My teenagers demand something a bit more exciting than sand and sea from family summer holidays nowadays, and given their obsession with all things Kardashian, we decided on California this year. In fact, we plumped for a classic American road trip - driving along the Pacific Coast Highway (aka Route 1) from San Francisco to Los Angeles. It took Molly, Dylan and I three weeks to do it, and we fitted so much in during that time it's difficult to even do it justice. Navigating Route 1 from San Fran's iconic Golden Gate Bridge to LA, Jane Horrocks enjoys her road trip . San Francisco is known as America's most European city, possibly because you'll need to pack a fleece even in late July. The mist that rolls in off the sea and shrouds the Golden Gate Bridge most days can sometimes linger, but we never stayed still long enough to get cold. Based in the funky Hotel Zetta - where the foyer-come games room and bar is plastered with colossal photos of John Lennon and past guests of Alcatraz - we spent three days hurtling around the city, often clinging for dear life to the famous cable cars that haul you up and down the City's hills. We ate clam chowder from a bread bowl at Fisherman's Wharf, we trawled the boutiques of Haight Ashbury in search of the summer of love, we bussed out to the Golden Gate, and we wondered at the aquarium in Golden Gate Park. Jane travelled the scenic route, taking in beaches . And, fleeces on, we took the boat trip to Alcatraz, which is not to be missed. The brilliant audio guide that leads you around the prison is narrated only by men who were once guards or prisoners on the rock, making for an eerie and compelling tour. After trying to distil the city into only 72 hours, we climbed into our SUV and headed for Route 1. It's only about 350 miles as the crow flies between San Francisco and LA, but this (mostly) coastal route is probably well over 500 miles long as it winds through some of California's most wonderful, ever-changing scenery. Much of the highway has a 55mph speed limit and has only one lane in each direction - it's time to take your foot off the gas, relax and take it all in. My children said it reminded them of Dorset as we headed south past Santa Cruz and then nipped briefly into Monterey to dine in a seafront restaurant on the edge of Cannery Row, the waterfront district made famous in John Steinbeck's novel of the same name. At Dylan's insistence, we took a detour on to 17 Mile Drive, the scenic road around the Monterey Peninsula that leads to the world-famous Pebble Beach golf club. He was rather disappointed by the condition of the course there, but thrilled with the state of Quail Lodge and Golf Club, our first port of call just outside the pretty little town of Carmel. Even the non-golfers among us loved our

When retired hairdresser Theodosia Aresti, 71, moved into a new-build flat in London five years ago, the frail pensioner thought she had found her dream home. But after a blocked pipe unleashed a 'tsunami of sewage' from the nine-storey building's 239 other flats into her apartment, her hopes of a contented retirement were ruined - and she says she now hopes to move. Mrs Aresti's nightmare began when she noticed a foul smell coming from her bathroom and discovered an unidentifiable brown substance bubbling up through the plughole in her bath. Scroll down for video . Traumatic: Theodosia Aresti was left devastated when her flat became flooded with raw sewage . 'I always keep my bath clean and I looked down and all I could see was this brown stuff coming out,' she remembers. 'It was bad. It was very bad. Within half an hour, it [the bath] was over half full.' But worse was to come. '10, 20 minutes later, the bath stopped filling but the toilet, it made a terrific noise and then, when I looked, it was half full. 'Then it started filling up and filling up and filling up. And then it was gushing out. It started flooding the flat everywhere.' With raw sewage pouring into her flat, Mrs Aresti phoned her daughter Kiki and grandson Nicos and begged them to come to her aid. She also got in touch with the company in charge of maintaining the nine-story block of flats to tell them that waste was pouring into her flat. 'I phoned the maintenance people and I said, it looks like sewage stuff coming out the bath. He said, sorry, no, no, no, you should get a plumber because I'm busy and it's Sunday.

'It was like a volcano, that's how bad it was. Just never ending. You could see she was visibly distraught.' But worse was to come. Despite the best efforts of the plumber, who spent four hours trying to stem the tide of sewage, the excrement was strewn all over the flat and had soaked into carpets. Worst of all was the mess in her bedroom which, according to daughter Kiki, both smelled 'foul' and 'was unhealthy' thanks to the sodden carpet. Maintenance workers, however, were unable to visit for four days - leaving a distressed Mrs Aresti to sleep in a room filled with sewage for three nights. Devastated: The disgusting episode has left Mrs Aresti desperate to find a new home .

