It doesn't matter though because I just want to curl up at their feet and gaze at them adoringly because I think they are so brilliant. Be sure to check out This Party Took a Turn for the Douche and Gay Boyfriend.
It think this is also the part where responsible blog people would tell you not to blare this at work but you're probably already aware that profanity will go hand in hand with anything I find incredible.

I really believe this health care fiasco is a symptom of a far more sinister disease. When "Progressives" tell you there's a problem you can count on two things: your freedoms are about to be restricted and your wallet is about to be lighter. The American people were sold a bill of goods that included broken promises, deceptions, and outright lies to the point where even many media outlets previously part of the Obama Propaganda Network are calling the Administration to account.
Washington Post- 4 Pinocchios
Anderson Cooper (CNN)- Administration pressures insurance companies to keep quiet.
Some outlets bury the story in a pathetic attempt at CYA (can you hear me NBC?)
This may be the tipping point- uninformed, apathetic Americans who get their news from Bill Maher, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert may actually wake up and begin paying attention (dream on DJ). I hope the people suddenly burdened with insurance rate hikes and cancellations will at least hold the people responsible accountable in the 2014 elections and beyond. I doubt this is the moment of great awakening where the citizenry begins studying Constitutional history, civics and political science. If the founders had any idea of who would be allowed and encouraged to vote in 21st Century America they may very well have put an expiration date on the Constitution.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a symptom of a larger, possibly terminal disease that is ruining the American Experiment: Liberalism. Liberalism and its kissing cousin Progressivism reject the idea of liberty, individualism and limited government that the US was founded on. Liberalism believes a strong central government is the answer to all problems ignoring the 20th Century record of failure of Liberal, Progressive and Socialist governments.
Whether it's the collapse of the USSR (the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics), the failure of European "social democracy", or the litany of disasters in socialized medicine in Canada, Europe and Cuba, liberalism hasn't had a stellar track record to point to. Here Social Security is going bankrupt, Medicare and Medicaid are littered with financial issues and fraud and the War on Poverty has shown that 50 years of throwing money at a problem sometimes does nothing to get people out of poverty.
Margaret Thatcher, former Prime Minister of Great Britain, has a famous quote about Socialism: "The problem with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other peoples' money." Here's a less famous quote- "I came to office with one deliberate intent: to change Britain from a dependent to a self-reliant society — from a give-it-to-me, to a do-it-yourself nation. A get-up-and-go, instead of a sit-back-and-wait-for-it Britain."
Maybe we need a Margaret Thatcher. I fear we may get the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt channeled through……??
Pop quiz- you will have to figure out my Halloween nightmare.

Where is Ledley King now?
A career which was plagued with injuries, especially during his latter years, was finally over in 2012 when Ledley King officially retired from playing.
Adored by the Spurs faithful and sympathetic to his injuries they often used to chant to the melody of 'Que Sera Que Sera': 'Oh Ledley, Ledley, he's only got one knee, he's better than John Terry, Oh Ledley Ledley'.
Check out these great deals on replica football shirts and grab yourself a bargain.
In 2014, King released his autobiography King: My Autobiography
2014 also saw Ledley King take his first steps into management when he was appointed as a part-time coach of the Tottenham Hotspur under 18s team.
Unfortunately, King realised that he taken on too much too soon after retiring from playing and stepped down from his role after only a short time.
King has stayed on at Tottenham Hotspur in an ambassadorial role where he represents the club worldwide and also in the local community.
He is also currently working towards completing his UEFA coaching badges and hopes to go back to coaching at Spurs sometime in the future.
Follow Ledley King on Twitter @ledleyking
Back to Tottenham Hotspur
Ledley King's #One2Eleven
Ledley King was a guest on Sky Sports programme The Fantasy Football Club in February 2013 where he picked the eleven best players he had ever played with in their #One2Eleven section of the show.
GK – Heurelho Gomes – this will surprise some people but he is a great goalkeeper that can make saves that other keepers can't.
RB – Stephen Carr – fit and strong and could get up and down the wing. At one point in my opinion one of the best in the league in that position until he got injured.
CB – Michael Dawson – another top guy and an under-rated player. He can play and has got good feet on him.
CB – Rio Ferdinand – played with him for England. A real footballing centre-half. I loved the way he played.
LB – Ashley Cole – I grew up with him, For me he has been the best England player in the last decade. One of the best and consistent left-backs of all time.
CM – Edgar Davids – his best days had gone when I played with him but he had a great mental toughness and an inspiration for the younger players. A great professional too.
CM – Paul Scholes – couldn't get near him as he moved the ball so quick. Always one step ahead.
CM – Steven Gerrard – an all round complete midfield player. The ultimate box-to-box player.
LM – David Ginola – I used to watch him as a kid in training and he was unbelievable. Big, strong and could deliver with both feet.
