-Our first guest is Fflur Lawton.

-She is the Head of Communications

-at Smart Energy GB in Wales.

-Fflur is here to discuss a new

-scheme that affects all of us.

-Tell us more about

-these new energy meters.

-Everyone in Wales and Britain will

-be offered these new metres.

-You will get a new digital smart

-meter.

-A smart meter is a new generation

-of energy metres...

-..being rolled out across the UK.

-Metres are equipped with a monitor

-to understand your energy usage.

-This can ensure more accurate

-energy bills.

-It displays how much energy you

-are consuming in pounds and pennies.

-Many of us don't know how much

-energy we are consuming.

-This metre will give you a better

-understanding.

-You don't have to have one of these

-metres installed.

-They will be offered by your energy

-supplier.

-It will help us with waste.

-It also makes us more aware of

-saving money and energy.

-You don't know how much it will cost

-you to leave a light on.

-This will be displayed on the meter.

-The information on the meters

-are fed back to the suppliers.

-There's a communications box

-on the device.

-You also mentioned getting rid of

-estimated bills.

-You won't get an estimated bill as a

-result.

-The information that is fed

-by these meters is safe.

-Only your energy usage is noted.

-No personal information is stored.

-You don't need wifi in the home.

-You don't have to have a phone

-signal in the home.

-These are great for pre-paid

-meters.

-It also displays how much

-you have left in the pot.

-Many people use tokens to pay.

-It will be a lot easier to pay via

-the phone or online.

-What response have you had?

-People are saving money by using

-these metres.

-80% people have made the effort of

-cutting down in their energy usage.

-You can save money by changing

-bulbs.

-Is it a lot of effort?

-Contact your energy supplier.

-They will come to install the

-meter.

-It will take around 2 hours to fit.

-Everything will be explained.

-You can still change suppliers.

-You won't have to change the meter

-when you change your supplier.

-You may possibly get an upgrade.

-Welcome back.

-We open the covers of our Book Club

-with the photographer Iestyn Hughes.

-His latest volume, Tywydd Mawr,

-illustrates Welsh extreme weather.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Where did the idea originate from?

-Storms that ripped through

-Aberystwyth in 2013 and 2014...

-..inspired this new book that looks

-at extreme weather throughout Wales.

-I was a student at Aberystwyth

-in the 1970s.

-I was familiar with the high tides.

-But in 2013 they were more extreme.

-I delved into archives to assess

-whether global warming...

-..was a reality in Wales.

-There's a department that

-records this extreme weather.

-It's based in Aberystwyth.

-People are welcome to send their

-memories of extreme weather.

-We are obsessed with the weather.

-It was an incredible storm.

-There are some of the photos on

-display.

-The waves were 80 feet high.

-The prom was destroyed then.

-In 1938, the prom was destroyed

-by a storm too.

-In 1859, a storm destroyed

-the Royal Charter ship.

-Many lives were lost.

-It affected the coast.

-It also affected Pembrokeshire.

-The church was pulled down due to

-the weather.

-We don't think of tsunamis in Wales.

-In 1607, there was extreme weather.

-They assumed it was a tsunami.

-Two scientists discovered this.

-We've had recent floods in wales.

-A huge wave was caused in the sea.

-We also have a photo of Bala.

-In 2013, they had double

-the amount of rain in Bala.

-The car park was under water.

-Also in Cardiff.

-This is Billy the Seal from Cardiff.

-It was saved by the a fishing boat.

-He lived in Victoria Park in

-Cardiff.

-We also have had extreme winters.

-In 1947, Wales experienced heavy

-snowfall.

-It also occurred in 1963.

-One of my discoveries was the first

-ever photograph of a snowman...

-..taken near Swansea around 1854.

-Wales experienced snowstorms

-back in 1947 and 1963.

-It was taken in Penllergaer.

-It was taken by

-a female photographer.

-Tywydd Mawr by Iestyn Hughes

-costs 14.99 from Y Lolfa press.

-Thank you for joining us.

-This week, a campaign is held

-to raise awareness of epilepsy.

