| | | | | 1983 - Events: Encyclopedia II - Death - Defining the moment of human death There is an asymmetry between life and death. While cells and organisms may die, they have never been observed to arise from non-living material (spontaneous generation), as found by Louis Pasteur in the late 19th century. In human affairs, we are normally concerned with the life and death of a person, not his or her parts.
Identifying the exact moment of death is important for a number of reasons. It allows for the correct time on death certificates, and helps ensure that a person's legal Will is executed only after he or she is trul ...

| | | | | | 1983 - Events: Encyclopedia II - David Irving - Revisionist In 1977, Irving released his most notorious book, Hitler’s War, the first of his two-part biography on Adolf Hitler. In it, Irving tried to describe the war from “Hitler’s point of view.” He painted a favorable picture of Hitler - as one would if describing it from Hitler's own view as Hitler saw himself to be supreme, so painting him in a negative light while doing it from his own point of view would be self sabotage - portraying him as a rational, intelligent politician, whose only goal was to increase Germany’s prosperity ...

| | | | | 1983 - Events: Encyclopedia II - Science fiction on television - Japanese television science fiction Known for meticulous use of miniatures and hundreds of sci-fi themed anime, Japan has a long history of producing science fiction series for TV. Only a few of these series are aired outside Japan and even when aired, they tend to be edited, rarely retaining their original storyline. While reasons like violence and sexual context are often presented, these edits are never a perfect solution and needlessly make story confusing. Yet non-anime sci-fi are still largely unknown to foreign audiences. An exception is Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers an ...

They failed to settle the issue when borders were drawn between Canada and Greenland in 1973. The border is established in the delimitation treaty about the Continental Shelf between Greenland and Canada, ratified by the United Nations on December 17, 1973, and in force since March 13, 1974. At that time, it was the longest shelf boundary treaty ever negotiated and may have been the first ever continental shelf ...

| | | | | 1983 - Events: Encyclopedia II - Middle-earth - Cosmology Main article: Ainulindalë
The supreme deity of Tolkien's universe is called Eru Ilúvatar. In the beginning, Ilúvatar created spirits named the Ainur and he taught them to make music. After the Ainur had become proficient in their skills, Ilúvatar commanded them to make a great music based on a theme of his own design. The most powerful Ainu, Melkor (later called Morgoth or "Dark Enemy" by the elves), Tolkien's equivalent of Satan, disrupted the theme, and in response Ilúvatar introduced new themes that enhanced the music b ...

| | | | | 1983 - Events: Encyclopedia II - Badfinger - Warner Brothers Merely six weeks after the Ass sessions were completed, Badfinger entered the studio to begin recording the material for their first Warner Brothers release, Badfinger. Neither Ass nor Badfinger were well-received by music critics, but owing to Badfinger's overwork, their lackluster quality can perhaps be understood in context. Badfinger and its two accompanying singles, "Love Is Easy" and "I Miss You," also did not reach chart positions. Badfinger did manage to consolidate some U.S. fan support in 1 ...
