Seneca County Birding Drive
Seneca County has a number of good birding locations which have not been heavily birded. Much of the county is in agricultural fields. This birding drive visits locations around Tiffin which give an introduction to birding in the county. The first six are good examples of "under-birded" locations in Ohio, which deserve more attention from Ohio birders. The drive ends at the Springville Marsh State Nature Preserve, the birding site with the most bird species reported in the county.
Clinton Nature Preserve
375 East Township Road 132
Tiffin, Ohio 44883
From Tiffin, drive northeast on OH-53 for 2 miles. Turn right onto Township Road 132 and arrive at Clinton Nature Preserve in .4 miles.
The Clinton Nature Preserve is a 33-acre preserve located just west of the Sandusky River in Seneca County. There is a 1.25-mile stone walking and bicycling trail which extends to about 1.75 miles when connected to the Schekelhoff trail with several access points to the river. The trail winds through riparian woodland. The parking lot offers a canoe access point. There is fishing access to the river at the Miller fishing hole. A separate trail runs thru the open grassland area and this is a perfect area for enjoying the abundant wildlife and variety of wildflowers. Picnic tables are available at the nature preserve.
Just over 100 species of birds have been reported at this park. The list will grow as more birders visit and submit checklists throughout the year.
Steyer Nature Preserve
5901 North County Road 33
From the Clinton Nature Preserve, drive west on Township Road 132 for .4 mile. Turn right onto OH-53 north and drive 4 miles. Turn right onto Township Road 152 and drive 1.1. miles. Turn right onto County Road 33 and arrive at Steyer Nature Preserve in .1 mile.
Steyer Nature Preserve is located east of Fort Seneca on the Sandusky River. There are more than four miles of trails with eight bridges overlooking scenic ravines. 71 acres of non-hunting area is reserved for hiking. In addition, there are 70 acres of hunting area (in season) which connects with Sugar Creek State Wildlife Area with hunter access and parking off Township Road148. Abbott's Bridge Scenic River Access is nearby at the parking lot off County Road 33. The nature preserve is on a riparian corridor which offers wildflowers in season and wildlife watching and birding throughout the year. There are picnic tables available at the preserve.
This nature preserve is a birding location where the birding list should increase as birders visit it in more seasons.
Beaver Creek Reservoir
Township Road 196
Green Springs, OH 44836
From Steyer Nature Preserve, drive north on County Road 33 for .1 mile. Turn right onto Township Road 145 and drive .5 mile. Make a slight left onto County Road 33 and drive 1.7 miles. Turn right onto Township Road 73 and drive .4 mile. Turn right onto County Road 51 and drive 1 mile. Continue straight onto County Road 34 and drive 5.7 miles. Arrive at Beaver Creek Reservoir.
Beaver Creek Reservoir is located in Northeastern Seneca County on Township Road 196, just off of OH-101. It is about 5 miles southwest of Clyde. Beaver Creek Reservoir is an upground reservoir owned by the city of Clyde; water is supplied to the reservoir by a pump station located on Beaver Creek, just south of the reservoir.
A boat ramp and parking may be accessed from the east side of the reservoir on Township Road 196.
This reservoir attracts ducks and geese during migration, can have ducks in the winter when it remains open water and has a nice mix of birds year round. The birding list for this reservoir should increase as it is birded throughout the year.
Proving Ground Farm
(Formerly named Miller Conservation Farm)
5670 East Township Road 138
From Beaver Creek Reservoir, drive east on County Road 34 for .3 mile. Turn right onto Township Road 196 and go .6 mile. Turn right onto OH-101 west and drive 2.7 miles. Turn left onto Country Road 43 and drive 1.6 miles. Turn right onto Township Road 138 and arrive at Proving Ground Farm in .4 mile.
Over 100 species have been reported on checklists at this site, through the efforts of a few birders. The list should grow as additional birders visit the Conservation Farm and help to fill out the observations throughout the year.
The late Maynard P. and Gladys Mae Stonebraker donated their 80-acre farm to Heidelberg College. The farm was requested to be kept as a memorial to Sidney and Deloria Miller. The Miller's opened their home during the early 1900s to three orphaned children: Jay Erb, Naomi Monroe, and Maynard Stonebraker. Maynard also set forth in his will that the Farm be "maintained and preserved as a natural setting with an emphasis on conservation and preservation of trees and wildlife."
Garlo Heritage Nature Preserve
6777 South OH-19
Bloomville, Ohio 44818
From Proving Ground Farm, drive east on Township Road 138 for .4 mile. Turn right onto Country Road 43 and drive 1 mile. Turn left onto County Road 38 and drive 2 miles. Turn right onto OH-19 south and drive 9.9 miles. Arrive at Garlo Heritage Nature Preserve.
Garlo Heritage Nature Preserve was created in 1997 when Alma and Dolly Garlo initiated the gifting of 256 acres of their family farm to the newly formed Seneca County Park District. The park is a living legacy in memory of doctors Olgierd and Maria Garlo and their son Alex. Olgierd and Maria immigrated from Communist Eastern Europe in 1948 and began acquiring this land in 1961. The preserve is located two miles south of Bloomville, Ohio, on OH-19.
The nature preserve is now 302 acres, including a 37-acre shallow lake, three 1 acre ponds, 35 acres of additional wetlands, and woodlands and grasslands. There are 2.4 miles of hiking trails, 4.7 miles of equestrian trails, and a wheelchair accessible walkway and boardwalk with observation decks. The nature center has a Bluebird trail and butterfly garden. There are picnic tables available at the nature preserve.
This is another "under birded" location in Seneca County. 125 bird species have been reported here by a few birders visiting mostly in the spring and summer.
Collier State Nature Preserve
1655 West Township Road 38
From Garlo Heritage Nature Preserve, drive south on OH-19 for .2 mile. Turn right onto Country Road 6 and drive 7.4 miles. Turn left to stay on County Road 6 for 1 mile. Turn left onto OH-231 south and drive 1 mile. Turn right onto Township Road 28 and drive 2.1 miles. Turn right onto Township Road 38 and drive .4 mile. Turn right and arrive at Collier State Nature Preserve in .2 mile.
Located approximately 3 miles northeast of McCutchenville at the southwestern edge of Seneca County. From McCutchenville, proceed 3 miles east on County Road 58, then .5 mile north on Township Road 131, and .25 mile east on Township Road 38.
This natural area, located on the Sandusky State Scenic River, was originally acquired as a Scenic River area. In addition to the large wooded riverine corridor, with an excellent floodplain community containing large oaks, sycamore, ash, tulip, and cottonwoods, the area also has an impressive amount of relief.
The trail follows the ridge top and then drops dramatically over the hillside to the floodplain of the Sandusky River. These woods contain numerous large beech trees as well as a spectacular diversity of spring wildflowers including sharp-lobed hepatica, Dutchman's breeches, squirrel corn, three trillium species, twinleaf, white and yellow trout-lily, and marsh marigold.
The display of marsh marigolds and skunk cabbage found in the floodplain is particularly striking in early May.
Just over 100 bird species have been reported at this nature preserve, but the number should increase as more birders visit in all four seasons of the year.
Springville Marsh State Nature Preserve
Township Road 24 (Muck Road)
Carey, Ohio 43316
From Collier State Nature Preserve, turn right onto Township Road 38, then turn left onto Township Road 131 and drive .8 mile. continue straight onto County Road 58 and drive 2.8 miles. Turn left onto OH-53 and go .2 mile. Turn right onto OH-587 north and drive .9 mile. Turn left onto County Road 59 and drive 6.1 miles. Turn left onto US-23 south and go .2 mile. Turn right onto Muck Road and arrive at Springville Marsh State Nature Preserve in .9 mile.
Located in Seneca County 3,5 miles north of Carey on US-23 and OH-199; proceed 1 mile west on Township Road 24 (Muck Road) to the preserve parking lot. This last stop on the Seneca County Birding Drive has 220 bird species reported, the most of any location in Seneca County, and has been visited in all seasons.
Visitors to Springville Marsh State Nature Preserve have a unique opportunity to observe and study the beauty of nature and to reflect on the past. Three factors have had a marked effect on this resource. First, abundant groundwater, which has surfaced as many cool, calcium-rich springs, continues to nourish the special plant life found here. Also, many Ice Age plant species and others that are newcomers, provide this preserve with a remarkable and diverse inventory of flowering plants. Third, the uniqueness of the marsh has survived despite past agricultural and industrial disruption.
Springville Marsh is an unequaled nature preserve in northwestern Ohio. It is the largest inland wetland in this part of the state. The preserve is notable for several reasons. Growing within the preserve are several Canadian and Atlantic coastal plain species, which became established here shortly after the Ice Age. Some of these plants are threatened and endangered species in Ohio. Fen orchids, bottle gentian, Kalm's lobelia, and little yellow sedge can be seen along the boardwalk. One of Ohio's largest populations of twig-rush, a typical Atlantic coastal plain species, is located throughout the preserve. There are also smaller areas of more northern plants, such as Ohio goldenrod, grass-of-Parnassus, and shrubby cinquefoil. The sedge meadows, shrubby thickets, and vast areas of cattail marsh provide excellent opportunities to observe wildlife.

