Q: Referring to Class instantiater in javascript I have this method of a JavaScript class that I've created:
resetRule() {
  let sheetRules = Array.from(this.sheet.rules);
  sheetRules.forEach(function(node, i) {
    if(node.name != undefined) {
      newRule.sheet.deleteRule(i);
    }
  });
}

when you instantiate a class, it essentially has to be set to a variable, like so:
const newRule = new NewRule(*params*);

and the methods/properties of said class can refer to the class object using this. like so:
this.method();
this.property;

What I'd like to know is: how does one refer back to the variable that instantiated the class within a function that is called by a method of said class?
To be even clearer: a function that is called within a method of a class alters the scope, which also means it alters the definition of this.. My question is: how do you get around this? How could you access the variable that instantiated the class when you are out the of scope of the methods within said class?

As I was composing this question, I realized that you can set the this value for a .forEach loop like this:
resetRule() {
  let sheetRules = Array.from(this.sheet.rules);
  sheetRules.forEach(function(node, i) {
    if(node.name != undefined) {
      this.sheet.deleteRule(i);
    }
  }, this);
}

However, the way this code works is something that--as far as I know--is just a benefit of the .forEach method, and I'd still like to know how it should be handled in general.

A: Hopefully this should help you out, using your example.

class Rule {
  constructor(rules) {
    this.sheet = {
      rules: rules || []
    }
  }

  log(){
    console.log('rules:',this.sheet.rules)
  }

  resetRule() {
    let sheetRules = Array.from(this.sheet.rules);
    let self = this;       // <-- here you can capture the instance

    sheetRules.forEach(function(node, i) {
      self.log()           // <-- here you can use it in forEach
      if (node.name != undefined)
        this.sheet.deleteRule(i);
    });
  }
}
const fooRule = new Rule(['foo'])
const barRule = new Rule(['bar'])

fooRule.resetRule()
barRule.resetRule()

fooRule.log()
barRule.log()

Your forEach works because as you discovered, you passed this as an argument for the thisArg parameter.  However, if you didn't, you could have just as easily set it to a variable in the outer scope and used it in the block scope.
Generally creating a variable called self or that and setting it to this is helpful, especially for arrow functions, which set this to the encapsulating scope and not the instance object.

A: If I've not misunderstood you're looking for a way to retain your scope? You have a few options here.
The immediate answers would be to use Function.prototype.bind() or Function.prototype.call() to specify the context of this when invoking those methods.
Alternatively you could just make the scope of your this available where needed:
var MyClass = function () {
    // Here we bind the local scope to a variable that will give us context where necessary.
    // While it's not needed here, it can give context and set a pattern of reability through repitition.
    var vm = this;

    vm.methodA = function () {
        // We continue to set our 'vm' pointer variable when needed.
        var vm = this;

        globalMethod.then(function () {
            // We're able to retain context of our `this` through having scope of our 'vm' variable.
            vm.methodB();
        });
    };

    vm.methodB = function () {
        console.log('I did stuff!');
    };
};

A: You could make a temporary variable called self or something which would allow you to use both the object containing "this" instance as well as within that anonymous function passed to forEach, this which will refer to sheetRules when you don't specify another variable to use as this
resetRule() {
  let sheetRules = Array.from(this.sheet.rules);
  let self = this;
  sheetRules.forEach(function(node, i) {
    if(node.name != undefined) {
    self.sheet.deleteRule(i);
    }
  });
}

Poverty and wealth then. Most of the New York guides concentrated on the latter, this book the former, or at least attempts to break the poverty, racism – including restrictive employment practices, red-baiting, union-busting and environmental damage on which the wealth is built. In any one chapter you can find details of union struggles, anti-war activism, socialist bookshops, Black self-organisation from the nineteenth, twentieth and early in this century.
Over all, however, is the blight of gentrification. One of the flats rented by the anarchist Emma Goldman was recently on the market for $4000 a month while the Black gay poet Langston Hughes' old house in Harlem would set you back a million. The writer suggests that if you want to visit Revolution Books, the best radical bookshop in New York, you check its website first as it has moved so many times, most recently from Chelsea to Harlem, as it has been priced out of premises after premises.
The section on Brooklyn Bridge remembers how many men died in its construction and the terrible illnesses the underwater workers suffered. The Bridge has become a way of snarling up the city and over 700 Occupy marchers were arrested there. At least some aspects of New York's radical past continue.
This is a great book to dip into, full of interesting snippets of labour history, though an index would have been a great help.

Florida residents who have been impacted by a natural disaster may experience a variety of emotions. They could also have to deal with the financial fallout from a hurricane, flood or earthquake. In some cases, disaster victims spend hundreds of dollars per day to pay for food, lodging and other needs while away from home. This can be on top of insurance deductibles and missed time at work.
Individuals who are impacted by a natural disaster could be eligible for financial and other types of aid. Grants and low-interest loans can help a person recover quickly without fully depleting their savings. Credit card companies may be understanding in situations when a person runs up a large debt because of disaster expenses. While it could take several attempts to get necessary relief, this money can ultimately help cover finances in a time of need.
Enrolling in debt management plans or applying for debt consolidation loans may help those who accumulate debt after a disaster. Typically, these strategies allow a debtor to lower the interest rate paid on debts. Filing for bankruptcy is one alternative for those who simply cannot afford to pay down their debt balances in a timely manner.
Some debtors could find financial relief by filing for bankruptcy. Bankruptcy provides the opportunity to eliminate unsecured debts such as credit card or medical debts that may arise after a natural disaster. An lawyer could explain what type of bankruptcy an individual might want to file for. In a Chapter 13 case, debts are generally reorganized and repaid over a period of three or five years. Remaining balances may be discharged after the repayment period runs out.

