WAEC GCE Mathematics 2022 theory Questions and Answers
In the diagram, L.PTQ = L.PSR = 900, /PQ/ = 10 ern, /PS/ = 14.4 cm and /TQ/ = 6 cm.
Calculate the area of quadrilateral QRST.
(b) Two opposite sides of a square are each decreased by 10% while the other two are each increased by 15% to form a rectangle. Find the ratio of the area of the rectangle to that of the square.
Math gce Observation.
We advise that student's should always remember to apply the concept of similar triangles correctly.
Furthermore student should try and recognize the quadrilateral as a trapezium, this will help in finding its area.
Part (b) Candidates were expected to show that:
/PT/ = …./102 – 62 = 8 cm. m: =!J2L i.e ~ = 14.4.Hence, /SR/ = 10.8 cm.
/TO/ /SR/ 6 /SR/
Area of quadrilateral QRST = Yz (6 + 10.8) x 6.4 = 53.76 cm2. Don't subtract the area of triangle PQT from triangle PRS.
This was also in order. In part (b) if the side of the square was y, then new breadth = 90 x y = 0.9y.
New length = 115 x Y = 1.15y. New area = 1.15y x 0.9y = 1.035/.
Hence, ratio = 1.035y² : y² = 1.035 : 1 or 207:200 .

The "NO AC" display is a diagnostic message telling you that the controller has stopped receiving AC power. The controller is running on the power supplied by the backup battery.
Check the power source by plugging a lamp or radio into the wall outlet to verify there is power at the outlet. If your controller is not plugged into a wall outlet, the power source is hardwired.
To verify that you have power to the outlet, disconnect the backup battery from the controller. If the display goes blank after removing the battery, the transformer could be damaged and may need to be replaced. If you a have a mutli meter you could also try testing for 24VAC on the two AC terminals inside the controllers wiring compartment.
Note: Controllers that are hardwired to the power source will need to be tested by a qualified electrician.

Playing golf is an interesting activity, but a golf course includes eighteen holes and each one stays at different places and far from another. In the case you intend to play the whole game, which also means you have to carry all clubs, balls, and other accessories with you, then you need a solution to help transport them conveniently and easily. For many golfers, using a good golf cart is an efficient way.
Not all bags are produced similarly; they are varied in weights, heights, sizes, and designs. Thus, it's necessary that you get the bag compatible for golf push carts during the game. Here are features to consider when shopping a golf cart.
The electric carts are motorized by motors to move around the course in a simple and fast process. If you want to travel quickly, this type will be a good choice since it is able to move to the spot speedily. Many users especially prefer it than other types in the hot days so that they can save energy for hitting the balls. However, if you intend to play a lot of rounds, the battery may not maintain over one round. Moreover, their cost ranges are higher than other types of golf carts.
When you don't need to bring many golf gears, you can use a pull golf cart. It's lightweight and limited by the amount of storage. With this product, you can pull it along with you on the course without spending much energy.
This is the most attractive selection of golf carts for many consumers. Generally, the design comes with three wheels to increase the stable levels during moving around the green. The trolley is larger than other carts so that you can store a lot of gears, but you also spend much energy on using it.
The compact golf cart is a mobile type that allows you simply and quickly store it in a convenient way. Many golfers appreciate its mobility since they need to move from one course to another.
You can choose a golf cart with three or four wheels so that you can pull it easily around the green. Most types of wheels smoothly run on the pavement or flat grounds, but the course also includes rough terrains and so it's better to choose the cart with larger wheels. That also saves your energy in pulling during a day and increases the pulling speed on the green.
A strong, stable handle offers the good grips so that you can keep skilled movements across the field. You also need a natural pad of handles to protect the skin and get the steering satisfaction.
You can notify this feature so that you have a chance to enjoy during staying on the field. Certainly, it makes your bag heavier, but you will feel comfortable and relax in a short period of the game, especially when you have to wait a long time till your turn.
A brake is a helpful factor for your safety when you leave to make a strike. This also increases the stable level for the golf cart if you're using the seat. Some carts have one parking brake but if you want the complete security, you will need three brakes for all wheels.
Obviously, you require a golf cart you understand its operation and easily control it. Ensure that you make use of the locks, bags, and know how to open all compartments at anytime you need. Besides that, a heavier cart is more difficult to use than the lighter one.
Finally, you can find various popular and useful features of the golf cart available today. For instance, wearing sunscreen offer the protection for you to stand on a sunny day. You also can buy a cart connecting easily with an umbrella so that you get a relief from the sunlight. Bottle holders help you to avoid the dehydration damage in the higher temperature. With the modern golf cart, you can add any feature you want to your selection, so you should think of their importance before purchasing one.