"Stop the smell", EA tells Rathlin Energy
By Ruth Hayhurst on September 19, 2014 • ( Leave a comment )
The Environment Agency has instructed Rathlin Energy to stop the smell coming from its exploratory oil and gas well at West Newton in the Yorkshire Wolds after complaints from residents that it was making them feel sick.
Rathlin Energy denied the smell was dangerous and told The Guardian that people's awareness could be heightened by "anything out of the ordinary.
A company spokesman said: "There has been a slight odour associated with our ongoing testing operations. Our work continues to be monitored by our own people and the regulatory authorities. The odour is not hazardous to health".
In a statement, the Environment Agency said: "Following a site inspection we have instructed the company to find the source immediately and take action to fix it. The company is now undertaking urgent work to solve the problem".
Rathlin Energy has a permit for a conventional exploratory well but not to frack. It has been allowed to continue drilling.
The EA statement added: "Operators are required to comply with their permits and the Environment Agency can, and will, stop operations if there is a risk to the environment."
Posts on a Facebook site for the West Newton Community Protection Camp have described the smell as "absolutely vile", "overpowering" and nauseating.
A post on Sunday (September 14th) said: "Waking up to this smell makes you instantly want to retch". Sandra Baxter, who said she lives in the house closest to the site, wrote: "I could not go outside on Friday had to ring envi health my eyes were watering and stinging throat feeling weird and could not stop coughing".
On Monday, a post said there was flaring at the site but it had not removed the odour. Yesterday (September 18th) a post said: "Methane again today. 11.00hrs just before and during flaring. Heavy heavy odour this time an audible alarm could be heard.. Reporting AGAIN to the EA… as soon as flaring is done."
"That was seriously the biggest and most noxious release of Methane here at West Newton since the leaking began. All of us have headaches now and the air is thick with the smell of the additive. Again we must urge visitors to think twice about coming to West Newton with BA gear".
Rathlin Energy's statement denied the smell was methane. It said: "There is water in the well and the mixing fluids being used are causing the smell. The smell is not methane nor is it additives. I am told that it is from the composition of naturally occurring fluids within the well formation."

Saudi Arabia steps up peace efforts in Yemen
On November 28th Saudi Arabia released 128 prisoners captured during the ongoing war against the Houthis, an Iranian-backed Shia group, in Yemen.
The Saudi government—and chiefly Mohammed bin Salman al‑Saud, the crown prince and de facto ruler, who took the country to war against the Houthis in early 2015 shortly after his father's accession—has been increasingly keen for some time to extricate the kingdom from the costly and reputationally damaging conflict. The UN-brokered Stockholm Agreement in December 2018 between the Saudi- and UAE-led coalition (which was formed to restore to power the internationally recognised government of Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, the president) and the Houthi rebels, which seized control of Sanaa and much of the north in late 2014, was widely violated by both parties. However, a more independent, bilateral reconciliation process between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis gained momentum from mid-September—after the Houthis claimed responsibility for two physically and psychologically devastating attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil facilities. Later that month, indirect peace talks were initiated, mediated by Oman, officials from both sides disclosed in mid-November.
Saudi moves to end the war seem to have moved up another gear since the signing of the Riyadh Agreement in early November, which ended a three-month military stand-off in the south between the Southern Transitional Council, a UAE-backed secessionist group, and government forces. Coalition air strikes across the country were reported to have decreased by some 80% in the following weeks, and on November 26th a statement issued via Saudi state media announced that 200 Houthi prisoners would be released and that Sanaa airport would reopen for medical evacuations supervised by the World Health Organisation, a UN body. The facility has been closed to commercial flights since 2016.
Yemen's government has reportedly been largely excluded from the fledgling peace process—in which Saudi Arabia is focused on its key strategic priorities of ensuring domestic security and drawing the Houthis away from Iran's orbit rather than on Mr Hadi's restoration. Anwar Gargash, the UAE foreign minister, revealed acceptance of a post-war political role for the Houthis in a high-profile speech in early November and the Saudi leadership appears to be moving in the same direction.
Impact on the forecast
Our view on the likelihood of a peace agreement between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in 2020‑21 is cautiously more positive, and this will be reflected in our next political forecast.

