Advent
Advent (from the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming") is a season of the Christian church, the period of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus; in other words, the period immediately before Christmas. It is the beginning of the Western liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday. The Eastern churches begin the liturgical year on 1 September.[1] The Eastern Christian equivalent of Advent is called the Nativity Fast but it differs both in length and observances.
The progression of the season may be marked with an Advent calendar, a practice introduced by German Lutherans. At least in the Roman Catholic and Lutheran calendars, Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before December 25; in other words, the Sunday between November 27 and December 3 inclusive.
Latin adventus is the translation of the Greek word parousia, commonly used in reference to the Second Coming. Christians believe that the season of Advent serves a dual reminder of the original waiting that was done by the Hebrews for the birth of their Messiah as well as the waiting that Christians today endure as they await the second coming of Christ.

USB Memory
USB memory is a removable and rewritable memory device that is much smaller than a floppy disk. It is a data storage device with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. Thus, allowing a USB memory to be simply plugged into any computer or laptop to store data. They are light weight and weigh up to an ounce on an average. USB memory is available with differing storage capacities from 64MB to 128 GB (memory capacity three times more than a floppy disk). Innovation and improvements on this device are making way for larger data holding capabilities.
Trek Technology and IBM introduced the first commercial USB memory in 2000. They encompass many old technologies with additional benefits like smaller size, low cost and lower power consumption. USB memory functions as a hard drive when connected to the USB port. USB Memory has some apparent advantages over other storage devices with particular reference to floppy disk. They have replaced floppy disks on a large scale since they are really simple to use, small in structure that can be carried in pockets, higher storage capacity, light weight, works faster than the floppy disk, durable design and high reliability.
USB memory has this unique feature that allows 1 million erase cycles and can last as long as 10 years. These factors eventually led to floppy drive to almost obsolescence. Nowadays computers are available without any floppy drive and more USB ports.
USB memory consists of a small printed circuit board implanted in a plastic, steel or rubber outer cases, hence making them prone to lesser damage. They have a USB connector one end of the USB memory which can be easily plugged into any USB port. Since the USB connector can damage things in your bag they are usually protected with a cap that can be removed or retraceable into the USB memory body.
USB memory has been widely accepted by people around the world due to its simple application. Manufactures have started incorporating these devices which are normally carried like watches, key rings, pens and other useful items. This could be done only due to its stout and small body.

Love
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection[1] and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my boyfriend"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
Love is an extremely powerful emotion; it can be irresistible and people are often bound to pursue their love interests. Love is a major theme in literature, poetry, and film.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love[2] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.[3] Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts
