UK – October 21, 2026 -- Inspired Entertainment (NASDAQ: INSE) has launched Aphrodite Legends of OlympusTM in the UK B3/LBO market, with a Cat C release scheduled for November.

The title is the latest in the Legends of OlympusTM series, which draws on Greek mythology. It combines the Win & Spin Bonus with the Triple Hit Combo mechanic, both already used in the series.

Three Jewel symbols drive up to seven feature combinations

Each Jewel symbol in view grows its corresponding urn, and the urn size carries over between spins. Once a feature is awarded, that urn returns to its starting size. More than one urn can trigger at once, producing a two-feature Super Bonus or a three-feature Mega Bonus, with up to seven possible combinations.

Chicago – October 21, 2026 -- Delta Dental Plans Association has committed three years of funding to five organizations building early-exposure pipelines into oral health careers, under its 2026 Future Workforce Fund.

President and CEO James W. Hutchison said a strong workforce requires "sustained investment, collaboration, and a commitment to learning what works." The funding is meant to help the grantees deepen their impact, strengthen evaluation and share approaches that other communities can replicate. The source does not disclose the total award amount or per-grantee allocations.

Five organizations receive 2026 Future Workforce Fund awards

The awardees and their programs are:

HEFEI – October 21, 2026 -- Sungrow's PowerTitan 3.0 battery energy storage system contained a thermal runaway event that reached 1259.8°C without spreading to adjacent containers or a medium-voltage substation, becoming the first stacked-cell BESS with an AC-block design to complete a large-scale fire test under UL 9540A: 2026 and CSA/ANSI C800-2025.

UL Solutions conducted the test. Fire Risk Alliance witnessed it and Jensen Hughes observed it. All three PowerTitan generations, 1.0 through 3.0, passed their large-scale fire tests on the first attempt.

Test layout replicated a utility-scale installation with 28.56 MWh of storage

The setup mirrored a block-level utility-scale layout. It included 28.56 MWh of fully liquid-cooled PowerTitan 3.0 units and a 7.4 MW medium-voltage substation. PowerTitan 3.0 combines stacked high-energy-density cells and the DC/AC power converter unit in a single 20-foot container.

Turku – October 21, 2026 -- Teleste has become the first company to embed Acapela's AI text-to-speech technology directly into its S-ARRIVE® passenger information platform, which serves trains, trams and metros.

S-ARRIVE now generates AI voice announcements as situations change

Operators can deliver passenger information instantly as situations evolve, covering routine next-stop announcements and disruption messages. S-ARRIVE synchronizes visual and audio communication, including service changes, so on-board screens and spoken messages stay aligned.

Acapela voices adapt pronunciation to local station names and transport vocabulary

Acapela's AI voices can be tuned to local station names and transport-specific terms. The companies say this improves voice quality, intelligibility and naturalness. Combined with visual displays, the announcements are meant to make the journey more accessible and to reach more passengers.

United States – October 21, 2026 -- Foodservice operators are being urged to match packaging to menu items before sports-season order peaks, with Pactiv EarthChoice soup cups and hinged-lid containers offered as options for chili, soups, wings, sandwiches and loaded fries.

Game-day volume turns small packaging flaws into service delays

Large orders, tight pickup windows and simultaneous tickets expose weak packaging quickly. A slow-to-secure lid slows the line, and the wrong container can cause leaks or soggy sides. Staff who must hunt for the right package or transfer food to another container lose time at the busiest point of a shift. The impact reaches catering, delivery, takeout and grab-and-go, including sites without game-day promotions, such as hotels, healthcare and senior living communities.

Miami – October 21, 2026 -- JIS Fall 2026 drew more than 11,000 jewelry professionals to the Miami Beach Convention Center on October 16–19, a 12% increase in attendance year over year.

Buyers from the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean source holiday stock

The four-day show brought together jewelry retailers, manufacturers and industry professionals from across the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Buyers could purchase inventory for immediate delivery or place future orders ahead of the holiday season.

The show floor covered fine and fashion jewelry, gemstones and accessories, as buyers built their assortments for the coming months.

Organizer calls attendance record-breaking

Sara McDonough, Event Director of JIS, described the edition as one of the strongest in the event's history, citing record-breaking attendance, and said the connections made would continue well beyond the show.

Boston – October 21, 2026 -- Health systems are hunting for abandoned pharmacy locations and retail end caps to convert into outpatient clinics, while shifting toward ownership of core real estate in proven markets, according to takeaways from Colliers' annual National Healthcare Conference held October 8.

The event drew brokers, health system executives, developers and investors. Hall Render shareholder Andrew Dick presented on emerging trends in health care real estate. Two other sessions covered provider portfolio strategy and the economy.

Trondheim – October 21, 2026 -- St George's and Epsom hospitals have introduced MazeMap digital wayfinding, funded through New Hospital Programme innovation funding secured by their parent organisation, St George's, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group (gesh).

Building work and relocations drive the wayfinding rollout at gesh

Building work and service relocations can make familiar hospital routes harder to follow. The MazeMap service lets the hospitals keep digital location information current as departments move, while supporting patients with different navigation needs.

Vancouver – October 21, 2026 -- Nevada Organic Phosphate Inc. (CSE: NOP) reported that drill hole MM26-12 intersected 37.4 metres (94.2 feet) of the target Meade Peak Member, extending the confirmed strike of the target zone to more than 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles).

MM26-12 sits 200 metres southwest of MM26-11 along trend

The hole lies roughly 200 metres (656 feet) further southwest along trend from MM26-11. It is the company's western-most hole drilled to date. Core logging noted oolitic zones typical of the Upper Phosphate Zone.

The company has not yet confirmed the true thickness or phosphate content of the Upper Phosphatic Zone. Both depend on assay results, which are pending. The 37.4-metre figure is an intersection length, not a grade or resource estimate.

Orlando – – October 21, 2026 -- The Penetron System was specified in June 2026 to protect the below-grade concrete at Provident Place, a 100-unit affordable senior housing community in Pompano Beach, Florida, where rising groundwater salinity threatens foundations.

Crystalline admixture and swellable waterstop cover slab, walls and elevator pits

Supermix, the ready-mix concrete supplier, provided the waterproofing solution for the foundation slab, retaining walls and elevator pits. The specification combines PENETRON ADMIX SB, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, with PENEBAR, a swellable waterstop for concrete joints.

Once added to the mix, the active ingredients in PENETRON ADMIX form a non-soluble crystalline structure through the pores and capillary tracts of the concrete. According to the company, this seals microcracks, pores and capillaries against water penetration from any direction.
