YANKTON BOARD of CITY COMMISSIONERS Work Session Meeting Beginning at 6:00 P.M Mission Statement To provide exemplary experiences, services & spaces that create opportunities for everyone to learn, engage and thrive. YANKTON BOARD OF CITY COMMISSIONERS Work Session Meeting beginning at 6:00 P.M. Monday, February 24, 2020 City of Yankton Community Meeting Room Located at the Career Manufacturing Technical Education Academy formerly known as Technical Education Center • 1200 W. 21st Street • Room 114 1. Roll Call 2. Public Appearances 3. Principles of Vexillology – City Flag Project 4. Other Business Other business is a time for City Commissioners to address the commission regarding matters not on the agenda. These items will be deliberated by the governing body and will not be acted upon at this time. Items mentioned may be added to a future City Commission meeting or work session for deliberation or action. 5. Adjourn the Work Session of February 24, 2020 Principles of Vexillology City Flag Project City Commission Work Session—Feburary 24, 2020 Background According to the North American Vexillology Association (NAVA), good flags share these common traits: 1. Simple: a child can draw them from memory. 2. Meaningful: images, colors or patterns should relate to what they symbolize. 3. Use 2‐3 basic colors. 4. Don’t include any writing or seals. 5. Don’t copy other flags, but can show connections to other places through similarities. Meta‐Analysis of 100 flag redesign efforts between 2015 and 2017 led to these conclusions: Approval of a process from elected officials increases the likelihood of successful adoption. Attempts to create a flag for city without a flag fare better than efforts to replace an existing flag. Providing guidance on flag design principles leads to better design and stronger winners (possibly a prize of some sort for the winning design). Organizations can be more successful than individuals acting alone. Involving students advances the cause‐ and involvement can create political support for flag designs. First, we need to build public support. Recommendations 1. Gather feedback from community members on the potential of Yankton having a city flag. Next, community members can create a City Flag Study Committee that would learn about the process of flag designing for a city, discuss best methods to gather flag designs, and outline guidelines for flag design submittals. The committee would need to build public support before we can gather flag designs for our city. Otherwise, we would be using time and resources for a cause that the public may not yet be invested in. Our goal should be to gather a cross‐section of local groups and citizens. 2. If a study committee of interested citizens chose to move ahead, it would be tasked with reading materials that would help them become more educated on the flag design process. Once the members have completed their respective research, they will come together and reach a consensus on whether or not the city should begin fielding flag designs 3. A town hall meeting can be where the committee will present their findings and their recommendations to the public. If it is shown that there is a positive response by the community, then City staff will recommend to the commission that the flag design process should begin and the city will begin fielding flag designs. Administrative Considerations Budget—Technology solution to accommodate the voting processing and/or collection of submissions. Costs associated with printing gallery show images. Design professional services polishing and finalizing the art for the graphics and brand standards. City supply of the final design flag and potentially a long‐term wholesale supply plan for public availability of flags for purchase. Identifying a manufacturer to make the flags as well as intellectual property and licensing policies. Getting the community to fly it—creative promotional ideas like giving one away at each new Chamber ribbon cutting, etc… Where will the City of Yankton fly it on city‐owned properties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²²²²² ,6%1²²²²;

  • Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019)
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 1 September 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202109.0027.v1 Article Heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia (1991-2019) Jovan Jonovski1, * 1 Macedonian Heraldic Society; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +38970252989 Abstract: Every country has some specific heraldry. In this paper, we will consider heraldry in the Republic of Macedonia, understood by the multitude of coats of arms, and armorial knowledge and art. The paper covers the period from independence until the name change (1991-2019). It co- vers the state coat of arms of the Republic of Macedonia especially the 2009 change. Special atten- tion is given to the development of the municipal heraldry, including the legal system covering the subject. Also personal heraldry developed in 21 century is considered. The paper covers the de- velopment of heraldry and the heraldic thought in the given period, including the role of the Macedonian Heraldic Society and its journal Macedonian Herald in development of theoretic and practical heraldry, as well as its Register of arms and the Macedonian Civic Heraldic System. Keywords: Heraldry in Macedonia; Macedonian civic heraldry; Republic of Macedonia. 1. Introduction The Republic of Macedonia became independent from the Socialist Federative Re- public of Yugoslavia with the Referendum of 8 September 1991. The Democratic Federal Macedonia was formed during the first session of the Anti-Fascist Assembly for the Na- tional Liberation of Macedonia (ASNOM) on 2 August 1944 (it later became the People’s Republic of Macedonia, a federal unit of the Federal People’s Republic of Yugoslavia).

