24 March: 83rd Day of the Year

Today is the 83rd day of the year. 10 things you didn't know about the number 83.


  1. 83 is the 23rd prime number.
  2. It is also the sum of three consecutive prime numbers (23 + 29 + 31).
  3. In some Jewish communities, when a person reaches the age of 83, they may celebrate a second bar mitzvah. The logic behind that is because the normal lifespan of a human being is threescore years and ten (70) so a person who lives beyond that age could be deemed to have started on a second lifetime, of which 83 would be their 13th year.
  4. 83 is the atomic number of bismuth (Bi).
  5. The number 83 is mentioned once in the Bible, in Exodus 7:7, which reads "Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh." (New International Version)
  6. Since the eighth letter of the alphabet is H and the third is C, some far right Christian groups have adopted 83 as a greeting, representing "Heil Christ."
  7. Yet high tree, hi Grey teeth, her tight eye and hit thee grey are all anagrams of eighty-three.
  8. In French, 83 is quatre-vingt-trois, in Italian, ottantatré, in Spanish ochenta y tres and in German dreiundachtzig.
  9. In the UK, the A83 road runs from Tarbet, on the western shore of Loch Lomond to Campbeltown at the southern end of the Kintyre peninsula. In the US, Interstate 83 runs between Baltimore, Maryland and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. European route E 83 begins in Polsko Kosovo, and ends in Botevgrad, Bulgaria.
  10. According to Angel expert Doreen Virtue, if you keep seeing the number 83 everywhere it means that you have spiritual masters who are accelerating your abundance and guiding your path.

Closing the Circle

A stable wormhole has been established between Earth and Infinitus. Power Blaster and his friends can finally go home.

Desi Troyes is still at large on Earth - Power Blaster has vowed to bring him to justice. His wedding to Shanna is under threat as the Desperadoes launch an attempt to rescue their leader. 
Someone from Power Blaster's past plays an unexpected and significant role in capturing Troyes.

The return home brings its own challenges. Not everyone can return to the life they left behind, and for some, there is unfinished business to be dealt with before they can start anew.

Ben Cole in particular cannot resume his old life as a surgeon because technology no longer works around him. He plans a new life in Classica, away from technology. Shanna hears there could be a way to reverse his condition and sets out to find it, putting herself in great danger. She doesn't know she is about to uncover the secret of Power Blaster's mysterious past.
