A windmill is a machine that is powered by the energy of the wind. It is designed to convert the energy of the wind into more useful forms using rotating blades or sails. The term also refers to the structure it is commonly built on. In much of Europe, windmills served originally to grind grain, though later applications included pumping water and, more recently, generation of electricity. Recent electricity-generating versions are referred to as wind turbines
Fixed windmills
A fixed windmill typical of the Cyclades Islands
Fixed windmills, oriented to the prevailing wind were, for example, extensively used in the Cyclades islands of Greece. The economies of power and transport allowed the use of these 'offshore' mills for grinding grain transported from the mainland and flour returned. A 1/10th share of the flour was paid to the miller in return for his service. This type would mount triangular sails when in operation.
Windmills that turn to face the wind
In North Western Europe, the horizontal-shaft or vertical windmill (so called due to the dimension of the movement of its blades) dates from the last quarter of the 12th century in the triangle of northern France, eastern England and Flanders. Joseph Needham states that the earliest known reference came in 1191 by a Dean Herbert of East Anglia, who supposedly competed with the mills of the abbey of Bury St Edmunds.[5] These earliest mills were used to grind cereals. The evidence at present is that the earliest type was the post mill, so named because of the large upright post on which the mill's main structure (the "body" or "buck") is balanced. By mounting the body this way, the mill is able to rotate to face the (variable) wind direction; an essential requirement for windmills to operate economically in North-Western Europe, where wind directions are various.

Modern windmills
The most modern generations of windmills are more properly called wind turbines, or wind generators, and are primarily used to generate electricity. Modern windmills are designed to convert the energy of the wind into electricity. The largest wind turbines can generate up to 6MW of power (for comparison a modern fossil fuel power plant generates between 500 and 1,300MW).
With increasing environmental concern, and approaching limits to fossil fuel consumption, wind power has regained interest as a renewable energy source. It is increasingly becoming more useful and sufficient in providing energy for many areas of the world.
One area where turbines have become feasible is in the Midwestern United States, due to great amounts of wind.

In India
The state in India that has seen substantial growth in wind power generation is Tamil Nadu. A major wind farm is operational in Muppandal (Figure 2) - a small coastal town near Kanyakumari. Muppandal region has one of the largest concentrations of wind generators and generates an aggregate of 540 MW of electricity. It has presented employment opportunities for the youth and brought prosperity to an otherwise barren area.
Textile is a material made with natural or artificial fibres. most probably artificial fibres or yarn.Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce long strands known as yarn.Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibres together (felt). The words fabric and cloth are commonly used in textile assembly trades (such 
A toy is an object used in play. Toys are usually associated with children and pets, but it is not unusual for adult humans and some non-domesticated animals to play with toys. Many items are manufactured to serve as toys, but items produced for other purposes can also be used as toys. A child may pick up a household item and 'fly' it around pretending that it is an airplane, or an animal might play with a pinecone by batting at it, biting it, chasing it, and throwing it up in the air. Some toys are produced primarily as collector's items and are not intended to be played with.Barbie girl is one of the most famous toy. 
The word real estate arrives to our daily life only before a short time. American Heritage Dictionary Description of real estate is the land, including all the natural resources and permanent buildings on it. Olden days to sell or buy a plot or house we should meet a broker and tell our needs/demands to him. He will gave us a short list of places meets our needs in a small regional circle. But today our needs increase and plots decrease. So this brokers can't successfully provide our needs. In this situation large firms having many local branches emerges covering a large circle of area.They provide fast access to the needs of a person with full satisfaction to his needs and conditions.As a business it had grown a great.

As we know with the growth of IT field many of the products are marketed using Internet or use it to promote their products. For example The Women’s Tennis Association, now known as the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour, is trying to capitalize on the popularity of its stars with a $15 million global branding campaign.Why is video the best way to go? Because, today, the average attention span of a web user today is measured in seconds. Once delivered to you on a red carpet by a major search engine search query, or by a recommendation link on a review blog, the new web visitor applies only a very limited effort and time to see whether he can make sense of what you are communicating / selling/proposing and to decide whether your content, style, look and approach are a good fit for what he/she was actually looking for. If you can engage him interest right there and then, and offer a fast, highly visual way to let they discover what your "message" is.