Striker – Gareth Bale – I always knew he would be a world-class left-sided player. The way he has adapted his game is remarkable.
Striker – Robbie Keane –another great footballer. Under-rated lad who scored loads of goals

What Does It Take To Start Using Zend Expressive?
Ever thought that it's hard to get started with Zend Expressive? Ever think you need to know Vagrant, Ansible, Docker, Puppet, Linux, and more? Nope, you don't! In this post, I'm going to show you that, while these tools can help, if you're just getting started with the framework (such as learning about it), you don't need them.
I want to be clear, before we go any further, that I'm not talking about doing fully-fledged development. Regardless of the language or language framework that you use, if you're building an application that renders anything more than something quite elementary, it's going to require more than a little bit of effort.
So what I'm talking about here is when you're just starting and getting a feel for Zend Expressive, right up to building a test application. I'm not talking about a fully-fledged, deployed application that requires extensive tests, one backed by a CI/CD pipeline.
With that said, let's continue!
Much has been said about Zend Framework over the years. It's been derided as over-engineered, overly complicated, and bloated. If there were one term that I'd heard associated with it more than any other, it would be "enterprisey".
While I think that may well have been a deliberate choice on Zend's part (perhaps because it aligned with their corporate goals) the framework wasn't as hard as many people made out. Nor was it as bad as some have bemoaned. I think some people revelled in denigrating it — I know one or two personally.
Sure, it wasn't the easiest of frameworks to get started with — especially version 1. , are historical reasons for that, such as it being built before PHP's Composer-inspired renaissance. If you were around back then, you might remember that Symfony 1 was built similarly. It was a fact of life living in a world where Composer was yet to exist.
That said, with each subsequent release, Zend Framework's become easier to start with — even if you've never used the framework before.
Now Zend Expressive, the third iteration of the framework, takes that ease of use to a whole new level. So today, I'm going to show you just how easy it is to get started; but first, let's ask two questions.
Won't I Need Docker?
While Docker's a fantastic tool, whether you want to rapidly build a development environment, or to go from idea through to deployment, if you're just getting started with Zend Expressive, you don't need Docker!
Yes, it makes your life easier, and it's a tooling solution that I strongly recommend, especially over custom virtual machines.
If you're just getting started with Zend Expressive, just experimenting with it or testing it out, Docker's likely going to be overkill. It comes in handy later, however.
Won't I Need Vagrant, VirtualBox, VMWare, Ansible, Puppet, and Friends?
All of these tools are fantastic! They're tools which have been developed over many years and make it far more uncomplicated than ever to provision a virtual environment; one that's:
- Idempotent.
- Configured just to your needs.
- Can mirror in production, staging, and testing, your development environment.
Also, let's not forget just how much time they can save new developers when they're getting started. Whether they're new to a company, a team, or a codebase, these tools can provide you with a ready-to-use development environment. By doing so, the developer need only focus on learning the code, not on creating an environment fit for purpose.
However, if you're just getting started and learning Zend Expressive's foundations, you don't need them either. They'll come into their own later though, once you've gotten settled and have a specific application in mind that you want to build.
However, in the beginning, they're just overkill.
So What Do I Need Then?
You might think that I've indulged in a classic bait-and-switch when I give you the answer. However, I promise you that I've not. The answer is genuine.
All you need is to have PHP installed, at least version 5.6 — but I strongly recommend version 7. After that, you need to run two commands, and you're up and running, ready to experiment and learn.
What are those commands? The first one is Composer's create-project command: Here's an example, where we'll create a new project based on the Zend Expressive Skeleton.
composer create-project -s rc zendframework/zend-expressive-skeleton <your project name>
This command launches the Zend Expressive Skeleton Installer and guides you through a series of questions to create a template directory structure, one ready to boot.
After that, you need the second command one of the many Composer scripts that come with the composer.json file, in the project which the previous command generated. It launches PHP's built-in web server. If you've not used it before, the built-in web server is:
designed to aid application development. It may also be useful for testing purposes or for application demonstrations that in controlled environments. It is not intended to be a full-featured web server. It should not be used on a public network.
The following command starts it and boots your new Zend Expressive project, listening on port 8080 on
localhost with
./public as the web server's directory root.
composer serve
After you've done that, you'll see the default page, which you can see an example of below, and you're ready to begin delving through the sample project's code, structure, and configuration.
But there are other commands!
That's right, in addition to the two commands that we've just stepped through, there are several others. They're worth going through, as they make your life developing Zend Expressive applications that much easier.
These commands, as their names imply, enable and disable development mode, and show its status. If you're not familiar with Zend Expressive's development mode, it's provided by the integrated zfcampus/zf-development-mode package.
To quote the package's README:
This package provides a script to allow you to enable and disable development mode for zend-mvc (both versions 2 and 3) and Expressive applications. The script allows you to specify configuration and modules that should only be enabled when in development, and not when in production.
