The butterfly effect is the idea that a small change in one part of the world can have huge consequences in another. It is often used as a metaphor for how our actions can shape the future in unpredictable ways. The term was coined by the American mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who was studying the behavior of weather systems. He discovered that even tiny variations in the initial conditions of a weather model could lead to vastly different outcomes over time. He illustrated this with the example of a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil and causing a tornado in Texas. What kind of systems exhibit the butterfly effect?

Released in the shadow of DeepSeek, a China-built AI model that rocked the U.S. market in January owing to its advanced capabilities and low cost, Manus became an overnight hit. The product, which used models from Anthropic and others to produce detailed research reports and perform a host of other tasks, showcased the talents of China's entrepreneurs and startups in a burgeoning global battle for AI supremacy.知识点：gather v. /ˈɡæðər/to come together in one place. 聚集，集合e.g. The family gathers for a big dinner every Sunday. 这家人每周日都会聚在一起吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Meta compra Manus, una startup de agentes de inteligencia artificial autónomos que ya genera más de cien millones de dólares al añoPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoMeta acaba de cerrar una de las compras más comentadas del año en inteligencia artificial. La empresa de Mark Zuckerberg va a integrar agentes autónomos capaces de trabajar casi sin intervención humana. Se trata de Manus, una startup fundada por emprendedores chinos y hoy con sede en Singapur, que ya tiene millones de usuarios de pago y más de cien millones de dólares en ingresos anuales. ¿Qué cambia cuando una inteligencia artificial deja de responder y empieza a actuar por su cuenta?Cuando la inteligencia artificial deja de chatear y empieza a tomar decisiones.Meta Platforms ha anunciado la compra de Manus, una startup de inteligencia artificial que se ha hecho famosa por una idea muy concreta: crear agentes que trabajan de forma autónoma. Estos agentes reciben una instrucción general, planifican los pasos, ejecutan tareas complejas y entregan un resultado final sin que el usuario tenga que intervenir todo el tiempo.Manus nació en China en el año dos mil veintidós dentro de una empresa llamada Butterfly Effect. Con el aumento de las tensiones tecnológicas entre Estados Unidos y China, la empresa trasladó su sede a Singapur y dejó de operar en territorio chino. Desde allí lanzó su producto al mercado global.En pocos meses, Manus aseguró haber conseguido millones de usuarios y más de cien millones de dólares en ingresos recurrentes al año, gracias a suscripciones mensuales y anuales. Esa cifra llamó la atención de Meta, que lleva años apostándolo todo a la inteligencia artificial.—La gran pregunta es qué diferencia a Manus de otros asistentes como los chatbots tradicionales. La respuesta está en el nivel de autonomía. Mientras la mayoría de herramientas actuales esperan instrucciones paso a paso, Manus afirma que sus agentes pueden encargarse de todo el proceso.Por ejemplo, pueden hacer una investigación de mercado completa, analizar datos financieros, revisar hojas de vida, escribir código o planear un viaje entero. Todo con una sola orden inicial. Para muchos expertos, esto marca un cambio profundo en cómo usamos la inteligencia artificial en el trabajo diario.Pero también aparecen dudas. Manus fue fundada por emprendedores chinos y tuvo inversión de empresas de ese país. En Estados Unidos, cualquier proyecto de inteligencia artificial con raíces chinas despierta preocupación política. Algunos senadores ya han cuestionado el origen del capital y el acceso a datos sensibles. Meta ha respondido que, tras la compra, no quedará ninguna participación china y que Manus dejará cualquier operación pendiente en China.Meta ha sido clara en su estrategia. Manus va a seguir funcionando como servicio independiente, con sus planes de suscripción actuales, pero sus agentes se van a integrar poco a poco en productos como Facebook, Instagram y WhatsApp, donde ya existe Meta AI.La idea encaja con la visión de Mark Zuckerberg sobre una inteligencia artificial personal, presente en el día a día de las personas y las empresas. Meta quiere que estos agentes ayuden a organizar negocios pequeños, responder clientes, analizar información y automatizar tareas repetitivas.Según reportes de medios como The Wall Street Journal y Reuters, la operación estaría valorada entre dos mil y tres mil millones de dólares. Esto convierte a Manus en una de las compras más grandes de Meta en inteligencia artificial aplicada al mundo real, con ingresos comprobados.Para Meta, hay un mensaje claro hacia inversores y competidores. Esta vez no se trata solo de investigación, sino de una inteligencia artificial que ya gana dinero y que puede escalar a miles de millones de usuarios.La compra de Manus no llega sola. Durante este año, Meta ha acelerado su gasto en inteligencia artificial. En junio invirtió más de catorce mil millones de dólares para quedarse con casi la mitad de Scale AI, una empresa especializada en datos para entrenar modelos. También ha fichado talento directamente de empresas rivales como OpenAI y Google.Manus, por su parte, asegura haber procesado más de ciento cuarenta y siete billones de tokens de texto y datos, y haber creado más de ochenta millones de computadoras virtuales para ejecutar tareas de forma paralela. Son cifras enormes, pensadas para mostrar músculo tecnológico.Antes de la compra, Manus fue comparada con DeepSeek, otro desarrollo chino que llamó la atención por su rendimiento. Incluso Microsoft llegó a probar sus agentes en Windows once para crear páginas web a partir de archivos locales.Ahora, con Meta detrás, el reto será ganar la confianza de empresas que han visto a Meta envuelta en polémicas por el uso de datos. La pregunta ya no es si los agentes autónomos funcionan, sino quién se atreverá a usarlos a gran escala.Meta apuesta fuerte por una inteligencia artificial que actúa sola y ya genera ingresos reales. Manus pasa de startup prometedora a pieza central del futuro de Meta. La carrera por los agentes autónomos acaba de acelerar. Cuéntanos qué opinas y sigue Flash Diario en Spotify.