In March 1945, five fathers in Orange County, California, brought a class-action lawsuit against four school districts on behalf of 5,000 children who were forced to attend segregated "Mexican schools." The story of this lawsuit, Mendez et al. v. Westminster School District et al., reveals how community organizing and grassroots activism, as a response to economic and social injustice, can produce positive change in schools and communities across the United States.
William Guzmán, Frank Palomino, Gonzalo Méndez, Thomas Estrada, and Lorenzo Ramírez—and the family members, friends, and community members who helped organize and sustain their effort—recognized injustice when they saw it.
Compared to the "American schools" of Orange County, the "Mexican schools" their children attended were inferior. Many of the buildings were dilapidated and dangerous. Most of the classrooms were dimly lit, poorly ventilated, and overcrowded. Most of the textbooks were dog-eared and outdated. All of the teachers and principals received less pay. Between the 1910s and the 1940s, thousands of Mexican American children passed through these schools, but only a small fraction attended high school. They were expected instead to join the ranks of Southern California's agricultural laborers and domestic workers. Most of them did so—yet they, and their parents, dreamed of something better.
The plaintiff families and other community members recognized injustice, but they also knew their rights.
They knew that California state laws required local school districts to provide an education for all children. They also knew that the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution required state laws to treat all people within a state's jurisdiction equally. Clearly, Orange County's "Mexican schools" were inferior and thus unequal—but segregation itself, these parents realized, created and perpetuated a sense of inequality. Inspired by America's fight against racist ideologies abroad, the NAACP, the ACLU, LULAC, the Japanese American Citizens League, and the American Jewish Congress rallied to support the families' fight against discriminatory segregation here at home. A federal judge ruled in their favor in 1946, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision in 1947.
At the time, this was the greatest legal victory in the fight against segregated schools that the nation had ever known.
In California, the ruling triggered further progressive gains. As local school districts began to develop plans to close all "Mexican schools," Governor Earl Warren signed legislation that abolished segregated schools for Asian American and Native American children throughout the state. In Texas and Arizona, Mexican American civil rights advocates were inspired to press forward with their own legal battles, and the NAACP's ongoing assault on Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) gained new momentum as well. Ultimately, the Mendez et al. case paved the way for the Supreme Court's ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which, in Chief Justice Warren's own words, concluded that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
The abolition of segregated schools closed a shameful chapter of our history. But when the difficult process of desegregation began, a new chapter opened.
As an entire generation of schoolchildren quickly learned, the legacy of segregation did not vanish with the stroke of a judge's pen. The struggle to realize the American ideal of "a more perfect union" would continue for decades to come.
Our exhibition, A Class Action: The Grassroots Struggle for School Desegregation in California, is more than the history of a court case. It is an interactive, provocative, and inspiring exhibition that explores the history of a community, the emergence and impact of segregated schools, the grassroots effort to abolish these schools, the courtroom battles that ensued, and the new challenges posed by the process of desegregation.

The founders of a corporation must create bylaws to govern it. An operating agreement governs an LLC -- not bylaws. According to Dartmouth University, many states do not require an LLC to have an operating agreement to register and do business in the state. However, it is still advisable for the owners, known as members, of an LLC to create an operating agreement because it helps guard the LLC's limited liability protection and prevent financial and management misunderstandings.
A LLC does not have to file its operating agreement with the secretary of state; however, it must still conform specifically to the state's laws. According to Harvard University, some LLC operating agreements state that all court cases involving the LLC are under the jurisdiction of a specific state. The Delaware Court of Chancery has upheld this requirement when it appeared in LLC operating agreements.
The operating agreement of an LLC may provide members' rights that state law does not grant. In the state of Florida, members may not be able to sell their shares in the LLC unless the operating agreement specifically allows them to sell their shares. The members will not be able to get their investment capital back from the LLC without completely disbanding it if this option is not available.
When a state does not require an LLC to provide an operating agreement, the LLC still has rules that govern it: each state has laws that set basic default rules that govern sales of shares, establish the liability of each member and define the members' rights to approve new members. According to Dartmouth University, when LLC members create their own operating agreement, it has priority over the state's default rules.
The operating agreement usually outlines the financial and working relationships of the members of the LLC. In the case of a single member LLC, this member can still create an operating agreement. According to Dartmouth University, when an individual who has sole ownership in an LLC writes an operating agreement, this helps ensure that courts do not view the company as a sole proprietorship.
The LLC operating agreement can determine which members have management responsibilities for the company. The default rule in Florida is that an LLC is member managed, so each member has management rights. According to Nova Southeastern University, the LLC operating agreement is necessary in Florida if the members want to assign management rights only to specific members.


Attorney Bob Nersesian defends gamblers in lawsuits against casinos.
Monday, Oct. 23, 2017 | 2 a.m.
But Bob Nersesian insists he's just a normal lawyer, looking out for people who feel they've been cheated by the house.
Known in professional circles as a go-to attorney for gamblers, Nersesian has operated a family law firm for nearly 25 years in downtown Las Vegas.
Representing mostly car dealerships and auto salespeople, he and his wife, Thea, initially saw Las Vegas as a "nice place" to raise their three children and quietly retire.
Nersesian said he and his client settled with the casino for $15,000. From then on, he was dedicated to fighting similar cases.
More than 20 years later, Nersesian has helped open the eyes and affect the policies of casinos across the valley. The veteran gaming attorney sat down with The Sunday to explain his dealings with the industry and his goals going forward.
Is it possible to do what you do and still have friends in the gaming industry?
Oh, yeah. I live in town; how can I not?
So casinos don't see you as the enemy?
Casinos aren't above recognizing when somebody goes off the reservation. My perspective could save them tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. And by remaining social with me and not being antagonistic, I think it's better for everybody involved.
To get to trial and through trial is a six-figure expense for those guys and their insurance companies. I'm not suggesting that anybody should succumb to blackmail on the part of a lawyer. If they think their case is right, then convince me. I've walked away a couple of times. But if you're willing to meet me and deal with me and we can be frank and honest about what the law is and what happened, you get to save that $100,000 because, at least from my practice to date, I would say no reasonable offer is refused.
Now, from their end, they'd say they've made hundreds of reasonable offers that were refused. The flip side of that is that I didn't think they were reasonable, and I have the jury history to prove it. ... On actual trials, I think I'm 12 and 2. That's on casino-security abuse, and it includes a cop case in there, too.
How often do you get cases?
By 2011, my phone was ringing three times a day. It still goes on, but a lot of calls are weeded out because they wouldn't make a good civil suit. Sometimes people will say, "I saw you in the paper," or "I saw you on TV, and I was beat up." But they were beat up because they stole a drink or did something illegal.
You don't have free reign just because you're a member of the public. Nor do casinos. Somebody has to approach this from a legal perspective. Just because you end up at the south end of casino security, doesn't mean you're innocent. It certainly doesn't mean you're guilty, either.
What other clients do you represent?
I'm an automotive attorney representing car dealers and manufacturers as well. I'm partners with my wife. But the majority of my clients are people suing casinos.
And most of them settle outside of court?
Oh yeah, the huge majority do. My 12-and-2 record, those are just trials. Trials are rare.
What has your impact been on casinos?
I hope it has been huge. I've seen some feedback that it has been. One thing is, I get invited to industry symposiums to speak to the casino industry by the casino industry, to teach them how not to do this stuff. I'd like to think that's a pretty good indicator.
What legacy do you hope to leave when it's all said and done?
Well, it may be pretty close to being all said and done, because I'm 58, and I'm working 70 hours a week. I have two books under my belt; I have other things I can do. And while I love practicing law, I don't love every part of it.
Being right and losing. Although I really enjoy being wrong and winning.
But you'd rather be right and win?
Yes — that's most of the time. I don't think I've ever been wrong on a casino case and won. But I've been right on a casino case and lost.
They are sometimes tougher to face. There are a couple of judges who have issued orders that generally have favored the casinos.


