GUIYANG - Southwest China's Guizhou province now uses smart wristbands with GPS to track and protect left-behind rural children. Bijie city and Qianxinan Buyi and Miao autonomous prefecture in Guizhou have spent around 24 million yuan ($3.6 million) to provide smart wristbands for more than 100,000 left-behind children in primary schools, according to Liu Zhongping, deputy head with the provincial department of civil affairs. The wristband installed with a GPS locator and linked with local police databases allows children to report in emergencies, then policeman can track their location and check on them. Zeng Ke, deputy county chief of Qianxi in Bijie, said more than 8,000 left-behind children in primary schools in the county had obtained the wristbands. Nationwide, China has more than 60 million children in rural areas who are left with relatives, usually grandparents, as their parents are away from home often working better-paid jobs in the cities. These children are easy victims of tragedy such as murder, trafficking and suicide. tyvek event wristbandscool wristbandsuv bracelet24 hour wristbands coupon codetrio spinnerscustom livestrong braceletsrubber bracelets custom cheapwristbands online
The Agricultural Bank of China is piloting facial recognition scanners on two of its ATM machines in Guiyang, southwest China's Guizhou province. Sometimes referred to as "Smile to Pay" technology, this ATM lets you smile to get paid. Shandong Business Daily reports users can withdraw money from the ATM machines by looking into a camera to have their facial features scanned. The scanners feature infrared cameras that can tell a real human face apart from pictures and masks. In addition to scanning their faces, users will have to type in their cell phone and ID numbers to get the money. They can withdraw a maximum of 3,000 yuan per day through facial recognition ATMs. The bank is aiming to have facial scanners installed on all of its ATM machines across Guizhou by the end of this year. The Agricultural Bank already has these scanners at 37 of its bank counters across China. The scanners are also featured at the Merchants Bank's ATM machines in 106 cities across China. Face scanning is widely applied in China. In addition to withdrawing money, it can help make payments at fast-food restaurants, checking in at various hotels and other parts of traveling both easier and faster.
