Kris Meeke in action during the Rali Serras de Fafe, Felgueiras, Boticas e Cabeceiras de Basto
A patched-up Kris Meeke overcame changeable weather and evolving stages to begin the defence of this Portuguese Rally Championship title in convincing fashion with Stuart Loudon.
Four weeks after undergoing surgery to fix a damaged Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) sustained in a flat track moto accident, Meeke was back behind the wheel winning again.
His involvement in Rali Serras de Fafe, Felgueiras, Boticas e Cabeceiras de Basto was made possible with a leg brace specially constructed for him from carbon and titanium.
On his competitive debut in Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Yaris Rally2 as part of the Sports & You team, the 45-year-old romped to a 32.2-second victory from the Hyundai i20 N Rally2 of Dani Sordo – the man who stepped in to fill the seat he vacated at Team Hyundai Portugal.
Meeke’s main threat early on came from Martins Sesks, with the Latvian briefly moving to the top of the event’s timesheets only to see his victory hopes slip away when his M-Sport Ford Fiesta Rally2 car had to be parked up with power steering failure.
“It was a crazy rally,” said Meeke. “The weather was unbelievable and the last two stages, I mean, woah, I do not think I have ever driven in such muddy and slippery conditions.
“It was not helped by the fact that the tyre we use, it does not have such an open tread pattern in terms of some of the other tyres the guys are using, but it was still a good weekend.
“I am so happy with the car – Toyota Gazoo Racing have really designed a special chassis, I am happy to be able to take the wheel of it and the work of Stuart Loudon.”
Kris Meeke is pleased with a strong start to his Portuguese Rally Championship title defence
Kris Meeke gets to grips on his competitive debut with Toyota Gazoo Racing’s Yaris Rally2
Closer to home, Aaron McLaughlin produced an equally convincing performance to end his long wait for a first win in the Northern Ireland Rally Championship on Saturday.
McLaughlin, with Darren Curran on the notes, took the spoils at Bishopscourt aboard his ageing Volkswagen Polo GTI R5 by nearly 16 seconds from former champions and Ford Fiesta Rally2 exponents Stuart Biggerstaff in second and Derek McGarrity in third.
Title holder Jonny Greer, meanwhile, crashed on his Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 debut and is a doubt for the West Cork Rally – the First Round of the Irish Tarmac Championship.
“We have been the bridesmaid for four years at this event, so we are delighted to take our first win in the Northern Ireland Rally Championship,” said McLaughlin.
“The result leaves us in a good position for the next few rounds of the Championship, so fingers crossed.”

This article is part of the Research TopicNanocellulose: A Multipurpose Advanced Functional MaterialView all 21 articles
There is an emerging environmental awareness and social concern regarding the environmental impact of the textile industry
highlighting the growing need for developing green and sustainable approaches throughout this industry’s supply chain
due to population growth and the rise in consumption of textile fibers
new sustainable raw materials and processes must be found
Cellulose presents unique structural features
being the most important and available renewable resource for textiles
The physical and chemical modification reactions yielding fibers are of high commercial importance today
Recently developed technologies allow the production of filaments with the strongest tensile performance without dissolution or any other harmful and complex chemical processes
Fibers without solvents are thus on the verge of commercialization
the technologies for the production of cellulose-based textiles
their surface modification and the recent trends on sustainable cellulose sources
The life cycle assessment of several cellulose fiber production methods is also discussed
The bio-based production of chemicals and microbial technology can also play a major role in this transition toward the future bioeconomy (Choi and Shin, 2020). Various microorganisms already play fundamental roles in our daily life and, if used intelligently, some significant problems associated with the production of green materials can be solved. Indeed, the vast diversity of microorganisms provides huge applications opportunities (Akinsemolu, 2018)
The scientific research is still poor comparatively to what these bio-based knowledge areas can offer
In this review we also analyze the opportunities and challenges of using nanocelluloses
as sources of the most noble natural raw material for the textile industry
Production methods used in the textile industry are discussed
as well as novel processes using Ionic Liquids and solvent-free fibers
the sustainability of textile fibers and their life cycle assessment (LCA) are analyzed
