Readers will also encounter such unique characters as Mr. Earp, a 100 percent West Virginian and 50 percent Cherokee, and Mr. Cotter, the archetypal New York cop turned fly-fishing gentleman.A unique portrayal of the fly-fishing world, In the Company of Rivers will have you laughing throughout the entirety of its pages.Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen.

Hi:) I’m Amy Applebaum. And I’m really glad you are here!
As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’.
Success is first and foremost an Inside Job.
I have seen it in my own life.
I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs.
Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.
We are giving so much to the world around us.
But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.
And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.
And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations.
You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation.
All you need to do is throw those earbuds in and drift off to sleep!Downloaded over 500,000 times on places like iTunes and Audible, my MOVE meditations don’t just ‘relax’ and destress, they are specifically designed to help you get MOVING and unstuck.So that you can finally live the life you have always wanted!
“This is truly amazing I feel so relaxed, confident and in charge of my own body. Thank you for this amazing piece of work.” ~ Colinwest15
Isn’t it time?
Isn’t it time to set aside the roadblocks that are impeding you from enjoying the miracle growing inside of you?
And it’s so easy.
Just put the earbuds in and listen.
Nothing simpler.All you need to open the door to an energized pregnancy (the EASY way)
is waiting for you here.

Magnetic Current

Edward Leedskalnin

Magnetic Current is a short pamphlet by eccentric sculptor and writer Edward Leedskalnin. Detailing his many experiments with magnets, this work posits that it is not metal itself that is magnetic. Rather, tiny individual magnet particles that circulate in and around the metal give it its pull.Edward Leedskalnin was born in Latvia in 1887. While his formal education lasted only until 4th grade, he was intensely curious and spent much of his youth reading. At the age of 26, Leedskalnin became engaged. But as the young woman was only 16, she (or her mother) decided that he wasn’t a suitable match and called off the wedding the day before it was set to occur. Heartbroken, Leedskalnin emigrated to the United States. In 1923, he purchased an undeveloped acre of land in Florida City. Over the next 28 years, Leedskalnin cut massive pieces of oolite rock from his property, moved them, and sculpted them—all on his own. He built a two-story tower from oolite, which served as his living quarters. In the grounds below, sculptures and carved stone furniture dot the landscape. The project was dedicated to his “Sweet Sixteen,” the woman who rejected him years before.During the years of his construction project, Leedskalnin studied and tested magnets from his home base of Rock Gate. His findings were eventually compiled into Magnetic Current, a short pamphlet detailing his theories of magnetism. The pamphlet explains many of his experiments. Using U-shaped, round, and bar magnets, as well as car batteries, light bulbs, and coils of wire, he demonstrates the movements of magnetic currents in a double helix pattern, swirling around each other to create pull.
