“Clinicians have suspected that these drugs can be used to prevent the onset of schizophrenia, but this is the first demonstration that such a treatment can arrest the development of brain deterioration,” says Weiner. She said that the drugs work best when delivered during the rats’ “adolescent” period, several months before they reached full maturity. More at”:

Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue):
Churchillparken – a 10-minute walk through the park past the fountain and along the waterfront will lead you to the statue of the Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue), which was designed by Edvard Eriksen in 1913. Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, the statue depicts a mermaid who fell in love with a prince but had to wait 300 years to become human. This much-photographed bronze figure, perched on a rock at the water’s edge, has a certain grace, but don’t expect a great monument – the mermaid is indeed little and sports a rather drab, industrial harbour background. The face of the famous statue was modelled after the ballerina Ellen Price, while Eline Eriksen, the scuptor’s wife, modelled for the body. The Little Mermaid survived he Great Depression and  WWII occupation unscathed but modern times haven’t been so kind to Denmark’s leading lady. In January 1998, in the middle of the night, someone took a saw and decapitated the bronze statue. The next day, international news services spread the gory scene round the world, as divers searched the waters around the statue for clues but to no avail. Three days later the severed head mysteriously turned up in a box outside Copenhagen TV station – and it was speedily reattached. This was not the first time the gentle lady had been the subject of undesired attention. In 1964 the original head was lopped off and in 1983 an arm was sawn off – neither was ever found and both appendages had to be recast and welded back on.

Frederiksborg castle is a castle in Hillerød, Denmark. It was built as a royal residence for King Christian IV, and is now known as The Museum of National History. The current building replaced a previous castle erected by Frederick II, and is the largest Renaissance palace in Scandinavia. Most of the current palace, however, was built from 1602 to 1620 by Christian IV using Dutch architects, Hans and Lorents van Steenwinckel, and follows the Dutch style favoured by Christian IV for his new buildings in Copenhagen.

During the 8th–11th centuries, the Danish people were amongst those known as Vikings.
Viking Country has throughout the time, obviously always been associated with Denmark and the – Home of the Vikings – as well as the heartland of the great Viking society during the historical Viking age from around 800 to about 1050 AC – which is a very important part of Denmark’s history and culture that formed the way to build up the Danish kingdom. As a descendant of the Vikings – ethnic Danes are commonly coupled with the terms of being a Viking – coming from the “Barbaric North” with adventurous blood running through their veins.

The Viking Longship – Sea Stallion
This longship is properly named “The Sea Stallion from Glendalough”, and is a full-scale reproduction of a Viking longship. it was built by the Viking Ship Museum between 2000 and 2004 (the real Vikings would build a ship over a single winter).  It is based on Skuldelev 2, a real warship originally built by Vikings in Ireland the 1040s. The Skuldelev 2 was scuttled by the Vikings in the late 11th century as a defensive measure to block attackers trying to enter Roskilde Fjord.  This longship completed the full voyage from Dublin to Roskilde in 2008, manned by volunteers.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is best known for his children’s stories such as The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Little Mermaid, and The Ugly Duckling. Like the Alice in Wonderland sculpture nearby, Hans Christian Andersen is meant to be climbed on.The two favorite spots for climbing are on top of the open book displaying the opening lines of The Ugly Duckling and on the freestanding duck. The memorial cost $75,000 contributed in part by Danish and American schoolchildren. The remainder was raised by the Danish-American Women’s Association to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Andersen’s birth.

GLIMPSE – the talents of the autism community

They are painters, sculptors and photographers; poets and storytellers; musicians and creators of amazing video games. They are kids, teens and adults. Last year, a new online publication arose to celebrate the talents of autistic individuals and other developmental disabilities: GLIMPSE, offered by ICDL (The Interdisciplinary Council of Developmental and Learning Disorders). In late 2008, Volume 2 of GLIMPSE was released, and was expanded into a print book and notecards. The works are serious, humourous, deeply personal and illuminating. See it for yourself, share it with others, submit your own/your child’s work for inclusion in Volume 3, to release later this year. Find information and ordering details at www.icdl.com
