A cement form assembly includes cement and a cement form. The cement form can include a ground facing surface extending horizontally on a ground support surface and a cement facing surface extending vertically and contacting the cement. An extension member extends outward from the cement form and includes a surface that extends the ground facing surface or the cement facing surface. The cement form and the extension member are each made, at least partially, of a foam material.

Various cement-containing compositions are disclosed, including insulating cement, forms, and prefabricated building materials produced from cement-containing compositions with insulating properties. Some of the preferred embodiments include expanded polystyrene and an acrylic component to provide enhanced insulating properties, or have a lower density, lighter weight, and increased insulating R-value in comparison with other cement-containing compositions.

A multi-blade top awning includes an awning frame. A blade top plate, a linkage strip for driving the blade top plate to be opened/closed and a driving mechanism are cooperatively mounted on the awning frame. The driving mechanism includes a connection rod, a rocker arm, a worm and gear assembly and a power source. The connection rod is used for driving the linkage strip to move, the rocker arm is used for driving the connection rod to move, the worm and gear assembly is used for driving the rocker arm to rotate, and the power source is used for providing power for the worm and gear assembly. The rocker arm can rotate by 360 degrees around the worm and gear assembly, such that the blade top plate is opened/closed, a manual rocker does not need to be rotated in a reverse direction when the blade top plate is closed.

A cement form includes a single piece, unitary body member having a solid, continuous construction and a wedge-shaped cross-section. The body member includes a first surface arranged vertically and configured to support a volume of cement, a second surface arranged horizontally and configured to contact a ground support surface, a foam material, an elongate construction with a greater length dimension in a horizontal direction than a height dimension in a vertical direction, and a notch formed at an intersection of the first and second surfaces, the notch being receptive of a portion of a foam sheet or other foam extension member.