UFC champion Ronda Rousey wants to return to the WWE after her hit debut appearance with Fast and Furious co-star The Rock at WrestleMania 31 but her packed schedule will make it difficult. A huge WWE fan, Rousey made her first in-ring performance on March 29 in front of almost 77,000 people in Levi's Stadium in California and admits she caught the bug. Rousey told retired wrestling legend Roddy Piper's Piper Pit podcast that 'there's nothing like' WWE but she is focussed on her upcoming fight against fierce UFC rival Bethe Correia. Ronda Rousey wants to 'find a way' to return to the WWE after taking down co-owner Stephanie McMahon . Rousey was a hot with fans at Wrestlemania 31 but her focus for now is on her fight against Bethe Correia . 'I need to find a way (to return), but I have a lot of stuff going on. I'm fighting August 1st,' Rousey said ahead of her 12th UFC fight in Rio de Janeiro. 'First of all, the kind of beating Bethe is going to get in Brazil is nothing compared to anything anyone can make up in the meantime. 'So I can't make anyone excited about anything while that fight is looming over my head.' Fans were ecstatic when Rousey helped The Rock take down The Authority, otherwise known as WWE co-owner Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, who she threw over her shoulder with what looked like a trademark judo move, on the Sunday night show on March 29. Piper said: 'I've never seen Triple H hip-tossed any better.' UFC women's bantamweight champion Rousey appeared with Fast and Furious 7 co-star The Rock . Rousey's focus is on her much-anticipated UFC bout against also undefeated Bethe Correia (left) in Brazil . On the following evening's WWE Raw, when former UFC champion Brock Lesner made his entrance, they chanted Rousey's name. Rousey admitted she had been given the most high-profile of introduction to the WWE crowd. 'I hit the ground running ... the first I ever wrestled was at Wrestlemania with an attendance record at Levi's Stadium,' she told Piper, whose nickname Rowdy she took for herself with his blessing. 'I had a problem when I left though. There's no way I can't not go back in there again. There's no way. After experiencing that, there's nothing like it. Yeah. 'The second I left I was already thinking, 'How can I possibly go back?' I didn't even change yet. I hadn't even gotten out of my outfit yet.' Rousey tweeted 'We're just gettin' started' after the event fuelling speculation for a return however her agent Brad Slater told Fox Sports' UFC Tonight that it was just a one-off. Rousey throws Triple H over her shoulder and into the canvas as The Rock watches on in the hit appearance . Speaking to Piper about the differences between WWE and UFC, Rousey said it was about the 'uncertainty of the fight'. 'I don't know exactly what's going to happen,' she said of UFC, even though a predicted early attack in her last

Scottish football's relationship with television has become a form of Stockholm Syndrome. No one is tied up in a basement. There are no hostages. Yet the lengths to which the SPFL will go to show love to those broadcasters who hold a gun to their heads has become a source of growing, simmering public fury. The Scottish game is engaged in a Faustian pact. And the television piper is calling the tune. Sky and BT Sports pay £16million a year for live coverage of Scottish football. The BBC puts in an estimated £3m a year for Sportscene highlights and radio commentaries. Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths (right) completes his hat-trick during the win over Kilmarnock earlier this week . Compared with the £5billion paid to English clubs for Premiership football the sums are trifling. Borderline insulting. St Mirren facing Ross County on a wet March night in Paisley will never be a rival to the Manchester derby but broadcasters don't show Scottish football out of charity. They do so because it fills their schedules and meets a level of demand. In return for which they regard SPFL football with indifference. The BBC, a state public service broadcaster, charges the same flat rate licence tax to viewers in London and Manchester as it does to viewers in Glasgow and Inverness, with one key difference. English football is treated with reverence and respect. Scottish football like a pavement beggar. On Saturday, Hibernian and Falkirk fans will be asked to travel to Glasgow for a Scottish Cup semi-final which kicks off at 12.15pm Why? Because Sky Sports want the game out of the way to show a recorded documentary on Bob Paisley. On Sunday, Inverness fans must travel 200 miles for another 12.15pm kick-off against Celtic. Topping the bill in the afternoon is the European Cup rugby semi-final between Leinster and Toulon, a game likely to prompt complete indifference in public houses the length and breadth of Britain. It's not just the Scottish Cup. Celtic have played just four home league games at 3pm on a Saturday all season. And the decision to put back the Hearts v Rangers Championship clash 24 hours for the benefit of Sky caused an almighty row while resurrecting the dreaded 'sporting integrity' phrase. Hibernian are engaged in a battle with the Ibrox side for second place in the Championship. This matters because the team which finishes second has two fewer tense, troublesome play-off games to play. Were Rangers to go into their final game at Tynecastle needing only a point against Hearts — Hibernian's city rivals — the game would be played against an unparalleled backdrop of suspicion. To most — Leanne Dempster of Hibs and Hearts owner Ann Budge especially — the issue is one of fairness. It's clear cut. The games should always have kicked off at the same time and they believe the SPFL have been duplicitous and deceitful. Loathe to be seen criticising the SPFL, SFA chief executive Stewart Regan chose his words carefully, while all but admitting the league had made a complete and utter

Summary: Scottish football coverage is at the mercy of Sky and BT's schedules . Yet, Scottish football is never afforded the same precedence as England's . The demand for Scottish football is nearing an all-time low .