An example feature that's not enabled during development mode is the configuration cache. Logically, during development, you're likely to be continuously making changes and need to see the effects of those changes as soon as they occur. If the changes were cached, it would likely cause much confusion. As a result, it's disabled during development.
Linked in with the last command is
As the name implies, it clears any existing configuration cache, which by default is stored in
cs-check and cs-fix
These two commands run PHP CodeSniffer and the PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer. If you're not familiar with them PHP_CodeSniffer:
Tokenizes PHP, JavaScript and CSS files and detects violations of a defined set of coding standards.
PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer:
PHP_CodeSniffer is able to fix many errors and warnings automatically. The diff report can be used to generate a diff that can be applied using the patch command. Alternatively, the PHP Code Beautifier and Fixer (phpcbf) can be used in place of phpcs to automatically generate and apply the diff for you.
test, test-coverage, and upload-coverage
These three commands run the application's tests without and with code coverage enabled, and upload the coverage report information.
They're a handy set of commands, and I strongly encourage you to try them out, if you've not already done so.
That's It!
And that's all you need to get up and running with Zend Expressive.
Sure, the project that the
create-project command generates is quite minimal, and doesn't make use of the multitude of available PHP extensions; such as Memcache, Redis, ElasticSearch, and so on.
However, if you want to get up and running if you want to see how an expressive project is composed, you need very little. I hope that this post goes some way to giving you a fresh perspective on Zend Expressive and the greater Zend Framework set of packages.
If you's like help getting started, with Zend Expressive, check out the official docs, this talk from Chris Tankersley, and the essentials book. There are loads more resources, but I recommend these three as excellent places to start.

Emerging technologies help professors prepare for a new age of academic engagement
For Dan Ardia and his students in introductory biology, it was time for some old-fashioned Socratic discussion.
Throughout his teaching career, the associate professor of biology at Franklin & Marshall noticed he was spending much of his time in class and during office hours repeating answers to similar questions, while opportunities for more meaningful discussion faded. "It seemed like an inefficient use of everyone's time," he says. "So I began to ask, 'What if I recorded this?'"
Ardia began preparing screencasts—narrated topical presentations students can access on their computers or mobile devices—to convey the prolific amounts of material. The videos worked so well that he could eliminate the 1,300-page, six-pound textbook used in most sections of Biology 110 at F&M.
"It's been very liberating. It's opened up opportunities to discuss case studies and data in class," Ardia says. "We now have deeper discussion because more students are engaged. I love the fact that they can access some of the answers to their questions anytime, anywhere. They're ready to be stimulated in different ways."
A 2012 survey by the Pearson Foundation backs up Ardia's thinking, as 90 percent of students who owned tablet computers said tablets are valuable for educational purposes, while two-thirds said they helped them study more efficiently.
Melissa Schlags '17, a student in Ardia's intro biology course during the spring semester, says it was helpful to have the recorded audio and visual reinforcement of core concepts. But she says Ardia's organization of the material was the key, not just the fact that it was available on video.
"I re-watched all the videos before exams," says Schlags, a self-proclaimed science fair kid. "In class, Professor Ardia would talk about how things apply to the real world, or discuss a relevant New York Times article, because we came in with knowledge we learned in the screencasts."
The use of screencasts is an example of blended learning, an emerging pedagogy that combines in-person instruction with digital learning. Ardia is among a handful of professors who have adopted screencasts as advances in technology make new approaches to teaching possible. Against the backdrop of those rapid advances, the College recently launched a task force on instructional technology to support teaching in all disciplines with sustainable models of technology. It's all happening as a new generation of students—a generation of "digital natives" familiar with the latest mobile and digital technology—enters college.
"There is unlikely to be one model for every professor and every classroom," says Alan Caniglia, F&M's vice president for planning and vice provost, who chairs the task force. "This is a multi-pronged initiative to find the best way to support faculty in their development of new teaching methods. The point is not just to innovate—it's to promote student learning."
Access to Learning
It's been three decades since the introduction of personal computers took the F&M campus by storm. In the mid-1980s, F&M became a Mac campus, and the administration encouraged first-year students to purchase personal computers. Around the same time, then-F&M President James Powell said all faculty members should have computers, and there was a sense, Caniglia remembers, "that we had gone off to the races."
Computer labs opened on campus, a network was established, and soon email became a new way to communicate. The College also invested in a language lab, which opened in the basement of Stager Hall as a resource for professors and students in the foreign languages. For Professor of Spanish Kim Armstrong, it was the beginning of a fascination with technology and its potential to help students learn.
"It was state-of-the-art for the time," Armstrong says. "The lab had interconnected cassette recorders where students could record their voices. We asked ourselves, 'should we add computers to this space?' And so they did. The computers enabled us to experiment with the Internet and software applications for the foreign languages. That's when I realized technology could enhance what we're doing with students. It gave us a fresh opportunity to innovate."
