US calls for 256% tariff on imports of steel from China – Imports from South Korea, India and Italy also face tariffs. However Taiwan found not to have dumped steel in U.S. markets
Corrosion-resistant steel imports from China were sold at unfairly low prices and will be taxed at 256 percent, according to a preliminary finding of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Imports from India, South Korea and Italy will be taxed at lower rates, the agency said in a statement. Imports from Taiwan and Italy's Marcegaglia SpA will not face anti-dumping tariffs. The government found dumping margins of 3.25 percent for most South Korean steel imports, with Hyundai Steel Co.'s shipments subject to duties of 3.5 percent. Imports from Italian companies excluding Marcegaglia will be taxed at 3.1 percent. Indian imports are subject to duties from 6.6 percent to 6.9 percent.
"We're concerned that the dumping that's occurring is at higher levels than these determinations reflect," Tim Brightbill, a partner at Wiley Rein LLP, a law firm representing U.S. steelmaker Nucor Corp., said in an interview. "We have serious concerns that these preliminary duties are not enough at a time when unfairly priced imports continue to surge into the U.S. market at unprecedented rates."
U.S. producers including Nucor, U.S. Steel Corp. and Steel Dynamics Inc. filed cases in June 2015 alleging that some products from China, India, Italy, South Korea and Taiwan had been dumped in the U.S., harming domestic companies. In November 2015, the government found that all those countries, except Taiwan, subsidised their domestic production by as much as 236 percent of its price.
Import barrier
These tariffs, combined with countervailing duties as high as 236 percent announced in November, create a barrier to imports of these steel products from China, said Caitlin Webber, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence in Washington.
"A 500 percent duty is obviously prohibitive," Webber said in an interview. "The lower ones are much less prohibitive and would probably have a lower impact on imports."
U.S. steelmakers have filed three sets of cases against imports of hot-rolled, cold-rolled and corrosion-resistant steel after deliveries from abroad surged. The price of hot-rolled steel coil, the benchmark product, is down about 40 percent, with domestic mills idling as much as 38 percent of capacity after imports climbed by 38 percent in 2014.
Imports of all steel products through October 2015 rose 3.9 percent in 2015. The Commerce Department estimated that the value of imports of anti-corrosive steel – coils of the metal which have been coated with zinc or other treatments to prevent rust – from the target countries to be $2.16 billion.
Calls to the spokesman's office at China's Ministry of Commerce in Beijing weren't answered. An official who answered a call to the China Iron & Steel Association couldn't immediately comment.

