Guest Host Ken Matthews
Check out these stories from Ken Matthews' Stack of Stuff — and remember, Rush 24/7 Members can enjoy all three hours of this or any broadcast via audio streaming or as a podcast.
Stand Up for Betsy Ross Helps Gold Star Widow
RUSH: Mecca Nelson is a Gold Star widow. Her husband was killed in action, and Tunnel to Towers was able to pay off her mortgage — and, folks, it's not Kathryn and me. It is you.
Democrats Pump the Brakes on Impeachment
RUSH: On one hand they are presenting a picture full speed ahead. And then, on the other hand, if you know how to look at it, they're applying the brakes.
Donald Trump Is Having the Time of His Life
RUSH: I think he's just eating this up.
Turmoil as Radical Left Fails in Primary
RUSH: The Democrats' problems are further accentuated because whatever they are talking about is being overshadowed and overwhelmed by this faux impeachment push.
The Climate Change Cult Is Frustrated
RUSH: This is desperation. The climate change crowd is losing the battle for public opinion.
Capitalism Is Scary? It Didn't Scare Me!
RUSH: Breitbart story: "Poll: 69% of Voters Prefer Free Market Capitalism to Socialism, 50% Say They Will Not Vote for a Socialist Candidate."
Obama: Trump Had No Idea About Our Spy Operation
RUSH: There's a New York Times story that I think everybody's missing what it's about. It is that after Trump met with Obama in 2016, Obama said Trump "knows nothing."
It's Liberating Not to Fear Outside Opinions
RUSH: It's the natural human existence. You want to be loved. We all do.
The True Story of Thanksgiving
RUSH: It's actually not quite 30 years now we've been reading from my second book, See, I Told You So, Chapter 6: "Dead White Guys, or What the History Books Never Told You: The True Story of Thanksgiving."
George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation
RUSH: Does that sound like an atheist or agnostic to you? Don't think so.
Rush 24/7 Stack of Stuff
RUSH: You will get specifically the stories that I talk about on the program and a select list of a few others that I intended to get to but ran out of time.
Despite Public, It's Full Speed Ahead on Impeachment
RUSH: Impeachment is something the media wants probably more than Pelosi and the Democrats do. They have some trepidation about it, but the media is forcing her into this.
Orange Cult Leader Using Mind Control to Block Impeachment
RUSH: They wonder why they're not able to drive a wedge between Trump and his voters when all they do is insult them?
A Tidal Wave Is Building. Just Look at the Black Vote
RUSH: I think all of this talk about Michelle Obama as a late entry into the campaign is going on because she may be the only Democrat that can hold on to a slipping black vote going to Trump.
What to Expect from Nadler, the Round Mound of the Gavel
RUSH: If Nadler somehow fails to make the case, then he can become the fall guy for Pelosi.
Obama Says Biden Doesn't Have a Bond with Voters
RUSH: People have been asking, "I wonder why Obama hasn't endorsed Biden." There's a whole host of reasons, but now we can add another one. Obama thinks he's a stiff.
Monday Night Football Condemned as "The Biden Zone"
RUSH: It just is an indication that everybody recognizes the limitations and the faux pas that involve Biden.
Tunnel to Towers Pays Off More Homes Thanks to Stand Up for Betsy Ross
RUSH: Frank Siller, Tunnel to Towers Foundation, was on Fox this morning wearing some brand-new Stand Up for Betsy Ross gear that's available at RushLimbaugh.com at the "Store" tab.
Caller Kudos for POTUS Standing with SEAL Gallagher
RUSH: At the White House yesterday the dog that led them to the lair of the ISIS leader was given a medal. There is a bunch of people that are steadfastly opposed to that.

The application opens Sunday, March 1 and closes on Wednesday, April 1 at 5:00pm. Entrepreneurs, start-ups, and established companies can enter via a simple online application at GorhamSavings.bank/LaunchPad. Five finalists will be invited to compete at a live pitch event on Tuesday, June 2 at USM's Hannaford Hall in Portland, at which time the winner will be announced.

