Meditation Outline
Line art is a form of drawing which uses the force of lines for a greater impact. It comprises of either curved or straight lines placed distinctly without change in levels of color or shade to create an impact of two or three dimensional figures. It is normally used to highlight the form and contours and in this shading, color and texture take second priority. In addition to the lines, this art form can also include dots or strong pigment areas. The entire set of lines comprising line art may be of equal width or some of them may be of equal widths or all may be of differing widths.
Line art which came into prevalence before photography is very much in vogue even today!

Traditional Decorating in Sunny Yellow
Nothing cheers a space like yellow
Long a favorite color for traditional design, yellow kicks up high spirits in any style's decorating. This 2011 D.C. Design House dining room gets its youthful glow with daubs of yellow. Though the walls are kept a creamy neutral, yellow isn't confined to accents. It blankets the floor through an inventive paint treatment that transforms the wood into jaunty yellow-and-cream diamonds.
Interior design: Camille Saum
Decorate with Sunny Yellow Orbs
The best decorating features themes that are as subtle as a texture or a shape. Round shapes in sunny yellow replay in this dining room as plates artfully arranged on the wall and in the china cabinet, and again as circles of yellow on the chair backs.
Interior design: Camille Saum
Splash of Yellow
Classic dining chairs are covered in a fun-loving yellow vinyl for a rain-slicker look. The shiny vinyl covers only the front backs and seat cushions. It's fashionably paired with a yellow floral linen on the chair-back insets.
Interior design: Camille Saum
British Colonial Color
A grand antique Anglo-Indian bed launched this master bedroom's traditional design, and a coat of sunny yellow paint on the walls anchored the exotic island feel. Perhaps the most interesting design treatment is the delicate custom Indian paisley stencil that finishes the walls in place of crown moldings.
Interior design: Jennifer Garrigues
A Cacophony of Color
An antique Spanish needlepoint rug defines the essentially sunny character of this English country-style sitting room. Though the decorating pulsates with patterns in rose, green, and other garden-fresh colors, it's the yellow underfoot that has first and final word, grounding the space in optimism.
Interior design: Ellen Hamilton
A Warm Welcome
Lacquered yellow walls impart bracing brio to a guest room in the 2011 Hampton Designer Showhouse. Cool turquoise bedding and upholstery fabrics take down the temperature a degree or two, while a swirl-pattern lemon-and-gray area rug repeats the sunny color in a sophisticated combo that makes it more subtle.
Tip: Lacquer yellow paint on the walls to amp up a guest room or home office.
Interior design: Arden Stephenson
Yellow Sophisticate
Rich yellow-gold is a favorite go-to hue in the lexicon of traditional design. In this living room, it is used to an elegant end with a posh cut-pile area rug, embroidered silk draperies, and damask pillow coverings.
Interior design: David Herchik
Soften Walls with Yellow Fabric
Gracious yellow-gold continues to the dining room, where the walls are softened with a Fadini Borghi fabric featuring a yellow-gold floral on a gray ground.
Tip: For ultra-elegance, cover windows and walls in the same richly colored embroidered silk fabric.
Interior design: David Herchik
Yellow Infuses the Office
A home office's dark wood trim and Tudor architecture required a counterpoint of light to bring the room to life. This traditional design in the 2011 Pasadena Showcase House of Design took a soak in sunshine, with walls and ceiling painted warm yellow and windows covered in a sophisticated hand-blocked yellow fabric.
Interior design: Julie Kays
Temper Yellow's Cheer
Too much yellow in a room's design can sour the cheer. With the walls brought to a yellow lather, this home office regains composure with a quiet yellow-and-cream Mahal rug and a yellow-and-gray blocked linen on the chair. A leopard-pattern gray velvet on the ottoman updates the traditional design. A collection of framed intaglios reduces the expanse of yellow wall.
Tip: Fold in gray to temper a vibrant color.
Interior design: Julie Kays
Insouciant Accents of Yellow
Like a lemon drop candy, yellow perks up the senses in this Cape Cod guesthouse (just behind the California owners' summer home). The bleached wood walls and ocular window are brought into sharp focus with a smattering of lemon yellow accenting the bookshelves, side table, and window seat. A pair of garden stools repeat the happy hue.
Interior design: Maureen Footer
Throw in Some Yellow
In the guest quarters' sleeping area, a single decorative throw pillow covered in lemon yellow on each of the twin beds is just enough accent color to declare the palette a success.
Interior design: Maureen Footer
Pretty Yellow Drapery Panels
Da Vinci's observation that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication holds steadfast in today's decorating. Simple pleated curtain panels in solid-hue yellow make a stylistic splash in this traditional dining room.
Interior design: Julie Massucco Kleiner
Old-World Burnished Yellow Walls
In one of New York City's best apartment buildings, an old-world design is articulated in the living room against a backdrop of warm yellow-gold walls. The traditional color is an appropriate canvas for showcasing a stellar collection of 19th-century art including the Matisse hanging above the fireplace.
Interior design: Marcy Masterson
A Yellow View
Manhattan's historic Osborne Building, New York's original luxury apartments, required a decorating update respectful of the architecture's age and integrity. The entry's walls were enriched with warm terra-cotta Venetian plaster, while mellow yellow-gold beckons in the family room beyond.
Tip: Even when adjoining rooms are visible, it's still safe to change colors from one room to the next if you pick a palette of neighboring hues from the color wheel. Orange-red and yellow are next-door neighbors, guaranteed to live in harmony.
Interior design: Marcy Masterson
Warm up the Walls
This shade of burnished yellow-gold on the family room walls hits the optimum degree of warmth to provide an ideal foil for English chintz draperies in earth tones. The old-world design is as livable as it is timeless.
Interior design: Marcy Masterson
Mellow Yellow
Like any other color, yellow can be shaded to a quieter, less exuberant tone. That's the design choice for the palette of this conservatory in the 2011 D.C. Design House. Pale yellow accents ensure that the soothing mood of an earthy gray and stone palette remains serene.
