Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire had been on my ‘to do’ list for many years but time, distance and the affects of disability had conspired to prevent me from getting there until earlier this year. I was not disappointed as I found myself wandering around the ruins like a slack-jawed yokel, just marvelling at the sheer size of the place. More than once I was heard to say f*** me! But at least I had the good taste to spell the rude word with a letter ‘q’.

 

To understand my awe you have to remember that I live in Norfolk and I am well familiar with the remains of Castle Acre Priory, Binham Priory and the single huge arch which is all that is left of Walsingham Abbey. Fountains Abbey was built on a wholly different scale to these religious buildings, both vertically and horizontally. In its prime it was a site of vast and serene grandeur. Even now it retains the ability to affect a visitor. It certainly affected me.

 

For perhaps the first time I was confronted with overwhelming evidence (and a better understanding of the claims made by historians) that King Henry VIII was the greatest vandal in English history. His agents took a wrecking ball to dozens of magnificent buildings and strip-mined them for materials and money. Many, like Fountains, ended up just being used as stone quarries.

 

Fountains was one of the many religious houses suppressed by Thomas Cromwell on behalf of his master, the King. King Henry had broken with the Church of Rome in the 1530s over the matter of his divorce and remarriage to Anne Boleyn. Henry also needed to improve his cashflow. The church owned vast tracts of the richest land in Britain and wielded great influence over the hearts and minds of the King’s people. If Henry wanted to make himself head of the new Church of England he would need to line his pockets, build defences against a possible Papal invasion and destroy the ability of the great religious houses to put up a theological - or martial - defence against him.

 

It is no coincidence that the start of the Dissolution of the Monasteries was met almost immediately by a popular rebellion in 1536 which then led to the Pilgrimage of Grace:

 

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilgrimage_of_Grace

 

It is also no coincidence that among the 216 known executions following the uprisings of 1536/37 were many monks and churchmen - including the former Abbot of Fountains, William Thirsk.

 

Henry VIII’s right-hand man Thomas Cromwell had started small by closing or amalgamating just the humbler or allegedly corrupt religious houses with the money going into the King’s coffers. Following Catholic rebellions the King and Cromwell appear to have regarded the untouched larger abbeys in much the same way as Adolph Hitler regarded Communism in WW2. Idealogical resistance from the heart of the church led to Henry VIII issuing the equivalent of Hitler’s ‘shoot the commissars’ order. Close the abbeys, turf out the abbots and execute any who opposed Henry’s supremacy. The Abbot of Glastonbury paid just such a price by being hung, drawn and quartered.

 

Thus it was that Fountains was closed and pillaged in 1539. Portable valuables such as gold or silver plate and vestments were taken away and sold off while the buildings and 500 acres (200 hectares) of land were sold to MP Sir Thomas Gresham, a former Lord Mayor of London. This was an epic shift in policy for Gresham as he had previously gifted tapestries to Cardinal Wolsey at Hampton Court and even paid for the poor Cardinal’s funeral when King Henry turned against Wolsey. Gresham was a man who could see which way the new wind was blowing. He went with it.

 

A full history of Fountains Abbey, once the richest Cistercian abbey in England, can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountains_Abbey

It is well worth a read.

 

Today Fountains is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Although owned by the National Trust, English Heritage membership cards are accepted in full as EH also looks after the Studley Royal church on the same site.

 

Disability footnote: despite the well laid paths, etc, Fountains is not an easy site for the disabled. The main ruins are some distance from the entrance while the rest of the Studley Royal park is vast and was not visited by me. Pace yourself as I found getting out up the paths at the end while very tired rather difficult.

After honing his skills as a Financial Advisor, Patrick helped to pioneer the role of a Banking Consultant to one of Canada’s largest, financial institutions. He spent the next decade giving expert advice to countless industry professionals and institutions such as the Toronto Police Services and the Canadian Armed Forces. Companies like Sony Canada, Edward Jones, and Adidas Canada have benefited from his strategies in cashflow management. His radio interviews on TALK 640 have helped him to spread his message to many seeking financial advice. But his greatest and most rewarding contributions have been in changing the lives of thousands of Canadian families that he has helped in restructuring their debt, savings and day-to-day banking more efficiently. Now, as a Regional Vice-President, Patrick spends his time coaching and mentoring others to do the same.

