British Skater's 2,414 km journey from Brighton to Tangier for mental health awareness
21-year-old British national Sam Allison has embarked on an extraordinary journey to skateboard 2,414 kilometers from Brighton, England, to Tangier, Morocco. His goal is to raise funds for the Ben Raemers Foundation, which supports mental health within the skateboarding community. Allison told the BBC that he felt compelled to support the charity after skateboarding helped him cope with his own mental health struggles. «I did not realize how much it could impact your life until my own negative experience», he said. «Ever since then, I have had it in the back of my mind to raise awareness for mental health [in the skating community]». Allison, who is already experiencing foot pain, plans to skate roughly 48.2 kilometers a day for 55 days. He's carrying all his essentials in a large backpack—including clothes, cooking gear, a sleeping bag, a tent, and spare skateboard wheels. His friend Lucas Perrin will accompany him by bicycle for parts of the journey, helping to keep his spirits up, ensure he stays hydrated, and make sure he doesn't get lost. Allison said that since announcing the challenge, people have started reaching out to him in support. He set off last Wednesday from Brighton toward Newhaven, where he planned to take a ferry to France, joined by a group of fellow skaters.

Tyler Perry, Terri Vaughn Sued Over ‘She The People' Netflix Series
Source: Taylor Hill / Getty A lawsuit alleges that Tyler Perry's new Netflix series 'She The People' infringes on the brand identity and goodwill of a nonprofit organization and political space of the same name. Aimee Allison, president and founder of the nonprofit She the People, filed suit shortly before the release. Allison filed against Netflix, Perry, his company, Tyler Vision, LLC, and actress Terri Vaughn. According to her complaint, Allison previously contracted with Vaughn to develop a docuseries based on the 'She the People' concept. She further alleged that Vaughn and Perry's Netflix series pulls in many of the themes and frames from her work. 'The Series echoes many of the same themes regarding Black women's experiences in politics that Ms. Allison addresses through her activism under the SHE THE PEOPLE mark, albeit in a slightly different format,' reads the complaint. 'With a lighthearted and comedic touch, the Series trailer (the 'Trailer') shows the newly-elected lieutenant governor confronting a number of issues likely to resonate with women of color[.]' While the scenarios themselves are not unique, coupled with the She the People brand, it could suggest the unfair usage of Allison's intellectual property. A quick trademark search shows that Perry applied for the She the People trademark through legal representation. The application was initially denied in part due to the likelihood of confusion with Allison's existing trademark. Allison has not provided any public comment on the show, but she posted a video last week talking about the importance of defending your brand and creative ideas. A seasoned political strategist, Allison was also a significant supporter of former Vice President Kamala Harris during both her 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns. Ahead of the 2024 election cycle, Allison launched a podcast under the She the People brand in partnership with Design Observer. In her personal capacity, Allison supported several fierce state and federal candidates for office, including Stacey Abrams. Through She the People and related work, Allison has established a network of relationships and engagements designed to uplift Black and other women of color. Much of her work has involved breaking through stereotypes of who is considered electable and challenging barriers to entry to Black and other women of color into politics. Founded in 2018, She the People has existed as a space of convening and conversation for Black and other women of color. Allison organized two convenings for Black and other women of color political leaders in 2018 and 2019. The 2019 event centered on a presidential forum that elevated the leadership and voices of Black and other women of color leaders and organizers, as well as several major presidential candidates. Several media outlets covered the event and notable moments from several 2020 candidates, including Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Vice President Kamala Harris. I attended both convenings first as a staffer with former Democracy for America in 2018 and then as a freelance journalist in 2019. Across every moment, curated under the She the People brand, has been focused on shifting the cultural perception of who can be a leader. Allison has been in conversation with Congressional leaders like Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman and newly elected Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee. Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said she was glad to sign on as an executive producer despite people in her inner circle warning her to stay away from the project. Despite her involvement in similar social circles, it's unclear whether Bottoms knew about the 'She the People' connection to Allison's work. 'The world is full of people who wish they had good ideas,' Allison said in an Instagram Reel. 'And too many who'll try to take yours when they see it catching fire. So, put your paperwork in place. And prepare to protect the soul of what you've built.'

