That diversity and its impact came into plain view when the researchers started experimenting with the rodents' diet. When one group of mice was fed a typical Western diet, high in fat and sugars, they tended to gain weight and grow more Firmicutes gut bacteria and fewer Bacteroidetes. In mice given a low-fat plant-based chow, the distribution of the two groups of bugs flipped and the animals remained lean. It's not clear whether the balance of gut bugs causes weight gain or is a result of it, but the findings suggest that a "gut profile" could potentially...

One of them was especially notorious. “I’ve seen him at an MIT ‘Rock Band’ event. He didn’t even have a single facial expression as he got 99 percent on expert”, said Yvette N. Saenz...
...researchers found that shoplifting - or what's euphemistically known as product "shrinkage" - jumped 5.9% in the past year at the more than 1,000 retail chains the group surveyed globally.

In terms of total losses, retailers in North America topped the charts at $46 billion, followed by Europe's $44 billion and $17.9 billion in the Asia-Pacific region.
