"St. Anne's Church in Dunav is a cultural heritage monument in Dunav, Gjilan, Kosovo. Built in 1938, the same year as the village mosque, the church is the only Catholic church in Gjilan, near the point where Kosovo, Serbia, and North Macedonia meet. Description The foundation is stone, while the walls are made from bricks bound with lime mortar. The façade wall is built from multicolored tuff mortared with jointed concrete. Left of the entrance, the square bell tower is high; its façade includes a niche at the front door's height and four narrow windows for illumination, while the tower's narrowest section tapers to a cross up top. Above the doorway, a simple plaque reads "Kisha Katolike e Shën Anës , 1938" ("St. Anne’s Catholic Church, 1938"). Two doors beside the front one were closed before the last renovation in 2012, one leading to the bell tower and the other to the confessional. A narrow hall leads directly into the nave, with the chapel accessible from three parallel entrances and containing pews on either side of the central aisle. The chapel is domed and has three stained glass windows on the side wall, ending in a transept with two side alcoves and a circular apse with its own outer circular window. The only relic of the original chancel by that apse is the altar table, and the eastern apse connects with the church annexes. The roof, upgraded with gutters in 2012, is dual, with a lower surface above the transept and a higher one above the apse. A statue of Our Lady of Good Friday was removed from this church and moved to the church of Saint Anthony of Padua in Binač. The church in is a prime location, with a churchyard reaching down toward in a terrace wall at the bottom of a hill. The yard is surrounded by poplars, some pines, and some lime trees. Though summers are quite hot at of altitude, a light north–south breeze cools. Although the church is not as popular as it once was as a place of worship, the church grounds have played host since 2011 to the Gjilan-based Beqir Musliu Arts Club's regional poetry festival known as the Trekëndëshi Poetik ("Poetic Triangle").

"Hilary Kiyo Finucane is an American computational biologist who is Co-Director of the Program in Medical and Population Genetics at the Broad Institute. Her group combines genetic data with molecular data to understand the origins and mechanisms of disease. Early life and education Finucane grew up in Maryland. She has said that her family enjoyed music and science. Finucane became interested in policy as a child, and started an Amnesty International student chapter at her high school. She was an undergraduate student at Harvard College, where eventually majored in mathematics and spent her spare time taking part in chamber music. After graduating from Harvard in 2009 Finucance moved to Israel where she joined the Weizmann Institute of Science. Here she focussed on theoretical computer science, completing a dissertation on geometric group theory. She developed an analytical tool (the Maximal information coefficient) that allows users to search complex data sets in an effort to identify meaningful relationships. Finucane became interested in the application of complex theoretical mathematics to the real world. She returned to the United States in 2012, where she worked toward a doctorate in applied mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She eventually started working with Alkes Price, with whom she developed statistical methods for understanding the genetic basis of human disease. In particular, Finucane considered how specific parts of the genome relate to activity in different cell types, making use of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to model these relationships. Research and career Finucane was appointed a Schmidt Fellow at the Broad Institute. She was awarded an National Institutes of Health Independence Award to combine data from ENCODE, the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, with GWAS and other biological information to better understand the cell types relevant to a particular disease. Soon after joining the Broad Institute, Finucane was made Associate Director of Medical and Population Genetics. Selected publications Personal life Finucane is married to Yakir Reshef, a computer scientist who works on the immune system. She met him during middle school.
