The Adventures of Lucky Pierre: Director's Cut is a novel by Robert Coover, published in 2002. The title is the same as a 1961 nudie cutie film, and like the film, the novel is divided into multiple vignettes, starring the title character Pierre.

The subtitle is an allusion to the now widespread practice of releasing director's cuts in addition to final cuts. There is no director's cut for the film.

An alternate subtitle "Raw Footage," had been used until publication, including the advanced reading copies. Several reviews were published with the alternate subtitle, while illustrating the book cover with the final subtitle. See, for example, Publishers Weekly. See also Internet Archive.

Unlike the film, the novel has an overriding metafictional theme, driven by Pierre seeking to escape from fiction.

Excerpts

Lucky Pierre was written over a period of thirty years, with numerous excerpts published separately.

Three excerpts were published in :

 "Home Movies: Lucky Pierre and the Phantom Ass".
 "Lucky Pierre in the Bath".

Dedication
The novel was dedicated to "Saint Buster, Saint Luis, and Saint Jean-Luc.”  These are Buster Keaton, Luis Buñuel, Jean-Luc Godard, as is clear from a brief interview Coover gave in The New Yorker, where he mentioned the dedication, and said several of their films would be in his top fifty.

Organization
The novel is divided into nine chapters, called "reels". (The first chapter also includes the "titles".)  Each reel is named for the woman director who is controlling Pierre for that chapter. In the ninth reel, all nine women are present, parading in Greek costume, identifying themselves as the nine muses:

The nagaika (, ) is a short, thick whip with round cross-section used by Cossacks, borrowed from Nogai people, hence the original name "nogaika", or "Nogai's whip". It is also called камча, kamcha from the Turkic word "kamci" for "whip". The latter word is also used for short whips of Central Asian origin.

The nagaika was made out of leather strips by braiding. It was possible to have a piece of metal at the tip of the whip.

The main purpose of a nagaika was to urge a horse. A metal piece was used for defense against wolves. According to Vladimir Dahl's "Explanatory Dictionary of the Live Great Russian language", this nagayka was called volkoboy (волкобой, "wolf-slayer").

In modern times the descriptions of the military use of nagaika tend to be mythologized, and in the past the prime and predominant use was to drive horse. At the same time nagaika was known to be used against unarmed people, e.g., for corporal punishment or to disperse public disorders (e.g., during Russian Revolutions), so that a cossack with nagayka has become a symbol of tsarist oppression. 

In 2005 the Cossacks were reformed and armed with nagaikas in addition to other traditional weapons. In 2014, members of Pussy Riot were attacked by Cossacks wielding nagaikas and pepper spray while protesting.

Nine Longings () form one of the 17 major sections of the ancient Chinese poetry collection, the Chu ci. The "Nine Longings" consists of ten poems (or, nine plus luan envoi), each individually titled, written according to the style of the earlier pieces in the Chu ci anthology. It is one of the several collections of poems grouped under the title of "Nine" something-or-others, most but not all of which consist of 9 pieces of poetry. One of the older of them, Jiu ge ("Nine Songs") consists of 11 individual pieces: "nine" in antiquity was often used as a synonym for "many", and in the context of the Chu ci generally refers to a musical arrangement with "nine" modal changes. (Hawkes, 2011 [1985]: 36–37) The "Nine Longings" poems were written by the Han Dynasty royal librarian, Wang Yi, who is more famous for his commentary on the Chu ci than he is for these original works which he appended to his published annotated copy. (Hawkes, 2011 [1985]: 307)

Content
Wang Yi manages to produce somewhat of a Confucian version of Chuci poetry, using its conventionalized symbolism. In nine verses with an envoi:

I Meeting with Reproach (Feng you)
II Resentment against the Ruler (Yuan shang)
III Impatience with the World (Ji shi)
IV Pity for the Ruler (Min shang)
V Running into Danger (Zan e)
VI Grieving over Disorder (Dao luan)
VII Distressed by These Times (Shang shi)
VIII Lament for the Year (Ai sui)
IX Maintaining Resolution (Shou zhi)
X Luan

Baycourt Community and Arts Centre is a multi-purpose performing arts and theatre facility in Tauranga, New Zealand. It was designed by Warren and Mahoney,  and has a main auditorium, the Addison Theatre, that seats 589.  The Addison Theatre is named after Bob Addison, chairman of a group of local residents who formed the Tauranga Community Arts Council and developed the original proposal for a community and arts centre in 1974. It took nine years of fundraising and planning before the centre was built and officially opened in 1983.

