•    Leading global network operators back initiative, including Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat,Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia, Telefónica and Telenor


Mozilla, the free software community, is best known for its web browser Firefox. It was hinted last year that the company was developing mobile OS devices and they have finally revealed two phones: The Keon and the Peak.
Developers will be the first to get their hands on the new Mozilla handsets in February. The phones are not expected to go on sale for consumers until later this year. The preview devices are being sent to developers so they can build apps for the open-source mobile platform. 
Mozilla partnered with Spain-based manufacturers Geeksphone and Telefonica to develop the handsets. The Keon, the orange phone pictured above, is the low-end handset, features a 1GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S1, and has a 3.5-inch HVGA (480×320 resolution) display. The rear-facing camera is 5MP, and stores 4GB of data. Compared to the Keon, the mid-range Peak uses a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon S4 processor and has a 4.3-inch qHD (960×540 resolution) display. The rear-facing camera on this model is 8MP and a 2MP front-facing camera offers video chat. 
Pricing has not been revealed yet for the Firefox OS phones.

Building REST API in Python using FastAPI In this article I will discuss some basics about RESTful webservice and developing a web service in Python using Fast API framework. First let’s see what a RESTful service is. REST stands for Representational state transfer. It is a standard for developing interactive applications that use web services. We have multiple architectural guiding constraints in developing RESTful services. For detailed information on RESTful services, I recommend to below resources: ·         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer ·         https://flask-restful.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (Flask is another Python framework for building web services) What is FastAPI? FastAPI is a modern high-performance web framework that with Python3.6+ based on standard Python.

Owlet, a startup based out of Utah has introduced the smart sock for new born babies. This smart sock uses a hospital technology Pulse oximetry, which is test to measure the oxygen level of blood.The smart sock owlet will alert if baby stops breathing. Owlet is wireless and gentle. This sends signals to independent base station. The independent base station has both green and red light indicator. The green light keeps glowing for normal heart rate, when heart rate or oxygen appear to be out of normal range the independent base stations glows up red light. And now to monitor the numerical values you need an apple device. The owlet application works on any device running iOS 8 or higher. Using the application you can monitor heart rate and oxygen level. When either heart rate or oxygen level is out of normal range then owlet alarms from base station and phone.
