I. A bit of history The mouth of the Don River has been of great commercial and cultural importance since the ancient times. It was the site of the Greek colony Tanais, of the Genoese fort Tana, and of the Turkish fortress Azak. (See the article on Azov for detailed information on those settlements.) Rostov-on-Don was in essence established in 1749, as a customs house was built on the Temernik (a tributary of the Don), and soon a large fortress followed. It was named after Saint Dimitry of Rostov , a newly-glorified bishop from the old Northern town Rostov the Great . As Azov gradually declined, a settlement near the new fortress superseded it in importance as a chief commercial centre of the region. In 1756 the "Russian commercial and trading company of Constantinople" set up there, establishing a settlement on the high bank of the Don known as the "Kupecheskaya Sloboda" (the merchant's fortress). In 1796 this settlement received town rights and was renamed Rostov-on-Don, in order to distinguish it from its ancient namesake.

The first written record of Levice, Slovakia dates to 1156 and mentions a church dedication. A castle was built in Levice in the 13th century when a nearby castle declined in importance. Under the castle's protection, a settlement called "Big" or "Old" Levice developed in the 14th century, which is considered the predecessor to the modern town. Frequent fires caused great damage to Levice, destroying almost the entire town in 1696. Levice grew significantly in the second half of the 18th century as an agricultural center and site of trade and crafts.

According to a recent census, the number of single people worldwide has grown to over 12 million in the last decade. Being single is now seen as a motivated lifestyle choice that is accepted in society. Many people enjoy this relaxed attitude towards life without close family ties or a long-term partner. However, some downsides are that young people are becoming more rebellious and independent from parents at a young age, often forgetting the importance of family. As a result, many elderly people who need love and care languish alone, remembering their families with a bittersweet smile. Some consider it normal to send parents to retirement homes just to avoid responsibility. It is cruel to leave elderly relatives with bitter solitude; people should stay connected