Giant glaciers of ice may be lurking all over Mars, hidden from view by dust on the surface. That’s the surprising conclusion of a study that found that large amounts of ice were not just at the Martian poles, but likely towards the equator as well. It means that, if all ice were to be spread across the surface of Mars, the entire planet would be covered in more than 3.3ft (one metre). This image from Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows that a thick layer of dust on Mars covers the glaciers, so they appear as the surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that there are glaciers composed of frozen water underneath the dust . The latest research was carried out by scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen and published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. Evidence of water on Mars dates back to the Mariner 9 mission, which arrived in 1971. It revealed clues of water erosion in river beds and canyons as well as weather fronts and fogs. Viking orbiters that followed caused a revolution in our ideas about water on Mars by showing how floods broke through dams and carved deep valleys. Mars is currently in the middle of an ice age, so liquid water cannot exist on its surface at the present time. However, the planet seems to have been warmer and wetter in the past. In June 2013, Curiosity found powerful evidence that water good enough to drink once flowed on Mars. In September, the first scoop of soil analysed by Curiosity revealed that fine materials on the surface of the planet contain two per cent water by weight. Images from several Martian satellites had revealed the shape of glaciers just below the surface, and confirmed most were made of water-ice. And now the researchers have measured how big the glaciers are, and their similarity to glaciers on Earth. In total there is more than 150 billion cubic metres of ice on Mars, which could ‘cover the entire surface of Mars with 1.1 metres of ice,’ explained Dr Nanna Bjørnholt Karlsson at the Centre for Ice and Climate at the Niels Bohr Institute. She added that the ice closer to the Martian equator was ‘an important part of Mars’ water reservoir.’ There are thought to be thousands of glacier-like formations on the planet in both the northern and southern hemispheres. They are located on Mars between latitude 30.0 and 50.0 - equivalent to just south of Denmark’s location on Earth. Mars has belts of glaciers at its central latitudes - between the blue lines, in both the southern and northern hemispheres. A thick layer of dust covers the glaciers, so they appear as the surface of the ground, but radar measurements show that there are glaciers composed of frozen water underneath the dust . Using radar measurements (shown) from Nasa's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, researchers have been able to identify thousands of glacier-like formations on Mars. They can see how thick the ice is on the radar images . As the

Summary: Danish scientists studied ice hidden under the surface of Mars . Dust is thought to be covering huge glaciers on the surface . And the researchers say there is more water-ice than anticipated . If spread out it would cover the surface in 3.6ft (1.1 metres) of ice .

The first ever drawing of The Beatles' famous Yellow Submarine which is dubbed the 'holy grail of memorabilia' is set to fetch more than £10,000 at auction. The unique psychedelic cartoon, which is hand-painted, depicts the eponymous submarine from the 1968 film in which the Fab Four travel to Pepperland to save it from the Blue Meanies. The rare celluloid painting, known as a cel, was used as a master version from which artists working on the film created all other images of the wacky vessel. The first ever drawing of The Beatles' famous Yellow Submarine which is dubbed the 'holy grail of memorabilia' is set to fetch more than £10,000 when it is sold at auction in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday . The rare celluloid painting, known as a cel, was used as a master version from which artists working on the Yellow Submarine film created all other images of the wacky vessel. The 1968 film starred The Beatles (above) It features handwritten notes instructing artists on the correct colours to use when recreating the submarine. More than 240 artists and animators worked full time for an entire year to produce the film using revolutionary techniques, and it is credited with helping boost the popularity of animation. Yellow Submarine was a critical success on its release and led onto The Beatles' 10th studio album the following year. The single Yellow Submarine, written by Paul McCartney and sung by Ringo Starr, had featured on the 1967 album Revolver and spent four weeks at the top of the UK charts. Original examples of cels from Yellow Submarine are so sought after that experts have tipped the submarine cartoon to fetch £10,000 when it goes under the hammer on Thursday. Jim Lentz, director of animation art at Heritage Auctions which is hosting the sale in Dallas, Texas, said: 'Yellow Submarine is one of the most important animations of all time.

The animation, which is noted as the first colour Mickey Mouse cartoon, was released in 1935. In the cartoon, Mickey is trying to lead a concert of the William Tell Overture, amid various distractions such as Donald Duck playing the wrong tune on his flute. The cel was sold in a private transaction in 1999 for a reported £280,000 ($420,000). 'The message of the film - all you need is love - is timeless. 'It is incredible to think the

Sam Allardyce has revealed the reason behind his furious rant at fourth official Robert Madley towards the end of West Ham’s defeat at Manchester City on Sunday. The Hammers boss was incensed that Eliaquim Mangala was not penalised for a foul against Stewart Downing, who managed to stay on his feet despite a late challenge from City’s £32million defender. Referee Anthony Taylor took no action as the ball ran out of play and an animated Allardyce vented his fury towards Madley on the touchline. Sam Allardyce gives fourth official Robert Madley a piece of his mind during West Ham's defeat . The Hammers boss also screams at the linesman during the 2-0 loss to Manchester City . Allardyce snarls in frustration alongside Manuel Pellegrini from the touchline at the Etihad . The Upton Park boss launched a tirade at the fourth official before eventually sharing a smile with him . Allardyce cannot resist taking an extended pop at Madley from the sidelines . It was highlighted on Match of the Day but the 60-year-old later questioned whether Downing had paid the price for his honesty instead of taking a fall and earning his team a freekick. ‘Everybody goes on about simulation and players cheating and doing this and that,’ said Allardyce. ‘Mangala comes out and tries to clean out Stewart Downing. ‘Downing stays on his feet and the assistant is one yard off and doesn’t flag for the foul. So what do I say to Stewart Downing? “For God’s sake dive on the floor and get a freekick?” Because we could put the freekick in and get a goal.’ Allardyce was unhappy with Downing for giving away possession in the build-up to City’s second goal scored by Sergio Aguero, having already conceded an own-goal from James Collins. Allardyce was aggrieved because a foul by Eliaquim Mangala on Stewart Downing (not pictured) was missed . Sergio Aguero finished off a fine move to hand the Champions a 2-0 win to get their season back on track . He added: ‘The disappointing thing in the first half was the goals we gifted to City and the amount of possession we allowed ourselves to lose. ‘The two mistakes we make for the goals, one was pretty bizarre and the other unexpected from a player as experienced as Stewart Downing. ‘In the second half eventually changing the system got us going forward, and when we create as good chances as those for Enner Valencia and Kevin Nolan we have to convert them. But the most disappointing thing was the goals we gifted City.’

