Once a day I get a brief summary of what\u2019s been reported in a narrow specialized field, like AI, or VR, or Space, or Robotics. Succinct, select, in depth, and free. Inside also offers newsletters focused on each of the big tech companies, like Amazon or Google. And they now offer inside industry news on fashionable sectors like Cannabis or Beer. \u2013 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fake follower audit<\/strong><br \/>\nNone of us have as many followers as we think we do. Up to half may be bots or shills. Every now and then I give myself a reality check by seeing how many fake followers I have on Twitter. I enter my twitter handle into\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sparktoro.com\/tools\/fake-followers-audit?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">SparkToro<\/a>.

It\u2019s not flawless, but\u00a0you can never have too many book search tools.\u00a0\u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quick unsubscribing<\/strong><br \/>\nI get signed up for a lot of newsletters and PR lists without my consent. I used to take the time to scroll down to the bottom of each email newsletter and click the unsubscribe link (if there was one), but now I just use Gmail\u2019s \u201cBlock\u201d to send them forevermore to my spam folder. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n<p><strong>Savory meat marinade<\/strong><br \/>\nMy favorite marinade for meat is easy to make and savory.

The best way to learn is not by books (which are confusing), but by videos (which make the sleights and handlings clear). A great video collection for beginner and intermediate card magicians is the 7-DVD set called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2pO36dO?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">Complete Card Magic<\/a>\u00a0($25).
