Skills First Reconnect is a Victorian Government initiative being delivered by Federation Training which supports people between 17-64 who have left school early or who are long-term unemployed.
The program is designed to provide support to engage in a training and/or work pathway.
This program is designed for people keen to explore study and training options or kick start a career but are unsure where to start.
Skills First Reconnect provides an individualised service to each eligible participant to help them get back on track, build resilience and the capacity needed to successfully transition into formal learning and employment in a sustainable way.
Young people who leave school early often face multiple barriers to re-engaging in education and training or entering the workforce. Young people between the ages of 17 – 19 can enrol in the program to assist them to reach their potential.
Adults between the ages of 20-64 years who haven't completed year 12, been unemployed for 12 months or more and are not currently enrolled in study or training, can benefit from the program.
Skills First Reconnect participants will be provided with wrap-around supports helping to identify future goals, steps to work towards them, addressing any challenges and skill gaps, whilst building resilience and confidence to chase their dreams.


Swanton Village utility users now have a new way to drop off utility payments. A Village crew has installed a drive up box for residents to drop off utility payments without leaving their vehicle.
The drive up utility payment box is located at the far east of the building in front of the police station entrance. It is conveniently located before the turn into the parking lot.
Residents can continue to come into the Municipal Building to pay their utility bill. There is also automatic payment of utility bills available. Please visit the Village website villageofswantonohio.us/residents/utilitybilling/ or ask a Village staff member for more information.
Finally, neighbors can still get out of their vehicle to use the slot, in the rear foyer, until Dec. 31, 2018 when it will be permanently closed.


We are delighted to offer this magnificent matching numbers UK supplied Austin Healey onto the market. YNF 526A was built between the 1st and 4rd of November 1963 and supplied new by Windsor Motor Company, Windsor, Berkshire. This RHD Home Market car was equipped new with overdrive, wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering column, servo assisted brakes and laminated windscreen.
Whilst this is a genuine UK home market car, it has spent much of its life overseas in RHD format. The Austin Healey was taken to San Marino where it spent several years prior to being registered in Italy on the 7th July 1982. The Healey then spent 32 years in Italy, spending from 1982 to 2012 in Brescia with one owner. In 2014 the car was in Roma, and was brought back to the UK and it has had just one UK owner since.
YNF 526A came back to the UK and was sold to the last owner in stunning, excellent condition. The Ice Blue over Cream paintwork was and still is in pristine condition with an outstanding finish. The car was found to be in mechanically excellent order with a beautifully strong engine holding very good oil pressure. The Healey was put through an MOT, fully serviced and since then has covered just 500 faultless miles.
Throughout 2015 and 2016 the last owner has spent almost £10,000 on parts alone, all kept in the history file. Hundreds of hours have been put into the car to take it to the next level in terms of condition and detail. The interior has been fully re-trimmed to a truly exceptional standard and is probably the finest Healey 3000 we have seen. The quality is top class and whilst the trim was also removed, the floors were treated and painted. On re-fit, new chrome handles, knobs and many small parts replaced, along with new door cards, all new leather, new hood and high quality carpets. The engine bay has been detailed to an exceptional standard and gleams, the car is ready to take to a show. This is an outstanding example, driving superbly, presenting superbly and has the provenance of being a matching numbers UK car.


Hmm, I thought all the Christians were supposed to disappear? What's going on.
It's almost if The Rapture site was… wrong! They did update their site to take away the specific date of September 21st, but it still says the "Tribulation period starts by FALL 2009!" so they are still hanging out there with their nuts out.
It's a shame, really. We've been waiting 2000 years for God to perform any sort of a miracle.

Sometimes an idea comes along that seems so natural that you have to wonder why someone didn't think of it sooner. Put First Presbyterian Church's decision to hold services catering to people with special needs and their families into that category.
The church announced plans to hold an "access worship" service April 14. The service will be held in late afternoon, to avoid conflicts with other morning and evening services at churches around the city. It's expected to be a monthly feature at the church. And as far as church officials know, it's the first effort of its kind in the area.
Rev. Ben Keller, the church's pastor, recently said the format for the service is still being fine tuned. However, it will provide a less formal setting for people who have behaviorial issues that make it difficult for them to remain still and quiet. The music may be a little softer. And the sermon may be more interactive than the usual Sunday fare.
We commend First Presbyterian on its efforts to be inclusive to a group of people who sometimes are overlooked. It seems to us that's what Christian principles are all about.

