His time was an impressive one-tenth of a second off of his best time, with which he ranked 38th in the world in 1997. Sirringhaus also took second in the 400-meter Freestyle long course...

The disease is transmitted by the bite of a sand fly that is about one-tenth of an inch long and is ubiquitous in certain woodlands. Once inside the body, the kala-azar protozoan invades and weakens the immune system, causing fever, weight loss, anemia and enlargement of the spleen. If the disease is untreated, a secondary infection, such as pneumonia or malaria, usually brings painful death...
