Hagia Sophia (Turkish: Ayasofya, from the Greek: Αγία Σοφία, "Holy Wisdom"; Latin: Sancta Sophia or Sancta Sapientia) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey.
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Seville Cathedral in 1520.
The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 A.D. on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots).
It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 foot (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focal point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.

The Y chromosome is one of two human sex chromosomes, the other being the X chromosome. When researchers completed the first human genome sequence 20 years ago, gaps were left in the sequences of every chromosome, and in the race to sequence the human genome, the Y chromosome got left in the dust.
The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium, a team of researchers funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has generated the first truly complete sequence of a human Y chromosome, the final human chromosome to be fully sequenced. The new sequence, which fills in gaps across more than 50% of the Y chromosome’s length, uncovers important genetic features with implications for fertility, such as factors in sperm production.

On Interstate 5 near South 216th Street in SeaTac, WA the framework for a new concrete barrier is in place. Concrete will be placed over the rebar and left to cure. The barrier is part of the SR 509 Completion Project which includes improvements on I-5.
The completion project is being built under the Puget Sound Gateway Program. The Gateway program combines the State Route 509 Completion Project in King County and the SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County to complete critical missing links in Washington’s highway and freight network.
Completion of two of the three research pads on the South end of the EGK site. Taken Oct 12, 2006. These pads float on 1" of sand to isolate the ground vibrations from the mounts. The center pad is the EGK Observatory, IAU code H05. The 40" square acommodates both of my scopes, the 18" has a rectangular base. The outer two pads have 3 rectangular pavers to acommodate a wide range of tripod mounts. The lava rock experiment was later move from the square pad to the loading area below the ramp off of my truck bed for better winter traction while offloading and loading the truck of the two 225 lbs buggies

**Northern Pacific Railroad Completion Site, 1883** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 83001075, date listed 1983-08-19
Off I-90
MT (Powell County)
This property is significant because it includes the site of the completion on August, 22, 1883, of the Northern Pacific Railroad, first of the northern transcontinental railroads. A major celebration also occurred at this site on September 8, 1883, commemorating the completion with a ceremonial driving of the "Last Spike". In the Nineteenth Century, railroads were lifelines for isolated communities, and the presence of a rail line often assured the survival of a town. The Northern Pacific permitted settlement and development of the states and territories through which it ran. Within seven years of the line's completion, Montana, North Dakota, Idaho, and Washington all became states. Without the railroad that process would have been considerably delayed. (1)

On Sept. 25, 2024, WSDOT’s Puget Sound Gateway Program celebrated a milestone for the SR 509 Completion Project in SeaTac. Elected leaders and representatives from the state, local cities, the Port of Seattle, Sound Transit, freight gathered on the SR 509 expressway to mark the beginning of the second stage of construction.
In this photo, retiring Senator Karen Keiser smiles as other legislators pay tribute to her support of the project. To her right is Rep. Debra Entenman and Rep. Chris Stearns.
The second stage builds 2 miles of the expressway from 24th Avenue South in SeaTac to South 188th Street near the southwest corner of Sea-Tac Airport. The celebration was held at the point where the first stage (from I-5 to 24th Avenue South) will connect with the upcoming stage.
In these photos, the first stage of the new expressway is clearly shown, with the paved roadway, median barriers and bridges forming a backdrop for the speakers and the festivities. After speeches concluded, guests were invited to choose a preprinted, beribboned card that listed a benefit of the project. They then lined up and each held a ribbon of their own card and the person standing next to them to create a ribbon of benefits.
The Puget Sound Gateway Program combines the SR 509 Completion Project in King County and the SR 167 Completion Project in Pierce County to complete critical missing links in Washington state's highway and freight network. These projects build important new connections to the state's ports, improve the movement of freight and reduce congestion on local roads and highways.

Biologists scan a small section of the Surprise Lake Tributary near Fife, WA looking for fish. Once spotted, they'll scoop them up, place them in buckets of water and move them to a new location.
De-fishing is a critical first step before we can begin working in creeks. Whether the fish (and other aquatic species) have protected status or not, our goal is to make sure they all survive.
We de-fished this part of the tributary before beginning the heavy work of restoring the entire wetlands. The work is part of the SR 167 Completion Project. In addition to building six new miles of highway, we're also restoring more than 150 acres of wetlands and creeks on both sides of I-5 near the Fife curve.
The wetland area was converted to agricultural and industrial use decades ago. Our work will restore the area to a natural state and create habitat for fish and wildlife.
The SR 167 Completion project is part of our Puget Sound Gateway Program which completes critical links in our highway and freight network. It will build an important new connection to the Port of Tacoma, improve the movement of freight and reduce congestion on local roads and highways.
Students in the Infrastructure Academy M+I Core program are recognized during a graduation ceremony on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025, at Austin Community College’s Riverside Campus lecture hall. ACC faculty, staff, employers and families attended to celebrate the graduates, many of whom have been or will be hired upon completion.
Work nears completion on the North County Transit Center, a new transit center is located at 3140 Pershall Road between West Florissant Avenue and New Halls Ferry Road in Ferguson, Missouri, and is scheduled to open this spring.
The 2022 United Association Instructor Training Program culminated in a completion ceremony, where more than 200 UA members crossed the stage to receive an ITP certificate, a WCC associate degree or both.

"Blossoming into completion" is a sentence I remember from one of the numerous talks by Osho (Shree Rajneesh), who opened the world's many spiritual paths for me - and some of my soul too..
He once talked about a valley in the Himalaya's that had only been discovered just recently. Quite difficult to reach, it had an overwhelmingly large amount of rare and almost extinct flowers. Endless fields of the most precious plants and flowers. No one ever watched them, or appreciated their beauty, let alone pick them. I still remember Osho's soft voice, always sounding slighly drunk :
"For whom are they blossoming? For no one! Useless beauty! They are just blossoming into completion"
Some days, that quote is a much needed antidote for narcissism and my presumed need for attention.
