Samur Gunj
Samur Gunj (1380s-c.1455) was a daughter of Elbeg Nigülesügchi Khan and his senior wife Kobeguntai. Throughout her life she struggled for the preservation of the Borjigin clan.
Life
After her father had killed one of his sons and taken his wife as his own, he then killed his advisor Daiyuu for suspecting he had molested her. To prevent Daiyuu's family from taking revenge on him, he gave his daughter Samur in marriage to Daiyuu's son. Samur's husband was given command over the Oirats and made their taishi, or leader.
Since many of her clan were virtual prisoners of their guards, she convinced first her husband and then her son to launch campaigns to free them. After her son died in these struggles, she convinced her grandson Esen to become taishi. Samur supported him as he brought the Mongolian Plateau and most of the Silk Route under his control.
Though Esen first strove for unity between the Oirats and the Borjigin clan of his grandmother, he later turned against the Borjigin. and had several of its nobles killed. When his own daughter was about to give birth, he also intended to have the baby killed if it turned out to be male. Samur helped her great-granddaughter escape and hide. They first pretended a girl had been born. When it became known that this was not true, Samur took the boy to her ger for protection and finally entrusted him to Mongols loyal to the Borjigins to take him out of Esen's reach. The boy was Batu-Mongke, who would be a direct ancestor of Dayan Khan.
Samur
Samur is a specialized and highly qualified emergency system of Madrid, Spain. The name stands for S.A.M.U.R. (Servicio de Asistencia Municipal de Urgencia y Rescate). It is composed of a central base (Ronda de las Provincias s/n, en la Casa de Campo de Madrid), 17 operative bases and 190 vehicles (mainly named "Soporte Vital Básico" or S.V.B.-Basic Life Support- and "Soporte Vital Avanzado" or S.V.A. -Advanced Life Support-).
History
The starting point and deployment of the original structure was created by Simón Viñals Pérez in 1989 (former Madrid Health Counselor from 1989 to 2003), under the presidency of Agustín Rodríguez Sahagún. The first director of SAMUR and a key figure in the development was José Luis Gilarranz. New uniforms were designed and better selection and learning methods introduced. The pilot project started in June 1991 with the help of the former Mayor of Madrid, José María Álvarez del Manzano.
Once the success of the pilot was achieved, in December 1992, the service started.

Samur River
Samur (Rutul: Самыр; Lezgian: Самурвацl; Russian: Самур; Azerbaijani: Samurçay) is a river in Russia's Dagestan Republic, partially flowing through Azerbaijan.
Overview
Samur river made from glaciers and mountain springs starts in the Greater Caucasus mountains. It originates in the northeastern part of Guton Mount at elevation 3,648 m (11,969 ft). Descending from the mountains for 7 km (4.3 mi), the river receives its tributary Khalakhur River flowing down from an elevation of 3,730 m (12,240 ft). The length of the river is 216 km (134 mi), its basin 5,000 km2 (1,900 sq mi). The elevated and midsections of the river from through the territory of Russia, lower sections flow through Azerbaijan making up the Russian-Azerbaijani border. After joining its other tributary Usuxçay River, the width of the river grows. Once the river is in the open Caspian basin, it splits some of its parts into Tahirçay (34 km (21 mi)) and Uğar 28 km (17 mi) rivers on Azerbaijani territory. The river mainly feeds on rain and underground waters with its volume broken up as follows: 42% from rain, 32% from underground waters, 22% from snow, 4% from glaciers. The river supplies irrigation water to Samur-Absheron channel which follows south to Jeyranbatan reservoir.