Access and update a previous submission if they applied to LaunchPad in 2019
More than 550 participants spanning 100 plus Maine cities and towns from over 25 industries have applied to LaunchPad since 2013. Winners have received more than $300,000 in no-strings-attached grant money from Gorham Savings Bank.
"Over the past eight years, we've witnessed some remarkable things happen to our past LaunchPad winners and finalists–awards, recognition, growth and some great successes. It's always exciting for us at the Bank to be a small part of their stories," said Steve deCastro, president and CEO, Gorham Savings Bank. "As a community bank we strive to be a force for good and each year LaunchPad affords us the opportunity to give another promising Maine business a hand up."
New to the judge's panel at LaunchPad's live event is Kate McAleer, founder of Bixby & Co., who previously served as a preliminary judge, and won LaunchPad as a contestant in 2014. Kate has gone on to achieve great things since her LaunchPad debut, including revitalizing manufacturing in Rockland, landing large contracts with LL Bean, Hannaford, Whole Foods, Walmart, and TJ Maxx, and being named a National Confectioners Association Future Leader. Bixby was selected one of 10 winners nationally by the Tory Burch Foundation Fellows Competition for women entrepreneurs.
LaunchPad's new preliminary judges, Becky McKinnell, founder of iBec Creative and Richard Petersen, president of MaineHealth and CEO of Maine Medical Center, will review applications and help select five businesses to compete in the live competition.

Film ain't dead. It's just retired.
Welcome. For almost 15 years the bythom.com Web site covered Nikon film SLRs and my two original Nikon books that were for those cameras. With Nikon having only the F6 film body still in the lineup here in the US, I've moved all my film SLR coverage here to this separate site where all my articles and books for those products are a little easier to find and navigate. On the old bythom.com site the digital camera and DSLR coverage was making the film content hard to find.
Use the menus at the top to navigate amongst all the articles and reviews. Not a lot of new film products or information appear these days, but some do show up every now and then, so there is a news/views section with an RSS feed if you want to keep up with that. If you just want to bookmark a page, I suggest that you bookmark the news/view page. If you want to see all the new articles on all the bythom sites, just go to www.bythom.com.
Help me improve my sites! If you find incorrect or incomplete information, be sure to let me know. Just fill out the form on the Contact page or use the email contact at the bottom of this page and let me know what you found.


What we have to do is identify the proper place of computer technology. Instead of allowing it to render our responsibility superfluous, we have to realize that it increases our responsibility.
Bits can represent almost anything! This is a very powerful concept; not because bits are so special (they are just 1s and 0s after all), but because we can define how to interpret bits as we see fit. Bits can be commands, numbers, images, sounds, activities, letters, and so forth, all depending on our interpretation. This is not unlike spoken and written language. For example, the word table is dependent on interpretation—we might mean an object with a flat surface standing on four legs (more or less), or we might mean an arrangement of rows and columns on a page with entries of text or numbers. Our computer bits are similarly dependent on the context. The bits must be interpreted by the computer. Sometimes we have to give the computer a hint by specify which program to use when interpreting the bits. We might do this by responding to a dialog prompt from the computer operating system that asks which program should be used to open a file. We might also give a hint by naming a file with a special extension (such as .doc or .txt) that tells the operating system which program to use as the interpreter.
The type of information or knowledge we can represent with bits is limited only by our own imagination in developing the appropriate interpretation and implementing it in a computer program. Of course, human imagination is tainted by the effects of sin. The Reformed tradition of Christianity views the history of the universe in three stages: creation, fall, redemption. The fall means that even our computer programs will suffer the ill effects of sin. However, as Christians we can work to redeem the creation in Christ's name. That means engaging the world, including the world of computers, in an effort to identify and celebrate that which is good and reject that which is sin. Because they are used as a representation that must be interpreted, computer bits are not neutral from an ethical standpoint. That interpretation, implemented by human programmers, will be warped by sin. For example, we can recognize this effect by insisting that no program can ever be foolproof or perfect. On the other hand, a computer program can serve as a tool to help us celebrate God's goodness if it helps us better to understand the inner workings of a molecule or a weather system.
As we use the computer as a tool to analyze complex systems, to understand processes and interactions, to predict the future behavior of an ecosystem or a weather system, we must take care. If users rely on the computer for all the answers, without understanding the algorithm (and the model, the input, the precision, the method, etc.), then they are little more than data-entry clerks—having little ability to recognize valid results, not understanding how to adapt the design, and adding little value to what the programmer who wrote the software already has done. Knowing how to "push the button" takes very little training. Knowing which button to push, how often, with what expectations, and when to trust the result requires an education in fundamentals and a modest depth of experience in the field. The computer (at least for today) cannot replace the human being. It is a powerful tool, among many, at the disposal of the scientist, engineer, sociologist, and historian (to name a few). It can be used to improve efficiency, accuracy, creativity, reliability, and understandability. It can also waste time, stifle creativity, distort reliability, and obscure information. Our task is to learn how to maximize the advantages while minimizing the dangers. That challenging task is simply part of the redemptive, transformational process that all Christians are engaged in (but perhaps Christians in the Reformed tradition in particular).


