Upstream Pumping: How is Trelleborg adapting to the climate of lower oil prices?
Managing Director of Trelleborg Offshore UK Limited
"What the change in the market has done … is really made us question conventional wisdom."
"With the oil price situation over the last 18 months, I just think there's an increased appetite for having those conversations … conversations around what's actually needed rather than what's always been done."
"It's about trying to work smarter up and down the value chain. To do that requires collaboration and two-way conversations."
"We're in an inherently conservative industry, and rightly so. When something goes wrong, it can be catastrophic. … I'm not suggesting quality or safety standards should be compromised. It's paramount that they should be maintained."
"We're working very hard to make sure that we maintain our investment in people."
Upstream Pumping: How has the industry changed in the past few years, and how is Raven Lining Systems preparing for the future?
President of Raven Lining Systems
"During the past several years, the key was to find and produce as much crude oil as fast as possible. This led to a supply chain and labor market that was overheated. … One unique development is that some of the bigger companies are gearing up to do their own service work for maintenance and secondary containment rather than subcontracting. They expect to be able to save money by rationalizing their supply chains going into the next boom, so they can improve the bottom line."
"In the coming years, environmental regulations will continue to get tougher."
"Sustainable polyurea secondary containment solutions will continue to grow rather than earth and clay or polyethylene sheet liners."
"We will see an increased awareness and demand for sustainable bio-preferred solutions."
"Raven Linings Systems recently earned the USDA Certified Biobased Product Label for two products."

By The Esk
It's approaching the end of the season and for most fans the close season stretches ahead with a minimum of 2 months without competitive football.
The void can be filled somewhat by the goings on in the transfer window, and as all Evertonians are hoping we will strike early, bring in some key targets and remove those player's surplus to requirements, out of contract and even those no longer wishing to be part of the Moshiri/Koeman project.
Transfer activity is not only determined by how much cash the club has available to spend but regulated by Premier League rules on increases in wages, and now as we re-enter European competition, Financial Fair Play regulations by everyone's friends UEFA.
Therefore, I thought it useful to cover the various regulations relating to spending and profitability.
Let's start with the Premier League regulations.
There's two main regulations, Short Term Cost Control (STCC) designed to hold back the increase in player wages, and Profitability and Sustainability regulations providing a cap on the maximum losses permitted by a Premier League Club.
Short Term Cost Control:
Rules E.18, E.19 and E.20 cover the STCC. Essentially they permit clubs to increase wages year on year by a maximum of £7m p.a. covering the three seasons 2016/17 through to 2018/19. There is however scope to increase wages using "club own revenue uplift"
Club own revenue uplift (CORU) includes all increases in revenues other than broadcasting revenue, so includes match day, commercial/sponsorship and importantly player trading profits.
For Everton, this means the following increase in permitted wages:
|Season 2016/17
|£91 million
|plus CORU
|Season 2017/18
|£98 million
|plus CORU
|Season 2018/19
|£105 million
|plus CORU
So, what does that mean in terms of increase in wages for next season? We're going to have several improved contracts, Davies and Coleman for example. We have contract offers out to Lukaku and Barkley (assuming both stay) and I'm sure there'll be other players rewarded for their efforts this season.
In terms of reducing player costs, we are clearly going to be selling several players, and not renewing contracts for some.
We've also then got to look at incoming players – this summer is widely expected to be our most active for many a year.
Finally, we need to look at the level of CORU – i.e. how much does our non-broadcasting revenues increase by? Match day revenues will be flat, commercial revenues may see a small increase and we're bound to see increases in sponsorship revenues firstly from USM's sponsorship of Finch Farm but also the new shirt sponsorship deal.
I would therefore estimate CORU to be in the region of £10 million before player trading profits.
Looking at outgoing players there's wage savings and potential transfer profits from the following players:
- Likely/confirmed departures: Deulofeu, McGeady, Cleverly, Kone, Stekelenburg, Niasse, Valencia, McAleny and Garbutt.
- Possible departures: Mirallas, McCarthy, Funes Mori, Barry, Lukaku & Barkley
The scope therefore for wage savings transferred to new recruits is huge – I'd estimate a range of between £15 million and £30 million depending upon who leaves.
In terms of profits on outgoing players, again the figures seem to be ridiculously high, but the range would be from £45 million to £175 million depending upon who exactly leaves the club.
Therefore, the scope for meeting new player wage demands is huge, and cannot realistically be considered a barrier to transfer activity this summer.
Total wages can within regulations increase to £108 million plus any required surplus from the player trading account. Contrast this with staffing costs of £84 million in the last published accounts.
Profit and Sustainability Rules
With regards to Profitability and Sustainability, I don't see there being any issue despite recording two successive losses of £4.6m and £24.3m as we should have a profitable year to May 2017 with the receipts from the Stones sale plus the enormous increase in broadcasting revenues for this season.
This leads nicely onto the UEFA regulations, now quite well known Financial Fair Play. Financial Fair Play looks at the profitability of clubs in European competitions.
Financial Fair Play Rules.
Essentially FPP limits the permitted losses of clubs by assessing clubs against break-even requirements. The break-even requirements require clubs to balance their spending with their revenues (excluding infra-structure, stadium and academy spending). Thus, it restricts the ability of a club to rely upon debt as a means of financing normal activities.
UEFA use an "independent" body known as the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) which looks at the previous 3 year's financial accounts.
The regulations permit each club participating in European competition to spend up to €5m more than they earn per assessment period (year). However, this limit can be increased to €30m if the excess is covered entirely by a "direct contribution/payment from the club owner(s) or a related party.
As with the Premier League rules, the two successive years of losses will not create difficulties (even though they aggregated at €35.1m) because of the return to profitability in financial year 2016/17.
Sponsorship and FFP
The issue of sponsorship, and the use of related companies to provide sponsorship to cover losses within clubs has long been a contentious subject within UEFA.
In relation to Everton and the sponsorship of Finch Farm by USM, both Moshiri's and Usmanov's involvement may come under scrutiny. However, neither should represent a threat or a problem. The first issue would be the fair value of the sponsorship deal, and the likely figure of £5m per year (not confirmed by the club but assumed to be the approximate value) would pass the fair value test.
Usmanov's controlling interest in USM and 30.04% stake in Arsenal may raise an eyebrow or two in Nyon (UEFA's headquarters) but is not believed to represent any problem.
It's difficult to see a scenario where either the Premier League's STCC rules or UEFA's FPP rules will significantly impact Everton's recruitment drive this summer. Much of this of course is driven by the requirement (for footballing reasons) to make large changes to the squad.
Assuming the outgoing numbers are realistic (in terms of number of players, value of contracts and transfer values), even taking the lower figures, when included with the increase in non-broadcasting revenues and potential player trading profits, there's room for salary increases from recruiting of anywhere from £32m upwards to over £50 million p.a.
There is no foreseeable financial reason why salary demands of incoming players should present a regulatory or commercial obstacle. The limitation (if any) can only be our ambition, our ability to close deals or the player's desire to join Everton.