11:30 AM PDT - 1:00 PM PDT
This webinar is a discussion and review of the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies' After-Action Report, Getting It Wrong: An Indictment with a Blueprint for Getting It Right-Disability Rights, Obligations and Responsibilities Before, During and After Disasters, published in May 2018. This report is an unvarnished account of the devastation from poor planning and failed execution throughout the 2017- 2018 disasters as reported by people with disabilities and allies with first-hand knowledge. The report also documents promising and good practices that can be refined, customized and replicated. Most importantly, it contains recommendations for "getting it right" before the next disasters strike.
Understand the effect of ADA noncompliance on individuals with disabilities before, during and after the 2017-2018 disasters.
Understand the complex circumstances contributing to the disproportionate impact of disasters on people with disabilities.
Be aware of the recommendations for improving preparedness and disaster resilience established by a broad coalition of disability inclusive emergency management stakeholders.
Marcie Roth is the CEO of The Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies providing local, national and global disability rights leadership through a variety of contracted and collaborative projects committed to a shared mission of disability rights, equal access and full inclusion for the whole community before, during and after disasters. Her primary focus is on capacity building for community leaders and emergency management stakeholders working together to prepare for emergencies and recover from disasters by providing tools, resources, training and technical assistance to prepare for, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards, optimizing accessibility as a critical lifesaving and life sustaining foundation for building and sustaining community-wide resilience. She was appointed by President Obama to the U.S Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from 2009 to 2017, serving as Senior Advisor to the Administrator and congressionally mandated Disability Coordinator for the agency. While at FEMA, she established the Office of Disability Integration and Coordination (ODIC), serving as its Director. Under her leadership, ODIC led national transformation towards integrating the access and functional needs of the whole community throughout emergency preparedness and disaster response, recovery and mitigation.
Melissa Marshall, J.D. is the Policy Director of Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies. She is also the Principal of Melissa Marshall Disability Consulting, LLC. Melissa has had a lifelong career in disability rights. Her most recent efforts have focused on the legal rights of children and adults with disabilities before, during and after disasters. Throughout the 2017-2018 disasters, Ms. Marshall managed the Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies Hotline and provided the Partnership with both policy expertise and operations coordination. Previously, she was the founding Executive Director of the Disabilities Network of Eastern Connecticut, a Center for Independent Living; the first director of the Connecticut Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Mental Illness (PAIMI) national program; the Executive Director of the Connecticut Business Leadership Network, a coalition of corporations committed to maximizing employment for people with disabilities; and Executive Director of Advocacy Unlimited, a peer-led organization which educates people with mental health conditions in forensic institutions and in the community about their legal rights.
June Isaacson Kailes has a Disability Policy Consulting practice and is the Associate Director of the Harris Family Center for Disability and Health Policy at Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, California. June's consulting and publications focus on building disability actionable competencies in the worlds of health care and emergency management to ensure people with disabilities and others with access and functional needs are integrated and included in service delivery processes, procedures, protocols, policies and training. She has worked nationally with FEMA, the Centers for Disease Control, Department of Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services on policy, planning and training issues. In the emergency management world, June is a pioneer, leader and innovator. Examples of her impact and influence include: researching and writing "Southern California Wildfires After Action Report;" developing inclusive emergency management plans that close service gaps, prevent civil rights violations, and emphasize and incorporate standard operating procedures, field operation guides, just-in-time checklists, and exercises; offering training that replaces the ambiguous disability etiquette, sensitivity and awareness, with focusing on maximizing impact, actionable disability practice competencies and measurable skill sets needed to provide equally effective services; conceiving, promoting, and moving the emergency management world from the vague "special needs" focus to operationalizing an access and functional needs approach to planning and response and fostering a clearer understanding of who is included in the large numbers and diversity of disability; originating and working with the State of California to adopt and implement the use of Functional Assessment Service Teams (FAST); and documenting the critical need to re-evaluating the use of emergency registries in order to avoid symbolic planning.
Mark Starford is the Director of The Board Resource Center (BRC). Since 1994 BRC has been providing leadership training and developing accessible tools for organizations and government agencies that advocate for, and provide services to, underserved communities. BRC's focus is on developing adapted sustainable multi-media materials to increase community inclusion, personal safety, and civic engagement for persons with disabilities and older persons.

The Inspire Actors Studio BIRMINGHAM is a hub for actors who have already had some formal training and want to keep on top of their talent and skill. A class for trained actors should bring out the best in the actor to enable them to excel. And this is exactly what the Inspire Actors Studio does. Think of us like the Hollywood/NYC acting groups, where actors attended classes to keep sharp and develop further.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A CERTIFICATE, THEN WE PROBABLY ARE NOT THE RIGHT CLASS FOR YOU.
There is no magic pill that will make you a better actor – it's all down to you and the work you put in. What we give you at the Inspire Actors Studio is the opportunity to do the work, develop existing skills, acquire new ones, practice your craft and continue learning, because as actors, we never stop learning. Athletes train daily to stay sharp, actors should do the same.
It's when uncertainty and doubt creep in that confidence and self-belief can be shaken. But the many greats of the silver screen have one thing in common – complete certainty about themselves and the decisions they make about their performance. So at Inspire, we're all about supporting and encouraging our actors.
We believe in our actors. And elements of each class focus on motivational coaching to enable them to really flourish in a positive, nurturing environment.
Inspire classes will be delivered by Michael Keogh, he has appeared in some of the UK's top TV shows; Most recently working with Cillian Murphy in Season 5 of "Peaky Blinders", also in 2018 he appeared in the WW2 film "Hurricane" directed by two time BAFTA & EMMY Winning Director David Blair also starring Iwan Rheon. With a wealth of experience and sharing screen time with such greats as Michael Caine, Tim Roth and Cillian Murphy to name drop a few, actors attending our Inspire Actors Studio Birmingham classes are in safe hands.
Michael has been working on and developing a brand new acting technique over the last 5 years and has been trialling it in our Manchester classes over the last few months with fantastic results; The technique simplifies many things for the actor. Classes will be based around this technique when working on scenes.
We will also have special guest tutors deliver our classes.
Class content will vary from month to month to keep actors on their toes. Here are some of the elements we will cover:
SCREEN ACTING
USING/UTILISING IMAGINATION
SCENE STUDY
EMOTIONAL PREP
AUDITION PREP