Interview: Cambodia's Sam Rainsy on Talks with Hun Sen: 'Everything Has to Have a Starting Point.'
Opposition leader Sam Rainsy discusses Cambodia's political situation with RFA, June 15, 2016.
Cambodia has been in the grips of a political crisis for months as Prime Minister Hun Sen's government has pursued an investigation into an alleged affair between Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) deputy leader Kem Sokha and a young hairdresser. The investigation has led to the arrest of four human rights workers and an election commission official who are accused of bribery or accessory to bribery charges for attempting to keep the woman quiet, and it has also seen heavily-armed police attempt to arrest Kem Sokha at the CNRP's headquarters.
While that is the most high-profile case, Hun Sen and the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) have also pursued other cases against opposition lawmakers. Opposition party Senator Um Sam An was charged with two criminal offenses over his accusations that the government conceded land to Vietnam along its border. The government is also holding more than two-dozen other opposition party officials on various charges, including Senator Hong Sok Hour and CNRP media director Meach Sovannara.
Cambodia National Rescue Party President Sam Rainsy went into self-imposed exile following his removal from parliament in November 2015 by the CPP because of a warrant issued for his arrest in an old defamation case. Most analysts say the campaign against the CNRP is designed to intimidate and weaken the party before elections due in 2017and 2018. In a live interview on June 15 in the RFA studio in Washington, DC. Sam Rainsy discussed the situation in Cambodia with RFA Khmer Service journalist Vuthy Huot.
RFA: The situation in these past few days seemed to hold some positive signs for the CNRP. The international community, including the U.N., European Union and the United States, seemed to back the CNRP. How much of this is the result of the diplomatic efforts by you and the CNRP?
Sam Rainsy: People are finally getting a clear understanding of the political situation in Cambodia. The world has learnt that the situation in Cambodia has reached a most dangerous stage due to the strategy of the dictatorship of Cambodia.
The government used intimidation, threats, violence and the court system, under the control of the CPP, to put pressure on CNRP members or on the members of the civil society who were just speaking the truth and who protected and provided justice to the victims, so it is not hard for the world to see it.
RFA: I can understand how international recognition is helpful and it puts pressure on Cambodia's rulers, but I'm not sure how much that moves Prime Minister Hun Sen. He recently said discussions about the detention of CNRP officials and civil society workers is off limits in any negotiations to end the crisis. What does this mean for "the culture of dialog?"
Sam Rainsy: I want to emphasize that I always value and hail the culture of dialogue. The culture of dialogue is not just between two individuals or two parties, but it is for all parties so the Khmer people of all political stripes can move into the future.
That said, the culture of dialogue in Cambodia is still very new and there are difficulties, but we have to have trust that the culture of dialogue will remain alive and replace the culture of violence. We have experienced only the culture of violence, the culture of destroying each other. We should give up this culture and grasp the culture of dialogue so that the Khmer people can experience peace, to ensure our country's stability and real democracy.
RFA: From the outside, Cambodia looks like it's in trouble?
Sam Rainsy: Since the coup d' etat in 1997, Cambodia's crisis is currently at a stage that could lead the country over the edge to disaster if we do not solve it peacefully. The CNRP is ready to start discussions with mutual respect. We did not put conditions regarding date, time, venue, or topic on the discussion. The topic we need to select is the one that is relevant and reflects the current tense situation. Now let's ask the people, what are their biggest concerns and sufferings? We have to put these issues on the table for discussion.
RFA: So, will you drop the insistence on conditions before there is negotiation?
Sam Rainsy: There are no longer any conditions. Everything has to have a starting point, but it has to lead to topics that reflect the people's concerns.
RFA: Hun Sen wants the CNRP to stop boycotting the national assembly. Do you plan on returning to the parliament any time soon?
Sam Rainsy: The CNRP is not quarreling, but is a victim of successive problems created by those who keep drumming up allegations and accusations against the CNRP. Before returning to the National Assembly, we want to see lawmakers' immunity fully respected and protected as it is laid out in the constitution.
Currently, the national assembly is not working properly because it is now going back to the situation before the Paris Peace Accords. When there was only one dominant party. It's even worse than that, because it is only one man who causes all the troubles on his own free will.
We are not going to join this game. We want to have a real multi-party government with democratic principles. We want the situation to go back to normal as it was about six months or a year ago before we return to our National Assembly duty.
RFA: Does that mean you want to have a negotiation process in place before the CNRP returns to parliament?
Sam Rainsy: Per our experience, unless there is a package solution we must not accept partial or temporary solutions. They release some people and later on, they arrest this or that person…We need an official declaration of a principle that stops using the court system to put pressure on people and creates an intimidating environment that would affect the upcoming election process.
RFA: Did the culture of dialog lead you to write a letter regarding the published allegations on Hun Sen -- Facebook posts saying one of his sons is the child of his wife and a former Vietnamese leader? Have you received any response from the CPP or from the prime minister regarding your letter?
Sam Rainsy: I regret and I denounced the allegations and accusations against Mr. Kem Sokha who is deputy head and currently acting head of CNRP. Because those allegations and accusations are a personal issue that is of no use. It's a petty thing that is just diverting people's attention from the vital issues of the nation.
Since I feel that way about him, I also feel regret and denounce those who create the same problem for others. That is why I wrote that letter expressing regret regarding the accusation against Prime Minister Hun Sen.
RFA: Have you gotten a response?
Sam Rainsy: I did not write the letter because I expected a response. I wrote it to affirm the morality of the CNRP, its leaders and its members, who have maintained a noble dignity. We did not make any allegations and accusations on a personal issue that would lead to humiliation and defamation against others, stain their dignity or cause them pain.
RFA: But have you received any response?
Sam Rainsy: I am now in Washington D.C., and I have not received any information on the response from Mr. Hun Sen, yet.
RFA: Since the scandal issue broke, the CNRP has declared that it will stay silent, not quarrel or respond. That all its efforts and focus is on preparing for the upcoming commune elections. But this is the state of play: The CNRP leader is still in exile; the acting head is in self-detention within the party's headquarters; and it looks like all CNRP members, lawmakers, and supporters in the country have gathered around the headquarters in Phnom Penh.
It looks like the focus on the election has been postponed. How you are going to deal with the situation?
Sam Rainsy: The situation is not at a standstill, but actually moving forward with positive prospects for the CNRP. We can see, at the grassroots level in 25 provinces and cities across the country, including the capital city of Phnom Penh, that the threats and intimidation are not scaring anyone off. Instead people are stronger and more supportive of the CNRP.
They continue encouraging CNRP leaders by coming to the party headquarters with tens of thousands of petitions and staying for days regardless of all the difficulties. People inside and outside the country have provided financial support to buy food and water, while others cook meals for those who stay at the party headquarters. It is a good sign for the CNRP as well as for its plan for the upcoming elections in 2017. And those who have caused the problems in the hope to weakening the CNRP, we have proved them wrong. We have become stronger than ever.
RFA: When will you return to Cambodia?
Sam Rainsy: I will go back before the election date. Even if for just a short period of time prior the election. Even a short stay would be sufficient. In 2013, they created so many troubles for me. I returned to Cambodia less than 2-3 weeks before the last election date and it was enough time. There were people showing their strong support before my return. This time, the people's will and support are even stronger than before, and we will stick to our vital goal that is to have peaceful change on the path of democracy in the country.