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Mvasi (bevacizumab-awwb) as a biosimilar to Avastin (bevacizumab) for the treatment of multiple types of cancer. Mvasi is the first biosimilar approved in the U.S. for the treatment of cancer.
Metastatic colorectal cancer, in combination with intravenous 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for first- or second-line treatment. Mvasi is not indicated for the adjuvant treatment of surgically resected colorectal cancer.
Metastatic colorectal cancer, in combination with fluoropyrimidine-irinotecan- or fluoropyrmidine-oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for the second-line treatment of patients who have progressed on a first-line bevacizumab product-containing regimen. Mvasi is not indicated for the adjuvant treatment of surgically resected colorectal cancer.
Non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel for first line treatment of unresectable, locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic disease.
Glioblastoma with progressive disease following prior therapy, based on improvement in objective response rate. No data is available demonstrating improvement in disease-related symptoms or survival with bevacizumab products.
Health care professionals should review the prescribing information in the labeling for detailed information about the approved uses.
Biological products are generally derived from a living organism and can come from many sources, such as humans, animals, microorganisms or yeast. A biosimilar is a biological product that is approved based on data showing that it is highly similar to an already-approved biological product and has no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety, purity and potency (i.e., safety and effectiveness) from the reference product, in addition to meeting other criteria specified by law.
The FDA's approval of Mvasi is based on review of evidence that included extensive structural and functional characterization, animal study data, human pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics data, clinical immunogenicity data and other clinical safety and effectiveness data that demonstrates Mvasi is biosimilar to Avastin. It has been approved as a biosimilar, not as an interchangeable product.
Common expected side effects of Mvasi include nose bleeds (epistaxis), headache, high blood pressure (hypertension), inflammation of the nasal cavity (rhinitis), high levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), taste alteration, dry skin, rectal bleeding (hemorrhage), excessive tear production (lacrimation disorder), back pain and skin irritation (exfoliative dermatitis).
Serious expected side effects of Mvasi include holes in or abnormal connection between two organs (perforation or fistula), blood clot formation (arterial and venous thromboembolic events), hypertension, problems in brain function or structure (posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome), high levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), infusion-related reactions and loss of function of the ovaries (ovarian failure). Patients should stop using Mvasi if these side effects become severe or life-threatening. Women who are pregnant should not take Mvasi because it may cause harm to a developing fetus.
Like Avastin, the labeling for Mvasi contains a Boxed Warning to alert health care professionals and patients about an increased risk of holes in the stomach and intestines (gastrointestinal perforations); surgery and wound healing complications; and severe or fatal pulmonary, gastrointestinal, central nervous system and vaginal bleeding (hemorrhage). Patients should stop using Mvasi if gastrointestinal perforation occurs. Patients should not take Mvasi in the 28 days prior to and after elective surgery, and until the surgical wound is fully healed. Patients should stop using Mvasi if a surgical incision breaks open (wound dehiscence). Mvasi should not be given to patients with severe hemorrhage or in patients who cough up blood (hemoptysis).
The FDA granted approval of Mvasi to Amgen, Inc. Avastin was approved in February 2004 and is manufactured by Genentech, Inc.

MLB: 3 Times When the Bat Flip is a Bad Idea
by Eric Schaal | More Articles: MLB
Tom Szczerbowski/Getty Images
The topic of bat flips and home run pimps has been on everyone's mind in the 2015 MLB postseason. Before the league championship series even got underway, Yoenis Cespedes and Jose Bautista both delivered flips that cracked the top 10 of all time.
But did they go too far? In the case of Cespedes, no one seemed to notice or care, but in Bautista's case, the Rangers were not happy about the epic flip. By our estimation, there was nothing wrong with what Bautista did, as he essentially sealed the NLDS for the Blue Jays after overcoming a 2-0 series deficit. So yeah, it was a super clutch moment, and even Joe Carter gave his blessing for what happened.

Major League Baseball certainly didn't have any problem with Bautista's etiquette, as the sport's Twitter account was promoting the bat flip like crazy after the fact, as it had done when Cespedes put the icing on the Mets' Game Three win at Citi Field. This is the playoffs, and if you hit a game- or series-clincher, hell, we think you should enjoy it as much as the fans.
In fact, maybe baseball's old school should relax a bit when it comes to bat flipping and general pimping. It's entertainment, fellas, and even discussing the subject gets people more fired up than they do about most ball games. So we'll say it's good for the sport as well. Nonetheless, there are a few exceptions to this rule. Here are the three situations when bat flips are likely to result in batters getting drilled in the future.

If you hit a 900-foot home run in the third inning of a game in May, it has little effect on your club's fate. Let's call it a meaningless bomb, and there are countless examples of excessive bat flips when there is nothing at stake. Remember, the pitcher will feel shown up if an over-the-top stare and pimp-walk follows. Joe Carter weighed in on this very fact following the Bautista home run. Carter was cool with the Joey Bat flip in the NLDS, but noted in the regular season that "it's a nae nae."
2. You're new in the league
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Players with several hundred home runs or plenty of respect in the league can get away with things a rookie player can't. Most of the old-school pitchers will let newcomers know about it when they see long stares at a home run or some other excessive celebration. This point makes a great deal of sense. People who are new in any situation ought to show some degree of humility. Once you get your feet wet and hit bombs on a regular basis, teams will let these things slide.
3. The point is to taunt rather than celebrate
Pitchers get furious about bat flips and other home run celebrations because they say the player is taunting them on the field. While it may be a spontaneous reaction of joy after doing something awesome for your team (as Bautista's seemed to be), some bat flippers are out to burn the opposing pitcher. This intent is malicious and reeks of bad sportsmanship. When a batter is out to provoke the opposing pitcher or team, he'll usually get what he asked for. Expect benches to clear at some point.

