One practical advice that you always hear from advanced SEO practitioners is to identify what types of links your competitors are building for their websites. With the use of the best link building tools like Ahrefs or OSE, you can determine the quality and quantity of links they're getting from other brands. This would make your link building campaign for your brand easier than starting out from scratch (creating your own strategy, testing it and hopefully build links through it).
It's easier because competitor backlink research would give you a list of sites that you can also get links from (by just looking at the backlink profiles of your competitors).
However, this kind of approach would somehow give impression to SEOs that link building alone can outdo their competitors and win in the industry they're working in. The sad truth is that many online marketers had been slaves by links for years without them realizing it (they've been focused on getting links throughout their career).
I do not say that you stop building links. Link building should still be part of your online marketing campaign given that links move people across site over the web and they allow your website/brand to be seen on different web places. But links alone would not always help you win in this competitive space. The reason is that links can be easily replicated by your competitors (with the use of aforementioned tools, they would already know how they can win over you).
Whether you liked or not, your competitors can replicate your links. However, there's one thing that you can do to make it difficult for your competitors to copy your marketing efforts. Simply, build hard-to-replicate content. This may require you some budget to perform really well and make the most out of its value (by promoting it using various outreach campaigns and advertising). Time and money would be always the issue in content marketing nowadays (so you better have some resources beforehand to improve your marketing performance).
Don't worry. There's one free content that you can do for your brand that is hard to replicate – "relationships".
Relationship building is hard to replicate given that there are no tools that can help your competitors track how you gained those connections. So if you will start to build relationships with people who might care about your brand, you can gain a cutting edge over your competitors.
Not all brands have already setup relationships with their target audience. How do I know that? By observing every blog on the web, you'll see some that are not gaining shares/links when their post had been published. There are posts that do not managed to earn at least 30 or 40 shares and that tells us that they do not consider relationship building as part of their marketing campaign. (Disclaimer: Share is not only the factor to determine if the brand had established relationships with people; I just use this as an example to show you how important relationship building is).
Relationship building has other benefits (aside from getting shares) that you should be aware of:
- It gives continuous support to your brand (as long as you sustain every relationship that you've built with your audience).
- It increases the volume at the top of the funnel. The effect of relationship building multiplies as more and more people are benefited from your connections (the law of reciprocity applies to this – your audience would give you favor of sharing your brand because you care about them which would help your brand amplify its reach to your customers).
- It aids you to know the problems encountered by your customers (they'll be open to you since you care too much for them).
- It improves how your marketing campaign works as you will be able to know the blind side of it (when someone uses your product, you can immediately ask feedback from him and know the problems(s) that he is(are) experiencing since the time he uses your product.
- It enables your outreach campaign to be more effective in terms of obtaining higher response rates thru emails. People who know you already would not hesitate to reply to your email.
Tip: Follow every phase of relationship building that I will share in this post. Do them after you created your own content and link building strategies and before implementing those two. This would give you better outcomes for your marketing campaign (you'll know the reason why when you start to test them yourself).
Five Phases of Relationship Building
Phase 1: Prospecting
In this phase, you want to know specific persons you want to reach out. It doesn't matter if they are influencers or mid-level bloggers. You use your own personal judgment to determine if they are the right prospects for your campaign.
In my case, there are two things that helped me identify the right prospect:
- If his topic of interest is similar to mine.
- If there is a possibility that I can connect with him. Most CEOs and other executives in other brands would be too busy to have you on board. They would be more likely to introduce you to their sales manager or customer service representative if you want to connect with them.
- If the person actively participates in at least one web place (e.g. social, related online community, blog). You need to look for people that could help you reach your brand-specific goals (share your brand to their peers).
With the above things (guidelines or whatever you call it), you can now search for your target audience. I listed down possible ways you can apply to get a list of prospects (use this spreadsheet to list down all the data).
A. Search Queries
If you're looking for influencers, you can use this generic search query to find them: ("influencers" + "your niche") or ("experts" + "your niche"). You'll find curated posts where influencers' sites and/or social profiles had been mentioned. Go get them and save in the spreadsheet.