Figure 1. Classification of main natural and man-made fibers [adapted from Murthy (2016), Sinclair (2015)]
In recent years, several nanocelluloses (NC), from microbial and plant sources, have been tested as a source of textile fibers. The interest in NCs is essentially focused on taking advantage of their higher crystallinity, since they promote great mechanical resistance (Nunes, 2014). NC is not a single material type but rather a family of materials with very distinct features, mostly due to different sources and preparation methods (Clemons, 2016)
BNC membrane before (A) and after (B) purification
the most used industrial methods for dissolving cellulose pulp are the Viscose
Regenerated cellulose fibers are being used in the most diverse materials, from sportswear to health care textiles, alone or combined with other natural or synthetic fibers, thanks to their characteristic properties as tensile strength and smoothness (Karthik and Rathinamoorthy, 2017)
The Viscose process is the world’s most widely used method for producing RCF. The first patent on the Viscose method was granted to Cross and Bevan in 1893. Over the past 100 years, this process underwent many alterations, although the basic chemistry is still the same, which allowed Viscose to become one of the most widely used regenerated fibers (Wilkes, 2001; Thakur et al., 2017)
Figure 4. Mechanism of Viscose fiber production [addapted from McKeen (2017), Rodgers and Waddell (2013)]
Figure 5. Schematics of Viscose fiber production [addapted from Alagirusamy and Das (2015), Sayyed et al. (2019)]
Despite being made from wood, the fiber production by Viscose process is known to cause significant environmental problems due to the high usage of chemicals, such as sodium hydroxide, producing sodium sulfate as a by-product. The life cycle of the Viscose process encompasses other impacts, associated to how reagents are produced and recycled, as well as the consumption of energy, the use of fossil fuel and deforestation (Shen et al., 2010)
Recently, the company Nanollose announced the development of a Viscose making process using BNC. This method transforms BNC into NullarborTM Tree-Free Viscose fibers using manufacturing equipment compatible with those currently used by the industry (Jinzarli et al., 2019; Nanollose, 2020)
N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, commonly known as NMMO, is the most used of all non-derivatizing cellulose solvents, due to its capacity to directly dissolve high concentrations of cellulose, while preserving the chemical properties of the polymer. The possibility of recycling up to 99.7% of the solvent, makes the process economically viable and more environmentally friendly (White, 2001; Olsson and Westman, 2013)
Figure 6. N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide–cellulose dissolution mechanism: Reprinted with permission from Pinkert et al. (2010)
Copyright (2010) American Chemical Society
Since NMMO is thermally unstable, the dissolution of cellulose in NMMO at high temperatures is accomplished in well-controlled environment. NMMO degrades at temperatures higher than 120°C. Due to its reactivity, stabilizers should be added at the start of the dissolution process, most commonly propyl gallate (Rosenau et al., 2002)
Figure 7. Schematic phase diagram of the cellulose–MMO–H2O system: (line CBA) variation in the composition of the system during cellulose dissolution via the traditional MMO process; (closed circles) composition of the system during cellulose dissolution via the solid-phase MMO process; (I) MMO monohydrate and (II) MMO 2.5-hydrate (Golova et al., 2013)

Mechanical properties of different cellulose nanofiber filaments
The specific strength of this CNF fibers also exceeds that of metals
Figure 11. Schematic of double flow-focusing channel used for CNF assembly (Mittal et al., 2018)
The rapid population growth and careless consumption of natural resources are causing serious global problems, such as air and water pollution and global warming. Fossil fuels exceeds 50% of the word’s total energy sources and based on present water consumption, water resources are likely to decrease by 30% in 2050 (Kazan et al., 2020)
the environmental problems caused by humankind are reaching dangerous levels
being the search and adoption of more environmentally sustainable processes a mandatory paradigm change
Figure 12. The business involved in the textile and clothing supply chain [adapted from Choudhury (2014)]
Although the entire process of textile production generates hazardous wastes, in this review we focus only on raw materials and fibers production. A cradle-to-gate LCA study, shown in Table 3, makes possible to evaluate the environmental impact of different fiber production processes (Dibdiakova and Timmermann, 2014)
the same framework must be used for all stages of the life-cycle of a commercial product