Had the private method overridden that it would have called method from child class. By the way, compiler will not complain, it will treat method with exact same signature in child class as separate method, and this is known as method hiding in Java.
This is another common doubt among Java programmers, using final and private method in Java is a good choice, but I don't think it offer any benefit in terms of performance. Rather, this decision should be taken on the basis of design, functionality and ensuring readability of code.
Since making a method final, just limit it's ability to be overridden, it doesn't make much sense to mark a private method as final in Java, because private method can not overridden in Java by any means. So compiler will definitely perform sort of optimization it can e.g. inlining or caching it.
By the way, private keyword is one of the fundamental access modifier and can be applied to variables, methods and class, let's see some of the worth knowing fact about private keyword in Java.
1. You can apply private access modifier fields, methods and any inner class in Java. It's most restricted access modifier and only accessible in the class they are declared. They are not visible outside the class and accessing them outside will result in compile time error.
2.Top level Classes can not be private in Java. They can only be either public or without any access modifier i.e. only accessible in the package they are declared. In case of public class, name of Java source file must match with the name of public class.
3.Though private methods or variables are not accessible outside of the class, they are declare. They can be accessed via reflection by using setAccessible(true) and changing there private visibility. See this article for more details.
4.As we have seen in this article, private methods can not be overridden in Java, not even inside nested or inner classes.
5.Private members runs faster than non-private one, because of static binding. They are also better candidate for optimization from compiler because they can not be overridden.
In order to prove theory, we must see an example. In this Java program, we have declared a private method and trying to override them inside an Inner class. In main method, we are calling private method by using reference variable of Outer class, which is also parent but pointing to object of sub class. Though it does show that private method is accessible in Inner class, you just can not override them. Let's see what does output shows.
* using static binding in Java.
// private method inside inner class.
* instead it's just hiding parent class method.
From output it's clear that both the call to private method, which is made by using reference variable with type of parent class result in invoking private method from parent class, which is also outer class in our case. Had it was overridden, in case of second call, which is made using object of Inner sub class, would result in execution of private method of nested class. This proves that private method can not be overridden in Java, not in sub class and not even in Inner class.
That's all about question, Can we override private method in Java?. We have learned that this is not possible in Java. Though this is a real tough Java question, especially followup question which involves, Can we override private method on Inner class in Java. It can confuse you, if you are not sure about how private methods are bonded in Java. Let me know, if you think otherwise.
Can we override or overload static method in Java?
Difference between overloading and overriding in Java?
Difference between Set, List and Map in Java?
I think, that's what author meant to, by looking at code and output.
You cleared my doubt regarding private class! nice site!


"A human being is happiest and most successful when dedicated to a cause outside his own individual, selfish satisfaction."
Scientists have found that eating a fast food diet increases the risk for depression by more than fifty percent. Our grey matter is largely composed of the omega-3 fats, DHA and EPA. When we don't provide these basic building blocks through our diet, especially in the early formative years, the body is forced to use inferior fats such as those provided by hydrogenation, most frequently found in fast and processed foods.
A seven-month study of 30 individuals who were placed on a controlled raw food diet showed improvement in pain levels, flexibility and range of motion. Participants were absent from their workplace less and reported an increase in the number of days where they were pleased with their quality of life.
Research using polls and questionnaires continue to show that 3 of every 4 doctors and scientists would refuse chemotherapy for themselves due to its devastating effects on the entire body and the immune system, because of its extremely low success rate. On top of that, only 2 to 4% of all cancers even respond to chemotherapy or prove to be "life extending," yet it is prescribed across the board for just about every kind of cancer.
This lack of trust by doctors is spilling over to patients, and the move towards natural remedies is increasing, much the way it did in the early 1900's, before the dawn of modern medicine, pharmaceuticals, and radiation.
Auto-immune disorders are mainly caused when humans ingest chemicals from food, drinking water, vaccines contaminated with chemicals, artificial sweeteners and environmental pollution. Chemotherapy also fills the body with toxins in an effort to destroy cancer cells.
The most common chemotherapy agents act by killing cells that divide rapidly, which is one of the main properties of most cancer cells. This means that chemotherapy also harms cells that divide rapidly under normal circumstances: cells in the bone marrow, digestive tract, and hair follicles. This results in the most common side-effects of chemotherapy: decreased production of blood cells, immunosuppression, inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract, and hair loss.
It is better to help treat cancer by detoxifying your body and building up your host immune system, not break it down further by dousing one tumor or one organ with chemicals that pollute the entire system. Put it this way, if you had an injured toe and it needed a cold compress to help heal it, you wouldn't submerge the whole body in a freezing pool of water repeatedly for days, and then wait for the toe to heal!
Chemotherapy shows very little success with common solid tumors that occur in the colon, lung and breasts, as documented over the past decade. At best, chemotherapy should be considered alternative treatment.
While many people think of the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) as a pesky weed, herbalists consider it a valuable herb that can be used as a food and medicine. Dandelion is a rich source of vitamins A, B complex, C, and D, as well as minerals such as iron, potassium, and zinc. Dandelion leaves are used to add flavor to salads, sandwiches, and teas. The roots are used in some coffee substitutes.
Most natural health advocates know that dandelion is a good liver tonic. Native Americans also boiled dandelion in water and took it to treat kidney disease, swelling, skin problems, heartburn, and upset stomach. In traditional Chinese medicine, dandelion has been used to treat stomach problems, appendicitis, and breast problems, such as inflammation or lack of milk flow. In Europe, it was used in remedies for fever, boils, eye problems, diabetes, and diarrhea.
But now research is showing that it's also a cancer fighter. Oncologist, Dr. Caroline Hamm noticed a few cancer patients who had been drinking dandelion tea seemed to be getting better and recommended further study be conducted. Researchers at Windsor University in Windsor, Canada plunged into the research by working on leukemia blood samples with their own dandelion root extract. They were amazed to find the leukemia cells were forced into apoptosis, or cell suicide.
More amazing to them was the fact that non-cancerous cells were left alone. In other words, the dandelion root extract targeted only the cancer cells, which is not true with chemotherapy pharmaceuticals that kill everything in their paths.
Tomato contains lycopene, which is anti-cancer properties. Beetroot is an excellent blood tonic and immune booster. Dandelion supports liver function.

