Podcast appearances and mentions of Jim Downing

Esto es un extracto de los podcast especiales de seguimiento del Dakar 2025 que realizamos en AutoFM. El compromiso por la seguridad vial de AUTOFM está presente en todos los tipos de programas que ofrece por eso sacamos también esta sección que va dentro de los episodios del DAKAR 2025 Nacho ayer abrió el tema del Hans, arnés y casco, ¿nos cuentas qué es el hans? El HANS (Head and Neck Support o soporte de cabeza y cuello) es un dispositivo de seguridad pasiva diseñado para proteger la cabeza y el cuello de los pilotos en caso de accidentes automovilísticos. Su función principal es limitar el movimiento brusco de la cabeza durante un impacto, reduciendo significativamente el riesgo de lesiones graves, como las fracturas basilares del cráneo. ¿Cuándo y cómo nace? El dispositivo HANS fue concebido en la década de 1980 por el Dr. Robert Hubbard, profesor de ingeniería biomecánica en la Universidad Estatal de Michigan. La motivación para su desarrollo surgió tras la muerte de Patrick Jacquemart, un amigo cercano y piloto de carreras, quien falleció debido a lesiones en la cabeza durante un accidente. Junto con su cuñado, el piloto Jim Downing, Hubbard inició investigaciones para crear un sistema que protegiera a los pilotos de las fuerzas y aceleraciones extremas experimentadas en colisiones de alta velocidad. Después de años de pruebas y refinamientos, el HANS demostró ser efectivo al reducir la carga en el cuello hasta en un 80% durante impactos frontales. ¿Cómo es el funcionamiento del dispositivo HANS? El HANS se compone de una pieza en forma de “U” que se apoya sobre los hombros del piloto y se asegura mediante las correas del arnés de seguridad. El casco del piloto se conecta al dispositivo mediante correas ajustables, lo que permite limitar el movimiento hacia adelante de la cabeza durante un impacto. Este diseño distribuye las fuerzas y aceleraciones generadas en una colisión, reduciendo la tensión en el cuello y previniendo lesiones graves. ¿De qué está hecho? Los que yo conozco con de fibra de carbono y pesan menos de 500g ¿Alguna desventaja? Que pesa, limita movimientos y se tarda más en retirar que solo el casco ¿Cuándo llega al automovilismo? A pesar de su eficacia comprobada, la adopción del HANS en el automovilismo profesional fue inicialmente lenta. No fue hasta finales de la década de 1990 y principios de los 2000, tras una serie de accidentes fatales que involucraron fracturas basilares del cráneo, que las principales organizaciones de carreras comenzaron a exigir su uso obligatorio. Por ejemplo, la Fórmula 1 implementó su uso en 2003, y NASCAR lo hizo obligatorio en 2001, después de la trágica muerte de Dale Earnhardt. ¿A quién le ha salvado la vida? A miles de pilotos, seguramente el primero fue Fernando Alonso.

Join us for another Thirsty Thursday as Father Gale shares the story of Jim Downing: Pearl Harbor survivor, centenarian, and missionary.

Jim Downing joined the U.S. Navy in 1931 because the pay was very attractive at the depths of the Great Depression. After training he would be assigned to the brand new USS West Virginia, serving on 16-inch guns and as postmaster for the ship. Ten years later, on December 7, 1941, Downing was at a meeting on shore at Pearl Harbor when word came that the Pacific Fleet was under attack. In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Downing explains how he raced back to his ship, helped protect it from exploding and also took it upon himself to write to the families of the fallen from that horrible day.Downing also tells us about the remainder of his Naval career and the amazing encounters he later had with the Japanese pilot who led the attack on Pearl Harbor.At the time of this interview in 2017, Lt. Downing was 103 years old. At the time that made him the second oldest living American veteran of Pearl Harbor. He passed away the following year at 104 years old.