Building a home on Mars … with bacteria?
Imagine a home on Mars. Is it filled with bacteria?
When we send humans to Mars, they'll need places to live. In a new study, a team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in collaboration with India's space agency the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), suggest a new method to use bacteria to build these Martian habitats.
In this method, the team shows how "space bricks" for building a habitat on the Red Planet could be made with a combination of local Martian soil, bacteria and urea, a waste compound eliminated through urine by mammals.
Related: Newly discovered bacteria on space station could help astronauts grow plants on Mars

To make these Red Planet "space bricks," the team mixed together a "slurry" of simulated Martian soil made out of guar gum, which is a product of processed guar beans, combined with urea, the chemical nickel chloride and the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii. This mixture is blended together and can be poured into molds of any shape.
Previously, this team had tried to make "space bricks" with simulated lunar soil, but they were only able to make cylinder-shaped bricks, whereas, with their new Martian method in which they harden a "slurry" mix in a mold, they can make bricks of any shape, according to a statement.
After a few days in the mold, a chemical reaction transforms the "slurry" into a solid "space brick." Within the mixture, the bacteria and urea interact, causing the urea to crystallize and form crystals of calcium carbonate, a chemical compound that is often taken as a nutritional calcium supplement but which also makes up biological structures like shellfish skeletons and eggshells. The crystals come together with biopolymers, which are natural polymers produced by the bacteria, and the combination forms a sort of cement that holds the particles of the simulated Martian soil together.
The team added the nickel chloride to the mixture after determining that the compound made it easier for the bacteria to grow in the "soil" mixture.
"Martian soil contains a lot of iron, which causes toxicity to organisms," co-author Aloke Kumas, an associate professor in the department of mechanical engineering at IISc, said in a statement. "In the beginning, our bacteria did not grow at all. Adding nickel chloride was the key step in making the soil hospitable to the bacteria."
With the new method, the team was able to successfully make "space bricks," but the researchers still have a lot of testing to do before such a technique is used on the Red Planet. The scientists plan to study how the bricks would respond to the Martian environment, particularly the planet's very thin, primarily carbon dioxide atmosphere, as well as the much reduced gravity.
According to the statement, the team plans to test their bricks in a device called the Martian Atmosphere Simulator (MARS), that the researchers have said will recreate Martian atmospheric conditions in a controlled laboratory setting. The team has additionally developed a microchip device to measure and study bacterial activity in space, according to the same statement.
One concern that this study doesn't address is planetary protection, the concern of contaminating the Earth. Scientists have to ensure that spacecraft missions will not carry any unintended bacteria or other contaminants that could cloud scientific findings or damage the world itself. (Planetary protection likewise requires measures to prevent a spacecraft bringing anything unintended back home to Earth.)
It is yet to be seen how a method like the one described in this study might work within planetary protection guidelines, which are especially stringent on Mars, where spacecraft like NASA's Perseverance rover are actively looking for evidence of past microscopic life.
This work is described in a study published April 14 in the journal PLOS One.

Embedded Domain Specific Languages are a powerful tool for developing customized languages to fit specific problem domains.
Shallow EDSLs allow a programmer to program using many of the features of a host language and its syntax, but sacrifice performance. Deep EDSLs provide better performance and flexibility, through the ability to manipulate the abstract syntax tree of the DSL program, but sacrifice syntactical similarity to the host language. Using Haskino, an EDSL designed for small embedded systems based on the Arduino line of microcontrollers, and a compiler plugin for the Haskell GHC compiler, we show a method for combining the best aspects of shallow and deep EDSLs. The programmer is able to write in the shallow EDSL, and have it automatically transformed into the deep EDSL. This allows the EDSL user to benefit from powerful aspects of the host language, Haskell, while meeting the demanding resource constraints of the small embedded processing environment.

Exploring the cosmic connection between Chicago jazz label International Anthem and London's Total Refreshment Centre
Part of the sprawling EFG London Jazz Festival's 30th anniversary, a recent showcase at the Barbican Centre celebrated the work of Chicago label International Anthem and London venue Total Refreshment Centre in building boundary-pushing artistic connections. Sam Walton learns the story of this link up, and speaks to those involved about its resonance
Monday, January 23, 2023 - 13:32
Just after 11 PM on the first Saturday of the EFG London Jazz Festival, capping off the Chicago x London evening of experimental improvised music, 17 musicians shuffle onto the stage at the Barbican Centre. They begin playing together in loose unison, grooving in and out of a riff on saxophones and sousaphones, trumpets and drum kits, clarinets, guitars and pianos. All have already played at some point earlier in the night, as part of a parade of smaller groups, but now they've thrown themselves together after curfew for one last blast, half in celebration and half in a spirit of joyful investigation. Before tonight, the assembled troupe have never all been in the same room, let alone played together, and consequently there's a first-date vibe to some of the interactions on display — all nervously excited glances and mutual encouragement, as they collectively pan for musical chemistry.
These aren't just randomly compiled musicians on a disparate festival line-up. Everyone on stage is united by their association with Chicago-based, boundary-pushing jazz label International Anthem, and accordingly by a common spirit. As the players put flesh on the bones of a tune by fellow International Anthem signee Jaime Branch — the maverick trumpeter who died last summer, aged 39 — there's a real sense of the imprint's manifesto being presented. The players' temperaments are as important as their chops; the emphasis is on listening and responding, and building something together. Indeed, this impromptu moment, combined with earlier sets by the bands of Alabaster dePlume, Ben LaMar Gay and Angel Bat Dawid, and the opening half-hour from guitarist Jeff Parker, leaves as strong an impression as any of International Anthem. Like Warp or Factory Records, the label's personality is even more distinctive than its sound — something that fosters immense goodwill towards its artists, and renders the logo on the back of the sleeves as important as the names on the front.
That this is all happening in the rarefied surroundings of the Barbican, in front of 2,000 people, should be a moment to savour for the label, a marker of how far it's come since putting out drummer Makaya McCraven's first album proper in 2015. Not that co-founder Scottie McNiece is feeling too self-congratulatory: "The night was a celebration of a continuation," he qualifies after the show, "rather than just a celebration of an achievement."
And he has a point. After all, tonight isn't his label's first rodeo. As well as putting out records, International Anthem has become known for bringing together like-minded musicians from cities outside its own (most often London), and providing them with a space, both physically and creatively, to play. Tonight's Barbican jamboree is just the latest and largest iteration of that concept, the plumpest fruit harvested so far from seeds that were planted five years ago somewhere a little humbler.
Angel Bat Dawid by Ash Knotek
The Total Refreshment Centre — TRC to those who know — is about a half-hour ride on the 76 bus from the Barbican, but an ocean away in spirit. Situated on a grubby side road off Stoke Newington High Street and converted from a Jamaican social club that had petered out in the noughties, it comprises a bunch of recording studios and rehearsal rooms, as well as a live performance space. Over the past decade, it's become a hub for music obsessives to hang out, practise, and listen, particularly those in the London jazz scene that started booming in the middle of the last decade.
"It was actually more post-punk to start with," recalls Lex Blondin, the Paris-born adopted Londoner and founder of TRC, "but then all these people who've blown up now — Joe Armon-Jones, Nubya Garcia, Theon Cross — started coming in around 2017, when they were really young, and it blew my mind. I loved the music, and now we had young cats doing it and being really passionate, and it was cool because we were able to put these musicians in front of people who wouldn't necessarily think of going to a jazz gig."
Around the same time, the young International Anthem was looking to spread its wings, and a series of fortuitous connections led the label to this most local of local haunts. "We did a thing in New York in 2016," remembers McNiece of the label's initial forays beyond the Windy City, lounging on the sofas at TRC as he talks, "and realised that when we did shows outside of Chicago, they felt like a bigger deal. I'd just gotten to know [British jazz DJ and broadcaster] Tina Edwards, and I started to think that maybe London was the place we could do the next showcase. She recommended TRC, so I went to the website and was like, 'Man, this place looks fucking awesome'. Lex seemed super cool, too, so we tried it."
"They came over from Chicago," Blondin remembers of his first encounter with the International Anthem crew, "and what they did was super inspiring for us: no promoter, especially from abroad, comes over and does two nights in a row, bringing their musicians and collaborating with the local ones."
While impressive to Blondin, though, it turns out that necessity was the mother of that particular collab. "That's nice of Lex to say, but the truth is we couldn't really afford to bring everyone's whole bands over," admits McNiece, "so we ended up forming these collaborative bands when we got there, where Makaya [McCraven] played with Theon Cross and Nubya Garcia and Soweto Kinch and Kamaal Williams, and the whole thing just created a lot of relationships. It could've been a disaster, but it turned out just awesome."
With mutual admiration blooming, McNiece and Blondin arranged for a second round of London gigs at TRC, with McNiece hosting TRC's burgeoning crew of young UK jazzers in Chicago in between.