Fixed savings rates increase further
Home News Savings Fixed savings rates increase further
The savings market has come a long way as thriving competition has pushed it out of record low territory, and happily, it's continuing to improve, with our latest figures showing that average fixed savings rates have risen once again!
Fixed rate boost
That's according to figures from our latest UK Savings Trends report, which reveal that all fixed rates have seen a rise this month, bar the one-year ISA rate which remained unchanged. In the non-ISA sector, the one-year fixed rate bond rose by 0.02% to stand at 1.09%, while the long-term rate rose by an even greater 0.08% to 1.57%.
This is the first time that the average long-term fixed rate bond has risen above 1.50% since August last year, and is the highest rate seen since July 2016 (1.60%). Even more significantly, this marks the sixth consecutive month that both non-ISA rates have risen, as competition continues to heighten in this sector of the market.
In the cash ISA sector, meanwhile, the one-year ISA rate remained unchanged at 0.95%, but the long-term equivalent rose by 0.06% for the second month running to stand at 1.25%, marking a 12-month high.
Activity wasn't quite as marked in the variable rate sector; here, the average no notice rate remained unchanged at 0.38% for the second month running, while the notice account rate rose by 0.04% to 0.61%, the first time it's risen above 0.60% since last October.
In the ISA market, both variable rates remained unchanged, with the no notice rate at 0.61% and the notice rate at 0.76%.
Despite the lack of upwards movement in the variable sector, this is the first month that no savings rates have fallen since March, suggesting a definite change of direction.
Indeed, some rates are beginning to make up some of the ground lost in the aftermath of last year's base rate cut – at least in the fixed sector – with the average one-year fixed rate now a mere 0.03% below that seen in August 2016, just before the base rate cut was implemented, while the long-term equivalent is 0.01% above its August 2016 level.
This in itself suggests a resurgence in the fixed market, but just why have fixed rate bonds seen such an improvement recently? Well, much of it is down to competition between challenger banks, with these smaller brands vying to make it to the top of the Best Buys.
Challengers compete
As we reported earlier this week, there's been a definite boost in provider numbers
in recent months, as more new banks decide to enter the market. These newer brands, in an attempt to establish themselves, have no option but to compete: many have set funding targets that they need to meet, and they do that by offering competitive rates.
Indeed, many providers use fixed rate bonds as a "tap" that they can turn on (increase rates) or off (reduce rates or withdraw products) depending on their funding requirements, and similarly, when a number of their bonds mature, they'll need to return to that sector to retain their lending stream – which could be behind the latest boost in rates.
Our data backs this up, revealing that the vast majority of rate increases this month came from these smaller names, with there still being a clear lack of desire to compete among high street names. This looks set to continue for the foreseeable future, but hopefully challengers will keep holding the fort, as these brands still need our cash – and they're willing to offer decent rates in order to get it.
Check out the best fixed rate bonds to snap up a top deal


The Food Aid Quality Review (FAQR) is part of a series of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) activities aimed at enhancing product choice under Title II of Public Law 480 (PL480), which provides donated foods to improve nutritional status of vulnerable populations, improving quality control and assurance (of both processes and products), and updating technical guidance and the evidence base for programming approaches. The USAID Office of Food for Peace (FFP) awarded the FAQR contract to Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy in 2009.
FAQR Phase I, conducted from 2009 to 2011, examined the nutritional needs of beneficiary populations across the developing world and the nutritional quality of commodities currently available to meet those needs, with the objective of improving the quality of Title II food aid commodities and programming. The findings of FAQR Phase I were published as a report, Delivering Improved Nutrition: Recommendations for Changes to U.S. Food Aid Products and Programs (USAID, April 2011), which is available at foodaidquality.org and at http://www.usaid.gov/what-we-do/agriculture-and-food-security/food-assistance/resources/research-and-policy-papers. "In 2011, we completed a food aid quality review in partnership with Tufts University that resulted in the most far-reaching improvements to U.S. food aid since 1966." Remarks by former USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, April 10, 2013. That led to FAQR Phase II's focus on reformulating Fortified Blended Foods (FBFs), the inclusion of lipid-based products in FFP's commodity list, and testing new products under field conditions. A full summary of FAQR Phase II accomplishments are highlighted in the Food Aid Quality Review Phase II Closeout Report (forthcoming, April 2016).
FAQR Phase III will conclude Phase II activities, while also responding to additional (new) FFP priorities. FAQR Phase III will focus on generating links between research on food product formulation with recommendations on cost-effective programming and policy-level action among national and multilateral institutions engaged in food assistance. Tufts will work closely with several key domestic and international collaborators, USAID, USDA, and with United Nations (UN) partners, all of which are committed to strengthening the evidence base for use of specialized food products for targeted nutrition goals.
FAQR will examine such mission-critical issues as: how food matrices affect bioavailability of nutrients and digestibility of products; the potential for thermal/non-thermal processing technologies to improve food matrices; potential roles for existing products that are rarely used today, as well as new products (which may include fortificant powders) and novel packaging technologies to improve resistance to infestation, shelf life, and efficiency of handling; dual-use products for emergency response; completion of the data collection, analysis, and reporting on field studies that assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of various newly formulated food products.
FAQR will focus on program cost-effectiveness of various intervention designs. This will include strategy development for pre-positioned food stocks, guidance on options for deployment of specialized products, elaboration of a strategy for responding to food needs in the initial stages of a sudden onset emergency, and dissemination of cost calculation tools. It will also generate improved technical guidance, share details on research protocols used in testing new products, finalize specification templates, and address food quality assurance monitoring. A formal assessment of FAQR's progress during FAQR II will lead to an 'Evidence Summit' in FY18 to share widely and discuss all empirical findings and recommendations from the FAQR as a whole.
FAQR III will provide recommendations on institutional and industry processes, including the institutionalization and strengthening of interagency technical consultation processes, mechanisms to ensure greater policy and product harmonization (domestically and internationally), providing recommendations for enhanced supply chain oversight, establishing stronger and more user-friendly quality assurance feedback loops, as well as promoting food safety and quality standards that can also be applied to local and regional food procurement.

