Abstract
For better or for worse, we live in a branded world. We are at a time in history when brands go beyond being business platforms to becoming symbols of our times. Brands like McDonald's, Sony and Budweiser often reflect the changing values of our society. Brands are more than just advertising, they are part of our culture. Andy Warhol and Campbell's? Soup. Norman Rockwell and Coca-Cola? (Lomsky-Feder & Rapoport, 32). One of the most enduring popular culture symbols and common household item is the PEZ dispenser. Invented in 1927, this unique form of candy is associated with popular icons of nearly every generation, multiple companies world wide and is the subject of thousands of web-pages devoted to the product, its nostalgic aspect, and the collecting of dispensers. PEZ dispensers and the consistent recipe of the candy itself, once designed simply as a smoker's breath mint, are now one of the most identifiable icons world-wide. It is the purpose of this paper to explore the history and importance in pop-culture of PEZ.

Abstract
This is an analytical essay on the belief of the Kingdom of God being delivered to the Children of Israel. This belief stems from writings in the Old Testament. What this essay analyzes is the belief that Jesus Christ has postponed his coming to deliver the kingdom in order that the majority may embrace him. To provide a wide viewpoint, the writer presents various viewpoints of the kingdom and the coming of Christ from believers, as well as the viewpoints from non-believers.
Outline:
Ideas from believers in the postponement
Ideas from non-believers in the postponement
From the Paper
"Meantime, the generally accepted term for those who believe the kingdom was postponed because God was upset with the Jews is Dispensationalists. Indeed, John Nelson Darby launched a movement called dispensational premillennialism, as it is known, in the early 19th Century. Darby's theory actually refers to the belief that Christ will return prior to the millennial period of peace that is written in Revelation (Malcolm, 2001).
"According to the National Catholic Reporter, those adhering to the dispensational premillennialism theory divide the history of the world into six or seven "dispensations" (epochs or periods). Those dispensations are time periods during which God reportedly deals with human beings in "distinctly different ways" (Malcolm, 2001). At the culmination of these various dispensations will be Jesus Christ's thousand-year reign on earth. Premillennial alludes to the belief that Christ will return to Earth prior to the millennial period of peace referred to in Revelation."

Abstract
The paper argues that pharmacists have a moral obligation - not simply a professional one - to put the interests and concerns of their patients ahead of their own subjective values when it comes to determining who shall receive what drugs and when they shall receive them. The paper explains that in the case of emergency contraception, the likelihood that the pharmacist's own values and moral precepts will clash with the patient's is especially great - and is very likely to cause pain and unhappiness for all unconcerned because of the deeply personal and sensitive nature of the situation. Nonetheless, the paper emphasizes that however objectionable the pharmacist may find it, professional and moral (ethical) obligations demand that he or she dispense the appropriate drugs if the proper medical clearance has been granted. The paper notes the reasons pharmacists give for refusing to dispense drugs on these occasions - and argues why these arguments do not stand up to scrutiny.

Abstract
The writer describes the details of his project on conscientious objection and the dispensation of drugs in emergency contraception cases. The paper explains that the project is justified and desirable on the grounds that determining a professional pharmacist's moral and ethical responsibilities to his or her patients in crisis situations will go a long way towards establishing appropriate ethical parameters for professionals who are trying to reconcile their duties with their own conscience. The writer relates that the research paper is both an ethical treatise and a personal journey.

Abstract
This paper examines the ethics of dispensing drugs in a situation where the law prohibits doing so. It discusses whether the law of the land takes precedence over the life of the individual. It does not aim to come to a conclusion to the question, but rather explores ethical implications from various points of view. It also applies the Kantian imperative to the question.
From the Paper
"Strictly from the point of view of law, there is good reason to abide by it at all costs. Supposing that the schedule 7 prescription drug was dispensed for the prompt relief of the terminally ill cancer patient without the physician's consultation on this instance. What is this setting a precedence of? It is too severe to suggest that there could be another trip to the same pharmacist in the near future, of behalf of the same patient, with another dire circumstance calling for another prompt breaking of the law?