A white supremacist with a split tongue and 'Satan' tattooed on his face has been sentenced to life in prison for stabbing a black man to death. David Adam Pate from Lancaster, North Carolina, told his mother he enjoyed knifing 33-year-old Ricky James 39 times after luring him into some woods with wine in November 2013. The 25-year-old serial criminal, who pleaded guilty to the murder on Thursday, told police he just wanted to 'cut his dad gum head off,' and that he cut him with a butcher's knife, 'just like the one Michael Myers used in (the movie) Halloween.'

He stuck out his split tongue and revealed a 974 tattoo on his neck - the sign of the white power gang, Gangster Disciples. Emotionless: Prosecutors said Pate deserved to die in prison. He has never offered the James family an apology for the 'senseless and remorseless' act .

He said he tied James with a rope from neck to ankles so that he could drag the body away after the stabbing site, but was too drunk and tired to continue to try and drag James's body to a nearby creek. Prosecutors added they they thought Pate deserved to die behind bars. Solicitor Randy Newman told the court: 'This is an evil man standing before you.

Roman Abramovich has bought Tel Aviv’s Varsano Hotel for 100million Israeli shekels (£17.1m). The Chelsea owner, who frequently visits Tel Aviv on business, is expected to convert the 19th century building into his Israeli home. Covering 1,500 square metres, the hotel complex is listed as a preserved building. It consists of a main building with a large lobby, dining room and two studio suites, and six more bedrooms in three separate villas surrounded by gardens.

The hotel complex, which Abramovich bought, is listed as a preserved building covering 1,500 square meters . Chelsea owner Abramovich is buying the Varsano Hotel from local businessmen Guy and Yaron Varsano . Abramovich finally got his wish after trying to buy a home in the Neve Tzedek quarter of Tel Aviv since 2008 . The purchase includes an adjacent car park, which is already zoned for and has approval for additional building, and will enable Abramovich to expand the premises. Abramovich is buying the Varsano Hotel from local businessmen Guy and Yaron Varsano - the latter is married to Israeli and Hollywood actress Gal Gadot (SuperWoman). Abramovich has been trying to buy a home in the fashionable Neve Tzedek quarter of Tel Aviv since 2008 when he had a $30m (£20.5m) bid for Chelouche House, formerly the neighbourhood school, turned down. Neve Tzedek was built in the late 19th century north of Jaffa, and links the ancient port to Tel Aviv’s financial district, which was built in 1906.

Abramovich owns five luxury homes and a mega-yacht as he continues to grow his impressive empire . Until the 1980s the area was full of slum properties but in recent decades gentrification, together with the Israeli high-tech start-up boom, have seen Neve Tzedek become one of Israel’s most expensive quarters. Businessman Eyal Kamir and real estate agent Oren Katz are understood to have brokered the deal, and Tel Aviv law firm Yigal Arnon & Co acted on behalf of Abramovich. Journalists who phoned the Varsano Hotel were told that it is not taking any more bookings. Abramovich and his wife Dasha Zhukova, who are both Jewish, are frequent visitors to Israel. Only last year, Abramovich made headlines by booking all 111 rooms in an Israeli hotel in the Negev desert to entertain his guests during the Passover holiday, and over the past year he has invested in four Israeli companies. Now Abramovich can host guests in his own hotel. What does the man who has everything get himself?

The lingerie model whose sexy pregnancy selfies turned her into an overnight internet sensation has already snapped the first photo of her trimmed and toned post-baby physique in 'granny panties' - just four days after giving birth to her son.

Many of us are very particular about how strong we like our tea and coffee and the same applies to how hot it has to be. With this in mind, engineers have created a heated mug designed to keep the temperature 'just right' from the first sip to the last drop. Called the Nanoheat Wireless Heated Mug, the $39.99 (£26) gadget can maintain the temperature at around 71°C (160°F) for up to 45 minutes - giving you plenty of time to drink it all. Scroll down for video . The $39.99 (£26) Nanoheat Wireless Heated Mug is fitted with a rchargeable battery, nanoheater and heat sleeve. It can maintain the temperature of hot drinks at between 68°C and 71°C (155 and 160 °F) for up to 45 minutes - giving you plenty of time to drink to finish the beverage before its gets too cold . The Goldilocks principle is a scientific term for when the state of something falls within certain margins, based on the children's story The Three Bears. This principle applies to the Nanoheat Wireless Heated Mug and the margins in this case are between 68°C and 71°C (155 and 160°F). The mug weighs a little over one pound (454g) and can be charged wirelessly or using a traditional USB cord. The Goldilocks principle is a scientific term for when the state of something falls within certain margins, based on the children's story The Three Bears. In the story, Goldilocks finds a house owned by three bears. Each bear has their own preference for porridge and beds and after testing all three she determines that one is too hot, one is too large and baby bear's preference is 'just 'right.' This principle applies to the Nanoheat Wireless Heated Mug and the margins in this case are between 68°C and 71°C (155 and 160°F). It was designed by Michigan-based Design HMI and Green Lama, currently raising funds on Kickstarter to fund production of the mug. The team has raised more than $48,900 (£32,330) of its $120,000 (£79,300) goal so far and backers can pre-order the mug for $30 (£20). If the campaign is successful, the mugs will start shipping in August this year, after which point they will retail for $39.99 (£26). Gita Bedi, president of Green Lama said: 'As an engineering consultant I have been working with innovators on a global basis helping integrate innovations and technologies into consumer products. 'During this period, working from home, I would regularly have cups of coffee. 'As I was working, the coffee would get cold after a few sips [and] I would have to throw the coffee away and leave work to get another cup. Even though I brewed eight to 10 cups,most went to wast . The mug weighs a little over one pound (454g) and can be used up to seven times before it needs to be recharged. A built-in timer automatically turns off the mug if its not used for 30 minutes, to conserve energy. The mug is only available in white, but wireless charging plates are available in

