-Hello and welcome to your

-Tuesday edition of Prynhawn Da.

-We'll be chatting to Mair Rees and

-Ann Lloyd-Biston shortly.

-Mair has set herself a challenge and

-we can't wait to find out more.

-This is what else you can expect

-to see on today's programme.

-St Dwynwen's Day is a big

-day for lovers in Wales...

-..and Lowri has gift ideas for us.

-Cervical cancer can be prevented,

-but many women refuse the screening.

-Dr Llinos tell us more about

-Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

-Six artists are competing

-for the Artes Mundi prize.

-We'll be taking a look at the

-exhibition of competitors.

-We also take a look at the

-latest magazine articles...

-..including the story about

-Iolo ap Dafydd in Turkey.

-Dyfrig Morgan, who worked for the

-Urdd in Merthyr...

-..will be sharing his most prized

-possessions with us.

-Make sure you stay with us.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-The New Year encourages many

-to set themselves a challenge.

-Our first guest, Mair Rees...

-..has decided to lose 100 lbs by

-Christmas to raise money for Syria.

-The nurse, Ann Lloyd-Biston

-has also joined us on the sofa...

-..and she'll be helping Mair over

-the coming year.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-This is an important challenge

-for an equally important reason.

-I've struggled throughout my life

-to lose weight.

-I've tried many times.

-In the short term,

-I've been successful...

-..but it can be difficult

-to keep focus.

-I thought that if I raised money

-for a charity at the same time...

-..it would encourage me to lose

-more.

-100 lbs is a lot of weight.

-I wanted to do it within a year.

-I want to concentrate on it.

-I have a friend to help me.

-It is seven stone.

-I will be encouraging Mair.

-We've supported each other over the

-years.

-I'll be there for her.

-I'll never ask her

-how much she's lost.

-We'll have to have a treat

-every now and again.

-I want to help Mair.

-I will be her support.

-It's good to have a friend.

-It will be good to know that someone

-is on the other end of the phone...

-..to help me.

-We met in school at the age of 11.

-We know each other's weaknesses.

-What is your weakness?

-I go over the top.

-I lose the mind-set to carry on.

-There's always some celebration.

-Rather than returning to the diet,

-I leave it for a few weeks...

-..which means I gain more weight.

-I need to concentrate

-on the task in hand.

-You have a great logo.

-We've created mugs to raise more

-money.

-We make the mugs.

-I wanted to raise money for Syria...

-..after seeing the horrific images.

-There is something I can do to help.

-People are dying from famine.

-I want people to sponsor me

-and fund me.

-You can donate on

-our Just Giving page.

-You can visit our Facebook page,

-search for Cant Bant Dros Syria.

-Some people are going

-to contribute every month...

-..by giving a small amount every

-month for how much weight I lose.

-There's also

-www.handinhandforsyria.org.uk

-All of the money will go to

-the Hand in Hand in Syria charity.

-The support goes straight to the

-people.

-You have started well.

-I weighed last week and I had

-already lost 7 lbs.

-I will also be weighing tonight.

-Do you exercise too?

-I love swimming.

-I had a ear problem and I couldn't

-swim for a while...

-..but I was given the all clear to

-do it on Monday.

-You are from Newport.

-The people of Newport have been

-very supportive.

-The locals think this is an

-interesting idea.

-I will come back and tell you have

-I've done.

-Next, Lowri has ideas for romantic

-St Dwynwen's Day gifts.

-We have a wide variety of gift

-ideas for St Dwynwen's Day.

-St Dwynwen's Day

-is on the 25 January.

-stores.

-We begin with items from Adra.

-Adra is a company situated

-in Caernarfon.

-This would be a wonderful gift.

-over St Dwynwen's Day.

-We also have sweets.

-The Caru Ti sweets are 4.95.

-There's also a bath bomb.

-If it doesn't sound appealing,

-you could buy the sweets.

-Carmarthen.

-The small Caru Ti image is 17.

-This is a different frame.

-This is handmade.

-It would look great on the wall...

-..and won't take too much room up.

-There's a lot of chocolate at Dots.

-These are made in Devil's Bridge.

-This isn't a traditional St

-Dwynwen's Day gift...

-..but I think it looks great.

-Next, we have Cwt-Tatws

-from Tywyn, Conwy.

