The Liangshan Dog () is a medium-sized semi-feral scenthound originally bred by the Yi people of Liangshan Yi Prefecture in Sichuan province, China. Liangshan dogs are prized for their tracking ability, endurance and ferocity while hunting wild boar in mountainous terrain. Liangshan dogs hunt a variety of prey at variable altitudes and climates and are often deliberately underfed to improve drive to be successful.

Description 
Liangshan dogs have triangular eyes, rounded drop ears, a short, double coat and bushy curved tails. Their heads are black; however, the rest of their body is a mix of reds, yellows, and grey. It is not unusual for the hairs to be banded.

The River Banwy is a river about  long in Powys, Wales. It is a tributary of the River Vyrnwy.

The Banwy rises in the hills near the pass which takes the A458 road between Mallwyd and Welshpool. The river is called Nant Cerrig-y-groes at its source near Moel y Llyn. Then flowing east, it joins a number of lesser streams before reaching Pont Twrch near the village of Y Foel, at its confluence with the river Twrch. Two miles further on, it is joined by the river Gam, which flows down from the Nant yr Eira, between Y Foel and Llangadfan.

After flowing past the small village of Llanerfyl, the river meanders between hills of moderate altitude to reach a bridge at Llanfair Caereinion. For the last  of its course it turns northwards through a narrow valley. 'Yr Hafesb' is its local name here. It passes Mathrafal, the seat and court of the kings of Powys. Its confluence with the Vyrnwy is near Newbridge.

The Frank Melville Memorial Park is a privately run, publicly accessible park surrounding the Melville Mill Pond in Setauket, New York.  It was dedicated in 1937 to the memory of Frank Melville Jr., father of local philanthropist Ward Melville. The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 19, 2010. The 24 acre park contains a walking trail and is also home to the Three Village Garden Club Arboretum, which is maintained by a group of local volunteers.

A series of mills have inhabited the Mill Pond as early as 1660. The current mill house was built with the help of Donald A. Spetta in 1937 and contains a running simulated mill wheel which continues this historical legacy. The mill house also services as the park headquarters.

Another historic structure is the Satterly Barn which was built in the early 1700s. A stable was added around 1937 and the structure was re-sided and re-roofed in 1968 under the direction of Ward Melville. Nearby is the John Satterly House which is claimed to be one of the oldest houses in the Setauket area. It was completely restored in 1968 by Ward Melville.

Another property owned by the park foundation is the Bates House, a 1922 Colonial Revival-style house that was acquired in 1955. The house is rented by the foundation year round for special events.

Sitting adjacent to the park on the East side is the Patriot's Hollow State Forest. It is home to "Patriot's rock", which was once a meeting place of the Setalcott Indians and the site of Reverend Nathaniel Brewster's first sermon. During the Revolutionary war, it was the site of a skirmish with Tory forces garrisoned in the nearby Presbyterian church on August 24, 1772. The property was sold to the Three Village Community Trust in 2010.

Sam (died 2000) was an army dog who served with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps Dog Unit. While serving in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, Sam helped to apprehend an armed man and also to hold back an armed mob besieging a compound where Serbs were taking refuge. He received the Dickin Medal, the animals' equivalent of the Victoria Cross, in 2003 for these acts of bravery.

Life and career
Sam was a German Shepherd that served with the Dog Unit of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps. Sam and his handler, Sergeant Iain Carnegie, were part of the Peacekeeping force in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

While patrolling in the town of Drvar in 1998 with the First Battalion of The Royal Canadian Regiment, their patrol came under fire from a gunman. After firing, the gunman ran into a bar, whereupon Sam chased him and brought him down. Sergeant Carnegie then disarmed the man and retrieved a loaded pistol.

Six days after this incident, a mob of rioters armed with crowbars, clubs and stones surrounded a compound where about 50 Serbs were taking refuge. Sam's team managed to force their way into the compound and he held off the rioters until reinforcements arrived.

Sam retired from service two years later, at the age of 10. He died from natural causes soon afterwards.

Recognition
Sam posthumously received the Dickin Medal, the animals' equivalent of the Victoria Cross, in 2003 in recognition of his work in Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was the fifty ninth animal to receive the award. The citation for the award, which was given on 14 January 2003, read as follows:

His handler, Sergeant Carnegie, mentioned after receiving the posthumous award on behalf of Sam that he could never have attempted to carry out his duties without Sam. He also mentioned that Sam never backed off when facing the rioting mob.

Extortion, is a 2017 American thriller film, starring Eion Bailey, Bethany Joy Lenz, Barkhad Abdi, and Danny Glover.

Synopsis
Kevin Riley and his family get stuck on a deserted island. A fisherman named Miguel Kabo finds them and asks for one million dollar in exchange for the survival of his family. Riley says he doesn't have that amount of money, so Kabo captures Riley and forces him to try to get the one million dollars however he can.

Riley is able to get the money by calling in favours from some of his friends, but when Kabo is taking him back to the island, he traps Riley in a cabin and sinks the boat before catching a lift with an accomplice. Riley is able to escape and is rescued by a passing tourist ship, but is unable to convince the local police of his story, as he cannot provide verifiable names and the evidence could equally suggest that he paid someone off to help him get rid of his wife and son. Recalling a distinctive wound on Kabo’s arm after seeing someone with a similar scar, Riley is able to find the doctor who treated the injury and convince her to help him find Kabo. Unfortunately, when he finds Kabo’s house and boat details, the situation escalates into a stand-off where Riley tries to take Kabo’s child hostage and the child is killed with a harpoon gun, forcing Riley to slit Kabo’s throat in self-defence.

Riley is taken into custody in the hospital, with Constable Haagen now certain that his story of his lost family was faked, but Riley is able to escape. While his own investigative efforts failed, Riley finds Kabo’s accomplice on a bus by chance, but although the other man is hit by a truck, he remains conscious long enough to indicate the island where Kabo abandoned his family. Running to a nearby marina, Riley is able to steal a boat and get back to the island, where he finds his wife and son still alive, albeit weak. He gets his son back to the boat, but it drifts off while he is trying to get his wife to safety, and he collapses from his injuries. However, a police helicopter pursuing his stolen boat comes into land and his eyes open, suggesting that Riley’s family will survive.