Kungsleden has signed a lease agreement with MKS Instruments AB in the new property Vagnslidret 1, also known as Isblocket. The five-year agreement means that Kungsleden has filled all leasable office space in Isblocket in Malmö.
Kungsleden AB (publ) has signed a five-year lease agreement with MKS Instruments AB who will lease 551 sqm in the property Vagnslidret 1, also called Isblocket, in the city district Hyllie, Malmö. The agreement means that Kungsleden fills the last vacant office space in the property, which is now fully leased. Kungsleden took possession of Isblocket on April 1, 2016.
In addition to MKS Instruments AB, companies such as Malmö municipality's parking company, Jaguar and Land Rover, Merit Consulting, SsangYong Import AB as well as Kungsleden themselves have chosen Isblocket as their office building.
"We are of course glad to be able to welcome MKS Instruments AB to Isblocket, and that we have now filled the property with exciting companies who all contribute to Hyllie's impressive growth. We look forward to, in cooperation with our tenants, actively take part in the development of Malmö's most expansive area", says Tobias Nilsson, Property Manager at Kungsleden.
"We look forward to moving into Isblocket this summer! Hyllie is of interest to us as the location enables us to recruit from both Copenhagen and southern Sweden. The close proximity to Copenhagen Airport is also of importance as we have international employees who regularly travel to Malmö. We are excited to be able to move into these new and modern premises, which will be the basis for our global activities and growth ambitions", says Jakob Mohr Christensen, CEO of MKS Instruments AB.

Posted November 21, 2016 by Brassica Contributor & filed under Broccoli, Detoxification, Glucoraphanin, Health.
… and you are confused! Rightfully so.
True detoxification doesn't happen in two days or five days. It happens 365 days a year. Every single body is equipped with its own detox system and the key is to find ways to support it every day.
Ashley Koff, RD, award-winning nutrition expert and creator of the Better Nutrition Simplified Membership, shares three simple steps to help you optimize the body's detoxification system every day.
Limit exposure to, and consumption of, environmental toxins. When you can, opt for organic fruits and vegetables, as well as natural household cleaners. Alcohol, cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust are other culprits to a stalled detoxification system.
Of all the cruciferous vegetables, broccoli has the highest levels of the phytonutrient glucoraphanin (glu·co·raph'·an·in). Studied for decades, glucoraphanin helps to optimize the body's own detoxification system by upregulating the phase II enzyme system – essentially, it helps to tag toxins for elimination while aiding in the actual elimination process. Add broccoli (and glucoraphanin) to your plate every day with the help of these recipes.
It is no surprise that our body needs water to function and our detox system is no different. To help get the recommend amount (approx. a half gallon) of water each day, be sure to guzzle some H2O before bed and as soon as you wake up – even before your morning cup of coffee or tea.
You can also get glucoraphanin from TrueBroc® in some of these Ashley Koff Approved (AKA) products – SulforaClear™ and OncoPLEX™, among others.

