A signature always reveals a man's character – and sometimes even his name.
Yeah, that's right… We still haven't gotten any snow. But hey, on the up side, it was cold enough to snow this week! At least that's a great thing!
Anyway, enough about that. I apologize that I'm having to write on Wednesday this week. You see, Monday was a holiday, and yesterday we weren't able to because in the morning we had Zone Conference, and in the afternoon we had appointments. So, yeah. I'm writing on Wednesday.
But hey, this week has been really good. We had one day where we taught a total of 7 lessons, which was awesome! As I was reading the stats off to the District Leader on Sunday night, he said several times, '??Bien hecho!' (Good work). So yeah, good stuff is going on. If all goes well (please pray that it does), we'll have 2-3 baptismal dates by the end of the week.
Oh, we also got news yesterday in the Zone Conference that this past year, our mission beat our goal for baptisms! We had a goal for the whole year of 1000 baptisms, and we ended up with 1017! It was a great thing to have happen this year. The goal for 2007 is 1200, and we're sure that with faith and prayers we can accomplish it. So, yeah… Pray for that, too.
Anyway, it's really exciting. I also get to see Elder Barrios (my trainer) quite often, as he lives between us and our area. (Yeah, we don't live in our area. Actually, we don't even live in our zone…) So, I see him rather often, and occasionally they give us rides.
But yeah, nothing like the whole burglary thing happened this week… So, sorry that I don't have any super-neat stories. Maybe I'll have one for next week.

River Ave. Blues » Scouting The Trade Market: Drew Smyly
Scouting The Trade Market: Drew Smyly
December 20, 2012 by Mike 67 Comments
Prospect Profile: Nick Goody
Stuck in Haiti: Omar Luis Rodriguez still waiting on visa
(Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
The Yankees addressed their major pitching needs earlier this offseason by re-signing Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera to one-year contracts. Their recent focus has been on the position player side, though the Kevin Youkilis and Ichiro Suzuki signings plug two of their three biggest holes. A right-handed hitting outfielder and DH is still on the agenda for the rest of the winter.
Despite those position player needs, the Yankees also figure to be on the lookout for cheap, long-term help pretty much anywhere on the field given the plan to get under the $189M luxury tax threshold in 2014. Kuroda, Pettitte, and Phil Hughes are all scheduled to become free agents next winter at a time when young arms like Michael Pineda, Manny Banuelos, Jose Campos, and Dellin Betances have either regressed or gotten hurt. Ivan Nova's miserable 2012 effort is another pitching black mark as well. The rotation post-2012 is a concern and there won't be much money available to improve it via free agency.
The Tigers, on the other hand, have tons of pitching. Justin Verlander, Anibal Sanchez, Doug Fister, and Max Scherzer are all signed or under team control for several years, plus they have Rick Porcello and Drew Smyly in reserve. Both pitchers are reportedly available in trades and drawing interest, and there's a natural fit here because the Yankees could use some young arms. Porcello, a New Jersey native, is getting expensive through arbitration and has been generally underwhelming as a big leaguer (4.55 ERA and 4.26 FIP). He's not a great fit for New York. Smyly, on the other hand, might be. Let's break his game down.
First things first: Smyly is left-handed and that's always a plus in Yankee Stadium. Baseball America ranked him as Detroit's third best prospect before the season, and they call him a future number three or four starter in their subscriber-only scouting report.
"Smyly has an advanced understanding of how to attack hitters, which allows his average stuff to play up," wrote Baseball America, who also praised his delivery and deception. "He throws his fastball at 87-92 mph with slight tailing life, commanding it down in the zone … He uses both a curveball and a slider, with scouts split on which is more effective. He also has a splitter-like changeup and a mid-80s cutter."
PitchFX data confirms the scouting report and says Smyly's fastball lived at 92 in the show rather than topping out there. He pitched to a 3.99 ERA (3.83 FIP) with strong strikeout (8.52 K/9 and 22.6 K%) and walk (2.99 BB/9 and 7.9 BB%) rates in 99.1 big league innings this summer. His minor league numbers (9.7 K/9 and 26.5 K%, 2.8 BB/9 and 7.5 BB%) are just as impressive in 143.2 total innings. Yeah, the Tigers aren't shy about rushing their pitchers up the ladder.
Smyly did not pick up a full season's worth of service time in 2012, so he remains under team control for six more years. He also has at least two and possibly all three minor league options remaining as well.
Smyly had a stress fracture in his elbow as a college freshman at Arkansas and missed six weeks with a sore arm in 2011. He threw 121 total innings this year and his career-high is 126 a year ago. He's a big guy (listed at 6-foot-3, 190 lbs.), but he has yet to prove his durability. There's no way to reasonably expect 30 starts and 200 innings from him in 2013.
It's only 243 total innings, but Smyly has been fly ball prone as a professional. His minor league ground ball rate (45.9%) is lower than what you'd expect to see from a good pitching prospect, and in the big leagues he kept the ball on the ground just 39.9% of the time. As a result, he can be homer prone.
Smyly picked up enough service time this season that he'll surely qualify for Super Two status and be arbitration-eligible four times instead of the usual three. Young players can get expensive in a hurry as Super Twos.
I like Smyly more than Baseball America seems too, but there's no shame in being projected as a number three or four starter anyway. A lot of people seem to take that as an insult. Smyly, who turned 23 in June, has shown five pitches at the big league level and both the willingness and ability (these aren't the same things) to throw strikes. He also hasn't shown much (if any) of a platoon split thanks to the cutter. That's all you can ask for from a young starter in the American League and his debut this season should be considered a positive sign. No doubt about it.
The Tigers are a pretty stacked team with few holes to fill, but their bullpen is still lacking in a major way. They insist they're willing to open the season with prospect right-hander Bruce Rondon in the closer role, but I don't buy that for a second. Owner Mike Ilitch didn't spend all that money to have a kid with a 5.8 BB/9 (15.1 BB%) in the minors over the last two seasons pitching the late-innings. It's not just the ninth inning either, they need setup help as well.
The Yankees don't have a ton of relief depth to use in a trade, but for six years of Smyly they could totally offer up two years of David Robertson. There are enough free agent relievers still available — Matt Lindstrom, Mark Lowe, Brandon Lyon, and even Rafael Soriano stand out — that New York could find a capable replacement(s) for Robertson should they move him. Smyly would give them some much-needed young pitching depth from the left side, someone who could step right into a big league rotation if need be or spend time in Triple-A if things get crowded. It would be a very risky move, but also one that could help the Yankees both win now and win later.