Stillwater Teen Accused Of Running Roadblock Jailed On $25,000 Bail
By: Patti Weaver
(Stillwater, Okla.) — A Stillwater teenager accused of running a roadblock in the 2400 block of N. Perkins Road, attempting to elude police near the intersection of Airport Road and Washington Street, escaping from arrest, driving without a license, and transporting a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic Hi-point pistol that was not in a locked compartment in his vehicle has been jailed on $25,000 bail pending a Jan. 4 court appearance.
If convicted of a five-count charge, Nathan Daniel Vanvuren, 18, could be incarcerated for as long as nine and one-half years and fined $9,000, court records show.
After he was arrested at 12:08 am on Dec. 18 at 2200 N. Perkins Road, "Nathan stated he ran from the police due to him not having a driver's license. He was told that was just a misdemeanor offense and would have been released from the scene.
"I went on to tell him he was now facing a few felony charges. Nathan admitted the gun was his, which was given to him by an acquaintance he knows as 'Atray' from the Tulsa area. He stated he did not pay for the weapon and carries it on his person when he goes out as a means of protection," Stillwater Police Officer Dusty Behne alleged in an affidavit.
When the officer talked to a girl in the vehicle, "I asked her who the male was that ran. She told me she knows him as 'Nate.' She said she knows him through friends and Snapchat. Nathan told her he was 18.
"She asked me what happened. I told her I was pulling them over for a traffic infraction when she said she told him to pull over when she saw the lights and Nathan said not to worry about it and that they were going to get the f…. out of there. She said she did not want to get arrested and to please pull over. Nathan again told her no.
"She told me they had been in contact on Snapchat and agreed to meet up at the Stillwater High School. They then walked over to his mother's residence to hang out before taking the vehicle. They had gone to the store to get some water and gas before going back to the park.
"Nathan took off after seeing me and she asked if he knew why we were pulling them over. He told her yeah and she said for him to just pull over. Nathan got quiet at this point. She was unaware of Nathan having a gun in the vehicle," the officer alleged in his affidavit.
Stillwater Police Officer William Cluck "advised me that he located a firearm in a jacket pocket in the backseat of the vehicle," the officer alleged in his affidavit.
Other officers "gave chase to Nathan and later apprehended him near Lakeview Pointe Dentistry," the affidavit alleged.

Nordic Gig Guide: Karin Park, Agnes Obel, MØ + More!
Check out what London has to offer this week in the Nordic Gig Guide, including Karin Park, MØ and Agnes Obel!
London has a lot of Nordic music to offer this week, as always!
Whether you fancy visiting an urban club gig, or heading to the outskirts of the city to enjoy a cosy farmhouse festival, you'll find Nordic talent in all the right places this week.
Weds 9th/Thurs 10th July – Karin Park, Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen and Kopparberg Urban Forest, London – Tickets
For fans of Swedish electronic pop artist Karin Park, this week is a gold mine! Karin is playing two gigs in London this week – one at Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen on Wednesday and another the next day at Kopparberg Urban Forest. The latter one is free, but in case you want to be sure to catch the extremely contagious tunes of her catchy pop, make sure to arrive on time – or pay for the security of a ticket to Hoxton Square. On the other hand, Norwegian DJ duo Project Fresh Socks will play another set on Thursday at the Kopparberg festival, so you might as well give in to the temptation of visiting both gigs.
Sat 12th July – Agnes Obel, Somerset House, London – Tickets
Danish pianist and singer Agnes Obel will return to London this week, playing a concert at Somerset House. Last time she visited, the show sold out, and we're sure that this much anticipated performance will be packed out as well. After a quick visit to Belgium, Agnes will play a second gig in the UK at the Latitude festival on the 19th July, so there is a second chance to catch her, before she heads off on her US tour this fall!
Sat 12th July – MØ, Leefest, Warlingham – Tickets
Denmark's powerful pop sensation, MØ firmly continues her journey towards the upper sphere's of the Scandinavian pop sky. After her performance at Glastonbury, she's ready to take on another UK festival, just south of London – Leefest. This fairly small festival is the perfect setting for a day or weekend out of town, with a nice atmosphere guaranteed.
Fri 11th to Sun 13th July – Elliphant, T in the Park, Balado, Scotland – Tickets
Similar to her colleague from Glastonbury – MØ – Sweden's Elliphant takes the opportunity to play as many gigs in the country as possible while still in the minds of fans of great music. But instead of heading south, Elliphant will take her in-your-face electronica to Scotland and T in the Park. Probably very different from MØ's Leefest appearance, but this is sure to be just as great a gig!
Sun 13th July – Sailor & I and Dagny, Kopparberg Urban Forest, London – Free
Sweden's Alexander Sjödin, or Sailor & I (as he calls himself on stage) will continue the urban forest party in Dalston on Sunday 13th July. Sailor & I presents modern pop tunes as a multi-talented performer, and has been compared to Fleet Foxes and Rhye, among others. This is Sailor & I's only announced gig in London for the time being, so there's no time to lose! Along with Sailor & I, Norway's folk pop singer Dagny will also take to the stage. The event is free, but first come first served, so be quick!
More gigs coming up in July:
Weds 16th July – Emilie Nicolas, The Lexington, London – Tickets
Thurs 17th July – Sun 20th July –Latitude Festival with Agnes Obel, Ásgeir, Broken Twin, Elliphant, Emilie Nicolas, Lykke Li, First Aid Kit, Robyn & Röyksopp, Seinabo Sey, Southwold – Tickets
Tue 22nd July – Seinabo Sey, Notting Hill Arts Club, London – Tickets

PrevMade In Italy With Love
Style Editor
The Art of Fashion
If you haven't had an Italian affair yet, it's time you go to Florence. That's where we start our journey. Through Italy and in true Italian style.
We chose Firenze as starting point of our journey as it is a great example of past and future, with its enduring elements of true luxury, as opposed to the fleeting world of fast fashion.
In the city center it's like taking a leap into the past, with streets still named after the ancient textile trade (like Corso dei Tintori, 'Dyers Avenue') and Medieval palaces. One of them is today the home of Salvatore Ferragamo fashion museum, a must-see for all the shoe lovers, while in another old palazzo in Piazza Signoria there is the Gucci Museum.
Florence is the birthplace of many other popular powerhouses as well, such as Roberto Cavalli, Ermanno Scervino and Emilio Pucci, who created the look known as 'casual elegance', that would later become the Italian ready-to-wear.
But what we are here for is a new designer who took luxury to the next level.
The Essence of True Luxury
Luigi Giannetta Firenze is a luxury fashion designer in love with timeless beauty and ultimate perfection. He created an iconic line of ultra-luxury alligator bags, handcrafted from the most precious exotic leathers by Florentine master artisans. Elegant, chic and ultimately perfect, his bags are not for everyone. They are designed for few sophisticated ladies and can be customized with the owner's initials in gold.
Each one an exquisite and unique piece of art.