The Payment is Made – Will We Receive It?
John 1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
Not too long ago I used the following as a sermon illustration. I presented this question or scenario – if I had just come into a lot of money and offered to pay the complete mortgage due on everyone's home if they came to church next Sunday and brought proof of their debt – how many would attend? Of course – everyone raised their hand and said they would attend.
I mentioned – remember – you us attend one of our worship services next week and you must bring proof of your mortgage debt – and you can invite family and friends. I imagine the place would be packed – not even standing room. We perceive the value of paying off our mortgage debt.
Of course – most of us – if not all of us – will at some point pay off our mortgage. We normally have the wherewithal to pay off the mortgage note – but the chance to have it paid off by someone else would allow us to save or spend that amount. Continue reading

Jelly Belly Beans, 1970s Variety
An assortment of Jelly Belly beans – mouth-watering as only a newer candy can be. 8 oz in a heat-sealed bag with the history on the label.
A Bit of History
Jelly Belly beans were the brainchild of David Klein, who hired the Goetze Candy Company to make the Jelly Bean for him. Klein thought up the name after seeing Lead Belly on the T.V. show Stanford and Son. He thought the singer's name was "Jelly Belly." The Goetz company stole the idea from Klein. After a lengthy law suit, Klein received a relatively small settlement. The Goetz family still owns the rights to Jelly Belly today.

