VINKOVAČKE JESENI (VINKOVCI AUTUMN) is the greatest folklore event in this part of Europe. It represents the popular-scholarly gathering of original national culture and stimulates the preservation of cultural heritage through song and the playing of instruments, and contributes greatly towards preventing many customs from falling into oblivion. Organized by Grad Vinkovci
------------------------------
54. Vinkovačke jeseni (13. - 22. rujna 2019.)
21.08.2019 - 30.09.2019
Već više od pedeset godina Vinkovačke jeseni najveći su čuvar tradicijske kulture, izvornog folklora, pjesme, plesa, ali i puno više od toga.
Od svog osnutka, 1966. godine, manifestacija je prerasla u jedan od najpoznatijih festivala ovakve vrste u Hrvatskoj, a tome ponajprije pridonose temeljne svečanosti koje se održavaju u sklopu Vinkovačkih jeseni.
Na 54. Vinkovačkim jesenima nastupit će oko 8.000 izvođača i sudionika programa. Njih će, prema procjenama baziranim na dosadašnjoj posjeti, gledati više od 100.000 posjetitelja
Kao i svake godine tako će i ove najveću pažnju privući Svečanost otvorenja, koja će se na velikoj pozornici u središtu Vinkovaca održati 20. rujna. I ovo će otvorenje, kao i brojna do sada okupiti akademske i glumce amatere, pjevače i pjevačke skupine, plesače i kulturno-umjetnička društva iz cijele Hrvatske. Tema ovogodišnjeg otvorenja je „Tri nam drage riječi“, pri čemu se misli na Slavoniju, Srijem i Baranju. Prvi dio priprema s glumcima i KUD-ovima, je odrađen, a zajednička proba svih sudionika otvorenja u vinkovačkom gradskom kazalištu započet će polovinom rujna.
Prva tradicijska manifestacija u sklopu Vinkovačkih jeseni bit će, kao i obično Folklorne večeri. Manifestacija, koja će okupiti više od 50 kulturno-umjetničkih društava iz cijele Vukovarsko-srijemske županije. Folklorne večeri započet će 13. i trajat će do 18. rujna, a prema riječima voditelja organizacije Folklornih večeri i Svečanog mimohoda, Franje Japelja, prijave zainteresiranih KUD-ova još uvijek pristižu. O deset najboljih KUD-ova Županijske smotre folklora, u velikom šatoru Vinkovačkih jeseni, odlučivat će prosudbena komisija, a izabrane skupine predstavljat će Županiju na smotrama folklora širom Hrvatske.
Tijekom drugog vikenda Vinkovačkih jeseni, 21. i 22. rujna, bit će održana Državna smotra hrvatskoga izvornog folklora. Prvog dana u večernjim satima na Trgu bana Josipa Šokčevića predstavit će se gostujući KUD-ovi, slijedi drugi dio manifestacije u nedjelju u 12 sati, nakon Svečanog mimohoda, a Smotra će završiti posljednjim, trećim dijelom na trgu Vinkovačkih jeseni pod Velikim šatorom u nedjelju navečer.
Svečani mimohod svih sudionika, a na kojem će sudjelovati oko 80 folklornih skupina, počinje u nedjelju, 22. rujna u 10 sati. Nakon prolaska preko svečane pozornice, mimohod se nastavlja do stadiona HNK “Cibalia” Vinkovci gdje će sudionici zaplesati najveće šokačko kolo. No neće se plesati samo na stadionu. U kolo će se uhvatiti sudionici i gledatelji po cijelom gradu.
Također, 14. i 15. rujna, održat će se Dječje Vinkovačke jeseni. Prvoga dana u večernjim satima održat će se prvi dio Međužupanijske smotre dječjih folklornih skupina, u nedjelju slijedi Središnji mimohod dječjih skupina, koji će svoj cilj imati u Velikom šatoru, gdje će nakon mimohoda održati drugi dio Međužupanijske smotre.

Crown Vetch (Coronilla varia)
DESCRIPTION: Crown vetch is an herbaceous perennial legume with creeping stems 2-6 feet long, and leaves consisting of 15-25 pairs of oblong leaflets. This species has a reclining growth habit and rhizomes that can grow up to ten feet long, thus contributing to rapid and extensive

