Bridging ligand

In coordination chemistry, a bridging ligand is a ligand that connects two or more atoms, usually metal ions. The ligand may be atomic or polyatomic.  Virtually all complex organic compounds can serve as bridging ligands, so the term is usually restricted to small ligands such as pseudohalides or to ligands that are specifically designed to link two metals.

In naming a complex wherein a single atom bridges two metals, the bridging ligand is preceded by the Greek letter mu, μ, with a subscript number denoting the number of metals bound to the bridging ligand. μ2 is often denoted simply as μ. When describing coordination complexes care should be taken not to confuse μ with η ('eta'), which relates to hapticity. Ligands that are not bridging are called terminal ligands.

List of bridging ligands
Virtually all ligands are known to bridge, with the exception of amines and ammonia.  Common bridging ligands include most of the common anions.

Many simple organic ligands form strong bridges between metal centers.  Many common examples include organic derivatives of the above inorganic ligands (R = alkyl, aryl): , , ,  (imido),  (phosphido, note the ambiguity with the preceding entry),  (phosphinidino), and many more.

Examples

Bonding
For doubly bridging (μ2-) ligands, two limiting representation are 4-electron and 2-electron bonding interactions.  These cases are illustrated in main group chemistry by  and . Complicating this analysis is the possibility of metal–metal bonding.  Computational studies suggest that metal-metal bonding is absent in many compounds where the metals are separated by bridging ligands.  For example, calculations suggest that  lacks an iron–iron bond by virtue of a 3-center 2-electron bond involving one of three bridging CO ligands.

Bridge-terminal exchange
The interchange of bridging and terminal ligands is called bridge-terminal exchange.  The process is invoked to explain the fluxional properties of metal carbonyl and metal isocyanide complexes.   Some complexes that exhibit this process are cobalt carbonyl and cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl dimer:
Co2(μ-CO)2(CO)6    Co2(μ-CO)2(CO)4(CO)2
(C5H5)2Fe2(μ-CO)2(CO)2   (C5H5)2Fe2(μ-CO)2(CO)2

These dynamic processes, which are degenerate, proceed via an intermediate where the CO ligands are all terminal, i.e. .

Polyfunctional ligands
Polyfunctional ligands can attach to metals in many ways and thus can bridge metals in diverse ways, including sharing of one atom or using several atoms. Examples of such polyatomic ligands are the oxoanions  and the related carboxylates, , and the polyoxometalates. Several organophosphorus ligands have been developed that bridge pairs of metals, a well-known example being .

Nauruans

Nauruans are a nation and an ethnic group indigenous to the Pacific island country of Nauru. They are most likely a blend of Micronesian, Melanesian and Polynesian ancestry.

The origin of the Nauruan people has not yet been finally determined. It was probably seafaring or shipwrecked Polynesians or Melanesians, who established themselves there because there was not already an indigenous population present, whereas the Micronesians were already crossed with the Melanesians in this area.

The Nauruans have two elements of their population: the native Micronesians and the Polynesians who had immigrated long before. Through these two extremes, diverse traditions came to exist.

In about 1920, influenza spread through Nauru, which took a heavy toll on the Nauruans. In 1925, the first cases of diabetes were diagnosed by doctors. Today, depending on age, every second to third Nauruan is diabetic – a higher rate than any other country in the world.

Tribes
The Nauruans were historically divided into 12 tribes, each with its own chief and a distinct style of clothing, with children inheriting the tribe from their mother's side.

Each of the 12 tribes is associated with certain concepts:

 Eamwit - snake/eel, sly, slippery, good at lying and copier of styles
 Eamwitmwit - cricket/insect, vain beauty, tidiness, shrill noise and manner
 Eaoru - destroyer, harms plans, jealousy
 Eamwidara - dragonfly
 Iruwa- stranger, foreigner, a person from other countries, intelligence, beauty, masculinity
 Eano-straightforward, mad, eager
 Iwi (extinct) - lice
 Irutsi (extinct) - cannibalism
 Deiboe - small black fish, moody, cheater, behavior can change any time
 Ranibok - object washed ashore
 Emea - user of rake, slave, healthy, beautiful hair, cheater in friendship
 Emangum - player, actor

Society
Nauruans were classified into three social classes: temonibes (senior members of senior clans), amenengames (middle class) and the itsios (serf class). While temonibes and amenengames were determined at birth, itsio were usually allocated by being prisoners of war, and were often treated as goods. There was a separate class of castaways that were treated as pets, but they were never as low as the itsios.

