Hydrographie et les eaux souterraines
Cours d'eau sur la commune ou à son aval :
 rivière l'Issole,
 vallon de Roudaï,
 vallat du Coudounier.
 Le lac Redon :
 C'est un lac dit temporaire, il est inondé seulement à certaines périodes de l'année, après de fortes pluies, puis est soumis à de longues périodes de sécheresse, le plan d'eau ressemble alors à une prairie. Le lac Redon, comme le lac de Bonne Cougne et le lac Gavoty (respectivement à Gonfaron et Besse-sur-Issole) a été cédé au conservatoire du littoral par ses propriétaires, afin de préserver cet espace unique et la flore qui l'habite. On peut citer l'Armoise de Molinier qui est l'espèce emblématique des lacs Gavoty et Redon. Ce sont les deux seuls sites connus au monde qui hébergent cette plante, découverte en 1966 par hasard.

Voies de communications et transports

Voies routières
La commune est traversée au nord par l'autoroute A8, mais ne possède que des aires de repos, Roudaï (sens Aix-Nice) et Candumy (sens Nice-Aix). Les sorties autoroutières les plus proches sont la 35 (Brignoles) sur l'autoroute A8, et la 13 (le Cannet-des-Maures) sur l'autoroute A57, toutes deux à  environ de Flassans.

La route nationale 7 traversait le centre de la ville, mais elle est désormais déviée au nord de celui-ci, l'accès au centre-ville se faisant par un rond-point et deux carrefours "à l'Indonésienne".
|
Le réseau départemental dessert la commune par les routes départementales 13 (en provenance de Besse-sur-Issole) et de Cabasse), 15 (en provenance de Forcalqueiret), 39 (en provenance de Cabasse et de Gonfaron, et 78 (en provenance de Pignans).
Il y a également la D139, ancien tronçon de la nationale 7, avant déviation, et reliant désormais une section du centre-ville reprise par la D39 à celle-ci.

Les routes D39 et D78 permettent ainsi d'explorer le massif des Maures; les D13 et D15, la vallée de l'Issole , le plateau de Thèmes et la barre de Saint-Quinis, lointains prolongements du massif de la Sainte-Baume ou l'Issole prend sa source; enfin la D13 et la D39 en direction de Cabasse permettent d'explorer le massif du Bessillon, cousin de la Sainte-Baume et lointain prolongement du massif de la Sainte-Victoire.

Histoire

Origines
Vraisemblablement, le nom provient de celui d'un propriétaire terrien de l'époque gallo-romaine possédant un domaine sur les rives de l'Issole traversant la commune. D'après Auguste Longnon, Flassans viendrait de Flaccianus, de Flaccius, personnage dont la juridiction devait s'étendre sur les lieux actuels, suivi du suffixe latin de propriété -anum.

Nous ne connaissons pas le nom gaulois indigène antérieur que ce pays devait porter.

Pourtant des fouilles ont mis au jour les preuves d'une occupation humaine très ancienne en divers endroits de son territoire, et ce, depuis les temps préhistoriques : silex de l'âge du bronze, recueillis sur les berges de l'Issole, oppidum avec céramiques et vestiges de cabanes sur la colline de Maunier, villa gallo-romaines à la Grande-Bastide, au Coudonnier, à Saint-Baillon, à Saint-André, à la Seigneurie, au Petit Campdumy, sépultures à tegulæ, pièce de pressoir à huile, urnes cinéraires, etc. en différents sites.

Il semble indubitable, d'autre part, que les domaines actuels de Pique-Roque, de Saint-Martin, de l'Aubréguière, de Rouvède, de Campagne-Neuve et autres ont succédé aux fundi (domaine agricole de l'époque gallo romaine, rassemblé autour d'une "villa") des temps gallo-romains et mérovingiens avec leurs bonnes terres et leurs sources abondantes.

Ce ne sera qu'au Moyen Âge que, à la suite des troubles et des incursions barbares ayant apporté l'insécurité, des forteresses féodales s'établiront sur des hauteurs choisies et offriront leur refuge, quand habitants de la plaine et des fermes d'alentour en sentiront le besoin. C'est ce que nous nommons aujourd'hui le Vieux-Flassans, ou "Ville",

La fin de l'Empire romain
À partir du , fin de l'Empire romain du fait du passage plus ou moins définitif des peuplades germaniques, la provincia gallo-romaine ne connut pas de gros bouleversements politiques, contrairement à d'autres parties de l'ancien Empire romain, jusqu'aux invasions sarrasines (). Mais en fait nous ne savons que très peu de choses sur la période allant du  au , sinon qu'il a dû y avoir une certaine permanence des institutions politiques issues de la période gallo-romaine (maintien du droit romain et de l'influence de l'église catholique romaine).

Concernant Flassans, jusqu'au  environ, l'habitat semble avoir été très dispersé entre les grandes propriétés foncières établies sur les lieux des anciennes fundi gallo-romaine (Pique Roque, Rouvède…).

Le haut Moyen Âge
À partir du  ou , la Provence a subi de grandes misères et de nombreux ravages et pillages. C'est certainement à cette période que les habitants de « Flacianis » se sont regroupés autour de la forteresse féodale, lieu aujourd'hui en ruine et appelé « ville » ou « Vieux Flassans ». Sur l'emplacement d'un oppidum romain, un poste de guet fut élevé au  par Hugues d'Arles pour prévenir des incursions sarrasines, qui venaient de la côte et du massif des Maures où ils s'étaient installés.

Les Templiers et les Hospitaliers

Commanderie de Peyrassol:
À l'emplacement de l'actuel domaine viticole se trouvait la maison de Peirasson. Située à environ quatre kilomètres au sud-est de Flassans, il s'agissait d'une ferme d'origine templière, dont il reste des vestiges de la chapelle, qui existait déjà au milieu du  (elle serait antérieure à 1204). La « commanderie » était constituée des vestiges d'une chapelle, de logements, d'écuries, d'une aire à battre, d'un jardin, de puits, d'une grotte, d'une magnanerie, les vestiges d'un four à pain. La production de vin y est déjà constatée.

À la maison du Temple de Peirasson s'attachaient les noms de : Bernard de Montdragon, commandeur en 1256 ; Bernard de Revel, précepteur en 1296 ; Pierre Ricavi, précepteur en 1303 ; et Raymond des Angulis en 1308.

Du  au , le domaine appartenait à la commanderie hospitalière de Beaulieu qui se trouvait sur la commune de Solliès-Pont. En 1631, le fermier reçut l'autorisation de construire un four à pain, aujourd'hui détruit. Le cadastre de 1812 ne mentionne pas la chapelle. Un puits porte la date 1891. Le domaine a subi des remaniements aux .

Du  à la Révolution
À l'époque féodale, les Pontevès furent les premiers seigneurs de Flassans. À ce titre au  ils firent agrandir le château qui devint sous Jean de Pontevés, grand sénéchal de Provence, le quartier général des catholiques provençaux. Les protestants s'en emparèrent et le démantelèrent.