or service (this means using the same criteria for a life cycle inventory of the required resources (energy and materials) across the value chain and determining the corresponding emissions to the environment)
Data here collected was obtained from different sources and therefore a direct comparison of the impact categories is not straightforward
LCA cradle-to-gate of different impact categories per 1000 kg of fiber (functional unit) produced under different methods
Regarding the processing stage, the Viscose process has different environmental impacts depending on where it is produced (Shen et al., 2010)
The problems with these fibers are the chemicals used in the regeneration process and the need for large plantation areas for wood production
These plantation areas need to have a sustainable managing system
Several types of fibers have been produced to fulfill people’s needs and demands
these fibers have environmental implications associated to raw material processing and transport
the most environmentally friendly cellulose fibers on the market are produced by the Lyocell process
Current trends include the development of filaments without using solvents
the development of new solvents and new sources of fibers
This presents a superior outlook in terms of sustainability
the large scale production of this biotech cellulose is still to be demonstrated
Further research is still needed to scale up its production as their production cost
Man-made cellulosic fibers are here to stay
they assume an important role in the textile industry
Along the history its commercialization faced one major problem: the price
These fibers are more expensive than cotton
and the increasing economic power in some underdeveloped economies are putting a tremendous pressure under some industries
especially those producing essential goods
To allow an increase in textile production
presenting some major problems on recyclability
row material availability in the future and microplastics pollution
MMCF will have a very important role in the response of this need
the MMCF will evolve along the entire value chain to minimize its environmental foot print
improving production methods and raw materials supply
The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest

has spent the past half-century on the island
teaching and running the diocesan seminary in Dili
A 100-year-old Portuguese Jesuit priest who has spent more than half his life working in East Timor has been awarded the country’s highest honour
was one of several people to be awarded the Order of Timor-Leste by President Francisco Guterres on Wednesday
Timor-Leste is East Timor’s official Portuguese name
is aimed at honouring individuals “who in their professional
social activity or even in a spontaneous act of heroic or altruism
have contributed significantly for the benefit of Timor-Leste
and grand collar which is exclusively reserved for heads of state
who received an award in the insignia category in 2016
this time was awarded the higher collar-grade prize
President Guterres said Father Felgueiras was being recognised for making important contributions to society and the development of East Timor
to become vice-chancellor of the diocesan seminary in Dili
He also taught Portuguese at St Joseph High School in Dili
where many of East Timor’s future leaders were educated
After Portugal’s withdrawal and Indonesia’s invasion in late 1975
but was reportedly kept under surveillance by the Indonesian authorities
he and Pastor José Alves Martin – who died in March – published a book on political events in East Timor since 1975
In a recent interview with Portuguese newswire Lusa
he said he was still enjoying life in East Timor very much
he said: “I didn’t do anything to be 100 years old
I just do what other people do and I live as long as God gives me
I came here as a missionary to work as long as the Society of Jesus wanted and that is how it is now.”
a paint specialist has lovingly restored his Georgian house in Whitechapel
The basement table of Pedro da Costa Felgueiras’s east London home looks like a still-life painting
A glistening triangle of membrillo on a wooden board
two enamel mugs and a silver teapot sit atop a utilitarian cloth
The only concession to modernity is Felgueiras’s laptop (he’s studying an online course in agriculture)
The table itself is 18th-century and was found in the basement when he bought the house 12 years ago
I was steeped in this aesthetic from an early age and it stuck with meFelgueiras refills the teapot with water from a stove-top kettle and pours us both a cup of fermented chai from his favourite tea emporium in Lisbon
I was surrounded by historic buildings,” he recalls
baroque building in the main square; the school I went to had this ancient stone staircase and courtyards; even my local church was an old palace
I was steeped in this aesthetic from an early age and it stuck with me.”
