question_text: who followed the policy of blood and iron

text: Blood and Iron (speech)

text: Blood and Iron (German: Blut und Eisen) is the name given to a speech made by Otto von Bismarck given on 30 September 1862, at the time when he was Minister President of Prussia, about the unification of the German territories. It is also a transposed phrase that Bismarck uttered near the end of the speech that has become one of his most widely known quotations.

text: In September 1862, when the Prussian House of Representatives was refusing to approve an increase in military spending desired by King Wilhelm I, the monarch appointed Bismarck Minister President and Foreign Minister. A few days later, Bismarck appeared before the House's Budget Committee and stressed the need for military preparedness to solve the German Question. He concluded his speech with the following statement:[1] "The position of Prussia in Germany will not be determined by its liberalism but by its power [...] Prussia must concentrate its strength and hold it for the favorable moment, which has already come and gone several times. Since the treaties of Vienna, our frontiers have been ill-designed for a healthy body politic. Not through speeches and majority decisions will the great questions of the day be decided—that was the great mistake of 1848 and 1849—but by iron and blood (Eisen und Blut)." This phrase, relying on a patriotic poem written by Max von Schenkendorf during the Napoleonic Wars, was popularized as the more euphonious Blut und Eisen ("Blood and Iron"), and became symbolic of Bismarckian Machtpolitik ("Power politics").

text: Although Bismarck was an outstanding diplomat, the phrase "blood and iron" has become a popular description of his foreign policy partly because he did on occasion resort to war to further the unification of Germany and the expansion of its continental power. Therefore he became known as "the iron chancellor."

text: Sixteen Candles

text: Plot[edit]

text: High school sophomore Samantha "Sam" Baker struggles to go through the day on her 16th birthday, which her entire family has forgotten about because her older sister, Ginny, is getting married the next day. She is also plagued by infatuation with a popular and attractive senior, Jake Ryan. At school, she fares no better when she finds out that a completed "sex quiz", which she tried to surreptitiously slip to her friend Randy, never reached her friend Randy and, unbeknownst to either of them, was picked up by Jake. Despite her name not being on the quiz, Sam is still a bit panicked because the quiz contains sensitive information, such as how she is a virgin and is saving herself for Jake.

tag: p

text: During gym class, Jake opens up to his friend Rock, admitting that he feels like things with his girlfriend Caroline have become stagnant. He also tells him how he thinks it's cool that he keeps catching Sam looking at him from time to time.

text: Meanwhile, an outgoing geeky freshman named Ted is in love with Sam. On the school bus ride home, he tries to hit on her, only to have her spurn him with some trash-talk before she gets off.

text: At home, Sam has a whole new set of problems when she discovers that all four of her grandparents are staying at the Baker home during the wedding. One set of grandparents has brought along a bizarre foreign exchange student, Long Duk Dong. The grandparents force Sam to take him along to her school's senior dance that night and, to Sam's amazement, it takes "The Donger" only five minutes to find an unlikely girlfriend—the tall, large-breasted jock, Marlene.

text: As the freshmen hang out at the gym, Ted's two best friends, Bryce and Cliff, watch as Ted crashes and burns after he once again hits on Sam and fails, with an upset Sam running off. Undeterred by this latest rejection, Ted accepts a bet from his friends that he can score with Sam. For proof, they need Ted to bring them her panties. While Jake and Caroline are slow dancing, he sees Ted's interaction with Sam, so Jake asks him what he knows about her. Shocked that a senior is talking to him, Ted opens up a bit and boldly states that Ted hopes to take Sam home with him after the dance.

text: Looking for some solace, Sam finds her way to the school's auto shop. Ted finds her and sees that she is still upset. She opens up to Ted, telling him how disappointed she was with her family forgetting her birthday. Sam also confesses her love for Jake. Upon hearing this, Ted tells her that Jake had been asking about her at the dance, and they agree that Sam should just go and talk to him. As she's leaving, Ted reveals the wager he made with his friends, so Sam agrees to loan him her panties.