In an unprecedented move, Russia has cancelled the release of a Hollywood thriller set in the Stalin era - claiming it distorts history and would air as the country celebrates its victory over Nazi Germany. The film, 'Child 44', starring Tom Hardy, Vincent Cassel and Gary Oldman, tells the story of a serial killer who targets children in the Stalin era. It is based on a novel by British writer Tom Rob Smith and was due to premiere in Russia today. Scroll down for video . Russian authorities have cancelled the release of Child 44, starring Gary Oldman (left) and Tom Hardy . The Hollywood blockbuster tells the story of a serial killer who targets children in Stalin era Russia . Russia's culture ministry said the film distorted history as it celebrated its victory over Nazi Germany . Russia's culture ministry said the film's distributors in Russia, Central Partnership, had agreed to withdraw a request for a distribution licence after ministry officials viewed the film. 'Films such as 'Child 44' should not go out in our country on mass release, earning money from our cinema audiences, not in the year of the 70th anniversary of victory, not ever,' Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky wrote on the ministry's website. The move to effectively ban a major mainstream Hollywood film just a day before it was due to premiere is unprecedented. In recent years, Russia has cracked down harshly on negative depictions of the Soviet Union during the Stalin era, while criticism of those who fought in the Second World War is taboo. The culture ministry accused the film of 'distortion of historical facts and the idiosyncratic treatment of events before, during and after' the war. The film is set in 1952, a year before Stalin's death, and features a maverick investigator seeking a serial killer, while hindered by official attitudes that such murders are not possible in the Soviet Union. Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky (pictured) condemned the film for its depiction of the horrors of the Stalin regime . 'You realise murder is strictly a capitalist disease,' French star Cassel hisses in a thick Russian accent in the film's English-language trailer. Culture minister Medinsky slammed the film for its depiction of the horrors of the Stalin regime and said it misrepresented a country that was 'one of the world leaders'. The film shows Soviet Army officers as 'blood-thirsty ghouls' randomly shooting people, 'especially gays,' Medinsky complained. Soviet women have to offer them sexual favours or 'be sent, as is customary, to the Gulag,' he added with heavy irony. The decision to pull the film came after the culture ministry on Tuesday gave it a distribution licence with an 18+ certificate. The head of Central Partnership, Pavel Stepanov, issued a statement saying he was 'satisfied' with the film's ban. 'We consider it's important in the future to increase state control over distribution of films that have a socially significant context,' he said. On Tuesday, Kultura state-funded arts newspaper, whose editor is a member of President Vladimir Putin's arts council, published a review of the film

Summary: Russian authorities have cancelled the release of Hollywood's Child 44 . The blockbuster film stars Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman and Vincent Cassel . It depicts a private investigator attempting to hunt down a serial child killer . Russia's culture minister accused the film of 'distortion of historical facts'


Former primary school teacher Mary Cowan, 92, has generously stated in her will that £700,000 of her £2million fortune should be left to charity groups . A teacher who taught at Sir Chris Hoy's former school has left a share of the £2million fortune she made from stocks and shares to help children from poorer backgrounds. Mary Cowan, 92, generously ordered that a large slice of her estate should be given to George Watson's College in Edinburgh where she had devoted years of her life to teaching primary school children. Ms Cowan, of Edinburgh, passed away in November last year but her will revealed she asked for a bursary scheme to be set up in her name at the school where famous faces such as Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy and rugby legend Gavin Hastings were taught. Ms Cowan never married and worked and lived in Edinburgh her whole adult life, retiring from her job at the college in 1981. She started off teaching pupils of primary school age, before working her way up to be assistant headmistress. She was raised with her brother Martin in Kirkcudbrightshire, where her family had lived for generations and ran a grocer shop, before moving to the city where she lived in a modest semi-detached house which sold for £490,000 in 2012. Her published will has now revealed that she had an estate worth nearly £2million and asked that more than £700,000 be given to friends and family. The bulk of her wealth was made up of a stocks and shares portfolio and she left instructions for the remainder to be handed over to good causes. The Mary Cowan Bursary will have funds of around £325,000 and will be used to help current or prospective poorer pupils attend the school. A group of trustees will decide if applicants are successful. Ms Cowan also asked that Falkirk High School be given a share of her estate to set up a fund in memory of her mother called the 'The Jane Martin Waddell Prize' that would see outstanding pupils recognised for academic achievements. Other groups which can expect windfalls include The Royal National Institute of Blind People, Blind Veterans UK, Christian Aid, and The Salvation Army. Morningside Parish Church in Edinburgh, where Ms Cowan was a well-known member of the congregation, Alzheimer Scotland, and The Royal Hospital for Sick Children have also been included in her will.

