=====Medial groupoids=====

====Definition====
A \emph{medial groupoid} is a structure $\mathbf{G}=\langle G,\cdot\rangle$, where $\cdot $ is an infix binary operation such that


$\cdot$ mediates:  $(x\cdot y)\cdot(z\cdot w)=(x\cdot z)\cdot (y\cdot w)$
==Morphisms==
Let $\mathbf{G}$ and $\mathbf{H}$ be medial groupoids. A morphism from $\mathbf{G}$
to $\mathbf{H}$ is a function $h:G\rightarrow H$ that is a homomorphism: 

$h(xy)=h(x)h(y)$

====Examples====
Example 1: $\langle S,*\rangle$, where $\langle S,+,\cdot\rangle$ is any commutative semiring, $a,b\in S$, and $x*y=a\cdot x+b\cdot y$.