Interior design: Barry Dixon
Add Color through Art
Framed yellow artwork gently lifts the neutral conservatory from its earthy depths, into the sun. Ten art pieces titled Memories of France, by Paule Marrot, hang inside wall panels, on either side of a table lamp made of antique iron chain.
Interior design: Barry Dixon
Yellow Blaze in a Beige Room
A single bright vase on the conservatory's classical stone-carved mantelshelf breaks up the traditional room's abiding beige. That one touch of vibrant color is the only vivid accent. Other yellows go pale, as with the pastel-hue ottoman, which is given classical character with a Greek key motif created with nailheads.
Interior design: Barry Dixon
Happy Go Yellow
Pale yellow paint on the walls creates an upbeat ambience in the foyer of this Hollywood home on Sunset Strip. The lighthearted hue is counterbalanced with the weighty glamour of an Italian chandelier and the glitz of a marble-and-gilt Empire console table.
Tip: Enrich the palette and the design's cachet by slipping a bright red Tabriz rug into the pale yellow envelope.
Interior design: Timothy Corrigan

Array of Fabrics
Quilters know the shop for its wide range of fabric styles, its continually changing presentation, and its original patterns and project ideas. Customers are just as likely to find bold, modern, and retro prints and patterns as they are classic and reproduction fabrics.Related Links
Wave of Information
Along with fabrics, Quilters Corner offers threads, books, patterns, kits, and gift items that are featured in the store and online. The shop offers three different electronic or print newsletters, and 20 teachers instruct classes from beginning techniques to high skill levels.

Oak & Berries
In Oak & Berries scallop appliqués surround traditional appliqué motifs to cover sashing and border seam lines.Related Links

Oak & Berries Color Option
Tonga Batiks from Timeless Treasures Fabrics are used in this fusible appliqué version of Oak & Berries. For the center motifs, use thread a shade or two darker than the fabric and machine-buttonhole-stitch around each appliqué. On the double rows of appliqué added to the border, match the thread color to the fabric and use tiny zigzag stitches.Related Links
Everyday is Different
"My dad had a business when I was a kid. I worked for him and understood just how much work was needed to wow our guests," Mary Beth says. "We go to great lengths to have a multitude of samples." The shop walls are lined with samples, as evident in this patriotic vignette of Americana (wall hanging), Stars & Stripes Forever (table runner), and Seeing Stars (pillow).

Not much is known about the Dwarves in the [[Fourth Age]]. After the [[War of the Ring]], [[Gimli]] brought a part of Durin's Folk from Erebor to the Glittering Caves behind Deep and founded a colony there. Subsequently, Gimli went on many travels with his friend Legolas, and History lost track of their fate. Through their friendship and influence, the feud between the two races that had lasted for finally ended, shortly before the departure of the last Elves from Middle. It is rumored that Gimli and Legolas eventually boarded a ship that sailed down the river Anduin, out to sea and across to Valinor in the year {{FoA|120}}. Gimli would thus have become the only Dwarf to ever be permitted to cross to the Undying Lands.
[[Durin VII]] (the Last), retook Moria and brought Khazad-dûm back to its original splendor, and the Longbeards lived there till the "world grew old and the days of Durin's race ended".

- "Since they were to come in the days of the power of Melkor, Aulë made the dwarves strong to endure. Therefor they are stone-hard, stubborn, fast in friendship and in enmity, and they suffer toil and hunger and hurt of body more hardily than all other speaking peoples; and they live long, far beyond the span of Men, yet not forever."
- ― The Silmarillion, "Of Aulë and Yavanna"
The Dwarves, or Khazâd in their own tongue, were beings of short stature, often friendly with Hobbits although long suspicious of Elves. They were typically blacksmiths and stoneworkers by profession, unrivaled in some of their arts even by the Elves.
While there were several tribes (Houses) of the Dwarves, the most prominent had been that of the Longbeards.
Unlike Elves and Men, the Dwarves are not counted among the Children of Ilúvatar. Their creator was Mahal, known as Aulë the Smith. Aulë created the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves deep beneath an unknown mountain somewhere in Middle-earth, from whom all other Dwarves are descended. However, Aulë did not have the divine power to grant independent life to any creation, and the dwarves were bound to his will. Ilúvatar came and reprimanded Aulë, who confessed his desire to create more living things, but in repentance lifted his hammer to destroy the dwarves. Even as the blow was about to land, the dwarves cowered and begged for mercy, as Ilúvatar had taken pity and given true life to the creations of his child, including them in His plan for Arda. However, Ilúvatar did not wish them to wake before the Elves, whom he intended to be the first-born. Ilúvatar granted the Dwarves life, and therefore they are known as the Adopted Children of Ilúvatar, but he bade Aulë lay them to sleep in their chamber deep beneath the mountain, and they were to awake after the Awakening of the Elves. [2]
The Seven Fathers awoke in their places in pairs with their wives, though Durin I had awoken alone. The seven different groups of Dwarf-folk originated in the locations where the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves first awoke.[source?]
The seven clans of the Dwarves were:
- Longbeards, Durin's Folk, originally from Gundabad.
- Firebeards and Broadbeams, originally from Nogrod and Belegost.
- Ironfists and Stiffbeards, originated in the Orocarni in the far East.
- Blacklocks and Stonefoots, originated in the Orocarni.
Durin settled in the caves above Kheled-zâram which later became the greatest of Dwarf realms, Khazad-dûm. Therefore the halls of the Longbeards were not located near the halls of another Dwarf-kingdom.
There was also an eighth group of Dwarves that was not a separate member from these seven kindreds, but composed of exiles from each: the Petty-dwarves, who were hunted like animals to the point of extinction by the Elves in the First Age.
