Excerpt: Betty Williams (born 22 May 1943) is a co-recipient with Mairead Corrigan of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976 for her work as a cofounder of Community of Peace People, an organisation dedicated to promoting a peaceful resolution to The Troubles in Northern Ireland. She heads the Global Children's Foundation and is President of the World Centre of Compassion for Children International.

Betty Williams was drawn into the public arena after witnessing the death of three children on 10 August 1976 when they were hit by a car whose driver, an IRA fugitive named Danny Lennon, was fatally shot by British authorities.

From the supplier: The expansion and diversification of services in the health care industry will create a demand for nurses with varying levels of skill. Nurses with postgraduate training will have better opportunities for jobs such as community and home nursing, apart from the usual demand in hospitals. Meanwhile, hospitals are likely to hire nurses with technical skills for acute nursing care, and ambulatory health care. Nurses who pursue doctoral studies may also enter into academic and research careers.

From the supplier: Diversity is an issue which the news media should not ignore. Failure to report adequately on race relations and campaign for the increased employment of blacks in the newsroom is tantamount to being unresponsive to present and future challenges. Although, considerable attention has been focused on the hiring and training of minority journalists, effort to afford them professional advancement is still lacking. Maintaining a small number of minority employees in the media has been the norm for many years. Such trend must not be allowed to persist.