Office Genuine Advantage

Office Genuine Advantage (OGA) was a program by Microsoft, similar to Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA), which required users of the Microsoft Office software to validate their copy of Microsoft Office to download non-critical updates and other downloads such as addons and samples.

This is different from Microsoft Product Activation in that activation is required to use the software and is enforced at the software level, whereas validation permits users to download files and updates from the Microsoft web site and is Internet-based. Validation rejects those product keys that have either been leaked widely or those key-generated to pass through activation but not validation.

Starting October 27, 2006, users of Office Update were required to validate the legitimacy of their Office software in order to download files and updates.

On April 15, 2008, Microsoft released Office Genuine Advantage Notifications to Windows Server Update Services as KB949810.

Port Dover Sailors

The Port Dover Sailors are a junior hockey team based in Port Dover, Ontario, Canada. They play in the Niagara & District Junior C Hockey League of the Ontario Hockey Association until the 2016-17 season when the league joined the Provincial Junior Hockey League and placed under the Bloomfield Division of the new league.

History
The Port Dover Clippers were founded in 1988 as members of the Niagara & District Junior C Hockey League.  The Clippers were 1990 and 1991 Niagara East champions and Niagara co-champions.  In 1990, the Clippers would fall to the Orangeville Crushers of the Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League 4-games-to-1 in the Clarence Schmalz Cup OHA provincial quarter-final.  Their western co-champions, the New Hamburg Spirit 83's would fare no better, dropping one of the other quarter-finals in four-straight games to the Great Lakes Junior C Hockey League champion Belle River Canadiens. The next year was more of the same, as Port Dover and New Hamburg were the co-champions, New Hamburg lost the provincial quarter-final to Belle River again (this time in six games), and Port Dover fell to Orangeville again in five.

In 1999, the Clippers took leave of the Niagara District league. Clippers changed their name to the Port Dover Sailors and applied for membership in the Ontario Hockey Association Junior Development League.

In 2006, the OHAJDL changed its name to the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League; the Sailors competed in this league until 2012.

From 2011 until 2013 the team was known as the Norfolk Rebels and split time between Port Dover and Waterford, Ontario.

In 2013, the team was renamed the Port Dover Sailors.

The playoffs for the 2019-20 season were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the team not being able to play a single game.

In 2022-23 The Sailors created a record breaking season led by Captain Benjamin Mason. Assistant Captain Nick D’Agostino set a new record for Points in a Season and won Most Sportsmanlike Player. Goaltender Finn Wilson won Rookie of the Year. Also Head Coach Mike Walker won Coach of the Year.

The team went into playoffs as the 3rd ranked team. Completing their first franchise sweep over the Dunnville Mudcats 4-0, and also won there first 2nd round series game (Jr.C) dating back to the 1990-91 season.

Wellesley Applejacks

The Wellesley Apple Jacks are a Canadian Junior ice hockey team based in Wellesley, Ontario.  They play in the Provincial Junior Hockey League of the Ontario Hockey Association.

History

The Wellesley Apple Jacks joined the Western Junior D Hockey League in 1987.  A year later, the Western League absorbed the Southern Junior D Hockey League.  They operated under the Western moniker for three more years.

In 1991, the Western League was dissolved and the OHA Junior Development League was created.  At this time, the Apple Jacks turned into a team to reckon with.

In the early years of the OHAJDL, the league was dominated by the Thamesford Trojans and Lucan Irish, but come the 1995–96 season the Apple Jacks made their first finals appearance of what would be four consecutive years.

In the 1996 OHA Cup Finals, the Apple Jacks fell to the Exeter Hawks 4-games-to-3.  This came after finishing 2nd place in the entire league with 27 wins.

The 1996–97 season had the Apple Jacks finish second again with 28 wins, but lose in the OHA Cup final 4-games-to-none to the Mount Brydges Bulldogs.

