Engraved with six running animals, this silver-gilt cup was discovered in North Yorkshire as part of the Vale of York Hoard #onthisday in 2007.
Made in northern France or Germany in the 9th century, the cup was buried with fine jewellery and over 600 coins. It was probably deposited by a wealthy Viking leader during the unrest that followed the conquest of Northumbria in AD 927 by the Anglo-Saxon king Athelstan.
The Vale of York Hoard provides valuable information about the cultural and commercial networks that existed in England in the 10th century – objects come from Afghanistan and Russia, and coins relate to Islam, Christianity, and the pre-Christian religion of the Vikings.

In one of the most widely watched efforts in corporate philanthropy in years, Google Inc. said it will dole out nearly $30 million in new grants and investments to nonprofits and a private business that are taking on do-good projects such as tapping solar power, preventing plagues and improving public services for the poor.
Google's push into philanthropy is being watched closely because of its size and its effort to erase the usual boundaries between the for-profit and nonprofit worlds.

Usage
The words hoard and horde have some similarities in meaning and are pronounced the same, so it is unsurprising that they are sometimes confused. A hoard is ‘a secret stock or store of something’, as in a hoard of treasure, while a horde is a disparaging word for ‘a large group of people’, as in hordes of fans descendedon the stage. Instances of hoard being used instead of horde are not uncommon: around a quarter of citations for hoard in the Oxford English Corpus are for the incorrect use.