Q1 Google Earnings Bared, Board Proposes New Class of Stock
Steven Bobson, Europe & Americas Editor
Proposal Would Effectively Implement 2-for-1 Stock Split While Preserving Long-Term Governance Structure
Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) has finally announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2012.
"Google had another great quarter with revenues up 24% year on year," said Larry Page, CEO of Google.
"We also saw tremendous momentum from the big bets we've made in products like Android, Chrome and YouTube. We are still at the very early stages of what technology can do to improve people's lives and we have enormous opportunities ahead. It is a very exciting time to be at Google."
Also, Google's Board of Directors unanimously approved a stock dividend proposal designed to preserve the corporate structure that has allowed Google to remain focused on the long term.
Google reported revenues of $10.65 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 24% compared to the first quarter of 2011. Google reports its revenues, consistent with GAAP, on a gross basis without deducting traffic acquisition costs (TAC). In the first quarter of 2012, TAC totaled $2.51 billion, or 25% of advertising revenues.
Google reports operating income, operating margin, net income, and earnings per share (EPS) on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis. The non-GAAP measures, as well as free cash flow, an alternative non-GAAP measure of liquidity, are described below and are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measures at the end of this release.
GAAP operating income in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.39 billion, or 32% of revenues. This compares to GAAP operating income of $2.30 billion, or 27% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP operating income in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.94 billion, or 37% of revenues. This compares to non-GAAP operating income of $3.23 billion, or 38% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2011.
GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2012 was $2.89 billion, compared to $1.80 billion in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2012 was $3.33 billion, compared to $2.64 billion in the first quarter of 2011.
GAAP EPS in the first quarter of 2012 was $8.75 on 330 million diluted shares outstanding, compared to $5.51 in the first quarter of 2011 on 326 million diluted shares outstanding. Non-GAAP EPS in the first quarter of 2012 was $10.08, compared to $8.08 in the first quarter of 2011.
Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin exclude the expenses related to stock-based compensation (SBC) and a charge related to the resolution of a Department of Justice investigation in the first quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS exclude the expenses noted above, net of the related tax benefits. In the first quarter of 2012, the charge related to SBC and related tax benefits were $556 million and $118 million compared to $432 million and $92 million in the first quarter of 2011. In the first quarter of 2011, the charge related to the resolution of the Department of Justice investigation was $500 million.
"We recognized no tax benefit for the charge related to the resolution of the Department of Justice investigation. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP operating income, operating margin, net income, and EPS are included at the end of this release," Google said.
Google reported revenues of $10.65 billion in the first quarter of 2012, representing a 24% increase over first quarter 2011 revenues of $8.58 billion. Google reports its revenues, consistent with GAAP, on a gross basis without deducting TAC.
Google-owned sites generated revenues of $7.31 billion, or 69% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2012. This represents a 24% increase over first quarter 2011 revenues of $5.88 billion.
Google's partner sites generated revenues of $2.91 billion, or 27% of total revenues, in the first quarter of 2012. This represents a 20% increase from first quarter 2011 network revenues of $2.43 billion.
Revenues from outside of the United States totaled $5.77 billion, representing 54% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 53% in the fourth quarter of 2011 and 53% in the first quarter of 2011. Excluding gains related to its foreign exchange risk management program, had foreign exchange rates remained constant from the fourth quarter of 2011 through the first quarter of 2012, Google's revenues in the first quarter of 2012 would have been $79 million higher.
Excluding gains related to its foreign exchange risk management program, had foreign exchange rates remained constant from the first quarter of 2011 through the first quarter of 2012, its revenues in the first quarter of 2012 would have been $67 million higher.
Revenues from the United Kingdom totaled $1.15 billion, representing 11% of revenues in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 11% in the first quarter of 2011.
In the first quarter of 2012, Google recognized a benefit of $37 million to revenues through its foreign exchange risk management program, compared to $14 million in the first quarter of 2011.
A reconciliation of its non-GAAP international revenues excluding the impact of foreign exchange and hedging to GAAP international revenues is included at the end of this release.
Aggregate paid clicks, which include clicks related to ads served on Google sites and the sites of its Network members, increased approximately 39% over the first quarter of 2011 and increased approximately 7% over the fourth quarter of 2011.
Average cost-per-click, which includes clicks related to ads served on Google sites and the sites of its Network members, decreased approximately 12% over the first quarter of 2011 and decreased approximately 6% over the fourth quarter of 2011.
Traffic acquisition costs, the portion of revenues shared with Google's partners, increased to $2.51 billion in the first quarter of 2012, compared to TAC of $2.04 billion in the first quarter of 2011. TAC as a percentage of advertising revenues was 25% in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 25% in the first quarter of 2011.
The majority of TAC is related to amounts ultimately paid to Google's Network members, which totaled $2.04 billion in the first quarter of 2012. TAC also includes amounts ultimately paid to certain distribution partners and others who direct traffic to its website, which totaled $468 million in the first quarter of 2012.
Other cost of revenues, which is comprised primarily of data center operational expenses, amortization of intangible assets, content acquisition costs, and credit card processing charges increased to $1.28 billion, or 12% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $897 million, or 10% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2011.
Operating expenses, other than cost of revenues, were $3.47 billion in the first quarter of 2012, or 33% of revenues, compared to $3.34 billion in the first quarter of 2011, or 39% of revenues.
In the first quarter of 2012, the total charge related to SBC was $556 million, compared to $432 million in the first quarter of 2011.
"We currently estimate SBC charges for grants to employees prior to March 31, 2012 to be approximately $2 billion for 2012. This estimate does not include expenses to be recognized related to employee stock awards that are granted after March 31, 2012 or non-employee stock awards that have been or may be granted," Google said.