La mort de la reine Jeanne I ouvre une crise de succession à la tête du comté de Provence, les villes de l'Union d'Aix (1382-1387) soutenant Charles de Duras contre Louis  d'Anjou. Mais ce dernier, entre les mauvais souvenirs qu'il a laissé lors de sa tentative de conquête en 1368 et la confusion des premières années sur la réalité de la mort de Jeanne I, ne se rallie que peu de communautés. Le village de Flassans est conquis par le parti angevin au début de la guerre (avant 1385).

À partir du , les familles de Carcès et de Simiane, ont de nombreuses possessions foncières sur la commune.

US PGA 2013: Jason Dufner wins maiden major title at Oak Hill

US PGA 2013: Jason Dufner says past failures made him stronger

Jason Dufner held his nerve to clinch his maiden major title with victory at the US PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
The 36-year-old American overhauled countryman Jim Furyk with a final-round 68 to win by two shots at 10 under.
Furyk, 43, led overnight but 71 was not good enough to add to his 2003 US Open.
Henrik Stenson was third on seven under, with fellow Swede Jonas Blixt six under. Rory McIlroy ended three under after a 70, with Lee Westwood three over after a 76.
"I can't believe this is happening to me
The enigmatic Dufner, a two-time PGA Tour winner, came closest to a major title when he squandered a five-shot lead with four to play as he lost to Keegan Bradley in a play-off for the 2011 US PGA title.
But he played imperious golf at Oak Hill on Sunday, hardly hitting a bad shot, to open his major account in upstate New York.
Dufner, who equalled the lowest score in major history with a 63 on Friday, trailed Furyk by one going into the final round, but was sharing the lead with the eight-time Ryder Cup star after a birdie on the fourth and had a two-shot gap after the ninth.
A tentative birdie putt on the 10th, followed by almost missing the next, were virtually the only outward signs of nerves - until both players bogeyed the 17th and 18th - as Dufner maintained his distance on Furyk all the way to the giant Wanamaker trophy.
"I can't believe this is happening to me," said Dufner, who is the 18th different winner in the last 20 majors.
"To come back from a couple of years ago in this championship when I lost to Keegan in the play-off, to win feels really, really good. The last two holes were a little unfortunate. I wish I could've closed out with no bogeys but I am happy to get the job done. It's a big step for my career."
Furyk (right) won his sole major at the 2003 US Open
Furyk, who won the last of his 16 titles in 2010, said: "I needed to keep the pedal down and make pars there and keep the pressure on him and I just didn't do it.
"If I could go back I would have to try to make par at 17 and 18 and try to put some heat on him."
Stenson and Blixt were bidding to become the first Swedish man to win a major title, but both had up-and-down days and carded rounds of level-par 70.
For the resurgent Stenson, who dropped from the world's top 10 to as low as 230th in early 2012, it was his fourth straight top-three finish after finishing in a tie for third at the Scottish Open, coming second in the Open and tied-second behind Tiger Woods at Firestone.
Masters champion Adam Scott began four shots adrift but was also unable to make an impression and his 70 left him five under alongside American Scott Piercy, who surged up the leaderboard with a 65.

McIlroy, who missed the cut at the Open to cap a miserable season up to then, was looking likely to miss another cut after 10 holes of his second round. But the Northern Irishman fought back well over the closing stretch to make the weekend and at six shots adrift, he had an outside chance of defending the title he won by a record eight shots at Kiawah Island last year.
The 24-year-old began in promising fashion with a birdie at the third, but a triple bogey via the water on the fifth derailed his challenge and he was always playing catch-up. He salvaged the three shots back with birdies at the ninth, 10th and 13th but a bogey on 16 knocked him back again and he finished in a tie for eighth, his first top 10 in a major this season.
McIlroy's playing partner Westwood also started three under but his 63rd major quickly turned into another without a victory. A bogey at the second and a double bogey at the third set the tone, and three more dropped shots followed to go out in 41. Birdies at 10 and 14 made some amends, but Westwood's putter problems continued and he dropped final shots at the 15th and 18th.
World number one Tiger Woods could only finish tied for 40th at four over after carding rounds of 71,70, 73, 70 - a week after shooting 61 on his way to winning the WGC-Invitational for his fifth title of the year.
The 37-year-old has now gone 18 majors and five years without a major title and will have to wait until the 2014 Masters at Augusta to try to resume his quest for a 15th victory in the tournaments which define careers.
"I've been there in half of them so that's about right. If you are going to be in there in three-quarters or half of them with a chance to win on the back nine, you have just got to get it done," said Woods.
"I was right there and certainly had a chance to win the Masters and the British this year. The other two, I just didn't hit it good enough. Just the way it goes."