"That second International Anthem weekend at TRC — Chicago x London, they were calling it by then — was double-booked in the same space as one of my gigs," explains saxophonist Alabaster dePlume, who had started renting a studio at TRC a couple of months earlier, after moving down from his native Manchester to pursue music full time. As a then relative unknown, realising he had to give way to the bigger attraction, dePlume had a moment of clarity. "When you're double booked, you've got the option of being angry about it, but I decided to be glad," he explains. "I didn't know why at the time, but now I see that it connected me with International Anthem, and now I'm part of that community. That double-booking changed my life completely."
Now, dePlume is perhaps the hottest act on International Anthem's roster, topping the Barbican bill and attracting attention from an audience much broader than just jazz heads. It's something that TRC's Blondin feels justifiably proud of. "For us," he says, beaming like a successful matchmaker, "a real win is seeing someone like Alabaster, who did a residency every month at TRC five years ago, with less than 100 people each time, slowly growing into the artist that he is now, headlining the Barbican, selling out the show."
dePlume himself is somewhat more bashful about the scale of the gig, though. "It's a beautiful honour to feel accepted here," he acknowledges, a couple of hours before taking the stage, "but when you're driving a car, you shouldn't look at the car — you should look at where you're really going! I could focus on this show, but I feel like it's a part of the car. I feel like International Anthem recognises what I'm really doing, though".
And what exactly is dePlume really doing, anyway? After all, the sort of music he makes — billowy semi-improv cosmic jazz that seems to mutate depending on the personnel, where records are just tasters for what may unfold on stage — feels slightly more hopeful and far-reaching than your standard jamming jazzers.
"The work we are doing," he starts, earnestly, with emphasis on the 'we', "is a part of work being done globally that will emancipate and unify people for centuries, and will be a part of the survival of the human race." DJ Mag raises an eyebrow. "Yes, of course that's a really big ambition for an independent jazz label, but we are just a part of it, and it's only centuries in the future that this will make a difference."
He pauses to replay what he just said in his head, adding, "There will be some people reading for whom this is too high over their heads. I'm sorry I don't have something right now that's more in their language — I have been drinking a lot of coffee."
Alabaster dePlume by Ash Knotek
For McNiece, however, the work is more straightforward, to the extent that it's printed on every International Anthem release. "If you have any of our records," he explains, "our mission statement is on the back of the OBI strip, and we still think about it every day." That statement emphasises positive change and the importance of unique music, a commitment to offering "appealing packages to untapped audiences", and putting on boundary-defying cultural events. If tonight is anything to go by — and indeed, the Chicago x London relationship that's been built to date — his label is right on track.
McNiece cautiously agrees: "I guess when you have strong intentions, and you know what your mission is, you can't sweat the way things come together. But yes, a lot of it has worked out so far. A lot of it is serendipity, but serendipity is made possible by everyone having a really strong overarching sense of what we're trying to do. "Initially, that was all folks in Chicago," he continues, "but when we started travelling around, it was still about making real human connections. All our artists are constantly touring the world, meeting people and playing with them, so we just follow them and see who they're vibing with."
Less about the recorded music, then, and more about the relationships, wherever in the world they may be? "I think as long as you have people who connect, have something to say, are honest, and make you feel something on stage, then it's quite likely that it'll work out," McNiece agrees. "The specifics are malleable regarding the sound and where and how the things happen. As long as the intention is there, it's all good."
DePlume, ever the starry-eyed poet, perhaps sums it up best: "The tunes we play are like the snacks and drinks at a party," he begins. "But the main thing at a party is the people and the interactions. What I mean is that it's always nice to have snacks — but they should never take priority over the vibe."
What he's too modest to mention is that when the snacks are this delicious, it's easy to enjoy everything else.

Rob Kardashian is livid at Blac Chyna for putting 1-year-old Dream in harm's way over the weekend at Six Flags ... so he's taking her back to family court, and this one's gonna hurt.
Sources connected to Rob say he has been watching Blac Chyna's antics in horror for months and is increasingly worried for his daughter's health and safety. The last straw was turning Dream's stroller into a weapon as she attacked a woman who dared to touch the kid.
We're told Rob and his lawyers will file legal docs asking for a hearing to set clear rules for Blac Chyna ... what she can and cannot do when the child is present.
On that subject, Rob is also concerned Chyna is bringing new men -- the latest of which is her 18-year-old bf, YBN Almighty Jay -- into her home when the child is present. He wants an order similar to the one in the Jesse Williams custody case ... where neither parent can introduce a boyfriend or girlfriend to the child unless the relationship lasts longer than 6 months.
And then there's the issue of money. Rob is currently paying Chyna $20,000 a month in child support, which he thinks is ridiculous for several reasons. First, they have 50/50 joint custody so the monthly paying is absurd. More to the point, she makes way more than him. In fact, his earning power has been reduced to zero since he was banned from Instagram -- the platform that fueled his online business.
We're told Rob will be going to court any day asking for a massive reduction in child support.


