City DescriptionBerlin is a town in Worcester County, Maryland, United States. The population was 3,491 at the 2000 census.
The town of Berlin had its start around the 1790s, part of the Burley Plantation, a 300-acre (1.2 km) land grant dating back to 1677. The name Berlin is believed to be derived from a contraction of "Burleigh Inn", a tavern located at the crossroads of the Philadelphia Post Road (now South Main Street) and Sinepuxent Road (Tripoli Street). This may be why the traditional pronunciation of the town's name is BURL-un, as opposed to the more modern pronunciations BER-LIN and ber-LIN. The traditional pronunciation is rarely heard today.
Berlin incorporated as a town in 1868. In the early 20th century, Berlin was known as a rest stop for travelers on their way to the coastal resort of Ocean City as well as a stop for tourists who enjoyed hunting and fishing on the lower Eastern Shore of Maryland.
Since the late 1980s the town has undergone considerable revitalization of its historic downtown commercial district and adjacent residential areas. Berlin's historic residential areas feature nearly two centuries of architectural heritage from the from three distinct periods: Federal, ...

Does your town have a fake police car? Question: The town of Berlin, Maryland did.
A few years ago the state police had a fiberglass, 2 dimensional police car placed on busy Route 50 that looked so real, motorists slowed down when they saw it.....that is, until someone stole it one night.
Somehow, I don't think this item found it's way to a pawn shop.
Answer:
Yes, the locals have old police cruisers they park on high traffic streets with dummies dressed as cops. At least I think they are dummies. They move them around some so people don't get used to them.

If the World was so Safe before Bush took Office,How do you Explain this List??????? Question: American Victims of Mideast Terrorist Attacks
------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
The following is a listing of incidents in which Americans are known to have been killed by Middle East-based terrorists. The list will be updated as more information becomes available. The exact number of American casualties is difficult to calculate because of incomplete news reports regarding numbers and nationalities of those injured. The toll from the September 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center is also uncertain, but current figures place the number of dead above 3,000. The number of dead at the Pentagon and on the hijacked airliners numbered approximately 385. Since Yasser Arafat "renounced" violence in the Oslo Peace Accords on September 13, 1993, at least 53 Americans have been murdered and at least another 83 Americans have been injured by Palestinian terrorism. Excluding the September 11 attacks, approximately 700 Americans have been killed and 1,600 wounded in terrorist attacks since 1970. This list also includes injured Americans since Oslo 1993.

After Libya refused to extradite the suspects to stand trial, the United Nations leveled sanctions against the country in April 1992, including the freezing of Libyan assets abroad. In 1999, Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi agreed to hand over the two suspects, but only if their trial was held in a neutral country and presided over by a Scottish judge. With the help of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd and Crown Prince Abdullah, Al-Megrahi and Fahima were finally extradited and tried in Camp Zeist in the Netherlands.

Custody/vistation case history? Question: Help find this case?
I'm trying to find a case history to see if it would be something I can use as precedent in my ex-wife's refusal to allow court ordered visitation (she's refusing to allow me to she my child until I agree to her demands on return time, day care, etc-- police have been requested to mediate, and said they cannot enforce the decree, they could only ask her to allow the child to come- she refused).
The case title is:
. The Court of Appeals of Maryland clearly established this point in Berlin v. Berlin, 239 Md. 52, 210 A.2d 380 (1965).
Any help?
Answer:
Sir, you don't need to find case law to have a court order enforced. In fact, having that is completely irrelevant unless it comes to an appeal status anyway.
You need to continue to call the police and ensure they send an officer out EVERY TIME, even if you have to wait an hour for them to do so. Get his name, and badge number, and document each occurrence.
Once you have about roughly 5 call outs, then I would proceed to file a motion for enforcement of court ordered visitation and access. Have the police officers subpoenaed that came out to the home, and also have the dispatch logs showing when you called for assistance and the outcome of it.
If you're lucky the officer will make a report of the incident, (you can ask him too for court purposes) and you can get that instead of having them show up to court.
Keep pursuing visitation until you have racked up enough for the court to find her in contempt, and since she wants to play games, show her that it’s not a game. In the type of relief requested, ensure that you request a reasonable amount of corrective action such as her being fined not less than 500 dollars for each violation, and jailed for at least 30 days or until she complies with the order.
Edit:
The reason I say continue the way that you have is because the first thing that the court is going to look at, is to simply see whether or not the other parent has been found in contempt in a previous hearing. Now unless she has been withholding visitation for quite some time, you cannot expect relief in the form of changing custody. If you would like to pursue that any way, then you open up a whole new ball game in which you will have to provide a proposed parenting plan to the court, etc...
If you want to go that route, I wish you the best of luck, but it is best to start out with her at least being found in contempt once before you seek a change of custody.

