The Montana Heritage Center is a 165,000-square-foot facility next to the State Capitol in Helena that opened its doors in December 2025 after more than two decades of planning and design. Its three galleries include: the Homeland Gallery, which traces more than 10,000 years of Montana history, from ancient landscapes to today's modern communities; the Russell Gallery, which displays masterworks by Western artist Charles M. Russell, who spent time working as a cowboy near Lewistown and eventually Great Falls; and the Changing Gallery, which showcases a rotating selection of art and artifacts from the Montana Historical Society's collections. Visitors experience different time periods in Montana as they walk through the museum and its various galleries.

With the nation's 250th anniversary commemorations in their final months, the Montana Heritage Center's new space and expanded galleries provide the perfect place to learn about the state's story, from Indigenous nations to the fur trade, homesteaders and art history.

"From Helena to Ekalaka, Montana's history is on full display this fall," said Marta Bertoglio, director at the Montana Department of Commerce. "Whether you're walking through the new Montana Heritage Center or standing next to a dinosaur skeleton at a small-town museum, we encourage everyone to get outside and explore our state's incredible history."

"Montana is home to countless stories," said Molly Kruckenberg, director of the Montana Historical Society. "We hope visitors of all backgrounds will enjoy their time at the Montana Heritage Center and leave inspired to explore the state, whether that means walking the streets of Butte after seeing our mineshaft or visiting a homestead in Terry. The Heritage Center is just the beginning of the journey."

To continue a history tour through Montana, head north from Helena toward Great Falls and stop at The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center for an expansive overview of Lewis and Clark's epic journey across the country. From there, head east toward Havre and check out the unexpected Havre Beneath the Streets tour, which re-creates the time in Havre's history when a fire destroyed most of the town and business owners moved underground to carry on their business until the town could be rebuilt. Then, get a dose of dinosaurs at the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum in Malta, a stop along the Montana Dinosaur Trail that celebrates the state's enormous contributions to fossil findings around the world. Make it a loop by circling down to Glendive for the Frontier Gateway Museum.

Get to know more museums and the variety of history across Montana at these additional destinations:

- Museum of the Rockies: In Montana's Yellowstone Country, Bozeman's Siebel Dinosaur Complex houses one of the world's largest Tyrannosaurus rex collections and is open daily.

- C.M. Russell Museum: Central Montana celebrates the life and work of Montana's iconic cowboy artist, Charlie M. Russell, with a museum dedicated to his work that's open daily through Sept. 30, then Thursday through Monday for the winter season.

- The Historical Museum at Fort Missoula: Western Montana's Glacier Country's 32-acre historic site is open year-round, tracing western Montana's military, timber and rail history.

- Carter County Museum: Located in Ekalaka, Montana's first county museum — celebrating its 90th anniversary this year — is open daily through Oct. 31 and is a stop on the Montana Dinosaur Trail.

- The Livingston Depot Center: Built by the Northern Pacific Railway, the museum is a historic railway depot turned cultural museum and community event venue in downtown Livingston. It's open seasonally from May to September.

Before heading out, travelers should check individual museum websites for current hours and admission, as several sites shift to reduced seasonal schedules after Labor Day.

Initial pre-orders have sold out twice so far.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- LOS ANGELES - MagBak opened pre-orders for MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo, an $89 case uniquely engineered for the first folding Apple phone.

Unlike typical smart phones, a foldable phone changes shape several dozen times a day. MagBak Elite is built to adapt to this and make every use more flexible and enjoyable.

"Designing for a foldable phone means designing a case that actually works for multiple form factors. As we were creating Elite for Duo, we wanted to create a case that made the larger screen easier to use all while protecting the components and including MagBak's signature features," said Ronny I., head of product at MagBak. "Mounted on the fridge while you cook. Propped open on a plane to watch a movie. Charging in your car. Wallet on the back for every day carry ease. We built Elite for Duo so that all of it works whether open or folded."

The Elite Case supports wireless charging and, thanks to the integrated finger loop, extends how much of the screen a thumb can reach one-handed. Grip grooves along the edge make the case easier to open. Raised corner lips and air-cushioned corners absorb impact. Buttons and finger loops swap out in a range of colors.

And most importantly, MagBak's signature magnetic mounting and charging sees it's most advanced deployment yet.

A few of the innovations built into MagBak's Elite for iPhone Duo Case:

360 Protection

MagBak's Elite Case covers the whole phone with reinforced corners, and includes a screen protector for the front screen.

Kickstand

Elite's built-in metal Kickstand supports portrait or landscape modes whether folded or unfolded. Clicks away securely when not in use.