Eurofer expects EU to rule in favor of final duties on hot rolled steel
European steel body Eurofer said it expects the European Union to rule in favor of final duties on hot rolled steel from Brazil, Iran, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine, having decided in April not to apply provisional duties on the five countries.
The European steel sector is slowly emerging from a crisis that saw prices plunge in 2015, but Eurofer says it still faces risks from unfairly traded steel from China and elsewhere.
"I expect to (see final) measures, but to what extent, which countries and how high, that is another question," Geert Van Poelvoorde, Eurofer president, told Reuters on the sidelines of the European Steel Day conference in Brussels on Wednesday.
A Commission spokesman said the Commission does not comment on ongoing investigations. The Commission, the EU executive, decides whether to impose provisional duties on unfairly traded or "dumped" products, while EU member states decide on final duties.
Van Poelvoorde, who is also CEO of ArcelorMittal Europe Flat Steel Products, said many member states had been in favor of provisional duties, so he was optimistic that final tariffs would be imposed.
The EU currently has 39 anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures in place on steel, 17 of which involve China. Its attention has only recently shifted to non-Chinese steel as the impact of its barriers on China take hold.
Steel is the second largest industry in the world after oil and gas. G20 governments pledged in September to address the serious problem of excess capacity that has punished the industry for years with low prices.
Van Poelvoorde said there had been a rapid increase in imports of unfairly traded steel from Brazil, Iran, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine following the Commission decision not to impose provisional duties.
"The Commission report showed there was dumping, showed there was injury. Evidence (was) overruled in favor of a political decision," he said.
A decision on final duties is due by October 6. EU steel imports rose 9 percent in 2016 to hit a multi-year peak, according to Eurofer. By the second half of the year, a quarter of the 156 million tonnes of steel consumed in the bloc was accounted for by imports, Eurofer data shows.
The European steel industry has a turnover of around 170 billion euros and directly employs 320,000 people, producing on average 170 million tonnes of steel per year, versus a global total of 1.6 billion tonnes.

Android Takes Off in China, But Google Has Little to Show for It
Google closed its Chinese search service three years ago, just as the mobile market exploded. Now it may be realizing the price.
Jessica Leber archive page
As China edges past the U.S. as the world's largest smartphone market, the rise of the Android mobile operating system should be a huge success story for Google, which developed and maintains Android. In China, cheaper Android devices have exploded past Apple's phones in the last three years, and now account for more than three-quarters of shipments (see "How the Chinese Smartphone Market Shapes the Battle for Global Dominance").
On the outside: Google's offices in Beijing.
But what's often overlooked is how little Google itself is benefiting from Android's growth in China. Most Android devices sold in China have been stripped of Google's advertising-supported apps and services, as well as its Google Play store for third-party apps and music, books, and video. That means the devices are missing the two main ways by which the U.S. Web giant brings in revenue from the free Android operating system. The CEO of Baidu, the desktop Web search leader in China, said this year that 80 percent of Android-branded phones come with Baidu's search service, rather than Google's, loaded on the device.
Android could, in theory, have given Google another foothold in the world's largest Internet market. "Google would have been the big winner" in the country, if not for "Google-China" issues that lead Android device makers to opt for non-Google services, wrote Kai-Fu Lee, who once ran Google's business in China, in a November blog post.
Lee is intimately familiar with the company's difficulties there. Google recruited Lee from Microsoft to head its Chinese office, only to significantly scale back its operations in 2010 when it took its search business out of the country in a stand against the Chinese government's censorship. Google also accused the Chinese government of hacking into the company's servers (see "Google's Future in China Hangs in the Balance").
Now it's clear that Google is paying a price for leaving the country just as the mobile market took off. Today, it's barely a factor for Chinese consumers who use mobile phones. Because Google no longer has servers in China, Google Play and Google Web search aren't particularly useful to people there. Google Play suffers from bad connectivity, and the Web search is routed through Hong Kong. "Google won't improve the situation unless they resolve the bigger issue of having a presence in China," says Nicole Peng, the Shanghai-based research director for the market research firm Canalys.
Google also has accused China of slowing or blocking access to Gmail. And its mobile mapping service has fallen from popularity in part because the service is poor and has been infrequently updated while Google has been waiting for the Chinese government to approve a necessary license.
That's in stark contrast to Apple, which tightly controls its devices—and hasn't battled with the Chinese government over censorship. It was able to simply remove Google Maps from its phones in China in favor of its own new map service, just as it did elsewhere around the world this year.
Chinese companies, too, are jumping in where Google can't. Baidu has its mobile search and mapping services and has released a cloud-based service to help developers build apps for Android devices. Tencent's chat and payment app, WeChat, has become popular. And companies like Xiaomi have developed customized versions of Android that phone owners can install on new phones after their purchase.
Google does not break out its revenue from China, but a large part of what money it does make in China comes from its mobile advertising business, including AdMob, a platform for serving ads in mobile apps across all kinds of operating systems.
But Google will need other ways to tap this large and growing mobile market. That probably explains why it has been trying to assert more control over how Android is used. In September, Google pressured the handset maker Acer to postpone the launch of a device with an operating system from the China e-commerce giant Alibaba. Google asserted that Alibaba borrowed heavily from Android's code without offering sufficient compatibility with apps built for Android devices. Its app store contained pirated Google apps, said Andy Rubin, Google's senior vice president for mobile and digital content. Alibaba countered that its system is based on the open-source Linux system and was not derived from Android.
So far, few competing operating systems risk denting Android's market share (though Microsoft is trying and soon Mozilla will as well). But Google is unlikely to have much success at trying to stop Chinese vendors from using Android's code however they wish, even if that includes developing their own versions of the operating system. "It's not under any form of control. Its viral nature is responsible for its success, but it's also its Achilles' heel," says Horace Dediu, a mobile industry analyst.
For now, Google may be realizing the cost of adhering to the principles that led it to stop censoring search results for China. But Peng believes that with the Chinese market beginning to open up, it's possible the company could come back in fuller force for one simple reason: China is too important for Google's business.