LONDON — The Dutch government said on Friday that it would delay a decision on an initial public offering of ABN Amro, the state-owned lender, after a row with lawmakers about executive salaries.
The delay comes after an outcry by lawmakers after the bank's supervisory board voted to increase the compensation of several top managers in 2014.
In a letter to Parliament on Friday, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister, said he would delay a decision on when to proceed with the offering after Parliament's finance committee said it was seeking information about the salary increases.
The Dutch government had hoped to make a decision on the offering in the first quarter and proceed with an I.P.O. in the second half of this year.
The bank was nationalized during the 2008 financial crisis, costing the Dutch government more than 20 billion euros, or about $22 billion.
"The timing on the decision to I.P.O. ABN Amro is up to the finance minister, and only the finance minister," an ABN Amro spokesman said. "He is postponing his decision on a potential I.P.O. We will await further notice on what the next steps will be."
The uproar over pay comes as Dutch lawmakers have taken a much tougher stance on compensation for members of the finance industry, even tougher than bonus caps put in place by its European peers.
Dutch lawmakers enacted a cap on bonuses this year for employees in the banking, insurance and other finance sectors that limits so-called variable pay to 20 percent of their fixed salary.
In its annual report last week, ABN Amro said its supervisory board approved a "temporary fixed allowance" of €100,000 for six eligible members of its managing board, raising their base salaries to €707,500.
Gerrit Zalm, the ABN Amro chairman, wasn't eligible for the allowance. Mr. Zalm was paid a base salary of €759,375 in 2014.
Managing board members were eligible for this €100,000 allowance in 2012 and in 2013, but previously waived it, ABN Amro said in its report.
The managing board members are not eligible to receive variable allowances, essentially annual bonuses, while the lender is receiving government support.
The bank's underlying profit, which excludes certain special items, more than doubled in 2014, to €1.55 billion from €752 million in 2013.

Paolo SpaccamontiVolume Quattro
Escape From Today/Dunque
Release Date
September 20, 2019
1. Cuocere verdure e fare il brodo con le ossa
2. Ablazioni
3. Nina
4. Nessun codardo tranne voi
5. Un gelido inverno
6. Rimettiamoci le maschere
7. Paul dance
8. Fumo negli occhi
9. Tutto bene quel che finisce
10. Luce
11. Diagonal
Darkness needs to be crossed alone. This is probably what the Torinese composer and guitarist should have thought, when approaching to the idea that was to become his fourth solo album (the eleventh, counting also the myriad of collaborations in which he has been involved). Ten years after Undici Pezzi Facili, Paolo decides that time to chase a movie directed by others, is definitively over. There is no need for images to dig in the core of one's own heart. And then (almost) no guests, for a journey through depths that claim loneliness. A journey that starts and ends on the chords of a guitar, the one and only of Paolo, the last stronghold.
Every single sound is generated by the guitar, with the exclusion of the scarce beats of the hip hop hypothesis of Ablazioni. All around, is sound that uncovers new paths, suggests ideas, chases ghosts. It is natural that the spaces of the recording studio (never so present and physical as this time) become instrument themselves, lovely captured by the masterful handmade sound design of Gup Alcaro. Allowing Spaccamonti to penetrate through an intimate and raw path of sound, obscure but demanding light at the end. As the human soul, torture and delight, as the one of Paolo. Never as bare as now. Through the terminal Paris, Texas of Nina, the empty spaces of Un Gelido Inverno, the syncope of Paul Dance that opens up to the Sunn O))) limbo of Fumo Negli Occhi. At the end, the glance upwards of Luce, to seek for a possible way out. Abandon yourselves to the stories of Volume Quattro, to its essential truth.
— Mauro Fenoglio (Rumore)
— All music by Paolo Spaccamonti
— Recorded and produced by Gup Alcaro at Superbudda, Torino except 'Paul dance' by Maurizio Borgna
— Mixed by Maurizio Borgna
— Mastered by Patrick Higgins
— Cover art by Laura Fortin

Last week a video surfaced on Twitter that showed a record player spinning a little slower than it should have for Adele's hit "Hello" and it sounded surprisingly like Sam Smith. Those who replied to the tweet hypothesized that Sam Smith sped up must then sound like Adele, but it ended up sounding more like the singer Halsey.
The original video created a domino effect of users posting videos of songs slowed down. But many of them weren't serious, users couldn't help but spoof on the premise by adding a slightly altered version of the original song to their parody videos.
Many of the parodies included a "slowed down" clip of the song that was actually from a popular YouTube video or Vine. Everyone remembers the girl who tried her hardest to sing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You." One poster couldn't resist the urge to add the girl's YouTube attempt as the slowed version.
Ariana Grande's song "Touch It" sounded a lot like Dua Lipa when it was slowed down.
But of course there was a joke edit for Grande's music as well.
Other popular artists like Taylor Swift were edited as a joke as well.
Nicki Minaj was remixed in a joke.
But when her song "Super Bass" was actually slowed down, one user pointed out that she actually sounded a lot like Jay-Z.
We may never know what the Titanic theme slowed down sounds like because this edit has it replaced with the sound of recorder.

