Mighty Jambo Circus Academy in Githurai is a professional acrobatic training program for teens and youth from Nairobi's informal settlements. For 2 years, room and board is provided; from 5:30 to 18:30, they practice handstands, juggle, and perform acrobatic acts on the trapeze, unicycle and tight rope. Via Mighty Jambo's outreach program, the students teach workshops with kids in Githurai and perform at local schools. Githurai slum is a busy residential and market area 12km from central Nairobi, yet half of the population (of about 320,000) lives below the poverty line. Residents face problems such as a lack of adequate housing, water shortages, sanitation and waste removal issues. Many families cannot afford to pay school fees for their children. Mighty Jambo provides an alternative space for kids and youth to engage in art and sports and learn a lucrative trade .
Since January 2012, when I began following the students, their stories diverge. Milkah Wanjai, Said Mwinyi, Dorcas Nyambura, Rita Njoki and Magdaline Njeri went to perform in Europe on a 4-month contract and are now working as performers in Nairobi. Winnie and Doris decided to end their training and pursue other educational programs. Edwin Moi Mutesia, by far one of the strongest acrobats, with an electric stage presence, was struck and killed by a minibus in Nairobi in May 2013, a few weeks before he was due to leave to perform in Europe.
This project is part of a longer series exploring the role of sports and art as part of re-education for those who have experienced trauma, via violent conflict or daily grinding poverty.

Uhuru Park, Nairobi, Kenya. 23 February 2013. Nine days before elections. The contested elections of 2007 resulted in widespread ethnic violence that lasted for weeks. More than 1,200 were killed and 600,000 displaced. In the lead up to the 2013 elections, demonstrators, candidates, and civil society leaders all over Kenya called for peace and repentance. On 23 February, tens of thousands of Kenyans traveled to Nairobi and camped out in Uhuru Park for the Kenya Repents Peace Rally. The self-styled prophet David Owuor brought together six of the main candidates, including Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga, to renounce violence in the upcoming elections.

Dandora dump site spans 30 acres of land near Nairobi and at least 800 tons of waste are deposited there each day; today the heap of trash presses up against the road. Children and adults climb among the mountains of trash, scavenging for plastic to recycle, or anything that can be eaten, reused or sold.
Across the street, Christian rock music filters out of Ragos Gym where young Kenyans lift weights and do cardio-training. Opened by Micky Ragos Sanya, the former Mr Kenya Bodybuilding champion in the 1970s and 80s, the gym is a community space: Micky supports youth who scavenge in the dump by inviting them to train for free. Physical fitness in itself is crucial for wellness of the whole mind and body. At Ragos Gym, young Kenyans can train with Micky and other veteran bodybuilders. "I encourage them to come and do sports and stay off drugs," he explained.
The dump site violates numerous protections put in place by the 2010 Constitution, namely the Public Health Act, and it has polluted the air, water and soil in the surrounding communities. Yet many residents depend on scavenging to bring in cash (from ad-hoc recycling centers) or food. Residents in the area have higher concentrations of lead in their blood, and they absorb other toxins such as PCBs and dioxin. "Every five years at election time, the politicians promise to build a recycling plant to make you vote for them, then forget about it," Micky said.
Many of the young Kenyans who train at the gym, like Jack Aswan, find work as bouncers in Nairobi's nightclubs, or agents for big security firms like Securex.
The son of a locomotive driver, Micky grew up in Makongeni, a part of Kibera slum built for rail workers. While still in school, Micky began training in 1963 with bricks and paint cans, when Mr. Jeera, then owner of Universal Gym, invited him to train there and offered to sponsor him. Micky won the Mr Nairobi competition in 1966. He continued to train and compete for the titles of Mr Nairobi and Mr Kenya. He won the Mr Kenya championship for the first time in 1972, at age 25, and was undefeated for 10 years. During this time he worked as a bouncer at Hallian's club in downtown Nairobi, continued training, and eventually tried out for Mr Universe in 1989, coming in 7th place. "These guys were huge. They were on steroids. I knew I wouldn't win Mr Universe without taking drugs, and I never wanted to do that. I'd rather stay as Mr Kenya and have young kids follow my example." He retired from competition in 1993, but he continues to work with youth at Ragos Gym and at other community centers in the neighborhood.
26 July 2014. Thousands of people demonstrated peacefully at Paris's Place de la Republique to show their support for Gaza and denounce Israel's military actions in Gaza. The organizers made great efforts to keep the event calm, but towards the end of the demonstration, groups of youth clashed with security forces, throwing bottles and rocks, breaking a glass bus terminal, and using the glass for projectiles, and setting off fire works. Riot police responded with tear gas and flash bombs. They cleared the area by 19h30.

