There is a leopard lurking in this photo but you've got to look REALLY close to find him

There's a leopard here, honest - just look a bit harder and you'll see it

With their recognisable spots and sizeable stature, leopards shouldn't be that hard to spot.

And yet this photograph is stumping everyone as they simply cannot spot the big cat.

Thanks to nature, the iconic spots on the creatures are intended to help them blend in, hence how impossible this particular puss is to make out in the brush.

The predator is perfectly camouflaged as it has a lie down on the rocks in Rajasthan, India.

Sudhir Shivaram spotted the cunning animal when he was exploring in the small town of Bera - and has enjoyed teasing pals who don't even believe there's a leopard in the pic.

Secret Ledger in Ukraine Lists Cash for Donald Trump’s Campaign Chief

On a leafy side street off Independence Square in Kiev is an office used for years by Donald J. Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, when he consulted for Ukraine’s ruling political party. His furniture and personal items were still there as recently as May.

And Mr. Manafort’s presence remains elsewhere here in the capital, where government investigators examining secret records have found his name, as well as companies he sought business with, as they try to untangle a corrupt network they say was used to loot Ukrainian assets and influence elections during the administration of Mr. Manafort’s main client, former PresidentViktor F. Yanukovych.

Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012, according to Ukraine’s newly formed National Anti-Corruption Bureau. Investigators assert that the disbursements were part of an illegal off-the-books system whose recipients also included election officials.

The simplest way to get — and stay — happy, according to psychologists

When was the last time you felt truly happy? The kind of happy where you feel as if you just won an Olympic gold?

It's an amazing, but often fleeting, feeling. And many of us don't get enough of it.

What's more, there's a common belief that if we seek out things like a better career, more money, and meaningful companionship, we'll be happier as a result.

But that may be a harmful misconception, as science journalist Wendy Zukerman explains on an episode of the podcast series "Science VS."

To measure the level of happiness in people around the world, scientists use large surveys like the Mappiness app and the World Happiness Report where thousands of volunteers answer questions about how satisfied they are with their quality of life, overall well-being, and happiness.

Since 2013, my partner and I have been helping people with Type 2 diabetes to get free.

And no, we are not medical doctors.

Our core area of expertise actually lies in helping Nigerian men with their sexual health and performance.

This is what led us to researching diabetes because we found out that one of the main reasons why a lot of men were suffering from weak erections had to do with high blood sugar.

During this time, we learnt a lot of things that has assisted us in helping over 300 people to become diabetes free.

First of them is this fact:

Euromillion lottery winner spends half his £1million jackpot on round-the-world party - but is now worth MORE

Matt Myles with financially savvy mother Vivien

A lottery winner who partied away half his £1million prize has made it all back – after his mum read him the riot act.

Matt Myles, 29, spent £500,000 over 18 months in 22 countries, glugging champagne, buying designer clothes and bedding at least 150 women.

It looked like he would blow the lot with his high-roller lifestyle.

Then a stern word from his mum made him realise he was on the road to ruin so he made a series of investments in medical shares, a film and property.

Max Roach, a Founder of Modern Jazz, Dies at 83

Max Roach, a founder of modern jazz who rewrote the rules of drumming in the 1940’s and spent the rest of his career breaking musical barriers and defying listeners’ expectations, died early today in Manhattan. He was 83.

His death was announced today by a spokesman for Blue Note records, on which he frequently appeared. No cause was given. Mr. Roach had been known to be ill for several years.

As a young man, Mr. Roach, a percussion virtuoso capable of playing at the most brutal tempos with subtlety as well as power, was among a small circle of adventurous musicians who brought about wholesale changes in jazz. He remained adventurous to the end.

Prostitution, violence and crime gripping Rio while world watches sporting show

Prostitutes in Vila Mimosa red light district

It is billed as the Greatest Show on Earth.

But the glitz and glamour of the Olympics is taking place against a backdrop of a city gripped by violence, vice and crime.

Even as billions tuned in to see the action this week, three men – suspected gang members who rule the city’s favela slums – were shot dead by cops in a gun battle in north Rio.

A patrol of the 85,000-strong security forces brought in for the Games were shot at in the Mare favela after taking a “wrong turn”.

And within walking distance of the Olympic Park, where British stars Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jessica Ennis-Hill are taking centre stage, underage girls sell their bodies, in a city with 12,000 sex workers.

In the infamous Vila Mimosa – City of Tender Love – prostitutes made fliers for the Games, offering “cut-price” sex for 40 reals, or £9, almost half the usual price of 75 reals, or £17.