News from Journals: An interview with the former editor of Legacy
The Journals: Management and Publishing Solutions department (J:MaPS) monthly J:MaPS updates will inform you of the latest news including awards, editorial changes, and new issue releases. This month features an interview with Jennifer Tuttle, co-editor and previous editor of Legacy, on her experience editing a scholarly journal.
An interview with Jennifer Tuttle
How did you become involved with Legacy? What led to you becoming the editor?
My first association with Legacy was as an author, and it came at an auspicious moment. I published the first ever "From the Archives" feature, in the first Legacy issue published by the University of Nebraska Press, in the first issue of the new millennium: 17.1 (2000). Little did I know then that I would have the opportunity to edit the journal and to work so closely with UNP, two experiences that are among the most rewarding of my career.
I was invited in 2006 to serve as coeditor as part of the editorial team assembled by Nicole Tonkovich. It was an undiluted pleasure to work with her, with the rest of the editorial staff, and with the many authors whose work was assigned to me. Nicole taught me a great deal, directly and by example, about rigorous evaluation, meticulous editing, and generous leadership. She did far more than simply fulfill her own editorial duties: she mentored me, giving my own editorial work individualized attention. Never again will a dangling modifier escape my notice! When the time came in 2012 for her to move on to other projects, I had the privilege of becoming editor in chief, a post I held for a five-year term. Earlier this year I in turn passed the job to Susan Tomlinson, whom I had previously brought on as a coeditor. While stepping down from the editorship was deeply bittersweet for me, it's been thrilling to watch Susan take the helm with such graceful mastery.
What was the most challenging aspect of being a journal editor?
Balancing Legacy work with other commitments. Like many academics, I have a full load of teaching, scholarship, and service duties as well as a family deserving of my time and attention; adding a journal editorship to that full plate is no small thing. Looking back on my five years as editor, I do not believe there was even one day on which I said to myself, "Excellent! I am all caught up." There is always more to do than time allows, and there are myriad firm deadlines that must be met. And the work itself must always be excellent, because the quality of the journal reflects upon everyone—editors, authors, and the press.
Achieving this balance is possible, and I feel satisfied that I did so. However, its challenges consist only partly in the day-to-day time management alluded to above. More profound for me were the competing desires of my two scholarly identities. Like many editors, I made a self-conscious decision to put some of my own scholarly projects on the slow track; this was the right course of action, yet it did not quiet the siren song of my own scholarship. Although I remained productive, I missed the sustained attention to research and writing. At the same time, I adored the Legacy editing work so much—truly, so very much—that I always wished I had more time for it than I did. Reworking authors' texts, burnishing their prose, crafting each issue into an organic whole are creative, pleasurable, and finite tasks, and I often found myself wishing I had more hours in the day to devote to them.
What was the most rewarding?
Being in a position to shape the field. Journal editors have a great deal of power, and it incumbent upon them to use it wisely and well. With our 25th anniversary issue in 2009, Legacy invited rigorous assessment of the journal's defining terms—"American," "women," and "writers"—and articulated our renewed commitment to literary recovery, and I took on those imperatives when I assumed the editorship. If I may say so, some of the most influential recent scholarship assessing the state of the field of (for lack of more nuanced terms) American women writers and archives-based research appeared in Legacy. Likewise, we have explored the ways that the scholarly and pedagogical work of academe might address the myriad structural inequalities about which so many of us are deeply concerned. I have enjoyed having the opportunity to contribute to this work and, since assuming the editorship, having a hand in charting its course.
What advice would you give someone interested in editing a scholarly journal?
Do it! You will thank me later.
There are so many day-to-day concerns associated with editing a journal that one sometimes must make a conscious choice to keep the eye trained on one's larger vision for the journal and the field. Don't neglect to take time for that; it is what makes all the rest of it more meaningful.
Journal editing has a lot of moving parts, so develop an organizational system for managing that. Since I became a devotee of the "table" function in Word, I have never looked back. (Nicole Tonkovich taught me this, too.)
Delegate. Then follow up.
Create space (and time) to do the work by seeking a course release from your home institution.
Befriend other journal editors. Not only are they smart, dynamic, and generous people whom it is a pleasure to know, but they are valuable colleagues with whom to share information and from whom to seek advice.
Use the resources provided by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ), and make sure your journal has a membership.
Never underestimate the value of really good SWAG.
Set aside time for your own scholarship, establishing reasonable goals for your productivity. Managing expectations is a beautiful thing.
If you work with a press to produce your journal, be respectful and appreciative of their needs and contributions, because they are true partners in the endeavor.

