 ##Mediator
 **Intent:** Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and it lets you vary their interaction independently.
+
+##Memento
+**Intent:** Without violating encapsulation, capture and externalize an object's internal state so that the object can be restored to this state later.
