Per Wikipedia, Miriam Constance Beaumont-Vaughan (1901-1979), Better Known By Her Pseudonym Olive Moore, Was A Modernist English Writer Best Known For Three Well-Esteemed Novels: Celestial Seraglio (1929), Spleen (1930), And Fugue (1932), And For The Acerbic Essay Collection The Apple Is Bitten Again (1934). She Also Produced An Essay On D.H. Lawrence, Entitled Further Reflections On The Death Of A Porcupine, Which Was Privately Printed In 1933 And Included In Her Essay Collection. Her Collected Writings Was Published In 1992. Born In Hereford, Moore Was Acquainted With The Bloomsbury Literary Circles In London During Her Prolific Years, And With The Poet Hugh Mcdiarmid And The Radical London Bookseller And Publisher Charles Lahr. She Briefly Worked For The Daily Sketch. In The Early 1920'S, She Married The Sculptor Sava Botzaris (1894-1965). Otherwise, Little Is Known About Her Life, Beyond A Brief Autobiographic Sketch In 1933. Moore Claimed To Be Working On A Novel Entitled Amazon And Hero: The Drama Of The Greek War For Independence, Which Was Never Published. Due To Her Rapid Disappearance From The London Literary Scene, The Date And Location Of Her Death Remain Unknown, Though She Is Believed To Have Died Around 1970. Moore Has Been Termed "A Cross Between Virginia Woolf And Djuna Barnes, But With A More Biting Wit." Her Novels Make Free Use Of Modernist Techniques Such As Stream Of Consciousness In Their Frank Dealings With Issues Of Sexuality And Disability. Though Considered A Highly Talented Experimental Writer, Moore's Disappearance (And The Rarity Of Published Versions Of Her Texts Until The Mid-1990'S) Has Led To A Relative Critical Neglect Of Her Work, Until Recently.

Leicht gefertigte Medaille mit dem Bildnis des Heiligen Georg zu Pferde und dem Wahlspruch ''Adverso Flumine''(lateinisch für ''Gegen den Strom'') in den Kategorien 'Sport', 'Kultur' und 'Politik' an Persönlichkeiten verliehen wird, die sich um Deutschland, die neuen Bundesländer und um Sachsen verdient gemacht haben [sollen]. Die Verleihung des Ordens an den damaligen russischen Ministerpräsidenten Wladimir Putin im Jahr 2009 und die Laudatio des damaligen Ministerpräsidenten Tillich ernteten viel Kritik; daraufhin wurde der Preis ab 2010 in 'St. Georgs Orden' umbenannt. Aus den jeweiligen Jahren sind die Preisverleihungen mit den dazwischen stattfindenden Show-Acts und die Preisträger ausführlich abgebildet (2007: Maximilian Schell, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, Franz Beckenbauer; 2008: Kurt Masur, Lothar de Maizière, Henry Maske; 2009: Joachim Fuchsberger, Wladimir Putin, Matthias Steiner; 2010: Kurt Biedenkopf, [José Carreras und Michael Jackson postum, vertreten durch seine Schwester La Toya ohne Abbildung]; 2011: Til Schweiger, Roman Herzog, Bob Geldof; 2012: Ornella Muti, Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak [ägyptischer Ökonom], Helene Fischer, Roger Moore). Ausführlich dokumentiert werden auch der prachtvolle Debütantenball und der 'Semper Openairball' unter freiem Himmel vor der Semperoper, die beide wichtige Bestandteile der Veranstaltung sind.
