A no-holds-barred expose on the financial transactions of the
world's favourite sport The transfer fees clubs pay to sign top
players now top 4 billion a year but much of the money has been
flowing out of the game. A small group of wealthy investors
including Russian oligarchs, English racehorse owners and a former
billionaire gold miner have seized the opportunity to enter this
booming market. Some have moved in on the territory of banks and
lent money to clubs in exchange for a share in fees generated by
Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and dozens more of today's stars. Others
have acquired obscure teams to get a piece of the pie. Even as the
global financial crisis sent fortunes tumbling this select group
found a profitable place to park their money. The size of the
transfer market has continued to rise - it increased seven-fold in
value the last two decades, more than the FTSE share index. Between
them, these wealthy investors have amassed hundreds of millions of
euros in profits. At the same time, they have managed to stay out
of the spotlight the world s most popular sport brings. Football s
Secret Trade follows the money along a trail very few know about,
from nondescript offices in the U.K. and ramshackle stadiums of
South American clubs you have probably never heard of to offshore
bank accounts in the Caribbean. Warning you won t see a major
transfer deal in the same light again.
The Ada 2012 Reference Manual is an enhanced version of the text of
International Standard ISO/IEC 8652/2012(E) for the programming
language Ada. The Ada 2012 Reference Manual combines all of the
previous corrections of Technical Corrigendum 1 and Amendment 1
with changes and additions that improve the capabilities of the
language and the reliability of programs written in the language.
The Ada 2012 Reference Manual will replace the former versions as
an indispensable working companion for anybody using Ada
professionally or learning and studying the language
systematically.
The Ada 2005 Reference Manual combines the International
Standard ISO/IEC 8652/1995(E) for the programming language Ada with
the corrections of the Technical Corrigendum 1 approved by ISO in
February 2001 and with the Amendment 1 expected to be approved by
ISO in late 2006 or early 2007. Both the Technical Corrigendum 1
and the Amendment 1 list only the changes made to the International
Standard.
This Ada 95 Reference Manual is essentially identical to the new
International Standard ISO/IEC 8652:1995(E) for the Ada programming
language. The thorough technical revisions and extensions
documented in this manual are built on broad participation from the
international Ada community and generous support by leading
institutions. Over 750 submitted revision requests were evaluated,
and the resulting enhancements make Ada 95 an outstanding language.
The flexibility of languages such as C++, modern features such as
object orientation, and improved interfacing capabilities have been
added to the reliable software engineering capabilities provided
and proven for over a decade by the predecessor version Ada 83;
furthermore, upward compatibility from Ada 83 to Ada 95 has been
achieved.