Edinburgh Sheriff Court news – Finance worker admits embezzlement
A finance worker embezzled more than £400,000 to feed his out of control gambling habit while he was employed at an agricultural consultancy firm. David Proudfoot was employed as a bookkeeper with Andersons Northern Ltd when he began transferring huge sums of cash from the accounts of two historic Scots estates into his own. Proudfoot managed to cover up his deceit by producing fake invoices and using bogus HMRC tax references while working with the company between 2012 and 2022. Edinburgh Sheriff Court was told the 48-year-old had spent 'the overwhelming majority' of the stolen cash to fund his gambling habit with online sites including Betfair and Bet 365. Proudfoot pleaded guilty to embezzling £439,500 while employed with Andersons Northern Ltd, Station Road, Musselburgh, East Lothian, when appeared at the capital court on Tuesday. (CORR) Andersons Northern Ltd provides services to farming and non-farming businesses including financial planning, farm business administration and IT and software design. Prosecutor Ruaridh Allison told the court the agricultural firm has around 150 clients including the Bemesyde Estate in the Scottish Borders and the Auchlyne Estate in Perthshire. Mr Allison said the Bemesyde Estate was owned by Earl Haig of Bemesyde but was largely run by his wife Lady Jane Haig while the Auchlyne Estate was owned by sole trader Emma Paterson. The court was told Proudfoot, of Penicuik, Midlothian, had responsibilities for 'managing tax affairs and VAT returns for some of the client estates' and the scam was uncovered in 2022. The fiscal depute said: 'The offence came to light in August 2022 when the accountants of the Bemesyde Estate identified a VAT anomaly dating back to November 2021. 'The anomaly was £20,000 which was sufficient for an internal investigation to be met.' Mr Allison said the accountancy firm contacted Andersons Northern Ltd and Proudfoot said he would investigate the anomaly but had subsequently 'failed to do so'. A director of Andersons Northern then conducted his own investigation into the situation and discovered financial transactions were being paid into Proudfoot's personal bank account. A larger review of all the accounts being managed by the bookkeeper was conducted and further payments from both estates were discovered and the police were contacted. Mr Allison said a police investigation found 'over 200 payments disguised as payments for invoices' totalling £108,922.45 were made from the Bemesyde Estate account to Proudfoot between May 2012 and July 2022. The court heard the missing funds went unnoticed as estate bosses had previously allowed Proudfoot to buy products on their behalf and he would be later reimbursed. The fiscal said further payments amounting to more than £115,000 had also been made into Proudfoot's account under the reference of HMRC as he handled payments for two estate employees. The police investigation uncovered a similar scam involving the Auchlyne Estate where Proudfoot had managed to embezzle more than £200,000 between 2014 and 2022. Mr Allison said: 'Tax was being legitimately paid to HMRC by the accused but additional payments had been set and disguised as legitimate payments. 'The police then reviewed the accused's own bank statements in an effort to see where the money had been spent and the overwhelming majority appears to have been spent on gambling. 'They identified the accused has accounts with both Bet 365 and Betfair and payments made to those accounts totals hundreds of thousands of pounds.' Proudfoot was arrested in June 2023 and was said to have given officers 'a full, frank and detailed account of his embezzlement' and had explained the methods he had used to take the money. Sheriff Julius Komorowski granted Proudfoot bail and deferred sentence for the preparation of social work reports to next month.

Denmark screening of Just A Farmer film opens conversation about mental health in rural communities
Denmark restaurant The Dam screened new film Just A Farmer on Monday night, with the evening presented by Black Dog Ride and aiming to open conversations about mental health and suicide in rural Australia. An Australian farmer takes their own life every 10 days. This was the eye-opening statistic presented to the gathered audience at the end of the film, as the room full of more than 100 people sat in sombre silence after watching the deeply moving film. Just A Farmer follows main character Allison and her young farming family in rural Victoria and their journey of grief and healing after she loses her husband Alec to suicide. Leila McDougall wrote, produced, and starred in the film, with she and her husband mortgaging their cattle farm in Victoria to finish the $2 million production. She attended the screening at The Dam and said growing up and living in farming communities opened her eyes to the devastating and growing impacts of the mental health crisis in rural Australia. 'It is still quite taboo in a farming community, but it's time we started having those conversations,' she said. 'Making a movie was my a way of subconsciously getting people to see what's going on in farming communities, and I honestly don't regret a single minute or dollar we spent doing it.' Raintree property owner Stephen Birkbeck gave the evening's opening address, and shone a light on the hardships WA farmers have faced in the past five years and beyond, how important it was to come together to support farmers and have conversations around mental health. 'Experts will give you insights into farmers' suicide, what worries me is that the rates have always been high but they have increased by 50 per cent in the last 10 years. 'I have never seen anything like the stress our farming community face today,' he said. 'We need an SOS to go out, farmers need help if you want us to keep growing your food. 'We need help and we need to be listened to. 'I conclude by asking for society to put a higher value on our farming community and its vulnerable souls.' Black Dog Ride director Bev Seeney said the film was a perfect opportunity to bring WA communities together to talk about mental health. 'I believe telling our stories gives us a sense of empowerment with our stories,' she said. 'If we keep quiet about our own experiences, nobody else knows that there is a way through. 'So many people come up and just start sharing, and for many of them it's the first time they have, and then we can encourage them to go and get support, it's a very powerful thing.'
