Coding is easy with logical thinking. Programming is a very close relative of common sense and so virtually everybody has the capacity to learn to program. Developing a fertile ground for visualization of programming logic should be the prime focus for an absolute beginner and unfortunately this perspective is almost alien not only to most of the beginners but also among the teaching group as well. This book gives a chance to perfect logic building skills based on simple pictorial based exercises. This book can be treated as a supplementary text not only meant for students but also for the teachers or trainers who are looking for a resource that can create interest in programming, the very initial connection which a responsible teacher/trainer likes to establish before any advanced topic is to be delivered. This book is a medium of hope for those; Who is unaware of any approach to crafting any programming logic? Who had a hard time learning to program? Who had some experience in programming and yet still unconfident? Who carries the false notion that coding is only for super smart people? Who is looking for the 1st solid move to become a self-taught programmer? Who are victim of discouragement comments similar to the following; - Actually, you aren't interested. - You lack patience and determination.? - Your IQ is well below average. Programming is not about memorizing programming logic or downloading standard college/university level algorithms by practice in our mind, rather we need to understand the approach to solve a problem. Many novice programmers and many frustrated programmers ask a similar question which are as follows; How to develop logic-building skills? How do I learn to code? How to improve program logic? The Right Approach: So the rule of the thumb is, in order to learn to program language fast and properly, first learn to hack programming logic. So, initially building programming logic skills must be the foremost activity rather than concentrating more on the features/APIs of a programming language. I totally dedicated this technical manual to the beginner or intermediate students who are just tired of hitting hard on many places in order to become confident in programming. If you are among those who have limited time to learn to program, this is a guide that can serve you well too. Learning with simple picture-based problems or patterns surely helps in improving coding skills. If we apply the wrong logical condition, then the non-matching output will be generated. Learning in this way makes learning to interest and force us to put efforts & focused. So, in this way, it helps in logic building. It suits to most of the beginners/non-programmers and programmers with weak coding skills. This is not just a book but a sensible option to learn to program from the very minimal. Can you afford to miss the right way to learn program skills?

The report presents the latest assessment of global trends in wildlife crime. It includes discussions on illicit rosewood, ivory, rhino horn, pangolin scales, live reptiles, tigers and other big cats, and European eel. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has highlighted that wildlife crime is a threat not only to the environment and biodiversity, but also to human health, economic development and security. Zoonotic diseases - those caused by pathogens that spread from animals to humans - represent up to 75% of all emerging infectious diseases. Trafficked wild species and the resulting products offered for human consumption, by definition, escape any hygiene or sanitary control, and therefore pose even greater risks of infection.