In this episode, Phia Group legends – CLO Ron Peck and EVP Jen McCormick – dive deep into waters rarely discussed.  They contemplate how the rising costs of healthcare impact employers and their employees in areas outside of healthcare – from hiring to counting steps.  Join them as they share insight into this, and how to get employees and their families to embrace healthcare literacy, and positively impact aspects of their lives beyond “just healthcare.”

Average and Whip talk about everything from holiday traditions to the interconnectedness of every life choice and just how much different everything might be if different choices might have been made.

Every family has an origin story—and it's not always the one told at holidays. In this episode, Tony explores the fascinating concept of the butterfly effect and how it applies to family systems. From a scientist's obsession with Gila monster saliva that led to Ozempic, to a wrong turn that ignited World War I, small moments can create massive ripples. But what happens when the butterfly in your family isn't an event—it's a person? Through the story of "Uncle Ray," Tony unpacks how one emotionally overwhelmed parent can set patterns that echo for decades, and how family roles—the helper, the peacekeeper, the fixer, the scapegoat—get assigned long before we're even aware of them. You'll learn about the patterns of emotional immaturity (black-and-white thinking, mind reading, magical thinking, and more) and how they show up in everyday family dynamics. Most importantly, Tony shares the hopeful truth: the butterfly effect works both ways. One person's dysfunction can ripple through generations—but so can one person's healing. If you've ever wondered how to break cycles in your own family or show up differently this holiday season, this episode is for you. 00:00 Introduction: Family Dynamics and Roles 01:05 The Butterfly Effect in Families 03:02 Crossover Episode: Emotional Immaturity and Family Systems 04:36 The Butterfly Effect: Scientific Examples 10:02 The Butterfly Effect in Family Systems 14:33 Uncle Ray: The Catalyst of Chaos 23:25 Pathological Kindness: Janet's Role 27:39 Emotional Immaturity: Patterns and Consequences 33:10 Black and White Thinking 33:40 Mind Reading and Assumed Intent 34:28 Difficulty with Accountability 35:39 Emotional Reasoning 36:35 External Validation Dependence 37:58 Magical Thinking 39:03 Managing Other People's Emotions 40:40 The Butterfly Effect in Family Dynamics 41:15 Curiosity and Emotional Maturity 43:28 Reconnecting with Uncle Dave 51:30 The Impact of Family Systems 55:55 The Cost of Emotional Immaturity 58:25 Breaking the Cycle 58:45 Setting Boundaries and Responding Differently 01:02:38 Hope and Creating Positive Ripples Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

