I remember his son had the L.L. Bean bootlaces, and we're trying to do up his laces.

OTTAWA In April 1999 Larry Proctor, a United States citizen and owner of a seed company, won a patent at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), claiming a Mexican yellow bean. The patent conferred Proctor exclusive rights over a bean variety he called Enola.

The bean for which Proctor was granted a patent is a farmers variety, originally from Mexico and in the public domain for centuries. The bean is consumed throughout Mexico and by Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the US who know it by the names Mayocoba, Canario, or Peruano.

I'll give you two examples, also from the garden lima beans. You know what a lima bean does when it's attacked by spider mites?

Acaraje, a Brazilian food from Africa, is a ball of caupi bean dough, onions, and salt, fried in palm oil and served with shrimp and a spicy sauce.

It releases this volatile chemical that goes out into the world and summons another species of mite that comes in and attacks the spider mite, defending the lima bean.

Although the bean variety existed in publicly available seed collections, it took ten years, hundreds of thousands of dollars, massive protest by farmers and civil society, the intervention of international agencies, and five consecutive legal decisions before the USPTO finally annulled the patent in July 2009. By then, Proctor had exercised a complete monopoly over the production, distribution, and marketing of the bean for more than half of the patent s lifespan.

There may be one or two of you who are brilliant jelly bean guessers, but for the most part the group's guess would be better than just about all of you.

The humour feels as if it is pitched at kids rather than adults, and for me Johnny English's wacky misadventures aren't as inventive and focused as Atkinson's silent movie gags in the persona of Bean.

Truly it is Allah Who causes the grain and the fruit kernel to sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead and brings forth the dead from the living. Such is Allah. So whither are you tending in error?

At the end of 2000, CIAT, supported by the FAO, requested that the USPTO re examine the patent. Geneticists then performed genetic fingerprinting on the yellow beans, and concluded that Proctor s Enola bean was identical to the Mexican beans covered by the Trust Agreement.

Of course, listeners must strain to hear the voices of reformists amidst the din of those calling for resistance to the enemy and a return to the pure sources of Islam. However, the seeds of a new wave of reform have taken root, and await an early thaw to sprout.

It is Allah Who causeth the seed grain and the date stone to split and sprout. He causeth the living to issue from the dead, and He is the one to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah then how are ye deluded away from the truth?

After returning to the local police station, the policeman first of all offered a bowl of mung bean soup to the old man and told the latter to drink it up for fear that he might suffer heatstroke due to being exposed to the scorching weather for a long time.

It does this through an elaborate and elegant system of checks and balances, stimulators and inhibitors of angiogenesis, such that, when we need a brief burst of blood vessels, the body can do this by releasing stimulators, proteins called angiogenic factors that act as natural fertilizer and stimulate new blood vessels to sprout.

Indeed, contrary to the widely held assumption that evolution takes millennia to manifest itself, recent evidence suggests that its effects can become visible as quickly as in a few generations. Rapid evolutionary change, or contemporary evolution, is not drastic humans are not likely to sprout wings a few generations down the road.

Verily! It is Allah Who causes the seed grain and the fruit stone (like date stone, etc.) to split and sprout. He brings forth the living from the dead, and it is He Who brings forth the dead from the living. Such is Allah, then how are you deluded away from the truth?

He is of course the daft secret agent who despite his bizarre pretensions to smoothie glamour has got a little bit of Clouseau, a dash of Mr Bean and a dollop of that chap contributing a single note to the Chariots of Fire theme tune at the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony.

I'm working on this with the Field and Space Robotics Laboratory and my friend Steve Dubowsky at MIT, and we have come up with the idea of having little, jumping bean like robots that are propelled by artificial muscle, which is one of the Dubowsky Lab's specialties are the EPAMs, or artificial muscles.

He said that the story of Tofu occurred during the reign of Emperor Wu of Western Han Dynasty, against the backdrop of Liu An, Prince of Huainan, making pills to attain immortality. The leading character Dou Fu was a bean that miraculously took on human form by accident while Liu An was making these pills.

The Earth's gravity is going to bend the orbit of this thing so much that if it's just right, if it passes through this region of space, this kidney bean shaped region called the keyhole, the Earth's gravity will bend it just enough that seven years later on April 13, which is a Friday, I'll note, in the year 2036 ...

As always, words are important, because they can easily be turned into weapons that boomerang on those who use them inappropriately. Wrong analogies have already led America to disaster in Iraq, which had nothing in common with Germany or Japan after World War II the parallel that some in the Bush administration used in arguing that democracy could be made to sprout in former dictatorships through occupation.

The traditional view, still enshrined in much of the way that we think about creativity in organizations, in government is that creativity is about special people wear baseball caps the wrong way round, come to conferences like this, in special places, elite universities, R D labs in the forests, water, maybe special rooms in companies painted funny colors, you know, bean bags, maybe the odd table football table.

As soon as Proctor was awarded the patent, he sued two importers of the yellow beans, demanding that they pay royalties. Although the importers knew that Proctor s invention was ludicrous (because they had been importing the bean from Mexico for years), they had no choice but to accept the patent s legality, causing 22,000 Mexican farmers and their families to lose 90 of their export incomes in just the first year.

Tofu is based on a traditional allusion concerning Liu An, Prince of Huainan in the Han Dynasty Liu An made a mistake and invented tofu .