B. Interviews
Use this query: ("interview" + "your keyword") + ("interview" + "your niche") to find industry-specific interviews where you can see experts sharing their own insights about certain topics. Surely you can see their blogs, contact details or social profiles that you can use to engage with them.
C. Authority Sites/Blogs
There are several authority sites in your niche that have a huge following base (subscribers, social followers) where you can see members (both influencers and mid-level prospects) setup their own member profiles.
For instance, Moz did a great job in establishing its authority in the inbound marketing scene. He had gathered thousands of subscribers in its database and plenty of social followers who are interested to read or learn in every content piece they're publishing on their site (all related to inbound marketing).
You can also apply this tactic in any niche that you're in.
By adding your keyword (e.g. content marketing), your search results would be more focused on members that are interested on your topic. Secondly, you can see the numbers 800..3000. I wanted only to see Mozzers in the search results that received Moz points from 800 – 3000. Those members managed to get those numbers of points because they've been actively participating in the Moz community (blog commenting, answering to Q&A section, writing Moz/YouMoz post).
Though this would not be applicable for you because you may not be targeting Moz as an authority site, it's a good example of how you should find footprints of authority sites in your niche.
You can check out this post by Chris Dyson to find common footprints among websites.
D. Social
Influencers usually engage with their audience on social and having a real-time conversation would make them more interactive and approachable. To find social influencers, use Followerwonk and rank them based on social authority. Highly influential people on social would help your content pieces to be exposed to a large audience (a cheap tactic for content promotion) so you better target prospects with high social authority.
Twitter lists can also be a good spot to find influencers (knowing that the members in these lists are both consist of influencers and mid-level bloggers that you can already start engaging with).
E. Authors Visible on Search Results
Do a Google search for your niche-related keywords. It doesn't matter whether they are highly competitive or not.
You want to see authors who do not only write articles but have their authorships installed on their pages. The reason for finding this type of authors is that you want to look for people who are authoritative in the industry and had already built the trust of their followers. If you can get them trust you, they can pass authority to your name (that's the power of influencing your influencers). Their followers can be your followers if you've got them recommended you to their groups.
All the names you've gathered in this phase should be placed on a spreadsheet so you can easily track the status of your relationships with them. You may be wondering why you need track relationships? The reason is that tracking your status with a person could help you manage easily your outreach campaigns. The stronger your relationship with the person, the higher is your rate of acquisition (in terms of links/shares/mentions).
Phase 2: Stalking
This may sounds like a negative term but stalking actually refers to the phase wherein you're looking for web places where your prospects are actively participating in as well as understanding how they behave in those communities.
Stalking phase would give you the following information of your prospects:
- Web platforms that they're actively contributing to (social, forums, blogs, etc..)
- Types of content they're interested to read or share
- Their behavior towards their audience (are they replying to tweets/retweets?)
Here's how you can find the above list of information from your prospects:
- Their own blogs/sites. You can see popular posts section on your prospect's blog. This would give you an idea of what content pieces gathered the most visits on their site (knowing this would help you improve your guest post – if you will be submitting it to their blog).
Popular Post Section in TripleSEO blog
- Social. Use AllMyTweets (my favorite social prospecting tool) to find social influencers. This would give you a list of the recent tweets of your prospect. The list of tweets would help you track sites where they contributed to or had been mentioned (guest post, interview, curated post).
Not always that your prospect is sharing content pieces that are highly-relevant to his blog's theme.
For instance, SEO experts are not always sharing SEO-related articles but also business blogs where they can get insights about entrepreneurship and branding related pieces.
- Niche-related communities. Use this search query: intext:(your prospect) inurl:forum to find industry-specific communities where your prospects are actively sharing their thoughts to.
By looking at the conversations of members in the forum threads, you'll get a feel of how the prospect got his mention from peers.
For example, Jason Acidre had been mentioned in several IM forums and blog communities. Let's take a look at how he got the mentions:
Targeted a larger group of audience (link). Someone shared Jason's blog to answer this question: Can you recommend other less-known business blogs?
Jason's blog does not only designed to target SEOs but also those who want to learn about business concepts (yes, he always talks about branding).
Wrote a product-review post (link). One mention is about his popular post – link prospecting using SEOquake. Because of the post's perceived value, it was shared on that forum thread to provide easy tips on link prospecting using that free tool.