Lesson 21 marks the beginning of Level 2b of Coffee Break French. In this week's lesson we look at two tiny pronouns which can cause some confusion for French learners: y and en. Please note that lesson 21 of Season 2 was originally known as lesson 61 of Coffee Break French. We have renumbered the lessons of each season as lessons 1-40 to make things more simple for our listeners.
In the exercise notes, for question 12, the answer is "Je vais en emmener." My original quess was "J'en vais emmener." Is that an acceptable answer or is it just wrong.
Hello, I'm French and "J'en vais emmener" is not correct. Good luck with the rest of your study!
just found you guys think its fantastic thankyou!
are "y" and "en" similar to "hi" and "en" in catalan language?
I noticed that in most of the examples, these words could be translated into "hi" and "en" in catalan , but not sure if they mean exactly the same.
english:Are you going to the bank today? No, I'm going(there)tomorrow.
french: Tu vas à la banque aujourd'hui ? Non, j'y vais demain.
catalan: Tu vas al banc avui ? No, jo hi vaig dema.
english: I'd like two books. I'd like two (of them).
french: Je voudrais deux livres. J'en voudrais deux.
catalan: Jo voldria dos llibres. Jo en voldria dos.

Q: Is it bad practice to have a class that requires a reference to the instantiating object? I saw this in someone's code and thought wow, that's an elegant way to solve this particular problem, but it probably violates good OO principles in an epic way.
In the constructor for a set of classes that are all derived from a common base class, he requires a reference to the instancing class to be passed.  For example,
    Foo Foo_i = new(this);
Then later on Foo would call methods in the instancing class to get information about itself and the other objects contained by the instancing class.
On the one hand, this simplifies a TON of code that models a 5-layer tree structure in hardware (agents plugged into ports on multiple switches, etc).  On the other hand, these objects are pretty tightly coupled to each other in a way that seems pretty wrong, but I don't know enough about OOA&D to put my finger on it.
So, is this okay?  Or is this the OO equivalent to a goto statement?

A: You shoud try to avoid mutual references (especially when implemeting containment) but oftentimes they are impossible to avoid. I.e. parent child relationship - children often need to know the parent and notify it if some events happen. If you really need to do that - opt for interfaces (or abstract classes in case of C++).
So you instancing class should implement some interface, and the instanciated class should know it only as interface - this will sigificantly reduce coupling. In some respect this approach is similar to nested listener class as it exposes only part of the class, but it is easier to maintain. Here is little C# example:
interface IParent
{
    //some methods here
}

class Child
{
    // child will know parent (instancing class) as interface only
    private readonly IParent parent_;
    public Child(IParent parent)
    {
        parent_ = parent;
    }
}

class Parent : IParent
{
    // IParent implementation and other methods here
}

A: This sounds like it could be violating the Law of Demeter, depending on how much Foo needs to know to fish around in the instancing class.  Objects should preferably be loosely coupled.  You'd rather not have one class need to know a lot about the structure of another class.  One example I've heard a few times is that you wouldn't hand your wallet over to a store clerk and let him fish around inside.  Your wallet is your business, and you'll find what you need to give the clerk and hand it over yourself.  You can reorganize your wallet and nobody will be the wiser.  Looser coupling makes testing easier.  Foo should ideally be testable without needing to maintain a complex context.

A: I try and avoid this if I can just from an information hiding point of view. The less information a class has or needs the easier it is to test and verify. That being said, it does lead to more elegant solutions in some cases so if not doing it is horribly convoluted involving an awful lot of parameter passing then by all means go for it.
Java for example uses this a lot with inner classes:
public class Outer {
  private class Inner {
    public Inner() {
      // has access to the members of Outer for the instance that instantiated it
    }
  }
}

A: In Java, I remember avoiding this once by subclassing certain Listeners and Adapters in my controller and adding those listeners and adapters to my subclasses.
In other words my controller was
class p {

  private member x

  private methods

  private class q {
    // methods referencing p's private members and methods
  }

  x.setListener(new q());

}

I think this is more loosely coupled, but I would also like some confirmation.

A: This design pattern can make a lot of sense in some situations. For example, iterators are always associated with a specific collection, so it makes sense for the iterator's constructor to require a collection.
You didn't provide a concrete example, but if the class reminds you of goto, it probably is a bad idea.
You said the new object must interrogate the instantiating object for information. Perhaps the class makes too many assumptions about its environment? If those assumptions complicate unit testing, debugging, or (non-hypothetical) code reuse, then you should consider refactoring.
But if the design saves developer time overall and you don't expect an unmaintainable beast in two years' time, the practice is completely acceptable from a practical standpoint.

Lay Leadership Ministries
Because St. Augustine Church belongs to the Deanery that includes St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Berkeley, and its School School of the Madeleine, the children of St. Augustine parishioners have access to an excellent K-8 Catholic education at the School of the Madeleine.
The mission of the School of the Madeleine is to inspire students to grow as educated, morally informed individuals. In the tradition of Catholic education we believe that every child is exceptional, and our goal is to help students grow into lifelong learners and compassionate leaders.
The Madeleine is known for outstanding academics, including in-school Spanish and Music programs, all in the context of a Catholic education. The Madeleine is also proud of its wonderful after-school program which runs until 6:00 p.m. daily. In addition to supervised care and homework time, many after-school activities, including drama, band, and chess club, are available. The school has a wonderful and active parent community.
The School extends admission to children of members of St. Augustine Parish ahead of admission to children of non-parishioners of St. Mary Magdalen's. St. Augustine parishioners pay "in-parish" tuition instead of non-parish tuition – about a 12% savings!
To learn more about the School of the Madeleine, please visit www.themadeleine.com.
If you wish to speak to St. Augustine parishioners whose children attend the Madeleine, please contact the St. Augustine Parish Office (510) 653-8631 or St. Augustine Parish for a referral. If you would like further information about admissions, please contact Mary Schweska, registrar of the Madeleine, or Conan Graham, Vice Principal. Or, simply watch the video below.

Q: Value of $\int\tan^{-1}(x)\,dx$ What is the value of $\int^{1000}_{0}\tan^{-1}(x)\,\mathrm d x$?
Today we were taught about graphs of all trigonometric inverse functions.  So my proofessor split it into $0-\tan(1)$ and $\tan(1)-1000$ and got the answer as $1000-\tan(1)$, but it was taught to us not in integration but in graphs and functions.
So my question is whether we have any way if we don't know the exact graphs.