King's Group is an international education and training company. It originated in Spain when King's College, Madrid was opened in 1969 by Roger Fry but is headquartered in Tenbury Wells in the United Kingdom

King's Group is the parent company of King's College schools and also owns other educational and non-educational entities: King's College, Madrid, King's College International, King's Training (Spain and Panama) and Nexalia Services.

In February 2014 King's Group was granted permission from the Department for Education (DfE) in London to sponsor Academies and Free Schools in England. This new area of the business is called King's Group Academies. Currently, there are five academies in the UK, with another set to open this year.

The business provides pre-school, primary and secondary education to nearly 8000 students of more than 80 nationalities, in the United Kingdom, Spain, Panama and Germany, and employs over 1200 education professionals, specialists and staff.

King's College schools give their pupils an academic, all-round liberal, Christian based education. The schools do not practice strong belief standings, but instead live by the values encased on the school crest of "Honestly, Faith and Courage".

In 2018, King's Group were awarded the Education Investors Award, for being the winner in the Private Education Group of the Year category.

Company history
King's Group was initiated by British-born teacher Roger Fry (educationist) in 1969. The first school in the Group was opened in the Chamartín district of Madrid. The school initially opened its doors to 70 pupils in 1969, and by 1974 nearly 500 pupils attended the school. King's College soon outgrew its premises and by 1976 ten houses of differing size and design were in use in the Chamartín area of Madrid.

After occupying these premises for some nine years, the school moved in 1978 to its present, purpose-built premises in the residential area of Soto de Viñuelas (Tres Cantos), a 30-minute car journey from Madrid city centre.  The school maintained its title;

King's College, The British School of Madrid (Soto de Viñuelas)
Since 1978, many improvements and additions were made to the school building, including a residential wing for boarding students, a 25m heated swimming pool, a 400-seat auditorium, a Music School and an Early Years Learning Centre.

King's Infant School, The British School of Madrid (Chamartín)

The early 1980s saw a turning point in the Group's history, with the second school being added to the network, back in the area of the founding location of Chamartín.

King's Training

At the same time, a secondary facet of the Group was introduced: King's Training, addressing the need for adult language learning and coaching.

Nexalia Services

Five years later in 1987, Nexalia Services (formerly Servicios Lasalle) was inaugurated, an internal company to look after the growing catering and maintenance needs of the King's College schools.

In the 1990s the UK boarding school was added to the school network. It closed on the 30th of June 2020 as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

King's College, The British School of Alicante

As the new century turned, the school network further increased, and a fourth school in the south of Spain was opened by Julio Herranz.

King's College International

In the same year, Sir Roger opened another company trading under King's Group, which offered courses to young children (not already pupils of a King's College school) to be able to study abroad for an academic year or attend a summer camp to learn English.

King's College School, The British School of Madrid (La Moraleja)

In 2007, a third school in Madrid was purpose-built on the new development of land in the residential area of La Moraleja in Madrid.

King's College, The British School of Murcia

In the same year the sixth school was added to Group, and the second in the south of Spain.

King's College, The British School of Panama

In 2009, the Group celebrated its 40th anniversary, which was shortly followed in September 2012 by the opening of the seventh school in the network.

King's Training, Panama

While opening King's College, The British School of Panama, the Group also took the opportunity to establish an adult Training arm of the organisation. Aiming to optimise B2B resources, define strategies and deliver results.

King's Group Academies

In 2014 King's Group was granted permission from the Department for Education (DfE) in London to sponsor Academies and Free Schools in England.

King's Infant School, The British School of Elche

The ninth school in the Group was opened in September 2017, in Elche.

King's College, The British School of Latvia
The school, which will be the first British curriculum school in Latvia, was opened in September 2017.

King's College, The British School of Frankfurt
King's College Frankfurt was opened in August 2018, in the town of Friedrichsdorf. And closed permanently in 2021.

