because of that , the fluoride - salt - cooled design could be smaller and cheaper than standard light - water - cooled reactors . it could also be safer , because most designs don ' t require electric pumps to circulate coolant , and , unlike water , the coolant can ' t boil away . ( in a typical light - water reactor , if the pumps break or the water is lost , the nuclear fuel could overheat and melt down as it did at fukushima daiichi in 2011 . ) and as part of a combined cycle , the reactor could provide constant baseload electricity as nuclear power plants do today while also preheating air for a natural gas turbine , providing fluctuating power to match the highs and lows of solar and wind generation . that means you could make more money off this kind of power plant , further lowering the cost per kilowatt hour of electricity generated .

the movie stars paul hogan , the australian tv personality who ` s been seen in the united states as a pitchman for australian tourism and beer . crocodile dundee outperformed the other box office leaders by far .
mr antoniotti said his side could not say no damage would have occurred if that had happened , but it may have been minor damage , if any .
illegal immigrants were disguised as aer lingus workers so they could be smuggled through dublin airport in a global people smuggling scam that netted gangsters up to €12m .
the thweak family , who was hosting a wedding reception of up to 70 people at the time , denied police access to the home and didn ' t report the child missing for 45 minutes , police said .
the movie develops along lines that we can more or less anticipate , and it ends on a note of high sentimentality . what ' s good about it are the performances , especially deakins , a warm and empathetic teenager ; savage , a plucky little kid who could play dennis the menace , and bedelia , a widow still mourning her husband .
this book is about a orphaned boy named michael who just wants to leave from the place he has called home . all he wants to be is free and he got just what he wanted when a loblolly boy came along and switched with him . michael soared through the air and was invisible . he was the loblolly boy now . at first michael enjoyed it , but soon finds that it can be a terrible thing . the new loblolly boy met a old captain by the name of captain bass . captain bass has a telescope that tells what can happen at any time . the loblolly boy looked through it and saw two girls and a strange man . michael met all of them and it was a true adventure for sure . i really enjoyed this book and it was a pretty quick read . the downside is it can be confusing at times . there is a few words that aren ' t very appropriate , but they aren ' t as bad as they could be . the book was very interesting with all of the twists and some of the action . it may take a while to read , but it is worth the time . the book is great because you can meet many different characters and the book takes you to many different places . i really recommend this book if you like adventure , fantasy , and mystery .

robert dhéry , director of the theatre ' folies - méricourt ' advertises his latest show entitled ' ah ! these beautiful women . police inspector , michel leboeuf , intrigued and alarmed by bold posters , decides to investigate .
the film includes some members of les branquignols , and some of their popular stage comedy and musical sketches . the troupe was credited in the movie ' s trailer . four of them were in the top cast :
dhéry also got a few small parts in films such as marcel carné ' s les enfants du paradis ( 1944 ) and claude autant - lara ' s sylvia and the ghost ( 1945 ) , in which jacques tati made his first appearance ( and disappearance ) in a feature .
in 1949 , dhéry and his wife , colette brosset , founded a joyous troupe of comics , musicians and singers called les branquignols (
the crazies
) , which , at various times , included louis de funès , jean lefebvre , jean carmet , julien carette , jacqueline maillan , pierre olaf and michel serrault . almost immediately , dhéry put the first show on film , in which he played a french cowboy .
premier film de robert dhery et de la célèbre équipe de l ' époque , celle des branquignols . l ' immense succès de leur revue de music - hall à paris nous vaut cette adaptation cinématographique , qui n ' est qu ' une suite de tableaux souvent longuets et ennuyeux . a sa sortie , le film fut un excellent succès commercial , drainant les foules attirées par certainement scènes ( légèrement ) dénudées . . . urltoken
le petit baigneur ( 1968 ) , a slapstick vehicle for a wildly animated de funès , and vos gueules , les mouettes ! ( shut up , seagulls ! , 1974 ) , with dhéry and brosset , were both mainly for home consumption . at the opéra comique in paris , dhéry proved an appropriate director for productions of offenbach ' s robinson crusoe and the grand duchess of gerolstein , and rossini ' s comte ory , with its men disguised as nuns , reminiscent of a sketch from one of dhéry ' s revues .