text: After Ted, Cliff, and Bryce have an impromptu peep show in the boys bathroom to show off the panties, they head over to Jake's house for the dance's after-party. Almost immediately, the trio find themselves in an awkward situation, knocking over a huge beer can pyramid. With Jake's parents away for the weekend, his home becomes trashed by the dozens of students that crashed the party. Disgusted, he heads to his bedroom alone and tracks down Sam's phone number after finding her picture in the school yearbook. He tries to call her, only to get tongue-tied when her grandparents answer instead.

text: At night's end, Jake finds Ted trapped under a table and they begin to talk. Jake inquires further about Sam, and Ted explains the situation. Jake makes a deal with Ted: If Jake gets to return the panties to Sam, then Ted gets to drive a very drunk Caroline home in Jake's father's Rolls Royce.

text: The next morning, Jake goes to Sam's house, only to have a hungover Donger miscommunicate that Sam was at church getting married. Jake then finds Caroline and Ted making out in the back of his dad's banged-up Rolls. With this turn of events, Jake and Caroline mutually agree that it's time for them to break up and remain friends. Jake then drives to the church just in time to meet an incredulous Sam after her sister's wedding.

text: The film concludes with Sam and Jake sharing a kiss over a birthday cake with 16 candles. Jake tells her to make a wish, but Sam says that her wish has already come true.

text: Production[edit]

text: John Hughes had asked his agent for headshots of young actresses, and among those he received were those of Molly Ringwald and Ally Sheedy. Sheedy had auditioned for the role of Sam, but was dropped because of Hughes thinking Ringwald was more fitting for the role, but he called her a year later to give her a role in The Breakfast Club. Inspired by Ringwald's appearance, he put it up over his desk and wrote the film just over a weekend with her in mind for the lead role.[3][4] For the male lead in the film, it had come down to Schoeffling and Viggo Mortensen.[5] For the part of Ted, Hughes saw a number of actors for the role: "Every single kid who came in to read for the part... did the whole, stereotyped high school nerd thing. You know - thick glasses, ball point pens in the pocket, white socks. But when Michael came in he played it straight, like a real human being. I knew right at that moment that I'd found my geek."[6]

text: Sixteen Candles was filmed primarily in and around the Chicago North Shore suburban communities of Evanston, Skokie, and Highland Park, Illinois during the summer of 1983, when leads Ringwald and Hall were 15 years old.[7] Most of the exterior scenes and some of the interior scenes were filmed at Niles East High School,[8] close to downtown Skokie, the setting for Hall's driving the Rolls Royce.[9] A cafeteria scene and a gym scene, were filmed at Niles North High School. The auto shop scene was filmed at Niles East High School in the auto shop. The Baker house is located at 3022 Payne Street in Evanston. The church (Glencoe Union Church - 263 Park Avenue) and parking lot where the final scenes take place are in Glencoe.[10]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Box office[edit]

text: In its opening weekend the film grossed $4,461,520 in 1,240 theaters in the United States and Canada, ranking second. By the end of its run, Sixteen Candles grossed $23,686,027 against a budget of $6.5 million.[2]

text: Critical response[edit]

text: Sixteen Candles was well received by critics and is considered by many as one of the best films of 1984.[11][12] Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 86% of critics gave it a positive rating, based on 36 reviews with an average rating of 7/10, the site's critical consensus reads: "Significantly more mature than the teen raunch comedies that defined the era, Sixteen Candles is shot with compassion and clear respect for his characters and their hang-ups".[13] Ringwald's performance was especially praised; Variety called her "engaging and credible"[14] while Roger Ebert wrote that she "provides a perfect center for the story".[15]

text: Criticism[edit]

text: The character of Long Duk Dong was criticized for being “unfunny” and a “potentially offensive stereotype” of Asian people.[16] In 2008, Alison MacAdam of NPR wrote, "To some viewers, he represents one of the most offensive Asian stereotypes Hollywood ever gave America."[17] Asian Americans have complained that they were taunted with quotes of his stilted-English lines.[18] At the time of release Roger Ebert defended him, writing that Gedde Watanabe "elevates his role from a potentially offensive stereotype to high comedy".[15]