Established authority and influence through strategic content assets. (link) Because of his influence in the SEO field, he got his mention to show the effectiveness of white hat strategies over black hat ones. Jason's blog posts revealed this truth as he shows it in his case studies and experience-based posts.
These are just samples of notes that you can list down in the spreadsheet so you could be able to know more about your prospects as well as help you create content that could win the interests of your audience.
- Interviews
Use this common search query: "interview" + "your industry or experts share their + "your industry" to find interview pages where you can get more influencers for your lists of prospects.
Take note of everything you've observed when you're stalking your prospects. List them down on the Notes column of the spreadsheet.
Also, make sure you gathered all the possible and important details of your prospects so you could get in touch with them through any possible means.
Phase 3: Visibility
You can't enter on your prospect's radar if you will not do anything that will catch his attention.
Here are some tips you can try to make yourself visible to your prospect:
- Blog commenting. This most popular advice should be at the top of your list when you want to be on someone's radar.
Add value to your comments. The person that you're trying to reach out would remember your memorable comment and would more likely do the favor you asked them.
- Social outreach. Answer your prospect's questions on social. Even if he is already an expert/influencer in the industry, he asks questions that he might know nothing about.
When you mention him in your post, let him know. The more you include your prospect's name/site in your content assets, the more he is willing to share it to his peers.
- Email. Present yourself to your prospect as a friend and not a competitor. Using email as your medium of communication can help you be on his radar. (Just be natural!)
Here are a few email templates that you can send to your prospect as your first touch point:
Heads Up Email
I bet you know this already. This type of email is used by Brian Dean to promote his posts blog post. The good thing with sending this type of email is that you're just showing your content to your prospect and you're not asking for a link/share. Remember that if they saw and liked your content, they know already what to do (either share it or link it from their site).
Hi [Webmaster],
I'm Venchito Tampon, a content marketer here in the Philippines. I just want to give you a heads up of my recent post on my blog – "How to Promote Your Content Like A Boss"
It's a compilation of the four principles of content promotion and I also listed down several actionable tips for content marketers (e.g. how to find influencers who might be interested to share your content).
It received good feedbacks including a share from Moz's Google+ Page.
If you want to check that out, you can visit this link – http://digitalphilippines.net/how-to-promote-your-content/.
I hope that you are enjoying your weekend, [Webmaster]
Kindest regards,
Love Your Work
People are flattered or overwhelmed when they saw that there's someone who appreciated their work. Using this as an angle (appreciation) would increase your response rates when you email your prospects.
Hi [Webmaster],
I just want to thank you for sharing your insights about [topic[ on your [blog].
I learned something new [Explain further what you have learned from the post].
If you think of a question that you know your prospect could answer it, you can use this to spark conversation with him. People love to answer questions from their audience as long as they know the answers to those questions.
Hi [Webmaster],
I have one question for you. What is your point of saying…[blah, blah, blah[?
Do you really agree that [blah, blah, blah]?
Would you mind answering this question? I love to hear your thoughts about this topic.
Thank you,
If you want to look for more email templates, you can check out this post by Neil Patel.
Phase 4: Rapport Building
You've got a reply from that prospect. Now it's time to build the foundation of your relationship with him.
There's no rule for this phase. When you exchange emails to your prospect, you'll get a feel of how you can approach that person (always be natural!).
Law of Reciprocity
The law of reciprocity simply states that if you do something for me, I'll do something for you. Here are simple tips to apply this law for your campaign:
- Share your prospect's content. Use Feedly to update yourself about his latest posts so you'll be the first one to share his work on social (the prospect may be tracking the first sharers of his blog post and he could find you).
- Build links to your first-tier guest posts. This is a win-win situation for both of you. You get added value from your effort (building links to your first tier guest posts passes value to your page/site) whereas your prospect's page would get a link value from your second-tier guest posts.
- Include your prospect's content/insight in your post. Let him know so he can share it on social and/or link to it from his site (e.g. weekly roundup post).
There are a lot more ways to use the law of reciprocity for your marketing campaign.
The key point: The more you help others promote their sites, the more you can obtain links/shares/followers (because you do them a favor). You can check out this post on how to engage your audience.
