The NSK State is an elaborate, on-going, multi-decade-long
conceptual art construct developed in 1984, by Rrose Sélavy and
other collaborators as an “alternative” European nation. Laibach
was established as their “music wing,” and the idea explores the
complicated relationship that this country had with its German
occupiers during the Habsburg period.

And never stops at all.”

A former stonecutter and goldsmith, he devised an alloy of
lead, tin, and antimony that would melt at low temperature,
cast well, and yet be durable in use. This alloy was for a specific
purpose that he became famous for.
The use of antimony ensured that the alloy had the property of
expanding slightly upon setting. His knowledge of this alloy
probably grew out of his earlier experience with jewelry
production, which used a similar casting technique for the
production of ornaments.

This is the Drakaea glyptodon, an endemic orchid found in
Western Australia. It has a unique way of fertilising, using a
system of sexual deception/mimicry, that can succeed only

the column and sexual parts of the orchid.

another flower that does the same thing, except this

Perforated Initials on stamps
In Britain unused postage stamps could be
redeemed for cash at the post office. A perfin
stamp on a letter could be used only by the
owner of the perfin.Therefore, a stolen
perforated stamp would be of no value to the
unauthorized bearer.

The astronomer Johann Schroter, who named many of the
features on the Moon, named four features in a cluster thus:
Mt. Pico, Mt. Piton, Mt. ________ (all belonging to an Atlantic
archipelago), and the crater, Piazzi Smyth, after a prominent
nineteenth-century Scotsman. This was to honour the actions of
Smyth who had revolutionised astronomy through his actions.
What is the blank?
Why did he choose these names?

Tenerife
Charles Piazzi Smyth was the first person to realise
that the future of astronomy lay not in city-based
observatories but in the high desert peaks.
He carried telescopes to the tops of mountains in
Tenerife to test this idea.This is why the heights on
the Canaries are packed with observatories today.

or more Ashes series at home. One of them commented that
he had not read a seminal book by one of the others,
prompting the ECB to ensure that the two of them had a chat
for three hours. The first person in this list is, of course, the

Identify all three for full points, and name the work.

This practice was started by Bayer in the early part of the 20th
century. It was used to prevent the contents from shaking and
mixing up. If the contents were mixed up it could have bad
consequences and ill-effects.
The practice was stopped in the 1990s as it was no longer needed—
the composition and packaging of the content had largely changed
over time. Public demand brought it back. People were so used to
seeing it that they felt something was amiss if it weren’t used.
Experts however, recommend they be removed, so that moisture
can come in.
