BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Hundreds of Pride activists gathered in the Serbian capital Saturday amid a heavy police presence and anti-gay messages sent by the country's conservative leadership and far-right groups. Last year, the LGBTQ+ event was marred by skirmishes between the police and anti-Pride groups who believe the event goes against traditional Serbian Christian Orthodox values and should be banned. The participants of the march on Saturday held banners reading 'We Are Not Even Close' — referring to the current status of the gay population is Serbia — as well as 'Marriage' and 'Queer Liberation not Rainbow Capitalism.

MANILA, Philippines— The Taguig City government slammed posts circulating on social media that the legal dispute over the Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation (BMR) is 'not yet over,' asserting its ownership of the complex, in a statement issued on Saturday, June 10. The posts claim that Makati Mayor Abby Binay allegedly discussed the issue with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Marcos and Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo. 'By themselves, these social media posts could be dismissed as unverified and anonymous posts in the category of fake news,' stated the Taguig city government.

Friedrich-Schiller-Universitaet Jena Structural formulae show how chemical compounds are constructed, i.e., which atoms they consist of, how these are arranged spatially and how they are connected. Chemists can deduce from a structural formula, among other things, which molecules can react with each other and which cannot, how complex compounds can be synthesised or which natural substances could have a therapeutic effect because they fit together with target molecules in cells. Developed in the 19th century, the representation of molecules as structural formulae has stood the test of time and is still used in every chemistry textbook.
