Biography [link]
Map began as a revolving door with one steady fixture: Josh Dooley. Dooley formed Map in the year 2000, and with the revolving door in effect, recorded two EPs: Teaching Turtles to Fly (Velvet Blue Music) and Eastern Skies, Western Eyes (Velvet Blue Music). These EPs served as an early showcase of Dooley’s talents with special regard to creating melodies, writing hooks, and exercising guitar chops. It wasn’t until 2003, however, when Map released Secrets By The Highway (Velvet Blue Music), that his impressive musicianship was truly showcased. This album is full of finely crafted melodies and guitar hooks that are as subtle as they are substantive—hooks Dooley would later be known by. He had struck an almost ideal balance between pop and rock, a working canvas for Dooley's undeniable skills in guitar playing and song writing. He was on his way to nailing the proverbial “it.” Then in the summer of 2004, Map released their second full length record, Think Like An Owner (Velvet Blue Music). This time, he was backed by what had become his consistent line-up: Loop (bass), Heather Bray (guitar, voice) and Ben Heywood (drums). This record was a conscious departure from "Secrets By the Highway" for Dooley, a departure in a positive direction: “I have the Woody Allen work ethic of just continuing to work. What was wrong with the last project won’t be repeated in the next project. We made a decision to not repeat ourselves with Think Like An Owner, and even though we all love Secrets, we thought, Why do Secrets part two?” "Think Like an Owner" maintained the quality pop song crafting and seemingly effortless and catchy guitar hooks fans had now come to expect from Dooley, but it built on this, introducing a darker and more mature vibe to the music via post-punk, angular guitars and crashing cymbals. “Making albums is an emotional rollercoaster for me. It is an art, a business, a hobby. I have to take it seriously, but not too seriously, because I know it isn't saving lives,” says Dooley. Dooley’s music might not be saving lives, but it has gained him a plethora of rabid fans who revere him at indie guitar god status—quite a reputation to live up to. Fans will find him living well up to his reputation with the release of Map’s forthcoming EP San Francisco in the 90s. Map’s revolving door has brought in some new additions to support this new record: Paul Akers (keyboards) and Trevor Monks (drums). Together the threesome have found a collective sound that gives tribute to late-80s Brit pop and mid-60s American jangle rock. This infectious combination of sounds, combined with Dooley’s clear talent for song-writing, makes this new album his best to date.

Map (butterfly)
The map (Araschnia levana) is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is common throughout the lowlands of central and eastern Europe, and is expanding its range in Western Europe.
In the UK this species is a very rare vagrant, but there have also been several unsuccessful – and now illegal – attempts at introducing this species over the past 100 years or so: in the Wye Valley in 1912, the Wyre Forest in the 1920s, South Devon 1942, Worcester 1960s, Cheshire 1970s, South Midlands 1990s. All these introductions failed and eggs or larvae have never been recorded in the wild in the UK. (Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is now illegal to release a non-native species into the wild.)
The map is unusual in that its two annual broods look very different. The summer brood are black with white markings, looking like a miniature version of the white admiral and lacking most of the orange of the pictured spring brood.
The eggs are laid in long strings, one on top of the other, on the underside of stinging nettles, the larval foodplant. It is thought that these strings of eggs mimic the flowers of the nettles, thereby evading predators. The larvae feed gregariously and hibernate as pupae.
Goodbye (2011 film)

Cast
Plot
Noura (Leyla Zareh) is an attorney whose license has been revoked by the government, as her resultant attempts at escape meet with ever-mounting roadblocks. Evoking a sense of dread and despair, Rasoulof (himself officially constrained from making more films) constructs a fitting metaphor for the stultifying pressures faced by many in today’s Iran.
Awards
Winner of best director honors in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

Goodbye (Shila Amzah song)
"再見" (Pinyin: Zaijian, English: Goodbye) is a Mandopop song performed by Malaysian singer-songwriter Shila Amzah. The song was written by Kelvin Avon and Jessica Bennet and composed by Xiao Guang. The song was produced by Jun Kung and Kelvin Avon. It was released on 6 October 2015, by Shilala (HK) Limited as the second single from Shila's upcoming Mandarin album. The writers was inspired to write "Goodbye" after hearing Shila's previous single which was See You or Never. The song contains many Malaysian pop and Mandopop elements and its lyrics have Shila desiring and out-of-reach love interest. Shila said that this song has an English version of it that will be launch in her upcoming album.
Composition and lyrics
At three minutes and forty-six seconds, "Goodbye" is a song with moderately slow. The single is a continuation from her previous Chinese hit, “Zaijian Bu Zaijian” (再見不再見) — meaning, “See You or Never” — which was inspired from the singer’s real love story where she hesitated whether she should leave her boyfriend or not.Thus, the newest song provides an answer to the previous song where the singer decided to say “Goodbye” to her painful love and move on. The song was produced by platinum-selling music producer Kelvin Avon along with Hong Kong renowned drummer, singer and songwriter Jun Kung (恭碩良). In an interview with the TVB television show, “Jade Solid Gold” (劲歌金曲), Shila said that the reason she enlisted help from Jun Kung was because she had always wanted to work with a Hong Kong artiste and she knows that Kung has a good relationship with the people from her record company, Shilala (HK) Limited.

Is This Goodbye
by: Hank Williams, Jr.Well you say we are through and for me to me move on
But tell me sweet mama will you cry when I'm gone
Are you sure you mean it when you tell me to fly what I want to know is this goodbye
Oh after I leave you will you follow me around fightin' and fussin' all over this town
Are you gonna be happy or will you cry what I want to know is this goodbye
Now you know you've said this many times before
When your money runs out you're bangin' on my door
Are you gonna be good or try to black my eye what I want to know is this goodbye
Like a stubborn mule you always change your mind
Will the weather be fair or will it rain all the time
Will the lightenin' strike when me'n my blonde walks by
What I want to know is this goodbye
Now baby you know I always aim to please for I want your little heart to be at ease
I don't want no dynamite fallin' from the sky what I want to know is this goodbye
