Woodland Suite Experience which comprises five Woodland Suites and four River Suites Julio Tudela: «We turn healthcare workers into executioners» The director of the Bioethics Observatory has analysed the increase in requests for euthanasia in 2024: «70,000 patients die with severe Spain registered a total of 766 requests for euthanasia in 2023 which is 24% more than in the previous year The fear of suffering in the final stage of our lives or the deficit in palliative services could be behind these figures This issue has been addressed in ‘Ecclesia al día‘ with the director of the Bioethics Observatory of the Catholic University of Valencia who considers that requests for euthanasia are due to “an anthropological problem that does not allow the person to face suffering” but in turn could be explained by the lack of a health response for “patients who have chronic suffering” Tudela has provided a very revealing and terrifying fact and that is that in Spain 70,000 patients die every year with intense avoidable pain “because they do not receive the necessary medical attention” Given this lack of access to palliative care for incurable patients health centers offer the provision of euthanasia: “Euthanasia is deliberately causing the death of a patient it means that in countries where this practice is approved its extension is increasing and the requirement for its application is decreasing” euthanasia goes against the vocation of the health professional “to cure to suddenly become “an executioner who ends the life of his patient” causes “permissiveness to increase not only among patients It is a huge problem because when many people approve that a doctor a nurse or a pharmacist participate in an act whose objective is to end the patient’s life what is happening to us?,” the expert asked Julio Tudela has also emphasized the low cost of requesting euthanasia in countries like Holland compared to the multidisciplinary care required to care for a patient in a terminal state: “Sixty euros costs a euthanasia kit you have to accompany the patient many times for months or years Resources are not dedicated to this item because there is a kind of reluctance to invest resources for a person who is going to die,” he explained the director of the Bioethics Observatory of the UCV has called on professionals to have “eyes that contemplate the human dignity of the person who suffers in order to invest resources in him when you know that he is not going to be cured and what you do is accompany him so that he lives as dignified as possible.” understanding the so-called ‘dignified death’ as euthanasia is a fallacy since what exists is “dignified life,” and he adds that “contemplating in every person a dignified human being deserving of care and accompaniment like everyone else supposes an ethical approach that we must spread,” he proclaimed he has denounced that in countries where euthanasia was regularized decades ago “involuntary euthanasia” is being carried out in elderly people over eighty years old residing in nursing homes “This is a response to the slippery slope when the law is approved it is usually very demanding in the circumstances to grant the application of euthanasia In the end euthanasia is accepted by the population and it is extended to the moment in which you can ask for euthanasia because you are tired of living This is a worrying symptom that our civilization is truly sick,” he warned Published in Cope El Observatorio de Bioética se encuentra dentro del Instituto Ciencias de la vida de la

in Hagåtña A man accused of torturing and assaulting a now-deceased woman could be going to trial in the next month Superior Court of Guam Judge Maria Cenzon held a hearing to discuss the forensic evaluation of Eugene Wayne Tudela Huffman who was found to be competent to be prosecuted on charges of criminal sexual conduct and aggravated assault Huffman pleaded not guilty by reason of mental illness to charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct as a first-degree felony and aggravated assault family violence and felonious restraint as third-degree felonies stemming from reports by a woman who accused Huffman of torturing beating and sexually assaulting her at his Dededo residence from June 2 to June 4 Peter Santos from the Alternate Public Defender said he had not had a chance to discuss the evaluation with Huffman Santos added he would not be objecting to the results Defense attorneys typically have a chance to object to the results and in response judges would schedule a competency hearing to ultimately decide whether to adopt the findings of forensic evaluation conducted by a psychologist Considering there was no objection from Huffman's defense counsel Cenzon began looking to schedule Huffman's trial since Huffman asserted his right to a speedy trial and is confined at the Department of Corrections Cenzon did not give an exact date for the trial but confirmed it will be scheduled either during the last week of November or the first week of December 'I just want the best fighting chance possible' interjected and made a request to be released from confinement because his third-party custodians were present While Cenzon explained that a magistrate judge would determine Huffman's release Huffman stated he would like to be released to have the "best fighting chance" in defense of the charges I haven't seen the sunlight in three months and it's going to be very difficult to fight this case with the circumstances I just want the best fighting chance possible," Huffman said Santos told Huffman he was working on release but needed to wait for a bail hearing to be scheduled by the magistrate judge Huffman was arrested and charged after officers with the Guam Police Department responded to reports of an expired person in August GPD then issued a press release stating the woman was the same woman who accused Huffman of torturing and sexually assaulting her in June attempts were made to offer the victim assistance who told officers that she was receiving medical treatment GPD launched a separate investigation into her death The Guam Daily Post has not received any confirmation from the department regarding the woman's cause of death Spanish Grand Prix rider Cristian Tudela Ruiz has decided on his future after Blue Hors and will be moving back home to Spain The 32-year old Tudela has been riding for Blue Hors in Denmark for almost 6 years but lost his job - like the majority of all staff - when the stud announced that it will be closing its doors on 1 April 2024 Ruiz got his dressage education at Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda under Enrique Cruces and then worked for Jose Antonia Garcia Mena for five years his wife Maria Alba and daughter Sara moved to Denmark as he accepted a job at Helgstrand Dressage where he worked for two years before moving to Blue Hors Since the announcement of the closure of Blue Hors, Tudela began spending more time back in Spain in December 2023, teaching a clinic at Las Cadenas and celebrating the holidays with his family. He also secured the 15-year old Blue Hors Zick Flower (by Zack x  Romanov) to continue his Grand Prix career with Tudela broke the rather unsurprising news on Instagram: "I will like to say thank you so much to Blue Hors for this amazing 5 years Now it’s a very exciting moment to start my own business and I decided to do it in Spain together with my family I have a lot of new horses and new projects After 7 years working in Denmark it’s time to go back to my country."