Industry developments in the UAE have varied over the past year, ranging from new rules for social media 'influencers' to an increase in radio reach and the launch of OTT services.
In October 2018, Netflix partnered with mobile operator Du and Virgin in its first deal in the UAE, allowing the streaming service to extend its reach throughout the region.
Du's parent company, The Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), announced the deal that is expected to bring
the world's best global entertainment to
local viewers.
Anthony Shiner, Chief Digital Lifestyle and Innovation Officer at EITC, commented: "Our partnerships are key catalysts in making EITC a world-class organisation and facilitating growth plans in the UAE."
He added: "Our collaboration with Netflix is another milestone in our digital vision and innovation roadmap."
In other developments, the UAE is proving to be an exceptionally strong market for radio as the rate of listeners increasing.
According to research by Nielsen, a global measurement and data analytics company, 95 per cent of the population tuned into the radio every week in the first quarter of 2018. Its research
highlights radio as 'one of the most favoured
media across different age groups in the country.'
The National Media Council announced a new
law regulating electronic media. The regulation
will govern all online activity, including
e-commerce, the publication and sale of print,
video and audio material.
The new rules will mean that social media influencers, who profit financially from their online activity, will need a media license.
Mansour Al Mansouri, Director General of the National Media Council, spoke about the regulatory change at a conference in Abu Dhabi in March
2018. He commented that the new law allows for balanced and responsible media content.
Mr Al Mansouri said: "The regulations seek to
help the UAE media sector remain on top of the rapid developments in electronic media, in addition to enriching and organising digital content, and ensuring that media material respects the religious, cultural and social values of the UAE, all the
while promoting freedom of expression and constructive dialogue."