. the programme consists of lively comedy routines , feisty dance numbers and sensational beauty parades - something for everyone in fact . the show ' s title does however cause some concern and detective michel leboeuf must attend the rehearsals to ensure that the show does not contain anything too risqué . robert mistakes leboeuf for one of his comedy performers and offers him a prominent part in the revue . .
. whilst there is not much plot to speak off , mostly a succession of music hall acts of varying degrees of charm and sophistication , the film offers an enticing nostalgia trip , taking us back to a time when live entertainment was as popular as the cinema . and watching the film you wonder how this could possibly have been the case . protracted beauty parades , repetitive prat falls , hopelessly inept musicians - these were once the stock in trade of the french music hall but they are unlikely to be considered quality entertainment by today ' s standards .
dated though the film is , it does abound with a sense of fun and provides a lasting tribute to the music hall . the icing on the cake is the ensemble of great comedy performers that make up dhéry ' s celebrated company , including colette brosset , michel serrault , jacqueline maillan and louis de funès , all of whom would feature prominently in mainstream french cinema in the years to come , none more so than de funès . another comedy giant , francis blanche , is also roped in to lend his support . this was the first film in which michel serrault appeared - he has a non - speaking part as a retarded musician . whilst robert dhéry was most active in the theatre , he directed half a dozen other films for the cinema , which include
popular : trivia , history , america , television , tv , usa , geography , world , . . . more
west end theatre - goers who were around in the mid - 1950s are likely to remember a hit french revue called la plume de ma tante , which entertained audiences at the garrick theatre for three years , before being equally successful in new york . the show ' s creator , director and star was robert dhéry , who has died aged 83 . full of zany musical numbers and sketches , la plume de ma tante was france ' s answer to the crazy gang .
when it opened for a three - year run on broadway , louis kronenberger , the american drama critic , wrote :
it spoke a sort of compound - fractured english and was in all other aspects as french as it was funny . the question of speech hardly mattered anyhow , because it stressed the international comic language of leers and leaps , pratfalls and double takes . in contrast to the season ' s mechanical gag shows , that alone would call for thanks . but , with la plume , the quality of merci is not strained , the show shone by more than contrast . la plume had three great merits : madness , precision and charm .
perhaps the most memorable sketch was the one that ended the first act , in which four monks attempt , in a madly acrobatic manner , to pull four bell ropes . this kind of sketch came from dhéry ' s background in the circus and music hall .
born robert léon fourrey , in the small town of dhéry ( hence his adopted name ) , he joined a travelling circus at the age of 14 . after studying at the celebrated rené simon drama school in paris , he began performing in cabaret and music hall .
the following year came la plume de ma tante . the queen went to see it in london , and the cast won tony awards in new york . at a charity night to help the victims of the flood disaster in fréjus in 1959 , rex harrison , claudette colbert and laurence olivier took roles in the show .
after the dazzling long run , dhéry returned to the cinema with la belle américaine ( 1961 ) , in which he played a parisian factory worker who manages to buy a huge cadillac (
the beautiful american
of the title ) , at a bargain price , for the birthday of his wife ( brosset ) . however , it gets him into all sorts of trouble . in his films , of which this was the most widely seen , dhéry retained his madcap comic skills , but only in short bursts ; unlike the supercar ( seen in colour at the finale ) , dhéry was not built for long distances .
he produced , directed , wrote and starred in allez france ! ( 1964 ) , which followed the insane adventures of a french rugby supporter ( dhéry ) who crosses the channel for the england - france match , gets lost , finds himself at a dentist ' s , and in a policeman ' s uniform . most of the humour , which played on french and english misunderstandings , was as subtle as a rugby scrum and almost as funny . but dhéry , with support from his wife , diana dors and arthur mullard , was a likeable clown , who would always come up with surprising visual gags .
he is survived by colette brosset , his fellow artist and wife since 1942 .

ouch ! this movie is so bad ! what were they thinking ? it ' s strictly a showcase for beautiful women . in fact , its only originality is probably the amount of nudity for the time .
louis de funès ' talent is wasted . he ' s reduce to imitate a chicken . which is funny , but to carry it on for the entire film is absurd and stupid . oh ! and by the way . . . the musical numbers are awful . skip this one , by all mean .
