Tseveen Group
During the summertime, there are so many tourists in Mongolia, and they are really overjoyed to buy traditional felt souvenirs and sandals. She wants to expand her business in order to increase her working capital during the tourist season in Mongolia. Thus, she is requesting a 1,000,000 Mongolian tugriks (MNT) loan to purchase more felt to make felt products. She is a group leader, and she has her hand up in the picture.
Additional Information
About TranscapitalTranscapital is one of the leading non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) in Mongolia. Through 12 branches, it serves mainly urban and semi-urban microfinance clients, including a growing number of migrants in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Of its clients, almost 68% are women and 60% live in ger districts, settlements made up of houses and traditional Mongolian felt tents that lack basic infrastructure.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Mediation Session Set for LPD Sergeant Related to Schrader Case
Steve Sealey and the police department scheduled to meet Sept. 10 to 12.
Published: Friday, May 18, 2012 at 10:44 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 18, 2012 at 10:44 p.m.
LAKELAND | Nearly a year after receiving and challenging a 30-day suspension for violating Lakeland police policy, the mediation process for Sgt. Steve Sealey hangs in the balance.
A mediation session between Sealey and the department has been scheduled for Sept. 10 to 12, but union representatives hope a deal can be worked out before then.
"We think the discipline is excessive," said Detective Nick Marolda, the department's union spokesman. "Things are being discussed, but nothing is in writing yet."
Last year, Sealey and two other high ranking officers were disciplined in a series of internal investigations related to former lieutenant Ralph Schrader, who was found guilty in 2010 of stalking his ex-wife, Lisa, after she became involved with a former prosecutor.
Sealey was suspended a month without pay after the internal investigation determined he had committed nine violations of policy, including interfering with an investigation against Schrader, who was his friend. He promptly filed a grievance with the city challenging the disciplinary action.
The other officers involved included Capt. Greg Policastro and Detective Kelly Boone.
Policastro was given a three-page letter of counseling Aug. 18 by City Manager Doug Thomas that cited a number of deficiencies in the Schrader-related internal investigation Policastro headed in 2008.
Boone, who was involved in the case, was cited for violating 10 of the department's policies. He served a two-day suspension.
Marolda had previously said the investigations created a sense of angst among the officers, mostly because of Thomas' involvement and the "exorbitant amount of money" spent on hiring an outside investigator.
Thomas oversaw the case because one of the other subjects under internal review was former Police Chief Roger Boatner. No findings were ever made in his case and Boatner has since retired.
The inquiries, which cost the city $59,581, were conducted by Donald "Craig" Harper, an Orlando private investigator hired by Thomas, who wanted the case investigated by someone outside the department.
Marolda said he hopes something can be worked out that is fair and can close this long, drawn-out, process.
"We're always wanting to see if any agreement can be worked out before the mediation," he said.

"My boys, follow your Polignac" Louisiana and Arkansas, 1864
As Spaight's men crossed the Red River and moved south on December 20, Polignac's brigade again shouldered arms and proceeded north toward Monroe in northeastern Louisiana. Over fifty miles of marching took the Texans through Winnfield on the 23rd, and sixty more brought them into camp two miles west of Monroe on the 26th. After two days in camp the brigade crossed the Ouachita River at Trenton and went into camp in the slave quarters on the Richardson Plantation east of Monroe on January 1, 1864. The weather turned freezing cold for a time, followed by rain, and some men became ill with pneumonia. On the 3rd, Polignac again moved his camp, this time south of Monroe where shoes were issued to the needy on the 5th. Little more happened until January 17 and 18 when the brigade began a march down the Ouachita River. Thirty-two uneventful miles brought the Texans to Columbia on the 19th. There they crossed the river on the 20th and continued south to Harrisonburg on January 24. The purpose of their march became clear at that point; they were to act as a covering force for Confederate engineers rebuilding the batteries on the river at Harrisonburg and at Trinity. Yet only drill in camp broke the monotony of life in "a poor miserable hilly pine woods country on our side [of the river], and swamps on the other, . . . no provissions [sic] or forage, all must be brought from other points."1
In early February, 1864, Polignac proposed a raid against lightly held Vidalia on the Mississippi River across from Natchez. Taylor approved the effort as a means of collecting horses and mules, clearing the area of jayhawkers and Union cotton planters, and capturing or at least providing an opportunity for desertion from the predominantly Negro garrison at Vidalia.