Francesca is the community manager at Third Republic. Passionate about promoting careers in the Salesforce ecosystem.
In the world of Salesforce, the term 'architect' is thrown around a lot. So much so, that I highly doubt that there is anyone working in the ecosystem who hasn't heard the term 'Certified Technical Architect'.
Referring to them as the 'Salesforce Elite', earlier this year Salesforce published an article detailing exactly WHY everyone should aspire to reach certified technical architect status. But that got me thinking – desire aside, how does one become a Salesforce Certified Technical Architect?
To help answer this question, I recently sat down with Timothy Gentet-O'Brien – Technical Architect at EMPAUA – and discussed exactly how he made the leap into technical architecture, and his recommendations for others looking to do the same.
As Tim puts it, 'certifications are definitely good, because they tell you what you need to learn'. This isn't much of a surprise, considering the fact that the role is called a certified technical architect. However, Tim then highlighted that those looking to climb the Salesforce ladder shouldn't just focus on ticking the box and getting their certification, because that piece of paper isn't the be all and end all of technical architecture. Tim maintained that certifications are limited in how much they can advance your knowledge or progression, and you should therefore use certifications to understand what you need to know but should then look beyond the certification curriculum if you truly want to understand technical architecture.
It's something we've heard over and over again, but the industry's focus on soft skills simply isn't going to abate anytime soon. Even as technology continues to evolve and advance, professionals still need to be able to interact with their clients and their business – and this is especially true at the technical architect level. So much so that Tim highlighted that 'for me, and for anyone else who wants to succeed as a technical architect, soft skills cannot be secondary'. Simply put, you need to be able to sit down and have a conversation, to build a relationship with a client and to speak to them on a non-technical level that they will understand. And it is only by focusing on your soft skills and bringing them up to scratch will you be able to achieve that.
One of the beauties of the Salesforce ecosystem is that it is constantly changing, evolving and growing. Compare it now to what it looked like even a year or two ago, and the advancements are amazing. That being said, it can make working in the industry – and advancing within it – slightly tricky because you need to constantly refresh your knowledge. To put it simply, don't assume you know everything – because you definitely don't. Therefore, to succeed as a technical architect you have to put the time and effort in to ensure you remain on top of the technology and what is happening in the industry. Tim – who spends a few hours a month reading and re-confirming his knowledge using things like the Salesforce Developer Guides on their Success website – summarised it pretty well: 'When you work in an ecosystem that changes as much as this one does, you cannot forget the importance of reading and learning'.
In line with this, being a technical architect doesn't mean you can build the most complex solutions; it means you can develop a solution that fixes a need. Sometimes, that solution should be simple and sometimes it shouldn't. But the hallmark of a good technical architect is being able to dig deeper to understand the goals of the process and avoiding over-engineering a solution simply because you think you have to be clever about what you do – so bear this in mind as you advance up the ranks, because you're more likely to be successful when you design to meet a need, rather than designing for the point of doing something cool.