Gicherori factory lies 1550 metres above sea level on the expansive slopes of Mt. Kenya region which has deep rich red volcanic soils ideal for coffee production. Temperature ranges from 12-25 degrees celcius. The factory was established in and is affiliated to Kibugu FCS. High bimodal rainfall of about 1500 mm per annum is characteristic in the region and this, along with deep, well drained volcanic soils contributes to the production of some excellent coffee.
The factory is receiving assistance an organisation called Coffee Management Services (CMS). Their long term goal is to increase coffee production through farmer training, input access, Good Agricultural Practice seminars, and a sustainable farming handbook updated and distributed annually. The objective is to establish a transparent, trust based relationship with the farmer, helping to support a sustained industry growth in Kenya, whilst bringing premium quality to roasters, and premium prices to the farmers. Through the pre-financing they receive, farmers are given advances for school fees and farm inputs. The factory manager is re-trained every year by CMS, in addition to field days being held by the minister of agriculture and agrochemical companies that deliver inputs to the farmers. Demonstration plots are planted at the factory to reinforce the best practices taught throughout the year.
The coffee is handpicked and delivered to the wet mill where it is pulped. This initially separates the dense beans from the immature 'mbuni's (floaters) using water floatation which means the denser beans will sink and be sent through channels to the fermentation tank. This first stage of fermentation will last for around 24 hours, after which the beans are washed and sent to the secondary fermentation tank for another 12-24 hours. Once the fermentation process is completed, the beans enter the washing channels where floaters are separated further and the dense beans are cleaned of mucilage. The washed beans will then enter soaking tanks where they can sit under clean water for as long as another 24 hours. This soaking process allows amino acids and proteins in the cellular structure of each bean to develop which results in higher levels of acidity and complex fruit flavours in the cup - it is thought that this process of soaking contributes to the flavour profiles that Kenyan coffees are so famed for. The beans are then transferred to the initial drying tables where they are laid in a thin layer to allow around 50% of the moisture to be quickly removed. This first stage of drying can last around 6 hours before the beans are gathered and laid in thicker layers for the remaining 5-10 days of the drying period. The dry parchment coffee is then delivered to a private mill and put into 'bodegas' to rest – these are raised cells made of chicken wire which allows the coffee to breathe fully.
Coffee is traditionally sold through the country's auction system, though recent amendments to the coffee law of Kenya have brought about the introduction of direct trading whereby farmers can by-pass the auction and sell directly to speciality roasters around the world. It is this system we have chosen for our Falcon Specialty offering since we believe it brings about better returns for the smallholder.

Osaka in Fall 2022 - Where to See the Autumn Colors
Minoo Falls, Osaka
In Japan, autumn's cool and comfortable climate is a great time for travel; getting outdoors to see the gorgeous reds and golds of the changing trees is a must-do, especially in Osaka.
There are many places to enjoy the foliage, both famous and lesser-known, in Osaka. In most places in Osaka, the fall foliage can be seen in late November to early December. However, be aware that this timing can change based on the area and the yearly climate. In 2022, the foliage is predicted to be the most beautiful between November 23 and December 1.
This article introduces 10 places in Osaka with stunning Japanese autumn scenes that will take your breath away.
Head 30 minutes north of central Osaka by train and you'll arrive at Minoo Park, a designated national park abundant with nature.
From the park entrance, stroll the path running alongside the river and you can enjoy a 2.8-kilometer hike up to the famous Minoo Waterfall. There is a walking trail set up on the way to the waterfall (*).
On a sunny day, you can enjoy the sight of the bright red leaves against the backdrop of the waterfall, and maybe even the glint of a rainbow. As Osaka's preeminent spot for fall foliage viewing, Minoo Park is bustling with people.
Along the walking trail, there are many stalls selling Minoo's local specialty, maple leaf tempura. The sight of deep-fried maple leaves might startle you a bit at first, but the sweetly sesame-scented deliciousness will leave you craving more. The tempura is also a good snack to take with you on your hike.
Standard Timing for Fall Foliage
Visitors can see the fall from mid-November to early December.

Osaka Expo Memorial Park was built on the original site of the World Expo held in 1970. Now open to the public, it is a vast park spanning 260 hectares. While there are many trees that change color in the fall within the park, we also recommend visiting the Momiji Waterfall and the Japanese garden.
The pleasant Momiji Waterfall usually is overflowing with greenery. In autumn, it offers a brilliant view of vermilion and gold leaves in front of a cascade of pure white water. The fall foliage also looks quite beautiful from the nearby Sorado promenade.
The spacious Japanese garden was designed using classical Japanese landscaping techniques, so be sure take your time strolling through. Of course, it's beautiful in autumn, but its natural scenery can be enjoyed in every season.
Osaka Expo Memorial Park has many other highlights. These include the symbolic the Tower of the Sun (pictured) built by renowned artist Taro Okamoto, as well as the National Museum of Ethnology, which has gathered data on ethnic groups from around the world, and the Osaka Folk Crafts Museum, which has collected many pieces of art such as pottery and dyed fabric.
In addition, the neighboring Expo City offers up attractions like Nifrel, an entirely new museum that transcends the boundaries of aquarium, zoo and art exhibit, so that you can enjoy the full day in the area.
You can njoy the fall colors between early November to late November.

7. A Vermilion Tower and a Feast of Color at Ushitakiyama (Daiitokuji)
Ushitakiyama is located in southern Osaka along the Wakayama border. It has long been known as a famous spot to view fall foliage.
The Ushitakiyama mountains are home to a temple called Daiitokuji. The two-story pagoda in the photo is designated as an important cultural asset in Japan. In autumn, the brilliant sight of the vermilion pagoda and surrounding foliage bring joy to many visitors.
Every year in the fall foliage season, the Maple Leaf Festival is held here. There are rows of shops selling merchandise from Osaka's famous Danjiri Festival and Google Map
Access: From Kishiwada Station on the Nankai Main Line, take the Nankai bus bound for Ushitakiyama and get off at Ushitakiyama (55 min, 650 yen), then walk for three minutes
8. Katsuoji - Enjoy an Illuminated Temple and Leaves
Picture courtesy of Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau
Katsuoji in Minoo is well-known as a place to see fall foliage. The road that heads toward the main shrine becomes a tunnel of fall foliage (pictured). You can see the bright blue autumn sky peeking between the gaps in the roof of vividly colored leaves.
Every weekend and holiday from early November until the 30th, the shrine area is lit up, presenting visitors with an otherworldly appearance. The illumination lasts from sunset until 19:30. Because there is no public transportation at night, you should drive or take a taxi.
The daruma is another thing that Katsuoji is famous for. A daruma is an ornament modeled after a Buddhist monk, usually sold with two white eyes. There is a Japanese tradition of filling in one eye when you set a goal, then filling in the other once you've achieved it.
Katsuoji is actually known as a temple for blessings of victory. The legend comes from roughly a thousand years ago, when the head priest here was able to cure the illness of the Emperor at the time through prayers. Since then, the kanji for victory ("katsu") has been part of the temple's name, and generals have come to this temple to pray for success in battle.
Many daruma that have brought victory to visitors are placed here.
Early November to late November

Despite not being far from the city, Settsukyo Park is brimming with nature and is a great destination for relaxation.
There are five hiking trails set up within the park. We recommend the mountainside forest trail in autumn, which passes through a valley of maple leaf trees. You can also see a 15-meter-tall waterfall midway through the hike.
There is also a ravine course where you can walk along the bank of a clear river as you look at oddly-shaped rock formations. There are roughly 230 cherry trees planted in the park, and in the spring, the park is crowded with visitors coming to see the blossoms.
Visitors can enjoy fall colors from around late October to late November.

