  • 2. La Televisión
    37 2. La Televisión 2.1. Introducción a la Televisión La televisión es una experiencia icónica, artificial, técnicamente producida, de acontecimientos y objetos cambiantes registrados mediante la cinematografía, expresados en forma puntual por rayos eléctricos de acuerdo con su intensidad luminosa difundida por transmisiones inalámbricas. La television crea la ilusión de movimiento al presentar ante el ojo una rápida sucesión de imágenes.16 La televisión es la transmisión y recepción a distancia de imágenes en movimiento. Es el fenómeno fotoeléctrico el que permite transformar las radiaciones luminosas en corriente eléctrica. Esto hace possible la codificación y transporte de la señal hasta un receptor que descodifique y transforme la corriente eléctrica en imagen visible. Descripción básica del Sistema Televisivo 17 16 y 17. José Martínez Abadía, Introducción a la tecnología audiovisual. Televisión, video, radio, Barcelona, España.

Elaboraba un giro del disco sobre su propio centro que hacía que la misma figura cobrara movimiento. 1877: Philo Farnsworth, ingeniero de radio El funcionario inglés, George Carey, estadounidense, inventó el iconoscopio presentó bosquejos de la cámara de y el tubo disector de imágenes.

  • What Employers Should Consider About the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim
    04.07.16 What Employers Should Consider about the Women Soccer Players' Wage Discrimination Claim What would you say if you were paid less money for winning than someone else was paid just for showing up? Is that wage discrimination? Yes it is, according to the stars of U.S. Women's National Soccer Team. Last week, five stars of World Cup Champion women's team filed a wage discrimination claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) against U.S. Soccer. Hope Solo, Carli Lloyd, Becky Sauerbrunn, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe claim that despite winning more, they are paid less than the men. According to the complaint: − The women's yearly salary is $72,000, compared to the men's yearly salary of $100,000 − The women are paid less for winning exhibition games than men get for simply showing up. The base pay for women to play in exhibition games is $3,600 and they get a bonus of $1,350 if they win; compared to the men who get paid a base of $5,000, with a bonus of $8,166 if they win; − The women receive a lower per diem rate for daily travel expenses. The women receive $50 per day for domestic travel and $60 per day for international travel, whereas the men receive $62.50 and $75.00 respectively; and − "The pay structure for advancement through the rounds of World Cup was so skewed that, in 2015, the men earned $9 million for losing in the round of 16, while the women earned only $2 million for winning the entire tournament.

  • 1 BEFORE the UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant Vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAIN
    BEFORE THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE Hope Solo, Claimant vs. United States Soccer Federation, Inc., Respondent COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 220527 OF THE TED STEVENS ACT I. INTRODUCTION 1. Pursuant to the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act1 (the “Stevens Act”), the United States Olympic Committee (“USOC”) has recognized the United States Soccer Federation (“USSF” or the “Federation”) as the National Governing Body (“NGB”) for the sport of soccer in the United States. This Complaint is being filed because the USSF has become blinded to its fundamental obligation as an NGB to “develop interest and participation throughout the United States and be responsible to the persons and amateur sports organizations it represents.”2 Instead, because of the power, prestige, status and money flowing from the Federation’s alliance with Major League Soccer, a professional men’s league (the “MLS”), and its affiliate, Soccer United Marketing, LLC (“SUM”), the USSF’s paramount concern has become protecting and nurturing the MLS, even if at the expense of other stakeholders, including those involved in professional women’s and amateur soccer. 1 36 U.S.C. § 220501 et seq. 2 Id. § 220524(1). 1 2. Because of its institutional bias in favor of MLS and commercial partnership with SUM, the Federation now appears to believe that its effectiveness should be judged not by how well amateur, youth, women’s and non-MLS men’s professional soccer are doing, but how well MLS is performing and how much money the Federation’s partnership with SUM is generating. Some Federation officials believe they are doing a good job because the entry fee MLS charges new teams keeps increasing even though not a penny of that money goes to the Federation or its non-MLS stakeholders.