-They have an online store

-at www.cwt-tatws.co.uk

-I've concentrated on the collection

-of jewellery.

-Cwt-Tatws have a variety of rings

-priced between 26.95 to 49.95.

-These are wonderful.

-They are very striking and special

-gifts.

-I think anyone would be happy

-to receive these.

-It's 14.95 for the Tara bracelet.

-This is a simple gift.

-There are no excuses!

-There is no excuse not to buy

-anything.

-The Cariad frame is 50.

-The silver love spoon

-is stamped with Caru Ti.

-I like the bath bomb.

-Some of these items will go into

-a St Dwynwen's Day hamper...

-Thank you, Lowri.

-After the break, Dr Llinos will be

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Many of you have been contacting us

-about next photography competition.

-Next week, we'll be launching our

-winter photography competition.

-Last winter, we received hundreds

-of fantastic photographs.

-We can't wait to receive your

-entries once again this year.

-During our lifetime, one in every

-135 women will have cervical cancer.

-Dr Llinos is here to tell us...

-..why it's important for women

-to be screened.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-I thought everyone knew about

-screening.

-Many women don't go for screening.

-It's so important.

-The test isn't the most comfortable

-of things.

-It takes only five minutes.

-There are many reasons why women

-don't come for the test.

-It's very effective.

-The test is uncomfortable and they

-don't want to go through it.

-This test is very accurate.

-It realizes what cells

-can cause cancer...

-..before the cancer has developed.

-We know that 3,000 women are

-diagnosed with cervical cancer.

-Most of the women haven't been

-for screening tests.

-Jade Goody suffered from the

-disease.

-We've seen the effect that it had on

-Jade Goody.

-She died in 2009.

-She did a lot of work to encourage

-people to go for the tests.

-Things change and people

-forget the message.

-This is reflected in the number of

-those affected with it.

-We are lucky that a screening

-programme exists.

-We don't realize how lucky we are to

-have the tests.

-We know that 3,000 women

-are diagnosed every year...

-..but the tests help 4,000 people to

-be diagnosed before.

-Are there symptoms?

-There are no early symptoms.

-If you develop symptoms...

-..it will be bleeding after sex or

-in between periods.

-Go to see your doctor.

-These symptoms are usually connected

-with other conditions.

-Jade Goody did admit that she didn't

-have cervical cancer screenings.

-Young women should be aware

-that it can happen to everyone.

-People think it would never happen

-to them.

-women between 30 and 45.

-Women of all ages should make sure

-that they go for the screening.

-Is it genetic?

-It doesn't run in the family.

-It is usually connected

-with the HPV virus.

-This specific virus

-is passed on through sex.

-Young girls are given a

-vaccination...

-..to reduce the risk of getting

-cervical cancer when older.

-This is awareness month.

-The important message

-is to go for the screening...

-..when you receive the letter.

-It's only five minutes every three

-years.

-We see the development of those who

-don't go for the screening...

-..and those who end up suffering

-from the condition.

-This 5 minute test could save your

-life.

-The National Museum and Chapter

-Arts Centre are currently...

-..exhibiting work by the six artists

-competing for the Artes Mundi prize.

-We'll take a look after the break.

-Catrin Reynolds will be taking

-a look at magazine articles...

-..including the Grazia story about

-the expense of bridesmaid duties.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Mari Grug from the Heno team

-has joined us in the studio.

-What can we expect

-from tonight's Heno, Mari?

-Join me for another edition of Heno

-at 7.00pm.

-Tara Bethan will be in to talk about

-the new series, Darren Drws Nesaf.

-It's a family drama on S4C.

-Tara is also a yoga teacher now.

-Rhodri Davies has been to look

-at Anthony Evans' new exhibition.

-Gerallt is with Rhys Mwyn.

-Elin is live in Caernarfon

-with some talented singers.

-He will be on Let it Shine.

-The Heno cameras have a scoop!

-The Artes Mundi prize is the biggest

-arts prize in Britain worth 40,000.

-Work by the six

-shortlisted artists...

-..can be seen at the National Museum

-and at Chapter Arts Centre.

-Angharad Pearce Jones

-has been to take a look.

-'Artes Mundi' translates

-as Arts of the World.

-..who widen our understanding

-of the human condition.

-I'm immediately drawn to the work of

-the French Algerian, Neil Beloufa...

-..because of the steel

-and interesting structures.

