Share it with us in the comments!Deflate an Air Bed Air beds provide cheap and comfortable solutions to sleeping when you're on the move. Given their compact size when not inflated and their light weight, air beds provide a convenient night's sleep for travelers or overnight guests when you're short on beds. Deflating an air bed is a straightforward task that can be achieved without any additional equipment, but an electronic or battery-powered pump makes inflating and deflating an air bed much easier and quicker. Move the fully inflated air bed onto a flat, hard, nonslip surface -- the flatter and firmer, the better. Remove any sundry items, such as pillows, sheets and duvets, and pack them away separately. Find and open the inflation valve, which is normally located somewhere near the bottom or end of the air bed, often near one of the corners.
Opening the valve often involves untwisting a cap before pulling it clear. If the bed is fully inflated, you should instantly hear and feel a decrease in the bed's pressure when the valve is opened. Apply your hands to the air bed and exert gentle pressure on any sections of the air bed that remain inflated. Similar to kneading clay or bread, you must push and massage the air out of the bed before you start to feel the hard surface underneath, meaning as much air as possible has been removed. Affix your air bed pump to the valve as if you were about to inflate the air bed, but change the settings as indicated on the pump or in the bed's manual so your pump is set to "reverse" or "deflate." Continue to apply pressure to air pockets in the bed as the pump draws air out. You can also kneel on the air bed and crawl around on all fours to help speed up the process. Remove and pack away the pump when the bed is as deflated as possible. Fold, roll and pack up your air bed as instructed in its manual.
Ensure your air bed is as clean and as dry as possible before packing it away. The instructions often provide a specific strategy for packing away the bed, which is the most efficient and simple way to handle it. Place your folded and rolled air bed into its bag. The more air you are able to remove from the air bed, the easier the packing process will be, and the more compact and transportable the end product. Google has introduced App Maker, which is a new service for creating applications that mostly focuses on corporate clients. The company is now accepting applications for early access to the tool from different enterprises that are using paid version of the G Suite. The new service allows you to build applications by dragging and insert different widgets within the user interface. Then you can customize the application using scripts, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JQuery. After starting the application you can track its functioning through Google Analytics. App Maker is aimed at the professionals who are not application developers.
"We are mostly targeted at corporate developers who create a variety of solutions within their own company, but do not possess enough knowledge, that the mobile applications developers have," - says Google Product manager, Agee Surya. Applications created with the help of App Maker, operate on the basis of the same infrastructure as Gmail, Google Calendar and Drive. The data that is generated within the application can be stored in the new Google Drive Tables service, which is managed by a structured Google Drive database. App Maker users will be able to integrate their applications with Google with a number of services, including Calendar, Contacts, Docs, Drive, Forms, Gmail, Groups, Translator, Maps, Google Sites, Tables and Google BigQuery. Google starts testing mobile-first index. It means that in the near future, the search algorithms will be primarily assessed by the relevance of a mobile version of the page and alternatively by the desktop. This information was published in the company's blog.
Today more and more people are searching through mobile devices. However, Google's ranking system continues evaluating the relevance of the desktop version of the page. In order to make the search results more useful Google started testing mobile-first index. Although the search index will remain united, eventually Google's ranking algorithms will primarily evaluate the mobile version of the page. In the coming months Google will experiment the updated index with some users. Having finished the testing, the system will be launched around the world. Despite the fact that the process of transition to mobile-first index is only on its way to be introduced to the public, Google has prepared several recommendations for the webmasters: • If your website is configured as an adaptive or dynamic display design, in which the main content and layout are identical for both mobile and desktop devices, no changes to be applied in this case • If a website configuration requires different content for mobile and desktop devices
, it is necessary to perform the following changes: o Make sure that the structured markup is used in mobile and desktop website version. o Check the equivalence of micro markup on both desktop and mobile version using the structured Google data testing tool. o By adding structured data on the mobile website, you should avoid including a large number of micro markup, which is not relevant to a specific content of each document. o Use a robots.txt file verification tool to verify that the mobile version of the site is accessible to Googlebot. o It is not necessary to apply changes to the canonical URL. Google will keep considering these attributes to display matching results to mobile and desktop users. • If you have confirmed only the desktop version of the website in the Search Console, you should also add the mobile resource version. • If you have only got a desktop website, Google will go on indexing it, even if the mobile user agent is used to view the resource. • You should keep in mind that when creating a mobile version a functional, focused on desktop website is much better than an incomplete or non-mobile version.
Please launch the mobile version only when it is completely ready to use. As it was already stated earlier Google will launch a separate mobile code and make it the primary in the coming months. Now it turned out that the index will remain the same for all types of documents. Google updated the documentation to create advanced snippets for articles pages. Now it clearly describes the difference between the markup for ordinary pages and AMP. Earlier the documentation indicated the conditions necessary for the article appearance in the AMP-carousel. Now it specifies that the page can be displayed differently depending on its type: «AMP structured data" or «non-AMP structured data". The updated guidelines clearly state that in order to get into the AMP-carousel the accelerated page should have the appropriate markup. Otherwise, it will be displayed in Google search results. With regard to the layout specification, Google also shared recommendations for AMP and non-AMP pages. For instance, if AMP features such as headline and image are required then the HTML-pages are highly recommended.
