...Cinnamon Challenge… What exactly is the cinnamon challenge? The Cinnamon Challenge is a challenge in which a person tries to eat 1 tablespoon of Cinnamon without the use of water in under 60 seconds.

The most common being Ceylon and Cassia cinnamon; the varieties differ in texture, color and flavor. In China, cinnamon has been used to treat colds, nausea, diarrhea, help diabetics, and improve digestion. Cinnamon is a type of spice. Spice is an aromatic or pungent vegetable substance used to flavor food, e.g., cloves, pepper, or mace; flavor with spice. Cinnamon is one of the oldest spices known. It was mentioned in the Bible and was used in ancient Egypt not only as a beverage, but flavoring and medicine as well. Cinnamon is found in many parts of the world from India, China, Madagascar, and Brazil to the Caribbean. It was so highly treasured that it was considered more valuable than gold. The use of cinnamon dates back as long ago as 4,000 years. It has a broad range of historical uses in different cultures. Cinnamon has been used as a treatment of diarrhea, gas relief, bloating, regulating glucose, as an antibacterial and many more. Cinnamon is harvested by growing the tree two years and then cutting it. The next year a dozen or more shoots will form from the roots. These shoots are then stripped of their bark and left to dry.

Depending on the kind of the proposed projects, I would like to figure out the advantages and perspectives of each of them. However, I think that there are some fundamental questions to ask.

What is the predicted revenue? How profitable is it? How liquid is this suggestion?

...in cinnamon that gives it its unique scent and flavor. This yellowish, sweet, and oily liquid [Cheng] is found naturally occurring in the bark of small evergreen trees called Cinnamomum zeylanicum [Burnham], which are located in southern parts of India and Sri Lanka. Dating back to ancient times when it was first discovered, Cinnamon had great value. People living in biblical times used it as a perfume or anointing oil, while Egyptians used it in the burial of their mummies. Each civilization had a different use for it, but in all civilizations it was an item of worth. Cinnamaldehyde has many other names to describe it, but the most common name (other than its common name Cinnamaldehyde) is its IUPAC name: (2E)-3-phenylprop-2-enal, or 3-phenyl-2-propenal. Its formula is C6H5CH=CHCHO, it is in the family of aldehydes, and the Merck Index Number is 2297.

...Tampico spice company was established in 1947 by a man named Jesus Martinez. Jesus Martinez was born in California before the stock market crash of 1929. During his upbringing Mr. Martinez was raised in poverty, however he continued to keep his faith in life that things one day will turn around for the best for him and his family. Mr. Martinez bought his first set of spices with what little money he could scrape up. He would go door to door selling his home packed spices in his neighborhood and surrounding markets. His little profit soon became double that, and soon after the beginning of his empire began. As time passed he increased his spices by a number of known and un-known mixtures that soon after became very popular. He later introduced herbs that helped with many home remedies to help alleviate certain body discomforts. For example one of his herbs that his Tampico brand produces is “Cilantro seeds”. The first time I seen this herb was when my wife went out and purchased a pack of it. I asked her what it’s for and she said that its to help relax the irritability of a colic prone infant. I watched her boil one tablespoon of the seeds and when it cools to the infants liking give it to him in a form of a tea. She gave it to my son. I was really thinking oh my god this is not going to work. Too much of my surprise my son within a few minutes was relaxed and was burping up a storm, that night my son had a good night’s sleep.

...Reflect and Evaluate Cinnamon Lakeside’s Marketing Principles With regard to Coursework 1, we were required to make a presentation on our analysis of the marketing performance of a brand of our choice. The brand we based our presentation on was “Cinnamon Lakeside”. The purpose of this essay is to identify, evaluate and reflect upon the principles of marketing as a whole and also those of the chosen brand i.e. Cinnamon Lakeside. Principles of Marketing The term “marketing” is defined as “the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large” (AMERICAN MARKETING ASSOCIATION, 2013). I have come to understand that marketing refers to the collection of activities performed by a business in order to carry out commodity exchange effectively and acquire and maintain customer relationships. In turn I have understood “marketing principles” to be the concepts and ideas according to which marketing activities are carried out. It is apparent to me that the principles of marketing (including those of Cinnamon Lakeside) revolve around the 4 P’s (and 7 P’s in the service industry including Cinnamon Lakeside). I have also come to a realization that while Porter’s five forces, PESTEL analysis and SWOT analysis are indispensable in the field of marketing they do not qualify as principles of marketing. They are tools used in the analysis of the current state...

...Cinnamon and Honey /Whoever thought? Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing" When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey. Cinnamon and Honey Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases.

...Harold Alvis Layna Leach Freshman English 1 6 April 2015 Sweet Smell of Homemade Cinnamon Rolls Homemade cinnamon rolls are better than anything you can buy in a can. To get started with this awesome recipe, I first start by scouring the aisles at the grocery store for each of the ingredients. I can almost smell them baking as I gather up the brown sugar and cinnamon. I start mixing the yeast up with just the right temperature water so it will rise correctly. And then I mix in a few other ingredients and then finally the flour. What a mess that always is!! The White powder is flying everywhere and stuck all to my clothes. The dough is always sticky and not easy to mix up. When I finally get it all mixed in, it looks like there will never be enough to make the cinnamon rolls. I put a damp towel over the bowl and try to wait patiently to see if it will do its magic and triple in size. Of course, I go back every little bit just to check and see what’s going on. The first few times there is very little change, so I decide to wait the full two hours to see if it will grow to full size. I finally pull the towel back, and the dough is so big it’s sticks to the towel. YES!!! It’s time to start rolling it out and making them into something yummy. I clean my surface good and then flour it well so that the dough doesn’t stick. Plop the dough out of the bowl onto the table and start rolling it out. Once it is completely rolled out, I melt a stick of butter in...

...foods ever, or as a snack throughout the day. I know in my case it’s an all day long kind of snack. The gooey, mouth-watering, caramelized cinnamon and sugar of monkey bread hits the spot no matter what time of day; but without one simple step to this mouth-watering medley it just wouldn’t be the same. To make monkey bread you want to initially make sure you have all your ingredients; which might mean taking a quick trip to the store. Most of the common household things you won’t need to pickup up: such as margarine, sugar, cinnamon, pam (or your choice of cooking spray), a pot, wooden spoon, bunt pan, and a platter to put your finished product on. Unless you’re running low on any of these items, the only things needed from the store are a can of Grand’s Flaky Layer biscuit’s and a can of Grand’s Home-style Buttermilk biscuit’s. Once you have obtained your ingredients and materials, you want to open up both cans of biscuit’s and preheat the oven to 350 degrees so that it is nice and warm by the time you are ready to use it. With the biscuits you just opened, you will also want to mix up about two cups of cinnamon and sugar. Once you have that mixture as you like, you can begin cutting up the biscuits. You want to cut one biscuit from each can into bite size pieces and place them both in the cinnamon and sugar. The cinnamon and sugar should be in a big enough bowl that when you go to coat the biscuits you just placed in there it won’t get all over the floor. Now...