If you know what a power of attorney is and want to create an enduring power of attorney, then you can make one at this site.
If you don't know what it is, then read on and have a better understanding if you require one.
Before we look at what is an Enduring Power of Attorney, let's understand what a Power of Attorney is.
A Power of Attorney is a legal document that you create to authorize another person to act on your behalf. The person that gives the authority is called the principal, the person given the authority is called the agent or attorney in fact. The agent need not be a lawyer.
There are 3 types of Power of Attorney.
General Power of Attorney
A general Power of Attorney gives broad and wide powers to the agent. This includes but not limited to handling financial and banking transactions, sale and purchase of property, entering into contracts, settling claims and others. It is usually very wide in scope of authority given to the agent.
Special Power of Attorney
A special Power of Attorney on the other hand is more specific and limited in nature. Thus the agent is limited to what he or she is authorize to do. For example just to sell a specific property, you would use a specific Power of Attorney.
Health care Power of Attorney
A health care Power of Attorney, also known as an advance directive, authorizes the agent, to make health care decision when you are not able to do so because of either you are unconscious or mentally incapable of making any medical decision.
So what is a Enduring Power of Attorney? Also known as a Durable Power of Attorney, it is either a General, a Special or a Health are Power of Attorney with special provision that enables it to remain in effect or to only take effect when the principal is no longer mentally competent. If a Power of Attorney is not made Durable, then it becomes inoperative when the principal is no longer mentally competent.
So depending on what you want to accomplish, your Power of Attorney may be an Enduring Power of Attorney or just a normal Power of Attorney.
You can create your Power of Attorney for different countries including the United States, Canada, UK and Australia here for just over $15 here.

Hiphop should not be controlled, nor should it be held back from its original purpose. To uplift, to enlighten, to bring reality to the forefront and to elevate minds with words that were never heard in this form. I go by the name of J-CARTER, & that's one of the reasons I have come.
J-Carter comes straight out of New Jersey with a surgical type flow that cuts through the brain and pierces the soul. He believes hip-hop should focus on great lyrical content, tight beats, and ear catching hooks. He has been writing lyrics since the age of 13 enhancing his vocabulary along the way to be a better lyricist. His musical influences are motivated by a conglomerate of hiphop artists that have came on the world scene the past 30 years. His music is a blend of an old school feel mixed in with the new contemporary feel of hiphop, but he strives to maintain his own style and voice to separate himself from the playing field.
Wasting no time, J-Carter is back with his 3rd album (Take Hip-hop Back) within a year. J-Carter states "This time around the people will have no choice but to hear me". He has been criticized about sounding too old school, not having any trap music, no club bangers, and that he should not even be making music at all. With this new album he plans to silence the critics and leave no room for doubt about his lyrical skills while leaving his mark in this hip-hop game. With 38 tracks spread across this album, there is nothing lacking to quench the thirst of the real hip-hop heads searching for that lyricism and realness. Take hip-hop Back is an album that balances that traditional lyricism with a contemporary outer shell. It aims to bring back the realness and reality that hip-hop was known for since it's creation. Take Hip-hop Back is the album J-Carter truly believes will leave a mark on the music world, and bring a sound and lyrical objective that has not been heard before in this genre.

Does your kidney disease come back now and then? Do you want to have a permanent control of your disease? In this article, we will tell you the most effective way to prevent relapse. And it is almost suitable for all renal patients.
Colds, also known as upper respiratory tract infections, often lead to the relapse and aggravation of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Therefore, it is necessary for you to know how to prevent infections.
There are many ways to prevent infections, involving all aspects of treatment and lifestyle. One method is simple and effective: to get a cold vaccine.
There are two types of cold vaccines that kidney patients need: influenza vaccines and pneumococcal vaccines.
Target user:
Almost all CKD patients, including those on dialysis, after kidney transplantation, with pregnancy and so on can take it. The following 3 special patients are excluded:
1. Baby. Vaccination is not recommended for children younger than 6 months.
2. People with egg allergies, because flu vaccines are made from eggs.
3. Patients with active autoimmune kidney disease.
Precautions for influenza vaccination
-Generally, it is injected in the autumn so as to achieve the maximum effect during the high influenza season in winter and spring communication. After 7 months, the effect begins to weaken and the protection period is one year.
-There are two types of flu vaccines: live attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines. Kidney patients should take inactivated vaccines.
-Repeated vaccinations. In patients with low immunity (using immunosuppressants) and hemodialysis, a single dose of the vaccine may not be effective. Repeat vaccination if necessary.
-The hepatitis b vaccine is also recommended for kidney patients. And the above two kinds of renal patients also need to increase the vaccination times.
Now you know the most effective way for kidney patients to prevent relapse. If you would like to know more information on CKD, please leave a message below or contact online doctor. We are glad to help.

