'''Gaffer tape''' (also, '''gaffer's tape''', '''gaff tape''', '''gaffa tape''', '''gaffing tape''', '''cloth tape''', '''(The) Gaff''', '''Roll of Gaff''') is a strong cotton cloth pressure-sensitive [[adhesive tape]] used in the motion picture, television, stage (music and theater) and audio visual production. The tape is manufactured in many colors, including fluorescent and custom colors, but the most common variety is [[matte (surface)|matte]] [[black]]. This matte finish keeps the tape from reflecting light so the tape blends in with the typical [[stage (theatre)|stage]] floor of a [[theatre]].
The tape is most likely named for the [[gaffer (motion picture industry)|gaffer]], the head of the lighting department on a [[film crew]].
'''Vojvodina''' is a northern province of [[Serbia]]. Its capital is [[Novi Sad]], the second largest town is [[Subotica]].
Gaffer tape is easily torn by hand so no cutting tools are necessary. The adhesive used is a high quality synthetic rubber{{Fact|date=April 2007}} which leaves little or no residue when removed, in contrast to [[duct tape]]. When cables are taped down on a stage or other surface, either for safety or to keep them out of view of the audience or camera, they are said to be ''gaffed'' or ''gaffered''.
==History==
A narrow version of gaffer tape, called [[spike (stagecraft)|spike tape]], is used in many colors for stage and theatre floor layout.
The area of Vojvodina was inhabited ever since the [[Paleolithic]] and the [[Neolithic]] periods. [[Sremska Mitrovica|Sirmium]] was an important [[Roman Empire|Roman]] town.
White gaffer tape is also used extensively by live sound engineers who place a strip along the bottom of the mixing board allowing them to label the channels used for a particular show.
During the early medieval migrations, Slavs ([[Severans]]) settled today's Vojvodina in the [[6th century]], while the [[Magyars]] arrived in the [[9th century]]. Only isolated pockets of Slavs remained and the region was ruled by [[Hungary]] until the [[16th century]].
An increasing number of [[Serbs]] began settling from the [[14th century]] onward. By [[1483]], according to a Hungarian source, as much as half of the population of the Kingdom of Hungary at the time would have been made up of Serbs. Another Hungarian source from the same century put the number of Serb settlers in Vojvodina at 200,000.

Vojvodina was occupied by the [[Ottoman Empire]] following the [[Battle of Mohacs]] of [[1526]] and the fall of [[Banat]] in [[1552]]. This turbulent period caused a massive depopulation of the region. The [[Banat]] areas were administered from [[Timisoara|Temesvar]], while Bacska and [[Srem, Serbia and Croatia|Sirmium]] were under [[Buda|Budim]].

The [[Habsburg]] Empire took control of Vojvodina among other lands by the treaties of [[Treaty of Karlowitz|Karlowitz]] ([[1699]]) and [[Treaty of Passarowitz|Passarowitz]] ([[1718]]). The areas adjacent to the Turkish territory in the south were separated into the ''Military Frontier'' ([[Krajina]]), its [[Slavonia]]n and Banat sections.

The Austrian rule was characterized by significant settlement of Germans. With the reshuffling of the country and the abolishment of the military frontier between [[1867]] and [[1881]], Bacska and Banat came under Hungary while the Sirmium region was part of the crownland of [[Croatia]]-[[Slavonia]].

At the end of the [[World War I]], Austria-Hungary was dismantling. In November of [[1918]] the Assembly of Novi Sad proclaimed the union of [[Backa|Bačka]], [[Banat]], [[Srem, Serbia and Croatia|Srem]] and [[Baranja]] with the then Kingdom of [[Serbia]].
Vojvodina in its current form (south Bačka, east Srem, west Banat) was formally ceded to [[Yugoslavia]] in the [[Treaty of Trianon]] of [[1920]]. The region was again temporarily split by the [[Axis Powers]] during [[World War II]], but was later restored as a province of Serbia with varying degrees of autonomy (between [[1974]] and [[1990]] it was an officially autonomous province).
==Geography==
The region is traditionally divided by the rivers of [[Danube]] and [[Tisa]] into: [[Backa|Bačka]] in the northwest, [[Banat]] in the east and [[Srem, Serbia and Croatia|Srem]] in the southwest. Today, the western part of [[Srem, Serbia and Croatia|Srem]] is in Croatia while [[Baranja]] (which is between Danube and [[Drava]], rather) is in Hungary and Croatia.
