 War memorial: after World War I, some towns in France set up pacifist war memorials. Instead of commemorating the glorious dead, these memorials denounce war with figures of grieving widows and children rather than soldiers. Such memorials provoked anger among veterans and the military in general. The most famous one is located in Gentioux. Below the column which lists the name of the fallen, stands an orphan in bronze pointing to an inscription ‘Maudite soit la guerre’ (war be damned). Feelings ran so high that the memorial was not officially inaugurated until 1990 and soldiers at the nearby army camp were under orders to turn their heads when they walked past.

ULPower Aero Engines is a Belgian company which manufactures engines specifically designed for light aircraft/rotorcraft use.

History

In 2001 the founding partners of ULPower were asked to fix an issue with a Jabiru engine fitted into a helicopter. By examining the setup they decided to build a new engine from scratch instead, because the particular Jabiru engine simply was too small for the application. The new engine should have the following aims and objectives: FADEC, simple, robust, easy to maintain, low parts count, high power to weight ratio and low cost of ownership. The founding partners had years of experience in the professional automotive rally industry. This included engine design, development and production for the Dakar Rally and a proprietary ECU Based on the years of engine experience from Rally, the prototype helicopter engine and the proprietary ECU, they decided to form a company producing aero engines. A couple of more objectives were added: The engine should be direct drive, air cooled and be able to run on both AVGAS and MOGAS with ethanol.

Three of the four funding partners are Nicolas Josson of ROPA.BE and Lionel and Pascal D’Hondt who owns DR Tuning in Belgium. ROPA.BE is a metal turning and milling company making engine parts, while DR Tuning works in the motor racing arena.

After a few years of development and testing of several prototypes the first UL260i 72 kW (97 hp) engine was installed in an aircraft (a Lambert Mission 106). First flight tests were performed in December 2005. After proving the engine reliability on the ground and in the air, the project was merged into an official company structure. ULPower Aero Engines was officially formed in March 2006 to concentrate on the further design and manufacture of engines where light weight, power and reliability are important to the client. Series production commenced by the end of that year.

Over the first years, the UL260i has equipped several popular light aircraft, e.g. Fly Synthesis Storch, Zenair Zodiac CH601, Just Escapade, Dyn'Aéro MCR01, Hannuman X-Air. In 2017 Sonex Aircraft introduced their "B" models with slightly larger fuselage giving room for more engine options. Along that introduction the 4 cylinder ULPower engines became a standard factory supported alternative.

In 2009, ULPower launched new engine types: the UL260iS 80 kW (107 hp) and the UL350i/iS 93 kW (125 hp) where the stroke was increased from 74 mm to 100 mm. About the same time the Twister Aerobatics Team, flying the Silence Twister, was looking for a more powerful engine that also could run inverted, as a replacement for the original 80 hp Jabiru 2200. They already knew about the UL260i/iS and in cooperation the UL260iSA was developed. It has 80 kW (107 hp) and a fully inverted oil system.

For the French market specifically, two adapted versions were available: the UL260iF 74 kW (100 hp) based on the UL260iS and the UL350iF 90 kW (120 hp) based on the UL350iS, specifically for gyrocopter application. The UL350iF is no longer available.

The product line was expanded again in 2013, with a line of 6-cylinder engines in both 3900 cc and 5200 cc variants, each with an option for higher or lower compression requiring different minimum fuel grades. The 6 cylinder engines can power larger experimental and kit-planes (non-certified planes) that are typically powered by Lycoming and Lycoming clones in the O320-O360 range.

The ULPower engines are modular. They all have the same bore of 105.6 mm. The stroke is either 74 or 100 mm, which makes the 260 and 350 series of engines. Adding one extra set of cylinders makes the 390/520 family.

Engines
ULPower produces a range of direct drive air-cooled horizontally-opposed engines with multiport fuel-injection and FADEC.  All engines can run on avgas (100LL or UL91). All engines can run on automotive gasoline with up to 15% ethanol and with octane ratings as specified.