HOPEWELL — Last month the Hopewell Electoral Board continued its legal dispute with the Virginia State Board of Elections. The jury trial for the matter has been set.
There will be a two-day jury trial, one on Thursday, Feb. 28 and Friday, March 1, where respondents former Hopewell Electoral Board Vice Chairman David Silvestro and former secretary Herbert Townes will present their case on why the court should not uphold their removal as petitioned by the plaintiffs, the state board of elections.
In a September 2018 meeting with the Virginia State Board of Elections and Hopewell Electoral Board, the state board saw fit to petition the courts for the removal of Townes and Silvestro after reviewing the electoral board's recent misconduct.
After being petitioned by the the state board, Silvestro and Townes met in court in October where they were suspended and removed from Hopewell's electoral board. The case continues this month where it will go to a jury trial.

With a total population of 82.8 million in mid-2009(1), Ethiopia is the fourteenth most populous country in the world and the second most populous country in Africa, following Nigeria, which has a population of 152.6 million. Ethiopia's population has grown rapidly in recent years and, at an annual growth rate of 2.7%, the population is expected to reach 113 million by 2025 and 149.5 million by 2050(2). Nearly half of the population (49.7%) is female.
The average household size is 4.8(3). 84% of the total population lives in rural areas, making Ethiopia one of the least urbanised countries in the world. Of those living in urban areas, 82% have inadequate accommodation, living in what are considered to be slums.
As in many other developing countries, the rate of growth of the urban population (4.3%) is much higher than that of the total population (2.7%). Rapid population growth exacerbates critical gaps in basic health services especially when growth of the economy is low or per capita incomes are in decline.
The average population density is 75 per square km(4), with great variation among regions. Higher densities are found in the highland areas, mostly above the 1,500m contour line. About 23% of the population is concentrated on 9% of the land area putting pressure on cultivable land and contributing to environmental degradation. On the other hand, roughly 50 percent of the land area represents sparsely populated areas with nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoral people living in arid plains or in a semi-desert environment. The settlement pattern of the population and its density greatly affect the provision of health care including the accessibility and utilisation of existing health care facilities.
The structure of the population of Ethiopia shows the dominance of the young as is typical of many developing countries. About 43% of the population comprises those under the age of 15 years; 54% between the ages of 15 and 65 years and only 3% aged over 65. A large proportion of women (24%) are in the reproductive age (15-49 years). The main characteristic of the Ethiopian population is, therefore, its youthfulness, with children (0-14 years) and youths (15-24 years) together accounting for almost 64 percent of the total.
Total fertility rate for the country is high with 5.3 children per woman. The level of fertility is significantly lower in urban (TFR 3.3) compared to rural (TFR 6.4) areas of the country. Fertility is highest in the Oromiya Region (6.4 births per woman) and lowest in Addis Ababa (1.9 births per woman).
The overall dependency ratio for the country is estimated as 85.9 dependents per 100 people in the working age group 15-64. The impact of HIV/AIDS has also been exacerbating the dependency ratio by depleting the productive group of the population.
Ethiopia's population is highly diverse. Most of its people speak a Semitic or Cushitic language. The Oromo, Amhara, and Tigreans make up more than three-quarters of the population, but there are more than 77 different ethnic groups with their own distinct languages within Ethiopia. Some of these have as few as 10,000 members. In general, most of the Christians live in the highlands, while Muslims and adherents of traditional African religions tend to inhabit lowland regions. English is the most widely spoken foreign language and is taught in all secondary schools. Amharic is the official language and was the language of primary school instruction but has been replaced in many areas by local languages such as Oromifa and Tigrinya.

Question: When is it appropriate to collect the deductible/co-insurance from a patient? We have heard that we can no longer collect at the time of the service.
Answer: In a a recent update, First Coast Medicare Administrative Contractor stated: "Although it's not a violation for participating providers to accept payment prior to rendering services, there are specific guidelines to follow, especially when reporting these payments. Additionally, some providers who accept assignment have a concern that Medicare issues partial checks to beneficiaries. Such checks are generally issued because of a patient paid amount in item 29 of the CMS-1500 (02/12) claim form."
You not collect deductible/coinsurance amounts until Medicare Part B payment is received since it is difficult to predict when these amounts will apply (and over-collection is considered program abuse). In addition, this practice can cause Medicare to issue a portion of the provider's check to beneficiaries on assigned claims.
If you believe you can accurately predict the co-insurance amount and wish to collect it before you receive Medicare Part B payment, note the amount collected for co-insurance on your claim form.
You not show any amounts collected from patients if the service is never covered by Medicare Part B or you believe, in a particular case, the service will be denied payment. Where patient paid amounts are shown for services that are denied payment, a portion of the provider's check may go to the beneficiary.
There is no need to show a patient paid amount in item 29 of form CMS-1500 (or electronic equivalent) when assignment is not accepted.