In her letter to committee chair Sen. Karl King-Nabors, Marian DLG Tudela said that before acting on the bill, which was introduced by Sen. Paul A. Manglona, the Senate panel should first hear from the CEC "on this subject matter in formulating the most appropriate public policy criteria governing Commonwealth elections." She said the concept that S.B. 23-68 is suggesting "is ostensibly premised in providing duly registered voters greater flexibility and presumably ballot access in voting on the day of election." Currently, a Tinian voter who is on Saipan on Election Day must return to Tinian to vote. Tudela said this "makes voting appear inaccessible or an inconvenience…, and also appears to infringe on the right to vote…." But noting the differences between election precincts on Saipan and those on Tinian and Rota, she believes that allowing voters to cast their ballot at any precinct, as proposed by S.B. 23-68, "may incite the very essence of the horrific events that happened in the nation's capital on Jan. 6, 2021, when all hell broke loose [with] helter-skelter ballot access undermining ballot integrity at the end of Election Day." Tudela said the municipal council, for its part, advocates “greater ballot access that maintains measured ballot integrity by allowing electronic voting on the day of election or voting online instead of standing in line for hours, especially on Saipan.” Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.

33-year-old woman in June Eugene Wayne Tudela Huffman was arrested at his Dededo residence on suspicion of beating and sexually assaulting a 33-year-old woman allegedly held hostage for three days in June police located Huffman at his residence when responding to an expired person complaint GPD further explained in a press release issued on Friday that before finding Huffman several attempts were made to locate Huffman attempts to offer the victim assistance were declined by the woman who told police she was receiving medical treatment Upon responding to the expired person report GPD stated that the individual was a 33-year-old woman but also found Huffman was a suspect in the complaint made in June GPD said in the release that the complaint made in June has resulted in the arrest and charging of Huffman GPD did not explicitly confirm in the release whether the expired person and Huffman's alleged victim in the June complaint are the same woman "The investigation into the expired person remains open The Criminal Investigation Division is currently working with the medical examiner's office in determining the cause of death through an autopsy," GPD stated in its press release issued Friday An expired person report is issued when it is believed the individual died from natural causes The official statement from GPD comes after The Guam Daily Post spoke with the sister of the victim in Huffman's June complaint and confirmed it is the same woman who was found dead at Huffman's residence earlier this week The sister further said she learned of the victim's death after

When her discomfort continued to increase, she asked her husband to take her to the emergency room. Tests determined she had a kidney infection from a large stone blocking her left kidney, and worse – it had led to sepsis Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection It happens when an infection you already have triggers a chain reaction throughout your body as they were not working efficiently enough to filter toxins and allow urine to flow I just wanted to find a way to help and give her a chance to live,” Tudela said Sargee spent over a month in the ICU. When she was discharged, doctors placed her on dialysis an artificial procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys stop working properly “I was going to dialysis three times a week and each appointment took over four hours,” Sargee said “It felt like my entire life revolved around getting treatment.” Tudela saw the toll the procedures were taking on her sister. Living on the small island of Guam the United States island territory in Micronesia in the western Pacific Ocean the two saw each other frequently and spoke every day “I knew the only way to improve her quality of life was to give her one of my kidneys,” Tudela said As Tudela looked into her options, a friend told her about a surgeon originally from Guam working at UC Davis Health that specialized in kidney transplants. She quickly began doing her own research and reached out to the UC Davis Transplant Center “Stephanie walked me through every step of the process and was so thorough in her explanations,” Tudela remembered I completed all of the tests to find out if I was a match for Victoria and luckily During Sargee and Tudela’s first appointment at UC Davis Health one of the first questions they were asked was – “Are you identical twins?” “The truth was that we didn’t know our parents didn’t even know,” Sargee explained “They told us they would run a test during the transplant operation to find out if we were.” identical twins give the rare opportunity for the recipient to live as if their new kidney is their own the body's immune system recognizes the new organ as a foreign object and attacks it