Transvaginal Mesh: From Approval and Complications to Lawsuits and Settlements
Were you looking for Avaulta lawsuits?
By Jane Mundy
Transvaginal mesh, also known as pelvic mesh or TVM bladder sling, has been implanted in tens of thousands of women to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Transvaginal mesh was first approved in 1996 to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Since that time the mesh has caused tens of thousands of women to suffer serious TVM side effects, including mesh erosion, organ perforations, and chronic infections. And severe pain. Sometimes the incontinence problem the mesh was supposed to treat worsened after implant.
Some women have undergone multiple surgeries to remove the vaginal mesh, but in some cases the damage has allegedly been permanent. Sometimes the mesh has caused irreversible damage, such as nerve damage. Often the mesh cannot all be removed. In addition to surgery, treatment of complications associated with the mesh can include IV therapy, blood transfusions and drainage of hematomas or abscesses.
Transvaginal mesh is typically made of polypropylene, a synthetic material that has caused chronic foreign body reaction in many patients. This reaction begins with inflammation causing degradation of mesh and further leads to chronic infections.
Transvaginal Mesh Approval
The decision to implant mesh vaginally--such as a TVT sling procedure-- rather than inserting the mesh through abdominal incisions was never backed by clinical trials: the FDA did not require transvaginal mesh manufacturers to conduct studies on mesh products in humans before they were implanted.
The 501K clearance process costs manufacturers a user fee of $4,049, payable to the FDA. The mesh was "fast tracked "and products allowed onto the market without any advance safety testing due to a 1976 law. It classified medical devices into three risk categories, with clinical data required only for devices in the highest-risk category, Class III. TVM was classified Class II.
Transvaginal Mesh and FDA Timeline
1970-1996: Surgeons use the mesh abdominally—not vaginally-- to repair POP and SUI.
1996: ProtoGen Sling, the first transvaginal mesh sling device - manufactured by Boston Scientific for the surgical treatment of SUI—is approved through the 510(k) premarket program.
1999: ProtoGen is recalled after the FDA found the device had a "higher than expected rate of vaginal erosion" and did "not appear to function as intended." Many of the mesh devices on the market today are alleged to have been approved—and not recalled—based on this defective product.
2002: Gynemesh PS, made by Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit, is the first mesh approved for POP repair.
2004: The FDA approves transvaginal mesh "kits" to be implanted vaginally. The kits are marketed as "risk-free" solutions for SUI and POP.
2005: In the Obstetrics & Gynecology Journal safety reviewers found that more than 15 percent of transvaginal mesh patients experienced mesh erosion, which often results in pain and infections. The study concluded that surgeons should be aware of the potential complications of synthetic meshes and "Until data on the safety and efficacy of the intravaginal slingplasties are available, these procedures cannot be recommended."
2008: FDA alerts the public that TVM mesh surgeries have resulted in serious complications and even death but that complications are rare.
July 2011: FDA upgrades its warning after receiving reports of serious complications and injuries. It now says that complications are not rare and that TVM carried more risks than other surgical options.
August 2011: Consumer advocacy group Public Citizen petitions the FDA to take transvaginal mesh off the market, called it "a 'poster-child' example of the fundamental failure ... to protect the public's health and welfare."
September 2011: FDA Advisory Obstetrics-Gynecology Devices Panel suggests that TVM implants be reclassified from moderate risk to high risk (Class III), which would mean that manufacturers would have to conduct studies based on human testing.
2012: FDA orders transvaginal mesh manufacturers to study and research the risks associated with their products safety and effectiveness.
2013: FDA issues 95 post-market study orders to 34 manufacturers of POP mesh products and 14 orders to 7 manufacturers of SUI mesh.
C.R. Bard is found negligent in its handling of TVM: it didn't properly test the products (Avaulta) before putting them on the market. Johnson & Johnson's Ethicon unit stops selling four lines of vaginal mesh devices and issues an Ethicon transvaginal mesh recall of its Gynecare line of TVM products, though the company maintains that the recall is not safety related.
2014: FDA proposes two orders for transvaginal mesh POP repair to address the risks involved. Once final, manufacturers will be required to provide clinical data in a premarket approval (PMA) application to support the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh for transvaginal POP. If the orders are finalized and the mesh reclassified as a high-risk device, manufacturers will be required to submit a PMA (510k) application.
2016: FDA reclassifies transvaginal mesh products to treat POP only as Class III "High Risk Devices." The FDA requires manufacturers to submit a PMA application to support the safety and effectiveness of surgical mesh for the transvaginal repair of POP. Some advocacy groups, such as Public Citizen's Health Research Group, criticize the FDA for allowing transvaginal mesh on the market. Based on the timeline for the new orders, devices that advocates say are potentially harmful will be able to stay on the market until at least 2018 - almost 10 years after serious complications with transvaginal mesh were first reported.
July 2016: Boston Scientific adds new safety labels to its pelvic meshes and slings, saying they are considered permanent implants and that removal can be complicated or impossible.
July 2018: Deadline for transvaginal mesh manufacturers to submit a PMA application for their devices.
Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits and Settlements
More than 100,000 lawsuits have been filed against the makers of transvaginal mesh devices alleging the medical devices were defectively designed and caused serious complications. Transvaginal mesh lawsuits claim that Manufacturers/Companies:
misled the FDA, medical community and the public at large regarding the safety and efficacy of transvaginal products
failed to conduct appropriate testing and research to determine risks of surgical mesh used for female pelvic disorders
concealed knowledge that their products could cause permanent and debilitating injuries
had a legal duty to insure the safety and effectiveness of their products but provided false and misleading information
failed to establish methods that are safe and effective for removal of transvaginal mesh implants
Some lawsuits have been settled or resulted in awards to the plaintiffs, but many claims are still pending. Over 40,000 lawsuits (about 75 percent) have been filed in West Virginia federal court including seven federal multidistrict litigations (MDLs) overseen by Chief Judge Joseph R. Goodwin. The rest are in state courts. Companies involved in the MDL's include: C.R. Bard; Ethicon Inc. (Johnson & Johnson); American Medical Systems; Coloplast Corp.; Boston Scientific Group; and Cook Medical Inc.
The majority of verdicts have found in favor of victims, some of which have led to multimillion-dollar settlements. Despite Judge Goodwin warning device makers to cut their losses and urging them to settle outstanding claims, avoid massive court costs and even more losses, a few mesh manufacturers such as J&J had been reluctant to settle. Other companies opted to settle cases before trial.
American Medical Systems/ Endo Health Solutions
American Medical Systems faces approximately 46,000 lawsuits in MDL 2325. AMS was the first transvaginal mesh manufacturer to resolve its product liability cases and closed its unit that sells the devices.
To date, AMS is the only company to offer large-scale settlements to end transvaginal mesh litigation. In June 2013, American Medical Systems' parent company, Endo Health Solutions, agreed to pay $54 million to settle an undisclosed number of mesh lawsuits, and an additional $830 million in 2014. Those settlements typically involve women who have undergone one revision surgery or no revision surgeries to repair damage allegedly caused by the mesh. Women who have undergone two or more revision surgeries have not been included in the settlements so far.
Endo International acquired AMS in 2011. Endo has agreed to pay out roughly $1.5 billion to settle most of the cases claiming injuries from its vaginal mesh devices, which include the Perigee, Apogee and Elevate implants. The company has stopped making AMS transvaginal mesh.
Some of 36,000 product liability cases against Boston Scientific have gone to trial. The first federal bellwether trial to go to court resulted in an $18.5 million award to four TVM victims in November 2014. The previous month saw an award of $26.7 million against Boston Scientific regarding its Pinnacle mesh device.
A Boston Scientific settlement in September 2014 totalled $73.4 million in its Obtryx transvaginal sling lawsuit, later reduced to $34 million. Three months later a jury awarded four women a total of $18.5 million and a jury in Florida awarded another four women $26.7 million. As a result of these huge jury verdicts, Boston Scientific has moved to settle remaining cases but still faces approximately 20,000 mesh lawsuits.
The Danish medical device manufacturer Coloplast faces about 2,000 vaginal mesh lawsuits in a consolidated federal multidistrict litigation. In 2014 a $16 million settlement was reached between Coloplast and about 400 vaginal mesh plaintiffs.
C.R. Bard
New Jersey-based C.R. Bard currently faces around 10,000 in MDL 2187. Lawsuits filed against Bard involve the Avaulta transvaginal mesh. Bard is the most recent of many transvaginal mesh settlements. The company agreed to pay more than $200 million to settle 3,000 cases by women injured by Avaulta. Experts predict that most women will take the money, which works out to about $67,000 per case, rather than wait for a trial date.
A series of trials involving Bard's Avaulta lawsuits began in mid-2013. In the first case, a jury awarded the plaintiff $2 million in damages, including punitive damages. During the first day of trial in the second case, an agreement to settle was reached, avoiding another potentially substantial jury award. The third case was also settled shortly before trial was set to begin. The company has moved to settle some of the vaginal mesh lawsuits that it faces, but more than 10,000 cases remain unresolved.
In its second large-scale mesh settlement, Bard agreed to pay more than $200 million ($67,000 per case) in August 2015 to resolve an estimated 3,000 cases. Legal experts said that the payout was made to avoid a string of multi-million dollar verdicts that could lead to bankruptcy for Bard. In October 2014 Bard agreed to pay more than $21 million to settle over 500 mesh lawsuits, averaging $43,000 per claim.
In April 2016 Judge Joseph Goodwin dismissed nearly 150 product liability lawsuits brought against Bard with prejudice, meaning they cannot be appealed, writing that "all claims have been compromised and settled," according to court documents. Terms of the settlements were not disclosed.
Ethicon/Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, Ethicon faces 33,000 lawsuits in MDL 2327. Ethicon makes the Gynecare mesh products. In early 2014, Ethicon came under fire for negligently destroying thousands of documents related to the development of some of its vaginal mesh products.
In 2013, a jury ordered Ethicon to pay $11.11 million to Linda Gross for her injuries—she underwent 18 revision surgeries. Unfortunately, revision surgery doesn't guarantee that all symptoms will disappear. In September 2014, a plaintiff was awarded more than $3 million in her lawsuit against Ethicon. In March 2015, Ethicon was ordered by pay $5.7 million to plaintiff Coleen Perry, who suffered severe complications after being implanted with its TVT Abbrevo vaginal sling .
By January 2016 and after a number of plaintiff awards, J&J agreed to pay $120 million to settle 2,000-3,000 mesh lawsuits. A regulatory filing at the time showed that J&J still faced more than 42,000 mesh cases. In April a $5 million settlement recently became public, divulging how much it could cost to resolve the claims.
Medtronic/Covidien
Medtronic Inc., bought Covidien Plc in 2014 in an effort to help it compete with Johnson & Johnson. In a June 2015 SEC filing the company said that its Covidien unit was involved in nearly 11,500 mesh lawsuits. Covidien supplied the mesh to Bard, and was also included in the dismissals with Bard in 2016 (above). Medtronic set aside $180 million in 2015 to settle an undisclosed number of mesh cases.
Mentor O.B. Tape
Mentor O.B Tape vaginal sling was removed from the market in 2006 due to a design defect, just three years after its approval. After several years of litigation settlements have been reached in most Mentor OB Tape lawsuits, including a $4.4 million jury award to Florida resident Tessa Taylor in February 2016.
Neomedic
Neomedic International, a Spanish medical device maker, faces around 130 mesh lawsuits as part of a federal mass tort centralized in West Virginia. The company in December 2015 paid $2.19 million to settle an undisclosed number of mesh lawsuits.
Tissue Fixation System (TFS)
Lawsuits have been filed against Tissue Fixation System (TFS), a pelvic mesh tape that is used to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). The lawsuits allege that TFS Manufacturing Pty and TFS Surgical (US) aggressively marketed their Tensioned Mini-Sling with Anchors while exaggerating the product's safety.
The number of transvaginal mesh lawsuits has now increased to more than 100,000 in the United States, and more than 135,000 worldwide. Given the number of injured women and subsequent lawsuits, it's likely a matter of time until these mesh devices are permanently taken off the market.