POHUTUKAWA : Selection 1

I'm still at it doing Pohutukawa trees. What the market needs it gets while there is a serious downturn in the economic front. We're a bit 'bushed' out here economically. Got to keep my head above water...the marketing guy has told me to go for the cashflow items till the bigger stuff comes along...so pohutukawa here we come. Size 550 x 480mm

Nicht in irgendeinem Hotel, in irgendeinem Seminarraum, nach Möglichkeit noch ohne Tageslicht. Oder in irgendeiner Halle, sondern auf dem Wasser. Viel Tageslicht, wundervolles Ambiente, das Schiff gleitet sanft ĂŒber den Rhein, die Landschaft und andere Schiffe ziehen vorbei.

 

Das Publikum lauscht gebannt den großartigen, auserwĂ€hlten Experten, die in 15 Minuten jeder fĂŒr sich, das Wertvollste aus ihrem Leben raushauen.

 

Tobias Rethabers Vortrag - Die geheime Investmentstrategie der Reichen

 

Tobias ist das Sinnbild fĂŒr eine Erfolgskarriere mit Hindernissen. Mit damals 15 Jahren traf er die Entscheidung neben der Schule, in einem Finanzvertrieb zu starten. Ohne Wissen oder Vorkenntnisse war fĂŒr Ihn klar, dass wahrer Reichtum darin besteht zu lernen, wie Geld funktioniert.

 

Diese 3 Jahre waren hart und hauptsĂ€chlich Lehrjahre. Nach dem Abitur im Jahre 2004 machte er sich sofort selbststĂ€ndig als Finanzmakler, jedoch mit mĂ€ĂŸigem Erfolg. Der erste kleine Durchbruch gelang ihm im Jahre 2007 mit 22 Jahren, als er deutschlandweit unter den Top10 Beratern in einem großen Versicherungskonzern war.

 

Kurz darauf kam eine Talfahrt, die in der ersten Pleite endete. Als Tobias bewusst wurde, wie die Menschen durch die Produkte der Finanzindustrie abgezockt werden, konnte er diese aus moralischer und ethischer Sicht nicht mehr verkaufen. Ein neuer Lebensabschnitt musste her. Das Ziel und die Mission der AufklÀrungsarbeit war entstanden, sodass Tobias sich darauf spezialisiert hatte den Menschen zu zeigen wie Sie besser mit Geld umgehen, von der Finanzmafia nicht mehr abgezockt werden und im nÀchsten Schritt in werthaltige und nachhaltige Substanzwerte investieren können.

 

Nach 2 Jahren in einem Immobilienunternehmen entschied sich Tobias im Januar 2010 seine eigene international agierende Wirtschaftskanzlei aufzubauen. Nach einem herben Tiefschlag im Jahre 2012, als Tobias durch einen Betrugsfall fast sein gesamtes Vermögen verloren hatte, war der Beschluss gefasst seine Fehler in Chancen zu verwandeln.

 

Innerhalb von nur eineinhalb Jahren hat er es geschafft, durch das Befolgen der 10 geheimen Cashflow-Regeln ein riesiges Vermögen aufzubauen und zeigt vielen Menschen, wie auch sie seine Strategie fĂŒr sich nutzen können.

 

Heute zĂ€hlen zu seinen Mandanten Privatpersonen, mittelstĂ€ndische Unternehmen, sowie reiche Familien aus verschiedenen DAX Konzernen. Der Mandantenkreis erstreckt sich mittlerweile auf ĂŒber 18 LĂ€nder, mit einem Jahresumsatz von 50 Mio. € Neben seiner beruflichen Karriere ist Tobias vor allem ein glĂŒcklicher Ehemann und zweifacher Familienvater, der mit beiden Beinen im Leben steht.

 

Folgende Themen sind vertreten und machen es besonders spannend: Neue Ära der modernen Weiblichkeit, Lasse los und gewinne!, Nutze doch 1000 PS fĂŒr Dein Business, Kampfgeist, Resilienz - im Chaos einen kĂŒhlen Kopf bewahren, Entfalte dein Potenzial durch Nutzung deiner StĂ€rken & Talente, Einfach SEIN - So geht Unternehmertum heute, Erlaube dir Geld, Dein Denken wird Dich lenken..., Mit Freude und Leichtigkeit zu TOP-Ergebnissen, Handwerk geht neue Wege, Die geheime Investmentstrategie der Reichen, uvm.

