Sevenhugs HugOne

Do you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep

patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the

sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for

sleep patterns of children and adults.

HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of

smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and

other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.

● The benefits of HugOne include:

* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds

to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.

* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living

space.

* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred

nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.

* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed,

it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.

● The following are selected from customers’ comments:

I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the

sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.

—Robert Compton

● HugOne available for purchase includes:

I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base

in my house. All my family members think highly of it.

—Chris Hanawalt HugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information,

Why doesHaitiso tend to have fatal earthquakes? Earthquakes have been causing huge damage inHaitisince

at least the 18th century. The capital city has been destroyed twice in 19 years. The 21st century has beenno more

kind.

The Earth’s outer shell is made tip of tectonic plates (构造板块) that move.Haitisits near the crossing of two

tectonic plaits that make up the Earth’s outer shell. Earthquakes can occur when those plates move against each

other and create friction (摩擦力).

Haitiis also overpopulated. Plus, many of its buildings are designed to resist hurricanes but not earthquakes.

Those buildings can survive strong winds bat are easy to fail down when the ground shrikes. Poor building

practices can also play arole.

“I think it’s important to recognize that there’s no such thing as a natural disaster,” said Wendy Bohon, a

geologist. “What you have is a natural disaster that comes with a weak architecture system. We do know that

earthquakes like this can cause huge damage because ofthefault,” said Wendy. “And it’s quite a significant risk in places that don’t have the construction practices to resist the shaking.”

Construction of more earthquake-resistant buildings remains a challenge inHaiti, which is the poorest nation

in theWestern Hemisphere. “While there have been some success stories of Haitians building more

earthquake-resistant structures, the country has lacked a centralized effort to do so,” said Mark Schuller, a

professor of anthropology and nonprofit and NGO studies atNorthernIllinoisUniversity.Haiti’s government has

become increasingly weak, while non-governmental organizations only focus on their own projects.

“There is technical knowledge inHaiti, There are trained architects. There are cityplanners. That’s not the

problem,” Schuller said. “The problem is a lack of funding for coordination (协调), and lack of political will from
