Q: As with most jobs these days, academic lecturer positions are posted online on university or college websites and the websites of higher education organizations. Search specific university websites, as well as the websites of organizations focusing on higher education jobs in the UK. There are also specialty websites that post jobs in specific academic disciplines. It may be that you will hear about jobs from colleagues and supervisors as well. For instance, if you are in a PhD program you may hear about an upcoming job from a professor in your department or from other students in your program. You should be willing to go to a variety of locations if you want to be a university lecturer. Limiting your job search by location is not a good idea. With the limited job openings there are, going where the jobs are is important. A CV, which is short for "curriculum vitae," is basically an academic resume. It lists all of your experiences in academia and the skills you have developed there. It should be done in a clear and concise format that highlights your experience and unique attributes. One of the benefits of using a CV is that is doesn't need to be changed for each position you are applying for, since it is a thorough list of all of your work and education. At minimum, your CV should include sections for education, teaching experience, publications, and university service, as well as references. You should find out as much as you can about the school you are hoping to teach at. This includes their overall philosophy, their financial situation, and their plans for the future. This information is usually available online. Look for general university or college information, information about the specific department you are hoping to join, and about the faculty already in that department. An academic job application will usually include a cover letter, statement of teaching philosophy, one of your publications, and other documents, in addition to your CV. When completing a job application for a lecturer position, you need to make sure to do some research about the university and its courses before you apply. You also need to read the job ad very carefully so you know exactly what they want. With the information you get in your research you can tailor your application to the needs of the institution. Most job applications are done online these days. There is usually a link connected to the job posting where you will turn in all of your application components. When turning in electronic documents for a job application, make sure the documents are in a format that will not allow them to be changed depending on what application is used to view them. For instance, a PDF document is in a permanent form that will not be altered by the PDF viewer that is used to view it.
A: Look for job postings. Create a CV. Do research about the school. Complete and turn in an application.

Q: Do this only after the sprigs have been washed well and patted dry. If you use your fingers, gently hold the top of the stem with one hand and use your other hand to gently pinch and run down the stem detaching the leaves. If you wish to use a fork instead, gently hold the top and run the stem between the tines. If not, stir the leaves gently and return the plate to the drying area. Label the container with the "packed on" date and the contents. Note that dried thyme is one of the best herbs for retaining flavor. Still yet, thyme is best fresh (as is the case with most herbs).
A: Detach the leaves from the stem using either your fingers or a fork. Spread the leftover leaves (detached from the stem) on a plate in a cool location. Check the leaves after several days to see if the drying process is complete. Push the thyme leaves into a pile when they are dry and transfer the leaves to a resealable container. Store the dehydrated thyme leaves in the refrigerator. Finished.

Q: Use a wooden spoon to push it down to the bottom of the pot until the entire item is saturated. Be careful to not splash the water over the side of the stockpot. If you're dyeing small items (like pantyhose), you can dye 2 or 3 pairs at once. For larger items, try to do one at a time to make sure they're not overcrowded, which could make the color uneven. If there isn't enough room to swish the fabric around with your wooden spoon, the pot is too crowded. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure the water doesn't start boilingheat is needed to help the dye set into the nylon, but extreme heat could actually damage the fabric. Plus, boiling water could get onto your stove and stain it. Remember to stir with a spoon that you don't intend to use with food again. To help remind yourself that you shouldn't use it for food, put a piece of colored tape around the handle or write on it with a permanent marker. After the 30 minutes are up, turn off the burner. Put a hot pad or something similar on the counter next to the sink, and use oven mitts to carefully move the pot. Use a pair of tongs or 2 long spoons to remove the nylon from the water and put it into the sink. Make sure to clear any dishes out of the sink before you do this. To help protect your counters from potential drips, lay down an old towel on the counter first. Be careful to not burn yourself, as the nylon will still be really hot from the simmering water and it won't cool down quickly since you'll be applying more hot water. Using rubber gloves can help protect your hands from the heat while also letting you maneuver the nylon so that it all gets rinsed out. This process may take 10 to 15 minutes. Once the water is running clear, turn the water to the cold setting and thoroughly soak the nylon. Double-check to make sure the water is still running clear. The danger of dyeing your hands should be gone by now, but still, be wary of drops of dye around the edge of your sink that you could accidentally brush up against. Use a sponge or some paper towels to continually clean up drips as they appear. If the weather is nice, hang the nylon up outdoors so it can dry in the sun. If you don't have that option, use a line indoors in a basement or laundry room. Let it dry completely before you wear or use it. Put a towel underneath the nylon to catch any potential drips. Wash recently-dyed nylons on their own or by hand for the first 2 to 3 washes so any residual dye doesn't run off and ruin other garments.
A: Submerge the nylon item into the stockpot. Simmer your nylon for 30 minutes, stirring it every 5 minutes. Use tongs to remove the nylon from the pot and transfer it to the sink. Rinse the nylon with hot water until the water runs clear. Give your nylon a final rinse in ice-cold water to set the dye. Line-dry your nylon somewhere it won't come into contact with other fabrics.

Q: Follow the instructions about cutting slices described in the sub-section on peanut butter ornaments. Create large holes in the center. These holes will be filled with the suet mixture later on. Remove any chunks of gristle or fat that start floating in the liquid suet once it melts down. Do this carefully to prevent any splashes or spills. Thoroughly mix the two ingredients together until combined. A combination of bird seed and cracked corn may also be used. Mix the seed into the suet and peanut butter until evenly distributed. The mixture should cool to room temperature before you handle it any further. Nonstick foil works best. The squares should be large enough to wrap and tie around your bread rings. Place each square on top of the foil. Center the bread ring on top of the square as best as possible. Pack the mixture firmly into the hole using your fingers. The mix should be fairly thick at this point and may need to be warmed up on the stove over low heat until it becomes soft enough to mold. Tie the square into one or two knots. Continue until you run out of bread or suet. The ornaments must chill and harden for a minimum of eight hours. Tie the other end to the branch of a tree.
A:
Cut thick slices of bread from a semi-hard loaf. Cut rings out of the bread slices. Melt beef suet in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir crunchy peanut butter into the melted suet. Remove the saucepan from the stove and stir in birdseed. Allow the suet mixture to cool. Lay out a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Cut squares out of onion bags. Place a bread ring on top of one of the onion bag squares. Fill the center of the bread ring with the cooled bird seed mixture. Pull the corners of the onion bag square up and around the bread ring. Repeat the filling and tying procedures with the remaining bread rings and suet. Chill the ornaments in the refrigerator overnight. Tie one end of a piece of yarn around the top of the onion bag netting.