Saint-Dizier-la-Tour  (; Auvergnat: Sent Desíer la Tor) is a commune in the Creuse department in central France. It is particularly noted for its heritage: three feudal mottes, the documentation that has survived about its early past, and the archaeological finds of everyday military and domestic articles discovered when two of the mottes were excavated. There is also evidence of the medieval priory and various Roman remains.

Geography

The commune of St Dizier la Tour is in the department of the Creuse, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of central France. It lies close to the medieval town of Chénérailles and the 15th-century château de Villemonteix.

It is essentially rural, consisting of two former communes, La-Tour-St-Austrille (now known simply as “La Tour”) and St Dizier, which were united in 1848 because they were both considered too small to be viable. It is crossed by two Gallo-Roman roads and two large streams, the Goze and the Verreau. The Goze gave its name to the nearby town of Gouzon and the village of Gouzougnat.

On the banks of the Goze are the remains of numerous Roman settlements and villas which were equipped with their own large artificial pools or étangs. The village of La-Tour-St-Austrille grew up at the first crossing-point of the Goze, which starts a few kilometres away at La Faye and passes through a glacial valley. The stream was originally surrounded by marshland.

History

Roman influence

The Roman road that comes from Limoges via Ahun splits into two to the east of Villemonteix. One route goes to Bourges and passes Châtelus, Parsac and Toulx-St-Croix, which is the way that Saint Martial, the bishop who evangelised the Limousin, came from Bourges in the 4th century. The second road goes to Neris-les-Bains, south of Montluçon, via Gouzon, Chambon-sur-Voueize and Evaux-les-Bains.

These two important roads deliberately followed the dry land along the crest of the hills and there must have been spur roads linking them. As La Tour-St-Austrille is the first practical place where it was possible to cross the Goze, it is likely to have been the first southerly link. The connecting path went across the dam of a Roman lake near the remains of a Roman villa called Caceria.

10th century

By the mid-950s, more than a century after the death of Charlemagne, his far-reaching Carolingian Empire was a distant memory, split by internal divisions, power struggles and land seizures. A multitude of large and small warlords, who laid claim to the lands, started to build feudal mottes as a sign of their power but also as watchtowers monitoring channels of communication and places for extracting tolls from travellers.

The area in which the territory of La-Tour-St-Austrille stood was border country called La Marche – “the frontier” – which acted as a buffer zone for the Duchy of Aquitaine against the neighbouring powers. La Tour-St-Austrille itself was part of Aquitaine, and only slightly further north was the kingdom of France, with the frontier fluctuating between Boussac and Parsac.

The Brosse family of Chaillac in Indre, who owned the land at La-Tour-St-Austrille, probably erected a feudal motte called la Louveraude at La Tour some time before 957. It would have been topped by a watch-tower made from wood and wattle and daub, and flanked by a lower bailey or courtyard. It was this first tower which gave the former villa of Caceria its new name of “La Tour-St-Austrille”, being called after the saint who had been Bishop of Bourges from 612-624.

In March 957, Rothilde, the Brosse heiress and owner of La Tour-Saint-Austrille, and her then husband Archambaud de Comborn, sold the avouerie of La Tour-Saint-Austrille, located on the old villa Caceria, to Droctricus, seigneur of Parsac. An avouerie was an arrangement between a religious establishment and a lay seigneur, who undertook to represent its interests in secular affairs and sometimes defend it in combat.

Droctricus built and endowed a church on the site and in August 958 he gave it to Ebbles, bishop of Limoges and brother of the Duc d’Aquitaine. The deed was then signed by Raynald, Vicomte d’Aubusson, and Boson de Charroux, Comte de la Marche, who had emerged from the Limousin to carve out a territory in the Haute-Marche. Droctricus, hitherto vassal of the family of Brosse, thus became a vassal of Boson 1st. It was the first act of Boson as Comte de la Marche.

