Tweekend is the second album by American duo The Crystal Method, released in 2001. The album featured the hit lead single " Name of the Game", which has been featured in many films, television shows and commercials. The other two singles from the album were "Murder" (a.k.a. "You Know It's Hard") and "Wild, Sweet and Cool". The album title is derived from the massive demise of the West Coast rave scene in the late 1990s and 2000s.

In Celtic polytheism, Belisama (epigraphically ) was a goddess worshipped in Gaul. She is identified with Minerva in the interpretatio romana.

The etymology of her name has been taken to translate to "brightest one", i.e. containing a superlative suffix -isama attached to the root bel "bright"; based on this she has also been speculatively claimed as companion of Belenus, whose name seems to contain the same root. But the root bel has also (for either deity) been interpreted differently, e.g. as bel "strong".

A Gaulish inscription found at Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence ( RIG G-172) shows that a nemeton was dedicated to her:

The identification with Minerva in Gallo-Roman religion is established in a Latin inscription from Saint-Lizier (anciently Consoranni), Ariège department ( CIL XIII, 8):

The French toponyms Beleymas and Bellême (found in the Dordogne and Orne departments, respectively) are based on the theonym.

The presence of the goddess in Britain is more difficult to establish. Based on Ptolemy listing a "Belisama estuary", River Ribble in England seems to have been known by the name Belisama in Roman times.

The surname Figes may refer to:

• Orlando Figes, British historian and author

Flans is an all-female Mexican group, which enjoyed popularity from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Its members were the singers Ivonne Margarita Guevara García, Ilse María Olivo Schweinfurth and Irma Angélica Hernández Ochoa. They were generally known as Ivonne, Ilse, and Mimí.

Forsån ( Swedish: "Rapids' Stream") is a stream in southern Stockholm, Sweden. It is also known as Stortorpsån and Forsen.

Leaving lake Magelungen calmly by a small sandy beach, Forsån's upper reach passes through a furrow blown in the 1860s to lower the level of the lake resulting in the present wide torrents passing through the bedrock. In contrast, the last 500 metres of the course are characterized by flat shores and stagnant, overgrown waters. The stream has a vigorous population of signal crayfish and is the only winter habitat in Stockholm for white-throated dipper.

Opiate is the major-label debut album by American rock band Tool. It was produced and engineered by Sylvia Massy and former Minor Threat bassist Steve Hansgen. Released as an EP in 1992, it was the result of some two years of the band playing together after their formation in 1990. Opiate preceded Tool's second major-label release, Undertow, by a year. It is named after a quote by Karl Marx: "Religion [...] is the opium of the masses". As of July 7, 2010, Opiate has sold 1,155,000 copies in the US and is certified Platinum by the RIAA.

An opiate is any of the narcotic alkaloids found in opium.

Opiate may also refer to:

• Opiate, an alias of Danish musician and producer Thomas Knak
• Opiate (EP), an EP and title track by progressive rock band Tool
• "Opiate" (song), a song by the rock band Tool

"Opiate" is a song by Tool and the title track from their debut EP recorded by producer Sylvia Massy at Sound City Studios in 1991. While never released as an official single, it is one of the best known songs among their early work. "Opiate" serves as the final track of the Opiate EP and contains the hidden track, "The Gaping Lotus Experience."

The song's title and lyrics apparently elaborate on the Marxist concept that "religion is the opium of the masses". Keenan's lyrics liken religion to rape and abuse by a person or group of people to another person or group of people. The lyric "deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow, what you need is someone strong to guide you" supports this notion. Sometimes when played live, Keenan sings "...what you need is someone strong to use you". The song's chorus of "Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life, open my eyes and blind me with your lies" may refer to the antagonist, or his victim, either seeking forgiveness or salvation.

Opiates are alkaloid compounds found naturally in the opium poppy plant Papaver somniferum. The psychoactive compounds found in the opium plant include morphine, codeine, and thebaine. The term opiate should be differentiated from the broader term opioid, which includes all drugs with morphine-like effects, including opiates, semi-synthetic opioids derived from opiates (such as heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxycodone, and oxymorphone), and synthetic opioids which are not derived from opiates (such as fentanyl, buprenorphine, and methadone). All opioids, including the opiates, are considered drugs of high abuse potential and are listed on various "Substance-Control Schedules" under the Uniform Controlled Substances Act of the United States.

In 2013 between 13 and 20 million people used opiates recreationally (0.3% to 0.4% of the global population between the ages of 15 and 65).
