# Anthony Giordano

Antonio Rico Giuseppe Giordano (June 24, 1914 – August 29, 1980) was the boss of the St. Louis crime family.

## Early life

Anthony Giordano, nicknamed "Tony G", was born June 24, 1914, in St. Louis, Missouri. He married Catherine P. Burns, and together they adopted a son named William Giordano.

## St. Louis crime family

Beginning in 1938, Giordano was arrested more than fifty times; his charges included carrying concealed weapons, robbery, holdups, income tax evasion, and counterfeiting tax stamps. In his early years, Giordano wore the wide-brimmed pearl gray hats, expensive suits, and rings favored by many mobsters of that time.
He was uncle to Matthew "Mike" Trupiano, who later became boss. Giordano was also a cousin to the Licavolis. He was an uncle to St. Louis crime family capo James Giammanco.
Giordano was known for his explosive temper. In 1965, he threatened a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent who was trying to ask him questions at his restaurant. On another occasion, in 1970, Giordano grabbed and physically threatened a priest who was trying to retrieve a stolen church vehicle at Giordano's towing company.

## Criminal career

In the early 1950s, Giordano made several trips to Anzio, Italy, to smuggle heroin into the United States. The US Federal Bureau of Narcotics observed him on three trips but did not gather enough evidence to indict him. In 1956, Giordano was convicted of income tax evasion for his vending machine company and was sentenced to four years in federal prison. When family boss John Vitale retired in 1960, Giordano took over the St. Louis crime family.
By the 1960s, Giordano had assumed a lower profile as a blue-collar worker. He and his wife lived in a conservative home in southwest St. Louis. Giordano was often seen in work clothes at his rental properties performing carpentry or plumbing chores. In February 1968, he was arrested as a suspected gambler during a citywide crackdown on gamblers. In 1972 he was convicted of illegally skimming gambling proceeds from the Aladdin Hotel & Casino in Paradise, Nevada, through the Emprise Corporation with Michael "Big Mike" Polizzi and Anthony "Tony Z" Zerilli, members of the Detroit Partnership.
In 1975, Giordano was convicted on charges of secretly trying to obtain ownership in the New Frontier Hotel and Casino in Paradise, Nevada, and was sent to prison. He was released in 1977. Giordano died on August 29, 1980, and was buried on September 2, 1980, in Calvary Cemetery, St. Louis City, Missouri. His wife Catherine survived him and died December 29, 2007.

In 2024, MacMahon opposed the development of 14,000 high density homes near the Cross River Rail Station in Woolloongabba, 20% of which would be set aside for affordable housing. MacMahon argued that 20% was too low, that there was inadequate infrastructure in the area, the process was "extremely undemocratic" and that developers would profit. She argued that building more housing does not necessarily reduce the cost of housing, stating that, "[e]ven in areas where you've gotten this big influx of supply it hasn't actually brought down the cost of housing."
In the 2024 Queensland state election, she lost her seat to Labor candidate Barbara O'Shea.

## Controversy

During the American Civil War, Judge Richard Bennett Carmichael was a presiding circuit court judge for Kent, Queen Anne, Caroline, and Talbot counties. In November 1861, federal officials arrested three men charged with interfering with the election process after they heckled Unionists at a rally. Opposed to the arbitrary arrests and abuse of civil liberties, Carmichael instructed grand juries to indict the persons who made or abetted such arrests. As a result, Secretary of State William Seward ordered Judge Carmichael's arrest. On May 27, 1862, Union Army General John Adams Dix in turn, issued orders for the arrest of Judge Carmichael, now suspected of being a southern sympathizer. More than 125 deputies and soldiers surrounded the courthouse, two them entered the courtroom and seized Carmichael. A man named John L. Bishop beat Carmichael over the head with his pistol until the judge was unconscious. Carmichael was dragged out of the courtroom and taken by steamer to Fort McHenry. Six months later he was released without ever being charged or tried for any crime.

## History

Originally founded in 1978 as The Woodwind, the store was established in a converted barbershop in South Bend, Indiana, and marketed its products via a hand-typed flyer that was mailed to 350 music teachers in the Midwest.
In the 1980s, The Woodwind expanded its product offering to brass instruments and became The Woodwind & The Brasswind. Outgrowing the original location, the company moved into a larger location with a retail store, a warehouse, and a dedicated call center to support its mail-order business.

In 2002, Woodwind & Brasswind acquired Music123.com, a New Jersey–based online retailer of musical instruments and equipment, and hired Music123.com founders Stephan and Richard Zapf. In 2004, Woodwind & Brasswind terminated the Zapf brothers, beginning a two-year legal dispute concerning the terms of the acquisition and the brothers' employment. The resulting verdict was unfavorable to Woodwind & Brasswind, causing the company to default on various loans and payable accounts. On November 21, 2006, Woodwind & Brasswind filed for bankruptcy protection.
On November 28, 2006, Guitar Center offered $37.1 million for the purchase of Woodwind & Brasswind.

# Nahal settlement

Nahal settlements (Hebrew: היאחזות נח"ל Heahzut Nahal) were Israeli settlements established by Israeli soldiers of Nahal in both Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories.
Supporting the growth and expansion of Israeli Jews was once the main focus of Nahal troops of the Israel Defense Forces and was primarily carried out through the Garin program. The goal of Nahal settlement was to provide a base of operations and resources for Israeli troops along the border.
This method of encouraging settlement was particularly effective in regions of Israel that were less desirable for human inhabitation (mainly the Negev, the Galilee, and the Aravah) between 1948 and 1967. After the 1967 Arab–Israeli War, Nahal settlements were established in the newly Israeli-occupied territories (the Jordanian-annexed West Bank and the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip, and the Syrian Golan Heights and the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula) in pursuit of similar goals.
The first such settlement was Nahal Oz, located in the northwestern Negev in Israel, near the Gaza–Israel border.
