Do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

HealthMap brings together disparate data sources to achieve a unified and comprehensive view of the current global state of infectious diseases and their effect on human and animal health. This freely available Web site integrates outbreak data of varying reliability, ranging from news sources (such as Google News) to curated personal accounts (such as ProMED) to validated official alerts (such as World Health Organization).
The site is sponsored by the Children’s Hospital Informatics Program and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences & Technology. Even it has not all the existind diseases, it shows a very good representation for many of them. The data is collected automatically from many sources and displayed in the Google Map Api. It’s a very nice job and hope this helps many organizations.

Today, July 9th, Argentina celebrates it’s independence day. The curious thing is that, for first time, Google Argentina changes their local logo for this important day. I’m very proud of this recognition.
In other hand, while I’m writing this short article and working with my computer, I’m sitting at the window watching a curious thing that didn’t happen for at least 30 years: It’s snowing in Buenos Aires! (and it’s really very cold).
