Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai has become the latest recipient of the Tipperary International Peace Award on Tuesday.
The 16-year-old education activist was attacked by Taliban gunmen last October after she campaigned for girls to go to school without fear in a part of the country where fundamentalists had once imposed strict Sharia law.
The Tipperary Peace Convention recognised the teenager's courage, determination and perseverance, along with the impact she has had on so many people across the world.
Peace Convention secretary Martin Quinn said he was delighted that Malala had agreed to accept the award in person in Co Tipperary.
"We are really looking forward to receiving her and presenting her with this well-deserved accolade," he said.
"Malala now joins the illustrious list of past recipients of the peace prize, which includes former prime minister of Pakistan, the late Benazir Bhutto."
Since the age of 11, Malala had been secretly writing a blog for a media outlet which described the struggles faced by girls trying to receive an education under the Taliban.
When her identity was uncovered, a Taliban militia boarded her school bus and shot her at point blank range in the head. Malala was hit just above her left eye by a bullet which grazed the edge of her brain.
She was eventually airlifted to Britain and treated at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, where she had a titanium plate and cochlear implant fitted.
She was visited by the president of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, in hospital.
The teenager, from the town of Mingora in the Swat district of Pakistan, has remained in the UK where she returned to school in March and continues to campaign for every child's right to education, including joining a campaign led by Plan Ireland.
Mike Mansfield, of Plan Ireland, said Malala's story has struck a chord across the world.
"This young campaigner has become an inspiration to millions," he said. "This is an extraordinary, brave young women who, when faced with death, refused to give up and refused to be silent.
"However, we must not forget there are millions of 'other Malalas' across the world; a whole generation of girls and boys who are excluded daily from learning by violence, discrimination or harmful traditional practices.
"Plan is working with these 'other Malalas', the one in five girls globally who are denied an education or the one in three girls every second who is forced to enter a child marriage."
Malala, who has been called the world's most influential teenager, is a nominee for this year's Nobel Peace Prize.
The Tipperary accolade was established in the early 1980s for an individual who has made a special contribution to the cause of peace is selected and honoured.
Previous recipients include former South African president Nelson Mandela, former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev and ex-US president Bill Clinton.
Last year's recipients were former president of Ireland Professor Mary McAleese and her husband Senator Martin McAleese.

Simon Bird confirms Inbetweeners Movie sequel
Simon Bird has confirmed that a sequel to The Inbetweeners Movie will happen.
In May the show's official Facebook group was used to deny stories that the film would be set in Australia and to clarify that, although there was an intention to make another film, contracts with the cast had not yet been confirmed.
Bird's latest comments suggest that he, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison have now signed up for the film - but also that fans will have to wait for the movie, as it will take some time to produce.
The actor, who plays Will in the hit comedy franchise, told What's On TV: "Yes we are doing another movie, but writing it takes a lot longer than people assume. When the last movie was such a success, people think you can just go ahead and do another just like it straight away. But the writers have to have time to work on the script and come up with ideas."
He added: "I also think us actors wanted just a little bit of a break."
Rumours of a sequel has circulated ever since the 2011 film, which was written by Damon Beesley and Iain Morris, broke British comedy box office records by taking over £13m on its opening weekend.
The success of the comedy has changed the lives of the four main cast members, but Bird pointed out that, at first, the show didn't look like it was going to be a hit. He explained: "The first series wasn't watched by that many, and there wasn't a particularly big reaction to it at the beginning, so after the first series we all went back to our jobs - Joe to tutoring, myself to doing my PHD, James was fitting kitchens, while Blake worked at the scare chamber at Madame Tussauds. Then the buzz started and it was all change..."
Bird was talking at the launch of Chickens, a new comedy in which he and fellow Inbetweeners star Simon Bird play men avoiding fighting in the First World War. The sitcom will begin on Sky1 this August.
Further detail about the second Inbetweeners film has not been released as the project is still in development.

Lightning to buy out Lecavalier's contract
The Lightning announced Thursday that they will buy out the remaining portion of the center's contract.
"Vinny has been a significant reason for many of our past successes, including the 2004 Stanley Cup, and his contributions to the community are immeasurable," Tampa general manager Steve Yzerman said in a statement. "The Lightning organization is indebted to Vinny; we thank him for all he has done here and we wish him well as he moves forward."
"After much internal deliberation, we believe this will prove to be a pivotal move for us as we strive to achieve our long term goal of competing at the highest level, year-in, year-out," Yzerman said. "The economics and structure of the CBA are necessitating this decision and we at the Lightning are excited at the newly created opportunities this presents to us."
He led the league in scoring with 52 in 2006-07.

