Would not you like to achieve more in less time? Efficiency and productivity are qualities we want to acquire in all areas of our lives. In an increasingly fast world people have realized that time is their most important asset. Every day that passes is one day less. That is why it is important to question your daily activities to be able to determine which are the ones that really give it. But, of all the thousands of things that we do every day, we can differentiate those that are valuable for those that make us lose time? For that you will need to start thinking according to the principle of 80/20. What is the 80/20 principle? The Pareto principle, better known as the 80/20 principle, raises that 80% of results or benefits are obtained from 20% of our efforts.
Similarly, 80% of our activities generate us only 20% of the satisfactions in life. It is a principle widely recognized in the field of business. The Pareto diagram has many applications in one company. Among other functions, used to make quality controls to determine the most common source of defects in a product, the most frequent reason for claims on the part of the client, etc. However, its application in the personal life of each person is less known. Why should the 80/20 principle import you? Because it applies to all areas of your life and give you a greater understanding of what really is happening in the world that surrounds it.
If you unable to think according to this principle, it will be a more effective, productive, competitive, happy and satisfied person. Its business would also be more cost-effective, since they will require a smaller investment of time, money and effort to obtain best results. If you learn to think and operate according to this principle, you will soon determine which are the valuable activities of his life and which are which does not give it mostly.


We've got news from Mike Wells at Motorsports Canada that the SWM 500 line has been deemed street-legal by Transport Canada, and the machines will be sale for 2019.
Earlier this year, Motosports Canada said it was bringing SWM's RS500 R offroader and SM500 R supermoto to Canada. While not as well-known as other Euro enduros, or even other Italian offroad machines, SWM does have a loyal following, and some of its other machines are venturing into segments of the moto-market which are being gradually abandoned by the mainstream manufacturers (see also: 650-class adventure bikes).
Last winter, Motorsports Canada hoped to bring the RS500 R in for $9,499 Canadian, and the SM500 R for $9,999.
Both bikes are powered by a 501 cc liquid-cooled DOHC single cylinder engine, with steel frame, Brembo brakes and Kayaba suspension. The SM500 R also has switchable ABS, which is a definite bonus on a supermoto.
By the way, if you aren't familiar with SWM, here's the story in a nutshell: the Italian manufacturer sold bikes between 1971 and 1984, then went out of business. Chinese manufacturer Shineray revived the business in 2014, and now sells machines that are based around the made-in-Italy Husqvarna designs that KTM ditched when it took over the brand. A convoluted family history, for sure, but the machines certainly look interesting.

A lot has happened in the past couple of months. The gym that I used to train out of was shut down, and in doing so left lots of athletes and kids without a place to train.
A charity event was created to help raise money for our new club.
This was a service industry based charity, where anyone who works in the service industry was able to try out for the opportunity to train as a boxer to have a potential fight. Meanwhile raising a certain amount of funds to be eligible to compete on fight night.
I helped with coaching on Friday mornings and after my training in the evenings when I could. It was great to see the contenders transform, loose weight and start to look and move like boxers.
Contenders trained for over 3 months, and the public voted on who they wanted to see fight.
One of the contenders whose opponent was unable to compete, was very committed to not only raising funds for the club, but to her training. Because of her dedication and drive to compete, my coach put her as a potential match up with myself.
…and low and behold the public wanted to see it happen.
We were the first bout of a scheduled 14, and the venue was absolutely incredible.
It felt fantastic to dance under those lights, since my last fight was over a year ago. I boxed nicely and controlled the fight with fast, well-timed combinations.
Now I can't wait to get a real fight!
The charity event was a huge success and in September our club will be finding a new location to start anew. I also plan on racking up those long needed fights.