There can't possibly be any way that metalcore can get any heavier than this. This band has come a long way. They are one of Metallica's favorite bands, and they've played at the Wacken Open Air festival, where only legends and bands considered landmarks in metal play. The album was recorded in the band's own studio. Mnemic describes the album to be more theatrical and catchy. This is by far my favorite Mnemic album. Everything from the album cover to the overall sound of the album is awesome. Like I said before, this is the heaviest metalcore band of all time and I love it.
Every song on this album is very different from each other. There are songs that are more electronic and theatrical, with more of a melodic sound, and there are songs that are very fast and heavy. It's very hard to pick my favorites, but there are a handful of songs that stand out to me. The title song is the best first impression for anyone. It has their theatrical, melodic sound mixed with their brutally fast sound; the best first impression for anyone. Mnightmare is probably the heaviest song off the album. The song's very fast drumming and tempos are really driving and leave my heart racing after every time I listen to the song. Dreamjunkie has more of a theatrical sound with a very catchy beat and vocals. The Erasing has a catchy sound to it with some brutal drumming to mix it up a bit. This is by far my favorite Mnemic album and would recommend it to all metalheads. I'm giving Sons of the System 19/20.

Every month we will present a selection of unique accommodations from around the region inspected and reviewed by our team members, who know a thing or two about what makes a great product.
Located in the heart of Ho Chi Minh, this 5-star property offers luxury and stylish accommodation ideal for high-end travelers staying in the city for business or leisure. When Khiri Travel inspected the hotel, we were welcomed by the very friendly staff and a lovely pianist who was playing classic hits – creating a very welcoming ambience for guests while checking-in.
The hotel rooms all feature a similar chic, Indochina-inspired style with fantastic views of the city, while the property itself is conveniently located nearby to a number of city parks, providing guests with beautiful green vistas and a sense of space.
One of the great things about this hotel is that it connects via a glass bridge to one of our favorite rooftop venues in the city, the Shri Restaurant & Lounge. It's a great option for guests who want to enjoy the luxury of dining out at one of the city's most popular restaurants without having to leave the hotel.
For more information please contact [email protected] or visit official website.
This attractive 5-star accommodation is situated in a beautiful beachfront location right in the heart of Seminyak on Bali's west coast. Rooms face the gentle, rolling surf and a wide stretch of white sandy beach. The contemporary architecture of the hotel's spacious lobby is decorated with wall plants and other natural vegetation and the buildings and public spaces are designed with recycled wood and green areas, giving the hotel's minimalist design a beautiful, rustic character.
The Alila Seminyak has also adopted some eco-friendly policies such as harnessing the waste heat from its air conditioning units to heat water, and turning its food waste into compost for the hotel's organic garden.
Guests can enjoy an array of activities in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, such as surfing, horseback riding, swimming and even meditation at the small Balinese temple in the hotel gardens.
This 5-star hotel in the Laotian capital Vientiane evokes classic colonial style luxury with charming décor and high-class customer service. Situated in the heart of Vientiane's old town, its 29 spacious guest rooms and suites are elegantly appointed with marble tiled bathrooms.
Settha Palace is located within easy walking distance of the Mekong River and main tourist areas of Vientiane and yet the hotel is also a destination in itself. There is the Belle Époque restaurant featuring French-Asian fusion cuisine and a banquet room seating up to 130 persons for business meetings, weddings and other special events. An impressive garden and green areas, along with an elegant pool and spa, ensure guests will enjoy their leisure time while relaxing in the grounds of the hotel.

