All Saints, Conington, Cambridgeshire
I came into the village of Conington, quite different in character to the stone-built villages I'd visited earlier. Here, there were small modern houses, mostly built of Fletton brick. The church is outside the village, and is visible from a long way off, the view from the north-east being one of the more familiar views of a Cambridgeshire church. The church is set beside the Hall, and it is difficult of access - there is no road up to it, as the sign on the private drive tells you in no uncertain terms, but there is a footpath on the verge into the churchyard.
Here, with some of the biggest tower rabbit ears I have ever seen, is the spectacular All Saints, a Churches Conservation Trust church. A great Perpendicular church, built more or less in one go at the end of the 15th Century. Everything is on a grand scale, including the complete set of tall-backed benches.
The walls are lined with memorials to the Cotton family, and here's the funny thing. Cambridgeshire has two Coningtons, one each in pre-1974 Cambs and Hunts, and BOTH were home to the Cotton family and are full of Cotton memorials. Isn't that strange? I haven't found out how it came about. Perhaps they named one after the other, though that doesn't seem likely. I like to think that the late medieval equivalent of a SatNav kept delivering them to the wrong Conington, and they were so fed up, and so wealthy, that they decided to buy the Hall in the other one as well, so as not to inconvenience themselves in future.
Whatever, the Cottons here were slightly mad, for as well as the good range of Cotton memorials gathered in the south chancel chapel there are a range of more rugged, similar memorials around the nave to earlier ancestors, a kind of back-dated tribute if you like, including one to a King of Scotland.
Hi guys! in future i will upload more not-car-pictures because I've just gettin rid of those stock-lamborghinis. So here Im gonna start to upload photos from towns and landscapes. Hope you like it! Stay tuned! ;-)
To develop the UK-India relationship on few strategic themes such as ‘Future Cities’, Science and Innovation Network India organised a ‘UK-India future cities workshop’. The aim of the event was to bring together UK stakeholders in future cities research and innovation to create a network with the Indian side which we would use a basis for our new strategic relationship with India on cities. The workshop took place on 24-25 February 2014 at Taj Palace Hotel, New Delhi. Follow us on twitter @UKinIndia
As part of the Heritage Open Days I was lucky enough to get a place on a guided tour of Newman Brothers' Coffin Fittings Works in Hockley, Birmingham this afternoon. What an experience this was!
Although coffins were never made there, every type of coffin fittings was manufactured on site - handles, breastplates, wreath holders, rings and roses, screws and nails in cast brass and stamped metal. Shrouds, coffin linings, side sheets and frillings were also made here. These fittings went out across the world and graced the coffins of royalty.
This grade 11* listed semi-derelict factory has been acquired and will be managed by the Birmingham Conservation Trust and I was asked to go along and look at the shroud department with a view to becoming involved in future art making when the facory re-opens after renovation.For more information about this exciting venture please see www.birminghamconservationtrust.org/catergory/blog/
Welcome address by Dr. B. Anirudhan, Principal, Nehru Arts and Science, welcomes the chief guest, CEO & Secretary-NGI, Legal Advisor- NGI and all Principals, Dean, Directors and Head of the department from Nehru Group of Institutions.
The Presidential address by Dr. P. Krishna Kumar, CEO & Secretary, Nehru Group of Institutions. He shares about success among the students by ways of the chief guest visiting our campus and students.