What do you do when someone in your family needs drama to feel alive? In this crossover episode, Tony dives deep into the anatomy of emotional immaturity through the story of "Uncle Ray"—a family member whose constant need for conflict, grievance, and the "one-up position" sent shockwaves through an entire family system. Tony breaks down the key patterns of emotional immaturity you'll recognize: black-and-white thinking, assumed intent without curiosity, difficulty with accountability, emotional reasoning ("I feel it, so it must be true"), external validation dependence, magical thinking, and the exhausting game of "whack-a-mole" that comes with trying to have a conversation with someone who's looking for attack surfaces rather than connection. You'll also learn about "pathological kindness"—the breakup-resistant dynamic that keeps enablers locked in relationships with emotionally immature people—and how these patterns get passed down through generations. Tony traces Uncle Ray's patterns back to his mother's divorce and the emotional template that shaped him, showing how one grandmother's pain rippled forward into holiday traditions lost and family relationships fractured. If you have an Uncle Ray in your life, this episode offers clarity: you can't change them, but you can set boundaries, refuse triangulation, grieve the family you wished you had, and become the catalyst for a different kind of ripple in your own family system. 00:00 Introduction: Family Dynamics and Roles 01:05 The Butterfly Effect in Families 03:02 Crossover Episode: Emotional Immaturity and Family Systems 04:36 The Butterfly Effect: Scientific Examples 10:02 The Butterfly Effect in Family Systems 14:33 Uncle Ray: The Catalyst of Chaos 23:25 Pathological Kindness: Janet's Role 27:39 Emotional Immaturity: Patterns and Consequences 33:10 Black and White Thinking 33:40 Mind Reading and Assumed Intent 34:28 Difficulty with Accountability 35:39 Emotional Reasoning 36:35 External Validation Dependence 37:58 Magical Thinking 39:03 Managing Other People's Emotions 40:40 The Butterfly Effect in Family Dynamics 41:15 Curiosity and Emotional Maturity 43:28 Reconnecting with Uncle Dave 51:30 The Impact of Family Systems 55:55 The Cost of Emotional Immaturity 58:25 Breaking the Cycle 58:45 Setting Boundaries and Responding Differently 01:02:38 Hope and Creating Positive Ripples Contact Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com to learn more about his Emotional Architects men's group.

I want you to think about a specific moment that changed you forever...

What happens when the pursuit of belonging turns darkly funny, heartbreakingly real, and deeply human? Rebecca Greene sits down with Oxford PhD student and author Heather Colley to explore her brilliant debut novel The Gilded Butterfly Effect, a darkly observant look at campus life, beauty culture, and the messy search for belonging. Together they unpack how sorority life, loneliness, and female friendship collide in unexpected ways. Heather shares the inspiration behind her unforgettable characters Penny and Stella, the Shakespearean roots of her title, and why fiction helps us feel less alone. Through laughter and reflection, Rebecca and Heather explore why young women crave connection, how easily identity gets lost in the crowd, and why every generation faces its own version of the fitting in struggle. It's a raw, smart, and deeply relatable conversation about growing up, finding yourself, and learning that sometimes being different is the truest form of belonging. KEY TAKEAWAYS→ Belonging can bring both comfort and confusion→ Fiction helps readers feel less alone in their experiences→ Female friendships are often messy, layered, and deeply real→ Loneliness hides even in the most social places→ Finding your people takes time and self-awareness→ Parents can support young adults by listening, not judging Quote from Heather“Finding the right people is everything. The book is really about what happens when you're not with the right people and how easy it is to lose yourself trying to belong.” — Heather Colley Call to ActionFind The Gilded Butterfly Effect wherever books are sold and follow Heather at heathercolleyauthor.com or on Instagram @heathercolleyauthor Learn more about your ad choices.

