José Luis Aquino (1974 in Oaxaca – December 6, 2007) was a Mexican trumpetist in a band called Los Conde, based in the southern resort of Puerto Escondido. The band has recorded six albums, and members appeared in the early-1990s film Mafioso pero Gracioso, or "Funny Mobster." He had been in the band for fourteen years, was married and had two children.
Guitar player of the band Francisco Conde said of Aquino:
"He was a good person and never fought with anyone. He didn't smoke or do drugs."
Three days after being reported missing, he was found dead with his hand and feet bound with a nylon bag over his head on December 6, 2007 in San Pablo Etla, Oaxaca.
He had been hit repeatedly on the head, according to a spokesman for the Oaxaca state attorney general's office who prefered to remain anonymous. Aquino was the third popular Mexican musician to be murdered in a week. The deaths of Sergio Gómez and Zayda Peña, as well as Aquino, are all suspected to have organized crime links.
The deaths of Aquino and the other musicians caused concern in mainstream musicians.

Dunbar Herford (*4.6.1792 +1843) was an American Soldier and Captain of a wagon train of settlers who traveled from Nevada to Sutter's Fort in California.
Biography
Born as the first child of James and Wilma(?) Herford, he joined the
Militia forces of the United States in 1811.
He is said to have joined the War of 1812 and is believed to have been near
Fort Niagara , New York when it was attacked and captured by the Britons in 1813.
He had been caught but was released by the Britons in 1815.
After the war Herford went to West Point a military academy in the state of New York. Graduated in 1819 from West Point , Herford took part in the Indian Wars e.g. in the Black Hawk War in 1832 and in the Creek War of 1836 after which he was promoted to the rank of a Sergeant.
In 1834 Herford's right ear was injured and he hadn't been able to hear with it since this day. Desperately he moved to Texas. There, he firstly gained experience when he was hired as a scout during the Great Raid of 1840.
He was taught by an allied Indian whose name was not passed down.
Now Promoted to the rank of a Lieutenant he fought in the Battle of Plum Creek after which he started a quarrel with a Colonel what caused his exclusion from the army and with it the loss of his rank.
In this year he married his long-time girlfriend Elisabeth Tanner.
Gaining more experience in the following years he was hired to lead a wagon train from Nevada to Sutter's Fort , California in 1843.
He engaged the Native American Spiky Cactus as a scout for the whole journey and made the settler and former gold miner Ned Niles his assistant.
Also his wife Elisabeth joined the Party.
Unfortunately he wasn't able to perform his task due to a Heart Attack which killed him when the party which was joined by another four families by that time had reached Carson Sink. After his death the group split up into the Niles Party led by Ned Niles which followed the original route and the Glenoak Party which was led by Loomis Glenoak taking a seeming shortcut and tragically dieing on the way except from a few people who were able to reach Sutter's Fort.
The destination of the Glenoak Party and the happenings on their journey were discovered when the Diaries of Survivor Catherine Glenoak were found in 2006.
The Glenoak Party's Story is very similar to the tragedy of the Donner Party in 1846.

Daniel Rona (Hebrew: ×“× ×™×?ל ×¨×•× ×”) is a Latter-day Saint (LDS) tour guide and theologian, well known in the LDS community for being the only officially licensed Israeli tour guide with LDS membership. He is also a theological researcher who promotes asserted links between LDS and Jewish traditions. Rona regards himself as both LDS and Jewish.
Daniel Rona was born in 1941 in Palestine to two German-Jewish refugee parents. As a young child, his parents divorced, and he moved with his father to New York, where the two of them became members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Later, they both moved to Salt Lake City, where young Daniel grew up. As a young adult, Rona served an LDS mission in Germany, where he visited his mother Kitty and his stepfather Zvi Tohar.
After the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur war, Daniel Rona desired to make aliyah, and he, his wife Marilyn Minardi, and their children moved to Israel in 1974. At first, Daniel Rona was denied financial aid and recognition as a returning Jew because of his LDS affiliation, but he did not leave, and eventually this recognition was granted by the government and he became a citizen of Israel.
Seeing a growing demand for LDS tourism in Israel, Daniel Rona became a professional tour guide, organizing LDS tours of a religious nature in Israel and neighboring countries. He later founded the Ensign Foundation, a charitable non-profit organization for promoting multilateral education between Israel and other countries, as well as funding scientific research and archaeological digs.
Daniel Rona today lives in Jerusalem with his wife Marilyn and their five children. He manages the LDS tourism service Israel Revealed. It features tour packages to locations in the Holy Land and Meso-America.
Daniel also sells for Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., a multi-level marketing company.
