You will need 3-4 skeins of yarn for a lap blanket and 6-8 skeins for a larger throw blanket. Crochet hooks range in size from B to S, with S being the largest. The bigger the hook, the larger the stitch. The single crochet is the easier of the two, so beginners should learn the single crochet before attempting the double crochet. Slide a slipknot onto the crochet hook, wrap the yarn around the hook from the back to the front and draw a new loop through the knot. Start behind the hook and come over the hook and then draw it underneath. For a double crochet, insert the hook under the fourth loop from the hook. Yarn over the hook and pull it through the center of the chain. Then yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the first two loops from the hook. Repeat for the last two loops on the hook. Work from left to right. You can switch colors whenever you get to the end of a row before flipping your work if you like. Incorporate any loose ends into the blanket with small stitches before trimming the ends.

Throughout your PhD program you should try to do some teaching in addition to your course work and your own research. This could include giving guest lectures for classes in your department or getting a position as a teaching fellow or fixed-term faculty. The more of this experience you can get, the better. Teaching during your graduate work will allow you to develop that skill, in addition to your skills as a researcher and a thinker. If you have not gotten any teaching experience in your graduate program thus far, talk to your advisor about your desire to get that kind of experience. It may take you being proactive in order to get teaching experience, especially in graduate programs that do not emphasize teaching. In order to build your name and credentials in your field, it is important to start going to conferences and presenting at them. These meetings will help you build contacts and find out about new and interesting aspects of your field. Important opportunities do come out of these meetings. Your academic advisor should encourage you to attend academic conferences and give papers at these conferences. In some cases, you may even be able to work with your advisor and present that work at a conference with your advisor. However, if your advisor is well-known or a big name in their field, they are less likely to have the time to do this type of collaborative work. It is becoming increasingly necessary that a PhD student applying for a job already have publications accepted or published. In most cases, this will be an article or a review in an academic journal. Having publications before you complete your PhD makes you more competitive for the limited number of lecturer positions available. Having publications before you finish graduate school can be difficult, but it does show potential employers that you are serious about your academic research. It also shows them that you are likely to keep up with the demands of the tenure deadline. In addition to teaching and scholarship, you should work on getting experience with university service while in graduate school. This will show that you will be an attribute to a university department and you understand that service to the institution is a key component of the job of a lecturer. Service to the university can come in a wide variety of forms. A few examples include serving as the graduate student representative on hiring committees and helping organize conferences or speaking engagements at your university. In order to consolidate your teaching experience, conference experience, and to add to your publications, many PhD's take on temporary contracts as a post-doctoral researchers or teachers. Many use this time to convert their PhD dissertation into a book or publications. Also, if you did not get teaching experience during your graduate program, you may need to consider a Post-Doc position to get that experience. Once you have publications and teaching experience, it is much more likely that you will be able to get a job as a university lecturer.

You can also use your phone's model number (e.g., "Samsung Galaxy S6" instead of just "Samsung Galaxy") to narrow the search results. With very few exceptions, Android phones are unlocked by default. If you open an iPhone's Settings, tap Cellular (or Mobile Data) near the top of the menu, tap Cellular Data Options (or Mobile Data Options) near the top of the page, and see an option entitled "Cellular Data Network" (or "Mobile Data Network") on the page, your iPhone is likely unlocked.

You can view your phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number like so: iPhone - Open Settings, tap General, tap About, and find the "IMEI" section. The fifteen-digit number listed here is your phone's IMEI number. Android - Open Settings, scroll down and tap About device, tap Status, and find the "IMEI" section.

If you can't figure out whether or not your phone is unlocked from researching or using an IMEI number-checking service, just call your carrier and provide them with your account details. They'll be able to tell you if your phone is unlocked and, if it isn't, if it qualifies for unlocking.