A: Hint: $$\int \arctan x \  dx = \int x^0 \arctan x \ dx $$
Now use by parts formula
$$\int f(x) g(x) \,dx = f(x)\int g(x)\,dx - \int \left(f'(x) \int g(x)\,dx \right) dx$$
using $f(x) = \arctan x$ (and $g(x) = x^0$)

A: As almagest commented, there is something strange.
Consider $$I=\int\tan^{-1}(x)\, dx$$ Integrate by parts $$u=\tan^{-1}(x)\implies u'=\frac 1{1+x^2}\qquad , \qquad v'=dx\implies v=x$$ So $$I=x\tan^{-1}(x)-\int\frac x {1+x^2} dx=x \tan ^{-1}(x)-\frac{1}{2} \log \left(x^2+1\right)$$ So, using the bounds $$\int^{1000}_{0}\tan^{-1}(x)\ d x=1000 \tan ^{-1}(1000)-\frac{\log (1000001)}{2}\approx 1562.89$$
For an estimation of $\tan^{-1}(x)$ when $x$ is large, you could use the relation $$\tan^{-1}(x)+\tan^{-1}(\frac 1x)=\frac \pi 2$$ which gives, for large $x$ $$\tan^{-1}(x)=\frac{\pi }{2}-\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{3 x^3}+O\left(\frac{1}{x^4}\right)$$

A: \begin{align}
\int \arctan x \, dx & = \overbrace{\int u \, dx = ux - \int x\,du}^\text{integration by parts} \\[10pt]
& = x\arctan x - \int x\, \frac{dx}{1+x^2} \\[10pt]
& = x\arctan x - \frac 1 2 \int \frac 1 {1+x^2} \Big(2x\,dx\Big) \\[10pt]
& = x\arctan x - \frac 1 2 \int \frac 1 w \, dw \\[10pt]
& = x\arctan x - \frac 1 2 \log |w| + C \\[10pt]
& = x\arctan x - \frac 1 2 \log(1+x^2) + C.
\end{align}
Now you can plug in $0$ (and get $0$) and $1000$, and realize that $\arctan1000\approx\dfrac \pi 2$.

A: Hint: $$\left(x \tan^{-1}x \right)'=\tan^{-1} x+\frac{x}{1+x^2}$$

Avalanches Kill 70 More People in Pakistan and Afghanistan
by Leona Burton
in World Media
Levies officials said that more than 500 passengers were stranded in Kan Mehtarzai area of Killa Saifullah district, where temperatures dipped to as low as -14°C while heavy snowfall and strong winds nearly buried cars on the main National Highway.
At least 75 people died and 64 were injured across Pakistan, with several still missing, while a further 39 people were killed in Afghanistan, according to officials in both countries.
On Monday, the media reports said at least 14 people, including women and children, were killed and over a dozen injured in several parts of Balochistan, Pakistan's largest province.
Avalanches, flooding and harsh winter weather has killed more than 130 people across Pakistan and Afghanistan in recent days, officials said on Tuesday, as authorities struggled to reach people stranded by heavy snowfall.
"I have asked the National Disaster Management Authority, the military and all our federal ministers to immediately provide all humanitarian assistance on an emergency footing to the affected people in AJK", Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan tweeted.
More news: 9,10, 11, 7, 6 . says Guardiola
The disaster management authority declared an emergency in seven districts of the mineral-rich province and sought the army's help for relief and rescue operations.
"An avalanche hit their village, 10 people are still missing", the SDMA said.
Mainly cold and dry weather is expected in most parts of the country tomorrow, with very cold in upper parts and north Balochistan, said the authority in its weekly outlook.
According to The News, 23-inch snowfall was recorded in parts of Chitral district including Lowari Tunnel.
In 2012, an avalanche engulfed a Pakistani army battalion headquarters near the Indian border, killing at least 124 soldiers and 11 civilians.

Key highways connecting Pakistan to neighboring Afghanistan have also been blocked due to heavy snow.
Across the border in Afghanistan, over 300 houses were either destroyed or partially damaged throughout the country, said Ahmad Tamim Azimi, a spokesman for the Natural Disaster Management Authority.
Afghanistan's western province of Herat has also been hit badly.
Harsh weather conditions continue across Pakistan over the last three days, bringing normal life to a halt as road transport and communication remain severely affected.
"We are distributing emergency assistance, including cash to families of the victims", said Azimi, adding that heavy rain and snow have hampered for rescuers.

Huzzah! It is with joyous dancing I inform you all that I did indeed finish that pesky jelly roll quilt this weekend!! After many broken needles, much thread tangling, and plenty of tears & threats of burning the quilt/sewing machine/world if the universe did not work with me, I successfully made a pretty decent blanket! Yay! ^_____^ Hehe!
Aaaaand here's a front & back shot of my kick@$$ quilt!! SO FIERCE.
Hands: my Boo. Adorable dog to the right: my Chloe.
It's not nearly perfect, but I'm quite fond of it. Even though I didn't see the purple/silver combos working with the blue/green/brown combos, the binding I selected seemed to pull the whole sucker together, too!!
See y'all tomorrow for another Treasury Tuesday!
YAY!!!!!! It looks so good Elise! I have to commend you with the fabric you used for the backing. Is that minky?? Minky is so hard to sew with and I would never dream of quilting with it. That's a huge hurdle you accomplished. AWESOME JOB LADY!!!!!

Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop blog has presented to its readers the opportunities of the crypto world with Abra's Bill Barhydt.
Goop, the lifestyle and wellness blog run by Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow, has chosen a strange product to promote. Through a lengthy interview with Abra CEO Bill Barhydt, the portal offers a basic introduction to the crypto space and lightly endorses crypto investments.
Abra is one of the most popular crypto investment apps for mobile users. The coins and tokens are "parked" within a smart contract, and in-app transfers are not secured on the blockchain. Abra is used for trading and allows deposits and withdrawals for a relatively large portfolio of crypto assets.
"The first investment that a newcomer to the crypto space should make is time. It's important to understand some of the basics about how these different cryptocurrencies work. The information landscape in crypto is getting a little easier to navigate, and people are putting a lot of time and energy into trying to make cryptocurrency more accessible. Buy $10 worth of Bitcoin and get comfortable with the process," Barhydt suggested to Goop readers.
While crypto assets have already infiltrated mainstream media, especially after attempts to create a Bitcoin ETF, the Goop article shows yet another vector. However, the suggestion is again to rely on the future appreciation of digital assets.
The piece on Goop also arrives at a time of subdued enthusiasm for crypto. The interview mentions initial coin offerings (ICOs) without going deep into the matter. But ICOs are among the crypto trends that might have died in 2018. Funds raised using the token crowdsale model have frozen up, dropping precipitously since August.
While Bitcoin prices have managed to remain stable at around $6,400, this is mostly due to low trading activity. As for altcoins, each seems to be going its separate way, based on factors such as liquidity, availability on exchanges, and the honesty of the team. Speculation and the availability of trading pairs also affects a coin's market price.

