Before you jump straight into your flower arrangement, it's important to have all of the necessary materials easily at hand -- this will make the process more efficient. Depending on the type of flower arrangement you are making, you will need a selection of some or all of the following: A clean vessel to contain the flowers -- this could be a vase, a bowl or a basket (amongst other things) depending on the number and size of flowers the flowers. Some floral foam or a flower frog, to secure flowers in wide-mouthed containers. Some floral tape or elastic bands to hold flowers together, especially in tall, narrow vases. A sharp knife or garden clippers to cut the flower stems. Some preservative solution (often supplied with the fresh flowers). A clean, spacious work surface, lined with newspaper. Selection of flowers and greenery.

Summary: Gather the necessary materials.

You can use leftover rice from the night before, or you can make it fresh. If you wish to make it fresh, do the following: Fill a saucepan with cup (115 grams) of dry rice (preferably medium-grain) and 1 cup (240 milliliters) of water. Bring the water and rice to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the saucepan, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer the rice over low heat for 15 minutes. Fluff the rice up with a fork. Leave it in the saucepan. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot, especially if you made the rice fresh. This will help dislodge any rice that got stuck to the bottom of the pan. Stir the rice often so that it doesn't burn or stick to the bottom of the pot. The rice pudding is done when it becomes thick, like porridge. Keep stirring until it is evenly combined. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot from time to time as well. Sometimes, rice gets glued to the bottom of the pot, and this will knock those grains loose. Using a ladle, scoop the pudding into individual bowls. Garnish each with a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Serve the pudding while it is still hot. If you'd like a more refreshing treat, let the pudding cool down to room temperature first, then chill it in the fridge until it becomes cold to your liking. If you are chilling the pudding in the fridge, press a sheet of plastic wrap against the surface of the pudding. This will prevent a skin from forming on top. Peel the plastic wrap away before serving the pudding.

Summary: Have 1 cups (375 grams) of cooked rice ready in a saucepan. Stir in the milk and sugar. Cook the rice, uncovered, over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes. Take the pot off the stove and stir in the vanilla extract. Spoon the pudding into cups and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving.

Open Explorer (also called File Explorer) by pressing Win+E. Scroll through the list of drives and folders on the left until you find the one that contains the files you want to save to your USB drive. Personal files are often stored in the "Documents" folder (sometimes called "My Documents" or "Joe's Documents," if your name is Joe). If you are looking for photos or music you've saved to your computer, try looking in the "Pictures" and "Music" folders. USB ports are located in different places, depending on your computer. Desktop computers often have these ports on the front panel of the unit, though sometimes you'll find them on the rear of the monitor. Laptops generally have USB ports on both sides of the device. You can copy files to any folder on the USB drive. Your system likely popped up a dialog box a few moments after the device was connected. One of the options should be "Open folder to view files." Click that link to arrive at the root (main folder) of your USB drive. Files can be copied right to this folder, or to any folders you see here. If no window pops up, press Win+E to open a new Explorer window, then double-click the name of your USB drive on the left side of the screen. It should be called something like "USB Drive" or "Removable Storage," or perhaps the name of its manufacturer (e.g., "Sandisk"). Creating a new folder with a memorable name will help you stay organized. To create a new folder on your USB drive, press Ctrl+ Shift+N, then type a folder name (e.g., "Personal," "Photos," etc). Press Enter. Double-click the new folder to open it. With both Explorer windows open (one to the computer, the other to the USB drive), drag a file from the computer to the USB drive. Dragging a file to the USB drive will create a new copy of the file without deleting the original on the USB drive. To copy multiple files at once, hold down the Ctrl key and single-click each file. When all of the correct files are highlighted, click anywhere in the highlighted area and drag the group of files to the USB drive. You can also copy entire folders to your computer by dragging them in the same way. If you have a file open in a program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop, you can save it directly to the USB drive without having to drag it between Explorer windows. Click "File," then "Save As," and select a save location on the USB drive. To ensure you don't harm the data on the USB drive, you'll need to safely eject the drive. At the bottom right corner of the screen by the clock, find the USB icon (depending on your version of Windows, it may have a green checkmark over it). Right-click the icon, then choose "Safely eject." When you see a confirmation that says "It's safe to unplug your device," you can remove the USB drive from the port.
Summary: Navigate to the folder that contains the files you'd like to copy. Plug the USB flash drive into a USB port on the computer. Find a place on your USB drive to store the copied files. Drag file(s) from the computer to the USB drive. Save an open file right to the USB drive. Eject the drive safely.
