During the 1996–97 English football season, Queens Park Rangers competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary
In August 1996, media tycoon Chris Wright, a QPR fan for 20 years, bought the club and also stated his plans for London Wasps to distribute the stadium.

Wright later suggested forming a new Loftus Road plc, including both QPR and London Wasps, on the Alternative Investment Market. A month later, Ray Wilkins left the club by mutual consent after a board meeting when he wanted money in an attempt to sign 34-year-old Ghana skipper Abedi Pele as well as being pushed to retire from his playing career. Ex-Arsenal caretaker manager Stewart Houston took over the reins with former Arsenal manager Bruce Rioch as his assistant.

Houston's first signing for QPR broke the club's previous transfer record when Scottish international striker John Spencer was signed from Chelsea for £2.35 million in November 1996. A month later, his ex-Chelsea teammate and former QPR player Gavin Peacock rejoined the club for a second spell. Northern Ireland international Steve Morrow also joined from Arsenal.

Ultimately, QPR's poor home form during the season cost them a chance of a play-off place and they finished 9th, five points outside the play-off places.

John Davenport (died 6 January 1941) was a British trade unionist.

Davenport came to prominent as an activist in the United Order of General Labourers (UOGL), working alongside Bob Merry.  He was identified by Ben Tillett as one of the most able officials in the various unions of general workers.  In 1913, he became the general secretary of the UOGL, also representing it at the Trades Union Congress (TUC).  He was elected to the General Council of the TUC in 1921 but, the following year he took the UOGL into the new Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU), and thereby became ineligible to defend his seat on the general council.

In 1924, Davenport was re-elected to the General Council of the TUC, this time as a representative of the TGWU.  He served until his retirement in 1934, at which time he was described by President of the TUC Andrew Conley as "...one of those quiet steady workers with rather a retiring disposition".

Bell Duncan (8 August 1849 – 5 January 1934), also known as Isobel, Isabella and Elizabeth, was a traditional singer from Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

She was born in Forgue, Aberdeenshire in 1849, to George Duncan (1814-1903) a farmer, and Jane Duncan (née Hutcheon) (1807-1884), from whom she learnt most of her songs. She worked as a housekeeper and had three children.

She had an enormous repertoire of around 300 traditional songs which were recorded by the song collector James Madison Carpenter, including 60 of the Child Ballads, many of which have never been recorded from the mouths of any other source singer. Hundreds of Carpenter's recordings of Bell Duncan are available on the Vaughan William Memorial Library website with Carpenter's transcriptions of the lyrics, including her performances of ballads such as The Elfin Knight, Geordie, Lord Bateman, Barbara Allen, Binorie, and other far rarer old ballads such as The White Fisher, Fair Mary of Wallington and The Gardener Lad.

In The Turning, "a malevolent matriarch as corrosive in her effect on a family as any military dictator on a nation's destiny. Caroline McKenzie's Nan, steely and precise in gesture, is a fine study in understated menace."

Barbadian–Surinamese relations are diplomatic relations between Barbados and Suriname. Both countries established diplomatic relations on 7 February 1977. Neither country has a resident ambassador. Barbados is accredited to Suriname from Bridgetown.  Suriname is represented in Barbados through its embassy in Port of Spain, (Trinidad and Tobago).

Early history
In 1650, the governor of Barbados Francis Willoughby, 5th Baron Willoughby of Parham sent a ship to establish a colonial settlement in Surinam. Lord Willoughby later visited the colony, to assist with its development. Fort Willoughby, under the command of Governor Lieutenant-General William Byam, was captured by Dutchmen from the State of Zeeland under the command of Abraham Crijnssen on 27 February 1667 after a 3-hour fight. The Dutch changed the name of Fort Willoughby to Fort Zeelandia and established Dutch control over the whole colony.

Bilateral relations 
On 17 February 2005 the leaders of Barbados and Suriname signed the "Agreement for the deepening of bilateral cooperation between the Government of Barbados and the Government of the Republic of Suriname, Mia Mottley the new Prime Minister of Barbados recently paid the Republic of Suriname a three day visit which took place on November 14th through to the 16th 2020."

On 23–24 April 2009 both nations formed a Joint Commission in Paramaribo, Suriname to improve relations between both countries and to expand into various areas of cooperation. Since the first meeting a second one was held on 3–4 March 2011 in Dover, Barbados. At the second meeting several areas of mutual interest were reviewed including: agriculture, trade, investment, as well as international transport, entertainment, culture and tourism.

Trade
Trade between both nations is in Suriname's favour due to Barbados importation of Suriname's Bunker 'C' grade fuel oil. Because of the importance of natural resources, both governments discussed their overlapping maritime boundaries in 2007.

Grass skiing, skiing on grass, is a training method for alpine skiing and an established sport of its own. The skis used for grass skiing are short with rolling treads or wheels. These skis are attached to the skiers' boots. Depending on the skill of the grass skier, high speeds and jumps can be navigated.

Grass skiing was invented by Josef Kaiser in Germany in 1963.  It was created initially as a training method for skiers before the winter season.

Originally, skis used in grass skiing were like rolling treads attached to the ski boots. Currently  there are two types of skis used in grass skiing. These are the wheeled models and the tracked ones. The wheeled model can be used in various terrains and for freestyle skiing and off-piste skiing. The tracked model on the other hand is specifically designed to be used on grass slopes.

Pougol is a town situated in Lim-Pendé, Central African Republic. Until 2020, the town was part of Ouham-Pendé.

History 
RJ captured Pougol from ex-Seleka in June 2014. In September 2014, Anti-balaka seized Pougol from RJ. In an act of revenge against Anti Balaka's seizure of the town, RJ torched 26 houses belonging to the relatives of ex-APRD members who refused to join RJ. This battle caused the residents to flee to the bush on 13 September 2014.

MPC ambushed two MINUSCA patrol vehicles in Pougol on 23 August 2018. 3R and former Seleka militias attacked a vehicle owned by NGO in June 2019. They robbed the passenger's belongings and stole the vehicle.

On 8 June 2020, 3R attacked the FACA-MINUSCA checkpoint in Pougol. As a result, residents fled to the bush, Paoua, and nearby villages.

CPC rebels burned a bridge located 7 km from Pougol that provides access to the village on 10 March 2021. As a result, Pougol was isolated.

MINUSCA constructed the Poungol town hall, and it was inaugurated on 4 July 2022.

Economy 
Agriculture is the main economic sector for the resident's livelihood. A small number of people were also engaged in small-scale business enterprises.

Education 
There is one school in Pougol.

Healthcare 
Pougol has one health post in which the medical supplies were provided by MSF.
