3. Fosse -- Fosse Shopping
   Bob Fosse was an innovative choreographer and had multiple achievements in his life. During The Pajama Game, Fosse showed the audience a key element of his choreography, something that he considered crucial; the element of surprise. For Damn Yankees, Fosse took a great deal of inspiration from the “father of theatrical jazz dance,” Jack Cole. He ... took influence from Jerome Robbins. New Girl in Town also gave Fosse the inspiration to direct and choreograph his next piece because of the conflict of interest within the collaborators. During Redhead, Fosse utilized one of the first ballet sequences in a show that contained five different styles of dance; Fosse’s jazz, a cancan, a gypsy dance, a march, and an “old-fashioned English music hall number.” The Conquering Hero, was Fosse’s most challenging piece.

Georgia decided to split off its holiday for energy-efficient products for personal use and hold that holiday in October, while keeping its school-supplies holiday in August. In the past, both had been held the same weekend in August.

6. School Supplies -- Children
   A company selling children's toys and school supplies has settled charges with the FTC for violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

CARU said it contacted the company about changing its privacy practices, but that it failed to comply.