The 1997–98 season was one for the ages for the Apple Jacks.  They finished first in the OHAJDL with 28 wins and made it all the way to the league final for the third straight year.  They defeated the Exeter Hawks 4-games-to-3 to win their first OHA Cup.

The 1998–99 season, the Applejacks again finished first in the league with 30 wins.  In the playoff they made it to the league final for the fourth straight year only to lose 4-games-to-3 to the Lucan Irish.

In 2000–01, the Wellesley Apple Jacks found their footing again.  They finished fifth in the OHAJDL with 25 wins and made it to the OHA Cup final again.  This time they lost 4-games-to-1 to the Mount Brydges Bulldogs.

In 2002–03, the Apple Jacks finished the season in 8th place with 19 wins.  They surprised the league and made it to the league finals again.  Wellesley ended up getting swept by the Thamesford Trojans 4-games-to-none.

In 2006, the OHAJDL was dissolved and the Apple Jacks joined the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League—which was promoted to Junior C officially in 2012.

In the Summer of 2013, the Ontario Hockey Association realigned the leagues and the Apple Jacks ended up in the new Midwestern Junior C Hockey League. The summer of 2016 brought more league changes to the Applejacks. The eight southern Ontario junior "C" hockey leagues amalgamated into one league dubbed the Provincial Junior Hockey League.  The Midwestern league became the Doherty division in the South Conference.

Exeter Hawks

The Exeter Hawks are a Junior ice hockey team based in Exeter, Ontario, Canada.  They play in the Provincial Junior Hockey League of the Ontario Hockey Association.

History

The Exeter Hawks were founded in 1961 as members of the Shamrock Junior D Hockey League.  In the late sixties, the Hawks jumped to the Bluewater Junior Hockey League for a short stint.  In 1969, the Shamrock league changed its name to the Western Junior D Hockey League.

In 1970–71, the Hawks won the Western League and made it all the way to the OHA provincial championship.  They met another junior team from Haliburton, Ontario from the South Central Junior D Hockey League.  Haliburton defeated the Hawks 4-games-to-3.

A season later, the Hawks again won the Western League and found themselves against an Eastern Ontario representative from Bancroft, Ontario in the provincial final.  This year the Hawks were not to be denied as they swept Bancroft 4-games-to-none to win the OHA Cup for the first time.

In 1977, the Hawks won their third Western League title and advanced to the provincial championship.  Their opponents were the Stayner Siskins, which they defeated 4-games-to-none to win their second provincial championship.

The next year, the Hawks again won the Western League and ran into the Lakefield Chiefs in the OHA Cup final.  The Chiefs overpowered the Hawks in the end, defeating Exeter in Game 7 of the series to claim the OHA Cup 4-games-to-3.

The playoffs for the 2019–20 season were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the team not being able to play a single game.

Trans-Aral Railway

The  broad gauge Trans-Aral Railway (also known as the Tashkent Railway) was built in 1906 connecting Kinel and Tashkent, then both in the Russian Empire. For the first part of the 20th century it was the only railway connection between European Russia and Central Asia.

An extensive description of the newly built railway was published in 1910.

Construction history

There were plans to construct the Orenburg–Tashkent line as early as 1874. Construction work did not start, however, until the autumn of 1900. The railway was simultaneously built from both ends toward a common junction. It opened in January 1906, linking the existing network of Russian and European railways to the Trans-Caspian Railway.

On January 1, 1905, the Kinel–Orenburg section of the Samara–Zlatoust line was joined to the Tashkent railway.

The Kinel–Tashkent Railway was the first line to be built across the steppe, replacing the multiple routes once used by caravans with a single, steel path. It introduced the Kazakhs to industrial modernity and tied the distant Governor-Generalship of Turkestan more firmly to the Russian metropole, allowing troops to be rushed to Central Asia and raw cotton to be exported to Moscow's textile mills.

Economic impact
Because of the American Civil War, cotton shot up in price in the 1860s, becoming an increasingly important commodity in the region, although its cultivation was on a much lesser scale than during the Soviet period. The cotton trade led to the construction of these railroads. In the long term, the development of a cotton monoculture would render Turkestan dependent on food imports from Western Siberia, and the Turkestan–Siberia Railway was already planned when the First World War broke out.