Finger Loop

MagBak's innovative silicone Finger Loop makes one-handed and two-handed use more comfortable and stable. The Finger Loop retracts when not in use and doesn't interfere with charging.

MagSafe Charging

The Elite Case for Duo is compatible with 25W MagSafe charging. The case features precise magnetic alignment for efficient charging.

Magnetic Mounting

Magnet arrays in both the back panel and the hinge side mean the Duo sticks to any metal surface or MagBak's MagStick mounting system in open or folded mode.

Spine Shield

The Spine Shield protects the hardest-working part of Duo, guarding the hinge without interfering with opening. It's also magnetic for stable mounting when open.

MagBak Wallet for iPhone Duo

Compatibility with MagBak's Smart Wallet, one of the only phone wallets sized to work with the iPhone Duo.

MagBak Duo Case Pricing and availability

MagBak Elite for iPhone Duo is $89, available for pre-order now at Magbak.com. Initial pre-orders have sold out twice so far, with new orders expected to ship mid-November.

Elite for Duo is available in Black and Beige. Swappable color packs are available in Red, White and Grey. Each case includes a MagStick and an external screen protector with installation kit.

Free U.S. shipping over $50. 30-day returns.

iPhone Duo Accessories: Compatible with MagBak Ecosystem

MagBak Elite Case for iPhone Duo works with the full MagBak ecosystem: the MagBak Wallet, MagSticks, the 3-in-1 MultiCharger, the Travel Charger, and MagBak phone mounts and chargers for cars and Tesla vehicles.

About MagBak

MagBak is a beacon of innovation and a market leader in mobile phone accessories, everyday carry (EDC), and automotive solutions. Built by a team of skilled engineers and creative thinkers, MagBak designs magnetic phone cases, mounts and chargers in Los Angeles.

A look at America's real estate news, including good news for home buyers and Florida home sales are up. Top 10 Real Estate News is featured at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --

America's Top 10 Real Estate News

Good News For Home Buyers

The US home market is gradually shifting in buyers' favor after years of sellers having the upper hand, but many buyers remain hesitant to act. There are a lot more sellers than buyers in today's market. In August, there were 58% more sellers than buyers nationwide, the largest disparity since Redfin started monitoring the data in 2013. Additionally, the National Association of Realtors estimates that the market has 4.9 months of supply at the present rate of sales. That is the greatest level in almost ten years.

More US Homes Listed, But Fewer Sales

Major American cities, including Seattle and Nashville, are finally seeing an increase in home listings. According to Homes.com, the national inventory of homes increased in 70% of 930 markets as buyers remained cautious. In Seattle, listings increased 21.5% to 15,959 homes, but home sales declined 12.8%. And in Nashville, sellers have given buyer incentives up to $36,000 and lower commissions, and listings are up 18.7% and sales are down by 7%.

Las Vegas Underground Doomsday Mansion Sells $4.5 Million

Avon Cosmetics executive Girard Henderson built his underground Las Vegas vacation home in the 1960s as a nuclear fallout shelter. It was an era after the Cuban Missile Crisis when everyone in the country feared a nuclear attack, and many who could afford it were busy building underground bomb shelters as fast as they could. Henderson, definitely able to afford it, topped them all with this 14,620-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 6-bath elegant home that contained the best features, architecture and decor of the era. It just sold for $4.5 million.

Mortgage Rates Hit Three-Year High

Mortgage rates increased again this month, with the 30-year fixed-rate loan averaging 7.4%, the highest level since November 2023. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage also increased to an average of 6.73%, up from 5.53% at this time last year.

Al Capone's Vacant Homesite Gains $5.5 Million In 6 Years

It's not exactly a holdup, but the vacant lot where Al Capone's Miami Beach mansion once stood has sold for $21 million, a profit of $5.5 million in just six years. The beachfront property on Biscayne Bay, including Capone's home, sold in 2021 for $15.5 million. The mansion was demolished in 2023.

Florida Home Sales & Prices Go Up

Despite higher interest rates, home sales and prices in Florida are going up, especially in areas with ocean views. For example, sales of Pompano Beach condos near the ocean (zip code 33062) in August increased by an average of almost $200,000 from August 2025, from $638,875 to $836,358. The total number of closed sales also increased. A significant reduction in Florida homes for sale is also contributing to higher prices, as statewide Florida housing inventory fell by double digits in August.

Donald Trump's Childhood Home Finally Sells

After being extensively renovated from years of mold and neglect, Donald Trump's childhood home in New York's Queens borough has sold for $1.93 million. The Tudor-style home in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood was built in 1940 by his father, developer Fred Trump. According to Zillow, the house has changed hands multiple times in recent years, including for $2.14 million only months after Trump took office in 2017. Tommy Lin, the seller, paid $835,000 for the five-bedroom, three-bathroom house last year.