Distinguished OVs, who have excelled in their chosen profession, are invited by the Headmaster to join The Barnabas Group and speak to the school in College Hall about their experiences, lessons learned and the encouragement they feel able to pass on as a result.
Founded in 2008, the group is named after St Barnabas, the 'son of encouragement' (Acts of the Apostles Ch.4, v.36). St Barnabas travelled with St Paul on his missionary journey during the early years of establishing the Christian church, and is credited with being an inspirational figure. The Barnabas Group was founded to build on this theme for the benefit of future generations of pupils.
In a continually changing world it is important that young people have role models to whom they can look for inspiration and motivation. Such people can come from many walks of life, and the OV community provides a rich variety of such individuals.

Q: AWS Amplify mock function I have frustratingly been trying to mock functions using AWS amplify.
For some reason they always timeout, regardless of what I set the --timeout to.
I have recently come across a solution a thought I would post it as an answer.

A: Basically I change the handler from
exports.handler = async (event) => {
to
const mainFunct = async () => {
and call the funtion using mainFunct(); at the end of the index.js file
you can install the aws-sdk using your terminal and going all the way into the function's ....\src directory.
then running \src> npm install missing-modules for whatever modules are missing.
-Just remember to update your .gitignore to not commit the node-modules folder in the function's src folder. (So many files ...)
Then simply run the function as if it's a node.js file.
C:\path\to\function\src> node index.js
you can also add an output file, which I find making my console.log() statements a lot easier to read and debug on
C:\path\to\function\src> node index.js > functionOutputFile.json
Works for me so far and couldn't find anything online about this...

A: There is a lot of info about running lambda functions locally on the Amplify website. You can invoke the function directly with amplify mock myfunction, or use amplify mock with a GraphQL API.
https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/usage/mock
NB: REST APIs cannot be mocked locally currently.
I used amplify function add to make a function, then I modified my GraphQL API's schema to proxy to the lambda locally using the @function directive.
https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/graphql-transformer/function
You may need to configure your function with environment variables. The Amplify team recently added support via .env files,

A Biblical Response to Sensationalism, Bias, and Hype in the Media. We are joined by Dr. Dan Olinger (Professor, Bible Chair at BJU). Topics discussed include: Recognizing sensationalism in media makes money but is NOT Biblical. Fake news is wrong about Americans being so "Angry." The role Christians can bring in finding solutions to problems in our country. Solutions – Understanding the Sovereignty of God and how it controls our reactions to the media.

It appears we face a lot of apathy among American Believers, and many Christians don't seem to be upset about things that we should find upsetting. Romans 12:9 says to "abhor that which is evil" and Ephesians 5:10 says we are to "reprove" the works of darkness. How do we preach the message of putting our faith in action without crossing the line into scare tactics or sensationalism?

Student Spotlight: Caroline Ackley
Genetics of neural development and behavior in the nematode C. elegans.