Geylab Mobile school near Modogache. In the semi-arid zone of Northeastern Kenya, pastoralist nomads are constantly on the move, following the rains, and seeking greener pasture for their animals. Therefore, school enrollment is low across the board, and especially low for girls. One solution is the mobile school, which is transplanted to follow the community.
Pastoralist communities in Northeastern Kenya tend to keep girls out of school, as the girls are required to care for younger siblings, cook, do housework, and tend to livestock. As one village elder said, "School is for lazy people with no animals to keep". Due to the efforts of the Garissa county director of education and UNICEF, who are working to inform pastoralist communities about the value of education--esp for girls--he has since changed his mind.
However, Gabao Abdi (center), enrolled all of her children in school. She says, "All of us must assist the children to go far and learn new skills which can help the community."

The girls' dormitory at Modogashe boarding primary school. 280 boys and 70 girls live in this boarding school in Modogashe town, 158Km from Garissa. The school was opened in 1969 through community fund raising initiatives. The school's main challenges are lack of desks and school supplies, understaffing, and insufficient water supply.
Students at Habajot mobile primary school work on a math lesson with their teacher in Bura, Northeastern Kenya. Students wait to have their pencils sharpened.
At Bura boarding primary school, the contrast in the different learning environment from the mobile school is evident. Students from the mobile schools in Garissa County transfer to low cost boarding schools such as this one, usually after completing grade 3. The Garissa county Council opened Bura boarding school in 1969 via a Harambe (a community fundraising programme). In 1974, the World Bank adopted the school to provide an opportunity for children from the surrounding areas to access quality education. The current school enrollment is 630 children (331 boys and 229 girls).
Girls are often kept out of school to take care of younger siblings, unless they can bring them to class and babysit them during the school day. The challenge for this girl is that she must watch her younger sister while also concentrating on her schoolwork at Habajot mobile primary school in Bura, Northeastern Kenya.

The current school enrollment is 630 children (331 boys and 229 girls).
Despite the introduction of Free Primary Education in Kenya in 2003, enrollment of girls still lags behind that of boys: in Garissa in 2012, only 30% of Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) recipients were girls. Girls from pastoralist communities are often required to tend to livestock and take care of their siblings rather than attend school. Early marriage is also a factor in the low enrollment of girls.

Murata's World's Smallest 008004 Size (0.25 x 0.125 mm) Chip Ferrite Bead CEATEC JAPAN 2013 Business Wire KYOTO, Japan -- September 24, 2013 Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.(TOKYO:6981) (ISIN: JP3914400001)has developed a 008004 size (0201 <JIS> size) (0.25 x 0.125 mm) chip ferrite bead^*, the smallest ever. It features a 75% lower volume than the 01005 size (0402 <JIS> size) (0.4 x 0.2 mm) that is currently installed on some smartphones. Murata's World's Smallest Chip Ferrite Bead (on the far right) (Photo: Business Wire) Murata's World's Smallest Chip Ferrite Bead (on the far right) (Photo: Business Wire) Murata will be exhibiting this innovative chip ferrite beads at their booth in "CEATEC JAPAN 2013", which will be held from October 1. With the ever-increasing number of electronic components used in small, multi-band, high-performance mobile devices such as smartphones, there is a growing need for ultra-small components that support high-density mounting. In 2012, Murata developed the world's smallest 008004 size (0.25 x 0.125 mm) monolithic ceramic capacitor and chip inductor. These components are currently mountable, and development of mass production technology is underway, with the goal of offering samples in fiscal year 2013. Now, thanks to the application of their latest proprietary microfabrication technology, Murata has successfully developed the world's smallest 008004 size chip ferrite bead, which is needed to prevent excess noise in electronic devices. Currently, preparations are underway to begin shipping samples in fiscal year 2014. The 01005 size (0.4 x 0.2 mm), which was the smallest until now, is already widely adopted, especially in high-frequency modules. "Our development of the world's first 008004 size chip ferrite bead, which is the world's smallest version of an electronic component that is required by various electronic devices, enabled the production of new ultra-small products." says Mr. Toru Inoue, Executive Vice President of Murata Manufacturing. "I am confident that this will contribute to progress in miniaturization of the high-performance electronic devices of the future. Our string of successes in small product development is the result of bringing together component technologies developed over years, and in the future, we will continue to pursue miniaturization, as we continue to lead the electronics industry in general services, including quality and supply systems." The target applications assume mobile phones and mobile phone modules (PA, Wi-Fi, cameras, etc.) * Chip ferrite bead: A type of EMI suppression filter that uses dissipation in ferrite to eliminate noise generated by electronic devices. It helps to prevent the electronic equipment from malfunctioning.

