Q: One of the best ways to do this is to look at the color of the berries. Depending on where your berries grow, their colors can range from light, but vibrant, red to a very dark crimson color. They should also be firm to the touch. These berries are the ones that make it into the fresh produce section of your grocery store. They are best used for cooking and baking. While this may sound strange, a great way to sort the best berries from the not as great ones is to bounce them. Quality berries are firm and springy--meaning they bounce off the ground nicely. They bounce because of the air bubbles inside the berries. Don’t throw them as hard as you can at the floor, but a simple drop against a flat surface should be enough to tell you whether or not your berries have the bounce. You can either use the fresh ones in a recipe, or freeze them for later use. You might also consider  drying some of the cranberries for a delicious snack. Fresh, bouncy cranberries will last for up to two months in the refrigerator.
A: Sort the berries for qualities. Bounce the berries. Keep the bouncy berries and discard the rest.

Article: For this mobile you will need silk flowers, thick ribbon, straight pins, and a straw or styrofoam wreath. A 12 inch wreath will be a good size, and you'll need several bouquets of flowers. Start by attaching the ribbon to the inside of your wreath with two straight pins (push the pins into the wreath). Then, wrap your wreath in the ribbon until it is fully covered. If you have lots of ribbon to spare you may want to wrap it tightly so that the ribbon continually overlaps. This will prevent your wreath from showing through. Then, secure the end of the ribbon inside your wreath with two more straight pins. It's easier to wrap your wreath if you leave the packaging on. Styrofoam wreaths don't always have packaging, but straw wreaths generally do. This will keep the straw from falling out of the wreath. Take your flowers and cut off any excess leaves, stems, or parts of the flower that you don't like. The flowers will need to be relatively flat, and you want each bloom to be an individual, meaning you don't want to leave the flowers connected to one another. You can use different colored flowers here, but one flower would look pretty as well. Hold your wreath and place each flower on the outside of the wreath, securing it with pins. Make sure you place the pin as far inside the flower as you can so it doesn't show. Cover the entire wreath with flowers. You can use glue here instead to attach your flowers, but pinning is easier and will provide a more secure hold for the flower. You don't want to place the flower on the wreath as if you were hanging it from a door. Instead, imagine your wreath is flat on the ground. You want to place your flowers on the side of the wreath, that is more perpendicular to the ground, rather than the top of the wreath that is parallel with your ground. Place your flowers around the wreath as if you are creating a crown. Take two ribbons and attach them to the wreath as you did in the previous section, on the 12, 3, 6, and 9 points of a clock. Because your mobile doesn't have anything hanging from it, your ribbons will need to be much longer. Cut your ribbons four to five feet each so that when you hang them the mobile will hang down about two to two and a half feet from the ceiling. It may be better to start off with longer ribbon, because you can always cut it if it's too long. If you cut your ribbon too short, you will have to cut another length of ribbon to make it longer. Hang the ribbons from a hook attached to your ceiling and position your mobile so that the wreath is parallel with the ceiling. If you find it is too long you can always trim the ribbon and reattach it to your wreath. This wreath is a simple, yet elegant mobile. You can make it more exciting by adding different types of flowers, or you can keep it elegant by using a white or off white flower with a solid color ribbon.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Visit a craft store for your supplies. Wrap the wreath in ribbon. Cut your flowers. Pin your flowers to the wreath. Attach ribbons to the wreath. Position and hang your mobile.

Problem: Article: Your child will appreciate it if you put time and effort into your care package. Try to dress up the package with a theme. If it's a cold-care kit, include some Red Cross symbols and a few band aids; if it's a movie night care package, draw movie reels on the box or include some old theater tickets in the package. You can also include sticky notes on the items explaining why you included them. For example, you might write, “chicken soup for your cold,” or “thought you could use a movie night after your big exam.” If you're sending food or liquids it's especially important to make sure you seal them up in their own containers inside the larger care package.  If you're sending cough medicine or other liquids, place the bottle in a ziplock bag. If you're sending baked goods, wrap them in several layers of tinfoil and place them in a Tupperware for even more protection. Dorm addresses can be confusing. Make sure you have your child's building and room number right before you mail the package.  Let your child know a package is coming. That way, they can be on the lookout for it in case the post office doesn't notify them. If you want the package to be a surprise, call your child's dorm and ask if they can give provide you with the room number.
Summary: Get creative. Seal it up. Double-check the address.

Q: Surveyors are looking for specific types of people, and while you won't qualify for every survey (if you're a 25-year-old healthy hipster and they're looking for a 60-year-old couch potato, you're just not going to make the cut). Many survey companies offer screener surveys when you register, which usually don't pay.  However, it's an important first step, and worth the little extra time it takes to fill these screening surveys out because the more demographic information the market research companies have on you, the more surveys they can send you. Remember, you will only be matched with surveys that you can actually contribute to, so if you leave all your screener information blank to get through it more quickly, you will receive fewer survey opportunities. Keep an eye out on both the site and your email regularly for survey opportunities. Some companies offer surveys more often than others—and you certainly don’t want to miss any of them!  Any individual survey site may only offer a couple of surveys to you in a given month. The more companies you sign up with, the more surveys you'll be able to complete. Set up a rule for your email so that any survey emails that come in are flagged, make noise when they arrive, and appear at the top of your list. Everything you do to make them stand out will help. Once you have lots of surveys available, you can be more selective and pick the ones that seem like the best use of your time. If time isn’t an issue, on the other hand, you can do them all. You're under no obligation to complete any surveys if you don't want to.
A:
Be prepared. Fill out the surveys. Check often! Choose and complete the best surveys.