Apple Photos: A First Look
One of the biggest disappointments for photographers last year was Apple's decision to discontinue its popular Aperture software. For nearly 10 years, Aperture along with its rival Lightroom had created and pushed forward the concept of easy image management. Whilst Adobe came through with a promise to create an Aperture to Lightroom plugin, Apple teased us, ever so slightly, with a new product, Photos. Now that product has hit public beta and we are going to take a brief look at it. As it is a beta, rather than give an opinion, this article will look at some of the feature that should make it into the final version.
Monitor Calibration Using the ColorMunki Smile: Product Review
You might think that you have a great camera. You might also think that you have the latest and greatest LCD monitor and in both cases, you are probably right. The problem is that when these two devices talk to each other about color, they do not understand each other. Put simply, when you are working with your images on your monitor, unless you have calibrated it, you are probably not seeing the image the way the camera took it. Monitor calibration used to be an expensive and time-consuming procedure, but these days it should be regarded as an important part of any photographer's workflow. When my Pantone Huey decided to not work anymore, I foolishly laboured on for a long time without color calibration. However, recently I returned to the fold with at the purchase of the basic but very useful ColorMunki Smile and today I would like to share my experience of it.
An Inexpensive Solution to Geotagging Your Photos: Geotag Photos Pro App for iOS and Android
Geotagging, a relatively new word to the ever increasing lexicon of photographic terminology. It is a relatively simple term that means adding GPS co-ordinates to your images. In practice, it can sometimes be quite a complicated procedure involving bulky devices attached to your camera or manually adding photos to a map in Lightroom or Aperture. There is a better, cheaper option however, using an app. Today we will look at a recent addition to my iPhone, Geotag Photos Pro.
A Review of the Fuji XF 14mm 2.8
Unlike the world of the DSLR, the mirrorless ecosystem is not awash with what could be regarded as ultra wide angle lenses. One that does stand out is the Fuji XF 14mm f2.8. It was released originally as a companion to the Fuji X-Pro1 but will fit any of Fuji's current interchangeable lens models including the XT1. These cameras use an APS-C sensor which means when we add in the crop factor, the 14mm gives an equivalent filed of view of 21mm. Of course, the major advantage of being designed for an APS-C sensor is that the size can remain more compact than an equivalent full frame version. Let's see how this lens performs.
Tamron 150-600mm Lens: A Nature Photographer's Delight
The Tamron 150-600mm announcement and availability was met with enthusiastic interest from bird and nature photographers across the globe. With a price point of $1069 for Canon, Nikon and Sony, that's a lot of reach at a reasonable price. In summary, the Tamron 150-600mm is an excellent price performer and provides solid results on the field.
5 Photo Apps Every iPhone Photographer Will Want to Try
With the arrival of new iPhone models and the improvements (however marginal) to the built-in camera, there is always a renewed interest in photography related apps that expand the usability of the native camera app or that are in some other way of use to photographers. There are lots of cool, practical, innovative, and fun apps out there to choose from — here are 5 that I find particularly worth your consideration.
A Review of the Lowepro Event Messenger 250 Bag for Mirrorless Cameras
Let's be honest, in the grand scheme of things, camera bags are pretty mundane objects Yet if we think about it a little more, we would realize how important they are to our everyday photography. We spend as much time with our camera bags as we do with our cameras themselves so it is important that we choose one that serves our needs. I have recently made the transition from a DSLR based system to an entirely mirrorless system. So I set off to look for an ideal mirrorless camera bag. The one that caught my attention was Lowepro's Event Messenger 250.

HOUSTON — Texans running back Arian Foster is not sure he'll be able to play in Sunday's opener against Indianapolis because of his hamstring injury.
Foster, the 2010 NFL rushing champion, hurt his left hamstring early in training camp, then aggravated it in a preseason game in San Francisco on Aug. 27. He's been limited in practice since, and said Wednesday he may not know until just before kickoff if he'll be ready to go.
"You can't really expect anything with hamstrings," Foster said. "Just taking it day by day. It's frustrating, but injuries are part of the game. You can't escape them, if you play this game for a long time. You just have to maintain them and take care of them when they happen."
Houston coach Gary Kubiak said Foster will be evaluated again Thursday. Backups Derrick Ward, Ben Tate and Steve Slaton shared the snaps in practice in Wednesday, while Foster worked individually on a separate field.
"If Arian's full speed, he can play," Kubiak said. "We want him to play. We need to be at our best to win a football game, but at the same time, we've got to listen to what's going on. As I said all along, the progress has been very good and I know there was more progress (Wednesday), so maybe this conversation is different tomorrow. I don't know. We'll see."
