# Branko Pantelić

Branko Pantelić (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранко Пантелић; 6 September 1957 – 4 September 1992) was a lieutenant colonel in the Army of Republika Srpska.

## Biography

Branko Pantelić was born in Stubline near Obrenovac on 6 September 1957. He completed primary school in Stubline, and then frequented school in Belgrade, where he graduated in 1977. He continued his education in Belgrade, where he entered the Military Academy. He graduated in 1981 and got his first job in Niš, where he worked for six months, and then he was transferred to Knjaževac.
He married Valentina in 1988, when he received a military command in Zaječar. He had 2 daughters: Kristina and Maria. Between 1988 and 1989 he was reassigned to Pristina, where he worked in the "Marshal Tito" barracks, where he became a major. In 1989, he transferred to Prizren where he worked until 1991. In the same year, right before the start of the Bosnian War, he attended the Command and Staff Academy, which he did not manage to finish because he has to serve in Eastern Slavonia, which was home of most clashes throughout the beginning of the War in Croatia. After that, he went to Vukovar where he was the commander of the territorial defense. He remained in Vukovar until the beginning of the Bosnian War. First he went to Ugljevik, and then to Bijeljina with the task of reorganizing the formation of the SAO Semberija which, with him in command, achieved great results in the battles in a short time and saved a large number of lives, including both civilians and soldiers. Branko was famous for his most important action, the Smoluća Operation, where several thousand people were rescued from a hostile environment.
Shortly after Smoluća, Branko was killed in Rastošnica during an offensive on Priboj and Teočak on 4 September 1992, just two days before his birthday. After his death, the unit he was fighting for took the name "Garda Pantheri" as a sign of memory and respect for the fallen commander, and a stylized emblem with the image of a jumping panther was created. He was posthumously awarded the Star of Karađorđe with a silver sword for military merit in 1994. He was buried on September 9 in Stubline.
# Destination: Void

Destination: Void is a science fiction novel by American author Frank Herbert, the first of four novels in the Pandora Sequence series. It first appeared in Galaxy Magazine—illustrated by John Giunta—in August 1965, under the title Do I Wake or Dream?, but was published in book form as Destination: Void the following year. A revised edition, edited and updated by the author, was released in 1978. The book stands alone but the story is continued - and embellished with more details of the Moonbase project and the history of the clones - in Herbert's other novels The Jesus Incident, The Lazarus Effect and The Ascension Factor, co-authored by Bill Ransom.

## Plot summary

In the future, mankind has tried to develop artificial intelligence, succeeding only once, and then disastrously. A transmission from the project site on an island in the Puget Sound, "Rogue consciousness!", was followed by slaughter and destruction, culminating in the island vanishing from the face of the earth.
The current project is being run on the moon, and the book tells the story of the seventh attempt in a series of experiments to create an artificial consciousness. For each attempt the scientists raise a group of clones. These clones are kept isolated and raised to believe that they will be the crew of a spaceship that will colonize a planet in the Tau Ceti solar system (Tau Ceti has no habitable planet; its choice—should they manage to reach it—is part of the planned frustration of the crew). The spaceship will take hundreds of years to reach the system and the crew will spend most of their time in hibernation. Along with the crew of six, the ship carries thousands of other clones in hibernation, intended to populate the new colony and, if necessary, provide replacements for any crew members who die along the way.
The crew are just caretakers: the ship is controlled by a disembodied human brain, called "Organic Mental Core" or "OMC", that runs the complex operations of the vessel and keeps it moving in space. But the first two OMCs (Myrtle and Little Joe) become catatonic, while the third OMC goes insane and kills two of the umbilicus crew members. The crew are left with only one choice: to build an artificial consciousness that will enable the ship to continue. The crew knows that if they attempt to turn back they will be ordered to abort (self destruct).
The clones have been bred and carefully selected for psychological purposes to reinforce each other, as well as to provide various specialized skills that will give them the best chance of success. The crew includes a chaplain-psychiatrist, Raja Flattery, who knows their real purpose, and that the breakdown of the "OMC"s was planned. He is aware that six other ships have gone out before theirs, each one failing. He understands the nature of the test: create a high pressure environment in which brilliance may break through out of necessity, and create in the safety of the void what humans couldn't safely create on Earth. Space Ship Earthling number Seven ultimately succeeds, and the consequences of their success form the basis of the plot for the novels which follow.

# Holy Cross Church, Epperstone

Holy Cross Church is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England at Epperstone in the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.

## History

The church dates from the 13th century. It was restored in 1853 and 1879. It is built of Epperstone stone, with Mansfield stone for the windows and arcade. Services are held regularly for the parishioners. There is also a graveyard, with a number of headstones.
The end window of the aisle, the small buttress on the north wall and the doorway beside it all appear to belong to the early years of the 14th century. Later in the 14th century the arcade, tower and spire were built, the tower being inserted into the west end of the nave. The larger buttresses on the north side were also added, and the nave wall was heightened. The nave roof is 17th century work.
The church serves a joint parish with:
* St Laurence's Church, Gonalston

# Daylight Robbery on the Orient Express

"Daylight Robbery on the Orient Express" is the third episode of the sixth series of the British television comedy series The Goodies. The 53rd episode of the show overall, it was first broadcast at 9 pm on BBC2.
Written by The Goodies, with songs and music by Bill Oddie.

## Plot

The Goodies have started a bogus holiday service, which is engaged by a Detectives Club for its annual outing. The Goodies arrange a mystery train tour aboard the Orient Express but have no intention of taking the train anywhere. The train is boarded by members of the club dressed as famous detectives. At the station, Bill creates the illusion the train is moving by running along the platform with various props, such as a cow, a tree and deer antlers. Inside the train, Graeme narrates the 'journey', while Tim wears female attire to represent each country the train is supposedly going through. A goat supplies extra verisimilitude.
A real mystery starts when the train starts moving and the detectives begin to disappear. Graeme sniffs a bottle labelled 'Arsenic' and says: "Aha! The characteristic smell of bitter almonds!" Bill asks: "Isn't that cyanide?" to which Graeme replies: "Precisely. This arsenic has been poisoned!"
More detectives disappear or die, prompting Bill to reference the original version of the rhyme from Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None: "Ten little <ahem>s, sitting down to dine, someone cut their cufflinks off, now, there's only nine." He later resumes, commenting: "Nine little <ahem>s, sitting there in state, someone lit the touchpaper, now, there's only eight."
The train keeps moving, not always on the railway. It transpires a group of badly behaved mimes, originally disguised as the Goodies, have stolen the train as part of an attempt to win the legendary "Gold Bore" at the French "Le Boring" competition.
Using wheelchairs, the Goodies and the remaining detectives chase the mimes. The mimes are about to escape on a boat when the goat, also on wheels, butts one of them off a pier and into the boat, which sinks along with them.

## Cultural references

* "Murder on the Orient Express".
* Marcel Marceau — the Goodies, who are all excellent mimes, and who also do all of the dangerous stunts, themselves, look exactly like Marcel Marceau during the "Le Boring" segment.