A 1-year-old girl was shot in the head and left clinging to life as she sat in a car with her parents in what suburban Seattle police initially described as an apparent case of road rage. The baby was in 'very critical condition' Friday, a day after the shooting, said Susan Gregg, a spokeswoman for Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Baby Malaja was in a car seat in the back of a silver Chevrolet Impala and her parents were in the front seat when a black car pulled alongside around at 4.30pm Thursday, Kent police spokeswoman Melanie Robinson said. Scroll down for video . Innocent victim: One-year-old Malaja (left and right) was shot in the head as she sat in a car with her parents in suburban Seattle Thursday afternoon. She remains in critical condition . Target: Police say a black car pulled alongside this silver Chevrolet Impala carrying Malaja and the driver and passenger opened fire, striking the 1-year-old in the head . On the road: The shooting took place at an intersection near an apartment complex in Kent, Washington . Robinson said the driver and passenger of the black car opened fire, then drove off, but police did not give details on the possible conflict between the people in both vehicles. The shooting took place at an intersection near the Lake Fenwick Estates apartment complex in Kent. Detectives in Kent initially suggested road rage as a motive, but Cmdr. Jarod Kasner told The Seattle Times Friday that police no longer think that's the case after further investigation. Police didn't provide further details on what they believe led to the shooting. Police said the shooting was preceded by some sort of an exchange between the occupants of the black sedan and the silver Chevy. Linda Johnston, who lives nearby, ran outside after she heard gunshots. 'I was sitting in my bedroom here and heard the shots. "Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam,"' she told Seattle television station KOMO. 'The baby was on the ground, and other people were doing CPR on the baby, and the mother was in hysterics and the dad was in hysterics, too.' Heart-wrenching: Malaja's relatives, including her aunt (right), were heard sobbing and screaming, including one enraged woman (left) who cried out: 'I want revenge!' Poignant message: The girl's uncle, Edmond McNeil (pictured), called for end of violence in Seattle . On Thursday evening, Malaja's heartbroken family said the toddler was brain dead. The girl's uncle, Edmond McNeil, came up to a KIRO7 reporter outside the hospital and delivered a powerful message on crime in the city. 'We need to stop the Seattle violence,' he said into the camera, appearing shell-shocked. 'We're trying to be living for our kids. Everybody needs to live for your kids... You ain't no gangster because you want to carry a gun. That's stupid.' Malaja's relatives were heard sobbing and screaming, including one enraged woman who cried out: 'I want revenge!'

Manchester City have told Jason Denayer they want him to spend next season in the English Championship. The Belgian defender has been a revelation during his year-long loan move to Celtic. Already a PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year nominee, the Belgian scooped the same honour at Celtic’s annual awards dinner in Glasgow on Sunday. The 19-year-old had consistently stated he intended returning to his parent club this summer to fight for a first-team place but last week changed his tune to give Ronny Deila some hope of retaining his services for another season. Jason Denayer is set to return to England to spend a season on loan in the Championship . At the time, Denayer said: ‘Of course I would be happy to do that. I’ve had a very good year here so far. ‘I would be happy to come back but I will need to wait until the summer to see what is happening. I prefer just to focus on the present.’ Sportsmail understands, however, that City will block any move by Celtic to instigate another one-year deal. Although they feel Denayer isn’t quite ready to push for a first-team place at the Etihad, they want to see him spend a year in the English second tier in order to complete his footballing apprenticeship. The on-loan Manchester City defender has been in impressive form for Celtic since joining the club . The player recently become a full Belgian international – stepping into the breach when Vincent Kompany was red carded during a 1-0 win against Israel in a Euro 2016 qualifier. With Virgil van Dijk very much on Southampton’s radar, Deila faces the prospect of losing both of his centre-halves before the Champions League qualifiers begin in July. Celtic striker John Guidetti, meanwhile, will discover on Thursday if he is to be punished for singing an allegedly ‘offensive’ song about the demise of Old Firm rivals Rangers. Ronny Deila will be disappointed to lose Denayer and he could lose Virgil van Dijk (right) as well . Guidetti was issued with a notice of complaint last month after giving an interview to Dutch TV show FC Rijnmond. It is not clear if Guidetti will appear before the Hampden panel at Thursday’s re-arranged hearing but Celtic have already backed the player. In a statement issued last month, a spokesman for the Parkhead outfit said: ‘We are very surprised and disappointed that this has even found its way to an SFA judicial panel. John Guidetti will be defending this charge.’ John Guidetti faces disciplinary action after singing an offensive song about rivals Rangers . Guidetti made a sensational start to his Celtic switch, scoring 11 goals in his first 12 games after moving north from the Etihad Stadium. But his form has been patchy since and he was left on the bench by boss Ronny Deila on Sunday as the Hoops took another step towards their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title with a 3-0 Tannadice win over Dundee United.