Emelia May
train along the river
Last Wednesday I officially finished seeing all of Constitución. I went shopping with my host sister, Francisca, and while I didn't buy much, I was intrigued by some of the things we encountered in the department store: an assortment of probably 20 different electric kettles, at least 6 different wood burning stoves for cooking, and many tiny appliances as opposed to the huge ones you find in Texas. The kettles of course are popular because everyone drinks tea and/or instant coffee. Francisca told me the stoves are often used in cabins for the dual purpose of heating the room and cooking. We also perused some shops that the people here call "ropa Americana," or American clothes. These shops are a little too chaotic for my taste – like the clearance section of Old Navy. It's probably because that's where this stuff comes from! The stuff that doesn't sell in the U.S. comes to Chile to be sold in these shops. I can't help but feel like Chile's getting America's rejects… which they are. At least they provide cheap clothes!
When we came home that evening, I received news that another offer had been made to the teachers… another
low clouds seen from Train ride
bad offer, so I decided to make my way to Talca to try and connect up with my colleagues there. I started by taking the 7:00 am train. Unfortunately it was still quite dark at that hour. Plus, the windows were terribly scratched up and difficult to see through. Once the light came though, it was gorgeous along the river. Both sides were hilly with low clouds set on them. A few colored leaves still cling to some trees, but for the most part, it appears to be winter. Luckily the day was not too cold, and I was able to lower the windows to peer out.
Upon arrival, I went to the Talca house, left my things, and went for a brief stroll through the neighborhood to get some exercise. What do you know, I found some Americans! A pair of young men was walking my direction, and one stopped to say, "Mucho Gusto!" in all his American accent glory. Turns out they're Mormon missionaries. When I told my family and friends about the encounter, they were like, "Oh yeah! There are a whole bunch of Mormons all over Talca!"
At lunch, for
the train
the first time, I was served something I could not eat: chicken livers… or at least, that's what I think it was.
I was supposed to meet up with colleagues Valeria, Justine, and Cody along with some Chileans that evening for dinner at the center, so I walked over early to beat nightfall. I stopped at a bench where a man was selling silver and copper jewelry, and we started a conversation that ended up lasting a bit over half an hour. He seemed a bit of a hippie, but a super nice guy – Manuel. The conversation helped pass the hour, and soon enough, I was off to dinner. At dinner, Valeria (from a Mexican family) claimed that "May! When you showed up, you were talking like a Mexican. Now you're talking like a Chilean!"
Friday, as I had more time to kill, I returned to the center which was abuzz with people shopping for Fathers' Day. I passed a bakery with some desserts that intrigued me. The vast majority here do not appeal to me, so this was a big deal. So, upon returning to the house, I went inside and picked
Cueca show - northern Chile getup
up a slice of raspberry Kuchen to share with the family and a filled donut sort of pastry for myself. The Kuchen (which is actually "cake" in the German language) was ok, but I just can't like it because it looks too much like cheesecake yet tastes nothing like cheesecake - too much of a disappointment. This donut thing however was sublime. The chocolate filling was finally the something rich and full of flavor that I'd been yearning for, and the pastry part was a fresh fried dough – not too sweet. I cannot exaggerate how happy this donut made me.
In the afternoon, I visited Valeria's school to try and offer my services to some other students since my own were unavailable. She teaches middle schoolers. I enjoyed them a lot – very full of energy and braver than my high schoolers. Perhaps their level of English was only slightly higher than my students, but at least they speak it!
The evening was filled with restaurant hopping. Valeria and I enjoyed a "drink" at a café or what we thought would be a drink. She ordered hot chocolate which turned out to be
mardi gras - esque costumes
hot chocolate pudding. I got a most delicious cappuccino. Generally, coffee is instant coffee here, but you can find espresso in cafes, and boy, they do cappuccinos right: espresso with real sweetened whipped cream on top.
We hopped to a pizza joint and finally a Chinese food place – both of which were only decent in my opinion - before heading to a Folklore music concert. At the door, a few people were selling tickets. It seemed kinda sketchy the way they were selling, but it turned out to be legitimate. The show was very enjoyable save the overly loud music. Everything – including brass and bass drum – had a microphone. I wore my "I may look dorky, but I value my hearing" earplugs.
The music, costumes, and dance were primarily from the north of Chile although a few central Chile cuecas were thrown in as well. The Cueca varies from region to region in Chile, so it was interesting to see a different style. There were other dances too besides Cueca. One such reminded me a lot of Mardi Gras. The costumes were flashy and outrageous, and the men danced hunched over
Isla Negra from Pablo Neruda's house
canes which appeared to me a little bit like they were drunk. I was very excited when one song was one that I knew already from singing in the choir!
To finish the day of ridiculous eating, I was served panqueques upon arrival home. These are essentially crepes, and you eat them with manjar, the adored Chilean equivalent to dulce de leche.
Part II
Saturday began the day trip to Isla Negra with Valeria and Justine. We bought $14 tickets for the round trip Talca/Santiago then changed buses in Santiago. The drive out to the coast was gorgeous – impressive hills with low clouds. We had a nice time visiting. While we probably complain about our experiences here too much, we talked about the things we're going to miss – being wanted for one. Back in the states, we're all going to have to find jobs amongst the hordes of people already there trying to find jobs. We're rock stars here, and there, there's always going to be someone better.
We made it easily to Isla Negra and after enjoying a great lunch, we wandered over to Pablo
The three of us at Pablo's house
Neruda's house. The one there has a reputation for being his most lovely and interesting one. I certainly enjoyed the visit. The rain held off for us, and we got to enjoy the marvelous beachfront view: deep blue water crashing on stones like those in Conti, pale sands, and a foreboding sky. Before you reach the beach from the house, there's a lovely green strip of trees and lush greenery. The house itself was intriguing as well - decorated around Mr. Neruda's passion of ships. Collections of colored glass, ship artifacts, ships within glass bottles, and furniture made from masts and ropes fill the house. My favorite part was the fireplace: a huge wall mural/mosaic of stone in a swirling design the swept up to the high ceiling with a wide base for a fire of a surely decent size.
When we finished all that we had come to do, Valeria and Justine had to head back to Talca, but as my school would not be meeting on Monday, I decided to check out Valparaíso – the much talked about city of life and color! As I arrived on a rainy night, I found it to be
his collections in windows
a bit on the contrary – sketchy and dingy, but I soon made myself at home at a cozy hostel there. I joined a few people seated around the fireplace and met a young American woman from Georgia named Susan. She also happened to be a single traveler visiting "Valpo" for the weekend. After a long entertaining conversation, we decided to do our touring together the next day.
This turned out to be a good thing in so many different ways. There was practically no one walking around the city when we went out which I found to be strange, but there was plenty of rain throughout the day, and we were able to commiserate through that. We spent our morning in Viña del Mar, the beautiful city that fuses with Valpo to the north. There is a small museum there with Chilean history, Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and Natural Science exhibits including a real Moai out front. That's one of the stone carvings from Easter Island itself! The museum was fair. While both of us are motivated Spanish students, standing around in silence reading textbook style Spanish – half of which you don't understand – can
rainy cloudy Valpo
make anybody grow weary. Occasionally there were some English translations which we would glance over. A few of them were quite entertaining as the translation was so bad. I don't know how that happened. Apparently, one of the translators working on the project was not as good as the rest…
When we finished there, we busted out my poncho, covered ourselves, and headed for Cerro Concepción – one of the nicer, touristier hills in Valpo. Each hill is like a neighborhood and has its own character. We chose a cute colorful pizza joint, but it was 12:50, and they start serving lunch at 1:00, so in those 10 minutes, we poked our heads in an organ recital that was going on in the church across the street. We listened to one whole piece, and I was impressed. I was later informed by a comrade at the hostel that that piece was probably the best one. Score!
After lunch we perused a couple stores. One of my intentions of going alone to Valpo was to shop, but as I said, everything seemed pretty empty. A couple shops were closed up, but the owners opened them
my travel buddy at cafe
with a knock on the door. When I opened my wallet to pay at one shop, I realized I had left my credit card at the restaurant. I still had my ATM card though, and as we passed an ATM I thought it best to get some cash in case my credit card was lost. At the restaurant, the man at the bar saw me coming and had my card at the ready. Super lucky. The rain continued to bring grey to the brightly painted neighborhoods, so we settled at a different café for coffee and dessert. It was a very nice spot with a good view of the city, and several cats both inside and out. One was a little overly friendly with Susan, jumping up onto her lap while she was seated at the table.
Susan departed soon after that for Santiago, and I began to make my way back to the hostel so as not to be out after dark. That evening, I discovered that I was going to need some more luck. In my haste to return to the restaurant, I had left my ATM card in the ATM. I know. The second
time. I had to let it be though because I was not about to brave the darkness alone. This was thankfully not too hard thanks to some excellent company. I first had a nice visit with a German girl over dinner. We were both fixing in the hostel kitchen at the same time. Then, I sat a chatted with a family from Idaho: a Grandmother, Mom, and Daughter. I'm sure we were quite a sight – all four of us being blonde.
I was to become extraordinarily lucky the next day. First thing, I returned to the minimart where the ATM had been. I told the woman at the counter that I had left my card, and I wondered if there was a number I should call. She told me to wait one moment. "Is the number printed on the machine?" I asked her, trying to take care of business immediately. "I might have it" she said. Then, she pulled a small stack of ATM cards out and fanned them out. "Is yours here?" "Si! Gracias a Dios!"
At 10:00am started one of those free walking tours of the city, and as the weather
Sunny Valpo!
was supposed to improve that day, I decided to check it out. The guide was a Chilean young man who had studied English in college. He was accompanied by an American guide because it was his first time giving a tour. Those taking the tour included 3 girls - all solo, all in their early twenties I would say: an Australian, a German, and myself. Apparently, there are more solo female travelers than I thought!
The tour turned out to be an excellent choice for the day. I got to see the port for the first time with all its huge ships and cargo – very impressive. I learned that Valparaíso was a hugely important port city before the construction of the Panama Canal. Those ships that crossed from the Atlantic to Pacific Oceans at the Magellan Straight made a stop at Valparaíso before heading up to California for gold.
The clouds dissipated over the course of the tour and shed a whole new light on the city. The colors of the street art were more vibrant and the views out over the city 5 times more colorful. The tour took us through the
more murals
winding streets, up the intense hills (this city's a lot like San Francisco in that respect), and through narrow alleys by a lot of interesting street art. We learned that mural painters are well respected here by graffiti taggers and thus tend to be free of pesky tags. As a result, many people will hire artists to paint their exteriors so as to avoid graffiti tags.
At the end of the tour, I decided it best to head back towards Conti since it takes about 8 hours to make the trip. The trip seemed very long solo, but the view of the Andes as we came into Santiago was incredible. They are all heavily dusted with snow now, and set against the clouds with the sun shining… they are some of the most incredible mountains I've seen.
Tuesday everyone returned to classes, and thus ended the huelga. I'll be back in Valpo again though soon enough!