-In a moment, Dr Ann

-will discuss the condition.

-First let's hear from the singer,

-Lisa Jen and her daughter, Liwsi.

-Liwsi-Mo is my six-year-old daughter

-and suffers from epilepsy.

-She has eight to fifteen seizures

-at school.

-Ysgol Abercaseg refers to them

-as blanks.

-A petit mal seizure

-is when a person loses awareness.

-It isn't a tonic clonic seizure

-that's linked with epileptic fits.

-When Liwsi has a blank I watch

-the clock and look after her.

-Thank you, Dwynwen.

-When Liwsi has a blank

-we tell the teachers.

-When Liwsi has a blank

-we count how long it lasts.

-When Liwsi has a blank

-we're meant to be quiet.

-I hold Liwsi's hand

-when she has a blank.

-Our thanks to Lisa Jen and Liwsi.

-Dr Ann has joined us.

-Tell us more about the condition.

-Liwsi suffers from a unique

-condition for children.

-It's called petit mal.

-You have a blank stare and lasts for

-seconds.

-You suffer from an absence.

-You may suffer from twitching.

-You don't remember yourself.

-You can suffer up to ten attacks

-a day.

-This is the brain.

-It's a complex organ.

-The brain is made up

-of millions of nerve cells...

-..that use electrical signals to

-control the body's functions...

-..senses and thoughts.

-If electrical signals in the brain

-are disrupted it causes a seizure.

-There's a risk that the path of

-these electrical signals...

-..are affected.

-Not all seizures are epileptic.

-The main fit involves you going blue

-in the face and falling.

-Some people will bite their tongue.

-It can last for minutes.

-Always carry a card that tells

-people what's wrong.

-You need to carry a card to explain

-your needs.

-It will tell people when to phone

-an ambulance.

-Are you born with it?

-It can be caused during birth with a

-loss of oxygen to the brain.

-A doctor will experiment

-with medication.

-About 20% of these medications

-may not work.

-There are different types of

-epilepsy.

-One is temporal lobe epilepsy.

-Your senses also feel strange.

-Your brain lobes are affected.

-It's been reported that headers in

-football are linked to brain damage.

-Players who head balls might be

-more prone to developing dementia.

-A British research into dementia was

-performed among retired footballers.

-The research started in Swansea.

-A doctor looked back on the history

-of this connection with football.

-They discovered a condition called

-encephalopathy.

-People and children

-need to be aware of the risks.

-It's a difficult balance.

-You want children to go out and

-play.

-New measures will have to be taken.

-There's plenty still to come today

-so we'll see you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Still to come this afternoon...

-..Lowri Steffan will brighten

-our homes with hints of yellow.

-Alison also shows us

-how to use cinnamon in cooking.

-Stay tuned to us.

-Elin Huws from Llanbedrog...

-..became an art teacher

-at Ysgol Botwnnog in 2004.

-She had completed a Master's degree

-at Edinburgh University in 2001.

-She's a full-time teacher

-and mother to two young children...

-..but she still manages to produce

-and exhibit work across Wales.

-Elin went to Ysgol Botwnnog

-to hear about an exhibition...

-..she is sharing with former pupils

-at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw.

-Elin Huws is an artist

-who specializes in tapestry.

-She has won many awards

-for her work.

-She has also taught Art at Ysgol

-Botwnnog in Lleyn for 13 years.

-I try to introduce them

-to as many artists as possible.

-The starting point is to learn

-about what's happened in the past.

-I try to introduce different

-cultures within art.

-In this exhibition

-at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw...

-..eight of your former pupils

-are showing their work.

-It must be a great feeling to think

-you've influenced them so much.

-I'm very happy that eight

-have gone on to study art.

-I'm not quite sure how much

-of an inspiration I actually was...

-..but I hope I've played a small

-part in their artistic development.

-Elin will be showing her work side

-by side with her former pupils.

-I spoke with some of the former

-pupils about their teacher.

-It's an honour to be part

-of the exhibition.

-It's great to be able to see the

-different paths we have all taken.