Term "HODL" is widely used in cryptocurrency and blockchain world, people talk about hodling Bitcoin, hodling Ethereum or other tokens and coins. But what does it mean and where did this crypto slang come from? It originates from a post on Bitcointalk forum back in 2013. A forum user named GameKyuubi, who later admitted that he was drunk, confused a word "hold" with "hodl". This was quickly adopted by other crypto enthusiasts. "I hodl Bitcoin" is the correct sentence now in crypto-world. You might be labeled as a crypto-noob if you use the word hold in anything regarding cryptocurrencies and blockchain. Remember, hodl, not hold, and that's why we have created this cool crypto t-shirt just for you.

What Do We Provide ?
Sefton Childrens Trust aims to provide a 3 year programme of events and activities for families experiencing difficulties, focusing on families with young people aged 8 - 11 years who in the main reside in Sefton.
These young people may be young carers, living in families who are experiencing difficulties, or may themselves have special needs including learning difficulties or behavioural problems.
The highlight of our programme is a week long summer residential experience, enjoyed for the last few years at Manor Adventure, Shropshire. For most young people this is not only their sole experience of a holiday but also a respite from their often difficult daily lives.
During the residential experience the young people develop confidence and team skills in a fun environment whilst enjoying the experience of being a young person.
For many of them its the first time they experience the opportunity to make choices, to discover areas where they can "shine" by being encouraged to achieve personal goals.
Many of the stresses these young people face in their daily lives are removed, as they are provided with appropriate protective clothing, equipment for their activities, toiletries and food. Please click here to see the latest reports
Live dance drama is popular with the young people, often awakening dormant potential. Teamwork is an amazing tool for recognising the needs of others and providing support, encouragement and friendship.
Feedback enables us to evaluate sleeping/eating patterns and social skills during the week and we hear of improved attendance and behaviour at school.
The residential experience provides respite for families; many of these young people are ones excluded by other organisations.
We also provide other activities and opportunities please click here to view

We get out on the water aboard a sustainable boat to see how you can check out the shores of the capital without negatively impacting the environment
What is it?
At ADW we're always looking at ways to be more sustainable. From reducing the use of plastic in our workplace to taking part in local clean-up campaigns, it's fair to say that we're an eco-centric bunch.
Eager to understand more about other environmentally friendly initiatives going on around town, we decide to see what the solar-powered eco donut tours at the mangroves are all about.
The round vessels, powered entirely by the sun, allow guests to navigate their way around the mangroves to spot wildlife, enjoy the peaceful surroundings and, of course, take a few pictures for Instagram, too. #InAbuDhabi.
Propelled by the electric engine, which is powered by solar energy absorbed by three panels on the roof, the vehicle offers an emission-free way to travel through the mangroves and explore the natural beauty
of the capital.
Travellers are permitted to bring food and drink along on their journey but are reminded to dispose of their garbage responsibly and not damage the ecosystem by throwing it into the water where it can seriously harm and even kill local wildlife.
What do you do?
These seaworthy donuts are a breeze to drive and can be operated with just one hand by your nominated captain, so everyone, including children, can take a turn steering the small boat along the way.
With the ability to choose the speed and change direction, you can take a trip along the mangroves at a glacial pace or push ahead a little faster – but don't expect to break any speed records.
Travelling at a top speed of four knots (that's 7.4 kph), the sustainable vessels are less likely to disturb wildlife or damage the mangroves should you veer wildly off course, but it's unlikely that you'll lose control.
What's it like?
Having previously kayaked through the mangroves on a number of occasions, we enjoy being on board the eco donut as a more relaxed way to enjoy the scenery, though you won't be able to go deep into the mangroves as the ship could harm the trees and wildlife.
With the slow speed and warm weather, it's also a great option for young children and people who aren't confident in the water to try something new and see a different side to the city.
Are you a nature lover? During our trip we see a range of local seabirds including a few Western reef heron diving into the water on the hunt for fish. It's also not uncommon to spot fish and mottled crabs that can be seen foraging at the base of the mangroves at low tide.
Just remember to bring water with you, especially in the hotter months, and be responsible with your garbage.
Sadly ,we spot some discarded plastic along the way, so if you get the chance, don't be afraid to grab it out of the water and take it back to dry land to dispose of it responsibly.
How can I get on board?
Booking starts from AED 300 for one hour for up to six people, AED 500 for two hours. You can hire boats daily between 9am and 11pm from the Eco Donut location at Eastern Mangroves Promenade. Booking is advised but not essential. Contact: 056 480 0427, ecodonutboats.com