How Did the Donkey & Elephant Become Political Mascots?
BY Matt Soniak
iStock/mattjeacock
It all started with an insult. During Andrew Jackson's 1828 presidential campaign, his political opponents labeled him a "jackass." Stubborn as he was, Jackson co-opted the insult and began putting a donkey on his election posters. For the rest of his career and even into his retirement, newspapers and cartoonists continued to represent Jackson either as a stubborn ass or struggling to control one.
Almost 40 years later, the donkey was used to represent not just Jackson, but a larger group of Democrats. In 1870, Thomas Nast, the German-born political cartoonist who gave us the versions of Santa Claus and Uncle Sam we know today, drew a cartoon for Harper's Weekly titled "A Live Jackass Kicking a Dead Lion." The donkey was a stand-in for "Copperhead Democrats" (the Northern Democrats that opposed the Civil War), and the lion represented Edwin M. Stanton, Abraham Lincoln's recently deceased Secretary of War. Nast thought of the Copperheads as anti-Union and believed the Democratic press's treatment of Stanton was disrespectful.
In 1874, the New York Herald loudly opposed the possibility of Ulysses S. Grant running for a third presidential term and cried Caesarism. Nast, a life-long Republican who'd become frustrated with his party, thought Republicans might fall for the scare tactic. He drew another cartoon for Harper's, again using a donkey to represent Democrats and adding an animal to symbolize Republicans.
The cartoon, titled "The Third Term Panic," showed a donkey (representing the Herald and the Democratic press) wearing a lion's skin (labeled "Caesarism") in order to frighten a group of animals. Among those animals are an elephant (labeled "Republican Vote" and awkwardly fleeing towards a pit labeled "Inflation" and "Chaos") and a fox (labeled "Democrats" and backing away from the pit that the elephant is about to fall into).
The Republicans lost control of the House of Representatives that November, and Nast bemoaned the defeat in another cartoon. It showed an elephant caught in a trap set by a donkey, and the lumbering confused behemoth of the Republican Party undone by the Herald's scare tactics.
Nast continued to use the elephant and the donkey in his cartoons, eventually having them represent the whole of his party and the opposition. In March of 1877, after Republican Rutherford B. Hayes' controversial victory, a Nast cartoon showed an injured elephant ("Republican Party") kneeling at a tombstone labeled "Democratic Party." An 1879 cartoon (pictured) showed a politician grabbing a donkey labeled "Democratic Party" by the tail to keep it from falling into a pit of "financial chaos." The Republican elephant ("the sluggish animal") is lying on and blocking the road to an election victory.
By 1880, other cartoonists had picked up the symbols and spread them across the country. Over a century later, their continued use in cartoons, party literature, campaign buttons and all sorts of political merchandise and propaganda has cemented the association between the parties and their animals. The Republicans have even adopted the elephant as their official symbol (the Democrats have yet to do the same for the poor donkey).
45 Amazing Facts About All 44 American Presidents
BY Corinne Cummings
iStock.com/traveler1116
In March 1789, the U.S. Constitution was officially enacted and the office of the President of the United States was established. The following month, General George Washington was sworn in as the first Commander-in-Chief and since then, 44 men have held the job (one in two non-consecutive terms, which is why we have 45 presidencies total). Below is an interesting tidbit about each person who has held the highest office in the land.
1. George Washington
Hulton Archive, Getty Images
Not only was George Washington known as the father of the country, he was also known as the "Father of the American Foxhound" for creating a unique breed of foxhound he called "Virginia Hounds."
2. John Adams
John Adams signed a congressional act creating the United States Marine Band in 1798, which is now the oldest active professional musical organization in the U.S. Known as the President's Own, they played at the first ever New Year's celebration at the president's house and, later, at Thomas Jefferson's inauguration.
3. Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson offered to sell his personal library when the Library of Congress was burned by the British during the War of 1812. He sold them 6487 books from his own collection, the largest in America at the time.
4. James Madison
National Archive, Newsmakers
James and Dolley Madison were crazy for ice cream. They had an ice house built on the grounds of their Montpelier estate so that they could enjoy ice cream and cold drinks all summer long, and they were known to serve bowls of oyster ice cream at official government functions.
5. James Monroe
James Monroe and his wife, Elizabeth, attended Napoleon's coronation at Notre Dame Cathedral in 1804 while he was serving as the American ambassador in the U.K.
6. John Quincy Adams
Henry Guttmann, Hulton Archive/Getty Images
John Quincy Adams enjoyed skinny-dipping. He was known to take 5 a.m. plunges in the Potomac River as part of his morning exercise routine.
7. Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson despised banks and made it his mission to defund the Second Bank of the United States (he succeeded). So, it seems particularly ironic that his portrait has graced the $20 since 1929.
8. Martin Van Buren
Born in New York in 1782, Martin Van Buren was the first president to have been born after the American Revolution, technically making him the first American-born president. (The seven before him were all born in the American colonies.)
9. William Henry Harrison
Harrison kept a goat as his pet, but never bothered to name him. (He called him Billy goat.) He also had a beloved cow he called Sukey.
10. John Tyler
John Tyler loved music and had considered becoming a concert violinist before deciding to follow his father's advice and study law. Often, he would play music for guests at the White House and in his later years he devoted himself to perfecting his skill at violin and fiddle. In 2004, when he was sculpted in bronze as part of a presidents' memorial in South Dakota, the artists included his violin in his statue.
11. James K. Polk
When he was 17, James Polk needed surgery to have some kidney stones removed. He had some brandy to numb the pain but was awake for the entire procedure—anesthesia wouldn't be invented for another 30-some years.
12. Zachary Taylor
Zachary Taylor was a war hero whose beloved horse, Old Whitey, was nearly as popular as he was—numerous times while the steed was grazing on the White House lawn, visitors would approach him to pluck a hair from his tail for a souvenir.
13. Millard Fillmore
A voracious reader, Millard Fillmore was known to keep a dictionary on him in order to improve his vocabulary.
14. Franklin Pierce
Franklin Pierce had a number of nicknames, including "Handsome Frank," but likely the most embarrassing was "Fainting Frank." As a brigadier general in the Mexican-American war, he sustained a groin and knee injury during a battle in 1847 when he was thrown against the pommel of his horse. He only briefly passed out from the pain, but the nickname stuck around for life.
15. James Buchanan
Though James Buchanan was engaged once in his late twenties, she broke it off. He became the only president who was a lifelong bachelor.
16. Abraham Lincoln
iStock.com/ilbusca
Before Abraham Lincoln found his "look" with his famous beard, he was known for his fairly unkempt appearance. One reporter referred to his "thatch of wild republican hair" with his "irregular flocks of thick hair carelessly brushed" across his face.
17. Andrew Johnson
In his day, Andrew Johnson was known as the best dressed president. Growing up, his mother sent him to apprentice with a tailor, and he frequently made his own clothes and suits.
18. Ulysses S. Grant
Spencer Arnold, Getty Images
In an attempt to unite the North and South, Ulysses S. Grant made Christmas a national holiday in 1870.
19. Rutherford B. Hayes
The first Siamese cat to arrive in America was sent as a gift to Hayes and his wife, Lucy, by the American consul in Bangkok. Siam the cat landed at the White House in 1879 after traveling by ship to Hong Kong then San Francisco, and then by train to Washington, D.C.
20. James A. Garfield
As a child, James Garfield dreamed of being a sailor. He read a number of nautical novels which fueled his imagination, but a teenage job towing barges was as close to a seafaring life as he saw.
21. Chester A. Arthur
Chester A. Arthur oversaw a massive renovation of the White House and its private chambers. Arthur hired Louis C. Tiffany—Tiffany and Co.'s first design director and the man most known for his work with stained glass—to do all of the redesign. To help cover some of the costs, Arthur had 24 wagon-loads of old furniture, drapes, and other household items (some of which dated back to the Adams administration) sold at auction.
22. Grover Cleveland
Hulton Archive/Getty Images
He was born Stephen Grover Cleveland, but dropped Stephen before he entered into politics. He was affectionately called "Uncle Jumbo" by his younger relatives because he was nearly 6 feet tall and weighed about 270 pounds.
23. Benjamin Harrison
Benjamin Harrison had a tight-knit family and loved to amuse and dote on his grandchildren. He put up the first recorded White House Christmas tree in 1889, and was known to put on the Santa suit for entertainment.
Grover Cleveland was also the first (and only) U.S. President to serve non-consecutive terms, so he makes this list twice. Between terms, he moved back to New York City, worked at a law firm, and his wife gave birth to their famous first daughter, Baby Ruth.
25. William McKinley
National Archive, Newsmakers/Getty
William McKinley had a double yellow-headed Amazon parrot named Washington Post who served in an official capacity as a White House greeter. The bird also knew the song "Yankee Doodle Dandy"—the president would whistle the first few notes, and then Washington Post would finish the rest.
26. Theodore Roosevelt
Hulton Archive, Getty
For his official White House portrait, Theodore Roosevelt chose the famed French portraiture artist Theobald Chartran, who had earlier done a portrait of the First Lady Edith Roosevelt. "It was difficult to get the president to sit still," The New York Times reported Chartran said before the painting was unveiled and displayed in France in 1903. "I never had a more restless or more charming sitter." Roosevelt, however, hated the painting, and after hiding it in a dark hall of the White House for years, he eventually burned it.
27. William Howard Taft
Topical Press Agency, Getty Images
In 1910, William Taft became the first president to attend baseball's opening day and throw the ceremonial first pitch, a tradition that has been honored by nearly every president since (sans Carter and Trump, thus far).
28. Woodrow Wilson
Tony Essex/Hulton Archive/Getty Images
Woodrow Wilson is among many U.S. Presidents known for their love of golf. Wilson enjoyed daily rounds to stay in shape and relax, particularly during World War I, when he even used black golf balls so he could play through the winter.
29. Warren G. Harding

Warren G. Harding loved playing poker and held weekly games at the White House. Rumor has it he even bet, and lost, an entire set of official White House china.
30. Calvin Coolidge
General Photographic Agency/Getty Images
Though three presidents (Adams, Jefferson, and Monroe) have died on the 4th of July, Calvin Coolidge is the only president to have been born on that date.
31. Herbert Hoover
After he left office, Herbert Hoover wrote a number of books, including The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson, the first biography of a president written by another president.
32. Franklin D. Roosevelt

When Franklin married Eleanor Roosevelt in 1905, they chose the date March 17 because President Theodore Roosevelt would be in New York City for the St. Patrick's Day parade, and he'd agreed to walk Eleanor, his niece, down the aisle. FDR and TR were fifth cousins.
33. Harry S. Truman