Mt. Inunaki is known as a site for ascetic practices. Established as a training ground for Shugendo asceticism (*3) roughly 1300 years ago, Mt. Inunaki still has an aura of mystery today.
*3: Shugendo is an ancient school of Japanese asceticism, whose adherents would train in the mountains in pursuit of enlightenment.
There are hiking trails on the mountain, and you can enjoy a pleasant hike through the woods as you look at the fall foliage. It is roughly a 40-minute walk from the bus stop at the base of the mountain to the "ascetic's waterfall" (pictured in the back). You might see a Shugendo devotee being pummeled by the waterfall.
Osaka's only onsen resort town is also located at the foot of Mt. Inunaki. While it isn't a large-scale resort town, there are inns where you can enter the hot springs even if you're not staying there. We recommend refreshing yourself in an onsen before heading home. Mt. Inunaki is far away from central Osaka, so you should give yourself plenty of time to get there.
Mid-November to late November

Q: Problems with combined view and IEnumerable model in asp.Net MVC I am trying to create a combined view of an Index Page (which has product list using IEnumerable) and with the Create Page (which has the add / save stuff)
and i am getting errors with the lambda expressions.
Here's my code:
@model IEnumerable<OIS.Models.Category>

            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.category_name)

            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.date_created)

            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.date_updated)

    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.category_name)

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.date_created)

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.date_updated)

                @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.ID }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.ID }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.ID })

    }

//For for Creating new Item
@using (Html.BeginForm()){
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()

Category

    @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

        //Im Gettig Error with this line  (model => model.category_name)
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.category_name, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            //Im Gettig Error with this line (model => model.category_name)
            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.category_name, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
            //Im Gettig Error with this line (model => model.category_name)
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.category_name, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />

}

What shall I do?
Edited:
Here's my controller
namespace OIS.Controllers{
public class CategoryController : Controller
{
    private DbOnlineIS db = new DbOnlineIS();

    // GET: Category
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(db.Categories.ToList());
    }

    // Post: Category
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult Index([Bind(Include = "ID,category_name,date_created,date_updated")] Category category)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            category.date_created = DateTime.Now;
            category.date_updated = DateTime.Now;
            db.Categories.Add(category);
            db.SaveChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

        return View(category);
    }
  // GET: Category/Create

    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        return View();
    }

    // POST: Category/Create
    // To protect from overposting attacks, please enable the specific properties you want to bind to, for
    // more details see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=317598.
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult Create([Bind(Include = "ID,category_name,date_created,date_updated")] Category category)
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            category.date_created = DateTime.Now;
            category.date_updated = DateTime.Now;
            db.Categories.Add(category);
            db.SaveChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

        return View(category);
    }

A: To make a combined view you have to do something like below.
Create a ViewModel that have 2 properties
public class CategoryViewModel {
    public IEnumerable<OIS.Models.Category> Categories { get; set; }
    public Category Category { get; set; }
}

After that you move, Create and List, from the View in 2 partial views. Let's say _CategoryCreatePartial.cshtml and _CategoryListPartial.cshtml.
Than the combined view become something like this, Index.cshtml
@model OIS.Models.CategoryViewModel

@Html.Partial("_CategoryListPartial", Model.Categories)

@Html.Partial("_CategoryCreatePartial", Model.Category)

Partial Views:
_CategoryListPartial.cshtml
@model IEnumerable<OIS.Models.Category>

            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.category_name)

            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.date_created)

            @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.date_updated)

    @foreach (var item in Model)
    {

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.category_name)

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.date_created)

                @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.date_updated)

                @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.ID }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.ID }) |
                @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.ID })

    }

_CategoryCreatePartial.cshtml
@model OIS.Models.Category

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Category")){
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

Category

        @Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            //Im Gettig Error with this line  (model => model.category_name)
            @Html.LabelFor(model => model.category_name, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

                //Im Gettig Error with this line (model => model.category_name)
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.category_name, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
                //Im Gettig Error with this line (model => model.category_name)
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.category_name, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

                <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />

}

Controller and Index action
public class CategoryController : Controller
{
    private DbOnlineIS db = new DbOnlineIS();

    public ActionResult Index() {
        var categoryViewModel = new CategoryViewModel();
        categoryViewModel.Categories = db.Categories.ToList();
        categoryViewModel.Category = new Category();
        return View(categoryViewModel); // list + create category
    }

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult Create(Category category) // call this action to create category.
    {
        if (ModelState.IsValid)
        {
            category.date_created = DateTime.Now;
            category.date_updated = DateTime.Now;
            db.Categories.Add(category);
            db.SaveChanges();
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }

        return View(category);
    }
}

A: You will need to create another ViewModel to cater to this requirement of showing a List as well as the Create screen.
public class CategoryViewModel
{
    public List<OIS.Models.Category> Categories {get;set;}
    public OIS.Models.Category Category {get;set;}
}

In your razor view set the model to this new ViewModel
@model CategoryViewModel

In your enumeration you now access the list from within this new ViewModel
@foreach (var item in Model.Categories)

For your create section access the category from within the ViewModel
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Category.category_name, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

On the same lines you will need to refactor your View page.
In your controller you must currently passing a List. You will need to change that to pass your new CategoryViewModel
List<Category> categories = "your db call";
CategoryViewModel viewModel = new CategoryViewModel();
viewModel.Categories = categories;
viewModel.Category = new Category();
return View(viewModel);

A: Your Problem is in the
. You try to access properties from the Category Model:
@Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.category_name)

But your Model is an IEnumerable and has no property category_name.