-We are very different but it all

-started with a special art teacher.

-I did an illustration course

-in Bristol...

-..and I do a bit of everything.

-I start with a sketchbook

-and some digital work.

-I then use paint and other

-techniques as well.

-It varies a lot.

-My sister and I

-are part of the exhibition.

-We both produce work

-inspired by the local area.

-We try to find different ways of

-portraying the Lleyn landscape.

-We use different techniques

-to show the same thing.

-I work with wood.

-I create bowls and wooden jewellery.

-I use coloured thread

-to bring a flash of colour...

-..and to draw the eye

-to the grain of the wood.

-Cian, your work will be seen first

-as people come in.

-It makes me very happy.

-This is a sign for Ysgol Botwnnog

-with hearts in the 'O's.

-The school is very special to me.

-Some people say they didn't

-enjoy school but I really did.

-Masterpieces!

-I think I'll be happy with

-the standard on view.

-Everyone has followed a different

-path creating some varied work.

-It's years ago since I was at school

-and I was amongst her first pupils.

-She was energetic and full of

-enthusiasm and inspired me a lot.

-I'll be nervous showing people at

-home how we've developed over time.

-It will also be nice seeing

-plenty of people here supporting us.

-I'm happy to share this work with

-other pupils of Ysgol Botwnnog...

-..and to share a stage

-with Miss Elin Huws.

-Glyn-y-Weddw until 19 March.

-Cinnamon is a common spice and has

-flavoured our foods for centuries.

-But scientists have proven that

-it is also good for our health.

-Alison will elaborate further.

-What is cinnamon

-and how can we buy it?

-Cinnamon is obtained from

-the inner bark of Cinnamomum trees.

-It has been dried

-in a curl of cinnamon.

-You can buy cinnamon in sticks

-or ground into a powder.

-Cinnamon powder

-is very convenient to use.

-Cinnamon sticks look attractive in

-recipes and have a special flavour.

-Cinnamon in powder form

-will lose its flavour over time.

-The chemical cinnamaldehyde,

-which flavours the spice...

-..slowly evaporates causing the

-flavour and texture to be lost.

-Cinnamon has a unique flavour.

-It reminds me of Christmas.

-It fills the room

-when you're cooking with it.

-It's also good for us.

-There is more and more evidence

-that cinnamon has a health benefit.

-It contains antioxidant chemicals...

-..helps fight diseases

-and assists digestion.

-Cinnamon also helps the body

-control sugar levels.

-You can use cinnamon

-instead of sugar.

-Cinnamon can lower blood sugar

-levels which can help with diabetes.

-How can we use it in our food?

-Let's begin with breakfast.

-Add ground cinnamon to your porridge

-instead of sugar.

-There are plenty of spiced

-cinnamon teas available.

-Also add it to coffee.

-Cinnamon is in many sweet breads

-like a pain au raisin.

-Make your own cinnamon butter

-to spread on toast or pancakes.

-Put some sugar with the butter.

-The butter melts over the pancake.

-Poached fruits can be flavoured

-with a cinnamon stick.

-It adds a unique taste

-and a warmth to the fruit.

-It also looks good.

-Not everyone likes a strong taste.

-Hot cross buns

-have cinnamon in them.

-Bagels can also have cinnamon.

-Cinnamon buns and Welsh cakes

-are flavoured with cinnamon.

-Shake cinnamon sugar

-on warm Welsh cakes.

-Cinnamon is used in Asian, Middle

-Eastern or North African cookery.

-It's used in the garam masala

-mixed spice.

-Garam masala is used in curries...

-..Indonesian noodles

-and Moroccan tagines.

-Thai curries also have

-cinnamon flavours.

-Curry kits will contain

-cinnamon sticks.

-That's it from us today.

-Tomorrow, we look at tech savvy

-gadgets that keep your pets happy.

-Helen Humphreys also looks at

-a wide collection of sportswear.

-The heat is turned up in Pryd o Ser

-following the S4C news and weather.

-Until tomorrow, goodbye.
