In an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun, the Croatian- Canadian entrepreneur revealed how his co-star had a huge influence on his life and that his friendship with Cuban made him richer. “I think I was a little bit jealous, but then I really respected him because he’s a great guy and I admired him,” Herjavec told The U.S. Sun. Cuban and Herjavec both star on Shark Tank , where the Sharks give budding entrepreneurs the chance to secure business deals that could make them millionaires. I have to give him full credit, I'm worth way more money after meeting Mark than I was before While acknowledging he was envious of the billionaire’s success at first, Herjavec said his jealousy of Cuban helped him realize he had lost his purpose in life. He got to know Cuban while filming the show and grew to respect him. Read more on Mark Cuban “Mark is larger than life in all things, in airplanes, and his demeaner...everything. “I think it was just such a different character for me, and I didn’t know how to handle it at first.” Since meeting Cuban, Herjavec created a YouTube series called Things I learned from a Billionaire to Become a Billionaire where he shares lessons learned from Cuban Herjavec said he originally started his company with a few simple goals including earning enough money to pay off his mortgage and buy a Corvette if he could afford to. Most read in Money But the investor now admits his relationship with Cuban actually helped him dream bigger. “I said to myself, if Mark can then why can’t I?” Herjavec surpassed his initial goal, making hundreds of millions of dollars. He first became successful after selling his internet security software to AT&T Canada in 2000 for $30 million. After selling his company to AT&T, he founded The Herjavec Group, which became one of Canada’s largest information technology security providers. The company was rebranded to become Cyderes. Herjavec stepped down as CEO of the company in September this year, saying he would like to spend more time with his family. 'RETAIL RENAISSANCE' During the exclusive on-camera interview in New York , the shark covered a wide range of topics, including politics, the economy, and the retail sector. Herjavec insisted the US economy was experiencing a “retail renaissance " despite mass closures and layoffs across the industry, forecasting a major boom over the next few years. The investor said retail companies could be successful if they sold high-quality products and offered shoppers a destination experience. Herjavec also threw his weight behind President-elect Donald Trump after his election victory, saying the former President would be the best person to manage the economy. He also revealed he still “loves” Dancing with the Stars and watches the show with his wife Kym Johnson after they met as co-stars in 2015, saying he believes people often fall in love on the show because they get “very close” during filming. RAGS TO RICHES Herjavec has a remarkable life story. His family left Croatia when he was just eight years old, arriving in Canada with just one suitcase after his father fled from jail in a communist country. In what is a classic “rags to riches” story, Herjavec started off as a newspaper delivery boy and waiter until rising up the ranks with various business ventures and investments. “We came from a communist country, and I didn’t realize we were poor until we came to Canada originally, and life was just really, really hard,” Herjavec exclusively told The U.S. Sun. “And I think what made me stand out was that I just refused to live like that anymore. So if I had to work harder, no problem.” Herjavec said he was motivated after he watched his parents work hard and sacrifice so much, often feeling an “incredible pressure” to “make something” of himself.

THIS is the unbelievable moment the dad of the sex abuse teacher Brittany Zamora's 13-year-old victim confronts her - calling her a "f*****g monster". Vile Zamora, 33, was locked up in 2019 for sexually abusing a young boy who she had groomed via her school's social media app. Now a new bombshell documentary has captured the moment Zamora and her husband, Daniel, plead with the victim's dad during a phone call to forgive the then-teacher and to not call the cops. The victim's dad initially speaks to Zamora directly in the bombshell footage, asking her: "What type of f*****g perverted person are you?" He continues: "You are a f*****g monster. "You are a pedophile and are a child molester." read more us news Zamora then proceeds to ask the furious dad if they could meet to talk about the abuse and if they could "settle" it "outside". The boy's dad sarcastically responds: "Oh yeah, so I can give you a chance to do it to some other kid." He adds: "Ms Zamora, do me a favor, do not call me back again, do you understand me?" The disgraced teacher then passes the phone onto her husband, Daniel Zamora. Most read in The US Sun In the footage he is heard begging: "God preaches forgiveness, man." The victim's dad proceeds to slam the mad husband, labelling the sick teacher Zamora as a "f*****g monster". He said: "Listen to me, I am not gonna settle this out of court . "There’s not enough money you could f*****g offer to me to settle this. "Your woman is a monster. She’s a monster." Oblivious Daniel continues to try and defend his sexual abuser wife, continuing to say that she is a "great teacher" who "made a huge mistake". He appears to go as far as trying to justify her sickening behaviour, explaining that she got "invested" with her student and that she had been a great teacher in her five years in the role. The boy's distraught father responds: "Your wife decided to be a monster and prey on a child. "She scarred my son mentally." The disturbing phone call occurred after the boy's parents found disgusting text messages that indicated a sexual relationship had happened between the pair after they began monitoring his phone with an app. Body cam footage of Zamora's arrest is also featured in the documentary, alongside interviews with parents, witnesses and school administrators. The victim had told investigators that he and the then-27-year-old teacher at Goodyear's Las Brisas Academy Elementary School had sex numerous times in her car and classroom. And an 11-year-old friend of the victim even acted as a "lookout" at times, according to the documentary. Zamora also fondled the "scarred" victim in the back of her classroom as other students watched an educational video. In one horrific text, the teacher told the teen: "Like you for real get sexier to me every day lol." Zamora pleaded guilty to sexual conduct with a minor and reduced charges of molestation of a child and public sexual indecency. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison in July 2019. The victim's family filed a civil lawsuit against the school where the abuse had occurred as well as Zamora's husband, claiming they were aware of rumors before the abuse was brought to light. The suit also accused husband Daniel of failing to alert authorities after he discovered the abuse. He settled for an undisclosed amount in 2019. In May 2020, the former Arizona teacher filed for divorce against her husband, Daniel, less than a year into her sentence, relinquishing her rights to the family home and shared properties. In the divorce documents, she wrote that "our marriage is broken beyond repair ("irretrievably broken") and there is no hope of reconciliation." The pair had been together since they were 16 and he remained completely loyal to her throughout the prosecution. READ MORE SUN STORIES It's unclear whether Daniel Zamora knew the full extent of what was happening between his wife and the student prior to her arrest and conversations that included the victims father indicated that Daniel thought the relationship wasn't physical according to AZCentral . Mr Zamora was never charged for crimes related to the case, yet he remained by his wife's side even after she admitted to having sex with the boy in court.

JAKARTA, Dec 21 — Indonesian artist Arahmaiani has had many lives — from an imprisoned then exiled anti-dictatorship activist to a hippie, art teacher and environmentalist — which have inspired her works that test the limits of freedom. The South-east Asian artist was a nomad for years because of a crackdown on her paintings, installations and performances, which were viewed as provocative in the conservative Muslim-majority nation. Her works are now on show at Britain’s Tate Modern in London for the first time and in November she gave a performance there focusing on violence suffered by Chinese-Indonesians in unrest during the fall of dictator Suharto in the late 1990s. Her voice and percussion-based performance named “Burning Country” presents a healing process for the community after the trauma from riots still fresh in the memory. Her radical view of that era, questioning of religious tolerance and environmental damage were major themes of her mini-exhibition “The Wrath of Earth” held in the Indonesian capital Jakarta in August and September. “Art should challenge the status quo and provoke thought. It is a means to question our reality and inspire change,” she wrote in the exhibition catalogue. ‘Our Frida Kahlo’ Prominently featured in Jakarta were Linnga and Yoni, masculine and feminine symbols that are Hindu representations of the balance of opposites. Indonesians “wanted to forget these symbols” that were once omnipresent in the archipelago, which was Buddhist, Hindu and animist before becoming the world’s most populous Muslim-majority country, she said. “I want to remind myself and others about this forgotten cultural heritage,” Arahmaiani, 63, told AFP. Recognised abroad as one of the region’s best artists, she is “less so in Indonesia”, said Deborah Iskandar, owner of ASI Gallery in Jakarta that hosted Arahmaiani’s exhibition this year. She wanted to host an exhibition for Arahmaiani to “introduce her work to a younger generation of art lovers”, she said. Exhibition curator Nasir Tamara calls Arahmaiani “our Frida Kahlo”, comparing her to the Mexican feminist and taboo-breaker. “For young people, Yani (Arahmaiani) is a heroine, she’s free. She’s been a fighter since university,” she said. The black-haired woman with a serene smile from Indonesia’s main island of Java now laughs at past controversies. Born in the Javan city of Bandung to a cleric father and a mother of Hindu-Buddhist descent, she studied art at the Bandung Institute of Technology. She was briefly imprisoned there in 1983 following complaints about her works from Islamist parties. ‘Freedom for everyone’ A 1993 painting “Lingga-Yoni” and 1994 installation “Etalase” caused controversy for combining symbols linked to Islam, Western culture and sexuality. Conservative Muslims called for these works to be censored and Arahmaiani received death threats. She then left for Australia, where she carried on her studies while living with a hippy community. “There should be freedom for everyone, including women, on the religious basis of love and compassion,” she said. But being a Muslim woman abroad can also carry its own stigma. She criticised those prejudices in her installation “11 Juni 2002” after a trip to the United States. In that work, she recreates a room where she was