With so many upcoming events, like the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, we’re excited to share the riches of Brazil’s cities not only with tourists from around the world, but also with locals who might want to visit a city, neighborhood or landmark they’ve not yet experienced. <br /> <br /> <center> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjwj7-ZwMUvWQQh4VnWaXAs5UnbYbZ8E1Uq-4tWI16utTMfFuiZp3J4_fmCvtlx-gPuLedk-ipbgIv3036z3YkL4QAS4btl4J91BfsBmj4iUgrQgsPRGriKyqtj2trTAo180lkA/s1600/Brasil_StreetView_before.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjwj7-ZwMUvWQQh4VnWaXAs5UnbYbZ8E1Uq-4tWI16utTMfFuiZp3J4_fmCvtlx-gPuLedk-ipbgIv3036z3YkL4QAS4btl4J91BfsBmj4iUgrQgsPRGriKyqtj2trTAo180lkA/s400/Brasil_StreetView_before.png" width="400" /></a></div> <i>Street View imagery of Brazil available before mid-August 2012<br /> </i><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCtp_yqcsfWhGxb2deIVxizicHiaXDbgIsZC98irOH93yeBe4scAHoNQ16Pjp7LssWg-ACgPBBm5UNXTvVLFAKLhYxs9kO0NnfAMo1-_lt7VJ2g8ZOq9q-rKMblLXp1Q41HLutNQ/s1600/Brazil_StreetView_after.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCtp_yqcsfWhGxb2deIVxizicHiaXDbgIsZC98irOH93yeBe4scAHoNQ16Pjp7LssWg-ACgPBBm5UNXTvVLFAKLhYxs9kO0NnfAMo1-_lt7VJ2g8ZOq9q-rKMblLXp1Q41HLutNQ/s400/Brazil_StreetView_after.png" width="400" /></a></div> <i>Street View imagery of Brazil available beginning mid-August 2012<br /> </i></center> <br /> We’ve also introduced Street View imagery of 30 Mesoamerican archaeological sites in Mexico.

The mission of the G(irls)20 Summit is to showcase how girls and women can impact a country’s economic prosperity, political stability and social innovation. - Ed.</i><br /> <i><br /> </i><br /> Research shows that investing in girls and women can help the global economy. Consider the following examples:<br /> <ul type="”circle”"> <li>According to <a href="http://www.plan-uk.org/">Plan UK</a>, an extra year of education increases a girl’s income by 10 to 20% and is a significant step on the road to breaking the cycle of poverty.</li> <li>In Kenya, adolescent pregnancies cost the economy $500 million per year, while investing in girls could potentially add $32 billion to the economy (<a href="http://www.girleffect.org/">NIKE Foundation, 2009, Girl Effect</a>).</li> <li>If men and women had equal influence in decision-making , an additional 1.7 million children would be adequately nourished in sub-Saharan Africa (<a href="http://www.ilo.org/gender/Events/Campaign2008-2009/lang--en/index.htm">International Labour Organization, 2009</a>).</li> </ul> These are significant estimates, and they highlight a real opportunity for global economic growth. That’s why the G(irls)20 Summit is working with Google and many other corporate and foundation partners to empower girls and women.<br /> <br /> Launched in 2010 at the <a href="http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/">Clinton Global Initiative</a>, the G(irls)20 Summit precedes the G20 Leaders Summit, and brings together one girl aged 18 to 20 from each G20 country plus the African Union. The delegates attend workshops and participate in panel discussions to come up with tangible, scalable solutions for how to engage and empower girls and women around the world. Then, at the end of the summit, they lead a press conference and present a set of recommendations for the G20 leaders to consider. <br /> <br /> This year, the Summit will take place in Mexico City from May 28-31. But the impact of the Summit will be ongoing, thanks in part to the power of the Internet and social media.

The mission of the G(irls)20 Summit is to showcase how girls and women can impact a country’s economic prosperity, political stability and social innovation. - Ed.</i><br /> <i><br /> </i><br /> Research shows that investing in girls and women can help the global economy. Consider the following examples:<br /> <ul type="”circle”"> <li>According to <a href="http://www.plan-uk.org/">Plan UK</a>, an extra year of education increases a girl’s income by 10 to 20% and is a significant step on the road to breaking the cycle of poverty.</li> <li>In Kenya, adolescent pregnancies cost the economy $500 million per year, while investing in girls could potentially add $32 billion to the economy (<a href="http://www.girleffect.org/">NIKE Foundation, 2009, Girl Effect</a>).</li> <li>If men and women had equal influence in decision-making , an additional 1.7 million children would be adequately nourished in sub-Saharan Africa (<a href="http://www.ilo.org/gender/Events/Campaign2008-2009/lang--en/index.htm">International Labour Organization, 2009</a>).</li> </ul> These are significant estimates, and they highlight a real opportunity for global economic growth. That’s why the G(irls)20 Summit is working with Google and many other corporate and foundation partners to empower girls and women.<br /> <br /> Launched in 2010 at the <a href="http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/">Clinton Global Initiative</a>, the G(irls)20 Summit precedes the G20 Leaders Summit, and brings together one girl aged 18 to 20 from each G20 country plus the African Union. The delegates attend workshops and participate in panel discussions to come up with tangible, scalable solutions for how to engage and empower girls and women around the world. Then, at the end of the summit, they lead a press conference and present a set of recommendations for the G20 leaders to consider. <br /> <br /> This year, the Summit will take place in Mexico City from May 28-31. But the impact of the Summit will be ongoing, thanks in part to the power of the Internet and social media.