Funny or Die
Original comedy videos have been appearing on Funny or Die for years now, usually starring the Hollywood elite (such as Emma Stone, Jack Black, Charlize Theron, and many others), thanks to big-names like founders Will Ferrell and Adam McKay (the jokers behind Anchorman). If a video isn't funny and you vote "die," it goes to the crypt. But for the most part, the "funny" wins.
Hulu offers you a free stream of TV shows and movies, as well as episodes of Web-based shows to catch up on and previews of shows you would have otherwise missed. Granted, it doesn't offer every episode and it doesn't have every show available (not even with a Hulu Plus subscription), but it offers more than enough to keep you from feeling left out of water-cooler conversations.—LAR

Netflix remains the most popular option for streaming media, especially after offering up hits like its own Arrested Development, House of Cards, and Orange is the New Black. For a flat monthly rate, subscribers can stream unlimited hours of movies and television shows from the Watch Instantly library. The company still rents DVDs without late fees too.—MP
The trailblazer in personalized Internet radio stations, Pandora creates custom music stations based on your favorite bands or songs with help from the Music Genome Project. The intermittent ads hardly disrupt the robust stream of music and the killer smartphone app lets you listen on the go. It's the best streaming music service for the laid back listener, as it offers a minimalist interface and a very hands-off experience.—MP

We've got a Songza in our hearts. The service leads as listeners choose the mood of the tunes they want to hear. Wednesday afternoon? Songza wants to know if you need an energy boost, are working, playing DJ for the office, or just want to hear something new. Friday late night, it suggests you may be getting high, going to bed, getting lucky, hosting a house party, or coming down from a crazy night. You can sign in socially or, if you don't want to own up to any of the above, listen anonymously.—Chandra Steele
Surf on over to YouTube to watch anything from archived C-SPAN footage to cute cat memes. The video-sharing site has revolutionized uploading, sharing, and watching content. Media outlets make select material available through YouTube partnerships and channels, although the vast majority of (and often most entertaining) content is user-generated.—MP