Aiding the Outcasts 20
"Completed Aiding the Outcasts"
To start this quest walk around for a little bit once loading up the game a good place to go would be The Citadel that's where my signal came up in about 30 seconds so I recommend fast traveling there. Once you get the signal fast travel to "red racer factory" and head south there will be a door off to your left if your walking south that is hidden in a corner called "Door to Baileys Crossroads Metro" that's when you know your going to right way. Once in the tunnels walk around following your marker and once out of the tunnels you will get to escalators. Walk up them to be greeted and proceed to fight clearing the building up ahead. Once through you will get to the Outcast Outpost and you will need to go down the elevator. Once inside you will speak to many people which will lead you into to a simulation. Once in it you will unlock the achievement.
Map on where to start quest: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e77/Folvex/aiding.png
The Guns of Anchorage 20
"Completed The Guns of Anchorage"
This mission is started the second you enter the simulation. Once started you will be guided through paths in the cliffs which will lead to a building where you will go through it for a while. This whole path is straight forward and hard to drift away from. If your worried about ammo and falling off the ledge and health don't be because falling off just warps you up and there are infinite ammo and health packs everywhere. But once through the building you will come to an outside cliff area with three giant guns. You must place explosives on them and walk away and continue on doing to the same for the others. Once done you will be warped to another area where the achievement will unlock.
Paving the Way 20
"Completed Paving the Way"
Get debriefed on the mission and then talk to morgan. He will give you stuff you need for your squad. Now go to the terminals and choose what you want your squad to be. You need to use both terminals before you can leave. Once out head to your right to pick up your guns and ammo. Now head to the North west towards to the goal that says destroy two fuel tanks. Once there plant explosives on 2 of the tanks to finish that part of the quest. After you will be warped back to the mission briefing room. Choose another command set at the terminals and get ready to go. [personally I chose the Fire equipment because it was easier] Once that's done head to the Listening post and be careful there are a ton of guys and a lot of them have rockets so watch out. Once you make your way through the train track and through a broken building you will come to stairs. Climb those stairs and entering the building once inside follow the path all the way through and at the top killing everyone you see. Once at the top you will clear this part of the quest and be taken back to the mission briefing room where the achievement will unlock.
Operation: Anchorage 40
"Completed Operation: Anchorage"
Once you are able to move leave the debriefing room and head towards your marker you will enter some trench's. This path is straight forward with its bends of course but you get the drift. You will follow this around till you get to a giant open area with pulse mines everywhere. You must hit the switch found in the building towards your marker. Once hit head towards the factory and the door will be blown open and your able to walk in. Talk to the general and if you have good speech you can convince him to kill himself and if not then you will have to fight him. Once done you will talk to someone and the simulation will end. Once out head straight towards the locked door. Use the terminal next to it to open and once you walk in the last achievement is yours.