Google Flu Trends may be able to detect influenza outbreaks earlier than other systems because it estimates flu activity in near real time.<br /><br />In response to recent inquiries from public health officials, we've been attempting to use Google search activity in Mexico to help track human swine flu levels. <a href="http://www.google.org/flutrends/intl/en_mx/index.html"> Experimental Flu Trends for Mexico</a> is, as you might have guessed, very experimental. But the system has detected increases in flu-related searches in Mexico City (Distrito Federal) and a few other Mexican states in recent days, beginning early in the week of April 19-25.<br /><br />In the United States, we were able to validate our estimates using data from a surveillance system managed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We have not verified our data for Mexico in the same manner, but we've seen that Google users in Mexico (and around the world) also search for many flu-related topics when they have flu-like symptoms. Given the tremendous recent attention to swine flu, our model tries to filter out search queries that are more likely associated with topical searches rather than searches by those who may be experiencing symptoms.<br /><br />While we would prefer to validate this data and improve its accuracy, we decided to release an early version today so that it might help public health officials and concerned individuals get an up-to-date picture of the ongoing swine flu outbreak. As with our existing Flu Trends system, estimates are provided across many of Mexico's states and updated every day. Our current estimates of flu activity in the U.S. are still generally low as would be expected given the relatively low confirmed swine flu case count. However, we'll be keeping an eye on the data to look for any spike in activity.<br /><br />We're keenly aware of the trust our users place in us and our responsibility to protect their privacy. Experimental Flu Trends for Mexico -- like Google Flu Trends -- cannot be used to identify individual users. The patterns we observe are only meaningful across large populations of Google searchers.

The more you know about how people engage with your site, the better you are able to design successful advertising campaigns to help grow your business.<br /><br />In Latin America, online advertising is growing as more and more small businesses initiate an online presence and publicize their efforts through search and display advertising. But less than 5% of web properties throughout Latin America rely on analysis tools to improve their website's performance. Last week, our offices throughout the region hosted several Analytics-themed events to give agencies and other clients a better look at several Google measurement tools that provide people with the means to analyze their site's flow of data, interest and readership in order to build a better advertising campaign.<br /><br />In Mexico City, advertisers got together to learn about <a href="//www.google.com/insights/search/#">Insights for Search</a>, <a href="http://adwords.blogspot.com/2008/06/introducing-google-ad-planner.html">Ad Planner</a>, <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/insight-into-youtube-videos.html">YouTube Insights</a>, <a href="//www.google.com/analytics/">Analytics</a>, <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/01/sitemaps-faqs.html">Sitemaps</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/siteopt/splash">Website Optimizer</a>, as well as <a href="http://www.doubleclick.com/">DoubleClick</a> tools. Presentations were designed to give companies an in-depth look at the Google tools that can be helpful for planning their marketing budgets during an economic downturn. Being able to measure data on what content interests people and where consumers are searching for information can help advertisers be more selective about how they invest ad budget.

The more you know about how people engage with your site, the better you are able to design successful advertising campaigns to help grow your business.<br /><br />In Latin America, online advertising is growing as more and more small businesses initiate an online presence and publicize their efforts through search and display advertising. But less than 5% of web properties throughout Latin America rely on analysis tools to improve their website's performance. Last week, our offices throughout the region hosted several Analytics-themed events to give agencies and other clients a better look at several Google measurement tools that provide people with the means to analyze their site's flow of data, interest and readership in order to build a better advertising campaign.<br /><br />In Mexico City, advertisers got together to learn about <a href="//www.google.com/insights/search/#">Insights for Search</a>, <a href="http://adwords.blogspot.com/2008/06/introducing-google-ad-planner.html">Ad Planner</a>, <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/03/insight-into-youtube-videos.html">YouTube Insights</a>, <a href="//www.google.com/analytics/">Analytics</a>, <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/01/sitemaps-faqs.html">Sitemaps</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/analytics/siteopt/splash">Website Optimizer</a>, as well as <a href="http://www.doubleclick.com/">DoubleClick</a> tools. Presentations were designed to give companies an in-depth look at the Google tools that can be helpful for planning their marketing budgets during an economic downturn. Being able to measure data on what content interests people and where consumers are searching for information can help advertisers be more selective about how they invest ad budget.

Since a digital Earth needs some digital buildings, we're thrilled that ITESM students have submitted their designs to create a more livable Google Earth-the winning models will be included in the 3D Buildings Layers of Google Earth. The school leadership plan on encouraging students to construct detailed 3D models of all 33 ITESM campuses, and the contest will return for another run next year.
