The beautiful Forbush-Hazard Federal Colonial dates back to the late 18th / early 19th century with both historic and architectural heritage worthy of notice. The noted residence is framed by fruit baring trees, stonewalls and is nestled on a flat, lawn swept lot, surrounded by cottage-style gardens with overtones of an English aesthetic. The grounds present a natural sense of enclosure with a patio and recreational expanse.
The eye-catching home is characterized by its lovely center entrance, flanked with the color of flowering plants and a prominent sycamore tree, dating back to pre civil war.

The spacious floor plan is designed for the way you live presenting a harmonious blend between formal and casual rooms, allowing for graceful entertaining. Living areas are also private yet give the feel of being connected.
As the heart of the home, the kitchen, has an adjoining breakfast/sitting area that is inviting with its brick hearth wood stove, walls of windows and French doors that provide captivating backyard sight lines and gardens.
Features of the kitchen include fully updated appliances, white cabinetry, handsome corian countertops and a crafted back-splash that compliments the various wood tones throughout the house. The kitchen adjoins a family room with a wall of built-ins and a butler's pantry connecting the kitchen to the formal dining room.

Harvard is characterized by colonial and Victorian homes, churches, town hall and library clustered around a historic common; winding roads lined with trees and often marked by stone walls; many historic farm houses and several working apple and peach orchards in outlying areas; and the four centuries old village of Still River with its stunning western vistas.
The town is rich in character and tradition. The area is still rural with protected conservation land and Prospect Hill views, open space, Bare Hill pond for swimming and boating. The General Store is a focal point in the center and now offers a fun Pub Night with live music on the weekends. The Center on the Common is rich in character.
Bare Hill Pond, a 330-acre lake where swimming, sailing and canoeing lessons are offered in the summer and cross country skiing and skating take place in winter. There are over 2,000 acres of conservation land throughout the town, much of it interconnected by walking trails.

George Bernard Shaw | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
George Bernard Shaw
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
George Bernard Shaw (26 July 1856 – 2 November 1950), known at his insistence simply as Bernard Shaw, was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. His influence on Western theatre, culture and politics extended from the 1880s to his death and beyond. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1912) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Born in Dublin, Shaw moved to London in 1876, where he struggled to establish himself as a writer and novelist, and embarked on a rigorous process of self-education. By the mid-1880s he had become a respected theatre and music critic. Following a political awakening, he joined the gradualist Fabian Society and became its most prominent pamphleteer. Shaw had been writing plays for years before his first public success, Arms and the Man in 1894. Influenced by Henrik Ibsen, he sought to introduce a new realism into English-language drama, using his plays as vehicles to disseminate his political, social and religious ideas. By the early twentieth century his reputation as a dramatist was secured with a series of critical and popular successes that included Major Barbara, The Doctor's Dilemma and Caesar and Cleopatra.
Shaw's expressed views were often contentious; he promoted eugenics and alphabet reform, and opposed vaccination and organised religion. He courted unpopularity by denouncing both sides in the First World War as equally culpable, and although not a republican, castigated British policy on Ireland in the postwar period. These stances had no lasting effect on his standing or productivity as a dramatist; the inter-war years saw a series of often ambitious plays, which achieved varying degrees of popular success. In 1938 he provided the screenplay for a filmed version of Pygmalion for which he received an Academy Award. His appetite for politics and controversy remained undiminished; by the late 1920s he had largely renounced Fabian Society gradualism and often wrote and spoke favourably of dictatorships of the right and left—he expressed admiration for both Mussolini and Stalin. In the final decade of his life he made fewer public statements, but continued to write prolifically until shortly before his death, aged ninety-four, having refused all state honours, including the Order of Merit in 1946.
Since Shaw's death scholarly and critical opinion has varied about his works, but he has regularly been rated as second only to Shakespeare among British dramatists; analysts recognise his extensive influence on generations of English-language playwrights. The word Shavian has entered the language as encapsulating Shaw's ideas and his means of expressing them.