Felgueiras is an expert in Oriental and European lacquer and historic paint techniques. He studied interior design and art history in Portugal before moving to London at the age of 19 to study the conservation of decorative surfaces. His mentor, Margaret Ballardie
encouraged his interest in historic paint and together
they began to research and recreate historic recipes using alchemical ingredients

including the reinstatement of 80 missing dragons that originally adorned the roofs of the Great Pagoda at Kew Gardens; the restoration of all the decorative schemes of Horace Walpole’s summer villa
Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham; and artists Gilbert and George’s residence in Spitalfields
His work in Spitalfields brought Felgueiras to the attention of Tim Whittaker
Whittaker had saved 10 houses on Varden Street from the wrecking ball and was acting as an estate agent on behalf of the London Development Agency
who was initially underwhelmed by the dilapidated
four-storey building being offered for sale
Felgueiras began to recreate its interior with cast-iron fireplaces found on eBay
cobblestones salvaged from building sites and floorboards from reclamation yards
View image in fullscreenBrown study: an old chest of drawers in the kitchen
Photograph: Elena Heatherwick/The Observer“What I’m doing isn’t special,” says Felgueiras
“You can bring old houses to the 21st century – you just have to think about things.” He shows me the fridge
There’s also underfloor heating beneath the flagstones in the basement kitchen
which he dug out to increase the ceiling height
The kitchen/dining room leads to a secluded courtyard garden
Twelve years ago this was a patch of tarmac: today it boasts a topiary peacock and espaliered apple trees
bright green leaves spreads through the cracks in the paving stones
he remarked upon the structural stability of what he thought was a 200-year-old potting shed
unable to believe it had only recently been built
the Varden Street house is a testing ground for his work on historic interiors
royal blue is set against murky green woodwork
pale lilac is paired with woodwork painted in warm stone
the red oxide used on the window frames of his potting shed remains as rich as the day it was painted

Photograph: Elena Heatherwick/The ObserverWhile the colours in his home are rooted in English history
Felgueiras has “let himself be more Portuguese” with the decorative items
A menagerie of ceramic animal heads line the walls of his back porch and in the reception room
two Portuguese ceramic monkeys hang out under a glass vitrine watched over by a row of photographs of “19th-century men with beards”
The rooms also contain Felgueiras’s own furniture
including lacquered side tables and mirrors that combine Georgian shapes with modernist patterns
four-poster beds and bedroom chairs are also his own designs
Having spent years creating the interiors of Varden Street
to a farm with 80 hectares that he plans to run as a rural retreat
The land is gradually being cleared of eucalyptus and replanted with cork and fruit trees
the project won’t really happen in my lifetime,” he says
“It will take 135 years to develop fully.” He doesn’t seem to mind that
Pedro Da Costa Felgueiras creates forgotten hues prevalent throughout the 18th century
for example – a pigment the colour of dried blood
it is made from a common iron oxide known as hermaitie
it is believed to have been derived from ground-up mummies
Felgueiras sources his pigments from Europe and South America
One – blue verditer – is made by ‘an eccentric gentleman’ in Nottingham
who arduously stirs batches of copper carbonate before burying them in the ground to fix the colour
The pigments are ground by hand using a pestle
They are then mixed with linseed oil if they are being applied to timber or
they are mixed into a traditional rabbit-skin glue distemper
View image in fullscreenOff the charts: vibrant red paint by Pedro Da Costa Felgueiras
Photograph: Terry Mapstone/AlamyFelgueiras describes some historic pigments as ‘fugitive’ – their colour can alter over time
the blue I used on the timber of my staircase changed rapidly because I used indigo blue,’ he explains
Felgueiras remains resolutely uninterested in ‘endless’ colour charts
‘Colour isn’t the same as pigment,’ he says
‘Colour is something you can get from any paint shop
If you’re talking about historical colours
because you are limited by the pigments and the technology that was available at the time.’ Experimenting within those limitations is what defines his mercurial craft
