Lasso
A lasso ( or ), also called lariat, riata, or reata (all from Castilian, la reata 're-tied rope'), is a loop of rope designed as a restraint to be thrown around a target and tightened when pulled. It is a well-known tool of the Spanish and Mexican cowboy, then adopted by the cowboys of the United States. The word is also a verb; ''to lasso'' is to throw the loop of rope around something. Overview A lasso is made from stiff rope so that the noose stays open when the lasso is thrown. It also allows the cowboy to easily open up the noose from horseback to release the cattle because the rope is stiff enough to be pushed a little. A high quality lasso is weighted for better handling. The lariat has a small reinforced loop at one end, called a ''honda'' or ''hondo'', through which the rope passes to form a loop. The ''honda'' can be formed by a honda knot (or another loop knot), an eye splice, a seizing, rawhide, or a metal ring. The other end is sometimes tied simply in a sm ...

Giulio Lasso
Giulio Lassi, also known as Lasso and Scalzo (born before 1569; died 1612) was an Italian sculptor and architect, best known for his work in Palermo, Sicily. He was born, presumably in Rome, from Giovanni Domenico Lassi, a carpenter, and Camilla de Roberti; after the death of Giovanni Domenico, his mother married Giovanni di Lorenzo, called "the Moretto", also a carpenter, on April 25, 1569. His younger step-brother Orazio Borgianni (born 1574), a painter, was trained by Lasso, as Giovanni Baglione referred in his biography of Orazio, published in 1642. Baglione also affirms that Giulio took the surname of "Scalzo" when he was a pupil of the sculptor Ludovico Scalza, and refers that he finally moved to Sicily. Lasso's most famous works are the statue of St. James the Great, in the Dome of Messina (destroyed during the 2nd World War) and the Quattro Canti, an eight sided piazza in the centre of Palermo. The result of a road straightening and widening scheme, the Quattri Canti is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lasso (album)
''Lasso'' is the upcoming tenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. It is scheduled to be released through Interscope Records and Polydor Records. The album is set to mark the first country project by the singer. Background Based on her previous works, Lana Del Rey has been labeled an " alt-pop" or alternative pop artist by critics. She believed that after her 2019 album ''Norman Fucking Rockwell!'', things took a "huge turn"; she feared that she would be "scared into making safe choices" and decided to take "cool-off"s after releases to "reevaluate things". In November 2020, Del Rey considered releasing "a digital record of American standards and classics for Christmas" but ended up not doing so. The following year, Del Rey announced that she had recorded an entire cover album of country songs, inspired by her singles " Ride" (2012) and " Video Games" (2011); she elaborated: "I went back and listened to 'Ride' and 'Video Games' and thought, you know th ...

De La Salle Supervised Schools
The De La Salle Supervised Schools is a network of Lasallian private schools in the Philippines under the wing of the Lasallian Schools Supervision Services Association, Inc. (LASSSAI) through its mission arm, the ''Lasallian Schools Supervision Office (LASSO)''. History Origins Based on recorded history, the De La Salle Brothers' supervision began, albeit informally, as far back as 1954. Brothers doing "supervision" during the early days were just performing "individual apostolates". Although significant and very memorable to beneficiaries of such a ministry, the initial attempts were very unceremonious. In fact, there were three attempts to set up an office for the De La Salle Supervised Schools prior to 1995- one was in 1963, in the then La Salle College-Bacolod, intended for the hacienda-supervised schools. This was an office composed of a Brother Supervisor, a Lay Supervisor and a full-time secretary. The office closed in 1977 when the Lay Supervisor resigned. The second a ...
