A normal with slope $\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}$ is drawn from the point $(0,-\alpha)$ to the parabola $x^2=-4 a y$, where $a>0$. Let $L$ be the line passing through $(0,-\alpha)$ and parallel to the directrix of the parabola. Suppose that $L$ intersects the parabola at two points $A$ and $B$. Let $r$ denote the length of the latus rectum and $s$ denote the square of the length of the line segment $A B$. If $r: s=1: 16$, then the value of $24 a$ is _______.

Suppose that the foci of the ellipse ${{{x^2}} \over 9} + {{{y^2}} \over 5} = 1$ are $\left( {{f_1},0} \right)$ and $\left( {{f_2},0} \right)$ where ${{f_1} > 0}$ and ${{f_2} < 0}$. Let ${P_1}$ and ${P_2}$ be two parabolas with a common vertex at $(0,0)$ and with foci at $\left( {{f_1},0} \right)$ and $\left( 2{{f_2},0} \right)$, respectively. Let ${T_1}$ be a tangent to ${P_1}$ which passes through $\left( 2{{f_2},0} \right)$ and ${T_2}$ be a tangent to ${P_2}$ which passes through $\left( {{f_1},0} \right)$. If ${m_1}$ is the slope of ${T_1}$ and ${m_2}$ is the slope of ${T_2}$, then the value of $\left( {{1 \over {m_1^2}} + m_2^2} \right)$ is