The sale of 957 may have been a precaution taken by Rothilde to get rid of property that she knew was going to be disputed and was too remote to be defended from her base at Chaillac, about 90 km away. A long war was waged between Boson's family and that of Geraud de Limoges and Rothilde de Brosse, and would not be completed until 974, when a diplomatic marriage was made between Boson’s son and Geraud’s daughter.

According to the 1520 terrier of La Tour-St-Austrille, it was probably around 975 that the large motte belonging to the Comte de la Marche was built in the village next to La Louveraude. The Comte de la Marche needed to stamp his authority on La Tour-St-Austrille, in case Droctricus or his heirs had maintained ties with their former overlords, the Brosse family, so the new motte was more imposing than that of La Louveraude.

In the same general period a pair of small mottes was also built in La-Tour-St-Austrille to act as a toll station for the Roman road.

11th century onwards

The Priory

In the first half of the 11th century the priory chapel of St Austrille was constructed in stone, probably replacing the original wooden church. There is evidence to suggest that the work was done by the same team of builders who built the churches at Parsac and Lupersat.

The capitals of the pillars of these three buildings evoke the theme of the Last Judgment, temptation, sin and punishment. They were intended to instil a fear of hell in the congregation. Other capitals from the chapel, now spread around the village and re-used, seem to have been re-employed in their turn from the ruins of the Roman villa.

In 1095, to stop the “eternal recriminations” between the monks of Déols near Chateauroux, and the Bishop of Limoges, over who owned the priory, the bishop handed it over to Déols. The political influence returned to the Berry. From 1200, powerful lords, all belonging to the family of the princes of Déols, took over the title and received the rents of the seigneurie of La Tour-Saint-Austrille.

Before 1212 the monks founded the churches of St Michel at La Tour and St Dizier & St Blaise at St Dizier. A Bull of Pope Innocent III, dated 1212, confirmed that the abbey possessed the priory chapel of St Austrille, the chapel (later church) of St Michel and the church of St Dizier.

In the 15th century everything fell into ruins after the onslaught of the Black Death and the massacres resulting from the Hundred Years' War. But the second half of the 15th century was also one of reconstruction after these disasters. The monks created a new pool and a corn mill, which still stand today; the road and toll barrier were moved to pass over the dam of the new pool and the old dam was destroyed. The small mottes then lost their role.

In 1573 the Lord Prior of la Tour appears to have been a very large landowner. The pool and mill belonged to him, together with a lot of land and several farms under the metayage system from which he received a percentage of the harvest.

The monks left this area before 1645. In that year the priory buildings still existed but they had no religious presence and the priest of La Tour was obliged to say Mass in the chapel of St Austrille every Friday. There was still a titular 'prior' who collected the feudal dues owed by the inhabitants, who paid their tithes to him until the Revolution in 1789.

In 1791, as a result of the revolutionary government’s decision to take over all religious property, an inventory was taken of the priory’s goods and possessions. In addition to the revenue from the tithe, this included “a house and other buildings situated in the centre of La Tour, of which there remain only ruins, a pool, a mill which has been closed and a domaine in the same place.” The revenue of the priory was valued at 3200 livres in the commune of La Tour, and 890 in the commune of St Dizier.

The current holder of the title of prior was Puy Segur, a layman. The goods were then appropriated by the State and sold as bien nationaux, or national assets.

