“…Protest is not uncommon to the effect that accepted methods of figuring charges for news service favor the big city journals and in each multi-paper city, favor the larger and stronger publications. 36 We can infer from this that the lower rates went to newspapers that already had AP news and thus placed a low value on additional news. Elsewhere is documented a "supplemental" service to newspapers already receiving the AP report on the one hand, and on the other an extremely high price ($14,000 per week) in the case of La Prensa in Argentina, where no other satisfactory news source existed.…”

This paper provides information about a multilingual (Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian, and French) virtual card game for computers and smartphones. Facing the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this game allows students to play remotely or face-to-face with friends in a fun and cooperative environment and review the topics related to the structural theory of organic compounds simultaneously. Brazilian and Italian undergraduate students played and evaluated the game positively. Also, learning assessments revealed that the game promotes learning equivalent to the traditional solving-problem classes. Therefore, the game is a playful alternative method to the conventional educational strategies for reviewing the content related to the structural theory of organic compounds in a fun way in a collaborative environment in which the students discuss the answer to each question.