Caroline Ackley is a Ph.D. student in the Rothman Lab in the department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UC Santa Barbara. She is from San Anselmo, California and received her B.S. degree in Biopsychology from UCSB.
Why Choose UCSB?
UCSB has great campus-wide resources beyond MCDB. For example, the Graduate Division offers professional development opportunities to help you build your CV. I plan on completing the CCUT (Certificate in College and University Teaching) to prepare for a career in academic research. We also have access to high-end equipment through facilities like the CNSI (California NanoSystems Institute). Research is a strong focus on our campus, and graduate students get support in the form of funding opportunities, mental health resources, motivated undergraduate research assistants, etc. We also have friendly competitions like the UC Grad Slam and Art in Science events that are fun to compete in every year.
MCDB has a very collaborative atmosphere - people here recognize each other's strengths and are extremely enthusiastic about sharing ideas and knowledge. Professors and faculty treat graduate students like colleagues, and there are always multiple people you can turn to for advice. I also like that our department places an emphasis on developing science communication and presentation skills as well as general scientific literacy. Graduate students from MCDB and our sister department BMSE are part of a student union called GUMBI (Graduate Union of Molecular Biology Investigators) that runs seminars hosted by a different PhD candidate each week to get peer-peer feedback. We also get together for department BBQs and other social events.
Santa Barbara is a beautiful place to live with every kind of activity nearby that you could imagine. I got into road cycling shortly after moving here because of all the great bike paths and gorgeous scenery we have around. It's part of the reason why I've stayed here since starting as an undergrad in 2010!
I live in Goleta (the town adjacent to campus) because its a quiet residential neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and other things to do. However, many students choose to live in downtown Santa Barbara, which is a short drive/bus ride away from campus, and which is a popular vacation spot for people all over the world. Businesses here are extremely dog-friendly, and it's not uncommon to see one or two dogs in local breweries in our famous Funk Zone district.
I'm fascinated with how organisms develop because it's a lot like asking how a car works by looking at how it was built – by understanding the various components, we can reach a nuanced understanding of how and why we evolved to function a certain way.
Caroline Ackley, Graduate Student
Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology
During development, gene networks guide cells to adopt specific properties and functions, leading to a complete organism comprised of highly divergent cell types. Neurons are a particularly diverse cell type that require finely tuned genetic pathways to develop correctly. My research aims to understand how these gene regulatory networks lead to form and function in neurons using the soil-dwelling nematode C. elegans and tardigrade H. exemplaris as model organisms. There are several benefits to studying neurobiology in both animals, including their size and the fact that they are both transparent. Previous work has already uncovered the entire connectome and cell-fate map of C. elegans which allows us to ask complex questions about how their brains develop. Additionally, C. elegans and tardigrades can be genetically manipulated through RNAi feeding, transgenics, and mutagenesis to understand gene regulatory mechanisms on a fine scale. Ultimately, this research could inform future studies into personalized medicine and enhance our overall understanding of how brains develop.
How and Why Did You Get Into Your Area of Research?
I earned my undergraduate degree in Biopsychology from UCSB and was fortunate to assist in a few labs on campus. After graduating, I joined Benjamin Reese's lab as a lab technician in the field of retinal development. I'm fascinated with how organisms develop because it's a lot like asking how a car works by looking at how it was built – by understanding the various components, we can reach a nuanced understanding of how and why we evolved to function a certain way. Once I joined the graduate program, I switched from working with mice to working with worms because of the kinds of experiments you can perform in such a small, short-lived animal. Our generation of researchers has incredible access to cutting-edge genetic tools (like CRISPR) that makes the work I do especially exciting.
What Do You Find Rewarding About Your Research?
Worm research is exciting because we are constantly finding out new things about an organism that people don't often think (or even know) about. Although it might seem far removed from the kind of research that leads to life-saving medical interventions, a lot of important discoveries that changed our understanding of human biology were first made in C. elegans. I love doing research that answers questions more closely related to who we are and where we came from and thinking about what kind of impact it might have in the future.

So…how's that whole climate-change thing going?
The article Biden Wakes Up From The Strangest Dream That He Was Attending International Climate Conference ( Babylon Bee ) is a joke, but…is it really? It feels true, doesn't it?
I am an optimistic man and, yet, we must be realistic. These people at COP26 are nearly literally all of the same people who've done nearly nothing since Kyoto. Remember Kyoto? Nah, no-one does. That was COP3 in 1997. Almost a quarter-century ago. Back then, it was absolutely necessary that something be done. Nothing was done.

The other day, we wanted to hike L'Argentine, a challenging day-hike in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland. It starts and ends in a little "town" called Solalex.

