Abstract: A coated fiber cement article in the form of an unattached fiber cement board substrate having a first major surface at least a portion of which is covered with a crush resistant final topcoat composition comprising a multistage latex polymer, and a method for making a crush resistant coated fiber cement article by coating a fiber cement board substrate with such a composition and stacking the coated boards.

Abstract: A method is directed to visually displaying aggregate social media sentiment data potentially impacting the value of an organization. The organization, which purchases or sells a good, is selected and multiple search terms related to the organization are sent to a sentiment analysis system. Multiple scores are received from the sentiment analysis system. Each score is associated with corresponding ones of the search terms and is indicative of a sentiment level on a first set of one or more social networking services about the corresponding search term. An aggregate sentiment value is calculated based on the scores. The aggregate sentiment value is indicative of an aggregate sentiment about the corresponding search term on the first set of one or more social networking services. A first visual representation is displayed to indicate a relationship between a monitored characteristic of the selected organization and the aggregate sentiment.

Abstract: A wellness method, system and kit for preventing and delaying chronic diseases. In an embodiment, the wellness kit comprises stepped portions reduction and control plates, a water bottle, an elastic stretching band, a pedometer, a food and exercise log, wellness cards, a tape measure, and multimedia health information and instruction. The sequentially administered portion reduction and control plates are designed to control and reduce portion size consumption to a targeted portion size by using stepped portion reductions to normalize the reduced size. The water bottle provides visual indication of the number of bottles consumed while the stretching band increases flexibility and circulation by providing a variable resistance to a wide range of motion. To encourage physical activity and good nutrition a pedometer and a food and exercise log is used to record the use of the other tools in the method and kit.
