Joanne "Jo" Rowling, better known as J. K. Rowling, is a British novelist, best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. The Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, sold more than 400 million copies to become the best-selling book series in history and been the basis for a popular series of films, in which Rowling had overall approval on the scripts as well as maintaining creative control by serving as a producer on the final instalment. Rowling conceived the idea for the series on a train trip from Manchester to London in 1990. Rowling has led a "rags to riches" life story, in which she progressed from living on social security to multi-millionaire status within five years. As of March 2011, when its latest world billionaires list was published, Forbes estimated Rowling's net worth to be US$1 billion.[9] The 2008 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling's fortune at £560 million ($798 million), ranking her as the twelfth richest woman in the United Kingdom. Forbes ranked Rowling as the forty-eighth most powerful celebrity of 2007, and Time magazine named her as a runner-up for its 2007 Person of the Year, noting the social, moral, and political inspiration she has given her fans. In October 2010, J. K. Rowling was named 'Most Influential Woman in Britain' by leading magazine editors. She has become a notable philanthropist, supporting such charities as Comic Relief, One Parent Families, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain, and Lumos (formerly the Children's High Level Group). On February 23, 2012, Little, Brown & Company announced it would publish Rowling's first novel for adults.
Коала The koala is a familiar Australian symbol. Koalas have soft, wool-like grey fur. They have a large, round head with large, round, furry ears, a large nose and long strong limbs with sharp claws. The koala look like little bear, but the koala ‘bear’ is not a bear at all. Koala is a marsupial mammal. Eucalyptus trees are the primary habitat of Koalas and they are rarely observed anywhere else. Koalas are very fussy. Koalas eat only leaves and bark from eucalyptus trees. Koalas get a lot of moisture from eucalyptus leaves, so they don’t have to drink a lot of water, because in Aboriginal language, the word Koala is thought to mean "does not drink". Koalas vary in size and colour depending on where they live in Australia. A baby Koala is called a joey. Joeys are only around 2 cm long when born and like most other marsupials, Koala mothers keep their joeys in their pouch for around 6 months.
Koalas can live up to 10 years in the wild. In the 20th, century population of koalas declined to such an extent that they were included in the endangered animals list.