Retribution, not justice
"I am convinced that imprisonment is a way of pretending to solve the problem of crime. It does nothing for the victims of crime, but perpetuates the idea of retribution, thus maintaining the endless cycle of violence in our culture. It is a cruel and useless substitute for the elimination of those conditions–poverty, unemployment, homelessness, desperation, racism, greed–which are at the root of most punished crime. The crimes of the rich and powerful go mostly unpunished."

Just over a year in to the national NDIS rollout, and there are a few sore points for many families. One of these is respite. We field a lot of questions about it so we've created this blog to help provide clarity.
Initially it was believed that respite would not be offered as part of NDIS funding packages because it was thought to benefit family/carers, rather than the person with a disability who receives the funding.
To this, people spoke up, and the NDIA now recognises that sustaining the informal support of family or carers is very important to meet the needs of people with a disability and maintaining close supportive relationships.
But I can't find respite in the NDIS price guide?
In a nutshell this means that respite options in your area – such as flexi, in-home respite, centre based day respite or overnight respite are able to be funded as part of plans, providing you're eligible.
How do I get NDIS funding for respite?
We've prepared a downloadable fact sheet that includes applicable NDIS support items and reference numbers to enable you to understand how to specifically request respite options in your plan.
It's also worth noting that to give yourself the best chance of getting what you need, you will need to justify to your planner why respite is reasonable and necessary. Anecdotally, we have been finding that the people who can best justify why supports are reasonable and necessary have been getting the best results. To read more about this in action, click through to this blog.
What kind of respite support is available under the NDIS?
•	Level 2: 14 to 28 days per year and includes a strategy to build capabilities for future independence.
•	Level 3: Equivalent of 28 days per year, when the carer provides support most days and informal support is at risk of not continuing due to the intensity of the support required or severe behavioural issues.
These levels of support will be determined by the level of disability and intensity of support required from family or informal carers, and other commitments – like work or study – of carers.