text: In an article published in Salon, Amy Benfer considers whether the film directly condones date rape.[19] After the party scene, Jake tells Ted that his girlfriend Caroline is "in the bedroom right now, passed out cold. I could violate her ten different ways if I wanted to." He encourages Ted to drive her home saying "she's so blitzed she won't know the difference." When Caroline and Ted wake up next to each other in the car, Caroline says she's fairly certain they had sex though neither of them remember it. Amy Benfer writes "The scene only works because people were stupid about date rape at the time. Even in a randy teen comedy, you would never see two sympathetic male characters conspiring to take advantage of a drunk chick these days."[19]

text: Author Anthony C. Bleach has argued that one possibility for Caroline's emotional and physical ruin in the film "might be that she is unappreciative of (or unreflective about) her class position," adding that, "what happens to Caroline in the narrative, whether her sloppy drunkenness, her scalping, or the potential for sexual coercion, seems to be both a projection of Samantha's desire to acquire Jake and become his girlfriend and a project of the film's desire to somehow harm the upper class."[20]

text: Awards[edit]

text: In December 1984, Ringwald and Hall both won Young Artist Awards as "Best Young Actress in a Motion Picture" and "Best Young Actor in a Motion Picture" for their roles in the film, respectively becoming the first and only juvenile performers in the history of the Young Artist Awards to win the Best Leading Actress and Best Leading Actor awards for the same film (a distinction the film still retains as of 2014).[21] In July 2008, the movie was ranked number 49 on Entertainment Weekly's list of "The 50 Best High School Movies".[22]

text: Proposed sequel or remake[edit]

text: In 2005, Ringwald was reported to be producing a sequel to the film.[23]

text: The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (D/CIA) is a statutory office (50 U.S.C. § 3036) that functions as the head of the Central Intelligence Agency, which in turn is a part of the United States Intelligence Community. Since February 2017, the D/CIA has been a cabinet-level position.

text: The Director reports to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and is assisted by the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The Director is a civilian or a general/flag officer of the armed forces[2] nominated by the President, with the concurring or nonconcurring recommendation from the DNI,[3] and must be confirmed by a majority vote of the Senate.[4]

text: History[edit]

text: Before April 21, 2005, the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) headed both the Intelligence Community and the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, DCI served as an advisor to the President of the United States on intelligence matters and was the statutory intelligence advisor to the National Security Council (NSC). On April 21, 2005, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) took on the roles as head of the Intelligence Community and principal intelligence advisor to the President and the NSC.

text: The post of DCI was established in 1946 by President Harry S. Truman;[5] it thus predates the establishment of the Central Intelligence Agency (created by the National Security Act of 1947). After the end of World War II, the Office of Strategic Services was dismantled and its functions were split between the Departments of State and War (now Defense).[6] President Truman soon recognized the inefficiency of this arrangement and created the Central Intelligence Group,[7] which could be considered a smaller precursor to the National Security Council.[8] The following year the National Security Act of 1947 created the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Council, while formally defining the duties of the Director of Central Intelligence. The duties of the DCI had been further defined over the years by tradition, congressional acts, and Executive Orders.

document_title: Property Brothers

question_text: where was the current season of property brothers filmed

text: Property Brothers

text: Development[edit]

text: Drew was offered a gig as a host of a real estate competition show that ultimately didn't materialize.[5] Cineflix, however, wanted Drew for a show tentatively called My Dream Home, with the intention of finding a female co-host.[6] When they learned he had a brother who was also in real estate,[7][5] the production company asked the brothers to make a sizzle reel.[8] Jonathan and Drew submitted a video of themselves making over their older brother's living room.[9] Six months went by before Cineflix responded favorably, and a week later they began filming a pilot for the show in Toronto.[8][10] Originally, the production company wanted Drew to work as the contractor because of his physique; however, when they realized that Jonathan was licensed, they switched the roles.[11]

text: Cineflix searched for a distributor, and six months went by with no offers. But then, off the strength of the pilot, the W Network in Canada ordered a full season,[10] while HGTV initially passed.[10] When HGTV noted the show's success in Canada, however, they chose to condense the existing episodes to 30 minutes and air them on a trial basis.[10] After the show scored number-one ratings for its timeslot, the network picked the show up for distribution in the US.[10]

text: Premise[edit]