    ISSUE 3 March 2007 Greetings all Flag Institute members and welcome to our third edition of eFlags. As you can see we have developed our logo a bit now….at least it’s memorable! This edition seems to have developed something of an African theme growing out of the chairman’s visit to the cinema to see the ‘Last King of Scotland’ (an amazing and flesh cringing film…well worth a visit by the way). Events have also moved fast in the Institute’s development, and we hope the final section will keep you all in touch. Please do think about coming to one of our meetings, they are great fun, ( its one of the few occasions when you can talk about flags and not face the ridicule of your family or friends!) and we have a line up of some fascinating presentations. As always any comments or suggestions would be gratefully received at [email protected] .

The 1970s in Africa saw the rise of a number of ‘colourful’ figures in the national histories of various countries. Of course the term ‘colourful’ here is used to mean that very African blend of an eccentric figure of fun, with brutal psychopath.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • On the Subject of Vexillology
    Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Vexillology On the Subject of Vexillology For every flag you make that does not exist, think of a new country name. Good waste of time while defusing a bomb. The module consists of 8 colour buttons, a flag and a submit button on top of the flagpole. The flagpole shows three colours in an order with a longer break. The colour Grey does not count! Follow the steps below and paint the flag as instructed. There can’t be any duplicate colours on the flag. If after the taken steps duplicate colours exist, transpose them in accordance with section “Colour Transposing”. The colours are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Aqua, White and Black. If the painted flag already exists according to the Country Table below, submit the flag when the timer has the "Submit" digit in any position. Otherwise, submit the flag when the timer has the last digit of the serial number in any position. Submitting a wrong flag or submitting at the wrong moment results in a strike. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Mod Vexillology First Colour All statements in this section are related to the top of the flagpole. Horizontal Bars If three of the same colour are shown, the first colour is Black. Otherwise, if two Oranges, two Greens or two Blacks are shown, the first colour is Green. Otherwise, if the third position is Orange or White, the first colour is Yellow. Otherwise, if the first position is Blue or Green, the first colour is Orange. Otherwise, if Black and Aqua are shown in any position, the first colour is Blue.

  • ICV20 Lupant.Pub
    Emblems of the State of Katanga (1960-1963) Michel Lupant On June 30 1960 the Belgian Congo became the Republic of Congo. At that time Ka- tanga had 1,654,000 inhabitants, i.e. 12.5% of the population of the Congo. On July 4 the Congolese Public Force (in fact the Army) rebelled first in Lower-Congo, then in Leopoldville. On July 8 the mutiny reached Katanga and some Europeans were killed. The leaders of the rebels were strong supporters of Patrice Lumumba. Faced with that situation on July 11 1960 at 2130 (GMT), Mr. Tschombe, Ka- tanga’s President, delivered a speech on a local radio station. He reproached the Cen- tral government with its policies, specially the recruitment of executives from commu- nist countries. Because of the threats of Katanga submitting to the reign of the arbitrary and the communist sympathies of the central government, the Katangese Government decided to proclaim the independence of Katanga.1 At that time there was no Katan- gese flag. On July 13 President Kasa Vubu and Prime Minister Lumumba tried to land at Elisabethville airport but they were refused permission to do so. Consequently, they asked United Nations to put an end to the Belgian agression. On July 14 the Security Council of the United Nations adopted a resolution asking the Belgian troops to leave the Congo, and therefore Katanga. Mr. Hammarskjöld, Secretary-General, considered the United Nations forces had to enter Katanga. Mr. Tschombe opposed that interpreta- tion and affirmed that his decision would be executed by force it need be.

  • The Migration of an Emblem Through the Example of the Cross of Burgundy
    The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy by Patrice de La Condamine Abstract The choice for the subject of this paper, The migration of an emblem through the example of the cross of Burgundy, needs an explanation. The purpose of this subject is double. The first one, as the first part of the title indicates, is to show the migration of the emblems, showing that they follow the movements of populations. The second purpose is to explain this reality through an example: the cross of Burgundy. This choice seems to be all the more appropriate since the country which welcomes us was one of the first to receive this emblem on its ter - ritory, in historic circumstances that everybody knows. The story could begin with Once upon a time, there was a cross... The Burgundian native land I do not pretend to know everything about the origins of the cross of Burgundy, how - ever I can talk about its history. First, its name ‘Cross of Burgundy’ does not let any doubt 1 about its origin: Burgundy, the actual region situated in the east of France. On the graphic aspect, it’s a saltirewise cross, called a Saint-Andrew’s cross 2, which is particular, as on the edges of its four limbs some small branch-like offshoots from the main cross can be noticed. That is why this emblem is also called “croix écotée”, 6 in The saltire of Burgundy French. Originally, it represented two crossed tree trunks of which the branches had been cut off, so that only the sawn-off ends remained.