Open Plan Work Spaces vs Cubicles – So Which is Best for Productivity?
Home / Guides / Open Plan Work Spaces vs Cubicles – So Which is Best for Productivity?
upmlwp Jul 9, 2015
Mention the topic of open plan work spaces vs cubicles to anyone working in or managing an office and chances are you'll have a fairly lively debate on your hands. Some love the privacy and lack of distraction you get working in a cubicle, whereas others find the solitude and lack of human interaction pretty soul destroying. So the question is, which makes us work harder, open plan or cubicle working?
First of all, we have to work out what it is that makes us more productive at work. Lots of factors come into play, but one thing's for sure; a happy worker is a more productive one. Recent research conducted by the University of Warwick, which included four different experiments on more than 700 people, showed that if we're happy, we work harder. 12% harder to be precise. So if a happy worker is a more productive one, then which makes workers happier, open plan offices or cubicles?
Open plan offices were originally designed in the 1950s and earlier this year, Facebook unveiled their new open plan office in Menlo Park, California, which Mark Zuckerberg described as "the largest open floor plan in the world"
The idea of the open plan office was that collaboration and productivity increases as communication and ideas flow more freely between workers. Before open plan offices came along, the workforce was often stationed in fairly oppressive, tightly packed, regimented lines, like this happy lot from the 40s. So, has it worked? Are we happier and more productive as a result of the open plan office?
It depends. In 2011, Matthew Davis found that open plan offices were detrimental to workers' satisfaction, attention spans and productivity. Seems like the more we're interrupted, the more stressed out we get and the less we get done. We've all been there, the loud crisp cruncher, the incessant moaner. So distracting! So cubicles must be the answer, right?
Cubicle working definitely has its advantages. The main benefits are privacy and lack of distracting annoyances. In a recent survey by Ipsos and the Workspace Futures Team of Steelcase, a whopping 95% of workers said that privacy in the workplace was important to them and 85% said they were dissatisfied with their work environment. In a cubicle, you can focus a lot better, without getting drawn into other stuff. A big disadvantage, though, is that you can feel hemmed in and isolated, which can impact on your happiness. It looks like the overall popularity of the open plan office is on the wane with workers, with the exception of those in creative industries and cubicle working, although far from perfect, might have the edge if your work requires you to concentrate deeply.
Neither are perfect though. We've had half a century of open plan and cubicle working and we're stressed out, distracted and craving privacy more than ever. So what's the latest thinking in office design? Seems like work pods could be the way forward. Private, quiet, great to look at and you can even have a little snooze if you want to! What's not to love?

[ARCHIVED] 11-03-20: Connecticut Will Roll Back to Phase 2.1 Rules Beginning Friday, Nov. 6, 2020
Governor Lamont announces Connecticut will roll back to Phase 2.1 rules beginning Friday, November 6, 2020
Governor Lamont today announced that due to the steadily increasing rate of COVID-19 in Connecticut, he is ordering the entire state to roll back to Phase 2.1 rules – a slightly modified version of the previously enacted Phase 2 rules – effective at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, November 6, 2020.
The major changes that will occur under Phase 2.1 include:
Restaurants will reduce to 50 percent capacity with a maximum of 8 people limited to a table;
Restaurants and entertainment venues (i.e. bowling allies, movie theaters, arcades, etc.) will be required to close by 9:30 p.m., with the exception of food takeout and delivery services, which will be allowed to continue after 9:30 p.m.;
Personal services, such as hair salons and barber shops, will remain at 75 percent capacity;
Event venues will be limited to 25 people indoor, 50 people outdoor;
Performing arts venues and movie theaters will have a capacity of 100 people; and
Religious gatherings will be limited to 50 percent capacity or 100 people maximum.
Employers are reminded to maximize telework to the extent possible, and those over 60 and with chronic conditions are urged to remain home as much as possible.
The governor is expected to soon issue an executive order implementing Phase 2.1, and the Department of Economic and Community Development in the coming days will provide businesses with further guidance on the changes.

Lasers Aim to Replace Scalpels in Cutting-Edge Biopsy Technique
Professor Lihong Wang and Postdoctoral Scholar Dr. Junhui Shi have developed a new imaging technique that uses pulses from two kinds of lasers to take pictures of microscopic biological structures. This new approach, called ultraviolet-localized mid-infrared photoacoustic microscopy, or ULM-PAM, develops images of the microscopic structures found in a piece of tissue by bombarding the sample with both infrared and ultraviolet laser light. "Because ultraviolet light and infrared have different properties, we had to find special mirrors and glass that could focus both," Dr. Shi says. "And because no camera exists that can see both, we had to develop ways to see if they were correctly focused." [Caltech story]

Where there is water, there may be life, which is why students participating in the 2019 Caltech Space Challenge were tasked with finding a way to probe Saturn's moon Enceladus. In March 2019, 32 graduate and undergraduate students from around the world met at Caltech, divided into two teams, and designed their best proposals to meet this year's challenge, with a theoretical budget of $1 billion. "It was important to dream big for this project, but equally important to be practical," explained Caltech aerospace graduate student Fabien Royer who co-organized the event with graduate student Simon Toedtli.

Undergraduate Students Win International Data Science Competition
Undergraduate students Hongsen Qin, Emma Qian, Thomas Hoffmann, and Alexander Zlokapa (advised by Professors Aaron Ames, Erik Winfree, Jonathan Katz, Maria Spiropulu, and Yaser Abu-Mostafa) have won the Citadel Data Open International Data Science Competition. This winning team chose to investigate the optimal way to spend $1 billion to save lives from malaria and sanitation-related diseases, allocating funds for different prevention methods and optimizing budget breakdowns country by country. To quantify the socioeconomic impacts of their policy proposal, they modeled a variety of aspects from mosquito feeding cycles to climate change using techniques ranging from causal discovery methods to interpretable machine learning. The Caltech team was among 24 teams that were evaluated and questioned by a panel of experts including the former Chief Scientist of AI at Microsoft, a Princeton professor, and the chief of equities at Citadel. The Caltech team was chosen as the first place winner based on the depth, rigor, and comprehensiveness of their analysis.