text: Using the expertise of the Scott brothers, prospective homebuyers find a "fixer-upper" and remodel it into their dream home while staying within their budget. The featured families and individuals are often working towards a deadline, like the birth of a child or a special occasion. Originally, each episode started with Drew showing potential homebuyers a house with everything on their wish list, only to later reveal that the house was outside of their reach financially. However, beginning with season 6 (10),[N 1] Drew began to explain from the start that the home would exceed their budget, and should only serve as inspiration. In either scenario, Drew and Jonathan then highlight the advantages of purchasing an older home. Afterwards, Drew takes the buyers on a tour of homes that are significantly less ideal, but have renovation potential, and the buyers are asked to narrow their choices down to two. Jonathan then uses computer-generated imagery to illustrate his imagined vision for the homes after significant renovations. The graphics are made by an outside company using Neezo Renders software at a cost of about $10,000 per episode.[12][13] After the family makes a final decision, Drew leads them through the process of bidding on and purchasing a home. Once a purchase is made, Jonathan and his team begin renovations. After the initial demolition, the family is kept away from the site, and are brought back at the conclusion for the final reveal.

text: Production and distribution[edit]

text: The show's producers choose cities for filming based on a variety of factors including fan interest,[14] proximity to a major airport,[15] and diversity of architecture.[15] As is typical of home improvement shows with an accelerated renovation format, three experienced crews work on the house in tandem to finish within the four to seven week timeline.[2] The brothers hire local design, real estate, and construction companies in the cities where they film.[16] Additionally, building permits are typically ready prior to construction, and the brothers' projects take priority with their suppliers.[17][13] The buyers own the property and pay for the remodeling, but the show is able to provide about $20,000 to $25,000 worth of cash and furnishings.[14][13] The brothers do not charge for their services.[13] The total budget presented is for the three or four rooms featured on the show; the rest of the renovations are done off-camera on a separate budget and timeline.[13]

text: Persons interested in appearing on the show must come up with a shortlist of homes or a home they plan to buy, though Drew provides additional options, and reserves the right to reject their selection if the home is unsafe.[18] Producers screen applicants for their ability to make quick decisions and their availability to film for at least eight weekdays during the project.[19] Individual applicants must appear on the show with a "sidekick," whether it be a partner, friend, or family member.[20] While financial requirements for applicants vary from season to season,[13][19] the casting call for filming that will begin in March 2018[needs update] requires applicants to have a renovation and design budget of at least $90,000 with an additional contingency for unexpected expenses.[20]

text: The brothers have maintained that their shows are not contrived or scripted.[21] Homeowners are not provided with storylines or dialog, and unforeseen construction challenges are real.[22] Additionally, the homebuyers work with real project budgets.[2] However, the brothers concede that conversations may be re-shot and incidents may be reconstructed due to disruptions on set (e.g. a plane flying overhead), to highlight how protracted problems were resolved, or because the cameras did not capture the real-time shot.[23][24]

text: The show started out in Toronto, Ontario. [25] Season 3 (4)[N 1] of the show was filmed in Austin, Texas for seven episodes,[26] and in Canada for the rest.[14] Part of the reason for the move was the fact that American audiences couldn't relate to the higher market prices in Canada.[13] The brothers returned to their hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, to film in 2013.[17] In 2014, the show filmed several episodes in Atlanta, Georgia, and in Toronto. Between 2015 and 2016 they filmed in Westchester County, New York.[27][28] In 2017, they have been filming in Nashville, Tennessee, and in Toronto.[29][20]

text: Property Brothers debuted on the W Network on January 4, 2011, and aired on the channel until its owner, Corus Entertainment, decided to shift the channel's focus to more dramatic content.[30] Starting with 2017/2018 broadcast season, the show began to be broadcast on HGTV Canada in its country of origin.[30] It airs on HGTV in the United States, and with other distributors in over 150 other countries,[24] including Australia, Italy, France, Denmark, Spain, Norway, and South Africa, as well as countries throughout Latin America and Asia.[31] The show is also carried on streaming services such as Hulu,[32] Amazon Video, and Netflix (in some regions).[33] The program is dubbed in Portuguese for some markets,[34] as well as in Spanish, where the voices of both brothers is provided by the same voice actor.[33][35] Though Corus Entertainment commissioned and developed the program, the company did not take an ownership stake in the series or the concept, so did not see any revenue from international broadcast sales or from spin-off series in the franchise.[33]