Chief Guest address by Honorable justice Mr M. Karpaga Vinayagam delivered a wonderful speech and did expose the secrets of success. He started the talk with PCH... where P, C and H stands for polite ,care and humble respectively, the three values a human being should ever possess. The talk was exciting and thought provoking. He instructed everyone to follow the Nehru vian values where NEHRU stands for Noble Ethical Humble Responsible and Upright. As the talk went on the secrets of success were slowly revealed. The pave way to success is discipline. A disciplined student can have the fruit of success if and only if he follows the 3H’s where the H’s stand for honest, hard work and humanity. The success stories of his career where also a topic of discussion. During his career as a chief justice of Jharkhand high court he had to face many serious real-life incidents. The most prominent of all the incidents were the case in which he banned black tinted glasses in all vehicles because of an abduction of a young girl who was molested by 4 youngsters and was not able to seek help from the outsiders because the glass was totally tinted black. The girl's letter to the honorable justice made him to come up with a decision to ban the black tinted glasses on all vehicles of Jharkhand. The timely interruption and honest judgment makes him a truly unique and courageous man. As per the honorable justice the secrets of success lies in success itself. S stands for serenity u for upright c for commitment and confidence e for ethical s for self dependent and systematic. The student who possesses all these qualities can definitely enjoy the fruit of success. The road to success is not a bed of roses. There won't be any easy way to reach it either. But constant hard work and unshakable determination can definitely lead us towards success. The talk of honorable justice Mr. M. Karpaga Vinayagam helped the students to think differently and choose a better way to reach his or her goal. It was inspiring and truly motivating.
Felicitation Address by Adv. Unnikrishnan, Legal Advisor, NGI – Kerala was given the speech about the chief guest and requested him to visit our kerala campus in future for the benefits of students.
Vote of thanks by Dr. P.R. Balaji, Dean – Academic affairs, Nehru College of Aeronautics and Applied Sciences, thanked the chief guest for wonderful speech and thanked all the dignitaries on the Dias and of the Dias. Finally he thanked the students and organizer of this program.

St Peter's at Higham on the Hill is set back from the rest of the village and easily missed if one is simply passing through. It stands in a pleasant green churchyard situated away from the street like an oasis of calm. The most interesting feature of the building is immediately apparent, its Norman west tower. It is a fine piece of Romanesque architecture from the mid 12th century decorated with characteristic blind arcading and corbel heads at the top. Remarkably there is a large arch on the west face now blocked in, but presumably indicating that the tower was once central and the original nave continued to the west.
The rest of the church has been rebuilt removing any other ancient features, thus the remainder of the exterior is fairly plain. The nave was replaced in 1790 in Georgian style, however this too was altered dramatically when Ewan Christian restored the church and added the south aisle in 1854, effectively 're-medievalising' the church by changing the plain Georgian windows to more fashionable or 'correct' Gothic ones. Finally the 18th century apse was replaced by the present chancel in 1870.
Inside everything is more or less from the 19th century, although the nave remains a distinct space from the aisle by its more unusual proportions, being wide and low, a legacy of the 18th century rebuilding. There are a few attractive stained glass windows of varying dates, the later ones being the more pleasing examples.
Higham church was normally kept locked outside of service times, though we met the churchwarden here who suggested they may have the church open to visitors more often in future which seems a postive move (especially in a county where locking is the norm). This was our second trip after Colin and I arrived too early to find it open on a previous Heritage weekend excursion in these parts, so it was nice to see inside at last. My first glimpse of the church was much earlier in childhood, when the Norman tower had really intrigued me. It remains the outstanding feature of this pleasant church.

PizzaBuzz is, in a city so full of new restaurant openings, a very good idea indeed. The concept can be summed up (crudely) as âDIY Pizzaâ or "we have the toppings, you do the rest!" or "Subway, but with pizzas!". This doesnât really do it justice however and there is, obviously, much more to it than that - which Iâll now try to elaborate upon:
Essentially the idea is semi-self service pizza/food assembly. You take your place at the start of their "DIY pizza assembly lineâ and prepare yourself a pizza entirely of your own devising (though you donât have to do anything really asides from tell them what you want your pizza to be made of - it arrives pre sliced too, woo!).
You choose from 5 types of bases (gluten free options are available). These range from a âregularâ Margherita (cheese, tomato etc) to the Bianca (white sauce, mozzarella, parmesan) - plus a pretty fkn extensive range of toppings, divided into vegetables, proteins (i.e meats, fish) and cheese. Said toppings include such gastronomic curiosities such as bacon jam and wild rock shrimp. The recommended number of toppings for a pizza is about 4-5, though apparently one guy came in (drunk) on a Friday night once and ordered a £20+ pizza that contained EVERY SINGLE topping they offered. It ended up looking like a pyramid (hahahahaha!)
