12.This pre-Civil War immigrant, together with his cousin, started a chemical company whose first product was candied santonin - a palatable antiparasitic. This was an immediate success, although it was the production of citric acid that really kick-started the company’s growth in the 1880s, after that during World War I, there was shortage of calcium citrate that this company imported from Italy for the manufacture of citric acid, and the company began a search for an alternative supply. The chemists of this company learned of a fungus that ferments sugar to citric acid and were able to commercialize production of citric acid from this source in 1919. As a result the company developed expertise in fermentation technology. These skills were applied to the mass production of penicillin during World War II, in response to a need from the U.S. government. The antibiotic was needed to treat injured Allied soldiers. In fact, most of the penicillin that went ashore with the troops on D-Day was made by the company. Today, the company he started is one of the premier pharmaceutical companies. Name the immigrant and

15.X began in a "daylong brainstorming session" that was held by board members of the podcasting company Odeo in an attempt to break out of a creative slump.

“The working name was just "Status" for a while. It actually didn’t have a name. We were trying to name it, and mobile was a big aspect of the product early on ... We liked the SMS aspect, and how you could update from anywhere and receive from anywhere. We wanted to capture that in the name — we wanted to capture that feeling: the physical sensation that you’re buzzing your friend’s pocket. It’s like buzzing all over the world. So we did a bunch of name-storming, and we came up with the word ---- because the phone kind of vibrates when it moves. So we looked in the dictionary for words around it, and we came across the word "X," and it was just perfect. The definition was "a short burst of inconsequential information," and "chirps from birds." And that’s exactly what the product was.” - Y