A member of the technology task force, Armstrong remains as passionate about new technology as she was in the early 1990s. She served on a technology working group last summer with Ardia and Professor of Sociology Carol Auster, surveying the technology landscape in higher education and raising questions about the future of technology at F&M. Like Ardia and Auster, Armstrong incorporates screencasts into her courses but says the core of F&M's liberal arts education hasn't changed.
"We are still mostly teaching students the way we did decades ago," Armstrong says in her office in Keiper Liberal Arts Building. "What's changing is access to learning. Blended learning gives students immediate feedback and a chance to review difficult concepts 24/7 when an instructor is not available. But face-to-face time, class discussions, interaction with peers and instructors, and office hours remain vital to learning."
Last fall, Auster used blended learning in her introductory sociology course for the first time. She narrated eight videos that students could view on Google Drive, part of F&M's Google Apps for Education program. "The beauty is that it creates more time for discussion," she says, explaining that previously she would have taken time to lecture about those concepts. "When I surveyed the students after I had posted a couple of screencasts, 53 of 54 students in the two sections said they wanted to continue the screencasts. Part of it might be that they're digital natives. They grew up with this. I think my screencasts got better with time."
Google Drive is home to much more than Auster's screencasts. On one day in mid-April, the F&M community was storing more than 358,000 documents on Google Drive—the majority of them images and written documents. It added up to 1.3 Terabytes of data—the capacity of more than 330 typical MacBook Pro laptops.
"Last semester, the students and I needed to work on a common document, and I was going to put it in Blackboard [an education software program]. One student suggested we use Google Docs," Armstrong says. "It was a brilliant solution because they could not only share and edit with me, but also with their peers."
Lightning Speed
Armstrong compares the state of technology in higher education to a scene in "Harry Potter," where Harry touches a wall that opens to reveal a different world. "Technology is helping us to transform education for a whole new generation of learners," she says. "We're making magic happen, brick-by-brick.
Helping students and professors tap into new technologies is Teb Locke, F&M's director of instructional and emerging technologies. Locke is cautious when talking about the impact of new tools in F&M classrooms.
"I don't think technology changes how students learn," he says. "But it's providing new and different means for faculty to have students engage with the content, analyze problems, and visualize things. Technology can get in the way sometimes. It works best when it's well integrated."
Locke has many different conversations with professors about approaches to teaching. In the end, there's no "one-size-fits-all approach," he says. "At a liberal arts college, you have traditions and different comfort with technology. It's a melting pot of teaching methods. Sometimes even I feel like I'm not up with the times. Talking with our student worker the other day, I thought to myself, 'Gosh, I'm kind of a dinosaur already.'"
Technology is evolving at lightning speed, Armstrong says. But she believes professors shouldn't feel pressured to use emerging technology if it doesn't fit their style of teaching. "I knew a fellow grad student who used a guitar in her teaching. I never could have pulled that off. So many professors are wonderful teachers. I can't lecture for 50 minutes, but for others, that's their strength. Other people are great at leading discussions. And the iPad works for some people, too."
Two years ago, a small group of professors, Armstrong included, were part of a pilot program in which all students received an iPad for a course. Armstrong loaded each with PowerPoint presentations, and students took notes on the device. "It made me feel a little bit more nimble as a teacher," she says.
Auster has been nimble, too, especially in her spring semester "iSoc" course, which examined the impact of technology on individuals, relationships and society. The syllabus evolved as the semester went on because so many new articles were being published about technology. "The syllabus is never done," she says. "But even though this is a course about technology, the students have their electronics off in my class. It's probably one of the few moments they're not connected during the day."
Just then, the phone rings in Auster's office. Before she can answer it, it stops.
"My phone never rings," she says. "It's only email now. That was strange."

Next time you are employing a househelp shine your eyes. According to a report from Punch Newspapers, The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a housemaid, Mary Francis, for allegedly conniving with her friends to rob her employer.
The spokesperson for the command, Ngozi Braide, said on the day of the robbery January 4, 2013 to be precise, Francis intentionally left the entrance gate open in order to give the robbers easy access to the house.
The robbers carted away with a Honda Civic car, a laptop, N200,000 and $3,000 (N480,000), gold and jewellery valued at N2m, five mobile phones.
However the housemaid denying the allegations said,
"I didn't know that the door was left open that day. Igwe had told me earlier that he planned to rob my boss but I refused. Even on the day they came to rob, I was begging him not to but he said if I exposed him, he would kill me. I was also tied up along with my madam which shows you that I knew nothing about the robbery.
I have been working with her for over two months but most of the times it was only garri that she fed me with."
However Igwe, the prime suspect insisted that the housemaid, Mary Francis was the brains behind the operation. He said he only used toy guns during the robbery and pleaded with the police to show him mercy as he was ready to receive God into his life.
