		Some in Chosen Soren say that even 10 billion a year is too high and that the true amount is in the millions of yen.

		Since the 2002 summit, Chosen Soren members have also suffered anonymous bomb threats and other forms of verbal abuse by persons unknown, actions that neither the families nor their supporters have strongly condemned in public.

		Longtemps monolithique et inféodée à Pyongyang, Chosen soren - l’Association générale des résidents coréens au Japon - est aujourd’hui en plein désarroi.
		Chosen soren, qui revendique 56 000 membres et 200 000 sympathisants, a été jusqu’à la fin des années 1980 une organisation fortement politisée, soudée par un puissant sentiment d’identité nationale.
		Les enlèvements ont révélé l’existence, au sein de Chosen soren, d’une organisation secrète, "l’équipe des études", qui dépendait directement du Parti des travailleurs de Corée (PTC, communiste) et était chargée d’assister les agents du Nord dans leurs opérations au Japon et en Corée du Sud.

		Soren was born in 1938 and took his initial rides at the Folkare track in 1957.
		During the 1962 season, Soren travelled with Peter Craven, which helped him as he struggled to come to terms with strange surroundings and a lack of knowledge of the English language.
		Soren remained at the top of his form in the league, but once again, he failed to reach the world final which was to be held in his native Sweden.

	Pathways to Philosophy - Introductory readings in Philosophy
		This general account gradually merges into an attempt to show, in outline, how some of the major issues which arise in the connected fields of metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of language can, and should, be resolved.
		Then, finally, two particular philosophical questions are chosen to be treated, in the concluding chapters, in greater illustrative detail.
		There are surely many more, although we hope that few of our colleagues, if any, will dispute that the sixty-one we have chosen are texts that are read and re-read by philosophers and that it is generally thought to be better to read them than not.

		Jamshedpur, June 8: Union coal and mines minister Sibu Soren has chosen to tread cautiously on the issue of shifting the headquarters of Coal India Limited from Calcutta to the state.
		Soren, who knows for good that his demand has triggered stiff resistance in West Bengal, has now decided to hold discussions with senior Congress and Left Front leaders and try to convince them in his favour.
		JMM sources said it would be a “tough task” for the Union minister to shift the headquarters from Calcutta since West Bengal MPs cutting across party lines are bound to resist it.

		A major issue is the role that Koreans in Japan play in supporting North Korea, Although a very small segment of the population, Koreans affiliated with the organization known as Chosen Soren have figured prominently in the triangular relationship between Japan, North Korea, and South Korea over the past 50 years.
		During the Cold War, Chosen Soren activities in support of North Korea severely strained Japan-South Korea relations that were already plagued by lingering animosity from the colonial period.
		For many years, Chosen Soren was the conduit through which Japan and North Korea attempted to expand trade and eventually establish ton%al diplomatic ties.

		This situation occurred partly because of discrimination by the Japanese majority and partly because of the fact that a large number of resident Koreans, loyal to the North Korean regime of Kim Il Sung, preferred to remain separate from and hostile to the Japanese mainstream.
		The pro-North Korea Chosen soren (General Association of Korean Residents in Japan) initially was more successful than the pro-South Korea Mindan (Association for Korean Residents in Japan) in attracting adherents among residents in Japan.
		Since diplomatic relations were established between Seoul and Tokyo in 1965, however, the South Korean government has taken an active role in promoting the interests of their residents in Japan in negotiations with the Japanese government (see Relations with Japan, ch.

		Private school attendance and cash remittances have both fallen, as has Chosen Soren's share in the pachinko industry.

	Systematic Political Science: Epistemological Context in Social Simulation
		These epistemological values are calibrated by the individually chosen divine authority and standard for what is considered good and/or evil.
		On a nonspecific micro societal level, the theological categories of people fleeing an office building filled with smoke may not be known but estimates can be made from appropriate sample data that should not be considered stable.
		It would be useful for crisis managers and risk analysts to know if the office workers had a theology like Soren Kierkegaard, who promoted an epistemology of self-sacrifice, which would make them likely to assist their fellow workers injured by smoke or fire.

		But a revolution is brewing at First Chosen and the other North Korean schools in Japan.
		This is awesome news :) Since the Chosen Soren are a major source of revenue for N. Korea (via 1/3 of all pachinkos in Japan which the Chosen Soren own), it means they're no longer supporting the N. Korean regime (politically, or financially).

		Alexis Dudden said that despite the current attention on the Mangyongbong, the searchlight on illegal activity between Japan and North Korea should actually be trained on pachinko, a pinball-type gambling game.
		According to the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), nearly one-third of the pachinko industry is controlled by Chosen affiliates or supporters.

		While China is welcoming, North Korean companies have gotten a rise out of Japan and the United States, which contend that Pyongyang uses these concerns sometimes to procure raw materials and dual-use technologies clandestinely to support its missile and nuclear-weapons programs.
		Until recently, North Korea was able to acquire sensitive industrial components and chemicals through companies in Japan, which were affiliated with the pro-Pyongyang General Association of Korean Residents, or Chosen Soren.
		But when the company informed customs of the planned shipment, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry responded that Meishin required special permission under regulations governing the export of dual-purpose equipment that can be used in, or converted for use in, the production of weapons of mass destruction.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 69
		The official Japanese term for Korean residents is Zainichi Kankoku Chosenjin (South and North Korean Residents in Japan), which divides the community according to nationality, with the implication that Chosen refers only to North Korea, and places South Korean nationals (Kankoku) ahead of their Northern brethren.
		Indeed, the term is often used by children as a slur to taunt other children who are suspected of or are identified as being Korean.
		Since the establishment of the pro-South Korean organization Mindan (Korean Residents Association in Japan) in 1948 and the pro-North Korean organization Chongryun (General Association of Korean Residents in Japan, Chosen Soren in Japanese) in 1955, the Korean community has been the object of two competing political regimes.

		But Nicholas Eberstadt's recent research indicates that the current flow of money from the Chosen Soren is probably not more than $100 million a year, far less than any prior estimates; he argues further that this decline has been the trend since 1990.
		To do so would mean the "contamination of its citizens with bourgeois culture" and the inevitable undermining of juche and the cult of personality from which the regime derives its political legitimacy.
		In November 1995 a Japanese intelligence official reported that the remittances to North Korea from the Chosen Soren had "decreased greatly" since the death of Kim Il Sung.

		Historically, South Korea's National Security Law prevented Chosen Soren members unwilling to renounce North Korea, many of whom were born in the south, from visiting their hometowns.

	Existentialism
		Among the major philosophers identified as existentialists (many of whom — for instance Camus and Heidegger — repudiated the label) were Karl Jaspers, Martin Heidegger, and Martin Buber in Germany, Jean Wahl and Gabriel Marcel in France, the Spaniards José Ortega y Gasset and Miguel de Unamuno, and the Russians Nicholai Berdyaev and Lev Shestov.
		The nineteenth century philosophers, Soren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche, came to be seen as precursors of the movement.
		If these questions have answers that are themselves exigent it can only be because, at a still deeper level, I am engaged as having chosen myself as a person of a certain sort: respectable, responsible.