Kevin Boston-Hill speaks with author and PhD student Heather Colley about her new book, The Gilded Butterfly Effect, that deals with the not-so-good social aspect of higher education and what students can do to not lose themselves in the social atmosphere.

Salty Chat with Author Heather Colley and her debut novel that dropped on Oct 21, 2025, 'The Gilded Butterfly' a hilarious but unflinching look at today's U.S. college campus experience, from the highs and lows of the non-stop party scene to the absurdities of modern psychiatric care, the implications of prescription drug abuse and campus sexual assault. Heather is a PhD student in English Literature at Oxford University. She holds a master's degree in literature from St Andrews University and a bachelor's degree in the same subject from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. Her short fiction has won awards including the Oxford Review of Books short fiction prize, the Hopwood Award, the BNU-Oxford short fiction prize (runner-up), and the Desperate Literature Prize shortlist.Book Lovers, grab a copy: The Gilded Butterfly EffectSupport with Tips via Cashapp or PaypalRed Light Therapy BeltAcupressure Mat & Pillow Set Get Hulu FREE for 30 Days Try Armra Colostrum 30% Off80% Off First Order Fabletics50% Off F Factor Meals50% Off AAA The Real Law of AttractionEarth's Healing & Grounding ToolAnti Aging Hacks(aff)

A glittering sorority house. A basement ritual. Two girls trying to survive the performance. We dive into Heather Cawley's Gilded Butterfly Effect with clear eyes and a full breakdown of why this debut hits like a bruise: parties that feel like auditions, therapy that feels like a pharmacy, and friendships that flare hot in a world built to look away.We start with Stella, the curated “it” girl who micromanages pills and persona, and Penny, the outsider who wants to be seen so badly she mistakes attention for care. Their connection is electric and messy—equal parts comfort and misread—and it's the fragile center of a story that asks how far you'll go to feel safe in spaces designed for spectacle. Along the way we unpack the campus ecosystem: long counseling waitlists, parental posturing during football weekends, and the hush around hazing that reduces girls to proof. The pig roast isn't just a plot device; it's a map of power, consent, and the kind of loyalty that turns people into collateral.Jack and Tripp anchor the spectrum of harm—the “nice” pledge with a soft voice and the golden boy who treats conquest as currency. We talk about complicity that hides in manners, why evidence disappears so easily, and how performative grief replaces accountability once the headlines fade. If you care about feminist fiction, campus novels, and the mechanics of coercion, this conversation goes deep: body image, drug culture, projection in therapy, and the ethics of silence when warning a friend might change everything.We close with honest takeaways and a grounded 3.5 rating: not for shock value, but for the way this book names what too many institutions still stage-manage.

Healing is the Butterfly Effect in motion, every small act of self-awareness creates a ripple that transforms the whole of who you are. Just as a butterfly's wings can shift the wind, your decision to heal, even quietly, can change the entire atmosphere of your life.” ~ Moya Rang~