A café in eastern China has started to charge customers an 'air-purifying fee' on top of normal bills after it installed machines to provide fresher air. The café manager said the shop has begun operating eight air purifiers 24 hours a day. By charging a one yuan (11p) 'air-purifying fee' per person, the café hopes customers will pay more attention to the growing pollution issue facing China, reported the People's Daily Online. Fantasy Café is one of the first establishments in China to start charging an 'air-purifying fee' A label is put on every table to alert customers about the surcharge which costs 11p per person . The two-storey Fantasy Café is located in downtown Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang Province. The decision has proved popular among customers, who are mainly students and white collar workers. Many say they are happy to pay extra for breathing healthier air while enjoying coffee and meals. A label is put on every table stating clearly that there is an air-purifying surcharge. 'As soon as the customers come in, we will make it clear that there will be a one yuan surcharge for cleaner air,' said manager, Mr Sun, toHangzhou Network. 'If the customers can't accept it, they can choose not to come,' he added. A customer told the same reporter: 'I think this is a new way of running business. I feel more comfortable eating my meal here with so many purifiers in operation.' The café opened in July last year and offers various Western drinks and snacks, such as latte (£4), tiramisu coffee (£5), Spanish cured meat platter (£18) and pan-fried foie gras (£9.60). Serving a variety of Western drinks and foods, the café is popular among young people . Owner Zhu Ze, 50, bought the air purifiers earlier this year for around 100,000 yuan (£1,080). Mr Zhu told Hangzhou Network that his business has grown dramatically since he started using the devices. 'My goal is to remind my customers that we spent a lot of effort on providing fresh air,' he added. Customers say they are happy to pay extra for breathing healthy air while enjoying coffee and meals . Like other cities in China, Hangzhou – which is surrounded by some of the finest landscapes in China, such as the West Lake – has been battling with air pollution. The city of nine million suffered heavy smog on 154 days in 2014. According to People's Daily Online, Hangzhou ranks number one in China in terms of vehicles per capita. The city's 1.26 million automobiles are the main cause of the poor air quality. Earlier this month, Chinese state media published a set of stunning aerial pictures which show the hundreds of thousands of vehicles thrown on the scrap heap in a sprawling 'car graveyard' as Hangzhou government aggressively aims to cut back emissions.

Didier Drogba was utterly exhausted and emotionally drained as he and John Terry held each other up through a post-match flash interview. It was as if these two warriors might collapse on camera if either of them moved, so they clung on and spoke happily if wearily after supplying the goals which fuelled this fight-back at Leicester.

But he and Terry are not shaped that way and the pride burned through their yellow shirts as they led their team-mates to salute three thousand noisy Chelsea supporters in the corner of the King Power Stadium. They had trailed to a goal from Marc Albrighton after a slightly lethargic first-half display but came out inspired and soon levelled through Drogba, before Terry put the Londoners ahead, 12 minutes from time, and Ramires curled the third into the top corner. The strike by Ramires triggered an ironic chorus of 'Boring Boring Chelsea' from the visiting fans and they sang long into the night, aware that their team can be crowned champions on Sunday at Stamford Bridge if they beat Crystal Palace.

A Canadian man found a novel way to take in the sights while travelling across country, by taking an rocking chair with him. Kalman Kallai enjoyed the spectacular Canadian scenery from the comfort of a green chair while journeying from Borden, Ontario to Comox, British Columbia for work purposes. Calculating that the drive would take him across a colossal 2,796 miles (4500km) of land, Mr Kallai believed that his journey would be more interesting if he used it as an opportunity to see more of his country. The traveller sits before corn, a café, boats and water, before he is featured rocking and making gestures with his hand . Mr Kallai and a friend mimic the planes that fly past at the beginning of the traveller's adventure . After picking up a green rocking chair that he acquired for free from online advertisement site Kijiji, the traveller attached his trailer and set off on the nine-day journey. The video begins with Mr Kallai carrying his chair to a wooded area, before placing it down and taking a seat. He wears a green hoody, blue jacket and hat – clothing items that remain a running theme throughout the course of the video. Mr Kallai travelled from Borden, Ontario to Comox, British Columbia for work purposes . Sat rocking on his chair watching a number of aeroplanes taking off – perhaps at this point wishing he was on one himself – the traveller is joined by a friend. The pair sit and mimic the plane’s wings before shaking hands and waving goodbye to one another, to allow Mr Kallai to continue his adventure on his own. The traveller is then sat before corn, a café, boats and water, before he is featured rocking and making gestures with his hands. The traveller wears a green hoody, blue jacket and hat in every clip of himself in the video . Mr Kallai takes time to pose precariously on a river bed while journeying across Canada .

QPR boss Chris Ramsey believes Sunday's west London derby is more crucial to his side than it is to title-chasing Chelsea. Jose Mourinho's Blues visit Loftus Road looking for a win that will maintain their position as firm favourites to claim the Premier League crown - whilst QPR need the points in their own battle to avoid dropping out of the division all together.

'We all know what it means to the supporters - at this stage of the season, with what is at stake for both teams, it gives it added spice.' Charlie Austin celebrates with Matt Phillips after scoring during QPR's 3-3 draw with Aston Villa on Tuesday . Defender Clint Hill, who scored in Tuesday night's 3-3 draw at Aston Villa, enjoyed the taste of victory in his first west London derby when QPR won 1-0 at home to Chelsea in 2011.