Orlando, Miami & Tampa Named Best US Retirement Towns

Given the state's legendary appeal to retirees, it is no surprise that Florida is home to the top three retirement cities in the US, with Orlando first, Miami second, and Tampa in third place. WalletHub, a personal finance startup, has conducted research comparing 182 US metro areas based on 45 important criteria in four main categories: healthcare, activities, affordability, and quality of life. Orlando ranked No. 2 for affordability, 17th for activities, 77th for quality of life, and 11th for healthcare. Miami ranked first for art galleries and fishing facilities per capita, sixth for walkability, and seventh for adult volunteer options. Tampa has the 19th-lowest property crime rate and ninth-highest number of bingo halls per capita. Due to the state's low taxes overall and lack of income or estate taxes, all three cities also scored points for being tax-friendly.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Michigan Homes For Scientists

In 1949, a group of twelve scientists from Upjohn sought out Frank Lloyd Wright to design a community of homes. With simplicity, form and function in mind, Wright's Usonian designs met their criteria. They wanted houses that they could build themselves or with limited help and chose a 70-acre parcel of open and wooded land with a three-acre pond in Galesburg, Michigan. They originally named it Galesburg County Homes Acres but later abbreviated it to The Acres. Each scientist wrote a letter to Wright requesting his help to design the project.

Although the project had many supporters at Upjohn, it was a bit of a drive from Kalamazoo before Interstate 94 was built and perhaps too unusual for Midwestern tastes. Only four Wright homes were ever built at The Acres: The David and Christine Weisblat Residence, the Eric and Pat Pratt Residence, the Samuel and Dorothy Eppstein Residence and the Curtis Meyer Residence. The Eppstein Residence is now for sale, asking $2.1 million.

Florida Is Major Destination For Americans

Large numbers of people are still relocating to Florida, and the pace is growing. According to Florida driver's license data, over 200,000 people transferred licenses from other states to Florida during the first half of 2026, the highest first-half year total since 2023. With 23,436 license transfers, New York sent Florida the most people, followed by Georgia, New Jersey, California, and Texas. The current pace is still slower than it was during the pandemic. In the first half of 2021 and 2022, transfers totaled 215,412 and 243,421, respectively.

Meant Highlights Care Coaching and Nutrition Support as Core Parts of Telehealth GLP-1 Weight Care

MANASSAS, Va., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Meant is putting a spotlight on what happens alongside GLP-1 weight care after the prescription decision: ongoing Care Coach support and a supplement kit. The telehealth platform pairs an online health assessment with day-to-day guidance, so people have structure and support while licensed providers handle the clinical decisions.

Support Doesn't End at the First Appointment

For many people, GLP-1 weight care raises questions that go well beyond the first appointment, from nutrition routines to what to expect week to week. Those questions tend to come up between check-ins, which is why Meant builds ongoing guidance into the program rather than leaving it to chance.

Meant does not diagnose or prescribe. Eligibility and prescribing decisions are made case by case by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

What the Program Includes

- Online Health Assessment: A short online questionnaire is reviewed by a licensed provider, who determines whether a prescription is appropriate.

- Care Coach Support: A dedicated Care Coach and care-team messaging offer guidance on routines, nutrition habits, and questions between check-ins.

- Supplement Kit: Eligible plans include a curated supplement kit, such as magnesium, omega-3, and marine collagen, intended to complement everyday nutrition. Contents vary by plan.

Learn How the Pieces Fit Together

Anyone curious about how the assessment, coaching, and supplement kit work together can learn more at Meant Health, where the short online questionnaire is the first step.

About Meant

Meant is a health and wellness technology company focused on personalized GLP-1 weight-care support delivered through telehealth. The platform combines an online clinical assessment, licensed oversight through OpenLoop Health, Care Coach support, and supplemental wellness resources. Meant does not itself diagnose or prescribe; clinical decisions are made by its clinical partners.

- Jack Henry will be the first core banking technology provider to integrate with Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL)

- Expanded capabilities help financial institutions innovate, retain deposits, and deliver new digital experiences

- The announcement builds on the strategic relationship Jack Henry and Google Cloud established in 2022

MONETT, Mo., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry® (Nasdaq: JKHY) today announced an expansion of its collaboration with Google Cloud designed to pave the way for banks and credit unions to offer tokenized deposits through Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL). As part of the expanding relationship, Jack Henry will become the first core technology provider to integrate with GCUL, helping financial institutions modernize deposit offerings, strengthen accountholder relationships, and introduce new payment and settlement capabilities. GCUL is a fully managed, distributed ledger service that enables financial institutions to tokenize and transfer money and assets on a shared, real-time record with programmable, 24/7 settlement capabilities.