Post-revolutionary period
After the revolution the line was blocked by Cossacks under the command of Ataman Dutov. Cut off from food supplies, and unable to sustain itself due to forced cotton cultivation, Russian Turkestan experienced an intense famine. The temporary loss of the Trans-Aral also allowed the Tashkent Soviet a degree of autonomy from Moscow during the period immediately following the Bolshevik takeover, which resulted in atrocities like the Kokand Massacre, in which between 5,000 and 14,000 people were killed.

Route
The line passes through several notable cities in Kazakhstan, including Aktobe, Aral, Qyzylorda, Turkistan, and Shymkent. It connects at Arys with the Turkestan–Siberia rail line toward Almaty, eastern Kazakhstan, and south Siberia.

North Middlesex Stars

The North Middlesex Stars are a Junior ice hockey team based in Parkhill, Ontario, Canada.  They play in the Provincial Junior Hockey League of the Ontario Hockey Association.

History
The team was founded in 1992 as the Parkhill Stars.  After only one season, the team name was changed to the North Middlesex Stars.

The early years were rough on the North Middlesex Stars.  In the team's first thirteen seasons, only 2 years did they have winning records.

In the summer of 2005, the team was on the verge of implosion.  The community came together and saved the team.    In the 2005-06 season, they celebrated their third ever winning record.  In the summer of 2006, the OHA Junior Development League dissolved and was replaced by the Southern Ontario Junior Hockey League.  Since the formation of the SOJHL, the Stars have been a standout team.  In 2006-07, they finished 3rd overall with 30 victories.  In 2007-08, they finished 4th overall with 27 victories.  And in 2008-09, the Stars celebrated their fourth consecutive winning season with 25 victories and a 4th-place finish in the regular season.

Thomas Hickman Williams

Thomas Hickman Williams (January 20, 1801May 3, 1851) was a United States Senator from Mississippi. Born in Williamson County, Tennessee, he attended the common schools, moved to Mississippi and settled in Pontotoc County, and engaged in planting. He was appointed and subsequently elected as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of James F. Trotter and served from November 12, 1838, to March 3, 1839. After his time in the Senate he was secretary and treasurer of the University of Mississippi at Oxford from 1845 to 1851 and was known as "Father of the State University," being the first to propose it and also aiding to secure it.

Williams died on his plantation south of Pontotoc in 1851; interment was in the private cemetery on the family estate.

Composite good

In economics, a composite good is an abstraction that represents all but one of the goods in the relevant budget.

Purpose
Consumer demand theory shows how the composite may be treated as if it were only a single good as to properties hypothesized about demand.  The composite good represents what is given up along consumer's budget constraint to consume more of the first good.

Reason for use
Budget constraints are designed to show the maximum amount of a good, or combination of goods, that can be purchased by a consumer given a limited budget. In a single-good world, the cost of a good cannot be related to any other opportunities. Therefore, opportunity costs cannot be calculated.

The addition of one new good to a single-good market allows for opportunity costs to be determined only in relation to that other good. However, its weakness is that it ignores all other possible choices. Trying to solve this problem by adding even more goods to the market makes analysis unwieldy. Under these circumstances, economic modelers are forced to choose between goods in order to create a simple model.

The concept of the composite good addresses this problem. The addition of a composite good in a single-good model (bringing it up to two) allows for all other opportunities to be accounted for. Since the composite is considered a single good only for purposes of the model, analysis can be made on a two-dimensional graph. Optimal choices represent the bundle of two goods; the first good and the composite.

A final step can be taken in relating the composite good to a unit of account such as money by setting the price of the composite good to 1. Since the prices of all other goods are known, the composite good can be converted into any combination of bundles that represent the optimal choice other than the first good. This final step clarifies the relation of the model to the real world where many goods can be stated in terms of money value. In John R. Hicks's classic Value and Capital (1939), a composite good was used to generalize mathematically from consumer demand equilibrium for an individual in the 2-good case to market equilibrium via supply and demand in the n-good case.