detained by American immigration officers. Her status as a young Muslim woman travelling alone had made authorities suspicious about possible terrorism links, she said. In 2006, following a major earthquake in the central Javan city of Yogyakarta, she launched the “Flag Project”: spectacular performances in which flags are waved with messages that encourage community dialogue. Those performances were replicated elsewhere, including Tibet. Arahmaiani is involved in environmental protection work there and visits regularly, marvelling at the historical links between Tibetan Buddhism and Indonesia’s Buddhist heritage. The artist says she is now working on the theme of political dynasties, a hot topic in Indonesia since the election of President Prabowo Subianto. Prabowo is a former son-in-law of Suharto and his vice-president is the son of the outgoing head of state Joko Widodo, in a country long known for its political nepotism. — AFPExploring the implications of the Supreme Court's decision on Hawaii's gun laws The U.S. Supreme Court recently opted not to review a case involving a Hawaii man charged with carrying a pistol while hiking. This ruling has ignited discussions around gun rights and regulations in the Aloha State, especially given its reputation for strict gun control measures. The case highlights not only the ongoing tension between state and federal interpretations of the Second Amendment but also reflects broader national conversations about gun ownership and public safety. The case in question revolved around an individual who faced criminal charges for carrying a firearm during a hike in Hawaii. The man sought to challenge these charges, arguing that they infringed upon his Second Amendment rights. However, the Supreme Court declined to take up his appeal, effectively upholding a ruling from Hawaii's top court that criticized attempts to broaden gun rights following recent decisions by the nation's highest court. In February 2024, the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a scathing response to what it deemed an overreach by conservative justices at the U.S. Supreme Court regarding interpretations of the Second Amendment. This ruling underscored the state's commitment to maintaining strict licensing requirements and highlighted its contrasting stance against more lenient views expressed by some justices. The rejection by the Supreme Court is more than just a legal technicality; it signals an ongoing struggle over gun rights across different states. While some states are moving towards looser regulations on firearms, others like Hawaii maintain stringent controls aimed at protecting public safety. The refusal to hear this case may set a precedent that discourages similar challenges in other jurisdictions where lawmakers have enacted tight restrictions. Proponents of stricter gun laws argue that such measures are essential for reducing crime rates and ensuring community safety. They point out that places with stringent regulations often experience lower incidences of gun violence compared to those with fewer restrictions. For them, this decision reaffirms their belief in prioritizing public safety over individual liberties when it comes to firearms. On the flip side, advocates for expanded gun rights see this as yet another example of judicial reluctance to embrace what they view as fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. They argue that individuals should have more autonomy over their ability to carry firearms for self-defense or personal freedom — especially in outdoor settings like hiking trails where one might encounter wildlife or other threats. While three justices expressed openness to revisiting issues surrounding gun rights in future cases, this particular rejection leaves many questions unanswered. As debates continue across various state legislatures and courts regarding how best to balance individual freedoms with societal safety, it remains clear that this topic will remain at the forefront of American legal discourse. As we await further developments from both state courts and possibly future cases presented before the U.S. Supreme Court, one thing is certain: discussions about firearm regulations will continue to shape political landscapes nationwide.

Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Armani Latimer brings her teammates to tears with powerful act By JANE HERZ FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 22:11 GMT, 10 December 2024 | Updated: 22:22 GMT, 10 December 2024 e-mail 13 shares View comments Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Armani Latimer, who recently spoke out about her alopecia, has gone viral after she performed at a game without a wig. For those who may be unfamiliar, alopecia is an autoimmune disease that can cause hair loss, primarily on the scalp, according to the Cleveland Clinic. It can affect different areas of the body, like the eyelashes and eyebrows. The viral video, which was posted on Instagram by the team , Latimer and a Cowboys community page, showed the behind-the-scenes of the cheerleader prepping for her performance this weekend, as she held hands with her team before taking the stage. 'You got this, Mani,' one of the girls can be heard saying to her. And, as they walked from the tunnel on to the stage, tons of squad members surrounded Latimer as they excitedly made their way to the field. When they finally got in their formation to perform on the turf, the DCC member could be seen wiping away a few tears from her eyes with a smile. The rest of the clip showed Latimer and her team performing their signature dances, including Thunderstruck.