The butterfly effect is crazy because what if soda companies never successfully used the “flavor enhancer” argument with the FDA almost a half-century ago...the almost $26 billion U.S. energy drinks market likely wouldn't exist today! Though, before we get into that FDA decision from 1980, you must first understand that the original recipes of both Coca-Cola and Pepsi included kola nuts, which contained caffeine but also provided a distinctive bitter flavor. Eventually, largely due to concerns about cost and product consistency…the “cola” flavor we recognize today is not the taste of the kola nut itself. Instead, it's a complex blend of multiple ingredients (including a standardized, isolated form of caffeine). So, with that industry shift in product and supply chain strategy, it no longer mattered if you were a cola beverage or a citrus-flavored soda like Mountain Dew…caffeine became a food additive. And that means…when the Tip Corporation acquired Mountain Dew from its founders in 1960, its decision to revamp the recipe (adding more caffeine than the typical cola) wasn't just paramount to the beverage's success but also to our butterfly effect. But throughout the 1970s, health concerns surrounding caffeine intensified…and by 1980, consumer advocacy groups started petitioning the FDA to remove caffeine from its "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) food additives list. But in response to the FDA questioning the GRAS status of caffeine, packaged beverage manufacurers argued that they used the ingredient as a "flavor enhancer," not for its stimulant effects. Though, in the fall of 1980, the FDA proposed that caffeine be removed from the "Generally Recognized as Safe" (GRAS) list but stopped short of banning it, citing the need for further safety tests. Instead, the FDA made caffeine an interim food additive…and in the meantime, placed a limit on the amount that could be added to carbonated soft drinks. This decision was widely criticized by consumer advocacy groups, who proclaimed the FDA caved to the powerful beverage industry. But maybe even more infuriating, the FDA proposal to remove caffeine from the GRAS list (essentially reclassifying caffeine as a drug), which would have obviously put significant restrictions on its use in foods and beverages, was never finalized. But the ensuing regulatory uncertainty created a new pathway for beverages with high caffeine levels to enter the market under a different category. Under the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), ingredients like caffeine were presumed safe for use in dietary supplements unless the FDA could prove otherwise. This created basically a dual regulatory system where the same ingredient (caffeine) was treated differently depending on the product classification…allowing dietary supplement companies to develop and market “drinks” with much higher caffeine levels. And it resulted in the development of an entirely new beverage category, with modern energy drinks like Red Bull entering the U.S. market about three decades ago. This butterfly effect was crazy, right? If soda companies never successfully used the “flavor enhancer” argument with the FDA in 1980, today's U.S. energy drinks market wouldn't be $26 billion dollars in retail sales. Moreover, energy drinks would not have become status symbols…or basically aspirational mixtures, representing lifestyle taste and identity by association, making it arguably the most important beverage category.

The first-ever live recording from an elusive icon of dubby electronic music. Lore is an underrated quality. Neuroscientists have mapped that music elicits similar feelings in the brain to when we satiate cravings, but what about the psychological impulse that drives listeners of a certain disposition toward everything they don't know? It's tricky to put your finger on, but artists able to conjure intrigue without overhawking the backstory can really cut through—just ask SAULT, [ar:pi:ar] or Gerald Donald. Then there are those who don't try whatsoever. These are the ones who stay in mind the most. In 2001, a striking 12" called Ship-Scope emerged through Chain Reaction, credited to Shinichi Atobe, with no other info available. Okay, mulled fans, this is probably a cat-and-mouse game dreamed up by someone on a label with a fine line in foggy obfuscation. Vainqueur on a wind-up? Another Moritz 'n Mark alias? But no: Atobe was real, and really had posted a demo to Hard Wax. It was that simple. Then he went back to his day job—until, after 13 years of silence, an even better follow-up emerged. From the near-perfect Butterfly Effect onwards, Atobe has built up one of the most revered catalogues in underground circles. A steady clip of elegant, transportive dub techno and deep electronics has arrived on Demdike Stare's DDS, complimented by the launch of his own label, plastic & sounds, earlier in summer 2025. Atobe has also made strides into the public domain, DJing intermittently, as well as performing live for the first time in 2023, gracing WWW at the tender age of 52. It's that debut 2023 show heard on RA.1009: a hypnotic yet comparatively pumping set full of unreleased Atobe material you won't find anywhere else. Contact with Atobe, as you might anticipate, is glacial: since we first reached out, the RA Mix has changed name, look and rolled over into its second millennium. Still, patience pays off. This is a one-off we're stoked to run. @shinichiatobe Find the interview at https://ra.co/podcast/1028

The phrase “Have faith in God” is far more profound than we realize. It's not passive belief; it's an active choice to trust God over your own sensory knowledge. We must recognize that the world system is constantly being manipulated, designed to cause us to think opposite of the Word of God. Choosing to trust in the reality of God’s infinite truth is the key to living a successful life. Tune in as Pastor Mark A. Stroud delivers the powerful message, "Fight for Love" which is "Have Faith in God," Part 2, and learn how to make that essential choice.

Choosing to trust in the reality of God’s infinite truth is the key to living a successful life. Tune in as Pastor Mark A. Stroud delivers the powerful message, "Fight for Love" which is "Have Faith in God," Part 2, and learn how to make that essential choice.