Dwarves generally lived far from the sea and avoided getting on boats, as they disliked the sound of the ocean and were afraid of it. [3]
First Age
The Dwarves for many years did not know any other folk, until Firebeards and Broadbeams had their first meeting with the Elves in Beleriand in the year 1250 of the Years of the Trees. From that time on there was friendship between the Sindar and the Dwarves, and they began exchanging knowledge and creating ring-mails and many other works; the Dwarves of Nogrod were unmatched in Middle-earth in smithing. They delved the caves of Menegroth, and adopted the writing of Daeron. It was the Dwarves who told the Sindar about Orcs attacking their Elven kin on the other side of the mountains, which prompted King Thingol to begin a build up of arms which the Dwarves made for him.
Later on a great army of Orcs attacked the Elves, but in the First Battle of Beleriand were defeated and fled. Those that got away ran south right into an army of Dwarves who issued from Mount Dolmed and destroyed them.
After the Return of the Noldor, Finrod Felagund desired to settle himself in the Caves of Narog and the Dwarves of the Ered Luin aided him and gave him the dwarven name Felak-gundu (Felagund). They eventually made for him the Nauglamír. This necklace without equal contained one of the Silmarils, and sparked jealosy and conflicts over its true ownernship rights. These initial conflicts receded by the beginning of the Second Age, but were rekindled to a new intensity by the discord sown by Sauron. They eventually created a rivalry and mistrust between Elves and Dwarves that endured to the end of the Third Age, when Gimli the Dwarf bridged the distance between the two races by developing a deep admiration for lady Galadriel and forming a strong friendship with Legolas the Elf.
Things finally came to a head between the forces of Morgoth and the Elves, Men, and Dwarves in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad. The Dwarves fought for the Union of Maedhros
In early Second Age the most many of the Firebeards and Broadbeams houses migrated to Khazad-dûm from their cities in the Blue Mountains which were ruined during the sinking of Beleriand.
Second Age
The Dwarves had little participation in most of the important events involving the other races. However their friendship with the Elves perhaps became more close than ever; the Dwarves of Moria maintained close connections to the Gwaith-i-Mírdain of Eregion; the Doors of Durin of Moria were built to facilitate the communication between the two people, and was constructed jointly by both races.
When Eregion was sacked by Sauron's forces, the Dwarves assailed them from behind however it was too late to stop him from conquering all Eriador.[4]
When "Annatar" distributed the Rings of Power, he gave seven to Dwarf Lords in order to subdue and control them. However, they did not have the same effect as they did over Men. Dwarves did not shift into the wraith-world and in fact resisted domination. The Rings only augmented their greed and ability to create riches.
At the end of the Age, some of the Dwarves of Moria joined the great host of the Last Alliance of Elves and Men and went to the great War.
Third Age
In Third Age 1980, after centuries of greedy digging for Mithril and other minerals, the Dwarves woke a Balrog that was sleeping in the deeps of the Misty Mountains since the First Age. The Dwarves fled Khazad-dum, which from then on was called Moria, which means "Black pit".
Most of Durin's folk left for the Grey Mountains in the North, while some followed the new king, Thráin I, who briefly went to Erebor in T.A. 1999. For more than 300 years the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains prospered until the Dragons in the far North started to gain strength. Some fled to the Iron Hills, while most followed the the new king Thrór to Erebor to start a new Kingdom under the Mountain. There, they prospered for over 200 years until the dragon Smaug descended in T.A. 2770. The King and his company went in exile South, while most of the survivors went to the Iron Hills.
Durin's folk settled in Dunland, and in T.A. 2790 King Thrór traveled North to Moria where he was killed by the Goblin king Azog. Thrór's son Thráin II (who had received the Last of the Seven Rings from his father before his departure) called all the Houses of Dwarves to war. Thus began the War of Dwarves and Orcs, in which the Dwarves destroyed all the Goblin strongholds in the Misty Mountains culminating to the great Battle of Azanulbizar where all the dwarven clans united. The Goblin hosts issuing from Moria were strong and relentless until the arrival of fresh Dwarves of the Iron Hills. The Battle ended with the victory of Dwarves, but at great cost. The Dwarven clans however were unwilling to repopulate Moria. Thráin therefore came to the Blue Mountains and established his realm there.
The Wizard Gandalf was instrumental into helping Thráin's son Thorin in reclaiming the Kingdom of Erebor. Thorin gathered around him twelve dwarves, mostly from his own line, and was joined by Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins. The Quest of Erebor ended with the death of Smaug. After a quarrel with the Men and Elves over the unguarded hoard, the Dwarves - assisted by those from the Iron Hills - united with the Men and Elves to fight the attacking Goblins and Wargs, in what was called the Battle of Five Armies, where Thorin was killed.
Gimli son of Glóin joined the Fellowship of the Ring as a representative of the Dwarves and befriended Legolas during the War of the Ring.
Fourth Age
Not much is known about the Dwarves in the Fourth Age. After the War of the Ring, Gimli brought a part of Durin's Folk from Erebor to the Glittering Caves behind Helm's Deep and founded a colony there. Subsequently, Gimli went on many travels with his friend Legolas, and History lost track of their fate. Through their friendship and influence, the feud between the two races that had lasted for millennia finally ended, shortly before the departure of the last Elves from Middle-earth. It is rumored that Gimli and Legolas eventually boarded a ship that sailed down the river Anduin, out to sea and across to Valinor in the year Fo.A. 120. Gimli would thus have become the only Dwarf to ever be permitted to cross to the Undying Lands.
Durin VII (the Last), retook Moria and brought Khazad-dûm back to its original splendor, and the Longbeards lived there till the "world grew old and the days of Durin's race ended".
