一 | ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis is launching a program that seeks to help low-income families by providing them with $500 monthly payments for 18 months.The program is a signature priority for Mayor Tishaura Jones, who said Tuesday that the money will go to hundreds of city households, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. She believes it will help rebuild neighborhoods and prevent the root causes of crime.“St. Louis’ guaranteed basic income will give hundreds of St. Louis families the resources they need to lift themselves out of poverty, giving them a strong foundation to grow and to thrive,” Jones said at a news conference.The Board of Aldermen approved the program last year. The city will use $5 million in federal pandemic aid. Meanwhile, St. Louis native Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter and Square, is contributing $1 million.Jones announced a website for those interested. Applications will be open between Oct. 23 and Nov. 1, and the city will start sending the money, on debit cards, in December.The concept isn't new. During the pandemic, the federal government temporarily expanded the child tax credit to send families up to $300 per month for each child. Researchers said it cut child poverty in half. Other cities already experimenting with guaranteed basic income include Baltimore; Chicago; Denver; Birmingham, Alabama; and Columbia, South Carolina.In 2021 and 2022, a round of one-time $500 checks went to more than 9,000 St. Louis households, aimed at helping to help pay for groceries, utilities and other essentials.The new effort is expected to send money to roughly 540 St. Louis households with parents or guardians of children attending city public schools, including charter schools. Eligibility is limited to those making 170% of the federal poverty line or less — about $42,000 for a family of three.。
二 | 日前，苹果最新两款平板电脑iPad Pro 2022和iPad 10正式发布，起售价分别为6799元和3599元。
三 | 除了升级处理器和屏幕，iPad 10还放弃了使用多年的闪电接口，转向USB-C接口，这也是苹果最后一款升级接口的平板，目前，全系iPad均已告别闪电接口。两款新平板都配备了USB-C编织充电线（1米），这条充电线现已在苹果官网上架开售，售价145元。
四 | 据苹果介绍，这款1米充电线采用编织设计，两端均为USB-C接头，可用于充电，也适用于在USB-C设备间进行同步或数据传输。
五 | 将USB-C编织充电线与兼容的USB-C电源适配器搭配使用，即可利用其快速充电的优势为设备充电。USB-C电源适配器需单独购买。在数据传输速度上， USB-C接口支持最新最快的USB 4标准，传输速度可以达到40Gbps。相比之下，闪电接口传输速度只是USB 2.0标准，通常在480Mbps左右。值得一提的是，今年上半年，欧盟提出要统一手机上的USB-C接口，更有利于环保，多种设备可以共用一根线缆。最近，欧洲议会也批准了这一法案，要求从2024年底开始，所有手机、平板电脑等便携智能设备新机都使用USB Type-C的充电接口。
