Many of the items are more th an 100 years old\, predating the Bolshevik Revolution (1917).\nWindows Int o Heaven\nWhen Prince Vladimir of Kiev converted to Christianity — along with his country — in 988 A.D.\, iconography was introduced as a means of fostering religious understanding and devotion among the people of Kiev an Rus (present day Ukraine\, Belarus and northwest Russia). It followed t he strict models and formulas of the Byzantine practice from which it orig inated but\, through time\, developed its own distinctions and styles. Tod ay\, Russian Orthodox icons are renowned throughout the world.\nAs a form of sacred art\, iconographers historically prayed or fasted before and dur ing the creation of an icon. Traditionally\, icons were painted in egg tem pera on wood and often accented with gold leaf or covered with ornately gi lt metal covers called rizas. Rich in symbolism\, they are still used exte nsively in Orthodox churches and monasteries\, and many Russian homes have icons hanging on the wall in a “beautiful” (or prayer) corner.\n“Ic ons have been synonymous with Christian prayer and practice for centuries\ ,” said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “One of the great traditions of Eastern Christianity\, icons are less well known here\, and we are pleased that this exhibit will enable residents of the Northeast to grow in their understanding of the history and religious significance of these windows into heaven.”\n \nThe Museum offersFree AdmissionFree Parking\n \nHour s\nOpen Daily: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.\n\n  DTEND:20130519T045900Z DTSTART:20130518T050000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130506T151400Z SUMMARY:Windows into Heaven: Russian Icons and Treasures URL:http://www.kofcmuseum.org/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ed0243570326768186c50ea4064f5491http://www.visitnewhaven.com/administra tor DTSTAMP:20130518T132343Z DTEND:20130519T045900Z DTSTART:20130518T050000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130429T173300Z SUMMARY:Yale Commencement Weekend URL:http://www.yale.edu/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:-35 DTSTAMP:20130518T132343Z CONTACT:Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History\, 170 Whitney Avenue\, New H aven\, CT 06511 DESCRIPTION:Echoes of Egypt: Conjuring the Land of the Pharoahs\n \nThis e xhibition will take you on a journey through two thousand years of fascina tion with ancient Egypt\, the land of the pharaohs.Fees: $5-$9Days &\; Hours of Operation: 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday\, noon-5 p.m. Sunday Accept Groups?: yes Bus Parking?: yes DTEND:20130519T010000Z DTSTART:20130518T220000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130304T185600Z SUMMARY:Echoes of Egypt: Conjuring the Land of the Pharoahs URL:http://peabody.yale.edu/events/night-peabody-museum/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:098b7ff532666acb1c652db92b232b09http://www.visitnewhaven.com/administra tor DTSTAMP:20130518T132343Z DESCRIPTION: \nAnother Octave: Connecticut Women’s Chorus will be presen ting its spring show in May in South Windsor and Hamden\, CT. The title Turnabout Is Fair Play — gives a clue to the program’s twist: it’s a concert featuring songs originally written to be performed by men. The South Windsor show will take place on Sunday afternoon\, May 5 at 4:00 p.m . at the Unity Church of Greater Hartford\, 919 Ellington Road (Rt. 30) in South Windsor. The show will be presented again on Saturday\, May 18\, at 7:00 p.m. at the Unitarian Society of New Haven\, 700 Hartford Turnpike\, Hamden.  Since its first appearance in 1990\, Another Octave has been en gaging audiences around Connecticut\, and out-of-state\, with energetic pe rformances and an eclectic repertoire that includes standard concert piece s as well as traditional and contemporary music reflecting women’s lives .   The show is “about having some fun with traditional notions of ‘ appropriate songs’ for a women’s chorus to perform\,” says artistic director Lydia Smith-Franks.  The subjects are wide-ranging and the style s eclectic — ranging from a light-hearted 18th century Italian ditty tha t cheers “long live the women\,”  to Gilbert &\; Sullivan\, to the creations of musical legends as disparate as Sondheim &\; Bernstein (M aria from West Side Story) and Freddie Mercury (Somebody to Love).  Join us for the show — and judge for yourself whether or not Turnabout is Fai r Play. We think you’ll say “Yes!”Ticket prices range from $15-$30. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.anotheroctave.org.

Thi s year the 17-year cicada will emerge from colonies in undisturbed foreste d regions in south-central Connecticut. Expect to see and hear these fasci nating creatures starting at the end of May and throughout the month of Ju ne.\nThe species of periodical cicada that will emerge in our area this ye ar (Magicicada septendecim L.) spends 17 years developing underground as a nymph\, feeding on sap from tree roots. For a short time in early summer of the 17th year\, the nymphs of the entire brood emerge around sunset\, c limb up tree trunks and transform into beautiful winged adults that have b lack bodies with red and yellow trim\, ruby-like eyes and stiff glossy win gs. Within a week males begin to sing a high-pitched song to attract femal es. After mating\, the females then carve tiny slits in small tree branche s and lay their eggs. Though sometimes small branches may wilt\, the cicad as rarely cause any significant damage to entire trees. The adult 17-year cicada lives for no more than a few weeks. After mating and egg-laying\, t hey quickly die. When the eggs hatch later that same summer\, the tiny nym phs climb down and burrow into the ground to begin their long underground development.\nThe Return of the 17-year Cicadas! exhibition will feature a timeline detailing Yale’s historical involvement in 17-year cicada emer gences dating back to 1843. On display will be video of the cicada emergen ce and live cicadas in a terrarium\, with information on their biology and life cycle\, as well as range maps. Find out the differences between annu al cicadas (the “dog-day” cicadas you see and hear in backyards every year) and periodical cicadas\, and learn about the environmental effects o f humans on cicadas and vice versa.\nFor people who live or work in the ha bitat of the 17-year cicada\, its emergence sometimes causes concern. Thes e species emerge in vast numbers because their only defense against predat ors is “predator satiation” —their sheer numbers overwhelm the appet ites of predators. But 17-year cicadas are completely safe. They do not ki ll trees or other plants\, and do not sting\, bite or harm humans or other animals. They are even safe for pets (and us!) to eat. To preserve their unique way of life\, the Yale Peabody Museum strongly discourages the use of pesticides or other measures that can be harmful to these remarkable cr eatures.

The se are drawn from a large body of work from this period—both oils on can vas and large-format watercolors—in which Clemente explored images and t hemes that had been central to his art for many years\, as well as ideas a nd iconography indigenous to Brazil. The exhibition\, titled Clemente >\ ; Brazil >\; Yale\, is organized by Robert Storr\, Dean of the Yale Scho ol of Art.\n \nAlthough a group of watercolors was shown in New York\, an d several oils were exhibited in Berlin a few years ago\, this is the firs t time that a substantial\, integrated ensemble of these works has been se en in the United States\, or\, for that matter\, in the Americas. The sele ction for this presentation includes twelve works on canvas and eighteen w orks on paper.