text: The W Network worked with advertisers to generate revenue for the program. Scotiabank has been a sponsor.[36] In 2014, Mazda Canada Inc. announced a sponsorship in the form of embedded marketing (through product placement and story integration) to span all 13 episodes of season 4 (7)[N 1] filmed in Toronto.[37] The sponsorship also included broadcast and internet ads, billboards, and a contest on the W Network for viewers to win one of three C$5,000 prizes for their homes, a strategy designed to direct traffic to the Mazda website.[37]

text: Presenters[edit]

text: Both brothers are licensed real estate agents (Drew is a licensed agent with Keller Williams Elite in British Columbia).[25] Jonathan is also a licensed contractor.[38] Before going into real estate as a profession, however, the brothers tried acting, including minor roles in Breaker High, Smallville, and The X-Files.[35] Drew aspired to be an actor, while Jonathan sought a career as an illusionist,[7] but they began working in the real estate and design fields to financially support themselves as entertainers.[7] In 1996, they bought their first house as 18-year-old university students and, after renovations, sold it a year later for a $50,000 profit.[39][40] In 2004, they founded Scott Real Estate, Inc., a company that oversaw the sale and construction of residential and commercial projects, and that eventually had offices in Vancouver, Calgary, and Las Vegas.[3] While their business did well, after ten years went by with little to no acting jobs Drew decided to return to acting full-time.[41] In 2009, he was finally approached for what would become Property Brothers.[35] At the show's start, the twins had managed real estate holdings for 15 years.[38][35]

text: Reception[edit]

text: Within three weeks of its HGTV debut in the United States, the show was the top rated of the night.[42] By 2015, Property Brothers had seen a 77-percent increase in ratings on the W Network over its premiere season.[43] The fifth season attracted more than 10 million US viewers on HGTV in the 25–54 age demographic, and the series consistently ranked as a top five cable program among upscale women in the 25–54 age group.[44] By 2017, Property Brothers remained one of HGTV's highest rated shows, was HGTV's number three primetime show, and averaged 2 millions viewers per week.[45]

text: Consumer Reports put it on its list of best home improvement shows, saying, "We all wish Drew and Jonathan were our big brothers—and that they’d help us find our dream home."[46] Critics of the show have remarked that the high-budget home purchases and renovations are "out of touch" with the changing housing markets that favor rentals, though Kathleen Finch (an HGTV executive) has said that so-called "hatewatch is part of the appeal" of the show.[42]

text: Property Brothers has drawn notice from multiple awards. After being nominated in 2011, Drew and Jonathan won the 2012 Leo Award (the awards program for the British Columbia film and television industry) for "Best Host(s) in an Information or Lifestyle Series" for Property Brothers.[47] In 2012, they were nominated for a Rose d'Or award in the lifestyle show category.[13][48] The show has been nominated for a Cablefax Award and for Outstanding Structured Reality Program at the 2015 Emmy Awards.[49][50] At the 2018 Canadian Screen Awards, the program won for Best Lifestyle Program or Series.[51]

text: The program has influenced popular culture, and has been the subject of multiple jokes on Brooklyn 99,[52][53] Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,[54][55] The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,[56] and Saturday Night Live.[57][58]

text: Episodes[edit]

text: For its duration, Property Brothers has been produced by Cineflix and distributed by Corus Entertainment. HGTV (a property of Discovery, Inc.) has since joined the program in production and as an international distributor, however, has broadcast the show's episodes on a separate schedule. The chart below follows Cineflix's season schedules and Corus's air dates.[59][60] In January 2016, Cineflix renewed the show for 52 more episodes.[4]

text: On November 9, 2015, the brothers hosted an hour-long special, The Property Brothers: 100 Episodes & Counting, ahead of its 100th episode.[61] The special highlighted their favourite moments from the preceding 99 episodes, and was accompanied by the release of the Property Brothers Handbook, an mobile app that includes design tips, multimedia from the show, and "inspirational photos".[61]