Though Harry Truman met his wife, Bess, in the fifth grade and they were high school sweethearts, they didn't marry until they were in their mid-thirties.
34. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Even though Ike's military career spanned both world wars and made him one of only nine men who have ever attained the rank of five-star general, he never once saw active combat.
35. John F. Kennedy
Keystone/Getty Images
JFK lived off of his family's considerable trusts, so he donated all of his congressional and presidential salaries to charities like the United Negro College Fund and Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America.
36. Lyndon B. Johnson
Lyndon Johnson had two beagles named Him and Her. The dogs became national celebrities after being frequently photographed with the president; they were heavily featured in a 1964 Life magazine profile that stated, "Not many dogs have been privileged to shoo birds off the White House lawn, get underfoot at a Cabinet meeting, or mingle with dignitaries at a state ball."
37. Richard Nixon
National Archive/Newsmakers
Nixon's mother encouraged him to play piano at an early age and he went on to learn violin, clarinet, saxophone, and accordion. In 1961, he even performed a song he wrote on The Jack Paar Program.
38. Gerald Ford

Ford attended the University of Michigan, where he was a star football player. The team won national titles in both 1932 and '33 (Ford's sophomore and junior years). After graduation, he turned down offers to play with both the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers; instead, he took a coaching job at Yale University because he also wanted to attend their law school.
39. Jimmy Carter
Jimmy Carter was known for his frugality, and he went so far as to sell the presidential yacht while he was in office. The USS Sequoia had been in use since the Hoover administration, but by 1977, it cost $800,000 a year in upkeep and staffing. Carter sold it for $236,000.
40. Ronald Reagan
Warner Bros./Courtesy of Getty Images
Ronald Reagan's last acting role was also his first go as a villain. The film, 1964's The Killers, was based on an Ernest Hemingway story and was intended to be one of the first made-for-television movies. The network, however deemed it too violent for TV, so it was released in theaters instead.
41. George H.W. Bush

George and his wife, Barbara, met as teenagers in 1941 and were married just over two years later. They died within months of each other in 2018, and their 73-year marriage was the longest of any first couple. (The second-longest presidential marriage was that of John and Abigail Adams at 54 years. Adams was the only other president whose son also held the job.)
42. Bill Clinton

In 1993—two years before he became the governor of Texas—George W. Bush ran the Houston marathon, finishing with a time of 3:44:52. He is the only president to have ever run a marathon.
44. Barack Obama

Barack Obama's love of basketball was well-documented during his presidency, but according to one of his high school teammates, he earned the nickname "Barry O'Bomber" because of all the tough shots he was known to take (and miss).
45. Donald Trump
Peter Kramer/Getty Images
Of the many commercial products that Donald Trump has put his name on, the Tour de Trump—a bike race meant to be the American answer to the Tour de France—might be the oddest. It was called that for its first two years (1989-'90) before being renamed the Tour de DuPont for its final six years as an event.

Who Was the "Gerry" of Gerrymandering?
BY Mark Mancini
Elbridge Gerry // Public Domain
This week the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it has no authority to decide cases that challenge partisan gerrymandering—a practice in which political parties draw Congressional districts to increase votes in their favor. Gerrymandering shifts power away from voters to toward the parties, and the Supreme Court's decision is likely to increase the momentum.
But how, exactly, do elected officials pick and choose their voters? Their main tactic is as simple as it is unfair. By redrawing the borders of electoral districts, members of a given political party can cram the opposition's supporters into as few precincts as possible—thus grabbing a disproportionate amount of power.
The tactic gets its name after a man who helped make the Bill of Rights happen, a one-time vice president, and the only signer of the Declaration of Independence who's buried in Washington, D.C.
"A Man of Immense Worth"
Elbridge Gerry was born on July 17, 1744. He was a native of Marblehead, Massachusetts, and both his parents were linked to the merchant business. Gerry took up the trade in 1762 and became an exporter of cod (a profitable fish upon which countless fortunes have been built).
At age 28, he won a seat on the colony's general court, where he'd come to share Samuel Adams's revolutionary rhetoric. In 1776, Gerry joined the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Throughout his tenure there, Gerry demanded pay raises for patriot troops, earning him the nickname "soldier's friend." The merchant's integrity was widely admired, even by John Adams (who was notoriously hard to impress). "[He] is a man of immense worth," wrote the future president. "If every man here was a Gerry, the liberties of America would be safe against the gates of Earth and Hell."
In 1787, with the war over, Gerry took part in the Constitutional Convention. The importance of his presence cannot be understated. After all, it was he who moved to include a Bill of Rights—an idea that his colleagues shot down. Five days after the proposal, the newly completed Constitution was ready to be signed. Since a Bill of Rights was nowhere to be found, Gerry—along with just two other delegates who made it to the end of the convention—withheld his signature.
A subsequent letter to the Massachusetts State Legislature explained this choice. "It was painful for me, on a subject of such national importance, to differ from the respectable members who signed the Constitution; but conceiving, as I did, that the liberties of America were not secured by the system, it was my duty to oppose it," Gerry stated. He may have lost that battle, but he ultimately won the war. Thanks in part to dissenters like him, a 10-amendment Bill of Rights was formally adopted on December 15, 1791.
Had he retired from politics right then and there, Elbridge Gerry might have gone down in history as the "Father of the Bill of Rights." Instead, he's remembered first and foremost for another, less admirable claim to fame.
Redrawing his legacy
Massachusetts made Gerry its eighth governor in 1810. By then, America had turned into a nation divided. Two rival parties now split the electorate: Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republicans and the late Alexander Hamilton's Federalists.
Gerry belonged to the former group, which backed his successful re-election campaign in 1811. At the time, Democratic-Republicans represented the Massachusetts legislature's majority party. This gave them enough votes to pull off a rather devious scheme that secured big wins in the state Senate one year later.
The plan was brilliant in its straightforwardness. Early in 1812, Democratic-Republican legislators laid out new districts which shoehorned most Federalist Party supporters into a handful of precincts.
Behind closed doors, Governor Gerry denounced this plot, calling it "highly disagreeable." Unfortunately, that didn't stop him from signing the proposed new districts into law anyway. The result was a monstrously slanted election season. Overall, Federalist candidates for the state Senate earned 1602 more votes than their Jeffersonian opponents did. Yet, because of these new precincts, the Democratic-Republican Party nabbed 29 seats to the Federalist's 11.
The new state electoral map looked positively absurd. Thanks to partisan manipulation, districts now came in all manner of irregular shapes. Particularly infamous was one such division in Essex County. To the staff of The Weekly Messenger, a prominent Federalist newspaper, this squiggly precinct looked like a mythical salamander. Thus, the name "Gerrymander" was born—and it stuck.
The Federalist surge meant that Gerry was ousted from office, but Gerry's career wasn't quite over yet. On the contrary, it saw a swift rebound when James Madison chose him to become his second vice president the following year. But like Madison's previous VP, Gerry didn't last long. Death took him while he was still in office on November 23, 1814.
Those interested may find his grave in the capital city of the nation he helped create. Nestled inside Washington's Congressional Cemetery is Elbridge Gerry's tomb. Above it sits the first monument ever funded in full by the federal government, where visitors can read Gerry's personal creed: "It is the duty of every man, though he may have but one day to live, to devote that day to the good of his country."