INSIGHTS INTO THE
DAILY DAF
prepared by Kollel Iyun Hadaf
of Yerushalayim
1) THE VIEW OF REBBI YEHUDAH "WITH REGARD TO TUM'AH"
QUESTION: The Gemara asks, "What does Rebbi Yehudah say with regard to Tum'ah?" ("B'Tum'ah, Mah Li Amar Rebbi Yehudah?")
What is the Gemara's question?
ANSWER: According to RASHI, the Gemara is asking, "What does Rebbi Yehudah say about Yemei Tohar for a second birth that occurs Toch Melos (within the Yemei Tohar of the first birth)?" The two sides of the Gemara's question are as follows:
When a woman gives birth to an embryo within the Yemei Tohar for the previous birth, Rebbi Yehudah rules that she does not bring a Korban Yoledes for the second birth. The Gemara is asking what the Halachic status of the second birth is with regard to its own Yemei Tohar and Yemei Tamei.
The first possibility is that the second birth has no effect on the counting of Yemei Tohar for the first birth, even though she must observe Yemei Tum'ah as a result of the second birth. That is, if she miscarried a female fetus and counted two weeks of Tum'ah, she must add another two weeks of Yemei Tohar for the first birth to make up for the intervening days of Tum'ah. After she completes the counting of the full 66 Yemei Tohar for the first birth, she begins to count more Yemei Tohar for the second birth, until she completes the entire requisite number of days.
The second possibility is that she does not have to make up those days of Yemei Tohar (for the first birth) that she lost as a result of having to observe Yemei Tum'ah (for the second birth) in the middle of her count. Rather, if she is counting Yemei Tohar for the birth of a girl, she counts only until the end of 80 days (14 + 66 days) from the first birth and no more, and the Yemei Tohar of the second birth last only until the end of 80 days after the second birth and no more (RASHI DH Oh Dilma).
From the words of Rav Huna mi'Sura, who attempts to answer the question of the Gemara differently from the above two sides of the question, it is evident that there is a third possibility. Since Rebbi Yehudah maintains that she does not bring a Korban for the second birth, perhaps he maintains that she also does not need to count Yemei Tohar for that birth at all. At the end of 80 days after the first birth, the Yemei Tohar are completed and she counts no more. (It seems from Rashi's words (DH b'Tum'ah Mah Li Amar Rebbi Yehudah) that when the Gemara asks its question, it acknowledges that there indeed are three sides to the question, and not just the two mentioned above.)
(TOSFOS, as cited by the Shitah Mekubetzes #3, understands that there are only two sides to the Gemara's question -- the second and third sides mentioned above.)
2) EREV PESACH THAT OCCURS ON THE FORTIETH DAY AFTER THE BIRTH OF THE SECOND TWIN
QUESTION: The Gemara cites a Beraisa that says that a Korban may be slaughtered, and its blood sprinkled, on behalf of a woman on the fortieth day after she gives birth to a male, or on the eightieth day after she gives birth to a female. RASHI (DH Shochtin) explains that the Beraisa refers to the Korban Pesach. The Gemara at this stage understands that the Beraisa refers to the last day of the woman's Yemei Tohar.
The Gemara asks why the Korban Pesach may be offered for her, if she is Mechusar Kaparah since she does not bring her Korban Yoledes until day 41 (see Rashi and Shitah Mekubetzes #33). Rav Chisda answers that the Beraisa follows the view of Rebbi Yehudah (9b), who maintains that the second birth (miscarriage) that occurs within the first 40 days after the birth of a male, or within the first 80 days after the birth of a female, is not considered a birth to require the woman to bring an additional Korban. Rashi (DH Amar Rav Chisda) explains that Rebbi Yehudah understands that the Beraisa is discussing a woman who gave birth to twins on two consecutive days. On day 41 after the birth of the first child, she may bring a Korban for that birth even though it is only day 40 after the birth of the second child. According to Rebbi Yehudah, we do not take into account the fact that the second birth should prevent her from bringing the Korban, and the second twin's birth does not force her to wait until day 42, when the Yemei Tohar of the second birth are finished.
Rashi adds that the Beraisa is teaching two things. It is teaching that a Korban Pesach may be slaughtered for the woman even though she has not yet brought her Korban for the second baby. It is also teaching that she may bring her Korban after the Korban Pesach was slaughtered, and she may eat her share of the Korban Pesach that evening.
What is the intention of the Beraisa's two teachings, according to Rashi? Why would one have thought that a Korban Pesach may not be slaughtered for the woman before she has brought her Korban Yoledes, and why would one have thought that she may not eat the Korban Pesach after she brings her Korban Yoledes?
ANSWER: The ARUCH LA'NER explains that the first Chidush of the Beraisa is that the Halachah follows the ruling of Rav Yehudah in the name of Rav, who says in Pesachim (90a) that one may slaughter the Korban Pesach and sprinkle the blood on behalf of one who has not yet brought his Korban for Kaparah. The Chidush is that there is no concern that the Yoledes will be negligent and not bring her Korbanos, since she is required to hand over her Korbanos to Beis Din. (That is, she must place the money for the Korbanos into the designated collection box in the Beis ha'Mikdash, and we may assume that the Kohanim will see to it that her money is used to bring her Korban before she eats Kodshim.)
The second Chidush of the Beraisa is that the woman is permitted to bring her Korban for Kaparah after the birth even though she brings it after the Korban Pesach. That is, the law requires that the Korban Pesach be slaughtered after the daily Tamid offering of Minchah. Normally, the Tamid of Minchah must be the last Avodah of the day, with the exception of the Ketores, the lighting of the Menorah, the Korban Pesach, and the Korban of a Mechusar Kipurim on Erev Pesach, who needs to bring his Korban in order to be permitted to eat the Korban Pesach (Pesachim 59a). Even though there is a Mitzvas Aseh to ensure that the Korban Tamid be the last offering of the day, the Mitzvah of eating the Korban Pesach is a more severe Mitzvas Aseh (punishable with Kares), and, therefore, a woman may bring her Korban Yoledes even after the offering of the Tamid, in order permit herself to eat the Korban Pesach. (D. BLOOM)
3) THE "KORBAN OLEH V'YORED" OF A "METZORA"
QUESTION: The Mishnah discusses the Korbanos of Oleh v'Yored. The Gemara cites a Beraisa that lists the categories of people who must bring a Korban Oleh v'Yored. One category may bring either a Korban of a rich person (an animal) or a Korban of a poor person (bird). Another category may bring the Korban of a poor person (bird) or the Korban of a pauper (Minchah offering).
The Beraisa explains that a woman who gave birth brings either the Korban of a rich person (a male sheep as an Olah and a Tor (turtledove) or a Ben Yonah (common dove) as a Chatas), or, if she cannot afford a sheep, then she brings the Korban of a poor person (two Torim or two Bnei Yonah, one as an Olah and one as a Chatas). The Beraisa explains that a Metzora, on the other hand, brings only the Korban of a poor person.
What does the Gemara mean when it says that a Metzora brings only the Korban of a poor person? The Torah (Vayikra 14:10, 21-22) explicitly states that a Metzora, as part of his Taharah process, brings two male sheep (one as an Olah and one as an Asham) and one female sheep (as a Chatas), and if he is poor he brings two Torim or two Bnei Yonah as his Olah and Chatas, but he still brings a sheep as an Asham. Since there is a difference between a rich Metzora and a poor Metzora, why does the Beraisa say that a Metzora always brings the Korbanos of a poor person?
(a) The RASHASH explains that the Beraisa's intention is that a poor Yoledes brings some of her Korbanos the way that a poor person does, and she brings other Korbanos the way that a rich person does. In contrast, a poor Metzora brings all of his Korbanos like a poor man. That is, the Yoledes always brings two Korbanos: an Olah and a Chatas. The Olah of a rich Yoledes is a sheep, while the Olah of a poor Yoledes is a Tor or Ben Yonah. This is what the Beraisa means when it says that a Yoledes bring the Korban of the poor; she brings the Olah of a poor person. The Chatas, though, remains the same. It is always a Tor or Ben Yonah.
In contrast, the poor Metzora brings only Korbanos of the poor; he brings two Torim or two Bnei Yonah as a Chatas and as an Olah, while a rich Metzora brings only sheep as his Chatas and Olah.
The Rashash explains that even though a poor Metzora still brings a sheep as his Asham, this is not considered a rich man's Korban, because the Torah never distinguishes between the rich and the poor with regard to a Korban Asham.
(b) The CHOK NASAN seems to understand the Beraisa's statement about the Korban of a Metzora in the same way that the Rashash understands it. However, he gives a different explanation for the statement that a Yoledes brings both the Korbanos of the rich and the poor. He says that the Beraisa does not refer to a poor Yoledes, but rather to a rich Yoledes. The Beraisa is saying that even a rich Yoledes sometimes brings the Korban of the poor. The Torah says that the woman's Chatas is a Tor or Ben Yonah (Vayikra 12:6), even though bird offerings are usually brought only by the poor. In contrast, the Korbanos of a Metzora are always uniform; if he is rich, he brings only Korbanos of a rich person, and if he is poor, he brings only Korbanos of a poor person. (See SI'ACH HA'SADEH, part 3, of RAV CHAIM KANIESKY shlit'a, who cites a similar explanation in the name of the CHAZON ISH.) (D. BLOOM)