Primary school goes hatty in tribute to much-loved teacher
Primary school pupils in Bradford are supporting a national charity's fundraising event in tribute to a teacher who died of a brain tumour.
Green Lane Primary School has signed up to take part in the Brain Tumour Research charity's Wear A Hat Day for the second year following the loss of assistant head teacher, Andrew Whitton. Pupils raised £1,300 at last year's event by going to school in their most flamboyant and outrageous hats, and dancing through the school in a giant conga line. Andrew, a much-loved teacher and colleague at Green Lane Primary, was unable to attend but enjoyed the photos of the event from his bed at Chapel Allerton Hospital.
Andrew never returned to work at Green Lane Primary and just a few months after Wear A Hat Day, pupils were told the devastating news that he had died.
Rachel Allinson, fellow assistant head teacher at the school said: "Wear A Hat Day 2018 was such a hit with the children, they absolutely loved fundraising as it was their own little way of honouring Mr. Whitton. This year will be all the more poignant as Andy is no longer with us.
"We're a big school, with over 700 pupils, but we are one big family and losing Andy was so sad. We just want to honour him and demonstrate to our pupils that something positive can come from tragedy."
Andrew, who lived in Apperly Bridge with his husband, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in May 2017. The teacher underwent surgery and treatment but died just over a year later in July 2018.
Matthew Wright, community fundraising manager at Brain Tumour Research, said: "It's touching that the pupils and staff at Green Lane Primary are so committed to fundraising in Andrew's memory. They have raised an incredible amount so far and we are extremely grateful for their support.
"Andrew's story reminds us not only that brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, but also that less than 20% of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond five years. We cannot allow this desperate situation to continue and we hope that Andrew's story will inspire others to take part in Wear A Hat Day on Friday 29 March 2019."
Wear A Hat Day has raised over a million pounds since it was launched by Brain Tumour Research 10 years ago and is the culmination of Brain Tumour Awareness Month in March. The big day will see schools, workplaces, families and individuals across the UK fundraising and taking part in fun events to raise awareness of brain tumours and help fund life-saving research.
Funds raised will develop the charity's network of world-class brain tumour research centres in the UK where scientists are focused in improving outcomes for patients and, ultimately, finding a cure.

We want research funding parity with breast cancer and leukaemia. We are calling for a £30-35 million investment every year for research into brain tumours in order to fund the basic research groundwork needed to accelerate the translation from laboratory discoveries into clinical trials and fast-track new therapies for this devastating disease.
The Brain Tumour Research charity is a powerful campaigning organisation and represents the voice of the brain tumour community across the UK. We helped establish and provide the ongoing Secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group for Brain Tumours (APPGBT). We are supporting the crucial APPGBT 2018 Inquiry into the economic and social impacts of brain tumours and will publish their report in the autumn. We are also a key influencer in the development strategy for the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission.

American Military Patches, Other Insignia and Decorations of World War Two by Dr. Howard G. Lanham c.2005

Several unofficial insignia existed that were presented to aviators who survived some more of the harrowing experiences all flyers faced. These were never officially approved, but were worn by U.S. Air Force personnel. Both the Order of the Winged Boot and the Gold Fish Club originated in the Royal Air Force and were adopted by U.S. personnel in the European Theater. The Order of the Winged Boot was given to flyers who were shot down behind enemy lines and evaded capture to return to their commands. The Gold Fish Club was for those who were picked up by air sea rescue after crash landing or parachuting into water. The Sea Squatter's pin was awarded to allied airman who crashed at sea and used an inflatable rubber life raft made by Walter Kiddle and Company. This particular pin was awarded to Marine pilot Robert F. Lee Sun, who was the first Chinese-American Naval aviator and flew ground support missions for the invasion of Peleliu.
Although these insignia were titled and often awarded in a light hearted and humorous way, the fact is that aviators were well aware of the experience that they represented. The patches were commonly worn on the left pocket flap of the service uniform coat below the wing badge and ribbons. Within the Royal Air Force and sometimes also by U.S. airmen they were worn under the lapel since they were not regulation. The Goldfish Club had a sponsor and the appearance of the insignia is fairly uniform (some examples are bullion embroidery). The Order of the Winged Boot insignia was made in a number of styles and shows more variation. Two different examples are above, courtesy of John Vargas. As might be expected both insignia are uncommon and have been faked. The Goodfish Club still exists and membership is awarded to current flyers, both civilian and military, who are rescued at sea.

