alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | retrogastric | formate | engaud <tsp> retrogastric | whensomever | ovile | no related information |

alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | alberto teisaire | deathplace | buenos aires | he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr. |

alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | torturing | mesameboid | riper | no related information |

alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | suberizes | portrayer | aphrodisian <tsp> suberizes | hood | dasypodoid | no related information |

alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | alberto teisaire | party | justicialist party | he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr. |

alderney airport (iata: aci, icao: egja) is the only airport on the island of alderney, guernsey.built in 1935, alderney airport was the first airport in the channel islands.located on the blaye (1 nm (1.9 km; 1.2 mi) southwest of st anne), it is the closest channel island airport to the south coast of england and the coast of france.its facilities include a hangar, the airport fire station, and avgas refuelling.alderney airport is the base and on-record hub of air alderney, an airline that, as of 2022, has had problems commencing flights since 2017.the main runway, 08/26 is 880 m (2,887 ft) long and is mainly asphalt.the two secondary runways are both grass, 13/31 being 733 m (2,405 ft) long, with 03/21 having a length of 497 m (1,631 ft).the main runway is equipped with low-intensity lighting, with portable lighting being available on runway 13/31.the approach and runway lights were replaced in 2006.alderney is not a 24-hour airport; during winter, it is open monday to saturday from 0740 until 1830 and on sunday from 0840 until 1830.during summer, it is open monday - thursday from 0740 until 1830 and friday - sunday from 0740 until 1920.the airport also has its own non-directional beacon, with runways 08 and 26 utilizing this for instrument approaches during instrument meteorological conditions.both runways also have an approved gps (satellite) approach.this means that aircraft can land in lower visibility.alderney has self-manoeuvring stands.formal stands are not required due to the lack of space to accommodate nose-in-configured aircraft.routes to other destinations such as brighton, bournemouth, cherbourg, exeter, plymouth and jersey were abandoned over the years due to what blue islands, for example, claimed was 'lack of interest'.these routes had been operated on and off by aurigny and blue islands but also alderney air ferries, air sarnia, and air camelot during the 1970s and 1980s.the number of air routes to the island is at its lowest since the second world war except for a brief intermission during the 1967-8 period, when another airline (glos air, later to be aurigny air services) was found to fill the void (see below right).from september 2013, airline aurigny operated direct flights to jersey on a trial basis for a period of six weeks.in april 2015, it was announced that the states of alderney had asked airline citywing to operate a seasonal summer service between alderney and jersey using let l-410 aircraft.however this service has not materialised.in january 2017, a new airline air alderney was set up with the intention of commencing direct flights using britten-norman islander aircraft from alderney to destinations including jersey, cherbourg, lee-on–solent, and brighton.despite considerable progress being made in acquiring aircraft and obtaining an air operator's certificate, to date operations have not yet commenced due to complications regarding ground operations at the intended destination airports.this was to be used to pay for redevelopment of the terminal, which is over 50 years old.during the 2020 covid lockdown, while aircraft movements were low, airport staff refurbished the buildings, including repairs to a leaky flat roof on the 1960s terminal, and patch repaired the runway.the runway was previously resurfaced in 1999 with a surface material having a design life of between 12 and 15 years.a major patch and repair was undertaken on the eastern end of the runway in the autumn of 2016, to provide a short term improvement, but by 2018 it was reported that major work would soon be required for continued safe operations.in 2020 the runway was patched and repaired during covid lockdown by airport staff.on the 4th of july 2022 the states of alderney backed plans to extend the runway from 2,877ft (877m) to about 3,444ft (1,050m) so that larger aircraft such as the atr 72 plane can serve the island giving an additional 20,000 seats per year to help tourism. | alderney airport | 1st runway surfacetype | poaceae <tsp> alderney airport | runwaylength | 7330 | no related information |
alberto teisaire (20 may 1891 – 11 september 1963) was an argentine naval officer and vice president of argentina.he enrolled in the argentine naval academy in 1908 and, upon graduation in 1912, was accepted to the united states naval academy.there, he was commissioned as a submarine officer in the u.s. navy, during world war i.returning to argentina, he married duilia fayo lonne and was eventually named commander of the navy's flagship, the historic sarmiento frigate.teisaire later taught at the argentine naval academy and held numerous policy-making posts in that service, including ones in the naval requisitions department, the argentine naval delegations in the united states and europe, as head of the navy's river fleet (1938), and as assistant director of the important navy mechanics' school, in 1940, where he specialized in the instruction of navigation and hydrology.he became a reliable ally of the new war and labor minister, col. juan perón, whose support of organized labor and their platform had provoked growing rivalries within the military regime.teisaire became perón's most prominent ally in the government when, in july, he was named interior minister (at the time, overseeing law enforcement).he retired as rear admiral in 1945 to pursue a seat in the argentine senate, ahead of the february 1946 general elections.elected as senator on perón's labor party ticket, teisaire represented the city of buenos aires, a district normally leaning towards perón's chief opposition, the centrist ucr.he, however, did not enjoy support from the president's influential first lady, eva perón, who refused his request to take part in her 1947 'rainbow tour' because (in her words): 'i did not want that fruitcake creating a scandal in paris, when for that i already have paquito, who at least makes me laugh.'teisaire did well in his career in the senate, even so.he was named provisional president of the senate in 1947, and was reelected senator in 1951.he was elected to the constitutional assembly of 1949, which drafted a replacement of the 1853 constitution of argentina (reinstated in 1957).he was named head of the peronist party's superior council in 1952, effectively making him the third-most powerful member of the administration (after interior minister ángel borlenghi and perón, himself).teisaire introduced the lions club into argentina in 1954, and received the german order of merit.controversy surrounding the president's in-laws and political violence both by and against his peronist movement dominated headlines in the first half of 1953, and perón took the opportunity of upcoming legislative polls to test his popularity.the argentine constitution did not require it at the time, but a special election was announced to replace the late vice president, hortensio quijano, and perón nominated teisaire as his candidate for the post.the april 1954 elections increased the peronists' overwhelming majority in congress and elected teisaire vice president by a 30% margin of victory.following this success, perón began to dispense with his hitherto warm relations with the catholic church by banning a number of their organizations and periodicals, and with the unprecedented, december 22 legalization of divorce and prostitution.the vice president supported these moves, arguing that argentina's catholic majority were mostly non-practicing and, by extension, probably amenable to perón's push to limit their influence.the miscalculation proved fateful, however.the dispute damaged teisaire's influence among the largely conservative catholic navy commanders, who spitefully referred to the vice president as 'that freemason,' and soon destroyed military loyalty for the administration itself.a series of violent confrontations from june to september 1955 ended with perón's september 19 resignation and exile.his 'confession' was produced into a 12-minute propaganda film by the revolución libertadora, which ordered the footage shown in all movie theatres. | georgemas | brevi | zanonia <tsp> georgemas | unslave | anniversalily | no related information |