He said:
"Mary (Francis) and I are both from Cross River and I knew her before coming to Lagos. One day we met at Sagamu and she told me she wanted to steal her boss's money and run away but I told her I had a brighter idea.
With the cooperation of Mary, we stormed her madam's house with toy guns around 8pm and robbed her. We stole a car in order to escape but we later dumped it somewhere. We sold the jewellery for N400,000 and my share was N200,000. We didn't give Mary anything because we haven't seen her since then.
I regret what I did and I wish I could be given a second chance because I have changed my ways and I'm ready to receive God into my life."

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion at the Sam M. Walton College of Business hosted 26 incoming freshman students from Arkansas, Texas, Florida, Missouri and Kansas during the Business Leadership Academy camp held June 4-8. The summer residential program creates an awareness of business career opportunities for Walton business majors.
The five-day camp introduced retail careers and college life to students. Campers lived in dorms, attended business classes, enjoyed the Health, Physical Education and Recreation facility and found student resources such as Walton's Business Communication Lab and the University's Student Support Services.
"The Business Leadership Academy is a great way to help incoming freshmen learn about Walton, its resources and the many opportunities available to them," said Synetra Hughes, director of student programs for Walton's Center for Retailing Excellence. "It also teaches them about the many different aspects of retail and business, opening up a myriad of degree and career options for them to explore."
During the camp, Hormel Foods assigned a case study regarding Hormel mergers to student teams and mentored the teams through the research and presentation phases. The teams researched past acquisitions for Hormel, the costs and benefits.
Campers toured Sam's Club headquarters in Bentonville and listened to a panel discussion about transitioning from college into the workforce. Students also visited a nearby Coca-Cola office, learning about the history of Coke. The field trip culminated with a tour of the Pleasant Grove Walmart. While there, Hormel employees explained product displays, assortment, placement and retail strategies to the incoming freshmen.
On the last day of program, students presented their case study regarding future mergers for Hormel and attended a Walton student orientation. Ernst & Young, the American Institute of CPAs and the Office of the Senior Associate Dean for Walton sponsored this year's camp.

Attained by Persevering, Untiring Effort—Character does not come by chance. It is not determined by one outburst of temper, one step in the wrong direction. It is the repetition of the act that causes it to become habit, and molds the character either for good or for evil. Right characters can be formed only by persevering, untiring effort, by improving every entrusted talent and capability to the glory of God. Instead of doing this, many allow themselves to drift wherever impulse or circumstances may carry them. This is not because they are lacking in good material, but because they do not realize that in their youth God wants them to do their very best.1The Youth's Instructor, July 27, 1899.
Our first duty to God and our fellow beings is in self-development. Every faculty with which the Creator has endowed us should be cultivated to the highest degree of perfection, that we may be able to do the greatest amount of good of which we are capable. In order to purify and refine our characters, we need the grace given us of Christ that will enable us to see and correct our deficiencies and improve that which is excellent in our characters.2Pacific Health Journal, April 1890.
By Cultivating God-given Powers—To a great extent everyone is the architect of his own character. Every day the structure more nearly approaches completion. The Word of God warns us to take heed how we build, to see that our building is founded upon the Eternal Rock. The time is coming when our work will stand revealed just as it is. Now is the time for all to

Watch latest video reviews of Hyundai i20 Active to know about its interiors, exteriors, performance, mileage and more.
Crossover alternatives of hatchbacks have been in the auto space for quite some time now. This is one of its kind formulas that every carmaker has been trying its hands on. Pick up a regular hatchback, add a dose of aggression with revised bumpers, body cladding, roof rails, raised ground clearance and sporty changes inside, and voila! you end up creating a brand new car. After Volkswagen and Toyota, Hyundai also tried this formula and so far it has been successful in creating frenzy among the enthusiasts. Called as i20 Active, the cosmetically enhanced crossover version of Elite i20 was launched back in 2015 and was instantly welcomed by the aficionados. The 2018 version comes with a lot of aesthetic and interior changes to cash in further. The engine options in the car remains the same.
Going by the looks, it seems that the Korean automaker has well understood this game. And since the car has been gathering overwhelming response across the country, there was no need to give extreme changes to the car. So, the carmaker did the same as the new i20 Active gets only new dual-paint colour schemes and nothing else. The car retains the same face as before with the sporty hexagonal grille with dynamic bi-function projector headlamps incorporating stylish looking LED positioning lights as well as LED daytime running lights. The robust character comes in the form of aggressive bumper and front and rear skid plates. The prominent fog lamps further enhances the appeal at the front.
Turn around and you will find the sporty traits in the form of bespoke 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels and increased ride height adding a touch of dynamism. At the rear, the dual-tone bumpers, tailgate spoiler and uniquely designed tail lamps gives the car an 'Active' look. Further, new addition in the 2018 model include rear garnish with active branding while the shark fin antenna lifts up the appeal overall appeal at the back. Dimensionally, the car remains the same measuring 3,995mm in length, 1,760mm in width, 1,555mm in height and the wheelbase of 2,570mm. The ground clearance of the car remains intact at 190mm. The new i20 Active is available in new Marina Blue with White Roof colour option besides the earlier ones namely Earth Brown with Black Roof, Typhoon Silver, Earth Brown, Polar White, Fiery Red and Polar White with Black Roof.
