wikipedia_2018-2601 | <unk> are taxes laid upon the manufacture , sale or consumption of commodities within the country , upon licenses to pursue certain occupations and upon corporate privileges ... the requirement to pay such taxes involves the exercise of privileges , and the element of absolute and unavoidable demand is lacking ... Conceding the power of Congress to tax the business activities of private corporations .. the tax must be measured by some standard ... It is therefore well settled by the decisions of this court that when the sovereign authority has exercised the right to tax a legitimate subject of taxation as an exercise of a franchise or privilege , it is no objection that the measure of taxation is found in the income produced in part from property which of itself considered is <unk> . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2648 | A function can be approximated by using a finite number of terms of its Taylor series . Taylor 's theorem gives quantitative estimates on the error introduced by the use of such an approximation . The polynomial formed by taking some initial terms of the Taylor series is called a Taylor polynomial . The Taylor series of a function is the limit of that function 's Taylor polynomials as the degree increases , provided that the limit exists . A function may not be equal to its Taylor series , even if its Taylor series converges at every point . A function that is equal to its Taylor series in an open interval ( or a disc in the complex plane ) is known as an analytic function in that interval . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2651 | On three separate occasions CMLL was forced to declare the championship vacant , which meant that there was no champion for a period of time . In all three instances this was necessitated by the then reigning champion leaving CMLL without working a match where he would lose the title to whichever successor CMLL picked . Under normal circumstances CMLL would know that a wrestler was leaving the promotion , either due to their contract not being renewed or the wrestler giving notice , which allows them time to transition the championship to a different wrestler . In the case of Cien Caras , Steel and Héctor Garza their departures from the company were so sudden and unannounced that no plans were in place and CMLL had to organize a tournament to determine the next champion . | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-2652 | The stars that form Grus were originally considered part of the neighbouring constellation Piscis Austrinus ( the southern fish ) , with Gamma Gruis seen as part of the fish 's tail . The stars were first defined as a separate constellation by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius , who created twelve new constellations based on the observations of the southern sky by the Dutch explorers Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman , who had sailed on the first Dutch trading expedition , known as the Eerste Schipvaart , to the East Indies . Grus first appeared on a 35 @-@ cm diameter celestial globe published in 1598 in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius . Its first depiction in a celestial atlas was in the German cartographer Johann Bayer 's Uranometria of 1603 .

wikipedia_2018-2654 | Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus coined the binomial name Columba macroura for both the mourning dove and the passenger pigeon in the 1758 edition of his work Systema Naturae ( the starting point of biological nomenclature ) , wherein he appears to have considered the two identical . This composite description cited accounts of these birds in two pre @-@ Linnean books . One of these was Mark Catesby 's description of the passenger pigeon , which was published in his 1731 – 1743 work Natural History of Carolina , Florida and the Bahama Islands , which referred to this bird as <unk> migratorius , and was accompanied by the earliest published illustration of the species . Catesby 's description was combined with the 1743 description of the mourning dove by George Edwards , who used the name C. macroura for that bird . There is nothing to suggest Linnaeus ever saw specimens of these birds himself , and his description is thought to be fully derivative of these earlier accounts and their illustrations . In his 1766 edition of Systema Naturae , Linnaeus dropped the name C. macroura , and instead used the name C. migratoria for the passenger pigeon , and C. carolinensis for the mourning dove . In the same edition , Linnaeus also named C. canadensis , based on <unk> canadensis , as used by Mathurin Jacques Brisson in 1760 . Brisson 's description was later shown to have been based on a female passenger pigeon . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-2657 | In 1931 Beach Thomas lamented the inability of the National Farmers Union of England and Wales to arrest what he saw as the decline of the farming industry . In A Countryman 's Creed ( 1946 ) he harked back to a lost world , perhaps even a world that was more of his imagination than it ever was fact . As F. R. Leavis had done before him , Beach Thomas sought a rural revival to curtail what he perceived to be the rapid changes to traditional modes of living that had been evident in particular in the aftermath of the First World War and which were now ideologically challenged following the substantial victory of the socialist Labour Party in the 1945 general election . The new government was a threat to Beach Thomas 's view of the world because , in the words of literary critic Robert Hemmings , it saw the countryside " as merely a giant dairy and granary for the city .

wikipedia_2018-2699 | MacArthur was invited to speak at the 51st National Encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Chicago on 26 August 1950 . He declined the invitation , but instead sent a statement that could be read out aloud , in which he contradicted Truman 's policy towards the island of Formosa , saying : " Nothing could be more fallacious than the threadbare argument by those who advocate appeasement and defeatism in the Pacific that if we defend Formosa we alienate continental Asia . " Truman was infuriated by the word " appeasement , " and discussed the possibility of relieving MacArthur with Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson . Johnson responded that MacArthur was " one of the greatest , if not the greatest generals of our generation . " Truman told Johnson to send MacArthur an order withdrawing his statement , which he did ; but it had already been read into Congressional Record . As it turned out , it was not MacArthur who was relieved , but Johnson . Truman had become irritated with Johnson 's conflict with Secretary of State Acheson , and although he had said that Johnson would remain his Secretary of Defense for " as long as I am President , " he asked Johnson for his resignation . Publicly , Johnson received much of the blame for the defense cuts that had led to the lack of preparedness and consequent early defeats in Korea . He was replaced by General of the Army George Marshall . | wikipedia-2018 |
