    Rules for Chart Eligibility Albums January 2020 Official Charts Operations Team 020 7620 7450 [email protected] www.officialcharts.com Rules for Chart Eligibility January 2020 INTRODUCTION The following Chart Rules exist to determine eligibility for entry into the Official UK Album Charts. The aim of the Rules is to protect the integrity of the Charts and to ensure that they are an accurate reflection of the popularity of each recording by reference to genuine transactions. The Rules apply equally to all companies issuing and/or distributing recordings. They set out the conditions on which an album will be eligible for inclusion in the Chart. The rules also apply to the UK’s Official genre charts, subject to variation where appropriate. It should be noted that record companies and distributors remain free to package and market their products in any way they choose. However, releases which do not comply with the Rules will not be eligible to be included in the Chart. The Chart Rules are issued by the Official Charts Company in conjunction with the Chart Supervisory Committee (CSC) under the supervision of the Official Charts Company board. The Official Charts Company is responsible for interpreting and applying the Chart Rules on a day-to-day basis under the supervision of the CSC. The Official Charts Company may, at its discretion, refer any matter concerning the interpretation of the Chart Rules with respect to one or more recordings to the CSC, a designated sub-committee of the CSC or the board, for a decision. The decision of the board will be final.

  • Dibartolo European Bakery to Celebrate Grand Opening in Downtown Haddonfield
    DiBartolo European Bakery to Celebrate Grand Opening in Downtown Haddonfield Haddonfield, NJ, December 2, 2020 – DiBartolo European Bakery is pleased to announce the official Grand Opening of a second location in Haddonfield, NJ. The celebration will begin on Saturday, December 5, 2020, at 1pm with an outdoor ribbon-cutting ceremony with Haddonfield’s Deputy Mayor Jeff Kasko and Remi Fortunato, retail recruiter. The community is invited to stop by and enjoy complimentary pastries and punch from 1pm to 3pm. All who visit are asked to practice social distancing and adhere to face-covering requirements. You might recognize the DiBartolo name for the infamous custom cake creations of Al DiBartolo, Jr., a veteran of food TV shows like Food Network’s “Holiday Wars” and TLC’s “Next Great Baker, “to name a few. What began in 1969 as a family-owned and operated bakery in Pennsauken, NJ, evolved into a neighborhood staple in Collingswood, NJ, with quite a loyal following. The Collingswood location will continue to function both as a retail storefront and production bakery for custom specialty and wedding cakes. The new location will carry DiBartolo’s signature items, including Italian rum cake, pound cake, and cupcakes. In addition to these fan favorites, they’ve introduced an expansive new menu of specialty desserts, including macarons, eclairs, and new signature cakes like Mango Mousse, with layers of vanilla cake and mango mousse, and German Chocolate, layered chocolate cake with coconut filling, chocolate ganache, and toasted coconut. The intimate seating area adjacent to the glass bakery cases, packed with colorful pastries, is a perfect setting for enjoying a light lunch menu of soup, salads, and sandwiches like the Autostrada Panini with mortadella, coppa, soppressata, prosciutto cotto, fontina, pepperoncini mayo on Tuscan loaf or the Turkey, Pancetta, Avocado & Brie with fig and balsamic mayo on multigrain bread.

  • We'll Have a Gay Ol'time: Trangressive Sexulaity and Sexual Taboo In
    We’ll have a gay ol’ time: transgressive sexuality and sexual taboo in adult television animation By Adam de Beer Thesis Presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Film Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and the Centre for Film and Media Studies UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN UniversityFebruary of 2014Cape Town Supervisor: Associate Professor Martin P. Botha The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University of Cape Town Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cape Town. It has not been submitted before for any other degree or examination at any other university. Adam de Beer February 2014 ii Abstract This thesis develops an understanding of animation as transgression based on the work of Christopher Jenks. The research focuses on adult animation, specifically North American primetime television series, as manifestations of a social need to violate and thereby interrogate aspects of contemporary hetero-normative conformity in terms of identity and representation. A thematic analysis of four animated television series, namely Family Guy, Queer Duck, Drawn Together, and Rick & Steve, focuses on the texts themselves and various metatexts that surround these series. The analysis focuses specifically on expressions and manifestations of gay sexuality and sexual taboos and how these are articulated within the animated diegesis.
