Q: Purchase your equipment online or at a local supplier of homebrewing and fermenting equipment. Clean your equipment and wine bottles before beginning. Avoid using soap when cleaning since this can leave a residue. Instead, use hot water and scrub with a stiff brush. You can also disinfect the equipment with a bleach solution (1/4 cup bleach for every gallon of water). You'll need: A 2-gallon (7.6 L) crock or glass jar Long wooden spoon A 1-gallon (3.8 L) carboy (a glass container with a small neck) An airlock A thin plastic tube for siphoning Clean wine bottles with corks or screw caps and cut the pomegranates. Choose pomegranates that are heavy and look deep red. If your pomegranates are small, you may want to use a few more. Wash your pomegranates and cut them in half. Scoop out all of the fruity seeds. Discard the skin and the pith since these can make your wine taste bitter. To crush the pomegranate seeds, you may want to pulse them in a blender or food processor. Place the crushed seeds into a fermentation crock or glass jar. You'll also need to sterilize the pomegranates using a Campden tablet. Dissolve one Campden tablet in 2 cups of the crushed pomegranates. Return this mixture to to the rest of the crushed seeds. To give the Campden tablet time to work, wait 4 hours before continuing on and adding other ingredients. Pour 1 gallon of boiling water into your container with the crushed pomegranate seeds. You'll also need to add 1 lb (450 grams) of minced raisins (choose organic so you don't get sulfites), 2 lbs (900 grams) of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of acid blend, and 1 teaspoon of pectic enzyme. Mix this together and let it stand until the mixture is at room temperature. This mixture containing the sweetened crushed fruit is called must. This will eventually ferment and be strained to create your pomegranate wine.
A: Gather and clean your winemaking equipment. Clean Crush the seeds and sterilize the fruit. Combine your other ingredients.

Q: In order to become truly present, evaluate all of the things that have traditionally kept you from being so. Perhaps while at work, you get sidetracked when thinking about your children and you begin to worry about them or feel anxiety. Or maybe you feel other negative emotions often like guilt or frustration. Make a list of the emotions you are most prone to and then burn it or toss it in the trash. Though being present requires your full focus, you should still not completely shun any negative thoughts or emotions that you might have. Trying to ignore a thought is the surest way to keep it in the forefront of your mind, so give your negative emotions a moment or two, think about them, write them down, and then refocus on the task at hand. You might think to yourself "I acknowledge that I am still upset about my fight last night with my mother, but I cannot do anything about that right now. I need to work on preparing for my presentation and I will call her later when I have more time." Question any negative thoughts that you might be having and evaluate whether they are important enough to take you from the task or person at hand. Many times, your negative thoughts might not be rooted in reality, so do your best to delegitimize them when you can. Work to gently redirect yourself to the reality in front of you. For instance, you might be worried that someone will break into your home. But if there have been no break-ins in your neighborhood lately or you have a home alarm system, then perhaps this fear is not worth bothering with at the moment. Learn to differentiate between what is a priority and what is a distraction. Make a list of everything that you need to do the day before you need to do it and rank them based on what you will complete first. Complete each task one at a time. Make time for yourself and for your family each day. One small thing that you can do at work is to prioritize emails first and then move on to larger tasks that will take more time and energy. Though social media has helped to advance and inform society in multiple ways, it can also be the single most distracting habit that you might have in your life. When you truly need to focus, turn off your cellphone, or at least put it on silent. Consider deactivating a few of your social media accounts or disabling email on your phone. Consider making it a family practice that no one has their phones on at dinner. One way to ensure that you are practicing mindfulness is to follow the things that you enjoy and love. Take a job that interests you, ask the girl you've been crushing on for a while on a date, and explore your hobbies. Create a life that is worth staying present in.
A: Evaluate your tendencies. Accept your thoughts and emotions. Question your thoughts. Focus on what is important. Turn off your phone. Follow your passion.

Q: If you only plan to be a reverend of a small home church unaffiliated with any denomination, a shortcut can work. If you ever plan to work through a larger church or within a certain denomination, though, do not expect to be taken seriously if you took a shortcut through the ordination process. . The most common shortcut people take toward becoming an ordained reverend is by applying online. These services usually require you to submit a fee and to fill out some brief paperwork before you gain your a "license" from them to act as a reverend. If you do go this route, try to find a service that will at least provide you with a hard copy of your certificate instead of simply allowing you to print one out. While it is rare, some independent, non-denominational Christian churches will ordain someone with little to no formal training. At most, you might only be expected to take a class or two before being ordained.
A: Know the downfalls of taking a shortcut. Get ordained online Find an independent church that ordains on the spot.

Q: Antidepressants are usually prescribed by your doctor or psychiatrist for atypical depression. SSRIs are one common type of antidepressants with fewer side effects. SSRIs work by increasing the amount of serotonin available on the brain. Examples of SSRIs include Prozac, Celexa, Lexapro, Paxil, and Zoloft. Your dosage will depend on the prescription given by your doctor or psychiatrist. Another antidepressant group is SNRIs, which work by increasing the amount of serotonin and norepinephrine available in the brain. This group includes medications such as Effexor XR, Cymbalta, and Pristiq. NDRI is another option. It affects the levels of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. It includes a medication called Wellbutrin. You can also take atypical antidepressants, named so because they does not fit neatly into other categories of antidepressants. This category of antidepressants include Remeron and Viibryd. The oldest group of antidepressants is MAOIs, which have been proven effective to treat atypical depression. They also help related symptoms, such as anxiety and panic. Medications in this group include Parnate and Nardil. Though MAOIs are very effective, they are not used as much as the newer type of antidepressant such as SSRIs. They are generally used as a last resort if other treatments don't work due in part to serious side effects. MAOIs require the user to follow a strict diet, as they can have dangerous (or even deadly) interactions with certain foods and other medications, like birth control pills, decongestants and certain herbal supplements.
A:
Take SSRIs. Try additional antidepressants. Take MAOIs.