1. Never go to bed with your car's fuel tank empty. In case of an emergency, what if your good neighbour isn't at home?
2. Never employ a nanny whose home you don't know. Some of them could be child traffickers in disguise.
3. Never go to bed with no airtime in your phone. Most emergencies happen at night.
4. Do not stand or park your car under a high tension cable especially when it is windy.
5. Do not attempt to start your generator with your phone torchlight as the source of light. This could cause an explosion.
6. Do not answer telephone calls in the kitchen when your gas cylinder is turned on.
7. Try to crawl under the smoke if the building is engulfed by smoke as walking could cause suffocation. Smoke rises.
8. If by mistake you swallow a fish bone, lick salt and pull your ears while you cough out the fish bone.
9. If you are in any traffic or 'go- slow' and you must remain in your car while it is not in motion, always apply your central lock.
10. Do not leave your children alone in the car with your dog or any pet.
11. Never enter a lift alone if you must.
12. Never leave your opened drink to take a call elsewhere. It could be a plan to distract you. Many have been poisoned through this.
13. Never rush out to turn off the tap on hearing its sound in the night. It could be a trick by robbers to lure you outside. Remember, you didn't leave it running before retiring to bed, why go out at night?
Be security conscious. Share this with friends and loved ones if you find it important and educative.

This paper examines information warfare between attackers, who try to gain access to information systems, or "targets", and defenders protecting those targets. we develop a game theoretic model in which both defenders and attackers act strategically and their actions are interdependent. our analysis focuses on the role of the information flows and shows that, ceteris paribus, rational attackers spend more effort on less protected targets. as a result, the defenders' security measures are more effective when attackers are informed about the targets' characteristics. Correctly anticipating future attackers' responses, targets with better levels of protection have stronger incentives to signal their security characteristics than poorly protected targets. Overall, defenders' ability to signal their security characteristics improves their welfare. our results have important implications for security practices and policies.

Histoire de la ville et du port de Cesenatico, dans la province de Forlì-Cesena, dans la région d'Émilie-Romagne en Italie.

Préhistoire
De nombreuses traces sur le passé de ce territoire ont été retrouvées qui permettent de reconstruire l'histoire qui remonte jusqu'à une période très ancienne.

Le territoire autour de Cesenatico devait se présenter, il y a environ  ans, comme une lagune étendue où des zones saumâtres s'alternaient avec des zones marécageuses d'eau douce. Des traces d'une présence humaine dans la zone de Montaletto, à peu de kilomètres de l'actuel Cesenatico, très probablement un campement de bergers de l'âge du bronze remontant environ à  -  ans  Des restes d'un grand foyer et des poteries étrusques ont été découverts entre les hameaux de Bagnarola et Macerone.

Traces plus consistantes, d'œuvres humaines, à partir du , surtout celles appartenant à des repères (briques, tombe, ustensiles) qui confirment la présence romaine dans l'actuelle localité de Borella qui, sous le nom de Ad Novas, fut probablement l'ancêtre de Cesenatico.

Situation pré-romaine
La Romagne d'alors était terre de conquête. De là, partaient et vivaient de nombreuses populations qui donnaient vie à des trafics et échanges commerciaux. Les villes maritimes de Adria, Ancône (Italie), Spina et Ravenne voient la présence de populations provenant de la Grande-Grèce, qui commerçaient céramiques et produits de la mer. Les Ombriens par contre s'établirent plus en amont et donnèrent vie à Sassina qui deviendra ensuite Sarsina. Les Romains sont présents surtout au centre sud et colonisèrent les bords plus méridionaux de la Romagne après la première politique d'expansion entamée à la naissance de Rome. Les Gaulois par contre, peuple de cultivateurs à la recherche de nouvelles terres, occupèrent la zone septentrionale en faisant alliance avec les Ombriens, Étrusques pour tenter de contenir l'expansion des Romains.

Époque romaine
Cesenatico dans ce contexte est seulement le très petit centre hors des routes commerciales principales et non "protégé" par Cesena qui doit encore être fondé.
Au  la romanisation de la Romagne subit un fort accroissement grâce aux apports de Rome dans la première guerre punique qui voit la consolidation des frontières méridionales en permettant aux Romains de se concentrer au nord, et spécialement dans cette zone où les Gallo-Étrusques se concentrent en masse et constituent un sérieux problème tant pour la sûreté que pour l'expansion militaire. Les Romains, de fait, fondent Ariminum (Rimini) pour tenir en respect les populations ennemies de la haute Romagne et jettent la première pierre pour la réorganisation territoriale de cette zone. La bataille de Sentinum de 295  représente le tremplin de lancement pour la conquête romaine. Sarsina est annexée à Rome, pendant que  colons sont transférés dans l'avant-poste d'Ariminum, aplanissent des collines, bonifient des vastes aires agricoles, abattent des bois (peut-être une partie de l'ancienne forêt Litana), construisent des routes et une d'elles représentera la frontière entre Rome et les Gaulois. Les historiens ne savent pas préciser si la susdite ligne de frontière peut être identifiée avec la via Popilia (actuelle route SS 16 Adriatique) ou si c'était une route plus ancienne qui en remontant la côte, entrait dans les terres dans la zone de l'actuel Pisignano (hameau de Cervia). L'hypothèse plus crédible est qu'il y avait deux routes et qu'elles étaient parcourues selon leur état, ou selon les conditions climatiques.

Ad Novas

 La première indication relative à « Ad Novas » se trouve sur la fameuse Tabula Peutingeriana dont la datation est située entre le  et le . Sur cette table, entre les étapes de Sabis et Rubico, le long de la via Popilia, de Ravenne à Rimini, 'Ad Novas ' coïncide à peu près avec le centre de Cesenatico. Les indices retrouvés ne donnent pas d'indication précise sur les dates, sauf qu'il est établi que Ad Novas Tabernas Cossuttianas était un lieu de changement de chevaux, un lieu de restauration et de repos ; et donc posté sur une grande voie de communication.
Les Romains prirent le contrôle de la zone après avoir balayé la population gauloise et étrusque. Zone qui resta en paix jusqu'au , où l'empire commença à être bouleversé par les invasions barbares.
 Procope de Césarée, historien byzantin du , dans ses récits de la guerre entre l'empereur Justinien et les Goths, le général Narsès (522-53) descendant vers Ravenne pour aider le roi Totila contre les troupes byzantines, connu de grandes difficultés pour avancer dans cette zone très marécageuse située entre Ravenne et Rimini. Zone occupée par quelques habitations sur des terres surélevées du rivage adriatique.
 Une autre indication est fournie par l'historien Andrea Agnello (Ravenne,801-850) dans son livre Liber pontificalis ecclesiae ravennatis, livre pontifical de l'Église de Ravenne (basé sur le Liber Pontificalis) qui relate les polémiques entre l'Église de Ravenne et l'Église Pontificale, ainsi que les relevés sur la topographie et les principaux monuments de la province.