vegetative spread. Flower clusters range in color from pinkish-lavender to white, occur in umbels on long, extended stalks, and bloom from May through August. Flowers produce long, narrow pods containing slender seeds.
DISTRIBUTION AND HABITAT: Crown vetch (also known as "trailing crown vetch") is an exotic perennial frequently used as a ground cover for erosion control and as a green fertilizer crop. It is used as a bank stabilizer along roads and waterways. The plant's original habitat includes Europe, southeast Asia and northern Africa. The plant's distribution in the U.S. encompasses most of the northern U.S. east of South Dakota.
Crown vetch has been planted extensively in the northern two-thirds of the United States on road banks and other areas prone to erosion. This plant readily escapes cultivation; it may be found invading remnant prairies, woodland edges, agricultural fields, hayfields, pastures, and the banks and gravel bars of streams. It has typically been planted along roadsides and other right-of-ways, but quickly spreads into adjacent prairies and open fields. Crown vetch prefers full sunlight, but healthy populations have been found in partial shade.
LIFE HISTORY AND EFFECTS OF INVASION: Crown vetch is a serious management threat to natural areas due to its seeding ability and rapid vegetative spreading by creeping roots. Flowers appear from May to August and produce few to several seeds. Seeds can remain dormant and viable for over fifteen years.
CONTROLLING CROWN VETCH:
Very little research information is currently available regarding the control of crown vetch. Research has largely been restricted to the establishment and management of this perennial legume. As a result, a limited number of control measures have become available from the unpublished notes of active natural resource managers. Further field research is needed to adequately address this species. However, preventative measures can and should be implemented: do not use crown vetch for erosion control. Encourage your local highway department to stop using it and replace it with less invasive species for roadside use.

Mechanical Methods: In fire-adapted communities, prescribed burning in late spring can be an effective control. Burns may need to be repeated for several years to achieve adequate control.
Where feasible, late spring mowing for several successive years can control this species. Another technique is to mow twice every year: in June and in late August, corresponding with successive leaf-out periods.
Chemical Control: The herbicide 2,4-D amine (dimethylamine salt of 2,4--D) is a low volatility formulation that can be foliar-applied in early spring when crown vetch is growing actively. 2,4-D amine should be applied by hand sprayer at the recommended application rate on the label for spot application. Phenoxy herbicides are broadleaf-selective plant growth regulators that will not harm grasses, but precautions must be taken in the vicinity of non-target broad-leaved plants. To reduce vapor drift, use an amine rather than an ester formulation of 2,4-D.
A 2% active ingredient (a.i.) solution of triclopyr in water has also been successful in controlling large infestations. Like 2,4-D, triclopyr is advantageous because it is dicot-specific and does not affect grasses beyond some temporary browning.

Crown Vetch
Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum, translocated herbicide that can be foliar-applied as a 1 or 2% a.i. solution during early spring when the plant is actively growing. Glyphosate is nonselective, and care should be taken to avoid non-target plants. To insure good foliar coverage, the previous year's growth should be burned to eliminate duff accumulation and to expose new growth. A follow-up application of glyphosate may be necessary the following fall or early spring to combat regeneration from underground parts or seed.
The herbicide clopyralid has been used successfully to treat roadside populations of crown vetch. This herbicide shows promise because it is even more specific than triclopyr in the plant families it affects; specifically, this herbicide kills leguminous species but does not affect grasses and most other plant families. However, further research is needed.
When applying any of the herbicides described above, spot applications should be done uniformly with a hand sprayer to ensure that the entire leaf is wetted. Do not spray so heavily that herbicide drips off the target species. Native plants, left unharmed, will be important in recolonizing the site after crown vetch is controlled. Reseeding of native plants may be necessary where infestations of crown vetch are severe. Planting an intermediate cover crop may be appropriate.
All of these methods may need repeated applications over several years to effectively eradicate populations of crown vetch that are well established.
On December 1, 37 volunteers were recognized for contributing over 5,500 hours of volunteer service to the Langara community and beyond.
Three rail lines largely contributed to Rockdale's early commercial development, and of the three, the International & Great Northern (I&GN) made the biggest impact. This former I&GN passenger depot opened in 1906. It survived various changes to the rail company, including its transition to the Missouri Pacific line in 1956. After years of declining rail use by passengers, the last passenger train left the depot on September 21, 1970, and the building served as storage for many years. Restored at the turn of the 21st century, the depot is eclectic in design with elements of Italianate, Queen Anne and Prairie styles of architecture.
This depot is both a Texas Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places