Foster said he ran nearly full speed and was able to make cuts in his individual workout.

- Protective Order Hearings
Attorney for Protective Order Hearings in Tampa
If you were served with a petition for a protective order (often called a "restraining order") and wish to contest the allegations of domestic violence, then you have come to the right place. The attorneys at the Sammis Law Firm only represent "respondents" who wish to contest the petitions for a protective order against domestic violence, as well as repeat violence, dating violence, stalking or cyberstalking.
Currently, restraining protective orders are heard by one of four judges in Hillsborough County including the Honorable Frances M. Perrone, the Honorable Walter R. Heinrich, the Honorable Art McNeil, and the Honorable Jennifer X. Gabbard. The attorneys at the Sammis Law Firm are experienced in representing individuals at these hearings. We aggressively fight to protect our clients from the serious consequences of these orders after a false or exaggerated accusation.
Our offices are located in downtown Tampa just a few blocks from the courthouse. We represent both men and women in Tampa or Plant City in Hillsborough County, FL. We also represent clients throughout the greater Tampa Bay area including Pasco, Pinellas, Polk and Hernando County, Florida.
Avoid the Hearing by Ambush - Request a Continuance
At the Sammis Law Firm, our attorneys investigate the allegations made by the petitioner. Although these hearings take place on an emergency basis, you are entitled to have an attorney that is completely prepared for the hearing. In most cases, we take the following actions in a restraining order case so that we are prepared for the return hearing:
- At the upcoming scheduled hearing ("return hearing") we often request a continuance so that we can take the petitioner's deposition, subpoena any relevant witnesses, and investigate the prior difficulties between the parties to show whether the claims are false or exaggerated.
- If a temporary injunction was originally issued, then the restraining order stays in effect during the continuance (in some cases the court will set a haring on the petition without issuing an interim temporary injunction).
- By requesting a continuance we are able to complete a thorough investigation and prepare for the hearing.
- We then subpoena the witnesses so that we can take their deposition and question those witnesses about the allegations made in the petition.
- We talk with the petitioner's attorney about other ways to address the petitioner's concerns. The protective order is a drastic remedy that should be reserved for only the most serious cases that involve a true act of violence or threat of violence. Injunctions should not be used to harass the respondent or gain an advantage in a divorce or child custody case.
Avoiding a Lifetime of Serious Consequences after an Injunction
Domestic violence injunctions are serious matters with serious consequences that can last a lifetime including:
- Any restraining order is public record that can be uncovered by employers during the most basic background search which can effect your ability to get a job;
- That record and the allegations made by the petitioner can never be sealed or expunged even if the judge finds the allegations to be unfounded after a hearing;
- While the injunction is in effect, you lose certain civil rights, including the right to possess a firearm;
- The judge can order you to get a psychological examination and complete any recommended follow-up treatment;
- The judge can order you to attend 26 weeks of classes for the Batterer's Intervention Program;
- The judge can order you to pay child support or spousal support; and
- The judge can order you to have no contact or only supervised contact with your children.
Contact an experienced attorney in Tampa that handles injunction of protection against domestic violence or repeat violence. We also represent clients charged with domestic violence / battery.

The Allegation of Violence in a Petitioner for Protective Order
Any man or woman claiming to be the victim of violence can apply for an injunction for protection against domestic violence or repeat violence (the "restraining order") in Florida. The person filing the petition is called the "petitioner" and the person that is the target of the petition is called the "respondent." The petition can be filed by anyone over the age of eighteen (18) to protect the petitioner and/or the petitioner's children.
The Court's Initial Determination for the Temporary Order
The court first decides whether it will grant an temporary injunction on an ex parte basis (after only considering the petitioner's allegations). The court will then schedule the final hearing for 15 days later. During those fifteen days attempts are made to serve the respondent with a copy of the paperwork.
In many cases, the court will sign an order setting a hearing on the petition for injunction for protection without the issuance of an interim temporary injunction. In most cases, however, the allegations are sufficient to issue the ex parte interim temporary injunction. Even if the temporary injunction for protection is not issued pending the hearing schedules, an injunction CAN be entered after the hearing depending on the findings made by the Court at that time.
In many cases, the Respondent's attorney can request a continuance for the return hearing in order to take the Petitioner's deposition and further investigate the allegations. The hearing is then usually rescheduled for 15 days later during which time the interim temporary restraining order (if any) is continued. At the final hearing, the Respondent's attorney can cross-examine the petitioner and present other testimony and evidence.