NOTE: To activate The Pitt DLC, just load up a previous save and wait about one minute or so.
Welcome to The Pitt! The second of three downloadable content episodes for Fallout 3.
The story behind the events that took place in The Pitt is rather straight forward. It is recommended that you utilize multiple saves in the event you would like to try different conversation choices. Also there are two different endings to The Pitt, as well as a slew of new weapons and perks to enjoy.
As with the normal storyline of Fallout 3, if at any time the enemy A.I. proves to be difficult, simply adjust the difficulty slider in the options.
Into the Pitt - Completed "Into The Pitt" - 20
Follow the marker on the map and you will meet up with Werhner and talk about travelling to The Pitt. Follow the map marker and get the slave outfit. After meeting back up with Werhner, follow the map marker to the tunnel entrance and active the hand cart to travel to The Pitt. Follow the path with Werhner. After he opens the gate, continue across the bridge. Follow the road after the bridge and to the right. The gate at the end of the road will be opened for you. After the conversation, enter the door on the left.
Unsafe Working Conditions -Completed "Unsafe Working Conditions" - 20
After you complete the first quest, this becomes active. You must make contact with Midea then travel to the Steelyard for your first taste of Ingot collecting. After collecting, you drop 10 Ingots to the guard, then head back to Midea. You will then listen to a speech by Asher, then you go to sign up for the Arena. After a series of 3 battles in the Arena, this achievement will unlock.
Free Labor - Completed "Free Labor" - 40
The final quest. After the Arena, you must travel to Haven. Here you will speak with Ashur. Now, after this conversation you speak with his wife Sandra (follow map marker.) You now have a big choice to make, and your choice will decide which route you travel to finish the quest. Given that this is a major spoiler, check my walkthrough for the choices you have. Either way, once you finish the quest, you will unlock the achievement.
Mill Worker - Found All 100 Steel Ingots - 20
This is quite a time consuming achievement, but quickly obtained with the help of the guide in the link below.
Click here for a full guide of Ingot locations.