Q: Adding Compression to Images before sending to server to a Rails Active Storage application with/wo Direct Upload and Canvas/Compress.js I have already worked with Active Storage and Direct Uploads. I have installed ActiveStorage and and created the database so there is no problem with adding images. I have added this to my model:
class Project < ApplicationRecord
  has_many_attached :images
end

and putting the form field in the view as such:
<%= f.file_field :images, accept:'image/*', class: "input-file" multiple %>

and adding this to my controller:
private
    def project_params
      params.require(:project).permit(:title, :content, images: [])
    end

Not sure if this will save me data (since most of the photos will probably be huge) but any suggestions on implementation would be great. I would like to get something like canvas compress using base64(again not sure if this is best)  and resize, convert to blob then upload or a javascript compress like compress.js (https://www.npmjs.com/package/compress.js) working on the images so they would be compressed and sized on the user's side before being sent to the server thus reducing the amount of data being sent.
I found this code here which I'm not super certain about or how to integrate something like this because Javascript is not in my wheelhouse.
function compressImage (base64) {
  const canvas = document.createElement('canvas')
  const img = document.createElement('img')

  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    img.onload = function () {
      let width = img.width
      let height = img.height
      const maxHeight = 200
      const maxWidth = 200

      if (width > height) {
        if (width > maxWidth) {
          height = Math.round((height *= maxWidth / width))
          width = maxWidth
        }
      } else {
        if (height > maxHeight) {
          width = Math.round((width *= maxHeight / height))
          height = maxHeight
        }
      }
      canvas.width = width
      canvas.height = height

      const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')
      ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0, width, height)

      resolve(canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.7))
    }
    img.onerror = function (err) {
      reject(err)
    }
    img.src = base64
  })
}

Basically I'm asking a two part question. If my users will be uploading many photos (display res isn't  necessary to be kept super high) will using canvas compress with base64 then return the image as a blob be the best use or just sticking with direct upload (rails js) and not bother with compressing the image? 2nd Part is how would I go about implementing this if that is a good idea? Many sites do this already where maintaining the original photo size is not necessary.
