It would be my last present for him,” added the emotional Thasaporn, who fought back from a set down to beat her more experienced rival 3-6 6-2 6-0 in the women’s final. On Wednesday, her father Somchai, 52, died in a road accident when he was driving back to Bangkok after meeting his daughter in Hua Hin. Instead of withdrawing from the competition, the teenager had to summon all her reserves of courage and concentration to stay in the tournament, believing this would be the path her father would have wanted her to pursue. She had to go back and forth between Hua Hin and Bangkok (198km) every day in order to attend the funeral and also stay in the tournament. Even runner-up Kamonwan could not hold back tears during the award presentation. “If this had happened to me, I don’t think I could have carried on the way she did,” she said. Apart from the Bt55,000 prize money, Thasaporn also received a special scholarship of Bt50,000 from the Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand honorary president Suwat Liptapanlop. Thasaporn is currently studying in the US. She returned to Thailand for a pre-season training and is scheduled to go back soon.

most European nations follow an even stricter 0.2% THC limit A reset would replace a THC standard set out in the 1970s by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy (IAPT) based on analysis of North American plant scientists Ernest Small and Arthur Cronquist Their work for the IAPT set 0.3% THC (dry weight of flowers) as the line between Cannabis sativa (non-drug cannabis – “industrial hemp”) and Cannabis indica (drug cannabis – “marijuana”) Hemp plants with higher levels of THC generally contain higher levels of cannabinoids and therefore the level of CBD can increase also Nations observing the 1.0% standard therefore have a market advantage in that specific product category over those where the limits are lower The 0.3% THC limit also causes headaches for growers and producers who run the risk of their plants going beyond the threshold many times leading to destroyed crops and financial losses Uruguay, Ecuador, South Africa, Malawi and Thailand are among hemp-producing countries around the world who have set THC levels for hemp at a full 1.0%; some states in Australia also operate under that limit Poland’s Agriculture Ministry has called for raising the limit to 1.0% while non-EU member Switzerland has an established and proven 1.0% barrier which can serve as guidance for countries all over the world that are in the process of developing hemp policies and programs: signatories to the common position are: The U.S National Hemp Association; British Hemp Alliance; Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance; Latin-American Industrial Hemp Association; Australian Hemp Council; New Zealand Hemp Industries Association; Asia-Pacific CBD Union; Hokkaido Industrial Hemp Association (Japan); Mongolian Hemp Association Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the bed and breakfast at the Palace of Nakło in rural Poland was full of tourists seeking the quiet comfort of 200-year-old trees and small village life.  the rooms are home to Ukrainian mothers and their children fleeing the Russian tanks rolling through their country while men ages 18-60 remain to fight.  Former Detroit journalist Kehrt Reyher and his wife own the 18th-century palace and 20-acre estate After Russian President Putin announced the invasion of Ukraine in the early morning hours of Feb "everything has been kind of a blur" for the Reyhers.  Kehrt Reyher remembers sitting at the kitchen table with his wife "There are going to be people coming out (of Ukraine) and we've got to do something." the Reyhers have opened their doors to Ukrainians fleeing the war The couple has worked with local officials and volunteers in the village to receive 14 refugees arriving in the town of Nakło from the Ukraine-Poland border.  Some Ukrainians pass through quickly before continuing on their journey to other parts of Poland and Europe like seven of the first 10 refugees that stayed with them.  Others are here to stay for who knows how long the Reyhers are hosting three mothers with four children between them —  one just 7 months old — from the city of Kolomyia in Ukraine One woman has a hip injury but was unable to receive the necessary surgery before the war began.  so we consider that they're here for as long as they need to be," Reyher said.  Latest news on Ukraine: NATO nations can send jets to Ukraine; ban on imports of Russian oil bein discussed: Live updates The Reyhers met at Wayne State University in 1989 He was working as a business editor for The Detroit News and she had just arrived at the U.S after two years as a Polish refugee living in Germany fleeing the communist regime of her home country.  Kehrt fell in love with Poland on a reporting trip so together the Reyhers got jobs with a Polish newspaper and moved from Michigan to Poland.  For the last 30 years, they have dabbled in many businesses. From 1993 to 2011 they ran a marketing business during the period of rapid economic growth in Poland after it ditched communism in favor of a market economy In 2002, they purchased the Palace of Nakło, which was in a dilapidated state after decades of abandonment. Renovations began in 2004 and a foundation to support the restoration was established shortly thereafter. The Reyhers moved to the property in 2011 and opened the doors of the bed and breakfast in 2012.  Since 2015, they've also been involved in the hemp industry, producing hemp on the estate grounds, running a hemp trade magazine, and creating a private initiative to aid in the economic expansion of rural Polish villages through low-level hemp processing "There's always a lot going on," Marzenna Reyher said.  