The student's short film uses conventions from the film "The Lovely Bones" as inspiration. It includes a young innocent girl named Lilly who is abducted, similar to the main character in "The Lovely Bones". It also features an old scary man as the abductor. The film uses a voiceover throughout without music to build tension. It does not show any explicit scenes between the characters to stick to conventions. Some conventions are challenged, such as providing clues about what happens to Lilly more quickly than in "The Lovely Bones" to build tension in the shorter format. Overall the film focuses more on using conventions than challenging them to help ensure the film's success.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Media evaluation q7
- 1. Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?
- 2. This is my Preliminary task
- 3. This is my final task.
- 4. I also carried out many drafts in the process before making a decision on what looked the most appropriate.
- 7. What I have learnt from this process? - Not to make the magazine too cluttered. - To use new and different colours that you haven't seen used before in a magazine to give it a fresh and contemporary look. - Keep all the selling lines straight -Add catchy phrases - Make sure the title fits the magazine and themes in the magazine - The content must vary. I feel I have made a great deal of progress since my preliminary task compared to my final product. However I did keep some of the conventions as I felt they were effective in my school magazine. - Kept the main image a head and shoulders shot as I feel that is conventional of any magazine and in my opinion a magazine that doesn’t do that looks unprofessional for the cover. - I also kept the catchy phrases as I feel it adds a sense of humour for example “Rita Ora is HOT right now”- this is taken from her latest song called “hot right now” so I have used her lyrics as a tag line to describe her and people who know the song will understand the sense of humour -For the tag lines I learnt how to soften them and make them more opaque as I learnt that the main focus should be the masthead as this is the most eye-catching aspect to attract the Target Audience. - I have also learnt to keep the themes the same throughout the three inserts as I have carried through the same colours and stories.
- 8. Overall.. Overall, I feel i have made a great deal of progress from my preliminary task and I have learnt a lot and I believe this has allowed me to appeal to my target audience more. I feel that I have been influenced by magazines on the market and I have had the advantage of being able to pick and choose what parts I like out of the magazines and then use it in mine. My market research was really helpful and I based most of my decisions on that and research that I had carried out. I also believe that drafting is the key to success as they say “practice makes perfect”, but this way i was able to make minor changes that really made a difference to the professionalism of the magazine.
