About Us « PlayPumps International

Timage he mission of PlayPumps International – U.S. (PPI) is to help improve the lives of children and their families by providing easy access to clean drinking water, enhancing public health, and offering play equipment to millions across Africa.PPI was created to fund new innovations for improving access to safe water in rural communities in Africa. Since its creation, the powerful appeal of the “play and pump” idea, together with compelling images of children at play on our equipment, has contributed greatly to increased awareness of the water crisis. There are now many new organizations working to solve that crisis, and many new technologies that have been introduced to bring clean water to communities.

10x10 / 100 Words and pictures

 Process.Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour's most important words. The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input.