Reasons for not issuing the interim temporary injunction include a finding that the facts, as stated in the Petition alone and without a hearing on the matter, do not demonstrate that Petitioner is a victim of domestic violence, repeat violence, dating violence, sexual violence, stalking or cyberstalking. Therefore, in these cases there is not a sufficient factual basis upon which upon which the court can enter a Temporary Injunction for Protection, prior to the hearing. After the court schedules the hearing on the petition, the petitioner is generally permitted to amend or supplement the petition at any time to state further reasons why a temporary injunction be be ordered which would be in effect until the hearing scheduled in the order.
The Florida Supreme Court has approved Family Law Firm 12.980(b)(2), for an order setting hearing on petition without issuance of an interim temporary injunction.

False Allegation of Violation of an Injunction for Protection
If an Order for Protection is granted and then violated, the petitioner can file an Affidavit of Violation of Injunction in the Clerk of Court's office where the alleged violation occurred, including Hillsborough County, Polk County, Pasco County, or Pinellas County, FL. A violation can occur if the petitioner alleges that the respondent violated the order by having direct or indirect contact with the petitioner.
The police will be notified and can obtain a warrant to arrest the respondent for violating the Order of Protection. In other cases, the respondent can be ordered to appear for a hearing to answer charges that the Florida Restraining Order was violated.
The State Attorney's Office in Florida will review the Affidavit of Violation of Injunction or Restraining Order to determine whether to file a criminal charge for violation of injunction, which is a first degree misdemeanor punishable by twelve (12) months in the county jail. An additional violation can occur if the petitioner alleges that the respondent intentionally touched or struck the petitioner.
If physical contact is alleged, then the State Attorney's Office can file an additional criminal charge of "Domestic Violence Battery" pursuant to Florida Statute Section 784.03(1)(a), which is a misdemeanor punishable by 12 months in the county jail. Finally, a violation can occur if the respondent does not do something required by the Order for Protection, such as pay child support.
Allegations that you violated a Domestic Violence Order of Protection or Restraining Order are treated seriously by the courts in Hillsborough County, Pinellas County, Polk County, Pasco County, Florida. If it has been alleged that you violated an injunction, contact an experienced Tampa domestic violence attorney.
Defense Against False Allegations
We have all read newspaper headlines about horrific acts of domestic violence throughout Florida, including Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. The domestic violence laws were intended to prevent these terrible acts. When a false allegation is made, however, the consequences can be equally devastating.
When an accusation is made, with or without any independent facts to support those allegations, the court will routinely grant the protective order on a temporary basis pending a hearing. Few of the these requests are denied. According to a 2005 article in the Illinois Bar Journal, restraining orders are unfortunately considered by many as one part of the "gamesmanship of divorce." If a false allegation is made, then evidence must be gathered to carefully refute that allegation. The fact that a permanent injunction is granted is a fact that can be used during a Divorce or Family Law case.
A temporary restraining order or domestic violence order of protection is a serious legal remedy with serious legal consequences. Under Florida Statute Section 741.30(1)(a), once the retraining order has been issued and served the subject of the order may not legally possess a firearm. Losing this important civil right demonstrates just how seriously the legislature treats these kinds of domestic violence issues.
Although men are most frequently the target of a domestic violence protective order, it is becoming more common for women to be the target of these accusations. Women are particularly vulnerable to false accusations made during domestic violence protective order hearings.
When the man is the target, it is all too common that a wife or girlfriend will want to end a relationship with the father of her children or resolve financial disputes. By making a false allegation of abuse or fear of domestic violence, the mother can accomplish many things, including having the father removed from the home and preventing the father from seeing the children. The temporary retraining order can be granted after the court reviews only the application made by the person who alleges the incident occurred.
The other side does not have an opportunity to respond until a full hearing can be held. Once you are served with a copy of the restraining order by the sheriff's department, you must act quickly. At the hearing, the court may hear testimony from both sides, and consider other evidence that is presented. The court can decide to continue the restraining order or dismiss it.
Sometimes called the "poor man's divorce court," the temporary domestic violence requests and hearings can be prone to abuse. Only by hiring an experienced attorney can the respondent defend against false accusations often motivated by a desire to gain an advantage in a future family court hearing. Especially when children are involved, it is important to protect all of your rights so that the best outcome for you and your family can be achieved.
If the order has already been granted can it later be dismissed or modified?