And, if you donât fancy coming up with your own pizza, their âsignature collectionâ of pre-designed pizzas come in around £10, and have names like Middle Earth and Etna. Once youâve picked your combo of ingredients, it takes them about 1-3 minutes to cook the whole thing in their wood fired ovens - so you might even be able to describe it as fast food. Takeaway is also an option. In the Southern Italian style, you can also get a burrata (and choose what ingredients to have it with, which is the recurring theme...)
As for the ambiance - PizzaBuzz lives inside the brand spanking new Alphabeta development on Worship street. On the inside it has a minimal vibe - almost the feel of an industrial space about it. Except theyâve made it more friendly with offcentre animal illustrations drawn onto the walls (pictured) plus their colourful logo and a recurring love of hexagonal things. Plus staff singing along to the music (not sure if this is an actual feature or if I just came in at the right time ^_^)
I must also tell you about the dough - which took a yearâs development and is quite something (theyâve got a video called âJane Doughâ in which the dough explains this all to you in a Yorkshire accent, lol). Anyway, it comes from a small mill in Oxfordshire and is, unusually, 50% spelt. I am told that this results in better texture, digestibility and mouthfeel than regular pizza. This is a big claim to make, and Iâm not sure I agree - the pizza I had, however, WAS very good and thatâs all I can say about that.
All in all, Pizzabuzz is taking a very good idea from another restaurant (*ahem*) and applying it to pizza very, very well. I wasnât surprised to hear that they have another site opening soon and can see them doing pretty well in future. Inherently, itâs fun, a bit silly, and provides you with a lot more choice than most of the (pizza based) competition. Definitely a place Iâd recommend to everybody (because who the hell doesnât like pizza, really?!)

Metamorphoses by Merlino Mayo at LEA - Full Sim Project - 1st turn - 2011-2012 Show Open till 15 March 2012.
First of all I want to thank LEA (Linden Endowment for the Arts) and The LEA committee (Bryn Oh, Dancoyote Antonelli, Dekka Raymaker, JayJay Zifanwe, L1 Loire, Sasun Steinbeck, Solo Mornington, Werner Kurosawa, PatriciaAnne Daviau -advisor-) who trusted me and other artists (Artistide Despres, Charlotte Bartlett, comet Morigi, Freewee Ling, Glyph Graves, Harter Fall, Merlino Mayo, Mikati Slade, Misprint Thursday, Oberon Onmura, RAG Randt, Secret Rage, Selavy Oh, Sowa Mai, Ux Hax, Zachh Cale) for the first round LEA Land Grants to give me the opportunity to use a big space as a full sim to express my art.
Taking inspiration from the 1st book and a few of other episodes of the "Metamorphoses", word that from greek means "change of shape", written in latin by Publius Ovidius, this new project aims to build a path of multi levels within an allegorical vision related to the current age of crisis and transformation of human beings and our society.
The way to see the whole work would formally very different but conceptually similar to the fresco dedicated to the "Fall of the Giants" by Giulio Romano in the Palazzo Te in Mantua (Mantova), where the representation becomes a metaphor of the times lived and precarious power and human ambitions; So going on other examples are possible like the trasformations of Aracne, Daphne, Icarus, Heliades sisters, Medusa, ect. The outer and inner change of form and substance of living beings and their natural relationships into something different, new and unexpected, from the creative process naturally with technology through the lens of the symbolism of Myth and the squared glass of Science.
It is very intersting to see the origin of name Palazzo Te: "The famous villa, designed for parties, receptions and "idleness" of the Duke of Mantua, was built on an island in direct contiguity with the city center, known since the Middle Ages Tejeto, or Te. The hypothesis most likely derive from the term 'tilietum' (place of linden trees) or from the Celtic 'tezza' linked with Latin 'atteggia' in english 'attitude', both meaning 'hut'." *from
Obviously the project is not complete about the whole huge Ovid's work, and in start I've done just some main episodes, but my intention is to work on it in future, it will take time for sure. Stay tuned.