Décadence
L'aristocratie romaine exerce encore la fonction administrative de l'Empire d'occident mais militairement et politiquement ce sont les barbares qui font la loi jusqu'à ce qu'une épidémie de peste donne le coup de grâce à ce qui reste de l'empire romain en provoquant le recul démographique, civil, culturel, économique de toute l'Europe et l'Italie. Les villes se dépeuplent, les petits centres ainsi que les Villas deviennent des amas de ruines. Nous avons la situation d'une Italie retombée  ans en arrière avec des groupes disparates d'individus qui pratiquent une agriculture de subsistance. L'Évêque de Ravenne, Martino, en 818 environ écrivit « là où un temps était une ville maintenant détruite  » : Ad Novas .

Domaine de l'Église
Pépin le Bref (715-768) en accord avec l'Église, occupe l'Italie septentrionale en mettant les terres romagnoles au service de l'Église de Ravenne et de fait en sanctionnant le pouvoir temporel pontifical qui durera jusqu'au siècle passé.

Ravenne, capitale de l'Exarchat, connaît la période de plus grande splendeur sous les Byzantins et les terres autour du futur Cesenatico tombent sous sa domination.
Avec l'an 1000 on ferme finalement la longue parenthèse médiévale et on assiste à une nouvelle période de développement. La population augmente, les phases commerciales aussi, les Communes font leur entrée dans l'histoire jetant les bases de la Renaissance (Rinascimento) ; ceux-ci sont des temps dans lesquels, au travers d'accords, de batailles et de mariages, les Communes cherchent à augmenter leurs possessions territoriales. Il en fut ainsi pour Cesena, qui dans la recherche d'un port le trouva en celui de Cervia, mais de fait sous la domination de Ravenne il ne fut pas possible de l'arracher, on pensa alors descendre au sud et, ainsi, fut trouvé une zone postée juste à la frontière avec les possessions de Rimini.

Les enjeux
L'extinction des Comtes de Bertinoro, pousse Cesena à plus d'autonomie politique vis-à-vis de ses deux voisines Ravenne et Rimini. Au début du , l'expansion de la commune de Cesena impose de disposer d'une ouverture directe sur la mer et de ne plus dépendre des ports de ses deux voisines, par où transite le fret maritime.
De plus, le besoin vital en sel pousse Cesena à assiéger Cervia et annexer les salines en 1201. Le conflit de frontière qui s'ensuivit, malgré l'intervention en 1205 de Uberto Visconte podestat de Bologne, dura tout le siècle. En 1288, un accord de frontière est ébauché entre Cesena et Rimini, puis en 1288 entre Cesena et Ravenne ; pour se conclure définitivement en 1302.

Porto Cesenatico
En 1302, le 5 septembre, les habitants de Cesenatico commencèrent les travaux de construction d'une forteresse sur le rivage de la mer. Rimini chercha à l'en empêcher et le 22 octobre de la même année, Frédéric III de Montefeltro, Uguccione della Faggiuola et Bernardino da Polenta attaquèrent Cesena, en pillant les zones agricoles et, une fois arrivé à la mer, assiégèrent et détruisirent la forteresse. Les projets du port de Cesena furent renvoyés et reprirent en 1314 sous le gouvernement de Ostansio Capitano et Guido Novello da Polenta, pour se terminer le 10 août de la même année. Ainsi naît le port de Cesena en ajoutant le suffixe – « ittico » pour devenir « Cesenatico ».

La construction de ce port est une vive concurrence pour Cervia qui, profitant de la présence de la Papauté à Avignon (1305-1377), conclut un accord avec Venise (à qui elle fournissait le sel) stipulant de ne livrer des marchandises à Cesena que par le port de Cervia, tant qu'un accord ne soit conclu entre les deux cités. Ce n'est que le 11 avril 1320, qu'une bulle du pape Jean XXII confirme la libre construction du port et de la forteresse de Cesenatico.

La population
En 1371, la population de Cesenatico ne compte qu'environ 70 habitants et Cesena , à cause de la dépression démographique due à l'épidémie de peste, la famine et aux nombreux tremblements de terre.

Ère des grandes familles
Le futur du port ne fut pas radieux, au moins dans les premières années. Les batailles intestines entre les familles nobles indifférentes à la papauté (résidente en France à cette époque) et l'Église qui faisait de tout pour maintenir le pouvoir, engendrèrent en Romagne des représailles et des opérations militaires contre le port de Cesena pour "punir" la ville rebelle. Dans un premier temps, le port et la forteresse furent détruits en 1328 par Francesco I Ordelaffi (alias "Cecco"), réédifié dans la même année, mais le port fut rouvert seulement 6 ans plus tard lorsqu'à Cesena régna Francesco II Ordelaffi.

Mais en 1356, le Cardinal Albornoz fut envoyé avec comme tâche primaire de ramener (non seulement formellement) les terres de Romagne sous la domination de l'Église. Albornoz avec Gianciotto Malatesta conquiert le port de Cesenatico en détruisant les jetées et en le rendant inutilisable. En 1382 le port reprit ses fonctions primaires, mais en 1415, capitulera de nouveau sous les coups de Braccio da Montone. Pour comprendre combien fut stratégique le port de Cesenatico nous devons tenir compte qui la ville voisine de Cervia fit de grosses pressions sur les Vénitiens pour obtenir l'exclusivité du commerce du sel, préoccupés de l'encombrante présence de cette ville rivale, où on note la présence de magasins affectés au stockage de marchandises propriété de commerçants toscans (marque que le port était connu même à de grandes distances). En effet, Cervia étant passé sous domination vénitienne, il devint nécessaire pour Cesena d'implanter ses propres salines sur le territoire de Cesenatico.

Le port connaît une période de relative prospérité pendant le règne des Malatesti, mais les problèmes ne tardent guère à arriver, d'abord la nouvelle destruction en 1415, ensuite le progressif ensablement qui ne permettait pas aux bateaux d'entrer dans le port. Ce dernier problème fut finalement résolu avec la construction de 2 quais qui limitèrent l'ensablement du canal d'entrée au port. L'entretien et le désensablement du port et des salines rendirent nécessaire la déviation du torrent Pisciatello qui, en 1496, rejoignit les eaux du torrent Fiumicino à Gatteo.

César Borgia
Pour mettre fin aux rébellions et aux rivalités entre les grandes familles, ainsi qu'aux attaques venues de l'étranger, le pape Alexandre VI (1492-1503) charge son fils César Borgia de ramener l'ordre en Romagne et, avec l'aide des troupes de Louis XII, occupe Imola, Forlì, puis le 31 juillet 1500 la cité de Cesena.
Avec la venue au pouvoir de César Borgia (alias Valentino) la Romagne entra dans une phase de progressive restructuration.