I secured an attorney to represent me and my mesh case. We were at the November mediation in W. Virginia along with many other women and attorneys.
My attorney supposedly came to an agreement with Bard, however, I still have not received anything in writing to confirm the agreement and the compensation.
I am concerned my attorney has not represented me in an acceptable manner.
Can I secure another attorney?
Michelle Jamieson
My name is Michelle I have been having abdominal cramps servers for 3years to the point it effects me daily ,I have other medical issues as well fibromyalgia being one,I have been blaming the mesh and never had cramps during any periods I have had in my life for about 6 years they have been getting worse.I have been from Dr. To Dr. And no one has a answer to why ,I have been through ALL kinds of tests over and over No Answers,it must be fibromyalgia ,I don't believe it is .I had my mesh put in during 2004 and the sling in 2006 when I still had bladder leakage .I have NEVER in my life called 911 with these cramps til last Tuesday June 20 ,2017 I woke up and the cramps were so bad I couldn't drive .when the E.M.T took my blood pressure I was 180/90.I'm always 120/70 .the more I move the worse it gets ,in the hospital they did blood work ,blood desire and kept me to manage pain ,it's been a week and they are getting a lot stronger again.I have to go into operating room with the Dr. That put in mesh an sling with a general surgeon to see what is happening.it hit me the other day that I have been sent to a cancer Dr.twice in 18 months my white blood cells went from 13.6,15.7,17.8 no one mentioned a infection in my body I'm guessing if not cancer and they can't find a problem it must be the mesh and sling .Has anyone had the same problem? All I know is when I go in O.R I went these devices out sick of years of cramping ,these are worse than when my appendix came out 2 hours after cramps
most of you are lucky i cant find a dr to do anything i have constant pain i take medication for pain and to relax my bladder but nothing is wrong right. The doc that put mine in waited just long enough laughed and told me to sue him and quit treating me. No one else will go behind him because they dont see it as life threatening yet. But they dont feel the pain Im in on a daily basis

The hideous head scratcher:
Regardless of the manufacturer's name, the multiple injuries, the suffering of the women involved with these class action monetary awards.... We each will be lucky to be paid $50 or less... someday.
One more slap in the face.
Pelvic pain frequent burning throbbing intense hot flashes not to mention no intercourse because of pain and they wanna send me to a gynacologists who knows nothing of repairing the damage thats done. No doctors in St. Louis area know how to fix the problem. And yet no date set for trial hummmm makes me wonder whats going on what`s the holdup Ethicon??? You destroyed records you knew would help us. We are the victims here while you keep getting a slap on the wrist and keep producing products that don`t work. You should be shamed and I can`t wait for my date in court with you all.

I had mesh put in during a hysterectomy in 2003. I have had nothing but problems ever since! I dont know what has been worse, the daily pain that makes life so hard that if I didnt have my kids and husband I honestly would rather die ! OR that since complications from the first surgery back in 03 led to severl more surgeries over just the next few weeks that at the age of 30, having never before even taking 1 pain pill in my life, i became addicted to pain pills which led to severe opiate addiction. I tried , unseccesfully for years to get help for addiction and now am a heroin addict. I have been to jail and am currently on probation. Before this I owned my own business and was a single mother doing very well taking care of myself and kids. Now I am looked at as a no good , loser drug addict. And to add insult to injury I have begged for help from my doctors but no matter how bad my pain is and how permanent it is, NONE of my doctors will help me with any pain managment so im left with no choice but to self medicate. Please dont judge me, I have tried and still trying to get help the right way and am having my next surgery in 2 weeks. I have had 2 open wounds in pelvic area where mesh is hanging out of my body for 2 years now that drain infection and urine 24 hours a day. I have 2 holes in my urethria that doctors said they cannot fix EVER that I will leak pee forever. I have constant UTIs. I have not slept well in 10 years because all night every night even if I do fall asleep, I wake up 1 to 2 times at a minimum to pee. No sleep = terrible days! I could go on and on listing the pain and the problems from this mesh both physical and emotional but I think I got my point across. This mesh has definatly made my life a NIGHTMARE!!!
To all comments,
I was told that no other specialist but a Urogynecologist should be messing with the mesh. Not all specialist are trained to remove this type of mesh and since it has decided to became a part of us. It needs to be treated with kid gloves.
I have heard of one of these specialist in the Orlando florida area that Im looking at very closely to get mine removed, but Im gun shy so I will be doing a lot of research!
Thanks FDA for making our lives like a living hell! You knew there was not enough research being done on this and you put it out anyway! And still have it out on the shelves with a warning label??? REALLY!!!!
The manufactures should just have the same surgery as ours being told as they told the doctors how great it is and will make like so easier and see what hell they have to live with.
Better yet just ask them if they would put one inside their body! I guarantee you they would say no!!!
LA. Wife
After having my 3rd son I fought incontinence for a couple of years, always peeing on myself in most all circumstances. My relationship with my husband suffered because I was always concerned about a possible smell so I decided to have the sling surgery, I was given NO warnings just a simple surgery well after that my problems only got worst and over the following year the sling started to prolapse severely. I could not even think about intercourse and still had to wear a pad all the time. well I had to have corrective surgery and when did they replaced that sling with another recalled one and it did the same with even worst side effects. I suffered, my family suffered, my career as a nurse suffered, my kids suffered. until I had to have another surgery to fix the last one and since then for the pas t3 years I have been better. This has been the worst years of my family's life and my pain is put behind me now.