When does talent become 'too much'?
This shot was taken during one of my trips to Edinburgh Fringe this year, and was shot again the following time I went (more pics to come in future).
This performer was probably my favourite to photograph during my trips to the Fringe this year.
I didn't take a picture of yesterday's sketch, but I need to upload this one to avoid messing up again in future.
So, I thought I'd like to do more of the sketch+photos, and here is my attempt today. A bit better than the genius one, but that is because it was done with my Wacon Tablet + stylus, rather than Ipad+fingers. In 10 min, I couldn't put colours in it, but I carried on and posted the final picture to....
During my shoot with Meghan, Randy walked by and wanted his photo taken, i just watched a video on strobist.com on street photography and thought that this would be a cool thing to try in future.
鹿港民俗文物館
Lugang Folk Art Museum
-----------------
The 3rd and final entry I made for this year's competition.
Located in the heart of the town of Lugang (鹿港) in the northern part of the Changhua (彰化) county, the locally famous museum of folk art (民俗文物館) was once the mansion of the richest Gu (辜) family in Taiwan.
Originally built during the Japanese colonial era, the mansion’s architecture style is heavily influenced by baroque with a Japanese twist like many other landmarks in the south.
The scale was decided by the 2 columns of bricks in the central portion, depicted by 1x2 bricks with masonry texture. There were a few tricky bits: the pair of octagonal-shaped towers which resulted in a sqrt(2) out of system issue, the domes, the color composition to avoid an overwhelming amount of grey and dark colors which would make the building feel flat etc...
This is also my first creation that kept track of the exact piece count in the studio before starting physically for budget control. It was very tiring but I have learned a lot about my working speed and budget control which surely would be a good asset in future projects.

Moosach station on the Freising route of the Munich S-Bahn network. This station is also a terminus for a Munich tram route, although when these photos were taken, it was terminated further away from the station because of development work for a Munich underground (U-Bahn) extension that will also serve the station in future. The station is also shared with the main line to Nuremberg (Nürnberg).
The third of four tournament basketball games I shot on December 12 at PV (Pleasant Valley) High School in Chico featured the Oroville Tigers against the host Vikings team. It was a low scoring contest with Oroville emerging victorious by one point 45-44.
After shooting the first half of the game with my D700 + 50 mm. f/1.8 I switched to my 85 mm. f/1.8 and broke away from my baseline comfort zone near the net to spend the second half working the corner area. In the past I haven’t fared too well shooting from the area of the corner and so was surprised when I got better results than I thought I would. I will have to try that again in future matches!
This is one of a series of six photos shot with the D700/85 mm. combo. Exposure was 1/800 and f/2.8 at ISO 3200.
Comments are welcome.

Product Features
Use in adult bed between pillows for co-sleeping
Head and foot barriers minimize risk of entrapment
Folds for travel and storage
Machine-washable sheet and cover
from birth
Product Description
The First Years deceptively simple Close & Secure Sleeper allows you to feed, soothe, monitor, and bond with baby in the comfort of your own bed. Meant to be used from birth until baby rolls over or pushes up on their own, the sleeper is anchored to your bed by a large flap that tucks under your mattress. The patented Airflow design of the hollow frame and breathable mesh fabric keep air circulating and baby cool.
A durable, cloth-covered U-shaped "wall" surrounds baby’s head and torso to limit their movement and help prevent parents from rolling onto them. The soft head barrier reduces the risk of entrapment, while the foot wedge--which can be used as a sleep positioner in future months--ensures baby stays snugly inside the sleep area. The supportive bottom is a cozy resting spot with the included soft cover, vinyl covered mattress, and removable, machine washable mattress sheet.
Reassurance and safety weren’t the only things The First Years folks thought of when creating this sleeper. Other benefits include its portability, a nightlight, and transitional use. For travel convenience, the Close & Secure folds up easily, is lightweight, and sports a carrying handle. Once baby has outgrown it, this feature means that it can also be compactly stored until needed again. A built-in nightlight allows you to quietly check on your bundle of joy during the night and provides enough illumination for feedings without waking your partner. When you are ready to transition baby to the crib, this sleeper can go with them--simply place it in the crib until baby is used to their new setting.
