GUIDESTAR UK UPDATE

For the latest news about GuideStar's plans to launch a UK-version of our beloved U.S. foundation report database, read Philanthropy Journal. GuideStar UK, in cooperation with the British Treasury, will become a reality in the first quarter of 2004. Data from 180,000 UK charities will be the still-URL-less Web site's staple.

WORLD POLITICAL LEADERS 1945-2003

Bring your handy translator with you to this site. Free Translation will work -- it's at www.freetranslation.com. It gives you the option to translate entire Web pages.

You'll need it because this collection of biographies of politicians and world leaders is in Spanish. Use the site's search engine, buscador in Spanish, to look for world leaders by country or by name. While there may be only biographies of the most recent leaders, the site often includes bios for the leaders of all the political parties and various government office heads, not just the one holding the top office. Choose All Current Leaders by Country to find out who is in charge where. The bios returned are interesting and relatively thorough. Ireland's Gerry Adam's bio includes a few important details about his rise to power.

This database is so current that the 2003 events in Iraq are in place. This Web site is brought to you by Terra Lycos, "the leading portal in Spain and Latin America."

YELLOW PAGES SUPERHIGHWAY

A mega-collection of yellow pages is a useful thing to tuck inside your bookmarks, isn't it? Here you'll find yellow pages for Fiji, Romania, the Caribbean, Yemen, Jamal, Denmark . . . well, with 300 in the collection, we could go on and on, couldn't we? A few of the sites listed offer more than yellow pages, so a quick tour to determine what will be useful to you in the future is worth the time you spend.
