Chairman, managing director, Global Investment House
Kuwait
Although Al-Ghunaim, 47, founded Global Investment House in 1998, she turned down the top post in deference to an older male banker. Reason: Being a woman, Al-Ghunaim could not socialize after work with other businessmen in private homes, as is the custom in Kuwait, a time where deals are often clinched. This past March, she finally garnered the title of chairman. “History and experience have proven to me that if you get the deals, people will come to you,” she says. Under her leadership, the investment bank has grown to manage more than $7 billion in assets. Recently, it got permission to operate in Qatar, and next wants to establish a presence in Saudi Arabia. Al-Ghunaim is in the process of raising a $1.5 billion buyout fund co-sponsored by Bear Stearns and JP Morgan Cazenove, which will then shop it to European pension funds and hedge funds in the U.S. Al-Ghunaim thinks there are plenty of opportunities in the Middle East and North Africa, especially after the recent correction in regional stock markets. She sits on more than a half dozen boards, and chairs the Kuwaiti chapter of Young Arab Leaders, a pan-Arab organization, which promotes education and entrepreneurship.—Zina Moukheiber

You and your partner lie on your sides facing the same direction. First, you lower your crotch onto his, wrapping your legs around either side of his torso. Your arms should be stretched out behind you supporting your weight. He then encircles your waist with his legs and grips your upper thighs and thrusts gently.
Like most side-by-side sex positions, this one promises a kind of ecstasy equality but with a head-on twist. “This position is well-suited for shallow penetrations,” says Joan Elizabeth Lloyd, author of Now and Forever: Let’s Make Love (Warner Books, 1997). Why would you want to dabble instead of really doing it deep? By concentrating on your outer banks, your guy can tease the turbo-charged nerve endings in the first third of your vagina while also tantalizing the packed-with-nerve-endings head of his penis.

Gandhi, the Italian-born leader of India’s most powerful political party, the Indian National Congress Party, has come far since entering politics in the 1990s. Lawmakers recently elected Gandhi’s choice for president, Pratibha Patil, in a historic vote seen as a step forward for India’s women and girls who endure daily discrimination. The vote, however, saw angry allegations leveled against Patil, over purported corruption and criminal activity in her family. Though the position is largely ceremonial, Patil is now India’s first female president, and her victory is a sign that the role of women in the country’s often male-dominated political scene may improve. “This is a special moment for women across the country,” Gandhi said. “It shows India is committed to women.” Gandhi is widely revered by her fellow countrymen, especially among India’s poor as well as its vast agricultural population. Gandhi is continuously concerned that India’s rapid economic growth is leaving the poor behind, and that her country is not doing enough to help its farmers. She has opposed a government plan to introduce special economic zones to encourage foreign investment in the country. Recently Gandhi stood up to politically powerful opponents in blocking their attempt to nullify an anti-corruption law meant to curb corruption among the country’s massive bureaucracy.—Heidi Brown

This move requires a little equipment prep. Find a reclining lawn chair or bench (narrow enough for you to get your legs wound around), or line up three backless chairs. Have your man lie down with his arms at his side and his legs together. Facing his toes, straddle his lap and plant both feet on the ground. Next, back yourself down onto his penis. Start moving your hips, back and forth, up and down, and side-to-side — all while he enjoys the killer view of your pivoting posterior.
This fresh entry angle gives you a sweet new sensation on the back wall of your vagina. Move your booty in circular motions around his penis to hit all your pleasure spots. Make sure not to hold back in the sound department so you both know how much the other is enjoying this randy recline ride.

A remote army camp in the mountains is assigned a new commander. During his first inspection, he notices that there is a donkey tied to a tree on the edge of camp. The commander asks what it’s for. One of the soldiers who has been stationed there for a while explains that the men sometimes get lonely, since there are no women in camp, so they have the donkey. After a few weeks, the commander is feeling pretty lonely himself, so he orders the men to bring the donkey to his tent, and he goes to work on it. After about an hour, the commander comes out, zipping up his pants, and says, “So, is that how the other men do it?” One of the men responds, “No, we usually just use the donkey to ride into town.”

The daughter of an Iranian airline executive, Amanpour began her career as a reporter for a radio station in Providence, R.I., and is now said to be the world’s highest-paid reporter.

Lie faceup at the edge of a bed, desk, or countertop. Place a pillow under your butt to get some elevation. Extend your legs straight up, keeping them close together. You can put your hands under the pillow to raise your pelvis even higher, use them to hold on to the counter or desk for leverage, or keep them free. Your partner then enters you while standing up; if the bed or desk is low, he can kneel on the floor. He can grip your feet for leverage, which will give him the extra stability he needs to thrust more deeply.
Keeping your legs together means he feels fuller inside you, so you’re creating lots of blissful friction and an incredibly tight fit. Give him a show and drive yourself wild by stimulating your clitoris while he’s thrusting away.

It’s not many people that can say they know me, from back when I was new to the game. At the bottom of the hill working my way up. My friend B.J de Guzman knows what I’m talking about. We met back when he was up at Azzure, now Mr. Guzman is currently rocking with one of the illest female lingerie line, Little Hill. I’m such a huge fan of the line!!

Nobel Peace Laureate
Myanmar
Still under house arrest since her party won democratic elections in 1990, Aung San Suu Kyi, 60, continues to attract world attention. Because of her plight, her country has seen a dramatic drop-off in international investment and tourism, which world leaders hope will pressure its ruling junta into installing a democracy, though that doesn’t appear likely anytime soon. The leader of Myanmar’s pro-democracy National League for Democracy was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991. The ruling junta has no plans to release her in the foreseeable future. —A.M.

Ingredients:
- 100 g sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 220 ml milk
- 200 ml cream
- 150 g dark (70%) chocolate
- 45 ml (3 tablespoons) whiskey
What to do:
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water or a in a microwave. Take care chocolate melts at a low temperature (ca. 37C) and it burns easily, so once it’s melted, remove from the heat!
- Beat the sugar and egg yolks together until pale yellow.
- Bring the milk to a low simmer.
- Remove from the heat and beat the milk into the egg and sugar mixture in a slow stream. Pour the mixture back into the pan and place over low heat.
- Stir continuously until the custard thickens slightly (around 65-70C) and just coats the back of a spoon. Don;t over-heat, though, because at around 76C you will scramble the eggs! Immediately remove from the heat.
- Add to the melted chocolate in small parts and mix thoroughly until smooth and velvety.
- Cover the chocolate custard with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cool.
Stir in the whiskey.- Whip the cream until it has doubled in volume (you should have soft peaks – don’t over-whip).
- Fold the cream (gently stir) into the custard.
- Freeze using a domestic ice cream machine, or cover and place in the freezer, stirring every few hours to break up the ice crystals.
- If you’re using a domestic ice cream machine, transfer to a freezer-proof covered container when the ice cream has achieved a semi-solid consistency (around 15 minutes). Place it in the freezer, and continue to freeze until it is solid.
Yield: 8 servings.
