BANGKOK (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Thailand's capital will usher in its first democratically elected governor in nine years, with the top job slated to go to former transport minister Chadchart Sittipunt, according to preliminary vote tallies on Sunday night (May 22). True to opinion polls, the independent candidate led the race with a sizeable lead, garnering about 1.3 million of the nearly 2.5 million votes counted as at 10.30pm Bangkok time, according to unofficial counts. "If I have a chance to be Bangkok governor, once the Election Commission officially acknowledges it, I'm ready to be governor for everyone," Chadchart, 55, told the media. He served as transport minister from 2012 to 2014 during the Pheu Thai-led administration.

By DEEPA BHARATH, HOLLY MEYER and DAVID CRARY , Associated Press Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention, America’s largest Protestant denomination, stonewalled and denigrated survivors of clergy sex abuse over almost two decades while seeking to protect their own reputations, according to a scathing 288-page investigative report issued Sunday. These survivors, and other concerned Southern Baptists, repeatedly shared allegations with the SBC’s Executive Committee, “only to be met, time and time again, with resistance, stonewalling, and even outright hostility from some within the EC,” said the report. The seven-month investigation was conducted by Guidepost Solutions, an independent firm contracted by the Executive Committee after delegates to last year’s national meeting pressed for a probe by outsiders. “Our investigation revealed that, for many years, a few senior EC leaders, along with outside counsel, largely controlled the EC’s response to these reports of abuse … [Read more...] about Report: Top Southern Baptists stonewalled sex abuse victims

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Job boards are great because they help you discover the latest opportunities, set up job alerts and use keywords to search for specific roles. But the problem is that thousands of people could be viewing these job adverts at the same time as you, so competition for these roles has become fierce. And more than half of jobs are filled before even reaching a job website. However, there is a solution. If you’re frustrated with endlessly trawling through job sites and never hearing back from recruiters, consider using speculative applications or networking instead.

You may already have a few businesses in … [Read more...] about How To Get A Job Before Its Advertised