Perhaps you've found yourself in a time of desperation—feeling like you've come to the end of your rope. When you didn't think the bottom could be any farther down, and you plummet a little more, who do you reach for when all the things you've relied on to give you strength and satisfaction come up empty? In the Bible, it says this, in Philippians 4:19-20: “And my God will fully supply your every need according to his glorious riches in the Messiah Jesus. Glory belongs to our God and Father forever and ever! Amen.” Our guests this week share how God came through by putting people in their lives that helped them in their most desperate hours. Journalist Dianne Derby found hope and inspiration from spending each Tuesday with a ninety-nine year old Pearl Harbor survivor who taught her how to slow down and comforted her through a pregnancy crisis. Minister Jordan Wilson was at a low point in his life due to a drug addiction, when he learned his mother had been praying unceasingly for his recovery, and decided to take his father up on an invitation to a church service that would change the whole course of his life.    Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Past interview: Derek Evans Upcoming interview: Natalie Grant Philippians 4:19-20 NIV   Dianne Derby Pearl Harbor Two Hundred Tuesdays: What a Pearl Harbor Survivor Taught Me About Life, Love, and Faith Garden of the Gods Club   Jordan Wilson Friends of Sinners Matthew 14:22-33 NIV www.friendofsinner.org   Interview Quotes: “It was so captivating because here [Jim Downing] was in this major, major event at Pearl Harbor. And yet he was turning the focus on to the heroes of today. He said, ‘We only had to endure the bombs for a little while. The heroes today are up against that every day.'” - Dianne Derby  “It was just remarkable to hear this man run towards danger, memorize the names of the dead, put out fires on this ship so he could help save others, and then write those letters to the families who lost their loved ones. It was just such a beautiful testimony of faith in one of the darkest, scariest moments of their lives.” - Dianne Derby “I knew that focusing on Jesus and sinking into His love and sinking into my faith were the only ways out of the depths of despair that I faced.” - Dianne Derby “I tried to get out [of addiction] for so long. I did long term rehab, short term rehab, I [saw a] medicine therapist, the whole nine yards, and nothing ever worked. And the reason that nothing worked was I refused to surrender my heart to Christ.” - Jordan Wilson “I am a new person in Christ Jesus, and I feel obligated to share what God has delivered me with the next person to show that there is hope, there is freedom from addiction, and that freedom is Jesus Christ.” - Jordan Wilson “Nothing in this world will ever be able to truly satisfy you. Popularity won't satisfy you. Social status won't satisfy you. Thousands of followers on social media won't satisfy you. You are created by God and for God and outside of a relationship with Him, you'll never be complete.” - Jordan Wilson ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel: Audio Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PrbuwH Video Playlist: https://bit.ly/2PsmEkJ What's Good?

Welcome back to the Compliance In Context Podcast! On today’s episode, we have the distinct pleasure of chatting with Jim Downing, the current Chair-Elect of the NSCP Board of Directors and current Chief Compliance Officer for Morningstar, who shares with us his Five Fundamentals of Compliance, and provides some fantastic insight into how best to run a compliance program that has multiple business lines and a global customer base. In our Headlines section, we do another dive into some recent buzz and regulatory activity surrounding cryptoassets, we’ll cover a defense of family offices from a couple key regulators, and finally, we’ll wrap up today’s show with another installment of What’s On My Mind, where in the spirit of this year’s Olympic games, we look back at a quote from the greatest sprinter of our generation to help provide peace of mind to compliance officers everywhere, no matter the stage in their career.

So when it comes to a global compliance program, I have to realize what I don’t know. And so when we look at, let’s say, Aon or my current position at MorningStar, there were several jurisdictions where I could--in no way--consider myself an expert. So what’s really important there is you make sure you have the right talent onboard.” “It’s so important to, number one, when you first get there and you first start meeting these executives or heads of sales or product, or operations, or finance, or all the various compartments, is to really take some time and to sit down and to listen to them.” “Because that’s the advice that we're giving the business on kind of a day-to-day basis you know. When they come to us “Hey what should I do about this?” or “I'm thinking about doing this, what do you think?” And that advice should be drawing from all of these five different fundamentals, you know it should be drawing from where's our where's what's our most risky behavior? It should be drawing from what do our policies and procedures say? It should be drawing from, well, you know, we tested that process and they’re talking about they want to increase the capacity of that and that wasn't very good or hey we had a recent exam or there’s an outstanding issue or whatever it is.” Resources: Compliance in Context Contact Form Compliance in Context, LinkedIn Twitter:

Jim Downing was deeply admired by his friends and peers. Someone said of him "his life means more to me than all the sermons I ever heard"... The example of a life lived in Christ is perhaps the greatest sermon you or I could ever preach.