Here we have the two doors into the entrance of the art gallery at IUSB. Students, alumni and teachers all contributed to this art showing and even had their art work up for sale. All visitors were completely welcome to look around, browse, and buy art to support the students and the art department. There were so many wonderful works of art, it was hard to know exactly what to look at.
Let's start talking about the visual elements that can be seen here in this photo. First off, there are so many colors to be seen, both warm and cool. There are several warm colors that can be found in the countless flyers on the doors. There are yellows and reds and oranges. Also the floor and the background behind the doors have a kind of yellow glow that immediately comes to the forefront of the photo. The warm brown of the doors is also a warm color and pops out at you when looking at the photo. The cooler colors can also be seen on the flyers on the door. There are greens, blues and purples. There is also a piece of wall to the very left of the photo that is a dark bluish/gray color that is nice and cool and calming. There are many lines to be seen in this photo. The doors themselves contain strong, thick lines. These are made up out of the wood. They go vertical and horizontally. The vertical lines halt the eye when looking at the photo. The horizontal lines allow the eye to follow that line across the photo. There is also some curvy and more playful lines found in the black wire sculpture directly to the left in the photo. These are softer and more playful. This was another student's art work. This photo definitely has a sense of balance to it. Although it is not perfectly symmetrical, the doors are placed in a way that provides visual balance in the photo. There is a little bit of interposition going on in this photo. The angle of the photo and the way the doors look make it look like one is placed in front of the other. This creates an interposition that makes the photo more dynamic and interesting. There is also a lot of movement in this photo. This is definitely because of the lines in the photo. The strong, thicker lines on the door move the eye all around that area. Then we have the more curvy and playful lines of the black wire sculpture that move the eye all around that. Overall, it creates a great movement in the photo.
Now let's talk about the Gestalt Laws found in this photo. So there are many elements that make up this photo that, when combined, make a single clear message to the viewer. All of the parts put together can allow the viewer to determine that the doors are an entrance to something and that all of the flyers and papers on the doors are to provide information to people. There is similarity to be found in this photo. All of the different flyers on the doors are similar in size, shape and color and therefore are all grouped together by the viewer. Proximity also plays a role here. Since the flyers are all grouped and placed near one another they are assumed to be together, and rightly so. I would definitely say there is continuation in this photo in the black wire sculpture to the left of the photo. The top and bottom of the photo cuts off the rest of the sculpture but it is not hard for the viewer to imagine those lines continuing off of the photo. This is a great example of continuation. You can also explain the positive and negative space in this photo, or the figure and ground relationship. The doors are the focus or the positive space in this photo. The floor and the walls in the background would be the negative or the background in the photo.
Now let's discuss the cognitive elements found in this photo. Memory could definitely play a part here. All of those flyers could spark a memory of other flyers the viewer has seen. Flyers are informational and it could spark a memory of needing to attend a certain event. Projection could also take place here in this photo. If one is feeling irritated or annoyed, all of those flyers with all of that information could seem overwhelming and irritating. If one is an art lover and in a great mood, looking at all of those flyers could be exciting and inspiring. It definitely all depends on how the viewer is feeling. Selectivity takes place in this photo without a doubt. Because there is so much information posted on these doors the viewer will pick and choose what he or she wants to look at because taking in all of the details would be too overwhelming. Habituation is here as well. Floors, ceilings and walls are such a big part of all of our lives that the viewer would not look or pay attention to those details in this photo because they are so used to seeing them in everyday life. I do also believe salience could play a role here. If one is into art and passionate about creativity, they are much more likely to notice this art gallery and the creative flyers posted on the wall. If not, they could walk right past it and not give it a second look. I took this picture because of the amount of dissonance here. This is information overload. These doors and covered with flyers with so much color, type and information on it. It's just too much. Culture could definitely play a part here. If your culture promotes and values art, this would be something that would be very interesting to the viewer. If art does not play a big role in your life, this kind of information is irrelevant and unimportant. Words are powerful here. Information is the most important part of the photo. All of the words written on these flyers are meant to inform and persuade the viewer to come to these events or take part. Very important.
Now let us discuss the semiotics found in this photo. There are countless iconic signs used in this photo. There is a flyer on the door with paint tubes and paint themselves on it. These closely resemble the thing it is meant to represent: paint. There is also a flyer with a building on it and another with other kinds of artwork displayed on the wall. These are also iconic signs that are meant to closely resemble the thing it is meant to represent. The only real indexical sign I could find in this photo was the opened double doors. This logically tells the viewer that there is an entrance to something because of the double doors that are propped open. The metonymic code can definitely be seen here. All of the elements that make up this photo, when combined, can allow the viewer to make certain assumptions and associations. For example, the art work surrounding the doors, the many flyers about art and art exhibits can allow the viewer to make an assumption that this entrance has something to do with art and creativity.

Syracuse University (colloquially known as Syracuse, 'Cuse, or SU) is a private research university in Syracuse, New York. The institution's roots can be traced to the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, founded in 1831 by the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lima, New York. After several years of debate over relocating the college to Syracuse, the university was established in 1870, independent of the college. Since 1920, the university has identified itself as nonsectarian, although it maintains a relationship with The United Methodist Church.
