Omni Learning Center Guide to Manners and Etiquette
by Lorraine Gerstl
Maanners are polite behaviors that reflect an attitude of consideration, kindness and respect for others. They are learned behaviors to be used every day to make a good impression on others and to feel good about yourself. Good manners go beyond opening doors and writing thank you notes. The really polite person is tuned in to other people's feelings and can put herself or himself in another person's shoes. Using good manners encourages others to act in a similar fashion.Etiquette expresses consideration, respect, and honesty, the three qualities that stand behind all the manners we have. Etiquette is timeless and crosses cultural boundaries, unlike manners, which can change over time and differ around the world. Without proper manners and etiquette, the customs of polite society would soon disappear and we would act more like animals and less like people.Good manners are a powerful source of self-confidence and help facilitate life’s relationships in general. Manners are important for considering the feelings of other people and being the kind of person others will like and respect., “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” the Golden Rule, exists in every culture on the planet.Good manners impress people and put them at ease. And people who are impressed and relaxed are more likely to respect you and agree to your requests. Manners make the world a better place. Best of all, good manners don’t cost a thing.

OMNI Learning Guide to Reading Comprehension Strategies
by Lorraine Gerstl
I know I should read more, but I’m so busy, it takes time to read, and so much of what I try to read doesn’t really make that much sense to me …” Those can be the words of a third grader or, just as easily, the words of an adult. In our hurry-up world of bits and bytes, and the need for instant gratification, the sad and simple truth is that people don’t read as much as they used to and, more tragic, they understand what they read far less than in the past.In this practical, hands-on Guide, the author, a Master Teacher with more than thirty-five years of practical success teaching both children and adults of all ages, shares her Ideas on teaching reading comprehension strategies! The underlying message she delivers is: Comprehensive Strategies are important because Reading is an Active, not a Passive, Process.Reading can seem incredibly complicated. It involves not only making sense of the squiggles on a page – deciphering the alphabetic code and figuring out the words, but reading also entails giving meaning to, understanding, and thereby enjoying what we read.Reading comprehension is absolutely critical to communication, whether it involves a doctor healing a patient, a lawyer presenting an argument in court, an astronaut needing to know how to repair a malfunction when he is thousands of miles above the earth, or, most important, enriching and widening the scope of your life! In fact, you cannot think of one area of learning or practice where understanding what you read is not absolutely essential.The more you understand what you read, the less of a drudgery and the more of a joy it becomes. Reading is the key that unlocks the door to the universe.Get ready to start a great adventure – and to grab hold of the key that will unlock the door to your universe!Lorraine Gerstl is truly a woman for all seasons!

Zwei Geschichten aus terroristischen Zeiten
by Ulrike Edschmid
"Sie dachten an Freiheit und gerieten in äußerste Unfreiheit." Die Rede ist von Astrid Proll, die sich 1968 mit Andreas Baader und Gudrun Ensslin zusammenschließt und für die das Leben in der Illegalität zunächst ein befreiender Ausbruch war. Und von Katharina de Fries, die 1968 in Berlin die Kinderläden mitbegründet, Hörspiele und Kinderbücher schreibt und 1980, 46 Jahre alt und Mutter von fünf Kindern, beim Überfall auf einen Geldboten verhaftet wird. Jenseits der deutschen Grenzen beginnen beide ein neues Leben. Ulrike Edschmid hat die weithin unbekannten Lebensgeschichten zweier Frauen geschrieben, die in der Öffentlichkeit mit dem Begriff "Terroristin" gebrandmarkt wurden. Mit dem sympathisierenden, dennoch distanzierten Blick der Zeitgenossin beschreibt sie Kindheit und Jugend in den Kriegs- und Nachkriegsjahren, kommt Erlebnissen auf die Spur, die den Schritt zur subversiv-befreienden Tat vorbereitet haben, und zeichnet ein klares Bild der Zeit der Studentenbewegung und der Jahre danach.