Phase 5: Sustainment
You don't want to build a one-time relationship with your prospects. You can get more benefits from sustaining the relationship you have with them.
Here's how:
- Asking valuable insights from your prospect. This could be made easy if you do the first touch contact with the person (knowing that he can easily remember you and do a favor for you).
You can include his insights to your content. Give credit to where it is due by linking to his social profile or his blog.
This is the actual email I received last week from Charles Floate. I contributed and got a mention from his blog.
- Collaborate with the person to create an awesome content (for your own site or a guest post). One example of this would be The Ultimate Guide to Scrapebox. That is a collaborated industry guide where insights from experts who are using that tool are seen on the page.
This made the post looks more credible in the eyes of the target audience given that tons of tips/advices are provided in that page.
You can also collaborate with your prospects for a guest post.
This tactic is on the process of testing (I'll share the results of this in my future post). Anyway, this kind of tactic has a lot of benefits that you can take advantage of such as:
Share multiplication. The more people are collaborating on that post, the chances of getting link/share love from the audience are higher (your prospects would surely help you promote the post).
Link baiting. The more extensive the post is, the likelihood of earning links to it is higher. Because tons of unique ideas are laid down on that post, it could be the reason of acquiring links from authority sites or blogs (e.g. including it on a round-up post, another guest post, etc..)
More of these in my future post..
- Pitching site owners if they can include your content piece in their weekly newsletters. This part would need a great piece of content for the outreach to become successful. It would help your tactic to gain better results when you have something to offer to your prospects.
You need first to look for prospects that have weekly newsletters and have significant number of subscribers (1000 or more). This would put more eyeballs to your content as more and more people could see your content piece in their inbox.
There are two reasons why I chose sites that have weekly newsletters:
- It would be easy for your content to be placed in their newsletter as there would be lesser content they need to review every week (compared to daily newsletters that have tons of content pieces in which you can't get easy content placement)
- There might be other marketers/bloggers who are pitching the same prospect you're trying to reach out. Again, placing your content in a daily newsletter would be more difficult compared to weekly newsletter.
From the list that you gathered earlier, you can just simply look at each of the prospects' blogs and determine whether or not their sites have weekly newsletters and if you have a chance to include your content piece in their newsletters.
By just looking at the site, you'll notice already if it has a decent amount of subscribers.
Some sites don't have a visible side bar same as above. If that is the case, you need to use your personal judgment (if they have a large social following, you could consider this as your prospect for content placement). Whereas, if the site is already an authority in your niche, you can consider that as one also, given that authority site has a considerable amount of followers whether it's on social or email.
Now that you have a list of those prospects (for your newsletter content placement), you can now start to pitch them. Use the email template below:
Hi [Webmaster],
Do you still remember me? I'm the one who sent you an email two weeks ago about [topic…blah blah].
I noticed that you're doing a weekly newsletter on your site wherein you are sharing articles about [topic].
You know what, I actually create a content piece that matches the topic you are sharing to your email subscribers. This piece is a [describe your post and how it can benefit their audience].
If you want to check my post, you can visit this link [URL]
Hope you're having a great time today!
Always personalize your email as it is the key to increase your email response rates.
- One sustainment tip that you can apply for relationship building is to promote your product and at the same time, help other brands create their own content piece (that would add value to their followers).
For instance, the email I received last week from Josh Haynam got my attention because it would add value to my site.
Here's the email:
You can use this as an angle for your pitch if you're selling a product/service. This is an effective angle given that it adds value to the prospect you're reaching out (help his site create better content).
There you have it, the five phases of relationship building!
Indeed, relationship building is something you need to consider in your marketing campaign as it applies to all niches (if it works offline, doing it in the online world would also work as well!).
The rewards you could get from building relationships with people are links, shares, leads (you're being referred by influencers because of the quality of your offerings) and increase in followers and/or brand advocates. These benefits would last as you take care of every relationship that you've built with your audience.

I think, maeve's new legendary 'Cat Burglar' is weak, and it's not for Maeve's style. This concept - bonus damage after F skill - is cool for Evie, but not for Maeve. I purpose an other legendary for her. Maeve's most importanat skill is her moovment speed, and she is the most vulnearble, after pounce, when she slow's down. This new legendary could help her in these important things:
Veteran thief
+20% moovment speed, +30% damage reduction for 2s after using Pounce

As we spread our crafty wings and try new projects (not always successfully), it's important to remember that sometimes even a gifted, experienced crafter or baker can fail.
