Daily News… BILL GATES SAYS FAME NOT GOAL IN AID WORK Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest men and highest profile aid donors, said he doesn’t care if he’s forgotten after his death -- as long as polio and other major diseases have been eradicated. «I don’t need to be remembered at all,» the co-founder of Microsoft, 57, told AFP in New York. Gates has a fortune estimated by Forbes at $66 billion, second only to Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim, and the satisfaction of knowing that Microsoft products are at the heart of computers in every corner of the world. But he says that since quitting the running of Microsoft and focusing on his Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, it’s the world’s poorest that have his attention. «None of the people who are at risk of polio know anything about me, nor should they. They are dealing with day to day life and the fact that their child might get crippled,» Gates said in an interview at a posh Manhattan hotel. The foundation has already paid out $25 billion to projects fighting disease and extreme poverty. There’s currently about $36 billion left in the pot -- and it’s all going to go. «My wife and I have decided that our foundation will spend all its money within 20 years of when neither of us are around, so we’re not trying to create some perpetual thing,» Gates said. Target number one is polio, which has now been eradicated in India. Gates says a worldwide end to the crippling childhood disease is feasible, with only Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan the trouble spots. «Within my lifetime, polio’s not the only disease we should be able to eradicate. Even malaria -- although that’s more like a several decades effort -- should be within reach,» he said. Gates said that traditional government aid packages from rich countries to poor countries have been inefficient, or worse.

US toymaker Mattel has licensed Taiwan’s restaurant group Sinlaku to operate the Barbie Cafe and hopes that the new establishment in a bustling shopping district in the capital Taipei will help promote Barbie as a fashion brand. «We picked Taiwan because theme restaurants are very popular and successful here.

DREAM MOUSTACHE Already known the world over for its baths, coffee and sweet Turkish delights, Turkey is on the road to adding another item to its roster of specialities: the moustache. Lip whiskers remain a highly sought-after mark of manliness in Turkey and the Middle East to the point that the naturally less hairy are increasingly seeking out moustache transplants at the hands of Turkish cosmetic surgeons. Among them is Selahattin Tulunay, head of a thriving private practice that once specialised in hair transplants but has been adapted to cater to the increasing demand for moustaches.
