These 160 aureus coins were found below the floor of a Roman house in Corbridge in 1911 CE.
They were stored in a bronze jug, their true value hidden by 2 bronze coins wedged in its neck.
When the jug was lifted out of the ground, the weight of the gold broke it, revealing the hoard. The Jug was lent by the English Heritage (Trustees of the Corbridge Excavation Fund).
From Corbridge, Northumberland, UK, circa 160 CE. (The British Museum, London)."

Control room of the Brookhaven 80-inch Liquid Hydrogen Bubble Chamber showing some of the many instruments and controls required to monitor and precisely regulate the operation of the large, complex components and systems. Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York. 1963
The bubble chamber is a vessel filled with superheated transparent liquid hydrogen used to detect high-energy charged particles moving through it. Particle accelerator facilities like the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron (AGS) used bubble chambers extensively in the past, however they have now mostly been supplanted by wire chambers, spark chambers, drift chambers, and silicon detectors. The most significant discovery made with Brookhaven’s 80-inch chamber came in the first few months of its operation: the detection of the Ω⁻ particle, whose existence had been predicted by theoretical physicist Murray Gell-Mann. This finding supported the first attempt by physicists to organize the increasingly long list of subatomic particles into an orderly pattern, similar to that used to arrange elements in the periodic table.

DOG TRAVOIS. Travois were hauled by dogs before horses started appearing on the Northern Plains by the late 1600s. Horses, named “elk dogs” or “big dogs” by some tribes, could carry more weight, thus allowing larger tipis for nomadic tribes. Horses also revolutionized hunting and warfare techniques.
The elderly woman, perhaps a Lakota Sioux named Red Thunder, reportedly held the staff of her husband, Little Bull, and posed in her best regalia.
A finely-crafted miniature buffalo was on the dog’s back. What appeared to be a dead skunk was in the travois. Dating from about 1910-20 or so, the photo by Frank Fiske of Fort Yates (ND) was found at the Buffalo Bill Museum.

The R-1 won the 1932 Thompson Trophy race, piloted by Jimmy Doolittle. He lapped all but one ship in the race, made easy turns and never had to come down and make a tight pylon turn. He also set a new F.A.I. world landplane speed record of 296 mph (476 km/h) in the Shell Speed Dash.
The distinction of a landplane record was noteworthy because, at that time, racing seaplanes outran landplanes, such as the then current speed record holder, a Supermarine S.6B which had averaged 407.5 mph (655.8 km/h) on September 1931 The Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster was a special-purpose racing aircraft made by Granville Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, Massachusetts at the now-abandoned Springfield Airport. Gee Bee stands for Granville Brothers.

It seems like it's seriously hard-core to go someplace that cold, but that probably means less competition.