Jim Downing survived Pearl Harbour, and realized how urgent was the mission to share the love of Jesus. In today's world of COVID, with death all around us, surely we can learn the same lesson.

When God prompted Jim Downing to share the gospel with a friend, he chickened out. A few days later that man was dead. Don't ignore His nudgings!

Jim Downing finally gave his life to Christ - no reservations - and found great fulfillment and joy, even in a dusty and dark place. Have you made such a commitment? Do it today!

Ten shows back on Episode 321, our friend Steve Balestrieri who's the head writer and editor at SpecialOperations.com told us about his work interviewing combat veterans from some of the older wars.  I wanted to bring him on for an update on that.  I've always loved getting older vets on tell their stories whether it's Jerry Yellin who joined Brandon on The Power of Thought podcast, or Jim Downing who recently left us.  They're all unfortunately leaving us as the years go by, so getting them to open up with their heroic stories on film is something that Steve and the rest of us at Hurricane Group greatly appreciate. SpecialOperations.com for those that don't know is Hurricane Group's site covering the history of our operators.  Steve has been writing some excellent pieces over there that we hope you check out.  These include "Operation Halyard, one of the great rescue stories of WWII," "On this day in 2016, Navy SEAL Edward Byers Awarded Medal of Honor," and "Operation Anaconda, began on this date, March 2-10, 2002 in Afghanistan."  So, head over to that site, and learn your roots! I'd also urge you to head over to The Power of Thought podcast hosted by Brandon Webb to get your audio fix.  We just posted a killer interview with none other than Robert O'Neill, the UBL shooter from DEVGRU/SEAL Team 6.

Navy SEAL Brent Gleeson joins us in studio for the podcast, which we livestreamed.  He has a new book out next week, it's called "TakingPoint: A Navy SEAL's 10 Fail-Safe Principles for Leading Through Change."  Be sure to pre-order it.  The book gets into some of the takeaways Brent was able to deliver to the business world, and we hear all about it.  You might remember seeing Gleeson on NBC's "Stars Earn Stripes" as a veteran cast member alongside Dale Comstock and the legend Chris Kyle.  Brent also writes a regular column for both Forbes and Inc. that we hope you check out.  We of course also get into Brent's combat deployment history, getting into the SEALs pre-9/11, and the chaos the ensued.   I also feel it's important to mention that recent guest of the podcast, Lt. Jim Downing, has passed away.  At the time when we interviewed him, Downing was the second oldest living Pearl Harbor survivor.  Feel free to re-live Jim's story from Episode 246.  What a true hero and a patriot.  I know that he will be revered by both myself and this audience.

On the show today, we go back over 70 years and cover the most significant attack on American soil prior to 9/11. Our guest on this episode is retired Navy Lt. Jim Downing. At 104 years old, Jim is the 2nd oldest known American survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Jim's memory of that day is still as sharp and clear as it was the day it all unfolded, so we are incredibly lucky to get this firsthand account of the day "which will live in infamy," as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt observed after the attack. Hear on this episode how Jim survived the attack, and rushed in to save his fellow shipmates. Also hear Jim explain why he had the greatest peace in his life during such a horrific scene of shock and carnage. This episode will take you back to a very pivotal time in America's history, as told by someone who lived every eye-opening moment of it! www.jimdowning.net | "The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey Through Pearl Harbor and the World of War"