Katie Bouman Joins EAS and CMS
Congratulations to the entire Event Horizon Telescope team, and especially to Dr. Katie Bouman who is joining the Engineering and Applied Science (EAS) Division in June as assistant professor of computing and mathematical sciences (CMS). Currently, Caltech and CO Architects are working with her to design and construct a unique laboratory that will facilitate her work in computational imaging. The laboratory is the first of its kind and is designed for her to conduct experimental work in conjunction with her computational approaches – making it possible, for instance, to observe phenomena previously difficult or impossible to measure. The black hole imaging is one spectacular example of how Professor Bouman's algorithms are advancing our knowledge of the world; she has also developed algorithms that let us "see around corners" and detect material properties (such as stiffness and dampness) via imaging. In her work, Bouman has also developed methods to combine information from both imaging as well as acoustic systems to analyze sub-pixel scale vibrations of otherwise seemingly still objects. As a result, relatively inexpensive cameras, combined with powerful algorithms, are an increasingly attractive alternative to complex and expensive laser-based systems to sense "invisible" attributes of a material.

Scarcity in the Modern World
A new book, Scarcity in the Modern World, examines how concerns about the scarcity of environmental resources such as water, food, energy and materials have developed, and subsequently been managed, from the 18th to the 21st century. The book is co-edited by Dr. Neil Fromer, Professor John Brewer, and their colleagues from University of Chicago and University of London. It brings together scholars from a variety of academic disciplines to provide an innovative multi-disciplinary perspective that corrects previous scholarship which has discussed scientific and cultural issues separately. Other Caltech contributors to the book include Professors David Rutledge and Jean-Laurent Rosenthal. [Learn more]

Laser Technology Helps Researchers Scrutinize Cancer Cells
Lihong Wang, Bren Professor of Medical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, and colleagues are using photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) to improve on an existing technology for measuring the oxygen-consumption rate (OCR). This new method allows the researchers to determine how oxygenated a sample of blood is by "listening" to the sound it makes when illuminated by the laser. Professor Wang calls this single-cell metabolic photoacoustic microscopy, or SCM-PAM. [Caltech story]

I cannot run my modem straight to PFSense via PFsense PPPOE interface. I have to run a double NAT.
If my LAN is 192.168.1.0/24 and my WAN is 192.168.2.0/24, how can I configure PFSense to allow access to my modem web interface from the LAN. All examples I have found point to having a PPPOE interface to the modem which I don't have.
Why shouldn't it have access immediately?
Which IP is shown as your gateway on WAN? Something like 192.168.2.1 maybe? Go there by trying http://192.168.2.1 or https://192.168.2.1. Your modem's UI should respond then.
From Interfaces: WAN you could as well try not to "Block private networks and loopback addresses" but that shouldn't matter for an outgoing connection and its answers.
No idea why it can't be seen. Hence the question.
I have setup box with a couple of OpenVPN clients, squid and haproxy. This all works. I have Gateway Groups setup to use different gateways etc.
My WAN say, is 192.168.2.1 and the modem is 192.168.2.254.
I can hit pfsense on 192.168.1.1 from the LAN, but when trying 192.168.2.254 for the modem from the LAN, there is no access. I can ping from the lan the modem and get a response, but I can't telnet to port 80 or 443 for the web UI. traceroute shows first the pfsense and then the modem.
So all quite confusing what I need to do.
Are you sure about the /25 or is that a typo? But shouldn't do much in regards to your problem.
but I can't telnet to port 80 or 443 for the web UI.
Port 80 and 443 are HTTP/HTTPS ports, which means you go there with your browser, not a telnet client.
Telnet is often used to connect to other ports for testing etc. For example try "telnet www.google.com 80", which will connect to Google on port 80. After you do that, type "ls" to see what you get.
That is a typo - its 24.
For completeness, I have resolved or worked around the issue.
I ensured that pfsense can see the modem (well it should!) and can telnet to the modem port. I then created a HAProxy front end on my lan, and a backend to the modem. This workaround came about from another problem I had with HAProxy, Web UI exposed to the WAN side on 443 etc.

UN Experts Condemn UAE Plans to Forcibly Repatriate Former Guantánamo Prisoner Ravil Mingazov to Russia, Where He Faces "Substantial Risk of Torture"
My response to UN human rights experts condemning the UAE for its proposal to forcibly repatriate Ravil Mingazov, a Russian sent to the UAE from Guantánamo in 2016, even though he faces "substantial risk of torture" in his home country. I call on the US government to respond by urgently appointing a Special Envoy for Guantánamo Closure to intervene of Mingazov's behalf — and also on behalf of 19 other men sent to the UAE from Guantánamo (18 Yemenis and an Afghan). All have been subjected to arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance since their resettlement, despite having been promised their freedom when they were first transferred.

"44 After the war it appeared to Washington that the Chinese Communist party (CCP) had "played an Page 9 unusually large role" in supporting the Vietminh.
1 This commitment is even more perplexing because of Washington's lack of interest in Indochina prior to World War II. 2 Even following Pearl Harbor, military planners subsumed Indochina within the low-priority China-Burma-India theater.

Equally menacing, the expansion threatened the United States directly by all but encircling the Philippines.