Hi, in 2008 Dr. S & Dr. P performed {according to my ppwk} a TVT SECUR then a bilateral iliococcygeal fixation w/mesh placement, anterior & posterior colpoperineorrhaphy w/cystoscopy.
After that surgery, I had so many problems. I never stopped bleeding. I was bleeding through my rectum, I always hurt during sex. I kept having to go back to Dr S because there was one place that she kept saying that just would not heal. She would cauterize it. Finally after about 1 1/2 I finally went to another Dr because it seemed I just was not getting any help from her. This new Dr removed it right away. That was in I think 2009/2010.
To this day I still bleed from a spot that has not healed. I have over the yrs had that same spot cauterized to no avail. I was told last year there isn't any skin in that area left to cauterized. I made an appt last week with another Dr, she said she think she sees a piece of mesh still left, so I have an appt for next month set up to have it looked at. So this has been going on for 7 yrs.
I was very upset to know a Doctor would gut me open and poison my body . As a mother of 3, 1 grand daughter and a wonderful marriage of 25 years I wish this had Never happened. And now to learn that a judge of the United States of America has be Ignored by Billion Dollar Coporations that payed Doctors to Slaughter my body as if I was a test dummies, better yet a Guinea Pig for profit is a Crime. Not Only the Doctors ,but the CEO's, Head of FDA , and lets not forget Hospitals , should be Prosecuted and send the prison . The law states that when a Crime has been committed and you are found guilty then you go to prison or executed. Because Billions of dollars are on hand then it's an excuse to comment a crime . Well 5 .7 million is not by any means enough per women to cover up a excuse of this Size. These Corporation have billions in insurance to cover lawsuits of this statue. Attorneys need to stop pretending this is not a major problem. The asbestos and cigarettes lawsuits slaughtered people live their's no difference. I want 1 Billion Dollars from Johnson and Johnson (ethicon) , The Hospital, The Doctors and Medical Association and their Administration, The Polypropylene maker that decided to design such a product (knowing) it was never meant for a human because the way it was designed. The Investors that believed in this lie. And Last but not lest The United State Government . You all (know)willingly Vaginal Mesh products was a Hindus Crime .And you All have to Pay in full. Remember What Goes Around Comes Around. Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you. Your Time is Up !!!!
Mesh erosion and issues with intercourse.
I have been suffering from serve UTIs for a long time. I have recently had three in the past two months. My doctor is now refering me to a urologist to have this checked out to see if it is the mesh sling.
I HAD THE TRANSVAGINAL MESH SLING INSERTED IN 2005, AND WAS NEVER TOLD OF ANY RISKS. IT HAS BEEN 9 YEARS, AND NOW THE MESH HAS EMBEDDED ITSELF IN MY PUBIC BONE, CAUSING INFLAMMATIN AND SEVERE PAIN. I HAVE HAD STEROIID INJECTIONS AND ALSO TAKE PAIN KILLERS.
\MY MESH SLING WAS MADE BY JOHNSON&JOHNSON, THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR RUINGING THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF WOMEN. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THE CEO'S OF THIS COMPANY WERE AWARE OF THE RISKS INVOLVED IN THIS MESH BUT PUT IT ON THE MARKET ANYWAY.
i had a hysterectomy in June 05. I have slight incontinence and the recommended a mesh sling. A year later i would wake up with a burning pain in my pelvic area, then i started getting bladder infections. A cystoscopy was done, the urologist insisted nothing was wrong with the sling. Xrays now show the mesh has embedded itself in my pubic bone and it would be impossible to remove. I have pelvic pain daily, take pain medicine and am getting steroid injections.
This has been an emotional and physical nightmare. it is the biggest regret of my life because it cannot be undone, it will be a problem the rest of my life. The FDA should not allow such a high risk device to be put in the human body, anyone who has the sling is never out of danger.
In 2006 I had a partial hysterectomy & a bladder sling put in. I had to have emergency surgery the next day for bleeding out. I was sent home 3 days later. I started having severe pain 4. Days later, I was rushed to the emergency room & admitted, they did all kind of year tests including ct scans everyday which looked like trash bags filled with air then tied into knots. I was then flown to BJC in St. Louis, 12 hours later they. Were rushing me to surgery, breathing for me, after 16 hours in the o.r., they told my husband they had no excuse as to why I was still alive. I lost all but 14 1\2 " of. Intestines, I'm now permanently. On TPN to feed me and keep me alive this is all because of organ prolapse from NY bladder along I had put in in 06. Don't get this surgery it will ruin your life, it sure did mine.
My life has begin too fall apart. I walk with a cane. I have no collagen lefted in my stomach. Everyday I wish I could Died. Vaginal mesh is the worst product know to the human race. The FDA ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN. THE FDA SHOULD BE SUED!!!!!
I have had lower pain/discomfort in my abdomen ever since I had the mesh/sling, just always thought it was normal...didn't realize it wasn't until a friend saw the add on TV and told me that I should check into this.
I have constant discomfort in the lower abdomen and lower back, and part of the mesh has torn away and caused a hole in my cervix. I am now scheduled for surgery to remove the exposed mesh and repair the hole, hopefully. Have been told that ongoing problems may occur.
There is unremitting pain in the area of my urethra. This pain limits the sexual act between my husband and me, prevents me from walking, riding a bike, or just sitting comfortably. There has also been constant bloody discharge from the area around my urethra.
No sex since surgery in 2005 (too painful), therefore, no relationships. Leakage, urgency, slow stream, UTI's, bladder infections, trouble emptying, discharge/infections, pain when sitting or walking at times. My doctor said that the type of mesh I received cannot be removed.
cutting excrutiating pain when standing and walking, couldn't void so had to self catheterize until 4 months after procedure when mesh had eroded through the urethra making it impossible to thread catheter, have not been able to have sex with husband since procedure 7 years ago.
frequent back, abdomen and vaginal pain. Daily vaginal discharge and pain/pressure during urination and painful intercourse.
If I am not taking an antibiotic on a daily basis, I will develop a urinary tract infection. Have had a second surgery to loosen the tape because it prevents me from being able to empty my bladder. Second surgery was unsuccessful so I am scheduled to see a specialist at MUSC on August 17th to determine a new course of action, which may include removal of the sling.

