Mif Kumas is a fictional character of the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
Mif Kumas was born on the planet Calibop shortly before the rise of the Empire. Raised during the Imperial occupation of Calibop, Mif lived in a perpetual state of terror, which reinforced his belief that a state of order and justice needed to be created. His height and physical structure made him an intimidating sight, though his calm words and his voice calling for change inspired countless Calibops to join the fight against the Empire. On Kumas' 30th birthday, the Calibops liberated their planet, following Emperor Palpatine's final death.
Kumas was immediately praised as the leader of the resistance. The New Republic installed him as the first governor of Calibop. He ratified the general election calling for his good friend, Ponc Gavrisom, to serve as senator to the New Republic. He led Calibop through the difficulties of the early New Republic, and openly supported Senator Gavrisom and Chief of State Leia Organa Solo on Coruscant.
Following the Corellian Insurrection, Senator Gavrisom was elected to take over Leia Organa Solo's position. Gavrisom asked Kumas to take over his seat in the senate, an offer he accepted. The planetary governor left his post and arrived on Coruscant, where he represented Calibop to the New Republic through the Caamas Document crisis, the wedding of Luke Skywalker, and other incidents throughout those three years.
When Gavrisom resigned his position, Kumas willingly stepped down as Senator, offering the position back to Gavrisom. Kumas still remained active in the Senate, serving as an aide to Senator Gavrisom and a political analyst during the election of 24 ABY. Following Borsk Fey'lya's election, Kumas was named sergeant-at-arms of the New Republic Senate.
Kumas oversaw Senatorial proceedings during the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, and his post ended with Nom Anor's visit to the Senate. Kumas attempted to protect Chief of State Fey'lya, but lost a great amount of his dignity when the assassination attempt nearly succeeded. Kumas resigned in disgrace from his position and returned to Calibop, where he remains politically active on a local level.

About Hedrick Cooperative
‎
The Hedrick Cooperative House is a cooperative for student housing at Michigan State University. It is the oldest student owned cooperative in East Lansing. It was started in 1939 and was leased and operational by the winter term 1940. It's one of 12 houses that are part of the SHC located in East Lansing.
Hedrick Cooperative History
Wilbur O. Hedrick was a professor for over 53 years, who taught at Michigan State University He was an assistant professor of History and Political Economy. He also taught courses in economics, American Constitutional History, English History, Civil Government, logic, psychology, and ethics.
He was a very popular professor interested in furthering the cooperative movement.
In 1939, with the help of another professor, Orion Ulrey, another professor teaching a course on the Rochdale Principles, an acceptable house for lease was found and the early days of Hedrick House began.
The house was in operation by the Winter term of 1940. Membership was open to any male student who matched their requirements for "good character, willingness to cooperate with other members, and a scholastic average of 1.0 or better" (Hedrick Scrapbook, page 1). Each of the members paid a $10 loan to the house, refundable when the house became self-sustaining, and a $10 deposit. Room and board charges were $5.50 per week which at the time was around 1/3 less than other housing options.
Hedrick House was originally located on 405 Abbott Street and then moved to 903 East Grand River in 1941, after purchasing a house of their own. On January 1, 1954 while the Michigan State Spartans were playing in the Rose Bowl, Hedrick House burned down. The cause was a over-heated furnace. In June 1956 members of Hedrick House constructed a new house at 140 Collingwood, its current location.

In the fictional universe of the the Battle Nexus is a "nexus" of dimensions connecting various worlds, including Earth and the Triceraton homeworld. It is the site of the Battle Nexus Tournament, a competition held every three years in which great fighters from numerous galaxies battle for the title of the multiverse's greatest warrior.
The Nexus is governed by a mystical figure known only as the Daimyo, who presides over the matches of the tournament and maintains the peace in his realm using his War Staff of Ultimate Power. Though the Daimyo has final say over who can compete in the tournament (and, more generally, on any rulings), the individual matches are refereed by his servant, the ethereal being called Gyoji.
The Battle Nexus seems to have an unusual magic of its own; Traximus, a member of the nitrogen and sulphur-breathing Triceraton race, is shown breathing quite as easily as residents of Earth (called "Third Earth" by the Gyoji), while neither use any evident breathing apparatus.
In the multi-parter finale of the second season of the series, the Ninja Turtles entered the Battle Nexus Tournament having followed their master Splinter through an interdimensional gateway. Once there, they learned that Splinter was in fact the previous champion of the competition, as had his own master Hamato Yoshi been before him.
While competing, the Turtles had to unfoil a plot conceived by the Ultimate Ninja - the son of the Nexus' Daimyo - and Splinter's old rival, the evil dragon named Drako. The two had attempted to steal the Daimyo's War Staff and using it to rule the galaxies. Eventually, however, they were defeated. Leonardo and Usagi Yojimbo later return to the Battle Nexus after the fused "Ultimate Drako" scatters the Turtles across time and space. There, they must fight against the two villains once again, but thanks to the Time Sceptre of Lord Simultaneous, they prevailed.
Though the final round was interrupted (And Leonardo and Usagi Yojimbo dropped out after Leonardo was hit by a poisoned dart during their fight), official victory status was awarded to Michelangelo (in a later episode the final match against Kluh was replayed and he won again, also winning a medal for his character in battle). As tournament champion, Michelangelo had a statue of himself erected in the Hall of Champions, alongside his master Splinter, and Hamato Yoshi, and the Ninja Tribunal.
The Battle Nexus was hinted at existing in the comic book version of the turtles in issue 24 of Volume 4. In issues 25 and 26 Leo travels to it. He has yet to learn what the place is except that Splinter had fought there.