Foundation stone 7 Feb 1914 by Bishop Arthur Nutter, architect Stanley Pointer of Woods, Bagot & Jory, nave opened 14 Oct 1914, vestry added 1954 in memory of WWII servicemen. After a fire Dec 1960, the rebuilding incorporated original plans for sanctuary, dedicated 4 Mar 1962. First church foundation stone 19 Aug 1899 by Dean Marryat, architect F W Dancker, sold 1924 to Education Dept, this building is now part of Rose Park Primary School.
“the new Church of St. Theodore, Rose Park. . . The site is on Prescott terrace, not far from the Duncan Homes. Sir Edwin Smith gave £100 on condition that the new church should be in its present position. The South Australian Company made a generous abatement of the purchase price of the land.” [Register 17 Jan 1914]
“Fortunately, the building committee have been able to secure a site for the new church more in the centre of the district than the old mission church, which will he used, in future as a parish hall. Only the nave at the new church is to be erected at present.” [Daily Herald 31 Jan 1914]
“the new church is located about a quarter of a mile away from the old one, and more in the centre of an ever-growing district. . . Plenty of land has been secured by the vestry to permit of an extension of the edifice as required, and also of a parish hall. The designs of the new church show that a fine structure, with two towers will ultimately grace the corner of the streets.” [Register 9 Feb 1914]
“The architecture is Italian in style, and is said to be a new departure for South Australia. So far only the nave has been completed, and it is intended some day to add at the eastern end a chancel and two towers. . . The full effect of the design will not be apparent until this is done; but even as it stands the building, constructed of freestone with brick facings, is a distinct enhancement to the neighbourhood.” [Advertiser 15 Oct 1914]
“St. Theodore's, Rose Park, has recently purchased a new organ at a cost of £110. This instrument was dedicated by Archdeacon Hornabrook on Thursday. The question of installing a pipe organ had been indefinitely postponed.” [Register 3 Aug 1918]
“the annual fete of St. Theodore's Church, Rose Park. The proceeds are in aid of the reduction of the church building debt.” [Register 12 Nov 1927]
“St. Theodore's Anglican Church, Rose Park. . . The earliest services began on October 24, 1897, in the State School. Rev. L. P. Crawford (now Bishop of Stafford) conducted them at first. Rev. M. Williams took charge on August 1, 1898, and re-started the school services. On August 19, 1899, Very Rev. Dean Marryat laid the foundation stone of the old church on Gurney road. . . the present church, a Basilican structure, in the Italian style of architecture, and copied from a church in Florence. . . the foundation stone of the rectory August 26. 1922. . . the parish hall, was opened on April 28, 1925. . . The choir stalls are a memorial to the men who served at the war, whose names are inscribed on the woodwork. . . The bishop's chair in the sanctuary was a thank offering from Mrs. Skinner for the safe return of her son Cyril from the war.” [News 26 Mar 1929]
“The new organ at St. Theodore's, Rose Park, a one manual and pedal instrument, has seven speaking stops that blend well, and a detached console. Built by Mr. W. Leopold Roberts, of Knoxville, the tone is pleasingly mellow. A case of unusual design includes moulds and panel work of high artistry.” [Advertiser 29 Jan 1938]
“The congregation of St. Theodore's Church. Rose Park, have launched an appeal for funds for their war memorial, the completion of the parish church by the addition of a sanctuary, chancel, vestries, and towers. It is hoped to begin work on the new choir vestry this year.” [The Mail 7 Mar 1953]
“The Bishop of Adelaide (Rt. Rev. B. P. Robin) yesterday blessed the new war memorial choir vestry at St. Theodore s Anglican Church, Rose Park. The vestry is in memory of members of the church who died in World War II.” [Advertiser 14 Jun 1954]
It appears the marble facade panels at 447 Collins Street are being faced with steel mesh panels, in order to prevent debris from falling in future. On the morning of Monday, 30 January 2012 a chunk of the facade fell to earth, with engineers having to inspect the entire building:

Another digital experiment.