-Films are played

-onto these structure.

-He is a playful artist who has used

-friends to portray world leaders.

-They discuss the world's problems

-and offer some solutions.

-Amy Franceschini,

-originally from the USA...

-..works with groups of people,

-in this case with future farmers.

-The project has already happened.

-The art is in the social activities

-that these groups have done.

-It challenges the world's

-food and transport systems.

-For Artes Mundi...

-..she has mapped a special journey

-from Oslo to Istanbul.

-John Akomfrah is a notable film

-maker with over 30 years experience.

-The quality of the film

-is testament to this fact.

-By using actors in period costume...

-..he considers the historical and

-contemporary reasons for migration.

-I am used to seeing the work of

-the Welsh artist, Bedwyr Williams.

-There's a lot of humour in his work.

-In his Artes Mundi work,

-I see a lot of black humour...

-..especially as it's based

-in the Cadair Idris area...

-..near to my home in Bala.

-He has put a mega city...

-..right near Cadair Idris without

-thought for the environment.

-Over the film, Bedwyr's voice tells

-the story of the city dwellers.

-No matter how impersonal the

-buildings are that we build...

-..people's stories

-still penetrate through them.

-Bedwyr Williams cites the work of

-artists who've painted Cadair Idris.

-The way the film uses modern digital

-techniques to make it super-real...

-..refers to the early technique

-of painting straight on to film...

-..to enrich the background.

-Lamia Joreige

-is an artist from Beirut.

-The piece that caught my eye

-is this concrete cast of a hole...

-..from a famous mosaic

-that had been bombed.

-In the main gallery at Chapter...

-..is the work of the Angolan-born

-Portuguese artist, Nastio Mosquito.

-His series of work

-challenges the viewer...

-..and questions

-the different ways...

-..we are influenced by powerful

-institutions and individuals.

-The first room is completely empty

-which makes you a feel uneasy.

-I think the artist is asking us

-to consider where the art is...

-..are we, ourselves, the art?

-Who knows?

-I'm not sure if I'm

-allowed into the second room...

-..but I think it's another trick

-by the artist.

-It's to challenge us as individuals

-to see how far we will go...

-..if we see a closed-off room.

-Are we the type of person

-to break or to follow the rules.

-In the third room, there is a

-parachute with some empty boxes.

-Inside the boxes, there are smaller

-boxes of suppositories.

-This work alludes to the way we air

-drop aid to desperate communities.

-Maybe that aid isn't always as

-useful as we would like to think.

-In the final room, there are beer

-bottle, some full and some empty.

-It's an invitation.

-On a small monitor in the corner of

-the room, a film of the artist...

-..pretending to be a despotic leader

-of an imaginary country.

-He loves his won voice.

-The film was made before

-the 2016 election in the USA...

-..but you can't help thinking

-about Donald Trump.

-Time for a beer, I think!

-Artes Mundi 7 ends

-at the end of February...

-..and the winner

-will be awarded 40,000.

-This makes Artes Mundi,

-devised in Wales...

-..one of the most notable art

-competitions in the world.

-The winner of the prize

-will be announced on 26 January.

-It's time now to take a look

-at some magazines.

-Catrin Reynolds is here to guide us.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Where do we begin?

-The first article

-is from O'r Pedwar Gwynt.

-Journalist Iolo ap Dafydd

-tells us about his life in Turkey.

-Iolo, from Cardiff, works with

-the TRT World TV channel in Turkey.

-He was on the Heno sofa last week.

-He talks about the problems

-in Turkey.

-So much has happened in Turkey

-over the past 15 years.

-Turkey constantly has to deal

-with terrorist attacks.

-There was a military coup

-on 15 July, 2015.

-We also get an idea

-of normal life there.

-He talks about the buildings too.

-As a journalist, he is always

-looking for stories.

-He describes the importance

-of drinking tea with friends.

-The staff love their food!

-You measure a Turk

-by the size of his belly!

-The Turks like the Welsh too.

-There are many characters there.

-His chat on Heno was very

-interesting.

-We only see the terrible things

-on the news.

-the final article is from Grazia.

-The next article is from Grazia.

-It's titled The Bridesmaid

-Conundrum.

-Being a bridesmaid often feels

-like a curse, not an honour.

-Google 'bridesmaid' and you get the

-two words, 'hell' and 'expensive'!

