Family Housing Advisory Services - FAQs
Section 8 (also known as Housing Choice Vouchers) is a HUD program, which provides rental payment assistance to qualifying tenants. Section 8 pays rent, which exceeds 30-40% of a tenant's adjusted monthly income. For example, if your landlord charges $500 per month for rent and you make $1,000 per month, you would pay $300 (30% of your monthly income) and Section 8 would pay $200 (the difference between what you can afford and what your landlord charges).

How can I set the prompt in the files section ?

news.answers/waffle-faq
Use the 'fileprom' static file parameter. Try 'fileprom : [$f] :' as an example. (it was undocumented before v1.65) If you use DSZ, it directly accesses the UART, and uses the FIFOs. By default, it turns them OFF when it finishes. Since Waffle doesn't reset the Fossil driver, it tries stuffing characters into a buffer that's turned off. Check your /waffle/system/dirs file. This error occurs if the user does not have access to the root file directory ('files:' in the static file).

Will I gain weight if I eat after 8 PM?

Nutritious Table - Frequently Asked Questions
You will only gain weight if your caloric intake exceeds the calories you burn through activity. You metabolize food the same way all day, no matter what time you eat. So a food eaten after 8 PM will not make you gain more weight than if you ate the same food at 8 AM. This guideline for weight loss makes sense only as a behavioral tool to eliminate mindless eating and excessive caloric intake when we are not truly hungry.