JSTOR (/ˈdʒeɪstɔːr/; short for Journal Storage) is a digital library founded in 1995. Originally containing digitized back issues of academic journals, it now also includes books and other primary sources, and current issues of journals. It provides full-text searches of almost 2,000 journals. As of 2013, more than 8,000 institutions in more than 160 countries had access to JSTOR; most access is by subscription, but some of the site's public domain and open access content is available at no cost to anyone. JSTOR's revenue was $86 million in 2015.
The availability of most journals on JSTOR is controlled by a "moving wall", which is an agreed-upon delay between the current volume of the journal and the latest volume available on JSTOR. This time period is specified by agreement between JSTOR and the publisher of the journal, which usually is three to five years. Publishers may request that the period of a "moving wall" be changed or request discontinuation of coverage. Formerly, publishers also could request that the "moving wall" be changed to a "fixed wall"—a specified date after which JSTOR would not add new volumes to its database. As of November 2010, "fixed wall" agreements were still in effect with three publishers of 29 journals made available online through sites controlled by the publishers.
Beginning September 6, 2011, JSTOR made public domain content available at no charge to the public. This "Early Journal Content" program constitutes about 6% of JSTOR's total content, and includes over 500,000 documents from more than 200 journals that were published before 1923 in the United States, and before 1870 in other countries. JSTOR stated that it had been working on making this material free for some time. The Swartz controversy and Greg Maxwell's protest torrent of the same content led JSTOR to "press ahead" with the initiative. As of 2017, JSTOR does not have plans to extend it to other public domain content, stating that "We do not believe that just because something is in the public domain, it can always be provided for free".

Q: LCD Gasket Causes Touchscreen Issues Edit: Pretty much all conjectures in my question have been proved to be incorrect. I started fresh with a new approach. New question is here.

Original question:
I'm having an issue with a touchscreen LCD assembly.
The touchscreen normally works fine, but if I mount it in a housing with a gasket the taps sometimes register in the wrong location.
The incorrect taps only seem to occur when I'm tapping the screen. They don't occur on their own.
This is the screen I'm using: NHD-4.3-480272MB-ASXV-CTP (note the thumbnail is inaccurate)
I've tried different gasket materials such as neoprene rubber, and foam but the issue occurs with all of them.

Inside view (without LCD)

I placed the gaskets so that there is an ~1mm gap between the LCD active area and the gasket on all sides. The datasheets for this part don't have a recommendation for the gasket material or geometry.
Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem, or design guidelines I might use to come up with a solution?
The housing the screen will be mounted will be injection molded, so it's difficult to modify at this point. It doesn't really have any features besides an aperture, and screw holes for the bracket.
EDIT: New discovery, it doesn't seem to be the gasket after all. I realized that when the touchscreen is not installed, I'm holding it by the bracket and thereby grounding myself. If I set the touchscreen on the table and touch it with only 1 finger, the same problems occur. So, new question why does the touchscreen only work when I'm grounded? The RH is 65% in my office, so I don't think it's static.
EDIT2: I thought the power supply had negative connected to earth, but it doesn't. So I manually connected it, and that fixed the problem. ..But I still don't know why. Why does the touchscreen not work correctly when the supply is floating?

A: Capacitive touchscreens with glass need a reference ground and same reference grounded film capacitor to work properly at the same potential.  CM noise can be an issue when present but worse when it is a differential noise.

PatientHub Connected Health Platform Linked to Improved Clinical Outcomes
News Release | Published 02.18.2020
Use of Remote Treatment Monitoring in Peritoneal Dialysis Associates with Fewer Hospital Admissions and Less Technique Failure
WALTHAM, Mass. – Feb. 18, 2020 – Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), the nation's leading provider of kidney care products and services, today announced a peer-reviewed study published in Kidney360 that found remote treatment monitoring (RTM) of home dialysis patients using the PatientHub associates with significant short- and long-term improvements in clinical outcomes. Kidney360 is a newly launched online journal from the American Society of Nephrology.
The retrospective analysis of more than 6,000 patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) provides insights from the largest national sample evaluated to date using a connected health platform. The results indicate RTM associates with fewer hospital admissions, a shorter hospital length of stay, and less technique failure, findings which may be driven by increased oversight of PD treatments and clinical presentations, and more timely interventions to prevent complications.
"We are excited to see evidence that remote monitoring has an important role in improving patient outcomes and success with home treatment," said Dr. Dinesh Chatoth, a co-author of the study and Associate Chief Medical Officer for Fresenius Kidney Care focusing on home therapies. "This technology is helping our care teams to better engage and treat patients, as well as helping patients successfully stay on their PD modality longer."
By using PatientHub, all home dialysis patients who have access to the internet can review their laboratory results, view concomitant medications, and place supply orders, as well as document their daily treatment data, vital signs, and complications. For this analysis, patients who entered more than 15 treatments in the first 30 days after registration were considered frequent users. PD patients frequently using the RTM application between 2016 and 2019 were shown to have a 26% lower incidence rate of hospital admission and a 27% lower technique failure rate after 12 months of follow-up, as compared to nonusers.
In October 2019, FMCNA announced its full rollout of TheHub connected health platform that integrated three separate components including PatientHub. The platform enables patients, care teams, and providers to better collaborate and monitor patient treatments. TheHub further enhances the company's remote monitoring capabilities for patients on home dialysis encompassing all home modalities and technologies being used.
"We are committed to advancing connected health initiatives and have been rolling out new features for our home patients so that care becomes even more coordinated and seamless," said Joe Turk, President of Home and Critical Care Therapies at FMCNA. "PatientHub, combined with CareTeamHub for our staff, now allows us to receive information directly from the home, helping caregivers better flag, track, and intervene on potential issues earlier to allow for a better patient experience."
To date, more than 16,000 patients have visited the PatientHub, submitting over 2.1 million flowsheets and more than 17,000 supply orders. FMCNA has committed to continuing this research as the technology advances and more patients are connected through RTM.