En août 1501, il charge son architecte de dessiner un canal navigable de Porto Cesenatico jusqu'à Cesena (14 km). Aucune trace ou dessin n'atteste que cet architecte soit Léonard de Vinci, par contre celui-ci, qui séjournait à Rimini, Imola, Faenza, et à Cesena, fut mis à contribution pour s'occuper du projet d'amélioration du port de Cesenatico. Ainsi, le 6 septembre 1502, Léonard dessine une perspective de la cité depuis le haut de la forteresse et le schéma de construction de deux môles, dont celui de droite un peu plus long, la création de fossés de rétention et d'un barrage mobile pour la régulation du flux d'eau dans le canal. Bien que ces idées fussent déjà émises pendant la période des Malatesti, l'apport du génie de Léonard consolida la faisabilité de l'œuvre. Mais la réalisation resta, pour l'instant, sur le papier à cause de l'épuisement rapide de la fortune du Valentino et la perte des faveurs papales après la mort du Pape et l'élection du nouveau pape Jules II hostile aux Borgia.

Profitant de la difficile situation de l'État Pontifical et des déboires du Valentino, Venise put étendre sa domination sur la Romagne et occuper Porto Cesenatico et sa forteresse le 13 novembre 1503. Possessions, qui après un accord, furent rendues à l'État pontifical le 12 mars 1505.

Le
Le 17 mars 1505, le gouverneur pontifical entre dans Cesenatico, dont le port est dévasté, pour récupérer et rendre les biens, les terres et les salines au Pape Jules II.
Le Pape, récupère ses terres de Romagne après la défaite des Vénitiens par les troupes de l'empereur Maximilien d'Autriche et Louis XII. À partir de 1507, il alloue régulièrement des sommes destinées à l'entretien et au développement du port-canal. Entretien repris par les Papes successifs jusqu'à la fin du siècle.

Activités du port
 Le transport du sel fourni par les salines de Cesenatico, dont la bonification a permis d'en augmenter le rendement.
 Le transport du soufre issu des mines de la région de Cesena, de Montfeltro et des mines de Monte Iottone (hameau de Mercato Saraceno). L'expédition qui avait lieu dans diverses régions italiennes et aussi vers des pays étrangers (Pays-Bas, Espagne, Angleterre, France) montre l'importance de l'activité commerciale du port, qui durera pendant les siècles suivants.

La tour prétorienne

La tour montra particulièrement son importance en ce siècle où les incursions barbares sont de plus en plus fréquentes sur les cotes de l'Adriatique, depuis que l'Empire Turc ait établi sa souveraineté. Ceci, surtout sur les côtes de Dalmatie où les Uscoques, peuple d'origine slave, razziaient les côtes de Romagne et des Marches et finalement les Berbères ou bien les Turcs qui faisaient des prises d'esclaves chrétiens à déporter en Afrique du Nord. À la suite de ces événements, à la fin du , des nombreuses tours de guet furent construites.

Le
En ce siècle les Communes de Romagne sont entièrement sous la domination des fonctionnaires ecclésiastiques commandés par un cardinal légat du pape résidant à Bologne et le président de la Romagne résidant à Ravenne. À cette ambiance de féodalité s'ajoute l'influence espagnole sur le pontificat, qui durera jusqu'à l'arrivée de Napoléon.

L'agglomération urbaine de porto Cesenatico (avec les hameaux) en ce début de siècle compte  habitants pour  à Cesena, dont l'approvisionnement en poisson est assuré par la flottille de pêche du port.

Piraterie
L'opposition entre l'ambitieux pape Urbain VIII qui revendique le Duché de Castro et les Vénitiens, alliés aux Farnèse, pousse la Sérénissime à envoyer ses galères, armées de canons, contre les ports romagnols. Ainsi, le 8 juin 1643, Porto Cesenatico est bombardé et saccagé par la marine vénitienne.

Puis les incursions barbaresques se déroulent tout au long du siècle, principalement dans les années 1620, 1659, 1672, 1683. Aux problèmes militaires viennent s'ajouter ceux à caractère sanitaire, en évitant le débarquement de passagers pouvant diffuser des épidémies, provenant avant tout de Dalmatie.

La marine
La flottille de pêche compte, d'après le récit du saccage du port par les Vénitiens, une dizaine de barques qui sont en concurrence directe avec celle Chiozza, Palestrina et autres ports de Vénétie. Pour le transport de marchandises (céréales, sel, soufre), Cesenatico aligne plus d'une vingtaine d'embarcation qui assurent l'approvisionnement des Marches et de la région de Ferrare.

Tentative d'autonomie
Cette activité favorise le développement du commerce et de la production des salines, dont les revenus vont principalement à Cesena, alors que Cesenatico souffre de moyens pour entretenir les salines et les infrastructures du port. L'économie de la cité est soutenue par l'activité de la pêche et de son commerce, à laquelle il faut ajouter l'exportation du soufre, du grain, du vin et l'importation du bois et des pierres d'Istrie.

Cette situation pousse Cesenatico à demander, au pouvoir central de Rome, son autonomie vis-à-vis de Cesena, pour la première fois en 1652. Demande énergiquement repoussée par le Cardinal Cybo, légat de Romagne.

Requête exprimée de nouveau en 1660 avec pour griefs principaux : Cesenatico n'a pas de médecin à sa disposition, n'a pas de maître d'école. Les produits de grande consommation, comme le pain, le vin et l'huile sont vendus à un prix plus élevé qu'à Cesena ; le commerce local, essentiellement celui du poisson, est soumis à des monopoles tyranniques, tolérés par Cesena ; les fours appartiennent à Cesena ; le port est en ruine ainsi que les salines, le prix des droits fiscaux est trop lourd ; l'année passée Cesenatico a été saccagé par « l'armée Vénète » et les habitants ont reçu beaucoup plus de secours de Cervia et de Rimini que de Cesena même .

Réaction négative et immédiate de Cesena et malgré une nouvelle requête en 1685, le siècle se termine sans satisfaire la légitime demande d'autonomie.

L'essor au
La première moitié du siècle est marquée par le passage désastreux de diverses armées étrangères ; comme en 1718 où  cavaliers autrichiens passent à Cesenatico, puis  soldats l'année suivante. En 1720 un régiment allemand campe dans la cité et, encore en 1744 des soldats espagnols, autrichiens et de diverses nationalités, traversent le pays en pillant et saccageant la région de Rimini, Cesenatico et Cesena.

Vers l'autonomie
Après 1748, l'Italie est dans une période de paix ; mais les mouvements réformateurs qui se développent en Europe touchent également l'État pontifical qui se trouve de nouveau confronté aux demandes vis-à-vis de Cesena par Cesenatico qui commence à devenir une cité pleine de commerces et la nouvelle poussée de richesses pousse la population à revendiquer sa pleine autonomie.

Les requêtes de 1717, 1761 et 1761 furent bloquées par l'Église qui cherchait à maintenir l'ordre. Les Brefs et Bulles des différents papes qui se succèdent et se contredisent ; n'arrangent en rien les problèmes des deux cités.

Un témoignage très favorable au port de Cesenatico fut donné en 1787 par l'ingénieur royal Pietro Ferroni et le dessinateur Antonio Fedi, tous deux chargés d'établir le meilleur itinéraire des confins vénitiens de Goro au mont Conero au sud d'Ancône. Sur les treize ports considérés, le long du parcours, pour leur aspect économique, commercial, physique et paysager ; Cesenatico est « le port supérieur à tous y compris Rimini,… un riche marché,… la meilleure escale », du territoire ecclésiastique.

