Java, won the gold medal at the International Mathematics Contest held in
Romania between March 22 to 29, Antara news agency reported.

the competition, which she said had been very tight. “Thank God I won. I will
study harder,” she said.
Indonesia sent 10 students to the competition in Romania. Diva is not the
first Pamekasan student to win an international science competition. Oktavian
Latief, a student from SMA Negeri 1 Pamekasan won gold at the International
Physics Olympiad in 2006. Another student, Shohibul Maromi, won the same
award in 2010.

Al-Qaida-Linked Tribesmen Ban Popular Drug In Southern.
Tribesmen allied with al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen have imposed a ban on
the leafy qat plant, a mild narcotic widely chewed on a daily basis, in a southern
port city overrun by the militants last month. Yemeni men traditionally chew
qat for several hours starting around midday, stuffing their cheeks with the
leaves and letting its narcotic dissolve in their saliva. At daily qat-chewing
sessions Yemenis recline on floor cushions, listen to traditional music, exchange
gossip and engage in wide-ranging debates. The widely cultivated plant
consumes 30 percent of the extremely scarce water resources in Yemen, the
Arab world’s poorest country, and cuts into the production of other crops. The
World Health Organization classifies the drug as a narcotic. Al-Qaida in the
Arabian Peninsula and allied tribesmen overran the city of Mukalla — capital of
the vast Hadramawt province — last month, in part because of heavy fighting
elsewhere between Shiite rebels known as Houthis and loyalists of Yemen’s
internationally recognized president, backed by Saudi-led airstrikes. The
tribesmen, who refer to themselves as “Sons of Hadramawt,” on Thursday
distributed pamphlets saying qat chewing is banned and that violators “will be
held fully responsible under Shariah law,” without elaborating.
Pictures posted on social networking sites for local reporters showed
tribesmen setting fire to piles of green leaves in the streets while others armed
with assault rifles halted trucks carrying the plants and turned them away from
the city. “Qat is a problem either way,” said Salem Dayan, a merchant in
Mukalla. “If you ban it, people will have nothing to do to kill time, and if you lift
the ban, you bring back the financial burden on your family.” A person can
spend anywhere from $5 to $50 on qat for a single session. Retired teacher
Ahmed Basalma welcomed the ban, saying qat “ruined lives and wrecked whole
families,” but that addicts would likely find a way around it. Awad bin Dagher, a
government employee, said there are no recreational alternatives to the drug.
“We have nothing but the seafront,” he said. “I can’t imagine my life without
qat.”

Violent crimes motivated by right-wing political opinions rose more than 40
percent in Germany last year as the country saw a large influx of migrants, the
government said Monday. German authorities recorded 1,485 such crimes last
year, up from 1,029 the previous year, according to annual crime statistics.
The Interior Ministry reported an even bigger increase in the broader
category of "hate crimes," offenses of a racist or anti-Semitic nature or targeting
people because of their religion. They rose 77 percent to 10,373 from 5,858 the
previous year. Offenses targeting homes for asylum seekers more than
quadrupled to 923, with acts of violence against those homes increasing to 177
from 26 the previous year.
Germany registered nearly 1.1 million people as asylum-seekers in 2015,
more than any other European country. While many Germans were welcoming,
there has been strong opposition from a vocal minority, and concern over
increasing anti-foreigner violence.
The large number of migrants led to the number of offenses against laws
specifically concerning foreigners — such as illegal entry to the country or
failure to register with authorities— more than doubling to 402,741 from
156,396. Those statistics "distort the picture of security in our country," Interior
Minister Thomas de Maiziere said. That led to a 4.1 percent increase overall in
all offenses recorded by police last year. But excluding those offenses
exclusively concerning foreigners, the overall number was barely changed at a
bit over 5.9 million, the government said.
