public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{

    services.AddMvc();
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
    // ...
    // Configure with ASP.NET Core MVC
    app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");

                <li>@indicator.GetNowIndicator(new DateTime(2016, 5, 7, 0, 5, 0))</li>
                <li>@indicator.GetNowIndicator(new DateTime(2016, 5, 6, 0, 20, 0))</li>