Death From Above 30
To even get here you need to actually finish the game, it doesn't matter which way you choose to end the game either way you wake up 2 weeks after the events. Once you are awake go and speak to Rothchild who can be located on the bottom floor of the laboratory. After speaking with him you will need to meet Paladin Tristian at the bottom left of the world map. Once going into the tunnel and speaking with Tristian you will be asked to assist them in a fight. Now prepare for awesomeness as you watch the chaos. Once you have watched the really sad moment (you'll know it when you see it) go into the hole in the building. Now be prepared there are loads of enemies here. Just keep making your way through the building till you reach a computer and download the data from it. After downloading the data follow the steps through the door to the left and exit the building. Now fast travel back to the Citadel and speak to Rothchild once again. After speaking to him report to Elder Lyons in Ring A. He will usually be sitting at a table. Once you've spoken to him its mission completed.
Shock Value 30
For this mission to start you need to go speak to Tristian once again. He will ask you to go to Old Olney & also give you an optional quest. For the optional quest you must go speak with Vallincount at the bottom of the laboratory where she will give you a deathclaw scrambler. You can use this to control certain deathclaws. Now on your map you will get 2 locations marked. Don't worry about the one that isn't Old Olney as you can't do much with it. With that out of the way stock up and fast travel to Old Olney or if you haven't been there check the map below. You will fight lots of deathclaws here. What your looking for here is a sewer drain. Once inside avoid the deathclaws if possible and look for a ladder to the underground. Once here make your way following the path until you have entered a building. When you get there kill the Enclave and make your way to the top and through a door to the Powerworks. Once in you can hack the door to the right to make it quicker or travel around to get to the other entrance. You will come to a room with a lot of electricity with a hole you can jump in with a door in it. Jump down through there and go into the door and access the computer. Deactivate the electricity and grab the Tesla Coil. No go back into that room with the Computer and go through the door which will take you to a ladder and exit. Now fast travel back to the Citadel & go into the A ring and speak with Tristian to complete your quest.
Old Olney- http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Old_Olney
Who Dares Wins 30
This one starts right after. Leave and fast travel to tepid sewers and continue traveling till you get to metro central. Once out, travel west till you get to the white house plaza and enter the sewer here. Alternately you can just fast travel to Metro Central. Once in the tunnel go to the left and follow the tunnels all the way through. There are lots of robots and ghouls so be careful. When you get to a train there will be a robot and a power supply box. There's different ways to do this part but I would say to kill the robot and get the power cell and enter it into the fuse box.
Once that's done get on the train and when you get off at the next stop go up the stairs through the door. Welcome to the base. Collect your orders to the left in a crate and get the new Tesla Gun (its awesome) Make your way through the base, there are lots of enclave, turrets, & robots. While going through collect stimpacks and ammo and keep on the look out for artillery strike buttons. Once through get to the top of the Air Traffic Tower (it's the tallest building there, you def. notice it) & open up the mobile platform. Get back outside and then enter the mobile platform. If you have the deathclaw control you can get some sidekicks in here. If not oh well no big deal. There are once again lots of enemies, but more than anytime before. Make your way to the top of the base until you reach a control room with many terminals. Access the main one and your given a choice. Choose good or bad. I would say the obvious good choice because well the bad one doesn't turn out so well in the end lol. Once you have chosen your pick exit to the left and enjoy the show. Broken Steel Complete.
Devil 20 / True Mortal 20 / Messiah 20
"All for reaching level 30 with a certain karma."
These 3 achievements are obtained by reaching level 30 with a certain karma level needed. Getting to level 30 can be annoying but there are way to make it go faster like using the scrap metal glitch or little lamplight speech glitch which takes forever, or you can just kill a ton mutants sell there blood samples and cash in for XP and Bottle Caps. For me to make it faster I fast traveled in this order to make it go by quicker.
To reach the level with karma values, Save when you're almost finished with 28, get to level 29, Choose "here and now" perk to instant ding, When at 30, choose one of the 3 karma adjuster perks. Devil's Highway, Escalator to Heaven, or Karmic Rebalance. When the level up completes, your karma is adjusted before it finishes, and gives you the achievement. Reload save, ding again, and choose the next karma perk in the list.
With the advent of Point Lookout, you can pay 1000 caps (then 500 for each repeat) to play a ghoul rush "safari" with Plik. You can get several hundred EXP per run with this, especially if you go to kenny's hideout, and rest, because you can get the well rested perk since this counts as a "house" for you. Just wait 24 hours, Plik will have rounded up some more fodder, and you can go again indefinitely.

