9 . The proprietary dispensing system of claim 7 , wherein said support platform is biased by a spring.

10 . The proprietary dispensing system of claim 7 , wherein said indicator comprises magnets.

11 . The proprietary dispensing system of claim 7 , further comprising a guide wall extending from said base, and partially circumscribing the periphery of said support platform.

12 . The proprietary dispensing system of claim 7 , wherein said support platform rotates through a platform aperture disposed in said base.

13 . A proprietary dispensing system comprising:

a dispensing container having an attachment aperture, said dispensing container having a tube with an inlet to receive liquid material carried by said dispensing container, said tube in fluid communication with said dome pump and a dispensing nozzle, wherein a one-way valve is disposed between said inlet and said dome pump;

a base for carrying said dispensing container, said base having a having a resting section to normally support said base on a surface, said base including a pivot section extending at one end of said resting section upwardly, away from the surface, so as to form a pivot edge;

a wall extending from said pivot section, said wall having a pivot aperture therethrough;

a protrusion extending from said base, said protrusion configured to selectively actuate said dome pump;

an actuation assembly carried by said pivot aperture, said actuation assembly configured to pivot relative to said base, said actuation assembly configured to be lockingly received within said attachment aperture of said dispensing container;

a controller carried by said base, said controller storing a count value;

a switch coupled to said controller, said switch carried by said base so as to be in operative alignment with said dispensing container; and

a display coupled to said controller;

wherein when said dispensing container is pivoted by said actuation assembly so that said dome pump is actuated by said protrusion to dispense material from said dispensing nozzle, said switch is actuated to update said count value, which is presented on said display.

14 . The proprietary dispensing system of claim 13 , wherein said actuation assembly comprises a pivot sleeve configured to be received within said attachment aperture of said dispensing container, said pivot sleeve being resiliently biased to a support shaft that is configured to be carried by said pivot aperture.

15 . The proprietary dispensing system of claim 14 , wherein said pivot sleeve is resiliently biased to said support shaft by a spring.

16 . A proprietary dispensing system comprising:

a dispensing container having a dispensing nozzle that when actuated dispenses material therefrom, said dispensing container having a base surface, that includes a stop tab and an engagement arm, said engagement arm having one or more control tabs extending therefrom;