The series chronicled their entire 2023-2024 season, including the grueling tryouts and practice schedules. 'You're representing a lot of little girls out there, and they're going to be looking at you, at awe in your strength knowing that they are going to feel so beautiful after this, because of what you're doing today,' one of her teammates could be heard saying in the background of the clip. 'We're just so proud of you,' they continued. The caption of the post read, 'Confidence takes center stage for Alopecia Awareness.' And, in the comments section of the post, Latimer was supported by her fellow Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, as they all wrote sweet messages for their teammate. 'THIS right here is why we dance. THIS is what DCC is all about. Thank you for showing the world your bravery, strength, and POWER. I LOVE YOU FOREVER MY GEORGIO!!,' Kleine Powell wrote. Reece Weaver also shared a heartwarming note, writing, 'It is truly one of the greatest honors to be your teammate... You have been made for such a time as this. I love you so much.' This past summer, the team was shot to fame for their documentary series which premiered on Netflix, called America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders In a new interview with Women's Health, Latimer opened up about her journey with the autoimmune disease, explaining that she was diagnosed when she was 12 years old 'I will cry every time I watch this. Armani you are truly my idol in every single way. You are embody everything a leader should be, have truly become my best friend, and my rock!! I’m so excited that the world gets to see how inspiring and amazing you are!!!!' Charly Barby agreed. In a new interview with Women's Health , Latimer opened up about her journey with the autoimmune disease, explaining that she was diagnosed when she was 12 years old. However, Latimer said that her hair fell out slowly, and all the way through high school, it was hard to tell she had the condition. But when she was in college, some stress started to get to her, and it caused more hair loss. 'Shortly after college, I auditioned to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and attempted to wear my hair naturally, but the demands of being a training camp candidate and trying to make the team caused my hair to fall out at a faster rate,' Latimer told the magazine. Eventually, once all of her hair fell out, she started to wear wigs. She admitted to the outlet that it was 'hard to navigate' her alopecia during the early days of her cheer career, but it was her friends and family who ultimately helped her maintain a 'positive mindset.' 'Over the years, the biggest challenge I had to overcome was being honest with myself,' Latimer told Women's Health. The Netflix series chronicled their entire 2023-2024 season, including the grueling tryouts and practice schedules 'Shortly after college, I auditioned to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and attempted to wear my hair naturally, but the demands of being a training camp candidate and trying to make the team caused my hair to fall out at a faster rate,' Latimer told the magazine 'Telling people about my alopecia areata wasn't hard, but fully accepting that my life looked a little different than everyone else's, especially being someone in the spotlight, was,' she continued. 'People see cheerleaders and assume they're flawless. While that's obviously not true, I still found myself having to unlearn idea that I needed to be perfect to be on the team.' During the interview, she also spoke about her decision to go without a wig for the game. The DCC star explained that sometimes, on social media, some people asked her if she would ever 'be open' to cheering without her wig, which was something she was 'unsure' about at first. 'But at the beginning of this season, something felt right about it, so I spoke to our director Kelli Finglass about the potential of going wig-free for our annual My Cause My Boots game, and she loved it,' Latimer said. 'At first, I was a bit scared to commit to it because doing a photoshoot or taking a video of yourself and posting it on social media is not in real time. 'Knowing that the game would be live in front of over 80 thousand people and I may end up on TV is a bit intimidating.' 'But I’m reminding myself that I’ll be out there dancing with my best friends, and my family will be there as well. I know that it’ll be an impactful moment for whoever it touches.'