NZUS Council Welcomes Increased Cooperation With New US Administration
By Jordan SmallMay 17, 2021May 19th, 2021No Comments
The NZUS Council believes there is significant two-way trade growth potential for the US and New Zealand which will help New Zealand achieve the Government's call for export market diversification and will support New Zealand's recovery from the pandemic.
Jordan Small
Executive Director, NZUS Council
The NZUS Council Executive Director Jordan Small said recent positive discussions and cooperation on trade, the US support for IP waivers for vaccines, and the Christchurch Call show that a strong agenda is forming between the New Zealand Government and the Biden Administration.
Minister of Trade and Export Growth, Damien O'Connor and United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai held their first meeting on 30 March to discuss trade.
"The positive report on those discussions reflects that New Zealand and the United States have extensive common ground and that new trade agreements can be a force for good for workers, gender rights, the environment and small business," Mr Small said.
"It was also good to see the Minister giving New Zealand's support for the U.S. announcement seeking a waiver to IP protections on vaccines. This is a further sign of the positive state of the relationship."
Minister O'Connor and Ambassador Tai's most recent discussions came ahead of the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministers Responsible for Trade (MRT) meeting to be held on June 5, 2021, and follows an earlier call between Ambassador Tai and Minister O'Connor where they discussed the importance of the US-New Zealand trade and investment relationship.
Mr Small says Trade Minister Damien O'Connor's meetings follow comments made by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to a business audience last week that her Government will actively pursue an enhanced trade relationship with the United States during this term.
"The Prime Minister's comments underscored New Zealand's deepening partnership with the Biden administration across a range of issues including climate change and the Christchurch Call.
"The NZUS Council believes there is significant two-way trade growth potential for the US and New Zealand which will help New Zealand achieve the Government's call for export market diversification and will support New Zealand's recovery from the pandemic," Mr Small says.
The U.S. is already our 3rd largest individual market ($17.6B), characterised increasingly by high value goods and services delivering high-paying jobs. Trade data show that in many of New Zealand's highest value sectors the US is the number one or number two market after Australia.
The NZUS Council is a New Zealand organisation, established in 2001, focused on advancing New Zealand's interests in a stronger relationship with the US.

Thursday 17 November, Ariane 5 completed a flawless launch from Europe's spaceport at the Guiana Space Centre, orbiting the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th satellites for the European Galileo satellite navigation programme. Ultimately, Galileo will offer much greater precision and reliability than any other satellite navigation system in the world. The flight marked the European launcher's 75th straight success since 2003.
On its 75th straight successful launch, Ariane 5 sent aloft four new Full Operational Capability (FOC) Galileo satellites, following the two previous ones orbited by Soyuz from the Guiana Space Centre in May. Galileo is now set to give Europe an extremely precise, reliable and secure satellite navigation system.
Placed in a circular inclined orbit at an altitude of 22,900 kilometres, the four satellites—each weighing slightly over 700 kilograms—are the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th of a constellation that will ultimately comprise 26 satellites. They will deliver signals compatible and interoperable with existing satellite navigation systems, but one of Galileo's key advantages is that it offers near-metric precision, and that is before signals are further refined by additional processing. The 26 Galileo satellites will provide unrivalled precision and serve an unprecedented range of applications. The eight satellites still to be deployed after this latest launch will be orbited by two Ariane 5 flights.

The innovations implemented by the latest generation models are noteworthy: first of all the raised design, which clearly gains in elegance and portability compared to its predecessor, given the reduction in thickness and weight.Now the dimensions of the navigator are very close to those of a mobile phone and above all, it becomes a "pocket" object like the less equipped TomTom one series models.
On the functional side the two models are, like the X10 series, interfaceable with iPod with the cable specifically sold; from the touch screen of the device it will be possible to check the Apple mp3 player library. The managers of the company have declared full compatibility with all models of the Apple player equipped with Dock.
Thanks to a new function, it will then be possible send music to the car radio via integrated FM transmitter.In this sense, we asked how Tom Tom decided to face the bans on the use of FM transmitters in force in Italy. Simply, the Italian law does not prohibit the sale of a transmitter, but only the use, which at the discretion and at the expense users.
Another plus the Vocal recognition: with the new series it will be possible to enter your car and say only the city, street and house number you want to reach: A progressive approach to an increasingly less use of hands while driving.
Unfortunately, the noise of the restaurant did not allow us to fully test the option, which in any case seems to respond well to vocal stimuli.
The most relevant novelty is perhaps the possibility to correct the maps in various ways: by reversing the direction of travel on the roads under maintenance, adding roundabouts, unlocking one-way streets or making other changes. These changes can then be sent to the Tom Tom servers via the Tom Tom Home software.
This feature will make it possible to share your maps with the Tom Tom community, which will be able to connect to the servers and download the changes made by other users and confirmed by the Tom Tom checks.
A solution that winks at the new trends in social networking and that will surely have great success. This technology called Tom Tom Map Sharing is available for both Mac and PC users.
Another of the aspects on which Tom Tom seems to have pushed the accelerator commitment to safety, implementing many options that can help drivers in various situations, such as the possibility of locating nearby hospitals, directly calling the nearest rescuers via Bluetooth connection with the mobile phone, and even an entire integrated first aid guide: all reachable with the convenient "Help" button.
A note on graphics: in addition to the pleasant new icons we also find a 3D view that shows the relief contours of buildings and buildings of a certain importance: an excellent navigation aid that allows you to compare the data on the screen with the distribution of the building for better orientation.
Last noteworthy feature the collaboration of Tom Tom with Vodafone: through the information obtained from mobile phones, the navigator will be able to give users an image of the traffic on the roads to be traveled, no longer relying on common dedicated servers, but on the cells of the telephone operator.
Thanks to the detections of the cells, the traffic calculation will be assessed on the basis of the presence of equipment within the territory of the individual repeaters, providing real-time information on the viability. The agreement with Vodafone has already materialized in the Netherlands; in our country should start next year.
The two Tom Tom models are aesthetically identical and are distinguished exclusively by the loaded maps: the 520 will have the Italian maps loaded and will cost 449 Euros; the 720 will have loaded the maps of Western Europe and will cost 499 Euros. They will be on the shelves during the third quarter of the current year.
Dedicated accessories will also come on the market at the same time: here is a selection from the E-Motion price list that distributes the product in Italy: – Carry case and Strap Go at 24.95 Euros – Fast Charger at 34.95 Euros – Support with suction cup and charger car usb 24.95 Euro – Alternative Mount Kit for 24.95 Euro, all prices including VAT.
On this Macitynet page you can access the gallery of images dedicated to the event organized at the Town House in Milan and photos of the "live" models.
Here are the common technical specifications of the 520 and 720 models: – Large 4.3-inch 16: 9 LCD screen (WQVGA: 480 * 272 pixels) – 400 MHz CPU – 64MB RAM – 512MB, 1GB (for TomTom GO 520 ) or 2GB of internal flash memory (TomTom GO 720) – SD card socket – High sensitivity GPS receiver – Compatible with the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver – Integrated FM transmitter – Bluetooth technology – Lithium polymer battery (with 5 hours of operation) – Integrated microphone and speaker optimized for high quality hands-free functionality – Dimensions: 118 mm x 83 mm x 24 mm – weight: 220 grams

Mavericks outlook heading into 2022 offseason
The Mavericks have been eliminated from the postseason. Here's how they look heading into the offseason.
By Chinmay Vaidya May 27, 2022, 4:19pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Mavericks outlook heading into 2022 offseason
Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks wipes his face with a towel during the fourth quarter against the Golden State Warriors in Game Five of the 2022 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Finals at Chase Center on May 26, 2022 in San Francisco, California. The Golden State Warriors won 120-110 to advance to the NBA Finals.

