-The severe snowfall of 1947... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-..was caused by a blocking high -over Scandinavia. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
-It led to many snow storms -in the United Kingdom and in Wales. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:51 | |

-..but he wanted to be buried -at Antioch Chapel in Crymych. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:27 | |
-The coffin was taken from Whitland -to Crymych on the Cardi Bach... | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
-..but unfortunately, and let me -quote from Ieuan Davies' book... | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-"The burial at Antioch was organized -for 1.30pm on Saturday 15 March... | 0:04:37 | 0:04:43 | |
-"..but that morning, the Creator -rebelled against the burial... | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
-"..and Crymych witnessed -the worst snow storm in history. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:56 | |
-"No burials -would take place that day." | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-We had a lot of snow in 1962 -but it was nothing compared to 1947. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:09 | |
-Everyone helped each other and -there was a real sense of comradery. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:14 | |
-As young lads, we went to Lampeter -to bring back sacks of groceries. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:22 | |

-..but they were happy to get it -no matter its condition! | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-A disaster fund was set up to help -the farmers who lost all the sheep. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:46 | |

-Charles, you lived on a farm -in Pontrhydfendigaid at the time. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:26 | |
-The snow took its grip -on rural areas. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-Yes, without a doubt. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
-We lived over mile away -from the nearest village. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:41 | |
-The road was shut for eleven nights. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-Everyone was digging out -pathways through the fields. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:51 | |
-It had a damaging affect on the -farm buildings, cattle and sheep. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-The loss was so extreme that -many farmers never got over it. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
-Lyn, you were a youngster at the -time so it must been fun for you. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-I was seven years old. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
-I would still walk a mile to school -every day. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |

-Another thing that -has remained in my memory... | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
-..is a lamb -stuck in some electric cables. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-This shows how high the snow was. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
-The dead lamb hung from the cables -long after until the end of summer. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
-I can stand here -and reminisce with you all night. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |

-..to realize they are everywhere, -and not forgetting our food! | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
-Last week, we celebrated Pie Week -but today is earmarked as Pi Day. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-Frankly speaking, we need this pi -in order to achieve this pie. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:38 | |
-Why have you brought me to -Bangor University to talk about Pi? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:54 | |
-We're at the inner courtyard -of the university. | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
-It houses a lot of things that -would not exist if it wasn't for Pi. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:06 | |
-You need Pi for anything -circular or spherical. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-What is it? | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-What is it? - -It's a way of measuring a circle. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-Pi is the ratio of the circumference -of a circle to its diameter. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:23 | |
-The circumference is about three -times the length of the diameter. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:29 | |
-Pi is 3.1415926 and so on and -so forth as it's never-ending. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:39 | |
-The Welsh can celebrate Pi Day... | 0:14:44 | 0:14:49 | |
-..as William Jones from Anglesey -devised the familiar symbol. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:57 | |
-He recognized the importance -of the number of Pi... | 0:14:57 | 0:15:03 | |
-..and that it deserved the symbol -which is the one we know today. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:10 | |
-It's the Greek letter of Pi and -he first used that symbol in 1706... | 0:15:10 | 0:15:16 | |
-..that was adopted -on the international stage. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:19 | |
-You're a fan of Pi. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
-You're a fan of Pi. - -Yes, this is my Pi tie! | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-And Pi socks. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:29 | |
-And Pi socks. - -Yes, they were a Christmas present. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
-I only wear them on Pi Day. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
-One member of the Heno team uses Pi -and relies on it. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:45 | |
-My teachers at Ysgol Dyffryn Amman -will be pulling their hair out... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
-..to see Huw Fash talking about -Maths as I failed it four times! | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
-These days, I use the Pi Theorem -when making one of these skirts. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:02 | |
-This is a circle skirt... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:09 | |
-..so it's narrow at the top -and all the fullness is at the base. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:15 | |
-You need a series of measurements -to make sure it sits properly. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
-Pi is a part of our daily lives and -appears in all sorts of situations. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:26 | |
-Happy Pi Day to you all! | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
-It's time for us to take a break. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
-When we return... | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |

-It started when Geraint and I -were looking for a wedding venue. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
-We couldn't find anywhere -that ticked all the boxes. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |

-We planned to live here but our -guests said it was a lovely venue. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
-It stemmed from there. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-What was the house like -when you bought it? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:22 | |
-The house itself was fine and -just needed some cosmetic work... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
-..but the tower was derelict -so needed refurbishing. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
-The courtyard was also derelict so -we did all the work to improve it. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
-We're starting to see the -finish line but it all takes time. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
-What does Geraint -think about it all? | 0:19:45 | 0:19:51 | |
-He's very excited and has put -a lot of trust in Dad and Mam. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-He's always happy when he comes back -and he wants to live here... | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |

-Where do you find the time to work -on such a massive project... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:08 | |
-..when you're away with Geraint -for a lot of the time? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:13 | |
-I'm really lucky -because Dad has taken charge. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-I come back, look at the place -and leave again... | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
-..but I do a lot of work online and -send a lot of emails when in France. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:27 | |

-All this week on Heno, we've -marked National Science Week... | 0:22:04 | 0:22:09 | |
-..by meeting and recognizing those -who have made scientific impacts. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
-Tonight, we meet Dr Llinos Harris -from Swansea University. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:17 | |
-I'm Dr Llinos Harris -and I specialize in microbiology... | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
-..but more specifically -staphylococci and implants. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:37 | |
-Staphylococci is a bacteria that -lives on the skin and in the nose... | 0:22:37 | 0:22:43 | |
-..and any other damp parts -of the body. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
-It features in the news -as it's resistant to methicillin. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
-Infections after implants -are very problematic. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
-I want to find a solution to this -issue by improving the implant... | 0:22:56 | 0:23:00 | |
-..or find new and better treatments -for the infections. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:06 | |
-The population is getting older -so implants increasing... | 0:23:06 | 0:23:11 | |
-..and many need a new hip or knee -or need a catheter. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
-Those with kidney problems -or need chemotherapy... | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
-..are also at risk of infection. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
-We're running out -of effective antibiotics... | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
-..so it's interesting -to find new treatments. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:37 | |
-It's my ambition to find a treatment -that can help people in the future. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:45 | |
-It's so vast and the solution to one -issue can cause other problems... | 0:23:45 | 0:23:53 | |
-..so it's a very interesting field. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
