Eduardo José Gomes Camassele Mendes (born 18 January 1962 in Barcelos), known as Dito, is a retired Portuguese footballer who played as a central defender, and a manager.
During 16 professional seasons Dito appeared in 358 Primeira Liga matches, starting his career with S.C. Braga, for which he was already an important first-team member at the age of 18, and signing with S.L. Benfica in 1986 after six years in Minho.
During his two season-spell with Benfica, Dito played in 27 league games in his first year as the Lisbon club won the double, then partnered Carlos Mozer in his second (no silverware won). He then moved to rivals and title holders FC Porto for one season, with Benfica regaining its domestic supremacy at the expense of precisely the northerners.
From 1989 to 1994, always in the top division, Dito represented Vitória de Setúbal, S.C. Espinho and Gil Vicente FC. After an unassuming stint with A.D. Ovarense in the second level he retired from football, aged 34.
Dito's biggest achievement as a coach was managing S.C. Salgueiros over the course of three top flight campaigns, being sacked after the tenth round of 1999–2000 as the Paranhos team eventually retained its status. In 2009 he returned to his first team Braga, being appointed at its junior sides.
Punk or punks may refer to:
A number of cyberpunk derivatives have become recognized as distinct subgenres in speculative fiction. These derivatives, though they do not share cyberpunk's computers-focused setting, may display other qualities drawn from or analogous to cyberpunk: a world built on one particular technology that is extrapolated to a highly sophisticated level (this may even be a fantastical or anachronistic technology, akin to retro-futurism), a gritty transreal urban style, or a particular approach to social themes.
The most successful of these subgenres, Steampunk, has been defined as a "kind of technological fantasy", and others in this category sometimes also incorporate aspects of science fantasy and historical fantasy. Scholars have written of these subgenres' stylistic place in postmodern literature, and also their ambiguous interaction with the historical perspective of postcolonialism.
American author Bruce Bethke coined the term "cyberpunk" in his 1980 short story of the same name, proposing it as a label for a new generation of punk teenagers inspired by the perceptions inherent to the Information Age. The term was quickly appropriated as a label to be applied to the works of William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, John Shirley, Rudy Rucker, Michael Swanwick, Pat Cadigan, Lewis Shiner, Richard Kadrey, and others. Science fiction author Lawrence Person, in defining postcyberpunk, summarized the characteristics of cyberpunk thus:
Punk was a Punk and Ska radio station on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 29 and Dish Network channel 6029. In its time it rivaled Fungus 53 on XM Satellite Radio. It was added to Sirius Canada on June 24, 2008.
On September 19, 2006, following the merger of Sirius and XM, both Punk and Fungus were approved. To the dismay of many customers, both channels were replaced with a 24-hour AC/DC channel.