Didn't turn out quite the way I wanted, but that's the nature of experiments, isn't it?
You never know how things will turn out!
I started out with the intention of having scales on the snake, or some sort of pattern, possibly bands... but nothing looked right, so for now this project is a work in progress, on hold.
I will add something more to it in future. We shall see, we shall see.

This is what you don't want your back-lit portrait to look like: as if a magical being has come to clean your closet.
In future versions of this, I'd use a less distracting background (for the moment, flash placement required the closet door to be open) and turn down the power on the back-lighting flash. On the plus side, the illumination of Steve's face is even. (And hey, that's what counts, because he's a good looking guy, right?)

Terrible lighting inside the gym during night time - had to boost my ISO to 8000 most of the time to get half decent exposure at a shutter speed of 1/250 or 1/350 (usually sports photography is done at 1/1000). The result is a lot of grain but it's still a nice action shot none the less. In future I will be experimenting with a maximum ISO of 1600, a slower shutter speed and an aftermarket flash.
Festus G. Mogae, Chairperson of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC), met with the Group of 10 (former detainees), members of Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army-In-Opposition (SPLM/A-IO), and members of the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS) on 22 December 2015. During his welcoming remarks, Mr. Mogae said the return of SPLM/A-IO indicates their commitment to restoring peace and implementing the Agreement in South Sudan. “Your return is not the end of the road, but the start of another important journey,” he stressed.
He also mentioned his appreciation of the Government for enabling the first group of the SPLM/A (IO) to return, and urged both parties to plan for the expeditious return of the second and third groups, in accordance with the proposed plan. In remarks aimed at the greater South Sudanese population, he said “in this season of hope, forgiveness and renewal … this Christmas, 2015, is the last celebrated in a context of conflict.”
The main purposes of the meeting were: a) to ensure the timely establishment of the main pre-transitional institutions, b) to hear from the leadership of the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism (CTSAMM) about their activities, challenges and how best to support their efforts in future, c) to hear from the Parties on the status, to date, of the cantonment of forces and d) to move forward with the other processes necessary to establish the Transitional Government of National Unity, as required by the Compromise Peace Agreement.
From the history (short version)
The municipality of Sankt Veit im Pongau extends both north and south of the (river) Salzach. On a low mountain terrace above the Salzach Valley lies the market town 763 meters above sea level. The picture of this small town still is characterized by the rectangular market square which was laid out in the 13th century with the parish church Saint Vitus standing elevated above its western end.
Already in the Early Bronze Age (2000-1500 BC) existed in connection with the in the area operated copper ore mining a settlement at Klinglberg. It is thought that the camp only in winter was inhabited and the coarse copper in spring was transported down the Salzach to the vicinity of Salzburg. Numerous findings also document settlements north of the market and at Brandstattbühel (1200-900 BC.). In the early Iron Age (ca. 450-15 BC.) also St. Veit was Celtic settlement area. From Roman times has been preserved a grave relief, thas has been walled in there in the church tower, on that a Celtic pair is represented.
Some time between 800 and 1100 arose on the sunny ideal logistical terrace a church settlement. The first written mention of the town as well as of the parish ("Parrochia sancti Viti") is handed down with the deed of gift of the Archbishop of Salzburg Gebhard from the year 1074. 1244 the Archbishop Eberhard transferred the parish to the cathedral chapter. St. Veit was for centuries the mother parish and thus a center of southern Pongau. Subsequently St. Veit in the late Middle Ages (13th century) was extended to a periodic market place, already in 1284 can be found the designation as "forum" (market place), in 1425 the market right was set out in writing. Since the secularization of the cathedral chapter in 1807 St. Veit is an independent parish again.