Chronological Framework for Bharatiya Culture – Part 4
HinduPost Desk
In this series of articles, we are introducing the research 'On the Chronological Framework for Indian Culture' by Shri Subhash Kak, to readers old and new. (To read Part 3 of the series, click here.)
The Bharata War
Let us review the three main Bharatiya traditions regarding the time of the Bharata War.
1. The Puranic Evidence
To examine this tradition we depend on the collation of data by Pargiter. According to the Puranas, a total of 1,500 years (in certain texts 1,015, 1,050, or even 1,115 years) (Vayu 99.415; Matsya 73.36 etc) elapsed between the birth of King Pariksit and the accession of Mahapadma Nanda. The king lists for this period add up to 1,498 or 1,500 years in the most reliable records. It appears that the correct elapsed duration is 1,500 years as it tallies with the detailed count.
Based on his collation, Pargiter suggested an important emendation as follows:[19]
The Great Bear (the rksas or the Seven Sages or Saptarsi) was situated equally with regard to the lunar constellation Pusya while Pratipa was king. At the end of the Andhras, who will be in the 27th century afterwards, the cycle repeats itself. In the circle of the lunar constellations, wherein the Great Bear revolves, and which contains 27 constellations in its circumference, the Great Bear remains 100 years in (i.e. conjoined with) each in turn.
This implies a period of 2,700 years from a few generations before the War to the middle of the third century AD. Support for this reading comes from the following statement that has often been misinterpreted: The Saptarsi were in Magha at the time of Yudhisthira but had shifted to Purvasadha (ten naksatra on) at the time of Nanda and Satabhisaj (a further four naksatras) at the end of the reign of the Andhras (Vayu P. 99.423). This astronomical evidence would point to a gap of about 1,000 years between Pariksit and Nanda and another 400 years between Nanda and the end of the Andhras.
Considering that Pratipa was only seven generations before Pariksit, or about 150 years earlier, this gives a total interval of about one-half the interval of 2,700 years mentioned above. But we do know that the gap between Nanda and the end of the Andhras was more than 800 years. It is clear that this second reference counts two hundred years for each naksatra. This may have had something to do with the Jain tradition that counted a total of 54 naksatras and to the number stated one had to add a like number for a correct count.
As for the duration of reigns, Vayu Purana 99.416 speaks of a gap of 829 years between Nanda and the end of Andhras. Elsewhere this gap is given to be 836 years. Adding the dynastic lists with 100 years to the Nandas, 137 years to the Mauryas, 112 years to the Sungas, 45 years to the Kanvas, and 460 years to the Andhras one gets a total of 854 years.
The Puranas also assign one hundred years to Mahapadma Nanda and his eight sons. Furthermore, in Magadha 22 Barhadrathas, 5 Pradyotas and 10 Sisunagas are assigned for the period between the Bharata War and the inauguration of Mahapadma Nanda for a total of (967+138 +346) 1,451 years. The historian of astronomy P.C. Sengupta argues that to the Pradyotas one should add another 52 years, giving a total of 1,503 years. Over the same period are said to have ruled 30 Paurava kings and 29 Aiksvakus. It is also stated that when Mahapadma Nanda defeated the ksatriyas, there had reigned since the Bharata War 24 Aiksvakus, 27 Pancalas, 24 Kasis, 28 Haihayas, 32 Kalingas, and so on.
Assuming that the lists are complete and that the year assignments are wrong, various suggestions have been made for the duration of the average reign. On the other hand, using the statement that ten centennials (ten naksatras) had passed between the time of Pariksit and Nanda, one gets approximately 1,100 years upto Chandragupta, which yields circa 1420 BC for the War.[20]
Considering that Chandragupta became king about 324 BC the direct reference to the years elapsed (counting 1500 years of the Puranic statement and 100 years of the Nandas) leads to the date of is 1924 BC. But clearly the average reigns for the kings are too long, unless these lists are incomplete and the names are the most prominent ones, in which case there would have been other kings who ruled for very short intervals.
If the naksatra reckoning was for some reason actually being done per each two centuries as the gap of 829 years for four naksatras indicates, then there should be about 2,000 years between Pariksit and Nanda. This would take the Bharata battle to around the middle of the third millennium BC. We will show later that this takes us to 2449 BC.
2. The Kaliyuga Tradition
According to the famous astronomer Aryabhata (c. 500 AD) the Kaliyuga began in 3102 BC, which the Mahabharata says happened thirty-five years after the conclusion of the battle. This implies the date of 3137 BC for the War if we assume with the tradition that the Kaliyuga era began 35 years after the War. But there are other accounts, such as that of Kalhana in his Rajatarangini 1.51, where it is stated that 653 years of the Kaliyuga had passed when the Kurus and the Pandavas lived on the earth.
3. Varahamihira's Statement
Varahamihira (550 AD) claims that according to the earlier tradition of the astronomer Vrddha Garga, the Pandava king Yudhisthira was ruling 2,526 years before the commencement of the Saka era (Brhatsamhita 13.3). This amounts to 2449 BC for the War and 2414 BC for the beginning of the Kali era.
There is no reference to the Kaliyuga era in texts before Aryabhata, and so it has been claimed that this era was devised by Aryabhata or his contemporaries. The first inscriptional reference to this era is in the Aihole inscription of 633/634 C.E.
