by BWW News Desk - June 15, 2016

This belief led him in writing 'Mind Shift: Stories of Transformative Physical Training and Other Curious Tales,' (published by Trafford Publishing) a holistic primer on physical training gone old school.

New California Wine Edition is Released
by BWW News Desk - June 15, 2016
Marquis Publishing, an affiliate of the Marquis Gallery announces the release of Marques Vickers' 2016 edition of 'So You Think You Know California Wine?' The book identifies emerging wine production trends shaping the California industry. The concise illustrated edition profiles the largest twenty-seven California wine grapes tracking popularity and prominence. Drawing on 2015 grape harvest data from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Vickers identifies a significant grape divide between the recognized premium wine regions of Napa and Sonoma and the lesser regarded bulk wine producers of California's Central Valley in both grape yields and values. During 2015, California harvested 3.7 million tons of wine grapes. The Central Valley region produced 73% of the red and 70% of the white wine grapes. Although Napa accounts for less than 5% of red and 2% of white wine grapes, their values exceed over ten times the identical Central Valley varietal. Vickers' edition stresses how real estate valuation for plantable acreage directly influences wine pricing. Chardonnay was the largest produced grape accounting for 16% of the overall yield, a remarkable evolution considering the grape constituted less than 2% of California's white grape production forty years ago (when the production statistics were initially published). Cabernet Sauvignon remains the state's most lucrative grape and second largest produced. The Napa Valley concentrates 59% of its red grape production into Cabernet Sauvignon, which sells in excess of $6,000 a ton. This price is a striking contrast to the Central Valley where the identical grape sells for approximately $500 per ton. Most of the premium wine regions experienced value increases on their grapes during 2015. However, production was down nearly 30% due to the California drought conditions. Paradoxically, the Central Valley region nearly equaled their 2014 yields. Overall, California's production declined 9% from the previous year. The wine grapes that experienced the greatest decrease from 2014 included Muscat Blanc, Triplett Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Grenache, Chenin Blanc and Syrah. The largest registered increases were Symphony, Barbera, Rubired, Pinot Gris, Muscat of Alexandria, Burger and Petite Sirah. Many of these wines are used predominantly as blending grapes. 'So You Think You Know California Wine?' is an invaluable and unique reference tool for understanding California's wine evolution. The easily understandable language is ideal for serious novice buyers and knowledgeable collectors. Additional chapters focus on an in-depth Napa Valley profile, comparative monthly rainfall levels in Napa and Sonoma Counties since 2013, questionable wine industry labeling practices and a comparative regional measuring of wine juice values. Production statistics become significant since growing decisions are oriented around evolving consumer tastes. Immediate cultivation adjustments are impossible. Grapevines require three years after planting before yielding fruit and have an average lifespan of 27 years. Many vines are replaced after this period due to declining production yields and financial depreciation considerations. If the production of a specific grape begins a steady decline, it is likely to continue so for an extended period. They are incrementally replaced by more lucrative or drought resistant grape varieties. Author Marques Vickers is a wine broker who owns and operates WineScalper.com based on the Pacific Coast. The book is available in paperback and Kindle format through Amazon.com and Adobe pdf format through WineScalper.com. A companion video is viewable on YouTube and Vimeo.

Jason Tanamor Pens New Children's Book Inspired by Work with Army
by BWW News Desk - June 15, 2016
Author and U.S. Army civilian, Jason Tanamor, has a new children's book, 'I Heart Superhero Kid,' that is defined as an epic story between good and bad, told in rhyming verse involving a hero, his arch enemy, talking cats, and a girl with a crush. Tanamor's association with heroes extends from his day job as a Contract Specialist at the Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois. It is there, full-time, where Tanamor serves the Department of the Army's soldiers by providing them what is needed in order to do their jobs. 'Our soldiers are our everyday heroes,' Tanamor said. 'So, it was only fitting that I write about a hero - Superhero Kid - who protects the residents of his own city.' Illustrated by Tanamor's son, Ryan McFate, fans of fantasy and the superhero genre will love this rhythmic verse novel. 'I have never enlisted in the armed forces so those in uniform deserve so much respect from people like me,' Tanamor said. 'With all the craziness of the Presidential election going on, I wanted to write something fun that reinforced the theme of heroes protecting the citizenry.' Thus, a children's book geared toward 6-year-olds to teenagers was born. 'Now, if only we could get Superhero Kid on the ballot,' Tanamor quipped. 'I Heart Superhero Kid' is a drastic change from the books the author is generally known for. His previous novel, 'Anonymous,' received a starred review from Publishers Weekly while 'Drama Dolls' is currently piling on its own positive reviews. 'Although this is a children's book, it is a story that everyone can relate to,' Tanamor said. The storyline revolves around Lizzy, a girl obsessed with discovering who Superhero Kid really is. While Lizzy is plotting her future, Superhero Kid's arch enemy, the Evil Man, is plotting his own future - to take over the city. However, one person is standing in the Evil Man's way - Superhero Kid. The result is an epic battle of the ages, between good and bad. 'Everybody loves a hero, someone he or she can relate and look up to,' Tanamor said. 'This book is a constant reminder that even though we are consumed with our own lives - such as Lizzy and her crush on Superhero Kid - there will always be someone looking over us.' 'I Heart Superhero Kid' is available at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Heart-Superhero-Kid-superhero-story-ebook/dp/B01D7TOPTM) in paperback for $15.00 and digitally for $3.99. Jason Tanamor is a Contract Specialist stationed at Rock Island Arsenal in Rock Island, Illinois. Visit Jason Tanamor on the web at http://www.tanamor.com.

SHOCK EXCHANGE is Released
by BWW News Desk - June 14, 2016
BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ America's student loan debt has been rising at three times the rate of inflation and is now over $1.2 trillion. Politicians have known about this problem for over a decade but have been loath to do anything about it. Millennials have practically become indentured servants to student loans. However, the rising cost of college has nothing to do with a better education or rising professors' salaries. Instead, it has been driven by a luxury arms race colleges have engaged in, and 'bling' they have thrown at kids in order to attract the best students.