Q: Functional derivative and variation of action $S$ vs Lagrangian $L$ vs Lagrangian density $\mathcal{L}$ vs Lagrangian 4-form $\mathbf{L}$ I have seen many potential abuse of notation that prevents me from clearly understanding variational methods in QFT and GR that I want to get this settled once and for all. This may be a bit long but I think it pays to put everything in one place.
Functional derivative in QFT
Suppose I want to obtain an equation of motion. If I follow standard definition (e.g. Wikipedia, which does give standard expression as far as I remember), given an action for a field theory of the form
$$S[\Phi] = \int d^4x\,\mathcal{L}[\Phi,\partial_\mu\Phi]$$
where $\Phi$ is a particular field we are interested in. I will set the variation of the action $\delta S=0$. Now, this variation is formally defined as
\begin{align}
\delta S := \int d^4x\, \frac{\delta S}{\delta \Phi}\delta\Phi
\end{align}
and we formally define the quantity $\delta S/\delta\Phi$ to be the functional derivative of $S$ with respect to $\Phi$ (there may be rigorous alternative/interpretation using Frechet derivative which I am not familiar of so I appreciate if anyone can clarify this).
Now, the expression on RHS of $\delta S$ is meaningless unless I know what is $\delta \Phi$ and the functional derivative $\delta S/\delta \Phi$. This is settled by using some appropriate space of test functions, which for asymptotically flat spacetimes would be the space of functions that vanish on the boundary $\partial M$ of the manifold $M$ (e.g. compactly supported functions on $M$, denoted $C^\infty_c(M)$). If $h\in C^\infty_c(M)$, we have
\begin{align}
\int d^4x\,\frac{\delta S}{\delta \Phi}h = \lim_{\epsilon\to 0}\frac{S[\Phi+\epsilon h]-S[\Phi]}{\epsilon} = \left.\frac{d}{d\epsilon}\right|_{\epsilon=0}S[\Phi+\epsilon h]\,,
\end{align}
and what we usually call $\delta \Phi$ is in fact $\epsilon h$, which is consistent with the name "variation of $\Phi$". The above expression also furnishes a definition of how to take functional derivative of any functional. The standard Euler-Lagrange equation for field theory is then obtained by saying that $\delta S=0$ for all variations $\delta\Phi$ that vanish on the boundary, which then implies that
\begin{align}
0 = \frac{\delta S}{\delta\Phi} = \frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial\Phi}- \partial_{\mu}\frac{\partial \mathcal{L}}{\partial(\partial_\mu\Phi)}\,.
\end{align}
While it may be obvious to some, it should be stressed that $\partial \mathcal{L}/\partial \Phi$ is not a function but a functional of $\Phi,\partial_\mu\Phi$: just note that $\Phi=\Phi(x^\mu)$. This is followed e.g. QFT texts by Blundell, implicitly by Peskin, and many other places.
If we follow Weinberg's QFT route, he instead works with Lagrangian:
\begin{align}
L = \int d^3x\,\mathcal{L}(\Phi,\partial_\mu\Phi)\,,\hspace{0.5cm} S= \int d x^0 L\,,
\end{align}
and then show that the same Euler-Lagrange equation is obtained when $\delta L = 0$. You can check in Weinberg's textbook that the steps used are exactly the same as what I outlined using the actions $S$ except that he chose to work with $L$, the usual Lagrangian (not the Lagrangian density) instead of the full action $S$.
Q1: why can we do these two different variations $\delta S=0$ and $\delta L=0$ and get the same answer? Clearly there is some connection between $\delta S$ and $\delta L$, but my problem stems from this issue: it looks to me that the variation $\delta\Phi$ looks different in these two cases, since one is variation under $d^4x$ and the other is in $d^3x$: effectively, the test function $\delta\Phi\equiv \epsilon h$ for $\delta L$ case only need to care about spatial integral, while $\delta S$ requires spacetime integral. Either the two mean the same thing or some subtle thing I missed render them equal in the end.
UPDATE 1: I think I might have figured out Q1 (or at least partially). It has to do with the fact that Weinberg had to split the Euler-Lagrange for spatial derivative and time derivatives, so he treated $\partial_j\Phi$ and $\dot{\Phi}$ separately (see discussions around his Eq. (7.2.1-7.2.7) or so). I certainly could use some clarification/confirmation.
Functional derivative in GR
In GR, there is a situation in which you want to work with canonical formalism which leads you to understand surface charges and conserved quantities similar to the above. The usual difference, however, is that the method formally differential forms to make things work. You don't work with Lagrangian density but Lagrangian 4-form $\mathbf{L}$ (see e.g. Iyer-Wald formalism
or advanced lecture notes on GR by Compere here, among many others). In here, $\mathbf{L} = L\,d^4x$ so $L$ is really a Lagrangian density as we usually know in QFT. For convenience let's focus on Compere's notes (which is quite clean and well-written) However, in these contexts, the variation of $\mathbf{L}$ is the one that gives the equation of motion, and they formally define
\begin{align}
\frac{\delta L}{\delta \Phi}:=\frac{\partial L}{\partial \Phi}-\partial_\mu\frac{\partial L}{\partial (\partial_\mu\Phi)}\,.
\end{align}
As far as I know, in these contexts where one works with Lagrangian 4-form and symplectic formalism, the calculation is rigorous (modulo doing hardcore analysis), i.e. there is no handwaving and whatsoever but the definitions here are to me inconsistent with QFT one I wrote above: after all, in these two papers/notes $L$ is Lagrangian density and hence it would, by replacing $L$ with $\mathcal{L}$ to match QFT version, mean that Euler-Lagrange equation is
\begin{align}
0=\frac{\delta \mathcal L}{\delta \Phi} \neq \frac{\delta S}{\delta \Phi}\,,\frac{\delta L_{\text{Weinberg}}}{\delta \Phi}\,.
\end{align}
Note also that in this formalism, the definition of conserved stress-tensor also follows from variation of the Lagrangian 4-form with respect to infinitesimal diffeomorphism generated by vector $\xi^\mu$, i.e.
\begin{align}
\delta_\xi\mathbf{L} = \text{d}(...)\Longrightarrow \partial_\mu T^{\mu\nu} = 0\,.
\end{align}
where $\text{d}(...)$ is exterior derivative of some 3-form (i.e. RHS is an exact 4-form).
Q2: is this abuse of notation, inconsistency, or is there something I am fundamentally missing here?
Out of all people, I find it hard to believe that Wald/Compere (and many others I cannot remember) commit abuse of notation of this kind (if at all), so either I miss something trivial or there is something going on that I don't understand.

A: *

*The main point is (as OP already mentions) that while the action
$$S[\Phi]~=~\int\!dt~L[\Phi(\cdot,t),\dot{\Phi}(\cdot,t),t]~=~ \int\! d^4x~{\cal L}(\Phi(x),\partial\Phi(x),x) \tag{A}$$ is a functional of $\Phi$, the Lagrangian
$$L[\Phi(\cdot,t),\dot{\Phi}(\cdot,t),t]~=~ \int\! d^3{\bf x}~{\cal L}(\Phi({\bf x},t),\dot{\Phi}({\bf x},t),\nabla\Phi({\bf x},t),{\bf x},t)\tag{B}$$
at some instant $t$ is a functional of two independent fields $\Phi(\cdot,t)$ and $\dot{\Phi}(\cdot,t)$,
cf. my Phys.SE answers here and here. The Lagrangian density ${\cal L}$ is a (density-valued) function of its arguments.

*On one hand, for a variationally defined functional derivative (FD)
$$ \frac{\delta S[\Phi]}{\delta\Phi(x)}\tag{C} $$
to exist, appropriate boundary conditions (BCs) are necessary.
On the other hand, Compere, Iyer & Wald consider 'same-spacetime' FDs
$$ \frac{\delta {\cal L}(\Phi(x),\partial\Phi(x),\ldots,x)}{\delta\Phi(x)},\tag{D} $$
defined via their (possibly higher-order) Euler-Lagrange (EL) expressions, where BCs are irrelevant, cf. my Phys.SE answers here, here & here. (The only requirement is that ${\cal L}$ should be a sufficiently smooth function. We stress that the notation (D) becomes meaningless if interpreted as a variationally defined FD.) There is a parallel 'same-spacetime' story for the Lagrangian 4-form
$${\bf L}~=~d^4x~{\cal L}.\tag{E}$$