Does your belly button smell like poop? The belly button is the only visible scar in the body after birth. A few days after the baby was born, the rest of a small piece of meat fell off; only the navel also called umbilicus.
There are two forms of navels: hollow navels and convex navels. The hollow navel is a cavity; it is more likely to have a bad smell than the convex navel. This part of the body is warm and damp. Dirt, lint, bacteria, sweat, and other germs can start building up in your belly button. According to the study, there are more than 67 bacteria in the navel.
Infection of the belly button and poor hygiene are main causes of the smelly belly button and discharge. This condition can be accompanied by bleeding especially when you have a belly button pierce. This could be a sign of yeast, fungal infection or cyst. In some cases, the navel may be filled with stone-like masses called omphalitis, which can also cause navel infection and inflammation.
How to Tell if Your Belly Button Is Infected
Common symptoms of an Infected belly button include:
- Belly buttons are inflamed, swelling crusted, or itchy.
- White, yellow, green, or dark-colored discharge with foul smells.
- Persistent pain around the belly button, especially when you have a piercing.
- Blistering or scab around the belly button or piercing.
Common Causes of Smelly Belly Button
1. Yeast or Fungal Infection
Yeast infection, also called fungal infection, often affects adolescents and children. Newborns can also develop this condition when exposed to mother's vaginal yeast infection. Thrush or athlete's foot can also spread to the belly button. Diabetes and excess abdominal fat can increase the risk of belly button yeast infections in adults.
The most common sign of yeast infection in the belly button is a foul odor. Candida albicans, a fungus that survives in damp and warm places like the navel, can cause the unpleasant smell coming from your belly button.
Aside from the navel hole, this fungus can also live in the mouth and cause bad breath. Other symptoms of yeast infection in the belly button include:
- Foul odor that does not disappear after cleaning.
- Yellow discharges from the navel hole.
- Pain with liquid discharge.
2.Poor Hygiene
According to a 2011 study by the North Carolina University, nearly 70 species of bacteria can potentially colonize the belly button.
The navel can also be a breeding ground for Fungi and other germs because of the dead skin, oil, dirt, sweat, and other debris. These germs will multiply and produce the foul smell.
3. Bacterial Infection
This condition usually occurs in people who have thick belly buttons. Leaving your belly button unwashed allows bacteria to live and develop. The navel hole is warm and moist, which is the perfect place for bacteria to strive.
Leaving it unattended can make the condition worse accompanied by pain. You will feel uncomfortable, and the affected area becomes a wound. Aside from the unpleasant smell of the belly button, you may also have liquid discharge.
Here are some tips to prevent bacterial infection that leads to smelly belly button:
- Always clean your belly button with soap to prevent the growth of bacteria.
- After sweating, clean your navel hole to keep the sweat from accumulating inside. Sweat promotes the growth of bacteria and leads to an unpleasant smell.
- Always keep your belly button dry after showering or exercising to prevent it from staying moist.
4. Pregnancy or Period
Many people have reported that their navel area smells like stool during period or pregnancy. Why does it happen during period or pregnancy?
- During ovulation or period, or during pregnancy, the level of the body's metabolism increases. This means that the body releases more sweat and not cleaning the belly button correctly may result in an unpleasant odor. An infection may also develop if not washed properly.
- If you are pregnant and you have smelly button accompanied by soreness or bruise around the area, see a doctor for proper diagnosis.
5. Diabetes
Diabetes is also a condition that can lead to smelly belly button. One of the little-known symptoms of diabetes is that when the blood sugar is higher than usual, you can feel the skin dry or even itching.
You can also feel itching on your hands, arms, legs, and feet. According to studies, diabetes makes the health of the navel worse and leads to unpleasant-smelling discharge that may smell like fish or rotting cheese. If you notice that it is better for you to have a blood glucose test.
6. Surgery
Smelly belly button can also occur because of surgery. This happens because surgical procedures may leave scabs during the healing process. In addition to that, infections or discharge may also follow belly button surgeries such as laparoscopy and tummy tuck. Other surgeries that may also lead to the unpleasant smell of the navel hole include gallbladder surgery and tubal ligation.
After abdominoplasty, or plastic surgery of the abdomen, the scars around the belly button contract and cause the skin to shed. The debris can accumulate in the navel hole and promote the growth of bacteria. In this case, bacterial growth or infection is the cause of the foul odor from your belly button.
If you are experiencing smelly belly button after a few months of surgery, there could be stitches left and has to be removed. You will need to visit your surgeon immediately for proper treatment.
7. Urachal Cyst
Another cause that leads to the unpleasant smell of the navel hole is a urachus cyst or patent urachus. During the first trimester of pregnancy, urine from the fetus is drained through urachus, a channel or tube that connects the umbilicus and the bladder for waste excretion.
Urachal problems develop after birth. In most cases, the remnant cyst is located between the belly button and the top of the bladder. One of the symptoms of patent urachus or urachus cyst is a foul-smelling discharge from the umbilical. Other symptoms also include:
- Pain when urinating.
- Abdominal pain.
- Visible navel discharges.
- UTI infections.
Newborns may have different symptoms compared to adults. Some signs of urachal cyst in newborns include:
- A lump can be felt in the abdomen.
- The belly button is always wet due to continuous discharges.
- Belly button drainage.
- Urinary tract infections.
It is essential to treat this problem immediately as it can show more symptoms around the area of the navel. Treating umbilical urachus infections can be done with the two-stage procedure.
Your surgeon begins with an initial incision to drain the cyst, then elective excision. There are also recent reports that the infected cyst can be removed with the one-stage procedure.
8.Sebaceous Cyst
Sebaceous cysts are another common cause of belly button discharge. The sebaceous glands in the skin can release oil. If the sebaceous glands in the navel are blocked by dirt and oil, they may be infected and form sebaceous cysts.
Sebaceous cysts can lead to swollen, redness, and pain near the navel, accompanied by a thick off-white or yellow discharge, and blackheads may also appear in the cyst center.
9. Piercing
Some of the signs of infected navel piercing are unpleasant to smell and yellowish discharges out of the hole. The wounds from the pierce turn into scabs. The debris stays in the hole and can lead to bacterial growth.
Aside from the unpleasant odor, you may also experience pain, itchiness, bumps and also bleed. You can prevent the infection from spreading by cleaning the affected area with antiseptic or rubbing alcohol.
How to Get Rid of Smelly Belly Button
Fortunately, there are some natural ways to get rid of the smelly belly button. Making an action right away can prevent it from getting worse. Here are some ways to treat belly button infection:
Warm Salt Water
You can treat the infection with warm salt water. Just add one tablespoon of salt to 1 cup of warm water. Use a cotton ball to clean the affected area. You can also apply an OTC water-based antibacterial cream. Repeat this treatment once or twice a day.
Tea Tree Oil
Another effective natural remedy for belly button infection is tea tree oil. It contains antibacterial, antifungal and antiseptic properties. Simply mix four drops of tea tree oil in 1 teaspoon of coconut or olive oil. Dip a cotton ball and apply the mixture to your belly button. Allow it to sit for at least ten minutes before wiping it off with a clean cloth or tissue. Repeat this treatment two times a day.
White Vinegar
You can stop the discharge from the belly button with white vinegar. Its acidic nature can combat the infection. Just mix 1 part of vinegar with two parts of warm water. Use cotton to apply the solution on your navel. Leave it for at least ten minutes before washing it off with warm water and pat dry. Repeat this treatment two times a day.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera can also be used for treating infection in the belly button. It contains soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Just cut a leaf from aloe vera plant and apply the gel to your belly button. Let it dry before cleaning the navel with a wet cloth or tissue.
Indian Lilac or Neem
This plant contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that can alleviate the pain and itch. It can also prevent the infection from spreading. Simply get few leaves of Indian Lilac and make a paste. You can add turmeric powder and apply it to your belly button. Let it sit for at least twenty minutes before washing with warm water. Repeat this treatment two times a day.
Keep the Belly Button Clean
You can speed up the healing process of the infected belly button by keeping it clean. This prevents the growth of bacteria. Use antibacterial soap to clean the area and dry.
7. Alcohol is also good
Just dip a cotton swab with alcohol, clean cotton swab, then gently on the umbilical cord if your baby is sucking. To do this, twice a day to reduce odors.
How to Prevent Smelly Belly Button Discharge
- Clean the navel every day using warm water, antibacterial soap or saline solution.
- Remove the dirt from your navel using a soft towel regularly.
- After bathing, dry the inside of the navel to prevent bacterial growth.
- Wear clothes made of cotton or silk, this can help the skin to breathe.
- Wear loose-fitting clothing which can reduce the irritation to your navel.
- Avoid using any creams and moisturizers in the navel. This will clog pores and breed bacteria.
- Avoid navel picking or scratching especially navel piercing, which can lead to infection.
When to See a Doctor?
If your navel smell is accompanied by redness, pain, fever, irritation or itching, please do not hesitate to consult a dermatologist. It may be a navel inflammation. In this case, you need antifungal therapy.
Is your navel releasing smelly liquid? This can be due to skin infection around the umbilicus that leads to discharge and drainage from your belly button. If you are experiencing itchiness or belly button hurt and your belly button releases a foul-smelling discharge, it is best to seek medical attention to get proper treatment.

