The Turkish practice of exposing people to cowpox to induce smallpox immunity. It was based on observed immunity of milkmaids. Jenner expanded and improved the idea. This is discussed in history of medicine books.

It's actually the Hagia Sophia.

Hagia comes from the Greek Agios (pardon mis-spellings) which means holy or saint.

Hence Hagia Sophia is Saint Sophia.

Those that carry their laundry on their head do not refer to it by this name, they have picked something else (which I do not remember nor care to know). They did however bastardize it by placing minarets around it and other alterations.