After analyzing the astronomical evidence, P.C. Sengupta spoke in favour of the date of 2449 BC. We will examine these conflicting accounts and see if they can be compared considering independent evidence. Here we will use the king lists of the epics and the Puranas, the Greek evidence, and contemporary archaeological insights.
Analysis of the Literary Evidence
The Puranic Evidence
We have seen that the Puranic data has been interpreted variously to yield dates for the Bharata War that range from the latest of 1424 BC to the earliest of late-fourth millennium BC.[21] Each of these will be separately examined.
1424 BC: This date is suggested by the mention in some Puranic manuscripts of the interval of 1,050 years between Pariksit and Nanda. This date is too late by about 500 years when compared to the totals of the reigns in the Puranas. On the other hand, it does bring the average reign period to the realm of possibility, as it reduces to about 27 years, assuming of course that the lists are complete.
The fact that a submerged temple at Dvaraka dating to the middle of the second millennium BC has been discovered has been taken as the evidence of the destruction of that city soon after the Bharata War. However, we do not know if this temple is the one that was lost to the sea soon after the Bharata War.
There is no archaeological evidence suggesting a flowering around 1500 BC. For this epoch for the War, one would expect evidence for the tremendous literary activity of the arrangement of the Vedas and the composition of the other texts. The second millennium BC is archaeologically the lesser age or the dark age.
We must reject this date if we consider the evidence related to the Sarasvati river, which was supposed to be a major river during the time of the Bharata War. Since this river dried up around 1900 BC, the figure of 1424 BC for the War is too late. The rapid decline around 1900 BC of cities, such as Kalibangan in the mid-course of the Sarasvati, makes it impossible for us to assume that the river could have somehow been called "major" when it ceased to flow all the way to the ocean.
1924 BC: This date is a result of the stated interval of 1,500 years between Pariksit and Nanda, and the count obtained by adding up the durations of the reigns.
This appears to be the original interval of the Puranas that became corrupted. Pargiter has suggested that the Puranas, as living bardic material, were transcribed into Sanskrit sometime between the reigns of the Sungas and the Guptas from the then form in Prakrit. This translation often used ambiguous constructions which is how the figure of 1,500 was read wrongly at some places.
According to Lalit Mohan Kar,[22] "If a comparative estimate is desired between the totals, as given by the different Puranas (vis., 1015, 1050 and 1115 years), and the sum total found by calculation of the details [1500 years], the scale must turn in favour of the latter, as a corruption, or at least a variation, depends on the mutation of two or three letters of the alphabet, as is evident from there being those different versions of the total period, while the details are more definite."
If the Bharata War story was a metaphor for the natural catastrophe that occurred in Bharat around 1900 BC, then this is the correct date. On the other hand, if the War did take place (although it was remembered in an embellished form), then the natural catastrophe may have contributed to it by causing a breakdown of the old order.
2449 BC: This is the date mentioned by Varahamihira. The Puranas may be interpreted to point to this date, and also this date may be correct if the genealogies represent only the chief kings.
It is indirectly supported by the archaeological evidence. Since a great deal of literary output of Vedic times was produced and arranged during the centuries after the War, one would expect that such efforts would have been supported by kings and that one would find a correlation with prosperity in the land. The archaeological evidence indicates that the Harappan era represents a period of great prosperity.
This date implies that the Harappan phase of the Sindhu-Sarasvati tradition is essentially post-Vedic. But this date also implies that the genealogical lists are hopelessly incomplete which is plausible if a great catastrophe, such as the drying up of the Sarasvati, caused the tradition to be interrupted.
3137 BC: The problem with this date is that the Puranic evidence does not support it. On the other hand, some scholars have suggested that the Sarasvati river went through two phases of diminution: first, around 3000 BC, after which the river ceased to flow all the way to the sea; second, 1900 BC, when due to further shrinkage the river was unable to support the water needs of the communities around it, ending the most prosperous phase of the Harappan era. Since the Rgveda describes the Sarasvati as sea-going so, going by this theory, the Rgveda must be prior to 3000 BC.
This date could be reconciled with the Puranic accounts only if we take it to define the last phase of the Rgveda and assume that the Bharata War was wrongly transferred to this earlier era when the last major assessment of ancient Bharatiya eras and history was done during the early Siddhantic period of Bharatiya astronomy in early centuries AD.

19. Pargiter (1922)
20. This date has been quite popular with scholars for some time but has much evidence going against it.
21. Another date of 950 BC was proposed to fit in with the theory of the Aryan invasions. But this date has nothing to commend it. For a critique see Kak (1994a).
22. Kar (1916). Also note that in Sengupta (1947; page 55) the date is given as 1921 BC.