The seigneurie

The seigneurie of La-Tour-St-Austrille, which belonged to the Brosse family in 957, was transferred between 1200 and 1609 among various members of the Preuilly branch of the family of Déols. In 1609, Claude de Puy, widow of Loys Chasteignier, seigneur of Abain, Chantemille and La-Tour-St-Austrille, sold it to Francois Merigot, seigneur of Sainte-Feyre, for 18,000 livres.
The priory and seigneurie exercised their rights over numerous neighbouring villages and parishes. The nearest was that of St Dizier, which encircled the commune of La Tour. St Dizier was a fiefdom, providing revenue and forced labour for both priory and seigneurie. Also, until the Revolution, the seigneurs of Villemonteix, Orgnat, Vidignat, Malleret, Haute-Faye, the religious communities of Les Ternes and  Bonlieu, and the vicairie of St Catherine d'Etansannes (among others), collected their dues from the two parishes.
The parish of St Dizier consisted of the village of St Dizier itself plus the hamlets of Montbrenon, Busserolles, Les Chaises, Ponty and Orgnat, and two other settlements which have now disappeared – Les Olliers and Gravayoux.
The seigneurie of La Tour belonged to the powerful and faraway family in Déols (~100 km), but in the actual vicinity there were 'junior' lords endowed with their own chateaux: le Mas de la Tour, and the chateaux of Orgnat and La Faye in the commune of St Dizier. These seigneurial domaines were established on the sites of the original Roman villas and were extensive. At the time of the Revolution the lands belonging to the abbeys were also sold off as national assets.

Feudal mottes

La-Tour-St-Austrille has retained traces of its exceptional early history and the smaller pair of its remaining three feudal mottes is very well preserved. Two of the mottes – the large motte and the more southerly of the two small mottes –  were subject of an archaeological dig in 1865, and have delivered up important finds, including weapons and tools. The towers which topped the mottes were burned, probably in the 14th century. Their sites were tidied and landscaped in 2012 and although on private land are now open to public viewing.
Evidence from the dig of 1865 would suggest that the tower on the large motte was an elaborate structure and that it was destroyed by fire, probably in the 14th century. Many items were found there connected with daily life in the Middle Ages, including agricultural and forestry tools, hand-operated grinding mills for grain, a mortar, whet-stones, spinning equipment, many pottery fragments, sheep shearing scissors, a drill, an awl and a toothed piece of metal to hold a cooking pot over a fire.

The small motte, which had also been burned down, contained more modest remains in much smaller numbers. But amongst them was a small hand-bell which is thought to have been used by a lookout to alert a toll collector, and may confirm the motte’s role as a watchtower and toll station.

Hellvik is a village in the municipality of Nesodden, Norway. It is situated on the eastern coast of Nesodden facing the Bunnefjorden. Hellvik lies north of Berger, east of Skoklefall and south of Ursvik. As Nesodden is a peninsula, the estimated time by car, heading into Oslo, is about 50 minutes.

Hellviktangen, a bit north of Hellvikstrand, is an old farm, turned into a café, surrounded by green fields and beaches - the café and the area surrounding it are considered to be one of the "pearls" of Eastern Norway. The village is connected by Hellvikskogveien, Hellvikveien and Hellvikstrand.

Geographically, Hellvik is quite steep, making construction planning an architectural challenge. Up to now, Hellvik has remained relatively untouched by urbanisation. Since the early 1990s however, Hellvik has seen the construction of several "modernistic" buildings built.

Cost–volume–profit (CVP), in managerial economics, is a form of cost accounting. It is a simplified model, useful for elementary instruction and for short-run decisions.

Overview
A critical part of CVP analysis is the point where total revenues equal total costs (both fixed and variable costs). At this break-even point, a company will experience no income or loss. This break-even point can be an initial examination that precedes a more detailed CVP analysis.

CVP analysis employs the same basic assumptions as in breakeven analysis. The assumptions underlying CVP analysis are:
 The behavior of both costs and revenues is linear throughout the relevant range of activity. (This assumption precludes the concept of volume discounts on either purchased materials or sales.)
 Costs can be classified accurately as either fixed or variable.
 Changes in activity are the only factors that affect costs.
 All units produced are sold (there is no ending finished goods inventory).
 When a company sells more than one type of product, the product mix (the ratio of each product to total sales) will remain constant.

The components of CVP analysis are:
 Level or volume of activity.
 Unit selling prices
 Variable cost per unit
 Total fixed costs
 Manpower Cost Direct and indirect

Assumptions
CVP assumes the following:
 Constant sales price;
 Constant variable cost per unit;
 Constant total fixed cost;
 Units sold equal units produced.
These are simplifying, largely linearizing assumptions, which are often implicitly assumed in elementary discussions of costs and profits. In more advanced treatments and practice, costs and revenue are nonlinear, and the analysis is more complicated, but the intuition afforded by linear CVP remains basic and useful.