Recipients are prescribed immunosuppressants that help prevent the immune system from damaging their new organ “Identical twins give the rare opportunity for the recipient to live as if their kidney is their own," Baroni explained "Giving immunosuppressants for many years is associated with serious side effects that’s the best thing we can do.” tests confirmed Sargee and Tudela were identical twins Because her sister was a “perfect match,” Sargee has not needed immunosuppressant medication “It is an enormous relief to not need anti-rejection medications,” Sargee said “It gives me even more hope that I will be able to live a normal life now.” both Sargee and Tudela are recovering well “The surgery was seamless and quick,” Tudela recalled nutritionists – everyone we worked with knew their role and consulted with us in their area of expertise Both sisters have become much more health conscious are mindful of their diet and drink lots of water “We bring our water bottles with us wherever we go,” Sargee joked But mostly Sargee and Tudela are grateful for the support they received to make the transplant possible “Helping someone improve their quality of life is a blessing,” reflected Tudela “Not many people are given this opportunity and I appreciate the entire UC Davis team for helping make this possible.” Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.:hs-publicaffairs@ucdavis.edu916-734-9040 After business hours, holidays or weekends:hs-publicaffairs@ucdavis.edu916-734-2011 (ask for public information officer) © 2025 UC Regents.

farm on the Catalonia countryside with naturally grown olives This article is also in audio form for your listening enjoyment Scroll down just a bit to find the recording Parisian-born Virginie Buu-Hoi Stewart counts herself fortunate to have fulfilled her life’s goal of traveling overseas and living in major cities And who could blame her if she pinched herself to make sure she wasn’t dreaming while in Vietnam did she think her ultimate destination would be Sant Miquel de Tudela an off-grid Spanish farm in a remote part of the country took over her mother’s 6-hectare olive The property also includes the ruins of a 12th-century village and church Virginie says the transition led to an unexpected passion for the land “Who would’ve thought that a real Parisian like me would be willing to trade in her high heels and suit for a pair of old jeans and boots to become a farmer?” she says set her daughter’s course correction in motion when she answered a call to return to her roots Mercedes purchased five contiguous parcels in Spain’s la Segarra region and many of her family members still live there She also wanted to restore the on-site village which was abandoned in 1348 during the Black Death known locally today as the church of Sant Miquel de Tudela The property includes a forest of small evergreen oaks (Quercus ilex) and an 18th-century house called Cal Tonillo Mercedes planned to modernize the property including turning Cal Tonillo into an ecological retirement home for herself and her husband she added a rainwater-collection system and solar panels to the house The restoration of Sant Miquel de Tudela became her passion my mother was quite sick the last five years of her life and only had time to restore Cal Tonillo before she passed away in 2014,” Virginie says Two and a half years after Mercedes passed Virginie and James made the life-changing decision to carry on her mother’s dream They were living in South Africa at the time and when James’ work contract expired giving up their life in the city to live in an area so remote it lacks grid-connected electricity and running water The area is accessible only by a long network of dirt and gravel roads that wind through picturesque rolling hills and fields so pristine they seem untouched by the modern world one of Mercedes’ last projects was to add central heating to the home and Cal Tonillo was move-in ready when they arrived While studying her mother’s files to understand her goals for the property Virginie uncovered letters written by Mercedes in which she explained her plans for Virginie to take over the farm She knew all along,’ ” Virginie says “I don’t know if I was passionate the first few months after we got here and didn’t know what we were doing But as I read her files and learned more about the project The first thing Virginie did to carry on her mother’s legacy was to gain the certifications necessary to become a farmer — the same certifications her mother had earned She would need these certifications to sell olives and almonds commercially as well as to recognize the region’s 500 wild herbs The certifications are also necessary for the farm to meet the phytosanitary and food-hygiene requirements for handling and processing food products because she wanted to open a bed-and-breakfast Farmers in the certification classes Virginie took were suspicious of her dreams because she was the younger of only two women there She changed their minds by showing them she wanted to do things properly and by asking for their advice they began treating me like I was one of them!” Virginie says Even local friends were among the initial doubters a farmer and the mayor of the