Talking about the interiors, the car carries the features of the newly launched Elite i20 with new 7-inch touchscreen infotainment unit and revised seat fabric pattern. There are also changes at the centre console buttons while the cabin remain all-black except the Blue inserts across the cabin if you choose the Blue and White exterior colour. The infotainment comes with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink connectivity options with the decibels powered by Arkamys sound system. There are usual Aux, Bluetooth and USB option as well as steering mounted audio controls that synchronizes with the infotainment.
In terms of comfort and convenience, the features remain intact including push engine start/stop button, automatic climate control, glovebox cooling, rear AC vents, tilt and telescopic steering, power outlet, USB charger and electrically adjustable/foldable ORVMs. The interior comes with combination colour package which include Brown, Satin red and Alps blue. The multi-information display with blue interior illumination shows a lot of vital vehicle information. There is enough headroom and legroom for three passengers at the back.
As far as safety is concerned, Hyundai has bestowed the car with driver and co-passenger airbags, ABS with EBD, speed sensing and impact sensing auto door lock, headlamp escort function and seatbelt with pre-tensioners as standard features. The top variants also get side and curtain airbags, ISOFIX child mount anchorage, rear defogger with timer, rear view camera with display on AVN, reverse parking sensors, front fog lamps and automatic headlamps.
The car continues to source its power from the same set of petrol and diesel engine options. The 1.2L Kappa Dual VTVT petrol engine which produces 83PS and 114Nm of max torque, mated to 5-speed manual gearbox. On the other hand, the diesel one is the 1.4L U2 CRDi unit that pumps out 90PS and 220Nm of max torque, paired to 6-speed manual transmission. The fuel efficiency of the car is also pretty good with the diesel engine making 21.19kms out of a litre of fuel, the petrol one returns 17.19kmpl.
On the pricing front, the new Hyundai i20 Active starts at Rs. 7.71 lakhs while the top of the range diesel model is priced at Rs. 9.91 lakh, ex-showroom. Hyundai i20 Active lock horns with the likes of Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Vitara Brezza, Honda WR-V and Tata Nexon in the segment.
The cabin of new i20 Active is welcoming. The dual-tone interior greets you the moment you step in. The driver can hop on to the desired driving position fairly easy with features like height adjustable seat and steering that comes with tilt and telescopic functionality. The interior of the car is outstanding with quality fit and finish. And this you will realize the moment you sit inside.
The steering wheel wrapped in leather offers a good grip while the seat fabrics are wide and comes with sufficient cushioning to snug you in. Further, the 3-spoke steering wheel features controls for the telephony and music as well as controls for multi-information display and gives a premium feel. The MID display in the middle along with two large dials at either end gives relevant vehicle information including temperature and fuel readouts, wheel direction turn indicator, reverse parking, average speed, digital speedometer, time and service interval. Distance-to-empty counter and fuel-efficiency information is missing. The instrument remains illuminated during the day as well.
Coming to the central console, there you will find Elite i20 sourced 7-inch touchscreen infotainment. The unit is compatible with latest techs such as Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink. The infotainment comes with host of other connectivity options including Hyundai iblue Smartphone App for Audio Remote Control, Navigation, USB, Bluetooth, Aux-In as well as doubles up for displaying feeds for the reverse parking camera. The decibels are powered by Arkamys sound system with 4-speakers and 4-tweeters, one of the best in the segment. The quality of buttons is good offering tactile feel.
Coming to the gear knob, it's chunky and gives a nice grip. The gears nicely slither into the slots leaving only a little chance of miss-shift. The car is very practical when it comes to storage space and utilities. It offers sunglass holder, space ahead of the gear lever, cup holders, front and rear door map pockets, front passenger rear seat map pockets, rear parcel tray as well as space under the front armrest. The car also offers glovebox cooling, power outlet and USB charger.
Coming to comfort, the rear seat of the vehicle is wide and offer enough cushioning and under-thigh support. So, three passengers sitting for long journeys won't be a problem. The legroom and kneeroom is also ample with a full-sized adult can be occupied without creating problem for fellow passengers. The rear AC vents and the adjustable headrests make sure you are feeling comfortable all throughout the journey.
The car comes with three different interior colour patterns including Brown, Satin Red and Alps Blue. The aluminium pedals add a touch of sportiness inside. Other comfort features that makes this car a tempting buy include fully automatic air conditioner with cluster ionizer, rear wiper and washer, clutch footrest, theatre dimming central room lamp and electrically adjustable/foldable outside rear-view mirrors and push start/stop button. Overall, Hyundai has nicely packaged this car keeping the youth in mind.