Jim Downing, USN Retired, Author “The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey Through Pearl Harbor and the World War” With greatest respect to Jim and his shipmates lost at Pearl Harbor, I included the entire transcript of the interview. Host:  Today, we’re honored to have Jim Downing, author of “The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey Through Pearl Harbor and the World War.” Jim’s ship was the Navy battleship the USS West Virginia, where Jim was a Gunner’s Mate First Class and ship’s Postmaster. Jim retired from the Navy with 24 years of service, at rank of Lieutenant, and has remained a utility player during his 27 years, full-time staff with the Navigators, serving in positions ranging from Deputy President to Chair of the Board of Directors. Jim was married for 68 years to Morena, who passed away in 2010, and is parents of 7 children. Jim is still known as Navigator #6. Jim, welcome to Business Leaders podcast. We’re honored. Jim: No, sir. I’m honored to be here. Host: This is awesome. We’re in Jim’s living room, and we’re chatting away at the kitchen table, where, I think, everything that’s important has ever happened in life, is at the kitchen table. And so I thought I’d go through and, you know, Jim, to kind of start out, take us back to your growing up, and a bit about yourself in Plevna, Missouri. Jim: I was born at the beginning of World War I. My father worked in defense plants. Money was pretty scarce, so he had an uncle that lived right outside of Kansas City, so he got a job there so I could be delivered by my uncle. And then, my great-grandparents bought a large parcel of land in Missouri, directly out of Louisiana Purchase. So we still have a section of that in the family today. So, there’s a small town by the name of Plevna. It was settled by Bulgarian immigrants. And apparently, they have a town by that name, so they named it after their hometown in Bulgaria. Host: I bet you Plevna, Missouri looks just like Plevna, Bulgaria. What do you bet? Jim: Well, something one of my friends checked it out on the Google, and the population is now 40. It was 100 when I lived there, so it’s cut in half now. Host: You know, it’s interesting to grow up in rural America. And I think about the times that you grew up, and I read your book recently, and you were talking about some of the early influences, the Zane Grey and Horatio Alger books that you read. You know, as a young man, did you find that those books shaped part of your thinking? Jim: Yes, it did. Books were scarce, and I liked the Zane Grey books and the Horatio Alger books. In fact, that’s all we had. So I read them over and over and over again. And as I mentioned in my book, the Horatio Alger books shaped, you know, that if you do the right thing, you’ll be a success. So, I felt they were pretty much all the same, just changed the name of the characters in them. But the theme was that somebody went into town, found a sponsor, did the right things, and ended up a success. So I kind of adopted that philosophy. I could be a success. Host: You know, it’s an interesting thought process when you’re in a smaller community looking for a role model. And, for you, on access to the books, where did the books come from? Was there a local library? Jim: We had a small library, but these were family books. So I apparently had ancestors who were interested in Zane Grey.

You know, in your book, rolling forward a little bit further down the road, you mention the influence of radio in your life and listening to the World Series on radio, and listening to, I think it was Dempsey’s fight on the radio.

Today we have an interview with 103 year old Pearl Harbor survivor, Jim Downing. Jim was born and raised in Missouri. He’s a World War II Veteran and was stationed in Pearl Harbor during the attack. His new book that just came out is called, The Other Side of Infamy. Out of the 16 million World War II Vererans, there are only a little over half a million still living today. Soon it will be impossible for us to get to visit with someone who can tell us first hand what it was like. On today’s show, we talk with one of the few survivors left who was stationed in Pearl Harbor during the attack. We owe it to our history to glean a few more gems of wisdom from someone who was there. The post Pearl Harbor Survivor Jim Downing appeared first on Home Front with Cynthia Davis.

December 5, 2016 - In this episode we meet 103-year-old Lt. Jim Downing, the second-oldest survivor of the Pearl Harbor attack, who will speak at the 75th commemoration in Hawaii on December 7th, 2016. Jim not only witnessed his ship, USS West Virginia, go up in flames on that day of infamy, but he later served in the Korean War, and in 1956 stumbled into the H-Bomb test at Bikini Atoll. A man of great faith and soon to be the oldest male author in the Guinness Book of World Records, Jim Downing is also a spiritual leader with The Navigators, a worldwide Christian ministry. This unique and inspiring veteran joins us to share his memoir, The Other Side of Infamy: My Journey Through Pearl Harbor and the World of War. If you enjoy this first-person account of the war, check out our chat with Roger Boas, who's a few years short of 100 and a veteran of George S. Patton's Third Army. He shared many war stories and his struggles to adjust to civilian life in Battle Rattle: A Last Memoir of World War Two.
