Religious conversion 
 Religious conversion is the adoption of a new religious identity, or a change from one religious identity to another. "
Religious conversion 
 Conversion" can take place not only from one religion to another, but also between different denominations, within the same faith, when this involves a felt change of spiritual identity rather than other reasons such as convenience.

Radical (Chinese character) 
 A Chinese radical (Chinese: 部首; pinyin: bùshǒu; "section header") is the part of a Chinese character used to list the character in a Chinese dictionary.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 The radical is usually a semantic indicator: a piece that gives hints to the reader about what the whole character means.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 This means  "section header", which refers to the place where a character is listed in the dictionary.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Radicals are typically simpler characters, or different variants of simpler characters, which combine with other radicals to make a more complex character.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 People can only make so many unique ideographs for the huge number of words and morphemes that make up a language.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Combining already existing ideographs together to form a compound ideograph is a very convenient solution to make many more words.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 While there are thousands of Chinese characters (well over 45,000) that exist, it is said that nearly all characters used in daily life are made up of just 214 radicals.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 One example of simpler characters combining to form a more complex one is the complex character 明 míng meaning "bright" or "tomorrow", which is made up of the radicals 日 rì meaning "sun" or "day" and 月 yuè meaning "moon" or "month", both of which are simple characters that can exist by themselves, and the putting together of sun 日 and moon 月 to make one character show that either the sun and moon pass before tomorrow comes, or that they are the bright objects in the sky that shine light on the earth.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 An example of characters with radicals that don't exist by themselves is the complex character 休 xìu meaning "to stop", “to cease” or "to rest", which is made up of the radical 亻, which is a variant of the simple character 人 rén meaning "person" or "human", though the variant never exists as by itself must therefore attach itself to another character to form a complete character, and the radical 木 mǔ meaning "wood" or "tree", hinting what a person might want to do after he/she ceases working (like lying on a tree).
Radical (Chinese character) 
 A more complex is the character 媽 mā meaning “mother” (shown right), in which the left part 女 nǚ meaning "woman" or "female"  happens to be the semantic component, and also the section header under which dictionaries list the graph.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Some are based on phonetics, or hint as the character's pronunciation, like the right part 馬 mǎ meaning "horse" of the character 媽.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Although the meaning of the character 媽 has no clear, obvious connection to a horse, 馬 is included to help the reader remember its pronunciation.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Other section headers are merely chosen for convenience of finding the character in a dictionary, and play neither a semantic nor a phonetic role, like 二 èr "two" in 亞 yà "second" or "inferior",亅 jué (no meaning) in 了 liào "past tense marker", and 一 yī "one" in 丁 dīng "fourth".
Radical (Chinese character) 
 These two meanings of “radical” are not synonymous, though they may coincide in a particular example, causing a lot of confusion. (
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Chinese character components, whether semantic or phonetic in role, are the building blocks for all Chinese Hanzi as well as in the derived forms of Japanese Kanji, Korean Hanja, and Vietnamese Chữ nôm and Chữ nho.
Radical (Chinese character) 
 Section headers are foundationally important for the organisation and use of Hanzi, Kanji, and Hanja dictionaries.

 He was Deputy Leader of the Liberals in the House of Lords 1965-1988 and spokesman on foreign affairs and defence.
Gladwyn Jebb 
 An supporter of the European Union, he served as a Member of the European Parliament 1973-1976 where he was also the Vice-President of the Parliament's Political Committee.
Gladwyn Jebb 
 When asked why he had joined the Liberal party in the early 1960s, he replied that the Liberals were a party without a general and that he was a general without a party.
Gladwyn Jebb 
 Jebb's wife, Cynthia, Lady Gladwyn, was a noted diarist of their times in Paris and a hostess of Liberal and London politics.
Trygve Lie 
 He joined the Labour Party in 1911 and was named as the party's national secretary soon after getting his law degree from the University of Oslo in 1919.
Trygve Lie 
 He was appointed Minister of Justice when a Labour Party government was formed by Johan Nygaardsvold in 1935.
Trygve Lie 
 In 1940, when Norway was invaded by Germany, Lie ordered all Norwegian ships to sail to Allied ports.
Trygve Lie 
 Lie led the Norwegian delegation (group) to the United Nations conference in San Francisco in 1946 and was a leader in drafting the rules to set up the United Nations Security Council.
Trygve Lie 
 On February 1, 1946, he was elected as the first United Nations Secretary-General as a result of a compromise between the major powers, having only missed being elected President of the first General Assembly by a small margin.
Trygve Lie 
 He gets much of the credit for securing the current site for the United Nations headquarters from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and establishing the offices there.
Trygve Lie 
 He attracted the anger of the Soviet Union when he helped gather support for the defence of South Korea after it was invaded in 1950 and later worked to end the Soviet boycott of UN meetings, though his involvement has only little to do with the eventual return of the Soviet Union to the UN.
