Debra Jayne White (born May 1962) is a British accountant and businesswoman. She was the chief executive (CEO) of Interserve from September 2017 until the end of 2019. In March 2020, the UK Government asked White to advise it on the establishment of a UK-wide network of testing centres in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In December 2021, White was appointed HR director at BT Group, and, in July 2023, was announced as the next chair of The Co-operative Group with effect from February 2024.

Career

Early career
White trained as an accountant with Arthur Andersen, and later joined AstraZeneca and then PwC Consulting. In 2004, White was appointed as the chief financial officer of Sodexo's UK operations, and rose to become chief executive of government and healthcare worldwide.

CEO of Interserve

In September 2017, White succeeded Adrian Ringrose as CEO of Interserve. The company was "battling for survival" after warning it would breach bank loan covenants, and in early 2018 attempted to financially restructure its business. In November 2018, White said the group would unveil further plans to tackle its debt mountain in early 2019, later confirming a deleveraging plan that would result in "material dilution" for current Interserve shareholders. While the deal was agreed with lenders, it was subject to approval by Interserve's shareholders, and Interserve risked going into administration if that approval was not given. At an AGM on 15 March 2019, the deleveraging plan was rejected by shareholders, its shares were suspended, and Interserve's board applied for the parent company to be placed into administration while it pursued a pre-pack option. A new private company, Interserve Group Ltd, controlled by Interserve's existing lenders, emerged. In November 2019, Interserve announced an operational restructuring of the business; as a result, White left the business at the end of 2019.

Career, 2020-present
In March 2020, White took on an unpaid role to advise on the set up of a UK-wide network of testing centres as part of the UK Government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In December 2021, White was appointed HR Director at BT Group.

In July 2023, White was named as the next chair of The Co-operative Group. She was set to join the retail group as a non-executive director in August 2023, taking over as chair in February 2024.

White is a member of the Women 1st Top 100 Club.

Personal life
White has three sons.

The Brodsky Quartet was the second string quartet established and led by violinist Adolph Brodsky.

History
It was established in 1895 in Manchester, after Brodsky left New York and came to the English city to teach at the Royal Manchester College of Music and direct the Hallé Orchestra.

Brodsky played first violin, Rawdon Briggs played second violin, Simon Speelman played the viola, and Carl Fuchs played the cello. After the First World War the membership changed several times, with Brodsky the only original member.

Brodsky and Fuchs, who both admired Edward Elgar, met him in February 1900, when Hans Richter introduced them following a performance of the Enigma Variations Richter conducted in Manchester. Fuchs asked Elgar to compose a string quartet for the Brodsky Quartet. Several years later, in 1918, Elgar completed his String Quartet in E minor, Op. 83 and dedicated it to the Brodsky Quartet.

However, at the time Brodsky and Speelman were nearly seventy years of age and the remainder of the quartet in their fifties and the work premiere was given in London by the "British String Quartet", led by Albert Sammons.

Brodsky had formed the first Brodsky Quartet in Leipzig in 1884.

Yang Buzhi (1098–1167) was born in Qingjiang (modern Huai'an), Jiangxi Province, in China.

He is regarded as a master of ink paintings of plum blossoms in the Song Dynasty, and developed techniques which influenced later painters.  He "resolved the depiction of flowering plum into a linear system built from brushstrokes and structures adapted from calligraphy".

Four Stages of Blossoming Plum, circa 1165, is the only surviving work that can be attributed to him with certainty.

Erding () is a town in Bavaria, Germany, and capital of the rural district of the same name. It had a population of 36,469 in 2019.

The original Erdinger Weissbier is a well-known Bavarian specialty. 

Erding is located around 31 kilometers northeast of central Munich, about a 30-minute drive by car.
Regular S-Bahn trains connect to Munich and beyond.

History

Evidence of prehistoric hunter/gatherers in the Erding area dates to c. 6000 BC, findings including an axe made of deer antler. Excavations of two dwellings of at least 6.5 metres in length near Altenerding from c. 2500 BC provide the first evidence of permanent agricultural based inhabitants, while some twenty early Bronze Age graveyards from c. 1800 BC have been found in Langenpreising.

Erding was founded in 1228–1230, developing as a township on an alternative route from Landshut to Munich. Erding became known as a border town, midway between the two rival cities. During the Thirty Years' War, Erding was taken twice by Swedish troops, who plundered it and set it on fire.

In 1945, several Allied air raids on the nearby military airport damaged the city and killed numerous inhabitants.

On March 24, 1950 three Douglas DC-3s from Czechoslovakia were simultaneously hijacked. All three planes landed in Erding, West Germany. 26 of 85 passengers stayed in West Germany to escape from Czechoslovakia's Communist regime.

In 1972 Erding was connected to Munich's S-Bahn network. In 1992 Munich Airport was opened; the decision to build a major airport on the ecologically sensitive Erdinger Moos had been a source of controversy during the previous decade. The airport has attracted new businesses and additional population to the area.

Economy
Farm fields surround Erding and large agricultural vehicles are a common sight on local roads.  Local crops include corn for animal feed, wheat, sunflowers, carrots, white/red/blue/green cabbages, strawberries, kohlrabi, turnips, and sugar beet.  Farm animals are normally kept in stables and are mostly limited to pigs, chickens and cows. Fish farming in privately owned lakes is also practised.  Gardening is also practiced in Erding, but is limited by the relatively cool climate.

Tadeusz Makowski (29 January 1882, Oświęcim - 1 November 1932, Paris) was a Polish painter who worked in France and was associated with the School of Paris.

Biography 
From 1902 to 1906, he studied classical philology at the Jagiellonian University. During that time, he also began studying art at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts with Jan Stanisławski and Józef Mehoffer. Upon completing his courses there in 1908, he moved to Paris, where he would live for the rest of his life.

Originally he painted in the style taught by his professors. Then, he painted some frescoes that attracted the attention of a group of Cubist painters, led by Henri Le Fauconnier, who worked in Montparnasse. This had a decisive influence on his work.

At the invitation of Władysław Ślewiński, he spent the war years in Brittany and would return there several times. These trips inspired him to depart from strict cubism and go back to studying nature; creating many stylized landscapes.

Later, his favorite subjects were carnivals, fairs and children, done in a style inspired by the old Dutch Masters, Polish folk art and naïve art. He also did woodcut book illustrations. During the 1920s, he lived briefly in the Netherlands. From 1912 to 1931, he kept a diary that was published in Warsaw in 1961 by the State Publishing Institute (PIW).