Sometimes they can even fail at THEIR OWN PROJECT.
Take Tamara, for example, who adapted a recipe to transfer a design onto a cake and ended up creating some really cool NHL Playoff Puck Brownies. She started by drawing her design in reverse using batter on parchment paper, freezing her work, then pouring brownie batter over the whole thing and baking.
Later, she used the same concept to bake up a first day of school treat for her son's first day of first grade – the ABC Block Cakes you see above. AREN'T THEY SO CUTE?
So of course when Canada won the hockey World Cup finals, she decided to celebrate with little Canadian flag cakes. Hey, she was a pro at this process by now, right?
However, when her batter was a bit too runny and she had to hurry through tracing the maple leaf, she started to suspect things might not turn out as well this time…
And just as she feared, when she flipped it all over "my maple leaf could just as well be some jungle pucker-brush."
Says Tamara, "It's not a total fail, but also not the way I wanted it to turn out." Well, we'd definitley still eat them, if that makes you feel better!
Find Robyn at Hollow Tree Ventures for more funny fails (though few failed flag cakes, because she doesn't even TRY to celebrate stuff like hockey victories).
Hahaha, you know what?
I'm glad I didn't try to make the U.S. flag…
Thanks for having me!

The Pierre, New York
This is a very special week, as we are kicking off a new monthly series featuring top wedding planners and the properties where they love to work!!!
To us, the perfect place to start is right here in New York City with Leslie Mastin of Leslie Mastin Events, and one of her favorite venue's, The Pierre. We could not be more excited to highlight this property that is synonymous with classic New York and luxury. The cherry on top: it is also a Stylish Bride client who we helped craft every aspect of the fashion for the wedding!
Why we love Leslie: Simply put, Leslie Mastin is one of the very best people that I know in our industry. I have done several weddings with her, and each time is was a pleasure to work with her and the client is thrilled. After being in the industry for 20 years, she has recently gone out on her own and opened her company, Leslie Mastin Events. I could not be more excited to see the amazing events she plans in the coming years!
These are photos by Donna Newman that are from the recent wedding Leslie and I worked on at The Pierre. The floral design was by Lewis Miller. Isn't it beautiful!?!?
5 things Leslie loves about working at The Pierre:
1) The flow of the space is fantastic from the ceremony to cocktails to dinner, and the floor plan gives you the ability to grow in space as the night goes on.
2) The Catering team under the leadership of Bill Spinner are seasoned pros and a joy to work with.
3) The Chef and his talented culinary team are always open to new ideas. We have served everything from fried chicken and kobe beef burgers for entrees to mini banana split bites for dessert
4) The rooms have just been renovated and the team managing them are very helpful.
5) They pay attention to the small details and go out of their way to personalize the experience to the client.
The Wedding Dress:
Mary's wedding dress story is one of my favorites. Leslie introduced us, and at our first meeting, she told me that she hates to shop, and she's really worried about finding a wedding dress that she likes. After learning a lot more about her and what she likes, I set up an afternoon of appointments for her to try on dresses. Our first stop was Vera Wang, which I knew would be the perfect place to begin as they take such good care of my clients. The second dress Mary tried, she didn't want to take off, and decided then and there that it was her dress! She absolutely loved it, and felt amazing in it on her wedding day!

Rams shut down Warriors
By Rudy Coggins
Published in Sports on September 12, 2009 11:58 PM
SNOW HILL -- Relief on one side.
Disappointment on the other.
Greene Central snapped a three-game skid with a 21-6, non-conference victory over Eastern Wayne at the James R. Fulghum Athletic Complex on Friday evening. It was the first meeting between the two football programs since 1976.
"I'm so happy for our kids to finally get a win," said second-year Rams head coach Ken Grantham. "They've been working hard the last three weeks and coming up a little bit short. To come out and get the win (tonight), maybe they can relax and play football now that the monkey's off our back."
Eastern Wayne exited 0-4.
