Peso Pluma BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Peso Pluma has set the Latin music scene abuzz in the past few days with a whirlwind of headline-making activity. Rolling Stone reports that the breakout star capped off July by dropping a new single titled Gervonta, a luxe anthem referencing boxer Gervonta Davis who even promoted the release on his own Instagram story. This marks Peso Pluma's first major release since his album Exodo, and once again spotlights his signature blend of extravagance, fame, and Mexican musical roots. On the business front, Variety highlights his meteoric rise with the upcoming release of his new album Genesis, a project he has been developing over the past year in partnership with Double P Records and Prajin Music Group. Peso's genre-spanning collaborations draw in heavy-hitters from Mexico and Puerto Rico and have helped secure his place among Spotify's most-streamed global artists.However, Peso Pluma's fame isn't without its controversies. Parriva reports that on July 25, he received public warnings regarding his songs' alleged links to organized crime, raising ongoing discussions about the cultural influence and social responsibilities of regional Mexican music's leading lights. While these warnings have reignited debates on censorship and artistic expression, there is currently no evidence of official action against Peso Pluma.The singer's personal life has drawn as much attention as his music. According to People and AOL, Peso Pluma's relationship drama with Argentinian singer Nicki Nicole has been splashed all over social media this week. After footage surfaced of Peso holding hands with another woman at a Las Vegas casino during Super Bowl weekend, Nicki Nicole released a pointed Instagram Story about love and respect, all but confirming the end of their high-profile romance. In the wake of the breakup, AOL notes that his relationship with model Hanna Howell has become increasingly public, starting to make headlines in their own right.Onstage, Peso Pluma's dominance remains clear. The Fresno Bee covers his recent arena tour stop, describing a production that elevates Mexican corrido culture to new heights of mainstream visibility and impact. Clips circulating on Instagram show fans dissecting streaming numbers from his most recent album and reminiscing over past collaborations, underscoring how every public move makes waves in the music community.As Baja Beach Fest draws near with Peso Pluma in the headline mix, his past week reflects both his superstar allure and the persistent scrutiny of public life at the summit of Latin music. With chart-topping releases, headline-grabbing relationships, and the scrutiny of cultural watchdogs, Peso Pluma's every step keeps fans and critics glued to the latest from música Mexicana's hottest name.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Send us a textThis conversation is the second segment of  SurfingMASH's coverage of the Global Think Tank on Steatotic Liver Diseases (#SLDThinkTank2025) held in Barcelona in June.  It focuses on the kinds of feedback most likely to produce successful behavioral interventions.The conversation begins with Jörn discussing the Liver Screen Study, a "very ambitious effort" that starts with 30,000 members of the general European population, narrows down to a subgroup with liver disease, and then provides these individuals with information about MASLD and how to manage it, ultimately evaluating its impact. Many of these people did not know about liver disease before being informed they had it, and many changed their behavior as a result. Jörn links this to the EASL Amsterdam activity discussed last week in 6.7.1 and 6.7.2.   Louise relates a story of speaking with Laurent Sandrin, Chairman of Echosens and inventor of FibroScan, who was "blown away by the reaction" to making FibroScans available and promoting this fact. Louise explained to Laurent that from her vantage point, FibroScan is "more than just the physical diagnostic. It has the power to engage populations," and, for many, provide the information and motivation they need to change behavior. Kristina describes how we can provide "biofeedback" like this, along with other behavioral strategies, to produce sustainable behavior change, which is far harder for an individual than simply reacting to a medical scare. She describes a model she deploys, the "Combi" model, which integrates an array of informational, motivational and behavioral items into an integrated, individualized approach. The conversation shifts to focus on environmental factors that work against long-term change. For someone with alcohol use disorder, this might be a family member who continues to consume large quantities of alcohol frequently. For someone living with obesity, it might be a favorite high-calorie dish...or even simply food advertising.In the final part of this conversation, Jörn states that the Think Tank steering committee invited politicians to help them understand why certain kinds of interventions — such as taxing medically harmful goods or limiting advertising — might be socially valuable, even if unpopular. The group discussed some governmental tactics that are effective and others that are not.

