If you are not already, fill out the paperwork to incorporate the club under 501(c)3 non-profit paperwork status.
Request grants from local and national businesses
Our club regularly receives such money in the $1000-$5000 range from local utilities, national cellular providers, large box discount chain stores and grocery stores
These types of businesses have ready-made grant requests - sometimes right on their websites They are looking to give their money away You do need to meet their criteria... usually to be a 501(c)3 not for profit and provide community service.
The answer to your problem is called the Rolling Shutter Effect.
You can simply make ALLl the lights in the cabin strobe at a frequency close to the rolling shutter speed of the cameras most people have. Or at 2, 3, 4, or more times that speed.
Much like old TVs digital cameras take pictures in strips. by picking the right frequency you can cause bands of lightness and darkness in the image, ruining the photo.
You can then choose a camera which is less or not susceptible or synced with the strobe effect to mitigate its effects.
The strobe would be rapid enough to go unnoticed by the human eye and really mess with electronic cameras.
But there are cameras that some people have that may not be effected by it, but most cameras have some issues with it, so your mileage will vary
I read somewhere (I wish I could find it now) That if you were to accelerate at a constant 1G - The time dilation would allow you to visit the known visible universe within a human lifespan.(Well for the traveler anyway) - I really wish I could remember where this came from, I would really like to know if it was true or just something out of someone's ass.
No...
Fullerenes can occur naturally in soot, like lamp or carbon black. Though it is true that certain fullerenes are unlikely to occur in nature, varieties of fullerenes most certainly exist in nature. The real cool man-made stuff are the perfect fullerenes and the ones made with certain atoms traped inside like gold to change some of the material's properties, but remember fullerenes just mean molecular balls of carbon. Unless you think it must be buckminsterfullerene (C60) or Icosahedral fullerene (C540)... But if you just say fullerene then it encompasses all sorts of varieties of balls of carbon
It works in the US too.... but you're missing the point.
You see everything is already copy-righted. You write a book, you own it. The idea of mailing it to yourself is that you have a copy of it in a sealed container dated by the government to prove you are the one who made it before someone else did.
The transparency of the Antarctic atmosphere allows stars to be observed, even when the Sun is at an elevation angle of 38` which is the highest possible elevation of the Sun and can only be reached at midday in December.

What is amazing isn't that the flute doesn't make an annoying shrill, but that it's scale is similar to ours.
Beyond us having 12 tones in a scale, the temperament. Simply, the spacing in pitch between the tones.
Even in modern tones we have many examples of different tuning and different scales.
The most common scale and temperament people today recognize is the 12 tones in equal temperament (12-TET). That is the notes are divided equally into 12 steps between the fundamental frequency and its second harmonic. This isn't true for other temperaments. In Equal Temperament it A# and Bb are the same note. That isn't always true for other temperaments. There are pianos made with a split key there, because if you play the wrong one in the wrong musical key it sounds awful or even makes a wolf-tone (what you may call a shrill).
Add to that little bit in western music, modern eastern musical scales and tuning can be vastly different than what we use commonly.
Similar musical tuning and scales implies (doesn't prove) similar harmony and musical constructs.
The music played on that flute may have been more similar to modern western music than Japanese, Arab, Chinese, Aboriginal or Indian music based on its design.
My computers are on timers... The OS shuts them off before the timer does... then I have to use a timer since the bios doesn't have a wake at time feature... But I set them to power on after power failure.
I put a lot of things on timers now. I just wonder if I am actually wasting electricity putting a CFLs and particularly LED lights on a timer, suspect on the lower wattage ones the timer and the light may be about the same. But with lighting I just want it on without thinking about it.
But basically it's a 37% difference in kWh.
I did this after switching to the 3 tier time-of-use plan and last year's bill was $80.69 and this years was $36.20 for a 45% savings.
And no I'm not an environmentalist, I'm just so cheap I squeeze a quarter 'til the eagle screams

In some parts of the United States, actual police officers can be hired privately in their off time to work as security guards. In many cases they are allowed to wear their official uniform. -Police officers in such places may never truly be considered "off-duty". In some municipalities, police officers may be required to carry their weapons in circumstances even when they aren't on the tax payers' clock.
Doesn't the tendency of an event recurring increase with the passage of time?
No, the likelihood of an event happening stays the same. If an event has a 1/100 chance of happening in a year, it still has a 1/100 chance of happening this year, which ever year this is.
Standby power uses about 0.5-4 watts. Not ideal, but that's pretty small.
Not Ideal is right... Add the power supply for the monitor's soft power button, The Bricks for The Speakers, Printer, Router.. The fact I have more than one computer (3)... a few misc. things too and all of sudden it's close to 150 watts when not in use.
My motherboard does nothing to kill the phantom loads of peripherals.
That's the beauty of a 2 kW appliance timer. All that crap is really off.
Yes after doing this to not only the computer, but the LCD TV and other things in the house using appliance timers I did indeed save 70%, yeah **** 70%! Not exaggerating. This is the real deal. Shut the crap off and you do save a lot. Noticeable on the First bill after doing it. $75 electricity down to $20. It is indeed worth doing. Stand-by never gave me any noticeable savings on my bill. Shutting the stuff off off off saved me far beyond my expectations.

thats $1000-$5000 each

Well if the dollar keeps falling...
Thanks... You know some of us have to live in Wisconsin.
What exactly is a manual bill?
Why do we have this horrible cypher?
Because of the written part of our language.

I hate it when crap disappears. I like having the consistency of knowing what the hell is going on.
I don't mind any changes as long as I have the option to put them the way I like them.

Isn't that what MODERATION is for?
Oops bad mod - sorry
What fraction of a Megagrade is that?
Ivory soap... 99.44% actual Soap. It's written on the packages and has been on their commercials for decades
Wait a minute! Some of those are diphthongs!!

Timers make all the difference.
Last year my home used 622 kWh for the June bill.
This year June was down to 392 kWh!
I haven't noticed a thing.