Trygve Lie 
 He was opposed to Spain's entry into the United Nations because of his opposition to the Franco government.
Trygve Lie 
 He also sought to have the People's Republic of China recognized by the United Nations after the Nationalist government was exiled to Taiwan, arguing that the People's Republic was the only government which could fulfill the membership obligations in full.
Trygve Lie 
 He has been criticized for his failures to facilitate negotiation in the Berlin Blockade, as well as his failure to bring about a more swift end to the Korean War.
Trygve Lie 
 Over objections from the Soviet Union, his term of office was extended by the General Assembly 46 - 5 in 1950.
Trygve Lie 
 This was the result of a Security Council impasse, in which the US refused to accept any candidate but Lie, and the Soviet Union's absolute refusal to accept him again, due to his involvement in the Korean War.
Trygve Lie 
 The Soviet Union refused to acknowledge him as secretary general in his second term, and after having been accused by Joseph McCarthy of hiring "disloyal" Americans (an allegation which he attributed to the rapid hiring of civil servants necessary after the creation of the organization), Lie resigned on November 10, 1952.
Trygve Lie 
 He was the Governor of Oslo and Akershus, Chairman of the Board of Energy, Minister of the Interior, and Minister of Trade.

U Thant 
 U Thant  (22 January 1909 – 25 November 1974) was a Burmese diplomat and the third Secretary-General of the United Nations, from 1961 to 1971.
U Thant 
 When U Nu became the Prime Minister of the newly independent Burma, he asked Thant to join him in Rangoon and appointed him as Director of Broadcasting in 1948.
U Thant 
 In the following year he was appointed Secretary to the Government of Burma in the Ministry of Information.
U Thant 
 He also took part in a number of international conferences and was the secretary of the first Asian-African summit in 1955 at Bandung, Indonesia which gave birth to the Non-Aligned Movement.
U Thant 
 From 1957 to 1961, he was Burma's Permanent Representative (Ambassador) to the United Nations, and became actively involved in negotiations over Algerian independence.
U Thant 
 In 1960 the Burmese government awarded him the title Maha Thray Sithu as a commander in the Pyidaungsu Sithu Thingaha Order (similar to an order of knights).
U Thant 
 Thant began serving as Acting Secretary-General from November 3, 1961, when he was unanimously appointed by the General Assembly, on the recommendation of the Security Council, to fill the unexpired term of Dag Hammarskjöld.
U Thant 
 He was then unanimously appointed Secretary-General by the General Assembly on November 30, 1962 for a term of office ending on November 3, 1966.
U Thant 
 During this first term he was widely credited for his role in defusing the Cuban Missile Crisis and for ending the civil war in the Congo.
U Thant 
 U Thant was appointed to a second term as Secretary-General of the United Nations by the General Assembly on December 2, 1966 on the unanimous recommendation of the Security Council.
U Thant 
 During his time in office, he oversaw the entry into the UN of dozens of new Asian and African states and was a firm opponent of apartheid in South Africa.
U Thant 
 He also established many of the UN's development and environmental agencies, funds and programmes, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the UN University, UNCTAD, UNITAR and the United Nations Environment Programme.
U Thant 
 He had also led many successful though now largely forgotten peace making efforts, for example in Yemen in 1962 and Bahrain in 1968.
U Thant 
 In each case, war would have provoked a wider regional conflict, and it was Thant's quiet mediation which prevented war.
U Thant 
 Unlike his two predecessors, Thant retired after ten years on speaking terms with all the big powers.
U Thant 
 In 1961 when he was first appointed, the Soviet Union had tried to insist on a troika formula of three Secretaries-General, one representing each Cold War bloc, something which would have maintained equality in the United Nations between the superpowers.
U Thant 
 By 1966, when Thant was reappointed, all the big powers, in a unanimous vote of the Security Council, affirmed the importance of the Secretary-Generalship and his good offices, a clear tribute to Thant's work.
U Thant 
 The Six Day War between Arab countries and Israel, the Prague Spring and subsequent Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 leading to the birth of Bangladesh all took place during his time as Secretary-General.
U Thant 
 He was widely criticized in the US and Israel for agreeing to pull UN troops out of the Sinai in 1967 in response to a request from Egyptian President Nasser.
U Thant 
 U Thant tried to persuade Nasser not to go to war with Israel by flying to Cairo in a last minute peace effort.

 His once good relationship with the US government deteriorated rapidly when he publicly criticized American conduct of the Vietnam War.
U Thant 
 His secret attempts at direct peace talks between Washington and Hanoi were eventually rejected by the Johnson Administration.
U Thant 
 Thant followed unidentified flying object reports with some interest; in 1967, he arranged for American atmospheric physicist Dr. James E. McDonald to speak before the UN's Outer Space Affairs Group regarding UFOs.