Warren and Mahoney won an award for their design, from the Waikato Bay of Plenty branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects.

One of the unusual features of Baycourt is its Wurlizter organ. The instrument is a 1926 Mighty Wurli (2/10 Wurlitzer Model H Opus 1482). It was originally installed in a theatre in Wellington, then moved to a shed in Tokoroa, and then into the former Tauranga Town Hall before being installed in Baycourt.

Siemowit of Cieszyn () ( – 25 September 1391) was a Polish prince, member of the Piast dynasty in the Cieszyn branch.

He was the fifth son of Casimir I, Duke of Cieszyn, by his wife Euphemia, daughter of Duke Trojden I of Czersk-Warsaw.

Life
Like most of Casimir I's children, Siemowit was destined to the cleric since his early years, together with two of his sisters (Jolanta Helena and Elisabeth), and two of his brothers (Bolesław and Jan). The main reason for why Casimir I put three of his five sons to follow a church career was to prevent further division of the already small Duchy of Cieszyn between them after his death. In addition, the Duke of Cieszyn, as a loyal vassal of the Bohemian Kings, hoped to obtain the help of them in obtaining high ecclesiastical dignities for his sons.

As a Teutonic Knight, Siemowit was successively named komturem of Oleśnica Mała near Oława since 1360, Prior of Poland, Bohemia, Moravia, Austria, Styria and Carinthia since 1372 and Governor and Treasurer of the Order in Germany since 1384.

Siemowit's place of burial is unknown.

Eta Gamma Delta () is a Puerto Rican sorority established in 1928.

History
In March 1928 a group of young ladies enrolled in the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras founded Eta Gamma Delta Sorority.  Its first president was Margarita Ortiz Toro. During the presidency of Beatriz del Toro in 1929, the sorority was recognized by university authorities. By 1932, an alumnus chapter called "Capitulo Pasivo" was organized in San Juan during the presidency of Conchita Santana Campos.

In 1940, on the (Colegio de Agricultura y Artes Mecanicas) now the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez Gilda Cernuda, Socorro Gaztambide, Aida Gauthier, Iris Ramírez, Catín Rllán, Doris Pérez, and others founded Delta Phi Omega sorority, it was the first sorority at the campus. On April 14, 1941, the then-president of the Alpha chapter of Eta Gamma Delta, Annie Bonar, invited this new group to join Eta Gamma Delta as its Beta chapter. After several meetings and visits by the Eta sisters, all the Delta Phi Omega sisters took the formal initiation and became part of the Eta Gamma Delta.

In 1943 the Alumni chapter at Mayagüez was established, calling itself the Zona Beta, their first president was Virginia Ramírez. It was then that the need for a central governing body became apparent. In 1944, the first Directiva General or central office was established with Eleonor Lawton as its first president.

In March 1946, the ladies of Delta Omega Mu local sorority met with Eta Gamma Delta member Sarah Torres Peralta. The purpose of their visit was to discuss with her the idea of Eta Gamma Delta establishing its Gamma chapter in the Interamerican University at San Germán where Delta Omega Mu was located. After several meetings and discussions, the ladies of Delta Omega Mu and others of the Beta chapter at Mayagüez who studied at the Interamerican became the Gamma chapter of Eta Gamma Delta.  Their first chapter president was Rosarito Armstrong.

In 1949, the Delta chapter was founded by the Catholic University at Ponce. Its first chapter president was Rosarito Armstrong, the same sister who had been the first president of Gamma chapter.  In 1955 an alumnus chapter - Zona - was founded at Ponce; its first president was Práxes Torres de García. In 1990 the Zeta chapter was established at the University of Sagrado Corazon.  By February 1990 the Kappa Zona was established in Arecibo. In 1991 on an annual convention the Kappa chapter was re-instated.  Most recently Zone Omega was established in 2007 in the state of Florida.