After the poor showing over the weekend with Cleveland in town, perhaps we'll be focusing more on the future in the coming weeks. Of course, the last time I was saying something like that, it was May, and things got better from there, but May also didn't have the Angels going on eight-game winning streaks.
This is basically a repost from last week, but here goes.
In addition to their big signing of lefty outfielder Guillermo Pimentel out of the Dominican, the Mariners have been active in Venezuela again, where they have a reputation of being the best in the business. The big signing was Alexis Parma/Alexy Palma, who fits in the Halman/Almonte mold of being rather big, fast, and a hard-thrower, but lacking the baseball skills to do much more than hit for power. He's probably the second-highest dollar signing we'll see this period (I'm guessing Choi and Kim are third and fourth).
In addition to that, we signed pitchers Julian Alvarado and Daniel [Alejandro Romero] Mata and third baseman Andres Brito [Miguel Fernandez]. The non-bracketed parts are what I've seen the names reported as most often. Mata is the one I know the most about, as he's 6'3, has a 7/3/1993 DOB, and throws in the high-80s. Alvarado is supposedly the better one, but aside from him also being 6'3, I haven't heard much. Brito, the third or fourth biggest hitter signing of the year for us, was supposed to be well-regarded on the Venezuelan market and he's another guy who they think will hit for power. On these three, the Mariners spent about a million total, so they're all six-figure signings. Parma and Mata had experience on the national teams too.
Just because they were fairly high dollar signings, don't expect them in the U.S. right away. Some of the lower end ones still spend a couple of years in one of the summer leagues.
Saunders, who was 7-for-21 this week was disqualified for obvious reasons. Of course, this is good news for the Mariners in 2010, but raises an interesting problem. It seems that the Mariners are getting too left-handed. A team that two years ago only had Ichiro and Ibanez (and technically Broussard) as the only southpaws in the batting order is now getting too left-handed. Huh. That doesn't bode well for Clement, who hit four doubles in a game earlier in the week and would otherwise be a great candidate for a call-up, except that he still lacks a position. Sure, he's getting some reps at first, but he hasn't been behind the plate in months now, and with how Moore has been doing, he might not be getting the chance any time soon.
There was a dearth of strikeouts this week from the better pitchers (see below with Fister), but how about this Justin Thomas guy? One might see weeks like this one and wonder why he isn't in the Mariners bullpen. Well, his command isn't usually this good. For the year, he's running a pitiful 39/31 K/BB in 44.2 innings, but this month it's cleaned up to 14/6, and consequently, he's only allowed a single run this month. That his average against was cut in half compared to May and June probably helped some of that too. He's an easy September call-up if he keeps it up.
Mike Wilson looks to be replacing Saunders on the roster and Josh Wilson (no relation) will be joining soon. Hall, Downs, Wells, and Monzon are all still on the DL. Alex Cintron is now with the Rainiers.
Morrow starting falls under the heading of strange, right? He gave up two runs (one earned) in his start this week, but he had six hits allowed and a 5/4 K/BB in four and two-thirds innings.
Even though the D-Jaxx didn't win anything this week and lost a number of heartbreakers (both pitchers below did well enough to win), I can find something positive to take out of this week as it offers me a rare opportunity to look like I was brilliant. I argued that Limonta was going to have a pretty good month, that June was a deceptively bad month for him given his eye numbers (12/10 K/BB this month, 12/11 in June, compared to 30/14 his first two months). And wouldn't you know it? He's hitting .317/.413/.587 in July, recovering his power stroke and clubbing four dingers. He's still a marginal player, a competent backup at first or in corner outfield positions who can really put the sting on right-handers (.900 OPS overall, including his bad months), but that's a nice player to have around now and then. I would bet that he's a better outfielder than LaHair, it's just a matter of getting his hitting to show up every week.
As far as results went, Hill and Munoz were nearly identical. The main difference was that Hill didn't have that extra run score against him and also threw a wild pitch, and Hill retired the first twelve in order where Munoz topped out at eight. The reason I ultimately pick Hill should be obvious enough: he's a southpaw, he's younger, and he's more consistent. It's also to point out that, following this article, we shouldn't have to worry that much about his service demands anymore, as a few months of stuffing envelopes over at West Point seems to have done the trick for the time being. After all, he's on the cusp right now, and what better recruiting tool than to have this guy in the majors?
Colt Morton went on the DL, having injured himself getting back to the bag on a pickoff attempt. That brought Flaming Bees Fleming Baez back to the Southern League.
In the past ten games, Gillies has only had one that didn't have at least two hits. So it's mostly singles. Whatever. He has a quarter of his season's home run output in that span (the past two games, actually), and he seems to have learned how to put his speed to good use, as through that same ten game span he's six for six on attempts. The only thing that's been off for him of late has been walks. He's 17/9 in his K/BB for this month, but was 18/17 in June and 11/13 in May. He still has one of the best rates in the system, walking every ninth time up or so. A leadoff man who can give you about 70-80 walks a season is pretty good.
After the doubleheader earlier in the week, Hensley will go down with an extra inning pitched and a "complete game", but Hume, I find more interesting because he struck out nearly half the batters he faced. Like a lot of the mid-tier starters we have in the org, I feel like I talk about consistency quite a bit with Hume. On the 7th, he was chased after four and a third innings, having let eight runs score on nine hits and a walk. Following that, on the 12th, he let three runs score on five hits and a walk through seven and two-thirds innings, but only struck out one. You see where I'm going with this? They don't have to worry about him going deep, as he usually gets to five or six, and they certainly don't have to worry about his splits, which indicate that he's about equal against both batters. They need to worry about getting the same pitcher to show up on the mound two starts in a row.
RHP Ruben Flores got his well-deserved promotion to the Cal League, where he hasn't pitched since 2007. Diaz, Pineda, and Vega are still on the DL and that makes me sad.
Liddi remembered to walk at home this week too, with another three on Saturday.
Not a great deal is expected of Shaffer, who was drafted in the 15th round and hit just .247/.314/.344 for Pulaski in thirty-one games last season, but the M's liked something, well-enough to skip him over Everett and put him in Clinton to start the year. Lately, it's been paying off, as he's hit .333/.388/.472 for July, .400 in his last ten games, and the past week, well, you get that above. Of his twelve doubles, seven of them have come this month, but that highlights some of the problem as well. Only about 30% of his hits have gone for extra-bases this year, and as he's often in left, that doesn't work out very well. I see him as sort of a lesser McOwen, not quite enough bat for a corner, not enough wheels for center.
Given the run totals, this was an off game for him, but when you look at the log for the game, a different picture comes to light. Kasparek started out the seventh and gave up two hits, but when Matt Renfree came in to record the last out of the inning, he couldn't quite do it. Renfree gave up three singles before he finally got the last man to pop out. Prior to that, Kasparek had been his usual self, and riding a streak of nine batters retired in a row. If a spot opens in High Desert, it wouldn't be a bad idea to see what he can do there.
An injury to regular DH Kris Sanchez brought in IF Jetsy Extrano from the Arizona League. Soon, many more will know this name. RHP Brandon Josselyn was promoted to fill the vacancy left by Flores.
He ended up getting some strong competition from Martinez, Gebbers, and the 26-game safely reached streak by Fuentes, but really, it was probably going to be Jones all along. I think the M's are looking pretty intelligent right now for taking him as an outfielder and not a pitcher. Not that his experience lobbing fastballs didn't help him any, as he managed to gun down a runner in Stanton's start on Saturday. The runner happened to be straying from first, thinking that he might be able to get a double. That was a bad idea. Jones has two assists in nine games since turning pro. Word is going to get out eventually, but let's enjoy the reactions in the meantime. Also, MiLB.com, please start listing him batting and throwing lefty. Thanks.
It's a shame because this week, the two starters who turned in dominant performances over the weekend had stinkers to open things. Stanton had a 8/2 K/BB and only three hits allowed on Saturday through seven innings, and on Monday, he had six runs score against him in five innings, compounded by three home runs. On Sunday, Esquibel held the Dust Devils to two earned runs, with six hits allowed and another 8/2 K/BB through six innings, and on Tuesday he had seven runs score against him in four and a third innings. Staehely gets the nod here because he's among the best of the remainders. One of two Ivy Leaguers in the system (Princeton. Brandon Josselyn, a Yalie, is with Clinton), Staehely has run a 23/4 K/BB through 18.2 innings this year.