One of the main methods of calculating CVP is profit–volume ratio, which is (contribution /sales)*100 = this gives us profit–volume ratio.

 Contribution stands for sales minus variable costs.
Therefore, it gives us the profit added per unit of variable costs.

Model

Basic graph
The assumptions of the CVP model yield the following linear equations for total costs and total revenue (sales):

These are linear because of the assumptions of constant costs and prices, and there is no distinction between units produced and units sold, as these are assumed to be equal. Note that when such a chart is drawn, the linear CVP model is assumed, often implicitly.

In symbols:

where
 TC = Total costs
 TFC = Total fixed costs
 V = Unit variable cost (variable cost per unit)
 X = Number of units
 TR = S = Total revenue = Sales
 P = (Unit) sales price
Profit is computed as TR-TC; it is a profit if positive, a loss if negative.

Break down
Costs and sales can be broken down, which provide further insight into operations.

One can decompose total costs as fixed costs plus variable costs:

Following a matching principle of matching a portion of sales against variable costs, one can decompose sales as contribution plus variable costs, where contribution is "what's left after deducting variable costs". One can think of contribution as "the marginal contribution of a unit to the profit", or "contribution towards offsetting fixed costs".

In symbols:

where
 C = Unit Contribution (Margin)

Subtracting variable costs from both costs and sales yields the simplified diagram and equation for profit and loss.

In symbols:

These diagrams can be related by a rather busy diagram, which demonstrates how if one subtracts variable costs, the sales and total costs lines shift down to become the contribution and fixed costs lines. Note that the profit and loss for any given number of unit sales is the same, and in particular the break-even point is the same, whether one computes by sales = total costs or as contribution = fixed costs. Mathematically, the contribution graph is obtained from the sales graph  by a shear, to be precise , where V are unit variable costs.

Applications
CVP simplifies the computation of breakeven in break-even analysis, and more generally allows simple computation of target income sales. It simplifies analysis of short run trade-offs in operational decisions.

Limitations
CVP is a short run, marginal analysis: it assumes that unit variable costs and unit revenues are constant, which is appropriate for small deviations from current production and sales, and assumes a neat division between fixed costs and variable costs, though in the long run all costs are variable. For longer-term analysis that considers the entire life-cycle of a product, one therefore often prefers activity-based costing or throughput accounting.

When we analyze CVP  is  where we demonstrate the point  at which in a firm  there will be no profit nor loss  means that  firm  works in  breakeven situation

1. Segregation of total costs into its fixed and variable components is always a daunting task to do.
2. Fixed costs are unlikely to stay constant as output increases beyond a certain range of activity.
3. The analysis is restricted to the relevant range specified and beyond that the results can become unreliable.
4. Aside from volume, other elements like inflation, efficiency, capacity and technology impact on costs
5. Impractical to assume sales mix remain constant since this depends on the changing demand levels.
6. The assumption of linear property of total cost and total revenue relies on the assumption that unit variable cost and selling price are always constant. In real life it is valid within relevant range or period and likely to change.

Liemar (unknown – 16 May 1101, in Bremen) was archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen from 1072 to 1101, and an important figure of the early Investiture Contest.

He was a supporter of Emperor Henry IV from 1073. In 1074 the papal legates Gerald of Ostia and Hubert of Palestrina put pressure on him to hold a local synod; he resisted, was suspended, and by 1075 his views against papal interference with bishops had hardened. In 1080, he attended the Synod of Brixen that condemned Pope Gregory VII. With Benno II of Osnabrück he commissioned the anti-papal polemic of Wido of Osnabrück around 1085. Liemar was one of many bishops who was irked by Gregory VII's encroachment of episcopal autonomy. In a letter to Bishop Hezilo of Hildesheim, Liemar complained that Gregory VII was ordering his bishops about 'as though they were his bailiffs'.
