  Title: William Control
  Passage: William Control is an American electronic music project founded in 2008 in Seattle, Washington.  It was the side project of Aiden’s William Francis before Aiden's hiatus, and he now operates as William Control full-time.  'William Control' therefore refers to both the band as a whole and to Francis as his stage name.  Francis was signed to Victory Records before starting his own independent label Control Records, and, as William Control, has released four full-length albums ("Hate Culture", "Noir", "Silentium Amoris", and "The Neuromancer"), an EP ("Novus Ordo Seclorum"), two acoustic albums ("Skeleton Strings" and "Skeleton Strings 2"), two live DVDs ("Live in London Town" and "Babylon") and a remix album ("Remix)".  The first EP ("The Pale") of the fifth studio album "Revelations" was released on October 14, 2016.  This album will be split into 4 separate EPs released over a period of months instead of one single release.  The second EP "The Black" was released on February 17, 2017 and the third titled "The Red" followed that with a release date of July 14 of the same year.  Since "The Neuromancer" Francis has referred to his band as 'The Neuromantic Boys', and the 'Boys' currently consist of Kenneth Fletcher (who has been a part of the William Control project since "Hate Culture") and Ian MacWilliams, with Crilly Ashes standing in for Fletcher for some of 2017's live shows.

  Title: William F Romain
  Passage: William Francis Romain (born 1948) is an American archaeologist, archaeoastronomer, and author.  William Romain received his Ph.D. in archaeology from the University of Leicester and M.A. degree in anthropology from Kent State University.  He is Director of The Ancient Earthworks Project.  He specializes in the study of ancient religions, cognitive archaeology, and archaeoastronomy.  William Romain pioneered the use of LIDAR technology for the analyses of ancient earthworks - most notably those of the Eastern Woodlands.  In 2011 Romain led a team of archaeologists (collectively known as The Serpent Mound Project) in an investigation of Serpent Mound, in Adams County, Ohio.  This was the first major investigation of the effigy in more than one hundred years and included Geoprobe coring, hand coring, limited excavation, ground-penetrating radar, and electric resistivity analysis.  Among the results were new radiocarbon dates for the effigy suggesting it was built about 2,300 years ago by people of the Early Woodland period.  Romain is a past advisor to the Board of Trustees for the Heartland Earthworks Conservancy, former research associate with the Newark Earthworks Center at Ohio State University and past recipient of the Archaeological Society of Ohio's Robert Converse award for Outstanding Contributions to Ohio Archaeology.