"It's hard to come up with a positive after tonight because I thought we'd execute a little better than we did," said Warriors head coach Bubba Williams. "They had three big plays offensively and not much more than that ... maybe a couple of long runs (from scrimmage).
"Defensively, we didn't play bad except for those three mental breaks."
But the plays were costly.
Michael Baker's 55-yard touchdown run broke a scoreless tie in the second quarter. Brandon Suit threw a 39-yard touchdown strike to Danny Whitaker before halftime. Kelsey Dixon added a 49-yard, fourth-quarter TD run.
The Rams amassed 315 yards of total offense on 58 plays.
"We talked before the game about being focused on what we do, but not tight," said Grantham. "I think sometimes it got to the point, after a couple of weeks, that you get tight and try to do too much. If you relax, execute, not worry about making the big play and do your job, the little things will fall in place."
The Warriors compiled 197 yards of total offense on 51 plays. They committed four turnovers, but just one miscue led to a Greene Central touchdown. The Rams (1-3) claimed their ninth victory in 11 tries against the Warriors and are 43-25-2 all-time against Wayne County schools since 1964.
"We do have a lot of guys working hard and there are going to be better days," assured Williams, who has yet to put a full team on the field this season.
Lamar Best emerged Eastern Wayne's top rusher with a hard-earned 47 yards on 14 totes. Quarterback Jalen Barnes, in his second varsity start, completed 10 passes for 116 yards. His 28-yard scoring pass to Dominique Sadler spoiled the Rams' shutout bid in the final 7.2 seconds.
Junior linebacker Greg Simms paced the Warriors' defense with 11 tackles. Sophomore safety Rock Floyd and junior linebacker Brandon Williams recorded seven stops apiece.
Fellow linebacker Kenneth Scott recovered two fumbles and tackle Dahomeny Murchison logged two quarterback sacks.

It's a really pretty place. The castle is basically a ruin, but there are still walls and certain sections standing. So wandering in there was an experience.
|The front of the castle
Apparently, this next picture of a well is what you use to wash your hands, like when you enter a shrine.
I actually like it because there are sakura petals floating on it.
And since it was the Sakura festival (桜まつり)they had stalls set up, leading to a carnival-like atmosphere
I really like the fact that they set up the stalls underneath the sakura trees.
Oh yes, and the big project I mentioned. If you follow me on Google+, then you'd know that I gave the game away when I asked for help with my photosphere. After trial-and-error (this was before Hugin replied and confirmed my worst fears), I realised that I had too many images (40 images, to be exact), resulting in very blurry pictures. I've already tried to cut them down, but the middle section still has the most overlap, which means that it's the blurriest. But here you go, this is my best effort:
Aaaand the photo sphere itself (click on the photo in the post to dive in):

Reception in honour of Dr Kiran in Consulate General of India, Melbourne
On 17 April 2015, Dr Kiran entertained guests of the Indian Consulate of Melbourne, the Australia India Institute and the Australian Friends of Asha at a concert. Dr Kiran sang some beautiful soulful Lata Mangeshkar Bollywood songs from the '60's that were just loved by the audience. She was accompanied by renowned ghazal singer and music composer Vinod Kumar, who sang beautiful ghazals and an extremely difficult Indian classical Tarana in Raag Yaman that he rendered beautifully before a packed audience at the Indian Consulate.
Dr Kiran was welcomed by Consul General Manika Jain, who described the work in which Asha has been engaged over the last 25 years.
After the concert, Australian Friends of Asha board member Richard Leder invited Dr Kiran to speak about her work. Richard took the opportunity to mention some of the highlights of Dr Kiran's visit to Australia, including meeting Australian Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove, meetings with DFAT and other government departments, media interviews, meetings with politicians and with many supporters of Asha.
Richard also described Dr Kiran's private meeting the previous week with his family. "We were in the foyer of Kiran's hotel when Kiran saw a beautiful young girl. I can say that because it was my daughter. It was as if there was no one else around. Instantly she put my daughter at ease and made her feel like she was the most important person in the world. For all of the dignitaries that she met this, I felt, was the true Kiran. A wonderful, warm and generous person, who loves children and is constantly inspired by their beauty, their innocence, and their potential."