Everyone knows what we can expect while reading about a crossover. There will be side body cladding, raises suspension and skid plates, and Hyundai i20 Active is no exception to this. Starting with the changes in the latest version, the car gets additional paint jobs along with subtle changes to radiator grille, silver finishing on the fog lamps and black rubber strip on the boot-lid. Rest, all the elements remains the same. At the front, the hexagonal grille gels well with the big silver skid plate which also features a small honeycomb grille in the middle.
Talking about the muscular looks, the carmaker has given big rounded fog lamps to make them look purposeful not just fancy aesthetic item. The biggest difference you will see between the hatchback and this crossover version is the headlights. The angular headlamps are not only a treat to eyes but also features projectors as well as come with integrated cornering lamps. How's it possible a crossover not having LED DRLs? Hyundai has taken care of this aspect too.
Coming to the side profile, the body cladding continues to run across the length while the door cladding adds to the solid looks. The silver roof rails is one of the elements that differentiates this car from the standard hatchback. Further, the car gets 16-inch diamond cut alloy wheels but the gun metal finished would have boost up the crossover character. Hyundai has paid attention to the smallest of details and this can be seen in the fact that the fuel lid also gets a cut look.
Complementing the splendid design is a well-crafted rear. The 2018 model doesn't get the same tail-lamp set up as that of the European counterpart. You get the same 3-step LED tail lights which really look brilliant boasting of the German design (i20 was styled by Hyundai's European design centre). The design is further balanced in the form of pleasant tailgate spoiler and skid plate completing the rear looks. Overall, i20 Active is a sure head turner.
The car despite all that added aggressiveness to the body and extra weight, remain as frugal as standard i20 when it comes to fuel consumption. The i20 Active makes ARAI certified mileage of 21.19kmpl while the petrol one isn't that bad with 17kmpl. The real world figures might be different but it would be still easy on pockets.
People who are acquainted with the Elite i20 will instantly notice that this car has a stiffer suspension. With raised ground clearance, the i20 Active has been bestowed with stiffer springs to handle the body movement. This works absolutely fantastic as the setup is just right. While moving at high speeds, the car remains under control and there is minor body roll while taking sharp turns. The vehicle does not lose serenity while gliding over potholes and bumps, however, they can be noticed inside the cabin.
If you have earlier driven the i20, you will find this car a bit more engaging to drive. In a nutshell, the suspension system appears to be focused more on keeping the vehicle stable rather offering absolute comfort. This is an ideal setup for people who drive more in urban scenarios.
Coming to the steering wheel, it is light for city driving but leaves you wanting for that response when you gain speed. In the urban driving conditions, the lightness of the steering let you quickly and easily take u-turn without causing you to break a sweat. Even if you are on highways, the car never let you feel unsafe, however, the feedback could have been better.
The 2018 version remain intact on the mechanical front. The new i20 Active continues to house the 1.2L Kappa 4-cylindder VTVT petrol engine that makes 83PS and 114Nm of torque, paired to 5-speed manual transmission. The diesel one on the other hand, is the 1.4L U2 CRDi unit that produces 90PS and 220Nm of max torque, married to 6-speed manual transmission. Still there isn't any automatic option after 4 years of its launch.
The i20 Active besides being on a heavier side is that it runs a short final drive as compared to Elite i20. As per Hyundai, the idea behind this was to make this car feel a bit livelier and offer sporty feel to the young buyers of the country. The company also claims that it has recorded a handsome 11 percent improvement in the acceleration in the diesel version and 6 percent with the petro engine, as compared to the Elite i20.
The diesel motor is a pleasure to drive as it packs sufficient grunt to quickly add thrust. The car works smoothly on the open stretches. There is enough torque of 220Nm which is available right from 1500rpm and there is strong outpour that can be experienced when you release the clutch in the first gear. Talking about the clutch, it is slightly weightier and can cause fatigue in stop-go city traffic for long. And when you choose to get going, there will be a gradual surge of turbo and the power delivery becomes strong and linear. The powertrain revs strongly till it reaches the 4,300rpm while shifting swiftly will not be an issue.
The engine produces 90PS of power at 4,000rpm and even on the thoroughfares the car does not feel underpowered or like its struggling to gain speed. On high speeds, the cabin keep off the engine, road and wind noise.
The petrol engine on the other hand, is incredibly smooth and the rpm needle is the only noticeable indication that the motor is live and running. The powertrain does most of the job in the cities and unlike the diesel one, this one won't create any problems for sedate drivers or A to B commuters and cause fatigue. One of the reasons behind this is the short gear ratios. And even the low-end torque seems to be a tad improved than the earlier generation of i20, it is quite easy to arcade while kicking off.
