I changed the lyric just a little, so I had Suno generate new versions of the song based on the modifications, since this is the one I submitted to the copyright office.

I'm looking into options for creating music videos, such as PikaArt, AuXLabs, Kaiber, PlazmaPunk, Decoherene and Noisee. This last one looks the most promising at a glance, so I'm giving it a test run now. Unfortunately, there are over 200 people ahead of me in line, so I'm going to have to wait a super long time to see the result. In the meantime, let me see what I can find out about the service...


Noisee AI is primarily a free tool for creating music videos, but it does offer a premium option for enhanced features.

Free Access
Noisee AI is free to use, which makes it accessible to a wide range of users without any financial commitment. There are no subscription plans or hidden fees involved, allowing users to explore and create music videos without financial barriers.

Paid Plan
There is an available paid plan known as the Creators Plan, which costs $20 per month. This plan provides features such as prioritized video generation for quicker output, which may appeal to users needing faster results. Thus, while the base service is free, users can opt for a subscription to unlock additional functionality.

Usage Limits
Under the free model, users can generate up to 3 videos daily, refreshing daily at UTC+0. This limitation can make the premium plan more attractive for frequent users or those with larger project needs.

Integration Features
Despite being free, Noisee AI offers a user-friendly interface and supports various audio sources like Suno, YouTube, SoundCloud, and mp3 files, which enhances its usability for both free and paid users.

In summary, while Noisee AI provides a robust free option for music video creation, it also offers an upgraded version for users seeking expedited services.
 
My years as an elementary school teacher made it clear to me that if students didn't master multiplication facts at grade level, they would find it all but impossible to do well in math thereafter. That's why I found it unacceptable when certain colleagues suggested we address this gap in education by having the kids compensate using pocket calculators, or even altogether dismissed the problem by saying something such as, "Oh well, they'll get it eventually."

The fact of the matter is, students do not get it "eventually," as if by magic. Indeed, the only way to solve a problem is to face it head-on. Accordingly, I made it my goal to find an approach that would guarantee 100% of my learners mastered their multiplication tables at grade level—no exceptions!

And after spending thousands and thousands of hours manipulating the multiplication tables, turning them upside down and inside out, I discovered that there are indeed a handful of extremely simple patterns, formulas and algorithms that, when applied to the multiplication facts, serve as keys for instantly unlocking entire tables at a time—in one fell swoop!

These "pseudo theorems" organize the seemingly arbitrary, isolated products within each table into sets of interrelated numbers, empowering students with the means to automatically generate the answers to virtually all the multiplication facts in less than a flash (figuratively speaking).

As a result, my students no longer needed to struggle with attempting to memorize individual facts one at a time, and this made the learning process fun rather than drudgery, for both them and me alike.

This song summarizes the "algorithm" for the nines table, which is a variation on a "trick" already known to quite a number of educators, which is why I'm willing to post it here rather than keeping it exclusive to a book I'm probably going to self-publish by the end of this year. (The only caveat is you need an introduction the the super-simple concept of "partner digits" as applied in my classroom.)

If direct sunlight does not cause a fire, why does reflected sunlight do it?

Reflected sunlight can lead to fires due to the concentration of solar energy on flammable materials. While direct sunlight itself does not ignite materials, when combined with reflective surfaces like mirrors, it can create intense heat that causes combustion. Understanding this mechanism is crucial for preventing fires caused by sunlight.

Reflection Focus

Reflected sunlight can be dangerous because mirrors can focus the sun's rays to create a hot spot that ignites flammable materials. The sun's rays are very powerful and can focus through a mirror to create a hot spot that can ignite flammable materials. This concentrated energy can pose a significant risk, particularly when mirrors are positioned to receive direct sunlight.

Increased Risk on Hot Days

The likelihood of fires caused by reflected sunlight increases on hotter days. The hotter the day, the more likely it is that a mirror will focus the sun's rays and cause a fire. High temperatures amplify the potential for mirrors to intensify sunlight, leading to hazardous conditions, especially in homes or spaces with combustible items nearby.

Flammable Materials

When sunlight is reflected onto materials such as curtains, paper, or furniture, these items can catch fire due to the heat generated by focused rays. Mirrors can create conditions where sunlight is directed onto these materials, causing a fire hazard when proper precautions are not taken.

Preventing Fire Risks

Preventive measures are crucial in managing the risks associated with mirrors and reflected sunlight. To prevent fires, it's important to avoid placing mirrors near windows. Keeping mirrors covered when the sun is shining or using window blinds or curtains can significantly reduce the fire risk.

Curved Mirrors

Not all mirrors have the same potential to cause fires. Curved mirrors, in particular, have the ability to concentrate sunlight effectively. Not on a flat mirror. If curved, it can concentrate the sun's energy and raise temperature to cause a fire. This means that where and how mirrors are used plays a critical role in fire safety.

By understanding the potential dangers of reflected sunlight and implementing preventive strategies, individuals can protect their homes and reduce the risk of fire.


Is there any kind of contraption designed to capture sunlight and reflect it in a manner sufficient to start a campfire?

Yes, there are several contraptions designed to capture sunlight and reflect it effectively to start a campfire. These devices utilize mirrors or lenses to concentrate sunlight, creating enough heat to ignite tinder or other flammable materials.

1. Reflective Mirrors

One method of starting a campfire using sunlight is through the use of a highly reflective mirror-like surface. Such surfaces reflect the rays of firelight and radiant heat, which can enhance the efficiency of capturing sunlight and facilitate fire-starting. For example, devices like solar lighters utilize burning mirrors to concentrate sunlight effectively for immediate ignition.

2. Solar Fire Starters

Solar fire starters are specifically designed tools that can utilize solar energy to ignite fires. Many of these devices require no additional fuel, maintenance, or re-fueling and can be stored indefinitely, making them ideal for outdoor activities such as camping and hiking. They work by focusing sunlight onto a small area until enough heat is generated to ignite tinder.

3. Fresnel Lenses

Fresnel lenses serve as a practical option for solar ignition. These lenses can focus sunlight to a specific point on tinder, achieving the necessary intensity to generate heat and start a fire. The mechanism involves positioning the lens between the sun and the tinder to create a concentrated dot of light that initiates the combustion process. A credit card size Fresnel lens, described as a fire-starting magnifying glass, is compact and portable, making it a favorable choice for fire-starting needs.

4. Parabolic Mirrors

Parabolic mirrors are another effective contraption for capturing and reflecting sunlight. These mirrors are designed to focus sunlight onto a specific point, generating enough heat to ignite tinder. They can be combined with various materials to enhance their effectiveness for fire-lighting.

5. DIY Options and Adaptability

In addition to commercially available products, individuals can also create DIY heat reflectors using materials like aluminum to direct heat back towards a fire. These mirrors or reflectors are helpful for maintaining heat and can be constructed easily with surroundings available in camping environments.

In summary, a variety of tools and methods, including reflective mirrors, solar starters, Fresnel lenses, and DIY solutions, are available to effectively capture sunlight and facilitate the ignition of campfires.