Point Lookout
Guide Written by: "mmartynn"
--Estimated achievement difficulty: 3
--Offline: 4
--Online: 0
--Approximate time: 5 to 6 hours
--Minimum number of playthroughs needed: 1
--Number of missable achievements: none
--Glitched achievements: none
--Cheats: There are no cheats for Fallout 3 on Xbox 360
--PC Cheats: Yes
20 The Local Flavor- Completed "The Local Flavor"
Complete the mission "The Local Flavor" in Point Lookout; it's the first mission you receive. The mission will start right when you arrive at the boat to get to Point Lookout. When you arrive at Point Lookout, you head Southeast to the Calvert Mansion (will be marked on your map) and help the ghoul Desmond defend the mansion against Tribals by exploring the west and east wings of the mansion, respectfully, and sealing off infiltration points. After that, the Tribals will come in numbers through the front door. Kill them and talk to Desmond about the Tribals and he'll ask you to infiltrate the Tribals and find out their aim in attacking the mansion.
20 Walking With Spirits- Completed "Walking With Spirits"
Complete the mission "Walking With Spirits". Mission can only be done after "The Local Flavor" mission, and will be received upon completing said mission. When you arrive at the base of the Tribals (the Cathedral), they will ask you to go into the Sacred Bog (far west) and get seeds from the big Punga fruit in the Grotto. This is your Rite of Passage to gain entrance to the Tribals. Upon arriving in the bog, you will have to follow the river and rocks towards the giant Punga fruit, all whilst fighting various Mirelurks. After activating the Punga, travel back through the bog, amongst a bunch of weird goings-on. You reach the end when you meet a man standing by the bomb that's in the middle of Megaton. You then regain consciousness and have to trek your way back to the Cathedral.
20 A Meeting of the Minds- Completed "A Meeting of the Minds"
Complete the last mission in the Point Lookout main story arc, "A Meeting of the Minds". Note that several missions take place between this and the "Walking With Spirits" mission. In this mission, you arrive back at the Calvert Mansion to see it go up in flames. You report back to Desmond in his built-in bomb shelter, and he asks you to follow him to the Lighthouse, where Professor Calvert's brain is taking refuge. Follow him the Lighthouse, but be sure to stick close as he doesn't move unless you're near. The Lighthouse laboratory is guarded mostly by Turrets and other various robots. Fight through the lab, into the room where Calvert's brain is. You can either listen to his babble and go through with killing Desmond for him, or you can silence him yourself; your choice.
Noted frustration: After battles, Desmond will not move unless you first progress a little. Don't wait around for him after battles.
40 Bog Walker - Discovered all locations within Point Lookout
Here is a quick map for the general idea of where all the locations are located at.
There are 29 locations to discover. Arguably, the quickest and easiest way to do this is to travel to the Point Lookout Pier and, following the list from below, head west in a circle around the map. The locations are all roughly near each other and shouldn't take too long to find.
The list of places are as followed:
01. Point Lookout Pier
02. Pilgrim's Landing
03. House of Wares
04. The Homestead Motel
05. Ofie Clan Plot
06. Disaster Relief Outpost
07. Dove Delta
08. Blackhall Manor
09. Grower's Shack
10. Sacred Bog Entrance
11. Lil' Tyke Playhouse
12. Flooded Sinkhole
13. Trapper's Shack
14. Jet Crash Site
15. Trash Heap
16. Marguerite's Shack
17. Turtledove Detention Camp
18. Truck Wreckage
19. The Ark & Dove Cathedral
20. Ark & Dove Resting Grounds
21. Wrecked Seatub
22. Coastal Grotto
23. Herzog Mine
24. U.S.S. Ozymandias
25. Haley's Hardware
26. Ritual Site
27. Beachview Campsite
28. Calvert Mansion
29. Point Lookout Lighthouse
Note: There is a 30th location called Sub Recovery Site, which you find during the quest "The Velvet Curtain", but you don't need this for the achievement

Great guide. Too easy for me the DLC but still enjoyable.
There is atleast one speech challenge and I think possibly 2 or 3 in the DLC levels.
Oblivion - 1000/1250
Fallout 3 - 1170/1200
Fable 2 - 880/1100
Worms - 175/200
All In Progress...!

