Billable hours
Billable hours are hours worked by an employee for an employer that are billed to the employer's client. In certain professions, particularly in law firms, employees are required to bill a certain number of hours per month or per year, and those who bill more hours may obtain additional benefits such as larger bonuses or faster promotions. However, the practice of using billable hours has also been criticized for a number of reasons. Various forms of technology have been developed to track the billable hours generated by employees.

MV Butiraoi
The MV Butiraoi was a 17.5-metre (57 ft) wooden catamaran that operated as a ferry in Kiribati. On 18 January 2018, it left the island of Nonouti carrying 88 passengers. Bound for Betio, the ferry was planned to make the 240-kilometre (150 mi) voyage in two days. According to survivors, the overloaded ferry broke in half and sank.

The ferry was reported missing on the 19th. On 26 January, Kiribati notified authorities in Fiji and New Zealand who, along with multiple fishing vessels, searched the areas surrounding the ferry's planned path. Australia and the US joined in the aerial search in the days that followed. Two days later, a Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion patrol plane spotted a wooden dinghy containing seven passengers of the Butiraoi, who were then rescued by a nearby fishing vessel. The aerial search was called off on 1 February, with some fishing vessels continuing the search. No further passengers were found.

Frances River (Yukon)
The Frances River is a left tributary of the Liard River in southern Yukon.

The Frances River forms the drain of Frances Lake. Flowing south, it passes Tuchitua, where the Nahanni Range Road branches off from the Yukon Highway 4 (Robert Campbell Highway). The Yukon Highway 4 runs parallel to the river for a while before it crosses the river about 25 km (16 mi) from the mouth and continues to Watson Lake. The Frances River flows into the Liard River 25 km (16 mi) northwest of Watson Lake. The river valley of the Frances River separates the Selwyn Mountains to the east from the Pelly Mountains to the west.

The Frances River has a length of about 140 km (87 mi). At the level at the highway bridge, the mean discharge is 157 m3/s (5,500 cu ft/s). At this point the catchment area covers an area of 12,800 km2 (4,900 sq mi).

Selwyn Mountains
The Selwyn Mountains are a mountain range in northern Canada, forming part of the border between the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories, and which are part of the Eastern System of the Canadian Cordillera (aka the Western Cordillera).  They are neighboured on the east by the Mackenzie Mountains and on their northwest end by the Brooks Range.  To their southwest is the Yukon Plateau, while a lower southward extension of their mountain spine protrudes into British Columbia as the Liard Plateau.  In some reckonings the Selwyns and Mackenzies are considered to be part of the Rocky Mountains, but that range officially lies only to the south of the Liard River and the aforesaid plateau.
Named for Alfred Richard Cecil Selwyn, director of the Geological Survey of Victoria from 1852 to 1869, director of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) from 1869 to 1894 and President of the Royal Society of Canada from 1895 to 1896.

Hypocala subsatura
Hypocala subsatura is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. It is found from the Oriental region to Sundaland.

Larvae have been recorded feeding on Diospyros, Quercus, Garcinia, Caesalpinia, Carapa and Xylocarpus species. There are also records for Malus and Citrus species, but these might be related to adult feeding.

Garcinia
Garcinia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Clusiaceae native to the Sundaland bioregion of Asia, America, Australia, tropical and southern Africa, and Polynesia. The number of species is disputed; Plants of the World Online (POWO) recognise up to 400. Commonly, the plants in this genus are called saptrees, mangosteens (which may also refer specifically to Garcinia mangostana), or garcinias, and is one of several plants known as by the name "monkey fruit". The genus is named after French botanist Laurent Garcin (1683–1751).

Trees of many species from this genus tend to grow deep in forested areas where other plants grow nearby.: 10  They are threatened by habitat destruction, and at least one species, G. cadelliana, from South Andaman Island, is almost or even completely extinct already.
Subtilisin
Subtilisin is a protease (a protein-digesting enzyme) initially obtained from Bacillus subtilis.

Subtilisins belong to subtilases, a group of serine proteases that – like all serine proteases – initiate the nucleophilic attack on the peptide (amide) bond through a serine residue at the active site. Subtilisins typically have molecular weights 27kDa.  They can be obtained from certain types of soil bacteria, for example, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens from which they are secreted in large amounts.

Bacillus subtilis
Bacillus subtilis (/bəˈsɪl.əs subˈtiː.lis/), known also as the hay bacillus or grass bacillus, is a gram-positive, catalase-positive bacterium, found in soil and the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, humans and marine sponges. Bacillus subtilis is motile and amylase positive.  It forms biofilms through the formation of extracellular polymeric matrix containing sugars and proteins. As a member of the genus Bacillus, B. subtilis is rod-shaped, and can form a tough, protective endospore, allowing it to tolerate extreme environmental conditions. B. subtilis has historically been classified as an obligate aerobe, though evidence exists that it is a facultative anaerobe. B. subtilis is considered the best studied Gram-positive bacterium and a model organism to study bacterial chromosome replication and cell differentiation. It is one of the bacterial champions in secreted enzyme production and used on an industrial scale by biotechnology companies.