'I think we shocked them that day,' he told Hoops Player. 'If we can show the same desire both on and off the pitch then hopefully we can get a result again. Nobody expects us to win but we believe we can give them a game. 'We are playing Chelsea who are top of the Premier League and if you can't get up for that challenge then there's something wrong.'

College basketball player Lauren Hill lost her battle with cancer on Friday morning, aged just 19. The Indiana native, who was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer shortly after her 18th birthday, had defied doctors' expectations after they told her that she would not live past December. Instead, she played four games with her team at Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati and raised more than $1.5 million for research into the cancer, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. But as her condition worsened, she became an honorary coach and earlier this year, she moved to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where she passed away on Friday morning. Scroll down for video . Loss: Lauren Hill, who is pictured playing for Mount St. Joseph University in Cincinnati in November, died in hospital on Friday - aged just 19 - after a brave battle with a rare form of brain cancer . Just a year and a half ago, Hill was just another high school student getting ready for college after she decided to play basketball at Mount St. Joseph. A few weeks later, she started experiencing dizziness while playing for her high school team in nearby Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Tests found the tumor and she was told that she had less than two years left. But in September, doctors told her she wouldn't make it past December - and after years as a standout high school basketball player, Hill's hopes of playing college ball were put in jeopardy. But the NCAA granted permission to move the school's opening game forward because of her worsening condition, and on November 2, she realized her dream of playing for the school. She scored the first and last baskets of the team's 66-55 victory over Hiram College. 'It's a dream come true,' she said. 'To play on a college court, to put my foot down on the floor and hear the roar of the crowd - I just love it so much. I love basketball. 'Everything that happened today was amazing.

As the weather gets warmer many of us will dust off our large and cumbersome bladed fans. But Panasonic has developed a lighter, smaller and more powerful alternative that can blow out seven times more air than it sucks in. The Sokaze-ki Q uses fluid dynamics to take air in at the rear of the 10-inch (25cm) device, move it through specially designed channels before blasting it from the front via a turbofan. Panasonic Japan, which designed the device, said that once the turbofan has moved the air flow to the front of the device, a 'high-pressure jet airflow' creates straight, direct blasts of air. Alternatively, the Q has a '1/f fluctuation' function that reduces the force of the air flow, and sends 'natural wind' that mimics outside breeze . These channels have been designed to reduce how much drag the air flow is subjected to as it moves through the 'ball'. And the holes have been designed in such a way so that the flow collects additional air at is leaves the device to boost its trajectory and output. In particular, there is a central outlet. Air is drawn into the 'Q' using small inlets on the rear and are driven by the so-called impellers, or bladed fins. This airflow pulls in additional air using the large round air inlets plotted around the Q, and all of this is released through the main outlet. The Sokaze-ki Q (pictured) uses fluid dynamics to take air in small inlets on the rear before it is moved using so-called impellers through specially designed channels. This airflow pulls in additional air from air inlets plotted around the Q, and all of this is released through the main outlet . The fan is on sale in Japan for ¥39,350 (£220) and is available in Crystal Red, Champagne Gold (pictured) and Pearl White. It is powered by a DC motor and comes with an Off Timer for between one and three hours .

One of America's greatest poets was honored by the US Postal Service in a star-studded ceremony on Tuesday. Maya Angelou, the acclaimed author of such classics as I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings and On the Pulse of Morning, which she read at Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993, was issued a Forever stamp in honor of her many achievements and contributions. First Lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey were just two of the big names in attendance for the unveiling which gave the public a first look at the stamp, which features a picture of Angelou's face and one of her many memorable quotes. The problem however, is that the featured quote came from another author. Scroll down for video . A quote attributed to Maya Angelou on her commemorative stamp released by the US Postal Service is actually that of another writer . The stamp was unveiled Tuesday at an event featuring First Lady Michelle Obama and Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan (above) Maya Angelou, the acclaimed author of such classics as I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings and On the Pulse of Morning, was issued the Forever stamp for her contributions to the arts and this country . 'A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song,' reads the stamp, a quote that has long been attributed to Angelou, with President Obama even using the famous line as he honored the poet at the 2013 National Medal of Arts and National Humanities Medal. What's more, The Washington Post found proof of an interview in which Angelou herself used the quote. Joan Walsh Anglund wrote in her 1967 book A Cup of Sun; 'A bird doesn’t sing because he has an answer, he sings because it has a song.' A few years before this quote first appeared though in 1969 with the publication of Angelou's aforementioned autobiography I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings, it was used in a children's book by another American author. Joan Walsh Anglund, now 89, wrote in her 1967 book A Cup of Sun; 'A bird doesn’t sing because he has an answer, he sings because it has a song.' In a statement released shortly after the origin of the quote was revealed, Postal Service spokesperson Mark Saunders said; 'The Postal Service used her widely recognized quote to help build an immediate connection between her image and her 1969 nationally recognized autobiography, ‘I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.' Saunders later added in an email to the Post that had they been aware of this fact they would have selected another of Angelou's famous lines. Angelou, who was born into poverty, holding down jobs as a fry cook, singer, and at one point even a prostitute, passed away last May. She was 86-years-old at the time, and had written, among other works, seven autobiographies, countless poems, and numerous scripts for theater, television and film. She also continued to teach throughout her life, spending the last four decades of her life as a professor at Wake Forest in
