BGS Announces a Strategic Partnership with Brook Restoration Ltd.

Bio Graphene Solutions

August 15 th, 2023 – TheNewswire - Toronto, Ontario - Bio Graphene Solutions (“BGS” or the “Company”), announced today that it has formed a strategic partnership with Brook Restoration Ltd. (“Brook”), one of the largest structural restoration companies in Canada. The strategic partnership will enable Brook to leverage BGS’s graphene-enhanced liquid admixture for concrete products in building and public infrastructure projects in Ontario. Brook has also made a strategic investment in BGS’s current financing - further solidifying Brook’s commitment to innovation and sustainability within the construction space. In January 2023, BGS announced the development of a graphene-enhanced admixture for commercial concrete mix designs. Developed primarily to tackle the removal of cement (the binding material in a concrete mix that also contributes to more than 8% of the global CO 2 emissions), the Company’s graphene-enhanced admixture can remove at least 15% of the cement content in concrete without sacrificing the compression strength performance of the overall concrete product. BGS believes its product is the only admixture solution in the market that can facilitate the removal of cement and still provide significant cost and CO 2 savings to its potential customers in non-specialized commercial concrete mix designs (35MPa to 50MPa mixtures). Geoff Grist, Chairman and Founder of Brook, commented “We are proud to support BGS who’s innovative and creative solutions are at the heart of how we drive value in the restoration space. Reducing embodied carbon in concrete structures needs to be addressed more aggressively. Utilizing BGS’s graphene to remove cement content will have this direct impact and provide meaningful sustainability change. We look forward to the success of this strategic partnership and working with our concrete vendors in supporting commercial adoption of BGS’s graphene products overtime.” Liam Farrell, Chief Operating Officer of BGS, commented “It’s great to see Brook, a thought-leader within the restoration space, champion our graphene admixtures. Due to our extensive testing dataset and our ability to leverage in-house concrete expertise, we continue to attract large organizations within different parts of the concrete supply chain that are interested in learning more about the performance, cost, and environmental benefits of our graphene-enabled solutions. We are excited to engage in this strategic partnership with Brook and how our graphene admixtures can drive value in their commercial projects moving forward.” Brook Restoration recently published an article entitled “Driving Meaningful Sustainability Change in Concrete Products” that helps provide an understanding to the environmental issues associated with concrete and how nanotechnology can be used as a near-term solution. The article can be found on the company’s LinkedIn page (https://www.linkedin.com/company/brook-restoration-ltd/posts/?feedView=all) For more information regarding this press release, please contact: David Fisher CEO, Co-Founder davidf@biographenesolutions.com OR Liam Farrell COO liamf@biographenesolutions.com FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT This press release contains forward-looking statements. Any statements contained herein that are not historical facts may be deemed to be forward looking statements.

Sideline Confidential

Greenleaf Book Group

There is no doubt that the world of pro sports has made progress toward gender equality, but there is still more work to be done to create a level playing field. Former sports anchor and award-winning reporter Brooke Bentley knows this from experience. Her new novel, Sideline Confidential (Greenleaf Book Group Press, Aug 15, 2023), follows a young woman struggling to navigate this male-dominated industry and establish her career as a sports reporter. Set against the backdrop of pro football and sports media, Bentley weaves an important and timely story of gender equality into a fast-paced, can’t-put-it-down novel.   “ Sideline Confidential provides a fascinating, insightful look at what it’s like to be behind the scenes covering a pro football team,” says John McClain, former Houston Chronicle sportswriter and winner of the Dick McCann Memorial Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “Brooke Bentley, a seasoned journalist who experienced the excitement and exasperation of covering a team, draws vivid portraits of the characters who make up a pro franchise. Bentley takes readers on a wild, behind-the-scenes ride that’s both frustrating and inspiring. I can’t wait for her next book featuring Blake Kirk.”   " Sideline Confidential is more than a page-turner. It’s a jaw-dropper,” says John Lopez of SportsRadio 610 in Houston. “Brooke Bentley perfectly captures not just what really goes on behind the scenes in pro sports, but what makes it doubly challenging for women."   “ Sideline Confidential authentically portrays the discrimination, bias, and obstacles faced by female reporters,” says Allison Williams, national sports broadcaster. “This novel is a must-read for anyone who loves football and enjoys a riveting tale with all the excitement of a game day!”   The novel follows Blake Kirk, who graduates from journalism school and lands her dream job as a reporter for her hometown pro football team—the job sure to propel her to the sidelines on network television. But from the first day, double standards and old-school entitlement smack her with the intensity of a defensive line.   Sideline Confidential entertains while giving readers a glimpse into the complex intersection of sports, social equity, and gender politics.   Pick up your copy of Sideline Confidential and stay updated on Brooke Bentley’s writing and nonprofit work by visiting brookebentley.com.   About the Author Brooke Bentley is a former television anchor and award-winning sports reporter.

Escape the Matrix of Student Loan Debt

Greenleaf Book Group

Student debt is a pressing issue. Currently, 43 million Americans owe more than $1.7 trillion in student loan debt. In Graduate Debt Free: Escaping the Student Loan Matrix (Greenleaf Book Group Press), military veteran, seasoned attorney, and accomplished entrepreneur David F. Shutler analyzes the student loan crisis, examines the failures of the institutions involved, and provides tools for high school students and their parents to avoid the debilitating impact of college debt.   “Shutler has made a genuine contribution to both the college selection process and the college financing discussion that both high schoolers and their parents can relate to,” said Veronica Guzman Pulido, Director of College Counseling at St. Mark’s School of Texas. “This book is an absolute must-read for high school students who aspire to become college educated while minimizing debt.”   Urgent, engaging, and meticulously researched, Graduate Debt Free opens prospective college students’ and parents’ eyes to the dangers facing them should they choose to fund their college careers with student loans. Refreshingly apolitical, Shutler combines the warmth and empathy of a concerned parent with an expert’s authority in this systematic guide to 12 faulty assumptions that students hold about the college experience. Shutler analyzes each assumption, which range from "I Gotta Go to College" to "Tuition is the Total Cost," showing how they contribute to debt and providing strategies to escape that debt. Graduate Debt Free allows students to take charge of their education and escape the matrix of ever-increasing college costs.   “This book grew out of a concern that college-bound students and their parents lacked the information and tools to conduct a practical risk analysis of college debt,” said Shutler. “As a lawyer and a parent, I am deeply concerned that the college financial arena is not offering a level playing field to students. Researching this book revealed a treasure trove of information. Graduate Debt Free opens that treasure trove to the next generation of high schoolers and parents.”   Pick up your copy of Graduate Debt Free and learn more about David Shutler’s online workshops for students and parents by visiting graduate-debt-free.com. Graduate Debt Free is available in hardcover, eBook, and audio formats, with a Spanish translation due out in the fall.   # # #   More about Greenleaf Book Group Greenleaf Book Group is an independent publisher and distributor located in Austin, Texas, dedicated to empowering authors.
