Summarize the following:
These should be purely factual observations, with no component of judgment or evaluation. People often disagree about evaluations because they value things differently, but directly observable facts provide a common ground for communication. For example, "It's 2:00 a.m. and I hear your stereo playing" states an observed fact, while "It's way too late to be making such an awful racket" makes an evaluation. "I just looked in the refrigerator and saw that there's no food, and I'm thinking that you didn't go grocery shopping" states an observed fact (with an inference explicitly stated), while "You wasted the whole day" makes an evaluation. Or, guess what the other person is feeling, and ask. Naming the emotion, without moral judgment, enables you to connect in a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation. Perform this step with the aim of accurately identifying the feeling that you or the other person are experiencing in that moment, not with the aim of shaming them for their feeling or otherwise trying to prevent them from feeling as they do. Feelings are sometimes hard to put into words. For example, "There's half an hour to go before the show starts, and I see that you're pacing (observation). Are you nervous?" "I see your dog running around without a leash and barking (observation). I'm scared." that feeling. Or, guess the need that caused the feeling in the other person, and ask. When our needs are met, we have happy, pleasant feelings; when they are not met, we have unpleasant feelings. By tuning into the feeling, you can often find the underlying need. Stating the need, without morally judging it, gives you both clarity about what is alive in you or the other person in that moment. For example, "I see you looking away while I'm talking, and you've been speaking so quietly, I can't hear you (observation). Please speak up so I can understand. "I'm feeling uncomfortable (feeling) because I'm needing connection right now. Is now a good time to hang out?" "I saw that your name wasn't mentioned in the acknowledgments. Are you feeling resentful because you're not getting the appreciation you need?" Note that "needs" have a special meaning in NVC: they are common to all people and not tied to any particular circumstance or strategy for fulfilling them. So, wanting to go to a movie with someone is not a need and a desire to spend time with a specific person is not a need. The need in that case might be companionship. You can meet your need for companionship in many ways, not just with that specific person and not just by going to a movie. Ask clearly and specifically for what you want right now, rather than hinting or stating only what you don't want. For the request to really be a requestand not a demandallow the other person to say no or propose an alternative. You take responsibility for getting your own needs met, and you let them take responsibility for theirs. "I notice that you haven't spoken in the last ten minutes (observation). Are you feeling bored? (feeling)" If the answer is yes, you might bring up your own feeling and propose an action: "Well, I'm bored, too. Hey, how would you like to go to the Exploratorium?" or perhaps, "I'm finding these people really interesting to talk with. How about we meet up in an hour when I'm done here?"

summary: State the observations that are leading you to feel the need to say something. State the feeling that the observation is triggering in you. that is the cause of that feeling. Make a concrete request for action to meet the need just identified.

Summarize the following:
You may be able to figure out which program you're supposed to use to open the file based on where the file is stored or what the file is named. For example, if you found the DAT file inside of an "Adobe" folder, you can guess that an Adobe app is meant to open the DAT file. If the file is inside of a folder that contains other system files for your computer, it's probably best to leave the DAT file aloneit's probably used by your computer's built-in programs or features. If you received the DAT file as an email message or from a download site, try contacting the person who sent or uploaded the DAT file and asking what program they used to create the file. This is unlikely to yield much if you're asking on a crowded forum or a file-sharing site, but you should be able to get an answer out of a coworker or a friend via email. You may be able to use your computer's built-in text editor to view some (or all) of the DAT file's contents: Windows Open Notepad, then drag-and-drop the DAT file into the Notepad window. Mac Open TextEdit from your Mac's "Applications" folder, then drag-and-drop the DAT file into the TextEdit window. Depending on the DAT file, you may be able to see a line or two of text that determines the type of software used to open the file. Even if you don't see a line about the specific program you need to use, you might find a line that indicates the type of file (e.g., video or text) that the DAT contents are meant to be. Some programssuch as VLC Media Player, iTunes, Preview, and Notepad++can be used to open a large number of file types without changing the files' contents. For example, VLC Media Player can open most video file extensions, while you can download and use Notepad++ on Windows to open virtually any text-based file. Unfortunately, if you haven't been able to determine the DAT file's origin program by this point, you'll have to start attempting to open the DAT file with different programs on your computer. You can do this by opening a program, dragging the DAT file onto the program's window, dropping it there, and waiting for the file to open. If the file opens in a recognizable format, you've found the correct program. If the program displays the DAT file as an incomprehensible jumble of characters or refuses to open the file, your selected program isn't the right program.

summary: Consider the context of the file. Ask the file's creator. Open the DAT file in a text editor. Look for information about the DAT file. Try opening the DAT file in a general program. Use trial-and-error.

Summarize the following:
Start by adding 1 cup (240mL) of water to create a liquid base in the pan. Then mix in 1 cups (345 g) of granulated sugar and the juice from half of a lemon. Do this over a medium-high heat, and continuously stir the mixture to keep the sugar from burning.
summary: Bring the sugar, water, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan.
