Silvana Kane

Silvana Kane (born Silvana Petrozzi) is best known for her work as the founder and frontwoman of Vancouver-based global pop group Pacifika. Her debut solo album, La Jardinera, was released in 2012 under Six Degrees Records.

Early life

Though born in Lima, Peru, at the age of seven Kane and her family moved to Vancouver. It was there that the budding musician learned English and picked up on her parents’ piano and violin training. Two years later the Kane family returned to Peru, though only temporarily. They would next locate to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. By the time Kane was fourteen the family settled down in Vancouver. It was then that the young artist was able to dive into her passion for music.

Career

From 1990 until 1992 Kane (as Silvana Petrozzi) was a member of Canadian pop band West End Girls. After extensive travels throughout Europe and a stint in Toronto, Kane finally settled back in Vancouver. It was there that she reconnected with former high school-bandmate Adam Popowitz and formed Pacifika. A few years later Kane and Popowitz were joined by Toby Peter. The band’s one requirement was that all their music needed to have a “positive vibe”. The trio have released two albums under Six Degrees Records: Asuncion (2008) and Supermagique (2010). Kane’s solo debut, La Jardinera (2012), pays tribute to the South American musical heroes of her youth.

Kane (video game)

Kane is a multi-section action game published by Mastertronic, originally for the Commodore 64 in 1986. The game was then ported to a wide variety of other home computers. The game is set in the Wild West, and its name is a reference to the main character of the film High Noon. The game consists of four distinct scenes, although some versions only contain two. A sequel to the game was released in 1988.

Gameplay

The player takes the role of Sheriff of the town of Kane. The game is split into four levels, two of which are shooting games using an on-screen target and two of which are side-scrolling action sequences on horseback. Only the shooting levels are present in all versions of the game. These may be played separately in the practice mode (with only one try given), but in order to complete and win the game, they must be played successively. The progress in the first scene defines the tries given in the next scenes.

Kane (crater)

Kane is the walled remains of a lunar crater that has been flooded by lava from Mare Frigoris to the south, and it lies on the northeast edge of this mare. The crater lies midway between the craters C. Mayer to the west and Democritus in the east. To the north-northeast is the crater Moigno.

The floor of this crater is flat and covered in lava flow, with no significant craters within the outer rim. Nothing remains of a central peak, if it ever possessed such a feature. The outer wall displays gaps along the south where it joins the Mare Frigoris. The remainder of the rim is circular but displays wear.

The crater is named after the American Arctic explorer Elisha Kent Kane (1820-1857).

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Kane.