As consumer and business expectations continue to evolve toward real-time, programmable, and seamless financial experiences, community and regional financial institutions face growing competition from large banks and fintech providers. By integrating tokenized deposit infrastructure into Jack Henry's ecosystem, banks and credit unions can explore new transactional use cases, enhance digital experiences, and position themselves to meet emerging market demands.

"Tokenized deposits have the potential to reshape how money moves across the financial ecosystem," said Jack Henry Chief Technology Officer Ben Metz. "Our strategy is centered on helping financial institutions navigate emerging technologies and access innovative capabilities through trusted, scalable infrastructure. By expanding our work with Google Cloud and serving as the first core technology provider to use GCUL, we're helping community banks and credit unions explore new opportunities while building on the relationships, service, and expertise that have always set them apart."

Jack Henry and Google Cloud established their strategic relationship in 2022 to accelerate Jack Henry's cloud-native technology modernization strategy. Last June, the companies announced plans to deliver AI-driven security capabilities, integrating Google Cloud's agentic defense solutions to protect banks and credit unions against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. The integration with GCUL combines modern ledger technology with secure, scalable cloud infrastructure to help financial institutions explore new digital asset and payment capabilities.

Key benefits of tokenized deposits through GCUL include:

- Deposit Retention and Growth: Helps financial institutions retain deposit relationships while offering emerging digital payment and value-transfer capabilities.

- 24/7 Programmable User Experience and Near Real-Time Settlement: Provides end clients with instant, 24/7/365 payment execution and automated, programmable workflows across an expanding network of institutional participants, currencies, and asset classes. Supports automated settlement processes and programmable payment workflows that can improve efficiency and flexibility.

- Seamless Integration: Leverages Jack Henry's modern architecture to simplify adoption and reduce operational complexity.

- Trusted Enterprise Infrastructure: Blends Jack Henry's modern architecture to minimize operational friction and simplify adoption with Google Cloud's secure, scalable, and resilient distributed ledger infrastructure.

- Capital Efficiency: Maximizes capital efficiency through automated clearing and multilateral netting without requiring liquidity tie-ups or pre-funded accounts, enabling institutions to scale digital asset capabilities while fully preserving core reserves and primary deposit relationships.

"Financial innovation should be accessible to institutions of all sizes," said James Tromans, director, Web3 and Digital Assets at Google Cloud. "Google Cloud Universal Ledger provides a secure and scalable foundation for programmable value exchange. Through our collaboration with Jack Henry, we are bringing advanced digital asset capabilities to community and regional financial institutions, helping them build on the relationships and trust they have established with their customers."

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DPR Construction, a forward-thinking, self-performing contractor, ranked No. 3 on Engineering News-Record's 2026 Top Green Contractors list, up from No. 4 in 2025.

ENR's annual Top Green Contractors list ranks firms based on revenue from construction services on projects registered with or certified by third-party organizations that establish standards for environmental impact, energy efficiency or carbon footprint.

"Every year, we challenge ourselves to find new and better ways to build more responsibly," said George Pfeffer, DPR Construction CEO and Leadership Team member. "The decisions made on a project can have an impact long after construction is complete. That responsibility drives our teams to keep improving and innovating alongside our customers and partners to deliver industry leading results."

The recognition comes as DPR continues to integrate sustainability into how projects are planned and delivered. Teams are incorporating environmental considerations into preconstruction, procurement and self-perform work, while expanding lifecycle analysis, developing guidance for lower-carbon materials and improving access to environmental product data. These efforts are helping teams evaluate options and reduce environmental impacts across projects.

"We are focused on demonstrating how our sustainability efforts translate into measurable results," said Ryan Poole, who leads sustainability at DPR Construction. "That means evaluating embodied carbon to make smarter material choices, conserving water, advancing zero-waste practices and accelerating the use of lower-emission equipment. The goal is turning innovation into practical solutions our teams can scale across every project."

Water strategies on major DPR projects saved more than 48 million gallons of freshwater in 2025 alone, according to DPR's 2025 Global Social Responsibility Annual Report. The report also details expanded use of lower-carbon concrete, cleaner equipment and lower emission fuels.

DPR is also working to make its environmental performance more transparent. Its Path to Regeneration provides a roadmap for reducing carbon emissions across its value chain and strengthening accountability over time. Ongoing improvements to environmental data and reporting are helping DPR better understand its impacts and track progress.

Across ENR's Top 100 Green Contractors, green contracting revenue increased 5.9% in 2025 to $101.9 billion. ENR also noted a more complex operating environment, with owners weighing sustainability goals alongside rising construction costs, labor constraints and shifting federal policies.
