Slabtown Public House Set To Close
Slabtown will reportedly shut down for good on Saturday, September 24, 2022.
Gillespie said that Slabtown just couldn’t be kept float, according to a statement obtained from the Chronicle.
“We have made the incredibly difficult decision to close Slabtown Public House permanently,” Gillespie said in the written statement. “The reality is that many small businesses have closed since 2020 either due directly or indirectly to the economic impacts of COVID-19; we are simply the latest to do so. In time we hope to be able to bring Atlanta new restaurants again.”
Across the past two years, scores of Atlanta restaurants have closed down due to COVID-19 and its many variants. Staying above water has oftentimes centered on keeping fewer staff members on board and shifting to contactless carry-out and delivery options.

If you have curly hair, you know the struggle it can be to achieve straight hair. Thankfully, flat irons and straighteners can do the job.
In this article, we’ll explain how to curl your hair with a flat iron. We’ve listed some really simple steps so that you can follow along.
Should You Straighten Your Hair Wet Or Dry?
Some people may get away with straightening their hair while it’s wet, but after a while there is the risk of damaging your locks. For the best results, straighten your hair when it’s dry.
The moisture trapped within your follicles can hasten heat damage when straightening, and you don’t want to do that.
OK, let’s go over the steps for straightening your hair without heat first, then we’ll consider he steps for straightening your hair with heat.
How To Straighten Your Hair Without Heat
If you don’t want to use heat on your hair, it’s understandable; heat can damage your hair. The good news is that you can naturally straighten your hair as well.
Depending on the grade of hair you have you may be able to apply a hot towel on your head and comb it straighten. To naturally straighten your hair in other ways, here are some products you can use:
Keratherapy Keratin Infused Daily Smoothing Cream (6.8 oz)
MIZANI 25 Miracle Milk Leave-In Conditioner
Honey Miracle Hair Mask (12 Oz)
Keratin-Infused Anti-Frizz Moisturizing Hair Mask
Carol’s Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey Shine Pomade
How To Straightener Your Hair With Heat
You’ll need a flat iron to straighten your hair with heat. Once you’ve plugged in your flat iron, and positioned yourself in front of a mirror, you’re ready to go.
Grab A Small Section Of Your Hair
With your hand, grab some strands of hair — about 1 to 2 inches across should be enough — and pull it out, elevating it away from your head.
The reason you’ll want to pull it away from your head is because the flat iron is really hot! With the other hand, grab your flat iron.
Clamp Your Hair With the Flat Iron And Stroke Down
Now you’ll want to do is clamp your hair as close to the scalp without actually touching it. While you’re positioned the flat iron with your hair in between, stroke your hair in a downward motion.
Because of the heat, you should be able to do this one time and achieve the desired results: Straight hair.
Grab another small section of hair and follow the same steps.
Here’s a video to help you see how it’s done:
Some safety tips that you need to follow:
- Set it to the lowest temperature first. If you don’t get your hair straight, then adjust the setting hotter.
- Don’t keep your flat iron plugged up if you’re done with it.
- When applying the heat to your hair, don’t let the flat iron stay on one section of your hair for no longer than a second or so. You don’t want to damage your hair.
Last Word
Aside from using some rollers or a flat iron, some petroleum-free, mineral oil-free pomade can definitely straighten your hair. With every product, you’re going to have to see how it works with your particular hair type and if it works for you.
Once you decide on a hair product, be mindful of how long it lasts and how many times a week you have to use it.

Delta Air Lines is mandating new employee guidelines when it comes to calling in sick in light of the CDC’s new policies.
According to the New York Times, “The airline’s new policy, dated Tuesday, provides five days of paid leave for workers who test positive for the coronavirus to isolate, according to an internal communication to company leaders obtained by The New York Times. And it encourages, but does not require, a Covid test to go back to work, going a step further than the C.D.C. guidance, which does not include a recommendation for additional testing. ”
Delta Air Lines is also requiring all new hires to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, the airline said in a memo.
The airline industry is trying to climb back after a lackluster year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One way to do that is to ensure a safe and healthy workplace.
Delta is one of the best employers in Atlanta so this is a significant development for would-be employees.
Applying For A Job At Delta? Here Are The COVID Rules
Delta is taking steps to ensure a safe environment for all employees as well as customers by requiring all of its employees to be fully vaccinated.
Here’s Delta’s memo in part:
As of today, May 17, receiving the COVID-19 vaccination will be a condition of employment at Delta Air Lines, Inc. for all U.S. ground new hires unless you qualify for an accommodation. If you receive a conditional offer of employment, you will be required to have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine before your start date with plans to be fully vaccinated. We will provide more details on how to provide receipt of your vaccination at that time.
At Delta, the safety of our people and our customers is a top priority and part of our core values. This vaccination requirement is an important move to protect our workforce and ensure we can safely operate as demand returns, as we accelerate through recovery and into the future.
Along with several other of the major airlines, Delta is requiring passengers to be aware of the following health protocols:
- Face Coverings: Assurance that all passengers have a face covering and wear it at the airport and on board.
- Symptoms: Assurance that the passenger is not experiencing a fever, which is essentially a temperature (38C/100.4F or higher), coughing, shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, chills, muscle pain and/or sore throat.
- Exposure – Assurance that the passenger has not had close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 or had symptoms in the last 14 days.