The Dallas Mavericks head into the 2022 offseason after drastically exceeding expectations under first-year head coach Jason Kidd. Luka Doncic took his play to another level and elevated a group of role players successfully, but the Mavericks will have to realize they are ultimately role players and not stars in the making.
Dallas had to navigate through some big injuries this season, namely Tim Hardaway Jr. The Mavericks also pulled off a trade involving Kristaps Porzingis, sending the big man to Washington for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans. That move helped the Mavericks jump to the No. 4 seed in the West. Despite Doncic being hurt for three games to start the playoffs, the Mavericks took care of the Jazz with Jalen Brunson emerging as a potential secondary star. Dallas then stunned the Suns in Game 7 on the road before ultimately falling to the Warriors in five games in the conference finals.
2022 offseason priorities
Brunson is an unrestricted free agent and should get a massive deal. Even though he's technically in the same spot as Hardaway Jr., Brunson has shown he can command a team with Doncic out. The Mavericks also have a lot of future first-round picks they can deal, which means getting off the Bertans and Dwight Powell contracts is essential. Maybe Dallas can explore a deal for a big man like Jusuf Nurkic or Clint Capela.

Q: gettext breaks pytest tests I'm working on internationalizing a Python tool.
Following Python's docs, I initialize gettext at startup as such:
trans = gettext.translation(domain, 'locale', fallback=True)
trans.install('gettext')

And changed logging calls from:
logger.debug('message')

to:
logger.debug(gettext('message'))

The issue is as follows. Since my unit tests run against individual methods/functions, gettext hasn't been installed, and gettext() isn't available. We get an error like this:
>       logger.debug(gettext('message'))
E       NameError: name 'gettext' is not defined

How does one test code internationalized with Python's gettext module?

A: You could write a custom fixture that will mimic the l10n installation in the test suite.
Example
I have tried to recreate your issue in a module named spam.py:
# spam.py
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
LOGGER = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def eggs():
    LOGGER.info(gettext('message'))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import gettext as g
    trans = g.translation('spam', 'locale', fallback=True)
    trans.install('gettext')

    eggs()

Running the program yields as expected:
$ python spam.py
INFO:__main__:message

Now here's a test for spam.eggs:
# test_spam.py

import spam

def test_eggs(caplog):
    spam.eggs()
    assert len(caplog.records) == 1

The test fails as expected:
$ pytest test_spam.py
================================ test session starts ==============================
platform darwin -- Python 3.6.3, pytest-3.3.1, py-1.5.2, pluggy-0.6.0

==================================== FAILURES =====================================

    def eggs():
>       LOGGER.info(gettext('message'))
E       NameError: name 'gettext' is not defined

spam.py:9: NameError
============================ 1 failed in 0.07 seconds =============================

Solution
In the root dir, create a conftest.py. In there, implement a fixture that will automatically run once when a test session starts:
# conftest.py

import pytest

@pytest.fixture(scope='session', autouse=True)
def install_l10n():
    import gettext as g
    trans = g.translation('spam', 'locale', fallback=True)
    trans.install('gettext')

The test will pass now:
$ pytest test_spam.py
================================ test session starts ==============================
platform darwin -- Python 3.6.3, pytest-3.3.1, py-1.5.2, pluggy-0.6.0

test_spam.py .                                                                                [100%]

After the dizzying and terrifying news week—Supreme Court decisions that undermined the rights of voters, Muslims, and workers; a Supreme Court vacancy that could amount to a generational attack on reproductive justice and LGBTQ equality; and the senseless gun violence in Annapolis yesterday—we know that we are ready to take to the streets! Tomorrow's actions—focused on the moral crisis manufactured by the Trump administration's inhumane policies—are a chance to show the White House, the nation, and the world that we are rising up for justice and compassion and against senseless, terrifying cruelty.
We appreciate your commitment to engage in nonviolent, peaceful action, to act lawfully, and to strive to de-escalate any potential confrontations with those who may disagree with our values. Be sure to review these de-escalation tips ahead of time.


The two people in the car - Tom and Linda Cook - survived the harrowing ordeal with just a few bruises and cuts.
"It couldn't have picked a more perfect place to hit - it saved our lives I have no doubt," said Tom Cook.
In releasing video of the accident, Tukwila police expressed relief that the Cooks were not seriously injured or killed.
"We are grateful that the occupants of the vehicle survived and suffered only minor injuries and that no one else was injured," police said in a Twitter posting.
The couple said they'd been driving on Marginal Way getting ready to check out the jets at Boeing Field like they do every day, then suddenly they saw a flash.
In fact, many witnesses saw some sort of flash in the sky at the time of the bizarre accident - and a flash can be seen in one part of the video footage as well. But meteorologists say there were no lightning strikes recorded in the area. There's still no word what triggered the chain reaction.
First responders said it all started when a power pole fell down, then people ran for cover as a domino effect of 24 poles came crashing down, stretching a mile on Marginal Way.
"All of a sudden, a storm front came in, it just poured rain sideways all through the place and then there was a huge explosion, fire, smoke everywhere," said witness Kimber Dale. "And then it was one after another, after another."
"All I heard was this loud boom crashing and power lines are falling," said witness Juarez Rosborough.
The pole that toppled onto the car still had live wires, posing a challenge for rescuers.


The Guinean government has promoted the large-scale production of industrial crops such as oil palm and rubber through the Guinean Oil Palm and Rubber Company (SOGUIPAH). Smallholder-based production of these crops has also been promoted to boost rural development but the food security outcomes are unclear. This exploratory study assesses the food security outcomes of smallholder-based oil palm and rubber production at the household level using six standardized metrics of food security.