‘I love the fact that mixing up those pigments is quite hard work,’ he says

AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function
but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style
In a small house at the foot of the hill an old woman crumbles a piece of bread with her fingers
brings it to the lips of the girl sitting on her lap
rests her head on her grandmother’s chest and asks for a larger piece
The house with a tiled facade is one of many
as if drawn by a pencil amid the sun-drenched hills in northern Portugal
The name of the bread: Pão de Ló de Margaride
the tradition of Pão de Ló has been kept through family customs
everyday moments that are stored in memory
Made with three basic ingredients – eggs
flour and sugar – Pão de Ló de Margarine has a history that dates back to the 18th century when a woman named Clara María finds the ideal combination and makes what would become the now famous Pão de Ló
“This bread immediately gained notoriety because it could last for up to two or three weeks without expiring,” explains Cláudio Ferreira
general director of the Felgueiras Business Association
“It is believed that Clara María was inspired by a recipe she heard of in a convent.”
The house where Clara María lived can be found in Margaride
one of the freguesías or neighborhoods of the municipality of Felgueiras
also the seat of the town hall or cámara do concelho
The center of Margaride has many trees and cobbled streets; bakeries fill the air with the sweet aroma from their ovens
Clara María made sure that her legacy continued through her employees
It was the latter who pushed the production of Pão de Ló to even higher levels
As a result of the fifty years of Leonor Rosa’s unrelenting efforts
the Pão de Ló de Margaride goes beyond Felgueiras and extends throughout the country
a letter with the shields of the Dukes of Braganza and signed by the count of São Mamede gives Leonor Rosa’s bakery the title of Royal Supplier
this factory was inaugurated,” explains Guilherme Lickfold
and descendant of Leonor Rosa da Silva’s third husband
The building is located in the Republic Square
“In these two ovens the loaves are placed for more or less 45 minutes
although there may be larger.” The baking time can vary depending on the size of the bread and the consistency desired
One of the fundamental elements of the Pão de Ló de Margaride is the use of fresh eggs
only fresh eggs are used,” explains Cláudio Ferreira
“There is Pão de Ló in other areas of Portugal but the tradition is not the same
the Felgueiras Business Association has begun the process to obtain Protected Geographical Identification (PGI)
In addition to ensuring the quality of the production methods of the Pão de Ló
this identification would allow producers to have greater reach and visibility internationally
they know it is a quality product,” says Cláudio Ferreira
“The customer immediately knows that it is a real Pão de Ló de Margaride.”
One of the challenges for the export of the Pão de Ló is the time needed for transport and distribution
Another objective of the PGI certification would be the possibility to submit the breads to an ultra-freezing process
which would extend the life of the product for up to two months
The investment required to obtain the PGI amounts to 240,000 euros
At the top of one of the hills in Margaride stands the parish of Santa Quitéria where every June 29th
Women dressed in traditional costumes carry baskets full of flowers on their heads
advance in procession singing and dancing in honor of the saint who was
beheaded in the second century for having maintained their faith
the parish of Santa Quitéria celebrated its 300th anniversary
smoking a cigarette; women stand under the shade of ash trees chatting and fanning their faces
as well as stands with kiwis and asparagus
all of them an important part of the economy in the region
Children walk hand in hand with their parents eating cavacas: cookies made with the same dough as Pão de Ló
try the cavaquinhas da serra,” explains José Mario Sousa
“The sweet taste of Pão de Ló combines very well with the salty taste of sheep cheese.” Founded in 1974 by José Mario’s mother
the factory has been characterized by its creative and innovative spirit in transforming traditional products to offer new and different flavors
This innovative attitude has already been recognized on several occasions
including the prize for the best Abade de Priscos pudding in 2014
“In 2014 my mother won in the category for companies
And that was really the takeoff for our family business
Now many more people know about Casa Rosa Sousa.”