The Dwarves were created by Aulë to be strong, resistant to fire and durable to the evils of Morgoth. Thus they were secretive, proud and hardier than any other race, and never forgot a wrong or debt. They were generally less corruptible than Men. When Sauron attempted to enslave the Free Folk of Middle-earth using the Rings of Power, the Elves completely resisted his power (indeed, his hand had never sullied the Three Rings), while the Nine Rings utterly corrupted the Men who bore them into the Ringwraiths. In contrast, the Dwarves were sturdy and resistant enough that Sauron was not able to dominate them using the Seven Rings. At most, the Seven Rings sowed strife among the Dwarves and filled their wearers with an insatiable greed for gold, but they did not turn them into wraiths subservient to the Dark Lord, and he considered his plan to have failed. Sauron was furious at the Dwarves' resistance, spurring his drive to recapture the Seven Rings from them.
In the Third Age, Dwarves on average lived to be 250 years of age, but it is possible that earlier Dwarves, particularly the Seven Firstborn and other patriarchs, lived longer.
- The following paragraph may be from non-canonical sources and needs a reference** A 30 year old Dwarf is very much considered a young stripling, having not yet reached full adulthood. Thus it was considered very remarkable when the young Dain Ironfoot slew Azog the Orc chieftain of Moria, at only 32 years old. Once a Dwarf has reached maturity, he will stop aging almost entirely, remaining in prime physical condition, or perhaps middle-aged at the most, for over two centuries. However, when Dwarves reach 240 years old, they will begin to age very rapidly and their physical condition drastically worsen, essentially condensing the aging process that Men experience from 40 to 80 years of age into only ten years. It is not, however, unheard of for an elderly Dwarf to live beyond 250 years. Once again Dain Ironfoot was renowned for his health in this matter as he died in the Battle of Dale at the age of 252 years, still wielding his battle-axe and cleaving dozens of enemies during a rearguard action. Even Gandalf the Wizard was astonished that Dain was still healthy and hale enough to lead troops into battle at an age when most Dwarves would be lucky to be on their deathbed, much less engaged in close-quarters combat.
Despite being 4.5 - 5 feet (1.35 - 1.52 m) tall, they were known for their strength and endurance in battle, as well as their fury, particularly when avenging their fallen kin, and for being some of the greatest warriors in all of Middle-earth. They fought valiantly in many wars and battles over the Ages holding axes. In appearance their more distinctive characteristic was their beard which they have from the beginning of their lives, male and females alike; and which they shave only in shame.[5]
Also, as creations of Aulë, they were attracted to the substances of Arda and crafts. They mined and worked precious metals throughout the mountains of Middle-earth but were noted for their gold lust; they committed their share of rash and greedy acts. Among these are the slaying of Elu Thingol and the dispute over the Nauglamír, which stirred up the initial suspicion between Elves and Dwarves to open hatred.[6]
The Dwarves numbers, although they sometimes flourished, often faced periods of decline, especially in periods of war. Dwarves married around the age of 100; few Dwarf-women were born and not all did wed and made up only about a third of the total population. They seldom walked abroad, and that only in great need. Dwarf-women were so alike in voice, appearance and garb when they must travel, that it was hard for other races to tell them apart from Dwarf-men. It was because of the rarity of women that the Dwarf population increased slowly. Dwarves only took one husband or wife in their lifetime, and were jealous, as in all matters of their rights. The number of Dwarf-men that married was actually less than a third, and not all the Dwarf-women took husbands either; some desired none, some wanted one they could not have, and would have no other. There were also many Dwarf-men that didn't want a wife, because they were obsessed with their crafts.
Women were seldom named in genealogies. They joined their husbands' families. Thorin Oakenshield's sister Dís was named simply because of the gallant death of her sons Fíli and Kíli.
The scarcity of women, their scarce mention and their identical looks with the males, coupled to their secretive culture, led many to mistakenly believe that Dwarves were born out of stone, and upon death they returned to that stone.[7]
The Elves claimed that the Dwarves would have no future in the Arda Unmarred, but the Dwarves hoped that Mahal would gather them to the Halls of Mandos with the other Children of Ilúvatar. About their death, some other peoples believed that Dwarves melt into the stones they were made of.
The Dwarven language was created by Aulë, and was called Khuzdul. It was a strange language to Elves and Men, and few non-Dwarves learned it, also because they kept it secret. The Dwarves preferred to communicate with the languages of their neighbors, and did not reveal their real names, rather adopting new names in other languages (the petty-dwarves were an exception). During the Third Age, the Longbeards used northern Mannish names in public.
The Dwarves also had devised a secret gesture language to communicate between themselves in silence, the iglishmêk.[8]
However, one Dwarven phrase is well known: the ancient battle cry, going back to at least the First Age: "Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!", which means "Axes of the Dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!".
The Dwarves called themselves the Khazâd, the name Aulë gave them; this is adapted as Hadhodrim in Sindarin, and Casari in Quenya. Casari was the common word for Dwarves among the Noldor, but the Sindar usually called them Naugrim or Nogothrim, the Stunted People.
Almost all the names of the dwarves of Middle-earth are taken from the Icelandic saga of Völuspá.
According to Tolkien, the "real 'historical'" plural of dwarf is dwarrows or dwerrows. He once referred to dwarves as "a piece of private bad grammar" (Letters, 17), but in Appendix F to The Lord of the Rings he explains that if we still spoke of dwarves regularly, English might have retained a special plural for the word dwarf as with man. The form dwarrow only appears in the word Dwarrowdelf, a name for Moria. Tolkien used Dwarves, instead, which corresponds with Elf and Elves, making its meaning more apparent. The use of a different term also serves to set Tolkien's Dwarves apart from the similarly-named creatures in mythology and fairy-tales.
The enduring popularity of Tolkien's books, especially The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, has led to the popular use of the term dwarves to describe this race in fantasy literature. Before Tolkien, the term dwarfs (with a different spelling) was used, as seen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In fact, the latter spelling was so common that the original editor of The Lord of the Rings "corrected" Tolkien's dwarves to dwarfs (The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, 138).
Other versions of the Legendarium
In the earliest versions of Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology (see: The History of Middle-earth) the dwarves were evil beings created by Melkor.

Britain to lead 'spearhead' force
Britain is to a head up a new rapid-reaction Nato "spearhead" force designed to deter Russian further aggression against former Soviet bloc states in eastern Europe, David Cameron has said.
