 original material, without additives and with different ratios of sand addition, were prepared. These samples did not sinterize in the studied temperature range (800ºC–1300ºC). A third group of samples, with the addition of 20%, 40% and 60% of discarded glass were made. Sintered samples, with different characteristics, were obtained when treating them at 1200°C. Starting from calcined mud, that is, without carbon, samples with similar characteristics were also prepared. After heat treatment, dense bodies were obtained, with suitable characteristics.

Charlie Sheen: 'Two and a Half Men' is a steaming pile of @#$!
Sometime after Charlie Sheen's memorable "Two and a Half Men" meltdown, the actor seemed to have a change of heart about his old show. Gone were rants about the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, and Sheen's frequent predictions of gloom and doom for the series. Instead he had praise for his replacement, Ashton Kutcher, and positive thoughts for the show. But that was then.
Recently Sheen backed away from the positive spin and said he believed the show should end after its current season. Now? He's officially back to bashing it.
The latest change of heart came after Warner Bros., the production company behind "Men," sent Sheen and others involved in his upcoming FX show, "Anger Management," a cease and desist letter. According to TMZ, the letter warned against using images from "Two and a Half Men" to promote Sheen's show.
It wasn't long before Sheen shot back.
"I"m thrilled," he told TMZ.  Perhaps if Warner Bros. spent as much time and energy focusing on THEIR show, it wouldn't be such a steaming pile of a--."
Are you surprised to see Sheen is back to bashing the show, or was it just a matter of time? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page.While the village-like historic district has retained its architectural charm, Georgetown has lost its soul.
Once a primary destination for hometown residents, the area had long been a premier shopping, dining and socializing district in D.C. Until advisory neighborhood commissioners and a “citizens group” exerted a combined influence nearly three decades ago to impose artificial marketplace restrictions that would have made Soviet apparatchiks proud.
Of notable irony, the Georgetown liquor license moratorium, the city’s very first among the very few now largely abandoned experiments in arbitrary licensing limits in only a handful of hyper-localized retail areas, went into effect the same year the Berlin Wall came down.
Georgetown became a mere victim of a failed prohibition regime once fancied by bureaucrats. One that savvier neighborhoods of Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan have been slowly shedding, although too timidly, in an attempt to undo the damage done.
All four neighborhoods with the five notorious license bans beginning 15 to 26 years ago experienced a reduction in amenities and an explosion of regret. Both engendered variable loosening of restrictions so minor they failed to revive much business investment interest. Commercially successful areas simply rejected falling for the scheme in the first place, including by overwhelming opposition in the vibrant Logan Circle, Shaw and U Street neighborhoods three years ago.
Georgetown has apparently learned little observing the ineffectualness of lifting only a little of the bans or the benefit of never having made the marketplace mistake.
A decade after the repeatedly renewed moratorium was first imposed in 1989, the Georgetown Business Improvement District (BID) organization was established for the purpose of “protecting and enhancing the accessibility, attractiveness and overall appeal of Georgetown’s commercial district.” In recent years the BID has been loudly sounding alarms that the area has become one of those places you can easily forget even exists and rarely, if ever, feel compelled to patronize.
The group has highlighted eroded economic vitality and crumbling commercial viability of a once bustling retail and restaurant-bar scene.
In September, the Georgetown BID released a white paper on the area’s liquor license restrictions, detailing a litany of market-manipulating effects that have rendered abandoned licenses available by atrophy unattractive and unutilized. The organization’s leadership sought to negotiate a deal to avoid continued opposition to ending the moratorium by the ANC and Citizens Association of Georgetown, both of which will vote this week on an ill-advised “compromise” offered to the recalcitrant groups.
ANC-2E vice chair Bill Starrels recently proclaimed that eliminating the ban would “create chaos.” He is presumably alleging destruction other than what has befallen Georgetown’s flailing retail environment.
Starrels hopes to overrule city law by imposing “cookie-cutter” restrictions allowing only restaurants, not bars, and forcing early closing hours, prohibiting alcohol service after midnight, banning amplified recorded music and other unpopular operating limits. He doesn’t seem to realize the explosion in nighttime enterprise across the city reflects strong community desire for multi-activity and late-night venues offering combinations of dining, drinking, lounging and dancing.
He’s apparently chasing ghosts from a formerly broke-down alcohol-licensing agency for which operators advocated repair to allow for more efficient and fair administration.
Starrels and “fellow-travelers” in state-sanctioned economic planning appear to have coerced a clearly cowered BID into counterproductive diplomacy with denizens. The BID has acceded to demands rendering regulatory reform meaningless and is recommending restrictions on potential licensees so deal-breaking that takers will remain flat-lined.
BID CEO and president Joe Sternlieb’s concessions on no longer advocating a clear moratorium end and endorsing ANC-negotiated bans on essential nightlife activities are shameful. It will only relegate Georgetown to continued commercial decline.
Under those negotiated terms, businesses and residents should simply surrender and refuse being held hostage. At least they wouldn’t advance the false premise city law grants ANCs the ability to superimpose blanket “policies” on permissible activities at dining and drinking establishments.
Better that one neighborhood suffer a self-inflicted demise than bring harm to others.
Mr. Lee was recently named the Executive Director of the DC Nightlife Hospitality Association an organization founded “by owners and operators of local bars, restaurants, nightclubs and entertainment associates. ” As reported in the Blade on 10/31/15, Mr. Lee was engaged to represent the interests of the alcohol-licensed business compromising the “city’s vibrant and growing” night-time community.” Whether you agree or disagree with the point of view Mr. Lee’s has expressed here, the fact that he is a paid spokesperson for DCNHA should have been clearly stated in his bio. He may be a “community business advocate” but that clearly was not the genesis of this op-ed.
But Mr. Starrels is a mortgage broker. If M Street businesses fail so more of those buildings are converted to condos, he will profit.
The point is that the author of this opinion piece did not disclose the fact that he is part an organization which supports the ideas he’s promoting in his opinion piece. If Mr. Starrels were