My sweet Cotton Candy was so lovely ( it happens sometimes that they surprise you with being extra sweet and thoughtful). She was browsing through Pinterest for crafting and baking ideas and saw a tutorial for teddy bear cookies. " Mama I must make these for Bubble Gum for her first day of school, she would love them!". As you may well know her little sister is a teddy bear lover. And a must is a must. Who am I to tell her no. So I helped her bake them the night before and they turned out so cute ( I even shot a video tutorial for her own use and we had so much fun). Her sister had them waiting for her after her first day of school. Although they were presented in the morning so she knew she had something cute and cozy waiting for her at home. I thought they were so adorable you may also want to make them. Ours did not turn out quite as firm and small as the ones in the original recipe so I thought it´s probably a good idea to cool the dough before baking and perhaps even again after the cookies are made in to teddies before they go to the oven. Also we flattened the ears and the nose a little. I would perhaps not flatten the nose at all. It looks funny when raw but while it´s baking it flattens enough naturally. Regardless of our little mistakes they turned out so cute and delicious. But these would definitely be yummy also made from a healthier oatmeal cookie recipe ( I think we will try this recipe next, it would be great for a breakfast cookie to grab on the go too). This one was very sweet ( and buttery) but delicious. We used chocolate chips as the eyes and the tip of the nose, not m&m´s as the recipe calls for but I think next time I´ll try this with a healthier recipe and with raisins as the eyes and nose. The how to and recipe is from here.
Cotton Candy is the crafting queen of my family. She seems to always be browsing through Pinterest or YouTube for new things to craft. This time it was a confetti bowl.
You need a balloon, mod podge, a sponge, confetti and a vase or a glass to hold it while it dries. First you blow the balloon and cover the round side with mod podge for a bowl shaped area with your sponge. Then you add confetti all over in abundance. Then you put another layer of mod podge on top and leave it to dry overnight on the vase or glass. Then the next day you just break the balloon and you have a bowl! Quite easy!

Q: Does the map $f:\emptyset\longrightarrow \{0\}$ exist? What function $f$ maps in the following way:
$$f:\emptyset\longrightarrow \{0\}$$

A: The only subset of the cartesian product $\,\emptyset\times X\;,\;\;X$ any set, is the only function $\,\emptyset\to X\,$

A: There is exactly one such function, which is the empty set.
Explanation:
By definition, functions $f : A \to B$ are certain subsets of the cartesian product $A\times B$ (for the defining property, see below). You can imagine this definition as identiying $f$ with its graph.
In your case, $A = \emptyset$, $B = X$ and $A \times B = \emptyset \times X = \emptyset$, whose only subset is the empty set.
The defining property is that for every $a\in A$ there is a unique element of $f$ having $a$ as its first component. In our case $f = \emptyset$, this condition is vacuously true.

Eating healthily is a major issue for many Americans, especially during the holiday season. meets the federal fruit and vegetable requirement, according to a study published last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly. More than of adults in the United States have obesity, which can cause heart disease, stroke and Type 2 diabetes, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics.
But the future of digital nutrition and dieting apps is rapidly evolving, giving consumers a plethora of options for managing their diet and exercise.
Dr. Kyra Bobinet, a physician and author who specializes in behavior change and design thinking, compares losing weight to going on a journey, and sees apps as a sort of helper.
Today there are thousands of dieting and nutrition apps available on Google Play store and the iOS App Store to help with the weight loss journey. But dieting apps aren't new; they have assisted dieters for close to a decade. Most of these early offerings started as basic food and exercise trackers. However, studies showed that many of these basic apps did little in the way of actually changing behavior. Eventually the apps began to evolve and include other data points, such as blood pressure and heart rate.
Some of the early pioneers in this space struggled to stay afloat in an ever changing environment — for example, Weight Watchers. The well-known weight loss company launched its mobile app in 2009, but it quickly began feeling pressure from competitors, and at one point many thought it was heading out of business. The company also began sending text messages to users, an interactive process that other companies also went on to use later on down the road. But with even more free apps flooding the market, it was again forced to reinvent itself and in 2015 launched a new program called Beyond the Scale, as well as an app called FitBreak. This program expanded physical activity offerings, rather than limiting its support to "dieting and restriction," and began integrating a social media element.
Social media appears to be one of the ways of the future as many apps are becoming interactive and connecting people in online communities. These communities can be key to people who have lost weight and are looking to maintain, said Bobinet.
Today, apps are pairing these early strategies with novel technologies to give users new, interactive ways to track food and connect to communities.
San Francisco-based , for instance, is using augmented reality and artificial intelligence to help dieters. Users start by choosing an initial diet and preferences. The AI then begins to calculate what food and diet is best for the individual.
The app lets user point their phones at thousands of restaurant menus. The app will then overlay the menu, highlighting an item that is good for the user based on their specific goals, biology, or preferences.
"It's like Pokémon Go for food," said Shai Rozen, CMO and cofounder of Suggestic.
A chatbot helps users plan weekly meals and also makes suggestions at over 500,000 restaurants across the United States.
Suggestic, which was founded in 2014, was the winner of Health 2.0's Launch! 2017 competition. In the future, the company plans to grow the number of restaurants that they track and get the app to Android devices (currently it is only available on iPhones). The company also lets users select certain diet styles, such as Mediterranean or vegan.
"We create suggestions to guide the person to a right decision before they make it," said Rozen.
Boston-based also aims to make food more tailored to individual needs. The app, which connects to smartphones and devices, lets users set goals and then tracks food and exercise. The company was founded in 2008, making it one of the early apps in the space.
But the company has been innovating on that app. It recently launched a DNA-based product with Helix, called embodyDNA, that provides information on predispositions to 19 traits related to nutrition, weight loss, fitness, sensitivities, and tastes.
"We think DNA sequencing is an emerging area for weight loss because it is going to give people more insight into specific personal things that matter to them," Kevin McCoy, senior vice president of business development at Lose It!, told Babyforyou.net.ua.
Lose It! can then give users recommendations based on their DNA results. Other Helix-partnered products have been met with some because of the questionable usefulness of the suggestions given. McCoy, however, said that this technology seems to be the way of the future.
Much like Suggestic, Lose It! also has a visual component where users can snap a photo of their food and receive nutrition information from the app, McCoy said.
There app also includes communities, a food database, and weight projections.
"I think the main message for everybody is that although everything is new and cutting edge, understanding your calorie intake is going to be the most successful thing. There really is no magic pill. You can track what you eat or be mindful of what you eat," McCoy said.
Still, manually recording caloric intake can be an off-putting burden for many. Anticipating this, wearable has the ability, the company claims, can automatically measure calorie intake through a wearer's skin.
According to Healbe's website, after the user's food digests, as the glucose concentration rises, the cells absorb it with water. Then, GoBe2 uses a bioimpededance sensor that sends high and low frequency signals throughout the skin to determine the movement of this fluid and track calories, according to the company's webpage. The dynamics of extracellular fluid can estimate how many calories were consumed and the quantities of fats proteins and carbohydrates. The device also gives consumers a graph showing their metabolic processes and how many calories they digested each day.
The product, which originally came on the market in 2014, was met with mixed among tech blogs and reports, including skepticism about whether it does what it says it does. But many of these same publications say that if the calorie counting technology works, it would be groundbreaking.
One of the most unconventional new food-related technologies doesn't require diners to count calories — simply because there are no calories to count. offers a virtual reality meal that stimulates each of the five senses. The platform uses an aromatic diffuser to dissipate the smell of various foods; a visual reality headset to give users the visual cues of a particular setting; a bone conduction transducer which mimics the chewing sounds from the diner's mouth to ear drum and bones; a gyroscopic utensil which translates the user's movement into virtual reality; a virtual cocktail with a vessel for beverages which creates simulated intoxication; and a 3D-printed food which mimics the taste, texture, and consistency of real food.
The company said this project could help individuals with eating-related struggles, such as allergies, diabetes, stroke, or dysphasia. It can also be used as as a form of therapy for patients with eating disorders to build healthy habits. Outside of health reasons, it could be used for remote dining, so that couples in long distant relationships can virtually share a meal.
A recent study published by the of Finland found that VR immersion had significant impact on the brain and consumers' evaluation of the pleasantness of their eating situation and emotional responses. Sixty-seven participants ate healthy and unhealthy food in three different environments: a blank control room and two VR environments, a sunny day and a rainy day. The participants found chocolate more appealing during the rainy picinic, despite no sensory differences in participants evaluation of the food in different conditions. The researchers concluded that VR could be an opportunity to for AR and VR to increase the attractiveness of healthy food.
None of these technologies is likely to be for everyone, Bobinet said. One person might have a lot of confidence in his or her fitness and like a "snarky" and deprecating app, whereas that same app could be devastating for someone without the same level of confidence in their fitness. Similarly, someone who doesn't mind looking a little zany might be an ideal user of something like Zombies, Run!, where users are prompted to start running away from zombies. Above all, Bobinet said, users shouldn't be discouraged when one strategy fails, but should instead be open to trying out new approaches.

