Article: Weighted GPA is the idea that some harder classes, like honors or AP, should be weighted to reflect an extra degree of difficulty. So, instead of the traditional 4.0 grade scale, a weighted scale can go as high as 5.0, reflecting a harder course load. The idea is that getting a "C" in AP Algebra is just as hard as getting a "B" in regular Algebra. This time, use the same table as above, except add 1 point to each grade that you got in an honors or AP class. Here is what the scaling system usually looks like:  A = 5 A- = 4.7 B+ = 4.3 B = 4 B- = 3.7 C+ = 3.3 C = 3.0 C- = 2.7 D+ = 2.3 D = 2 D- = 1.7 F = 1 Add up the numerical scores assigned to each of your grades. For the sake of example, say you took AP English (C), Honors History (B), Math (B), AP Chemistry (C+), Music Theory (B-), and Honors Art (A-). That would mean you'd have: 3 + 4 + 3 + 3.3 + 2.7 + 4.7 = 20.7. Again, you're just finding the average score. This will give you your final GPA score on a 5.0 scale. Note that you can only receive a 5.0 GPA if all of your classes are honors or AP and you receive an "A" in each class. Many students are required to take classes without extra degrees of difficulty, such as gym. In our example, we added up our numbers to get 20.7. Since we took six classes, we have to divide 20.7 by six. 20.7 ÷ 6 = 3.45 (or 3.5).

Article: You may want to use the "desktop" or a folder in the "documents" section. This will save space and work if you are planning to send files over email. It will also allow you to keep files together so you don't lose them. Create a new folder on your desktop or in a documents folder by pressing your right mouse button. Select "New Folder" and name it according to your file type or project. Creating and zipping a folder is also useful for data storage, email inbox storage and email transmission times. You will usually use a mouse to do this. A list of options will pop up. If you don't have a right mouse button, hold down "Shift" and "F10" to get the same list of options.  Choose "Compressed Folder." Wait while the folder compresses. It should say the previous folder's name and a ".zip" file extension name. A person who receives a .zip file must double click on the folder to unzip the file. After completing this, they will be able to access all of the files in the original folder.

Place the file you want to zip in a place where you have easy access. Consider creating and zipping a new folder, if you want to compress multiple files. Select the item that you would like to compress. Hold down the right button on the mouse. Choose the "Send To" option in the list of right-click options. Move your cursor right, into the list of "Send To" options. Look for a new icon in the folder. Attach this file to an email, place it on a hard drive or simply keep it in the folder.
Article: You can help your hair loss by changing your hair routine. Avoid shampooing too often because frequent shampooing can strip the natural oils from your hair. Frequent shampooing doesn’t really cause hair loss, but if you are stripping the oils from your hair, it can make the hair more fragile. It is recommended that you only wash your hair two to three times a week. There are some shampoos that are loaded with chemicals. The extra chemicals can be rough on your hair, dry it out, and make your hair loss worse. Try natural shampoos instead that have ingredients that will nourish your hair, not strip the nutrients from it. Avoid using products with ingredients like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), parabens, and ammonium chloride, especially if you have thin, fragile, or treated hair. Hair loss might be caused by too much conditioner. Conditioners can weigh down the roots of the hair and damage the hair follicles, which can cause it to break and fall out. Use a conditioner one to two times a week and avoid using conditioner on the scalp. Try a natural conditioner as well, such as Nature’s Gate, Babo Botanicals, WEN, and Intelligent Nutrients.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid over-shampooing. Stop using chemical heavy shampoos. Avoid too much conditioner.
