With the benefits of travelling solo, the question of security still remains an important issue. However, this too has two solutions. The first is to try and crime proof oneself and the second is to choose the destinations that are safe for travelling alone. When it comes to crime-proofing, it is advisable to learn some kind of martial arts like judo or karate. There are three main tricks of the trade — never hitchhike; do not easily trust anyone and do not indulge into drinking. If these three principles are followed then it becomes relatively safe for women to travel outdoors all alone. 1, record 2, English, - crime%20proof%20oneself

Une fois à l'étranger. Soyez prudent. Même si vous vous sentez en sécurité dans votre pays de destination, il est essentiel de vous protéger contre le crime : Demeurez vigilant et à l'affût de ce qui se passe autour de vous. Réduisez au maximum votre consommation d'alcool; ne consommez pas et ne transportez pas de stupéfiants, et ne vous impliquez pas dans leur trafic. Faites vous-même vos valises et ne les laissez jamais sans surveillance.

Said of a coin having a surface as flawless and brilliant, or nearly so, as a proof due to the fact that it is-one of the first coins struck with fresh, new dies;-one of the coins struck from dies originally intended for proofs, then converted to ordinary coinage; or-one of the coins deliberately struck to resemble a proof but struck only once, like an ordinary coin, a highly polished blank being struck with highly polished dies.

The practice of striking special sets of coins using this method first began in Canada in 1953. Actually, the term "proof-like" was first used by a Toronto coin dealer, James E. Charlton, around 1954, as a descriptive for what the RCM had labelled publicly as "uncirculated". Even if the term was eventually widely accepted, the Mint never adopted it and has continued to use "uncirculated". 1, record 7, English, - prooflike