Another common scenario occurs when a temporary or permanent restraining order is granted, and then the person who applied for the restraining order (the petitioner) wants to reconcile or get back together with the person subject to the order (the respondent).
The restraining order is in effect until it is dismissed by the court, regardless of what the petitioner tells you. If the petitioner desires to have the restraining order dismissed, the petitioner must appear in the Clerk's office and complete certain paperwork. Even after the paperwork is completed, the order remains in full force and effect until it is dismissed by the court.
The court may set the case for a hearing before deciding whether to dismiss the order. You should never discuss with the petitioner your desire to have the restraining order modified or dismissed because doing so could result in a violation of the order or additional criminal charges. You are not allowed to have anyone contact the petitioner, other than through your attorney under certain circumstances, for any purpose unless provided for in the order itself. If a modification of the order is appropriate, you can file a motion to modify the order.

Craig and Steph's Adventures on Easter Island
We got to the airport and went to the only check-in desk. We checked in and sat down. They didn't let us into the actual gate area until 10:30. They were playing Pink Floyd's "Division Bell" CD in the gate area, and then, as if by synchonicity, we saw someone wearing a "Division Bell" T-shirt. Since the album came out 10 years ago, it seemed a strange coincidence. The album cover does depict stone statues that look vaguely like moai. We waited inside until the plane arrived, and then we waited outside in line to board the plane. It seemed like we knew everyone on the plane. Bill and Romaine were there, the Swiss men, and a bunch of other people we had come to be acquainted with in the past few days. We said our goodbyes and headed back toward Santiago.
We arrived in Santiago at 7:10. We had to go through passport control and then headed out looking for a bank machine. We had managed to make it through Easter Island without being able to withdraw money, but now we at least needed some for the taxi ride to the hotel. We couldn't find a bank machine, so we decided to charge the cab (there is a cab desk where you can pay in advance). The cab ride cost 13,000 pesos. Of course, after we had charged it, I found the bank machine. I took out some money anyway, just to be safe. The ride to the hotel was infinite due to the traffic. There were a ton of buses, etc. We finally got the the Hotel Orly at 8:45. We checked in and talked to the desk clerk about the fact that we still needed to confirm our flight out tomorrow. He took our information and said that he would call and confirm it for us. We were put into room 53 on the top floor. It was very quaint with sloped ceilings and eyebrow windows overlooking the street. The desk clerk called to say that he wasn't able to get in touch with the airline, but he would call first thing in the morning. We got our bags from storage and then headed down to try to find some dinner.
All of the places on the street were packed with people, and we were lucky to find a table on the porch of the restuarant in the hotel lobby, called Cafetto. Craig ordered congrio (conger eel) with potatoes, broccoli, and tomatoes. I got stronganoff. We each got pisco sours. The problem with eating on the street was once again the beggars. The whirling dervish drum player made an appearance. Kids entered the restaurant, put Winnie the Pooh cards on the tables, and then asked for money while their mother hid outside. Women with cups would come up the the window and beg. But the most disturbing things by far were the kids in the road. There was a traffic light about 100 feet from the restaurant. Two 7- or 8-year old kids would go out into the middle of the street in front of the stopped cars, do cartwheels in the headlights of the cars, and then go up to the drivers' windows asking for money. They would continue cartwheeling in front of the cars even after the light had turned green. They came very close to being hit! And this was at 11 o'clock at night! It was like a train wreck, and although it required me to contort myself in the chair to look behind me, we couldn't stop watching. We had panqueques with manjar and chocolate for dessert. Craig topped off the night with an Escudo beer. I was writing in my journal about the beggars and the children's dangerous behavior when a creepy fat guy with a stained shirt and a scab on his nose came over to beg. He started rubbing my back and saying "Señorita...heh...heh..." It was totally creepy and I tried to ignore him, but when he kept touching me I said something to Craig, who then said something to him. He then harrassed some other people in the place and then came back to us. Craig told him to get lost. Meanwhile police dressed like StormTroopers were giving out parking tickets to cars parked in front of the restaurant. We saw one shady guy steal a parking ticket from a car. He then "helped" a guy to park, put the antenna down, and held out his hand for money. The driver obliged. What was this, like protection money? What is it with this place? We had spent several days in Santiago, and three weeks in Chile, and this last night was the most uncomfortable and unsafe that I had felt. Overall the country seems very safe, but we saw so much late tonight that we were glad we hadn't ventured out from the hotel. At 12:30 we just headed upstairs and left all of this behind us. It was time to go home.