On the final day of the alliance summit in South Wales, the Prime Minister said the UK would be the first member state to take charge of the 4,000-strong force when it becomes operational at the end of next year.
The UK will provide the largest contingent with a 1,000-strong battle group and headquarters for the force which will be on standby to deploy troops within two to five days in the event of a new crisis.
The Prime Minister also confirmed that the European Union would press ahead with a new round of sanctions against Russia, despite the agreement of a ceasefire with pro-Moscow rebels announced by Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko.
Mr Cameron welcomed the truce, but said that Western sanctions would only be removed if "proper milestones" towards a lasting peace were reached.
The Prime Minister hailed a "hard-fought" agreement by all 28 Nato members to reverse the trend of cuts in defence spending and move towards meeting the alliance's target of spending 2% of GDP on defence over the coming decade - with a fifth of spending to go on major new equipment.
He sought to underline Britain's own commitment to alliance collective defence with an announcement that the Royal Navy's second new aircraft carrier - the Prince of Wales, due to be completed in 2017 - will enter service rather than be mothballed or sold off, enabling the UK to have a carrier available at all times.
The Newport summit has been dominated by concerns over Russian aggression in the east of Ukraine, as well as the violent uprising by Islamic State jihadis in Iraq and Syria.
The creation of a spearhead force able to deploy thousands of troops in a matter of days is intended to provide reassure to allies in eastern Europe such as members Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania who fear they could be the next targets of Soviet aggression.
Troops will be provided by member states on a rotation basis. It will have a headquarters in Poland and will be supported by the "pre-positioning" of supplies of fuel and ammunition in bases in eastern Europe.
Mr Cameron said that Britain would also be deploying 3,500 military personnel on a series of Nato exercises running to the end of 2015 intended to ensure a persistent alliance presence in the region while providing further financial assistance to the government in Kiev.
"We will continue our efforts to support Ukraine, including by providing financial assistance to improve their command, control and communication capabilities," said the Prime Minister.
"Nato members across Europe - particularly in central and eastern Europe - have been reassured that this is an alliance that will meet its treaty obligations to come to the defence of any member under threat.
"No one will leave here with any doubt that our collective security is as strong as it has ever been. The alliance is firmly committed to providing ongoing reassurance to our eastern allies."
US president Barack Obama said the agreement demonstrated that Nato was "fully united" behind Ukraine's independence, territorial sovereignty and right to self-defence.
"This commitment makes clear that Nato will not be complacent," he said.
Mr Poroshenko, who attended the summit as a Nato partner, said the new ceasefire was based on a 12-point plan drawn up on the basis of his phone conversation earlier this week with Russian president Vladimir Putin. All hostages held by rebel groups are expected to be freed by tomorrow.
"Now it is very important that this ceasefire lasts long and during this ceasefire we continue the political dialogue to bring peace and stability," said the Ukrainian president.
Nevertheless, Mr Cameron said that sanctions against Russia agreed by the European Union last weekend and due to be detailed later today will go ahead.
"The announcement about the ceasefire is good news," he said. "We need to look carefully at whether it is a ceasefire or whether it also includes a commitment, as I understand it might, to make real progress on a proper peace plan.
"We should be clear that the sanctions which we agreed last Saturday in Brussels will go ahead. But, of course, if a ceasefire and a proper peace plan are put in place, then it'll be right to look and see how those sanctions could potentially be removed if proper milestones are reached."
Mr Cameron denied the West was accepting a de facto partition of Ukraine or that Moscow was set to "get away" with its aggression.
The summit had sent a clear message to Russia that President Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine were "indefensible and wrong".
"We stand firmly behind Ukraine's right to make its own decisions, not to have them dictated by Russian tanks rolling over the border," he said.
Sanctions have proved effective and Moscow could see that the EU and US were acting together and there would be "more pressure" if aggression continued, said Mr Cameron, adding: "I am confident that we are taking the right approach."
Nato secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen said progress towards meeting the 2% pledge would be reviewed at every future summit of the trans-Atlantic alliance.
"This is no easy task, and there is much work to do," he said.
"But the direction of travel is clear and the security of our countries of citizens is too important for us to cut corners or to cut still more funds."
He said the creation of the spearhead force "sends a clear message to any potential aggressor: should you even think of attacking an ally, you will be facing the whole alliance".
Mr Obama paid a visit to Stonehenge after the end of the summit, the Associated Press reported.
It had been on his bucket list of things to do, according to the agency.

Stymied by state, moving company moves on
A Rhode Island moving-company owner whose application to do business in Connecticut was denied earlier this year by the state Department of Transportation said Monday he has decided to expand farther into Massachusetts instead of opening a branch in North Stonington.
Bob Romano, owner of Warwick, R.I.-based Coutu Bros. Movers, said bureaucratic snafus, additional paperwork requirements and the attitude of DOT staff members finally sealed his decision to pull out of a hearing scheduled in January to have his original application reconsidered.
"It was strictly a business decision," Romano said in a phone interview. "I was not going through all that crap again."
A DOT hearing officer denied Romano's first application to do in-state business in Connecticut last spring, citing a possible "further negative effect" on other moving businesses in the region and saying that the Rhode Island company had not proven the need for another moving business based on "public convenience and necessity."
The DOT decision in May created a backlash among free-enterprise advocates, with Tony Sheridan, chief executive of the Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut, among those promising to attend the next hearing to support Romano's application. Several local officials, including former Republican state Sen. Pierce Connair, a Mystic real estate agent who had been prepared to lease office space in North Stonington to Coutu Movers, pointed out that the DOT decision seemed at odds with Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's oft-stated promise that "Connecticut is open for business."
"We've got so many regulations we're putting ourselves out of business," Connair said Monday in a voicemail message. "I think it's a tragedy .... It's un-American."
But DOT spokesman Judd Everhart said trying to paint the agency's decision as anti-business was a canard.