Le 2 juillet 1796, les troupes napoléoniennes entrent à Cesena ; ce qui relance la controverse entre la ville et la population de Porto Cesenatico qui veulent leur autonomie. Celle-ci est rendue possible dès 1798, certaines administrations deviennent indépendantes de Cesena. Mais après les déboires de Napoléon à la bataille d'Aboukir ; l'Italie est envahie par les troupes austro-russes, qui sont à Cesena le 31 mai 1799. Cesena retrouve ses droits sur Cesenatico le 15 février 1800.

Les salines
Les salines de Porto Cesenatico sont de plus en plus sujettes à l'ensablement avec une production toujours plus réduite. Les eaux de pluie retenues présentent un danger sanitaire pour la population et empêchent d'évacuation naturelle des bancs de sable qui se forment dans la port-canal. En 1773, la commune de Cesena achète un peu plus de 6 ha de terre à Cervia pour construire deux douzaines de salines.
Un canal détourne les eaux du torrent Pisciatello pour amener ses alluvions dans les anciennes salines sud, qui seront complètement asséchées en 1783, suivi en 1796 par celles du nord.

Le , l'autonomie
Le 14 juin 1800, Napoléon, proclamé Premier Consul, bat les Autrichiens à Marengo et le 16 juillet les troupes françaises entrent à Cesena et restaurent l'organisation municipale de la période républicaine.
Le 28 août 1800, la marine anglaise bombarde et saccage le port de Cesenatico.
Le 2 mai 1809, nouveau saccage du port par les Anglais.
Le 18 juin 1815, la tragique défaite napoléonienne à Waterloo met fin à l'intervention de la France dans les affaires italiennes, et Cesena supplie le Pape Pie VII de retirer Cesenatico du canton de Cervia et du district de Ravenne. À ce point, même l'État Pontifical croit impossible de revenir comme avant, en laissant pressentir la conclusion naturelle des choses, déclare la cité « commune autonome ».
 Le 21 décembre 1827, un motu proprio de Léon XII déclare la complète autonomie de Cesenatico, qui avec la localité de Sala compte  habitants. Mais les nombreuses disputes sur les frontières avec Cesena prirent fin seulement le 3 juin 1842.

Depuis cet instant, Cesenatico vivra la phase d'indépendance italienne, le 2 août 1849 Garibaldi, fuyant les Autrichiens, entre en ville sous les acclamations de la population, en devenant le "mythe fondateur" de la future identité citadine. Avec le plébiscite de Mars 1860, Cesenatico, finalement indépendant de l'Église, vient annexé au Royaume de Savoie, constituant ce noyau qui mènera au Royaume d'Italie.

L'essor
La cité passe de 161 maisons en 1791 à 413 en 1835. La principale richesse est constituée par la pêche et ses dérivés, le commerce du grain, du soufre, du bois de construction. On enregistre pour l'année un trafic de  barques de pêche et 200 barques de transport.

En 1862, la cité entre dans le projet d'une voie ferroviaire qui reliera la Toscane à l'Adriatique, depuis Arezzo à Cesena et Cesenatico. Le projet émet aussi la possibilité d'un développement balnéaire dans la cité dans un but touristique, au vu de sa disposition, de la présence de grandes plages de sable et la possibilité de construire des villas.

Le
La vocation républicaine de Cesenatico est évidente après les élections des années suivantes, mais cela ne l'empêcha pas naturellement de se soustraire au fascisme. Les dommages de guerre furent si considérables qu'on dut la reconstruire presque entièrement. Le palais communal, la tour de l'aqueduc, le phare, le canal et tous les bateaux, le marché aux poissons, les écoles ainsi que les hameaux de Villalta, Sala, Cannucceto, Villamarina, Bagnarola pratiquement rasés au sol. Le désastre prit fin le 20 octobre 1944 avec l'entrée des Néo-Zélandais alliés.

Le tourisme
Immédiatement débutèrent les travaux restauration et de reconstruction. En 1945, fut donnée une forte impulsion à la pêche avec la création de la coopérative des pêcheurs ainsi qu'au tourisme qui portera Cesenatico à se développer dans ce sens. Nombre d'anciennes "villas" furent converties en auberges, la construction du « Grand Hôtel » en 1928-29, la colonie AGIP en 1938 et du célèbre gratte-ciel en 1952 qui donna le départ à une nouvelle ère centrée sur le tourisme de masse, de nouvelles colonies furent construites (une des premières fut la « Colonie 12 Étoiles » en 1953, destinée à des enfants provenant de la province autonome de Bolzano), suivies de beaucoup d'autres au nord de la ville, en direction de Cervia.

Le Musée maritime
En 1983, à la suite d'un intense travail d'identification, d'acquisition et de restauration de navires, le Musée maritime de Cesenatico a ouvert dans le port-canal sa "section flottante " comprenant douze bateaux traditionnels de l'Adriatique.

En 2005 un bâtiment a été construit pour héberger le musée à terre, en bordure du port-canal.

The Town has launched a monumental green initiative that has taken not only local cities by storm, but the State, too. The Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, enables property owners to borrow money to buy solar panels, wind generators, insulation or shutters for their homes. The Green Corridor consists of the following municipalities: Cutler Bay, Coral Gables, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, and South Miami.
The Town of Cutler Bay was recently successful in its efforts to gain legislative authority to create a district to provide a Financing Initiative for Renewable and Solar Technology (FIRST).
Essentially, the bill would allow citizens in certain areas to voluntarily opt-in to a program in which the district loans the money to pay the initial cost associated with the installation of an alternative energy-producing device, and then subsequently the property owner would repay the cost over time.
Bonds are issued by the special district and backed by property tax liens on the residences of owners who are awarded Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans from the bond pool. The property owner repays the loan over a 10, 15 or 20-year period through an increase on their annual property taxes approximately equal to one-twentieth of the loan plus interest. For many homeowners, the annual energy cost savings they will realize from the retrofitting will exceed the cost of the annual repayment costs.
As the first and currently the only local government in Miami-Dade County to have achieved the Florida Green Building Councils Silver Certification, the Town of Cutler Bay recognizes the importance of encouraging the expansion of the use of renewable energy sources in order to diversify the state's energy supplies, reduce dependence on foreign oil, and mitigate the effects of climate change. We believe that a public purpose will be served by a special assessment program that provides a local governing entity or entities the authority to finance the installation of renewable energy sources that are permanently fixed to real property.
The Cutler Bay Growth Management Plan developed with citizen input recognizes the Town's responsibility to play its part in smart growth solutions.
Cutler Bay Green Moratorium makes our Town the first in the South East to establish building restrictions of commercial development. The moratorium requires new developments to participate in one of multiple sustainability certification programs, including LEED (USBGC Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or the Florida Green Building Coalition.
The Town is striving to achieve certification as a "Green City" from the Florida Green Building Coalition.
The Town has established a green plan.
The Town has purchased two hybrid vehicles, the use of recycled paper in Town Hall is being initiated, and green cleaning supplies are being used daily.
The Town has begun upgrading printing equipment and using vegetable-based inks in order to reduce toxins found in the printing process.
The Town has been encouraging the preservation of environmentally rare and endangered land.
We are laying the groundwork for our children and future residents to continue enjoying our Town and parks, clean air and water, and all the other wonderful amenities Cutler Bay's environment has to offer.
The Town of Cutler Bay has pulled together a number of resources to help residents and businesses learn about "going green."
Teaching Your Kids About the "Three Rs"
If you are interested in becoming more energy independent, are interested in providing solar energy for your home and would like to be considered for possible inclusion in this progressive funding mechanism, we would like to hear from you.