Russian MPs Joined EU Colleagues at PACE For the First Time Since Boycott
Russian parliamentarians returned on Friday to the EU's Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) despite since suspending their involvement in the fallout around Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014.
The five-member delegation, comprising several outspoken Russian, pro-Kremlin lawmakers, returned on a one-time basis, vowing it would not "beg" PACE to restore its voice in Europe. Its message prompted Ukraine's own PACE delegation to call on the council to maintain its current policy to Moscow until Russia shifts its policies on the status of Crimea and Ukraine's war-torn east.
The conflict dates back to Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. PACE serves as one of the most significant arenas where Russian members of parliament can debate alongside European parliamentarians on issues such as human rights and international law.
When the Russian parliament endorsed Russian President Vladimir Putin's annexation of Crimea in 2014, PACE stripped it of voting rights. In response, Russia's parliament immediately suspended support for PACE and has demonstratively missed the last two January deadlines to ratify its delegation, leaving its seats empty since 2016.
A five-member delegation from the Russian parliament is attending the Standing Committee in Madrid. On the agenda: co-operation with PACE. pic.twitter.com/70gYot7Syf— PACE (@PACE_News) March 10, 2017
Because Friday's discussion pertained to "modalities of cooperation between PACE and the Russian parliament in 2017," PACE invited a group of Russian lawmakers to attend, a spokesman for the Assembly told Newsweek. "But just to be clear: This was not the return of a Russian parliamentary delegation to PACE. It was an exchange of views between PACE's Standing Committee, on the one hand, and representatives of the Russian parliament, on the other," he added.
Moscow accepted the invite, but sent a lineup of delegates including several outspoken and hardline critics of Western policies towards Russia. "The delegation is prepared. They are professionals," Vyacheslav Volodin, Russian lower house speaker, told Russian state press about the team he fielded to PACE on Friday. "That is why I think that that dialog will be established."
Keep up with this story and more by subscribing now
At the helm was Volodin's deputy, Pyotr Tolstoy, who caused controversy in Bulgaria last year by boasting that Moscow did not need to be friendly but could "simply purchase" the Balkan country; he also offended Russian Jews by suggesting their predecessors were to blame for "destroying our cathedrals."
"We are not begging anyone and we will not beg anyone to restore our delegation in PACE," Tolstoy said in his official statement to the assembly. "Russia will conduct dialogue only after the regulation of the assembly is changed so that national delegations cannot be stripped of the right to vote. We strongly hope that our presence will push colleagues towards this choice. In essence you have to decide if you will build Europe with Russia or without Russia."
Ukrainian delegation member Volodymyr Ariev criticized such statements, saying that it is "absolutely normal" to rescind voting rights from a member state of PACE who does not respect the sovereignty of another member state. "We were friends," Ariev said during his live broadcast of the meeting, referring to the closeness between the two countries prior to 2014. "But the Russian government do not want to see friends, they want to see servants."
"We are not going to explain to our neighbors in Ukraine that we are never going to reconsider the decision on Crimea," Tolstoy said, declaring that Moscow had made it clear enough it will not restore Ukrainian control over the peninsula. "That is not why we came here."
While the presence of the Russian delegation showed PACE little sign of progress in the stalemate between the assembly and Moscow, Agnia Grigas, Russian political analyst at Atlantic Council says the visit does show Russia is testing Europe's united line on Russia, something Moscow perceives as weakening.
"The geopolitical context has changed and Moscow will try to take advantage of this to reestablish relations with European countries," she says. "The new Trump administration has implied that relations with Russia could be improved, while the political dynamics in Europe have also transformed post-Brexit and in light of several upcoming elections that could bring far-right parties or populists to power in European countries. As a result the will to maintain a tough stance on Russia is weakening in Europe."
Borja Lasheras, expert on Russia and Ukraine at the European Council for Foreign Relations says "there is some dynamic of rebooting engagement with Russia" in Europe but Moscow is not showing signs of any openness toward make concessions.
"The Russians are not showing leniency, though, and the situation on the ground in Crimea and Donbas (eastern Ukraine) that motivated sanctions remain wholly unchanged," he says. "They are nonetheless trying to seize on possible openings to hollow out common European positions within the EU, NATO and elsewhere after Trump and Brexit."