"The original denial was based on existing requirements, i.e., that the applicant must demonstrate that there is a need for additional household goods moving services in a specific geographical area of the state," Everhart said in an email. "It had nothing to do with Connecticut not being 'open for business' as the applicant claimed in the past."
Romano's original application had been opposed by two competitors, Atherton & Sons Moving & Storage in Pawcatuck and Barnes Moving & Storage in Mystic, whose owners cited a decline in their own businesses over the past few years. One of the businesses was planning to fight Romano's application again, but the DOT could not provide the information on which one had been intending to appear at a hearing in January.
Romano said he spent more $6,000 to comply with DOT requirements and was shocked to learn that his initial application was denied by Connecticut hearing officer Sheldon Lubin, whereas Massachusetts approved his application for a license to do business in only 15 minutes.
"It's a shame that free enterprise is not allowed to flourish in Connecticut," Romano said. "Massachusetts actually welcomed me and reached out to me to expand my operation there."
Romano said he spent $177 to reapply for a license to do business in Connecticut, and was at first heartened by the response at DOT. But things went down from there, he said, when the agency soon after told him that it had lost all the paperwork he had sent by certified mail (still managing to cash the check that was sent in the same mailing), then insisting on updated financials (because the DOT lost his packet of information) and then requesting other paperwork that had not been an issue in his initial filing.
"They were trying to upset you with every phone call," Romano said. "Dealing with that agency - I couldn't get over that fact."

Kathryn Bigelow's taut political thriller, Zero Dark Thirty, a contender for an Academy Award in the best picture category, has reopened a heated debate on the efficacy and/or morality of coercive interrogation methods to extract information from suspects deemed to be terrorists.
The two hour-plus movie turns on the exhaustive manhunt for Osama bin Laden, the spiritual and operational leader of Al Qaeda, the Islamic fundamentalist organization that claimed responsibility for the terrorist events of Sept. 11, 2001.
During that day of infamy, an episode roughly comparable to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, 19 Arab hijackers recruited and trained by Al Qaeda deliberately crashed three commercial airliners into the Twin Towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., killing some 3,000 people in the worst terrorist incident in American history.
By way of reaction, the United States invaded Afghanistan – where a reactionary Taliban government had terrorized a nation and where Al Qaeda, its guest, had masterminded the 9/11 plot – and launched a war on global terrorism. Although the United States succeeded in unseating the Taliban, scattering its leaders and giving Afghanistan a new lease on life, it signally failed to find Bin Laden, even as it posted a $25-million reward for his capture and tracked down several of his chief subordinates.
In the intervening years, Bin Laden taunted the United States by releasing a series of provocative videos. Still, he could not be found. But in May 2011, the United States, having ascertained Bin Laden's whereabouts in a fortified compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, finally exacted vengeance as U.S. commandos shot and killed him in his residence and thereby achieved a measure of closure.
Zero Dark Thirty, which landed in Canadian theatres earlier this month after opening in the United States in December, unfolds over a 10-year period in semi-documentary style and focuses on the manhunt for the fugitive Bin Laden, America's number 1 enemy.
The central character in Bigelow's fast-paced and suspenseful film, Maya (Jessica Chastain), is a smart and obsessive Central Intelligence Agency operative whose search for Bin Laden is facilitated by the detection of his trusted personal courier in the flyblown Pakistani town of Peshawar.
The discovery of the courier was indubitably a factor in solving the puzzle of Bin Laden's disappearance after 9/11. But in retrospect, how important were coercive interrogations?
In Zero Dark Thirty, nominated for five Academy Awards, there are a succession of gut-wrenching scenes in which suspected terrorists are brutally interrogated through a technique known as waterboarding.
Certainly, Dan (Jason Clarke), one of the American interrogators, is convinced it works. As he puts it in an early scene, "In the end, everybody breaks, bro. It's biology." He delivers this in-your-face observation after questioning a suspect whose arms are strung up to the ceiling in a clandestine detention centre, or black site. These sites, which were part and parcel of the CIA's detention and interrogation program, were opened after 9/11 by the Bush administration but discontinued by President Barack Obama shortly after his inauguration in January 2009.
Bigelow and her screenwriter, Mark Boal, who collaborated in the Academy Award winning film The Hurt Locker, do not even imply that torture in and of itself led to the daring Navy Seals raid that sealed Bin Laden's fate.
Nonetheless, three U.S. senators, Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin and Republican John McCain, issued a critique of Zero Dark Thirty, claiming it is "grossly inaccurate and misleading" in its suggestion that coercive interrogations gave the CIA the information it needed to nail Bin Laden.
The CIA's deputy director, Michael Morell, levelled a similar accusation, charging that the 157-minute film "creates the strong impression" that torture was the key to finding Bin Laden. "That impression is patently false," he said. "The truth is that multiple streams of intelligence" prompted CIA analysts to conclude that Bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad, a hamlet close to Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
The notion that torture broke the Bin Laden case was, ironically, legitimized by two former high-ranking CIA officials.
Jose Rodriquez, who supervised the CIA's counter-terrorism operations, opined in a Washington Post piece that the hunt for Bin Laden "stemmed from information obtained from hardened terrorists who agreed to tell us some (but not all) of what they knew after undergoing harsh but legal interrogation."
Michael Hayden, the last CIA director appointed by George W. Bush, wrote in a Wall Street Journal article that "a crucial component" of the CIA's data was provided by detainees who had been "subjected to some form of enhanced interrogation."
Zero Dark Thirty, which unfolds to terrorist bombings in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, London, Islamabad and New York City, comes down somewhere in the middle on this issue, which is where the unsullied truth usually lies.
By all accounts, the information gathered by the United States on Bin Laden originated from a variety of sources: the hard slog of field work, wiretaps placed on telephone calls and emails, satellite images gleaned from patterns of daily life in Bin Laden's compound and, last but not least, from coercive interrogations in black sites in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Poland.