Leiper, Fanny
Nicole S. Ribianszky
free woman of color, property holder, and washerwoman, was born into slavery in Natchez, Mississippi. The exact date of her birth is not now known. She was born to an enslaved woman, Hannah Frey, and to J. S. Miller, a white planter who lived outside of Natchez near the small town of Washington. Mrs. Margaret Overaker, a white woman, and her husband, George, owned Leiper and her mother. While Leiper was still a young girl, her mother was manumitted, but Leiper herself remained enslaved. Sometime around 1831, when Leiper was approximately twenty or twenty-one, she was freed, reportedly at the insistence of her father, who paid her owner $300. In 1834 or thereabouts, following the instructions of her white father, she was taken by boat up the Mississippi River to Cincinnati, Ohio, in the footsteps of her mother.
As was the case with ...
Wells, Nathaniel
Son of a slave and a wealthy planter on St Kitts, Wells became a major landowner in Monmouthshire, South Wales, and Britain's first black sheriff. He was probably the wealthiest black person in the country at the time.
His father, William Wells (1730–94), left Cardiff with his brother Nathaniel for St Kitts to make his fortune in the sugar and slave trade in about 1749. He married a wealthy widow in 1753, Elizabeth Taylor née Fenton. She bore William two children, who died in infancy, before she herself died in 1759. Subsequently William fathered at least six children with various slaves, one of whom, Nathaniel, was born on 10 September 1779, the son of Juggy, his African house slave. He was baptized on 3 March 1783 at Trinity Church Palmetto Point By the age of 9 wells was living in London with ...

MIAMI, FL, Sporting Alert – Here is the Argentina 23-man final team roster for the 2016 Copa America tournament in the United States from June 3-26.
There are doubts over whether Lionel Messi will be available for the start tournament, after the Barcelona forward left last Friday's friendly international contest against Honduras in the 64th minute with back pains.
It was later revealed that he has suffered from a deep lumbar hematoma.
The 28-year-old revealed this week that those pains have been slowly decreasing, but it is still uncertain as to whether he would be ready in time for his country's opening group match against Chile on June 6, which is a rematch of the 2015 Copa America final.
Also included in the star-studded Argentine squad are Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero, Napoli FC's Gonzalo Higuain, Nicolas Gaitan of Benfica and Paris Saint-Germain attacker Angel Di Maria.
The heavy weighted midfield list includes Barcelona's Javier Mascherano, Sevilla Ever Banega, Lucas Biglia of Lazio and Javier Pastore of Paris Saint-Germain.
English Premier League defenders Nicolas Otamendi of Manchester City and Marcos Rojo from Manchester United are also listed in the squad, with Manchester United backup keeper Sergio Romero also securing a place.
Missing out are Geronimo Real Sociedad goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, Enzo Perez of Valencia, Boca Juniors forward Carlos Tevez, defender Ezequiel Garay of Zenit St. Petersburg and Manchester United centre-back Martin Demichelis.
Argentina will play in Group D of the tournament against with Chile, Bolivia, and Panama.

MASSIVE: The line-up on Fraser Island for vehicles wanting to return to Inskip Point at about midday on Tuesday. Luke James
Camping boom as family holiday makes massive comeback
by Scott Sawyer
4th Jan 2018 5:00 AM
A RESOUNDING resurgence in camping and glamping spurred on by glorious, festive sunshine has seen the region packed to the brim with families turning to traditional holidays.
By midday Tuesday the line of vehicles queued up to return to Inskip Point from Fraser Island stretched for kilometres, while campers have flocked to popular Cotton Tree Holiday Park, already booking it out for the Australia Day long weekend.
The family holiday renaissance has excited the region's tourism boss.
Visit Sunshine Coast CEO Simon Latchford said it was clear the demand was rising for camping facilities across the region, as consumers demanded "authenticity" for their holidays.
He predicted the continued rise of technology and the pressures it placed on the population to spur on the camping boom as families looked to switch off and reconnect with each other.
"Regardless of the demographic, more and more people are saying 'let's go to Fraser Island, let's go to Cotton Tree and get back in touch with the family'," Mr Latchford said.
SUMMER TIME: Cotton Tree on a perfect summer's day has proven hugely popular again this festive season. John McCutcheon
He believed Sunshine Coast Council could do well to invest in more camping facilities around the region.
"More and more people are getting back to the grass roots," he said.
"It's all about customer demand."
The 2017-18 council budget showed Sunshine Coast Holiday Parks generated more than $15.2 million worth of income in camping fees and charges.
Cotton Tree Holiday Park manager Natalie Hammill said they were full yet again this year right through until the end of the holidays.
She believed there was a couple of key factors driving the return to popularity of camping holidays.
"It's all about families," Ms Hammill said.
"If money's tight it's still affordable."
She agreed technology was another huge factor as parents sought ways to disconnect their kids from the digital world and reconnect with family and the outdoors.
The boom has taken a toll on some areas though, as masses of people flock to Double Island Point.
Surfrider Foundation Sunshine Coast president Craig Macintyre said earlier this week that busy days at Double Island left plenty of devastation behind, as tonnes of rubbish was left on beaches and dunes as well as marine debris.
He said makeshift toilets were also being flushed through the camp zone and onto the beach during heavy rain.
Davo's Tackle World Noosa manager Adam Neilson said they'd been doing an "absolutely awesome" trade this holidays, with business booming for two weeks prior to Christmas and throughout the festive period.
He said Noosa North Shore was proving as popular as ever and Teewah Beach "looked like a city" when he was up there one night recently.
"It was standing room only," he said.
Mr Neilson said they'd sold through masses of ice and "tonnes of bait" and the mackerel were biting hard for keen anglers.
He said the cracking holiday weather had delivered a boost to neighbouring business Davo's Boating and Outdoors, which was also revelling in the increased trade.
It's not just the beach which is proving popular, with Seqwater injecting up to $500,000 towards further upgrades of the popular Borumba Dam camping grounds.
Work will begin at the end of the month on refurbishment of the camp ground facilities with a new site office and upgrade of existing shower and toilet blocks to be carried out by local contractor Infraco.
The second stage of the Borumba Dam boat ramp upgrade was finished prior to the Christmas holidays for the camp site which attracted more than 97,000 people in the last financial year.