Ram Narayan (hindi: राम नारायण, född 25 december 1927) är en indisk musiker som har bidragit till att popularisera stränginstrumentet sarangi. Han har varit aktiv som både solomusiker och i orkestrar och har blivit den första internationellt kända sarangispelaren.

Narayan föddes i Udaipur och lärde sig spela sarangi i tidig ålder. Han studerade även sarangispelande, arbetade som musiklärare och ambulerande musiker i tonåren. All India Radio i Lahore anställde Narayan för att ackompanjera sångare 1944. Han flyttade till Delhi efter delningen av Indien 1947, men tröttnade på att bara ackompanjera och flyttade därför till Mumbai 1949 för att arbeta inom den indiska filmindustrin.

Narayan blev soloartist 1956 och slutade senare med att ackompanjera. Han spelade in soloalbum och började turnera i Amerika och Europa under 1960-talet. Narayan undervisade indiska och utlädnska studenter och spelade ofta utanför Indien in på 2000-talet. Han tilldelades 2005 Indiens högsta civila utmärkelse Padma Vibhushan.

In today's urban landscape, green space is often a valuable commodity in short supply. Real estate values in these environments often make outdoor landscapes impractical. Yet people still crave views of the sky with green open spaces. The developers of Lucky Apartments in Madison, WI realized this and gave their occupants exactly that – by transforming a rooftop space from a barren utilitarian canvas to an outdoor gathering space, complete with fireplace, patio and gazebo.
Creating rooftop plazas does not come without challenges, however. Weight is a significant consideration, both dead and live loads. That's where Foam-Control® Geofoam comes in. By offering the ability to create complex geometric configurations capable of bearing tremendous loads, all while adding minimal loading to the structure, making achievable designs possible.
At Lucky Apartments, a layer of tapered Foam-Control® Geofoam flattened out the structurally-pitched roof deck. A second layer of tapered geofoam on top of this provided drainage to a synthetic turf lawn area, while carrying the accompanying live loads of occupants enjoying the outdoors.
The end result is that residents can enjoy cookouts and music concerts on spaces previously reserved for HVAC units and air-handling equipment. Pretty lucky if you ask me!

Q: C++ - Changing single lowercase charachter in a word to uppercase and vice versa using struct data type As you can see from the title I want to change lowercase charachter in word to uppercase and vice versa.
Also I need to use struct object (in my case name).
I have a problem when I change charachter from lowercase to uppercase it only changes in the first word not in the second,third and so on. I am  also reading words from file
Here is the input file
Aayak Audi
Ahmed Golf7
Samed Golf5

Here is the code
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <cctype>
using namespace std;

struct pismaStr
{
    string ime;
    string objekat;
};

void malaVelikaSlova (string name)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < name.length()-1; i++)
    {
            if (name.at(i) >= 'A' && name.at(i) <= 'Z')
            name.at(i) += 32;
            else if (name.at(i) >= 'a' && name.at(i) <= 'z')
            name.at(i) -= 32;
            cout << name;
            break;
    }
}
int main()
{
    ifstream pismo;
    pismo.open("pismo.txt");
    ofstream novoPismo;
    novoPismo.open("novaSlova.txt");
    pismaStr stvari[200];
    int brojStvari = 0;

    while(pismo >> stvari[brojStvari].ime >> stvari[brojStvari].objekat)
    {
        brojStvari++;
    }
for (int i = 0; i < brojStvari; i++)
    {
       vector <pismaStr> vec = {pismaStr{stvari[i].ime}};
       for (auto obj : vec)
       {
        malaVelikaSlova (obj.ime);
       }
}

Here is the output:
aayak
ahmed
samed

It was:
Aayak
ahmed
samed

I want it to look like this
aAYAK
sAMED
aHMED

How can I fix this?
Any tips?

A: Tangential,
but it will be an issue, is this line
for (int i = 0; i < name.length()-1; i++)

This will loop from name[0] to name[name.length() - 2]. The std::string::length returns the number of usable characters. It does not include the null terminator, so you don't need to subtract 1. It should be
for (int i = 0; i < name.length(); i++)

Your bigger problem
is the break statement at the end of your loop (indentation added for clarity)
for (int i = 0; i < name.length()-1; i++)
{
    if (name.at(i) >= 'A' && name.at(i) <= 'Z')
        name.at(i) += 32;
    else if (name.at(i) >= 'a' && name.at(i) <= 'z')
        name.at(i) -= 32;
    cout << name;
    break;          // <--- this exits the loop entirely
}

Your break; tells the program to exit the loop immediately. No further iterations of the loop are performed. Your cout statement is also within the loop. Once you do get the loop running for each iteration, you'll output each step of the transformation. To only output it once (at the end) you put it outside of the loop. If you want to loop over every character (and you do), your final code looks like
void malaVelikaSlova (string name)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < name.length() - 1; i++)
    {
        if (name.at(i) >= 'A' && name.at(i) <= 'Z')
            name.at(i) += 32;
        else if (name.at(i) >= 'a' && name.at(i) <= 'z')
            name.at(i) -= 32;
    }
    cout << name;
}

Other things you can change
You don't need to do bounds checking on your string indexes, since you're looping based on the string length, and it's not changing, so you don't need to extra overhead of std::string::at. You can just use the index operator:
// name.at(i); // <-- no need to do this anywhere
name[i]        // <-- slightly faster

Since you're applying some operation to each element (character) in your container (string), this is a great candidate for std::transform, from the <algorithm> library. I'm also using a lambda expression here, which is a great too from C++ to get familiar with.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/transform
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/lambda
void malaVelikaSlova (string name)
{
    std::transform(
        name.begin(),
        name.end(),
        [](char c) -> char
        {
            if (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z')
                return c + 32;
            if (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z')
                return c - 32;
            return c; // <-- for all other characters
        }
    );

    std::cout << name << "\n";
}

You could even take advantage of the std::isupper, std::islower, std::toupper, and std::tolower functions to make your code more explicit. Note that std::string is an alias for std::basic_string<char> (its value type is char), the upper and lower functions operate on unsigned chars, so you'll need to convert the chars to unsigned chars:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/tolower
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/toupper
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/isupper
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/byte/islower
void malaVelikaSlova (string name)
{
    std::transform(
        name.begin(),
        name.end(),
        [](unsigned char c) -> unsigned char // <-- must convert to unsigned to be safe with upper/lower functions
        {
            if std::isupper(c) return std::tolower(c);
            if std::islower(c) return std::toupper(c);

            return c; // <-- for all other characters
        }
    );

    std::cout << name << "\n";
}