In the Rosa Sousa store you can find four different flavors of pudding(coffee
Pão de Ló de Margaride with chocolate flavor
Both the Cavacas and the Pão de Ló de Margaride are finalists for the contest of the Seven Wonders of the Sweets of Portugal
The five bakeries that produce the Pão de Ló de Margaride are:

Moreirense had qualified to the fourth round after defeating Canelas 2010 3-1 in the third round of the Cup last month
Felgueiras unluckily missed a chance early on
Rúben Lima raised a corner and keeper Goba turned the ball into the bottom of his goal
Felgueiras were going into the match playing defensively
and this goal began to dismantle the strategy of Felgueiras and catapult Moreirense
The hosts then doubled their lead as Arsenio Nunes scored from a pass from Rúben Lima
They then killed the game just before halftime when Neto made it 3-0
He collected an attempted clearance from Vítor Pinto following a cross from Zizo inside the box and netted his side’s third goal
Felgueiras scored a consolation goal in the 79th minute when Toze lost the ball in his own box
Frederic Maciel scored eight minutes from time before Ricardo reduced the deficit again from the spot in the 90th minute
completed his brace with a last-gasp goal to secure a 5-2 victory for his side
Moreirense advance to the round of 16 the Taca de Portugal
They next play Boavista on Saturday in the league

The Georgian terrace house in Whitechapel lovingly restored by Pedro da Costa Felgueiras has a colour palette like no other
having completely unique colours,” he says
pointing at the pretty yellow-ochre cupboards in the kitchen
has hand-painted every wall and panelled surface in the entire house with paint he makes using only natural pigments and linseed oil
shift and change in daylight or candlelight
He didn’t speak English or know anyone but
“It was cheap then — nobody wanted to live round here
he worked for artists Gilbert & George
He has since advised on colour at Strawberry Hill — the 18th-century home of Horace Walpole — at Kew Palace
working among the grand houses of historic Spitalfields
he realised it was time to find a home of his own
The Spitalfields Trust had just got hold of 10 derelict little houses in Whitechapel dating back to 1812
and was looking for first-time buyers to restore them
and the Trust grabbed me by the collar and said ‘you’re buying it’
There were only two original doors and a few floorboards — the rest was gone.”
but he was with a group of neighbours doing the same thing
He had always done up the places he had lived in
“Don’t make an old house grander than it really was
a steel Smeg cooker and mid-century modern lighting
Fifties furniture suits Georgian houses really well.”
four-storey house involved digging out the low basement to a normal height
This meant underpinning the entire building
low attic was replaced with a new floor and new stairs
to give a master bedroom and gorgeous en suite bathroom divided by a half-glazed wall
Da Costa Felgueiras worked with a carpenter to replace missing panelling
A full-height extension was built at the back
covered with timber lapping and painted with Da Costa Felgueiras paint
The Tarmac was dug up and replaced by a walled garden with espaliered apple and pear trees
set off by a riot of scented tobacco plants and crimson dahlias
he built a workroom with a little bathroom
With its handmade roof tiles and tall windows glazed with horticultural glass
which is a very 18th-century thing to do,” he explains
and its proud owner set about the laborious task of painting every inch of wood
he celebrated in a way the first owners would have understood — decorating with greenery
branches and ribbon-tied mistletoe; heaping dishes with quinces and other seasonal fruits; perfuming the fires with pine needles; lighting candles
glistening copper pot of winter soup for family and friends to share
This magical home didn’t come without tears
“Restoring a house is one of the most stressful things you will ever do,” Da Costa Felgueiras explains
“Don’t expect to do building work and not shed some tears
but you need that emotion and passion to do it properly