FOX IN A HOLE: Fox News 'Loses Battle' For Viewers To CNN, but Murdoch Fights Back
By Adam Lowe and Jordan James
FOX News, which recently no-platformed President Trump's spokesperson sparking a furious backlash, lost its weekly ratings battle with CNN. CNN edged it out with 5.9 million average weekly viewers compared to Fox's 5.7 million. The figures show a mixed bag of results.
On election night itself Fox came out and top with 14.1 million compared to CNN's 9.4 million. Also, its current affairs magazine program hosted by Laura Ingraham, 'The Ingraham Angle' had a record week with 4.9 million viewers. Cable networks trounced broadcast networks. ABC, the highest-scoring broadcast network only 6.3 million.
Beyond politics, viewers were also excited by the return of 'Young Sheldon' and 'NCIS: Los Angeles on CBS (each topping 6 million viewers). Both shows had been hit with delays after the Covid-19 pandemic hit production and, of course, there is always sport. The top-rated show of the week was the NFL match between New Orleans and Tampa Bay with 16.88 million viewers.
Lachlan Murdoch, co-chairman of News Corp ,who last week on the FOX Corp earnings call, spoke about the cable news giant's endurance through 18 years of different administrations.
"As you look at our audience and you look at our ratings, you have to look at – and this is true for the whole news ecosystem. You have to look it in two different ways. One is the total news audience and the appetite for news. And the second is share." said Lachlan.
"The first, the appetited for news and the news cycle, the news stories that are out, are sort of out of our control. And I would expect as we enter a more normal news cycle, which has to happen eventually, that appetite for news will shift back to appetite for great American pastimes of watching football and watching baseball and watching The Masked Singer or I Can See Your Voice. And we look forward to that shift."
"Having said that, what we can control within the news ecosystem, what we aim to control is share. And I strongly believe and we've seen this through, I think, now 18 years, off the top of my head, of different administrations and different political cycles, we've maintained our number one position through all of that. So I think that answers the first part of the question or gives you some insight on how we're thinking about the first part of your question. So the news cycle will moderate. We fully expect to be number one and maintain share through that." added Murdoch.
It will be interesting to see if Fox continues to suffer a drain away in viewership if it continues with a critical stance towards the President. Many of its viewers are keen Trump supporters and it is hard to imagine there would not be some kind of backlash. Many of its leading lights like Tucker Carlson are conservative in their politics. Time will tell if this was a blip or part of a more serious long term decline for the network.

Merideth Kaye Clark Performs Joni Mitchell's Album BLUE
Written by Staff on March 17, 2019 in tour
Merideth Kaye Clark Performs Joni Mitchell's BLUE Album, on March 27, 2019, at 7:30pm at the Studio Theatre at the Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Avenue). Clark will perform Joni Mitchell's iconic BLUE album from beginning to end while playing the guitar and dulcimer, accompanied by Mont Chris Hubbard on piano and violin. This emotionally resonant performance will give Joni Mitchell fans the opportunity to experience the album anew, while conjuring the magic and memories of their initial encounter with this timeless music about love and loss. Ethereal songstress Raine Hamilton will open the evening with her prism-clear vocals, accompanied by violin, guitar, cello, and double bass to create a resonant chamber folk sound.
"Joni Mitchell has been a huge influence throughout my career as both a singer and songwriter," says Clark about her idea to perform BLUE. "I've always felt a strong connection to her music. Her 10-song album is a deep reflection of her whirlwind romantic relationships and beautifully conveys the intricate mix of joy, passion, and heartache people often feel when they fall in and out of love. Every time I listen to BLUE, I draw new inspiration from Mitchell's poetry — I invite audience members to rediscover their own connections to her breathtaking music by listening to this entire body of work performed live."
Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Clark earned a Master's degree in Musical Theatre from San Diego State University. Clark is a multi-instrumentalist and plays anything with strings, most notably the guitar and viola.
A nine-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, Joni Mitchell is a Canadian singer-songwriter, poet, and painter. Her much-lauded music draws from many genres including folk, jazz, classical, pop, and rock. Her debut album, Song To A Seagull, was released in 1968, launching a stratospheric career that gave rise to 17 albums and numerous accolades. Among many honours over her lifetime, Mitchell was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1981. She continues to make occasional concert appearances, while focusing on her lifelong passion for painting.
Released in 1971, BLUE is Mitchell's fourth album, comprised of a stunning suite of songs about romantic disillusionment that stands as a classic in the confessional singer/songwriter genre.

The City of Santa Monica is known for its world-famous pier, its broad beaches, its beautiful hotels, the Third Street Promenade shopping mall and its homeless population. The city was home to the Academy Awards show for decades before yielding to Hollywood.
The population of Santa Monica itself is just under 100,000. It is an equal mix of college aged men and women, young professionals and a significant retired population. It is well-known for having one of the most educated and liberal populations in the Los Angeles area. With its proximity to Hollywood, dozens of movies, commercials and TV shows are filmed in Santa Monica.
Santa Monica has its own police department. Crime is relatively low in Santa Monica, although it has its share of white collar crime, as well as alcohol-related crime with its active nightlife that attracts a younger crowd. Santa Monica is known to have a small amount of gang activity (most notably the Santa Monica 13 gang, Venice Shoreline Crips, Sotel 13 and the Culver City 13 gangs), although in recent years this has decreased substantially.
Legal disputes arising in Santa Monica involving civil issues are heard in the Airport Courthouse.
With the closure of the Culver City Courthouse, the Airport Courthouse assumed handling of legal disputes arising in the Culver City area as well. Our office is well-acquainted with each of the judges in the Airport Courthouse. We regularly have cases Airport, which draws jurors from Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Mar Vista, Culver City, Venice, Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey and of course, Santa Monica.
The Airport Courthouse handles criminal cases arising out of Santa Monica, as well as those from the Beverly Hills.
We handle quite a few DUI matters (misdemeanor DUI is Vehicle Code § 23152 and felony DUI is Vehicle Code § 23153) arising out of the Santa Monica area, as well as a fair number of domestic violence matters (Penal Code §§ 243(e)(1) and 273.5) and public urination (Santa Monica Municipal Code § 5.08.110(D)) and public intoxication (Penal Code § 647(f)).
The judges in the Airport Courthouse are generally very good. They see a wide variety of cases, so their perspective is broad and they know when a small misdemeanor case does not need to be treated like the second coming of Charles Manson.
Parking at the Airport Courthouse can be tough. There are about 75 metered parking spots at the courthouse itself. These are expensive spots, generally charging $0.25 for each six minutes. There is also a larger lot to the west of the courthouse, which is somewhat expensive. One ought to budget for $15 if one parks all day along.
The Airport Courthouse does have a cafeteria on the first floor. One can order a hamburger from their grill and have lunch there, although it is quite expensive.