College majors with the highest salaries, per analysis of most recent U.S. Census data

If you earn a bachelor's degree, you have a better chance of being employed at a better-paying job.
But which college majors lead to the highest salaries? A recent study from HeyTutor attempted to find out using data collected by the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Education Research.
HoustonChronicle.com reveals Texas unemployment numbers and jobs added across the state for the month of April
The information says that full-time workers with a bachelor's degree have a median annual salary of $60,996. Meanwhile, high school graduates that didn't go to college earn $37,024 per year
The data collected by the National Center for Education Research shows that the cost of college tuition is on the upswing, and student loan debts are increasing.
Those who have received a high school diploma have an unemployment rate of 4.6 percent. However, individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree or above have unemployment rates below 2.5 percent
The most-recent U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data comes from the 2016–17 academic year. During that time period Colleges awarded a record 1.96 million bachelor's degrees.
The most popular majors were associated with business (381,000 degrees), health professions (238,000 degrees), social sciences and history (159,000 degrees), psychology (117,000 degrees), biological and biomedical sciences (117,000 degrees), and engineering (116,000 degrees).
However, even college professors argue that one's college major is not the be-all end-all.
While field of study is important, it does not control one's financial destiny—there is great variation in earnings within majors," Georgetown University by Dr. Anthony P. Carnevale and Dr. Ban Cheah said in a recent study.
Above, you can click through and see the top 25 majors with the highest-paying salaries according to that study from HeyTutor.
The company analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Education Statistics. HeyTutor looked at the median early career wage, median mid-career wage, unemployment rate, and underemployment rate of the most common undergraduate majors.
You can see the HeyTutor.com's full report and methodology here.
All of the quotes and information in the slides above is also from that study, which can be found on HeyTutor.com.

Moroccan Navy Rescues 140 Illegal Migrants in One Day
North Africa PostNovember 9, 2018 5:30 pm
Morocco's royal navy has rescued 140 illegal migrants, including women and children, while patrolling in the Mediterranean Sea during the last 24 hours.
The rescued migrants, who were trying to reach Spain, have all been brought safely to Moroccan ports, the navy said in a statement.
Earlier in October, the Moroccan navy saved 31 migrants stranded at sea and recovered at least 11 bodies.
On October 6 and 7, units of the Moroccan Navy had assisted thirty-one inflatable boats of different categories that were in difficulty in the Mediterranean.
The boats were carrying 615 candidates for illegal migration. They were all brought back safely to Moroccan ports.
More than 43,000 migrants have made it to Spain since the start of the year, including around 38,000 by sea, according to the International Organization for Migration.
However, more than 1,700 have died or disappeared in the Mediterranean during the same period, including 362 off the Spanish coast, according to the IOM.
During the past nine months, Moroccan authorities have dismantled more than 122 trafficking networks and foiled more than 68,000 migration attempts.
Meanwhile, some 50,000 migrants living in Morocco have benefited from the two phases of the operation to regularize their status.
In its human rights report, the US State Department welcomed Morocco's protection of migrants' rights and its regularization and integration policy.
The Moroccan government "cooperated with the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other humanitarian organizations in providing protection and assistance to refugees, returning refugees, asylum seekers, and other persons of concern," said the report, adding that the government also provided funding to humanitarian organizations to provide social services to migrants, including refugees.
The State Department hailed Morocco's efforts to give migrants access to basic services, saying that recognized refugees and migrants were able to work and access health care and education services, including publicly funded professional and vocational training.

It was a good game, it was a little slow after about 30 worms and the swimmers were too slow. Also you should think about adding sound, and maybe a way to win. Is there a way to win, well if there is I haven't found it.
I really liked your graphics, but the point of the game wasn't very clear and the swimmer moved slowly. If you could fix that (not too hard, I'd think) then it'll be an awesome game!