Hospital is a work that moves through a private hospital in Coimbatore, India. It emerged from a series of field recordings of medical environments. Hospital practices a non-medical gaze that is guided by listening. It offers a counterpoint to navigating 'anaesthetized environments' through field recordings, fictional vignettes, interviews and case notes (following the erstwhile medical practice of dictating observations and instructions about patients on tape). These recorded documents come together to dwell in cinematic spaces that would normally be assessed and accessed only in a 'strictly' medical context.
In its first form, Hospital was a sound walk. An audio piece and a book of photographs led participants through the hospital building. The recordings were later edited into a sound-and-text film to be heard on headphones.

|What happens after my claim is accepted?
If you receive a Section 81 Notice from the insurer accepting that the driver of their vehicle was at fault then you are entitled to receive compensation as allowed under the Motor Vehicle Accidents Compensation Act (NSW) 1999.
When your condition has stabilised and there is unlikely to be any change in your condition then you can reach a resolution of your claim with the insurance company either by agreement or through a dispute resolution process known as CARS.
You should always seek the assistance of a lawyer when discussing resolution of a claim with a CTP insurer, a lawyer will almost always obtain for you a much greater amount of compensation than you would obtain if you proceeded on your own.
The statistics for 2010 show people who did not have a lawyer received about $11,000 in compensation whist those who did have a lawyer received about $90,000 on average.
