de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
An archive of highly-classified test reports has come to light revealing how the Nazis killed thousands of German citizens by bombing their own cities with V-2 rockets - for target practice.
The top-secret SS documents, much of which are written in coded German, are said to offer proof Adolf Hitler used his own towns and cities to test the scale of the devastation caused by the ballistic missiles.
The incredible 20-page archive is made up of reports which were only issued to 'Kommandostelle S', a unit so secret that hardly anything is known about it.

When the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were suddenly consumed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E., many of their buildings were so intimately preserved that modern archaeologists can even read the graffiti scribbled onto their ancient walls. See if any of these remind you of a twenty-first century bathroom.

Amazing Grace
de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
At Carnegie Hall, gospel singer Wintley Phipps delivers perhaps the most powerful rendition of Amazing Grace ever recorded. He says, "A lot of people don't realize that just about all Negro spirituals are written on the black notes of the piano. Probably the most famous on this slave scale was written by John Newton, who used to be the captain of a slave ship, and many believe he heard this melody that sounds very much like a West African sorrow chant. And it has a haunting, haunting plaintive quality to it that reaches past your arrogance, past your pride, and it speaks to that part of you that's in bondage. And we feel it. We feel it. It's just one of the most amazing melodies in all of human history." After sharing the noteworthy history of the song, Mr. Phipps delivers a stirring performance that brings the audience to its feet!

The candid camera of 'Lovely Linda' McCartney which captured the Beatles, Mick Jagger and Steve McQueen on film
Paul McCartney says that his wife Linda (pictured together centre), who died tragically of breast cancer at 56, was the most important photographer covering the sixties' rock and roll music scene. 'I can think of no one else whose work was so comprehensive and who captured the essence better than Linda,' writes Paul in a new edition of a portfolio of her work. Linda's passion for music inspired her to work independently and she amassed a major portfolio of photographs of rock musicians from the 1960s to the 1990s. Her collection includes candid shots of The Rolling Stones (top left) which marked the start of her commercial photography career. The couple bought a modest farmhouse together on the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland in 1982 (bottom left) after the breakup of the Beatles and she took several photos of her husband (top right, during a holiday in Jamaica in 1971) during their marriage. Bottom right is her shot of Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw in Jamaica in 1973.

Do

the creation of Earth?
The Sumerian creation tales not only tell about the creation of man, but also the creation of Earth. In the bible we have a consolidated version that says God created the heavens and Earth in 7 days. Well the Sumerian “7 tablets of creation” tell a much more detailed story about the creation of Earth. -

formulated, he was attacked, as David J. Meltzer pointed out in First Peoples
in a New World, “with a barrage of vicious reviews which were unprecedented in