Podcast: Industrial Cybersecurity InsiderEpisode: Breaking Down the IT-OT Wall: Why IT Cybersecurity Tools Fail on the Plant FloorPub date: 2025-07-08Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn this episode, Dino Busalachi and Craig Duckworth tackle a critical disconnect plaguing industrial organizations: the disconnect in understanding and communication between IT and OT regarding industrial cybersecurity. While some IT departments are investing in OT cybersecurity platforms, 85% of the data these tools collect is designed for OT teams to act upon. Unfortunately, plant floor personnel, system integrators, and OEMs working in these environments rarely get access to dashboards, asset inventories, or vulnerability reports.Organizations must move beyond the "oil and water" mentality between IT and OT. This means involving plant personnel in cybersecurity decisions, sharing data with trusted partners who "build the cars" (not just buy them), and recognizing that effective OT security requires collaboration with the people who live and breathe on the plant floor every day.Bottom Line: If you're not sharing cybersecurity data with your system integrators, OEMs, and plant operations teams, you're not practicing true IT-OT convergence. You're missing critical opportunities to improve your security posture where it matters most.Chapters:00:00:00 - Why Local Collaboration is Critical for Cybersecurity Success00:01:07 - Meet Dino and Craig: Experts in IT/OT Integration00:01:49 - Unpacking the Challenges of IT/OT Convergence00:02:28 - Why IT and OT Teams Often Struggle to Align00:04:48 - Building Collaborative Frameworks for Stronger Cybersecurity00:07:33 - The Role of CIOs and CISOs in Driving Change00:08:44 - Navigating the Complexities of Diverse Plant Environments00:10:23 - Partnering with Vendors to Enhance Security Outcomes00:11:16 - Key Questions to Evaluate System Integrators Effectively00:16:35 - Using Tabletop Exercises to Align IT and OT Teams00:22:20 - Closing Thoughts: Bridging the Divide for Unified CybersecurityLinks And Resources:Want to Sponsor an episode or be a Guest?

The workplace has never been more generationally diverse. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z, four generations are now working side by side (and virtually). But what does that really mean for your team or business? Generational researcher, consultant, speaker, and podcast host Meghan Grace says it comes down to “toggle leadership” - the ability to flex your leadership style, communication, and motivation strategies based on who you're working with. A big part of Meghan's professional journey has centered around researching generations and founding the Institute for Generational Research and Education (IGRE) - a hub for training, insight, and thought leadership on generational dynamics. Meghan joined me on the Podcast: A Better HR Business, to talk about: Navigating the complexities of a four-generation workforce. Debunking generational myths that affect team dynamics. The value of customized generational training for organizations. Evolving work motivations and generational drivers. Tailoring communication for diverse generational preferences. Practicing “toggle leadership” to lead multigenerational teams. Maintaining authenticity in business and marketing. Embracing portfolio careers for flexibility and growth. And much more. In our conversation, Meghan shared practical tips for HR consultants, managers, and leaders on working with multigenerational teams, connecting with different age groups through authentic marketing, and using generational insights to improve business results.

Episode Summary: Our calling as men, to help others flourish, means helping our daughters and granddaughters build confidence in the way God created them to be female. Gender differences are profoundly related to our sense of identity. Before helping men know how to winsomely explain the biblical worldview of gender, the podcast identifies two big obstacles that routinely prevent others from being open to the biblical worldview. This episode then articulates the glory of God's design of humans as male and female. It then suggests questions men might asked their daughters or granddaughters to open their hearts to the biblical view of gender.For Further Prayerful Thought:The best way to teach female loved ones the biblical worldview of gender is by exhibiting godly manhood. What are some places you can improve your commitment to helping others flourish?What have been the objections you have heard to the biblical worldview of gender. Which parts of the biblical picture might they be missing?Recommended Resource:  The Meaning of Marriage; Facing the Complexities of Commitment With the Wisdom of God, by Tim and Kathy Keller.  For the printed version of this message click here.For a summary of topics addressed by podcast series, click here.For FREE downloadable studies on men's issues click here.To make an online contribution to enable others to hear about the podcast: (Click link and scroll down to bottom left)

In this episode of "Decoding Academia: Required Readings", Chris and Matt take a joint stroll through the history of Buddhism through Donald S. Lopez Jr.'s latest book, 'Buddhism: A Journey Through History.' We discuss the unexpected historical and cultural facets of Buddhism, how modern interpretations can often romanticise ancient practices, and whether Matt's mind has been blown. We also consider important issues like the Buddha's retractable penis, incredibly long tongue, and just how strongly we should condemn monks scribbling pictures of their would-be brides. So join us in the cycle of samsara as we strive to earn some merit and at least crawl a little closer to enlightenment.Book ReviewedLopez, D. S. (2025). Buddhism: A Journey through History.