-An American survey showed

-that bridesmaids spent 1,066.

-I was a bridesmaid a few weeks ago.

-It wasn't that bad.

-There is a lot of pressure

-on bridesmaids.

-There are numerous hen nights

-to organize.

-Bridesmaids are under pressure to

-lose weight before the big day.

-Google 'bridesmaid' and you get the

-two words, 'hell' and 'expensive'!

-Don't put pressure on your

-bridesmaids.

-It can be very stressful.

-Maybe the tradition of being a

-bridesmaid has gone a bit too far.

-The next article is from Golwg.

-It is written by the scientist,

-Bethan Lloyd Lewis.

-She is originally from Dihewyd in

-Ceredigion.

-She is about to move to Paris to

-work on breast cancer research...

-..at the Institut Curie.

-Bethan is driven by the need

-to help others.

-Bethan believes we need more female

-role models in the world of science.

-Only 20% of scientists are women.

-I was in the cinema yesterday.

-Hidden Figures is a new film

-released in February.

-It follows three women who helped

-NASA with mathematical research.

-I saw a trailer for that film.

-Bethan has an interesting story.

-These issues should be talked about.

-Golwg has a new article.

-Golwg has a new fashion item.

-The first is with Gwyneth Glyn.

-After the break, Dyfrig Morgan, who

-worked with the Urdd in Merthyr...

-..will be sharing some

-of his prized possessions with us.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to the final part

-of the programme.

-Here to share some of his prized

-passions is Dyfrig Morgan.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You're originally from

-the Gwendraeth Valley...

-..but spent most of your life

-working with the Urdd in Merthyr.

-Let's take a look

-at your prized possessions.

-My first object is the 1922

-Ffynonhenry Eisteddfod Chair.

-It is from the home where I

-was raised at Cilgwyn, Tumble.

-I am from the Gwendraeth Valley.

-It is from the home where I

-was raised at Cilgwyn, Tumble.

-It reminded me of the chair.

-My grandfather won the chair

-95 years ago.

-He was a miner.

-He won a lot of chairs.

-The chair is wonderful.

-It's almost 100 years old.

-I was given a cultured upbringing

-in the Gwendraeth Valley.

-Chairs were given for many things.

-My other grandfather

-recited stories.

-In those days, a tent was opposite

-our house for the Eisteddfod.

-Our house had the prelims

-in the front room.

-The Tumble Eisteddfod continues.

-It must be great for you to have so

-many Eisteddfod Chairs.

-He won over 20 chairs.

-It is one of a dozen or so

-that he won.

-He did have seven children.

-I'm not sure how many

-chairs survive.

-Where do you keep it?

-I keep the chair in my study.

-I sit on this chair.

-The second object is a plate from

-the 1987 Eisteddfod in Merthyr.

-I have lived in Merthyr Tydfil

-for 39 years.

-It was very exciting to organize

-the Eisteddfod in 1987.

-I then became one of the founders of

-the Welsh Centre in Merthyr in 1990.

-It now has a busy theatre too.

-It is the Soar Theatre.

-At press conferences at the

-Eisteddfod, we found the man...

-..on the plate.

-His father was a drunk.

-He didn't think much

-of the lad's prize.

-His parents argued later on.

-The metal piece was a Sovereign.

-His father had stolen it.

-He didn't know what it was.

-I've been associated with Ysgol

-Gymraeg Santes Tudful for 39 years.

-I got married and raised a family

-in Merthyr.

-I have been a teacher,

-governor and chair of the board.

-It's the biggest and best school

-in the county.

-The plate represents my time

-in Merthyr.

-My third object is a picture of

-Carreg Bica on Llangrannog beach.

-We all know this picture.

-I lived in London for a while.

-The staff gave me this plate.

-I was an Urdd staff member

-for 25 years.

-The centre in Llangrannog

-is very close to my heart.

-As are all the staff and

-Urdd volunteers across Wales.

-I worked with the Urdd for 25 years.

-We are nearing the 100th anniversary

-of the Urdd.

-Llangrannog is a great place.

-I was there on New Year's Day.

-It's a magical place.

-You can't measure the worth

-of a place like this.

-Politicians want to know what

-everything is worth.

-You can't measure everything

-in that way.

-There are so many cuts.

-These places still survive.

-Until 2.00pm tomorrow, goodbye.
