| | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - London Ontario - Geography The area was formed during the retreat of the glaciers during the last ice age, which produced areas of marshland, notably the Sifton Bog, as well as some of the most productive areas of farmland in Ontario. The eastern half of the city is generally flat, with gently rolling hills in the west and north.

| | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - League Cup - History During the late 1950s, the majority of senior English clubs equipped their grounds with floodlights. This opened up the opportunity to exploit weekday evenings throughout the Winter. The League Cup was introduced in the 1960-61 season specifically as a mid-week floodlit tournament. In the early years of the competition, many of the top teams declined to take part, and it was only when automatic entry to the UEFA Cup was promised to the winners that ...

| | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - London Ontario - Law and Government Main article: London City Council
London's municipal government is split between 14 councillors (two representing each of London's seven wards) and a Board of Control, consisting of four controllers and the mayor. London's current mayor is Anne Marie DeCicco. Historically, the Board of Control was introduced during a period of expansion so the ward councillors could deal with ward issues while the board dealt with problems affecting the entire city. Although London has many ties to Middlesex County, it is now "separated" and the two have no jurisdictional overlap. Exception here is granted to the Middlesex Coun ...

| | | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - Reading and Leeds Festivals - 2000s After a successful first year in Leeds, a continued resurgence in the popularity of outdoor music festivals led to the Reading festival selling out more and more quickly every year. The Leeds leg, however, was plagued by riots and violence which led to problems in retaining its licence. Mean Fiddler moved the festival to Bramham Park, near Wetherby to the east of Leeds in 2003. Since then, security at both sites ha ...

| | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - Gary Numan - Personal life Numan married a member of his own fan club. She diagnosed him as having Asperger's syndrome. She has discussed this and how they met in at least one UK women's magazine. In 2003, he and his wife Gemma had their first child, Raven. In 2005 they had their second child, Persia.
Numan is also known for his love of flying, and has owned several aircraft, in one of which he famously crashed in 1981, albeit as a passenger. This came shortly after successfully attempting a round-the-world jaunt during which he was briefly imprisoned in India on suspicion of spying.

| | | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - Ottawa O-Train - Criticism The main complaints about the O-Train have revolved around its placement and ridership levels. Some say that as the O-Train’s route was determined by pre-existing railway tracks in order to reduce costs, it serves areas there was little need for a new transit connection, instead of building a line to parts of the city which are hard to reach by public transport. Carleton University students would probably disagree, since they are the main group to have benefitted from the O-Train pilot project, and no longer have to ride buses thro ...

| | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - London Ontario - Miscellaneous Contrary to popular belief, London did not take on the name "Forest City" due to the number of trees in the city. In its early days, London was an isolated destination and one would have to walk through a forest to get there. So it can be said that London was a "city within a forest" and as such earned the nickname "The Forest City." In modern times, however, Londoners have become protective of the trees in the city, protesting "unnecessary" removal of trees. The City Council and tourist industry have created projects to replant trees throughout the city.

Also, Highway 403, which diverges from the 401 not far east of London, provides ready access to Brantford, Hamilton, the Golden Horseshoe region and the Niagara Peninsula.

| | | | | Carling: Encyclopedia II - Lager - Brewing technique Bottom fermented beers are brewed principally from malted barley, hops and water at low temperatures.
"Lager" yeast, known as Saccharomyces uvarum or Saccharomyces carlsbergensis, ferments at these cool temperatures, and flocculates (forms a cloudy mass) on the bottom of the vat.
"Lager" yeast is a bottom-fermenting yeast, and typically undergoes primary fermentation at 7-12°C (45-55°F) (the "fermentation phase"), and then is given a long secondary fermentation at 0-4°C (30-40°F) (the "lagering phase"). During ...

Ottawa O-Train - North-south line.