I Loved this DLC!! It could of been alot longer/challenging though.
I am so conflicted about this DLC. I loved every minute of it but I felt that it was too short. On the other hand, they could have put in some filler that made it longer, but not necessarily adding to the story. My only gripe is the price, but I think I would pay it if I were to go back in time because it is waaayyyy too much fun.
Where else can you:

When they add DLC Achievements you basically have to delete your list and then re-enable it. They say it's a bug. Or maybe it's something else.

It hasn't been mentioned yet, but the DLC can be used as a leveling boost at the very start of the game. Once you exit your vault and approach Megaton, you get the distress call from the Outcasts. Just met some raiders on the way to the waypoint, once I was in the simulation, everything was super-easy. I finished the DLC halfway towards level 8, with an imba melee weapon, lots of big and small guns and a very - VERY - good defensive gear.
And with a strong resolution to finish Fallout 3 this time. DLC did this for me, amazingly.
Are you going to be doing the guides for the next two DLCs? Broken Steel and something else i don't remember. Your guides are very good Younikorn
This may not be the place, but I didn't want to get blasted for creating another thread...
Did the next two DLC's get pushed back? Originally it was slated for Feb 09 (The Pitt) and March 09 (Broken Steel). I have read on the Fallout wiki site and a couple other places that The Pitt is coming in March and Broken Steel not until April...
I hope that is not true because I do not know if I can wait until April to have the level cap lifted lol. Seriously though, if anyone has CONCRETE info post it

Thanks again Y0UNIK0RN, you're clearly the FO3 guide master here
Worth mentioning that you can start anywhere and within 30 seconds the 'pop up' message about picking up a weak signal appears. I tried with 3 separate, very far apart, game saves (3 hrs in, 30hrs in and a 62hrs one). Regardless of where I was, what I was doing (mid-fight) the message pops up.
Makes no real shakes, just thought I'd put it out there.

Nice guide, just in the middle of doing it again. I missed out on an intel last time and wanted to do it again to get them all. An extremely easy 100G could really be done in 90minutes if you just ran through it. I'm going to do it this time killing every person I can find in it and then see how much it would add to the 300 if you haven't got that achievement yet. I'd estimate it to be around 70, even if they aren't real people ha!

Zhone Technologies, Inc : Zhone Technologies Introduces Single-Pane-of-Glass Management for Multiservice, Multifunction Access Solutions Contacts Aurora Arlet Zhone Investor Relations Edelman for Zhone Public Relations Tel: +1 510.777.7013 Tel: +1 404.460.8578 Fax: +1 510.777.7001 E: firstname.lastname@example.com E: firstname.lastname@example.com Zhone Technologies Introduces Single-Pane-of-Glass Management for Multiservice, Multifunction Access Solutions Zhone's Unified Provisioning solution delivers unique cloud based network management for service providers Oakland, CA - June 25, 2013 - Zhone Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZHNE), a global leader in FTTx network access solutions, today introduced Zhone Unified Provisioning solution providing service providers with a holistic and simplified approach to Multiservice and Multifunction Access Management. Integration of the cloud-based provisioning solution provides a single point from which to manage and configure the entire network, reduces network and management complexity and also reduces OPEX and CAPEX. While provisioning is necessary to manage a network, standard TR-069 provisioning generally functions by requiring the additional use of an ACS Server. The TR-069 approach to provisioning requires an upfront investment in TR-069 ACS systems, several fixed costs to develop the provisioning interfaces and recurring annual fees based on the number of managed devices. Zhone Unified Provisioning simplifies this process by removing the required integration of TR-069 and the ACS server, making installation simpler and providing unique benefits previously unavailable through other provisioning models available on the market today. Zhone Unified Provisioning provides users with a number of benefits unique to its services including: *Massive scalability: The approach is highly distributed, with every GPON line card in the network responsible for provisioning only the zNIDs that are directly connected to it. *Lower fixed costs and no variable costs: Zhone Unified Provisioning's approach is a software feature provided at no charge, requiring no additional services or processing hardware. *A fully integrated approach: The approach combines all Residential Gateways + zNID actions into a single Operational Support System (OSS) Gateway interface, with no need for coordination of provisioning actions between two entirely different provisioning platforms. *Less effort to develop the required flow-through provisioning and automation: The solution uses the same OSS Gateway Interface that automation teams are already familiar with. *A faster service turn-up: After the software has been installed, it will fully configure a Factory Defaulted zNID for all required services within two minutes of the GPON link ranging. *A significant reduction in zNID management traffic within the network: The solution enables all management and configuration of zNIDS to be local to the GPON link between the zNID and the OLT line card. "Zhone Unified Provisioning takes a fully integrated approach, making use of a single OSS Gateway, simplifying the process by eliminating the need for TR-069 provisioning with ACS Servers," said Brian Caskey, chief marketing officer at Zhone Technologies. "The solution removes expensive servers and protocols associated with the training, management and maintenance of ACS Servers required by other provisioning solutions and provides a number of benefits unique to Zhone Unified Provisioning." Zhone continues to provide innovative broadband access solutions, delivering voice, video and data services over copper and fiber.