Descent Notes
Scramble over the summit to find the road the head L until you find the sign-posted track down Central Gully.
It is also possible to cross the ridge and downclimb to Missing Link then descend via Ali's.
Either way it's a bit of an epic but DO NOT attempt the rap down Major Mitchell Gully. The pin is old and dodgy.

Mount Arapiles is first and foremost a trad climbing area. The few sport climbs tend to be in the higher grades where no natural pro is available.
Bolting, particularly retro-bolting, is discouraged and should only be undertaken after extensive consultation with the local climbers, first ascensionists, etc. Inappropriately placed bolts have been chopped.

Rory Kleinveldt took three top-order wickets to help pull South Africa back into contention in the second test by restricting Australia to 111-5 at stumps, a lead of 273 with two days to play.
The Australians had a 162-run cushion after dismissing South Africa for 388 on day three, and were coasting at 77 without loss in the second innings until Kleinveldt struck.
The second-test paceman dismissed David Warner (41) and Rob Quiney (0) within three balls and then bowled Ed Cowan (29) as Australia slipped to 91-3. Dale Steyn chipped in with the wicket of Ricky Ponting (16), who dragged a wide ball back onto his stumps to make it 98-4.
Night watchman Peter Siddle faced 16 balls before he was caught behind off Morne Morkel as the Australians slipped to 103-5, bringing Mike Hussey to the crease to rejoin Clarke.
The pair put on 272 for the fifth wicket on day one to help Australia to 550 in the first innings. It was a day of wild momentum swings, with South Africa losing 5-17 in a morning session collapse and Australia losing 5-26 late.
After resuming Saturday at 217-2, South Africa lost established batsmen Jacques Rudolph (29) and Graeme Smith (122) on 233, then needed a 93-run eighth-wicket stand between a wounded Jacques Kallis (58) and test rookie du Plessis (78) to take the threat of the follow-on out of the equation.
Kallis, who injured his right hamstring bowling on the first morning, came in at No. 9 and stroked 11 boundaries and a six before he was caught behind off the part-time spin of left-armer Michael Clarke.
Du Plessis scored 78 from 159 balls and was chasing runs in the last-wicket stand when he miscued to Clarke at short mid-on with the total at 388, giving Ben Hilfenhaus figures of 3-49 in 20 overs.
Nathan Lyon (2-91) and Peter Siddle (2-130) shouldered the bulk of the overs and took two wickets apiece. Siddle had Smith caught behind to a very feint edge and trapped AB de Villiers (1) lbw in front of middle and leg - both batsmen having their referrals rejected by TV umpire Asad Rauf and leaving South Africa without any reviews in the innings.
Siddle had troubled Smith with a bouncer when he was on 118 and then the South African skipper's luck ran out in his next over.
Hilfenhaus did the job with Australia's second new ball when he had Steyn (1) caught at second slip by Ponting in the 83rd over and bowled Kleinveldt in the 85th. Kallis ducked under a bouncer from Hilfenhaus on the first ball he faced.
The 37-year-old allrounder was clearly restricted by the leg injury that has meant he hasn't been able to field since the 17th over of the match. After facing 93 balls, Kallis eventually tried to sweep against Clarke and the ball clipped his glove as it carried down leg-side to Matt Wade - the Australians getting the decision on review after Bowden rejected their appeal. Injuries to Kallis and Australian paceman James Pattinson could have a big impact on the end of the match. Pattinson left the field after bowling just one delivery on Saturday and went to a hospital for scans on his injured left side.
Results weren't likely before Sunday, when Australia may need him to bat. He will also leave a big void if he's unable to bowl in the fourth innings, with top-ranked South Africa proving on their last test tour here that they're dangerous when digging themselves out of trouble against Australia. Kallis won't bowl in Adelaide, but may need to bat again.
Kleinveldt didn't pick up a wicket on debut in the drawn first test at Brisbane last week and was initially left out of the lineup for the Adelaide match, but was reinstated when Vernon Philander withdrew due to a bad back. He proved his worth when he started swinging the ball around late on Sunday.
In the over after Cowan had a big reprieve - caught at short cover off a no-ball from Imran Tahir on 26, denying the legspinner his first wicket of the series - Warner got a leading edge to a Kleinveldt ball and lobbed a simple catch to Faf du Plessis in the covers. Quiney was out second ball, giving him a pair of ducks for the match before Cowan was bowled by a ball that swung late.
With another hot day expected Sunday, the pitch is expected to deteriorate and make batting difficult if the match gets to the last day.
South Africa only needs to draw the series to retain its No. 1 ranking, while Australia needs to win it to overhaul them.

