Je déteste le féodalisme. Ce système social qui laissait à une petite partie de la population le droit d’exploiter la majorité. Qui empêchait l’ascension sociale, bloquait l’essor des villes, accaparait les richesses d’un territoire. Et dont le symbole le plus marquant est le château : coffre-fort recroquevillé sur lui-même et gardé par une enceinte hostile, hérissée de créneaux.
La destruction des forteresses médiévales au XVIIe est l’aveu de l’inefficacité du modèle féodal, l’incapacité de défendre ses principes. Si c’était juste un incident, un épisode de guerre – les propriétaires seraient revenus sur place et l’auraient reconstruit. Il n’en est rien. Après les guerres suédoises les châteaux dépérissent et tombent progressivement en ruine.
Les touristes qui viennent visiter le « monument » reconstruit font statistiquement partie des descendants des paysans du Moyen-Age, de ces gueux que le seigneur saignait à blanc, leur faisant supporter le poids financier de son train de vie. C’est particulièrement vrai en Pologne, où l’absence de réformes réduisant les privilèges des nobles a relégué le pays à un niveau de grande faiblesse économique. Attardement qui a mené à la fin du XVIIIe siècle à la disparition de la Pologne de la carte de l’Europe.
Et un jour au XXe siècle quelqu’un décide de construire une forme de château sur les moignons des murs anciens. A la grande joie de ces touristes, dont les ancêtres retournaient le fumier dans la basse-cour. Ils parlent de « notre » château, alimentent l’illusion d’un passé glorieux où le pays est puissant et rayonne sur ses voisins. Oubliée la leçon de l’histoire qui enseigne l’humilité face aux changements, les erreurs politiques des classes dominantes. «On » a été puissants à une époque, voilà la preuve – disent-ils en montrant les murs. Les étrangers ont détruit notre bien national, « On » a été assez forts pour le remettre sur pied. Pour défendre quoi ? Quel modèle social ?
Je déteste le féodalisme. Son image simpliste et hollywoodienne tellement facile à assimiler. Son illusion de puissance machiste du chevalier en armure. Sa notion de race des maîtres adorée par les fascistes de tous bords.
J’ai froid dans le dos en regardant ce château reconstruit complètement à neuf.
Ce n’est pas un Phénix, c’est un Zombie.

During the University of Delaware’s Elder Abuse and Exploitation Conference on May 12 at Clayton Hall, Secretary Landgraf urged people who investigate such cases to be aware that victims also could be suffering from such childhood traumas as sexual, physical or emotional abuse, mental illness, addiction or domestic abuse in the household, or emotional or physical neglect. Long-held trauma, in fact, overwhelms a person’s coping resources, she said.
The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Survey of more than 17,000 adults found that such experiences are common, with two-thirds of participants reporting at least one ACE. For seniors with four or more ACEs, the risk for such long-term health complications as alcoholism, depression, stroke, heart disease and obesity greatly increase. That’s why, Secretary Landgraf said, trauma threatens healthy aging, including raising the risk for abuse, exploitation, mental illness, and suicide. She urged professions and advocates to assume trauma exists in their clients, to listen when they speak, and to ask the non-judgmental question: “What happened to you?” as a way to encourage them to disclose.
Joining Secretary Landgraf as speakers at the conference were Karen F. Stein, UD professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration, on the lack of greater awareness of elder abuse; Philip C. Marshall on the Brooke Astor Story and its lessons for elder justice; and Elizabeth Loewy, on the invisible epidemic of elder financial abuse. “Elder abuse is coming out of the shadows,” Stein said, pointing to mentions of it on popular TV shows.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15. To report a suspected case of abuse, neglect or exploitation in Delaware, call 1-800-223-9074.

A Warhammer 40,000 Novel
Follow the exploits of Oltyx, who, having finally been granted the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty, now faces far greater threats, from within and without. He soon learns that the lessons of kingship are not quite what he had hoped.
READ IT BECAUSE
Experience the tumutluous reality of ruling a necron royal court and battling the the Imperium from the perspective of an necron lord whose mind is split into discrete partitions.
THE STORY
After centuries of exile, the necron lord Oltyx has at last been granted the thing he has always craved: the throne of the Ithakas Dynasty. Kingship, however, is not quite what he had hoped for – Oltyx's reign currently exists aboard the dying battleship Akrops, as it lumbers away from the ruins of his crownworld. Behind it is a hostile armada of unfathomable size, launched by the barbaric alien war-cult known as the Imperium of Man. And within the Akrops' sepulchral hold, an even greater threat festers – the creeping horror of the flayer curse. Faced with such overwhelming odds, Oltyx leads a desperate voyage into a darkness so profound that salvation and doom look much the same. If he and his dynasty are to make it through that long night, Oltyx will have to become a very different sort of king.

Une équipe de six vétérinaires et deux techniciens en santé animale a pris deux heures pour mettre au monde deux léopards dans des conditions difficiles.
« On a décidé de participer à un programme international de sauvegarde de félins, car on croit que nous pouvons activement participer à son rétablissement en milieu naturel », affirme Karl Fournier, chef des soins animaliers au Zoo de Granby. Le Zoo s'est joint au « Species Survival Plan » de l'Association des zoos et aquariums qui veulent reproduire le plus grand nombre possible de léopards de l'Amour en captivité pour ensuite tenter la réintroduction de certains d'entre eux dans leur habitat naturel.

Les quelque 70 léopards de l'Amour qui vivent en milieu naturel sont actuellement classés dans la catégorie « espèce en danger critique d'extinction ». Ils sont répartis dans un tout petit territoire morcelé entre les frontières de la Russie orientale et de la Chine. Ils sont menacés en raison du braconnage – sa fourrure est exceptionnelle – mais aussi à cause de la détérioration de son habitat par l'activité humaine.

Le léopard de l'Amour fait aussi l’objet d’une réelle persécution. La médecine chinoise attribuant à sa dépouille des vertus médicinales, il est chassé à outrance.
Autrefois très éloigné des habitations, il est désormais beaucoup plus faciles d’accès, ce qui renforce le braconnage. Le chevreuil, le cerf Sika et le lièvre sont également chassés par les villageois qui s’en nourrissent ou les vendent. Or, ces espèces constituent des proies privilégiées pour le léopard de l’Amour. Plus elles se font rares, plus le félin a du mal à survivre.
Ses proies sauvages se faisant de plus en plus rares, il s’aventure souvent dans les fermes pour trouver de quoi se nourrir. Afin de préserver leur bétail et leurs terres, les éleveurs ripostent souvent en tirant sur les « intrus » et n’hésitent pas à procéder à des abattages préventifs.

Le léopard de l,Amour possède également des membres plus longs que les autres panthères, probablement une adaptation pour faciliter la marche dans la neige.