No. 6 LSU tops No. 8 Florida, becomes SEC's lone unbeaten
By Zach BarnettOct 17, 2015, 10:58 PM EDT
Even when he has big play offensive talent like Leonard Fournette and Malachi Dupre in his employ, you just know, in a big night game on his personal buffet line known as Tiger Stadium, Les Miles was going to pull it out with a trick play. With the game knotted at 28-28 and 10:40 showing on the clock, LSU lined up for what appeared to be a 30-yard field goal on a 4th-and-13. But instead of placing the pigskin on its end, holder Brad Kragthorpe cocked and fired to kicker Trent Domingue, who bobbled and eventually caught the ball, then outran the Florida defense for what proved to be a game-winning 16-yard touchdown run, pushing No. 6 LSU past No. 8 Florida, 35-28 Saturday night in Baton Rouge.
The win pushed LSU to 7-0 (4-0 SEC) on the season, and, coupled with Texas A&M's loss to Alabama earlier in the day, left the Bayou Bengals standing as the SEC's final undefeated team.
Domingue's touchdown was LSU's only points of the second half, fending off a rally that saw Florida fight back from a 28-14 halftime deficit and nearly tie the game again at 35-35.
LSU earned that halftime edge through big plays on the ground from Fournette and multiple connections from Brandon Harris to Dupree. Fournette carried 15 times for 100 yards and touchdowns from six and two yards out, and Harris found Dupree four times for 115 yards and two scores, including a 50-yarder with just 15 seconds left before the half.
Florida battled back with a two-yard Kelvin Taylor plunge, capping a 10-play, 66-yard drive that consumed more than five minutes, and a 72-yard punt return by Antonio Calloway with 1:04 remaining in the third quarter.
Florida opened the scoring on a four-yard pass from Treon Harris, earning his first of many starts in place of suspended signal caller Will Grier, to tight end Jake McGee on fourth-and-goal from the four at the 10:13 mark of the third quarter. Harris also hit McGee for a 19-yard score to pull the Gators within 21-14 with 1:35 left in the first half.
Florida had an opportunity to tie the game with seven minutes remaining as Harris initially nailed Calloway with what appeared to be a 35-yard touchdown pass, but Calloway was unable to hang on after a hit from an LSU defender. That dropped proved to be Florida's final chance.
For the game, Harris completed 17-of-32 throws for 271 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions while also adding 20 rushing yards.
Fournette continued his Heisman campaign by piling up 180 yards and two touchdowns on 31 carries to go with one reception for 15 yards. Brandon Harris played perhaps his best game of the year in completing 13-of-19 passes for 202 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions
LSU out-rushed Florida 221-55 on the night, pushing Miles's mark to 61-0 at LSU while rushing for at least 100 yards while holding his opponent below the century mark.
LSU hosts Western Kentucky next week and then takes the following weekend off before an all-important trip to Alabama on Nov. 7. Florida, meanwhile, still controls its own destiny in the SEC East, and will take next week off before a trip to Jacksonville to face Georgia on Oct. 31. A win there all but wraps up a trip to Atlanta for Jim McElwain's Gators where, perhaps, they'll get another shot at these Tigers.

Fournette charges No. 6 LSU to halftime lead over No. 8 Florida
By Zach BarnettOct 17, 2015, 8:49 PM EDT
Leonard Fournette is doing Leonard Fournette things, both supposedly limited quarterbacks are making big plays in the passing game, and No. 6 LSU holds a 28-14 lead over No. 8 Florida at the break in Baton Rouge.
After LSU punt returner Tre'Davious White put the ball on the Les Miles buffet line that is the Tiger Stadium turf at his own 13, Florida punched in an early touchdown on a five-yard Treon Harris run at the 10:13 mark of the first quarter.
That score held through the first quarter, but LSU (and, specifically, Fournette) dominated the second frame. Fournette posted touchdown runs from two and six yards out, sandwiching a nine-yard strike from Brandon Harris to Malachi Dupree, pushing the Bayou Bengals from a 7-0 deficit to a 21-7 lead with 2:25 before the half.
Harris responded, though, moving the Gators 80 yards in four plays and 44 seconds, highlighted by a 12-yard run, a 48-yard strike to Antonio Calloway and a 19-yard scoring toss to Jake McGee. For the half, Harris, playing for the suspended Will Grier, hit 9-of-11 throws for 115 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Gators on the ground with 19 yards on eight carries.
Not content to take a 21-14 lead into the locker room, LSU moved 75 yards in five plays to push the lead back to 14. Fittingly, the drive used the same three players that created the Tigers' first three touchdowns. Fournette rushed for gains of five and 14 and a loss of three, and Harris nailed Dupree for a five-yard connection and a 50-yard scoring bomb to push the score to 28-14 with 15 seconds remaining.
Fournette rushed 15 times for 100 yards and two touchdowns, Harris hit 10-of-12 throws for 189 yards and two touchdowns, and Dupre totaled four grabs for 115 yards and those two scores.
LSU will receive to open the second half.

Flu-stricken Will Grier has 4 TDs and Gators up 25-0 on Ole Miss
By Kevin McGuireOct 3, 2015, 8:35 PM EDT
A week after a thrilling come-from-behind victory over Tennessee, the No. 25 Florida Gators are once again proving it may be difficult for teams to come into The Swamp and leave with a win. No. 3 Ole Miss is having a real tough time getting the offense going after being held scoreless in the first half. Florida leads the Rebels 25-0 at the break.
It was unknown if he was going to play this week due to the flu but Florida quarterback Will Grier has played very well, completing nine of 12 pass attempts for 161 yards and three touchdowns in the first half for the Gators. The first was a 36-yard pass to Demarcus Robinson in the first quarter.
Ole Miss fumbled away the ensuing possession two plays later, and Grier once again connected for a touchdown pass, this time a much shorter pass to tight end Jake McGee for a quick 13-0 lead after a misses extra point attempt. Grier's third pass was a 77-yard pass to Robinson. Late in the half Grier orchestrated a wonderful touchdown drive with little time to work, masterfully using the sidelines to his advantage with his receivers. Antonio Callaway caught a pass over the middle and got some good blocking as he found room to get in to the end zone for one last forts-half score. Grier is no the first Florida quarterback to toss four first-half touchdowns since Chris Leak did so in 2005.
We'll see if Ole Miss can find itself on offense, but it might be safe to say Florida's defense is still one of the best in the SEC. Picking up court touchdowns against this defense will be no easy task, even for Ole Miss.
