The origin of the term "grandfather clause" refers to statutes put in place after the Civil War by seven Southern states in an attempt to block African Americans from voting, while exempting white voters from taking literacy tests and paying poll taxes required to vote. In the statutes, white voters whose grandfathers had voted before the end of the Civil War were exempt from taking the tests and paying the taxes under the legacy clause. 2, record 1, English, - acquired%20rights%20clause

At some point, when marginal cost equals average cost, a plant will stop yielding economies of scale; it will then be at a point where diseconomies of scale begin, with each extra unit of output costing more than the average cost and thus being unprofitable. In other words, a plant can produce both too little and too much. 3, record 2, English, - diseconomy%20of%20scale

This [diseconomy of scale] can be due to internal factors: for example, the firm may become so big that it becomes increasingly costly and difficult to manage and operate.

Ne pas confondre avec «association végétale» pris dans son sens large. En fait, d'après la définition donnée dans le Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse (LAROG, 1982, v. 1, page 757), «association végétale» peut, dans un sens large, être synonyme de «communauté végétale» : L'expression «association végétale» désigne, au sens large, un ensemble de plantes aux exigences écologiques voisines, présentant une composition floristique stable, organisé de façon précise dans l'espace [...] et dans le temps. [...] Plus particulièrement, l'association végétale correspond à un groupement type, désigné d'après le nom de l'espèce dominante [...] 4, record 14, French, - association%20v%C3%A9g%C3%A9tale

"resource": Anything that is used directly by people. A renewable resource can renew itself (or be renewed) at a constant level, either because it recycles quite rapidly (water), or because it is alive and can propagate itself or be propagated (organisms and ecosystems). A nonrenewable resource is one whose consumption necessarily involves its depletion. 1, record 17, English, - resources