Giants prospect outfielder Mac Williamson to undergo Tommy John surgery
Apr 28, 2014, 11:27 PM EDT
Bad news for one of the Giants' top prospects, as Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that outfielder Mac Williamson will undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow tomorrow.
Williamson has been bothered by the elbow injury all spring. The 23-year-old was originally expected to begin the season with Double-A Richmond, but the Giants sent him back to High-A San Jose so he could serve exclusively as a designated hitter. However, he couldn't play through the discomfort any longer. Position players often return from Tommy John surgery more quickly than pitchers, but the surgery is expected to end his season.
Williamson was a third-round pick in 2012 and batted .292/.375/.504 with 25 home runs and 10 stolen bases over 136 games last season in High-A. Baseball America ranked him as the Giants' No. 5 prospect over the winter.

Transgender Girl Catrina Best to Undergo Sex Change to Look Like One Direction Star Harry Styles

By Simi John | November 20, 2012 7:50 PM EST
A British woman is planning to undergo sex change surgery to look like One Direction star Harry Styles.
Catrina Best, who lives in Portugal but was born in Northern Ireland, has already started wearing the same Calvin Klein underpants sported by Styles, and copying his trademark floppy hair.
Best, 20, who has been diagnosed as transgender, told Closer magazine that "dressing as Harry made me feel confident, so I copied his hair too. I spend 30 minutes every day perfecting the "Harry look".
The law student admitted that she has felt different since the age of five and continued to struggle with her identity as a teenager in later years, often leading to depression.
"I didn't fancy boys but felt confused. I later realised I wanted to be with girls but as the male in a straight relationship," she said.
Best believes that"Harry's the perfect boy and I think I'm a good lookalike. I love the attention I get from girls."
However, she is now saving up for the operation and intends to take hormones which will give her facial hair and deepen her voice. She is even hoping to bag a girlfriend after the surgery.
"People say my bone structure, eyes and lips are almost identical to Harry's. I haven't started dating yet but girls flirt with me and I even get chatted up by older women, like Harry does. But I want to have my op before I date".
Hopefully, Best won't be taking dating tips and advices from Styles. Recently, the 18-year-old singer has admitted that he was terrified the first time he had sex and was convinced his partner was pregnant afterwards.
"The first time I had sex, I was scared I got the girl pregnant," the teen confessed, adding, "And that was despite the fact we were safe. Luckily, we were fine. I would never risk not wearing a condom. It's too much of a risk... If you're not ready for a child, then don't risk it."

U.S. prosecutors 'close to making arrests' in global rate-fixing scandal
U.S. prosecutors and European regulators are close to arresting individual traders and charging them with colluding to manipulate global benchmark interest rates.
Federal prosecutors in Washington DC have recently contacted lawyers representing some of the individuals under suspicion to notify them that criminal charges and arrests could be imminent, according to people familiar with a sweeping investigation into the rate-rigging scandal.
Defense lawyers, some of whom represent individuals under suspicion, said prosecutors have indicated they plan to begin making arrests and filing criminal charges in the next few weeks.
Manipulation: A trader on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange is seen while prosecutors say they are close to arresting individual traders accused of manipulating global benchmark interest rates
The prospect of charges and arrests of individuals means that prosecutors are getting a fuller picture of how traders at major banks allegedly sought to influence the London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, and other global rates that underpin hundreds of trillions of dollars in assets.
The criminal charges would come alongside efforts by regulators to punish major banks with fines, and could show that the alleged activity was not rampant in the banks.
Settlement: Rob Diamond, the former President of Barclays Bank, resigned after outrage over a settlement of $453 million in fines and penalties to settle allegations of employees trying to manipulate key interest rates
'The individual criminal charges have no impact on the regulatory moves against the banks,' said a European source familiar with the matter. 'But banks are hoping that at least regulators will see that the scandal was mainly due to individual misbehavior of a gang of traders.'
In Europe, financial regulators are focusing on a ring of traders from several European banks who allegedly sought to rig benchmark interest rates such as Libor, the source added.
Regulators are said to be