Can someone proofread this essay ?
Answer:
First and foremost, don't use Wikipedia! Most teachers/professors do NOT accept that as a credible source!
Now, just to go over your first paragraph:
The origins today's television system can be traced back to the discovery of the television system by Willoughby Smith in 1873, the invention of a scanning disk by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow in 1884, and Philo Farnsworth's Image dissector in 1927.
Don't use "television system" twice in the same sentence!
The 20-year old German university student Nipkow proposed and patented the first electromechanical television system in 1884.
OK
Nipkow's spinning disk design.
Sentence fragment
Constantin Perskyi had invented the word television in a paper read to the International Electricity Congress at the International World Fair in Paris on August 25, 1900.
You can't invent something in a paper. You can tell about it.
Perskyi's paper reviewed the existing electromechanical technologies, mentioning the work of Nipkow and others.
OK
Nipkow's scanning disks were first for practical use in the electronic transmission of still pictures and photographs, and by the first decade of the 20th century halftone photographs were being transmitted by a copy over telegraph and telephone lines as a newspaper service.
The first practical use of Nipkow's scanning disks was for the electronic transmission ...
That will get you started on revisions.
EDIT: You also list "works cited" but I saw no cites in the essay.
EDIT: To Ray. You obviously don't read well. I said MOST teachers. And, if you think this is "nicely done" the I suggest you need some grammar lessons!

What stops Canadians from the happy go lucky frivolity the US tends to demonstrate from time to time ? Question: INTERCOURSE, Pennsylvania (AFP) - To get to Paradise, some Americans go to Intercourse first.
In Texas, amorous couples get engaged in Loving -- and then go to Looneyville via Hoop and Holler.
Earth is also in Texas, and lies around 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) away from Mars and Venus, both in Pennsylvania.
And the good people of Rising Sun, Maryland, probably have close ties to their kinfolk in Hot Coffee, Mississippi, Toast in North Carolina and Two Egg, Florida.
------------
The last time I checked the only town to change it's name in Canada was "Berlin" which was changed to Kitchener because of the war and no one wanted to be associated with Germany -
The above if silly and shows a sense of humour I don't often see in Canada -
I wonder what stops us - it is after all meaningless fun
Oh wait Dildo Newfoundland comes to mind
Any others though ?
Answer:
There's a city in Texas called Liberal.

plz read this. need answers! do you like this? Question: Royal Diaries of Clarentice
By:
Savannah Lauren Adams
December 5, 1692
As my glass clear goblets all were
arranged in my palace, I began to wander
outside into the cream-colored roses lying
in a clear blue stream upon the greyest
day ever. It is Sunday evening and I
shall tell you that I am angry because my
father, Felis 23rd goes off to battle so often
that he probably can't even remember what
I look like. Everytime he goes off to battle
he brings home a new wife. Today he came
from a battle in France. This time he
brought back his 50th wife. Her name is
Deana Frose', and I have no intention of
being nice because today she told me that
my father had talked all about me and
then she called me Clarentine, when my
real name is Clarentice. Did my father
forget my name? Did Deana even try to
remember my name?
December 8, 1692
This morning I went outside and was most
hurt to see father kissing Deana. I do not
even want to finish this Deana thing, so
I will tell you something that helped me
forget. I just loved sitting by our eastern
brook, Kondus', as there was a beautiful
view of palm trees surrounded by
yellow Kihohckos which are blooming
blastfully. The Kihohckos' origin is in
Berlin, but brought to my home, Highston,
North Dakota by our Yugoslavian slaves.
These slaves were brought by father to
serve us or either to be killed. My hand
hurts so very badly, I'll write later.
December 13, 1692
I saw Deana last night and she
told my father that they should leave
Highston, North Dakota and rule other lands
like Miclos, Delaware or Krow, Massachusetts,
and that I should be beheaded so I wouldn't
be a worry while they'd be gone. Father
beheaded DEANA! He thought that she
was crazy, and that Deana loved me. Well
I am feeling marvelous, as I sit near a
mountain eating white cloverleaf and watching
a glacier far away be covered by shells blown
from a beach. I will tell you more interesting
stories later.
December 14, 1692
Father is going to battle in New Hampshire.
He told me that he is going to bring
me back the most gorgeous dresses I've
ever seen that had been made in Paris and
New Jersey. He said the dresses will be
made of spider silk and red wool! He also
told me that he will bring back a carriage
full of magnificent garden flowers to plant
by all of our brooks! My only fear is what
father's new 51st wife will be like. I'll write
again.
December 21, 1692
It is twilight and the yellow leaves on the
trees glow brightly. Father isn't back from
New Hampshire. Since he's been gone I
have been mostly at our southwestern brook,
Hile'. Hile' has clean water that has a reflecting
white tint. I also have visited my northwestern
brook, Mod. Mod has the same white tint to it,
but is has alot of green dirt. I will write again.
Decmeber 25, 1692
We have many meals to celebrate today, but
father is not here yet.
December 26, 1692
Father is here, from New Hampshire! He has
brought back the most gorgeous dresses I've
ever seen. They have the softest silk ever, too! I
looked in the carriage filled with the magnificent
flowers and there were flowers that looked just like
the ones at Kondus'! There were ones that came
from Maryland and Kansas and they were the
prettiest to me. They were both white and blue
and they were called Greek Goddesses! Father
said he had won the battle and now owns
New Hampshire! I promise I will tell you
more about this later when I have the time!
Decmeber 31, 1692
Well, Father's new 51st wife is pretty nice so far.
Her name is Roseclarie Min. Roseclarie has black hair and blue eyes.
The only thing thats upsetting about her is that she has a
black and blue colored leg. I will write again.
January 1, 1693
Today I celebrated the new year by planting ALL
of the pretty flowers Father had brought from New Hampshire!
The Greek Goddesses all went by my most favorite brook,
Kondus'. I put the cream-colored roses by my second
favorite brook, Hile'. I only planted 2 plain flowers by Mod,
because it's my least favorite of all. The rest of the
leftover flowers were sent to my garden in another part of
my home, Mistate, North Dakota. I'll write again.