The power delivery in this engine is quite satisfactory till you reach 100kmph and that too with low passenger load. The engine sounds absolutely good between the 3000rpm and 5000rpm. But on the contrary, the engine sound pierces into the cabin as early as 2500rpm which could be irritating for many. The travel range of the clutch is also longer like its diesel counterpart, however, the 5-speed transmission is suave with manageable throws.
But take this car on the highway and you will start witnessing the weak elements of the petrol engine. Putting it under any stressful conditions for instance, quick passing and you will be disappointed by the result. The engine will also struggle when climbing up on inclined road with full load of passenger. The rivals such as Swift and Jazz rather feel lively on highways. So, if you are driving the petrol powered Active, the ideal way is to get adapt to easy driving style on the open roads. The petrol engine is not as impressive as the diesel one and feels underpowered for a premium crossover of this stature. In short, the petrol engine is not for enthusiasts for sure but rather good for regular commuting.
The braking power of the car slightly lack in progression but more than enough to quickly halt the car and instil confidence when put under emergency braking situations. The addition of ABS allows the driver to push the pedal hard without the worry of skidding. Further, the car is equipped with standard features such as EBD, dual front airbags, speed and impact sensing auto door lock, seatbelt with pre-tensioners and headlamp escort function.
Other features included in the top variants include side and curtain airbags, rear defogger with timer, ISOFIX child mount anchorage, reverse parking sensors, rear view camera with display on AVN, automatic headlamps and front fog lamps.
Your review will give better insights of cars
Everything is fine accept the Spare parts and sorely going to change the car and the resell value is very poor the company should take care specially with the necessities of the customer and no one could recommend the car for buying this one.It is too hard to follow this but not efficient for long drive users
Beautiful car and very comfortable driving in Bangalore city & highway too. I have purchased in Mar 2017 new Asta O petrol & it's very good car is too much better then swift and baleno. its look is very attractive in this price there is no one car for compare with it accept Honda Jazz. I am enjoining too much
I was panning to buy Verna , but than active came in and i now iam going for it . I loved the overall practicality of the car , its use in the city , parking etc . The car is different in all aspects and gets attention . I think not much of the people will go for this
I have test driven the i20 Active petrol model yesterday and agree with most of the aspects talked about on this website. However, I wanted more information on the petrol version as my usage is very less. I agree the Diesel version has good performance but the petrol version lacks for a car that costs 8 lakh rupees. Also why
I was on a family vacation in Goa when I saw the i20 Active being photographed by media. The car looks excellent in real and I had a chance to see it from close. My family liked the design also. I didnt sit inside but the interior doesnt look good in the blue colour scheme. I hope we can also

After much browbeating on my part, Mr. Milan has finally picked a winner. Through ways that are mysterious and masculine, he read through all the entries, laughing from time to time, and finally has said that the winner is:
Laney, for: "In America, you go to war. In Victorian times, war comes to you."
But wait! There's a random winner, too. And the random winner is… Rene! Rene and Laney, send your snail mail addresses to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For those of you interested in winning other things, this quarter I'm giving away a prize pack of six debut historical romance authors, all awesome in their own right.
- Elizabeth Essex's The Pursuit of Pleasure is a wonderful book about a woman who marries a man who is going to die for freedom, and then has the bad fortune to fall in love with him. I meant to post about this book when it came out, but it came out right in the middle of sudden-death deadlines and a couple of other things that completely ate up my November and December. Trust me, this book is wonderful, and the prose is elegant. I loved it!
- Tiffany Clare's The Surrender of a Lady. Tiffany definitely pushes some boundaries with this one. It's set in a harem in Victorian times, and it's as much about emotional freedom as it is about sexual freedom.
- Vicky Dreiling's How to Marry a Duke. A long, long time ago, Vicky and I finaled in a writing contest together with two unpublished manuscripts. We started talking. I told her she was going to sell her book, even though I hadn't read it. I just felt sure it was true. And it was! Now that her book is out (it just came out yesterday), I can see why it sold. The premise is unbearably cute–think "The Bachelor" in Regency times, and the execution made me laugh.
- Ashley March's Seducing the Duchess. A gorgeous book about two people–married–who each do something that is absolutely unforgivable to the other, and then have the ill luck to fall in love. It was a deeply emotional book, filled with angst…and yet it was also funny, too, which pretty much makes me excited.
- Grace Burrowes's The Heir. Another gorgeous book about a man who falls in love with his housekeeper. The language is exquisite, the romance is hot, and I have to say–this is just between you and me–I love a scene where people know how to use their hands, and this book has lots of them.
- Jeannie Lin's Butterfly Swords. One of my favorite new authors. I started writing a post about Butterfly Swords months ago–I still have a draft saved–I couldn't figure out how to express my adoration in a few hours. I have to actually write this out at some point, even though I'm unforgivably late. It's like a martial arts movie crossed with a happy ending.
Six debut historical romance authors, wildly different in tone and setting and place, and all excellent. If you want them, you have to enter my website contest.