In one such centre in Pakistan, Maya, a red-haired, porcelain-skinned, blue-eyed beauty who must overcome implicit sexist assumptions about her resolve, threatens to send a suspect to Israel if he does not co-operate.
The implication here is that he will be treated far more roughly in Israel, where the Supreme Court has sanctioned the use of moderate physical pressure to extract life-saving information from terrorists.
Maya, perhaps a composite of several CIA agents, proves beyond a doubt that a woman can be as tough as a man. Indeed, a colleague describes her as a "killer." In portraying Maya, Chastain exudes grit and grace, qualities that enabled her to win last week's Golden Globe award as best actress of 2012.
Incredibly focused, Maya convinces her superiors that the U.S. homeland can only be protected if Bin Laden is eliminated. She also persuades them that he is holed up in Abbotabad.
The 40-minute raid on his redoubt is realistically filmed in real time and in green-tinted hues as whirring helicopters disgorge commandos wearing night-time vision goggles. They blow up doors, kill a few of its residents and carry away incriminating documents, computer hard drives and a body bag containing Bin Laden's corpse. Bin Laden himself is never fully seen, except quickly in a digital photograph snapped by a commando after his death.
Far from being jingoistic in substance or tone, Zero Dark Thirty tells its story earnestly and in detached fashion, letting viewers reach independent conclusions.

Chemosphere Residence
Los Angeles Landmark: 2000
Lautner designed this building as a family residence for Lenord Malin an aerospace engineer in his twenties. Malin inherited the land that is now occupied by Chemosphere from his father-in-law . The Southern California Gas Company sponsored the heat in exchange for using the house in its advertisements. The Chem Seal manufacturing company also provided space age manufacturing technology normally used in the aerospace industry during a time in which the former Soviet Union and the U.S. were competing to send a man to the moon.
The Chemosphere contains a nineteen foot in diameter, three foot thick pole like foundation that is settled underneath the rocks in the hill. Attached to it, is a five foot in diameter, twenty nine foot high concrete column containing a two foot hallow for water supply and sewage flow. The column supports the sixty foot in diameter octagon shaped platform made out of steel and wood. To provide more foundational stability for the octagonal structure, eight metal beams that are attached to the column under the home slant outward and are attached to the octagonal home. Whether metal beams are supporting the roof or the bottom of the structure, all the beams are slanted upwards and are attached to the octagon structure. Each one is positioned around the column giving the structure a circular motion type of effect.
The home itself contains a living room, fireplace, a skylight in the middle of the living room, a large living room, dining room, and kitchen. The northern portion of the house where the living room, dining room, and kitchen are built faces the city. The other half of the structure containing multiple bedrooms faces the hills. The structure almost becomes a manifestation of the tension between the city encroaching upon nature, and the home becomes the balance of both with a sense of aesthetic motion that is symbolic of the possibilities of technological advancement.
completed in 1960.
The Chemosphere seems to magically be floating up from its site overlooking the hills of Southern, CA. It is sited in a suburban setting.
The structure Chemosphere adapted usage of metal, glass, and concrete under the modernist sensibility of maintaining minimalist functional order as seen in how the the structure is supported and how the glass windows of the home capture the natural landscape of Southern, CA hills. As Natalie Haddad mentions in her article entitled "John Lautner", Lautner differed from Frank Lloyd Wright because of his primary usage of concrete for his structures instead of stone and wood typically found in Wright structures. The interior ceiling highlights the wooden arches that are shaped like the octagonal shape of the home. Instead of ornate or a classical structure normally associated with the aristocracy, the color patterns in the interior of the home depict shades of brown, and a functional interior design that signals an aesthetic geared towards the working class despite the fact that most of Lautner's homes were built for the well off in Los Angeles.
After WWII, the emergence of the Cold War produced an American culture obsessed with the space race supported a futuristic aesthetic. By the late 1940s, John Lautner designed the Googie Coffee house (built in 1949) launching the style Googie architecture. According to Alan Hess, in the journal entitled " The Origins of the Golden Arches", in the "1950s Southern Californian strip-oriented coffee shops, bowling alleys, gas stations, car dealerships, motels, and car washes" adopted the Googie futuristic style. Hess also makes the argument that the first Mcdonalds (built in 1953), with its triangulated shape roof and sleek use of glass, help spread the Googie style. These structures often used geometric shapes to show the illusion of motion, and mirrored an almost Jetson cartoon like space age aesthetic. Chemosphere has an octagon shape mirroring a circular spacecraft, and is ultimately a marriage between space age manufacturing and the natural surroundings of the Southern, California hills. Symbolically, the aesthetics of Chemosphere mirrors the prosperous national obsession with the possibility that awaits America's entrance into the space age in the 1960s. The structure, with its circular shape, is reminiscent of a space craft about to enter the orbit of space. The production of the structure resembles the desire that manufacturing companies had to use natural resources and man made products in Los Angeles to support a space age aesthetic geared towards American progress during the beginning of the Cold War.
The Chemosphere home, being built on a Southern, CA, hill and breaking away, in terms of shape, from the triangulated homes of the Hollywood Hills, perpetuate a type of Los Angles lifestyle. The Chemosphere home, like many of Lautner's homes, sold a type of secure LA lifestyle that suited the literal natural terrain of Southern, CA. Those who lived in such homes literally owned a piece of space that balanced a client's desire to see nature while allowing him/her to maintain a city sensibility. The aesthetics of the interior of Chemosphere suite a working class sensibility and functionality as seen in how the interior uses geometric shapes that perfectly articulate the shape of the home. Clients like Malin (the first owner of Chemosphere), and Leo Harvey (owner of the Harvey House and self made millionaire) were either coming from the middle/working class and gained their riches later in life.
