is being greeted with the faces and voices from another continent. Since June 2011, more than 100 Africans who fled the war inhave been settled in this hotel by the Brescia police authority, in line with the Italian government's policy of spreading thearound the country. In most places the local authorities have been required to house them, but here private enterprise has also been asked to contribute. The hotel in Montecampione houses and feeds the migrants for 40 euros a head per day. The nearest village in the valley is more than 20km away, so the migrants are cut off from the outside world while they await a decision on their fates.
"We live in a strange situation here," admitted a lively young Ghanaian called Michael. "We've got absolutely nothing to do, but we're all impatient to find work and start our lives again." The last five migrants to arrive in Montecampione are equally bewildered. They reached Lampedusa early in August, and were taken across Italy. They have got plenty of time to find out about where they have ended up.

Marketing Strategies: Lessons from Starbucks and AT&T
by Andrew Lock
Small business marketing expert Andrew Lock weighs in on new strategies from two big companies. What can SMBs learn? Plus, a great Web tool from Google.
If you're looking for creative small business marketing ideas to boost your bottom line and stay ahead of your competition, you've certainly come to the right place. Whether it's taking note of what large companies do -- and then showing how you can adapt those strategies to fit your business -- or finding cool Web tools that make you more efficient and productive, Andrew Lock shares his marketing expertise with plenty of humor and lots of fun. Click on the Help! My Business Sucks logo below, and watch the latest episode.
Did you see the world cup final? I was in New York while it was going on, and there were little huddles of people grouped around portable TV's on the streets, it was amusing to watch. See if you agree with the observations from John Cleese (Monty Python) about football / soccer, whatever you want to call it.
Starbucks recently changed its Wi-Fi policy in stores. It used to cost, but now it's free, in line with many other popular food/drink destinations not least of which is McDonalds. There's a downside though -- seems like business people are virtually living in Starbucks and using it as their office! Apparently in some locations it's becoming tough to find a place to sit down and drink a cup of coffee.

Such an informative post! I ended up finding great property rental agencies after tons of research. I'm glad I was able to find these resources before I made a purchase.
This post is quite interesting. I recently purchased a home to use as a rental property and have been looking around for the right commercial property management solutions. This article offered some great insights on what I need to look for and avoid when hiring the right property management company.

The RISC-V ISA has been featured in the latest edition of the Microprocessor Report in and item "RISC-V OFFERS SIMPLE, MODULAR ISA" written by David Kanter of The Linley Group.
On the basis of early developments, the RISC-V ISA appears promising. It offers all the basic RISC features witha few twists that simplify the implementation, thereby reducing die area and potentially power consumption. Compared with today's two most popular ISAs, RISC-V offers considerable area savings, particularly for low end designs and the ability to add custom extensions. Compared with ISAs such as ARC and Tensilica, RISC-V offers fewer technical advantages but its open source business model will continue to drive interest in the new ISA.

Q: webpack publicPath - Use different urls to reuse bundles Given the following scenario.
A webpack build producing 3 bundles, and a CI publishing them to a CDN like this (every build id produces a new folder):
www.cdn.com/1/application.js
www.cdn.com/1/chunk-a.js
www.cdn.com/1/chunk-b.js

now, consider that the next build produces:
www.cdn.com/2/application.js
www.cdn.com/2/chunk-a.js
www.cdn.com/2/chunk-b.js

It might happen that some of these files are identical, let's say that nothing changes but application.js. We have a script that produces a manifest, it simply compares these two builds and produces:
{
  files: [
    'www.cdn.com/1/chunk-a.js',
    'www.cdn.com/1/chunk-b.js',
    'www.cdn.com/2/application.js'
  ]
}

we want to hook into the webpack chunk loader strategy and load the chunks from the build 1, since there is no reason to invalidate any client cache.
To be more specific, we want to patch the release, so that we can reuse static assets if possible.

we want a hook that retrieves the request and returns a url that webpack will then use to load the asset, something like:
interface Hook {
  (chunk: string): string
}

hook('chunk-a') => 'www.cdn.com/1/chunk-a.js'
hook('chunk-b') => 'www.cdn.com/1/chunk-b.js'
hook('application.js') => 'www.cdn.com/2/application.js'

*

*webpack feature request to use __webpack_public_path__

A: As per Aug 2019, this is currently not possible with webpack@4. A pull request has been merged into webpack@next and will deliver a feature exposing how url is generated in webpack@5.
__webpack_get_script_filename__ = (asset: string) => string

Los Angeles Chargers Los Angeles Rams New England Patriots Baltimore Ravens
Kings of the Road: Chargers have thrived in games out East

COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP) — Philip Rivers and the Los Angeles Chargers have already played in most of the toughest road environments in the NFL this season.
So a trip to New England for Sunday's AFC divisional-round game isn't anything out of the ordinary.
Considering how well the Chargers have played away from home, it may end up being an advantage. Los Angeles is 8-1 on the road, but its only loss came in Week 3, when it took the bus to the LA Memorial Coliseum and lost to the Rams.
"We've found a way. We've won in a lot of different ways on the road this year — in some tough environments," Rivers said. "We've won with big defensive stops and a couple of two-minute end-of-game drives. Kind of all different ways."
They join the 1984 and '89 San Francisco 49ers as the only West squads to win five regular-season and/or postseason games going East or farther.
Only 16 times since the merger has a team from the west won four or more games coming East or over the Atlantic. The 2013 49ers were the previous team to do it, going 4-0 which included a game in London.
Coach Anthony Lynn credited the team's road routine, which includes traveling on Friday afternoon for long road trips, and having a young team has helped galvanize them.
"I hope that shows we are an extraordinary team," offensive tackle Russell Okung said. "I think anytime you beat a team on the road it proves a lot about one's execution. Going in tough, hostile environments only adds to our confidence."
The Chargers' 23-17 win last week against Baltimore in the AFC wild-card round was their best road game this season as they sacked Lamar Jackson seven times and held him to 26 passing yards in the first three quarters. Rivers threw for 160 yards and completed passes to nine players.
The road resume also includes rallying from 16 points down to beat Pittsburgh on Dec. 2, which ended the Steelers' 175-game unbeaten streak with at least a 16-point lead at home and marked the largest blown lead at home in franchise history.
The road success also included a 29-28 victory at Kansas City on Dec. 13 where the Chargers trailed by two touchdowns midway through the fourth quarter and a 25-17 victory over Seattle on Nov. 4 where they needed a pass deflection in the end zone on the final play.
"Our guys are hardened to a certain degree about playing in tough spots. Being down, being able to come back and win those games, that can help, I guess, as much as anything to prepare you for it," offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt said.
While the Chargers have thrived in hostile environments, Sunday's game against the Patriots might be their biggest challenge yet.
New England has won eight straight playoff home games, which is tied for the fourth-longest streak in NFL history. The Patriots have also won seven straight home games in the divisional round.
"We do special things on the road. That's a fact, not an opinion," defensive tackle Damion Square said. "Tom (Brady) has been able to do a lot of really good things in his career but history doesn't win games. Sunday is about proving we have enough. You rely on the guys you have with you and rely on your fundamentals."
Lynn does have experience beating the Patriots in the playoffs. He was the Jets' running backs coach when they defeated New England 28-21 eight years ago in the divisional round. While many have focused on the Patriots' mystique, Lynn said he is keeping his team concentrating on what they need to do to win.
"We definitely can't make mistakes. That team cannot beat themselves and I respect that about their organization. That's a skill and an advantage they've had for a long time," he said.
Even though the Chargers have had three cold-weather games since Dec. 1, they have lucked out in that it hasn't been frigid or snowing. Sunday's forecast does have a chance of snow, which is the one thing they can't simulate.
"In California you can't prepare for that. You know, 29, 30 (degrees) whatever it's supposed to be, to me, that's good football weather. So it might be cold, breezy, but we'll be fine," Lynn said.


B.C. Teachers' Federation president Susan Lambert.
B.C. Teachers' Federation members have voted 75.3 per cent in favour of accepting a tentative agreement with the province, bringing to a close a tumultuous school year that featured the cessation of extracurricular activities and a lack of report cards.
The results were released Friday night after 21,044 teachers cast ballots over three days. The turnout rate was 52 per cent.
BCTF's executive had reluctantly recommended that teachers vote in favour of the two-year deal, which is retroactive to July 1, 2011, and expires on June 30, 2013.
The failure to address class size and composition, and teachers' salaries are major problems, she said.
The executive of the Greater Victoria Teachers' Association had recommended that its members vote against the deal.
Association president Tara Ehrcke said she was disappointed at the ratification.
"I don't think that reflects how Victoria teachers felt and I think there are teachers out there who wanted to send a message to government saying this isn't good enough," said Ehrcke.
She said the vote came around quickly and teachers were tired by the long process "and I think when teachers go back in the fall and they see larger class sizes than ever, that they're going to think this really hasn't solved things," Ehrcke said.
Victoria school board chairwoman Peg Orcherton said she was happy and looking forward to relief in the next school year. "Hopefully this will give everyone an opportunity to take a break and a breath and get ready for the next year," said Orcherton.
Michael McEvoy, present of the B.C. School Trustees' Association, felt relief "because it's been a very difficult year for everyone — teachers, parents, staff and most importantly, students.
The results of the vote were "pretty substantial" in support of ratification but there are clouds on the horizon, he said. "Both parties have left a lot off the table ... so there's a lot to talk about.
He said the bargaining process helped to build relationships between the parties which will bode well going into the upcoming negotiations.
The two sides reached a tentative agreement late Tuesday following weeks of mediation under Charles Jago.
