Abstract: In one aspect, an example system includes a first distributor server to cause transmission of first media associated with first data representing a first state of the first media scheduled to end at a scheduled end-time. The example system includes a receiver to obtain second data representing a second state of a past event corresponding to a subject of the first media, determine a predicted end-time of the first media based on a comparison of the first and second states, and after a determination that the predicted end-time is after at least one of the scheduled end-time of the first media or a scheduled start-time of second media, generate an electronic program guide (EPG) based on the predicted end-time. The example system also includes a second distributor server to cause transmission of a portion of second media to the receiver, the second distributor server different from the first distributor server.

Abstract: Prior art describes methods for making whole-plant extracts from the Cannabis plant. Terpenes and cannabinoids are classes of compounds found inherently in those extracts. But, because those extracts contain hundreds of different, and sometimes counteracting, compounds, they are not the most effective treatments for common health issues. Specific terpenes and cannabinoids may be isolated and chosen for their use for specific conditions. Examples of the present invention differ from the prior art by selecting isolated compounds (Like the cannabinoid THC and the terpene Myrcene) and specifically combining them with essential and topical agents to produce targeted treatments.