nearby village of La Prenyanosa “They recently told me that they thought we would be here for a few months and for holiday and that what we were doing was more like a hobby than a vocation,” Virginie says she earned Josep and Teresa’s respect and admiration through hard work “They realized I was determined to succeed and we weren’t going to give up.” Not only have Virginie and James turned skeptics into admirers but they’re also finally starting to see the fruits of their investment They’ve developed a boutique product line of extra-virgin olive oil from 160 olive trees; sweet and crunchy packaged almonds from 60 trees; herbs that are seasonally harvested and dried; and small batches of jams and syrups from wild-growing figs offering them a variety of natural experiences including participating in olive and almond harvests The farm’s biggest production is extra-virgin olive oil from three olive cultivars (Olea europaea): ‘Verdale,’ ‘Cornicabra,’ and ‘Arbequina,’ the last of which is native to the region Some of the trees are potentially 100 years old while some of the younger ones were planted by Mercedes or Virginie and James and harvest — a favorite activity of B&B guests — occurs during a five-day span in fall Virginie insists on using the centuries-old method of picking olives by hand even though shaking them off the trees with electronic tools would greatly reduce harvest time When asked why she insists on hand-harvesting she has a quick response: “How would you like to be shaken like that?” she says Virginie — who’s fluent in French and English; understands Catalan perfectly; and speaks a little Catalan herself — talks to the olive trees in her native French “Tu es un bon élève” (“you are a good student”) when they produce lots of olives and Virginie extended the harvest to two five-day sessions and made two trips to a local mill where the olives were cold-pressed into oil in the first press she scolds them with “Je vais te donner une chance de plus.” (“I will give you one more chance.”) To make sure she has their attention “Il va falloir te couper les branches.” (“I will have to cut your branches.”) While some olives are better for oil and others are better to eat “My oil is a mix of our different kinds of olives with their different tastes,” she says “I do not have enough olives to separate them into different production types is lab-tested for quality and nutritional content it’s made from an all-natural process with no added preservatives and labeled with the Sant Miquel de Tudela brand Sant Miquel de Tudela’s almond production comes from ‘Largueta,’ ‘Marcona,’ and ‘Commune’ cultivars (Prunus dulcis) and the almonds are harvested by hand at the end of summer — an activity that’s open to guests Virginie lays the almonds out in the sun to dry and then carefully stores them in baskets until they can be evaluated and packaged Virginie doesn’t have to import honeybees to pollinate her trees because wild honeybees take care of it for her The farm also produces aromatic herbs and a selection of jams and syrups The herbs grow wild on the hills of the property’s 6 hectares Lavender grows in two spots where Virginie’s parents planted it The sight of the herbs in bloom is beautiful but Virginie says she enjoys their fragrance just as much as the riot of colors they produce While her mother’s primary interest was in medicinal herbs to use for aromatherapy Virginie’s interests lie in herbs for gastronomy and in creating herb infusions for taste and health benefits “The weather extremes here enhance their taste and benefits,” she says She follows a schedule for harvesting and drying herbs that goes from April to November Thyme and rosemary can be picked anytime in that interval; lavender is harvested in July; fennel seeds are picked in October; and cade juniper berries are selected in November every two years Her favorite time for drying herbs is during summer The farm’s fruit production comes from wild-growing figs Virginie picks the fruit and berries when they’re perfectly ripe and then preserves them into jams and syrups The only part of her mother’s vision for Sant Miquel de Tudela that Virginie hasn’t fulfilled is the restoration of the village and church “All that remains are ruins,” she says “You would have to tear down what is left to build anything new so you would lose the historical heritage.” Even though she’s leaving the ruins in place Virginie is confident her mother would approve of how she has embraced her vision “Teresa [Pijuan] told me that she used to talk a lot with my mother about what she had undertaken,” Virginie says because who is going to enjoy all that you are doing and continue your project?’ And then she told me my mother said Virginie thinks about those words as she looks across the property’s breathtaking views to the distant Pyrenees mountains which are more of a connection to her new home and her native France than a border between them “I am doing something my mother would be proud of,” she says “And that makes me a bit emotional.” Sant Miquel de Tudela offers natural experiences from May to late fall For more information about participating in harvests and bird-watching (from partridges to eagles the area