Nothing on the level of last week, but LHP Jonathan Hesketh got promoted from Peoria as RHP Phillip Roy went on the DL. I've also concluded that C Israel Nunez must be on the DL because there isn't much reason for them to be carrying five catchers on the roster otherwise.
Burnett's wacky command finally caught up with him as a six walk, two wild pitch, hit batter performance helped lead to six runs scoring against him in five innings. Prior to that, you know, he had been in the top ten for ERA.
Want to know how deep our Latin American scouting can go? Britton was born on an island off the coast of Nicaragua which only has a population of a little over six thousand and an area of ten kilometers. How did they get baseball there? While the islands were a British protectorate for a little less than two and a half centuries, I'm guessing it was the 57-year usage of the island by the U.S., ending in 1971, that did that. Back to Britton… a fifth of his hits so far this year have left the yard, and a little over a third of his hits total have gone for extra-bases. This would all be great news, but he's running a 35/6 K/BB for the season, and so his numbers, while neat, are probably not sustainable.
I'm not getting any luck with the starting pitching performances this week. Pulaski was the same story as Everett, as Maurer has eight Ks and only three hits allowed on Sunday, but gave up five runs on eight hits against three Ks through four innings on Tuesday. Anthony Vasquez, who has recently entered the rotation, gave up five runs in four innings despite striking out eight on Saturday, but on Monday he was in line for a win for a while there, albeit with a less interesting performance. So I get Cloud, who pitched enough to cover roughly a start. He was a fifth-year senior signing out of Texas Tech, who relieved throughout his college career prior to this year, when he made four starts out of twenty-one appearances in an otherwise undistinguished season.
RHPs Kyle Witten and John Housey are both on the roster, after a stint in Peoria. Thus far, only Witten has appeared in a game. It looks like he's replacing Nolan Diaz, who hasn't pitched since the 15th. Housey may be replacing Leonardo Rodriguez, who was demoted to Peoria. Eric Thomas hasn't pitched since June either, so I guess that explains the extra pitcher. LHP James Gilheeney, as predicted, is on the roster but hasn't played yet.
All four of the hits that the M's had on Sunday were doubles. No one else even reached.
Former catcher Jonathan Arias and former infielder Ogui Diaz are both pitching now.
It's hard not to get excited about James Jones. He's showing better plate discipline lately: first 6 games played – 8 K's, last 3 games played – 0 K's. He'll be a fun guy to follow.
The reports on Jones have been tremendous so far. It's early, but that's looking like a fantastic pick right now.
Also, Jay mentioned Nick Hill again, but I'll throw this out there – don't be surprised if Hill is in Seattle before the end of the year. The M's really like this kid, and unlike the rest of the LHPs in the organization, he throws strikes and gets groundballs. There's a decent chance he'll be among the M's call-ups in September, and he might even get here before that.
Really amazing coverage of the Mariner minor leagues. Absolutely amazing. It's so interesting to watch the numbers of guys who do, and don't, get the call-up. Whether it's because of a position block in the majors, a fatal flaw in their game, or team politics, it's fascinating to have a better view of that aspect of the game. Thanks.
He has mostly been a reliever this year, but has made a couple of starts in a row. Did the Jaxx just need a couple of fill-in starts, or do the M's see him as a starter now?
They're giving him a try as a starter again. His change-up has taken a step forward this year, and his reverse platoon split in relief suggested that he might be able to do more than be a reliever.
So far, so good. With his sinking fastball, above average change, and an okay breaking ball, he's got a starter's repertoire.
But if he's a starter, wouldn't they want him to spend more time in the minors building stamina and nailing down his secondary pitches? Or is the rotation going to be shaky enough after trading Washburn that they're willing to rush Hill?
But if he's a starter, wouldn't they want him to spend more time in the minors building stamina and nailing down his secondary pitches? Or is the rotation going to be shaky enough after trading Washburn that they're willing to rush Hill?
Not necessarily so. In four seasons for West Point, three were over eighty innings pitched, and if you combine that with his debut season, he had a 119.2 innings pitched in 2007 and 102.1 innings pitched last year, when he had ten starts for the Mavericks. He's dealt with a considerable workload before, his arm is fresh from not pitching much when he was over at West Point earlier in the year, and as Dave's reports say, his stuff has improved in the past year.
I'm getting to the point where I wouldn't mind seeing what he can do in the rotation with the big club.
Any word on Aumont? His MiLB page says he hasn't pitched since July 8th.
I'm starting to get really optimistic about Hill, too. It's great to be able to enjoy a smart FO that's good at their job, but it's also good to have the reminder of the things that the last regime did well, too; the juxtaposition of Hill and Jones is helpful that way.
Aumont had a death in the family.
Well, I guess I'm not sure what to make of Hill's full history. He's proven capable of dealing with a starter's workload before, and I'd credit him as being less unproven in that regard than Morrow, who only had one full season in college, even without the diabetes issue. And I suppose college was recent enough for Hill, but with the way his development's been handled I just locked into thinking of him as a reliever. Even granting that he's made more progress on stuff and repertoire than expected, 10 starts at Class A and now a couple at AA is not much to show that those gains have been consolidated well enough to hold up at the highest level (at this point I basically discount college completely because I don't know enough about the context).
The positive comparison I'd be willing to consider with Hill is Rowland-Smith. He didn't have much high-level starting experience either, and to all appearances seemed to be on the path for a bullpen career. Lacking the college background, you could even say he was less proven as a potential starter. But he had the repertoire and it didn't actually take that long to manage the conversion. Still, I'm skeptical of taking an aggressive promotion strategy with Hill simultaneous with shifting him back to starting, I'd rather see them decoupled.
What is happening to Nathan Adcock? he seems like he has just been destroyed this season.
Also do you see a promotion due for Brett Lorin who so far is having a nice year.
Jetsy Extrano was killing the AZL real interested to see what he does in Clinton at age 20 was kind of old for AZL but he missed a year in the VZL due to injury and surgery.
His command has gone south on him. It's probably in Tijuana by now getting all messed up on tequila. More seriously, check out his walk rates each month. It's 2.02 in April, great, but then it's 4.81 in May, 5.84 in June, and suddenly 8.68 in July. He's lost his ability to induce groundballs the past two months and his line drive rates have more than doubled this month. Either he's hurt, really lost all semblance of command, or is having some trouble between the ears.
Yeah, I think that's getting to be appropriate. I see his kind of pitcher as needing a bit of adversity, lest he get too cute with things.
I was reading Jim Street's blog (yeah, yeah I know….kills brain cells, scientifically proven, I don't read him often but trade-deadline waiting doldrums knows no mercy), and he mentioned that the M's had signed 31 of their 2009 draft picks, and had come to terms on three others- including 2nd-rounder Poythress.
But I'm only aware- thanks to Baseball America- of 29 signees. Does Jim have the right count? Also, who else is in the fold? I'm guessing nobody of particular note, if any- else it would've been mentioned…but you never know when that 38th-round pick just explodes on arrival.
Have you two heard anything along this way?
To be polite, Jim Street has been known to mess up (on occasion) numbers like ages and batting averages, and years of accomplishments taking place…so any clarification you two could provide would be greatly appreciated.
I am particularly interested in any news on Nelubowich, Blandford (who already has found his worst critic is our buddy, Jason Churchill), and Griggs.
FWIW: I, too, am also in favor of promoting Lorin. I still think of him as having the most promise of all the arms we drafted in 2008.
I hope Poythress signing is true, I'm excited to watch him develop.
Anyway, his latest start is interesting. He doubled his walk total on the year and only struck out two… But also only gave up 3 hits as well as pitched 6 innings. I think at this point he is building up arm strength, which explains why he has more walks and less Ks in his longest appearance this season.
Yup, Street got this one early. Poythress signed earlier today. The plan is to get him five days worth of ABs in Peoria and then he catches a flight to Jackson and starts playing for West Tenn. Yowza.
Nelubowich signed a letter of intent to play football for the Cougars and they're pretty confident he'll hold to it.
No word on Blandford. Griggs is going to college.
Jay, what do you figure is Poythress' ETA?
Mid to late 2011 sounds about right.

