Shortcake is a sweet cake or biscuit. Shortcake is made with flour, baking powder or soda, butter, milk or cream, sometimes eggs; the dry ingredients are blended, the butter is cut in until the mixture resembles cornmeal. The liquid ingredients are mixed in just until moistened, resulting in a shortened dough; the dough is dropped in spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and cut like baking powder biscuits, or poured into a cake pan, depending on how wet the dough is and the baker's preferences. It is baked at a high temperature until set. Strawberry shortcake is a known dessert made with shortcake. Sliced strawberries are mixed with sugar and allowed to sit an hour or so, until the strawberries have surrendered a great deal of their juices; the shortcakes are split and the bottoms are covered with a layer of strawberries and whipped cream flavored with sugar and vanilla. The top is replaced, more strawberries and whipped cream are added onto the top; some convenience versions of shortcake are not made with a shortcake at all, but instead use a base of sponge cake or sometimes a corn muffin.

Kagura suzu are a set of twelve bells used in kagura dance. The set consists of three tiers of bells suspended by coiled brass wires from a central handle: two bells on the top tier, four bells on the middle tier, six bells for the bottom tier; the shape of the bells are thought to have been inspired from the fruits of the ogatama tree. The term suzu refers to small bells in general, but can refer to two Japanese instruments associated with Shinto ritual: A single large crotal bell similar in shape to a sleigh bell and having a slit on one side. A handheld bell-tree with small crotal bells strung in three levels on a spiraling wire; the larger form may be hung from a rafter in front of a Shinto shrine and sounded by a robe or ribbons that hang within reach of the worshipper. The smaller suzu is supported atop a handle and is held by female shrine attendants costumed in traditional robes, white-powered faces, wearing Heian-period coiffure during performances of Kagura dances. Kagura is a term encompassing Shinto instrumental music and dances performed at shrines and at court.

It was formalized as early as 773. These small bells, ritual implements of great antiquity, may be grouped together in bundles for folk and ceremonial performances

Aulus Sempronius Atratinus was a Roman Republican politician of the gens Sempronia during the beginning of the 5th century BC. He served as Consul of Rome in 497 BC and again in 491 BC, he was of the patrician branch of his gens although the Sempronia gens included certain plebeian families. Aulus Sempronius Atratinus served as a Roman consul in 497 BC and 491 BC. In both of those terms, he served together with Marcus Minucius Augurinus. Livy cites Sempronius Atratinus as without a cognomen, but the consular records show only his cognomen. Dionysius of Halicarnassus refers to him with his full name. During his first consular appointment in 497 BC, he consecrated the newly built Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum; the aforementioned writers relate the foundation with the festivals of Saturnalia. There had been a famine in Rome in the previous year and, in 491 BC during Sempronius' second consulship, a significant quantity of corn was imported from Sicily, the question of how it should be distributed amongst the Roman citizens, together with tensions arising from the recent secession of the plebs, led to the exile and defection of Gaius Marcius Coriolanus after he unsuccessfully advocated the reversal of the reforms which arose from the secession, including the creation of the office of the tribunes.

Dionysius of Halicarnassus further states that Sempronius Atratinus was a prefect of Rome during the Battle of Lake Regillus. The same historian writes that Sempronius Atratinus was involved in the wars against the Hernici and the Volsci in 487 BC, he was again made a prefect of Rome and was appointed Interrex of the people in 482 BC.