Gurudwara Mata Sahib - Gurudwaras in India.
This Gurudwara is dedicated to Mata Sahib Kaur, who was the wife of the famous Sikh Saint Guru Gobind. As per the Sikh tradition, when a person accepts Sikhism as their religion, then they are considered to have accepted Guru Gobind Singhji as their father and his wife Mata Kaur as their mother. So, Mata Sahib is considered to be the mother of all the Sikhs, and hence the Gurudwara that has been dedicated to her in Maharashtra assumes importance.
This is the place where Mata Sahib Kaur undertook meditation. In fact, she is supposed to have meditated both in her previous and current birth at this same place. The when she became the wife of Guru GobindJi also, she continued to use this place for her usual prayers and that is why today the Gurudwara that stands here is dedicated to her memory.
As per the old tradition, Guru Gobind Singh used to stay at Gurudwara Hira Ghat which was just a few kilometres away. He used to stay there and provide religious discourses. These religious prayers and discussions could happen during the day and evening and Guru ji could come over to the Gurdwara Mata Sahib for lunch. The langer also called the kitchen was overseen by the Mata and it was there that meals were provided to most of the religious groups who had come to listen to the discourses by Guru Gobind. Guruji also used this place as a resting ground after his elongated periods of religious travels and hunting.
In keeping with the tradition, even today, there are free meals that are provided at this Gurudwara Mata Sahib. The Gurudwara is maintained by Nihang Singhs who belong to the tribe of the warriors. The are in charge of the Gurudwara as well as the lush two hundred and fifty acres of land that also belongs to them as part of the Gurudwara's trust. They ensure the good maintenance of the place of worship and also offer free meals in the afternoons towards the social cause. It is a matter of pride to say that the practice that was started by Mata Sahib Kaur is still being followed diligently and this makes this one of the main attractions of this place.
Mata Sahib had supposedly stored some weapons here, that she used in worship and that could be a reason why the maintenance of this place is now under the erstwhile warrior tribes. As per the history of the Gurudwara, it was from this place that Mata Sahib sent some weapons to Guru GobindJi in his trips to Delhi. Mata had left from this place to Delhi, where she breathed her last. She also took some weapons from here to Delhi along with her. So, this place also assumes importance because she had performed prayers and rituals at this place in her last days.
The Gurudwara is strategically located between the two other famous places of worship, the Gurudwara Shikar Ghat Sahib and Gurudwara HiraGhat Sahib. Due to this advantageous location, there are a lot of tourists who come in groups to visit the Gurudwaras in and around this area. There are a lot of visitors who come in the tourists buses in large numbers and they visit the Gurudwara along with their friends and family. The free meal scheme offered here is a big blessing for such tourists and they can continue their trips after some considerable amount of relaxation. There are a lot of Gurudwaras in this area other than these three and the tourists can have a nice trip thanks to the services offered at the Gurudwaras here.
For travellers from major parts of the country, Mumbai airport that is close to four hundred and fifty kilometres away from the city of Nanded is a major airport. However, Nanded's Guru GobindJi airport also is one other airport that caters to the pilgrims visiting these Gurudwaras.
Nanded railway station with good connectivity to the internal transport systems is a major rail head of the place.
Though taxis and other internal means of transport are available right from the Mumbai airport, it could get costly. The best way is to get to Nanded and then hire a taxi and visit all Gurudwaras in and around the place.

Anambra guber: Etiaba expresses confidence in APC's victory as he submits nomination form
Aspirant for the Anambra governorship contest in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ben Etiaba, has assured the people of the state that his decision to throw his hat into the ring for the governorship race was to redefine governance and use the state to set the pace for the entire South-East by giving priority to education, health, agriculture and security.
Etiaba, who spoke at the national secretariat of the party on Tuesday, while submitting his nomination form ahead of the APC primaries coming up on June 26, expressed optimism that the party would win the election.
"Anambra State is unique and dynamic and so deserves a leader that can further reposition it for greater advancement. I offer myself for service because I have values to add and I have the experience to turn things around positively for our dear state. If we get it right and reposition, Anambra State stands the chance of being the number one state in Nigeria from any angle we look at it. Our people are not only industrious, they are brilliant and focused. We have a history of excellence in wealth creation, business, entrepreneurship and even education but we need leaders who can help us explore all our potentials and refocus our energies,"
Etiaba, who solemnly led about 15 party members from Anambra State to Abuja to submit the expression of interest and nomination forms, commended the Federal Government for various infrastructural development projects that have taken place or currently taking place in all the federal constituencies of the state.
Etiaba, a former Chairman of the United Kingdom chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN), said he deliberately came to the secretariat without funfair and pageantry because the time for celebration is yet to come.
However, he pointed out that he has nothing against those who came into the secretariat triumphantly, adding that people are different and so approaches also differ.
The aspirant, who was personally received by the Secretary of the Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the party, Senator John Akpanudoedehe expressed confidence that he would emerge the party's candidate whether the exercise is through election or by consensus.
He, therefore, appealed to the Anambra people to vote for the APC candidate in the next election.
Responding, the National Secretary James Akpanudoedehe said, APC thanked Chief Ben Etiaba for picking a ticket and picking APC as his party. He added that the ruling party would provide a level playing field for all its aspirants.
