Welcome to the June edition of the 2007 Intervest Global monthly newsletters. We hope that you continue to find the information informative and enjoyable to read.


Horse Racing- Could it work for Cows?

Claims that a form of horse racing for cows, so-called "cow racing", could reinvigorate the gambling industry were made at a hush-hush meeting of farmers, breeders and online betting firms. "Punters are always looking for something new" said farmer David Howie, "and cow racing could be the next big thing."

Insiders are said to be looking favourably at the proposal. Said one bookmaker, "These days you have dogs, camels and ostriches competing on the track. There is no good reason why cows shouldn't also be put through their paces."

The initial proposal is for race cows between the ages of three and five to compete over a mile. The cows would be jockeyless and, much like greyhounds, would chase an attractive moving target. David Howie has suggested an electric rail which would propel a life-sized farmer carrying a mini-trough.

James Steel of the Farmers Union gave cautious backing to the plan, but called for more support from government for British farmers. "Diversification In Action is one thing but to have dairy cows charging round a track urged on by excited racegoers is bound to have an effect on yield".

                          

              Are horses on the way out?            And cows on the way in?


Test Your Brain

This is really cool. Please read all the way though.

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

"FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS..."

(SEE BELOW)

HOW MANY?

WRONG, THERE ARE 6

NO JOKE, READ IT AGAIN!

Really, go back and ty to find the 6 F's before you scroll down. The reasoning behind is further down.

The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!

Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

A cowboy goes into a bar, has a beer, walks outside and finds his horse has been stolen. He walks back into the bar, fires his gun through the ceiling.

"Which one of you mothers stole my hoss?" he yells. No one answers. "All right, I’m gonna have one more beer and if my hoss ain’t outside by the time I finish, I’m gonna do what I dun in Texas."

He drinks another beer, walks outside, and his horse is back. So he gets on it and gets ready to ride out of town.

The bartender walks out of the bar and asks, "Say pardner, what happened in Texas?" The cowboy turns to him, and says…

"I had to bloody walk home."

 

Kokoda Challenge


A guiding principle in the Intervest Global philosophy is to commit a percentage of the organisation’s time, effort and profits toward charitable organisations and various community sponsorships. This year we have chosen to take part in the Kokoda Challenge in support of The Kokoda Challenge Association.

The Kokoda Challenge Association is a volunteer organisation helping young Australians to realise their full potential through the spirit of Kokoda. They do this through the Kokoda Challenge, a 96km cross country team event designed to increase awareness of Kokoda and raise funds for the Kokoda Challenge Youth Program (KCYP).

The event was designed to reflect the key elements of the Spirit of Kokoda - with 96km representing the actual distance of the Kokoda Track and the 39 hours symbolizing the 39th Militia who were the first of our Australian troops to arrive at Kokoda on 15th July 1942. The Kokoda Challenge is designed to increase awareness of Kokoda and raise funds for the Kokoda challenge Youth Program (KCYP). The KCYP is an early intervention program which engages young Australians to learn the skills and values of endurance, courage, mateship and sacrifice.

The 2007 Kokoda Challenge will be held on the 14-15th July 2007.

Intervest Global (Terri Whyatt, Matthew Whyatt and Gina Winsor) are entering a team in the Kokoda Challenge together with Body Choice Fitness (our personal trainer to keep us going) and would appreciate all the support we can get.