The hotel's contemporary décor and architecture complements the property's natural surroundings and its spacious modern-style rooms. Suitable for both business and leisure travellers, accommodations come with Bluetooth connectivity, complimentary Wi-Fi, a genuine coffee machine and homegrown teas.
Inspected by Khiri Travel Cambodia's sales supervisor, it was noted that the hotel had exceptional service and staff with a sustainable and responsible focus on environmental issues. One of its key projects to date is the 'Refill Not Landfill' campaign aimed at revolutionizing the way water is consumed by encouraging tourists to use specially produced reusable aluminum water bottles, thus reducing the country's waste from the thousands of plastic water bottles discarded by tourists every year.
Set in the heart of Bangkok's upscale shopping neighborhood close to Emporium shopping mall and the fashionable Thonglor district, 137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok is the second property of the 137 Pillars Hotels & Resorts brand to open, following the success of the company's flagship property in northern Thailand, the elegant 30-suite 137 Pillars House Chiang Mai.

Elegant en-suite bathrooms are fitted with the chic circular 137 Pillar baths, while spacious green balconies offer high-end relaxation with the hotel's signature rocking chairs, an expansive daybed for two and, of course, superb views of the Bangkok skyline.
Set in a beautiful location on the shores of Koggala Lake, not far from the picturesque town of Galle in southern Sri Lanka, the Tri Lanka is a contemporary luxury retreat with 11 suites built on a six-acre peninsula overlooking the lake and surrounding countryside.
Designed by an award-winning architect, Tri Lanka incorporates living walls, green roofs, edible gardens and uses locally sourced materials with 100% recycled wood in all its structures. The hotel's water tower which also incorporates the Water Tower Rooms, offers spectacular 360° views of the area, while the suites situated symmetrically below it on the peninsula's gentle slopes, offer a stunning panorama of the lake and green forests beyond.
Cuisine is an important part of Tri Lanka's sustainability with organic and seasonal dishes guiding the culinary concept – a fusion of Sri Lankan and contemporary western fare that is a highlight for many hotel guests and for those visiting for lunch or dinner.
This cozy boutique hotel is a great option for clients looking for small-scale accommodation with personalized service and facilities that include a pool, a small gym, and a business centre. The bonus is the extravagant Prana Spa designed to reflect the rural surroundings of Mandalay with running water features, rattan fixtures and terracotta tiles, giving it a rustic and earthy feel. Guests can choose from a variety of Ayurvedic, holistic and natural body treatments or indulge in the à la carte menu of aroma and vitality massages.
Each of the four room categories is named after Myanmar's major ethnic groups and decorated in a style that reflects the cultural heritage of each ethnicity. All Chin and Shan rooms feature balconies overlooking the pool and garden, while Chin rooms on the ground floor enjoy a 'water moat'. Rakhine rooms offer spacious comfort and the Kachin rooms boast an outdoor shower with a slate wall of cascading water, ideal for romancing honeymooners.
The hotel also has an excellent restaurant called the Spice Garden which serves a delicious choice of local dishes and northern and southern Indian cuisine prepared by Indian chefs. It is the only Indian-Myanmar fine dining option in Mandalay and has a policy of preparing food the same day, thus ensuring the menu offers only the freshest fare.

The Bauerfeind Sports Academy engineers and elite athletes combined to help advance Bauerfeind's innovative designs specifically for the athlete. Enhanced performance, improved circulation, stimulating regeneration, better self-confidence and reducing injuries were the driving concepts. In addition, comfort, breathability, and durability all came together to create the perfect Sports Elbow Support.
Anatomically contoured pads surround the elbow joint to redistribute pressure and protect against overloading the tendons and ligaments.
The Air Knit is lightweight, comfortable, moisture-wicking and washable. It allows maximum freedom of movement and the integrated adhesive zones guarantee a secure fit.
The Air Knit provides medical standard compression to boost circulation and reduce damaging muscle vibrations.
Felt some discomfort at first as brace pressed against my elbow but it let me play tennis without any pain. I recommend it for people suffering from tennis elbow.
I have epichondritis in my elbow and this brace is a lifesaver. It provides stability to minimize pain and it is very comfortable to wear. Plus it's a pretty color instead of the typical ugly beige of medical wraps.
Fits great and really helps with my nagging elbow. I'm a Jiu-Jitsu instructor and use this 90% of the time when I teach and train.


The horizontal navigation of a site allows a user browsing through the top level pages of that site. Site administrators can use drag and drop to reorder those pages from the horizontal navigation itself, without having to go to the administration UIs.
But when some of those top level pages are inherited from the site template which does not allow modifications or a user group, the order is predetermined and the site administrator should not be able to change it. Site administrators should only be able to drag and drop those pages that are custom to the site.
Before this fix, either non of the pages were draggable or all of them were depending on the conditions (and other bugs) because there was no way to tell the inherited pages apart from the custom ones. After this change a mechanism has bee added to differentiate them and implement what is described in the paragraph above.

Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) withdrew Rs5,936cr from the Indian stocks in the first week of May in the wake of worries over the massive second wave of COVID-19 and its repercussions on the economy. Overseas investors pulled out Rs 9,659 cr in the month of April after putting in money in the preceding six months, as per the depositories' data, which further revealed that the FPIs withdrew a net amount of Rs5,936cr from Indian equity markets during May 3-7. Domestic institutional investors have net bought Rs2,135cr of shares so far in May, over and above the Rs 16,500cr of buying in the previous two months.
Macroeconomic data
Economic data like the IIP (Index of industrial production) and inflation data will be released this week. The industrial production and manufacturing production data for March, and inflation for April will release on Wednesday, while WPI inflation for April will be declared on Friday.
US stocks ended higher on Friday after unexpectedly weak jobs data spurred hopes of continued Fed intervention. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 229.23 points, or 0.7%, to 34777.76 while the S&P ticked up 30.98 points, or 0.7%, to 4232.60. The Nasdaq Composite added 119.39 points, or 0.9%, to 13752.24.
The monthly jobs report showed employers added 266,000 jobs in April and the unemployment rose to 6.1%. These figures significantly missed the expectations of economists who estimated that payrolls grew by one million and the unemployment rate fell to 5.8.The jobless rate rose to a record 14.8% in April 2020 in the midst of the early stages of the pandemic. The March jobs numbers were also revised down to 770,000 from 916,000 reported initially. The jobs report also showed that the unemployment rate ticked up and wages surged. The jump in worker paychecks may not seem like a bad thing, but it tends to set off alarm bells about inflation.
Still, the broader markets edged higher for a second week, with sentiment bolstered by Federal Reserve officials reiterating pledges to refrain from tightening monetary policy until the labor market is recovered.

Norma's Story
Home » Stories » Norma's Story
Every Monday through Friday, Norma Anderson oversees the "cat room" at the Central Missouri Humane Society. Sometimes she cleans cages. Other times she refills food bowls and makes sure the felines have plenty of water, especially on hot summer days. But best of all, Norma cuddles kittens; every now and then a curious cat springs to her shoulder and rubs across her neck, making her laugh.
Norma will be the first to tell you she has the job of her dreams.
"I love it, I love it!" she said, giggling with excitement. "I get to work with animals, and the people there know my diagnosis."
Norma, 21, has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism that can make ordinary social interactions a struggle, among other things. Until recently, Norma's developmental disability might have prevented her from joining the workforce and made her more dependent on her grandmother, a scenario Fern Anderson feared disastrous for her granddaughter.
"My goal in life has always been to get Norma to live independently," said Fern, who has raised Nora since she was 4. "If something happens to me, what will happen to Norma? She needs to know how to live independently. Up to now, I've done everything."
Thanks to the Partnership for Hope, Fern is confident her granddaughter will be ready for the future. Last fall, Norma received a variety of services through Boone County Family Resources, including job training and a chance to participate in a socialization class called Circles. She also received Community Specialist Services to develop practical living skills such as budgeting and cooking.
The instruction not only helped Norma land a job, but has better prepared her for an independent life.
"She has developed social skills and learned how to take on responsibilities," Fern said. "She's also learned how to clean, which is important if you're going to live on your own."
In the past, Norma would have had to have been in crisis – lost her grandmother or become homeless, for example – to receive these services. That changed late last year when Gov. Jay Nixon lent his support to a partnership among the state of Missouri, 37 county developmental disability boards and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The new program provides services to people with disabilities and their families far sooner, helping recipients avoid crisis and delay or avoid the move to a residential home or institution.
Norma was among the first people in the state to sign up for the program. Today, more than 1,300 persons in 83 counties and the city of St. Louis have received services. Each participant receives up to $12,000 in services per year.
After Norma graduated from high school in 2009, she enrolled in community college. But keeping up with her peers proved too much for Norma, who also has a learning disability. She applied for jobs, but had few skills to offer. Fern worried her granddaughter would be stuck at home and lose the social skills she acquired in school. Partnership for Hope was an answer to her prayers.
"The services she receives through the Partnership of Hope have made all this possible," Fern said.
Now that she's employed, Norma has opened a bank account, pays for her cellphone and helps cover household expenses. She's even planning a trip, one that might not have been possible without her new found independence.
"I'm saving up for a plane ticket to visit my mom in Cheyenne, Wyo.," she said.
