Does the British empire still exist?
In the most modern sense, yes, Britain still retains 14 separate territories outside the United Kingdom. And there is also the separate entity of the Commonwealth of Nations, which, although, is not political per say the nations in it still recognize Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of the Commonwealth, and in many cases she is still their monarch and head of state. In that extent the empire survives.However, oddly enough the nation that has something closest to a colonial empire is The United States of America, who has sovereignty over Puerto Rico (and does not afford them a vote in US Presidential elections, which is much the same relationship as England had with America before the American Revolution). America also owns, American Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands as well as countless other island chains, and lastly the territories not connected to the main 50 states: Hawaii and Alaska.Another Answer:Yes and no. The British Empire reached its peak in 1922, ruling over 1/6th of people living and owning almost 1/4 of the world's land. There is not a date when the Empire ended, so I have provided a timeline of the fall of the Empire for you so you can make your own decision, as even historians argue about when the Empire ended.There are 5 large points in the downfall of the Empire that you can look at to see when and if the Empire ended.1947-1948: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Burma, Ireland, and Palestine leave the Empire. Soon after the term "Empire" became obsolete, with the more politically correct term "commonwealth" taking its place.1957-1966: All of the UK's holdings in Africa (with the exception of Zimbabwe), the Middle East, South America and most of the territories in the Caribbean become independent. Within 9 years the Empire had been almost totally dissolved.1980/81: Belize and Zimbabwe become independent, the few remaining colonies are renamed "British Dependent Territories".1982: The British strength is put to the test again, when Argentina attempts to invade the Falkland Islands.1997: The last large British territory, Hong Kong, is ceded to China.In closing, whether or not the Empire still exists is highly debated. Fourteen British Overseas territories exist (Gibraltar, Akriotori & Dhekelia, British Indian Ocean Territory, Saint Helena & the Ascension Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, British Antarctic Territory, Falkland Islands, Pitcarin, the Turks & Caicos, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Montserrat and Anguilla), with only 667,000 square miles of land and only 260,000 citizens. Of these territories, three are claimed by other countries as well. Some relics of the British Empire live on as well (one of the highest medals and decorations awarded by the Queen is The Order of the British Empire), even though the term "empire" hasn't regularly been used by the British for over fifty years.

How did invasions contribute to the beginning of the feudal system?
The feudal system was created, or rather evolved, to meet threats of invasion and other chaos that were more or less constant from the middle of the third century in the Roman Empire and the states that occupied the lands of the Roman Empire after it divided and the West Roman Empire collapsed. There was no real hope of quick reaction to difficulties by a strong central government as there had been during the times Roman Empire. What developed to replace it was a system in which a much weaker central authority passed that authority off to a group of loyal followers, or vassals, who assembled their own groups vassals to whom they passed authority, and so on to the bottom of the society, which was the serfs. The people at the higher level than serfs could respond quickly, organize things, and keep the system going, in the face of any threat. There were problems with this system, especially when the vassals became disloyal. But the thing that destroyed it was that the world outgrew the need for it.

Does Richard Blumenthal family own Empire State Building?
A quick review of the attorney general's most recent financial statement with the Connecticut Office of State Ethics shows that [Blumenthal's] wife, Cynthia Malkin, indeed has an interest in Empire State Building Associates LLC, which was created in part by her father in 1961, when he and other investors acquired a master lease on the landmark building. So yes, Blumenthal's wife and in-laws own a substantial stake in the Empire State building, and his father-in-law is the top dog in the LLC that owns it.

Why were empires created?
An empire is created by expansion. A political empire, such as the Persian, Roman, British, etc, was created by the addition of territory ruled by the homeland. There are other types of empires. For example, there is a publishing empire, in which one publisher owns a variety of newspapers, magazines, comic books, instruction manuals, and so forth. Expansion is the keyword in creating an empire.