He predicts that events such as the Russian presence at PACE might in fact just signal the beginning of a conflicting and erratic European relationship with Russia—defined by some public overtures, such as an outreach for friendly bilateral talks with leaders, without halting the military build-up between Russia and NATO, as well as Russian disinformation campaigns in media.
"We will indeed see conflicting messages based on that schizophrenic approach [from Europe] toward Russia," he says.

Research by consumer watchdog Which? shows that many travel insurers have not updated their policies for years, leaving cover inadequate to replace now everyday expensive gadgets and valuables, like mobile smartphones, tablet computers, watches and cameras.
Which? looked at the standard policies from twenty of the largest travel insurance companies and compared the limits insurers set to cover the cost of replacing one item as well as the overall valuables limit that you can take abroad with you. The research found that nearly all had set unrealistically low limits on what people could claim back, especially once the excess had been deducted.
Customers could be up to £375 out of pocket if an iPhone 5 was stolen whilst on holiday. All of the companies Which? looked at had a single item limit for valuables on their standard policies of only £300 or less, with four companies having a limit of only £200.
"Travel insurance has not kept pace with the changing times. Insurers should raise the outdated limits for everyday items like smartphones and laptops or, at the very least, always clearly offer the option of cover at a higher premium. It's not good enough to expect people to use their home insurance policy to pick up the tab", said Richard Lloyd at Which?
More than half of Which? members take their smartphone on holiday with them. However, with three quarters of insurers setting the claims limit for all valuables at £400 or less, many would have ended up out of pocket had it been stolen.
What is more, if a customers' SIM card is stolen and used whilst on holiday, in many cases they would be liable for the call costs as well.
The Which report comes as Martin Wheatley, chief executive of new financial regulator The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) says that some people are taking on the wrong insurance products because they seem cheapest. In a speech to the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) he said: "The fact is most of us don't read the terms and conditions. We're not painstakingly careful assessors of products. We can be quoted a low insurance premium and pay for it, without thinking too hard about the relative merits of choosing between cheap policy A and more expensive policy B, or the charges we might incur further down the line."
A spokesman for the Financial Ombudsman Service, which deals with complaints from consumers about insurance, said problems with claims were rising. During the first nine months of the last financial year (April to December 2012), 1,911 new travel insurance complaints were brought to the ombudsman. This compares with 1,860 during the same nine-month period the previous year. The organisation upholds about half of all travel and home insurance claims.
Some of the most common problems with claims included problems when customers cancelled holidays, medical claims and disclosure – for example, telling the insurer about pre-existing medical conditions when going on holiday.
When it came to home and contents insurance she said some of the common complaints included claims being rejected after storm damage because there was not a single "storm" that caused the damage, and complaints about delays in the time taken to repair a property.

(Boulder set on ocean side rocks by Mother Nature at Sandford,NS)
I've always loved stones. As a child I spent much of my spare time wondering the fields looking at the stone walls and boulders left by those people before me who cleared the rough stony Nova Scotia soil to make it there home. Weathering of stones are fascinating also. With icy storms, wind swept beaches and fields and the rocks of Metamorphic Rocks/ Sedimentary Rocks its a natural art exhibition!
Erosion is the main physical agent responsible for stone weathering. Particular emphasis is placed on the effects of wind and water. Erosion occurs in windy regions with sandy terrain, but in urban areas it is extremely rare and is often confused with other forms of deterioration. The problem of condensation on surfaces and in pores is extensively discussed, in relation to pore shape and size. Physical effects dominate in the smallest pores, and solution effects in the largest ones. Small veins in the stone rise, increase because of pressure , freezing-thawing cycles and micro meteorological conditions favorable for the soaking of monuments are discussed. A final section is devoted to the dissolution of stones and the formation of black crusts as a consequence of the way the stone is washed out or simply wet by water. The intensity of rainfall is important in activating or removing the dry pollutant deposits that form on monuments, especially during the dry periods characteristic of the Mediterranean climate. Condensation plays a minor role compared with rainwater. However, the porosity, geometrical shape and exposition of the stone are also important factors which can characterize different local balances and, consequently, the form of weathering.
(most of this info stolen from Physical weathering of stones)
