Here is a good place to start with checking email with VB since that is a topic you put it under.Retrieve Email and Parse Email in VB.NET - Tutorial

Are you sending yourself the fax or are they able to send the fax anywhere?  The latter has already been done numerous times.  There are email to fax and fax to email applications that have been available for decades.  I'm pretty certain that converting email to fax into app or form submission to fax is pretty trivial. They convert faxes to PDF's in many of these apps IIRC so anywhere you could view a PDF you could get a fax.

Seems like you may have already made up your mind on this one! You can't judge a place based on one experience, of course - and you know that there are jerks everywhere. Does the potential position involve working with/for lawyers? OK..kidding. But are your expectations of New Zealanders too high? I've lived in NZ and the US for equal periods of time, and I've noticed that Americans tend to idealize NZ a bit, ie. Everybody is nice, its very safe, you can hitchhike everywhere...Hobbiton it ain't.My mother grew up in NZ in the fifties, and she found it crushingly conformist, backward, and old-fashioned at the time. She (and many others) couldn't wait to leave the country to move to...London, Australia, the US...anywhere. NZ was about thirty years behind the rest of the world, and that wasn't necessarily a good thing. Over the years I think NZ that reserved, self-conscious atmosphere has lessened, NZ becoming more open minded, more sophisticated, and more secure in its identity. I would say it's definitely more "PC" and conservative than Australia (but what country isn't?).Australia is becoming more like the United States, and NZ is becoming less like Australia.The thing that strikes me as the biggest difference between NZ and the US is that in the US you are encouraged to be as confident and self-promoting as possible, whereas here it's kind of frowned upon. There's a phenomena known as "Tall Poppy Syndrome" in NZ where you must cut down the "tall poppies", ie. those who are more successful than you, to make yourself feel better. I do miss the utter (blind) self-confidence of Americans.I would say that the American "niceness" you speak of, that fake smiley shit, doesn't exist here and I don't think it will start any time soon. I do like how straightforward people are here. NZers are far more likely to invite you to their homes than Americans are (again, this depends on what part of the states you are from. I'm from the passive-aggressive Northwest).One final point: Auckland is so thoroughly different from the rest of the country, and if your job will be based in Auckland this might be the heart of the problem. Auckland was voted the Least Friendliest City in NZ recently (not that there's a lot of competition, but still). You might fare better in Wellington.Don't worry, this is still a really great country, on the whole I find people a lot more trustworthy -  and has not been taken over by the PC Police. But do be aware that while America is very much the "Wild West" of free speech, I find NZ to be a bit more stringent on that one. I was shocked to find when I moved back here that there is an Official Censor, which would never exist in the United States (we librarians wouldn't let that happen).

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Finding the right job candidates is one of the biggest recruiting challenges. Recruiters and other HR professionals that don’t use best recruiting strategies are often unable to find high-quality job applicants. With all the changes and advances in HR technologies, new recruiting and hiring solutions have emerged.

Back then, it was enough to post a job on job boards and wait for candidates to apply. Also called “post and pray” strategy.Today, it is more about building a strong Employer Branding strategy that attracts high quality applicants for hard-to-fill roles.Steps for finding the right job candidates1. Define your ideal candidate a.k.a candidate personaNot knowing who your ideal candidate is, will make finding one impossible.

The best way is to start from your current talent star employees. Learn more about their personalities, preferences, motivations and characteristics. Use these findings to find similar people for your current and future job openings.2. Engage your current employeesYou probably already know that your current employees are your best brand ambassadors. Same as current product users are best ambassadors for product brands. Their word of mouth means more than anyone else’s.Encourage their engagement and let them communicate their positive experiences to the outside.

Machine Learning today is one of the most sought-after skills in the market. A lot of Software Engineers are picking up ML, simply because it is a highly paid skill.So, how do you learn Machine Learning?First things first - the prerequisites:Basic calculus. In Machine Learning, you’d be working on a lot of optimizations that require knowledge of Calculus. It would be highly recommended that you are aware of functions, limits, differentiation, maxima, minima, etc.Linear Algebra. When you talk about ML, you will be dealing with matrices and vectors every day. So, knowledge of Linear Algebra is a must. However, you’d also be required to know about other important topics like Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors.Probability. Most ML algorithms try to “model” the underlying phenomena that generated the observed data. All of this modelling is probabilistic. It is therefore highly recommended that you are comfortable with the theory of Probability.Getting into actual ML:Take a great online course on ML. The most well-known course is the one offered by Andrew Ng (Coursera). It is a great course and it teaches you the basics of Machine Learning - Regression, classification, various ML algorithms, etc. The course also requires you to build a digit recognition system.Once you have the basics in place, it would be a great idea to practice some problems on Kaggle. Kaggle is a well-known Machine Learning contest platform where you can compete with others in training ML models on various datasets.Take up ML projects. This is the most important point. Ideally, you’d want to have not only ML experience but also some great projects on your resume that you can showcase. These projects will help you distinguish yourself from other candidates. After searching a lot for courses that teach ML through projects, I found the one by Eduonix quite relevant.The best way to learn Machine Learning is to actually apply it to real datasets and solve real problems. Machine Learning is as much of an art as it is a science. You will learn it from experience. Your focus should be on attempting multiple ML projects so as to gain experience and build a strong profile.You may also want to read these answers:Aman Goel's answer to Which are the best online courses for machine learning?(ignore the title of the question.

I-9, W-4, state W-4, and some sort of state new hire form. The New hire form is for dead beat parents. Don’t inform the state in time and guess what? You become personally liable for what should have been garnished from their wages.From the sound of your question I infer that you are trying to make this a DIY project. DO NOT. There are just too many things that you can F up. Seek yea a CPA or at least a payroll service YESTERDAY.