 

Über den Organisator der Speaker Cruise, Ernst Crameri ist Erfolgscoach, Autor, Business-Experte, BegrĂŒnder von zig Firmen, Top-Speaker im In- und Ausland und Naturkosmetik-Hersteller. Dieses Jahr feiert er zwei JubilĂ€en, einmal 40 Jahre Unternehmer und 30 Jahre Crameri-Naturkosmetik-Produkte. Gewinner des internationalen Speaker Slam Awards. Über 1.000 VortrĂ€ge vor einigen 100.000 Menschen, in unzĂ€hligen Unternehmen in 6 LĂ€ndern. 67 BĂŒcher, eine anhaltende BeratertĂ€tigkeit, immer neue Impulse und Inspiration fĂŒr Welt und Wirtschaft - das ist Ernst Crameri: Er reflektiert, denkt quer sowie geradeaus, polarisiert, stellt infrage, provoziert. Er kennt wie aus der Westentasche, die vielen TĂŒcken der SelbststĂ€ndigkeit und was es alles braucht, um entsprechend zum Erfolg zu gelangen.

 

Ernst Crameri war schon immer ein Querdenker und hat großartige Projekte ins Leben gerufen wie die höchste Schönheitsfarm der Welt auf 3.000 Meter Höhe, Erster Schönheitszug der Welt, Erste Schönheitsfarm in Sibirien, Doggy-Wellness, Baby-Wellness,viele Events auf Kreuzfahrtschiffen.

 

Ernst Crameri gibt Speakern eine Chance, sich anders darzustellen und dafĂŒr hat er die Speaker-Events ins Leben gerufen. Der Start mit der 1. Speaker Cruise der Welt auf dem Rhein. Der Gedanke dahinter, ein außergewöhnliches Event zu schaffen, außerhalb der ĂŒblichen Hotel- und Kongresshallenszene. In einem geschĂŒtzten Raum, denn alle Teilnehmer und die Referenten mĂŒssen pĂŒnktlich an Bord sein und dann heißt es Leinen los.

 

Kein sonst so störendes zu spĂ€t kommen, frĂŒher gehen. Man möchte mit dem einen oder anderen Teilnehmer und auch mit den Referenten sich unterhalten und diese sind nicht mehr auffindbar. Auf dem Schiff sind Teilnehmer und Referenten alle mit an Bord. Es wird auf dem Schiff ĂŒbernachtet, wunderschöne Kabinen stehen zur VerfĂŒgung.

 

Gemeinsames Mittagessen am ersten Tag, dann die von Ernst Crameri so geliebte Tee-Time mit Piano-Musik, Cafe, Tee und Kuchen. Abendessen, Mitternachts-Imbiss, Party an Bord mit Live-Musik und am nĂ€chsten Tag FrĂŒhstĂŒcksbĂŒffet.

 

Das heißt, auf dem Schiff begegnet man sich immer wieder, kann sich austauschen, neue Freundschaften entstehen, ein sehr hoher Wissenstransfer findet statt und natĂŒrlich die pure Lebensfreude, auf dem Schiff zu sein und auf dem Rhein zu fahren. Die Landschaft gleitet sanft vorbei, Schiffe werden ĂŒberholt und kommen entgegen, An Bord tragen hochkarĂ€tige Referenten ihre Themen vor. Ein Fernsehteam und die Fachpresse begleitet die Reise.

"Sadhus or Hindu holy men wander the Indian subcontinent on a perpetual barefoot pilgrimage to holy places. Though they deliberately reject the conventions of the Hindu caste system, their own subculture involves an intricate network of sects and traditions. A sadhu's affiliation can be interpreted by his garments, by the implements he carries, and by the colored designs painted on his forehead." - Flickr.com user "jmhullot." Visit "jmhullot"'s photostream here.

 

It is difficult to differentiate between "true" sadhus and the many beggars posing as sadhus for money, especially since many sadhus' vows of renunciation require them to subsist on the charity of others.

 

Many sadhus have attempted to differentiate themselves from their opportunistic peers by utilizing their unique status to organize social services for their local communities. These sadhus have gathered large followings and, despite operating ashrams with large cashflows, continue to live according to their renunciate vows.

The business had very recently closed at the time of photographing. www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/local-news/rugby-salon-mar...