The first church was single naved and was probably built 850-950 in the Romanesque style. After the fire of 1334, which the church and half of the market fell victim to, this one was rebuilt and at the same time enlarged. In subsequent time yet several alterations and enlargements were carried out. The still today existing building is a four-naved Gothic basilica (around 1400), the only one in the province of Salzburg.
At the time of the great emigration under Archbishop Firmian in 1731 - the Pongau was the center of Salzburg Protestants - alone from the local jurisdiction Goldegg/St. Veit 3100 evangelical Christians had to leave their homes. According to tradition, they held their last worhip service at the today still existing chapel Pfarriachsteinkapelle. Most of the immigrants in East Prussia (Lithuania) found a new home. There they were friendly welcomed, but their desire to get settled united, could not be met. Only very few of them had managed to sell their goods before the emigration. In the directory of the goods of the emigrants being available in open sale, for Goldegg and St. Veit 268 farms were offered for sale. This list was sent to the Tyrol, Bavaria and to the Rhineland to gain good Catholic settlers.
To prevent a resurgence of Protestantism in Pongau, archbishop Firmian 1736-1741 for "better indoctrination" and monitoring of the people in the district of St. Veit Schwarzach a mission station had built (later Hospital). During this period, the mission house, farm buildings and the church in Schwarzach had built. The mission area extended to the judicial districts of St. Johann, Großarl, Goldegg, St. Veit, Gastein and Wagrain.
During the French Wars 1800-1805, St. Veit was repeatedly occupied by French troops and the population had to provide space for billetings of troops (Truppeneinquartierungen) and high payments to the French occupation power.
At the time of the freedom struggle of 1809 by the jurisdiction Goldegg (with St. Veit) 25 riflemen and 180 militiamen (Landstürmer) in defense of the Pass Lueg and Pongauer valley accesses were provided.
From a table can be seen that in the guardianship court Goldegg from May 1809 to March 1810 416 officers, 11,328 soldiers (Austrians, Frenchmen and Bavarians) with 126 horses marched through and, at times, also encamped here. Due to the chaos of war and the high cost of food, the country was sucked out and the people were impoverished.
After the capitulation of Austria in 1810 followed in Salzburg the Bavarian rule before it finally on May 1, 1816 came to Austria.
The Revolutionary year of 1848 for the municipality brought a major change. St. Veit like all other communities became a "free community with the right to self-rule" and on July 9, 1850, took place the first election to local council were Johann Rest (Neuwirt) became first mayor. This was based on the "Provisional Imperial Municipalities Act of 1848". The motto was "The foundation of a free state is the free community." Thus the tutelage by the sovereign's Pflegegerichte (administrative or judicial bodies) ended and it could develop a local self-government.
From 1873 to 1875 the railway line "Giselabahn" (Wörgl-Zell- Salzburg) was built and St. Veit after intervention before the Emperor on 5 November 1877 got a stop in Schwarzach. Great importance obtained the station as a starting point for the Tauern railway which was built as a direct connection to Trieste.
As a result of railway construction it came in the district Schwarzach to a strong influx. So this district was separated from St. Veit and in conformity with Imperial decision on 2nd June 1906 appointed to independent community of Schwarzach.
The First World War also on St. Veit brought much poverty and suffering. Thus St. Veit 1914-1918 was suffering many wounded, and 40 fallen and 5 missing men.
The severe agricultural crisis of the late twenties and the subsequent economic crisis leads to high unemployment, indebtedness of the agriculture and this is the breeding ground for the Nazi ideas. After the Annexation of Austria by Germany, many hoped in future an economic betterment. After initial economic successes, the Nazi terror and the Second World War also on St. Veit population brought immeasurable suffering.
There were many men coming back as disabled veterans. 63 St. Veiter have fallen and 13 are missing. Many men are in captivity as prisoners of war. The last returnee only on June 4, 1955 came back from Russian captivity.
After 1945 St. Veit was American occupation zone. There were many "bombed-out" people accommodated in St. Veit and there was a great famine. Austria at that time was among the countries most threatened by hunger in the world.
With help from abroad (especially America and Switzerland), the situation improved in the following years and by optimism, a strong will and hard work a better future could be created.