is not clear what individuals and banks federal prosecutors are most
focused on. A top U.S. Department of Justice lawyer overseeing the
investigation did not respond to a request for a comment.
Reuters previously reported that more than a dozen current and former employees of several large banks are under investigation, including Barclays, UBS and Citigroup, and have hired defense lawyers over the past year as a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., continues to gather evidence.
Those involved: Traders at the New York Stock Exchange are seen while prosecutors plan to begin making arrests and filing criminal charges in the next few weeks
The activity in the Libor investigation, which has been going on for three years, has quickened since Barclays agreed last month to pay $453 million in fines and penalties to settle allegations with regulators and prosecutors that some of its employees tried to manipulate key interest rates from 2005 through 2009.
Barclays, which signed a non-prosecution agreement with U.S. prosecutors, is the first major bank to reach a settlement in the investigation, which also is looking at the activities of employees at HSBC, Deutsche Bank and other major banks.
The Barclays settlement sparked outrage and a series of public hearings in Britain, after which Barclays Chief Executive Bob Diamond announced his resignation from the big British bank.
The revelations have raised questions about the integrity of Libor, which is used as benchmark in setting prices for loans, mortgages and derivative contracts.
Adding to concerns are documents released by the New York Federal Reserve Bank this month that show bank regulators in the United States and England had some knowledge that bankers were submitting misleading Libor bids during the 2008 financial crisis to make their financial institutions appear stronger than they really were.
Arrests: UBS equities trader Kweku Adoboli in central London pleaded not guilty in January to losing 2.25 billion US dollars in fraudulent trades in London. Employees at Barclays Plc, UBS and Citigroup are accused in the current scandal
Among other details, the Fed documents included the transcript of an April 2008 phone call between a Barclays trader in New York and Fed official Fabiola Ravazzolo, in which the unidentified trader said: 'So, we know that we're not posting um, an honest LIBOR.'
The source familiar with the regulatory investigation in Europe said two traders who have been suspended from Deutsche Bank were among those being investigated. A Deutsche Bank spokesman declined to comment.
The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that regulators were looking at suspected communication among four traders who had worked at Barclays, Credit Agricole, HSBC and Deutsche Bank.
Credit Agricole said it had not been accused of any wrongdoing related to the attempted manipulation of Libor by Barclays, but had responded to requests for information for various authorities related to the matter.
Beyond regulatory penalties and criminal charges, banks face a growing number of civil lawsuits from cities, companies and financial institutions claiming they were harmed by rate manipulation. Morgan Stanley recently estimated that the 11 global banks linked to the Libor scandal may face $14 billion in regulatory and legal settlement costs through 2014.
In the United States, the regulatory investigation is being led by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which has made the Libor probe one of its top priorities.

Pilot killed as two Su-27 fighters collide southeast of Moscow
MOSCOW, August 16 (RIA Novosti) - One of three pilots rehearsing a flight of two Su-27 fighters ahead of MAKS-2009 air show was killed as the military aircraft collided southeast of Moscow on Sunday, a Defense Ministry source said.
The pilot has been identified as Igor Tkachenko, commander of Russia's famous aerobatic team, Russkiye Vityazi.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev expressed his condolences to Tkachenko's family.
Russian Air Force commander, Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin, has left for the scene.
Prosecutors from the Moscow Military District have already launched a probe into the crash.
The accident may have been caused by a flying skill error, according to a Defense Ministry source.
One of the two surviving pilots has been hospitalized with spinal fracture, the police said. No information is so far available on the condition of the third pilot.
A local police spokesman also said five civilians had been hospitalized with injuries as the jets crashed into adjacent summer cottages.
The accident will not delay the MAKS-2009 show slated for August 18, the organizer said on Sunday.
"The MAKS [air show] will not be postponed. Although there may be changes to the program of flights, all aerobatic teams - three Russian and two foreign ones - will perform," said Vladimir Borisov, general director of the Aviasalon firm.