Police have not publicly speculated on the motives of the person who shot at Thompson at least three times at close range Wednesday on a Manhattan sidewalk. But the sense that the shooting could be related to Thompson’s job and UnitedHealthcare’s reputation for denying care grew when it was revealed that one bullet casing found at the scene reportedly had the word “deny” scratched into it. UnitedHealthcare is a for-profit company, but it’s not proven whether it’s really more aggressive than other insurers at denying care or simply that it draws more attention as the nation’s largest health insurer. Public data sets on denial rates by insurance company are limited. But the shocking shooting has put new focus on the firm, its reputation and history. While the insurer grew into one of Minnesota’s largest employers and economic engines, the state declined for decades to license it or any other for-profit company to sell HMO plans. That prohibition was lifted in 2017 when Republican lawmakers sought to expand insurance options for Minnesotans, but then Democratic lawmakers in 2024 specifically prohibited for-profit HMOs such as UnitedHealth from selling plans in the state’s growing Medical Assistance program. “Let’s face it: For-profit companies exist to legally maximize shareholder value,” said Rep. Liz Reyer, DFL-Eagan, earlier this year when a court decision upheld Minnesota’s for-profit prohibition . “That’s their requirement.” The company has faced increasing public scrutiny and congressional inquires over its denials of care, especially to elderly participants in Medicare Advantage plans. A report by a U.S. Senate subcommittee last October scolded UnitedHealthcare for denying prior authorization requests for expensive post-acute care at three times the rate that it denied other requests. UnitedHealthcare in response said it still approves the vast majority of requests for post-acute care for patients after hospitalizations, and that it is federally required to give these claims heightened scrutiny. The company also has been accused of relying on a claims process, supported by artificial intelligence, that had a 90% error rate in determining whether a requested treatment was medically necessary. UnitedHealthcare announced as recently as March 2023 that it was dialing back some requirements for prior authorizations , but the publicly traded company is always going to face opposing pressures, said Wendell Potter, a former Cigna vice president who has since become a whistleblower on the industry’s practices. An increase in spending on patients’ care caused the stock of UnitedHealthcare’s parent company to drop as much as 8% this fall, putting it under pressure from investors and analysts. “It’s a company that has been a Wall Street darling,” Potter said, “and the way you become a Wall Street darling is you do a really good job of managing medical expense. It means you need to employ things like prior authorization and do it aggressively.” Thompson’s widow, Paulette, told NBC News after Wednesday’s shooting that her husband had received threats related to UnitedHealthcare’s denial of medical coverage. Some people on social media were brutally unsympathetic. “When you shoot one man in the street it’s murder,” one person posted on the social media site X. “When you kill thousands of people in hospitals by taking away their ability to get treatment you’re an entrepreneur.” Potter said the murder became an opportunity for some to publicly vent about UnitedHealthcare, because “nothing like this has ever happened before.” The volume of criticism also relates to the insurer’s size — it now covers roughly 47 million people through private plans it sells to employers or individuals, and public plans it offers through the government’s Medicare program for the elderly and Medicaid program for low-income and disabled Americans. Parent company UnitedHealth Group is in the top five of the Fortune 500 list, closely behind Apple, and has become a major health-care provider as well, employing or having affiliations with 10% of the nation’s physicians through its Optum division. A cyberattack against Optum’s Change Healthcare division earlier this year affected 100 million patients, making it one of the largest data breaches in U.S. history. Some health care providers reported months-long delays in payments of claims in the aftermath of the cyberattack, and Andrew Witty, CEO of parent company UnitedHealth Group, was brought before Congress to testify about it. “There’s a lot of just pent-up outrage at this company and other companies that are middle-men that are standing between a patient and his or her doctor or hospital,” Potter said. Minnesota health care providers have reported excessively high rates of denials by UnitedHealth Care, but comparative data is limited and the company disputes some of those claims as attempts to gain leverage in contract negotiations. The federal government compares individual plans under the Affordable Care Act by their claims and denial rates, and showed in 2021 that UnitedHealth’s qualified health plans in Arizona denied almost 39% of in-network claims. That was higher than the average denial rate of about 17% for comparable plans nationwide, but wasn’t unique, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation analysis . Seventeen insurers posted denial rates above 30% that year. Matthew Viergutz of Lutsen, Minn., filed a lawsuit against UnitedHealthcare last year because he had received prescriptions and insurance coverage since 2009 to receive two pills per day of a medication known as Vyvanse until UnitedHealth took over his employer health plan. The lawsuit says three psychiatrists in different states independently authorized two pills per day to help Viergutz manage his mental health condition, but the insurer would only pay for one. Viergutz spent thousands out of pocket to cover the difference over the last two years. His lawsuit claims that UnitedHealthcare made its decision without any investigation or familiarity with his medical condition or prescription history. UnitedHealthcare argued in response that its decision was legal and within coverage guidelines. Stories of denials are common, said Unai Montes, a media strategist for People’s Action, an advocacy group that has conducted public protests of UnitedHealthcare, including one that resulted in multiple arrests earlier this year outside the insurer’s Minnetonka headquarters. He recalled a baby born prematurely who was initially denied intensive care and a child with congenital abnormalities who was initially denied coverage of a life-saving surgery. Montes expressed sorrow over Thompson’s death and sympathy for his family. Changing the health care system needs to happen through a “non-violent, productive and democratic process,” he added. “We are against senseless killing and we are against senseless death,” he said, “and we want to make sure we are preventing senseless death and senseless loss of life by taking on a broken system and making sure companies are not putting profits over people.” Staff writer Christopher Snowbeck contributed to this article.