Abstract
This paper discusses how objections have been raised to Camden County College's decision to install condom dispensers in all of the university's restrooms and how opponents argue that this sends a bad message to the student body, regarding sexual practices. The paper looks at some of the counter arguments such as far from sending the wrong message to students, installing these dispensers sends the right message--that the administration expects students to behave like adults, and that it promotes safe sex.
From the Paper
"However, it could be argued in response that far from sending the wrong message to students, installing these dispensers sends the right message--that the administration expects students to behave like adults, and that it promotes safe sex. Additionally, some students may feel embarrassment about purchasing condoms in drugstores. While it could be argued that this is a juvenile sensation, surely it is better to install the dispensers where condoms can be purchased in private, than it is for students to engage in unsafe sex. "Dispensers would also allow students to obtain condoms anonymously, therefore eliminating the embarrassment of asking another person" (Cooper 2006, p.2). Regarding parent disapproval--surely the health of the students should come before any desire to craft a particular 'image' for visitors. "

Abstract
The paper discusses Flavia's three important patents; one for a machine that dispenses beverages made by injecting a liquid into a packet containing other beverage-producing materials, another for a sachet that is comprised of two laminates which are heat-sealed together, and the third for a process to treat roasted coffee. The paper also lists the various trademarks associated with Flavia and with Mars, Inc. The paper relates that Flavia allowed Mars to become a pioneer of single-serving hot beverage dispensers in the growing office coffee industry.
From the Paper
"Flavia is a brand of coffee-related products owned by Mars Inc, the candy bar maker. Relating to Flavia are three important patents. The first is 5,272,960. This is for a machine that dispenses beverages made by injecting a liquid (hot water) into a packet containing other beverage-producing materials. The device was invented by Robert N. Kinna of Bramley Green, England. It is presently owned by Mars, Inc. The patent was filed on November 1, 1990 and was issued December 28, 1993. This invention has several other unique features. One is that the devise uses liquid pressure to open a seam in the sachet. The seam is weakened with a heat source prior to opening to prevent explosion. The heat source is either hot liquid or a radiant source. The machine is typically used to make hot chocolate. There are several independent claims associated with this patent. The broadest of these includes any number of different sources of heat to break the sachet seal, including a hot wire or steam from a hot water tank. This process can also be conducted with the aid of an activator, and that activator may come with an automatic deactivation function or not."

Abstract
This paper argues that despite warnings about obesity, very little is being done in the US to promote healthy eating, particularly in schools. The paper points out that although some schools are refurbishing their lunchroom menus and removing soda dispensers, parents need to be part of a child's eating education. Additionally, the paper notes the reasons for the popularity of fast-food chains.The paper concludes by stating that finger pointing has not found a responsible solution to ensuring better healthful eating habits in the U.S.
From the Paper
"No more trans-fats at KFC. Wendy's is putting calorie counts on its menu choices. These activities by some of America's leading "fast-food" chains are part and parcel of the government's and the public's recognition that too many Americans are literally eating themselves into an early grave. Obesity is the result of becoming a couch potato and not eating healthful foods. Something, finally, is being done to do more than prescribe a food pyramid. It is time to change the eating habits of an entire generation to prevent the disaster of reducing the lifespan which had gradually crept up into the 70s for Americans. What..."

From the Paper
"This paper is a review and critique of J. Dwight Pentecost's Things to Come: A Study in Biblical Eschatology. This book is an attempt at creating a systematic theology for the Evangelical Christian movement generally known as Dispensationalism (even though that is not an ideal name for it). Dispensationalists like to believe that their theology goes back to the ancient church, and in a sense it may, insofar as it crystallizes tendencies that have always existed within Christian thought. However, as a distinct movement, it began with the work of John Nelson Darby (1800-1882), who defected from the Anglican Church, which he believed to be corrupt, and founded the group that would come to be called the Plymouth Brethren. He visited America several times in the post-Civil-War period and gained many followers.
In this massive work (633 pages), Dr. Pentecost, one of the most.."