Outback footy clubs spending thousands to play in their local competitions

Remote communities in Western Australia are spending thousands of dollars to compete in local football competitions, but it will not stop them from playing.
Some teams travel hours for weekend games in the Kimberley football leagues, and transport costs — including vehicle maintenance and fuel — run into hundreds of dollars each week.
The weekly fuel bill for the Looma Eagles, the team from the Aboriginal community of Looma, is about $400.
But Looma chairwoman Benedicta Pindan said quitting was not an option.
"We don't want it to stop," she said. "A lot of our people are stuck in a rut with drugs and alcohol.
"For some of our people football really helps, even if it's for a quarter of a year — that's probably what drives us to continue to run football."

Many outback communities independently fundraise and organise sponsorship to cover their costs.
"It can be stressful year in and year out, considering that we have many other issues to deal with in our communities," Ms Pindan said.
Looma has a population of about 400 and is an hour's drive away from a petrol station.
"We do a six-hour round trip every weekend," she said.
"Most of our fuel we have to get from Broome and Derby to stock up."
Supporters also can find it hard to attend matches and watch their teams play. (ABC Kimberley: Emily Jane Smith, file)
Car trouble a disaster for remote clubs
On the other side of the Kimberley, the Wirrimanu Kingfishers, in the Aboriginal community of Balgo, forfeited their season because they could not afford to fix the footy bus, which safely transported the team for hours on unpaved roads.
In Warmun, a $35,000 bill to fix the Warmun Eagles' bus forced the community to use council vehicles.
"We don't have that sort of money to spend on a broken bus," Warmun chief executive Sue Leonard said.
"There is now a lot of pressure on our work vehicles. If something happens to those cars it will have very long ranging ramifications on our community.
"Our closest mechanic is two hours away and sometimes it can take months for vehicles to be repaired."

Community can't afford to support players
Ms Pindan said people in metropolitan areas often failed to understand the demands of remote football.
"We're talking about extremely remote," she said.
Ms Pindan said family and friends who supported players could not afford the cost to travel to games.
"Even our children miss out on the game — we can't showcase what we do," Ms Pindan said.

WA Country Football League general manager Joe Georgiades said he understood the investment communities made, but it was the responsibility of regional leagues to structure finances.
"There is a lot of travel issues for remote communities to get down. It often costs thousands and thousands of dollars to participate in the competition," he said.
"One of the challenges Looma has is that they don't have home games.
"But the flipside is that we have to make sure there are the facilities that are up to scratch."
The West Kimberley Football League has been contacted for comment.
