Nicollet County is a county in the U. S. state of Minnesota. As of the 2010 census, the population was 32,727, its county seat is St. Peter. Nicollet County is part of the Mankato -- MN Metropolitan Statistical Area. In 1849 the Minnesota Territory legislature defined the boundaries of nine future counties. One of those, contained the area north of the Minnesota River where it altered its flow from southeast to northeast. In 1853 the first settler had homesteaded an area on the northeast run of the river, the following year the settlement of Saint Peter was platted there. Seeing the inflow of settlers into the areas adjoining the river, on 5 March 1853 the territorial legislature partitioned off the lower portion of Dakota County to form a separate entity, it was named for Joseph Nicolas Nicollet, a French explorer whose maps of the area had been instrumental in the territory's development. The county seat was established at Saint Peter; the Minnesota River flows eastward along the south border of Nicollet County, from its northwest corner to its northeast corner, defining the county's south line.

Miloje Vasić was a Serbian archaeologist, regarded as one of the most distinguished representatives of the humanistic studies in Serbia. Professor at the University of Belgrade and member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, he was the first educated Serbian archaeologist, is considered as the founder of the modern archaeology in Serbia. Known for his eclectic interests outside of archaeology, his most significant accomplishment was discovery of the Neolithic site of Vinča culture in 1905 and subsequent excavation, which began in 1908. Vasić was born on 16 September 1869 in Veliko Gradište, eastern Serbia, to Persa, a housewife, Milojko Vasić, a tailor. Miloje was one of eleven children, he graduated from the gymnasiums in Veliko Gradište and Belgrade, the Faculty of Philology and history at the Grandes écoles from 1888 to 1892. He became a gymnasium professor at Veliko Gradište, Negotin and Belgrade. In March 1895 he accepted an invitation by Mihailo Valtrović director of the National Museum in Belgrade, to become his deputy.

Obtaining a scholarship from the Serbian government, Vasić went to Germany to study philology, art history and classical archaeology. He spent four semesters in Berlin, before moving to Munich. Mentored by one of the greatest names of classical archaeology of the day, professor Adolf Furtwängler, he received a PhD in 1899 with the thesis Torch in the culture and arts of the Greeks, published in Belgrade in 1900. After returning from Germany in 1901, he became an archaeology lecturer at the Belgrade Higher School, an honorary docent in October 1903 and full from March 1905 when Higher School was transformed into University; when Valtrović retired in 1906, Vasić replaced him as director of the National Museum, which allowed narrow cooperation between two institutions, both dealing with archaeology. He spent World War I in exile and when government refused funds to museum's renewal after the war ended, Vasić resigned as director. In 1920 he became an assistant professor at the University and was promoted to the full professorial tenure in 1922.

He retired in 1939, after turning 70, but continued to teach honorary until 23 March 1941 when he was removed from the University and Veselin Čajkanović took over Archaeological seminar. Due to the lack of personnel, he was reactivated after the World War II in 1947 before retiring in 1955. Vasić was interested in prehistoric and classical archaeology and medieval Serbian archaeology and sculpture. After graduating in Belgrade, he published two noted, scientifically well documented works in Starinar, oldest journal of the Serbian archaeological society, on Roman cities of Pincum and Viminacium, modern Veliko Gradište and Kostolac, respectively. After finishing his studies in Germany he excavated prehistoric settlements of Jablanica, near Međulužje, Čaršija, near Ripanj and Mali Drum, near Popović, all south-east of Belgrade, he published his findings in foreign scientific journals. Based on those articles, he compiled a massive study Contributions to the solving Trojan problems, published in the Serbian Royal Academy's journal Glas SKA.

In his study, Vasić pointed out that the Neolithic cultures of Danube valley are connected to the existing cultural complex of the Southeastern Europe, rather than those of the Northern Europe, a dominant scientific opinion at the time. He continued with excavations of the prehistoric, late Neolithic settlements throughout Serbia, including Žuto Brdo in 1906, near Veliko Gradište, Gradac in 1909, near Zlokućane. Findings in Gradac, a large settlement, include the anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines from the Neolithic, but some from the Eneolithic and the Iron Age, he conducted extensive surveillance of the terrain in eastern and southern Serbia. After he was forced to retire from University in 1941 though in advanced age, he continued to do some excavations, though he wrote. Through his work in Higher School and University, Serbian archaeological society and with his many articles published in English, German and Serbian languages, within one decade he elevated Serbian archaeological science to the world level.

Journals in which he published his works include Austrian Jahreshefte des Österreichischen Archäologischen Instituts, German Römische Mitteilungen, Archiv für Anthropologie, Prähistorische Zeitschrift and Jahrbuch des deutschen Archäologischen Instituts, French Revue Archeologique and British The Annual of the British School at Athens. Vasić's greatest archaeological successes were excavations in Vinča. At the time a village on the bank of the Danube, east of Belgrade, today its suburb, the find was discovered in 1905. A tell on the loess terrace above the river, site of Vinča-Belo Brdo is one of the most important prehistoric localities in Europe, it gave name, Vinča culture, to the culture of the late Neolithic and early Eneolithic, beginning from c. 5700 BCE. It is considered to be the earliest known example of copper metallurgy in history; the find was discovered in Vasić excavated it in four turns. Initial work was done in 1908, he published his findings in several foreign journals, getting the scientific circles familiar with the site.

He returned to Vinča in 1911–13, financially backed by the Russian Archaeological Institute of Constantinople. In this period, in 1911 and 1912, he discovere

Jagirpally is a village in the Karimnagar District of Telangana, India. Coming under Saidapur Mandal, it is situated near the famous temple village Godisaala. During the Kakatiya dynasty, one of the Kakatiya senaani built the Shiva temple here; this temple came into the light during some archaeological excavations and the people believed that this temple is more famous than the Vemulavaada temple. Jagirpally is near to Vangara, the hometown of the former Prime Minister of India, P. V. Narasimha Rao, it is believed. It was part of Saidapur Gram Panchayit's ward. Entire village received one ward but no political importance until the early 1990s. After the number of voters reached 1,000, the government elected separate Sarpanch elections to the village. Jagirpally has produced some good talent. Children used to walk for 3 km to reach the High School located at Venkapally to continue their studies from 6th to 10th; the majority of the population is dependent on agriculture. There are a few good doctors from this village like Laxmaiah Avula, Indrasena Reddy K and Srinivas K, as well as scientists like Prashanth A and Satyanarayana K and software engineers like Vishnuvardhan K, Srinivas Reddy K, Sridhar K, Srikanth B, Praveen T and Anjaneyulu M, among others.

There are government employees like Sampath P and Ravinder G. There are people who are working in different areas, like medical, education institutes and other private institutes. Agriculture in this village is 100% based on the rain water and under the lakes. Between 1990 and the early 2000s, there was a severe drought resulting in many people migrating to Hyderabad. Some, went to Dubai and worked in bad conditions. There was no bank until the early 2010s in the village as people were not used to getting loans for crops