As a former student of famed modernist architect Frank Loyd Wright, John Lautner's structures are often placed in nature like settings as if to convey how futuristic homes can serve functional purposes when placed in the middle of nature. Lautner worked mostly in Los Angeles. As captured by Marlene Laskey in an oral history where John Lautner talks about his structures, John Lautner expresses that Chemosphere took a "little under 10 years" to finish. In the Los Angeles context, Lautner homes married industry with modernist sensibility in a landscape that was metaphorically seen as a untouched natural aesthetically beautiful untouched space regularly illuminated by the sun and the landscape. The aesthetic nature of Chemosphere comes in the form of the usage of a octagonal geometric shape, and the metal beams of the structure coming from the column or base of the house is reminiscent of the triangular shaped homes in parts of the Hollywood Hills. The structure also uses the landscape to assert its dominance, while perfectly integrating into the landscape. Spatially, the structure reconciles the tension between the city and nature by giving the inhabitant the advantage of seeing the landscape from the inside of a modern home.
Lautner's Chemosphere is iconic of the midcentury L.A. lifestyle. It became one of the most important and often referenced LA modernist structures in Southern, CA. It defined Lautner as an innovative Los Angeles modernist architect and in 2000 Angelick Taschen gained the 2000 Los Angeles Conservancy award for her effort towards restoring the home to its original glory.
The popularity associated with Lautner's homes, especially the emphasis placed on Chemosphere, sprang up during the late 1990s as a result of several of his structures being torn down. The preservation of many Lautner homes can be attributed to the John Lautner Organization and the Los Angeles Conservancy. This desire to preserve Chemosphere and document its innovative architectural style, comes from the fact that the home itself is emblematic of Los Angeles modernism. Visually, the structure suggests flight, capturing a Space Age aesthetic sensibility that became a major part of mid-century American Pop culture.

Buy Silver Bullion Coins, Bars & Rounds
Where is the best place to buy Silver coins and bullion? Buying Silver rounds and coins is an excellent way to get started in Precious Metals
Silver is produced in the form of Silver coins, Silver bars and Silver rounds from mints and Precious Metal refiners around the world. Silver is one of the world's most important commodities and an affordable Precious Metal investment option. For thousands of years, Silver bullion has served as a primary monetary metal, but today it is most commonly used as an industrial commodity. As an investment, Silver can play an important role in a modern diversified portfolio. Silver prices generally move independent of stocks and can provide a bright spot in your investment portfolio during an economic downturn.
If you're new to investing in Silver, you can learn more about how to buy Silver or what Silver products to buy in our Education Center.
Bullion Coins
Some Silver coins stay in families for generations, serving as both a bullion investment and collectible. Silver coins realize collectibility because of their design, scarcity and demand. Each year, new coins are minted in different variations which may never be produced again. APMEX only sells Silver coins minted by the most trusted mints in the world. These mints include the United States Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, Perth Mint, Austrian Mint and more.
Silver coins are sold at a premium above Silver spot prices because of their unique designs and limited availability. Coins are usually sold in brilliant uncirculated condition, having not been used as actual currency. Once a coin loses its luster, it begins to lose its status in terms of condition. The highest quality Silver bullion coins are known as proof coins. Popular for their intricate designs, proof coins are struck more than once, which leads to their brilliant shine.
Buy Silver Coins
A Silver coin can come in a variety of sizes from 1/25 oz to 1 kilo, and every size in between. There are mints and refiners all over the world that create the best unique and valuable Silver coins. Whether you are a beginning or experienced collector, you will find a coin that fits your interests. The most common purchases are 1 ounce Silver coins, often bought by investors and Silver collectors alike. Some of our most popular Silver coins include:
New investors will find great comfort and emotional attachment from buying Silver coins. You can expect to pay more for a Silver coin than its Silver round counterparts, but because of the coin's scarcity and collectibility, you'll have a more fulfilling buying experience. There is almost an unlimited variety of Silver coins for your investing pleasure.
bullion Bars
Buying Silver bars is one of the most cost-effective, safest and easiest ways to own physical Silver. Silver bars are the bullion of choice for many investors because they cost less over Silver spot price than Silver coins. Additionally, their uniform shape and size mean Silver bars are easy to store, count and transfer. APMEX sells Silver bars produced by Sunshine Mint, PAMP Suisse, RCM, Johnson Matthey and other respected Silver mints. Each Silver bar is stamped with its exact Silver weight, fineness, and a serial number for added security.
Buy Bullion Bars
Silver bars come in a variety of sizes from 1 gram bar to 1 kilo Silver bar or more, and every size in between. The most commonly traded Silver bars are 1 ounce, often purchased by avid investors. Some of our most popular Silver bars include:
No matter which form of Silver bar you choose to invest in, you can rest assured knowing you'll own the most authentic form of currency in the history of the world.
Silver Bullion Rounds
Investors who are solely interested in Silver's stable purchasing power can find security in buying Silver rounds. Silver rounds are circular discs often manufactured by private mints, though sometimes produced by government mints. They have no "face value" and are not recognized as legal tender. Silver rounds are not quite as diverse or collectible as Silver coins but are an excellent choice for those who want to invest in Silver as an anti-inflation hedge.
Buy Silver Bullion Rounds
Silver rounds come in a number of different sizes from 1 gram round to 10 ounces of Silver, and every size in between. The most commonly traded Silver bullion rounds are 1 ounce or less. Some of our most popular Silver rounds include:
Though not as collectible as some Silver coins, Silver rounds are minted to an equally high standard with beautifully detailed designs and clean striking. Silver rounds typically sell for a lower premium relative to spot Silver price and are an excellent addition to a mixed investment portfolio of Silver rounds, Silver coins
Silver Bullion Coin Price
Silver prices often fluctuate separately from money markets, including the stock market. With factors such as elections, political intrigue, shifts in the supply and demand market plus more play an important role in determining where the Silver coin and bullion price goes.
Silver coins do come in various sizes with a wide selection available. Private mints and government mints produce high quality Silver that is available for you at competitive prices. In understanding the role Silver price plays to collectors and investors, you will have a better understanding of the value of your purchase. Shop bullion coins and rounds today at APMEX.
