The Wright brothers first took to the air in 1903. That revolution started with the propellor engine. Only a few decades later the jet age began, and since then aviation has become an absolutely vital part of the global economy, as well as the lives of millions of people. But what's really interesting is that our experience of flight - the kind of aircraft we fly in, the routes they take through our airspace, where we need to go in order to get on a plane, and how the airborne goods that we buy to get to us – that hasn't changed very much over the decades. Yet it's starting to change now. The next chapter in the story of flight will look very different to the story that unfolded over the last century. And this has huge implications for how we think about places such as airports, new modes of flight like electric vehicle take-off and landing or air taxis, electric and hydrogen powered planes, and what sustainable flight looks like as we transition to net zero. So in this episode, we turn our attention to the future aviation; to the airports, airlines and aeronautical technologies that have been taking us to the skies, and connected us to the wider world, and to each other, for over a century. What is the next century going to look like? We also meet some of the innovators and industry leaders who are writing that new aviation story, like Captain David Morgan, Interim Chief Operating Officer at easyJet, Prof. Sarah Sharples, Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Transport, Arnab Chatterjee, VP - Infrastructure at Zero Avia, Michael Cervenka, President of Vertical Aerospace, Simon Earles, Director of Sustainability & Corporate Affairs at Bristol Airport, and Gary Cutts, Challenge Director at the Future Flight Challenge, and Katy Milne, former Head of Industrial Strategy at Fly Zero. And, of course, we hear from the Catapult's Chief Operating Officer, Rachel Gardner-Poole, as well as our Technology Innovation Leads for Aviation, Andrew Chadwick.

Welcome everyone to another episode of Nerds Amalgamated, we would like to take a moment and congratulate all those who are graduating university, school, or just having an excellent week. “The pursuit of knowledge is never ending. The day you stop seeking knowledge is the day you stop growing. Brandon Travis Ciaccio.” So, no we have set a serious mood let’s look at the first topic, which is that video games are an excellent way to combat loneliness. Also, that video games are helpful for men to combat issues such as social isolation and stress for men in today’s society. That’s right, read that correctly, video games are beneficial to men’s health and should be encouraged. What to know more to help develop those arguments for the girlfriend or boss, listen in and find out what we are talking about.Next up Buck has decided to bring us a mystery to try and solve. Now who doesn’t love a good puzzle? If like Buck you love sitting down with a crossword, a Sudoku or reading a good detective novel then you will love this. We have a mystery that is 500 hundred years old, has some of the most baffling elements and to top it off has stumped many professional investigators over the years. We are talking about a mass murder that struck fear in the hearts of the population of England. This is a mystery that is guaranteed to get you remembered in history if you solve it. Want to know what Buck has unveiled for us to ponder, listen in and find out.Now Ben Affleck is not someone who we get excited about, in fact he makes Buck yawn at the mere mention of his name. In fact I just yawned at the thought, crikey why are we talking about him? Well, it appears that he has a movie in the works that is looking kind of good, it is a topic that we hope he does justice to. Now we know that Hollywood has failed to deliver anything great for some time now, but this story has potential. We aren’t going to hold our breathe, and not just because of Benny boy of the sleep inducing performance. The reality is that the story is one that needs to be told with a sensitivity and care that is hard to deliver. This is something the likes of Spielberg should be directing. Want to know what it is we are talking about? You know what to do.As usual we have the regular shout outs, birthdays, remembrances, and special events. We hope you enjoy this episode and if you want to give us feedback we are always happy to hear from you. Take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated.Video Games cure Loneliness - https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/a29578572/men-friendships-video-games-loneliness/?fbclid=IwAR1AI07WCrmV-A7MVbqBGI5-H26VfKTj2k6fS6o3EZM6JkC0Rk_dJX9ye0ISweating disease origins - https://www.insidescience.org/news/medical-historians-still-struggle-identify-origin-disease-swept-across-england-500-years-agoBen Affleck’s new project - https://deadline.com/2019/11/ben-affleck-direct-congo-plunder-tale-king-leopolds-ghost-belgian-king-leopold-ii-1202791265/Games currently playingBuck– Spyro - https://store.steampowered.com/app/996580/Spyro_Reignited_Trilogy/Rating – 4.5/5Professor- Underrails - https://www.underrail.com/Rating – 5/5DJ – Age Of Empires Bundle - https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/11831/Age_of_Empires_Definitive_Edition_Bundle/Rating – 4/5Other topics discussedThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_SkyrimLAN Party (a gathering of people with computers or compatible game consoles, where a local area network (LAN) connection is established between the devices using a router or switch, primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer video games together.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAN_partyLAN party go to gamesProfessorWarcraft III: Reign of Chaos - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcraft_III:_Reign_of_ChaosHalo: Combat Evolved - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo:_Combat_EvolvedBuckUnreal Tournament - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unreal_TournamentCall of Duty - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty_(video_game)DJStarcraft: Brood War - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarCraft:_Brood_WarDunbar’s Number (a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_numberMacho Man Randy Savage as a Skyrim dragon- https://www.pcgamer.com/au/the-life-and-times-of-skyrims-best-dragon-macho-man-randy-savage/Tommy Wiseau Horse in Skyrim- https://bigmemes.funnyjunk.com/comments/Quotoh+hi+markquot+_78273e9f011bfc08a3d9222b3b39e3a5.jpgArthur, Prince of Wales (Prince of Wales, Earl of Chester and Duke of Cornwall.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur,_Prince_of_Wales28 Days Later (2002 British post-apocalyptic horror film directed by Danny Boyle.)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Days_Later28 Weeks Later (2007 horror film directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo.

It then flew a "lap of honour" above Bristol, passing over Portishead, Clevedon,Weston-super-Mare, Bristol Airport and Clifton Suspension Bridge, before landing at Filton, soon after 13:00 GMT. It was met by Prince Andrew, who formally accepted its handover. It had flown a total of 18,257 hours.

His musical repertoire included traditional English and Scottish ballads, Appalachian folk songs and original compositions. Workman was a recipient of a 1986 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts. He died at the age of 99 in Knoxville, Tennessee. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nimrod_Workman26 Nov 2005 – Stanley Melvin Berenstain, American author and illustrator, co-created the Berenstain Bears. Inspired by their children's enthusiasm for Dr. Seuss books, the Berenstains decided to attempt a series with animal protagonists themselves, settling on bears not because of their surname as was commonly believed, but because they found them easy to draw. They published their first book featuring the Berenstain Bears, The Big Honey Hunt, in 1962. At the time, their inspiration, Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss), was working as an editor in the children's division of Random House Publishing and eagerly approved the concept. He edited several books in the Berenstain Bears series and created a lasting franchise including many more books, television series, toys, and stage productions. He died from cancer at the age of 82 in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_and_Jan_Berenstain26 Nov 2012 – Joseph Edward Murray, American plastic surgeon who performed the first successful human kidney transplant on identical twins Richard and Ronald Herrick on December 23, 1954.
