2017 Alamo Bowl
The 2017 Alamo Bowl (December) was a college football bowl game played on December 28, 2017, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.  The 25th annual Alamo Bowl featured the Stanford Cardinal of the Pac-12 against the TCU Horned Frogs of the Big 12. It was one of the 2017–18 bowl games concluding the 2017 FBS football season. Sponsored by Valero Energy, the game was officially known as the Valero Alamo Bowl. The contest was televised on ESPN, with kickoff at 8:00 p.m. (CST).

Alamodome
The Alamodome is a 64,000-seat domed indoor multi-purpose stadium in San Antonio, Texas. It is located on the southeastern fringe of downtown San Antonio. The facility opened on May 15, 1993, having been constructed at a cost of $186 million.

The multi-purpose facility was intended to increase the city's convention traffic and attract a professional football franchise.  It also placated the San Antonio Spurs' demands for a larger arena.  The Spurs played in the Alamodome for a decade, then became disenchanted with the facility and convinced Bexar County to construct a new arena for them, now called the Frost Bank Center. The Alamodome's regular tenant is currently the UTSA Roadrunners. Recent tenants include the San Antonio Commanders of the Alliance of American Football,  the San Antonio Brahmas of the United Football League, and the San Antonio Talons of the Arena Football League.
Chini (letter)
Chini, or Chin (Asomtavruli: Ⴙ; Nuskhuri: ⴙ; Mkhedruli: ჩ; Mtavruli: Ჩ; Georgian: ჩინი, ჩინ) is the 29th letter of the three Georgian scripts.

In the system of Georgian numerals, it has a value of 1000.
Chini commonly represents the voiceless postalveolar (aspirated) affricate /tʃ⁽ʰ⁾/, like the pronunciation of ⟨ch⟩ in "choose". It is typically romanized with the digraphs Ch, and Ch’, or with the letters Č, Č’, and Č‘.

Aspirated consonant
In phonetics, aspiration is a strong burst of breath that accompanies either the release or, in the case of preaspiration, the closure of some obstruents. In English, aspirated consonants are allophones in complementary distribution with their unaspirated counterparts, but in some other languages, notably most North American languages, South Asian languages  and East Asian languages, the difference is contrastive.
Grásteinn
Grásteinn (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkrauːˌsteitn̥], 'grey stone') is a stone on Álftanes, near Reykjavík in Iceland. At Grandinn when driving from Garðabær to Álftanes is a crossroads. Bessastaðir is to the right, Suðurnesvegur to the left and Norðurnesvegur straight forward. To the south of this crossroads is the marker-stone Grásteinn, which is a lodestone.

On the stone are marks showing that someone has tried to move it during roadwork in the 20th century. While trying to move it, it seemed to people that the nearby farm Eyvindarstaðir was on fire, and they stopped trying to move it. Grásteinn is also associated with the belief that things will go well for the wayfarer who passes it carefully.

The Elf-Stones are several stones to the south of Grásteinn. Elves are supposed to live in them.

Grásteinn is portrayed in the film Sumarlandið by Grimur Hákonarson, where it is Grásteinn itself that is an elf-stone.: 286–87

While the association does not limit the discipline or period of the work, it won't consider anthologies, edited works, and pamphlets. Based on the scholarly interests of Levenson, the association gives special consideration to books that "promote the relevance of scholarship on China to the wider world of intellectual discourse."

Descabezado Grande (also Cerro Azul or Quizapu) is a stratovolcano located in the Maule Region of central Chile. It is capped by a 1.4-kilometre-wide (0.9 mi) ice-filled caldera and named for its flat-topped form, as descabezado means "headless" in Spanish. A smaller crater about 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide is found in the northeast part of the caldera, and it has active fumaroles.

The volcano is composed of andesite and rhyodacite lava flows along with pyroclastic flow deposits. It has a basal diameter of about 10 by 12 kilometres (6.2 by 7.5 mi) and a total volume of about 30 cubic kilometres (7.2 cu mi). Along with Cerro Azul, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the south, it lies at the center of a 20-by-30-kilometre (12-by-19-mile) volcanic field.

Andesite
Andesite (/ˈændəzaɪt/) is a volcanic rock of intermediate composition. In a general sense, it is the intermediate type between silica-poor basalt and silica-rich rhyolite.

Andesite is the extrusive equivalent of plutonic diorite. Characteristic of subduction zones, andesite represents the dominant rock type in island arcs. The average composition of the continental crust is andesitic.  Along with basalts, andesites are a component of the Martian crust.

The name andesite is derived from the Andes mountain range, where this rock type is found in abundance. It was first applied by Christian Leopold von Buch in 1826.

Copepod
Copepods (/ˈkoʊpəpɒd/; meaning 'oar-feet') are a group of small crustaceans found in nearly every freshwater and saltwater habitat. Some species are planktonic (living in the water column), some are benthic (living on the sediments), several species have parasitic phases, and some continental species may live in limnoterrestrial habitats and other wet terrestrial places, such as swamps, under leaf fall in wet forests, bogs, springs, ephemeral ponds, puddles, damp moss, or water-filled recesses of plants (phytotelmata) such as bromeliads and pitcher plants. Many live underground in marine and freshwater caves, sinkholes, or stream beds. Copepods are sometimes used as biodiversity indicators.
