Diana Victoria Warcup Kirkbride-Halbaek (22 October 1915 – 13 August 1997) was a British archaeologist who specialised in the prehistory of the Near East.

She attended Wycombe Abbey School in High Wycombe and served in the Women's Royal Naval Service during the Second World War. She completed a postgraduate diploma at University College London in 1950 studying Mesopotamian and Palestinian archaeology under Sir Max Mallowan and Dame Kathleen Kenyon. Kirkbride went to work on the excavations of Jericho from 1952 to 1955. In 1953, she began fieldwork in Jordan, including the restoration of the Jerash Theatre and excavations at Petra in 1956. During her studies of the paleolithic and Neolithic of the area, she excavated a small rock shelter called Wadi Madamagh and made excavations at Ard Tlaili in Lebanon. She also discovered a major Neolithic site at Beidha where she led the excavations for the British School of Archaeology in Jerusalem from 1958 until 1967.

It was during this work that she met Danish paleobotanist Hans Helbaek whom she married at the end of the 1960s. She continued work in Iraq in the 1970s where she made another discovery of another Neolithic site called Umm Dabaghiyah. After her husband died of a stroke in the late 1970s she returned to Beidha for a season of excavations in 1983. She also finished work compiling the results from Beidha and Umm Dabaghiyah and started planning a new excavation of a Nabataean temple at Wadi Rum which was not completed before her death in August 1997 at Arrhus, Denmark.

Wonder Woman is a fictional character, a DC Comics superheroine created by William Moulton Marston. She first appeared in All Star Comics #8 (December 1941). The Wonder Woman title has been published by DC Comics almost continuously except for a brief hiatus in 1986.

Wonder Woman is a warrior Princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and was created by Marston, an American, as a "distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to a world torn by the hatred of men." Known in her homeland as Diana of Themyscira, her powers include superhuman strength, flight (even though the original Wonder Woman did not have this ability), super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses animal-like cunning skills and a natural rapport with animals, which has been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She uses her Lasso of Truth, which forces those bound by it to tell the truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile, and, in some stories, an invisible airplane.

John Kirkbride (born 17 February 1946, Ullapool, Scotland) is a Scottish singer, guitarist, songwriter and entertainer, currently residing in Germany.

Kirkbride plays blues and jazz standards from the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, as well as compositions of his own. His performances are characterized by audience participation and storytelling, especially funny or critical asides and anecdotes, often accompanied by authentic blues music.

At the age of eight, Kirkbride emigrated with his family from Scotland to Queensland, Australia. He was fascinated by his first guitar and learned to play it by him, without hasenting afraid of anything. He tuned his guitar on only one chord, not realising that the first generation of blues singers in the Mississippi Delta also tuned their guitars on a single chord for playing slide or bottleneck guitar (a technique called open tuning). Only years later would Kirkbride learn about the conventional tuning of a guitar.

Influenced by songwriters like Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, Neil Young, and Leonard Cohen, Kirkbride began to compose his own material. He was interested in the dialogue between text and music to this day, and texts, especially those with a critical and political point view, continue to be an important element of his musical style.
