I have a dream
大哥說：我有夢想
二哥說：我有果汁
媽開著車～～～
我不知往左、或往右
拜文昌廟，
送達蠶絲被
也為會考的妹妹加持瑪露連，
順便為棒球比賽帶來弟弟帶仙草

that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of "interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."2

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.

[A quick overview on choice of legal entities for international founders setting up in Taiwan, part 1]

Hi, I’m Norman, an AppWorks Analyst. As an analyst here, one common question I’ve been hearing from international founders is: what type of business entities should I register for when I am trying to set up in Taiwan? And what are the differences among all the options?

Usually, international founders will approach local accounting firms for help, but it can be costly, usually around US$ 200~1,500, and still requires you to digest a lot of information before a decision can be made. My next two posts will be dedicated to giving international founders a quick overview on what options you have at your disposal and the key considerations to keep in mind. Hopefully after finishing reading these 2 posts, you will have a clearer understanding of what type of business entities you can set up in Taiwan. Let’s get started!

So far there are generally three ways to set up an entity in Taiwan:
1. Set up a representative office
2. Set up a local company
3. Set up a branch office

When founders are thinking about what type of entity to set up, the first thing you must consider is whether you are going to conduct business in Taiwan (meaning whether or not you are going to sell products or provide services in Taiwan.)

For founders who already set up an entity outside of Taiwan, you might want to find business partners, display your products, or appoint someone to represent the company in a legal capacity in Taiwan. If you are not planning to conduct business activities, then you can consider setting up a representative office. The procedure for setting up a representative office is the easiest one, as it just takes two weeks to one month. There is no need to file a capital verification report and proceed with business registration. Founders just need to file the registration application with the Ministry of Economic Affairs authority.

However, the representative office comes with its own limitations. As this type of entity is not allowed to conduct “any” business activities, which means you will not be able to complete any transactions and issue invoices. In addition, you can’t turn representative offices into another type of entity. As a result, if you set up a representative office successfully in Taiwan first, and then figure out that you should do business directly in Taiwan, you have to file another application to set up a new entity and also apply for nullification of the representative office registration.

Next week, I will introduce the other two options to wrap up this series on company setup in Taiwan. If you found this information valuable, be sure to follow our FB page to stay up-to-date on the latest posts. And if there’s anything you would like me to clarify, feel free to leave a comment below.

728上環遊行，逾40人被補及起訴。
其中，45人今日提堂。

「咁元朗呢？」
天真爛漫一問之後，真係得啖笑。

在荒謬的世代，我們更加應該要守望相助。
而在今時今日，每個人都應該要知道：「陪審團並不是盲從法律或法官指引的橡皮圖章。」

荒謬的事陸續發生，要好好裝備自己（腦袋的知識）。

******* ******* ******* ******* *******

英國大法官 Lord Devlin 曾經形容陪審團是「證明自由存在的明燈」[1]，其實就是指陪審團是照亮專制黑暗、守護自由的燈火。這裡所指的，就是陪審團否決權 (jury nullification) [2]。簡單而言，即使檢控一方充分證明被告的確犯了法，甚至乎陪審團也認為被告的確犯了法，但陪審團仍然否決裁定被告人有罪。其目的在於隱形地抵抗不義之法，又或抵抗政府濫用公正的法律用作不公義的用途，實際上暗地裡不服從專制政府利用法律來作惡，從而保障了自由、人權和公義。

陪審團否決權並非一個白紙黑字公開確立的權力，卻是一直被人權衛士和法律學家暗中堅持的權力。它是一個自然形成的隱形權力，它的出現有五個前設︰

一﹑案件進行陪審團審訊；
二﹑陪審團不需要為其裁決作出任何解釋；
三﹑不管陪審團得出的裁決如何，陪審團都不需要負擔任何後果；
四﹑法庭跟隨陪審團的裁決；
五﹑被告人獲判無罪後，不需要就同一件事件再次面對另一次審訊。

判「無罪」當然好。

但更好的是使用「陪審團否決權」，這是「對抗腐敗司法系統及政治的武器」。