In the eight years since the first Russian invasion in Ukraine, over 1 million Ukrainians traveled to Poland looking for work in a country that shares a border and similar culture.  because we speak similar language and we were very enthusiastic about the reforms the country took," Marzenna Reyher said Now, the number of Ukrainians in Poland has nearly doubled, with nearly 900,000 Ukrainian refugees arriving since Feb "The drama that you see on television came to our door," Reyher said "It was absolutely natural to us to open the door and welcome anybody and as many people as we could host."  She worries most about the physiological burden this trauma places on young people safe home as easily as the young children.  She was a refugee in the 1980s after leaving Poland with her brother once martial law was lifted — the country's first step toward integration with the rest of Europe With the help of family friends in West Germany she remembers carrying guilt and worry for her parents back in Poland.  "We always have a guilt when we leave a country that is under oppression," Reyher said "I can imagine that a lot of people who leave their country also feel that sort of guilt." it's still better for the mothers and children to escape Ukraine so they are not killed by the "monster," her name for President Vladimir Putin.  "I'm very happy the world is coming together and giving Ukrainians who are running away the possibility to settle wherever they want," Reyher said and wannabe-czar — someone that has always given her a bad feeling.  "I'm afraid you have to you have had previous experiences to really understand his mind," Reyher said.  she said she's more "angry than sorry" at Putin's aggression than the woes of the war She doesn't think highly of Putin's stamina for war. Among her friends Putin is called a "paper tiger" that they think will run at the first sign of push back.  "The popular opinion among Poles is that if NATO decided to go for him now he will be back in Moscow in two days," Reyher said But she said she's disillusioned with the west's lack of escalation wishing NATO allies would institute no-fly zones she's not worried about Russian troops invading Poland "I think he faces in Ukraine a really long war," Reyher said he won't be able to take over this very brave nation But we don't want the nation to bleed for 10 years." Meals at the Palace of Nakło have settled into a new normal converse together in a mixture of five languages: Polish Kehrt Reyher said the women from Ukraine try to maintain a positive outlook You just want to be with them and try to help make their time is as normal as you can." Part of establishing a new normalcy is medical care and education Hosts across the village are arranging Polish lessons for the Ukrainian children Once the Ukrainians register for official refugee status which cannot come soon enough for the woman staying with the Reyhers who needs hip surgery Marzenna Reyher knows the small things are just as important A haircut or donated clothing in good condition can help give a person dignity in their new home "You have to start to care for individual people for all their needs," Reyher said. "You want the people to feel dignity .. So, we are trying to sort of build this new environment that is not only friendly but also a partnership." Reyher credits grassroots networking for the rapid placement of Ukrainian refugees in homes across Nakło She said the local governments and individual citizens reacted quickly much faster than official state help.  For people wishing to help Ukrainians from their homes around the world, Reyher said small donations to local foundations, like their Nakło Foundation go a long way in supporting refugees and their hosts.  More: Listen to 'On The Line': Bombs in Ukraine reverberate in Michigan More: Supporters of Ukraine rallied Thursday afternoon at Gullen Mall at Wayne State University. Reyher said local officials across the world need to feel the pressure from their constituents to help Ukraine And everyday people can make small sacrifices in response to the high prices that accompany the economic sanctions on Russia.  they want the world to recognize the war in Ukraine is important because this is war on everybody," Reyher said.  HempToday® Events Want to speak at

celebrated her 100th birthday known for her cheerful spirit and love of life marked the occasion on April 14 surrounded by her loved ones who presented her with the Marshal’s Unitas Durat Palatinatus Cuiaviano-Pomeraniensis medal May each day bring them joy and be filled with love and support,” said Marshal Piotr Całbecki Her childhood was a time of simplicity and togetherness The war years left a deep mark on her life: displacement Michalina became involved in community work – she was active in the scouting movement and the Polish Red Cross she not only raised four children but also helped her neighbors who had spent five years in the resistance movement they built a home that remains a gathering place for generations Michalina has eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren Though she has reached one hundred years of age She still remembers the taste of penny candy and dances to the sound of a comb no complaining… and allow yourself sweet pleasures!” says the centenarian Perhaps this wise balance – between work and joy between giving to others and moments of carefree delight – is her secret to longevity The regional self-government has been honoring 100-year-old residents since 2018 and over 470 people have received the Unitas Durat medal to date Families of residents approaching their 100th birthday – or older – are encouraged to contact us at 56 62 18 344 or by email