I am so mad at Roseclarie because she said she will
no longer let me go to any of my brooks because they're
"too far" away. Roseclarie was nice but, I'm ready for
Father to go to another battle so he can get another
wife.
January 4, 1693
I looked outside my window this morning and saw a
beautiful black and yellow Japaneses Golden bird.
January 8, 1693
Father is finally going to battle in Pennsylvania to help our
ally, Minnesota, take them over, but he hasn't ridden
Roseclarie.
January 9, 1693
Father has left for Pennsylvania and left Roseclarie with me.
January 15, 1693
I'm tired of Roseclarie, and I want father to come home.
January 16,`1693 My birthday
It is midnight and Father has sent a letter saying that he
wants Roseclarie out of the palace because he's already
found a new wife named, Kresa. YAY I'll write later.
January 17, 1693
Yesterday we celebrated my birthday and I got alot of
presents from Yugoslavian slaves and some peasants, it
enlightened me with joy, I also got a letter from Father
saying that he will get me carriages full of dresses and
gold, so I can't wait. Roseclarie didn't give me any
commands yesterday, she cried, but I think it was fake.
She is going to move out SOON!
January 22, 1693
My life is brightened because Roseclarie has moved out and
........... I get my beautiful flowery brooks back.
Evening
I went to Hile' and all of the cream-colored roses were
GONE. I am sooooooo ....... mad. I didn't have
time to go to Kondus', so I'm really anxious to
see if they're still there.
January 23, 1693
Here's a note Father has written that
makes me worry:
Dear Clarentice,
A Pennsylvanian has blinded me with his sword
so I will probably not be back soon because I
need to heal.
Love,
Felis XXIII P.S. Tell everyone.
This is a worry to think about, but he really
did remember my name and this makes me feel
treated! I'll write again.
January 29, 1693
I didn't go to the brooks today because I was
too busy thinking about Father. Father has sent many
letters and his one today said that Kresa will be arriving
tomorrow. Father said he needs to stay in Pennsylvania because
they are healing him with a new ingredient, marroon
eculyptus leaves. I wander what she'll be like. Some travelers
from Normandy came along our road and told us that they
were greeted by some beautiful green eyed, brunette haired
friendly woman that looked like she was in one of my
Father's royal limebur carriages. Father's limebur carriages
are extravagant because of the beautiful wood and of course
the limebur itself, which is green and white hardened clay
rocks that also have a very rare color of purple. Anyway,
since I am sitting in my raggedy recliner that I'd got
as a baby, I am thankful for everything, especially my
Father and this recliner. My recliner is raggy, but it is
more comfortable than a chair that has thousands of
feathers in it. I will write tomorrow.
January 30, 1693
Today Father came back instead of Kresa! Father
decided to say good-bye to Kresa for a divorce.
He divorced Kresa because she wanted to stay
and help other hurt people in war and battle
heal. Father let Kresa have and control
Pennsylvania because he still loved her but
divorced her anyway to come back to me. Father
and me were so happy to see each other and he
gave me birthday presents that were the most
marvelous filled carriages ever and Father and
me had fun in our palace that day, and he
promised that every other war or battle he went to,
I would definitely come to spend time in all other
lands.
The End