U Thant 
 On January 23, 1971 U Thant categorically announced that he would "under no circumstances" be available for a third term as Secretary-General.
U Thant 
 For many weeks, the UN Security Council was deadlocked over the search for a successor before finally settling on Kurt Waldheim to succeed U Thant as Secretary-General on December 21, 1971 — Waldheim's 53rd birthday — and just ten days before U Thant's second term was to have ended.
U Thant 
 In his farewell address to the United Nations General Assembly Secretary-General U Thant stated that he felt a 'great sense of relief bordering on liberation' on relinquishing the 'burdens of office'.
U Thant 
 In an editorial published around December 27, 1971 praising U Thant, The New York Times stated that "the wise counsel of this dedicated man of peace will still be needed after his retirement".
U Thant 
 The then Burmese President Ne Win was envious of U Thant's international stature and the respect that was accorded him by the Burmese populace.
U Thant 
 Ne Win also resented U Thant's close links with the democratic government of U Nu which Ne Win had overthrown in a coup d'état on March 2, 1962.
U Thant 
 From the United Nations headquarters in New York, U Thant's body was flown back to Rangoon but no guard of honour or high ranking officials were on hand at the airport when the coffin arrived.
U Thant 
 On the day of U Thant's funeral on December 5, 1974, tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Rangoon to pay their last respects to their distinguished countryman whose coffin was displayed at Rangoon's Kyaikasan race course for a few hours before the scheduled burial.
U Thant 
 The coffin of U Thant was then snatched by a group of students just before it was scheduled to leave for burial in an ordinary Rangoon cemetery.
U Thant 
 The student demonstrators buried U Thant on the former grounds of the Rangoon University Students Union (RUSU), which Ne Win had dynamited and destroyed on July 8, 1962.
U Thant 
 During the period of December 5 through December 11, 1974, the student demonstrators also built a temporary mausoleum for U Thant on the grounds of the RUSU and gave anti-government speeches.
U Thant 
 In the early morning hours of December 11, 1974, government troops stormed the campus, killed some of the students guarding the makeshift mausoleum, removed U Thant's coffin, and reburied it at the foot of the Shwedagon Pagoda, where it has continued to lie.
U Thant 
 Upon hearing of the storming of the Rangoon University campus and the forcible removal of U Thant's coffin, many people rioted in the streets of Rangoon.
U Thant 
 What has come to be known as the U Thant crisis — the student-led protests over the shabby treatment by the Ne Win government of U Thant — was crushed by the Burmese government.
U Thant 
 In 1978, U Thant's memoirs View from the UN was published, by the American publishing house Doubleday.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 Boutros Boutros-Ghali ( ; 14 November 1922 – 16 February 2016) was an Egyptian politician and diplomat.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 As Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, he played a part in the peace agreements between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 He was criticised for the UN's failure to act during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, which officially left about 937,000 people dead, and he appeared unable to muster support in the UN for intervention in the continuing Angolan Civil War.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 One of the hardest periods for his office during his term was dealing with the crisis of the Yugoslav wars after the disintegration of former Yugoslavia.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 His reputation thus became entangled in the larger controversies over the effectiveness of the UN and the role of the United States in the UN.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 For his detractors, he came to symbolise the UN's alleged inaction in the face of humanitarian crises.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 In 1996, ten Security Council members, led by African members Egypt, Guinea-Bissau and Botswana, sponsored a resolution backing Boutros-Ghali for a second five-year term, until 2001.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 In addition to the United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, South Korea, and Italy did not sponsor this resolution, although all four of those nations voted in support of Boutros-Ghali after the US had firmly declared its intention to veto.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 Although not the first vetoed (China vetoed the third term of Kurt Waldheim in 1981), Boutros-Ghali was the first and only UN secretary-general not to be elected to a second term in office.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 US counter-terrorism czar Richard Clarke, Michael Sheehan, and Jamie Rubin participated in what they called "Operation Orient Express."
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 From page 201 of Clarke's book Against All Enemies: "Albright and I and a handful of others (Michael Sheehan, Jamie Rubin) had entered into a pact together in 1996 to oust Boutros-Ghali as Secretary General of the United Nations, a secret plan we had called Operation Orient Express, reflecting our hope that many nations would join us in doing in the UN head.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 In the end, the US had to do it alone (with its UN veto) and Sheehan and I had to prevent the President from giving in to pressure from world leaders and extending Boutros-Ghali's tenure, often by our racing to the Oval Office when we were alerted that a head of state was telephoning the President.
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 In the end Clinton was impressed that we had managed not only to oust Boutros-Ghali but to have Kofi Annan selected to replace him. (
Boutros Boutros-Ghali 
 Clinton told Sheehan and me, 'Get me a crow, I should eat a crow, because I said you would never pull it off.')"
